Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Thousands of Dollars)
(Unaudited)
(1) In the opinion of management and subject to year-end audit, the
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of March 27, 1994 and March 28, 1993, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.
The results of operations for the thirteen week period ended March 27,
1994, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full
year.
(2) The Company has several plans covering certain groups of employees
which may provide benefits to such employees following their period of active
employment but prior to their retirement. These plans include certain
severance plans which provide benefits to employees involuntarily terminated
and certain plans which continue the Company's health and life insurance
contribution for employees who have left the Company's employ under terms of
its long-term disability plan.
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits (SFAS 112) as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. SFAS 112
requires that the cost of certain postemployment benefits be accrued over the
employee service period, which is a change from the Company's prior practice
of recording such benefits when incurred. The effect of initially applying
SFAS 112, net of a deferred tax benefit of $2,513, has been reported as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, negatively impacting
the Company's first quarter 1994 earnings by $4,282. The adoption of SFAS 112
is not expected to have a future significant effect on either the Company's
earnings or its financial condition.
(3) Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding
during each period. Common stock equivalents include stock options and
warrants for the period prior to their exercise. Under the treasury stock
method, the unexercised options and warrants were assumed to be exercised at
the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds
were then used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the
period.
For each of the reported periods the difference between primary and
fully diluted earnings per share was not significant.

NET REVENUES
- ------------
Net revenues for the quarter ended March 27, 1994 were $489,133, compared to
the $487,036 reported in the first quarter of 1993. Internationally, the
Company had a successful quarter, experiencing revenue growth in virtually all
countries. International revenues increased by approximately 15% over those of
the first quarter of 1993 and absent the effect of the strengthened U.S.
dollar increased in excess of 20%. Particularly noteworthy this quarter were
the Netherlands and the U.K., up more than 50% and 30%, respectively, from
first quarter 1993 levels. Domestically, the Company's customers reported
increased consumer purchases of many of its products in comparison to 1993.
The ongoing efforts of the those customers to minimize their inventory levels,
however, adversely affected the volume of replacement orders. Within the
promotional toy group, Kenner had a successful quarter essentially matching
their 1993 revenues, which had increased more than 80% from the prior year. In
the games area, Milton Bradley exceeded its 1993 volume, while Parker
Brothers, also feeling the effect of a comparison against a strong 1993 first
quarter, fell short. The infant and preschool group, while continuing to face
significant competition in its market, was marginally above the comparable
1993 level.
COST OF SALES
- -------------
The gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage of net revenues, improved
slightly to 57.4% from the 1993 level of 57.3%.
EXPENSES
- --------
Royalties, research and development expenses, although increasing in both
dollars and as a percentage of revenues compared to the first quarter of 1993,
approximates the full year 1993 rate. The increase over the comparable period
in 1993 is attributable to both royalties, where the Company has experienced
greater sales, particularly within the international group, of products
carrying relatively high royalty rates, and expanded product development
efforts domestically.
As a percentage of net revenues, advertising expense has decreased to 13.2%
from 13.9% a year ago. This decrease is the composite of an increase
internationally and a decrease domestically. Internationally, the Company's
continuing efforts to establish certain brands is the primary cause of the
increase, while domestically the decrease results primarily from a planned
reduction in certain promotional toy advertising.
Selling, distribution and administrative expenses for the quarter remained
constant at the 1993 level of 22.5% of net revenues.

(Thousands of dollars)
NONOPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE
- -----------------------------
The increase of approximately $1,000 in interest expense during the first
quarter of 1994 is attributable to a combination of factors including an
increase in average borrowing requirements during the quarter and the 1993
early redemption of a portion of the Company's long-term debt.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Income tax expense, as a percentage of pretax earnings, was 38.5% for the
first quarter of 1994, an increase from the 38.0% for the same period in 1993.
This increase was primarily the result of the U.S. federal tax rate which
increased from 34% to 35% during 1993.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
- ----------------------------------------------------
At the beginning of the quarter, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits (SFAS 112). SFAS 112 requires that the cost of certain postemployment
benefits be accrued over the employee service period, which is a change from
the Company's prior practice of recording such benefits when incurred. The
recognition of the Company's obligation relating to prior service, net of a
deferred tax benifit of $2,513, (the cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principles) reduced net earnings by $4,282. Additionally, this
recognition required the recording of a long-term liability approximating
$6,000 and a long-term deferred tax asset approximating $2,000. The adoption
of SFAS 112 is not expected to have a future significant effect on either the
Company's earnings or its financial condition.
OTHER INFORMATION
- -----------------
The business of the Company is characterized by customer order patterns which
vary from year to year largely because of differences in the degree of
consumer acceptance of a product line, product availability, marketing
strategies and inventory levels of retailers and differences in overall
economic conditions. Also, more retailers are using quick response inventory
management practices which results in fewer orders being placed in advance of
shipment and more orders, when placed, for immediate delivery. As a result,
comparisons of unshipped orders on any date in a given year with those at the
same date in a prior year are not necessarily indicative of sales for the
entire year. In addition, it is a general industry practice that orders are
subject to amendment or cancellation by customers prior to shipment. The
Company's unshipped orders were approximately $350,000 at April 24, 1994
compared to $575,000 at April 25, 1993. During the past several years the
Company has experienced a gradual shift in its revenue pattern wherein the
second half of the year has grown in significance to its overall business and
within that half the fourth quarter has become more prominent. The Company
expects that this trend will continue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Several of the major balance sheet categories, including cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventories and
short-term borrowings, fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. This
reflects the seasonality of the Company's business coupled with certain
customer incentives, mainly in the form of extended payment terms. Generally,
accounts receivable, inventories and short-term debt are lower at the end of
December or March than at the end of the other quarters while cash and related
amounts are higher. As a result, management believes that a comparison to the
comparable period in the prior year is generally more meaningful than a
comparison to the prior year-end.
Cash and cash equivalents at $250,262 were approximately $100,000 higher than
the aggregate of it and marketable securities at the same time in 1993. This
increase is reflective of the cash generated during the prior twelve months
and will be used for working capital requirements as the year progresses.
Receivables, at $449,981, were above their comparable 1993 level due to a
combination of factors including the mix of first quarter sales with a greater
percentage being made to customers with extended payment terms. Inventories
increased approximately $34,000, largely due to the lower volume of domestic
sales during the first quarter and the Company's continuing efforts to have
product available for immediate delivery to its customers.
Short-term borrowings at $53,091 were approximately the same as in 1993. While
the Company attempts to keep its borrowings at the lowest level possible,
especially when it has excess cash, the cash available and the borrowing
required may be in different countries and currencies and may make it
impractical to substitute one for the other. Other current liabilities
increased approximately $20,500 from those of a year ago, primarily due to
timing differences on payments.
As part of the traditional marketing strategies of the toy industry, many
sales made early in the year are not due for payment until the fourth quarter,
thus making it necessary for the Company to borrow significant amounts pending
collection of these receivables. Currently, the Company has available
committed unsecured lines of credit totaling approximately $450,000. It also
has available uncommitted lines exceeding $850,000. The Company believes that
these amounts are adequate for its needs. Of these available lines, at March
27, 1994, approximately $65,000 was in use.
RECENT INFORMATION
- ------------------
On April 1, 1994, the Company amended its existing revolving credit agreement.
The amendment decreases the available amount to $440,000, extends the maturity
of the agreement to May 31, 1997, removes certain compliance requirements and
reduces the commitment rate and margin, making the facility more economical
for the Company.
