Camelot Entertainment Group ("CMGR"), is a publicly traded company based in Irvine, California with two operating divisions: Camelot Distribution Group, including DarKnight Pictures, and Camelot Studio Group. Camelot is in the process of rebuilding its distribution division as it continues to work on its Studio Group developments. As of April 15, 2015, Camelot is working toward filing a new S-1 Registration Statement in order to regain its fully reporting status and resume trading. The company has not traded since July 23, 2013, when it was unable to complete its annual and quarterly filing requirements due to lack of funding. In the interim, the company has divested itself of most of the titles it was representing for distribution as part of an overall restructuring. In addition to divesting the film library acquired in 2010, the company has now worked through all of the prior legal issues that arose from the acquisition of the library and is now in a position to move forward with its S-1 Registration. Going forward, Camelot will focus on direct to consumer ("DTC") digital distribution domestically as it rebuilds its foreign sales operations.

The total non-restricted shares held, including those non-restricted shares held by affiliates that are not currently available for resale, were 2,126,294,556 (including those held in CEDE). There were 3,623,705,444 restricted shares, of which 2,402,219,378 restricted shares were held by affiliates and 1,221,486,066 restricted shares were held by non-affiliates of the Company.

The Company had been working toward completing the filing of its annual reports on Form 10-K and the subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Company was unable to resolve certain items that would have a direct impact on the information required to be disclosed and the Company’s ability to file the report. The Company was initially delayed in filing these reports due to a number of unforeseen factors that impacted its ability to collect and prepare the required information and audit confirmations from third parties, delays connected with the acquisition, maintenance and divesture of the Liberation Film Library, the availability of certain professionals crucial to the timely completion of the annual and quarterly filings, the availability of funds, the acquisition and location of certain files and documents, operational issues, and the resolution of certain contemplated and filed legal actions by both the Company and by third parties, most of which were related directly and/or indirectly to the Liberation Film Library transaction. These and other factors has created a heavy reporting burden on the Company, requiring management to spend excessive time and effort preparing and reviewing old information instead of focusing on business operations and requiring the Company to spend more money on outside counsel and auditors to help prepare the reports.
The Company announced on July 23, 2013 that its stock had been temporarily halted from trading for a period of 10 days starting July 23, 2013 and ending on August 5, 2013. Camelot’s stock was initially scheduled to resume trading on Tuesday, August 6, 2013. The trading halt was in connection with a public administrative hearing instituted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (”SEC”) because Camelot, a Delaware corporation located in Irvine, California with a class of securities registered with the Commission pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(g), was delinquent in its periodic filings with the SEC, having not filed any periodic reports since it filed a Form 10 for the period ended September 30, 2010, which reported a net loss of $8,026,537 for the prior nine months. As of July 18, 2013, the common stock of Camelot was quoted on OTC Link, had ten market makers, and was eligible for the “piggyback” exception of Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11(f)(3).
On August 8th, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission revoked registration of the shares of Camelot Entertainment Group "pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934."[1] As a result, Camelot Entertainment Group currently does not trade publicly as of August 8th, 2013. In agreeing to the revocation of the registration, Camelot will be allowed to file a new registration statement and upon effectiveness Camelot will resume trading.
As of April 15, 2015, Camelot is in the process of preparing a new registration statement and expects to resume trading during fiscal year 2015.
