Update on HHSE Activities in Support of FORM 10 & MyFlix

Greetings HHSE Friends - In follow-up to the post from last week on corporate activities, here's a quick summary / Update.  NEW information is in BLUE CAPS. 


1).  New Staff - Watch for a News Release covering newly hired employees (not outside contractors) that are working on our MyFlix launch.  THREE NEW FULL-TIME SUPPORT STAFFERS HAVE NOW BEEN HIRED (ONE IS ALREADY IN THE OFFICE AND THE OTHER TWO START NEXT WEEK). AS THESE ARE NOT "MANAGEMENT LEVEL" POSITIONS, THE COMPANY WAS ADVISED TO NOT VIOLATE THEIR PRIVACY BY INCLUDING PHOTOS AND NAMES. HOWEVER, VP AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES WILL ALWAYS BE DISCLOSED.


2).  Updated Websites - both the HHSE and MyFlix sites will have significant revamps this week (but possibly NOT published until the weekend) in order to better reflect current activities as well as a more consumer-friendly layout with MyFlix.  THE MYFLIX LAYOUTS LOOK INCREDIBLE.  UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DO NOT PROPERLY INTERFACE WITH THE AWS INFRASTRUCTURE. ADJUSTMENTS ARE BEING MADE. HOWEVER, WE COULD TAKE A HALF-STEP AND REMOVE THE "CREDIT CARD REGISTRATION" OPTION AT THIS POINT IF ONGOING INTERFACE ISSUES REMAIN.  THIS IS NOT AN IMPEDIMENT TO THE FORM 10, AS WE ONLY PLANNED TO UPDATE THE MYFLIX PLACE-HOLDER SITE... THE ACTUAL LAUNCH OF MYFLIX WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH THE COMPANY'S S1 OFFERING.  SO THE ORDER IS:  FORM 10 FILED, S1 FILED PROMPTLY THEREAFTER, MYFLIX LAUNCHED WITH THE FUNDING SUPPORT FROM THE S1.  OUR DESIGN TEAM IS REFOCUSING ATTENTION OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS ON UPDATING THE HHSE SITE, WHICH HAD NOT OTHERWISE BEEN UPDATED IN SEVERAL YEARS (!!).


3).    Corporate Registrations - Although not due until January, we have been advised to file all of the 2022 annual filing fees this week, as the Form 10 references that the company is current on such basic corporate housekeeping issues (e.g., Hannover House, Inc., Medallion Releasing, Inc., Bookworks, Inc., VODWIZ, Inc.).  THESE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED SINCE THE PRIOR BLOG POST. 


4).    State and Federal Taxes - We have been advised to pay these modest balances immediately, as the Form 10 narrative states that the company is current on all such taxes.  FEDERAL TAXES HAVE BEEN PAID SINCE THE PRIOR BLOG POST, AND THE STATE TAX ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN APPEALED (WHICH EFFECTIVELY RENDERS THE CLAIM MOOT AS FAR AS FORM 10 IMPACT). 



5).    Dedicated MyFlix Phone System & Service Lines - will be ordered tomorrow. This will include a main telephone line for HHSE on the Form 10 and future corporate listings.  DEDICATED MYFLIX PHONE LINES HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND WILL BE INSTALLED THIS WEEK. 


6).    Formal Engagement & Retainer for Library Valuation Service - Although the new library valuation will occur in February - well-after the Form 10 is filed - we have been advised that formal engagement of this specialty analysis firm now will complement our Form 10 notes regarding the stale status of the existing (2010) Library Valuation.  To be clear, the engagement of this firm is what is occurring this week... their updated library report will be completed in February and the completion of this new report is not an impediment to the F10 filing schedule. PARKINSON IS MEETING WITH THE LIBRARY VALUATION TEAM IN LOS ANGELES ON FRIDAY, AND WILL REMIT THE RETAINER PAYMENT AS WELL AS REVIEW THE LOGISTICS AND ISSUES FOR THE FEB. 2022 NEW REPORT. 


7).    Updated "Current" Status Key Vendors - in support of comments made within the narrative portion of the Form 10, key attorneys, vendors and rights issues will be brought "Current" in the next few days.  All of these activities are being addressed immediately in support of strengthening the registration statement and minimizing the potential for significant commentary from the Securities & Exchange Commission.  THESE ARE IN MOTION BUT NOT FULLY RESOLVED / RETIRED AS OF THIS MORNING. NOT A MATERIAL CONCERN, AS THEY WILL BE RECTIFIED IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.


FIVE OF SEVEN MATTERS ARE FULLY RESOLVED... THE OTHER TWO ARE IN CURRENT AND EXPEDITED MOTION!

New activities in UPTONE case to freeze the false & fraudulent claim

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - the HHSE Motion to Modify or otherwise SET-ASIDE the UPTONE Pictures absurd claim against HHSE was DENIED in the Federal Court last week.  This was not unexpected, as attorney Daniel King informed HHSE that Federal Court judges generally are not looking for a heavier case load than they already have to manage.  


Accordingly, and in anticipation of this possible outcome, HHSE prepared a nuclear cannon of a "Plan B" legal response action, which will happen within the next few days.  Our new action is expected to freeze the default case and turn the tables on the matter.  


We do not believe that this Federal Court denial will in any way impede or impact the filing of the Form 10, based upon the strength of our Plan B activities.  For what it's worth, the company's original plan was to proceed with the strategy now referred to as the Plan B actions. However, we were informed that legal protocols required that we must first file to have the fraudulently obtained foreign default motions DENIED before we could turn the cannon around.  So we proceeded to follow these proper procedures, and can finally now take the offensive.  The details of the new actions will be posted onto this blog (will probably be about a week from now, after court filings).  Meanwhile, we're in full FORM 10 and MYFLIX mode!


In an unrelated matter - but one that some shareholders have inquired about - the formal DISCHARGE of the Fred Shefte personal bankruptcy was filed this morning and IS NOW LIVE on the Federal court docket (see below). The status of Fred's personal bankruptcy has no impact or relevance whatsoever to HHSE, excepting that the desperate stock short-sellers are hoping to create fear and uncertainty in order to drive the HHSE stock price down. So, with the Shefte bankruptcy off their list-of-lies, they will have to fabricate some other "sky is falling" baloney to suppress the HHSE stock price.  Ask yourself:  what is their motivation to relentlessly BASH the HHSE stock, especially on the eve of the Form 10 filing and the MyFlix launch?  Most wise trader's believe that their motivation is to drive DOWN the HHSE price so that they can buy shares on-the-cheap, and benefit when the stock pops over $.05 / share (as many have predicted may occur). If shareholders are seeing this sort of stock bash posts, recognize that this is actually a sign of GREAT CONFIDENCE in HHSE. They are expecting that the PPS will soon pop upwards, and they are trying to appeal to the basal emotion of Fear and Uncertainty to TRICK existing shareholders into selling on-the-cheap. If you've been on the HHSE train for years... seems self-defeating to jump off just as the company is finally arriving at the destination. Don't let those guys win!

MyFlix Site Layouts and Interface with AWS Hosting

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - the past few days (and up until just minutes ago) were spent in reviewing page designs, menu functions and AI smart programming for the MyFlix home pages and key link pages.  Graphically, it looks fantastic.  But functionally, there are interface issues with technical requirements of AWS as host.  


HHSE has instructed our web design vendor to temporarily pause their work on MyFlix and spend some hours on updating the HHSE site (which does not require compliance with a very regimented interface structure). We will move to update the HHSE site with current titles and activities within the next two or three days... while they are awaiting instructions from AWS on how the MyFlix layouts can be adjusted to conform.  


LOOKING GOOD!


More to follow....

HHSE Visibility / Profile and Corporate Positioning

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - As action items and narrative components of our Form 10 filing, we are implementing the following "corporate positioning" activities over the next few days during this shortened Holiday Week:


1).  New Staff - Watch for a News Release covering newly hired employees (not outside contractors) that are working on our MyFlix launch.


2).  Updated Websites - both the HHSE and MyFlix sites will have significant revamps this week (but possibly NOT published until the weekend) in order to better reflect current activities as well as a more consumer-friendly layout with MyFlix.


3).    Corporate Registrations - Although not due until January, we have been advised to file all of the 2022 annual filing fees this week, as the Form 10 references that the company is current on such basic corporate housekeeping issues (e.g., Hannover House, Inc., Medallion Releasing, Inc., Bookworks, Inc., VODWIZ, Inc.).

HHSE Updates - As of Nov. 15, 2021

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - As requested by some of our most significant and loyal long shareholders, this BLOG update was requested in response to the "quiet" period from last week.  

Here's the key items that we can disclose, and to the extent that such information does not self-sabotage the activities in motion.


1).  Q3 OTC FILINGS - These were completed and posted on Sunday night (Nov. 14); they were ready weeks ago, but withheld pending accounting review of how some "unusual" items were to be coded. For instance, the LEWIN Settlement required a major write-down of funds previously "reserved" from the company's balance sheet; off-balance sheet financing ventures (for auditing, legal, Lewin settlement and WILDFIRE secured production loans) also required some CPA level input and consultation. In any event, the filings were released to the OTC Markets in time to assure our continued status as "current."


2).  FORM 10 REGISTRATION - The company's Form 10 narrative has been updated to provide clear notation to the removal or rebuttal of the foreign defaults that the company endured in 2018 during the long hospitalization of former HHSE President Fred Shefte. As mentioned above, the LEWIN matter was settled. The UPTONE and Daisy Winters / Shuttlewood matters have been filed in California and both will be ruled upon in the coming months; however, the action of taking affirmative steps to present meritorious legal motions in these matters was the task to which HHSE Management was assigned. Special counsel (for the Form 10) is responsible for the attorney opinion for the filing, and this step is now in motion.


3).  MAJOR MEDIA VENTURE - As mentioned almost two weeks ago, HHSE have been working out a multi-million dollar venture with a major media company (in the Fortune 500). Our hope that this venture would be announced quickly hit the wall of attorneys that these large companies almost always engage in such matters. Accordingly, we are not yet allowed to disclose the venture until all of the minutia issues are mutually agreed.  But it's exciting and quite challenging BUT ESSENTIAL to keep confidential. 


4).  ANOTHER MAJOR VENTURE - A non-affiliate investor group has committed to providing development funds to move "THE LEGEND OF BELLE STARR" into full pre-production in anticipation of the April 26, 2022 commencement of principal photography.  The 10-week shoot will cover the final two years of the infamous Maybelle Starr's life - with a focus on her opposition to the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889, and her unsolved ambush murder just weeks before this historic event. HHSE is in discussion with three major stars for the film (in the roles of BELLE STARR, SENATOR HENRY DAWES and BUFFALO BILL CODY) - so having access to development funds will facilitate these negotiations as well as the long-lead time required for the period-consistent construction of the Sam & Belle Starr Log Cabin and Stables. Production costs for this film are just shy of $12-mm, and include significant overhead payments to Hannover House as one of the the production companies.


5).  COWBOYS OF CANNABIS - Production continues in full speed on Season One episodes of COWBOYS OF CANNABIS - including some fun stuff shot last Friday and Saturday at the Imperious Cannabis Convention in Oklahoma City. Footage and antics were shot with many of the C.O.C. series regular (including RACHEL KLUBEK, DAVID TRUJILLO, KID LENNON, the RED BILLY BOYS and A.J. THE SALES GOAT).  Special guest appearance footage with SNOOP DOGG and JIM BELUSHI will spice up this episode, along with some of the always unpredictable wildness of the Cowboys of Cannabis operating in this multi-billion dollar industry.

EXCITING TIMES!!!

HHSE Continues Progress for Removal of Legal Issues Obstructing F10 Filing

Good Afternoon HHSE Friends - As requested, below is a quick update on various activities.


1).  LEGAL ISSUES - Progress continues to be made in removing or addressing legal issues that have impeded the filing of the company's Form 10 Registration.  Here's an updated summary:

a).  LEWIN - Formal Settlement Agreement has been signed and the court dockets in NY and AR will be updated shortly.

b).  UPTONE - Based on the strong, legal merits of the HHSE motion, the oral-arguments hearing for last week was canceled in favor of a judicial review and ruling. We expect to prevail and that this news will be formalized in the next 30 days. Regardless, the filing has been satisfied to evidence to the S.E.C. that HHSE has meritorious legal positions and is pursuing same.

c).  DAISY WINTERS - Filing of Motion to Dismiss Default will occur today, prior to the response deadline under California law.

 

2).  COWBOYS OF CANNABIS - HHSE is fielding offers from various international distributors, and has engaged a top Beverly Hills entertainment law firm to negotiate the offer received from a major USA partner.  Big deals with big media partners are complex and take time - and longer than we had hoped. But we haven't stopped smiling for the past week. Very exciting stuff...


 3).  TRIBUTE TO COLIN POWELL - HHSE C.E.O. Eric Parkinson had the honor of a private dinner with General Colin Powell in August, 1996 when both he and General Powell were the featured speakers at the Video Software Dealers Association Convention.  Parkinson can attest that General Powell was a personable individual, with great humility and respect for others.  May his legacy continue to be an inspiration to others in this time of political polarization and divided culture.  He was a great man and a great asset for America - and will be missed.
