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

I missed this from November of this year:




"Croco Worldwide is a global leader in the in pack premiums industry, specialising in licensed campaigns for major FMCG companies. Croco works with big brands to develop new products for promotions that are highly desirable for kids and drive playground crazes. The real point of difference with Croco is its genuine ability to innovate and bring new premiums first to the market.

As a global force, Croco has exclusive production with the most advanced food grade manufacturing and wrapping facilities available. The sheer volume of output is unmatched due to an automated environment. This ensures the highest of quality, fastest delivery and lowest possible cost."

Skunk Fu kicks off in France via France 5 on the 9th January 2008 :-)

http://www.france5.fr/zouzous/W00113/12/124729.cfm

Just typing aloud while I have a mug of tea:

Announcement on 12 JULY 2007

"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."



Then on 23 October 2007 GON announces the Phoenix deal a company that was only established in JULY who's customers include Hunan ETV and Guangdong TV:

"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)."

July appears to have been a key time! Will Ponder-lol


So,GON have two properties that maybe are still in discussion stage or already completed,one of which I think will be Sokator-442 with the added bonus of being able to carry out the interactive part 'in-house',which is nice! :-)

I had a little chuckle at Rabbit giving a 'wet willy' to one of the Ninja Monkeys:

Skunk Fu started it's airing in Belgium as of the 1st January 2008 and as said before starts in France tomorrow :-)

http://www.ladeux.be/rtbf_2000/bin/view_something.cgi?type=sac&id=0173872_sac&menu=default&pub=be.la2.fr%2Fhomepage

Also started airing in Norway via NRK:


http://www.nrk.no/programmer/sider/skunk_fu/

"STRATEGY FOR ROLLOUT: "We are very excited by how Skunk Fu! is being embraced by both broadcasters and children on three continents already, says Genevieve Dexter, a director at Cake Entertainment. Furthermore, by January 2008 we will be on air on key platforms in the U.S., U.K., Germany and France. This creates the ideal platform for bringing Skunk Fu! merchandise to market by autumn/winter 2008, once Skunk Fu! starts to be embedded in the general consciousness of all these markets."

"Ed Galton, the managing director of Cake Distribution, adds: "Although we are in the fortunate position to have brought on board many key markets, we are going to MIPCOM to bring on board the last pieces of our puzzle. Concretely, Latin America and Spain will be special focus areas.

Interesting to note that since the 'placing' at end of October 07 of an extra 27.6 million shares stability in the SP has occurred! You could say that's due to the placing at 29p and the mid price is 28.5p but I think there is more to this than meets the eye.The low selling volumes since would suggest that there is very good news on the way-imo
I could be wrong of course and only time will tell!

Not sure what caused the tick-up there,unless SCAP is looking to fill a buy order,maybe! lol

Nice 100k buy turned up and one of the two 10k sells deleted,which is nice! :-)

Wow,that was a good night..........I think-lol.Me cold is a lot better now.....

Results for GON should be announced by end of month which I'm hoping will shed greater light on the Phoenix part of GON.

I am expecting Croco to be involved in a big way regarding Skunk Fu this year,the potential is there now the series is global!

I keep getting this feeling that Apollo's Pad is just a 'tester' for Sokator-442 but if a TV series is announced then and ONLY THEN can you really judge the state of play.A TV series makes AP a 360' product entwining the whole concept,it doesn't work otherwise-imo.

Relating to Skunk Fu:

Even with seven kids' channels in the country, Cartoon Network and Pogo continue to be #1 and #2, garnering almost 50% of channel shares in 2007! Cartoon Network and POGO accounted for 98 of the top 100 transmissions across all kids' channels in 2007, up from 91 in 2006! Even the highest raters on kids' channels - shows that rate 2+ TVRs - have exclusively been on Cartoon Network and POGO in 2007!


Ad sales for India and South Asia region achieved a new height with 32% growth, of which kids' entertainment grew by 26%, HBO by 16%, CNN by 41% and Cartoon Network Pakistan by 73%!

Our 2008 mission is to continue to blaze the trail and the lead the Industry from the front.
