Film and Music Entertainment ("FAME" -------------------------- or the "Company") is a Nevada Corporation listed on the Pink Sheets (FLME:PK). The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on January 3, 1996 as Imporex Investment Corp. and focused on developing streaming video technology until 2000 when it shut down significant operations and became effectively inactive. In 2003 John Daly joined the Board and became President. Under his direction the Company re-focused on entertainment and changed its name to Film and Music Entertainment, Inc. The Company also acquired real estate and has developed its first feature film: "The Aryan Couple" which was released in December, 2004 in two theaters for Academy consideration for the Oscar awards. Four additional features are in various stages of development. In May, 2003 the Company announced stock swap agreements for the acquisition of two private companies, Myrob Properties, Inc., a California corporation, and East Mojave Corporation, a Nevada corporation. Among the assets acquired in these transactions were rights in real estate located in California and Arizona. In connection with these transactions all previously granted options were extinguished unless exercised immediately and all previously issued convertible notes were converted to Common Stock and all stock held in Trusts was issued based on acceleration clauses. On completion of the transactions, the required conversions and accelerations, and based upon the amount of options actually exercised, the number of issued and outstanding shares rose from 24,403,050 to approximately 98,000,000. However, over 66,000,000 of the issued shares carry restrictions and have been placed in voting trusts to be "dripped out" over a four year period. 4 In November, 2003 we purchased all the outstanding stock of Miracle Productions Inc., ("Miracle") a California corporation newly formed to receive from Miracle Entertainment, Inc. (MEMI:PK) certain of the latter's current film production and distribution projects. After the acquisition Miracle Productions changed its name to Celebration Productions, Inc. The acquisition price was 20,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and ongoing royalties from the exploitation of Miracle's film assets. Mr. Daly became Chairman, President and CEO of FAME upon completion of the acquisition of Miracle. Miracle owed us $350,000 as part of the acquisition agreement. A balance of $188,615.71 remained unpaid in May, 2004 as well as an additional $14,258.12 relating to a previous stock purchase by Miracle of FAME stock. We settled these obligations, receiving back 1,654,000 shares of FAME and a $50,000 note secured by 5,000,000 of the outstanding shares of FAME which had been issued to Miracle as part of the acquisition. On May 4, 2004 we announced that we had concluded a $5 million private placement of our Common Stock to Lesteron Limited, a private investment firm located in the British Virgin Islands. Under the terms of the agreement Lesteron received 50,000,000 shares of our restricted Common Stock and nominated two members to the Board of Directors, the brothers Ilya and Arkady Golubovich. Business of the Company. We intend to become a leading ----------------------- independent film and television production and distribution company. We believe that we are in a fast growing part of the business (see below) with the capability to develop a steady stream of good quality product and an opportunity to achieve some major success. We believe that we can increase the value of the Company's products for our shareholders and filmmaking partners by producing and distributing quality, cost effective films and associated entertainment at a reduced cost. We also intend to develop a film library for ongoing residual revenue. We plan to list our outstanding securities on NASDAQ or the AMEX in 2005. Organization. We have organized ourselves into three wholly- ------------ owned operating subsidiaries and three wholly-owned special purpose entities, as follows: COMPANY JURISDICTION FUNCTION ------- ------------ -------- Celebration Productions, Inc. CA Film production Celebration Pictures, Inc. CA U.S. film distribution Celebration International Pictures, Ltd. BVI Overseas film distribution Myrob Properties, Inc. CA Holds interests in real estate East Mojave Corporation NV Holds interests in real estate Harder They Fall International, Ltd. BVI Holds rights to film New Developments in the Entertainment Industry Favor Our Business. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The entertainment industry is experiencing major market expansion along with major structural and technological change. Global revenues from traditional and new media are on the increase. Traditional sources of revenue from cinema and network television are now joined by a huge expansion in ancillary sales from cable, video, DVD, pay per view, video games, publishing and merchandising. Foreign revenues from the 70+ major markets for a US produced film are often greater than US domestic revenues. The industry is still dominated by the majors, Warner, Universal, Paramount, Columbia/Sony, Fox/News Corp and MGM. These large companies cannot turn out enough profitable product to satisfy world demand. 5 According to the Motion Picture Association of America) ("MPAA") 473 films were released theatrically in the US in 2003, with a total box office gross of $9.49 billion. This was down 3% from 2002, which in turn was up 13.2% from 2001. MPAA data says that the average cost of a feature film by a major studio is now $52 million. The generally accepted cost of a US theatrical release exceeds $30 million. By contrast the average cost of an independent film is $1.5 million to $4 million. Because of the lower production and distribution costs of an independent film, revenue from ancillary markets make it possible to recover these costs on a consistent and rapid basis. When the films are greatly successful, such as "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with its $228 million US box office gross, the profit potential can be massive. The number of screens in the USA have increased from 17,000 (1980) to 35,000 (2002). With the World Wide recognition of the direct and indirect benefits of film production more and more financial incentives are being offered by Cities, States and Governments to encourage film investment. While the general commercial trend has been to downsize a company's overhead and rely on subcontractors to provide key services, the majors still have large departments and overheads frequently causing their costs of distribution to match their production costs. Foreign distribution, exhibition and ancillary sales are still controlled in large part by local companies who are in need of product. Film production technology such as HD cameras is making the film making process and effects integration cheaper, while younger filmmakers are producing full feature films with quality actors for a fraction of the costs incurred by the majors. Finally it is the quality of the story, the actors, and the director linked to the entrepreneurial and production skills of the producer that make a good product. Our Financing Strategy. The Company intends to use outside ---------------------- financing wherever possible. Our management recognizes that this ability will allow the Company to attract higher quality independent projects. Our Tactics can be summarized as follows: ----------- * Hire high quality management and staff * Provide incentive rewards based on success. * Keep overhead low by subcontracting to others work that does not involve creative supervision or financial control. * Seek higher quality, scripts that have high dramatic impact and are ready for production. * Scripts have or will attract strong directors, good cast and can be produced for a reasonable budget. * Keep production costs low by having talent share in both the risk and the profits. * Keep theatrical distribution costs under control by limited test releases before rolling out across America. * Maximize and control income and accountability by operating a foreign sales organization. * Encourage filmmakers to work with the Company by setting firm pre-production and financial guidelines and giving them creative freedom to make their project within the guidelines. * Create a reputation for fair bookkeeping and reporting. * Build up an active library to generate ongoing recurring income. * Seek to expand the real estate portfolio in properties where appreciation is most likely and/or where above average returns are possible. * Invest excess funds in targeted entertainment related businesses which show promise for growth and cash flow to the Company. Real Estate Investment. Our real estate portfolio is mainly land ---------------------- that is situated in areas subject to development and which we believe will appreciate significantly over the coming years. See below under "Description of Properties." 6 Script Development and Purchase. We primarily seek projects that ------------------------------- are already developed and ready to be produced. However, we also enter into the development business. Scripts are submitted to the Company on a daily basis via directors, producers, actors, agents and managers. In general a production is at the highest point of risk in this stage of script development and preproduction finance. During the development phase scripts are completed and, subject to financial commitments for the cost of the film, producers and directors are attached, the principal cast is chosen and committed, locations chosen and initial production designs and outline budgets completed. We believe that our experienced management can identify and enter into this development phase only for projects where there is a greater than 50% likelihood of success (i.e. the film is likely to be made and talent is attached or has expressed strong interest) and where commitments for any significant development cost are likely to be obtained from outside sources. As development financier, our commitment usually allows us to be repaid our initial development costs on the first day of principal photography and gives us an ongoing share of the producer's net profits. Our Chairman Mr. John Daly is the prime decision maker as to which projects are chosen and in working with the writers and directors on the script. Mr. Daly, along with our in-house staff of industry professionals , are responsible for overseeing the development phase and bringing the films to production. See below under "Management." Projects in development include: ------------------------------- "Calico Jack" A modern "pirate" family action comedy intended to appeal to the same audiences as "Pirates of the Caribbean." Anticipated budget $10 million. In pre-development. Production planned for late 2005 - 2006. The Company anticipates being co-producer and distributor. Film Production. We commit to producing films that can be, or are --------------- fully financed. Key to the decision making process is the quality of the script, director, the value of the cast, the actual production cost, the management skills of the producing team and the film's ability to make a meaningful profit to the Company. We also factor in the ability to structure the film to qualify for "soft" tax and incentive investment. Before a film is "greenlighted" the production plans are meticulously reviewed, contingencies prepared and detailed cost controls put in place. We believe it is the director's right in the first instance to realize his/her vision. However, our management reviews the dailies and is available for guidance if required. Our senior and experienced management and key consultants have "hands on" producing experience in over 100 films. Films completed/in production/or being prepared for production "Petersburg - Cannes Express" Completed Spring, 2003. Budget $4 million. Released November, 2003. The Company co-distributes and owns certain distribution rights. "Tournament of Dreams" Principal photography completed November, 2003. Now in post production. Budget $1.7 million. The Company co-distributes and owns certain world-wide rights. 7 "The Aryan Couple" Principal photography completed June, 2004. Limited Academy consideration release occurred in December, 2004 with further release continuing in 2005. Budget $6 million. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Celebration International Pictures, Ltd, is Producer and Distributor. "The Harder They Fall" Sports action/drama/romance set against the background of US football and European rugby, slated for principal photography to commence in 2005. Release planned, Spring, 2006. Budget $12-15 million (Company is currently Pre-Production Supervisor and Co-Distributor). "Waking Up Dead" Documentary of a rock and roll drummer and the human toll of sex drugs and rock & Roll. Completed January 2005. Subsidiary, Celebration Pictures, Inc. has world wide distribution rights. Film Distribution. We have our own distribution system, which ----------------- can make copies of the master negative ("prints"), book theaters, place advertising, create publicity and collect revenues. We will use our system to distribute films which we believe will succeed in US markets through a technique called "platforming". We make a limited release in selected theaters within several target markets. As positive reviews, word of mouth, and theater results build, we add additional markets as warranted. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" achieved its $285,000,000 US theatrical gross this way over the course of a year. "Lost in Translation" did this recently, approaching $30,000,000 in box office receipts while never playing in more than 300 theaters at a time. If the Company believes a film can be a mega-hit we may have the ability to team up with a major studio. The studio would then provide the costs of prints and advertising which can be $30 million or more on a nationwide release. However, if we have concluded that a completed film will not succeed theatrically we may release the film directly to the ancillary market (i.e. video-DVD markets, foreign markets, television and/or cable). We may also arrange for the film to be sold territorially to may film markets outside the U.S. On average, exhibitors (movie theaters) retain approximately 50% to 55% of the box office (i.e. 50%-55% of each ticket sold), with the balance going to the distributor ("Distributor's Gross"). Although distribution agreements can vary greatly, the most common formula for distribution is the "net proceeds arrangement", the distributor retains a Distributor Fee (see below), generally 12-30% of Distributor's Gross from film rentals (these are usually 45-50% of box-office gross). The distributor recoups the costs incurred in distributing the film from the remaining 70 - 88% percent of Distributor's Gross. The remainder, known as the "net proceeds," is then typically allocated to the producer, ("Producer's Gross") from which he must repay the cost of production, pay any amounts due to creative talent, and any third parties providing the production financing, with the balance representing profits. Distributor Fees are a function of negotiated license rates: below are typical rates: Market Rate ------ ---- Domestic Theatrical 20% Domestic Video 15% Pay Cable 20% Television - Syndication 20% Video Sell-Through 15% Foreign Theatrical 20% 8 Industry executives recognize the life cycle of a movie and seek to generate revenues and profits at each stage. The first tier of film distribution normally commences with domestic theatrical release. The distributor will release a film into a particular market based on the depth of the perceived commercial appeal. Films with measurable broad or niche audience appeal will start at the top of the distribution hierarchy with theatrical release and are then followed by distribution to foreign theatrical and to the other non-theatrical and various home television markets. The initial theatrical distribution lasts for up to four months, sometimes six, depending on the popularity of the film. Films are sometimes released in the major foreign markets at about the same time as the U.S. domestic release, but usually a time of six months should be anticipated. Home video release, both domestic and foreign, is timed to start after the theatrical run is essentially over in each territory, typically two to six months after initial release. A film becomes available for premium cable, pay-per-view, or satellite television usually six months after home video release in each territory. This is generally eight months to one year from the initial release. A film is usually available for broadcast television approximately two years after home video release in each territory. Towards the end of a movie's theatrical release the film is usually made available for purchase to airlines and hotel pay-per-view can usually purchase the film. Ancillary rights, such as music, literary or merchandising, are usually exploited during the initial theatrical run of the film. A similar release schedule occurs for U.S. films in foreign markets. The time frame in the sequential release of a film is often compressed as the industry moves to accelerate the cash flows associated with each tier. In any case, most revenues are received within the first 18 months of a film's release with the vast majority of income received within the first five years of release. Prints and Advertising ("P&A"). The "Prints" element of P&A is ------------------------------ the cost of prints, i.e. the making and shipping of the duplicates of the master negative to be shown in theatres. "Advertising" is the cost of advertising of the film in all forms of media, trailers, the marketing and the public relations campaign designed to increase the audience for the film. P&A is the last expenditure related to a release of a film, usually commencing 2-4 weeks prior to the theatrical release and continuing through the exhibition run. P&A expense is also normally recouped directly out of gross receipts prior to any reimbursement to the providers of funds for development and production of the film ("Negative Costs") and residuals and/or profit participations. According to MPAA total P&A costs for 2003 were $39 billion. In 2003 the major studios averaged $63.8 million in production costs per release and $39.05 million for P&A. The Company estimates spending $1.5 million for a "platform" release of a picture on 50-150 screens in 2-3 major markets. P&A expenditures for a general release can be quite large, with typical costs for a release on 1500 screens running $10-15 million and for 2000- 2500 screens running $20-25 million. Film Sales. We have our own sales organizations: Celebration ---------- Pictures, Inc., which handles the domestic release and Celebration International Pictures, Ltd., which handles the international release. Other than in the US theatrical market, we will usually sell distribution rights to our films to distributors in specific territories for a set number of years. There are over 70 major foreign territories in which we look to sell our films. Usually the foreign distributor will acquire the ancillary rights along with the theatrical rights, paying an advance which is recoupable from earnings. Unlike the situation 9 in the 1970's and 80's, the norm today is to sell these rights after the film is made rather than selling the rights at a discount prior to production. Foreign territories represent an increasingly important source of revenue for film entertainment produced in the U.S. English language productions continue to dominate the world market, both theatrically, due to the rapid construction of new screens in emerging markets, and in home video markets, due in some part to new copyright treaties. Ancillary Sales. Entertainment industry professionals focus on --------------- the success of a film at the box office to gauge audience response to a film. It is now an established industry tenet that the success of a theatrical release impacts the income derived from ancillary markets. The following are the principal ancillary markets for film entertainment. * Home Video/DVD Rental * Home Video/DVD "sell-through" * Pay-per-view, airlines, military, hotel * Subscription Television (Cable and Satellite) * Network Broadcast Television and Syndication * Soundtrack * Merchandising/Publishing * Internet/e-Commerce Consumers are now spending more annually viewing films on videocassettes and DVDs than they are spending in theaters. According to a joint study by Nielson Research, Adams Media Research, Consumer Electronics Agency, DVD Entertainment Group and Ernst & Young estimated consumer spending on renting and buying DVDs alone in 2003 was approximately $11.6 billion vs. $9.36 billion spent at the box office. The video retail sales increase reflects the growth in VCRs to 90.8% of U.S households compared to 70.2% in 1990. DVD penetration in U.S. households increased to 46.2 million in 2003, up 203.% from the previous year. Sales of home entertainment systems by U.S. dealers have increased the sale and rental of DVDs to over 1 billion units in 2003, up from 729.9 million the previous year, a more than 50% increase, vs. a 39% decline in cassette sales-rentals Each exhibition window competes for the highest quality film product with the greatest audience appeal to sustain and grow their revenue bases. In this increasingly challenging and competitive environment, broadcasters and distributors have given further emphasis to specialization, meeting the programming needs of niche audiences. These ancillary markets afford the producer of film product and owners of film libraries an opportunity to earn revenue from several sources as the film progresses through its life cycle. With the introduction of new technologies as well as the convergence of broadcast media and computing technologies, new sources of ancillary income are expected to develop rapidly in the near term. Product Placement. Product placement has become an increasingly ----------------- important aspect of film production over the last few years. Although it is possible to sometimes offset some of the costs of production by selling the rights for a manufacturer to have its product featured in the film, the highest and best use of product placement is in its use for cooperative advertising and joint production (i.e. the "happy meal" toys at McDonalds featuring movie characters). Merchandising. Selling products online and offline related to our ------------- films, in addition to soundtracks, home videos and DVDs, will be a major thrust for the Company. We will attempt to exploit all merchandising opportunities, especially items that have particular appeal to the family market. Where ever possible merchandising elements will be written into every script (i.e. cars, clothing, toys, video games, novelty items, hair products and accessories, etc.). Internet. Some independent filmmakers are attempting to turn the -------- Internet into the world's largest art-house theater by offering movies on a pay-per-view basis over the Internet. MPAA reports 10 that the number of households with Internet access is now 62.2 million compared to 55.4 million in 2002. The number of households with broadband access has increased to 21.7 million in 2003 from 15.9 million in 2002. Mobile Internet users increased to 2.4 million from 1.5 million in 2002. According to Paul Kagan Associates, Internet movie pay-per-view revenues are expected to grow from $300,000 in 1999 to $243 million in 2008..Driving this growth will be increased broadband delivery and the number of global streaming-media-player equipped Internet users. Due to the relatively cumbersome delivery and image quality problems associated with data compression the medium has yet to achieve its full potential. As these problems are resolved, utilization should accelerate. We intend to place the Company in areas of future growth for the entertainment industry by identifying and establishing relationships with strategic partners who are providers of Internet and other innovative entertainment solutions. Technology Development. The Company owns certain video streaming ---------------------- technology developed before 2001. The Company will attempt to apply this technology to derive value from it in the context of the Company's new emphasis on film and other media productions We have developed and own all the rights to F.E.L.I.X., a high quality video streaming system that requires no download and no buffer. F.E.L.I.X. enables a server to send, and enables a client to retrieve, real-time video and audio over the Internet. It uses a highly efficient algorithm to significantly improve low- bandwidth video transmission. We have licensed our F.E.L.I.X. streaming video technologies to Western Media Group Corporation for its use for all US Medical related usages. We have also developed the Afterburner Web Server, a high capacity; high efficiency server owned by us which boasts maximum performance and reliability. Afterburner can economically increase web hosting capacity, web access speed, reduce bandwidth requirements, and prevent server crashes during peak demand. Risk Factors. ------------ Competition in the Film Industry. The business in which -------------------------------- we engage is significantly competitive. Each of our primary business operations is subject to competition from companies which, in some instances, have greater production, distribution and capital resources than us. We compete for relationships with a limited supply of facilities and talented creative personnel to produce our films. We will compete with major motion picture studios, such as Warner Brothers and The Walt Disney Company, for the services of writers, actors and other creative personnel and specialized production facilities. We also anticipate that we will compete with a large number of United States-based and international distributors of independent films, including divisions of The Walt Disney Company, Warner Brothers, Fox and Sony in the production of films expected to appeal to international audiences. More generally, we anticipate we will compete with various other leisure-time activities, such as home videos, movie theaters, personal computers and other alternative sources of entertainment. The production and distribution of theatrical productions, television animation, videocassettes and video disks are significantly competitive businesses, as they compete with each other, in addition to other forms of entertainment and leisure activities, including video games and on-line services, such as the Internet. There is also active competition among all production companies in these industries for services of producers, directors, actors and others and for the acquisition of literary properties. The increased number of theatrical films released in the United States has resulted in increased competition for theater space and audience attention. Revenues for film entertainment products depend in part on general economic conditions, but the competitive situation of a producer of films is still greatly affected by the quality of, and public response to, the entertainment product that the producer makes available to the marketplace. There is strong competition throughout the home video industry, both from home video subsidiaries of several major motion picture studios and from independent companies, as well as from new film viewing opportunities such as pay-per-view. 11 We also anticipate competing with several major film studios such as Paramount Communications, MCA/Universal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox; Time Warner; and MGM/UA Inc., which are dominant in the motion picture industry, in addition to numerous independent motion picture and television production companies, television networks and pay television systems, for the acquisition of literary properties, the services of performing artists, directors, producers, other creative and technical personnel, and production financing. We believe that a production's theatrical success is dependent upon general public acceptance, marketing, advertising and the quality of the production. Our productions compete with numerous independent and foreign productions, in addition to productions produced and distributed by a number of major domestic companies, many of which are divisions of conglomerate corporations with assets and resources substantially greater than that of ours. Our management believes that in recent years there has been an increase in competition in virtually all facets of our business. The growth of pay-per-view television and the use of home video products may have an effect upon theater attendance and non-theatrical motion picture distribution. As we may distribute productions to all of these markets, it is not possible to determine how our business will be affected by the developments, and accordingly, the resultant impact on our financial statements. In the distribution of motion pictures, there is very active competition to obtain bookings of pictures in theaters and television networks and stations throughout the world. A number of major motion picture companies have acquired motion picture theaters. Such acquisitions may have an adverse effect on our distribution endeavors and our ability to book certain theaters which, due to their prestige, size and quality of facilities, are deemed to be especially desirable for motion picture bookings. In addition, our ability to compete in certain foreign territories with either film or television product is affected by local restrictions and quotas. In certain countries, local governments require that a minimum percentage of locally produced productions be broadcast, thereby further reducing available time for exhibition of our productions. There can be no assurance that additional or more restrictive theatrical or television quotas will not be enacted or that countries with existing quotas will not more strictly enforce such quotas. Additional or more restrictive quotas or stringent enforcement of existing quotas could materially and adversely affect our business by limiting our ability to fully exploit our productions internationally. Financing Uncertainties. To achieve and maintain competitiveness, ----------------------- we may be required to raise substantial funds. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. We anticipate that we may need to raise additional capital to develop, promote and distribute our films. Such additional capital may be raised through public or private financing as well as borrowings and other sources. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available under favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain products and services that we would not otherwise relinquish. Internet Competition. The Internet market is new, rapidly -------------------- evolving and intensely competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in maintaining an Internet business are selection, convenience of download and other features, price, speed and accessibility, customer service, quality of image and site content, and reliability and speed of fulfillment. Many potential competitors have longer operating histories, more customers, greater brand recognition, and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources. In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in, or form joint ventures as the Internet, and e-commerce in general, become more widely accepted. Although we believe that the diverse segments of the Internet market will provide opportunities for more than one supplier of productions similar to ours, it is possible that a single supplier may dominate one or more market segments. We also have significant competition from online websites in international markets, including competition from US-based competitors in addition to online companies that are already well established in those foreign markets. Many of our existing competitors, in addition to a number of potential new competitors, have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. 12 Technological Changes. We believe that our future success will --------------------- be substantially affected by continued growth in the use of the Internet. E-commerce and the distribution of goods and services over the Internet is relatively new, and predicting the extent of further growth, if any, is difficult. There can be no assurance that communication or commerce over the Internet will increase or that extensive content will continue to be provided over the Internet. The Internet may not prove to be a viable commercial marketplace for a number of reasons, including lack of acceptable security technologies, potentially inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure, such as a reliable network system, or timely development and commercialization of performance improvements, including high speed modems. In addition, to the extent that the Internet continues to experience significant growth in the number of users and use, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed upon it by such potential growth. The performance and reliability of the Internet may be adversely affected by this continued growth. The market for Internet products and services is characterized by rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards and customer demands and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. For example, to the extent that higher bandwidth Internet access becomes more widely available using cable modems or other technologies, we may be required to make significant changes to the design and content of our productions in order to compete effectively. Our failure to adapt to these or any other technological developments effectively could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. Compliance with Government Regulation of the Film Industry. The ----------------------------------------------------------- following does not purport to be a summary of all present and proposed federal, state and local regulations and legislation relating to the production and distribution of film entertainment and related products; rather, the following attempts to identify those aspects that could affect our business. Also, other existing legislation and regulations, copyright licensing, and, in many jurisdictions, state and local franchise requirements, are currently the subject of a variety of judicial proceedings, legislative hearings and administrative and legislative proposals which could affect, in various manners, the methods in which the industries involved in film entertainment operate. Audiovisual works such as motion pictures and television programs are not included in the terms of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. As a result, many countries, including members of the European Union, are able to enforce quotas that restrict the number of United States produced feature films which may be distributed in such countries. Although the quotas generally apply only to television programming and not to theatrical exhibitions of motion pictures, there can be no assurance that additional or more restrictive theatrical or television quotas will not be enacted or that existing quotas will not be more strictly enforced. Additional or more restrictive quotas or more stringent enforcement of existing quotas could materially or adversely limit our ability to exploit our productions completely. Voluntary industry embargos or United States government trade sanctions to combat piracy, if enacted, could impact the amount of revenue that we realize from the international exploitation of our productions. The Motion Picture Industry, including us, may continue to lose an indeterminate amount of revenue as a result of motion picture piracy. The Code and Ratings Administration of the Motion Picture Association of America assigns ratings indicating age group suitably for the theatrical distribution for motion pictures. United States television stations and networks, in addition to foreign governments, impose additional restrictions on the content of motion pictures which may restrict, in whole or in part, theatrical or television exhibitions in particular territories. Congress and the Federal Trade Commission are considering, and in the future may adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters that may affect, directly or indirectly, the operation, ownership and profitably of our business. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. -------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations. We have received minimum revenue from --------------------- operations to date. We believe that the main sources of our revenue will be revenues from domestic and foreign theatrical distribution, DVD and home video, pay-per-view, pay cable and basic cable distribution and free broadcast television. 13 Our assets are reasonably liquid with a substantial majority consisting of cash and cash equivalents, and investment securities. Both our total assets as well as the individual components as a percentage of total assets may vary significantly from period to period because of changes relating to production and distribution schedules, sales revenues, customer demand, seasonal, economic and market conditions. Our total net assets at September 30, 2004 were $5,754,971 compared to $976,664 at December 31, 2003. To date we have financed our operations through the private placement of equity securities. On May 4, 2004 we completed a private placement of 50,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for a total consideration of $5,000,000. We have not employed any significant leverage or debt. We believe that our capital structure is adequate for our current operations. We continually review our overall capital and funding needs to ensure that our capital base can support the estimated needs of the business. These reviews take into account current business needs as well as the Company's future capital requirements. Based upon these reviews, to take advantage of strong market conditions and to fully implement our expansion strategy, we believe that we will continue to increase our net capital by the proceeds of private sales of our securities. For more information on the cash flows of the Company, please see the statement of cash flows included in the Company's financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. Item 3. Description of Property. ----------------------- The Company's Facilities.

The Commission has adopted rules ---------------------- that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks are generally 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, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which (i) contained a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (ii) contained a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (iii) contained a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price; (iv) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (v) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (vi) contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer 19 also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the customer (i) with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (ii) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (iii) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (iv) month account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker- dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If any of the Company's securities become subject to the penny stock rules, holders of those securities may have difficulty selling those securities. Item 2. Legal Proceedings. ----------------- The Company is not aware of any pending litigation nor does it have any reason to believe that any such litigation exists, except as follows: Miracle Entertainment, Inc. et. al v. Filmstar Releasing -------------------------------------------------------- Corporation et. al., Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. ------------------- BC302233. This is a complaint for unlawful conversion, breach of contract and fraud, commenced in September, 2003 by Miracle Entertainment, Inc., a company of which John Daly was Chairman, against a firm and several individuals who had previously contracted to raise funds for productions sponsored by Miracle Entertainment. A counter-claim was filed by the defendants in March, 2004, adding the Company as a defendant. It alleged that the funds had been raised and provided to the plaintiffs and counterclaim defendants, who had unlawfully diverted them to their own use and failed to produce the promised films. Both the complaint and the counter-claim demand approximately $8 million in damages. The Company never had a contractual relationship with any of the cross-complainants and asserts that no facts exist to support any cause of action asserted by cross-complainants. The Company moved to dismiss the cross-complaint and moved to strike all references to punitive damages. The dismissal was granted by the Court with leave to amend. The Court also sustained the dismissal without leave to amend as to the civil conspiracy cause of action. On or about November 1, 2004, Filmstar, Denise Gentile and Jon Gentile filed a second amended cross-complaint alleging the same causes of action as before. Again the Company moved to dismiss and filed a motion to strike punitive damages claims. The hearing is set for January 3, 2005. The parties are now engaged in pre-trial discovery. The Court sent the case to mediation to be completed by March 2005. The post-mediation conference is set for March 3, 2005. The final status conference is set for May 13, 2005; trial-May 23, 2005. Carol Lefko v. Film and Music Entertainment, Inc., Celebration ------------------------------------------------------------- Pictures,Inc., John Daly and Peter Beale, Los Angeles Superior ---------------------------------------- Court, Case No. BC318753. This is a complaint for breach of an alleged oral agreement commenced July 20, 2004 between the plaintiff and the defendants whereby the plaintiff would provide services as casting director of a film to be called "Host" and produced by Celebration Productions, Inc. which was added as a party to this lawsuit by amendment in February 2005. The plaintiff alleges that she performed the services but was not paid and is owed $12,000 for breach of contract plus $60,000 for "waiting time." The defendants have answered denying any liability, that no contract existed and that no services could have been rendered to the Company since the film never went into pre-production. The Company is informed and believes that Kevin Lewis and Peter Beale, in their individual capacity, were to be co-producers of the film "Host." Mr. Lewis was also to be the director of the film and that any agreement with plaintiff is between plaintiff and Mr. Lewis. The Company maintains that no contract exists between 20 Ms. Lefko and either FAME or Celebration or both. The Company maintains that Ms. Lefko has never been employed by any of these entities, as indicated by Company records and that neither the Company nor Celebration Pictures, Inc. ever hired any casting director. All the Defendants except Beale filed their general denial with affirmative defenses on September 1, 2004. Film And Music responded to plaintiff's first set of written discovery. The Court ordered the case into mediation to be completed by February 28, 2005. The post-mediation date is March 4, 2005. The final status conference is set for July 5, 2005; trial - July 13, 2005.

In 2003 the Company issued an aggregate of 74,927,348 shares of Common Stock at an aggregate price of $.01 per share. The transactions underlying the issuance of these shares are described in more detail elsewhere.

The shares are unable to be resold or transferred unless registered with the SEC for sale or qualifying for an exemption from registration. The shares were issued to Lesteron, Ltd., a BVI corporation for $ 5,000,000 cash. Certificates for the shares bear a restrictive legend prohibiting transfer without an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 is not required. In addition, in 2004 the Company issued an aggregate of 5,033,000 restricted shares in the exercise of options and 90,000 shares for services rendered at a price of $.01 per share. 21 Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. ----------------------------------------- Limitation on Liability of Officers and Directors of the Company. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada General Corporation Law permits the Company to eliminate or limit the personal liability of the officers and directors of the Company to the Company and its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. Article VII of the By-Laws of the Company includes a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of the officers and directors of the Company to the Company and its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. Accordingly, the officers and directors of the Company may have no liability to the shareholders of the Company for any mistakes or errors of judgment or for any act of omission, unless such act or omission involves intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law or results in unlawful distributions to the shareholders of the Company. The Company anticipates that it will enter into indemnification agreements as part of its employment contracts similar to those contained in its existing agreements with Messrs. Daly and Lotman. DISCLOSURE OF POSITION OF COMMISSION REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES: INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, 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 OF 1933 AND IS, THEREFORE, UNENFORCEABLE.

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 audits.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F-6 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Line of Business --------------------------------- Film and Music Entertainment, Inc. ("FAME" or the "Company") is a Nevada Corporation. The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on January 3, 1996 as Imporex Investment Corp. and focused on developing streaming video technology until 2000 when it shut down significant operations and became effectively inactive. In 2003, John Daly joined the Board of Directors and became the Company's President. Under his direction the Company re-focused on entertainment and changed its name to Film and Music Entertainment, Inc. The Company has just developed its first feature film and intends to become a leading independent film and television production and distribution company. Consolidated Financial Statements --------------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Celebration Productions, Inc., Celebration Pictures, Inc., Celebration International Pictures, Ltd., Myrob Properties, Inc., East Mojave Corporation and Harder They Fall International, Ltd. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Interim Financial Statements ---------------------------- The unaudited consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company's consolidated financial position, the consolidated results of their operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10- QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. Stock Based Compensation ------------------------ SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. The statement also permits companies to elect to continue using the current intrinsic value accounting method specified in F-7 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to account for stock-based compensation. The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value based method and has disclosed the pro forma effect of using the fair value based method to account for its stock-based compensation issued to employees. For options granted to employees where the exercise price is less than the fair value of the stock at the date of grant, the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with APB 25. For non-employee stock based compensation the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value for the stock on the date of grant and if the stock has restrictions as to transferability a discount is provided for lack of tradability. Stock option awards are valued using the Black- Scholes option-pricing model. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would be reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited): Year Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended September 30, ---------------------------- ------------------------------- 2003 2002 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------- (unaudited) (unaudited) Net loss: As reported $(12,626,935) $ (23,128) $ (517,061) $ (129,554) Compensation recognized under APB 25 10,475,130 - - 14,300 Compensation recognized under SFAS 123 (11,039,994) - - (28,600) ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------- Pro forma $(13,191,799) $ (23,128) $ (517,061) $ (143,854) ============ ============ ============= ============== Basic and diluted loss per common share: As reported $ (0.22) $ (0.00) $ (0.00) $ (0.00) Pro forma $ (0.23) $ (0.00) $ (0.00) $ (0.00) F-8 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) This option valuation model requires input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2003: risk-free interest rate of 3.5 %; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 468%; and a weighted average expected life of the option of 4 years. In 2003, the Company recognized an expense of $1,872,999 related to options issued to non- employees. 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. As of December 31, 2003, the Company used estimates in determining the realization of its other receivable and valuation of real estate and other investments. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Risks and Uncertainties ----------------------- The business in which the Company engages is significantly competitive. Each of the Company's primary business operations is subject to competition from companies which, in some instances, have greater production, distribution and capital resources. The Company competes for relationships with a limited supply of facilities and talented creative personnel to produce its films. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------- For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, plus all certificates of deposit maturing within one year. F-9 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) Restricted Cash --------------- Restricted cash represents an amount on deposit with a financial institution that secures the Company's employee credit cards. Restricted through July 2005. Concentration of Credit Risk ---------------------------- Financial instruments, which potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions which deposits exceed the FDIC $100,000 insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had balance with one bank amounting $4,116,000. Property and Equipment ---------------------- Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: Computers 3 years Automobile 5 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. Real Estate Investments ----------------------- Real estate investments are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Investment in SMS Musicmaker Ltd. -------------------------------- The Company is a 50% owner of SMS Musicmaker Ltd, a newly formed United Kingdom company. The Company accounts for this investment on the equity method. As of September 30, 2004, SMS had not commenced operations. F-10 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) Revenue Recognition ------------------- Revenues from the theatrical distribution of motion pictures are recognized when motion pictures are exhibited. Revenues from video sales are recognized on the date that video units are made widely available for sale by retailers. Revenues from the licensing of feature films and television programming are recorded when the material is available for telecast by the licensee and when any restrictions regarding the exhibition or exploitation of the product lapse. Film Costs ---------- Film costs related to theatrical and television product (which includes direct production costs, production overhead and acquisition costs) are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value and classified as non-current assets. Film costs are amortized, and the estimated liabilities for residuals and participations are accrued, for an individual product based on the proportion that current period actual revenues bear to the estimated remaining total lifetime revenues. These estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets ------------------------------- SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including those of discontinued operations, be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 also establishes a "primary-asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Income Taxes ------------ The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. F-11 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) Profit Participation Obligations -------------------------------- The Company has received funds from investors to finance specific productions. Generally, the terms of the profit participation obligations provide the investor with a return of their investment plus a percentage of the profits on the specific production financed by the investor. If the production does not generate a profit, the Company is under no obligation to repay the investor. Earnings (Loss) Per Share ------------------------- The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of options and warrants to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. At December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004 there were 86,432,000 and 83,919,500 (unaudited) options outstanding that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti- dilutive. Comprehensive Income -------------------- SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company does not have items that represented other comprehensive income and, accordingly, has not included in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity the change in comprehensive income. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ----------------------------------------- In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, entitled Inventory Costs -- An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, entitled Inventory Pricing [June 1953], to clarify the accounting for "abnormal amounts" of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material [spoilage]. Before revision by SFAS No. 151, the guidance that existed in ARB No. 43 stipulated that these type items may be "so abnormal" that the appropriate accounting treatment would be to expense these costs as incurred [i.e., these costs would be current-period charges]. SFAS No. 151 requires that these type items be recognized as current-period charges F-12 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) without regard to whether the "so abnormal" criterion has been met. Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not impact the consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, entitled Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions -- An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67. SFAS No. 152 amends SFAS No. 66 to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position 04-2. SFAS No. 152 also amends SFAS No. 67 to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time- sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance of SOP 04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 152 did not impact the consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, entitled Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets -- An Amendment of APB Opinion No.29. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not impact the consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised), entitled Share-Based Payment. This revised Statement eliminates the alternative to use APB Opinion No. 25's intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued. Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. This Statement requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. For public companies that file as a small business issuer, this Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123 (Revised) will have an impact the consolidated financial statements. If the Statement had been in effect for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company would have recognized an additional expense of $564,864. Note 2 - Acquisition In October, 2003 the Company purchased all the outstanding stock of Miracle Productions Inc. ("Miracle"), a California corporation newly formed to receive from Miracle Entertainment, Inc. (MEMI:PK) ("MEI") certain of MEI's current film production and distribution projects. After the acquisition Miracle changed its name to Celebration Productions, Inc. The acquisition price was 18,347,175 shares, as amended, of the Company's common stock and ongoing royalties from the exploitation of Miracle's film assets. The total purchase price was $2,752,076 which equals the 18,347,175 shares of the Company's common stock times the market value on the date of acquisition of $0.15 per share. As part of the acquisition agreement, MEI agreed to pay the Company, $217,963, as amended. MEI's historical F-13 Film and Music Entertainment and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 And the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited) cost basis in the film production and distribution projects acquired by the Company through Miracle was $0. The allocation of the purchase price was based on historical cost basis rather than fair market value since Mr. John Daly, who is the Company's Chairman, President and CEO was at the time also the President of MEI.

A counter-claim was filed by the defendants in March, 2004, adding the Company as a defendant.

Both the complaint and the counter-claim demand approximately $8 million in damages. The Company never had a contractual relationship with any of the cross-complainants and asserts that no facts exist to support any cause of action asserted by cross-complainants. The Company moved to dismiss the cross-complaint and moved to strike all references to punitive damages. The dismissal was granted by the Court with leave to amend. The Court also sustained the dismissal without leave to amend as to the civil conspiracy cause of action. On or about November 1, 2004, Filmstar, Denise Gentile and Jon Gentile filed a second amended cross-complaint alleging the same causes of action as before.
