Bleeker-

I hope Eidos's CEO Cornwall knows what he is doing ; if he gets involved with the boys from Sony.

Problems with the SEC:

Sony ordered to halt 007 film:

Maybe Sony thinks it can get a piece of the Lara Croft film even though Eidos has a deal with Paramount.

Bleeker, good to hear that the printed version is already out. It's quite hard to get one of this reports here in Germany. My broker hasn't a annual report service for foreign companies, I tried the web site of the FT, but it seems that EIDSYs report is out of stock right now (reports form others UK companies are no problem) and receiving one form EIDSY direct - forget it, they've a good marketing department for their games but investor information is quite poor. So my first question is: Where is your source for EIDSYs annual report?
Another thing I want to know, how did EIDSY account it's 15 % interest in the Norwegian company Opticom? This should be worth over 20 mill. $ right now, is it accounted under investments and what is the value EIDSY has accounted it's report for this?

Regarding the quarterly earnings, I think the current strong sales of FF VII, Commandos and Deathtrap Dungeon are not reflected in the actual estimates. EIDSY should post at least a break even this quarter and I don't see them taking any charges which could mess up these numbers (of course if they don't announce an aquisition right now).
