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! :-)

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

Cartoon Saloon blog has been added to,nice pictures:

http://skunkfu.blogspot.com/

The Childrens animated comedy Adventure series also has a theme tune written and performed by the notorious Ghost Face of the Wu Tang Clan to gel with the hip hop Kung Fu flavour of the series!

This was added to since post 573:


We are really pleased that the BBC decided to strip the show every weekday at this time as it will be the perfect platform for the show to reach its intended audience of 6-9 year olds says one of Skunk Fus Exec producers Paul Young.

Skunk Fu! is a co-production between Cartoon Saloon, Dutch producer HLT production and Irish post production house Telegael. UK distributor Cake Entertainment is handling all the world wide sales of the series and Galleon PLC manages the Licensing and Merchandising.

And the chart would indicate another rise is due..........maybe! :-)

A nice little up-day!

Evening all (Ed-There is only you,Mick!) ,




"Cartoon Saloon, an animation studio based in Kilkenny, has sold its show Skunk Fu! to the BBC and has also revealed it is going to be translated into Welsh."

Edit-As has been said before the BBC do not own the whole show but it's jointly held with the Galleon having 15%

http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/0200wales/tm_headline=irish-firm--8217-s-skunk-fu-set-to-storm-tv-schedules&method=full&objectid=19356985&siteid=50082-name_page.html

The Lady with the Log has a few things to say:

"My log hears things I cannot hear. But my log tells me about the sounds, about the new words.
Even though it has stopped growing larger, my log is aware."


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPpKx6zWpOo&mode=related&search=

Not a bad day....................

After pondering for a while and thinking why I haven't rang the Galleon up,then again that would be boring!

The Galleon own 15% (with an option to gain more) of Skunk Fu plus they own the world licencing/merchandising rights (excluding Germany)

Skunk Fu was and is being aired in Australia through ABC so everyone in that country can watch the cartoon!

Skunk Fu is being aired on the BBC a week on Monday on a daily basis and on CBBC on Saturdays and all at peek times!

I deduce from that that this is indeed a top notch cartoon,as has been reported on throughout the many events where this type of IP is shown to encourage investment and buying over the years,which by all accounts has achieved.

The Skunk Fu books were due out in March of this year and they never arrived and are still not available!From what I can gather from speaking to Lavish (the book illustrators)their work was completed ages ago!They also told me as far as publishing of the Skunk Fu books is concerned then I would have to contact GON.

The publishers of the Skunk Fu books are quoted as being Imagineire and as reported earlier,their website has been down for over one might be nearer two months now!
Imagineire also are the publishers for the Hoo Ha House range of books and there appears to be no problem in purchasing these books from Amazon for example!

My point being that the Galleon have not commented on this at all!

Is there something bigger going on in the background?

David Wong who was/is the CEO of Imagination holdings which Imagineire are a part of,entered in a 'strategic Alliance' with the Galleon in 2005 (announcement on 18/07/05) where a lot happened regarding buying of shares in GON and transactions relating to Hoo Ha House and Mysti................I'm getting confused now!

As in Imagination Holdings were/are the holding company for Lavish........


I may be wrong but there does appear (to me) to be something happening regarding GON,Imagination Holdings and David Wong..................

With lack of news from both Imagination Holdings and Imagineire ie websites down and GON who would profit from book sales keeping quiet and along with the steady rise we are seeing I see something very positive happening....I think-lol

I wish I never started this post as I am now more confused than when I first pondered-lol!!!!!!

There is something a foot and I don't mean 12"-in my most humble opinion,lets hope it's for the good of the share holders,I think it will be..........maybe!


PS my spell check failed,be kind...................

That will teach me to ponder! But may have to ponder some more now-lol

Galleon Holdings plc (the 'Company' or 'Galleon')

Notice of EGM

29 June 2007




A Notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting ('EGM') was posted yesterday to
Galleon's shareholders, which will convene an EGM to be held at 11 a.m. on 20
July 2007 at the offices of Smith & Williamson Corporate Finance Limited, 25
Moorgate, London, EC2R 6AY.

The special business to be conducted at this meeting comprises the consideration
of:

(1) a proposal to increase the authorised share capital of the Company to
2,750,000;
(2) a proposal to extend the directors' general authority to allot
unissued shares; and
(3) a proposal to disapply shareholders' statutory rights
on an allotment of shares for cash to have such shares first offered to
them in proportion to their existing holdings (known as pre-emption rights).

The proposed resolutions are intended to allow the Company to seek out
acquisition targets, as mentioned in the recent Interim Results Statement, and
to finance the further development of the Company's operations. The Company is
exploring several new opportunities to ensure future growth, and is seeking the
flexibility to pursue them as they arise.


For further information please contact:


Stephen Green, Chief Executive
Galleon Holdings Plc

Tel. 020 8742 3636

From todays announcement:

"(3) a proposal to disapply shareholders' statutory rights
on an allotment of shares for cash to have such shares first offered to
them in proportion to their existing holdings (known as pre-emption rights)."

Does that mean that GON have a person or group lined-up who will buy all the new shares,that's how I see it as they want to cancel 'pre-emption rights'? I'm only a banja player-lol





"Pre-emption Rights

Where a company proposes to issue new shares, existing shareholders may have the right to be offered a pro-rata part of the new shares before they are offered to a new shareholder. The rights are contained either in the Articles of Association or imposed by Section 89 Companies Act 1985. These pre-emption rights may be disapplied either generally or in relation to a particular new issue by a provision in the Articles of Association or a special resolution. In relation to sales of existing shares, similar rights require a shareholder wishing to sell shares to offer them first to existing shareholders before being able to transfer to outsiders. These rights are common for private companies and are found in the Articles of Association. "

I thought H&C would update their June monthly report on GON,must have been on the 19th June.Will be interesting to read their thoughts on the EGM announcement which could be out this week (July edition)!

GALLEON
Interim results just announced show Galleon is making good progress.Turnover has increased from just 743k to 2.4m, and operating losses have been nearly halved.
It's not the numbers that are important though, but the progress the company has made with its business.Croco, the in-pack premiums business, has gone from
strength to strength,contributing the majority ofMeanwhileGalleon Entertainment has made progress in developing its IP portfolio; animation
Skunk Fu! is now being aired in Australia, and the second half of the year will see music and animation product Apollo's Pad go live, and
Sokator-442 going intoproduction.
We have also seen today the announcement of a major new contract from PepsiCo
for a new in-pack premium product from Croco. This gives Croco a third product
next to the highly successful Blasterz (which has generated over 3m sales)
and recently launched EPIX.
We maintain our estimates for this year and next. The market seemed to like the
results, with the shares rising 11% in early trading.

http://www.hardmanandco.com/Research/monthly/June07_monthly.pdf

Morning all,

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/games/games/skunkfu/

Haven't managed to catch the Skunk Fu shows on BBC1 yet (15:50) will have to wait until Saturday where they are being shown on CBBC at 17:00.

Trust GON to put out an EGM at this time!!!!!!!

If the EGM turns out positive then the SP should fly as I think the EGM has cast a shadow over errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......................everything-lol.

If the EGM results in bad news then obviously down we go!

Looking much better now :-)

Galleon Holdings PLC

Galleon Holdings plc (the 'Company' or 'Galleon')

Placing of Shares, Announcement of Discussions with Chinese Broadcasters & Total
Voting Rights

12 July 2007

Galleon today announces that it has raised funds for the Company of 2,000,000
(before expenses) via a placing ('the Placing') of 15,384,617 new Ordinary
Shares of 1p each (the 'Placing Shares') at a price of 13p per share. The
Placing Shares have been placed with institutional and other investors.

Part of the proceeds of the Placing will be used to invest further in Galleon's
Product IP division, Croco, which is enjoying a significant growth in orders and
requires additional funding in order to meet the anticipated new levels of
demand. In addition, the proceeds of the Placing will be used to fund the
further development of the Company's Entertainment Division's properties, in
particular Apollo's Pad (the music-meets-comedy property targeted at 16-24 year
olds produced in conjunction with Sony BMG).

The Company also announces that it is in discussions with two major Chinese
broadcasters, Hunan ETV and Guangdong TV, whose combined audiences are
understood to total c. 150 million viewers, for two new live entertainment
properties created and owned by Galleon. The Company will provide a further
update on the progress of these discussions when appropriate. Galleon is further
pleased to note that Skunk fu!, one of its animated entertainment properties, is
being aired earlier than expected on the BBC. It commenced broadcast on 9th July
and is currently scheduled to be shown on weekdays at 3.50pm on BBC1 and
Saturdays and Sundays on CBBC at 5.00pm.

The Placing is being made on a non-pre-emptive basis as the time and costs
associated with a pre-emptive offer are considered by the board of Galleon to be
excessive and not in the interests of the Company at this time.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to
be admitted to trading on AIM. The Placing Shares are expected to be admitted to
AIM and to commence trading at 08.00 a.m. on 17 July 2007.

Total Voting Rights

Following the Placing the Company's issued share capital consists of 64,823,959
ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p per share, with voting rights (one
vote per ordinary share). The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in
Treasury.

Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares in the Company with voting rights
is 64,823,959. The figure of 64,823,959 ordinary shares may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, the Company under the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.

Interests of Directors following the Placing

The Directors' interests in the Company following the Placing are as follows:

Director Number of Shares Percentage of Enlarged Share Capital

Stephen Green 550,000 0.85%

Leonard Dunne 550,000 0.85%

Pritesh Desai 60,000 0.09%

David Wong is a director of Imagination Holdings Limited which holds 14,542,409
shares in the Company representing approximately 22.43 per cent. of the
Company's enlarged share capital.

After todays announcement we may see some modest buying up to the EGM and if the meeting is the slightest bit positive then whooooosh,well that's the plan :-)

Low volume raising the SP?

On a roll this afternoon :-)

Should be very interesting tomorrow morning,anything could happen!

Nice start :-)

and a blue day there :-)
