Item 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

        On August 25, 2004,  Point.360  (the  "Company")  closed  escrow for the
purchase of land and a building from General  Electric  Capital  Business  Asset
Funding  Corporation,  an unaffiliated  entity,  pursuant to an option and price
contained in a lease  agreement dated November 26, 2003. The 65,000 squared foot
building, located in Los Angeles,  California,  will be used to consolidate four
existing vault facilities which store customers' media assets.

        The Company paid approximately $8.6 million for the real property,  $2.2
million in cash and $6.4  million of  mortgage  debt.  See Item 2.03 below for a
description of the mortgage debt.


Item 2.03.  CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL  OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.

        On August 18, 2004,  the Company  entered into a Standing Loan Agreement
and Swap Commitment with Bank of America,  N.A. (the  "Agreement").  Pursuant to
the Agreement,  the Company  borrowed on August 25, 2004  $6,435,000  payable in
monthly  installments  of principal and interest on a fully amortized basis over
15 years.  The mortgage debt is secured by real property  described in Item 2.01
above.

        In connection  with the Agreement,  the Company  entered into a one-year
interest rate swap contract to economically  hedge the mortgage debt.  Under the
terms of the swap  agreement,  the amount hedged was $6,435,000 at a fixed 4.35%
interest rate for the first year.  Prior to the end of the first year, in August
2005,  the Company is obligated  to "fix" the interest  rate with respect to the
remaining 14 years of the mortgage debt term based on a fixed rate quoted by the
banks or LIBOR plus 1.85% for that period.

        The maximum  undiscounted  potential amount of future mortgage principal
and interest  payments,  assuming a one-year forward  "all-in"  interest rate of
7.58%, is $10,608,000.


Item 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

  10.1  Standing  Loan  Agreement  dated August 18, 2004 between the Company and
        Bank of America, N.A.
