Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned joint venture. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Company entered into a joint venture with Meisheng Culture & Creative Corp., for the purpose of providing certain JAKKS licensed and non-licensed toys and consumer products to agreed upon territories of the People’s Republic of China. The joint venture will include a subsidiary in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone that is expected to sell, distribute and market these products, which can include dolls, plush, role play products, action figures, costumes, seasonal items, technology and app-enhanced toys and many more, based on top entertainment licenses and JAKKS’ own proprietary brands. The Company owns fifty-one percent of the joint venture.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when acquired, 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 of cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Credit is granted to customers on an unsecured basis. Credit limits and payment terms are established based on extensive evaluations made on an ongoing basis throughout the fiscal year of the financial performance, cash generation, financing availability, and liquidity status of each customer. Customers are reviewed at least annually, with more frequent reviews performed as necessary, depending upon the customer’s financial condition and the level of credit being extended. For customers who are experiencing financial difficulties, management performs additional financial analyses before shipping to those customers on credit. The Company uses a variety of financial arrangements to ensure collectability of accounts receivable of customers deemed to be a credit risk, including requiring letters of credit, purchasing various forms of credit insurance with unrelated third parties, or requiring cash in advance of shipment.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon management’s assessment of the business environment, customers’ financial condition, historical collection experience, accounts receivable aging, customer disputes, and the collectability of specific customer accounts.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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 or their agents, depending upon terms, provided there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Generally the Company does not allow product returns. It provides its customers a negotiated allowance for breakage or defects, which is recorded when the related revenue is recognized. However, the Company does make occasional exceptions to this policy and consequently accrues a return allowance based upon historic return amounts and management estimates. The Company occasionally grants credits to facilitate markdowns and sales of slow moving merchandise. These credits are recorded as a reduction of gross sales at the time of the sale.

The Company’s reserve for sales returns and allowances decreased by $6.9 million from $31.4 million as of December 31, 2013 to $24.5 million as of December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to certain customers taking their year-end allowances related to 2013 and 2014 during 2014, as well as reduced markdown allowances in 2014.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based upon these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1:

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3:

Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based upon inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31 (in thousands):

The Company’s accounts receivable, short term debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses represent financial instruments. The carrying value of these financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The fair value of the 4.50% convertible senior notes payable due 2014 as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $37.7 million, the fair value of the 4.25% convertible senior notes payable due 2018 as of December 31, 2013 and 2014 was $97.4 million and $96.3 million respectively, based upon the most recent quoted market prices, and the fair value of the 4.875% convertible senior notes payable due 2020 as of December 31, 2014 was $100.9 million, based upon the most recent quoted market prices. The fair values of the convertible senior notes are considered to be Level 2 measurements on the fair value hierarchy.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, there was no impairment to the value of the Company’s non-financial assets.

Inventory

Inventory, which includes the ex-factory cost of goods, capitalized warehouse costs and in-bound freight and duty, is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, net of inventory obsolescence reserve, and consists of the following (in thousands):

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

Automobiles

5 years

Furniture and fixtures

5 - 7 years

Leasehold improvements

Shorter of length of lease or 10 years

The Company uses the usage method as its depreciation methodology for molds and tools used in the manufacturing of its products, which is more closely correlated to production of goods. The Company believes that the usage method more accurately matches costs with revenues. Furthermore, the useful estimated life of molds and tools is two years.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014, the Company’s aggregate depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $13.6 million, $11.8 million, and $10.4 million, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity from non-owner sources. The Company accounts for other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”. All the activity in other comprehensive income (loss) and all amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relate to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Advertising

Production costs of commercials and programming are charged to operations in the period during which the production is first aired. The costs of other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, was approximately $18.8 million, $10.1 million, and $19.3 million, respectively.

The Company also participates in cooperative advertising arrangements with certain customers, whereby it allows a discount from invoiced product amounts in exchange for customer purchased advertising that features the Company’s products. Typically, these discounts range from 1% to 6% of gross sales, and are generally based upon product purchases or specific advertising campaigns. Such amounts are accrued when the related revenue is recognized or when the advertising campaign is initiated. These cooperative advertising arrangements are accounted for as direct selling expenses.

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 file returns in their respective jurisdictions. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and 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.

Foreign Currency Translation Exposure

The Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. The translation of its net investment in subsidiaries with non-US dollar functional currencies subjects the Company to currency exchange rate fluctuations in its results of operations and financial position. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with non-US dollar functional currencies are translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income, expense, and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss/gain within stockholders’ equity. The Company’s primary currency translation exposures in 2012, 2013 and 2014 were related to its net investment in entities having functional currencies denominated in the Hong Kong dollar.

Foreign Currency Transaction Exposure

Currency exchange rate fluctuations may impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s currency transaction exposures include gains and losses realized on unhedged inventory purchases and unhedged receivables and payables balances that are denominated in a currency other than the applicable functional currency. Gains and losses on unhedged inventory purchases and other transactions associated with operating activities are recorded in the components of operating income in the consolidated statement of operations. Inventory purchase transactions denominated in the Hong Kong dollar were the primary transactions that caused foreign currency transaction exposure for the Company in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Accounting for the impairment of finite-lived tangible and intangible assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives, which include property and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill, are evaluated at least annually 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. Finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of product technology rights, acquired backlog, customer relationships, product lines and license agreements. These intangible assets are amortized over the estimated economic lives of the related assets. There were no impairments for years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. Losses in value are recorded when material impairment has occurred in the underlying assets or when the benefits of the identified intangible assets are realized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill consist of trademarks.

The carrying value of goodwill and trademarks are based upon cost, which is subject to management’s current assessment of fair value. Management evaluates fair value recoverability using both objective and subjective factors. Objective factors include cash flows and analysis of recent sales and earnings trends. Subjective factors include management’s best estimates of projected future earnings and competitive analysis and the Company’s strategic focus.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, there was no impairment to the value of the Company's goodwill or trademarks.

Share-based Compensation

The Company measures all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and records such expense in its consolidated financial statements. The Company recorded no stock option compensation in each of 2012, 2013, and 2014. The company recorded $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.5 million of restricted stock expense, in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. See Note 17 for further details relating to share based compensation.

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period (which consist of warrants, options and convertible debt to the extent they are dilutive). For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the convertible notes interest and related common share equivalent of 6,577,727, 10,037,523 and nil respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive stock options and warrants of 1,634,644, 1,627,144 and 1,601,272 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since they would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive restricted stock of 93,933, 111,195 and nil for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since they would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company is also party to a prepaid forward contract to purchase 3,112,840 shares of its common stock that are to be delivered over a settlement period in 2020. The number of shares to be delivered under the prepaid forward contract have been removed from the weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding. Any dividends declared and paid on the shares underlying the forward contract are to be reverted back to the Company based on the contractual terms of the forward contract.

Debt with Conversion and Other Options

The provisions of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” are applicable to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”), see Note 12, Convertible Senior Notes. ASC 470-20 requires the Company to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion feature) components of the 2014 Notes in a manner that reflects the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The company allocated $13.7 million of the $100.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes to the equity component, which represents a discount to the debt and will be amortized into interest expense through November 1, 2014. Accordingly, the company’s effective annual interest rate on the 2014 Notes will be approximately 7.3%. The Company repurchased $61.0 million of the 2014 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2013 as discussed below, with $2.8 million of the price allocated to the repurchase of the related equity component. In addition, approximately $2.2 million of the unamortized debt discount and $0.6 million of debt issuance costs were written off in connection with the repurchase of the 2014 Notes. The remainder of the 2014 Notes were redeemed at par at maturity on November 1, 2014. The balance of the unamortized debt discount was $0.9 million and nil at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

In July 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of $100.0 million principal amount of 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). The 2018 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company paying interest semi-annually in arrears on August 1 and February 1 of each year at a rate of 4.25% per annum and will mature on August 1, 2018. The initial conversion rate for the 2018 Notes will be 114.3674 shares of the Company’s common per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.74 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of the 2018 Notes may convert their notes upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the 2018 Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company used $61.0 million of the approximate $96.0 million in net proceeds from the offering to repurchase at par $61.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

On June 9, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of $100.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, principal amount of 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company paying interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 4.875% per annum and will mature on June 1, 2020. The initial conversion rate for the 2020 Notes will be 103.7613 shares of our common per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.64 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of the 2020 Notes may convert their notes upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the 2020 Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $110.4 million from the offering of which $24.0 million was used to repurchase 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock under a prepaid forward purchase contract and $39.0 million was used to redeem at par the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Notes at maturity on November 1, 2014. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

On June 9, 2014, the Company effectively repurchased 3,112,840 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $7.71 per share for an aggregate amount of $24.0 million pursuant to a prepaid forward share repurchase agreement entered into with Merrill Lynch International (“ML”). These repurchased shares are treated as retired for basic and diluted EPS purposes although they remain legally outstanding. The Company reflects the aggregate purchase price of its common shares repurchased as a reduction to stockholders’ equity allocated to treasury stock. Any dividends declared and paid on the shares underlying the forward contract are to be reverted back to the Company based on the contractual terms of the forward contract.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

In August 2014, the FASB amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and amended Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern.” This amendment prescribes that an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments will become effective for the Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2017. Upon adoption the Company will use this guidance to evaluate going concern.

	In September 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture (“DreamPlay Toys”) with NantWorks LLC (“NantWorks”) in which it owns a fifty percent interest. Pursuant to the operating agreement of DreamPlay Toys, the Company paid to NantWorks cash in the amount of $8.0 million and issued NantWorks a warrant to purchase 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a value of $7.0 million in exchange for the exclusive right to arrange for the provision of the NantWorks recognition technology platform for toy products. The Company has classified these rights as an intangible asset and will amortize the asset over the anticipated revenue stream from the exploitation of these rights. The joint venture entered into a Toy Services Agreement with an initial term of three years expiring on October 1, 2015 and a renewal period at the option of the Company expiring October 1, 2018, subject to the achievement of certain financial targets, to develop and produce toys utilizing recognition technologies owned by NantWorks. Pursuant to the terms of the Toy Services Agreement, NantWorks is entitled to receive a preferred return based upon net sales of DreamPlay Toys product sales and third-party license fees. The Company retains the financial risk of the joint venture and is responsible for the day-to-day operations, including development, sales and distribution, for which it is entitled to receive any remaining profit or is responsible for any losses. The results of operations of the joint venture are consolidated with the Company’s results. Sales of DreamPlay Toys products commenced in the third quarter of 2013.
	In addition, in 2012, the Company invested $7.0 million in cash in exchange for a five percent economic interest in a related entity, DreamPlay LLC, that will exploit the recognition technologies in non-toy consumer product categories. NantWorks has the right to repurchase the Company’s interest for $7.0 million. The Company has classified this investment as a long term asset on its balance sheet. The Company’s investment is being accounted for using the cost method. As of December 31, 2014 the Company determined the value of this investment will be realized and that no impairment has occurred.
	In November 2014, the Company entered into a joint venture with Meisheng Culture & Creative Corp., for the purpose of providing certain JAKKS licensed and non-licensed toys and consumer products to agreed upon territories of the People’s Republic of China.

	In October 2011, the Company acquired all of the stock of Moose Mountain Toymakers Limited, a Hong Kong company, and a related New Jersey company, Moose Mountain Marketing, Inc. (collectively, “Moose Mountain”). The total initial consideration of $31.5 million included future earn-out payments of up to an aggregate amount of $5.3 million in cash over the three calendar years following the acquisition based upon the achievement of certain financial performance criteria. The fair value of the expected earn-out of $4.6 million was included in goodwill and assumed liabilities as of December 31, 2011. The Company paid $1.75 million for the earn-out related to each of the years ended 2012, 2013 and 2014.
	In July 2012, the Company acquired all of the stock of Maui, Inc., an Ohio corporation, Kessler Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and A.S. Design Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (collectively, “Maui”). The cash consideration totaled $36.2 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay an earn-out of up to an aggregate amount of $18.0 million in cash over the three calendar years following the acquisition based upon the achievement of certain financial performance criteria, which was accrued and recorded as goodwill as of December 31, 2012. In 2013 and 2014, Maui did not achieve the prescribed earn-out targets, therefore $6.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, was recorded as other income. The remaining earn-out payment for 2015 of $6.0 million is included in accrued expenses in the amount of $5.3 million. Maui is a leading manufacturer and distributor of spring and summer activity toys and impulse toys and was included in the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition.
	In September 2012, the Company acquired all of the stock of JKID, LTD., a United Kingdom corporation for an initial cash consideration of $1.1 million and deferred cash payments of $5.5 million payable in five semi-annual payments of $1.1 million each.

	The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis by reviewing relevant qualitative and quantitative factors. More frequent evaluations may be required if the Company experiences changes in its business climate or as a result of other triggering events that take place. If carrying value exceeds fair value, a possible impairment exists and further evaluation is performed.
	The Company assessed its goodwill for impairment as of October 1, 2014 for each of its reporting units by evaluating qualitative factors, including, but not limited to, the performance of each reporting unit, general economic conditions, access to capital, the industry and competitive environment, the interest rate environment. The Company prepared step-one of its impairment model. The valuation of goodwill involves a high degree of judgment and uncertainty related to key assumptions. Due to the subjective nature of the impairment analysis, significant changes in the assumptions used to develop the estimate could materially affect the conclusion regarding the future cash flows necessary to support the valuation of goodwill.
	Based on the Company’s assessment, it determined that the fair value of its reporting units were not less than the carrying amounts. As such, the Company determined there was no impairment to be recorded.

Concentration of Credit Risk	Note 8—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 ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions, but does not require collateral to support domestic customer accounts receivable. Most goods shipped FOB Hong Kong or China are secured with irrevocable letters of credit.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 39.5% and 29.8%, respectively, of net accounts receivable. The concentration of the Company’s business with a relatively small number of customers may expose the Company to material adverse effects if one or more of its large customers were to experience financial difficulty. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its top customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses.

	In addition to royalties currently payable on the sale of licensed products during the quarter, the Company records a liability as Accrued Royalties for the estimated shortfall in achieving minimum royalty guarantees pursuant to certain license agreements (Note 16).
	The Company incurred reorganization charges in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2013 to consolidate and stream-line its existing business functions. This was especially necessary given the decreased volume of consolidated sales in 2009 from 2008 and the added general and administrative expenses from the three acquisitions made at the end of 2008 and the decreased volume of consolidated sales in 2013 from 2012. Reorganization charges relate to the termination of lease obligations, one-time severance termination benefits, property and equipment impairments and other contract terminations and are accounted for in accordance with “Exit and Disposal Cost Obligations” ASC 420-10.
	These rental property reorganization charges relate to the Company's Traditional Toys and Electronics segment. The components of the rental property reorganization charges are as follows (in thousands):

Credit Facility	Note 11—Credit Facility
	In September 2012, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provided for a $75.0 million working capital revolving credit facility. The amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility were originally payable in full upon maturity of the credit facility on April 30, 2013. By Amendment to the Loan Agreement dated March 28, 2013, the Company was granted an over advance of up to $30.0 million over the borrowing capacity of which $29.0 million was advanced to the Company on March 29, 2013. In addition, the maturity date was changed to April 2, 2013, on which date the Company paid off the credit facility in full.
	On March 27, 2014, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a secured credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation (the “GE Loan Agreement”). The GE Loan Agreement provides for a $75.0 million revolving credit facility subject to availability based on prescribed advance rates on certain accounts receivable and inventory. The amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are payable in full upon maturity of the revolving credit facility on March 27, 2017. The revolving credit facility is secured by a security interest in favor of the lender covering a substantial amount of the assets of the Company. The amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2014 is nil; the total borrowing capacity was approximately $67.1 million.
	The Company’s ability to borrow under the GE Loan Agreement is also subject to its ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants, including that the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (a) for the year-to-date periods ending on March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 maintain and earn on a year-to-date consolidated basis consolidated EBITDA equal to or greater than negative $12.5 million and negative $10.8 million, respectively, and (b) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.2:1.0 based on (i) the trailing three quarters as of September 30, 2014; and (ii) the trailing four quarters as of December 31, 2014 and thereafter.
	The GE Loan Agreement allows the Company to borrow under the revolving credit facility at LIBOR or at a base rate, plus applicable margins of 325 basis point spread over LIBOR and 225 basis point spread on base rate loans. In addition to standard fees, the revolving credit facility has an unused line fee based on the unused amount of the credit facility, ranging from 38.5 to 62.5 basis points. As of December 31, 2014, the rate on the revolving credit facility was 0.625%.
	The GE Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including a cross default provision and a change of control provision. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the GE Loan Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations become due and payable.
	As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the GE Loan Agreement. In the event the Company fails to meet any of the financial covenants or any other covenants under the GE Loan Agreement in the future, the lender could declare an event of default, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company would be required to obtain amendments and/or waivers or renegotiate the GE Loan Agreement with its lender. However there is no assurance that the lender will grant any waiver or agree to an amendment or renegotiation of the GE Loan Agreement. Any such amendment or waiver will likely require payment of a fee, result in higher interest rates on outstanding loan amounts and/or impose other restrictions.

	In November 2009, the Company sold an aggregate of $100.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes. The 2014 Notes, which were senior unsecured obligations of the Company, paid cash interest semi-annually at a rate of 4.50% per annum and matured on November 1, 2014. The initial conversion rate was 63.2091 shares of JAKKS common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.82 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. As a result of the cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the above-market self-tender offer in July 2012 (see Note 15 – Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Warrants), the latest conversion rate was 68.8564 shares of JAKKS common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (or approximately $14.52 per share). In July 2013, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $61.0 million principal amount of these notes at par plus accrued interest with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of $100.0 million principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due 2018 resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $0.1 million. The remainder of these notes were redeemed at par at maturity on November 1, 2014.
	ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company allocated $13.7 million of the $100.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes to the equity component, which represents a discount to the debt that was being amortized to interest expense through November 1, 2014. Interest expense associated with the amortization of the discount was $2.7 million, $2.0 million, and $0.9 million for December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Company repurchased $61.0 million of the 2014 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2013 as discussed below, with $2.8 million of the price allocated to the repurchase of the related equity component. In addition, approximately $2.2 million of the unamortized debt discount and $0.6 million of debt issuance costs were written off in connection with the repurchase of the 2014 Notes. The remaining aggregate $39.0 million of principal amount of the 2014 Notes were redeemed at par at maturity on November 1, 2014. The balance of the discount was $0.9 million and nil at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
	In July 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of $100.0 million principal amount of the 2018 Notes. The 2018 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company paying interest semi-annually in arrears on August 1 and February 1 of each year at a rate of 4.25% per annum and will mature on August 1, 2018. The initial conversion rate for the 2018 Notes will be 114.3674 shares of the Company’s common per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.74 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of the 2018 Notes may convert their notes upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the 2018 Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company used $61.0 million of the approximate $96.0 million in net proceeds from the offering to repurchase at par $61.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
	On June 9, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of $100.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, principal amount of 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company paying interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 4.875% per annum and will mature on June 1, 2020. The initial conversion rate for the 2020 Notes will be 103.7613 shares of our common per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.64 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of the 2020 Notes may convert their notes upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the 2020 Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $110.4 million from the offering of which $24.0 million was used to repurchase 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock under a prepaid forward purchase contract and $39.0 million was used to redeem at par the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Notes at maturity on November 1, 2014. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

	The Company does not file a consolidated return with its foreign subsidiaries. The Company files federal and state returns and its foreign subsidiaries file returns in their respective jurisdiction.
	For the years ended 2012, 2013 and 2014, the provision for income taxes, which included federal, state and foreign income taxes, was an expense of $86.2 million, $2.6 million, and $3.7 million reflecting effective tax provision rates of (462%), (5.1%) and 14.7%, respectively.
	For the years ended 2012 and 2013, provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes at effective tax rates of (462%) and (5. l %), respectively. Exclusive of discrete items, the effective tax provision rate would be 34.2% in 2012 and (5.8%) in 2013. The decrease in the effective rate absent discrete items was primarily due to the foreign rate differential between the United States and Hong Kong. The rate exclusive of discrete items can be materially impacted by the proportion of Hong Kong earnings to consolidated earnings.
	The 2014 tax expense of $3.7 million included a discrete tax expense of $0.3 million primarily comprised of adjustments from closed tax audits. Absent these discrete tax expenses, the Company’s effective tax rate for 2014 was 13.6%, primarily due to a full valuation allowance on the Company’s Untied States deferred tax assets and the foreign rate differential, and is impacted by the proportion of Hong Kong earnings to overall earnings and is expected to vary depending on the level of consolidated earnings.
	For years ended 2013 and 2014, the Company had net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to foreign jurisdictions.

	Valuation allowance		(491.7	)		(31.9	)		-5.8
			(462.0	)%		(5.1	)%		14.70%
	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. The Company has established a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in the United States since, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that the U.S. net deferred tax assets will be realized.

	The Company has approximately $240 million of cumulative undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries for which U.S. taxes have not been provided as of December 31, 2014. These earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. If future events necessitate that these earnings should be repatriated to the U.S., an additional tax expense and related liability may be required. The determination of the amount of unrecognized U.S. deferred tax liability for undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries is not practicable.
	The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions (“UTP”) taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
	No new unrecognized tax positions (UTPs) were recognized in 2014. In addition, approximately $44,000 of Federal R&D Credit based UTPs became de-recognized during 2014, due to the closing of an IRS income tax audit. These items were included in the 2014 income tax provision. During 2013, approximately $0.3 million of the liability for UTP was recognized, and approximately $2.5 million of the liability for UTP was de-recognized.
	Current interest on uncertain income tax liabilities is recognized as interest expense and penalties are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. During 2012, the Company recognized $27,000 of current year interest expense relating to UTPs. During 2013, the Company recognized $120,000 of current year interest expense relating to UTPs. During 2014, the Company recognized $150,000 of current year interest expense relating to UTPs.
	The following table provides further information of UTPs that would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized, as of December 31, 2014 (in millions):

Tax years 2012 through 2013 remain subject to examination in the United States and tax years 2008 through 2011 are under examination in California. The tax years 2010 through 2013 are generally still subject to examination in the various states. The tax years 2008 through 2013 are still subject to examination in Hong Kong. In the normal course of business, the Company is audited by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is not currently examining any of the tax years. The Company was under examination by various state jurisdictions during 2014.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets by jurisdiction. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for the U.S. deferred tax assets and record a charge to income if Management determines, based upon available evidence at the time the determination is made, that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.
For the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, the Company was in a cumulative pre-tax loss position in the U.S. On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2014, a valuation allowance of $106.8 million has been recorded against the U.S. deferred tax assets that more likely than not will not be realized. The net deferred tax liabilities of $2.6 million represent the net deferred tax liabilities in the foreign jurisdiction, where the Company is in a cumulative income position. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for growth.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards, or "NOLs," of approximately $59 million, which will begin to expire in 2031. At December 31, 2014, the Company's state NOLs were mainly from California. The majority of the approximately $98.3 million of California NOLs will begin to expire in 2031. At December 31, 2014, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $11.4 million, which will begin to expire in 2022. At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards ("credit carryforwards") of approximately $0.5 million, which will begin to expire in 2029. At December 31, 2014, the Company had state research and development tax credits of approximately $162,000, which carry forward indefinitely. Utilization of certain NOLs and research credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations set forth in Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and comparable state income tax laws. Any future annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOLs and credit carryforwards before utilization.

	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. On December 31, 2013 shares issued and outstanding were 22,668,680, and on December 31, 2014, shares issued and outstanding were 22,682,295.
	All issuances of common stock, including those issued pursuant to stock option and warrant exercises, restricted stock grants and acquisitions, are issued from the Company’s authorized but not issued and outstanding shares.
	In September 2012, the Company entered into the DreamPlay Toys joint venture with NantWorks LLC in which it owns a fifty percent interest. Pursuant to the operating agreement of DreamPlay Toys, the Company paid to NantWorks cash in the amount of $8.0 million and issued NantWorks a warrant to purchase 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $16.2823 per share at a value of $7.0 million in exchange for the exclusive right to arrange for the provision of the NantWorks platform for toy products. The fair value of the warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method, using assumptions consistent with the application of ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.
	The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based upon the historical daily volatility of its publicly traded stock. The Company used the warrant’s contracted life for the expected life. The dividend yield assumption is based upon the Company’s annualized dividend yield at the time of issuance. The risk-free interest rate is equal to the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of the grant for instruments with a similar expected life.
	In July 2012, the Company completed a self-tender offer to its shareholders and purchased 4 million shares of its common stock at a price of $20.00 per share for a total of $80.0 million, excluding offering costs of approximately $0.6 million. The tendered shares were immediately retired.
	During 2012, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share to shareholders of record as of market close on March 15, 2012, June 15, 2012, September 14, 2012 and December 14, 2012. Cash paid for these dividends were approximately $2.6 million, $2.6 million, $2.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
	During 2013, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share to shareholders of record as of market close on March 15, 2013 and June 14, 2013. Cash paid for these dividends were approximately $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. In July 2013, the dividend plan was suspended.
	In January 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 531,993 shares of restricted stock at a value of approximately $3.6 million to two executive officers, which vest, subject to certain company financial performance criteria, over a one to three year period. In addition, an aggregate of 78,150 shares of restricted stock were issued to its five non-employee directors, which vest in January 2015, at an aggregate value of approximately $0.5 million.
	On June 9, 2014, the Company effectively repurchased 3,112,840 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $7.71 per share for an aggregate amount of $24.0 million pursuant to a prepaid forward share repurchase agreement entered into with Merrill Lynch International (“ML”). These repurchased shares are treated as retired for basic and diluted EPS purposes although they remain legally outstanding. The Company reflects the aggregate purchase price of its common shares repurchased as a reduction to stockholders’ equity allocated to treasury stock. No shares have been delivered to the Company by ML as of December 31, 2014.
	No dividend was declared or paid in 2014.

Share-Based Payments	Note 17—Share-Based Payments
	Under its 2002 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), which incorporated its Third Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan, the Company has reserved 6,525,000 shares of its common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan, as well as for the awarding of other securities. Under the Plan, employees (including officers), non-employee directors and independent consultants may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock and other securities (Note 15). The vesting of these options and other securities may vary, but typically vest on a step-up basis over a maximum period of 4 years. Restricted shares typically vest in the same manner, with the exception of certain awards vesting over one to two years. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
	Restricted Stock
	Under the Plan, share-based compensation payments may include the issuance of shares of restricted stock. Restricted stock award grants are based upon employment contracts, which vary by individual and year, and are subject to vesting conditions. Non-employee directors each receive grants of restricted stock at a value of $100,000 annually which vest after one year – this amount is prorated if a director is appointed within the year. In addition, at the discretion of Management and approval of the Board, non-executive employees also may receive restricted stock awards, which occurs approximately once per year.
	During 2012, the Company issued a total of 79,812 shares of restricted stock; of which, 40,750 shares of restricted stock were issued to two executive officers and were, subsequently, forfeited based upon the Company not meeting certain financial targets for the year. The remaining 39,062 shares were granted to its non-employee directors. Also during 2012, certain employees, including an executive officer, surrendered an aggregate of 13,993 shares of restricted stock at a value of $0.2 million to cover income taxes on the vesting of shares. Additionally, the Company cancelled an aggregate of 6,428 shares of restricted stock due to the departure from the Company of three employees prior to vesting of their shares. As of December 31, 2012, 95,315 shares of the restricted stock remained unvested, representing a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.6 million.
	During 2013, the Company issued a total of 996,990 shares of restricted stock, of which, 285,543 shares of restricted stock (with performance based vesting measures) were issued to two executive officers and were subsequently forfeited based upon the Company not meeting certain financial targets for the year. 54,227 shares were granted to its non-employee directors. The remaining 657,220 shares of restricted stock were granted to non-executive employees. The Company cancelled 4,582 shares of restricted stock due to various non-executive employees departing from the Company prior to shares vesting completely. Also during 2013, certain employees, including an executive officer, surrendered an aggregate of 7,540 shares of restricted stock at a value of less than $0.1 million to cover income taxes on the vesting of shares. As of December 31, 2013, 721,752 shares of the restricted stock remained unvested, representing a weighted average grant date fair value of $5.0 million.
	During 2014, the Company issued a total of 610,143 shares of restricted stock; of which 531,993 shares of restricted stock (with performance based vesting measures) were issued to two executive officers and were subsequently forfeited based upon the Company not meeting certain financial targets for the year. A total of 78,150 shares were granted to its non-employee directors. The Company cancelled 12,658 shares of restricted stock due to various non-executive employees departing from the Company prior to shares vesting completely. Also during 2014, certain employees, including an executive officer, surrendered an aggregate of 51,877 shares of restricted stock at a value of less than $0.1 million to cover income taxes due on the vesting of restricted shares. As of December 31, 2014, 568,057 shares of the restricted stock remained unvested, representing a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.7 million.

	Stock Options
	Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period. During the fiscal period ending December 31, 2014, the Company incurred no expense related to stock options previously awarded.
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes method of valuation for share-based option awards. In valuing the stock options, the Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions about stock volatility, expected term of stock options, and risk free interest rate. The valuation is reduced by an estimate of stock option forfeitures.
	As of December 31, 2014, 679,717 shares were available for future grant. Additional shares may become available to the extent that options or shares of restricted stock presently outstanding under the Plan terminate or expire. Stock option activity pursuant to the Plan is summarized as follows:

Non-Employee Stock Warrants
In 2012, the Company granted 1,500,000 stock warrants with an exercise price of $16.28 per share and a five year term to a third party as partial consideration for the exclusive right to use certain recognition technology in connection with the Company’s toy products. The exercise price of the 2012 stock warrants is equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over the five trading days preceding the date of grant. All warrants vested upon grant and are exercisable over the term of the warrants.
At December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 the Company had 1,500,000 stock warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $16.28 per share and an expiration date of September 12, 2017.
The Company measures the fair value of the warrants granted on the measurement date. The fair value of the 2012 stock warrant is capitalized as an intangible asset and will be amortized to expense in the consolidated statements of operations when the related product is released and the related net sales are recognized, which commenced in the third quarter of 2013.

	On July 25, 2013, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California captioned Melot v. JAKKS Pacific, Inc. et al., Case No. CV13-05388 (JAK) against Stephen G. Berman, Joel M. Bennett (collectively the “Individual Defendants”), and the Company (collectively, “Defendants”). On July 30, 2013, a second purported class action lawsuit was filed containing similar allegations against Defendants captioned Dylewicz v. JAKKS Pacific, Inc. et al., Case No. CV13-5487 (OON). The two cases (collectively, the “Class Action”) were consolidated on December 2, 2013 under Case No. CV13-05388 JAK (SSx) and lead plaintiff and lead counsel appointed. On January 17, 2014, Plaintiff filed a consolidated class action complaint (the “First Amended Complaint”) against Defendants which alleged that the Company violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and/or misleading statements concerning Company financial projections and performance as part of its public filings and earnings calls from July 17, 2012 through July 17, 2013. Specifically, the First Amended Complaint alleged that the Company’s forward looking statements, guidance and other public statements were false and misleading for allegedly failing to disclose (i) certain alleged internal forecasts, (ii) the Company's alleged quarterly practice of laying off and rehiring workers, (iii) the Company's alleged entry into license agreements with guaranteed minimums the Company allegedly knew it was unable to meet; and (iv) allegedly poor performance of the Monsuno and Winx lines of products after their launch. The First Amended Complaint also alleged violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by Messrs. Berman and Bennett. The First Amended Complaint sought compensatory and other damages in an undisclosed amount as well as attorneys’ fees and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on February 17, 2014, and the motion was granted, with leave to replead. A Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”) was filed on July 8, 2014 and it set forth similar allegations to those in the First Amended Complaint about discrepancies between internal projections and public forecasts and the other allegations except that the claim with respect to guaranteed minimums that the Company allegedly knew it was unable to meet was eliminated. The foregoing is a summary of the pleadings and is subject to the text of the pleadings which are on file with the Court. Briefing was completed with respect to a motion to dismiss the SAC and oral argument was held on October 6, 2014 with respect to that motion. On March 2, 2015, the Court granted that motion and dismissed the complaint without prejudice to Plaintiff filing by March 23, 2015 an amended pleading setting forth an actionable misstatement (the “Dismissal Order”). The Dismissal Order is not a final judgment, and if an amended pleading is filed we cannot assure you as to the outcome of the matter, or that an adverse decision in such action would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
	On February 25, 2014, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Central District of California by Advanced Advisors, G.P. against the Company, nominally, and against Messrs. Berman, Bennett, Miller, Skala, Glick, Ellin, Almagor, Poulsen and Reilly and Ms. Brodsky (Advanced Partners, G.P., v. Berman, et al., CV14-1420 (DSF)). On March 6, 2014, a second shareholder derivative action alleging largely the same claims against the same defendants was filed in the Central District of California by Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System (Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System v. Berman et al., CV14-1670 (GHF). On April 17, 2014, the cases were consolidated under Case No. 2:14-01420-JAK (SSx) (the “Derivative Action”). On April 30, 2014, a consolidated amended complaint (“CAC”) was filed, which alleged (i) a claim for contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21(D) of the Securities Exchange Act related to allegations made in the Class Action; (ii) derivative and direct claims for alleged violations of Section 14 of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder related to allegedly misleading statements about Mr. Berman’s compensation plan in the Company’s October 25, 2013 proxy statement; (iii) derivative claims for breaches of fiduciary duty related to the Company’s response to an unsolicited indication of interest from Oaktree Capital, stock repurchase, standstill agreement with the Clinton Group, and decisions related to the NantWorks joint venture; and (iv) claims against Messrs. Berman and Bennett for breach of fiduciary duty related to the Class Action. The CAC seeks compensatory damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and declaratory and equitable relief. The foregoing is a summary of the CAC and is subject to the text of the CAC, which is on file with the Court. A motion to dismiss the CAC or, in the alternative, to stay the CAC, was filed in May 2014. The Court granted the motion in part and denied the motion in part with leave for plaintiff to file an amended pleading. Plaintiff declined to do so. Accordingly, claims i, ii and iv have been dismissed and only the elements of claim iii not relating to the NantWorks joint venture remain. Thus, there are no surviving claims against Messrs. Poulsen, Reilly and Bennett and Ms. Brodsky and the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to strike their names as defendants in the CAC. Pleadings in response to the CAC were filed on October 30, 2014, which are on file with the Court. Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings and plaintiffs filed a cross motion to amend and filed a protective derivative action in the Superior Court in California (the “Superior Court Action”), the text of which is on file with the Superior Court. The matter was referred to mediation by the Court and, at the mediation, the parties agreed to a settlement in principle of the Derivative Action and the Superior Court Action subject to Court approval. A notice of the settlement in principle was filed with the Court on February 17, 2015. On March 4, 2015 the Court directed that a stipulation of settlement be filed by March 23, 2015, and that it include a schedule of the steps contemplated in the settlement process.
	The Company is a party to, and certain of our property is the subject of, various pending claims and legal proceedings that routinely arise in the ordinary course of our business, but we do not believe that any of these claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2014

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned joint venture. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Company entered into a joint venture with Meisheng Culture & Creative Corp., for the purpose of providing certain JAKKS licensed and non-licensed toys and consumer products to agreed upon territories of the People’s Republic of China. The joint venture will include a subsidiary in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone that is expected to sell, distribute and market these products, which can include dolls, plush, role play products, action figures, costumes, seasonal items, technology and app-enhanced toys and many more, based on top entertainment licenses and JAKKS’ own proprietary brands. The Company owns fifty-one percent of the joint venture.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when acquired, 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 of cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Credit is granted to customers on an unsecured basis. Credit limits and payment terms are established based on extensive evaluations made on an ongoing basis throughout the fiscal year of the financial performance, cash generation, financing availability, and liquidity status of each customer. Customers are reviewed at least annually, with more frequent reviews performed as necessary, depending upon the customer’s financial condition and the level of credit being extended. For customers who are experiencing financial difficulties, management performs additional financial analyses before shipping to those customers on credit. The Company uses a variety of financial arrangements to ensure collectability of accounts receivable of customers deemed to be a credit risk, including requiring letters of credit, purchasing various forms of credit insurance with unrelated third parties, or requiring cash in advance of shipment.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon management’s assessment of the business environment, customers’ financial condition, historical collection experience, accounts receivable aging, customer disputes, and the collectability of specific customer accounts.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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 recognition

Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers or their agents, depending upon terms, provided there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Generally the Company does not allow product returns. It provides its customers a negotiated allowance for breakage or defects, which is recorded when the related revenue is recognized. However, the Company does make occasional exceptions to this policy and consequently accrues a return allowance based upon historic return amounts and management estimates. The Company occasionally grants credits to facilitate markdowns and sales of slow moving merchandise. These credits are recorded as a reduction of gross sales at the time of the sale.

The Company’s reserve for sales returns and allowances decreased by $6.9 million from $31.4 million as of December 31, 2013 to $24.5 million as of December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to certain customers taking their year-end allowances related to 2013 and 2014 during 2014, as well as reduced markdown allowances in 2014.

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based upon these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1:

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3:

Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based upon inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31 (in thousands):

The Company’s accounts receivable, short term debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses represent financial instruments. The carrying value of these financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The fair value of the 4.50% convertible senior notes payable due 2014 as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $37.7 million, the fair value of the 4.25% convertible senior notes payable due 2018 as of December 31, 2013 and 2014 was $97.4 million and $96.3 million respectively, based upon the most recent quoted market prices, and the fair value of the 4.875% convertible senior notes payable due 2020 as of December 31, 2014 was $100.9 million, based upon the most recent quoted market prices. The fair values of the convertible senior notes are considered to be Level 2 measurements on the fair value hierarchy.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, there was no impairment to the value of the Company’s non-financial assets.

Inventory

Inventory

Inventory, which includes the ex-factory cost of goods, capitalized warehouse costs and in-bound freight and duty, is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, net of inventory obsolescence reserve, and consists of the following (in thousands):

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

Automobiles

5 years

Furniture and fixtures

5 - 7 years

Leasehold improvements

Shorter of length of lease or 10 years

The Company uses the usage method as its depreciation methodology for molds and tools used in the manufacturing of its products, which is more closely correlated to production of goods. The Company believes that the usage method more accurately matches costs with revenues. Furthermore, the useful estimated life of molds and tools is two years.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014, the Company’s aggregate depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $13.6 million, $11.8 million, and $10.4 million, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity from non-owner sources. The Company accounts for other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”. All the activity in other comprehensive income (loss) and all amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relate to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Advertising

Advertising

Production costs of commercials and programming are charged to operations in the period during which the production is first aired. The costs of other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, was approximately $18.8 million, $10.1 million, and $19.3 million, respectively.

The Company also participates in cooperative advertising arrangements with certain customers, whereby it allows a discount from invoiced product amounts in exchange for customer purchased advertising that features the Company’s products. Typically, these discounts range from 1% to 6% of gross sales, and are generally based upon product purchases or specific advertising campaigns. Such amounts are accrued when the related revenue is recognized or when the advertising campaign is initiated. These cooperative advertising arrangements are accounted for as direct selling expenses.

Income taxes

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 file returns in their respective jurisdictions. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and 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.

Foreign Currency Translation Exposure

Foreign Currency Translation Exposure

The Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. The translation of its net investment in subsidiaries with non-US dollar functional currencies subjects the Company to currency exchange rate fluctuations in its results of operations and financial position. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with non-US dollar functional currencies are translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income, expense, and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss/gain within stockholders’ equity. The Company’s primary currency translation exposures in 2012, 2013 and 2014 were related to its net investment in entities having functional currencies denominated in the Hong Kong dollar.

Foreign Currency Transaction Exposure

Foreign Currency Transaction Exposure

Currency exchange rate fluctuations may impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s currency transaction exposures include gains and losses realized on unhedged inventory purchases and unhedged receivables and payables balances that are denominated in a currency other than the applicable functional currency. Gains and losses on unhedged inventory purchases and other transactions associated with operating activities are recorded in the components of operating income in the consolidated statement of operations. Inventory purchase transactions denominated in the Hong Kong dollar were the primary transactions that caused foreign currency transaction exposure for the Company in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Accounting for the impairment of finite-lived tangible and intangible assets

Accounting for the impairment of finite-lived tangible and intangible assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives, which include property and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill, are evaluated at least annually 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. Finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of product technology rights, acquired backlog, customer relationships, product lines and license agreements. These intangible assets are amortized over the estimated economic lives of the related assets. There were no impairments for years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. Losses in value are recorded when material impairment has occurred in the underlying assets or when the benefits of the identified intangible assets are realized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill consist of trademarks.

The carrying value of goodwill and trademarks are based upon cost, which is subject to management’s current assessment of fair value. Management evaluates fair value recoverability using both objective and subjective factors. Objective factors include cash flows and analysis of recent sales and earnings trends. Subjective factors include management’s best estimates of projected future earnings and competitive analysis and the Company’s strategic focus.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, there was no impairment to the value of the Company's goodwill or trademarks.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based Compensation

The Company measures all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and records such expense in its consolidated financial statements. The Company recorded no stock option compensation in each of 2012, 2013, and 2014. The company recorded $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.5 million of restricted stock expense, in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. See Note 17 for further details relating to share based compensation.

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period (which consist of warrants, options and convertible debt to the extent they are dilutive). For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the convertible notes interest and related common share equivalent of 6,577,727, 10,037,523 and nil respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive stock options and warrants of 1,634,644, 1,627,144 and 1,601,272 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since they would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive restricted stock of 93,933, 111,195 and nil for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since they would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company is also party to a prepaid forward contract to purchase 3,112,840 shares of its common stock that are to be delivered over a settlement period in 2020. The number of shares to be delivered under the prepaid forward contract have been removed from the weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding. Any dividends declared and paid on the shares underlying the forward contract are to be reverted back to the Company based on the contractual terms of the forward contract.

Debt with Conversion and Other Options

Debt with Conversion and Other Options

The provisions of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” are applicable to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”), see Note 12, Convertible Senior Notes. ASC 470-20 requires the Company to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion feature) components of the 2014 Notes in a manner that reflects the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The company allocated $13.7 million of the $100.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes to the equity component, which represents a discount to the debt and will be amortized into interest expense through November 1, 2014. Accordingly, the company’s effective annual interest rate on the 2014 Notes will be approximately 7.3%. The Company repurchased $61.0 million of the 2014 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2013 as discussed below, with $2.8 million of the price allocated to the repurchase of the related equity component. In addition, approximately $2.2 million of the unamortized debt discount and $0.6 million of debt issuance costs were written off in connection with the repurchase of the 2014 Notes. The remainder of the 2014 Notes were redeemed at par at maturity on November 1, 2014. The balance of the unamortized debt discount was $0.9 million and nil at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

In July 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of $100.0 million principal amount of 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). The 2018 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company paying interest semi-annually in arrears on August 1 and February 1 of each year at a rate of 4.25% per annum and will mature on August 1, 2018. The initial conversion rate for the 2018 Notes will be 114.3674 shares of the Company’s common per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.74 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of the 2018 Notes may convert their notes upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the 2018 Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company used $61.0 million of the approximate $96.0 million in net proceeds from the offering to repurchase at par $61.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

On June 9, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of $100.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, principal amount of 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company paying interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 4.875% per annum and will mature on June 1, 2020. The initial conversion rate for the 2020 Notes will be 103.7613 shares of our common per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.64 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of the 2020 Notes may convert their notes upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the 2020 Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $110.4 million from the offering of which $24.0 million was used to repurchase 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock under a prepaid forward purchase contract and $39.0 million was used to redeem at par the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Notes at maturity on November 1, 2014. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

On June 9, 2014, the Company effectively repurchased 3,112,840 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $7.71 per share for an aggregate amount of $24.0 million pursuant to a prepaid forward share repurchase agreement entered into with Merrill Lynch International (“ML”). These repurchased shares are treated as retired for basic and diluted EPS purposes although they remain legally outstanding. The Company reflects the aggregate purchase price of its common shares repurchased as a reduction to stockholders’ equity allocated to treasury stock. Any dividends declared and paid on the shares underlying the forward contract are to be reverted back to the Company based on the contractual terms of the forward contract.

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

In August 2014, the FASB amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and amended Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern.” This amendment prescribes that an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments will become effective for the Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2017. Upon adoption the Company will use this guidance to evaluate going concern.
