Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms with current customers, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our significant accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped and title passes to unaffiliated customers. In most cases, title transfers to our customers when the product has been presented to shipment forwarders on FOB Asia sales and when the product is picked up from our distribution facilities on domestic sales. Provision is made currently for returns of defective and slow-moving merchandise, price protection and customer allowances and is included as a reduction of accounts receivable and sales. The provision is primarily based on known returns and allowances provided to customers for sales activities, as well as an historically based estimate of potential unknown customers’ allowances and claims. Shipping and handling revenues are included in net sales, and cost of goods sold includes the shipping and handling costs associated with inbound and outbound freight. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition,” provides guidance on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company has concluded that its revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and SAB No. 101.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s estimate for its allowance is based on two methods which are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts where we have information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations (bankruptcy, etc.). In these cases, the Company uses its judgement, based on the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amounts reserved. Second, a general reserve is established for all other customers based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced by a material amount.
Allowance for Returns and Defectives — The Company records a provision for estimated sales returns and defectives on sales in the same period as the related revenue is recorded. Our sales to customers generally do not give them the right to return products or to cancel firm orders. However, as is common in the industry, we sometimes accept returns for stock balancing and negotiate accommodations to customers, which include price discounts, credits and returns, when demand for specific product falls below expectations. Additionally, customers are given credit for any defective products they may have received. The allowance estimates are based on historical sales returns and defective rates, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the data the Company uses to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns and defectives, revenue could be overstated and future operating results adversely affected.
Inventories — Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. The Company reviews the book value of slow-moving items, discounted product lines and individual products to determine if these items are properly valued. The Company identifies these items and assesses the ability to dispose of them at a price greater than cost. If it is determined that cost is less than market value, then cost is used for inventory valuation. If market value is less than cost, then the Company establishes a reserve for the amount required to value the inventory at market. If the Company is not able to achieve its expectations of the net realizable value of the inventory at its current value, the Company would adjust its reserve accordingly.
Deferred Taxes — The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Generally accepted accounting principles require that we review deferred tax assets for recoverability and if needed, establish a valuation allowance for those amounts deemed unrecoverable. The review considers historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversals of temporary differences. Deferred tax
2
assets of the Company are primarily the result of unused net operating loss carry-forwards and foreign tax credits which expire over a range of years.
The Company recorded a $4.0 million charge in fiscal year 2002 to establish a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets, including $2.2 million of deferred tax assets related to prior years. The valuation allowance was determined in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which places primary importance on the Company’s cumulative operating results in the most recent periods when assessing the need for a valuation allowance. In 2001, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $566,000 related to foreign tax credits expiring in 2002, as it was determined that it was more likely than not that these credits would not be realized.
Goodwill — The Company made an acquisition in 2000 that included a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets. Under generally accepted accounting principles through December 31, 2001, these assets were amortized over their useful lives, and were to be tested periodically to determine if they were recoverable from future operating earnings over their useful lives. We recorded goodwill amortization expense of $513,396 and $513,360, respectively in 2001 and 2000.
Effective in 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to at least an annual impairment test based on its estimated fair value. Other intangible assets meeting certain criteria will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and also subject to an impairment test. There are many assumptions and estimates underlying the determination, including future cash flow and operating results. Management engaged an independent company to assist in valuing the Company’s goodwill as of December 31, 2002 and 2001. Based on these reviews, no impairment charge is required.

| | 2002 | | 2001 | | 2000 | |
Net sales | | 100.0 | % | 100.0 | % | 100.0 | % |

Fiscal Year 2002 Compared to Fiscal Year 2001
Net Sales. Net sales during fiscal 2002 decreased $18.1 million, or 26.7%, to $49.8 million, from $67.9 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease is primarily due to the continued overall sluggish U.S. retail climate and shifts in consumer preferences that were not met by the Company’s product line. Additionally, mechanical engineering redesign work required on two key promoted products resulted in an approximate four-week production delay. The delay, combined with the time lost due to the west-coast dock strike, limited the availability of key products for the early Christmas shipment window and resulted in cancelled orders. Though production was caught-up quickly, the shorter available retail selling period and retailer’s concerns about reductions in allocations by consumers for Christmas buying contributed to reduced ordering activity.

Net sales of Juvenile Audio Products in fiscal 2002 decreased $6.3 million, or 23.8%, to $20.1 million, from $26.3 million in 2001. The major product groups in this category are Youth Electronics (formerly Youth Communications) and Musical Instruments. Youth Electronics provided $7.6 million in 2002 sales, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 48.5%, when compared to 2001 sales of $14.6 million. The Youth Electronics decrease is due to continued sales declines in children’s walkie-talkies, reflecting a product shift to role-play and spy related products and continued price pressures, and a decrease in sales of the e-Brain™ personal communicator, which was introduced in the fall of 2001. Musical Instruments increased $800,000, or 7.3%, to $12.5 million in 2002 sales as compared to $11.7 million in 2001 sales. The increase reflects the introduction in 2002 of new folding instruments, the Pro Series lines of keyboards and drum-pads, which was partially offset by declines in sing-a-long products and other de-emphasized musical instruments.
Net sales of Girls’ Toys decreased $11.5 million, or 36.6%, to $20.0 million in fiscal 2002 from $31.5 million during fiscal 2001. The decrease reflects reduced sales of the Elite™, Little Darlings®, and Pride and Joy® doll lines, interactive dolls such as Too Cute Twins®, Susie So Smart™ and Hush L’l Baby®, and the Air Nails Salon™ girls activity toy. This decrease was partially offset by sales of 2002 production introductions, the Somersault Sara™ doll and the girls activity toy, Twist and Twirl Braider™.
Net sales of Boys’ Toys decreased $2.4 million, or 27.4%, to $6.2 million during fiscal 2002 from $8.6 million in fiscal 2001. Reduced sales of the Insector® R/C vehicle, introduced in 2000, and 2001 close-out sales of Data-Dawg™, were partially offset by sales of the new 2002 R/C product, Dual Fusion™.
Net sales of products in other categories increased $2.0 million, or 133.1%, to $3.5 million in fiscal 2002 from $1.5 million in 2001. The increase is primarily driven by sales of the new 2002 drawing-toy, LazerDoodle, and was partially offset by decreases in sales of doorbells, preschool products and other electronic games.
Net sales to customers in countries other than the United States by the Company’s foreign subsidiary in fiscal 2002 decreased $2.3 million, or 19.4%, to $9.4 million, compared to 2001 net sales of $11.7 million. The decreased sales reflect the soft overall world retail market, the effect of exchange rate issues, competition with knock-offs of proprietary products, and political instability in several countries and regions. Additionally, production delays that limited the availability of key products resulted in some canceled orders and lost sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $8.8 million or 44.4%, to $11.1 million during fiscal 2002 from $19.9 million in fiscal 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.2% during fiscal 2002 from 29.3% in fiscal 2001. The gross profit dollar decrease reflects reduced sales, in conjunction with the lower percentage of net sales during fiscal 2002 over 2001. The percentage decrease reflects an increased provision for slow-moving inventory, price pressures due to the slow moving U.S. economy and increased allowances required to move inventory in customers stores.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.1 million to $16.0 million, or 20.6%, from $20.1 million in fiscal 2001. Decreases occurred in nearly all areas in 2002, including a $1.4 million reduction in bad debt expense due to the 2001 provision for Kmart’s bankruptcy filing. Additionally, employee expense, travel and entertainment, and general office expense decreased approximately $988,000, $203,000 and $482,000 respectively, due in part to the closure of the Company’s New Jersey office in the fourth quarter of 2001 and management’s focus on reducing general office expense. Professional fees decreased approximately $168,000, primarily due to the expiration of a consulting agreement with a director (and former CEO). Sales commissions and advertising expense decreased $240,000 and $155,000 respectively, reflecting the lower sales amounts. A $112,000 reduction in depreciation expense as assets became fully depreciated was offset by a $146,000 increase in other expenses, including product insurance and losses on assets sales or abandonment. Goodwill amortization decreased $514,000, due to the adoption in fiscal 2002 of a new accounting pronouncement that eliminated amortization.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $243,000, or 21.1%, to $912,000 in fiscal 2002 from $1.2 million in fiscal 2001 as a result of lower interest rates on the Company’s floating rate debt.
4
Income Taxes. The Company generated in fiscal 2002 a loss before income taxes of $5.7 million compared to a $1.0 million loss before income taxes in fiscal 2001. These losses, combined with a $1.3 million loss before income taxes in fiscal 2000, provide negative evidence of the ability to realize the future tax benefits associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $4.0 million in 2002, consisting of $2.2 million generated in prior years and $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended 2002. Additionally, the Company incurred and recorded a foreign tax expense of approximately $70,000 in 2002.
Net Loss. The Company’s net loss for fiscal 2002 was $8.0 million compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for fiscal 2001. The primary driving factor was the significant decrease in sales and margin amounts in 2002 compared with 2001, which more than offset gains made in reducing selling, general, and administrative expense.
Fiscal Year 2001 Compared to Fiscal Year 2000
Net Sales. Net sales during fiscal 2001 decreased $2.5 million, or 3.6%, to $67.9 million from $70.4 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease was due primarily to reduced sales of Boys’ Toys and Juvenile Audio products, partially offset by sales of Girls’ Toys.
Net sales of Juvenile Audio Products decreased $1.5 million, or 5.2%, to $26.3 million during fiscal 2001 from $27.8 million during fiscal 2000. The major product groups in this category are Youth Electronics and Musical Instruments, providing $14.6 million and $11.7 million respectively in 2001 sales, compared to $14.2 million and $13.6 million respectively in 2000. The Youth Electronics product group increase reflects sales of e-Brain™ personal communicator, introduced in fall 2001, partially offset by decreases in walkie-talkie sales, due to increased competition in non-branded products. Musical Instruments sales decreased primarily in keyboards, which is a result of decreased warehouse club business with one non-primary customer.
Net sales of Girls’ Toys increased $3.5 million, or 12.4%, to $31.5 million in fiscal 2001 from $28.0 million in fiscal 2000. The sales increase in Girls’ Toys was driven by the television promoted Too Cute Twins™ doll line, the girls activity toy Air Nails Salon™ and the plush toy Kitty Kitty Kittens®, which was partially offset by declines in sales of dolls in the Pride & Joy®, Elite® and other general doll lines.
Net sales of Boys’ Toys decreased $4.1 million, or 32.4%, to $8.6 million during fiscal 2001 from $12.7 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease is due primarily to the discontinuation of the Blockmen® line of products sold in 2000 and decreased sales of the primary 2000 R/C vehicle, Insector®, and other boys’ items, which was partially offset by sales of the new 2001 R/C vehicle, Street Savage™.
Net sales of products in other categories decreased approximately $460,000, or 0.5%, to $1.5 million during fiscal 2001 from $1.9 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease is attributable to lower sales of games, video phones, doorbells and other discontinued lines, which was partially offset by increased sales of preschool products.
Net sales to customers in countries other than the United States by the Company’s foreign subsidiary decreased $1.6 million, or 12.0%, to $11.7 million during fiscal 2001, compared to $13.3 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease reflects the strength of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, thereby negatively affecting sales distributors potential retail price points and margins. International net sales were 17.2% of total net sales for fiscal 2001 as compared to 18.9% of total net sales in fiscal 2000.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased approximately $400,000, or 2.0%, to $19.9 million during fiscal 2001 from $20.3 million in fiscal 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.3% during fiscal 2001 from 28.9% in fiscal 2000. The percentage increase reflects the continued focus on sales of proprietary products, such as the Too Cute Twins™ doll, Air Nails Salon™ girls’ activity toy, and the Street Savage™ R/C vehicle, versus lower margin, more volume-driven non-proprietary products. Proprietary products, which were 80% of our total net sales in 2001, generate a higher margin percentage.
5
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $200,000 to $20.1 million, or 1.3%, during fiscal 2001 from $20.3 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease reflects reductions of approximately $945,000 and $846,000 in advertising and commission expenses due to lower sales volume. Additionally, professional fees decreased $356,000, as expenses associated with the 2000 Meritus merger were non-reoccuring, along with a $120,000 decrease in various operating expenses. Partially offsetting these decreases was an approximate $525,000 increase in employee compensation, due to employee additions and a significant increase in receivables’ bad debt expense. The $1.7 million provision for uncollectible accounts receivable is primarily related to the January 2002 bankruptcy filing of Kmart Corp.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $319,000, or 21.6%, to $1.2 million in fiscal 2001 from $1.5 million during fiscal 2000. The decrease was due primarily to lower interest borrowing rates in 2001 as compared to 2000.
Income Taxes. In fiscal 2001, the Company generated a loss before income taxes of $1.0 million compared to a $1.3 million loss before income taxes during fiscal 2000. A significant contributor to the 2001 loss was a $1.7 million provision for uncollectible accounts receivable. The provision is not included in taxable income for 2001, but will be included in taxable income in a future year when the underlying receivables are written-off against the provision. As a result, the Company believes its ability to use foreign tax credits expiring in 2002 has been potentially negated, and therefore has recorded a $566,000 valuation allowance for the credits in 2001.
Net Loss. The Company’s net loss for fiscal 2001 was approximately $1.4 million compared to a net loss of approximately $849,000 for fiscal 2000. The 2001 net loss was due in significant part to the required increase in the uncollectible receivables provision related to the Kmart bankruptcy. The $1.7 million provision offset all other gains made in reduction of selling, general and administrative expense by management in response to the reduced 2001 sales volumes from 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company historically has funded its operations and capital requirements by cash generated from operations and borrowings. The Company’s primary capital needs have consisted of acquisitions of inventory, financing accounts receivable and capital expenditures for product development.
The Company’s operating activities provided net cash of $5.2 million during fiscal 2002, consisting primarily of decreases in accounts receivable and increases in accounts payable. The accounts receivable decrease is due to reduced sales during the fourth quarter of 2002. This decrease, combined with decreased third quarter sales, negatively impacted the funds available to pay suppliers and key vendors, including television advertising, resulting in a significant increase in accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2002 was approximately $2.1 million and was mostly due to capital expenditures. Net cash used by financing activities was $1.6 million in 2002, resulting from payments on long-term debt. The Company’s working capital at December 31, 2002, was ($6.5) million and unrestricted cash was approximately $1.7 million. See “The Revolver.”
The seasonal nature of the toy business results in complex working capital needs. The Company’s working capital needs, which the Company generally satisfies through short-term borrowings, are greatest in the last two fiscal quarters. To manage these working capital requirements, the Company maintains credit facilities collateralized principally by accounts receivable and inventory. The Company currently maintains the Revolver, and through DSI(HK), the Dao Heng Credit Facility and the Standard Chartered Facility. The Company has guaranteed DSI(HK)’s obligations under the Dao Heng Credit Facility and the Standard Chartered Facility.
The Revolver
The Company’s net losses for the period ended December 31, 2002, and its overall financial condition resulted in the Company being out of compliance with the minimum net worth and net income covenants required under the Revolver. Therefore, the Company’s $7.0 million debt under the Revolver as of December 31, 2002, has been reclassified as a current liability. As a result, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $6.5 million as of December 31, 2002. If Sunrock were to accelerate the Revolver, which it has the option to do, the $7.0 million debt would become immediately due and payable.
6
Sunrock has recently completed a transaction with Wells Fargo & Company in which Wells Fargo purchased most of Sunrock’s existing loans. Sunrock has retained certain credit facilities, including the Revolver. Based on discussions with Sunrock, the Company’s management believes that although Sunrock will not amend the Revolver, nor grant a waiver for the Company’s non-compliance, Sunrock will not accelerate the Revolver at this time.
Dao Heng Facility and Standard Chartered Facility
The Dao Heng Facility and the Standard Chartered Facility were obtained on December 4, 2001, and April 29, 2002, respectively, are subject to periodic review, and may be canceled by the bank upon notice. The Standard Chartered Facility affords DSI(HK) a credit limit in the aggregate of up to HKD 19,000,000 (approximately US $2.4 million as of December 31, 2002) in the form of a line of credit financing facility based on actual shipments of product and opened letters of credit. The Dao Heng Facility affords DSI(HK) a credit limit in the aggregate of up to US$6,000,000. The Company has guaranteed DSI(HK)’s obligations under the Dao Heng Credit Facility and the Standard Chartered Facility.

On March 19, 2001, the Company issued to MVII an Investment Warrant to acquire 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.7 million. The Investment Warrant was exercisable in whole or in part for a ten-year period beginning on June 3, 2002. In connection with the issuance of the Investment Warrant, the Company and MVII entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which MVII was granted certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of the common stock underlying the Warrant. Shares of common stock acquired by MVII upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to the terms of a Shareholders’ and Voting Agreement dated as of April 5, 1999, among MVII and certain of the Company’s other shareholders. Proceeds from the sale of the Investment Warrant were used by the Company for current working capital.
On January 31, 2002, at the request of Nasdaq and with the agreement of MVII, the Company issued an amended and restated Investment Warrant, which amended and restated in its entirety the Investment Warrant by removing all anti-dilution provisions. In addition, the Company and MVII entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which amended and restated in its entirety the Registration Rights Agreement, by removing all of the provisions regarding the anti-dilution provisions of the original Investment Warrant.
On August 21, 2002, MVII converted the pre-paid Investment Warrant into 1.8 million shares of common stock. Upon issuance of these shares, MVII directly owned 5,994,238 shares of common stock.
In connection with the acquisition of Meritus Industries, Inc., in January 2000, the Company borrowed $5 million from MVII, evidenced by a promissory note dated January 7, 2000 (the “MVII Note”). The Company re-borrowed on March 6, 2002, May 21, 2002, and March 10, 2003 a total of $1.35 million of the original principal that the Company had paid on the MVII Note. The proceeds were used to finance the normal business operations of the Company.
On August 19, 2002, the Company executed a Guarantee in favor of Standard Chartered Bank, guaranteeing the Standard Chartered Facility on behalf of DSI(HK) up to an amount not to exceed HKD 19,000,000 (approximately US$2.4 million at December 31, 2002). The Revolver was amended on August 14, 2002, to permit this Guarantee.
The Company is obligated to make future minimum royalty payments under certain of its license agreements. As of December 31, 2002, the Company was required to make an aggregate of approximately $250,000 in payments of guaranteed royalties under certain licenses in fiscal 2002 and $835,000 thereafter through fiscal 2007. Included in these amounts, are minimum royalties due Kawasaki under a September 11, 2002 amendment to the original license agreement, extending the license through 2007.
The Company made approximately $1.5 million in capital expenditures in fiscal 2002 consisting primarily of purchases of tools, molds and information technology systems.
7
The Company purchases goods, services and supplies from a number of vendors. The Company currently is in arrears in making its payment obligations to certain of these vendors.
Going Concern
The Company’s viability as a going concern is dependent upon successful negotiations with Sunrock, a new lender, or a substantial capital infusion, as well as sustained profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
To the extent the Company’s cash reserves and cash flows from operations are insufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company will need to successfully raise additional capital through an equity infusion or the issuance of debt. The Company’s executive management believes that the Company will be required to either obtain a new revolving loan or obtain necessary additional capital to allow the Company to continue its normal operations for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance the Company will meet its projected operating results or be successful either in obtaining additional capital, or obtaining a new revolving loan.
The Company has held discussions and negotiations with several lenders regarding a credit facility to replace the Revolver. Management is negotiating with one of those institutions regarding a replacement credit facility that will become effective at the close of the anticipated going private transaction, which is discussed immediately below. Management believes that the going private transaction will close and that the Company will be able to continue its operations until that time.
Going Private Transaction
Since the Company’s cash reserves and cash flows from operations no longer meet its cash requirements, the Company has explored various alternatives to raise additional capital.
In January 2003, after other alternatives for the Company had been exhausted, E. Thomas Martin, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and certain other officers, directors and shareholders of the Company (the “Buyer Group”) began serious consideration of a going-private transaction. On January 27, 2003, the Board of Directors invited the Buyer Group to submit an offer to the Company for a going-private transaction. In anticipation of such an offer, and upon consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors appointed directors M.D. Davis and Joseph N. Matlock as a special committee of independent, disinterested directors for the purpose of considering, evaluating and negotiating any proposed transaction on behalf of the shareholders who are not members of the Buyer Group and making a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also authorized the special committee to retain, at the Company’s expense, independent legal and financial advisors.
On January 28, 2003, the Buyer Group proposed to the Company a going-private transaction by way of a merger that would result in the purchase of shares of common stock held by the shareholders who are not members of the Buyer Group for $0.44 per share.
On January 29, 2003, the Company issued a press release confirming receipt of the Buyer Group’s proposal and announcing that its Board of Directors had formed a special committee of independent, disinterested directors.
The special committee considered several investment bankers to serve as independent financial advisors to the special committee. On February 4, 2003, after evaluating, among other factors, each considered investment bank’s expertise, responsiveness, knowledge of the Company, fees and toy industry experience, the special committee approved the retention of Chaffe & Associates, Inc. (“Chaffe”) as its financial advisor in connection with the proposal of the Buyer Group.
On February 20, 2003, the special committee met with representatives of Chaffe and Haynes and Boone, LLP (“Haynes and Boone”), legal counsel for the special committee. The purpose of the meeting was to review and consider the $0.44 per share proposal by the Buyer Group and to discuss with the special committee’s financial and legal advisors a negotiating strategy. Chaffe reviewed with the special committee its evaluation of the Company and the $0.44 per share proposal based upon Chaffe’s extensive, though not yet complete, investigation of the Company. The special committee concluded that, based on then-current information, it would not approve the proposal by the Buyer Group of $0.44 per share and discussed possible counteroffers to the Buyer Group’s proposal, including an alternative royalty structure.

On February 28, 2003, the special committee again met with representatives of Chaffe and Haynes and Boone. At the meeting, Chaffe reviewed with the special committee its evaluation of the Company and the $0.44 per share proposal in light of Chaffe’s concluded investigation of the Company. The special committee concluded that, based on then-current information, it would not approve the proposal by the Buyer Group of $0.44 per share and discussed possible counteroffers to the Buyer Group’s proposal, including an alternative royalty structure. Legal counsel for the special committee was then directed to communicate the rejection of the Buyer Group’s offer to counsel for the Buyer Group and to propose a counter offer of $0.61 per share.
On March 4, 2003, legal counsel for the Buyer Group informed the special committee that the Buyer Group had rejected the special committee’s counter offer of $0.61 per share but had increased its offer to $0.47 per share.
On March 5, 2003, the special committee met with representatives of Chaffe and Haynes and Boone to review and consider the $0.47 per share counter offer by the Buyer Group and chose to make another counteroffer of $0.50 per share to the Buyer Group. M.D. Davis communicated the $0.50 per share counter offer to the Buyer Group.
On March 5, 2003, the Buyer Group rejected the special committee’s latest counteroffer and reiterated its offer to purchase the common stock owned by the shareholders who are not members of the Buyer Group for $0.47. The same day, the special committee met with representatives of Chaffe and Haynes and Boone. Representatives of Chaffe delivered an oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) that, on the basis of and subject to the matters discussed with the special committee, including final negotiation of the merger agreement, the proposed $0.47 per share cash price was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders, other than the members of the Buyer Group. The special committee then unanimously determined that the proposed merger was fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, other than the members of the Buyer Group, subject to final negotiation of the merger agreement. Counsel for the special committee then advised counsel for the Buyer Group that the special committee had recommended acceptance of the Buyer Group’s proposal of $0.47 per share, subject to final negotiation of the merger agreement.
Between March 5, 2003 and March 26, 2003, the special committee, the Buyer Group, the Company and representatives of Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal, LLP, legal counsel to the Company, and Haynes and Boone negotiated the non–price terms of the draft merger agreement.
On March 26, 2003, the special committee met to review the terms of the merger agreement and the merger. A representative of Chaffe made a presentation to the special committee describing the analysis supporting its opinion that the $0.47 per share cash consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders who are not members of the Buyer Group. Based upon the opinion provided by Chaffe and its own investigation, the special committee unanimously voted to recommend that the Board of Directors approve the merger agreement and the merger. Later that day, the Board of Directors met, received a presentation from Chaffe, and received the recommendation of the special committee. Based upon the opinion of Chaffe and the recommendation of the special committee, the Board of Directors determined that the proposed merger was fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve the merger agreement and the merger and recommended that the shareholders of the Company approve the merger agreement and the merger.
On March 27, 2003, the merger agreement was signed. The Company issued a press release announcing the merger agreement.
If the shareholders of the Company approve the merger, the Company’s shares will be delisted from the over-the-counter Bulletin Board electronic quotation system and its common stock will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will continue in business as a privately-held Texas corporation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 141 entitled “Business Combinations” was issued in June 2001 and became effective July 1, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that acquisitions be recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. The pooling-of-interests method of accounting allowed under prior standards, which reflected business combinations using historical financial information, is now prohibited.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142 entitled “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which became effective on January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, existing goodwill is no longer amortized, but is tested for impairment using a fair value approach. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at a level referred to as a reporting unit, generally one level lower than reportable segments. SFAS No. 142 required us to perform the first goodwill impairment test on all reporting units within six months of adoption. The first step is to compare the fair value with the book value of a reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its book value, the second step will be to calculate the impairment loss, if any. After the initial adoption, we will test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. Management engaged an independent company to assist in valuing the Company’s goodwill at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Based on these reviews, an impairment charge was not required as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Due to the nature of our business, this new accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a significant impact on our reported results of operations and financial condition.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of a Disposal of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” for the disposal of a segment of a business. This Statement also amends ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. SFAS No. 144 became effective on January 1, 2002, and interim periods within fiscal 2003, with early application encouraged. The provisions of this Statement generally are to be applied prospectively. This accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a significant impact on our reported results of operations and financial condition.
In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, “Recision of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” was issued. This statement provides guidance on the classification of gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt and on the accounting for certain specified lease transactions. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” was issued. This statement provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with disposal activities and is effective on January 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
10
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, An Amendment of FAS No. 123.” This statement addresses the acceptable transitional methods when the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation covered in SFAS No. 123 is elected. Additionally, the statement prescribes tabular disclosure of specific information in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” regardless of the method used and also required interim disclosure of similar information. The Company has adopted this statement effective with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. The Company has not elected the fair value method, but continues accounting for stock-based compensation by the intrinsic method prescribed by APB Opinion 25. The disclosure required by SFAS 148 is included in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” which established additional accounting and disclosure requirements when an enterprise guarantees the indebtedness of others. The enterprise providing the guarantee is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation assumed and disclose the information in its interim and annual financial statements. The Company does not believe this will have a significant impact on our disclosures.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretaton No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” The interpretation defines when and who consolidates a “variable interest entity,” or “VIE.” This new consolidation model applies to entities (i) where the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest, or (ii) whose equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties and requires additional disclosures for all enterprises involved with the VIE. FIN 46 is effective during 2003 depending on when the VIE is created. The Company does not believe this will have a significant impact on our reported results of operations and financial condition.
Meritus Acquisition
Effective January 7, 2000, the Company acquired Meritus by way of merger. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Meritus for 533,208 shares of the Company’s common stock and $2.57 million in other consideration paid to the shareholders of Meritus. Contemporaneously with the merger, the Company satisfied $4.4 million of Meritus’ debt. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method; therefore the Company recorded the acquired assets at their fair market value, generating a significant amount of goodwill. (See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
As a result of the merger, the Company added the Baby Beans® brand soft bean bag dolls, Forever Girl Friends® brand accessories for 11-1/2” fashion dolls, and Little Darlings® brand value-priced action feature dolls to its product offerings, as well as the Elite Dolls™ brand, which was created by Meritus specifically to manufacture and market “Lifetime Play Dolls™,” a line of exquisite 18” dolls and accessories suitable for playing or collecting.
Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation in the United States, Europe or Asia in recent years has had a significant effect on its results of operations.
Year 2000
The Company did not experience any Year 2000 issues with its internal operating systems or with its customers or vendors. In addition, the Company did not experience any loss in revenues due to the Year 2000 issue.

The Company is including this Cautionary Statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “continue,” “plans,” “aims,” “intends,” “likely,” or other words or phrases of similar terminology. Management cautions you that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements, please read carefully the information under Item 1, “Risk Factors”, of this Form 10-K. In addition to the Risk Factors and other important factors detailed herein and from time to time in other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Forms 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K, the following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by any forward-looking statements.
Marketplace Risks
• Increased competitive pressure, both domestically and internationally, which may negatively affect the sales of the Company’s products;
• Changes in public and consumer taste, which may negatively affect the sales of the Company’s products;
• Significant changes in the play patterns of children, whereby they are increasingly attracted to more developmentally advanced products at younger ages, which may affect brand loyalty and the perceived value of and demand for the Company’s products; and
• Possible weaknesses in economic conditions, both domestically and internationally, which may negatively affect the sales of the Company’s products and the costs associated with manufacturing and distributing these products.
Financing Considerations
• Currency fluctuations, which may affect the Company’s reportable income; significant changes in interest rates, both domestically and internationally, which may negatively affect the Company’s cost of financing both its operations and investments.
• The ability of the Company to obtain the financing required for its ongoing operations, which may negatively affect the ability of the Company’s viability as a going concern.
Other Risks
• Changes in laws or regulations, both domestically and internationally, including those affecting consumer products or trade restrictions, which may lead to increased costs or interruption in normal business operations of the Company;
• Future litigation or governmental proceedings, which may lead to increased costs or interruption in normal business operations of the Company; and

12
The risks included herein and in Item 1 “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10–K may include additional factors which could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
All other schedules are omitted because they are not applicable or the required information is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
F-1
Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
DSI Toys, Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSI Toys, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations and is in violation of certain lending covenants resulting in a working capital deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” beginning in 2002, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill.

DSI TOYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - Organization:
DSI Toys, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in November 1970. The Company markets and distributes a variety of toys and children’s consumer electronics both within the United States and internationally, primarily to retailers. The Company’s products are manufactured primarily in the People’s Republic of China.
Effective May 1, 1997, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to (i) authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of $.01 par value preferred stock, (ii) change the par value of common stock to $.01 and (iii) reduce the authorized shares of common stock to 20,000,000 shares.
On June 3, 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, which provided the Company net proceeds of $17.7 million. All of the net proceeds were used to repay debt of the Company. In connection with the Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock to the lead underwriters. Such warrants are exercisable at $10.80 per share and expired on May 28, 2002.
Effective May 28, 1999, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 35,000,000 shares.
Effective June 1, 1999, the Company consummated transactions with MVII, LLC (“MVII”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 15, 1999. As a result of those transactions, MVII made a total investment of $12 million in the Company’s common stock, $5 million of which was paid directly to the Company for the purchase of 2,458,491 shares of common stock.
On August 21, 2002, MVII converted a prepaid Investment Warrant in exchange for 1.8 million shares of common stock. The Investment Warrant was issued March 19, 2001, for a cash purchase price of $2.7 million. Proceeds from the sale of the Investment Warrant were used by the Company for current working capital.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s viability as a going concern is dependent upon successful negotiations with Sunrock, a new lender, or a substantial capital infusion, as well as sustained profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
To the extent the Company’s cash reserves and cash flows from operations are insufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company will need to successfully raise additional capital through an equity infusion or the issuance of debt. The Company’s executive management believes that the Company will be required to either obtain a new revolving loan or obtain necessary additional capital to allow the Company to continue its normal operations for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance the Company will meet its projected operating results or be successful either in obtaining additional capital, or obtaining a new revolving loan.
Since the Company’s cash reserves and cash flows from operations no longer meet its cash requirements, the Company has explored various alternatives to raise additional capital.
The Company has held discussions and negotiations with several lenders regarding a credit facility to replace the Revolver. Management is negotiating with one of those institutions regarding a replacement credit facility that will become effective at the close of the anticipated going private transaction, which is discussed in greater detail below. Management believes that the going private transaction will close and that the Company will be able to continue its operations until that time.

Delisting
On February 14, 2002, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. that the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum price of US$1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the “Rule”). The Company was granted a 180 calendar day grace period to comply with the Rule, but was still not in compliance with the Rule on August 13, 2002, the final day of the grace period. However, at such time the Company was granted an additional 180 calendar day grace period to comply with the Rule because it did meet the initial listing criteria for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(A). The additional grace period expired on February 10, 2003, without the Company being in compliance with the Rule. On March 18, 2003, the Company received notification that its securities would be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market at the opening of business on March 27, 2003. The Company elected not to appeal the delisting determination and its common stock commenced trading on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board electronic quotation system effective with the opening of business on March 27, 2003, under the ticker symbol “DSIT.”
Going Private Transaction
Since the Company’s cash reserves and cash flows from operations no longer meet its cash requirements, the Company has explored various alternatives to raise additional capital.
In January 2003, after other alternatives for the Company had been exhausted, E. Thomas Martin, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and certain other officers, directors and shareholders of the Company (the “Buyer Group”) began serious consideration of a going-private transaction. On January 27, 2003, the Board of Directors invited the Buyer Group to submit an offer to the Company for a going-private transaction.
On January 28, 2003, the Buyer Group proposed to the Company a going-private transaction by way of a merger that would result in the purchase of shares of common stock held by the shareholders who are not members of the Buyer Group for $0.44 per share.
The Board of Directors appointed a special committee to review the proposed transaction.
Based on a series of negotiations between the special committee and representatives of the Buyer Group, the purchase price was increased to $0.47 per share.
On March 26, 2003, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve the merger agreement and recommended that the shareholders approve the merger agreement and the merger.
On March 27, 2003, the merger agreement was signed and the Company issued a press release announcing the merger agreement.
If the shareholders of the Company approve the merger, the Company’s shares will be delisted from the over-the-counter Bulletin Board electronic quotation system and its common stock will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will continue in business as a privately-held Texas corporation.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms with current customers, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our significant accounting policies include:
F-8
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned subsidiary DSI(HK) Limited. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year is the year ending December 31 of the calendar year mentioned. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to make the presentation consistent with the current year financial presentation.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers investments with original maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash, held as a compensating balance under a revolving loan supported by letters of credit is not considered a cash equivalent.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped and title passes to unaffiliated customers. In most cases, title transfers to our customers when the product has been presented to shipment forwarders on FOB Asia sales and when the product is picked up from our distribution facilities on domestic sales. Provision is made currently for returns of defective and slow-moving merchandise, price protection and customer allowances and is included as a reduction of accounts receivable and sales. The provision is primarily based on known returns and allowances provided to customers for sales activities, as well as an historically based estimate of potential unknown customers’ allowances and claims. Shipping and handling revenues are included in net sales, and costs of goods sold includes the shipping and handling costs associated with inbound and outbound freight.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s estimate for its allowance is based on two methods which are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts where we have information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations (bankruptcy, etc.). In these cases, the Company uses its judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amounts reserved. Second, a reserve is established for all other customers based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced by a material amount.
Allowance for Returns and Defectives
The Company records a provision for estimated sales returns and defectives on sales in the same period as the related revenue is recorded. Our sales to customers generally do not give them the right to return products or to cancel firm orders. However, as is common in the industry, we sometimes accept returns for stock balancing and negotiate accommodations to customers, which includes price discounts, credits and returns when demand for specific products fall below expectations. Additionally, customers are given credit for any defective products they may have received. The allowance estimates are based on historical sales returns and defective rates, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the data the Company uses to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns and defectives, revenue could be overstated and future operating results adversely affected.
Inventories
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on the average cost basis. The Company reviews the book value of slow-moving items, discounted product lines and individual products to determine if these items are properly valued. The Company identifies these items and assesses the ability to dispose of them at a price greater than cost. If it is determined that cost is less than market value, then cost is used for inventory valuation. If market value is less than cost, then the Company establishes a reserve for the amount required to value the inventory at market. If the Company is not able to achieve its expectations of the net realizable value of the inventory at its current value, the Company would adjust its reserve accordingly.
F-9
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations, and replacements or betterments are capitalized. Property or equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of is removed from the accounts, and any gains or losses thereon are included in operations during the period of disposal. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.
Debt issuance costs and debt discount
Debt issuance costs and debt discount are amortized over the term of the related debt on a straight-line basis.
Advertising
The cost of producing media advertising is capitalized as incurred and expensed in the period in which the advertisement is first shown. During interim periods, media communications costs are accrued in relation to sales when the advertising is clearly implicit in the related sales arrangement. All media communication costs are expensed however in the fiscal year incurred. All other advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Television advertising expense totaled $3,015,000, $2,500,000 and $3,621,000 during fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Prepaid television advertising production costs of $65,000, $130,000 and $101,000 respectively are included in prepaid expenses at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. The Company entered into advertising barter transactions in which the Company recorded $321,000, $730,000 and $529,000 in advertising expenses in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In addition, prepaid expenses at December 31, 2000, included $200,000 in bartered, prepaid 2001 print advertising. There is no bartered prepaid advertising expense at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Management believes these amounts approximate fair value.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for deferred income taxes using the liability method, which provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying value for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. U.S. deferred income taxes are provided on the undistributed earnings of the wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company recorded a $4.0 million charge in fiscal year 2002 to establish a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets, including $2.2 million of deferred tax assets generated in prior years. The valuation allowance was determined in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which places primary importance on the Company’s cumulative operating results in the most recent periods when assessing the need for a valuation allowance. The primary factors considered in evaluating the realizability of the deferred tax assets and establishing the valuation allowance were continued operating losses for the Company through December 31, 2002, the Company’s projection of future operating results and the number of years it will take to recover the tax assets in a difficult market. This evaluation provides sufficient negative evidence to establish an additional valuation allowance under the provisions of SFAS 109. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the allowance. The establishment of this valuation allowance in no way affects the Company’s ability to reduce future tax expense through utilization of net operating losses and foreign income tax credits. However, currently there can be no assurances that the net operating losses will be utilized.
Foreign currency translations
The Company’s foreign subsidiary uses the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while income and expenses are translated using average rates. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
F-10
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. Due to their short maturity, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates carrying value. The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates the carrying amount of the debt as it is at variable market rates.
Concentration of credit risk and export sales
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company sells its products principally to retail discount stores and toy stores. Five customers comprise a significant portion of the Company’s sales (53% in 2002), and therefore, receivables from one or all of these customers may, at any point in time, comprise a large portion of the Company’s total receivables, providing an increased concentration of credit risk. Additionally, the customer base is primarily located in the United States, though overall the Company’s customer base is large and geographically dispersed across the globe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to minimize credit risk, and for the majority of its FOB Asia sales, the Company obtains letters of credit from its customers supporting the accounts receivable. (See Note 12).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Because of the inherent uncertainties in their process, actual results could differ from such estimates. Management believes that the estimates are reasonable.
Impairment of assets
The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Goodwill has been amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method in 2001 and 2000. In 2002, the Company adopted, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“FAS142”), which eliminates amortization of goodwill beginning in January 2002 and requires an annual impairment test based on its estimated fair value, using future discounted cash flow and other factors.
The Company engaged an independent company to assist in the fair value assessment as of December 31, 2002 and 2001. Based on these assessments, an impairment valuation is not required.
Earnings per share
The Company reports both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding.
Stock options and warrants are the only potentially dilutive shares the Company has outstanding at December 31, 2002. The 574,000 shares, 729,500 shares and 866,500 shares, respectively of common stock options and warrants outstanding were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation during fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, because the options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation plans
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its plans and the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, An Amendment of FAS 123,” in disclosures regarding the plan.
The Company applies the intrinsic method proscribed by APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized by the Company for this plan. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share calculated as if compensation cost for the 1997 Plan was determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plan consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS 123 for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” was issued. The standard requires that legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived intangible assets be recorded at fair value when incurred and will be effective on January 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, “Recision of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” was issued. This statement provides guidance on the classification of gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt and on the accounting for certain specified lease transactions. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” was issued. This statement provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with disposal activities and is effective on January 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, An Amendment of FAS No. 123.” This statement addresses the acceptable transitional methods when the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation covered in SFAS No. 123 is elected. Additionally, the statement prescribes tabular disclosure of specific information in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” regardless of the method used and also required interim disclosure of similar information. The Company has adopted this statement effective with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. The Company has not elected the fair value method, but continues accounting for stock-based compensation by the intrinsic method prescribed by APB Opinion 25. The disclosure required by SFAS 148 is included in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” which established additional accounting and disclosure requirements when an enterprise guarantees the indebtedness of others. The enterprise providing the guarantee is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation assumed and disclose the information in its interim and annual financial statements. The Company does not believe this will have a significant impact on our disclosure.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” The interpretation defines when and who consolidates a “variable interest entity,” or “VIE.” This new consolidation model applies to entities (i) where the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest, or (ii) whose equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties and requires additional disclosures for all enterprises involved with the VIE. FIN 46 is effective during 2003 depending on when the VIE is created. The Company does not believe this will have a significant impact on our reported results of operations and financial condition.

Note 5 - Goodwill:
Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if indicators arise) for impairment. According to SFAS No. 142, companies are required to identify their reporting units and determine the aggregate carrying values and fair values of all such reporting units. To the extent the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its relative fair value, a second step of the SFAS NO. 142 impairment test is required. This second step requires the comparison of the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its related carrying value, both of which must be measured by the company at the same point in time each year. Any initial loss resulting from a goodwill impairment test must be recorded as a change in accounting principle. The Company engaged an independent company to assist in valuing the Company’s goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Based on these reviews, an impairment charge is not required.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each of the Company’s reportable business segments for the year ended December 31, 2002 were as follows:
| | United States | | Hong Kong | | Total | |
Balances as of January 1, 2002 | | $ | 9,241,128 | | $ | — | | $ | 9,241,128 | |

NOTE 7 - Notes Payable:
Indebtedness consists of the following:
| | December 31, 2002 | | December 31, 2001 | |
Primary Debt | | | | | |
Bank revolving line of credit for $17.5 million with a commercial bank, collateralized by all of the Company’s U.S. accounts receivable, intangibles, equipment, fixtures, and inventory, and 65% of the common stock of DSI(HK) Limited, principal due on March 31, 2004; interest at prime plus .75% (5% at December 31, 2002) | | $ | 7,014,998 | | $ | 9,210,390 | |
Revolving bank loan drawn against a $6 million line of credit, collateralized by customers’ letters of credit, fluctuating interest rate (4.25% at December 31, 2002) | | 709,566 | | — | |
Bank installment loan, bearing interest at 4.5%; payable in 12 monthly payments of HKD340,652 (approximately US$43,700 at December 31, 2002), including principal and interest, with final payment due December 3, 2003. | | 511,585 | | — | |
Short-term loans from 3 banks discounted and collateralized by specific customer’s letters of credit; interest ranging from 4.75% to 5.15%. | | | | 1,080,235 | |
Other | | 4,774 | | 40,415 | |
| | 8,240,923 | | 10,331,040 | |
Less: current portion | | 8,240,923 | | 1,120,650 | |
| | $ | — | | $ | 9,210,390 | |
The bank revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) includes a $17.5 million revolving line of credit commitment, subject to availability under a borrowing base calculated by reference to the level of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined in the agreement. The Revolver matures on March 31, 2004. Interest on borrowings outstanding under the Revolver is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate equal to prime plus .75%. In addition, an unused line fee at an annual rate equal to .50% applied to the amount by which $17.5 million exceeds the average daily principal balance during the month and a collateral management fee of $2,500 is payable monthly.
The Revolver contains certain restrictive covenants and conditions among which are prohibition on payment of dividends, limitations on further indebtedness, restrictions on dispositions and acquisitions of assets, certain defined maximum allowed borrowing amounts, limitations on advances to third parties, compliance with minimum net worth and net income amounts, and designation as “Senior Indebtedness” with respect to the related party debt described below. The Company has no cross-default provisions in any of its debt agreements.
The Company’s net losses for the year ended December 31, 2002, resulted in the Company being out of compliance with the minimum net worth and net income covenants required under the Revolver. Therefore, the Company’s $7.0 million debt under the Revolver as of December 31, 2002, has been reclassified as a current liability. As a result, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $6.5 million as of December 31, 2002. If the Revolver, at the lender’s option, were to be accelerated, the $7.0 million debt would become immediately due and payable.
F-15
The Company in the past has been successful in negotiating the Revolver amendments to bring the Company back into compliance. Primary operations for the lender of the Revolver, Sunrock Capital Corp. were sold in February 2003, limiting the willingness of Sunrock to amend any remaining lending agreements. As a result, the Company is in discussions with several banks to replace the Revolver with a new similar loan. The Company’s viability as a going concern is dependent upon successful negotiations with Sunrock, a new lender, or a substantial capital infusion, as well as sustained profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
To the extent the Company’s cash reserves and cash flows from operations are insufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company will need to successfully raise additional capital through an equity infusion or the issuance of debt. The Company’s executive management believes that the Company will be required to either obtain a new revolving loan or obtain necessary additional capital to allow the Company to continue its normal operations for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance the Company will meet its projected operating results or be successful either in obtaining additional capital, or obtaining a new revolving loan.
In addition to the above, the Company has available an additional HKD $19,000,000 (approximately US $2.4 million) line of credit bank facility (the “Standard Chartered Facility”). The facility is in the form of a credit financing facility based on actual shipments of product and opened letters of credit and bears interest at the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 2%. This facility expires June 20, 2003.
The Company’s revolving bank loan drawn against a $6 million line of credit and the Standard Chartered Facility are subject to periodic review and may be canceled by the respective bank upon notice.
Related Party Debt | | December 31, 2002 | | December 31, 2001 | |
Promissory Note of $1,690,000 to Walter S. and Susan Reiling, collateralized by a $868,000 Letter of Credit, subordinated to other debt, payable in quarterly installments of $108,500 through January 7, 2005; including interest at 10.0375%. | | $ | 864,552 | | $ | 1,191,037 | |
| | | | | |
Promissory Note of $5,000,000 to MVII, Inc., subordinated to the Revolver, payable in monthly installments of $50,000 through July 2004 plus interest at prime plus 2% (6.25% at December 31, 2002). Additionally, under certain conditions as stipulated by the Revolver a $300,000 payment may be made on March 31 each year. | | 4,650,000 | | 3,850,000 | |
| | 5,514,552 | | 5,041,037 | |
Less: current portion | | 960,510 | | 1,751,485 | |
| | $ | 4,554,042 | | $ | 3,289,552 | |
The $868,000 Letter of Credit collateralizing the $1,690,000 promissory note, is provided for the benefit of the Company by MVII. Expenses associated with the letter of credit are reimbursed to MVII by the Company. Payment to MVII on the $5,000,000 promissory note is subject to the terms of a subordination agreement between MVII and the Revolver bank, which places restrictions on payment to MVII, based on the borrowing capacity available to the Company under the Revolver.
The Company’s ability to meet its maturing debt and other cash requirements is dependent on the continuation of sufficient lending arrangements, additional cash infusions, and/or cash from operations. In connection with any future cash needs or acquisition opportunities, the Company may incur additional debt or issue additional equity or debt securities depending on market conditions, as well as other factors. However, there can be no assurance the Company will meet its projected operating results.

The Internal Revenue Service regulations restrict the utilization of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes such as foreign tax credits for any company in which an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code has occurred. In June of 1999, the Company had a Section 382 change in ownership. As a result, the Company’s U.S. net operating losses and tax credits generated before this ownership change are subject to limitation of approximately $1,230,000 per year. For the current fiscal year, this limitation did not impact the Company’s utilization of U.S. net operating losses and foreign tax credits.
At December 31, 2002, the Company has approximately $1,514,000 in foreign tax credit carryforwards which expire between December 31, 2002 through December 31, 2007. The Company also has approximately $82,000 in alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards which do not expire. The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) of approximately $3,389,000 which expire in 2021. The Company’s state net operating loss carryforward is not significant. The benefit from utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to further limitations if significant ownership changes occur in the Company. The Company’s ability to realize the entire benefit of its deferred tax asset requires that the Company achieve certain future earnings levels prior to the expiration of its foreign tax credit and NOL carryforwards.
Deferred Taxes – The Company recorded a $4.0 million charge in fiscal year 2002 to establish a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets, including $2.2 million of deferred tax assets generated in prior years. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which places primary importance on the Company’s cumulative operating results in the most recent periods when assessing the need for a valuation allowance.
The primary factors considered in evaluating the realizability of the deferred tax assets and establishing the valuation allowance were continued operating losses for the Company through December 31, 2002, the Company’s projection of future operating results and the number of years it will take to recover the tax assets in a difficult market. This evaluation provides sufficient negative evidence to establish an additional valuation allowance under the provision of SFAS 109. The company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the allowance. The establishment of this valuation allowance in no way affects the Company’s ability to reduce future tax expense through utilization of net operating losses and foreign income tax credits.

NOTE 9 - Employee Benefit Plan:
The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of its U.S. employees. The Company may, at its discretion, provide funds to match employee contributions to the Plan. The Company contributed approximately $51,000, $63,000 and $54,000 in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, as employer matching contributions to employee contributions.
NOTE 10 - - The Stock Option Plan and Warrants:
The Company has reserved 388,888 common shares for issuance upon exercise of a warrant issued to a bank. The warrant expires on December 11, 2005. Upon completion of the going private transaction, such warrant will be exercisable at a purchase price of $0.47 per share.
In connection with the Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock. Such warrants are exercisable at $10.80 per share and expired May 28, 2002.
On August 21, 2002, MVII converted a prepaid Investment Warrant in exchange for 1.8 million shares of common stock. The Investment Warrant was issued March 19, 2002, for a cash purchase price of $2.7 million. Proceeds from the sale of the Investment warrant were used by the Company for current working capital.
In May 1997, the Board of Directors adopted the DSI Toys, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) whereby certain employees may be granted stock options, appreciation rights or awards related to the Company’s common stock. Additionally, the Company may grant nonstatutory stock options (as defined in the 1997 Plan) to nonemployee board members. The Board of Directors authorized 600,000 shares to be available for grant pursuant to the 1997 Plan. Options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.
Additional awards may be granted under the 1997 Plan in the form of cash, stock or stock appreciation rights. The stock appreciation right awards may consist of the right to receive payment in cash or common stock. Any award may be subject to certain conditions, including continuous service with the Company or achievement of business objectives.
In May 1999, the 1997 Plan was amended to authorize 900,000 shares to be available for grant.
In May 2000, the 1997 Plan was amended to authorize 1,200,000 shares to be available for grant.
A summary of the option activity under the 1997 Plan, as amended, follows:
| | Number of Outstanding Options | | Weighted Average Option Price | |
Options outstanding at December 31, 1999 | | 746,500 | | $ | 3.63 | |
Granted | | 142,500 | | 3.19 | |

Surrendered | | (165,500 | ) | 3.61 | |
Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 | | 574,000 | | $ | 3.53 | |
The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $3.13, $3.13 and $3.19 respectively. Vesting periods for options granted range from immediate to seven years from the date of grant in increments between 5% and 90% per year.

The Company applies the intrinsic method prescribed by APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized by the Company for this plan. The following unaudited pro forma data is calculated as if compensation cost for the 1997 Plan was determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plan consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS 123 for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000:
| | 2002 | | 2001 | | 2000 | |
Net loss, as reported | | $ | (8,012,226 | ) | $ | (1,449,518 | ) | $ | (848,986 | ) |

NOTE 17 - Business Combination
On January 7, 2000, the Company acquired by way of a merger all of the issued and outstanding stock of Meritus Industries, Inc. (“Meritus”) in exchange for (i) 600,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, less 66,792 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares were initially held by the Company and payable to Walter and Susan Reiling (the “Reilings”) upon satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions as set forth in the Closing and Holdback Agreement between the parties; (ii) $884,034 in cash; and (iii) the Company’s Subordinated Secured Promissory Note for $1,690,000 paid to the Reilings, who were the sole shareholders of Meritus. At the end of the holdback period (June 7, 2000), the post-closing conditions were not satisfied and none of the held back (66,792) shares was paid to the Reilings. The market value of the shares issued was $1,081,415 and was satisfied by the issuance of 347,365 shares of new stock and 185,843 shares in treasury stock. Contemporaneously with the merger, the Company satisfied approximately $4.4 million of Meritus’ debt.
The acquisition was accounted for utilizing the purchase method; therefore the Company recorded the acquired assets at their estimated fair market value. Goodwill generated by the transaction has been amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method in 2001 and 2000. In 2002, and thereafter the market value of the goodwill will be evaluated annually and an impairment charge recorded if appropriate in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
Commensurate with the merger, the Company borrowed $5,000,000 from MVII, LLC, a California limited liability company controlled by E. Thomas Martin (“MVII”), evidenced by a promissory note dated January 7, 2000. The proceeds from the note were used for the payment of the Meritus debt discussed above.
