Contact with GRIN Talked to Kim and Ken at Grand Toys on Friday and got the following information.... EARNINGS - these should be released in mid-March, both for 4th quarter and full year 1999. FURBY - it's bye-bye to Furby. The contract with Hasbro ended Dec 1999, though they have the rights to distribute any remaining inventory. Seems about the right time to get rid of it, as I've been seeing them in more significant quantities in the stores, with about 30% discount from the original RRP. POKEMON - company has been distributing the candy from the start of the year, though they have still to get going with the 'back-to-school' stationery. ACQUISITIONS - Ken (Cieply) had no comment to make on this question at the present time. FWIW, Frank
