Additional Projects 50 4 4 River Rock Films (“River Rock”) is a newly created media company started by seasoned professionals to exploit current favorable conditions in entertainment and thereby generate outsized returns Our business plan is based on several key factors: . Filmed entertainment is capital intensive but production capital remains scarce due to current economic conditions . Studios are concentrating their limited capital on high risk / high reward franchise films but need to continue distributing high quality, third-party films to fill-out their release schedules . Top projects from established producers and directors get crowded out from the studio system; backlog of high quality films are now available for production by River Rock . Entry point is attractive for investors given the lack of available capital: talent costs are lower, distribution economics are more favorable, films are increasingly more global in reach, and the digital opportunity is substantial . Applying a systematic, diversified, and conservative approach to investing in River Rock projects can generate significant returns River Rock is raising $100 million to create, produce and distribute a portfolio of films over 5 years: . River Rock has internally developed and can acquire top projects to produce by partnering with top level talent agents, and established producers, directors . We can leverage our relationships for distribution of River Rock productions . We plan to preserve and diversify capital through co-financing and/or pre-selling foreign rights . A film portfolio can generate cash flow into perpetuity . The plan is highly scalable as a business model By combining management’s experience in producing film and entertainment properties, our relationship with top industry participants, and access to top projects, River Rock is positioned to prosper in this new industry paradigm 5 5 INVESTOR INVESTOR INVESTOR REPORTS FUNDS PROFITS TO TO RIVER ROCK FILMS FILM DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION AND NEW MEDIA • Develops IP and Scripts • Distribution of River Rock Productions • Acquires IP/Scripts/Rights • Music Videos, Gaming, • Produces film & television content • Online content & Soundtracks PARTNERS AND DEAL FLOW DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS ICM$ UTA$ WME$ CAA$ LG/FOX/SONY$ OPEN$ROAD$ NETFLIX$ iTUNES$ A B C D A B C D 6 6 Secures Investors Determines investment policy and strategy Approves acquisitions, dispositions, and financings Manages investor relations, communications and financial reporting Develops Film and TV productions Produces Film, TV and New Media Content Distributes River Rock Productions 7 7 • River Rock Films seeks total capital commitments of $100 million. • Two Types of investments – Class I: $250,000 Unit - Debt Based Convertible Note – 2 Year Commitment with no profit participation – Class II: $500,000 Unit - Debt Based Convertible Note – 5 Year Commitment with profit participation • River Rock Films will focus on the following activities: – Invest in Development, Production, Distribution and Technology used by and for Entertainment Properties to include Feature Film and TV.
