STATEMENT TO FORM 12B-25
Directrix reported a net loss of $2.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to a net loss of $0.8 million for the
corresponding period in 1999. The increase in net loss was primarily
attributable to a decrease in revenue from EMI of $0.8 million. Also
contributing to the increase in net loss was the inclusion of a gain on the sale
of Playboy stock of approximately $0.5 million in the net loss for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. Increases in salary expense, library amortization,
satellite expense, depreciation expense and interest expense of approximately
$0.1 million each were offset by a decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses of approximately $0.5 million.
The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease
in revenue associated with the recording of EMI revenue based on cash receipts
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to recording EMI revenue
based on contractual amounts for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was
primarily attributable to a decrease in provision for bad debt expense relating
to EMI of $0.2 million and the inclusion of approximately $0.2 million of
expense associated with the issuance of stock options to non-employee directors
recorded in the three months ended June 30, 1999.
