FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. ANNOUNCES

EXTENSION GRANTED FROM AMEX


TORONTO, ONT. – Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX and TSX: PAE) announces that on April 26, 2004 the American Stock Exchange ("Amex") notified the Company that Amex has accepted the Company’s Plan to make itself compliant with the continued listing standards of Amex, and granted the Company an extension up to July 11, 2005 to regain compliance with those listing standards.  


On February 10, 2004, the Company had received notice from Amex indicating that the Company was below certain of the Exchange's continued listing standards due to shareholders’ equity less than $2 million and losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years; and shareholders’ equity of less than $4 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years, all as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) and Section 1003 (a)(ii) respectively, of the Amex Company Guide.  


Amex had afforded the Company the opportunity to submit a Plan of compliance to the Exchange, and on March 10, 2004 the Company presented its Plan to the Exchange.


The Company will be subject to periodic review by Amex Staff during the extension period.  If the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan or does not regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period, the Company's shares could be subject to delisting from Amex.


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.
