Description of Business
Background.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on February 16, 2010 under the name
"China Advanced Technology" as the successor by merger to Vitalcare Diabetes
Treatment Centers, Inc. ("Vitalcare"). In February and March 2010, Vitalcare
underwent a holding company reorganization under Delaware law, pursuant to which
it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vitalcare Holding Corporation, and
Vitalcare, together with its assets and liabilities, was sold to a
non-affiliated third party. Vitalcare Holding Corporation subsequently
reincorporated in Nevada by merger into China Advanced.
Vitalcare was in the business of administering medical clinics specializing in
diabetes treatment. It was the successor to Network Financial Services, Inc.
("Network"), which went public in an underwritten offering in 1987. Network was
engaged in mortgage origination, and changed its name to Westmark Group Holdings
("Westmark") in 1993 in connection with the acquisition of Westmark Mortgage
from Primark Corporation. Westmark ceased operations at some time in 2006, and
in 2006 ceased filing reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
corporate entity was thereafter known as Viking Consolidated, Inc. (2006),
Tailor Aquaponics World Wide, Inc. (2007) and Diversified Acquisitions (2007)
until it entered the medical clinic business in early 2008. The Company has no
information regarding any business activities from 2006 after the mortgage
origination business closed, to early 2008.
On October 25, 2011, Goliath Film and Media International, a Nevada corporation,
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Exchange Agreement"),
pursuant to which Goliath Film and Media International was acquired by China
Advanced Technology. Prior to the acquisition, our principal operations
consisted of internet marketing, and were conducted through a wholly owned
subsidiary, Live Wise, Inc. Live Wise was disposed of on October 31, 2011 for
cancellation of debt and shares described below. At the Closing Date, there were
no assets or liabilities on China Advanced Technology's balance sheets.
The transaction closed on October 31, 2011 (the "Closing Date"). On the Closing
Date China Advanced Technology acquired Goliath Film and Media International by
issuing 47,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, constituting 70.1% of the
outstanding shares after giving effect to their issuance and the cancellation of
15,619,816 shares held by China Advanced Technology's prior control person.
Immediately following the Closing, 67,100,000 shares were issued and
outstanding. On the Closing Date, the name of China Advanced Technology was
changed to Goliath Film and Media Holdings. All share numbers herein have been
adjusted for an eight-for-1 forward stock split affected as of the Closing Date.
The forward stock split was reflected in the trading market on February 13,
2012.

Overview.
Goliath Film and Media Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Goliath
Film and Media International and Goliath Movie Partners 1, LLC (collectively,
"Goliath" or the "Company"), develops, produces and licenses for distribution,
domestically and internationally, quality digital content with an emphasis on
"niche" markets of the feature motion picture and television content segments of
the entertainment industry, such as, without limitation, education, faith-based,
horror and socially responsible minority content. Goliath does not intend to
engage in domestic theatrical distribution of motion pictures to any significant
extent.
In qualified cases, Goliath will develop screenplays that will be outsourced to
an independent entity for production, but will be licensed for distribution
through the Company. Also, in certain cases Goliath will produce content that is
tied to working with an established distributor that provides an advance or
minimum guarantee for the production of a project that will be licensed by the
participating distributor. Goliath plans to produce content and to distribute
domestically and internationally, through a wide distribution network which
includes major international theatrical exhibitors, and other distributors and
television networks. We plan to utilize corporate sponsorships as a means of
reducing the costs of advertising and marketing in distribution. Further, we may
augment our marketing efforts with a limited and strategically focused
advertising campaign in traditional "print" media with press releases targeted
specifically toward standard entertainment industry trade journals and
publications on an "as needed" basis as well as the inclusion of targeted
"social media" campaigns.
Goliath's revenue model includes receiving revenue from distribution fees. A
limited number of its content properties include projects developed and produced
by Goliath and those produced by an independent third party production
companies.

Questions and Answers
What is your business?
We develop, produce and distribute motion pictures and digital content. At this
time, we do not intend to engage in theatrical releases of motion pictures, due
to the high up- front costs of advertising and marketing theatrically. However,
in some specific cases the company will consider theatrical releases based upon
a "four wall", limited release delivery that will be focused on targeted niche
audiences.
What is the timeline for your activities during the next 12 months?
Over the next 90 days to one year, our efforts will be concentrated on
developing and producing content with distributors for licensing by them of at
least three projects.
What is this going to cost you?
We expect that producing the aforementioned content will cost approximately
$150,000 per project, however licensing and distribution will be handled by an
experienced distributor for a fee of anywhere from 30 - 35% and the costs of
advertising and marketing will be handled by them and charged against gross
distribution licensing proceeds.
Why are these motion pictures not being distributed already?
The motion pictures that are being produced by the Company and distributed by
Mar Vista take anywhere from six to nine months from completion of production
and delivery to obtain licensing agreements.
Generally, the main reason why good, quality motion pictures are not distributed
is that the production of a motion picture requires money and creativity, and
marketing a motion picture requires an entirely different set of skills. Many
people dream of making a movie; few aspire to distribute them. We estimate that
there are in excess of 10,000 such motion pictures "gathering dust." There also
have been and continue to be substantial tax incentives for motion picture
production in many States and international Territories, so that many producers
do not need to depend on successful marketing in order to find investors for
their projects. A secondary factor is the difficulty of finding a reputable
distributor. We think that our management has an excellent reputation in the
industry and we will be able to obtain distribution rights for content. Finally,
many distributors as well as buyers do not have an interest in niche market
films, because they see the market as limited. Goliath sees the problem to be,
rather, there is no market merely because no one has assembled a critical mass
of films for these niches. Most participants in the motion picture industry are
based in "Hollywood" and the major coastal metropolitan areas. As an example,
our "faith-based" films especially are targeted toward the "Bible Belt" and the
"Flyover Country": places that the industry has consistently overlooked.
Why are you able to identify and acquire these motion pictures and educational
videos?
After attending all the major content acquisition markets around the world over
the last three years, our Staff has developed relationships with numerous
quality filmmakers who need assistance in marketing and distributing their
product. Goliath has also developed vital relationships with many of the major
content buyers, distributors, networks and sales agents. Many of the filmmakers
have requested the Company's assistance in marketing and distributing their
product. Goliath will continue to pursue the marketing and distribution of
product that is demanded in the marketplace and desired by major aggregators,
distributors, networks and studios.
So how are you different than Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu, to name a few? How can
you compete with them? They have a lot of money and name recognition. Why
wouldn't they jump into your niches?
As a content provider we are not competing with these entities but rather are
working on providing them with quality content. As an example, NETFLIX using its
"streaming platform" has such a high demand for programming content, they are
spending in excess of $8 billion this year for the acquisition of completed
programming as well as for the development of original content by them.
Therefore, as is mentioned, part of their resources are directed toward
acquiring content and part is targeting "in-house" and joint venture productions
of quality content. This content will be targeted to their subscription base on
a domestic and international level.
16
There are a number of quality content producers that work with the major
networks and content distributors, Goliath is moving toward becoming one of
these content providers. We believe there exists significant opportunities for
our company in that the demand for programming is increasing almost
exponentially. Irrespective of the platform for viewing by the
consumer/subscriber, the demand for quality content is continuing to expand. The
upward trend is ongoing, which is where we see an opportunity for Goliath to
provide product to reach many components of the overall market.
Don't cable and satellite networks already offer specialty channels like TBN
(for faith based) and BET (Black Entertainment Television (for the
African-American Community)?
As mentioned above about NETFLIX, even though these channels maybe in niche
markets they must expand the type, genre and format of the content that they are
showing in order to remain viable, therefore the opportunity to assist them by
providing quality programming is ongoing and expanding.
What other niches are you looking at entering?
We believe that there is an increasing and ongoing trend in home entertainment
in servicing niches. Many viewers have cable or satellite service with hundreds
of channels, but view only a few channels that cater to their particular
interests. The significant type of niche we are targeting are the numerous
immigrant groups in the United States. Other than Spanish speaking immigrants,
coverage is scarce.
There are many interest groups that might be interested in specialty movies or
programming. As an example, in Hawaii and Southern California, for instance,
surfing is quite popular, and there exists a huge body of surfing films which
would be of interest.
What about ancillary markets?
We plan to incorporate advertising and marketing through social media and
traditional outlets to the highest degree possible.
How do these distribution rights work?
We enter into a Distribution Agreement for each motion picture. Terms may be
perpetual or limited by years. The motion pictures that we are acquiring will
have a term of five years. We will generally obtain a fee of 20% to 30% of gross
revenues. Licensing will be flexible for usage applications on a yearly or
multi-year basis. Most markets, especially foreign territories have a tendency
to continuously renew content licensing.
How many employees do you have? Do you have an office?
We have no employees. Our administrative office is in Carson City, Nevada.
Do you have a website?
Our website is www.goliathfilmandmediainternational.com. We have a mirror site
at www.goliathfilmandmedia.com

ended October 31, 2022, respectively, and historical losses totaling $1,174233

Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's management plan
to continue as a going concern revolves around its ability to execute its
business strategy of digital content, as well as raising the necessary capital
to pay ongoing general and administrative expenses of the Company.
