FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. ANNOUNCES

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

TORONTO, ONT. – Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX and TSX: PAE) is pleased to announce its results for the three and six months ended February 29, 2004.

The Company delivered the feature films “Direct Action” and “The Keeper” and 8 episodes of a 13 episode television series “Campus Vets” in the quarter. The Company also closed a marketing and film enhancement deal for two of its films, “The Keeper” and “Hollywood Flies”. During the quarter, the Company was in production of 7 new feature films. This compares to the delivery of 3 feature films, 5 episodes of a 13 episode prime-time television series and 2 documentary specials for the same period in the prior year.

The Company’s revenue totaled $7.7 million for the quarter, compared with $10.1 million for the second quarter of FY2003. The decrease in revenue reflects the Company’s delivery of an additional feature film in the second quarter of FY2003.

The Company reported net earnings of $1.5 million or $0.09 basic earnings per share and $0.07 diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended February 29, 2004 compared with net earnings of $4.8 million, or $0.80 basic earnings per share and $0.56 diluted earnings per share for the FY2003 comparable period. For the FY2003 comparable period, the Company reported net earnings of $0.2 million before a one-time gain on modification of debt of $4.6 million.

The Company reported year-to-date earnings from operations before undernoted, as indicated in the financial statements, of $2.0 million for the six months compared with $132,000 for the FY2003 comparable prior period. Earnings from operations before the undernoted, which the Company defines as revenue less amortization of investment in film and television programming, other production and distribution costs, selling, general and administrative costs and other amortization, is a non-GAAP measure. The Company considers earnings from operations to be a meaningful performance measure as it provides an approximation of the Company’s operational results.

Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc., one of Canada’s foremost entertainment companies, creates, develops, produces and distributes feature films and proprietary television programming for worldwide markets. Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. has offices in Vancouver, Toronto and London, England.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003

(unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in tables expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)

Operations

Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully integrated company that creates, develops, produces and distributes film, television and video programming for world-wide markets.

Future Operations

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the "going concern" basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the "going concern" basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continuing operations or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing to meet its obligations as they come due. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the "going concern" basis is not appropriate.

Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended August 31, 2003 and should be read in conjunction therewith.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

(b)

Comparative Figures

Certain comparative figures have been restated to conform to the basis of presentation adopted for the current period.

(c)

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA is comprised of net earnings from operations before the undernoted plus other amortization. EBITDA is not a measure recognized under Canadian or United States generally accepted accounting principles. The calculation of EBITDA may be different from that presented by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to other companies. Management believes EBITDA is an important measure of the Company’s earnings and its ability to generate cash from its core business activities.

(d)

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest represents the interests of arm’s length parties’ ownership position in the Company’s business interests in which the Company controls.

Debt Restructuring

During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Fremantle Enterprises Inc. (“Fremantle”), an existing trade creditor, whereby Fremantle agreed to exchange its trade payable balance of $7,783,000 for a term loan secured by a charge on the assets of the Company and a secured interest in certain copyrights to productions. The promissory note bore interest at 10% per annum and was intended to mature on June 30, 2004.

Effective January 30, 2003, the Company and Fremantle agreed to restructure the remaining $7,580,000 of term debt due to Fremantle. Fremantle agreed that the revised source of debt repayments and security would be restricted to the business, assets, and undertakings of the Company as they existed immediately prior to January 30, 2003 (the pre-existing assets). The new debt has no fixed repayment dates. Interest, which continues to accrue at 10% per annum, and principal are payable from the income streams of the pre-existing assets, subject to priority interests. The revised terms also exclude a previous right of prepayment by the Company of all outstanding amounts.

Pursuant to the Debt Repayment Agreement dated January 30, 2003, the Company has also agreed that if any amount of the Fremantle debt, including unpaid interest, remains outstanding as of December 31, 2004, Fremantle will, for a period of 90 days, have the right to convert such unpaid amount to Class B Subordinate Voting Shares in the capital of the company at the lesser of either (a) $5.00 per share or (b) the average trading close price of the shares for the 30 days prior to December 31, 2004, provided that in no event shall the conversion price be less than $3.00 per share.

The modification of the debt is treated for accounting purposes as a settlement of the original debt, as the present value of cash flows under the terms of the modified debt instrument is at least 10% different from the carrying amount of the original debt. The fair value of the debt after modification is based on the discounted expected future cash flows of the pre-existing assets. The Company recorded a gain on modification of the debt, for the year ended August 31, 2003.

Release and reconstitution of a loan guarantee

During the year ended August 31, 2001, the Company guaranteed a loan due to Comerica Bank – California (“Comerica”) to a maximum of US$2,075,000 on behalf of a co-production partner. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the co-production partner defaulted on its loan payments. As at August 31, 2002, the amount of the outstanding related debt was $1,675,000 (US$1,075,000) and the Company recognized its obligation as debt and receivable due from the co-producer. The receivable was written off at August 31, 2002.

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company entered into a Release and Reconstitution Agreement with Comerica which restructured the terms of the loan guarantee. Repayment of the loan is restricted to the ultimate proceeds of specific exploitation rights secured under the original loan agreement and, subject to priority interests, including repayment to Fremantle, to the pre-existing assets.

If any amount of the Comerica liability remains outstanding as of December 31, 2005, Comerica will, for a period of 90 days, have the right to convert such unpaid amount to Class B Subordinate Voting Shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed price of $5.00 per share. The modification of the Comerica obligations is treated for accounting purposes as a settlement of the original debt, as the present value of cash flows under the terms of the modified debt is at least 10% different from the carrying amount of the original debt.

(unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in tables expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)

The fair value of the debt after modification is based on the discounted expected future cash flows of the pre-existing assets.

Conversion instruments

As described, and in conjunction with the above, on January 30, 2003, the Company issued a conversion instrument to Fremantle which permits Fremantle to convert the amount of its outstanding debt including unpaid accrued interest at December 31, 2004, if any, into Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the company for a period of 90 days commencing on December 31, 2004. The conversion price will be the lower of either (a) $5.00 per share or (b) the average closing price of the Class B shares for the 30 days prior to December 31, 2004, provided that in no event shall the conversion price be less than $3.00 per share. Pursuant to the conversion instrument, 2,527,000 Class B shares, which represent the number of shares that could be issued for the principal amount of debt of $7,580,000, have been reserved for issuance.

As described, and in conjunction with the above, on January 30, 2003, the Company issued a conversion instrument to Comerica which permits Comerica to convert the amount of its outstanding loan at December 31, 2005, if any, into Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company for a period of 90 days commencing on December 31, 2005 at a price of $5.00 per share. Pursuant to the conversion instrument, 366,000 Class B Shares, which represent the number of shares that could be issued for the obligation of US$1,075,000, have been reserved for issuance.

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which established standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.

Reorganization of a subsidiary, Peace Arch Project Development Corp. (PAPDC)

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company carried out a reorganization and rationalization of its assets, operations and subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the reorganization, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, PAPDC, became the owner of substantially all of the assets and business (collectively, the pre-existing assets) as at January 30, 2003. The pre-existing assets consisted principally of accounts and loans receivable, film and television programming rights, and all shares and other securities (including intercompany loans) held by the Company in its subsidiaries existing at January 30, 2003.

At the same time, PAPDC and its subsidiaries directly or indirectly were assigned substantially all of the pre-existing debts and liabilities of the Company, including the Company’s indebtedness to Fremantle and Comerica. However, the Company continues to have a conditional obligation to satisfy any remaining indebtedness to Fremantle and Comerica by issuing a variable number of shares to Fremantle and Comerica under Conversion Rights Certificates (the conversion instruments) issued by the Company to each of them.

Subsequent to the reorganization of PAPDC described above, on August 1, 2003, the Company sold all of its shares of PAPDC for nominal consideration.
