Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
 
At a Prague investor conference commencing Thursday, November 10, 2005, Michael Garin re-affirmed the guidance for the year to December 31, 2005 with respect to the company’s core markets of Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Ukraine previously disclosed in our November 3, 2005 investor call, and further broke out the guidance per station as follows:
 
 
Net Revenues
EBITDA
 
US $million
US $million
Romania (1)
$ 100
$ 41
Slovak Republic (MARKIZA TV)
63
16
Slovenia (POP TV and KANAL A)
47
17
Ukraine (STUDIO 1+1)
70
21
 
280
95
 
(1) Romanian networks are PRO TV, PRO CINEMA, ACASA and PRO TV INTERNATIONAL

Segment EBITDA is a non US-GAAP financial measure, and our Slovak Republic operations are not consolidated in our financial statements. A reconciliation of the anticipated segment Net Revenues to our anticipated consolidated Net Revenues can be found on our website at www.cetv-net.com. During the year we have issued a significant amount of debt that is denominated in Euros, and consequently our earnings are subject to inherently unpredictable and potentially material foreign currency gains or losses. It would be unreasonable for us to attempt to determine an expected figure of consolidated net income before taxes for the company on a projected basis for 2005 for purposes of generating a reconciliation to the EBITDA figures that we refer to in the above table.

 
Signatures

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have duly caused this report to be signed on our behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
