EXPLANATORY NOTE
References throughout this Amended Current Report on Form 8-K to "we," "our,"
"us," "the Company," "the Registrant," "Red Giant," and similar terms refer to
Red Giant Entertainment, Inc., formerly Castmor Resources Ltd (and sometimes
"Castmor," Castmor has changed its name to Red Giant) and its subsidiary, unless
otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires. This Current
Report contains summaries of the material terms of the agreements executed in
connection with the transactions described herein. The summaries of these
agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, reference to
those agreements.
On June 18, 2012, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report")
to report that we completed the transactions contemplated by a Share Exchange
Agreement of June 6, 2012, by and among then Castmor and Benny Powell, the sole
shareholder of Red Giant Entertainment Inc., a Florida corporation ("RGE"). We
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of RGE in exchange for the
issuance in the aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of our common stock. As a result
of the Share Exchange Agreement, RGE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of then
Castmor.
We filed an Amendment Numbers 1, 2 and 3 to the Current Report on November 6,
2012, April 12, 2013 and September 20, 2013, respectively, in response to
comments received from the staff (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. This Amendment Number 4 to the Current Report is intended to respond
to further comments received from the Staff. In addition, we may be required to
file additional reports to include certain disclosures on an additional Form
8-K.
The financial statements supplied for this Amendment Number 4 to the Current
Report on Form 8-K/A are for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and for the
five month period ended May 31, 2012. We believe that the comments to each of
these financial statements referred to in the October 17, 2013 comment letter
from the Staff have been considered and that Exhibit 10.3 has been revised
accordingly. We have communicated with the auditors to make corresponding
changes for Exhibit 10.2 and will file a revised Exhibit 10.2 when such changes
are approved. The financial statements do not reflect events that may have
occurred subsequent to the original date of filing and do not modify or update
any filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission after June 18,
2012.
Status as a Shell
Prior to the time of closing the Share Exchange Agreement, we were in the
development stage and had nominal operations and limited assets, which made us a
"shell company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended ("Exchange Act"). We were not a "blank check company" as defined by
Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act").
Amendment to Form 8-K
This Amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 18, 2012 is to
provide disclosures that are required when an issuer, like us, (i) reports a
reverse merger and similar transactions and ceases to be a shell company and
(ii) to address comments from the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
This Amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 18, 2012 speaks
as of the filing date of said Current Report and does not reflect events that
may have occurred subsequent to the filing of that report, unless specifically
referring to a later date.

ITEM 1.01 - ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On June 6, 2012, Castmor Resources Ltd., a Nevada corporation, entered into and
completed a transaction contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share
Exchange Agreement") with Red Giant Entertainment Inc., a Florida corporation
("RGE") and Benny Powell (sometimes "Powell"), who owned 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares in RGE. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share
Exchange Agreement, then Castmor issued forty million (40,000,000) newly-issued
restricted shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share in
exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock in RGE owned by
Powell.
The exchange resulted in RGE becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Castmor. As a
result of the Share Exchange Agreement (and the name change), we will now
conduct all current operations through RGE and we conduct our business under the
name of Red Giant Entertainment, Inc.
RGE is an intellectual property (IP) development company for the comic book
industry and other related multiple media platforms that are delivered in
printed material or distributed over the internet.
RGE believes that the digital distribution of content provides us with the
opportunity to (i) reach a wider and more diverse audience for original stories
and for the creation of modern myths; (ii) give customers an interactive
entertainment experience; and (iii) develop a platform for advertising and
merchandise.
See Item 5.01 - Changes in Control of Registrant.
ITEM 2.01 - COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On June 11, 2012, Castmor Resources Ltd., a Nevada corporation completed a
transaction contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement with RGE and Powell who
owned, prior to the closing, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in RGE.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, Red Giant
issued forty million (40,000,000) restricted shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $0.001 per share in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of stock in RGE owned by Powell.
For accounting and operational purposes, this acquisition was a recapitalization
conducted as a reverse acquisition of Castmor with RGE being regarded as the
acquirer. Consistent with reverse acquisition accounting, all of the assets,
liabilities and accumulated earning (deficit) of RGE are retained on our
financial statements as the accounting acquirer.

<PAGE>
The information required by Item 2.01(f), not otherwise contained herein, is
disclosed in Item 5.06 below. The acquisition was accounted for as a
recapitalization effected by the issuance of restricted common stock pursuant to
a Share Exchange Agreement.
See Item 1.01 - Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement, Item 3.02
-Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, and Item 5.01 - Changes in Control of
Registrant, which are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 2.02 - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
CORPORATE HISTORY
Castmor Resources Ltd. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 27, 2005.
We had been in the exploration stage since formation and had not realized any
revenues from operations. We were primarily engaged in the acquisition and
exploration of mining properties. Upon location of a commercially minable
reserve, we expected to actively prepare the site for extraction and enter a
development stage. In 2005, we acquired mineral interests in two non-contiguous
properties located along southeastern coastal Labrador, approximately 13
kilometers northeast of the community of Charlottetown, Labrador, Canada. In
2009, our interests in these mineral properties were forfeited. On September 20,
2010, we reacquired these interests in the mineral properties. Thereafter, on
October 4, 2011, our interests in the mineral properties were again forfeited.
Since we had minimal operations, we were considered a "shell company" as that
term is defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (sometimes "1934 Act"). Although it was our initial intention to be a
mineral exploration company, due to the lack of revenues and adequate financing,
we abandoned our business plan and began seeking out potential acquisitions,
joint ventures and/or strategic relationships.
On June 6, 2012 we entered into and completed the Share Exchange Agreement with
Powell to acquire RGE. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share
Exchange Agreement, (i) RGE exchanged 100% of the issued and outstanding shares
in RGE for forty million (40,000,000) newly-issued restricted shares of the
Company's common stock and, resulting in the acquisition of RGE by the Company.
ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Effective as of June 6, 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange
Agreement described in Items 1.01, 2.01 and 5.01, we issued 40,000,000 shares of
our common stock to Powell, the sole shareholder of RGE, in exchange for all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of RGE.
The shares of common stock issued under the Share Exchange Agreement were not
registered under the Securities Act and bear restrictive legends that reflect
this status. The securities were issued in a private placement in reliance on
the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertisement for the issuance
of these securities.
In connection with this issuance, Powell represented that the securities that he
was acquiring cannot be resold except pursuant to an effective registration
under the Securities Act or in reliance on an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and that the certificates representing such
4
<PAGE>
securities bear a restrictive legend to that effect and he intends to acquire
the securities for investment only and not with a view to the resale thereof.
ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
We have had no disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial
disclosures.
ITEM 5.01 CHANGE IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
On April 16, 2012, we received the resignation of John Allen as the Company's
President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Concurrently on April 16, 2012, our Board
of Directors elected Powell to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors and he
was also appointed President, Secretary and Treasurer. Thereafter, John Allen
resigned leaving Powell as the sole director of Red Giant.
We know of no arrangements which may result in a change in control of Red Giant.
No officer, director, promoter, or affiliate of Red Giant has, or proposes to
have, any direct or indirect material interest in any asset proposed to be
acquired by us through security holdings, contracts, options, or otherwise.
The information required by Item 5.01(a)(8), not otherwise contained herein, is
disclosed in Item 5.06 below.
ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN
OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS GENERALLY
On April 16, 2012, we received the resignation of John Allen as the Company's
President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Concurrently on April 16, 2012, our Board
of Directors elected Powell to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors and he
was also appointed President, Secretary and Treasurer. Thereafter, John Allen
resigned leaving Powell as the sole director of Red Giant.
Our sole officer and director may be deemed a parent and promoter of Red Giant
as those terms is defined by the Securities Act.
Our by-laws provide that all directors hold office until the next annual
stockholders' meeting or until their death, resignation, retirement, removal,
disqualification, or until their successors have been elected and qualified. Our
officers serve at the will of the Board of Directors.
There are no agreements or understandings for any officer or director of the
Company to resign at the request of another person and none of the officers or
directors is acting on behalf of or will act at the direction of any other
person.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
Powell is the only director, executive officer and control person.
The following table presents information about the beneficial ownership of our
common stock on June 6, 2012, held by our founder, director and executive
5
<PAGE>
officer and by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our
capital stock. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is
based on 72,487,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 6, 2012.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial
ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership
includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or
shared voting or investment power.
Powell, our sole director and executive officer, currently receives no
compensation for his services as a director. We contemplate Powell being paid a
monthly salary as our executive officer of $5,000 per month.
We have not adopted any retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or
insurance programs or other similar programs for the benefit of our current
director and officer or for any future director and officer or future employees.
Powell has sole investment power and sole voting power over the shares of common
stock that he owns.
The sole remaining director may fill vacancies on the Board of Directors. The
members of our board of directors serve for one year terms and are elected at
the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors have been
elected. The officers serve at the pleasure of the board of directors.
ITEM 5.06 - CHANGE IN SHELL COMPANY STATUS
We are providing below the additional information to that reported above that
would have been included in a Form 10 as if were to file a Form 10. Please note
that the information provided below relates to the current operations acquired
through the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement referred to in Item 1.01 and
Item 2.01 above.
OVERVIEW
Red Giant Entertainment is an intellectual property development company that
intends to develop content for itself and for use on the internet and on various
multiple media platforms.Our corporate website is www.redgiantentertainment.com.
The contents of our corporate website are not made a part of this filing and
should be considered to be a website under development.
As of May 31, 2012, RGE's intellectual properties consisted of internally
developed graphic novel artwork originally contributed by Powell for equity
interests in RGE's predecessor entity and which was valued as of May 31, 2012,
after amortization, at $20,962 (see Note 5 to Exhibit 10.3). As of May 31, 2012,
we generated revenues through advertising, publishing sales and creative
6
<PAGE>
services, with the bulk of our revenues historically coming from paid book
sales. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation." As discussed below, however, paid book sales are not
expected to be the focus of our operations.
As of June 18, 2012, we have operated on the basis of revenues generated rather
than on investor capital. We may need to incur debt or raise additional equity
capital, however, to carry on operations past September 30, 2012. See
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
We believe that the digital distribution of content provides us with the
opportunity to (i) reach a wider and more diverse audience for original stories
and for the creation of modern myths; (ii) give customers an interactive
entertainment experience; and (iii) develop a platform for advertising and
merchandise.
Our properties, comic book style, are intended to be developed for both the
comic book market and also used in other media such as movies, video games,
television, novels, toys, apparel, telephone wireless applications. As of June
18, 2012, we have produced the following properties in "Webcomic" form on the
Internet through our Keenspot sites and share the advertising revenues
associated therewith (see "Electronic Book Distribution" below): Buzzboy(TM),
Shockwave(TM), Supernovas(TM), Exposure(TM), Wayward Sons: Legends(TM). We are
also developing further properties for publication in Webcomic form. While our
titles are currently geared toward the young-adult market, we expect our lineup
of titles to eventually include titles geared to all ages. The contents of our
Keenspot sites are not incorporated into this filing. We intend to eventually
publish our properties in print comic book form through our agreement with
Active Media Publishing, LLC ("Active Media"), an entity controlled by our
President and CEO, Benny Powell.
We intend to license the right to manufacture movies, video games, television,
novels, toys, apparel, and telephone wireless applications based on our
properties to third parties. We also may license to third parties the right to
produce these properties and concepts we develop in Webcomic or print form. We
anticipate receiving royalties on any production of our properties in any form
by licensees. We have not reached any final agreement with any licensees,
however, and there can be no guarantee that we will be able to license our
properties for any specific product-type on favorable terms, if at all.
We anticipate to continue offering our Webcomics and print comic books (our
"titles") at no charge and obtaining revenues from advertising rather than from
sales of our titles, but may offer certain titles on a subscription basis on the
Internet or in print form for sales as comic books, collected volumes, digest
editions, and seasonal specials, as well as offer specialty books such as
coloring books and children's activity books. The price points for these
products will vary considerably based on page count and other factors such as
type of cover and binding.
Prior to February 2012, we had sold print books through Diamond Comic
Distributors, Inc. ("DCD") under DCD's standard terms. While we retain the
ability to distribute through DCD under DCD's standard terms, however, we did
not have any third-party print distribution of our products or any paid
subscription services on the Internet as of June 18, 2012. We instead have sold
our print books directly through our websites or at conventions at prices
ranging from $14.95 to $49.95.
In addition to our existing advertising revenue sharing with Keenspot, we
anticipate generate advertising revenues through any new products published in
Webcomic form on our Keenspot sites and through advertising on our corporate
website through ProjectWonderful.com ("Project Wonderful"). We also intend to
sell and offer advertising space in our print comic books as discussed below
under "Mass Market Book Distribution." Other than our agreement with Keenspot
7
<PAGE>
and our acceptance of Project Wonderful's standard terms of service, however,
we have not entered into any other agreement related to advertising and there is
no assurance that other companies will want to advertise in our titles on
favorable terms, if at all. As of June 18, 2013, we have not sold our
advertising for set rates; rather, the rates paid for advertising are based upon
bids by advertisers. See "Revenue Recognition" in Note 1 to Exhibit 10.3 hereto.
As of June 18, 2012, we have not established a timeline to reflect the
anticipated plan of operations and we have not established any anticipated
operational milestones. Other than our agreements with Active Media and
Keenspot, we have not entered into any definitive agreements for the printing or
distribution of our titles. We may sell our titles through our corporate
website, Keenspot websites, or through book retailers.
CREATIVE AND PRODUCTION PROCESS
Red Giant intends to retain freelance artists and writers who generally are paid
on a per-page basis. We intend to enter into work-for-hire agreements with such
writers under which all intellectual property created will be owned solely or
jointly by us. The artists and writers will also be able to be eligible to
receive incentives or royalties based on the number of copies sold (net of
returns) of the comics books in which their work appears. The rates of payment
for these artists and writers vary widely depending on the artist or writer and
on the work required. We have not entered into agreements with any artists and
writers, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to enter into these
agreements on favorable terms, if at all.
The creative process begins with the development of a story line by Powell. From
the established story line, Powell or the writer develops a character's actions
and motivations into a plot. After a writer has developed the plot, a pencil
artist translates it into an action-filled pictorial sequence of events.
The penciled story is returned to the writer who adds dialogue, indicating where
the balloons and captions should be placed. The completed dialogue and artwork
are forwarded to a letterer who letters the dialogue and captions in the
balloons. Next, an inker enhances the pencil artist's work in order to make the
drawing appear three dimensional.
The artwork is then sent to a coloring artist. Typically using only four colors
in varying shades, the coloring artist uses overlays to create over 100
different tones. This artwork is subcontracted to a color separator who produces
separations and sends the finished material to the printer for electronic or
physical distribution.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
We intend to initially engage in three areas of distribution. Our goal and
objective is to engage initially in licensing, and thereafter, in direct
production to the mass market retail book reader, to those who collect books and
to those who read using the internet as a source of product. We further believe
that our properties can be adapted for video games and application
entertainment.

<PAGE>
MASS MARKET BOOK DISTRIBUTION
The "Mass Market Book" line is intended to consist of four main monthly titles
with a fifth quarterly title that is intended to fill out the calendar to insure
a full 52 week schedule. Each book's format is intended to be 64 pages in total,
plus 4-page cover.
As of June 18, 2012, each Mass Market book is intended to consist of 32 pages of
issue content, two to four pages for editorial content and up to 30 pages
interior and three "premium" cover pages (inside front, inside back and back
cover) for advertising. The "Center Spread" is intended also to be a premium
spot and is intended to be reserved for advertisements. We intend to use the
saddle stich binding typically used for individual comic book issues for our
Mass Market line.
Our Mass Market line is expected to be offered at no charge with revenue
obtained from selling advertising space. We expect to distribute our Mass Market
line through a third-party distributor to book retailers, specialty shops and
comic book shops. By doing this, we expect to build consumer recognition and
demand through the free offering of the Mass Market line that we anticipate will
allow us to collect issues of our more popular titles into our Collected Book
line for sale, either directly or through a third-party distributor.
COLLECTED BOOK DISTRIBUTION
The "Collected" line is intended to consist of four to five issues previously
released as part of our monthly Mass Market Book line, bundled together with
extra material to create what is called a "graphic novel" for that individual
comic title. These are intended be sold through regular comic book and book
store markets as well as direct to consumers through an online store. Our
Collected line may be either in either soft or hardcover and will be sold at
price points varying based on page count and other factors such as cover and
binding.
ELECTRONIC BOOK DISTRIBUTION
We believe that the electronic book distribution market is in its infancy and we
intend to attempt to enter into this market. We have been operating under an
agreement with Keenspot Entertainment ("Keenspot") as filed herewith as Exhibit
10.4 for Keenspot to host the internet web versions of our various projects as
well as handle the digital application and mobile media distribution channels as
well. Keenspot.com currently has comic properties which include a network of
more than four dozen Keenspot-exclusive web comic sites, in addition to the
user-generated comics site ComicGenesis.com, which hosts over 10,000 independent
web comics. According to Google Analytics data, Keenspot sites in aggregate have
over 2 million unique visitors monthly. Keenspot also produces animated shorts
under the Keentoons label which are distributed internationally by ThunderSquid
to mobile phone carriers worldwide including Verizon V-CAST (U.S.) and O2
(U.K.).
While our strategic partnership with Keenspot has generated unique viewers to
our Keenspot sites, and we expect this to help us increase our revenues, there
is no guarantee our Keenspot sites will continue to generate unique viewers or
material increase our revenues, if our revenues increase at all.
9
<PAGE>
ADVERTISING
We generate advertising revenues through our Keenspot websites and share 50% of
such revenues with Keenspot in exchange for Keenspot's advertising, hosting, IT,
and sales management services.
We also generate revenues by selling advertising on our corporate website
through Project Wonderful and share 25% of such revenues with Project Wonderful
for its services.
The rates paid for advertising are based upon bids by advertisers. See "Revenue
Recognition" in Note 1 to Exhibit 10.3 hereto.
PRODUCTION
We intend to have three stages of production. First is the creative phase of our
comics into electronic, printable files. Second is the printing phase where
these electronic files are turned into paper periodicals. Third, there is a
digital phase that converts the files into electronic media suitable for
dissemination as applications or Web content. Other than the creative phase, we
intend to enter into contracts with unrelated third parties for each of the
stages of production.
COMPETITION
The comic book and the related intellectual development industries are highly
competitive with little or no barriers to entry. We compete with publishers and
creative individuals.
Most of our competitors are part of integrated entertainment companies and all
have greater resources than we do. We also face competition from other
entertainment media, such as movies and video games, but believe that we benefit
from the low price of comic books, sports and entertainment trading cards and
children's activity sticker collections in relation to such other products.
The market for digital distribution of content and products and related Internet
services and products is intensely competitive. Since there are no substantial
barriers to entry, we expect competition in these markets to intensify. We
believe that the principal competitive factors in these markets are name
recognition, performance, ease of use and functionality. Our existing
competitors, as well as a number of potential new competitors, may have longer
operating histories in the digital distribution market, greater name
recognition, larger customer bases and databases and significantly greater
financial, technical and marketing resources. Such competitors may be able to
undertake more extensive marketing campaigns and make more attractive offers to
potential employees. Further, there can be no assurance that our competitors
will not develop services and products that are equal or superior to our or that
achieve greater market acceptance than our offerings in the area of name
recognition, performance, ease of use and functionality. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or
future competitors or that competition will not have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
PATENT, TRADEMARK, LICENSE & FRANCHISE RESTRICTIONS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
& CONCESSIONS
There are inherent risk factors and circumstances associated with the
development of intellectual properties and we plan to obtain protection on with
applicable patents and trademarks. We intend to protect our intellectual
10
<PAGE>
properties from license infringements or violations. RGE has not entered into
any licenses or franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or
could give rise to obligations or concessions.
Our success depends in part upon our protection of our intellectual properties.
We will principally rely upon copyright and contract law to protect our
proprietary properties. There can be no assurance that the steps taken will be
adequate to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual properties.
EMPLOYEES
Red Giant's only employee at the present time is Powell, our Chief Executive
Officer, President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and sole director since
June 11, 2012. Powell was the founder of Red Giant Entertainment (acquired by
the Company on June 11, 2012) and served as its Chief Executive Officer from
formation in January 2011 to its acquisition by the Company. He also founded and
has served as Chief Executive Officer of Active Media from 2003 to present. See
"Certain Relationship and Related Transactions." As of June 18, 2012, Mr. Powell
has spent substantially all of his time on us.
We have no intention of hiring further employees until the business has been
successfully launched and we have sufficient, reliable revenue flowing into RGE
from either sales or licensing operations. We do not expect to hire any other
employees until March 2013. We do not have an employment agreement with Powell.
FACILITIES
We are operating from rented office space located at 614 East Highway 50, Suite
235 Clermont, Florida 34711 at the rate of $300 per month. We will continue to
use this space for our executive offices for the foreseeable future. We
anticipate entering into a month to month rental agreement for added space in
January 2013 or earlier if we obtain a positive cash flow from operations.
COMMON STOCK (AND PREFERRED STOCK)
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 900,000,000 shares of
common stock with $.0001 par value (and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
without par value). No shares of preferred stock have been issued. Each record
holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held in all
matters properly submitted to the shareholders for their vote. Cumulative voting
for the election of directors is not permitted.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or
known violation of law or for the payment of dividends in violation of Nevada
Revised Statutes, there shall be no personal liability of a director or officer
to the Company, or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director or officer. The Company may indemnify any person for expenses
incurred, including attorney's fees, in connection with their good faith acts if
they reasonably believe such acts are in and not opposed to the best interests
of the Company and for acts for which the person had no reason to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. The Company may indemnify the officers and directors
for expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
11
<PAGE>
the director or officer to repay the amount of such expenses if it is ultimately
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in which the action or suit is
brought determined that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for such expenses which the court deems proper.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be
permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling the Company pursuant to
the foregoing, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
We have been informed that the Commission will not issue "no action" letters
relating to the resale of securities, i.e., a person who has acquired shares of
stock in a 4(2) transaction, or either, under the Securities Act and who offers
and sells the restricted securities without complying with Rule 144 is to be put
on notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission that in view of the broad
remedial purposes of the Securities Act and the public policy which strongly
supports registration under said act, that those individuals will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and the brokers of
other person who participate in the transaction do so at their own risk. We have
also been informed that any indemnification for liabilities arising from such a
transaction may also be against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Item 9.01.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
For accounting and operational purposes, our acquisition of RGE was a
recapitalization conducted as a reverse acquisition of Castmor with RGE being
regarded as the acquirer, and we regard RGE's inception of January 1, 2011 as
our inception.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, sales were $53,286 under a cost
of sales of $27,563, resulting in gross profit of $25,723.
For the five month period ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, we had:
* sales of $38,686 and $13,429, respectively;
* cost of sales of $23,335 and $4,222, respectively; and
* gross profit of $15,351 and $9,207, respectively.
For the five month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, we incurred $5,195 and
$5,066 in operating expenses, respectively. The slight increase is attributable
to offsetting increases and decreases in professional fees, advertising, and
communications.
Our cash in the bank at May 31, 2012 was $705. Net cash provided by financing
activities during the five months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 was $10,869 and
$1,426 from cash contributed by Powell for equity interests in RGE's predecessor
entity.
12
<PAGE>
Net cash used in operating activities during the five months ended May 31, 2012
and 2011 was $10,261 and $1,426, retrospectively. The increase was due to
increases in operational activities. For the five months ended May 31, 2012 and,
2011, we reported net income of $10,156 and $4,141, respectively. Our material
financial obligations for the future will include our public reporting expenses,
transfer agent fees, bank fees, and other recurring fees, combined with any
additional operating expense related to our new business.
In its report on our December 31, 2011 audited financial statements, our
auditors expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any
adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We are a newly
formed entity and have had revenues of only $91,972 since inception in the form
of $12,658 in advertising revenue, $53,938 in publishing sales and $25,376 in
creative services (i.e., artwork, writing, advertising, and other creative
endeavors we handle for outside clients). Each of our three primary revenue
sources are more fully discussed under the subheading "Revenue Recognition" in
the respective Note 1 to Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3 hereto. Our continuation as a
going concern is dependent upon including our ability to raise additional
capital and to generate positive cash flows. As disclosed above under "Overview"
and "Products and Services," paid book sales are not expected to be the focus of
our operations. Instead, we intend to (i) license the right to manufacture
products based on our properties to third parties; (ii) offer our titles at no
charge and obtain revenues from advertising; and (iii) may offer certain titles
on a subscription basis on the Internet or in print form for prices yet to be
determined.
During the next twelve months, we plan to consider seeking financing
opportunities if needed to commence a growth plan that will include the
execution of our business plan, which financing opportunities may, but need not,
include selling additional equity in the form of common stock. As of June 18,
2012, however, we had not yet decided on any specific plans to raise additional
funds and had not calculated the amount of funds necessary to accomplish our
business goals as we intended to fund our operations through our revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of May 31, 2012, we had cash or cash equivalents of $705 which is the only
amount available to us for current expenses until such time as we are able to
secure additional investment capital. Our recent rate of use of cash in our
operations over the last nine months has been approximately $0 per month. Unless
we incur debt or raise additional equity capital we may not have sufficient
capital to carry on operations past September 30, 2012. Our long term capital
requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many
factors, including the eventual reporting company costs, and operating expenses,
among others. If we are unable to raise additional capital, generate sufficient
revenue, receive loans from the officers on an as needed basis, or enter into a
merger or acquisition transaction, we may have to curtail or cease our
operations.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the period from inception, through
May 31, 2012, was $0.
Liquidity is a measure of a company's ability to meet potential cash
requirements. In the future, we anticipate we may be able to provide the
necessary liquidity we need by the revenues generated from the sales of one or
more of our mineral properties or entering into a Joint Venture with an
unrelated third party. If we do not generate sufficient sales revenues we may
finance our operations through equity and/or debt financings.
13
<PAGE>
SATISFACTION OF FUTURE OBLIGATIONS
A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is
the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt
financing. We do not anticipate enough positive internal operating cash flow
until such time as we can generate substantial revenues, which may take the
several months or years to fully realize. In the event we cannot obtain the
necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to cease or
significantly curtail our operations. This would materially impact our ability
to continue operations.
Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through issuance of
common stock for cash and services. As we expand operational activities, we may
experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of sales or
development fees, and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund
operations through common stock offerings and debt borrowings to the extent
necessary to provide working capital.
Over the next twelve months we may seek additional capital in the future to fund
growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit
facilities. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available, and
if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the
financing could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our
stockholders.
We anticipate incurring operating losses over the next six months or more. Our
lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results
difficult to ascertain. Risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and
unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these
risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our
business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, an
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks,
and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates. All significant accounting policies have been disclosed in Note 2 to
the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions,
estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes
thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any.
We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the
preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important
for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations.
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal
14
<PAGE>
of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's
difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to
make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may
change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of
the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ
significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following
critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and
judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Our critical accounting policies are summarized below:
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements included in our filings have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the
continuance of our Company as a going concern. Management may use borrowings and
security sales to mitigate the effects of its cash position; however, no
assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will
be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue
existence.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company's intellectual property consists of graphic novel artwork and was
contributed by a shareholder to the Company. The intangible is being amortized
over its life of five years.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company follows the guidance of paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FAS Accounting
Standards Codification for Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue
when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue
realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been
shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales
price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the 1934 Act and
are not required to provide the information under this item.
15
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes a liability or asset for deferred tax consequences of all
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax items mainly relate to net
operating loss carry forwards and accrued expenses. These deferred tax assets or
liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for
recoverability, and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely
than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes net loss per share and requires presentation of both basic
and diluted earnings per share, EPS, on the face of the income statement. Basic
EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding
during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the
average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares
assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted
EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities only basic
loss per share is presented in the accompanying financial statements
RECENTLY ANNOUNCED PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring entities to
present net income and other comprehensive income (OCI) in one continuous
statement or two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and
comprehensive income. The option to present items of OCI in the statement of
changes in equity has been eliminated. The new requirements are effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim
reporting periods within those years. We do not expect the adoption to have a
material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued further additional authoritative guidance related
to fair value measurements and disclosures. The new guidance results in a
consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of
and disclosure about fair value between accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS). The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within
those years beginning after December 15, 2011. We are currently assessing the
impact of the guidance.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, "Revenue Recognition - Milestone
Method (Topic 605)." This ASU provides guidance on defining a milestone and
determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue
recognition for research and development transactions. This update was effective
in the second quarter of 2011. Adoption of this update is not anticipated to
have a material impact on the Company's results of operation or financial
position.
16
<PAGE>
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, "Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements."
This ASU requires additional disclosures about significant unobservable inputs
and transfers within Level 1 and 2 measurements. Adoption of this update did not
have any impact on the Company's results of operation or financial position.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
RISK FACTORS
The securities described herein involve a high degree of risk. Interested
persons should carefully consider, among others, the risk factors described
below. As used in the Risk Factors, the term the "Company" when used in this
"Risk Factors" section may refer to Red Giant or RGE on a combined asset basis,
based on the context of the language presented. If any of the following risks
actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations
could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline,
and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider
the various risks involved in investing in our shares, which include, among
others, the following factors:
1. We will be a reorganized company and still be deemed to be a so-called
start-up company.
Red Giant is reorganizing to engage in a new and different business. If
successful, of which there is no assurance, the newly reorganized business, will
still be deemed to be a start-up company that has generated a limited amount of
revenue its inception. We expect to incur significant operating losses for the
foreseeable future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to
validate and market products in the future that will generate revenues or that
any revenues generated will be sufficient for us to become profitable or
thereafter maintain profitability.
2. As a start-up or development stage company, our business and prospects are
difficult to evaluate because we have a very limited operating history and our
business model is evolving, an investment in us is considered a high risk
investment whereby you could lose your entire investment.
We have just commenced operations and, therefore, we are considered a "start-up"
or "development stage" company. We have had limited income from the sale of
intellectual properties. We will incur significant expenses in order to
implement our business plan. As an investor, you should be aware of the
difficulties, delays and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its
development stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated
developmental expenses, and advertising and marketing expenses. We cannot assure
you that our proposed business plan will materialize or prove successful, or
that we will ever be able to operate profitably. If we cannot operate
profitably, you could lose your entire investment.
We have not established a timeline to reflect the anticipated plan of operations
and we have not established an anticipated operational milestone. Accordingly,
we face the challenge of successfully implementing our business plan without an
established timeline that reflects operational milestones. There is nothing at
17
<PAGE>
this time on which to base an assumption that our business will prove
successful, and there is no assurance that we will be able to operate profitably
if or when operations commence. You may lose your entire investment do to our
lack of experience.
Our plan of operation is our best estimate and analysis of the potential market,
opportunities and difficulties that we face. There can be no assurances that the
underlying assumptions accurately reflect our opportunities and potential for
success. Competition for the marketing of intellectual property rights is
intense, and with other economic forces, this makes forecasting of revenues and
costs difficult and unpredictable. If our estimates and analysis is incorrect,
you could lose your entire investment.
3. Our working capital may be limited. We may need additional capital to fund
our operations and finance future growth, and we may not be able to obtain it on
terms acceptable to us or at all. This may impede our growth and operating
results.
Our ability to commence and continue operations and operate as a going concern
may depend on our ability to borrow funds from Powell and unrelated third
parties, and the receipt of proceeds from the sale or marketing of our
intellectual properties. As of this date, we have generated limited income and
there can be no assurance that any substantial income will be forthcoming in the
future. Our inability to fund our operations may impede our growth and operating
results and may also result in a loss of your investment.
4. Failure to secure additional financing may result in termination of Red
Giant's operations and eliminate any value in Red Giant's stock.
We may require additional financing in order to establish profitable operations.
Such financing, if required, may not be forthcoming. Even if additional
financing is available, it may not be available on terms we find favorable.
Failure to secure the needed additional financing may have a very serious, if
not fatal, effect on our ability to survive.
5. Red Giant's and RGE's business model is unproven. Thus it is difficult for an
investor to determine the likelihood of success or risk to his investment.
Due to our limited operating history, the revenue and income potential of our
business is unproven. If we cannot successfully implement our business
strategies of creating and marketing of intellectual properties, we may not be
able to generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably. Consequently our
shareholders may lose a substantial portion of or their entire investment.
6. Red Giant's auditor has expressed doubts as to our ability to continue as a
going concern.
In the opinion of our auditor, since we had not generated revenue from
operations prior to the acquisition of RGE, it raises substantial doubt about
Red Giant ability to continue as a going concern. With our limited income after
the acquisition of RGE, we have no reason to believe that our auditor will
change his view. Our current limited revenue creates doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
7. The loss of Powell or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel
could significantly disrupt or harm our business and our operating results would
suffer.
18
<PAGE>
We are wholly dependent, at present, on the personal efforts and abilities of
Powell, our sole officer and director. The loss of services of Powell will
disrupt if not stop our operations. In addition, our success will depend on our
ability to attract and retain highly motivated, well-qualified employees. Our
inability to recruit and retain such individuals may delay the planned expansion
of our limited operations and or result in high employee turnover, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations once
commenced. Accordingly, without suitable replacements and employees to operate
RGE, our operations may suffer.
8. Powell will have substantial control of us by voting his majority of shares
of common stock, electing our directors, appointing our officers and by
exercising his power as sole officer and sole director.
Powell, our sole director and officer, beneficially owns approximately 55% of
our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of this stock ownership and
his position as our sole officer and director, Powell will continue to influence
all aspects of us, including the election of directors, amendments to the
certificate of incorporation and the by-laws, the approval of significant
corporate transactions, and the determination of his compensation. This
consolidation of voting power could also delay, deter or prevent a change of our
control that might be otherwise beneficial to shareholders.
9. Benny Powell, our sole officer and director as of June 18, 2018, also founded
and controls Active Media, the company through which we intend to eventually
publish our properties in print form.
As Mr. Powell controls both us and Active Media, the compensation we pay to
Active Media was not determined through arm's length negotiations. See "Certain
Relationship and Related Transactions." Conflicts of interest between us and
Active Media may occur from time to time, including conflicts regarding
compensation, terms of payment, and Mr. Powell's allocation of time and
resources between us and Active Media. Unless we retain other officers and
directors, these conflicts will not be resolved by arm's-length negotiations,
but rather by the exercise of Mr. Powell's judgment consistent with his
fiduciary duties to us. If we are unable to satisfactorily resolve such
potential conflicts, our ability to operate at a profit will be harmed.
Moreover, unless we retain other officers or directors, any such potential
conflicts could divert our sole officer and director's focus from our operations
to resolve such conflicts and could harm our results of operation.
10. We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our shares nor will we in
the foreseeable future.
You will not receive dividend income from an investment in the shares and as a
result, the purchase of the shares should only be made by an investor who does
not expect a dividend return on the investment.
We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operation
and expansion of our business. Accordingly, investors who anticipate the need
for immediate income from their investments by way of cash dividends should
refrain from purchasing any of our securities. As we do not intend to declare
dividends in the future, you may never see a return on your investment and you
indeed may lose your entire investment.
11. Our common stock is considered a penny stock, which is subject to
restrictions on marketability, so you may not be able to sell your shares.
Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to
their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure
19
<PAGE>
requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock,
which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell
their securities.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00
(other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or
quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior
to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about
penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also
must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account. The broker-dealer must also make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to
the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by
such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in
our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of
our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to
sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
12. Powell has no experience related to public company management. As a result,
we may be unable to manage our public reporting requirements.
Our operations depend entirely on the efforts of our sole officer and director.
While he has expertise with which we will rely upon to grow and manage our
business operations, he has no experience related to public company management,
nor as a principal accounting officer. Because of this, we may be unable to
develop and manage our public reporting requirements. There is no assurance that
we will overcome any such obstacle.
13. We will incur professional fees in connection with being a reporting company
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Our Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and as
such, we are required to file 10-Ks, 10-Qs and 8-Ks and other reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We will incur professional fees (i.e.,
attorney, auditors and filing agents) in connection with the preparation and
filing of such reports and we currently anticipate such costs to range from
$12,000 to $18,000 per year. If we are unable to file such reports, we will be
delinquent in our filings which could adversely affect the marketability of the
Shares.
14. The failure to comply with the internal control evaluation and certification
requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act could harm our operations and
our ability to comply with our periodic reporting obligations.
As a reporting company under the 1934 Act, we are required to comply with the
internal control evaluation and certification requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We are in the process of determining whether our
existing internal controls over financial reporting systems are compliant with
Section 404. This process may divert internal resources and will take a
significant amount of time, effort and expense to complete. If it is determined
that we are not in compliance with Section 404, we may be required to implement
20
<PAGE>
new internal control procedures and reevaluate our financial reporting. We may
experience higher than anticipated operating expenses as well as outside auditor
fees during the implementation of these changes and thereafter. Further, we may
need to hire additional qualified personnel in order for us to be compliant with
Section 404. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or
efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial
results and could result in our being unable to obtain an unqualified report on
internal controls from our independent auditors, which could adversely affect
our ability to comply with our periodic reporting obligations under the 1934
Act.
15. Because we were a "shell company," investors in our company will not be able
to rely on Rule 144 to sell their shares of stock until at least one year after
we cease to be a shell company.
Red Giant was a shell company prior to filing the periodic report on Form 8-K as
to this transaction and therefore certain of its shareholders may not currently
utilize Rule 144 to sell their shares. Rule 144 is not available for sales of
shares of companies that are or have been "shell companies" except under certain
conditions. We completed this acquisition and we believe that we removed our
status as a shell company by filing this report on Form 8-K. Shareholders are
able to utilize Rule 144 one year after the filing of this Form 8-K, assuming it
files the documents it is required to file as a reporting company. Investors in
the Company whose shares have been registered in an effective and current
registration statement will be able to sell their shares pursuant to said
registration statement. They will not be able to rely on Rule 144 to sell their
shares during the one year period after the filing of this Form 8-K changing our
shell status if the registration statement's effectiveness is not maintained on
a temporary or permanent basis.
On February 15, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules
amending Rule 144 (and Rule 145) for shell companies. The amendments currently
in full force and effect provide that the current revised holding periods
applicable to affiliates and non-affiliates (our sole officer and director) is
not now available for securities currently issued by either a reporting or
non-reporting shell company, unless certain conditions are met. It may also
affect further sales of securities by us that are not registered under the
Securities Act. An investor will be able to resell securities issued by a shell
company subject to Rule 144 conditions if the reporting or non-reporting issuer
(i) had ceased to be a shell, (ii) is subject to the 1934 Act reporting
obligations, (iii) has filed all required 1934 Act reports during the preceding
twelve months, and (iv) at least 90 days has elapsed from the time the issuer
has filed the "Form 10 Information" reflecting the fact that it had ceased to be
a shell company before any securities were sold Rule 144. .
On June 29, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules
amending the Form S-8 and the Form 8-K for shell companies. These amendments
expand the definition of a shell company to be broader than a company with no or
nominal operations/assets or assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents, the
amendments prohibit the use of a Form S-8 (a form used by a corporation to
register securities issued to an employee, director, officer, consultant or
advisor, under certain circumstances), and revise the Form 8-K to require a
shell company to include current Form 10 information, including audited
financial statements, in the filing on Form 8-K that the shell company files to
report the acquisition of a business opportunity.
The rules are designed to assure that investors in shell companies that
subsequently acquire further operations or assets have access on a timely basis
to the same kind of information as is available to investors in public companies
with continuing operations.
21
<PAGE>
16. Future sales of restricted shares could decrease the price a willing buyer
would pay for shares of our common stock, could cause our price to decline and
could impair our ability to raise capital.
Future sales of common stock by existing shareholders or a new issuance by Red
Giant under exemptions from registration or through a subsequent registered
offering could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock
and could materially impair our future ability to raise capital through an
offering of equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect, if any, that
market sales of these shares, or the availability of these shares for future
sale, will have on the prevailing market price of our common stock at any given
time.
17. You may not be able to resell any shares you purchased in our company.
There is a limited trading market for our common stock at present and there has
been no trading market to date. There is no assurance that the trading market
will continue. This means that it may be hard or impossible for you to find a
willing buyer for your shares should you decide to sell them in the future.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS
Powell, our sole director, can fill any vacancy on our Board of Directors.
Directors are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and
until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers are appointed
to serve until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual
meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been selected and
qualified.
Our sole director, Powell has not been the subject of any order, judgment or
decree of any Court of competent jurisdiction, or any regulatory agency
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring suspending or otherwise limiting
him from acting as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in the
securities industry, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of an
investment company, bank, savings and loan association, or insurance company or
from engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with any
such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any securities.
Powell is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
We have not established an audit committee. In addition, we do not have any
other compensation or executive or similar committees. We will not, in all
likelihood, establish an audit committee until such time as the Company
generates a positive cash flow of which there can be no assurance. We recognize
that an audit committee, when established, will play a critical role in our
financial reporting system by overseeing and monitoring management's and the
independent auditors' participation in the financial reporting process. At such
time as we establish an audit committee, its additional disclosures with our
auditors and management may promote investor confidence in the integrity of the
financial reporting process.
Until such time as an audit committee has been established, our sole director
now, and in the future, our full board of directors will undertake those tasks
normally associated with an audit committee to include, but not by way of
limitation, the (i) review and discussion of the audited financial statements
22

with management, and (ii) discussions with the independent auditors the matters
required to be discussed by the Statement On Auditing Standards No. 61 and No.
90, as may be modified or supplemented.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
There are no employment contracts, compensatory plans or arrangements, including
payments to be received from Red Giant, with respect to any director or
executive officer of Red Giant which would in any way result in payments to any
such person because of his or her resignation, retirement or other termination
of employment with Red Giant, any change in control of Red Giant, or a change in
the person's responsibilities following a change in control of Red Giant.
OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS
None of our executive officers received any equity awards, including, options,
restricted stock or other equity incentives during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2011 and as of the date hereof.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 or 2011, there were no
arrangements between us and Powell that resulted in our making payments to our
director for any services provided to us by him.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
By the definition of Rule 405 of the Securities Act Powell is a promoter of Red
Giant in that he is a "person who, acting alone or in conjunction with one or
more other persons, directly or indirectly takes initiative in founding and
organizing the business or enterprise of an issuer." Powell has not, nor will
he, receive anything of value or other consideration as a promoter of Red Giant.
No person who may, in the future, be considered a promoter of this offering,
will receive or expect to receive assets, services or other considerations from
us. No assets will be, nor are expected to be, acquired from any promoter on
behalf of our company. Other than as set forth below, we have not entered into
any agreements that require disclosure to our shareholders.
As of June 28, 2012, we had an oral agreement with Active Media, an entity
controlled by our President and CEO, Benny Powell, under which Active Media
agreed to provide print services to us on a non-exclusive basis at near cost
23
<PAGE>
prices. In 2011, we made a $5,050 payment for print costs to Active Media, an
entity controlled by our President and CEO, Benny Powell. It is anticipated that
printing services for our comic books will be done by Active Media. An
approximate value of this agreement going forward cannot accurately be estimated
as it depends on (i) whether we choose to use Active Media for our printing
needs; (ii) the amount of our printing needs; and (iii) factors varying Active
Media's costs of printing.
SECTION 16(a) COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act requires directors and executive officers, and
persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of
changes of ownership of our common stock. Officers, directors and greater than
ten percent stockholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We
have no knowledge that, as of the date of this filing, other than Powell, who
owns more than ten percent of our common stock, of any person who has failed to
file an initial Form 3, Form 4 current report, or an annual Form 5 in a timely
manner.
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR
We have no currently "independent director" as that term is defined in Rule
4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers. We are not presently required to have independent directors.
TRANSFER AGENT
Holladay Stock Transfer currently serves as the independent transfer agent and
registrar for our outstanding securities. The transfer agent's telephone number
is (480) 481-3940.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S
COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's common stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") on March 4, 2008 under the symbol
"CASL."
There is a very limited sporadic trading market for our common stock at present
and there has been no established trading market to date. There is no assurance
that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that
it will continue.
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 15g 9, which established the
definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to the company, as any
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i)
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written
agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the
24
<PAGE>
penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial
information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii)
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience
in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in
penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction
in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to
the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on
which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the
broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to
the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in
penny stock in both public offering and in secondary trading, and about
commissions payable to both the broker dealer and the registered representative,
current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to
an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly
statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny
stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
As a result being a penny stock, the market liquidity for our common stock may
be adversely affected since the regulations on penny stocks could limit the
ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and thus your ability to sell
our common stock in the secondary market.
The rules governing penny stock require the delivery, prior to any penny stock
transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the
risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $250,000, $300,000 together with
a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. The broker-dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and
offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole
market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's
presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the
customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and in writing
before or with the customer confirmation. Monthly statements must be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens
imposed on broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage them from
effecting transactions in the securities underlying the shares, which could
severely limit the liquidity of the securities underlying the shares and the
ability of purchasers in this offering to sell the securities underlying the
shares in the secondary market.
SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD
The number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of the date of
this current report is approximately 45.
DIVIDENDS
Holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to such dividends as
may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally
available funds; and, in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of Red Giant, holders are entitled to receive, ratably, the net
assets of Red Giant available to shareholders after distribution is made to the
preferred shareholders, if any, who are given preferred rights upon liquidation.
25
<PAGE>
Holders of outstanding shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or
redemptive rights. To the extent that additional shares of Red Giant's common
stock are issued, the relative interest of then existing shareholders may be
diluted. The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of
Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital
requirements, our financial condition, and other relevant factors. We have not
paid or declared any dividends upon our common stock since our inception and, by
reason of our present financial status and our contemplated financial
requirements; we do not anticipate paying any dividends upon our common stock in
the foreseeable future.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
There is currently no Stock Option Plan in place.
CODE OF ETHICS.
We have adopted a Code of Ethics.
