Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1998
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The accompanying 1998 and 1997 unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
prevent the information presented from being misleading. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB, which contains financial
information for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.
The information provided in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the results of operations for this period. The
results for this period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Basic earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of
common shares. Diluted earnings per share has been computed using the weighted
average number of common shares and common share equivalents (which consist of
warrants, options and convertible securities, to the extent they are dilutive).

Note 2 -- Earnings per share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share." This statement, which is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim
periods, establishes simplified standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share (EPS). It requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures and
disclosure of the calculation of each EPS amount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the Company's
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto which appear
elsewhere herein.
OVERVIEW
The Company was founded in early 1995 to develop, manufacture and market
toys and related products for children. The Company commenced business
operations as of July 1, 1995, when it assumed operating control over the toy
business of Justin Products Limited ("Justin") and has included the results of
Justin's operations in its consolidated financial statements from the effective
date of such acquisition (the "Justin Acquisition"). The Justin product lines
accounted for substantially all of the Company's sales for the period from April
1, 1995 (Inception) to December 31, 1995.
In 1996, the Company expanded its product lines to include products based
on licensed characters and properties such as WWF action figures and Power
Rangers ZEO mini vehicles. Presently, the Company's products include (i) toys
and action figures featuring licensed characters, including action figures based
on characters from the WWF, (ii) die cast collectible and toy vehicles marketed
under the names Road Champs and Remco, (iii) Child Guidance pre-school toys,
(iv) fashion dolls with related accessories, (v) electronic toys designed for
children and (vi) battery-operated vehicles.
In February 1997, the Company acquired Road Champs with its line of die
cast collectible and toy vehicles. The Company has included the results of
operations of Road Champs from February 1, 1997, the effective date of the
acquisition.
In October 1997, the Company acquired the Child Guidance and Remco
trademarks, under which the Company markets pre-school toys and metal trucks,
respectively. Such lines contributed nominally in 1997, but have begun to
contribute more significantly to operations in 1998.
The toys sold by the Company are currently primarily produced by
non-affiliated manufacturers located in China on letter of credit basis or on
open account and are shipped F.O.B. Hong Kong. These methods allow the Company
to keep certain operating costs down and reduce working capital requirements.
However, through the Company's Road Champs division, a portion of the Company's
sales are made on a domestic basis, for which the Company holds certain
inventory in a warehouse operated by a non-affiliated third party. To date,
substantially all of the Company's sales have been to domestic customers. The
Company intends to expand distribution of its products internationally.
The Company's products are generally acquired from others or developed for
the Company by non-affiliated third parties, thus minimizing operating costs.
Royalties payable to such developers generally range from 1% to 6% of the
wholesale sales price for each unit of a product sold by the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
9
<PAGE> 10
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
Net Sales. Net sales were $16.1 million in 1998, an increase of $8.1
million, or 100% over $8.0 million in 1997. The significant growth in net sales
was due primarily to the continuing growth of the WWF action figure product line
with its expanded product offerings and frequent character releases. The
Company's holiday doll line performed comparably with the prior year and its new
lines of Remco toy vehicles and Child Guidance pre-school toys contributed to
net sales in 1998.
Gross Profit. Gross profits were $6.1 million, or 37.9% of net sales, in
1998. This represents an increase of approximately 91% over gross profits of
$3.2 million, or 39.7% of net sales, in 1997. The decrease in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was due to the change in product mix with lower-margin
non-licensed products accounting for a higher proportion of net sales in 1998
than in 1997. The overall increase in gross profit was attributable to the
significant increase in net sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $4.7 million in 1998 and $2.5 million in 1997,
constituting 29.1% and 30.8% of net sales, respectively. The overall significant
increase of $2.2 million in such costs was due to costs incurred in support of
the Company's development and marketing of products under its recently acquired
Child Guidance and Remco trademarks. Selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales due in part to the fixed nature
of certain of these expenses. The overall dollar increase was also due to the
significant increase in net sales with its proportionate impact on variable
selling costs such as freight and shipping related expenses, sales commissions,
cooperative advertising and travel expenses, among others. From time to time,
the Company may increase its advertising efforts, including the use of more
expensive advertising media such as television, if the Company deems it
appropriate for particular products. Such advertising costs may be substantial,
and there is no certainty as to the effectiveness of such advertising or whether
any resultant sales would be sufficient to cover such costs.
Interest. The Company had moderately lower interest-bearing obligations in
1998 than in 1997 with its convertible debentures and seller note issued to
partially fund the Road Champs Acquisition and Child Guidance/Remco trademark
acquisitions, respectively. In addition, the Company had lower average cash
balances during 1998 than in 1997.
Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes include Federal,
state and foreign income taxes in 1998 and also include a tax benefit generated
by operating losses for Federal and state purposes in 1997. The Company's
earnings benefit from a flat 16.5% Hong Kong Corporation Tax on its income
arising in, or derived from, Hong Kong. At December 31, 1997, the Company had
Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $727,000 and $306,000,
respectively, available to offset future taxable income. The carryforwards
generally expire through 2012 and may be subject to annual limitations as a
result of changes in the Company's ownership. There can be no assurances that
changes in ownership in future periods or any future losses will not
significantly limit the Company's use of the net operating loss carryforwards.
In addition, no valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, amounting to
approximately $258,000 at December 31, 1997, has been provided for since, in the
opinion of management, realization of the future benefit is probable. In making
this determination, management considered all available evidence, both positive
and negative, as well as the weight and importance given to such evidence.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
Net Sales. Net sales were $27.2 million in 1998, an increase of $13.9
million, or 104% over $13.3 million in 1997. The significant growth in net sales
was due primarily to the continuing growth of the WWF action figure product line
with its expanded product offerings and frequent character releases, as well as
to the full year to date contribution made by Road Champs' sales of die-cast toy
and collectible vehicle, which have been included from the effective day of the
acquisition, February 1, 1997. The Company's holiday doll line performed
comparably with the prior year and its new lines of Remco toy vehicles and Child
Guidance pre-school toys contributed to net sales in 1998.
Gross Profit. Gross profits were $10.5 million, or 38.5% of net sales, in
1998. This represents an increase of approximately 105% over gross profits of
$5.1 million, or 38.5% of net sales, in 1997. While the gross profit margin is
comparable between 1998 and 1997, the overall increase in gross profit was
attributable to the significant increase in net sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $8.3 million in 1998 and $4.2 million in 1997,
constituting 30.5% and 31.7% of net sales, respectively. The overall significant
increase of $4.1 million in such costs was due in part to the full year to date
impact of costs associates with the infrastructure added in connection with the
Road Champs Acquisition, with its sales, administration and warehousing
operations in the United States and Hong Kong as well as to costs incurred in
support of the Company's development and marketing of products under its
recently acquired Child Guidance and Remco trademarks. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales due in part to
the fixed nature of certain of these expenses. The overall dollar increase was
also due to the significant increase in net sales with its proportionate impact
on variable selling costs such as freight and shipping related expenses, sales
commissions, cooperative advertising and travel expenses, among others. From
time to time, the Company may increase its advertising efforts, including the
use of more expensive advertising media such as television, if the Company deems
it appropriate for particular products. Such advertising costs may be
substantial, and there is no certainty as to the effectiveness of such
advertising or whether any resultant sales would be sufficient to cover such
costs.
Interest. The Company had moderately lower interest-bearing obligations in
1998 than in 1997 with its convertible debentures and seller note issued to
partially fund the Road Champs Acquisition and Child Guidance/Remco trademark
acquisitions, respectively. In addition, the Company had significantly lower
average cash balances during 1998 than in 1997.
Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes include Federal,
state and foreign income taxes in 1998 and also include a tax benefit generated
by operating losses for Federal and state purposes in 1997. The Company's
earnings benefit from a flat 16.5% Hong Kong Corporation Tax on its income
arising in, or derived from, Hong Kong. At December 31, 1997, the Company had
Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $727,000 and $306,000,
respectively, available to offset future taxable income. The carryforwards
generally expire through 2012 and may be subject to annual limitations as a
result of changes in the Company's ownership. There can be no assurances that
changes in ownership in future periods or any future losses will not
significantly limit the Company's use of the net operating loss carryforwards.
In addition, no valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, amounting to
approximately $258,000 at December 31, 1997, has been provided for since, in the
opinion of management, realization of the future benefit is probable. In making
this determination, management considered all available evidence, both positive
and negative, as well as the weight and importance given to such evidence.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $8.1 million, as
compared to $3.4 million as of December 31, 1997. Operating activities used net
cash of $0.5 million in 1998 as compared to having used $2.7 million in 1997.
Net cash was used primarily by changes in operating assets and liabilities
partially offset by net income and non-cash charges. At June 30, 1998, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million.
The Company's investing activities have used net cash of $3.0 million in
1998, as compared to $9.4 million in 1997, consisting primarily of the purchase
of molds and tooling used in the manufacture of the Company's products and the
investment in the joint venture. In 1997, the Company's investing activities
used cash principally for the purchase of Road Champs including goodwill,
trademarks and molds and tooling, as well as molds and tooling used in the
manufacture of the Company's products. As part of the Company's strategy to
develop and market new products, the Company has entered into various character
and product licenses with royalties of 1% to 10% payable on net sales of such
products. As of June 30, 1998, these agreements require future aggregate minimum
guarantees of $16.6 million, exclusive of $1.6 million in advances already paid
this year.
The Company's financing activities have provided net cash of $3.0 million
in 1998, consisting primarily of the issuance of 1,000 shares of its 7% Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $5,000 per share in
connection with a private placement to two investors partially offset by the
repayment of various debt issued in connection with the Road Champs and Child
Guidance/Remco trademarks acquisitions.
In January 1997, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $5.5
million, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of $6.0 million in convertible
debentures which are convertible into 1,043,478 shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $5.75 per share, subject to anti-dilution provisions. Such
debentures bear interest at 9% per annum, payable monthly, and are due in
December 2003.
In February 1997, the Company acquired Road Champs for approximately $11.7
million. Consideration paid at closing was approximately $4.7 million in cash
plus the issuance of $1.5 million (198,020 shares) of Common Stock. The balance
of the cash consideration ($5.5 million) was payable during the twelve-month
period ending in February 1998. This acquisition provided the Company with
immediate significant growth in the mini vehicle product category with Road
Champs product line of die cast collectible and toy vehicles. Assets included in
the purchase were molds and tooling, office and warehouse equipment and other
operating assets, as well as license agreements, trade name and goodwill.
In October 1997, the Company acquired the Child Guidance and Remco
trademarks for approximately $13.4 million. Consideration paid at closing was
$10.6 million in cash plus the issuance of a note payable in the amount of
$1.2 million, which is payable in five quarterly installments ending
December 31, 1998 and bears interest at 10% per annum. In addition, the
Company incurred legal and accounting fees of approximately $0.3 million and
reserves of $1.3 million. This acquisition provided the Company with immediate
expanded growth in the toy vehicle category, which complements the collectible
and toy nature of the Road Champs line. In addition, Child Guidance enabled
the Company to enter the pre-school toy category with a quality name. The
acquisition was funded in part by the issuance of the Company's 4% convertible
preferred stock, which were converted to the Company's common stock on March 30,
1998. Also in connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into a
manufacturing and supply agreement whereby the seller of the trademarks will
provide the tools and other manufacturing resources for the production of
products under the trademarks. Such agreement provides for payments to the
seller of four quarterly payments of $110,000 followed by six quarterly payments
of $160,000 commencing on December 31, 1997.
In October, 1997, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement
with Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. which provides the Company's Hong Kong
subsidiaries with a working capital line of credit and letters of credit for
the purchase of products and the operation of the subsidiaries. The facility
has an overall limit of $5.0 million, but is subject to other limitations based
on advance rates on letters of credit and open accounts receivable. As of
March 31, 1998, aggregate advances under the facility amounted to approximately
$0.1 million.
On April 1, 1998, the Company received approximately $4.8 million in net
proceeds from the issuance of shares of its 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock to two investors in a private placement, which are convertible
into 558,658 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $8.95
per share. The use of proceeds is for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, cash on hand and
the net proceeds from the issuance of the 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, together with the availability on the Norwest facility, will be
sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements and
provide the Company with adequate liquidity to meet its anticipated operating
needs for the foreseeable future. Although operating activities are expected to
provide cash, to the extent the Company grows significantly in the future, its
operating and investing activities may use cash and, consequently, such growth
may require the Company to obtain additional sources of financing. There can be
no assurance that any necessary additional financing will be available to the
Company on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
