PLAYBOY ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial information included in these financial statements is
unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all normal recurring and
other adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods. The interim results of operations and cash flows are not
necessarily indicative of those results and cash flows for the entire year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes to the financial statements contained in our Form 10-K
Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Certain amounts
reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current
year's presentation.
(B) RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES
In 2002, we announced a Company-wide restructuring initiative in order to
reduce our ongoing operating expenses. The restructuring resulted in a workforce
reduction of approximately 11%, or 70 positions. In connection with the
restructuring, we reported a $5.7 million charge in 2002, of which $2.9 million
related to the termination of 53 employees. The remaining positions were
eliminated through attrition. The initiative also involved consolidation of our
office space in Los Angeles and Chicago, resulting in a charge of $2.8 million.
Of the total $5.7 million of costs related to this restructuring plan,
approximately $1.3 million was paid by March 31, 2003, with most of the
remainder to be paid in 2003 with some payments continuing through 2007.
In 2001, we implemented a restructuring plan in anticipation of a
continuing weak economy. The plan included a reduction in workforce coupled with
vacating portions of certain office facilities by combining operations for
greater efficiency, refocusing sales and marketing, outsourcing some operations
and reducing overhead expenses. Total restructuring charges of $4.6 million were
recorded, including, in 2002, a $0.9 million unfavorable adjustment to the
previous estimate due primarily to a change in sublease assumptions. The
restructuring resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 15%, or 104
positions, with more than half of these employees from the Online Group. Of the
$4.6 million charge, $2.6 million related to the termination of 88 employees.
The remaining positions were eliminated through attrition. The charge also
included $2.0 million related to the excess space in our Chicago and New York
offices. Of the total $4.6 million of costs related to this restructuring plan,
approximately $3.6 million was paid by March 31, 2003, with most of the
remainder to be paid in 2003 with some payments continuing through 2007.

(E) MINORITY INTERESTS
Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflected "Minority interests"
of $36.9 million and $9.7 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
respectively. The amount at March 31, 2003 included two series of Holdings
preferred stock, which were issued in March 2003 as discussed below, and a
series of preferred stock of Playboy.com, Inc., or Playboy.com. In connection
with the sale of the senior secured notes in March 2003, we restructured the
outstanding indebtedness of Playboy.com owed to Mr. Hefner. Three promissory
notes in the aggregate of $27.2 million were extinguished in exchange for $0.5
million in cash and two series of Holdings preferred stock. On May 1, 2003, we
exchanged the Holdings Series A Preferred Stock for 1,122,209 shares of Playboy
Class B stock and exchanged the Holdings Series B Preferred Stock for 1,674
shares of a new series of preferred stock of Playboy, which we refer to as
Playboy Preferred Stock.
(F) CONTINGENCIES
On February 17, 1998, Eduardo Gongora, or Gongora, filed suit in state
court in Hidalgo County, Texas against Editorial Caballero SA de CV, or EC,
Grupo Siete International, Inc., or GSI, collectively the Editorial Defendants,
and us. In the complaint, Gongora alleged that he was injured as a result of the
termination of a publishing license agreement, or the License Agreement, between
us and EC for the publication of a Mexican edition of Playboy magazine, or the
Mexican Edition. We terminated the License Agreement on or about January 29,
1998 due to EC's failure to pay royalties and other amounts due us under the
License Agreement. On February 18, 1998, the Editorial Defendants filed a
cross-claim against us. Gongora alleged that in December 1996 he entered into an
oral agreement with the Editorial Defendants to solicit advertising for the
Mexican Edition to be distributed in the United States. The basis of GSI's
cross-claim was that it was the assignee of EC's right to distribute the Mexican
Edition in the United States and other Spanish-speaking Latin American countries
outside of Mexico. On May 31, 2002, a jury returned a verdict against us in the
amount of $4.4 million. Under the verdict, Gongora was awarded no damages. GSI
and EC were awarded $4.1 million in out-of-pocket expenses and $0.3 million for
lost profits, respectively, even though the jury found that EC had failed to
comply with the terms of the License Agreement. On October 24, 2002, the trial
court signed a judgment against us for $4.4 million plus pre- and post-judgment
interest and costs. On November 22, 2002, we filed post-judgment motions
challenging the judgment in the trial court. The trial court overruled those
motions and we are vigorously pursuing an appeal with the State Appellate Court
sitting in Corpus Christi challenging the verdict. We have posted a bond in the
amount of approximately $7.7 million (which represents the amount of the
judgment, costs and estimated pre- and post-judgment interest) in connection
with the appeal. We, on advice of legal counsel, believe that it is not probable
that a material judgment against us will be sustained. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or Statement, 5, Accounting for
Contingencies, no liability has been accrued.

(I) SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On March 11, 2003, Holdings issued $115.0 million of 11.00% senior secured
notes due 2010. The payment obligations under the senior secured notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured
basis, by us and by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries, referred to
as the guarantors, excluding Playboy.com and its subsidiaries. All of our
remaining subsidiaries, referred to as the nonguarantors, are wholly-owned by
the guarantors except for Playboy.com, which is a majority-owned subsidiary. The
following supplemental Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the
quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 and the Condensed Consolidating Balance
Sheets at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the Condensed Consolidating
Statements of Cash Flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, present
financial information for (a) us (carrying our investment in Holdings under the
equity method), (b) Holdings (the issuer of the senior secured notes) (carrying
its investment in the guarantors under the equity method), (c) on a combined
basis the guarantors (carrying any investment in nonguarantors under the equity
method) and (d) on a combined basis the nonguarantors. Separate financial
statements of the guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are
jointly, severally, and unconditionally liable under the guarantees, and we
believe that separate financial statements and other disclosures regarding the
guarantors are not material to investors. In general, Holdings has entered into
third-party borrowings and financed its subsidiaries via intercompany accounts.
All intercompany activity has been included as "Net receipts from (payments to)
subsidiaries" in the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows. In
certain cases, taxes have been calculated on the basis of a group position that
includes both guarantors and nonguarantors. In such cases, the taxes have been
allocated to individual legal entities based upon each legal entity's actual
contribution to the tax provision.

===============================================================================
Our revenues increased primarily due to higher subscription revenues in
the Online Group and the sale of an original Salvador Dali painting in the
Licensing Group in the current year quarter. The comparison also reflected the
expected increase of Entertainment Group revenues as a result of consolidating
Playboy TV International, LLC, or PTVI, in the current year quarter in
connection with the December 2002 restructuring of the ownership of our
international TV joint ventures.
The significant improvement in operating income for the quarter was due to
better performance from the Online, Licensing and Publishing Groups. Lower
Corporate Administration and Promotion expenses also contributed.
14
We reported net income of $0.6 million for the current year quarter
compared to a net loss of $9.4 million in the prior year quarter. The current
year quarter included $3.3 million of debt extinguishment expenses in connection
with our former financing obligations. The prior year quarter included a $5.8
million noncash income tax charge related to our adoption of Statement 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Several of our businesses can experience variations in quarterly
performance. As a result, our performance in any quarter is not necessarily
reflective of full-year or longer-term trends. Playboy magazine newsstand
revenues vary from issue to issue, with revenues generally higher for holiday
issues and any issues including editorial or pictorial features that generate
unusual public interest. Advertising revenues also vary from quarter to quarter
depending on economic conditions, product introductions by advertising
customers, holiday issues and changes in advertising buying patterns. E-commerce
revenues are typically impacted by the holiday buying season and decreased
Internet traffic during the summer months.
ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
The following discussion focuses on the profit contribution of each of our
Entertainment Group businesses before programming expense.
Revenues from our domestic TV networks business decreased $1.4 million, or
5%, in part due to digital churn related to customer resistance to pricing,
which results in reduced audience access. In addition, consistent with the
experience of other pay content providers, theft of service, particularly on DTH
platforms, is negatively impacting buy rates. The operators are clearly focusing
greater efforts on this issue. Profit contribution decreased $1.0 million
primarily due to the decrease in revenues combined with higher distribution
costs, partially offset by lower marketing costs.
Our networks were available as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Each household unit is defined as one household carrying one given network
per carriage platform. A single household can represent multiple household
units if two or more of our networks and/or multiple platforms (i.e.
digital and analog) are available to that household.
(2) We obtained 100% distribution rights of Playboy TV en Espanol in the U.S.
Hispanic market in December 2002 in connection with the restructuring of
the ownership of our international TV joint ventures.
Profit contribution from our international TV business increased $1.0
million on a $5.3 million increase in revenues as the current year quarter was
the first quarter where we consolidated international TV operations as a result
of the December 2002 restructuring of the ownership of our international TV
joint ventures. The prior year quarter included $3.2 million in licensing fees
from the PTVI joint venture, at which time we owned a minority interest.
Profit contribution from our worldwide home video business decreased $0.9
million on a $1.5 million, or 56%, decrease in revenues primarily due to a large
sale of backlist titles in the prior year quarter combined with fewer titles
released in the current year quarter. Revenues from this business are expected
to continue to be lower compared to the prior year.
15
PUBLISHING GROUP
Playboy magazine revenues decreased $0.3 million, or 1%, due to slightly
lower advertising revenues as a result of fewer ad pages. Ad sales for the 2003
second quarter magazine issues are closed, and we expect to report 2% lower ad
revenues and 12% fewer ad pages compared to the 2002 second quarter. However, ad
sales are expected to be higher for the full year 2003 compared to 2002.
Circulation revenues were basically flat as lower subscription revenues were
mostly offset by higher newsstand revenues.
Revenues from our other domestic publishing businesses increased $0.2
million, or 9%, primarily due to up-pricing of special editions.
The group's segment performance increased $0.9 million as lower
manufacturing costs, driven by fewer pages and lower paper prices, combined with
lower editorial costs more than offset a decrease in advertising profitability.
ONLINE GROUP
The Online Group's revenues increased $2.9 million, or 45%, as
subscription revenues more than doubled to $4.1 million mainly due to the growth
of Playboy Cyber Club, in terms of both up-pricing and members, as well as the
launch of new clubs. Additionally, e-commerce revenues were $0.9 million, or
33%, higher as a result of the timing of Spice and Playboy mailings. The group
reported segment income of $0.3 million in the current year quarter compared to
a loss of $3.6 million in the prior year quarter. This improvement was
attributable to the higher revenues combined with a lower cost structure.
LICENSING GROUP
Segment income from our Licensing Group increased $2.8 million on a
revenue increase of the same primarily due to the sale of an original painting
by Salvador Dali for $1.9 million. Higher royalties from our international
licensed branded products business also contributed to the improvements.
CORPORATE ADMINISTRATION AND PROMOTION
Corporate Administration and Promotion expenses decreased $0.7 million, or
19%, in part reflecting our continued focus on cost control measures.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2003, we had $27.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$115.0 million in total financing obligations compared to $4.1 million in cash
and cash equivalents and $92.5 million in total financing obligations at
December 31, 2002. The financing obligations at December 31, 2002 included $27.2
million in obligations payable to Mr. Hefner. As discussed below, we and Mr.
Hefner agreed to exchange his $27.2 million of promissory notes issued by
Playboy.com for a cash payment of $0.5 million and $26.7 million in preferred
stock, issued by one of our subsidiaries, Holdings.
Our liquidity requirements are being provided by the cash and cash
equivalents generated from our private offering of $115.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of senior secured notes. In addition, we have a $20.0 million
revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2003, there were no borrowings and $11.6
million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.
DEBT FINANCINGS
On March 11, 2003, we completed the private offering of $115.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes through one of our
subsidiaries, Holdings. The notes mature on March 15, 2010 and bear interest at
the rate of 11.00% per annum, with interest payable on March 15th and September
15th of each year, beginning September 15, 2003. On March 11, 2003, Holdings
also entered into a new revolving credit facility, through which we are
permitted to borrow up to $20.0 million in revolving borrowings, issue letters
of credit or a combination of both.
16
FINANCING FROM RELATED PARTY
At December 31, 2002, Playboy.com had an aggregate of $27.2 million of
outstanding indebtedness to Mr. Hefner in the form of three promissory notes.
Upon the closing of the senior secured notes offering on March 11, 2003,
Playboy.com's debt to Mr. Hefner was restructured. One promissory note, in the
amount of $10.0 million, was extinguished in exchange for shares of a new series
of Series A preferred stock of Holdings, which we refer to as the Holdings
Series A Preferred Stock, with an aggregate stated value of $10.0 million. We
were required to exchange the Holdings Series A Preferred Stock for shares of
Playboy Class B stock. The two other promissory notes, in a combined principal
amount of $17.2 million, were extinguished in exchange for $0.5 million in cash
and shares of a new series of Series B preferred stock of Holdings, which we
refer to as the Holdings Series B Preferred Stock, with an aggregate stated
value of $16.7 million. We were required to exchange the Holdings Series B
Preferred Stock for shares of Playboy Preferred Stock.
In order to issue the Playboy Preferred Stock, we were required to amend
our certificate of incorporation to authorize the issuance, which we refer to as
the certificate amendment. In accordance with applicable law, Mr. Hefner, the
holder of more than a majority of our outstanding Class A voting common stock,
approved the certificate amendment by written consent. Under federal securities
laws, the certificate amendment could not become effective prior to the 20th
calendar day following the mailing to our stockholders of an information
statement that complied with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
rules. This information statement was mailed on April 10, 2003. As a result, on
May 1, 2003, we filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation and
exchanged the Holdings Series A Preferred Stock for 1,122,209 shares of Playboy
Class B stock and exchanged the Holdings Series B Preferred Stock for 1,674
shares of Playboy Preferred Stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of
the Holdings Series A and B Preferred Stock, respectively.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used for operating activities was $4.6 million for the quarter
primarily due to a reduction in accounts payable.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used for investing activities was $0.6 million for the quarter
primarily due to additions to property and equipment.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by financing activities was $28.3 million for the
quarter principally due to proceeds of $115.0 million related to the private
offering of senior secured notes, partially offset by payment of $6.4 million of
related financing fees, repayment of former financing obligations of $65.8
million and payment of $14.2 million of acquisition liabilities.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q Quarterly Report contains "forward-looking statements,"
including statements in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" as to expectations, beliefs, plans,
objectives and future financial performance, and assumptions underlying or
concerning the foregoing. We use words such as "may," "will," "would," "could,"
"should," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "expects," "plans,"
"anticipates," "intends," "continues" and other similar terminology. These
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors, which could cause our actual results, performance or outcomes to
differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking
statements. The following are some of the important factors that could cause our
actual results, performance or outcomes to differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements:
(1) foreign, national, state and local government regulation, actions or
initiatives, including:
(a) attempts to limit or otherwise regulate the sale, distribution or
transmission of adult-oriented materials, including print, video and
online materials,
(b) limitations on the advertisement of tobacco, alcohol and other
products which are important sources of advertising revenue for us,
or
(c) substantive changes in postal regulations or rates which could
increase our postage and distribution costs;
17
(2) risks associated with our foreign operations, including market acceptance
and demand for our products and the products of our licensees and our
ability to manage the risk associated with our exposure to foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations;
(3) changes in general economic conditions, consumer spending habits, viewing
patterns, fashion trends or the retail sales environment which, in each
case, could reduce demand for our programming and products and impact our
advertising revenues;
(4) our ability to protect our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual
property;
(5) risks as a distributor of media content, including our becoming subject to
claims for defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright, patent
or trademark infringement, and other claims based on the nature and
content of the materials distributed;

connection with financings or acquisitions;
(7) competition for advertisers from other publications, media or online
providers or any decrease in spending by advertisers, either generally or
with respect to the adult male market;
(8) competition in the television, men's magazine and Internet markets;
(9) attempts by consumers or private advocacy groups to exclude our
programming or other products from distribution;
(10) the television and Internet businesses' reliance on third parties for
technology and distribution, and any changes in that technology and/or
unforeseen delays in its implementation which might affect our plans and
assumptions;
(11) risks associated with losing access to transponders and competition for
transponders and channel space;
(12) the impact of industry consolidation, any decline in our access to, and
acceptance by, DTH and/or cable systems and the possible resulting
deterioration in the terms, cancellation of fee arrangements or pressure
on margin splits with operators of these systems;
(13) risks that we may not realize the expected operating efficiencies,
synergies, increased sales and profits and other benefits from
acquisitions and the restructuring of our international TV joint ventures;
(14) risks associated with the impact that the financial condition of Claxson
Interactive Group Inc., our venture partner, may have on our Playboy
TV-Latin America, LLC joint venture;
(15) increases in paper or printing costs;
(16) effects of the national consolidation of the single-copy magazine
distribution system; and
(17) uncertainty of the viability of the Internet subscription, e-commerce,
advertising and gaming businesses.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Effective with the refinancing of our financing obligations, which
occurred on March 11, 2003, we no longer have any floating interest rate
exposure. All of our current debt is represented by the senior secured notes,
which are fixed rate obligations. Therefore, the fair value of the $115.0
million senior secured notes will be influenced by changes in market rates and
our credit quality. As of March 31, 2003, the fair value of the notes
approximated their carrying value.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or the Exchange Act) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing
date of this quarterly report, or the Evaluation Date. Based on such evaluation,
such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to
material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries,
that is required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in
our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such
controls.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 17, 1998, Gongora filed suit in state court in Hidalgo County,
Texas against the Editorial Defendants and us. In the complaint, Gongora alleged
that he was injured as a result of the termination of the License Agreement
between us and EC for the publication of the Mexican Edition. We terminated the
License Agreement on or about January 29, 1998 due to EC's failure to pay
royalties and other amounts due us under the License Agreement. On February 18,
1998, the Editorial Defendants filed a cross-claim against us. Gongora alleged
that in December 1996 he entered into an oral agreement with the Editorial
Defendants to solicit advertising for the Mexican Edition to be distributed in
the United States. The basis of GSI's cross-claim was that it was the assignee
of EC's right to distribute the Mexican Edition in the United States and other
Spanish-speaking Latin American countries outside of Mexico. On May 31, 2002, a
jury returned a verdict against us in the amount of $4.4 million. Under the
verdict, Gongora was awarded no damages. GSI and EC were awarded $4.1 million in
out-of-pocket expenses and $0.3 million for lost profits, respectively, even
though the jury found that EC had failed to comply with the terms of the License
Agreement. On October 24, 2002, the trial court signed a judgment against us for
$4.4 million plus pre- and post-judgment interest and costs. On November 22,
2002, we filed post-judgment motions challenging the judgment in the trial
court. The trial court overruled those motions and we are vigorously pursuing an
appeal with the State Appellate Court sitting in Corpus Christi challenging the
verdict. We have posted a bond in the amount of approximately $7.7 million
(which represents the amount of the judgment, costs and estimated pre- and
post-judgment interest) in connection with the appeal. We, on advice of legal
counsel, believe that it is not probable that a material judgment against us
will be sustained. In accordance with Statement 5, Accounting for Contingencies,
no liability has been accrued.
On May 17, 2001, Logix Development Corporation, or Logix, D. Keith
Howington and Anne Howington filed suit in state court in Los Angeles County
Superior Court in California against Spice Entertainment Companies, Inc., or
Spice, Emerald Media, Inc., or EMI, Directrix, Inc., or Directrix, Colorado
Satellite Broadcasting, Inc., New Frontier Media, Inc., J. Roger Faherty, Donald
McDonald, Jr. and Judy Savar. On February 8, 2002, plaintiffs amended the
complaint and added as a defendant Playboy, which acquired Spice in 1999. The
complaint alleged 11 contract and tort causes of action arising principally out
of a January 18, 1997 agreement between EMI and Logix in which EMI agreed to
purchase certain explicit television channels broadcast over C-band satellite.
The complaint further seeks damages from Spice based on Spice's alleged failure
to provide transponder and uplink services to Logix. Playboy and Spice filed a
motion to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint. The court sustained Playboy's motion as
to plaintiffs' fraud and conspiracy claims, but not as to plaintiffs' claims of
tortious interference with contract and imposition of constructive trust and
granted plaintiffs leave to amend. On June 10, 2002, plaintiffs filed their
first amended complaint. In the first amended complaint, plaintiffs allege that
the various defendants, including Playboy and Spice, were alter egos of each
other. The complaint purports to seek unspecified damages in excess of $10
million. On May 31, 2002, Directrix filed for bankruptcy and on July 8, 2002,
Directrix removed the action to the Central District of California Bankruptcy
Court. The case was subsequently remanded to state court on October 31, 2002.
Discovery has only very recently resumed in the action. Playboy and Spice filed
motions to dismiss the first amended complaint and a hearing on the motions took
place on February 5, 2003. On April 4, 2003, the California Superior Court
granted Playboy's motion to dismiss without leave to amend and a final judgment
dismissing Playboy has been submitted to the court. Spice's motion to dismiss
was denied, but we are moving for reconsideration of that ruling. We intend to
vigorously defend against these claims and we believe we have good defenses to
them. At this preliminary point in the action, however, it is not possible to
determine if there is any potential liability or whether any liability may be
material or is likely.
On September 26, 2002, Directrix filed suit in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in the Southern District of New York against Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc.
In the complaint, Directrix alleged that it was injured as a result of the
termination of a Master Services Agreement under which Directrix was to perform
services relating to the distribution, production and post production of our
cable networks and a sublease agreement under which Directrix would have
subleased office, technical and studio space at our Los Angeles, California
production facility. Directrix also alleged that we breached an agreement under
which Directrix had the right to transmit and broadcast certain versions of
films through C-band satellite, commonly known as the TVRO market, and Internet
distribution. On November 15, 2002, we filed an answer denying Directrix's
allegations and filed counterclaims against Directrix seeking damages in
connection with the Sublease Agreement and Directrix's breach of the Master
Services Agreement. On January 7, 2003, Directrix moved to dismiss one of our
counterclaims. Both sides have commenced discovery. We intend to vigorously
defend ourselves against Directrix's claims. We believe the claims are without
merit and that we have good defenses against them. We believe it is not probable
that a material judgment against us will result.
