NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
reflect adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that, in
the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the interim
periods presented. This report includes information in a condensed format and
should be read in conjunction with the Ohio Art Company's (the Company) audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report filed on Form
10-K for the year ended January 31, 2000.
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 perpetual inventory 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 is 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. There are no dilutive securities
included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share, accordingly basic and
diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same.

Note 5 - Comprehensive Income (amounts in thousands)
FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires the reporting
of comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive
income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes
disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been
recognized in the calculation of net income.
During the quarter ended April 30, 1999, the Company sold securities classified
as available for sale. The Company recorded a realized gain of $655, net of
income tax effect, on these securities.
Comprehensive income (loss) is as follows:

Note 6 - Long-term Obligations (amounts in thousands)
The Company executed a loan and security agreement on April 7, 2000 that
provides for borrowings up to $12,000 for three years on a revolving credit
basis based on various percentages of eligible inventory and accounts receivable
and term loans aggregating $3,279 with interest payable monthly at prime plus
1.25% and an unused line fee of 0.5%. The term loans are payable $45 per month
plus interest in seventy-two consecutive payments commencing May 1, 2000. The
loan and security agreement is collateralized by all real and personal property
of the Company.
On April 7, 2000, the Company executed a $5,200 term loan to refinance its
existing term loan. The new term loan is payable in monthly installments of $91
including interest at prime plus 2%, increasing by 0.5% on each anniversary date
through April 1, 2007. The loan is collateralized by all real and personal
property of the Company.
The loan and security agreement and term loans contain certain financial
covenants that require, among other things, minimum amounts of tangible net
worth and limit dividend payments and purchases of property, plant and
equipment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(amounts in thousands)
Results of operations
Net sales for the first quarter of 2000 decreased 13% to $9,091 from $10,497 for
the comparable 1999 period. The domestic and international toy segments
decreased approximately $800 and $600 respectively, while the diversified
products segments reported results approximating the same as a year ago. Most of
the decrease in toy sales for both the domestic and international segments was
due to reduced shipments of the Company's Betty Spaghetty(R) fashion doll, which
was affected by fewer retail promotional advertisements. Domestic shipments of
Water T-Ball(TM), an outdoor water toy, also fell during the period. The decline
was partially offset by increased sales of the Etch A Sketch(R) line of
products.
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 at the most
recent period end, May 31, 2000, is not necessarily indicative of expectations
of sales for the full year. Subject to industry practice and comments as
detailed in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31,
2000, order backlog as of May 31, 2000 is approximately $12,600 versus $8,700 at
the same date in 1999.
Other income for the three month period ended April 30, 2000 decreased to $214
from $1,363 for the three month period ended April 30, 1999. Marketable
securities were sold in the first quarter of 1999 resulting in a one-time pretax
gain of $988. There were no similar activities in the current year.
Gross profit margin (percentage) for the first quarter of 2000 (15.9%) decreased
from the first quarter of 1999 (24.3%), due in part to reduced shipments of the
Betty Spaghetty(R) fashion doll, and Water T-Ball(TM), both of which are
generally sold at a higher gross margin than other products. These decreases in
shipments were partially offset by increased revenue from shipments of Etch a
Sketch(R) products. In addition, closeout products were sold during the period
at little or no margin.
Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the first quarter of 2000
decreased to $2,561 from $2,960 from the first quarter of 1999. The primary
reasons were decreases in advertising expense and non-capitalizable legal and
professional fees. Advertising expense is incurred based on the level of toy
sales, which decreased in the first quarter of 2000 compared to the same period
of the previous year. Legal fees incurred by the Company in securing new
financing were capitalized as loan costs to be amortized over the expected lives
of the loans. These fees and other loan acquisition costs are recorded as
deferred charges on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Interest expense for the three month period ended April 30, 2000 increased to
$484 from $384 for the three month period ended April 30, 1999. The Company's
loan agreements prior to April 7, 2000 contained certain financial covenants, of
which one or more covenants had not been technically met. As a result, the bank
charged the Company default interest in 2000 amounting to approximately $166
even though the Company made timely interest and principal payments.

Form 10-Q
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSISON AND ANALYSIS (continued)
(amounts in thousands)
No income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the three month period ended
April 30, 2000 due to the net loss recorded for this period and the Company's
inability to record a tax benefit related to the loss due to the valuation
allowance recorded for the deferred tax asset. Income tax expense of $333 was
recorded for the three month period ending April 30, 1999 due to the realized
gain on the sale of marketable securities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows used in operations were $661 for the three month period ended April
30, 2000 compared to $586 provided by operations in the comparable period of
1999. The $1,631 decrease in net income for the period was offset by the
non-cash effect of the gain on sale of marketable equity securities, net of tax.
Capital expenditures were reduced in 2000 to $106 from $260 in 1999. Purchases
of equipment and other capital assets have been delayed until later in the year
to ensure sufficient cash is available to meet normal operating requirements.
Effective April 7, 2000, the Company entered into a three year revolving credit
agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $12,000 based on various
percentages of eligible inventory and accounts receivable and six year term
loans aggregating $3,279. In addition, at that time the Company executed a
$5,200 term loan to refinance its existing term loan. The revolving credit
facility and term loans are collateralized by the assets of the Company. During
1999, the Company had not borrowed additional funds from any lending source, but
had been using cash received from operations.
The Company was not in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth covenant
included in its Loan and Security Agreement at April 30, 2000. This event of
default was subsequently waived by the lender unconditionally.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000
The Company developed and initiated plans that addressed the possible exposures
related to the impact of the Year 2000 on its computer systems, equipment,
business and operations. The Company completed all Year 2000 readiness work on
time and experienced no significant problems. Costs incurred were approximately
$250, the majority of which related to the mainframe computer and software, and
a network server. There are no material expenditures expected to be incurred in
the future related to the Year 2000 .
Certain of the matters discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis contain
certain forward-looking statements concerning the Company's operations, economic
performance, and financial condition. These statements are based on the
Company's expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
