Risk Factors Dashboard
Once a year, publicly traded companies issue a comprehensive report of their business, called a 10-K. A component mandated in the 10-K is the ‘Risk Factors’ section, where companies disclose any major potential risks that they may face. This dashboard highlights all major changes and additions in new 10K reports, allowing investors to quickly identify new potential risks and opportunities.

Risks Related to Our Business
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future business prospects and to make decisions based on our historical performance.
We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business on the basis of historical operations. As a consequence, it is difficult to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Reliance on our historical results may not be representative of the results we will achieve. Because of the uncertainties related to our lack of historical operations, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, product costs or expenses. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, we could be less profitable or incur losses, which may result in a decline in our stock price.
Economic conditions and uncertain economic outlook could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition
The global economy is still undergoing a period of unprecedented volatility. We cannot predict when economic conditions will improve or stabilize. A prolonged period of economic volatility or decline could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and/or exacerbate the other risks related to its business.
Our results of operations depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion pictures and television programming that we distribute, and underperformance at the box office or in television licensing of one or more motion pictures in any period can cause our results to be less than anticipated
Our results of operations will depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion pictures and television programming that we produce for distribution as well as content which we distribute, which cannot be predicted with certainty. In particular, the underperformance at the box office or on television, VOD or streaming etc. of one or more motion pictures in any period may cause our revenue and earnings results for that period (and potentially, subsequent periods) to be less than anticipated, in some instances to a significant extent. Due to the difficulty of predicting our results of operations and the other factors, it is difficult for industry or financial analysts to accurately forecast our results. The trading market for our common shares is influenced by the research and reports that such industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. If an analyst who covers us changes his or her financial estimates or investment recommendation, or if our results of operations fall short of their estimates, the price of our common shares could decline.
Our results of operations are difficult to predict and depend on a variety of factors
Our results of operations will depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion pictures or television content that we distribute, or that which we produce for distribution which cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and the results of any one period may not be indicative of the results for any future periods. Our results of operations also may fluctuate due to the timing, mix, number and availability of our theatrical motion picture and home entertainment releases, as well as license periods for our content. Our operating results may increase or decrease during a particular period or fiscal year due to differences in the number and/or mix of films released compared to the corresponding period in the prior year or prior fiscal year. Our operating results also fluctuate due to our accounting practices (which are standard for the industry) which may cause us to recognize the production and marketing expenses in different periods than the recognition of related revenues, which may occur in later periods. For example, in accordance with GAAP and industry practice, we are required to expense film advertising costs as incurred, but are also required to recognize the revenue from any motion picture or television program over the entire revenue stream expected to be generated by the individual picture or television program.
The comparability of our results may be affected by changes in accounting guidance or changes in our ownership of certain assets and businesses. Accordingly, our results of operations from year to year may not be directly comparable to prior reporting periods.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and the results of any one period may not be indicative of the results for any future period.
Our success depends on the ability of our senior management team, as well as our ability to attract and retain key personnel.
Our success is highly dependent on the abilities of its management team. The management team must be able to effectively work together to successfully conduct our current operations, as well as implement our strategy, which includes significant domestic expansion. If we are unable to do so, our results of operations and financial condition may suffer. In addition, as part of our strategy of international expansion, there is intense competition for the services of qualified personnel. The failure to retain current key managers or key members of the development, production, or marketing staff, or to hire additional qualified personnel for new operations could be detrimental to our business.
Risks Related to Our Securities
We may raise capital in future offerings.
An offering might require the participation of institutional investors, which are more likely to demand more stringent terms for any placement. We have not determined the terms for any offering. Any future offering may be for common stock, or may be for a security with rights superior to that of the common stock. In connection with any offering, we may be required to add investor’s representatives to the Board of Directors, or may be required to commit to other conditions. If other conditions are not met, existing investors could have their rights or equity ownership substantially diluted. We cannot at this time determine the terms of any follow-on offering or whether it will ever occur.
We do not expect to pay dividends on our outstanding shares in the foreseeable future.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not have, or anticipate having, any funds for such purpose in the foreseeable future. Even if such funds become available, we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future but, instead, will use all funds from operations for the continued development of the business.
Our common stock is quoted only on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock, and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.
Because we became public by means of a “reverse merger,” we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
Additional risks may exist since we became public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. We cannot assure you that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of us in the future.
We cannot assure you that the common stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.
We would like to list our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or of any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain any such listing. We are presently on the OTC Bulletin Board and therefore, investor liquidity may be limited. We are presently on the OTC Bulletin Board thus, investor liquidity may be limited.
In the event we seek additional capital through equity or debt offerings, our existing stockholders may be diluted or we may be unable to find additional capital on terms favorable to us and our stockholders.
In the event that we need additional working capital for our projected operations, we may seek capital through debt or equity offerings which could result in the issuance of additional shares of our capital stock and/or rights to acquire additional shares of our capital stock. Those additional issuances of capital stock would result in a reduction of the percentage of ownership interest held by our existing stockholders. Also, the addition of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the market or the registration of any other securities may significantly and negatively affect the prevailing market price for our common stock. Finally, we may not be able to find additional capital on terms favorable to us through existing markets or investors due to market conditions, our historical performance, or our stock price.

There may be issuances of shares of preferred stock in the future.
Although we currently do not have preferred shares outstanding, we could at some time in the future authorize preferred shares and the board of directors could complete the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends would be declared to common stockholders, and the right to the redemption of such shares, possibly together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue preferred stock, the rights of holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including without limitation, with respect to liquidation.
Compliance with corporate governance and disclosure standards is costly.
We have spent and continue to spend a significant amount of management time and resources to comply with laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure. Because we qualify as a smaller reporting company, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to provide an attestation report. However, there is no guarantee that we will receive management assurance or an attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm that internal control over financial reporting is effective in future periods. In the event that our chief executive officer, chief financial officer or independent registered public accounting firm determines that our internal controls over financial reporting is not effective as required by Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, investor perceptions of us may be adversely affected. In addition, overhead may increase as a result of the additional costs associated with complying with the complex legal requirements associated with being a public reporting company.
Our compliance with SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time consuming, difficult and costly.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by SEC rules including Sarbanes-Oxley. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.
| Item 1B. | UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS |
This item is not applicable because we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.
