Page 4 of 11 FORM 10-Q THE OHIO ART COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. This report includes information in a condensed format and should be read in conjunction with The Ohio Art Company's (the Company) audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2001. 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 the full calendar year or any other interim period. 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 perpetual inventory 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 first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. Note 3 - Average Shares Outstanding Unallocated ESOP shares are deducted from outstanding shares of Common Stock to arrive at average shares outstanding. There are no dilutive securities included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share, accordingly basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same. Note 4 - Industry Segments The Company has four reportable segments: domestic toy, international toy, Ohio Art diversified products, and Strydel diversified products. The domestic toy segment manufactures and distributes toys through major retailers in the United States while the international toy segment manufactures and utilizes foreign toy companies and sales agents to distribute their products throughout the world. Ohio Art diversified products manufactures and sells custom lithographed products to consumer goods companies. The Strydel diversified products segment manufactures and sells plastic injection molded parts to other manufacturers, including Ohio Art. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those Page 5 of 11 FORM 10-Q THE OHIO ART COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) Note 4 - Industry Segments (continued) described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost, therefore, there is no intercompany profit or loss on intersegment sales or transfers. The Company's reportable segments offer either different products in the case of the diversified products segments, or utilize different distribution channels in the case of the two toy segments.

Borrowings are subject to availability, based on various percentages of eligible inventory and accounts receivable. In addition, the Company obtained term loans aggregating $3,279, with interest payable monthly at prime plus 1.25% (8.00% effective rate at July 31, 2001) and an unused line fee of 0.5% on the revolving credit agreement. The term loans require monthly payments of $45 plus interest in seventy-two consecutive payments commencing May 1, 2000. The loan and security agreement is collateralized by all real and personal property of the Company. In addition, on April 7, 2000, the Company executed a $5,200 term loan to refinance its existing term loan. The new term loan is payable in monthly installments of $91 including interest at prime plus 2% (9.25% effective rate at July 31, 2001), increasing by 0.5% on each anniversary date through April 1, 2007. The loan is collateralized by all real and personal property of the Company. The loan and security agreement and term loans contain certain financial covenants that require, among other things, minimum amounts of tangible net worth and limit dividend payments and purchases of property, plant and equipment. At July 31, 2001 the lender agreed to amend the agreement so that the Company would be in compliance with its tangible net worth covenant. Management is of the opinion that the Company will be able to meet this covenant requirement through the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. Therefore, the Company's long-term debt obligations have been reclassified to non-current liabilities at July 31, 2001. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (amounts in thousands) Results of operations Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2001 decreased approximately 5% to $20,419 from $21,429 for the comparable period of 2000 and decreased to $10,354 for the three months ended July 31, 2001 from $12,338 for the comparable period of 2000. Please refer to Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a breakdown of sales by segment. For the six months ended July 31, 2001, declines in the domestic toy and the diversified products segments of approximately $500 and $2,000 respectively were offset in part by an increase in international toy shipments of approximately $1,500. Sales of the Betty Spaghetty(R) fashion doll increased by $1,400 during the period while decreases were recorded in all other categories. The sales decrease in the second quarter of approximately $2,000 is comprised of decreases in all segments as follows: domestic toy ($500), international toy ($400), and diversified products ($1,100). Page 8 of 11 FORM 10-Q MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued) (amounts in thousands) The Company's business is seasonal, with approximately 55-65% 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 at the most recent period end, August 31, 2001, is not necessarily indicative of expectations of sales for the full year. Subject to industry practice and comments as detailed in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2001, order backlog as of August 31, 2001 is approximately $13,900 versus $14,400 at the same date in 2000. Other income for the six month period ending July 31, 2001 increased to $418 from $323 for the six month period ended July 31, 2000. For the three month period ending July 31, 2001, other income increased to $321 from $115 for the comparable period of 2000. The increases in both the six month and three month periods are primarily due to royalties paid by international partners and advances from licensees. Gross profit margin (percentage) for the six months ended July 31, 2001 (28.2%) increased from the six months ended July 31, 2000 (20.7%). The increase is due primarily to reduced sales returns and allowances along with lower manufacturing expenses of approximately $1,100 and $1,800 respectively. The Company's cost reduction plan accounts for a significant part of the savings in manufacturing expenses. Gross profit margin (percentage) for the three months ended July 31, 2001 (30.6%) increased from the three months ended July 31, 2000 (24.3%). The increase is largely due to the same factors affecting the six month period. Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2001 decreased to $5,028 from $5,583 for the comparable period of 2000 and decreased to $2,623 for the three months ended July 31, 2001 from $3,022 for the comparable period of 2000. The key areas affected for both periods were advertising expense, salaries and health insurance. Most of the savings occurred as a result of the Company's cost reduction plan. Interest expense decreased to $424 for the six months ended July 31, 2001 from $879 for the comparable period of 2000 and decreased to $178 for the three months ended July 31, 2001 from $395 for the comparable period of 2000. The lower interest expense is due to a reduction in long-term debt of approximately $4,900 and to the lowering of the bank prime lending rate. No income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the six month or three month periods ended July 31, 2001 based upon estimates of the full fiscal year effective tax rate after net operating loss carryforwards. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operations for the six month period ended July 31, 2001 was approximately $1,900 versus cash used in operations of approximately $1,500 for the comparable period of 2000. Working capital increased by $46 during the six month period of 2001 compared to a decrease of $1,096 in the prior year. Page 9 of 11 FORM 10-Q MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued) (amounts in thousands) Cash used in investing activities for the six month period ended July 31, 2001 was approximately $300 compared to a cash usage of $200 in the comparable 2000 period. The increase in capital expenditures in the six month period of 2001 is a result of improvements in the Company's liquidity situation. Cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended July 31, 2001 was approximately $900 compared to cash provided in the comparable 2000 period of approximately $200. The cash used in the 2001 period is primarily attributable to reduced borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facility. Effective April 7, 2000, the Company entered into a three year revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $12,000 based on various percentages of eligible inventory and accounts receivable and six year term loans aggregating $3,279. Amounts currently available under the revolving credit agreements as of July 31, 2001 were $4,800. In addition, at that time the Company executed a $5,200 term loan to refinance its existing term loan. The revolving credit facility and term loans are collateralized by the assets of the Company. The Company was in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth covenant included in its Loan and Security Agreement at July 31, 2001. However, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant at January 31, 2001. As a result, the long-term debt obligations were classified as a current liability in the January 31, 2001 balance sheet. Certain of the matters discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis contain certain forward-looking statements concerning the Company's operations, economic performance, and financial condition. These statements are based on the Company's expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
