nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $5.9 million, an increase

results, Interplay Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Herve Caen

difficult turnaround period of the past three years. We are now
focused on a two-pronged growth strategy. As we are working to
secure funding for the development of a Massively Multiplayer
Online Game (MMOG) based on the popular Fallout franchise, we are
at the same time exploring ways to leverage our impressive
portfolio of gaming properties through sequels and various
development and publishing arrangements." Caen added that the
company is reinitiating its in-house game development studio, and
has hired veteran game developer, Jason Anderson, as creative
director of a yet unannounced Massively Multiplayer Online Game.
