There are material limitations to using measures such as adjusted EBITDA
and adjusted EBITDA
margin, including the aforementioned difficulties
associated with comparing these performance measures
as we calculate them to
similar performance measures presented by other companies, and the fact that
these performance measures do not take into account significant items, such as
depreciation and
amortization.

2005
, generated adjusted EBITDA of euro 7,132 and euro 7,720 in the three and
six months ended June 30
, 2005, respectively. The increase was
primarily due to timing differences related to programming
payments and the
improved operating performance of the Company.
