Andrew, this is the sort of acquisition that Lin was looking for:
expansion of THQI's proprietary effort. It's really amazing that the
cash part of the deal is so little: $600,000 from total cash reserves
of about $20 million by the end of Q1. How does Farrell do it?

The stock part of the deal suggests GameFX has high hopes for THQI
going forward. I can't believe Lin didn't know anything about this
before his upgrade. I am still trying to find out more about GameFX
and how the deal will boost THQI's profile in the industry and among
analysts. From a strategic perspective, THQI has added to its
proprietary effort: viewed as too limited in the past by Lin and
other analysts. While this was never a limitation to growth in the
past, I think THQI will now be rewarded a higher P/E multiple: both
by the analyst community and the market.

Lastly, I noticed that the ceo at GameFX sits on an Intel board as a
technology advisor on 3-D issues. Nice one. Welcome to THQI's new
High Tech Czar. And watch out ERTS (P/E multiple of close to 40).

Three Dimensionally Yours:
