PROXY STATEMENT
________________________

GENERAL INFORMATION
 
Persons Making the Solicitation

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Point.360 (the “Company”) of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on November 12, 2008, and at any adjournment thereof. This proxy statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about October 3, 2008. You are requested to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card (or to use telephone or voting procedures if offered by your broker) in order to ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting.

All shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below under “Record Date and Stock Entitled to Vote”) represented by a properly completed proxy received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted by the proxy holders as provided therein. Where a shareholder specifies a choice on the proxy with respect to any matter to be voted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly by the proxy holders. If no direction is given in the proxy, it will be voted “FOR” the election of the directors nominated, “FOR” ratification and appointment of Singer Lewak LLP (“Singer Lewak”) as independent auditors and in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holders with respect to any other business that properly comes before the annual meeting.

In addition to solicitation by mail, regular employees of the Company and its Transfer Agent may solicit proxies in person or by telephone without additional compensation. The Company will pay persons holding shares in their names or in the names of their nominees, but not owning such shares beneficially, for the expenses of forwarding soliciting materials to the beneficial owners. The Company will bear all expenses incurred in soliciting its shareholders. Such expenses are estimated not to exceed $10,000.

Revocability of Proxy

Any proxy given by a shareholder of the Company may be revoked at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by a written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, or by filing a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or upon request if the shareholder is present at the meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” and you have instructed your broker or intermediary to vote your shares, you must follow the instructions received from your broker or other intermediary to revoke your instructions.

Record Date and Stock Entitled to Vote

Only holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on October 3, 2008, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. The outstanding voting securities of the Company on that date consisted of 10,493,410 shares of Common Stock.

Voting Rights

Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held as of the above record date, except that in the election of directors each shareholder has cumulative voting rights and is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares held by such shareholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, which number is currently five. The shareholder may cast these votes all for a single candidate or may distribute the votes among any or all of the candidates. No shareholder will be entitled to cumulate votes for a candidate, however, unless that candidate’s name has been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder, or any other shareholder, has given notice at the Annual Meeting prior to the voting of an intention to cumulate votes. In such an event, the proxy holder may allocate among the management nominees the votes represented by proxies in the proxy holder’s sole discretion.
 
1


Quorum; Shareholder Vote

A majority of the outstanding shares of the Company must be present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions or “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by a broker or nominee which are represented at the Annual Meeting, but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal or proposals) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of determining the outcome of a proposal, shares represented by such proxies will not be treated as affirmative votes.

The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting is required for the election of directors. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHELD” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. For each other item, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and voting on the item will be required for approval, provided that the shares voting affirmatively must also constitute a majority of the required quorum for the meeting.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Item 1 on proxy card)

The following table sets forth information concerning the nominees of management for directors for the ensuing year. Each nominee has agreed to serve as a director if elected. The term of office for all nominees listed below will expire at the next annual meeting to be held in 2009 or when their successors are elected and qualified.

Meetings and Committees

The standing committees of the Board of Directors are the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Compensation Committee.

Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is comprised of Messrs. Oki, Baker and Bell (Chairman). All members of our Audit Committee are independent directors as required by the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market and the SEC. Messrs. Oki, Baker and Bell are each an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by regulations of the SEC.
 
Our Audit Committee assists our Board in its oversight of our financial reporting process. Our management has primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including systems of internal controls. Our independent auditors are responsible for auditing our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
In the performance of its oversight function, our Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management and the independent auditors our audited financial statements. Our Audit Committee discusses with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 and Auditing Standard No. 2 relating to communication with audit committees. In addition, our Audit Committee receives from the independent auditors the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 relating to independence discussions with audit committees. Our Audit Committee also discusses with the independent auditors their independence from Point.360 and our management and considers whether the independent auditor’s provision of non-audit services to our company is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
 
Our Audit Committee discusses with our internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. Our Audit Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting. In addition, our Audit Committee meets with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to discuss the processes that they have undertaken to evaluate the accuracy and fair presentation of our financial statements and the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
In 2007, the Board adopted a written Audit Committee Charter. It is available on the Company’s website at www.point360.com. 

Nominating and Governance Committee
 
The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors is comprised of Messrs. Baker (Chairman), Hutchins, Bell and Oki. Our Nominating and Governance Committee considers and recommends candidates for election to our Board, advises our Board on director compensation, oversees performance evaluations of our Board and Board committees and advises our Board on corporate governance matters. All members of our Nominating and Governance Committee are independent directors as required by the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market.
 
Our Nominating and Governance Committee will consider and recommend candidates for election to our Board. The Committee will also consider candidates for election to our Board submitted by shareholders. Each member of the committee participates in the review and discussion of director candidates. In addition, a member of our Board of Directors who is not on the committee may meet with and evaluate the suitability of candidates. In making its selections of candidates to recommend for election, the committee will seek persons who have achieved prominence in their field and who possess significant experience in areas of importance to our company. The minimum qualifications that our Nominating and Governance Committee will require in any nominated candidate will include integrity, independence, forthrightness, analytical skills and the willingness to devote appropriate time and attention to our affairs. Candidates would also need to demonstrate a willingness to work as part of a team in an atmosphere of trust and a commitment to represent the interests of all our shareholders rather than those of a specific constituency. Successful candidates will also need to demonstrate significant experience in areas of importance to our company, such as general management, finance, marketing, technology, law, international business or public sector activities.

In 2007, the Board adopted a written Nominating and Governance Committee Charter. It is available on the Company’s website at www.point360.com.

Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is comprised of Messrs. Oki (Chairman), Hutchins, Bell and Baker. Our Compensation Committee has oversight responsibility for the compensation programs for our executive officers and other employees. All members of our Compensation Committee are independent directors as required by (1) the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market, (2) relevant federal securities laws and regulations, including Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and (3) Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. A copy of the Compensation Committee’s Charter is on the Company’s website at www.point360.com.
 
Director Independence and Meetings
 
The Board of Directors has determined that each director other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Haig S. Bagerdjian, is “independent” within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., and that each member of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee is “independent” within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15).  

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Board of Directors held nine meetings. The Audit, Nominating and Governance and Compensation Committees held seven, one and nine meetings, respectively, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, either separately or in conjunction with regular meetings of the Board of Directors. During fiscal 2008, each director attended all of meetings of the Board and of committees of the Board on which he served during his respective term as a director with the exception of Mr. Hutchins who was absent from one Compensation Committee meeting.

Director Nominee Criteria and Process

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider shareholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board. In evaluating such nominations, the Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board. Any shareholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee should include the nominee's name and qualifications for Board membership and should be addressed to:

Corporate Secretary
Point.360
2777 N. Ontario Street
Burbank, CA 91504
 
The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that members of the Board should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education, technology or public interest. They should be committed to enhancing shareholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. Each director must represent the interests of all shareholders.
 
The Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating and Governance Committee will periodically assess the appropriate size of the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating and Governance Committee through current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating and Governance Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers shareholder nominations for candidates for the Board. If any materials are provided by a shareholder in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials will be forwarded to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee will also review materials provided by professional search firms or other parties in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a shareholder.

All five of the director nominees identified in this proxy statement currently serve as directors of the Company and were elected as directors at the Company’s last annual meeting of shareholders.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Any shareholder who desires to communicate with the entire Board of Directors or with specified directors should send a letter to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address listed above. All such letters will be sent to all Board members or, if applicable, to the directors specified by the shareholder.

Directors’ Attendance at Annual Shareholder Meetings

Directors are encouraged by the Board to attend annual meetings of the Company shareholders. All directors attended the last annual meeting of shareholders.
 
PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINtMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(Item 2 on proxy card)

We are asking you to ratify the Board’s selection of Singer Lewak LLP (“Singer Lewak”) as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.

Effective July 26, 2002, Old Point.360 (our predecessor company), through action of its Audit Committee, engaged Singer Lewak as its independent auditors. Singer Lewak audited the Old Point.360’s and Point.360’s financial statements for the fiscal years 2002 through 2008.

A representative of Singer Lewak is expected to be available at the Annual Meeting to make a statement, if he desires, and to answer your questions.

We are submitting this proposal to you because we believe that such action follows sound corporate practice. If ratification of the appointment of Singer Lewak as our independent public auditors is not obtained at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF SINGER LEWAK AS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR THEREOF UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Company is comprised of three independent directors, who have signed this report, and the Audit Committee operates under a written charter. The purpose of the Audit Committee is to monitor the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, review the Company’s internal accounting procedures and controls, oversee the independence, qualification and performance of the Company’s independent accountants, and appoint the independent accountants.

The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Baker, Oki and Bell are independent (within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission). The Board has also determined that Messrs. Baker, Bell and Oki are each an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

During fiscal year 2008, the Audit Committee met with the senior members of the Company’s management team and the Company’s independent accountants. The Audit Committee also met separately with the Company’s independent accountants and separately with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The parties discussed financial management, accounting and internal controls.
 
The Audit Committee appointed (subject to ratification by the shareholders) Singer Lewak LLP as the Company’s independent accountants and reviewed with the Company’s financial management and the independent accountants the overall audit scope and plans, the results of internal and external audit examinations, evaluations by the accountants of the Company’s internal controls and the quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
 
The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report with the Company’s management including, without limitation, a discussion of the quality and not just the acceptability of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements as well as in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. In addressing the reasonableness of management’s accounting judgments, members of the Audit Committee asked for and received management’s representations that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and have expressed to both management and accountants their general preference for conservative policies when a range of accounting options is available.

 In its meeting with representatives of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee asked for and received responses to several questions that the Audit Committee believes are particularly relevant to its oversight. These questions included (i) whether there were any significant accounting judgments made by management in preparing the financial statements that would have been made differently had the accountants themselves prepared and been responsible for the financial statements; (ii) whether, based on the auditors’ experience and their knowledge of the Company, the Company’s financial statements fairly present to investors, with clarity and completeness, the Company’s financial position and performance for the reporting period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and SEC disclosure requirements; and (iii) whether, based on their experience and their knowledge of the Company, they believe the Company has implemented internal controls that are appropriate for the Company.
 
The Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as amended by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 90, “Audit Committee Communications.” The Audit Committee also reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” discussed with the accountants their independence, and concluded that the non-audit services performed by the accountants are compatible with maintaining their independence.
 
In performing all of these functions, the Audit Committee acts in an oversight capacity. The Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of the Company’s management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and of the independent auditors who, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 filed with the SEC.

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Overview of Compensation Program
 
The Compensation Committee (for purposes of this analysis, the “Committee”) of the Board has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with Point.360’s compensation philosophy. The Committee ensures that the total compensation paid to the named executives is fair, reasonable and competitive. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to the named executives are similar to those provided to other executive officers.
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by Point.360, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving shareholder value. The Committee evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that Point.360 maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Committee believes executive compensation packages provided by Point.360 to its executives, including the named executive officers, should include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions
 
The Committee makes all compensation decisions for the named executive officers and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to other executives of Point.360. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other executives are made by the Chief Executive Officer in concert with the Committee.
 
The Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of various executives. The conclusions reached and recommendations based on these reviews, including with respect to salary adjustments and annual award amounts, are presented to the Committee. The Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustments or awards to executives.
 
Setting Executive Compensation
 
Based on the foregoing objectives, the Committee has structured Point.360’s annual and long-term incentive-based cash and non-cash executive compensation to motivate executives to achieve the business goals set by Point.360 and reward the executives for achieving such goals. In furtherance of this, the Committee periodically engages outside human resources consulting firms, to conduct reviews of its total compensation program for the Chief Executive Officer as well as for other key executives. The reviews provide the Committee with relevant market data and alternatives to consider when making compensation decisions for the Chief Executive Officer and on the recommendations being made by Point.360’s management for executives other than the Chief Executive Officer.
 
In making compensation decisions, the Committee compares each element of total compensation against benchmarks prepared by the consultants for companies of a similar size and complexity as Point.360.
 
Point.360 competes with many larger companies for top executive-level talent. As such, the Committee generally sets compensation for executives at the 50th to 75th percentile of compensation paid to similarly situated executives of the companies comprising the benchmark group. Variations on this objective may occur as dictated by the experience level of the individual and market factors. These objectives recognize the Committee’s expectation that, over the long term, Point.360 will generate shareholder returns in excess of the average of its peer group.
 
A significant percentage of total compensation is allocated to incentives as a result of the philosophy mentioned above. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between either cash and non-cash or short-term and long-term incentive compensation. Rather, the Committee reviews information provided by outside consultants to determine the appropriate level and mix of incentive compensation. Income from such incentive compensation is realized as a result of the performance of Point.360 or the individual, depending on the type of award, compared to established goals.
 
2008 Executive Compensation Components
 
For the year ended June 30, 2008, the principal components of compensation for named executive officers were:
 
·
base salary;
 
·
performance-based incentive compensation;
 
·
long-term equity incentive compensation; and
 
·
other personal benefits.
 
10

 
Base Salary
 
Point.360 provides named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salary ranges for named executive officers are determined for each executive based on his or her position and responsibility by using market data. Base salary ranges are designed so that salary opportunities for a given position will be between 80% and 125% of the midpoint of the base salary established for each range.
 
During its review of base salaries for executives, the Committee primarily considers:
 
·
market data provided by our outside consultants;
 
·
internal review of the executive’s compensation, both individually and relative to other executive officers; and
 
·
individual performance of the executive.
 
Salary levels are typically considered annually as part of Point.360’s performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Merit based increases to salaries of named executives officers are based on the Committee’s assessment of the individual’s performance.
 
Performance - Based Incentive Compensation
 
The Executive Bonus Plan (“EBP”) is an annual cash incentive program for executives including the named executives. The EBP provides guidelines for the calculation of annual non-equity incentive based compensation, subject to Committee oversight and modification. The EBP includes various incentive levels based on the participant’s accountability and impact on Point.360 operations, with target award opportunities that are established as a percentage of base salary. These targets range from 10% of base salary to 30% of base salary for Point.360’s named executive officers.
 
For the named executive officers, 70% of the award is based upon achievement of corporate financial objectives relating to earnings, and the remaining 30% of an executive’s EBP award is based upon the accomplishment of individual goals. The Committee may also grant discretionary bonuses for outstanding performance.
 
Before the beginning of each fiscal year, the Committee sets minimum, target and maximum levels for each component of the corporate financial objective portion of the EBP. Payment of awards under the EBP are based upon the achievement of such objectives for the current year. Named executive officers participating in the EBP receive:
 
·
no payment for the corporate financial objective portion of the EBP award unless Point.360 achieves the minimum performance level (as computed for the total corporate financial objective portion);
 
·
a payment of less than 7% of base salary for the corporate financial objective portion of the EBP award if Point.360 achieves or exceeds the minimum performance level;
 
·
a payment of at least 7% but less than 14% of base salary for the corporate financial objective portion of the EBP award if Point.360 achieves or exceeds the target performance level but does not attain the “stretch” performance level;
 
·
a payment of 21% of base salary for corporate financial objective portion of the EPB award if Point.360 achieves or exceeds the maximum performance levels; and
 
·
a payment of remaining portion of the award based on achievement of individual goals.
 
11

 
For executives, other than the named executives, the EBP award opportunity is based on achievement of Point.360, group and facility financial objectives, in addition to achievement of individual goals.
 
Upon completion of the fiscal year, the Committee assesses the performance of Point.360 for the corporate financial objective of the EBP comparing the actual fiscal year results to the pre-determined minimum, target, stretch and maximum levels. In making the annual determination of the minimum, target, stretch and maximum levels, the Committee may consider the specific circumstances facing Point.360 during the coming year. Targets are set in alignment with Point.360’s strategic plan and expectations regarding earnings performance.
 
Over the past five years, the Parent Company achieved performance in excess of the target level one time. The payout percentage in that year was in accordance with the EBP. Additionally, the Parent Company’s Committee authorized discretionary bonuses to selected executives and the named executives in two of the past five years.
 
Long-term Equity Compensation
 
Under Point.360’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan the (“2007 Plan”), the Committee may grant participants shares of Point.360’s common stock, restricted stock, share units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and/or performance units.
 
All awards of stock options under the 2007 Plan will be made at the market price at the time of the award. Awards of stock options to executives are generally made annually by the Committee. Newly hired or promoted executives may be granted awards of stock options on their hire or promotion date. Grants of stock options to newly hired executives are made at the next regularly scheduled Committee meeting on or following their hire date.
 
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
 
Point.360 provides named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that Point.360 and the Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable Point.360 to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to named executive officers.
 
The named executive officers are provided either the use of a company automobile or an automobile allowance and reimbursement of health insurance costs under the health plan available to all Point.360 employees.
 
Attributed costs of the personal benefits described above for the named executive officers for the year ended June 30, 2008 are included in the “Summary Compensation Table.”
 
Point.360 has entered into Severance Agreements with certain key employees, including the named executive officers. The Severance Agreements are designed to promote stability and continuity of senior management. Information regarding applicable payments under such agreements for the named executive officers is provided under the heading “Severance Agreements.”
 
Compensation Committee Report
 
The Compensation Committee of Point.360 has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth in this Proxy Statement with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Equity Incentive Plan

Point.360’s Board of Directors has adopted the Point.360 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, officers, non-employee directors and employees of Point.360, as well as other persons who render services to or are otherwise associated with Point.360, are eligible to receive incentive and/or nonqualified stock options. The Plan expires in April 2017. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The selection of participants, allotments of shares, determination of price and other conditions or purchase of options will be determined by the Board or a Stock Option Committee appointed by the Board at its sole discretion in order to attract and retain persons instrumental to the success of Point.360. Incentive stock options granted under the Plan are exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, except that the term of an incentive stock option granted under the Plan to shareholder owning more than 10% of the voting power of Point.360 on the date of grant may not exceed five years and its exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Non-qualified options granted under the Plan may not be granted at less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

Severance Agreements

The Company has entered into severance agreements with Messrs. Bagerdjian and Steel. The agreements provide that if Mr. Bagerdjian or Mr. Steel is terminated following a change in control during the term of the agreements other than for cause, disability or without good reason (as defined), then Mr. Bagerdjian and Mr. Steel shall receive a severance payment equal to 275% and 200%, respectively, of the sum of (i) base salary and (ii) the higher of (x) the average bonus earned during the preceding three years or (y) the target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. If terminated under the severance agreement, Mr. Bagerdjian and Mr. Steel would also receive employee benefits for specified periods of time. Furthermore, previously granted stock options shall vest fully. Under certain circumstances, amounts paid pursuant to the severance agreements will be subject to a tax gross-up payment if such amounts are subject to an excise tax as contemplated by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of the severance agreements, a change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) a tender offer shall be made and consummated for the ownership of 35% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, (ii) the Company shall be merged or consolidated with another corporation and as result of such merger or consolidation less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former shareholders of the Company, other than affiliates (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) of any party to such merger or consolidation, as the same shall have existed immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, (iii) the Company shall sell, lease, exchange or transfer substantially all of its assets to another corporation, entity or person which is not a wholly-owned subsidiary, (iv) a person (other than Executive), as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14 (d) of the Exchange Act, shall acquire 35% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (whether directly, indirectly, beneficially or of record, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by one person or more than one person acting in concert), or (v) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Assuming that a triggering event occurred on June 30, 2008, severance amounts payable would have been $832,000 and $1,925,000 for Messrs. Bagerdjian and Steel, respectively, plus life, disability and health insurance benefits for 33 months immediately following the date of termination. The value of such benefits is estimated to be $14,000 and $20,000 for Messrs. Bagerdjian and Steel, respectively, based on the cost of such benefits on June 30, 2008.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors
 
Point.360’s Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors. As permitted by the California General Corporation Law, directors will not be liable to Point.360 for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors in certain circumstances. Such limitation does not affect liability for any breach of a director’s duty to Point.360 or its shareholders (1) with respect to approval by the director of any transaction from which he derives an improper personal benefit, (2) with respect to acts or omissions involving an absence of good faith, that he believes to be contrary to the best interest of Point.360 or our shareholders, that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing culpable violations of law, that constitute an unexcused pattern or inattention that amounts to an abdication of his duty to Point.360 or our shareholders, or that show a reckless disregard for his duty to Point.360 or our shareholders in circumstances in which he was, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing his duties, of a risk of serious injury to Point.360 or our shareholders, or (3) based on transactions between Point.360 and our directors or another corporation with interrelated directors or on improper distribution, loans or guarantees under applicable sections of the California General Corporation Law. Such limitation of liability also does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
 
Our Bylaws state that, to the maximum extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law and by our Articles of Incorporation, we will indemnify each of our officers and directors and may indemnify each of our other agents against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that any such person is or was an agent of Point.360. Our Bylaws also state that the indemnification provided by the Bylaws will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Bylaws or any agreement, vote of shareholders, or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and that no provision of the Bylaws will limit or prohibit indemnifica-tion by us to the fullest extent permitted by California law.
 
15

 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to our officers and directors pursuant to the provisions described above, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company paid $126,000 to Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt LLP (“HCVT”) for preparation of tax returns and other tax related services. Mr. Hutchins is a partner in HCVT.

The Board of Directors has determined that each director other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Haig S. Bagerdjian, is “independent” within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., and that each member of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee is “independent” within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15).

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules promulgated thereunder, the Company’s directors, executive officers, and any person holding beneficially more than 10% of the Company’s common stock are required to report their ownership of the Company’s securities and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission and to file copies of the reports with the Company. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to report in this Proxy Statement any failures to file by these dates during the last fiscal year.
 
16

 
Based upon a review of filings with the SEC and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all of its directors, executive officers and persons owning more than 10% of the Company’s common stock complied during the year ended June 30, 2008 with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
