Sydney - Thursday - August 18: (RWE Aust Business News) - Entertainment Media (ASX:ETC) will quarantine and dispose of approximately $2.0 million of the legacy liabilities of GalaVu Entertainment Network Inc, a subsidiary of its Canadian based subsidiary Entertainment Media & Telecoms Corp. The process is expected to allow the liabilities, which were assumed on acquisition of GalaVu, to be satisfied from internally generated funds available to GalaVu, without recourse to any funding from EMT Canada. The process also required that the operations first be turned cash flow positive before the restructure could commence. This was achieved at the end of July 2005 and as of August, other than for the once-off restructuring costs, the Canadian operations are expected to produce $C90-120m of quarterly positive cash flow. Given the US operations are already cash flow positive the restructure of the Canadian operations is expected to substantially change for the better the future landscape of the North American assets and give it the ability to substantially fund the installation of the sales pipeline internally.
