Sale of the Company’s Assets and Assumption of Certain Liabilities
 
Trudy Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Company’) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 18, 2009, whereby the Company would sell substantially all of its assets to MMAC, LLC (“MMAC”), which also would assume certain liabilities of the Company (with the exception of approximately $2.7 million of debt owed to William W. Burnham, a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Company).
 
Under the terms of the original Asset Purchase Agreement, Trudy would receive a note in the principal amount of $225,000 from MMAC (the “Buyer Note”) and an equity interest in MMAC, not to exceed 33%, determined in accordance with the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company at Closing. The note and equity would be transferred to Mr. Burnham in consideration of his release of the debt in the amount of $2.7 million with the exception of up to $50,000 of debt owed to Mr. Burnham (the “Seller Contingent Note”) which will remain outstanding and which will be repaid to Mr. Burnham one year following the closing if and to the extent Trudy has not spent the $50,000 of cash it will retain at the closing for general corporate purposes.
 
 
Page 4 of 56

 
 
Holders of the Company’s common stock will not receive any payment or distribution with respect to their shares pursuant to the sale of substantially all the assets to MMAC or the possible dissolution of the Company or possible sale of the corporate shell, all described below.
 
It was a condition of Closing that such NAV be not less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000). The Company has entered into an Amendment No. 1, dated June 15, 2010, to its Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Amendment, the condition of Closing requiring that NAV be not less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000) has been amended to provide that the NAV be not less than (-$442,000), taking into account any adjustment resulting from accounting credits and any cash payment by Mr. Burnham to the Company referred to below.
 
In addition, if the NAV is greater than negative $442,000 (-$442,000), but is equal to or less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000), the Buyer Note would be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between negative $100,000 (-$100,000) and the NAV. In connection with the reduction of the Buyer Note, Mr. Burnham would receive a number of Common Units, determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement of MMAC.
 
In the event that the NAV is equal to or less than negative $442,000 (-$442,000), the Buyer Note would be reduced to zero. Certain accounting credits for the Company for returnable sales and inventory obsolescence, subject to a $100,000 cap, could be used to offset up to 50% of the amount by which the NAV is than negative $442,000 (-$442,000). After taking into account such accounting credits, if available, Mr. Burnham would be required to make up the difference between the NAV (plus such accounting credits) and negative $442,000 (-$442,000) by a cash payment to the Company at Closing. Mr. Burnham would receive a number of Common Units in respect of such cash payment, determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement of MMAC.
 
As previously announced, at Closing, MMAC will assume loans made to the Company by an affiliate of MMAC. The aggregate amount of principal so loaned is currently $545,000.
 
MMAC will also enter into a new four year lease with Noreast Management, LLC, a company that is 91% owned by Mr. Burnham, for the Company’s current headquarters on substantially the same terms as the current lease with Trudy, except that MMAC may terminate the lease on six months’ prior written notice.
 
Ashley Andersen Zantop, CEO and President of the Company, Fell Herdeg, CFO, and Mr. Burnham will be retained as employees by MMAC on substantially the same terms as their current employment with the Company. Mr. Burnham and Ms. Andersen Zantop will join the Board of Directors of MMAC.
 
The Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, and the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by an Independent Committee of outside Directors of the Company, by the Board of Directors of the Company and by written consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
 
Page 5 of 56

 
 
Furthermore, our Board of Directors has authorized the dissolution of our Company under Delaware law, the delisting of our Common Stock from trading through the facilities of the pink sheets, the deregistration of our Common Stock with the SEC and liquidation, all as soon as practicable after the closing of the asset sale, provided that our Company’s management has not determined an economically viable alternative to dissolution. The principal alternative to dissolution would entail the sale of the corporate shell. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, it is highly unlikely that stockholders will receive any distribution whatsoever. In the event of the sale of the corporate shell, it is possible that the Company could receive some form of consideration so that the shareholders could receive a distribution after payment of our Company’s expenses and repayment of the Seller Contingent Note. Our management considers a distribution unlikely; the Company can provide no assurances that it will be successful in the sale of the shell; and shareholders must not assume any benefit would result to them or distribution would be made.
 
The closing of the sale of assets and assumption of liabilities is subject to compliance with U.S. securities laws, including the clearance with the Securities and Exchange Commission of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C and a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, both of which will be mailed to all of the Company’s shareholders for their information, as well as other closing conditions. A Closing is expected in August 2010.
 
The assets and liabilities to be sold to MMAC are marked as assets held for sale and described below as discontinued operations. Please refer to Footnote 2a to the financial statements, Assets Held for Sale.

Formats
 
Fiscal year 2009 marked the development of several new formats and related digital media opportunities for the company. In early Spring of 2009, the Company was pleased to partner with Audible.com and Follett Digital to introduce a range of the Company’s successful titles as e-book downloads. Below is a summary of some of the Company’s unique formats and a sampling of the licensed properties that are combined with these formats:
 
 
In early 2009, the Company launched two new formats designed to address the market opportunity for unique book and CD combinations:
 
The Read, Play & Go!™ format is a 7 by 7 inch, 20-page board book with a casebound hardcover, audio CD and carry-along handle, with a retail price of $9.99. This format was launched with Disney-licensed content featuring Disney Mickey Mouse Club House and Winnie the Pooh content as well as Sesame-licensed content featuring Elmo and Abby Cadabby. It was first launched in English and then in Spanish for Spain. The Company is continuing to release titles in this format.
 
Step-by-Step™ format is a 7 x 9 inch puzzle book with 10 pages, a padded casebound cover, and an audio CD in a patented CD storage tray for $15.99, and was first released with content featuring Disney Princess, Disney •  Pixar Cars, and Sesame Street. This format was launched in English for sale in the domestic specialty, trade and mass markets.
 
In 2009 the Company also launched a variety of titles with the digital distributors noted above for sales to the school and library market and directly to consumers in a PDF –based digital eBook format and an audio-visual MP4 format.
 
In November 2008, the Company received 3,000 units of a uniquely designed MP3 player made with a proprietary design and trademarked in the Company’s Bebop™ and Carry-a-Tune™ trademarks and, the Company believes, is safe for all ages, has parental volume control, an LCD display and an open system for downloading audio content from the Company’s and other audio libraries. The “Carry-a-Tune™” player is offered only in direct-to-consumer markets and was introduced in the Music for Little People™ catalog mailing in the Fall of 2008, the StudioMouse catalog in Spring 2009 as well as on the Company’s and various other e-commerce sites.

Marketing and Sales
 
The Company’s products are sold both nationally and internationally to book, toy, and specialty store resellers, warehouse clubs and book, gift and educational distributors by an in-house sales staff and approximately 100 independent commissioned sales representatives. The Company also mails a catalog directly to consumers, schools, and libraries for Music For Little People™, its direct-to-consumer and school and library business assets that were purchased from Musical Kidz, LLC in FY 2008.
 
A Vice President of Sales as well as a team of independent representatives call on mass merchandisers and non-returnable specialty book accounts such as Target, Costco, Barnes and Noble, T.J. Maxx and Wal-Mart. They also handle direct sales to international accounts, domestic specialty accounts and other retailers and wholesalers. The Vice President of Sales also supervises several networks of independent sales representatives totaling over 100 sales people who call on all other applicable book, gift and toy sales channels. Two independent sales representatives specifically call on specialty sales customers in the home shopping television, door-to-door and display marketing channels. The Vice President of Direct-to-Consumer Sales oversees direct-to-consumer sales under the Music for Little People™ imprint. The Chairman and Direct or of Corporate Development and the CEO each handle sales development in certain targeted international territories.
 
The Company sells its products to accounts on both a returnable and a non-returnable basis.
 
Manufacturing and Product Design
 
Plush and toy product designs are executed with the Company’s oversight by overseas contractors. Book content is created by freelance authors and illustrators working under the direction of and in conjunction with the Company’s editorial and graphic design staff. Audio is produced by sound designers overseen by the Company’s editorial department. Instruments and electronics are developed by skilled manufacturers with the oversight of the Company’s development staff.
 
The Company manufactures the majority of its products by sub-contracting with independent plush toy factories, compact disc duplicators, toy manufacturers and printing plants located in Asia. Toys purchased during the year were purchased from one vendor in China, but the Company has other qualified sources of supply from which it has purchased in the past. Books and audio are procured from multiple vendors in China, Indonesia and Singapore. The Company co-copyrights with the Smithsonian Institution the design of each Smithsonian toy; the design of each Disney toy is owned by Disney. The designs of other stuffed toy products are proprietary to the Company.
 
The Company does not own any of the Disney-branded book and audio products, other than the basic copyrights to its musical compositions and its right to its patented and patent-pending proprietary formats; Disney retains all other content rights, and actively manages the release of new products. The Company believes that production could quickly be transferred to other vendors in China or other countries if production were not available from its current vendors or if more favorable pricing became available elsewhere. Printers can also perform certain other functions such as receiving and consolidating stuffed toys from the original manufacturer, creating and printing packaging, and labeling and repacking product combinations for volume orders for drop shipment directly to large customers. Audiocassettes and limited number of CD’s are duplicated domestically in the United States. All other CD’s are duplicated in Hong Kong, China and Singapore and shipped to the Asian book printer to be inserted into the books. Substantially all purchases are in U.S. dollars.

Governmental Regulations
 
The Company is subject to the provisions of, among other laws, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act and the Federal Consumer Products Safety Act. Those laws empower the Consumer Products Safety Commission (the “CPSC”) to protect children from hazardous products. The CPSC has the authority to exclude from the market any articles that are found to be hazardous and can require a manufacturer to repurchase such products under certain circumstances. Any such determination by the CPSC is subject to court review. Similar laws exist in some states and cities in the United States and in many jurisdictions throughout the world. The Company endeavors to comply with all applicable regulations.
 
Competition
 
The Company believes it is the leading supplier of licensed educational books and audiobooks that are often packaged with realistic plush toys. The Company is not aware of any direct competitors in this unique market although there are a small number of publishers who compete by combining plush toys with single titles of children’s classic books or licensed sound books. Management believes that the Company’s innovative approach to packaging audio CDs with educational novelty books also differentiates its products in the marketplace and has little competition from other publishers in this market niche, although more publishers are experimenting with combining some form of CD with various book formats such as workbooks, sticker books and activity books. The Company believes that its competitive advantages lie in its licenses with Disney and the Smithsonian Institution, its unique editorial genre, its innovative formats, its superior design, its creative approach to new product development including book formats, electronic formats and the perceived high quality of its products relative to the retail price.
 
However, other than the aforementioned specific niche market, many publishers and distributors compete with the Company for sales. Many are larger and have substantially greater financial resources that may be devoted to sourcing, promoting and selling their products. It is possible that increased competition or improved performance by these competitors may impact the Company’s market share, profit margin and operating results.
 
The Company relies on selected distributors to gain access to key channels of trade such as retail book wholesalers and library distributors. The Company is dependent upon these resellers and as a result poor performance on their part can have an adverse impact on the Company’s profit margin and operating results.
 
 
Page 11 of 56

 
 
The Company’s ability to design, manufacture, market and sell high quality, desirable products depends largely upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, particularly in the product design, publishing and sales areas. Inability to retain highly skilled individuals could impact the Company’s financial performance.
 
Employees
 
As of March 31, 2010 the Company had 25 full-time and 2 part-time employees. As of May 31, 2010 the Company had 23 full-time and 3 part-time employees.
 
 
The Company leases a 27,000 square foot warehouse and administrative facility at 353 Main Avenue in Norwalk, Connecticut. The building is located approximately 45 miles northeast of New York City. This building is owned by a limited liability company of three partners. Its principal member who owns over 90% equity is the Company’s Chairman. A former Director and Officer and a current Director each have a minority interest. The property was purchased and financed independently of the Company.
 
The Company signed a three year lease, effective May 1, 2008 that holds the Company responsible for payment of taxes, insurance and utilities.
 
The Company also leases a small space in Redway, California to house the 1 employee allocated to the Music for Little People™ direct-to-consumer and school and library business.
 
 
The Company is occasionally subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. In the opinion of Management, these claims in the aggregate do not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or its business operations.
 
 
 
The Company’s Common Stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “TRDY.OB” until August 14, 2009 when its stock was delisted for failure to file its annual report on Form 10K for the year ended March 31, 2009 on a timely basis. After August 14, 2009, the stock has been traded on the Pink Sheets.
 
 
Page 12 of 56

 
 
As of May 31, 2010 the price of the Company’s Common Stock was $0.0003 per share. The prices presented were bid quotations, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board Market, which reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not represent actual transactions.
 
As of March 31, 2010, there were 1,088 common stockholders of record; there were 1,427 as of March 31, 2009.
 
Since its organization, the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and is dependent on a number of factors including future earnings, capital requirements, and the financial condition of the Company.
 
 
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on historical experience and known factors regarding specific customers and industries in which customers operate. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.
 
Revenues from product sales are recognized in the period when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, the products are shipped and title has transferred to the customer, all significant obligations have been delivered, and collection is considered probable. Since many of the product shipments are accompanied with the right of return, a provision for estimated returns on these sales is made at the time of sale.
 
The Company maintains allowances for product returns. These allowances are based on historical experience and known factors regarding specific information from customers or a product’s known sell-through performance in the marketplace. If product return rates exceeded the established allowances, additional allowances would be required.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010 the Company did not record revenues for the majority of its largest returnable accounts. Such sales were deemed to be consignment sales and would not be recorded as revenue until payment was made. The Company will review this change in the future to determine whether the Company can return to its historical method of booking sales upon invoice with an appropriate reserve for product returns.

The Company writes down its inventories for estimated slow moving and obsolete goods based upon historical selling patterns, assumptions about future demand and market conditions. A significant sudden increase in the demand for the Company’s products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. Additionally, the Company’s estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the write-down required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if the Company’s inventory is determined to be overvalued, it would be required to recognize such costs in its cost of goods sold at the time of such determin ation. Likewise, if the Company does not properly estimate the lower of cost or market of its inventory and it is therefore determined to be undervalued, it may have over-reported its cost of goods sold in previous periods and would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale. Therefore, although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and its reported operating results.
 
The Company defers certain costs related to the development of new titles and amortizes these costs over the estimated useful lives when published.
 
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009
 
Sale of the Company’s Assets and Assumption of Certain Liabilities
 
The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 18, 2009, whereby the Company would sell substantially all of its assets to MMAC, LLC (“MMAC”), which also would assume certain liabilities of the Company (with the exception of approximately $2.7 million of debt owed to William W. Burnham, a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Company).
 
Holders of the Company’s common stock will not receive any payment or distribution with respect to their shares pursuant to the sale of substantially all the assets to MMAC or the possible dissolution of the Company or possible sale of the corporate shell, all described below.
 
The Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated June 15, 2010, and the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by an Independent Committee of outside Directors of the Company, by the Board of Directors of the Company and by written consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
Furthermore, our Board of Directors has authorized the dissolution of our Company under Delaware law, the delisting of our Common Stock from trading through the facilities of the pink sheets, the deregistration of our Common Stock with the SEC and liquidation, all as soon as practicable after the closing of the asset sale, provided that our Company’s management has not determined an economically viable alternative to dissolution. The principal alternative to dissolution would entail the sale of the corporate shell. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, it is highly unlikely that stockholders will receive any distribution whatsoever. In the event of the sale of the corporate shell, it is possible that the Company could receive some form of consideration so that the shareholders could receive a distribution after payment of our Company’s expenses and repayment of the Seller Contingent Note. Our management considers a distribution unlikely; the Company can provide no assurances that it will be successful in the sale of the shell; and shareholders must not assume any benefit would result to them or distribution would be made.

The closing of the sale of assets and assumption of liabilities is subject to compliance with U.S. securities laws, including the clearance with the Securities and Exchange Commission of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C and a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, both of which will be mailed to all of the Company’s shareholders for their information, as well as other closing conditions. A Closing is expected in August 2010.
 
The assets and liabilities to be sold to MMAC are marked as assets held for sale and described below as discontinued operations. Please refer to Footnote 2a to the financial statements, Assets Held for Sale.
 
Results of Operations
 
NET SALES FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
Overview
 
Consolidated net sales from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2010 were $5,355,782 compared to $5,833,843 for the year ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $478,060, or 8.2 %.
 
The Company’s profit margin from discontinued operations improved from 33.7% in the prior year to 35.6% in the current year, resulting in gross profit from discontinued operations for the current year of $1,940,477 compared with gross profit for the prior year of $1,967,601. The Company’s fiscal 2010 net loss from discontinued operations was $1,093,368 versus a net loss of $1,291,602 for the prior year, a decreased loss of $198,234. The gross profit improvement was due to a change in the sales mix, decreased amortization costs, warehousing, and fulfillment expenses.
 
Sales Declines
 
Music For Little People account sales from discontinued operations declined $562,450 or 49.7%. The lower revenue was primarily due to the effort to conserve cash by mailing the Company’s annual catalog later in the December quarter, and at a reduced quantity to support the division’s e-commerce web sales for the period.
 
 
Page 15 of 56

 
 
International mass market distributor sales from discontinued operations decreased $392,388 or 35.7% as a result of the poor economic conditions in Latin America and the loss of distribution from the Company’s distributor in that market.
 
Domestic book distributor direct (display marketers) sales from discontinued operations declined $276,963 or 49.3% as a result of reduced purchases by the Company’s one major display marketer customer due to poor economic conditions and the reluctance of this customer to accept the Company’s price increases.
 
Sales Increases
 
Sales to non-returnable discount retailers from discontinued operations increased $416,921 or 75.8% as a result of a decision by two major national discount chains to increase their book purchases from the Company’s titles based on favorable test marketing.
 
Sales to international trade book distributors from discontinued operations increased $332,112, or more than double, as a result of the Company’s addition of a new distributor in Italy.
 
The remaining net change in sales from discontinued operations was the result of sales increases and decreases over the rest of the Company’s 50 divisions.
 
COST OF SALES FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
 
The Company’s cost of sales from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2010 decreased $450,937 from $3,866,242 in the prior year to $3,415,305 in the current year, a decrease of 11.7%. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales from discontinued operations increased from 63.3% to 63.7% in the current year. The most significant contributor to the decreased cost of sales came from decreased product development costs, salaries and benefits expenses and lower warehousing and fulfillment costs resulting from a change in its outsourced warehouse for handling sales of Music for Little People products. As a percentage of net sales from discontinued operations, direct product costs (cost of goods excluding overhead and miscellaneous costs) in aggregate increased from 41.4% to 43.6% as a result of a change in the sale mix an d cost increases from international manufacturers, primarily located in southern China.
 
GROSS PROFIT FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
 
The resulting gross profit from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2010 decreased 1.4% to $1,940,477 versus the prior year’s gross profit of $1,967,601. Gross margin improved slightly from 33.7% in the prior year to 36.2% for the year ended March 31, 2010.

SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
 
The Company’s selling, general, and administrative costs from discontinued operations decreased $390,097 to $2,810,163 from $3,200,260 for the year ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of 12.2%.
 
Decreased costs include royalties, salaries, and amortization expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increases in catalog expenses and other outside services along with other small cost increases.
 
LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS PRIOR TO OTHER INCOME/EXPENSES.
 
The resulting loss from discontinued operations prior to other income/expenses for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $869,686 versus a loss of $1,232,659 for the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, the loss from operations was 16.2% for the current year versus a loss of 21.1% for the prior year.
 
OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
 
Total other expense (net) from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2010 increased 279.5% to $223,682. This was due to increased interest expense in the current year and due to a non recurring debt extinguishment of $55,000 in the prior year. This debt was related to a note due a former joint venture partner that filed for bankruptcy in the Republic of South Africa.
 
NET LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
 
As a result of the items discussed above, the Company’s net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $1,093,368 compared to a net loss of $1,290,602 for the comparable prior fiscal year.
 
Recently Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements-
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC 350-10, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” ASC 350-10 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350-10, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” ASC No. 350-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805-10, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised December 2007), Business Combinations”. ASC 805-10 addresses application issues raised by preparers, auditors and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805-10 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. ASC 805-10 will have an impact on our accounting for any potential future acquisitions.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management. ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively. Because ASC Topic 855 impacts the disclosure requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financ ial condition.
 
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (ASU 2009-05). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical l iability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout these financials have been updated for the Codification.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an as set may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not impact our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, or ASU 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning in fiscal years on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements, if any.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a: subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“2010-06”). 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, which updates the guidance in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, such that companies that file with the SEC will no longer will be required to indicate the date through which they have analyzed subsequent events. This updated guidance became effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted within the year ended March 31, 2010 financial statements.
 
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” (“ASU 2010-11”). ASU 2010-11 clarifies the only form of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements is one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in this ASU are effective at the beginning of a reporting entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after March 5, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-11 is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17, or ASU 2010-17, which provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development arrangements that contain payment provisions contingent upon achieving specified events. ASU 2010-17 is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements, if any.

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a deficiency in net assets. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, our Board of Directors has authorized the dissolution of our Company under Delaware law, the delisting of our Common Stock from trading through the facilities of the pink sheets, the deregistration of our Common Stock with the SEC and liquidation, all as soon as practicable after the closing of the asset sale, provided that our Company’s management has not determined an economically viable alternative to dissolution. The principal alternative to dissolution would entail the sale of the corporate shell. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, it is highly unlikely that stockholders will receive any distribution whatsoev er. In the event of the sale of the corporate shell, it is possible that the Company could receive some form of consideration so that the shareholders could receive a distribution after payment of our Company’s expenses and repayment of the Seller Contingent Note. Our management considers a distribution unlikely; the Company can provide no assurances that it will be successful in the sale of the shell; and shareholders must not assume any benefit would result to them or distribution would be made.

On December 18, 2009 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement whereby the Company would sell substantially all of its assets to MMAC, LLC (“MMAC”), which also would assume certain liabilities of the Company (with the exception of approximately $2.7 million of debt owed to William W. Burnham, a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Company).
 
Under the terms of the original Asset Purchase Agreement, Trudy would receive a note in the principal amount of $225,000 from MMAC (the “Buyer Note”) and an equity interest in MMAC, not to exceed 33%, determined in accordance with the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company at Closing. The note and equity would be transferred to Mr. Burnham in consideration of his release of the debt in the amount of $2.7 million with the exception of up to $50,000 of debt owed to Mr. Burnham (the “Seller Contingent Note”) which will remain outstanding and which will be repaid to Mr. Burnham one year following the closing if and to the extent Trudy has not spent the $50,000 of cash it will retain at the closing for general corporate purposes.
 
Holders of the Company’s common stock will not receive any payment or distribution with respect to their shares pursuant to the sale of substantially all the assets to MMAC or the possible dissolution of the Company or possible sale of the corporate shell, all described below.
 
It was a condition of Closing that such NAV be not less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000). The Company has entered into an Amendment No. 1, dated June 15, 2010, to its Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Amendment, the condition of Closing requiring that NAV be not less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000) has been amended to provide that the NAV be not less than (-$442,000), taking into account any adjustment resulting from accounting credits and any cash payment by Mr. Burnham to the Company referred to below.
 
In addition, if the NAV is greater than negative $442,000 (-$442,000), but is equal to or less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000), the Buyer Note would be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between negative $100,000 (-$100,000) and the NAV. In connection with the reduction of the Buyer Note, Mr. Burnham would receive a number of Common Units, determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement of MMAC.
 
In the event that the NAV is equal to or less than negative $442,000 (-$442,000), the Buyer Note would be reduced to zero. Certain accounting credits for the Company for returnable sales and inventory obsolescence, subject to a $100,000 cap, could be used to offset up to 50% of the amount by which the NAV is less than negative $442,000 (-$442,000). After taking into account such accounting credits, if available, Mr. Burnham would be required to make up the difference between the NAV (plus such accounting credits) and negative $442,000 (-$442,000) by a cash payment to the Company at Closing. Mr. Burnham would receive a number of Common Units in respect of such cash payment, determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement of MMAC.
 
As previously announced, at Closing, MMAC will assume loans made to the Company by an affiliate of MMAC. The aggregate amount of principal so loaned is currently $545,000.
 
MMAC will also enter into a new four year lease with Noreast Management, LLC, a company that is 91% owned by Mr. Burnham, for the Company’s current headquarters on substantially the same terms as the current lease with Trudy, except that MMAC may terminate the lease on six months’ prior written notice.
 
 
Page 21 of 56

 
 
Ashley Andersen Zantop, CEO and President of the Company, Fell Herdeg, CFO, and Mr. Burnham will be retained as employees by MMAC on substantially the same terms as their current employment with the Company. Mr. Burnham and Ms. Andersen Zantop will join the Board of Directors of MMAC.
 
The Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, and the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by an Independent Committee of outside Directors of the Company, by the Board of Directors of the Company and by written consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
Furthermore, our Board of Directors has authorized the dissolution of our Company under Delaware law, the delisting of our Common Stock from trading through the facilities of the pink sheets, the deregistration of our Common Stock with the SEC and liquidation, all as soon as practicable after the closing of the asset sale, provided that our Company’s management has not determined an economically viable alternative to dissolution. The principal alternative to dissolution would entail the sale of the corporate shell. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, it is highly unlikely that stockholders will receive any distribution whatsoever. In the event of the sale of the corporate shell, it is possible that the Company could receive some form of consideration so that the shareholders could receive a distribution after payment of our Company’s expenses and repayment of the Seller Contingent Note. Our management considers a distribution unlikely; the Company can provide no assurances that it will be successful in the sale of the shell; and shareholders must not assume any benefit would result to them or distribution would be made.
 
The closing of the sale of assets and assumption of liabilities is subject to compliance with U.S. securities laws, including the clearance with the Securities and Exchange Commission of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C and a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, both of which will be mailed to all of the Company’s shareholders for their information, as well as other closing conditions. A Closing is expected in August 2010.
 
At March 31, 2010 the Company had a deficiency of net assets held for sale of $2,320,770 versus a deficiency of $1,333,071 at March 31, 2009. Working capital deteriorated by $862,417 from a deficiency of $2,554,236 to a deficiency of $3,416,653 at March 31, 2010.
 
Accounts receivable held for sale decreased from $1,042,278 at March 31, 2009 to $994,945 at March 31, 2010, a decrease of $47,333. Accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with assets held for sale decreased $168,566 versus the prior year from $1,597,793 to $1,776,359 at March 31, 2010. Royalties and commissions payable associated with assets held for sale decreased $130,049 versus the prior year from $554,060 at March 31, 2009 to $424,011 at March 31, 2010 primarily as a result of the sales mix.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company received $419,000 in short-term notes from an Affiliate of the Buyer. The notes carry an annual interest rate of 7.0% and any accrued and unpaid interest is due along with any unpaid principal upon termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
 
 
Page 22 of 56

 
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010 the Company also received an additional $601,580 in short-term notes from Mr. Burnham, also its principal shareholder. Mr. Burnham also assumed $223,151 in additional debt that had previously been due to the Company’s bank. All of his shareholder notes are demand notes.
 
As of July 7, 2010 the Company’s backlog from discontinued operations was approximately $787,000.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Trudy Corporation (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disc losures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trudy Corporation as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company suffered net losses from discontinued operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Trudy Corporation
 
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Description of Business
 
Trudy Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Company’), publishes children’s books and audiobooks and designs, manufactures and markets plush stuffed animals and selected musical instruments and audio players for sale to domestic and international retail and wholesale customers. The Company’s products are sold under the trade names (i.e. imprints) of Studio Mouse, Soundprints, Little Soundprints, Music for Little People and Fetching Books.
 
Trudy Corporation was organized as a Connecticut corporation under the name Norwest Manufacturing Corporation on September 14, 1979, changed its name to Trudy Toys Company, Inc. on December 5, 1979, changed its name to Trudy Corporation on March 27, 1984 and was re-incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 25, 1987. On July 27, 1987 the Company first offered shares of common stock for sale to the public.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Credit Risk
 
The Company transacts business on a credit basis with its customers. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support credit sales, but provides an allowance for bad debts based on historical experience and specifically identified risks. The Company also obtains credit insurance on customers when it is deemed warranted. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had allowances for bad debt of $113,192 and $100,000, respectively.
 
The Company also carries an allowance for promotional or cooperative advertising where the Company agrees to pay for a portion of ads run by a merchandiser in order to promote sales of the Company’s products that are in, or soon will be, in the stores. As of March 31, 3010 and 2009 the Company had allowances for promotional and coop advertising of $45,000 and $23,000, respectively.
 
 
Page 30 of 56

 
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, which consist principally of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews its inventory for obsolescence and provides for obsolescence when the inventory is deemed to be unsaleable over a reasonable time.
 
Market value is determined by the sales price that the Company would expect to receive to liquidate quantities of inventory. Valuation reserves are estimated based on quantities on hand, historical and forecasted sales. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had allowances for inventory obsolescence of $277,963 and $264,991, respectively.
 
Equipment
 
Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to ten years for machinery and equipment, and furniture and fixtures, and from one to three years for computer software and hardware.
 
Pre-Publication Costs
 
Pre-publication costs are title development costs including but not limited to authors, illustrators and other artists, narration, audio production, and studio time for recording and mixing final audio products. These costs are capitalized through the date of publication. At the date of publication the costs begin amortization on an accelerated method over their expected revenue generating lives. The accelerated method is based on historical and future expected sales.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with the FASB standard for accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management performs ongoing business reviews and evaluates impairment indicators based on qualitative and quantitative factors. If it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset cannot be fully recovered, an impairment loss is recognized.
 
Revenue
 
Revenues are recorded in accordance GAAP.
 
Revenues from product sales are recognized in the period when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, the products are shipped and title has transferred to the customer, the price is considered fixed and/or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Since many of the product shipments are accompanied with the right of return, a provision for estimated returns on these sales is made at the time of sale, in accordance with the applicable FASB standard, based on historical experience. Returned product is resold when possible. Historically, a portion of returned product is deemed unsaleable and is destroyed.
 
 
Page 31 of 56

 
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010 the Company did not record revenues for the majority of its largest returnable accounts. Such sales were deemed to be consignment sales and would not be recorded as revenue until payment was made. The Company will review this change in the future to determine whether the Company can return to its historical method of booking sales upon invoice with an appropriate reserve for product returns.
 
Royalties
 
The Company records royalty revenue as earned and provides for its royalty expense at the time the royalty income is recorded. Royalty advances are recorded as earned when such advances represent a nonrefundable guarantee and there are no obligations to perform services. Advance royalty payments are recorded as expense when such advance represents a nonrefundable guarantee. The Company periodically assessed advances as to whether they will be recoverable during the term of the contract. Any portion of advances that appear not to be recoverable from future royalties are charged to expense.
 
Government Taxes
 
Product sales are presented net of sales tax collected and remitted to governmental authorities.
 
Subsidiary Licensing Rights
 
Depending upon the terms of its various licensing agreements, the Company can lease its intellectual property rights to another party. The associated income is recorded as either advances against royalties or royalties. The associated expenses due to the authors, illustrators or licensors are a percentage of such income for use of their text, illustrations, content or imprimaturs.
 
Due to changes in the Company’s business, effective December 31, 2006, royalty revenue is presented as a component of net sales. All periods presented conform with this presentation.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the applicable FASB standard. The standard employs an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of deferred income taxes. Generally, the standard allows for recognition of deferred tax assets in the current period for the future benefit of net operating loss carryforwards and items for which expenses have been recognized for financial statement purposes but will be deductible for tax purposes in future periods. A valuation allowance is recognized, if on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
In December 2004, a FASB standard was issued that requires public companies to recognize compensation expense for the cost of awards of equity compensation effective for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2005.
 
This compensation cost will be measured as the fair value of the award estimated using an option-pricing model on the grant date. The provisions of the standard were effective for the Company on April 1, 2006. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements since the Company has no outstanding stock options.
 
The Company periodically issues shares of its common stock to employees as grants. Shares issued for services are valued either at the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the common stock at the date of issuance or based on the market price at the date of issuance.
 
Income/Loss Per Share Computation
 
Income/loss per share is computed in accordance with the applicable FASB standard. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of employee stock options using the treasury method and dilutive convertible securities, if any, using the if-converted method. There were no dilutive securities for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, except for catalogs and brochures which are all amortized over the period benefited not to exceed twelve months from the publication date. The Company provides cooperative advertising allowances to certain customers. These allowances are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Emerging Task Force Statement.
 
Advertising expense related to catalogs and brochures was $190,826 and $141,411 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Other advertising expense was $21,087 and $43,723 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
In February of 2007 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a pronouncement of fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, The standa rd established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows.
 
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
   
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The Company had no instruments in which the standard was applied to as of March 31, 2010.

Recently Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC 350-10, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” ASC 350-10 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350-10, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” ASC No. 350-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805-10, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised December 2007), Business Combinations”. ASC 805-10 addresses application issues raised by preparers, auditors and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805-10 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. ASC 805-10 will have an impact on our accounting for any potential future acquisitions.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management. ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively. Because ASC Topic 855 impacts the disclosure requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financ ial condition.

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (ASU 2009-05). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical l iability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout these financials have been updated for the Codification.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an as set may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not impact our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, or ASU 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning in fiscal years on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements, if any.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a: subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“2010-06”). 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, which updates the guidance in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, such that companies that file with the SEC will no longer will be required to indicate the date through which they have analyzed subsequent events. This updated guidance became effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted within the year ended March 31, 2010 financial statements.
 
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” (“ASU 2010-11”). ASU 2010-11 clarifies the only form of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements is one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in this ASU are effective at the beginning of a reporting entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after March 5, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-11 is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17, or ASU 2010-17, which provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development arrangements that contain payment provisions contingent upon achieving specified events. ASU 2010-17 is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements, if any.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles
 
The Company tests its non-amortized intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, or between annual tests if it is determined that a significant event or change in circumstances warrant such testing. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the fair value of the reporting unit in this comparison. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value of the goodwill, an adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill is required.
 
Intangible Assets related to Music for Little People are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range between five and ten years and are based on the terms of the agreements in place.
 
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
 
The Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling and related costs incurred for shipping and handling as components of “Product revenues” and “Cost of product revenues” respectively.
 
Going Concern
 
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a deficiency in net assets. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to explore alternative financing options other than those from its principal shareholder in the event that cash flow does not materialize in line with current expectations. If additional funding options were not to materialize, the Company would be forced to explore other options including bankruptcy.
 
Our Board of Directors has authorized the dissolution of our Company under Delaware law, the delisting of our Common Stock from trading through the facilities of the pink sheets, the deregistration of our Common Stock with the SEC and liquidation, all as soon as practicable after the closing of the asset sale, provided that our Company’s management has not determined an economically viable alternative to dissolution. The principal alternative to dissolution would entail the sale of the corporate shell. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, it is highly unlikely that stockholders will receive any distribution whatsoever. In the event of the sale of the corporate shell, it is possible that the Company could receive some form of consideration so that the shareholders could receive a distribution after payment of our Company&# 8217;s expenses and repayment of the Seller Contingent Note. Our management considers a distribution unlikely; the Company can provide no assurances that it will be successful in the sale of the shell; and shareholders must not assume any benefit would result to them or distribution would be made.

2. Discontinued Operations
 
a. Assets Held for Sale
 
Sale of the Company’s Assets and Assumption of Certain Liabilities
 
Trudy Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Company’) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 18, 2009, whereby the Company would sell substantially all of its assets to MMAC, LLC (“MMAC”), which also would assume certain liabilities of the Company (with the exception of approximately $2.7 million of debt owed to William W. Burnham, a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Company).
 
Under the terms of the original Asset Purchase Agreement, Trudy would receive a note in the principal amount of $225,000 from MMAC (the “Buyer Note”) and an equity interest in MMAC, not to exceed 33%, determined in accordance with the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company at Closing. The note and equity would be transferred to Mr. Burnham in consideration of his release of the debt in the amount of $2.7 million with the exception of up to $50,000 of debt owed to Mr. Burnham (the “Seller Contingent Note”) which will remain outstanding and which will be repaid to Mr. Burnham one year following the closing if and to the extent Trudy has not spent the $50,000 of cash it will retain at the closing for general corporate purposes.
 
Holders of the Company’s common stock will not receive any payment or distribution with respect to their shares pursuant to the sale of substantially all the assets to MMAC or the possible dissolution of the Company or possible sale of the corporate shell, all described below.
 
It was a condition of Closing that such NAV be not less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000). The Company has entered into an Amendment No. 1, dated June 15, 2010, to its Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Amendment, the condition of Closing requiring that NAV be not less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000) has been amended to provide that the NAV be not less than (-$442,000), taking into account any adjustment resulting from accounting credits and any cash payment by Mr. Burnham to the Company referred to below.
 
In addition, if the NAV is greater than negative $442,000 (-$442,000), but is equal to or less than negative $200,000 (-$200,000), the Buyer Note would be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between negative $100,000 (-$100,000) and the NAV. In connection with the reduction of the Buyer Note, Mr. Burnham would receive a number of Common Units, determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement of MMAC.
 
In the event that the NAV is equal to or less than negative $442,000 (-$442,000), the Buyer Note would be reduced to zero. Certain accounting credits for the Company for returnable sales and inventory obsolescence, subject to a $100,000 cap, could be used to offset up to 50% of the amount by which  the NAV is than negative $442,000 (-$442,000). After taking into account such accounting credits, if available, Mr. Burnham would be required to make up the difference between the NAV (plus such accounting credits) and negative $442,000 (-$442,000) by a cash payment to the Company at Closing. Mr. Burnham would receive a number of Common Units in respect of such cash payment, determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement of MMAC.
 
As previously announced, at Closing, MMAC will assume loans made to the Company by an affiliate of MMAC. The aggregate amount of principal so loaned is currently $545,000.
 
MMAC will also enter into a new four year lease with Noreast Management, LLC, a company that is 91% owned by Mr. Burnham, for the Company’s current headquarters on substantially the same terms as the current lease with Trudy, except that MMAC may terminate the lease on six months’ prior written notice.
 
 
Page 38 of 56

 
 
Ashley Andersen Zantop, CEO and President of the Company, Fell Herdeg, CFO, and Mr. Burnham will be retained as employees by MMAC on substantially the same terms as their current employment with the Company. Mr. Burnham and Ms. Andersen Zantop will join the Board of Directors of MMAC.
 
The Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, and the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by an Independent Committee of outside Directors of the Company, by the Board of Directors of the Company and by written consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
Furthermore, our Board of Directors has authorized the dissolution of our Company under Delaware law, the delisting of our Common Stock from trading through the facilities of the pink sheets, the deregistration of our Common Stock with the SEC and liquidation, all as soon as practicable after the closing of the asset sale, provided that our Company’s management has not determined an economically viable alternative to dissolution. The principal alternative to dissolution would entail the sale of the corporate shell. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, it is highly unlikely that stockholders will receive any distribution whatsoever. In the event of the sale of the corporate shell, it is possible that the Company could receive some form of consideration so that the shareholders could receive a distribution after payment of our Company’s expenses and repayment of the Seller Contingent Note. Our management considers a distribution unlikely; the Company can provide no assurances that it will be successful in the sale of the shell; and shareholders must not assume any benefit would result to them or distribution would be made.
 
The closing of the sale of assets and assumption of liabilities is subject to compliance with U.S. securities laws, including the clearance with the Securities and Exchange Commission of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C and a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, both of which will be mailed to all of the Company’s shareholders for their information, as well as other closing conditions. A Closing is expected in August 2010.

As mentioned above, books are also purchased from a U.S. broker, which subcontracts production to various printers in Asia. These manufacturers can also perform certain other functions such as the labeling and packaging of product for volume shipments directly to specific customers. Audio cassettes are duplicated locally in the United States and CDs are primarily duplicated in China although domestic duplication is available. The Company believes that production could quickly be transferred to other vendors in China or other countries if production were not available from its current vendors or if more favorable pricing became available elsewhere.
 
l. Related Party Transactions
 
The Company is involved in several transactions with existing officers and shareholders of the Company and entities, which are controlled by these individuals, collectively “related parties”. The following is a summary of this activity:
 
The Main Avenue property leased by the Company is owned by a Connecticut limited liability company, Noreast Management LLC, which is owned jointly by William W. Burnham, the Chairman of the Company, Peter Ogilvie, a former Director and Officer of the Company, and Fred M. Filoon, a Director of the Company.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company has borrowings from related parties of $2,680,701. Interest to related parties totaled $150,021 and $67,686 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Repayments to related parties totaled $38,990 and $64,024 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
The Company recorded $105,669 in imputed interest on loans from a principal shareholder and officer that were provided with interest rates that were below prevailing market rates for part of the year.
 
Accrued guarantor fees for Mr. Burnham for the year ended March 31, 2010 were $9,270.
 
m. Income Taxes
 
The components of income tax (benefit) are as follows:
 
   
2010
 
Net operating loss carryforward from prior years
    5,259,706  
Operating loss for current year
    1,093,368  
Total net operating loss carryforward
    6,353,074  
Effective tax rate applied
    35 %
Gross deferred tax asset
    2,223,576  
Valuation allowance
    (2,223,576 )
Net deferred tax asset
     
 
The deferred tax asset represents expected future tax savings resulting from the Company’s reserves and allowances expensed for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes and net operating loss carryforwards. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward in excess of $6.0 million for federal income tax purposes which expire at various dates through 2027. Utilization of these benefits is primarily subject to the extent of future earnings of the Company, and may be limited by, among other things, shareholder changes, including the possible issuance by the Company of additional shares in one or more financing transactions. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the portion of possible tax savings not likely to be realized by the end of the carryforward period.
 
The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2010.
 
n. Stock-Based Compensation
 
On July 14, 2005 the Board of Directors voted to set aside 30,000,000 shares of common stock to be used as a pool from which management may recommend to the board stock grants for certain employees and Directors. While stock rewarded to employees or Directors requires the approval of the Board, such stock reward recommendations are made at Management’s sole discretion. As of March 31, 2010, 11,000,000 shares have been awarded to employees and Directors.
 
During fiscal year 2010 the Company did not grant any shares to employees or Directors.
 
 
Page 45 of 56

 
 
During fiscal 2009 the Company granted an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares to certain employees and Directors for their respective services rendered to the Company. The shares were valued at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the dates of issuance. The value of these grants was $11,200.
 
On March 7, 2008 the Company purchased certain assets from the children’s audio publisher, Musical Kidz LLC. Consideration for the transaction included $200,000 in the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock. $100,000 in authorized but unissued Trudy Common Stock, resulted in an issuance of 25,641,026 shares of the Company common stock on March 7, 2008. The additional $100,000 in common stock was issued on March 7, 2009 and resulted in an issuance of 55,555,556 shares of the Company common stock.
 
o. Benefit Plan
 
The Company has adopted a 401(k) Retirement Plan, which is available to substantially all employees of the Company that have completed one year of service. The plan permits participants to contribute to the plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code restrictions, and the plan directs the Company to make matching contributions of 50 percent of total employee contributions up to a maximum of 3 percent of the individual employee salary. The Company made approximately $18,150 and $28,733 in matching contributions to the Plan in 2010, and 2009, respectively. Matching contributions increased as a result of increased plan participation and an increase in individual contributions.
 
During fiscal 2009 the Company granted an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares to certain employees and Directors for their respective services rendered to the Company. The shares were valued at either $0.003/share or the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board on November 11, 2008. The value of these grants was $11,200.

Total minimum lease payments
  $ 114,346     $ 20,400  
 
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight line basis over the life of the lease. Rent expense totaled $95,700 and $116,998 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
(b) Royalties
 
The Company has executed multi-year licensing deals with Disney Licensed Publishing and the Smithsonian Institution. Each license requires royalties to be paid on a quarterly basis based on recorded sales.
 
(c) Contingencies
 
The Company is occasionally subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. In the opinion of Management, these claims in the aggregate do not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or its business operations.
 
18. Subsequent Events
 
Subsequent to fiscal year end the Company borrowed an additional $126,000 from an affiliate of the Company.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the Company’s critical disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2009. Management updated that evaluation as of March 31, 2010 and identified the following weaknesses:
 
 
(i)
As of March 31, 2010, the Company does not have adequate office and financial staffing in place to effectively control the level of transaction activity and consistently address the complex accounting matters that arise.
 
(ii)
A principal shareholder and Director of the Company who is involved in certain functions of the daily operations of the Company, could in theory override normal operating procedures.
 
(iii)
The Company currently does not have an Audit Committee.
 
Given the above identified matters, Management believes that disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. Further, even with proper oversight and controls, Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will necessarily prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant would be detected.
 
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls. Based on our evaluation, Management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2010 with certain deficiencies noted previously.
 
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
The Company’s existing internal controls over financial reporting rely upon certain minimum staffing levels which were not maintained in the year ended March 31, 2010 or subsequent to year end.
