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 June 30, 1998 and the results
of operations and cash flows for the six months then ended.
1(A) During the quarter, the Company and its Co-Producing partner,
Syracuse Productions, LLC, undertook a slight re-edit of and continued
post-production work on the feature film entitled "FREAK TALKS ABOUT
SEX" (formerly "SYRACUSE MUSE"). The producers are considering various
options for marketing the film to potential distributors, including
direct marketing to distributors and various film festivals.
The Company and Owasco Entertainment, whose principals are the same as
Syracuse Productions, LLC, have an option to produce a feature film
based upon a screenplay entitled "FACE VALUE" from the author, Lynne
Adams. The two companies will co-produce the film and they are
currently negotiating with companies for production financing 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 of the film in early 1999.
The Company and Owasco Entertainment have obtained an option on the
novel THE HELL CANDIDATE by Graham Masterton, a prolific British horror
novelist. The companies are negotiating with an "A" list screen writer
to adapt the novel into a screenplay and are seeking financing and/or
development financing from major studios. The Producers anticipate that
a film based on the novel will be a "large" budget film.
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 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 HELL CANDIDATE, " "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 received no revenues on account of film distribution
royalties in the second quarter.
Management believes that the company has no material risk or costs
associated with the Year 2000 problem. The Company cannot assess the
risk of third-party vendors or licensees of films already in release,
but the Year 2000 problem could affect the accounting of any licensees
to the Company for royalties due. The Company does intend to inquire of
any potential future licensees or distributors regarding their Year
2000 compliance as part of the negotiations for any licensing, royalty
or distribution agreement.
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.
