Small Donation, Big Impact

People commonly underestimate the need for blood and the difference that even one donation can make to ensure blood is available when and where it's needed. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. The blood donation process only takes about one hour to complete. This small time commitment has a big impact since one donation could save the lives of up to three people.

To donate blood, individuals must meet the following general guidelines:

-- Be in good health -- Be at least 17 years old, and -- Weigh at least 110 pounds

"As much as 60 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood; unfortunately, only five percent of those eligible to donate blood actually do in any given year. The Neighbors Give Life Campaign is helping educate people about the regular and ongoing need for blood," said Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross. "Every blood donation can help make a difference for someone in need of blood."

LBI Media Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2004 Results

LBI Media Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2004 Results

2004 Net Revenues Increase 9% From 2003

BURBANK, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- LBI Media, Inc. (the "Company") announced its financial results today for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2004

For the year ended December 31, 2004, net revenues increased 9% to $91.4 million from $84.0 million in 2003. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our television production facility(1), net revenues increased 10% to $91.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $82.7 million during the same period last year. This revenue growth was attributable to our television segment which increased 25% in 2004 excluding the results relating the leasing of our television production facility. The increase in revenues from our television segment was offset by a modest decline in revenues from our radio division, primarily resulting from lower national advertising time sold in 2004 as compared to 2003 and strong results posted for 2003, when revenue growth from our radio segment reached 16%. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, noncash employee compensation and offering costs associated with our anticipated initial public offering) increased 14% to $47.1 million in 2004 from $41.3 million for 2003. The increase in operating expenses can be primarily attributed to the incremental costs associated with operating our recently acquired television station, KMPX-TV, in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, the incremental costs associated with producing additional in-house television programming for prime time and additional sales salaries and commissions associated with the growth in our revenue. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased 4% to $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $42.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our production facility, Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to $44.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $41.7 million for the same period last year.

The Company reported net income of $13.0 million for the year ended December 31 2004, compared to $16.7 million last year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in noncash employee compensation and depreciation expense and a charge of $1.5 million related to offering costs for our anticipated initial public offering during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Television division net revenues increased 21% to $46.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, from $38.4 million in 2003. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our television production facility, television net revenues increased 25% to $46.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $37.1 million for during the same period last year. This increase can be attributed to revenue growth in our California and Texas markets, resulting from improved program ratings, which enabled us to raise advertising rates and increase advertising time sold. Incremental revenues from our Dallas-Fort Worth station, KMPX-TV, acquired in January 2004 also contributed to revenue growth. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, noncash employee compensation and offering costs associated with our anticipated initial public offering) increased 30% to $25.5 million in 2004, from $19.6 million for 2003. The increase in operating expenses can be primarily attributed to the incremental costs associated with operating our recently acquired television station, KMPX-TV, in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, the incremental costs associated with producing additional in-house television programming for prime time, additional sales salaries and commissions associated with the growth in our revenue base and higher music license and ratings service fees. Operating income increased 4% to $17.4 million for 2004 from $16.7 million in 2003. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $21.2 million for 2004 from $18.8 million in 2003. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our production facility, Adjusted EBITDA increased 19% to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $17.8 million during the same period last year.

Radio division net revenues decreased 2% to $44.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $45.6 million during the same period last year. The decline in revenues can be primarily attributed to a decrease in demand for Spanish-language advertising by national advertisers and strong results posted during the year ended December 31, 2003, when revenue growth for our radio segment reached 16%. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, noncash employee compensation and offering costs associated with our anticipated initial public offering) remained virtually flat between the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Operating income decreased 14% to $17.4 million for 2004 from $20.3 million in 2003. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3% to $23.2 million for 2004 from $23.9 million in 2003.

Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2004

For the quarter ended December 31, 2004, net revenues increased 4% to $23.1 million from $22.1 million for the same quarter last year. This increase can be attributed to revenue growth from both our television and radio segments including incremental revenue from our most recently acquired television station in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas market. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our television production facility, net revenues increased 6% to $23.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $21.8 million for the same period last year. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, noncash employee compensation and offering costs related to our anticipated initial public offering) increased 6% to $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 versus $12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. This growth in operating expenses can be primarily attributed to the incremental costs associated with operating our recently acquired television station, KMPX-TV, in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, the incremental costs associated with producing additional in-house television programming for prime time, and additional sales salaries and commissions associated with the growth in our revenue base. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% to $10.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $10.1 million for the corresponding period last year. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our production facility, Adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $10.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $9.9 million during the same period last year.

The Company recognized net income of $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million increase in interest expense and depreciation expense and $1.5 million of costs related to our anticipated initial public offering offset by a $0.3 million decrease in noncash deferred compensation during the quarter.

Television division net revenues increased 4% to $11.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $10.6 million for the same period in 2003. This increase can be primarily attributed to incremental revenue growth from our recently acquired television station, KMPX-TV, in the Dallas-Forth Worth market. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our television production facility, television net revenues increased 8% to $11.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $10.3 million for the same period last year. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, noncash employee compensation and offering costs related to our anticipated initial public offering) increased 13% to $6.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $6.0 million for the same period last year. This growth in operating expenses can be primarily attributed to the incremental costs associated with our recently acquired television station, KMPX-TV, in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, the additional expenses associated with our new internally produced prime time television programming, and an increase in sales salaries and commissions associated with our revenue growth. Operating income was down 31% to $2.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $4.1 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $4.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $4.7 million for the same quarter last year. Excluding the results relating to the leasing of our production facility, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4% to $4.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $4.5 million for the same period last year.

Radio division net revenues increased 4% to $12.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $11.5 million for the same quarter last year. The increase in revenue can be primarily attributed to an improvement in national net revenues and an increase in inventory sold. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, noncash employee compensation and offering costs related to our anticipated initial public offering) decreased 3% to $5.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $6.1 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in operating expenses can be primarily attributed to a decrease in promotional and administrative expenses. Operating income increased 3% to $4.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $4.3 million for the same quarter of 2003. Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $6.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $5.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2003.

Commenting on the Company's results, Lenard Liberman, Executive Vice President, said, "Overall, I am very pleased with our results in 2004 and am very enthusiastic about the prospects for both our television and radio operations. Our 10% revenue growth overall and 26% revenue growth from our television segment, excluding the results relating to the leasing of our production facility, is quite impressive given the overall performance in our industry. Our revenue growth from television continues to demonstrate our ability to market our internally produced programming. In addition, our radio revenue growth snapped back in the fourth quarter after being down for the first nine months of the year."

Recent Developments

On December 11, 2004, the Company increased the borrowing capacity under its revolving senior credit facility to $220.0 million from $195.0 million.

Forward Looking Statements

This news announcement contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws. These statements are based upon current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties, including those related to the expected future operating performance of the Company's radio stations, television stations and studio operations. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to information preceded by, or that include the words, "believes," "expects," "prospects," "pacings," "anticipates," "could," "estimates," "forecasts" or similar expressions. The reader should note that these statements may be impacted by several factors, including economic changes, regulatory changes, increased competition, the timing of announced acquisitions or station upgrades, changes in the broadcasting industry generally, and changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the Company's actual performance and results may differ from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Please see LBI Media, Inc.'s recent public filings for information about these and other risks that may affect the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the information contained herein because of new information, future events or otherwise.

(1) The Company excluded results relating to the leasing of its production facility, because it has increased the use of this facility for the production of in-house programming, thereby reducing available leasing space. The Company expects to continue using space in its production facility primarily to produce its internal programs and therefore expects future leasing revenues to be minimal. As a result, the Company believes that in order to provide a comparable basis for evaluating its results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003, it is necessary to exclude net revenues and operating expenses generated from leasing this facility. This measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, such as revenues and operating income.

(2) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus income tax expense, (loss) gain on sale of property and equipment, net interest expense, depreciation and noncash employee compensation. Management considers this measure an important indicator of our liquidity relating to our operations because it eliminates the effects of certain noncash items and our capital structure. This measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from those of many companies reporting similarly named measures.

Bollywood's Biggest Blockbuster - Mughal-E-Azam - Restored in Full Color Debuts in U.S. Theaters April 1

Bollywood's Biggest Blockbuster - Mughal-E-Azam - Restored in Full Color Debuts in U.S. Theaters April 1

Opening in NY, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Orlando, LA, San Francisco, D.C., Toronto and More!

NEW YORK, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Bollywood films are taking America by storm -- but the one that started it all 45 years ago is back and better than ever. MUGHAL-E-AZAM (The Great Mughal) -- the Biggest Indian Film Ever -- has been beautifully restored in color and opens today on 35 screens across the U.S., with a wider release to an additional 30 screens on April 15th.

On Wednesday night, over 150 fans joined who's who in the South Asian film community for the New York premiere of Mughal-E-Azam at the ImaginAsian theater in New York. This epic love story comes to life in radiant color and digital 6.1 sound, making history as the first time a colorized vintage film has been released theatrically.

"This film is known throughout Indian Cinema as one of the greatest films," said Rohi Mirza Pandya, ImaginAsian Director, Theater Operations & Acquisitions. "It is amongst Hollywood greats such as Benhur and Gone with the Wind. And finally the film can be seen as the original filmmakers always intended it -- in true color and a new wide-screen format." The film was fully restored at a cost of more than $1 million, over the course of two years, using customized Indian colorization technology -- all under the careful direction of the film's original producers, Sterling Investments.

The most expensive Indian film, then or now, was nine years in the making (1951-1960). In 1957, color technology arrived in India. Director K. Asif shot one reel in color. Impressed with the results, he wanted to re-shoot the whole film but was restrained by time concerns. The film was released in 1960 in 85 percent black-and-white and 15 percent color.

"It was terrific, an outstanding restoration job. I e-mailed 25 friends last night and told them the film was incredible. Every song is worth a million dollars," said Rakesh Bhargava, at the New York premiere.

Sridhar Sreekakula, President of UTV, the film's distributor, says, "When we were young, our parents used to tell us that it was the best movie of that time. Watching it in color on the big screen was a great moment in cinema history."

The film is being released on 65 screens nationwide throughout April by UTV (www.utvnet.com), including: New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, Los Angeles, San Francisco, D.C. Area (Maryland and Virginia), Tempe, San Francisco Area, San Jose, San Diego Area, Seattle Area, Indianapolis, Cary North Carolina, plus Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.

Private Media Group Comments on Full Year Results for 2004

Private Media Group Comments on Full Year Results for 2004

Net Income Up 0.8 Million euro in 2004, Hit by One-Off Restructuring Costs in Q4

BARCELONA, Spain, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Private Media Group Inc. (NASDAQ:PRVT) a worldwide leader in premium-quality adult entertainment products, services and Internet content, today announced its full year results for 2004.

The company reported a decrease in sales of 7% to 35.6 million euro for 2004. Net income was 0.2 million euro for 2004, compared to a net loss of 0.6 million euro for 2003, an increase of 0.8 million euro. Net income suffered from the effects of the reorganization of the Company's US distribution in the fourth quarter and a significant fall in video sales. In addition management took the decision to write down videocassette inventory by 1.5 million in the fourth quarter.

As part of the group-wide review initiated in 2003, the Company's US subsidiary outsourced its distribution of physical products, inclusive of Internet shop fulfillment, to a third party. The restructuring started September 30, 2004 and the impact has initially been a temporary loss of revenues from the US during the fourth quarter transition period. The loss of revenues had a significant impact on gross profit. However, during the first quarter of 2005 distribution reached normal levels and we expect the impact of the restructuring to increase contribution of gross profit from the US and reduce selling, general and administrative expenses by approx. 1.0 million euro in 2005 compared to 2004.

The decrease in Video sales by 70% to 2.1 million euro, was primarily the result of a combination of an industry-wide decrease in Video sales and 40% less titles being released by the Company as a result of fewer new movie productions available for sale on Video in 2004 compared to 2003.

DVD sales, which increased 6%, to 19.5 million euro, were also affected by the US reorganization and the reduction in new movie productions available for sale. However, the Company managed to offset the negative effect from fewer new titles by opening additional distribution channels, thereby increasing DVD sales on a per title basis. Magazine sales decreased 4% to 5.1 million euro, while Internet sales increased 1% to 4.9 million euro. Broadcasting sales increased 41% to 4.0 million euro spearheaded by the broadcasting launch of our own TV channel PRIVATE FANTASY in the United States in February 2004.

In 2003 and the first half of 2004, investment in new movie productions was cut back due to reduced cash-flow as a result of overspending in 2002 and 2003. Improvements in cash-flow during 2004 have allowed the Company to increase its investment activity in its movie library by more than 70% during the second half of the year compared to the first and the impact on sales is expected to show in the first half of 2005.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was down 1% for 2004 compared to 2003. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was the result of a 1.5 million euro write-down of videocassette inventory made in the fourth quarter and detailed above to reflect the change in market conditions for videocassettes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 18.0 million euro for 2004 compared to 19.9 million euro for 2003. Despite increases in bad debt provision and depreciation of 0.9 million euro and 0.9 million euro, respectively, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.9 million euro, or 10%. The increased bad debt expense in 2004 related primarily to one specific receivable which was written off completely as collection attempts failed. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects the effect of a program started in 2003 to review and reduce all controllable selling, general and administrative expenses in low or non-profitable areas. We expect lower bad debt expenses and reduced depreciation going forward. We also expect selling, general and administrative expenses in low or non-profitable areas to continue to decrease in 2005.

We reported an operating loss of 0.4 million euro for 2004 compared to an operating loss of 0.5 million euro for 2003. The operating loss was primarily the result of the write down of 1.5 million euro in videocassette inventory.

During 2004 the Company reduced its debt by 4.0 million euro, or 29%. Working capital as of December 31, 2004 increased by 4.9 million euro compared to December 31, 2003.

Berth Milton, President and CEO of Private Media Group, said: "We are pleased with the restructuring of our operations, particularly in the US, and we expect our increased investments in the library as from the second half of 2004 to begin paying off in the first half of 2005.

"In 2004 we also signed an exclusive Agreement with US-based Pure Play Media, Inc. for content distribution in Europe. Under the agreement, we will distribute between six to ten newly produced movie titles per month in Europe, our main market for DVDs. The arrangement is based on a split of gross profit and does not require any up-front or future investment in content by Private. We will start releasing titles on DVD under the agreement in the second quarter of 2005.

"Following the launch of the Private Fantasy Pay-Per-View Channel in the US, and as the US market for Video on Demand services evolves, we expect to further exploit our content in this market which should impact on broadcast revenue.

"Looking forward, this year saw the launch of our own TV channel, PRIVATETV, an internet based proprietary 24/7 adult TV offer, that thanks to the latest technological developments means that content providers such as ourselves are now able to close deals at fair margins with a much wider spectrum of delivery networks while providing a unique and totally 'Private' consumer experience.

"All in all, I am confident that we can look forward to substantially improved results this year thanks to increased revenues from DVDs, Internet and broadcasting, coupled with better margins and reductions in SG&A," Mr. Milton concluded.

Year-end 2004 Financial Highlights (In thousands of euro, except per share amounts) Year ended December 31, 2004 2003 Revenue 35,612 38,491 Net Income (loss) 238 (570) Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding: Basic 50,136,203 43,493,163 Diluted 52,377,163 n/a Net income per common and common equivalent share: Basic 0.00 (0.02) Diluted 0.00 (0.02)

Buena Vista Moves Release Date for Touchstone Pictures' 'Dark Water' Up One Month to July 8th

Buena Vista Moves Release Date for Touchstone Pictures' 'Dark Water' Up One Month to July 8th

LOS ANGELES, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Touchstone Pictures' chilling new psychological thriller, "Dark Water," will now open on July 8th, one month ahead of its previously scheduled release date, it was announced today (March 31) by Chuck Viane, president of Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. The film, starring Academy Award(R)-winning actress Jennifer Connelly, and helmed by acclaimed director Walter Salles ("The Motorcycle Diaries"), is produced by Bill Mechanic, Roy Lee, and Doug Davison. Based on a film by the creators of the Japanese version of "The Ring," "Dark Water" also stars Oscar(R) nominees John C. Reilly, Tim Roth, and Pete Postelthwaite, along with Dougray Scott, and Camryn Manheim. Rafael Yglesias wrote the screenplay. Angelo Badalamenti ("Mulholland Drive," "A Very Long Engagement") composed the score.

Commenting on the announcement, Viane said, "After viewing a recent cut of 'Dark Water,' we were completely blown away by this amazing and powerful film. We felt that it had tremendous across-the-board appeal, and every potential to become one of the big summer films. A July release date seemed like the ideal time to reach the widest possible audience. This film stands apart from the competition, and Jennifer Connelly gives a terrific performance. It has an engaging and intelligent script, great direction, and performances that set it apart from most other films in this genre. Summer moviegoers from teens to adults are going to love 'Dark Water' and July 8th is the perfect playdate."

Directed by acclaimed director Walter Salles, "Dark Water" is a psychological thriller about a young mother who goes to extreme lengths to solve a mystery and protect her daughter. Dahlia Williams (Jennifer Connelly) is starting a new life; newly separated with a new job and a new apartment. She's determined to put her relationship with her estranged husband behind her and devote herself to raising her daughter, Ceci. But when the strained separation disintegrates into a bitter custody battle, her situation takes a turn for the worse. Her new apartment -- dilapidated, cramped, and worn -- seems to take on a life of its own. Mysterious noises, persistent leaks of dark water, and strange happenings cause her imagination to run wild, sending her on a puzzling and mystifying pursuit to find out who is behind the endless mind games. As Dahlia frantically searches for the links between the riddles, the dark water seems to close in around her. But one thing trumps all others in Dahlia's world: no matter what it is that's out there, she'll stop at nothing to find it.

TORONTO, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX) today announced that the newly opened IMAX(R) theatre in Amsterdam, operated by Pathe Netherlands, the leading commercial exhibitor in The Netherlands, posted impressive box office performance in its first week of operation. The theatre has the top-performing screen in the country for Twentieth Century Fox's Robots, surpassing the second highest grossing screen by approximately 43 per cent. Robots: The IMAX Experience has been converted into IMAX's format with proprietary IMAX DMR(R) (Digital Re-mastering) technology, and during Pathe Netherlands' opening week, its single IMAX theatre grossed approximately 8.6 per cent of the total box office receipts for the film in The Netherlands.

"We are very encouraged by the early performance of our new IMAX theatre and impressed by the great consumer response to The IMAX Experience(R)," said Lauge Nielsen, Managing Director of Pathe Netherlands. "The new IMAX theatre has considerably increased attendance at our Amsterdam multiplex this past week, with moviegoers happy and willing to pay an extra four dollars to experience Robots in IMAX's format. We look forward to the weeks ahead and offering audiences future digitally re-mastered IMAX releases."

The Pathe ArenA IMAX theatre features IMAX(R) MPX(TM) technology, which was specifically designed to make it easier and more cost effective for commercial exhibitors to enter the IMAX business. The retrofitted IMAX theatre opened to the public on March 24th, a mere seven weeks after the agreement was signed. Preliminary exit poll research shows that audiences are very satisfied with the high quality of The IMAX Experience and perceive it as an added value. Additionally, more than 73 per cent of those surveyed indicated they came to the Pathe ArenA multiplex especially to visit the IMAX theatre.

Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "Moviegoers around the world are turning out in large numbers to experience blockbuster movies in IMAX's format, which is driving incremental revenues for both Hollywood studios and IMAX theatre operators. The Pathe ArenA IMAX theatre is one of our most important locations in Europe, and we believe its strong opening bodes well for further development of the commercial IMAX theatre network on the continent."

Robots: The IMAX Experience has posted solid box office returns and been well received by moviegoers since being released in the United States on March 11th. The film has now grossed more than $4.3 million in 58 North American IMAX theatres, for a cumulative per screen average of nearly $75,000.
