Playlogic Announces 2006 Financial Results

New Titles and Platforms Expand Playlogic's Portfolio

(Amsterdam, The Netherlands) April 18, 2007 - Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: PLGC) today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenues

Net revenues for the fiscal year 2006 increased substantially from $1.8 million in 2005 to $5 million for a 176% increase. The change is primarily attributable to increased distribution of games, including "Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales" distributed through Atari Group, and our continued relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

Gross Profit

For the fiscal year 2006, gross profit totaled $1.2 million, up from $0.7 million the previous year. This represents an increase of 71%. This growth resulted from the increased revenues against increased production costs of $3.8 million up from $1.0 million the previous year.

Operating Loss

The loss from operations for the year-ended December 31, 2006, including a one-time impairment on long-term assets of $1.9 million, was $10.3 million from $9.3 the previous year.

Net Loss

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 totalled $12.5 million versus $9.7 million the previous year. This loss includes increased interest expenditures for the year and a $1.3 million extra-ordinary one-time finance expense.

Private Placement

The company anticipates finalizing a private placement of $10 million during the second quarter, consisting of both the issuance of new shares and a loan. These funds will be used to improve the working capital and equity position of the Company. Playlogic will disclose further information on this private placement in the second quarter.
