See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 6 JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2000 Note 1 - Basis of presentation The accompanying 1999 and 2000 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K, which contains financial information for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999. The information provided in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for this period. The results for this period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Basic earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares. Diluted earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents (which consist of warrants, options and convertible securities, to the extent they are dilutive). All common shares and common share equivalents have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to a three-for-two stock split paid on November 4, 1999. 6 7 JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) September 30, 2000 Note 2 -- Earnings per share In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This statement establishes simplified standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). It requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures and disclosure of the calculation of each EPS amount.

JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto which appear elsewhere herein. OVERVIEW JAKKS was founded to design, develop, produce and market children's toys and related products. We commenced business operations when we assumed operating control over the toy business of Justin Products Limited ("Justin"), and have included the results of Justin's operations in our consolidated financial statements from July 1, 1995, the effective date of that acquisition. The Justin product lines, which consisted primarily of fashion dolls and accessories and electronic products for children, accounted for substantially all of our net sales for the period from April 1, 1995 (inception) to December 31, 1995. One of our key strategies has been to grow through the acquisition or licensing of product lines, concepts and characters. In 1996, we expanded our product lines to include products based on licensed characters and properties, such as World Wrestling Federation action figures and accessories. We acquired Road Champs in February 1997, and have included the results of operations of Road Champs from February 1, 1997, the effective date of the acquisition. We acquired the Child Guidance and Remco trademarks in October 1997, both of which contributed to operations nominally in 1997, but contributed more significantly to operations commencing in 1998. In June 1999, we acquired Berk with its lines of educational toy foam puzzle mats and activity sets. Berk began to contribute modestly beginning in the third quarter of 1999. In October 1999, we acquired Flying Colors, whose product lines include licensed activity kits, play clay compound playsets and lunch boxes as well as other related products. Flying Colors product lines contributed to operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 1999. In July 2000, we acquired Pentech whose product lines include pens, markers, pencils, and other writing instruments, crafts and activity kits, and related stationery products. Pentech product lines contributed to operations beginning in August 2000. 8 9 Our products currently include (1) action figures and accessories featuring licensed characters, principally from the World Wrestling Federation license, (2) Flying Colors molded plastic activity sets, clay compound playsets and lunch boxes, (3) Wheels division products, including Road Champs die-cast collectible and toy vehicles and Remco toy vehicles and role-play toys and accessories, (4) Child Guidance infant and pre-school electronic toys, educational toy foam puzzle mats and blocks, activity sets and outdoor products, (5) Pentech pens, markers, pencils, and other writing instruments, craft and activity kits, and related stationery products, and (6) fashion and mini dolls and related accessories. In general, we acquire products or product concepts from others or we engage unaffiliated third parties to develop our own products, thus minimizing operating costs. Royalties payable to our developers generally range from 1% to 6% of the wholesale price for each unit of a product sold by us. We expect that outside inventors will continue to be a source of new products in the future. We also generate internally new product concepts, for which we pay no royalties. In June 1998, we formed a joint venture with THQ Inc., a developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment software, and the joint venture licensed the rights from World Wrestling Federation Entertainment to publish World Wrestling Federation electronic video game software on all platforms. The first games produced under this license were released in November 1999. We are entitled to receive a guaranteed preferred return based on the sales of the video games, and THQ is entitled to receive the balance of the profits generated by the joint venture. Through the acquisition of Pentech in July 2000, we became a fifty percent member of a Chinese joint venture engaged in the manufacture of pencils, pens, and markers that are sold individually, in sets or are included in Pentech and Flying Colors activity kits. We contract the manufacture of most of our products to unaffiliated manufacturers located in China. We sell the finished products on a letter of credit basis or on open account to our customers, who take title to the goods in Hong Kong. These methods allow us to reduce certain operating costs and working capital requirements. A portion of our sales, primarily sales of our Road Champs and Flying Colors products, originate in the United States, so we hold certain inventory in warehouse and fulfillment facilities operated by unaffiliated third parties. In addition, we hold inventory of other products from time to time in support of promotions or other domestic programs with retailers. To date, substantially all of our sales have been to domestic customers. We intend to expand distribution of our products into foreign territories and, accordingly, we have (1) engaged representatives to oversee sales in certain territories, (2) engaged distributors in certain territories, and (3) established direct relationships with retailers in certain territories. We establish reserves for sales allowances, including promotional allowances and allowances for anticipated defective product returns and potential markdowns, at the time of shipment. The reserves are determined as a percentage of net sales based upon either historical experience or on estimates or programs agreed upon by our customers. Our cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of goods produced for us by unaffiliated third-party manufacturers, royalties earned by licensors on the sale of these goods and amortization of the tools, dies and molds owned by us that are used in the manufacturing process. Other costs include inbound freight and provisions for obsolescence. Significant factors affecting our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales include (1) the proportion of net sales generated by various products with disparate gross margins, (2) the proportion of net sales made domestically, which typically carry higher gross margins than sales made in Hong Kong, and (3) the effect of amortizing the fixed cost components of cost of sales, primarily amortization of tools, dies and molds, over varying levels of net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs directly associated with the selling process, such as sales commissions, advertising and travel expenses, as well as general corporate expenses, goodwill and trademark amortization and product development. We have recorded goodwill of approximately $72.0 million and trademarks of approximately $13.9 million in connection with acquisitions made to date. Goodwill is being amortized over a 30-year period, while trademark acquisition costs are being amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 30 years. 9 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following unaudited table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statement of operations data as a percentage of net sales.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 Net Sales. Net sales increased $31.6 million, or 52.5%, to $91.8 million in 2000 from $60.2 million in 1999. The significant growth in net sales was due primarily to the continuing growth in our Wheels division, consisting primarily of our Road Champs die-cast toy and collectible vehicles with its BXS die-cast bicycles and MXS die-cast motorcycles, fashion and holiday dolls, as well as the addition of Flying Colors products, which began contributing to operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 1999, and Pentech products, which began contributing to operations in August 2000, offset by a decrease in sales of our WWF wrestling products. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $12.9 million, or 52.2%, to $37.7 million in 2000, or 41.0% of net sales, from $24.8 million, or 41.1% of net sales, in 1999. The overall increase in gross profit was attributable to the significant increase in net sales. The decrease in gross profit margin of 0.1% of Net Sales is attributed to the increase in amortization expense of molds and tools used in the manufacture of our products and royalty expense as a percentage of net sales due to changes in the product mix and the launch of a larger number of products in 2000, which is partially offset by lower product costs associated with the BXS, MXS and wrestling products. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $26.5 million in 2000 and $14.9 million in 1999, constituting 28.8% and 24.7% of net sales, respectively. The overall significant increase of $11.6 million in such costs was due to costs incurred in support of the Company's development, marketing and distribution of products under its recently acquired Flying Colors and Pentech brands. The overall dollar increase was due to the significant increase in net sales with its proportionate impact on variable selling costs such as freight and shipping related expenses, sales commissions, cooperative advertising and travel expenses, among others. We produced television commercials in support of several of our products, including World Wrestling Federation action figures, in 1999 and 2000. From time to time, we may increase our advertising efforts, including the use of more expensive advertising media, such as television, if we deem it appropriate for particular products. Income from Joint Venture. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1999, we began to earn our preferred return on the sale of World Wrestling Federation video games by our joint venture with THQ. Interest Net. We had higher average cash balances during 2000 than in 1999 due to the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in December 1999. In addition, we assumed certain interest-bearing obligations in 2000 in conjunction with the Pentech acquisition and we had convertible debentures outstanding in 1999. Other Income. Other income was nominal in 2000. No such income was incurred in 1999. 10 11 Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes included Federal, state and foreign income taxes in 1999 and 2000, at effective tax rates of 26.7% in 1999 and 28.2% in 2000, benefiting from a flat 16.5% Hong Kong Corporation Tax on our income arising in, or derived from, Hong Kong. As of September 30, 2000, we had deferred tax assets of approximately $1.8 million for which no allowance has been provided since, in the opinion of management, realization of the future benefit is probable. In making this determination, management considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, as well as the weight and importance given to such evidence. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 Net Sales. Net sales increased $72.0 million, or 59.4%, to $193.2 million in 2000 from $121.2 million in 1999. The significant growth in net sales was due primarily to the continuing growth in our Wheels division, consisting primarily of our Road Champs die-cast toy and collectible vehicles with the launch of the BXS die-cast bicycles, fashion and holiday dolls, as well as the addition of Flying Colors products, which began contributing to operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 1999, and Pentech products, which began contributing to operations in August 2000, offset by a decrease in sales of our WWF wrestling products. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $29.4 million, or 58.5%, to $79.5 million in 2000, or 41.2% of net sales, from $50.2 million, or 41.4% of net sales, in 1999. The overall increase in gross profit was attributable to the significant increase in net sales. Gross profit margin did not significantly change. However, the slight increase is mainly attributed to an increase in the amortization expense of molds and tools used in the manufacture of our products and royalty expense as a percentage of net sales due to changes in the product mix and the launch of a larger number of products in 2000. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $57.6 million in 2000 and $33.3 million in 1999, constituting 29.8% and 27.5% of net sales, respectively. The overall significant increase of $24.3 million in such costs was due to costs incurred in support of the Company's development, marketing and distribution of products under its recently acquired Flying Colors and Pentech brands. The overall dollar increase was due to the significant increase in net sales with its proportionate impact on variable selling costs such as freight and shipping related expenses, sales commissions, cooperative advertising and travel expenses, among others. We produced television commercials in support of several of our products, including World Wrestling Federation action figures, in 1999 and 2000. From time to time, we may increase our advertising efforts, including the use of more expensive advertising media, such as television, if we deem it appropriate for particular products. Income from Joint Venture. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1999, we began to earn our preferred return on the sale of World Wrestling Federation video games by our joint venture with THQ. Interest Net. We had significantly higher average cash balances during 2000 than in 1999 due to the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in December 1999. In addition, we assumed certain interest-bearing obligations in 2000 in conjunction with the Pentech acquisition and we had convertible debentures outstanding in 1999. Other Expense Net. Other expense in 2000 consists mainly of expenses related to the lease termination of certain Flying Colors facilities and other related shut-down costs. No such expenses were incurred in 1999. Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes included Federal, state and foreign income taxes in 1999 and 2000, at effective tax rates of 26.8% in 1999 and 29.8% in 2000, benefiting from a flat 16.5% Hong Kong Corporation Tax on our income arising in, or derived from, Hong Kong. As of September 30, 2000, we had deferred tax assets of approximately $1.8 million for which no allowance has been provided since, in the opinion of management, realization of the future benefit is probable. In making this determination, management considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, as well as the weight and importance given to such evidence. 11 12 SEASONALITY The retail toy industry is inherently seasonal. Generally, in the past, the Company's sales have been highest during the third and fourth quarters, and collections for those sales have been highest during the succeeding fourth and first fiscal quarters. The Company's working capital needs have been highest during the third and fourth quarters. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2000, we had working capital of $103.4 million, as compared to $113.2 million as of December 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to our operating activities. Operating activities provided net cash of $29.4 million in 2000, as compared to $16.6 million in 1999. Net cash was provided primarily by net income, non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, and the sale of marketable securities, as well as a decrease in preferred return from THQ joint venture, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and income taxes payable, which were offset in part by increases in accounts receivable, inventory, advanced royalty payments and prepaid expenses and other and a decrease in deferred income taxes. Excluding the sale of marketable securities and inventory and accounts receivable acquired in the Pentech acquisition, cash flow from operations was $14.9 million in 2000. As of September 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of $48.3 million and marketable securities of $7.0 million. Our investing activities used net cash of $38.7 million in 2000, as compared to $10.1 million in 1999, consisting primarily of the purchase of molds and tooling used in the manufacture of our products and goodwill in 2000 and 1999 and the repurchase of common shares in 2000. As part of our strategy to develop and market new products, we have entered into various character and product licenses with royalties ranging from 1% to 18% payable on net sales of such products. As of September 30, 2000, these agreements required future aggregate minimum guarantees of $14.4 million, exclusive of $1.9 million in advances already paid. Our financing activities used net cash of $581 in 2000, consisting primarily of notes receivable from officers, offset by proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants and acquired debt. In 1999, financing activities provided net cash of $54.5 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from sales of common stock and the exercise of options and warrants. In 1999, the holders of $6.0 million principal amount of our 9.0% convertible debentures converted all such debentures into 1,565,218 shares of our common stock. In 1999, we received $117.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock in public offerings. In June 1999, we purchased all the outstanding capital stock of Berk for approximately $3.3 million. We also agreed to pay an earn-out of up to $500,000 if sales of Berk products achieve certain prescribed levels over the 12-month period ending June 30, 2000. Berk is a leading producer of educational toy foam puzzle mats and blocks featuring popular licensed characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Blue's Clues, Barney, Teletubbies, Sesame Street, Looney Tunes and Toy Story II characters, and non-licensed activity sets and outdoor products. On October 5, 1999, we completed the acquisition of the Flying Colors product line through the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of Flying Colors, a privately-held company based in Dexter, Michigan. At or shortly after the closing we paid approximately $34.7 million for the stock and paid off approximately $17.6 million of indebtedness. We also agreed to pay an earn-out of up to $13.5 million over the 36-month period following the closing if net sales of Flying Colors products achieve certain targeted levels during this period. Two of Flying Colors' senior executives and most of its creative design and product development staff have remained with Flying Colors Toys. Flying Colors' principal products include molded plastic activity kits, clay compound playsets and lunch boxes featuring licensed characters, including Barbie, Rugrats, Blue's Clues and Looney Tunes characters. The kits cover a broad range of products and activities, such as make and paint your own characters, jewelry making, art studios, posters, puzzles and other projects. On July 28, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Pentech for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $20.6 million, which was paid in cash on the closing of the transaction. In addition, the Company paid on the closing $10.0 million to pay down certain indebtedness of Pentech, assumed liabilities of approximately $25.5 million and incurred estimated legal and other acquisition costs of approximately $1.2 million. In December 1999, Pentech renewed a three-year $25,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement with Bank America Business Credit, Inc. now known as Bank of America, N.A. ("BABC") (the "Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to limitations based upon eligible inventory and accounts receivable as defined in the Credit Agreement. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at Pentech's option, at either prime plus 0.5% or libor plus 2.5%. Pentech designs, produces and markets licensed pens, markers, pencils, and other writing instruments, craft and activity kits, and related stationery products. We believe that our cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and marketable securities as well as the available borrowings under the bank line will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and provide us with adequate liquidity to meet our anticipated operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Although operating activities are expected to provide cash, to the extent we grow significantly in the future, our operating and investing activities may use cash and, consequently, this growth may require us to obtain additional sources of financing. There can be no assurance that any necessary additional financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. 12 13 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of changes in United States and international borrowing rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we are exposed to market risk in certain geographic areas that have experienced or remain vulnerable to an economic downturn, such as China. We purchase substantially all of our inventory from companies in China, and, therefore, we are subject to the risk that such suppliers will be unable to provide inventory at competitive prices. While we believe that, if such an event were to occur we would be able to find alternative sources of inventory at competitive prices, we cannot assure you that we would be able to do so. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. Historically and as of September 30, 2000, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities to minimize our market risk. INTEREST RATE RISK We have financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk including both debt and investment instruments. Due to the conservative nature of our investments and relatively short duration, we believe interest rate risk is mitigated. We assumed a three-year $25,000,000 revolving credit line with BABC in conjunction with the Pentech acquisition. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at Pentech's option, at either prime plus 0.5% or libor plus 2.5%. Based on our current working capital levels and our cash flow from operations, we do not expect to utilize our credit line. Accordingly, we believe that our exposure to interest rate risk is not material. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK We have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong. Sales from these operations are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, purchases of inventory and operating expenses are typically denominated in Hong Kong dollars, thereby creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the Hong Kong dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate may positively or negatively affect our gross margins, operating income and retained earnings. The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar has been fixed by the Hong Kong government since 1983 at HK$7.80 to US$1.00 and, accordingly, has not represented a currency exchange risk to the U.S. dollar. We do not believe that near-term changes in exchange rates, if any, will result in a material effect on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows, and therefore, we have chosen not to enter into foreign currency hedging transactions. We cannot assure you that this approach will be successful, especially in the event of a significant and sudden change in the value of the Hong Kong dollar. 13 14 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
