Munich, August 20, 2003 - In the first six months of fiscal year 2003, Advanced Medien AG (ISIN DE-0005093009) recorded revenues of EUR 0.8 million. This compares to revenues of EUR 11.0 million for the same period last year. The strong decline in revenues results from lower revenues recorded by the company's operating subsidiary U.F.O. Unified Film Organization LLC. in the first quarter and from the fact that U.F.O.'s figures for the second quarter could not be included in the interim financial statements of Advanced Medien. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) according to IAS in the second quarter were EUR 0.3 million (previous year: EUR 3.8 million). This results in a negative EBITDA of minus EUR 0.2 million for the first six months of 2003 as compared to an EBITDA of EUR 8.3 million for the same period last year. Amortization of film assets amounted to EUR 1.9 million (2002: EUR 10.3 million). As a result, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) according to IAS for the first six months were negative at minus EUR 2.2 million (previous year: minus EUR 2.3 million). In the second quarter alone, the EBIT was minus EUR 0.3 million as compared to minus EUR 1.3 million for the same period last year. The net loss for the second quarter of 2003 amounted to EUR 0.5 million, compared to a net loss of EUR 2.0 million for the same period last year. As a result, the net loss in the first six months was reduced further to EUR 2.6 million. This compares to a net loss of EUR 3.3 million for the first six months of 2002. As of June 30, 2003, the loss per share was EUR 0.15 as compared to a loss per share of EUR 0.19 for the same period last year. The detailed interim report on the first six months of 2003 will be available for download at www.advanced-medien.de from August 29, 2003.
