Here's the AKLM line up. Forsaken PC : in stores Forsaken PSX : May 12 Forsaken N64 : May 19 AllStar Baseball N64 : May 25 Jeremy McGrath Supercross 98 PSX : May 27 Coming Soon : WWF WarZone(N64), QBC 99(N64), NHL Breakaway 99(N64), ShadownMan(both N64 and PC), Iggy's Reckin'Balls(N64), X-Men: Children of the Atom(PSX), Bust-A-Move 2(N64), Brain Drain(GameBoy), Extreme-G 2(N64), Turok 2(PC and N64), + SouthPark (PC and Game Console-not declared yet). AKLM can build on the success of QBC, Extreme-G, and Turok franchises. Forsaken, WWF WarZone, and SouthPark can be added to that list of hits. Don't forget AllStar Baseball and Supercross too. Here's some comment from Steve Lux in the News Release regarding South Park deal: "South Park is not your average, politically-correct animated comedy, which is why it has caught the world's attention - people can't wait to see what they're going to do next," said Steve Lux, vice president of marketing at Acclaim Entertainment. "The addictive quality of the show's characters and stories is great fodder for creating mature-rated video games." "We anticipate that we will launch these games with the same type of major marketing campaigns that were used so successfully by us with TUROK:DINOSAUR HUNTER and NFL QUARTERBACK CLUB," added Lux. "We're going to work hand-in-hand with the folks at COMEDY CENTRAL to make South Park as popular in the interactive entertainment arena as it is on television" It's reasonable to see AKLM in the mid-teens by Xmas.

Right now consensus estimates for this year are .19. Estimates for this next quarter (ending early july) are $.03. Amazingly, this estimate has been revised down in the past 90 days. I think that these estimates are way low. Even if AKLM makes .03 this quarter that would represent an increase of over 100% from last year, but again I think that these numbers are way too low. In my mind the two aces in the hole for AKLM this quarter will be ASB 99 for N64 and Forsaken for N64 and PC. Amazingly AKLM beat first quarter estimates by 60% with only the half-felt release of an average Breakaway 98. I wouldn't even have considered buying that game. Forsaken is being dubed the best multiplayer game since Goldeneye, that's what I want. I see earnings for the quarter beating estimates by 100% if not more. If we do beat estimates by more then 100% we will definately be in the double digits by the summer. But the real strong quarter will be quarter 4 which has estimates tagged at $.05. Turok II's preorders along with WWF Warzone will be responsible for the at least 100% beating of estimates if they weren't revised. In all I see year end earnings anywhere from .30-.40. If we get these earnings a pe of 40 will give us 12-16, and I believe that the market will give it it bit more for the fact that it has beat earnings estimates the past 4 quarters, this is why I see close to 20 by year's end. This is only my humble guesstimate, although my logic is based entirely on predicted sales I really think that they can pull it off, but only time will tell. kh
