REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Point.360
Burbank, California

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Point.360 (formerly New 360) and its subsidiary (collectively the “Company”) as of June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 (restated), and December 31, 2006 (restated) and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), invested and shareholders equity and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2008, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (restated) (the transition period 2007), and for each of the two years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006 (restated).   Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of Point.360 listed in Item 15(a).  These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Point.360 and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, 2007(restated), and December 31, 2006 (restated) and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2008, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (the transition period 2007), and for each of the two years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Point. 360’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 discussed in the accompanying Item 9A Controls and Procedures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” on July 1, 2007.
 
As described in Notes 1, 13 and 14 to the financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2006 and for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 for correction of an error in the calculation of deferred tax liability.

On August 13, 2007,  prior to the completion of the Merger,  (1) Old Point.360 contributed to the Company (the “Contribution”) all of the assets used by Old Point.360 in its post-production business and all other assets owned, licensed, or leased by Old Point.360 that were not used exclusively in connection with the business of Old Point.360 representing advertising agencies, advertisers, brands, and other media companies which require services for short-form media content (the “ADS Business”), with the Company assuming certain liabilities of Old Point.360 and (2) Old Point.360 distributed to its shareholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding common stock of  the Company (the “Spin-off”).
 
In the Spin-off, each Old Point.360 shareholder received one share of Company common stock (and a related preferred share purchase right)  for each share of Old Point.360 common stock held by the shareholder as of the record date of August 7, 2007.  As a result of the Contribution and the Spin-off, the assets and liabilities of Old Point.360 acquired by DG FastChannel in the Merger consisted only of those assets and liabilities exclusively related to the ADS Business.  Immediately after the completion of the Spin-off, DG FastChannel contributed to the Company shares of the Company common stock that it received in the Spin-off as a shareholder of Old Point.360.  As a result of the Spin-off, the Company became a publicly held company whose common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market and is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, including those of the Company’s only subsidiary, International Video Conversions, Inc. (“IVC”).  The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated Financial Statements.
 
The Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flow may not be indicative of its future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented, including changes in its operations and capitalization as a result of the separation and distribution form Old Point.360.
 
For periods prior to the Spin-off, certain corporate and general and administrative expenses, including those related to executive management, tax, accounting, legal and treasury services, have been allocated by Old Point.360 to the Company based on the ratio of the Company’s revenues to Old Point.360’s total revenues.  Additionally, balance sheet amounts shown as “Due to parent company” and “Due to parent company, less current portion” have been allocated by Old Point.360 to the Company based on the ratio of the Company’s working capital and net fixed assets to total Old Point.360 working capital and net fixed assets, respectively.  Management believes such allocations represent a reasonable estimate of such expenses that would have been incurred by the Company on a stand-alone basis.  However, the associated balance sheet amounts and expenses recorded by the Company in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of the actual balance or expenses that would have been recorded or incurred had the Company been operating as a separate, stand-alone public company for the periods presented.  Following the separation and distribution from Old Point.360, the Company has performed administrative functions using internal resources or purchased services.

The process of segregating the post production business and the ads business required the following:
 
 
·
Separation of sales, cost of sales, facility rents, personnel and other costs specifically related to each business.
 
 
·
Allocation of costs shared by all Old Point.360 businesses such as accounting, sales and information technology, based on either specific criteria or an allocation based on sales, asset levels or another appropriate means.  For example, interest expense related to Old Point.360 term and revolving credit loans was allocated based on property and equipment and accounts receivable balances of the post production and ads businesses, respectively.  Accounting (billing, credit and collection, etc.) was allocated based on sales.
 
 
·
Assets and liabilities related to each business were identified and assigned to post production or ads businesses.
 
 
·
Virtually all of the ads business was performed in five isolated facilities.
 
Invested equity at December 31, 2005 and 2006 and June 30, 2007 reflects the application of estimating techniques described above on those dates. Changes in invested equity from year to year are due to the income or loss of the Company and the net effect of the changes in balance sheet accounts determined by such estimating techniques.
 
In presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements

The financial statements include restatements of Deferred Income Taxes and Invested Equity as of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and June 30, 2007 to reflect the correction of an accounting error described in Note 13 to these consolidated financial statements.  Additionally, certain footnote data related to these amounts has been restated.  See Note 14 to these financial statements for restatement of these amounts in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and certain related footnotes contained in the Company’s Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2007, December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

Business Description
 
The Company provides high definition and standard definition digital mastering, data conversion, video and film asset management and sophisticated computer graphics services to owners, producers and distributors of entertainment and advertising content.  The Company provides the services necessary to edit, master, reformat, convert, archive and ultimately distribute its clients’ film and video content, including television programming feature films and movie trailers. The Company’s interconnected facilities provide service coverage to all major U.S. media centers. Clients include major motion picture studios, advertising agencies and corporations.
 
The Company operates in a single business segment from six locations.  Each location is electronically tied to the others and serves the same customer base.  Depending on the location size, the production equipment consists of tape duplication, feature movie and commercial ad editing, encoding, standards conversion, and other machinery.  Each location employs personnel with the skills required to efficiently run the equipment and handle customer requirements.  While all locations are not exactly the same, an order received at one location may be fulfilled at one or more “sister” facilities to use resources in the most efficient manner.
 
Typically, a feature film or television show will be submitted to a facility by a motion picture studio, independent producer, advertising agency, or corporation for processing and distribution.  A common sales force markets the Company’s capability for all facilities.  Once an order is received, the local customer service representative determines the most cost-effective way to perform the services considering geographical logistics and facility capabilities.
 
The Company does not have the systems to adequately segregate revenues for each product and service as orders can be for multiple services performed at several facilities.  Providing information contemplated by paragraph 37 of FAS 131 is impracticable.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents represent highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of less than three months.
 
Revenues and Receivables
 
The Company records revenues when the services have been completed.  Although sales and receivables are concentrated in the entertainment industry, credit risk due to financial insolvency is limited because of the financial stability of the customer base (i.e., large studios).
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may exceed FDIC insured limits.
 
Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is concentrated due to the large number of orders with major entertainment studios in any particular reporting period.  Our five largest studio customers represented 72%, 55% and 53% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 and 2008 respectively.  The Company reviews credit evaluations of its customers but does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables.
 
The five largest studio customers accounted for 52%, 58%, 56% and 52% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  Twentieth Century Fox (and affiliates) was the only customer, which accounted for more than 10% of net sales in any of these periods, or 26%, 33%, 34% and 26% in 2005, 2006, the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2008, respectively.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories comprise raw materials, principally tape stock, and are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined using the average cost method.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for additions and major improvements are capitalized.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lease term.
 
Goodwill
 
Prior to the January 1, 2002 implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 - 20 years.  Since that date, goodwill has been subject to periodic impairment tests in accordance with SFAS 142.
 
The Company identifies and records impairment losses on long-lived assets, including goodwill that is not identified with an impaired asset, when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.  Events and circumstances that may indicate that an asset is impaired include significant decreases in the market value of an asset, a change in the operating model or strategy and competitive forces.

 
11

 
 
The Company evaluates its goodwill on an annual basis and when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If the independent appraisal or other indicator of value of the asset or the expected undiscounted future cash flow attributable to the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded.  In 2007, fair value was determined using an independent appraisal, which was then compared to the carrying amount of the Company including goodwill.  In 2008, the discounted cash flow method was used to evaluate goodwill impairment and included cash flow estimates for 2009 and subsequent years.  If actual cash flow performance does not meet these expectations due to factor cited above, any resulting potential impairment could adversely affect reported goodwill asset values and earnings. To date, no such impairment has been recorded.
 
Amounts shown as Goodwill in the accompanying balance sheets represent the amounts of Old Point.360’s goodwill allocable to the Company (see Note 3 for the allocation method). Certain disclosures in the footnotes include a discussion of Old Point.360’s goodwill (as opposed to only that allocable to the Company) to provide an explanation of the total goodwill to be allocated.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”).  SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.  A valuation allowance is recorded for that portion of deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
 
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We adopted FIN 48 effective July 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of Interpretation No. 48, we did not recognize any increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48.

Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are not significant to the Company’s operations and are expensed as incurred.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
To meet the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”), the Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value is different than the book value of those financial instruments.  When the fair value is equal to the book value, no additional disclosure is made.  The Company uses quoted market prices whenever available to calculate these fair values.
 
Pro Forma Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Old Point.360 has historically followed SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”), and related interpretations for reporting earnings per share.  SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”).  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if a company had a stock option plan and stock options were exercised using the treasury stock method. While the Company will be subject to FAS 128, pro forma earnings per share in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) have been calculated based on the actual number of the Company’s shares outstanding upon separation.

Includes additional purchase price payments made or accrued to former owners in periods subsequent to various acquisitions of $1,000,000, $2,000,000 and $2,000,000 in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value.” SFAS 141R applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone. Under Statement 141R, all business combinations will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Statement 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  SFAS 141R will affect further acquisitions by the Company.
 
 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be treated as a separate component of equity and be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.  SFAS 160 has not yet affected the Company’s financial statements.
 
In January 2008, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, “Certain Assumptions Used in Valuation Methods” (“SAB 100”) which amends Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”).  SAB 110 allows for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of so-called “plain vanilla” stock options accounted for under FAS 123R.  SAB 110 amends SAB 107 to permit the use of the “simplified” method beyond December 31, 2007.  The adoption of SAB 110 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161. “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No, 133” (“FAS 161”).  The standard requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements.  FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of FAS 161 will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
3.  ACQUISITIONS:
 
During 1997 to 2007, Old Point.360 acquired eleven businesses.  These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired allocated to goodwill.  The contingent portion of the purchase prices, to the extent earned was recorded as an increase to goodwill.  As of June 30, 2008, additional purchase price earn-out payments are as described below.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the operations of the acquired post production companies since their respective acquisition dates.

Old Point.360’s goodwill and other intangibles, net, as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 consist of the following:
 
   
2006
   
2007
 
         
(unaudited)
 
Goodwill
  $ 37,050,000     $ 39,140,000  
Covenant not to compete
    1,000,000       1,020,000  
      38,050,000       40,160,000  
Less accumulated amortization
    (6,576,000 )     (6,576,000 )
    $ 31,474,000     $ 33,584,000  

Old Point.360 ceased amortizing goodwill on January 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS 142.  The covenant not to compete was fully amortized in 2003.
 
Old Point.360 operated in a single business segment due to the combination of facility assets, sales forces and management subsequent to the acquisitions, and the integration of branding and communications efforts. The goodwill acquired, therefore, is common to all Old Point.360 facilities. As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007,  the goodwill assignable to the Company was $9,253,000 and $9,868,000,  respectively, determined by comparing the value of the Company determined by an independent appraiser to the value of the advertising distribution business of Old Point.360 as evidenced by the market value of consideration to be paid by DG FastChannel for the advertising distribution business.
 
During 2006, the amount of goodwill, net, increased from $29,474,000 to $31,474,000 due to the $2,000,000 earn-out payment accrued for the IVC acquisition.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the amount of goodwill, net, increased from $31,474,000 to $33,568,000 due to the acquisition of Eden FX. As described above, a portion of Old Point.360’s goodwill, including goodwill from the IVC transaction has been allocated to the Company.
 
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the amount of goodwill did not change.
 
4.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
In March 2006, Old Point.360 entered into a sale and leaseback transaction with respect to its Media Center vaulting real estate.  The real estate was sold for approximately $14.0 million resulting in a $1.3 million after tax gain.  Additionally, Old Point.360 received $0.5 million from the purchaser for improvements. In accordance with SFAS No. 28, “Accounting for Sales with Leasebacks,” the gain will be amortized over the initial 15-year lease term as reduced rent.  Net proceeds at the closing of the sale and the improvement advance (approximately $13.8 million) were used to pay off the mortgage and other outstanding debt.
 
The lease is treated as an operating lease for financial reporting purposes. After the initial lease term, the Company has four five-year options to extend the lease. Minimum annual rent payments for the initial five years of the lease are $1,111,000 and increasing annually thereafter based on the consumer price index change from year to year.

Property and equipment consist of the following:
 
Depreciation is expensed over the estimated lives of machinery and equipment (7 years), computer equipment (5 years) and leasehold improvements (2 to 10 years depending on the remaining term of the respective leases or estimated useful life of the improvement). Depreciation expense totaled $ 5,096,000, $ 4,653,000, $2,359,000 and $4,700,000 for the years ended December 31,  2005 and 2006,  the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2008,  respectively.  Accumulated amortization on capital leases amounted to $ 254,000, $264,000 and $281,000 as of December 31, 2006, June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
 
In July 2008, the Company purchased land and a building.  See Note 14 - Subsequent Events.
 
5.  401(K) PLAN:
 
The Company has a 401(K) plan, which covers substantially all employees.  Each participant is permitted to make voluntary contributions not to exceed the lesser of 20% of his or her respective compensation or the applicable statutory limitation, and is immediately 100% vested.  The Company matches one-fourth of the first 4% contributed by the employee.  Contributions to the plan related to employees of the Company were, $92,000, $84,000, $53,000 and $96,000 in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2008, respectively.
 
6.  LONG TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE:
 
On December 30, 2005, Old Point.360 entered into a $10 million term loan agreement.  The term loan provides for interest at LIBOR (5.38% as of June 30, 2007) plus 3.15% and is secured by Old Point.360’s equipment. In March 2006, Old Point.360 prepaid $4 million of the principal with proceeds of a sale/leaseback transaction. The term loan will be repaid in 60 equal monthly principal payments plus interest.  Proceeds of the term loan were used to repay the previously existing term loan.
 
On March 30, 2007, Old Point.360 entered into an additional $2.5 million term loan agreement.  The loan provides for interest at 8.35% per annum and is secured by the Company’s equipment.  The loan will be repaid in 45 equal monthly installments of principal and interest.
 
The Company assumed both term loan agreements upon Spin-off.
 
In August 2007 the Company entered into a new credit agreement which provides up to $8 million of revolving credit based on 80% of acceptable accounts receivables, as defined.  The two-year agreement provides for interest of either (1) prime (5.00% at June 30, 2008)  minus 0%-1.00% or (2) LIBOR plus 1.50% - 2.50% depending on the level of the Company’s ratio of outstanding debt to fixed charges (as defined), or 4.50% or 4.91%, respectively, on June 30, 2008.  The facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets, except for equipment securing new term loans as described above.

In July 2008, the Company entered into a $6,000,000 Promissory Note with a bank for the purchase of land and a building.  See Note 14 – Subsequent Events.
 
 
7.
INCOME TAXES:
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No.48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). This interpretation prescribes a recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

The Company assumed all liability for income taxes of Old Point.360 related to operations prior to the Spin-off and Merger.  Effectively, the Company therefore adopted FIN 48, effective January 1, 2007. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002. The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. Old Point.360, and consequently, the Company, was last audited by New York taxing authorities for the years 2002 through 2004 resulting in no change. Old Point.360, and consequently, the Company, was previously notified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service of its intent to audit the calendar 2005 tax return. The audit has since been cancelled by the IRS without change; however, the audit could be reopened at the IRS’ discretion. Upon the implementation of FIN 48, the Company did not recognize any increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48.
