TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 30, 2012) - TransGaming Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TNG) ("TransGaming" or the "Company") today reported its first quarter fiscal year 2013 results. The Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and Management's Discussion and Analysis have been filed and are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Highlights

TransGaming's first quarter of fiscal 2013 was an exciting period with a strong start to the fiscal year. Highlights during and subsequent to the quarter include:

• The Company experienced year-over-year growth in revenue of 55% with total revenue of $1.55 million in the quarter driven by strong distribution revenues.
• Quarterly net cash outflow was reduced by $0.8 million from the same period the prior year due to a reduction in expenses.
• The Company announced it would commence trials with Select-TV in the Indo-Pacific region. This operator will initially introduce GameTree TV to 10,000 hotel suites in early November, with expansion to 50,000 suites and an audience of over a million guests in early calendar year 2013.
• The Company announced an agreement with another major IPTV service provider in Asia.
• TransGaming showcased GameTree TV at IBC2012 in Amsterdam in September. The Company's World Poker Tour® game with multi-screen gameplay was demonstrated which served as an outstanding glimpse of the capability of TransGaming's GameTree TV platform.

Commenting on the results, Vikas Gupta, CEO & President of TransGaming stated:

"Building on record revenues in FY2012, including Q4 being TransGaming's best quarter ever, we're extremely pleased with the strong start to FY2013. Within our first quarter we achieved multiple milestones including year-over-year revenue growth of 55%, with revenue of $1.55 million, driven by strong growth in both our licensing and distribution business segments. We believe this strong quarter sets the stage for what I expect to be a remarkable fiscal year. With the addition of multiple service providers in Asia, GameTree TV continues to dominate the fastest growing connected TV market in the world. But TransGaming is not only expanding our markets, we are also hard at work on "platform defining experiences" with exclusive games developed from the ground up for GameTree TV such as the World Poker Tour® game. Based on the incredible levels of excitement generated at IBC2012, we expect the game will be a runaway hit and that the momentum behind GameTree TV will continue."

Mr. Gupta added: "This was a quarter in which TransGaming continued to lay the foundations for future success, but also began to reap the rewards of our dedication to innovation. Looking forward, we will continue to position the company for absolute ubiquity, by dominating markets and defining consumer experiences."

In addition, the Company also announced today that it had applied to the TSX Venture Exchange to issue 750,000 bonus shares to Business, Engineering, Science & Technology Discoveries Fund and three affiliate funds ("Best Funds") in connection with its $3.5 million debt financing announced on January 6, 2012. The bonus shares are for an extension of certain renegotiated covenants through to February 2013. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants and continues to repay the promissory notes on the original payment terms. The bonus shares are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and when issued will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day pursuant to applicable securities laws.
