lower-priced, toys and accessories and include:

In addition to developing our proprietary brands and marks, we
license brands such as WWETM,
Nickelodeon®, Rugrats®, Dora the
Explorer®, Blues Clues®, SpongeBob
SquarePants®, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the
Pooh, Kim Possible, Finding Nemo, Hello

use these high-profile marks at a lower cost than we would incur
if we purchased these marks or developed comparable marks on our
own. By licensing marks, we have access to a far greater range
of marks than would be available for purchase. We also license

Funnoodleand kites branded under the name Go Fly a
Kite® further diversified our portfolio with products
popular in the spring and summer seasons.

Through the assets acquired from Trendmasters®, Inc.
(Trendmasters) acquisition, we added the The
Storm brand of water guns, gliders and junior sports toys,
seasonal products for Halloween, Christmas and Easter, and
vehicles, action figures, dolls and playsets under multiple
brands.

In May 2003, we acquired from P&M Products USA, Inc. and an
affiliated United Kingdom company, P&M Products Limited,
(collectively P&M) the Blopen,
BlitzerTM, Vivid Velvet® and
SmArty Paints® line of products.

Most of our current products are relatively simple and
inexpensive toys. In 2003, approximately 70% of our revenue came
from products priced at ten dollars or less at retail. We
believe that these products have enduring appeal and are less
subject to general economic conditions, toy product fads and
trends, and changes in retail distribution channels. As of
December 31, 2003, we had over 3,800 products in
approximately 19 product categories. In addition, the simplicity
of these products enables us to choose among a wider range of
manufacturers and affords us greater flexibility in product
design, pricing and marketing. Our product development process
typically takes from three to nine months from concept to
production and shipment to our customers. We believe that many
licensors and retailers recognize and reward our ability to
bring product to market faster and more efficiently than many of
our competitors.

We sell our products through our in-house sales staff and
independent sales representatives to toy and mass-market retail
chain stores, department stores, office supply stores, drug and
grocery store chains, club stores, toy specialty stores and
wholesalers. The Road Champs, Flying Colors and
Pentech products also are sold to smaller hobby shops,
specialty retailers and corporate accounts, among others. Our
five largest customers are Target, Kmart, Toys R Us,
Wal-Mart, and Kay Bee Toys, which collectively accounted for
approximately 57.7% of our net sales in 2003. We have over 7,000
other customers, none of which accounted for more than 2.0% of
our net sales in 2003.

Our Growth Strategy

The execution of our growth strategy has resulted in increased
revenues and earnings. In 2003, we generated net sales and
EBITDA of $315.8 million and $35.0 million,
respectively. Key elements of our growth strategy include:

 Expand Core Products. We manage our
existing and new brands through strong product development
initiatives, including introducing new products, modifying
existing products and extending existing product lines. Our
product designers strive to develop new products or product
lines to offer added technological, aesthetic and functional
improvements to our product lines. In 2001, we expanded the use
of real-scan technology in our action toys, and in 2002 we
incorporated articulated joints and a flexible rubberized
coating to enhance the life-like and feel of these action toys.
These innovations produce higher quality and better likenesses
of the representative characters.

 Enter New Product Categories. We will
continue to use our extensive experience in the toy and other
industries to evaluate products and licenses in new product
categories and to develop additional product lines. We have
entered the toy candy category through our internal creation of
Tongue Tape, commenced marketing of licensed classic
video games for simple plug-in use with television sets and
expanded into slumber bags through the licensing of this
category from our current licensors, such as Nickelodeon.

 Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We
intend to supplement our internal growth rate with selected
strategic acquisitions. Since our inception in 1995, we have
successfully completed and integrated eleven acquisitions of
companies and trademarks. These include our acquisitions of
Justin Products, Road Champs, Remco, Child Guidance, Berk,
Flying Colors Toys, Pentech, Kidz Biz, Toymax® and
Trendmasters®. Most recently, in May 2003, we acquired
ColorWorkshopand Blopens, among others, from
P&M which we plan on incorporating into our Flying
Colors and Pentech lines. We will continue focusing
our acquisition strategy on businesses or brands that have
compatible product lines and offer valuable trademarks or
brands. In December 2002, we signed a three-year master toy
license for DragonBall®, DragonBall Z® and
DragonBall GT®. We will develop, manufacture and
distribute action figures and action figure accessories based on
these top rated animated series.

 Acquire Additional Character and Product
Licenses. We have acquired the rights to use many
familiar corporate, trade and brand names and logos from third
parties that we use with our primary trademarks and brands.
Currently, we have license agreements with the WWE, Nickelodeon,
Disney, and Warner Bros.®, as well as with the licensors of
the many popular licensed childrens characters previously
mentioned, among others. We intend to continue to pursue new
licenses from these entertainment and media companies and other
licensors. We also intend to continue to purchase additional
inventions and product concepts through our existing network of
product developers.

 Expand International Sales. We believe
that foreign markets, especially Europe, Australia, Canada,
Latin America and Asia, offer us significant growth
opportunities. In 2003, our sales generated outside the United
States were approximately $44.7 million, or 14.2% of total
net sales. We intend to continue to expand our international
sales by capitalizing on our experience and our relationships
with foreign distributors and retailers. Our recent expansion
efforts included entering into a distribution agreement with
Funtastic Ltd., an Australia based toy distributor. In addition,
in December 2001, we acquired Kidz Biz for its distribution
channels in the United Kingdom and surrounding territories. We
expect both initiatives to continue to contribute to our
international growth in 2004.

 Capitalize On Our Operating
Efficiencies. We believe that our current infrastructure
and low-overhead operating model can accommodate significant
growth without a proportionate increase in our operating and
administrative expenses, thereby increasing our operating
margins.

Industry Overview

According to the TIA, the leading toy industry trade group, the
United States is the worlds largest toy market, followed
by Japan and Western Europe. Total retail sales of toys,
excluding video games, in the United States, were approximately
$20.3 billion in 2002. Sales by domestic toy manufacturers
to foreign customers exceeded $6.0 billion in 2002. We
believe the two largest United States toy companies, Mattel and
Hasbro, collectively hold a dominant share of the domestic
non-video toy market. In addition, hundreds of smaller companies
compete in the design and development of new toys, the
procurement of character and product licenses, and the
improvement

##### Table of Contents





Over the past few years, the toy industry has experienced
substantial consolidation among both toy companies and toy
retailers. We believe that the ongoing consolidation of toy
companies provides us with increased growth opportunities due to
retailers desire to not be entirely dependent on a few
dominant toy companies. Retailer concentration also enables us
to ship products, manage account relationships and track retail
sales more effectively and efficiently.

Products

We focus our business on acquiring or licensing well-recognized
trademarks or brand names, and we seek to acquire evergreen
brands which are less subject to market fads or trends. Some of
our license agreements for products and concepts call for
royalties ranging from 1% to 18% of net sales, and some may
require minimum guarantees and advances. Our principal products
include:

Action Figures and Accessories

We have an extensive toy license with the WWE pursuant to which
we have the exclusive worldwide right, until December 31,
2009, to develop and market a full line of toy products based on
the popular WWE professional wrestlers. These wrestlers
perform throughout the year at live events that attract large
crowds, many of which are broadcast on free and cable
television, including pay-per-view specials. We launched this
product line in 1996 with various series of 6 inch
articulated action figures that have movable body parts and
feature real-life action sounds from our patented bone-crunching
mechanism that allows the figures bones to
crack when they are bent. We continually expand and enhance this
product line by using technology in the development and in the
products themselves. The 6 inch figures currently make up a
substantial portion of our overall WWE line, which has
since grown to include many other new products including
playsets using interactive technology. Our strategy has been to
release new figures and accessories frequently to keep the line
fresh and to retain the interest of the consumers.

In December 2002, we signed a three-year master toy license for
Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball
GT. In 2003, we began to develop, manufacture and distribute
action figures and action figure accessories based on these
top-rated animated series.

Flying Colors/ Pentech Activity Sets, Compounds, Playsets,
Writing Instruments and Lunch Boxes

Through our acquisition of Flying Colors Toys we entered into
the toy activity category with compounds and plastic molded
activity cases containing a broad range of activities, such as
make and paint your own characters, jewelry making, art studios,
posters, puzzles and other projects. The activity cases, with
molded and painted likenesses of popular characters, such as
Nickelodeons Blues Clues and SpongeBob
SquarePants, and Hello Kitty, have immediate visual
appeal. Using a related production technology, our lunch boxes
complement this line with similarly-styled molded and painted
likenesses featuring these and other popular characters. Our
product lines also include stationery, back-to-school pens,
pencils, markers, notebooks and P&M craft products such as
Blopens® and ColorWorkshop. In 2002, we
entered the toy candy category and introduced our Tongue
Tape products in six flavors in a plastic container and have
added a necklace to carry a Tongue Tape dispenser, as
well as various licenses including Hello Kitty and
NASCAR.

Our compounds represent another significant area of emphasis for
Flying Colors. Launched under the Blues Clues
license, this line has expanded from play clay in a bucket to an
entire Blues Clues playset featuring book molds,
extrusion and other devices. We are continuing to expand the

Nickelodeon Goooze® Skweeez TM


Electronics Products

Through our acquisition of Toymax we entered into the electronic
products category with our plug and play TV Games and Laser
Challenge product line. Our Laser Challenge product
line includes laser games and NRG paintballTM. Our
current TV Games include licenses from Activision, Atari, Namco
and Nickelodeon, and feature such games as Centipede® and
Pac-Man®.

In 2004, we expect to release at least eight new TV Games
including Ms. Pac-Man®, Spider-Man®, Disney and
several licensed and non-licensed preschool titles.

Seasonal Products

Through our acquisitions of Toymax and Trendmasters we have
entered into a wide range of seasonal toys and leisure products.
Our Go Fly A Kite product line includes youth and adult
kites and a wide array of decorative flags, windstocks, and
windwheels. Our Funnoodle pool toys include the basic
funnoodle, pool floats and a variety of other pool toys. Our
Storm product line includes water guns, gliders and sport
balls. In addition, we added a holiday product line for Easter,
Halloween and Christmas.

Junior Sports Products

Our junior sports products include Disney licensed products,
Gaksplat andStorm. Our Disney sports include such
activities as basketball, bowling and golf. Our Gaksplat
and Storm junior sports include a variety of mini sport
balls and activity products.

Through licenses, we produce replicas of well-known vehicles
including those from Ford®, Chevrolet®
and Porsche®. Additionally, through our
NASCAR license, we produce radio-controlled vehicles in a
variety of scales. We believe that these licenses, increase the
perceived value of the products and enhance their marketability.

Our line of pre-school electronic toys features products that
enhance sensory stimulation and learning through play, while
offering value to the trade as well as to the consumer. Our

ten. The proprietary product lines include 11 1/2 inch
fashion dolls customized with high-fashion designs that
correspond with particular holidays, events or themes, and
fashion dolls based on childrens classic fairy tales and
holidays. We also have an agreement to manufacture for
The Disney Store chain a full line of dolls under a private
label which features Disney Princesses and classic Disney
characters.

Our in-house product developers originate the design and
functionality of most of our fashion dolls. In many cases, they
work with retailers and incorporate their input on doll
characteristics, packaging and other design elements to create
exclusive product lines for them.

World Wrestling Entertainment Video Games

In June 1998, we formed a joint venture with THQ®, a
developer, publisher and distributor of interactive
entertainment software for the leading hardware game platforms
in the home video game market. The joint venture entered into a
license agreement with the WWE under which it acquired the
exclusive worldwide right to publish WWE video games on
all hardware platforms. The term of the license agreement
expires on December 31, 2009, and the joint venture has a
right to renew the license for an additional five years under
various conditions.

The games are designed, developed, manufactured and distributed
by THQ. THQ arranges for the manufacture of the CD-ROMs and game
cartridges used in the various video game platforms under
non-exclusive licenses with Sony, Nintendo, Sega and Microsoft.
No other licenses are required for the manufacture of the
personal computer titles.

Through June 30, 2006, we are entitled to receive a
guaranteed percentage preferred return from the joint venture at
varying rates of net sales of the video games depending on the

The joint venture currently publishes titles for the Sony
PlayStation® and PlayStation 2®,
Nintendo 64® and GameCube® and Microsoft
Xbox® consoles, Nintendo Game Boy Color®
and Game Boy Advance® hand-held platforms and
personal computers. The joint venture launched its first
products in November 1999. It will also publish titles for new
hardware platforms when, and as they are introduced to the
market and have established a sufficient installed base to
support new software. These titles are marketed to our existing
customers as well as to game, electronics and other specialty
stores, such as Electronics Boutique and Best Buy.

Wrestling video games have demonstrated consistent popularity,
with five of our wrestling-themed video games each having sold
in excess of 1 million units in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and
2003, at retail prices ranging from approximately $42 to $60 per
game. We believe that the success of WWEtitles is
dependent on the graphic look and feel of the software, the
depth and variation of game play and the popularity of
WWE. We believe that as a franchise property, WWEtitles have brand recognition and sustainable consumer
appeal, which may allow the joint venture to use titles over an
extended period of time through the release of sequels and
extensions and to re-release such products at different price
points in the future. In 2001, our PlayStation title
SmackDownTM was re-released as a
greatest hit.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

We sell all of our products through our own in-house sales staff
and independent sales representatives to toy and mass-market
retail chain stores, department stores, office supply stores,
drug and grocery store chains, club stores, toy specialty stores
and wholesalers. Our five largest customers are Target, Kmart,
Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, and Kay Bee Toys, which
accounted for approximately 55.7% of our net sales in 2002 and
57.7% of our net sales in 2003. Kay Bee Toys filed for
bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in January 2004.
Except for purchase orders relating to products on order, we do
not have written agreements with our customers. Instead, we
generally sell products to our customers pursuant to letters of
credit or, in some cases, on open account with payment terms
typically varying from 30 to 90 days. From time to time, we
allow our customers credits against future purchases from us in
order to facilitate their retail markdown and sales of
slow-moving inventory. We also sell our products through
e-commerce sites, including Toysrus.com.

We contract the manufacture of most of our products to
unaffiliated manufacturers located in China. We sell the
finished products on a letter of credit basis or on open account
to our customers, who take title to the goods in Hong Kong or
China. These methods allow us to reduce certain operating costs
and working capital requirements. A portion of our sales
originate in the United States, so we hold certain inventory in
our warehouse and fulfillment facilities. To date, a significant
portion of all of our sales has been to domestic customers. We
intend to continue expanding distribution of our products into
foreign territories and, accordingly, we have:

| |  | acquired Kidz Biz, a United Kingdom-based distributor of toys
    and related products,
|
| |  | engaged representatives to oversee sales in certain territories,                       
|
| |  | engaged distributors in certain territories, such as Funtastic
    in Australia, and   
|
| |  | established direct relationships with retailers in certain
    territories.            

Outside of the United States, we currently sell our products
primarily in Europe, Australia, Canada, Latin America and Asia.
Sales of our products abroad accounted for approximately
$53.2 million, or 17.2% of our net sales, in 2002 and
approximately $44.7 million, or 14.2% of our net sales, in
2003. We believe that foreign markets present an attractive
opportunity, and we plan to intensify our marketing efforts and
further expand our distribution channels abroad.

We establish reserves for sales allowances, including
promotional allowances and allowances for anticipated defective
product returns, at the time of shipment. The reserves are
determined as a percentage of net sales based upon either
historical experience or on estimates or programs agreed upon by
our customers.

We obtain, directly, or through our sales representatives,
orders for our products from our customers and arrange for the
manufacture of these products as discussed below. Cancellations
generally are made in writing, and we take appropriate steps to
notify our manufacturers of these cancellations.

We maintain a full-time sales and marketing staff, many of whom
make on-site visits to customers for the purpose of showing
product and soliciting orders for products. We also retain a
number of independent sales representatives to sell and promote
our products, both domestically and internationally. Together
with retailers, we sometimes test the consumer acceptance of new
products in selected markets before committing resources to
large-scale production.

##### Table of Contents



We advertise our products in trade and consumer magazines and
other publications, market our products at international,
national and regional toy, stationery and other specialty trade
shows, conventions and exhibitions and carry on cooperative
advertising programs with toy and mass retailers and other
customers which include the use of in-store displays. We also
produce and broadcast television commercials for our WWE
action figure line, as well as for some of our Flying Colorsand Electronics products. We may also advertise some of our
other products on television, if we expect that the resulting
increase in our net sales will justify the relatively high cost
of television advertising.

Product Development

Each of our product lines has an in-house manager responsible
for product development. The in-house manager identifies and
evaluates inventor products and concepts and other opportunities
to enhance or expand existing product lines or to enter new
product categories. In addition, we create proprietary products,
the principal source of products for our fashion doll line, and
products to more fully exploit our concept and character
licenses. Although we do have the capability to create and
develop products from inception to production, we generally use
third-parties to provide a substantial portion of the sculpting,
sample making, illustration and package design required for our
products in order to accommodate our increasing product
innovations and introductions. Typically, the development
process takes from three to nine months from concept to
production and shipment to our customers.

We employ a staff of designers for all of our product lines. We
occasionally acquire our other product concepts from
unaffiliated third parties. If we accept and develop a third
partys concept for new toys, we generally pay a royalty on
the toys developed from this concept that are sold, and may, on
an individual basis, guarantee a minimum royalty. Royalties
payable to inventors and developers generally range from 1% to
8% of the wholesale sales price for each unit of a product sold
by us. We believe that utilizing experienced third-party
inventors gives us access to a wide range of development talent.
We currently work with numerous toy inventors and designers for
the development of new products and the enhancement of existing
products. We believe that toy inventors and designers have come
to appreciate our practice of acting quickly and decisively to
acquire and market licensed products. In addition, we believe
that all of these factors, as well as our recent success in
developing and marketing products, make us more attractive to
toy inventors and developers than some of our competitors.

Safety testing of our products is done at the
manufacturers facilities by an engineer employed by us or
by independent third-party contractors engaged by us. Safety
testing is designed to meet regulations imposed by federal and
state governmental authorities. We also monitor quality
assurance procedures for our products for safety purposes. In
addition, independent laboratories engaged by some of our larger
customers test certain of our products.

Manufacturing and Supplies

Most of our products are currently produced by overseas
third-party manufacturers, which we choose on the basis of
quality, reliability and price. Consistent with industry
practice, the use of third-party manufacturers enables us to
avoid incurring fixed manufacturing costs, while maximizing
flexibility, capacity and production technology. All of the
manufacturing services performed overseas for us are paid for on
open account with the manufacturers. To date, we have not
experienced any material delays in the delivery of our products;
however, delivery schedules are subject to various factors
beyond our control, and any delays in the future could adversely
affect our sales. Currently, we have ongoing relationships with
more than 20 different manufacturers. We

##### Table of Contents





Although we do not conduct the day-to-day manufacturing of our
products, we participate in the design of the product prototype
and production tools, dies and molds for our products and we
seek to ensure quality control by actively reviewing the
production process and testing the products produced by our
manufacturers. We employ quality control inspectors who rotate
among our manufacturers factories to monitor the
production of substantially all of our products.

The principal raw materials used in the production and sale of
our toy products are plastics, zinc alloy, plush, printed
fabrics, paper products and electronic components, all of which
are currently available at reasonable prices from a variety of
sources. Although we do not manufacture our products, we own the
tools, dies and molds used in the manufacturing process, and
these are transferable among manufacturers if we choose to
employ alternative manufacturers. Tools, dies and molds
represent substantially all of our property and equipment and
amounted to $9.6 million in 2002 and $7.1 million in
2003. Substantially all of these assets are located in China.

Trademarks and Copyrights

Most of our products are produced and sold under trademarks
owned by or licensed to us. We typically register our
properties, and seek protection under the trademark, copyright
and patent laws of the United States and other countries where
our products are produced or sold. These intellectual property
rights can be significant assets. Accordingly, while we believe
we are sufficiently protected, the loss of some of these rights
could have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Competition

Competition in the toy industry is intense. Globally, certain of
our competitors have greater financial resources, larger sales
and marketing and product development departments, stronger name
recognition, longer operating histories and benefit from greater
economies of scale. These factors, among others, may enable our
competitors to market their products at lower prices or on terms
more advantageous to customers than those we could offer for our
competitive products. Competition often extends to the
procurement of entertainment and product licenses, as well as to
the marketing and distribution of products and the obtaining of
adequate shelf space. Competition may result in price
reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any
of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. In each of our
product lines we compete against one or both of the toy
industrys two dominant companies, Mattel and Hasbro. In
addition, we compete, in our Flying Colors and Pentechproduct categories, with Rose Art Industries, Hasbro
(Play-doh) and Binney & Smith (Crayola), and, in our toy
vehicle lines, with Racing Champions. We also compete with
numerous smaller domestic and foreign toy manufacturers,
importers and marketers in each of our product categories. Our
joint ventures principal competitors in the video game
market are Electronic Arts, Activision and Acclaim Entertainment.

Seasonality and Backlog

In 2003, approximately 55.3% of our net sales were made in the
third and fourth quarters. Generally, the first quarter is the
period of lowest shipments and sales in our business and the toy
industry generally and therefore the least profitable due to
various fixed costs. Seasonality factors may cause our operating
results to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

We ship products in accordance with delivery schedules specified
by our customers, which usually request delivery of their
products within three to six months of the date of their orders.
Because customer orders may be canceled at any time without
penalty, our backlog may not accurately indicate sales for any
future period.

Government and Industry Regulation

Our products are subject to the provisions of the Consumer
Product Safety Act (CPSA), the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act (FHSA), the Flammable Fabrics Act
(FFA) and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. The CPSA and the FHSA enable the Consumer Products
Safety Commission (CPSC) to exclude from the
market consumer products that fail to comply with applicable
product safety regulations or otherwise create a substantial
risk of injury, and articles that contain excessive amounts of a
banned hazardous substance. The FFA enables the CPSC to regulate
and enforce flammability standards for fabrics used in consumer
products. The CPSC may also require the repurchase by the
manufacturer of articles. Similar laws exist in some states and
cities and in various international markets. We maintain a
quality control program designed to ensure compliance with all
applicable laws.

Employees

As of March 12, 2004, we employed 316 persons, all of
whom are full-time employees, including four executive officers.
We employed 208 in the United States, 25 in the United Kingdom,
58 in Hong Kong and 25 in China. We believe that we have
good relationships with our employees. None of our employees is
represented by a union.

Environmental Issues

We are subject to legal and financial obligations under
environmental, health and safety laws in the United States and
in other jurisdictions where we operate. We are not currently
aware of any material environmental liabilities associated with
any of our operations.

Available Information

We make available free of charge on or through our Internet
website, www.jakkspacific.com, our annual report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on
Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports filed or
furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably
practicable after we electronically file such material with, or
furnish it to, the SEC.

|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
    Condition and Results of Operations

The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of
various factors. You should read this section in conjunction
with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes
(included in Item 8).

Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and
supplementary information were prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Significant accounting policies are discussed in
Footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
Item 8. Inherent in the application of many of these
accounting policies is the need for management to make estimates
and judgments in the determination of certain revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities. As such, materially different
financial results can occur as circumstances change and
additional information becomes known. The policies with the
greatest potential effect on our results of operation and
financial position include:

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment
of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the
aging of the accounts receivable. If there were a deterioration
of a major customers creditworthiness, or actual defaults
were higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the
recoverability of amounts due to us could be overstated, which
could have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our
revenue is a key component of our results of operations. In
addition, our revenue recognition determines the timing of
certain expenses, such as commissions and royalties. We follow
very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenues;
however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue
policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any
shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause
our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to
quarter.

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider
important which could trigger an impairment review include the
following:



| |   |                                                                                                                      
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | significant underperformance relative to expected historical or
    projected future operating results;              
|
| |  | significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired
    assets or the strategy for our overall business; and
|
| |  | significant negative industry or economic trends.                                                                    

When we determine that the carrying value of long-lived assets
and goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of
one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure
any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method
using a discount rate determined by our management to be
commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business
model. Net long-lived assets, including goodwill, amounted to
$241.5 million as of December 31, 2003.

Recent Developments

On May 31, 2003, we purchased certain product lines,
including ColorWorkshopand Blopens, assets and
assumed certain liabilities of P&M Products USA, Inc.
and an affiliated United Kingdom company, P&M Products
Limited (collectively P&M). The total purchase
price of approximately $22.0 million consisted of all cash
and the assumption of certain liabilities and resulted in
goodwill of $16.8 million. Our results of operations have
included P&M from the date of acquisition.

Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

Net Sales. Net sales were $315.8 million in 2003
compared to $310.0 million in 2002, representing an
increase of 1.9%. The contribution to net sales by our seasonal
products, including Trendmasters, Go Fly a Kite, Funnoodleand sports toys, and new product introductions, including
Dragon Balland NASCARaction toys, TV games and
ColorWorkshopcraft products, were offset by a decrease
in sales in our traditional products, and international sales,
which included a reduction in sales of our karaoke machines and
Equalizer radio control vehicle in 2003, both higher priced
items.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $3.9 million,
or 3.0%, to $126.6 million, or 40.1% of net sales, in 2003
from $130.6 million, or 42.1% of net sales, in 2002. The
overall decrease in gross profit was attributable to a decrease
in gross profit margin. The decrease in gross profit margin of
2.0% of net sales was due to higher sales of seasonal products
with lower margins and an increase in royalty expense as a
percentage of net sales due to changes in the product mix
resulting from the sale of more products with higher royalty
rates, though offset in part by a decrease in amortization
expense of molds and tools used in the manufacture of our
products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $105.8 million in
2003 and $91.8 million in 2002, constituting 33.5% and
29.6% of net sales, respectively. The overall increase of
$14.0 million in such costs was primarily due to a charge

Acquisition Shut-down and Recall Costs. Acquisition
shut-down costs in 2002 relate to shut-down costs, including
lease termination, fixed asset abandonment and other costs, of
certain operations of Toymax and Kidz Biz. There were no such
costs in 2003. Operations impacted by these shut-downs were
sales, design, distribution, and administration. The
integrations of Toymax and Kidz Biz were completed in 2002. In
2003, we accrued a net amount of $2.0 million for the
recall of one of our products, compared to having accrued
$2.2 million in 2002 for the recall of the same product.

The remaining component of the acquisition shut-down and recall
costs is as follows (in thousands):

Profit from Joint Venture. Profit from joint venture
decreased by $0.7 million in 2003 due to the joint venture
having lower unit sales at lower wholesale prices of its two
vehicle combat games of the five games released in 2003 compared
to releasing all new titles with higher unit sales at higher
wholesale prices in addition to having higher sales of carryover
titles in 2002. New releases typically generate higher unit
sales resulting in higher overall sales as compared to carryover
titles. Profit from the joint venture contributed significantly
to our pre-tax profit, representing 19.5% of pre-tax income in
2002 and 22.2% in 2003. We expect to continue to receive a
preferred return over the remaining term of the license
agreement ending December 31, 2009, although we cannot
predict with certainty what levels of return will be achieved
and, in any case, we anticipate substantial fluctuations in the
amount of the preferred return distributed to us from year to
year.

Interest Net. Interest income increased due to higher
average cash balances during 2003 than in 2002, but was offset
by interest expense of $2.5 million related to the
convertible notes issued in June 2003.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes
included Federal, state and foreign income taxes in 2002 and
2003, at an effective tax rate of 22.0% and 17% in 2002 and
2003, respectively, benefiting from a flat 16.5% and 17.0%, Hong
Kong Corporation Tax on our income arising in, or derived from,
Hong Kong for 2002 and 2003, respectively. For 2003, the
effective rate decreased as a result of a higher proportionate
share of income arising in Hong Kong as opposed to income
arising in the higher statutory jurisdictions. As of
December 31, 2003, we had deferred tax assets of
approximately $4.0 million for which no allowance has been
provided since, in the opinion of management, realization of the
future benefit is probable. In making this determination,
management believes it considered all available evidence, both
positive and negative, as well as the weight and importance
given to such evidence.

Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

Net Sales.Net sales increased $25.7 million, or
9.0%, to $310.0 million in 2002 from $284.3 million in
2001. The growth in net sales was due primarily to the addition
of the Toymax products and continuing growth in sales of our
Flying Colors and Doll products which was offset in part
by a decrease in sales of our Wheels division, consisting
primarily of our Road Champs die-cast toy and collectible
vehicles with its extreme sports products.

Gross Profit.Gross profit increased $10.5 million,
or 8.7%, to $130.6 million in 2002, or 42.1% of net sales,
from $120.1 million, or 42.2% of net sales, in 2001. The
overall increase in gross profit was attributable to the
increase in net sales. Gross profit margin was compatible to
last year as lower margins for Toymax products were offset by
the decrease in royalty expense as a percentage of net sales due
to changes in the product mix resulting from the sale of more
products with lower royalty rates or proprietary products with
no royalties.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $91.8 million in 2002
and $89.6 million in 2001, constituting 29.6% and 31.5% of
net sales, respectively. The overall increase of
$2.2 million in such costs was due to costs incurred in
support of our Kidz Biz and Toymax acquisitions and increased
media buys, offset in part by a decrease in Goodwill
amortization expense based on the implementation of
SFAS 142. The decrease as a percentage of net sales is
primarily attributable to the relative fixed nature of certain
expenses with a concurrent increase in net sales. We produced
and aired television commercials in support of several of our
products, including WWE action figures and Flying
Colors products, in 2001 and 2002. From time to time, we may
increase our advertising efforts, if we deem it appropriate for
particular products.

Acquisition Shut-down and Recall Costs.Acquisition
shut-down costs in 2002 relate to shut-down costs, including
lease termination, fixed asset abandonment and other costs, of
certain operations of Toymax and Kidz Biz. Such costs in 2001
relate to shut-down costs of certain operations of Pentech,
acquired in 2000. Operations impacted by these shut-downs were
sales, design, distribution and administration. The integration
of Pentech was completed in 2001 and the integration of Toymax
and Kidz Biz was completed in 2002. In 2002, we accrued
$2.2 million for the recall of one of our products.

The components of the acquisition shut-down and recall costs are

Profit from Joint Venture.Profit from joint venture
increased by $1.3 million in 2002 due to the joint venture
having sales of only carryover titles in 2001 compared to
releasing a new Microsoft Xbox title in addition to
having sales of carryover titles in 2002. New releases typically
generate higher unit sales resulting in higher overall sales as
compared to carryover titles. Profit from the joint venture
contributed significantly to our pre-tax profit, representing
17.6% of pre-tax income in 2001 and 19.5% in 2002.

Interest, Net.Interest income decreased in 2002 compared
to 2001 in spite of higher average cash balances due to lower
interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes.Provision for income taxes
included Federal, state and foreign income taxes in 2001 and
2002, at effective tax rates of 26% in 2001 and 22% in 2002,
benefiting from a flat 16.5% Hong Kong Corporation Tax on our
income arising in, or derived from, Hong Kong. The decrease in
the current year effective rate net results primarily from
certain permanently non-taxable items in addition to a continued
shift in profits to more favorable tax jurisdictions.

Quarterly Fluctuations and Seasonality

We have experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in
operating results and anticipate these fluctuations in the
future. The operating results for any quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results for any future period. Our
first quarter is typically expected to be the least profitable
as a result of lower net sales but substantially similar fixed
operating expenses. This is consistent with the performance of
many companies in the toy industry.

The following table presents our unaudited quarterly results for
the years indicated. The seasonality of our business is
reflected in this quarterly presentation.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded a charge of
$5.0 million to bad debt impacting operating income
relating to the bankruptcy filing of one of our customers, Kmart.

relating to the restructuring of Toymax and Kidz Biz.

During the second quarter of 2002, we recorded a charge which
impacted operating income by approximately $1.5 million
relating to the recall of one of our products.

During the fourth quarter of 2002, we reversed $2.1 million
of the restructuring charge recorded in the first quarter of
2002 and recorded an additional charge of approximately $0.7
million relating to the recall of one of our products, the net
of which favorably impacted operating income by approximately
$1.4 million. In addition, our effective tax rate for the year
2002 was reduced from 26% to 22%.

During the second quarter of 2003, we recorded a charge which
impacted operating income by approximately $2.7 million
relating to the recall of one of our products.

Recent Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations (SFAS 143). The objective of
SFAS 143 is to establish an accounting standard for the
recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation on
certain long-lived assets. The retirement obligation must be one
that results from the acquisition, construction or normal
operation of a long-lived asset. SFAS 143 requires the
legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible
long-lived asset to be recognized at fair value as a liability
when incurred, and the cost to be capitalized by increasing the
carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. SFAS 143
was adopted effective January 1, 2003 and the adoption of
this statement had no material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 145, Rescission of Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13,
and Technical Correction (SFAS 145).
SFAS 145 eliminates extraordinary accounting treatment for
reporting gains or losses on debt extinguishments, and amends
other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various
technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their
applicability under changed conditions. SFAS 145 was
adopted effective January 1, 2003 and the adoption of this
statement had no material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities
(SFAS 146), which changes the accounting for
costs such as lease termination costs and certain employee
severance costs that are associated with a restructuring,
discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal
activity initiated after December 31, 2002. The standard
requires companies to recognize the fair value of costs
associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or
disposal plan. The adoption of SFAS 146 had no material
effect on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation
No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others (Interpretation 45),
which addresses the accounting for and disclosure of guarantees.
Interpretation 45 requires a guarantor to recognize a liability
for the fair value of a guarantee at inception. The recognition
of the liability is required even if it is not probable that
payments will be required under the guarantee. The disclosure
requirements are effective for interim and annual financial
statements ending after December 15, 2002. The initial
recognition and measurement provisions are effective for all
guarantees within the scope of Interpretation 45 issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The application of
Interpretation 45 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes
standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain

In January 2003 and as revised in December 2003, FASB
issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities (Interpretation 46)
and FASB Interpretation No. 46R. Interpretation 46 and 46R
require companies with a variable interest in a variable
interest entity to apply this guidance as of the beginning of
the first reporting period after December 15, 2003. The
application of the guidance could result in the consolidation of
a variable interest entity. The Company anticipates that the
adoption of Interpretation 46 and 46R will not have a material
effect on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2003, we had working capital of
$232.6 million, as compared to $129.2 million as of
December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable
to the receipt of net proceeds from the issuance of our
convertible notes payable and from operating activities offset
in part by disbursements relating to the acquisition of certain
assets of P&M.

Operating activities provided net cash of $7.2 million in
the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to
$66.2 million, including cash provided from the sale of
marketable securities of $37.1 million, in 2002. Net cash
was provided primarily by net income and non-cash charges, such
as the grant of restricted stock and depreciation and
amortization, as well as increases in accounts payable and
deferred income taxes, which were offset in part by an increase
in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other
and decreases in accrued expenses, income taxes payable, and
reserve for sales returns and allowances. As of
December 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$118.2 million and marketable securities of
$19.3 million.

Our investing activities used cash of $47.5 million in the
year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to
$87.8 million in 2002, consisting primarily of the purchase
of office furniture and equipment and molds and tooling used in
the manufacture of our products, the purchase of other assets,
the goodwill acquired in the acquisition of P&M and the
purchase of marketable securities, partially offset by the
repayment of notes receivable from officers. In 2002, our
investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of
molds and tooling used in the manufacture of our products, the
goodwill acquired in the acquisitions of Toymax and
Trendmasters, plus the $4.5 million in goodwill relating to
the final earn-out for Flying Colors, partially offset by the
repayment of notes receivable from officers. As part of our
strategy to develop and market new products, we have entered
into various character and product licenses with royalties
ranging from 1% to 18% payable on net sales of such products. As
of December 31, 2003, these agreements required future
aggregate minimum guarantees of $21.9 million, exclusive of
$4.8 million in advances already paid.

Our financing activities provided net cash of $90.0 million
in the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to
$64.9 million in 2002. In 2003, cash was primarily provided
from the sale of our convertible senior notes and from the
exercise of stock options, partially offset by the repurchase of
our common stock and the repayment of long-term debt. In 2002,
cash was primarily provided from the sale of our common stock
and from the exercise of stock options and warrants, partially
offset by the repayment of debt.

In December 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Kidz Biz Limited, a United Kingdom company, and an
affiliated Hong Kong company, Kidz Biz Far East Limited, for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.4 million.
Total consideration was paid on the closing of the transaction
in cash in the amount of $6.4 million and the issuance of
308,992 shares of our common stock at a value of
$6.0 million. In addition, we agreed to pay an earn-out for
each of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, based on the year over year
increase in Kidz Biz sales, payable by delivery of up to 25,749
shares of our common stock per year. In 2002 and 2003, no
earn-outs were earned.

In October 2001, we and all of our domestic subsidiaries jointly
and severally secured a syndicated line of credit totaling
$50.0 million with a consortium of banks led by Bank of
America, N.A. (Line of Credit). On June 3,
2003, we and the banks amended the loan agreements governing the
Line of Credit (the Loan Agreements), pursuant to
which amendment (i) the banks suspended certain of our
covenants under the Loan Agreements, including those that
prohibited us from consummating the Convertible Senior Notes
offering (note 8) without the banks consent, and
(ii) the banks obligations to extend credit under the
Line of Credit were simultaneously suspended. The amendment
contemplates that we and the banks will attempt to negotiate
revised terms for the Line of Credit, to be reflected in a
further amendment to the Loan Agreements, while waiving the
requirement for obtaining consent for this offering. Neither we
nor the banks, however, have any obligation to enter into such
further amendment to the Loan Agreements. The amendment did not
otherwise effect our right under the Loan Agreements to
voluntarily reduce or terminate the Line of Credit. There have
never been any outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit
since its inception.

In February 2003, our Board of Directors approved a buyback of
up to $20 million of our common stock. As of
December 31, 2003, we repurchased and retired
554,500 shares of our common stock for a total of
approximately $6.1 million.

On May 31, 2003, we purchased certain product lines,
related assets and assumed certain liabilities of P&M. The
total purchase price of approximately $22.0 million
consisted of cash paid in the amount of $20.7 million and
liabilities of $1.3 million and resulted in goodwill of
$16.8 million. Results of operations have included P&M
from the date of acquisition.

Pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement, dated
June 9, 2003, we sold an aggregate of $98 million of
4.625% Convertible Senior Notes due June 15, 2023. The
holders of the notes may convert the notes into shares of our
common stock at any time at an initial conversion price of
$20.00 per share, subject to certain circumstances
described in the notes. We will pay cash interest on the notes
at an annual rate of 4.625% of the principal amount at issuance,
from the issue date to June 15, 2010, payable on
June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on
December 15, 2003. After June 15, 2010, we will not
pay cash interest on the notes. At maturity, on June 15,

We may redeem the notes at our option in whole or in part
beginning on June 15, 2010, at 100% of their accreted
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including
contingent interest and additional amounts), if any, payable in
cash. Holders of the notes may also require us to repurchase all
or part of their notes on June 15, 2010, for cash, at a
repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount per note plus
accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and
additional amounts), if any. Holders of the notes may also
require us to repurchase all or part of their notes on
June 15, 2013 and June 15, 2018 at a repurchase price
of 100% of the accreted principal amount per note plus accrued
and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and
additional amounts), if any. Any repurchases at June 15,
2013 and June 15, 2018 may be paid in cash, in shares of
common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

We believe that our cash flows from operations, cash and cash
equivalents on hand and marketable securities will be sufficient
to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements
and provide us with adequate liquidity to meet our anticipated
operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Although
operating activities are expected to provide cash, to the extent
we grow significantly in the future, our operating and investing
activities may use cash and, consequently, this growth may
require us to obtain additional sources of financing. There can
be no assurance that any necessary additional financing will be
available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Exchange Rates

Sales from our United States and Hong Kong operations are
denominated in U.S. dollars and our manufacturing costs are
denominated in either U.S. or Hong Kong dollars. Domestic sales
from our United Kingdom operations and operating expenses of all
of our operations are denominated in local currency, thereby
creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the
Hong Kong dollar or British Pound/U.S. dollar exchange rate may
positively or negatively affect our gross margins, operating
income and retained earnings. The exchange rate of the Hong Kong
dollar to the U.S. dollar has been fixed by the Hong Kong
government since 1983 at HK$7.80 to US$1.00 and, accordingly,
has not represented a currency exchange risk to the U.S. dollar.
We cannot assure you that the exchange rate between the United
States and Hong Kong currencies will continue to be fixed or
that exchange rate fluctuations between the United States and
Hong Kong and United Kingdom currencies will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.




Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to
adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and
rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of changes in
United States and international borrowing rates and changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we are exposed to
market risk in certain geographic areas that have experienced or
remain vulnerable to an economic downturn, such as China. We
purchase substantially all of our inventory from companies in
China, and, therefore, we are subject to the risk that such
suppliers will be unable to provide inventory at competitive
prices. While we believe that, if such an event were to occur we
would be able to find alternative sources of inventory at
competitive prices, we cannot assure you that we would be able
to do so. These exposures are directly related to our normal
operating and funding activities.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2003, we do not have any outstanding balances
on our Line of Credit. On June 9, 2003, we issued
convertible notes payable of $98.0 million with a fixed
interest rate of 4.625% per annum. Accordingly, we are not
generally subject to any direct risk of loss arising from
changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and in the
United Kingdom. Sales by these operations made on a FOB China or
Hong Kong basis are denominated in U.S. dollars.
However, purchases of inventory and Hong Kong operating
expenses are typically denominated in Hong Kong dollars and
domestic sales and operating expenses made in the United Kingdom
are typically denominated in British Pounds, thereby creating
exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the British
Pound or Hong Kong dollar/ U.S. dollar exchange rates
may positively or negatively affect our gross margins, operating
income and retained earnings. The British Pound gave rise to the
other comprehensive loss in the balance sheet at
December 31, 2003. The exchange rate of the Hong Kong
dollar to the U.S. dollar has been fixed by the
Hong Kong government since 1983 at HK$7.80 to US$1.00 and,
accordingly, has not represented a currency exchange risk to the
U.S. dollar. We do not believe that near-term changes in
these exchange rates, if any, will result in a material effect
on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows, and
therefore, we have chosen not to enter into foreign currency
hedging transactions. We cannot assure you that this approach
will be successful, especially in the event of a significant and
sudden change in the value of the Hong Kong dollar or
British Pound.

Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Stockholders



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
2002 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, other comprehensive income, stockholders
equity and cash flows and the financial statement schedule for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2003. These financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial statement schedule based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and
schedule referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the
results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS


DECEMBER 31, 2003


Note 1Principal industry

JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (the Company) is engaged in the
development, production and marketing of toys and related
products, some of which are based on highly-recognized
entertainment properties and character licenses. The Company
commenced its primary business operations in July 1995 through
the purchase of substantially all of the assets of a Hong Kong
toy company. The Company markets its product lines domestically
and internationally.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware in January 1995.

Note 2Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In consolidation, all
significant inter-company balances and transactions are
eliminated.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid assets, having an
original maturity of less than three months, to be cash
equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits
which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The
Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The
Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual future results
could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers.
Provisions for estimated returns, defective products and other
allowances are made at the time of sale.

Inventory

Inventory, which includes the ex-factory cost of goods and
in-bound freight, is valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market and consists of the following:

approximation of fair value. The fair value of the convertible
senior notes, at December 31, 2003 was approximately
$99.0 million. The fair value of the Companys
convertible senior notes approximates the carrying value based
on quoted trading prices for the notes.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being
depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives as follows:

|                       |  |  |                                        | 
|---------------------- |  |  | -------------------------------------- | 
|Office equipment       |  |  | 5 years                                | 
|Furniture and fixtures |  |  | 5 - 7 years                            | 
|Molds and tooling      |  |  | 2 - 4 years                            | 
|Leasehold improvements |  |  | Shorter of length of lease or 10 years | 

Shipping and handling costs

The consolidated financial statements reflect, for all periods
presented, the adoption of the classification or disclosure
requirements pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs, which was effective in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000. Consistent with EITF 00-10, the Company
has historically classified income from freight charges to
customers in Net sales. The Company classifies
shipping and handling costs in Selling, general and
administrative expenses. Such costs amounted to
approximately $11.9 million in 2001, $8.1 million in
2002 and $5.2 million in 2003.

Advertising

Production costs of commercials and programming are charged to
operations in the year during which the production is first
aired. The costs of other advertising, promotion and marketing
programs are charged to operations in the year incurred.
Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2002 and 2003, was approximately $11.0 million,
$12.7 million and 12.4 million, respectively.

Income taxes

The Company does not file a consolidated return with its foreign
subsidiaries. The Company files Federal and state returns and
its foreign subsidiaries each file Hong Kong returns and United
Kingdom returns, as applicable. Deferred taxes are provided on a
liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized as
deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax
credit

carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced
by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.

Translation of foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Hong Kong dollars
or British Pounds Sterling are translated into United States
dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet
date. Transactions during the period are translated at the rates
ruling at the dates of the transactions.

Profits and losses resulting from the above translation policy
are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and
statements of other comprehensive income.

Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment,
goodwill and intangible assets other than goodwill, are
evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists,
the related assets will be written down to fair value.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, Business Combinations
(SFAS 141) and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS 142).
SFAS 141 is effective for business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 requires that all
business combinations completed after its adoption be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting and establishes
specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets
separately from goodwill. SFAS 142 was effective for the
Company on January 1, 2002 and primarily addresses the
accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to
their acquisition. With the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill
and other intangible assets are no longer amortized and are
tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit
level. As of December 31, 2003, there was no impairment to
the underlying value of goodwill or intangible assets other than
goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair
market value of the assets of acquired companies. In fiscal
2002, the Company began to write off goodwill and certain
intangible assets on an impairment basis where losses in value
are recorded when and as material impairment has occurred in the
underlying assets. Accumulated amortization of goodwill at
December 31, 2002 and 2003 totaled $6.6 million.

The carrying value of goodwill is based on managements
current assessment of recoverability. Management evaluates
recoverability using both objective and subjective factors.
Objective factors include managements best estimates of
projected future earnings and cash flows and analysis of recent
sales and earnings trends. Subjective factors include
competitive analysis and the Companys strategic focus.

Intangible assets other than goodwill consist of product
technology rights and trademarks. Intangible assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis, over five to thirty years,
the estimated economic lives of the related assets. Accumulated
amortization as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 was
$2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Stock Option Plans

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148 Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure
an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123
(SFAS 148). SFAS 148 Statement amends
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS 123), to provide alternative methods of
transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that
Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on
reported net income of an entitys accounting policy
decisions with respect to stock-based employee

compensation. Finally, SFAS 148 amends APB Opinion
No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure
about those effects in interim financial information.

At December 31, 2003, the Company has stock-based employee
compensation plans, which are described more fully in
Note 14. The Company accounts for those plans under the
recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under
those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of
the underlying common stock on the date of grant. However,
certain options had been repriced resulting in compensation
adjustments, which have been reflected in net income. The
following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123, to stock-based employee
compensation.

In 2001, 2002 and 2003 the fair value of each employee option
grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions used:
risk-free rate of interest of 6%, 4% and 4%, respectively;
dividend yield of 0%; with volatility of 91%, 87% and 82%
respectively; and expected lives of five years.

when incurred, and the cost to be capitalized by increasing the
carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. SFAS 143
was adopted effective January 1, 2003 and the adoption of
this statement had no material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 145, Rescission of Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13,
and Technical Correction (SFAS 145).
SFAS 145 eliminates extraordinary accounting treatment for
reporting gains or losses on debt extinguishments, and amends
other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various
technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their
applicability under changed conditions. SFAS 145 was
adopted effective January 1, 2003 and the adoption of this
statement had no material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities
(SFAS 146), which changes the accounting for
costs such as lease termination costs and certain employee
severance costs that are associated with a restructuring,
discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal
activity initiated after December 31, 2002. The standard
requires companies to recognize the fair value of costs
associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or
disposal plan. The adoption of SFAS 146 had no material
effect on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation
No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others
(Interpretation 45), which addresses the
accounting for and disclosure of guarantees.
Interpretation 45 requires a guarantor to recognize a
liability for the fair value of a guarantee at inception. The
recognition of the liability is required even if it is not
probable that payments will be required under the guarantee. The
disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual
financial statements ending after December 15, 2002. The
initial recognition and measurement provisions are effective for
all guarantees within the scope of Interpretation 45 issued
or modified after December 31, 2002. The application of
Interpretation 45 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS 150 were
adopted effective June 9, 2003. The adoption of
SFAS 150 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial position or results of operations.

In January 2003 and as revised in December 2003, FASB issued
FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities (Interpretation 46) and
FASB Interpretation No. 46R. Interpretation 46 and 46R
require companies with a variable interest in a variable
interest entity to apply this guidance as of the beginning of
the first reporting period after December 15,

2003. The application of the guidance could result in the
consolidation of a variable interest entity. The Company
anticipates that the adoption of Interpretation 46 and 46R
will not have a material effect on the Companys financial
position or results of operations.

Note 4  Acquisitions and Joint Venture

The Company owns a fifty percent interest in a joint venture
with a company that develops, publishes and distributes
interactive entertainment software for the leading hardware game
platforms in the home video game market. The joint venture has
entered into a license agreement with an initial license period
expiring December 31, 2009 under which it acquired the
exclusive worldwide right to publish video games on all hardware
platforms. The Companys investment is accounted for using
the cost method due to the financial and operating structure of
the venture and our lack of

control over the joint venture. The Companys basis
consists primarily of organizational costs, license costs and
recoupable advances and is being amortized over the term of the
initial license period. The joint venture agreement provides for
the Company to receive guaranteed preferred returns through
June 30, 2006 at varying rates of the joint ventures
net sales depending on the cumulative unit sales and platform of
each particular game. For periods after June 30, 2006, the
amount of the preferred return will be subject to renegotiation
between the parties. The preferred return is accrued in the
quarter in which the licensed games are sold and the preferred
return is earned. The Companys joint venture partner
retains the financial risk of the joint venture and is
responsible for the day-to-day operations, including
development, sales and distribution, for which they are entitled
to any remaining profits. During 2001, 2002 and 2003, the
Company earned $6.7 million, $8.0 million and
$7.4 million, respectively, in profit from the joint
venture.

In December 2001, the Company acquired all the outstanding
stock of Kidz Biz Ltd., a United Kingdom company, and Kidz Biz
Far East Limited, an affiliated Hong Kong corporation,
(collectively Kidz Biz), for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $12.4 million, which was
paid by the issuance of 308,992 shares of the Companys
common stock at a value of $6.0 million and cash of
$6.4 million. In addition, we agreed to pay an earn-out for
each of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, based on the year over year
increase in Kidz Biz sales, payable by delivery of up to
25,749 shares of our common stock per year. In 2002 and
2003, no earn-outs were earned. Both the United Kingdom and Hong
Kong based companies are distributors of toys and related
products in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Channel Islands.

The Company acquired the following entities to further enhance
its existing product lines and to continue diversification into
other seasonal businesses.

In March 2002, the Company purchased a controlling interest in
Toymax International, Inc. (Toymax) and on
October 25, 2002, the Company completed that acquisition by
acquiring the remaining outstanding common shares in a merger
transaction. The total purchase price of approximately
$62.8 million consisted of 1,166,360 shares of the
Companys common stock, 598,697 options and approximately
$41.0 million in cash. Results of operations have included
Toymax from March 12, 2002; however, for the period from
March 12, 2002 through October 25, 2002, the minority
interests share of Toymaxs earnings were excluded.

In November 2002, the Company purchased certain product lines,
assets and assumed certain specific liabilities from
Trendmasters, Inc. (Trendmasters). The total
purchase price of approximately $19.2 million consisted of
all cash. Results of operations have included Trendmasters from
the date of acquisition.

On May 31, 2003, the Company purchased certain product
lines, assets and assumed certain liabilities of
P&M Products USA, Inc. and an affiliated United Kingdom
company, P&M Products Limited (collectively
P&M). The total purchase price of approximately
$22.0 million consisted of $20.7 million in cash and
$1.3 million in liabilities. Results of operations have
included P&M from the date of acquisition.

Goodwill related to Trendmasters is not expected to be
deductible for tax purposes, however, approximately
$12.7 million of the Toymax goodwill and $13.6 million
of the P&M goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax
purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma information represents the
Companys consolidated results of operations as if the
acquisitions of Toymax, Trendmasters and P&M had occurred on
January 1, 2002 and after giving effect to certain
adjustments including the elimination of certain general and
administrative expenses and other income and expense items not
attributable to on-going operations, interest expense, and
related tax effects. Such pro forma information does not purport
to be indicative of operating results that would have been
reported had the acquisitions of Toymax, Trendmasters and
P&M actually occurred on January 1, 2002 or on future
operating results.

Note 5Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. Cash equivalents consist principally of short-term
money market funds. These instruments are short-term in nature
and bear minimal risk. To date, the Company has not experienced
losses on these instruments.

The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its
customers financial condition, but does not require
collateral to support domestic customer accounts receivables.
Most goods shipped FOB Hong Kong or China are backed by
irrevocable letters of credit.

The current portion of deferred tax assets is included in
prepaid expenses and other.

Income tax expense varies from the U.S. Federal statutory
rate. The following reconciliation shows the significant
differences in the tax at statutory and effective rates:

|                                                              |  |      |       |      |  |      |       |   |  |  |       |

Deferred taxes result from temporary differences between tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in
the consolidated financial statements. The temporary differences
result from costs required to be capitalized for tax purposes by
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and
certain items accrued for financial reporting purposes in the
year incurred but not deductible for tax purposes until paid.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company has federal and state
net operating loss carryforwards of $20.4 million and
$38.9 million, respectively, expiring through 2023. These
carryforwards resulted from the acquisitions of Pentech and
Toymax; the utilization of these losses to offset future income
is limited under IRC§382. The Companys management
concluded that a deferred tax asset valuation allowance was not
necessary.

Note 10Credit Facility

In October 2001, the Company and all of its subsidiaries
jointly and severally secured a syndicated line of credit
totaling $50.0 million with a consortium of banks led by
Bank of America, N.A. (Line of Credit). On
June 3, 2003, the Company and the banks amended the loan
agreements governing the Line of Credit (the Loan
Agreements), pursuant to which amendment (i) the
banks suspended certain of our covenants under the Loan
Agreements, including those that prohibited the Company from
consummating the Convertible Senior Notes offering (note 8)
without the banks consent, and (ii) the banks
obligations to extend credit under the Line of Credit were
simultaneously suspended. The amendment contemplates that the
Company and the banks will attempt to negotiate revised terms
for the Line of Credit, to be reflected in a further amendment
to the Loan Agreements, while waiving the requirement for
obtaining consent for this offering. Neither the Company nor the
banks, however, have any obligation to enter into such further
amendment to the Loan Agreements. The amendment did not
otherwise effect the Companys right under the Loan
Agreements to voluntarily reduce or terminate the Line of
Credit. There have never been any outstanding borrowings under
the Line of Credit since its inception.

Note 11Leases

The Company leases office, warehouse and showroom facilities and
certain equipment under operating leases. Rent expense for the
three years ended December 31, 2003 totaled
$2.5 million, $4.0 million and $5.2 million,
respectively. The following is a schedule of minimum annual
lease payments (in thousands).

The Company has 105,000,000 authorized shares of stock
consisting of 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock
and 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock. During
2003, the Company repurchased and retired 554,500 shares of its
common stock at an aggregate cost of $6.1 million.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Stock

Committee are to select or to recommend to our Board the
selection of outside auditors; to monitor our relationships with
our outside auditors and their interaction with our management
in order to ensure their independence and objectivity; to
review, and to assess the scope and quality of, our outside
auditors services, including the audit of our annual
financial statements; to review our financial management and
accounting procedures; to review our financial statements with
our management and outside auditors; and to review the adequacy
of our system of internal accounting controls.

the Audit Committee and are each independent (as
that term is defined in NASD Rule 4200(a)(14)), and are

statements. Mr. Blatte is the Chairman of the Audit
Committee and possesses the financial expertise required under
Rule 401(h) of Regulation SK of the Act and NASD
Rule 4350(d)(2). He is further independent, as

Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act. We will, in the
future, continue to have (i) an Audit Committee of at least
three members comprised solely of independent directors, each of
whom will be able to read and understand fundamental financial
statements (or will become able to do so within a reasonable
period of time after his or her appointment); and (ii) at
least one member of the Audit Committee that will possess the
financial expertise required under NASD Rule 4350(d)(2).

and the Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of
that charter on an annual basis.

Committee are to make recommendations to the Board regarding
compensation of management employees and to administer plans and
programs relating to employee benefits, incentives, compensation

Employment Agreements

In March 2003 we amended and restated our employment agreements
with each of the Named Officers.

Mr. Friedmans amended and restated employment
agreement, pursuant to which he serves as our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, provides for an annual base salary in 2004 of
$990,000. Mr. Friedmans agreement expires
December 31, 2010. His base salary is subject to annual
increases determined by our Board of Directors, but in an amount
not less than $25,000 per annum. For our fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003, Mr. Friedman received a bonus of
$1,327,140. For each fiscal year between 2004 through 2010,
Mr. Friedmans bonus will depend on our achieving
certain earnings per share growth targets. The earnings per
share growth targets for 2004 have been set, but the earnings
per share growth targets for subsequent fiscal years will be
determined annually by the Compensation Committee of our Board
of Directors. Depending on the levels of earnings per share
growth that we achieve in each fiscal year, Mr. Friedman
will receive an annual bonus from 0% to up to 200% of his base
salary. This bonus will be paid in accordance with the terms and
conditions of our 2002 Stock Award and Incentive Plan. In
addition, in consideration for modifying and replacing the
pre-tax income formula provided in his prior employment
agreement for determining his annual bonus, and for entering
into the amended employment agreement, Mr. Friedman was
granted the right to be issued an aggregate of 1,080,000 shares
of restricted stock. The first tranche of restricted stock,
totaling 240,000 shares, was granted at the time the agreement
became effective, and the second tranche of restricted stock,
totaling 120,000 shares, was granted on January 1, 2004. In
each subsequent year of the employment agreement term,
Mr. Friedman will receive 120,000 shares of restricted
stock. The grant of these shares is in accordance with our 2002
Stock Award and Incentive Plan, and the vesting of each tranche
of restricted stock is subject to our achieving pre-tax income
in excess of $2,000,000 in the fiscal year that the grant is
made. Each tranche of restricted stock granted or to be granted
from January 1, 2004 through January 1, 2008 is
subject to a two-year vesting period, which may be accelerated
to one year if we achieve certain earnings per share growth
targets. Each tranche of restricted stock to be granted
thereafter through January 1, 2010, is subject to a
one-year vesting period. Finally, the agreement provides
Mr. Friedman with the opportunity, commencing at age 67, to
retire and receive a single-life annuity retirement payment
equal to $975,000 a year for a period of 10 years, or in
the event of his death during such retirement period, his estate
will receive a death benefit equal to the difference between
$2,925,000 and any prior retirement benefits previously paid to
him; provided, however, that Mr. Friedman must agree to
serve as Chairman Emeritus of our Board of Directors, if
requested to do so by such Board.

Mr. Bermans amended and restated employment
agreement, pursuant to which he serves as our President and
Chief Operating Officer, provides for an annual base salary in
2004 of $990,000. Mr. Bermans agreement expires
December 31, 2010. His base salary is subject to annual
increases determined by our Board of Directors, but in an amount
not less than $25,000 per annum. For our fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003, Mr. Berman received a bonus of
$1,327,140. For each fiscal year between 2004 through 2010,
Mr. Bermans bonus will depend on our achieving
certain earnings per share growth targets. The earnings per
share growth targets for 2004 have been set, but the earnings
per share growth targets for subsequent fiscal years will be
determined annually by the Compensation Committee of our Board
of Directors. Depending on the levels of earnings per share

Mr. Bennetts amended and restated our employment
agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Bennett serves as our
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, expires
December 31, 2006. Mr. Bennetts annual base
salary in 2004 is $320,000 and is subject to annual increases in
an amount, not less than $20,000, determined by our Board of
Directors. In addition, as consideration for relinquishing the
prior formula for determining his annual bonus, and for entering
into the amended agreement, Mr. Bennett was awarded at the
time his agreement became effective 120,000 shares of
restricted stock, 60,000 of such shares vested on
January 1, 2004 and the remaining 60,000 shares will
vest on January 1, 2005, provided Mr. Bennett is then
employed by us. This grant of restricted stock was in accordance
with our 2002 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Mr. Biancos amended and restated employment agreement,
pursuant to which he serves as our Executive Vice President and
Chief Merchandising Officer, provides for an annual base salary
in 2004 of $725,000. Mr. Biancos agreement expires
December 31, 2007. His base salary is subject to annual
increases determined by our Board of Directors, but in an amount
not less than $25,000 per annum. For our fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003, Mr. Bianco did not receive a bonus.
For each fiscal year between 2004 through 2007,
Mr. Biancos bonus will depend on our achieving
certain earnings per share growth targets. The earnings per
share growth targets for 2004 will be determined annually by the
Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Depending on
the levels of earnings per share growth that we achieve in each
fiscal year, Mr. Bianco will receive an annual bonus of
from 0% to up to 200% of his base salary. This bonus will be
paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of our 2002
Stock Award and Incentive Plan. In addition, in consideration
for modifying and replacing the pre-tax income formula provided
in his prior employment agreement for determining his annual
bonus, and for entering into the amended employment agreement,
Mr. Bianco was granted the right to be issued an aggregate
of 480,000 shares of restricted stock. The first tranche of
restricted stock, totaling 96,000 shares, was granted at the
time the agreement became effective, and the second tranche of
restricted stock, totaling 96,000 shares, was granted on
January 1, 2004. In each subsequent year of the employment
agreement term, Mr. Bianco will receive 96,000 shares of
restricted stock. The grant of these shares is in accordance
with our 2002 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, and the vesting of
each tranche of restricted stock is subject to our achieving
pre-tax income in excess of $2,000,000 in the fiscal year that
the grant is made. Each tranche of restricted stock granted or
to be granted from January 1,

If we terminate Mr. Friedmans,
Mr. Bermans, Mr. Biancos or
Mr. Bennetts employment other than for
cause or if a Named Officer resigns because of our
material breach of the employment agreement or because we cause
a material change in his employment, we are required to make a
lump-sum severance payment in an amount equal to his base salary
and bonus during the balance of the term of the employment
agreement, based on his then applicable annual base salary and
bonus. In the event of the termination of his employment under
certain circumstances after a Change of Control (as
defined in each employment agreement), we are required to make a
one-time payment of an amount equal to 2.99 times of the
base amount of such Named Officer determined in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code.

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of our
employment agreements with the Named Officers. For a complete
description, copies of such agreements are annexed herein in
their entirety as exhibits or are otherwise incorporated herein
by reference.

Compensation of Directors

Directors currently receive an annual cash stipend in the amount
of $10,000 for serving on the Board, and are reimbursed for
reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings. In addition,
our Option Plan provides for each newly elected non-employee
director to receive at the commencement of his term an option to
purchase 37,500 shares of our common stock at their then
current fair market value, and for grants to our non-employee
directors: (i) on January 1 and July 1 of each
year of an option to purchase 7,500 shares of our common
stock at their then current fair market value, and (ii) on
January 1 of each year of 1,000 shares of restricted stock
beginning on January 1, 2004. Options granted to a
non-employee director expire upon the termination of the
directors services for cause, but may be exercised at any
time during a one-year period after such person ceases to serve
as a director for any other reason.

In April 2000, we loaned $1,500,000 to each of Jack Friedman and
Stephen G. Berman. The entire principal amount of each loan was
originally due on April 28, 2003 and, until repaid,
interest thereon is payable semi-annually at the rate of 6.5%
per annum. Mr. Bermans indebtedness to us under his
loan is secured by a deed of trust on certain real property. As
of March 27, 2003, the outstanding principal balances of
Mr. Friedmans and Mr. Bermans loans
including interest accrued thereon were paid in full. Both loans
were made to assist our executive officers in meeting certain
personal financial obligations.
