Balance Sheet. In the Assets section, the correct figure for future
income taxes is 1,311 (in thousands of U.S. dollars) and the
correct figure for capital assets is 4,386 (in thousands of U.S.
dollars).

CRP), a developer of branded online betting games and Internet

- Total expenses declined to $9.9 million (Q2 2010: $20.2 million, including
$7.3 million of non- recurring charges)
- Operating expenses decreased by 20% compared with Q2, reflecting the
initial impact of restructuring actions taken during Q3

- Hosted casino revenue at $5.6 million (Q2 2010: $5.8 million)
- Branded games revenue at $1.4 million (Q2 2010: $1.5 million)
- Net loss of $3.7 million (Q2 2010 Loss: $12.7 million, including $7.3
million of non-recurring charges)
- Net cash at September 30, 2010: $12.3 million (June 30, 2010: $17.4
million) partly reflecting the cash impact of one-time restructuring costs
amounting to $3.5 million
Outlook:
The full impact of additional measures taken during the third
quarter to reduce costs will have taken effect by the end of the
fourth quarter, resulting in a further significant decrease in the
Company's total recurring cost base. Management continues to focus
on delivering further efficiencies and improving revenue and
operational performance.
Overview
CryptoLogic implemented a further restructuring programme
following management changes announced on August 12, 2010. While
these measures commenced mid-way through the quarter, they
contributed to a significant reduction in costs and will make a
full impact in subsequent quarters.
Total expenses decreased to $9.9 million (Q2 2010: $20.2
million, including $7.3 million of non-recurring charges), while
operating expenses were down by 20% sequentially to $7.6
million.
The restructuring will result in the total recurring cost base
falling significantly in the fourth quarter. While the headcount
reduction plan has been executed, the focus on delivering further
efficiencies continues.
As part of the restructuring initiatives, a new operational
management team to lead the hosted casino business was brought in
to stabilise and reinvigorate the revenue base.
The consolidation of the Cyprus operations and most of the
London operations into Malta was substantially completed in the
quarter.
Operating and Financial Review
Total revenues in Q3 2010 decreased to $6.1 million (Q2 2010:
$6.7 million), reflecting seasonality during the historically slow
summer period, as well as a lower contribution from a key licensee
in branded games.
Hosted Casino
Revenue from fully hosted virtual casino rooms provided to
online gaming brand operators was $5.6 million in Q3 2010 (Q2 2010:
$5.8 million), reflecting normal seasonal patterns. CryptoLogic's
fully hosted casino was launched by Betsafe.com, a leading online
gaming operator, during the quarter.
Branded Games
Revenues from this segment decreased to $1.4 million in Q3 2010
(Q2 2010: $1.5 million), due to a decline in revenue contribution
from a key licensee. The Company continues to work closely with its
licensees to help them maximise revenue from CryptoLogic's
portfolio of branded gaming content.
13 new branded games went live in the quarter taking the total
number of games rolled out by licensees and generating revenues to
date to 156 from 143 at the end of Q2.
Poker and Other
Poker and other revenue amounted to $0.5 million ($0.6
million).
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Net cash as at September 30 amounted to $12.3 million (June 30
2010: $ 17.4 million) which consisted of cash and cash equivalents
and security deposits, or $0.89 of net cash per diluted share (June
30, 2010: $17.4 million or $1.26 per diluted share). The decrease
in net cash during Q3 2010 of approximately $5.1 million is due to
the cash impact of operating losses of $2.8 million, a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.8 million,
comprising $3.5 million paid in respect of reorganization costs,
partially offset by increased jackpot provision and timing of trade
payable payments, a decrease in income taxes payable of $0.1
million, a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable and
purchase of capital assets of $0.2 million. Partially offsetting
this is a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.3 million. The Company
continues to be debt free.
