Second Quarter Highlights

Financial Results

Second quarter results reflect a significant improvement in revenues and gross profit largely as a result of releases from the TWC relationship and early success from the Company's recently announced new content relationships.

Gross revenues increased to $102.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $5.2 million during the comparable period last year.

Sales returns, discounts and allowances were $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2005. This increase coincides with the increase in overall gross revenues. Sales returns, discounts and allowances increased marginally to 26.7% of gross revenues in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 24.6% of gross revenues for the comparable period last year and decreased compared to 30.9% of gross revenues for the full year 2005. The increase in returns related to management's cautious approach to avoid out of stocks on the first few TWC video releases. The Company continued to enhance its new inventory management system during the second quarter of 2006 which resulted in noticeable improvements in forecasting returns related to the most recent releases, and the Company expects continued improvements in sales forecasting Sales forecast

 and monitoring going forward.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2006 improved to $14.8 million or 19.7% of net revenues, compared to a gross loss of approximately $1.7 million for the comparable period last year. The improvement was primarily due to higher net revenues coupled with the culmination of the shift away from the historic Genius Products value business.

Sales and marketing expenses, which are primarily recoupable expenses, increased to $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.6 million in the comparable period last year primarily due to the increased level of expenses incurred in connection with releasing TWC titles.

General and administrative expenses increased to $7.4 million in the second quarter 2006 compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter 2005 primarily due to one-time non-recurring general and administrative expenses of $3.4 million associated with the TWC transaction and the resulting ramp-up of our infrastructure. Excluding these expenses and non-cash compensation expense related to rule FAS 123R of $0.7 million, G&A totaled $3.3 million in the second quarter 2006 or 4.3% of net revenues.

For the second quarter of 2006, net loss was $4.0 million or $0.07 per share compared to a net loss of $5.3 million or $0.13 per share for the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter 2006 net loss included non-cash compensation expense related to FAS 123R of $0.7 million, depreciation, amortization, and taxes totaling $0.6 million, net interest income of $0.2 million and one-time non-recurring general and administrative expenses of $3.4 million relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

"Within the first 100 days of our operational relationship with TWC commencing with the DVD release of "Derailed" on March 21 to the end of this quarter, we have achieved two #1 DVD releases: "Derailed" the number one rental title in its debut week and "Hoodwinked", the #1 sell-thru DVD in its debut week, and added a number of new content providers including ESPN, Classic Media and BKN BKN Broken (aviation - very cloudy) .

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted net income as presented in this press release and management's audio presentation is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income excluding the effects of a variety of charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, including non-cash compensation expense related to FAS 123R, depreciation, amortization, taxes, interest income, interest expense, TWC transaction-related expenses including legal, accounting and tax advisory fees and one-time expenses associated with the ramp-up of operations including recruitment, consulting, software and occupancy costs Occupancy costs are the whole life costs of buildings and their associated land from occupancy until disposal. These costs may be incurred on a regular or irregular basis. Occupancy costs are those costs related to occupying a space including; rent, real estate taxes, personal . Adjusted net income may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies and is not a measurement under GAAP. Management believes the adjusted net income presentation enhances an overall understanding of Genius Products' financial performance from operations, and it is used by management for that purpose. The Company believes adjusted net income and per share adjusted net income provide useful information to investors about the Company's financial performance because it eliminates the effects of period to period changes in non-cash compensation expenses, depreciation, amortization, interest income, interest expense, taxes and non-recurring expenses associated with the TWC transaction and the resulting ramp-up of operations, all of which the Company believes are not reflective Refers to light hitting an opaque surface such as a printed page or mirror and bouncing back. See reflective media and reflective LCD.  of the underlying performance of its ongoing operations. Measures similar to adjusted net income are also widely used by the Company and other companies in the industry to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. In addition, the Company presents these measures because the Company believes they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies such as Genius Products. Since Genius Products has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, management believes the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency in its financial reporting.

There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income in that they exclude a variety of charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full measure of Genius Products recorded costs against its revenue. Management compensates for these limitations in non-GAAP measures by also evaluating performance based on traditional GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, investors should consider these non-GAAP results together with GAAP results, rather than as an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures.

We believe that certain non-GAAP measures, when processed in
conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful because that
information is an appropriate measure for evaluating our operating
performance. Internally, we use this non-GAAP information as an
indicator of business performance, and evaluate management's
effectiveness with specific reference to this indicator. These
measures should be considered an addition to, not a substitute for, or
superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
