2011. 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 six-month
periods ended March 31, 2011 ("Q2-11" and "YTD - Q2-11", respectively). More

"Our consolidated sales decreased by 31.8% to $1,319,650 in Q2-11 from
$1,935,266 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 ("Q2-10"), with sales
from our Manufacturing operations down 41.7%, and sales from our Family
Entertainment Centre operations up 5.4% as compared to Q2-10. Our gross profit
percentage was 35.9% of sales in Q2-11 compared to 33.3% in Q2-10 however this
represents a significant improvement from the gross profit percentage of 26.7%
in the previous quarter ended December 31, 2010 ("Q1-11"). Our operating
expenses decreased by 16.2% in Q2-11 compared to Q2-10 and remained at 55.8% of
total sales in Q2-11 as compared to the previous quarter, Q1-11. For the second
half of our 2011 fiscal year, we are expecting sales, gross profit and net
operating results from our Manufacturing operations to increase moderately, as
compared to the first six months of our 2011 fiscal year, due to firm order
commitments and expected new orders. On May 13, 2011, our Manufacturing
operations entered into a sales agreement of U.S. $898,000 to design,
manufacture and install a large play structure. In accordance with the terms of
the sales agreement, we received a cash deposit of U.S. $437,486 from the
purchaser. We are also expecting sales and net operating results from our FEC
operations to decrease moderately due primarily to seasonality," said Scott
Forbes, President and Director of Iplayco.


Sales from our Manufacturing operations generated 67.7% of our total sales in
Q2-11 compared to 79.1% in Q2-10, and decreased by 41.7% to $892,856 in Q2-11
