NOTICE
OF
DELAYED 10-Q MISTAKENLY FILED WITH SEC BY FINANCIAL PRINTER
---
JAKKS’ 10-K Expected to File on Time ---
MALIBU,
Calif. - February 15, 2008 - JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ:
JAKK),
announced today that a Form NT 10-Q (Notification of Inability to Timely File
Form 10-Q) was mistakenly filed yesterday with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on our behalf. Such filing was intended to be made
on behalf of “Jpak Group, Inc.,” an entity having no relationship or other
affiliation with us, and was misfiled under our name due to an error made by
a
financial printer used by both Jpak Group, Inc. and us.
JAKKS
has
been advised by such financial printer that a correspondence will be immediately
submitted to the SEC by the financial printer explaining its mistake and
requesting the removal of the Form NT 10-Q from our filings. The financial
printer has further advised us that such removal may take several weeks to
be
finalized.
