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

Well,it's all quiet regarding news on the Internet front tonight,from what I can see!

I think the main news items that we can expect over the next three weeks are:

1. Official launch date of the Apollo's Pad project (penned in for October).

2. News/feedback from Kids WB (both official and via Internet) which is being aired this Saturday for the first time in the USA.

3. Brand Licensing,which starts on the 2nd of October.I'm expecting some major retail signings to be announced officially from this event regarding Skunk Fu.

There are plenty of other positive announcements that could be made but feel the above three are the most likely and most important for further SP movement.

I think a lot of people are willing to give GON a chance now,especially after the recent flood of official announcements that are showing GON's future direction so clearly.Obviously understand sells at these levels as it was only a year ago we were at 6p!

My view is that there is plenty more to come but as always do your own research ect ect ect-lol

I also think that the Brands Licensing Show is quite possibly the most important event in GON's history and a lot will depend on announcements following from!

This is the first time that GON have had something global ie Skunk Fu,that they can get their teeth into so to speak and so this event will be a showcase for future investment in the company depending on what they can deliver from said event-imo.

Skunk Fu is in a prime spot commercially for anyone holding the world licensing/merchandising rights as GON do,forgot.........except Germany-lol.I believe that major news is required from this event to help bring on GON's own IP's to the fore!

Skunk Fu is sitting on a plate to be a money making machine so there is no pressure at all on GON's 'new' management to perform!-lol

"Galleon Ent. has set Brand Licensing 2007 to make its hit kids animated TV property SKUNK FU! and its young adult multi-platform property APOLLO'S PAD available to licensees."

"The SKUNK FU! franchise has proven to be a hit among kids and is rapidly expanding while Apollo's Pad is about to become the next generation of short-form entertainment for young adults," said Stephen Green, CEO of Galleon Holdings plc. "We look forward to more exciting licensing partnerships at this year's Brand Licensing."

"SKUNK FU! launched on BBC1 in July 2007 with strong ratings. The animated series airing on weekdays at 3:50 pm and on weekends on CBBC, has already achieved a 20% market share and is the highest rated kids show in its timeslot. In addition, the CW has acquired the show for the U.S. to air in its Saturday morning Kids WB! Animation block. The show will air from Sept. 22, at 9:00 am every week."

"The licensed merchandise started this year with a U.K. DVD licensing deal with home entertainment giant Warner Music Group.

The series has already been sold in 35 territories including key territories such as France 5 and Canal J (France), Super RTL (Germany), RAISAT (Italy), ABC (Australia), TG4 (Ireland), SVT (Sweden) and RTBF (Belgium), Cartoon Network (Australia/Asia), with deals to be shortly announced in Norway and Free Television in France among others."

Sad lack of pictures and as if by magic 'zing'!

This is obviously not an official release but looks good for the intended age range

sounds good "Galleon Entertainment will debut Skunk Fu! "-as in Europe as a whole
:-)


"Galleon Entertainment will debut Skunk Fu! at Brand Licensing Europe as well as its young adult multi-platform property, Apollo's Pad. Skunk Fu! launched on BBC 1 in July and premieres in the United States Sept. 22 on CW Television Network on its Saturday morning Kids WB! animation block. The licensing program is already underway in the UK with a DVD from Warner Music Group. Apollos Pad, produced in association with Sony BMG, adds humor and animation to classic music tracks for 16- to 24-year-olds. The first six episodes are in production and are set in an animated live-music venue, called Apollos Pad, where each character is the personification of a music genre. Each episode follows the adventures of the king of disco dudes, club manager Hudson, and the bunch of music-loving maniacs that work and perform in Apollos Pad. A Web site, apollospad.com, will provide streaming, premium downloads and user-generated content in October 2007."

Notes to editors:

This weekend will be full of internet articles now with Skunk Fu airing in the USA tomorrow and now news on the return of Mysti :-)

So,the official launch date of Apollo's Pad looks to be the 8th October 2007 which amazingly enough ties up with the start of Mipcom!

http://www.apollospad.com/

and just to confirm:

"Thank you... Thanks for joining the Apollo's Pad guest list, we'll be in contact soon.
The full site launches on October 8."

Being a long long long term holder I have seen these Trade Show events come and go-lol

Earlier this year we saw positive announcements from Trade Shows (which is a first) regarding Skunk Fu of which we are now seeing the results with Skunk Fu in the middle of being a global IP,premiering in the USA today!
The Brands Licensing Show is going to be one if not the most important events in GON's history in my opinion.Skunk Fu is almost global and Brands Licensing is perfect timing to gain deals for both the manufacturing under license and selling of Skunk merchandise.Also it gives the opportunity to introduce our own IP's to the buyers and sellers attending and then followed by MIPCOM............so,the next few weeks are very important for GON,I think they will do greeeeeeeat!

News on Skunk Fu slowly filtering through :-)

"Skunk Fu! (The Art of Stickiness / The Art of Rivalry) - Out of all the new shows on Kids' WB!, I think this one has to be my favorite. I think the flash animation is just brilliant. The theme song is catchy and the characters are all unique and funny. This is definately one show that I'll try and catch every Saturday morning."
