I think there will be, at least, next year, if GNUS is able to start selling broadcast/DVD?VOD rights to season 1 of "Llama Llama" for 2019. It should add up to substantially more revenue (and straight line profit), than selling to Netflix did.

This year, more importantly, this quarter (or next, not sure of timing) depends on getting money from broadcast rights for "Thomas Edison's Secret Lab". There were a few deals signed (?) in December 2017 that might have been delivered in Q1 2018. By my calculations (which could be way off), "Thomas Edison's Secret Lab" should have sold enough broadcast rights, prior, to pay for the production. GNUS should get a more equitable cut of the revenue. I'm thinking, around $4+ million, which should make a profitable quarter.

There hasn't been an earnings's announcement (and CC) time for Q1, which GNUS should be reporting Tuesday (May 15th). That has me a little worried.

Caanes Film Festival has been going on and no news from GNUS. That has me worried, too.
