Iplayco Corporation Limited (TSX VENTURE: IPC) ("Iplayco" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2010. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

This news release contains financial information derived from Iplayco's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010. More detailed information can be found in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, which are being filed with the applicable Canadian regulatory authorities.

"The economic environment in our industry remains very challenging, and we continue to expect that access to external financing for many of our customers will remain tight throughout 2010. Our sales for the third quarter ended June 30, 2010 ("Q3-10") decreased by 11.5% as compared to the second quarter ended March 31, 2010 ("Q2-10"), due primarily to lower sales from our Manufacturing operations. Although sales in Q3-10 from our Family Entertainment Centre operations were also lower than in Q2-10, we are encouraged by the Centre's year-to-date sales and improved net operating results," said Scott Forbes, President and Director of Iplayco.

Sales from our Manufacturing operations generated 79.9% of our total sales in Q3-10 compared to 79.1% in Q2-10, and decreased by 10.6% to $1,368,469, as compared to $1,530,242 in Q2-10. Sales from our Family Entertainment Centre Operations generated 20.1% of our total sales in Q3-10 compared to 20.9% in Q2-10 and decreased by 15.2% to $343,654 in Q3-10 compared to $405,024 in Q2-10.
