4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In thousands of dollars, except share and per share data)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GeneralDevelopment and Narrative Description of Business — 4Kids Entertainment, Inc., together with the subsidiaries through which its businesses are conducted (the “Company”), is a diversified entertainment and media company specializing in the youth oriented market with operations in the following business segments: (i) Licensing; (ii) Advertising Media and Broadcast; (iii) Television and Film Production/Distribution; and (iv) Trading Card and Game Distribution. The Company was organized as a New York corporation in 1970.

Licensing — The Licensing business segment consists of the results of operations of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company: 4Kids Entertainment Licensing, Inc. (“4Kids Licensing”); 4Sight Licensing Solutions, Inc. (“4Sight Licensing”); 4Kids Entertainment International, Ltd. (“4Kids International”); and 4Kids Technology, Inc. (“4Kids Technology”). 4Kids Licensing is engaged in the business of licensing the merchandising rights to popular children’s television series, properties and product concepts (individually the “Property” or collectively the “Properties”). 4Kids Licensing typically acts as exclusive merchandising agent in connection with the grant to third parties of licenses to manufacture and sell all types of merchandise, including toys, videogames, trading cards, apparel, housewares, footwear, books and other published materials, based on such Properties. 4Sight Licensing is engaged in the business of licensing properties and product concepts to adults, teens and “tweens”. 4Sight Licensing focuses on brand building through licensing. 4Kids International based in London, manages the Properties represented by the Company in the United Kingdom and European marketplaces. 4Kids Technology develops ideas and concepts for licensing which integrate new and existing technologies with traditional game and toy play patterns.

Advertising Media and Broadcast — The Company, through a multi-year agreement with Fox Broadcasting Corporation (“Fox”), leases Fox’s Saturday morning programming block from 8am to 12pm eastern/pacific time (7am to 11am central time). The Company provides substantially all programming content to be broadcast on 4Kids TV. 4Kids Ad Sales, Inc. (“4Kids Ad Sales”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, retains all of the revenue from its sale of network advertising time for the four-hour time period leased from Fox.

Effective June 30, 2006, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Summit Media Group, Inc. (“Summit Media”), which previously provided print and broadcast media planning and buying services for clients principally in the children’s toy and game business, terminated its operations. As a consequence of the termination of its operations, Summit Media no longer serves as a media buying agency for third parties.

Television and Film Production/Distribution — The Television and Film Production/Distribution business segment consists of the results of operations of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company: 4Kids Productions, Inc. (“4Kids Productions”); 4Kids Entertainment Music, Inc. (“4Kids Music”); and 4Kids Entertainment Home Video, Inc. (“4Kids Home Video”). 4Kids Productions produces and adapts animated and live-action television programs and theatrical motion pictures for distribution to the domestic and international television, home video and theatrical markets. 4Kids Music composes original music for incorporation into television programming produced by 4Kids Productions and markets and manages such music. 4Kids Home Video distributes home videos associated with television programming produced by 4Kids Productions.

Trading Card and Game Distribution— Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 4Kids Digital Games, Inc., (“4Kids Digital”), the Company owns 53% of TC Digital Games LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TC Digital”), that will produce, market and distribute the “Chaotic” trading card game. On December 11, 2006, 4Kids Digital and Chaotic USA Digital Games LLC (“CUSA LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, Inc. (“CUSA”) entered into the TC Digital operating agreement (“TCD Agreement”) which contains terms and conditions governing the operations of TC Digital. Under the TCD Agreement, 4Kids Digital and CUSA are each entitled to elect two managers to TC Digital’s Management Committee with 4Kids Digital having the right to break any dead-locks.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 4Kids Websites, Inc., the Company owns 50% of TC Websites LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TC Websites”), that will own and operate www.chaoticgame.com, the companion website for the “Chaotic” trading card game. 4Kids Websites purchased its 50% membership interest in TC Websites from CUSA on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of TC Websites’ operating agreement (“TCW Agreement”), 4Kids Websites

6

and CUSA are each entitled to elect two managers to TC Websites’ Management Committee, with 4Kids Websites having the right to break any dead-lock relating to advertising and marketing issues and CUSA having the right to break any dead-lock relating to operational matters. Due to the fact that the Company does not have final decision making power on operational matters, the equity method of accounting is applied.

TC Digital and TC Websites are the exclusive licensees of certain patents covering the uploading of coded trading cards to a website where online game play and community activities occur. The Company believes that its ownership interests in TC Digital and TC Websites represent a potentially significant addition to its business strategy. These two businesses should enable the Company to offer traditional trading card game play with an online digital play experience. In addition, it is anticipated that TC Digital and TC Websites will diversify their product lines and will ultimately distribute and sell, and create websites for, other trading card games.

Certain of the Company’s executive officers have interests in CUSA, CUSA LLC and certain other entities in which TC Digital and TC Websites have engaged in transactions since their formation. Information regarding these relationships can be found in Note 8 of the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements, except for the December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2006, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Because of the inherent seasonality and changing trends of the toy, game, entertainment and advertising industries, operating results for the Company on a quarterly basis may not be indicative of operating results for the full year.

In connection with the termination of the operations of Summit Media, the media buying operations has been classified as a discontinued operation. As further discussed in Note 12 of the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to reflect the reporting of this business as a discontinued operation.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the financial statement recognition and measurement criteria for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also requires additional disclosures related to uncertain income tax positions. See Note 5, “Income Taxes”, for further information.

The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to such period that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet amounts are derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition –Merchandise licensing revenues: Licensing revenues, net of licensor participations, are recognized when the underlying royalties from the sales of the related products are earned. The Company recognizes guaranteed royalties, net of licensor participations, at the time the arrangement becomes effective if the Company has no significant direct continuing involvement with the underlying Property or obligation to the licensee. Where the Company has significant continuing direct involvement with the underlying Property or obligation to the licensee, guaranteed minimum royalties, net of licensor participations, are recognized ratably over the term of the license or based on sales of the related products, if greater. Licensing advances and guaranteed payments collected but not yet earned by the Company are classified as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Broadcast advertising revenues: Advertising revenues are recognized when the related commercials are aired and are recorded net of agency commissions and net of an appropriate reserve when advertising is sold together with a guaranteed audience delivery. Internet advertising revenues are recognized on the basis of impression views in the period the advertising is displayed. Commission income from the discontinued media planning and buying operations of Summit Media, from both print and broadcast media, were recognized at the time the related media was run.

7

Episodic television series revenues: Television series initially produced for networks and first-run syndication are generally licensed to domestic and foreign markets concurrently. The length of the revenue cycle for episodic television varies depending on the number of seasons a series remains in active exploitation. Revenues arising from television license agreements, net of licensor participations, are recognized in the period that the films or episodic television series are available for telecast.

Production and adaptation costs charged to the licensor are included in net revenues and the corresponding costs are included in production service costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Production service costs included in net revenues amounted to $1,717 and $2,433 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Home video revenues: Revenues from home video and DVD sales, net of a reserve for returns, are recognized, net of licensor participations, on the date that video and DVD units are shipped by the Company’s distributor to wholesalers/retailers. Consistent with the practice in the home video industry, the Company estimates the reserve for returns based upon its review of historical returns rates and expected future performance.

Music revenues: Revenues from music sales, net of licensor participations, and net of a reserve for returns, are recognized on the date units are shipped by the Company’s distributor to wholesalers/retailers as reported to the Company. In the case of musical performance revenues, the revenue is recognized when the musical recordings are broadcast and/or performed.

Film and Television Costs – The Company accounts for its film and television costs pursuant to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 00-2,Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films. The cost of production for television programming, including overhead, participations and talent residuals is capitalized and amortized using the individual-film-forecast method under which such costs are amortized for each television program in the ratio that revenue earned in the current period for such program bears to management’s estimate of the ultimate revenues to be realized from all media and markets for such program. Management regularly reviews, and revises when necessary, its ultimate revenue estimates on a title-by-title basis, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization applicable to such title and/or a write-down of the value of such title to estimated fair value. These revisions can result in significant quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year fluctuations in film write-downs and rates of amortization. If a total net loss is projected for a particular title, the associated film and television costs are written down to estimated fair value. All exploitation costs, including advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Television adaptation and production costs that are adapted and/or produced are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated amortization, or fair value.

Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2007 presentation.

Translation of Foreign Currency —In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income, the Company classifies items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and displays the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, 4Kids International, have been recorded in their local currency and translated to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items have been translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Any adjustment resulting from translating the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary is reflected as “other comprehensive income,” net of related tax. Comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was $(172) and $1,622, respectively, which included translation adjustments of $33 and $74 for the respective periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements –Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes —In June 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109Accounting for Income Taxes(“SFAS No. 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 is effective for the period beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements –In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines “fair value”, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

8

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”). This bulletin expresses the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. The interpretations in this bulletin were issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements and the potential under current practice for the build up of improper amounts on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB No. 108 as of December 31, 2006. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of FASB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires that the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans be recognized on companies’ balance sheets and that changes in the funded status be reflected in comprehensive income, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of each such plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Since the Company does not currently have a defined benefit postretirement plan, the adoption of SFAS 158 did not have any impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

3. STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

The Company has stock-based compensation plans for employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The plans provide for discretionary grants of stock options, restricted stock shares, and other stock-based awards. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of non-employee directors.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R (revised 2004),Share-Based Payments, utilizing the modified prospective method whereby prior periods are not restated for comparability. SFAS 123-R requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the statement of operations over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Previously, the Company used the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”), as amended by related interpretations of the FASB. Under APB No. 25, no compensation cost was recognized for stock options because the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date was equal to the amount per share the employee had to pay to acquire the stock after fulfilling the vesting period. SFAS 123-R supersedes APB No. 25 as well as SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which permitted pro forma footnote disclosures to report the difference between the fair value method and the intrinsic value method. The Company did not grant any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2007, and at January 1, 2006, all of the Company’s outstanding options were fully vested. Consequently, the adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The following table summarizes activity under our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

	Shares (In thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price	Remaining Contractual Life (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at beginning of period		2,281	$	17.90
Grants		--		--
Exercised		(1	)	11.80
Forfeited		(350	)	20.53
Outstanding at end of period		1,930	$	17.42		2.36	$	7,082
Exercisable at end of period		1,930	$	17.42		2.36	$	7,082

9

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for those awards that have an exercise price currently below the closing price. As of March 31, 2007, we had options outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 659 shares with an exercise price below the quoted price of our stock, resulting in an aggregate intrinsic value of $7,082. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under our stock option plans was $4 and $9, respectively, determined as of the date of exercise.

Restricted Stock Awards

Pursuant to its long-term incentive compensation plans, the Company granted restricted stock awards on May 23, 2006 and June 15, 2006 for approximately 145,000 and 4,000 shares, respectively. The restricted stock awards were granted to certain employees, including officers and members of the Board of Directors, at a grant price of $16.52 and $15.78, respectively (the average of the high and low stock price from the previous day of trading). The restricted stock awards vest annually from the date of grant over a period of four years with accelerated vesting upon a change of control of the Company (as defined in the applicable plan). During the restriction period, award holders do not have the rights of stockholders and cannot transfer ownership. Additionally, nonvested shares of award holders are subject to forfeiture. These awards are forfeited and revert to the Company in the event of employment termination, except in the case of death, disability, retirement or other specified events.

A summary of restricted stock award activity under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plans as of March 31, 2007 and changes during the three months then ended is presented as follows:

	Number of Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2007		138		$	16.50
Granted		--			--
Vested		--			--
Forfeited		(1	)		16.52
Converted		--			--
Outstanding at March 31, 2007		137		$	16.50

As of March 31, 2007, there was approximately $1,782 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.15 years. There were no shares of restricted stock that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Availability for Future Issuance —As of March 31, 2007, (i) options to purchase 679 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for future issuance under the Company’s stock option plans and (ii) options to purchase a maximum of 652 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for future issuance under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plans, reduced by 4 shares for each share of restricted stock awarded in the future under such plans.

4. DEFERRED REVENUE

Music — In July 2002, 4Kids Music granted a right to receive a 50% interest in the Company’s net share of the music revenues from currently existing music produced by the Company for television programs produced by the Company other than “Pokémon” (“Current Music Assets”) to an unaffiliated third party in an arms length transaction for $3,000. Further, the Company agreed to grant a right to receive a 50% interest in the Company’s net share of music revenues from future music to be produced by the Company for its television programs (excluding “Pokémon”) (“Future Music Assets”) to the same third party for $2,000. In consideration of the grant of Future Music Assets, the Company received $750 in June 2003, $750 in June 2004 and $500 in June 2005.

The Company has deferred all amounts received under the contract, and recognizes revenue as the Current Music Assets and Future Music Assets generate revenue over the contract term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date the Company has delivered all of the Future Music Assets required under the contract, any portion of the $5,000 that remains deferred and not recognized, will be recognized as revenue. Pursuant to the above, the Company recognized revenues of $74 and $189 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has included $2,381 and $2,455 as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. 

10

Home Video — At various dates since May 2002, 4Kids Home Video entered into various agreements with an unaffiliated third party home video distributor (the “Video Distributor”) pursuant to which 4Kids Home Video provides ongoing advertising, marketing and promotional services with respect to certain home video titles that are owned or controlled by the Company and which are distributed by the Video Distributor. The Video Distributor has paid the Company cumulative advances of $4,119 against 4Kids Home Video’s share of the distribution and service fee proceeds to be realized by 4Kids Home Video from such titles. Pursuant to the above, the Company recognized revenue of $36 and $26 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has included $505 and $541 as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Other Agreements — In addition, the Company entered into other agreements for various Properties and advertising time on 4Kids TV in which the Company has received certain advances and/or minimum guarantees. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the unearned portion of these advances and guaranteed payments was $1,077 and $2,018, respectively, and is included in deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

5. INCOME TAXES

The (benefit from) provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007		2006
Current	$ (941	)	$ 541
Deferred	264		364
Total	$ (677	)	$ 905

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 is effective for the period beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by income tax authorities in most jurisdictions for years prior to 2003.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Restricted Stock Awards– Pursuant to its long-term incentive compensation plans, the Company granted restricted stock awards on May 23, 2006 and June 15, 2006 for approximately 145,000 and 4,000 underlying shares, respectively. The restricted stock was granted to certain employees, including officers and members of the Board of Directors, at a grant price of $16.52 and $15.78, respectively (the average of the high and low stock price from the previous day of trading). The restricted stock awards vest annually from the date of grant over a period of four years.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company from time to time is involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not believe that such litigation to which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a party or of which any of their property is the subject will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or the results of its operations.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

a. 4Kids TV Broadcast Agreement — In January 2002, the Company entered into a multi-year agreement with Fox to lease Fox’s Saturday morning programming block which airs principally on Saturday mornings from 8am to 12pm eastern/pacific time (7am to 11am central time) (“4Kids TV”). The Company provides substantially all programming content to be broadcast on 4Kids TV and retains all of the revenue from network advertising sales for the four-hour time period. 4Kids Ad Sales manages and accounts for the ad revenue and costs associated with 4Kids TV.

In March 2006, the multi-year agreement was extended for two broadcast years through the 2007-2008 broadcast season. As of March 31, 2007, no amounts remain to be paid for the 2006-2007 broadcast season under the amended agreement. The time-buy fee for each of the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 broadcast seasons is $20,000 as compared to the $25,312 paid for each broadcast year during the initial term of the multi-year agreement. The fee is payable in quarterly installments of $5,000 each year beginning in October 2006. The extended agreement also provides Fox with the option to further extend the agreement through the 2008-2009 broadcast season under the same terms and conditions by providing notice to the Company no later than August 31, 2007.

The costs of 4Kids TV is capitalized and amortized over each broadcast year based on estimated advertising revenue for the related broadcast year. The Company recorded amortization expenses of $4,419 and $4,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company paid Fox and certain Fox affiliates $5,044 attributable to the fifth years’ broadcast fees, and during calendar year 2006, the Company paid Fox and certain Fox affiliates $7,058 and $5,491 attributable to the fourth and fifth years’ broadcast fees, respectively. All fees paid to Fox and certain Fox affiliates for the fourth and fifth years’ broadcast seasons were completely amortized as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

13

In addition to the time-buy fee paid to Fox, the Company incurs additional costs to program the four-hour block and sell the related network advertising time. These costs include direct programming costs to acquire, adapt and deliver programming for the broadcast during the weekly four-hour block as well as additional indirect expenses of advertising sales, promotion and administration.

As of March 31, 2007, the minimum guaranteed payment obligations under the 4Kids TV Broadcast Agreement are as follows:

Year ending December 31,	Amount
2007	$15,000
2008	15,000
Total	$30,000

The Company’s ability to recover the cost of its fee payable to Fox will depend on the popularity of the television programs the Company broadcasts on 4Kids TV and the general market demand and pricing of advertising time for Saturday morning children’s broadcast television. The popularity of such programs impacts audience levels and the level of the network advertising rates that the Company can charge. Additionally, the success of the merchandise licensing programs and home video sales based on such television programs broadcast on 4Kids TV is dependent on consumer acceptance of such television programs. If the Company estimates that it will be unable to generate sufficient future revenue from advertising sales, home video sales and merchandising licensing at levels to cover the cost of its contractual obligation to Fox, the Company would record a charge to earnings to reflect an expected loss on the Fox agreement in the period in which the factors negatively affecting the recoverability of the fee payable become known. The Company will be required to make certain assumptions and estimates about future events such as advertising rates and audience viewing levels in evaluating its ability to recover the cost of the 4Kids TV fee. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to market forces and factors beyond the control of the Company and are inherently subject to change. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover the full cost of the 4Kids TV fee and in the event it cannot, it would record the resulting charge to earnings to reflect an expected loss on the 4Kids TV fee, which could be significant.

b. Contractual Arrangements — During the normal course of business, the Company may enter into various agreements with third parties to license, acquire, distribute, broadcast, develop and/or promote properties. The terms of these agreements will vary based on the services and/or properties included within the agreement, as well as the other terms and conditions set forth therein.

10. MINORITY INTEREST

On December 11, 2006, 4Kids Digital and CUSA LLC entered into the TCD Agreement. 4Kids Digital holds 53% of the membership interests of TC Digital. Pursuant to the provisions of the TCD Agreement, 4Kids Digital and CUSA LLC are each entitled to elect two managers to TC Digital’s Management Committee with 4Kids Digital having the right to break any dead-lock.

Minority interest of membership units in TC Digital represents the minority members’ proportionate share of the equity in the entity. Income is allocated to the membership units minority interest based on the ownership percentage throughout the year. As of March 31, 2007, the minority member held 47% of the common units of the entity.   For the three months ended March 31, 2007, 4Kids Digital absorbed the entire loss associated with the operations of TC Digital, as noted below. Future profits of TC Digital will not be allocated to the minority member until such time that 4Kids Digital has recouped all losses incurred to date from the operations of TC Digital. The following table summarizes the membership units minority interest loss:

11. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE

On December 11, 2006, 4Kids Websites purchased a 50% membership interest in TC Websites from CUSA for approximately $3,200. 4Kids Websites uses the equity method to account for the investment in an unconsolidated affiliate where it does not have control, but has significant influence. Under the terms of the TCW Agreement, 4Kids Websites and CUSA are each entitled to elect two managers to TC Websites’ Management Committee, with 4Kids Websites having the right to break any dead-lock relating to branding issues and CUSA having the right to break any dead-lock relating to operational matters. Generally, the investment in unconsolidated affiliate on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets equals the Company’s proportionate share of equity reported by the unconsolidated affiliate. The investment is assessed for possible impairment when events indicate that the fair value of the investment may be below the Company’s carrying value. As of March 31, 2007, the Company recorded $51 ($93 less a tax benefit of $42) of equity losses related to the investment, which was included in the determination of net loss. The following is a summary of the financial information for the Company’s unconsolidated affiliate, TC Websites:

12. DISCONTINUED OPERATION

In June 2006, the Company announced that the business of its media buying subsidiary, Summit Media, would be terminated effective June 30, 2006. The results of operations for Summit Media are reported as a discontinued operation for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified separately to report the assets, liabilities and operating results of this business.

The following are the summarized results of discontinued operations for the media buying business:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007	2006
Net revenues	$        --	$ 542

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement entered into by Summit Media with The Beacon Media Group LLC (“Beacon”), Sheldon Hirsch, Tom Horner and Paul Caldera (the “Beacon Defendants”) on June 19, 2006, relating to the lawsuit filed by Summit Media in Supreme Court, New York County against Beacon and the Beacon Defendants, Summit Media will receive $2,000, in regularly scheduled payments through 2010, in exchange for Summit Media’s discontinuation of the lawsuit. The Company has included approximately $1,800 in net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, relating to this agreement. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had received $200 of the scheduled payments related to the lawsuit.

13. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

The Company applies SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company has four reportable segments: (i) Licensing; (ii) Advertising Media and Broadcast; (iii) Television and Film Production/Distribution; and (iv) Trading Card and Game Distribution. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units, which, while managed separately, work together as a vertically integrated entertainment company. The Company’s management regularly evaluates the performance of each segment based on its net revenues, profit and loss after all expenses, including amortized film and television costs and the 4Kids TV broadcast fee and interest income.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s Television and Film Production/Distribution segment records inter-segment revenues and the Company’s Advertising Media and Broadcast segment records inter-segment charges related to the estimated acquisition costs of episodic television series for broadcast. In the opinion of management, such acquisition costs represent the estimated fair value which would have been incurred in a transaction between unaffiliated third parties on an arms length basis. All inter-segment transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Additionally, through the Company’s London office and network of international subagents, which allow it to license its Properties throughout the world, the Company recognized net merchandise licensing revenues from international sources, primarily in Europe, of $2,471 and $2,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, net assets of the Company’s London office were $7,387 and $7,154, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(In thousands of dollars unless otherwise specified)

Overview

The Company’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 reflect an overall decrease in production service revenue, domestic broadcast sales and licensing revenues from the Properties as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in production service revenue is primarily attributable to the decline in the production of the “Pokémon”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “One Piece” television series, partially offset by increased production service revenue on the “Chaotic” television series. The decrease in the licensing segment resulted primarily from reduced revenue on the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” Property worldwide and an overall reduction in licensing internationally. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were also negatively impacted by increased selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the operations of the business, including the newly formed Trading Card and Game Distribution segment, partially offset by decreased production service costs related to television and film costs.

General

The Company receives revenues from the following three of its business segments: (i) Licensing; (ii) Advertising, Media and Broadcasting; and (iii) Television and Film Production/Distribution, and expects to receive revenue in the future from the Trading Card and Game Distribution business segment. The Company typically derives a substantial portion of its licensing revenues from a small number of Properties, which usually generate revenues for only a limited period of time. The Company’s revenues are highly subject to changing trends in the toy, game and entertainment businesses, potentially causing dramatic increases and decreases from year to year due to the popularity of particular Properties. It is not possible to accurately predict the length of time a property will be commercially successful and/or if a property will be commercially successful at all. Popularity of properties can vary from months to years. As a result, the Company’s revenues from particular Properties may fluctuate significantly between comparable periods.

The Company’s licensing revenues have historically been derived primarily from the licensing of toy and game concepts. As a result, a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues and net income are subject to the seasonal variations of the toy and game industry. Typically, a majority of toy orders are shipped in the third and fourth calendar quarters resulting in increased royalties earned by the Company during such calendar quarters. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of advertising time on 4Kids TV as more fully described in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s advertising sales subsidiary, 4Kids Ad Sales, sells advertising time on 4Kids TV at higher rates in the fourth quarter due to the increased demand for commercial time by children’s advertisers during the holiday season. As a result, much of the revenues of 4Kids Ad Sales are earned in the fourth quarter when the majority of toy and video game advertising occurs. As a result of the foregoing, the Company has historically experienced greater revenues during the second half of the year than during the first half of the year.

The Company’s media buying subsidiary, Summit Media, which previously provided print and broadcast media planning and buying services for clients principally in the children’s toy and game business, terminated its operations effective June 30, 2006. In connection with the closing of Summit Media, the media buying operations have been classified as a discontinued operation. As further discussed in Note 12 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to accommodate the reporting of this business as a discontinued operation.

Critical Accounting Policies 

The Company’s accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Below is a summary of the critical accounting policies, among others, that management believes involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Film and Television Costs -  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and industry practice, the Company amortizes the costs of production for film and television programming using the individual-film-forecast method under which such costs are amortized for each film or television program in the ratio that revenue earned in the current period for such title bears to management’s estimate of the total revenues to be realized from all media and markets for such title. All exploitation costs, including advertising and marketing costs, are expensed as incurred.

Management regularly reviews, and revises when necessary, its total revenue estimates on a title-by-title basis, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization and/or a write-down of the film or television asset to estimated fair value. The Company determines the estimated fair value for individual film and television Properties based on the estimated future ultimate revenues and costs in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Statement of Position No. 00-2,Accounting by Producers and Distributors of Film (“SOP No. 00-2”).

18

Any revisions to ultimate revenues can result in significant quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year fluctuations in film and television write-downs and amortization. A typical film or television series recognizes a substantial portion of its ultimate revenues within the first three years of release. By then, the film or television series has been exploited in the domestic and international television (network and cable) and home video markets. In addition, a significant portion of licensing revenues associated with the film or television series will have been realized. A similar portion of the film’s or television series’ capitalized costs should be expected to be amortized accordingly, assuming the film or television series is profitable.

The commercial potential of individual films and television programming varies dramatically, and is not directly correlated with production or acquisition costs. Therefore, it is difficult to predict or project the impact that individual films or television programming will have on the Company’s results of operations. However, the likelihood that the Company will report losses, particularly in the year of a television series initial release, is increased as the applicable accounting literature requires the immediate recognition of all of the production or acquisition costs (through increased amortization) in instances where it is estimated that the ultimate revenues of a film or television series will not recover those costs. Conversely, the profit from a film or television series must be deferred and recognized over the entire revenue stream generated by that film or television series. As a result, significant fluctuations in reported income or loss can occur, particularly on a quarterly basis, depending on release schedules and broadcast dates, the timing of advertising campaigns and the relative performance of individual film or television series.

Other Estimates -   The Company estimates reserves for future returns of product in the home video markets as well as provisions for uncollectible receivables. In determining the estimate of home video product sales that will be returned, the Company performs an analysis that considers historical returns, changes in customer demand and current economic trends. Based on this information, a percentage of each sale is reserved provided that the customer has the right to return unsold home video inventory. The Company estimates the amount of uncollectible receivables for licensing and advertising by monitoring delinquent accounts and estimating a reserve based on contractual terms and other customer specific issues.

Revenue Recognition — The Company’s revenue recognition policies for its four business segments are appropriate to the circumstances of each segment’s business. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for a discussion of these revenue recognition policies.

4Kids TV Broadcast Agreement — The Company broadcasts certain of its Properties on 4Kids TV, the Saturday morning programming block that the Company leases from Fox. The cost of 4Kids TV has been and will continue to be capitalized and amortized over each broadcast year based on estimated advertising revenue. In developing future estimated revenues, the Company has made certain assumptions with regard to the anticipated popularity of the television series that the Company broadcasts on 4Kids TV and the general market demand and pricing of advertising time for Saturday morning children’s broadcast television. The popularity of such series impacts audience levels and the level of the network advertising rates that the Company can charge. These estimates are based on historical trends, as well as the Company’s subjective judgment of future customer demand and acceptance of its television programming. Differences may result in the amount and timing of revenue for any period if actual performance varies from the Company’s estimates. See Note 9 of the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s 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 assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates the policies and estimates that it uses to prepare its consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, known trends or events, information from third-party professionals and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes —In June 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109Accounting for Income Taxes(“SFAS No. 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 is effective for the period beginning January  1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

19

Fair Value Measurements –In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines “fair value”, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”). This bulletin expresses the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. The interpretations in this bulletin were issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements and the potential under current practice for the build up of improper amounts on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB No. 108 as of December 31, 2006. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of FASB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires that the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans be recognized on companies’ balance sheets and that changes in the funded status be reflected in comprehensive income, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of each such plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Since the Company does not currently have a defined benefit postretirement plan, the adoption of SFAS 158 did not have any impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Continuing Operations

Revenues

Revenues by reportable segment and for the Company as a whole were as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

	2007	2006	$ Change		% Change
Licensing	$  7,930	$  9,507	$(1,577	)	(17	%)
Advertising Media and Broadcast	3,415	3,608	(193	)	(5	%)
Television and Film Production/Distribution	3,586	6,138	(2,552	)	(42	%)
Trading Card and Game Distribution	--	--	--		--	%
Total	$14,931	$19,253	$(4,322	)	(22	%)

The decrease in consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, was due to a number of factors.

In the Licensing segment, decreased revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were primarily attributable to:

(i) reduced licensing revenues on the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” Property worldwide and the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, “Winx Club” and “Pokémon” Properties internationally; partially offset by

(ii) increased revenues attributable to the “Nintendo”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Cabbage Patch” Properties domestically.

The “Cabbage Patch”, “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” Properties continue to be the largest contributors to the Company’s revenues in this business segment.

In the Advertising Media and Broadcast segment, decreased revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, resulted from reduced revenues from the sale of network advertising time on 4Kids TV caused by an overall decrease in the 4Kids TV ratings.

In the Television and Film Production/Distribution segment, the decreased revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulted from:

(i) decreased domestic production service revenue from the “Pokémon”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “One Piece” television series; and

(ii) decreased domestic broadcast sales from the “Pokémon” television series; partially offset by

(iii) increased domestic production service revenue from the “Chaotic” television series.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8%, or $686, to $8,963 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, when compared to the same period 2006. The increase was primarily due to the following:

(i) increased advertising and promotional expense of $277;

(ii) increased compensation costs resulting from the issuance of restricted stock awards of $137;

(iii) increased trade shows expenses of $130;

(iv) increased rent expense of $124; and

(v) increased website expense of $101; partially offset by

(vi) decreased bonus expense of $281.

21

Production Service and Capitalized Film Costs

Production service and capitalized film costs were as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

	2007	2006	$ Change		% Change
Production Service Costs	$1,780	$2,876	$(1,096	)	(38	%)
Amortization of Television and Film Costs	1,687	1,646	41		2	%

The decrease in production service costs during the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, was primarily due to decreased production costs for the “Pokémon”, “One Piece” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” television series, partially offset by increased production costs for the work performed on the “Chaotic” television series. When the Company is entitled to be paid for such production costs, the Company categorizes them as production service costs and reflects a corresponding amount in revenue for the amount billed back to the property owners.

Amortization of television and film costs remained consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006.

As of March 31, 2007, there were $15,306 of capitalized film production costs recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet relating primarily to various stages of production on 282 episodes of animated programming. Based on management’s ultimate revenue estimates as of March 31, 2007, approximately 51% of the total completed and unamortized film and television costs are expected to be amortized during the next year, and over 90% of the total completed and unamortized film and television costs are expected to be amortized during the next three years.

4Kids TV Broadcast Fee

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

	2007	2006	$ Change		% Change
Amortization of 4Kids TV Broadcast Fee	$4,419	$4,808	$(389	)	(8%)

As a result of the broadcast year (ending each year in September) being different than the Company’s fiscal year (ending each year in December), the amount of the amortization of the broadcast fee recognized from period to period will vary based upon: (i) the amount of advertising revenue recognized during the period; and (ii) the amount of advertising revenue already recognized for the broadcast year as a percentage of the total amount expected to be recognized for the full broadcast year. The Company’s amortization of the 4Kids TV broadcast fee decreased by $389, to $4,419 in 2007 from $4,808 in 2006, in conjunction with the decreased fee for the 2006-2007 broadcast season, as well as lower advertising revenues recognized by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.

In addition to advertising revenues, the operating costs of 4Kids Ad Sales and the amortization of the 4Kids TV broadcast fee, the overall impact of 4Kids TV on the Company’s results of operations includes:

(i) revenues generated from merchandise licensing, home videos and music publishing of 4Kids TV Properties; and

(ii) production and acquisition costs associated with the television programs broadcast on 4Kids TV.

The ability of the Company to further develop its merchandising and, to a lesser extent, home video and music publishing revenue streams were significant components of its evaluation process which resulted in the initial decision to lease the 4Kids TV Saturday morning programming block and to extend the lease through the 2007-2008 broadcast season.

Interest Income

Interest income increased 23%, or $200, to $1,087 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, primarily as a result of the increasing interest rate environment and higher average cash balances invested.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $677 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $905 for the same period in 2006. The Company’s effective tax rate was a benefit from income taxes of 81% for 2007 and provision for income taxes of 36% for 2006.

22

Net (Loss) Income

As a result of the above, the Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007, of $205 compared to net income of $1,548, for the same period in 2006.

Discontinued Operations

Effective June 30, 2006, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Summit Media Group, Inc. (“Summit Media”), which previously provided print and broadcast media planning and buying services for clients principally in the children’s toy and game business, terminated its operations. The Company has reallocated capital previously devoted to Summit Media to other business initiatives. As a consequence of the termination of its operations, Summit Media no longer serves as a media buying agency for third parties.

The results of operations for Summit Media are reported as a discontinued operation for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified separately to report the assets, liabilities and operating results of this business.

The following are the summarized results of discontinued operations for the media buying business:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007	2006
Net revenues	$       --	$ 542
Loss before income taxes	--	(162	)
Benefit from income taxes	--	(82	)
Net loss from discontinued operations	$       --	$(80	)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Position

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows:

	2007	2006	$ Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$  17,341	$  18,066	$  (725	)
Investments	94,320	92,910	1,410
	$111,661	$110,976	$    685

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances remained consistent, primarily as a result of an increase in investment income and cash collections of seasonally high fourth quarter accounts receivable, substantially offset by payments made to licensors, Fox and certain affiliates for the 4Kids TV broadcast agreement.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Sources (Uses)	2007		2006		$ Changes
Operating Activities	$ 1,006		$ 12,635		$(11,629	)
Investing Activities	(1,759	)	(35,302	)	33,543
Financing Activities	6		27		(21	)

Working capital, consisting of current assets less current liabilities, was $121,599 as of March 31, 2007, and $123,906 as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities is principally due to the timing of the payment of 4Kids TV broadcast fees paid to Fox, advances related to the production of the “Chaotic” television series and lower net income.

23

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $94,320 invested in tax-exempt and tax-advantaged auction-rate securities and short-term government obligations. The decrease in cash flows from investing activities is primarily due to the fact that the Company’s new investment strategy to purchase auction-rate securities with its excess cash balances was implemented for the first time in the beginning of 2006. In 2007, the Company continues to follow this investment strategy.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company’s cash flow from operations was impacted by consumer demand for a limited number of its licensed Properties.  While the Company strives to further diversify its revenue streams, management remains cognizant of changing trends in the toy, game and entertainment business and the difficulty in predicting the length of time a Property will be commercially successful.  As a result, the Company’s revenues, operating results and cash flow from operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period and present operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Historically, the majority of the television-based Properties that the Company represented were existing episodes of foreign programming that were adapted for the United States and other markets. The Company’s strategic focus has shifted toward Properties like “Chaotic” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, where the Company is a joint copyright owner of the episodes. Therefore, it is the Company’s intention to allocate a larger portion of its capital resources to the production costs associated with developing original animated programming resulting in increased capitalized film and television costs. Following the commercial release of a Property, its overall market acceptance and resulting revenues will directly impact the Company’s amortization of these capitalized film and television costs. To the extent a Property performs at a level less than the Company’s expectations, the ratio of amortization expense to revenues realized will increase. While the Company expects that the revenues associated with such Properties will be sufficient to maintain its historical operating margins, there can be no assurance that the marketing plans designed to achieve those revenues can be executed in a manner to achieve its objectives.

4Kids TV Broadcast Agreement

In January 2002, the Company entered into a multi-year agreement with Fox to lease Fox’s Saturday morning programming block which airs principally on Saturday mornings from 8am to 12pm eastern/pacific time (7am to 11am central time) (“4Kids TV”). The Company provides substantially all programming content to be broadcast on 4Kids TV and retains all of the revenue from network advertising sales for the four-hour time period. 4Kids Ad Sales, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, manages and accounts for the ad revenue and costs associated with 4Kids TV.

In March 2006, the multi-year agreement was extended for two broadcast years through the 2007-2008 broadcast season. As of March 31, 2007, no amounts remain to be paid for the 2006-2007 broadcast season under the amended agreement. The time-buy fee for each of the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 broadcast seasons is $20,000 as compared to the $25,312 paid for each broadcast year during the initial term of the multi-year agreement. The fee is payable in quarterly installments of $5,000 each year beginning in October 2006. The extended agreement also provides Fox with the option to further extend the agreement through the 2008-2009 broadcast season under the same terms and conditions by providing notice to the Company no later than August 31, 2007.

The costs of 4Kids TV is capitalized and amortized over each broadcast year based on estimated advertising revenue for the related broadcast year. The Company recorded amortization expenses of $4,419 and $4,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company paid Fox and certain Fox affiliates $5,044 attributable to the fifth year’s broadcast fees, and during calendar year 2006, the Company paid Fox and certain Fox affiliates $7,058 and $5,491 attributable to the fourth and fifth years’ broadcast fees, respectively. All fees paid to Fox and certain Fox affiliates for the fourth and fifth years’ broadcast seasons were completely amortized as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

In addition to the time-buy fee paid to Fox, the Company incurs additional costs to program the four-hour block and sell the related network advertising time. These costs include direct programming costs to acquire, adapt and deliver programming for the broadcast during the weekly four-hour block as well as additional indirect expenses of advertising sales, promotion and administration.

Contractual Commitments

The Company’s contractual obligations and commitments are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2006.
