Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant

     Effective June 20, 2000, Ellen Dinerman Little, Gary Stein and Alessandro
Fracassi resigned from their positions with Overseas Filmgroup, Inc. ("Company")
and Christopher Cooney, Jeffrey Cooney, Barry Minsky, Joseph Linehan and
Nicholas Bavaro were appointed as directors by the existing members of the board
to fill the vacancies created by the resignations and the creation of two new
directorships. The change in composition of the board occurred in connection
with a sale on June 20, 2000 by the Company to Rosemary Street Productions, LLC
("Purchaser") of (i) 5,097,413 shares of common stock ("Common Stock"), (ii)
904,971 shares of Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), each share of
which is convertible into two shares of Common Stock and (iii) five-year
warrants ("Warrants") to purchase up to 2,313,810 shares of Common Stock of
Company at an exercise price of $3.40 per share (collectively, the "Securities")
for a cash purchase price of $17,000,000 (the "Securities Purchase"). Purchaser
also has an option to purchase up to an additional 1,625,260 shares of Common
Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. This option will be
exercisable for a period of 90 days after the closing date. Since the Preferred
Stock votes with the Common Stock on an as- converted basis, the Purchaser
beneficially owns approximately 59.5% of the Company's voting securities
(assuming that the Purchaser will not exercise its option).

     The following persons now represent the executive officers and directors of
the Company:

Name                              Title

Christopher Cooney                Co-Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
                                  Officer

Robert Little                     Co-Chairman of the Board and President

William F. Lischak                Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
                                  Officer, Secretary and Director

Jeffrey Cooney                    Executive Vice President--Creative Affairs and
                                  Director

Stephen K. Bannon                 Director

Scot K. Vorse                     Director

Barry R. Minsky                   Director

Joseph Linehan                    Director

Nicholas Bavaro                   Director

     In connection with the Securities Purchase, the Company, the Purchaser,
Robert Little, Ellen Dinerman Little (together with Robert Little, collectively
referred to as the "Littles"), MRCo., Inc., a member of the Purchaser,
Christopher J. Cooney and Jeffrey Cooney entered into a voting agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreement, so long as Robert Little is
employed as President of the Company or the Littles own no less than 5% of the


                                        2


<PAGE>


issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, Purchaser will nominate
and vote for Robert Little to serve as a member of the board of directors of the
Company. So long as Christopher Cooney and Jeffrey Cooney own, in the aggregate,
directly or indirectly, no less than 5% of the issued and outstanding voting
securities of the Company, the Littles and other members of the Purchaser will
vote for Christopher Cooney and Jeffrey Cooney to serve as members of the board
of directors of the Company. So long as MRCo. owns no less than 5% of the issued
and outstanding voting securities of the Company, the Littles and other members
of Purchaser will vote for Joseph Linehan to serve as a member of the board of
directors of the Company.

     The Company is not aware of any arrangements the operation of which may
result in a further change in control of the Company, as contemplated by Item
403(c) of Regulation S-K, nor are there any other arrangements or understandings
among members of the former and new control persons and their associates with
respect to the election of directors or other matters, except as set forth in
the voting agreement discussed above.

Item 5. Other Events

     In June 2000, the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the
Company, as guarantors, entered into a $40 million five-year secured revolving
credit agreement with a group of commercial banks and other financial
institutions. The proceeds from the credit facility will be used to:

     o    refinance outstanding loans and accrued interest under the Company's
          existing credit facility with Coutts & Co. and Bankgesellschaft Berlin
          A.G. (formerly known as Berliner Bank A.G. London Branch);

     o    finance the Company's production, acquisition, distribution and
          exploitation of feature length motion pictures, television
          programming, video product and rights therein;

     o    fund the Company's working capital; and

     o    otherwise fund the Company's lawful corporate purposes.

The facility bears interest, as the Company may select, at rates based on either
the LIBOR or a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate, (b)
the Base CD Rate plus 1% and (c) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2% (as
such terms are defined in the credit agreement). The revolving line of credit
may be reduced, partially or in whole, at any time and is to be fully paid on
June 20, 2005. The amounts drawn under the credit facility are secured by
substantially all of the Company's and its domestic subsidiaries' current and
future assets. The credit facility contains customary covenants restricting or
limiting the Company's ability to engage in certain activities, including
limitations on debt, liens, guarantees, investments, restricted payments,
transactions with affiliates, asset sales and dispositions and changes in its


                                        3

corporate existence. At varying times over the term of the credit facility, the
Company is required to meet certain financial and operational tests.
