I personally for my own self am expecting a profitable Q for Q1 or almost, but what do I know.

These are my opinions, I know how certain people here whom are long time investors feel so I do not wish nor do I want any of what I know they have to say.

These are just my own thought and judgements and bare no basis in fact I do appreciate anyone who wishes to detail reason for/against either way as long as they are not the normal blah blah regurgitated drivel, 2016.2017 etc. and the past has no basis on today and we all know and do not need those run through the speaker phone yet again for the 100th + time.

That is what ruins these boards for all stocks, regurgitation of yesterday never seeing forward.

I am expecting some yearly revenue estimates and am thinking for myself 20+ million. Without write down losses I expect there indeed could/should be a profit on the year in its entirety but we will all just have to see how that plays out. Hoping to hear the amount Alibaba/Youku threw into the ring, a "7 figure investment" is rather vague but I imagine since the deal was just signed and they were going into Superhero Kindergarten as partners the number could vary due to costs of production etc and the costs Alibaba/Youku spend promoting, dubbing into Chinese and other Asian languages for SK, also some of that investment may be their costs in selling Superhero Kindergarten throughout Asia a well as merchandise licenses with Asian/Chinese companies for the series. So I would like to hear some clarification on that end, how much of that investment is cash for production, are they paying fully 50% of the costs (which would be brilliant) or some other combination.

I am expecting much from the 4 DVD's which the majority of revenue from would have not been accrued/counted/realized in Q4.

My thoughts/opinions on this come totally from dates of release dates/availability to retailers and the uptick which occurs/ed monthly in popularity going forward.

Specifically these products from these release dates of which we know the DVD's and the trio of RR T-Shorts did amazingly well on Amazon both selling out multiple times. I only know this as I check/ed everyday the listings for goods and their ranking on hot new items in their various categories.

I also am looking forward to seeing the Psycho Bunny royalties for 2019
as 2018 were good but they opened another 3 international stores and their first 5 US stores although one of the new international stores was in November I believe as well as 4 of the US stores. But there was a large nationwide promotion with Shaq (due to 3 stores being in Florida he is the man there) as well as Psycho bunny having a large jump in both presence and popularity in the US especially in the "it" set.

Last Q1 we received $$168,352 for 2018 royalties and although 5 of the new stores opened in Nov the number I am hoping is somewhere in the $350-500K range of no cost revenue, we will have to see.

These are the products that I believe were not specifically included much/at all in Q4 due to as I mentioned release/publication/availability to retailers dates.

Those are the ones with significant numbers that will/should bring much larger uptick in revenue, besides all the other items that were added that as well all know for a while were coming 1-3 per week.

Every week for while a while just about every week revenue generators for today and going forward have been hitting on a weekly basis and that is all one can ask for, it is how it is, I personally like that sort of thing, as that is how businesses grow. Some small some large but adding 40-50 per Q soon 100-150 per Q again is fine and dandy with me.

The other thing we did not see which I have wondered about but, figured it would not be added until Q1 the payment for Rainbow Rangers season 2 by Nick Jr. That 100% screwed my Q4 and yearly revenue estimate.

So lets just see what we hear, it could be anything, I think a main focus could be on Superhero Kindergarten and all that entails, which is a lot as well as a dozen other things because no matter how doomy and gloomy ones character and personality is they would have to admit Genius in terms growth and activity the last 6-12 months has been unprecedented in its history and looks that the next 12 months will make that seem like a fart in the wind.

Okay you can all go back to throwing hand grenades.

Sorry if post is convoluted but anyone who has been with me through _cel etc. they are used to it, its all up their in my head but putting it down in a coherent fashion leave much to be desired.

Peace out.
