Marco Husges, EVP of Conspiracy Entertainment, said, "The innovators of 'Winter Sports' have outdone themselves with their latest creation -- 'Summer Athletics'. Sports action has never been more realistic and thrilling. Robust functionality, including comprehensive character customization tools, varied control designs, and single and multi-player modes, is designed to keep gamers entertained for hours. We look forward to getting the game out to North America this summer."

Christopher Kellner, International Sales Director of dtp entertainment AG, said, "When we decided to do 'Summer Athletics' together with 49Games, we wanted to carry forward the enthusiasm and functionality that made 'Winter Sports 2008' a blockbuster release to summer sports activities. We feel we have accomplished this goal, and have teamed with an expert distributor to ensure the game receives the broadest market exposure in North America. Together, we look forward to strong product launch this summer."

Keith Tanaka, CFO of Conspiracy Entertainment, said, "This agreement provides another important alliance with one of today's leading European entertainment software publishers. Our distribution of "Wii: Winter Sports" last year quickly lead to large re-orders, and we anticipate even greater sales success for the multi-platform 'Summer Athletics' beginning in the third quarter."

Summer Athletics is currently scheduled for summer 2008 and will be available on PS2, Wii, Xbox 360 and PC.
