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

From the USA,The Hollywood Reporter:

U.K.'s Galleon grabs Hong Kong's Phoenix

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/international/news/e3ic6473397b3b8e940a597f47ce782901e

And from Variety Asia Online:

Galleon sails with HK interactive player

http://www.varietyasiaonline.com/content/view/4764/

Hansard who do the Financial PR for GON have been very quiet with the last update on their website being 08/05/2007 !

All this good news, yet little buying and no price increase....

What's your opinion on why this is?

Evening Krackett,
My opinion,for what it's worth:

1.Read through this thread and ignore my silly bits,this will give an insight into the bad old days.

2.Green,Dunne and Wong changed the direction along with injecting monies.

3.Old IP's thrown out with new realistic IP's and joint ventures taking there place.

4.Croco doing amazingly well over the last year or so.

The main point is that GON has massive potential but there are still no black and white figures for revenue,sales ect ect ect.The good news is that the 'big players' appear to be involved now,which shows a lot of faith or they have a greater insight into GON's future prospects than I do.

GON is still high risk as the above shows,relating to the SP at the present time as it's all on potential!

The fact that last weeks share issues have all but been taken up shows great promise for the future.

I will reply in greater detail another night-lol

New channel for the screening of Skunk Fu in USA starting next month,Time Warner Cable:



http://television.aol.com/show/-/SH009631380000/upcoming

Mick

It looks to me that Skunk is being moved out of the KidsWB block that has been subcontracted and is going on to the main network. Good news I agree but it would suggest it isn't a new channel but a move from its existing slot

I could be wrong...ask GON

Morning Peter and cheers.I'll have a look tonight but sounds about right.

Of more interest is that 8 million via a share placing has been taken up by institutions and 'other' investors-imo
This shows great confidence for the future-imo

1. Skunk Fu-Animation from Cartoon Saloon which GON have a 15% stake in with a clause to increase but no other details.They own the world merchandising rights,excluding Germany as they bought a bigger share.
SF was first aired in Australia and is still being repeated ie first series,followed by the UK and then the USA and still being shown/repeated,first series.

Merchandising which I thought wrongly would be this year but has been planned all along for back end of next year,which is fair enough as the powers that be know more about this than a mere banja player........obviously!

SF will have it's first airing in the rest of Europe before the year is out-fact!

I believe the profit from this IP to be in the region of 2-10 million per year!

2.Apollo's Pad-A 360' platform ie covers all media formats.Launched this month whether officially or not via the internet and displayed on a few of the big players eg Youtube,Facebook and Bebo.The TV series or link is forecast for early 2008.

http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k7/sep/sep267.php

3.Sokator-442-A 360' platform that I believe will be the big one but could be wrong of course!Still in early stages or kept secret..................perhaps!

The link below explains better than I could:

http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k7/sep/sep384.php

4.Mysti-Leave that to GON's announcement below but this is a proven IP and there is no reason why it can't take centre stage again-imo.

http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1193790704&article=22356144&symbol=L%5EGON


5.Croco-GON's savior with an estimated 7.6 million (at least) of sales in the last year,not profit!Last announcement below:

http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1193791118&article=22904486&symbol=L%5EGON

6. hmmmmmmmmm,now we come to the other announcement that should maybe be at the top in the potential stakes!

"Phoenix specialises in the provision of interactive broadcast television
services which allow broadcasters in China and South East Asia to provide
interactive entertainment that their audiences can access through TV, online and
mobile. Its customers are leading broadcasters such as Hunan ETV, Hunan
Satellite, Guangdong Sports Channel (China) and Media Prima (Malaysia). Phoenix
is a company registered in the British Virgin Islands, with headquarters in Hong
Kong and also has offices in China and Malaysia. Phoenix was established in July
2007 by a team of experienced media executives who are at the forefront of
providing entertainment through mobile and interactive media in Asia."

Here is the link:

http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1193791250&article=22856533&symbol=L%5EGON


It's too late to go into the above but it looks very positive medium/long term with a few dips on the olde short term as things (a good word-lol) sort themselves out and further info. on all the above is released-imo.

Just me ramblings and just trying to quantify it all in a nutshell as it were but ended far too short due to time!

It's the AIM and this is still high risk but as said before the risk factor is decreasing day by day but be careful!


Forgot about Hoo Ha House,Pepper's Patrol and The Fomorian!Or even Astro Knights which what ever anyone says still looks good today as it did then!

GON have 8 million injected into the company,lets see what they can achieve.

The start of a few 'holding' announcements from the recent 'placing' beginning to show:


TR-1 NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES

http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200710311643057646G.html

32 THURSDAY OCTOBER 25 2007 BUSINESS

http://www.irishnews.com/access/pdfedition/2007/10/25/A32P4.pdf

Well,that was a long day!

Anyways just a reminder from earlier this year:

Galleon's IP unit receives major sales orders
Fri 13 Apr 2007


"LONDON (SHARECAST) - Intellectual property group Galleon said its entertainment IP division has received pre-sale orders for its comedy adventure series Sokator-442 from major TV broadcasters in Germany and Australia.
It is also in advanced discussions with a number of other buyers in key territories, it said in today's trading update."

And more importantly in the shorter term:

"Galleon's IP division said it is in negotiations in China and India over sales of its music animation property, Apollo's Pad"

http://www.sharecast.com/cgi-bin/sharecast/story.cgi?story_id=1202355

oooooooo that's good,just had a look on Apollo's Pad and you can now buy yes buy the MP3's for both War and I'm a believer for 99p each :-)

This is just the start and imagine the potential in China/India and the rest of the world for that matter! :-)

A similar format will be set-up for Sokator-442 in my opinion.

This is an interesting message from one of the links to youtube regarding 'I'm a believer':

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Sony BMG Music Entertainment"

From January 2007 and GON's Final Results:

"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."

The only reason I can think of and a clue might be the inclusion of the buy facility for mp3's on the AP website today is that Sony BMG are looking to keep the video side to the AP website only but then why delete it from the AP site?I suppose it could be a link issue that is being addressed,will ponder-lol

Nothing to worry about as Apollo's Pad is still at an early stage and looks very promising for the future and especially when as they say,that the TV series will be out early 2008!

If you can do this (link below) then why buy as you can copy youtube vids quite easily but then again the mp3 sound quality may be better:

'War'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4p4Ej30JKM

There may be a conflict of interest between GON and Sony BMG in as GON don't care who sees the vid's the more the merrier but Sony BMJ may be saying feck your bigger picture we want a slice now,just a ramble-lol

It could also be one big publicity stunt of course!

Sony BGM are the music partner providing access to music rights and catalogue so you would have thought all scenarios would have been sorted before going 'live'!

You can still find 'I'm a believer',of course :-)

http://www.ifilm.com/video/2906277

http://video.yahoo.com/video/group?gid=1953041

You can now buy the 'War' MP4 video for 1.89 on-line via the Apollo's pad website,which is nice! :-)

With the TV series due out early 2008 combined with the website and 8 million from the 'placing':

"The majority of the proceeds of the Placing will be used to fund the future
development of the enlarged group's interests in China"

After buying the Hong Kong media group Phoenix Investment Global who are a TV text and phone voting company then it's all coming together rather nicely:

"The Acquisition forms part of Galleon's ongoing expansion programme, providing
the Company with a strengthened presence in China. It also provides the Company
with a platform from which it can source new business opportunities. Together
Galleon and Phoenix intend to exploit their broadcaster relationships across
South East Asia, to increase the provision of interactive services and to roll
out new entertainment properties."

"Commenting on the acquisition, Stephen Green, Chief Executive of Galleon, said:
'Our strategy for cross-platform media entertainment has been to focus on the
emerging markets, with their huge audiences and high mobile phone penetration.
With Phoenix, Galleon has a pipeline straight into China and Asia giving our
cross-platform entertainment content access to hundreds of millions of viewers
at any one time. The sheer size of the audiences in China alone creates whole
new scale-based business models, and the Phoenix team has the experience,
network and relationships to maximise these opportunities going forward."

Oh and a lol.You can now buy via download the \'I\'m a believer\' MP4 ie video for 1.89,just been up-dated.Personally I would just like a T-shirt! :-)


I wonder if the animation/video/song \'Money\' will be shown on Apollo\'s Pad over the weekend?


Edit-Could turn Blue by end of day,or maybe not! :-)

Looks like GON are pulling out all the stops in getting the word out:

yahoo-Brazil

yahoo-Malaysia

Suffice to say it's global :-)
