Where the revenue comes from as reported in the latest 10-K
Revenue by geography

As the company reported it, from the “Segment Reporting (Details- Disaggregated revenue)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Regions are the filer's own and are not mapped onto a standard list — one company's “Americas” and another's “United States” are different areas, and making them look comparable would mean making at least one of them wrong. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
Revenue by segment
- Content Production And Distribution
- Media Advisory And Advertising
| Segment | FY2025 | FY2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Content Production And Distribution | $35.2M | $27.8M |
| Media Advisory And Advertising | $4.2M | $4.8M |
As the company reported it, from the “Segment Reporting (Details - Segment allocation)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
