In the report, the analyst notes:

"Playboy magazine's sales have suffered in recent years as more people get adult entertainment on the Internet, and as advertising sales have fallen at most U.S. magazines and newspapers. Moreover, the Company's track was negatively influenced by the magazines created by rivals like Penthouse and Hustler as well as by adult videos growth. By the late 1990s, the rise of the Internet and free adult contents on the Web became Playboy's greatest rival for the audience.

"Last week Reuters reported that PLA is in preliminary talks to sell itself to Iconix Brand Group Inc. At this point, the goal of Iconix, which owns and licenses clothing brands such as Candies, Joe Boxer, and Rocawear, is to bring in a publishing partner to buy Playboy Enterprises Inc.'s namesake magazine while it would keep the brand licensing part of the Company. Playboy's former entertainment president, Jim Griffiths, is also in talks to acquire the Company and take it private for more than $300 million, the Los Angeles Times reports."
