majority of the loss in 2004 related to our investment in Prima TV,

Net Income
Our net income decreased euro 3,743, from euro 18,130 in
the second
quarter of 2004 to euro 14,387 in the second quarter of 2005, mainly due to
the non

Our Print operations had increased
net revenues of euro 1,350, or 4%,
mainly due to increased subscription income coming from an increase
in
magazine prices.
Our Print operations increased income by euro 1,221, from euro 5,804 in
the first half of 2004 to euro 7,025 in the first half of 2005. The foreign exchange loss in the

our
Swedish holding company to fund the acquisition of C More. In the first half
of 2004, we redeemed

the first half of 2005, we defeased the
remaining outstanding Senior Notes and

extinguishment had not occurred in either 2004 or
