We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Master Replicas, Inc. as of March 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

Subsequent Events- Merger December 26, 2006

Master Replicas Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2006 and its results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2006. The results for the six months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007.
Change of Fiscal Year End
In December 2006, in connection, with the merger, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31, the year end of Corgi.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Master Replicas Inc. and Master Replicas Hong Kong Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The accounts of Corgi and Cards will be consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition, December 26, 2006, forward.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include estimates for the recoverability of accounts receivable; returns and allowances; inventory and deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, interest-bearing savings accounts, and certificates of deposit with an initial term of less than three months at the date of purchase
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Bad debts are provided for based on management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the Company reserved $44,446 and $560,061 for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $44,446 and $536,101, respectively.
The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and requires no collateral from its customers.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful life of the assets, which range from three to five years.
Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term or the fair value at the inception of the lease. Depreciation and Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful life of the assets, which is one to three years.

Master Replicas Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, costs of significant renewals and improvements added to the depreciable base of the property.
Web Site Development
In accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Company capitalized costs associated with Web development, or building of its Website. Costs incurred in the preliminary project stage were expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the development stage were capitalized. Costs incurred for maintenance are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of two years.
Tooling Costs
Tooling costs consist of the costs incurred to make manufacturing materials required to produce the replicas, such as molds or specialized tools. Tooling costs are amortized over the economic life of the tools, which management has determined is one year. Amortization expense is included in cost of goods sold as a product cost.
Vacation Policy
Vacation pay is recorded when earned by the employee.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Provisions, when required, are made to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values.
The Company’s finished goods inventory is held at a third party distribution center in Edison, New Jersey for the fulfillment of all direct consumer orders, retail orders and distributions orders in North America and at a freight facility in Hong Kong.
The Company provides a reserve for obsolesce based on the determination of the primary future demand forecasts and marketability. Balances at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006 were $112,036 and $112,541 respectively.
Inventory valued at $2,029,912 and $1,459,928 at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006 is maintained outside the United States.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped and, in certain arrangements, when the products reach the destination as specified by the customer, which is when title is passed and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.
The provisions for trade discounts, products returns, incentive programs for distributor and end customers are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. The provision is estimated based on factors that include, but are not limited to, historical sales returns, discounts given and current known trends. Should the actual product returns and allowances exceed the estimates, additional reductions to the Company’s revenue would result

Master Replicas Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Revenue for internet sales amounted to approximately 22% and 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
Deferred Revenue represents payments collected in advance, typically related to international customers.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which is the asset and liability method for accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $223,398 and $369,710 for the three month period March 31, 2006 and the six month period ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Freight and Shipping Costs
Freight costs that are incurred to ship products and materials to the fulfillment house are expensed as cost of goods when incurred. Freight in on inventory is capitalized in the cost of inventory.
Shipping costs for internet sales are included in cost of goods and revenue. The amount included in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the six months ended September 30, 2006 were $163,468 and $243,354, respectively.
Deferred Acquisition Costs
Deferred acquisitions cost were $0 and $749,577 at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The Company has accumulated costs associated with the merger described in note 1. The deferred acquisition costs are a combination of legal and professional fees that have been deferred in the Company’s financial statements. These costs will be included in the determination of the purchase price for the acquired companies at the date of acquisition (see note 1).
Provision for Returns
The financial statements include a provision for product returns of $465,148 and $340,166 at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively. These amounts are based on current sales and estimates of future returns. The estimates are derived from historical cost experience. This amount is netted against accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At March 31 and September 30 2006 the Company’s uninsured cash balance was $516,444 and $520,907.

Stock-Based Compensation
Through December 31, 2004, we accounted for our stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is measured on the date of the grant as the difference between the deemed fair value of our common stock and the exercise or purchase price multiplied by the number of stock options or restricted stock awards granted.
From January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, we accounted for stock-based compensation expense for employees and for non-employees using the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services , and recorded the fair value of non-employee stock options as an expense over the vesting term of the option.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payments, which requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) requires nonpublic companies that used the minimum value method under SFAS No. 123 for either recognition or pro forma disclosures to apply SFAS No. 123(R) using the prospective transition method. As such, we will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in future periods to equity awards outstanding at the date of SFAS No. 123(R)’s adoption that were measured using the minimum value method. Effective with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we have elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted to employees. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we will recognize the fair value of employee stock-based awards granted or modified on or after January 1, 2006 using the straight line method over the vesting period of the award.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board of Directors having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 in fiscal 2008 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB published FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation is effective for us in fiscal year 2008 beginning April 1, 2007. Management is assessing the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

Master Replicas Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In evaluating the ability to realize its net deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent fiscal years, tax planning strategies that are prudent, and feasible, and forecasts of future taxable income. In considering sources of future taxable income, the Company makes certain assumptions and judgments which are based on the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying business of the Company. A partial valuation allowance has been recorded against the gross deferred tax assets for all periods presented since management believes that after considering a            number of factors including the positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, that it is more likely than not that a portion of these assets will not be realized. Our valuation allowance increased by $190,000 and $35,000 for the three months period ended March 31, 2006 and six month period September 30, 2006, respectively.
The Company may be subject to limitation on the availability of net operating loss carry forwards due to changes in ownership.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has an income tax receivable of $399,137 for Federal and State tax estimates paid in early 2006. Subsequent to September 30, 2006, the majority of the funds were received from the Federal tax authority.
11. Stock Option Plan and Warrants
The Company has a stock incentive plan (the 2004 Stock Plan “the Plan”) Under the plan, the Company may grant stock options to officers and key employees to purchase shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock. The total number of options authorized under the Plan is 15,500,000. These options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over a three year period. On March 31, 2006 the plan had 12,196,359 options outstanding and the exercise prices vary from $.01 to $.11 per share. On September 30, 2006 the plan had 15,182,871 shares outstanding under the plan and the exercise prices vary from $.01 to $.39 per share.
On August 5, 2006 the Board of Directors granted the CEO of the Company, 974,885 shares of immediately vested common stock. Compensation expense of $380,149 was recorded related to the value of the shares.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The following assumptions were made in estimating fair value:
         
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
Assumptions   March 31, 2006   September 30, 2006
Dividend yield
  0.00%   0.00%
Risk free interest rate
  4.70%   4.70%
Expectied live (in years)
  10   10
Expected volatility
  100.00%   100.00%
We estimated volatility based upon the Company’s limited equity transactions and the volatility that a same industry company stock has undertaken. The expected life of the option is the legal life of the option because of limited history. The risk free interest rate is based upon government investment.
Stock based compensation charged to operations related to stock options was $183,222 and $427,839 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and the six month period ending September 30, 2006, respectively.

Outstanding Stock Warrants
As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding 1,200,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock to certain holders of Series B stock. The warrants were part of the 2004 convertible loan agreements. The convertible notes were converted to Series B stock in 2005 at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.0001 any time before the termination date, which is the earlier of December 14, 2014 or five years after the repayment in full of the standby lines of credit owing to the warrant holders. The fair value of these warrants was estimated to be nominal on the date of the initial convertible note payable agreement was entered into during 2005 and no separate value was assigned to these warrants.

As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 169,945 shares of Series A convertible Preferred Stock at an exercisable price of $1.25 per share. The warrants were issued in conjunction with the conversion of notes payable to Series A preferred Stock in 2004. The warrants are exercisable at any time before the termination dates, ranging from May 17, 2009 to May 20, 2014. The fair value of these warrants was estimated to be $54,664 at the time of issuance .The fair value of the warrants were treated as a cost of conversion and recorded as paid in capital of the Series A Preferred Stock.
As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding warrants, to purchase 1,325,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an exercisable price of $0.05 per share. These warrants were issued in 2005 in connection with convertible notes payable the convertible notes were converted to redeemable convertible preferred Series B stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time before the termination date, which is the earlier of November 16, 2014 or five years after the repayment in full of the amounts owing under the notes payable to the warrant holder. Since the warrants are convertible into Series B Preferred Stock which stock is not classified within the equity section of the balance sheet, the warrants to purchase shares of Series B Preferred are treated as a derivative liability and are recorded at fair value and adjusted to fair value at all reporting dates. The fair value of these warrants were de minims on the date of issuance. At March 31, 2006, the value of these warrants had not changed. At September 30, 2006, the warrants were valued at $380,000, consistent with the value of the exchange of shares at the time of Merger. As a result, the statement of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2006 includes a charge of $380,000 for the change in the fair value of derivative liability.
