Revenue for the Quarter was $282,625 as compared to $105,135 for Q2 2014 representing an increase of 169%. Gross profit for the Quarter was $195,722 as compared to $35,053 for Q2 2014 representing an increase of 458%. In conjunction with the realization of the sale of assets, net income attributed to common shareholders was $197,161 for Q2 2014 compared to a net loss of ($2,492,341) for Q2 2014 or an improvement of $2,689,502 as compared with the same period for the previous year.

Positive highlights for the Quarter include the following:

The Company has made significant strides in the first two quarters of Fiscal 2015 including the divestiture of all directly controlled assets in the non-new media advertising and language space. In the last 18 months, the Company has divested controlling interest in Itibiti, Ad Taffy, Poynt and Magnum. With the sale of Magnum, the Company transitioned, other than new media employees, over 90% of the staff to the buyer of that division. Intertainment is positioned to receive a significant portion of cash flow in Fiscal 2015 from the various divestitures.

During the second quarter, a number of other asset returns were realized including the sale of Shiny Ads providing a total return of $570,000 CAD to the Company from its original investment of $250,000 CAD. Intertainment also negotiated an amendment to the sale of Itibiti. The Company previously received $250,000 CAD during 2013 against the original note however the amendment finalized during the second quarter now provides for regular payments of $100,000 CAD monthly over 14 months, along with $250,000 CAD on closing which has been received. The Company retains its liquidity rights in the event of a sale or change in control of Itibiti.

Intertainment continues to maintain its portfolio of investments including TranzActive, CapThat, theAudience, Lexifone and Yappn Corp and will look to further pursue opportunities to divest remaining investments at opportune times to best benefit the Company and maximizes shareholder value.

The Company owns 85 million shares in Yappn Corp., which is publicly traded on the OTCBB under the symbol "YPPN". Yappn announced on December 1, 2014 a multi-year deal with Digital Widget Factory which expects to potentially generate revenues estimated at $3 Million USD during the first year of the contract with opportunities to accelerate those revenues in addition to its other business opportunities. As part of the negotiated program, Intertainment's division TranzActive, will receive a dividend of 20% of the net profit of the Digital Widget Factory program for its technology services.

"Our Second Quarter during this Fiscal Year has produced a very positive result for Intertainment which continues to show the commitment the Company has to generating increased revenue and building value for our Shareholders," said Anthony R. Pearlman, COO. "We continue to focus on the path we've set for ourselves to move the Company forward."

Intertainment continues to make advancements in reducing overall expenses and debts without further dilution while focusing its efforts on the programs for both TranzActive and Yappn, working towards further revenue gains as we continue to accelerate through the commercialization stage. The Company has made significant changes in its operations during the last two quarters which has provided substantial improvement to its income statement and resulted in major improvements over previous quarters.
