Page 5 of 9 							 FORM 10-Q 		THE OHIO ART COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES 	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 			 (UNAUDITED) 			 March 31, 1995 Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. All adjustments necessary (consisting of normal adjustments), in the opinion of management, for a fair statement of results for the periods indicated have been made. Due to the seasonal nature of the toy business in which the Company is engaged and the factors set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis, the results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full calendar year. Note 2 - Inventories The Company takes a physical inventory annually at each location. The amounts shown in the quarterly financial statements have been determined using the Company's standard cost accounting system. An estimate, based on past experience, of the adjustment which may result from the next physical inventory has been included in the financial statements. Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method. Since inventories under the LIFO method can only be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on quantities and costs at that time, interim inventory valuation must be based on estimates of quantities and costs at year-end. Note 3 - Average Shares Outstanding Unallocated ESOP shares are deducted from outstanding shares of Common Stock to arrive at average shares outstanding. 							 Page 6 of 9 							 FORM 10-Q 		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OPERATIONS - - ---------- Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased to $7,011,000 from $6,028,000 for the comparable 1994 period as a result of sales increases in both domestic and international toy markets along with increases in the Company's Custom Manufactured Products segment. Toy sales in the United States market increased approximately $600,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 from the similar 1994 period due to increased sales of the Company's Making Creativity Fun!(R)line of products. International toy shipments increased approximately $200,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 as a result of the restructuring of our distribution network with western European toy companies, which was effective January 1, 1995. Toy sales trends did not have a material impact on the Company's sales increase for the first three months of 1995 as compared to the similar 1994 period. Net sales increased slightly for the Company's Custom Manufactured Products segment primarily as a result of increased shipments of film canisters. The Company's business is seasonal, with approximately 60-70% of its sales being made in the last six months of the calendar year in recent years. Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, the dollar order backlog in mid-May is not necessarily indicative of expectations of sales for the full year. Subject to industry practice and comments as detailed in the Registrant's annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, order receipts through May 10 are approximately $14,770,000 versus $12,385,000 for the same period of 1994, or approximately 19% ahead of the prior year. Gross profit margin (percentage) for the first quarter of 1995 (19.4%) increased slightly from the first quarter of 1994 (18.2%) primarily due to the increased sales of the Making Creativity Fun!(R)line of products, which are generally at a higher gross margin than other products. Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the first quarter of 1995 increased to $2,787,000 from $2,610,000 for the comparable period in 1994. This is due to increases of approximately $120,000 in salaries and other employee related costs as a result of a higher headcount in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the similar 1994 period. Royalty expense also increased approximately $50,000 as a result of increased sales of products subject to inventor royalties. 							 Page 7 of 9 							 FORM 10-Q 		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION - - ------------------- The company's current ratio increased from 2.2 to 1 at December 31, 1994 to 2.4 to 1 at March 31, 1995. This change is due principally to the Company's payment of incentive compensation awards and income taxes payable during the first quarter of 1995, which were accrued as of December 31, 1994. Incentive compensation awards paid during the first quarter of 1995 were directly related to the Company's profitability in 1994, as detailed in the Registrant's annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. Exhibits and reports on Form 8-K - The company did not 		file any reports on Form 8-K during the three months ended 		March 31, 1995. The information called for in Items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are not applicable.
