Last week GAYVN News ran an article on their web site announcing a strategic alliance between Lucas Entertainment and Pjur Group. This week, GAYVN deleted the June 8 article and published a new article - apparently driven by the following Lucas Entertainment statement.

June 13, 2006
For IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

We do not have a deal with Pjur. Lucas Distribution distributes Lucas Entertainment movies to stores or distributors in Europe and Worldwide directly. We do not use Lucom nor do we have any special dealings with Pjur whatsoever. The only truth about this is that we use Pjur in our movies.

Lucom formerly had an exclusive deal to distribute our product in Europe, but no longer does. We greatly appreciate their business as a non-exclusive buyer of our products, but they get the same deal and pricing as every other distributor.

All U.S. and Worldwide Distribution inquiries should be directed to Richard Munguia, Sales Director; Lucas Distribution. Richard((at))LucasEntertainment.com, 212 924 5892 x 17
