Business Editors / Entertainment Editors

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2006--
Imperia Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IPRE) announced
today that it has issued the following letter to shareholders.

Dear Shareholders,

This is my fourth letter to you as president of Imperia. As I
stated in my first letter, I use these opportunities to express myself
to you and give you full disclosure about the company. I stated in my
last shareholder letter that I would:

A) Always inform you about what is going on with the company, to
the best of my knowledge.

B) Give it to you straight without trying to sugar-coat things.

That is just the way I do business. Like I have said before, I
have a conscience and would never deliberately mislead anyone. I also
believe communication is very important.
Just to give you some quick background on the company structure, I
have been in the entertainment business for several years. I produced
and directed "All That I Need" and got it into theatres prior to being
hired as president of Imperia. I handle the development and the
overseeing of entertainment projects for the company.
Kenneth Eade is the former president, and still serves as chairman
for the company. Both of our bios are listed on the Imperia website:
http://www.allthatineed.net/impaboutus.html.
I have owned and operated other businesses prior to getting
involved in the entertainment business but Mr. Eade is infinitely more
experienced when it comes to fundraising for the company, and he is
currently handling those duties.
In my last shareholder letter, released April 3rd, I stated the
following:
"We had to sell a large amount of shares in order to raise extra
money for our feature film, 'Say It In Russian.' This is a temporary
situation as we are almost done filming. We went over budget in our
foreign location shooting, but it has added great production value to
the movie. The good news is that we have raised the necessary
completion funds."
I also stated the current share structure as:
"The company has approximately 204,000,000 shares outstanding and
83,000,000 of those shares are restricted."
At the time, to my knowledge, this was the absolute truth. As some
of you may or may not know, I often take the time to respond directly
to shareholders. A few days ago, a shareholder wrote me and asked if
the company was selling shares. I responded by saying the following,
and the reply was subsequently posted on the Internet:
"To my knowledge there are no shares being sold by the company,
and I don't know of any plans to sell shares in the near future." At
the time, I was not aware that the company's Regulation D offering had
not yet been closed, because of the need to pay expenses on our latest
film, "Say it in Russian."
When I learned that the company has continued to sell shares in
its Regulation D offering, I became very concerned by this information
as I am close with many shareholders and my reputation is very
important to me. When this new information came to light, I
immediately shared this information with shareholders who contacted
me. Unfortunately this resulted in them calling me a liar, which I am
not.
The reason why the company has continued to sell shares is that
our latest feature film, "Say it in Russian," which Mr. Eade produces,
went over budget. The cost of the movie went from the estimate of $1.8
million that we had on April 3rd to $2.7 million, which was disclosed
by the production accountant in a cost report yesterday. We believe
that this expense was necessary, not only to complete the film, but to
maintain a high quality. To put things in perspective, my movie, which
was released in theatres, cost less than $100,000 to make. "Say It In
Russian" is a much more elaborate and polished movie, shot on
35-millimeter film. It has a recognizable cast and was shot in three
different countries including France, Russia and the U.S. It is only
worth it to us to have a product that is attractive to film buyers, so
it was decided to make the project look as great as possible and to
add value to it. At this point, all of the costs for the actual
filming and production of the movie have been incurred and must be
paid in full. This will take approximately two to three weeks to
complete, and then the only recurring costs will be promotional.
It is my belief that there are people out there who are out to
make a quick buck. There are a lot of ways to do that. The only way to
make a living long term is to focus on longevity and to building a
reputation. No matter what, it is important for me to maintain my
integrity. I have a long-term plan for this company and I want to see
it through.
"Say It In Russian" was largely overseen by Mr. Eade, as it was
his project, and it was put into development prior to me even coming
aboard Imperia last year. I will personally be much more involved in
the upcoming projects.
A finished movie has a value, so now that "Say It In Russian" is
added to our library, it is a big plus for us. I am very excited that
the day is fast approaching that more money will not need to be raised
for it. And I would like to point out that the majority of the budget
for the movie was not raised through the Regulation D offering. The
offering became necessary as a result of going over budget and the
costs having to be paid. The current outstanding common shares of the
company now stand at 528,528,467.
Investors have asked me about why we would sell the stock with the
price so low and why we haven't let it breathe more. The reality of
the situation is that the bills need to be paid now. Another reason is
that a market developed for the stock at these prices that is much
more robust than it was when it was being traded at higher prices. I
believe that the market that is being developed will be of benefit to
shareholders and the company. I should caution you however, that I
never know where the stock price will go. I spend most of my time
focused on building value for the company. The market sets the stock
price, and dictates the volume.
I want to assure you that I will do the best I can to build value
in this company. There are projects currently being worked on in
addition to "Say It In Russian" that are very exciting for our future.
We are also making some aggressive moves getting involved with online
and other distribution.
And, don't forget that Cannes is just around the corner. Now that
"Say It In Russian" is complete we can start selling to distributors.
We have already gotten several offers. I intend to use those sales to
put more value into the company.
I thank you for standing by me, and I greatly apologize for any
confusion or frustration you have been experiencing. I will do my best
to keep you accurately informed in the future.
Thanks again for your patience.

All the best,

James Hergott

President of Imperia Entertainment

It would seem to me the question I am sure that was asked and that was not answered is how many stocks are going to be continued to be sold by the company. It looks like they are releasing 100K of shares a day at them moment and if this wil cease in 2 or three weeks then we are talking about another 2 billion shares on the market. what will the price be then? 5X lower? Maybe this is niave but if anyone can explain what the likelihood of this happening I would be grateful..cheers.

This is a risky , but HUGE play. Top traders are comparing this to CYOS of 2 years ago that ran HUGE.

There are obviously huge CDs between converted into the market, the trick is to pick the end of the conversion. If you do, you will make big bucks.

Miller, I'm new..what are CDs and what do you mean by the "end of the conversion?"

I know that with the new movie coming out this stock could go back to the penny/.10 range, but I'm afraid the movie may be a flop. Are they showing it at the French film festival in Cannes?

Hey IVV. Congrats on getting into the market, your doin it at a great time. Market is hot, S&P near 5 year highs. many stocks movin.

First off, let me say this. If you are going to be in the otcbb / pink market, promise me that you rarely, if ever get excited about what the actual company is doing. its good to maybe know what the are about (like hot oil stocks, etc) but whenever you think there is gonna be HUGE news and its gonna rocket up, it rarely ever happens.

The key is to go small. Look for 10% gains, maybe 20%. But you will be killed and slaughtered if you look for home runs. Trust me!!! lol, ive been burned and you learn your lesson. Im not sayin that you are like that, just warning you.

My key to you to remember is that you should be a trader in this market. Trade the charts, and a little fundemental, but other than that, get in and get out. Dont get hyped up about this big event, or this big PR coming, because all pumpers of all stocks will tell ya to hold on for another week because big news is coming.

Ride the momo, get in at the bottom, take a good profit, and get out, pat yourself on the back, and look for more money.
Make a trade plan for yourself and how much you look to make each day or week. Start small like $50 a day.

90% of traders will fail because they look for homeruns, so i try and harp to newbies that you cannot get caught up in the hype and pshcology of the market. You gotta be better than that. Take your profits when you got them and dont always look big.

(WOW THAT IS LONG. LMAO. Sorry)
awww, IPRE, i know they got a movie comin out, but they are also diluting big time to raise capital. If they stop diluting then it will run big. As for the movie though, most penny stock companies are going nowhere so i wouldnt get too excited about huge profits or anything like that. LOL. but hey who knows, i am just a trader and trade the wave.

good luck and sorry for the long post

ohh hey didnt even see this question..

CDs are convertiable debentures, (somethin like that) but its a way for a company to sell shares (dilute) to raise capital. It usually takes the stock down becuase there is more supply than demand.

End of the conversion, i just meant the end of the dilution. Then the supply will drop and then the demand will rise, equally a rise in the price per share (pps)

nahhh. many traders i trade with were gettin in at around .0015 and .0016, but i decided to hold off. Not really my type of play. If CLYP (the dilutor) gets off the ask then it will run, but until then he is holding it down.

It does look good for a big run if he gets off though, but i think im just gonna cheer from the sidelines. Good luck to you though if you are in. if so whered ya get in?

OHH AVNT. LOL. you get lucky sometimes. i got burned today on a call of FPPL so you dont always get them. Friggen company was diluting by the boatload.

Ill be back to my old style with a pick probably by tommorrow. My style is more slow. More accumulate the bottom plays, hold till they apex, and then breakout, and then sell into the run. AVNT was a perfect example. i was watching that one for a week get ready.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Apr 20, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Imperia Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IPRE) announced today that it has signed an agreement with the TKO Major League MMA (mixed martial arts) organization (http://www.tkomma.tv/) to co-produce an independent movie with the working title "Never Submit."
The movie was written and will be directed by Imperia president James Hergott.

The deal calls for some footage of the movie to be shot at a July event put on by TKO in Montreal, Canada with an option to film at a September event if more time is needed. Fights for the movie will be filmed in between real fights for the event. Additional filming will continue over the following weeks in Montreal, Quebec and possibly Ontario, Canada.

Imperia Entertainment will also seek out well-known real fighters to appear in the movie as fictional characters.

TKO is the top MMA organization in Canada. It often has fighters go on to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (http://www.ufc.com/), the top MMA organization in the World.

President of TKO, Stephane Patry, also manages several top fighters who have fought both in TKO and the UFC, including fan favorite Georges "Rush" St.-Pierre (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=3500), who recently beat MMA's best pound for pound fighter, BJ Penn at the UFC's USA vs. Canada event. This event featured a number of fighters managed by Mr. Patry. It was recently announced that Georges St.-Pierre would get a title shot for the UFC World Welterweight Championship, possibly in September.

Both George St.-Pierre and Stephane Patry were recently featured in the following Toronto Sun article, talking about the rise of the sport: http://torontosun.com/Sports/OtherSports/2006/04/17/1537296-sun.html.

The film will also benefit from tax incentives from the provincial and federal government in Canada, as Mr. Hergott is a Canadian citizen. The movie will be filmed exclusively in Canada. Actors and the fighters will be from both Canada and the US.

Some of the actors may also get an opportunity to train with Georges St.-Pierre or other top fighters managed by Mr. Patry, prior to filming in order to bring greater realism to the movie. Additionally, some of TKO's sponsors may participate in the movie, helping to reduce the movie's budget. Since the movie is fictitious, Imperia Entertainment is open to working with other sponsors as well who would like to be showcased in the film.

Mr. Hergott comments, "This is the most exciting project I have ever been involved with. I have been an MMA fan since its North American introduction in 1993. I have competed in Judo, and have closely followed MMA. I frequently visit, and sometimes post on the fan sites. I believe the sport is about to explode into the mainstream, and I intend to be a part of that movement. My intention is to not portray MMA as an underground blood sport, but rather to show the courage, integrity and inspiration of the fighters. I want to do right by the hard-core fans, and also to bring in new fans to the sport. I will do everything to make this movie as realistic and exciting as possible."

TKO president Stephane Patry will serve as an Executive Producer for the project. Mr. Patry comments on the deal: "I am very enthusiastic to work with Mr. Hergott and Imperia Entertainment. This will mean great things for the TKO organization; we bring one of the best production value in the sport of MMA and now the Hollywood world will discover why insiders say TKO is the best-kept secret in MMA."

Additionally, Imperia announced that Cindy Ortiz, who has written for top MMA online magazines, including MMA Weekly (http://www.mmaweekly.com/) and MMA Fighting (http://www.mmafighting.com/) will be a producer for the movie. Ms Ortiz will serve as a liaison between Imperia Entertainment and the MMA world.

Ms. Ortiz has close relationships with several organizations, as well as fighters, and brings a wealth of knowledge about the sport. She has been an advocate for the sport since the mid '90s when Senator McCain spearheaded a campaign to have it banned from North America. Since then both the Nevada and New Jersey athletic commissions have sanctioned the sport.

Ms. Ortiz comments: "I feel that this is a project that will appeal to MMA fans not only in North America, but all over the world. It is a pleasure to be involved."

"Never Submit" is a movie which portrays the thrill of victory and agony of defeat within the sport. The story is set in a tournament setting similar to the movie "Bloodsport" but rather than exploiting the sport as underground no-holds-barred fighting, it seeks to portray the sport in a realistic and positive light.

The movie will be an inspirational tale similar to "Rocky." Unlike "Rocky" the lead character is an educated young man, rather than a beaten-down punch-drunk fighter.

Mr. Hergott comments: "MMA is a very intellectual sport. A physical chess match. I want to portray the sport and its fighters as intelligent rather than dumb brawlers, as is often done in other movies."

MMA is an emerging sport, which has already gained huge acceptance in Asia and looks poised to explode into the mainstream in North America. Indeed, several landmarks have recently occurred within the sport of MMA. For example, Marc Ratner, who served with the Nevada State Athletic Commission since 1984, and as its Executive Director for the last 13 years, recently left his job to join the UFC. In his new position he will seek to attain sanctioning of the sport in additional states.

Also, the UFC held its first event in California at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim on April 15th. The event quickly sold out all 18,000 seats in two days and was the fastest sell-out event in UFC history and brought in a $9 million US gate. A similar event is scheduled for May 27th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.

The sport is also gaining exposure on television. The IFL recently signed a distribution deal with Fox Sports Net for their first event in April, and the UFC just extended its content deal with Spike TV. The UFC's MMA-based reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" is the top rated-series for Spike TV, formerly called "the network for guys." Season #1 (13 weeks) of "The Ultimate Fighter" averaged a 1.7 HH rating (1.5 million) with a 2.0 (1,015,000) in M18-49, a 2.4 (604,000) in M18-34, and an average audience of 2.1 million viewers.

The 3rd "Ultimate Fighter" season premiered April 6th, 2006 as the most-watched original series premiere in Spike TV History. It drew record ratings for the network and out-delivered anything else in television in its timeslot in the hard-to-reach demographic of Men 18-34. The 90-minute premiere also out-delivered major competition on cable including the NBA on TNT (Pistons vs. Heat and Lakers vs. Nuggets) and USA Networks' coverage of The Masters.

Among the notable ratings achievements for the premiere of Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter 3" include:

-- 1 among Men 18-34 (3.71, 971,000) in its timeslot, out-delivering everything on broadcast, cable, or pay cable.

-- 1 in HH rating (1.95), average audience (2.4 million), Men 25-34 (5.03, 758,000), Men 18-49 (2.70, 1,411,000), Persons 18-49 (1.67, 1,794,000) (Ad-supported cable only).

-- Highest household ratings for an original series premiere in Spike TV history (1.95).

-- Defeated TNT's NBA doubleheader featuring the leagues marquee teams including Pistons vs. Heat/Lakers vs. Nuggets in household rating (1.95 to 1.68), average audience (2.4 million to 1.8 million), and Men 18-34 (3.61 to 1.41).

-- Defeated USA Networks' coverage of golf's biggest tournament, The Masters, in average audience (2.4 to 2.2 million), Men 18-34 (3.61 to 0.72), and Men 18-49 (2.70 to 1.01).

-- Highest delivery of Men 18-34 in network history for an original series versus last year in the timeslot (MXC), up +236% in households, +429% in Men 18-49, +395% in Men 18-34, and +262% in average audience.

-- Earlier in the evening, Spike TV simulcasted the first-ever LIVE network sporting show (Ultimate Fight Night Live) to a mobile device, Amp'd Mobile.

On the popular search engine yahoo.com, MMA fighters and events routinely are at the top of the list of most-often-searched sports, often beating out huge mainstream sports such as football and basketball. This is further proof that MMA is a huge underground hit with young adult males. Earlier this week it was even more searched on yahoo.com than popular reality TV show "American Idol."

With several debuts occurring in the great state of California over the next few months, all signs point to this being just the beginning.

Mr. Hergott comments: "This project just makes financial sense for Imperia. I believe that MMA is poised to take off in North America, and is already huge around the world. There is a huge niche market out there for it and this is just the beginning. I feel that we are ahead of the curve with this movie and appealing to the young male demographic that advertisers and sponsors are eager to attract. When you factor in the financial incentives from the Canadian government, and the fact that we are able to save on costs by filming at a live event, the deal makes absolute sense financially and otherwise. A majority of theatergoers are kids, teenagers and young adults. We are aimed right at the market that we need to be going after. I am 29 years old and this is a movie that I would go out to see even if I wasn't involved. Traditional Hollywood is often slow to react to trends and is out of touch with the mainstream. This is the right movie at the right time for us. This is a direction I want to take the company."

Oh my God, I hope he budgeted this movie with a calculator and an accountant rather than tealeaves and and dice like his last one. Looking forward to further inarticulate ramblings claiming igonorance by the CEO on the knowledge of his own company's dilution.

If he was honest as he claims (regularly) he would of said in March, "strap on your seatbeats we are going on a hell of a ride we are about to dump 1 billion shares on the free market and take down the stock 95%. I dont think they are finsihed yet.


prodcing inarticualate BS about being CEO oblivious to his own company being diluted

I got out at a loss today. I don't think they are done dumping. Just look at todays volume 205 million plus!!! Live and learn I guess.

Good luck if anyone is still holding on, they will start making money from the movies soon and I supose this stock will be a pretty good play when they quit dumping all over shareholders.

All, I sent our favorite honest, trusting, and transparent CEO an e-mail, and true to form, he responded very quickly. Please see thread below. It has all the saga of a classic pantomine (it is an acting compnay after all..)

-The pink sheet IPRE-Are they trustworthy?-

by BS Predictions.

company: "Our PR shows we are good and as honest as school girls in the playground"
shareholder: "oh no your not"
company: "oh yes we are"
[crowd]"booo..hissss" CEO: "here comes Ken the Baddie"
KTB: "its not me, its the share holders dumping, they have no faith, muuuah ah ahhhh."

E-mail thread from this afternoon is below:

James,

As explained in my shareholder letter, I handle putting the deals
together. Ken is an attorney who specializes in Stocks who handles
those duties.

I put out a press release a month ago explaining that shares had been
put into the marketplace because the movie went over budget. I then
put out another press release last week explaining that it had
continued and I gave a time frame.

I asked ken about the selling today, and he explained that shares
were not dumped into the market today. In fact the amount of shares
has not increased since my last shareholder letter. Here is one of
his direct emails to me today:

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: Re: Fwd: Stockholder concerns...once again Mr. Hergott
To: James Hergott <imperiaentertainment**********>


We are not dumping shares. We have gone to a payment schedule on the
remaining bills and the cash flow needs are diminished. I think
investors are dumping when they see news. I guess no news is good
news really fits this situation.

Bought this one for a bounce today. Maybe 002 tomorrow.

Flip stocks. Never invest in them. Take your profits. All is my opinion. Do your own DD.
