NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(In thousands of dollars, except share and per share data)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General Development and Narrative Description of Business - 4Kids Entertainment, Inc., together with the subsidiaries through which its businesses is conducted (the “Company” or “4Kids”), is a licensing company specializing in the youth oriented market. The Company was organized as a New York corporation in 1970.

4Kids’ consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will be able to continue to operate as a going concern. 4Kids historical recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations together with its bankruptcy filing has caused 4Kids’ independent registered public accounting firm, in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2011, to include an explanatory paragraph in their report dated March 22, 2012, expressing substantial doubt about 4Kids’ ability to continue as a going concern.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceedings – On April 6, 2011 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and all of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Cases”) under Title 11 of Chapter 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), which Bankruptcy Cases are jointly administered under Case No. 11-11607. The Company will continue to operate itself and its subsidiaries as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In general, as debtors-in-possession, we are authorized under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 4Kids Entertainment International, Ltd., the Company’s subsidiary based in London, England, and TC Digital Games LLC (“TC Digital”) and TC Websites LLC (“TC Websites”), two domestic subsidiaries in each of which the Company holds a majority ownership, were not included in the filing and will continue to operate outside the Bankruptcy Cases.

Shortly after the Petition Date, the Debtors began notifying all known current or potential creditors of the Debtors regarding the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceedings or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover on, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Petition Date. Thus, for example, most creditor actions to obtain possession of property from the Debtors, or to create, perfect or enforce any lien against the property of the Debtors, or to collect on monies owed or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to a pre-petition claim are enjoined unless and until the Bankruptcy Court lifts the automatic stay.

After the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases, the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the “Creditors’ Committee”). The Creditors’ Committee and its legal representatives have a right to be heard on all matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the Debtors. There can be no assurance that the Creditors’ Committee will support the Debtors’ positions on matters to be presented to the Bankruptcy Court in the future or on any bankruptcy plan, once proposed. Disagreements between the Debtors and the Creditors’ Committee could protract the Bankruptcy Cases, negatively impact the Debtors’ ability to operate and delay the Debtors’ emergence from Chapter 11. Under Section 365 and other relevant sections of the Bankruptcy Code, we may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including, without limitation, leases of real property and equipment, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease in this report, including, where applicable, our express termination rights or a quantification of our obligations, must be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, any overriding rejection rights we have under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

On February 29, 2012, 4Kids and the Licensors (hereinafter defined) entered into a Settlement Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2012 (the “Settlement Agreement”), settling all claims brought by Licensors against 4Kids and all counterclaims brought by 4Kids against the Licensors in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Litigation. The Settlement Agreement provides, among other things, for the Licensors to make a payment to 4Kids in the amount of $8,000 upon the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Settlement Agreement becoming a final order. On March 9, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the Settlement Agreement and, accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on litigation settlement of $8,000. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Licensors acknowledged that the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement (hereinafter defined) remained valid, binding and legally enforceable with 4Kids continuing to serve as the exclusive licensing agent for the merchandise

licensing, television broadcast and home video rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Property throughout the world outside of Asia. The Settlement Agreement further provided for each of 4Kids and the Licensors to release each other from all claims they may have against each other, other than certain indemnification claims and claims that may arise under the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the agreement does not constitute an admission by any party of any violation of any agreement or law. On March 27, 2012, 4Kids received the payment in the amount of $8,000 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

On April 26, 2012, the Debtors entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), which contemplated the sale of substantially all of its assets to Kidsco Media Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and an affiliate of Saban Capital Group (“Kidsco” or “Saban Bidder”) for a purchase price of $10,000, subject to certain adjustments (the “Purchase Price”). The transaction was proposed as a sale of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The transaction was subject to, among other things, (i) competitive bidding pursuant to sale procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing on April 27, 2012 (the “Bidding Procedures”), and (ii) approval of the transaction by the Bankruptcy Court.

In May 2012, the Company received a competing bid (the “Konami Bid”) from 4K Acquisition Corp. (the “Konami Bidder”), an indirect subsidiary of Konami Corporation, a Japanese corporation (“Konami”). In the competing bid the Konami Bidder offered to purchase substantially all of the assets of the Company in a transaction under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Konami Bid, in the judgment of the Company, represented a Qualified Bid under the terms of the Bidding Procedures.

On June 5, 2012, the Company commenced an auction between the Saban Bidder and the Konami Bidder. During the auction, each of the bidders made several improved bids. After several rounds of competitive bidding, the auction was adjourned to allow the bidders to consider an alternative transaction among the Company, the Konami Bidder and the Saban Bidder pursuant to which each of the bidders would acquire certain assets of the Company. The proposed alternative transaction represented a substantial improvement in the proceeds payable to the Company over the last bid made prior to such adjournment. The possible alternative transaction has conditioned upon the negotiation of definitive documentation among the Company, the Konami Bidder and the Saban Bidder and the approval of such alternative transaction by the Bankruptcy Court.

On June 24, 2012, the Debtors entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), which contemplated the sale of substantially all of its assets to (i) Saban Bidder, and (ii) Konami Bidder, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000, subject to certain adjustments (the “Purchase Price”). The transaction was a sale pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. On June 26, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final sale order approving the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. On July 2, 2012, the Debtors completed the sale pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the consummation of such transactions, the Konami Purchaser paid the Debtors an aggregate amount equal to $14,997, representing a base purchase price of $15,000, less a $3 downward adjustment contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

While the consummation of the Settlement Agreement and the completion of the asset sale pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement represent significant steps in the process of resolving the Bankruptcy Cases, the timing of any resolution of the Bankruptcy Cases will depend on the timing and outcome of numerous other ongoing matters therein, and it is not possible at this time to accurately predict when such other matters will be resolved. We have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with the Bankruptcy Cases. The amount of these costs, which began in April 2011 and are being expensed as incurred, are expected to significantly affect our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. The Bankruptcy Cases have also presented challenges to our ability to generate additional revenues.

Liquidity - In recent years, the Company has incurred substantial net losses and has used substantial amounts of cash in its operating activities. Sales by the Company of certain securities held in its investment portfolio as well as certain other assets have significantly contributed to the funding of these operating losses. While the timing of these sales was not primarily motivated by then current cash needs, without these sales the Company would not have had sufficient cash to fund its operations.

losses and the limited liquidity available to it to fund day-to-day operations raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Since the Company has completed the sale of a substantial portion of its assets and has discontinued a significant portion of its business, the Board of Directors may choose to propose a bankruptcy plan, which plan would be subject to the approval of the creditors and other claimants in the Bankruptcy Cases as well as the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that a proposed bankruptcy plan will be approved by the required classes of voters or that the Bankruptcy Court will conclude that such plan satisfies all requirements necessary for confirmation. In the event that a bankruptcy plan is approved, the Company would proceed to make distributions in accordance with the plan and the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. Under a plan, the Company would be obliged to pay all administrative claims, priority and unsecured claims.

Licensing - The Licensing business 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 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.

The “Yu-Gi-Oh!” Property, which was sold pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, was the largest contributor for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, representing approximately 91% and 87%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues.

Discontinued Operations - On July 2, 2012, 4Kids completed the sale of certain of its assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The assets sold by the Debtors to the Konami Bidder (the “Konami Purchased Assets”) included, inter alia, all of Debtors’ right, title and interest in and to the business of Debtors relating to and commercial use of Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Japanese manga (also known as cartoon or comic) created by Kazuki Takahashi and the related brand and franchise (the “Konami Purchased Business”), as well as other assets relating to the Konami Purchased Business. 4Kids was party to an agreement with Konami Corporation, dated as of August 1, 2001, as amended by the First Amendment, dated September 12, 2007 (the “Konami Agreement”), which agreement related to, inter alia, sales of Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards and videogames. The Konami Agreement was included as part of the Konami Purchased Assets transferred to the Konami Bidder in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement on July 2, 2012.

The assets sold by the Debtors to the Saban Bidder included, inter alia, all of Debtors’ right, title and interest in and to the television business of the Debtors, including the CW Agreement and the television episodes and rights related thereto (the “Saban Purchased Business”), as well as other assets relating to the Saban Purchased Business.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the corresponding assets sold, and due to their continued lack of profitability, effective June 30, 2012, the Company terminated the operations of 4Kids Ad Sales, Inc. (“4Kids Ad Sales”), 4Kids Productions, Inc. (“4Kids Productions”), 4Kids Entertainment Music, Inc. (“4Kids Music”) and 4Kids Entertainment Home Video, Inc. (“4Kids Home Video”). Additionally, effective September 30, 2010, the Company terminated the operations of TC Digital and TC Websites. The results of operations of the following segments are reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations (see Note 8).

Advertising Media and Broadcast - The Company, through a multi-year agreement (the “CW Agreement”) with The CW Network, LLC (“The CW”), leased The CW’s Saturday morning programming block (“The CW4Kids”) which broadcasts in most markets from 7am to 12pm for an initial term of five years beginning with The CW's 2008-2009 broadcast season. The Company provided substantially all programming content to be broadcast on The CW4Kids. 4Kids Ad Sales, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, retained a portion of the revenue from its sale of network advertising time for the five-hour time period.

The Advertising Media and Broadcast segment also generated revenues from the sale of advertising on the Company’s multiple websites. These websites also showcase and promote The CW4Kids, as well as its many Properties.

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; 4Kids Music; and 4Kids Home Video. 4Kids Productions produced and adapted 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 composed original music for incorporation into television programming produced by 4Kids Productions and markets and managed such music. 4Kids Home Video distributed home videos associated with television programming produced by 4Kids Productions.

Trading Card and Game Distribution - Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 4Kids Digital, the Company owns 55% of TC Digital, a Delaware limited liability company which produced, marketed and distributed the “Chaotic” trading card game. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 4Kids Websites, Inc. (“4Kids Websites”), the Company owns 55% of TC Websites, a Delaware limited liability company which owns and operated www.chaoticgame.com, the companion website for the “Chaotic” trading card game. 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. Effective September 30, 2010, the Company terminated the operations of TC Digital and TC Websites due to their continued lack of profitability. As a consequence of the termination of their operations, TC Digital and TC Websites ceased supporting the Chaotic trading card game and website, effective October 1, 2010.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements, except for the December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet, are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. 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.

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. If the Company has no significant direct continuing involvement with the underlying Property or obligation to the licensee, the Company recognizes guaranteed royalties, net of licensor participations, at the time the arrangement becomes effective as long as the license period has commenced. 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.

Fair Value Measurements - The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments reflect the estimates of amounts that would be received from selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to the Company as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due to licensors, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximate fair value. The authoritative guidance issued by the FASB includes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, the first two of which are considered observable and the last of which is considered unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The three levels are the following:

·	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

·	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets Held for Sale – Assets held for sale are valued at lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using information on known purchase price commitments from buyers, less estimated incremental direct costs to sell the property in question. Changes in the purchase prices due to market conditions, a potential buyer’s due diligence process or other factors beyond our control such as the emergence of unanticipated selling costs can materially affect estimates of fair value and the amount of impairment charges recorded in a particular period.

Reorganization Items - The Company’s costs related to professional, consulting and trustee fees, as the case may be, in conjunction with the Bankruptcy Cases are expensed as incurred and reported as reorganization items in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to 2012 presentation.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) - The Company classifies items as other comprehensive loss 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 in “other comprehensive loss”, net of related tax.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – There have been no recent accounting pronouncements expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations and cash flow.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards – In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The objective of ASU 2011-05 is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting, to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income, and to facilitate convergence of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards. To achieve this, the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. Finally, current GAAP does not require an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income, which is required by the guidance in ASU 2011-05. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s 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, shares of restricted stock, and other stock-based awards. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of non-employee directors. The Company’s recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the statement of operations over the vesting period is based on the fair value of the award at the grant date.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company granted restricted stock awards of approximately 378,000 shares on May 22, 2009 under its 2008 long-term incentive compensation plan (“LTICP”). The restricted stock awards were granted to certain employees, including officers and members of the Board of Directors, at a grant price of $1.46 (the average of the high and low stock price from the previous day of trading). The restricted stock awards vest annually over a period of three years from the date of grant, 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 LTICPs as of June 30, 2012 and changes during the six months then ended is presented as follows:

	Number of Shares (in thousands)		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2012		61	$	1.46
Granted		—		—
Vested		61		1.46
Forfeited		—		—
Outstanding at June 30, 2012		—	$	—

The Company recognized approximately $22 and $35 of compensation costs related to the LTICPs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively and $99 and $115 of compensation costs related to the LTICPs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Additionally, as of the six months ended June 30, 2012, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s 2008 LTICPs.

Availability for Future Issuance – As of June 30, 2012, (i) options to purchase approximately 1,973,000 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 approximately 808,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for future issuance under the Company’s LTICPs, reduced by four shares for each share of restricted stock awarded under the 2006 and 2005 LTICPs, under which an aggregate of approximately 210,000 shares of the 808,000 total shares were available for issuance as options, and reduced by two shares for each share of restricted stock awarded under the 2008 and 2007 LTICPs, under which an aggregate of approximately 598,000 of the 808,000 total shares were available for issuance as options.

4. INCOME TAXES

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

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Current	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—
Deferred		2,582			1,781			807			2,722
	$	2,582		$	1,781		$	807		$	2,722
Less: Changes in Valuation allowance		(2,582	)		(1,781	)		(807	)		(2,722	)
Total	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Income tax expense (benefit) is determined using the asset and liability method provided for in the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB. Deferred income taxes are recognized at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between amounts reported for income tax purposes and financial reporting purposes. Deferred taxes are provided for the undistributed earnings as if they were to be distributed. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability taking into consideration such factors as historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. The Company

records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In view of the level of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2012 and the Company’s historical losses from operations, the Company has determined that it should record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company did not record tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as it has net operating loss available to offset any taxable income forecast for the year ending December 31, 2012. The Company did not record a benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 as it was not be able to carryback any of its 2011 net operating losses and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize its deferred tax assets. The Company has not recorded any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

In the event that the Company earns pre-tax income in the future such that it will be able to use some or all of its deferred tax assets, the Company may reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance. If the Company were to reverse the valuation allowance, in whole or in part, the Company’s income statement for such reporting period would record a reduction in income tax expense and an increase in net income, to the extent of the reversal of the valuation allowance.

The Company is no longer subject to examinations by income tax authorities in most jurisdictions for years prior to 2007.

5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company computes basic EPS based solely on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB. Diluted EPS reflects all potential dilution of common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 0 and 4,306 shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding options, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was antidilutive.

6. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE

Liabilities subject to compromise refers to unsecured obligations that will be accounted for under any bankruptcy plan. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of liabilities arising prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases (“Pre-Petition Liabilities”) are stayed. The authoritative guidance issued by the FASB requires Pre-Petition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. These liabilities represent the estimated amount expected to be allowed on known or potential claims to be resolved through the Bankruptcy Cases, and remain subject to future adjustments arising from negotiated settlements, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, the determination as to the value of collateral securing the claims, proofs of claim, or other events. Liabilities subject to compromise also include certain items that may be assumed under a plan of reorganization, and as such, may be subsequently reclassified to liabilities not subject to compromise. Unless otherwise provided for in the Bankruptcy Code or any “claims bar date order” entered in the Bankruptcy Cases, holders of pre-petition claims are required to file proofs of claims by the “bar date” established with approval of the Bankruptcy Court. A bar date is the date by which certain claims against the Debtors must be filed if the claimants wish to receive any distribution in Bankruptcy Cases. Creditors have been notified that April 18, 2012 is the bar date in the Bankruptcy Cases and were required to file a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court by that date. Differences between liability amounts estimated by the Debtors and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and, if necessary, the Bankruptcy Court will make a final determination of the amount of any allowable claim. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be treated cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves a bankruptcy plan. Accordingly, the ultimate amount or treatment of such liabilities is not determinable at this time.

Liabilities subject to compromise consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Due to Licensors	$	2,668	$	2,627
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses		4,887		4,880
Total	$	7,555	$	7,507

Liabilities subject to compromise includes trade accounts payable related to pre-petition purchases, not all of which were paid. As a result, the Company’s cash flows from operations were favorably affected by the stay of payment related to these accounts payable. Included in liabilities subject compromise at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are approximately $5,397 and $5,418, respectively, which relates to discontinued operations.

7. SEVERANCE AND EXIT COSTS

In connection with the termination of the discontinued operations, the Company recorded charges for severance and termination benefits as well as other exit costs in the amount of approximately $1,592 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The charges were attributable to certain exit costs incurred during the period, including the elimination of sales and related support positions as well as certain other management positions.

A summary of the actions taken for severance and other exit-costs have been recorded in loss from discontinued operations and the estimated remaining liability associated with such costs are as follows:

	Total Expenses		Remaining Liability as of June 30, 2012
Severance and related costs	$	457	$	544
Disposal of capitalized film costs		1,135		—
Termination of contracts and leases		—		485
Total	$	1,592	$	1,029

The liability for severance and exit costs will be paid in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court, as well as the provisions of contractual agreements, and payments may occur at various times throughout 2012.

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the corresponding assets sold and due to their continued lack of profitability, effective June 30, 2012, the Company terminated the operations of 4Kids Ad Sales, 4Kids Productions, 4Kids Music and 4Kids Home Video. Additionally, effective September 30, 2010, the Company terminated the operations of TC Digital and TC Websites. The results of operations for the advertising media and broadcast segment, television and film production/distribution segment and the trading card and game distribution segment are reported as a discontinued operation and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all prior periods to report the assets, liabilities and operating results of this business.

		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
		June 30,						June 30,
		2012			2011			2012			2011
Net revenues	$	725		$	994		$	1,438		$	1,674
Total costs and expenses		5,705			4,489			9,543			8,263
Loss from discontinued operations	$	(4,980	)	$	(3,495	)	$	(8,105	)	$	(6,589	)

Included in current and noncurrent assets of discontinued operations are assets held for sale of approximately $2,625.

9. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

As of June 30, 2012, the Company intended to dispose of various assets, from continuing operations, which are classified as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with ASC 360. The following table summarizes the major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale at June 30, 2012:

	June 30, 2012
Other assets - net	$	1,492
Property and equipment – net		164

As of June 30, 2012, property and equipment listed as assets held for sale are no longer being depreciated.

10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

TCD International, Ltd. - On February 12, 2010, Home Focus Development, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands Corporation, (“Home Focus”) filed suit against 4Kids in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Home Focus alleged that 4Kids owed Home Focus $1,075 under an Interest Purchase Agreement among 4Kids, Home Focus and TC Digital entered into on March 2, 2009, pursuant to which the Company acquired a 25% ownership interest in TCD International, Ltd. (“TDI”).

On April 26, 2010, 4Kids filed an answer and asserted various counterclaims against Home Focus and its owners, in their individual capacities. In its counterclaims, 4Kids has alleged that Home Focus failed to make its contractually required initial capital contribution of $250 to TDI necessary to acquire the 25% ownership interest in TDI it purported to sell to the Company and also failed to contribute its 50% share of the expenses. 4Kids has further asserted counterclaims of fraud and misrepresentation.

During the last few months, the parties have not proceeded with the litigation in light of the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases on April 6, 2011, which had the effect of automatically staying such litigation. The parties have had substantive discussions and have exchanged draft agreements regarding the possible resolution of the claims and counterclaims. There can be no assurance that the parties will conclude their settlement discussions satisfactorily.

Pokémon Royalty Audit - During the first quarter of 2010, The Pokémon Company International (“TPC”) commenced an audit of 4Kids covering the period from mid-2001 through 2008. On May 28, 2010, 4Kids received a letter from counsel for TPC (“TPC Letter”) claiming that the audit “identified deficiencies totaling almost $4,700” and demanding payment of the deficiency together with interest thereon. The TPC Letter failed to provide any schedules or other specific information regarding the alleged deficiencies. By letter dated June 11, 2010 (“4Kids Letter”), 4Kids disputed the allegations made in the TPC Letter and advised TPC that 4Kids would not be paying the alleged deficiency or any interest thereon. The 4Kids Letter also proposed that, as had been discussed by the parties, 4Kids would audit TPC which was the recipient and payee of Pokémon merchandise licensing, television broadcast and home video proceeds during the 2001 - 2008 period, and that after the completion of the parties’ respective audits, the parties would review the audit reports and discuss any outstanding issues.

On July 14, 2010, 4Kids and TPC executed a tolling agreement tolling the statute of limitations until October 21, 2010 with respect to TPC’s claims. 4Kids and TPC also agreed in the tolling agreement that neither party would commence any litigation against the other party until after the expiration of the tolling period in order to allow for the parties to complete their respective audits and to discuss the results thereof. During mid-June 2010, 4Kids commenced its audit of TPC which was completed in December 2010. On October 12, 2010, 4Kids and TPC executed an amendment to the tolling agreement extending the tolling of the statute of limitations until January 15, 2011. On January 26, 2011, 4Kids and TPC executed a second amendment to the tolling agreement extending the tolling of the statute of limitations until March 15, 2011. On March 25, 2011, 4Kids and TPC executed a third amendment to the tolling agreement extending the tolling of the statute of limitations until April 15, 2011. The parties have not sought to further extend the tolling agreement in light of the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases on April 6, 2011, which had the effect of automatically staying such claims. On or about April 15, 2011, TPC filed various proofs of claim in the 4Kids Bankruptcy Cases.

After the closing on July 2, 2012 of the sale pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the parties resumed settlement discussions.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Royalty Audit - During the first quarter of 2010, ADK, one of the Licensors, commenced an audit of 4Kids with respect to the amounts paid by 4Kids to ADK during the course of the 4Kids representation of Yu-Gi-Oh!, which started in 2001.

On June 25, 2010, 4Kids received a letter from counsel for ADK (“ADK Letter”) alleging that 4Kids had improperly deducted certain expenses from amounts paid to ADK and had failed to pay ADK a share of certain Yu-Gi-Oh! home video revenues. In addition, the ADK Letter requested that 4Kids provide additional documentation with respect to withholding taxes deducted from ADK’s share of Yu-Gi-Oh! revenues. The ADK Letter claimed that the total of the improper deductions and underpayments was approximately $3,000. By letter dated June 29, 2010 (“4Kids Yu-Gi-Oh! Letter”), 4Kids disputed substantially all of the allegations contained in the ADK Letter.

The ADK Letter also demanded that 4Kids and ADK sign a tolling agreement with an effective date of June 1, 2010 which would stop the running of the statute of limitations during the four month tolling period starting on June 1, 2010 and concluding on September 30, 2010. On June 29, 2010, 4Kids and ADK entered into the tolling agreement described above. On October 19, 2010, 4Kids and ADK signed an amendment to the tolling agreement extending the tolling period through December 31, 2010.

On December 20, 2010, 4Kids received a letter from ADK which alleged audit findings of $4,819. By letters dated December 29, 2010, 4Kids disputed substantially all of the alleged audit findings. On January 11, 2011, the parties entered into another amendment to the tolling agreement extending the tolling period through March 31, 2011.

On March 4, 2011, ADK requested a payment from the Company in order for representatives of the Licensors to agree to meet with representatives of the Company. On March 17, 2011, 4Kids made a $1,000 payment to ADK as a show of good-faith so that a meeting could take place with ADK to attempt to resolve the audit claims. Notwithstanding the $1,000 good-faith payment, the Company also reserved its rights to dispute all of ADK’s audit claims. On March 18, 2011, representatives of 4Kids met with representatives of ADK in a further, but ultimately unsuccessful, attempt to resolve the outstanding issues.

On March 24, 2011, 4Kids received a letter from the Nihon Ad Systems, Inc., on behalf of itself and TV Tokyo Corporation (collectively, the “Licensors”), purporting to terminate the agreement dated July 1, 2008 between the Licensors and 4Kids with respect to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Property (the “Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement”) for alleged breaches of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement by 4Kids. The purported termination letter did not comply with the 10 business day notice and cure provision in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement. On March 24, 2011, the Licensors filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York also claiming that the Company has breached the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement on grounds substantially the same as those asserted in its audit findings and seeking more than $4,700 in damages (the “Yu-Gi-Oh! Litigation”).

On March 27, 2011, 4Kids, responding to the letter from the Licensors, completely rejected the purported termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement by the Licensors as wrongful and devoid of any factual and legal basis. On March 30, 2011, the Company received a letter from counsel to the Licensors reiterating the Licensors’ position with respect to the termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement.

The commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases automatically “stayed” the Yu-Gi-Oh! Litigation until such time as the Bankruptcy Court may order otherwise.

On May 13, 2011, the Debtors made a motion in the Bankruptcy Court for an order enforcing the automatic stay with respect to 4Kids’ rights under the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement, requesting that the Bankruptcy Court confirm that the automatic stay applied to the purported termination of such agreement by the Licensors on March 24, 2011. On May 18, 2011, the United States District Court judge approved the stipulated order referring the litigation to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 2, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered a stipulated Order confirming that the automatic stay applied to the purported termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement and reaffirmed that 4Kids may exercise its rights under the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement pending the outcome of the litigation between 4Kids and the Licensors.

On June 10, 2011, 4Kids filed its answer and counterclaims against the Licensors. 4Kids disputed substantially all of the audit claims asserted by Licensors in their complaint and asserted counterclaims against the Licensors arising from the termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement. The 4Kids counterclaims seek damages from the Licensors’ wrongful termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement.

The trial in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Litigation, initially to determine whether the purported termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement was effective and whether any amounts owed by 4Kids to the Licensors exceed the credits claimed by 4Kids for amounts paid or advanced to Licensors, commenced in the Bankruptcy Court on August 29, 2011 and concluded on September 23, 2011.

On December 29, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued its decision ruling in favor of 4Kids in the first phase of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Litigation. In its 154 page decision, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement was not effectively terminated by the Licensors prior to the 4Kids’ bankruptcy filing on April 6, 2011. Rather, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement remained in full force and effect and is property of the 4Kids’ bankrupt estate. In addition, the Court’s opinion carefully considered each of the Licensors’ nine audit findings totaling over $4,700 and concluded that audit findings totaling approximately 99% of the amount claimed by the Licensors were "meritless". The remaining two audit claims totaling $48, which 4Kids does not dispute, were offset by the roughly $800 credit balance in favor of 4Kids as of March 24, 2011, the date that the Licensors sent 4Kids the purported notice of termination, and the $1,000 good-faith payment made by 4Kids on March 17, 2011 which was subsequently returned to 4Kids on January 24, 2012.

On February 29, 2012, 4Kids and the Licensors entered into a Settlement Agreement settling all claims brought by Licensors against 4Kids and all counterclaims brought by 4Kids against the Licensors in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Litigation. The Settlement Agreement provides, among other things, for the Licensors to make a payment to 4Kids in the amount of $8,000 upon the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Settlement Agreement becoming a final order. On March 9, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the Settlement Agreement. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Licensors acknowledged that the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement remained valid, binding and legally enforceable with 4Kids continuing to serve as the exclusive licensing agent for the merchandise licensing, television broadcast and home video rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Property throughout the world outside of Asia. The Settlement Agreement further provided for each of 4Kids and the Licensors to release each other from all claims they may have against each other, other than certain indemnification claims and claims that may arise under the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the agreement does not constitute an admission by any party of any violation of any agreement or law. On March 27, 2012, 4Kids received the payment in the amount of $8,000 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

Wildcat Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC v. 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. et al. - On July 5, 2011, Wildcat Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC filed suit against 4Kids, Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, Inc., Electronic Arts Inc., Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., Nintendo of America Inc., Panini America, Inc., Pokémon USA, Inc., Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC, Sony Online Entertainment LLC, The Topps Company, Inc., Wizards of the Coast LLC and Zynga Inc. (collectively the “Wildcat Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas seeking damages and other various fees. The suit alleges that the Wildcat Defendants infringed upon United States Patent Number 6,200,216 entitled “Electronic Trading Card”. Since the Wildcat suit with respect to 4Kids pertains to alleged actions by 4Kids occurring prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, the Wildcat suit is “stayed” by the 4Kids bankruptcy. Wildcat did not file a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Cases by the April 18, 2012 claims bar date.

Lehman Brothers, Inc. Claim - The Company believes that Lehman Brothers, Inc., the securities broker-dealer that purchased the auction rate securities on behalf of the Company violated its legal obligations to the Company. As a result, the Company took various measures to obtain appropriate legal relief, including initiating an arbitration on April 3, 2008 against Lehman Brothers, Inc. and the brokers who had serviced the Company’s Lehman account with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Lehman Brothers, Inc., filed for bankruptcy. The Company’s arbitration proceeding was stayed by the Lehman bankruptcy. On September 16, 2008, Barclays PLC announced that it had reached an agreement to purchase the assets of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.’s North American operations, including substantial assets of Lehman Brothers, Inc. The Lehman-Barclays transaction was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on September 20, 2008. On September 19, 2008, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) filed a proceeding, placing Lehman Brothers, Inc. in liquidation under the Securities Investor Protection Act (“SIPA”). SIPC, pursuant to its authority under SIPA, has acted to facilitate the transfer of Lehman Brothers, Inc.’s customer accounts (including the Company’s accounts) to Barclays, PLC. In late September, 2009, the Company filed a proof of claim against Lehman Brothers, Inc. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The principal amount of the claim was approximately $31,500 plus interest. In addition, the proof of claim requested treble damages. The proof of claim is a general unsecured claim. The Company’s claim against Lehman Brothers, Inc. is still pending and there has been no determination made as to the validity or allowed amount of the claim. On October 18, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and general release with the brokers who had serviced the Company’s account with Lehman Brothers, Inc. for approximately $489.

The CW - On April 11, 2012, 4Kids received a letter (the “Original Letter”), from the CW pursuant to which the CW gave notice to 4Kids pursuant to Section 5.h of the CW Agreement, to the effect that 4Kids has not made a payment required by the CW Agreement. The amount set forth in the Original Letter as being owed by 4Kids to the CW in respect of such payment is alleged to be $3,688. Pursuant to the provisions of the CW Agreement, if a payment required to be made by 4Kids under the CW Agreement is not made within ten days of the receipt of notice from the CW, the CW is entitled to exercise various rights and remedies including terminating the CW Agreement.

Following discussions between representatives of 4Kids and the CW, 4Kids received another letter from the CW on April 19, 2012, which was revised and re-sent to 4Kids on April 24, 2012 (the “Second Letter”). Pursuant to the Second Letter, the CW indicated that it would not terminate or seek to terminate the CW Agreement based on the failure of 4Kids to pay the amounts alleged to be owed under the CW Agreement, so long as certain conditions identified in the Second Letter are satisfied, including that:

1. A motion (“Kidsco Sale Motion”) to approve the sale of certain of 4Kids’ assets (including the CW Agreement) to Kidsco (such sale, a “Section 363 Sale”) is filed with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Debtors’ Bankruptcy Cases, no later than April 25, 2012, such motion is granted no later than June 30, 2012, and such Section 363 Sale must close no later than July 17, 2012; and

2. The CW Agreement can only be sold to Kidsco (or any other entity as the CW may approve of, in its sole discretion).

The Second Letter further provided that the CW reserved all rights and remedies, including the right to terminate or seek to terminate the CW Agreement, if any of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied.

4Kids satisfied the first condition of the Second Letter by filing the Kidsco Sale Motion with the Bankruptcy Court on April 18, 2012 prior to the April 25, 2012 deadline. 4Kids satisfied the second condition of the Second Letter since the Section 363 Sale closed on July 2, 2012, prior to the July 17, 2012 deadline. Pursuant to the Section 363 Sale, 4Kids assumed the CW Agreement and assigned the CW agreement to Kidsco. In addition, at the closing of the Section 363 Sale, 4Kids paid the sum of $3,051 to the CW, the agreed-upon cure amount necessary to be paid to the CW in order for 4Kids to assume the CW Agreement. As part of the closing of the Section 363 Sale, 4Kids also received a release from the CW releasing 4Kids from any and all claims under the CW Agreement.

The Company, from time to time, is involved in litigation, contract disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. Except as described above, 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 Properties is the subject or any claims made against it will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or the results of its operations or cash flows.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 agreements, as each of these agreements also have specific provisions relating to rights granted, territory and contractual term.

Under Section 365 and other relevant sections of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including, without limitation, leases of real property and equipment, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease in this report, including where applicable our express termination rights or a quantification of our obligations, must be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, any overriding rejection rights we have under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

12. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST RELATED TO DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As of January 1, 2009, all earnings and losses of a subsidiary are attributed to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest, even if the losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest result in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance. Previously, any losses exceeding the noncontrolling interest’s investment in the subsidiaries were attributed to the parent.

Effective September 30, 2010, the Company has terminated the operations of TC Digital and TC Websites due to their continued lack of profitability. As a consequence of the termination of their operations, TC Digital and TC Websites ceased supporting the Chaotic trading card game and website, effective October 1, 2010 (see Note 8, Discontinued Operations).

a) TC Digital Games LLC - TC Digital was formed in December 2006. 4Kids Digital has owned 55% of TC Digital’s membership interests, and Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, Inc. (“CUSA”) has owned the remaining 45% of TC Digital’s membership interests, since December 2007. TC Digital is treated as a consolidated subsidiary of the Company as a result of its majority ownership and its right to break any dead-locks within the TC Digital Management Committee.

Noncontrolling interest of membership units in TC Digital represents the noncontrolling members’ proportionate share of the equity in the entity. Income is allocated to the membership units noncontrolling interest based on the ownership percentage throughout the year. As of June 30, 2012, the noncontrolling member continued to hold 45% of the equity in the entity. The following table summarizes the noncontrolling interest’s loss attributable to the noncontrolling equity interest in TC Digital:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

As of June 30, 2012, the loss in excess of noncontrolling interest for TC Digital absorbed by 4Kids Digital, in the aggregate, since the formation of such entity is $22,037.

b) TC Websites LLC - Under the terms of the TC Websites Operating Agreement (“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 deadlocks on TC Websites' Management Committee with respect to operational matters. TC Websites is treated as a consolidated subsidiary of the Company as a result of its majority ownership and its right to break any deadlocks within the TC Websites Management Committee.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 2, 2012, 4Kids completed the sale of certain of its assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on June 24, 2012, among Saban Bidder, and Konami Bidder (the “Purchasers”). In connection with the consummation of such transactions, the Konami Bidder paid the Debtors an aggregate amount equal to $14,997, representing a base purchase price of $15,000, less a $3 downward adjustment contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. In addition, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, the following payments were made by or on behalf of the Debtors:

(a) $1,000 was delivered to the escrow agent under the escrow agreements provided for in the Asset Purchase Agreement, to be used to satisfy any indemnification obligations that the Debtors may have to either of the Purchasers pursuant to the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement;

(b) $3 was paid to the escrow agent as the Debtors’ portion of fees payable to it for its performance of services as escrow agent under the escrow agreements;

(c) $3,051 was paid to The CW as a cure cost under the term sheet originally entered into with the CW as of October 1, 2007 and amended as of October 2, 2008 and June 23, 2010 (the “CW Agreement”);

(d) $429 was paid to Toei Animation as a cure cost;

(e) $28 was paid to Twenty Three R.P. Associates as a cure cost;

(f) approximately $21 was paid to satisfy cure costs under other agreements; and

(g) $504 was paid to the Saban Bidder in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, with $476 representing an adjustment to the purchase price for the Saban Purchased Business and $28 representing the Debtors’ share of national advertising proceeds from the broadcast of commercials during the second calendar quarter of 2012 on the five hour Saturday morning block of programs telecast on The CW Network.

The assets sold by the Debtors to the Konami Bidder (the “Konami Purchased Assets”) included, inter alia, all of Debtors’ right, title and interest in and to the business of Debtors relating to and commercial use of Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Japanese manga (also known as cartoon or comic) created by Kazuki Takahashi and the related brand and franchise (the “Konami Purchased Business”), as well as other assets relating to the Konami Purchased Business. 4Kids was party to an agreement with Konami Corporation, dated as of August 1, 2001, as amended by the First Amendment, dated September 12, 2007 (the “Konami Agreement”), which agreement related to, inter alia, sales of Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards and videogames. The Konami Agreement was included as part of the Konami Purchased Assets transferred to the Konami Bidder in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement on July 2, 2012.

The assets sold by the Debtors to the Saban Bidder included, inter alia, all of Debtors’ right, title and interest in and to the television business of the Debtors including the CW Agreement and certain television episodes and rights related thereto (the “Saban Purchased Business”), as well as other assets relating to the Saban Purchased Business.

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 six months ended June 30, 2012 were primarily impacted by the receipt of a payment to 4Kids in the amount of $8,000 based upon the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Settlement Agreement becoming a final order which resulted in the Company recognizing a gain on litigation settlement of $8,000. The Company continues to experience declining popularity of its existing Properties combined with the failure of new Properties to achieve satisfactory popularity levels. In addition, the Company continues to incur costs associated with the Bankruptcy Cases, which costs the Company expects to continue to incur throughout the Bankruptcy proceedings. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the corresponding assets sold and due to their continued lack of profitability, effective June 30, 2012, the Company terminated the operations of 4Kids Ad Sales, 4Kids Productions, 4Kids Music and 4Kids Home Video. The “Yu-Gi-Oh!” Property, which was sold pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, was the largest contributor for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, representing approximately 91% and 87%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues.

4Kids historical recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations has caused 4Kids’ independent registered public accounting firm, in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2011, to include an explanatory paragraph in their report dated March 22, 2012, expressing substantial doubt about 4Kids’ ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

would proceed to make distributions in accordance with the plan and the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. Under a plan, the Company would be obliged to pay all administrative claims, priority and unsecured claims.

General

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.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the corresponding assets sold and due to their continued lack of profitability, effective June 30, 2012, the Company terminated the operations of 4Kids Ad Sales, 4Kids Productions, 4Kids Music and 4Kids Home Video. The results of operations for the advertising media and broadcast segment, television and film production/distribution segment and the trading card and game distribution segment are reported as a discontinued operation and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all prior periods to report the assets, liabilities and operating results of this business.

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.

Reorganization Items - The Company’s costs relate to professional, consulting and trustee fees in conjunction with the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases. These types of expenditures are expensed as incurred and reported as reorganization items.

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 trading card and home video inventory. The Company estimates the amount of uncollectible receivables from its business segments 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 are appropriate to the circumstances of its business. See Note 2 of the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for a discussion of these revenue recognition policies.

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.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth our results of operations expressed as a percentage of total net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
		2012		2011	$ Change			% Change
Revenues	$	1,563	$	1,786	$	(223	)		(12	)%

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
		2012		2011	$ Change			% Change
Revenues	$	2,933	$	4,976	$	(2,043	)		(41	)%

The decrease in consolidated net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011, was due to a number of factors.

Decreased revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were primarily attributable to reduced licensing revenues on the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and “The Dog” Properties, worldwide, of approximately $60 and $65, respectively.

Decreased revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were primarily attributable to:

(i)	reduced licensing revenues on the “American Kennel Club” and “Monster Jam” Properties, domestically, of approximately $895 and $195, respectively; as well as

(ii)

the realization of an additional $482 in proceeds in 2011 arising from the Company’s agreement to terminate its right to serve as the merchandise licensing agent for the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” Property prior to the scheduled expiration of the representation agreement with the Mirage Group in 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 23%, or $512, to $1,689 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, when compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to:

(i)	decreased personnel related costs of approximately $360; and

(ii)	decreased professional fees of approximately $315; partially offset by

(iii)

increased expenses relating to the Company’s trade shows of approximately $135.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 33%, or $1,681, to $3,364 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, when compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable:

(i)	decreased personnel related costs of approximately $850; and

(ii)	decreased professional fees of approximately $575; partially offset by

(iii)

expenses relating to the Company’s trade shows of approximately $130.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased 100%, or $6, to $0 and 100%, or $63, to $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily as a result of cash balances in 2012 held in non-interest bearing accounts and the liquidation of the Company’s investment portfolio in the first quarter of 2011.

Loss on Sale of Investment Securities

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company sold securities having an aggregate principal amount of $18,450 and an adjusted cost basis of $7,126 for $6,216. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on the sale of investment securities of $910 in such period.

Reorganization Items

The Company incurred reorganization costs of $1,081 and $1,629 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These costs included professional and consulting fees charged for services retained in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases, as well as fees paid to the Office of the United States Trustee.

Income Taxes

The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability taking into consideration such factors as historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In view of the level of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2012 and the Company’s historical losses from operations, the Company has determined that it should record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company did not record tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as it has net operating loss available to offset any taxable income forecast for the year ending December 31, 2012. The Company did not record a benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as it was not be able to carryback any of its 2011 net operating losses and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize its deferred tax assets.

(Loss) income from Continuing Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
		2012			2011		$ Change			% Change
Loss from continuing operations	$	(1,207	)	$	(1,176	)	$	(31	)		(3	)%

		2012		2011		$ Change		% Change
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	5,940	$	(1,683	)	$	7,623		453	%

The increase in loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 remains relatively consistent when compared to the same period in 2011.

The change from a loss to a gain from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the loss in the same period in 2011, was primarily attributable to the receipt of a payment to 4Kids in the amount of $8,000 based upon the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Settlement Agreement becoming a final order which resulted in the Company recognizing a gain on litigation settlement of $8,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

		June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011		$ Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,987	$	1,627	$	3,360

In recent years, the Company has incurred substantial net losses and has used substantial amounts of cash in its operating activities. Sales by the Company of certain securities held in its investment portfolio as well as certain other assets have significantly contributed to the funding of these operating losses. While the timing of these sales was not primarily motivated by then current cash needs, without these sales the Company would not have had sufficient cash to fund its operations.

The Company continues to incur costs in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases. The Company expects these costs to continue throughout the Bankruptcy proceedings. Despite the $8,000 cash received from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Settlement and the $14,997 received on the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement (which occurred after June 30, 2012), the Company’s overall cash position as of June 30, 2012, together with the realized and anticipated effects of the significant cost cutting initiatives implemented by the Company beginning in 2009 and continuing in 2012, provides only limited liquidity to fund the Company’s day-to-day operations. The financial challenges facing the Company as a result of its recent history of losses and the limited liquidity available to it to fund day-to-day operations raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Since the Company has completed the sale of a substantial portion of its assets and has discontinued a significant portion of its business, the Board of Directors may choose to propose a bankruptcy plan, which plan would be subject to the approval of the creditors and other claimants in the Bankruptcy Cases as well as the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that a proposed bankruptcy plan will be approved by the required classes of voters or that the Bankruptcy Court will conclude that such plan satisfies all requirements necessary for confirmation. In the event that a bankruptcy plan is approved, the Company would proceed to make distributions in accordance with the plan and the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. Under a plan, the Company would be obliged to pay all administrative claims, priority and unsecured claims.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Sources (Uses)		2012		2011
Operating Activities	$	3,369	$	(4,240	)
Investing Activities		—		6,241
Financing Activities		—		—

Working capital deficiency, consisting of current liabilities in excess of current assets, was $3,096 as of June 30, 2012 and $4,208 as of December 31, 2011.

Operating Activities

2012

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $3,369 primarily reflects the receipt of a payment to 4Kids in the amount of $8,000 based upon the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Settlement Agreement becoming a final order.

2011

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $4,240 primarily reflects the Company’s operating losses partially offset by cash collections of the Company’s trade receivables and the decrease of payments of liabilities arising prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases.

Investing Activities

2012

There was no net cash provided by, or used in, investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

2011

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $6,241 primarily reflects proceeds from the sale of the Company’s investment securities for $6,216.

Financing Activities

2012

There was no net cash provided by, or used in, financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

2011

There was no net cash provided by, or used in, financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the increase in the Company's cash flow from the receipt of a payment to 4Kids in the amount of $8,000 based upon the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Settlement Agreement becoming a final order was partially offset by the diminished popularity of its Properties, increased costs incurred in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases, as well as continued weakness in the current economic climate. 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 year to year and present operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Contractual Commitments

Under Section 365 and other relevant sections of the Bankruptcy Code, we may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including, without limitation, leases of real property and equipment, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease in this report, including where applicable our express termination rights or a quantification of our obligations, must be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, any overriding rejection rights we have under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

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, 2011.

Forward Looking Information and Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance. We may also make written and oral forward-looking statements in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and otherwise. We have tried, where possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” “project,” “plan” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Any forward-looking statements are and will be based upon our then-current expectations, estimates and assumptions regarding future events and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC, as well as other factors. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations

From time to time, the Company may be exposed to the risk of future currency exchange rate fluctuations, which is accounted for as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity and changes in the exchange rates between various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may, as a result, have an impact on the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of stockholders’ equity reported by the Company, and such effect may be material in any individual reporting period. The Company is currently not a party to any market risk sensitive instruments, or any derivative contracts or other arrangements that may reduce such market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our filings and submissions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We completed an evaluation under the supervision and with participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2012, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide the reasonable assurance described above.

(b) There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

After the closing on July 2, 2012 of the sale pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the parties resumed settlement discussions.

The commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases automatically “stayed” the Yu-Gi-Oh! Litigation until such time as the Bankruptcy Court may order otherwise.

Licensors to release each other from all claims they may have against each other, other than certain indemnification claims and claims that may arise under the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement also provided that the agreement does not constitute an admission by any party of any violation of any agreement or law. On March 27, 2012, 4Kids received the payment in the amount of $8,000 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

2. The CW Agreement can only be sold to Kidsco (or any other entity as the CW may approve of, in its sole discretion).

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (“2011 Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the 2011 Annual Report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not consider material also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2011 Annual Report other than the addition of the following risk factors:

There are no assurances that our stockholders will receive any distribution in the Bankruptcy Cases.

Since the Company has completed the sale of a substantial portion of its assets and has discontinued a significant portion of its business, the Board of Directors may choose to propose a bankruptcy plan, which plan would be subject to the approval of the creditors and other claimants in the Bankruptcy Cases as well as the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that a proposed bankruptcy plan will be approved by the required classes of voters or that the Bankruptcy Court will conclude that such plan satisfies all requirements necessary for confirmation. In the event that a bankruptcy plan is approved, the Company would proceed to make distributions in accordance with the plan and the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. Under a plan, the Company would be obliged to pay all administrative claims, priority and unsecured claims. In view of the significant amount of such claims, there can be no assurance that our stockholders will receive any distribution in respect of any such plan.
