HHSE Board of Directors approves Uplisting / Registration Costs
Dear HHSE Friends, Followers & Shareholders: At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of Hannover House, Inc., held on Thursday, October 19 at 11:00-am, the Board voted unanimously to immediately reinstate the prior filing activities to register the company's stock shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10). The Board also authorized the following budgetary expenditures - to be funded from ongoing cash flows - to promptly complete this task:

The one-time costs for the registration / uplist are estimated at $88,250. The ongoing (annualized) maintenance costs are estimated at $44,000 (inclusive of the Quarterly Reviews by the PCAOB Auditing firm, and the annual year-end report and legal review).
Based on current cash flow and resources - and considering the anticipated benefits to the Company and its shareholders for HHSE as a fully registered equity - the Board has authorized the immediate implementation of this plan and the authorization of these expenditures.
The Board believes that Fully Registered Shares will be more attractive to HHSE program suppliers and investors - as well as to institutional investors and hedge funds - and that pursuing these activities now is a good use of ongoing cash flows.

PRODUCT$-PRODUCT$-PRODUCT$. GETTING.GRACE-WHERE'S.THE.DRAGON-BLOODFEAST-DAISY.WINTERS-BATTLECREEK & OTHERS
GETTING GRACE - Hot on the heels of a major NYC Market festival SWEEP of all major awards, HHSE will be releasing this Faith-Based Comedy-Drama nationwide on February 10, 2018 - with an outreach campaign that includes mega-churches and a key-market BUS TOUR with star and director DANIEL ROEBUCK ("Matlock", "The Fugitive") to drive local market enthusiasm.
WHERE'S THE DRAGON - With the dissolution of the merger between HHSE and Crimson Forest, the company is finally cleared to revert back to the terms of the Dec. 2016 distribution agreement for this title. Accordingly, on February 3, 2018, this enchanting Animated Feature will be released to theatres in key markets, in advance of a May, 2018 Home Video and V.O.D. launch.
DEATH HOUSE - A wild horror-comedy from the producer of "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" is building strong horror-market enthusiasm from conventions and specialty sites. Opens Jan. 19, 2018 in a yet-undetermined (but significant) number of theatres!
CHOSEN - this impressive World War II thriller continues to get theatrical bookings in key USA markets, and now into CANADA (Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver)... watch for playdates in December and January.
BLOODFEAST - Now that the MPAA has approved our fourth edit for "R-Rating Status" - we can FINALLY get mainstream theatres to book this picture... watch for a roll-out beginning Nov. 17 into top markets (staggered over a 2-month period).
DAISY WINTERS - a much broader release (over 100 theatres) is set for December 1st for this awards-worthy drama featuring stunning performances from Brooke Shields and a breakout performance from young Sterling Jerins in the title role. The Media support has already begun, fueled by the Hannover House MEDIA DAY in NYC on Sept. 26, plus a special event premiere at the Regal Union Square (NYC) on Oct. 5. Already, Brooke has appeared on several national talk shows promoting DAISY WINTERS, including Bravo's WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE and the highly rated TODAY SHOW on NBC. Much more to come, including major feature stories in People Magazine, USA Today, Closer, In-Touch, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, EXTRA and E! TV.
BATTLECREEK - the acclaimed dramatic thriller from director ALISON EASTWOOD opens in two weeks (Nov. 3), in approx. 20 locations in key USA Markets. The film's primary star is BILL SKARSGARD, well-known from his current smash hit "IT" (he plays Pennywise, the scary clown), and his upcoming Stephen King TV series, "Castlerock." We have been fortunate to receive major media support for BATTLECREEK, including National TV show placements on: ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, EXTRA, E! and ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, and Alison Eastwood interview appearances on FOX AND FRIENDS, THE VIEW, TALK, GOOD DAY NY and HOME AND FAMILY. There will be an "Eastwood Family Screening Event" in Los Angeles on opening night (Nov. 3), which will be open to the public (and is expected to generate good attendance).
****
BOGUS DEFAULT JUDGMENTS EVAPORATED: PHOTOG($2.2M),TCA($400K),REDBULL($250K),AMITYVILLE($300K).
THESE BOGUS DEFAULTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BK THE COMPANY. LMAO.
****
VODWIZ UPDATE - As anticipated, we have closed a major studio venture that will provide tonnage of product to VODWIZ, including a large quantity of recent, theatrical hits. The totality of programming that will be available to consumers through VODWIZ appears to be on track to being second only to Amazon at this point. We see VODWIZ as a major portal for home entertainment digital streaming access, and potentially "the tail that wags the dog" so to speak. Additionally, we are about a week away from the anticipated finalization of a private funding structure to finance the costs associated with building the VODWIZ website (to Amazon Digital infrastructure standards), and all other pre-launch and initial consumer launch costs for this venture.
MORE VODWIZ - there's another MAJOR STUDIO ALERT in the works! Over the past three years of development, two Major Studios (each offering a small "test quantity" of titles for VODWIZ), were secured to support the initial launch of this streaming operation. Now, we are poised for a very major development of a third Major Studio with over 500 high-profile, ready-to-place titles available for the VODWIZ streaming platform. HHSE key managers (Fred Shefte and Eric Parkinson) are meeting at the studio in southern California on Friday to discuss the logistics of this venture, which is already documented through a participation term sheet.
****
DAISY WINTERS WILL EASILY MAKE $2.5M+ FROM POST-THEATRICAL REVENUE SOURCES SUCH AS DVDS, BLUE RAYS, TV AND VOD (NETFLIX, VODWIZ, ETC). AS EVERYONE KNOWS, A THEATRICAL RELEASE SIMPLY SATISFIES REQUIREMENTS AND GREATLY AMPLIFIES LIFETIME REVENUES OF A TITLE.
"BATTLECREEK" PROVED THAT POST-THEATRICAL PROCEEDS ARE WHAT MATTER. THEATRICAL RELEASE OF SMALL INDIE MOVIES ARE JUST PRE-REQUISITES FOR MUCH LARGER PROFITS FROM DVD, BLUE RAY, VOD AND TV REVENUES. JUST LOOK AT THE RATIO OF BATTLECREEK PROCEEDS FROM BOX OFFICE VS. $1M+ PROCEEDS FROM POST-THEATRICAL REVENUES.
BUT EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW THIS, SINCE IT WAS CLEARLY EXPLAINED IN THE BLOGS AND PROVEN IN THE MARKETPLACE MANY TIMES.
http://hannoverhousemovies.blogspot.com/2017/11/battlecreek-theatrical-launch-meeting.html
How major? Well - based on video preorders already received from Walmart, Target, Best Buy, K-Mart and Family Video - BATTLECREEK will be the largest new release video shipment since 20th Century Fox Home Video shipped over 250,000 units of "TWELVE" for HHSE back in January, 2011. Because of what happened THIS WEEKEND with BATTLECREEK in theatres, HHSE will have our biggest December ever.
"BATTLECREEK" IS ALREADY A $1MILLION+ HHSE MOVIE, AND THE REVENUES ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. SECOND LARGEST SHIPMENT EVER FOR HHSE.
http://hannoverhousemovies.blogspot.com/2017/11/battlecreek-theatrical-launch-meeting.html
HHSE - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture.
The SONY relationship includes the opportunity to place Hannover House represented titles into their network of direct distribution divisions in all major territories worldwide.

Hannover House Pacts with Entertainment Factory for Release of Epic Horror Feature, DEATH HOUSE
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 29, 2017 / Indie distributor Hannover House, Inc., (OTC PINK: HHSE) and theatrical subsidiary Medallion Releasing, Inc. have entered into an agreement with South Florida-based Entertainment Factory for a national theatrical release of ''DEATH HOUSE'' from writer-director B. Harrison Smith. The horror-thriller features an all-star cast of genre' superstars and will open on approximately one-hundred theatres in top USA markets beginning February 23, 2018.
''DEATH HOUSE'' takes place in a secret, maximum security prison populated by a horrific crew of extremely dangerous inmates. When an unexpected power outage sets the prisoners free, a group of visiting VIPs must scramble for their lives. The film was co-written by the legendary Gunnar Hansen, of ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre Fame,'' and was produced by Rick Finkelstein (''Area 407'', ''Garlic and Gunpowder'') and Steven Chase (''Garlic and Gunpowder''). Principal cast members include Kane Hodder (''Monster'', ''2001 Maniacs''), Dee Wallace (''E.T.''), Adrienne Barbeau (''Swamp Thing''), Sid Haig (''Devil's Rejects''), Michael Berryman (''The Hills Have Eyes''), Tony Todd (''Candyman'') and Lindsay Hartley (''Smallville'').
Other notable cast members include Barbara Crampton, Bill Mosley, Lloyd Kaufman, R.A. Mihailoff, Vincent Ward, Richard Speight, Jr., Beverly Randolf, Debbie Rachon and Felissa Rose.
Red-carpet theatrical events will be open to the public and will occur in both Los Angeles (Thursday, Feb. 22) and New York City (Friday, Feb. 23), with many cast members and principal production team present. Theatrical exhibitors will include Regal Entertainment Group, Cinemark / Century Group, Malco Theatres, Harkins, Marcus, B&B and Megaplex Theatres.
''We share the horror-industry's enthusiasm for the release of this film,'' said Hannover House C.E.O. Eric Parkinson. ''The concept of a film featuring the all-star cast of stars from some of the biggest horror-hits in recent decades is brilliant, and Harrison, Rick, Steven and the entire production team have delivered a truly enjoyable result. We believe that audiences will love this film, as has already been indicated through word-of-mouth and pre-screenings.''
The initial theatrical release from Hannover House is expected to reach approximately one-hundred theatres in most of the top 40 largest DMA markets in the country. The home video release and video-on-demand release are planned for June through a distribution pact with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

The Superbowl of HHSE Blog Updates!
Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - As many of you plan to watch the Superbowl today, we will do our best to keep this post concise. But it won't be easy: there are so many positive activities in motion! So without further delay, here's the CLIFF NOTES abbreviated summary:
1). UPLIST REGISTRATION - The dissolution with Crimson Forest will be completed this week, with a formal termination document that has been mutually approved, and a series of short-form terminations for the individual title agreements (as some had different licensors than Crimson Forest Entertainment Group, Inc.). This will also trigger the long-requested removal of HHSE management names off the Nevada Secretary of State listing as corporate officers. Part of the overall settlement with CRIM involves the reversion of rights in "Where's the Dragon" back to the original licensors... which is why this item has not appeared on any of the HHSE release schedules for the past four months. With the Crimson merger obstacle removed, the next steps for our uplist are as follows:
a). PRE-AUDIT - Completion of formatting and overview by outside CPA - covering 2015 Tax Returns, and the full years of 2016 and 2017. This step is expected to be completed this week, with the results handed over (along with the remainder of the audit materials) to our PCAOB firm.
b). UPDATED LIBRARY REPORT - This step is expected to be completed by Feb. 26, and provided to the auditors as the last item for full delivery.
c). REDRAFTED FORM 10 REGISTRATION - This is already completed, awaiting review by outside S.E.C. counsel, and the auditor's letters.
d). TIMING - Once filed with the S.E.C., the registration becomes effective on the earlier of 60 days, or S.E.C. approval. This will trigger our uplist to OTC: QB and the activation of stock share transfers electronically through the DTC. Management believes that being fully registered, and uplisted away from the Pinksheets, will spark a wave of new investors and funds.
2). CURRENT RELEASE ACTIVITIES - So much to report, but here are the highlights:
a). BATTLECREEK hits most major retailers this TUESDAY (Feb. 6) - and is already the company's largest new release "shipped" item in five years. Based on current pre-orders with Amazon.com, which are STRONG (actually 10-X stronger than last year's top video, "Lost in the Pacific"), we are hopeful that this consumer interest will also apply to Walmart, K-Mart, Target, Best Buy and other locations. Check out this film, it's worth the modest purchase price!
https://www.amazon.com/Battlecreek-Bill-Skarsg%C3%A5rd/dp/B077Y6CLXJ/ref=sr_1_1_twi_dvd_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1517787440&sr=1-1&keywords=battlecreek
b). BLOODFEAST - A limited release of "R" rated DVDs and BluRays will also hit selected retailers on Tuesday... but the BIG GUNS will be blasting with our "SPECIAL, UNRATED AND UNEDITED DIRECTOR'S CUT" - which is rolling out "only in theatres" on a city by city basis. Management believes that the hard-core Horror fans will support this Unrated version, and thus far, the response from the specialty media supports this belief.
https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Feast-Robert-Rusler/dp/B077YPK5KM/ref=sr_1_sc_8?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1517787521&sr=1-8-spell&keywords=bloodfeast
c). DEATH HOUSE - opens in theatres Feb. 23 - this deserves an entire mega blog to itself. For now, we'll include the new trailer link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op3-zafK_0U
d). GETTING GRACE - opens in theatres March 23, and is already proving to be the company's top theatrical title, probably of all time (several "sneak peek" screenings have already occurred and SOLD OUT, with literally thousands of tickets cumulatively already sold!). This title deserves two or three mega-blogs. But for now, we'll include just a few images and a link or two.
Trailer # 1 (long version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9EGeSSUCYI
"When Audiences Get Grace" (short film after one of many sold-out sneak peek events):
https://vimeo.com/247897969
EVENT BRITE - Notification of THREE MORE sold out shows, after only 3-days of tickets going on sale!
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/getting-grace-lehigh-valley-charity-premiere-tickets-42617096884
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/getting-grace-lehigh-valley-charity-premiere-tickets-42617096884#tickets
Oh... and did we forget to mention the 26-city BUS TOUR prior to the theatrical opening? Or the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) promotion in Nashville? Or the first-time-ever that the Children's Miracle Network has cross-promoted a theatrical release film? There's so much more to the Getting Grace release campaign, that other blog(s) would be required!
e). QUIETUS - Retail support for this Feb. 27 long-anticipated re-release (and HHSE's first release of this item in Quality Trade Cover format), continues to build. Shown below is the FULL PAGE ad for the Feb. 12 issue of PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, the trade industry guide reaching 68,000 book industry professionals and book stores each week. Also below is the Amazon.com product link...
Many top reviewers have described QUIETUS as a literary masterpiece... so get a copy and find out for yourself why major retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and Hudson Group are presenting this book - first released in 2002 - back on the New Release shelves!
https://www.amazon.com/Quietus-Vivian-Schilling/dp/1640080449/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517785698&sr=8-1&keywords=Vivian+Schilling
3). SONY PICTURES HOME ENT. & DISTRIBUTION STRATEGIES - HHSE has been working for over a year now with industry veteran ERIC DOCTOROW, who is best known for his 20+ years as President of Paramount Home Entertainment (a $-Billion+ Division), and more recently as C.E.O. of Random Media. Many current and upcoming HHSE titles will enjoy the distribution support through SONY as well as Video-On-Demand with The Orchard, and for selected titles, worldwide distribution with Sony Pictures International. HHSE / Medallion are maintaining the existing distribution pacts with other wholesalers - most notably Cinedigm. But for eligible and qualifying titles, the distribution access into Sony's powerhouse field sales force and distribution pipeline is something of a material development for HHSE. This move enables HHSE Management to focus on productions, acquisitions and theatrical release activities - and turn over the distraction and difficulties of home video distribution (as well as the cash-flow drain of video manufacturing and freight) to be handled under more beneficial terms.
The initial titles that will benefit under this new distribution pact are: DAISY WINTERS, THE ALGERIAN and BONOBOS: BACK TO THE WILD. There are other notable developments in motion with BONOBOS that will merit a separate blog or press announcement. But for now, here's a link to a behind-the-scenes look at the production of this film, and the woman behind the Lola Ya Bonobo Sanctuary in Africa:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6GxlA-pKwI
Some HHSE longs will recognize that both ALGERIAN and BONOBOS were summer, 2015 theatrical releases for Hannover House. These items were held-back from Home Video release initially due to the prior merger with Crimson, but more recently due to the expectation of greater sales upside that may be obtainable through the Sony sales network.
4). VODWIZ - There's so many exciting developments and updates for us to cover on this venture - that even a Cliff Notes summary at this time cannot do it justice. Stay tuned for separate news on this topic!
Who Will Win the SUPERBOWL Today? Hard to predict... but it's not hard to predict that HHSE has reached a significant turning point in the company's history!

Yowsa! Mega-Success of "IT" video release spurs THOUSANDS of new orders for HHSE's BATTLECREEK!
Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - This Tuesday was the Video release date for the blockbuster theatrical hit "IT" - starring Bill Skarsgård as the super-scary clown. Consumer response for "IT" has been so substantial that Hannover House has already received new orders for multiple thousands-of-units of "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6), also starring Bill Skarsgård! The momentum might get even stronger with the February launch of Bill's new TV series, "CASTLE ROCK" from J.J. Abrams, Stephen King and HULU. With "BATTLECREEK" right in the middle of a media-feeding-frenzy for Bill Skarsgård - this title looks to be positioned as a very successful video release for Hannover House!

HHSE Engages Counsel to Dispute Fraudulently Obtained Judgments, and other updates
Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - As a component of our move to clean-up our balance sheet and shed the company of frivolous lawsuits and erroneous debts, HHSE has engaged the Law Firm of Steven H. Kay Associates in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Mr. Kay will be filing motions to initially "freeze" collection efforts by BEDROCK VENTURES and JSJ INVESTMENTS - based on the fraudulent nature of the underlying claims and the "foreign judgment" status that can be contested and adjudicated under Arkansas Law for foreign default judgments (i.e., defaults obtained in states other than Arkansas). HHSE Shareholders may recall that we pursued this same strategy with TCA Global Master Fund - a company that is often considered to be the nuclear bomb of Predatory Lenders - and HHSE prevailed under Arkansas Law.
HHSE Shareholders might also recall that Steven H. Kay was counsel for HHSE recently in the case against Amityville Asylum producers filing a frivolous claim for "projected" amounts due. It was HHSE position that the producers were only due the amounts per the terms of the contract... not a projected amount that the producer "felt" the movie "might have earned." The claim for more than $300,000 by Amityville was reduced to the actual balance of $17,000 and change, which was the outcome that HHSE successfully sought to obtain.
HHSE Shareholders may also recall that "stock short-sellers" were crying "sky is falling, the end is near" with the Amityville lawsuit filing, in hopes of persuading emotional sellers to dump HHSE stock last summer. Again, we remind all shareholders to refer to HHSE filings and this blog for legally accurate information and full disclosures, as opposed to paying any attention to the drunken mumblings of anonymous chat-board short-sellers. These naysayers know that their days of having any impact against HHSE are short-numbered, as our Form 10 registration will elevate the access of the company's stock to a much wider base of investors - thus minimizing the impact of self-serving, chat-board chatter.
Regarding BEDROCK, due to breached commitments for funding the company that were the basis of a massive stock issuance by HHSE to Bedrock, HHSE counsel feels that this California judgment filing has a solid basis to be contested, adjudicated and won in Arkansas Courts.
Regarding JSJ INVESTMENTS, the refusal of JSJ to accept cash plus interest in full (per the terms of the note), but instead to sue for more than three-times the amount on the pretense that "they were always entitled to shares, not 'just' repayment" renders the note usurious and illegal under the laws of virtually every state. Counsel, therefore, feels that a motion to freeze collection efforts and to re-open the claim so that it can be adjudicated, is a likely result for HHSE.
In other corporate governance matters, the company has renewed it's various corporate filings with the Secretary of State offices in Wyoming and Arkansas (an annual house-keeping matter of a simple filing). The company has also received confirmation from the IRS that the full payroll tax liabilities that were the subject of a prior lien have been fully paid, and that a reconciliation of the revised amount of interest and penalties (also paid) shall be issued shortly and submitted to all HHSE customers receiving levy letters. HHSE has since engaged a payroll service to handle the monthly 941 and tax paperwork filing requirements.
All of these steps are elements of the Form 10 Registration that the company is planning to file in the upcoming weeks... and to set off 2018 as an epic year for our loyal and fully informed shareholders!
Onward....

Update on corporate filings
Happy New Year to HHSE Friends & Followers. Here's a couple of quick updates on corporate filings.
1). Q3 filings will be submitted to the OTC Markets tomorrow - this should restore the company's "current" status. UPDATE: THURS., JAN. 4 - The annual HHSE subscription to the OTC Markets had expired and had to be renewed (which occurred on Tuesday); However, OTC MARKETS client services told HHSE this morning that the company's access to post reports (currently Q3), will be activated within the next day or two.
2). Q4 filings will be completed by Monday and provided (along with full 2017 results) to the outside CPA firm conducting the Pre-audit review.
3). Upon completion of the Pre-audit review, HHSE will submit the full 2016 and 2017 packages to our auditors in preparation for the stock registration filing.
4). Annual corporate governance filings (with applicable Secretary of State and Registered Agents) will also occur this week.
Watch for press news on new releases and distribution updates this week and next week. Very exciting times....

Where we have been... Where we are now... and Where we are going at HHSE...
Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers:
As we reflect back on 2017, HHSE Management is taking a few days to look at our past, present and future activities to help guide sage decisions. 2017 has been a momentous year for the company - due in large part to the attempted (but terminated) merger with Crimson Forest, and the subsequent re-focus of the company's primary activities and revenue streams.
Looking much further back - five, six, seven years and more - and looking forward in time for an equal time-frame, we can see trends and opportunities for HHSE and our shareholders.
First of all, we'd like to point out that Hannover House is unlike most any other "OTC Pinksheet" listed company. We have been operating continuously since 1993 (24-years) and have been reporting to the OTC Markets since Dec. 2009 (8-years). Statistically, most OTC listed equities are flashes-in-the-pan time wise... lots of Stock Hype / I.R. Promotions, insider share dumps, and quick closures. That's definitely not HHSE.
As a result of this general trend for Pinksheet companies, a whole sub-industry of stock manipulators has developed that can impact OTC-Pinksheet listed companies (for the entirety of OTC markets in general, not specifically limited to Hannover House). Like a gang of drunken hobos in public park - mumbling to each other with insane prognostications - the stock hobos are only effective against low-information shareholders gullible enough to actually read the chat-board postings of manipulative and fact-free ramblings.
Fortunately, every false statement made by the stock hobos or those manipulators attempting to "box" or otherwise control the HHSE stock price, can be easily countered with demonstrable facts.
So, let's take a few minutes to take a high-altitude look at the Company and where we are going.
WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR GROWTH IN 2018 AND BEYOND?
* We believe that HHSE is "one film away" from being a major independent studio. All it takes is any one of the many titles in our current release queue to become a surprise box officer performer such as "Lady Bird" or "Get Out" and we are suddenly a $100-MM company.
* We have an impressive slate of titles for 2018 and 2019 - and two terrific distribution partners for North America (Cinedigm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - as well as our direct relationships with all of the major theatre exhibition chains. Our "lower-end" titles are much higher profile than in past years... and our higher-end titles are now genuine theatrical caliber contenders. We are positioned for the proverbial lucky break that happens when the right film is released at the right time...
* Our recently re-focused Theatrical Release model is delivering huge benefits to our ancillary revenues... and our new partnerships with indie labels is providing access for the VODWIZ streaming venture, which truly could become "the tail that wagged the dog" for HHSE shareholders.
What else is worth noting for this long, holiday weekend? Here are a few observations:
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years. See the chart below. For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space. JSJ, for instance, refused to accept repayment from HHSE via a bank wire transfer (including all applicable, legal interest per the note), preferring instead to file a lawsuit (in Texas?!), in order to try to force repayment via shares at 200% or more interest. These predatory lenders generally prey on companies that are unable to defend themselves, and therefore are forced to allow the lenders to squeeze out profits far in excess of lending laws through toxic-conversions; most of the time, these small borrowers are ultimately forced out of business. However, this was not the case with Hannover House - as the company has a operating business that is unaffected by fluctuations of our stock price and not dependent on the issuance of shares for capital. These toxic dilutions from 2013 and 2014 definitely hurt our shareholders, and hurt our "market cap," as demonstrated in the charts. So, the Board voted to cease such forms of borrowing, and as a result, HHSE has not issued any new shares in 2.5-years. Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
2). It Doesn't Take Much to Double or Triple the HHSE Share Price - Look at the market-cap spike for HHSE stock earlier this year (seen as June, 2017). This increase in PPS was due to shareholder excitement about the prospect that a merger with Crimson Forest would provide HHSE with high-profile films to distribute. The growth in PPS was not based on any increase in revenues (in fact, the time-distraction of the Crimson merger caused many 2017 releases to be delayed). The PPS spike was driven solely by enthusiasm.
3). Does HHSE Need a Merger Partner? - If the right opportunity came along that would provide HHSE with a reliable source of high-end theatrical titles, we would be responsive to consider such opportunities. However, the programing philosphy ultimately revealed by Crimson Forest did not conform to North American market conditions, in HHSE's opinion. When the promised operating funding didn't materialize, the promised high-end productions turned into low-end films, and the promised "big" releases all turned out to be Mandarin-language releases, we knew that the partnership would not deliver what HHSE wanted for our step-up to major independent status.
4). What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initial theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres. In April, three titles will be released via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (including "DAISY WINTERS"); in May, HHSE will release "THE RIOT ACT" to theatres and Cinedigm will release DVD's and BluRays of "THE LENNON PROJECT" for the Company. Other titles in queue for theatrical and / or home video during the first half of 2018 include "MUSE", "INSOMNIUM", "IDENTITY CRISIS", "SLEEPER CELL", "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" and "SACRED HEARTS" (all but the last title were planned for 2017, but delayed during the Crimson merger pursuit).
b). Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger. We feel that a registration of the shares and the subsequent uplist to OTC:QB will attract more investors and some institutional funds... resulting in a higher anticipated daily trading volume, and a predicted much higher HHSE stock price (based on business results, industry fundamentals and the proven power of Shareholder Enthusiasm).
c). New Ventures - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture. As will be seen in our 2017 filings, theatrical release activities are the engine that is now driving HHSE revenues in all other arenas. Theatrical titles get more shelf space and priority placement when released to home video; theatrical titles get larger license fees from Netflix and Television licensors; and theatrical titles provide two direct revenue streams for HHSE in the form of both servicing fees and revenue participations. The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.
5). Thoughts on the HHSE Stock Chart - The chart below is divided into two sections. The top section shows the "approximate market cap" at six-month intervals beginning in June 2010 and continuing through to this week. The Market Cap was calculated by the total of all shares in issue, multiplied by the closing price of the stock during a one-week period during the stated month. The bottom section of the chart shows the total SHARES IN ISSUE for the company during this same time frame. The dark-blue shares represent those that are "restricted" from sale, and the light-blue shares represent the total share count of restricted plus unrestricted shares for that time period.
Perhaps the most visible trends to see on this chart are that the company did very little in share issuances for the first two years... and none for the past 2.5-years - as seen by the flat-line of total shares in issue.
The next interesting item of note is the tremendous PPS Spike that occurred earlier this year, at which time the Market Cap jumped from $5.4-MM to $24-MM in just a few month's time. What's interesting about this result is that the company was functionally frozen from new releases during that time, so the sudden shareholder enthusiasm cannot be attributed to improved revenues... it can only be viewed as a reaction to the prospective merger with Crimson. The current Market Cap of $12.4-MM has been stable for quite a few months now.
A third observation can be seen during the "heavy dilution" time-frames of 2013 to the end of 2015, when TCA (via MAGNA) and JSJ were flooding the market with toxic-conversion shares. What is interesting about this? Well, the market cap stayed surprisingly stable during this dilution... meaning that the average PPS went DOWN while the total float went UP, but the overall Market Cap remained steady. HHSE Management believes that the Market Cap remained relatively steady during these dilution times due to Investor Relations / Stock Promotions. As the toxic-lenders dumped their HHSE shares onto the market, some effort was being expended (by them or third parties) to create an investor market for their share dumps... which is another reason why HHSE management hates the concept of these toxic-conversion notes. It also answers the question that some shareholders have posted to HHSE management over the past few years about "why aren't you doing IR / Stock PR now?" The answer is that we are are focused on building the fundamentals of the business rather than on creating a momentary spike in PPS interest while some third party lender dumps out shares. We are not philosophically opposed to I.R. and new investor outreach. We just feel that the cost of such promotions would be best utilized after our Registration and other major events in the works.
There are more thoughts and developments to share... watch this blog over the holidays, and watch for news releases occuring between Christmas and New Years, as well as during the first week of January. Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas / Happy New Year and Best Wishes to all our HHSE shareholders!

They are factual, though for brevity, no links included, though many long term shareholders can both verify and provide Due Diligence.
* HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson and President Don Shefte together owned the HHSE Films & Television Library later valued at $24,276,709. Yet, the officers in exchange for some HHSE shares, transferred the Library to HHSE Treasury (Balance Sheet) to benefit all HHSE shareholders.

Where we have been... Where we are now... and Where we are going at HHSE...
WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR GROWTH IN 2018 AND BEYOND?
* We believe that HHSE is "one film away" from being a major independent studio. All it takes is any one of the many titles in our current release queue to become a surprise box officer performer such as "Lady Bird" or "Get Out" and we are suddenly a $100-MM company.
* We have an impressive slate of titles for 2018 and 2019 - and two terrific distribution partners for North America (Cinedigm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - as well as our direct relationships with all of the major theatre exhibition chains. Our "lower-end" titles are much higher profile than in past years... and our higher-end titles are now genuine theatrical caliber contenders. We are positioned for the proverbial lucky break that happens when the right film is released at the right time...
* Our recently re-focused Theatrical Release model is delivering huge benefits to our ancillary revenues... and our new partnerships with indie labels is providing access for the VODWIZ streaming venture, which truly could become "the tail that wagged the dog" for HHSE shareholders.
What else is worth noting for this long, holiday weekend? Here are a few observations:
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years.For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space. JSJ, for instance, refused to accept repayment from HHSE via a bank wire transfer (including all applicable, legal interest per the note), preferring instead to file a lawsuit (in Texas?!), in order to try to force repayment via shares at 200% or more interest. These predatory lenders generally prey on companies that are unable to defend themselves, and therefore are forced to allow the lenders to squeeze out profits far in excess of lending laws through toxic-conversions; most of the time, these small borrowers are ultimately forced out of business. However, this was not the case with Hannover House - as the company has a operating business that is unaffected by fluctuations of our stock price and not dependent on the issuance of shares for capital. These toxic dilutions from 2013 and 2014 definitely hurt our shareholders, and hurt our "market cap," as demonstrated in the charts. So, the Board voted to cease such forms of borrowing, and as a result, HHSE has not issued any new shares in 2.5-years. Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
2). It Doesn't Take Much to Double or Triple the HHSE Share Price - Look at the market-cap spike for HHSE stock earlier this year (seen as June, 2017). This increase in PPS was due to shareholder excitement about the prospect that a merger with Crimson Forest would provide HHSE with high-profile films to distribute. The growth in PPS was not based on any increase in revenues (in fact, the time-distraction of the Crimson merger caused many 2017 releases to be delayed). The PPS spike was driven solely by enthusiasm.
3). Does HHSE Need a Merger Partner? - If the right opportunity came along that would provide HHSE with a reliable source of high-end theatrical titles, we would be responsive to consider such opportunities. However, the programing philosphy ultimately revealed by Crimson Forest did not conform to North American market conditions, in HHSE's opinion. When the promised operating funding didn't materialize, the promised high-end productions turned into low-end films, and the promised "big" releases all turned out to be Mandarin-language releases, we knew that the partnership would not deliver what HHSE wanted for our step-up to major independent status.
4). What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initla theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres. In April, three titles will be released via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (including "DAISY WINTERS" ; in May, HHSE will release "THE RIOT ACT" to theatres and Cinedigm will release DVD's and BluRays of "THE LENNON PROJECT" for the Company. Other titles in queue for theatrical and / or home video during the first half of 2018 include "MUSE", "INSOMNIUM", "IDENTITY CRISIS", "SLEEPER CELL", "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" and "SACRED HEARTS" (all but the last title were planned for 2017, but delayed during the Crimson merger pursuit).
b). Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger.

The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.
5). Thoughts on the HHSE Stock Chart: (abbreviated) The company did very little in share issuances for the first two years... and none for the past 2.5-years - as seen by the flat-line of total shares in issue.
The next interesting item of note is the tremendous PPS Spike that occurred earlier this year, at which time the Market Cap jumped from $5.4-MM to $24-MM in just a few month's time. What's interesting about this result is that the company was functionally frozen from new releases during that time, so the sudden shareholder enthusiasm cannot be attributed to improved revenues... it can only be viewed as a reaction to the prospective merger with Crimson. The current Market Cap of $12.4-MM has been stable for quite a few months now.
A third observation can be seen during the "heavy dilution" time-frames of 2013 to the end of 2015, when TCA (via MAGNA) and JSJ were flooding the market with toxic-conversion shares. What is interesting about this? Well, the market cap stayed surprisingly stable during this dilution... meaning that the average PPS went DOWN while the total float went UP, but the overall Market Cap remained steady. HHSE Management believes that the Market Cap remained relatively steady during these dilution times due to Investor Relations / Stock Promotions. As the toxic-lenders dumped their HHSE shares onto the market, some effort was being expended (by them or third parties) to create an investor market for their share dumps... which is another reason why HHSE management hates the concept of these toxic-conversion notes. It also answers the question that some shareholders have posted to HHSE management over the past few years about "why aren't you doing IR / Stock PR now?" The answer is that we are are focused on building the fundamentals of the business rather than on creating a momentary spike in PPS interest while some third party lender dumps out shares. We are not philosophically opposed to I.R. and new investor outreach. We just feel that the cost of such promotions would be best utilized after our Registration and other major events in the works.

* Our recently re-focused Theatrical Release model is delivering huge benefits to our ancillary revenues... and our new partnerships with indie labels is providing access for the VODWIZ streaming venture, which truly could become "the tail that wagged the dog" for HHSE shareholders.
What else is worth noting for this long, holiday weekend? Here are a few observations:
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years.For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space. JSJ, for instance, refused to accept repayment from HHSE via a bank wire transfer (including all applicable, legal interest per the note), preferring instead to file a lawsuit (in Texas?!), in order to try to force repayment via shares at 200% or more interest. These predatory lenders generally prey on companies that are unable to defend themselves, and therefore are forced to allow the lenders to squeeze out profits far in excess of lending laws through toxic-conversions; most of the time, these small borrowers are ultimately forced out of business. However, this was not the case with Hannover House - as the company has a operating business that is unaffected by fluctuations of our stock price and not dependent on the issuance of shares for capital. These toxic dilutions from 2013 and 2014 definitely hurt our shareholders, and hurt our "market cap," as demonstrated in the charts. So, the Board voted to cease such forms of borrowing, and as a result, HHSE has not issued any new shares in 2.5-years. Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
2). It Doesn't Take Much to Double or Triple the HHSE Share Price - Look at the market-cap spike for HHSE stock earlier this year (seen as June, 2017). This increase in PPS was due to shareholder excitement about the prospect that a merger with Crimson Forest would provide HHSE with high-profile films to distribute. The growth in PPS was not based on any increase in revenues (in fact, the time-distraction of the Crimson merger caused many 2017 releases to be delayed). The PPS spike was driven solely by enthusiasm.
3). Does HHSE Need a Merger Partner? - If the right opportunity came along that would provide HHSE with a reliable source of high-end theatrical titles, we would be responsive to consider such opportunities. However, the programing philosphy ultimately revealed by Crimson Forest did not conform to North American market conditions, in HHSE's opinion. When the promised operating funding didn't materialize, the promised high-end productions turned into low-end films, and the promised "big" releases all turned out to be Mandarin-language releases, we knew that the partnership would not deliver what HHSE wanted for our step-up to major independent status.
4). What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initla theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres. In April, three titles will be released via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (including "DAISY WINTERS" ; in May, HHSE will release "THE RIOT ACT" to theatres and Cinedigm will release DVD's and BluRays of "THE LENNON PROJECT" for the Company. Other titles in queue for theatrical and / or home video during the first half of 2018 include "MUSE", "INSOMNIUM", "IDENTITY CRISIS", "SLEEPER CELL", "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" and "SACRED HEARTS" (all but the last title were planned for 2017, but delayed during the Crimson merger pursuit).
b). Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger. We feel that a registration of the shares and the subsequent uplist to OTC:QB will attract more investors and some institutional funds... resulting in a higher anticipated daily trading volume, and a predicted much higher HHSE stock price (based on business results, industry fundamentals and the proven power of Shareholder Enthusiasm).
c). New Ventures - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture. As will be seen in our 2017 filings, theatrical release activities are the engine that is now driving HHSE revenues in all other arenas. Theatrical titles get more shelf space and priority placement when released to home video; theatrical titles get larger license fees from Netflix and Television licensors; and theatrical titles provide two direct revenue streams for HHSE in the form of both servicing fees and revenue participations. The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.
5). Thoughts on the HHSE Stock Chart: (abbreviated) The company did very little in share issuances for the first two years... and none for the past 2.5-years - as seen by the flat-line of total shares in issue.
The next interesting item of note is the tremendous PPS Spike that occurred earlier this year, at which time the Market Cap jumped from $5.4-MM to $24-MM in just a few month's time. What's interesting about this result is that the company was functionally frozen from new releases during that time, so the sudden shareholder enthusiasm cannot be attributed to improved revenues... it can only be viewed as a reaction to the prospective merger with Crimson. The current Market Cap of $12.4-MM has been stable for quite a few months now.
A third observation can be seen during the "heavy dilution" time-frames of 2013 to the end of 2015, when TCA (via MAGNA) and JSJ were flooding the market with toxic-conversion shares. What is interesting about this? Well, the market cap stayed surprisingly stable during this dilution... meaning that the average PPS went DOWN while the total float went UP, but the overall Market Cap remained steady. HHSE Management believes that the Market Cap remained relatively steady during these dilution times due to Investor Relations / Stock Promotions. As the toxic-lenders dumped their HHSE shares onto the market, some effort was being expended (by them or third parties) to create an investor market for their share dumps... which is another reason why HHSE management hates the concept of these toxic-conversion notes. It also answers the question that some shareholders have posted to HHSE management over the past few years about "why aren't you doing IR / Stock PR now?" The answer is that we are are focused on building the fundamentals of the business rather than on creating a momentary spike in PPS interest while some third party lender dumps out shares. We are not philosophically opposed to I.R. and new investor outreach. We just feel that the cost of such promotions would be best utilized after our Registration and other major events in the works.
There are more thoughts and developments to share... watch this blog.

HHSE -- NO DILUTION in over 2.5 years!
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years. See the chart below. For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space.

Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
SONY PICTURES HOME ENT. & DISTRIBUTION STRATEGIES -
HHSE has been working for over a year now with industry veteran ERIC DOCTOROW, who is best known for his 20+ years as President of Paramount Home Entertainment (a $-Billion+ Division), and more recently as C.E.O. of Random Media. Many current and upcoming HHSE titles will enjoy the distribution support through SONY as well as Video-On-Demand with The Orchard, and for selected titles, worldwide distribution with Sony Pictures International. HHSE / Medallion are maintaining the existing distribution pacts with other wholesalers - most notably Cinedigm. But for eligible and qualifying titles, the distribution access into Sony's powerhouse field sales force and distribution pipeline is something of a material development for HHSE. This move enables HHSE Management to focus on productions, acquisitions and theatrical release activities - and turn over the distraction and difficulties of home video distribution (as well as the cash-flow drain of video manufacturing and freight) to be handled under more beneficial terms.
The initial titles that will benefit under this new distribution pact are: DAISY WINTERS, THE ALGERIAN and BONOBOS: BACK TO THE WILD. There are other notable developments in motion with BONOBOS that will merit a separate blog or press announcement. But for now, here's a link to a behind-the-scenes look at the production of this film, and the woman behind the Lola Ya Bonobo Sanctuary in Africa:
Some HHSE longs will recognize that both ALGERIAN and BONOBOS were summer, 2015 theatrical releases for Hannover House. These items were held-back from Home Video release initially due to the prior merger with Crimson, but more recently due to the expectation of greater sales upside that may be obtainable through the Sony sales network.
CURRENT RELEASE ACTIVITIES - So much to report, but here are the highlights:
a). BATTLECREEK - hits most major retailers this TUESDAY (Feb. 6) - and is already the company's largest new release "shipped" item in five years. Based on current pre-orders with Amazon.com, which are STRONG (actually 10-X stronger than last year's top video, "Lost in the Pacific"), we are hopeful that this consumer interest will also apply to Walmart, K-Mart, Target, Best Buy and other locations. Check out this film, it's worth the modest purchase price!

b). BLOODFEAST - A limited release of "R" rated DVDs and BluRays will also hit selected retailers on Tuesday... but the BIG GUNS will be blasting with our "SPECIAL, UNRATED AND UNEDITED DIRECTOR'S CUT" - which is rolling out "only in theatres" on a city by city basis. Management believes that the hard-core Horror fans will support this Unrated version, and thus far, the response from the specialty media supports this belief.

c). DEATH HOUSE - opens in theatres Feb. 23 - this deserves an entire mega blog to itself. For now, we'll include the new trailer.
d). GETTING GRACE - opens in theatres March 23, and is already proving to be the company's top theatrical title, probably of all time (several "sneak peek" screenings have already occurred and SOLD OUT, with literally thousands of tickets cumulatively already sold!). This title deserves two or three mega-blogs. But for now, we'll include just a few images and a link or two.
"When Audiences Get Grace" (short film after one of many sold-out sneak peek events):

Oh... and did we forget to mention the 26-city BUS TOUR prior to the theatrical opening? Or the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) promotion in Nashville? Or the first-time-ever that the Children's Miracle Network has cross-promoted a theatrical release film? There's so much more to the Getting Grace release campaign, that other blog(s) would be required!
e). QUIETUS - Retail support for this Feb. 27 long-anticipated re-release (and HHSE's first release of this item in Quality Trade Cover format), continues to build. Shown below is the FULL PAGE ad for the Feb. 12 issue of PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, the trade industry guide reaching 68,000 book industry professionals and book stores each week. Also below is the Amazon.com product link...
Many top reviewers have described QUIETUS as a literary masterpiece... so get a copy and find out for yourself why major retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and Hudson Group are presenting this book - first released in 2002 - back on the New Release shelves!

I Like The Superbowl of HHSE Blog Updates!
Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - As many of you plan to watch the Superbowl today, we will do our best to keep this post concise. But it won't be easy: there are so many positive activities in motion! So without further delay, here's the CLIFF NOTES abbreviated summary:
1). UPLIST REGISTRATION - The dissolution with Crimson Forest will be completed this week, with a formal termination document that has been mutually approved, and a series of short-form terminations for the individual title agreements (as some had different licensors than Crimson Forest Entertainment Group, Inc.). This will also trigger the long-requested removal of HHSE management names off the Nevada Secretary of State listing as corporate officers. Part of the overall settlement with CRIM involves the reversion of rights in "Where's the Dragon" back to the original licensors... which is why this item has not appeared on any of the HHSE release schedules for the past four months. With the Crimson merger obstacle removed, the next steps for our uplist are as follows:
a). PRE-AUDIT - Completion of formatting and overview by outside CPA - covering 2015 Tax Returns, and the full years of 2016 and 2017. This step is expected to be completed this week, with the results handed over (along with the remainder of the audit materials) to our PCAOB firm.
b). UPDATED LIBRARY REPORT - This step is expected to be completed by Feb. 26, and provided to the auditors as the last item for full delivery.
c). REDRAFTED FORM 10 REGISTRATION - This is already completed, awaiting review by outside S.E.C. counsel, and the auditor's letters.
d). TIMING - Once filed with the S.E.C., the registration becomes effective on the earlier of 60 days, or S.E.C. approval. This will trigger our uplist to OTC: QB and the activation of stock share transfers electronically through the DTC. Management believes that being fully registered, and uplisted away from the Pinksheets, will spark a wave of new investors and funds.
AMAZON.COM LINK FOR BATTLECREEK VIDEOS: https://www.amazon.com/Battlecreek-Blu-ray-Bill-Skarsg%C3%A5rd/dp/B077Y86FFP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516995564&sr=8-1&keywords=battlecreek+bill+skarsgard
(WOW! Amazon has it on their top 500 best-sellers list!)
Hannover House has already received new orders for multiple thousands-of-units of "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6), also starring Bill Skarsgård! The momentum might get even stronger with the February launch of Bill's new TV series, "CASTLE ROCK" from J.J. Abrams, Stephen King and HULU. With "BATTLECREEK" right in the middle of a media-feeding-frenzy for Bill Skarsgård - this title looks to be positioned as a very successful video release for Hannover House!
HHSE Board of Directors approves Uplisting / Registration Costs
Dear HHSE Friends, Followers & Shareholders: At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of Hannover House, Inc., held on Thursday, October 19 at 11:00-am, the Board voted unanimously to immediately reinstate the prior filing activities to register the company's stock shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10). The Board also authorized the following budgetary expenditures - to be funded from ongoing cash flows - to promptly complete this task:

Based on current cash flow and resources - and considering the anticipated benefits to the Company and its shareholders for HHSE as a fully registered equity - the Board has authorized the immediate implementation of this plan and the authorization of these expenditures.
The Board believes that Fully Registered Shares will be more attractive to HHSE program suppliers and investors - as well as to institutional investors and hedge funds - and that pursuing these activities now is a good use of ongoing cash flows.

PRODUCT$-PRODUCT$-PRODUCT$. GETTING.GRACE-WHERE'S.THE.DRAGON-BLOODFEAST-DAISY.WINTERS-BATTLECREEK & OTHERS
GETTING GRACE - Hot on the heels of a major NYC Market festival SWEEP of all major awards, HHSE will be releasing this Faith-Based Comedy-Drama nationwide on February 10, 2018 - with an outreach campaign that includes mega-churches and a key-market BUS TOUR with star and director DANIEL ROEBUCK ("Matlock", "The Fugitive") to drive local market enthusiasm.
WHERE'S THE DRAGON - With the dissolution of the merger between HHSE and Crimson Forest, the company is finally cleared to revert back to the terms of the Dec. 2016 distribution agreement for this title. Accordingly, on February 3, 2018, this enchanting Animated Feature will be released to theatres in key markets, in advance of a May, 2018 Home Video and V.O.D. launch.
DEATH HOUSE - A wild horror-comedy from the producer of "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" is building strong horror-market enthusiasm from conventions and specialty sites. Opens Jan. 19, 2018 in a yet-undetermined (but significant) number of theatres!
CHOSEN - this impressive World War II thriller continues to get theatrical bookings in key USA markets, and now into CANADA (Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver)... watch for playdates in December and January.
BLOODFEAST - Now that the MPAA has approved our fourth edit for "R-Rating Status" - we can FINALLY get mainstream theatres to book this picture... watch for a roll-out beginning Nov. 17 into top markets (staggered over a 2-month period).
DAISY WINTERS - a much broader release (over 100 theatres) is set for December 1st for this awards-worthy drama featuring stunning performances from Brooke Shields and a breakout performance from young Sterling Jerins in the title role. The Media support has already begun, fueled by the Hannover House MEDIA DAY in NYC on Sept. 26, plus a special event premiere at the Regal Union Square (NYC) on Oct. 5. Already, Brooke has appeared on several national talk shows promoting DAISY WINTERS, including Bravo's WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE and the highly rated TODAY SHOW on NBC. Much more to come, including major feature stories in People Magazine, USA Today, Closer, In-Touch, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, EXTRA and E! TV.
BATTLECREEK - the acclaimed dramatic thriller from director ALISON EASTWOOD opens in two weeks (Nov. 3), in approx. 20 locations in key USA Markets. The film's primary star is BILL SKARSGARD, well-known from his current smash hit "IT" (he plays Pennywise, the scary clown), and his upcoming Stephen King TV series, "Castlerock." We have been fortunate to receive major media support for BATTLECREEK, including National TV show placements on: ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, EXTRA, E! and ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, and Alison Eastwood interview appearances on FOX AND FRIENDS, THE VIEW, TALK, GOOD DAY NY and HOME AND FAMILY. There will be an "Eastwood Family Screening Event" in Los Angeles on opening night (Nov. 3), which will be open to the public (and is expected to generate good attendance).

BOGUS DEFAULT JUDGMENTS EVAPORATED: PHOTOG($2.2M),TCA($400K),REDBULL($250K),AMITYVILLE($300K).
THESE BOGUS DEFAULTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BK THE COMPANY. LMAO.
****
VODWIZ UPDATE - As anticipated, we have closed a major studio venture that will provide tonnage of product to VODWIZ, including a large quantity of recent, theatrical hits. The totality of programming that will be available to consumers through VODWIZ appears to be on track to being second only to Amazon at this point. We see VODWIZ as a major portal for home entertainment digital streaming access, and potentially "the tail that wags the dog" so to speak. Additionally, we are about a week away from the anticipated finalization of a private funding structure to finance the costs associated with building the VODWIZ website (to Amazon Digital infrastructure standards), and all other pre-launch and initial consumer launch costs for this venture.
MORE VODWIZ - there's another MAJOR STUDIO ALERT in the works! Over the past three years of development, two Major Studios (each offering a small "test quantity" of titles for VODWIZ), were secured to support the initial launch of this streaming operation. Now, we are poised for a very major development of a third Major Studio with over 500 high-profile, ready-to-place titles available for the VODWIZ streaming platform. HHSE key managers (Fred Shefte and Eric Parkinson) are meeting at the studio in southern California on Friday to discuss the logistics of this venture, which is already documented through a participation term sheet.
****
DAISY WINTERS WILL EASILY MAKE $2.5M+ FROM POST-THEATRICAL REVENUE SOURCES SUCH AS DVDS, BLUE RAYS, TV AND VOD (NETFLIX, VODWIZ, ETC). AS EVERYONE KNOWS, A THEATRICAL RELEASE SIMPLY SATISFIES REQUIREMENTS AND GREATLY AMPLIFIES LIFETIME REVENUES OF A TITLE.
"BATTLECREEK" PROVED THAT POST-THEATRICAL PROCEEDS ARE WHAT MATTER. THEATRICAL RELEASE OF SMALL INDIE MOVIES ARE JUST PRE-REQUISITES FOR MUCH LARGER PROFITS FROM DVD, BLUE RAY, VOD AND TV REVENUES. JUST LOOK AT THE RATIO OF BATTLECREEK PROCEEDS FROM BOX OFFICE VS. $1M+ PROCEEDS FROM POST-THEATRICAL REVENUES.
BUT EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW THIS, SINCE IT WAS CLEARLY EXPLAINED IN THE BLOGS AND PROVEN IN THE MARKETPLACE MANY TIMES.
http://hannoverhousemovies.blogspot.com/2017/11/battlecreek-theatrical-launch-meeting.html
How major? Well - based on video preorders already received from Walmart, Target, Best Buy, K-Mart and Family Video - BATTLECREEK will be the largest new release video shipment since 20th Century Fox Home Video shipped over 250,000 units of "TWELVE" for HHSE back in January, 2011. Because of what happened THIS WEEKEND with BATTLECREEK in theatres, HHSE will have our biggest December ever.
"BATTLECREEK" IS ALREADY A $1MILLION+ HHSE MOVIE, AND THE REVENUES ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. SECOND LARGEST SHIPMENT EVER FOR HHSE.

HHSE-Where we have been... Where we are now... and Where we are going at HHSE...
WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR GROWTH IN 2018 AND BEYOND?
* We believe that HHSE is "one film away" from being a major independent studio. All it takes is any one of the many titles in our current release queue to become a surprise box officer performer such as "Lady Bird" or "Get Out" and we are suddenly a $100-MM company.
* We have an impressive slate of titles for 2018 and 2019 - and two terrific distribution partners for North America (Cinedigm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - as well as our direct relationships with all of the major theatre exhibition chains. Our "lower-end" titles are much higher profile than in past years... and our higher-end titles are now genuine theatrical caliber contenders. We are positioned for the proverbial lucky break that happens when the right film is released at the right time...
* Our recently re-focused Theatrical Release model is delivering huge benefits to our ancillary revenues... and our new partnerships with indie labels is providing access for the VODWIZ streaming venture, which truly could become "the tail that wagged the dog" for HHSE shareholders.
What else is worth noting for this long, holiday weekend? Here are a few observations:
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years.For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space. JSJ, for instance, refused to accept repayment from HHSE via a bank wire transfer (including all applicable, legal interest per the note), preferring instead to file a lawsuit (in Texas?!), in order to try to force repayment via shares at 200% or more interest. These predatory lenders generally prey on companies that are unable to defend themselves, and therefore are forced to allow the lenders to squeeze out profits far in excess of lending laws through toxic-conversions; most of the time, these small borrowers are ultimately forced out of business. However, this was not the case with Hannover House - as the company has a operating business that is unaffected by fluctuations of our stock price and not dependent on the issuance of shares for capital. These toxic dilutions from 2013 and 2014 definitely hurt our shareholders, and hurt our "market cap," as demonstrated in the charts. So, the Board voted to cease such forms of borrowing, and as a result, HHSE has not issued any new shares in 2.5-years. Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
2). It Doesn't Take Much to Double or Triple the HHSE Share Price - Look at the market-cap spike for HHSE stock earlier this year (seen as June, 2017). This increase in PPS was due to shareholder excitement about the prospect that a merger with Crimson Forest would provide HHSE with high-profile films to distribute. The growth in PPS was not based on any increase in revenues (in fact, the time-distraction of the Crimson merger caused many 2017 releases to be delayed). The PPS spike was driven solely by enthusiasm.
3). Does HHSE Need a Merger Partner? - If the right opportunity came along that would provide HHSE with a reliable source of high-end theatrical titles, we would be responsive to consider such opportunities. However, the programing philosphy ultimately revealed by Crimson Forest did not conform to North American market conditions, in HHSE's opinion. When the promised operating funding didn't materialize, the promised high-end productions turned into low-end films, and the promised "big" releases all turned out to be Mandarin-language releases, we knew that the partnership would not deliver what HHSE wanted for our step-up to major independent status.
4). What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initla theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres. In April, three titles will be released via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (including "DAISY WINTERS" ; in May, HHSE will release "THE RIOT ACT" to theatres and Cinedigm will release DVD's and BluRays of "THE LENNON PROJECT" for the Company. Other titles in queue for theatrical and / or home video during the first half of 2018 include "MUSE", "INSOMNIUM", "IDENTITY CRISIS", "SLEEPER CELL", "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" and "SACRED HEARTS" (all but the last title were planned for 2017, but delayed during the Crimson merger pursuit).
b). Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger. We feel that a registration of the shares and the subsequent uplist to OTC:QB will attract more investors and some institutional funds... resulting in a higher anticipated daily trading volume, and a predicted much higher HHSE stock price (based on business results, industry fundamentals and the proven power of Shareholder Enthusiasm).
c). New Ventures - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture. As will be seen in our 2017 filings, theatrical release activities are the engine that is now driving HHSE revenues in all other arenas. Theatrical titles get more shelf space and priority placement when released to home video; theatrical titles get larger license fees from Netflix and Television licensors; and theatrical titles provide two direct revenue streams for HHSE in the form of both servicing fees and revenue participations. The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.
5). Thoughts on the HHSE Stock Chart: (abbreviated) The company did very little in share issuances for the first two years... and none for the past 2.5-years - as seen by the flat-line of total shares in issue.
The next interesting item of note is the tremendous PPS Spike that occurred earlier this year, at which time the Market Cap jumped from $5.4-MM to $24-MM in just a few month's time. What's interesting about this result is that the company was functionally frozen from new releases during that time, so the sudden shareholder enthusiasm cannot be attributed to improved revenues... it can only be viewed as a reaction to the prospective merger with Crimson. The current Market Cap of $12.4-MM has been stable for quite a few months now.
A third observation can be seen during the "heavy dilution" time-frames of 2013 to the end of 2015, when TCA (via MAGNA) and JSJ were flooding the market with toxic-conversion shares. What is interesting about this? Well, the market cap stayed surprisingly stable during this dilution... meaning that the average PPS went DOWN while the total float went UP, but the overall Market Cap remained steady. HHSE Management believes that the Market Cap remained relatively steady during these dilution times due to Investor Relations / Stock Promotions. As the toxic-lenders dumped their HHSE shares onto the market, some effort was being expended (by them or third parties) to create an investor market for their share dumps... which is another reason why HHSE management hates the concept of these toxic-conversion notes. It also answers the question that some shareholders have posted to HHSE management over the past few years about "why aren't you doing IR / Stock PR now?" The answer is that we are are focused on building the fundamentals of the business rather than on creating a momentary spike in PPS interest while some third party lender dumps out shares. We are not philosophically opposed to I.R. and new investor outreach. We just feel that the cost of such promotions would be best utilized after our Registration and other major events in the works.
There are more thoughts and developments to share... watch this blog over the holidays, and watch for news releases occuring between Christmas and New Years, as well as during the first week of January. Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas / Happy New Year and Best Wishes to all our HHSE shareholders!

BLUE_SKIES_COMING_FOR_HHSE_SHAREHOLDERS
HHSE What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initla theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres. In April, three titles will be released via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (including "DAISY WINTERS" ; in May, HHSE will release "THE RIOT ACT" to theatres and Cinedigm will release DVD's and BluRays of "THE LENNON PROJECT" for the Company. Other titles in queue for theatrical and / or home video during the first half of 2018 include "MUSE", "INSOMNIUM", "IDENTITY CRISIS", "SLEEPER CELL", "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" and "SACRED HEARTS" (all but the last title were planned for 2017, but delayed during the Crimson merger pursuit).
b). Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger. We feel that a registration of the shares and the subsequent uplist to OTC:QB will attract more investors and some institutional funds... resulting in a higher anticipated daily trading volume, and a predicted much higher HHSE stock price (based on business results, industry fundamentals and the proven power of Shareholder Enthusiasm).
c). New Ventures - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture. As will be seen in our 2017 filings, theatrical release activities are the engine that is now driving HHSE revenues in all other arenas. Theatrical titles get more shelf space and priority placement when released to home video; theatrical titles get larger license fees from Netflix and Television licensors; and theatrical titles provide two direct revenue streams for HHSE in the form of both servicing fees and revenue participations. The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.

HHSE
HHSE-Where we have been... Where we are now... and Where we are going at HHSE...
WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR GROWTH IN 2018 AND BEYOND?
* We believe that HHSE is "one film away" from being a major independent studio. All it takes is any one of the many titles in our current release queue to become a surprise box officer performer such as "Lady Bird" or "Get Out" and we are suddenly a $100-MM company.
* We have an impressive slate of titles for 2018 and 2019 - and two terrific distribution partners for North America (Cinedigm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - as well as our direct relationships with all of the major theatre exhibition chains. Our "lower-end" titles are much higher profile than in past years... and our higher-end titles are now genuine theatrical caliber contenders. We are positioned for the proverbial lucky break that happens when the right film is released at the right time...
* Our recently re-focused Theatrical Release model is delivering huge benefits to our ancillary revenues... and our new partnerships with indie labels is providing access for the VODWIZ streaming venture, which truly could become "the tail that wagged the dog" for HHSE shareholders.
What else is worth noting for this long, holiday weekend? Here are a few observations:
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years.For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space. JSJ, for instance, refused to accept repayment from HHSE via a bank wire transfer (including all applicable, legal interest per the note), preferring instead to file a lawsuit (in Texas?!), in order to try to force repayment via shares at 200% or more interest. These predatory lenders generally prey on companies that are unable to defend themselves, and therefore are forced to allow the lenders to squeeze out profits far in excess of lending laws through toxic-conversions; most of the time, these small borrowers are ultimately forced out of business. However, this was not the case with Hannover House - as the company has a operating business that is unaffected by fluctuations of our stock price and not dependent on the issuance of shares for capital. These toxic dilutions from 2013 and 2014 definitely hurt our shareholders, and hurt our "market cap," as demonstrated in the charts. So, the Board voted to cease such forms of borrowing, and as a result, HHSE has not issued any new shares in 2.5-years. Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
2). It Doesn't Take Much to Double or Triple the HHSE Share Price - Look at the market-cap spike for HHSE stock earlier this year (seen as June, 2017). This increase in PPS was due to shareholder excitement about the prospect that a merger with Crimson Forest would provide HHSE with high-profile films to distribute. The growth in PPS was not based on any increase in revenues (in fact, the time-distraction of the Crimson merger caused many 2017 releases to be delayed). The PPS spike was driven solely by enthusiasm.
3). Does HHSE Need a Merger Partner? - If the right opportunity came along that would provide HHSE with a reliable source of high-end theatrical titles, we would be responsive to consider such opportunities. However, the programing philosphy ultimately revealed by Crimson Forest did not conform to North American market conditions, in HHSE's opinion. When the promised operating funding didn't materialize, the promised high-end productions turned into low-end films, and the promised "big" releases all turned out to be Mandarin-language releases, we knew that the partnership would not deliver what HHSE wanted for our step-up to major independent status.
4). What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initla theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres.

HHSE -- NO DILUTION in over 2.5 years!
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years. See the chart below. For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances.

Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson Accomplishments (Integrity, Professional, Shareholder-Friendly)
When the HHSE CEO Biography was compiled, someone requested some accomplishments while at HHSE. Below, are several actions that demonstrate Mr. Parkinson dedication to being a Professional and Share Holder Friendly. This list is not all inclusive. They have occurred over the last 8 years. They are factual, though for brevity, no links included, though many long term shareholders can both verify and provide Due Diligence.
* HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson and President Don Shefte together owned the HHSE Films & Television Library later valued at $24,276,709. Yet, the officers in exchange for some HHSE shares, transferred the Library to HHSE Treasury (Balance Sheet) to benefit all HHSE shareholders.
* HHSE (TDGI at that time) inherited Authorized Shares 10,000,000,000. HHSE Management Voluntarily Reduced AS to 800,000,000. (10 Billion (not necessary) down to 800 Million).
*HHSE Management owns Preferred Stock which has no Monetary Value, Voting Rights Only.
* HHSE Management Voluntarily Surrendered into HHSE Treasury Substantial Amount Common Shares, Pending a Future Performance Review.
* HHSE Management Voluntarily Each Reduced Annual Salary from $180,000 down to $90,000.
* HHSE Management has received very little actual salary. Vast majority (about $750,000) of salaries are accrued and deferred.
* No Dilution in 2 1/2 Years. No Plans To Ever Again.
* HHSE public existence for 32 full Quarters, has 32 Consecutive Quarters of Revenue & Profits.
* New Distribution Partnerships (Sony, Cinedigm, Random Media).
* HHSE Films & Television Library Valuation currently being updated (should be $28,000,000+).
* Poised to Launch VODwiz - Online Independent Films Streaming Portal.
* Robust 2018, 2019 Theatricals & Original Productions & Home Video New Releases Pipeline.
* HHSE Management currently guiding HHSE to Audited Financials, Form 10 SEC Registration, Uplist to OTCQB.
uplist will proceed -
Although the Crimson merger will not occur the uplist will proceed, and the maturation of the company to "the next level" is already well underway. We are now partnered with a Major Studio for distribution; we're Executive Producers / Worldwide Distributors on two CURRENT productions; we have two major titles in theatrical release (Nov. 3 and Dec. 1) and four "genre'" titles for more limited release in the next few months (see below); we have more than doubled the title library for VODWIZ, and partnered with the world's leading digital services operator (Amazon); we have new release DVD and BluRays in the pipeline for February, March, April and May (collectively generating over $4-million in gross shipments), and we are in final documentation of major financing agreements to cover the epic productions of MOTHER GOOSE and MELTDOWN (each of which is trans formative in what they will do for HHSE's profile and revenues).

SURGE BLOCKCHAIN PARTNERS WITH OKLAHOMA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
FIRST BLOCKCHAIN COMPANY TO SIGN WITH GOVERNMENT ENTITY
Las Vegas, Jan. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Surge Holdings, Inc.; a company whose subsidiaries operate in various sectors including Blockchain Technology Software, Telecommunications, Social Media Marketing and Cryptocurrency Mining; announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Surge Blockchain, has signed an agreement to partner with the Oklahoma Municipal League (OML) in facilitating utility payments for up to 1.7 million households across the state. The Surge Blockchain software platform licensing technology will assist residents of Oklahoma in making more convenient and timely payments while increasing revenue assurance for Utility companies.
Surge CEO Brian Cox states: “Partnering with the OML will rapidly accelerate the expansion of our distribution and transaction network throughout the state of Oklahoma.” Cox continued, “This is huge too, because we are the first blockchain company to sign a deal with a government entity.”
Oklahoma has more than 1.7 million households within its more than 500 municipalities across the state. Due to the vast rural areas, many of those homes are not conveniently located near municipal offices to pay their utility bills. Most of these rural municipalities lack the ability to receive payments outside of regular office hours. Surge payment software will provide these utility customers a convenient method to pay their bills at local stores on the Surge network. In addition, it will allow municipal governments to foster economic growth in their communities by partnering with private sector businesses.
“We appreciate the endorsement of our software capabilities and impact on utility companies, local businesses and ultimately making life more convenient for many residents of Oklahoma. We will pursue the same model in other states.” added Cox.

HHSE -- NO DILUTION in over 2.5 years!
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years. See the chart below. For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space. JSJ, for instance, refused to accept repayment from HHSE via a bank wire transfer (including all applicable, legal interest per the note), preferring instead to file a lawsuit (in Texas?!), in order to try to force repayment via shares at 200% or more interest. These predatory lenders generally prey on companies that are unable to defend themselves, and therefore are forced to allow the lenders to squeeze out profits far in excess of lending laws through toxic-conversions; most of the time, these small borrowers are ultimately forced out of business. However, this was not the case with Hannover House - as the company has a operating business that is unaffected by fluctuations of our stock price and not dependent on the issuance of shares for capital. These toxic dilutions from 2013 and 2014 definitely hurt our shareholders, and hurt our "market cap," as demonstrated in the charts. So, the Board voted to cease such forms of borrowing, and as a result, HHSE has not issued any new shares in 2.5-years. Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
uplist will proceed - Although the Crimson merger will not occur the uplist will proceed, and the maturation of the company to "the next level" is already well underway. We are now partnered with a Major Studio for distribution; we're Executive Producers / Worldwide Distributors on two CURRENT productions; we have two major titles in theatrical release (Nov. 3 and Dec. 1) and four "genre'" titles for more limited release in the next few months (see below); we have more than doubled the title library for VODWIZ, and partnered with the world's leading digital services operator (Amazon); we have new release DVD and BluRays in the pipeline for February, March, April and May (collectively generating over $4-million in gross shipments), and we are in final documentation of major financing agreements to cover the epic productions of MOTHER GOOSE and MELTDOWN (each of which is trans formative in what they will do for HHSE's profile and revenues).

Wow. Maybe a trial run or some tweaking needed.
Hope they're not broke.
HHSE - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture.
The SONY relationship includes the opportunity to place Hannover House represented titles into their network of direct distribution divisions in all major territories worldwide.
Status HHSE Audits, Form 10, Uplist To OTCQB
HHSE Board of Directors approves Uplisting / Registration Costs
Dear HHSE Friends, Followers & Shareholders: At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of Hannover House, Inc., held on Thursday, October 19 at 11:00-am, the Board voted unanimously to immediately reinstate the prior filing activities to register the company's stock shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10). The Board also authorized the following budgetary expenditures - to be funded from ongoing cash flows - to promptly complete this task:
BOGUS DEFAULT JUDGMENTS EVAPORATED: PHOTOG($2.2M),TCA($400K),REDBULL($250K),AMITYVILLE($300K).
THESE BOGUS DEFAULTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BK THE COMPANY. LMAO.
HHSE What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initla theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres. In April, three titles will be released via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (including "DAISY WINTERS" ; in May, HHSE will release "THE RIOT ACT" to theatres and Cinedigm will release DVD's and BluRays of "THE LENNON PROJECT" for the Company. Other titles in queue for theatrical and / or home video during the first half of 2018 include "MUSE", "INSOMNIUM", "IDENTITY CRISIS", "SLEEPER CELL", "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" and "SACRED HEARTS" (all but the last title were planned for 2017, but delayed during the Crimson merger pursuit).
b). Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger. We feel that a registration of the shares and the subsequent uplist to OTC:QB will attract more investors and some institutional funds... resulting in a higher anticipated daily trading volume, and a predicted much higher HHSE stock price (based on business results, industry fundamentals and the proven power of Shareholder Enthusiasm).
c). New Ventures - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture. As will be seen in our 2017 filings, theatrical release activities are the engine that is now driving HHSE revenues in all other arenas. Theatrical titles get more shelf space and priority placement when released to home video; theatrical titles get larger license fees from Netflix and Television licensors; and theatrical titles provide two direct revenue streams for HHSE in the form of both servicing fees and revenue participations. The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.

Who's dumping?
I like for stocks to just keep going up up up.
Joke.
Thanks for the post spekulater. Great info.
HHSE-Where we have been... Where we are now... and Where we are going at HHSE...
WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR GROWTH IN 2018 AND BEYOND?
* We believe that HHSE is "one film away" from being a major independent studio. All it takes is any one of the many titles in our current release queue to become a surprise box officer performer such as "Lady Bird" or "Get Out" and we are suddenly a $100-MM company.
* We have an impressive slate of titles for 2018 and 2019 - and two terrific distribution partners for North America (Cinedigm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - as well as our direct relationships with all of the major theatre exhibition chains. Our "lower-end" titles are much higher profile than in past years... and our higher-end titles are now genuine theatrical caliber contenders. We are positioned for the proverbial lucky break that happens when the right film is released at the right time...
* Our recently re-focused Theatrical Release model is delivering huge benefits to our ancillary revenues... and our new partnerships with indie labels is providing access for the VODWIZ streaming venture, which truly could become "the tail that wagged the dog" for HHSE shareholders.
What else is worth noting for this long, holiday weekend? Here are a few observations:
1). Hannover House has Not Issued any Shares in 2.5-years.For the company's first two years as a public equity, the stock structure was quite stable. For the past 2-1/2 years, the stock structure has also been stable. But in 2013 and 2014, the company got involved in some ugly predatory lender situations, most notably TCA Global and JSJ, which precipitated a rapid growth in share issuances. The business model for both TCA and JSJ - as exercised against HHSE and many other borrowers - is to make repayment with cash as difficult as possible, in order to force a "conversion of the debt" into freely trading shares of the issueer at a dramatic discount-to-market. Such returns grossly exceed the legal usury law limitations in all states, and this general business practice is operating in a legally dubious space. JSJ, for instance, refused to accept repayment from HHSE via a bank wire transfer (including all applicable, legal interest per the note), preferring instead to file a lawsuit (in Texas?!), in order to try to force repayment via shares at 200% or more interest. These predatory lenders generally prey on companies that are unable to defend themselves, and therefore are forced to allow the lenders to squeeze out profits far in excess of lending laws through toxic-conversions; most of the time, these small borrowers are ultimately forced out of business. However, this was not the case with Hannover House - as the company has a operating business that is unaffected by fluctuations of our stock price and not dependent on the issuance of shares for capital. These toxic dilutions from 2013 and 2014 definitely hurt our shareholders, and hurt our "market cap," as demonstrated in the charts. So, the Board voted to cease such forms of borrowing, and as a result, HHSE has not issued any new shares in 2.5-years. Anyone predicting on a chat board or anywhere else that a "big dilution is coming" is mistaken.
2). It Doesn't Take Much to Double or Triple the HHSE Share Price - Look at the market-cap spike for HHSE stock earlier this year (seen as June, 2017). This increase in PPS was due to shareholder excitement about the prospect that a merger with Crimson Forest would provide HHSE with high-profile films to distribute. The growth in PPS was not based on any increase in revenues (in fact, the time-distraction of the Crimson merger caused many 2017 releases to be delayed). The PPS spike was driven solely by enthusiasm.
3). Does HHSE Need a Merger Partner? - If the right opportunity came along that would provide HHSE with a reliable source of high-end theatrical titles, we would be responsive to consider such opportunities. However, the programing philosphy ultimately revealed by Crimson Forest did not conform to North American market conditions, in HHSE's opinion. When the promised operating funding didn't materialize, the promised high-end productions turned into low-end films, and the promised "big" releases all turned out to be Mandarin-language releases, we knew that the partnership would not deliver what HHSE wanted for our step-up to major independent status.
4). What's in Store for the first half of 2018?
a). Release Activities: January will see the theatrical release of "BLOODFEAST" - delayed since July due to MPAA re-cut needs. February will see a massive placement of DVDs and BluRays for "BATTLECREEK" (street date Feb. 6). That same week, on Friday (Feb. 9), HHSE will commence the initla theatrical launch of "DEATH HOUSE" to theatres. In April, three titles will be released via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (including "DAISY WINTERS" ; in May, HHSE will release "THE RIOT ACT" to theatres and Cinedigm will release DVD's and BluRays of "THE LENNON PROJECT" for the Company. Other titles in queue for theatrical and / or home video during the first half of 2018 include "MUSE", "INSOMNIUM", "IDENTITY CRISIS", "SLEEPER CELL", "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" and "SACRED HEARTS" (all but the last title were planned for 2017, but delayed during the Crimson merger pursuit).
b). Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger. We feel that a registration of the shares and the subsequent uplist to OTC:QB will attract more investors and some institutional funds... resulting in a higher anticipated daily trading volume, and a predicted much higher HHSE stock price (based on business results, industry fundamentals and the proven power of Shareholder Enthusiasm).
c). New Ventures - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture. As will be seen in our 2017 filings, theatrical release activities are the engine that is now driving HHSE revenues in all other arenas. Theatrical titles get more shelf space and priority placement when released to home video; theatrical titles get larger license fees from Netflix and Television licensors; and theatrical titles provide two direct revenue streams for HHSE in the form of both servicing fees and revenue participations. The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.
5). Thoughts on the HHSE Stock Chart: (abbreviated) The company did very little in share issuances for the first two years... and none for the past 2.5-years - as seen by the flat-line of total shares in issue.
The next interesting item of note is the tremendous PPS Spike that occurred earlier this year, at which time the Market Cap jumped from $5.4-MM to $24-MM in just a few month's time. What's interesting about this result is that the company was functionally frozen from new releases during that time, so the sudden shareholder enthusiasm cannot be attributed to improved revenues... it can only be viewed as a reaction to the prospective merger with Crimson. The current Market Cap of $12.4-MM has been stable for quite a few months now.
A third observation can be seen during the "heavy dilution" time-frames of 2013 to the end of 2015, when TCA (via MAGNA) and JSJ were flooding the market with toxic-conversion shares. What is interesting about this? Well, the market cap stayed surprisingly stable during this dilution... meaning that the average PPS went DOWN while the total float went UP, but the overall Market Cap remained steady. HHSE Management believes that the Market Cap remained relatively steady during these dilution times due to Investor Relations / Stock Promotions. As the toxic-lenders dumped their HHSE shares onto the market, some effort was being expended (by them or third parties) to create an investor market for their share dumps... which is another reason why HHSE management hates the concept of these toxic-conversion notes. It also answers the question that some shareholders have posted to HHSE management over the past few years about "why aren't you doing IR / Stock PR now?" The answer is that we are are focused on building the fundamentals of the business rather than on creating a momentary spike in PPS interest while some third party lender dumps out shares. We are not philosophically opposed to I.R. and new investor outreach. We just feel that the cost of such promotions would be best utilized after our Registration and other major events in the works.
There are more thoughts and developments to share... watch this blog over the holidays, and watch for news releases occuring between Christmas and New Years, as well as during the first week of January. Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas / Happy New Year and Best Wishes to all our HHSE shareholders!
