FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Catalyst Game Labs and Publisher Services Inc. (PSI) are pleased to announce they’ve entered into a new agreement. Starting in June, PSI will be the exclusive sales and fulfillment agent for Catalyst Game Labs.

“While we’ll miss the great people we’ve worked with at Alliance—Gabe, Danny, Tom and others—we’re excited to be working with PSI more closely,” said Randall N. Bills, Managing Developer for Catalyst Game Labs. “We’ve had a long partnership with PSI already. They’ve handled our sales into the large chain bookstores for years and in early 2009 they took over all foreign fulfillment. It made sense to move all of our sales and fulfillment under a single company. We’re confident this will enable us to serve our game communities better than ever.”

Publisher Services Inc. (PSI) is a leading North American sales and fulfillment service organization enabling greater sales for small to medium-sized publishers to mass market, book trade, and specialty retail channels. PSI objectives are to work with their publishing partners to optimize their presence in the broad marketplace and offer the highest quality products to PSI retail customers.

As a full-service, “turn-key” sales and fulfillment operation, PSI works as a sales force, in-channel marketing consultant, warehouse facility, shipper, and collections agent… allowing publishers to focus mainly on product creation.

Dean Burnham, President of PSI, said, “PSI is excited to expand our relationship with Catalyst Game Labs and to build on the success they’ve already had with their product lines. While this change allows PSI and Catalyst to work closely on all sales fronts, it won’t change the way in which the retail markets are used to accessing product. Catalyst products will continue to be available through traditional distribution markets.”

Publisher Services, Inc.

In 2001, Publisher Services, Inc. (PSI) was born from the growing market demand for quality entertainment products. We recognized a gap in the marketplace between the creators of great products and the fantastic retailers looking to meet the needs of a growing consumer base.

We formed client relationships with a select group of high quality manufacturers of board games, card games, role-playing games and toys. Today, PSI is the exclusive distributor for a selective list of top game, toy and entertainment manufacturers.

PSI developed a unique business model and blossomed by following a carefully managed path to ensure the utmost level of service to its manufacturing partners and retail clients. As a market-focused distributor who offers business and marketing strategy to each of its publishing partners, PSI has a growth strategy that is likewise focused and targeted. This is not a volume-driven business, but a specialty service that analyzes market trends to enable our publishing clients and channel customers to capitalize on market demand.

Due to recent questions and concerns directed toward Catalyst Game Labs regarding the Chapter 7 Filing for Involuntary Bankruptcy, the management team for the company would like to address a few basic points in the hopes of improving public awareness against any misunderstanding or potential misinformation.

Catalyst Games is not operating under any order of bankruptcy. Currently, three separate parties claiming to be owed monies in the total amount of approximately $60,000 have filed a petition in an effort to force the company into bankruptcy. Catalyst questions the accuracy of this amount, and legal counsel for the company is currently researching the viability of their claims. We expect the petition to be ultimately denied.

The overall question, as it has been explained to the management team, is whether or not Catalyst has been working to meet its obligations and can reasonably expect to continue in such a manner. Ongoing and recent payments to two of the three parties involved in this petition, as well as additional payments sent out to numerous freelancers, would seem to argue in the company’s defense despite statements to the contrary.

Catalyst Game Labs remains committed to its policy of responsible dialog through press releases or within appropriate legal channels. It is not the company’s desire or intention to engage any individual in an argument outside of these confines. The company fully expects to prevail against any and all proceedings.

Today a judge rendered his decision on the first motion in the Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition involving Catalyst Game Labs. This motion, brought by the plaintiffs, charged that Catalyst Games did not respond within the proper legal timeframe and asked for immediate relief. The court ruled in favor of Catalyst Games, and the motion was dismissed, reinforcing the company’s position that it is handling the situation in a professional and timely manner.

Because there has been a great deal of misinformation and misunderstanding regarding the nature of this case, the company plans to release a follow-up statement to address these issues within the next few business days.
