Form 10-KT for the Transition Period ended June 30, 2024
Financial Statements
Note 7 - Asset Purchase Agreement , page 19
We note that you have inconsistent disclosures about your recent issuance of
90,784,800 shares and payment of $10,069,000, indicating you arranged to acquire
"the assets of" Rivulet Media, Inc. (the Seller identified in the agreement attached to
the Form 8-K that you filed on March 7, 2024), while also indicating you intend to
account for the transaction as a reverse merger, as if you acquired the Seller instead.
Based on your disclosure on page 1, explaining that post merger, you engage in
the production, distribution and marketing of commercial feature-length films,
television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial development
through principal photography, postproduction, distribution and ancillary sales, it
appears you may have acquired a business rather than assets. However, your valuation
and presentation of the consideration shares as an asset is also not consistent with the
accounting that would apply for a reverse acquisition under FASB ASC 805-40.
1.

Page 2
Please explain to us how you have evaluated all aspects of the acquisition relative to
the guidance in FASB ASC 805-10-55-3A through 55-9, and Rule 11-01(d) of
Regulation S-X, in formulating a view.
2.If you acquired a business in a reverse acquisition, tell us how you propose to comply
with the requirement to file financial statements of the business, which would need to
cover its two most recently completed fiscal years on an audited basis, and any
subsequent interim periods on an unaudited basis.
Please explain to us how the composition of the financial statements would be
determined, whether these would be depicted as carve-out financial statements or
financial statements of entities under common control, and tell us how these would
compare to the consolidated financial statements of Rivulet Media, Inc.,
with identification and quantification of all material differences.
Given that you amended the acquisition agreement after the closing date on three
occassions to change the composition of the assets that would be included and the
consideration to be exchanged, also explain to us how you propose to reflect those
changes in the historical financial presentation, and describe your rationale.
3.Given that you were a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of Regulation 12B)
prior to entering into the acquisition, if you acquired a business, a Form 8-K having
all of the information that would be required in a general form for registration of
securities on Form 10 would have been required within four days of completing the
transaction in July 2024, to comply with either Item 2.01(f) or Item 5.01(a)(8) of
Form 8-K, depending on whether or not there was also a change in control.
With regard to the requirements for subsequent periodic reports, we note that you
identified June 30, 2024 as a new fiscal year-end and filed financial statements
covering the transition period that ended on that date. Based on this alone, it appears
that you should have filed a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as
the initial periodic report subsequent to the change, to comply with Rule 13a-10(e)(3)
and Rule 13a-13 of Regulation 13A. However, if you completed a reverse acquisition,
the historic reporting of the accounting acquiree would ordinarily be superceded by
the historical reporting of the accounting acquiror. As such, explain to us how the new
fiscal year that you have selected compares to the fiscal year that has been in use by
the entity that would be depicted as the accounting acquirer, and if you will be
accounting for the transaction as a reverse merger, explain to us how the financial
presentation in your initial periodic report following the event will align with and
follow the financial reporting that you will provide in the Form 8-K that is filed to
address the requirements cited in the first paragraph above.
Tell us why you have not filed these reports and describe any efforts that you have
undertaken to obtain audited financial statements for the business acquired, describe
the status of any related activities that are underway, and the expected timeframe that
will be necessary to finalize those efforts and comply with your reporting obligations.

4.Tell us whether your issuance of the consideration shares culminating in July 2024
resulted in a change in contol, and provide us with details of the changes in ownership
interests that occurred in connection with this transaction, to include interests held by
and among investors in your company, Rivulet Media, Inc., JJW Investments, LLC,
Genius Equity, LLC, and all affiliates, members, shareholders, and related persons.
5.We note the disclosures on pages 4 and 14 of the Form 10-K that you filed on March
27, 2024, indicating that you had entered into a Letter of Intent with Rivulet Media,
Inc. on July 14, 2023 to purchase from its then current shareholders all of the issued
and outstanding shares of its common stock, preferred stock, and warrants in
exchange for the same number and designation of securities to be issued by you.
However, your announcement of the Asset Purchase Agreement in the March 7, 2024
Form 8-K indicates this disclosure from your annual report had been superceded.
Please clarify the current status of the Letter of Intent and describe to us all changes in
status, including the reasons and attending circumstances, and explain to us how the
exchange associated with the transaction described in your transition report
compares to the transaction that you had contemplated with the Letter of Intent.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
Please contact John Cannarella at 202-551-3337 or Karl Hiller at 202-551-3686 if you
have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
