A "picture guide" for those who'd rather not read HHSE Corporate filings

Dear HHSE Shareholders - There has been a lot of insane obfuscation on one of the more popular stock chat boards from an "intentionally confused" individual... a poster who has been spending a tremendous amount of time fabricating erroneous posts about HHSE... and absolutely no time in actually reading the corporate filings and pub-co disclosures.  Most would call such activities "Pretty Dumb." Seriously, how many otherwise productive hours has this person spent trying to convince Chicken Little that the sky is falling?  Who among the vast marketplace of legitimate shareholders cannot see the desperation of this poster to say anything that might take the shine off HHSE? 

Regardless - and in respect of our recently added and upcoming new HHSE shareholders -  we've decided to post a visual chart of the company's corporate history and structure.  The layout below is almost in "picture-format" - so even the reading-challenged should be able to figure out the simple and straight chronology of the past 20-years of operations for our company. 

Over the next few weeks, leading up to (and into) the Cannes Festival and Marche du Filme, the company will be releasing quite a bit of exciting news.  We thank our longs (and those who actually read our filings) for your support!  Go HHSE!

Additional 2013 Disclosures / Form 10 Registration Update


Dear HHSE Shareholders - in support of the Form 10 Registration Statement, HHSE has been advised to provide a more "media-specific" breakdown to the Company's 2013 revenue results;  additionally, in support of the Company's new ventures and financing, we have been advised to provide an analysis / snapshot of how 2014 is developing into revenues (which includes management's forecasts for next month's CANNES Film Festival launch of Medallion International Pictures, and a year-end forecast for this summer's consumer launch of the VODWIZ streaming service). Management feels that a combined revenue goal in the $10-mm range is realistic and obtainable.  If earnings margins maintain at the 2010 - 2013 rate, then such a result would support a share price in the range of $.15 (based on current P/E ratios for this industry sector). 

The Form 10 Registration is being reviewed and adjusted in order to minimize the likelihood of significant "comments" back from the Securities & Exchange Commission.  HHSE Management makes no representation, warranty or guarantee that 2014 gross revenues will continue through the end of this year at the current rate (which is presently tracking at $10-mm) or that the stock share price will reflect the industry average price-earnings ratios.  Still, this data is relevant for shareholder analysis, and has been suggested for inclusion in the Form 10 filing.

There's a price to pay for misinformation...

Dear HHSE Friends - about a week ago, someone "posted" onto a stock chat board what was immediately recognized as a "fraudulent misrepresentation" about Hannover House, Inc.  Apparently, this person created a FALSE business and credit report and provided this information to Dun & Bradstreet.  The report LINK was included in the chat board posting, and incorrectly identified the nature of our business and our revenues (by a factor of 1-to-100!).  When alerted to this error, Hannover House contacted D&B and was able to get them REMOVE the fraudulent listing, and then repost the accurate information on the company.  The actual D&B listing for Hannover House is the first link below.  The second link below is the "fake" listing that has since been disabled.

http://www.dandb.com/businessdirectory/mailboxesetc-springdale-ar-30549812.html

The best news is that D&B assures us that they are going to prosecute the party responsible for posting the false information!  They take the credibility of their information VERY SERIOUSLY and they have a zero tolerance for people who intentionally post false information - in this case, information posted in order to defame Hannover House.  They have agreed to provide Hannover House with the name of the individual owning the computer that will be back-traced from the IP data.  Meanwhile, and this goes without saying, if you read something really incredibly stupid and absurd on a stock chat board, consider the source.  Some traders have a motivation to talk trash about stocks, and if they cannot find anything REAL to attack, they'll invent trash to share.

Onward....

Snapshot for next few weeks?

Hannover House has received some emails from Shareholders over the past couple of days (and weeks) asking a variety of questions about upcoming activities and more.  In order to address any such issues, we are obliged to post all news developments publicly for all to see.  So while the management has been unable to individually respond to such questions, the inquiries have sparked some discussion and some outline for review.  This will be super brief today:

a).   UPLIST - yes, this is still in motion for fast results.  HHSE plans to move to OTCQB.

b).   AUDITS - yes, moving forward but never at the pace we prefer. Fortunately, we're finally into the "slower" season for Hogan Taylor now.

c).   FORM 10 REGISTRATION - yes, this is also moving forward.  We have been advised to expect "comments" from the S.E.C. but that there will be a period of time allowed to address such comments or perceived deficiencies in the filing.

d).  VODWIZ - as stated at the SH meeting, indie studio materials and masters are being accumulated; rather than slowly trickle in new titles, we prefer the impact of an instantaneous unveiling, designed and timed for maximum impact this summer.

e).  INTERNATIONAL NEWS - HHSE / Medallion is heading off to Cannes; significant news of a material nature is pending. 

f).  NEW TITLES - although the company has been announcing lower-profile titles (e.g., direct-to-video caliber releases), the major theatrical items have been timed for Cannes (again, to maximize market impact).

NOTE:  THIS IS THE LAST "SNAPSHOT" STYLE BLOG POST, PERHAPS FOREVER.  The company has been open in sharing that "exciting things are in the pipeline."  But our policy going forward will now be to DROP news and not express generic excitement in advance.  Obviously, the HHSE managers are bullish on the direction and future of HHSE;  we think our results are more important than our daily mood or enthusiasm as management.  We will, however, continue to close our blogs with:  "GO HHSE!"

Toys in the Attic - Strong "first day" launch at Walmart Canadian Locations!

Yesterday (Tuesday, April 15) was the initial "street date" for TOYS IN THE ATTIC to hit the shelves at approximately 389 Walmart locations across Canada.  We were ecstatic to hear the news this morning that yesterday's first-day sales place the title inside the top 10 for all family videos ("Frozen" is # 1), and the overall top 25 selling titles across all genres.  Fingers crossed that this weekend holds strong (weekends are best for family videos, actually... "Tuesday New Release" buyers tend to gravitate toward big theatrical releases, especially action and sci-fi, e.g. "Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug").  A strong response in the Canadian locations will help in securing a re-release placement for TOYS IN THE ATTIC into the USA Walmart stores for later this summer... so we'll keep our eyes on this current activity.  FYI, the Walmart.ca website does not currently have TOYS IN THE ATTIC listed for on-line purchase... but they requested box art yesterday and told us that it's "in process" to be added to that site.  When it goes live, we'll post the link here.
