PROSPECTUS
STUDIO CITY HOLDING CORPORATION
27,482,001 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
3,825,834 SHARES OF CLASS B PREFERRED STOCK
This securities of Studio City Holding Corporation, a New York corporation
(together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") to which this Prospectus relates
are: (i) 27,482,001 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, $.002 par value (the
"Common Stock) and (ii) 3,825,834 shares of Class B Preferred Stock, $.0001 par
value per share (the "Class B Preferred Stock"), all of which securities are to
be offered and sold from time to time by and on behalf of the holders of such
securities, referred to herein as "Selling Security Holders." The names of such
Selling Security Holders and their respective holdings are set forth in Appendix
A under "Selling Security Holders."
The securities of the Company to which this Prospectus relates were issued
without compliance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act of
1933 in reliance upon exemptions therefrom the Company believed were available.
Since the exemptions from registration relied upon by the Company may not have
been available, the Company is effecting registration of all such securities in
the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, so that the
holders of the securities, most of whom acquired their securities more than two
years ago, may publicly offer and sell their securities freely and without
limitation (unless they are "affiliates" of the Company). None of the proceeds
from the sale of the securities by the Selling Security Holders pursuant to this
Prospectus will be received by the Company. The securities may be offered by the
Selling Security Holders from time to time in transactions for their own
accounts in the over-the-counter market in negotiated transactions, or in a
combination of such methods of sale, at negotiated prices, in that there is no
established trading market for such securities. The Selling Security Holders may
effect such transactions by selling to or through broker-dealers, and such
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Security Holders or the purchasers of the
securities for whom/which such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom/which
they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).
The Selling Security Holders and any broker-dealers that act in connection
with the sale of the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of Section 2(l1) of the Securities Act and any commissions received by
them and any profit on the resale of the securities as principal might be deemed
to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.
The holders of Class B Preferred Stock have no voting rights except as
required by law. The holders of Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive,
out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative preferential dividends at
the rate of 12% per annum per share, based on earnings. Shares of Class B
Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock on the basis of one
share of Class B Preferred Stock for ten shares of Common Stock. See
"Description of Securities."
There is currently no public trading market for any securities of the
Company and there can be no assurance that any such market will develop in the
future. In that there is no public trading market, the initial public offering
prices for the securities has been arbitrarily determined by the Company as the
par value of such securities and may not be indicative of the prices at which
such securities may be offered or sold by the Selling Security Holders.
THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
POTENTIAL PURCHASERS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS SET FORTH UNDER "RISK
FACTORS." COMMENCING ON PAGE 4 HEREOF.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

of Common Stock (including 3,800,000 treasury shares), 10,000,000 shares of
Class A Preferred Stock and 3,825,834 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. None of
the securities covered by this Prospectus will be offered by the Company and
there will continue to be 31,282,001 shares of Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares
of Class A Preferred Stock and 3,825,834 shares of Class B Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding after giving effect to the offering by the Selling

Common Stock at $3.00 per share until December 31, 1999 and warrants to purchase
5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share until February 16, 2003.
THE COMPANY
The Company is a development stage media holding company specializing in
the creation of "entertainment franchises" and the development of its fifteen
wholly-owned or majority-owned media subsidiaries. An "entertainment franchise"
is an intellectual property which can create substantial revenues from at least
five different and non-related sources of revenue creation; it is purposefully
created and designed to be recognized as a "brand name" with multiple areas of
revenue generators. For example, an intellectual property which is an
entertainment franchise could create revenues from (1) publishing, (2) motion
picture distribution, (3) television broadcast, (4) home video sales, (5) audio
product sales, (6) licensing, (7) spinoff product sales, (8) merchandising, (9)
ancillary products and (10) segmented usage. The Company, through its
subsidiaries, owns a portfolio of intellectual properties and production rights.
The Company plans to provide its operating subsidiaries with financing and
management services, including accounting, planning, budgeting and human
resources management. The Company's subsidiaries are media companies which
intend to produce products in the motion picture, television, publishing and
other industries.
Except for certain limited operations, the Company's activities to date
have consisted primarily of raising capital, obtaining financing, acquiring
intellectual properties, and administrative activities relating to the
foregoing. The Company's proposed business, including both expansion of its
current limited operations and its proposed activities, requires substantial
additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available in a
3
<PAGE> 6
timely manner, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Since the Company is
in the development stage, it is subject to all the risks inherent in undertaking
a new business venture. See "Risk Factors."
Each of its subsidiaries also is in the development stage with a limited or
no operating history. Consequently, the subsidiaries have generated little or no
revenues as of the date hereof. In addition, there can be no assurance that any
of the subsidiaries will achieve significant operations, generate significant
revenues or attain profitability.
The Company was incorporated in New York under the name "CVT Corp. of
America" ("CVT") in March 1984. From 1984 to 1993, CVT was engaged in limited
sales, manufacturing and marketing operations of continuous variable speed
transmissions. Unable to finance the research and development necessary to
continue operations, CVT ceased operations in 1993. On June 28, 1996, CVT
changed its name to "Studio City Holding Corporation" and, effective July 1,
1996, merged with Studio City Incorporated Holding, a Florida corporation
("Studio City-Florida"), a development stage media holding company. The
Company's principal executive office is located at 14400 Southwest 46th Court,
Ocala, Florida 34484, where its telephone number is (352) 347-3947. The
Company's corporate offices are located in care of Dante S. Alberi, Esq., 153
Stevens Avenue, Suite 7, Mount Vernon, New York 10550, where the telephone
number is (914)668-5020.
Studio City-Florida was a development stage multimedia company incorporated
in 1991 to engage in asset development, business management, production and
post-production studio operation, motion picture studio operation, tourist
attraction operation, the development of motion pictures for theatrical
exhibition, for television and home video, and in the development, production
and distribution of printed publications. At the time of the merger with CVT
Corp. of America, Studio City-Florida owned a large number of intellectual
properties and a partial interest in other intellectual properties, but had not
generated significant revenues.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered hereby is highly speculative in
nature, involves a high degree of risk and should be made only by investors who
can afford the loss of their entire investment. In addition to the factors set
forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, prospective investors should give careful
consideration to the following risk factors in evaluating the Company and its
business before purchasing any securities offered hereby.
Substantial Operating Losses; No Assurance of Success. During the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, and the five months ended May 31, 1998,
the Company had net losses of $316,578, $557,405, $539,002 and $187,881
respectively. At May 31, 1998, the Company had cumulative deficits since
inception of $1,942,162. The cumulative deficits reflect the cost of
developmental and other start-up activities, without significant offsetting
revenues. The Company's business is capital intensive. The Company expects to
continue to incur significant losses in the future. The Company's proposed
operations are subject to numerous risks associated with establishing any new
business, including unforeseeable expenses, delays and complications, as well as
specific risks of the highly competitive entertainment industry. There can be no
assurance that the Company's business plan will be successful, that it will be
able to market any product on a commercial scale, that it will achieve or
sustain profitable operations or that it will be able to remain in business. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Business."
Possible Contingent Liability. Effective July 1, 1996, Studio City-Florida
merged with and into the Company, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated October 12, 1995 (the "Plan of Merger"), approved by the vote of the
shareholders of such constituent corporations. Pursuant to the Plan of Merger
(i) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Larry D.
Faw, the President and Chairman of the Board of the Company, were converted into
10,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock, (ii) 10,000,000
shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Mr. Faw were converted
into 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock, (iii) 1,000,000
shares of the Class B Preferred Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Mr. Faw
were converted into 1,000,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock of the Company,
(iv) warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio
City-Florida were converted into Warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, at $1.00 per share, and (v) each of the remaining issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida were converted
into one share of the Company's Common Stock. These securities were
4
<PAGE> 7
issued without compliance with the registration requirements of the federal
securities laws or any state securities laws, in reliance upon exemptions
therefrom the Company believed to be available therefor. However, the exemptions
relied upon may not have been available, because of the number of persons
involved, and, consequently, the Company may be contingently liable up to
$1,125,405.
Need for Additional Financing; Working Capital Deficit. The entertainment
industry generally requires constant infusions of new and substantial capital to
finance projects. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available to
the Company or, if available, that the funds can be obtained on terms favorable
to the Company. The Company's ability to operate as a going concern is
contingent upon such infusions of capital or the ability of the Company to
attract financing for its projects from other sources. Any equity financings
could result in dilution to the Company's then existing stockholders. At
September 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit of $142,561. The
Company's business plan for the next fiscal year contemplates the need for more
than $900,000, exclusive of the liability to Mr. Faw, see "Business -- Faw
Purchase Agreement," with no known sources of liquidity. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation." The
Company's failure to pay its liability to Mr. Faw, or to other creditors, could
result in its bankruptcy.
Valuation Uncertainty. In 1993, Studio City-Florida acquired various
intellectual properties from Mr. Faw which had an estimated value of $7,226,000,
in exchange for a demand promissory note for $1,554,027 and certain securities.
The purchase price was determined by reference to industry standards as detailed
in the National Labor Relations Board's Collective Bargaining Agreement between
the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Writers Guild of
America, which reflects the minimum replacement costs and pass through financial
obligations to industry-wide motion picture and television producers and
purchasers of intellectual properties. The industry standards referred to in
that agreement may have no relationship to commercial, economic or fair market
value of the intangible assets.
Risk of Low-Priced Stocks. Currently, the Company's Common Stock is
considered a "penny stock" for purposes of the Exchange Act. Rules The penny
stock regulations, set forth in Rules 15g-I through 15g-9 promulgated under the
Exchange Act, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain
brokers and dealers who engage in certain transactions involving penny stock.
Under the penny stock regulations, unless the broker or dealer or the
transaction is otherwise exempt, a broker or dealer selling penny stock to
anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally,
an individual with net worth in excess of $ 1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special
suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's
written consent to the transaction prior to sale. In addition, the penny stock
regulations require the broker or dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction
involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") relating to the penny stock market. A
broker or dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker
or dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the
securities. In addition, a broker or dealer is required to send monthly
statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock
held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market
in penny stocks.
The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed by the
penny stock regulations could impede the sale of the Company's Common Stock in
the secondary market. In addition, the market liquidity for the Company's
securities may be severely adversely affected, with concomitant adverse effects
on the price of the Company's securities.
Entertainment Industry. The entertainment industry is highly competitive
and involves a considerable degree of risk. Each entertainment project is an
individual artistic work, and its commercial success is primarily determined by
audience reaction, which is unpredictable. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance as to the financial success of any motion picture or entertainment
project. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the audiences for motion
pictures or entertainment projects will remain constant. The motion picture and
entertainment industries are extremely competitive. The Company competes with
many other motion picture and entertainment companies, including the "major"
motion picture studios, which are larger and have financial resources which are
substantially greater than those of the Company. The major motion
5
<PAGE> 8
picture studios are typically large, diversified entertainment concerns or
subsidiaries of diversified corporations which have strong relationships with
creative talent, exhibitors and others involved in the entertainment industry,
and whose non-motion picture operations often provide stable sources of earnings
that offset variations in the financial performance of their motion picture
operations.
Reliance Upon Management. The business of the Company will be managed by
Larry D. Faw who shall serve as the Company's President and Chairman of the
Board of Directors, as well as the executive producer and the director of its
productions. The loss of Mr. Faw, particularly in the early stages of the
Company's operations, would materially adversely affect the Company. The Company
has no key man insurance in effect for Mr. Faw. See "Management."
Competition. The Company's entertainment projects will be competing with
other motion pictures or films and projects attempting to gain distribution. The
major studios and many independents have established relationships with
successful filmmakers and are able to obtain distribution agreements with
comparatively favorable terms. Many of these companies have the ability to offer
potential distributors and promoters a number of films or projects which may be
more attractive than a single film or project. Although some industry practices
have enabled smaller independents with viable products to find distribution for
a single reasonably budgeted film, the Company will not possess many of the
advantages in distribution which are enjoyed by the larger well established film
producers. Once the Company has contracted with a distributor, its motion
pictures and projects will be competing with other products for exhibition time
in the various markets. There is no assurance that the Company's products will
be able to compete successfully under these circumstances. See
"Business-Competition."
No Trademark Protection. The Company's trademarks and rights to characters
are the principal assets of the Company. The Company presently has no
trademarks, but plans to file applications for trademark and copyright
protection for each of its titles and featured characters before the end of
1998. There can be no assurance that any such application, when filed, will be
approved, or that the Company will have the financial and other resources
necessary to enforce its proprietary rights against infringement by others. The
inability of the Company to obtain adequate protection of or to enforce its
proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Effect of Outstanding Warrants and Convertible Securities. As of the date
of this Prospectus, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 5,000,000
shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share, warrants to purchase 500,000 shares
of Common Stock at $3.00 per share, and 3,825,834 shares of Class B Preferred
Stock convertible into 38,258,340 shares of Common Stock. As long as such
warrants and convertible securities remain unexercised or are not converted, as
the case may be, the terms under which the Company could obtain additional
capital may be adversely affected.
Control by Present Stockholders. The Company's President and Chairman of
the Board of Directors, Larry Faw, beneficially owns 10,000,000 shares of Class
A Preferred Stock and 10,196,277 shares of Common Stock representing
approximately 83.1% of the total voting power of the Company. As a result, he
will be able to continue to influence the election of the Company's directors
and otherwise control the Company's management and operations. See "Principal
Stockholders" and "Description of Securities."
Collective Bargaining Agreements. A substantial number of the artists,
talent and crafts-people involved in the entertainment industry are represented
by trade unions with industry-wide collective bargaining agreements. An
industry-wide strike causing a prolonged disruption in project production could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
No Distribution Agreement. The Company currently does not have a
pre-production distribution agreement in place for any of its products and can
not offer any assurance to investors that a distribution agreement can be
obtained or if obtained that such agreement will be profitable. It is difficult
for a small independent producer to market a product to the networks or for
independent syndication. The success of such marketing effort is dependent upon
many factors including (a) the quality of the product, (b) the fit of the
product to the network's or syndicate's other program mix and selection
criteria, (c) perceived public trends, (d) the reputation of the producers, and
(e) in part the individual producers interpersonal relationships within
6
<PAGE> 9
the industry. Although management believes favorable distribution agreements can
be obtained, the lack of a pre-production agreement substantially increases the
risk to the investors.
Determination of Offering Price; Market Illiquidity. The initial offering
price of $.002 per share for the Common Stock and $.0001 for the Class B
Preferred Stock was arbitrarily determined by the Company and represents the
respective par value of each of those securities. The price is not based upon
earnings or any history of operations and should not be construed as indicative
of the present or anticipated future value of the securities. There is currently
no public trading market for the securities and there can be no assurance that
one will develop in the future. The price at which these securities may be
offered to the public by Selling Security Holders may be greater than the market
price for the securities following the offering. Due to the lack of earnings
history of the Company and the absence of a reasonable expectation of dividends
in the near future, there can be no assurance of an active and liquid trading
market for the Common Stock or any other securities of the Company developing in
the future. A purchaser of securities in this offering may face difficulties in
finding a purchaser for his or her securities and may expect to receive a lower
price for such securities than otherwise may be the case. See "Determination of
Offering Price." The offer and sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock in
the public market could adversely affect the market price prevailing from time
to time.
No Dividends. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on any of its
shares of Class A Preferred Stock, Class B Preferred Stock or Common Stock and
does not presently intend to pay cash in the foreseeable future. Rather, any
future earnings will be used to satisfy the considerable financing requirements
of the Company. However, to the extent that earnings permit, the Company will
pay a dividend of 12% per annum on its shares of Class B Preferred Stock. It is
not likely that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
Forward-Looking Statements. Certain statements throughout this Prospectus
regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and the plans and
objectives of Company management for future operations, are forward-looking
statements rather than historical or current facts. When used in this
Prospectus, words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its
management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
are based on the beliefs of the Company's management as well as assumptions made
by and information currently available to the Company's management. Such
statements are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that the
underlying assumptions will prove to be valid. Actual results could differ
materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result
of certain factors, such as those disclosed under "Risk Factors," including but
not limited to the Company's lack of operating history, competitive factors, and
general economic conditions. Such statements reflect the current views of the
Company with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks,
uncertainties and assumptions relating to the operations, results of operations,
growth strategy and liquidity of the Company. All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of any securities
by the Selling Security Holders. The net proceeds to the Company with respect to
the exercise of any of the Warrants will be used for general corporate purposes
and working capital, in order to pay administrative costs of operating the
Company, including salaries, rent, legal and accounting fees and expenses.
However, there can be no assurance that any of the Warrants will be exercised
and due to the lack of market for the Common Stock the Company does not expect
any of the Warrants to be exercised at this time. The expenses of this offering,
estimated at $150,000, will be paid solely by the Company.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The initial offering price of $.002 per share for the Common Stock and
$.0001 for the Class B Preferred Stock was arbitrarily determined by the Company
and represents the par value of the Company's Common Stock. The price is not
based upon earnings or any history of operations and should not be construed as
indicative of the present or anticipated future value of the Common Stock. There
is currently no public market
7
<PAGE> 10
for the shares of Common Stock or Class B Preferred Stock. The price at which
these shares are being offered to the public may be greater than the market
price for the Common Stock and Class B Preferred Stock following the offering.
Due to the lack of earnings history of the Company and the absence of a
reasonable expectation or assurance of dividends in the near future, there can
be no assurance of an active and liquid market for the Common Stock and Class B
Preferred Stock developing in the future. A purchaser of securities in this
offering may face difficulties in finding a purchaser for his or her securities
and may expect to receive a lower price for such securities than otherwise may
be the case.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The Shares and Class B Preferred Stock are to be offered and sold from time
to time by and on behalf of the Selling Security Holders named in Appendix A, in
the manner and under the circumstances described on the cover page of this
Prospectus and under "The Offering" and "Plan of Distribution."
Appendix A to this Prospectus sets forth for each Selling Security Holder
the number of Shares and Class B Preferred Stock beneficially owned prior to the
offering and the number to be offered and sold; assuming that each Selling
Security Holder sells all his or her securities, the number and percentage of
shares of Common Stock and Class B Preferred Stock to be owned by each after
completion of the offering will be zero. Except as described, there are no
material relationships between any of the Selling Security Holders and the
Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates, nor have any such material
relationships existed within the past three years.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares and Class B Preferred Stock may be offered by the Selling
Security Holders from time to time in transactions for their own account (which
may include block transactions) in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, or a combination of such methods of sale, at negotiated prices, in
that there is no established trading market for such securities. The Selling
Security Holders may effect the sale of the Shares and Class B Preferred Stock
by selling the securities to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the Selling Security Holders or the purchasers for whom/which such
broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom/which they sell as principal, or both
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions). The Selling Security Holders and any broker-dealers that
act in connection with the sale of the securities may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(l1) of the Securities Act and any
commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities as
principal might be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities
Act.
There is no established public trading market for any securities of the
Company and there is no assurance that any such market will develop in the
future. Moreover, the initial offering prices for the securities have been
arbitrarily determined by the Company as the par value of each of such
securities and may not be indicative of the prices at which such securities may
be offered and sold by the Selling Security Holders.
BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company is a development stage media holding company specializing in
the creation of "entertainment franchises" and the development of its fifteen
media subsidiaries. The Company, through its subsidiaries, owns a portfolio of
intellectual properties and production rights. The properties include stories
and titles, some of which are copyrighted and others of which are works in
progress or under development. The Company plans to provide its operating
subsidiaries with financing and management services, including accounting,
planning, budgeting and human resources management. The Company's subsidiaries
also are development stage media companies which intend to produce products in
the motion picture, television, publishing and other industries.
Except for certain limited operations, the Company's activities to date
have consisted primarily of raising capital, obtaining financing, acquiring
intellectual properties, and administrative activities relating to the
foregoing. The Company's proposed business, including both expansion of its
current limited operations and its
8
<PAGE> 11
proposed activities, requires substantial additional equity or debt financing,
which may not be available in a timely manner, on commercially reasonable terms,
or at all. The Company has not exploited any of the properties acquired from Mr.
Faw in 1993 due to the lack of necessary financing. Since the Company is in the
development stage, it is subject to all the risks inherent in undertaking a new
business venture.
FAW PURCHASE AGREEMENT
In February 1993, Studio City-Florida entered into an agreement with Larry
D. Faw, the President and Chairman of the Board of the Company, to acquire
direct ownership of various intellectual properties having an estimated value of
$7,226,000, including 72 motion picture properties, four television pilot
properties, 48 books for publication, four inventions, one franchise program and
one specialty product design and marketing program, in exchange for a promissory
note payable on February 16, 1995 in the amount of $1,554,027 (the "Faw Note"),
and warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio
City-Florida. Interest on the Faw Note accrues at the rate of 2% per annum and
the principal amount was due and payable on February 16, 1995. Since 1993,
interest payments of $130,000 have been made on the Faw Note and accrued
interest payable to Mr. Faw at July 1, 1998 is $360,449. Since maturity, the Faw
Note has been extended for consecutive six month terms at the annual interest
rate of 9%. The warrants are exercisable until 2003 at $1.00 per share. In
addition, Mr. Faw received 1,000,000 shares of Class Preferred B Stock. See
"Description of Securities -- Warrants" and "Certain Transactions."
THE MERGER
Effective July 1, 1996, Studio City-Florida merged with and into the
Company, pursuant to the Plan of Merger. Except for certain shares held by Larry
D. Faw, the President and Chairman of the Board, each of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Studio City-Florida were converted into
one share of the Company's Common Stock, and 100,000,000 shares of common stock
of Studio City-Florida held by Larry D. Faw, were converted into 10,000,000
shares of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock. See "Description of
Securities."
Pursuant to the federal and state securities laws, it is unlawful to sell
any security unless the security is registered or exempt from the registration
requirements of such laws. The shares of the Company's Common Stock and Class A
Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Plan of Merger were not registered and
may not have been exempt from registration. Consequently, although the Company
believed exemptions to be available, the offer and sale of the shares of Common
Stock may have been made in violation of federal and state securities laws. The
federal securities laws and most state laws provide for rights of redress (in
the form of rescission, or damages if the security has been sold) for purchasers
of securities sold in violation of the applicable registration provisions of
such laws. There can be no assurance that claims asserting violations of state
or federal securities laws will not be asserted. A successful claim brought
against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
SUBSIDIARIES
Set forth below is a description of the Company's subsidiaries. Unless
otherwise indicated, all of the subsidiaries described below are wholly-owned by
the Company. Each of its subsidiaries is in the development stage with a limited
or no operating history. Consequently, none of the subsidiaries has generated
significant revenues as of the date hereof. In addition, there can be no
assurance that any of the Company's subsidiaries will achieve significant sales
of its products or attain profitability.
Fawnsworth International Pictures Corporation, a Florida corporation
("FIPC"), was incorporated in October 1991 to engage in motion picture
production and distribution. FIPC currently owns fifteen intellectual

artwork) and "master paintings" (original watercolor paintings) for an
entertainment franchise entitled "The Nicholas Stories," a collection of three
children's books. An animated broadcast version of one of the books, "The Boy
with a Wish," was produced and in December 1996 was broadcast regionally on a
local cable and television station in the Tampa Bay, Florida region. Zweig is
64.3% owned. Larry Faw, Harry Knights, Genevieve Faw, Vincent Neville, Charles

of children's programming. In 1995, ICT Net's literary property entitled
"Willie's Adventures" was published as a weekly serial in Knight-Ridder
newspapers as a children's travel and adventure weekly feature. ICT Net is 99.9%
owned; an unrelated person beneficially owns less than 1%.
Quagga Entertainment Corporation ("Quagga"), incorporated in Florida in
March 1995, was formed to engage in the exploitation of motion picture and
television properties. Quagga completed its first production video: "Zoo Toonz
Volume I," a children's television pilot project narrated by two puppet
characters. The pilot was premiered at the National Association of Program and
Television Executives convention in Las Vegas, Nevada during January 1996.
Subsequently, a second generation of Zoo Toonz has been produced for Volume I
and five additional volumes are currently in post production. In addition, a
third generation of Zoo Toonz is being developed into a television pilot and 25
episodes of a new children's educational television series. Quagga is 94.95%
owned; Larry Faw, Genevieve Faw, Vincent Neville, directors and executive
officers of the Company, and a private investor each own 1.25% and two unrelated
investors each beneficially own less than 1%.
Studio City Amusements, Inc., incorporated in Florida in November 1994,
owns two theatrical musical productions and was formed to develop and manage

property which provide continuous cash flows and revenue streams).
Non-Existent Major League Fantasy Sports Association, Incorporated was
incorporated in Florida in November 1994 to develop a series of interactive
radio and television fantasy sporting events. It owns "The 1994 Fan's Choice

baseball world series, the first in a series of radio and television fantasy
sporting events.
Accinemetron Releasing Corporation ("Accinemetron"), incorporated in
Florida in March 1995, was formed to coordinate the distribution of various

10
<PAGE> 13
Xenomorph Digital Post, Inc. ("Xenomorph"), was incorporated in Florida in
June 1996 to be a digital broadcast and video post production center and on-line
producer of television programming. Xenomorph entered into a lease purchase
agreement to purchase an Avid Media 1000 digital nonlinear editing system and
has expanded its post production capabilities by purchasing television broadcast
production and post production equipment for a total purchase price of $348,400.
Pro-Sports Entertainment Group, Inc. was incorporated in November 1996 to
be a motion picture and television production group to produce entertainment
products focused on minority role models.
Zingrr N-2Aktiv Television Network, Inc. ("Zingrr") was incorporated in
November 1994 to serve as a partner in development, creation, maintenance and
programming of FCC licensed wireless cable stations and systems.
DISTRIBUTION
Distribution of Films. If and when produced, the Company will seek
distribution of its proposed films either to theaters or as original television
movies. These could be marketed to the networks, HBO, Showtime or for similar
movie channel distribution, or for syndicated distribution to independents. Once
a pilot has been produced, the Company will attempt to market to the networks or
through syndication to independents.
The Company currently does not have a pre-production distribution agreement
in place for any of its products and cannot offer any assurance that a
distribution agreement can be obtained or if obtained that such agreement will
be profitable. It is difficult for a small independent producer to market a
product to the networks or for independent syndication. The success of such a
marketing effort is dependent upon many factors including (a) the quality of the
product, (b) the fit of the product to the network or syndicate's other program
mix and selection criteria, (c) perceived public trends, (d) the reputation of
the producers, and (e) in part, the individual producer's interpersonal
relationships within the industry.
Although management believes favorable distribution agreements can be
obtained, the lack of a preproduction agreement substantially increases the risk
to these projects and to the inventors.
Distribution of Literary Properties. The Company intends to seek
distribution of its literary properties through two of its subsidiaries, Zweig
and Accinematron, by direct sales, televised infomercials and special events.
The Company intends to seek to finance operations through a combination of
funding sources, including borrowings from management and principal shareholders
and public and private securities offerings. There are no present agreements,
contracts, understandings or other arrangements for such necessary financing.
TRADEMARKS
The Company's rights to characters are principal assets of the Company.
Although used in interstate commerce, such proprietary information is not
subject to any trademark, service mark or similar registration or protection at
this time. There can be no assurance that any such application, if and when
filed, will be approved, or that the Company will have the financial and other
resources necessary to enforce its proprietary rights against infringement by
others. The inability of the Company to obtain adequate protection of, or to
enforce, its proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
ROYALTY AGREEMENTS
Under certain royalty agreements with various unaffiliated individuals, the
Company is obligated to make contingent payments, royalties and profit
participation payments ranging from 1% to 10% of the gross net profits.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
The Company is represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers in its Collective Bargaining Agreement under the auspice of the
National Labor Relations Board, which includes Signatory status with various
Unions and Guilds. The Collective Bargaining Agreement requires that the Company
meet negotiated requirements to the various Unions and Guilds, when applicable,
and maintain a minimum cost
11
<PAGE> 14
from service contracts for various Union and Guild members. These costs are
carried over into future production and pass-through to any purchaser. These
costs and obligations are considered to be perpetual.
COMPETITION
The entertainment business in general, and the film and television
entertainment industry in particular, is undergoing significant changes.
Alternative forms of filmed entertainment have become available, including
expanded pay and basic cable television, pay-per-view programming, and home
entertainment equipment. Given technological developments and shifting consumer
tastes, it is difficult to predict what effect these changes will have on the
potential overall revenue for feature-length motion pictures. Management
believes however that these changes within the television industry will create
an increased demand for new products and, in this respect, these trends are
favorable to the Company.
Competition in the film industry. There is substantial competition in the
industry for a limited number of producers, directors, actors and properties
which are able to attract major distribution in all media and all markets
throughout the world. The motion picture business is highly competitive and
extremely high profile in terms of name recognition, with relatively
insignificant barriers to entry and with numerous firms competing for the same
directors, producers, actors/actresses, distributors and theaters, among other
items. There is intense competition within the film industry for exhibition
times at theaters, as well as for distribution in other media, and for the
attention of the movie-going public and other viewing audiences. Competition for
distribution in other media is intense.
Each of its subsidiaries is in the development stage with a limited or no
operating history. Consequently, none of the subsidiaries has generated revenues
as of the date hereof. In addition, there can be no assurance that any of the
Company's subsidiaries will achieve significant sales of product or attain
profitability.
FAW PURCHASE AGREEMENT
In February 1993, Studio City-Florida entered into an agreement to acquire
direct ownership of various intellectual properties having an estimated value of
$7,226,000, including 72 motion picture properties, four television pilot
properties, 48 books for publication, four inventions, one franchise program and
one specialty product design and marketing program in exchange for a promissory
note payable in the amount of $1,554,027 (the "Faw Note") payable to Larry D.
Faw, the President and Chairman of the Board of the Company, and warrants to
purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida exercisable at
$1.00 per share until February 16, 2003. The principal amount was due and
payable on February 16, 1995, with interest at the annual rate of 2%. Since
maturity, when the Company was unable to pay the Faw Note, it has been extended
for consecutive six month terms at an annual interest rate of 9%. Since 1993,
the Company has paid $130,000 interest on the Faw Note and accrued interest
payable to Mr. Faw at July 1, 1998 was $360,449. In addition, Mr. Faw received
1,000,000 shares of Class Preferred B Stock. See "Description of Securities" and
"Certain Transactions." The Faw Note is a demand obligation, but there is no
schedule for repayment of principal or interest.
The purchase price of the intangible assets was determined by reference to
industry standards as detailed in the National Labor Relations Board's
Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Alliance of Motion Picture and
Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America which reflects the minimum
replacement costs and pass through financial obligations to industry-wide motion
picture and television producers and purchasers of intellectual properties. The
industry standards referred to in that agreement may have no relationship to
commercial, economic or fair market value of the intangible assets. See
"Collective Bargaining Agreement."
EMPLOYEES
At June 1, 1998, the Company had two full-time employees. The Company has
never experienced a work stoppage or interruption due to a labor dispute. In
1998, employment agreements, which expire on April 8, 2000 unless renewed, were
negotiated and completed with the following persons to serve in the following
positions: Larry D. Faw, Chairman of the Board and President; Vincent J.
Neville, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Genevieve H. Faw, Director
and Senior Vice President; Andrew C. Rigrod, Chief Operations Officer; Walter
Johnson Williams, Chief Financial Officer;; Harry B. Knights, Senior Vice
12
<PAGE> 15
President-Operations; Charles H. Flood, Senior Vice President-Sales; Wallis M.
Spence, Senior Vice President-Financial Marketing; James W. Courchaine, Senior
Vice President-Logistics; and John A. Churchill, Jr., Controller. See
"Management" and "Employment Agreements."
The Company expects to retain additional employees in the areas of
production and post production as permitted by its financial condition and
required by its business. Most screenwriters, performers, directors and
technical personnel who will be involved in the Company's films are members of
guilds or unions which bargain collectively with producers on an industry-wide
basis from time to time.
REAL PROPERTIES
The Company currently leases approximately 410 square feet for its
executive offices, at 14400 Southwest 46th Court, Ocala, Florida, for $400 per
month on a month-to-month basis from Larry D. Faw, the Chairman of the Board and
President. The Company believes that the terms of such leasing arrangement are
no less favorable to the Company than those that could have been obtained from
an independent third party.
The Company also leases approximately 1700 square feet at $675 per month
for its studio located at 4716 North Lois Avenue, Tampa, Florida. The one-year
lease expires April 30, 1999.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As a multimedia holding company in the entertainment industry, the Company
is often required to defend its rights and license for intellectual properties
that it either owns or serves as a joint venture partner. Currently, the Company
and its subsidiary, Poc-It Comics, Incorporated, are defending their rights in
the production and distribution of an entertainment franchise based on a comic
book story entitled "Shadow Raven." The principals are currently attempting to
resolve the issues in negotiation.
The Company and its subsidiary, Quaggga Entertainment Corporation, are
defending a challenge to the companies' rights associated with a joint venture
to create, produce, distribute and exploit an intellectual property entitled
"Zoo Toonz," a joint venture where the timeliness of the creation of finished
products are in question. Litigation is pending in this matter, and it has been
determined that the production will be completed without the assistance of the
joint venture partner, and the Company and its financial partners will seek to
recoup all of their investment.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Studio City-Florida was a development stage multimedia company incorporated
in 1991 to engage in asset development, business management, production and
post-production studio operation, motion picture studio operation, tourist
attraction operation, the development of motion pictures for theatrical
exhibition, for television and home video, and in the development, production
and distribution of printed publications. At the time of the merger with CVT
Corp. of America, Studio City-Florida owned a large number of intellectual
properties and a partial interest in other intellectual properties, but had not
generated significant revenues. The Company was incorporated in New York under
the name "CVT Corp. of America" ("CVT") in March 1984 and, until 1993, was
engaged in limited sales, manufacturing and marketing operations of continuous
variable speed transmissions. Unable to finance the research and development
necessary to continue operation, CVT ceased operations in 1993. On June 28,
1996, CVT changed its name to "Studio City Holding Corporation" and, effective
July 1, 1996, merged with Studio City-Florida, a development stage media holding
company.
The Company is a development stage media holding company specializing in
the creation of "entertainment franchises" and the development of its fifteen
wholly-owned or majority-owned media subsidiaries. Except for certain limited
operations, the Company's activities to date primarily have consisted of raising
capital, obtaining financing, acquiring intellectual properties, and
administrative activities relating to the foregoing.
Each of its subsidiaries is in the development stage with a limited or no
operating history. Consequently, the subsidiaries have generated limited or no
revenues as of the date hereof. In addition, there can be no assurance that any
of the Company's subsidiaries will achieve significant sales of its products or
attain profitability.
13
<PAGE> 16
During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, and the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, the Company had net losses of $316,578,
$558,221, $540,455 and $342,205, respectively. The interim financial statements
of the Company as of September 30, 1998 are unaudited and include all
adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary in order to make
such financial statements not misleading. At December 31, 1997, the cumulative
deficit since inception was $1,942,162, reflecting the cost of development and
other start-up activities without significant offsetting revenues. The Company's
business is capital intensive and it expects to continue to incur significant
losses in the future.
Depending upon the availability of necessary financing, of which there can
be no assurance, the Company's plan of operation for the next 12 months includes
release by Zweig of "The First Flight of St. Nicholas," the second book of "The
Nicholas Stories" trilogy, before December 31, 1998, and publication of "The
Maiden Voyage of Kris Kringle, the third book of the trilogy, during the fourth
quarter of 1999; publication by PPI of a second comic book series during 1999;
participation by FIPC as a strategic partner in one Hollywood-based motion
picture production during 1999; and technical production by Xenormorph of a
children's video series during 1999.
The Company's proposed business, including both expansion of its current
limited operations and its proposed activities, requires substantial additional
equity or debt financing, which may not be available in a timely manner, on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The Company will have to raise funds
to satisfy its cash requirements in the next 12 months. As of the date hereof,
the Company has no agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person for
the necessary financing. Therefore, the Company anticipates that it will
continue to meet its cash requirements by the private sale of securities, as
well as advances from management, the main source of liquidity in the past.
There are no plans to purchase significant equipment, nor are any significant
changes in the number of employees expected.
Year 2000. Because many computer and computer applications define date by
the last two digits of the year, "00" may not be properly identified as the year
2000. This error could result in miscalculations or systems failure in computer
systems, network elements, software applications and other business systems that
have time sensitive programs. Management does not anticipate that the so-called
Year 2000 issue will have a significant impact on its business or require a
significant commitment of resources to resolve potential problems associated
with this issue.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be unaffected by
the Year 2000 issue affecting its customers or suppliers, but the Company does
not believe the Year 2000 readiness of its customers or suppliers will have a
material impact on the Company's business or financial statements.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
The Certificate of Amendment and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and
the By-Laws of the Company, as amended, provide that the Company shall indemnify
its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the Business
Corporation Law of the State of New York.
Reference is hereby made to Section 402(b) of the Business Corporation Law
of the State of New York relating to the indemnification of officers and
directors, which Section is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or others pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
In March 1993, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved in
principle an Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") for full time
employees including executive officers. Under the Plan, the Company would issue
options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, exercisable at the
current market value (110% of current market value only to 10% or greater
stockholders) up to $100,000 annually. The Plan would terminate on March 1,
2001, unless renewed.
Under the Plan, any officer or director owning 10% of the voting plan of
the Company would be restricted from exercising his/her options to three years
after the receipt of such Grant. Additional provisions would be as follows: (1)
options terminated or expired, revert back to the Plan, (2) unpurchased option
shares remain in the Plan, (3) options are exercisable by the optionee or
his/her estate, (4) options are not transferable, and, (5) carryover amounts
from one year to the next year cannot exceed 50% of the Plan. The Company will
reserve 500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. The Plan has
not been implemented and no options have been granted under the Plan.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
FAW PURCHASE AGREEMENT
In February 1993, Studio City-Florida entered into an agreement with Larry
D. Faw, Chairman of the Board of Directors and President, to acquire direct
ownership of various intellectual properties having an estimated value of
$7,226,000, including 72 motion picture properties, four television pilot
properties, 48 books for publication, four inventions, one franchise program and
one specialty product design and marketing program, in exchange for a promissory
note payable in the amount of $1,554,027 and warrants to purchase 5,000,000
shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida exercisable at $1.00 per share
until February 16, 2003. The principal amount was due and payable on February
16, 1995, with interest at the annual rate of 2%. Since maturity, when the
Company was unable to pay the Faw Note, it has been extended for consecutive six
month terms at an annual interest rate of 9%. Since 1993, the Company has paid
$130,000 in interest on the Faw Note and accrued interest payable to Mr. Faw at
September 30, 1998 was $360,449. The Faw Note is a demand obligation, but there
is no schedule for repayment of principal or interest.
The purchase price of the intangible assets was determined by reference to
industry standards as detailed in the National Labor Relations Board's
Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Alliance of Motion Picture and
Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America which reflects the minimum
replacement costs and pass through financial obligations to industry-wide motion
picture and television producers and purchasers of intellectual properties. The
industry standards referred to in that agreement may have no relationship to
commercial, economic or fair market value of the intangible assets. See
"Collective Bargaining Agreement."
Effective July 1, 1996, Studio City-Florida merged with and into the
Company, pursuant to the Plan of Merger. Pursuant to the Plan of Merger (i)
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Larry D. Faw
were converted into 10,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock,
(ii) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Mr. Faw
were converted into
17
<PAGE> 20
1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock, (iii) warrants to
purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida were converted
into warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, and
(iv) each of the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of
Studio City-Florida were converted into one share of the Company's Common Stock.
In addition, Mr. Faw received 1,000,000 shares of Class Preferred B Stock in

certain directors and executive officers in subsidiaries of the Company.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The name of each Selling Security Holder, any position or office held with
the Company and the amount of securities owned before the offering and after the
offering is complete are set forth in Appendix A. The percentages of the classes
before the offering is less than one percent for all Selling Security Holders
except as indicated under "Principal Shareholders," and the percentages of the
classes after the offering is complete is zero (-0-) for all Selling Security
Holders, assuming all securities offered are sold.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of this Offering, there will continue to be outstanding
31,282,001 shares of Common Stock (including 3,800,000 treasury shares) and
3,825,834 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. Such shares of Common Stock and
Class B Preferred offered hereby will be freely tradable in the public market
without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). There is no public trading market for such shares at present
and there can be no assurance that such a market will develop in the future. No
prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares, or
the availability of shares for future sale, will have on the market price of the
Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of
Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could
occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock. If
such sales reduce the market price of the Common Stock, the Company's ability to
raise additional capital in the equity markets also could be adversely affected.

Company by Gerald Weinberg, P.C., Albany, New York.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Studio City Holding Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Studio City
Holding Corporation (a New York corporation) (a development stage company) and
subsidiaries (development stage companies) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1991 through 1997
(inception through December 31, 1997). These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Studio City Holding Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1991 through 1997 (inception through December 31, 1997) in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

STUDIO CITY HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 21, 1991 (INCEPTION) THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Background Information
STUDIO CITY INCORPORATED HOLDING (the Company) was incorporated in the
State of Florida on October 25, 1991 as Studio City Incorporated. Prior to
incorporation, pre-incorporation operations commenced in February of 1991. The
Company is engaged in asset development, business management, production and
post-production studio operation, motion picture studio operation, tourist
attraction operation, the development of motion pictures for theatrical
exhibition, for television (i.e. network, cable, pay-per-view, etc.) and home
video, and in the development, production, and distribution of printed
publications. The Company owns a significant number of intellectual properties
and has a partial interest in other intellectual properties.
FAWNSWORTH INTERNATIONAL PICTURES CORPORATION (FIPC) was incorporated in
the State of Florida on October 21, 1991. Prior to incorporation,
pre-incorporation operations commenced in February of 1991. FIPC is a full
service motion picture and television production and distribution company. As a
result of the stockholders of FIPC receiving 491,150 shares of common stock of
Studio City with a par value of $1.00 in exchange for their ownership in the
shares of FIPC, FIPC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on October
18, 1992. The Company owns 100% of the voting stock of FIPC.
Prior to the stock exchange and transfer, the stockholders of Studio City
Incorporated voted unanimously to increase the amount of common stock authorized
from 1,000,000 shares to 1,500,000 to accommodate the exchange with FIPC
stockholders. The end result was that Studio City, Incorporated became the
parent company of FIPC (a wholly owned subsidiary) with both companies being
developmental stage companies. In a unanimous vote of the stockholders of the
Company, it was voted to change the name of the Company to Studio City
Incorporated Holding, which also operated under the name SCI Holding.
In a unanimous vote of its stockholders, the Company was instructed to
execute a stock split to fully dilute the stock of the Company. The 100 to 1
stock split was executed on March 1, 1993. On that date, the total authorized
common stock of 150,000,000 shares includes all of the stock authorized
including 500,000 shares reserved under the Company's Employee Incentive Stock
Option Plan. The common stock of the Company originally had a par value of $1.00
per share and was amended to $.01 per share at the time of the stock split.
Subsequent to the stock split, the par value has again been amended to reflect
the par value at $.0001 per share, and this is the par value per share for each
of the subsidiaries subsequently formed.
Realizing the necessity for expansion, the Company created another
subsidiary, POC-IT PUBLISHERS, INCORPORATED (Poc-It). Poc-It was incorporated in
the State of Florida on May 3, 1993. The Company owns 100% of the voting stock.
This subsidiary was created to assemble, acquire, produce and publish various
literary properties owned by Studio City Incorporated Holding.
On December 14, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
77.5% of CVT CORPORATION OF AMERICA (CVT), an inactive New York based public
company. The cost of the stock was $12,000 plus the Company assumed certain
debts. The purpose of this acquisition was as follows: (i) to reactivate the
operations of CVT after a subsequent reorganization, (ii) prepare CVT for a
merger, (iii) merge the Company into CVT, thus becoming Studio City Holding
Corporation, a New York public company, (iv) prepare the merged entity for SEC
and NASD registration, and (v) prepare the merged entity for a Secondary
Offering.
The Company and its subsidiaries are in the developmental stage and have
not generated significant revenues. In addition, the development of commercial
products using the Company's proprietary technology and inventory of
intellectual properties have not been completed and will require significant
additional

Offering Costs: As discussed in Note 16, Quagga incurred specific
incremental costs in connection with a proposed Securities Act of 1993
Regulation D-504 offering. These offering costs will be charged against the
offering proceeds.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share: Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted Earnings
(Loss) Per Share is computed the same as Basic but also giving effect to all
dilutive potential common shares such as options, warrants and convertible
preferred stock. However, the computation of Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
does not assume conversion of any potential common shares if that has an
antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Since there is a loss from
operations, Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share is computed the same as Basic
Earnings (Loss) Per Share. This is computed by dividing the net loss by weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Earnings (Loss)
Per Share are as follows:

Purchase Agreement. These warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share at a
maximum of 25% per year beginning the first anniversary of the effective date of
the grant and continues until one of the following occurs: (i) to the year 2003,
or, (ii) when all warrants have been exercised, or, (iii) all rights to such
warrants have been terminated in a mutually agreed upon written agreement.
The Purchase Agreement additionally provided for the requirement that 51%
of the Company's preferred stock be issued to Larry D. Faw. The amount of
preferred stock was later decreased to 1,000,000 shares of redeemable
convertible and callable preferred B stock, with each share of preferred stock
being entitled to noncumulative dividends at 6% annual rate upon declaration of
the Board of Directors.
The preferred stock was recorded in the amount of $671,973, which was the
purchase price of the assets less the amount attributed to the promissory demand
note and the common stock warrants.
The Company, as part of the Purchase Agreement issued 1,000,000 shares of
its preferred B stock on February 15, 1995. The preferred stock can be converted
to common stock at market price, or, callable at any time by the Company at a
fixed price of $50 per share for preferred B stock and $105 per share for
preferred A stock, or in parts, on or after February 16, 1996, and will be
redeemable and/or callable until February 16, 2006.
In summary, the Purchase Agreement includes the $1,554,027 promissory
demand note, the $5,000,000 common stock warrants and $671,973 value of
preferred stock for a total price of $7,226,000. Management believes this
Purchase Agreement was at a significant discount which is evidenced by the
Independent Valuation as discussed below in Note 3.
Pre-existing Rights: Ownership of certain literary properties were
transferred from the Company to its subsidiaries in 1993. Properties with a
value of $600,000 were transferred to Fawnsworth International Pictures
Corporation, increasing the intangible asset value from $400,000 to $1,000,000
(note: properties were purchased in 1993 for $100, increasing intangible assets
to $1,000,100) and increasing its additional paid-in capital from $433,880 to
$1,033,880. Properties with a value of $1,200,000 were transferred to Poc-It
Publishers, Incorporated in exchange for its common stock. After these
transfers, the Company's intangible assets were $5,026,000. Incidental costs
have subsequently been incurred increasing the asset costs.
The purchase price of the intangible assets acquired from the majority
stockholder, Larry D. Faw, was determined by Industry Standards (i.e. Union
Minimums as detailed in the Writers Guild of America 1992 Minimum Basic
Agreement as collectively bargained with the Alliance of Motion Picture and
Television Producers, Producers Guild of America, Directors Guild of America,
and all other signatory union business franchise valuation methods, and other
similar industry standards for product and merchandise development).
Independent Valuation: In 1995, the Company engaged a major U.S.
investment banking firm to conduct an analysis of the Companies' intellectual
properties as an independent third party consultant. This Independent Valuation
was in direct response as a requirement of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Chief Accounting Office. This Independent Valuation was prepared as
a Preliminary Valuation prior to a public offering and was created as an
internal document, which due to its sensitive contents, has been made available
to the Securities and Exchange Commission as a confidential sealed document. The
Preliminary Independent Valuation was prepared through the following:
(1) Independent Research: (a) the investment banker's Research Analysts
Reports, (b) Standard & Poor's Industry Surveys, (c) Mergers and Acquisitions
from Securities Data Corporation, and, (d) financial reports from publicly
traded media holding companies and motion picture/television production
companies.

properties which were optioned were "The Wraiths of Time" and "A New Property
Adaptation From The Screenplay of The Wraiths of Time". The option still exists,
however, original funding was to be realized from the public offering of Quagga
Entertainment Corporation's D-504, which expired. Publishing Corporation, has

NOTE 15 -- RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES
The Company's leasing operations consist principally of the leasing of
broadcast television equipment, various computer, video and sound equipment
under operating leases that expire over the next three to five years. Due to a
cross default by a joint venture partner, a portion of the equipment under two
of the leases was reposessed by the lessor for late payment (see note 18
regarding "Zoo Toonz"). The Company has continued making monthly payments on all
lease obligations and expects to satisfy all obligations and obtain full use of
all equipment under lease.
The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental payments
required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable

NOTE 16 -- CHANGING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From September 1995 to September 1996 Studio City Incorporated Holding
entered into a "First Right of Refusal/Space Lease Agreement" with The Walt
Disney Company on product produced on the Disney-MGM Studios by Studio City. The
Company entered into a one year space lease/first right of refusal/production
agreement to expend a minimum of $1,200,000 at the studio for its projects. The
Company entered into this agreement with Disney based on an agreement with a New
York investment banker taking a contractual (dated August 28, 1995) equity
position of $1,200,000 in Quagga Entertainment Corporation, the production arm
which was located with the Company at Disney/MGM Studios. Quagga Entertainment
Corporation was to achieve total capitalization in 1996 of $8,500,000 based on a
registered public offering in Connecticut. The Company was also qualified to
sell the offering in the state of New York as a registered broker/dealer. The
Company was represented by an investment banker/consultant in Connecticut, who
contractually committed to raising Quagga's capital needs through a registered
D-504 offering. Also, the Company had the option to create and market a "red
herring" D-506 private placement. The Company chose "Shadow Raven", a low-budget
feature motion picture, to be the first project. However, due to expanded costs
associated with the contingent joint venture production partners, the project
was postponed until sufficient capitalization was realized. Quagga's D-504
offering was registered in Connecticut on April 12, 1996. The investment banker
was to commence the financial marketing of the offering, but failed to do so.
The New York equity investor could not meet the contractual commitment. As a
result, the D-504 offering expired on April 12, 1997 and the "red herring" D-506
was withdrawn as a viable funding plan. With the lack of alternative financing
available to the Company, the contract with Walt Disney Company expired on
September 15, 1996 along with the contingent joint venture production
partnerships.
In April 1997, the Company expanded its operations by relocating to Tampa,
Florida into a facility which provides a small soundstage, office operations,
and edit suite. This new organization of its operations in Tampa is anticipated
to increase revenue production, while providing low costs to the Company for its
own projects.

NOTE 17 -- MERGER
On June 29, 1996, CVT Corporation of America restated and amended its
articles of incorporation to allow for a name change, the creation of Class A
and B Preferred Stock, the reorganization of operations, and limiting the
liability of its Directors and Officers. CVT Corporation changed its name to
Studio City Holding Corporation (a New York Corporation). 10,000,000 shares of
Class A Preferred Stock with special voting powers were created and 25,000,000
shares of Class B Preferred Stock with preferential dividends and various rights
were created. The Company adopted a new set of By-Laws which streamlined its
operations as a public company and adopted a set of procedures which limited the
liability of its Directors and Officers.
On July 1, 1996, Studio City Incorporated Holding (a Florida Corporation)
and its subsidiaries merged with and into Studio City Holding Corporation (a New
York Corporation) in a statutory merger. The merger transaction was executed in
a "like kind" stock exchange, share for share of common stock of Studio City
Incorporated Holding for common stock of Studio City Holding Corporation. On
October 24, 1996, Studio City Incorporated Holding was dissolved, with the
surviving entity being Studio City Holding Corporation. All of the assets and
liabilities of Studio City Incorporated Holding and its subsidiaries were merged
with and into Studio City Holding Corporation.
As per the Merger Agreement, Larry D. Faw, principal stockholder of Studio
City Incorporated Holding, was required to convert 100,000,000 shares of voting
common stock of Studio City Incorporated Holding into 10,000,000 shares of
Studio City Holding Corporation Class A Preferred Stock and was also required to
convert 10,000,000 shares of common stock into 1,000,000 shares of Class B
Preferred Stock.
On October 29, 1997, the Company called for a name change and exchange of
shares from both former CVT stockholders and Studio City Incorporated Holding
stockholders. This exchange was executed in a "like-kind" share for share
exchange. Additionally, all of the stockholders in the Merged Entity had the
option to convert any, all, or none of their shares of common stock into Class B
Preferred Stock at a ratio of 10 shares of common for 1 share of Class B
Preferred Stock.
NOTE 18 -- PENDING LITIGATION
When the merger occurred, there were no significant changes in the
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Studio City Holding Corporation
and its subsidiaries continued its operations as the merged entity.
The Company being an entertainment company is often required to defend its
rights and licenses for intellectual properties that the Company either owns or
serves as a joint venture partner. This type of litigation is common in the
entertainment industry, and considering that the Company owns numerous
intellectual properties and owns various types of licenses and joint
participations in intellectual properties, it can safely be assumed that the
Company will be required to defend its rights, presently and in the future.
Currently, the Company and its subsidiary, Poc-It Comics, Incorporated, are
defending their rights in the production and distribution of an entertainment
franchise based on a comic book story entitled "Shadow Raven". The principals
are currently attempting to resolve their issues in negotiation.
Secondly, the Company and its subsidiary, Quagga Entertainment Corporation,
are defending a challenge to the Companies' rights associated with a joint
venture to create, produce, distribute and exploit an intellectual property
entitled "Zoo Toonz", a joint venture where the timeliness of the creation of
finished products are in question. Litigation is pending in this matter, and, it
has been determined that the products will be completed without the assistance
of the joint venture partner. The Company and its financial partners will seek
to recoup all of its investment.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
The following sets forth certain information regarding sales of, and other
transactions with respect to, securities of the Company issued within the past
three years, which sales and other transactions were not registered pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
During 1998 (through October 28, 1998), the Company sold shares of Common
Stock to 15 individuals, 5 of whom were shareholders, for aggregate
consideration of $87,500.
During 1997, the Company sold 85,622 shares of Common Stock to 49
individuals who were either existing stockholders, or, business associates or
friends or relatives of affiliates, at $5.00 per share for net proceeds to the
Company of $428,110. Also during 1997, 69,429 Units were issued to 4 individuals
as compensation for services rendered. During 1996, 1,917 shares of Common Stock
were issued to an individual for services rendered, 17,500 Units were issued to
another individual as compensation for services rendered and 2,000 Units were
issued to another individual in repayment of a loan of $ 8,371. No commissions
or fees were paid in these transactions. Each Unit consisted of one share of
Common Stock and one Common Stock Purchase Warrant. Each Common Stock Purchase
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $3.00 and is exercisable until December 31, 1999. See "Description of
Securities -- Warrants."
During 1996, the Company sold shares of Common Stock to 34 individuals, 17
of whom were shareholders, for aggregate consideration of $599,596.
II-1
<PAGE> 63
In May 1996, the Company paid consulting fees of $600 to Harry B. Knights,
Senior Vice President, to create a financial marketing plan for Zweig Knights
Publishing Corporation, a majority owned subsidiary; in connection with this
plan 1,000 shares of Common Stock were sold to an individual at $5 per share; no
commissions or fees were paid.
The foregoing securities were issued without registration in reliance upon
exemptions the Company believed available at the time of issuance, including
those afforded by Section 4(2) or Rules 505 or 506 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act, based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of the
securities was to a limited number of persons; (ii) such persons were given
access to all available financial and other information, (iii) such persons were
sophisticated and experienced investors, (iv) such persons represented that they
were acquiring the securities for investment and not with a view to
distribution; and (v) the certificates evidencing the securities bore
appropriate restrictive transfer legends.
Effective July 1, 1996, Studio City-Florida merged with and into the
Company, pursuant to the Plan of Merger. Pursuant to the Plan of Merger (i)
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Larry D. Faw,
the President and Chairman of the Board of the Company, were converted into
10,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock, (ii) 10,000,000
shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Mr. Faw were converted
into 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock, (iii) 1,000,000
shares of the Class B Preferred Stock of Studio City-Florida held by Mr. Faw
were converted into 1,000,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock of the Company,
(iv) warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Studio
City-Florida were converted into warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Company, and (v) each of the remaining issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock of Studio City-Florida were converted into one share of
the Company's Common Stock. These securities were issued without compliance with
the registration requirements of the federal securities laws or any state
securities laws, in reliance upon exemptions therefrom the Company believed to
be available therefor, including Section 4(2) and Rules 505 and 506 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.
THE EXEMPTIONS RELIED UPON BY THE COMPANY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE AND
THE COMPANY IS EFFECTING THE REGISTRATION OF ALL ITS ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING
SECURITIES IN THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sales securities,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the Registration Statement;
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Act, to treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
bona fide offering.
(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) For determining any liability under the Act, to treat the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form
of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or
497(h) under the Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time
the Commission declared it effective.
(2) For determining any liability under the Act, to treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration
statement, and the offering of the securities at that time as the initial
bona fide offering of those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the governing instruments of the Company or
Section 402(b) of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

shareholders for the election of directors shall be called in the manner
provided here for special meetings, or as may otherwise be provided by law.
(BCL Statute 602.) (This and other references to the New York Business
Corporation Law are not part of the bylaws, but are included solely for the
convenience in locating relevant portions of the statute).

then in office or by the Chief Executive Officer or President, or by the holders
of a majority of the shares then outstanding and entitled to vote in the
election of any directors. (BCL Statute 602(c).)
Section 2.3 Notice of Meetings. Notice of all meetings of shareholders
shall be in writing and shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and
such other matters as may be required by law. Notice of any special meeting
shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and

of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed,
such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, with

incorporation, be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of
shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. Any

the shareholders may authorize another person to act for the shareholder by
proxy. Every proxy must be in writing and signed by the shareholder or the
shareholder's attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of
11 months from its date, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Each proxy
shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except that

from such list to be shareholders entitled to vote may vote at such meeting.
(BCL Statute 607.)
Section 2.7 Waiver of Notice. Notice of a shareholders' meeting need not
be given to any shareholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, in person or
by proxy, whether before or after the meeting. The attendance of any shareholder

of the meeting the lack of notice of such meeting, shall constitute a waiver of
notice by the shareholder. (BCL Statute 606.)
Section 2.8 Inspectors at Shareholders' Meetings. The Board, in advance
of any shareholders' meeting, may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the

shall be fixed and may be increased or decreased from time to time by a
majority of the entire Board. Directors need not be shareholders. If the Board

of the Board from among its members to preside at its meetings. (BCL Statutes
701,702,703,705.)
Section 3.2 Regular Meetings. There shall be regular meetings of the
Board, which may be held on such dates and without notice or upon such notice as

other place either within or without the State of New York and at such specific
time as may be fixed by the Board from time to time. There shall also be a
regular meeting of the Board, which may be held without notice or upon such

prior to the time fixed for such meeting, or by mailing notice, prepaid,
addressed to the directors post office address, as it appears on the books of

4
<PAGE> 5
such meeting. Neither the call or notice nor any waiver of notice need specify
the purpose of any meeting of the Board. (BCL Statutes 710, 711.)
Section 3.4 Waiver of Notice. Notice of a meeting need not be given to
any director who signs a waiver of notice whether before or after the meeting,
or who attends the meeting without protesting prior to attending, or at its
commencement, the lack of notice to the director. (BCL Statute 711(c).)
Section 3.5 Quorum and Voting. One-third of the entire Board shall
constitute a quorum. A majority of the directors present, whether or not a
quorum is present, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place. Notice of
any adjournment and, unless the time and place of such adjournment are announced
at the meeting to the other directors. The vote of a majority of the directors
present at the time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such time, shall be
the act of the Board, except where a larger vote is required by law, the
certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. (BCL Statutes 707,708, 711(d).)
Section 3.6 Action by the Board. Any reference in these bylaws to
corporate action to be taken by the Board shall mean such action at a meeting of
the Board. However, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board or
any committee may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or
committee consent in writing to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the
action. The resolution and the written consent to that action by the members of
the Board or committee shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the
Board or committee. Any one or more members of the Board or any committee of the
Board may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of a
conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons
participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation
by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. (BCL Statute
708.)
Section 3.7 Committees of the Board. The Board by resolution adopted by a
majority of the entire Board may designate from among its members one or more
committees, each consisting of three or more directors. Each such committee
shall have all the authority of the Board to the extent provided in such
resolution, except as limited by law. No such committee shall exercise its
authority in a manner inconsistent with any action, direction, or instruction of
the Board.
5
<PAGE> 6
The Board may appoint a Chairman of any committee (except for the
Executive Committee, if one is established, in the case where the Chairman of
the Executive Committee has been elected pursuant to Section 4.1 of these
bylaws), who shall preside at meetings of their respective committees. The
Board may fill any vacancy in any committee and may designate one or more
directors as alternate members of such committee, who may replace any absent
member or members at any meeting of such committee. Each such committee shall
serve at the pleasure of the Board, but in no event beyond its first meeting
following the annual meeting of the shareholders.
All acts done and powers conferred by any committee pursuant to the
foregoing authorization shall be deemed to be and may be certified as being done
or conferred under the authority of the Board. A record of the proceedings of
each committee shall be kept and submitted at the next regular meeting of the
Board.
At least one-third of the members of any committee shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the
members present at the time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such time,
shall be the act of the committee. If a committee or the Board shall establish
regular meetings of any committee, such meetings may be held without notice or
upon such notice as the committee may from time to time determine. Notice of
the time and place of special meetings of any committee shall be given to each
member of the committee in the same manner as in the case of special meetings
of the Board. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any member of a
committee who signs a waiver of notice whether before or after the meeting, or

commencement, the lack of notice to the member. Except as otherwise provided in
these bylaws, each committee shall adopt its own rules of procedure. (BCL
Statute 712.)

cause by action of the Board. (BCL Statute 706.)
ARTICLE IV

Section 4. 1 Officers. The Board shall elect a Chairman of the Board or
President or both, and a Secretary, a Treasurer and a comptroller and may elect
such other officers, including a Chairman of the Executive Committee and one or
more Vice-Chairmen of the Board, as the Board shall determine. Each officer
shall such powers and perform such duties as are provided in these bylaws and
as may be provided from time to time by the Board or by the Chief Executive
Officer. Each officer shall at all times be subject to the control of the
Board, and any power or duty assigned to an officer by these bylaws or the Board
or the Chief Executive Officer shall be subject to control, withdrawal or
limitation by the Board. (BCL Statute 715.)
Section 4.2 Qualifications. The Chairman of the Board, the President,
the Chairman of the Executive Committee and the Vice Chairman of the Board
shall be directors, but no other officer need be a director. Any person may hold

be Secretary or Treasurer. The Board may require any officer to give security
for the faithful performance of the officer's duties.
(BCL Statutes 715(e) and (f.)
Section 4.3 Election and Termination. The Board shall elect officers at
the meeting of the Board following the annual meeting of the shareholders and
may elect additional officers and fill vacancies at any other time. Unless the
Board shall otherwise specify, each officer shall hold office until the meeting
of the Board following the next annual meeting of the shareholders, and until
the officer's successor has been elected and qualifies, except as here after
provided. The Board may remove any officer or terminate such officer's powers,
at any time, with or without cause. Any officer may resign at any time by giving
written notice to the Chief Executive Officer, the President or to the Board,
or by retiring or by leaving the employ of the corporation (without being
employed by a subsidiary or affiliate) and any such action shall take effect as
a resignation without necessity of further
7
<PAGE> 8
action. The Chief Executive Officer or President may suspend any officer
until the next meeting of the Board. (BCL Statutes 715, 716.)
