For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported a net loss of $38.4 million, compared with a net loss of $30.1 million in the prior-year period.

"Despite a light first half, we are looking forward to a strong and profitable second half, including what we expect to be the biggest third quarter, both in revenue and earnings per share, in our company's history, with proven franchises Saints Row, WWE and the uDraw GameTablet, all launching in November."
The second half of fiscal 2012 is to be driven by releases of proven franchises such as Space Marine, Saints Row 3, WWE, and UFC.
