Dreamcast Imports |
| Power
Stone (US$58) and Pop 'n Music (US$49)
were shipped overnight and we expect to take delivery on Wednesday. The special Pop 'n
Music controller (US$55) will be available as a separate item. Since there
may be shipping efficiencies, the stock may also arrive tomorrow. During this relatively
slow time of the year, we notice that freight usually gets here quickly. NCS will
prepare all invoices today for efficient dispatch on Wednesday, and possibly on Tuesday. |

| Yen
Equilibrium |
| The
dollar has broken the upper trading band set over the past couple of months and now buys
120.9Y per. There is a good chance that we'll see Y125 by the end of the week but one must
remember that the forex is easily manipulated by official statements and beguiling
rhetoric. Equilibrium is expected by the middle of next week. Until then, arbs may feel
relatively comfortable in buying the dollar and shorting the yen. |

Shopping |

It's almost done. Our consulting agency purchased three different e-commerce software
packages - iCAT, JAC, Soft Cart, which we didn't like, but paid for - before settling on
something totally different from what we originally wanted. The new option should be okay;
after a couple of months of hammering out, scrapping and starting anew, we had to decide
on something. The cart system should by up by the end of the month or at the latest, the
first week of March. The next project will be to install the copy of Ultimate Bulletin
Board that we purchased 2 months ago. That shouldn't take as long since we like the
software and have no qualms or reservations about putting it up. |

| Capital
Markets |
| No
change in positions. We're comfortable with where we are right now and have a pretty good
stranglehold on our potential profits. The market is waffling to and fro with a small buy
bias. Wil stay nimble however to exit positions as we see fit but we would like to hold
until March expiry. |
