Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2006 Financial Results
Playlogic Shows Substantial Growth of Net Revenues
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, 05/23/2006:
Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: PLGC) announced
financial results for the fiscal 2006 first quarter, ended
March 31.
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, net revenue
climbed 440% to $2.7 million from $0.5 million the year
before. The change in quarterly revenue is primarily
attributable to the investments made in the previous years
that have started to pay off in the first quarter. Most of
the revenues came from new titles released on PlayStation2,
Xbox and PC in both the US (34%) and Europe (66%).
Net loss from operations for the first quarter ended March
31, 2006, was $1.2 million versus $0.56 million the
comparable year-earlier period. The higher loss is primarily
due to higher selling, marketing, general and administrative
expenses. These investments were made to ensure the continual
growth and development of the company.
Earnings per share are $(0.05) for the first quarter 2006,
compared to $(0.02) in the prior-year period.
The company is dedicated to substantially increase its net
revenues for the balance of the year as a result of the
planned releases. These include "Age of Pirates: Caribbean
Tales," "Age of Pirates: Captain Blood," "Ancient Wars:
Sparta," and "Infernal."
The company will continue to invest in its further growth by
acquiring and publishing more high quality products.
