EMAK WORLDWIDE, INC.



NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

(UNAUDITED)



NOTE 1  -  ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS



EMAK Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiaries (the Company or EMAK), is the parent company of a family of marketing services agencies including Equity Marketing, Logistix, Mega, Upshot and Neighbor.  The Companys agencies are experts in consumer activation, offering strategy-based marketing programs that directly impact consumer behavior.  EMAKs agencies provide strategic planning and research, consumer insight development, entertainment marketing, design and manufacturing of custom promotional products, kids and family marketing, event marketing, shopper marketing and environmental branding.  EMAK is headquartered in Los Angeles with offices in Chicago, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Paris and Hong Kong.  The Company primarily sells to customers in the United States and Europe.  The Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar.



The Company continues to experience losses of $1,473 and $1,456 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, with a net loss of $7,616 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Despite the Companys recent history of operating losses, the Company is focused on a return to meaningful profitability in 2008 and performed a comprehensive review of its business to assure not only that its operating expenses are aligned with revenues, but also that its client-by-client and program-by-program revenue models meet minimum profitability standards.  In connection with the review, the Company integrated the operations of its Equity Marketing and Logistix agencies and the Company initiated a Lean enterprise process improvement program designed to streamline its operations.  The restructurings plans EMAK implemented will reduce its annual operating expenses primarily through reductions in
U.S. and European-based headcount as the Company adjusts the size of our footprint around the world.



In addition, the Company has taken steps in Europe to reduce headcount and the transition of certain other agency services for its largest client at the end of 2007 resulting in the departure of related personnel in the U.S.  As a result of this, the Company expects a further reduction in annual operating expenses in addition to the expected annual savings resulting from the restructuring plans.



The Company has assessed its future cash needs based on projections of revenues, margins and operating expenses.  Such projections reflect contractual commitments from existing clients, assumptions for program volumes and assumptions that the Company maintains its historical win-rate on promotional projects for the portion of its business that is not contractually committed.  Based on these projections, the Companys management believes that it will have adequate liquidity to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.  The Company has a line of credit with its bank (see Note 3).  The line of credit is currently being used to issue letters of credit (totaling $1,504 as of June 30, 2008) in lieu of cash deposits on property leases.   The line of credit is due to expire on March 29, 2009 and renewal or replacement is not guaranteed.  However, the Company currently expects to either
renew the existing line of credit or obtain an alternative line of credit which is adequate to meet its financing needs, including the ability to issue letters of credit.  During the course of the last 18 months, the Company has borrowed and repaid less than $500 under the line of credit.



NOTE 2  -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  All adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.



Net Income Per Share



Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.



Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted EPS includes in-the-money options using the treasury stock method and also includes the assumed conversion of preferred stock using the if-converted method.  During a loss period, the assumed exercise of in-the-



8



money stock options and the assumed conversion of preferred stock have an anti-dilutive effect.  Options and warrants to purchase 1,908,536 and 1,211,786 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share (the Common Stock), as of June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as they would have been anti-dilutive.  Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS were preferred stock convertible into 2,777,778 shares of Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, as they would have been anti-dilutive.  Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS are 478,846 and 1,206,680 of unvested restricted stock units and grants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively, as they would have been anti-dilutive.



The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computation for income (loss) and other disclosures required by SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.

Restricted Cash



During the first quarter of 2006, the Companys Logistix (U.K.) subsidiary entered into an agreement with Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corp. (HSBC), under which HSBC issued a guarantee of up to 1,000 EURO (approx $1,207) to one of Logistix vendors in exchange for the deposit of the same amount into an interest bearing restricted cash account with HSBC.  During the third quarter of 2007, HSBC released 747 EURO (approx $1,036) with the remaining balance of 266 EURO (approx $388) released in the first quarter of 2008.  The guarantee from HSBC enabled Logistix (U.K.) to secure more favorable payment terms from a new vendor supplying significant quantities of goods for a promotional program.  This guarantee ended when the associated program was completed in the second quarter of 2007.



Supplemental Cash Flow Information



During the second quarter of 2008, the Company incurred a total of $1,942 of tenant improvements for its new Chicago office lease. Of the amount, $458 was incurred by the Company and reimbursed by the landlord and is included in purchases of fixed assets.  The remaining amount of $1,484 of tenant improvements was paid directly by the landlord.  Such amounts are recorded as fixed assets and long-term liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008.

Inventories



Inventories consist of (a) production-in-process which primarily represents tooling costs which are deferred and expensed over the life of the related promotional programs (which is typically less than six months) and deferred costs on service contracts for which revenue has been deferred and (b) purchased finished goods held for sale to customers and purchased finished goods in transit to customers distribution centers.  Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market.  As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, inventories consisted of the following:

Foreign Currency Translation



Net foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of foreign subsidiaries accounts whose functional currency is not the United States dollar are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity (deficit).  For such subsidiaries, accounts are translated into United States dollars at the following rates of exchange: assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates, equity accounts at historical rates, and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates during the period.



For subsidiaries with transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency, net foreign exchange transaction gains or losses are included in determining net income (loss).  Transaction losses included in other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 were $60 and $23, respectively.  Transaction gains (losses) included in other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 were $(79) and $462, respectively.



Income Taxes



The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109).  Under SFAS 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.



On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Interpretation Number 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).  FIN 48 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in an enterprises financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 requires management to evaluate its open tax positions that exist on the date of initial adoption in each jurisdiction.  The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.



When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.  The portion of the benefits
associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  The Companys policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the quarter.  The Companys effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to losses sustained for which no tax benefit has been recognized.



10



As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a valuation allowance equal to its total net deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainty of ultimately realizing income tax benefits of approximately $14,926.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2003. State jurisdictions that remain subject to examination range from 2003 to 2006.  The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.



Goodwill and Other Intangibles



The carrying amount of goodwill and other intangibles as of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 was $10,827 and $10,825, respectively.  As of June 30, 2008, $8,245 of the goodwill relates to the Agency Services segment and $2,580 relates to the Promotional Products segment.



Fair Value Measurements



The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, which clarifies that fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts.  Under SFAS No. 157, fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Companys assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by SFAS No. 157 are as follows:


        Level 1  Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.



        Level 2  Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.



        Level 3  Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.  In addition, under SFAS No. 157, the fair value measurement of a liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of an entity.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 1 through Level 3 inputs.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.  SFAS No. 141(R) (i) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, (ii) changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, (iii) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, requires changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled, (iv) requires companies to revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information to reflect any adjustments as if they had been recorded on the acquisition date for acquisitions completed on or after January 1, 2009, (v) requires the
reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties to be recognized in earnings, and (vi) requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred.  SFAS No. 141(R) also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination to enhance financial statement users understanding of the nature and financial impact of the business combination.  SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with the exception of accounting for changes in a valuation allowance for acquired deferred tax assets and the resolution of uncertain tax positions accounted for under FIN 48, which is effective on January 1, 2009 for all acquisitions regardless of the date on which they were completed.  The Company has not completed
its evaluation of SFAS No. 141(R), but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.



11



In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 requires: (i) qualitative disclosures about objectives for using derivatives by primary underlying risk exposure, (ii) information about the volume of derivative activity, (iii) tabular disclosures about
balance sheet location and gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments, income statement, and other comprehensive income location and amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments by type of contract, and (iv) disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company has not completed its evaluation of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.



In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities.  Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SECs) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have an impact on its operating results or financial position.



NOTE 3  SHORT-TERM DEBT



On March 29, 2006, the Company entered into a credit facility (the Facility) with Bank of America.  The maturity date of the Facility is March 29, 2009.  The Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets and provides for a line of credit of up to $25,000 with borrowing availability determined by a formula based on qualified assets.  Interest on outstanding borrowings will be based on either a fixed rate equivalent to LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.50 and 3.00 percent or a variable rate equivalent to the banks reference rate plus an applicable spread of between 0.75 and 1.25 percent.  The Company is also required to pay an unused line fee of between 0.375 and 0.50 percent per annum and certain letter of credit fees.  The applicable spread is based on the levels of borrowings relative to qualified assets.  The Facility also
requires the Company to comply with certain restrictions and covenants as amended from time to time.  The Facility may be used for working capital and other corporate financing purposes.  On May 10, 2006, August 11, 2006, November 21, 2006, February 5, 2007 and July 30, 2008 certain covenants under the facility were amended.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, borrowing availability has ranged from $5,621 to $11,643.  As of June 30, 2008, the marginal interest rate on available borrowings under the Facility was 8.5%. As of June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the restrictions and covenants as amended.  As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, $0 was outstanding under the Facility.



Letters of credit outstanding under the Companys Facility as of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 totaled $439 and $1,504, respectively.



NOTE 4  RESTRUCTURING



As part of the Companys decision to reorganize its Hong Kong office to better align the Companys operations with the current business needs, the Company recorded a charge for one-time termination benefits associated with staff reductions in the Companys Hong Kong office.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded a charge of $22.  The entire amount is attributable to the Promotional Products segment.



As part of the Companys decision to align staffing costs with revenues, the Company eliminated one position at Logistix (U.K.) as a result of a less than optimal staff utilization rate resulting from a decrease in revenues.  In connection with this decision, the Company incurred charges for one-time employee termination benefits and other costs totaling $2 and $46 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  In August 2008, the Company has implemented a further restructuring plan in the U.K. (see Note 9 Subsequent Events).  The entire amount is attributable to the Promotional Products segment.



As part of the Companys decision to integrate the operations of its Equity Marketing and Logistix agencies in 2007, the Company recorded a charge of $312 for one-time termination benefits associated with the elimination of a senior position in the U.S.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a charge of $312 and $308, respectively.  The entire amount is attributable to the Promotional Products segment.

NOTE 5 -- SEGMENTS



Effective January 1, 2008, as a result of recent changes in management and agency structure and to be consistent with the way management now views business units internally, the Company consolidated its Consumer Products segment with its Promotional Products segment.  As part of this change, operating expenses previously recorded in the Corporate segment for the Companys Hong Kong office and certain centralized resources are now included in the Promotional Products segment.  Certain information presented in the tables below has been restated to conform to the current management structure as of January 1, 2008.



The Company has identified two reportable segments through which it conducts its operations: Agency Services and Promotional Products.  This reflects the structure and format of internal management reports provided to the chief operating decision maker.  The factors for determining the reportable segments were based on the distinct nature of their operations.  Each segment is responsible for executing a unique business strategy.  The Agency Services segment provides various services such as strategic planning and research, entertainment marketing, promotion, event marketing, collaborative marketing, retail design and environmental branding.  The Agency Services segment is a service-based business whose revenues are derived either from fees for hours worked or from fixed price retainer contracts.  The Promotional Products segment designs and contracts for the manufacture of promotional products used as free
premiums or sold in conjunction with the purchase of other items at a retailer or quick service restaurant.  Promotional Products are used for marketing purposes by both the companies sponsoring the promotions and the licensors of the entertainment properties on which the promotional programs are often based.  The Promotional Products segment manufactures product to order and derives its revenues primarily from the sale of such product to its clients as well as designs and contracts for the manufacture of toys and other consumer products for sale to major mass market and specialty retailers, who in turn sell the products to consumers.



Earnings of industry segments and geographic areas exclude interest income, interest expense, depreciation expense and other unallocated corporate expenses. Income taxes are allocated to segments on the basis of operating results.  Identified assets are those assets used in the operations of the segments and include inventory, receivables, goodwill and other intangibles.  Corporate assets consist of cash, certain corporate receivables, fixed assets, and certain trademarks.



The primary measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision maker is segment income (loss) from operations.

NOTE 7STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has three stock compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Under the plans, the Company has the ability to grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock bonuses, stock appreciation rights or performance units.  Stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and generally provide for vesting over a period of three to four years from the date of grant.  Such stock options were granted with exercise prices at or above the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.



The Company recognized no compensation expense for stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008.  No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008.



On March 3, 2008, the Company issued 925,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to seven senior executives.  The restricted share grants are being amortized to compensation expense over a three-year vesting period.  The closing price for EMAK Common Stock as of March 3, 2008, was $1.00 per share.  In connection with the restricted stock grants, the Company repurchased stock options from its CEO in order to increase the number of shares available for grant under the Companys Equity Compensation Plans.  The Company paid $16 to repurchase 375,000 fully vested stock options with an average exercise price of $9.89.  The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used in determining the valuation of the purchase price of the options repurchased.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the cash settlement of $16 was recorded as a repurchase of outstanding equity instruments and was charged to
additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 9SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In August 2008, the Company has implemented a restructuring plan designed to improve operational efficiencies by relocating the European headquarters of its Logistix agency from the United Kingdom to France.  The restructuring plan was communicated to affected employees on August 5, 2008.



The restructuring plan will result in the closure of one office location in Gerrards Cross, United Kingdom, and the elimination of ten full-time positions.  The Logistix agency will continue to operate from European offices in Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt, as well as domestic operations in the United States.  The Company expects the restructuring plan to result in a reduction of annualized operating expenses of approximately $1,500.



Total one-time employee termination benefit costs are estimated at approximately $225, and are expected to be recorded in the third quarter ending September 30, 2008.  The Company is analyzing options for the Gerrards Cross facility and is not currently able to estimate the costs of exiting the facility.  Such costs are expected to result in future cash expenditures.  All costs related to the restructuring plan are expected to be accrued and paid on or before December 31, 2008.



Effective January 1, 2003, Equity Marketing Hong Kong, Ltd. (EMHK), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Services Agreement with Pine Wisdom, Ltd., a Hong Kong company ("Pine Wisdom"), which provided for the provision of quality assurance (QA) services by a China-based subsidiary of Pine Wisdom.  The purpose of this arrangement was for Pine Wisdom, through their China subsidiary, to provide QA services with respect to products manufactured by EMHKs third-party vendors at factories located principally in Shenzhen, China.  During the second quarter of 2008, in order to enhance its in-house capabilities, EMHK decided to exercise its rights under the Services Agreement to acquire the QA services operations of Pine Wisdom and its China-based subsidiary.  The purchase price of HK$825 (or approximately US$106) reflected in the purchase agreement reflects
the net value of the assets of Pine Wisdom reflected on the balance sheet, consisting primarily of EMHK receivables and other reimbursement obligations, with fixed assets valued at HK$1.00.   The Company completed the purchase of Pine Wisdom on July 31, 2008.

Overview



Revenues for the second quarter of 2008 increased 2.6%, or $1,029, to $40,568 as compared to $39,539 recorded in the prior year.  Despite the increase in revenues and a $2,088 decrease in operating expenses, we experienced only a modest bottom line improvement, a net loss of $1,473 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of $1,819 in the second quarter of 2007, due to a decrease in gross profit.



The increase in revenues is primarily to the result of higher revenues at our Logistix agency in the U.S.  This increase was partially offset by lower agency services fees from our largest client as we transitioned out of certain retained agency services at the end of 2007.



The gross profit percentage decrease is attributable to lower creative fees, which have a higher gross profit, as well as increased product costs due to rising labor costs in Asia and increased costs for raw materials and freight.



Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 decreased 17.4% or $2,088 to $9,889 (24.4% of revenues) from $11,977 (30.3% of revenues) as a result of cost-cutting efforts initiated in 2007.  The restructurings plans we implemented in 2007 are evident in the reduced operating expenses through reductions in U.S. and European-based headcount as we adjust the size of our footprint around the world.  This decrease is also the result of our Lean enterprise process improvement program designed to streamline our operations.



We believe planned actions related to both the U.S. and European restructurings are substantially complete; however, we continue our efforts to align costs with revenues which could result in further restructuring charges through the remainder of 2008.  Further, the Company expects to recognize charges related to certain of its facility leases in the second half of 2008 (see Subsequent Events below).



In the second quarter of 2008, actions related to restructurings in the U.S. resulted in a charge of $314.  This charge is primarily related to severance expenses and other termination costs resulting from the elimination of a senior position in the U.S.



As our Upshot agency continues its growth with significantly higher retainer fees combined with growth in project work, we have better visibility to Agency Services revenues in the near term.  For our Promotional Products segment, Logistix is making the



18



necessary adjustments to achieve profitability; and Equity Marketings stable and visible revenues continue to provide a solid base for growth.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 (In Thousands):



Revenues



Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1,029, or 2.6%, to $40,568 from $39,539 in the comparable period in 2007.



Promotional Products revenues increased $1,094, or 3.4%, to $32,922.  This increase is primarily attributable to higher revenues at our Logistix agency in the U.S.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in certain retained agency services we no longer perform and lower revenues for Crayola® product due to the expiration of the remaining consumer products license at the end of the year.



Our Agency Services segment revenues decreased $65, or 0.8%, to $7,646.  This decrease is primarily attributable to lower agency services fees from our largest client as we transitioned out of certain retained agency services at the end of 2007.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase in both project work and higher levels of retainer revenues from new and existing clients at our Upshot agency.



Cost of sales and gross profit



Cost of sales increased $2,698 to $32,016 (78.9% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $29,318 (74.1% of revenues) in the comparable period in 2007 primarily as a result of increased product costs due to rising labor costs in Asia and increased costs for raw materials and freight.



Our gross profit percentage decreased to 21.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 25.9% in the comparable period for 2007.



The gross profit percentage for our Promotional Products segment for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to 18.2% compared to 24.8% for the comparable period in 2007.  This decrease is attributable to lower creative fees which have a higher gross profit as well as increased product costs due to rising labor costs in Asia and increased costs for raw materials and freight. These product cost increases could not be recaptured from clients.  The decrease is also attributable to a lower gross profit for Crayola® product.



The gross profit percentage for our Agency Services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased to 33.4% compared to 30.0% for the comparable period in 2007.  This increase is primarily attributable to a higher level of fee-based revenues from new and existing clients as compared to the same period last year.  Agency Services gross profit includes direct outside costs that fluctuate, making period-over-period comparables of the gross profit percentages difficult.  Typically billings



19



for direct outside costs, which are included in revenues, have very low gross profit.  In periods in which segment revenues contain significant direct outside costs, the overall gross profit percentage will be lower.



Salaries, wages and benefits



Salaries, wages and benefits decreased $1,723, or 25.1%, to $5,148 (12.7% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $6,871 (17.4% of revenues) in the comparable period for 2007.  This decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in U.S. and Europe-based headcounts as a result of our restructuring in 2007.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase at our Upshot agency as a result of new business.  Net foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact to salaries, wages and benefits of approximately $84 for Logistix (U.K.) versus the prior year period average exchange rates.



Selling, general and administrative expenses



Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $679, or 13.3%, to $4,427 (10.9% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $5,106 (12.9% of revenues) in the comparable period for 2007.  The decrease is attributable to lower costs for information technology consulting and consulting related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, partially offset by higher non-cash occupancy expense related to a new lease for Upshots Chicago office.  The decrease is also attributable to a reduction in travel and travel-related expenses resulting from cost saving initiatives.  Net foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact to selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $46 for Logistix (U.K.) versus the prior year period average exchange rates.



Restructuring charge



We recorded a restructuring charge of $314 (0.8% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This charge is primarily related to severance expenses and other termination costs resulting from the elimination of a senior position in the U.S.  See Restructuring below.



Other income (expense)



Other income (expense) decreased $67 to $(53) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $14 in the comparable period for 2007.  The decrease is primarily the result of interest expense of $30 as compared to interest income of $70 in 2007.



Provision for income taxes



Provision for income taxes was $83 and $77 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In 2007 and 2008, we recorded a tax provision for our Asia-based operations and recognized no tax provision (benefit) from our operations in the United States and the United Kingdom due to our valuation allowance.



Net loss



Net loss decreased $346 to $1,473 ((3.6)% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from a net loss of $1,819 ((4.6)% of revenues) in 2007.  This decrease is primarily due to lower salaries, wages and benefits resulting from a reduction in U.S. and Europe-based headcounts partially offset by a decrease in gross profit.



Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 (In Thousands):



Revenues



Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $3,528, or 4.7%, to $79,315 from $75,787 in the comparable period in 2007.



Promotional Products revenues increased $2,232, or 3.6%, to $63,749.  This increase is primarily attributable to higher revenues at our Equity Marketing agency as a result of higher unit volumes, as compared to the prior year, for both domestic and international promotional programs from our largest client.  This increase is also attributable to higher revenues at our Logistix agency in the U.S partially offset by a decrease at our Logistix (U.K.) agency due to a sizable, low-margin program shipped in 2007 that was not repeated in 2008 as well as a continued challenging environment in Europe.  Net foreign currency translation had a favorable impact to revenues of approximately $282 for Logistix (U.K.) versus the prior year period average exchange rates.



Our Agency Services segment revenues increased $1,296, or 9.1%, to $15,566.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in both project work and higher levels of retainer revenues from new and existing clients at our Upshot agency.  This increase was partially offset by lower agency services fees from our largest client as we transitioned out of certain retained agency services at the end of 2007.



20



Cost of sales and gross profit



Cost of sales increased $4,128 to $61,731 (77.8% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $57,603 (76.0% of revenues) in the comparable period in 2007 primarily as a result of higher sales volume in 2008 and increased product costs due to rising labor costs in Asia and increased costs for raw materials and freight.  These product cost increases could not be recaptured from clients.  Net foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact to cost of sales of approximately $193 for Logistix (U.K.) versus the prior year period average exchange rates.



Our gross profit percentage decreased to 22.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 24.0% in the comparable period for 2007.



The gross profit percentage for our Promotional Products segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to 19.7% compared to 22.9% for the comparable period in 2007.  This decrease is attributable to lower creative fees which have a higher gross profit as well as increased product costs due to rising labor costs in Asia and increased costs for raw materials and freight.

The decrease is also attributable to a lower gross profit for Crayola® product.



The gross profit percentage for our Agency Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased to 32.4% compared to 28.9% for the comparable period in 2007.  This increase is primarily attributable to a higher level of fee-based revenues from new and existing clients as compared to the same period last year.  Agency Services gross profit includes direct outside costs that fluctuate, making period-over-period comparables of the gross profit percentages difficult.  Typically billings for direct outside costs, which are included in revenues, have very low gross profit.  In periods in which segment revenues contain significant direct outside costs, the overall gross profit percentage will be lower.



Salaries, wages and benefits



Salaries, wages and benefits decreased $3,154, or 23.3%, to $10,380 (13.1% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $13,534 (17.9% of revenues) in the comparable period for 2007.  This decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in U.S. and Europe-based headcounts as a result of our restructuring in 2007.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase at our Upshot agency as a result of new business.  Net foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact to salaries, wages and benefits of approximately $152 for Logistix (U.K.) versus the prior year period average exchange rates.



Selling, general and administrative expenses



Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $351, or 4.0%, to $8,512 (10.7% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $8,863 (11.7% of revenues) in the comparable period for 2007.  The decrease is attributable to lower costs for information technology consulting and consulting related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, partially offset by higher non-cash occupancy expense related to a new lease for Upshots Chicago office.  The decrease is also attributable to a reduction in travel and travel-related expenses resulting from cost saving initiatives.  Net foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact to selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $46 for Logistix (U.K.) versus the prior year period average exchange rates.



Restructuring charge



We recorded a restructuring charge of $427 (0.5% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This charge is primarily related to severance expenses and other termination costs resulting from the elimination of a senior position in the U.S., closure of our Indianapolis warehouse and severance expenses and other termination costs resulting from headcount reductions in Europe and Asia.  See Restructuring below.



Other income (expense)



Other income (expense) increased $437 to $434 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $(3) in the comparable period for 2007.  The increase is primarily due to foreign currency gains of $462 as compared to ($79) in 2007 which is the result of the strengthening of the Euro relative to the British pound and the U.S. dollar partially offset by net interest expense of $48 as compared to net interest income of $72 in 2007.



22





Provision for income taxes



Provision for income taxes was $155 and $196 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In 2007 and 2008, we recorded a tax provision for our Asia-based operations and recognized no tax provision (benefit) from our operations in the United States and the United Kingdom due to our valuation allowance.



Net loss



Net loss decreased $2,956 to $1,456 ((1.8)% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from a net loss of $4,412 ((5.8)% of revenues) in 2007.  This decrease is primarily due to lower salaries, wages and benefits resulting from a reduction in U.S. and Europe-based headcounts partially offset by a decrease in gross profit.



Financial Condition and Liquidity



At June 30, 2008 cash and cash equivalents were $3,571, compared to $2,988 as of December 31, 2007.  At June 30, 2008, restricted cash was $0, compared to $390 as of December 31, 2007.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents was attributable to cash flows provided by operating activities.



As of June 30, 2008 working capital was $6,025 compared to $6,408 at December 31, 2007.  Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,506 compared to cash used in operations of $4,771 in the prior year period.  Cash flows provided by operations in the six months ended June 30, 2008 were primarily the result of customer payments.  Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $795 compared to $956 in the prior year period.  This decrease is primarily the result of cash provided from restricted cash that was used in 2007 to fund a bank guarantee to a new vendor of our Logistix (U.K.) subsidiary.  Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $16 compared to $0 in the prior year period as a result of the repurchase fully vested stock options.



As of June 30, 2008, our net accounts receivable decreased $639 to $23,838 from $24,477 at December 31, 2007.  The decrease was due to the seasonal nature of our business, as the fourth quarter tends to be the highest volume quarter of the year resulting in our highest accounts receivable levels each year.



As of June 30, 2008, inventories decreased $543 to $6,772 from $7,315 at December 31, 2007.  This decrease is attributable to the timing of shipments of products in the Promotional Products segment related to third quarter 2008 programs.



As of June 30, 2008, accounts payable increased $873 to $16,258 from $15,385 at December 31, 2007.  This increase was attributable to liabilities accrued related to a second quarter 2008 promotional program for the Logistix agency in the U.S.



As of June 30, 2008, accrued liabilities decreased $1,969 to $13,181 from $15,150 at December 31, 2007.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in deferred revenue earned in the first half of 2008 and a decrease in the accrual for selling expenses related to fourth quarter 2007 programs.



As of the date hereof, we believe that cash from operations, cash on hand at June 30, 2008 and our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.  The statements set forth herein are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.



Future minimum annual commitments for guaranteed minimum royalty payments under license agreements, non-cancelable operating leases and employment agreements as of June 30, 2008 are as follows:

Restructuring



As part of our decision to reorganize the Hong Kong office to better align operations with the current business needs, we recorded a charge for one-time termination benefits associated with staff reductions in our Hong Kong office.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a charge of $22.  The entire amount is attributable to the Promotional Products segment.



As part of our decision to align staffing costs with revenues, we eliminated one position at Logistix (U.K.) as a result of a less than optimal staff utilization rate resulting from a decrease in revenues.  In connection with this decision, we incurred charges for one-time employee termination benefits and other costs totaling $2 and $46 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  In August 2008, we have implemented a further restructuring plan in the U.K.  The entire amount is attributable to the Promotional Products segment.



As part of our decision to integrate the operations of our Equity Marketing and Logistix agencies in 2007, we recorded a charge of $312 for one-time termination benefits associated with the elimination of a senior position in the U.S.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a charge of $312 and $308, respectively.  The entire amount is attributable to the Promotional Products segment.



As part of our decision to streamline operations, we made the determination to close our Indianapolis warehouse effective February 19, 2008.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a charge of $51 for the lease termination related to the closure of the Indianapolis warehouse.  The entire amount is attributable to the Promotional Products segment.

Credit Facilities



On March 29, 2006, we entered into a credit facility (the Facility) with Bank of America.  The maturity date of the Facility is March 29, 2009 and renewal or replacement is not guaranteed.  However, the Company currently expects to either renew the existing line of credit or obtain an alternative line of credit which is adequate to meet its financing needs, including the ability to issue letters of credit.  The Facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and provides for a line of credit of up to $25,000 with borrowing availability determined by a formula based on qualified assets.  Interest on outstanding borrowings will be based on either a fixed rate equivalent to LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.50 and 3.00 percent or a variable rate equivalent to the banks reference rate plus an applicable spread of between 0.75 and 1.25 percent.  We are
also required to pay an unused line fee of between 0.375 and 0.50 percent per annum and certain letter of credit fees.  The applicable spread is based on the levels of borrowings relative to qualified assets.  The Facility also requires us to comply with certain restrictions and covenants as amended from time to time.  The Facility may be used for working capital and other corporate financing purposes.  On May 10, 2006, August 11, 2006, November 21, 2006, February 5, 2007 and July 30, 2008 certain covenants under the facility were amended.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, borrowing availability has ranged from $5,621 to $11,643.  As of June 30, 2008, the marginal interest rate on available borrowings under the Facility was 8.5%. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with the restrictions and covenants as amended.  As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, $0 was outstanding under the Facility.



Letters of credit outstanding under the Facility as of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 totaled $439 and $1,504, respectively.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



EMAKs critical accounting policies and estimates are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and have not changed during the first half of 2008.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.  SFAS No. 141(R): (i) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, (ii) changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, (iii) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, requires changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled, (iv) requires companies to revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information to reflect any adjustments as if they had been recorded on the acquisition date for acquisitions completed on or after January 1, 2009, (v) requires the
reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties to be recognized in earnings, and (vi) requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred.  SFAS No. 141(R) also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination to enhance financial statement users understanding of the nature and financial impact of the business combination.  SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with the exception of accounting for changes in a valuation allowance for acquired deferred tax assets and the resolution of uncertain tax positions accounted for under FIN 48, which is effective on January 1, 2009 for all acquisitions regardless of the date on which they were completed.  We have not completed our
evaluation of SFAS No. 141(R), but do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) to have a material effect on our operating results or financial position.



In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 requires: (i) qualitative disclosures about objectives for using derivatives by primary underlying risk exposure, (ii) information about the volume of derivative activity, (iii) tabular disclosures about
balance sheet location and gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments, income statement, and other comprehensive income location and amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments by type of contract, and (iv) disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  We have not completed our evaluation of SFAS No. 161, but do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.



In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities.  Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SECs) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have an impact on our operating results or financial position.



Subsequent Events



In August 2008, we implemented a restructuring plan designed to improve operational efficiencies by relocating the European headquarters of our Logistix agency from the United Kingdom to France.  The restructuring plan was communicated to affected employees on August 5, 2008.



The restructuring plan will result in the closure of one office location in Gerrards Cross, United Kingdom, and the elimination of ten full-time positions.  The Logistix agency will continue to operate from European offices in Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt, as well as domestic operations in the United States.  We expect the restructuring plan to result in a reduction of annualized operating expenses of approximately $1,500.



Total one-time employee termination benefit costs are estimated at approximately $225, and are expected to be recorded in the third quarter ending September 30, 2008.  We are analyzing options for the Gerrards Cross facility and are not currently able to



25



estimate the costs of exiting the facility.  Such costs are expected to result in future cash expenditures.  All costs related to the restructuring plan are expected to be accrued and paid on or before December 31, 2008.



Effective January 1, 2003, Equity Marketing Hong Kong, Ltd. (EMHK), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Services Agreement with Pine Wisdom, Ltd., a Hong Kong company ("Pine Wisdom"), which provided for the provision of quality assurance (QA) services by a China-based subsidiary of Pine Wisdom.  The purpose of this arrangement was for Pine Wisdom, through their China subsidiary, to provide QA services with respect to products manufactured by EMHKs third-party vendors at factories located principally in Shenzhen, China.  During the second quarter of 2008, in order to enhance its in-house capabilities, EMHK decided to exercise its rights under the Services Agreement to acquire the QA services operations of Pine Wisdom and its China-based subsidiary.  The purchase price of HK$825 (or approximately US$106) reflected in the purchase agreement reflects
the net value of the assets of Pine Wisdom reflected on the balance sheet, consisting primarily of EMHK receivables and other reimbursement obligations, with fixed assets valued at HK$1.00.  We completed the purchase of Pine Wisdom on July 31, 2008.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Our exposure to market risks has not changed materially since December 31, 2007.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.



The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of June 30, 2008, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective.



Changes in internal control over financial reporting.



There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
