		Media reports have suggested that talks are at an advanced stage regarding a possible 700p a share bid for Eidos, which represents a hefty premium on this morning's share price of 486p.
		Industry experts say Eidos' lower share price is due more to the City's strong reaction to a downturn in the industry's usual boom and bust cycle rather than an accurate reflection of any decline in the company's performance in changing market conditions.
		Although Tomb Raider has funded Eidos' rapid expansion, the publisher may not be as dependent on the franchise as investors seem to think.

	News - Eidos misses the gravy train /// Eurogamer
		Eidos seems to have got off to a poor start this year, with revenues plumetting by almost 50% to £23m for the first three months of 2001 according to Bloomberg, leading to losses of £29m compared to a profit of £37m in the same period last year.
		Results for their full financial year (which ended on March 31st) were just as worrying - turnover was down from £200m to £150m, with losses of £96m compared to a profit of £49m the previous year.
		Eidos predictably blamed Sony's troubled PlayStation 2 launch for their problems, and despite several other big publishers posting record results in recent months, Eidos CEO Mike McGarvey says that he doesn't expect things to pick up until next year when the Xbox and GameCube arrive in Europe.

		Eidos is actually profitable, to the tune of £16.5 million on turnover of £137 million last year.
