GRIN latest news. PART 2

As promised, here are the rest of my notes from
my recent conversation with the GRIN CFO.

* FURBY: GRIN expect to start distributing the
French-speaking Furby into Quebec during the
third quarter. He expects that this will produce
a nice boost to Furby sales as the French-speakers
there have a strong preference for toys with
French speech capability, though even the English
Furby has been selling in the French districts.
He mentioned some other Furby offshoots but I
didn't get the details.

* POKEMON: They have just recently acquired the
character license for Pokemon which will allow them
to use it on their non-toy products (stationery etc).

* Q2 EARNINGS: An unfair question I suppose, as
the quarter has over 2 weeks still to run. Anyway,
I asked and at this point, he thinks they will show
a profit and be ahead of last year's 1c.
