CHARTWELL ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2010

Chartwell Technology Inc. TSX: CWH

Calgary, Canada, September 13, 2010, Chartwell Technology Inc. (Chartwell or the Company) (TSX: CWH), a leading provider of games, gaming systems and platform for the regulated online casino gaming industry, announces unaudited financial results for the three months ended July 31, 2010. Business highlights for the third quarter of 2010: announced the addition of two top tier licensees, Centrebet and Globet, to its client roster; launched a comprehensive third quarter software release, being the second release since moving to a regular quarterly release schedule. The release included five new games; two slot games, two card games, and mini Blackjack; announced the achievement of the E-Commerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance eCOGRA accreditation, which certifies that the Companys product meets the stringent international requirements for software development.

Three months ended July 31, 2010 The third quarter of 2010 had total revenue of $3.0 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period a year earlier. The strength of the Canadian dollar against the Euro and GBP continued to contribute towards revenue that is comparably lower to periods of the prior year. This foreign exchange fluctuation represented over three quarters of the revenue decline for the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the prior years quarter. In addition the increased wagering at the time of the FIFA World Cup tournament was modest and failed to offset continued weakness in the greater European economy in the fiscal third quarter of 2010. The Company recorded a one-time non-cash impairment charge to goodwill of $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, which comes as a result of testing the valuation of goodwill in the quarter. The charge is an accounting adjustment and will not affect the ongoing operations of the Company. The goodwill was primarily acquired through past poker related acquisitions. Total expenses before income taxes and before the impairment of goodwill declined to $4.0 million from $4.4 million primarily due to a decline in the amortization of deferred software development and stock based compensation costs in the third quarter of the current year as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net loss for the third quarter before the impairment to goodwill was $1.1 million, a loss per share of $0.06 as compared to a net loss from comparable, continued operations of $475,000 or $0.02 per share in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

While the goodwill impairment charge has reduced net income and earnings per share, this adjustment is a non-cash item and does not affect our operations in any way. Chartwell continues to invest in providing quality online content as evidenced by our latest software release. said Alan Richter, CFO of Chartwell Technology. Total revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was only marginally below revenue for the same period in the prior year when considering the impact that foreign exchange has had on our top line. In addition, Chartwell has added two top tier clients to its roster, one of which is a returning client which we believe reaffirms our overall strategic direction. Cash flow used in operations was $200,000 in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to cash flow from operations of $170,000 for the same period in the prior year. Software development and support expense remained consistent at $2.4 million for both the third quarter of the current and prior year. Though costs were comparable between both quarters, the Company has seen a decrease in consulting costs, as the software certification costs incurred for the Alderney infrastructure in the third quarter of the prior year were not repeated in the third quarter of the current year. This decline in the third quarter of the current fiscal year was partially offset by an increase in salaries and related costs. Balance sheet strength The Company continued to maintain a strong balance sheet. At July 31, 2010 the Company had $17.0 million of unrestricted cash and short-term investments compared to $19.1 million at October 31, 2009. The Company had working capital of $19.2 million at July 31, 2010 as compared to $21.7 million at October 31, 2009.
