"some claim R/S they just had one and the projected float should be about 500million (SS below to justify the FLOAT), why would they need a R/S "YOU DECIDE"



Investing in Artfest International, Inc. (OTC:ARTS) seemed absurd not too long ago, but the companies (10k) may disperse the dark cloud from above them.

The company claims to have signed a distribution agreement with Time Warner (They acquired Pat Summerall Productions and Master Video Library, things are starting to make since). According to the press release they will even get their own channel and could sell ad space during air time.[BANNER]

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Artfest-International-Inc-Time-Warner-Will-Broadcast-IWFLs-Major-Football-Rivalry-Between-1262059.htm

The company will have a chance to confirm this information in their upcoming 10-k, the filing of which is currently delayed (chance for some to get in). The same goes for most of their seemingly important announcements made in 2010, that haven’t been confirmed with official filings yet.

ARTS holds high expectations for its Q4 financials, expecting a few thousand percent top line growth since the last year . They even claim to have turned to profitability. The audited data is yet to be published though.

In their last reported quarter, the company had depicted a significant top line growth as well, but it was offset by increased business administration costs and called for additional capital to sustain a positive cash flow.

What leads me to believe that they are on track with this:
- Why would anyone loan them $15million
- Why acquire Pat Summerall Production

(http://www.usdc.org/resources/downloads/3D_Report_2007.pdf). The 3D industry is also transcending into other artistic areas such as movies and music.

The GRAMMY Awards are telecast annually to an international audience of over 2 billion in 180 countries. This special segment represents a GRAMMY technical breakthrough in that it will be the first time a major awards show will have portions of its program broadcast in 3-D. In order for viewers to enjoy this unique 3-D TV experience at home, CBS and Target have collaborated to provide millions of free 3-D GRAMMY Glasses. Through Sunday, Jan. 31, Target stores nationwide will exclusively offer these 3-D GRAMMY Glasses so that fans have the opportunity to see the film.

Artfest International, Inc. Announces Recapitalization Plan for 2011
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - November 17, 2010) - Artfest International, Inc. (OTCBB: ARTS) is pleased to announce that the Company's management has approved its 2011 recapitalization plan in order to position itself for growth over the next twelve months. The plan allows the Company to capitalize on the equity in its various subsidiary corporations including Starfest, Charity Sports Distributor and (AIFC) Women's Professional Football League (UWFL), amongst others.

As a result of the diversification of the Company's assets and complexity for its business model, Artfest has chosen to utilize the assets of its subsidiaries to raise additional capital. In addition, this move will significantly reduce liability and dilution to the parent corporation and its subsidiaries.

"We believe our recapitalization plan represents a balanced approach to refining the Company's capital structure on behalf of our stockholders, while repositioning Artfest International for sustainable growth in earnings over the long-term," stated Edward Vakser, CEO of Artfest International, Inc.
As part of its recapitalization plan, Artfest International has already made arrangements for all of its shareholders of record, a publicly traded dividend in Starfest Direct. The Company will be announcing further details in the next two weeks.

- Artfest International Inc. Acquires Pat Summerall Productions and Master Video Library (produced $10.5Million in 2002 which is an indication that it should add additional value and revenue for Artfest, the company went Bankrupt which indicates that Artfest may have got a steel on this Acqusition)
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - October 6, 2010) -


Artfest International, Inc. (OTCBB: ARTS), a new technology, fine art and memorabilia company, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Master Library of Pat Summerall Productions, a Dallas based Media, Content development and Production Company.

Artfest's business plan calls for expansion and acquisitions of intellectual properties (IP) and collectable components. The Television and Sports Broadcast industry considers Pat Summerall a legendary and historical figure. Memorabilia and collectable content with historical significance grows in value and in historical importance. Artfest distribution model, CSD Sports and Art Channel Inc., will repurpose and release the newly acquired assets and IP.

"I'm extremely excited to add yet another asset to Artfest International's already healthy and ever expanding portfolio. This strategic acquisition is one of several acquisitions currently under contract and negotiations, and is part of our plan in expanding our presence on Television and other Media Markets. The Intellectual properties and content that we acquired will help us establish the Starfest Technologies Brand for the tracking of sport memorabilia and collectibles via RFID Starfest Chips. The production will enhance our presence and participation in producing sporting events and expand our retail presence at stadiums and arenas," stated Edward Vakser, Artfest International CEO.

"This acquisition adds a new dimension to our content development and branding. While we feel that we will recover and continue to produce PSP two to four million per year in revenues, our main goal is to bring this company to a greater revenue potential. With the name and branding being very well known in the broadcast and sports community, we will direct our production focus on American Football and expansion with the newly developed Women's league. This alone should drive revenues and profits that will enhance Artfest's bottom line," stated Bill Strother, Art Channel's VP of Productions.

"The potential for this acquisition is huge. We already began producing Women's Football League and developing their sports branding and memorabilia. We will have Television as an additional driver for our members to purchase and re-sell our products and drive revenues for the Starfest Direct," explained Angie Tassan, Artfest CMO.
Recently, Artfest international announced an acquisition of a new Television/Recording studio, and REF financing from AGS Capital Group. The added funding will enable Artfest to complete a series of pre negotiated acquisitions, licensing and Celebrity/Artist endorsements and contracts.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Some shareholders have pulled away and MMs have let this slide to .0001 to pick up the shares at these low levels, when the company is finally starting to get everything together and is getting ready to achieve profitability, no one likes R/S, however companies go public to raise money so that they can implement their business plan.

Many that have been around know it’s better to have an R/S than to have the company go bankrupt or become a no bid.
As always do your own DD,

I am not suggesting you buy or sell just citied facts for shareholders, so that they can make a better decision based on facts.
