NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1998 and 1997
and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows at June 30, 1998 and 1997 have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997. Certain amounts in the financial statements of prior years have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.
The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.
NOTE B - LOAN AGREEMENT
On April 1, 1993, the Company entered into a Loan and Security agreement with
Congress Financial Corporation. On March 31, 1995, this original agreement
was amended and restated in full, including increasing the credit limit to
$40 million, with a provision to increase the limit to $60 million at the
option of the Company. On December 19, 1997, the loan agreement was amended,
increasing the credit limit to $75 million and extending the term of the loan
agreement until December 2000 . Borrowing availability is determined by a
formula based on both accounts receivable and inventories. The current interest
rate is equal to prime with a LIBOR option. The Company also agreed to pay an
unused line fee of 0.25% and certain management fees. In consideration of this
amendment, the Company paid loan fees of $750,000. The loan fee is included
in other assets and is being amortized straight-line over the term of the loan.

</TABLE>
Net revenues decreased 24% to $40.0 million in the second quarter of
1998 as compared to $52.4 million in the second quarter of 1997.
Domestic sales decreased 29% to $25.4 million while international sales
decreased 13% to $14.6 million.
The Company's worldwide sales of boys' toys decreased 62% in the second
quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997. Sales for
the second quarter of 1997 were driven by the demand for Star Wars (TM)
toys created by the theatrical re-release of the Star Wars Trilogy. The
absence of a similar film event in the first half of 1998 led to
comparatively lower worldwide sales of boys' toys.
The Company's worldwide sales of girls' toys increased 322% in the
second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997. This
increase was attributable to sales of the Company's Spice Girls (TM),
Anastasia (TM) and Pound Puppies (R) product lines.
Net revenues decreased 24% to $70.3 million in the six months ended June
30 ,1998 as compared to $ 93.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
1997. Domestic sales for the same period decreased 31% to $45.9 million
while international sales decreased 7% to $24.4 million.
The Company's worldwide sales of boys' toys decreased 63% in the six
months ended June 30 ,1998 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1997. The Company's worldwide sales of girls' toys increased 186% in
the six months ended June 30 ,1998 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The change in sales of boys' and girls toys was
attributable to the same factors noted for the changes in the second
quarter.
Gross margin decreased $8.2 million to $15.3 million in the second
quarter of 1998 from $23.5 million in the second quarter of 1997. The
lower sales volume decreased gross margin by $ 5.5 million, and a
decrease in the gross margin rate accounted for $ 2.7 million of the
decrease. The gross margin rate decreased to 38.2% in the second
quarter of 1998 as compared to 44.8 % in the second quarter of 1997.
The decrease in the gross margin rate was primarily attributable to a
shift from full gross margin, promoted products to lower gross margin,
non-promoted products.
Gross margin decreased $12.3 million to $28.9 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from $41.2 million in the six months ended June
30,1997. The lower sales volume decreased gross margin by $ 10.0
million, and a decrease in the gross margin rate accounted for $ 2.3
million The gross margin rate decreased to 41.1% in the six months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to 44.4 % in the six months ended June
30, 1997. The change in the gross margin rate was primarily
attributable to the same factor noted for the change in the second
quarter.
Advertising and promotion expenses were $4.2 million, or 10.4% of net
revenues in the second quarter of 1998, as compared to $7.5 million, or
14.3% of net revenues in the second quarter of 1997. For the six months
ended June 30, 1998, these expenses were $8.6 million, or 12.2%, of net
revenues as compared to $14.9 million, or 16.0%, in the six months ended
June 30 ,1997. The decrease in the advertising and promotion expenses
was attributable to a reduction in television advertising, trade show
and product promotion expenses which was primarily due to the Company's
shift in sales from promoted products to non-promoted products.
Other selling and administrative expenses were $6.1 million in the
second quarter of 1998, as compared to $6.9 million in the second
quarter of 1997. For the six months ended June 30,1998, these expenses
were $13.2 million, as compared to $14.9 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The decrease in other selling and administrative
expenses in the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 1998
was primarily related to lower personnel and legal costs.
Royalties, research and development expenses were $6.4 million, or
16.1%, of net revenues in the second quarter of 1998 as compared to $7.9
million, or 15.1%, of net revenues in the second quarter of 1997. For
the six months ended June 30, 1998, these expenses were $12.2 million,
or 17.4%, of net revenues as compared to $14.5 million, or 15.6%, of net
revenues in the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in
royalties, research and development expenses as a percentage of net
revenues in the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 1998
was primarily attributable to higher royalty expenses, partially offset
by reductions in research and development spending. The reductions in
research and development spending are primarily related to efficiencies
associated with the Company's restructured product portfolio. In the
third quarter of 1997, the Company discontinued all of the male action
lines it introduced in 1996 and 1997, and all future male action
properties under development in order to maximize the future value of
the rights the Company was awarded to market small-scale toys for the
next three Star Wars films and the classic Star Wars Trilogy.
During the second quarter of 1997, the Company acquired all outstanding
rights to its line of miniature vehicles, playsets and accessories
marketed under the Micro Machines (R) brand and settled related
litigation. In 1986, the Licensor of such rights ("the Licensor")
licensed a concept to the Company that contributed to the origination of
Micro Machines. The Company had paid royalties to the Licensor on the
majority of Micro Machine sales. The settlement agreement eliminated
all future royalty payments to the Licensor, effective after March 31,
1997. The agreement also ended litigation between the Company and the
Licensor over past royalties claimed by the Licensor and the extent of
the Licensor's rights in the Micro Machines brand. The Company recorded
a pre-tax charge to earnings of $22.9 million in the second quarter of
1997 relating to this transaction. Additionally, the Company
capitalized $4.5 million, which is being amortized.
Interest expense and other income in the second quarter and the six
months ended June 30, 1998 were relatively unchanged from the second
quarter and the six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.
The income tax benefit in the second quarter and the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 reflects the quarterly application of the
estimated annual rate based upon projected full year earnings.
Many currently installed computer systems and software products,
including several used by the Company, are coded to accept only two-
digit entries in the date code field. Beginning in the year 2000 these
date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to distinguish
21st - Century dates from 20th- Century dates. As a result, computer
systems and/or software used by many companies will need to be upgraded
or replaced to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements.
The Company's current information technology systems are not Year 2000
compliant. As a result, the Company has purchased new enterprise
software, which accommodates forward century dating through the use of
the Julian dating format. The Company began a comprehensive phased
implementation of the new software in late 1997. The application
development phase is in process and the data conversion phase also has
begun. The testing phase for the new software will begin in the fourth
quarter of 1998. The Company expects its new software to be operational
and Year 2000 compliant in mid-1999. As of June 30, 1998, the Company
had incurred expenditures of $2.2 million in connection with this
software implementation and expects to incur total expenditures of
approximately $5.0 million to $6.0 million. Although no assurances can
be given, the Company believes that its new enterprise software will be
operational prior to the year 2000.
The Company has performed a preliminary assessment of its material non-
information technology systems and, based upon this preliminary
assessment, believes that these systems are Year 2000 compliant.
The Company has yet to determine if the information technology systems
of the Company's customers, vendors and other third parties with whom
the Company has material relationships, are Year 2000 compliant. The
Company intends to contact these third parties during the third quarter
of 1998 in order to assess their Year 2000 readiness.
If the Company's information technology systems, its non-information
technology systems, or the information technology systems of its
material third-party business partners, are not Year 2000 compliant, it
could have a negative impact on the Company's business, financial
condition, and results of operations. No contingency plans yet have
been developed for these possibilities.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this
Form 10-Q Report, including, without limitation the statements under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward
looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements
of results to differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
risks, uncertainties and other important factors include among others: the
Company's dependence on timely development, introduction and customer acceptance
of continuing and new products (including those products to be developed under
the new Star Wars license); the continuing trend of increased concentration of
the Company's revenues in the second half of the fiscal year, together with the
increased reliance by retailers on quick response inventory management, which
increases the risk of the Company's underproduction of popular items,
overproduction of less popular items and failure to achieve tight and compressed
shipping schedules; possible weakness of the Company's markets; the impact
of competition on revenues, margin and pricing; the effect of currency
fluctuations; other risks and uncertainties as may be disclosed from time to
time in the Company's public announcements; the gross national product in the
United States and other countries, which also influences demand for the
Company's products; customer inventory levels; and the cost and availability of
raw materials and changes in trade conditions regarding China. All subsequent
written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or
persons acting on behalf of one or both of them are expressly qualified in
their entirety by such Cautionary Statements.
Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Expenditures
Demand for the Company's products is greatest in the third and fourth quarters
of the year. As a result, collections of accounts typically peak in the fourth
quarter and early first quarter of the following year. Due to the seasonality
of its revenues and collections, the Company's working capital requirements
and availability of working capital fluctuate significantly during the year.
The Company's seasonal financing requirements are usually highest during
the fourth quarter of each calendar year.
On April 1, 1993, the Company entered into a Loan and Security agreement with
Congress Financial Corporation. On March 31, 1995, this original agreement
was amended and restated in full, including increasing the credit limit to
$40 million, with a provision to increase the limit to $60 million at the
option of the Company. On December 19, 1997, the loan agreement was amended,
increasing the credit limit to $75 million and extending the term of the loan
agreement until December 2000 . Borrowing availability is determined by a
formula based on both accounts receivable and inventories. The current interest
rate is equal to prime with a LIBOR option. The Company also agreed to pay an
unused line fee of 0.25% and certain management fees. In consideration of this
amendment, the Company paid loan fees of $750,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company generated $27.1 million
of cash from its operating activities primarily from the collections of
accounts receivable. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $30.0 million.
Working capital was $79.6 million at June 30, 1998, as compared to $82.8
million at December 31, 1997 and $121.1 million at June 30, 1997. The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.5 to 1.0 at June 30, 1998
as compared to 3.0 to 1.0 at December 31, 1997 and 5.7 to 1.0 at June 30, 1997.
On October 14, 1997, the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide license
with Lucas Licensing Ltd. to make small-scale figures, vehicles, playsets and
accessories for the next three Star Wars movies, and the Company's current
rights to market such small-scale toys based on the original Star Wars trilogy
were also included. The licensing agreement calls for minimum commitments,
primarily in the form of advance payments against future royalties, of $148.1
million payable throughout the release schedule of the three new films. The
first payment is due upon the theatrical release of the first film, which is
anticipated to be in May, 1999.
The Company expects that its cash flow from operations, cash on hand and
borrowings under the extended credit arrangement will be sufficient to meet its
working capital and capital expenditure requirements and provide the Company
with adequate liquidity to meet its anticipated operating needs for the
foreseeable future.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Manufacturer Litigation
In January 1991, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Galco,
filed a lawsuit in Hong Kong against Kader Industrial Co., Ltd. ("Kader"),
alleging damages suffered by both Galco and the Company as a result of Kader's
defective manufacturing of two lead doll items for the Company's Bouncin'
Babies toy line in 1990. Kader filed counterclaims alleging breach of 17
individual contracts. In August 1996, the trial court rendered a decision in
favor of Kader on the general issue of liability in this matter, including an
award of damages based on Kader's counterclaims which was approximately
$250,000, plus prejudgment interest. In addition, the court awarded certain
litigation costs to Kader. In March 1998, the Company settled all of the open
matters in this litigation. The settlement will not result in any additional
material liabilities to the Company.
The Company is involved in various litigation and other legal matters which are
defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. None of these matters
is expected to result in outcomes having a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operation.
