RADICA GAMES LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006)
(US dollars in thousands, except per share data)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Radica Games Limited
(the "Company" or "Radica") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial
information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain
all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
March 31, 2006, and its results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented herein. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Because the Company's business is seasonal, revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the
operating results and trends in these unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of future
results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities as of and during the reporting periods. Significant
items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount
of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowances for receivables and
deferred income tax assets and provisions for product returns and
warranties, as well as the provision for legal contingencies. Actual
results could differ from the estimated results. Changes from those
estimates are recorded in the period they become known.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic-value-based
method of accounting prescribed by the Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 to account for its
fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense was
recorded on the date of grant only if the then market price of the
underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a
fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation
plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company continued to apply the
intrinsic-value based method of accounting as described above, and adopted
only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.
Effective January 01, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R,
Share-Based Payments. The Company has elected the modified prospective
transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R, and accordingly, prior
periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R.
Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2006 includes: (i) compensation cost for
all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of, January 1,
2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original SFAS No. 123 and previously presented in the pro forma footnote
disclosures), and (ii) compensation cost for all stock-based payments
granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the new provisions of SFAS No. 123R).
The estimated value of the Company's stock-based awards (including stock
options and restricted stocks), less expected forfeitures, is amortized
over the awards' respective vesting period on a straight-line basis.

(US dollars in thousands, except per share data)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
EFFECT OF ADOPTING SFAS NO. 123R
Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognized $79, net of taxes, of
compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2006. Such stock-based compensation
expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The
implementation of SFAS No. 123R did not have any impact on the Company's
basic and diluted earnings per share or cash flows from financing
activities for the first quarter of 2006.
PRIOR PERIOD PRO FORMA PRESENTATIONS
The Company has applied the modified prospective transition approach for
adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Under the modified prospective approach, results
for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the effects of
implementing SFAS No. 123R. The following pro forma information, is
presented for comparative purposes and illustrates the pro forma effect on
net earnings and earnings per share for each period presented as if the
Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method:
Three months ended

Pro forma earnings per share

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period cash flows used in
operating activities to conform to the current period presentation. The
effect of currency exchange rate change on non-cash and cash equivalents
items for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was reclassified to
relevant line items in the cash flow statements. The reclassification
resulted in an increase of $144 in the amount of net cash used in operating
activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 to $758. A
similar reclassification was also made to cash flow from investing
activities which resulted in an increase of $4 in the amount of net cash
used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31,
2005.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock, and with respect to diluted earnings per share,
also includes the effect of all dilutive potential common stock
outstanding. Dilutive potential common stock results from dilutive stock
options and warrants. The effect of such dilutive potential common stock on
earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method. Dilutive
potential common stock has no effect on net loss per share as the effect
would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computations of earnings (loss) per
share:

In November 2002, the AICPA International Practices Task Force (the "Task
Force") discussed an issue relating to accounting for land use rights in
China. The Task Force view is that China land use rights are considered
operating leases, as they are long-term leases of lands, which do not
transfer title. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, other assets of
$828 and $833 respectively, comprise prepaid land use rights. The prepaid
land use rights have a term of 50 years.

overdraft and trade facilities totaling $5,050 available for immediate
borrowing. The facilities are collateralized by leasehold land and
buildings with an aggregate net book value of $1,769.
7. LITIGATION
On April 4, 2000 a lawsuit was filed by the Lemelson Foundation
("Lemelson") against the Company in Arizona Court for patent infringement.
Lemelson claims to be owner of nearly 800 issued and pending patents,
including the patent on Machine Vision and Automatic Identification
(AutoID) operations. The Auto ID operation is used in machines that are
part of the Company's bonding and heat-sealing manufacturing processes.
Lemelson was contesting that the use of machines that incorporate this
patented technology infringes on their intellectual property ("IP") rights
and therefore the Company is obligated to pay a royalty based on the use of
this technology. The suit by Lemelson was stayed pending the outcome of
Lemelson vs. Cognex, a similar suit filed by Lemelson, which had bearing on
the Radica case with Lemelson. On January 23, 2004 a declaratory judgment
was given in the Cognex case that Lemelson's patent claims are invalid. On
September 9, 2005, Lemelson's appeal to the Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit was denied and the judgment of the District Court was
affirmed. Subsequently, Lemelson filed a Petition for Panel Rehearing and
Rehearing En Banc to review the Court of Appeals' September 9, 2005 Order
that affirmed the judgment of the District Court. On November 16, 2005 the
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed its September 9, 2005
ruling and denied the Petition for Rehearing En Banc. The prior pending
claim or litigation, specifically, Lemelson Medical Education Foundation v.
ESCO Electronics, et al.; CIV-00-0660 PHX HRH in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Arizona was dismissed with prejudice and final judgment
was entered in favor of Radica on February 3, 2006.
In 2005, the Company and its subsidiary Radica (Macao Commercial Offshore)
Limited (the "Radica parties") were involved in litigation initiated by
AtGames Holdings Limited which challenged the exclusivity of Radica's
rights to the Play TV Sega Genesis games. In late December 2005, the
arbitrator issued an interim decision in favor of Sega Corporation in its
arbitration against AtGames. Subsequently, in January 2006, AtGames
voluntarily dismissed (without prejudice) its complaint against Radica and
Radica Macao. At present, there is no pending litigation or arbitration
against the Radica parties arising out of this matter.

Net (loss) income (5.5%) 2.2%
We reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2006 of $1.0 million or $0.05
per diluted share compared to a net profit of $0.5 million or $0.03 per diluted
share in the first quarter of 2005.
Sales for the first quarter of 2006 decreased by 18% to $18.5 million from $22.5
million for the same period in 2005. Sales decreases in the quarter were
primarily due to expected reductions in declining areas of low margin business
including declines of $2.4 million in plug and play TV games, $0.7million in
video game accessories and $0.8million of manufacturing services revenues during
the quarter. Excluding these areas of business, sales were about comparable with
last year in spite of a change in shipping patterns from our largest customer,
the later timing of Easter in 2006 and the
13
comparative pipeline fill of 20Q in early 2005. The following table shows
revenue comparison by product lines for the quarter:
Three months ended March 31,

Electronic Games and Toys $ 14,704 $ 16,948
Youth Electronics 2,158 2,446

TOTAL $ 18,467 $ 22,474
================= =================
Gross profit margin for Q1 2006 was 37.6% compared to 38.8% in Q1 2005 due to
closeout sales of $1.1 million compared to $0.9 million in Q1 of 2005, together
with a higher proportion of sales to distributors in Europe and Asia at lower
margin than sales to retailers.
Operating expenses for the quarter increased to $8.6 million from $8.3 million
for the same period last year. The increase was due to an increase of
advertising from $0.8 million to $1.0 million, professional fees of $0.1 million
related to Sarbanes Oxley, increased research and development costs for
programming charges for new product and increased depreciation and amortization
due to increased capital expenditure in 2005. The increase was also due to
recognition of stock based compensation of $79,000 with respect to compensation
cost for share-based payment awards in connection with the adoption of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment,
on January 1, 2006.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Our cash and investment securities totaled $60.0 million at December 31, 2006 as
compared to $53.3 million at December 31, 2005. The $6.7 million increase was
mainly due to a seasonal decrease in accounts receivable ($11.1 million), and
increase in accounts payable ($1.7 million), and proceeds received from stock
options exercised ($0.8 million). This was offset by increases in inventories
($0.9 million) and prepaid expenses ($1.0 million) and decreases in accrued
payroll and employee benefits ($0.8 million), accrued warranty expenses ($1.2
million), other accrued liabilities ($1.7 million), dividends payment ($0.9
million) and purchase of property plant and equipment ($0.5 million).
Our accounts receivable were $7.5 million at March 31, 2006 as compared to $18.7
million at December 31, 2005 and $13.5 million at March 31, 2005. Inventories
increased to $22.3 million from $21.4 million at December 31, 2005 and showed a
decrease as compared to $29.7 million at March 31, 2005. Our business is
inherently seasonal. Normally our sales and accounts receivable have been lowest
during the first and second quarters and highest during the third and fourth
14
quarters. Receivables have been lowest during the succeeding first and second
quarters. The decrease in accounts receivable related primarily to the decrease
in sales in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005.
The inventory increase from December 31, 2005 was primarily due to normal
seasonality. Such seasonal changes in assets and liabilities are typical for the
toy industry.
Current liabilities were $18.1 million at March 31, 2006, down $0.8 million from
the $18.9 million reported at December 31, 2005 and showed an increase as
compared to $15.8 million at March 31, 2005. This was largely due to a decrease
in purchases of raw materials for production during the quarter, offset by an
increase in dividends payable. There was no debt outstanding at March 31, 2006
and December 31, 2005.
At March 31, 2005, we had net assets of $96.4 million compared with $98.4
million at December 31, 2005. We had no derivative instruments or off-balance
sheet financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. We believe
that our existing cash, investment securities and credit lines are sufficient to
meet future short-term cash demands, including seasonal build up of inventory.
We fund our operations and liquidity needs primarily through cash flow from
operations, as well as utilizing borrowings under secured and unsecured credit
facilities when needed. During 2006, we expect to continue to fund our working
capital needs through operations and the revolving credit facility and we
believe that the funds will be sufficient to meet our needs. However, unforeseen
circumstances such as severe softness in, or a collapse of, the retail
environment may result in a significant decline in revenues and operating
results, thereby causing us to exhaust our cash resources. If this were to
occur, we may be required to seek alternative financing of working capital.
On January 6 and March 30, 2006, we declared first and second quarter dividends
each of 5 cents per share that were paid on January 31 and April 28,
respectively.

public offering. In the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company issued an
aggregate of 289 shares to an outside director in lieu of an aggregate of $2,624
of fees that would otherwise have been paid to such director in cash. No

Supplemental Information:
- ------------------------
As previously disclosed in our Form 6-K filing on August 16, 2005, Jon Bengtson,
the Chairman of the Board of Radica Games, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 preset
diversification program on July 6, 2005.
Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 allows officers and directors
to adopt written plans for trading the Company's securities in a
non-discretionary, pre-scheduled manner in order to avoid concerns about
initiating stock transactions when the insider may be aware of non-public
information.
During the term of the trading plan, acting on behalf of a family trust, Mr.
Bengtson intends to sell up to 100,000 shares, and the trading plan will
terminate when such shares are sold, or in any event by June 30, 2006.
Mr. Albert Crosson resigned from the Radica Board of Directors effective as of
April 10, 2006 and did not stand for reelection at the May 22, 2006 annual
meeting.
