This excerpt taken from the PRVT 10-Q filed May 15, 2009. Item 4T. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods.

required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys management evaluated, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2009. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION This excerpt taken from the PRVT 10-K filed Mar 31, 2006. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES In connection with the preparation of the Companys 2005 annual financial statements, management of the Company identified a design problem in the Companys warehouse management information system and advised the Audit Committee and the Companys Board of Directors on March 21, 2006 that the previously issued 2004 financial statements require restatement to adjust the carrying value of inventory of DVDs by Euro 1,118 thousand. The Companys Chief Financial Officer also discussed the matter with the Companys independent accountants. Both the Audit Committee and the Companys Board of Directors agreed on March 21, 2006 to follow the advice of management to restate the 2004 financial statements, and on March 24, 2006, the Company filed a report on Form 8-K disclosing this matter and advising that the previously issued 2004 financial statements should no longer be relied upon. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on the impact of the restatement. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys management evaluated, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to material weaknesses in the design of the Companys warehouse management information systems , the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report. The Company has remediated the material weakness in the ineffectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures relating to warehouse management information systems by re-designing the access to certain areas of the system. There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. At the end of fiscal 2006, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will most likely require the Companys management to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, and the Companys independent registered public accounting firm will be required to audit managements assessment. The Company is in the process of performing the system and process documentation, evaluation and testing required for management to make this assessment and for its independent registered public accountants to provide its attestation report. The Company has not completed this process or its assessment, and this process will require significant amounts of management time and resources. In the course of evaluation and testing, management may identify deficiencies that will need to be addressed and remediated. This excerpt taken from the PRVT 10-K filed Mar 31, 2005. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
