 PROFILE
If your preteen has come down with "Pokemon" mania, thank (or blame) 4Kids Entertainment. The company makes nearly 75% of its sales by licensing rights to entertainment properties and personalities (including Nintendo's popular import) through its Leisure Concepts unit for use in games, toys, and apparel. Subsidiary The Summit Media Group provides media buying and TV distribution services for "Pokemon" and other TV shows. It also produces TV, film, and home video programming and designs Web sites for children. Toy giant Hasbro and film and TV producer Warner Brothers account for about 40% and 15%, respectively, of the company's sales. Chairman and CEO Alfred Kahn owns shares and options amounting to a 20% stake.
