GRAND TOYS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Grand Toys International, Inc., a Nasdaq SmallCap listed Company, is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada. Its principal business activity, through its wholly-owned Canadian and US operating subsidiaries, is the distribution of toys and related items.

  1. Significant accounting policies:

  1. Basis of presentation:
  2. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business and do not reflect adjustments that might result if the Company cannot continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a significant operating loss in fiscal 2000 primarily as a result of the loss of one of its major product lines and the reduced market demand for certain other products. The Company again incurred an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2001 and for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

    In 2001, the Company secured a line of credit to finance its inventory and accounts receivable and also realized net proceeds from the sale of capital stock and warrants. This financing however is not sufficient and the Company will require additional financing before the end of the 2002 fiscal year.

    The above matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its obtaining additional financing and its return to profitable operations.

  3. Principles of consolidation:
  4. These consolidated financial statements, presented in US dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

  5. Revenue recognition:
  6. Sales are recognized at the time of shipment of products. The Company estimates liabilities and records provisions for customer allowances as a reduction of revenue, when such revenue is recognized.

  7. Inventory:
  8. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first in, first out method, and net realizable value. The only significant class of inventory is finished goods.

  9. Prepaid expenses:
  10. Prepaid expenses primarily include insurance, advances on inventory purchases and current portion of royalties and product development costs.

  11. Other assets:
  12. Prepaid royalties are capitalized and written off over the term of the related agreements.

    Product development costs for proprietary product lines are capitalized and written off over a period of twenty four months.

  13. Equipment and leasehold improvements:
  14. Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation methods and annual rates adopted by the Company are as follows:

    Asset

    Method

    Rate

         

    Computer equipment

    Declining balance

    30%

    Machinery and equipment

    Leasehold improvements

    Straight-line

    Term of

       

    lease plus one

       

    renewal term

     

  15. Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
  16. Management reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

  17. Foreign currency translation:
    1. Grand Toys Ltd. and Grand Concepts Inc., which ceased operations on January 29, 2002, wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries, use the Canadian dollar as their functional currency and translate their assets and liabilities into US dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and sales, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting currency translation adjustments are accumulated and reported in other comprehensive income.
    2. Other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. All exchange gains and losses are included in income.

  18. Earnings per share:
    1. On September 4, 2001, the Company completed a one-for-four reverse stock split. For purposes of earnings per share calculations and all share amounts, the comparative numbers of shares have been restated to reflect the reverse split.
    2. Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period into net earnings (loss).
    3. Diluted earnings per share give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that existed at June 30, 2002.

  19. Advertising and promotion:
  20. All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed in the period incurred. Total expense for the period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 amounted to approximately $273,386 and $ 203,008.

  21. Employee stock option plan:
  22. The Company accounts for its employee stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and requires pro-forma net earnings and pro-forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in FASB Statement No. 123 had been applied.

  23. Comprehensive income:
  24. Comprehensive income consists of net income and cumulative currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income. The statement requires only additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; it does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

  25. Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  1. Loan receivable:

The loan receivable is due from Limited Treasures Inc. ("Limited Treasures"), a company, which was an acquisition target in 1999. The loan is secured by accounts receivable and inventory and personal guarantees of the shareholders of Limited Treasures. In 2000, the Company recorded a 50% provision or $434,371 against the loan because of difficulty in recovering the amount due.

In June 2001, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Limited Treasurers pursuant to which the Company would receive $775,000 over 42 months commencing June 30, 2001, together with interest at a rate of 9% per annum. As a result of the settlement agreement the provision against the loan was reduced to $146,269Details are as follows:

  1. Bank indebtedness:
  2. In 2001, the Company secured a line of credit to finance its inventory and accounts receivable providing for advances of up to $1,500,000 (Cdn$2,425,000). An additional amount of $47,000 (Cdn$75,000) was advanced to the Company based on the value of certain of its equipment. In May 2002, the Company increased its total credit facility to $2,308,000 (Cdn$3,500,000), representing an increase in borrowing capacity of $660,000 (Cdn$1,000,000). The receivable loan has a discount fee of 2% and both the inventory loan and the equipment loan bear interest at Canadian prime plus 7.5%. The latter is being repaid through monthly capital repayments of $1,100 (Cdn$1,875). The agreement is for a period of one year expiring on August 16, 2002 and is renewed automatically, unless prior notice is given by either party.

    The loan is secured by a first lien in the principal amount of $2,500,000 (Cdn$4,000,000) on all present and future assets of the Company and the assignment of insurance.

    The Company has approximately $961,000 of credit available as at June 30, 2002.

  3. Shortfall on share conversions:

In connection with the acquisition of the assets of Ark Foundation LLC, in January 1999, the Company created and issued a class of 200,000 shares of non-voting Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series A shares") with a stated value of $5.00 per share. The Series A shares rank senior to the common stock. The Series A shares have a cumulative preferred quarterly dividend of 5% per annum of the par value, payable in cash, if, as and when declared. The Series A shares were redeemable and convertible at determinable prices on determinable dates. The Series A shares were convertible into shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis. If upon conversion, the market value of the common stock of the Company was less than $5.00 per share, the Company was obligated to make up the difference between the market price on the conversion date and $5.00 in cash.

All of the shares were converted into common stock between January 2000 and August 2001. Because the market price of the common stock was below $5.00 per share on certain of the conversion dates, the Company recorded shortfalls of $118,000 in 2000 and $463,310 in 2001.

On February 26, 2002, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the seller of the assets of Ark Foundation LLC and certain other parties, which settled all outstanding matters resulting from the purchase of the assets. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company issued 242,213 shares of its common stock in settlement of the outstanding shortfalls noted above. The Company agreed to remove the legend on the shares which had previously been pledged to secure Ark Creations' $1,500,000 note payable and granted the seller an option to purchase the remaining assets of Ark Creations

  9. Contingencies:

  1. Lawsuits for alleged breach of contract have been filed against the Canadian subsidiary by two former sales representatives. In the opinion of management, these actions have no merit. At this point in time it is difficult to ascertain or estimate the value of a settlement, if any.

  1. The Company was named in a lawsuit for breach of contract in a licensing dispute, for recovery totaling in excess of $600,000. A defense was filed against the plaintiff, and management had reserved, at December 31, 2000, $550,000 in the event the results were unfavorable. In March 2001, the Company received a favorable court judgment, and reversed the accrual, in full, by the third quarter of 2001.
  2. The Company's Canadian subsidiary is also contingently liable for an outstanding letter of credit of $500,000 as at June 30, 2002 ($250,000 as at December 31, 2001). The short-term deposit has been pledged as collateral for this letter of credit.

 

 

  1. Segment information:

    1. Operating and geographic information:

The Company operates primarily in one segment which includes the distribution of toys and related items. Approximately 96% of total sales are to Canadian customers. The majority of long-lived assets are located in Canada.

      1. Other information:

Sales of toys purchased from the Company's two largest manufacturers and suppliers of toys in aggregate accounted for 76% of gross sales for the period ended June 30, 2002. The Company's two largest suppliers accounted for 55% of gross sales for the period ended June 30, 2001.

  1. Financial instruments:

  1. Foreign currency risk management:

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to minimize its foreign currency exposure on purchases. The contracts oblige the Company to buy US dollars in the future at predetermined exchange rates. The contracts are not used for trading purposes. The Company's policy is to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts on a portion of its purchases anticipated in the next selling season. Gains and losses on forward exchange contracts are recorded in income and generally offset transaction gains or losses on the foreign currency cash flows which they are intended to hedge.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had no contracts to purchase US dollars.

  1. Fair values:

Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time, using available information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision.

The fair value of the Company's accounts receivable, due from affiliated companies, bank indebtedness, trade and other payables approximate their carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

    1. Credit risk and economic dependence:

For the period ended June 30, 2002, approximately 57% (June 30, 2001 - 53%) of the Company's sales were made to two unrelated companies, as detailed below.
