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 generated 16.9% of our total
sales in 2011 compared to 17.0% in 2010 and increased by 6.0% to
