Good to see Fatkat getting a bit of publicity for Skunk Fu in Canada:
"Fatkat is still known for its flash animation on programs such as Chaotic for Teletoon, based on characters in a popular trading card game. The company has several new shows in production for various companies, including Super Normal about a typical teen turned superhero and Skunk-Fu combining a skunk, kung-fu and trouble."

This sheds a blit of light on the delivery dates and would indicate that ABC maybe struck a deal to start showing episodes as and when completed or ABC is being used to gauge interest before hitting Europe and rest of world......(Skunk Fu is being aired in Australia as of last week)
"Skunk Fu!"
52x10' childrens animation series. Delivery of first 26 June 2007, full 52 September 2007. Broadcsters include TG4, BBC, Super RTL, Canal J.

Apollo's Pad project is a 360' IP (buzz word,meaning crossing all areas of media ie tv,internet,mobile phones and more).
Interesting to note that Sokator 442 (also a 360' platform) which is produced by 'Zoo Films' appears already destined for Apollo's Pad in that Copernicus Studios look as though they are recruiting to enable a smooth transition to Apollo's Pad.
Copernicus Studios are the overall animation producers for Apollo's Pad and the picture looks a lot like the one from the Galleons taster.Posted links for any comment as I can only go from information at hand!

Galleon Re Contract
RNS Number:3982Y
Galleon Holdings PLC
15 June 2007
Galleon Holdings plc
("Galleon" or the "Company")
Re. Contract
Galleon announces that its Product IP Division has received a further re-order
for its "Blasterz" product, as the global roll out of this toy continues.
PepsiCo has placed its second re-order for a European territory valued at
#121,600 (EUR 180,000).
Since Galleon launched this unique, patented toy premium in 2006, it has
generated sales in excess of #3 million (EUR 4.5 million), from an exclusively
blue-chip customer base. Both new and existing customers are continuing to
evaluate "Blasterz" as a long-term promotional premium in their international
territories whilst, at the same time, existing customers are placing repeat
orders for the territories in which "Blasterz" are already in use.
Chief Executive, Stephen Green, commented,
"This second repeat order supports our belief that "Blasterz" has longevity far
beyond one promotion. In fact, it works so well as a premium that we expect to
be generating revenues from this IP for many years to come."

Galleon Holdings PLC
19 June 2007
Galleon Holdings plc
('Galleon' or the 'Company')
First Order for New Product
Galleon is delighted to announce that its Product IP Division has today received
an initial order for a new product from global consumables manufacturer PepsiCo,
to be supplied in 4 territories. The first commission covers the materials and
associated manufacturing costs for an order which has an anticipated overall
value of 2,150,000 (1,454,000).
PepsiCo, who intend to use the product to drive promotions on a worldwide basis,
has successfully tested the new product, which cannot be named for competitive
reasons, in multiple markets.
The creation of this new product comes as the Company continues to roll out its
'Blasterz' IP, which first entered the market in January 2007 and has already
generated sales of 4.5 million (3.0 million) to date, demonstrating the
perennial value of this kind of toy premium based IP.
Chief Executive, Stephen Green, commented,
'Evidence suggests that our new product demonstrates the same potential quality
of earnings as 'Blasterz' and could provide a substantial revenue increase for
the division in the coming years. Not only is it good news to be launching a new
product at this time, but it is also a great endorsement of our abilities in
this market that PepsiCo should require a second promotional IP from us.'

Galleon Holdings plc
Interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2007

. Turnover has tripled to 2,360k for the 6 months to March compared with
the same period last year (March 31 2006: 743k)

Entertainment Division gears up for launch of Apollo's Pad and
Skunk fu! in Q3/Q4 2007
Product Division builds strong relationship with PepsiCo and
Kraft
Group gears up for growth
David Wong, Chairman, Galleon Holdings plc commented:
I am delighted to see the strong foundations for growth that the management
team has built in the past 12 months. Our strategy of growing our product
division organically whilst building a portfolio of entertainment
based IP has resulted in strong revenue growth in the period and, despite
investing in new entertainment content, a reduction of the Group's operating
loss in the same period.
Galleon Entertainment now has a balanced portfolio of entertainment properties:
'Mysti' series 2 has just concluded its run on CBBC and we have some strong
interest to develop the brand as a Feature Film.
'Skunk fu!'is now on air in Australia on ABC and is due to be aired in 30
territories in 2007 and 2008 including the UK(BBC), Germany(Super RTL) and
France(France 5). Galleon controls licensing and merchandising rights in this
animated children's property for the world excluding Germany and owns a
share of the IP.
'Apollo's Pad', the 16-24 year old-targeted music meets comedy property, is
going live in the final quarter of 2007.
'Sokator-442', the kid-targeted soccer meets sci-fi multi-platform property,
has received presale offers from two territories and is poised to go into
production later in 2007.
Croco Worldwide is seeing real organic growth:
Croco's Blasterz product rolls out across Frito-Lay's European territories.
The division's order book is looking strong through to the end of this
financial year and into 2008.
Key members of staff have been recruited to ensure continued growth in
sales and operations capacity.
Galleon is now poised to take advantage of changes in the entertainment
landscape, with the shift towards multi-platform properties with the
emergence of online and mobile as entertainment channels, with 'Apollo's
Pad', the property that we have developed with Sony BMG, going into
market later this year. This has opened up some interesting opportunities for us
in developing markets like China with its already substantial mobile phone
market. With this in mind the company will seek acquisition opportunities in
the next 12 months to build our competency in multi-platform entertainment
based IP and to provide access to these developing markets.
