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.

Note 5 - Debt (amounts in thousands)
The Company executed a loan and security agreement on April 7, 2000 that
provides for borrowings up to $12,000 for three years under the terms of a
revolving credit agreement. 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.

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.
