2The UK film industry is a valuable part of the British economy and has doubled its GDP in the past 20 years in real terms. Extensive market research has shown that despite the recent recession in the UK, the film industry has continued to thrive. There are a number of UK films which have become mass market hits, generating a huge profit such as Skyfall and Harry Potter.
The UK remains the third largest consumer market for filmed entertainment in the world, with an 11% share of the global box office market. According to the British Film Institute statistical yearbook 2014, the UK is predicted to overtake Japan by 2018.
The British Film Industry has received a large number of awards for British film talent, according to Viscount Younger of Leckie, the minister for intellectual property “British creativity is highly marketable, award-winning and sought after. Our creative industries that draw on it are among the most influential and successful in the world, contributing £71.4 billion per year to the UK economy.”
Here at Red Rock Entertainment, film is at the heart of what we do, working in conjunction with a number of UK film production companies to raise equity for independent film projects.
Red Rock Entertainment offer a number of film investment opportunities including: Private Equity, Distribution and EIS/SEIS. Our investors will benefit from uncapped upside potential and the availability of EIS Tax Loss Relief to help diminish downside risk.

4Red Rock Entertainment is a film finance company; we work in conjunction with a number of UK film companies to raise equity for Independent film projects. As well as film, we also raise funds for TV and Distribution.
We are hired by production and distribution companies to finance their projects. We currently have a number of SEIS, EIS, Equity and Distribution investment opportunities available. Our sole focus is on our products as an investment opportunity, and we ensure that we work alongside the directors and producers to make sure that our projects stay within their budget and timeline.
All monies paid by investors are sent directly to the production companies, and at no point do investors send any money to Red Rock Entertainment.
We can arrange for our investors to visit the sets during filming, appear as extras, and attend private screenings. We also arrange film investment seminars here at Elstree with guest speakers from the different film companies, along with qualified accountants who can discuss the various tax advantages of investing in the film industry.
Our directors attend all the major Film Festivals and Film Markets including: The American Film Market, Berlin International Film Festival and Cannes InternationalFilm Festival, ensuring that we keep up to date with the latest film trends.
About us

5An executive producer is someone who has either personally funded orarranged the funding for a motion picture or television show.
Making a television show, or film can be a costly process and so the Executive Producer essentially acts as the financial backer, helping the production to raise the extra finances it needs to get to the distribution stage.
On the film/television set our main role is to ensure that the project is proceeding according to the set schedule and budget. Although as an Executive Producer we don’t have control over how the film is executed we do have a say in anything which may affect the films schedule or marketability.
We focus on film projects that have a commercial appeal, an identifiable audience, moderately low and controllable costs and a sound financial structure. We also require that certain elements are in place before we will commit to any film project.
What we do
What we look for in a film projectRed Rock Entertainment specialise in films. We mainly work with film projects which are at an advanced stage and are looking for the final amount of financing.

7Overview of the film industry
“In 2013 the UK film box office revenues were in excess of £1 billion forthe third year in succession.”
BFI Statistical yearbook 2014
The film business has an impressive history of stability; even at the height of the financial crisis the demand for film remained stable and film continued to make money, while many other industries struggled.
There are a huge number of UK films that have become mass market hits generating impressive profits such as: Skyfall, Harry Potter, Mama Mia, Three Weddings and a Funeral and The Full Monty to name just a few.
According to an independent report published by the British Film Institute (BFI), the UK film industry continues to be a valuable part of the UK’s creative industries, with a turnover of £7.3 billion and a direct contribution to Gross Domestic Product of £2.9 billion.
The UK remains the third largest consumer market for filmed entertainment in the world with an 11% share of the global box office market; in 2013 it generated revenues in excess of £4 billion and according to a recent report by the British Video Association, the UK is predicted toovertake Japan by 2018. But that’snot all, the UK has an abundance ofcreative talent and there are a
number or big name actors who began their careers in small Independent British films such as Keira Knightly, Ewan McGregor, James Cosmo and James McAvoy.
The British film industry received 25 awards last year for UK filmsand UK film talent including 6 Oscars and 13 BAFTAs, and so asfar as the film industry goes, the UK has a lot to offer!

16What makes a film investment so special? Well, a film doesn’t need to be a large success at the box office in order for an investor to receive a return on their investment, that’s the benefit of investing in independent film. The global marketplace for film and TV programmes is growing rapidly as a result of the increasing amount of platforms and media by which they can be shown.
The benefits of investing in film stretch far beyond the sales of box office tickets, DVD/Blu-Ray sales, television airings, Video on Demand (VOD) subscriptions and the sale of merchandise all count towards the profit a film makes and can continue to generate a profit for many years after a films initial release.
In 2013, the total video entertainment market grew 0.5% to an estimated £2.2 billion in consumer spending; 143 million DVDs were sold in the UK and UK consumers made 56 million digital rentals (The British Film Institute yearbook 2014).
As well as simply making a return on your investment, there are a number of extra benefits which are attached to investing in film such as:
• Having your name in the credits at the end of the film• Get involved with the production of the film, become an extra• Meet the cast and crew and visit the film set• Attend Red Carpet events including the Film Premiere• Attend special events as a VIP, such as The Cannes International Film Festival• Be the first to sample merchandise• Receive generous tax rewards
A film investment allows you to be part of something much bigger than just an investment; a film investment offers you the opportunity to be part of the nextbig success story, and as well as high returns and a life time of earnings,investing in the British film industry can also offer you a great deal of taxrelief benefits.
In 2012 the Prime Minister, announced the extension of the film taxrelief for UK filmmakers, creating a range of incentives for film investors when they chose to invest in an EIS/SEIS filminvestment scheme.
Why invest in film?
Page:
17In the UK there are two kinds of government sponsored investment schemes, offering generous tax benefits to investors, The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS). These were set up by the government to make it easier for investors to invest in small high risk businesses which are not listed on the stock exchange.
EIS
Capital Gains Tax
Income Tax Relief
The EIS scheme was introduced by the government in 1994 with a main objective to help small UK companies raise capital from private investors. Whilst investing in EIS is not without risks, the incentives for investors looking at tax planning opportunities are attractive, these benefits include:
You can claim a tax rebate (30% of the amount in which you have invested) on the income you have paid in the last year or on tax which you still owe in the current tax year. Relief can be claimed up to a maximum of £1,000,000 invested in such shares, giving a maximum tax reduction in any one year of £300,000 providing you have sufficient Income Tax liability to cover it.
If the investment is a success and you make a profit on the sale of your shares you will be exempt from capital gains tax on the amount of profit you have made. If you have any capital gains tax or inheritance tax liability to pay in the current or next tax year or if you have paid either of these in the last 2/3 years you can claw back or defer tax equivalent to 28% of the capital you have invested in the EIS film.
Capital Gains Tax DeferralThe payment of tax on a capital gain can be deferred where the gain isinvested in shares of an EIS qualifying company. The gain can arise fromthe disposal of any kind of asset, but the investment must be made withinthe period one year before or three years after the gain arose. Thereare no minimum or maximum amounts for deferral. There is nominimum period for which the shares must be held; the deferredcapital gain is brought back into charge whenever the sharesare disposed of, or are deemed to have been disposed ofunder the EIS legislation.
Tax Benefits of investing in film

18Loss Relief
Who is eligible to invest?
If your shares are disposed of at a loss, you can elect that the amount ofthe loss, less any Income Tax relief given, can be set against income of the year in which they were disposed of, or any income of the previous year, instead of being set off against any capital gains.
An EIS investment is suitable for you if you are looking to: • Take advantage of income tax relief • Defer a payment of capital gains tax • Shelter investments from inheritance tax • Harness the potential for significant tax free capital growth in today’s
financial markets • Diversify your existing investment portfolio• Find a complementary solution to a pension
Any UK taxpayer is eligible for the tax breaks however; the initial tax relief is limited to the amount of tax you pay.
Where can I sell?You should be prepared to retain an EIS investment for at least three years or youwill lose any initial reliefs claimed. Once the company in which you are investedhas been trading for at least three years after your investment dates, thefollowing options may become available to you to realise your investmentat a later date.
• Disposal of your shares to a third party or back to the company • Management buyout • Trade sale
Page:
19SEIS
As with an EIS investment, you can reclaim a percentage (50%) of the cost of your investment against your income tax liability for the tax year in which the investments were made. The maximum you can invest through SEIS in any tax year is £100,000. As with EIS there is no Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax or loss relief tax to be paid on an SEIS investment opportunity.
Income Tax Relief
The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) complements the existing Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), offering a range of tax reliefs to individual investors who purchase shares in small, early stage companies. SEIS is intended to recognise the particular difficulties which very early stage companies face in attracting investment, by offering tax relief at a higher rate than that offered by the existing EIS.
Income Tax relief is available to you if you subscribe for qualifying shares in a company which meets the SEIS requirements, and if you have UK tax liability against which to set the relief. However, there are some rules: Your shares must be held for a period of 3 years from date of issue for relief to be retained. If they are disposed of within that 3 year period, or if any of the qualifying conditions cease to be met during that period, relief will be withdrawn or reduced.
Relief is available at 50% of the cost of the shares, on a maximum annualinvestment of £100,000. The relief is given by way of a reduction of tax liability,providing there is sufficient tax liability against which to set it. A claim to reliefcan be made up to 5 years after the 31 January following the tax year inwhich the investment was made.
Who can participate in SEIS?Unconnected shareholders should be entitled to all of the reliefs above. For connected shareholders income tax relief and the CGT exemption are not normally available.
Connection may be by financial interest or by employment with the company. Financial interest occurs where the subscriber and their associates (such as parents, children and business partners) control more than 30% of the company.
Employment includes directorships and also precludes the employment ofassociates (as defined above). However there is an exemption for businessangels who become Directors.
The above is set out as a brief guide online, Red Rock Entertainmentare not financial advisors, as with any investment or tax related issue it is important that you seek advice from a financialadvisor.

How do distributors get their films?
Distribution is a challenging role; it is a distributor’s role to bring a film to the market by:
• Identifying its audience• Considering why the audience will go and see the film• Estimating the revenue potential for the film • Persuading exhibitors (cinema operators) to play the film• Build awareness and interest in the film
Distribution is the very competitive business of launching and sustaining films in the market place. Every week on average, about 12 films are released in UK cinemas, generating annual box-office gross receipts of more than £1 billion. Distributors invest more than £330m a year to bring all these titles to market, launching and sustaining them in cinemas. In 2012, £184m of this was allocated to media advertising, the rest on film prints, advertising production, publicity, premieres and related costs.(Film Distributors Association)
The distribution process is the task of a professional film distributor who determines the marketing strategy for the film, the media in which the film is to be exhibitedand the date in which this is to be done.
Who are the distributors?The UK has a number of distributors who are directly affiliated to the Hollywood studios, and a number of independent distributors who handle the films which are made outside of the major studios.
UK distributors acquire the films they release from a number of difference sources, including:
• Third-party sales agent, acting on behalf of a producer at an event such as a Film Festival
• By forming a relationship with a particular studio or production company
• Covering a slate of titles (a number of different films from the same company)
• Acquiring a single title at any stage before, during or after production
Film Distribution

21Red Rock Entertainment offers a number of different kinds of film investment opportunities catering to different types of circumstances, including:
Distribution InvestmentsSome films are exhibited directly to the public through a movie premiere and will remain in the theatre for a number of weeks; others will be released straight to television, video-on-demand and or DVD and Blu-ray discs.
We also offer a number of EIS/SEIS film investments which offer the investors generous tax relief benefits. Another perk of an EIS/SEIS film investment opportunity is that they come with a planned exit after three years, which gives investors certainty over when they will get their returns. Investing in film and television projects through an EIS/SEIS can generate more secure, low-risk return on your money.

Red Rock Entertainment work with a number of film projects that are almost finished and are looking for the final amount of financing to cover the distribution costs such as the theatrical release and film promotion. Red Rock Entertainment has a number of Film Distribution Investments available in which investors will see a return on their investment plus a share of the profit from the DVD and Blu-ray sales, on-demand and rental subscriptions.
Film Investment Opportunities
In addition to the investment notes above, we also work with a range of films which are currently in the process of, or about to begin shooting. With a Pure Equity investment, there is a shorter hold time for investors than through the EIS/SEIS schemes; however, investors can still benefit from a return of capital often with a premium attached plus generous returns from a variety of sales mediums including both theatrical release and digital platforms.
Here at Red Rock Entertainment, we only ever offer films which have been identified as being commercially viable, having assessedthe production budget, genre and distribution intent.
