IPC Iplayco Corporation Ltd

Iplayco Corporation Limited (TSX VENTURE:IPC) ("Iplayco" or the "Corporation")
announces its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended September
30, 2011. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.


This news release contains financial information derived from Iplayco's audited
annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011
("2011"). More detailed information can be found in the audited annual
consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for
2011, which are being filed with the applicable Canadian regulatory authorities.


"Our consolidated sales increased by 6.6% to $8,467,618 in 2011 from $7,941,498
in 2010, with sales from our Manufacturing operations up 6.7%, and sales from
our Family Entertainment Centre operations up 6.0% in 2011 as compared to 2010.
Our gross profit percentage was low in 2011 due primarily to market pricing
pressures, production costs, and the strength of the Canadian dollar versus the
U.S. dollar. Gross profit percentage was 29.7% of sales in 2011 compared to
38.7% in 2010. We are however expecting moderate growth in sales and strong
growth in margin and earnings in 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to our
robust sales backlog. As announced on November 17, 2011, we've entered into
another significant sales agreement, of U.S. $1,750,000, which along with the
agreements of U.S. $1,752,000 and U.S. $1,358,000, previously announced on July
26, 2011 and September 6, 2011, respectively, are expected to favorably impact
the operating results of our current fiscal year ending September 30, 2012."
said Scott Forbes, President and Director of Iplayco.


Sales from our Manufacturing operations generated 83.1% of our total sales in
2011 compared to 83.0% in 2010, and increased by 6.7% to $7,033,071 in 2011 from
$6,588,467 in 2010. Sales from our Family Entertainment Centre Operations
