During this same period, the Company reported an operating loss of $1.1 million compared to operating income of $2.4 million in the same 2008 period.

Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer of Majesco, said, "We delivered another quarter of solid top line growth, generating revenue of $17.2 million, an increase of 19% over last year, on the continued strength of our Cooking Mama franchise, especially the recently released Gardening Mama. Profitability in the quarter was impacted by a soft retail performance from our Go Play line and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. In addition, our bottom line reflects the impact of our discretionary marketing investments, specifically in support of the launch of Go Play, as well as the lower margin associated with Night at the Museum, which was an opportunistic pick up in the quarter. We enter the fourth quarter with our strongest product line-up as we plan to launch SKUs in our two biggest franchises--Cooking Mama and Jillian Michaels. Cooking Mama 3: Shop and Chop for DS is the third iteration in the best-selling cooking franchise and Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010 for Wii is the sequel to last year's holiday hit and will launch in conjunction with a DS sku for the first time. As a result, we have increased our revenue guidance and reiterated our profitability expectations for the full fiscal year.

"Overall our business continues to evolve positively. We are executing on our strategy of franchise development with a singles and doubles approach. Our pipeline continues to develop and we are seeing an increasing number of higher quality new business opportunities which meet our financial criteria and fit our core strategy. We have a strong release slate for the holiday, which we believe is one of our strongest ever, and are looking forward to the successful release of these titles. We remain focused on prudently managing our costs and are committed to delivering profitable growth."

    (1) Represents charges to settle certain litigations pending in the
    United States District Court, District of New Jersey:  (i) a securities
    class action brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the
    Company's securities; (ii) a private securities action filed by Trinad
    Capital Master Fund, Ltd.; and (iii) a second action filed by Trinad
    purportedly on behalf of the Company.  All three actions are now
    concluded.

    (2) Represents the change in the fair value of warrants, classified as a
    liability. The fair value of the warrants is calculated at each balance
    sheet date with a corresponding charge or credit to earnings for the
    amount of the change in fair value.

    (3) Represents expenses recorded for stock compensation expense in
    accordance with SFAS 123R. The Company does not consider stock-based
    compensation charges when evaluating business performance and management
    does not consider stock-based compensation expense in evaluating its short
    and long-term operating plans.

    (4)  Represents operating expenses related to our internal development
    studio in California, which were not allocated to capitalizable projects.
    After evaluation of the studio's performance, and changes in the
    availability and cost of development with our third party partners, we now
    believe that closing the studio and taking advantage of these external
    opportunities represents a better value for the Company.

    (5) In November 2008, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
    $1.1 million from the sale of the rights to approximately $14.2 million of
    New Jersey state income tax  operating loss carryforwards, under the
    Technology Business Tax Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey
    Economic Development Authority.  The amount represents utilization of
    approximately 34% of the $41.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards
    available to the company in the state of New Jersey, prior to the
    transfer.  The amount has been recorded as an income tax benefit during
    the nine months ended July 31, 2009.
