PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information regarding our company, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed under “risk factors,” and our financial statements and the accompanying notes.
Company Overview
We were organized on July 28, 2001 under the name SavOn Team Sports, Inc. in the State of Utah to sell sporting goods over the Internet. On May 20, 2004, we acquired Fine Ventures, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and Small World Toys, a California corporation. As a result of these acquisitions, we had a change of our management, our controlling shareholders, our financial position and our business plan. We are now a holding company and have no significant business operations or assets other than our interest in Small World Toys. Since the acquisition of Small World Toys, we have been engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of educational and developmental toys. To more accurately reflect our operations after the acquisition, we changed our name from SavOn Team Sports, Inc. to Small World Kids, Inc. We also changed our place of incorporation from Utah to Nevada.
Small World Toys has been distributing toys for over 40 years. Our Small World Toys’ proprietary product lines features toys for children ages zero to ten with a focus on promoting early learning, education, discovery and imagination. Small World Toys develops, manufactures, markets and distributes toys to promote healthy minds and bodies in infant, pre-school, early learning, imaginative play and active play categories. We distribute products in specialty, mass, chain, education, catalog, online and international channels through sales representative firms as well as in-house sales executives. Proprietary brands include IQ Baby®, Ryan's Room®, Gertie Ball®, Small World Living™, Puzzibilities®, All About Baby®, Neurosmith® and Imagiix™. We also exclusively distribute product for several brands such as TOLO® to the toy market in the United States through our “SW Express" distribution arm. Small World Toys has licenses for certain of the works of Eric Carle, including “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” “Clifford the Big Red Dog” from Scholastic Entertainment for our Gertie Ball line of products, the works of Karen Katz, including “Where is my Belly Button,” and the characters from the works of Dr. Seuss.
We offer over 800 toy products for the baby to approximately 7 years old including blocks, balls, sorters, regular and bilingual puzzles, doll houses and castles with accessories, wooden appliances with bakery, utensil and realistic food replication, dolls and outdoor sports equipment and accessories.
The following selected consolidated financial data is derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005.
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 | | Year Ended December 31, 2005 | |

Our independent auditors, Stonefield Josephson, Inc., have included an explanatory paragraph on our financial statements in their report dated March 31, 2006 expressing doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as the Company’s continuation is dependent upon its ability to increase revenues, receive additional financing from outside sources and return to profitable operations.
We are registering shares of Common Stock and shares of common stock underlying common stock purchase warrants, convertible preferred stock and a convertible note as follows:
Common Stock
Initial Investors
We are registering 5,084,375 shares of common stock that were issued as consideration for the acquisition of Fine Ventures, LLC on May 20, 2004. The shares were issued to Russell Fine and Debra Fine, as trustees of the Fine Family Trust, SWT Investments LLC, a California limited liability company, Phoenix Capital Opportunity Fund, LP, a Florida limited partnership, David Marshall, Inc., a California corporation and David L. Ficksman and Maxine B. Ficksman, as trustees of the Ficksman Family Trust (in aggregate the “Initial Investors”).

St. Cloud Capital Partners
We are registering 81,250 shares of common stock on behalf of St. Cloud Capital Partners L.P. (“St. Cloud”). 65,000 shares were issued to St. Cloud in connection with the financing provided by St. Cloud on September 15, 2004 when we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with St. Cloud pursuant to which we issued to St. Cloud a 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000. On July 20, 2005 the Company amended the Agreement pursuant to which St. Cloud agreed to advance to the Company an additional $500,000 for an aggregate loan of $2.5 million at an interest rate of 10% per annum. In consideration for the advance, the Company issued to St. Cloud an additional 16,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

We are registering 2,160,512 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to Bushido Capital Master Fund LP, Gamma Opportunity Capital Partners LP Class A and Gamma Opportunity Capital Partners LP Class A (collectively, the “Institutional Investors”). On September 30, 2005 we issued $1,500,000 in principal amount of 10% Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) to the Institutional Investors. In connection with this initial issuance of the Debentures, we issued five-year warrants to purchase up to 281,250 shares of common stock (the “Institutional Warrants”). Of the warrants, 93,750 have an exercise price of $7.50 per share and 187,500 have an exercise price of $6.00 per share. Due to the anti-dilution provision in the warrant agreement and the sale of $2.5 million of Class A-1 Convertible Preferred shares on June 9, 2006 at $1.10 per share, 1,380,688 additional Warrants have been issued and all the Warrants’ exercise price changed to $1.10 per share. As a condition of the Registration Rights Agreement executed on September 30, 2005 with the Institutional Investors, we are required to register one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Based upon the foregoing, we are registering 2,160,512 shares issuable upon exercise of the Institutional Warrants.

St. Cloud Capital Partners
We are registering 118,750 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the four-year warrants issued to St. Cloud in connection with the financing provided by St. Cloud. Initially, 35,000 warrants were issued in connection with the financing provided by St. Cloud on September 15, 2004 when we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with St. Cloud pursuant to which we issued to St. Cloud a 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to $5.00 per share. On July 20, 2005 we amended the Agreement pursuant to which St. Cloud agreed to advance to the Company an additional $500,000 for an aggregate loan of $2.5 million at an interest rate of 10% per annum and in consideration for the advance, we issued to St. Cloud an additional 8,750 warrants at an exercise price of $4.00. The amendment also repriced the exercise price of the initial 35,000 warrants to $4.00. On November 11, 2005, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Agreement with St. Cloud pursuant to which we issued to St. Cloud a new promissory note (the “Replacement Note”) replacing the existing note to St. Cloud in the principal amount of $2,500,000 (the “Loan Amount”). Under the Replacement Note, the maturity date of the Loan Amount was extended to September 15, 2006. In consideration of the agreement of St. Cloud to accept the Replacement Note, the Company issued to St. Cloud two warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common stock as follows: a First Warrant for 50,000 shares at $6.00 per share and a Second Warrant for 25,000 shares at $7.50 per share.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Registration Statement contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements regarding our financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, and assumptions and predictions about future product demand, supply, manufacturing, costs, marketing and pricing factors are all forward-looking statements. These statements are generally accompanied by words such as “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “potential(ly),” “continue,” “forecast,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. We believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, based on information available to us on the date hereof, but we cannot assure you that these assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct or that we will take any action that we may presently be planning. However, these forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results or experience may differ materially from those expected or anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, regulatory policies, competition from other similar businesses, and market and general policies, competition from other similar businesses, and market and general economic factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we project. Any forward-looking statement you read in this prospectus reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy, and liquidity. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or individuals acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this prospectus, which would cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results.
RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors together with the other information presented in this prospectus, including the financial statements and the notes thereto, before investing in our common stock. The trading price of common stock could decline due to any of the following risks, and you might lose all or part of your investment.
We have limited cash available for operations. We may not have sufficient liquidity to continue to meet our debt obligations.
As of June 30, 2006, we had approximately $465,000 of unrestricted cash and availability on our line of credit.
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 the Company’s secured credit facilities and short term notes. 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 the Revolving Note issued to Laurus Master Fund.
We have incurred significant losses since our purchase of Small World Toys in May 2004. As of June 30, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $19.5 million. In the June 9, 2006 transaction, we received approximately $2.7 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share, converted $3.0 million of debt due in 2006 and 2008 to Class A-1 Preferred Stock, and restructured a $2.5 million note due in 2006 to $250,000 due within 12 months and the balance to begin principal amortization in October 2008. As of June 30, 2006, we had $971,000 in principal payments due during the balance of 2006 to Laurus, Horizon, St. Cloud and the former shareholder of Small World Toys. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our debt and operational obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we would be required to seek additional financing or restructure our debt obligations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations or that, if we were to be successful in obtaining additional financing or restructure our debt obligations, it would be on favorable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations may cause us to default on these debt obligations. In addition, under cross default provisions in the Laurus Security Agreement, defaults under our debt obligations may cause the acceleration of the repayment of the Revolving and Term Notes.
We have a history of net losses.
We have incurred significant losses since our purchase of Small World Toys in May 2004. As of June 30, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $19.5 million. These losses principally resulted from the cost of being public, research and development, general and administrative, sales and marketing expenses and significant interest expense associated with our capital structure. We may continue to experience net losses in the future.
We have cross default provisions in our senior credit facility which may result in the acceleration the obligations due under the credit agreement
Under cross default provisions in the Laurus Security Agreement, defaults under our debt obligations may cause the acceleration of the repayment of the Revolving and Term Notes. Under these provisions, a default or acceleration in one of debt agreement may result in the default and acceleration of our debt agreements with Laurus (regardless of whether we were in compliance with the terms of the Laurus Security Agreement), providing Laurus with the right to accelerate the obligations due under their debt agreement.
Our business and operating results 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.
Our business and operating results depend largely upon the appeal of our products and 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:
| · | the phenomenon of children outgrowing toys at younger ages, particularly in favor of interactive and high technology products; |
| · | increasing use of technology; 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. |
Uncertainty and adverse changes in the general economic conditions of markets in which we participate may negatively affect our business.
Current and future conditions in the economy have an inherent degree of uncertainty. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth or contraction for the economy as a whole. It is even more difficult to estimate growth or contraction in various parts, sectors and regions of the economy. These changes may negatively affect the sales of our products, increase exposure to losses from bad debts, or increase costs associated with manufacturing and distributing 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 2005 and 2004, approximately 60% of 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.
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:
| · | suitability of distribution channels; |
| · | 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 a 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 results, including:
| · | difficulties in integrating acquired businesses or product lines |
| · | assimilating new facilities and personnel |
| · | harmonizing diverse business strategies and methods of operation; |
| · | diversion of management attention from operation of the existing business; |
| · | loss of key personnel from acquired companies; and |
| · | 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 financial condition and results of operations.
Our three largest customers, TJX Companies, COSTCO and Ross Stores, Inc. collectively represented 27.3% and 21.7 % of 2005 and 2004 sales, respectively. No other customer represents greater than 5% of our sales in 2005 or 2004. 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 affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Liquidity problems or bankruptcy of our key customers could increase our exposure to losses from bad debts and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is a risk that customers will not pay, or that payment may be delayed, because of bankruptcy or other factors beyond our control, which could increase our exposure to losses from bad debts. In addition, if these or other customers were to cease doing business as a result of bankruptcy, or significantly reduce the number of stores operated, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the bankruptcy or financial difficulty 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.
All of our products are manufactured by third-party manufacturers and any difficulties encountered by these 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 and our operations would be impaired if we lost our current suppliers.
Our operation would be impaired if we lost 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, 2005, our top ten suppliers accounted for 65% of the total product purchases. The top two suppliers accounted for 11% and 9% of total purchases, respectively. Our tools and dies are located at the facilities of our third-party manufacturers. We are potentially subject to variations in the prices we pay third-party manufacturers for products, depending on what they pay for their raw materials since we do not have long-term contracts.
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 and the Far East. Our third-party manufacturing operations are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations, including:
| · | currency conversion risks and currency fluctuations; |
| · | civil unrest and economic instability; |
| · | complications in complying with laws in varying jurisdictions and changes in governmental policies; |
| · | rising cost of raw material; |
| · | blackouts due to energy shortages; |
| · | transportation delays, interruptions and strikes; and |
| · | the potential imposition of tariffs. |
If we were prevented from obtaining our products due to medical, political, labor or other factors, 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 products imported by us from, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status by China, could significantly increase our cost of products imported from the PRC.
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. Any such allegations or findings could result in:
| · | product liability claims; |
| · | damage to our reputation; |
| · | increased warranty costs; and |
| · | removal of our products from the market. |
We could be the subject of future product liability suits, which could harm our business.
Products that have been or may be developed by us may expose us to potential liability from personal injury or property damage claims by the users of such products. There can be no assurance that a claim will not be brought against us in the future. While we currently maintain product liability insurance coverage in amounts we believe sufficient for our business risks, we may not be able to maintain such coverage or such coverage may not be adequate to cover all potential claims. Moreover, even if we maintain sufficient insurance coverage, any successful claim could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a material amount of goodwill which, if it becomes impaired, would result in a charge against our income
Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of an acquisition accounted for using the purchase method exceeds the fair value of the net assets we acquire. Current accounting standards require that goodwill be periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of the operations acquired. As of June 30, 2006, approximately $2,477,000 or 10.9%, of our total assets represented goodwill. Reductions in our net income (loss) caused by the write-down of goodwill could harm our results of operations.
The registration of the shares underlying the warrants, convertible preferred Class A-1 Stock and convertible debenture may cause significant dilution to our stockholders upon the exercise or conversion of these securities and may have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.
As of the date of this prospectus, there are 5,410,575 shares of our common stock outstanding. Being registered in this prospectus are 14,593,380 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon exercise or conversion of the following securities: (i) 3,899,995 warrants; (ii) 10,130,885 Class A-1 Convertible Preferred shares; and (iii) the conversion of the convertible debenture into 562,500 shares. The exercise or conversion of these securities will increase the number of our publicly traded shares, which could depress the market price of our common stock.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which would contribute to a downward movement in the stock price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock.
Because of the limited trading and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so.
The trading price of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future.
Because of the limited trading market for our common stock, and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so. The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our common stock may suffer greater declines because of its price volatility.
Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:
| · | announcement by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| · | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
| · | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| · | inability to complete or integrate an acquisition; |
| · | additions or departures of key personnel; and |
| · | fluctuations in stock market price and volume. |
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies’ common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by any selling stockholder of shares in this offering, however we will receive proceeds upon the exercise of certain of the outstanding warrants that do not have a cashless exercise option. Based on the closing price of our stock on October 2, 2006 of $1.95, the maximum proceeds to the Company from the exercise of all the warrants “in the money” that do not have a cashless exercise price are the 1,661,939 Bushido and Gamma warrants at $1.10 or $1,828,000. We will use the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Holders
As of October 2, 2006, we have 5,410,575 shares of our common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2005, our shares of common stock are held by approximately 60 stockholders of record. This does not include an indeterminate number of beneficial owners of securities whose shares are held in the names of various dealers and clearing agencies.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock.
On June 9, 2006, we issued Class A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of the outstanding Class A-1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefore, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 6% per annum payable quarterly in shares of the Company’s Class A-1 Preferred Stock at a per share price of $1.10. In addition, in conjunction with the issuance of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock on June 9, 2006, a non-cash dividend of approximately $2.6 million was recorded at the time of issuance in relation to the warrants and the in-the-money conversion feature that allows for the conversion at a price lower than fair market value on the day of issuance. In addition, the repriced and additional warrants issued to the $1.5 million Convertible Debenture holders was determined to have a fair market value of approximately $1.2 million and since the warrants have no mandatory registration rights, the value of the warrants is also deemed a non-cash dividend.
The 10% Convertible Preferred Stock that we issued in August 2005 converted into the Class A-1 Convertible Preferred in June 2006 along with all accrued but unpaid dividends. Through June 9, 2006, when we converted such stock to the Class A-1 Preferred Stock, we had not paid any dividends on the 10% Convertible Preferred in either cash or stock, but had accrued $399,000 in dividends which was converted into 362,703 Class A-1 shares.
In addition, in conjunction with the issuance of the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock in August 2005, a non-cash dividend of approximately $2.2 million was recorded at the time of issuance in relation to an in-the-money conversion feature that allows for the conversion at a price lower than fair market value on the day of issuance.
Our future dividend policy will be determined by our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, our cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws and our credit arrangements then impose.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In the June 9, 2006 transaction, we received approximately $2.7 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share. As a condition of this transaction, we converted an aggregate of $3 million of debt (plus a portion accrued interest) into 2,763,636 shares of the Class A-1 Convertible Preferred as follows: (i) the 24% Notes Due 2006 in principal amount of $1,000,000 with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union, PCCW Credit Union and HIT Credit Union; (ii) the $1.5 million in principal amount of the 10% Convertible Debentures due in 2008 along with accrued but unpaid interest and penalties; and (iii) the 10% Note Due 2006 - Related Party in principal amount of $500,000 in notes to various investors which included Debra Fine, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer who provided $175,000 of the total borrowing. We also converted the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock we issued to SWT, LLC on August 11, 2005, when we converted a $5,000,000 Bridge Note dated May 2004 held by SWT, LLC., along with accrued but unpaid dividends, into 4,908,157 shares of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock.
Also as a condition of this sale, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement (“Amendment”) dated as of June 9, 2006 with St. Cloud Capital Partners L.P. (“St. Cloud”) where the Company prepaid $50,000 of the existing $2,500,000 note and issued to St. Cloud Note two new notes to replace the exiting note. The first note in the principal amount of $200,000 is for twelve months with monthly amortization payments at a 10% interest rate. The second note is for $2,250,000 with interest at 10% per annum, interest only payable on June 30, 2006 and September 15, 2006. Commencing September 16, 2006, payments will be interest only each month through September 15, 2008, and commencing October 15, 2008, monthly amortization payments (based on a five-year amortization) with all interest plus unpaid principal due on September 15, 2011. The second note will be convertible into shares of the common stock of the Company at $4.00 per share.
On July 26, 2006, Laurus authorized a $750,000 overadvance (amount in excess of the maximum allowed borrowings based on a formula amount of the secured assets) on the Revolving Note based on the following terms:
| 1. | All funds from the overadvance will be used strictly to fulfill the open orders and current backlog. |
| 2. | An agreement will be reached within 10 business days to ensure that no principal reductions take place on subordinated debt while the overadvance is outstanding. |
| 3. | Within 20 business days, Laurus will be provided financial projections, updated detail on backlog and open orders and an analysis of the uses of the first $750,000. |
| 4. | The company will need to raise new capital of no less than $500,000, excluding amounts already committed to on July 26, 2006. |
Laurus has agreed to incrase the overadvance by an additional $750,000 upon the Company receiving an additional $500,000 in new equity or subordinated debt.
No agreement has been finalized as of October 2, 2006 with the subordinated lenders relating to the suspension of principal payments while the overadvance is outstanding. During the period that the overadvance is outstanding, the interest rate will equal two percent (2%) per month of the amount of the overadvance.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Financial Data” and our accompanying Condensed Consolidated and Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in this prospectus. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates were based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies.” Certain statements made in this report may contain forward-looking statements. For a description of risks and uncertainties relating to such forward-looking statements, see the cautionary statements.
Overview
Small World Kids was organized on July 28, 2001 in the state of Utah under the name Savon Team Sports, Inc. (“SavOn”) to sell sporting goods over the Internet. The business operations generated limited revenues and operated at a loss since inception. On August 1, 2004, as a result of the May 20, 2004 transactions discussed below, we changed our name from SavOn Team Sports, Inc. to Small World Kids, Inc. We also changed our domicile from Utah to Nevada.
May 20, 2004 Transactions
Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated as of May 20, 2004, by and among the Company and a group of investors (“the Investors'), we issued 4,531,375 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, in exchange for all of the equity interests of Fine Ventures, LLC (“FVL”). Prior to May 20, 2004, FVL had no operating activities. As a condition to the closing of this transaction, Michael Rubin, the then-majority shareholder of the Company, sold 553,000 shares of his 618,000 shares of Small World Kids common stock for $10,000 to the Investors.
Simultaneously, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 20, 2004, 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 consideration for the SWT Shares, Small World Kids paid an aggregate sum of $7,200,000, delivered as follows; (i) $5,000,000 in cash; and (ii) $2,200,000 in the form of a $500,000 six month promissory note, a $1,000,000 seven month promissory note, and a $700,000 two year promissory note payable in quarterly installments commencing April 2005.
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. Since Small World Kids, our accounting successor, had no significant business operations or assets prior to the May 20, 2004 transactions described above, presenting comparative periods would not be meaningful. As such, the results of operations presented below for the predecessor are those of Small World Toys.
On October 14, 2005 we completed a ten for one (10:1) reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”), with rounding all fractional shares down to the next full share. After the Reverse Split, there are approximately 5,400,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The Reverse Split did not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock, alter the par value or modify any voting rights or other terms thereof. As a result of the Reverse Split, the conversion price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of any outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock was proportionally adjusted pursuant to the respective terms thereof. All references in this prospectus to units of securities (e.g. Common Stock shares) or per share amounts are reflective of the Reverse Split for all periods reported.

(1) Reflects the financial position and results of operations for the predecessor entity, Small World Toys from January 1, 2004 through May 20, 2004 and the successor entity, Small World Kids, Inc. from May 21, 2004 through December 31, 2004.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Net sales
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $1,407,000 or 10.6% from the six months ended June 30, 2005. The revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is mainly attributable to the decrease of $3,105,000 in sales to the specialty toy and national chain channels over the comparable prior year period. Part of this decline is attributed to the lack of available inventory to fill orders. While inventory has increased slightly since the beginning of the year, management is initiating improved demand order forecasting to increase the fill rate. Partially offsetting this decline was an increase in sales to mass retailers of $1,698,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 over the comparable prior year period. Except for the Neurosmith product line which was introduced in the second quarter of 2005, Eric Carle licensed products which were introduced in 2006 and All about Baby almost all other brands suffered declines over the comparable prior year period primarily due to the supply shortages. The Ryan Room product line was essentially flat for the first half of 2006 over the comparable prior year period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $1,080,000 or 19.4% from the six months ended June 30, 2005. Gross profit margin of 37.6% decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 41.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in gross margin primarily resulted from a lower mix of sales to specialty stores of 71.8% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 78.2% of net sales for the for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Sales to the specialty stores typically have higher gross margins than sales to the national chains and mass retailers, but incur freight out and warehousing expenses and have higher commissions.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $176,000 or 2.2% to $7,763,000 from $7,939,000 but as a percentage of sales increased to 65.2% from 59.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 slightly decreased $27,000 or .4% to $6,657,000 from $6,684,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Decreased selling, shipping and handling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $312,000 or 10.1% over the prior year period was driven by the lower mix of sales to specialty stores which incur shipping and handling costs. Legal and auditing expenses, driven primarily by the increased costs of being a public company and several legal suits which were settled in the second quarter of 2006 increased by $253,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the prior year period. Marketing and branding expenses decreased by $117,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the prior year period. The non-cash consulting expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 attributable to the issuance of stock options granted to consultants for services valued by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model decreased by $177,000 over the comparable period. The non-cash recognition of stock compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $176,000 resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method in January 2006. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense had been recognized in the Company’s statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, $327,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options are expected to be recognized over the following 31 months. Partially offsetting the increase in operating expenses was the decrease in research and development costs of $168,000 or 16.2% to $870,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $1,038,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company also incurred a slight increase in amortization expenses of $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $1,443,000 or 111.8% to $2,734,000 from $1,291,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the increase of $1,018,000 in non-cash interest expense resulting from the amortization of debt discounts and increased debt that occurred for the six months ended June 30, 2006 over the comparable prior year period.
As a result of the conversion of $3 million of debt into Class A-1 Preferred Stock on June 9, 2006, $1,077,000 in unamortized debt issuance costs related to the converted debt were recorded as a non-cash expense in June 2006 (Note 7). The repriced and additional warrants issued to the 10% Convertible Debenture holders on June 9, 2006 resulted in a $1,628,000 non-cash expense in June 2006 (Note 7).
The agreement with Laurus and the $1.5 million 10% Convertible Debentures noteholders obligates us to file a registration statement to register the warrant shares and the common shares underlying the conversion. Accordingly, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the cumulative relative net value of the warrant at the date of issuance of $3,663,000 was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet. Any change in fair value from the date of issuance to the date the underlying shares are registered will be included in other (expense) income. The change in fair market value (“FMV”) of the warrant liability is a non-cash charge determined by the difference in FMV from period to period. The Company calculates the FMV of the warrants outstanding using the Black-Scholes model. The decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability associated with Laurus and the 10% Convertible Debentures for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,711,000 and is a result of the decrease in the trading value of our stock. This compares to an increase of $270,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Since the $1.5 million 10% Convertible Debentures were converted on June 9, 2006 into Class A-1 Convertile Preferred shares, the company no longer has an obligation to file a registration statement to register the warrant shares and the common shares underlying the conversion of the 10% Convertible Debentures and the warrant liability associated with the 10% Convertible Debentures was reclassified as Equity. The Company has an obligation to file a registration statement with Laurus and filed the registration statement with the SEC on June 15, 2006.
Lower rent and commission income accounted for the 53,000 decrease in Other for the six months ended June 30, 2006 over the comparative period in 2005.
Provision for Income Tax
Small World Kids recorded no provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 due to the net loss incurred during these periods.
Dividends
The 10% Class A Convertible Preferred Stock requires that we accrue a quarterly dividend at a rate of 10% per annum. The dividend is payable in cash or a combination of 50% cash and 50% Common Stock at the Company’s option, but the Company has not yet declared or paid any of the accrued dividends since the conversion to Preferred Stock on August 11, 2005. On June 9, 2006, we issued Class A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock along with converting the 10% Class A Convertible Preferred Stock along with accrued but unpaid dividends of $399,000. The holders of the outstanding Class A-1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefore, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 6% per annum payable quarterly in shares of the Company’s Class A-1 Preferred Stock at a per share price of $1.10. The Company has not yet declared or paid any of the accrued dividends for the 6% Class A-1 since the issuance of these securities.
The Class A-1 Preferred Stock has a beneficial conversion feature which allows the holders to acquire Common Stock of the Company at an effective conversion price of approximately $.25 below fair value at the date of issuance. In accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, the Company has determined the intrinsic value of this in-the-money conversion feature accounted for it as a discount to the Preferred Stock. The fair market value of the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be approximately $2.5 million. As the Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, the full value of both the conversion feature are deemed a dividend upon issuance and as such have been recorded directly to retained earnings.
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004
Net sales
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $4,263,000 or 14.5 % to $33,756,000 from $29,493,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The revenue increase is mainly attributable to the expansion of the Company’s product lines including brands such as Active Edge®, Small World Living™, IQ Baby®, IQ Preschool®, Gertie Balls®, and the All about Baby products. The introduction of the Neurosmith product line in the second quarter resulted in 2005 sales of approximately $1,200,000. Sales to new 2005 mass retailers, Costco Wholesale Corporation and Target Corporation resulted in an increase of $4,200,000 in 2005. Small World Express™, the Company’s distribution arm experienced over a 45% increase for the year ended December 31, 2005 over the comparable prior year period. Somewhat offsetting these increases were decreased shipments relating to the following core brands; Puzzibilities®, Ryan’s Room® and Tolo® products and the following item classes; Imaginative Play, Tub Tints, Preschool and Vehicles.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $1,035,000 or 8.6% to $13,137,000 from $12,102,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Gross profit margin of 38.9% declined for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to 41.0% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in gross margin primarily resulted from a greater mix of sales to national chains and mass retailers of 33.7% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to 25.5% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004. Sales to national chains and mass retailers typically have lower gross margins than sales to the specialty stores, but do not incur freight out or warehousing expenses and have lower commissions. In addition, there was an increase in promotional rebates and royalties for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased approximately $3,691,000 or 27.3% and as a percentage of sales increased to 51.0% from 45.8% for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The increase in operating expenses was partly related to an increase in research and development costs of $799,000 or 68.1% incurred in the development of new products for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $2,630,000 or 21.6% to $14,793,000 from $12,163,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Increased selling, shipping and handling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $351,000 or 5.6% over the prior year was driven by the 14.5% increase in sales in 2005 over 2004. Also, legal, auditing, insurance and investor relations expenses, driven primarily by the costs of being a public company, increased by $686,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the prior year. These costs were incurred for a full year in 2005 as compared to only seven months during 2004 as we became a public entity in late May 2004. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in marketing and branding expenses by approximately $291,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the prior year as we have introduced the following new brands since the acquisition of Small World Toys in May 2004; Small World Living™, Active Edge®, Active Edge Extreme®, IQ Baby The Softer Side®, Neurosmith® and Imagiix™. The write off of $348,000 of barter credits also contributed to the increase (Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements). Due to the amendments to our Credit Facility with PNC (Note 5 of the accompanying 2005 financial statements), our bank charges increased by $269,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the prior year. In addition, the Company incurred non-cash consulting expenses for the ended December 31, 2005 in the amount of $535,000 attributable to the issuance of 300,000 stock options granted to consultants for services valued by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Only 16,000 of the options issued to the consultants were exercised, the balance expired or were terminated. The balance of the increase or $150,000 was attributable to increased travel and airfare expenses relating to the acquisition and fund raising activities in 2005 over prior year activities.
The Company also incurred additional costs of $262,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the purchase of Small World Toys, the Neurosmith product line and Imagiix as opposed to the previous year.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $2,532,000 or 256.0% to $3,521,000 from $989,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase is partly due to the increase of $1,524,000 in non-cash interest expense resulting from the amortization of debt discounts that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2005 over the prior year. The balance of the increase resulted from the increase in the outstanding balances of the Company’s notes payable and the revolving credit line (Note 5 of the accompanying 2005 financial statements). Cash interest paid for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by $999,000 over the prior fiscal year primarily due to the increased debt obligations.
The agreements with the $1.5 million 10% Convertible Debentures note holders obligated us to file a registration statement to register the warrant shares and the common shares underlying the conversion. Accordingly, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the relative net value of the warrants at the date of issuance of $1,077,000 was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet. Any change in fair value from the date of issuance to the date the underlying shares are registered will be included in other (expense) income. The change in fair market value (“FMV”) of the warrant liability is a non-cash charge determined by the difference in FMV from period to period. The Company calculates the FMV of the warrants outstanding using the Black-Scholes model. The decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability associated with the 10% Convertible Debentures from the date of issuance to December 31, 2005 was $388,000.
Also due to fluctuations in the Company’s stock price, the Company also experienced a $97,000 increase in the FMV of the warrant liability associated with the St. Cloud Capital Partners LP Bridge Notes. As a result of the July 20, 2005 amendment to the notes held by St Cloud Capital Partners LP, the FMV of the warrant liability has been reclassified to equity (Note 5 of the accompanying 2005 financial statements).
Lower commission income accounted for the $207,000 decrease in Other.
Provision for Income Tax
Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $292,000, due to the benefit realized in recognizing for losses on which a valuation allowance has not been recorded.
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2003
Net sales
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased $3,523,000 or 13.6 % to $29,493,000 from $25,970,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Revenues were positively impacted by increased shipments of products related to certain core brands, such as Ryan’s Room®, Small World Kids (product line), Tolo®, IQ Preschool®, Gertie Balls® and All About Baby® contributing a 34.4% increase over their respective sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 versus the comparable prior year period. Offsetting this increase were decreased shipments of products relating to Café Play®, IQ Baby®, Puzzibilities® and products relating to the following item classes; Arts and Crafts, Science and Nature, and Vehicles.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased $1,120,000 or 10.2% to $12,102,000 from $10,982,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Gross profit margin of 41.0% declined for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to 42.3% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in gross margin resulted from a greater mix of sales to national chains of 24.6% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 versus the 21.2% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2003. Sales to national chains have lower gross margins than to the specialty stores, but do not incur commissions, freight out or warehousing expenses.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $2,889,000 or 27.2% to $13,527,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $10,638,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Operating expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 45.9% for the year ended December 31, 2004 from 41.0% for the year ended December 31, 2003. Operations and selling expenses increased by $1,132,000 in support of the increased sales volume as net sales increased by 13.6% in 2004 over 2003 and as we strengthened our branding and packaging efforts. Research and development increased by $141,000 as we also strengthened our development efforts. General and administrative expenses also increased $1,250,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the prior year period principally as a result of the cost of becoming a public company including increased legal, auditing, insurance and investor relation expenses, along with the cost of the Section 404, Management Assessment of Internal Controls, of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act implementation that we began in the fourth quarter, 2004. Amortization of intangibles was $190,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Other Income and Expense
Other income includes sublease rental income and commission income and decreased $125,000 to $573,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $698,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The agreements with St. Cloud and Strome (Note 10 of the accompanying financial statements) obligate us to include the warrant shares and note shares and the common shares issued with those agreements with a registration statement filed in connection with the Put Agreements (Note 14 of the accompanying 2004 financial statements). As of the date of this filing, we have not filed a registration statement. Accordingly, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the relative net value of the warrants at the date of issuance of $851,399 was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet. Any change in fair value from the date of issuance to the date the underlying shares are registered will be included in other (expense) income. The change in fair value of the warrant liability from the date of issuance to December 31, 2004 was $115,000. Lower commission income accounted for the balance of the change.
Interest expense increased $688,000 to $989,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 from the year ended December 31, 2003 due principally to the $5 million Bridge Note that was entered into in May 2004 with SWT, LLC (Note 9 of the accompanying 2004 financial statements) and the $3.2 million Notes payable, bridge that was entered into in September 2004 with St. Cloud and Strome (Note 10 of the accompanying 2004 financial statements). Cash interest paid for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $210,000 over the prior fiscal year primarily due to the $5 million Bridge Note.
Provision for Income Tax
Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $624,000 due to the decrease in the deferred tax liability. Small World Toys (predecessor) was a Subchapter S corporation. Small World Kids recorded no provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to the cumulative year-to-date net loss incurred.
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 the Company’s secured credit facilities and short term notes. 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, the Company offers early buy programs that are volume related with extended payment terms. The Company’s historical revenue pattern is one in which the second half of the year is more significant to the Company’s 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. The Company expects 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 the Company’s early buy programs. As receivables are collected, the proceeds are used to repay borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Note.
We have incurred significant losses since our purchase of Small World Toys in May 2004. As of June 30, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $19.5 million. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is $5.1 million. In the June 9, 2006 transaction, we received approximately $2.7 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share, converted $3.0 million of debt due in 2006 and 2008 to Class A-1 Preferred Stock, and restructured a $2.5 million note due in 2006 to $250,000 due within 12 months and the balance to begin principal amortization in October 2008. As of June 30, 2006 we have approximately $971,000 principal payments due in the balance of 2006. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our debt obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we would be required to seek additional financing or restructure our debt obligations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing or restructure our debt obligations or that, if we were to be successful in obtaining additional financing or restructure our debt obligations, it would be on favorable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations may cause us to default on these debt obligations. In addition, under cross default provisions in the Laurus Security Agreement, defaults under our debt obligations may cause the acceleration of the repayment of the Revolving and Term Notes.
Additionally, we may need additional financing to fund the Company’s acquisition strategy, the amount of which will depend on the price and structure of potential acquisitions.
In the June 9, 2006 transaction, we received approximately $2.7 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share, converted $3.0 million of debt due in 2006 and 2008 to Class A-1 Preferred Stock, and restructured a $2.5 million note due in 2006 to $250,000 due within 12 months and the balance to begin principal amortization in October 2008. As a condition of this transaction, we converted $3 million of debt into 2,763,636 shares of the Class A-1 Convertible Preferred as follows: (i) the 24% Notes Due 2006 in principal amount of $1,000,000 with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union, PCCW Credit Union and HIT Credit Union; (ii) the $1.5 million in principal amount of the 10% Convertible Debentures due in 2008 along with accrued but unpaid interest and penalties; and (iii) the 10% Note Due 2006 - Related Party in principal amount of $500,000 in notes to various investors which included Debra Fine, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer who provided $175,000 of the total borrowing. We also converted the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock we issued on August 11, 2005, when we converted a $5,000,000 Bridge Note dated May 2004 held by SWT, LLC., along with accrued but unpaid dividends into 4,908,157 shares of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock. Also, as a condition of this sale, the 10% Note Due 2006 to St Cloud Capital Partners LP in the principal amount of $2.5 million was restructured as follows: we prepaid $50,000 of the existing note and issued to St. Cloud two new notes to replace the exiting note. The first note in the principal amount of $200,000 will be for twelve months with monthly amortization payments at a 10% interest rate; the second note will be for $2,250,000 with interest at 10% per annum with interest only payable on June 30, 2006 and September 15, 2006 and commencing September 16, 2006, payments will be interest only each month through September 15, 2008 and commencing October 15, 2008, monthly amortization payments (based on a five-year amortization) with all interest plus unpaid principal due on September 15, 2011 and the second note will be convertible into shares of the common stock of the Company at $4.00 per share.
On March 20, 2006, we entered into a Purchase Order Revolving Credit Line (“PO Credit Line”) of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) with Horizon Financial Services Group USA to provide financing for the acquisition of product from our overseas vendors. The term of the PO Credit Line is eighteen (18) months and provides that we may borrow up to $5,000,000 subject to certain conditions including Horizon’s approval of the applicable vendors. A financing fee equal to Four and One Half Percent (4.50%) of the gross amount or face value of each Horizon financing instrument will be charged for the first forty-five (45) day period or part thereof that the financing instrument remains outstanding. An additional fee of fifty basis points (.50%) for each additional period of 15 days, or part thereof, during which the Horizon financing instrument remains outstanding will be charged. The PO Credit Line has no financial covenants and is collateralized by a security interest, junior in position to that of our senior lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd, to the assets related to the PO Credit Line transactions. Horizon and St. Cloud Capital Partners executed an inter-creditor agreement on the collateralized security interest on June 1, 2006
Pursuant to a security agreement (the “Laurus Security Agreement”), on February 28, 2006, Small World Kids, Inc. issued a Secured Non-Convertible Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”). The term of the Revolving Note is two years and provides that we may borrow up to $16,500,000 subject to certain conditions. Interest is payable monthly, in arrears at a rate per annun equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus two percent (2.0%). The Revolving Note has no financial covenants and is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating subsidiary, Small World Toys.
On February 28, 2006, Small World Kids, Inc., also issued pursuant to the Laurus Security Agreement a $2.0 million, two year Secured Non-Convertible Term Note (the “Term Note”) to Laurus. Commencing April 1, 2006 and each succeeding month after, the Company will make principal payments of $33,333 with all the balance of the unpaid principal amount due upon the maturity date of February 28, 2008. Interest is payable monthly, in arrears at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus three percent (3.0%). The Term Note has no financial covenants and is collateralized by the Laurus Security Agreement.
Under cross default provisions in the Laurus Security Agreement, defaults under our debt obligations may cause the acceleration of the repayment of the Revolving and Term Notes. Under these provisions, a default or acceleration in one of debt agreement may result in the default and acceleration of our debt agreements with Laurus (regardless of whether we were in compliance with the terms of the Laurus Security Agreement), providing Laurus with the right to accelerate the obligations due under their debt agreement.
On July 26, 2006, Laurus authorized a $750,000 overadvance (amount in excess of the maximum allowed borrowings based on a formula amount of the secured assets) on the Revolving Note based on the following terms:
| 1. | All funds from the overadvance will be used strictly to fulfill the open orders and current backlog. |
| 2. | An agreement will be reached within 10 business days to ensure that no principal reductions take place on subordinated debt while the overadvance is outstanding. |
| 3. | Within 20 business days, Laurus will be provided financial projections, updated detail on backlog and open orders and an analysis of the uses of the first $750,000. |
| 4. | The company will need to raise new capital of no less than $500,000, excluding amounts already committed to on July 26, 2006. |
Laurus has agreed to incrase the overadvance by an additional $750,000 upon the Company receiving an additional $500,000 in new equity or subordinated debt.
No agreement has been finalized as of October 2, 2006 with the subordinated lenders relating to the suspension of principal payments while the overadvance is outstanding. During the period that the overadvance is outstanding, the interest rate will equal two percent (2%) per month of the amount of the overadvance.

All securities issuances were made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of the purchase for SWT Shares on May 20, 2004, the Company entered into a contingent earnout with the former shareholder of Small World Toys. The Company 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. In 2005, the seller earned $673,000 based on the Company obtaining $33.7 million in net sales of which $350,000 was paid in quarterly installments in 2005 and the balance due in 2006 to be paid on a $60,000 per month payment schedule commencing on April 2006. The 2006 earnout is based on 2% of 2006 net sales up to a maximum of $800,000. Of the 2006 earnout, a minimum quarterly payment of $87,500 will be paid with the balance earned due January 2007.
On March 20, 2006, The Company entered into a Purchase Order Revolving Credit Line (“PO Credit Line”) of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) with Horizon Financial Services Group USA to provide financing for the acquisition of product from our overseas vendors. The term of the PO Credit Line is eighteen (18) months and provides that we may borrow up to $5,000,000 subject to certain conditions including Horizon’s approval of the applicable vendors. A financing fee equal to Four and One Half Percent (4.50%) of the gross amount or face value of each Horizon financing instrument will be charged for the first forty-five (45) day period or part thereof that the financing instrument remains outstanding. An additional fee of fifty basis points (.50%) for each additional period of 15 days, or part thereof, during which the Horizon financing instrument remains outstanding will be charged. The PO Credit Line has no financial covenants and is collateralized by a security interest, junior in position to that of our senior lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd, to the assets related to the PO Credit Line transactions. Horizon and St. Cloud Capital Partners executed an inter-creditor agreement on the collateralized security interest on June 1, 2006
The Company has 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 the Company’s long-term debt payments, operating lease payments and other commitments is provided in Item 6 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. There have been no material changes in contractual obligations since December 31, 2005.
Contractual Obligations
Our corporate headquarters are located at 5711 Buckingham Parkway, Culver City, California 90230, where we lease approximately 28,000 square feet and sublease approximately 17,000. This lease was amended to extend the term to February 28, 2009. We also lease approximately 62,000 square feet of warehouse space in Carson, California. This lease was also amended to extend the term to January 31, 2008. We also lease 1,200 square feet of office space in China in the town of ChangAn, GuangDong Province. This one year lease expires November 1, 2006. We believe these facilities and additional or alternative space available to us will be adequate to meet our needs in the near term.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our business outside the United States is conducted in United States Dollars. Although we purchase and sell products and services in United States Dollars and do not engage in exchange swaps, futures or options contracts or other hedging techniques, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce demand for products sold in United States dollars. We cannot predict the effect that future exchange rate fluctuations will have on our operating results. We may in the future engage in currency hedging transactions, which could result in our incurring significant additional losses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates estimates, including those related to the valuation of inventory and the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The significant accounting policies which management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include revenue recognition and sales allowances, inventory, accounts receivable and allowances for doubtful accounts and intangible assets.
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. We recognize 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, for certain shipments such as direct shipments from our vendors to our customers or where we use consolidators to deliver our products (usually export shipments) revenue is recognized in accordance with the sales terms specified by the respective 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 commits to promotional sales allowance programs with its 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.
We offer extended terms to some of its customers in the first three quarters of the year by way of sales promotions whereby payment will not become due until the fourth quarter if a specified purchase threshold has been met. This promotion allows us to capture additional shelf space and to encumber more of the annual budgets of our retail customers. The result of this promotion gives rise to a significant increase in accounts receivable through the fourth quarter until such time that substantially all accounts become due and are collected. Based upon historically low rates of return and collection of substantially all of these extended term accounts, we have determined that revenue is appropriately recognized in accordance with its normal procedures described above.
Inventory
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 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, the estimated the fair value of the assets acquired for purpose of allocating the purchase price.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had a net amount of $5.3 million of goodwill and purchased intangible assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As no impairment indicators were present during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company believes this value remains recoverable based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the associated products and technologies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140". FASB Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" establishing among other things, the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement amends Statement 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. This Statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The company will adopt SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 155"), which amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") and SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We will adopt SFAS 155 on January 1, 2007.
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 SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 153," Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 "(SFAS 153). The standard is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged and eliminates the exception under APB Opinion No. 29 for an exchange of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The standard is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
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 September 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
On September 22, 2005, the SEC issued rules to delay by one-year the required reporting by management on internal controls over financial reporting for non-accelerated filers. The new SEC rule extends the compliance date for such registrants to fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2007. Accordingly, the Company qualifies for the deferral until its year ending December 31, 2007 to comply with the internal control reporting requirements.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, "The Meaning of `Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument' in EITF Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 05-2"), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered `conventional' for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument's economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2 to new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005.
The emerging issues task force (“EITF”) is currently reviewing the accounting for securities with liquidated damages clauses as stated in EITF 05-04, “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF 00-19”. There are currently several views as to how to account for this type of transaction and the EITF has not yet reached a consensus. Once the FASB ratifies the then-completed consensus of the EITF on EITF 05-04, we will assess the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting the standard.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus on Issue 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements, which requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. EITF 05-6 is effective for periods beginning after July 1, 2005. The provisions of this consensus did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05-7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Securities and Related Issues” (“EITF 05-7”). EITF 05-7 addresses that the changes in the fair value of an embedded conversion option upon modification should be included in the analysis under EITF Issue 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” to determine whether a modification or extinguishment has occurred and that changes to the fair value of a conversion option affects the interest expense on the associated debt instrument following a modification. Therefore, the change in fair value of the conversion option should be recognized upon the modification as a discount or premium associated with the debt, and an increase or decrease in additional paid-in capital. EITF 05-7 is effective for all debt modifications in annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements.
BUSINESS
We were organized on July 28, 2001 under the name SavOn Team Sports, Inc. in the State of Utah to sell sporting goods over the Internet. On May 20, 2004, we acquired Fine Ventures, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and Small World Toys, a California corporation. As a result of these acquisitions, we had a change of our management, our controlling shareholders, our financial position and our business plan. We are now a holding company and have no significant business operations or assets other than our interest in Small World Toys. Fine Ventures LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary with no business operations or assets. Since the acquisition of Small World Toys, we have been engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of educational and developmental toys. To more accurately reflect our operations after the acquisitions, we changed our name from SavOn Team Sports, Inc. to Small World Kids, Inc. and changed our place of incorporation from the state of Utah to the state of Nevada.
In September 2004, Small World Toys acquired certain assets of Neurosmith LLC including electronic learning and related intellectual property, prototypes, models, chips and miscellaneous assets. On June 24, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of Imagiix LP including intellectual property and miscellaneous assets.
Working capital requirements 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 the Company’s 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.
On October 14, 2005 we completed a ten for one (10:1) reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”), with rounding all fractional shares down to the next full share. After the Reverse Split, there are approximately 5,400,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The Reverse Split did not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock, alter the par value or modify any voting rights or other terms thereof. As a result of the Reverse Split, the conversion price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of any outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock was proportionally adjusted pursuant to the respective terms thereof. All references in this prospectus to units of securities (e.g. Common Stock shares) or per share amounts are reflective of the Reverse Split for all periods reported.
Strategy
Our strategic plan is market expansion through both growth of existing product lines, and the acquisition of product lines and companies that create synergies in operations, production and distribution. We regard 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.
The anticipated benefits of this proposed strategy include:
| · | Enhanced channels of distribution for products through the combination of the potential target’s alternative distribution channels with our specialty retail distribution channels. |
| · | 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 that 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, combined 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. |
However, acquisitions involve 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 our results of operations, including difficulties in integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel, the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies, failure of an acquired business to achieve targeted financial results.and potential increase of indebtedness to finance the acquisition.
Product Overview
We develop and manufacture, market and distribute high-quality toys that we distribute through Specialty, Chain, Education, Catalog, Online and International Channels. We have a Director of sales who works with independent toy sales representatives throughout the country. We contract with eleven firms which in total employ 80 sales representatives. We send them our catalog of products that we have developed twice per year. These catalogs are sent out in January and July. The product includes price lists. The sales representatives visit, call or fax the buyers of Toy, Gift, Education, Catalog, Juvenile and Online stores, present the product and write up orders. We also have accounts or retailers that our internal sales force of five people call on. In this case, we go to visit them and write orders directly instead of going through Sales Representatives. We pay our Sales Representatives a commission on sales on a monthly basis that ranges from 5% of sales to 10% of sales depending on size, volume and discounts. The accounts then mark up the product that they buy from us and sell to their customers. Our Small World Toy’s proprietary product lines features toys for children ages zero to ten with a focus of promoting early learning, education, discovery and imagination. Proprietary products are those products that we have patents on the technology related to certain product function primarily in the Neurosmith line or design patent or trademark which covers all of our brand names such as Ryan’s Room or Active Edge®. Our product lines include over 800 products. Most of our products have long life cycles (5-7 years on average) and our brands are commonly referred to in the toy industry as “evergreen” or long life cycle products that are less seasonal in nature. The type of products that are considered evergreen are toys that continue to sell for at least seven years without significant decline in sales and are not “trend or fashion” oriented. For example, baby rattles and crib toys do not go out of style, and there are very few technological changes that would cause the product to be replaced or retired. These products, except for minor modifications in shape and color, are offered year after year.

Distribution
Small World Toys has been distributing its products to a broad spectrum of retail and other accounts for over 40 years. Some of these accounts include toy specialty, chain, gift, education, catalog and e-commerce. We have over 80 sales representatives, within 11 representative firms that sell to these accounts by geographic locations. The representative firms are managed in house. In addition, a five member sales team handles in house accounts as well as develops new channels of distribution. We have utilized our distribution strength to represent other, high quality companies that did not have distribution into the specialty market in the United States such as Tolo®. We receive samples of their products or catalogs that show their products. We then either incorporate their product pictures and pricing into our catalog or use their own catalog. We buy their product, ship it into our warehouse and sell it to our retail and on-line customers through our in house and outside sales representatives.
SW Express is our brand name of products that include both products that we buy from manufacturers to resell instead of developing ourselves as well as products that we distribute for other companies such as Tolo. It is not a separate company or branch of the company; it is a brand name in which to differentiate the products that we distribute rather than those we develop ourselves. Distribution allows us to increase category presence, expand market share, limit manufacturing (tooling) risk and sell into new channels. SW Express has been distributing Tolo Toys exclusively in the United States for over 10 years. SW Express allows us to take advantage of the relationship we have with our customers and their 6,000 stores. Product categories that SW Express distributes include Nature and Science, Outdoor, Pool and high quality Infant and Toddler toys. Toys include Preschool Laptop, Tailgate Trio Car and Wigglin’ Water sprinkler. Small World Toys has agreements with these companies and either buys the products directly from the manufacturers to distribute into its channels or receives a distribution percentage upon selling the product. Currently, most of our distributed products are sourced and produced in China.
Infant and preschool toys made of quality, bright plastic and plush, which are produced in China by British founders with a strong European market presence. Small World has distributed Tolo products in the USA for over ten years. Toys include Sneezy The Activity Dragon and First Friends and accessories.
International
Outside of the United States, our primary markets are Canada, Western Europe, and Asia. Sales of our products abroad accounted for approximately $1,097,000 or 3.2 % and $670,000 or 2.3% of our net sales in 2005 and 2004, respectively. We believe that foreign markets present an attractive opportunity, and we plan to intensify our marketing efforts and further expand our distribution channels abroad.
Marketing
Generally, our products and brands are promoted through local market promotions, merchandising displays and advertising print, including cooperative advertising with retail accounts. Our product launches include in-store merchandising displays, trade advertising and newspaper ads that are co-oped with our retail customers. We participate in the New York Toy Fairs in October and February. We also attend gift and juvenile shows including JPMA (Juvenile Products Manufacturers Assoc.), NSSEA (National School Supply & Education Assoc., and ABC (All Baby’s and Children Expo). Going forward, we will maintain our trade and local marketing efforts while expanding programs to reach the consumer on a more national level, including an increased focus on public relations outreach, strengthening partnerships with key influencers in the fields of early learning and child development, participation in relevant event marketing and sponsorships, utilization of direct-to-consumer media and the establishment of consumer loyalty programs.
Manufacturing
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. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the top ten vendors accounted for 65% of the total product purchases. The top two of these vendors accounted for 11% and 9% of total purchases, respectively. Manufacturers are selected based on their technical and production capabilities and are matched to particular products to achieve cost and quality efficiencies. Employees in the Culver City office create and design product in each product category. They then send the designs to the manufacturer to get a sample product and costing done or have samples made in the United States. Once the sample and costing is approved, these product developers will work with the factories to insure the integrity and safety of the products. Small World Toys designs approximately 90 toys per year and sources approximately 60 products from Asian or European manufacturers. We have long standing relationships with our manufacturers and have been manufacturing in Asia for more than 15 years. Small World Toys works with more than 40 factories both on a manufacturing basis and to source toys to distribute exclusively in the United States. Small World Toys has credit terms with most of its manufacturers and pays upon shipping of product from Hong Kong. Small World Toys has an office in Hong Kong with five people who are responsible for inspecting factories and setting up relationships with new manufacturers. The group also inspects product and sends product to a third party for safety certification. Small World Toys also has a staff in Quality and Control in its Culver City office that works with product development and all phases of production to assure that all safety requirements are met. Small World Toys owns all of its tools for product developed internally as well as trademarks and design patents. 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.
Customers and Customer Service
Our three largest customers, TJX Companies, Costco Wholesale Corporation and Ross Stores, Inc. collectively represented 27.3% and 21.7 % of 2005 and 2004 sales, respectively. No other customer represents greater than 5% of our sales in 2005 or 2004. Although we do not have long term contracts with any of our customers, we believe that our ability to establish and maintain long-term relationships is substantial as many of our accounts have been buying from Small World Toys for more than 15 years. Small World Toys has consistently been in the top five vendors with almost all of its 2,500 Specialty accounts. Small World Toys sells to high end Specialty stores as well as the educational channel, the book channel, high end department stores such as Nordstroms and other high end retailers such as Learning Express and Lakeshore Learning. Small World Toys has become a vendor with other high end chains such as Target and Costco. Small World is trying to differentiate its product for each channel in order to keep product fresh in each channel. Our success with our customers, which is now approximately 6,000 stores (ex. One customer -Target operates over 1,300 stores) is based on providing programs and product that will help them stock and sell our product. Small World Toys has a staff of 5 customer service representatives who are supervised by a Customer Service Manager. We encourage and utilize frequent communication with and feedback from our customers and retailers to continually improve our products and service. We offer toll-free telephone support for customers who prefer to talk directly with a customer service representative. We also respond to e-mail inquiries received through our website.
Product Development
While many of our products are evergreen brands or long life cycle products, we are continually developing new products and the refreshing of existing products. We expensed approximately $1,972,000 and $1,173,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively, on activities relating to the development and design of new 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 exclusive distribution in the United Sates specialty market and a small amount of open market product that we put through our distribution chain for retailers.
We have the capability to create and develop products from inception to finished goods. Additionally, we 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.
Most of our products that we develop are sold under our trademarks and trade names, while the Neurosmith products incorporate patented devices or designs. Trade names and trademarks are significant assets in that they provide product recognition and acceptance. We customarily seek trademark and patent protection covering our products and owns or have applications pending for US and foreign patents covering many of our Neurosmith products. A number of these trademarks relate to product lines that are significant to our business and operations. We believe our rights to these properties are adequately protected, but there can be no assurance that our rights can be successfully asserted in the future or will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged.
We have launched an electronic learning line through our 2004 acquisition of Neurosmith. Small World Toys acquired the patents, designs, trademarks, copyrights and technology for over 20 Early Electronic Products in the Neurosmith brand. Small World Toys has more than 20 patents and 100 copyrights and trademarks, including design patents in its portfolio. Small World Toys holds the licensing rights to design, manufacture, market and distribute many well known trademarks and copyrighted products based on the properties of Eric Carle, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, Karen Katz and Dr. Seuss.
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 this concept that are sold, and may, on an individual basis, guarantee a minimum royalty. Royalties payable to inventors and developers generally range from 5% to 10% of the net 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.
We also have license agreements with third parties that permit us to utilize the trademark, characters or inventions of the licensor in products that we sell.
Competition
Competition in the toy industry is intense. We compete with several medium and small toy companies in our product categories that distribute products into the specialty toy market such as Alex, International Playthings Inc., Melissa and Doug, Playmobil U.S.A., RC2 Corporation, and Toysmith Group. We also compete with several large toy companies such as Mattel, Hasbro and Jakks Pacific. These competitors have greater financial resources, larger sales and marketing and product development departments, stronger name recognition, longer operating histories and benefit from greater economies of scale. These factors, among others, may enable our competitors to market their products at lower prices or on terms more advantageous to customers than those we could offer for our competitive products. These competitors may have a greater ability to procure product licenses, as well as to market and distribute products and obtain shelf space. Competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We compete primarily in the infant and pre-school category and the educational toy category of the U.S. toy industry and, to some degree, in the International toy industry. Our platform company, Small World Toys, has been distributing our products into the specialty retail, catalog, education and chains for over 40 years and we believe that our relationships and quality of our product brand awareness have been critical to our penetration.
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. In 2005 and 2004, approximately 60% and 59%, respectively of net sales were generated in the third and fourth calendar quarters. We have traditionally introduced new product catalogs in January and in July. Generally, the first 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. However, we employ customer programs for retailers or “early buy” programs to lesson the seasonality. These programs provide an opportunity for our customers to purchase our products in the first and second quarters and stock through the year by offering dating programs, where they pay in their highest sales quarters, typically in the third and fourth quarters.
Employees
At December 31, 2005, we had 59 full time employees. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Properties
Our corporate headquarters are located at 5711 Buckingham Parkway, Culver City, California 90230, where we lease approximately 28,000 square feet and sublease approximately 17,000. This lease was amended to extend the term to February 28, 2009. We also lease approximately 62,000 square feet of warehouse space in Carson, California. This lease was also amended to extend the term to January 31, 2008. We also lease 1,200 square feet of office space in China in the town of ChangAn, in the GuangDong Province. This one year lease expires November 1, 2006. We believe these facilities and additional or alternative space available to us will be adequate to meet our needs in the near term.
Government Regulation
Our products sold in the United States are subject to the provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Act (the “CPSA”), The Federal Hazardous Substances Act (the “FHSA”), The Flammable Fabrics Act (the “FFA”), and the regulations promulgated under each of these acts.
The CPSA empowers the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the “CPSC”) to take action against hazards presented by consumer products, including the formulation and implementation of regulations and uniform safety standards. The CPSC has the authority to seek to declare a product “a banned hazardous substance” under the CPSA and to ban it from commerce. The CPSC can file an action to seize and condemn an “imminently hazardous consumer product” under the CPSA and may also order equitable remedies such as recall, replacement, repair or refund for the product. The FHSA provides for the repurchase by the manufacturer of articles that are banned.
Consumer product safety laws also exist in Europe. We employ testing and other procedures intended to maintain compliance with the CPSA, the FHSA, the FFA, international standards, and our own standards. Every item carried by Small World Toys conforms to the safety guidelines as outlined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the applicable international standards. To ensure that all of our items meet the highest safety standards, all items are regularly tested to the most current ASTM F963 standard, which is a standard consumer safety specification on toy safety, designed by the American Society for Testing and Materials. We also perform in-house testing on all items for ages up to three years. In addition to the standard ASTM F963 testing, we also require CPAI-84 on all camping gear, current FCC testing on all electronic frequency items, and ASTM D4236 relevant to all arts and crafts items we carry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that all of our products are or will be hazard free. Any material product recall could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, depending on the product and scope of the recall, and could negatively affect sales of our other products, as well. We are required by a consent decree signed in July 1986 with the CPSC to test all products that are age appropriate for children under three years of age.

(“Gemini”) filed an action in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against Small World Toys, Debra Fine, and Fineline Services, LLC.

The Company disputes Mr. Yanigihara claims and intends to strenuously defend against these claims.
Other than the foregoing, we are not a party to any material legal proceedings and there are no material legal proceedings pending with respect to our property. We are not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authorities involving either us or our property. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party in any legal proceedings involving us or our subsidiaries, or has an interest in any proceeding which is adverse to us or our subsidiaries.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Under the terms of this offering, the shares of common stock offered may be resold without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except that any shares purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Sale of Restricted Shares
Certain shares of our outstanding common stock were issued and sold by us in private transactions in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and have not been registered for resale. Additional shares may be issued pursuant to outstanding warrants and options. Such shares may be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by us or an applicable exemption, including the exemption contained in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a shareholder, including one of our affiliates, may sell shares of common stock after at least one year has elapsed since such shares were acquired from us or our affiliate. The number of shares of common stock which may be sold within any three-month period is limited to the greater of: (i) one percent of our then outstanding common stock, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under Rule 144. Certain other requirements of Rule 144 concerning availability of public information, manner of sale and notice of sale must also be satisfied. In addition, a shareholder who is not our affiliate, who has not been our affiliate for 90 days prior to the sale, and who has beneficially owned shares acquired from us or our affiliate for over two years may resell the shares of common stock without compliance with many of the foregoing requirements under Rule 144.
Stock Options
We filed on February 4, 2005, a Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, to register 1,380,000 shares of our common stock, $.001 par value per share, issued or issuable pursuant to our 2004 Stock Compensation Plan.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The securities being offered hereunder are being offered by the selling stockholders listed below or their respective transferees, pledgees, donees or successors. Each selling stockholder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of such selling stockholder’s shares that are registered under this prospectus. Because no selling stockholder is obligated to sell shares, and because the selling stockholders may also acquire publicly traded shares of our common stock, we cannot accurately estimate how many shares each selling stockholder will own after the offering.
All expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the common stock covered by this prospectus will be borne by us, but we will not be obligated to pay any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or other expenses incurred by any selling stockholder in connection with the sale of shares.
The following table sets forth, with respect to each selling stockholder (i) the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of October 2, 2006 and prior to the offering contemplated hereby, (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be sold by the selling stockholder under this prospectus, and (iii) the number of shares of common stock which will be owned after the offering by the selling stockholder. The percentage ownership set forth below is based upon 5,410,575 shares outstanding and the number of shares underlying stock options, warrants and conversions which may be exercisable or will be exercisable within 60 days of October 2, 2006. In compliance with the Rule 13d-3, securities underlying options, warrants or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days of October 2, 2006 are deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing beneficial ownership of each of the respective selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
General
Each selling stockholder and any of their pledges, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. Each selling stockholder will act independently from us in making decisions with respect to the manner, timing, price and size of each sale. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
· | settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; |
· | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus, which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.
Registration Obligations
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Troy & Gould P.C. David L. Ficksman, a member of Troy & Gould P.C., beneficially owns 37,726 shares of Small World Kids.

SMALL WORLD KIDS, INC.
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, 2005 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 the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. 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.
On October 14, 2005 the Company completed a ten for one (10:1) reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”). As of the date of the Reverse Split, there were 54,105,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding. Immediately after the split there were 5,410,575 Common shares outstanding. Accordingly, all references to units of securities (e.g. shares of Common Stock) or per share amounts are reflective of the Reverse Split for all periods reported.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to prepare its financial statements on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern. As such, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from liquidity uncertainties or any future decisions made with respect to the Company’s strategic alternatives.
We have incurred significant losses since our purchase of Small World Toys in May 2004. As of June 30, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $19.5 million. On June 9, 2006, the Company received approximately $2.4 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $.3 million which the Company expects to close by September 2006, converted $3.0 million of debt due in 2006 and 2008 to Class A-1 Preferred Stock, and restructured a $2.5 million note due in 2006 to $250,000 due within 12 months and the balance to begin principal amortization in October 2008. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we have received an additional $50,000 and binding commitments for an additional $50,000 which the Company expects to close by September 2006 from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share. As of June 30, 2006, we had $971,000 in principal payments due during the balance of 2006 to Laurus, Horizon, St. Cloud and the former shareholder of Small World Toys. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our debt and operational obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we would be required to seek additional financing or restructure our debt obligations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations or that, if we were to be successful in obtaining additional financing or restructure our debt obligations, it would be on favorable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations may cause us to default on these debt obligations. In addition, under cross default provisions in the Laurus Security Agreement, defaults under our debt obligations may cause the acceleration of the repayment of the Revolving and Term Notes. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Management has and will continue to pursue the following actions (i) reducing operating expenses, (ii) seeking to obtain new equity and (iii) restructuring the debt obligations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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.
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
The Company follows SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” SFAS No. 131 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. We sell developmental toys including over 800 toy products for the baby to approximately 7 years old including blocks, balls, sorters, regular and bilingual puzzles, doll houses and castles with accessories, wooden appliances with bakery, utensil and realistic food replication, dolls and outdoor sports equipment and activites. We have one segment which meets the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments. Our international sales accounted for 3.2% and 2.3% of our net sales in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
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. We recognize 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, for certain shipments such as direct shipments from our vendors to our customers or where we use consolidators to deliver our products (usually export shipments) revenue is recognized in accordance with the sales terms specified by the respective 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 our 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.
We offer extended terms to some of our customers in the first three quarters of the year by way of sales promotions whereby payment will not become due until the fourth quarter if a specified purchase threshold has been met. This promotion allows us to capture additional shelf space and to capture more of the annual budgets of our retail customers. The result of this promotion gives rise to a significant increase in accounts receivable through the fourth quarter until substantially all accounts become due and are collected. Based upon historically low rates of return and collection of substantially all of these extended term accounts, we have determined that revenue is appropriately recognized in accordance with its normal procedures described above.
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 $684,000 and $1,295,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively and $713,000 and $1,505,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively . We typically charge customers for freight out, except those vendors who qualify under the dating promotional programs, for orders over $1,000 or under fixed terms.
Recent Accounting Developments
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, with respect to FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, regarding accounting for and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. FIN No. 48 is intended to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the recognition and measurement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact this interpretation will have on our statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” establishing among other things, the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement amends Statement 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. This Statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The company will adopt SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (“SFAS 140”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We will adopt SFAS 155 on January 1, 2007.
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 SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 153,” Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 “(SFAS 153). The standard is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged and eliminates the exception under APB Opinion No. 29 for an exchange of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The standard is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
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 September 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
On September 22, 2005, the SEC issued rules to delay by one-year the required reporting by management on internal controls over financial reporting for non-accelerated filers. The new SEC rule extends the compliance date for such registrants to fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2007. Accordingly, the Company qualifies for the deferral until its year ending December 31, 2007 to comply with the internal control reporting requirements.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, "The Meaning of `Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument' in EITF Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 05-2"), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered `conventional' for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument's economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2 to new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005.
The emerging issues task force (“EITF”) is currently reviewing the accounting for securities with liquidated damages clauses as stated in EITF 05-04, “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF 00-19”. There are currently several views as to how to account for this type of transaction and the EITF has not yet reached a consensus. Once the FASB ratifies the then-completed consensus of the EITF on EITF 05-04, we will assess the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting the standard.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus on Issue 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements, which requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. EITF 05-6 is effective for periods beginning after July 1, 2005. The provisions of this consensus did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05-7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Securities and Related Issues” (“EITF 05-7”). EITF 05-7 addresses that the changes in the fair value of an embedded conversion option upon modification should be included in the analysis under EITF Issue 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” to determine whether a modification or extinguishment has occurred and that changes to the fair value of a conversion option affects the interest expense on the associated debt instrument following a modification. Therefore, the change in fair value of the conversion option should be recognized upon the modification as a discount or premium associated with the debt, and an increase or decrease in additional paid-in capital. EITF 05-7 is effective for all debt modifications in annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements.
NOTE 3 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s 2004 Stock Compensation Plan (“Plan”) provides for grants of options up to 780,000 shares of common stock, and was amended on January 25, 2005 to provide grants of options up to 1,380,000. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may grant options to any directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company. Stock options are granted at, or above, the fair market value of our stock. As of June 30, 2006, there were 812,000 options available for grant.
The following table summarizes the activity of stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2006:
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |
Shares under option at December 31, 2005 | | | 654,166 | | $ | 3.84 | |
Granted | | | 25,000 | | | 2.50 | |
Exercised | | | 0 | | | 0 | |
Expired | | | 0 | | | 0 | |
Canceled | | | (70,000 | ) | | 5.17 | |
Shares under option at June 30, 2006 | | | 609,166 | | $ | 3.63 | |
Exercisable shares as of June 30, 2006 | | | 431,457 | | $ | 3.60 | |
Unvested shares as of June 30, 2006 | | | 177,709 | | $ | 3.69 | |
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123R”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”) for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company’s financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) for the determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant. Using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock options exercise behaviors.
The fair value of the Company’s options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following the weighted average assumptions:
| | Six Months ended June 30, 2006 | |
Expected life (in years) | | | 6.5 | |
Expected volatility | | | 107.1 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.6 | % |
Expected dividend | | | — | |
In accordance with SFAS 123R stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Based on historical experiences, the Company expects 10% per year forfeitures of its prior option grants and therefore the compensation expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company adjusted the expected forfeitures for actual as they occurred.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $165,000. The weighted average fair value of the 25,000 options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3.93 with an aggregate total value of $98,000. As of June 30, 2006, $327,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options are expected to be recognized over the following 31 months. Since we adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006, there was no stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options recognized during six months ended June 30, 2005.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense had been recognized in the Company’s statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
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 for the six months ended June 30, 2005:
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 | |
Net loss attributable to common stock as reported | | | (3,797,423 | ) |
Deduct: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects | | | (181,013 | ) |
Pro forma net loss | | | (3,978,436 | ) |
Basic and diluted net loss per share: | | | | |
As reported | | | (0.71 | ) |
Pro forma | | | (0.75 | ) |
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company granted 38,000 options at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock at the time of the grant.
The Company also granted 50,000 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 expire three months after the completion or 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 the service period of the consulting agreement. The Company recorded compensation expense $11,000 and $20,000 related to these options during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $93,000 and $113,000, respectively.
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 the end of the Second Quarter, the second 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.
In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company also reviewed for impairment the fair value of the intangible assets acquired from Imagiix in June 2005. In 2006, the Company has orders and shipped approximately $759,000 in Imagiix products and exceeded the projections used for the valuation of the assets acquired. As such, there is no indication of impairment and no adjustment was required to be made.
NOTE 6 ISSUANCE OF CLASS A-1 PREFERRED STOCK
On June 9, 2006, the Company received approximately $2.4 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $.3 million which the Company expects to close by September 2006. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we have received an additional $50,000 and binding commitments for an additional $50,000 which the Company expects to close by September 2006 from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share. As a condition of this transaction, we converted an aggregate of $3 million of debt (plus a portion accrued interest) into 2,763,636 shares of the Class A-1 Convertible Preferred as follows: (i) the 24% Notes Due 2006 in principal amount of $1,000,000 with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union, PCCW Credit Union and HIT Credit Union; (ii) the $1.5 million in principal amount of the 10% Convertible Debentures due in 2008 along with accrued but unpaid interest and penalties; and (iii) the 10% Note Due 2006 - Related Party in principal amount of $500,000 in notes to various investors which included Debra Fine, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer who provided $175,000 of the total borrowing. We also converted the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock we issued to SWT, LLC on August 11, 2005, when we converted a $5,000,000 Bridge Note dated May 2004 held by SWT, LLC., along with accrued but unpaid dividends, into 4,908,157 shares of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock.
Also as a condition of this sale, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 9, 2006 with St. Cloud Capital Partners L.P. where the Company prepaid $50,000 of the existing $2,500,000 note and issued to St. Cloud Note two new notes to replace the exiting note. The first note in the principal amount of $200,000 is for twelve months with monthly amortization payments at a 10% interest rate. The second note is for $2,250,000 with interest at 10% per annum, interest only payable on June 30, 2006 and September 15, 2006. Commencing September 16, 2006, payments will be interest only each month through September 15, 2008, and commencing October 15, 2008, monthly amortization payments (based on a five-year amortization) with all interest plus unpaid principal due on September 15, 2011. The second note will be convertible into shares of the common stock of the Company at $4.00 per share (Note 7).
The Company issued 100,000 warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 to C.E.Unterberg, Towbin Capital Partners1, L.P. in connection with the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock. The warrants have a fair value of $11,000 calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Expected life (in years) | | | 5 | |
Expected volatility | | | 121.7 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 5.0 | % |
Expected dividend | | | — | |
The fair value of the warrants are recorded as a reduction to the net proceeds from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock.
The Class A-1 Preferred Stock has a beneficial conversion feature which allows the holders to acquire Common Stock of the Company at an effective conversion price of $.25 below fair value at the date of issuance. In accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, the Company has determined the intrinsic value of this in-the-money conversion feature accounted for it as a discount to the Preferred Stock. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be approximately $2.5 million. As the Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, the full value of the conversion feature is deemed a dividend upon issuance and as such have been recorded directly to accumulated deficit. The Class A-1 Preferred has an adjustment of the conversion price upon issuance of additional equity at a price lower than the conversion which causes the Class A-1 Preferred to be treated as unconventional but upon evaluation under EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, it was determined that the embedded derivative would be classified as equity and as such, the Company did not bifurcate the conversion feature.

Laurus Security Agreement
On February 28, 2006, The Company entered into a security agreement (the Laurus “Security Agreement”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”). Included in the Security Agreement is an asset-based Secured Non-Convertible Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note”). The term of the Revolving Note is two years and provides that we may borrow up to $16,500,000 subject to certain conditions. Interest is payable monthly, in arrears at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus two percent (2.0%). The Revolving Note has no financial covenants and is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating subsidiary, Small World Toys. Proceeds from the Revolving Note were used to repay funds borrowed under the secured asset-based revolving credit facility with PNC Bank (“PNC”) and the PNC facility was terminated.
The Company also has a $2.0 million, two year Secured Non-Convertible Term Note (the “Term Note “) with Laurus. Commencing April 1, 2006 and each succeeding month after, the Company will make principal payments of $33,333 with all the balance of the unpaid principal amount due upon the maturity date of February 28, 2008. Interest is payable monthly, in arrears at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus three percent (3.0%). The Term Note has no financial covenants and is collateralized by the Laurus Security Agreement.
In consideration for the Revolving Note and the Term Note, the Company issued to Laurus a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 1,036,000 shares of common stock at a $0.001 per share exercise price. This warrant has a fair value of $2,586,000 calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Expected life (in years) | | | 10 | |
Expected volatility | | | 107.1 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.6 | % |
Expected dividend | | | — | |
These warrants are subject to registration rights requiring the Company to register the underlying shares with the SEC within 60 days of the issuance of the warrant. The deadline to register the underlying shares has been subsequently amended to June 15, 2006. The Company filed the registration statement with the SEC on June 15, 2006. The registration statement must be declared effective within 180 days of the issuance of the warrant or Laurus may impose a default interest rate equal to two percent (2%) per month interest on the outstanding Revolving and Term Notes until the registration statement is declared effective.
It has been determined that the default interest rate is in effect liquidated damages, and therefore, in accordance with EITF 00-19, the value of the warrants has been recorded as a liability subject to marked-to-market revaluation at each period end. The decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability associated with Laurus from the date of issuance of February 28, 2006 to June 30, 2006 was $1,293,000 and is a result of the decrease in the trading value of our stock during this period.
In connection with the Security Agreement, the Company paid broker and management fees of $833,000 and was recorded as an asset as debt issuance costs to be amortized over the life of the loan.
The value of the warrant of $2,586,000 was recorded as an asset as debt issuance costs to be amortized over the life of the loan.
The Company had $443,000 of availability on the Revolving Note as of June 30, 2006.
On July 26, 2006, Laurus authorized an $750,000 overadvance (amount in excess of the maximum allowed borrowings based on a formula amount of the secured assets) on the Revolving Note based on the following terms:
1. | All funds from the overadvance will be used strictly to fulfill the open orders and current backlog. |
2. | An agreement will be reached within 10 business days to ensure that no principal reductions take place on subordinated debt while the overadvance is outstanding. |
3. | Within 20 business days, Laurus will be provided financial projections, updated detail on backlog and open orders and an analysis of the uses of the first $750,000. |
4. | The company will need to raise new capital of no less than $500,000, excluding amounts already committed to on July 26, 2006. |
Laurus has agreed to increase the overadvance by an additional $750,000 upon the Company receiving an additional $500,000 in new equity or subordinated debt.
No agreement has been finalized as of October 2, 2006 with the subordinated lenders relating to the suspension of principal payments while the overadvance is outstanding. During the period that the overadvance is outstanding, the interest rate will equal two percent (2%) per month of the amount of the overadvance.
Purchase Order Financing Facility
On March 20, 2006, The Company entered into a Purchase Order Revolving Credit Line (“PO Credit Line”) of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) with Horizon Financial Services Group USA to provide financing for the acquisition of product from our overseas vendors. The term of the PO Credit Line is eighteen (18) months and provides that we may borrow up to $5,000,000 subject to certain conditions including Horizon’s approval of the applicable vendors. A financing fee equal to Four and One Half Percent (4.50%) of the gross amount or face value of each Horizon financing instrument will be charged for the first forty-five (45) day period or part thereof that the financing instrument remains outstanding. An additional fee of fifty basis points (.50%) for each additional period of 15 days, or part thereof, during which the Horizon financing instrument remains outstanding will be charged. The PO Credit Line has no financial covenants and is collateralized by a security interest, junior in position to that of our senior lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd, to the assets related to the PO Credit Line transactions. As of June 30, 2006, there were $338,000 due under this facility.
10% Bridge Notes - St Cloud Capital Partners LP
On September 15, 2004, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with St. Cloud Capital Partners L.P. (“St. Cloud”), pursuant to which we issued to St. Cloud a 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000, due September 15, 2005. The Company also was required to pay a closing fee of $80,000 and a management fee of $80,000 to St.Cloud. In connection with the issuance of the note, we issued St. Cloud 650,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 350,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to $.50 per share. The warrants expire in September 2008. The Company also granted certain registration rights whereby the Company agreed to include the common stock and warrants in a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
On July 20, 2005 the Company amended the Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which St. Cloud agreed to advance to the Company an additional $500,000 for an aggregate loan of $2.5 million at an interest rate of 10% per annum payable monthly in arrears. The aggregate loan is secured by certain Company assets including Receivables, Inventory, Equipment and other assets. In consideration for the advance, the Company issued to St. Cloud an additional 16,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and four year immediately exercisable warrants for the right to acquire 8,750 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock. The aggregate Warrants underlying 43,750 shares of Common Stock are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest of (a) $4.00 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 million. The Amendment also provides piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares in the event the Company files a qualified Registration Statement with the SEC.
On November 11, 2005, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Agreement with St. Cloud pursuant to which the Company issued to St. Cloud a new promissory note (the “Replacement Note”) replacing the existing note to St. Cloud in the principal amount of $2,500,000 (the “Loan Amount”). Under the Replacement Note, the maturity date of the Loan Amount was extended to September 15, 2006. The Replacement Note is convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Company at $4.00 per share (subject to adjustment) or, as to up to 50% of the Loan Amount, into securities issued by the Company in a financing with gross proceeds of at least $12,500,000. As the Replacement Note is convertible at a price below the fair market value on the date of issuance, it is deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $912,000. In consideration of the agreement of St. Cloud to accept the Replacement Note, the Company issued to St. Cloud two warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrant Shares”) as follows: a First Warrant for 50,000 shares at $6.00 per share exercisable for a number of New Warrant Shares (each, a “Tranche”) in accordance with the following: 12,500 shares to be vested at Closing and 12,500 shares (or the prorated portion thereof as provided in the Warrant) to be vested on January 1, 2006, April 1, 2006 and July 1, 2006 (a “Vesting Date”); and a Second Warrant for 25,000 shares at $7.50 per share, 6,250 shares to be is vested at Closing and 6,250 shares (or the prorated portion thereof as provided in the Warrant) to be vested on each Vesting Date, provided that the applicable Warrant may not be exercised for a specific Tranche if the Replacement Note is not outstanding on the applicable Vesting Date. The number of New Warrant Shares is proportionally reduced, as of a Vesting Date, if the principal amount of the Note is less than the Loan Amount. The Company determined the Replacement Note resulted in a substantial modification due to the new maturity date and the conversion feature, and in accordance with EITF Issue 96-19, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt, the exchange transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. As such, the relative fair market value was deemed to be fees paid associated with the extinguishment of the old debt instrument and included as debt extinguishment loss to be recognized in the current period.
On June 9, 2006, the Company received approximately $2.4 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $.3 million which the Company expects to close by September 2006. As a condition of this sale, the 10% Note Due 2006 to St Cloud in the principal amount of $2.5 million was restructured as follows: the Company prepaid $50,000 of the existing note and issued to St. Cloud two new notes to replace the exiting note. The first note in the principal amount of $200,000 will be for twelve months with monthly amortization payments at a 10% interest rate; the second note (the first and second notes in aggregate “Notes”) will be for $2,250,000 with interest at 10% per annum with interest only payable on June 30, 2006 and September 15, 2006 and commencing September 16, 2006, payments will be interest only each month through September 15, 2008 and commencing October 15, 2008, monthly amortization payments (based on a five-year amortization) with all interest plus unpaid principal due on September 15, 2011 and the second note will be convertible into shares of the common stock of the Company at $4.00 per share. The Company determined the Notes resulted in a substantial modification since the effective interest rate of the Replacement Note included warrants issued while there were no warrants issued with the Notes resulting in the net present value between the two notes to be greater than 10%, and in accordance with EITF Issue 96-19, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt, the exchange transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. The relative fair market value of the Replacement Note and the Notes were deemed to be equal since the principle and interest of the two notes are equal and therefore there was no gain or loss associated with the extinguishment of the old debt instrument to be recognized in the current period.
24% Notes Due 2006
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 unsecured loans totaling $750,000 due on or before August 31, 2005. Interest is charged at a rate of 2% per month and is payable monthly in arrears. On June 10, 2005 the Company entered into additional Credit Agreements with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union and HIT Credit Union for unsecured loans totaling $250,000 due on or before September 30, 2005. Effective August 31, 2005 the maturity dates of all outstanding unsecured loans with the Lenders were extended to the earlier of the closing of a financing transaction with net proceeds of at least $20 million or March 1, 2006. In consideration of the extension, the Company agreed to issue four year immediately exercisable warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock exercisable at $5.00 per share to SBI Advisors, a related party, as a placement fee. At inception the fair value was determined to be $325,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and applied to the principal as a discount to be accreted over the expected life of the unsecured loans. In connection with the Security Agreement with Laurus, the maturity date of all outstanding unsecured loans with the Lenders were extended to the earlier to occur of (a) the closing of a financing with net proceeds of at least $20,000,000 or (b) August 11, 2006.
On June 9, 2006, the Company received approximately $2.4 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $.3 million which the Company expects to close by September 2006. As a condition of this sale, the 24% Notes Due 2006 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union, PCCW Credit Union and HIT Credit Union were converted into 909,091 shares of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock.
10% Convertible Debentures Due 2008
On September 30, 2005 the Company completed the issuance of an aggregate of $1.5 million in principal amount of 10% Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Gamma Opportunity Capital Partners LP and Bushido Capital Master Fund LP. The Debentures will mature on September 30, 2008 and bear an interest rate of 10% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The Company may make interest payments in cash or shares of its Common Stock, subject, in the case of payment in shares, to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Debentures are immediately convertible to the Company’s Common Stock at the option of the holder. The conversion price is $4.00, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events and certain subsequent equity sales. As the Debentures are convertible at a price below the fair market value on the date of issuance, they are deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $425,000.
In consideration for the issuance of the Debentures, the Company issued five year immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 281,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Of the shares underlying the warrants, 93,750 have an exercise price of $7.50 per share (subject to adjustment) and 187,550 have an exercise price of $6.00 per share. These warrants have a fair value of $1.1 million calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model. These warrants are subject to registration rights requiring the Company to register the underlying shares with the SEC within 120 days of the issuance of the Debentures. In connection with the Security Agreement with Laurus, the registration rights were amended to require the Company to register the underlying shares with the SEC when the Company registers the underlying shares of the Warrant issued with the Security Agreement with Laurus. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the value of the warrants has been recorded as a liability subject to marked-to-market revaluation at each period end. The decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability associated with the 10% Convertible Debentures from December 31, 2005 to June 9, 2006 was $418,000 and is a result of the decrease in the trading value of our stock during this period.
On June 9, 2006, the Company received approximately $2.4 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $.3 million which the Company expects to close by September 2006. As a condition of this sale, the $1.5 million in principal amount of the 10% Convertible Debentures due in 2008 along with accrued but unpaid interest and penalties were converted into 1,400,000 shares of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock. As a result of this transaction, the Company no longer has an obligation to register the underlying shares with the SEC and as such the warrant liability of $271,000 was reclassified to equity. Also, as a result of this conversion, $1,062,000 of unamortized debt discount was charged to interest expense. Per the warrant agreement, because the price per share of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock $1.10 was less than the exercise price of the 93,750 warrants with an exercise price of $7.50 per share and 187,550 warrants with an exercise price of $6.00 per share, the 93,750 and 187,500 warrants were repriced to $1.10 and an additional 1,380,688 warrants were issued at $1.10.

5% Note Due 2006 - Former shareholder
As part of the purchase for SWT Shares on May 20, 2004, the Company entered into a contingent earnout with the former shareholder of Small World Toys. The Company 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. In 2005, the seller earned $673,000 based on the Company obtaining $33.7 million in net sales of which $350,000 was paid in quarterly installments in 2005 and the balance and interest due in 2006 to be paid on a $60,000 per month payment schedule commencing on April 2006 at 10% interest on the unpaid balance. The 2006 earnout is based on 2% of 2006 net sales up to a maximum of $800,000. If the certain sales targets are achieved, as allowed by SFAS 141, “Business Combinations”, the contingent payout of up to a maximum of $800,000 will be considered additional cost of acquiring Small World Toys and recorded as goodwill. Of the 2006 earnout, a minimum quarterly payment of $87,500 will be paid with the balance earned due January 2007.
10% Note Due 2006 - Related Party
Effective 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 provided $175,000 of the total borrowing. The Notes mature one year from the date of execution with interest payable monthly in arrears at a rate of 10% per annum. The Notes are secured by certain Company assets including Receivables, Inventory, Equipment and other assets. The Notes also provide piggyback registration rights in the event the Company files a qualified Registration Statement with the SEC. In consideration for the loans, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 16,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and four year immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest of (a) $4.00 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 million. At inception the fair value of these warrants was determined to be $100,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and applied to the principal as a discount to be accreted as a non-cash interest cost over the life of the loan.
On June 9, 2006, the Company received approximately $2.4 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $.3 million which the Company expects to close by September 2006. As a condition of this sale, the $500,000 in principal amount of the 10% Note due 2006 was converted into 455,000 shares of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock. As a result of this conversion, $15,000 of unamortized debt discount was charged to interest expense.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, aggregate accretion of debt discounts were $888,000 and $1,474,000, respectively and included in interest expense. In addition, as a result of the conversion of $3 million of debt into Class A-1 Preferred Stock on June 9, 2006, $1,077,000 in unamortized debt issuance costs related to the converted debt were recorded as a non-cash expense in June 2006.
NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As part of the purchase for SWT Shares on May 20, 2004, the Company entered into a contingent earnout agreement with the former shareholder of Small World Toys whereby the Company 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, should certain sales targets be achieved in 2005 and 2006 (see Note 7 under 5% Note Due 2006 - Former shareholder).

During the term, David Marshall, Inc. will provide consulting services relating to business plan development, strategic planning, public relations, investor relations, acquisitions and financing activities.
NOTE 10 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.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, there were a total of 14,612,000 and 766,000, respectively, potentially dilutive securities based on outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures during the period reported considered to be anti-dilutive which due to the net loss from operations were not included in the calculations of earnings per share.
NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 9, 2006, the Company received approximately $2.4 million from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $.3 million which the Company expects to close by September 2006. As of August 11, 2006, an additional $50,000 was received from the private placement of Class A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.10 per share and binding commitments for an additional $50,000 which the Company expects to close by September 2006.
On July 26, 2006, Laurus authorized an $750,000 overadvance (amount in excess of the maximum allowed borrowings based on a formula amount of the secured assets) on the Revolving Note based on the following terms:
1. | All funds from the overadvance will be used strictly to fulfill the open orders and current backlog. |
2. | An agreement will be reached within 10 business days to ensure that no principal reductions take place on subordinated debt while the overadvance is outstanding. |
3. | Within 20 business days, Laurus will be provided financial projections, updated detail on backlog and open orders and an analysis of the uses of the first $750,000. |
4. | The company will need to raise new capital of no less than $500,000, excluding amounts already committed to on July 26, 2006. |
Laurus has agreed to increase the overadvance by an additional $750,000 upon the Company receiving an additional $500,000 in new equity or subordinated debt.
No agreement has been finalized as of October 2, 2006 with the subordinated lenders relating to the suspension of principal payments while the overadvance is outstanding. During the period that the overadvance is outstanding, the interest rate will equal two percent (2%) per month of the amount of the overadvance.
SMALL WORLD KIDS, INC.
To The Board Of Directors And Stockholders Of Small World Kids, Inc.
Culver City, Ca
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Small World Kids, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Small World Kids, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Small World Kids, Inc. and Subsidiary and the results of their operations and their cash in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant net losses since its inception, has an accumulated deficit of $ 10,021,600 and used cash for operating activities of $ 2,760,413 during the year ended December 31, 2005.The Company has $4,700,000 in principal debt obligations due in 2006. Failure to obtain additional financing or restructuring the Company’s debt obligations may cause a default on these debt obligations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase revenues, receiving additional financing from outside sources and a return to profitable operations. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

SMALL WORLD KIDS, INC.
NOTE 1 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
As a result of the May 20, 2004 transactions described in the following paragraph, the Company had a change in management, controlling shareholders, financial position and 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.
On October 14, 2005 the Company completed a ten for one (10:1) reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”). As of the date of the Reverse Split, there were 54,105,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding. Immediately after the split there were 5,410,575 Common shares outstanding. Accordingly, all references to units of securities (e.g. shares of Common Stock) or per share amounts are reflective of the Reverse Split for all periods reported.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to prepare its financial statements on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern. As such, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from liquidity uncertainties or any future decisions made with respect to the Company’s strategic alternatives.
We have incurred significant losses since our purchase of Small World Toys in May 2004. As of December 31, 2005, our accumulated deficit was $10,022,000. As of December 31, 2005, we have $4,700,000 in principal payments due in 2006. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our debt obligations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations or that, if we were to be successful in obtaining additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations, it would be on favorable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing or restructuring our debt obligations may cause us to default on these debt obligations. In addition, under cross default provisions in the Laurus Security Agreement, defaults under our debt obligations may cause the acceleration of the repayment of the Revolving and Term Notes. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Management intends to take the following actions (i) reducing operating expenses, (ii) seeking to obtain new equity and (iii) restructuring the debt obligations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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.
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
The Company follows SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” SFAS No. 131 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. We sell developmental toys including over 800 toy products for the baby to approximately 7 years old including blocks, balls, sorters, regular and bilingual puzzles, doll houses and castles with accessories, wooden appliances with bakery, utensil and realistic food replication, dolls and outdoor sports equipment and activites. We have no other segment which meets the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments. Our international sales accounted for 3.2% and 2.3% of our net sales in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
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. We recognize 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, for certain shipments such as direct shipments from our vendors to our customers or where we use consolidators to deliver our products (usually export shipments) revenue is recognized in accordance with the sales terms specified by the respective 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 our 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.
We offer extended terms to some of our customers in the first three quarters of the year by way of sales promotions whereby payment will not become due until the fourth quarter if a specified purchase threshold has been met. This promotion allows us to capture additional shelf space and to capture more of the annual budgets of our retail customers. The result of this promotion gives rise to a significant increase in accounts receivable through the fourth quarter until substantially all accounts become due and are collected. Based upon historically low rates of return and collection of substantially all of these extended term accounts, we have determined that revenue is appropriately recognized in accordance with its normal procedures described above.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and charged to operations within Selling, General and Administrative expenses. Such costs were $137,000 and $129,000 for the years ended December 31 2005 and December 31 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 $3.1 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31 2005 and December 31 2004, respectively.
Barter Transaction
In fiscal year 2004, the Company exchanged $351,000 of excess inventory for advertising, travel and other barter credits valued by the barter provider at the cost of inventory. The Company recorded the barter credits as a prepaid expense at the $351,000 market value of the inventory exchanged. Additionally, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-17, “Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions,” the Company accounted for this transaction as a sale, recording revenue and cost of sales of $351,000 leaving no net impact to income. The Company did not use any credits in 2005 and only $3,000 of barter credits for travel in 2004. Since there are no assurances that the company will utilize these credits before they expire at the end of 2006, the Company has determined that the realizability of the credits can not be assured and therefore has written off the credits in 2005
Foreign Currency and International Operations
The Company has no significant foreign assets. Almost all of our purchases are in US dollar denominations. Our nominal foreign currency transaction exposures include gains and losses realized on unhedged inventory purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the applicable functional currency.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short and Long-Term Investments
For purposes of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, those with original maturities not greater than three months and current maturities less than twelve months from the balance sheet date are considered short-term investments, and those with maturities greater than twelve months from the balance sheet date are considered long-term investments. The Company maintains bank accounts with balances which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on bank deposit accounts. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had cash balances of $524,000, of which individual bank accounts over $100,000 were not insured by the FDIC.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s receivables are recorded when billed and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of the Company’s receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable on a customer-by-customer basis. The Company records a reserve for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to an amount the Company believes will be reasonably collected. The reserve is a discretionary amount determined from the analysis of the aging of the accounts receivables, historical experience and knowledge of specific customers.

Accounts receivable, net | $ | 7,142,141 | | $ | 7,005,764 | |
Inventory
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 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.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as follows: furniture and fixtures, five to seven years; computer hardware and software, three years; leasehold improvements, over the shorter of five years or the lease term. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of all property and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts. Any gain or loss is recognized in the current period. Various accelerated methods are used for tax purposes.
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred, and renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and added to the property and equipment.
Property and equipment consist of the following:
| December 31, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 | |
Computer equipment | $ | 324,436 | | $ | 174,300 | |
Mold cost | | 246,706 | | | 228,332 | |
Warehouse equipment | | 93,249 | | | 65,744 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | 69,930 | | | 56,353 | |
Leasehold improvements | | 96,706 | | | 92,015 | |

Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization | | (339,904 | ) | | (111,685 | ) |
Property and equipment, net | $ | 491,123 | | $ | 505,059 | |
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $228,000 and $174,000 respectively.
Intangible 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.
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 of Small World Toys 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.
The Company also performed an impairment test as of September 2005 for the fair value of the assets acquired from Neurosmith LLC in September 2004. In 2005, the Company sold $1.2 million in Neurosmith products and approximately met the projections used for the valuation of the assets acquired. As such, there is no indication of impairment and no adjustment was required to be made.
Components of the Company’s identifiable amortizable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):
| | December 31, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 | |
| | Gross Carrying Amount | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net | | Gross Carrying Amount | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net | |

Amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $452,000 and $190,000 respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the next five succeeding fiscal years and all years thereafter are as follows:
| | Estimated Amortization Expense | |

Major Vendors
During the year ended December 31, 2005, our top ten suppliers accounted for 64.7% of the total product purchases. The top two suppliers accounted for 11% and 9% of total purchases, respectively. Our tools and dies are located at the facilities of our third-party manufacturers.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, our top ten suppliers accounted for 58% of the total product purchases. The top two suppliers accounted for 10% and 8% of total purchases, 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 the Company 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s net income (loss) the fair value of the Company’s options was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following the weighted average assumptions:
| | Successor | | Predecessor | |
| | Year Ended December 31, 2005 | | May 21 - December 31, 2004 | | January 1 - May 21, 2004 | |
Expected life (in years) | | | 10.0 | | | 10.0 | | | — | |
Expected volatility | | | 108.6 | % | | 111.8 | % | | — | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.0 | % | | 4.0 | % | | | |
Expected dividend | | | — | | | — | | | — | |
The calculations are based on a single option valuation approach and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. During the periods presented, no compensation expense was recorded 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:
| Successor | | Predecessor | |
| | Year Ended December 31, 2005 | | | May 21 - December 31,, 2004 | | | January 1 - May 21, 2004 | |

The Company granted 300,000 stock options to four consultants in the first quarter of 2005 for work to be completed throughout the year. These options were to vest immediately and expire six months from the date of grant. 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 $535,000 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recorded as non-cash compensation expense in the year ended December 30, 2005. 16,000 options were exercised by the consultants in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 at an average exercise price of $5.00. In addition, 140,000 options which had an original expiration date of July 4, 2005 were extended to December 31, 2005 but were cancelled before expiring at year end and the remaining 140,000 options expired unexercised.
The Company also granted 50,000 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 expire three months after the completion or 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 $48,000 related to these options during the year ended 2005.
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 we 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 Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 2). 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 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 our consolidated financial statements. This statement will be effective for our first quarter ending March 31, 2006.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 155"), which amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") and SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We will adopt SFAS 155 on January 1, 2007.
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 our operating results or financial condition.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 153," Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 " (SFAS 153). The standard is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged and eliminates the exception under APB Opinion No. 29 for an exchange of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The standard is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
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 September 15, 2005. We 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.
On September 28, 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in EITF Issue 05-8 ("Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature"): a) The issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes, whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income tax purposes. b) The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount of the liability is recovered or settled. c) Recognition of deferred taxes for the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27 , "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Debt Instruments" (and thus is applicable to debt instruments converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the financial statements). Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements
In September 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05-7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Securities and Related Issues” (“EITF 05-7”). EITF 05-7 addresses that the changes in the fair value of an embedded conversion option upon modification should be included in the analysis under EITF Issue 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” to determine whether a modification or extinguishment has occurred and that changes to the fair value of a conversion option affects the interest expense on the associated debt instrument following a modification. Therefore, the change in fair value of the conversion option should be recognized upon the modification as a discount or premium associated with the debt, and an increase or decrease in additional paid-in capital. EITF 05-7 is effective for all debt modifications in annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus on Issue 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements, which requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. EITF 05-6 is effective for periods beginning after July 1, 2005. We do not expect the provisions of this consensus to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, "The Meaning of `Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument' in EITF Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 05-2"), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered `conventional' for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument's economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2 to new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company does not expect its financial statements to be significantly impacted by this statement.
NOTE 3 INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes using the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes during the year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is “more likely than not” that the related tax benefits will not be realized.
No provision for federal taxes has been provided for year ended 2003 and the period January 1 - May 20, 2004 as the predecessor was a S corporation.

The Company has loss carryforwards of approximately $6,890,000 and 1,566,000 for the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, from continuing operations, which may be used to offset future United States federal taxes, which begin to expire in 2024 and state income taxes, which begin to expire in 2014.
On June 24, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of Imagiix LP (the “Seller”) for $150,000 in cash (excluding transaction expenses) and 50,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common 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 50,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the Seller had a value of $245,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s Common 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 may be earned by the Seller based on sales by the Company of 3% of the products in the Seller’s catalogs and 5% of new products developed by the Seller and future products developed within the Jay Jay the Jet Plane and Garfield product lines and as allowed by SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” and in accordance with paragraph 34, this contingent consideration is considered profit sharing and any additional consideration given shall be recognized as an expense of the appropriate periods. The Company also incurred approximately $35,000 in acquisition related costs which are included in the total purchase price. In addition, the Company paid $20,000 to the Seller as an advance against sales of the Seller’s existing inventory which the Company has 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.
On October 14, 2005, The Company and its newly-formed acquisition subsidiary, Fashion Angels Enterprises, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Fashion Angels”), entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets (the “Purchase Agreement”) with M&G Partners, LLP, a Wisconsin limited liability partnership, d/b/a The Bead Shop (“Seller”), and Mark Miller, Goldi Miller and Myra Mouloudji, the partners of Seller. The Purchase Agreement was amended on January 5, 2006 to extend the closing date to January 16, 2006. Seller designs and manufactures “tween” girl products, including arts and crafts, accessories, dolls and back to school products (the “Business”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Fashion Angels was to purchase all of the assets utilized in connection with the Business and was to assume certain of Seller’s liabilities associated with the Business. On February 17, 2006, M&G Partners, LLP sent notification to the Company that the Purchase Agreement is terminated as the closing did not occur on or before January 16, 2006.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
Small World Toys maintains an asset-based revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank (“PNC) with a maximum asset based borrowing limit of $16.5 million including a Seasonal Advance of $1.5 million and was subsequently repaid on February 28, 2006 with the use of proceeds from the Secured Non-Convertible Revolving Note that the Company entered into with Laurus Master Funds, Ltd. The asset base includes all eligible Receivables and Inventory as defined in the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) dated December 15, 2004. Interest is payable monthly at PNC’s prime rate plus 0.50%. 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. On January 14, 2005, PNC agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to March 14, 2005 increasing the concentration limit for receivables with standard terms owing from the Company’s largest customer from 10% to 25%. On May 12, 2005 the PNC agreed to amended the Credit Agreement to adjust the 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 revert to the original Credit Agreement terms which are 80% from January 1 to June 30, and 85% from July 1 to December 31 until its scheduled expiration on November 30, 2007. Additionally, the amended Credit Agreement requires that repayment of any borrowings under the Seasonal Advance which was repaid in-full in increments of $500,000 each on November 30, 2005, December 15, 2005 and December 31, 2005.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of financial covenants including a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) covenant. The FCCR covenant requires the Company to maintain a ratio of 1:1 of available cash flow from operations to required payments as a result of the Company’s debt obligations. As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s FCCR calculated per the terms of the Credit Agreement was 1:0.02. As a result the Company was in default under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
On February 28, 2006, Small World Kids, Inc. entered into a Secured Non-Convertible Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note Agreement”) with Laurus Master Funds, Ltd. (“Laurus”). Proceeds from the Revolving Note were used to repay funds borrowed under the secured asset-based revolving credit facility with PNC Bank (“PNC”) and the PNC facility was terminated (Note 13 Subsequent Events).
10% Bridge Notes Due 2006 - St Cloud Capital Partners LP
On September 15, 2004, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with St. Cloud Capital Partners L.P. ("St. Cloud"), pursuant to which we issued to St. Cloud a 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000, due September 15, 2005. The Company also was required to pay a closing fee of $80,000 and a management fee of $80,000 to St.Cloud. In connection with the issuance of the note, we issued St. Cloud 650,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 350,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lesser of $.50 per share or the average price of the Put Agreements (Note 7). The warrants expire in September 2008. St.Cloud can elect at its option, but limited to one time, to convert any unpaid principal portion and accrued interest on this note into shares of the Company common stock at the conversion price equal to the average price per share of the Put Agreements for all tranches. The Company has granted certain registration rights whereby the Company agreed to include the common stock and warrants in the registration statement which will be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Put Agreements.
In the first quarter of 2005 the Company reclassified the value of 165,000 shares of stock granted to St. Cloud Capital Partners LP in conjunction with the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) as of 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, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”) and recorded the value of $325,000 as a liability. During the first quarter of 2005, based upon further information and analysis of the Agreement, the Company reclassified the amount as it was determined that the Shares granted are more appropriately classified as equity.
On July 20, 2005 the Company amended the Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which St. Cloud agreed to advance to the Company an additional $500,000 for an aggregate loan of $2.5 million at an interest rate of 10% per annum payable monthly in arrears. The aggregate loan is secured by certain Company assets including Receivables, Inventory, Equipment and other assets. In consideration for the advance, the Company issued to St. Cloud an additional 16,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and four year immediately exercisable warrants for the right to acquire 8,750 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock. The aggregate Warrants underlying 43,750 shares of Common Stock are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest of (a) $4.00 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 million. The Amendment also provides piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares in the event the Company files a qualified Registration Statement with the SEC. At inception the fair value of these warrants was determined to be $120,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and applied to the principal as a discount to be accreted over the life of the loan.
In addition, as a result of the termination of the Put Agreements, the Notes no longer have registration obligations. As such, the Company has reclassified the $115,000 fair market value of those September 15, 2004 warrants issued in conjunction with the Notes initially classified as a liability to permanent equity in accordance with SFAS 150 and EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock (“EITF 00-19”).
On November 11, 2005, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Agreement with St. Cloud pursuant to which the Company issued to St. Cloud a new promissory note (the “Replacement Note”) replacing the existing note to St. Cloud in the principal amount of $2,500,000 (the “Loan Amount”). Under the Replacement Note, the maturity date of the Loan Amount was extended to September 15, 2006. The Replacement Note is convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Company at $4.00 per share (subject to adjustment) or, as to up to 50% of the Loan Amount, into securities issued by the Company in a financing with gross proceeds of at least $12,500,000. As the Replacement Note is convertible at a price below the fair market value on the date of issuance, it is deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $912,000. In consideration of the agreement of St. Cloud to accept the Replacement Note, the Company issued to St. Cloud two warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrant Shares”) as follows: a First Warrant for 50,000 shares at $6.00 per share exercisable for a number of New Warrant Shares (each, a “Tranche”) in accordance with the following: 12,500 shares to be vested at Closing and 12,500 shares (or the prorated portion thereof as provided in the Warrant) to be vested on January 1, 2006, April 1, 2006 and July 1, 2006 (a “Vesting Date”); and a Second Warrant for 25,000 shares at $7.50 per share, 6,250 shares to be is vested at Closing and 6,250 shares (or the prorated portion thereof as provided in the Warrant) to be vested on each Vesting Date, provided that the applicable Warrant may not be exercised for a specific Tranche if the Replacement Note is not outstanding on the applicable Vesting Date. The number of New Warrant Shares is proportionally reduced, as of a Vesting Date, if the principal amount of the Note is less than the Loan Amount. The Company determined the Replacement Note resulted in a substantial modification due to the new maturity date and the conversion feature and accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force EITF Issue 96-19 Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt, the exchange transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. As such, the relative fair market value were deemed to be fees paid associated with the extinguishment of the old debt instrument and included as debt extinguishment loss to be recognized in the current period. The relative fair value of these warrants was determined to be $231,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
10% Bridge Notes Due 2006 - Strome Hedgecap Ltd Bridge Notes
On September 16, 2004, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Strome Hedgecap Ltd. ("Strome"), pursuant to which we issued to Strome a 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate amount of $1,200,000, due September 16, 2005. The Company also was required to pay a closing fee of $96,000 to Strome. In connection with the issuance of the Note we issued Strome warrants to purchase 1,344,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the lesser of $.50 per share or the average price of the Put Agreements (Note 7). The warrants expire in September 2008. The Company has granted certain registration rights whereby the Company agreed to include the common stock and warrants in the registration statement which may be filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with the Put Agreements. On October 3, 2005 the Company obtained additional funding through the issuance of $1.5 million in 10% Convertible Debentures and retired the $1.2 million Bridge Notes.
In addition, as a result of the termination of the Put Agreements, the 10% Convertible Promissory Note no longer had registration obligations. As such, the Company has reclassified the $395,000 fair market value of those September 16, 2004 warrants issued in conjunction with this note initially classified as a liability to permanent equity in accordance with SFAS 150 and EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock (“EITF 00-19”).
24% Notes Due 2006
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 unsecured loans totaling $750,000 due on or before August 31, 2005. Interest is charged at a rate of 2% per month and is payable monthly in arrears. On June 10, 2005 the Company entered into additional Credit Agreements with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union and HIT Credit Union for unsecured loans totaling $250,000 due on or before September 30, 2005. Effective August 31, 2005 the maturity dates of all outstanding unsecured loans with the Lenders were extended to the earlier of the closing of a financing transaction with net proceeds of at least $20 million or March 1, 2006. In consideration of the extension, the Company agreed to issue four year immediately exercisable warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock exercisable at $5.00 per share to SBI Advisors, a related party, as a placement fee. At inception the fair value was determined to be $325,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and applied to the principal as a discount to be accreted over the expected life of the unsecured loans.
10% Convertible Debentures Due 2008
On September 30, 2005 the Company completed the issuance of an aggregate of $1.5 million in principal amount of 10% Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Gamma Opportunity Capital Partners LP and Bushido Capital Master Fund LP. The Debentures will mature on September 30, 2008 and bear an interest rate of 10% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The Company may make interest payments in cash or shares of its Common Stock, subject, in the case of payment in shares, to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Debentures are immediately convertible to the Company’s Common Stock at the option of the holder. The conversion price is $4.00, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events and certain subsequent equity sales. As the Debentures are convertible at a price below the fair market value on the date of issuance, they are deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $425,000.
In consideration for the issuance of the Debentures, the Company issued five year immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 281,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Of the shares underlying the warrants, 93,750 have an exercise price of $7.50 per share (subject to adjustment) and 187,550 have an exercise price of $6.00 per share. These warrants have a fair value of $1.1 million calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model. These warrants are subject to registration rights requiring the Company to register the underlying shares with the SEC within 120 days of the issuance of the Debentures. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the value of the warrants has been recorded as a liability subject to mark-to-market revaluation at each period end.
In connection with the Debentures the Company paid a success fee (including expenses) of $165,000 and issued five year immediately exercisable warrants to purchase 37,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share to Cambria Capital LLC (“Cambria”) in connection with the placement of the Debentures.
The cumulative value of the beneficial conversion feature, the warrants and the cash fee paid capped at $1.5 million was recorded as a discount to the debt issuance to be amortized over the life of the loan.
10% Note Due 2009 - SWT LLC - Conversion
On August 11, 2005 the Company converted the $5 million Bridge Note dated May 21, 2004 issued to SWT, LLC, a related party, to 10% Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock is immediately convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s Common Stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $4.00 subject to adjustment based on the terms of future financings should they occur. The Preferred Stock accrues a quarterly dividend at a rate of 10% per annum and is payable in cash or a combination of 50% cash and 50% Common Stock at the Company’s option. The Company also issued three year immediately exercisable warrants to purchase 204,082 shares of the Company’s Common Stock exercisable at $4.90 per share. In addition, the Preferred Stock has a beneficial conversion feature which allows the holders to acquire Common Stock of the Company at an effective conversion price of approximately $1.00 below fair value at the date of issuance. In accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, the Company has determined the intrinsic value of this in-the-money conversion feature accounted for it and the warrants as a discount to the Preferred Stock. The fair market value of the warrants and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be approximately $2.2 million. As the Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, the full value of both the conversion feature and the warrants are deemed a dividend upon issuance and as such have been recorded directly to retained earnings.
5% Note Due 2005 & 2006 - Former shareholder
As part of the purchase for SWT Shares on May 20, 2004, the Company entered into a contingent earnout with the former shareholder of Small World Toys.

NOTE 9: 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 that were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method.
The Company had no dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 due to the Company having a net loss for each year.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, the predecessor had no dilutive securities since there were no outstanding options or warrants.
NOTE 10: PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Company has a qualified 401(k) profit sharing plan in effect for eligible employees. The plan provides for pre-tax employee contributions.

Item 28. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
