ACTION PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Action Products International, Inc. and its subsidiary, Action Products Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Company”), at March 31, 2005 and the results of its (i) operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and (ii) cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The financial information included herein is taken from the books and records of the Company and is unaudited.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Through March 31, 2005, the Company has been able to meet its obligations as they come due; however, it is at least reasonably possible that if the Company continues to incur losses and negative cash flows, it will have to obtain additional sources of debt or equity financing to maintain its liquidity. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or available on terms acceptable to the Company, if needed.

2. Line of credit. In June 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution, to renew an existing revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) for up to $2 million at Prime plus ½%. The borrowings under the Revolver are collateralized by inventory and accounts receivable. The Company utilizes the Revolver to finance accounts receivable, inventory and other operating and capital requirements. The renewed Revolver matures June 30, 2005 and contains covenants relating to the financial condition of the Company. If the Company fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Revolver, the maturity date could be accelerated. The Company is currently in compliance with all of the covenants.

3. Mortgage Payable. In November 1998, the Company borrowed $750,000 in the form of a mortgage payable. The mortgage is collateralized by real estate and improvements and contains certain restrictive covenants, which provide that, among other things, the Company maintain a minimum working capital, net worth, debt service coverage and a maximum debt to net worth ratio. If the Company fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants contained in the note, the maturity date could be accelerated. At March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

4. Earnings (loss) per share. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

5. Common Stock and Equity Securities. On March 30, 2004, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a program for repurchases of up to 150,000 of our outstanding common shares. The repurchased shares will be held in the treasury. The Company repurchased 6,000 common shares during the first quarter of 2005.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, changes in shareholders’ equity were as follows:

• The Company issued 257,900 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants and received proceeds of approximately $611,900

• The Company issued 4,000 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of options for proceeds of approximately $10,000 and

• The Company repurchased 6,000 shares of common stock for its’ treasury for approximately $16,700.

Common Stock and Equity Securities (cont.)

At March 31, 2003, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price not less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The effect on net income and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation is shown below:

		Three Months Ended Mar. 31st 2005			Three Months Ended March 31st 2004
Net loss	As reported	$	(13,100	)	$	(188,800	)

Loss per share	Basic & Diluted
	As reported	$	(0.00	)	$	(.05	)
	Pro forma	$	(0.00	)	$	(.06	)

6. Other Commitments. On March 29^th, 2004, the Company entered into an operating lease for 19,000 square feet of additional warehouse space. The lease commencing April 1, 2004 is for a one-year term, with monthly payments of $8,550. The lease was terminated in first quarter, 2005.

On February 16, 2005 Action Products International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Taffy Entertainment, LLC, to develop and distribute various lines of soft toys based on the new preschool entertainment series ToddWorld®.

Plans for distribution include specialty toy stores, gift and bookstores, and other notable outlets for quality children’s products. The term of the Agreement is for four years expiring on February 28, 2009, with a two-year extension through February 28, 2011 subject to the Company meeting certain minimum sales objectives and royalty requirements during the initial term.

7. Reclassifications. Certain amounts from the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

competition, pricing pressures, market acceptance of our products, the effect of economic conditions, intellectual property rights, the results of financing efforts, risks in product development and other risks identified in this report and our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2004

The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The following table sets forth, as a percentage of sales, certain items appearing in our consolidated statements of operations.

	Quarter Ended March 31, 2005		Quarter Ended March 31, 2004
Net Sales	100	%	100	%
Cost of Sales	44	%	49	%
Gross Profit	56	%	51	%
Selling Expense	25	%	30	%
General and Administrative Expense	32	%	32	%
Total Operating Expense	57	%	62	%
Loss from Operations	(1	)%	(11	)%
Other Income (Expense)	1	%	—
Loss before income taxes	(0	)%	(11	)%
Taxes	—		—
Net Loss	(0	)%	(11	)%

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $1,955,600, compared with net sales of $1,762,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Management attributes the $192,800 or 11% increase in net sales to sales of Curiosity Kits products acquired in the second quarter of 2004 partially offset by decreases in the Company’s Masters and Play & Store brands.

Gross profit increased by $195,400 to $1,087,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared with $891,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The gross profit percentage increased from 51% to 56% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The increase in gross profit percentage was mainly attributable to a decrease in importation freight costs and lower product costs. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase in sales discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $34,500 to $1,116,700 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 from $1,082,200 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. This 3% increase in SG&A expenses is due primarily to a compensation increase due principally to staffing additions in marketing, sales and warehouse operations

Interest expense related to current and long-term debt was $14,300 and $14,500 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Other income and (expense), net during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $30,900 and $16,300, respectively. The $14,600 change was mainly attributable to gains from investments.

Loss before income taxes and net loss, as a result of the foregoing, was $13,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared with $188,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources:

As of March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $76,400, representing a decrease of $645,400 compared to December 31, 2004.

After taking account of non-cash items and other adjustments, our cash generated from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $97,600. The principal source of cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was from collections of accounts receivable of $242,800. Principal uses of cash from operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2005 were:

• a $160,500 increase in prepaid expenses due mainly to trade show and licensing fees and

• a decrease in accrued expenses of $36,100.

The principle uses of cash from investing activities were $13,500 for the purchase of investment securities and $101,400 for additional tooling and warehousing equipment.

To meet a portion of our operating cash requirements, we received net proceeds of $621,900 from common stock option and warrant exercises. After applying $1,130,500 to decrease borrowing under our line of credit, $102,800 to repayment of mortgage principal and $16,700 to the purchase of treasury stock, this resulted in net cash utilized for financing activities of $628,100.

At March 31, 2005, borrowing under our line of credit was $438,600, an increase of $232,000 from $206,600 as of March 31, 2004. Our line of credit provides for borrowings up to $2,000,000 at the prime rate plus ½% and matures June 30, 2005. Under the line of credit agreement, we are subject to financial covenants relating to certain asset balances and financial ratios. As of March 31, 2005 we were eligible to borrow $2,000,000 under our line of credit and were in compliance with our financial covenants.

ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There was no change in our internal controls, which are included within disclosure controls and procedures, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.
