Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. Announces Half Year 2006 Financial Results

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, August 16, 2006: Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: PLGC) announced financial results for the fiscal 2006 second quarter, ended June 30.

Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net revenue climbed 325% to $3.1 million, from $0.7 million the year before. The change is primarily attributable to the release of new games (on PlayStation2, Xbox and PC) in the first quarter of 2006.

For the second quarter, ended June 30, 2006, revenues were $0.4 million versus $0.2 million, the comparable year-earlier period. The revenues were lower than the first quarter of 2006, because no games were released in the second quarter.

The first title to be released in the third quarter is "Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales" (PC). This title will be available at retail on September 1, 2006 in Europe and September 5, 2006 in the US and Canada. The game has received excellent reviews.

Shortly thereafter "World Racing 2," "Knights of the Temple 2," "Gene Troopers" (all three on several platforms) and "Xyanide" (Xbox) will be released in the US. In the fourth quarter, the highly anticipated "Ancient Wars: Sparta" and "Infernal" will hit the shelves.

The company expects to substantially increase its net revenues for the balance of the year as a result of the planned releases.

Gross profit

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, gross profit totaled $1.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, gross profit totaled $0.6. This represents an increase of 102%. This growth was caused by the increase in revenues.

Net loss

Net loss from operations for the six months ended June, 2006, was $3.9 million compared to $1.6 million the same period the year before. The increased loss is primarily due to higher selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses and the investments made in the development of games, which will be released in the fourth quarter of 2006 and in the course of 2007. These investments were made to ensure the continual growth and development of the company.

Funding

Playlogic is currently in negotiation with professional parties in the US to strengthen its financial position and to continue to invest in its future growth by acquiring and publishing more high quality products.
