FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE       


GRAND TOYS ANNOUNCES DELAY IN FILING DECEMBER 31, 2005 ANNUAL REPORT


Hong Kong – July 17, 2006 – Grand Toys International Limited (NASDAQ: GRIN) today announced that the release of its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F will be delayed.


On July 1, 2006, Grand disclosed that, as a result of the acquisitions in December 2005 of Hua Yang Holdings Company Limited and Kord Holdings, Inc., which were under common control with Grand, Grand is required to restate its financial statements back to the date of common control as if Hua Yang and Kord were part of Grand on May 24, 2004 and June 30, 2004, the respective dates that ownership of Hua Yang and Kord was acquired by Grand’s controlling shareholder.  Due to the complexity of the restatement, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the registrant’s independent accounting firm, has not completed its audit of the registrant’s restated financial statements.


Grand does not expect the delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 20-F to be lengthy.
