Page 5 of 10 							 FORM 10-Q 		THE OHIO ART COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES 	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 			 (UNAUDITED) 			 June 30, 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 10 							 FORM 10-Q 		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OPERATIONS - ---------- Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased slightly to $13,822,000 from $13,524,000 for the comparable 1994 period and decreased to $6,811,000 for the second quarter of 1995 from $7,496,000 for the comparable 1994 period. Sales during the first half of the year as well as for the three months ended June 30th, increased to our international and lithography customers while sales to domestic customers and sales by Strydel, Inc., our injection molding facility, decreased. The decrease in sales in the second quarter was due primarily to the decrease in domestic toy sales of approximately $800,000, which were hampered by the delay of new toy product start-ups which were delayed from the beginning of the second quarter until late in the second quarter. The increase in sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was due primarily to sales to our international customers, which increased approximately $700,000. This was the result of restructuring our distribution network with western European toy companies, which was effective January 1, 1995. This increase was offset by a decrease in domestic toy sales of approximately $400,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 for the reason cited above. 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 July 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 July 31st are approximately $21,100,000 versus $13,600,000 for the same period of 1994, or approximately 55% ahead of the prior year. The increase in the order backlog is due to the delay in new toy product start-ups for which orders have beeen received but shipments have not yet been made, and orders received for the promotion of the 35th anniversary of Etch A Sketchr which, due to the delay in special packaging, have not yet been shipped. Gross profit margin (percentage) for the six months ended June 30, 1995 (21.2%) decreased from the comparable 1994 period (22.0%). Gross profit margin percentage for the second quarter of 1995 decreased to 23.0% from 25.1% for the similar period of 1994. The decrease in gross profit margin is due to lower domestic toy sales production which resulted in larger overhead per unit of sales variance than the prior year. 							 Page 7 of 10 							 FORM 10-Q 		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased to $5,652,000 from $5,231,000 for the comparable 1994 period and increased to $2,865,000 for the second quarter of 1995 from $2,621,000 for the comparable 1994 period. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, royalty expense increased approximately $130,000 as the result of increased sales of products subject to inventor royalties; travel and entertainment increased approximately $150,000 due to increased traveling for both international and domestic sales activities, and salaries increased approximately $90,000 as the result of a higher headcount. For the second quarter, royalty expense increased approximately $80,000, travel and entertainment increased approximately $50,000, and salaries increased approximately $50,000; all for the same reasons as stated above. FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- The Company's current ratio increased to 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 1995 from 2.2 to 1 at December 31, 1994. The Company used cash on hand as well as cash collected from accounts receivable at December 31, 1994, and borrowings from the Revolving Credit Agreement (classified as a long- term liability) to finance the buildup of inventory, payment of income taxes, and paydown of accounts payable. Inventories at June 30, 1995 increased $3,964,000 from December 31, 1994. This change during the first half of 1995 is consistent with the seasonal nature of the Company's business, as inventories are built during the first six months of the year for shipment during the last six months of the year. On May 26, 1995, the Company renewed its three-year $10,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date until May 1998. The Company also changed its $6,000,000 Demand Credit Agreement to a maturity date of May 25, 1996. All the terms and conditions related to both agreements are the same as the previous agreements except for the maturity date.
