Traditionally, book publishing is a key source for primary exploitation of characters and concepts in multimedia and products but, what makes the Company different is that the Team of unique and specialised in-house personnel of this company have prepared differing individual stories covering a wide range of subject matter to which book publication contracts with major international publishers have been formalised. This unique fact alone, will tend to save the Company vast ongoing financial revenues traditionally passed on to outsiders in order to initially acquire, then produce Intellectual Property into various licensed and merchandisable forms which could continue for 50 years or more.

If unchecked, the world population is set to increase to 6.7bn people by the year 2005 and double by 2200. Contrary to the fact of two decades of population decline, the longer forecasts show that the increases will also include the USA, Europe, the Far East and Japan where the largest spending power will continue to grow within the consumer market.

Technological hardware and programming developments particularly, will impact multimedia and electronic dissemination and are likely to increase the overall market for associated software material of all types of new and unique programming products of which there is already an international shortage. More than ever, America excels in the manufacture of fantasy and its entertainment giants have become an economic sector as important as computers or cars. Their dream industry has created a US$ 4bn surplus in the balance of trade. However, with the electronic age fast overtaking conventional media, Japan and Europe now have the opportunity to seize the initiative and close the existing gap with the advent of newer delivery systems of cable, satellite, computer, telephone and television jostling to deliver products to all parts of the globe, the enormous shortage of high quality software product and programmes is becoming more and more acute.

Special key areas for growth include youth spending and determination of market origination of products. Therefore, television broadcasting and the Internet are highly important and an integral means of aiding the promotion of characters, stories, electronic software and merchandising material, power of subliminal advertising is unsurpassed. (The value of conjunctive international television broadcasting series and the Internet could equate to approx. US$200,000 per minute in non-payable advertising.)

The global terrestrial television broadcasting industry is currently undergoing a huge process of deregulation in the face of heavy competition from satellite and cable television channels. These channels are tending to pool their resources and programming such as the powerful Tribune Group in America by forming sixteen collective broadcasting consortiums under one umbrella in order to match terrestrial television in total percentage broadcasting coverage. These extra channels will also have a huge effect by dipping deeply into terrestrial advertising revenues and therefore, terrestrial broadcasters have openly admitted they will have to provide unique, more expensive and better type programming as their main strength in retaining viewer-ship or alternatively, by optimising associated merchandising potential as the BBC have now had to begin doing. This means development projects will be packaged and that those Intellectual Property Rights owners with complete in-house production facilities will be in the position to negotiate extremely competitive and lucrative packaged deals.

World-wide music publishing industry sales value exceed US $5bn and growing annually. Prolific broadcast advertising through film medium, video and other technologic aspects will synergise and optimise the value of the various associated licensing mediums, electronic and media products merchandising associated to each and every product produced.

The company has been established to develop, and then to own and exploit various audio-visual electronic and media publishing, licensing and merchandising rights to characters, stories, brand names and any other forms of Intellectual Property Rights generated in-house. It will encourage and assist facilitate the control of exploitation of owned rights in countries, products and various media other than which they were initially conceived by placing particular emphasis on providing strength in depth to European, USA, Japanese and Far Eastern markets.

The estimated global value of retail sales from associated licensed products is far in excess of US$ 150bn with USA, Europe and Japan/Far East accounting for over 70% of this revenue.

Therefore, correctly managed rights enable the licensor to generate huge ongoing exposure and capital receipts, ("Power Rangers" has apparently netted Saban International Inc. US$ 540 million approximately in mainly merchandising revenue alone which then allowed Haim Saban to take on the Fox Family Channel deal with Fox selling only 40% shareholding in Saban International in 1999 for a staggering $1.2 billion.) geographically and by product. By Company licensing each product title, character, brand name, logo and by adding to these in introducing other structures such as well known media and sports personalities can enhance the product value at the retail counter. Youth and Family approval markets are far more likely to reap higher returns and are far less speculative than adult orientated products.

The toy industry is an extremely important one for promoting further sales of licensed goods especially from children and youth characters and concepts. Increased purchasing power and retail consumer influence of this group, make it a key market maker for all products including direct book and video sales. Toys account for approx. US$ 14bn in Europe, USA and Japan.

Firstly, IT and Internet technology are moving forward rapidly, and great technical expertise exists within the team to push the boundaries into new and unvisualised concepts which the teams are now currently working on. Video games rights are extremely acquisitive by major hardware manufacturers and distributors of computer platforms such as SONY and SEGA of "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Super Mario" fame and more recently by American companies like Microsoft becoming deeply involved with Steven Spielberg’s Dream Works and the Internet where, the various products were converted into a host of lucrative outside merchandising opportunities. However, the electronic medium that is evolving so rapidly, spreads a lot further than just current computer games. There are the newer interactive so-called "God Games", in which both youth and adult realistically determine their own sophisticated future outcome by intellectually "Playing God" and adding, buying, selling, hiring, firing and manipulating a given project as in "Theme Park" which sold over 500,000 copies at an average price of US$ 50.00 per game in 1998 and, more importantly, this new format is taking part on most conventional personal computers and not only on company or proprietary hardware products which increases the market potential. Added to this is the emerging Internet, DVD, CD-ROM, CD-i and 3-DO edutainment versions help teach and guide players around almost any given subject matter. In all, there are five main category headings under the computer banner where character rights and copyright from one single product license can be used for varying degrees of hardware.

In line with television and film, a five year development catalogue of in-house programmes of book to screenplay treatments are already completed. Starting with three projects per year in conjunction with other marketing strategies and possibly increasing as the income revenue is rolled-over and profit raising from earlier projects begin to materialise and reap dividends.

The management and advisors have very reliable strengths with major key contacts within the international computer sector business. Through major contacts within a similar sphere of personnel involved with television cross-over, most major distributors and key executives are easily accessible to software presentation. However, the team having worked within the industry also have an international database and connections to agents, producers, hardware and software developer executives, distributors and sources of finance.

Besides personal contact, Immediate Movies plc will concentrate on the key personnel within computer hardware and software marketplace where there is definite cross-over from the major television markets mentioned as well as there are main Computer Fairs in America, Europe and Far East such as E3 in Los Angeles, CES in Los Vegas & Milia in Cannes as well as the book and television fairs where most major international computer developers have key executives and stands in order to further negotiate new project rights.

Create major secondary revenue through a central common portal Internet hub which will assist in binding several differing web-sites together. This universal Hub-of-Hubs will cover "Film" and all associated aspects including development, making and marketing aspects, "Financial" creating source material and combing creativity with financial brokering and lastly, "Brokerage" of a huge range of ordinary and unique media related products connected to both the existing product ranges and the Internet product portfolio especially created for Internet, television game-shows, computer formats, toys, gift-ware etc., to double up on earning potential of the product portfolio licensed or sold throughout the world.

Support and advise agents and licensees in their promotion and marketing of Intellectual Property Rights in order to maintain the quality and longevity of products especially in re-broadcasting of television programmes.

Build and create further balanced portfolio of Intellectual Property Rights.

As with the other regions of Immediate Movies plc business, it will be important that each of its programmes has a clear strategy and is carefully planned in order to maximise merchandising revenue returns especially by targeting the young and family approval sectors of the market. However, revenue will be forthcoming in the following ways:-

Advance payments on signing of licensing contracts.

Royalty payments on the sale of licensed products and in many cases, a minimum guaranteed payment structure. In this way at the outset, Immediate Movies plc would ensure that any forwarded in-house production finance and interest payment revenue for television, feature film or computer projects would be secure irrespective of the success of the project.

A five year development program of the various projects has been carefully taken into account and, with various advisors and international agents having been approached in order to maximise sales coverage of each product in various key areas. However, the key decisions and control will be responsibility of the directors and advisors to co-ordinate, implement and supervise the international licensing program on an overall and, project to project basis.

Because of modern day knowledge, the book of bestiary animals could never be exciting enough so, still using the idea of ancient beasts and other ancient articles such as the Hereford Mappe Mundi and by adding a 21^st century twist, the twenty chapter BEASTERY fantasy mixed with reality book of 65,000 words and 85 illustrated animals was produced. Book publication contract with Harper Collins was signed in December 1999 to attempt creation of a new youthful Tolkien-ish series combining THE BEASTERY, THE MYTH-MAKER and possibly Frank Graves’s successful ANCESTRAL TRAIL into a trilogy of published work.

The different medium for filming, toys and merchandising had to be taken into account when the film script was written and it was decided to adapt the book and add various extras to allow the film to be stretched into the medium of TV Series, Theme Park Ride, Toys etc. from the outset to accommodate major Canadian/North American conglomerate of Hasbro International to become involved as licensee and to further open marketing frontages for the project. The actual film is family orientated and although having a small budget by USA film standards, because of the in-house diversity, will compare favourably with films like JURASSIC PARK in reality and computer trickery. Budgetary coverage including Pre-sales and Film's Budgetary Funding of $10 million have been completed through the USA distributor at the American Filmed Market this year.

THE BEASTERY project has all the facets for computer games, CD-ROM, CD-i and God Games with centre of the universe fantasy, mythology, heraldry, real animals, good verses evil and maps. Coupled with this fact is that the filmed material is largely computer generated which can be easily transferred across to computer software. Initial discussions with SEGA and SONY have taken place and both have expressed interest in expanding the product into various computer platforms.

The exciting 2 hour first stage is a feature film done in conjunction with Paramount Pictures which, dependent on its success will then roll-over into a major television series of 13 half hours as Paramount are also one of the six major terrestrial broadcasters in the USA. This project has also raised negotiations with NBC in America but, the team feel that more mileage will be gained by staying with the Paramount offer.

This project has all the hallmarks of a real multimedia project covering book, filming, video, computer software, toys and merchandising products stemming from the initial story, characters and logo.

With modern thinking as it is, a young crazy looking American computer genius with a love for old master paintings and his European cousin find themselves inside the boy’s magical computer within the art file section. Being a computer they are able to make any picture come to life and build it into a 3D version just as the original artist would have been able to see, walk and move around the area. However, they become bored and for fun start adding modern day things into the paintings to help the local inhabitants of that world. This however, in turn generates a nasty computer virus and his alphabetical army of soldiers who hate humans and want them destroyed. The computer itself has a gentle art critic type inner-self which helps them escape from painting to painting until the two can eventually find a way to correct their mistakes before being able to leave the computer.

Studio Editions, a major artwork and children’s educational publisher has signed a publishing contract and has pre-sold an enormous number to book clubs and when the television series comes out has a huge commitment with a major American publisher.

Again, television broadcasting, toys, and merchandising dictated the book storyline when the full film script was considered. Being in the mode of the live actors filmed against blue screen then super-imposing them utilising a large percentage of computer graphics it required a balanced cross-over from one medium to another yet, looking very similar. Westinghouse Broadcasting of America have forwarded a co-production contract and Immediate Movies plc have been in protracted negotiations with ITV about a 2000/2001 broadcast commission. Other major broadcasters like Warner Bros and Turner International have stated their interest in acquiring rights to this project.

This project lends itself to cover the whole spectrum of computer software ranging from computer games either using a central figure like Nikki Blitzbrush as a character or the project can be made as an independent computer software project or, both. The game and CD-i would use the central figure while the CD-ROM would either demonstrate art famous galleries or computer through the ages, their workings etc. and the God Game would revolve around the running of a major art gallery, buying and selling, staff control etc.

The international 13 half hour series project would be in the edutainment mode and therefore will be youth/adult edutainment by the mixing of fact and fantasy. The spin-off merchandising products are of substantial interest to distributors and will be another real multimedia project tying into all aspects of commercial products

A world of "Spitting Image" type puppets create this world of insanity and in-fighting. The book version leads us through the hilarious life style of two different worlds, one a not so ordinary author’s study, the other, complete insanity and where reality melts in and out of this fantastic world with machines that moan about working conditions, hands with faces and bad tempered birds that are all a laboratory product of a crazy professor. The book rights contract has been signed with Reed Children’s Books whose publishing and merchandising successes include "Thomas the Tank Engine".

Being a band of puppetry figures living in a graveyard type house means there are so many avenues for toys, puppets, board games and dolls on this project.

The whole scenario is principally aimed at children in the 6-11 age group but, in that strange and comical mix, like "The Simpsons", the crazy sense of humour and "Goon" talking characters could very well become a cult for older role model children and adult audiences. Various negotiations are going on with various satellite and cable channel broadcasters in UK, Sweden, Holland, Germany and America mainly because of the lower production budget and ease of translation into all languages attached to this project.

In the genre of fiendish fantasy and having some computer generated special effects in the television series it is obvious that this project will swing across to all levels of computer software platforms. The games speak for themselves while the educational version for CD-ROM and CD-i would travel through a series of known literary works and match styles and monsters ranging from Dracula to Monsters of the Deep.

It is expected that this will be either 13 half hours for Europe or, in America, 26 quarter hours and hence, the film script has taken this into account. Various discussions with European broadcasters are underway as merchandising will also cover a wide spectrum of products internationally because of the nature of the linguistic cross-over genre. Commercially, this product will have many licenses issued.

Edutainment mixed with famous Old Master Paintings when two teenage protagonists enter a computer and find themselves confronted by famous master paintings in 3D as the original artist would have seen the particular place. They begin adding modern day items into the ancient paintings and each time, this generates a nasty gnome-like computer virus and his army of alphabetical soldiers. The two escape from painting to painting with the aid of the talking computer’s inner-soul aiding them along the way. Studio Editions are the publishers of the book and the huge Westinghouse Broadcasting in America have offered a distribution / broadcasting contract.

An author uses her daily routine, friends and family for her now changed characters into a family living in a crazy world ranging somewhere between The Goons and Frankenstein. She too, enters this crazy make-believe world of wacky Spitting Image like puppets which have some weird and disgusting habits. The initial book is a 13 chapter, fully illustrated version is being released by the huge Reed Children’s Book division (which has recently been sold to a major American investor) in conjunction with the televised series.

Humans have left the planet, robots take it upon themselves to create a complete civilisation having been originally programmed by humans. The main story concentrates around the Robot High School where, comically tongue in cheek and, like most teenage youngsters, they are constantly getting up to all sorts of mischief. The whole scenario is almost what we can expect to happen in a futuristic 90210 version, done very powerfully, using almost lifelike computer graphics. A pilot film is ready, complete film scripting finished and, negotiations with a Major Studio is in progress. On the back of Disney’s successful Toy Story, this will do very well.

Some day, somewhere, there is a war going on. One of those wars where the enemy knows what it is doing but, you do not have a clue. Luckily it is only a state-of-the-art 3D computer graphics type - the kind that leaps out of the screen and can be re-animated week after week, fortunately for our band of mercenaries. These characters show the futility of war by trooping pointlessly around a doomed island trying to outsmart the local dictator in a million entertaining ways. It’s like the Simpsons, yet worse in taste, or even Tom and Jerry without the human warmth, it could become a cult to both young and old. The book, film draft, computer game and video pilot is all complete and being discussed with a major Canadian broadcaster for television broadcasting release.

The Breakthrough Series consists of Eight (8) book titles written for publication by Labyrinth Publishing the story demonstrates the precarious adventures of a young boy and his dog being whisked away into different worlds while learning about that particular world, its inhabitants, the surroundings and environment etc. However, this becomes a fantasy edutainment series covering Underwater, Jungle, Desert, Polar Region, Riverbank, Forest Floor, City Life & Birds Flying as the principle subject matter. In each case the boy meets hostility from the locals ranging from King Neptune under the sea, to a Griffin in the air as he learns about modern day environmental problems caused by man’s thoughtlessness. It becomes his duty, or so he thinks, to try in his own simple way to help right the wrong. This will be a mixture of cell animation, computer graphics interlaced with live shots of animals, places and scenes and is currently being discussed with S4C and BBC Wales for televised broadcasting.

An alien invasion force of cute ET’s decide to take over the planet earth in a do-or-die mission because their planet is about to terminate. The probe team arrives before notifying the hundreds of space ships that the invasion can commence. It is only when these beings leave their ships to go and investigate that the crafts are found by some school children who become excited and think that somebody has lost a toy spaceship because it makes all the right sounds.

However, it is only then that the probe group realises they are in a land of giants, for they are about 4 inches tall and now it is too late to warn the others because their ship is missing. The kids have already shown the ship to adults who have begun investigating and now, the kids become these scared aliens protectors while at the same time trying to retrieve the alien’s spaceship. The models and filmed pilot videos are well underway and discussions to take this further are in progress with American distributor.

Somewhere in the Universe the Great Council is in session. Eleven councillors are present. Each has placed a part of a crystal into a special container on the centre of the table. Only one seat remains empty : Enter Valkazar who tries snatching the crystals. In the ensuing struggle that follows, one piece falls to the floor, quite suddenly the whole room seems to explode as Valkazar escapes. The one remaining crystal belongs to Dysonar, the human time traveller. Dysonar travels to earth but, not without a problem to his spaceship. He arrives at the home of his descendants and with the aid of Charlie and Lucie who are distant relatives, they travel through time in a makeshift public toilet stolen from the local council depot (it’s brand new of course) guided by Mr C, the temperamental living computer which takes up residence in a toilet bowl. They travel through time meeting up with characters such as Charles Dickens, visit Pet’s Heaven, join the Boston Tea Party etc. and the characters involved in each time frame, they also learn about that world. However, their main challenge now is to find at least six of the missing crystals before the evil Valkazar does.

It is after the holocaust and all that remains are robots. However, these same robots have gained their initial instruction and generation DNA instruction from humans, albeit many generations ago. The divide between good and bad has intensified so that good becomes extremely angelic and bad becomes over-the-top rogue, and their hate for each other knows no boundaries as they vie for control on this finely tuned line outside the no mans land controlled by powerful enforcement machines. Models and film footage are ready and pre-sale discussions are about to commence.

Within a pop-up book, the various nursery rhyme characters do some amazing things, there are detectives like Sherlock Holmes helping characters like Alice in Wonderland to solve several mysteries in most ingenious ways. The world of older nursery favourites will be seen in totally new and different light as characters and places are brought to life through computer artistry where they interact, help and involve themselves with each other throughout the series. This is now in the course of book development.

The biggest threat to the world is over-population. An accountant stumbles onto a major conspiracy by various major western powers hiding deep within the United Nations to kill at least 10,000,000 people a year and all this without anyone becoming suspicious or suspecting these seemingly innocent disasters and loss of life are really man-made. The book to be released by Harper Collins has been well researched and, the Eastern Bloc since the collapse have now admitted to financing projects to experiment the feasibility of wiping out vast numbers of people and controlling these types of disasters. Nobody will believe the accountant who goes on the run when the heavyweights behind the scheme realise that he knows what is happening. The script has been written and initial development work complete and now discussions are in progress with two major studios in America.

An incestuous brother and sister team run into trouble when their small business becomes the target of a major conglomerate take-over. The battle is a no-holds-barred type struggle with industrial espionage, sexual coercion and anything else foul that goes attitude by the heads of the conglomerate. However, things are not what they seem, the head of the large company has a sadistic sideline in illegal stud knuckle Thai type boxing amid sumptuous surroundings for the very well-to-do and, in so doing crosses the Mafia types with his "win at all costs" bet welching deals. This becomes his downfall because the sister of the small firm had been married to a now deceased god-father. The small company ends up owning the large conglomerate. The book version is complete and will be published next year, and development work for the film will be started shortly.

What would the gigantic petroleum cartels, and others do if someone came up with an unlimited supply of fuel which is a very simple, environmentally regenerating clean air hydrogen type pill that could be sold over the counters at all corner shops, supermarkets anywhere and, at the same time keep existing vehicles on the road with a very slight mechanical modification. An Oxford professor is a leading light in a Greenpeace-type organisation does just that but, the word soon filters out. She and her partner go on the run while the petro-cartel bad boys, including fortune hunters try to get her to break her silence. Covertly she and others set up a world-wide company and register patents to attempt to keep this out of the hands of the greedy. Eventually she finds that her colleagues within the so-called environmentalist groups are just as greedy and conniving as the rest of the pack. This book is being completed and negotiations with the BBC are in progress.

Immediate Movies plc has now reached the stage of its development where it needs to raise development / production funding and development capital in order to implement its international strategic objective of becoming a soundly based and highly profitable international film, Internet and multimedia organisation. The net proceeds of the Offer will be used to further develop, invest and co-produce the existing in-house film, television, animation and computer projects outlined in this document and to control through wholly owned subsidiaries, a group of strategic production companies formulated from project to project. Once consolidated, in film terms alone, the Company has budgeted to produce over $22 million of product at cost in the first year. This then translated to sales will create a knock-on effect through the merchandise related items and create a turnover which hopefully will more than double the cost figure. Sales returns within the entertainment industry can be substantial and carry with it a long term return for the same product and individual rights on each and every project created.

The company is primarily seeking to achieve capital growth for its shareholders. However, provided that it achieves its objectives and adequate profits during the year, the Company anticipates paying dividends in respect of the financial year ending 30^th March 2001 and will continue to do so as appropriate thereafter.

The company believe that prospective investors will, in due course, wish to realise all or part of their investment in the Company. In recognition of this, and the objectives of the company have been met, it is the company’s intention to apply for a full stock market dealing facility of the Rules of the London Stock Exchange sometime in 2000. Until then, no new shares will be allotted by the company unless fully agreed in a shareholders vote at a General Meeting.

The company will become dependent on a number of key contractual relationships for a substantial proportion of its turnover to materialise and on key personnel for its continuing success.

The company is continuing to involve itself in high technology that traditionally provided additional source of risk. However, new techniques and new developments in the technological arena may effect the company’s business performance, for instance the bursting of the technological bubble which is why Immediate Movies has strongly underpinned the whole by including a safer production facility that has endured through good times and bad.

In obtain both overall investment or whether on a project by project to smaller investors (Financial Angels) it is possible that various projects in development at any stage, may not be as successful as others or that in the course of market research and development some projects may have to shelved and replaced with new projects
