Risk Factors
Investing in our securities will provide you with an equity ownership interest in Brainytoys Ltd. As one of our shareholders, your investment will be subject to risks inherent in our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In that event, the trading price of our shares might decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the following factors as well as other information contained in this registration statement before deciding to invest in shares of our securities. Additional risks that are not currently known to us or that we deem immaterial may also harm us and the value of your investment. An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. When evaluating an investment in our shares or business and product opportunities investors should carefully review and consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this Registration Statement on Form 20-F.
Risks Related to Our Business
Brainytoys Ltd and its subsidiary operates in rapidly changing environments that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and which could have a material effect on our business, revenues, operating results and financial condition. The following points highlight some, although not all, of these risks and uncertainties.
Product Sales and Development
The Company can make no representations that any of its product development and commercialisation will be successful; that the Company’s development milestones will be achieved; or that the Company will develop further products that are commercially exploitable. Projects can be delayed or fail, or product/market development may cease to be viable for a range of unexpected commercial reasons.
Exchange Rate Risk
As the Company’s potential earnings may be derived from international markets, changes in the Australian or US dollar exchange rate may impact on the earnings of the Company. The exchange rate is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.
Economic and Government Risks
The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the toys and games industry, including but not limited to the following:
·
general economic conditions in US, Australia, and overseas markets;
·
changes in government policies, taxation and other laws;
·
the strength of the equity and share markets throughout the world;
·
movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates; and
·
natural disasters, social upheaval or war.
Additional Requirements for Capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from the products it develops, the Company may require further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and reduce its development programmes as the case may be.
Intellectual Property Rights
Securing and protecting rights to intellectual property, and in particular to patents, trademarks and copyrights, is highly problematic in the toys and games industry. Accordingly, the best protection for the Company to avoid infringements in international markets is to expedite the development and sale of the Company’s products.
7
The granting of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed or that competitors will not develop competing intellectual property that circumvents such patents. The Company’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.
Because the patent positions of companies in the toys and games industry can be highly uncertain and frequently involve complex legal evaluation, neither the breadth of claims allowed in such patents nor their enforceability can be predicted. There can be no assurance that any patents that the Company may own or control or license now and in the future will afford the Company commercially significant protection of its intellectual property or its projects, or have commercial application.
While the Company is not aware of any third party interests in its intellectual property rights, and it will take steps to protect and confirm its interest in these rights, there is always a risk of third parties claiming an interest in the intellectual property of the Company and, if any such disputes arise, they could adversely affect the Company.
Reliance on Key Personnel, and Need to Attract Qualified Staff
The loss of any one or more of the Directors, in particular, Mr. Aguero, could have an adverse impact on the performance and the prospects of the Company.
The Company is also reliant on its management, as well as outsourced manufacturing suppliers and distributors, the loss of whose services could materially and adversely affect the Company and impede the achievements of its commercialisation objectives.
Because of the specialised nature of the Company’s business, its ability to commercialise its products will depend in part upon its ability to attract and retain suitably qualified management, and third party suppliers and distributors over time.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain sufficiently qualified personnel on a timely basis, retain its key management personnel, or maintain its relationship with key suppliers and distributors.
Risk and Product Liability, and Uninsured Risks
The Company’s business exposes it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the research and development, manufacturing, marketing, and use of its products. In the course of maintaining its business, it will be necessary for the Company to secure sufficient levels of insurance to cover various product liability risks. However, there can be no assurance that adequate or necessary insurance coverage will be available at an acceptable cost or in sufficient amounts. If at all, or that product liability or other claims would not materially and adversely affect the business or financial condition of the Company.
Uncertainty on Future Profitability
The Company’s ability to operate profitably in the future will depend on its ability to commercialise its products with other organisations on commercial terms. This will depend on the ultimate demand for its products by consumers, which cannot be guaranteed. There is no certainty therefore that the Company can successfully commercialise its projects.
Other factors that will determine the Company’s profitability are its ability to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies, economic conditions in the markets the Company operates, competitive factors and regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve a sustained profitability is uncertain. Moreover, the level of such profitability cannot be predicted.
Industry Risks
The Company’s current and future potential competitors include companies with substantially greater resources than it. There is no assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing products that are more effective or
8
economic than the current products or any of those being developed by the Company, or which would render the products obsolete and/or otherwise uncompetitive. In addition, the Company may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors where aggressive pricing policies are employed to capture market share. Such competition could result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect the company’s future business, operating results and financial position.
Potential Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in complementary companies, products or technologies, although no such acquisitions or investments are currently planned. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies.
Changes to Accounting Standards
For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the Company must comply with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These changes will affect the way certain items are reported in the Company’s financial statements. The most significant changes to accounting treatment under IFRS as it applies to the Company are provided in the notes to the Financial Statements herein.
Investment Speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the securities offered.
Therefore, the Company’s shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.
Company’s Officers and Directors Resident Outside US; Potential Unenforceability of Civil Liabilities and Judgments
The Company and all of its officers and all of its directors are residents of countries other than the United States. Most of the Company’s assets are located outside the United Stares. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgements obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.
The Company believes that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States securities laws would probably be enforceable in Australia if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognised by an Australian court for such purposes. However, there is doubt whether an action could be brought in Australia in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such laws.
As a foreign private issuer we do not have to provide you with the same information as an issuer of securities based in the U.S.:
Because we are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, commonly referred to as the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of that law that are applicable to U.S. public companies, including (i) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a registered security; and (iii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time. Thus, you are not afforded the same protections or information, which would be made available to you, were you investing in a U.S. public corporation.
9
In accordance with the requirements of the Australian Stock Exchange, we disclose annual and semi-annual results. Our annual results are fully audited and our semi-annual results undergo a limited review by our independent auditors. We also endeavor to immediately disclose in the public media and to the Australian Stock Exchange all information which may have an effect on our stock price. We also disclose other relevant information pertaining to our company as required by Australian Stock Exchange regulations applicable to listed companies. We will provide our semi-annual results and other material information that we make public in Australia in the U.S. under the cover of SEC Form 6-K. Nevertheless, this information may not be the same or as much information as would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. public corporation.
Risks related to our common stock:
Stock Volatility
The market price of Brainytoys shares has experienced fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate significantly. The market price of Brainytoys shares may be adversely affected by various factors, including enforcement of existing laws, innovation and technological changes, the emergence of new competitors, quarterly variations in revenue and results of operations, speculation in the press or analyst community and general market conditions or market conditions specific to particular industries, including the toys and games industry.
THERE IS A LIMITED MARKET FOR BRAINYTOYS SHARES WHICH MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO DISPOSE OF YOUR SHARES
Brainytoys shares have been quoted on the ASX under the symbol “BRT” since March 24th, 2005. There is a limited trading market for Brainytoys shares. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for its common stock, the ability of holders of Brainytoys shares to sell its shares, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell Braintyoys shares.
BRAINYTOYS HISTORIC STOCKPRICE HAS BEEN VOLATILE AND THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR SHARES MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE. FURTHER, THE LIMITED MARKET FOR BRAINYTOYS SHARES WILL MAKE ITS PRICE MORE VOLATILE. THIS MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO SELL BRAINYTOYS SHARES FOR A POSITIVE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT.
Penny Stock Rules
As Brainytoys’ shares are subject to the US “Penny Stock” Rules, investors who purchase Brainytoys’ shares may have difficulty re-selling their shares as the liquidity of the market for Brainytoys’ shares may be adversely affected by the impact of the “Penny Stock” Rules.
Although Brainytoys’ stock is not currently deemed “penny stock”, its stock may be subject to US “Penny Stock” Rules in the future, which may make the stock more difficult to trade on the open market. Brainytoys’ common shares have traded on the ASX since March 24, 2005. For further details on the market performance of Brainytoys’ shares, see “Item 9A.” A “penny stock” is generally defined by regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an equity security with a market price of less than US$5.00 per share. However, an equity security with a market price under US$5.00 will not be considered a penny stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions:
(i)
the equity security is listed on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange;
(ii)
the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for less than three years, and either has (a) net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,000, or (b) average annual revenue of at least US$6,000,000; or
(iii)
the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for more than three years, and has net tangible assets of at least US$2,000,000.
If an investor buys or sells a penny stock, SEC regulations require that the investor receive, prior to the transaction, a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and associated risk. Furthermore, trading in Brainytoys’ common
10
stock is currently subject to rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend Brainytoys’ securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if their market price is at least $5.00 per share.
In the event Brainytoys’ stock is deemed to be penny stock in the future, penny stock regulations will tend to reduce market liquidity of Brainytoys’ common stock, because they limit the broker/dealers’ ability to trade, and a purchaser’s ability to sell, the stock in the secondary market.
The low price of Brainytoys’ shares has a negative effect on the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual shareholders. The low price of Brainytoys’ common stock also limits Brainytoys’ ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal policies of certain institutional investors prohibit the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers from dealing in low-priced stocks. Finally, brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, Brainytoys’ shareholders may pay transaction costs that are a higher p ercentage of their total share value than if Brainytoys’ share price was substantially higher.
The rules described above concerning penny stocks may adversely affect the market liquidity of Brainytoys’ securities. Brainytoys believes its shares will likely continue to be thinly-traded and that its stock is a “penny stock” as its tangible assets are less than US$2 million. For more information about penny stocks, contact the Office of Filings, Information and Consumer Services of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, or by telephone at (202) 272-7440.

INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY
A.
History and Development of the Company
The Company was incorporated in the State of New South Wales, Australia on May 5, 1980 under the name Bevona Pty Ltd. Thereafter, the Company changed its name on July 10, 1980 to Speedy Wheels (Aust) Pty Ltd; on November 18, 1986 to Speedy Wheels Ltd; on September 5, 1999 to Auto Enterprises Ltd; and, finally, on November 4, 2004 to Brainytoys Limited.
.
Brainytoys is headquartered in Perth, Australia and employs six full time professional and support staff, and, at times, contracts selected specialist staff and consultants as needed.
The principal office of the Company is located at 6B Bowen Street, O’Connor, Western Australia, Australia 6163 and its telephone number is (61) 8 9331 8441.
The Company, under the name Speedy Wheels Ltd and then Auto Enterprises Limited, listed on the Official List of the Australian Stock Exchange Limited (“ASX”) beginning in 1987, but was suspended from quotation in 1999. On October 15, 2004, Auto Enterprises acquired 100% of the issued capital of Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd. in consideration for the issue of shares for a value of approximately $2.2 million to vendors associated with the Brainytoys business founder, Mr..

As a result of the acquisition of Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd, the development and commercialization of the existing and future Brainytoys range of products became the Company’s main focus. Since that time, approximately $3.5 million of new capital has been raised and applied toward product development.

Brainytoys currently has in excess of 50 products developed, or under development, at a cost of $3 million over the past three years. Most of these products are expected to be released to the market in calendar year 2007.* Up to this point no product sales have occurred since business commencement.
* Products being released fromApril 1, 2007.
Marketing and Licensing
Brainytoys has entered into a number of agreements with three key distribution partners in Australia, USA and Europe. These agreements will give Brainytoys the potential to reach up to 20,000+ independent and mass market retail stores across almost all key world markets. One of the key elements of its marketing model is to consummate licensing agreements for significant brands in most major markets covered by its distribution partners. This will help to facilitate rapid market penetration. Major brand licensing arrangements have been finalized in Australasia for the Wiggles and Thomas the Tank Engine, both top-tier brands in the pre-school super-category.
In April and May 2006 Brainytoys made three important announcements regarding manufacturing, distribution and marketing agreements entered into with Hong Kong-based Enertec Enterprises Limited (Enertec), USA-based Reveal Entertainment Inc. (Reveal) and Australian/NZ-based Modern Brands Pty Ltd (Modern Brands).In December 2006 and January 2007 Brainytoys entered into Licensing agreements in relation to the United States market with Dreamworks Animation ( Bees Movie ),Porchlight Entertainment Inc (Jay Jay the Jet Plane ),Classic Media Inc ( Little Golden Books ) and Wiggles International Pty Ltd ( the Wiggles ).
These are major milestones in Brainytoys’ development as these agreements offer marketing and distribution channels for the Issuer’s products to a very large number of retail outlets in key world markets.
In aggregate terms, the potential number of outlets for Brainytoys’ products - which Enertec, Reveal and Modern Brands currently market and distribute to - is over 20,000 specialty and mass market retail stores.
These specialty and mass market retail stores are located in Brainytoys’ primary geographical markets, which together account for approximately 80% of worldwide toys and games sales, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, France, Germany, other European countries and Central and South America.
Subject to the final approval of a number of products currently being developed - using licensed properties, as per the announcement of the developmental partnership with Modern Brands - Brainytoys expects to deliver over 50 products to its distribution partners in the coming twelve months commencing in January 2007. The anticipated sales may show seasonal consumer market influences such as the Christmas festive season.

Licensing Generally
Licensed toy and game products represent 30%+ of the toy industry (Source: NPD Market Reports) and is therefore a significant market that Brainytoys must engage.
12
Accounting for approximately US$2.6 billion in royalty revenue in North America alone, entertainment licensing is big business (Source: Video Age International).
Licensing, in the Brainytoys context, relates to the use of movie, TV, and published or other branded property that can be used to enhance a toy or game’s appeal.
Nearly all the products developed by Brainytoys have significant potential to use licensed properties.
Brainytoys is already developing products with licensed properties, as indicated in the Modern Brands agreement announcement in May this year.
In order to engage with this market Brainytoys announced, in June 13 2006, the appointment of USA-based Mr. Rand Brenner as a specialist Licensing and Marketing executive consultant.
Mr. Brenner will help the Issuer spearhead the expansion of licensed property product development. He has over 20 years of marketing experience marked by licensing and promotion agreements with such Fortune 1000 companies as Hasbro, Bandai America, Hewlett Packard, Kellogg’s, Quaker Oats, Pepsi and others.
Holding executive positions at Saban Entertainment and Warner Bros., he was largely responsible for the licensing success of such entertainment properties as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Batman movies and Looney Tunes.
He also managed the advertising of such brands as Mattel's Hot Wheels at Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, as well as Yamaha electronics, Toshiba computers and Host International Restaurants at NW Ayer Advertising.
Mr. Brenner has a BA in Advertising from California State University in San Jose and an MBA from Pepperdine University.

Product Categories
Brainytoys has identified a number of opportunities in the toys and games markets, and has focused development on products for the following segments:
| |
Hand-held LCD electronic games | Construction kits |
Electronic toys | Activity kits |
Electronic mobile toys | Educational products and toys |
Die cast vehicles | Computer animation and multimedia programs |
Board games | Web/Mobile phone content |
Novelty/collectable/characters | Plush toys and dolls |
Brainytoys believes that it has the ability to combine a unique number of elements that will advance the Issuer’s success. These are:
·
innovative products that bring new twists to existing toy categories;
·
management and technical skills;
·
leading volume manufacturing and marketing relationships; and
·
an understanding of the marketing dynamics and culture of the toys and games industry.
The Issuer’s management philosophy is to adopt a prudent and risk-averse approach to:
13
·
specific product development, by containing product development costs to a maximum of approximately $100,000 for each product;
·
manufacturing and inventory holdings, through the use of contract manufacturing (China and Hong Kong based) and by matching purchase and sales orders from distributors and licensees, thereby virtually eliminating Issuer owned inventories; and
·
product development strategy, through the development of a multi-segment product range ensuring that the Issuer’s success is not tied to the performance of any single product.
In order to commercialize its products, the Issuer is endeavoring to:
·
manufacture and market its products directly to distributors; and
·
use licensing arrangements with major brand names.
The operational matrix of the business includes:
·
develop a product concept;
·
evaluate potential for further development;
·
develop a prototype;
·
present prototype to distributors and obtain feedback;
·
develop marketing profile for product; and
·
sell the product worldwide via distributor partners.
It is anticipated that this development cycle will take from three to twelve months for most products in development.
·
Technology
Brainytoys has expertise in computer-assisted product development processes.
Powerful new computer tools can now be applied to many areas in the product development cycle.
Combining this technology with the availability of low-cost manufacturing opportunities is assisting the Issuer’s ability to develop products in a timely and cost effective manner.
These technology tools include:
·
3D visualization software - for the creation of “virtual” models of the product so that the functional and cosmetic elements can be visualized and assessed before the product is actually built.
·
3D printers - this technology is closely allied to the 3D visualization software listed above, but goes one step by enabling the creation of actual physical product prototypes, derived from 3D designs, in a matter of hours using devices that are no bigger than a large photocopier.
·
3D animation tools - broadcast-quality 3D animation tools are now widely available at low cost. Combining these tools with the low cost of computing power allows Brainytoys to develop 3D animation dynamic displays of its products, and also 3D animation cartoon programs to support the marketing of its products.
Brainytoys use of this technology is enabling the Issuer to develop products in short time frames, thereby reducing cost and accelerating the product-to-market cycle.
·
Multimedia Product Extension
In its development processes, Brainytoys makes extensive use of software design tools and, specifically, 3D “virtual” design graphic and animation technologies. In effect, this means that Brainytoys’ design skill set is the same as that required for the development of computer games and other software related products.
14
Brainytoys has determined that the Issuer has substantial opportunities to extend some of its current physical toy and game product lines into these “virtual” media segments as well as developing a number of new products. For example, Brainytoys’ hand-held electronic games and board games could be developed as computer or mobile phone games.
These other media formats include:
·
3D Animation movies/cartoon series;
·
Computer games;
·
Internet/Web games and content;
·
Mobile phone games and content;
Brainytoys is aggressively pursuing these opportunities as they have the potential to deliver significant value to the Issuer.
Brainytoys has already initiated high level discussions with a number of substantial companies in Australia, the US and China to develop these opportunities further.
·
Global Markets
The toys and games industry is a substantial world industry generating an estimated US$59 billion in annual sales, with the North American market generating approximately US$21 billion in sales. (Sources: US Department of Commerce 2005 Report/NDP 2004/5 State of Industry Report)
The toys and games markets are constantly searching for innovative products, and are relatively resilient in economic terms, able to ride out most economic cycles.
One of the most interesting features of these markets is that nearly every “blockbuster” toy or game launched over the last 50 years has been brought forward by independent inventors and small companies.
The Issuer is especially focused in developing potential blockbuster products.
With its projected production of 20 to 30 new products each year the prospects of achieving such products will be significantly improved.
In order to remain competitive, most of the big toys and games companies license products from other smaller companies and inventors.

The Company has only one subsidiary, Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd, which is wholly owned by the Company and holds nominal intellectual properties.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following information should be read in conjunction with Brainytoys audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are prepared in accordance with Australian International Financial Reporting Standards (“Australian IFRS”), included elsewhere in this Form 20-F. All amounts are expressed in Australian dollars unless otherwise indicated. The summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in Note 1 explains the diference between Australian IFRS and US GAAP and this discussion of results of operations and liquidity and capital resources.
The Company acquired 100% of Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd on 15th October 2004 in consideration for the issue to Alex Aguero of 7,190,600 shares (post capital reconstruction) and a cash payment of $25,000. A further payment in consideration for the completion of the capital raising and relisting was made in March 2005 to the vendor – this comprised 5 million shares and 2.5 million options and a cash payment of $50,000. As such, the strategic direction of the Company changed from an investment company to a toy and game development company. Refer to note 15 in the financial statements for full details of the acquisition.
To assist with the acquisition of Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd, a total of 6,734,000 shares at 15 cents were issued as seed capital to raise a total of $1,010,100. each of the seed capital investors received 1 option for every 2 shares acquired, resulting in 3,367,000 options being issued.
The Company lodged a prospectus dated 9 December 2004 for the offer of 8,750,000 shares at an issue price of 20 cents each to raise a total of $1,750,000, together with up to 2,187,500 free attaching options on a one for four basis.
Since the Company’s acquisition on October 15, 2004 and listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) on March 24, 2005, it has significantly advanced its business model as an innovative developer and wholesaler of contract manufactured toys and games products for world markets, however, in the process has incurred losses of $4.3 million reflecting a write down of virtually all product outlays and acquisition carrying values. The past two years business activities have been focussed upon developing:
(i)
an extensive suite of products to release to the market;
(ii)
investing in and establishing the necessary production technology infrastructure to develop products; and
(iii)
arranging worldwide distribution networks for the product;
(iv)
negotiating or assisting distributors in the procurement of appropriate brand licences; and
(v)
arranging the accessing of contract manufacturers.
16
The process has taken appreciably longer than anticipated, and has involved an outlay of approximately $5 million over the past 2.5 years. In the process the Board of Directors has changed significantly, with the recent appointment of directors who share management’s strategic vision and had earlier been largely responsible for arranging the requisite capital.
The Company is now strategically well positioned to success for its business model:
(a)
the scheduled release of approximately 10 completed products over the next six months and potentially a further 50 products over the 2007 calendar year.
(b)
the formation of a distribution network enabling retail access to potentially 20,000 new outlets, and
(c)
the recent arrangement of $1.33 million in new capital raisings through an underwritten rights issue of $454,345, a placement to raise $100,000 and an $800,000 secured convertible loan note facility to be drawn down as and when required as to $700,000 ,and a placement to raise $80,000.
In the absence of the expected significant cash inflow arising from product sales the facility ensures that the Company has sufficient liquidity reserves for at least a further 12 months.

A.
Operating Results
2005 and 2006
The consolidated entity (including the parent and its wholly owned subsidiary) revenues for the financial years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 were $127,441 and $32,192 respectively, representing interest income.
The consolidated entity’s losses for the financial years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 were $744,705 and $3,542,858 respectively.
The losses reflect the inclusion of a 2,198,063 Impairment of Intellectual Property asset write down. No product development expenditure items have been capitalized. The remaining increase in losses for the period was largely attributable to the conduct of a scaled up research and development program, higher people and other general costs. As there was no firm sales contracts locked in as of 30 June 2006, this triggered the writedown of intellectual property under IFRS.
6 Months Ended December 31, 2006 ( Unaudited )
The Company has continued to incur final product development and manufacturing costs in relation to several products to be released to the market at the commencement of the June quarter.
The economic entity is expected to incur losses of approximately $600,000 for the period. Thereafter, the financial position is expected to be improved upon later in the Financial Year.
External Influences - Inflation, foreign Currency Fluctuation, Economic, governmental and political
During the periods in question none of the above considerations impacted upon or influenced the outcome of the Company’s results.
B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this filing, the Company had cash reserves of approximately $200,000. We have financed our operations primarily through a series of private placements of equity securities and debt issuances as described in the following list:

·
8.750,000 common shares issued for $0.20 per share cash pursuant to a public prospectus dated December 9, 2004 to raise $1,750,000

The Issuer has drawn down on 1 convertible note issued at $100,000 which is convertible to 1,666,666 common shares at $0.06 per share
·
1,000,000 common shares issued for $0.08 per share pursuant to a placement to Upton Holdings Pty Ltd
18
In the absence of any expected cash inflow arising from product sale during the ensuing financial year the Company is expected (through a drawdown of the note facility) to have sufficient cash resources to sustain its operation through to October 2007. Notwithstanding that the Company is anticipating an appreciable cash inflow for the ensuing financial year and will only draw down the remaining $700,000 Noble undrawn facility on an as required basis.
The Company does not currently have, nor is it proposing to have, any borrowings aside from the Noble facility which through the date of this filing is $100,000.
C.
Research and Development, Patents and License
Following the acquisition on October 15, 2004 of Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd, the Company’s business has been exclusively directed to the research and development (“R & D”) of:
(i)
a high technology consumer market software focussed methodology for introducing products to the toys and games sector; and
(ii)
up to 68 toys and games products.
By September 30, 2006 Brainytoys will have expended almost $5.5 million in R&D and acquisition costs, an investment it expects to start recouping during the balance of the 2007 Financial Year.

Summary of Constitution
1.
The Company was incorporated in the State of New South Wales, Australia on May 5, 1980 under the name Bevona Pty Ltd. Following several name changes, the Company approved a name change from Auto Enterprises Limited to Brainytoys Limited.
2.
(a)
a director who has a material interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of the directors must not vote on the matter and must not be present while the matter is being considered at the meeting, except where the material interest is an interest that the director has as a shareholder of the Company and in common with the other shareholders of the Company;
(b)
directors remuneration may only be varied by ordinary resolution of the shareholders in general meeting;
31
(c)
the directors may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not required to be exercised by the Company in general meeting, including the borrowing of money;
(d)
there is no age limit requirement for the retirement or non-retirement of directors; and
(e)
a director is not required to hold shares in the Company.
3.
Generally, in relation to the rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of shares, the allotment and issue of any new shares is under the control of the directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the directors may issue shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
(a)
the Directors may from time to time declare and pay or credit a dividend, payable only from profits, in accordance with the Corporations Act. Subject to any special right as to dividends attaching to a share, all dividends will be declared and paid according to the proportion of the amount paid to the total amount paid and payable in respect of the Shares. All dividends unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed;
(b)
at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

each shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

(iii)
on a poll, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a shareholder shall, in respect of each share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share;
Directors retire by rotation, one-third at each annual general meeting, and are eligible for re-election. There is no element of cumulative voting to effect this arrangement.
(c)
in addition to dividend rights (above at 3a.) shareholders may also share in the Company’s profits by way of capitalization of profits – paying up partly or in full unpaid amounts on shares and paying up partly or in full unissued shares;
(d)
if the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability;
(e)
the Company may purchase its own shares on such terms and at such times as may be determined by the directors from time to time;

(h)
the Constitution does not contain any provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of that shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.

5.
A public company must hold an annual general meeting once each calendar year and within 5 months after the end of the financial year. The annual general meeting and extraordinary meetings of shareholders are held at such times and places as the board of directors shall determine, or by holders of not less than 5% of the securities issued by the Company who request that the directors call a meeting. Notices of meetings are sent out to shareholders not less than 28 days before the date of such meeting and shareholders of the Company are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at, all meetings of shareholders.
6.
Each shareholder with a registered address outside Australia acknowledges the Company may arrange for a nominee to dispose of any of its entitlement to participate in any issue of shares or share options by the Company to its shareholders.
7.
The Constitution does not contain a provision in relation to a change in control of the Company.

D.
Exchange Controls
Exchange Controls and other limitations affecting security holders:
Australia has largely abolished exchange controls on investment transactions. The Australian dollar is freely convertible into US dollars except that all payments and cash transactions in excess of $5,000 to non-residents must be reported to the Australian Cash Transactions Agency, which monitors such transactions, whether they are in the form of cash, dividends, capital or profits.
The Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act (“Foreign Acquisitions Act”) sets forth limitations on the rights of non-Australian residents to own or vote the ordinary shares of an Australian company. The Foreign Acquisitions Act permits the Commonwealth Treasurer to examine acquisitions and arrangements that could result in foreign persons controlling an Australian business. The Commonwealth Treasurer may prohibit a proposed takeover if it would lead to a change of control of a business where the resultant control would be foreign and therefore considered to be against the national interest. The Foreign Acquisitions Act contains divestiture provisions to ensure it can be enforced, as well as, stringent monetary-penalty provisions for breaches and the making of false or misleading statements.
34
The Foreign Acquisitions Act requires the prior approval of the Commonwealth Treasurer for certain classes of persons to enter into an agreement to acquire shares of an Australian company, if, after the acquisition, such person or corporation would hold a substantial interest in such corporation, as explained herein. The foregoing approval requirement applies to the following classes of persons: (i) any natural person not ordinarily resident in Australia, (ii) any corporation in which either a natural person not ordinarily resident in Australia or a foreign corporation (as defined in the Foreign Acquisitions Act) holds a substantial interest, and (iii0 two or more such persons or corporations which hold an aggregate substantial interest.
The Foreign Acquisitions Act requires foreign persons or foreign-controlled entities to give forty (40) days notice to the Commonwealth Treasurer of a proposal to acquire or increase (or offer to acquire or increase) a single interest of 15% or more of the ownership or voting power of an Australian company. If two or more foreign persons or foreign-controlled entities are acting together, the threshold is 40% in the aggregate.
The Constitution of the Company does not contain any additional limitations on a non-resident’s right to hold or vote the Company’s securities.

The following discussion summarizes US Federal and Australian tax consequences of the ownership of shares by a person (“US Portfolio Stockholder”) that: (i) is a citizen or resident of the US, a US corporation or that otherwise will be subject to US Federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the Shares; (ii) is not a resident of Australia for Australian tax purposes; (iii) has not, within the preceding five years, beneficially owned 10% of the issued capital or voting stock in the Company; and, (iv) has not used the Shares in carrying on a trade or business, wholly or partly through a permanent establishment in Australia.
The statements regarding US and Australian tax laws set forth herein are based on those laws as in force on the date of this document that may affect the tax consequence described herein (some of which may have retroactive effect). This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax consideration and investors are advised to satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences, including specifically the consequences under US, state, local and other laws, of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Shares by consulting their own tax advisers.
Taxation of Gains on Sale
A US Portfolio Stockbroker is not subject to Australian income tax on the sale of its Shares in the Company.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Status
A foreign corporation is classified as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of certain subsidiaries pursuant to the applicable US Internal Revenue Code “look-through” rules, either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income from cash holdings and profits from the sale of marketable securities, even if derived from an active business.
If the Company were a PFIC during any year in which a US Portfolio Stockholder owned Shares, that US Portfolio Stockholder would be subject to additional taxes on any gain realised from the sale of any other disposition of the Shares, or any excess distribution received from the Company.
A US Portfolio Stockholder will have an excess distribution to the extent that distributions on Shares during a taxable year exceeded 125% of the average amount received during the three preceding taxable years (or, if shorter,
35
the US Portfolio Stockholders’ holding period for the shares). To compute the tax on gain or on an excess distribution, (i) the excess distribution or the gain is allocated rateably over the US Portfolio Stockholder’s holding period for the Shares, (ii) the amount allocated to the current taxable year at the highest applicable marginal rate in effect for each year and (iii) an interest charge is imposed to recover the deemed benefit from the deferred payment of the tax attributable to each year.
If the Company is a PFIC, US persons that own an interest in another entity that owns shares in the Company may be treated as indirect holders of their proportionate share of that entity’s Shares, and may be taxed on their proportional share of any gain or excess distribution from that entity attributable to the entity’s in the Company. A US person that owns an interest in the entity that if an actual holder of Shares will be treated as an indirect holder if (i) the actual holder is itself a PFIC, (ii) the actual holder is a foreign corporation other than a PFIC in which the US person who owns an interest in the actual holder owns (directly or indirectly) at least 50% in value of the actual holder’s shares, or (iii) the actual holder is a partnership, trust or estate in which the US Portfolio Stockholder is a partner or beneficiary. An indirect holder must take into income its portion of any excess distribution rece ived by the actual holder or any gain recognised by the actual holder on the Shares. An indirect holder also must treat an appropriate portion of its gain on the sale or disproportion of its interest in the actual holder as gain on the sale of the Shares. If the Company were a PFIC, a US Portfolio Stockbroker of Shares would generally be subject to similar rules with respect to distribution by, an disposition of the shares of, any direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company that were PFIC’s.
The Internal Revenue Code provides each US stockholder in a PFIC with an election whereby the additional US tax burden imposed on gain on sale of PFIC stock and receipt of excess distributions from a PFIC, as described above, can be avoided. This election generally requires that the PFIC stockholder include in its income, its pro-rata share of the PFIC’s distributed and undistributed income, as computed under US tax accounting principles, on an current basis. In certain cases, a further election is available to an electing PFIC stockholder to defer the tax payable with respect to the stockholder’s pro-rata share of the PFIC’s undistributed income, although in this case interest applies on the deferred tax. Thus, even if the first or both of these elections are made, a US stockholder of a PFIC loses the tax benefit, which is available with respect to investment in a non-PFIC corporation, of deferring and conver ting to capital gain the investor’s personal US tax liability with respect to the Company’s undistributed income. These elections also generally require that the PFIC annually provide the electing PFIC shareholder, for inspection by the Internal Revenue Service, an analysis of the PFIC’s income computed under US tax accounting principles.
The Company does not intend to furnish any US Portfolio Stockholder with the information that it would need in order to avoid the PFIC tax treatment described by electing to include its share of the Company’s income on a current basis. Therefore, these elections may not be available to the Company’s US Portfolio Stockholders.
There are other adverse US tax rules associated with holding Shares in a company that has been a PFIC during any part of a US Portfolio Stockholders holding period. These include a denial of a step-up in a tax basis on the death of a US individual stockholder, and burdensome reporting requirements.
If the Company ceases to be a PFIC, a US Portfolio Stockholder may avoid the contained application of the tax treatment described above by electing to be treated as if it sold its Shares on the last day of the last taxable year in which the Company was a PFIC. Any gain is recognised and subjected to tax under the rules described above. Loss is not recognised. The US Portfolio Stockholder’s basis in the Shares is increased by the amount of gain recognised on the deemed sale. This election is not available to a Us Portfolio Stockholder that previously elected to include its share of the Company’s income on a current basis. The US Congress recently has considered legislation that would alter the PFIC rules substantially. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the potential application of the PFIC rules, as well as, the impact of any proposed legislation that could affect th em.
Taxation of Dividends
36
The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, but, rather, to retain earnings, if any, to finance expansion of its business. Should the Company begin paying dividends, however, the Company’s dividends to its US Portfolio Stockholders would be exempt from Australian dividend withholding tax to the extent such dividends are considered to be “franked” for Australian tax purposes. A dividend is considered to be “franked” to the extent that such dividend is paid out of the Company’s income on which Australian corporate tax has been levied. Even if not “franked”, a dividend will be exempt from Australian dividend withholding tax if it is paid out of the Company’s non-Australian source dividend income and the Company specifies a “foreign dividend account declaration percentage” for such purpo se. The Company anticipates that if it pays dividends, such dividends would likely be either “franked”, or paid from the Company’s non-Australian source dividend income as specified in the foreign dividend account declaration percentage, and therefore would be exempt from Australian dividend withholding tax.
If, however, dividends are paid by the Company that are not “franked”, nor paid from the initial Company’s non-Australian source dividend income as specified in the foreign dividend account declaration percentage, such dividend would then be subject to Australian dividend withholding tax. However, in accordance with the provisions of the Australia/United States Income Tax Treaty, Australian withholding tax on dividend income derived by a US stockholder would be limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. Subject to certain limitations, any Australian dividend withholding tax may be claimed as a credit against the federal income tax liability of the US stockholder. The overall limitation on non-US taxes eligible for US credit is calculated separately with respect to specific clauses, or “baskets” of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute “passive income” or, in the case of certain US Portfolio Stockholder, “financial service income”. The US tax credits allowable with respect to each income basket cannot exceed the US federal income tax payable with respect to such income. The consequences of the separate limitation calculation will depend on the nature and sources of each US Portfolio Stockholder’s income and the deductions allocable thereto.
Distributions on the Shares will constitute dividends for US Federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, if any of the Company, as determined for US federal income tax purposes. If the Company pays a dividend, such dividend would likely be paid in Australian dollars. The amount of dividend income for a US Portfolio Stockholder will be the US dollar value of the dividend payment on the date of receipt, even if the dividend is not converted into US dollars gain or loss, if any, realised on a sale or other disposition of Australian Dollars will be ordinary income or loss to the US Portfolio Stockholder. Dividends paid by the Company will not be eligible for the “inter-corporate dividends received” deduction allowed to US corporations.
Estate and Gift Tax
Australia does not impose any estate, inheritance or gift taxes. Therefore, no Australian estate tax, inheritance tax or gift tax will be imposed on the death or upon a lifetime gift by, a US Portfolio Stockholder.

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006 |
| NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. |
| The financial report covers the economic entity of Brainytoys Ltd and controlled entities and Brainytoys Limited as an individual parent entity. Brainytoys Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. |
| The financial report of Brainytoys Limited and controlled entities, and Brainytoys Limited as an individual parent entity comply with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) in their entirety. |
| The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. |
Basis of Preparation |
First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards |
Brainytoys Limited and controlled entities, and Brainytoys Limited as an individual parent entity have prepared financial statements in accordance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) from 1 July 2005. |
In accordance with the requirements of AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, adjustments to the parent entity and consolidated entity accounts resulting from the introduction of AIFRS have been applied retrospectively to 2005 comparative figures excluding cases where optional exemptions available under AASB 1 have been applied. These consolidated accounts are the first financial statements of Brainytoys Limited to be prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to IFRS which complies with IFRS as published by International Accounting Standards Board. |
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented. The parent and consolidated entities have however elected to adopt the exemptions available under AASB 1 relating to AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation, and AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Refer to Note 28 for further details on changes in accounting policy. |
Reconciliations of the transition from previous Australian GAAP to AIFRS have been included in Note 2 to this report. Reconciliation to US GAAP Reconciliation of US GAAP to Australian Equivalent of International Financial Reporting Standards – there are no material differences between US GAAP and the Australian equivalent to International Financial Reporting Standard |
Reporting Basis and Conventions |
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. |
| Going Concern |
| The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. In common with research and development companies, the Group’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainty due primarily to the nature of the research, development and commercialisation to be undertaken. As noted within the Directors’ Report, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Group achieving significant cash flow arising from product sales and/or raising significant additional funding in order to continue to research and develop the Group’s products to achieve a position where it can commercialise or market the products or technology satisfactorily. |

| | | |
| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006 |
| NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| The Directors and senior management have prepared a cash flow forecast for the ensuing year to satisfy themselves that the Group will have adequate resources for the foreseeable future. Thereafter, in the event cash flow contribution from product sales and/or sufficient capital raising at an amount and timing necessary to meet the future budgeted operational and investing activities of the Group is unfavourable, the Directors believe that they will be able to contain the operating and investment activities sufficiently to ensure that the Group can meet its debts as and when they become due and payable. In the unlikely event that the events referred to above result in a negative outcome, then the going concern basis of accounting may not be appropriate with the result that the Group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and in amounts different from that stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as going concern. |
|
On 27 July 2006, the Company completed a 1 for 4 rights issue to raise $454,346. On 2 August 2006, the Company entered into a conditional agreement (subject to shareholder approval) for the issue of convertible secured loan notes to Noble Investments Pty Ltd for an undrawn credit facility of $800,000. The Company proposes to issue 8 convertible notes on the series issue date as follows: · One fixed convertible note issued at $100,000 convertible by Noble Investments Pty Ltd at $0.06 each in 1,666,667 ordinary fully paid shares in the company; and · Seven subsequent convertible notes issued at $100,000. The seven subsequent notes are convertible into that number of Shares equal to the Face Value of the relevant Subsequent Note divided by the higher of $0.05 per Share or the three month volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares, as traded by the ASX and discounted by 20%. · The subsequent notes are to be drawn down at the discretion of the Company. · Interest is payable on the drawn notes at 10% per annum. · The Company must execute a Deed of Charge in relation to the relevant Subsequent Note and servicing such amount as specified in the Convertible note Deed. · The conversion of notes to shares in the Company is at the absolute discretion of Noble. |
| (a) | Principles of Consolidation |
| | A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Brainytoys Limited. Control exists where Brainytoys Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Brainytoys Limited to achieve the objectives of Brainytoys Limited. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 15 to the financial statements. |
| | All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. |
| | Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. |
| | Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Brainytoys Limited. |
| (b) | Income Tax |
| | The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006 |
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| | Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. |
| | Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. |
| | Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. |
| | The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. |
| (c) | Property, Plant, and Equipment |
| | Each class of property, plant, and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses |
| | Plant and equipment |
| | Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. |
| | The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. |
| | The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs, and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. |
| | Depreciation |
| | The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. |
| | The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: |
| | | Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
| | | Plant and equipment Computers | 20% 33% |
| | The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. |
| | An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. |
| | Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. |

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (d) | Intangibles |
| | Patents and Trademarks |
| | Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a definite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life ranging from 15 to 20 years.
|
| (e) | Employee Benefits |
| | Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
|
| (f) | Cash and cash equivalents |
| | Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. |
| (g) | Revenue |
| | Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. |
| | All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). |
| (h) | Goods and Services Tax (GST) |
| | Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. |
| (i) | Leases |
| | Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases. |
| | Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. |
| | Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the economic entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. |
| | Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. |
| | Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. |

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (j) | Research and Development Expenses |
| | Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technically feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project. |
| k) | Financial Instruments |
| | Recognition Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Held-to-maturity investments These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to-maturity investments held by the group are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Available-for-sale financial assets Available for sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity. Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation. Derivative instruments Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to the income statement unless they are designated as hedges. Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006 |
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (l) | Earnings Per Share |
| | i. Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of service equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. ii. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. |
| (m) | Intellectual Property |
| | Intellectual property on consolidation is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. The intellectual property is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of 20 years. The balances are reviewed annually and any balance representing future benefits for which the realisation is considered to be no longer probable are written off as impairment losses in the Income Statement. |
| (n) | Impairment of Assets |
| | At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement. |
| | Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. |
| | Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
| (o) | Provisions |
| | Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured. |
| (p) | Borrowing Costs |
| | Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred. |
| (q) | Equity-settled compensation |
| | The group operates an Incentive Option Scheme share-based compensation plan. The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the income statement. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted. |

| (q) | Comparative Figures |
| | Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year. |
| Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments |
| The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. |
| Key Estimates — Impairment |
| The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. |
| An impairment loss amounting to $2,198,063 has been recognised under the Australian equivalents to IFRS relating to the Intellectual Property which has been written down to its recoverable amount. This has been recognised in the income statement for the year ended 30 June 2006. |
| An impairment loss amounting to $2,187,821 has been recognised under the Australian equivalents to IFRS relating to the Investment in Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd which has been written down to its recoverable amount. This has been recognised in the income statement for the year ended 30 June 2006. |
| An impairment loss amounting to $25,000 has been recognised under the Australian equivalents to IFRS relating to a loan from Brainytoys Limited to Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd which has been written down to its recoverable amount. This has been recognised in the income statement for the year ended 30 June 2006. |

BRAINYTOYS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Brainytoys Limited (parent) and the economic entity being Brainytoys Limited (parent) and its subsidiary entity (the Company) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related parent and economic entity income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for each of the two years in the years then ended June 30, 2006. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brainytoys Limited (parent) and the economic entity as at June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in conformity with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards.
Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter:
As a result of the matters described in Note 1, there is significant doubt whether Brainytoys Limited and its controlled entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at amounts stated in the financial report.
In the absence of significant cash inflow from product sales the company will need to raise significant further capital in order to meet the company’s expenditure commitments to continue to research and develop the company’s products and technology.
