2. SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of
Presentation  The consolidated financial statements, except for the
December 31, 2005 consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of
stockholders equity and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2005,
are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006
and 2005, and stockholders equity and comprehensive income for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Because of the inherent seasonality and changing
trends of the toy, game, entertainment and advertising industries, operating results for
the Company on a quarterly basis may not be indicative of operating results for the full
year.

These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005, which are
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to such period
that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The December 31, 2005
consolidated balance sheet amounts are derived from the Companys audited
consolidated financial statements.


Revenue
Recognition  Merchandise licensing revenues:
Licensing revenues, net of licensor participations, are recognized when the underlying
royalties from the sales of the related products are earned. The Company recognizes
guaranteed royalties, net of licensor participations, at the time the arrangement becomes
effective if the Company has no significant direct continuing involvement with the
underlying Property or obligation to the licensee. Where the Company has significant
continuing direct involvement with the underlying Property or obligation to the licensee,
guaranteed minimum royalties, net of licensor participations, are recognized ratably over
the term of the license or based on sales of the related products, if greater. Licensing
advances and guaranteed payments collected but not yet earned by the Company are
classified as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Broadcast advertising
revenues: Advertising revenues are recognized when the related commercials
are aired and are recorded net of agency commissions and net of an appropriate reserve
when advertising is sold together with a guaranteed audience delivery. Internet
advertising revenues are recognized on the basis of impression views in the period the
advertising is displayed. Fee-based commissions for media planning and buying services,
for clients in both print and broadcast media, are recognized at the time the related
media runs.


Episodic television series
revenues: Television series initially produced for networks and first-run
syndication are generally licensed to domestic and foreign markets concurrently. The
length of the revenue cycle for episodic television varies depending on the number of
seasons a series remains in active exploitation. Revenues arising from television license
agreements, net of licensor participations, are recognized in the period that the films or
episodic television series are available for telecast.


Production and adaptation costs
charged to the licensor are included in net revenues and the corresponding costs are
included in production service costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income. Production service costs included in net revenues amounted to $2,433 and $2,136
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.


Home video
revenues: Revenues from home video and DVD sales, net of a reserve for
returns, are recognized, net of licensor participations, on the date that video and DVD
units are shipped by the Companys distributor to wholesalers/retailers. Consistent
with the practice in the home video industry, the Company estimates the reserve for
returns based upon its review of historical returns rates and expected future performance.


Music revenues:
Revenues from music sales, net of licensor participations, and net of a reserve for
returns, are recognized on the date units are shipped by the Companys distributor to
wholesalers/retailers as reported to the Company. In the case of musical performance
revenues, the revenue is recognized when the musical recordings are broadcast and/or
performed.


Prepaid 4Kids TV Broadcast
Fee  The Company capitalized the broadcast fee paid to Fox and
amortized the amount of such fee over the broadcast season based on estimated advertising
revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company paid Fox and certain
affiliates $3,167 attributable to the fourth years broadcast fees, and during
calendar year 2005, the Company paid Fox and certain affiliates $6,768 and $19,255
attributable to the third and fourth years broadcast fees, respectively. The
unamortized portion of these fees of $4,965 and $6,606, are included in Prepaid
4Kids TV broadcast fee on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March
31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.


Film and Television
Costs  The Company accounts for its film and television costs
pursuant to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 00-2, Accounting by Producers or
Distributors of Films. The cost of production for television programming, including
overhead, participations and talent residuals is capitalized and amortized using the
individual-film-forecast method under which such costs are amortized for each television
program in the ratio that revenue earned in the current period for such program bears to
managements estimate of the ultimate revenues to be realized from all media and
markets for such program. Management regularly reviews, and revises when necessary, its
ultimate revenue estimates on a title-by-title basis, which may result in a change in the
rate of amortization applicable to such title and/or a write-down of the value of such
title to estimated fair value. These revisions can result in significant
quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year fluctuations in film write-downs and rates of
amortization. If a total net loss is projected for a particular title, the associated film
and television costs are written down to estimated fair value. All exploitation costs,
including advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Television adaptation
and production costs that are adapted and/or produced are stated at the lower of cost,
less accumulated amortization, or fair value.

Translation of Foreign Currency
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, the Company classifies
items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and
displays the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the consolidated balance
sheet. The assets and liabilities of the Companys foreign subsidiary, 4Kids
Entertainment International, have been recorded in their local currency and translated to
U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items have been
translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Any adjustment
resulting from translating the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary is reflected
as other comprehensive income, net of related tax. Comprehensive income for
the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, was $1,622 and $1,869, respectively, which
included translation adjustments of $74 and ($95) for the respective periods.


Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements  Share-Based Payments In December 2004, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments
(SFAS No. 123-R). SFAS No. 123-R is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
as amended, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS No.123-R eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value
method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123, which generally resulted in
no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the issuance of
equity awards to employees. SFAS No. 123-R requires that the cost resulting from all
share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No.
123-R establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based
payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement
method in accounting for generally all share-based payment transactions with employees.


SFAS No. 123-R is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R
effective January 1, 2006, using a modified prospective application. This application
requires the Company to record compensation expense for all awards granted after January
1, 2006 and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding
as of such date. The Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123-R did not result in the
recording of compensation expense in 2006 with respect to options previously granted as
all of the Companys outstanding options were fully vested at December 31, 2005. The
adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations.


Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes
and Error Corrections(SFAS No. 154).SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No.
20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes
in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for,
and reporting of, a change in accounting principles.  SFAS No. 154 applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principles and to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific
transition provisions.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption
of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial position or results of operations.


Determining the Amortization
Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a
Business Combination In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period
for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business
Combination (EITF No. 05-6). EITF No. 05-6provides that
leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after, and not
contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the
shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods
and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold
improvements are purchased. Leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination
should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that
includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at
the date of acquisition. The Company is required to apply EITF No. 05-6 to leasehold
improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after
June 30, 2005. The adoption of this Issue did not have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.


Accounting for Income Taxes
 In July 2005, the FASB issued an exposure draft of an Interpretation of SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertain tax positions. An enterprise is required to recognize, in its financial
statements, the best estimate of the impact of a tax position only if that position is
probable of being sustained based solely on the technical merits of the position. In
evaluating whether the probable recognition threshold has been met, this Interpretation
would require the presumption that the tax position will be evaluated during an audit by
taxing authorities. The term probable is used in this Interpretation consistent with its
use in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, to mean that the future
event or events are likely to occur. Individual tax positions that fail to meet the
probable recognition threshold will generally result in the inability to recognize the
benefit of such position in the financial statements. This Interpretation also provides
guidance on disclosure, accrual of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods
and transition. This Interpretation applies to financial statements effective as of the
end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this
Interpretation did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

3. STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE
COMPENSATION


The Company has stock-based
compensation plans for employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The
plans provide for discretionary grants of stock options, restricted stock shares, and
other stock-based awards. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, consisting of non-employee directors.


Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), utilizing the modified
prospective method whereby prior periods will not be restated for comparability. SFAS 123R
requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the statement of operations
over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date.
Previously, the Company used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25),
as amended by related interpretations of the FASB. Under APB 25, no compensation cost was
recognized for stock options because the quoted market price of the stock at the grant
date was equal to the amount per share the employee had to pay to acquire the stock after
fulfilling the vesting period. SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 as well as Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
which permitted pro forma footnote disclosures to report the difference between the fair
value method and the intrinsic value method. The Company recognized expense for restricted
share grants under the previous guidance, so the impact from adopting SFAS 123R pertains
to the requirement to expense stock options (including employee stock purchase plan
options). For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company did not grant any stock
options, restricted stock shares, or any other stock-based awards, and therefore the
adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations.


The following table provides the pro
forma effect on net earnings as if the fair-value-based measurement method had been
applied to all stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2005:

|The Company issued stock option
grants for underlying shares of 776, at an average weighted average exercise price of
$19.99 in 2005. The stock option grants (i) have a five year life; (ii) were immediately
exercisable with respect to 50 percent of the underlying shares; and (iii) became
exercisable with respect to the remaining 50 percent by December 31, 2005.

The fair value of each option grant
is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
weighted average assumptions used for options granted in 2005 included no dividend yield
for the period, expected volatility of approximately 38%, a risk-free interest rate of
approximately 3.76%, and an option duration of 3.6 years for 2005. The weighted average
fair value of options granted in fiscal 2005 is $6.55.

activity under our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2006:

|The aggregate intrinsic value is
calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the
quoted price of our common stock for those awards that have an exercise price currently
below the closing price. As of March 31, 2006, we had options outstanding to purchase an
aggregate of 892 shares with an exercise price below the quoted price of our stock,
resulting in an aggregate intrinsic value of $6,544. During the three months ended March
31, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under our stock
option plans was $9 and $173, respectively, determined as of the date of exercise.


4. DEFERRED REVENUE


Music  In July 2002,
4Kids Music granted a right to receive a 50% interest in the Companys net share of
the music revenues from currently existing music produced by the Company for its
television programs (excluding Pokémon) (Current Music Assets) to an
unaffiliated third party in an arms length transaction for $3,000. Further, the Company
agreed to grant a right to receive a 50% interest in the Companys net share of music
revenues from future music to be produced by the Company for its television programs
(excluding Pokémon) (Future Music Assets) to the same third party for
$2,000. In consideration of the grant of Future Music Assets, the Company received $750 in
June 2003 and $750 in June 2004 and $500 in June 2005.


The Company has deferred all amounts
received under the contract, and recognizes revenue as the Current Music Assets and Future
Music Assets generate revenue over the contract term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of
the date the Company has delivered all of the Future Music Assets required under the
contract, any portion of the $5,000 that remains deferred and not recognized, will be
recognized as revenue. Pursuant to the above, the Company recognized revenues of $189
and $102 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company has
included $2,931 and $3,120 as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.


Home Video  At various
dates since May 2002, 4Kids Home Video, entered into various agreements with an
unaffiliated third party home video distributor (the Video Distributor),
pursuant to which 4Kids Home Video provides ongoing advertising, marketing and promotional
services with respect to certain home video titles that are owned or controlled by the
Company and which are distributed by the Video Distributor. The Video Distributor has paid
the Company cumulative advances of $3,882 (during the three months ended March 31, 2006
the Company received $37 in advances) against 4Kids Home Videos share of the
distribution and service fee proceeds to be realized by 4Kids Home Video from such titles.
Pursuant to the above, the Company recognized revenue of $26 and $3 for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company has included $472 and $461 as
deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, respectively.


Other Agreements  In
addition, the Company entered into other agreements for various properties and advertising
time on 4Kids TV in which the Company has received certain advances and/or minimum
guarantees. As of March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the unearned portion of these
advances and guaranteed payments were $1,487 and $1,716, respectively, and are included in
deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

| | a. | 4Kids TV Broadcast Agreement  In January 2002, the Company entered
               into a multi-year agreement with Fox to lease Foxs Saturday morning
               programming block which airs on Saturday mornings from 8am to 12pm
               eastern/pacific time (7am to 11am central time), and which the Company
               originally called the Fox Box. In January 2005, the Company
               re-branded the Fox Box as 4Kids TV. The Company provides
               substantially all programming content to be broadcast on 4Kids TV and retains
               all of the revenue from network advertising sales for the four-hour time period.
               4Kids Ad Sales, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company manages and
               accounts for the ad revenue and costs associated with 4Kids TV.

| | In
March 2006, the multi-year agreement was extended for two broadcast years through the
2007-2008 broadcast season. As of March 31, 2006, one payment of $3,163 remains to be paid
for the 2005-2006 broadcast season under the original agreement. The time-buy fee for each
of the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 broadcast seasons will be $20,000 as compared to the
$25,312 paid for each broadcast year during the initial term of the multi-year agreement.
The fee is payable in quarterly installments of $5,000 each year beginning in October
2006. The extension also provides Fox with the option to extend the agreement through the
2008-2009 broadcast season under the same terms and conditions by providing notice to the
Company no later than August 31, 2007.

| | The
costs of 4Kids TV is capitalized and amortized over each broadcast year based on estimated
advertising revenue for the related broadcast year. The Company recorded amortization
expenses of $4,808 and $4,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company paid Fox and
certain Fox affiliates $3,167 attributable to the fourth years broadcast fees, and
during calendar year 2005, the Company paid Fox and certain Fox affiliates $6,768 and
$19,255 attributable to the third and fourth years broadcast fees, respectively. The
unamortized portion of these fees of $4,965 and $6,606 are included in Prepaid 4Kids
TV broadcast fee on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

| | In
addition to the time-buy fee paid to Fox, the Company will incur additional costs to
program the four-hour block and sell the related network advertising time. These costs
will include direct programming costs to acquire, adapt and deliver programming for the
broadcast during the weekly four-hour block as well as additional indirect expenses of
advertising sales, promotion and administration.

| | The
Companys ability to recover the cost of its fee payable to Fox will depend on the
popularity of the television programs the Company broadcasts on 4Kids TV and the general
market demand and pricing of advertising time for Saturday morning childrens
broadcast television. The popularity of such programs impacts audience levels and the
level of the network advertising rates that the Company can charge. Additionally, the
success of the merchandise licensing programs and home video sales based on such
television programs broadcast on 4Kids TV is dependent on consumer acceptance of the
Properties. If the Company estimates that it will be unable to generate sufficient future
revenue from advertising sales, home video sales and merchandising licensing at levels to
cover the cost of its contractual obligation to Fox, the Company would record a charge to
earnings to reflect an expected loss on the Fox agreement in the period in which the
deficiency of factors affecting the recoverability of the fee payable become known. The
Company will be required to make certain assumptions and estimates about future events
such as advertising rates and audience viewing levels in evaluating its ability to recover
the cost of the 4Kids TV fee. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to market forces
and factors beyond the control of the Company and are inherently subject to change. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover the full cost of the 4Kids TV
fee and in the event it cannot, it would record the resulting charge to earnings to
reflect an expected loss on the 4Kids TV fee, which could be significant.

| | b. | Contractual Arrangements  During the normal course of business, the
               Company may enter into various agreements with third parties to license,
               acquire, distribute, broadcast, develop and/or promote properties. The terms of
               these agreements will vary based on the services and/or properties included
               within the agreement, as well as the other terms and conditions set forth
               therein.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT


On April 6, 2006, the Company
announced the termination of Steven M. Grossmans employment with the Company as
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective immediately.  In
addition, on April 6, 2006, the Company and Mr. Grossman entered into an agreement (the
Release Agreement), and Mr. Grossman resigned from the Board of Directors as
of that date.  Pursuant to the Release Agreement and his employment agreement with
the Company, Mr. Grossman will receive his salary, the average of the bonus paid to him
and his car allowance for the greater of two years or the Term. Mr. Grossman will also
continue to receive his group health benefits for two years. If Mr. Grossman accepts
other employment while receiving payments from the Company, 50% of the amount he receives
from such new employment shall reduce the amount due Mr. Grossman after termination. If
Mr. Grossman receives health insurance coverage and/or a car allowance from such new
employment, the Company shall cease paying for any such benefit received by Mr. Grossman
from such new employment. Mr. Grossman is also bound by certain non-compete provisions for
a one-year period after his date of termination.  In the second quarter of 2006, the
Company expects to accrue an expense of approximately $1,500, representing the amount due
to Mr. Grossman pursuant to the Release Agreement and the employment agreement.


10. SEGMENT AND RELATED
INFORMATION


The Company applies SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company
has three reportable segments: (i) Licensing; (ii) Advertising, Media and Broadcast; and
(iii) Television and Film Production/Distribution. The Companys reportable segments
are strategic business units, which, while managed separately, work together as a
vertically integrated entertainment company. The Companys management regularly
evaluates the performance of each segment based on its net revenues, profit and loss after
all expenses, including amortized film and television costs and the 4Kids TV broadcast fee
and interest income.


The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting
policies. The Companys Television and Film Production/ Distribution segment recorded
inter-segment revenues and the Companys Advertising, Media and Broadcast segment
recorded inter-segment charges related to the estimated acquisition costs of episodic
television series for broadcast. In the opinion of management, such acquisition costs
represent the estimated fair value which would have been incurred in a transaction between
unaffiliated third parties on an arms length basis. All inter-segment transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

Item 2. Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(In thousands
of dollars unless otherwise specified)


Overview


The Companys operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 2006, reflect an overall decrease in international
program sales for the Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
properties and decreased media buying commissions, partially offset by increased revenue
from the production of Pokémon, as compared to the same period in 2005.


General


The Company receives revenues from
its three business segments: (i) Licensing; (ii) Advertising, Media and Broadcasting; and
(iii) Television and Film Production/Distribution. The Company typically derives a
substantial portion of its licensing revenues from a small number of Properties, which
Properties usually generate revenues only for a limited period of time. Since the
Companys licensing revenues are highly subject to changing trends in the toy, game
and entertainment businesses, the Companys licensing revenues from year-to-year from
particular properties are subject to dramatic increases and decreases. It is not possible
to accurately predict the length of time a property will be commercially successful or if
a property will be commercially successful at all. Popularity of properties can vary from
months to years. As a result, the Companys revenues from particular Properties may
fluctuate significantly between comparable periods.


The Companys licensing revenues
have historically been derived primarily from the licensing of toy and game concepts.
Thus, a substantial portion of the Companys revenues and net income are subject to
the seasonal variations of the toy and game industry. Typically, a majority of toy orders
are shipped in the third and fourth calendar quarters resulting in increased royalties
earned by the Company during such calendar quarters. In addition, the Companys media
buying subsidiary, Summit Media, provides media services to a significant number of toy
and video game companies which place a substantial portion of their overall annual
advertising in the fourth quarter. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of
advertising time on 4Kids TV as more fully described in Note 2 to the Companys
consolidated financial statements. The Companys advertising sales subsidiary, 4Kids
Ad Sales, sells advertising time on 4Kids TV at higher rates in the fourth quarter due to
the increased demand for commercial time by childrens advertisers during the holiday
season. As a result, much of the revenues of Summit Media and 4Kids Ad Sales are earned in
the fourth quarter when the majority of toy and video game advertising occurs. As a result
of the foregoing, the Company has historically experienced greater revenues during the
second half of the year than during the first half of the year.


Critical Accounting
Policies


The Companys accounting
policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Companys
consolidated financial statements. Below is a summary of the critical accounting policies,
among others, that management believes involve significant judgments and estimates used in
the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.


Accounting for Film and Television
Costs -  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States and industry practice, the Company amortizes the costs of production for
film and television programming using the individual-film-forecast method under which such
costs are amortized for each film or television program in the ratio that revenue earned
in the current period for such title bears to managements estimate of the total
revenues to be realized from all media and markets for such title. All exploitation costs,
including advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.




Management regularly reviews, and
revises when necessary, its total revenue estimates on a title-by-title basis, which may
result in a change in the rate of amortization and/or a write-down of the film or
television asset to estimated fair value. The Company determines the estimated fair value
for individual film and television Properties based on the estimated future ultimate
revenues and costs in accordance with Statement of Position No. 00-2, Accounting by
Producers and Distributors of Film (SOP No. 00-2).


Any revisions to ultimate revenues
can result in significant quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year fluctuations in film and
television write-downs and amortization. A typical film or television series recognizes a
substantial portion of its ultimate revenues within the first three years of release. By
then, the film or television series has been exploited in the domestic and international
television (network and cable) and home video markets. In addition, a significant portion
of licensing revenues associated with the film or television series will have been
realized. A similar portion of the films or television series capitalized
costs should be expected to be amortized accordingly, assuming the film or television
series is profitable.

The commercial potential of
individual films and television programming varies dramatically, and is not directly
correlated with production or acquisition costs. Therefore, it is difficult to predict or
project the impact that individual films or television programming will have on the
Companys results of operations. However, the likelihood that the Company reports
losses, particularly in the year of a television series initial release, is increased as
the applicable accounting literature requires the immediate recognition of all of the
production or acquisition costs (through increased amortization) in instances where it is
estimated that the ultimate revenues of a film or television series will not recover those
costs. Conversely, the profit from a film or television series must be deferred and
recognized over the entire revenue stream generated by that film or television series. As
a result, significant fluctuations in reported income or loss can occur, particularly on a
quarterly basis, depending on release schedules and broadcast dates, the timing of
advertising campaigns and the relative performance of individual film or television
series.


Other
Estimates -   The Company estimates reserves for future returns of
product in the home video markets as well as provisions for uncollectible receivables. In
determining the estimate of home video product sales that will be returned, the Company
performs an analysis that considers historical returns, changes in customer demand and
current economic trends. Based on this information, a percentage of each sale is reserved
provided that the customer has the right of return. The Company estimates the amount of
uncollectible receivables for licensing and advertising by monitoring delinquent accounts
and estimating a reserve based on contractual terms and other customer specific issues.



Revenue Recognition  The
Companys revenue recognition policies for its three business segments are
appropriate to the circumstances of each segments business. See Note 2 of the Notes
to the Companys consolidated financial statements for a discussion of these revenue
recognition policies.


4Kids TV Broadcast Agreement
 The Company broadcasts certain of its Properties on 4Kids TV, the Saturday morning
programming block that the Company leases from Fox. The cost of 4Kids TV has been and will
continue to be capitalized and amortized over each broadcast year based on estimated
advertising revenue. In developing future estimated revenues, the Company has made certain
assumptions with regard to the anticipated popularity of the television series the Company
broadcasts on 4Kids TV and the general market demand and pricing of advertising time for
Saturday morning childrens broadcast television. The popularity of such series
impacts audience levels and the level of the network advertising rates that the Company
can charge. These estimates are based on historical trends, as well as the Companys
subjective judgment of future customer demand and acceptance of its television
programming. Differences may result in the amount and timing of revenue for any period if
actual performance varies from the Companys estimates. See Note 8 of the Notes to
the Companys consolidated financial statements for additional information.


Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Companys
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates the policies and
estimates it uses to prepare its consolidated financial statements. In general,
managements estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, known
trends or events, information from third-party professionals and other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions and conditions.


Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements  Share-Based Payments In December 2004, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments
(SFAS No. 123-R). SFAS No. 123-R is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
as amended, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS No.123-R eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value
method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123, which generally resulted in
no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the issuance of
equity awards to employees. SFAS No. 123-R requires that the cost resulting from all
share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No.
123-R establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based
payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement
method in accounting for generally all share-based payment transactions with employees.


SFAS No. 123-R is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R
effective January 1, 2006, using a modified prospective application. This application
requires the Company to record compensation expense for all awards granted after January
1, 2006 and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding
as of such date. The Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123-R did not result in the
recording of compensation expense in 2006 with respect to options previously granted as
all of the Companys outstanding options were fully vested at December 31, 2005. The
adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations.


15



Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes
and Error Corrections(SFAS No. 154).SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No.
20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes
in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for,
and reporting of, a change in accounting principles.  SFAS No. 154 applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principles and to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific
transition provisions.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption
of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial position or results of operations.


Determining the Amortization
Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a
Business Combination In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period
for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business
Combination (EITF No. 05-6). EITF No. 05-6provides that
leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after, and not
contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the
shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods
and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold
improvements are purchased. Leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination
should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that
includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at
the date of acquisition. The Company is required to apply EITF No. 05-6 to leasehold
improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after
June 30, 2005. The adoption of this Issue did not have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.


Accounting for Income Taxes
 In July 2005, the FASB issued an exposure draft of an Interpretation of SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertain tax positions. An enterprise would be required to recognize, in its financial
statements, the best estimate of the impact of a tax position only if that position is
probable of being sustained based solely on the technical merits of the position. In
evaluating whether the probable recognition threshold has been met, this Interpretation
would require the presumption that the tax position will be evaluated during an audit by
taxing authorities. The term probable is used in this Interpretation consistent with its
use in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, to mean that the future
event or events are likely to occur. Individual tax positions that fail to meet the
probable recognition threshold will generally result in the inability to recognize the
benefit of such position in the financial statements. This Interpretation also provides
guidance on disclosure, accrual of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods
and transition. This Interpretation applies to financial statements effective as of the
end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this
Interpretation did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

|The decrease in consolidated net
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005,
was due to a number of factors. In the Licensing segment, decreased revenues were
primarily attributable to:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i) | reduced licensing revenues on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
               property domestically and Shaman King property internationally; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii) | reduced domestic and international licensing revenue and marketing fees on
               Yu-Gi-Oh! related merchandise, trading cards and video game sales;
               substantially offset by
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iii) | increased revenues attributable to the Cabbage Patch and GI
               Joe properties domestically, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja
               Turtles and Winx Club properties internationally.
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Despite lower licensing revenues, the Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles properties continue to be among the largest contributors to the
Companys revenues in this business segment. In addition, revenues for the
Cabbage Patch property, also one of the largest contributors in this segment,
increased substantially in 2006.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In the Advertising Media and
Broadcasting segment, revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2006 when
compared to the same period in 2005. Revenues from decreased media buying commissions were
partially offset by increased ad sales revenues.




17



In the Television and Film
Production/Distribution segment, the revenue decline for the three months ended March 31,
2006, when compared to the same period in 2005 primarily resulted from:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i) | decreased international broadcast sales of the Yu-Gi-Oh! and
          Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series; partially offset by
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii) | increased domestic home video sales of the Sonic X, Teenage
          Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Yu-Gi-Oh! television series.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses


Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 1% or $125 to $8,981 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 when
compared to the same period in 2005. Increased payroll and personnel expenses, were
partially offset by decreased advertising and promotional costs.


Production Service and
Capitalized Film Costs


Production service and capitalized
film costs were as follows:


For the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|                                          | 2006 | 2005   | $ Change | % Change
|----------------------------------------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | --------
|Production Service Costs                  |      | $2,876 |          | $2,136  
|Amortization of Television and Film Costs |      | 1,646  |          | 2,083   

|The increase in production service
costs during the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in
2005, was primarily due to increased production costs for the work performed on producing
the Pokémon and Viva Piñata television series,
partially offset by decreased costs for the Kirby television series. When the
Company is entitled to be paid for such production costs, the Company categorizes them as
production service costs and reflects a corresponding amount in revenue for the amount
billed back to the property owners.


The decrease in the  amortization  of television and film costs is  principally  due to the reduced  amortization  resulting
from a reduction  in the realized  revenue on the Teenage  Mutant Ninja  Turtles  and Shaman  King  television  series;
partially offset by the increased amortization of the new Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and GI Joe television series during 2006.


As of March 31, 2006, there was
$13,390 of capitalized film production costs recorded in the Companys consolidated
balance sheet relating primarily to various stages of production on 368 episodes of
animated programming. Based on managements ultimate revenue estimates as of March
31, 2006, approximately 56% of the total completed and unamortized film and television
costs are expected to be amortized during the next year, and over 90% of the total
completed and unamortized film and television costs are expected to be amortized during
the next three years.


4Kids TV Broadcast Fee
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|                                       | 2006 | 2005   | $ Change | % Change
|-------------------------------------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | --------
|Amortization of 4Kids TV Broadcast Fee |      | $4,808 |          | $4,587  

|As a result of the broadcast year
(ending each year in September) being different than the Companys fiscal year
(ending each year in December), the amount of the amortization recognized from period to
period will vary based upon (i) the amount of advertising revenue recognized during the
period; and (ii) the amount of advertising revenue already recognized for the broadcast
year as a percentage of the total amount expected to be recognized for the full broadcast
year. Based on the increased advertising revenue recognized by the Company during the
first quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005 and the greater percentage of the total
advertising revenues already recognized, the Companys amortization of the 4Kids TV
broadcast fee increased $221 to $4,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. Through March 31, 2006 and 2005, the
Company had amortized 67% and 65%, respectively, of the 4Kids TV broadcast fee for the
fourth and third broadcast year, an increase of 2%.



18



In addition to advertising revenues,
the operating costs of 4Kids Ad Sales, Inc. and the amortization of the 4Kids TV broadcast
fee, the overall impact of 4Kids TV on the Companys results of operations includes:


     (i)  
          revenues generated from merchandise licensing, home videos and music publishing
          of 4Kids TV Properties, and (ii)   production and acquisition costs associated
          with the television programs broadcast on 4Kids TV.


The ability of the Company to further
develop its merchandising, and to a lesser extent, home video and music publishing revenue
streams were significant components of its evaluation process which resulted in the
decision to lease the 4Kids TV Saturday morning programming block.


Interest Income


Interest income increased 37%, or
$240, to $887 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, as a result
of the increasing interest rate environment, and higher average cash balances invested.


Income Tax Expense


Income tax expense decreased 36%, or
$464, to $823 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, due
primarily to decreased income before income taxes. The Companys effective tax rate
decreased to 35% at March 31, 2006, as compared to 40% in 2005. The reduction in the
effective tax rate is principally due to a shift in the Companys investment strategy
toward tax-exempt securities during 2006.


Net Income


As a result of the above, the Company
had net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006, of $1,548, as compared to $1,964
for the same period in 2005.


Liquidity and Capital
Resources


Financial Position


Cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|                          |      |           |         

|During the three months ended March
31, 2006, the Companys cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances
increased by $12,700 to $126,255, primarily as a result of cash collections of seasonally
high fourth quarter accounts receivable and an increase in due to licensors. The increase
was partially offset as a result of payments made to Fox and certain affiliates for the
4Kids TV broadcast agreement.


Sources and Uses of Cash


Cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Sources              | 2006 | 2005     | $ Changes
|-------------------- | ---- | -------- | ---------
|Operating Activities |      | $ 12,635 |          
|                     |      |          |          
|Investing Activities |      | (35,302  | )        
|                     |      |          |          
|Financing Activities |      | 27       |          
|                     |      |          |          

|Working capital, consisting of
current assets less current liabilities, was $130,422 as of March 31, 2006, and $129,576
as of December 31, 2005. The increase in cash flows from operating activities is
principally due to lower accounts receivable and an increase in the Companys
obligations to licensors, partially offset by lower net income.


As of March 31, 2006, the Company had
$113,649 invested in auction-rate securities and short-term government obligations. The
2006-2005 reduction in cash flows from investing activities is primarily due to the
Companys purchase of auction-rate securities as an investment strategy for its
excess cash balances. During 2006, the Company purchased property and equipment of $36,
which was comprised primarily of computer equipment, as compared to purchases of property
and equipment of $319 in 2005. Funds required for the purchase of property and equipment
in 2006 are expected to be similar to that of 2005.



19



Cash flows used in financing
activities were primarily the result of proceeds from the exercise of stock options by the
Companys employees of $23.


During the three months ended March
31, 2006, the Companys cash flow from operations was impacted by consumer demand for
a limited number of its licensed Properties.  Due to changing trends in the toy, game
and entertainment business and the difficulty in predicting the length of time a property
will be commercially successful, the Companys revenues, operating results and cash
flow from operations may fluctuate significantly from year to year and present operating
results that are not necessarily indicative of future performance.


Historically, the majority of the
television-based Properties the Company represented were existing episodes of foreign
produced programming that the Company adapted for the United States and other
markets.  The Company is now seeking to increase the number of new animated
television programs that the Company will be producing and which will be owned in whole or
in part by the Company. The cost of producing new programs is substantially more than the
cost of producing adaptations of existing animated programs. Accordingly, the production
costs associated with developing original animated programming will result in increased
capitalized film and television costs for the Company.  If a Property consisting of
new animated programs produced by the Company performs at a level less than the
Companys expectations, the Company may have to amortize substantially higher
production costs related to such Property over a shorter period of time. This increased
amortization of the higher production costs of new animated programs produced by the
Company, could materially and adversely affect the Companys financial performance.
While the Company expects that the revenues associated with such newly produced programs
will be sufficient to maintain its historical operating margins, there can be no assurance
that such revenues will be realized.


4Kids TV Broadcast
Agreement


In January 2002, the Company entered
into a multi-year agreement with Fox to lease Foxs Saturday morning programming
block. In December 2004, the Company rebranded the Fox Box to 4Kids
TV. The Company provides substantially all programming content to be broadcast on
4Kids TV, which airs on Saturday mornings from 8 am to 12 pm eastern/pacific time (7 am to
11 am central time) and retains all of the revenue from network advertising sales for the
four-hour time period. 4Kids Ad Sales, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
manages and accounts for the ad revenue and costs associated with 4Kids TV.


In March 2006, the multi-year
agreement was extended for two broadcast years through the 2007-2008 broadcast season. As
of March 31, 2006, one payment of $3,163 remains to be paid for the 2005-2006 broadcast
season under the original agreement. The time-buy fee for each of the 2006-2007 and
2007-2008 broadcast seasons will be $20,000 as compared to the $25,312 paid for each
broadcast year during the initial term of the multi-year agreement. The fee is payable in
quarterly installments of $5,000 each year beginning in October 2006. The extension also
provides Fox with the option to extend the agreement through the 2008-2009 broadcast
season on the same terms and conditions by providing notice to the Company no later than
August 31, 2007.


In addition to the time-buy fee paid
to Fox, the Company will incur additional costs to program the four-hour block and sell
the related network advertising time. These costs will include direct programming costs to
acquire, adapt and deliver programming for the broadcast during the weekly four-hour block
as well as additional indirect expenses of advertising sales, promotion and
administration.


Contractual Commitments


The Companys contractual
obligations and commitments are detailed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2006, the Companys contractual
obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2005.


Related Party
Transactions


The Companys Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer is the founder and President of The National Law Enforcement and
Firefighters Childrens Foundation (the Foundation). The Foundation is a
not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping the children of law enforcement and
firefighting personnel and working with law enforcement and firefighting organizations to
provide all children with valuable social and life skill programs. During the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company contributed approximately $35 and $30,
respectively, to the Foundation.

Brian Lacey has been Executive
Vice President of International for 4Kids since July 2003. Prior to joining 4Kids, Mr.
Lacey was the President and founder of Lacey Entertainment, a New York-based worldwide
television marketing, production and distribution company (Lacey). Until July
2003 (when the agreement was terminated), Lacey provided consulting services to the
Company under a fee-based agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Lacey a
percentage of all programming sales placed by Lacey in the international marketplace as
the cash payments for such programming sales were received. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, Lacey received no payments with respect to this agreement. As of March 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company has included $258 and $233, respectively, in
accounts payable and accrued expenses on its accompanying consolidated balance sheets for
remaining obligations due to Lacey under the former agreement.

future events or otherwise.


The changing entertainment
preferences of consumers could adversely effect our business.


Our business and operating results depend
upon the appeal of our Properties, product concepts and programming to consumers.
Consumers entertainment preferences, as well as industry trends and demands are
continuously changing and are difficult to predict as they vary over time. In addition, as
entertainment properties often have short life cycles, there can be no assurances that:
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (1) | our current Properties, product concepts or programming will continue to be popular for any significant period of time;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (2) | new  Properties,  product  concepts or  programming  we  represent  or produce  will  achieve and  sustain  popularity  in the
         marketplace;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (3) | a Propertys life cycle will be sufficient to permit us to recover revenues
          in excess of the costs of advance payments, guarantees, development, marketing,
          royalties and other costs relating to such Property; or
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (4) | we will successfully anticipate, identify and react to consumer preferences.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our failure to accomplish any of
these events could result in reduced overall revenues, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the
volatility of consumer preferences could cause our revenues and net income to vary
significantly between comparable periods.


Revenues from our Licensing
segment are largely derived from a small number of Properties and are subject to changing
industry trends.


We have historically derived a
substantial portion of our licensing revenues from a small number of Properties which
usually generate revenues only for a limited period of time. For the three months ended
March 31, 2006, the Company derived approximately 65% of its revenues from two Properties.
In addition, our control over the timing of the licensing royalty payments we receive is
limited and some of these payments are based on quarterly royalty payments reported by our
licensees. Our licensing revenues are also subject to the changing trends in the toy, game
and entertainment industries. Consequently, our licensing revenues may be subject to
dramatic increases and decreases from particular sources over time. A significant decrease
in our licensing revenues could have a significant adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.



21



Revenues from our licensing
segment are directly impacted by third party sales of licensed products based on our
Properties.


As an exclusive merchandising agent,
we grant licenses to third parties to manufacture and sell all types of merchandise based
on the television series, Properties and product concepts we represent. The ability of
these third parties to design, manufacture, and ultimately, market and sell this
merchandise through various channels of retail trade has a direct impact on our revenues.
If these third parties are not successful in obtaining adequate distribution for this
merchandise at retail or if licensed products based on our Properties fail to sell at
retail, the performance of certain Properties could suffer which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Our operating margins could be
adversely impacted by the mix of Properties we represent.


Historically, the majority of the television-based
Properties we represented were existing episodes of foreign programming that we adapted
for the United States and other markets. As our strategic focus shifts toward Properties
where we are joint copyright owners of the newly produced episodes, the investment
required to produce such original animated programming is substantially in excess of the
historical cost of adapting existing animated programming. Following the commercial
release of a Property, its overall market acceptance and resulting revenues will directly
impact our amortization of the costs incurred to develop such Property. To the extent a
Property performs at a level less than our expectations, the ratio of amortization expense
to revenues realized will increase. This increase will adversely impact our operating
margins and results of operations.


We must continually seek new
Properties from which we can derive revenues.


It is difficult to predict whether a
Property will be successful, and if so, for how long. Because of this, we are constantly
seeking new Properties that are already successful or that we believe are likely to become
successful in the future. If we are unable to identify and acquire the rights to
successful new Properties, our revenues, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.


Our business is seasonal and
highly dependent on our performance during the holiday season.


A high percentage of our annual operating
results have historically depended on our performance during the holiday season. Sales of
our licensed toy and game concepts are seasonal and most retail sales of these products
occur during the third and fourth fiscal quarters. Also, as a result of the increased
demand for commercial time by childrens advertisers during the holiday season, a
significant portion of the revenues generated by Summit Media and 4Kids Ad Sales occur
during the fourth fiscal quarter. The financial results of 4Kids TV are also affected by
how successful it is in attracting viewers during the holiday season. As a result of the
seasonal nature of our business, we would be significantly and adversely affected by
unfavorable economic conditions and other unforeseen events during the holiday season,
such as a terrorist attack or a military engagement, that negatively affect the retail
environment or consumer buying patterns. In addition, a failure by us to supply
programming to 4Kids TV during the holiday season could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.


We operate in a highly
competitive marketplace.


     Licensing.    
          Our principal competitors in the Licensing segment are large media companies
          with theatrical distribution and television broadcast distribution (e.g.,
          Disney, Time-Warner, Viacom), toy companies, other licensing companies and
          numerous individuals who act as merchandising agents. There are also many
          independent product development firms with which we compete. Many of these
          companies have substantially greater resources than we do and represent
          properties which have been commercially successful for longer periods than our
          Properties. We believe that it would be relatively easy for a potential
          competitor to enter into this market in light of the relatively small investment
          required to commence operations as a merchandising agent. However, the ultimate
          success of a new entrant in the field would depend on its access to toy and
          other manufacturers, access to distribution of television based properties,
          access to properties to be licensed, retail market acceptance of properties and
          its know-how in the negotiation and subsequent administration of licenses.



22



Advertising Media and
Broadcast. Our Advertising Media and Broadcast segment also operates in a highly
competitive marketplace against companies with substantially greater resources and
distribution networks than we have. Our ability to derive advertising revenue from the
sale of commercial time on 4Kids TV depends, in substantial part, on the popularity of the
television shows that we broadcast on 4Kids TV. We also face significant competition from
other television broadcasters and cable networks, including competition from a successful
television program that we produced (i.e. Pokémon), which is broadcast
on Saturday mornings on a competing network.


Television and Film
Production/Distribution. Our Television and Film Production/Distribution segment
competes with all forms of entertainment directed at children. There are a significant
number of companies that produce and/or broadcast television programming and distribute
theatrical motion pictures and home videos for the childrens audience. We also
compete with these companies to obtain creative talent to write adapt, score, provide
voice-overs and produce the television programs and theatrical motion pictures marketed by
the Company and its subsidiaries.


Our broadcasting costs may
increase or our advertising revenues may decrease due to events beyond our control.


The success of our Advertising Media
and Broadcastsegment is largely dependant on the amount of advertising revenues
generated from sales of network advertising on 4Kids TV. Recently, there has been
increased scrutiny of food advertising directed at children as a result of childhood
obesity concerns. In response to these concerns, several significant food advertisers have
reduced or eliminated advertising of food products directed toward children resulting in a
reduction in the advertising dollars spent in the childrens advertising marketplace.
In addition, international, political and military developments may result in increases in
broadcasting costs or loss of advertising revenue due to, among other things, the
preemption of 4Kids TV programming.


Our future success is
dependent on certain key employees.


The success of our business depends
to a significant extent upon the skills, experience and efforts of a number of senior
management personnel and other key employees. In many instances, we have employment
agreements in place as a method of retaining the services of these key employees. The loss
of the services of any of the senior management personnel and other key employees could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial
condition.


We may not be able to
successfully protect our intellectual property rights.


We rely on a combination of
copyright, trademark, patent and other proprietary rights laws to protect the intellectual
property rights that we own or license. It is possible that third parties may challenge
our rights to such intellectual property. In addition, there is a risk of third parties
infringing upon our or our licensors intellectual property rights and producing
counterfeit products. These events may result in lost revenue as well as litigation, which
may be expensive and time-consuming even if a favorable outcome is obtained. There can be
no assurance that there are adequate remedies for any infringement. Any such failure to
successfully protect our intellectual property rights may have a material adverse effect
on our competitive position.


We may be negatively affected by
adverse general economic and other conditions.


Conditions in the domestic and global
economies are extremely unpredictable and our business has been and in the future may be,
impacted by changes in such conditions. Softening global economies, stock market
uncertainty and wavering consumer confidence caused by the threat or occurrence of
terrorist attacks, war or other factors generally affecting economic conditions may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


We must be able to respond to
rapidly changing technology occurring within our industry.


Our success will depend, in part, on
our ability to anticipate and adapt to numerous changes in our industry resulting from
technological developments such as the internet, broadband distribution of entertainment
content and the adoption of digital television standards. These new distribution
technologies may diminish the size of the audience watching broadcast television and
require us to fundamentally change the way we market and distribute our Properties. For
example, digital technology is likely to accelerate the convergence of broadcast,
telecommunications, internet and other media and could result in material changes in the
regulations, intellectual property usage and technical platforms on which our business
relies. These changes could significantly decrease our revenues or require us to incur
significant capital expenditures.


23



Potential labor disputes may lead
to increased costs or disrupt the operation of our business.


The success of our business is
dependant on our employees who are involved with our domestic and international
operations. Any labor dispute may adversely affect one or more of our business segments
through increased costs of operating such segment or disruption of the operations of such
segment which could adversely effect our results of operations.


Readers are cautioned that other
factors discussed in this report, although not listed here, also could materially affect
our future earnings.


Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Foreign Currency
Exchange Rate Fluctuations


From time to time, the Company may be
exposed to the risk of future currency exchange rate fluctuations, which is accounted for
as an adjustment to stockholders equity and changes in the exchange rates between
various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may, as a result, have an impact on the
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders equity
reported by the Company, and such effect may be material in any individual reporting
period. The Company is currently not a party to any market risk sensitive instruments, or
any derivative contracts or other arrangements that may reduce such market risk.


Item 4. Controls and
Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures


We maintain a system of disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e),which is designed to
provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed in our
reports filed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely
manner. At the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of the date of such evaluation, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in timely alerting them to information relating to us that is
required to be included in our reports filed under the Exchange Act.


Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting


During the first quarter of 2006,
there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in
other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
