    MONTREAL, Aug. 19 /CNW Telbec/ - Madacy Entertainment Income Fund
(TSX: MEG.UN) (the "Fund" or "Madacy") announces the completion of an
amendment to its banking facility.
    Madacy announces today that it has entered into an Amendment with its
bank which has the effect of amending its covenant relating to fixed charge
coverage. In addition, the Fund agreed to be subject to a monthly financial
covenant with respect to its tangible net worth with effect commencing July
2008. As a result of such Amendments, we are in compliance with our banking
covenants. In addition, concurrently with such Amendments, the holding company
of the Chief Executive Officer provided a guarantee to the bank in the amount
of Canadian $2.0 million in order to provide the Fund with additional
liquidity for the coming few months as such months have seasonally high
working capital requirements.

as it permits us to be in compliance with all of our banking covenants and
provides us with additional working capital liquidity during this seasonally
important time of year," said Hillel Frankel, President of Madacy.
