26th June 2008 Galleon – And Its 'Edgy' Strategy by Tom Bulford

Evening jkd,
I'm a bit busy tonight sorting someones computer out,bloody things!

Will reply later though when I've got it fixed.

jkd,

"i always thought this was about kids stuff. not any more."

From 09 October 2006:

"Galleon's CEO Stephen Green said 'This is a landmark deal for Galleon, and has
the potential to transform the company's entertainment business in a quantum
way. Sony BMG's expertise in music talent, rights management and its global
infrastructure for exploitation makes them the perfect partner for us. This
strategic alliance represents a huge endorsement of the project which will add
momentum to discussions with broadcasters, sponsors and other strategic and
commercial partners."

http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200610090700281344K.html

From 25 January 2007:

For many years the entertainment industry has been watching media convergence
and considering its impact on entertainment consumption habits. In 2006 online
media came of age as an entertainment channel and TV broadcasters are reacting
to this new trend. For the first time, TV broadcasters are insisting on
properties being created with multi-channel consumption built into the content
as opposed to being an afterthought. The industry is referring to this as a '360
degree' or 'multi-platform' approach to entertainment. As a company in the
entertainment IP business this has led to us spending more time on development,
considering multiple channels of access for consumers, such as TV, online,
mobile, live events and retail when creating IP. For some demographics, such as
the 16-24 year old market, online has overtaken TV as the main channel of
entertainment consumption. This means that the traditional TV-led route to
market is being challenged as other opportunities and partnerships arise.

As such, during 2006, we have focused on developing in-house entertainment IP
that allows the consumer to interact with the IP through all key channels. This
means that we have looked at not only creating entertainment that can be
consumed through multiple channels but we are also considering the assets that
may be needed to facilitate this consumption.

Apollo's Pad

Apollo's Pad is the first example of a successful application of our skills to
this new way of thinking. The consumer most affected by convergence is the 16-24
year old. They have a voracious appetite for music, comedy and other
entertainment that can be snacked across multiple platforms. Apollo's Pad is
effectively a business that takes your all-time favourite music and, by applying
the latest in animation and comedy, delivers these great tracks to today's
multimedia consumer as branded entertainment across all channels and platforms:
online, TV, radio, mobile and retail. It was critical that in development we not
only created the content but also the web portal that will allow consumers to
access this content on a global basis. As a business it allows traditional TV
partners to participate in the brand on a regional basis, but is not dependent
on them as means of accessing the consumer. This means that we can launch
Apollo's Pad directly to the global online music market, benefiting from
direct-to-consumer revenue streams from day one of launch. This direct dialogue
also allows our consumers to directly participate in the creating and shaping of
the content that they consume. This integrated two-way dialogue allows us to
constantly be in touch with our audience and effectively create 'Organic
Content' that evolves according to their needs.

This new business model has already resulted in a global deal with Sony BMG who
will be our music partner providing access to music rights and catalogue as well
as the best artists and producers. Sony BMG will also be our partner in the
sales and marketing of the music videos we create on a global basis.
Conversations with TV, mobile and online partners are continuing on a territory
basis. The first content will be launched in quarter four 2007.

"guess i dont read your posts and always follow all the links."

Not sure what you mean there but from the above and as far back as January 2007 (probably even earlier) they clearly state AP is for the 16-24
year old market!

"i have to tell you that im not impressed by it.( sorry)
maybe im just too old but it seems the content could be very controversial
and certainly not for kids. or maybe the world has changed."

As said before AP is targeted for the 16-24 year old market! Elvis,Beatles,Hendrix,Sex Pistols,South Park,Viz,MTV,Adult Swim................list is endless for being controversial at the time!

bjm
thanks
16-24 year olds certainly cuts out the kids stuff that i was under the mishapprehension about,so thanks for clearing that one up.
would this last link then be aimed at that same age profile? ie.16/24'S
it would seem so.
not a company i want to invest in.
nuff said.
the market is always right.
i am often wrong.
kindest regards.
and best of luck to you.
jkd

bjm
our posts seem to have ' crossed in time'
good luck to you
regards
jkd

jkd,
What you might not have seen is the wide spectrum that GON covers in all aspects of their business.
Apollo's Pad is looking a very exciting IP at the moment that has great potential in the area it is aimed for.AP can also be seen as an initial testing ground to master this 360' application where it can then be transposed to completely different IP's from both GON's own stable and third parties across the globe but more importantly in China/SEA!

"our posts seem to have ' crossed in time'" and again-lol

jkd,
Read the last interims and if your still not happy then don't invest,as simple as that! After reading the interims if you have any questions then please feel free to pop by and I'll see if I can answer any questions you may have.

From the last interims:

Chairman's Statement

I am delighted to see the Group generate a profit for the first six months of the year with revenues coming from both the entertainment and the product division. In accordance with the requirements of the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange the Group is required to prepare this interim financial information under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

We have been consistent with our strategy for the entertainment division, focusing on multiplatform entertainment and interactive revenue streams in emerging markets such as China and South East Asia. We acquired Yunbo, a mobile service provider in China, in February 2008, for an initial consideration of US$3 million. This has bolstered our ability to provide Chinese broadcasters a complete media solution for multiplatform entertainment, giving us total control over the interactive content, its delivery to the consumer, data capture and the billing process. We have continued to grow our footprint in the region supplying interactive entertainment solutions to several broadcasters in China and Malaysia. Interactive entertainment revenues for this period was 1.1m compared to nil for the same period last year.

Current Trading & Outlook

The first six months of this financial year have been very solid as the Group moves into a profitable phase of growth. This is a huge achievement by the management which has generated a profit in a period when they acquired and then integrated Phoenix and Yunbo in China and South East Asia. We are fortunate to have excellent dedicated employees and managers locally in each of the markets where we operate which allows us to act efficiently, responsively and timely to our partners in this period of quantum growth.

It is evident that we are steadily executing our business model in the emerging markets, particularly in China. Each of our divisions has continued to gain momentum and this will continue into the second half of the year. We are excited by the opportunities that we see ahead of us.

David Wong

Well,there's one ADVFN poster dragged in,so a reward in the form of MoneyAM getting an indepth interview with Stephen Green in their mag. would be just reward,imo! :-)

bjm
i have every respect for you
may all your wishes and dreams come to fruition.
i shall post no more
kindest regards
jkd

ok and no problem but as said before I will if I can answer any questions you may have.

model we have sought access to a library of entertainment content and production
expertise that we can exploit within China and SEA. To this end we are delighted
to announce that Galleon has entered into an agreement to work with RDF Media to
co-produce a select number of shows with leading broadcasters in China
leveraging the best of RDF creative content and Galleon's business model and

Some (loads more) major points:

02/04/08-

"Following the acquisition of the wireless service provider Yunbo, in China,Galleon has established its position as a specialist in creating, distributing and monetising cross platform interactive entertainment content throughout South East Asia and China. Part of our strategy is to grow our pipeline into the region through the interactive services that we provide to the broadcasters.

Currently we provide interactive services to 5 broadcasters and we aim for this
to be at least 10 broadcasters by the end of the year.

Strategically we will leverage this network and business model by co-producing
with South East Asian and Chinese broadcasters on mass market interactive
entertainment brands."

and

"We have agreed to launch a second Galleon entertainment property with another
leading Chinese broadcaster in 2008. We will announce more details on this once
the broadcast schedule is confirmed."

23/06/08-

Super Soccer Star is the first of Galleon's multi-platform family entertainment shows to be launched by its Chinese operation Phoenix, a provider of interactive entertainment services to broadcasters in China and South East Asia, which was acquired by Galleon in October 2007. Phoenix has used the Super Soccer Star format to further develop its multi-platform entertainment model with a suite of new product offerings and mechanisms for both mobile and online activity.

The early success of the show in Guangdong has also instigated discussions for further series of Super Soccer Star in China with satellite broadcasters as well as a new series from Galleon's Super Sports Star franchise, focusing on a new sport. Phoenix is also in discussions with potential partners in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, India and Middle East and is in final negotiations of a co-production agreement for Super Soccer Star in Malaysia with a leading terrestrial broadcaster.

"Commenting on the syndication, CEO of Galleon Holdings, Stephen Green said:

'The popularity of the first series of Super Soccer Star has exceeded our expectations as well as those of our partners. The syndication of the show is a key part of our strategy and demonstrates the quality of the programming and the steady execution of our business model. We expect this to be the first of a number of agreements as we roll-out the Super Soccer Star format to major broadcasters across China and South East Asia. This is further evidence that Galleon is well placed to exploit the opportunity that exists in the rapidly developing broadcast markets in China and South East Asia."

27/06/08-

Interims-Maiden Profit before tax of 355,000 compared to loss of 357,000 for same period last year.

"Commenting on the first half results, David Wong, Chairman, Galleon Holdings plc, said:

'The first six months of this financial year have been very solid as the Group moves into a profitable phase of growth. This is a huge achievement by the management which has generated a profit in a period when they acquired and then integrated Phoenix and Yunbo in China and South East Asia.

Notes to Editors:

Galleon Holdings plc creates and distributes multi-platform branded entertainment properties focused on the emerging markets, in particular China and South East Asia. The entertainment properties are designed to establish a direct, interactive relationship with the viewer.

Television in China reaches approximately 98% of the population of 1.3 billion. Mobile phone penetration is also high, with over 450 million subscribers and with over 300 million people online, China is now the largest online market in the world. Huge TV audiences and growing interactive platform access presents a substantial opportunity for Galleon to benefit from the popularity and demand for interactive entertainment and game shows. China is forecast to become the world's fifth largest advertising market.

In October 2007 Galleon acquired Phoenix, a Hong Kong based media solutions company, which specialises in the provision of interactive broadcast television services that enable broadcasters in China and South East Asia to provide interactive entertainment for audiences to access through TV, online and mobile.

In February 2008 Galleon acquired Yunbo, a mobile service provider in China, strengthening the Company's ability to provide Chinese broadcasters with a complete media solution for multiplatform entertainment. Galleon now has total control over the interactive content, its delivery to the consumer, data capture and the billing process.

Galleon develops entertainment formats for children, families and young adults. These include:

Super Soccer Star - an interactive family orientated football talent show. Produced in association with Chelsea Football Club. The first series, currently broadcasting in Gungdong province, China, has achieved top five show status.

The Limit - prime-time family variety game show. To be launched in Hunan province, China later this year.

Skunk Fu! - a comedy action animated TV show for kids aged 6-11.

Apollo's Pad - an interactive online animated sitcom targeting 16-24 year olds.
