PRVT

The story here is simple. Sex sells. PRVT has been expanding their business relationships and business model to exploit new opportunities. The Company reorganized its operations and outsourced the distribution of physical products to third
parties. This strategy has already produced a positive impact on sales while eliminating overheads and increasing margins.

From their just filed earnings report:

<Berth Milton, President and CEO, said, "As Q3 figures demonstrate, I am pleased to see that our efforts made in Internet and broadcasting sales are
paying off. Also, the improvement in operating profit of EUR 1.8 million in
the third quarter and EUR 3.2 million for the nine months again confirms the
successful implementation of the operational restructuring started in the end
of 2003 targeted at strengthening core businesses while reducing selling,
general and administrative expenses."
Mr. Milton continued, "Going forward, into 2005 and beyond, we expect
overall sales to increase, in particular in Internet and broadcasting, but
also in DVDs as a result of our new European distribution agreement with Pure
Play Media announced in Q3 and our new strategy for North-America. I also have
great expectations for our sales of the Private Stars program format for
television which has received great interest and attention from both media and
television networks.">

Currently selling just under $3. The chart indicates a break above the prior trading range with little overhead resistance, offering an excellent entry point.
