INTELLIGENT INVESTING WITH BANJO,well sort of! (Ed-hmmmm-lol)

Galleon Holdings plc has three key divisions:Galleon Entertainment for entertainment type IP,Croco Worldwide for product IP,Phoenix for interactive TV services for broadcasters in China/South East Asia which includes Robot Information Technology (Lushy Assets ('Yunbo')) who are a wireless interactive platform service provider in China who will work alongside Phoenix to enable GON to hold on to a greater part of the generated revenue and so increase the profit margin......think that's the plan! :-)

This makes Galleon Holdings a 'One Stop Shop' to develop and complete new and existing IP's.

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

Obviously the Global Market situation effected this one today! :-)

Me humble posts from another site:

I'm trying to look at this company in a new light as a new investor would,yes very hard to do sometimes!

The management want to concentrate on the two IP's currently out in the big wide world which seams fair enough to me.
The Hoo Ha House have six smaller books out on 6th March which are based on stories around one character(for each new book) taken from the original book,which was given a lot of exposure through out schools last year.

Mysti,now in it's second series currently showing by the BBC has the best chance of early revenue for the Galleon.

Merchandising in the shape of products through Croco will be a big revenue generator this year.
***************
From the Final Results:
The focused strategy - of moving away from the low margin and highly
competitive general sourcing market segment and focusing on the higher margin
but more complex in-pack premium segment - is paying dividends.

Croco Worldwide is building a reputation for being highly creative and also
highly competent in delivering product into market, on time and on budget. The
company has developed a strong relationship with one of the main global FMCG
companies, resulting in a significant order exceeding $1M already in place for
delivery in Summer 2006.

Looking forward, we will be adding sales capabilities to this side of the
business to open up new clients.
**********

From the Final Results,I'm not sure why they say that Mysti and Skunk Fu will be the main money earners for 2006??........
Can understand Mysti and HHH but SF although pre-sold is not due for airing until next year,I would have thought having the toon on air was most important for merchandising revenue!!!

Anyway,further to me questioning revenue from Skunk Fu this year,in Final Results (missed this bit):

The
publishing programme is now being developed and this will seed the property in
the UK prior to the first airing of the TV series. This will help to build the
property whilst also delivering royalties to Galleon. Multiple territory
revenues coupled with the diverse category application of this brand will
provide Galleon with long-term sustainable income for the future.

While I'm in full waffle mode!

Croco,the name a lot of investors want to hear less of and want to see more on actual programes on TV with 'done deals'.

For one,Croco have kept the Galleon afloat (was going to say 'forgive the pun'how silly would that have been!)through out 2005...Fact.

Two,Croco have raised their game during the latter half of 2005 to make products that bring in an improved profit margin...Fact.

Three,Croco have been pushed to the front in the last part of 2005 by the galleon,which can be seen from their web page....Fact.

Four,The Galleon will gain much much greater revenue this year from Croco's position,in that Croco will be producing merchandising products for IP's wholey(maybe 'fully' looks better!)or partly owned by Galleon Holdings.
This has to be very good news for 2006 and for the future...To be seen.

Once we achieve step Four then the balance sheet will look very good,more investors will contribute which then leads to further developments by bringing in other IP's.This would include the completion and airing of the likes of Astro Knights and Pepers Patrol.

Interesting article posted on another site,old but good all the same...bit of background!

whoops,didnt mean to post that.....
