Iplayco Corporation Limited (TSX VENTURE: IPC) ("Iplayco" or the "Corporation") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 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 nine-month periods ended June 30, 2011 ("Q3-11" and "YTD - Q3-11", respectively). More detailed information can be found in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Q3-11 and YTD - Q3-11, which are being filed with the applicable Canadian regulatory authorities.

"Our consolidated sales increased by 13.0% to $1,935,179 in Q3-11 from $1,712,123 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 ("Q3-10"), with sales from our Manufacturing operations up 15.6%, and sales from our Family Entertainment Centre operations up 2.6% as compared to Q3-10. Our gross profit percentage remains weak due primarily to market pricing pressures, production costs, and the strength of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. Gross profit percentage was 26.1% of sales in Q3-11 compared to 33.6% in Q3-10. Our operating expenses decreased by 3.8% in Q3-11 compared to Q3-10. We are expecting robust growth in sales, margin, and earnings during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 ("Q4-11"), due primarily to two significant contracts of U.S. $898,000, and U.S. $1,225,000, which are expected to substantially impact our Q4-11 results," said Scott Forbes, President and Director of Iplayco.

Sales from our Manufacturing operations generated 81.8% of our total sales in Q3-11 compared to 79.9% in Q3-10, and increased by 15.6% to $1,582,484 in Q3-11 from $1,368,469 in Q3-10. Sales from our Family Entertainment Centre Operations generated 18.2% of our total sales in Q3-11 compared to 20.1% in Q3-10 and increased by 2.6% to $352,695 in Q3-11 from $343,654 in Q3-10.
