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.

The first episodes features the classic Monkees song I'm a Believer, as well as the hit songs War and Money. Apollo's Pad will be available for TV, online, and mobile as well as being on apollospad.com from October 2007. Brian Rawlings of Metrophonic Studios is producing the music for series.

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."

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."

Is it to early to have a party aboard the Galleon...............noooooo was the cry!

Not a bad start to the day!

A somewhat quiet end to the day but a good day all the same!

http://www.wbnxtoons.com/

http://www.animationmagazine.net/

If the chart is anything to go by then with a bit of positive news from the two Trade Shows then..................hmmmm,I would like to say 50p but all depends on news and maybe some further insight into GON's actual revenue,maybe?

And just for balance if there is no news from either Trade Show then GON will dive to sub 20p-imo.

With Skunk Fu alone being just about global and with GON holding the world (except Germany) licensing/merchandising rights they can't fail.................imo.

My Log says the geese are flying soon and this is a good sign!

Steady away type day which is great until Brand Licensing next week followed the week after by MIPCOM and the launch of Apollo's Pad.

The Hardman and Co September report was released today and a big disappointment regarding content or lack of!

http://www.hardmanandco.com/Research/monthly/September_07_Monthly.pdf

They have been known to update previously released reports so I expect this to happen for Septembers.........

Below is a list from April 2007 to todays for both information and a sort of 'spot what they've missed' type game :-)


H&C April 2007

GALLEON (SP=13.5)

It is interesting time for Galleon with a number of announcements this month.
We were extremely glad to see that Sokator-442, the football based animation
series, has received offers from broadcasters in Germany and Australia.
Sokator-442 seems to have been a little slower to take off than Apollos Pad or Skunk-Fu! but at last it is getting there, giving Galleon Entertainment three properties ready for development.

MIPTV is being held in Cannes and Galleon is marketing Sokator-442 and
the music-based animation Apollos Pad actively.
Galleon is already well on track with its IP properties and a good MIPTV could
improve their potential considerably.Separately, Galleon announced a new EUR 700k order for its in-pack premium business, Croco. It will be
providing the Blasterz toy for Pepsico in two additional territories. Croco has done well to build on its existing contracts in addition to winning new business and its high level of sales gives us confidence in our forecasts
for this side of the business.
The shares responded quickly to the announcements.Having drifted down towards
8p in a period with little newsflow, they have now moved up to 13.5p.


H&C May 2007

GALLEON (SP=11.8)

Pepsico has placed a E0.3m reorder for the toy IP Blasterz.
Chief Executive Stephen Green suggests that this could indicate
long term sustainable revenues from the product, as territories
re-use the IP for other promotions.


H&C June 2007

GALLEON (SP=14p)

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 fromstrength to strength,
contributing the majority oft he company's turnover.

Meanwhile Galleon 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 into production.

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.


H&C July 2007

GALLEON (SP=17.5p)

The rights to market Blasterz IP in the UK, France,Germany and Italy through
retail channels have been licensed to Topps, a global creator and marketer. This is the first retail deal for Blasterz and directors talk of
there being tremendous potential in the retail market.

Topps is a specialist in the distribution of pocket money entertainment
products. The deal does not involve a fixed financial sum,but is dependent upon sales.
Galleon continues to supply Pepsico and other companies with Blasterz for use in promotions. To date, 175 million Blasterz have been placed across ten markets
The shares reached a new high on the news.


H&C September 2007

GALLEON (SP=29p)

Galleons share price remains strong as the company continues to put out positive news flow. This month saw a Pepsico double the size of its
original EUR 1m order with Croco for Blasterz, taking the product for a new territory.
