In July 2002, the Partnership sold all of its rights in “Curacao” to an unaffiliated film distributor. See Note 4, Subsequent Events, for more information about this transaction.

(4) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2002, the Partnership sold all of its rights in “The Little Kidnappers” and “Curacao” to Screen Media Ventures LLC, an unaffiliated film distributor (“Screen Media”). Also in July 2002, the Partnership licensed certain distribution rights in “The Story Lady” to Screen Media. The Partnership received gross proceeds of $50,000, $200,000 and $100,000, respectively. The consideration for these transactions was determined by arms-length negotiations between the General Partner and Screen Media.

From the $350,000 total proceeds, twenty five percent (25%) or $87,500 is required to be escrowed until the end of November 2002. The Partnership received $262,500 at closing, from which a ten percent (10%) commission or $26,250 was paid to Tulip Media Ltd. (“Tulip”), an unaffiliated party, which brokered these transactions for the Partnership. When the $87,500 is released from escrow, the Partnership will pay Tulip $8,750, the remainder of its ten percent (10%) commission. In the third quarter of 2002, the Partnership will recognize a gain on the sale of “The Little Kidnappers” and “Curacao” equal to the gross proceeds less commissions. Also in the third quarter, the Partnership will recognize $100,000 in licensing revenue from the “The Story Lady” and $10,000 in distribution expense for Tulip’s commission.

On July 30, 2002, the Partnership paid the General Partner $74,000 to reimburse it for all unpaid amounts it had advanced to the Partnership as of that date. The General Partner will continue to be reimbursed for all expenses incurred or paid on behalf of the Partnership.

In August 2002, the Partnership transferred its remaining distribution rights in “The Story Lady” to NBC. As consideration for transferring such rights, and as part of a mutual release, NBC released the Partnership from all past and future obligations, including the approximately $175,000 liability accrued by the Partnership. The Partnership will recognize an approximately $175,000 gain from this transaction in the third quarter of 2002.

With the disposition of its film assets, the Partnership will not conduct any business other than winding up its affairs. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, anticipates making a distribution to the limited partners in August 2002 and a final distribution in December 2002 or January 2003.

The ~~General Partner believes that the distribution of the proceeds from the sales of the~~ Partnership’s assets together with all prior distributions paid to the limited partners, will return to the limited partners approximately seventy percent (70%) of their initial capital contributions to the Partnership. The Partnership retained the services of an unaffiliated broker to to assist in the sale of the Partnership’s films. To date, the broker has been paid $6,675 for film evaluation ~~services~~ services and expenses. The broker has also been paid $26,250 in commissions for the sale of “The Little Kidnappers” ~~and~~ and “Curacao” and “The Story Lady” licensing agreement. The broker will receive a final commission payment of $8,750 when the sales proceeds held in escrow are released at the end of November 2002.

The ~~General Partner anticipates that the proceeds from the sale of the~~ Partnership’s currently ~~film~~has ~~assets will provide the Partnership~~ sufficient liquidity to fund its limited operations until the Partnership is dissolved. The ~~Partnership’s~~General ~~only~~Partner ~~source~~will be ofreimbursed ~~future~~for ~~cash~~any amounts advanced to the Partnership before the ~~flow~~anticipated ~~will~~final bedistribution ~~interest~~is ~~income~~made ~~from~~to ~~invested~~the ~~cash~~limited ~~balances~~partners. As of September 30, ~~which~~2002, ~~will~~such ~~not~~unreimbursed beadvances totaled approximately ~~significant~~$2,000.
