Look ok to you? (redacted) not identified. Analysis that it is exempt as part of the formation of Jt. Venture partnership [?] is one possible basis of analysis. Alternatively if partnership [?] is regarded as newly formed & w/o regularly prepared balance sheet using all moneys put in as capital depositary units to make one acquisition then it is below $10 MM in size because of pass through rule & exempt.

Re: (redacted)


Dear Mr. Abrahamsen:


I am writing to confirm our telephone conversation of October 30, 1985, with regard to the formation of the above partnership.


(redacted) whose purpose is to engage in the production, co-production, acquisition and exploitation of (redacted). The organization of the Partnership has proceeded as follows. (redacted) with capital contributions of $100,000. (redacted) a wholly-owned subsidiary of (redacted) is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership. The Partnership will shortly begin an offering of depositary units to the public. After the sale of sufficient units to raise $10 million from the public, there will be an initial closing. At this initial closing, the funds subscribed by the public, less selling commissions will be transferred to the Partnership. At the same time, (redacted) will transfer an equivalent sum. The Partnership will then transfer both sums to (redacted) in return for pro-rata ownership of three of (redacted) motion picture films which are currently in varying stages of completion. The three films which will be transferred are specifically referred to as identical films in the Partnerships Registration Statement.

It is my understanding from our telephone conversation that, under Section 801.40 of the Regulations, the formation of the Partnership is not subject to the requirements of Hart-Scott, because it is not in corporate form, and that the transfer of the three identical films, being part of the formation transaction, accordingly does not require a Hart-Scott filing.


Thank you again for your assistance in this matter.


Sincerely,


(redacted)
