		THE OHIO ART COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
			    (UNAUDITED)
			    June 30, 1995



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1994.

All adjustments necessary (consisting of normal adjustments), in the
opinion of management, for a fair statement of results for the periods
indicated have been made.

Due to the seasonal nature of the toy business in which the Company is
engaged and the factors set forth in Management's Discussion and
Analysis, the results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of a full calendar year.


Note 2 - Inventories

The Company takes a physical inventory annually at each location.  The
amounts shown in the quarterly financial statements have been determined
using the Company's standard cost accounting system.  An estimate, based
on past experience, of the adjustment which may result from the next
physical inventory has been included in the financial statements.  
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) cost method.  Since inventories under the LIFO method
can only be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on
quantities and costs at that time, interim inventory valuation must be
based on estimates of quantities and costs at year-end.


Note 3 - Average Shares Outstanding

Unallocated ESOP shares are deducted from outstanding shares of Common
Stock to arrive at average shares outstanding.

		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



OPERATIONS
- ----------
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased slightly to
$13,822,000 from $13,524,000 for the comparable 1994 period and
decreased to $6,811,000 for the second quarter of 1995 from $7,496,000
for the comparable 1994 period.  Sales during the first half of the year
as well as for the three months ended June 30th, increased to our
international and lithography customers while sales to domestic
customers and sales by Strydel, Inc., our injection molding facility,
decreased.  The decrease in sales in the second quarter was due
primarily to the decrease in domestic toy sales of approximately
$800,000, which were hampered by the delay of new toy product
start-ups which were delayed from the beginning of the second quarter
until late in the second quarter.  The increase in sales for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 was due primarily to sales to our
international customers, which increased approximately $700,000.  This
was the result of restructuring our distribution network with western
European toy companies, which was effective January 1, 1995.  This
increase was offset by a decrease in domestic toy sales of approximately
$400,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 for the reason cited
above.

The Company's business is seasonal, with approximately 60-70% of its
sales being made in the last six months of the calendar year in recent
years.  Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, the dollar
order backlog in July is not necessarily indicative of expectations of
sales for the full year.  Subject to industry practice and comments as
detailed in the Registrant's annual Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994, order receipts through July 31st are approximately
$21,100,000 versus $13,600,000 for the same period of 1994, or
approximately 55% ahead of the prior year.  The increase in the order
backlog is due to the delay in new toy product start-ups for which
orders have beeen received but shipments have not yet been made, and
orders received for the promotion of the 35th anniversary of Etch A
Sketchr which, due to the delay in special packaging, have not yet been
shipped.

Gross profit margin (percentage) for the six months ended June 30, 1995
(21.2%) decreased from the comparable 1994 period (22.0%).  Gross profit
margin percentage for the second quarter of 1995 decreased to 23.0% from
25.1% for the similar period of 1994.  The decrease in gross profit
margin is due to lower domestic toy sales production which resulted in
larger overhead per unit of sales variance than the prior year.

		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 increased to $5,652,000 from $5,231,000 for the comparable
1994 period and increased to $2,865,000 for the second quarter of 1995
from $2,621,000 for the comparable 1994 period.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1995, royalty expense increased approximately $130,000 as
the result of increased sales of products subject to inventor royalties;
travel and entertainment increased approximately $150,000 due to
increased traveling for both international and domestic sales
activities, and salaries increased approximately $90,000 as the result
of a higher headcount.  For the second quarter, royalty expense
increased approximately $80,000, travel and entertainment increased
approximately $50,000, and salaries increased approximately $50,000; all
for the same reasons as stated above.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The Company's current ratio increased to 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 1995 from
2.2 to 1 at December 31, 1994.  The Company used cash on hand as well as
cash collected from accounts receivable at December 31, 1994, and
borrowings from the Revolving Credit Agreement (classified as a long-
term liability) to finance the buildup of inventory, payment of income
taxes, and paydown of accounts payable.  Inventories at June 30, 1995
increased $3,964,000 from December 31, 1994.  This change during the
first half of 1995 is consistent with the seasonal nature of the
Company's business, as inventories are built during the first six months
of the year for shipment during the last six months of the year.

On May 26, 1995, the Company renewed its three-year $10,000,000
Revolving Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date until May
1998.  The Company also changed its $6,000,000 Demand Credit Agreement
to a maturity date of May 25, 1996.  All the terms and conditions
related to both agreements are the same as the previous agreements
except for the maturity date.
