Croatia

We own 100.0% of Nova TV (Croatia), which holds a national terrestrial broadcast license for Croatia that expires in April 2010.

Czech Republic

We own 100.0% of CET 21, which holds the national terrestrial broadcast license for TV NOVA (Czech Republic) that expires in 2017.

Romania

On May 16, 2007, we acquired an additional 20.0% of Media Vision (a production, dubbing and subtitling company) and subsequently on June 1, 2007, we acquired an additional 5.0% of Pro TV and MPI from companies owned by, or individuals associated with, Adrian Sarbu, the general director of our Romanian operations and our Regional Director of Central and Eastern Europe operations, for aggregate consideration of US$ 51.6 million including acquisition costs. Following these transactions, we have a 95.0% interest in each of Pro TV, MPI and Media Vision.  Pro TV holds the licenses for the PRO TV, ACASA, PRO TV INTERNATIONAL, PRO CINEMA and SPORT.RO channels. These licenses expire on various dates between August 2007 and February 2016.
 
As at June 30, 2007 we held 10.0% in each of Media Pro BV and Media Pro Management S.A., the parent companies of the Media Pro group of companies (“Media Pro”). Subsequent to June 30, 2007 our holding now represents 8.7% in these entities due to a capital increase in which we did not participate. Substantially all of the remaining shares of Media Pro are owned directly or indirectly by Adrian Sarbu. Media Pro comprises a number of companies with operations in the fields of publishing, information, printing, cinema, entertainment and radio in Romania.
 
Slovak Republic

As at June 30, 2007 we owned 80.0% of Markiza, which holds a national terrestrial broadcast license for the Slovak Republic that expires in September 2019. On July 13, 2007, we acquired the remaining 20.0% of Markiza for SKK 1.9 billion (approximately US$ 78.8 million at the date of acquisition). As a result, we own 100.0% of Markiza.

Slovenia

We own 100.0% of Pro Plus, the operating company for our Slovenia operations.  Pro Plus has a 100.0% voting and economic interest in each of Pop TV, which holds the licenses for the POP TV network, and Kanal A, which holds the licenses for the KANAL A network.  All such licenses expire in August 2012.

Ukraine (Studio 1+1)

The Studio 1+1 Group is comprised of several entities in which we hold direct or indirect interests.  We hold a 60.0% ownership and economic interest in each of Innova, IMS and TV Media Planet.  Innova owns 100% of Inter-Media, a Ukrainian company, which in turn holds a 30.0% voting and economic interest in Studio 1+1, holder of the licenses for the STUDIO 1+1 channel.  The license which covers fifteen hours including prime time expires in December 2016.  The second license for the remaining nine hours expires in 2014.

Our indirect ownership interest in Studio 1+1 is only 18.0%.  We entered into an additional agreement on December 30, 2004 with Boris Fuchsmann, Alexander Rodnyansky and Studio 1+1 which re-affirms our entitlement to 60.0% of any distribution from Studio 1+1 to its shareholders until such time as Ukrainian legislation allows us to increase our ownership interest in Studio 1+1 to 60.0%.  Following amendments to the Ukrainian Media Law in March 2006 that permit majority indirect foreign ownership, our partners entered into agreements with us to restructure the ownership of Studio 1+1 in order to permit CME to hold a 60.0% interest in Studio 1+1 (see Note 18).

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2006.  Our significant accounting policies have not changed since December 31, 2006, except as noted below.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. and our subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.  We consolidate the financial statements of entities in which we hold at least a majority voting interest and also those entities which are deemed to be a Variable Interest Entity of which we are the primary beneficiary as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” ("FIN 46(R)").  Entities in which we hold less than a majority voting interest but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method.  Other investments are accounted for using the cost method.

We, like other television operators, experience seasonality, with advertising sales tending to be lower during the first and third quarters of each calendar year, particularly during the summer holiday period (typically July and August) and higher during the second and fourth quarters of each calendar year, particularly toward the end of the year.

The terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” are used in this Form 10-Q to refer collectively to the parent company and the subsidiaries through which our various businesses are actually conducted.

Unless otherwise noted, all statistical and financial information presented in this report has been converted into US dollars using appropriate exchange rates.  All references to “US$” or “dollars” are to US dollars, all references to “HRK” are to Croatian kuna, all references to “CZK” are to Czech korunas, all references to “RON” are to the New Romanian lei, all references to “SKK” are to Slovak korunas, all references to “UAH” are to Ukrainian hryvna, all references to “Euro” or “EUR” are to the European Union Euro and all references to “GBP” are to British pounds.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method as set out in FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”).  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be realized.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  The evaluation of a tax position under FIN 48 is a two-step process.  The first step is recognition: Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return should be recognized only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.  In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold, it should be presumed that the position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority and that they would have full knowledge of all relevant information.  The second step is measurement: Tax positions that meet the recognition criteria are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a liability of approximately US$ 2.0 million for unrecognized tax benefits, of which US $1.7 million was accounted for as a reduction to retained deficit as at January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate amounts to US$ 2.0 million, all of which would reduce the effective tax rate accordingly.

We recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. As at January 1, 2007, we accrued US $1.8 million in respect of interest and penalties, of which US$1.5 million was accounted for as a reduction to retained deficit.

Our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the Netherlands and various other tax jurisdictions including the United States. As at January 1, 2007, analyzed by major tax jurisdictions, the Company’s subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”).  FAS 157 addresses the need for increased consistency in fair value measurements, defining fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements.  FAS 157 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2008.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FAS 157 on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159"). FAS 159 gives entities the option to prospectively measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in the balance sheet with changes in the fair value recognized in the income statement. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, although entities may elect to adopt the statement early. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations.

Restatement

Subsequent to the issuance of our financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2006 we initiated a voluntary review of our historical stock option granting practices for the period from 1994 to 2002. Our Audit Committee conducted the review with the assistance of independent legal counsel and an independent accounting firm. The Audit Committee found certain instances of administrative and procedural deficiencies that resulted in incorrect accounting measurement dates and other incorrect accounting, but found no evidence from which it could be concluded that the errors were the result of deliberate or intentional misconduct. These accounting errors resulted from grants made to grantees where the list of grantees and/or shares allocated to them were not sufficiently definitive for the grant to be deemed final as of the reported measurement date as well as from a small number of grants made to employees and non-employees that had been accounted for incorrectly. Errors were discovered in the accounting for grants made in the period between 1994 and 1998; we believe the impact of these instances to be immaterial for each prior year and they neither relate to nor have an impact on the current period.

However, we concluded that correcting the error in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 would be material; therefore, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 Section N to Topic 1 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, we restated our historical financial statements.

The restatement above had the impact on our previously presented financial information as set out below. All amounts are in US$ 000’s.

3.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

Romania

Acquisition of additional interest – Sport.ro

On December 14, 2006 we acquired 20.0% of Sport.ro from Silviu Prigoana for cash consideration of EUR 2.0 million (approximately US$ 2.6 million).  Sport.ro operated a sports-oriented channel focusing on local and international football, international boxing and a number of local Romanian sports.

On February 20, 2007 we acquired control of Sport.ro by acquiring an additional 50.0% interest from Nolsom Limited for cash consideration of EUR 4.2 million (approximately US$ 5.3 million).  We acquired the remaining 30.0% of Sport.ro, also from Nolsom Limited, on March 15, 2007 for cash consideration of EUR 2.5 million (approximately US$ 3.1 million).
 
We performed a fair value exercise to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities and identified separately identifiable assets.  The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Acquisition of additional interest – MPI and Pro TV

On May 16, 2007, we acquired an additional 20.0% of Media Vision and subsequently on June 1, 2007 we acquired an additional 5.0% of Pro TV and MPI from companies owned by, or individuals associated with, Adrian Sarbu, for aggregate consideration of US$ 51.6 million including acquisition costs. The purchase price was based upon an independent valuation report.  We now own a 95.0% voting and economic interests in Pro TV, MPI and Media Vision.  We performed a fair value exercise to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities, and identified separately identifiable assets.  The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

(2) Intangible assets not subject to amortization comprise approximately US$ 9.2 million in trademarks and US$ 14.4 million relating to television broadcast licenses.
 

Mr. Sarbu has the right to sell the remaining shareholding in Pro TV and MPI  that he holds personally to us under a put option agreement entered into in July 2004 at a price to be determined by an independent valuation, subject to a floor price of US$ 1.45 million for each 1.0% interest sold.  Mr. Sarbu’s right to put his remaining shareholding to us is exercisable from November 12, 2009, provided that we have not enforced a pledge over this shareholding which Mr. Sarbu granted as security for our right to put to him our shareholding in Media Pro. As at June 30, 2007, we consider the fair value of Mr. Sarbu’s put option to be approximately US$ nil.

Croatia

Internet Dnevnik

On June 6, 2007, we purchased 76.0% of Internet Dnevnik d.o.o from Zeljko Anderlon and Dario Markus for cash consideration of EUR 0.5 million (US$ 0.7 million). Internet Dnevnik d.o.o operates the largest blogging website in Croatia, Blog.hr.

Tor and Zhysa

On June 21, 2007, we completed the acquisition of a 60.4% interest in each of Tor and Zhysa from Dertus Finance Group Limited for total consideration of US$ 3.2 million including acquisition costs. Zhysa and Tor are regional broadcasters in Ukraine.

We have initiated a fair value exercise to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities. Upon completion of the fair value exercise, we expect the purchase price allocation to primarily include television broadcasting licenses and goodwill. The final allocation of the purchase price will be subject to adjustment following the completion of the fair value exercise.

On May 5, 2005, we issued Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 370.0 million consisting of EUR 245.0 million of 8.25% Senior Notes due May 2012 (the “Fixed Rate Notes”) and EUR 125.0 million of floating rate Senior Notes due May 2012 (the “2012 Floating Rate Notes”), which bore interest at six-month Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 5.50%.

On May 15, 2007 we redeemed the 2012 Floating Rate Notes. Upon redemption we recorded a loss of US$ 6.9 million within interest expense comprising US$ 3.4 million of redemption premium and US$ 3.5 million to write off unamortized debt costs.

On May 16, 2007 we issued floating rate senior notes due November 2014 (the “2014 Floating Rate Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 150.0 million, which bear interest at six-month EURIBOR plus 1.625% (5.80% was applicable at June 30, 2007).

Fixed Rate Notes

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15.  The fair value of the Fixed Rate Notes as at June 30, 2007 was calculated by multiplying the outstanding debt by the traded market price.

The Fixed Rate Notes are secured senior obligations and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries.  The amounts outstanding are guaranteed by two subsidiary holding companies and are secured by a pledge of shares of those subsidiaries as well as an assignment of certain contractual rights.  The terms of our indebtedness restrict the manner in which our business is conducted, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the making of investments, the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions, entering into certain affiliate transactions and the sale of assets.

In the event that (A) there is a change in control by which (i) any party other than our present shareholders becomes the beneficial owner of more than 35.0% of our total voting power; (ii) we agree to sell substantially all of our operating assets; or (iii) there is a change in the composition of a majority of our Board of Directors; and (B) on the 60th day following any such change of control the rating of the Fixed Rate Notes is either withdrawn or downgraded from the rating in effect prior to the announcement of such change of control, we can be required to repurchase the Fixed Rate Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.

The Fixed Rate Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth below:

At any time prior to May 15, 2008, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the Fixed Rate Notes with the proceeds of any public equity offering at a price of 108.250% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

In addition, prior to May 15, 2009, we may redeem all or a part of the Fixed Rate Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of such notes, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Certain derivative instruments, including redemption call options and change of control and asset disposition put options, have been identified as being embedded in the Fixed Rate Notes; but as they are considered clearly and closely related to those notes, they are not accounted for separately.

2014 Floating Rate Notes

Corporate

(a) On July 21, 2006, we entered into a five-year revolving loan agreement for EUR 100.0 million (approximately US$ 135.1 million) arranged by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “Loan”).  ING Bank N.V. (“ING”) and Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“CS”) are participating in the facility for EUR 50.0 million in aggregate.

The Loan bears interest at a rate of three-month EURIBOR plus 2.75% on the drawn amount.  The available amount of the Loan amortizes by 7.5% every six months from May 2008 to November 2009, then by 15% in May 2010 and November 2010, and by 40% in May 2011.

Covenants contained in the Loan are in line with those contained in our Senior Notes (see Note 5).  In addition, the Loan’s covenants restrict us from making principal repayments on other debt of greater than US$ 20.0 million per year for the life of the Loan.  This restriction is not applicable to our existing facilities with ING or CS or to any refinancing of our Senior Notes.

The Loan is a secured senior obligation and ranks pari passu with all existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Senior Notes, and is effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries.  The amount drawn is guaranteed by two subsidiary holding companies and is secured by a pledge of shares of those subsidiaries as well as an assignment of certain contractual rights.  The terms of the Loan restrict the manner in which our business is conducted, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the making of investments, the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions, entering into certain affiliate transactions and the sale of assets.

There were no drawings under this facility as at June 30, 2007; however, the full amount of EUR 100.0 million was drawn on April 18, 2007 and repaid on June 1, 2007.

Croatia

(b) On March 28, 2007, we repaid EUR 0.6 million (approximately US$ 0.8 million) which  was the total amount outstanding to our Croatia operations under two loan agreements with Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank d.d. Following repayment of this loan, the security held by the bank was released.

Czech Republic
 
(c) As at June 30, 2007, there were no drawings by CET 21 under a four-year credit facility of CZK 1.2 billion (approximately US$ 56.4 million) available until October 31, 2009 with Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“CS”).  This facility may, at the option of CET 21, be drawn in CZK, US$ or EUR and bears interest at the three-month, six-month or twelve-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), EURIBOR or Prague Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“PRIBOR”) rate plus 1.95%.  This facility is secured by a pledge of receivables, which are also subject to a factoring arrangement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s., a subsidiary of CS. On July 10, 2007, CZK 860.0 million (approximately US$ 40.4 million) was drawn down under this facility and on July 31, 2007, CZK 260.0 million (approximately US$ 12.7 million) was repaid.
 
(d) CZK 250.0 million (approximately US$ 11.8 million), the full amount of the facility, had been drawn by CET 21 under a working capital facility agreement with CS with a maturity date of April 30, 2008 and bearing interest at the three-month PRIBOR plus 1.65% (three-month PRIBOR relevant to drawings under this facility at June 30, 2007 was 3.00%). This facility is secured by a pledge of receivables, which are also subject to a factoring arrangement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s.

(e) As at June 30, 2007, there were no drawings under a CZK 300.0 million (approximately US$ 14.1 million) factoring facility with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. available until March 31, 2010.  The facility bears interest at one-month PRIBOR plus 1.40% for the period that actively assigned accounts receivable are outstanding.

Romania
 
(f) As at June 30, 2007, an amount of RON 97 thousand (approximately US$ 40 thousand) was outstanding under a loan agreement from one of the founding shareholders of Sport.ro. The loan is interest free and is repayable in equal monthly instalments by August 31, 2007.
 
Slovenia
 
(g) On July 29, 2005, Pro Plus entered into a revolving facility agreement for up to EUR 37.5 million (approximately US$ 50.6 million) in aggregate principal amount with ING Bank N.V., Nova Ljubljanska Banka d.d., Ljubljana and Bank Austria Creditanstalt d.d., Ljubljana.  The facility amortizes by 10.0% each year for four years commencing one year after signing, with 60.0% repayable after five years.  This facility is secured by a pledge of the bank accounts of Pro Plus, the assignment of certain receivables, a pledge of our interest in Pro Plus and a guarantee of our wholly-owned subsidiary CME Media Enterprises B.V.  Loans drawn under this facility will bear interest at a rate of EURIBOR for the period of drawing plus a margin of between 2.1% and 3.6% that varies according to the ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated broadcasting cash flow for Pro Plus.  As at June 30, 2007, EUR 33.8 million (approximately US$ 45.6 million) was available for drawing under this revolving facility and there were no drawings outstanding.

12.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On April 27, 2006, we entered into currency swap agreements with two counterparties whereby we swapped a fixed annual coupon interest rate (of 9.0%) on notional principal of CZK 10.7 billion (approximately US$ 503.3 million), payable on July 15, October 15, January 15, and April 15, to the termination date of April 15, 2012, for a fixed annual coupon interest rate (of 9.0%) on notional principal of EUR 375.9 million (approximately US$ 507.6 million) receivable on July 15, October 15, January 15, and April 15, to the termination date of April 15, 2012.

The fair value of these financial instruments as at June 30, 2007 was a US$ 0.5 million liability.

These currency swap agreements reduce our exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates on a part of the CZK-denominated cash flows generated by our Czech Republic operations that is approximately equivalent in value to the Euro-denominated interest payments on our Senior Notes (see Note 5). They are financial instruments that are used to minimize currency risk and are considered an economic hedge of foreign exchange rates.  These instruments have not been designated as hedging instruments as defined under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and so changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and in the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities.

The exercise price of the granted options ranges from US$ 87.91 to US$ 94.28 per share.  The fair value of the option grants was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions used:

 
 
 
Date of Option Grant
 
Number of Options Granted
   
Risk-free interest rate (%)
   
Expected term (years)
   
Expected volatility (%)
   
Dividend yield (%)

The expected stock price volatility was calculated based on an analysis of the historical stock price volatility of our shares and its peers for the preceding 6.25 or 3.00-year period.  We consider this basis to represent the best indicator of expected volatility over the life of the option.  The expected dividend yield for these grants was assumed to be 0%.  The weighted average fair value of all the grants made in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 was US$ 29.08 per option.  In accordance with SFAS 123(R), the fair value of the option grants made in the six months ended June 30, 2007 less expected forfeitures of US$ 1.5 million is being recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period of the award.

The exercise of stock options is expected to generate a net operating loss carryforward in our Delaware subsidiary of US$ 12.2 million. No tax benefit has been recognized in respect of this loss, which will be recorded as an addition to additional paid-in capital when it reduces income tax payable.

The aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the stock price on the last day of trading of the second quarter of 2007 and the exercise prices multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) represents the total intrinsic value that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of June 30, 2007.  This amount changes based on the fair value of our Common Stock.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, was US$ 15.6 million and US$ 4.0 million, respectively.  As of June 30, 2007, there was US$ 10.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to options.  The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.  Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options was US$ 2.7 million and US$ 1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

16.  SEGMENT DATA

We manage our business on a geographic basis and review the performance of each business segment using data that reflects 100% of operating and license company results.  Our business segments are comprised of Croatia, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and our two businesses in Ukraine.

We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on Segment Net Revenues and Segment EBITDA.  Segment Net Revenues and Segment EBITDA include our operations in the Slovak Republic which were not consolidated prior to January 23, 2006.

Our key performance measure of the efficiency of our business segments is EBITDA margin.  We define Segment EBITDA margin as the ratio of Segment EBITDA to Segment Net Revenue.

Segment EBITDA is determined as segment net income / (loss), which includes program rights amortization costs, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.  Items that are not allocated to our business segments for purposes of evaluating their performance and therefore are not included in Segment EBITDA, include:
 
·
expenses presented as corporate operating costs in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income;
·
stock-based compensation charges;
·
foreign currency exchange gains and losses;
·
changes in fair value of derivatives; and
·
certain unusual or infrequent items (e.g., extraordinary gains and losses, impairments on assets or investments).

On May 19, 2003, we received US$ 358.6 million from the Czech Republic in final settlement of our UNCITRAL arbitration in respect of our former operations in the Czech Republic.

On June 19, 2003, our Board of Directors decided to withdraw from operations in the Czech Republic. The revenues and expenses of our former Czech Republic operations and the award income and related legal expenses have therefore all been accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On February 9, 2004, we entered into an agreement with the Dutch tax authorities to settle all tax liabilities outstanding for the years up to and including 2003, including receipts in respect of our 2003 award in the arbitration against the Czech Republic, for a payment of US$ 9.0 million.  We expected to continue to pay tax in the Netherlands of between US$ 1.0 and US$ 2.5 million for the foreseeable future and therefore agreed to a minimum payment of US$ 2.0 million per year for the years 2004 - 2008 and US$ 1.0 million for 2009.

We have re-evaluated our forecasts of the amount of taxable income we expect to earn in the Netherlands in the period to 2009.  As the tax payable on this income is lower than the minimum amounts agreed with the Dutch tax authorities, we have provided for the shortfall.  In our condensed consolidated statement of operations, we recognized a charge of US$ nil (credit of US$ 1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006), and a charge of US$ nil (charge of US$ 2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006) through discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

The settlement with the Dutch tax authorities also provides that if any decision is issued at any time prior to December 31, 2008 exempting awards under Bilateral Investment Treaties from taxation in the Netherlands, we will be allowed to recover losses previously used against the 2003 arbitration award, which could be up to US$ 195.0 million, to offset other income within the applicable carry forward rules. This would not reduce the minimum amount of tax agreed payable under the settlement agreement.  At this time there is no indication that the Dutch tax authorities will issue such a decision.

The settlement with the Dutch tax authorities has also resulted in a deductible temporary difference in the form of a ruling deficit against which a full valuation allowance has been recorded.

c) Acquisition of Minority Shareholdings in Romania

Mr. Sarbu has the right to sell the remaining shareholding in Pro TV and MPI  that he holds personally to us under a put option agreement entered into in July 2004 at a price to be determined by an independent valuation, subject to a floor price of US$ 1.45 million for each 1.0% interest sold.  Mr. Sarbu’s right to put his remaining shareholding to us is exercisable from November 12, 2009, provided that we have not enforced a pledge over this shareholding which Mr. Sarbu granted as security for our right to put to him our shareholding in Media Pro. As at June 30, 2007, we consider the fair value of Mr. Sarbu’s put option to be approximately US$ nil.

d) Other

Dutch tax

On February 9, 2004 we entered into an agreement with the Dutch tax authorities to settle all tax liabilities outstanding for the period through 2003, including receipts in respect of our 2003 award in the arbitration against the Czech Republic, for a payment of US$ 9.0 million.  We expected to continue to pay tax in the Netherlands of between US$ 1.0 and US$ 2.5 million for the foreseeable future and therefore also agreed to a minimum tax payable of US$ 2.0 million per year for the years 2004 - 2008 and US$ 1.0 million for 2009.

The settlement with the Dutch tax authorities also provides that if any decision is issued at any time prior to December 31, 2008 exempting awards under Bilateral Investment Treaties from taxation in the Netherlands, we will be allowed to recover losses previously used against the 2003 arbitration award, which could be up to US$ 195.0 million, to offset other income within the applicable carry forward rules. This would not reduce the minimum amount of tax agreed payable under the settlement agreement.  At this time there is no indication that the Dutch tax authorities will issue such a decision.

As at June 30, 2007 we provided US$ 3.9 million (US$ 2.5 million in non-current liabilities and US$ 1.4 million in current liabilities) and as at December 31, 2006 we provided US$ 5.5 million (US$ 3.0 million in non-current liabilities and US$ 2.5 million in current liabilities) of tax in the Netherlands as the difference between our obligation under this agreement and our estimate of tax in the Netherlands that may fall due over this period from business operations, based on current business structures and economic conditions.

Czech Republic - Factoring of Trade Receivables

CET 21 has a working capital credit facility of CZK 250 million (approximately US$ 11.7 million) with Ceska Sporitelna, a.s.  This facility is secured by a pledge of receivables under the factoring agreement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna.

The transfer of the receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing under FASB Statement No. 140, ‘Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities’, with the proceeds received recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability and included in current credit facilities and obligations under capital leases.  The corresponding receivables are a part of accounts receivable, as we retain the risks of ownership.

Contingencies

a) Litigation

We are, from time to time, a party to litigation that arises in the normal course of our business operations.  Other than those claims discussed below, we are not presently a party to any such litigation, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or operations.  Unless otherwise disclosed, no provision has been made against any potential losses that could arise.

We present below a summary of our more significant proceedings by country.

Croatia

Global Communications Disputes

On October 29, 2004, Operativna Kompanija d.o.o. (“OK”), our former operating company in Croatia, filed suit against Global Communications d.o.o. claiming approximately HRK 53.0 million (approximately US$ 9.8 million) in damages.  Global Communications is a company controlled by Ivan Caleta, who had previously operated Nova TV (Croatia) through OK.  Global Communications, together with GRP Media d.o.o., another company controlled by Mr. Caleta, had provided certain goods and services to OK and Nova TV (Croatia) in exchange for advertising time pursuant to an agreement dated April 10, 2001 (the “Global Agreement”).  Global Communications and GRP Media were functionally managing the advertising inventory of Nova TV (Croatia).  On December 31, 2003, Global Communications entered into a reconciliation agreement by which OK acknowledged that Global Communications was entitled to approximately 375,000 seconds of advertising time for goods and services previously provided.  Following our acquisition of Nova TV (Croatia) and OK in July 2004, OK concluded that Global Communications had used all of its seconds by June 2004 based on a substantial discrepancy discovered between the utilization of advertising time recorded by Global Communications and that recorded by AGB Puls, an independent television audience measurement service operating in Croatia.  In the course of its investigation of the usage of seconds by Global Communications, OK discovered that computer records of advertising seconds kept for OK may have been altered.  OK brought a suit to recover amounts for advertising time used by Global Communications in excess of the 375,000 seconds agreed.  Global Communications filed a counterclaim in January 2005 for HRK 68.0 million (approximately US$ 12.5 million), claiming that the AGB data is unreliable and that it is entitled to additional seconds under the previous agreement. The lower commercial court issued a judgment on July 12, 2006 in favor of Global Communications for the full amount of the counterclaim, and we have appealed this decision on the basis of false and inadequate disclosure, wrongful application of substantive law and procedural error.  Global Communications separately brought a claim against Nova TV (Croatia), on the same basis as the OK counterclaim.  Both Global Communications and Nova TV (Croatia) requested the court to join this claim with the OK counterclaim but this request was denied.  The lower commercial court issued a judgment on August 1, 2006 in favor of Global Communications for the full amount of the claim, after having denied submission of evidence supporting our defense.  We have also appealed this decision. We have accrued for the amounts we expect to be ultimately payable as a result of having commenced settlement negotiations with Global Communications. Any such settlement would also include a settlement of the former shareholder dispute described below.

On January 25, 2007, Nova TV (Croatia) filed suit against Global Communications. The facts underlying the claim are substantially the same as those of the abovementioned claims, but Nova TV (Croatia) is claiming that the Global Agreement and the two reconciliation agreements dated April 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 (the “Reconciliation Agreements”), by which OK acknowledged the number of seconds of advertising time to which Global Communications was purportedly entitled, should be declared null and void under Article 141 of the Croatian Obligations Act. This provision is intended to protect a contractual party which has entered into unfair bargaining terms due to its dependency on the other contractual party.  Global Communications, OK and Nova TV (Croatia) were all related parties (controlled by Ivan Caleta) and the contractual terms provided for the provision of 1,340,280 seconds by OK to Global Communications in exchange for certain transmitters. These seconds were valued at an aggregate of DEM 5 million (or DEM 3.73 per second; HRK 3.91 per second at the time) whereas the rate card price was DEM 97.18 or HRK 380.00 per second (i.e. a price that was 26 times higher). Other clients (unrelated parties) sampled from this period were paying between 382.50 HRK to 491.85 HRK per second. Nova TV (Croatia) is arguing for voidance of this contract because of its unconscionable terms which were detrimental to OK and Nova TV (Croatia) and beneficial solely to Global Communications (which, in its capacity as an advertising agency, on-sold these seconds to its clients at market rates, thereby reaping an extraordinary profit).  Nova TV (Croatia) is further claiming restitution for advertising seconds appropriated by Global Communications under the Global Agreement. The restitution amount is HRK 586.5 million (approximately US$ 108.2 million). The first hearing has been scheduled for September 24, 2007.

Former Shareholder Dispute

On July 21, 2005, Narval A.M. d.o.o. (a company wholly-owned by Ivan Caleta), Studio Millenium d.o.o. and Richard Anthony Sheldon, three of the former shareholders of OK, filed suit against Nova TV (Croatia) for rescission of the sale and purchase contract pursuant to which they sold 75% of OK to Nova TV (Croatia) in July 2004 (the “OK Sale Contract”).  Nova TV (Croatia) acquired OK immediately prior to our acquiring Nova TV (Croatia).  The provisions of the OK Sale Contract required Nova TV (Croatia) to make payment to the four shareholders of OK by September 1, 2004, upon receipt of appropriate invoices and bank account details.  The fourth shareholder, Pitos d.o.o., issued an invoice that was duly received by Nova TV (Croatia) and payment was made thereunder.  The other three shareholders claim that they hand-delivered a joint invoice to one of the former directors of Nova TV (Croatia), but we continue to dispute this.  Under the Croatian Obligations Act, one party to a contract who has performed may unilaterally rescind a contract if the other party fails to perform after receipt of a written warning.  On May 24, 2006, the lower commercial court decided in favor of the plaintiffs to rescind the OK Sale Contract and ordered the defendant to pay court costs.  We have appealed the decision on the basis that evidence supporting our position was not allowed to be presented to the court and we continue to challenge the validity of the power of attorney purportedly issued by Richard Anthony Sheldon (a resident of the United Kingdom) to legal counsel representing the other plaintiffs.

On August 28, 2006, we received a lower court decision of an injunction against us (decided without a hearing) that, inter alia, prohibits a sale or encumbrance of 75% of the shares of OK.  Although we appealed this decision, the appellate commercial court upheld the lower court’s judgment on November 21, 2006.  On November 6, 2006, we were notified of a request for a further injunction that would, inter alia, prohibit us from taking any actions to decrease the value of OK and require the management of OK to report to a delegate of the former shareholders. We have unsuccessfully sought the removal of the presiding judge, Raul Dubravec (who also presided over the Global Communications lawsuit against Nova TV (Croatia)). Mr. Dubravec ruled against us on December 18, 2006, requiring imposition of a temporary director for OK, which is not a remedy available under Croatian law under the facts of this action. Further, the temporary director who has been appointed is one of the former directors of OK who countersigned the Reconciliation Agreements and is an associate of Ivan Caleta. Our appeal against this decision was denied on May 8, 2007. While we continue to vigorously contest all these actions in the face of serious concerns as to the impartiality of the Croatian judicial system, we have commenced settlement negotiations with the former shareholders of OK.

Romania

There are no significant outstanding legal actions that relate to our business in Romania.

Slovenia

On November 20, 2002, we received notice of a claim filed by Mrs. Zdenka Meglic, the founder and a former shareholder of MMTV 1 d.o.o (MMTV), against MMTV, a subsidiary of CME Media Enterprises B.V.  In her claim against MMTV, Mrs. Meglic is seeking an amount equal to EUR 0.8 million (approximately US$ 1.1 million) for repayment of monies advanced to MMTV from 1992 to 1994 (in the amount of approximately EUR 0.1 million (approximately US$ 0.1 million)) plus accrued interest.  On September 9, 2004, the court of first instance found against MMTV and issued a judgment requiring MMTV to pay an amount equal to EUR 0.8 million (approximately US$ 1.1 million) plus interest as well as costs.  On September 24, 2004, MMTV filed an appeal against the judgment.  On December 15, 2004, the appellate court vacated the judgment of the lower court and returned the case for further proceedings A hearing has been scheduled for September 4, 2007.  We do not believe that Mrs. Meglic will prevail and will continue to defend the claim.

Slovak Republic

There are no significant outstanding legal actions that relate to our business in the Slovak Republic.

Ukraine

On October 13, 2005, Igor Kolomoisky filed a lawsuit against Alexander Rodnyansky and Studio 1+1 in a district court in Kiev.  Our Ukrainian affiliate Intermedia was joined in the proceedings as a “third party”.  Igor Kolomoisky was attempting to enforce what he alleges was a binding oral agreement with Alexander Rodnyansky to purchase the latter’s 70.0% interest in Studio 1+1 for consideration of US$ 70.0 million and to transfer that interest to Igor Kolomoisky on receipt of a prepayment of US$ 2.0 million.  The lawsuit arose from abortive negotiations among Igor Kolomoisky, Alexander Rodnyansky and Boris Fuchsmann for the acquisition by Igor Kolomoisky of the totality of interests in the Studio 1+1 Group held by Alexander Rodnyansky and Boris Fuchsmann, subject to Igor Kolomoisky assuming all of their obligations under our existing partnership arrangements.  On August 16, 2006, the district court in Kiev ruled in favor of Igor Kolomoisky and found that he is entitled to the 70% interest in Studio 1+1 held by Alexander Rodnyansky. Our Ukrainian affiliate Intermedia and Alexander Rodnyansky filed appeals against this decision.

At a hearing on October 31, 2006, the appellate court overturned the decision of the court of first instance and denied Igor Kolomoisky’s claim that he is entitled to a 70% interest in Studio 1+1 held by Alexander Rodnyansky.  On November 3, 2006, Igor Kolomoisky filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Ukraine, the highest court in Ukraine.  At a hearing on February 28, 2007, the Supreme Court rejected this appeal.

On April 4, 2007 the Supreme Court of Ukraine agreed to hear an extraordinary appeal from Igor Kolomoisky against the decision made on February 28, 2007 and the decision of the Court of Appeals of the city of Kiev made on October 31, 2006.  At a hearing on May 25, 2007, the Supreme Court denied this extraordinary appeal.  As a result of this decision, Igor Kolomoisky has no further rights to pursue this claim against Rodnyansky in the Ukrainian courts on the same grounds.

On December 23, 2005, we initiated proceedings against our partners Alexander Rodnyansky and Boris Fuchsmann in order to enforce our contractual rights and compel a restructuring of the ownership of Studio 1+1 in order to permit us to hold a 60% interest in Studio 1+1 through a subsidiary organized in Ukraine.  Initiation of this proceeding followed protracted negotiations with our partners to restructure following confirmation from the Ukraine Media Council that our proposed ownership structure would not be in violation of restrictions on foreign ownership contained in the Ukraine Media Law, which restricts direct (but not indirect) investment by foreign persons in Ukrainian broadcasters to 30%.  On January 12, 2006, the Ukraine parliament adopted an amended version of the Ukraine Media Law that clarifies the absence of any restriction on indirect foreign ownership of television broadcasters.  This amended Ukraine Media Law came into force in March 2006.  Our partners have acknowledged an obligation to restructure upon the entry into force of these amendments. Our partners have entered into certain agreements to implement the restructuring of the Ukrainian operations of the Studio 1+1 Group.  Following the completion of the transactions reflected in these agreements and the registration of the charter of Studio 1+1 amended to reflect the new ownership of Studio 1+1, our ownership interest in Studio 1+1 (direct and indirect) will be 60%. Upon successful completion of the restructuring, we will terminate the proceedings initiated against our partners in December 2005.

Ongoing ancillary litigation to enjoin transactions related to the ownership of Studio 1+1 has been initiated by third parties who are not direct parties in interest to legal proceedings initiated by Igor Kolomoisky against Alexander Rodnyansky.  The state registrar in the district administration in Kiev where charters are registered has declined to register amendments to the charter of Studio 1+1, including in respect of the restructured ownership agreed with our partners (see Part 1, Item 1, Note 1, Ukraine (Studio 1+1)) on the basis of injunctions that have been lodged by such third parties.  We do not believe that there is any legal basis for permitting such injunctions to be enforced or for refusing to register the amended charter of Studio 1+1 and have initiated a lawsuit against the district administration in Kiev to compel it to register the amendments to the Studio 1+1 charter.  A hearing in this matter is scheduled for August 2, 2007.

b) Licenses

Regulatory bodies in each country in which we operate control access to available frequencies through licensing regimes. We believe that the licenses for our license companies will be renewed prior to expiry. In Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Ukraine local regulations contain a qualified presumption for extensions of broadcast licenses, according to which a broadcast license may be renewed if the licensee has operated substantially in compliance with the relevant licensing regime. To date, all expiring licenses have been renewed; however, there can be no assurance that any of the licenses will be renewed upon expiration of their current terms. The failure of any such license to be renewed could adversely affect the results of our operations.

The following summarizes the expiry dates of our television broadcasting licenses:

Croatia
The license of NOVA TV (Croatia) expires in April 2010.
   
Czech Republic
The license of TV NOVA (Czech Republic) expires in January 2017. The GALAXIE SPORT license expires in March 2014.
   
Romania
Licenses expire on dates ranging from August 2007 to February 2016.
   
Slovak Republic
The license of MARKIZA TV in the Slovak Republic expires in September 2019.
   
Slovenia
The licenses of POP TV and KANAL A expire in August 2012.
   
Ukraine
The 15-hour prime time and off prime time license of STUDIO 1+1 expires in December 2016. The license to broadcast for the remaining nine hours in off prime expires in August 2014.  Licenses used for the KINO and CITI channels expire on dates ranging from June 2008 to July 2016.


c) Restrictions on dividends from Consolidated Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates

Corporate law in the Central and Eastern European countries in which we have operations stipulates generally that dividends may be declared by shareholders, out of yearly profits, subject to the maintenance of registered capital and required reserves after the recovery of accumulated losses. The reserve requirement restriction generally provides that before dividends may be distributed, a portion of annual net profits (typically 5%) be allocated to a reserve, which reserve is capped at a proportion of the registered capital of a company (ranging from 5% to 25%).  The restricted net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries and equity in earnings of investments accounted for under the equity method together are less than 25% of consolidated net assets.


19.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 13, 2007, we acquired 100.0% of Media Invest s.r.o. from our Slovak partner Jan Kovacik for aggregate consideration of SKK 1.9 billion (approximately US$ 78.8 million at the date of acquisition). Media Invest has a 20.0% voting and economic interest in Markiza. As a result of this transaction, we now own 100.0% of Markiza.

The principal events for the three months ended June 30, 2007 are as follows:

·  
In the three months ended June 30, 2007, we reported growth in Segment Net Revenues of 38% and Segment EBITDA of 38% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, delivering a Segment EBITDA margin of 40%, in line with that reported in the three months ended June 30, 2006 (Segment EBITDA is defined and reconciled to our consolidated results in Item 1, Note 16).

·  
Other than our operations in Ukraine, each of our stations reported revenue growth in excess of 25% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, with particularly strong growth reported in Croatia and the Slovak Republic. Our operations in Ukraine experienced a slight increase in Segment Net Revenues but a significant decline in Segment EBITDA as we were required to increase our investment in programming in the face of increased competition and poor ratings performance.

·  
On May 15, 2007 we redeemed our EUR 125.0 million floating rate Senior Notes, bearing interest at six-month EURIBOR plus 5.50%.

·  
On May 16, 2007 we issued EUR 150.0 million of floating rate Senior Notes, bearing interest at six-month EURIBOR plus 1.625%.

·  
On June 1, 2007, we completed the acquisition of an additional 5% interest in Pro TV and MPI and now own a 95.0% interest in our Romania operations.

·  
On June 25, 2007, our shares of Class A Common Stock were included within the broad-market Russell 3000 Index, the large-cap stocks Russell 1000 Index and the Russell Global Index.
 
Events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2007 have been as follows:

·  
On July 13, 2007, we acquired an additional 20.0% interest in Markiza and now own 100.0% of our Slovak Republic operations.

As our markets mature, we anticipate more intense competition for audience share and advertising spending from other incumbent terrestrial broadcasters and, to a lesser extent, from local cable and satellite broadcasters.  We believe we are in a solid position to manage increased competition.  In the near term we intend to continue to pursue further improvements in the performance of our existing operations in order to maximize the potential for organic growth. In Croatia, we believe that our strategy and investments are beginning to bring consistent positive results, which has created a solid foundation for Nova TV (Croatia) to reach break even before the end of 2008.  In Ukraine, we anticipate that political advertising in advance of parliamentary elections in September and increased television advertising spending that is expected to follow greater political certainty after the elections will facilitate an improvement in the results of Studio 1+1.

Our priorities in this regard include:

·  
Pursuing sub-regional efficiencies, especially in the area of local programming between Slovenia and Croatia and between the Czech and Slovak Republics;

·  
Supporting the growth of television advertising in our markets through increased development and through the launch or acquisition of additional channels to expand our advertising inventory and target niche audiences;

·  
Leveraging our existing brands and assets to develop new revenue opportunities, including in the creation and distribution of programming and in the new media sectors; and

·  
Continuing to expand our footprint into additional Central and Eastern European markets when financially prudent opportunities arise.

In particular, we are planning the following during the remainder of 2007:

·  
Continuing to improve the effectiveness of our operations in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic.

·  
Additional investment in Russian series and local programming for STUDIO 1+1, which have driven ratings historically, and continuing the development of our Ukraine channels KINO and CITI which were launched in 2006.

·  
Further development of our non-broadcast activities, particularly in new media, which is being coordinated across our markets.

·  
Acquisition of additional shares in our operations in Ukraine if the opportunity arises; and

·  
Continuing to invest in the development of our Croatia operations.
 
III. Analysis of Segment Results

OVERVIEW

We manage our business on a geographic basis and review the performance of each business segment using data that reflects 100% of operating and license company results.  We also consider how much of our total revenues and earnings are derived from our broadcast and non-broadcast operations. Our business segments are comprised of Croatia, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and our two businesses in Ukraine.

We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on Segment Net Revenues and Segment EBITDA.  Segment Net Revenues and Segment EBITDA include our operations in the Slovak Republic which were not consolidated prior to January 23, 2006.

Our key performance measure of the efficiency of our business segments is EBITDA margin.  We define Segment EBITDA margin as the ratio of Segment EBITDA to Segment Net Revenues.

Segment EBITDA is determined as segment net income/loss, which includes program rights amortization costs, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.  Items that are not allocated to our segments for purposes of evaluating their performance, and therefore are not included in Segment EBITDA, include:

·  
expenses presented as corporate operating costs in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income;

·  
stock-based compensation charges;

 
Page 42

 
·  
foreign currency exchange gains and losses;

·  
change in fair value of derivatives; and

·  
certain unusual or infrequent items (e.g., extraordinary gains and losses, impairments of assets or investments).

EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.  Non-GAAP measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, US GAAP financial measures.
 
We believe Segment EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides a more meaningful representation of our performance as it excludes certain items that either do not impact our cash flows or the operating results of our stations.  Segment EBITDA is also used as a component in determining management bonuses.

For a full reconciliation of our Segment Net Revenues and Segment EBITDA by operation to our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 see Part I, Item 1, Note 16.
 
A summary of our total Segment Net Revenues, Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin showing the relative contribution of each Segment, is as follows:

ANALYSIS BY GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENT

In the countries in which we operate, advertisers tend to allocate their television advertising budgets among channels based on each channel's audience share, audience demographic profile and pricing policy.  We generally offer two different bases of pricing to our advertising customers.  The first basis is cost per gross rating point (which we refer to as “GRP”).  A GRP represents the percentage of audience (from the population over the age of four) reached by a television advertisement and the number of GRPs achieved for a defined time period is the product of the proportion of that total viewing population watching that television advertisement and the frequency that it is viewed (as measured by international measurement agencies using peoplemeters).  The second basis is rate-card, which reflects the timing and duration of an advertisement.  Whether advertising is sold on a GRP basis or a rate-card basis depends on the dynamics of a particular market and our relative audience share.

Cost per GRP pricing: Advertising priced on a cost per GRP basis allows an advertiser to specify the number of gross ratings points that it wants to achieve with an advertisement within a defined period of time.  We schedule the timing of the airing of the advertisements during such defined period of time in a manner that enables us both to meet the advertiser's GRP target and to maximize the use and profitability of our available advertising programming time.  The price per GRP package varies depending on the demographic group that the advertisement is targeting, the flexibility given to us by advertisers in scheduling their advertisements and the rebates offered by us to advertising agencies and their clients.  GRP package sales generally allow for better inventory control than rate-card pricing and optimize the net price per GRP achieved.

Rate-card pricing: Advertising priced on a rate-card basis is applied to advertisements scheduled at a specific time.  Consistent with industry practice, we provide an incentive rebate on rate-card prices to a number of advertising agencies and their clients.  We recognize our advertising revenue net of rebates at the time the relevant advertisement is broadcast.

The majority of our advertising customers commit to annual minimum spending levels.  We usually schedule specific advertisements one month in advance of broadcasting them.  Prices paid by advertisers, whether they purchase advertising time on a GRP package or rate-card basis, tend to be higher during peak viewing months, particularly during the fourth quarter, than during off-peak months such as July and August.

When describing relative performance against other competitors in attracting audience we refer to ratings share, which represents the number of people watching a channel as a proportion of the total population, and audience share, which represents the share attracted by a channel of the total audience watching television.

Our goal is to increase revenues from advertising in local currency year-on-year in every market through disciplined management of our advertising inventory.  In any given period, revenue changes can be attributable to combinations of price fluctuations, different inventory sales, seasonal or time-of-day incentives, target-audience delivery of specific campaigns, introductory pricing for new clients or audience movements based on our competitors’ program schedule.

For the purposes of our management discussion and analysis, total television advertising revenue net of rebates is referred to as “spot revenues”.  Non-spot revenues refers to all other revenues, including those from sponsorship, game shows, program sales, text messaging, cable subscriptions and barter transactions.  The total of spot revenues and non-spot revenues is equal to Segment Net Revenues.
 
(A) CROATIA

Market Background:  We estimate that the television advertising market in Croatia experienced local currency growth of approximately 2% - 5% in 2006 and expect it to show low single digit growth during 2007.

In the six months ended June 30, 2007, national all day audience share for NOVA TV (Croatia) grew to 18.1% compared to 13.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The major competitors are the two state-owned channels HRT1 and HRT2, with national all day audience shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of 27.0% and 17.4%, respectively, and privately owned broadcaster RTL with 28.0%.
 
Page 46

 
Prime time audience share for NOVA TV (Croatia), which is our principal focus, grew from 15.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 19.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2007.  Our average prime time ratings increased from 6.9% to 7.3% over comparable periods, while prime time ratings for the whole market decreased from 45.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2006, when viewership increased during the Winter Olympics and the Soccer World Cup, to 37.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

(B) CZECH REPUBLIC

Market Background:  We estimate that the television advertising market in the Czech Republic remained stable in local currency during 2006.  We expect the television advertising market to show high single digit growth in 2007.  State television has reduced the amount of airtime that can be devoted to commercial advertising to 0.5% in 2007.

The national all day audience share of our channel, TV NOVA (Czech Republic), for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 40.6% compared to 41.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The major competitors are the two state-owned channels CT1 and CT2, with national all day audience
 
Page 48

 
shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of 22.2% and 8.3% respectively, and privately owned broadcaster TV Prima with a national all day audience share of 19.9%.

Prime time audience share grew from 43.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 44.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2007.  Our average prime time ratings decreased from 17.8% to 17.0% over comparable periods, while prime time ratings for the whole market decreased from 41.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 38.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the extremely warm weather enjoyed by much of Europe in 2007.

During the first quarter of 2006, we announced a new advertising sales strategy based on our belief that growth in the television advertising market in the Czech Republic has been impeded over the past several years due to broadcasters focusing on obtaining an increased share of revenues committed to television advertising rather than fostering market growth by focusing on maximizing value received from the sale of GRPs.  The focus of the TV Nova (Czech Republic) group is now on the development of advertising revenues over the medium term by supporting and then capturing market growth through a more sophisticated pricing policy.  In conjunction with this advertising strategy, the TV Nova (Czech Republic) group initiated a series of measures to reduce the costs of its operations, including the cancellation of poorly performing formats and reductions in operational costs.  Our results in the first half of 2007 reflect the success of these initiatives to date.

Market Background:  We estimate that the television advertising market grew by approximately 32% - 37% in US dollars during 2006.  We expect the television advertising market to show continued growth in the range of 25% to 30% in 2007.
 
The combined national all day audience share of PRO TV, ACASA and PRO CINEMA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 22.1% compared to 25.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  On March 1, 2007 we acquired the license to broadcast SPORT.RO which had an all day audience share of 1.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2007. We re-branded the channel SPORT.RO and re-launched it under its new name during April 2007.  The major competitors are the two state-owned channels TVR1 and TVR2, with national all day audience shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of 13.5% and 4.8%, respectively, and privately owned broadcaster Antena 1 with 12.7%.
 
Prime time audience share for PRO TV, ACASA and PRO CINEMA decreased from 27.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 23.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2007.  ACASA suffered a decline in share, as the popularity of our successful telenovellas has diminished following the decision by other competing stations to produce similar programs, while an increase in share for PRO CINEMA was offset by an equivalent decrease in PRO TV.  Our average prime time ratings decreased from 11.3% to 8.7% over comparable periods, while prime time ratings for the whole market decreased from 41.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 37.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the unusually warm weather conditions as well as the increased popularity of other forms of entertainment as consumer electronic products decine in price.

Our prime time audience share increased from 33.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 38.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to strong local programs such as Bailando and Neighbors.  Our average prime time ratings increased from 13.5% to 14.7% over comparable periods, while prime time ratings for the whole market decreased from 40.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 38.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the impact of the Winter Olympics and the Soccer World Cup on viewing habits in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

(F) UKRAINE (STUDIO 1+1)

Market Background:  We estimate that the television advertising market in Ukraine, where sales are denominated primarily in US dollars, experienced growth of approximately 28% - 31% in 2006.

STUDIO 1+1 had a national all day audience share of 15.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 18.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Our competitors include: Inter, with a national all day audience share of 19.6%, Novy Kanal with 7.7%, ICTV with 7.1% and STB with 7.2%.
 
Our prime time audience share decreased from 24.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 18.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Many larger major channels have lost audience share to new niche channels.  Our share in the six months ended June 30, 2006 reflected the outstanding success of a show called Ugly Betty.  Our average prime time ratings decreased from 9.1% to 6.6% over comparable periods, while prime time ratings for the whole market decreased from 37.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 35.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

While the television advertising market has shown recovery in the second quarter it continues to lag behind expectations. Advertisers have been cautious in spending their budgets in the light of continuing political uncertainty arising from the disagreements between the Ukrainian President and Prime Minister.

In addition, our independent sales house Video International (Prioritet) has lost many of its broadcasting clients to its major rival InterReklama, which now has approximately 70% of available advertising inventory at its disposal for advertising clients. According to Video International, in order to cover the cash costs of financial guarantees made in the early part of the year to new and existing broadcasting clients, InterReklama discounted prices dramatically in the early part of the year. Subsequently, they have continued to exercise strong negotiating leverage with their significant broadcaster base. However, we have recently seen a recovery in pricing during the second quarter from the heavy discounting in the first quarter.

It is expected that parliamentary elections will take place on September 30, 2007 and will lead to strong growth of the television advertising market in the fourth quarter. Video International remains optimistic that, if the formation of a new government following the elections is rapid, advertising spending deferred from the first half of the year will be available in the final quarter and may result in an annual year-on-year market growth of at least 30%. It is likely that broadcasters will also benefit from significant additional political advertising spending during the election season in the third quarter. However, given the uncertainties surrounding the factors described above, there is a wide range of possible outcomes for market development in 2007.

Segment Net Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by US$ 1.6 million, or 8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Spot revenues increased by US$ 0.6 million, or 4%.  There was a decrease in the volume of GRPs sold in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006 as our ratings declined due to the poor performance of the Russian series of Mothers and Daughters and of Damned Paradise (which aired following the conclusion of the successful current run of Cadets), particularly as against the runaway success of a new Russian series Day of Tatyana on Inter, which is expected to run until early 2008.  We also suffered increased competition from other broadcasters. These factors were partially offset by an increase in the average revenue per rating point sold.  Non-spot revenues increased by US$ 1.0 million, or 27%, primarily due to increased sponsorship and the sale of surplus programming.

Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by US$ 5.5 million, or 87%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 2% compared to 29% in the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Costs charged in arriving at Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by US$ 7.1 million, or 47%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Cost of programming grew by US$ 7.7 million, or 87%, including a charge of US$ 2.2 million to write off poorly performing programming, principally second runs of American series.  The increase in cost of programming reflects continued price inflation for Russian programming, which drives strong ratings in the market, as well as increased investment in such programming to improve our programming schedule and boost ratings following disappointing ratings in the first half of 2007 and against unusually strong programming on Inter.  Other operating costs increased by US$ 1.0 million, or 31%, due to increased salary costs and increased broadcast operating expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by US$ 1.6 million, or 53%, primarily due to decreased taxes and reduced bad debt expense.

Segment Net Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by US$ 5.8 million, or 12%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Spot revenues decreased by US$ 7.2 million, or 18%.  There was a decrease in the volume of GRPs sold as our ratings declined due to the poor performance of certain series on Studio 1+1 and increased competition from other broadcasters. There was also a decrease in the average revenue per rating point sold in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 due to extreme price competition in the first quarter.  In the six months ended June 30, 2006, we benefited from US$ 8.4 million of political advertising revenue ahead of the parliamentary elections in March 2006 as well as the extraordinary ratings success of the Russian series Ugly Betty, which ran until July 2006. Non-spot revenues increased by US$ 1.5 million, or 23%, primarily due to the sale of surplus programming and increased sponsorship.

·
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by US$ 18.8 million, or 111%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, resulting in an EBITDA loss of (4)% compared to an EBITDA margin of 37% in the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Costs charged in arriving at Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by US$ 13.1 million, or 44%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Cost of programming grew by US$ 13.0 million, or 75%, including a charge of US$ 2.7 million to write off poorly performing programming, principally second runs of American series.  The increase in cost of programming reflects continued price inflation for Russian programming, which drives strong ratings in the market, as well as increased investment in such programming to improve our programming schedule and boost ratings following disappointing ratings in the first half of 2007 and against unusually strong programming on Inter.  Other operating costs increased by US$ 1.6 million, or 22%, due to increased salary costs and increased broadcast operating expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by US$ 1.5 million, or 27%, primarily due to decreased taxes and reduced bad debt expense.
 
We plan continued investment in programming throughout the remainder of 2007 as we seek to recover audience share and improve profitability.  The performance of our Ukraine operations remains subject both to political developments, which can have a significant impact on market development in the second half of 2007, and to the competitive dynamics of the market (See Part II, Item IA – “Risk Factors”).

(G) UKRAINE (KINO, CITI)

On January 11, 2006, we acquired a 65.5% interest in Ukrpromtorg 2003 LLC, owner of 92.2% of Gravis LLC, which operated the local channels, CHANNEL 35 and CHANNEL 7.  In July 2006, we ceased operating CHANNEL 7 and launched a new entertainment channel, KINO, targeted at a younger demographic.  On December 1, 2006, we ceased operating CHANNEL 35 and launched a new youth-oriented channel, CITI, with a Kiev-wide reach.

KINO and CITI, both of which target a youth market have as their main competitors ICTV, TONIS and NTN. As at June 30, 2007, KINO had a technical reach of approximately 53.1% and in the six months ended June 30, 2007 achieved a 15-50 prime time audience share in the Kiev region of 2.2%. CITI had a technical reach of approximately 88.0% of the population of the city of Kiev and the Kiev region. In the six months ended June 30, 2007 CITI achieved a 4+ prime time audience share of 1.5% in Kiev and the Kiev region.

US$ 2.5 million of additional programming costs from our Slovenia operations;

·  
US$ 7.7 million of additional programming costs from our Ukraine (STUDIO 1+1) operations; and

·  
US$ 1.3 million of additional programming costs from our Ukraine (KINO, CITI) operations;


Total consolidated programming costs (including amortization of programming rights and production costs) increased by US$ 47.9 million, or 47 %, in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to:

·  
US$ 7.8 million of additional programming costs from our Croatia operations;

·  
US$ 14.4 million of additional programming costs from our Romania operations;

·  
US$ 4.8 million of additional programming costs from our Slovak Republic operations, which have been consolidated for the entire six-month period in 2007;

Corporate operating costs (excluding non-cash stock-based compensation) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by US$ 0.9 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to:

·
Decreased legal costs incurred in connection with legal proceedings in respect of our Ukraine operations, partly offset by;
·
Increased staff-related costs; and
·
Increased business development expenses incurred in researching potential acquisition targets.

The increase in the charge for non-cash stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006 reflects an increase in the number of stock options granted in 2006 compared to prior years as well as an increase in the fair value of stock options as our stock price increased in recent years.  For more details, see Part I Item 1, Note 14.

Corporate operating costs (excluding non-cash stock-based compensation) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by US$ 0.6 million, or 4%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to:

·
Decreased property-related costs, as the expense incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2006 included  a lease exit charge of approximately US$ 1.6 million (including additional depreciation of US$ 0.3 million) incurred following relocation of our London office during the first quarter of 2006;
 
·
Decreased legal costs incurred in connection with legal proceedings in respect of our Ukraine operations, partly offset by;

Increased staff-related costs; and

·
Increased business development expenses incurred in researching potential acquisition targets.


IV (i) Impairment charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006

When we updated our medium-term forecast models at June 30, 2006, we determined that the forecast future cash flows of our Croatia operations had decreased compared to our previous forecast. We therefore reviewed the carrying value of the intangible assets with indefinite lives to determine whether the assets are impaired.  As a result of our analysis, we recognized an impairment charge of US$ 0.7 million to write down the carrying value of goodwill to US$ nil as at June 30, 2006.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was in line with that recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by US$ 8.1 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of US$ 6.9 million of costs associated the redemption of our 2012 Floating Rate Notes as well as an increase in interest rates.

Foreign currency exchange loss, net:  For the three months ended June 30, 2007 we recognized a US$ 2.1 million loss primarily as a result of the strengthening of the Euro against the dollar during the three-month period.  Our fixed and floating rate Senior Notes are denominated in Euros, and we incurred a transaction loss of approximately US$ 6.1 million due to movements in the spot rate between March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a transaction loss of US$ 20.6 million.

Change in fair value of derivatives: For the three months ended June 30, 2007 we recognized a US$ 7.5 million gain as a result of the change in the fair value of the currency swaps entered into on April 27, 2006.  For further information, see Part I Item 1, Note 12.

Other (expense) / income :  For the three months ended June 30, 2007 we incurred other expenses of US$ 0.5 million compared to income of US$ 0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Provision for income taxes:  The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was US$ 13.4 million compared to US$ 3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of our increased profitability.  Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 25% compared to 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
 
Page 70

 
Minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries:  For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a charge of US$ 5.7 million in respect of the minority interest in the income of consolidated subsidiaries, compared to a charge of US$ 1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This reflected the strong increase in profitability of our Slovak Republic operations.

Discontinued operations:  For the three months ended June 30, 2007 we recognized a charge of US$ nil in respect of discontinued operations compared to US$ 1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

On June 19, 2003, our Board of Directors decided to withdraw from operations in the Czech Republic.  On October 23, 2003, we sold our 93.2% interest in CNTS to our former Czech Republic operating company, for US$ 53.2 million.

The revenues and expenses of our former Czech Republic operations and the award income and related legal expenses have therefore all been treated as discontinued operations.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the amounts credited to discontinued operations largely represented revised estimates of additional payments we expect to make to the Dutch tax authorities pursuant to the agreement we entered into on February 9, 2004 (see also Part I, Item 1, Note 17).

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by US$ 9.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of US$ 6.9 million of costs associated the redemption of our 2012 Floating Rate Notes as well as an increase in interest rates.

Foreign currency exchange loss, net:  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 we recognized a US$ 5.3 million loss primarily as a result of the strengthening of the Euro against the dollar during the six-month period.  Our fixed and floating rate Senior Notes are denominated in Euros, and we incurred a transaction loss of approximately US$ 11.5 million due to movements in the spot rate between December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a transaction loss of US$ 31.5 million.

Change in fair value of derivatives: For the six months ended June 30, 2007 we recognized a US$ 12.1 million gain as a result of the change in the fair value of the currency swaps entered into on April 27, 2006.  For further information, see Part I Item 1, Note 12.

Other expense:  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 we incurred other expenses of US$ 6.8 million compared to US$ 0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The amount for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes accruals in anticipation of the settlement of all outstanding disclosed litigation surrounding our Croatia operations.
 
Provision for income taxes:  The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was US$ 18.5 million compared to US$ 7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of our increased profitability.  Our stations pay income taxes at rates ranging from 16.0% in Romania to 25.0% in Ukraine.

Minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries:  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a charge of US$ 5.4 million in respect of the minority interest in the income of consolidated subsidiaries, compared to a charge of US$ 6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  This movement primarily reflects the fact that our Ukraine (STUDIO 1+1) operations reported a net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a significant net profit in the six months ended June 30, 2006, partially offset by the increased profitability of our Slovak Republic and Romania operations.

Equity in income / (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates:  Some of our broadcasting licenses were held by unconsolidated affiliates over which we had minority blocking rights but not majority control.  These affiliates were accounted for using the equity method.

Equity in income / (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by US$ 0.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 as detailed below:

Discontinued operations: For the six months ended June 30, 2007 we recognized a charge of US$ nil in respect of discontinued operations compared to US$ 2.5 million for the six months ended June 30. 2006.

On June 19, 2003, our Board of Directors decided to withdraw from operations in the Czech Republic.  On October 23, 2003, we sold our 93.2% interest in CNTS to our former Czech Republic operating company, for US$ 53.2 million.

The revenues and expenses of our former Czech Republic operations and the award income and related legal expenses have therefore all been treated as discontinued operations.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the amounts charged to discontinued operations represent additional payments we expect to make to the Dutch tax authorities pursuant to the agreement we entered into on February 9, 2004 (see also Item 1, Note 17).

Current assets:  Current assets at June 30, 2007 increased US$ 13.0 million compared to December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in accounts receivable.

Non-current assets:  Non-current assets at June 30, 2007 increased US$ 68.3 million compared to December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets following our acquisition of Sport.ro and an additional 5% stake in our Romania operations.

Current liabilities:  Current liabilities at June 30, 2007 increased US$ 31.3 million compared to December 31, 2006, reflecting increases in deferred income, authors’ rights and payroll taxes partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

Non-current liabilities:  Non-current liabilities at June 30, 2007 increased US$ 37.4 million compared to December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of our issuance of EUR 150.0 million of floating rate Senior Notes, partially offset by the redemption of EUR 125.0 million of floating rate Senior Notes issued in May 2005.

Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries:  Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries at June 30, 2007 decreased US$ 4.6 million compared to December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of our acquisition of an additional 5% stake in our Romania operations.

Shareholders’ equity:  Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2007 increased US$ 17.3 million compared to December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the net income of US$ 34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by the decrease in Other Comprehensive Income (US$ 19.5 million) and the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 (US$ 3.2 million). Included in the total shareholders’ equity were proceeds from the exercise of stock options (US$ 0.7million) and a stock-based compensation charge of US$ 2.6 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by US$ 29.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007.  The change in cash and cash equivalents is summarized as follows:

Operating Activities

Cash generated from continuing operations decreased from US$ 37.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to US$ 21.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, with strong increases in the amount of cash generated by all our stations outside Ukraine from improved operational performance, as well as a reduction in cash paid for taxes following simplification of our corporate structure in the Czech Republic.  However, these positive factors were more than offset by increased investment in programming, particularly in Ukraine, which is experiencing significant price inflation for popular Russian series and making additional investments in such programming to boost ratings and in Croatia, where we are improving the quality of our programming to drive ratings growth.  It is likely that the cost of acquired programming across all our markets will continue to grow in the future.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities increased from US$ 81.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to US$ 88.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007.  Our investing cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2007 were primarily comprised of:

·
Payment of US$ 51.6 million in connection with our acquisition of an additional 5% stake in our Romania broadcasting operations and a 20% stake in our Romanian production company (for further information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 3);
·
Payments of EUR 6.7 million (approximately US$ 8.4 million) in connection with our acquisition of Sport.ro (for further information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 3);
·
Payments of US$ 2.1 million in connection with our acquisition of a 60.4% stake in each of Tor and Zhysa (for further information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 3); and
·
Capital expenditure of US$ 25.5 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash received from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was US$ 31.2 million compared to US$ 138.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Our financing cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily comprised net proceeds of US$ 199.4 million from the issuance of EUR 150.0 million of floating rate Senior Notes, partially offset by payment of EUR 127.5 million (approximately US$ 172.8 million) to redeem our floating rate Senior Notes issued in May 2005.

The amount of cash received in the six months ended June 30, 2006 reflects proceeds of US$ 168.6 million from the issuance of Class A Common Stock and a net amount of US$ 28.0 million of cash received from credit facilities.
 
Page 74


Discontinued Operations

In the six months ended June 30, 2007, we paid taxes of US$ 1.6 million to the Dutch tax authorities pursuant to the agreement we entered into with them on February 9, 2004, compared to US$ 1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006.


V (b) Sources and Uses of Cash

We believe that our current cash resources are sufficient to allow us to continue operating for at least the next 12 months and we do not anticipate additional cash requirements in the near future for our existing operations, subject to the matters disclosed under “Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” and “Cash Outlook” below.

Our ongoing source of cash at the operating stations is primarily the receipt of payments from advertisers and advertising agencies. This may be supplemented from time to time by local borrowing. Surplus cash generated in this manner, after funding the ongoing station operations, may be remitted to us, or to other shareholders where appropriate.  Surplus cash is remitted to us in the form of debt interest payments and capital repayments, dividends, and other distributions and loans from our subsidiaries.

Corporate law in the Central and Eastern European countries in which we operate stipulates generally that dividends may be declared by the partners or shareholders out of yearly profits subject to the maintenance of registered capital, required reserves and after the recovery of accumulated losses. Except as set forth below, our voting power is sufficient to compel the making of distributions.

In the case of Nova TV (Croatia), distributions may be paid from net profits subject to a reserve of 5% of annual profits until the aggregate reserves equal 5% of the registered capital of Nova TV (Croatia). In the case of CET 21, distributions may be paid from net profits subject to a reserve of 5% of net profits until the aggregate reserves equal 10% of the registered capital of CET 21. In the case of Pro TV, distributions may be paid from the profits of Pro TV subject to a reserve of 5% of annual profits until the aggregate reserves equal 20% of Pro TV's registered capital. A majority vote is required in order for Pro TV to make distributions and we have sufficient voting power to compel distributions of dividends.  In the case of Markiza, distributions may be paid from net profits subject to an initial reserve requirement of 10% of net profits until the reserve fund equals 5% of registered capital. Subsequently, the reserve requirement is equal to 5% of net profits until the reserve fund equals 10% of registered capital. In the case of Pro Plus, distributions may be paid from the profits of Pro Plus, subject to a reserve equal to 10% of registered capital being established from accumulated profits. In the case of Studio 1+1, distributions may be paid from net profits subject to a reserve of 5% of net profits until the aggregate reserves equals 25% of the registered capital of Studio 1+1.  We do not have a sufficient majority in Studio 1+1 to compel the distribution of dividends. In the case of Intermedia, Innova and IMS, distributions may be paid from their profits and there is no reserve requirement for these companies. Our voting power in Innova and IMS is sufficient to compel the distribution of dividends.

As at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the operations had the following unsecured balances owing to their respective holding companies:

(1)
In May 2005, we issued Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 370.0 million (approximately US$ 499.7 million) consisting of EUR 245.0 million (approximately US$ 330.9 million) of 8.25% Senior Notes due May 2012 and EUR 125.0 million (approximately US$ 168.8 million) of floating rate Senior Notes due May 2012, which bore interest at six-month Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 5.50%.  On May 15, 2007, we redeemed the floating rate Senior Notes.

On May 16, 2007 we issued Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 150.0 million (approximately US$ 202.6 million), which bear interest at EURIBOR plus 1.625% (5.80% was applicable at June 30, 2007).   Interest is payable on the Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15.

The Senior Notes are secured senior obligations and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries.  The amounts outstanding are guaranteed by two subsidiary holding companies and are secured by a pledge of shares of these subsidiaries as well as an assignment of certain contractual rights.  The terms of our indebtedness restrict the manner in which our business is conducted, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the making of investments, the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions, entering into certain affiliate transactions and the sale of assets.
 
In the event that (A) there is a change in control by which (i) any party other than our present shareholders becomes the beneficial owner of more than 35.0% of our total voting power; (ii) we agree to sell substantially all of our operating assets; or (iii) there is a change in the composition of a majority of our Board of Directors; and (B) on the 60th day following any such change of control the rating of the Senior Notes is either withdrawn or downgraded from the rating in effect prior to the announcement of such change of control, we can be required to repurchase the Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
 
Page 76

 
At any time prior to May 15, 2008, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the fixed rate Senior Notes with the proceeds of any public equity offering at a price of 108.25% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.  In addition, prior to May 15, 2009, we may redeem all or a part of the fixed rate Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of such notes, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

As of June 30, 2007, Standard & Poor’s senior unsecured debt rating for our Senior Notes remained unchanged from December 31, 2006 at B+, with a corporate credit rating of BB- / positive, up from BB- / stable at December 31, 2006.  At June 30, 2007, Moody’s Investors Service’s rating of both our corporate credit rating and our Senior Notes due 2012 was Ba3 stable.

(2)
On July 21, 2006, we entered into a five-year revolving loan agreement for EUR 100.0 million (approximately US$ 135.1 million) arranged by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “Loan”).  ING Bank N.V. (“ING”) and Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“CS”) are participating in the facility for EUR 50.0 million in aggregate.

The Loan bears interest at a rate of three-month EURIBOR plus 2.75% on the drawn amount.  The available amount of the Loan amortizes by 7.5% every six months from May 2008 to November 2009, then by 15% in May 2010 and November 2010, and by 40% in May 2011. There were no drawings under this facility as at June 30, 2007, however the entire EUR 100.0 million was drawn on April 18, 2007 and subsequently repaid on June 1, 2007.

Covenants contained in the Loan are in line with those contained in our Senior Notes.  In addition, the Loan’s covenants restrict us from making principal repayments on other debt of greater than US$ 20.0 million per year for the life of the Loan.  This restriction is not applicable to our existing facilities with ING or CS or to any refinancing of our Senior Notes.

The Loan is a secured senior obligation and ranks pari passu with all existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Senior Notes, and is effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries.  The amount drawn is guaranteed by two subsidiary holding companies and is secured by a pledge of shares of those subsidiaries as well as an assignment of certain contractual rights.  The terms of the Loan restrict the manner in which our business is conducted, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the making of investments, the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions, entering into certain affiliate transactions and the sale of assets.

(3)
On March 28, 2007, we repaid EUR 0.6 million (approximately US$ 0.8 million), which was the total amount outstanding to our Croatia operations under two loan agreements with Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank d.d. Following this repayment, the security held by the bank was released.
 
(4)
CET 21 has a four-year credit facility of CZK 1.2 billion (approximately US$ 56.4 million) with Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“CS”).  The final repayment date is October 31, 2009.  This facility may, at the option of CET 21, be drawn in CZK, US$ or EUR and bears interest at the three-month, six-month or twelve-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), EURIBOR or Prague Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“PRIBOR”) rate plus 1.95%.  This facility is secured by a pledge of receivables, which are also subject to a factoring arrangement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s., a subsidiary of CS.  As at June 30, 2007, there were no drawings under this facility, however on July 10, 2007, CZK 860.0 million (approximately US$ 40.4 million) was drawn down under this facility and on July 31, 2007, CZK 260.0 million (approximately US$ 12.7 million) was repaid.
 
(5)
CET 21 has a working capital credit facility of CZK 250.0 million (approximately US$ 11.8 million) with CS.  This working capital facility bears interest at the three-month PRIBOR rate plus 1.65% and is secured by a pledge of receivables, which are also subject to a factoring arrangement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. On June 30, 2007, the full CZK 250.0 million (approximately US$ 11.8 million) was drawn under this facility bearing interest at an aggregate 4.65% (three-month PRIBOR effective for this loan was 3.00%).

Page 77

 
(6)
As at June 30, 2007, there were no drawings under a CZK 300.0 million (approximately US$ 14.1 million) factoring facility with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s., a subsidiary of CS.  This facility is available until June 30, 2010 and bears interest at the rate of one-month PRIBOR plus 1.40% for the period that actively assigned accounts receivable are outstanding.

(7)
As at June 30, 2007, an amount of RON 97 thousand (approximately US$ 40 thousand) was outstanding under a loan agreement from one of the founding shareholders of Sport.ro. The loan is interest free and is repayable in equal monthly instalments by August 31, 2007.

(8)
A revolving five-year facility agreement was entered into by Pro Plus for up to EUR 37.5 million (approximately US$ 50.6 million) in aggregate principal amount with ING Bank N.V., Nova Ljubljanska Banka d.d., Ljubljana and Bank Austria Creditanstalt d.d., Ljubljana.  The facility availability amortizes by 10.0% each year for four years commencing one year after signing, with 60.0% repayable after five years.  This facility is secured by a pledge of the bank accounts of Pro Plus, the assignment of certain receivables, a pledge of our interest in Pro Plus and a guarantee of our wholly-owned subsidiary CME Media Enterprises B.V.  Loans drawn under this facility will bear interest at a rate of EURIBOR for the period of drawing plus a margin of between 2.1% and 3.6% that varies according to the ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated broadcasting cash flow for Pro Plus.  As at June 30, 2007, EUR 33.8 million (approximately US$ 45.6 million)  was available for drawing under this revolving facility; there were no drawings outstanding.

(9)
Our Ukraine (KINO, CITI) operations have entered into a number of three-year unsecured loans with Glavred-Media, LLC, the minority shareholder in Ukrpromtorg.  As at June 30, 2007, the total value of loans drawn was US$ 1.7 million.  The loans are repayable between August 2009 and December 2009 and bear interest at 9.0%.

Capital Lease Obligations

Capital lease obligations include future interest payments of US$ 1.9 million.  For more information on our capital lease obligations see Part I, Item 1, Note 11.

Operating Leases

For more information on our operating lease commitments see Part 1, Item 1, Note 18.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

Unconditional purchase obligations largely comprise future programming commitments.  At June 30, 2007, we had commitments in respect of future programming of US$ 117.3 million (December 31, 2006: US$ 98.0 million).  This includes contracts signed with license periods starting after June 30, 2007.  For more information on our programming commitments see Part I, Item 1, Note 18.
 
Other Long-Term Obligations

Included in Other Long-Term Obligations are our commitments to the Dutch tax authorities of US$ 3.9 million (see Part I, Item 1, Note 18).

In addition to the amounts disclosed above, Mr. Sarbu has the right to sell his remaining shareholding in Pro TV and MPI to us under a put option agreement entered into in July 2004 at a price to be determined by an independent valuation, subject to a floor price of US$ 1.45 million for each 1.0% interest sold.  Mr. Sarbu’s right to put his remaining shareholding is exercisable from November 12, 2009, provided that we have not enforced a pledge over this shareholding which Mr. Sarbu granted as security for our right to put our interest in Media Pro. As at June 30, 2007, we consider the fair value of Mr. Sarbu’s put option to be approximately US$ nil (2006: US$ nil).

V (d) Cash Outlook

We issued EUR 370.0 million (approximately US$ 480.0 million at the time of issuance) Senior Notes in May 2005, consisting of EUR 245.0 million of Senior Fixed Rate Notes and EUR 125.0 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes. Our EUR 125 million Senior Floating Rate Notes were redeemed on May 15, 2007. On May 16, 2007 we issued new floating rate Senior Notes due November 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 150.0 million. We have significant debt service obligations in respect of the Senior Notes. The terms of our indebtedness restrict the manner in which our business is conducted, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the making of investments, the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions, entering into certain affiliate transactions and the sale of assets.  Net cash proceeds from the issuance of new shares of our Class A Common Stock of US$ 168.6 million in March 2006 significantly reduced our net debt at that time and provided a useful source of funds to allow investment flexibility, including acquisitions better suited to equity rather than debt financing.  On July 21, 2006, we entered into a five-year EUR 100.0 million revolving loan facility (the EBRD Loan Agreement), which, once fully drawn, can be used for general corporate purposes to further increase our financing flexibility, and will reduce our average cost of debt.  The full amount of the facility was drawn on April 18, 2007 and subsequently repaid on June 1, 2007 and remains available for re-drawing.

Our future cash needs will depend on our overall financial performance, debt service requirements under the Senior Notes, the EBRD Loan Agreement as well as under other indebtedness incurred by us as well as any future acquisition, investment and development decisions.  Our ability to raise further funds through external debt facilities depends on our satisfaction of leverage ratios under the Senior Notes, which are also incorporated into the drawing conditions of the EBRD Loan Agreement.  In the short-term we are able to fund our operations from cash generated from operations, our current cash resources (US$ 116.7 million, at June 30, 2007) and available undrawn credit facilities (US$ 251.2 million, at June 30, 2007).
 
We expect to invest US$ 75-80 million on capital expenditure in 2007 and approximately US$ 10 million in furthering the development of our non-broadcast operations. Any further significant acquisitions could be financed through the issues of additional external debt or equity depending on prevailing market conditions at the time.

Our Croatia operations continue to require funding to improve our ratings performance and increase our market share.  We expect the funding required to support Nova TV (Croatia) to be in excess of US$ 26.0 million during 2007, and have provided US$ 5.1 million in cash funding to Nova TV (Croatia) in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our Ukraine (KINO, CITI) operations continue to require funding in order to achieve improved ratings and market share.  We expect the funding required to support KINO and CITI to be in excess of US$ 7.0 million during 2007, and have provided US$ 3.0 million in cash funding to KINO and CITI in the three months ended June 30, 2007.

We expect that, taken together, our current cash balances, internally generated cash flow, committed bank facilities, and local financing of broadcast operations should result in us having adequate cash resources to meet our debt service and other existing financial obligations for the next 12 months.  The acquisition of additional shareholdings in our current operations, further investment in the expansion of existing operations, acquisitions, or other investments in the development of new revenue opportunities may require further financing.  To the extent we will need additional financing, we would expect to raise such financing through issuing additional debt or equity.

V (e) Tax Inspections

Pro Plus has been the subject of an income tax inspection by the Republic of Slovenia tax authorities for the years 1995 to 1998.  As a result of these inspections the Slovenian tax authorities had levied an assessment seeking unpaid income taxes, customs duties and interest charges of an amount equivalent to EUR 4.5 million  (approximately US$ 6.1 million). The Slovenian authorities have asserted that capital contributions and loans made by us to Pro Plus in 1995 and 1996 should be extraordinary revenue to Pro Plus.  On this basis, the Slovenian authorities claim that Pro Plus made a profit in 1995 and 1996 for which it owes income taxes and interest.  Additionally, the Slovenian tax authorities claim that the fixed assets imported as capital contributions were subject to customs duties, which were not paid.  On February 9, 2001, the Slovenian tax authorities concluded that the cash capital contributions for 1995 and 1996 were not extraordinary income. This has reduced the
 
Page 79

 
assessment to an amount equivalent to EUR 2.7 million (approximately US$ 3.6 million) in aggregate principal amount.  Pro Plus appealed this decision to the Administrative Court in Ljubljana and requested the tax authorities to defer the demand for payment until a final judgment has been issued, and the tax authorities have so agreed.  On April 18, 2005, the Administrative Court issued a decision in favor of Pro Plus and dismissed the claims of the tax authorities.  The tax authorities filed an appeal with the Slovenian Supreme Court in May 2005. The Slovenian Supreme Court denied the appeal in June 2007 and remanded the case back to the tax authorities. We do not have a provision in our financial statements in relation to this legal action.

VI.  Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies affecting our financial condition and results of operations are more fully described in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make judgments in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe our critical accounting policies relate to program rights, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, income taxes, foreign exchange and contingencies.  These critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.  There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2006.

Recently adopted accounting principles

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  The evaluation of a tax position under FIN 48 is a two-step process.  The first step is recognition: Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return should be recognized only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.  In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold, it should be presumed that the position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority and that they would have full knowledge of all relevant information.  The second step is measurement: Tax positions that meet the recognition criteria are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a liability of approximately US$ 2.0 million for unrecognized tax benefits, of which US$ 1.7 million was accounted for as a reduction to retained deficit as at January 1, 2007.  The total amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate amounts to US$ 2.0 million, all of which would reduce the effective tax rate accordingly.

We recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. As at January 1, 2007, we accrued US$ 1.8 million in respect of interest and penalties, of which US$ 1.5 million was accounted for as a reduction to retained deficit.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We engage in activities that expose us to various market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  We do not regularly engage in speculative transactions, nor do we regularly hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management

We conduct business in a number of foreign currencies, although our functional currency is the US Dollar, and our Senior Notes are denominated in Euros.  As a result, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to the effects that foreign exchange rate movements of these currencies have on our costs and on the cash flows we receive from certain subsidiaries.  In limited instances, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign currency exchange rate risk.

We have not attempted to hedge the Senior Notes and therefore may continue to experience significant gains and losses on the translation of the Senior Notes into US dollars due to movements in exchange rates between the Euro and the US dollar.

On April 27, 2006, we entered into currency swap agreements with two counterparties whereby we swapped a fixed annual coupon interest rate (of 9.0%) on notional principal of CZK 10.7 billion (approximately US$ 503.3 million), payable on July 15, October 15, January 15, and April 15, to the termination date of April 15, 2012, for a fixed annual coupon interest rate (of 9.0%) on EUR 375.9 million (approximately US$ 507.6 million) receivable on July 15, October 15, January 15, and April 15, to the termination date of April 15, 2012.

The fair value of these financial instruments as at June 30, 2007 was a US$ 0.5 million liability.

These currency swap agreements reduce our exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates on a part of the CZK-denominated cash flows generated by our Czech Republic operations that is approximately equivalent in value to the EUR-denominated interest payments on our Senior Notes (see Part I, Item 1, Note 5).  They are financial instruments that are used to minimize currency risk and are considered an economic hedge of foreign exchange rates.  These instruments have not been designated as hedging instruments as defined under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and so changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and in the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities.

Interest Rate Risk Management

As at June 30, 2007, we have six tranches of debt that provide for interest at a spread above a base rate EURIBOR or PRIBOR, and four tranches of debt which were maintained with a fixed interest rate.  A significant rise in the EURIBOR or PRIBOR base rate would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

General

We are, from time to time, a party to litigation that arises in the normal course of our business operations.  Other than those claims discussed below, we are not presently a party to any such litigation which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or operations. Unless otherwise disclosed, no provision has been made against any potential losses that could arise.

We present below a summary of our more significant proceedings by country.

Croatia

Global Communications Disputes
 
On October 29, 2004, OK filed suit against Global Communications d.o.o. claiming approximately HRK 53.0 million (approximately US$ 9.8 million) in damages.  Global Communications is a company controlled by Ivan Caleta, who had previously operated Nova TV (Croatia) through OK.  Global Communications, together with GRP Media d.o.o., another company controlled by Mr. Caleta, had provided certain goods and services to OK and Nova TV (Croatia) in exchange for advertising time pursuant to an agreement dated April 10, 2001 (the “Global Agreement”).  Global Communications and GRP Media were functionally managing the advertising inventory of Nova TV (Croatia).  On December 31, 2003, Global Communications entered into a reconciliation agreement by which OK acknowledged that Global Communications was entitled to approximately 375,000 seconds of advertising time for goods and services previously provided.  Following our acquisition of Nova TV (Croatia) and OK in July 2004, OK concluded that Global Communications had used all of its seconds by June 2004 based on a substantial discrepancy discovered between the utilization of advertising time recorded by Global Communications and that recorded by AGB Puls, an independent television audience measurement service operating in Croatia.  In the course of its investigation of the usage of seconds by Global Communications, OK discovered that computer records of advertising seconds kept for OK may have been altered.  OK brought a suit to recover amounts for advertising time used by Global Communications in excess of the 375,000 seconds agreed.  Global Communications filed a counterclaim in January 2005 for HRK 68.0 million (approximately US$ 12.5 million), claiming that the AGB data is unreliable and that it is entitled to additional seconds under the previous agreement. The lower commercial court issued a judgment on July 12, 2006 in favor of Global Communications for the full amount of the counterclaim, and we have appealed this decision on the basis of false and inadequate disclosure, wrongful application of substantive law and procedural error.  Global Communications separately brought a claim against Nova TV (Croatia), on the same basis as the OK counterclaim.  Both Global Communications and Nova TV (Croatia) requested the court to join this claim with the OK counterclaim but this request was denied.  The lower commercial court issued a judgment on August 1, 2006 in favor of Global Communications for the full amount of the claim, after having denied submission of evidence supporting our defense.  We have also appealed this decision. We have accrued for the amounts we expect to be ultimately payable as a result of having commenced settlement negotiations with Global Communications. Any such settlement would also include a settlement of the former shareholder dispute described below.

On January 25, 2007, Nova TV (Croatia) filed suit against Global Communications. The facts underlying the claim are substantially the same as those of the abovementioned claims, but Nova TV (Croatia) is claiming that the Global Agreement and the two reconciliation agreements dated April 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 (the “Reconciliation Agreements”), by which OK acknowledged the number of seconds of advertising time to which Global Communications was purportedly entitled, should be declared null and void under Article 141 of the Croatian Obligations Act. This provision is intended to protect a contractual party which has entered into unfair bargaining terms due to its dependency on the other contractual party.  Global Communications, OK and Nova TV (Croatia) were all related parties (controlled by Ivan Caleta) and the contractual terms provided for the provision of 1,340,280 seconds by OK to Global Communications in exchange for certain transmitters. These seconds were valued at an aggregate of DEM 5 million (or DEM 3.73 per second; HRK 3.91 per second at the time) whereas the rate card price was DEM 97.18 or HRK 380.00 per second (i.e. a price that was 26 times higher). Other clients (unrelated parties) sampled from this period were paying between 382.50 HRK to 491.85 HRK per second. Nova TV (Croatia) is arguing for voidance of this contract because of its unconscionable terms which were detrimental to OK and Nova TV (Croatia) and beneficial solely to Global Communications (which, in its capacity as an advertising agency, on-sold these seconds to its clients at market rates, thereby reaping an extraordinary profit).  Nova TV (Croatia) is further claiming restitution for advertising seconds appropriated by Global Communications under the Global Agreement. The restitution amount is HRK 586.5 million (approximately US$ 108.2 million). The first hearing has been scheduled for September 24, 2007.

Former Shareholder Dispute

On July 21, 2005, Narval A.M. d.o.o. (a company wholly-owned by Ivan Caleta), Studio Millenium d.o.o. and Richard Anthony Sheldon, three of the former shareholders of OK, filed suit against Nova TV (Croatia) for rescission of the sale and purchase contract pursuant to which they sold 75% of OK to Nova TV (Croatia) in July 2004 (the “OK Sale Contract”).  Nova TV (Croatia) acquired OK immediately prior to our acquiring Nova TV (Croatia).  The provisions of the OK Sale Contract required Nova TV (Croatia) to make payment to the four shareholders of OK by September 1, 2004, upon receipt of appropriate invoices and bank account details.  The fourth shareholder, Pitos d.o.o., issued an invoice that was duly received by Nova TV (Croatia) and payment was made thereunder.  The other three shareholders claim that they hand-delivered a joint invoice to one of the former directors of Nova TV (Croatia), but we continue to dispute this.  Under the Croatian Obligations Act, one party to a contract who has performed may unilaterally rescind a contract if the other party fails to perform after receipt of a written warning.  On May 24, 2006, the lower commercial court decided in favor of the plaintiffs to rescind the OK Sale Contract and ordered the defendant to pay court costs.  We have appealed the decision on the basis that evidence supporting our position was not allowed to be presented to the court and we continue to challenge the validity of the power of attorney purportedly issued by Richard Anthony Sheldon (a resident of the United Kingdom) to legal counsel representing the other plaintiffs.

On August 28, 2006, we received a lower court decision of an injunction against us (decided without a hearing) that, inter alia, prohibits a sale or encumbrance of 75% of the shares of OK.  Although we appealed this decision, the appellate commercial court upheld the lower court’s judgment on November 21, 2006.  On November 6, 2006, we were notified of a request for a further injunction that would, inter alia, prohibit us from taking any actions to decrease the value of OK and require the management of OK to report to a delegate of the former shareholders. We have unsuccessfully sought the removal of the presiding judge, Raul Dubravec (who also presided over the Global Communications lawsuit against Nova TV (Croatia)). Mr. Dubravec ruled against us on December 18, 2006, requiring imposition of a temporary director for OK, which is not a remedy available under Croatian law under the facts of this action. Further, the temporary director who has been appointed is one of the former directors of OK who countersigned the Reconciliation Agreements and is an associate of Ivan Caleta. Our appeal against this decision was denied on May 8, 2007. While we continue to vigorously contest all these actions in the face of serious concerns as to the impartiality of the Croatian judicial system, we have commenced settlement negotiations with the former shareholders of OK.

Slovenia

On November 20, 2002, we received notice of a claim filed by Mrs. Zdenka Meglic, the founder and a former shareholder of MMTV 1 d.o.o (MMTV), against MMTV, a subsidiary of CME Media Enterprises B.V.  In her claim against MMTV, Mrs. Meglic is seeking an amount equal to EUR 0.8 million (approximately US$ 1.1 million) for repayment of monies advanced to MMTV from 1992 to 1994 (in the amount of approximately SIT 29.0 million (approximately US$ 0.2 million)) plus accrued interest.  On September 9, 2004, the court of first instance found against MMTV and issued a judgment requiring MMTV to pay an amount equal to EUR 0.8 million (approximately US$ 1.1 million) plus interest as well as costs.  On September 24, 2004, MMTV filed an appeal against the judgment.  On December 15, 2004, the appellate court vacated the judgment of the lower court and returned the case for further proceedings. A hearing has been scheduled for September 4, 2007.  We do not believe that Mrs. Meglic will prevail and will continue to defend the claim.

Ukraine

On October 13, 2005, Igor Kolomoisky filed a lawsuit against Alexander Rodnyansky and Studio 1+1 in a district court in Kiev.  Our Ukrainian affiliate Intermedia was joined in the proceedings as a “third party”.  Igor Kolomoisky was attempting to enforce what he alleges was a binding oral agreement with Alexander Rodnyansky to purchase the latter’s 70.0% interest in Studio 1+1 for consideration of US$ 70.0 million and to transfer that interest to Igor Kolomoisky on receipt of a prepayment of US$ 2.0 million.  The lawsuit arose from abortive negotiations among Igor Kolomoisky, Alexander Rodnyansky and Boris Fuchsmann for the acquisition by Igor Kolomoisky of the totality of interests in the Studio 1+1 Group held by Alexander Rodnyansky and Boris Fuchsmann, subject to Igor Kolomoisky assuming all of their obligations under our existing partnership arrangements.  On August 16, 2006, the district court in Kiev ruled in favor of Igor Kolomoisky and found that he is entitled to the 70% interest in Studio 1+1 held by Alexander Rodnyansky. Our Ukrainian affiliate Intermedia and Alexander Rodnyansky filed appeals against this decision.

At a hearing on October 31, 2006, the appellate court overturned the decision of the court of first instance and denied Igor Kolomoisky’s claim that he is entitled to a 70% interest in Studio 1+1 held by Alexander Rodnyansky.  On November 3, 2006, Igor Kolomoisky filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Ukraine, the highest court in Ukraine.  At a hearing on February 28, 2007, the Supreme Court rejected this appeal.

On April 4, 2007 the Supreme Court of Ukraine agreed to hear an extraordinary appeal from Igor Kolomoisky against the decision made on February 28, 2007 and the decision of the Court of Appeals of the city of Kiev made on October 31, 2006.  At a hearing on May 25, 2007, the Supreme Court denied this extraordinary appeal.  As a result of this decision, Igor Kolomoisky has no further rights to pursue this claim against Rodnyansky in the Ukrainian courts.

On December 23, 2005, we initiated proceedings against our partners Alexander Rodnyansky and Boris Fuchsmann in order to enforce our contractual rights and compel a restructuring of the ownership of Studio 1+1 in order to permit us to hold a 60% interest in Studio 1+1 through a subsidiary organized in Ukraine.  Initiation of this proceeding followed protracted negotiations with our partners to restructure following confirmation from the Ukraine Media Council that our proposed ownership structure would not be in violation of restrictions on foreign ownership contained in the Ukraine Media Law, which restricts direct (but not indirect) investment by foreign persons in Ukrainian broadcasters to 30%.  On January 12, 2006, the Ukraine parliament adopted an amended version of the Ukraine Media Law that clarifies the absence of any restriction on indirect foreign ownership of television broadcasters.  This amended Ukraine Media Law came into force in March 2006.  Our partners have acknowledged an obligation to restructure upon the entry into force of these amendments. Our partners have entered into certain agreements to implement the restructuring of the ownership of the Ukrainian operations of the Studio 1+1 Group.  Following the completion of the transactions reflected in these agreements and the registration of the charter of Studio 1+1 amended to reflect the new ownership of Studio 1+1, our ownership interest in Studio 1+1 (direct and indirect) will be 60%. Upon successful completion of the restructuring, we will terminate the proceedings initiated against our partners in December 2005.

Ongoing ancillary litigation to enjoin transactions related to the ownership of Studio 1+1 has been initiated by third parties who are not direct parties in interest to legal proceedings initiated by Igor Kolomoisky against Alexander Rodnyansky.  The state registrar in the district administration in Kiev where charters are registered has declined to register amendments to the charter of Studio 1+1, including in respect of the restructured ownership agreed with our partners (see Part 1, Item 1, Note 1, Ukraine (Studio 1+1)) on the basis of injunctions that have been lodged by such third parties.  We do not believe that there is any legal basis for permitting such injunctions to be enforced or for refusing to register the amended charter of Studio 1+1 and have initiated a lawsuit against the district administration in Kiev to compel it to register the amendments to the Studio 1+1 charter.  A hearing in this matter is scheduled for August 2, 2007.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

This Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties  See “Forward-looking Statements” in Part I, Item 2. Our actual results in the future could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements  as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q.

Risks Relating to our Operations

We do not have management control of our affiliate in Ukraine

We own our operations in Ukraine jointly with our partners through subsidiaries and affiliates.  In Studio 1+1, we hold only an indirect 18% ownership interest. As a result, we do not have an ownership interest that is sufficient to allow us to assert management control or unilaterally direct the strategies, operations and financial decisions of this company.  Therefore, our ability to implement all financial reporting and management processes that exist in our other operations requires the active cooperation of our partners. Their consent is also required for decisions affecting the sale of advertising and sponsorship, acquisition of programming, investment in production, scheduling decisions, the retention and dismissal of key employees as well as other operational issues, including ensuring compliance with relevant tax and other obligations of Studio 1+1. Our inability to obtain any required consent may result in Studio 1+1 being in breach of such tax or other obligations or may result in decisions being adopted that do not fully reflect our strategic objectives.  In the absence of such consent, we may not be able to cause Studio 1+1 to adopt decisions in respect of the advertising and sponsorship also, programming, production, scheduling, personnel or otherwise that we believe are necessary in order to respond to competitive market dynamics in Ukraine for audience share and advertising, which may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our operating results depend on our ability to generate advertising sales generally and, in the Czech Republic, to fully implement our advertising sales strategy

We generate almost all of our revenues from the sale of advertising airtime on our television channels.  Our advertising revenues in general depend on the pricing of our advertising time as well as other factors, including television viewing levels, changes in audience preferences, our stations’ technical reach, technological developments relating to media and broadcasting, competition from other broadcasters and other media operators, seasonal trends in the advertising market in the countries in which we operate, and shifts in population and other demographics.  Advertisers generally use gross ratings points to measure television viewing levels.  Our ability to generate gross ratings points depends on our offering programming which appeals to our target audiences, responding to technological developments in media, competing effectively with other broadcasters seeking to attract similar audiences and managing the impact of any seasonal trends.

In order to maintain and increase our advertising sales, it will be necessary to fully implement our advertising sales strategy in the Czech Republic (see Part I, Item 2, “Analysis of Segment Results, Czech Republic”) and to respond successfully to changes in other factors affecting advertising sales generally, especially in Ukraine, in order to maintain and increase our advertising sales. Any decline in advertising sales due to a failure to respond to such changes or to successfully implement the advertising sales strategies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our revenue generating operations are located in Central and Eastern Europe.  These markets pose different risks from those posed by investments in more developed markets and the impact in our markets of unforeseen circumstances on economic, political or social life is greater.  Countries in this region have economic and political systems, legal and tax regimes, standards of corporate governance and business practices that continue to develop.  Government policies may be subject to significant adjustments, especially in the event of a change in leadership, which may result in social or political instability or disruptions, potential political influence on the media, inconsistent application of tax and legal regulations, arbitrary treatment before judicial or other regulatory authorities and other general business risks.  Other potential risks inherent in markets such as ours with changing economic and political environments include exchange controls, higher tariffs and other levies, as well as longer payment cycles.

The relative level of development of our markets and the influence of local parties also presents a potential for biased treatment of us before regulators or courts in our markets in the event of disputes involving our investments.  If such a dispute occurs, those regulators or courts might favor local interests over our interests.  Ultimately, this could lead to loss of our business operations, as occurred in the Czech Republic in 1999.  We are involved in certain disputes with some of the former shareholders of our Croatia operations and some of these shareholders may also challenge a restructuring that we have undertaken in response to a request from the Croatian Media Council.  The ability of certain of these shareholders to exert influence on local institutions may create a potential for biased treatment of us.  An adverse outcome in the Global Communications lawsuit (see Part II, Item I Item 3, “Legal Proceedings, Croatia”) or a successful challenge to the restructuring could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our broadcasting licenses may not be renewed and may be subject to revocation

We require broadcasting and, in some cases, other operating licenses as well as other authorizations from national regulatory authorities in our markets in order to conduct our broadcasting business.  We cannot guarantee that our current licenses or other authorizations will be renewed or extended, or that they will not be subject to revocation, particularly in Ukraine, where there is relatively greater political risk as a result of less developed political and legal institutions.  The failure to comply in all material respects with the terms of broadcasting licenses or other authorizations or with applications filed in respect thereto may result in such licenses or other authorizations not being renewed or otherwise being terminated.  Furthermore, no assurances can be given that renewals or extensions of existing licenses will be issued on the same terms as existing licenses or that further restrictions or conditions will not be imposed in the future.

Our current broadcasting licenses expire at various times between 2007 and 2017.  Any non-renewal or termination of any other broadcasting or operating licenses or other authorizations or material modification of the terms of any renewed licenses may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be aware of all related party transactions; such transactions may involve risks of conflicts of interest and of concluding transactions on less favorable terms than could be obtained in arms length transactions

In Romania and Ukraine, the local shareholders and/or general directors of our television operating companies are individuals with other business interests in those countries, including interests in television and other media related companies.  Our operating companies’ transacting with such companies, whether or not we are aware that our local shareholders and general directors have an interest in such companies, may present conflicts of interests which may in turn result in the conclusion of transactions on terms that are not arms length. In addition, some related party receivables have been collected more slowly than unrelated third party receivables, which has resulted in slower cash flow to our operating companies. It is likely that our subsidiaries will continue to enter into related party transactions in the future. As a result, there is a risk that some related party transactions may be entered into on terms that are not arms length, which may result in a negative impact on results of operations and cash flows. In the event there are transactions with persons who subsequently are determined to be related parties, we may be required to make additional disclosure and, if such contracts are material, may not be in compliance with certain covenants under the Senior Notes and the EBRD Loan Agreement.
 
Page 87

 
We may not be able to prevent our general directors from entering into transactions that are outside their authority and not in the best interests of shareholders

The general directors of our operating companies have significant management authority on a local level, subject to the overall supervision by the corresponding company board of directors.  In the past our internal controls have detected transactions that have been concluded by a general director acting outside his authority.  Internal controls are not able to prevent a general director from acting outside his authority, particularly if a related party relationship remains undisclosed to us.  There is therefore a risk that a general director may act outside his authority and that our operating companies will enter into transactions that are not duly authorized.  Unauthorized transactions may not be in the best interests of our shareholders and may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

We may seek to make acquisitions of other stations, networks, content providers or other companies in the future, and we may fail to acquire them on acceptable terms or successfully integrate them or we may fail to identify suitable targets

Our business and operations continue to experience rapid growth, including through acquisition. The acquisition and integration of new businesses pose significant risks to our existing operations, including:

 
·
Additional demands placed on our senior management, who are also responsible for managing our existing operations;

 
·
Increased overall operating complexity of our business, requiring greater personnel and other resources;

 
·
Difficulties of expanding beyond our core expertise, in the event that we acquire content providers or other ancillary businesses;

 
·
Significant initial cash expenditures to acquire and integrate new businesses; and

 
·
In the event that debt is incurred to finance acquisitions, additional debt service costs related thereto as well as limitations that may arise under our Senior Notes and the EBRD Loan Agreement.

To effectively manage our growth and achieve pre-acquisition performance objectives, we will need to integrate any new acquisitions, implement financial and management controls and produce required financial statements in those operations.  The integration of new businesses may also be difficult for a variety of reasons, including differing cultures or management styles, poor internal controls and an inability to establish control over cash flows.  If any acquisition and integration is not implemented successfully, our ability to manage our growth will be impaired and we may have to make significant additional expenditures to address these issues, which could harm our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.   Furthermore, even if we are successful in integrating new businesses, expected synergies and cost savings may not materialize, resulting in lower than expected profit margins.

Our operating results are dependent on the importance of television as an advertising medium

We generate almost all of our revenues from the sale of advertising airtime on television channels in our markets.  In the advertising market, television competes with various other advertising media, such as print, radio, the internet and outdoor advertising.  In all of the countries in which we operate, television constitutes the single largest component of all advertising spending.  There can be no assurances that the television advertising market will maintain its current position among advertising media in our markets or that changes in the regulatory environment or technology will not favor other advertising media or other television broadcasters.  Increases in competition among advertising media arising from the development of new forms of advertising media and distribution could result in a decline in the appeal of television as an advertising medium generally or of our channels specifically.  A decline in television advertising spending in any period or in specific markets could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
 
Page 88

 
Our operating results are dependent on general economic conditions

The results of our operations rely heavily on advertising revenue and demand for advertising is affected by prevailing general economic conditions.  Adverse economic conditions generally and downturns in the economies of our operating countries specifically are likely to negatively impact the advertising industries in those countries and, consequently, the results of our operations.  In addition, disasters, acts of terrorism, civil or military conflicts or general political uncertainty may create economic uncertainty that reduces advertising spending.  Although recently there has been growth in the economies of our operating countries, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue or that any such improvement in general economic conditions will generate increased advertising revenue for our group.  Global and local downturns in the general economic environment may cause our customers to reduce the amounts they spend on advertising, which could result in a decrease in demand for our advertising airtime.  This would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our programming content may become more expensive to produce or acquire or we may not be able to develop or acquire programming content that is attractive to our audiences

Television programming is one of the most significant components of our operating costs.  The commercial success of our channels depends substantially on our ability to develop, produce or acquire syndicated television programming content that matches audience tastes, attracts high audience shares and generates advertising revenues.  Our programming costs or requirements may increase in response to increased competition from existing and new television broadcasting channels for such programming or related talent.  The costs of acquiring programming content attractive to our viewers, such as feature films and popular television series and formats, may increase as a result of such competition.  In addition, our expenditure in respect of locally produced programming content may increase due to the implementation of new laws and regulations mandating the broadcast of a greater number of locally produced programs, changes in audience tastes in our markets in favor of locally produced content, and competition for talent.  In addition, we typically acquire syndicated programming rights under multi-year commitments before we can predict whether such programming will perform.  In the event any such programming does not attract adequate audience share, it may be necessary to write down the value of such programming.  Any such increase in programming costs or write-downs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our operations are subject to significant changes in technology that could adversely affect our business

Countries in which we have operations have plans to migrate from analogue terrestrial broadcasting to digital terrestrial broadcasting.  Each country has independent plans with differing time frames and regulatory regimes.  The specific timing and approach to implementing such plans to be employed in our markets is not fully known and we cannot predict the timing or effect of such migration on our existing operations or predict our ability to receive any additional rights or licenses to broadcast if such additional rights or licenses should be required under any relevant regulatory regime.  We may be required to commit substantial financial and other resources to the implementation of new technologies.  We may be required to make substantial additional capital investment in order to implement digital terrestrial broadcasting and the use of alternative distribution systems may require us to acquire additional distribution and content rights. We may not have access to resources sufficient to make such investments when required.
 
Page 89


The television broadcasting industry may be affected by rapid innovations in technology.  The implementation of new technologies and the introduction of broadcasting distribution systems other than analogue terrestrial broadcasting, such as digital broadcasting, cable and satellite distribution systems, the internet, video-on-demand and the availability of television programming on portable digital devices, have fragmented television audiences in more developed markets and could adversely affect our businesses.  In addition, compression techniques and other technological developments allow for expanded programming offerings to be offered to highly targeted audiences.  Reductions in the cost of creating additional channel capacity could lower entry barriers for new channels and encourage the development of increasingly targeted niche programming on various distribution platforms.  Our television broadcasting operations may be required to expend substantial financial and managerial resources on the implementation of new broadcasting technologies or distribution systems.  In addition, an expansion in competition due to technological innovation may increase competition for audiences and advertising revenue as well as the competitive demand for programming.  Any requirement for substantial further investment for digitalization or to address competition that arises on account of technological innovations in broadcasting may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Our success depends on attracting and retaining key personnel

Our success depends partly upon the efforts and abilities of our key personnel and our ability to attract and retain key personnel.  Our management teams have significant experience in the media industry and have made an important contribution to our growth and success.  The loss of the services of any of these individuals could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flow.  Although we have been successful in attracting and retaining such people in the past, competition for highly skilled individuals is intense.  There can be no assurance that we will continue to be successful in attracting and retaining such individuals in the future.

Risks Relating to our Financial Position

Our increased debt service obligations following the issuance of the Senior Notes may adversely affect our business

Our leverage has been significantly increased with the issuance of the Senior Notes (see Part I, Item 1, Note 5). As a result, we have significant debt service obligations and we are restricted in the manner in which our business is conducted.  Our high leverage could have important consequences to our business and results of operations, including but not limited to the following: our vulnerability to a downturn in our business or economic and industry conditions has increased; our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, business opportunities and other corporate requirements has been limited.  We may have a higher level of debt than certain of our competitors, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage; a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations is required to be dedicated to the payment of principal of, and interest on, our indebtedness, which means that this cash flow is not available to fund our operations, capital expenditures or other corporate purposes; and our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the competitive environment and the industry in which we operate has been limited. Any of these or other consequences or events could have a material adverse effect on our ability to satisfy our debt obligations and would therefore have potentially harmful consequences for the development of our business and strategic plan.

We may require additional external sources of capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms

The acquisition, ownership and operation of television broadcasting operations requires substantial capital investment.  Our total capital requirements are based on our estimates of future operating results, which are based on a variety of assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate.  If our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, if our assumptions or plans change, or if our costs increase due to competitive pressures or other unanticipated developments, we may need to obtain additional financing.  Sources of financing may include public or private debt or equity financings, proceeds from the sale of assets or other financing arrangements.  In addition, it is not possible to ensure that such financings will be available within the limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness contained in the Indentures pursuant to which our Senior Notes were issued in 2005 (the “2005 Indenture”) and in 2007 (the “2007 Indenture”) or pursuant to the terms of the EBRD Loan Agreement (see Part I, Item 1, Notes 5 and 11).  Any additional equity or equity-linked financings may dilute the economic interest of the holders of our Common Stock.  Furthermore, such financings may not be available on acceptable terms.

Page 90


Under the Senior Notes and the EBRD Loan Agreement, we have pledged shares in our two principal subsidiary holding companies that hold substantially all of our assets and a default on our obligations could result in our inability to continue to conduct our business

Pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Indenture, the 2007 Indenture and the EBRD Loan Agreement, we have pledged shares in our two principal subsidiary holding companies, which own substantially all of our interests in our operating companies, including the TV Nova (Czech Republic) group, Pro TV, Markiza, Pro Plus and Studio 1+1.  If we were to default on the 2005 Indenture, the 2007 Indenture or the EBRD Loan Agreement, the trustees under our Indentures or the EBRD would have the ability to sell all or a portion of all of these assets in order to pay amounts outstanding under our Indentures or the EBRD Loan Agreement.

Our cash flow and capital resources may not be sufficient for future debt service obligations

Our ability to make debt service payments under our Senior Notes and other indebtedness depends on our future operating performance and our ability to generate sufficient cash, which in turn depends in part on factors that are not within our control, including general economic, financial, competitive, market, legislative, regulatory and other factors.  If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we would face substantial liquidity problems and we may be obliged to reduce or delay capital or other material expenditures at our stations, restructure our debt, obtain additional debt or equity capital (if available on acceptable terms), or dispose of material assets or businesses to meet our debt service and other obligations. It may not be possible to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all.

We are subject to risks relating to fluctuations in exchange rates

Our reporting currency is the US dollar but a significant portion of our consolidated revenues and costs, including programming rights expenses and interest on debt, are in other currencies.  Furthermore, the functional currency of our operations in Romania and Ukraine is the US dollar.  This is subject to annual review and new circumstances that may be identified during these annual reviews may result in use of functional currencies in these markets that differ from our reporting currency.  In addition, our Senior Notes are denominated in Euros.  We have not attempted to hedge the Senior Notes.  We have in the past and may therefore in the future continue to experience significant gains and losses on the translation of the Senior Notes into US dollars due to movements in exchange rates between the Euro and the US dollar.

If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings

We review our amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.  Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually.  Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable include a decline in stock price and market capitalization, future cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry.  We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined resulting in a negative impact on our results of operations.

Our holding company structure may limit our access to cash

We are a holding company and we conduct our operations through subsidiaries and affiliates.  The primary internal source of our cash to fund our operating expenses as well as service our existing and future debt depends on debt repayments from our subsidiaries, the earnings of our operating subsidiaries, earnings generated from our equity interest in certain of our affiliates and distributions of such earnings to us.  Substantially all of our assets consist of ownership of and loans to our subsidiaries and affiliates.  We currently rely on the repayment of intercompany indebtedness and the declaration of dividends to receive distributions of cash from our operating subsidiaries and affiliates.  The distribution of dividends is generally subject to conformity with requirements of local law, including the funding of a reserve account and, in certain instances, the affirmative vote of our partners.  If our operating subsidiaries or affiliates are unable to distribute to us funds to which we are entitled, we may be unable to cover our operating expenses.  Such inability would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
 
Page 91

 
Risks Relating to Enforcement Rights

We may not be able to enforce our indemnification rights in a timely manner

Under the purchase agreement for the TV Nova (Czech Republic) group, PPF and certain of its affiliates have agreed to indemnify us for a limited period of time up to the full amount of the purchase price paid by us for the TV Nova (Czech Republic) group for a series of events and circumstances, including claims relating to taxes and claims brought by certain former shareholders of the TV Nova (Czech Republic) group.  If we make an indemnification claim and we do not receive an indemnification payment or if such payment is delayed or contested, it may have a material adverse effect on our ability to make any required repayments under the terms of the Senior Notes or other indebtedness or may adversely affect our results of operations.

Enforcement of civil liabilities and judgments may be difficult

Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. is a Bermuda company, and substantially all of our assets and all of our operations are located, and all of our revenues are derived, outside the United States of America.  In addition, several of our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are or may be located outside the United States.  As a result, investors may be unable to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in the United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities laws.  There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Bermuda and the countries in which we operate would enforce (i) judgments of United States courts obtained against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities laws or (ii) in original actions brought in such countries, as applicable, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the United States federal and state securities laws.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

CME Holdco L.P. is in a position to decide corporate actions that require shareholder approval and may have interests that differ from those of other shareholders

CME Holdco L.P. owns all our outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each of which carries 10 votes per share.  Ronald Lauder, the chairman of our Board of Directors, is the majority owner of CME Holdco L.P. and, subject to certain limitations described below, is entitled to vote those shares on behalf of CME Holdco L.P.  The shares over which Ronald Lauder has voting power represent 64.8% of the aggregate voting power of our Common Stock.  On September 1, 2006, Adele (Guernsey) L.P., a fund affiliated with Apax Partners, acquired 49.7% of CME Holdco L.P.  Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement of CME Holdco L.P., Adele (Guernsey) L.P. has certain consent rights in respect of the voting and disposition of the shares of Class B Common Stock.  CME Holdco L.P. is in a position to control the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, such as the election of directors, including two recommended by Adele (Guernsey) L.P., and transactions involving a change of control.  The interests of CME Holdco L.P. may not be the same as those of other shareholders, and such shareholders will be unable to affect the outcome of such corporate actions for so long as CME Holdco L.P. retains voting control.

The price of our Class A Common Stock is likely to remain volatile

The market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including those described above under “Risks Relating to our Business and Operations” and including the following: license renewals, general economic and business trends, variations in quarterly operating results, regulatory developments in our operating countries and the EU, the condition of the media industry in our operating countries, the volume of trading in shares of our Class A Common Stock, future issuances of shares of our Class A Common Stock, investor and securities analyst perception of us and other companies that investors or
Page 92


securities analysts deem comparable in the television broadcasting industry.  In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to and disproportionate to the operating performance of broadcasting companies.  These broad market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our Class A Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance.
 
Our share price may be adversely affected by potential future issuances and sales of our shares

As at June 30, 2007, we have a total of 1.0 million options to purchase Class A Common Stock outstanding and 0.1 million options to purchase Class B Common Stock outstanding.  An affiliate of PPF holds 3,500,000 unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock.  We cannot predict what effect, if any, the issuance of shares underlying options, the entry into trading of such unregistered shares or any future sales of our shares will have on the market price of our shares.  If more shares are issued, the economic interest of current shareholders may be diluted and the price of our shares may be adversely affected.

The risks described here are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and / or operating results.
