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.

Net loss through the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was $2.7 million versus net income of $3.0 million in the comparable 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."

studio in California, which were not allocated to capitalizable projects.

opportunities represents a better value for the Company.
