TFN is in terrific company with Alliance Atlantis Communications Inc. They are the largest distributors...... 15% of global coverage.

About ALLIANCE:Alliance Atlantis co-owns, co-produces and distributes worldwide (excluding the U.S.) the very popular CSI franchise, which includes CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, its spin-off, CSI: Miami, and the newest addition to the franchise, CSI: NY.

Outside of the CSI franchise, Alliance Atlantis also acquires and distributes television programs to Canadian, American and international broadcasters, home video distributors and sub distributors, and produces a handful of in-house productions that align with the content needs of the Company's broadcast channels.

While we have largely exited the in-house production business, Alliance Atlantis is focused on ensuring the continued success of the CSI franchise and continues to make a significant and increasing financial and creative contribution to the Canadian production community every year by acquiring, commissioning and airing original Canadian programming for our broadcast channels. Alliance Atlantis' Showcase; is the only Canadian network, including the CBC, to air an entirely Canadian drama schedule in the heart of prime time.

Motion Picture Distribution LP acquires and distributes movies in three major territories representing almost 15% of the global box office; Canada, United Kingdom and Spain. These motion pictures are released theatrically, distributed through video and DVD sales and licenced to television broadcasters.

In Canada, Alliance Atlantis is the largest distributor releasing 79 theatrical motion pictures, 177 video and 210 DVD titles in 2003 . In the UK, Momentum Pictures continues to be a growing niche player in motion picture distribution releasing 20 theatrical motion pictures, 30 video and 44 DVD titles.

In May 2004, MPD LP acquired Aurum Producciones, Spain's leading independent distribution company. Like our Canadian and United Kindgom operations, Aurum is 100% focused on distribution and is not involved in production.

The Company's approximately 14,000-hour motion picture library includes approximately 6,000 titles.

MPD LP also owns Alliance Atlantis Cinemas, a 24-screen chain of upscale cinemas in Canada in partnership with Famous Players, a division of Viacom Canada Inc.
