ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     Morrow Snowboards, Inc. dba Granite Bay Technologies ("Granite Bay")
filed a Form 8-K dated January 31, 2000 (filed February 1, 2000) which Form
8-K was amended by the filing of a Form 8-K/A on February 2, 2000 and Form
8-K/A2 ("Form 8-K/A2") on February 16, 2000 (collectively, the "IDW 8-Ks").
The IDW 8-Ks reported on the acquisition of International DisplayWorks, Inc.
("IDW") by Granite Bay on January 31, 2000 and the acquisition on February 1,
2000 by International DisplayWorks Hong Kong ("IDW HK"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of IDW organized under the laws of Hong Kong, People's Republic of
China ("PRC"), of (i) MULCD Microelectronics Company Ltd. ("MULCD") and (ii)
IDW Shen Zhen Technical Development Company, Ltd. ("IDW STD"), two companies
organized under PRC law (collectively, the "PRC Companies").

     The Form 8-K/A2 filed February 16, 2000 reported certain information,
including financial information, regarding the PRC Companies.  That report
noted that certain information being reported was based on estimates or
limited information available to Granite Bay and was subject to revision.
Based on further efforts by Granite Bay in reviewing the records of the PRC
Companies, Granite Bay is hereby reporting additional information regarding
the PRC Companies, a portion of which corrects or updates information
previously reported in the Form 8-K/A2.

     PRIOR YEAR SALES  The PRC Companies had the following sales revenue on
an individual and combined basis for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998
and 1999:

                                   -----------    -----------    -----------

The PRC Companies (combined)       $55,341,618    $46,629,377    $24,147,196

</TABLE>

Contrary to earlier belief, sales revenue was $46,629,377 in 1998, rather
than less than $24 million, as previously reported. Granite Bay still
believes that sales have stabilized or have been increasing since personnel
from IDW began managing the PRC companies in August 1999. In addition, since
the acquisition was announced earlier this month, IDW has been successful in
sourcing purchase orders for new business from existing customers such as
Qualcomm and Ecowater, supporting Granite Bay's belief of favorable sales
trends for future revenue.

     BREAKDOWN OF SALES BY REGION  Granite Bay estimates that the 1999 sales
revenue by region for MULCD and IDW STD was as follows:

</TABLE>

     KEY CUSTOMERS.  The key customers previously reported in the Form 8-K/A2
are hereby revised.  In 1999, 5% or more of the sales revenue of MULCD was
believed to be from sales to General Electronics, Kingchamp, Orient Power
Group and Richway in Asia and to Ademco, Inc., GSS Array, Inc. and QUALCOMM,
Inc. in the United States.  In 1999, 5% or more of the 1999 sales revenue for
IDW STD was believed to be from sales to Ablenett, Inc., Ademco, Inc. and
QUALCOMM, Inc.

     THE PRC COMPANIES LAND LEASE.  The current annual land lease payment on
the PRC Companies' land lease is approximately $2,500 (US Dollars).
