Van Nuys Studios, Inc.
Currently we have no revenues, only minimal assets, and have incurred losses since our inception. We have relied solely on proceeds from the sale of our stock to fund our operations to date.
We were incorporated in Delaware on June 19, 2002. We are a development stage company that rents sound stage and editing booth facilities on a month to month basis. We plan to rent these facilities to third party customers for use in recording and editing videos such as talk shows and interviews as well as for making audio recordings. As our company grows, we intend to produce audio recordings and enter the business of editing digital movies.
As of the present, we have no customers or clients. Our sole officer and director, Alia S. Khan, is meeting with potential customers and marketing our editing services. She is also in the process of setting up a sound stage within our facility that we hope to have available in the first quarter of 2003 for marketing to potential clients that may be looking for a production set for shooting talk shows or interviews.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the common stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information in this prospectus, you should consider carefully the risks described below before you decide to buy our common stock. These risk factors constitute all the material risks (excluding the risks faced by any typical issuer or offering) identified by our management that we face based on our business and the industry in which we operate. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or future performance of Van Nuys Studios, Inc.
Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our independent certified public accountant's report on our financial statements for the period from June 19, 2002 to July 31, 2002 contains an explanatory paragraph indicating that we had losses and negative cash flow that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that any independent certified public accountant's report on our future financial statements will not include a similar explanatory paragraph if we are unable to raise sufficient funds or generate sufficient cash from operations to cover the cost of our operations. The existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship with prospective customers and suppliers and could harm our business
We are a development stage company with no recorded revenues and a history of losses.
We were incorporated on June 19, 2002, and have no operating history. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future performance and prospectus. We have not yet generated any revenues for our consulting activities. Our prospectus must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in an emerging and evolving industry characterized by intense competition.
2
We have no established public market for our stock.
There is no established public market for the common stock being offered under this prospectus. We are not currently registered on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board system or any national exchange. While we intend to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board system, there is no guarantee that we will qualify to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board system. Additionally, it is our understanding that the OTC Bulletin Board may be phased out in favor of a new exchange, the Bulletin Board Exchange. If and when, the Bulletin Board Exchange is implemented, there is no guarantee that we will qualify to be listed on this exchange.
We will need additional financing to fully implement our business plan, and if we fail to obtain additional funding we may not be able to continue our operations.
We will need to raise additional capital to implement fully our business plan and establish adequate operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recover additional public or private financing, including debt or equity financing, as needed, or, if available, on terms favorable to us. Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility. Our failure to successfully obtain additional future funding may jeopardize our ability to continue our business and operations.
Since our common stock has never been traded, prices for the common stock may decline after the offering.
There is no public market for our common stock and we cannot assure you that a market will develop or that any shareholder will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. We have not engaged an underwriter for this offering, and we cannot assure you that any brokerage firm will act as a market maker of our securities. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. In addition, an active trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained.
Applicability of "penny stock rules" to broker-dealer sales of our common stock could have a negative effect on the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
Our common stock is not quoted on any exchange or on NASDAQ, and no other exemptions currently apply. Therefore, the SEC "penny stock" rules govern the trading in our common stock. These rules require, among other things, that any broker engaging in a transaction in our securities provide its customers with the following:
- •
- a risk disclosure document,
- •
- disclosure of market quotations, if any,
- •
- disclosure of the compensation of the broker and its salespersons in the transaction, and
- •
- monthly account statements showing the market values of our securities held in the customer's accounts.
The broker must provide the bid and offer quotations and compensation information before effecting the transaction. This information must be contained on the customer's confirmation. Generally, brokers subject to the "penny stock" rules when effecting transactions in our securities may be less willing to do so. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock. In addition, the broker prepares the information provided to the broker's customer. Because we do not prepare the information, we cannot assure you that such information is accurate, complete or current.
We are dependent on our sole officer, director and employee, Alia S. Khan.
Our success is dependent upon the efforts and active participation of our sole officer, director and employee, Alia S. Khan. The loss of the services of Alia S. Khan would immediately and adversely affect our ability to operate. The Company has no key person life insurance on Alia S. Khan and does not expect to obtain such insurance in the near future.
3
We may lose our studio facilities on short notice.
Our operations depend on our ability to offer for rent our studio facilities. We rent these facilities on a month to month basis and therefore could be evicted from these facilities with 30 days notice for any reason or, if we are in breach of our rental agreement, we could be evicted with only 3 days notice. In the event we are evicted we would have difficulty replacing these facilities and may not be able to continue with our business.
Our sole officer, director and employee has no experience in managing a studio.
Alia S. Khan is our sole officer, director and employee and she has no experience in running or managing a studio. This lack of experience may be detrimental to our ability to succeed in the studio business.
Our Management and Affiliates Have Significant Control of Our Management and Affairs, Which They Could Exercise Against Your Best Interest.
Our sole officer and director, Alia S. Khan, together with our affiliates, control over 67% of our issued and outstanding common stock, giving them the ability to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval and to control our management and affairs. Matters that would require stockholder approval include the following:
- •
- election and removal of directors;
- •
- merger or consolidation of our company; and
- •
- sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipates", "believes", "plans", "expects", "future", "intends" and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described in "Risk factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results.
TERMS OF THE OFFERING
The selling stockholders will sell their shares from time to time at a price of $0.12 per share, provided that in the event that our shares become quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or some other securities market, selling stockholders may sell their shares at then-prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. Such transactions may or may not involve NASD licensed broker-dealers. There is no minimum investment amount.
The selling stockholders may effect such transactions by selling common stock directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling stockholders. They may also receive compensation from the purchasers of common shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions.
4
Each selling shareholder and any broker-dealer that acts in connection with the sale of common shares may be deemed to be, an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the common shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions.
The shares are being offered as part of a continuous offering under Rule 415 of Regulation C promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management expects that the shares will be sold within 2 years of the commencement of the offering and expects to update this Prospectus for any material changes to the company as needed.
We have notified the selling stockholders of the prospectus delivery requirements for sales made pursuant to this prospectus and that, if there are material changes to the stated plan of distribution, a post-effective amendment with current information would need to be filed before offers are made and no sales could occur until such amendment is declared effective.
Selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the common shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities and Exchange Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such rule. All 10,504,33 shares of our common stock that are currently issued and outstanding will become eligible for sale under Rule 144 in June, July and August of 2003.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 19, 2002. We are a development stage company that plans to operate a sound stage to record talk shows, interviews and other video items that require minimal movement of people in front of the camera.
Currently we have no revenues, only minimal assets, and have incurred losses since our inception. We have relied solely on proceeds from the sale of our stock to fund our operations to date.
On our inception, we issued 8,100,000 shares to our founders. These founders are Alia S. Khan, Abdul S. Khan, Manhattan Capital Partners, Rowley Corporation, ZT Global, Inc. and Samar Khan. As we did not have any assets at the time of our formation, the founders received these shares for no consideration.
We raised our operating capital by selling approximately 2,404,333 shares of stock to approximately 37 investors from June 28, 2002 to September 20 2002, for a total of $272,020. 825,000 of these shares were sold at $0.10 per share and 1,579,333 of these shares were sold at $0.12 per share. Subsequently we cancelled 150,000 shares sold in this private placement due to non-payment of the purchase price for these shares by 2 investors. Therefore, we raised a total of $254,020 in this private placement.
Pursuant to a consulting agreement that we entered into with Manhattan West, Inc. on June 1, 2002,, Manhattan West located the site of our offices and studio facilities had the premises renovated and set up our telephones, utilities and computers. This consulting agreement had an initial term of six months. After the initial six month term, the agreement provided for automatic renewal for one month terms until by written notice of one of the parties. This agreement was terminated on November 30, 2002, by mutual consent of both parties. The agreement provided for Manhattan West to advise and assist us in creating our corporate structure, organization, marketing strategy and in exploring strategic
5
alliances and business projects on an international basis, however, the agreement barred Manhattan West from assisting in any fundraising or any other matters involving the stock or debt placements. Under this agreement, Manhattan West assisted us in establishing our studio facilities, including assisting with the purchase of furniture, setting up of computers, phone systems, and introducing us to potential business development sources. In return for these services, we paid Manhattan West $36,000 in cash. The source of these funds was our private placement of our stock from June 28, 2002 through September 20, 2002. Prior to us opening our own bank account, Manhattan West held some of the funds we raised in our private placement in its own bank account in trust for us. The $36,000 received by Manhattan West for its services to us were paid out of these funds. The remainder of the funds held in trust were either paid to us or used to pay expenses incurred on our behalf. See "Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners."
Within our rented 1,800-foot facility, we currently have one sound stage that can be used to shoot talk shows and interviews, as well as two booths that can be used for audio recording. Our facility also has a complete editing room with systems that allow for editing of digital movies. We intend to rent our facilities to outside producers. In addition we plan to produce audio recordings and edit digital movies on a contract basis.
Alia S. Khan, our sole officer and director, does not have any prior experience in operating a recording studio or sound stage. However, Ms. Khan, has worked on independent projects, where she has supervised the entire production process, and she believes that she has extensive enough relationships in the entertainment industry to prospect for potential clients.
Business Strategy
Our management believes that with the fast-evolving digital movie industry, it has become increasingly easier for groups with limited budgets to produce commercial grade content. In the opinion of our management, a unique niche exists to offer services to this sector as these groups cannot typically afford or get access to major studios, post production facilities, of even sets to shoot on. Our management also believes that there will be a growing trend of corporations shooting "corporate videos" for stockholders, potential customers, and for advertising purposes and we are positioning ourselves to offer such services. Our management bases its beliefs on feedback from preliminary discussions and meetings with prospective clients, as well as employees and owners of existing post-production facilities, not from any published research. Additionally our management has observed the growth of other post-production companies in the area, such as Pacific Ocean Post in Santa Monica.
We are not aware of any other company that is looking to set up "mini studios" in key geographic locations. We chose Van Nuys for our location as it is in the Greater Los Angeles regions and in very close proximity to Hollywood which our management believes to be the entertainment capital of the United States. However, our Van Nuys location allows us to pay lower rents as the average rent in Van Nuys is significantly lower than it would have been, had we opened in Hollywood.
We believe that if our initial location proves successful and we are able to find customers and operate at a profit, we can consider opening -up mini-studios in other locations. We believe that by having numerous small studios versus one very large studio we will be better positioned to market our services to potential customers.
Currently, Alia S. Khan is meeting with potential customers and marketing our editing services. She is also in the process of setting up a sound stage within our facility that we hope to have available in the first quarter of 2003 for marketing to potential clients that may be looking for a production set for shooting talk shows or interviews.
6
As our company grows, our management also plans to enter the business of editing digital movies. Our management also believes that potential customers for editing services may include companies producing digital movies for distribution through a variety of media, including the Internet, Television, DVDs, CDs and Theater Screens.
Competition
We face numerous competitors in our industry ranging from large post-production companies as Pacific Ocean Post and publicly traded Laser Pacific (NASDAQ: LPAC) to a high number of small independently owned post-production businesses. We believe that competition in our industry is primarily based on price and we hope to offer our services for less than many of our competitors.
We believe that we can offer our services for lower prices than competitors by taking a "self-service" instead of "full service" approach. Our strategy will be to keep our overhead to a minimum by providing the hardware and location that film makers need, but not the labor. The labor will either be hired by our customers on a per contract basis or provided by their own employees. This will reduce our costs and thus we should be able to charge less for our services and still achieve profitability. Most of the competitors we are aware of have a higher overhead and more personnel then us.
The studio business is very competitive with many companies competing on the basis of price and quality. We are just starting our business; we have minimal operating capital and not have any customers yet. Therefore it will be extremely difficult for us to compete against established studios with existing client bases, many of which are much larger than we are and better financed.
Employees
We have only one employee, Alia S. Khan, our President, Treasurer, and Secretary. She will handle all of our operations. We will use contract labor and subcontractors as needed.
Government Regulation
We are not subject to any unique government regulations other than general government regulations applicable to most businesses, and therefore we do not anticipate government regulations having any significant impact on our business operations.
Customers
Due to the recent inception of our business, we currently have no clients or customers using our services
Principal Suppliers
We do not have any principal suppliers.
Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any legal proceeding or litigation, and none of our property is the subject of a pending legal proceeding. Further, our sole officer and director knows of no legal proceedings against us or our property contemplated by any person, entity or government authority.
Principal Office
We rent 1800 square feet of studio space located at 14749 Oxnard Street, San Gabriel, California 91176 for a monthly rent of $1,800. We rent this property on a month-to-month basis. Our rental agreement provides that this property will only be used as a recording studio. This rental agreement also allows both ourselves or our landlord, Chandler Properties, to terminate our tenancy at any time with thirty days prior notice. If we are in default of the rental agreement, Chancellor Properties can terminate our tenancy with three days prior notice. Chandler Properties is not affiliated with our company.

Financial condition from results of operations—First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2003 compared to the Fiscal Year from inception (June 19, 2002) through July 31, 2002
Our operating expenses increased 87% from $61,745 in fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 compared to $124,041 in the three-month period ended October 31, 2002. This is mainly due to the periods of expenses being 11/2 months in July 31, 2002 compared to three months in October 31, 2002. In addition, we started a new consulting agreement with 1st Step on July 25, 2002 and paid $30,000 for services.
PLAN OF OPERATION
You should read the following plan of operation together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This plan of operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under "Risk Factors" on page 2 and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Plan of Operation
It is our goal to have our facility operating at capacity within the next twelve months. There is no guarantee that we will succeed in this as our industry in very competitive and we do not have any customers yet. Alia S. Khan is initially be handling all aspects of our operations.
Currently, through the end of March 2003, we plan to focus on marketing our services and generating company awareness. Our sole officer and director, Alia S. Khan is meeting with potential customers. The estimated total cost of this marketing campaign is approximately $10,000.. Additionally on July 25, 2002, we entered into a Co-Marketing Agreement retaining a consulting firm, 1st Step, Inc., to assist us with our marketing as a non-exclusive authorized representative of the company. In return for these services, the agreement requires us to pay 1st Step, Inc. a one-time nonrefundable engagement fee of $40,000. To date we have paid 1st Step, Inc.$30,000 and are planning on paying the remaining $10,000 later this year. 1st Step, Inc.is also entitled to a 10% commission on the net sales price of any services sold to a customer that they referred to us. Additionally once we are providing services, 1st Step Media will be entitled to receive such services from us at a 20% discount from our then-listed
8
prices. This agreement has a term of one year and is renewable for additional one- year terms on the mutual consent of the parties.
From January 2003 to March 2003, we expect to begin generating revenues due to our marketing efforts in the previous quarter. Should we be unsuccessful in generating a minimum of $7,000 per month in revenues by March 2003, we anticipate seeking a smaller location and puting more capital into marketing.
If we succeed in finding an adequate number of customers, we anticipate hiring one to two additional employees over the next twelve months. In addition, we intend to engage independent contractors as needed.
At this time, we do not anticipate any significant expenditure for equipment or any expansion of our facilities over the next twelve months. We have also amended our agreement with Alia Khan whereby she is no longer entitled to a draw and will only receive a 10% commission on any revenues she brings into the company. Therefore we anticipate keeping our total overhead expenses under $6,000 per month. As part of our strategy of offering services is to outsource any required labor and basically make the majority of our income from rental of studio space or equipment, we do not foresee any dramatic increase in our monthly overhead, regardless of the mount of revenues we generate.
We do not anticipate any need to raise additional funds during the next twelve months. We have generated $254,020 from the private placement of restricted common stock we made from June 28, 2002 to September 20, 2002 to 37 accredited investors. (See "Description of Business")
We believe that the proceeds raised from our private placement will be adequate to cover our costs and expenses through the next twelve months. In the event that we do need additional funds for any reason, it would be our intention to raise these funds by seeking loans from individuals and not through a private placement of our stock. However, we do not have any commitments from any individuals to provide loans to us and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in obtaining any such loans. Our management has not agreed to provide any future funding for the company at this time.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001, of which respectively 10,354,333 and 0 are issued and outstanding as of September 25, 2002.
Common Stock
All of our authorized voting common shares are of the same class and, once issued, rank equally as to dividends, voting powers and participation in assets. Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be acted upon by the stockholders. Holders of common shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our sole director, in her discretion, out of funds legally available therefrom. No shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no preemptive or conversion rights and no provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds, nor any cumulative voting rights. Our sole director may from time to time declare and authorize payment of dividends, as she may deem advisable. Subject to the rights of members, all dividends on shares shall be declared and paid according to the number of shares held. No dividends have been declared since incorporation.
Preferred Stock
Our sole director has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. The effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of the common stock might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or preventing a change in the control of the company without further action by the stockholders.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law Provisions
As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prevents an "interested stockholder" (defined generally as a person owing 15% or more of a Delaware corporation's outstanding voting stock) from engaging in a "business combination" (as defined) with such Delaware corporation for three years following the date such person became an interested stockholder unless (i) before such person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder's becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding stock held by the directors who are also officers of the corporation and by certain employee stock plans), or (iii) following the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the interested stockholder. Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the public announcement or notification of one of certain extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of the corporation's board of directors and if such business combination is approved by a majority of the board members who were directors prior to any person becoming an interested
13
stockholder. The provisions of Section 203 requiring a super-majority vote to approve certain corporate transactions could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing hostile takeovers, including those that might result in the payment of a premium over market price or changes in control or management of Van Nuys Studios, Inc.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
Our Transfer Agent and Registrar for our shares of common stock is Public Ease at 7720 B El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California 92009.
Reports to Stockholders
We intend to furnish annual reports to stockholders, which will include certified financial statements reported on by our certified public accountants. In addition, we will issue unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to stockholders pursuant to the federal securities laws.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY
Immediately prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We have 10,354,333 outstanding shares of common stock, including the 2,954,333 shares of common stock offered with this prospectus.
We intend to attempt to have our shares of common stock quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). However, there is no assurance that we will find a broker willing to file the Form 211 necessary for our shares to be considered for quotation on the OTCBB or that our shares will qualify to be listed on the OTCBB if a Form 211 is filed. It is our understanding that the OTCBB may be phased out in favor of a new exchange, the Bulletin Board Exchange. If and when the Bulletin Board Exchange is implemented, there is no guarantee that we will qualify to be listed on this exchange.
We have approximately 45 holders of our common stock. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into our common shares.
All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. If shares are purchased by our "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, their sales of shares would be subject to the limitations and restrictions that are described below.
All of our currently outstanding shares are "restricted securities and, in the future, may be sold upon compliance with Rule 144. Adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Rule 144 provides, in essence, that a person holding "restricted securities" for a period of one year may sell only an amount every three months equal to the greater of (a) one percent of our issued and outstanding shares, or (b) the average weekly volume of sales during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale. The amount of "restricted securities" which a person who is not an affiliate of Van Nuys Studios, Inc. may sell is not so limited, since non-affiliates may sell without volume limitation.
Upon the completion of this offering, if all the shares registered in this prospectus are sold, we will have 7,400,000 shares which will be "restricted securities." These 7,400,000 "restricted securities" become eligible for sale under Rule 144 in June, July and August of 2003.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares will be offered and sold by the selling stockholders for their own accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this prospectus. We will pay all of
14
the expenses of the registration of the Shares, but shall not pay any commissions, discounts, and fees of underwriters, dealers, or agents. See "Terms of the Offering."
The selling stockholders may offer and sell the shares from time in negotiated transactions at $0.12 per share. In the event that our shares become quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or some other securities market, selling stockholders may sell their shares at then-prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings, or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their Shares, nor are there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of Shares by the selling stockholders. Sales may be made directly or to or through broker-dealers who may received compensation in the for of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both. Such compensation for a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.
Under the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder, any person engaged in a distribution of the Shares offered by this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock of the Company during the applicable "cooling off" periods prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of Common Stock by the selling stockholders.
Selling stockholders may also use Rule 144 under the Act to sell the Shares if they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such Rule.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to nor are we aware of any existing, pending or threatened lawsuits or other legal actions.
LEGAL MATTERS
The legality of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon by Oswald & Yap, a professional corporation, Irvine, California.
DEALER PROSPECTUS DELIVERY OBLIGATION
Until 90 days after the commencement of the offering, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is in addition to the dealer's obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.
EXPERTS
Certain of the financial statements of Van Nuys Studios, Inc. included in these prospectuses and elsewhere in the registration statement, to the extent and for the periods indicated in their reports, have been audited by Kabani Company, independent certified public accountants, whose reports thereon appear elsewhere herein and in the registration statement.
INDEMNIFICATION
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that a director of Van Nuys Studios, Inc. will not be personally liable to Van Nuys Studios, Inc. or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, including breaches which constitute gross negligence. By its
15
terms and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, however, this provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director of our company (i) for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Van Nuys Studios, Inc. or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve international misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (relating to unlawful payments or dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions), (iv) for any improper benefit or (v) for breaches of a director's responsibilities under the Federal securities laws.
Our certificate of incorporation also provides for indemnification to the fullest extent provided by Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On June 19, 2002 we issued a total of 8,100,000 founder's shares for no consideration as follows: We issued 2,000,000 shares to Alia S. Khan, 3,000,000 shares to Abdul S.

The sole stockholder of Rowley Corporation is Syed Tauqeer Ahmed. The controlling officer and director of ZT Global Inc. is Taseer Badar.
At the commencement of our private placement of our common stock on June 28, 2002, we did not yet have our own corporate bank account. Consequently, proceeds from some of the first sales in this private placement were held in an account of Manhattan West, Inc. at the request of Alia S. Khan, our sole officer and director. Manhattan West was acting solely as a trustee of these funds while we set up our bank account. Manhattan West did not act as an agent or finder and had no involvement in the raising of the capital, nor was it paid for its services. Of the funds held by Manhattan West, $36,000 were used to pay Manhattan West for services rendered pursuant to a written consulting agreement that we entered into with Manhattan West, Inc. The remaining funds were paid to us or used to pay for expenses that we incurred.. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Manhattan West advised and assisted us in creating our corporate structure, organization, marketing strategy and in exploring strategic alliances and business projects. See "Description of Business." The CEO of Manhattan West, Inc., Tariq Khan, is a brother of Alia S. Khan.
On July 1, 2002, we entered into an employment agreement with Alia S. Khan, our President, Secretary and Treasurer and sole director, dated July 1, 2002. Alia S. Khan is also one of our founders and holds 2,000,000 shares of our common stock.
On July 25, 2002, we entered into a Co-Marketing Agreement with 1st Step, Inc.. Our sole officer and director, Alia S. Khan, owns 30,000 shares of 1st Step, Inc.common stock. Additionally, some of our other shareholders are also shareholders of 1st Step, Inc.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Van Nuys Studios, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Van Nuys Studios, Inc. (a development stage company) as of July 31, 2002 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period then ended and for the period from June 19, 2002 (inception), to July 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Van Nuys Studios, Inc. as of July 31, 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended and from June 19, 2002 (inception), to July 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's has not earned any revenue since its inception and has incurred a net loss of $62,534 through July 31, 2002. These factors as discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Van Nuys Studios, Inc. ("the Company"), is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 19, 2002. The Company has had no significant operations since its inception. The Company's only activities have been organizational, directed at acquiring its principle assets, raising its initial capital and developing its business plan. The Company's intended business is to record talk shows, interviews and other videos items that require minimum movement and people on camera and audio recording. The Company also plans to do business of editing of digital movies for distribution over several channels including the Internet, Television, DVDs and CDs as well as Theater Screens.
The Company's Fiscal Year Ends On July 31, 2002.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 101. Revenue will be recognized when services are rendered. Generally, the Company will extend credit to its customers/clients and would not require collateral. The Company will perform ongoing credit evaluations of its customers/clients. The company did not earn any revenue through July 31, 2002.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income (loss). Valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Issuance of Shares for Service
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.
F-7
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Since no shares were issued, basic and diluted net loss per share was not presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Start-up Costs
Start-up costs include legal and professional fees. In accordance with Statement of Position 98-5, "Costs of Start-Up Activities," these costs have been expensed as incurred.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company"s planned principal operations have not commenced and accordingly, no revenue has been derived during this period.
Accounting Developments
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued in August 2001. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 does not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2002, the Board issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds the automatic treatment of gains or losses from extinguishments of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria for extraordinary items as outlined in APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS 145 also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the rescission of FASB Statement 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS 145 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material effect on its earnings or financial position.
F-8
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
3. GOING CONCERN
As of July 31, 2002, the Company has a limited operating history under its current structure, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's has not earned any revenue since its inception and has incurred a net loss of $62,534 through July 31, 2002. Losses are expected to continue for the immediate future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort from inception through the period ended July 31, 2002, towards obtaining additional equity. In this regard, the Company has raised equity of $220,020 under a private placement through July 31, 2002 and raised additional $46,000 subsequent to July 31, 2002, through August 15, 2002.
4. RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY
The Company has a receivable of $81,475 from a related Company, related through family relationship of the president of the Company. The receivable is for cash received for 1,081,000 of common stock subscribed by third party investors net of $43,545 of expenses. Subsequent to July 31, 2002, the Company received $81,475 form the related party.
5. INCOME TAXES
No provision was made for Federal income tax. The provision for income taxes consists of the state minimum tax imposed on corporations. Through July 31, 2002, the Company incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes of approximately $58,000. Differences between financial statement and tax losses were immaterial at July 31, 2002. The net operating loss carryforwards may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2017. Net operating loss for carryforwards for the State of California are generally available to reduce taxable income through the year 2007. The net deferred tax asset balance, due to net operating loss carryforward, as of July 31, 2002 was approximately $23,000. A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax asset, as the utilization of the loss carrytforward cannot reasonably be assured.
6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On the formation of the Company, the Company issued 8,100,000 shares to its founders representing the initial capitalization of the Company. The shares were recorded at zero value, as there were no proprietary or any assets in the Company at that time of formation.
F-9
The Company received cash of $95,000 for shares to be issued. Additional $125,020 was subscribed and deposited with a related company, whose President is related to the President of the Company. Through July 31, 2002, the related Company has charged the Company $43,545 for consulting fees and various expenses paid on behalf of the Company (note 9). The Company had net receivable of $81,475 as of July 31, 2002 from the related Company for the subscribed capital (note 4). Total of 645,000 shares are to be issued at $0.10 and 1,296,000 shares at $0.12 per share. None of the shares subscribed for cash were issued as of July 31, 2002 and therefore, have been classified as "Shares to be issued" in the financial statements.
7. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOWS
The Company prepares its statements of cash flows using the indirect method as defined under the Financial Accounting Standard No. 95.
The Company has not paid any amount for tax or interest since its inception. The Company issued 8,100,000 shares to its founders representing the initial capitalization of the Company for no cash consideration.
8. COMMITMENT
The Company leases its facility in Van Nuys, California for a monthly rental of $1,800. The lease agreement is on month-to-month. Since the facility is on short-term lease, all the improvements on the facility have been expenses as repairs and maintenance.
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has a consulting agreement with a related company, whose President is related to the President of the Company. The agreement commenced on June 1, 2002 for six months period. After the termination date, the agreement will renew automatically on a month-to-month basis. The agreement can be terminated by either party, with or without cause, at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. The services to be rendered are varied and primarily are to help the Company in its development stage. The agreement calls for compensation up to $36,000 at the end of the initial 180 days period. The compensation provided by the Company shall be tied to the extent that the Company uses the Consultant's services within this initial one hundred and eighty days period. The Company has paid $24,000 for the consulting expense during the period ended July 31, 2002. In addition, the Company paid $8,574 of repairs and maintenance costs, $3,600 rent and deposit, and $7,371 of travel and entertainment costs to the related company who incurred the expenses on their behalf.
The Company has an employment agreement with Alia S. Khan, the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company, effective August 1, 2002. This agreement has a term of one year but is renewable for additional years. This agreement provides for Ms. Khan to receive 10% of our gross revenues, provided she is entitled to advances of $3,500 per month for the term of the agreement regardless of whether the Company has any gross revenues or not. There is no severance provision. The agreement allows the Company to terminate Ms. Khan at any time with or without cause.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Equipment consists of computers. Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation expense of $1,167 for equipment is provided using the straight-line method with estimated lives of five years.
Accrued expenses
The accrued expenses represent $1,800 accrued rent, $1,600 state tax and the balance of non refundable engagement fees of $10,000 owed under Co-Marketing agreement (note 7).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 101. Revenue will be recognized when services are rendered. Generally, the Company will extend credit to its customers/clients and would not require collateral. The Company will perform ongoing credit evaluations of its customers/clients. The company did not earn any revenue through October 31, 2002.
Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
F-15
differences are expected to affect taxable income (loss). Valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Issuance of shares for service
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Basic and diluted net loss per share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Since no shares were issued, basic and diluted net loss per share was not presented.
Fair value of financial instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying, as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Start-Up Costs
Start-up costs include legal and professional fees. In accordance with Statement of Position 98-5, "Costs of Start-Up Activities," these costs have been expensed as incurred.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company's planned principal operations have not commenced and accordingly, no revenue has been derived during this period.
Accounting developments
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued in August 2001. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
F-16
In May 2002, the Board issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds the automatic treatment of gains or losses from extinguishments of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria for extraordinary items as outlined in APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS 145 also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the rescission of FASB Statement 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS 145 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. Adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
3. GOING CONCERN
As of October 31, 2002, the Company has a limited operating history under its current structure, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's has not earned any revenue since its inception and has incurred a net loss of $186,358 through October 31, 2002. Losses are expected to continue for the immediate future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort from inception through the period ended October 31, 2002, towards obtaining additional equity. In this regard, the Company has raised equity of $254,020 under Private placement offerings through October 31, 2002.
4. DUE FROM RELATED PARTIES

5. INCOME TAXES
No provision was made for Federal income tax. The provision for income taxes consists of the state minimum tax imposed on corporations. Through October 31, 2002, the Company incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes of approximately $180,000. Differences between financial statement and tax losses were immaterial at October 31, 2002. The net operating loss carryforward may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2017. Net operating loss for carryforward for the State of California are generally available to reduce taxable income through the year 2007. The net deferred tax asset balance, due to net operating loss carryforward, as of July 31, 2002 was approximately $68,000. A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax asset, as the utilization of the loss carrytforward cannot reasonably be assured.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Delaware Corporation Laws and certain provisions of Van Nuys Studios, Inc.'s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles and Bylaws and to the statutory provisions.
The specific statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement which any controlling person, director or officers of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in their capacity as such, is as follows:
- a.
- Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL") empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase insurance with respect to liability arising out of the performance of their duties as directors and officers. The GCL provides further that the indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors and officers may be entitled under the corporation's by-laws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.
- b.
- Article Eight of our Certificate of Incorporation provides, in part:
"Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, incorporator, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan), may, at the option of the Board of Directors, be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent then permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, against expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan), and amounts paid in settlement incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding. Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters that antedate the adoption of this Article EIGHTH. Such right of indemnification, if any, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person."
- c.
- Section 6.1 of our By-laws provide:
"The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, including all appeals (other than an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation (and the Corporation, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, may so indemnify a person by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in any other capacity for or on behalf of the Corporation), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, decrees, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit
II-1
or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an officer or director in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea ofnolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith or in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful."
The effect of the foregoing is to require Van Nuys Studios, Inc., to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify the officers and directors of our company for any claim arising against such persons in their official capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Van Nuys Studios, Inc. pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
