Really? No kidding? I'm laughing so hard that there would be chocolate milk coming out of my nose had I been drinking it. You could have saved yourself a whole lot of hand-wringing if you had just paid attention to my previous posts (and also bought Infowave to entertain yourself during the wait). "WE ARE EQUALLY IF NOT MORE INTERESTED IN WHAT THE NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM [GOLDBERG, SAMULSKI-FORMER ACCLAIM SR MGT] HAS UP THEIR SLEEVES FOR 2000 RE: NEWKIDGAMES.COM, ETC..." What in the world did you think I've been blathering about for the last few months? MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE USED CAPS. IS THAT IT? LET ME TRY AGAIN. GIVE THESE GUYS TIME TO EXECUTE THEIR PLAN. THE TEAM THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THE BIG IMPACT ARE RELATIVELY RECENT ARRIVALS. YOU TOLD ME BEFORE THAT I WAS BEING IRRESPONSIBLE FOR RECOMMENDING PATIENCE. I GUESS THAT DOESN'T SEEM SO STOOPID NOW, DUZZ IT? NOT TRYING TO RUB YOUR FACE IN IT, JUST RETURNING THE FAVOR.

Let's review: "Accordingly, one could argue that NewKidCo simply does not have the critical mass to build out its infrastructure and patience [long-term investor] is simply an irrelevant and arguably dangerous concept." Ah, but that was a long time ago. A whole nine days. In fact, that was the day I mentioned Infowave - which has only risen a lousy 50% since then. Another loser stock in my portfolio. ROTFLMAO.

[COMMENTARY][UPDATE 1][01-23-00 02:05 PM ET] SAMULSKI, RABINS, GRIFFITHS MCBURNEY, FOCUS PARTNERS, AND NEWKIDCO SHAREHOLDER VALUE [TURNING POINT?]. First, [in our opinion] Paul Samulski is solid management and good people...Paul Samulski [11-01-99 hosting.webfiler.com\PR ] has confirmed that NewKidCo has firmed up its distribution with Mattel© recently...the implications being that when they release Warner Brothers© Tom & Jerry© this year it will be released the same day [worldwide]...Samulski further indicated that an employee who worked for him at Acclaim is now NewKidCo's key contact with Mattel© Interactive, NewKidCo's worldwide distribution partner...Samulski is very excited about 2000 and beyond...possibility of a NewKidCo ML Baseball license for 2000 in addition to a couple of PS2 titles...also according to Samulski NewKidCo will have a real nice presence at E3 2000 e3expo.com [in the Mattel© booth]...Samulski feels really good about Tom & Jerry© given its international appeal...NewKidCo is moving NewKidGames.com to the front burner with possible leading-edge technology but may not be ready for prime time until q4 2000-q1 2001...NewKidCo.com, however, should be completely updated and be interactive "...within 45-60 days..."...Samulski also confirmed the deal with Disney© "...was a very significant deal..."...Schneider, CFO, earlier indicated NewKidCo currently has a substantive pipeline of twelve (12) titles in development...Samulski also indicated the Sony© PlayStation/II© and Nintendo© Gameboy© Color will be their primary focus...it was also represented that [NewKidCo's recently signed] Sony© Dragon Tales© is the number 1 rated children's show on PBS over Sesame Street©...also represented as shipping by Q4 2000...significantly and dovetailing with Jim's post we observed a substantive turning point with Richard Rabins...he is confident and it was very obvious...accordingly, it is our opinion that Focus Partners is responsible for recent shares being picked up from Griffiths McBurney as sellers curiously while the stock is climbing...perhaps first evidence of NewKidCo's intent to list NASDAQ and gain a substantive U.S. following while dropping the [Canadian stigma and lack of support] concomitant with dropping the SEC Rule 15c2-6 designated security [shareholder value destruction] straight-jacket...

[02-03-00 02:37 PM ET] ON THE HEELS OF ANNOUNCING PROJECTED ~800% CONTINUING OPERATIONS REVENUE GROWTH FY 99 V. FY 98 NEWKIDCO LEAPFROGS ITS COMPETITORS AND ESTABLISHES SUBSTANTIVE SHAREHOLDER VALUE AND CRITICAL MASS INFRASTRUCTURE WITH TODAYs ANNOUNCEMENT OF A MAJOR INTERNET KIDS PORTAL[1.] DOVETAILING WITH FEB 1 ISSUE OF INTERNET WORLDs (THE VOICE OF BUSINESS AND INTERNET TECHNOLOGY) FRONT COVER FEATURE "CLICKING WITH KIDS- A MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR MARKET NOBODYs CRACKED"[2.]... NEWKIDCO INTERNATIONAL INC. AND KAON INTERACTIVE COMPANY, LLC FORM INTERNET-BASED JOINT VENTURE NEWKIDGAMES.COM TO DELIVER INTERACTIVE VIDEO GAMES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN ON THE WEB Burlington, MA and Cambridge, MA - February 3, 2000 -NewKidCo International Inc. (OTC BB: NKCIF; TSE: NKC), a leading children's video game publisher ("NewKidCo") and Kaon Interactive Company, LLC ("Kaon"), a developer and application service provider of shared, interactive "turnkey 3D" content on the web, today announced the formation of a new company, NEWKIDGAMES.COM, to deliver children's video games and entertainment on the web. NEWKIDGAMES.COM plans to develop an interactive video game web site and portal specifically designed for young children (under 12). The site, expected to launch in the second half of the year, is being created to offer very high quality 3D interactive single and multi-player games. NEWKIDGAMES.COM plans to be a place where the content is "safe" and kids can have fun. The site will only carry games, advertising and products that are "wholesome" enough for young children and will not carry any violent or mature content. While the core attraction of the site will be games, as the user base grows, it is anticipated that the site will become more of a kids' portal with other online site features. NEWKIDGAMES.COM'S competitive advantage is expected to be two fold - a unique 3D technology coupled with an expertise in creating kids' video games based on well-known characters. NEWKIDGAMES.COM has an exclusive perpetual license to use Kaon's HyperActive, a 3D interactive technology. HyperActive allows very high quality, single and multi-player, 3D interactive games to be played over the Internet within standard browsers, without the bandwidth constraints and huge downloads required by other technologies. The Kaon HyperActive technology allows for a rich interactive video game experience over a dial-up modem that Kaon believes cannot currently be duplicated by any competitor. NewKidCo and Kaon have each made an equal capital investment in the new company and will provide technology, management and marketing expertise to NEWKIDGAMES.COM. Richard Rabins, CEO of NewKidCo commented, "In the U.S. alone, there are approximately 43 million children in the under 12 year old marketplace. Analyst projections are that this age group's use of the Internet will grow from the current 25% in 1999 to over 50% by 2003. In addition, the market outside the U.S. will, over time, be even larger. As a publisher of video games for kids, we know that kids have a huge appetite for video games that we believe will translate to the web. NEWKIDGAMES.COM will serve as an excellent complement to our console-based video gaming business." Richard Silton, President and CEO of Kaon added, "We view our alliance with NewKidCo in developing NEWKIDGAMES.COM as strategic in that we will be entering the children's game market with an experienced partner that already has the expertise and critical relationships in place. By combining these strengths with our breakthrough HyperActive technology, our objective is to become a dominant children's game site very quickly..."
