NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company on the same basis as the Company’s December 31, 2004 audited financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, some of the information and footnote disclosure normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and include all normal recurring adjustments. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
As a result of the May 20, 2004 transactions described in the following paragraphs, we have had a change of our management, our controlling shareholders, our financial position and our business plan.
On May 20, 2004, Small World Kids, Inc., formerly SavOn Team Sports, Inc. (“Small World”, “SWK” or the “Company”) executed an Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby SWK issued common stock in exchange for all of the equity interests of Fine Ventures, LLC (“FVL”). Prior to the Agreement, SWK was considered a shell company as it had minimal net assets and operations. As the shareholders of FVL control the Company subsequent to the transaction, the Agreement was accounted for as a purchase by FVL of SWK and the financial statements presented for the Company are a continuation of FVL. Simultaneously SWK acquired all of the issued shares of Small World Toys, Inc. (“SWT”) in a transaction accounted for as a purchase resulting in a change in management, controlling shareholders, financial position and business plan of SWT. As such, SWT is considered to be the predecessor business and SWK the successor for accounting purposes. As SWK is considered a holding company because it currently has no significant business operations or assets other than SWT, the predecessor company’s results of operations are also presented for comparative purposes.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes during the reporting period. Estimates in these financial statements may include but are not limited to inventory valuations, sales returns reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, income taxes and other contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or the service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon when all of the foregoing conditions are met which in general is at the time of shipment where the risk of loss and title has passed to the customer. However, certain shipments such as direct shipments from our vendors to the customer may be recognized at FOB destination, depending on sales terms. Additionally, we sometimes use consolidators to deliver our products (usually export shipments), in which circumstance revenue is recognized depending on sales terms specified by our sales agreements.
Sales allowances for customer promotions, discounts and returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue when the related revenue is recognized. We routinely commit to promotional sales allowance programs with customers. These allowances primarily relate to fixed programs, which the customer earns based on purchases of our products during the year. Discounts are recorded as a reduction of related revenue at the time of sale. Sales to customers are generally not subject to any price protection or return rights.
7
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and charged to operations within the Selling, General and Administrative expenses. Such costs were $40,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and $84,000 and $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
All shipping and handling costs related to sales to customers are expensed as incurred and charged to Selling, General and Administrative expenses. These expenses were $415,000 and $870,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively and $360,000 and $735,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) the stock options granted are accounted for under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded for stock options granted with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock at the option grant date.
SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if we had adopted the fair value method. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from our stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. For purposes of estimating the effect of SFAS 123 on our net income (loss) the fair value of our options was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| | Successor | | Predecessor | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 | | Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 | | May 21 – June 30, 2004 | | January 1 and April 30 – May 21, 2004 | |
Expected life (in years) | | 8.0 | | 9.0 | | 10.0 | | — | |
Expected volatility | | 135.0 | % | 135.0 | % | 0.0 | % | — | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.1 | % | 4.2 | % | 4.0 | % | | |
Expected dividend | | — | | — | | — | | — | |
Our calculations are based on a single option valuation approach and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. During the periods presented, we recorded no compensation expense under APB 25. Under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123, the estimated fair value of stock-based incentive awards is charged against income over the vesting period. The following pro forma net loss and loss per share information is presented as if the Company accounted for stock-based compensation awarded using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123:

The Company granted 3,000,000 stock options to four consultants in the first quarter of 2005 for work to be completed throughout the year. These options expire six months from the date of grant and vest immediately. These options were granted with an exercise price greater than the traded per share value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The value of the options of $345,000 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and will be recorded as non-cash compensation expense ratably over the twelve month term of the consulting agreement, of which $85,000 and $170,000 of non-cash compensation was recorded in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. 160,000 options were exercised by the consultants in the six months ended June 30, 2005. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2005, 1,420,000 options which had an original expiration date of July 4, 2005 were extended to December 31, 2005 and the remaining 1,420,000 options expired unexercised. The extension may result in additional future compensation charges.
The Company also granted 500,000 stock options to a consultant in the first quarter of 2005. These options vest quarterly over a three year period beginning in the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. Any unexercised options will expire three months after any termination of the consulting agreement. The value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and will be recorded as non-cash compensation expense during service period of the consulting agreement. The Company recorded compensation expense of $20,000 related to these options during the second quarter of 2005.
Recent Accounting Developments
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” (“SFAS No. 151”), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement is the result of a broader effort by the FASB working with the International Accounting Standards Board to reduce differences between U.S. and international accounting standards. SFAS No. 151 eliminates the “so abnormal” criterion in ARB No. 43 and companies will no longer be permitted to capitalize inventory costs on their balance sheets when the production defect rate varies significantly from the expected rate. It also makes clear that fixed overhead should be allocated based on “normal capacity.” SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2006 but does not believe that it will have a material effect on the results of operations or consolidated financial position.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS No. 154”). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in an accounting principle and to any changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires that all voluntary changes in accounting principles are retrospectively applied to prior financial statements as if that principle had always been used, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard, beginning in fiscal year 2006, is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

NOTE 4 ACQUISITIONS
On June 24, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of Imagiix LP (the “Seller”) for $150,000 in cash (excluding transaction expenses) and 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s stock. Imagiix is a developer and marketer of infant, toddler and preschool toys sold under the Imagiix® brand name and under various licenses, including Garfield and Jay Jay the Jet Plane. The 500,000 shares of stock issued to the Seller were determined to have a value of $245,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on June 24, 2005. Of the $150,000 cash purchase component, $100,000 was paid upon closing with $50,000 due on December 15, 2005. Additional cash consideration of up to 5% may be earned by the Seller based on sales by the Company of: (i) products currently in the Seller’s catalogs; (ii) new products developed by the Seller; (iii) and future products developed within the JJ the Jet Plane and Garfield product lines. We also incurred approximately $9,000 in acquisition related costs which are included in the total purchase price. In addition, we paid $20,000 to the Seller as an advance against sales of the Seller’s existing inventory which we have agreed to sell, splitting the proceeds equally.
This transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and was allocated to the net assets of Imagiix based on their estimated relative fair values on June 24, 2005 as follows:
Total purchase price, including expenses | | $ | 403,924 | |
Less: | | | |
Current assets | | — | |
Intangible assets | | (403,924 | ) |
Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired | | $ | — | |
The allocation of purchase price is subject to final determination based on valuations and other determinations that will be completed as soon as practical but no later than by the end of the third quarter of 2005 including performing valuations to finalize the fair value of any acquired identifiable intangible assets.

NOTE 5 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In accordance with SFAS 142, an intangible asset that is not subject to amortization such as goodwill shall be at a minimum, tested for impairment annually. The first of the impairment tests consists of a comparison of the total fair value of the Company based upon the closing stock price and the Company’s net assets on the date of the test. If the fair value is in excess of the net assets, there is no indication of impairment and no need to perform the second tier impairment test. The Company performed this test as of May 19, 2005, the one year mark of the purchase which resulted in the recording of the goodwill carried on the Company’s books. As the market value of the Company significantly exceeded the net assets of the Company, there is no indication of impairment and no adjustment was required to be made.
Components of our identifiable amortizable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):
| | June 30, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 | |
| | Gross Carrying Amount | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net | | Gross Carrying Amount | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net | |
Trade names | | $ | 2,002,643 | | $ | 211,894 | | $ | 1,790,749 | | $ | 2,002,643 | | $ | 111,760 | | $ | 1,890,883 | |

Non-compete agreement | | 140,000 | | 51,833 | | 88,167 | | 140,000 | | 8,558 | | 131,442 | |
Unallocated purchase price | | 403,924 | | — | | 403,924 | | — | | — | | — | |
Total | | $ | 3,707,538 | | $ | 407,878 | | $ | 3,299,660 | | $ | 3,303,614 | | $ | 190,372 | | $ | 3,113,242 | |
The unallocated purchase price component relates to the acquisition of Imagiix described in Note 4. As the transaction closed so near to the end of the quarter, we were unable to allocate the purchase price determined to relate to identifiable intangible assets as of the date of this report. The allocation is subject to final determination based on valuations and other determinations that will be completed as soon as practical but no later than by the end of the third quarter of 2005
Amortization expense of intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $125,000 and $220,000, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2005, the next five succeeding fiscal years and all years thereafter are as follows:
| | Estimated Amortization Expense | |
2005 (remainder) | | $ | 197,563 | |
2006 | | 395,125 | |

Small World Toys maintains a revolving credit facility with PNC Bank (“PNC) with a maximum asset based borrowing limit of $16,500,000 including a seasonal advance of $1,500,000. Interest is payable monthly at PNC’s prime rate plus 0.50. On January 14, 2005, the Company amended the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) from January 14, 2005 through and including March 14, 2005 to increase the concentration limit for receivables with standard terms owing from the Company’s largest customer from 10% to 25%. On May 12, 2005 the Company again amended its Credit Agreement to adjust its borrowing limit based on a percentage of eligible Receivables as follows: (i) from 80% to 90% until December 14, 2005; (ii) from 90% to 85% for the period December 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005. On January 1, 2006 the eligibility percentages will then revert to the original Credit Agreement terms until expiration. Additionally, the amended Credit Agreement stipulates repayment of any borrowings under the Seasonal Advance shall be repaid from in-full on June 15, 2005 in increments of $500,000 on November 30, 2005, December 15, 2005 and December 31, 2005. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants including a fixed charge financial covenant. As of June 30, 2005, we had $835,000 of availability on our credit facility which includes the seasonal advance. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants including a fixed charge financial covenant. As of June 30, 2005, we were in default under the terms of the Credit Agreement with PNC with the Net Worth and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants resulting in a reclassification of the credit facility from long-term to short-term. The lender has waived our non-compliance with these covenants for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005.
In order to fund a letter of credit required by one of the Company’s new vendors, on April 28, 2005 the Company entered into Term Credit Agreements (“Credit Agreements”) with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union and PCCW Credit Union (collectively the “Lenders”) for loans of $635,000 and $115,000, respectively due on or before August 31, 2005 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is payable monthly at a rate of 2.0% per month. The Credit Agreement with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union was subsequently increased on June 10, 2005 at the same terms and Maturity Date to $750,000.
The Company entered into a credit agreement on June 10, 2005 with HIT Credit Union for a loan of $135,000 due on or before August 31, 2005 with interest payable monthly at a rate of 2.0% per month to fund working capital requirements.
Additionally, in the first quarter of 2005 the Company reclassified the value of 650,000 shares of stock granted to St. Cloud Capital Partners L.P in conjunction with the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) on September 15, 2004 from a liability to equity. At inception it was believed that the Company may have had an unconditional obligation as set forth under SFAS No. 150 (“FAS 150”) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity and recorded the value of $325,000 as a liability. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company, based upon further information and analysis of the Agreement, reclassified the amount as it appeared the Shares granted are more appropriately be classified as equity.
NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As part of the purchase for SWT Shares on May 20, 2004, we entered into a contingent earnout with the former shareholder of Small World Toys whereby we agreed to a two year promissory note, payable in quarterly installments commencing April 2005 with a minimum payment of $700,000 and a maximum payment of $1,500,000, if certain sales targets are achieved in 2005 and 2006.
12
Certain claims are pending against us. In the opinion of management, such matters are without merit and are of such kind that if disposed of unfavorably, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 8 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the effect of the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as stock options and stock purchase contracts were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share have been computed as follows:
| | Successor | | Predecessor | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 | | May 21 – June 30, 2004 | | January 1 – May 21, 2004 | |

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, there was a total of 920,000 and 1,290,000 potentially dilutive securities considered to be anti-dilutive due to the net loss from operations and were not included in the calculations of earnings per share.
NOTE 9 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 20, 2005 the Company amended the Note Purchase Agreement between itself and St. Cloud Capital Partners LP (“St. Cloud”) pursuant to which St. Cloud agreed to advance to the Company an additional $500,000. The advance was made August 4, 2005. In consideration for the advance, the Company agreed to issue to St. Cloud an aggregate of 162,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants for the right to acquire an additional 87,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The aggregate of 437,500 Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest of (a) $0.40 per share or; (b) the per share price (or conversion price if a derivative security) of the next financing of the Company with gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000.
On August 11, 2005, the Company completed the issuance of an aggregate of $500,000 in Notes to various investors which included Debra Fine, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer who advanced $175,000. The Notes will mature one year from the date of execution with interest payable monthly at 10% per annum. In consideration for the loans, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 162,500 shares of the
13
Company’s Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 87,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest of (a) $0.40 per share, or (b) the per share price (or conversion price if a derivative security) of the next financing of the Company with gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000.
On August 11, 2005 the Company converted the $5,000,000 Bridge Note dated May 2004 issued to SWT, LLC, a related party, to Convertible Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.40. In addition, the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase 2,040,816 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.49 per share.
In 2004, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Put Agreements”) with each of Wire Mill Partners III LLC, LLC and Pewter Hill Partners LLC (“Purchasers”) that obligated each of them to purchase, upon our election, up to 10,100,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.3 million (representing a total commitment of $12.6 million). In August 2005 the Company converted the outstanding $5,000,000 Bridge Note issued to SWT, LLC to Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $.40. By agreeing to convert the Preferred Shares to Common at a price less than the highest exercise price stipulated by the Put Agreements, the Put Agreements automatically terminated August 11, 2005.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Small World Kids, Inc. (“Small World Kids” or the “Company”) was organized on May 20, 2004 pursuant to an Exchange Agreement by and among Small World Kids and a group of investors (“the Investors’), to exchange for all of the equity interests of Fine Ventures, LLC (“FVL”). Simultaneously, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Small World Kids, Debra Fine, Small World Toys, Eddy Goldwasser and Gail S. Goldwasser, Trustee of the Gail S. Goldwasser and Mark Chatinsky Family Trust (“Gail Goldwasser”; collectively with Eddy Goldwasser, (“Goldwassers”), Small World Kids acquired from the Goldwassers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Small World Toys (the “SWT Shares”).
As a result of the May 20, 2004 transactions, we have had a change of our management, our controlling shareholders, our financial position and our business plan. Small World Kids became a holding company and has no significant business operations or assets other than its interest in Small World Toys, the accounting predecessor company. As such, accounting guidelines dictate that the results of operations for the predecessor and successor entities be clearly segregated for financial reporting purposes. However, for the purpose of describing and analyzing the results of operations in this section, both predecessor and successor entities have been combined.
As of June 30, 2005, Small World Kids is comprised solely of Small World Toys and as such the balances and results for each entity are one in the same.
Our Strategy
Our strategic plan is market expansion through both organic company growth of product lines, introducing new play categories and licensing, as well as the acquisition of product lines and profitable companies that are accretive to our core business. We are acquiring product lines and companies that create synergies in operations, production and distribution without cannibalizing sales. We have strengthened Small World Toys, our platform company, to provide the infrastructure for the expansion which has allowed us to integrate our latest product line acquisitions, Neurosmith and Imagiix. Within the $25 Billion toy industry, we believe there are numerous small to mid-market companies in the $10 Million to $75 million range that are profitable and provide an attractive acquisition opportunity. We believe we will be able to acquire companies and product lines at 5-7 times earnings. The public P/E’s ratios for the Toy Industry are currently at approximately 15-20X.
The anticipated benefits of the proposed strategy include:
• Enhanced channels of distribution for products through the combination of the potential target’s alternative distribution channels with the Company’s specialty retail distribution channels.
15
• Diversified product lines within high growth categories to create additional in-store placement in multiple sections of the store, which we believe will increase per store orders and a greater percentage of shelf space.
• Greater number of unit sales for a product which will decrease manufacturing costs, therefore increasing margins and allowing us to benefit from price breaks that vendors offer for larger quantity orders.
• Fuller utilization of operations as a percentage of sales which will increase operating margins as we combine operating departments.
• Cost improvements in production and distribution coupled with expanded and improved product lines leading to increased profitability and growth.
• Expansion into international markets through multi-country distributors.
We regard economies of scale, product line extensions, new customer relationships, and opportunities for increased cost reductions as particularly important in our analysis of a potential acquisition’s strategic value. However, acquisitions involve many uncertainties, and our attempts to identify appropriate acquisitions, and finance and complete any particular acquisition, may not be successful. In addition, growth by acquisition involves risks that could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, including difficulties in integrating the operations, the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies and potential increase of indebtedness to finance the acquisition.
Small World Toys
Through Small World Toys, we develop, manufacture, market and distribute toys that promote healthy minds and bodies in infant, pre-school, early learning, imaginative play and active play categories. We also distribute our products in more than 2,600 outlets in the specialty, mass, chain, education, catalog, online and international channels through sales representatives as well as in-house sales personnel. Our proprietary brands include IQ Baby®, IQ Preschool®, Ryan’s Room®, Gertie Ball®, Small World Living™, Puzzibilities®, All About Baby®, Neurosmith® and Imagiix®. We also exclusively distribute product for several well-known brands such as TOLO®, BAO, Little Tikes® and Baby Culture to the specialty toy market in the United States through our SW Express™ distribution arm. Small World Toys has also acquired licenses for its products including “Clifford the Big Red Dog” from Scholastic, the works of Eric Carle, including “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, Garfield and JJ the Jet Plane. We have been successful in limiting the impact of the toy industry seasonality and fads by focusing on evergreen brands with enduring themes and play patterns resulting in long life cycle products of 4-7 years. The Company has been distributing its products into many of these channels for 40 years.
We outsource the manufacturing of our proprietary products to vendors in Asia. We believe our outsourcing strategy enhances the scalability of our manufacturing efforts. We use numerous manufacturers to source components and build finished products to our specifications. Manufacturers are selected based on their technical and production capabilities and are matched to particular products to achieve cost and quality efficiencies. We have long-standing relationships with many of our manufacturers. The majority of our products are shipped directly to our warehouse in Carson, California and are later shipped to meet the demands of our retailers and distributors.
Our products are sold domestically and internationally to a broad spectrum of customers including traditional retailers, large and small, specialty toy stores, gift stores, wholesalers, distributors, national chain stores, mail order houses, catalog stores, department stores, as well as internet-based “e-tailers.” Our own sales force manages a wide group of sales representatives across the country and also sells directly to key accounts.
While many of our products are evergreen brands or long life cycle products, we are continually developing new products and redesigning existing products. Our product offerings are a combination of proprietary products that we design, sourced product that we find in other countries, purchase and package in our packaging for distribution and open market products, or products that we do not have exclusivity, which we put through our distribution chain for retailers.
Although we do have the capability to create and develop products from inception to production, we also use third-parties to provide a portion of the sculpting, sample making, illustration and package design required for our products. Typically, the development process takes from nine to eighteen months from concept to production and shipment to our customers.
We employ a staff of designers. We occasionally acquire other product concepts from unaffiliated third parties. If we accept and develop a third party’s concept for new toys, we generally pay a royalty on the toys developed from
16
this concept that are sold. Royalties payable to inventors and developers generally range from 3% to 5% of the wholesale sales prices for each unit of a product sold by us. We believe that utilizing experienced third-party inventors gives us access to a wide range of development talent.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. We have or will introduce new product catalogs in January, April, June and August. Generally, the second quarter is the period of lowest shipments and sales and, therefore, the least profitable due to fixed costs. Seasonality factors may cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We reduce our seasonality with retailer “early buy” programs that encourage them to stock our products in the first and second calendar quarters and pay during the third and fourth quarters. This allows us to occupy greater shelf space throughout the year.
Our short to mid-term strategic plan is to focus on both domestic and international market expansion. To achieve this goal, we will focus on brand recognition, quality control, decreasing costs, research and development and strategic acquisitions.
We will use Small World Toys as the platform company that will provide well-known and respected brands, long-standing retail relationships and strong operating experience. Management expects that this base will provide the infrastructure from which to acquire additional companies, products and brands. Acquisition targets will be chosen to create synergies in operations, production and distribution without cannibalizing sales.
Acquisitions
On June 24, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of Imagiix LP (the “Seller”) for $150,000 in cash (excluding transaction expenses) and 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s stock. Imagiix is a developer and marketer of infant, toddler and preschool toys sold under the Imagiix® brand name and under various licenses, including Garfield and Jay Jay the Jet Plane. The 500,000 shares of stock issued to the Seller were determined to have a value of $245,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on June 24, 2005. Of the $150,000 cash purchase component, $100,000 was paid upon closing with $50,000 due on December 15, 2005. Additional cash consideration of up to 5% may be earned by the Seller based on sales by the Company of: (i) products currently in the Seller’s catalogs; (ii) new products developed by the Seller; (iii) and future products developed within the JJ the Jet Plane and Garfield product lines. We also incurred approximately $9,000 in acquisition related costs which are included in the total purchase price. In addition, we paid $20,000 to the Seller as an advance against sales of the Seller’s existing inventory which we have agreed to sell, splitting the proceeds equally. This transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and was allocated to the net assets of Imagiix based on their estimated relative fair values on June 24, 2005. See the accompanying financial statements for detail of the individual components of the assets purchased.

Net sales
Net revenue for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased approximately $765,000 or 14.2% and $1,320,000 or 11.0%, respectively from the same periods one year ago. The revenue increase is mainly attributable to the expansion of the Company’s product lines including brands such as Active Edge®, IQ Baby®, Small World Living™, Gertie Balls®, Tolo® and the All about Baby products. The introduction of the Neurosmith product line in the Second Quarter resulted in sales of approximately $300,000. SW Express™, our distribution arm experienced over a 60% increase for both the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2005 over the comparable prior year periods. Somewhat offsetting these increases were decreased shipments relating to certain core brands, such as Puzzibilities® and products relating to the following item classes; Imaginative Play, Tub Tints and Vehicles.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased approximately $70,000 or 2.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 but increased by $235,000 or 4.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The gross margin rate decreased to 37.5% and 41.7% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively as compared to 44.0% and 44.4% the same periods the prior year. The decrease in gross margin primarily resulted from a greater mix of sales to national chains of 29.2% and 19.9% of net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively as compared to 19.0% and 14.2% of net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004. Sales to national chains typically have lower gross margins than sales to the specialty stores, but do not incur commissions, freight out or warehousing expenses. In addition, there was an increase in promotional rebates and royalties in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods of the prior year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased approximately $610,000 or 19.5% and 1,895,000,or 31.3% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively as compared to the same periods the prior year. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 60.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 from 57.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 59.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 50.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
The primary reason for the increase in operating expenses related to an increase in research and development costs of $295,000 or 115.5% and $535,000 or 106.4% incurred in the development of new products for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period the prior year, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses incurred in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $215,000 or 7.6% and $1,170,000 or 21.2%, respectively from the same periods one year ago principally as a result of the costs of becoming a public company which include increased legal, auditing, insurance and investor relations expenses, along with the cost of implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that we began in the fourth quarter, 2004. These costs were incurred for a full six months in 2005 as compared to only six weeks during the same period the prior year. In addition, we incurred non-cash consulting expenses for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2005 in the amount of $105,000 and $190,000 attributable to the issuance of 3,000,000 stock options granted to consultants for services and 280,000 options granted to our Directors valued by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company also incurred additional costs of $125,000 and $220,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the purchase of Small World Toys and the Neurosmith product line as opposed to the previous year.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense increased $560,000 or 481.6% and $1,125,000 or 681.8% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase is due principally to the $9,770,000 aggregated notes payable and our revolving credit line which had an average outstanding balance in 2005 of $9,810,000 as compared to the average outstanding balance in the same period of 2004 of $5,682,000. However, of the total interest expense incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2005, $455,000 was a non-cash expense attributable to the amortization of debt discounts.
Due to fluctuations in our stock price we experienced a $225,000 decrease in the fair market value (FMV) of the warrant liability in the second quarter of this year but due to the increase experienced in the first quarter, the cumulative six month effect was an increase of $270,000. The change in FMV of the warrant liability is a non-cash charge determined by the difference in FMV from period to period. We calculate FMV of the warrants outstanding using the Black-Scholes mathematical model.
19
Provision for Income Tax
Small World Kids recorded no provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to the cumulative year-to-date net loss incurred. Small World Toys, the predecessor company was a Subchapter S corporation and as such had no income tax exposure.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash has historically been generated from operations. Operations and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from operations, as well as utilizing, when needed, borrowings under our secured credit facilities. Working capital needs generally reach peak levels from August through November of each year. To gain shelf space and address the seasonality of the toy industry, we offer early buy programs that are volume related with extended payment terms. Our historical revenue pattern is one in which the second half of the year is more significant to our overall business than the first half and, within the second half of the year, the fourth quarter is the most prominent. The trend of retailers over the past few years has been to make a higher percentage of their purchases of toy and game products within or close to the fourth quarter holiday consumer buying season, which includes Christmas. We expect that this trend will continue. As such, historically, the majority of cash collections for Small World Toys occur late in the fourth quarter as the extended payment terms become due from our early buy programs. As receivables are collected, the proceeds are used to repay borrowings under our Credit Agreement.
Small World Toys maintains a revolving credit facility with PNC Bank (“PNC) with a maximum asset based borrowing limit of $16,500,000 including a seasonal advance of $1,500,000. Interest is payable monthly at PNC’s prime rate plus 0.50. On January 14, 2005, the Company amended the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) from January 14, 2005 through and including March 14, 2005 to increase the concentration limit for receivables with standard terms owing from the Company’s largest customer from 10% to 25%. On May 12, 2005 the Company again amended its Credit Agreement to adjust its borrowing limit based on a percentage of eligible Receivables as follows: (i) from 80% to 90% until December 14, 2005; (ii) from 90% to 85% for the period December 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005. On January 1, 2006 the eligibility percentages will then revert to the original Credit Agreement terms until expiration. Additionally, the amended Credit Agreement stipulates repayment of any borrowings under the Seasonal Advance shall be repaid from in-full on June 15, 2005 in increments of $500,000 on November 30, 2005, December 15, 2005 and December 31, 2005. The Company’s obligation under the Credit Facility is collateralized by a security interest in the assets of Small World Toys, a guaranty by Small World Kids which is secured by certain shares of Small World Toys and a limited guaranty of Debra Fine, the Chief Executive Officer and President of Small World Kids and Small World Toys. As of June 30, 2005, we owed approximately $11.4 million and had $835,000 of availability on our credit facility which includes the seasonal advance.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants including a fixed charge financial covenant. As of June 30, 2005, we were in default under the terms of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Net Worth and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants. The lender has waived our non-compliance with these covenants for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. The company expects to be in compliance by September 30, 2005 and the remainder of the year.
We believe that the funds available to us, including cash expected to be generated from operations and funds available through the committed lines of credit including short term borrowings, are adequate to meet our operating needs for 2005. However, unforeseen circumstances, such as softness in the retail environment or unanticipated changes in consumer preferences could result in a significant decline in revenues and operating results, which could result in non-compliance with debt covenants under the Credit Agreement. Non-compliance with the debt covenants could result in our being unable to utilize borrowings under our revolving credit facility, a circumstance that would not allow us to fund our operating shortfalls, or accelerate the repayment of the credit facility. Additionally, we believe we will need additional financing to fund our acquisition strategy, the amount of which will depend on the price and structure of potential acquisitions.
On June 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $420,000 which compares to $1,785,000 at December 31, 2004.
In the six months ended June 30, 2005, we used cash for operating activities of approximately $5,325,000 as compared to $4,645,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Inclusive of this increase were the following:
20
(i.) an increase in accounts receivable of $2,240,000; (ii.) an increase in inventory of $3,320,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005 driven by the earlier ordering of inventory to protect us from energy and labor shortages that may be experienced by our manufacturing sources in Asia; and (iii.) an increase in accounts payable of $2,055,000 related to the increase in inventory, over the same period the prior year
Since we outsource the manufacturing of our products to Asia, we have historically low requirements for additions to property and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we spent approximately $175,000 in additions to capital equipment as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004, where we expended $135,000 for additions to property and equipment.
In the second quarter of, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Imagiix LP for $150,000 in cash (excluding transaction expenses) and 500,000 shares of restricted stock. Of the $150,000 cash purchase component, $100,000 was paid upon closing with $50,000 due on December 15, 2005.
The Company completed the following transactions to receive additional funds for working capital:
• On July 20, 2005 the Company amended the Note Purchase Agreement between itself and St. Cloud Capital Partners LP (“St. Cloud”) pursuant to which St. Cloud agreed to advance to the Company an additional $500,000. The advance was made August 4, 2005. In consideration for the advance, the Company agreed to issue to St. Cloud an aggregate of 162,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants for the right to acquire an additional 87,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest of (a) $0.40 per share, or (b) the per share price (or conversion price if a derivative security) of the next financing of the Company with gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000.
• On August 11, 2005, the Company completed the issuance of an aggregate of $500,000 in Notes to various investors which included Debra Fine, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer who advanced $175,000. The Notes will mature one year from the date of execution with interest payable monthly at 10% per annum. In consideration for the loans, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 162,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 87,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest of (a) $0.40 per share or; (b) the per share price (or conversion price if a derivative security) of the next financing of the Company with gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000.
On August 11, 2005 the Company converted the $5,000,000 Bridge Note dated May 2004 issued to SWT, LLC, a related party, to Convertible Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.40. In addition, the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase 2,040,816 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.49 per share.
In addition, in 2004, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Put Agreements”) with each of Wire Mill Partners III LLC, LLC and Pewter Hill Partners LLC (“Purchasers”) that obligated each of them to purchase, upon our election, up to 10,100,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.3 million (representing a total commitment of $12.6 million). In August 2005 the Company converted the outstanding $5,000,000 Bridge Note issued to SWT, LLC to Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $.40. By agreeing to convert the Preferred Shares to Common at a price less than the highest exercise price stipulated by the Put Agreements, the Put Agreements automatically terminated August 11, 2005.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of the purchase for SWT Shares on May 20, 2004, we entered into a contingent earnout with the former shareholder of Small World Toys. We agreed to a two year promissory note, payable in quarterly installments commencing April 2005 with a minimum payment of $700,000 and a maximum payment of $1,500,000, if certain sales targets are achieved in 2005 and 2006.
We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Regulation S-K that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expense or liquidity. Information regarding our long-term debt payments, operating lease payments and other commitments is provided in Item 6 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. There have been no material changes in contractual obligations since December 31, 2004.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. We have identified the following as items that require significant judgment and often involve complex estimation: revenue recognition and sales allowances, inventory valuation and long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets).
Revenue Recognition and Sales Allowances
We recognize revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or the service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon when all of the foregoing conditions are met which in general is at the time of shipment where the risk of loss and title has passed to the customer. However, certain shipments such as direct shipments from our vendors to the customer or shipments through a consolidator (usually export shipments), may be recognized at FOB destination, depending on sales terms.
Sales allowances for customer promotions, discounts and returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue when the related revenue is recognized. We routinely commit to promotional sales allowance programs with customers. These allowances primarily relate to fixed programs, which the customer earns based on purchases of our products during the year. Discounts are recorded as a reduction of related revenue at the time of sale. Sales to customers are generally not subject to any price protection or return rights.
Inventory Valuation
Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market. Inventory costs consist of the purchases of finished goods from our vendors and the associated costs necessary to obtain those inventories. As necessary, we write down our inventory to its estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Failure to accurately predict and respond to consumer demand could result in the under production of popular items or overproduction of less popular items which may require additional inventory write-downs which could materially affect our future results of operations.
Long-lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances or our planned use of assets indicate that their carrying amounts may not be fully recoverable or that their useful lives are no longer appropriate. Reviews are performed to determine whether the carrying values of assets are impaired based on comparison to either the discounted expected future cash flows (in the case of goodwill and intangible assets) or to the undiscounted expected future cash flows (for all other long-lived assets). If the comparison indicates that impairment exists, the impaired asset is written down to its fair value. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in the preparation of expected discounted and undiscounted cash flows.
The total purchase price of our acquisitions are allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with the provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, we estimated the fair value of the assets acquired for purpose of allocating the purchase price. Intangible assets are being amortized over their useful lives with the customer list and trade names to be amortized over 10 years, technologies to be amortized over 5 years and non-compete agreement to be amortized over the length of the agreement.
At June 30, 2005, we had a net amount of $5,607,805 of goodwill and purchased intangible assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As no impairment indicators were present during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we believe this value remains recoverable based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the associated products and technologies.
22
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB 25 to stock compensation awards issued to employees. Rather, the new standard requires enterprises to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of original SFAS 123 on stock compensation awards (rather than applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB 25) are in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 1). Although the pro forma effects of applying original SFAS 123 may be indicative of the effects of adopting SFAS 123R, the provisions of these two statements differ in some important respects. The actual effects of adopting SFAS 123R will be dependent on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the valuation model chosen by the Company to value stock-based awards; the assumed award forfeiture rate; the accounting policies adopted concerning the method of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period; and the transition method chosen for adopting SFAS 123R. Adoption of this accounting standard will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This statement will be effective for the Company’s first quarter ending January 31, 2006.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs”, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement is the result of a broader effort by the FASB working with the International Accounting Standards Board to reduce differences between U.S. and international accounting standards. SFAS No. 151 eliminates the “so abnormal” criterion in ARB No. 43 and companies will no longer be permitted to capitalize inventory costs on their balance sheets when the production defect rate varies significantly from the expected rate. It also makes clear that fixed overhead should be allocated based on “normal capacity.” SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2006 but does not believe that it will have a material effect on the results of operations or consolidated financial position.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS No. 154”). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in an accounting principle and to any changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires that all voluntary changes in accounting principles are retrospectively applied to prior financial statements as if that principle had always been used, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard, beginning in fiscal year 2006, is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.
RISK FACTORS
We are subject to changing consumer preferences.
Our business and operating results depend largely upon the appeal of our products. Our continued success in the toy industry will depend on our ability to redesign, restyle and extend our existing core products and product lines as consumer preferences evolve, and to develop, introduce and gain customer acceptance of new products and product lines. Several trends in recent years have presented challenges for the toy industry, including:
• a slow economic recovery;
• the phenomenon of children outgrowing toys at younger ages, particularly in favor of interactive and high technology products;
• increasing use of technology;
• our customers going out of business;
• bad debts (uncollectible receivables);
23
• rising costs of raw materials;
• competition; and
• higher consumer expectations for product quality, functionality and value.
• We cannot assure you that:
• our current products will continue to be popular with consumers;
• the product lines or products that we introduce will achieve any significant degree of market acceptance;
• we will be able to expand into new channels; or
• the life cycles of our products will be sufficient to permit us to recover design, manufacturing, marketing and other costs associated with those products.
The toy industry is highly competitive.
The toy industry is highly competitive. Some of our competitors have financial and strategic advantages over us, including:
• greater financial resources;
• larger sales, marketing and product development departments;
• stronger name recognition;
• longer operating histories; and
• greater economies of scale.
In addition, the toy industry has no significant barriers to entry. Competition is based primarily on the ability to design and develop new toys, to sell the products into retail and sell through to consumers through successful marketing. Many of our competitors offer similar products or alternatives to our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate shelf space in retail stores to support our existing products or to expand our products and product lines or that we will be able to continue to compete effectively against current and future competitors.
The toy industry is subject to high rates of seasonality.
Our business and the toy industry in general experience the lowest sales rates in the first quarter and second quarters of the calendar year. In 2004, approximately 60% of our net sales were made in the third and fourth quarters. Seasonality factors may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, our results of operations may also fluctuate as a result of the timing of new product releases.
We need to be able to acquire and integrate companies and new product lines successfully.
Our growth strategy depends in part upon our ability to acquire companies and new product lines. Future acquisitions will succeed only if we can effectively assess characteristics of potential target companies and product lines, such as:
• salability of products;
• suitability of distribution channels;
• management ability;
• financial condition and results of operations; and
• the degree to which acquired operations can be integrated with our operations.
We cannot assure you that we can identify strategic acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable acquisition terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to sustain growth. Our acquisition strategy involves a number of risks, each of which could adversely affect our operating results, including:
• difficulties in integrating acquired businesses or product lines, assimilating new facilities and personnel and harmonizing diverse business strategies and methods of operation;
• diversion of management attention from operation of our existing business;
• loss of key personnel from acquired companies; and
24
• failure of an acquired business to achieve targeted financial results.
A substantial reduction in or termination of orders from any of our largest customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our two largest customers accounted for 25.3% and 17.3% of our net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Except for outstanding purchase orders for specific products, we do not have written contracts with or commitments from any of our customers. A substantial reduction in or termination of orders from any of our largest customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, pressure by large customers seeking price reductions, financial incentives, changes in other terms of sale or for us to bear the risks and the cost of carrying inventory also could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If one or more of our major customers were to experience difficulties in fulfilling their obligations to us, cease doing business with us, significantly reduce the amount of their purchases from us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the bankruptcy or other lack of success of one or more of our significant retailers could negatively impact our revenues and bad debt expense.
We depend on third-party manufacturers who develop, provide and use the tools and dies that we own to manufacture our products and we have limited control over the manufacturing processes.
Any difficulties encountered by the third-party manufacturers that result in product defects, production delays, cost overruns or the inability to fulfill orders on a timely basis could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We do not have long-term contracts with our third-party manufacturers.
Although we believe we could secure other third-party manufacturers to produce our products, our operations would be adversely affected if we lost our relationship with any of our current suppliers or if our current suppliers’ operations or sea or air transportation with our overseas manufacturers were disrupted or terminated even for a relatively short period of time. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the top ten vendors accounted for 58% of the total product purchases. The top two of these vendors accounted for 10% and 8% of total purchases, respectively. Our tools and dies are located at the facilities of our third-party manufacturers. Although we do not purchase the raw materials used to manufacture our products, we are potentially subject to variations in the prices we pay our third-party manufacturers for products, depending on what they pay for their raw materials.
We have manufacturing operations outside of the United States, subjecting us to risks associated with international operations.
We utilize third-party manufacturers located principally in The People’s Republic of China, or the PRC. Our PRC sales and manufacturing operations are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations, including:
• currency conversion risks and currency fluctuations;
• limitations, including taxes, on the repatriation of earnings;
• political instability, civil unrest and economic instability;
• complications in complying with laws in varying jurisdictions and changes in governmental policies;
• greater difficulty and expenses associated with recovering from natural disasters;
• rising cost of raw material;
• rising cost of gas;
• testing;
• black outs due to energy shortages;
• transportation delays, interruptions and strikes; and
The potential imposition of tariffs.
Our reliance on external sources of manufacturing can be shifted, over a period of time, to alternative sources of supply, should such changes be necessary. However, if we were prevented from obtaining our products due to medical, political, labor or other factors beyond our control, our operations would be disrupted while alternative sources of products were secured. Also, the imposition of trade sanctions by the United States against a class of
25
products imported by us from, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status by China, could significantly increase our cost of products imported from that nation.
Our business is subject to government regulation and to potential product liability claims.
Our products sold in the United States are subject to various laws, including the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the Flammable Fabrics Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under these acts. These statutes are administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”), which has the authority to remove from the market products that are found to be defective and present a substantial hazard or risk of serious injury or death. The CPSC can require a manufacturer to recall, repair or replace these products under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that defects in our products will not be alleged or found. Any such allegations or findings could result in:
• product liability claims;
• loss of sales;
• diversion of resources;
• damage to our reputation;
• increased warranty costs; and
• removal of our products from the market.
Any of these results may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our product liability insurance will be sufficient to avoid or limit our loss in the event of an adverse outcome of any product liability claim.
Other risks include:
• the ability to obtain external financing on terms acceptable to us in order to meet working capital needs;
• the ability to generate sufficient available cash flow to service our outstanding debt;
• restrictions that we are subject to under our credit agreement;
• unforeseen circumstances, such as severe softness in or collapse of the retail environment that may result in a significant decline in revenues and operating results, thereby causing us to be in non-compliance with our debt covenants and thereby being unable to utilize borrowings under its revolving credit facility, a circumstance likely to occur when operating shortfalls would result in our being in the greatest need of such supplementary borrowings;
• the risk that reported goodwill may become impaired, requiring us to take a charge against our income;
• other risks and uncertainties as are or may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s public announcements and filings with the SEC, such as filings on Forms 8-K, 10-Q, 10-QSB and 10-KSB.
The Company undertakes no obligation to revise the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of the filing of this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk Disclosures
At June 30, 2005, we had total debt commitments of approximately $21.2 million, and a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have a material impact on our borrowing costs. We do not hedge any interest rate exposures.
We purchase and manufacture our products and conduct sales in various global markets. Our sales are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, our earnings and cash flows related to purchasing are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hedge out foreign currency rate exposures.
We do not anticipate any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows resulting from these exposures.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As a result of the May 20, 2004 transactions, the internal control structure in place for Small World Toys, Inc. has succeeded to Small World Kids, Inc. Since the acquisition of Small World Toys, our system of internal controls has evolved consistent with the development of our company.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: As of June 30, 2005, the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive and our chief financial officer reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15(e)), which are designed to ensure that material information we must disclose in our report filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, and have concluded, based on that evaluation, that as of such date, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting: In the second quarter of 2005 the Company implemented several policies which in the opinion of management significantly improve the operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls. There have been no other changes in our internal control structure over that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
