Supplemental Accounting Policies

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. One of the Company’s primary sources of revenue is sales of its video on-demand offerings, which are sold directly via its on-line retail website and paid for almost exclusively by credit card. The Company recognizes revenue from video on-demand when the service is rendered and collectibility is reasonably assured, specifically, when the customer’s credit card is charged, which is, in most cases, simultaneous with delivery of the on-demand video. Credit card payments accelerate cash flow and reduce the Company’s collection risk, subject to the merchant bank’s right to hold back cash pending settlement of the transactions. The Company also offers a prepaid video on-demand service in which a customer purchases a number of minutes of on-demand video at a set rate per minute based on the number of minutes purchased. The rate per minute decreases as the number of prepaid minutes increases. The Company records revenue from pre-pay customers as deferred revenue prior to commencement of services and recognizes revenue as the services are rendered. Prepaid minutes purchased under this program do not expire.

The Company also offers a customer loyalty program under which each member’s purchase of video on-demand, DVDs, movie downloads, books, novelties or other items earns the member one point for each dollar spent. After accumulating 150 points, a customer may redeem the points for a $5 purchase. Points increase in value as they are accumulated and redeemed, with a maximum accumulation of 2,000 points, which may be redeemed for a $200 purchase. All of a customer’s points expire after 180 days of no purchase activity. The Company follows the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-22 (“EITF 00-22”), Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future, Issue No. 2 in accounting for its loyalty program. Because the value of the award points is not significant in relation to the value of the services or products purchased by the customer, the Company records a liability for the estimated cost of the discounted services or products to be provided in the future.

1. The company and basis of presentation

Private Media Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was originally incorporated on September 23, 1980 as Glacier Investment Company, Inc. under the laws of the State of Utah and, effective November 24, 1997, after a series of interim name changes, changed its name to Private Media Group Inc. Effective June 12, 1998 the Company acquired Cine Craft Limited (“Cine Craft”), a Gibraltar corporation and Milcap Media Limited (“Milcap”), a Republic of Cyprus corporation. Prior to the acquisitions the Company was a holding company with no operations. Milcap and its subsidiaries and Cine Craft operate under common control and are engaged in the acquisition, refinement and distribution of video and photo rights for adult feature magazines and movies (videocassettes and DVD’s) through distributors and via the Internet. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby the Company was considered to be the acquiree even though legally it is the acquiror. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present the historical combined financial statements of Cine Craft and Milcap from January 1, 1998 through the acquisition date of June 12, 1998 and the consolidated financial statements of the Company, Cine Craft and Milcap since that date. Since the fair value of the net assets of the Company were equal to their net book values on June 12, 1998, the assets and liabilities of the Company remained at their historical cost following the acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company established two new wholly owned subsidiaries, one in Sweden (Peach Entertainment Distribution AB, “Peach”) and one in the Republic of Cyprus (Fraserside Holdings Ltd., “Fraserside”). These subsidiaries were formed to carry on the business of Milcap Publishing Group AB (Sweden) and Milcap (Cyprus), respectively.

Solely for the convenience of the reader, the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and for the twelve months then ended have been translated into United States dollars (“USD”) at the rate of EUR 0.72 per USD 1.00 the Exchange Rate of the European Central Bank on December 31, 2008. The translations should not be construed as a representation that the amounts shown could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at that or any other rate.
