Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

In connection with the preparation of Private Media Group, Inc.’s (the “Company”) 2005 annual financial statements, management of the Company identified a design problem in the Company’s warehouse management information system and advised the Audit Committee and the Company’s Board of Directors on March 21, 2006 that the previously issued 2004 financial statements require restatement to adjust the carrying value of inventory of DVDs by Euro 1,118 thousand. Both the Audit Committee and the Company’s Board of Directors agreed on the same date to follow the advise of management to restate the 2004 financial statements. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer has discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with the Company’s independent auditors.

The previously reported total and per share amounts and the effects of this restatement on the previously reported results of operations for 2004, and the restated amounts are as follows:

    Per share  
       Basic     Diluted

The overstatement of inventory of DVDs from 2004 has no impact on net income and earnings per share in 2005 since it was carried forward at the same value through September 2005.
