STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT
-----------------------
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1998 and the results
of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended.
1(A) During the quarter, the Company and its Co-Producing partner,
Syracuse Productions, LLC, completed post-production work on the feature
film entitled "FREAK TALKS ABOUT SEX" (formerly "SYRACUSE MUSE"). The
film has been screened for several potential distribution companies, but
received no acceptable offers for distribution. The Co-Producers intend
to do a slight re-edit of the film and seek to enter the film in the
Toronto and/or New York film festivals in the Fall of 1998 and continue
to screen the film for potential distributors.
The Company and Owasco Entertainment, whose principals are the same as
Syracuse Productions, LLC, have obtained an option to produce a feature
film based upon a screenplay entitled "FACE VALUE" from the author,
Lynne Adams. The two companies would co-produce the film and they are
currently seeking production financing for the film and negotiating with
so-called "A" list talent to appear in the film and an "A" list director
to direct the film. The Co-Producers hope to commence principal
photography on the film by the end of 1998.
The Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to Frank
LaLoggia pursuant to, and in completion of, an Agreement dated July 2,
1996. The stock has been registered with the S.E.C. on Form S-8 dated
February 2, 1998. A copy of the Agreement was annexed as an Exhibit to
the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
The Company entered into a distribution agreement for a so-called
"Director's Cut" of its feature film "LADY IN WHITE" which was released
on DVD format during the first quarter of 1998.
The Company continues to carry its investments in feature films as an
asset of the Company under Film Inventory, amortizing these costs when
funds are received on the various film investments and at other times
management believes a write-down of the unamortized costs is
appropriate.
The Company has title to and/or interests in the following feature film
properties, which are in development or completed: "FREAK TALKS ABOUT
SEX," "FACE VALUE," "THE GIANT" and "THE GODMOTHER." The Company has
released two feature films: "FEAR NO EVIL" and "LADY IN WHITE." The
Company was also an investor, in 1989, in a feature film entitled "GRAVE
SECRETS," produced by Planet Productions, Inc.
- 7 -
The Company has not filed Federal or New York State tax returns for the
years 1992, 1993 and 1994 and has not paid any tax due for those years
nor for 1995, 1996 or 1997 because of lack of funds for the preparation
of the returns and the payment of tax. The Company believes no Federal
tax would be due to the Company's continuing losses. However, the
Company believes it owes New York State tax based upon capital and has
been accruing estimated amounts for such tax since 1992.
1(B) Financial Condition --
1. Working capital is inadequate. (Current Ratio is nil)
2. The Company has no outstanding debt other than current payables and
accrued expenses.
