The nature of the issuer’s business is driven by the operating entity, Hannover House, which is a full-service producer and distributor of entertainment products(i.e., feature films for theatrical, video, television and international distribution, and a publisher of books).

Business of Issuer -- The SIC Codes most closely conforming to the Company’s business activities are: 7822(Services – Motion Picture & Video Tape Distribution)and 2731(Books: Publishing). The Company is currently operating. At no time has the Company ever been a “shell company” as defined in the guidelines.

 

Through the operating entity of “Hannover House,” the Company is actively involved with the production, acquisition and distribution of entertainment products into the USA and Canadian markets, including theatrical films, home video releases, rights licenses of films and videos to Video-On-Demand platforms and television, as well as book publishing (including printed editions and electronic “E-Book” formats).

 

FILMS & VIDEOS – Most of the film and video titles that are distributed by the Company are “acquired” or otherwise licensed from third-party suppliers, often production companies or media companies seeking to expand their income and market reach through a relationship with Hannover House. Some of the properties distributed by the Company are “sales agency” ventures, in which the Company performs certain sales & marketing functions on behalf of the owners of the properties, as opposed to having the Company actually purchase or otherwise license rights into the property. Historically, most of the titles sold by the Company were under such “sales agency” ventures. However, beginning in 2010 with the merger of Hannover House and Target Development Group, Inc., the Company began moving away from “sales agency” ventures and pursuing actual rights-licensing / acquisition structures for new titles. Examples of “sales agency” titles would include “Hounddog” from Empire Film Group and “Grand Champion” from American Family Movies; examples of rights-licensed titles would include “Twelve” from Gaumont and “Turtle: The Incredible Journey” from Sola-Media. The Company benefits from rights-licensed titles over sales-agency titlesBeginning in a variety of ways: a). the fees to2013, the Company are usually higher under rights licenses, b). the durationbegan exploring options to finance higher-profile films through private equity, international presales, co-production ventures, tax structures and other financing tools. The goal of the terms of representation rights are usually longer for rights licenses,Company’s activities in developing and c). titles falling under rights- licenses provideproducing higher profile films is to dramatically increase the Company with additionalCompany’s revenues and balance sheet and collateral benefits.

Page 11

For the calendar year ending 12-31-2013, the Company generated over ninety-two percent (92%) of the gross revenues from the sales, distribution and licensing of Film & Video properties. The average “gross margin” generated for the benefit of the Company from the release of Films & Videos is twenty-seven percent (27%).without unreasonably encumbering cash or debt resources.

 

BOOKS / E-BOOKS – The Company remains active in the acquisition and licensing of publishing rights to printed books and e-Books. The gross margins earned by the Company in the release of Books are generally much higher than the margins derived from the release of Film and Video properties; however, the upside revenue potential for books is usually not as high as the potential for Films. So the Company seeks to maintain a balance in its release slate of high-margin book properties, with high-revenue Film and Video properties.

 

The use of the term "Company" refers to the combined entities, as reported on a consolidated basis, of Hannover House, Inc., Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” and Bookworks, Inc. (a special purpose entity utilized for Screen Actors Guild activities and productions). Each of the corporate entities files separate income tax returns with the federal government and respective states of registration; however, financial statements and reports, as of January 1, 2010, refer to the combined and consolidated results of all entities. Hannover House, Inc. is the publicly-traded entity for all operating divisions. Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House” is the operating and releasing division entity for all consumer products. Bookworks, Inc., is a special purpose entity established for the servicing of book and publishing ventures, and more recently, used for Screen Actors Guild productions.

 

As of 12-31-20136-30-2014 and remaining true through the date of this filing, the Company does not foresee any probable or existing governmental regulations as having an adverse or material impact to the operations.

 

During calendar year 2009 (and specifically limited to activities for Truman Press, Inc., d/b/a “Hannover House”), the Company invested approximately $15,000 on activities that could be characterized as ‘research and development.’ During the calendar year of 2010, and under the consolidated reporting of all entities, the Company invested approximately $20,000 on projects and activities that could be characterized as ‘research and development.’ During the calendar year of 2011 and under consolidated reporting of all entities, the Company invested approximately $166,000 on projects and activities that could be characterized as ‘research and development.’ (specifically, the production of feature film / video products). During 2012, the Company invested approximately $287,114 on production projects / R&D assignable; during 2013, the Company made no new investments in production or activities that would be R&D assignable.

 

The Company has not incurred any non-negligible costs relating to compliance with environmental laws, whether to federal, state or local.

 

As of 12-31-2013,6-30-2014, the Company had 67 full-time employees.

The nature of products and services offered:

 

 A.The principal products of the Company, and their respective markets are:

 

 i.Theatrical films – released to theatres in the United States

 

 ii.Home Video Products (DVDs, Blu-Rays, Digital Copies) – released to video specialty retailers, mass-merchandisers, bookstores, schools, libraries and rental outlets (including kiosks) in the United States and Canada;

 

 iii.Video-On-Demand releases – films and videos offered for direct ‘in-home viewing’ by consumers via a variety of service providers.

 

 iv.Books and E-Books – sold through bookstores, schools, libraries, internet retailers and streamed through a variety of e-Book platforms.

 

 B.The primary distribution methods used by the Company for all consumer product goods can be categorized as: “two-step wholesale” distribution (wherein the Company sells its products to an authorized wholesale distributor, which in turn, resells the products to retailers or consumers) and “direct distribution” wherein the Company sells its products directly to consumers or directly to the end-user retailer.

 

 C.The Company has announced, and included in previously published disclosures, a listing of some of the principal, upcoming theatrical films that will also be released onto home video formats.

 D.Competitive Position – The Company competes for theatrical screens and retail (home video) shelf space against seven (7) Major Studio suppliers and approximately eight (8) independent studio suppliers. While all of the Major Studio competitors operate their own (in-house) home video distribution divisions, only three of the independent studio suppliers operate both theatrically and in the home video markets. Operating a home video releasing label “in-house” provides the Company with an advantage in the solicitation of titles for acquisition, as well as provides greater control over the Company’s cash-flow and corporate goals.

 

 E.Materials and Suppliers – The principal service providers to the Company are listed in detail in this disclosure, below. The principal suppliers of new release film and video products include the following production companies and programming sources(listed alphabetically):Allegheny Image Factory; American Family Movies; Associated Television; Atlas Films; BerVon Entertainment; Cinetic Media; Daybreak Pictures; Empire Film Group, Inc.; Eurocine International; Gaumont, SA; Origin Motion Pictures; Plaza Entertainment, Inc.; Phoenix Entertainment; Phoenix Releasing Group; Sola-Media, GmbH; Shoreline Entertainment; Studio 3 Entertainment; PWI-Veracruz Entertainment. The principal suppliers of books for the Company to publish include (listed alphabetically): James Danielson, Phil Goodman, Brenda Hancock, Vivian Kaplan, Barr McClellan and Vivian Schilling. The Company sees no shortage of properties available for acquisition in any of the applicable media.

 

F.Dependence on Major Customers – Two of the Company's current customers as of 12-31-2013 contributed fifteen percent (15%) or more to the overall, annualized sales revenues.  Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (inclusive of sales to their SAM’S Clubs division), has been purchasing most of the Company's new release DVD titles.. The Company does not see the Wal-Mart market share as an unhealthy dependence on a key customer, as Wal-Mart constitutes a much smaller share of the Company’s overall revenues than for many Major Studios, and the Company does not anticipate that the growth in sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., will grow disproportionately with the Company’s other customers. Revolution International has commenced activities for the international sales and licensing of higher-end properties owned or controlled by the Company, the revenue results for which also exceed the fifteen percent (15%) threshold of total, annualized revenues.  The Company does not feel that the rapidly growing sales revenues being realized from the international markets poses an unreasonable or viable threat to operations, as sales are cumulative over multiple licensing agreements for specific territories, media and titles.  

 

Page 13

 G.The Company does not own or control any patents, franchise or concessions. The licenses and royalty agreements fall under the category of being part of the ordinary course of business.

 

 H.The company does not need any government approvals of principal products or services.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Investment in the Company's Stock bears similar risks as may exist with other stocks trading on the OTC Markets board. The trading price for Company's Stock Shares can vary significantly based upon a variety of factors unrelated to the Company's actual value or revenue achievements. On an accrual basis, the Company is generating profits each quarter, with regular DVD and Blu-Ray product sales supplemented with long-term receivables for Subscription Video-On-Demand and Television sales. However, on a cash-flow basis, the Company's cash resources are often strained by immediate and long-term debt obligations. Some investors and shareholders have expressed discomfort with the Company's persistently tight cash position, which has been the result of balancing ongoing operational needs with debt management and new release activities against product cash flows. Conversely, many shareholders have also expressed resistance to the concept of issuing equity shares under "debt conversion" structures, which would relieve much of the cash-flow burdens but would result in a dilution of shareholder equity. Accordingly, management has worked to find the best balance of maximizing shareholder value and return, while minimizing equity dilution activities. There can be no assurance that ongoing cash flow from product sales will, by itself, be sufficient to meet the Company's combined operational, debt-management and growth needs. To address the Company's cash position, management has initiated an agreement with an Accounts Receivable-based lender, to accelerate cash flow from current product sales and thus facilitate faster growth into new areas (such as the Company's "VODwiz.com" streaming venture), as well as to provide working capital to enable the Company's Film and Television Rights Library to be more efficiently exploited.

 

While there are no material threats at present to the Company's ongoing viability, there can be no assurance that the majority of long-term creditors will continue to comply with debt reduction and installment payment agreements. And while the Company continues to generate DVD and Blu-Ray sales to major retailers (and Video-On-Demand contracts through the major VOD portals), there can be no assurance that current and past sales performance will continue into the future. The remedies available to the Company for continued viability and growth are revenues from product sales and licenses, credit arrangements (both with lenders and suppliers) and stock-equity opportunities (ranging from shelf-registration of new shares to "debt-conversion" ventures to alleviate the cash-flow burden from older, qualifying payables). Investment in the Company's Stock Shares bears significant risks, as well as significant upside potential. The "Price-Earnings Ratio" for publicly-traded entertainment stocks in the Company's area of activity results in an average P/E rate of 22-times. The current P/E ratio for Company's s(Hannover House's) is 5.8,3.7, suggesting that the shares are currently trading at a price that is undervalued by a factor of approximately 4-times5-times when compared to the industry average.

 

Trading volume in Company's stock is averages approximately 1,100,0001,243,400 shares per day, suggesting that investments in the Company's stock may not be as easily or quickly resold as some other stock offerings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures -Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of December 31, 2013 ,June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and President of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures werecontinued to be effective as of December 31, 2013 .

June 30, 2014.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also evaluated whether any

changes occurred to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have

materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such

change during the period covered by this report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

As of December 31, 2013,June 30, 2014, the Company was not involved in any open or non-adjudicated litigation matters.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Other than as set forth in this FORM 10-Q filing, there are no specific risk factors relating to the Company's securities that are not universally applicable to other equities trading on the OTC Markets.

 

Key Man / Principals - The Company is reliant upon the continued employment and work performance of the two, principal managers, Eric Parkinson (CEO) and D. Frederick Shefte (President). As an accommodation to benefit the Company's cash flow, both Parkinson and Shefte have been deferring a majority of their salaries. Additionally, as has been required by many third-party program suppliers, Parkinson has often been listed as a "key man" to the rights licenses or sales venture agreements for specific acquisitions, due to his successful home video sales track record.

 

Page 15

The cessation of employment by either Parkinson or Shefte for any reason could have a material and negative impact on the Company, as current cash flows would not facilitate the hiring of comparably qualified executives, and the loss of Parkinson as "key man" could result in multiple title agreement cancellations.
