GRAND TOYS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Grand Toys International, Inc., a Nasdaq SmallCap listed Company, is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada. Its principal business activity, through its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, is the distribution of toys and related items.
These consolidated financial statements, presented in US dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Sales are recognized at the time of shipment of products. The Company estimates liabilities and records provisions for customer allowances as a reduction of revenue, when such revenue is recognized.
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first in, first out method, and net realizable value. The only significant class of inventory is finished goods.
Prepaid expenses primarily include insurance, advances on inventory purchases and current portion of royalties and product development costs.
Prepaid royalties relate to licensing agreements for character properties. These licensing agreements can extend up to three years. Total expense for the period ended March 31, 2003 was $69,895 (2002 - $49,822) and it is shown as royalty expense in the Statements of Operations.
Prepaid royalties are capitalized and written off over the term of the related agreements.
Product development costs for proprietary product lines are capitalized and written off over a period of twenty-four months, the estimated life of a new product. If a product is abandoned, the related costs are written off immediately.

GRAND TOYS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Significant accounting policies (continued):
The Company accounts for its employee stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and requires pro-forma net earnings and pro-forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in FASB Statement No. 123 had been applied. This disclosure is included in the notes to these statements.
Comprehensive income consists of net income and cumulative currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The loan receivable is due from Limited Treasures Inc. ("Limited Treasures"). The loan is secured by accounts receivable and inventory and personal guarantees of the shareholders of Limited Treasures.
In June 2001, the Company was successful in obtaining judgment against Limited Treasures for $775,000 repayable over 42 months commencing June 2001, ending May 2005. Interest is charged at a rate of 9% per annum.

.Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
From time to time the Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to minimize its foreign currency exposure on purchases. The contracts oblige the Company to buy US dollars in the future at predetermined exchange rates. The contracts are not used for trading purposes. The Company's policy is to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts on a portion of its purchases anticipated in the next selling season. Gains and losses on forward exchange contracts are recorded in income and generally offset transaction gains or losses on the foreign
At March 31, 2003, the Company had no contracts to purchase US dollars.
Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time, using available information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision.
The fair value of the Company's accounts receivable, due from affiliated companies, bank indebtedness, trade and other payables approximate their carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
For the period ended March 31, 2003, approximately 61% (December 2002 - 69%; 2001 - 67%) of the Company's sales were made to five unrelated companies. Three customers representing approximately 52% (December 2002 - 60%; 2001 - 57%) of total sales, individually accounted for 7% or more (2002 - 10%; 2001 - 10%) of total sales. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk exposure to these and other customers and takes steps to mitigate the risk of loss.
The company's principal exposure to interest rate risk is with respect to its short-term financing which bears interest at a floating rate.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis:
The following should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in this 10-Q and the December 31, 2002 Annual Report.
Overview
Forward-looking statements
.This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about events and circumstances that have not yet occurred. For example, statements including terms such as the Company "expects" or "anticipates" are forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that the Company's actual results may differ materially from the Company's expressed expectations because of risks and uncertainties about the future. The Company will not necessarily update the information in this Form 10-Q if and when any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company's future results and performance include, but are not limited to, the following: intense competition and pricing pressures in the toy industry; the general consolidation in the toy industry; whether the Company's general strategy with respect to the toy industry and the Company's implementation of that strategy will correctly anticipate key trends in the toy industry; the Company's ability to retain its product lines; the Company's relationships with retailers and other issues with respect to the Company's distribution channels. Additional information about factors that could affect future results and events is included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in the Company's fiscal 2002 Form 10-K and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, and 2001, the Company recognized that it had certain issues which raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The reasons cited were the Company's recurring losses. This was noted in KPMG's audit report on those financial statements. In 2002, the Company increased its credit facility, reduced its losses, and implemented a restructuring plan to return to profitability.
As part of its restructuring plan, the Company has significantly reduced its operating costs, by closing one of its Canadian locations, sub-letting a portion of the Company's main facility and consolidating its U.S. operations into the Canadian subsidiary. In addition, the Company continues to add profitable new product lines, and focuses on strong retail sell-through. At this time, based on 2003 forecasts, the current credit facility appears to be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital needs. For the first quarter of 2003, the Company is reporting a profit as a result of the implementation of its restructuring efforts.
Net sales consist of sales of products to customers after deduction of customer cash discounts, freight and warehouse allowances, and volume rebate allowances. Sales are recorded when the merchandise is shipped.
The cost of goods sold for products imported as finished goods includes the cost of the product in the appropriate domestic currency, duty and other taxes, and freight and brokerage charges. Royalties to Grand Canada suppliers not contingent upon the subsequent sales of the suppliers' products are included in the price paid for such products.
Major components of selling, general and administrative expenses include: payroll and fringe benefits; advertising expense, which includes the cost of production of television commercials and the cost of air time; advertising allowances paid to customers for cooperative advertising programs; and royalty expense. Royalties include payments by Grand Canada to licensors of character properties and to manufacturers of toy products if such payments are contingent upon subsequent sales of the products. Royalties are usually a percentage of the price at which the product is sold and are payable once a sale is made.
The pricing of the Company's goods is affected by the price it obtains from its vendors (Cost of Goods Sold) and therefore dictates the selling price the Company can charge its customers. Other factors that influence the Company's setting of the selling price is the condition of the current market and the nature of the item itself.
From a selling, general and administrative aspect, the pricing will impact selling (commission expense) and general and administrative (advertising expense). In addition, if a lower selling price is set then the related margin on the product will be reduced and therefore the Company will look to rationalize other expenses, i.e. customer packages.
Accounts receivable are receivables net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is adjusted periodically to reflect the current status of receivables. Management believes that current reserves for doubtful accounts are adequate. Sales of products to retailers and distributors are on an irrevocable basis. Consistent with industry practices, Grand Canada may make exceptions to this policy on a case-by-case negotiated basis. Inventory is comprised of finished goods at landed cost.
On a quarterly basis management reviews its inventory of products and makes an assessment of its realizable value. The factors considered include current market prices, the demand for and the seasonality of its products. If circumstances change (i.e. unexpected shift in market demand, pricing, trends etc.) there could be a material impact on the net realizable value of inventory.
All amounts are in US Dollars ($) unless otherwise noted.

GRAND TOYS INTERNATIONAL, INC
.
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2003 to the three months ended March 31, 2002:
Net Earnings:
Net earnings for the first quarter of 2003 were $453,082, or $0.16 per share, as compared to a net loss of $570,464, or $0.42 per share, for the first quarter of 2002.
Net earnings increased by $1,023,546 as a result of increases in net sales, gross margins, reduction in expenses and the recognition of a gain on discontinued operations. Without this gain, the Company would have net earnings of $350,080 or $0.13 per share.
Net Sales:
Net sales increased for the first three months of 2003 by $688,289, or by 30.42%, to $2,951,095 from $2,262, 806 for the first quarter of 2002. During the quarter, gross profit also increased as a result of the Company's emphasis on profitable sales and tighter inventory control, from 36.13% in 2002 to 42.75% in 2003, a 6.62% increase.
The increase in the current quarter is due to the AstroJax, Spider-Man, Hulk, and Marvel Legends product lines.
Gross Profit:
Gross profit for the Company increased during the first three months of 2003 by $444,042 compared to the prior quarter. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased from 36.13% in the first quarter of 2002 to 42.75% in the first quarter of 2003.
Gross profit increased as a result of the sales and product mix in the first quarter 2003, which is primarily due to the addition of higher margin product lines. The Company's continued emphasis on higher margin sales and minimized sales of discontinued products by tighter inventory control further contributed to this increase in gross margins.
General and Administrative Expenses:
The decrease of 27% in general and administrative expenses of $208,862 to $572,856, in the first quarter of 2003, from $781,718 in the first quarter, of 2002, was due to an overall decrease in overhead accounts as a result of the restructuring plan implemented in 2002.
Expense reductions were realized in overhead expenses as a result of the closure of the Company's two locations in 2002. Travel and entertainment expenses were reduced as a result of head count reductions.
Salaries and Fringe benefits:
As result of the restructuring plan in 2002, salaries and fringe benefits expenses were reduced by 34%, from $447,744 for March 31, 2002 to $294,702 for the current period.
The reduction is due to the reduction of head count as a result of the closing of the Company's two locations.
Foreign Exchange (gain) loss:
As a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar in the first quarter of 2003, the Company reported a gain of $59,144 as compared to a loss of $14,984 in the first quarter of 2002.
Gain on Discontinued Operation:
On June 14, 2002, the Company sold all of the shares of its Sababa Toys, Inc. subsidiary. Sababa Toys, Inc. distributes proprietary products and develops product concepts to be sold to third parties. In consideration for the purchase of the shares, the Company received a note in the principal amount of $1,065,716. Payments under the note are to be made quarterly until June 30, 2005 when the unpaid principal balance is due.
As of June 14, 2002 the Company recognized a gain on the sale of $761,584. As of December 31, 2002, $263,784 was recorded in the Statement of Operations. For the first quarter 2003, the Company recorded a gain of $103,002. The balance of the gain has been deferred and will be recorded in income on a proportionate basis as the proceeds from the note receivable are received.
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2002 to the three month ended March 31, 2001
Net Loss:
Net loss for the first quarter 2002 was $570,464 or $0.42 per share as compared to a net loss of $585,117 or $0.72 per share for the first quarter of 2001.
Despite the increases in net sales and gross profit, net loss improved marginally by 4.12% as a percentage of sales over the same quarter of last year. An increase in total operating expenses offset the increased gross profit.
Net Sales:
Net sales increased for the first three months of 2002 by $344,869 or by 15.56% to $2,561,685 from $2,216,816 for the first quarter of 2001. During the quarter, gross profit also increased as a result of the Company's emphasis on profitable sales and tighter inventory control.
The increase in the current quarter is due to the Spider-Man, Lord of the Rings, Disney/Universal product lines and Uno product lines.
Spider-Man the evergreen, perennially popular line of action adventure figures from the classic comic book hero has been dramatically enhanced by the release of Spider-Man the movie and additional lines of product based on the movie characters.
Similarly, Lord of the Rings action figure toys based on the characters for the wildly successful movie adaptation of J.R. Tolkien's classic novel line captured the imagination of children.
The line of Disney/Universal records and audiotapes is a new distribution opportunity acquired early in January 2002.
Uno specialty game product line, produced by our Sababa subsidiary, is a new introduction generated from the recently acquired Mattel license for these products.
Gross Profit:
Gross profit for the Company increased during the first three months of 2002 by $279,640 compared to the prior period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased from 31.68% in the first quarter of 2001 to 38.33% in the first quarter of 2002. Gross profit increased as a result of the sales and product mix in the first quarter 2002. In addition the increased gross profit in the first quarter of 2002 resulted from the Company's continued emphasis on higher margin sales and minimized sales of discontinued products by tighter inventory control.
General and Administrative Expenses:
The increase in general and administrative expenses of $148,872 to $781,718 in the first quarter of 2002, from $632,846 in the first quarter, of 2001, was due to an increase in advertising and co-operative advertising, royalty and insurance expenses.
Other material expenses in the quarter were:
Bank financing |
$ 71,103 |
Legal expenses |
52,173 |
Consulting |
11,051 |
$ 134,327 |
Of the above expenses, $48,051 are of a non-recurring nature.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, were higher in 2002, a 2.91% increase, as compared to 2001. The Company continues to conduct reviews of all aspects of its operations to reduce costs and improve profitability.
Interest Expense:
During the quarter the Company incurred interest on the following:
Legal settlement |
$ 15,317 |
Financing interest |
9,501 |
$ 24,818 |
The legal settlement interest is of a non-recurring nature.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generally finances its operations through borrowings under its line of credit facility with Montcap Financial Inc., and by cash flow from operations. In the past, it has also supplemented those sources through the sales of equity securities.
In May 2002, the Company increased the maximum availability under its lines of credit to $2,218,560 from $1,569,563.
Accounts receivable at March 31, 2003 were $2,024,401 compared to $1,866,110 at December 31, 2002. The sales were mainly to mass retailers. Inventory at March 31, 2003 increased to $1,767,628 from $1,148,220 at December 31, 2002.
Working capital increased from $1,577,633 at December 31, 2002 to $2,288,118 at March 31, 2003. Net cash used for operating activities was $318,926 in 2003 compared to net cash used for operating activities of $674,363 in 2002. Cash for additions to equipment and leasehold improvements was $530 in 2003 compared to $11,081 for 2002.
The Company's accounts receivable level is subject to significant seasonal variations due to the seasonality of sales. As a result, the Company's working capital requirements are greatest during its third and fourth quarters. In addition, to the extent accounts receivable, inventories, guarantees and advance payments increase as a result of growth of the Company's business, the Company could require additional working capital to fund its operations.
If the funds available to the Company for current cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs, the Company may from time to time seek to raise capital from additional sources, including project-specific financing, additional public or private debt or equity financing.
Based on 2003 forecasts, the current credit facility appears to be sufficient to meet the Company's financial needs.
The Company believes that in order to achieve its long-term expansion objectives and to enhance its competitive position in the U.S. market, it will need additional financial resources over the next several years. The precise amount and timing of the Company's future financing needs cannot be determined at this time and will depend upon a number of factors, including the demand for its products and the management of its working capital. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital, it could be required to curtail our expansion.
Effects Of Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations in the past three years
.New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has determined that the new pronouncements effective in the year 2003 will not have an impact on the financial statements.
GRAND TOYS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to certain market risks, which arise from transactions entered into the normal course of business. The Company's primary exposures are changes in interest rates with respect to its debt and foreign currency exchange fluctuations.
INTEREST RATE RISK The interest payable on the Company's revolving lines-of-credit are variable based on the prime rate, and therefore, affected by changes in market interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK While the Company's product purchases are transacted in United States dollars; most transactions among the suppliers and subcontractors are effected in Hong Kong dollars, where most of the Companies' products are manufactured. Accordingly, fluctuations in Hong Kong monetary rates may have an impact on the Company's cost of goods. Furthermore, appreciation of Chinese currency values relative to the Hong Kong dollar could increase the cost to the Company of the products manufactured in the People's Republic of China, and thereby have a negative impact on the Company. As well since the majority of the Company's sales are in Canadian dollars, the Company is at risk with regards to the conversion of Canadian dollars to US dollars to pay its suppliers. Therefore, fluctuations in conversion rates may have an impact on the Company. The Company may use derivative financial instruments solely to hedge the effects of such currenc y fluctuations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.
Subsequent to the date of that evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, nor were any corrective actions required with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
.Part II: Other Information
Item 1. Legal proceedings
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, there were no other material developments to any legal proceedings which have been previously reported by the Company.
Other than discussed above or in Note 16 to the Company's December 31, 2002 Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is not a party to, nor is it aware of, any other pending litigation of a material nature.
