Member Shaolin Patriot Posted February 5, 2009 Member Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've heard on another post (non martial arts related) that Image is not long for 2009. Can someone confirm the future of Image? Image didn't exactly produce the highest quality SB titles, but at least they did release them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted February 5, 2009 Member Share Posted February 5, 2009 This is from a news report from yesterday: Image Entertainment, Inc., an independent licensee, producer and distributor of home entertainment programming in North America, announced that it expects its fiscal 2009 third quarter ended December 31, 2008 net revenues to exceed $38 million. Image said this represents an approximate 39 percent increase over actual net revenues of $27.3 million for same period last year. Additionally, on January 30, the Company made a scheduled $4 million principal payment due under the Company's senior convertible note with Portside Growth and Opportunity Fund, reducing the outstanding note balance to $13 million, from $17 million. In a release, the company noted that for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company expects net revenues to exceed $103 million. This represents an approximate 47 percent increase over actual net revenues of $69.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The Company plans to release actual results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 by February 13. The Company is increasing its annual net revenue guidance for fiscal 2009 to an expected range of $128 million to $131 million, from its previous guidance of $120 million to $130 million. The Company is not providing specific earnings guidance for the third quarter or the full fiscal year.

Member HAZ Posted February 6, 2009 Member Share Posted February 6, 2009 So they arent going out of business? It looks like they're doing good business. I've read that they are merging or being aquired by another company, so that might have an effect on their release schedule. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member HAZ Posted February 6, 2009 Member Share Posted February 6, 2009 Maybe I'm cynical, but I always think "creative accouting" can be used to inflate numbers in business reports, so its tough to gauge facts. Image claims a 39 % increase of net revenues from last year. Who knows if this is true, though? I can only assume it is. I've heard their merger with another company isn't going smoothly. I can't remember the name of the company they're merging with, but their might be a lawsuit by Image pending against the their new parent company about a breach of contract.

Member Shaolin Patriot Posted February 6, 2009 Author Member Share Posted February 6, 2009 Haz - thanks for your feedback. Let's hope Image will continue with SB releases throughout 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chen lung Posted February 7, 2009 Member Share Posted February 7, 2009 I wish they didn't have the titles at all, we'd get a lot more than just English dubs. MB are doing the best job so far, but they're still not without flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
