The DVD Market

Distribution of DVDs represents our main source of revenues. We believe we set a high standard for DVDs in the adult entertainment industry, with each DVD released by us possessing five language options as well as four other subtitled languages. We believe that our multi-language DVD format provides a significant competitive advantage for us because it attracts consumers worldwide and expands our international marketing and sales potential. This global format allows us to reduce our overall unit production costs and increase profit margins. Currently, the majority of DVDs released by our competitors in the United States and worldwide are produced in only one language since they either license titles country-by-country or manufacture each title in separate languages, thus losing out on economies of scale, which further drives down our competitors’ profit margins.

Currently, mainstream movie titles are released on DVD in six Regional Codes or Zones. This is required primarily because producers often do not control the worldwide rights to their titles. Our DVDs are playable in any region, in every country in the world, because we own and control the global rights to everything we have produced. Our DVDs are also “Internet Activated,” which means that when a consumer plays the DVD in a personal computer, that person also gets a direct link to our websites, where they can view our content by purchasing a subscription or visit our extensive on-line shopping area. We also sometimes add `extras’ to our DVDs, including additional scenes and photos, interviews with the stars, biographical data on the actors, their roles in other in-house productions and publications.

The DVD Market

 

Distribution of DVDs represents one of our fastest growing markets. We believe we set a high standard for DVDs in the adult entertainment industry, with each DVD released by us possessing five language options as well as four other subtitled languages.
