POINT.360 ANNOUNCES FIRST FISCAL QUARTER RESULTS

Point.360 (NASDAQ: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three month period ended September 30, 2009.

Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: “As I have mentioned in our last few shareholder conference calls, we have been looking into opportunities to expand into the business-to- consumer segment of our industry. During the first quarter we began a multi-faceted research and development project to create a new service offering. In the first phase, we will create a proof of concept for the delivery of DVDs to retail customers.

“With the influx of online stores and kiosks, big box stores have been forced to close due to high facility and personnel costs. We have identified a niche between big box and on-line rentals to service the market partially abandoned by the big-box stores, kiosks and on-line providers.”

Mr. Bagerdjian continued: “On September 29, 2009 we purchased $500,000 of equipment and software to create three proof of concept stores in Southern California. We estimate that the project will take up to six months to complete at a cost of $1 to $2 million. If successful, the next phase will be implementation of the overall strategy.”

The Company also indicated that sales from its traditional post production business were down from the prior year’s quarter and that the reported loss included R&D costs related to the automated store project.

Revenues

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 totaled $9.4 million compared to $11.6 million in the same quarter last year. The decline reflects a slowdown in work from several major studio customers and the effects of the move of one of our facilities.

Gross Margin

In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, gross margin was $2.1 million (22% of sales), compared to $3.9 million (34% of sales) in the prior year’s first quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses

For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, SG&A expenses were $3.8 million, or 40% of sales, compared to $3.7 million, or 32% of sales in the first quarter of last year. R&D costs were $109,000 in the current year quarter.

Interest expense was $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $0.1 million last year due to additional mortgage debt.

Other income represents sublease income.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating loss was $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to a profit of $0.2 million in last year’s first quarter.

Net Income (Loss)

For the first quarter of 2010, the Company reported a net loss of $2.0 million ($0.19 per share) compared to a net income of $59,000 ($0.01 per share) in the same period last year.
