I have read every single shareholder letter (cannot say you weren't kept informed, but all the way back 3-4 years ago it was said take 3-4 years for the money to start rolling through licensing, that is how the business works starting from idea the heavy merchandising. Now it is starting and although I agree many are frustrated but now it is starting to roll exactly how the CEO said it would and people are trying to run it down, the end of the rainbow is in sight kids been a long wait but now its time. Its like a biotech watch them till the time/trials/approvals are in thats when the income starts. Its all about building that revenue stream (river) have it coming from everywhere you turn.

This is from the PR in September of 2018 explaining us how it would be rolled out and it has started to just as they said, they even have bikes.

The retail program for Rainbow Rangers will begin rolling out in Back-to-School (July/August) 2019 with over 300 product SKU’s coming to the marketplace."

Like I said all these things take time and the man has said from the jump how long it will take and it has come to fruition its all starting and this year (Superhero Kindegarten with Stan Lee and A. Swarzeneggar names in it and Ali Baba already signing on to partner for China/Asia and are throwing 7 figures out there for the privelage. Now is the right time at the right price to take a piece on a dip its all up from here.
Just this year along the first 9 months see how much licesning is up from previous year By this time enext year that number will have another zero in it especially after The Lee/Swarzeneggar deal that will license imediately here and Asia/EU etc.

Licensing & Royalties
Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2018 $302,140
September 30, 2019 $674,107

in 2018 they only did $450K total in licensing the entire year and $472K in 2017 watch how high these numbers are this Q and the full year for 2019 and what they will be as the skus grow. That is the key with this watching licensing #'s rise and how quickly they rise it will be fast and furious.

The just had a DVD released RAINBOW RANGERS: WELCOME TO KALEIDOSCOPIA (DVD) NEW (2019) Format: NTSC Number of discs: 1 Studio: Genius Brands DVD Release Date: December 3, 2019. That hit right in time for Xmas.

Another Llama Llama DVD was hit for Xmas after releasing two others in October. Its building more and more as it pushes into 2020 it will continue to grow at a more rapid pace the more sku's the more coming in day after day. The company has 200-300 more skus in the works for Rainbow Rangers in 2020 and Kindergarten Superhero will have that many from the jump worldwide as licensing will run concurrent with the release of the series and it is an entirely different already known entity.

"A DVD, Merry Christmas Llama Llama will debut at mass retail and online for holiday season 2019." This just after releasing a new book that hit NYT's best seller list September 15th. Now that this train is rolling is when things start happening getting the masses now just execute and give the people what they want Llama Llama has 25+ new skus in three months and it will contue to grow, past is the past now its time.


They had a series delivered and paid Q3 the second series of Lama Llama and a lot more licensing items rolled out with that brand as well although not the way it is starting to roll with Rainbow Rangers rolling out steady.

They are rated the #2 girls show on Nick Jr. for its age group here are the numbers from October and some of the licesned items up to that point.

Just relax, the CEO himself last year put $3.25 million in so to advance all these deals etc. Now with literally the icing on the cake this coming year of the Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten series set with Arnold Schwarzenegger and it will be distributed in China and Asia with partnership with Alibaba a final number hasn't been nailed down but is in the 7 figures.

Delivery date in US is 2020 a pilot of it was shown in Cannes This past October and it was a top pick, not sure if the delivery to the Chinese market can also be 2020 but with this much of a start with the new partnership signed I don't see why not.

2nd one down.shows delivery date 2020.

Items are already being developed for licensing in one video of the most recent shareholder letter October 15th Arnold is holding one of the lunch boxes. This is all happening as expected and the timing is perfect with bottom of the chart for the stock when the greatest rewards can be reaped.

This suffered from people waiting, shorts, and the all expected selling of shares (mainly to the CEO) to finish getting everything clicking but the float becuase of the CEO going deep certainly isn't expanding as those shares won't see the lght of day for a long time to come. This isn't the first time at the rodeo for this lot they are already succeses with CEO having already sold one company to the big boys in Hollywood. Take a very good look look into all the players and their histories this is winner winner chicken dinner, its been a wait but will have been well worth it, IMHO.

This was the first holiday season with a significant amount of licensed products out there and growing for both Rainbow Rangers and Llama Llama I think people will be surprised and many don't get this business when building from scratch takes a few years, well, now we have arrived to the honey pot.

Grab a piece on a dip, thank me later.

This is gonna be one of those ones everyone was like when did that making/increasing revenues YoY Q after Q happen? It was just time 2020 Superhero Kindegarten gonna change things up quick, first they will have retail merch to coincide with air date the partnership to take it to Asia with BABA merchandising a known entity Stan Lee, The Arnold that is already licensing gold could be platinum but most certainly gold.

The last Stan Lee/Arnold Schwarzenegger end of story Hollywood/animation gold.

This is a very big thing in many quarters of the industry, very big.

Ask yourself a question, why did the CEO buy $500K of the debt this year, why did the CEO buy so much of the stock privately placed this year (almost all of it)? Why not just pump the obvious and dilute to the market as almost every other company does/would/has? I shouldn't have to answer that question.

Now this has zero to do with Stan Lees Kindergarten Superhero lets just preface it with that.

But, with this trend that has spread across both the US and Canada this past year how fast do you think that the cartoon series will become a must watch and probably incorporated into teachers classrooms. 2 + 2 = 4 everytime. This is just a a few from December.

I am going to surmize that Stan Lee and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Kindergarten Superhero will go over rather well and I would bet dollars to donuts that the fine people in licensing circles and the company have an inkling too.



Peace out.
