Item 1.


Description of Business:


Introduction


Grand Toys International Inc. (“Grand”) is a Nevada corporation which, by itself and through its Canadian subsidiary, Grand Toys Ltd. (“Grand Canada”), has been engaged in the toy business for over 43 years.  The Company develops and distributes a wide variety of toys and fashion accessories throughout Canada and,  to a lesser extent, the United States.  Grand’s business consists of four areas of operation:(i) importing and distributing throughout Canada, on an exclusive and non-exclusive basis, a wide variety of well-known toy and leisure products and fashion accessories including party goods, stationery and accessories; (ii) selling toy products and fashion accessories featuring popular characters licensed to the Company; (iii) earning commissions on the sale of products represented by Grand Toys Ltd. and shipped directly from an overseas vendor to Canadian customers; and (iv) selling proprietary products such as I-screme cosmetics and Art

X-press crafts.


On January 29, 2002, the Company consolidated all of its Canadian operations into Grand Toys Ltd.


On June 14, 2002, the Company sold all of the shares of one of its United States subsidiaries, Sababa Toys Inc., which was created in 2000.


Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to “Grand” or the “Company” include Grand Toys International, Inc. and its operating subsidiary, Grand Toys Ltd.  The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the operations of Grand Toys Ltd.  The Company’s United States subsidiary, Ark Creations, Inc., which owns a proprietary line of puzzles, ceased operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.


Recent Developments


The Reorganization and the Acquisition of Playwell


On November 14, 2003, Grand, Genius Glory Limited, a Hong Kong limited company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grand International Limited (“Grand HK”), and Centralink Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited company (“Centralink”), entered into a Subscription and Exchange Agreement (the “Subscription and Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other matters;

Grand will undertake a corporate reorganization pursuant to which Grand and its operating subsidiaries will become subsidiaries of Grand HK, with each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of Grand being converted into one American Depositary Receipt (“ADRs”) representing one Ordinary Share of Grand HK, and each outstanding option and warrant to purchase Grand Common Stock being converted into one option or warrant to purchase Grand HK ADRs representing one Ordinary Share of Grand HK;

Grand HK will acquire from Centralink all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Playwell International Limited, a Hong Kong limited company (“Playwell”), in exchange for the issuance to Centralink of 5,000,000 Grand HK ADRs representing 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares of Grand HK.Playwell is a holding company which owns four subsidiaries:Hong Kong Toy Center Limited, a trading company which manufactures products designed by customers and Playwell branded items; Gatelink Mould Engineering Limited, a manufacturer of moulds for Playwell; Great Wall Alliance Limited, the holder of Playwell trademarks; and Asian World Enterprises Limited, the holder of licenses for Walt Disney Company and Crayola branded products.  Grand is a premier licensee and distributor of a wide variety of toys and ancillary items in Canada and, since January 1999, a supplier of proprietary products in the United States.

In addition to the acquisition of the Playwell shares, pursuant to the Subscription and Exchange Agreement, Centralink will also subscribe for 5,000,000 Grand HK ADRs for cash and other consideration totaling $11,000,000.

Pursuant to the Subscription and Exchange Agreement, in connection with and as an integral part of the transactions described above, Grand will cause to be organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grand HK a new Nevada corporation to be called GTI Acquisition Corp. (“Grand Merger Sub”); and Grand will merge with Grand Merger Sub in a statutory merger under Nevada law in which Grand will be the surviving corporation and as a result of which, among other things, the holders of the common stock of Grand will acquire in lieu thereof beneficial ownership of ordinary shares in the capital of Grand HK (“Grand Ordinary Shares”).Consummation of the reincorporation merger and the issuance of 10,000,000 shares to Centralink, which issuance represents more than twenty percent of the issued and outstanding securities of Grand, is subject to approval by the shareholders of Grand .

In connection with the transactions described above, the Board of Directors of Grand HK will be completely reconstituted. Following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription and Exchange Agreement, Centralink will own a majority of the shares of Grand HK and the Board of Directors of Grand HK will consist of five directors, two of whom will be nominated by Centralink, two of whom will be nominated by the current principal shareholders of Grand and one director who will be elected at large.


After completion of the reorganization merger, each former Grand stockholder will own an interest in Grand HK, a Hong Kong holding company which, through Grand, Playwell and their respective subsidiaries, will continue to conduct the business that Grand, Playwell and their respective subsidiaries now conduct.


Products


Grand Canada imports into Canada for distribution select toys and fashion accessories from vendors which typically design, develop and sell their products in other countries.


In determining which items to import, Grand Canada examines such factors as consumer acceptance of the particular products in other countries, and Canadian consumer tastes for such products based on similar products distributed previously in Canada.  In addition, prior to ordering a product, Grand Canada attempts to predict the potential demand for such product by exhibiting it to Grand Canada’s existing customers.


The following table sets forth certain vendors whose products Grand Canada distributes in Canada, the type of products they manufacture, and the price range at which Grand Canada sells such products to retailers.

The Company’s business and operating results depend largely upon the appeal of the toy products developed and distributed by the Company. A decline in the popularity of its existing products and product lines or the failure of new products and product lines to achieve and sustain market acceptance could result in reduced overall revenues and margins, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s continued success will depend on its ability to redesign, restyle and extend its existing toy products and fashion accessories and to develop, introduce and gain customer acceptance of new toy products. However consumer preferences with respect to toy products and fashion accessories are continuously changing and are difficult to predict.


Design and Development


Grand Canada does not employ its own inventors of new concepts as is common in the toy and fashion accessory industries.  Instead Grand Canada receives and develops new concepts in other ways including:


consideration of numerous concepts from unaffiliated third parties for new products.  If it accepts and develops an inventor’s concept for a new product, it will pay royalties to the inventor on sales from that product.; and

review by Grand’s staff of trade and product developments within the recreational sector and determination if there is an opportunity that could be put into development.


Grand’s staff then develops the new concepts by attending tradeshows worldwide, reading industry publications and communicating with our existing vendors and customers.


The Company, through it’s United States subsidiary, Sababa Toys Inc., developed new concepts to be developed internally or by the other subsidiaries within the corporate group, to be sold to third parties.  On June 14, 2002, the Company sold all of the shares of its Sababa Toys, Inc. subsidiary.


The Company also develops proprietary products and uses internal staff to develop these products to be sold to third parties.


All safety testing of the Company’s products is done by the manufacturers at the manufacturers’ factories and is designed to meet safety regulations imposed by the Canadian and United States governmental authorities.  The Company also monitors quality assurance procedures of the manufacturers for the Company’s products for safety purposes at the Company’s warehouse facilities.


Sources of Product


Approximately 93% of the Company’s gross sales in 2003 were from products supplied by the following five vendors: Toy Biz, Toy Tech, Barter, P & M Products and T-Ink Ltd. These products accounted for 62%, 13%, 11%, 4% and 3%, respectively, of 2003 gross sales.  If one or more of the remaining suppliers identified above were to terminate their relationship with the Company, such termination may have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Other than the products from the above-mentioned vendors, no products from any other vendor or from the Company’s proprietary products accounted for more than 3% of the Company’s gross sales in 2003.


The products distributed by the Company are manufactured for the Company by unaffiliated third parties principally located in China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Spain, the United States and the United Kingdom.  The Company orders products from its vendors which in turn select product manufacturers on the basis of factors standard in the toy industry including price, payment terms, product quality, reliability and the ability of a manufacturer to meet delivery requirements.  For licensed products, the licensors may have the right to approve the manufacturers selected by the vendors.  The use of third-party manufacturers enables the Company to avoid incurring fixed manufacturing costs, but also reduces its ability to control the timing and quality of the manufacturing process.


The Company does not supervise the day-to-day manufacturing of its products. However, prior to the commencement of manufacturing, the Company, the vendor and the manufacturer work together to design a prototype of the specific product and its packaging.  The manufacturer is contractually obligated to manufacture the products in accordance with those prototype specifications.  For licensed products, some licensors may be required to approve the prototype prior to production.


All manufacturing services performed overseas are generally paid for by either letter of credit or wire transfer.  Payment for such manufacturing is made only upon the proper fulfillment of terms established by the Company for each purchase order.  These terms include adherence to product quality, design, packaging and shipping standards, as well as proper documentation relating thereto.  Most product purchases are paid for in U.S. dollars.


Grand Canada is not a party to any long-term supply or requirements agreements with any specific manufacturer.  All of the Company’s manufacturers may subcontract the manufacture of components of their products to third parties who are not affiliated with the Company.


Materials


The principal raw materials used in the production and sale of the Company products are plastic, printed fabrics and paper products.  These are all currently available at reasonable prices from a variety of sources.  Because the Company does not manufacture any of its products on site, it does not own any specialized tools or other production equipment.


Location


Grand Canada leases a building in suburban Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where the Company’s executive and administrative offices are located as well as its distribution center.  The Company also had a sales office and showroom in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.  This location was closed on December 31, 2002 as part of the Company’s restructuring efforts.


Licensing and Distribution Agreements


Character Licenses


The Company’s product lines include products featuring well-known character properties created by others.  In order to obtain the right to manufacture and sell products featuring such character properties, Grand Canada enters into license agreements with the owners of such properties.  Under the terms of the character property license agreements, Grand Canada pays royalties to licensors that generally range from 6% to 15% of net sales of the products carrying these character properties.  To the extent that competition increases among companies to obtain character property licenses, Grand Canada may encounter increased difficulty in obtaining certain character licenses and may be required to pay greater minimum guaranteed royalty amounts.


Generally, the Company’s character property license agreements provide the Company with the exclusive or non-exclusive right to sell only specific products featuring the particular character.  These agreements typically limit the sale of such products to Canada.  However, certain agreements allow distribution in the United States.  They generally have terms of one to three years and are generally although not required by their terms, renewed upon payment of certain minimum guarantees or the attainment of specified sales levels.


The following table sets forth the Company’s character licenses, the licensor for these character properties, the territory of sale, and the types of products that the Company markets featuring these character properties.

There is one particular character property license that resulted in sales in excess of 10% of Grand Canada’s sales revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Astrojax property represented 13% of the Company’s sales revenues and the loss of this licensed product would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.


All costs associated with licensing and distribution are expensed in the period incurred and are shown as royalty expense in the Statements of Operations.  Total royalty expense for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $302,801, $311,082 and $252,506, respectively.


Distribution Arrangements with Toy Vendors


Grand Canada selects products from a master product list provided to it by the vendor.  The purchase price, depending on the arrangement with the supplier, may consist of a fixed payment per item, specified minimum quantities to be purchased and other conditions, and occasionally a royalty fee.


Pursuant to these agreements, Grand Canada obtains either the exclusive and non-exclusive right to import and distribute throughout Canada the products selected by it.  These agreements generally have terms of one to five years and are usually exclusive for a specified product or product line within a specific territory.


Grand Canada’s distribution agreement with its largest vendor, Toy Biz Inc., accounted for 62% of the Company’s 2003 sales volume.  Grand’s contract with this vendor renews on an annual basis.  At December 31, 2003, the agreement is verbal in nature.


Generally, under Grand’s distribution agreements, Grand Canada is responsible for paying shipping and other related costs upon the purchase of goods from the vendor.  If Grand Canada were to be in default under a license or distribution agreement, such agreement could be terminated and the Company could also incur liability for certain costs and penalties.



As a result of changing consumer preferences, many toy products are successfully marketed for only one or two years.  There can be no assurances that any of the Company’s current products or product lines will continue to be popular for any significant period of time; any new products or product lines introduced by the Company will achieve an adequate degree of market acceptance; or any new product’s life cycle will be sufficient to permit the Company to recover development, manufacturing, marketing or other costs of the product.


In the event a new product does not receive sufficient market acceptance, the Company may be required to sell inventory of such product at a substantial discount.  Accordingly, the Company’s success is dependent in large part on its ability to secure the rights to distribute new products and to secure new character and well-known brand name licenses for existing or new product lines, which cannot be assured.  Therefore, the Company cannot assume that any new products will be successful or meet with the same success as existing products.


Marketing, Sales and Distribution


Grand Canada markets its products throughout Canada via one employee sales representative and independent sales agents.  Purchasers of the products include mass retailers, regional retail stores, toy specialty stores and wholesalers.


Grand Canada’s three largest customers are: Toys ‘R’ Us, Zellers and Walmart, which for the year ended December 31, 2003 accounted for approximately 21%, 20% and 8% respectively, of the Company’s gross sales.  No other customer accounted for more than 8% of gross sales in 2003.  If one or more of the three customers identified above terminated its relationship with Grand Canada, a material adverse effect on the Company may occur.


Grand Canada, in its regular business operations does not have long term order commitments from its customers.  The Company sells to its customers on open account, allowing customers to purchase products up to certain pre-established credit limits.


For the majority of its customers, the Company enters into one-year term agreements.  These agreements stipulate payment terms, shipping terms, allowances and rebates (i.e., a return on prices paid by the customer if it provides advertising, there are defective product returns or a high volume of product orders, as applicable).Payment terms typically vary between 30 and 90 days.


Customers generally can cancel purchase orders for which goods have been purchased.  Grand attempts to minimize this possibility by ensuring that customer orders are matched to product purchases.

In addition, pressure by large customers seeking a reduction in prices, financial incentives, a change in other terms of sale or for the Company to bear the risks and the cost of carrying inventory could also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Grand Canada employs a sales and marketing staff of four, including one senior manager and one sales person who makes on-site visits to customers for the purpose of soliciting orders for products.  Grand Canada markets products at major and regional toy trade shows in Canada.  In addition, Grand Canada maintains a showroom at its headquarters in suburban Dorval, Quebec, Canada.


Grand Canada directly, or through outside salespersons, takes written orders for products from customers and submits the orders to Grand’s vendors who then arrange for manufacture of the products.  Customer order cancellations are generally made in writing and Grand will then notify the appropriate vendors of customer cancellations who in turn notify the manufacturers.  This procedure allows Grand to avoid adding products to inventory as a result of customer cancellations of orders.


Returns are generally not accepted although consistent with industry practices, exceptions to this policy are made on a case-by-case negotiated basis.  Those customers who are shipped defective products (per their term agreements) would claim product returns against the rebates.  If a return is material, Grand Canada may have recourse against the manufacturer of the product.


Seasonality


The Company’s business is seasonal, with a majority of sales occurring during the period from September through December in anticipation of the holiday season.  Therefore its annual operating results will depend, in large part, on its sales during the relatively brief holiday season.


Further, this seasonality is increasing as large retailers become more efficient in their control of inventory levels through quick response management techniques.  Retail sales of toy products are seasonal.  These customers are timing reorders so that they are being filled by suppliers closer to the time of purchase by consumers, which to a large extent occurs during September through December, rather than maintaining large on-hand inventories throughout the year to meet consumer demand. While these techniques reduce a retailer's investment in inventory, they increase pressure on suppliers like the Company to fill orders promptly and shift a significant portion of inventory risk and carrying costs to the supplier. The limited inventory carried by retailers may also reduce or delay retail sales. Additionally, the logistics of supplying more and more product within shorter time periods increase the risk that the Company may fail to achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules.


This seasonal pattern requires significant working capital mainly to purchase inventory prior to the holiday season, and requires accurate forecasting of demand for products during the holiday season. The Company’s failure to accurately predict and respond to consumer demand could result in our under-producing popular items and overproducing less popular items.


However management of the Company attempts to offset the seasonal nature of the industry by seeking out non-seasonal product lines.  The success of non-seasonal product lines, i.e., Spiderman and Lord of the Rings, has resulted in an appropriate seasonal, non-seasonal inventory concentration for the third and fourth quarters.


Product Liability


The Company maintains product liability coverage for the Company’s operations in the aggregate amount of Canadian $12,000,000.The Company is currently defending a lawsuit for an alleged defective product causing personal injury, as described in Note 16 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.


Competition


The industries in which the Company competes are highly competitive.  Grand Toys competes with many larger toy companies in the design and development of new toys, the procurement of licenses and for adequate retail shelf space for its products.  The larger toy companies include Hasbro Inc., Mattel Inc., Playmates Inc. and Bandai Co.  Many of these competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company.  Grand also faces competition from retailers who buy directly from the supplier rather than use a distributor like the Company.  The Company remains competitive by offering full service to its customers, including marketing programs and customer service. The toy industry’s highly competitive environment continues to place cost pressures on manufacturers and distributors.  Discretionary spending among potential toy consumers is limited and the toy industry competes for those dollars along with the makers of computers and video games.  Management believes that strong character and product licenses, the Company’s reputation, the competence of its senior management and its operational controls have enabled Grand to compete successfully.


Government Regulation


The Company is subject to the provisions of various laws, certain of which have been enacted by the Federal Government of Canada and others which have been enacted by the Government of the Province of Quebec and other Canadian provinces, and the various states in the United States


Federal


The laws of the Government of Canada to which Grand Canada is subject include the Hazardous Products Act which empowers the Government to protect children from hazardous toys and other articles.  Under that legislation the Government has the authority to exclude from the market those articles, which are found to be hazardous.  Grand Canada is also subject to the Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act enacted by the Government of Canada, whose legislation prohibits the importation of prepackaged items into Canada, as well as the sale, importation, or advertising in Canada of items, which have misleading information on their label.


Provincial


The legislation enacted by the Government of the Province of Quebec in Canada to which Grand Canada is subject includes the Consumer Protection Act which prohibits the sale of hazardous toys and other articles, and also requires proper labeling and instructions to be included with the item being sold.


Grand Canada is also subject to the Charter of the French Language, which requires that all labeling and instructions appear in the French language, as well as the Upholstery and Stuffed Articles Act, which requires that stuffed articles conform to hygienic norms, and obligates companies to take measures against contamination during transportation and storage.  Similar laws exist in several cities and provinces throughout Canada and in many jurisdictions throughout the world.


The Company maintains a quality control program to ensure compliance with all applicable laws.


Employees


As of December 31, 2003, the Company employed 23 full-time persons, including two executive officers, none of whom are represented by a union.  The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory.


Item 2.


Description of Property:


The Company’s principal executive offices are located in an approximately 105,000 square foot facility located at 1710 Route Trans-Canada, Dorval, Quebec, Canada.  The Company uses the facility for offices, showroom, warehousing and distribution.


The lease for the premises expires on September 30, 2004 but Grand Canada has the right to extend the lease for an additional five-year period, to September 30, 2009, which Grand is considering exercising.


The current monthly rent is $25,315 and during the extension period shall be increased each year by a percentage that is equal to 75% of the percentage increase in the consumer price index for the greater Montreal, Canada area.  On October 23, 2002, the Company sub-let 56,132 square feet of this facility in order to maximize facility efficiency and reduce expenses.  The sub-lease ends on November 30, 2008.


The Company believes that its current facilities are satisfactory for its present needs and that its insurance coverage is adequate for the premises.


Item 3.


Legal Proceedings:


On November 30, 1995, an involuntary petition under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code was filed against Grand Group Inc, a United States subsidiary, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Proceeding”).On January 4, 1996, the Court entered an order for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and a trustee was appointed to supervise the liquidation of Grand Group Inc.  To date, no other proceedings have occurred in connection with the Bankruptcy.


See Note 16 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, which is an exhibit to this report for a complete description of material legal proceedings to which the Company is presently a party.  Other than discussed above or in Note 16 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is not a party to, nor is it aware of, any other pending litigation of a material nature.

On March 29, 2004, the last reported sales price for the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $3.19 per share.


On January 9, 2004, the Company was advised by Nasdaq that it failed to meet the requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ for failure to hold its 2003 Annual Meeting by December 31, 2003, and that its securities were therefore subject to delisting from the Nasdaq small cap market.  Grand appealed the Nasdaq Staff Determination and the delisting of Grand’s shares has been delayed pending the outcome of the hearing which was held on February 19, 2004.


The Nasdaq Staff’s delisting determination was expected and came after Grand requested a waiver of the requirements to solicit proxies and hold a 2003 Annual Meeting.  Grand believes that it was acting in the best interests of its shareholders in deferring the Annual Meeting.  During most of 2003, Grand was engaged in ongoing discussions regarding the previously announced proposed acquisition of Hong Kong-based Playwell International Limited from Centralink Investments Limited and the related reincorporation of Grand in Hong Kong. The acquisition, the reincorporation and the other transactions to be carried out in connection with the acquisition and the reincorporation, require shareholder approval.  As a result, Grand’s Board determined to wait until the agreement with Centralink was finalized before soliciting proxies and holding Grand’s 2003 Annual Meeting to avoid the expense of holding two meetings.  This would have been the case if Grand held its Annual Meeting in late spring, as Grand has historically done.


The delisting determination resulted from the fact that the Centralink agreement took longer to finalize than originally anticipated.  The agreement was not signed until November 14, 2003 making it impossible to solicit proxies and hold the Annual Meeting in 2003 as required under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules for continued listing.


In order to meet the compliance requirements set forth by Nasdaq, Grand has held the 2003 annual meeting on March 23, 2004, and the results are found in Item 4.


On March 22, 2004, the Company was notified by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel that Grand’s shares would not be delisted for failing to hold its 2003 Annual Meeting if it demonstrates before March 25, 2004 that it has complied with the Annual Meeting requirement. Having duly held its meeting on March 23, 2004, and advised Nasdaq of the results, Grand believes that it has met the Panel’s requirements for continued listing.  At the Annual Meeting, all of Grand’s incumbent directors were re-elected and KPMG was ratified as Grand’s auditors for its 2003 fiscal year.


The Nasdaq Panel also advised Grand that its proposed acquisition of Playwell would require a new listing application for the trading of ADRs of Grand’s new Hong Kong Holding Company after the Playwell acquisition. However, based upon the information available to Grand which was provided to the Nasdaq Panel, both Grand and the Panel are of the opinion that Grand’s new Hong Kong Holding Company will likely satisfy all requirements for initial listing upon consummation of the transaction.A new listing application for the ADRs of Grand’s new Hong Kong Holding Company will be filed before April 15, 2004 and diligently pursued pending the completion of the Playwell acquisition.


There can be no assurance that Grand will be able to meet the requirements for continued listing or that Grand could successfully appeal a delisting determination.  If Grand’s shares were delisted, Grand might be able to have its shares listed for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or other market.  However, the failure to have Grand’s shares quoted on the Nasdaq market would likely have an adverse impact on the price and liquidity of Grand’s shares and Grand’s ability to obtain financing in the future.


At February 23, 2004 there were approximately 200 record holders of the Company’s Common Stock, however those shares being held at various clearing houses, including Cede & Company and have not been broken down.  Accordingly, the Company believes there are many more beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Stock whose shares are held in “street name”, not in the name of the individual shareholder.


During the past two years the Company has not paid and has no current plans to pay dividends on its Common Stock.  The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, for use in its business.  Any dividends for Common Stock that may be declared in the future will be determined by the Board of Directors based upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operation, market conditions and other factors that the Board deems relevant.


The following securities were issued by the Company during the last quarter of December 31, 2003, and were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).


On November 24, 2003 2,520,000 shares were issued upon the exercise of 2,520,000 warrants.


The sale and issuance of securities in the transactions described set forth above were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation S promulgated thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Item 7.


Management’s Discussion and Analysis:


The following should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.


Overview


For the years 2002 and 2001, the Company disclosed in its audited financial statements that it had certain issues which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The reasons cited were the Company’s recurring losses and the cancellation of its line of credit in 2000.This was also noted in KPMG’s audit report on those financial statements.  During 2002, the Company increased its credit facility, reduced its losses, and implemented a restructuring plan to return to profitability.  At this time, based on 2004 forecasts, the current credit facility appears to be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs through the end of the 2004 fiscal year.

For the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company reported net earnings of $1,112,577. Net losses of $826,848 and $1,371,492 were reported for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Prior to the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had not reported an annual profit since December 31, 1997.As a result of the restructuring plan put in place and management’s focus on the sale of products with higher profit margins, profitability has been achieved. In spite of this, there can be no assurance that the Company will remain profitable on an annual basis.

On November 14, 2003, Grand, Genius Glory Limited, a Hong Kong limited company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grand International Limited (“Grand HK”), and Centralink Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited company (“Centralink”), entered into a Subscription and Exchange Agreement (the “Subscription and Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other matters;

Under the terms of the Subscription and Exchange Agreement, Grand will undertake a corporate reorganization pursuant to which Grand and its operating subsidiaries will become subsidiaries of Grand HK, with each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of Grand being converted into one American Depositary Receipt (“ADRs”) representing one Ordinary Share of Grand HK, and each outstanding option and warrant to purchase Grand Common Stock being converted into one option or warrant to purchase Grand HK ADRs representing one Ordinary Share of Grand HK;

In addition to the reorganization, Grand HK will acquire from Centralink all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Playwell International Limited, a Hong Kong limited company (“Playwell”), in exchange for the issuance to Centralink of 5,000,000 Grand HK ADRs representing 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares of Grand HK.Playwell is a holding company which owns four subsidiaries:  Hong Kong Toy Center Limited, a trading company which manufactures products designed by customers and Playwell branded items; Gatelink Mould Engineering Limited, a manufacturer of moulds for Playwell; Great Wall Alliance Limited, the holder of Playwell trademarks; and Asian World Enterprises Limited, the holder of licenses for Walt Disney Company and Crayola branded products.

In addition to the acquisition of the Playwell shares, pursuant to the Subscription and Exchange Agreement, Centralink will also subscribe for 5,000,000 Grand HK ADRs for cash and other consideration totaling $11,000,000.



Net sales consist of sales of products to customers after deduction of customer cash discounts, freight and warehouse allowances, and volume rebate allowances.  Sales are recorded when the merchandise is shipped.


The cost of goods sold for products imported as finished goods includes the cost of the product in the appropriate domestic currency, duty and other taxes, and freight and brokerage charges.  Royalties payable to Grand’s licensor-vendors which are not contingent upon the subsequent sales of the licensor-vendors’ products are included in the price paid for such products.


Major components of selling, general and administrative expenses include: payroll and fringe benefits; advertising expense, which includes the cost of production of television commercials and the cost of air time; advertising allowances paid to customers for cooperative advertising programs; and royalty expenses.  Royalties include payments by Grand Canada to licensors of character properties and to manufacturers of toy products if such payments are contingent upon subsequent sales of the products.  Royalties are usually a percentage of the price at which the product is sold and are payable once a sale is made.

The pricing of the Company’s goods is affected by the price it obtains from its vendors (Cost of Goods Sold) and therefore dictates the selling price the Company can charge its customers. Other factors that influence the Company’s setting of the selling price is the condition of the current market and the nature of the item itself. 

From a selling, general and administrative aspect, the pricing will impact selling (commission expense) and general and administrative (advertising expense). In addition, if a lower selling price is set then the related margin on the product will be reduced and therefore the Company will look to rationalize other expenses, i.e. customer term packages.

Accounts receivable are receivables net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The allowance is adjusted periodically to reflect the current status of receivables.  Management believes that current reserves for doubtful accounts are adequate.  ales of products to retailers and distributors are on an irrevocable basis.  Consistent with industry practices, Grand Canada may make exceptions to this policy on a case-by-case negotiated basis.  Inventory is comprised of finished goods at landed cost.


All amounts are in U.S. Dollars ($) unless otherwise noted.

On a monthly basis management reviews its inventory of products and makes an assessment of its realizable value. The factors considered include current market prices, the demand for and the seasonality of its products. If circumstances change (i.e. unexpected shift in market demand, pricing, trends etc.) there could be a material impact on the net realizable value of inventory.


Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2003 to the year ended December 31, 2002


Net Loss:


Net earnings for 2003 was $1,112,577, or $0.36 earnings per share, as compared to a net loss of $826,848, or $(0.40) loss per share in 2002.Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2003, included a gain of $497,800 on the sale of discontinued operations.  Without this gain, the Company would have realized a net earnings of $614,777 or $0.20 earnings per share.


Increased gross profit and the recognition of the gain on the sale of Sababa Toys Inc., resulted in net earnings for the year as compared to 2002.


Net Sales:


Net sales decreased by $1,263,021 in 2003, or by 10.24%, to $11,076,909 from $12,339,930 for 2002. Net sales decreased primarily as a result of the decline in the following product lines: Spiderman and Lord of the Rings (Toybiz and Playwell), Blopens (P & M Products Ltd.).These decreases are due to a shift in buying patterns of the retailers, such as the direct purchase from the vendor and the loss of product line distribution as a result of purchase by a competitor. The net sales of new product lines such as Art X-press, Astrojax and Hulk helped to offset the decrease in net sales from other product lines.


Gross Profit:


Gross profit for the Company in 2003 increased by $710,629 compared to 2002.As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased in 2003 from 32.55% to 42.67%.The increased gross profit in 2003 was due to the addition of higher margin product lines as a result of better pricing and tighter inventory controls.


General and Administrative Expenses:


General and administrative expenses decreased by $94,169 to $2,761,947, in 2003 from $2,856,116 in 2002, as a result of the cost-cutting measures implemented.


During 2003, the following expenses increased:


Advertising expense increased by $247,871 as a result of additional expense related to the promotion of new and existing product lines.


Insurance expense increased by $73,335 as a result of the increase in insurance premiums; and


Consulting expense increased by $92,240 as a result of one-time consulting charge of $60,000.


As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.79% from 23.14% in 2002 to 24.93% in 2003, due to the net sales reduction.


Gain on Discontinued Operation:


On June 14, 2002, the Company sold all of the shares of its Sababa Toys, Inc. subsidiary to Sababa Global Consumer Products, LLC. Sababa Toys, Inc. distributes proprietary products and develops product concepts to be sold to third parties.  In consideration for the purchase of the shares, the Company received a note in the principal amount of $1,065,716.Payments under the note are to be made quarterly until June 30, 2005 when the unpaid principal balance is due.  The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $761,584, of which $497,800 has been recorded in the Statement of Operations.  As of December 31, 2003, the balance of the gain has been fully recorded in income.


Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2002 to the year ended December 31, 2001


Net Loss:


Net loss for 2002 was $826,848, or $(0.40) loss per share, as compared to a net loss of $1,371,492, or $(1.16) loss per share in 2001.However, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002, included a gain of $263,784 on the sale of discontinued operations, offset by a $66,492 loss from the operations of discontinued operations.  Without this gain, the Company would have incurred a net loss of $(1,024,140) or $(0.50) per share.


Increased gross profit and the recognition of the gain on the sale of Sababa Toys Inc., resulted in the significant decrease in the net loss for the year as compared to 2001.The Company will have until 2008 to apply unutilized tax losses against future taxable income.


Net Sales:


Net sales increased by $4,061,595, or by 49.06%, to $12,339,930 from $8,278,335 for 2001. Net sales increased primarily as a result of the success in the following product lines: Spiderman and Lord of the Rings (Toybiz and Playwell), Blopens (P & M Products Ltd.).


Gross Profit:


Gross profit for the Company in 2002 increased by $1,484,501.As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased in 2002 from 30.58% to 32.55% as a result of the sales mix in the product line. The increased gross profit in 2002 also was attributable to the Company’s continued emphasis on higher margin sales.


As part of the Company’s 2002 restructuring plan, the Company abandoned the manufacturing and selling of certain of its proprietary product lines.  In doing so the Company incurred $125,247 in expenses relating to write-offs of deferred product development and $94,350 in negative margin due to reduced selling prices as a result of the decrease in customer interest.


In addition, commissions on FOB sales increased as compared to the same period of 2001, by 7.25% because our sales relating to the product line, Toys Biz increased by 169% over the same period in 2001.


General and Administrative Expenses:


General and administrative expenses decreased by $23,858 to $2,856,116, in 2002 from $2,879,974 in 2001.As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by 11.65% from 34.79% in 2001 to 23.14% in 2002.


One time charges incurred as a result of the implementation of the Company’s restructuring plan resulted in a total expense of $417,494.  In 2002, the Company closed two locations and reduced head count through employee and contract terminations.  In line with the restructuring plan, the Company discontinued the manufacture of certain proprietary licensed products.

In 2002, the Company incurred $412,350 in financing expenses comprised of finance charges of$332,320 included in general and administrative expenses and $80,030 in interest expenses., as a result of the high cost of financing through the Company’s lender.  In addition, the Company incurred significant legal charges of $246,758, relating to the settlement of legal issues, the filing of registration statements, financing documents and handling the NASDAQ de-listing issue.


Based on the above, the Company has determined that of the total general and administrative expenses, $516,479 are of non-recurring nature.


Gain on Discontinued Operation:


On June 14, 2002, the Company sold all of the shares of its Sababa Toys, Inc. subsidiary to Sababa Global Consumer Products, LLC. Sababa Toys, Inc. distributes proprietary products and develops product concepts to be sold to third parties.  In consideration for the purchase of the shares, the Company received a note in the principal amount of $1,065,716.Payments under the note are to be made quarterly until June 30, 2005 when the unpaid principal balance is due.  The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $761,584, of which $263,784 has been recorded in the Statement of Operations.  The balance of the gain has been deferred and will be recorded in income on a proportionate basis as the proceeds from the note receivable are received.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company generally finances its operations through borrowings under its line of credit facility with Montcap Financial Inc., and by cash flow from operations.  In the past, it has also supplemented those sources through the sales of equity securities.


In May 2002, the Company increased the maximum availability under its lines of credit to $2,700,000 from $1,569,563.


Accounts receivable at December 31, 2003 were $1,598,907 compared to $1,866,110 at December 31, 2002.The sales were mainly to mass retailers. Inventory at December 31, 2003 increased to $1,682,298 from $1,148,220 at December 31, 2002. The increase in inventory was based on customer’s estimates of purchases for 2004.


Working capital increased to $3,495,070 at December 31, 2003 from $1,574,709 at December 31, 2002.Net cash provided by operating activities was $615,521 in 2003 compared to cash used for operating activities of $1,103,861 in 2002.Cash for additions to equipment and leasehold improvements was $9,105 in 2003 compared to $20,161 in 2002.


The Company’s accounts receivable level is subject to significant seasonal variations due to the seasonality of sales.  As a result, the Company’s working capital requirements are greatest during its third and fourth quarters.  In addition, to the extent accounts receivable, inventories, guarantees and advance payments increase as a result of growth of the Company’s business, the Company could require additional working capital to fund its operations  .Sources of such funding include cash flow from operations, drawings on the financing facilities, or sales of additional equity or debt securities by the Company.


If the funds available to the Company from current cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs, the Company may from time to time seek to raise capital from additional sources, including project-specific financing, additional public or private debt or equity financing.


The Company believes that in order to achieve its long-term expansion objectives and to enhance its competitive position in the U.S. market, the Company will need additional financial resources over the next several years. The precise amount and timing of its future financing needs cannot be determined at this time and will depend upon a number of factors, including the demand for the Company’s products and the management of its working capital.  The Company believes its proposed acquisition of Playwell will provide it with access to significant capital.  However, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.  If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital, it could be required to curtail its expansion plans.

Risk Factors


A few customers account for a large portion of the Company’s net sales and a substantial reduction in or termination of orders from its large customers could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations


The Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 49% and 60% of its net sales in 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Except for outstanding purchase orders for specific products, the Company does not have written contracts with or commitments from any of its customers.  A substantial reduction in or termination of orders from any of its largest customers could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, pressure by large customers seeking a reduction in prices, financial incentives, a change in other terms of sale or on the Company to bear the risks and the cost of carrying inventory could also adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


The loss of the Company’s right to distribute Toy Biz products would have a material adverse affect on its business, financial condition and results of operations


Grand has operated without a written distribution agreement with Toy Biz Worldwide Ltd. since 2001. However, it has continued to distribute the product lines carried by Toy Biz during 2002 and 2003 and has accepted orders from Toy Biz in 2004.  Because Toy Biz is affiliated with Playwell, Grand’s management believes that its relationship with Toy Biz will continue past 2004 if the Playwell acquisition is consummated.  However, if the Playwell acquisition is consummated, or even if it is, there can be no assurance that Grand will be able to retain the right to distribute the Toy Biz product line or, even if Grand does retain this right, that any of the products in this branded product line will retain their current popularity.  The loss of Grand’s distribution rights for any of these product lines or the decrease in the popularity of any one of these branded product lines would adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.



Doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern could have a material adverse effect on its stock price and the liquidity of its shares


In Grand’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, it recognized that it had certain issues which raised substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. The reasons cited were its recurring losses and the insufficiency of its line of credit to fund its operations. This was noted in KPMG's audit report on those financial statements. In mid-2002, Grand implemented a plan to stem its losses and return to profitability and, at that time, secured an increase in its line of credit. These efforts led to Grand’s return to profitability in 2003 and the absence of any going concern limitation in KPMG’s audit report on Grand’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. However, there can be no assurance that Grand will be able to sustain profitability and if it cannot, whether Grand would be able to operate as a going concern.


Grand has a history of losses which makes sustained profitability uncertain

Although Grand had net earnings of $1,112,577 for the year ended December 31, 2003, it incurred net losses of $826,848 and $1,371,492 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively and had not reported an annual profit since the year ended December 31, 1997. Grand believes that its return to profitability in 2003 resulted form it recent focus on the distribution of products with higher profit margins and the reduction in expenses. Although these efforts were successful in 2003, Grand cannot be sure that its efforts will result in continued profitability on an annual basis in the future.


An inability to obtain additional financing could adversely impact the Company’s ability to expand into the U.S. market


Grand believes that in order to achieve its long-term expansion objectives and to enhance its competitive position in the U.S. market, it will need additional financial resources over the next several years. The precise amount and timing of its future financing needs cannot be determined at this time and will depend upon a number of factors, including the demand for its products and the management of its working capital. Grand may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If Grand is unable to obtain sufficient capital, it could be required to curtail its expansion plans.


The Company’s shares may not continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap Stock Market which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of its stock and its ability to obtain financing in the future


On January 9, 2004, Grand was advised by Nasdaq that it failed to meet the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq for failure to hold its 2003 Special meeting by December 31, 2003, and that its securities were therefore subject to delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market. Grand successfully appealed the Nasdaq Staff Determination and Grand’s shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market. However, Grand’s most recent appeal was the second time in the last three years that it was subject to potential delisting. There can be no assurance that Grand will be able to continue to meet the requirements for continued listing or that Grand could successfully appeal a delisting determination. If Grand’s shares were delisted, Grand might be able to have its shares listed for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or other market. However, the failure to have Grand’s shares quoted on the Nasdaq market would likely have an adverse impact on the price and liquidity of Grand’s shares and Grand’s  ability to obtain financing in the future.


The Company’s management exercises substantial control over its business


As of February 2, 2004, the Company’s directors and executive officers beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 2,032,823 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 38% of the common stock outstanding.  Accordingly, if these persons act together, they exercise significant control over matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election of the Company’s board of directors.


The Company may not be able to retain the key personnel it need to succeed

Grand’s success is dependent on the expertise, experience and continued services of its senior management employees. Most decisions concerning Grand’s business are made or significantly influenced by them. Grand does not maintain "key man" insurance on the life of any of these persons. In the event of the loss of any of its senior management employees, no assurances can be given that Grand will be able to obtain the services of an adequate replacement.


The issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of options and warrants will cause dilution to the Company’s current stockholders and the prevailing market price for its common stock may be materially and adversely affected by the addition of a substantial number of shares


The Company is authorized to issue 12,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 5,355,244 shares are outstanding.  In addition:


(a)

213,464 shares are issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding options granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan the sale of a portion of which have been registered on a registration statement on Form S-8;

(b)

196,000 shares are issuable upon the exercise of options granted outside our 1993 Stock Option Plan; and

(c)

637,143 shares are issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants.


If and when these options are exercised, the new shares will cause the percentage of common stock owned by each stockholder to be diluted.  Moreover, the prevailing market price for the common stock may be materially and adversely affected by the addition of a substantial number of shares, into the market.


The Company’s attempts to acquire other companies may not prove fruitful and could have an adverse effect on its liquidity and earnings


The Company may, at times, become involved in discussions about acquiring other companies.  Its experience in the past has been that this process takes a significant amount of management time and effort.  New acquisition discussions will likely distract the Company’s management from its day-to-day operations.  Even if the Company does find companies that are worth acquiring, such as its pending acquisition of Playwell, it may be extremely difficult to integrate their operations into its existing operations.  In addition, there is no guaranty that its acquisitions will be successfully completed or, if completed will be financially successful.  Thus, any such acquisition could have an adverse effect on its liquidity and earnings.


The life cycle for toy products is usually very short and the Company’s business may be adversely affected by its inability to secure the right to distribute new products


As a result of changing consumer preferences, many toy products are successfully marketed for only one or two years.  There can be no assurances that


any of the current products or product lines distributed by the Company will continue to be popular for any significant period of time;

any new products or product lines subsequently distribute by the Company will achieve an adequate degree of market acceptance; or

any new product’s life cycle will be sufficient to permit the Company to recover development, manufacturing, marketing or other costs of the product.


In the event a new product does not receive sufficient market acceptance, the Company may be required to sell inventory of such products at a substantial discount.  Accordingly, the Company’s success is dependent in large part on its ability to secure the rights to distribute new products and to secure new character and well-known brand name licenses for existing or new product lines, which cannot be assured.  Therefore, the Company cannot assume that any new products will be successful or meet with the same success as existing products.


Consumer preferences are difficult to predict and the introduction of new products is critical to the toy industry

Grand’s business and operating results depend largely upon the appeal of its toy products. A decline in the popularity of its existing products and product lines or the failure of new products and product lines to achieve and sustain market acceptance could result in reduced overall revenues and margins, which could have a material adverse effect on Grand’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Grand’s continued success will depend on its ability to redesign, restyle and extend its existing toy and fashion accessory products and to develop, introduce and gain customer acceptance of new products. However consumer preferences with respect to toy products and fashion accessories are continuously changing and are difficult to predict.


Certain relationships among the Company’s management and affiliates create various potential and actual conflicts of interest and could adversely affect the Company’s business


Although it is the Company’s policy that all transactions with and loans to its affiliates be made on similar terms to those that can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and for such transactions to be approved by a majority of the Company’s directors who do not have an interest in the transaction, certain situations may arise in the future where an interested party would be required to vote on actions that could benefit such person and negatively impact Grand, or vice versa.


Non-compliance with certain Canadian government regulations could seriously harm our business


Most of the Company’s business is currently conducted in Canada.  The Company is subject to the provisions of various laws, certain of which have been enacted by the federal government of Canada, the Province of Quebec and other Canadian provinces.  The laws of Canada include the Hazardous Products Act which empowers the Canadian government to protect children from hazardous toys and other articles.  Under that legislation, the government has the authority to exclude from the market those products which are found to be hazardous.  The Company is also subject to the Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act enacted by the government of Canada.  This legislation prohibits the importation of prepackaged items and the sale or importation or advertising of items which have misleading information on their labels.  As a result, if any of these Canadian governmental entities should allege that any of the Company’s products are hazardous to children or the packaging is misleading, whether or not such items are dangerous or misleading, the Company could be precluded from distributing entire lines of toys until a full investigation is completed.  In such case, even if the Company prevails, a significant portion of the value of the entire line could be lost during a time-consuming investigation because, as discussed above, the life cycle for toy products is usually very short.


The Company faces substantial competition in the toy distribution industry


Many other companies involved in the toy distribution industry in Canada and the United States have greater financial resources, larger sales forces, greater name recognition, larger facilities for product development and products that may be more competitively priced than the Company’s products.  As a result, some of the Company’s competitors may be able to obtain a greater volume of and more lucrative distribution contracts than the Company can.


The Company may be adversely effected by the seasonal aspect of its business


The Company’s business is seasonal and, therefore, its annual operating results will depend, in large part, on its sales during the relatively brief holiday season from September through December when the majority of its sales take place.  Further, the impact of seasonality is increasing as large retailers become more efficient in their control of inventory levels through quick response management techniques.  Rather than maintaining large on-hand inventories throughout the year to meet consumer demand, these customers are timing reorders so that they are being filled by suppliers closer to the time of purchase by retail customers, which to a large extent occur during September through December.  While these techniques reduce a retailer's investment in inventory, they increase pressure on suppliers like the Company to fill orders promptly and shift a significant portion of inventory risk and carrying costs to the supplier.  The limited inventory carried by retailers may also reduce or delay retail sales.  Additionally, the logistics of supplying more and more product within shorter time periods will increase the risk that the Company may fail to achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules.  This seasonal pattern requires significant use of working capital mainly to manufacture inventory during the year, prior to the holiday season, and requires accurate forecasting of demand for products during the holiday season.  The Company’s failure to accurately predict and respond to consumer demand could result in its under-producing popular items and overproducing less popular items.


The market price of the Company’s common stock has been and will continue to be volatile


Market prices of the securities of toy companies are often volatile and the Company’s historical stock price has reflected this volatility.  The market price of the Company’s common stock may be affected by many factors, including: fluctuations in our financial results; the actions of its customers and competitors (including new product line announcements and introductions); new regulations affecting foreign manufacturing; other factors affecting the toy industry in general; and sales of its common stock into the public market  In addition, the stock market periodically has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.


The issuance of “blank check” preferred stock may also impact the value of the Company’s shares


The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, which is preferred stock that may be issued from time to time in such classes or series and with such terms, rights and preferences as the board of directors may choose. All of these shares may be issued at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, without the approval of its stockholders, with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which could negatively affect the voting power or other rights of owners of the Company’s common stock or other series of preferred stock.


The Company’s ability to issue “blank check” preferred stock could prevent or delay takeovers


The Company’s preferred stock can be designated in a manner that could delay or impede a merger, tender offer or other transactions resulting in a change in control, even if such a transaction would have significant benefits to the Company’s stockholders.  As a result, these provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company’s common stock.


The Company does not expect to pay dividends on its stock


The Company has not paid any cash or other dividends on its common stock and does not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  In addition, its current credit agreement with its bank restricts the payment of any dividends without the bank’s prior consent.


Effects Of Inflation


The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations in the past three years.


New Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has determined that the new pronouncements effective in the year 2003 will not have a significant impact on the financial statements.


Item 7a.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:


The Company is exposed to certain market risks, which arise from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. The Company’s primary exposures are changes in interest rates with respect to its debt and foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company believes that its exposure is immaterial.


INTEREST RATE RISK The interest payable on the Company’s revolving lines-of-credit are variable based on the prime rate, and therefore, affected by changes in market interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.


FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

 While the Company’s product purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars, most transactions among the suppliers and subcontractors are effected in Hong Kong dollars.  The exchange rate for the Hong Kong dollar is currently fixed against the U.S. dollar.  If this changes in the future fluctuations in Hong Kong monetary rates may have an impact on the Company’s cost of goods.  Furthermore, appreciation of Chinese currency values relative to the Hong Kong dollar could increase the cost to the Company of the products manufactured in the People’s Republic of China, and thereby have a negative impact on the Company.  Since the majority of the Company’s sales are in Canadian dollars, the Company is at risk with regards to the conversion of Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars to pay its suppliers.  Therefore, fluctuations in the conversion rate may have an impact on the Company.  The Company may use derivative financial instruments solely to hedge the effects of such currency fluctuations.

Item 9a.


Controls and Procedures


 The Company’s senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as other key members of the Company’s management, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.


No change occurred in the Company’s internal controls concerning financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting..

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation


General. The Compensation Committee is composed of non-employee directors who review recommendations as to senior executive officer compensation which, upon the approval of the Compensation Committee, are submitted to the Board of Directors.  The members of the Compensation Committee also administer the Stock Option Plan of the Company under which options have been granted on a discretionary basis to senior executive officers.  The Compensation Committee's overall compensation policy applicable to executive officers is to provide a compensation package that is intended to attract and retain qualified executives for us and to provide them with incentives to achieve our goals and increase shareholder value.  The Compensation Committee implements this policy through salaries, bonuses, stock options, a retirement savings plan, and employment agreements and miscellaneous personal benefits.


CEO Compensation.Mr. Altro is the Acting CEO and has held this position since June 2002. Mr. Altro received in consulting income $43,930 in 2003.


Salaries. The Compensation Committee's policy is to provide salaries (i) that are approximately at the median of the salaries paid to similar executive officers in similar companies, adjusted in the Compensation Committee's subjective judgment to reflect differences in duties of the officers and differences in the size and stage of development of the companies, in order to attract and retain qualified executives and (ii) that compensate individual employees for their individual contributions and performance.


The Compensation Committee determines comparable salaries paid by other companies similar to us through its subjective evaluation of its members' knowledge of salaries paid by other companies, salary requests of individuals interviewed by us for open positions and recommendations of management.


Bonuses. The Compensation Committee's policy is to recommend bonuses that compensate executive officers for achieving our goals.In addition, the Compensation Committee's policy is to pay discretionary bonuses, determined near the end of the fiscal year, to compensate executive officers for performance or achievements during the fiscal year not covered by bonuses paid earlier in the year.


Stock Options. The Compensation Committee's policy is to award stock options to each of our officers, employees and directors in amounts reflecting the participant's position and ability to influence our overall performance, determined based on the Committee's subjective judgment after reviewing the number of options previously granted to such person, the number of options granted to persons in similar positions both with us and at other companies deemed comparable to us (based on the members' knowledge of options granted by other companies), the number of options remaining available for grant and management's recommendations.


Options are intended to provide participants with an increased incentive to make contributions to our long-term performance and growth, to join the interests of participants with the interests of our shareholders and to attract and retain qualified employees.  The number of options granted to an executive in 2003 were granted as an inducement for employment.


The Compensation Committee's policy is to grant options with a term of ten years to provide a long-term incentive and to fix the exercise price of the options at the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Such options only provide compensation if the price of the underlying shares increases.  The Committee's policy is also to provide new executives with options to attract them to us based on negotiations with new executives, management's recommendations and the Committee's subjective judgment primarily after reviewing the number of options granted to similar executives.


Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally provides that publicly held companies may not deduct compensation paid to certain of its top executive officers to the extent such compensation exceeds $1 million per officer in any year. However, pursuant to regulations issued by the Treasury Department, certain limited exemptions to Section 162(m) apply with respect to "qualified performance-based compensation." The Company is currently monitoring the applicability of Section 162(m) to its ongoing compensation arrangements. The Company does not expect that amounts of compensation paid to its executive officers will fail to be deductible by reason of Section 162(m).

Retirement Savings Plan. During the year the Company added a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP) to its existing Group Retirement Savings Plan (GRSP) for its Canadian employees. Since December 2003, the Company contributes to the DPSP plan the lesser of (a) 50% of the employee's contribution to this plan; (b) 3% of the employee's gross earnings; or (c) Canadian $3,000 per employee.  Prior to the creation of the DPSP, the Company contributed to the GRSP.  For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company contributed a total of US $23,000, of which approximately $18,000 was contributed to the GRSP and $5,000 to the DPSP.


Employment Agreements and Miscellaneous Personal Benefits.  The Compensation Committee's policy has been to have employment agreements with each of its executive officers to provide them with specified minimum positions, periods of employment, salaries, fringe benefits and severance benefits, although there are no agreements at this time. These benefits are intended to permit the executive officer to focus his attention on performing his duties to us, rather than on the security of his employment, and to provide the officer with benefits deemed by the Compensation Committee to be suitable for the executive's office.


This report is provided in accordance with federal securities law requirements and is not intended to create any contractually binding employment rights for the benefit of any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its chief executive officer and senior financial officers, a copy of which will be provided upon written request to Tania M. Clarke, 1710 Route Transcanadienne, Dorval, Quebec, Canada, H9P 1H7.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations from the executive officers and directors, the Company believes that all reports were timely made for the year ended December 31, 2003, with the exception of the following:


During the fiscal 2003, the following individuals were late with their Form 4 filings: David Mars and Stephen Altro did not make a timely filing in connection with the exercise of 585,000 and 600,000 warrants held by Mr Mars and Mr Altro respectively; Michael Selzter did not make a timely filing in connection with the purchase of 3,214 shares of common stock of the Company.

In the event that Centralink or any of its Affiliates should be required by Law to disclose any of such Confidential Information, Centralink will promptly notify Grand in writing so that Grand may seek a protective Order to prevent the production or disclosure of such Confidential Information.  If such Order or Action has been denied or dismissed, then Centralink or its Affiliate, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information: (i) which in the written opinion of Centralink’s outside legal counsel is required by Law to be disclosed, provided, however, that Centralink will in such case use all commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the remainder of the Confidential Information; or (ii) which Grand consents, in writing, to having disclosed.  Neither Centralink nor any of its Affiliates will, nor will they not permit any of their Representatives to, oppose any motion for a protective Order brought by Grand or the Company.  Centralink will continue to be bound by its obligations pursuant to this Section as to any Confidential Information the disclosure of which is not permitted under this Section or which is covered by a protective Order.

by mutual written consent of Grand US, Grand HK and Centralink;

by Grand US or Centralink pursuant to Section ;

(i) by Grand US if satisfaction of any of the conditions contained in Article X of this Agreement becomes impossible, other than through the failure of Grand US or Grand HK to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, and Grand US and Grand HK have not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date; or (ii) by Centralink if satisfaction of any of the conditions contained in Article IX of this Agreement becomes impossible, other than through the failure of Centralink to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, and Centralink has not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date;

by either Grand US or Centralink if the other Party has committed a material breach of this Agreement and such breach has not been waived.

Effect of Termination.

Termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section  will terminate all obligations of the Parties hereunder except for those covenants and obligations contained in Sections ,  and  and this Section ; provided, however, that termination by either Party (the “Terminating Party”) pursuant to clause (c), (d) or (e) of Section  will not relieve a Party in material breach of its obligations hereunder (the “Breaching Party”) for any Liability to the Terminating Party with respect to such breach.

If either Grand US or Centralink should terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section , then as Centralink’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, Grand US shall pay to Centralink, within three (3) business days, the greater of the following amounts:

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

Survival

. Notwithstanding any right of either Party to fully investigate the affairs of the other Party (and, in the case of Grand, of the Company) and any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by such Party pursuant to such investigation or right of investigation, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other Party contained in this Agreement, or listed or disclosed on any Schedule hereto or in any other Transaction Document shall survive the Closing.  All covenants, agreements and Closing certifications made by the Parties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder.  All of the representations and warranties made by the Parties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that there shall be no termination of any such representation or warranty as to which a claim has been asserted prior to the termination of such survival period, provided further, that the representations and warranties made by Centralink in Section 3.11(h) and Section 3.11(k)-(m) shall survive for the applicable Tax law statute of limitations period plus 10 days.

Indemnification

.  

Subject to Section , each Party (the “Indemnitor”) agrees, promptly upon the determination of Damages, to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (the “Indemnitees”), from and against all Damages resulting, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty made by the Indemnitor in this Agreement or any agreement or instrument delivered in connection with the Transaction without giving effect to any supplement or amendment to the Schedules or other notice delivered or required to be delivered pursuant to Section ;

any breach of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Indemnitor contained in this Agreement; and

any hazard or defect, or alleged hazard or defect, in the manufacture, design, material or workmanship of any product (including any part or component) shipped or manufactured by, or services provided by, the Indemnitor or any Subsidiary of the Indemnitor prior to the Closing Date.

Centralink agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Grand, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Damages resulting, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (i)  to the extent that such Taxes exceed the Taxes which are included as a current liability in the Latest Company Balance Sheet, any and all Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, including taxes required to be withheld, but excluding Taxes for which reserves have been established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income and (ii) except for Taxes payable by Grand HK pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, any and all Taxes imposed upon or assessed against any of Grand HK, the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or their respective assets as a result of the transfer to Grand HK of the Company Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

Procedure for Indemnification.

Third Party Claims.

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Action by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to any matter for which indemnification is or may be owing pursuant to Section , the Indemnitee will give notice thereof to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim has been actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to give such notice.

If any Action referred to in Section 2(b) is brought against an Indemnitee and it gives notice to the Indemnitor of the commencement of such Action, the Indemnitor will, unless the Action involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Action, and (unless (x) the Indemnitor is also a party to such Action and the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate upon the advice of outside counsel that a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor with respect to such Action, or (y) the Indemnitor fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend such Action and provide indemnification with respect to such Action) may assume the defense of such Action with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee and, after notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Action, the Indemnitor will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee under this Article XII for any fees of other counsel with respect to the defense of such Action, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Action.

If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of an Action, (x) no compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim or Action may be effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and the compromise or settlement will have no effect on, or provide, grounds for the basis of, any other Third Party Claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor; and (y) the Indemnitee will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Claims or Action effected without Indemnitee’s consent.  Notwithstanding the assumption by the Indemnitor of the defense of any Claim or Action as provided in this Section (b), the Indemnitee will be permitted to join in such defense and to employ counsel at its own expense.  If notice pursuant to Section (b) is given to an Indemnitee of the commencement of any Action and the Indemnitor does not, within ten (10) days after such Indemnitee’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Action, the Indemnitor will be bound by any determination made in such Action or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnitee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnitee determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an Action may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary Damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may, by notice to the Indemnitor, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Action, but the Indemnitor will not be bound by any determination of an Action so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

Indemnitor and Indemnitee agree to provide each other with reasonable access during regular business hours to the properties, Books and Records and Representatives of the other, as reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation for an existing or anticipated Action involving a Third Party Claim and its obligations with respect thereto pursuant to this Article XII.

Direct Claims.  Any claim by an Indemnitee for indemnification not involving a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by giving the Indemnitor notice thereof.  If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnitor disputes its Liability to the Indemnitee under Section , the claim specified by the Indemnitee in such notice will be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnitor under Section  and the Indemnitor will pay the amount of such Liability to the Indemnitee on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date as the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

Payment

.  With respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is payable hereunder, Indemnitor will pay Indemnitee promptly after (i) the entry of judgment against the Indemnitee and the expiration of any applicable appeal period; (ii) the entry of a non-appealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnitee; or (iii) the execution of any settlement agreement with respect to such Third Party Claim.  

Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge or Waiver

.

The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based upon breach of representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation.

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations.

Sole and Exclusive Remedy

.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of warranty or covenant, indemnification pursuant to this Article XII will be the exclusive remedy of each Party against the others for the matters subject to indemnification set forth in this Article XII and will be in lieu of other remedies with respect thereto.

Limitations on Liability

.

No Person seeking to be indemnified hereunder will be entitled to any recovery from the proposed Indemnitor unless a claim for indemnification, specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known, is made on or before the expiration of time period for survival set forth in Section .

Neither Party shall be liable to indemnify the other Party for Damages in excess of two million four hundred thousand United States dollars (US$2,400,000) or the equivalent thereof in other currencies with respect to a Direct Claim based upon the circumstances described in clause (i) of Section .  The foregoing limitation shall not apply to any claim for indemnification pursuant to either of clauses (ii) or (iii) of Section 12.02, with respect to any Third Party Claim or with respect to any Liability resulting from a breach of Sections 3.11(h) and Sections 3.11(k)-(m).

(i)

Grand HK shall have the right, at its option, to satisfy any Direct Claim subject to the limitation set forth in the first sentence of Section  by causing to be issued to Centralink that number of Grand ADRs which shall be equal, at the Market Price, to the amount of the Damages subject to indemnification.

(ii)

Centralink shall have the right, at its option, to satisfy any Direct Claim subject to the limitation set forth in the first sentence of Section  by surrendering to Grand HK that number of Grand ADRs which shall be equal, at the Market Price, to the amount of the Damages subject to indemnification.

Indemnification Threshold

.  In the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of warranty, the Liability of an Indemnitor with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section  shall not be payable unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages suffered or incurred by Indemnitee shall exceed one hundred fifty thousand United States dollars (US$150,000) or the equivalent thereof in other currencies, in which event the said amount shall be deducted from the actual amount of the Damages so suffered or incurred.



MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

If an Action is brought by a party to this Agreement for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party will be entitled to recover legal fees and costs incurred in that Action in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

Duties; Best Efforts; Indemnification.

Clarke shall have general supervision and control over, and responsibility for, the overall operations of Grand, including, but not limited to, the power to hire and fire all personnel, and shall have such other duties as customarily performed by the Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of a company of similar size engaged in the Business (as hereinafter defined) or a similar business.  Clarke shall also have such other powers and duties as may be from time to time prescribed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Grand, provided that the nature of Clarke's powers and duties so prescribed shall not be inconsistent with Clarke's position and duties hereunder.

(b)

During the Term, Clarke shall devote her full time and attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of Grand, shall devote his best efforts, energy and skill to advance the best interests of Grand.  During the Term it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Clarke to, (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (ii) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and (iii) manage personal investments and otherwise actively engage in other business activities, so long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of Clarke's responsibilities as an employee of Grand in accordance with this Agreement and are not competitive with the business of Grand.  It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by Clarke prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the date hereof shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of Clarke's responsibilities and duties.


(c)

Subject to the provisions of Grand's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended from time to time, Grand shall indemnify Clarke to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, as amended from time to time, for all amounts (including, without limitation, judgments, fines, settlement payments, expenses and attorney's fees) incurred or paid by Clarke in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to the performance by Clarke of services for, or the acting by Clarke as a director, officer or employee of, Grand, or any other person or enterprise at Grand's request the whole provided Clarke was not negligent or at fault  Grand shall use its best efforts to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the Term directors' and officers' liability insurance policies providing full and adequate protection to Clarke for her capacities, provided that the Board of Directors of Grand shall have no obligation to purchase such insurance if, in its opinion, coverage is available only on unreasonable terms.

(vi)

been convicted of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude, fraud or dishonest act;

provided, however, that, the cessation of employment of Clarke shall not be deemed to be for Cause pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above unless and until there shall have been delivered to Clarke a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after not less than 30 days notice is provided to Clarke and Clarke is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board or otherwise cure the actions constituting Cause), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Clarke is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.  For purposes of this Section 6(a), no act or failure to act, on the part of Clarke, shall be considered "willful,” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Clarke in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Clarke's action or omission was in the best interests of Grand.  Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for Grand shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Clarke in good faith and in the best interests of Grand.

For purposes of this Section 6(b), Clarke agrees to make herself available and to cooperate in any reasonable examination by a reputable independent physician retained by Grand.

(c)

By Clarke for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean:

(i)

the assignment to Clarke of any duties inconsistent in any respect with Clarke's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3 hereof, or any other action by Grand which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by Grand promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Clarke;

(ii)

any failure by Grand to comply with any of the provisions of Section 5, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by Grand promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Clarke;

(2)

Individuals who, immediately after the Commencement Date, constitute the Board of Grand (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of such Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Commencement Date whose election, or nomination for election by Grand's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or
