Emerging Business and New Market Segment
 The Company is a pioneer in the growing Christian video game marketplace. Management believes that just as Christian music has grown in popularity; games represent the next growth market in Christian media. It is important to evaluate losses and dilution in a manner which one would expect to see growth in the correct context. Left Behind Games has become recognized throughout the US and somewhat in English speaking countries as a world leader and publisher of Christian video games. Amazingly, the Company has enhanced brand recognition, developed numerous games and entered into strategic agreements, focused on the continued growth of this new marketplace, for less cash than a typical video game company spends to develop a single game.
