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

It sounds to me as though GON have gone into the Mobile and Internet side in a very methodical way and as they themselves say or suggest,it's been a learning curve!
This avenue they have gone down shows that the Phoenix deal along with the area it covers has been a long term goal and GON have completed the necessary groundwork to hit this market in a big way pretty quickly-imo.

The Apollo's Pad website has been down all weekend................A proper official launch this week? Further announcements regarding AP and Asia?

Treasure comes to all that wait:


It's a Goldmine!





Captain Pugwash originally appeared in the first 12 issues of Eagle comic.

The Eagle was launched on 14 April 1950. The initial print run of 900,000 sold out. Captain Pugwash ran for 19 issues [John Ryan] before it was withdrawn. Other memorable characters were Skippy the Kangeroo and Dan Dare.

Apollo's Pad website back up and running,I see.Will have a good look later but this bit is new:


"Coming to this site soon: karaoke, audition for a part in the show, prizes and competitions"

Strange day on what little volume there was,it's as though the trades at 28.5 were sells and all the others buys but below mid-price.Probably all sells but strangely interesting all the same!

I may be wrong (Ed-you usually are) but i think there must be news this week that will kick us up to 40p,just a guess so don't bank on it!There are too many big players involved now and feel an announcement is due.Just my opinion and news will obviously clarify!

The last announcement:

Galleon Holdings PLC
09 November 2007


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

Interactive TV Agreement with TV3 - Malaysia's largest broadcaster

Galleon Holdings plc, the AIM-listed intellectual property owner and developer
in the entertainment sector, is pleased to announce that its Hong Kong based
media solutions company, Phoenix Investment Global Limited ('Phoenix'), has
signed a deal with TV3, the largest TV station in Malaysia, with 21 million
viewers. Under the terms of the deal, Phoenix will receive a fee for the supply
of its multi-platform interactive system to TV3. It will also receive ongoing
management fees and a revenue share on related activities, as a part of a
multi-year service agreement to provide sms gateway, interactive advertising
and sms campaign management.

Galleon recently acquired Phoenix, which specialises in the provision of
interactive broadcast television services in China and South East Asia, which
allow broadcasters to provide interactive entertainment that audiences can
access through TV, online and most importantly, mobile. Phoenix's customers
include leading broadcasters such as Hunan ETV, Hunan Satellite, Guangdong
Sports Channel (China) and Media Prima (Malaysia). Phoenix is managed by a team
of experienced media executives who are at the forefront of providing
entertainment through mobile and interactive media in Asia.

Commenting, Stephen Green, CEO of Galleon, said:

'Our strategy with Phoenix is to aggressively grow our Asian footprint and then
maximise the value of the pipeline this creates by providing interactive
entertainment content with strong revenue potential. With this in mind we are
clearly delighted to see immediate footprint growth with a market leader like
TV3 coming on board so soon after the acquisition of Phoenix. We are looking at
both Galleon developed IP and properties submitted by 3rd party content owners
to satisfy the demand for content that this is creating.'

From the above:
' Under the terms of the deal, Phoenix will receive a fee for the supply
of its multi-platform interactive system to TV3'
Does that imply that GON/Phoenix have sold the 'stand alone' base that can be used for various programes by TV3?
Lots of news to come from the Far East methinks! :-)

A little overdone,don't you think!

There's either someone selling a boat load or mm's know there's an announcement due soon-imo dyor ect ect ect

Edit-looks like it is brand new as of today :-)


Never noticed that before,there is a 'press' part on the bottom right of main page of Apollo's Pad that when clicked leads to a 'Press Toolkit' page.

Still evolving but looking like an exciting IP and can't wait for the Sokatoer-442 version!

"Logos, images, press releases and more... About Apollo's Pad:


a short introduction
Apollo's Pad is a new comedy animation show produced by Galleon Holdings and backed by Sony BMG - it will be on TV next year.
Set in a nightclub, it follows the adventures of disco dude Hudson, the new club manager as he tried to get the club in shape, despite his less than ideal staff and singers.
Each character will reflect a different musical genre, from disco to rap and every episode will feature a newly-recorded version of a classic music track from Sony BMG's back catalogue.

I feel a late night visit from the Lady with the Log is on the cards............can't wait,can you? :-)

I'm waiting....and the bubbly is on ice :-)

Evening Krackett,
Looking rather good methinks,back much later.

Not sure what anyone else thinks but Hardman & Co have lost all credibility in their reports as far as I'm concerned or have other agendas.

*************************************************
Edit-Misunderstood,so apologies Hardman and Co.
*************************************************

Not saying for one moment they should ramp the companies they choose but in the last two reports they have delibratly toned down their information regarding GON!In the last report GON was their leading riser and they hardly gave GON a mention and now they still completely ignore Apollo's Pad and concentrate on Mysti!!!!!! AMAZING-lol

Edit-In that after all the positive news flow why didn't H&C just say cut your losses as we don't think GON can achieve their goals.A positive sign to me-dyor,lol


GALLEON

Galleons shares are now trading close to a year high,up from around 10p in the
first half of the year to over 30p now after a stream of excellent newsflow. Good news continued this month with the announcement of a deal for Mysti, the teenage girls series. The feature film rights have been optioned to Cutstone Feature Productions for 265,000. A further 500,00 is payable if the film
goes into production, together with a share of 15% of net profits. This is excellent news as Mysti was beginning to look a little like the bridesmaid of the IP portfolio.

An up-day is an up-day which in turn is in fact an up-day!

ABC Australia are still repeating the first series of Skunk Fu at least into December!This is a very good sign,in my opinion.

From the 'Dark Side',there is talk of a third series being aired March-April 2008 :-)


http://www.abc.com.au/tv/guide/netw/200711/programs/ZY8522A019D12112007T064500.htm

Good day so far.
