Peace Arch has also announced that the Companys SEDAR filing is scheduled to be released on Thursday, December 6, 2007.
Peace Arch's fiscal 2007 was the strongest period of growth in the Company's history," said Jeff Sagansky, Chief Executive Officer of Peace Arch Entertainment. We successfully completed several milestone acquisitions, made some management changes, and we are well on or way to redefining our business model. As such the Board has encouraged the auditors to take the additional time on the audit that has been required. John Flock, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and I look forward to speaking directly with our investors during this Fridays conference call as we move towards an even more promising fiscal 2008.
Peace Arch Entertainment is a diversified entertainment company that produces, acquires, licenses and distributes feature film, television and home entertainment programming. Peace Arch owns one of the largest independent film libraries in the world, containing more than 1000 classic and contemporary titles. Based in Toronto, Los Angeles, New York and Vancouver, Peace Arch capitalizes on worldwide growth opportunities through proven financial strategies and established distribution and licensing operations in the United States and Canada.
Given recent material events such as management transitions, acquisitions and new economies of scale, the Company has required additional time to ensure full compliance.

Peace Arch fully intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines set out in Ontario Securities Commission Policy 57-603 until the scheduled release.
