It seems incredible that we are already coming towards the end of February, it
feels like only a moment ago that we were welcoming the New Year. Life in the
fast-paced world of video games, TV, and film moves at quite a pace, but it is
indeed the end of February and there has been much activity here at 5th Planet
Games.

What has been keeping me busy during the month of February?

Considerable time this month has been spent on finalizing the accounts of 2023
and getting them ready for audit and for publication in the 2023 Annual Report,
which will be released on March 29th. We have a much wider portfolio of products
and partners than ever before and therefore the work of collating the accounts
has grown significantly. 
I am incredibly lucky to have an experienced and capable Finance Manager in
Pernille Miller to lead the work in this area; she does an amazing job. At the
same time as closing the 2023 accounts we have been working on our budget for
2024, and again, covering a wider range of products and partners than ever
before.
In addition to the accounts, I have been looking at a range of ways that 5th
Planet can become a more visible and active contributor to the Danish Video
games sector; It is with this in mind that I have had a number of conversations
with Brian Martin Nielsen, who is a part of the workgroup behind the 'soon to
come' Danish association for the sector,  I will provide further details on this
in due course.
I have spent quite some time this month looking at other parts of the video
games 'value chain' and seeing if there is a role for 5th Planet in other
formats of video games; I hope to make further announcements specifically on
that in the coming weeks.

Regarding new products and partnerships, we have spent time in recent weeks in
discussion with our friends at Sagafilm in Iceland. You will recall that we
closed a co-investment in their company back in September 2023, and are now
getting a better understanding of the exciting opportunities that they have
lined up for 2024 and beyond. There will be a specific mention of Sagafilm in
our upcoming Annual Report and look out for further announcements from them and
us in the coming weeks and months. 

Finally, with the annual Game Developers Conference a few short weeks away in
San Francisco, we are preparing to meet with a number of game developers as we
continue to grow our pipeline of new publishing opportunities. 

So that's what we have been doing in recent weeks past, what is coming up as we
look forward?

Well, as I mentioned above, there is a lot of focus right now on completing the
2023 Annual Report and accounts and I look forward to delivering that report at
the end of next month. On a personal note, I am eagerly awaiting the
re-commencement of Invincible Season 2 on March 14th. The show continues to
shine brightly on Amazon Prime Video and is a strategically important brand for
5th Planet Games.

I do not plan to write a newsletter in March as my attention will shift to the
Annual Report and drafting the letter that accompanies that report.

Thanks for the continued support.
