Advanced Medien reports results for the first quarter of 2003
Munich, May 13, 2003 - Advanced Medien AG today announced revenues of EUR 0.60 million for the first quarter of 2003, down from EUR 5.85 million in Q1/2002. At EUR 0.24 million after EUR 5.53 million in the same period of last year, the subsidiary Unified Film Organization LLC., Los Angeles, reported a particularly significant decline in revenues. According to the latest information, this is due to a postponement of revenues in connection with the distribution of films produced for the media fund.

This led to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 0.06 million (Q1/2002: EUR 4.45 million). Depreciation and amortization declined from EUR 5.46 million to EUR 1.89 million. As a result, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were negative at minus EUR 1.83 million (Q1/2002: minus EUR 1.00 million).
