                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
                                  THE COMPANY
 
    Odyssey Pictures Corporation ("Odyssey" or the "Company") was formed in
December 1989 as a holding company. At such time, the Company had no material
assets. In September 1990, Double Helix Films, Inc. ("Double Helix"), a producer
of low budget films, and Odyssey Entertainment Ltd. ("OEL"), an international
film distribution company, were merged with wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company (the "Mergers"). Subsequent to the Mergers, each of Double Helix and OEL
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In June 1991, the Company sold
Double Helix and thereafter began to focus on the distribution of motion
pictures in overseas markets as its primary business. The Company is committed
to expanding its activities in the foreign distribution of high quality motion
pictures and expects that the international distribution of films will continue
to be its primary line of business.
 
    The foreign distribution of films involves two principal activities--the
acquisition of rights from the licensor or the seller, usually the producer of
the film, and the licensing of the distribution rights to subdistributors in
foreign markets.
 
    The Company generally acquires its distribution rights from independent
producers of motion pictures, rather than from major motion picture studios
which generally have their own in-house distribution departments. Typically, the
rights obtained from the independent producer cover all overseas markets and
relate to all media, including theatrical release, video distribution, and all
forms of television including cable and satellite distributed media. The
distribution rights acquired by the Company generally break down into two broad
categories:
 
    - SALES AGENCY REPRESENTATION. As a sales agent, the Company typically
      undertakes to represent and license a motion picture in all markets and
      media on a best-efforts basis, with no guarantees or advances, for a fee
      usually ranging from 15-20% of the licensing revenues, and typically for a
      term ranging from seven to fifteen years.
 
    - DISTRIBUTION. As a distributor, the Company may provide the producer of
      the film with a guarantee of a portion of the budget of the project. This
      guarantee may be in the form of a bank commitment to the producer, secured
      by license agreements with foreign licensees, which is used by the
      producer to finance the production. Typically, the Company receives a
      distribution fee of 25-35% over a term ranging from 15 years to
      perpetuity. In addition, the Company may acquire a profit participation in
      the film project.
 
    The Company's management seeks to identify attractive projects very early in
their development, either through relationships with producers, directors and
agents or through industry announcements of new productions. In addition, the
Company's acquisitions personnel attends festivals and film markets, such as the
Sundance Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, in order to locate new
product. The Company may acquire rights either to "new" films (i.e., films for
which production has not yet been commenced or completed or, if completed, not
yet released into their initial exhibition market), or "completed" films,
sometimes referred to as "library" films (i.e., films which have been completed
and released into their initial exhibition market).
 
    Once the rights to a picture are obtained either as sales agent or
distributor, the Company will then seek to license its rights to foreign
subdistributors in the territories for which it has acquired distribution
rights. In general, the licensing of rights to subdistributors includes all
media other than satellite, although satellite is included in some
subdistributors' territories. The subdistributor in each territory generally
pays for its distribution rights with a down payment at the time the contract is
executed with the balance due upon delivery of the picture to the distributor.
 
    The Company's strategy is to capitalize on its reputation and the experience
of its management to expand the scale and scope of its activities in the
international film distribution business.

    In January, 1997, the Company changed its name from Communications and
Entertainment Corp. to Odyssey Pictures Corporation following approval of the
name change at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders in November, 1996.
 
                                  THE OFFERING
 
    Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus forms a part, the Company consummated the following transactions

1,000,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock in consideration of an aggregate
purchase price of $750,000 (the "Private Placement"), and the delivery of
2,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants in connection therewith (the
"Warrants"), to a group of equity investors in the Company (collectively, the
"Equity Investors"), (ii) the exchange of $262,500 of the Company's 12% senior

the exchange of a $70,000 promissory note of the Company into 100,000 Shares of
Common Stock of the Company. See "Business--Recent Financings"; "Selling
Stockholders". The closing of the Pre-Offering Transactions required that the
Company register the Shares (as well as the Shares underlying the Warrants)
issued in connection with such transactions. As a result, all of such Shares
(including 2,000,000 Shares underlying the Warrants issued to the Equity
Investors), are included in this Registration.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, the
following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company
and its business before purchasing any of the shares of Common Stock offered
hereby.
 
    CONTINUING OPERATING LOSSES.  The Company incurred a net loss in each of its
fiscal years ended June 30, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 of $1,263,418, $8,373,486,
$7,309,651 and $4,959,716, respectively. Similarly, the Company incurred a net
loss in its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996 of $322,442. Management
anticipates that the Company will incur a net loss for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1997 and there can be no assurance that the operations of the Company
will become profitable in the future. Continued operating losses will materially
impair the Company's ability to secure capital funding in the future.
 
    NEGATIVE NET WORTH; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING; GOING CONCERN.  As of
September 30, 1996, the Company had a negative net worth of $3,026,255.
Accordingly, the Company will be totally dependent on outside sources of funding
to sustain its business and operations while it continues to incur operating
losses. Although the Company recently concluded two transactions which will
provide the Company with sufficient cash reserves to sustain itself during the
1997 calendar year (see discussion of transaction with Kinnevik Media
Properties, Ltd. under "Business--Sales of Distribution Rights;" and see
"Business-- Recent Financings--The 1996/1997 Private Placement"), no assurance
can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining outside financing
for future periods on terms deemed favorable to the Company, if at all. If the
Company is unable to obtain such additional financing, and is unable to restore
itself to profitability in the near future, the Company's ability to meet its
ongoing obligations would be materially adversely affected. The Company's
independent accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their report
on the Company's financial statements stating that the Company's recurring
losses from operations, net capital deficiency and insufficient working capital
raise substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. See
Financial Statements.
 
    DEFAULT ON OUTSTANDING NOTES AND OBLIGATIONS.  In August and October of
1995, the Company concluded a private placement pursuant to which it issued
unsecured promissory notes to unaffiliated investors in the aggregate amount of
$312,500. The notes had a maturity date of one year and were due to be paid by
the Company upon their respective due dates on August 28 and October 3, 1996.
The Company made a proposal to the noteholders which involved the payment of
current interest on the notes and either the deferral of the maturity date of
the notes (the first proposal) or the cancellation of the notes in their
entirety (the second proposal), in each case in exchange for varying amounts of
registered stock of the Company. (See "Business-Recent Financings-1995 Private
Placement"). As of the date of this Prospectus, noteholders representing
$262,500 in principal amount of the notes elected the second proposal. The
remaining note for $50,000 (held by a single investor) has not been paid on its
due date, and is currently in default. Although this note is unsecured, a
continuing default on the note could impair the Company's ability to raise
additional capital in the future.
 
    The Company is also in default under a settlement agreement with Paramount
Pictures, pursuant to which it guaranteed that Paramount would receive not less
than $500,000 in licensing revenues from the film "Wuthering Heights" by January
15, 1997. Although the Company generated approximately $420,000 in net revenues
from the film prior to January 15, 1997, thereby minimizing the Company's
exposure under the guarantee, such net revenues are currently being held by an
independent sales agent in connection with a separate litigation with the
Company and have not been turned over to the Company for further payment to
Paramount under the guarantee. See "Business-Recent Financings-Paramount
Pictures Settlement"; also see discussion of litigation with Film Bridge
International, Inc. under "Legal Proceedings".
 
    LOSS OF NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET LISTING.  On May 1, 1996, the Nasdaq Stock
Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") notified the Company that its Shares of Common Stock
were being deleted from Nasdaq's
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
SmallCap Market, effective May 2, 1996, because the Company did not maintain a
combined capital and surplus of $1,000,000, as required by Section 1(c)(3) of
Schedule D of the NASD By-Laws. Since May 2, 1996, the Company's Shares have
traded in the over-the-counter market on Nasdaq's OTC Bulletin Board, an NASD
sponsored and operated inter-dealer automated quotation system originally
introduced as an alternative to "pink sheet" trading of over-the-counter
securities. Management does not anticipate that the Company will meet Nasdaq's
requirements for re-listing on the SmallCap Market in the near future, and,
until such time, the Company's ability to obtain third party financing may be
adversely affected by its failure to trade in the SmallCap Market. Moreover,
although the Company believes that the OTC Bulletin Board has been recognized as
an acceptable alternative to "pink sheet" trading (as published by The National
Quotation Bureau Incorporated), there can be no assurance that the liquidity and
prices of the Company's Shares in the secondary market will not be adversely
affected by the trading of such Shares on the OTC Bulletin Board.
 
    In addition, as a result of the Common Stock being deleted from Nasdaq,
trading in the Common Stock is also subject to the requirements of certain rules
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which require
additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving
a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-Nasdaq equity security that
has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to exceptions). Such
rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a
disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated
therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who
sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors (generally institutions). For these types of transactions, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to
sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements
may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock,
which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of the Common Stock.
 
    RECENT CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT.  A change in the entire Board of Directors of
the Company occurred in April 1995 in connection with the settlement of a proxy
contest, and an entirely new management team was installed by the newly
appointed Board in September, 1995. As a result of the complete turnover both at
the Board and management levels of the Company, new management has been unable
to focus its attention entirely on prospective business strategies for the
Company, having to devote a significant portion of its time to reviewing,
documenting and resolving problems attributable to prior management's activities
and actions. In many cases, appropriate records have not been available to
support prior management actions, impacting not only on new management's time
and resources, but also resulting in additional legal, accounting and other
professional costs for the company.
 
    POSSIBLE CHANGE IN CONTROL FROM PRIVATE PLACEMENT
TRANSACTION.  Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the Company consummated a
private placement transaction (previously defined as the "Private Placement"),
pursuant to which the Equity Investors purchased 1,000,000 Shares of the
Company's Common Stock for $750,000, and received 1,000,000 Warrants to purchase
Shares at $.75 per Share, and 1,000,000 Warrants to purchase Shares at $1.00 per
Share. (See "Business--Recent Financings--The 1996/1997 Private Placement";
"Principal Stockholders"). Although management is not aware of any agreement or
understanding requiring the Equity Investors to act in concert with respect to
their Shares, management believes that all of the Equity Investors have either
business, family or personal relationships with each other, and therefore there
exists the possibility that all of the Equity Investors, or at least a
substantial majority of the Equity Investors, may act as a group with respect to
their Shares. To the extent they do act in concert or otherwise as a group,
together they would control 1,000,000 Shares of the Company, or 22.7% of the
outstanding Shares of the Company, without giving effect to the exercise of
their Warrants; if all 2,000,000 of their Warrants were exercised, they would
then control up to a maximum of 46.9% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.
Whether or not their Warrants are exercised, if the Equity Investors act in
concert or otherwise as a group,
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
there exists the possibility that they would control a sufficient number of
votes to effect a change in control of the Company.
 
    LITIGATION RISK.  The Company is presently engaged in several lawsuits, all
of which (except the Film Bridge Litigation, as hereinafter described) have
arisen out of or in connection with certain actions taken by prior management of
the Company. (See "Legal Proceedings"). Although the Company believes that the
outcome of all current litigation will not have a material impact on its
financial condition, such litigation activity nevertheless consumes substantial
management time and Company resources, financial and otherwise, and there can be
no assurance as to the outcome of such litigation or the amount of damages the
Company would sustain if it did not prevail in any of such proceedings.
 
    RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY.  The motion picture
industry is highly speculative and inherently risky. There can be no assurance
of the economic success of any motion picture since revenues derived from the
production and distribution of films (which do not necessarily bear a direct
correlation to the production or distribution costs associated therewith) depend
primarily upon their acceptance by the public, which cannot be predicted. The
commercial success of films also depends upon the quality and acceptance of
other competing films released into the marketplace at or near the same time,
the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time
activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible
factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty.
 
    COMPETITION.  Film distribution is a highly competitive business with
competition coming both from companies within the motion picture industry and
companies in other entertainment media. Many of these competitors have
significantly greater financial and other resources than the Company. With many
of the major motion pictures studios having their own domestic and international
distribution departments, the pool of films available to distribution companies
such as Odyssey is somewhat limited, and, as a result, the Company is generally
forced to look to independent producers of motion pictures for distribution
product. Traditionally, with respect to the distribution of independently
produced films, the Company has competed primarily with other independent film
companies and numerous smaller distribution companies for the acquisition of
distribution rights to such films. However, in the wake of the recent commercial
success of many independently produced films, major studios and other
entertainment companies have shown renewed interest in acquiring the
distribution rights to such films, and the Company anticipates increased
competition for the acquisition of such distribution rights in the foreseeable
future.
 
    FLUCTUATION OF OPERATING RESULTS.  Most of the Company's revenues are
expected to be derived from the international distribution of feature-length
motion pictures produced by unrelated third parties. Consequently, the Company
will not have control over a variety of related factors including, without
limitation, the production schedules of new films, the release schedules of the
motion pictures it distributes or audience responses. Therefore, the Company's
revenues and earnings will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and
the revenues and earnings in any particular period may not be indicative of the
results for any future period. In addition, prior management left the Company
without any new film projects, and although new management has been somewhat
successful in securing the distribution rights to new film projects, such
projects generally require a minimum of twelve months of production time prior
to delivery of the film, if delivery is made at all. As a result, with respect
to any new film projects acquired by the Company, there will generally be a
significant time lag before the Company realizes any revenues from the
distribution of such film, and any delays and/or cancellations during the
production of the film may further postpone or eliminate entirely the
realization of revenues from such film.
 
    DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL; NO KEY MAN LIFE INSURANCE.  The Company's
success depends to a significant extent upon the performance of its management
team, particularly Stephen R. Greenwald, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, and Ira N. Smith, Co-Chairman and President. The loss of services of
either could have a material adverse impact on the Company. The Company does not
maintain key man life or disability insurance on either Mr. Greenwald or Mr.
Smith and may not be able to attract and/or
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
retain a suitable replacement in the event of the death or incapacity of either
party. The Company's success will also depend upon its ability to motivate and
retain other key employees and to attract and retain qualified personnel in the
future. See "Management".
 
    VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.  The Company's Common Stock is currently being
quoted on Nasdaq's OTC Bulletin Board system, and recently has been subject to
limited trading activity. As a result of the limited trading volume, and other
factors such as general economic conditions and prevailing market conditions,
the Common Stock has experienced and is likely to continue to experience in the
future significant price and volume fluctuations which could adversely affect
the market price of the Common Stock without regard to the operating performance
of the Company.
 
    NO DIVIDENDS.  The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on
its Common Stock to date and does not anticipate declaring or paying any
dividend in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to payment of
dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and will be dependent upon the Company's results of operations,
financial condition and capital requirements, availability of distributable
profits, if any, contractual restrictions and other factors considered relevant
by the Board of Directors.
 
    DILUTION.  Based on the Company's current negative net worth, and the sale
of Shares by Selling Stockholders rather than by the Company (so that the
proceeds of the offering will be for the benefit of Selling Stockholders and
there will be no increase in the net tangible book value of the Company's Common
Stock as a result of the offering), purchasers of Common Stock offered hereby
will experience substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of
Common Stock from the public offering price. See "Dilution". Additional dilution
may also be incurred in the future upon the exercise of outstanding options and
warrants granted by the Company.
 
    AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK.  The Company's Articles of Incorporation
authorize the issuance of "blank check" Preferred Stock with such designations,
rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder
approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion,
voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the
Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of
discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Although the Company has no present intention to issue any shares of its
Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in
the future. See "Description of Capital Stock".
 
    SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE.  There will be 4,394,846 shares of Common
Stock outstanding upon consummation of the offering, excluding shares issuable
upon exercise of outstanding warrants granted by the Company to the Equity
Investors, to officers, directors, employees and other third parties. With the
exception of 457,896 Shares held by affiliates of the Company ("Affiliate
Shares"), and 36,213 restricted shares held by non-affiliates of the Company for
a period of less than three years, all such shares are freely tradeable either
because they were originally registered in a public offering, have been held by
their respective owners for a period in excess of three years (and therefore are
eligible for sale in the public markets), or are being registered in this
offering. The remaining shares will only be eligible for sale in accordance with
the resale limitations of Rule 144 ("Rule 144") under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, there are
outstanding options and warrants to purchase a total of 3,884,500 shares of
Common Stock, of which 2,000,000 Shares are being registered pursuant to this
offering for the account of the Equity Investors and will be available for sale
in the open market without restriction upon exercise of the Warrants relating
thereto. Upon exercise of the remaining warrants, the Shares issuable thereunder
will only be eligible for sale in accordance with the resale limitations of Rule
144, or pursuant to an effective registration statement
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. (See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale").
 
    No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
shares of Common Stock, or the availability of shares for future sale, pursuant
to either Rule 144, this Prospectus, future registration statements, or
otherwise, will have on the market price of shares of Common Stock prevailing
from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock (including the
shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants), or the perception that such
sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the
Common Stock.
 
    LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.  The Company's Articles
of Incorporation include provisions to limit, to the full extent permitted by
Nevada law, the personal liability of directors of the Company for monetary
damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duties as directors. The
Articles of Incorporation also include provisions to the effect that (subject to
certain exceptions) the Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time
to time under the laws of the State of Nevada, indemnify, and upon request shall
advance expenses to, any director or officer to the extent permitted under such
law as it may from time to time be in effect. In addition, the Company's By-Laws
require the Company to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company for acts which such persons
reasonably believes are not in violation of the Company's corporate purposes as
set forth in the Articles of Incorporation. As a result of such provisions in
the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Company, stockholders may
be unable to recover damages against the directors and officers of the Company
for actions taken by them which constitute negligence, gross negligence or a
violation of their fiduciary duties, which may reduce the likelihood of
stockholders instituting derivative litigation against directors and officers
and may discourage or deter stockholders from suing directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company for breaches of their duty of care, even
though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and
its stockholders.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
    The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Common
Stock offered by Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Prospectus, and none of
such proceeds will be available otherwise for use by the Company or for the
Company's benefit. However, immediately prior to the commencement of the
offering, and contingent upon this Registration becoming effective, the Company
consummated the Private Placement, pursuant to which the Company received
$750,000 from the sale of 1,000,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Moreover, to the extent any Warrants are exercised by the Equity Investors prior
to the sale of the underlying Shares offered hereby, the Company will receive
the proceeds from the exercise of such Warrants, up to a maximum of $1,750,000.
It is anticipated that the proceeds of the Private Placement, and the proceeds
of the exercise of the Warrants, if any, will be used by the Company for general
working capital purposes.
 
    The first $50,000 of registration costs hereunder have been paid by the
Equity Investors, with the balance of such costs, anticipated to be
approximately $75,000, to be paid by the Company.

                          PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
 
    The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid information for
the Common Stock of the Company as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
("Nasdaq") on a quarterly basis for each of the two preceding fiscal years, and
for the six month period ended December 31, 1996. On May 1, 1996, Nasdaq
notified the Company that its shares of Common Stock were being deleted from
Nasdaq's SmallCap Market, effective May 2, 1996, because the Company did not
maintain a combined capital and surplus of $1,000,000, as required by Section
1(c)(3) of Schedule D of the NASD By-Laws. Since May 2, 1996, the Company's
shares have traded in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board. The
Company's Common Stock trades under the symbol "OPIX".
 
    No dividends have been declared or paid with respect to the Common Stock.
 
    On March 6, 1996, the Company declared a reverse one-for-six stock split
(the "Reverse Split") of its Common Stock, effective on March 18, 1996. The
share prices reflected below for all periods prior to the Reverse Split have
been adjusted upward (by a multiple of six) to give effect to the Reverse Split
for such prior periods on a pro forma basis.
 
    The bid quotations represent inter-dealer prices and do not include retail
mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual
transactions.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
    The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock since its
inception. The Company intends to retain its earnings, if any, to finance the
growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying cash
dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of any
future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors
and will depend upon, among other things, the future earnings, capital
requirements and financial condition of the Company. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
                        DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
    Although the Selling Stockholders may determine the offering price of the
Shares being offered hereunder, it is expected that the offering price will be
determined by the market price for the Company's Common Stock as quoted on
Nasdaq's OTC Bulletin Board from time to time. There is not expected to be any
material disparity between the offering price of the Common Stock being
registered and the market price of the Company's Common Stock as quoted from
time to time on the OTC Bulletin Board.

    The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company as of
September 30, 1996 both on an actual basis and on a pro forma basis, after
giving effect to the following Pre-Offering Transactions, all of which were
contingent upon the effectiveness of this Registration and therefore consummated
immediately prior to the commencement of this offering: (i) the sale of
1,000,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock to the Equity Investors in
consideration of an aggregate purchase price of $750,000, (ii) the exchange of
$262,500 of the Company's 12% senior unsecured notes into 525,000 Shares of the
Company's Common Stock, and (iii) the exchange of a $70,000 promissory note
(plus accrued interest) held by an unaffiliated third party in exchange for
100,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock.

    Since the offering hereunder is being made exclusively by Selling
Stockholders, and none of the proceeds of the offering will be received by the
Company, the capitalization of the Company will not be affected by the offering,
except with respect to the cumulative effect of the Pre-Offering Transactions
noted above and the subsequent exercise, if any, of the Warrants issued to the
Equity Investors.

                                    DILUTION
 
    The difference between the public offering price per share of Common stock
and the net tangible book value per share after this offering constitutes the
dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share is
determined by dividing the net tangible book value of the Company (total
tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock. Since all of the Shares offered hereby are being offered by
Selling Stockholders, the net tangible book value of the Company will not be
affected by this offering, except with respect to the Pre-Offering Transactions,
the cumulative effect of which would be to reduce the negative net tangible book
value of the Company by an aggregate amount of approximately $1,089,709 and to
increase the number of outstanding Shares of the Company by 1,625,000 Shares.
 
    At September 30, 1996, the net tangible book value of the Company was
($3,026,255), or ($1.13) per share. After giving effect to the Pre-Offering
Transactions referenced above, the net tangible book value of the Company (on a
pro forma basis) would be ($1,936,546), or ($.45) per share. Since the offering
by Selling Stockholders will not affect the net tangible book value of the
Company, investors in this offering will be subject to dilution in an amount
equal to the difference between the selling price of the Shares purchased
hereunder and the then existing net tangible book value per share of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of purchase.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
 
    Revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 did not
increase substantially from the three months ended September 30, 1995. There
were no films which became available for delivery in either of the periods.
 
    Costs related to revenues decreased to $3,002 for the 1996 Three Month
Period from $32,402 for the 1995 Three Month Period. The costs of revenues
decrease is primarily due to a settlement with a producer in the amount of
$25,000 for unrecouped distribution costs.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $35,825 (11%) to
$353,474 for the 1996 Three Month Period from $317,649 for the comparable 1995
Period. The increase is primarily due to higher legal and accounting fees.
 
    Interest expense increased to $23,217 for the 1996 Three Month Period from
$10,236 for the comparable 1995 Three Month Period. The increased interest
resulted from the private placement sale of an aggregate of $312,500 principal
amount of 12% Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes in August and October 1995 and
the issuance of a note payable in the amount of $70,000 in payment of legal
fees.
 
    The Company did not recognize any tax benefits related to its losses from
operations for either period due to its inability to carry-back such losses to
prior years.
 
    As of September 30, 1996, the Company had a federal net operating loss
carryforward, for tax purposes, of approximately $27,000,000, expiring through
2010, available to be used to reduce future tax liability. Due to limitations
imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, the utilization of approximately
$4,900,000 of these net operating losses will be limited to approximately
$350,000 per year.
 
    The Company's principal activities have been the acquisition of rights in
either completed or incomplete motion pictures and the licensing of these rights
to sub-distributors in foreign countries. As of September 30, 1996, the Company
had agreements in principle with sub-distributors relating to distribution
commitments or guarantees of approximately $1.3 million that had not been
recognized in the statement of operations. The Company will recognize these
guarantees in revenues and the costs related to such revenues when motion
pictures are completed and available for delivery. It is possible that changes
in schedules and cancellations of pictures may defer and/or reduce the amounts
of revenues that will be recognized in later periods.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
 
    Operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 ("fiscal 1996") resulted
in a loss from continuing operations of $4,959,716, compared to a loss from
continuing operations of $6,851,458 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995
("fiscal 1995"). The loss for fiscal 1996 is primarily the result of a
$3,262,478 loss on the sale of interests in joint ventures relating to four
theatrical films, and from the continued decline in film distribution revenue.
The loss for fiscal 1995 is due to a substantial decline in revenues, as
compared to the previous fiscal year, and certain write-offs, including film
costs and receivables resulting from the settlement of litigation with Home Box
Office Inc. ("HBO"), costs associated with the sale or abandonment of film
development projects and unrecoverable distribution costs.
 
    Revenues declined 34% to $1,010,826 for fiscal 1996 from $1,521,434 for
fiscal 1995. Revenues for both periods reflect the continued licensing of rights
in the Company's library of feature films. There were
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
no new films which became available for delivery to the Company in either
period, partly due to prior management's failure to acquire rights to new film
projects.
 
    Costs related to revenues for fiscal 1996 exceeded film distribution
revenues by $35,473, primarily due to the write-off of unrecoverable
distribution costs. For fiscal 1995 costs related to revenues exceeded revenues
by $3,223,896, primarily due to write-offs of approximately $2,518,000
associated with the settlement of litigation with Home Box Office, Inc., and
write-offs of film development projects, film assets acquired in settlement of
loans receivable and unrecoverable distribution costs.
 
    As of January 2, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with its joint
venture partner to sell its related joint ventures through which it held
approximately 50% ownership interests in four theatrical motion pictures. As a
result of the sale, the assets and obligations of the joint ventures, heretofore
included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, were
eliminated, including approximately $3,485,000 of funds held in joint venture
accounts, net film costs of approximately $6,051,000, payable due to producers
and participants of approximately $7,244,000, deferred income of $520,000 and
other net obligations of approximately $272,000.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2,140,156 (58%) to
$1,565,307 for fiscal 1996 from $3,705,463 for fiscal 1995. The reductions in
expenses is a direct result of new management's efforts to eliminate unnecessary
overhead. Expenses for fiscal 1996 reflect significant decreases in personnel
and related expenses, rent (due to the closure of the New York office and the
relocation of the Los Angeles office) and professional fees.
 
    The decrease in interest income for fiscal 1996 is due to a reduction in the
average available cash balances, including funds held in joint venture accounts.
 
    Interest expense increased to $97,701 for fiscal 1996 from $19,498 for
fiscal 1995. The increased interest resulted primarily from the private
placement sale of an aggregate of $312,500 principal amount of 12% Senior
Unsecured Promissory Notes in August and October 1995.
 
    The Company did not recognize any tax benefits related to its losses from
operations for the 1996 and 1995 fiscal years due to its inability to carry-back
such losses to prior years.
 
    As of June 30, 1996, the Company had federal net operating loss
carryforwards, for tax purposes, of approximately $27,000,000, expiring through
2011, available to be used to reduce future tax liability. Due to limitations
imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, the utilization of approximately
$4,900,000 of these net operating losses will be limited to approximately
$350,000 per year.
 
    The Company's principal activity has been the acquisition of rights in
either completed motion pictures or motion pictures in development or
pre-production, and the licensing of these rights to subdistributors in foreign
countries. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had agreements in principle with
subdistributors relating to distribution commitments or guarantees of
approximately $6 million that had not been recognized in the statement of
operations, an increase of $4.9 million from June 30, 1995. The Company will
recognize these guarantees in revenues and the costs related to such revenue
when motion pictures are completed and available for delivery. It is possible
that changes in schedules and cancellations of pictures may defer and/or reduce
the amounts of revenues that will be recognized in later periods.
 
    YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
 
    Revenues declined 90% to $1,521,434 for fiscal 1995 from $14,797,040 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 ("fiscal 1994"). The decline in revenues is due
to the unavailability of financing to acquire rights to new film projects, and
the cancellation of the output agreement with HBO. There were no films which
became available for delivery in fiscal 1995. Revenues for fiscal 1994 were
largely attributable to the initial availability of four motion pictures
produced by HBO.
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
    Film costs exceeded film distribution revenues for fiscal 1995 due primarily
to the write-off of approximately $2,518,000 of film costs and receivables
resulting from the settlement of a lawsuit with HBO, the write-off of
approximately $401,000 associated with the sale or abandonment of film
development projects, and the write-off of approximately $394,000 of film assets
acquired in settlement of loans receivable for ATC II, Inc. and the write-off of
unrecoverable distribution costs on films of approximately $357,000. Film costs
as a percentage of revenues for fiscal 1994 were 91%. Film costs for fiscal 1994
also reflect provision for doubtful accounts, the write-downs of two pictures to
net realizable value and the write-off of costs related to certain abandoned
film projects.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 36% to $3,705,463,
compared to $5,757,010 for fiscal 1994. The decrease in expenses is largely due
to cost cutting measures implemented by management because of the decline in
revenues, partially offset by increased legal and professional fees and costs
associated with the proxy contest. Fiscal 1994 expenses also included the
write-off of $311,000 of costs incurred in connection with an abandoned
financing transaction and the write-off of $203,000 of costs associated with an
abandoned acquisition.
 
    The loss for fiscal 1994 includes a provision for loss on investment of
$3,363,829 attributable to its investment in ATC II Corp.
 
    The Company did not recognize any tax benefits related to its loss from
operations for fiscal 1995 due to its inability to carryback such losses to
prior years. The Company recorded benefits for income taxes of $179,000 for
fiscal 1994 attributable to pretax losses from continuing operations. The
benefit is lower than expected based on the pretax losses due to limitations on
the Company's ability to carryback such losses to prior years.
 
    The loss from discontinued operations of $458,193 for fiscal 1995 includes
the write off of $393,588 of film rights acquired in settlement of loans made by
ComEnt Funding Corp. ("CFC"), the Company's finance subsidiary, and $64,605 of
loss from operations of Global Intellicom, the shares of which were acquired in
December 1994 and sold in April 1995. The loss from discontinued operations of
$765,566 for fiscal 1994 was associated with the discontinued operations of CFC
and includes the write-off of deferred costs, including the balance of deferred
start up costs related to the formation of CFC.
 
    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    At September 30, 1996, the Company held approximately $106,000 of cash.
 
    In many instances, the Company acquires the rights to motion picture
productions prior to their completion. As a result, there may be a substantial
delay between the time the Company enters into distribution agreements with
producers and subdistribution agreements with foreign sub-distributors and the
time it recognizes revenues and generates cash from each production.
 
    As of September 30, 1996, the Company had an outstanding obligation to
Paramount Pictures of approximately $2.7 million for the prior acquisition of
distribution rights relating to the motion picture "Wuthering Heights", which
obligation is included in the consolidated statement of financial condition. In
December, 1996, the Company and Paramount executed a settlement agreement
pursuant to which Paramount agreed to cancel the outstanding indebtedness of
$2.7 million in full, in exchange for which the Company agreed to (i) relinquish
all further distribution rights to "Wuthering Heights"; (ii) assign to Paramount
all of its rights in any outstanding distribution agreements for the film, and
any receivables to be generated therefrom; and (iii) guarantee that Paramount
will collect a total of $500,000 in sales revenue from existing distribution
agreements no later than January 15, 1997. Existing license agreements yielded
approximately $420,000 in net revenues prior to January 15, 1997 (of which the
Company would have been entitled to retain approximately 10% thereof in
commissions), thereby minimizing the Company's exposure under the guarantee to
Paramount. However, such net revenues are presently being held by Film Bridge
International in connection with a separate litigation with the Company and have
not yet been
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
turned over to the Company for further payment to Paramount under the settlement
agreement. Accordingly, Paramount has notified the Company that it is in default
under the terms of the settlement agreement.
 
    In the past, the Company has been dependent on obtaining outside financing
to acquire distribution rights to films. New management has reduced the
Company's reliance on outside financing by placing more emphasis on acquiring
distribution rights through arrangements which require lower or no advance
payments. At present, the Company may not be able to secure distribution rights
by issuing letters of credit or advancing significant production funds, as it
has in the past.
 
    In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to grant subdistribution rights in, and to sell other
distribution rights to, certain films in the Company's film library. In exchange
for these rights, the Company will receive a total cash consideration of
$1,075,000, payable $500,000 on closing, $275,000 six months after closing, and
$300,000 eighteen months after the closing. In addition, the Company will retain
a continuing right to receive revenues from certain of the films, valued by
management at a minimum of approximately $150,000. Additionally, the purchaser
will provide the Company with a $500,000 revolving line of credit to be secured
by accounts receivable and other contractual rights acquired by the Company. As
part of the transaction, the Company will grant 100,000 stock options,
exercisable over a three year period at the bid price of the Company's common
stock in effect on August 5, 1996 ($.625). The transaction closed on October 7,
1996.
 
    In September 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with an
unaffiliated third party (subject to conditions) for the purchase of 1 million
shares of the Company's common stock in consideration for $750,000 cash. The
purchaser will also receive three-year warrants to purchase up to 2 million
shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $ .875 per share.
 
    The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of
September 30, 1996.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
 
    Odyssey Pictures Corporation ("Odyssey" or the "Company"), formerly known as
Communications and Entertainment Corp., was formed in December 1989 as a holding
company. At such time, the Company had no material assets. In September 1990,
Double Helix Films, Inc. ("Double Helix"), a producer of low budget films, and
Odyssey Entertainment Ltd. ("OEL"), an international film distribution company,
were merged with wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Mergers").
Subsequent to the Mergers, each of Double Helix and OEL became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. In June 1991, the Company sold Double Helix and
thereafter began to focus on the distribution of motion pictures in overseas
markets as its primary business.
 
    A change in the entire Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board")
occurred on April 12, 1995 pursuant to the terms of a Settlement Agreement,
dated as of March 31, 1995 (the "Settlement Agreement"), by and among Robert
Hesse, Shane O'Neil, Lawrence I. Schneider, Henry N. Schneider, Robert E.
Miller, Jr., Russell T. Stern, Jr. (collectively, a group of shareholders
originally formed to effect a change in management control of the Company and
known as the "CECO Shareholders Committee"), and the Company, OEL, Global
Intellicom, Inc., each of Jerry Silva, Robert Ferraro, N. Norman Muller, Thomas
W. Smith and David A. Mortman (constituting all the directors of the Company at
the time of the execution of the Settlement Agreement and hereinafter referred
to collectively as the "Former Directors"), and others.
 
    As contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, on April 11, 1995, the Former
Directors increased the size of the Board from five to six directors and elected
Henry N. Schneider, a designee of the CECO Shareholders Committee, a new
director effective upon the closing of the Settlement Agreement. The closing of
the Settlement Agreement occurred on April 12, 1995 and, upon the closing, the
resignations of the Former Directors became effective. After the closing, Henry
N. Schneider, as sole remaining director of the Company, elected Lawrence I.
Schneider, Russell T. Stern, Jr., Patrick J. Haynes, III and Robert E. Miller,
Jr. as new directors of the Company. In addition to the change in the
composition of the Board, the Settlement Agreement provided for the settlement
of all outstanding litigation between the Company and the CECO Shareholders
Committee. The CECO Shareholders Committee disbanded upon the closing of the
Settlement Agreement. Effective September 8, 1995, each of Messrs. Haynes, Stern
and Henry N. Schneider resigned as directors of the Company and were replaced by
Stephen R. Greenwald and Ira N. Smith, each of whom was appointed to the Board
by the remaining members thereof on such date. See "Management--Executive
Officers and Directors."
 
    Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part, the Company consummated a Private Placement
with the Equity Investors who purchased 1,000,000 Shares of the Company's Common
Stock in consideration of an investment in the Company of $750,000. In addition,
the Equity Investors also received 1,000,000 three-year Warrants exercisable at
$.75 per share, and 1,000,000 three year Warrants exercisable at $1.00. Although
management is not aware of any specific understanding or agreement among the
Equity Investors to act in concert with respect to their Shares, the Equity
Investors as a group represent approximately 23% of the outstanding Shares of
Common Stock of the Company, and to the extent they do act in concert or
otherwise as a group with respect to their Shares in the Company, they would
likely be in a position to effect a change in control of the Company if it was
their desire to do so. See "Business--Recent Financings--The 1996/1997 Private
Placement"; "Selling Stockholders"; "Principal Stockholders"; and "Risk
Factors".
 
    During the early 1990s, the Company developed an excellent reputation in
overseas markets for the distribution of quality motion picture entertainment, a
reputation which the Company's management believes it continues to enjoy despite
its recent difficulties. Past films distributed by the Company which enjoyed
considerable success in the overseas market include such well-known productions
as Sidney Lumet's "Q & A," Blake Edward's "Switch," Michael Caton Jones' "This
Boy's Life," Irwin Winkler's
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
"Guilty by Suspicion" and "Sniper." The Company is committed to expanding its
activities in the foreign distribution of high quality motion pictures and
expects that the international distribution of films will continue to be its
primary line of business.
 
    On March 6, 1996, the Company declared a reverse one-for-six stock split of
its Common Stock (the "Reverse Split"), effective March 18, 1996. All share
amounts and per share prices reflected in this Report have been adjusted to give
effect to the Reverse Split.
 
    The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1875 Century Park
East, Suite 2130, Los Angeles, California 90067. The Telephone number is
310-229-2430, and the fax number is 310-229-2434.
 
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
 
    Since the sale of its Double Helix subsidiary in 1991, the Company has been
engaged in only one industry segment and line of business, the international
distribution of motion pictures. See "Selected Consolidated Financial Data."
 
FOREIGN SALES AND DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS
 
    GENERAL:
 
    The foreign distribution of films involves two principal activities--the
acquisition of rights from the licensor or the seller, usually the producer of
the film, and the licensing of the distribution rights to subdistributors in
foreign markets. In general, the rights obtained from the producer relate to all
media, including theatrical distribution, video and all forms of television.
 
    Other than with respect to films produced and distributed directly by major
motion picture studios, it is unlikely that subdistributors in foreign
territories would bypass the Company and deal directly with the licensors of
film rights. Historically, independent licensors of film rights prefer to deal
with a single sales agent/distributor rather than deal with various
subdistributors in foreign markets. Consequently, even if a particular
subdistributor attempted to perform the function of the Company, it is unlikely
that the film's licensor would be willing to deal with such subdistributor.
Furthermore, with respect to any particular film, the Company typically enters
into an exclusive distributorship arrangement, thereby precluding others from
competing with the Company with respect to that film.
 
    TERMS OF LICENSE AGREEMENTS WITH PRODUCERS OF FILMS:
 
    The acquisition of film distribution rights by the Company generally breaks
down into two broad categories:
 
    - SALES AGENCY REPRESENTATION. As a sales agent, the Company will undertake
      to represent and license a motion picture in all markets and media on a
      best-efforts basis, with no guarantees or advances, for a fee of 15-20%,
      and typically for a term ranging from seven to fifteen years.
 
    - DISTRIBUTION. As a distributor, the Company may provide the producer of
      the film with a guarantee of a portion of the budget of the project. This
      guarantee may be in the form of a bank commitment to the producer, secured
      by license agreements with foreign licensees, which is used by the
      producer to finance the production. Typically, the Company receives a
      distribution fee of 25-35% over a term ranging from 15 years to
      perpetuity. In addition, the Company may acquire a profit participation in
      the film project.
 
    TERMS OF SUBDISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS WITH FOREIGN DISTRIBUTORS:
 
    Foreign distribution is generally handled by a distributor such as the
Company which coordinates worldwide sales in all territories and media. Once the
rights to a picture are obtained either as sales agent or distributor, the
Company will then seek to license its rights to subdistributors in the
territories for which
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
it has acquired distribution rights. In general, the grant of rights to the
subdistributors includes all media other than satellite, although satellite is
included in some subdistributors' territories. The Company relies on local
subdistributors to physically deliver the motion picture and related marketing
materials and to collect revenues from local exhibitors and other local
distributors of the film. Typically, the territorial rights for a specific
medium such as television exhibition are sold for a "cycle" of approximately
seven years, after which the rights become available for license for additional
cycles. The subdistributor in each territory generally pays for its distribution
rights with a down payment at the time the contract is executed with the balance
due upon delivery of the picture to the subdistributor. (Delivery soccurs upon
the Company's acceptance of the master negative and its obtaining access to the
interpositive and certain other items necessary for the distribution of the
film). In certain instances, the subdistributors' obligations for the payment
due on delivery are secured by a letter of credit. Sales take place primarily at
three film markets-- Cannes, France in May; MIFED in Milan, Italy in October;
and the American Film Market ("AFM") in Los Angeles in February.
 
    In general, after financing (if any) is repaid, the Company applies the
distribution receipts from its subdistributors to the payment of commissions due
to the Company and to the recovery of any distribution expenses advanced by the
Company. Additional distribution receipts, if any, are shared by the Company and
the producer according to the percentages negotiated in the agreement between
the Company and the producer.
 
INDEPENDENT FILM PRODUCTION AND PRODUCT ACQUISITION
 
    Overseas film distribution companies such as the Company primarily represent
independent producers of motion pictures (rather than major motion picture
studios) in all overseas markets and all media, including theatrical release,
television and home video distribution, and cable or satellite-distributed
media.
 
    Producers seek to be independent producers of motion pictures for a variety
of reasons, including greater creative control of a project and potentially a
greater profit participation through the retention of the copyright or the
ability to sell the film directly in particular markets. Often, young, new
directors and producers have no choice but to independently produce their
projects, and the motion picture industry has a long history of "breakthrough"
films produced at very low cost by first time producers and directors which
subsequently achieve considerable revenues. Recent examples include "Pulp
Fiction", "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "The Crying Game". The Company
generally obtains its product from among these independently produced films
rather than from major motion picture studios which typically have their own
in-house distribution networks. Nevertheless, from time to time, the Company may
enter into a "split rights" arrangement with a studio to represent a film in the
overseas market.
 
    The Company's management seeks to identify attractive projects very early in
their development, either through relationships with producers, directors and
agents or through industry announcements of new productions. In addition, the
Company's acquisitions personnel attends festivals and film markets, such as the
Sundance Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, in order to locate new
product. The Company may acquire rights either to "new" films (i.e., films for
which production has not yet been commenced or completed or, if completed, not
yet released into their initial exhibition market), or "completed" films,
sometimes referred to as "library" films (i.e., films which have been completed
and released into their initial exhibition market).
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
    The Company's strategy is to capitalize on its reputation and the experience
of its management to expand the scale and scope of its activities in the
international film distribution business.
 
    The Company's film acquisition strategy is to seek out and acquire quality
films with broad appeal in overseas markets. In addition, the Company intends to
maximize the risk/return profile of its film assets by
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
building a portfolio of films with minimal levels of risk and financial
exposure. In the past, the Company has been dependent on obtaining outside
financing to acquire distribution rights to films. New management has reduced
the Company's reliance on outside financing by placing more emphasis on
acquiring distribution rights through arrangements which require lower or no
advance payments. At present, the Company is not able to secure distribution
rights by issuing letters of credit or advancing significant production funds,
as it has in the past. Generally, the films that the Company represents are
financed by the producers of the film, through independent loan or equity
financing, utilizing the license agreements generated by the Company as
collateral for production loans.
 
    To ensure a flow of quality film projects to the Company and to create
opportunities for the Company to acquire ownership interests in films, the
Company intends to enter into certain "first-look" and "second-look" agreements
with successful film producers. Under these arrangements, the producers agree to
give the Company a first or second (after a major studio) "look" at any film
projects they are developing. This "look" gives the Company the right to acquire
foreign and/or domestic distribution rights, to serve as an executive producer
on the project for a fee and to acquire an ownership interest in the project
with little or no financial risk. See "Business--Producer Agreements".
 
    As part of its overall business strategy, the Company will consider selling
portions of its distribution rights from time to time for current cash
consideration, thereby accelerating all or part of the future revenues that may
be derived from the distribution of these films in foreign markets. See
"Business--Sales of Distribution Rights".
 
SALES OF DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
 
    On January 2, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Regency
International Pictures, B.V. ("Regency"), the Company's joint venture partner,
to sell the Company's interest in the related joint ventures through which it
held approximately 50% ownership interests in four theatrical motion pictures,
entitled "Switch", "Q & A," "Guilty by Suspicion" and "This Boy's Life".
Pursuant to the agreement with Regency, the Company received $1,000,000 on
January 23, 1996 and $500,000 on February 14, 1996, in exchange for all of the
Company's interests in the joint ventures. In addition, the Company retained a
contingent interest in certain receivables, not to exceed $212,500, and a
contingent interest in future revenues from the pictures.
 
    On October 7, 1996, the Company consummated an agreement with Kinnevik Media
Properties, Ltd. ("Kinnevik"), pursuant to which the Company granted to Kinnevik
subdistribution rights in, and sold to Kinnevik other distribution rights to,
certain films for which the Company was acting as distribution agent. In
exchange for these rights, Kinnevik agreed to pay to the Company a total cash
consideration of $1,075,000, payable $500,000 on closing, $275,000 six months
after closing, and $300,000 eighteen months after closing. In addition, the
Company retained a continuing right to receive revenues from certain of the
films, valued by management at a minimum of approximately $150,000. Kinnevik
also agreed to provide the Company with a $500,000 revolving line of credit to
be secured by accounts receivable and other contractual rights acquired by the
Company. As part of the transaction, Kinnevik received stock options
(exercisable over a three year period) to purchase 100,000 Shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $.625 per share. The closing bid
price of the Company's Common Stock on October 7, 1996 was $1.375 per share.
 
CURRENT "INVENTORY" OF DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
 
    The Company's current inventory of film distribution rights consists of 12
films, two of which are "library" films (i.e., films already in distribution),
and ten of which are new films which have either recently been completed (but
not yet released) or are in various stages of pre-production. See
"Business-Legal
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
Proceedings" for a discussion of litigation involving Film Bridge International
(the "Film Bridge Litigation"), a film distribution company and former joint
venture partner of the Company which has asserted claims to the distribution
rights to certain of the films described below.
 
    The two "library" films are as follows:
 
    - "Mr. Write", a high energy romantic comedy about an aspiring playwright
      who falls hopelessly in love with a stunning actress. The film stars Paul
      Reiser, Martin Mull and Jessica Tuck and was originally released in the
      U.S.
 
    - "Rich Girl", a romantic film about a spoiled rich girl who leaves home and
      falls in love with a rock star from the wrong side of the tracks.
 
    The Company has acquired overseas distribution rights to the following ten
new films, four of which are recently completed but not yet released ("Up, Down
& Sideways," "Danger in Paradise," "Sudden Manhattan" and "Mujeres Infieles"),
and six of which are in various stages of pre-production with delivery
anticipated in 1997 and/or 1998:
 
    - "Up, Down and Sideways", an urban comedy set in Athens, Greece directed by
      Michael Cacoyannis, who directed "Zorba the Greek", and starring Irene
      Papas;
 
    - "Danger in Paradise", an action/adventure film in which "paradise" turns
      into a danger zone for two men on a sailing trip; starring Frank Stallone.
 
    - "Sudden Manhattan", an off-beat comedy that revolves around a woman in her
      twenties living in Manhattan who has recently been fired from her job and
      inadvertently becomes immersed in a bizarre modern day fable of good
      versus evil.
 
    - "Mujeres Infieles," a film concerning the romantic and erotic adventures
      of three women; directed by internationally recognized Adolfo Martinez

    As of September 30, 1996, the Company had agreements in principle with
subdistributors relating to distribution commitments or guarantees of
approximately $1.3 million that had not been recognized in the statement of
operations, an increase of $200,000 from September 30, 1995. The Company will
recognize these guarantees as revenues and the costs related to such revenues
when the motion pictures to which they relate are completed and available for
delivery. It is possible that changes in production schedules and/or
cancellations of pictures may defer and/or reduce the amount of revenues that
will be recognized in later periods.
 
PRODUCER AGREEMENTS
 
    The Company will seek to implement its strategy by entering into
"first-look" and "second look" agreements with certain producers. In exchange
for these "look" rights, the Company may agree to cover certain overhead
expenses of the producers, recoupable out of revenues from the films developed.
In addition, the Company may grant certain of its producers stock options on the
commencement of production of a film. The Company has entered into a "first
look" agreement with Presto Productions. Presto is one of the producers of "Dark
Angel 2" and produced "Mr. Write", a Paul Reiser comedy film which Presto has
licensed to the Company for both domestic and foreign sales. Presto will receive
compensation at the rate of $2,000 per month during the one year term of its
agreement with the Company.
 
RECENT FINANCINGS
 
    1995 PRIVATE PLACEMENT:
 
    In August and October of 1995, the Company concluded a private placement
pursuant to which it issued unsecured promissory notes to unaffiliated investors
in the aggregate amount of $312,500. The notes have a maturity date of one year
and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. A total of 6.25 units were sold
at a purchase price of $50,000 per unit. In addition, warrants were issued to
the purchasers at the rate of 4,167 warrants for each unit sold, or a total of
26,042 warrants (on a post Reverse Split basis). Each warrant certificate
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise
price of either $2.83 per share (the August warrants) or $2.37 per share (the
October warrants) over a three year period commencing one year after the closing
of the private placement. After paying expenses and commissions of $42,500, the
Company received net proceeds of $270,000 from the private placement. The notes
issued in the private placement were due to be paid by the Company upon their
respective due dates on August 28 and October 3, 1996. The Company has made
alternative proposals to the noteholders which would involve the payment of
current interest and either the deferral of the maturity date of the notes (the
first proposal) or the cancellation of the notes in their entirety (the second
proposal), in each case in exchange for varying amounts of registered stock of
the Company. In the first proposal, the maturity date of the notes would be
deferred until December 15, 1997 and the warrants would be exchanged for
registered shares in an amount equal to 20% of the principal amount of the
notes, with shares valued at $.75 per share. In the second proposal, the notes
and warrants would be cancelled and the notes would be exchanged for registered
shares in an amount equal to 150% of the principal amount of the notes, with
shares valued at $.75 per share. As of the date of this Prospectus, noteholders
representing $262,500 in principal amount of the notes elected the second
proposal (collectively, the "Exchanging Noteholders"), resulting in the issuance
of an aggregate of 525,000 Shares of Common Stock to the Exchanging Noteholders,
which Shares are included in the within offering. See "Selling Stockholders".
The remaining notes for $50,000 (held by a single investor) have not been paid
and are in default. (See "Risk Factors"). The Company has paid current interest
on all of the notes through the first anniversary date of the respective notes.
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
    THE 1996/1997 PRIVATE PLACEMENT:
 
    On September 25, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with David
Somerstein, an unaffiliated third party ("Somerstein"), for the purchase of
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in consideration of $750,000, or
$.75 per share, payable all cash at closing (previously defined as the "Private
Placement"). In addition, at closing, the purchaser was to receive 1,000,000
class A warrants ("Class A Warrants") and 1,000,000 class B warrants ("Class B
Warrants") (previously defined collectively as the "Warrants"), each set of
Warrants being exercisable over a three year period for the purchase of
1,000,000 shares of common stock at the respective exercise prices of $.75 and
$1.00 per share. (On September 25, 1996, the date the agreement with Mr.
Somerstein was executed, the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock was
$.50 per share). The Class A Warrants are exercisable at any time during their
three year term, commencing three months after the date of this Prospectus, and
the Class B Warrants are exercisable at any time during their three year term,
commencing five months after the date of this Prospectus. The Company will have
the right to call the Class A Warrants at a price of $.01 per Warrant at any
time after 12 months from the date of issuance on 30 days notice to the holders
thereof, provided that the average closing bid price of the Company's Common
Stock for the 10-day trading period immediately preceding the giving of notice
is not less than 50% greater than the exercise price of the Class A Warrants
(i.e., not less than $1.125 per share). The Company will have the right to call
the Class B Warrants at a price of $.01 per Warrant at any time after 6 months
from the date the Class A Warrants are called on 30 days notice to the holders
thereof, provided that the average closing bid price of the Company's Common
Stock for the 10-day trading period immediately preceding the giving of notice
is not less than 50% greater than the exercise price of the Class B Warrants
(i.e., not less than $1.50 per share).
 
    If all Warrants are exercised, a total of 3,000,000 shares will be issued
and the Company will receive a total of $2,500,000 from the initial sale of the
shares and the exercise of the Warrants. The closing of the Private Placement
was made contingent upon (i) shareholder approval of an amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation authorizing an increase in the number of
authorized shares of the Company, and (ii) the effectiveness of a registration
statement filed by the Company with respect to the initial shares purchased and
the shares underlying the Warrants. Shareholder approval was obtained at the
1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on November 22, 1996, and the latter
requirement was satisfied upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
of which this Prospectus forms a part. The shares and Warrants were issued
immediately prior to the date of this Prospectus and both the shares, and the
shares underlying the Warrants, are covered by this Prospectus. Prior to the
closing of the Private Placement, Mr. Somerstein notified the Company that a
group of investors (previously defined as the Equity Investors) would be
participating in the Private Placement together with Mr. Somerstein, and as a
result, the shares and Warrants were issued to the Equity Investors in
proportion to their respective participations in the Private Placement. See
"Selling Stockholders" for a listing of the Equity Investors and their
respective participations in the Private Placement. The Equity Investors have
agreed to pay the first $50,000 of costs incurred by the Company connection with
the registration.
 
    Although management of the Company is not aware of any specific agreement or
understanding requiring the Equity Investors to act in concert with respect to
their Shares, management believes that all of such persons and/or entities have
either business, family or personal relationships with each other, and therefore
there exists the possibility that all of the Equity Investors, or at least a
substantial majority thereof, may act as a group with respect to their Shares.
To the extent they do act in concert or otherwise as a group, together they
would control 1,000,000 Shares of the Company, or 22.7% of the outstanding
Shares of the Company, without giving effect to the exercise of their Warrants;
if all 2,000,000 of their Warrants were exercised, they would then control up to
a maximum of 46.9% of the outstanding Shares of the Company at that time.
Whether or not their Warrants are exercised, if the Equity Investors act in
concert or otherwise as a group, there exists the possibility that they would
control a sufficient number of votes to effect a change in control of the
Company. See "Risk Factors".
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
    Management does not believe that the Private Placement, in and of itself,
will adversely affect the Company's tax loss carryforward position. However, no
assurances can be given that future changes in the equity positions of
shareholders of the Company, in combination with the equity changes resulting
from the Private Placement, will not result in the imposition of certain
limitations on the utilization or availability of the Company's tax loss
carryforward position. See "Tax Loss Carryforward."
 
    In connection with the Private Placement, the Company has agreed to issue to
Gene Miller, an unaffiliated third party who introduced the Equity Investors to
the Company, the following finder's fee: warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, exercisable for a three year period at an exercise
price of $.75 per share; additional warrants exercisable for a three year period
at an exercise price of $.75 per share, the number of such warrants to be equal
to 10% of the Class A Warrants ultimately exercised by the Equity Investors; and
additional warrants exercisable for a three year period at an exercise price of
$1.00 per share, the number of such warrants to be equal to 10% of the Class B
Warrants ultimately exercised by the Equity Investors.
 
    PARAMOUNT PICTURES SETTLEMENT:
 
    In 1992, the Company gave a $2.7 million contractual guarantee to Paramount
Pictures to acquire all of the foreign distribution rights to the film
"Wuthering Heights". The payment was never made by the Company and new
management of the Company had been negotiating with Paramount since October 1995
with respect to a resolution of this matter. In December, 1996, the Company and
Paramount executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which Paramount agreed to
cancel the outstanding indebtedness of $2.7 million in full, in exchange for
which the Company agreed to (i) relinquish all further distribution rights to
"Wuthering Heights"; (ii) assign to Paramount all of its rights in any
outstanding distribution agreements for the film, and any receivables to be
generated therefrom; and (iii) guarantee that Paramount will collect a total of
$500,000 in sales revenue from existing distribution agreements no later than
January 15, 1997. Existing license agreements yielded approximately $420,000 in
net revenues prior to January 15, 1997 (of which the Company would have been
entitled to retain approximately 10% thereof in commissions), thereby minimizing
the Company's exposure under the guarantee to Paramount. However, such net
revenues are presently being held by Film Bridge International in connection
with the Film Bridge Litigation and have not yet been turned over to the Company
for further payment to Paramount under the settlement agreement. Accordingly,
Paramount has notified the Company that it is in default under the terms of the
settlement agreement. See discussion of the Film Bridge Litigation under
"Business--Legal Proceedings."
 
    GENERALE BANK SETTLEMENT:
 
    In December, 1996, the Company settled an outstanding claim with Generale
Bank ("Generale"), as successor in interest to Credit Lyonnaise Bank Nederland
N.V. and Cinecom Entertainment Group, Inc. ("Cinecom"). Essentially, Cinecom had
claimed that the Company, through one of its subsidiaries (operating at the time
under the direction of prior management), had failed to remit to Cinecom
assigned distribution proceeds in the amount of $566,283.33 from the foreign
distribution of two films entitled "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" and "The
Handmaiden's Tale". Pursuant to the settlement agreement with Generale, the
Company agreed to pay to Generale the sum of $275,000 in complete satisfaction
of the claim, payable $25,000 upon execution of the settlement agreement,
$25,000 on each of June 30 and December 31 in the years 1997, 1998 and 1999, and
$100,000 on June 30, 2000. Interest on the installments (at the floating rate of
LIBOR plus 1% per annum) will be waived provided the Company remains in
compliance with the agreed upon payment schedule.
 
    SETTLEMENT WITH PRIOR COUNSEL:
 
    In January, 1997, prior counsel to the Company agreed to exchange a
promissory note in the face amount of $70,000 for 100,000 Shares of the
Company's Common Stock, provided such Shares were
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
Such Shares have been issued in exchange for the note upon the effectiveness of
this registration and are included herein for the benefit of prior counsel. See
"Selling Stockholders".
 
COMPETITION
 
    The entertainment industry generally, and the film industry in particular,
are highly competitive. The Company competes both for the acquisition of film
product to distribute in overseas markets as well as with other distributors for
the placement of its product with overseas subdistributors and users. The
Company's competition includes the smaller independent producers as well as the
major motion picture studios, many of which have their own in-house domestic and
international distribution departments. Many of the Company's competitors have
financial and other resources which are significantly greater than those
available to the Company.
 
    Management believes that the Company will be able to compete in this
environment as it continues to enjoy a favorable reputation overseas and, as a
result of the consolidation in the film industry, is one of relatively few
reliable overseas distributors of independently produced motion pictures.
 
OPERATIONS
 
    The Company's operations have been greatly reduced as a result of the
restructuring of the Company by new management. The Company maintains a single
office in Los Angeles (see "Properties") and maintains a staff of approximately
seven full-time employees and such additional part-time employees as may be
needed from time to time.
 
TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARD
 
    The Company is entitled to the benefits of certain net operating loss
carryforwards to reduce its tax liability. The utilization by the Company of
such tax loss carryforwards is limited under applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable regulations
promulgated thereunder. As of June 30, 1996, there were approximately $27
million in net operating loss carryforwards remaining to be used to reduce tax
liability. The utilization of approximately $4.9 million of these losses in
future periods will be limited to approximately $350,000 per year.
 
FACILITIES
 
    On May 9, 1996, the Company entered into a two year lease, commencing June
1, 1996, for office premises located at 1875 Century Park East, Suite 2130, Los
Angeles, California 90067. The monthly rental is $5,301 per month and the
premises consist of 3,272 square feet of rentable space. The Company conducts
all of its operations out of these leased premises, although Messrs. Greenwald,
Smith and Schneider, the principal executive officers of the Company, devote a
significant portion of their time to the Company's business out of their
respective New York offices without additional charge or expense to the Company
other than reimbursement of $1,000 per month to an affiliate of Mr. Greenwald
for the use of office space at 380 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York.
 
    Rent expense for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994
was $38,772, $297,287, and $489,559, respectively.
 
                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    On December 20, 1990, Hibbard Brown & Company, Inc. ("Hibbard Brown") filed
a complaint entitled HIBBARD BROWN & COMPANY, INC. V. DOUBLE HELIX FILMS, INC.,
ODYSSEY ENTERTAINMENT LTD. AND COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP. in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The Complaint sought
payment of $300,000 under an agreement with the Company, Odyssey,
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
Double Helix and Hibbard Brown dated December 21, 1989 for certain investment
banking services allegedly performed in introducing Odyssey and Double Helix and
assisting them in consummation of the Mergers by which they became wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company. A counterclaim seeking recovery of $50,000 paid to
Hibbard Brown upon execution of the Agreement was asserted.
 
    Hibbard Brown's motion for summary judgment was granted in October, 1991. On
January 30, 1992, the Company moved, by order to show cause, to renew and
thereupon deny, dismiss or stay Hibbard Brown's previously granted motion for
summary judgment on the ground that Hibbard Brown had intentionally concealed
the fact that it was an unauthorized foreign corporation transacting business in
New York. By Order dated March 2, 1992, the court granted the Company's motion
in part by renewing the action and staying judgment pending Hibbard Brown's
qualification in New York. On October 29, 1992, Hibbard Brown moved for an order
vacating the stay of judgment, a declaration that it was now an authorized
foreign corporation and reinstatement of the summary judgment granted in
October, 1991 or, in the alternative, to rehear its motion for summary judgment
on the original papers and grant judgment in its favor.
 
    On January 29, 1993, Double Helix, Odyssey and the Company cross-moved for
an order granting reargument and/or renewal of Hibbard Brown's motion for
summary judgment and consolidating the litigation with an action that the
Company had brought against Hibbard Brown (described below), or staying the
issuance, entry and execution of judgment pending the resolution and trial of
the Company's action against Hibbard Brown.
 
    On March 26, 1993, the court issued a Decision and Order vacating the stay
of entry of the $300,000 judgment against the Company and granting the Company's
cross-motion for a stay of execution pending the determination of the Company's
action against Hibbard Brown. The Company's cross-motions for reargument and
renewal and consolidation were denied.
 
    By Decision and Order dated June 18, 1993, the court affirmed the stay of
execution of the judgment, but required the Company to obtain a bond to secure
the stay. The Company obtained a non-collateral bond.
 
    On March 5, 1992, the Company instituted an action entitled COMMUNICATIONS
AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP. V. HIBBARD BROWN & COMPANY in the Supreme Court, New
York County, for the return of 150,000 shares of Common Stock previously issued
on the ground that Hibbard Brown failed to perform the required services.
Hibbard Brown counterclaimed for breach of contract.
 
    In July 1993, after considerable pre-trial discovery, the Company and
Hibbard Brown moved for summary judgment. By Decision and Order dated August 11,
1993, the court denied both motions. Both parties appealed. On March 3, 1994,
the appellate court affirmed the denial of summary judgment.
 
    On or about October 14, 1994, Hibbard Brown filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Code with the United
States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. Consequently, the
Company's action against Hibbard Brown has been automatically stayed. The
Company has filed a Proof of Claim.
 
    On or about December 30, 1994, Krishna Shah, who allegedly served as
President of Double Helix from about July 1991 until about March 1993, brought
an action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, entitled
KRISHNA SHAH V. NORMAN MULLER, COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP., ATC II,
CARNEGIE FILM GROUP, INC., JERRY MINSKY, PERRY SCHEER, SUSAN BENDER, LARRY
MYERS, ROBERT HESSE, DOUBLE HELIX FILMS, INC. AND DOES 1-100. Mr. Muller, a
former Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company, had demanded that the
Company indemnify him against any expenses, judgments and amounts paid in
settlement of the litigation. The Company contends that, by virtue of Mr.
Muller's wrongful actions and failure to comply with various obligations to the
Company, it is not required to provide indemnification. The Complaint alleges
claims for breach of an oral agreement to pay Mr. Shah $152,000 (which he
allegedly advanced for the benefit of Double Helix) and to give him a 19.5%
ownership interest in its
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
corporate successors, and money paid, services rendered and fraud against the
Company, Double Helix and Mr. Muller. Mr. Shah also alleges a claim for
intentional infliction of emotional distress against Mr. Muller. Mr. Shah seeks
to recover unspecified compensatory, punitive, exemplary and emotional distress
damages. A trial has been scheduled for February 1997.
 
    IN THE PRIVATE LESSONS PARTNERSHIP V. CARNEGIE FILM GROUP, INC., MONOGRAM
PICTURES CORP., FILMWAYS ENTERTAINMENT CORP., ATC, INC., KRISHNAH SHAH, LONNIE
ROMATI, GERALD MULLER, JERRY MINSKY AND DOES 1-100 (California Superior Court,
Los Angeles County, Case No. BC091840), the plaintiff asserted claims for breach
of oral contract, fraud in the inducement and fraudulent conveyance against Mr.
Shah, seeking damages in the amount of $315,000, plus further unspecified
compensatory damages and punitive damages. In August 1995, Mr. Shah filed a
cross-complaint against the Company, Double Helix Films and Norman Muller for
indemnification, apportionment of fault and declaratory relief. In addition to
compensatory damages, he seeks punitive and exemplary damages, emotional
distress damages and attorney's fees. The Company has answered the
cross-complaint and a trial has been scheduled for February 1997.
 
    In August 1995, G.P. Productions, Inc. ("GP") and Greenwich Subject Films,
Inc. ("Greenwich") commenced an action entitled G.P. PRODUCTIONS, INC. AND
GREENWICH STUDIOS, INC. V. DOUBLE HELIX FILMS, INC., COMMUNICATIONS AND
ENTERTAINMENT, INC., KRISHNA SHAW, GERALD MULLER AND NORMAN MULLER in the United
States District Court, Southern District of Florida (Case No. 95-1188). Mr.
Muller has demanded that the Company indemnify him against any expenses,
judgements and amounts paid in settlement of the action. The Company contends
that, by virtue of Mr. Muller's breaches of fiduciary duty and violation of his
obligations to the Company, it is not required to provide indemnification.
 
    GP and Greenwich allege that they are the exclusive owners of the films "The
Gallery" and "South Beach". They assert claims for copyright infringement,
unfair competition, breach of contract, accounting, conversion, civil theft,
conspiracy and fraudulent conveyance. The Complaint demands a recall of the
films, an attachment, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, an
accounting, and unspecified compensatory, punitive and treble damages. The
Company has made a motion to dismiss the action for lack of personal
jurisdiction and lack of venue. The motion is pending.
 
    On or about September 18, 1995, the agent for the landlord for the premises
formerly occupied by the Company at 800 Third Avenue, New York, New York, filed
a Summons and Verified Complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, County of New York, entitled JOSEPH P. DAY REALTY CORP. V.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP. The plaintiff alleged that it was due
$66,694 from the Company (plus interest) for rent allegedly owed during the
period from April through September, 1995. The Company had vacated the premises
on April 12, 1995. Summary judgment was awarded to the plaintiff on May 22, 1996
and a judgment was entered for $74,142 on May 31, 1996. The Company's motion for
reconsideration of the matter on the grounds that the landlord wrongfully
refused to consider and accept a subtenant for the lease was denied by the Court
and is currently under appeal. In December, 1996, the Company made application
for a stay of enforcement of the judgment pending the Company's appeal. Such
application is currently pending before the court. On July 8, 1996, the
plaintiff commenced a second action against the Company in the same court for
$121,000 for rent allegedly owed during the period from October 1995 through
July 1996. The Company has filed an Answer in this action and plaintiff has
filed a motion for summary judgment. Such motion is being opposed by the Company
and is currently pending before the Court.
 
    On or about October 10, 1995, Canon Financial Services filed a Complaint in
the Superior Court of New Jersey entitled CANON FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. V.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP. The plaintiff is claiming that it is due
$47,499.83, plus damages, pursuant to a lease agreement. The Company has filed
an Answer in this action and plaintiff's motion for summary judgment has been
denied by the Court. No trial date has yet been set in this matter.
 
    On or about December 5, 1995, Robert F. Ferraro, a former director of the
Company, brought an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State
of New York, New York County. The action
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
was brought on a promissory note in the amount of $25,000 and plaintiff obtained
a judgment on a summary judgment motion. The plaintiff has not yet moved to
enforce the judgment and the Company is considering whether or not it has a
claim for indemnification against prior management (including the plaintiff) in
connection with the issuance of the note.
 
    On or about January 23, 1996, an action was filed in the Los Angeles
Superior Court entitled GREENBERG, GLUSKER, FIELDS, CLAMAN & MACHTINGER V.
ODYSSEY DISTRIBUTORS LTD., ODYSSEY ENTERTAINMENT LTD. AND COMMUNICATIONS AND
ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION, in which the plaintiff seeks damages in the amount of
$33,849.98 for legal services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries. The
complaint was served on the Company on April 30, 1996; the Company has filed an
Answer in this action and a trial has been scheduled for May, 1997.
 
    On or about March 12, 1996, an action was filed in Los Angeles Municipal
Court entitled JUDY HART V. ODYSSEY DISTRIBUTORS, LTD. The plaintiff is claiming
that she is due $17,920.49 pursuant to a promissory note previously issued to
her by the Company. The Company has filed a cross-claim against the plaintiff
seeking offsets against the amount due and other damages.
 
    On or about March 25, 1996, a class action complaint was filed in Los
Angeles Superior Court entitled DENNIS BLEWITT V. N. NORMAN MULLER, JERRY
MINSKY, DORIAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT
CORPORATION. The complaint seeks damages in connection with the Company's
treatment in its financial statements of the disposition of its Double Helix
subsidiary in June 1991. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of
all persons who purchased shares of the Company's common stock from and after
June 1992. The complaint was served on the Company on or about July 8, 1996. The
Company has made a motion to dismiss the action both on procedural and
substantive grounds and a hearing on the motion has been scheduled for January
23, 1997. In connection with this matter, Mr. Muller has demanded that the
Company indemnify him against any expenses, judgments, and amount paid in
settlement of the litigation. The Company contends that, by virtue of Mr.
Muller's wrongful actions and failure to comply with various obligations to the
Company, it is not required to provide such indemnification.
 
    On March 11, 1996, the Company and Film Bridge International, Inc. ("Film
Bridge") executed a memorandum regarding the proposed formation of a joint
venture for the purpose of acquiring and exploiting film distribution rights.
Shortly thereafter, the Company advised Film Bridge that it was terminating the
proposed joint venture but desired to enter into negotiations for a consulting
agreement with Film Bridge. Negotiations continued until August, 1996 but did
not result in a new agreement between the parties. On September 18, 1996, Film
Bridge filed a complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court, entitled FILM
BRIDGE INTERNATIONAL V. COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP., AND DOES 1
THROUGH 50, INCLUSIVE, contending that the Company had breached the terms of the
proposed joint venture agreement with Film Bridge. Although not specifically
stated in the Complaint, Film Bridge had taken the position in correspondence
prior to the filing of the Complaint that the distribution rights to certain
films (including "Sudden Manhattan", "By the Sea of Crystal", "Fifth Freedom"
and "Dark Angel 2", among others) were subject to the proposed joint venture
arrangement between the parties.
 
    Although Film Bridge filed its Complaint in September, 1996, it failed to
serve a copy of the Complaint on the Company. From mid-September through
December, 1996, the Company and Film Bridge engaged in discussions regarding the
allocation of their respective interests in the film distribution rights
allegedly held by the joint venture, but without resolution. Accordingly, on
December 19, 1996, the Company filed a cross-complaint against Film Bridge
alleging that, since the end of June, 1996, Film Bridge had failed to furnish
the Company with a proper accounting of its revenues and expenses in connection
with the sale to foreign licensees of various films in which the Company had an
interest (including "Wuthering Heights", among others) and had failed to make
payment of at least $450,000 to the Company for monies due and owing to the
Company from the foreign sales of such films. On December 23, 1996, Film Bridge
filed an amended complaint against the Company adding one of the Company's
subsidiaries as a party to the action and contending that the Company breached
certain provisions of a
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
January 1996 film sales agreement with Film Bridge. The Company intends to
defend this litigation vigorously in all respects.
 
    On November 21, 1996, Jerry Silva, a former director of the Company,
commenced two actions against the Company, one in the Supreme Court of the State
of New York, and one in the Civil Court of the State of New York. The Supreme
Court action was commenced with the filing of a Summons with Notice, and the
Company has filed a Notice of Appearance. The plaintiff has not yet filed a
formal Complaint, although based on the Summons with Notice, it appears that the
Complaint will seek money damages in the amount of $500,000 for indemnification
of plaintiff as a past officer and director of the Company, unjust enrichment,
tortious interference with plaintiff's rights to sell his shares in the Company,
and attorneys fees. The Civil Court matter is an action to collect on a
promissory note in the amount of $22,500, plus attorneys fees. The Company
intends to vigorously contest both actions and to assert affirmative defenses
and counterclaims for fraud in the inducement, failure of consideration and
breach of fiduciary duty.
 
    On November 21, 1996, the law firm of Halperin, Klein & Halperin (counsel to
Mr. Silva) commenced an action against the Company in the Civil Court of the
State of New York on a returned check in the amount of $5,000 for legal services
allegedly rendered to the Company. The check was originally issued to plaintiff
in April, 1995 in connection with the change of control of the Company at that
time. The Company has filed an Answer in the action and intends to defend the
matter on the basis of a failure of consideration.
 
    Other than the foregoing, there are no material legal proceedings pending to
which the Company is a party or pursuant to which any of its properties is
subject.

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT CONTROL
 
    A change in the entire Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board")

dated as of March 31, 1995 (the "Settlement Agreement"), by and among Robert
Hesse, Shane O'Neil, Lawrence I. Schneider, Henry N. Schneider, Robert E.
Miller, Jr., Russell T. Stern, Jr. (collectively, the "CECO Shareholders
Committee"), and the Company, Global Intellicom, Inc., and each of Jerry Silva,
Robert Ferraro, N. Norman Muller, Thomas W. Smith and David A. Mortman
(constituting all the directors of the Company at the time of the execution of
the Settlement Agreement and hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Former
Directors") and others.
 
    As contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, on April 11, 1995, the Former
Directors increased the size of the Board from five to six directors and elected
Henry N. Schneider, a designee of the CECO Shareholders Committee, a new
director effective upon the closing of the Settlement Agreement. The closing of
the Settlement Agreement occurred on April 12, 1995 and, upon the closing, the
resignations of the Former Directors became effective. After the closing, Henry
N. Schneider, as the sole remaining director of the Company, elected Lawrence I.
Schneider, Russell T. Stern, Jr., Patrick J. Haynes, III and Robert E. Miller,

Company originally formed to effect a change in the Company's management. The
CECO Shareholders Committee disbanded upon the closing of the Settlement
Agreement. Effective September 8, 1995, each of Messrs. Haynes, Henry N.

(1) Messrs. Greenwald, Smith and Schneider each deferred $75,000 of their annual
    compensation during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 pursuant to the
    terms of their respective compensation agreements with the Company. Pursuant
    to such agreements, Messrs. Greenwald, Smith and Schneider were issued
    convertible promissory notes for the amount of such deferred compensation,
    payable in full within twelve months from the date of issue with interest at
    2% over prime. Such notes were converted into shares of Common Stock of the
    Company on June 10 and June 30, 1996 at the average closing bid price in
    effect for the Common Stock for the 10-day trading period immediately
    preceding the date of each respective election. On June 10, $60,000 of each
    note (plus accrued interest) was converted into 83,120 shares of Common
    Stock at a price of $.75 per share, and on June 30, $15,000 of each note was

REPRICING OF OPTIONS
 
    On December 2, 1996, the Board of Directors voted to lower the exercise
price of the following Warrants to $1.00 per share to create further incentives
for management of the Company and to bring the warrant exercise price into line
with Warrants granted to other parties performing services for the Company: With
respect to Lawrence Schneider, 8,333 Warrants granted in April, 1995 at an
exercise price of $3.91 per share; 16,667 Warrants granted in October, 1995 at
an exercise price of $2.83 per share; and 200,000 Warrants granted in March,
1996 at an exercise price of $1.87 per share; with respect to Robert Miller,
8,333 Warrants granted in April, 1995 at an exercise price of $3.91 per share;
33,333 Warrants granted in October, 1995 at an exercise price of $2.83 per
share; and 25,000 Warrants granted in March, 1996 at an exercise price of $1.87
per share; with respect to each of Ira Smith and G&H Media, Ltd. (an affiliate
of Stephen R. Greenwald), 16,667 Warrants granted in October, 1995 at an
exercise price of $2.83 per share; and 200,000 Warrants granted in March, 1996
at an exercise price of $1.87 per share; and with respect to Josh Grode, 33,333
Warrants granted in March, 1996 at an exercise price of $1.87 per share. The
closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on December 2, 1996 was $.69 per
share.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
    The Company does not have any standard arrangements pursuant to which
directors of the Company are compensated for services provided as a director.
Nevertheless, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, Messrs. Schneider,
Greenwald and Smith were each issued 16,667 stock options in consideration of
serving on the Board of Directors of the Company. Such options are exercisable
for the three year period commencing October 28, 1995 at an original exercise
price of $2.83 per share (subsequently lowered to
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
$1.00 per share by action of the Board in December 1996). In addition, during
the 1996 fiscal year, the Board of Directors granted to Robert Miller, the only
outside director on the Company's Board of Directors, stock options to purchase
25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.875 per
share (subsequently lowered to $1.00 per share by action of the Board in
December, 1996). Such options were issued on March 6, 1996 and are exercisable
for the five-year period ending March 6, 2001. Mr. Miller abstained on the
voting which authorized the issuance of such stock options to Mr. Miller.
 
    All directors are entitled to reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred
in attending Board of Directors' meetings.
 
COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
  ARRANGEMENTS.
 
    On October 1, 1995, Messrs. Greenwald, Smith and Schneider executed
compensation agreements with the Company (the "Agreements") pursuant to which
the named parties agreed to render management services to the Company for a
three year period ending October 1, 1998. Pursuant to these Agreements, each of
the parties agreed to serve as a Co-Chairman in the Office of the Chairman of
the Company and, in addition, Mr. Greenwald agreed to serve as Chief Executive
Officer. (In March, 1996, Mr. Smith also agreed to serve as President of the
Company). The Agreements were superseded by agreements executed on March 6,
1996. The subsequent agreements (also defined as the "Agreements") were
substantially identical to the original Agreements in all material respects with
respect to cash compensation but modified the provisions regarding the issuance
of stock options. (In the subsequent Agreement with Mr. Greenwald, the named
party is G & H Media, Ltd. rather than Mr. Greenwald individually; G & H Media,
Ltd. is a consulting firm of which Mr. Greenwald is a principal and controlling
party).
 
    The Agreements provide for compensation at the rate of $15,000 per month,
$20,000 per month and $25,000 per month during the first, second and third years
of the respective terms of the Agreements. In addition, in the event the annual
budget and income projections of the Board are met for any 12 month period
during the term of the Agreements, then each party will be entitled to receive
one-third of 2% of the budgeted gross income for such twelve month period, and
an additional one-third of 5% of the gross income, if any, in excess of the
budgeted gross income. Messrs. Greenwald, Smith & Schneider have agreed to defer
the implementation of the bonus provisions of the Agreements until the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1998.
 
    In the event any Agreement is terminated due to death or disability, then
the estate of the decedent or the representatives of the disabled party will be
entitled to receive full compensation for the greater of twelve months or the
balance of the term of the Agreement.
 
    Each of Messrs. Greenwald, Smith and Schneider agreed that with respect to
each calendar quarter during the term of his respective Agreement, the following
percentage of his compensation would be paid: (i) no payment if the current
assets of the Company as of the end of the previous calendar quarter are less
than $500,000; (ii) one-third if the current assets as of the end of the
previous calendar are more than $500,000, but less than $1,000,000; (iii)
two-thirds if the current assets as of the end of the previous calendar quarter
are more than $1,000,000 but less than $1,500,000; and (iv) full payment if the
current assets as of the end of the previous calendar quarter are more than
$1,500,000. For purposes of the Agreement, "current assets" are defined as
accounts and contract receivables due within 12 months plus cash and cash
equivalents. Any portion of the compensation not paid would be deferred and
would be paid in twelve months with interest pursuant to a promissory note
issued by the Company, provided that the note could be converted into Common
Stock of the Company at any time prior to payment in full at the average closing
bid price in effect for the Common Stock for the 10-day trading period
immediately preceding the date of the conversion election.
 
    During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, each of Messrs. Greenwald, Smith
and Schneider deferred 100% of their compensation for the quarter, or $45,000
each. During each of the next two quarters, they deferred one-third of their
compensation, or a total of $30,000 each. On June 10 and
 
                                       38
<PAGE>
June 30, 1996, each of Messrs. Greenwald, Smith and Schneider converted their
deferred compensation notes of $75,000 (plus accrued interest) into a total of
102,351 shares of Common Stock at prices of $.75 and $.78 per share,
respectively. On September 30, 1996, they each converted deferred compensation
notes of $15,000 for the quarter then ended into a total of 26,316 Shares of
Common Stock at a conversion price of $.57 per Share. For the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, they each deferred $25,832 of additional compensation, none
of which has yet been converted into Common Stock of the Company. See "Executive
Compensation."
 
    The Agreements also provided for the issuance of 200,000 stock options to
each of Messrs. Greenwald, Smith and Schneider, exercisable during the five year
period commencing March 6, 1996 at an exercise price of $1.875 per share
(subsequently lowered to $1.00 per share by action of the Board in December
1996). See "Options/Stock Appreciation Rights."
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER
  PARTICIPATION
 
    Executive officer compensation is determined by the entire Board of
Directors, consisting of Messrs. Greenwald, Smith, Schneider and Miller. The
Board has not appointed or designated a separate compensation committee to
determine or set executive compensation. With the exception of Robert Miller,
all members of the Board of Directors are executive officers of the Company and
all are subject to compensation agreements containing substantially the same
terms and provisions. See "Compensation Agreements, Termination of Employment
and Change-in-Control Arrangements." The Board's executive compensation policy
is intended to attract and retain key executives, compensate them at appropriate
levels and provide them with both cash and equity incentives to enhance the
Company's value for all of its stockholders. Although the compensation
agreements entered into by Messrs. Greenwald, Smith and Schneider were not
determined by arms-length negotiation between such individuals and the Company,
the Board of Directors believes that the compensation paid to such individuals
is comparable to, if not less than, the compensation paid to executives of other
comparable companies in the film and entertainment industry.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
    Lawrence I. Schneider, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and
one of three Co-Chairmen in the Office of the Chairman of the Company, is a
principal of Global Capital Resources, Inc., a New York based financial
consulting services firm ("Global Capital"). During the 11 month period from
May, 1995 through March, 1996, Global Capital rendered financial consulting
services to the Company in connection with the change of management control of
the Company. Such services were rendered to the Company at the agreed upon rate
of $15,000 per month. However, in order to conserve the cash resources of the
Company, Global Capital agreed to accept stock options from the Company in lieu
of a cash payment. On March 6, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company (with
Mr. Schneider abstaining from the voting) authorized the issuance to Global
Capital of stock options to purchase 83,333 shares of Common Stock of the
Company, exercisable over a five-year period at the exercise price of $1.875 per
share. Global Capital has not rendered any additional services to the Company
since March, 1996 and is not under any contract or agreement to do so.
 
    On August 1, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company offered to
reimburse the members of the CECO Shareholders Committee in kind for all
expenses incurred by such members in connection with the change of management
control of the Company effected in April, 1995. (See "Change in Control"). The
Board offered to reimburse such expenses by issuing stock options to the
committee members in an amount equal to one and one-third times the amount of
such expenses. Robert Miller, a director of the Company, agreed to accept
options to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, exercisable
over a five-year period at an exercise price of $.75 per share, representing the
then current market price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. In
exchange, Mr. Miller released his claim for reimbursement of approximately
$30,000 of expenses incurred by Mr. Miller in connection with the change of
control. Lawrence I. Schneider, a director of the Company and also a member of
the CECO Shareholders Committee, has not agreed to accept options in lieu of his
claim for reimbursement of expenses in connection with the change of control.
 
    During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the law firm of Herbst &
Greenwald, of which Mr. Greenwald, a director of the Company, is a member,
received fees for legal services rendered to the Company in the amount of
$2,500. During the six month period ended December 31, 1996, such firm received
additional fees for legal services rendered to the Company in the amount of
$17,949.

    relationships with each other, and therefore there exists the possibility
    that all of the Equity Investors, or at least a substantial majority of
    them, may act as a group with respect to their Shares. To the extent they do
    act in concert or otherwise as a group, together they would control
    1,000,000 Shares of the Company, or 22.7% of the outstanding Shares of the
    Company, without giving effect to the exercise of their Warrants; if all
    2,000,000 of their Warrants were exercised, they would then control up to a
    maximum of 46.9% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. Whether or not
    their Warrants are exercised, if such investors act in concert or otherwise
    as a group, there exists the possibility that they would control a
    sufficient number of votes to effect a change in control of the Company. See
    "Risk Factors".
 
(8) Includes presently exercisable options to purchase 1,183,333 shares of
    Common Stock.

    Shares are not being registered hereunder.
 
(2) Assumes the sale of all Shares covered by this Prospectus.
 
(3) Each of the following ten Equity Investors owns 100,000 Shares of Common
    Stock, 100,000 Class A Warrants, and 100,000 Class B Warrants: David

    Pollack, Joel Shaffrin, Meyer Jeger, Bob Lindenbaum, Goihman Terise and Horn
    Shimie.
 
(4) The Exchanging Noteholders consist of the following persons: William M.
    Tucker (50,000 Shares), Ken Chamberlin (100,000 Shares), Harold Fogelquist
    (50,000 Shares), Martha & Craig London (50,000 Shares), Lois & Alan Bauer
    (50,000 Shares), Jack Spitzer (100,000 Shares), Brian & Helen Meyers (50,000

    (50,000 Shares).
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
    The Shares covered by this Prospectus are being registered by the Company
for the respective accounts of the Selling Stockholders. The Equity Investors
will pay the first $50,000 of expenses incurred by the Company in registering
the Shares, and the Company will pay the balance of such expenses, estimated at
approximately an additional $75,000. Although the Company will receive proceeds
upon exercise of Warrants by the Equity Investors, the Company will not receive
any of the proceeds from sales of Shares by the Selling Stockholders. The
Company understands that none of such Shares will be offered through
underwriters.
 
    The Shares may be offered and sold from time to time as market conditions
permit in the over-the-counter market at prices and terms then prevailing or at
prices related to the then-current market price, or in privately negotiated
transactions. The Shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods,
without limitation: (a) a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged
will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion
of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a
broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and (d) face-to-face
transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/ dealer. In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Such brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
Selling Stockholders in amounts to be negotiated. Such brokers and dealers and
any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. As of
the date of this Prospectus, the Company understands that the Selling
Stockholders do not have any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any
brokers or dealers concerning the distribution of their respective shares.
 
                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share. As of the date of this Prospectus, there were outstanding
4,394,846 shares of Common Stock.
 
    Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any Preferred Stock (as
hereinafter defined) outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares
of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally
available therefor at such time and in such amounts as the Board may, from time
to time, determine in its sole discretion. Holders of Common Stock are also
entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The Common Stock is not entitled to
preemptive rights and is not subject to redemption. Upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets legally available for
distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the
Common Stock and of any participating Preferred Stock outstanding at that time
after payment of the liquidation preferences, if any, on all outstanding
Preferred Stock and payment of creditors' claims. Each outstanding share of
Common Stock is fully paid and nonassessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
    The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par
value $.10 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), from time to time in one or more
series. As of the date of this Prospectus, there were no shares of Preferred
Stock outstanding.
 
    The Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of Preferred Stock in
one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be
included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of
the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any
such series (but not below the number of shares of such series then
outstanding), without any further vote or action by stockholders. The Board may
authorize and issue Preferred Stock with voting or conversion rights that could
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common
Stock, because the terms of the Preferred Stock that might be issued could
conceivably prohibit the Company's consummation of any merger, reorganization,
sale of substantially all its assets, liquidation or other extraordinary
corporate transaction, absent approval of the outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock. Thus, the issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company. The Company has no
current plan to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.
 
OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
 
    The Company presently has outstanding a total of 3,884,500 options and
warrants, exercisable at prices ranging from $.625 per share to $18.96 per
share. Of the 3,625,000 shares of Common Stock to be offered pursuant to this
Prospectus, included therein are shares of Common Stock underlying 2,000,000 of
the Company's outstanding warrants (see "Selling Stockholders").
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS
 
    The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of the
Company's officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. As
permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation also provide that directors of the Company shall not be personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law, or (ii) under certain sections of Nevada law relating to
prohibited dividends or distributions. As a result of this provision, the
Company and its stockholders may be unable to obtain monetary damages from a
director for breach of his or her duty of care to the Company. The foregoing
provision of the Articles of Incorporation may reduce the likelihood of
derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter stockholders
or management from instituting a lawsuit against directors for breaches of their
fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if successful, otherwise might
have benefited the Company and its stockholders.
 
DIVIDEND POLICY
 
    Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared and paid from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available therefor. The Company intends to retain any earnings for the
operation and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the payment
of cash dividends will depend upon future earnings, results of operations,
capital requirements, the Company's financial condition and such other factors
as the Board of Directors may consider.
 
NOTES AND LOANS PAYABLE
 
    On July 15, 1997, $179,000 in principal amount of 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures will become due. When originally issued in July, 1987,
the debentures were convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at
the conversion price of $12.50 per share. After giving effect to changes in the
capitalization of the Company since the issuance of the debentures, and the
one-for-six Reverse Split in March, 1996, the current conversion price for the
debentures is approximately $117.65 per share.
 
    In April, 1995, the Company issued a note in the principal amount of $70,000
to its outside counsel for legal services rendered. The note was repayable in
October, 1995, together with interest at the rate of 7%. In February 1996, the
noteholder agreed to extend the due date to December 31, 1996. In connection
with the extension, the Company granted warrants to purchase 16,667 shares of
the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.88 per share, exercisable
over a three year period. In January, 1997, the note was exchanged for 100,000
Shares of the Company's Common Stock, which Shares are included in this
offering. See "Selling Stockholders."
 
    In August and October of 1995, the Company concluded a private placement
pursuant to which it issued unsecured promissory notes to unaffiliated investors
in the aggregate amount of $312,500. The notes have a maturity date of one year
and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. A total of 6.25 units were sold
at a purchase price of $50,000 per unit. In addition, warrants were issued to
the purchasers at the rate of 4,167 warrants for each unit sold, or a total of
26,042 warrants (on a post Reverse Split basis). Each warrant certificate
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise
price of either $2.83 per share (the August warrants) or $2.37 per share (the
October warrants) over a three year period commencing one year after the closing
of the private placement. After paying expenses and commissions of $42,500, the
Company received net proceeds of $270,000 from the private placement. The notes
issued in the private placement were due to be paid by the Company upon their
respective due dates on August 28 and October 3, 1996. The Company has made a
proposal to the noteholders which would involve the payment of current interest
and either the deferral of the maturity date of the notes (the first proposal)
or the cancellation of the notes in their entirety (the second proposal), in
each case in exchange
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
for varying amounts of registered stock of the Company. In the first proposal,
the maturity date of the notes would be deferred until December 15, 1997 and the
warrants would be exchanged for registered shares in an amount equal to 20% of
the principal amount of the notes, with shares valued at $.75 per share. In the
second proposal, the notes and warrants would be cancelled and the notes would
be exchanged for registered shares in an amount equal to 150% of the principal
amount of the notes, with shares valued at $.75 per share. As of the date of
this Prospectus, noteholders representing $262,500 in principal amount of the
notes have elected the second proposal, resulting in the issuance of an
aggregate of 525,000 Shares of Common Stock to the Exchanging Noteholders, which
Shares are included in the within offering. See "Selling Stockholders." The
remaining notes for $50,000 (held by a single investor) have not been paid and
are in default. (See "Risk Factors"). The Company has paid current interest on
all of the notes through the first anniversary date of the respective notes.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
    The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock of the Company, and
the indenture agent for the 6% notes due in July, 1997, is Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, Two Broadway, New York, New York 10004.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    There will be 4,394,846 shares of Common Stock outstanding upon consummation
of the offering, excluding shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants
granted by the Company to the Equity Investors, to officers, directors,
employees and other third parties. With the exception of 457,896 Shares held by
affiliates of the Company ("Affiliate Shares"), and 36,213 restricted shares
held by non-affiliates of the Company for a period of less than three years, all
such shares are freely tradeable either because they were originally registered
in a public offering, have been held by their respective owners for a period in
excess of three years (and therefore are eligible for sale in the public
markets), or are being registered in this offering. The remaining shares will
only be eligible for sale in accordance with the resale limitations of Rule 144
("Rule 144") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. In addition, there are outstanding options and warrants to
purchase a total of 3,884,500 shares of Common Stock, of which 2,000,000 Shares
are being registered pursuant to this offering for the account of the Equity
Investors and will be available for sale in the open market without restriction
upon exercise of the Warrants relating thereto. Upon exercise of the remaining
warrants, the Shares issuable thereunder will only be eligible for sale in
accordance with the resale limitations of Rule 144, or pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
 
    In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at
least two years, including persons who may be deemed "affiliates" of the
Company, will be entitled to sell in any three-month period a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock
during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the date on which notice of
the sale is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sales pursuant to
Rule 144 are also subject to certain other requirements relating to manner of
sale, notice and availability of current public information about the Company. A
person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been
an affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately
preceding the sale is entitled to sell restricted shares pursuant to Rule 144(k)
without regard to the limitations described above, provided that three years
have expired since the later of the date on which such restricted shares were
first acquired from the Company or from an affiliate of the Company.
 
    No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
shares of Common Stock, or the availability of shares for future sale, pursuant
to either Rule 144, this Prospectus, future registration
 
                                       46
<PAGE>
statements, or otherwise, will have on the market price of shares of Common
Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock
(including the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options), or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market
prices for the Common Stock.

    The validity of the securities being offered hereby and certain other legal

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
                                PRICE WATERHOUSE
 
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of
Communications and Entertainment Corp.
 
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Communications and Entertainment Corp. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinon on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
 
As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has defaulted
on payments due in August and October 1996 relating to notes payable. The
Company has proposed to the noteholders to defer the maturity of the notes and
exchange existing warrants for shares, or to cancel the notes in their entirety
in exchange for shares. Both proposals are subject to registration statements
becoming effective. As of October 6, 1996 several noteholders had accepted the
first proposal and one noteholder had accepted the second proposal; however as
some noteholders have not accepted either of the proposals, the ultimate outcome
of this matter cannot be determined at present.
 
As dicussed in Note 11, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits. The
Company has filed several counteractions and preliminary hearings and discovery
proceedings on several actions are in progress. The ultimate outcome of the
litigation cannot be determined at present. Not all liabilities that may result
upon adjudication have been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations,
has a net capital deficiency and has insufficient working capital to meet its
current obligations and liquidity needs. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

                              (FORMERLY KNOWN AS)
                     COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority owned or controlled joint ventures.
All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
 
    In March 1989, the Company entered into a joint venture pursuant to which
the Company and a non-affiliated entity co-financed and co-produced a theatrical
motion picture entitled "Q&A", in which the Company had a 50.01% ownership
interest. In March 1990, the Company entered into two 50% joint ventures (in
which the Company exercised contractual control) with the same entity to acquire
the foreign distribution rights of and distribute two motion pictures, "Switch"
and "Guilty By Suspicion". In December 1991, the Company entered into a 50%
joint venture (in which the Company exercised control) with the same entity to
acquire the foreign distribution rights of and to distribute the motion picture
"This Boy's Life". The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint
ventures have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company. Minority interests in operations and in net assets in these joint
ventures have been included in film costs and due to producers and participants
in the consolidated statements of operations and of financial condition,
respectively. In January 1996, the Company sold its interests in the joint
ventures (See Note 4).
 
    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to
the current year presentation.
 
    B) REVENUE RECOGNITION:
 
    Revenues from foreign theatrical, home video, television and pay television
licensing contracts are recognized when the film is available for exhibition by
the licensee and when certain other conditions are met. Revenues from domestic
theatrical distribution of films are recognized as the films are exhibited.
 
    Virtually all of the Company's revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996 and approximately 62% of the revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995, were from foreign distribution rights. For fiscal 1996, approximately
50.2% of revenues were derived from one picture. One picture accounted for
approximately 28.3 % of revenues for the year ended June 30, 1995. For the year
ended June 30, 1994, four movies, all of which were produced by HBO, accounted
for 23.5%, 21.3%, 19.3% and 16.8% of revenues.
 
    C) FUNDS HELD IN JOINT VENTURE ACCOUNTS:
 
    Funds held in joint venture accounts represent cash in accounts which
require signatures of both joint venture partners for withdrawals. Sufficient
balances are maintained in the accounts to cover estimated obligations for
residuals and profit participations relating to motion pictures produced under
the joint ventures.
 
    D) FILM COSTS:
 
    Film costs include (1) cost of production, (2) investment in distribution
rights, (3) marketing and distribution expenses, and (4) development costs. Film
costs are amortized, and estimated residual and participation costs are accrued,
on an individual film basis in the ratio that the current year's gross film
revenues bear to management's estimate of total ultimate gross film revenues
from all sources.

                     COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
 
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
    Film costs are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value
on an individual film basis. Ultimate revenue and cost forecasts for films are
periodically reviewed by management and revised when warranted by changing
conditions. When estimates of total revenues and costs indicate that a film will
result in an ultimate loss, additional amortization is provided to fully
recognize such loss.
 
    E) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
    Depreciation of property and equipment is provided by the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives of up to eight years.
 
    Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of renewals and
betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any
resultant gain or loss is included in current year operations.
 
    F) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:
 
    Earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the respective periods, adjusted for the
dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options and warrants. On March 6,
1996, the Board of Directors announced a one-for-six reverse stock split (the
"Reverse Stock Split") which became effective on March 18, 1996. For comparative
purposes, the number of weighted average common shares outstanding and loss per
share reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, and
share data included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, have
been adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all periods
presented.
 
    G) USE OF ESTIMATES:
 
    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    H) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
    The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity.
 
    I) IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
 
    In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS 121"). This
Statement establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of and goodwill related
to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. FAS 121 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company will
apply this Statement beginning in fiscal 1997. The adoption of FAS 121 is not
expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
 
    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation ("FAS 123"). This statement establishes methods of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans. FAS 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
after December 15, 1995. The Company expects to continue to apply Accounting
Principles Board Opinion 25 for measurement of stock compensation and will
provide the disclosure required by FAS 123 beginning in fiscal 1997. The
adoption of FAS 123 is not expected to have a material effect on the financial
statements of the Company.
 
    J) The accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 1996, the statements of
operations and of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
1996, and the statement of shareholders' equity(deficit) for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these
statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial
statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim
period. The Company's results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any
other interim period or the full year. The data disclosed in these notes to
financial statements at such date and for such periods are also unaudited.
 
2. CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT CONTROL:
 
    In January 1995, a group of shareholders of the Company (the "CECO
Shareholders Committee") launched an effort to change the senior management and
Board of Directors of the Company.
 
    Pursuant to a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") dated as of
March 31, 1995, among the members of the CECO Shareholders Committee, the
Company, the Company's subsidiary, Odyssey Entertainment Ltd. ("Odyssey"),
Global Intellicom, Inc. and each of the directors of the Company at the time of
signing, a change in the entire Board of Directors occurred on April 12, 1995.
 
3. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS:
 
    The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve
its liquidity problems. The Company must achieve and sustain a profitable level
of operations with positive cash flows and must continue to obtain financing
adequate to meet its ongoing operation requirements.
 
    Operations for the year ended June 30, 1996 resulted in a loss primarily due
to a loss of approximately $3.3 million on the sale of the Company's interest in
joint ventures relating to four theatrical motion pictures, and due to
insufficient revenues to offset normal expenses.
 
    Since the change in management control in April 1995, new management has
embarked on a program to reverse the unfavorable results by significantly
reducing overhead, taking steps to recapitalize the Company, and acquiring
rights to existing film libraries and new pictures in development or pre-
production.
 
    Overhead has been significantly reduced by closing the New York office and
by making significant reductions in personnel related costs.
 
    In August and October 1995, the Company received net proceeds of $219,250
and $50,750, respectively, from the private placement of an aggregate of
$312,500 principal amount of 12% Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes (See Note
10).
 
    In January 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest
in joint ventures relating to four theatrical motion pictures pursuant to which
it received net proceeds of $1,500,000 (See Note 4).

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
3. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS: (CONTINUED)
    In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to grant subdistribution rights in, and to sell other
distribution rights to, certain films in the Company's film library. In exchange
for these rights, the Company will receive a total cash consideration of
$1,075,000, payable $500,000 on closing, $275,000 six months after closing, and
$300,000 eighteen months after the closing. In addition, the Company will retain
a continuing right to receive revenues from certain of the films, valued by
management at a minimum of approximately $150,000. Additionally, the purchaser
will provide the Company with a $500,000 revolving line of credit to be secured
by accounts receivable and other contractual rights acquired by the Company. As
part of the transaction, the Company will grant 100,000 stock options,
exercisable over a three year period at the bid price of the Company's common
stock in effect on August 5, 1996 ($.625). The transaction closed on October 7,
1996 (See Note 15).
 
    In September 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with an
unaffiliated third party for the purchase of 1 million shares of the Company's
common stock in consideration for $750,000 cash and warrants to purchase up to 2
million shares of common stock (See Note 15).
 
    During fiscal 1996, the Company acquired rights in twenty one films,
including eleven completed films, nine of which were disposed of in accordance
with the August 1996 agreement discussed above, and ten new films, which will be
available for distribution in 1997. Additionally, the Company has entered into
certain "first-look" and "second-look" agreements with film producers with
respect to new film projects. The amount that the Company has expended with
regards to these pictures is minimal. Generally the films that the company
represents are financed by the producers of the film, through independent bank
financing, utilizing the license agreements generated by the Company as
collateral for production loans. The Company has assumed no financial obligation
with respect to these pictures as of this date, except for commitments for
writing services in the amount of $40,000 of which $20,000 has already been
paid.
 
4. SALE OF JOINT VENTURE ASSETS:
 
    As of January 2, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Agreement") with Regency International Pictures, B.V., its joint venture
partner, to sell its interest in the related joint ventures through which it
held approximately 50% ownership interests in four theatrical motion pictures,
entitled "Q&A," "Switch", "Guilty By Suspicion" and "This Boy's Life." The joint
venture is defined as the distribution agreements related to the aforementioned
four motion pictures. Individual agreements were created to finance, produce and
distribute each picture and to share in revenues generated from the exploitation
of them. Joint venture pictures were accounted for in the same manner as any
other picture that the Company distributed. Pursuant to the Agreement, the
Company received $1,500,000 in exchange for all of its interest in the net
assets and obligations of the joint ventures. In addition, the Company retained
a contingent interest in certain receivables, not to exceed $212,500, and a
contingent interest in future revenues from the pictures.
 
    Results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 reflect
write-downs of approximately $3,262,000 in the carrying value of the Company's
interest in the films as a result of the consummation of the transaction.
 
5. INVESTMENT IN GLOBAL INTELLICOM, INC.:
 
    On December 8, 1994, the Company acquired 3,300,000 shares of Global
Intellicom, Inc. ("Global") and subsidiaries, a Nevada corporation, for
$1,000,000, representing 66% of Global's 5,000,000 outstanding

shares of common stock. Simultaneously and pursuant to a contract of sale
entered into by Tech Acquisition Corp. ("Tech") (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Global) on October 28, 1994, Global purchased certain net assets of AMCOM
Business Centers Corp.("AMCOM") (a Pennsylvania corporation) subject to certain
liabilities and obligations. On December 8, 1994 Tech changed its name to AMCOM
Business Centers Corp.
 
    AMCOM is a wholesale distributor of computer hardware and related products
and serves customers throughout the United States.
 
    The total purchase price of the net assets of AMCOM was $5,280,000,
$2,224,000 of which was paid to the sellers at closing. The balance of the
purchase price of $3,056,000 is payable by Global in installments equal to 1% of
gross sales effective January 1, 1994 (as defined by agreement) in quarterly
installments through December 1995 and monthly thereafter until the obligation
is satisfied. In addition, Global agreed to reimburse AMCOM stockholders for all
income taxes incurred by them with respect to their distributive share of
AMCOM's taxable income for the period January 1, 1994 through the closing date.
 
    During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the then Board of Directors of the
Company declared a dividend to its shareholders consisting of 1,700,000 shares
of the common stock of Global, and also delivered 522,641 shares of Global
common stock to its former outside counsel in payment of outstanding legal fees.
Further, as of March 31, 1995 the then Board of Directors entered into the
Settlement Agreement with the CECO Shareholder Committee which, among other
things, provided for the sale of the Company's remaining interests in Global to
persons affiliated with the prior Board. The sale closed on April 12, 1995.
 
6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
 
    For the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company's investment in Global
was accounted for as a purchase. However, due to the subsequent sale of all of
the Company's interest in Global, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to reflect the investment in Global as a
discontinued operation.
 
    In March 1994, the Company discontinued the operations of its finance
subsidiary, ComEnt Funding Corp. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to reflect ComEnt Funding as a discontinued
operation for all periods presented. The loss from discontinued operations for
the year ended June 30, 1994 included $368,971 of amortization expense related
to the capitalized costs incurred in connection with the formation of ComEnt
Funding Corp. The remaining assets of ComEnt Funding, comprised primarily of
loans receivable aggregating $393,588 as of June 30, 1994, were written off and
included in discontinued operations in fiscal 1995.

</TABLE>
 
    Based on the Company's estimates of gross revenues as of June 30, 1996,
approximately 60%--70% of unamortized film costs applicable to released and/or
distributable films will be amortized during the three years ending June 30,
1999; approximately 70%--80% will be amortized during the five year period
ending June 30, 2001.
 
    The terms under which the Company licenses films to subdistributors in
foreign markets generally provide for the exploitation of the films in all
media, including theatrical exhibition, video and all forms of television, for a
period of 5 to 7 years; however, the Company may sell rights for certain media
separately. In general, films are first exhibited theatrically for a period of 4
to 6 months, after which they become available for distribution in the home
video markets. The films become available for exhibition on pay or free
television after approximately 18 to 24 months from the initial theatrical
release. After the initial term of the license with the subdistributor, the
rights revert back to the Company which may then relicense the rights for
distribution in the territory.
 
8. DISPOSITION OF SUBSIDIARY:
 
    On June 30, 1991, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares
(the "Shares") of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Double Helix to GNG Industries of
New York, Inc. ("GNG"). The Shares were sold to GNG in exchange for a secured,
negotiable promissory note, in the principal amount of $3,600,000. The Note was
recorded on the books of the Company at $3,243,868, which was the value of the
underlying collateral on the books of Double Helix at June 30, 1991.
 
    In April 1993, Double Helix's lending bank sold its outstanding loan
receivable from Double Helix to Carnegie Film Group, Inc. ("Carnegie"). The
Company advanced $350,000 to Carnegie in connection with the transaction. The
loan was senior to the indebtedness of GNG to the Company. In April 1993,
Carnegie foreclosed on the loan and acquired all of the assets of Double Helix.
 
    In September 1993, all of the outstanding shares of Carnegie were acquired
by ATC II, Inc. ("ATC"), a publicly traded company. Simultaneously, the Company
agreed to exchange the Note for 1,000,000 common shares (25,000 after giving
effect to a subsequent 1 for 40 reverse stock split) of ATC and $4,000,000
principal amount of 4% cumulative convertible preferred stock, convertible into
common shares at $1.30 per share. In October 1993, the Company loaned Carnegie
an additional $150,000.
 
    Carnegie defaulted on the $350,000 and the $150,000 loans, and notices of
default and foreclosure were sent in March and April 1994. In May 1994, the
Company filed legal action against ATC, Carnegie and others. In September 1994,
the Company and ATC entered into a settlement agreement whereby ATC

agreed to effect the transfer of Carnegie assets pledged as collateral. The
settlement also included a restructuring of ATC whereby ATC effected a 1 for 40
reverse stock split and issued the Company 900,000 shares, par value $.01 per
share, of Series B convertible preferred stock paying a 7% cumulative dividend
quarterly, in exchange for the $4,000,000 principal amount of 4% cumulative
convertible preferred stock previously held by the Company. Each share of the
Series B preferred stock is convertible into one share of ATC common stock. The
Company retained the 25,000 shares of ATC common stock in its possession.
 
    Due to a decline in the market value of the common shares and due to the
deterioration of the business of ATC, the Company recorded a provision for loss
on its investment in the amount of $3,363,829 in the year ended June 30, 1994.

    At June 30, 1996, the Company had a federal net operating loss carry
forward, for tax purposes, of approximately $27,000,000, expiring through 2011.
The utilization of approximately $4,900,000 of these losses in future periods is
estimated by the Company to be limited to approximately $350,000 per year (the
"annual earnout limitation").
 
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the effects of
income taxes that result from an enterprise's activities during the current and

principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, due 1997.
 
    In April 1995, the Company issued a note in the principal amount of $70,000
to its outside legal counsel for legal services performed. The note was
repayable in October 1995, together with interest at the rate of 7%. In February
1996 the note holder agreed to extend the due date to December 31, 1996. In
connection with the extension, the Company granted warrants to purchase 16,667
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.88 per share,
exercisable over a three year period. The amount of the note will be reduced, as
of December 31, 1996, by one-half of the amount by which the average closing
price of the stock, for the ten most recent trading days, exceeds the exercise
price of the warrants.
 
    In August and October 1995, the Company received net proceeds of $219,250
and $50,750, respectively, from the private placement of an aggregate of
$312,500 principal amount of 12% Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes (the
"Notes"). The Notes are repayable with interest on the earlier of (a) the
closing of a public offering of the Company's equity securities from which the
Company receives gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000, or (b) one year from
the issuance date. The Company also granted to the purchasers of the Notes an
aggregate of 26,042 warrants (the "Warrants"), 20,833 of which are exercisable
at $2.83 per share and 5,209 of which are exercisable at $2.37 per share. Each
of the Warrants is exercisable at any time beginning one year after the date of
issuance and expiring four years after the date of issuance.
 
    The Notes and interest were not repaid as scheduled. In August 1996, the
Company sent letters to all Note holders requesting extension of the due date to
December 15, 1997. In exchange, the Note holders were offered two alternative
proposals. In the first proposal, existing warrants will be exchanged, subject
to the Company's registration statements becoming effective, for registered
shares of the Company's common stock in an amount equal to 20% of the principal
amount of the Note, with shares valued at $         .75 per share.
Alternatively, Note holders can exchange their Notes, subject to the Company's
registration statements becoming effective, for registered shares of the
Company's common stock in an amount equal to 150% of the principal amount of the
Note, with shares valued at the price at the effective date of the registration.
In both proposals the interest on the Notes will be paid when due. As of October
10, 1996, the Company had received elections from Note holders representing
$212,500 principal amount of Notes, of which $162,500 elected the first
proposal. Accordingly, the maturity date of those notes have been extended to
December 15, 1997. Note holders representing $50,000 principal elected the
second proposal to exchange their notes for shares of the Company's common
stock. The remaining notes for $100,000 have not been paid on their respective
due dates, although the Company have not yet received any indication from those
noteholders that they will not consider one of the two alternative proposals
offered. The Company has paid current interest on all of the notes through the
first anniversary date of the respective notes.

    The Company is party to a lease at 800 Third Avenue, New York, New York
10022, which will terminate in 1997. The Company vacated such office space
during the year ended June 30, 1995. In September 1995 the landlord filed an
action against the Company (see "Litigation"). Rent expense for the years ended
June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $38,772, $297,287 and $489,559, respectively.
 
    The Company has entered into various agreements for the distribution of new
pictures. Generally, the films that the Company represent are financed by the
producers of the film, through independent or bank financing, utilizing the
license agreements generated by the Company as collateral for production loans.
The Company has assumed no financial obligations with respect to these pictures
as of this date, except for commitments for writing services in the amount of
$40,000, of which $20,000 has already been paid.
 
    LITIGATION:
 
    On December 20, 1990, a suit was filed against the Company seeking the
payment of $300,000 for certain investment banking services allegedly provided.
In October 1991, the Court granted a judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The
judgment is stayed pending the determination of an action brought by the Company
against the plaintiff described below. The Company has posted a
non-collateralized bond pending the results of an appeal. In a separate action,
the Company filed a complaint against the plaintiff claiming that services
alleged to have been performed were never performed and demanding the return of
funds and securities paid by the Company. In October 1994, the plaintiff filed a
voluntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Code.
Consequently, the Company's action has been automatically stayed. The Company
has filed a proof of claim.
 
    On or about September 11, 1992, Joseph Duignan brought an action in the
Superior Court of New Jersey, Mercer County, entitled Joseph Duignan v. Double
Helix Films Limited Partnership No. 1, L.P. Double Helix Films, Inc., Cinecom
International Films, Film Gallery, Inc., Stan Wakefield, Jerry Silva, Arthur
Altarac and Anthony Tavone (MER-L-4262-92). Jerry Silva, the only defendant who
was served, is former Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Mr. Silva has demanded that the Company indemnify him against any expenses,
judgments, and amounts paid in settlement of the action. The Company contends
that it is not required to indemnify Mr. Silva because he breached his fiduciary
duties to the Company.
 
    Mr. Duignan claims that he invested $75,000 to acquire a partnership
interest in Double Helix Films Limited Partnership No. 1 and that Mr. Silva
forged or caused to be forged his signature on a Subscription Agreement dated
July 28, 1986. The Complaint alleges claims for rescission, unjust enrichment
(against Double Helix), conversion, fraud, breach of contract, breach of
fiduciary duty and breach of covenants of good faith and fair dealing (against
Mr. Silva and Double Helix). Mr. Duignan seeks to recover compensatory damages,
including but not limited to, his alleged $75,000 investment, punitive damages
and attorney's fees. Mr. Silva has answered the Complaint.
 
    On December 30, 1994, an individual, who allegedly served as President of
Double Helix Films from about July 1991 until about March 1993, filed action
against the Company, Norman Muller, a former Chairman and CEO of the Company,
and others in which he alleges among other things breach of an oral agreement to
pay him $152,000 (which he allegedly advanced for the benefit of Double Helix)
and to give him 19.5% ownership interest in its corporate successors. He also
alleges a claim for intentional infliction

compensatory, punitive, exemplary and emotional distress damages. The trial date
has been set for February 1997. Mr. Muller has demanded that the Company
indemnify him against any expenses, judgements and amounts paid in settlement.
The Company contends that it is not required to provide indemnification.
 
    In another matter, the alleged former President of Double Helix, filed a
cross complaint in August 1995 against the Company, Double Helix and Norman
Muller in which he seeks indemnification, apportionment of fault and declaratory
relief in connection with another action in which he was named as a defendant.
In addition to compensatory damages, he seeks punitive and exemplary damages,
emotional distress damages and attorney's fees. The Company has answered the
cross-complaint, and a trial date has been set for February 1997.
 
    On or about May 15, 1995, Credit Lyonnais Bank Nederland N.V. and Cinecom
Entertainment Group, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company's subsidiary,
Odyssey Distributors, Ltd. They allege that Odyssey collected but failed to
remit to them assigned distribution proceeds in the amount of $566,283.33 from
the foreign distribution of two pictures. The complaint alleges claims for
breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty and seeks damages in excess of
$566,283, attorney's fees, an accounting, a temporary restraining order and a
preliminary injunction. In June 1995, the Court denied plaintiffs an attachment
and stayed the action pending arbitration in New York. In September, 1996 the
Court dismissed the Complaint. No arbitration has yet been commenced in this
action.
 
    In August 1995, G.P. Productions, Inc. ("GP") and Greenwich Subject Films,
Inc. ("Greenwich") commenced an action entitled G.P. Productions, Inc., and
Greenwich Studios, Inc. v. Double Helix Films, Inc., Communications and
Entertainment, Inc., Krishna Shaw, Gerald Muller and Norman Muller in the United
States District Court, Southern District of Florida (Case No. 95-1188). Mr.
Muller has demanded that the Company indemnify him against any expenses,
judgements and amounts paid in settlement of the action. The Company contends
that, by virtue of Mr. Muller's breaches of fiduciary duty and violation of his
obligations to the Company, it is not required to provide indemnification.
 
    GP and Greenwich allege that they are the exclusive owners of the films "The
Gallery" and "South Beach". They assert claims for copyright infringement,
unfair competition, breach of contract, accounting, conversion, civil theft,
conspiracy and fraudulent conveyance. The Complaint demands a recall of the
films, an attachment, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, an
accounting, and unspecified compensatory, punitive and treble damages. The
Company has made a motion to dismiss the action for lack of personal
jurisdiction and lack of venue. The motion is pending.
 
    In September 1995, the agent for the landlord for the premises in New York
City previously occupied by the Company filed a Summons and Verified Complaint
against the Company. The plaintiff alleges that it is due $66,694 from the
Company (plus interest) for rent allegedly owed during the period from April
through September, 1995. The Company vacated the premises on April 12, 1995.
Summary judgment was awarded to the plaintiff and a judgment was entered for
$74,142 in May, 1996. The Company has a motion pending for reconsideration of
the matter on the grounds that the landlord wrongfully refused to consider and
accept a subtenant for the balance of the term of the lease. In July, 1996, the
landlord commenced a second action for $121,000 for rent allegedly owed during
the period from October 1995 through July 1996.

    Management believes that the outcome of aforementioned matters and all other
outstanding litigation will not, after consideration of reserves, have a
materially adverse impact on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.
 
12. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
    On March 6, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
one-for-six reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock (the "Common Stock"). The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of
March 18, 1996 (the "Record Date"). On the Record Date, each six shares of the
Company's then outstanding Common Stock (the "Old Common Stock") were
automatically converted into one share of the new Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "New Common Stock").
 
    No fractional shares of New Common Stock were issued. Rather, holders of Old
Common Stock who are entitled to receive fractional shares of New Common Stock
will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock.
 
    The Reverse Stock Split resulted in a net reduction of 11,408,973 in the
number on Common Shares outstanding, including 1,995 shares issuable due to the
rounding up of fractional shares.
 
    Except for the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after the
Reverse Stock Split, the Old Common Stock and the New Common Stock are
identical.
 
    On February 14, 1995, the then Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend payable to holders of record on February 24, 1995 ("the Dividend Record
Date") of the Company's common stock and Class A stock. The dividend consisted
of 1,700,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Global that
were owned by the Company. Holders of the Company's common stock and Class A
stock received .1233 and .0786 shares, respectively, of Global common stock for
each share of the Company's stock. The dividend was recorded as a reduction of
capital in excess of par value.
 
    The shares of Global common stock were distributed to an escrow agent on the
Dividend Record Date pending registration of the shares. The Securities and
Exchange Commission declared Global's registration statement effective as of
September 1, 1995 and, accordingly, the escrow agent was authorized to
distribute the dividend shares.
 
    Communications and Entertainment Corp. was originally formed to consummate
the mergers of Double Helix Films, Inc. ("Double Helix") and Odyssey
Entertainment Ltd. pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September
22, 1989 ("the Merger Agreement"). On September 6, 1990 the shareholders of
Double Helix and Odyssey approved the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of Odyssey was convertible into
one share of Class A stock of the Company and each share of Double Helix common
stock was convertible into one share of the Company's common stock. Prior
management's instructions to the transfer agent required that any shares of
Odyssey or Double Helix outstanding at the time of the Merger not tendered to
the Company's transfer agent for exchange by March 31, 1995 should be canceled.
Accordingly, 86,790 shares of the Class A stock and 10,496 shares of the common
stock reserved for exchange were canceled. The par value of the shares canceled,
of $5,837, was transferred to capital in excess of par. Current management is
investigating the basis for prior management's instructions to the transfer
agent.

1995, into shares of the Company's common stock at a rate of .6375 shares of
common stock for each share of Class A stock.
 
    The Company's outstanding 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures are
convertible into common stock at a price of $75 per share. As of June 30, 1996,
Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $179,000 can be converted into
an aggregate of 1,522 shares of common stock.
 
    In September 1992, the former Board of Directors approved a stock buyback
program, authorizing the purchase of as many as three million shares of the
Company's common stock from time to time in the open market. Through June 30,
1994, the Company had purchased 162,833 shares with an aggregate cost of
$1,881,801. During the year ended June 30, 1994, the former Board of Directors

13. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS:
 
    The number of options and warrants, and exercise prices in the following
paragraphs have been restated to give effect to a 1 for 6 Reverse Stock Split in
March 1996.
 
    The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan (The "Option Plan") for its
key employees providing for the granting of options to acquire common stock. The
maximum number of shares of common stock subject to the Option Plan is 75,000,
plus 5% of any increase in the number of issued shares after the effective date
of the Merger, excluding any increase due to stock awards to key employees or as
result of the conversion of Class A stock. The price for the shares covered by
each option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of
grant (110% for holders of more than 10% of the company's common stock). Options
granted expire ten years from the date of grant (five years for holders of more
than 10% of the Company's common stock).

warrants to purchasers of 12% Senior Unsecured Notes sold in private placement.
The exercises prices ranged from $2.37 to $2.83 per share. None of such warrants
were exercisable as of June 30, 1996. In connection with the private placement,
the Company also issued 33,333 warrants to its outside counsel in consideration

services to the Company in connection with the change of management control of
the Company. Such services were rendered to the Company at the agreed upon rate
of $15,000 per month. However, in order to conserve the cash resources of the
Company, Global Capital agreed to accept stock options from the Company in lieu
of a cash payment. On March 6, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company (with
Mr. Schneider abstaining from the voting) authorized the issuance to Global
Capital of stock options to purchase 83,333 shares of Common Stock of the
Company, exercisable over a five-year period at the exercise price of $1.875 per
share (after adjustment for the Reverse Split).

will provide the Company with $500,000 revolving line of credit to be secured by
accounts receivable and other contractual rights acquired by the Company. As
part of the transaction, the Company will grant 100,000

stock options, exercisable over a three year period at the bid price of the
Company's common stock in effect on August 5, 1996 ($.625). The transaction
closed on October 7, 1996.
 
    On August 1, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company offered to
reimburse the members of the CECO Shareholders Committee in kind for all
expenses incurred by such members in connection with the change of management
control of the Company effected in April, 1995. (See "Change in Control"). The
Board offered to reimburse such expenses by issuing stock options to the
committee members in an amount equal to one and one-third times the amount of
such expenses. Robert Miller, a director of the Company, agreed to accept
options to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, exercisable
over a five-year period at an exercise price of $.75 per share, representing the
then current market price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. In
exchange, Mr. Miller released his claim for reimbursement of approximately
$30,000 of expenses incurred by Mr. Miller in connection with the change of
control. Lawrence I. Schneider, a director of the Company and also a member of
the CECO Shareholders Committee, has not agreed to accept options in lieu of his
claim for reimbursement of expenses in connection with the change of control. No
accrual for these claims was made at June 30, 1996 as the Company does not
expect to pay any amounts to these individuals.
 
    On September 25, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with an
unaffiliated third party for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock in consideration of $750,000, or $.75 per share, payable all cash
at closing. In addition, the investor will receive 1,000,000 class A warrants
and 1,000,000 class B warrants, each set of warrants being exercisable over a
three year period for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at the
respective exercise prices of $.75 and $1.00 per share. The closing of the
transaction is contingent upon (i) shareholder approval of an amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation authorizing an increase in the number of
authorized shares of the Company, and (ii) the effectiveness of a registration
statement filed by the Company on behalf of the investor with respect to the
shares purchased and the shares underlying the warrants. The investor will pay
the first $50,000 of such registration costs.
 
    In September, 1996, the Company reached a verbal understanding with
Paramount, pursuant to which the Company believes that Paramount will agree to
cancel the Company's contractual guarantee of $2.7 million in full, in exchange
for which the Company agreed to (i) relinquish all further distribution rights
to "Wuthering Heights"; (ii) assign to Paramount all of its rights in any
outstanding distribution agreements for the film, and any receivables to be
generated therefrom; and (iii) guarantee that Paramount will collect a total of
$500,000 in sales revenue from existing distribution agreements no later than
January 15, 1997. The Company anticipates that existing license agreements will
yield at least $450,000 in revenue prior to January 15, 1997 (of which the
Company would have been entitled to retain approximately 20% thereof in
commissions), thereby minimizing the Company's exposure under the guarantee to
Paramount.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    Section 78.751(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a Nevada
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
 
    Section 78.751(2) provides that a Nevada corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit if he acted under similar standards, except that no
indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine that despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall
deem proper.
 
    Section 78.751 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of
a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (1) and (2) or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, including
attorney's fees; that a Nevada corporation may advance (or pay as incurred) any
expenses incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending a
civil or criminal action, upon receipt of an undertaking by such officer or
director to repay any amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a
court that the officer or director was not entitled to indemnification by the
corporation; that indemnification provided for by Section 78.751 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be
entitled (except that
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
indemnification may not be made if a final adjudication establishes that the
acts in question involved intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violations of
law); and that the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against
him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liabilities under Nevada law.
 
    The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of the
Company's officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Company's Articles of Incorporation also permit the Board of Directors to
authorize the Company to purchase and maintain insurance against any liability
asserted against any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company arising
out of his capacity as such. The Company does not maintain any such liability
insurance at the present time.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, or controlling persons of the Company pursuant
to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, its By-Laws and the Nevada Revised
Statutes, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is
therefore unenforceable.
 
    As permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation provide that directors of the Company shall not be personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law, or (ii) under certain sections of Nevada law relating to
prohibited dividends or distributions. As a result of this provision, the
Company and its stockholders may be unable to obtain monetary damages from a
director for breach of his or her duty of care to the Company.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
    a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
            (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
       Securities Act of 1933;
 
            (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
       the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
       post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
       aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
       the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
       or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
       securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
       deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
       range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
       Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
       volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
       maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
       Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
 
           (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
       distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
       any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
        (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
    Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
    to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
    therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
    be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
        (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
    any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
    termination of the offering.
 
        (4) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
    Securities Act of 1933 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 Commission such indemnification is against public
    policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
    event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
    the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
    officer or controlling person of the Registrant 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
    Registrant 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 of 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.
