Auctions clarifies arrangement between Rangemore and Flick Me
MIAMI BEACH, FL, March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Auctions International Inc. ("Auctions") (OTCPINK: AUCI) would like to clarify to shareholders the arrangement between Rangemore Productions Corp. ("Rangemore") and its new joint venture partner Flick Me Productions Limited ("Flick Me") and how it will affect Rangemore. The basic understanding is as follows:
Flick Me will make an agreement with a scriptwriter to develop a specific film project then will become the Executive Producer and hold the bulk of the royalties. For this, Flick Me will finance the project using the HMRC Enterprise Investment Scheme. As previously announced, Flick Me will be able to issue a 30% tax credit for any cash investment and can raise up to £16 million annually for one or multiple projects. There is a very high demand for this type of investment.
Rangemore will provide the studio and production facilities for which it will receive compensation in the form of cash and a royalty for each project utilizing the facilities. Rangemore will also have the opportunity to increase its royalty percentage by issuing Flick Me common or preferred stock. The purpose of acquiring a royalty is that Rangemore can participate in the box office success of the projects - it is the "Blue Sky" of the business plan. The end goal is to keep the studio at maximum occupancy while creating a diversified portfolio of film royalties.
In addition to the above, each year Flick Me can apply for a Film Tax Credit to get a refund for up to 25% of expenditures incurred in any of the projects. This application is filed with the annual corporate tax return and any refund received is then be passed on to the initial investors or reinvested into future projects.
"The combination of Flick Me and Rangemore is very unique" stated Andrew McLaughlin, President & CEO of Rangemore "with Flick Me providing sourcing and funding of the film projects, matched with Rangemore and its studio facilities making for a very strong partnership" continued Mr. McLaughlin.
