Skipard, I have done a little survey on the sales at the local walmart, the radaf games are selling and being restocked apparently on a weekly basis. I think your estimates for the 1st quarter are quite reasonable. My question is: When will the sales pick up in the next quarter for father's day? when will the new games (soccer,nascar,trailblazer) be available at the stores? Do we have any estimates on how sales of the games are doing in europe? thanks for your information collin

Skip, re. research coverage; Radaf will/has obviously employ some investment banking/brokerage firm to buy back shares. Do you think this firm will be the one to institute coverage? Mike - if you are right about Friday (seems to easy for lightening to strike twice though), the Febs will have minimal time value in the AM and possible for small but experienced investor, to make quite a return. The last time the share price went from one strike price to next level and option quintupled from AM level. all imo, Gary

I gotta say Skipard, the Hasbro agreement was the main factor in me holding my shares of Radica when they hit the skids, as well as, to add more. But that was then and this is now. Radica has restored itself from then to now and Hasbro is not as important to Radicas survival as it once was. Here is another thought on it. Hasbro may have boughtTiger for the main reason of keeping it out of the MAttels hands. They have a good working relationship with Radica, IMO, and Mattel has said they want some of this action when they came out with their trivia quiz key chain. Someone made the comment that Hasbro obviously won't have their competitor manufacture for them. Hummm, Seems to me that is exactly what they are doing and are making enough money at it that they keep contracting for new product. We'll see but for now, there may be more upside then downside to this and either way, if it is a fundamental change in the company, then it is worth watching. I am reasonable convinced the downside is not enough to be overly concerned about, but more info will be nice to have. Wayne

A lot has been said about Tiger/Has, and very little about RADAF. I thought I was on the wrong board for awhile. Hey, did you see the new Tiger game, and what do you think? C'mon guys who gives a s@#t? Skipard, Radica does not exist in a vacuum. A change at Tiger will ALWAYS result in a change at Radica. It's an unavoidable economic and mathematic reality. There is a limited(but growing) market for handheld games. If Tiger captures more of this market, then Radica is left with less and vice versa. I would advise you against the tunnel vision strategy.
