Playlogic Profitable After Initial Losses

Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. Announces Financial Results of Q1 2007

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, April 25, 2007 -- Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: PLGC) announced financial results for the first quarter of 2007, ending March 31.

Revenues

Net revenues have climbed to $3.5 million in Q1 2007, up from $2.7 million for the same period the year before, an increase of 30%. The increase was primarily due to newly released PC titles, including "Infernal" and "Ancient Wars: Sparta."

Gross Profit

Gross profit was up to $2.4 million which is an increase of 140% compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2006. This increase is also attributed to slightly lower costs of new PC title production.

Operating Profit

Recorded net profit from operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, was $1.1 million versus net loss of $1.2 million in Q1 2006.

Net Profits

Net profits for the quarter amounted to $0.8 million, increasing significantly from $1.2 million in net losses the first quarter of 2006, reversing a trend of quarterly losses.

Profit per Share

This quarter, profits per share went up to $0.03 per share from a loss per share of $0.05 in Q1 of the previous year.

Current Climate

Successfully released and upcoming titles, a continued development contract with Sony Entertainment Europe, and a focus on savings in general and administrative expenses, all contributed to strong first quarter results. Further marketing investments were also made to ensure visibility and success of released titles.

"The profit results from our clear and independent strategy, and continued focus on the development and release of quality games through our network of trusted distributors. We expect this trend which started to become visible in the second half of last year to continue," said Playlogic's President, Willem M. Smit. "Playlogic is reversing its initial losses and will continue to invest in its further growth by acquiring and publishing high quality content on all platforms to diversify our product portfolio."

The Company expects revenues and gross profits to increase according to the release of the new line-up of high quality titles. Initially revenues might fluctuate per quarter mirroring actual release dates but as more titles become available, Playlogic expects to see steady revenue with continued profitability.
