3. Findings Figure 1 shows shows the sales trends of Smart Kids toys in the USA, China, and Japan from 1990 to 1999.

3.1. China The Smart Kids toys suffered a decline of 50% from 1990 to 1992. Sales then leveled off in the following four years. However, this was followed by a steady increase in sales from HK$ 20 million to HK$ 60 million.

3.2. USA and Japan Smart Kids toys performed similarly in the first half of 1990s in both countries. In contrast to the finding in China, in the USA, sales increased constantly from 1990 to 1993. Sales in Japan remained at HK$ 20 million in 1990, followed by a rise of 100%. In 1994, sales in the USA and Japan both reached a peak of HK$ 50 million and HK$ 40 million respectively. After 1994, the sales in the USA fluctuated dramatically and even fell to the lowest point HK$ 20 million in 1998. Those of Japan dropped fairly sharply to one-forth of the peak and then leveled off at the bottom.

Good work
