Private Media Group Inc. Featured in June 14 Issue of Forbes Magazine 'No Company is Better Positioned to Take Advantage of This New (Internet) World Than Private Media Group,' Says Forbes June 3, 1999 08:02 AM BARCELONA, Spain, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Private Media Group Inc. PRVT , a leader in high-class adult entertainment products and services since 1965 and the first such company trading on the Nasdaq National Market, today announced that it is the subject of a major feature article in both the US and Global editions of the June 14, 1999 issue of Forbes magazine. "No company is better positioned to take advantage of this new (Internet) world than Private Media Group," says Richard C. Morais, Forbes European Bureau Chief. "Berth Milton, chief executive of Barcelona-based Private Media Group- with 25% net margins and a Nasdaq listing," reads caption identifying lead full-length photo of Mr. Milton. "He is turning his (adult entertainment) library into an Internet monster. "The feature article goes on to describe Private's 34-year catalog of adult entertainment as "the MGM archive of hard sex" and quotes Mr. Milton's aim" to exploit that archive digitally by charging Private's Internet customers a flat annual fee of $100 for access, plus $20 a month for a wide assortment of videos." Mr. Milton was further quoted as saying, "I can't see any problem in getting 2 million to 3 million people to pay $100 a year that's without all the extra spinoffs." [emphasis added] "We are extremely privileged to have been featured in the Forbes article which discusses the impact of the Internet on the adult entertainment business," said Mr. Milton, commenting on the Forbes feature article. "We expect our Internet sites, Private.com, Privatecinema.com, Privatelive.com, together with our 24-hour Home Shopping Broadcast Channel Privateinternetshop.com, and our round-the-clock full audio/video multicast broadcast Internet site, Privatelingerie.com to generate multi-million visitors and hits on a weekly basis." "Private Media Group Inc. commenced operations in 1965. Its primary business activities today include the acquisition, refinement and delivery of adult feature products, including unrated and adult feature magazines, videos, CD-Roms and DVDs; distribution and licensing of Private's proprietary products on the Internet, including magazines, videos, interactive services, adult novelty products and the Private Circle fashion line; and TV Home Shopping for Private's proprietary and licensed products.

>>"I can't see any problem in getting 2 million to 3 million people to pay $100 a year that's without all the extra spinoffs." Ok, let's call that $250 million in revenues. Right now they're getting about 16% in pro forma net margins (after an implied tax provision). Let's say that increases to 20% with all the revenue growth (though it seems it could go much higher). That gets us $50 million in after tax profits, or $5.68/share EPS. With a multiple of 25, that puts the stock at $142. I could live with that.
