PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK. YOU ARE URGED TO READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE SECTION ENTITLED "RISK FACTORS" AND OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES. IN THIS PROSPECTUS, WE REFER TO EMPIRE POST MEDIA, INC. AS "WE," "US," "OUR," "EMPIRE" AND THE "COMPANY."
 
EMPIRE
 
Empire Post Media, Inc. was founded in the State of Nevada on October 13, 2009. Empire is currently marketing its services on a limited basis. Empire’s services include most aspects of post-production, including, among other things, editing, sound and music finishing, special effects, main and end titles, and mastering to producers and owners of independent feature films; television movies, specials and series; short subjects; and documentaries who have exhausted their financial resources and budgets. Empire will subcontract the post-production services to post-production companies, principally in the Southern California area. Empire also intends to arrange third person financing for these producers/owners, for these services. This will allow the producer or owner to complete the film by deferring the post production costs and expenses until the film is distributed and begins to generate revenue. Any and all financing may be collateralized by the film and any license or distribution rights associated therewith. There is no assurance that financing sources will accept such collateral.
 
Management believes that much of its initial business will come from the various post-production companies that we will contract with for services as cash-conscious producers attempt to spread out various aspects of post-production costs on a future payment basis among multiple vendors in order to complete their films. These post-production companies, as Empire’s sub-contractors, will have the ability to capture the whole of post-production work on a deferred payment basis, assuming the producer has acceptable collateral. In addition, producers and/or owners who have exhausted their funds completing principal photography and therefore not having the necessary funds for post-production services and unable to raise monies elsewhere, would be a likely client for our services.
 
Empire is in the development stage and has a limited history of operations. The Company’s expenditures to date are $22,297 which was for organizational costs and expenses associated with this filing. The Company’s current “burn rate” is approximately $4,000 per month. Other than some marketing costs and expenses associated with being a public company estimated to be $20,000, we do not have any other near term capital requirements. However, we plan to raise additional capital at a future date, through a private placement or from our principal shareholder, to build up our business by increasing our marketing program and name recognition. There is no assurance that such additional capital will be available to us.
 
GENERAL
 
Empire started operations in October, 2009 and is in its early development stage. Empire has not yet generated any revenues. Since its inception, in October, 2009, Empire has incurred losses of $22,297. As of November 30, 2009, Empire had assets totaling $17,831 in cash and equipment liabilities of $16,128, resulting in a Net Worth of $1,703. During this same period, Mr. Dunn, President of the Company, received 19,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $19,500 for services provided to the Company during the early stages of its business.
 
We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the next year. We do not expect to generate sufficient revenue to cover our expenses, and we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our plan of operations. We will need to obtain additional financing to conduct our day-to-day operations and to fully execute our business plan. We anticipate raising capital necessary to fund our business through the future sale of equity securities although there is no certainty that we will be able to raise the required funds (See "Plan of Operation").
 
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their report of our financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2009, stating that our net loss, lack of revenues and dependence on our ability to raise additional capital to continue our business, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements and their explanatory notes included as part of this prospectus assume that Empire will continue as a going business. If we fail to obtain additional financing, either through an offering of our securities or by obtaining loans, we may be forced to abandon our planned business operations altogether.
 
Empire's principal address is at 280 South Beverly Drive, Suite 205, Beverly Hills, California 90212. Empire's telephone and facsimile number is (310) 472-5138.

Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus relating to our business and prospects before deciding to invest in our common stock.
 
This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The value of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Empire considers the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding this offering. Empire should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount. Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
 
RISKS RELATED TO EMPIRE'S MARKET AND STRATEGY
 
WE ARE A NEW COMPANY WITH NO OPERATING HISTORY AND WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
 
We are a development stage company formed recently to carry out the activities described in this prospectus and thus have only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. We were incorporated on October 13, 2009 and to date have been involved primarily in the design of our business plan and preliminary marketing of our services. We have not yet generated any revenues from our business operations. Thus, there is no internal or industry-based historical financial data upon which to estimate our planned operating expenses.
 
Empire expects that its results of operations may also fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of market factors including, among others, the entry of new competitors offering similar service; the availability of motivated and qualified personnel; the creation and maintenance of our customer base; pricing changes by us or our competitors, and specific economic conditions in the financial markets. Accordingly, our future sales and operating results are difficult to forecast.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, we have earned no revenue. Failure to generate revenue will cause us to go out of business, which could result in the complete loss of your investment.
 
BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL AND DO NOT HAVE MUCH CAPITAL, WE MUST LIMIT OUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES. AS A RESULT, OUR REVENUES MAY BE DELAYED OR INSUFFICIENT TO OPERATE PROFITABLY. IF WE DO NOT MAKE A PROFIT, WE MAY HAVE TO SUSPEND OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
 
Due to the fact we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our marketing activities to a relatively small number of potential customers having the likelihood of purchasing our services. We intend to generate revenue through the sale of our services. Because we will be limiting the scope of our marketing activities, we may not be able to generate timely or sufficient sales to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
 
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GAIN ANY SIGNIFICANT MARKET ACCEPTANCE FOR OUR SERVICES OR ESTABLISH A SIGNIFICANT MARKET PRESENCE.
 
Empire's growth strategy is substantially dependent upon its ability to market its services successfully to prospective clients. However, its planned services may not achieve significant acceptance. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant period of time. Failure of Empire's services to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and the results of our operations.
 
MANAGEMENT MAY BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
Although Empire intends to pursue a strategy of marketing its services to the movie and television industry, our business success depends on a number of factors. These include: our ability to establish a significant customer base and maintain favorable relationships with customers and partners; obtain adequate business financing on favorable terms in order to finance the post-production services; develop and maintain appropriate operating procedures, policies and systems; hire, train and retain skilled employees. Our inability to manage any or all of these factors could impair our ability to implement our business strategy successfully, which could have a materially adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

 
5

 

 
If we are successful in initiating our business plans, any extraordinary growth may place a significant strain on management, financial, operating and technical resources. Failure to manage this growth effectively could have a materially adverse effect on Empire's financial condition or the results of its operations.
 
EMPIRE'S PRINCIPAL OFFICER AND DIRECTOR MAY NOT BE IN A POSITION TO DEVOTE A MAJORITY OF HIS TIME TO EMPIRE’S BUSINESS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERIODIC INTERRUPTIONS AND EVEN BUSINESS FAILURE.
 
Mr. Dunn, the president and director, has other business interests and currently devotes approximately 25% of his time to our operations. Our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are not convenient to Mr. Dunn, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of our business plan. If the demands of Empire's business require Mr. Dunn’s full business time, he is prepared to adjust his timetable to devote more time to Empire. However, he may not be able to devote sufficient time to the management of the business, which may result in periodic interruptions in implementing Empire's plans in a timely manner. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of the business.
 
THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH EMPIRE OPERATES IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE
 
Empire has identified a market opportunity for its services. Existing or new competitors may introduce superior products, services, conditions and/or benefits. This would infringe on our proposed customer base, have an adverse affect upon our business and the results of our operations
 
The post-production business and the financing industry are highly competitive markets. We will compete with both large and small corporations already providing services in this sector. Almost all of these companies have greater financial and personnel resources than we do.
 
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL.
 
Empire's success will largely rely on the efforts and abilities of certain key personnel. While Empire does not foresee any reason why such key personnel will not remain with Empire, if for any reason they do not, Empire could be adversely affected. Empire has not purchased key man life insurance for any of these individuals.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
THE AUDITOR’S REPORT STATES THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE ABILITY OF EMPIRE TO CONTINUE ITS OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN
 
In their audit report dated December 15, 2009, our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Because our current stockholders may be unwilling or unable to loan or advance any additional capital to Empire we believe that if we do not raise additional capital within 9 months of the effective date of this registration statement, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our business plans.  Therefore any purchaser of our shares may be investing in a company that will not have the funds necessary to develop its business strategies. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your entire investment. See the November 30, 2009 Audited Financial Statements – “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm". Because Empire has been issued an opinion by its auditors that substantial doubt exists as to whether it can continue as a going concern it may be more difficult to attract investors.
 
SINCE EMPIRE ANTICIPATES OPERATING EXPENSES WILL INCREASE PRIOR TO EARNING REVENUE, IT MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY
 
We were incorporated on October 13, 2009 and we have not realized any revenues to date. Empire anticipates an increase in its operating expenses, without realizing any revenues from the sale of its services. Within the next 6 months, Empire will have costs related to (i) the development of services, (ii) administrative expenses and (iii) the expenses of this offering and continuing costs associated with being a public company of between $24,000 and $30,000.  Unless Empire desires to finance its clients out of its own available assets, instead of utilizing 3 rd party lenders, there is currently no requirement to seek long term capital at this time.
 
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that Empire will prove successful. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our products will attract customers; generate any operating revenue or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unable to address these risks, there is a high probability that our business can fail, which will result in the loss of your entire investment.

OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADEQUATE FINANCING, RESULTING IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT
 
We will require additional financing to initiate and sustain our business operations. Currently, we do not have any arrangements for financing and can provide no assurances to investors that we will be able to obtain any when required. Obtaining additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including Empire's lack of revenue. These factors may have an affect on the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing and make such additional financing unavailable to us. See "Description of Business."
 
No assurance can be given that Empire will obtain access to capital markets in the future or that adequate financing to satisfy the cash requirements of implementing our business strategies will be available on acceptable terms. The inability of Empire to gain access to capital markets or obtain acceptable financing will have a material adverse effect upon the results of its operations and its financial conditions. The proceeds from the sale of the securities offered in this registration statement will go directly to the selling security holder and not to Empire. As such, this offering might negatively affect Empire's ability to raise needed funds through a primary offering of Empire's securities in the future.
 
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.
 
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirement, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. Until the Company is in a position to employ more experts, we expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. With only three part-time employees, it is difficult to predict how long it will take to complete management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and process on a timely basis. This may affect our standing as a reporting company or the market price of our shares. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company, which will negatively affect our business operations.
 
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY PROVE UNPREDICTABLE
 
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control over. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: our inability to generate enough working capital from future equity sales; the level of commercial acceptance by the public of our services; fluctuations in the demand for our services and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure and general economic conditions. If realized, any of these risks could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
 
INVESTING IN EMPIRE IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND COULD RESULT IN THE ENTIRE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT
 
Purchasing the offered shares is highly speculative and involves significant risk. The offered shares should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Our business objectives are also speculative, and it is possible that we would be unable to accomplish them. Empire's shareholders may be unable to realize a substantial or any return on their purchase of the offered shares and may lose their entire investment. For this reason, each prospective purchaser of the offered shares should read this prospectus and all of its exhibits carefully and consult with their attorney, business and/or investment advisor.
 
INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY MAY RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS BECAUSE BUYERS WILL PAY MORE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK THAN THE PRO RATA PORTION OF THE ASSETS ARE WORTH
 
Empire has only been recently formed and has only a limited operating history and no earnings, therefore, the price of the offered shares is not based on any data. On October 15, 2009, the selling security holder was issued 22,460,000 in exchange for cash and services rendered valued at $22,460 or $.001 per share. The offering price and other terms and conditions regarding Empire's shares have been arbitrarily determined and do not bear any relationship to current assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. No investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.
 
The arbitrary offering price of $0.005 per common share as determined herein is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of Empire's common stock and the price per share paid by the selling security holder. Empire’s assets do not substantiate a share price of $0.005. This premium in share price applies to the terms of this offering and does not attempt to reflect any forward looking share price subsequent to Empire obtaining a listing on any exchange, or becoming quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
 
BECAUSE EMPIRE HAS 60, 000,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES, MANAGEMENT COULD ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES, DILUTING THE CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
Empire has 60,000,000 authorized shares, consisting of 50,000,000 common stock, of which only 24,000,000 are currently issued and outstanding and will remain issued and outstanding after this offering terminates, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which no such shares have been issued. Empire's management could and intends to, without the consent of the existing shareholders, issue substantially more shares, causing a large dilution in the equity position of Empire's current shareholders. Additionally, large share issuances would generally have a negative impact on Empire's share price. It is possible that, due to additional share issuance, you could lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment.
 
 
7

 

 
Empire's president owns 93.6% of the outstanding shares and will own approximately 43.6% after this offering is completed. As a result, he will have effective control of Empire and be able to choose all of its directors. His interests may differ from those of other stockholders. Factors that could cause his interests to differ from the other shareholders include the impact of corporate transactions on the timing of business operations and his ability to continue to manage the business given the amount of time he is able to devote to Empire.
 
All decisions regarding the management of Empire's affairs will be made mainly by Mr. Dunn. Purchasers of the offered shares may not participate in the management of Empire and, therefore, are dependent upon his management abilities. The only assurance that the shareholders of Empire, including purchasers of the offered shares, have, that it's primary officer and director will not abuse his discretion in executing Empire's business affairs, is his fiduciary obligation and business integrity. Such discretionary powers include, but are not limited to, decisions regarding all aspects of business operations, corporate transactions and financing. Accordingly, no person should purchase the offered shares unless willing to entrust all aspects of management to the President, or his successors. Potential purchasers of the offered shares must carefully evaluate the personal experience and business performance of Empire's management.
 
THERE IS NO ACTIVE TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, OUR INVESTORS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES IN A TIMELY MANNER.
 
There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. We currently plan to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. In order to do this, a market maker must file a Form 15c-211 to allow the market maker to make a market in shares of our common stock. At the date hereof, we are not aware that any market maker has any such intention. We cannot provide our investors with any assurance that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize. Further, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members. If our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, then investors may not be able to resell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased making this an illiquid investment. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of the shares of developmental stage companies like Empire, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock in a material manner.
 
BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS DEEMED A LOW-PRICED “PENNY” STOCK, AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HIGH RISK AND SUBJECT TO MARKETABILITY RESTRICTIONS.
 
Empire's common shares may be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Regulation Section "240.3a51-1" of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than U.S. $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or U.S. $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than U.S. $6,000,000 for the last three years.
 
Section "15(g)" of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation Section "240.15g(c)2" of the SEC require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in Empire's common shares are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any common shares that are deemed to be "penny stock".  See “Plan of Distribution – Penny Stock Regulations”.
 
THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules referred to above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which we refer to as FINRA, has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for shares of our common stock.

THE SALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE. THIS MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO INVESTORS IF INVESTORS ARE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THEIR PURCHASE PRICE.
 
A sale of shares under this offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The sale of our common stock under this offering could make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might not otherwise want to affect sales.
 
THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECREASE DUE TO FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. THESE FACTORS MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO INVESTORS IF INVESTORS ARE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THEIR PURCHASE PRICE.
 
The trading price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations due to a number of factors, including:
 
 
*
our status as a development stage company with a limited operating history
 
*
no revenues to date, which may make risk-averse investors more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than may be the case with the shares of a seasoned issuer in the event of negative news or lack of progress and announcements of new products by us or our competitors
 
*
the timing and development of products and services that we may offer
 
*
general and industry-specific economic conditions
 
*
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results
 
*
our capital commitments
 
*
the loss of any of our key management personnel
 
In addition, the financial markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The market prices of securities in this industry have been highly volatile and may continue to be highly volatile in the future, some of which may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The sale or attempted sale of a large amount of common stock into the market may also have a significant impact on the trading price of our common stock. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies that experience volatility in the market price of their securities. Whether or not meritorious, litigation brought against us could result in substantial costs, divert management's attention and resources and harm our financial condition and results of operations.
 
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, WHICH MAY REDUCE THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK.
 
To date, Empire has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends will depend on earnings and the capital requirements of Empire, and Empire's debt facilities and other factors considered appropriate by Empire's Executive Officers and Directors. We cannot guarantee that we will, at any time, generate sufficient profits or surplus cash that would be available for distribution as a dividend to the holders of our common stock. Our current plans are to use any profits that we may generate, if we generate any profits at all, to fund our operations. Therefore, any return on your investment would derive from an increase in the price of our stock, which may or may not occur.

We will need to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares of common stock and will, thereby, increase the number of common shares outstanding. There can be no assurance that this additional capital will be available and, if the capital is available at all, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us. The issuances of additional equity securities by Empire may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of its current security holders. Alternatively, we may have to borrow large sums, and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and capital payments. If we are able to raise additional capital, we cannot assure that it will be on terms that enhance the value of our common shares. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the business and future success will almost certainly be adversely affected.
 
IF WE ARE DISSOLVED, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT ASSETS REMAINING TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
 
In the event of our dissolution, any proceeds realized from the liquidation of our assets will be distributed to the shareholders only after all claims of our creditors and preferred shareholders, if any, are satisfied. In that case, the ability of purchasers of the offered common shares to recover any portion of his or her purchase price for the offered shares will depend on the amount of funds realized and the claims to be satisfied there from.
 
IF WE DO NOT REGISTER OUR COMMON STOCK UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, WE WILL NOT BE A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY. IF SO, POTENTIAL INVESTORS IN OUR COMMON STOCK WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CERTAIN INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE DISCLOSED BY A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY AND DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY.
 
Subsequent to the effective date of our registration statement, we intend to register our common stock under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1934 and therefore become a fully reporting company with the SEC

If we do not register our common stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we will be considered a Section 15(d) filer rather than a fully reporting company. In such a case, we will be only required to file annual reports on Form 10-K containing audited financial statements following the end of our fiscal year, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial statements for the first three quarters of our fiscal year following the end of such fiscal quarter, and current reports on Form 8-K shortly after the occurrence of certain material events with the SEC. We will also be required to comply with Rules 13e-3 and 13e-4 of the Exchange Act relating to going private and tender offers.
 
In such a case, unlike a fully reporting company, we will not be subject to the proxy rules and, and therefore, we will not be required to send proxy statements or information statements to our stockholders or file them with the SEC. Also the short swing reporting and profit recovery rules will not be applicable to our directors and officers and any person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the shares of our common stock. In addition, any person who acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the shares of our common stock will not be required to report such ownership to the SEC by filing a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G or provide a copy of such filing to us. Therefore, potential investors in our common stock will not have access to certain information that is required to be disclosed by a fully reporting company and directors, officers and certain stockholders of a fully reporting company.
 
AS WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CREATE OR SUSTAIN A MARKET FOR OUR SHARES, THEY MAY BE EXTREMELY ILLIQUID
 
If no market develops, the holders of our common stock may find it difficult or impossible to sell their shares. Further, even if a market develops, our common stock will be subject to fluctuations and volatility and Empire cannot apply directly to be quoted on the FINRA Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). Additionally, the stock may be listed or traded only to the extent that there is interest by broker-dealers in acting as a market maker in Empire's stock. Despite Empire's efforts, it may not be able to convince any broker/dealers to act as market-makers and make quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board. Empire may consider pursuing a listing on the OTCBB after this registration becomes effective and this is completed.
 
KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MAY LEAVE EMPIRE WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF EMPIRE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.
 
Because Empire is entirely dependent on the efforts of its president and director, his departure or the loss of other key personnel in the future, could have a materially adverse effect on the business. Empire believes that all commercially reasonable efforts have been made to minimize the risks associated with the departure by key personnel from service. However, there is no guarantee that replacement personnel, if any, will help Empire to operate profitably. Empire does not maintain key person life insurance on its sole officer and director.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding management's plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our planned entry into our service business. The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this prospectus include or relate to, among other things, (a) our projected profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our ability to obtain and retain sufficient capital for future operations, and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found under "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and "Description of Business," as well as in this prospectus generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" and matters described in this prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus may not in fact occur.
 
The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on the assumptions that we will be able to continue our business strategies on a timely basis, that we will attract customers, that there will be no materially adverse competitive conditions under which our business operates, that our sole officer and director will remain employed as such, and that our forecasts accurately anticipate market demand. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In addition, as disclosed elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and operations, which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Increases in the cost of our services, or in our general or administrative expenses, or the occurrence of extraordinary events, could cause actual results to vary materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements.
 
Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and subject to periodic revisions in order to reflect actual business conditions and developments. The impact of such conditions and developments could lead us to alter our marketing, capital investment or other expenditures and may adversely affect the results of our operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this prospectus, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
 
INFORMATION REGARDING SHARES BEING OFFERED FOR SALE UNDER THIS PROSPECTUS, AND THE TIMES AND MANNER IN WHICH THE SELLING SECURITY HOLDER MAY OFFER AND SELL THOSE SHARES, IS PROVIDED IN THE SECTIONS OF THIS PROSPECTUS ENTITLED "SELLING SECURITY HOLDER" AND "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION." EMPIRE WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THESE SALES. THE REGISTRATION OF COMMON SHARES PURSUANT TO THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT ANY OF THOSE SHARES WILL ULTIMATELY BE OFFERED OR SOLD BY THE SELLING SECURITY HOLDER.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling security holder. All proceeds from the sale of the shares offered hereby will be for the account of the selling security holder, as described below in the sections entitled "Selling Security Holder" and "Plan of Distribution."

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
The selling security holder may sell his shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $0.005 per share pursuant to this prospectus.  In the future he may sell shares of our common stock, as and if quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or listed for trading or quoted on any other public market, other than quotation in the pink sheets, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Our common stock is not now, nor has ever been, traded on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market. We cannot provide our investors with any assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or traded on any exchange. The offering price of $0.005 per share has been determined arbitrarily by us and does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earning per share. Additionally, because we have no significant operating history and have not generated any material revenues to date, the price of the common stock determined by us is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of the common stock indicative of the current market value of the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion. On October 15, 2009, Empire issued 22,460,000 shares to the selling security holder in exchange or cash and services rendered valued at $22,460 or $.001 per share.

DILUTION
 
The common stock to be sold by the selling security holder is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no further dilution to our existing shareholders.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDER
 
The following table sets forth the name of the selling security holder who may sell his shares under this prospectus from time to time. In addition, the following table provides certain information with respect to the selling security holders’ ownership of our securities as of the date of this prospectus, the total number of securities he may sell under this prospectus from time to time, and the number of securities he will own thereafter assuming no other acquisitions or dispositions of our securities. The selling security holder can offer all, some or none of his securities, thus we have no way of determining the number he will hold after this offering. Therefore, we have prepared the table below on the assumption that the selling security holder will sell all shares covered by this prospectus.
 
Other than the costs of preparing this prospectus and a registration fee to the SEC, we are not paying any costs relating to the sales by the selling security holder.
 
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth herein. See our discussion entitled "Plan of Distribution" for further information regarding the selling security holders’ method of distribution of these shares.
 
Empire issued 22,460,000 shares of common stock to its founder, Peter Dunn, on October 15, 2009 with a value of $0.001 per share for a total of $22,460.00. These shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The 22,460,000 shares of common stock are restricted shares as defined in the Securities Act.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares currently held by our principal shareholder to permit him and his transferees or other successors in interest to offer the shares from time to time. We will not offer any shares on behalf of Empire, and we will not receive any of the proceeds from any sales of shares by such selling security holder. The price at which the selling security holder may sell the shares pursuant to this prospectus has arbitrarily been determined by the selling security holder to be at $0.005 per share. The selling security holder and any of his pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their registered shares of common stock on any stock exchange market or trading facility on which our shares may be traded or in private transactions. The selling security holder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the shares being offered by him.
 
The selling security holders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling security holder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions, if our shares are ever approved for trading on an exchange or by other means. In the event that any donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest sells shares received from a person set forth on the “Selling Security Holder” table after the date of this prospectus, we will amend this prospectus by filing a post effective amendment to include the names of such donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest selling such shares and disclose the applicable compensation arrangements.
 
 
12

 

If our shares are approved for such trading, as to which we cannot provide any assurance, these dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein if our shares are approved for listing on an exchange or for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board:

● 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
● 
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
● 
purchases by a broker-dealer as principle and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
● 
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
● 
privately negotiated transaction;
● 
broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
● 
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
● 
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
● 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have no information on the manner or method by which the selling security holder may intend to sell shares. The selling security holder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make or not make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
 
If a trading market for our common stock develops, the selling security holder may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that the selling security holder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which, pursuant to this prospectus, may be below the then market price. We cannot assure you that all or any of the shares offered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling security holder. The selling security holder and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered by this prospectus, may be deemed "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules and regulations thereunder.
 
The selling security holder, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered by this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling security holder has entered into an agreement with a prospective underwriter. If a selling security holder enters into such an agreement or agreements, the relevant details will be set forth in a supplement or revision to this prospectus.
 
Under the regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in a distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock during the applicable "cooling off" periods prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the selling security holder will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of future purchases and sales of common stock by the selling security holder.
 
We have advised the selling security holder that, during such time as he may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares we are registering on their behalf in this registration statement, he is required to comply with Regulation M as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holders, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a "distribution" as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a "distribution participant" as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution. Our officers and directors, along with affiliates, will not engage in any hedging, short, or any other type of transaction covered by Regulation M. Regulation M prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security, except as specifically permitted by Rule 104 of Regulation M. These stabilizing transactions may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of those transactions. We have advised the selling security holder that stabilizing transactions permitted by Regulation M allow bids to purchase our common stock so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum, and that Regulation M specifically prohibits stabilizing that is the result of fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive practices. The selling security holder and distribution participants will be required to consult with their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M.

Prior to the date of this prospectus, there has not been any established trading market for our common stock. Following the consummation of this offering, we do not anticipate that any such trading market will develop. Accordingly, purchasers of our shares in this offering should be prepared to hold those shares indefinitely. We will seek a market maker to sponsor our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Application will then be made by the market maker to sponsor our shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. No market maker has yet undertaken to sponsor our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, and there can be no assurance that any market maker will make such an application or if a market does develop for our common stock as to the prices at which the our common stock will trade, if at all. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, the price at which it trades may fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our businesses generally, including the impact of the factors referred to in "Risk Factors," on page __, above, investor perception of Empire and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
 
Shares of common stock distributed pursuant to this prospectus will be freely transferable, except for shares of our common stock received by persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of Empire under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of Empire generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with us, and may include our senior officers and directors, as well as principal stockholders. Persons who are affiliates will be permitted to sell their shares of common stock only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as the exemption afforded by Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act.
 
Penny Stock Regulations
 
Our common stock will be considered a "penny stock" as defined by Section 3(a)(51) and Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A penny stock is any stock that:
 
sells for less than $5 a share,
is not listed on an exchange, and
is not a stock of a "substantial issuer."
 
We are not now a "substantial issuer" and cannot become one until we have net tangible assets of at least $5 million, which we do not now have.
 
Statutes and SEC regulations impose strict requirements on brokers that recommend penny stocks. Before a broker-dealer can recommend and sell a penny stock to a new customer who is not an institutional accredited investor, the broker-dealer must obtain from the customer information concerning the person's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Then, the broker-dealer must "reasonably determine"
 
that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person and
the person, or his/her advisor, is capable of evaluating the risks in penny stocks.
 
After making this determination, the broker-dealer must furnish the customer with a written statement describing the basis for this suitability determination. The customer must sign and date a copy of the written statement and return it to the broker-dealer. Finally the broker-dealer must also obtain from the customer a written agreement to purchase the penny stock, identifying the stock and the number of shares to be purchased. Compliance with these requirements can often delay a proposed transaction and can result in many broker-dealer firms adopting a policy of not allowing their representatives to recommend penny stocks to their customers.
 
 
14

 

 
The above penny stock regulatory scheme is a response by the Congress and the SEC to abuses in the marketing of low-priced securities by “boiler room” operators. The scheme imposes market impediments on the sale and trading of penny stocks. It limits a stockholder's ability to resell a penny stock.
 
Our management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
 
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
State Securities – Blue Sky Laws
 
Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities laws or securities regulations promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as "Blue Sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.

Non-cumulative voting rights means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. Peter Dunn, our president and director owns 93.6% of our outstanding shares.

Preferred Stock
 
At this time we have no plans to issue any preferred stock. Empire’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors, without stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of preferred stock in one or more series and to determine with respect to each such series the voting powers, if any (which voting powers, if granted, may be full or limited), designations, preferences, and relative, participating, option, or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions relating thereto. For example, our Board of Directors can determine the voting rights relating to preferred stock of any series (which may be one or more votes per share or a fraction of a vote per share, which may vary over time, and which may be applicable generally or only upon the happening and continuance of stated events or conditions), the rate of dividend to which holders of preferred stock of any series may be entitled (which may be cumulative or noncumulative), the rights of holders of preferred stock of any series in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of our company, the rights, if any, of holders of preferred stock of any series to convert or exchange such preferred stock of such series for shares of any other class or series of capital stock or for any other securities, property, or assets of our company or any subsidiary (including the determination of the price or prices or the rate or rates applicable to such rights to convert or exchange and the adjustment thereof, the time or times during which the right to convert or exchange shall be applicable, and the time or times during which a particular price or rate shall be applicable), whether or not the shares of that series shall be redeemable, and if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates, and whether any shares of that series shall be redeemed pursuant to a retirement or sinking fund or otherwise and the terms and conditions of such obligation.
 
Cash Dividends
 
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest future earnings, if any, in our business operations.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control. Sections 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes relate to control share acquisitions that may delay to make more difficult acquisitions or changes in our control. However, these provisions only apply when we have 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in the State of Nevada appearing on our stock ledger, and we do business in this state directly or through an affiliated corporation. Neither of the foregoing events seems likely to occur. Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders. Further, we do not do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do business in the State of Nevada in the future. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.
 
In addition, neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company contain any anti-takeover provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.

 
We have not engaged the services of a transfer agent at this time. However, within the next twelve months we anticipate doing so. Until such a time a transfer agent is retained, we will act as our own transfer agent.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
 
GENERAL OVERVIEW
 
Empire Post Media, Inc. was founded in the State of Nevada on October 13, 2009. Empire is currently marketing services that include most aspects of post-production, including, among other things, editing, sound and music finishing, special effects, main and end titles, mastering, digital intermediates and deliverables to producers and owners of independent feature films; television movies, specials and series; short subjects; and documentaries who have exhausted their financial resources and budgets. Empire also intends to arrange for these producers/owners, third person financing for these services. This will allow the producer or owner to complete the film by deferring the post production costs and expenses until the film is distributed and begins to generate revenue. Any and all financing may be collateralized by the film and/or the distribution rights.
 
Empire is in the development stage and has a limited history of operations. The Company’s current “burn rate” is approximately $4,000 per month. Other than some marketing costs and expenses associated with being a public company, estimated to be $20,000, we do not have any other near term capital requirements. However, we may attempt to raise additional capital at a future date, through a private placement or from our principal shareholder, if necessary, to build up our business by increasing our marketing program and name recognition. There is no assurance that such additional capital will be available to us.
 
Empire started operations October, 2009 and is in its early development stage. Empire has not yet generated any revenues. Since its inception, in October, 2009, Empire has incurred losses of $22,297. As of November 30, 2009, Empire had assets totaling $17,831 in cash and equipment and liabilities of $16,128, resulting in a Net Worth of $1,703.
 
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Empire intends to provide services that include most aspects of post-production, including, among other things, editing, sound and music finishing, special effects, main and end titles, and mastering to producers and owners of independent feature films; television movies, specials and series; short subjects; and documentaries who have exhausted their financial resources and budgets.  Empire intends to arrange financing for the producer and/or owner for these post production services, thus allowing the producer and/or owner to complete the film by deferring the post production costs and expenses until the film is distributed and begins to generate revenue. Any and all arranged financing may be collateralized by the film and the distribution and license rights associated therewith.

Empire believes there are a substantial number of productions which will not be able to directly purchase these services due to inadequate funding.  Empire believes its program meets those needs.

Empire intends to apply industry-standard retail charges for the post production services and then sub-contract such services to established post-production vendors at discounted wholesale rates.  Empire believes that it can achieve these discounted rates because of the volume of business it intends to sub-contract.  At this time there are no present agreements with post-production vendors, but management has had several conversations with qualified post production providers.

Empire initially intends to arrange the financing through third party lenders for the post production costs and to collateralize such financing with perfected, first position secured interests in each project’s distribution receipts, ahead of all other financing participants. The collateral available, on a project by project basis, is anticipated to range from distribution or sponsorship contracts payable on delivery of finished projects or on a schedule starting with various stages of post-production work or an assignment of rights in different medias and territories.

In view of management’s aggregate 70 plus years of experience in the entertainment industry, its history of relationships and contacts with established funding sources, and its experience in evaluating the various types and forms of collateral, management believes that it has the ability to execute its intended business plan.

The following describes some of the kinds of distribution security we may accept on a project-by-project basis:

Domestic Multi-rights Distribution Agreements:   These are generally from substantial credit-worthy companies and payment terms tend to be straightforward and dependent only on objective trigger events, such as delivery of specified materials(which Empire will have control over), first theatrical showing or “street date” of a DVD release.

Domestic Television Licenses: These are generally from premium cable networks and, to a lesser degree, from basic cable and broadcast networks.  Again, payment terms tend to be straightforward and dependent only on objective trigger events, e.g., delivery or first air date.  In the case of episodic television series, post-production work, delivery and payment will normally be on an episode by episode basis and conform to the same trigger events per episode.
 
International Sales: Usually a sales agent or the producer licenses specified rights or media for a defined term.  These agreements usually set forth the amounts to be paid and the trigger events for making such payments, with the bulk of the payment generally coming on the delivery or availability of the finished film. Empire anticipates that some of its clients will offer assignment of the post-delivery contractual payments on such distribution agreements as part of their collateral against post-production services.


 
17

 


Soft Money:   Although location-based tax rebates or credits are most often used in connection with the financing of productions, there are occasions where a producer has elected not to pledge the value of these rebates and therefore they are available to collateralize post-production services.  There are certain arms-length experts in this area who can confirm the projected value of the tax rebates or credits based on a film’s budget and the parameters of the individual program and Empire will obtain an expert opinion, when and if such expertise is required.

Estimated Sales:   Estimates are projections of saleable but unsold rights or territories.  Such projections require the knowledge of experienced sales agents and international distributors who know the potential buyers in all territories can judge the likelihood of sales and sales amounts, along with the general financial status and expected timeliness of payments from licensees.  We believe that many of our customers will come with a sales agent already attached and an estimate of sales values.  In these instances, we will contract with experts to make an independent analysis on Empire’s behalf.  We may also retain the services of global collection agents to confirm the paying ability and overall reliability of territorial sub-distributors around the world when necessary.

MARKET AND MARKETING

With several hundred local independent motion picture and television productions launched each year, Empire believes that at any given time there are dozens of producers who have completed principal photography and are seeking post-production, completion and delivery services on a deferred payment basis and have the collateral that would qualify under Empire’s criteria.  Los Angeles is a well-established post-production center and even films that are produced elsewhere tend to gravitate back to this community for post services.

Management believes that much of its initial business will come from the various post-production companies that we will contract with for services as cash-conscious producers attempt to spread out various aspects of post-production costs on a future payment basis among multiple vendors in order to complete their films.  These post-production companies, as Empire’s sub-contractors, will have the ability to capture the whole of post-production work on a deferred payment basis, assuming the producer has acceptable collateral.

We also intend to market our services to the wider production and talent agency community and perhaps also to strike parallel arrangements with other qualified post-production houses, commensurate with its resources and ability to undertake a volume of qualified projects in excess of the work flow projected for the first year of operations.  Using personal relationships nurtured over many years, management plans to introduce its services to the broad entertainment industry infrastructure that would be aware of projects needing those services—producers, lawyers, bankers, accountants, non-institutional and boutique funders, production companies, completion guarantors, etc.

The Company is in the development stage and therefore intends to rely totally on external sources of financing to fund the arranged financial segment of its intended business plan. This would include financing from professional and institutional financiers that are already committed to broad investment programs in the entertainment industry.  There is no assurance that we will be able to secure any financing commitments which would have a materially adverse affect on our business.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

We expect to grow sales by both increasing the number of projects we undertake and increasing the size of those projects, subject to the limitations of available financing.  Other areas for growth, based on success in the initial program, include establishing similar programs in other production/post-production centers in Canada, the UK and France, where there are attractive subsidies and rebates.

THE POST-PRODUCTION INDUSTRY

Movie making is a complicated business, but the workload is generally split into three sections: pre-production, principal shooting and post-production. Pre-production involves matters such as scriptwriting, financial backing, hiring of cast and crew, and scouting for locations. Once all of these details have been worked out, principal shooting can begin. This is the actual filming of individual scenes, without any special effects or musical background.

All of this planning and filming leads up to the most vital aspect of film making — post-production work. Post-production turns individual scenes, called raw footage, into a finished motion picture. Editors splice all of the usable footage together into a coherent storyline according to the script. Composers add background music to create dramatic or comical effects. Special effects teams add computer generated images and backgrounds to enhance the set or provide an as-yet-unseen character. All of this work can only be performed during post-production.

 
18

 

Post-production may also involve fixing mistakes not corrected during principal shooting. Quite often an actor's microphone will not pick up crucial bits of dialogue or another microphone may pick up extraneous noises. During post-production, an actor may have to return to a sound booth in order to re-record lost dialogue or improve the original delivery. This is called looping . Another function of post-production is to add incidental sound effects not captured during the original scenes. A specialist called a foley artist will record such sounds as an actor's footsteps, a creaking door or gunshots.
 
Many directors and producers rely heavily on the ability of post-production teams to create a marketable film. Since principal shooting can be a hectic time for both actors and directors, some footage may prove to be unusable during the post-production editing process. A film's original ending may also be unpopular with test audiences. This could lead to reshoots with the principal actors before a final film is produced. Other responsibilities during post-production may include publicity tours, promotional posters, and contracts with distributors and the creation of auxiliary formats such as DVDs and soundtrack albums.
 
Los Angeles is the center of the post-production industry in the US, with more vendors than any other post-production center, including Toronto, Montreal or London. For instance, according to LA411.com, there are almost 200 full service post-production houses and approximately 160 audio houses that just do sound in the Los Angeles area.. Therefore, management expects to have no difficulty finding sufficient vendors to deliver quality post-production services on a discounted basis.
 
COMPETITION
 
As indicated above, there are approximately 200 full service post-production companies in the Los Angeles area and many more located in other areas of the United States who are engaged in the post-production and finance business and this segment is highly competitive.  Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources as well as greater managerial capabilities than we do and are therefore, in certain respects, in a better position than we are to provide post-production services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these businesses.

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

Our management team consists of three senior executives who have over 70 years of combined experience in various aspects of movie making including film finance and post production. We believe that, even though currently, our three executives only devote less than 25 hours a week to our business, through their contacts with financing sources and post-production service providers, we will be able to meet our business goals.

EMPLOYEES
 
Mr. Dunn is the President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and a Director (Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer) of Empire.  Currently, in addition to Mr. Dunn, Empire has two other part-time officers and no other employees; however Empire plans to employ individuals on an as needed basis. Most of our services will be performed by approved sub-contractors in the L.A. area thus reducing the number of employees required.  Empire anticipates that it will need to hire additional employees as the business grows.
 
In addition, Empire may expand the size of its Board of Directors in the future. Currently Mr. Dunn, the president, Mr. Fink, the executive vice-president, and Mr. Jackson, the vice-president post-production, devote fewer than 25 hours per week to the affairs of Empire and neither he nor any other officer receives a salary or benefits in any form. However, commencing December 1, 2010, we have begun accruing $1,000 per month for Mr. Dunn and $250 per month and $100 per month for Mr. Fink and Mr. Jackson, respectively. Empire does not have any plans to begin paying salaries, cash or otherwise, or offering any form of benefits to our Board of Directors until we begin generating revenues. See “Executive Compensation – Employment Agreements.”
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
 
We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.
 
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
 
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
Currently, Empire has not entered into any lease agreement for office facilities. We are using the offices of a company affiliated with Mr. Dunn, Empire’s president as our principal executive offices, which are located at 280 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90212l, Telephone (310) 472-5138. . We believe our current premises are adequate for our current operations and we do not anticipate that we will require any additional premises in the foreseeable future.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
  
 
Our securities are not listed on any exchange or quotation service. We are not required to comply with the timely disclosure policies of any exchange or quotation service. The requirements to which we would be subject if our securities were so listed typically include the timely disclosure of a material change or fact with respect to our affairs and the making of required filings. Although we are not required to deliver an annual report to security holder, Empire intends to provide an annual report to our shareholders, which will include audited financial statements.
 
As of the date of this Prospectus we have five shareholders.

When we become a reporting company with the SEC, the public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the Security and Exchange Commission's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is www.sec.gov.
 
DIVIDEND POLICY
 
There have been no cash dividends declared on our common stock and we do not expect to pay any in the foreseeable future. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the board of directors.
 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to the historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods.
 
Our business and results of operations are affected by a wide variety of factors as we discuss under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus, which could materially and adversely affect actual results. As a result of these factors, we may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
 
GENERAL OVERVIEW
 
Empire was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 13, 2009, with a business plan for providing and financing post-production services to the movie and television industry. Empire is in the development stage and has not generated any revenues as of the date of this prospectus.
 
Empire is paying the expenses of the offering because it seeks to (i) become a reporting company with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"); and (ii) enable our common stock to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. We believe that the registration of the sale of shares on behalf of our largest existing security holder may facilitate the development of a public market in our common stock if our common stock is approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

GENERAL DISCUSSION ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
We begin our General Discussion and Analysis with a discussion of the Results of Operations for Empire, since its inception on October 13, 2009, followed by a discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources available to finance our operations.
 
Critical accounting policies and estimates
 
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR60”) issued by the SEC, suggests companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on those accounting policies considered most critical. FRR 60 considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to Empire’s financial condition and results of operations, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. For a summary of Empire’s significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, see the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
The preparation of Empire’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, Empire evaluates its estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions. The following accounting policies require significant management judgments and estimates:
 
Empire bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There is no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates.

INCOME TAXES
 
  
RESULTS OF OPERATION
  
Empire is a development stage company that has a limited history of operations. Since our inception on October 13, 2009 to November 30, 2009, we have generated no revenues. As of November 30, 2009, we had $3,000 in current assets. We presently do not have the capital to commence the operations outlined and detailed in this prospectus.
  
We incurred a net loss of $22,297, from inception on October 13, 2009 to the period ended November 30, 2009. Empire has had no revenues over the same period and has incurred expenses of $22,297, during the same period relating to the initial formation of Empire and other initial operating costs.
  
PLAN OF OPERATION
  
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares under this prospectus. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing.  We estimate that our capital requirements for the next 6 months will be in the range of $24,000 to $30,000.
  
Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for the next six months, and we will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business for the next six months. Our “burn rate” is approximately $4,000 per month. Most of our expenses are anticipated to be legal, accounting, transfer agent, and other costs associated with being a public company. Since we intend to utilize our officers and directors, who currently are part time and whose salaries are being accrued, to sell our services, our marketing costs should be minimal. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with the security holder or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital.
 
 
21

 
If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing security holder would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.
 
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their report of our financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2009, stating that our net loss of $22,297, lack of revenues and dependence on our ability to raise additional capital to continue our existence, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements and their explanatory notes included as part of this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we fail to obtain additional financing, either through an offering of our securities or by obtaining loans, we may be forced to cease our business.
 
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, which are estimated at approximately $25,000.00.  The selling security holder, however, will pay any distribution costs and commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock. If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing security holder would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current existing shareholder of our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.
 
LIQUIDITY
 
Since our inception on October 13, 2009 to November 30, 2009, we have incurred a loss of $22,297. Our cash and cash equivalent balances were $3,000 as of November 30, 2009.  At November 30, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit of $22,297 and our total current liabilities due to accounts payable and amounts due to related parties were $16,128.
 
On October 15, 2009, Empire issued 24,000,000 shares of its common stock, at $0.001 per share, for an aggregate value of $24,000.00.
 
Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next year. In addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our operations for at least the next year. We will need to obtain additional financing to conduct our day-to-day operations, and to fully execute our business plan. We anticipate raising the capital necessary to fund our business through a subsequent offering of equity securities. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with security holder or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us.
 
We estimate that our “burn rate” is approximately $4,000 per month. Management has estimated the cost over the next six months to be (a) between $6,000 and $15,000 to continue to marketing and financing of post-production services to the entertainment industry, and (b) $9,000 to maintain our reporting status. Therefore our current cash on hand will not satisfy our cash requirements for the next six months and as such our CEO and director, Mr. Dunn, will need to arrange additional financial commitments to our company, which is not guaranteed. On January 25, 2010, Mr. Dunn agreed to loan us up to $25,000 pursuant to an Agreement to Advance Funds between Empire and Mr. Dunn. We will use these funds for use towards fees and expenses related to this offering and to sustain our business over the next six month period, as the expenses are incurred, in the form of a non-secured loan. Although Mr. Dunn may be willing to make some personal additional financial commitments, the total additional amount that he is willing to invest has not yet been determined.

We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements - primarily the working capital required for the marketing of our services and to offset legal and accounting fees - by additional financing. This will likely be in the form of future debt or equity financing.
 
Management believes that if we obtain sufficient funds to operate our business through future debt or equity financing, we may generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional debt or equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
 
If we are unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds through future equity financing we will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new development stage company to secure. Therefore, we are highly dependent upon the future equity financing and/or support from our existing shareholders. However, if such debt financing were available, because we are a development stage company with no operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If we cannot raise additional proceeds via future debt or equity financing we would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in our common stock would lose all of their investment. Also management believes if we cannot raise sufficient revenues or maintain our reporting status with the SEC we will have to cease all efforts directed towards our business. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.

 
22

 

If we are unable to complete any phase of our development or marketing efforts because we don't have enough money, we will cease our development and/or or marketing operations until we raise the necessary money. Attempting to raise capital after failing in any phase of our development plan could be difficult. As such, if we cannot secure additional proceeds we will have to cease operations and investors would lose their entire investment.
 
Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion, which is included in the financial statements included in this Form S-1 filing. . This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no substantial revenues are anticipated. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by our CEO and director. We must raise cash to implement our business strategy and stay in business.
 
As of November 30, 2009, we had a demand note payable to Mr. Dunn totaling $15,407.64. The note represents the purchase by Empire of computer equipment and software totaling $15,407.64.
 
Financing Activities
 
Financing activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $3,000 from October 13, 2009 (date of inception) to November 30, 2009.
 
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next Twelve Months
 
As of November 30, 2009, our cash balance was $3,000.  Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next six months, estimated to be between $24,000, and $30,000, is through generating revenue from our services, sale of shares of our common stock, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate some services-generated income during that same period of time, but do not anticipate generating sufficient amounts of revenues to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to make appropriate plans to insure sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities.
 
Expected Purchase or Sale of Significant Equipment
 
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment, as such items are not required by us at this time or in the next twelve months.
 
Additional Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data
 
As of November 30, 2009, we had 24,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial statements, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

MARTIN FINK
 
Mr. Fink was appointed Executive Vice-President and Director of Empire on October 15, 2009.  He has been involved in the financing, production and risk management of motion pictures for over 40 years. Mr. Fink entered film production in the 1960’s at 20 th Century Fox as part of the team that produced “Von Ryan’s Express,” starring Frank Sinatra, “Fantastic Voyage,” starring Raquel Welch, “Our Man Flint” and “In Like Flint,” both of which starred James Coburn.  He was the producer of the critically acclaimed “Payday” in 1973 and associate producer of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest,” which won five Academy Awards including Best Picture in 1976.  During the 1980s he was president of Eagle Entertainment, Inc., a fully-reporting NASDAQ company which was active in both the development and production of motion pictures and completion bonding.  From 1990 to 1996, he was the president of Complete Film Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carolco Pictures, a producer and financier of high budget “event” movies.

Mr. Fink has provided completion bond and/or production management and advisory services for more than 30 feature films, including “Total Recall” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” both of which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger; “Basic Instinct,” starring Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone; “The Doors.” starring Val Kilmer; “Rambling Rose,” starring Laura Dern;  “Cliffhanger” and “Judge Dredd,” starring Sylvester Stallone; “Stargate,” starring Kurt Russell; “Die Hard with  a Vengeance,” starring Bruce Willis; “The Scarlet Letter,” starring Demi Moore; “Shadow Conspiracy,” starring Charlie Sheen; “Nixon,” starring Anthony Hopkins; “Lolita,” starring Jeremy Irons; and “Evita,” starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas.

From l996-2000, Mr. Fink, as manager of New Beginnings Enterprises LLC, provided monitoring and support services to a London-based financier in connection with approximately 25 lower budget feature films, including Oscar-winner “Gods and Monsters.”.  These services included the design and construction of a new state-of-the-art digital post-production facility and supervision of production, post-production and sales of the films.  During the same period, he was executive producer of “Beautiful,” starring Minnie Driver and directed by Sally Field, and “ Young Blades ,” starring Ben Cross, production executive on “Exhuming Mr. Rice,” starring David Bowie, and co-producer of “ The Opportunists,” starring Christopher Walken and Cyndi Lauper.

Mr. Fink was also Chairman of the Board of U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, the third largest independent stock transfer agency in the United States, for over 25 years until it was sold in February 2007 to Computershare Ltd., the largest share registry company in the world.  Since 2003, he has been a principal of Complete Rights Management LLC, which provides advisory, back office and production services to financiers, producers, distributors, sales agents, libraries and completion guarantors.  He was an associate producer of Sir Trevor Nunn’s London production of “GONE WITH THE WIND: The Musical” in 2008.

  KYLE JACKSON
 
Mr. Jackson was appointed Vice-President-Post-production on October 15, 2009.  He was a founding partner in 2005, of Santa Monica-based Tunnel Post, a post-production company, of which he is president.  He has a long track record of technology-based creative endeavors.  At only fourteen years of age, Mr. Jackson went to work as a graphic designer and 3D animator.  His clients during his high school years included ABC, Pentax Cameras, Big O Tires and Autodesk, among several others. In 2002, while getting his college degree at the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television Production, he also worked on the development of Final Cut Pro for Apple and lent his hand in editing several feature length projects.
 
Immediately following his last semester of college, Mr. Jackson left Apple to direct his first full-length feature film, "Chasing Ghosts", which was acquired by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in 2005.  It was while in post-production on "Chasing Ghosts" that, out of necessity, he created the concept and developed the software for a new technology now known as Desktop Digital Intermediate.  From this pioneering development he launched Tunnel Post.  Less than two years later the resulting software was acquired by Apple which incorporated it as Color in Final Cut Pro, the industry’s dominant digital editing technology.
 
Since its inception, Tunnel has repeatedly been an innovator in post-production technologies and work-flow processes, including several newly-created software solutions.  Under Mr. Jackson’s leadership, Tunnel has grown into an industry recognized and respected business, working on over 40 film and television productions annually, enabling him to participate in producing, directing, and editing content as well as developing several new technologies related to the entire filmmaking process, from development to distribution.

Over the past five years, Mr. Jackson has been in charge of providing post-production services on a deferred, collateralized basis to approximately a dozen feature films.  He is credited as post-production producer on many films during that period, including “How To Rob A Bank,” “Reservations,” “The Art of Travel,” Love Lies Bleeding,” “The Hustle,” “Toxic,” “Love ‘N Dancing,” “Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever,” “Across The Hall” and the documentary “The People Speak.”
 
Mr. Jackson has often been invited to both technology and film finance seminars and conventions to contribute as a panelist or guest speaker.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Empire does not presently have an Audit Committee and the entire Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. Empire intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint an Audit Committee.

In lieu of an Audit Committee the Board is empowered to make such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting and the external audits of Empire, to provide to the Board of Directors (the "Board") the results of its examinations and recommendations derived there from, to outline to the Board improvements made, or to be made, in internal control, to nominate independent auditors, and to provide to the Board such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters that require Board attention.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Empire does not presently have a Nominating Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. Empire intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint a Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee will be authorized to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the executive officers and directors of Empire, including stock compensation, and bonus compensation to all employees.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Empire does not have a Nominating Committee and the Board acts in such capacity.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Upon becoming registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act of 1934”), Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, will require that Empire's directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of its equity securities, file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its common stock and other equity securities. Executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish Empire with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

Employment Agreement

To date, Empire has no written employment agreements in effect, with its Executive Officers. Messrs. Dunn, Fink, and Jackson have agreed commencing January 1, 2010, to a monthly salary of $1,000, $250, and $100, respectively, until revenues from operations reach $30,000 per month. In addition, each of these executives has also agreed to have Empire accrue such salaries until revenues from operations reach $30,000 per month. When Empire does generate revenues of $30,000 per month, Messrs. Dunn, Fink, and Jackson may negotiate with Empire, salaries and benefits that are reasonable to all parties.

Stock option plan

We do not have a stock option plan and we have not issued any warrants, options or other rights to acquire our securities. However, we intend to adopt an incentive and non-statutory stock option plan during the first half of the year 2010.

Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or other Retirement Plans

We do not have a defined benefit, pension plan, profit sharing or other retirement plan, although we may adopt one or more of such plans in the future.

Director's compensation

At present we do not pay our directors compensation for attending meetings of our Board of Directors, although we expect to adopt a director compensation policy by the end of the year 2010. We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for any services provided as a director or for committee participation or special assignments, but may reimburse Directors for reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following tables set forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our securities as of January __, 2010 by (i) each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of each class of our voting securities, (ii) each of our directors and executive officers, and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. We believe that each individual or entity named has sole investment and voting power with respect to the securities indicated as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable, except where otherwise noted:

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

On October 15, 2009, Empire purchased computer equipment and software from its President, Mr. Dunn, for $15,407.64, evidenced by a promissory note, bearing interest at $8% per annum, due on demand.  The equipment and software was valued at Mr. Dunn’s cost and Empire believes that such price was reasonable and the same that would be paid if it were in an arms-length transaction.

On January 25, 2010, Mr. Dunn, President of Empire, executed an Agreement to Advance Funds up to $25,000 (the “Agreement”) with Empire.  Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, this loan will be on an interest-free basis, documented by a promissory note and payable only (a) quarterly payments equal to 10% of Empire’s net profits, (b) payment in full upon receipt by Empire of not less than $500,000 in capital, or (c) payment in full upon the sale of substantially all of Empire’s assets or 80% of its capital. We intend to use the funds to be received in connection with this promissory note, for costs and expenses related to this offering, and for other business expenses during our development stage.

Other than as set forth above, there are no, and have not been since inception, any material agreements or proposed transactions, whether direct or indirect, with any of the following:

*The Director or Officer;
* any nominee for election as a director;
* any principal security holder identified in the preceding "Security Ownership of Selling security holders and Management" section; or
* any relative, spouse, or relative of such spouse, of the above referenced person.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of the offering, we will have outstanding 24,000,000 shares of common stock. Of these shares, the 12,000,000 shares to be sold in the offering, will be freely tradable in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act, unless the shares are held by our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

The remaining shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the offering will be "restricted securities," as that term is defined in Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, such as the exemption afforded by Rule 144.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

We have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation that limit the liability of our Directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the Nevada Revised Statutes. Nevada law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:

* for any breach of their fiduciary duty of loyalty to Empire or its security holders;
* for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law;
* for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, as provided under Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes; or,
* for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

In addition, our bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on our behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes, if our board of directors authorizes the proceeding for which such person is seeking indemnification (other than proceedings that are brought to enforce the indemnification provisions pursuant to the bylaws).

These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Empire’s executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

EMPIRE POST MEDIA, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2009

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Empire Post Media, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Empire Post Media, Inc. (a development stage Company) (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2009 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from October 13, 2009 (date of inception) through November 30, 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Empire Post Media, Inc. as of November 30, 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from October 13, 2009 through November 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenue, generates operating losses, and has a negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at November 30, 2009.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Since inception the Company has not conducted any revenue-producing business operations, all of the operating results and cash flows reported in the accompanying financial statements from October 13, 2009 through November 30, 2009 are considered to be those related to the development stage activities and represent the 'cumulative from inception' amounts required to be reported pursuant to the accounting standards for Development Stage Enterprises.  The Company is focusing its efforts on developing its business of providing post production services.

Going Concern

The Company has no revenue and has generated a net operating loss since its inception.  The Company also has a negative working capital and accumulated deficit at November 30, 2009.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions.  Management plans to raise additional capital through stock offerings in order to build up the business and name recognition.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to fully implement its business model.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and consists solely of computer equipment. All of the computer equipment was purchased by an officer/shareholder of the Company immediately preceding its transfer to the Company. Therefore the transferor’s historical cost is the same as the cost of the asset.  Depreciation of computer equipment is computed on the straight-line basis over 3 years, the estimated useful life of the equipment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Management uses its knowledge of its business in making estimates.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and notes payable, approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments.

The fair value of financial instruments is categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The categories are as follows:

Level Input:
 
Input Definition:
     
Level I
 
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level II
 
Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III
 
Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at November 30, 2009, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue will be recognized in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC 605-10-25, which is when the revenue is realized or realizable, and when revenue is earned.  Revenue is considered earned when the services to be rendered under the contracts are substantially completed.  All contracts will be collateralized with a legally perfected, secured interest in each project’s distribution receipts and other revenues.
 
Consulting Fees
 
Consulting fees include fees for services provided by an officer/shareholder of the Company and an attorney. During the period ended November 30, 2009, the Company issued 20,250,000 shares of common stock as payment for consulting services rendered, which were valued at $20,250. The shares of common stock were valued at the estimated fair market value of $0.001 per share.
 
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10.  Under this standard, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company is unable to make the determination that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will be realized.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted the changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the authoritative hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”). ASU’s will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company recently adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events” (ASC 855). Specifically, these changes set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, which changes the fair value accounting for liabilities. These changes clarify existing guidance that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using either a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of either a similar liability or a quoted price of an identical or similar liability when traded as an asset, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurements, such as an income approach (e.g., present value technique). This guidance also states that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability and a quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2010. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3.
NOTE PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDER

At November 30, 2009, the Company has an outstanding note payable balance, bearing 8% interest, due on demand, due from an officer/shareholder of the Company in the amount of $15,408.

4.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Cash Deposits

The Company maintains its cash at a financial institution.  The account is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000.  On May 20, 2009, the FDIC temporarily increased its coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013.  The Company’s cash account, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

5.
INCOME TAXES

At November 30, 2009, total deferred income tax assets consist principally of net operating loss carryforwards in amounts still to be determined.  For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been recognized in an amount equal to such deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainly surrounding their ultimate realization.

6.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company uses the offices of a company affiliated with its president, as its principal executive offices.  The space occupied by Empire Post Media, Inc. is de minimus.
 
7.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 25, 2010, an officer/shareholder of the Company agreed to advance up to $25,000 to the Company for use towards fees and expenses relating to the offering of 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by the officer/shareholder and for other business costs.  The advanced funds bear no interest and becomes due as the Company earns profits, receives a certain level of capital financing, or upon sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or 80% of the Company’s capital stock.

In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company has performed a review of events subsequent to the balance sheet date through February 26, 2010, the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws.

Indemnification

Chapter 78 of the NRS, pertaining to private corporations, provides that we are required to indemnify our officers and directors to the extent that they are successful in defending any actions or claims brought against them as a result of serving in that position, including criminal, civil, administrative or investigative actions and actions brought by or on behalf of Empire.

Chapter 78 of the NRS further provides that we are permitted to indemnify our officers and directors for criminal, civil, administrative or investigative actions brought against them by third parties and for actions brought by or on behalf of Empire, even if they are unsuccessful in defending that action, if the officer or director:

(a) is not found liable for a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as an officer or director or to have engaged in intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law; or
(b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Empire, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

However, with respect to actions brought by or on behalf of Empire against its officers or directors, Empire is not permitted to indemnify its officers or directors where they are adjudged by a court, after the exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to Empire for amounts paid in settlement to Empire, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that the officers or directors are entitled to be indemnified.
Our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by law for any threatened, pending or completed actions or proceedings, whether they be civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including actions or proceedings brought by or in the right of our company.

Advance of Expenses

As permitted by Chapter 78 of the NRS, our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, we are to advance funds to our officers or directors for the payment of expenses incurred in connection with defending a proceeding brought against them in advance of a final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding. However, as a condition of our doing so, the officers or directors to which funds are to be advanced must provide us with undertakings to repay any advanced amounts if it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified for those expenses.

 
II - 1

 

Insurance
 
Chapter 78 of the NRS and our Bylaws also allow us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of our officers or directors, regardless of whether we have the authority to indemnify them against such liabilities or expenses.

Item 17.  Undertakings

A.  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:
 
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; 
 
(b) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and 
 
(c) 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time 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. Intentionally omitted.

5. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

i. Intentionally omitted.
 
ii. If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

6. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
 
II - 2

 

B.  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 provisions described under Item 14 above 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 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.
