In the rapidly expanding market for home entertainment, quality programming is a valuable commodity.

Programs produced by Shalimar Films have also been featured on national television programs such as The Joan Rivers Show and on Fox Television Network's national cable network, FX.

With its highly qualified management team, marketing resources, and progressive business relationships, Shalimar Films is well-positioned to take full advantage of the industry's phenomenal on-going growth. In order to assure the success of their products Shalimar Films has prudently enlisted the resources and capabilities of major corporations, secured by contractual commitments, to market and distribute their programs to the worldwide marketplace.

The proven track record of the industry, combined with its current evolution and strong positive forecast for future growth, offers significant potential for highly rewarding investment opportunities. The demonstrated expertise and entrepreneurial temperament of Shalimar Films provides an attractive opportunity for investors to profit from a truly innovative emerging growth company with tremendous potential.

Concept

Shalimar Films recently signed several pre-sale distribution and marketing contracts that guarantee distribution of their original programs to Home Entertainment and Television markets worldwide. These contracts have been signed with Capital Cities/ABC, Pentrex Publishing, Unapix Entertainment, Time-Life Video, and ATA Trading Corporation. The programs are based on a variety of popular, interesting, and entertaining topics. Each program is designed to capitalize on prevailing trends that have demonstrated commercial success within the industry.

Negotiations are also in progress with Mega Books for a series of illustrated books based on our original children's television programming. These book versions will feature an audio cassette with narration, sound EFX, and original music in order to provide children with a more unique, entertaining, and interactive product that will enhance their learning experience and enjoyment.

A diverse assortment of original television and home video programs will be developed and produced by Shalimar films in four (4) individual phases. Each phase will result in the completion and delivery of several commercially viable, revenue producing products for worldwide distribution. The diversity and quantity of programs produced in each phase will dramatically reduce risk typically associated with dependency on the success of just one program or genre.
