Private Media Group (PRVT)

2003 compared to 2002

Net sales. Our net sales in 2003 were EUR 38.5 million compared to EUR 39.4 million in 2002, a decrease of EUR 0.9 million, or 2%. We attribute this change to a decrease in Video and Magazine, Internet and Broadcasting sales. Video and Magazine sales decreased 9% to EUR 12.5 million, primarily as a result of DVD taking over from video in the marketplace. Internet sales decreased 20% to EUR 4.8 million as a result of a weaker US dollar and lower license sales. Broadcasting sales decreased 31% to EUR 2.8 million as a result of a decrease in license sales. The reduction in Broadcasting license sales is a result of the Company’s strategy to start operating its own TV channels in the United States. The launch of the channels requires the Company to refrain from selling its broadcast rights to third parties for the period leading up to the launch. The decrease in Video and Magazine, Internet and Broadcasting sales was offset by a increase in DVD sales of 18% to EUR 18.3 million. We attribute the growth in sales of DVDs to the increasing number of DVD players being sold in all of our markets. We believe that the growth in DVD sales will continue through the remainder of 2004.

Net sales in general were affected by unfavorable changes in exchange rates. During the period the dollar weakened against the euro and since our sales in the United States are translated into euro this had a negative effect. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the euro and the dollar can affect the comparability of our results from year to year. We translate our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the euro into the euro for reporting purposes. Income statement amounts are translated into euros using the average exchange rate for the fiscal year. The change in average exchange rate for the fiscal year 2003 compared to 2002 was a decrease of 17%. The balance sheet is translated at the year-end exchange rate. Due to the significance of the results reported in dollars the impact of the euro/dollar exchange rate on our major categories of revenue and expense can be material.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales was EUR 19.1 million for 2003 compared to EUR 17.0 million for 2002, an increase of EUR 2.0 million, or 12%. The increase was the result of a combination of an increase in sales volume in areas generating cost of sales and unfavorable exchange rate changes. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 50% for 2003, an increase of 7% compared to 2002. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of sales mix, see Gross Profit.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for 2003 was EUR 19.4 million, or 50% of net sales, compared to EUR 22.4 million, or 57% of net sales for 2002. This represented a decrease of EUR 3.0 million, or 13%, compared to 2002. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was down 7% for 2003 compared to 2002. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of sales mix, with higher sales volume in products generating cost of sales, such as Videos, Magazines and DVDs combined, and lower sales in products not generating cost of sales, such as Internet and Broadcasting sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were EUR 19.7 million for 2003 compared to EUR 20.6 million for 2002, a decrease of EUR 0.9 million, or 4%. We attribute the decrease to an overall program started in 2003 where the objective is to review and reduce all controllable selling, general and administrative expenses in low or non-profitable areas, offset by our expansion in Canada through our new subsidiary Private Media Group Canada which became fully operational during the second half of the year. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses in low or non-profitable areas to continue to decrease in 2004.

Operating profit/loss. We reported an operating loss of EUR 0.5 million for 2003 compared to an operating profit of EUR 0.2 million for 2002, a decrease of EUR 0.7 million. Discounting non-recurring charges of EUR 1.6 million in offering expenses made in 2002, the decrease was EUR 2.4 million. The decrease was primarily the result of lower gross profit.

Interest expense. Our interest expense was EUR 0.8 million for 2003, compared to EUR 0.4 million for 2002.

Income tax expense/benefit. Our income tax benefit was EUR 0.5 million for 2003, compared to 0.1 million for 2002. The increase of EUR 0.4 million is primarily attributable to more of the Company’s losses being recorded in tax jurisdictions where there is a higher corporate tax than compared to other tax jurisdictions.

Net income/loss. Our net loss was EUR 0.6 million for 2003, compared to a net income of EUR 0.3 million for 2002. We attribute this change in net income in 2003 of EUR 0.9 million to decreased operating profit.
