JGreg, Thanks for answering this (& helping me with my homework). ALL: It is still not clear that precise meaning of "50% ownership in ?this? joint venture" translates to "THQ only gets 50% of WWF game revenue". How, then, will this work? -- Other than 50% of upfront licensing cost, what other $$$ (or other asset) does JAKKS bring to the table (to get 50% of THQ game earnings -- for 10 years)?? -- Is it a tit-for-tat arrangement, where THQ also gets a piece of the action figure revenue? In my simple mind, it still makes more sense that the "50% stake in the licensing joint venture", means that (a) they both bring a certain amount to table for license, and (b) both get to do their own business with the license. Then "co-managing the marketing of the games" could mean they will coordinate action figure and game releases ... I wonder if investor relations might clear this up? Good thing i'm a scientist, rather than a strategic business consultant ;-) regards, steve
