Page 4 of 13 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, 2002. 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 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.

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%; adjusted to prime plus 0.75% as of May 7, 2002 (5.5% effective rate at July 31, 2002) 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 August 2, 2002, the Company executed a $2,500 term loan to refinance its existing term loan on real estate. The new term loan is payable in monthly installments of $47 including interest at the prime rate (4.75% effective rate at August 1, 2002). The loan is collateralized by all real and personal property of the Company. The various financing agreements contain certain financial covenants common to similar agreements that require, among other things, maintenance of minimum amounts of tangible net worth and limit dividend payments and purchases of property, plant and equipment. As of July 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. Note 6 - Intangible Assets Original Accumulated Net Book Cost Amortization Value ------ ------------ -------- Trademarks $908 $657 $251 ==== ==== ==== Amortization expenses for the six months and three months ended July 31, 2002 were $48 and $24 respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years is: Amount ------ 2003 $ 89 2004 $ 71 2005 $ 51 2006 $ 31 2007 $ 9 Page 8 of 13 FORM 10-Q MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (amounts in thousands) Results of operations Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2002 decreased approximately 19% to $16,521 from $20,419 for the comparable period of 2001. For the three-month period ended July 31, 2002, net sales increased approximately 1% to $10,406 from $10,354 for the quarter ended July 31, 2001. 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, 2002, the domestic and international toy segments accounted for approximately $1,100 and $900 of the sales decrease respectively. The Ohio Art diversified products segment accounted for approximately $2,700 of the decline due to the loss of a major customer and was partially offset by an increase of approximately $800 in the Strydel diversified products segment. All toy categories recorded lower sales volume during the six-month period. The sales increase in the second quarter is comprised of gains in the toy and Strydel diversified products segments of approximately $700 and $400 respectively, while the Ohio Arts diversified products segment fell $1,000. Shipments of the Company's Betty Spaghetty(R) fashion doll were up more than 25% over the comparable period of 2001. Etch A Sketch(R) drawing toy volume grew by more than 15% in the same period. 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, 2002, 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, 2002, order backlog as of August 31, 2002 is approximately $13,400 versus $13,900 at the same date in 2001. Other income for the six-month period ending July 31, 2002 increased to $603 from $418 for the comparable period of 2001. For the three-month period ending July 31, 2002, other income increased slightly to $326 from $321 for the comparable period of 2001. 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-month period ending July 31, 2002 (27.7%) fell slightly from the six months ended July 31, 2001 (28.2%). The decline was due primarily to unfavorable overhead variance, which can be traced to lower production volume in the Ohio Art diversified products segment. Actual overhead expenses have fallen as the Company's cost reduction plan continued to produce significant savings over the prior year. Gross profit margin (percentage) for the three-month period ending July 31, 2002 (33.4%) increased from the three months ended July 31, 2001 (30.5%). The improvement is largely due to the stronger sales in the period of the Betty Spaghetty(R) fashion doll and Etch A Sketch(R) products. Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2002 increased to $5,208 from $5,028 for the comparable period of 2001 Page 9 of 13 FORM 10-Q MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued) (amounts in thousands) and increased to $2,932 for the three months ended July 31, 2002 from $2,623 for the comparable period of 2001. The key line items negatively affecting both periods include advertising expense, commissions, and health insurance, while salary expense recorded a sizeable savings. Interest expense decreased to $176 for the six months ended July 31, 2002 from $424 for the comparable period of 2001 and decreased to $95 for the three months ended July 31, 2002 from $178 for the comparable period of 2001. The lower interest expense is primarily due to a reduction in long-term debt of approximately $3,500. An income tax benefit of $52 and an income tax expense of $279 were recorded for the six-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2002 respectively. No income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the comparable periods of 2001. Income taxes are based upon estimates of the full fiscal year effective tax rate. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operations for the six-month period ended July 31, 2002 was approximately $17 versus cash provided by operations of approximately $1,889 for the comparable period of 2001. Working capital decreased by $192 during the six-month period of 2002 compared to an increase of $9,960 in the prior year. The Company was in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth covenant included in its Loan and Security Agreement at July 31, 2001 but was not in compliance 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 and as a non-current liability in the July 31, 2001 balance sheet. The change in classification accounts for approximately $8,700 of the prior year increase in working capital. Cash used in investing activities for the six month period ended July 31, 2002 was approximately $284 compared to a cash usage of $337 in the comparable period of 2001. The decrease in capital expenditures in the six-month period of 2002 is due to planned delays in spending. Cash used in Financing activities for the six month period ended July 31, 2002 was approximately $680 compared to cash provided in the comparable period of 2001 of approximately $854. The cash used in the 2002 period is primarily attributable to reduced borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facility and is partially offset by dividend payments of approximately $158 in the 2002 period. 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, 2002 were approximately $6,600. Effective August 2, 2002, the Company executed a five-year $2,500 term loan to replace an existing seven-year term loan. The revolving credit facility and term loans are collateralized by the assets of the Company. Page 10 of 13 FORM 10-Q MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued) (amounts in thousands) The Company was in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth covenant included in its Loan and Security Agreement at July 31, 2002 and July 31, 2001. 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.
