Explanatory Note

4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment is filed for the purposes of correcting the approximate number of holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock on March 30, 2011 reported by the Company in Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities to be 284, rather than 4,830, and adding the following risk factor to the end of Item 1A.  Risk Factors:

Because we have less than 300 record holders of our common stock, we may elect at any time to terminate our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act.  If we choose to do so, our stock price would likely decline.
 
 
Because we have less than 300 record holders of our common stock, we can suspend our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act at any time by filing a Form 15 with the SEC.  If we were to terminate our reporting obligations, we would no longer be required to file periodic reports, including financial information, proxy solicitation materials, or other information with the SEC.  This action would cause our common stock to be de-listed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would likely negative affect the liquidity, trading volume and trading prices of our common stock.  In addition, our ability to raise financing could be negatively impacted due to a lack of publicly available information about the Company.

This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing and no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the Original Filing.  All other Items of the Original Filing have been omitted from this Amendment.  Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.
