PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Entertainment Distribution Company, Inc.
Entertainment Distribution Company, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Entertainment Distribution Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Entertainment Distribution Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein and in our report dated March 11, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

1. Business and Basis of Presentation
Entertainment Distribution Company, Inc., together with its wholly owned and controlled majority owned subsidiaries (“EDCI” or the “Company”), is a multi-national company in the manufacturing and distribution segment of the entertainment industry. We have one reportable business segment operated by our subsidiary, Entertainment Distribution Company, LLC (“EDC”). EDC provides pre-recorded products and distribution services to the entertainment industry. The primary customer of EDC is Universal Music Group (“Universal”).
Our operations formerly included our Wireless Messaging (“Paging”) business, which we began exiting in May 2001, and our Glenayre Messaging (“Messaging”) business, substantially all of the assets of which were sold in December 2006. Consequently, the operating results of the Paging and Messaging segments are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. We believe all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended. The financial statements include the accounts of EDCI and its wholly-owned as well as its controlled majority-owned, subsidiaries and have been prepared from records maintained by EDCI and its subsidiaries in their respective countries of operation. The consolidated accounts include 100% of the assets and liabilities of its majority owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as minority interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
2. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications have had no effect on net income (loss) previously reported.
4. Inventories
Inventories, net related to our continuing operations at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consisted of:
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 5,336 | $ | 7,180 | ||||
Finished goods | 542 | 644 | ||||||
Work in process | 1,522 | 1,287 | ||||||
Total | $ | 7,400 | $ | 9,111 | ||||
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, reserves were approximately $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

5. Investments
Investments are comprised of various debt security instruments including corporate bonds, short-term notes, euro dollar bonds and auction-rate securities. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and based on our ability to market and sell these instruments, we classify auction-rate securities (as discussed below) and other investments in debt securities as available-for-sale and carry them at fair market value. Changes in the fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with our investment policy, we have invested in debt securities with issuers who have high-quality credit and limit the amount of investment exposure to any one issuer. We seek to preserve principal and minimize exposure to interest-rate fluctuations by limiting default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk.
The following table presents the fair market value amounts, by major security types for our investments in debt securities:
June 30, 2008 | December 31, 2007 | |||||||
Fair Value | Fair Value | |||||||
Auction-rate securities | $ | 1,300 | $ | 10,800 | ||||
Corporate bonds | 5,123 | 6,913 | ||||||
Short-term notes | 7,936 | 4,889 | ||||||
Certificates of deposit | — | 2,000 | ||||||
Commercial paper | — | 2,487 | ||||||
Municipal bonds | — | 1,492 | ||||||
Euro dollar bonds | 1,006 | 1,008 | ||||||
Total investments | $ | 15,365 | $ | 29,589 | ||||
Auction-rate securities represent interests in collateralized debt obligations with high-quality credit ratings, the majority of which are collateralized by bonds and other financial instruments. Liquidity for these auction-rate securities is typically provided by an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually every 7, 28, 35 or 90 days. Because of the short interest rate reset period, we record auction-rate securities as current available-for-sale securities. As of June 30, 2008, we held auction-rate securities which experienced failed auctions in fiscal 2008. All securities that had failed auctions had experienced at least one successful auction in fiscal 2008 and the carrying values were not adversely affected. If the auction process fails in the future for any of our auction-rate securities, our ability to liquidate these instruments as well as the carrying value of the instruments themselves could be adversely affected.
6. Currency Rate Swap
We entered into a cross-currency rate swap agreement with a commercial bank on May 31, 2005. The Company’s objective is to manage foreign currency exposure arising from our intercompany loan to our German subsidiary, acquired in May of 2005 and is therefore for purposes other than trading. The loan is denominated in Euros and repayment is due on demand, or by May 31, 2010. In accordance with SFAS No. 52,Foreign Currency Translation, and SFAS 133, the currency swap does not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, we will report the foreign currency exchange gains or losses attributable to changes in the U.S.$/€ exchange rate on the currency swap in earnings. As of June 30, 2008, the swap is carried at its fair value, which is currently in a loss position, of approximately $8.3 million and is included in other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157,“Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The following tables illustrate assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The amount of total losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 attributable to the change in unrealized losses relating to liabilities still held at June 30, 2008 was $2.6 million.
The fair value of the currency rate swap was calculated based on mathematical approximations of market values derived from the commercial banks’ proprietary models as of a given date. These valuations and models rely on certain assumptions regarding past, present and future market conditions and are subject to change at any time. Valuations based on other models or assumptions may yield different results. At June 30, 2008, we are in a net loss position of $8.3 million on the fair value of the currency swap.
8. Long-Term Debt
EDC has a Senior Secured Credit Facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association for an aggregate principal amount of $54.0 million, consisting of a term facility of $46.5 million, and a revolving credit facility of up to $7.5 million. Substantially all of EDC’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. On March 4, 2008, EDC completed an amendment to the facility which changed the definition of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to allow for the add back of up to $9.9 million in non-cash impairment charges in calculating EBITDA for its debt covenant calculations through the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Effective May 30, 2008, the Senior Secured Credit Facility was amended to extend the revolving credit facility for one year to May 29, 2009 and to reduce the amount that may be borrowed under the revolver to $7.5 million from its previous level of $10.0 million. The term loan expires on December 31, 2010. The Senior Secured Credit Facility bears interest, at our option, at either: (a) the higher of (i) the Prime Rate in effect and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect plus1/2 of 1% and a 1.75% margin on the non-cash collateralized portion; or (b) LIBOR plus a 2.0% margin. The applicable LIBOR is determined periodically based on the length of the interest term selected by us. At June 30, 2008, $27.0 million was outstanding on the term loan and $7.5 million was outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Scheduled payments under the term loan are due on December 31 of each year.

9. Income Taxes
On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). Pursuant to FIN 48, we identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all income tax positions. The net income tax assets recognized under FIN 48 did not differ from the net assets recognized before adoption, and, therefore, we did not record an adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48.
During the first half of 2008, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $1.2 million due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitation. Of the unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of June 30, 2008, it is anticipated that over the next 12 months, various tax-related statutes of limitation will expire which will cause a $0.4 million reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits, consisting of $0.3 million in taxes and $0.1 million in accrued interest and penalties. These unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to transfer pricing. All of these uncertainties relate to discontinued operations.
We and our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. On February 6, 2008, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service of the intent to audit our 2005 federal tax return. Statutes of limitations remain open for all years beginning with: 1993 for U.S. federal and most state purposes due to unutilized NOLs; 2000 for Canada due to unutilized NOLs; 2005 for Germany; and 2006 for the UK.

11. Restructuring
During the second quarter of 2008, we implemented a plan to streamline our manufacturing operations in Blackburn, UK in order to reflect industry change and to reduce our cost base accordingly. As part of the plan, we offered a voluntary exit program to employees in selected areas. In total, the plan is expected to reduce our UK employment by approximately 15%, predominately in our manufacturing operations. As a result of these actions, we have recorded severance charges of approximately $0.5 million into cost of revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, $0.5 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the second quarter of 2008, we implemented a plan to reduce staffing at our combined manufacturing and distribution operations in Hanover, Germany in response to the scheduled loss of a customer in the third quarter of 2008. In total, the plan is expected to reduce our Germany employment by approximately 5%, predominately in our distribution operations. As a result of these actions, we have recorded severance charges of approximately $0.6 million into cost of revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, $0.6 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

12. Stockholders’ Equity
Shareholder Rights Plan —On April 2, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company entered into a Rights Agreement pursuant to which it declared a dividend of one Right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend was payable on April 14, 2008, to the stockholders of record at the close of business on that date (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company, $.01 par value (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price of $3.50 per one hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment (the “Exercise Price”). The Rights are not exercisable until the distribution date under the Rights Agreement. Until the Rights are exercised, the holders thereof will not have rights as stockholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.
The Board adopted the Rights Agreement to protect the Company’s ability to carry forward its net operating losses (the “NOLs”), which the Company believes are a substantial asset. The Rights Agreement is designed to assist in limiting the number of 5% or more owners and thus reduce the risk of a possible “change of ownership” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”). Any such “change of ownership” under these rules would limit or eliminate the ability of the Company to use its existing NOLs for federal income tax purposes. However, there is no guaranty that the objective of preserving the value of the NOLs will be achieved.
The Rights Agreement imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 4.9% or more of the Company’s then-outstanding common stock without the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Stockholders who own 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, will not trigger the Rights Agreement so long as they do not increase their ownership of the common stock after the Record Date by more than one-half of 1% of the then-outstanding common stock. A person or group that acquires shares of the Company’s common stock in excess of the above-mentioned applicable threshold, subject to certain limited exceptions, is called an “Acquiring Person.” Any rights held by an Acquiring Person are void and may not be exercised.
Share Repurchase Program— As previously disclosed, on June 4, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company announced the approval of the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of common stock of the Company over the next 12 months. The repurchase program will be funded using our available cash. Pursuant to the repurchase program, we intend to purchase shares of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in negotiated transactions as market and business conditions warrant, in compliance with securities laws and other legal requirements, and taking into consideration any potential impact our NOL Carryforward position under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the second quarter of 2008, we acquired 0.3 million shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $0.1 million under the approved plan. Separately, in the first quarter of 2008, we acquired, in a privately negotiated transaction with a non-affiliate, 1.5 million shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $0.7 million.
13. Discontinued Operations
The operating results of the Messaging and Paging segments are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we reported all of the remaining Messaging and Paging segment assets at their estimated net realizable value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The income (loss) from discontinued operations consists of operating losses incurred in the Messaging and Paging segments adjusted for a gain on disposal of the Messaging segment which includes charges for transaction costs. The first half of 2008 includes a credit of $1.2 million for expiration of tax-related statutes of limitation, offset by additional interest and the impact of foreign currency movements on tax contingencies.
14. Segment Reporting
We have only one reportable segment EDC, which consists of our CD and DVD manufacturing and distribution operations. We have two product categories: product representing the manufacturing of CDs and DVDs and services representing our distribution of CDs and DVDs. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of estimated results for a full fiscal year. The first half of each calendar year is typically the lowest point in the revenue cycle in the entertainment industry.
Universal accounted for revenues of $60.7 million and $124.7 million, or 76.4% and 76.7% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $61.1 million and $126.2 million, or 76.2% and 76.9% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and was the only customer to exceed 10% of total revenues.

15. Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or other stock-based awards during the period using the treasury stock method, if dilutive.

16. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In addition to the legal proceedings discussed below, we are, from time to time, involved in various disputes and legal actions related to our business operations. While no assurance can be given regarding the outcome of these matters, based on information currently available, we believe that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of our future operations. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Shareholder Derivative Actions —On September 6, 2006, Vladimir Gusinsky (“Gusinsky”), a Company shareholder, commenced a derivative action (the “Gusinsky Action”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against the Company (as nominal defendant) and against certain of our current and former officers and directors as defendants. The complaint, as amended in December 2006 and January 2007, purportedly on behalf of the Company, contained a variety of allegations relating to the backdating of certain stock option grants. On January 26, 2007 and February 7, 2007, two additional derivative actions were commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by two different Company shareholders, Larry L. Stoll and Mark C. Neiswender, respectively (the “Subsequent Actions”). The Subsequent Actions were identical to each other, and asserted the same claims as those asserted in the Gusinsky Action regarding a subset of the same option grants at issue in that action along with additional claims alleging violations of federal securities laws.

A Special Litigation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, following an internal investigation, concluded that there was no conclusive or compelling evidence that any of the named defendants in the lawsuits breached the fiduciary duties of care or loyalty, or acted in bad faith with respect to their obligations to the Company or its shareholders, and further concluded that it would not be in the Company’s best interest to pursue any claims with respect to these grants. The Company also restated certain financial statements as a result of this internal investigation.
On August 1, 2007, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Gusinsky Action. The plaintiffs’ time to respond to that motion was stayed while the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
On July 16, 2007, the court granted a motion filed by plaintiffs to consolidate the Subsequent Actions. On August 6, 2007, the plaintiffs in the Subsequent Actions filed an amended complaint which added several new defendants and allegations that additional grants were backdated. The claims in the amended complaint were similar to those asserted in the Gusinsky Action with additional claims alleging violations of federal securities laws relating to the challenged grants. On August 17, 2007, the Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint, in part on the grounds that the federal securities claims were time barred. On October 9, 2007, the Court granted the Company’s motion and dismissed the Subsequent Actions. On November 8, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s dismissal. On December 21, 2007, the parties to the Subsequent Actions agreed to withdraw the appeal without prejudice to re-filing it.
On January 30, 2008, all parties to the Gusinsky Action and the Subsequent Actions entered into an agreement to settle both actions. The agreement is subject to the approval of the Court. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company’s insurer will pay plaintiffs’ counsel in the Gusinsky Action and the Subsequent Actions for their fees and expenses, and will pay for the costs of notifying the Company’s shareholders of the settlement. The Company will also implement certain changes to its Equity Compensation Policy and adopt related reform policies. In exchange, the plaintiffs in both the Gusinsky Action and the Subsequent Actions will dismiss their claims with prejudice, forego any appeals and release all the defendants from all claims that were or could have been asserted in either action and arise out of or are based upon or relate in any way to any of the allegations set forth in the complaints. The papers in support of preliminary approval of the settlement were filed in the Gusinsky Action on January 31, 2008 and on April 30, 2008 the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and scheduled a settlement hearing originally for July 2, 2008, which has been postponed to August 12, 2008. The settlement agreement remains subject to the approval of the Court and will not be approved until the Court issues a final approval order.
Patent Litigation — In March 2008, EDC was served as a defendant in an action by Koninklijke Philips Electronics N. V. and U.S. Philips Corporation, pending in the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Beaumont Division, filed on January 18, 2008. This complaint was dismissed without prejudice on April 30, 2008 and a substantially similar action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “NY Complaint”) on April 30, 2008. In the NY Complaint, plaintiffs allege breach of contract for failure to pay royalties and patent infringement and claim unspecified damages and in addition to naming EDC and the Company have named James Caparro and Jordan Copland as defendants in their capacities as former and acting CEO of EDC. While the discovery process has only recently begun, EDC does not believe the complaint has merit and has indemnification rights under certain contractual arrangements covering a substantial portion of the alleged infringement. In June 2008, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. filed a similar claim with the Brunswick Regional Court in Germany against Entertainment Distribution Company GmbH, a subsidiary of EDC (“GmbH”), and certain managers of GmbH (the “German Complaint”), demanding payment of approximately $1.8 million plus interest. GmbH has indemnification rights under certain contractual arrangements covering the alleged claims. EDC and GmbH intend to vigorously defend these actions. At this early stage in these matters, the Company is not able to assess the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

17. New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007)“Business Combinations.”SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,“Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.”SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively. SFAS No. 160 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-1,“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements”that discusses how parties to a collaborative arrangement (which does not establish a legal entity within such arrangement) should account for various activities. The consensus indicates that costs incurred and revenues generated from transactions with third parties (i.e., parties outside of the collaborative arrangement) should be reported by the collaborators on the respective line items in their income statements pursuant to EITF Issue No. 99-19,“Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent.” Additionally, the consensus provides that income statement characterization of payments between the participants in a collaborative arrangement should be based upon (i) existing authoritative pronouncements; (ii) analogy to such pronouncements if not within their scope; or (iii) a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. EITF Issue No. 07-1 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009, and is to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented for collaborative arrangements existing as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impacts and disclosures of this standard, but would not expect EITF Issue No. 07-1 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,“Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”(SFAS 161). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We, from time to time, make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements reflect the expectations of management at the time such statements are made. The reader can identify such forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intend(s),” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as amended, which factors are specifically incorporated herein by this reference. All forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements and do not intend to do so.
Overview
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $79.4 million and $80.2 million, respectively, a decrease of 1.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in revenues includes a reduction of $6.5 million primarily due to volume declines from our U.S. operations, which offset the impact of favorable exchange rate fluctuations of $5.5 million. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included a loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $162.5 million and $164.2 million, respectively, a decrease of 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in revenues includes a reduction of $12.8 million primarily due to volume declines from our U.S. operations, which offset the impact of favorable exchange rate fluctuations of $11.1 million. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included a loss from continuing operations of $12.7 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007
Revenues.Revenues for the second quarter of 2008 were $79.4 million compared to $80.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. The following table illustrates the components of changes in our revenue when comparing the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 by revenue line.

Product Revenues.Product revenues were $60.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $62.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease is primarily due to volume declines in our U.S. operations offset in part by favorable exchange rate fluctuations from the strengthening of the Euro. Our U.S. operations’ CD volumes for the second quarter of 2008 were down 26.8% compared to the same period of 2007, offset partially by a 25.8% increase in DVD volumes. The decline in CD volumes reflects a continued weak retail CD market in the U.S. Our central European operations benefited from favorable exchange rate fluctuations, which offset the impact of revised pricing which went into effect in the second half of 2007 and lower revenue from our primary customer. Revenues of our UK operations in the second quarter of 2008 increased slightly compared to the second quarter of 2007 due to improved pricing and increased revenues from our primary customer.

Service Revenues.Service revenues were $18.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. Our central European operations benefited from favorable exchange rate fluctuations and improved pricing for special retail shipments, which was offset by a slight decrease in volumes in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. Our U.S. operations experienced a 15.1% decline in volumes reflecting a continued weak retail CD market in the U.S.
Gross Profit on Product Revenues and Service Revenues.Gross profits were 12.0% of revenues during the second quarter of 2008 compared to 12.2% of revenues in the second quarter of 2007. The following table shows the elements impacting our gross profit when comparing the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 by revenue line.

Product Revenues.Gross profit on product revenues was $5.3 million, or 8.8% of product revenues, in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $6.6 million, or 10.5% of product revenues, in the second quarter of 2007. The gross profit of our U.S. operations declined due to reduced production which we were not able to fully offset with cost reductions. Gross profit in our central European operations increased in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to the impact of favorable exchange rate fluctuations. The gross profit of our UK operations decreased slightly due to severance related costs recorded during the second quarter of 2008, which offset improved revenue from our primary customer.
Service Revenues.Gross profit on service revenues was $4.2 million, or 22.4% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $3.2 million, or 18.7% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2007. Our central European operations gross profit on service revenues improved in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to favorable exchange rate fluctuations and improved pricing for special retail shipments, which offset severance related costs recorded during the second quarter of 2008. Our U.S. operations gross profit on service revenue declined due to volume declines, which we were not able to fully offset with cost reductions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense (SG&A).SG&A expense was $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase is primarily due to an unfavorable impact from exchange rate changes, offset in part by lower professional fees related to stock option litigation and consulting and a decrease in compensation costs, including expense related to stock compensation and profits interests at EDC.
Amortization of Intangible Assets.Amortization expense was $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase is due to an unfavorable exchange rate impact and an adjustment to reduce the amortization period. The Company’s amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of manufacturing and distribution services agreements with original 10 year terms that EDC entered into with Universal as part of our acquisition of EDC in 2005, and agreements with various central European customers.
Other Income (Expenses)
Interest Income.Interest income in the second quarter of 2008 was $0.9 million compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. Our interest income is primarily derived from income earned on excess cash held in interest-bearing money market accounts and investments. The decrease reflects lower interest rates and cash balances during the second quarter of 2008.
Interest Expense.Interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 was $1.0 million compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. Our interest expense includes interest on our term debt, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of interest on our rebate obligations with Universal and interest due on loans to EDC by employees of our central European operations under a government regulated employee savings plan. The decrease was primarily due to a combination of lower outstanding balances and lower interest rates on our debt and reduced amortization of interest on our rebate obligations with Universal during the second quarter of 2008.

Gain (Loss) on Currency Swap, net.We recorded a gain on our currency swap of less than $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a loss of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. The currency swap is not subject to hedge accounting, instead, fluctuations in the fair value of the instrument are recorded in earnings for the period.
Gain (Loss) on Currency Transaction, net.We recorded a loss of less than $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a gain of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2007, on intercompany transactions with our international operations denominated in their local currency.
Income Taxes.We recorded income tax benefit of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a benefit of less than $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. No tax benefit has been recorded related to losses in the U.S. Additionally, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets until we reach an appropriate level of profitability in the U.S. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, we have concluded that a full valuation allowance is necessary at June 30, 2008. In the event we determine that we will be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.

Product Revenues.Product revenues were $122.8 million in the first half of 2008 compared to $127.3 million in the first half of 2007. The decrease is primarily due to volume declines in our U.S. operations offset in part by favorable exchange rate fluctuations from the strengthening of the Euro. Our central European operations experienced lower per unit pricing primarily due to revised pricing with our primary customer. Our U.S. operations’ CD volumes for the first half of 2008 were down 26.2% compared to the same period of 2007, offset partially by a 15.5% increase in DVD volumes. The decline in CD volumes reflects a continued weak retail CD market in the U.S. Revenues of our UK operations increased in the first half of 2008 due to improved pricing and increased revenues from our primary customer, offset in part by a decrease in volume from other customers.
Service Revenues.Service revenues were $39.7 million in the first half of 2008 compared to $36.9 million in the first half of 2007. Our central European operations benefited from favorable exchange rate fluctuations and improved pricing for special retail shipments. The decline in our U.S. operations was due to a 13.4% decline in volumes reflecting a continued weak retail CD market in the U.S.

Product Revenues.Gross profit on product revenues was $11.4 million, or 9.3% of product revenues, in the first half of 2008 compared to $13.3 million, or 10.4% of product revenues, in the first half of 2007. The gross profit of our U.S. operations declined due to reduced production which we were unable to fully offset with cost reductions. Gross profit in our central European operations increased compared to the first half of 2007 primarily due to the impact of favorable exchange rate fluctuations. Gross profit in our UK operations increased slightly due to improved revenues and pricing from our primary customer which offset severance related cost recorded in the first half of 2008 and lower volumes from other customers.
Service Revenues.Gross profit on service revenues was $9.4 million, or 23.7% of revenues, in the first half of 2008 compared to $7.4 million, or 20.1% of revenues, in the first half of 2007. Our central European operations gross profit on service revenues improved in the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007 primarily due to favorable exchange rate fluctuations and improved labor and cost efficiencies, offset in part by severance related costs recorded in the first half of 2008. Our U.S. operations gross profit on service revenues declined due to volume declines, which we were not able to fully offset with cost reductions. The U.S. operations benefited from a higher level of returns during the first half of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense (SG&A).SG&A expense was $25.3 million in the first half of 2008 compared to $27.5 million in the first half of 2007. The decrease is primarily due to lower professional fees related to stock option litigation and consulting and a decrease in compensation costs, including expense related to stock compensation and profits interests at EDC, offset in part by an unfavorable impact from exchange rate changes.
Amortization of Intangible Assets.Amortization expense was $4.8 million in the first half of 2008 compared to $4.1 million in the first half of 2007. The increase is due to an unfavorable exchange rate impact and an adjustment to reduce the amortization period. The Company’s amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of manufacturing and distribution services agreements with original 10 year terms that EDC entered into with Universal as part of our acquisition of EDC in 2005, and agreements with various central European customers.
Other Income (Expenses)
Interest Income.Interest income in the first half of 2008 was $2.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the first half of 2007. Our interest income is primarily derived from income earned on excess cash held in interest-bearing money market accounts and investments. The decrease reflects lower interest rates and cash balances during the first half of 2008.
Interest Expense.Interest expense in the first half of 2008 was $2.1 million compared to $2.6 million in the first half of 2007. Our interest expense includes interest on our term debt, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of interest on our rebate obligations with Universal and interest due on loans to EDC by employees of our central European operations under a government regulated employee savings plan. The decrease was primarily due to a combination of lower outstanding balances and lower interest rates on our debt and reduced amortization of interest on our rebate obligations with Universal during the first half of 2008.
Losses on Currency Swap, net.We recorded losses on our currency swap of $2.6 million and $0.7 million in the first half of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The losses are due to the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. The currency swap is not subject to hedge accounting, instead, fluctuations in the fair value of the instrument are recorded in earnings for the period.
Gain (Loss) on Currency Transaction, net.We recorded a loss of $0.6 million in the first half of 2008 compared to a gain of $0.3 million in the first half of 2007, on intercompany transactions with our international operations denominated in their local currency.

Income Taxes.We recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million in the first half of 2008 compared to a benefit of $0.1 million in the first half of 2007. The expense in the first half of 2008 relates primarily to an increase in taxable income from our central European and UK operations. No tax benefit has been recorded related to losses in the U.S. Additionally, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets until we reach an appropriate level of profitability in the U.S. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, we have concluded that a full valuation allowance is necessary at June 30, 2008. In the event we determine that we will be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Overview
At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $78.0 million. As of June 30, 2008, we had short-term investments of $15.4 million, comprised primarily of corporate bonds, short-term notes, euro dollar bonds and auction-rate securities (totaling $1.3 million). At June 30, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity were our $62.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $15.4 million of short-term investments. Our cash generally consists of money market demand deposits. We had investments in auction-rate securities held at June 30, 2008 that experienced failed auctions in fiscal 2008. All of these securities had experienced at least one successful auction in fiscal 2008. If the market for auction-rate securities were to deteriorate further in 2008, our ability to liquidate these instruments would be adversely affected.
We expect to use our cash and cash equivalents for working capital, payments of long-term debt obligations and other general corporate purposes, including the expansion and development of our existing products and markets, and potential strategic opportunities.
Derivative Activities
We entered into a cross-currency rate swap agreement with a commercial bank on May 31, 2005. The objective of this swap agreement is to manage foreign currency exposure arising from our intercompany loan to our German subsidiary, and is therefore for purposes other than trading. The loan is denominated in Euros and repayment is due on the earlier of demand or May 31, 2010. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, the currency swap does not qualify for hedge accounting. Therefore we report the foreign currency exchange gains or losses attributable to changes in the U.S.$/Euro€ exchange rate on the currency swap in earnings.
The fair value of the currency rate swap was calculated based on mathematical approximations of market values derived from the commercial banks’ proprietary models as of a given date. These valuations and models rely on certain assumptions regarding past, present and future market conditions and are subject to change at any time. Valuations based on other models or assumptions may yield different results. At June 30, 2008, we are in a net loss position of $8.3 million on the fair value of the currency swap.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities.Cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.8 million compared to $7.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to working capital changes of $8.9 million, offset in part by $3.0 million in income (adjusted for non-cash items) and increases in pension and benefit obligations of $1.3 million. The working capital changes in the first half of 2008 were primarily driven by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes of $9.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, and an increase in prepaid and other current assets of $0.6 million, offset by decreases in accounts receivable and inventory of $7.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Income (adjusted for non-cash items) improved by $1.1 million from income (adjusted for non-cash items) of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to lower professional fees related to stock option litigation and consulting costs in the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Working capital changes in the six months ended June 30, 2008 included, without limitation:
• | A decrease of $9.3 million in accounts payable for the first half of 2008, compared to a decrease of $2.0 million in the first half of 2007, primarily due to the timing of payments around the end of 2007 compared to the end of 2006 and low season production. |

Table of Contents
• | A decrease of $8.6 million in accrued liabilities and income taxes payable for the first half of 2008, compared to a decrease of $15.4 million in the first half of 2007. The first half of 2008 included payments of $6.1 million for 2006 and 2007 German income taxes and $2.6 million related to VAT taxes. The first half of 2007 included payments of $7.0 million for 2005, 2006 and 2007 German and UK income taxes, $2.0 million related to Messaging sale closing costs and $1.3 million related to a legal settlement from the Messaging business. | ||
• | An increase in prepaid and other current assets of $0.6 million for the first half of 2008, compared to an increase of $2.0 million in the first half of 2007, was primarily due to prepaid trade taxes of $2.3 million in Germany and UK prepaid income taxes of $0.3 million, offset in part by the timing of pass-through costs in Germany. | ||
• | A decrease of $7.6 million in accounts receivable for the first half of 2008 compared to a decrease of $8.3 million in the first half of 2007. Payment terms for our UK’s Universal business contractually changed from 60 days in the first half of 2007 to the current 15 days. The first half of 2008 also reflected lower sales volumes in our U.S. operations. | ||
• | A decrease of $2.0 million in inventories for the first half of 2008 compared to a decrease of $0.4 million in the first half of 2007. The 2008 decrease reflects the seasonally high year-end usage of raw materials inventories in the U.S. and UK and lower production in the U.S. |
Investing Activities.Investing activities in the first half of 2008 included capital expenditures of $1.8 million and proceeds of $23.2 million from the sale of certain investments in debt securities. Also, during the first half of 2008, $8.9 million of cash was invested in various debt securities available for sale and classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as investments.
Financing Activities.During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we made scheduled payments of $15.5 million under our long-term debt and capital lease obligations and $1.3 million under our employee loan agreements, which was comparable to the payments made in 2007 period. We also borrowed $7.5 million on our revolving credit facility and repurchased 1.8 million shares of our common stock for $0.8 million.
EDC has a Senior Secured Credit Facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association for an aggregate principal amount of $54.0 million, consisting of a term facility of $46.5 million, and a revolving credit facility of up to $7.5 million. Substantially all of EDC’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. On March 4, 2008, EDC completed an amendment to the facility which changed the definition of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to allow for the add back of up to $9.9 million in non-cash impairment charges in calculating EBITDA for its debt covenant calculations through the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Effective May 30, 2008, the Senior Secured Credit Facility was amended to extend the revolving credit facility for one year to May 29, 2009 and to reduce the amount that may be borrowed under the revolver to $7.5 million from its previous level of $10.0 million. The term loan expires on December 31, 2010. The Senior Secured Credit Facility bears interest, at our option, at either: (a) the higher of (i) the Prime Rate in effect and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect plus1/2 of 1% and a 1.75% margin on the non-cash collateralized portion; or (b) LIBOR plus a 2.0% margin. The applicable LIBOR is determined periodically based on the length of the interest term selected by us. At June 30, 2008, $27.0 million was outstanding on the term loan and $7.5 million was outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Scheduled payments under the term loan are due on December 31 of each year.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains usual and customary restrictive covenants that, among other things, permit EDC to use the revolver only as a source of liquidity for EDC and its subsidiaries and place limitations on (i) EDC’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; (ii) EDC’s ability to make any payments to EDCI in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances (other than tax distributions) and (iii) asset dispositions by EDC. It also contains financial covenants relating to maximum consolidated EDC’s and subsidiaries’ leverage, minimum interest coverage and maximum senior secured leverage as defined therein. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all such covenants, as amended, under the facility.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures amounted to approximately $1.8 million in the first half of 2008 and are anticipated to be approximately $2.0 million for the remaining six months of 2008. Anticipated expenditures in 2008 primarily relate to normal equipment and facility maintenance, replacement and upgrades and efficiency improvements.
Outlook
The difficult operating environment and economic trends that we saw in the first quarter of 2008 continued in the second quarter of 2008. This is particularly true in the U.S. market where soft retail CD sales and the relatively small number of new major releases continue to be an issue. During the second quarter of 2008, the U.S. music industry reported physical sales declines of approximately 11% compare to the second quarter of 2007, which are in line with declines experience in the first quarter of 2008. Our international operations continue to fair much better and we saw only a slight decline in unit levels from the second quarter of 2007. As a result, we expect full-year declines for our international operations to be much lower than the declines we have seen and expect in our U.S. operations. Overall, we expect the challenging and difficult operating environment to continue throughout the duration of 2008 and anticipate global industry declines of approximately 10-12% for the full year.
To offset the impact of these declines, we are continuing our cost-savings initiatives to right size our operating capacity. Through this effort, during the second quarter of 2008, we implemented restructuring plans in our UK and central European operations to reflect industry and customer base changes and to adjust our cost base accordingly. Likewise, we continue to make strong strides towards our goal of approximately $10 million in savings through the reduction of controllable expenses. Our efforts will continue towards this goal through our cost-savings initiatives and operational efficiency projects throughout the remainder of 2008.
As we enter what is historically our most active part of the year, we believe we are well positioned to meet our customers’ peak supply needs. Additionally, our goal is to ensure we are able to operate as close to capacity as we can during our peak delivery months. Accordingly, we are actively managing labor requirements, monitoring operating efficiencies and maximizing capacity utilization in each of our manufacturing and distribution operations.
In terms of our exploration of strategic opportunities for EDC, we remain open to, and continue discussions with regard to, certain transactions. These transactions, however, are unlikely to involve a divestiture of EDC, LLC in the near future. Regarding the EDCI assets, we have accelerated our search for a new business to utilize our cash and net operating losses carryforwards. While we are cautious due to the current economic environment and credit market, valuations are getting better and organizations are looking for creative solutions. There can be no assurance that a transaction will be available to EDCI on terms which EDCI finds acceptable, or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as amended, we discussed the critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We believe that there have been no significant changes to such critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to market risk arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign exchange, customer credit, and the market for auction rate securities. We do not enter into financial investments for speculation or trading purposes. We are not a party to any financial or commodity derivatives except for a cross-currency rate swap. Our exposure to market risk was discussed in theQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risksection of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended. There have been no material changes to such exposure during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the second quarter of 2008, we implemented a plan to streamline our manufacturing operations in Blackburn, UK in order to reflect industry change and to reduce our cost base accordingly.
