(Nasdaq: NOOF) and its officers, agents and employees from reformatting hard drives of any computers in their control, unless certain court imposed procedures are followed. This matter was brought before the Superior Court on an expedited basis in connection with the action recently brought by New Frontier Media against Edward Bonn, Bradley Weber and others. At an ex parte hearing before the Superior Court, Mr. Weber and his counsel alerted the court to alterations being made by New Frontier Media to the hard drives of its computers that may contain important evidence relating to this case. These alterations raised suspicion because they were undertaken by New Frontier Media shortly after its complaint was initially filed. Based on arguments by counsel and affidavits provided by certain former employees of the company, the Superior Court issued the temporary restraining order, pending a full hearing on the matter currently scheduled for July 3, 2002. "I trust that management is now beginning to understand that this is a time of heightened scrutiny and not the time for improper conduct that impairs the legal process or frustrates the will of shareholders," stated Mr. Edward Bonn. Mr. Bonn beneficially owns approximately 19% of the outstanding shares of New Frontier, most of which were acquired in 1999 in connection with New Frontier's acquisition of its Internet operations. Mr. Bonn is currently a director of New Frontier Media and is seeking the removal of the current board of directors and election of a new slate of directors. MR. BONN HAS FILED A PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RELATING TO THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FROM THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NEW FRONTIER MEDIA FOR USE AT A SPECIAL MEETING OF NEW FRONTIER MEDIA SHAREHOLDERS. MR. BONN STRONGLY ADVISES ALL NEW FRONTIER MEDIA SHAREHOLDERS TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT IS AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE ON THE SEC'S WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV. INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN MR. BONN'S PROXY SOLICITATION IS CONTAINED IN AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT, FILED ON JUNE 6, 2002. ###
