Frank: Your 2Q earnings estimate was excellent. First, you got the plus/neg sign correct. Second, it looks like they paid some bills out of earnings like you thought they might...you warned us. Third, we had no way to know that sales would be less than a double. Geez, Sales was only UP ie +++66 % in Year-to-Date (6 mons) compared to last year. It was a great 2Q!!! So, be proud...nobody else is doing this better than you. GRIN needs to tell us: 1/ How their backorders look going forward...especially 4Q. 2/ They owe us info on their e-commerce study. Big article on ETYS in a recent businessweek mag. Apparently, ETYS offers 15 thousand products on line...unless I misread the article. 3/ More about the Pokemon product line and related initiatives. 4/ More about their manufacturing initiative. 5/ More about their French-speaking Furby and related products. Hope GRIN puts out some Press Releases in August. Great Job!
