Items in Form 10-K

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, and assumptions and predictions about future product demand, supply, manufacturing, costs, marketing and pricing factors are all forward-looking statements. When we use words like “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan” or “expect,” we are making forward-looking statements. We believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, based on information available to us on the date hereof, but we cannot assure you that these assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct or that we will take any action that we may presently be planning. We have disclosed certain important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations elsewhere in this report. You should understand that forward-looking statements made in this report are necessarily qualified by these factors. We are not undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement if we obtain new information or upon the occurrence of future events or otherwise.

Item 1. Business

      In this report, “JAKKS,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Company Overview

      We are a leading multi-line, multi-brand toy company that designs, produces and markets toys and related products, writing instruments and related products, pet toys, treats and related products and consumer products. We focus our business on acquiring or licensing well-recognized trademarks and brand names with long product histories (“evergreen brands”). We seek to acquire these evergreen brands because we believe they are less subject to market fads or trends. Our products are typically lower-priced toys and accessories and include:

Traditional Toys

Craft, Activity and Writing Products

Seasonal Products

Pet Products

      Pet products, including toys, treats, beds, clothing and accessories. Licenses used in conjunction with these products include American Kennel Club^® and The Cat Fanciers’ Association^tm brands, among others.

      We continually review the marketplace to identify and evaluate evergreen brands that we believe have the potential for significant growth. We endeavor to generate growth within these brands by:

      In addition to developing our proprietary brands and marks, we license brands such as WWE, Nickelodeon^®, Dora the Explorer^®, Blue’s Clues^®, SpongeBob SquarePants^® and Mickey Mouse^®. Licensing enables us to use these high-profile marks at a lower cost than we would incur if we purchased these marks or developed comparable marks on our own. By licensing marks, we have access to a far greater range of marks than would be available for purchase. We also license technology produced by unaffiliated inventors and product developers to improve the design and functionality of our products.

      We have obtained an exclusive worldwide license for our joint venture with THQ Inc. (“THQ”), which develops, produces, manufactures and markets video games based on WWE characters and themes. Since the joint venture’s first title release in 1999, it has released 26 new titles. We have recognized approximately $58.9 million in profit from the joint venture through December 31, 2005. In October 2004, we were named as defendants in a lawsuit commenced by WWE, pursuant to which WWE is seeking treble, punitive and other damages (including disgorgement of profits) in an undisclosed amount and a declaration that the video game license with the joint venture and an amendment to our toy licenses with WWE are void and unenforceable (see “Legal Proceedings”).

      Many of our current products are relatively inexpensive. In 2005, approximately 70% of our revenue came from products priced at twenty dollars or less at retail. We believe that these products have enduring appeal and are less subject to general economic conditions, toy product fads and trends, and changes in retail distribution channels. In addition, the simplicity of these products enables us to choose among a wider range of manufacturers and affords us greater flexibility in product design, pricing and marketing. Our product development process typically takes from three to nine months from concept to production and shipment to our customers. We believe that many licensors and retailers recognize and reward our ability to bring product to market faster and more efficiently than many of our competitors.

      We sell our products through our in-house sales staff and independent sales representatives to toy and mass-market retail chain stores, department stores, office supply stores, drug and grocery store chains, club stores, toy specialty stores and wholesalers. Our three largest customers are Wal-Mart, Target and Toys ‘R’ Us, which collectively accounted for approximately 59.1% of our net sales in 2005. No other customer accounted for more than 10.0% of our net sales in 2005.

Our Growth Strategy

      The execution of our growth strategy has resulted in increased revenues and earnings. In 2004 and 2005, we generated net sales of $574.3 million and $661.5 million, respectively, and net income of $43.6 million and $63.5 million, respectively. Approximately 29.4% and 10.1% of our

increased net sales in 2004 and 2005, respectively, were attributable to our acquisitions since 2003. Key elements of our growth strategy include:

      • Expand Core Products. We manage our existing and new brands through strong product development initiatives, including introducing new products, modifying existing products and extending existing product lines. Our product designers strive to develop new products or product lines to offer added technological, aesthetic and functional improvements to our product lines. We use real-scan technology in our action toys, and we incorporate articulated joints and a flexible rubberized coating to enhance the life-like feel of these action toys. These innovations produce higher quality and better likenesses of the representative characters.

      • Enter New Product Categories. We will continue to use our extensive experience in the toy and other consumer product industries to evaluate products and licenses in new product categories and to develop additional product lines. We began marketing licensed classic video games for simple plug-in use with television sets and expanded into slumber bags through the licensing of this category from our current licensors, such as Nickelodeon.

      • Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We intend to supplement our internal growth with selected strategic acquisitions. Since our inception in 1995, we have successfully completed and integrated fourteen acquisitions of companies, product lines and trademarks. Most recently, in June 2005, we acquired the assets of Pet Pal Corp. which expanded our offerings and distribution into pet toy, treats and related products, and in February 2006, we acquired the assets of Creative Designs International, Ltd., a leading manufacturer of girls’ dress-up and role-play toys, and a related Hong Kong company. We will continue focusing our acquisition strategy on businesses or brands that have compatible product lines and offer valuable trademarks or brands.

      • Acquire Additional Character and Product Licenses. We have acquired the rights to use many familiar corporate, trade and brand names and logos from third parties that we use with our primary trademarks and brands. Currently, we have license agreements with the WWE, Nickelodeon, Disney^®, and Warner Bros.^®, as well as with the licensors of the many popular licensed children’s characters previously mentioned, among others. We intend to continue to pursue new licenses from these entertainment and media companies and other licensors. We also intend to continue to purchase additional inventions and product concepts through our existing network of product developers.

      • Expand International Sales. We believe that foreign markets, especially Europe, Australia, Canada, Latin America and Asia, offer us significant growth opportunities. In 2005, our sales generated outside the United States were approximately $99.1 million, or 15.0% of total net sales. We intend to continue to expand our international sales by capitalizing on our experience and our relationships with foreign distributors and retailers. We expect these initiatives to continue to contribute to our international growth in 2006.

      • Capitalize On Our Operating Efficiencies. We believe that our current infrastructure and low-overhead operating model can accommodate significant growth without a proportionate increase in our operating and administrative expenses, thereby increasing our operating margins.

      The execution of our growth strategy, however, is subject to several risks and uncertainties and we cannot assure you that we will continue to experience growth in, or maintain our present level of, net sales (see “— Risk Factors,” beginning on page 13). For example, our growth strategy will place additional demands on our management, operational capacity and financial resources and systems. The increased demand on management may necessitate our recruitment and retention of qualified management personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recruit and retain qualified personnel or expand and manage our operations effectively and profitably. To effectively

manage future growth, we must continue to expand our operational, financial and management information systems and to train, motivate and manage our work force. There can be no assurance that our operational, financial and management information systems will be adequate to support our future operations. Failure to expand our operational, financial and management information systems or to train, motivate or manage employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      Moreover, implementation of our growth strategy is subject to risks beyond our control, including competition, market acceptance of new products, changes in economic conditions, our ability to obtain or renew licenses on commercially reasonable terms and our ability to finance increased levels of accounts receivable and inventory necessary to support our sales growth, if any.

      Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we can identify attractive acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable acquisition terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to sustain growth.

      Finally, our acquisition strategy involves a number of risks, each of which could adversely affect our operating results, including difficulties in integrating acquired businesses or product lines, assimilating new facilities and personnel and harmonizing diverse business strategies and methods of operation; diversion of management attention from operation of our existing business; loss of key personnel from acquired companies; and failure of an acquired business to achieve targeted financial results.

Industry Overview

      According to Toy Industry Association, Inc., the leading toy industry trade group, the United States is the world’s largest toy market, followed by Japan and Western Europe. Total retail sales of toys, excluding video games, in the United States, were approximately $21.3 billion in 2005. We believe the two largest United States toy companies, Mattel and Hasbro, collectively hold a dominant share of the domestic non-video toy market. In addition, hundreds of smaller companies compete in the design and development of new toys, the procurement of character and product licenses, and the improvement and expansion of previously introduced products and product lines. In the United States video game segment, total retail sales of video game software were approximately $10.5 billion in 2005.

      Over the past few years, the toy industry has experienced substantial consolidation among both toy companies and toy retailers. We believe that the ongoing consolidation of toy companies provides us with increased growth opportunities due to retailers’ desire to not be entirely dependent on a few dominant toy companies. Retailer concentration also enables us to ship products, manage account relationships and track retail sales more effectively and efficiently.

Products

      We focus our business on acquiring or licensing well-recognized trademarks or brand names, and we seek to acquire evergreen brands which are less subject to market fads or trends. Generally,

our license agreements for products and concepts call for royalties ranging from 1% to 12% of net sales, and some may require minimum guarantees and advances. Our principal products include:

Traditional Toys

Electronics Products

      Our electronic products category includes our Plug it in & Play TV Games and Laser Challenge product line. Our current TV Games^tm titles include licenses from Namco^®, Disney and Nickelodeon, and feature such games as Dora The Explorer^®, Disney Princesses^®, Ms. Pac-Man^® and Pac-Man^®.

      In 2004, we released twelve new TV Games^tm titles including Ms. Pac-Man^®, Spider-Man^®, Disney and several licensed and non-licensed preschool titles, and we released approximately 21 new TV Games titles in 2005, including Batman^®, Star Wars^® and a wireless version of Ms. Pac-Man. TV Games titles generated a significant amount of net sales in 2004 and 2005 and we expect that level of sales to continue in 2006 with the release of new TV Games titles and the introduction of TeleStory^tm interactive electronic books featuring classic and other well-known stories including Dora The Explorer, Lion King^®, Cinderella^®, and Winnie The Pooh^® and iPets^tm virtual pets games, both of which use our plug-and-play TV technology.

Wheels Division Products

      In 2004, we introduced an internally developed line of toy wheels and play sets called Fly Wheels that feature scale replicas of popular automobile tires and wheels and skateboard wheels. The wheels are launched from a handle with the pull of a zip cord. In 2005, we introduced radio controlled versions in addition to new assortments of the collectible wheels and new play sets.

      Our Remco^® toy line includes toy and activity vehicles and other toys. We also produce infrared radio controlled vehicles and Mighty Mo’s^® toy vehicles. Our toy vehicle line is comprised of a large assortment of rugged die-cast and plastic vehicles that range in size from four and three-quarter inch to big-wheeled seventeen inch vehicles. The breadth of the line is extensive, with themes ranging from emergency, fire, farm and construction, to racing and jungle adventure.

      The Road Champs product line consists of highly detailed, die-cast replicas of new and classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, emergency vehicles and service vehicles, primarily in ¹/43 scale (including police cars, fire trucks and ambulances), buses and aircraft. Through licenses, we produce replicas of well-known vehicles including those from Ford^®, Chevrolet^® and Porsche^®. We believe that these licenses, increase the perceived value of the products and enhance their marketability.

      Our extreme sports offerings include our MXS^® line of motorcycles with riders, off-road vehicles, personal watercraft, surfboards and skateboards, which are sold individually and with playsets and accessories.

Action Figures and Accessories

      We have an extensive toy license with the WWE pursuant to which we have the exclusive worldwide right, until December 31, 2009, to develop and market a full line of toy products based on

the popular WWE professional wrestlers. These wrestlers perform throughout the year at live events that attract large crowds, many of which are broadcast on free and cable television, including pay-per-view specials. We launched this product line in 1996 with various series of 6 inch articulated action figures that have movable body parts. We continually expand and enhance this product line by using technology in the development and in the products themselves. The 6 inch figures currently make up a substantial portion of our overall WWE line, which has since grown to include many other new products including playsets using interactive technology. Our strategy has been to release new figures and accessories frequently to keep the line fresh and relevant to WWE’s television programming, and to retain the interest of the consumers.

      We also develop, manufacture and distribute action figures and action figure accessories based on the animated series Dragon Ball^®, Dragon Ball Z^® and Dragon Ball GT^®.

Infant and pre-school toys

      Our pre-school toys include Care Bears plush and electronic toys, Teletubbies plush and Cabbage Patch Kids soft body dolls. These products generated a significant amount of net sales in 2004 and 2005, and we expect that level of sales to continue in 2006.

      Our line of pre-school Child Guidance^® electronic toys features products that enhance sensory stimulation and learning through play, while offering value to the trade, as well as to the consumer. We also produce a line of licensed TV activity products featuring Disney and Nickelodeon characters, as well as non-licensed versions.

      Our line of children’s indoor slumber bags features Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants and Blue’s Clues, in addition to our own proprietary designs.

Fashion Dolls

      Fashion and mini dolls and related accessories, includes Disney Princess dolls sold to Disney Stores and Disney Parks and Resorts, and private label fashion dolls for our other retailers.

Craft, Activity and Writing Products

      We entered into the toy activity category with Flying Colors marketing compounds and plastic molded activity cases containing a broad range of activities, such as make and paint your own characters, jewelry making, art studios, posters, puzzles and other projects. The activity cases, with molded and painted likenesses of popular characters, such as Nickelodeon’s Blue’s Clues and SpongeBob SquarePants, have immediate visual appeal and brand recognition. Using a related production technology, our lunch boxes complement this line with similarly-styled molded and painted likenesses featuring these and other popular characters. Our product lines also include stationery, back-to-school and office pens, pencils, markers, notebooks and craft products such as Blopens and Vivid Velvet^® activities. These products are primarily marketed under our Flying Colors and Pentech brands in addition to private label and other brands.

Seasonal Products

Seasonal Products

      We have a wide range of seasonal toys and outdoor and leisure products. Our Go Fly A Kite^® product line includes youth and adult kites and a wide array of decorative flags, windstocks, and windwheels. Our Funnoodle pool toys include the basic funnoodle, pool floats and a variety of other pool toys. Our The Storm product line includes water guns, gliders and sport balls. Another outdoor product is our Fly Wheels Flight, an extension of our popular Fly Wheels vehicle line, incorporating our rip-cord design and patented connector with flying discs and flight-powered foam planes.

Junior Sports Products

      Our junior sports products include Gaksplat and Storm which include a variety of mini sport balls and activity products.

Pet Products

      We entered the Pet Products category with our acquisition of Pet Pal, whose products include pet toys, treats, beds, clothes and related pet products. These products are marketed under JPI and licenses include American Kennel Club, The Cat Fanciers’ Association, Bratz^® and Marvel^®, as well as numerous other entertainment and consumer product properties.

World Wrestling Entertainment Video Games

      In June 1998, we formed a joint venture with THQ, Inc., a developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment software for the leading hardware game platforms in the home video game market. The joint venture entered into a license agreement with the WWE under which it acquired the exclusive worldwide right to publish WWE video games on all hardware platforms. The term of the license agreement expires on December 31, 2009, and the joint venture has a right to renew the license for an additional five years under various conditions. In October 2004, we were named as defendants in a lawsuit commenced by WWE, pursuant to which WWE is seeking treble, punitive and other damages (including disgorgement of profits) in an undisclosed amount and a declaration that the video game license with the joint venture and an amendment to our toy licenses with WWE are void and unenforceable (see “Legal Proceedings”).

      The games are designed, developed, manufactured and distributed by THQ. THQ arranges for the manufacture of the CD-ROMs and game cartridges used in the various video game platforms under non-exclusive licenses with Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. No other licenses are required for the manufacture of the personal computer titles.

      Through June 30, 2006, we are entitled to receive a guaranteed percentage preferred return from the joint venture at varying rates of net sales of the video games depending on the cumulative unit sales and platform of each particular game, as well as on the royalties earned by the joint venture from the publishing of game guides by third parties. THQ is entitled to receive the balance of the profits. After June 30, 2006, the amount of our preferred return from the joint venture will be subject to change (see “Risk Factors”).

      The joint venture currently publishes titles for the Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft consoles, Sony and Nintendo hand-held platforms, mobile/wireless and personal computers. It will also publish titles for new hardware platforms when, and as they are introduced to the market and have established a

sufficient installed base to support new software. These titles are marketed to our existing customers as well as to game, electronics and other specialty stores, such as Electronics Boutique and Best Buy.

      The following table presents our results with the joint venture since its inception:

      Wrestling video games have demonstrated consistent popularity. We believe that the success of WWE titles is dependent on the graphic look and feel of the software, the depth and variation of game play and the popularity of WWE. We believe that as a franchise property, WWE titles have brand recognition and sustainable consumer appeal, which may allow the joint venture to use titles over an extended period of time through the release of sequels and extensions and to re-release such products at different price points in the future.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

      We sell all of our products through our own in-house sales staff and independent sales representatives to toy and mass-market retail chain stores, department stores, office supply stores, drug and grocery store chains, club stores, toy specialty stores and wholesalers. Our three largest customers are Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys ‘R’ Us, which accounted for approximately 58.6% of our net sales in 2004 and 59.1% of our net sales in 2005. With the addition of the Pet Pal product line, we began to distribute pet products to key pet supply retailers Petco and Petsmart in addition to many other pet retailers and our existing customers. Except for purchase orders relating to products on order, we do not have written agreements with our customers. Instead, we generally sell products to our customers pursuant to letters of credit or, in some cases, on open account with payment terms typically varying from 30 to 90 days. From time to time, we allow our customers credits against future purchases from us in order to facilitate their retail markdown and sales of slow-moving inventory. We also sell our products through e-commerce sites, including Toysrus.com.

      We contract the manufacture of most of our products to unaffiliated manufacturers located in China. We sell the finished products on a letter of credit basis or on open account to our customers, who take title to the goods in Hong Kong or China. These methods allow us to reduce certain operating costs and working capital requirements. A portion of our sales originate in the United States, so we hold certain inventory in our warehouse and fulfillment facilities. To date, a significant portion of all of our sales has been to domestic customers. We intend to continue expanding distribution of our products into foreign territories and, accordingly, we have:

      Outside of the United States, we currently sell our products primarily in Europe, Australia, Canada, Latin America and Asia. Sales of our products abroad accounted for approximately $68.5 million, or 11.9% of our net sales, in 2004 and approximately $99.1 million, or 15.0% of our net sales, in 2005. We believe that foreign markets present an attractive opportunity, and we plan to intensify our marketing efforts and further expand our distribution channels abroad.

      We establish reserves for sales allowances, including promotional allowances and allowances for anticipated defective product returns, at the time of shipment. The reserves are determined as a percentage of net sales based upon either historical experience or on estimates or programs agreed upon by our customers and us.

      We obtain, directly, or through our sales representatives, orders for our products from our customers and arrange for the manufacture of these products as discussed below. Cancellations generally are made in writing, and we take appropriate steps to notify our manufacturers of these cancellations. We may incur costs or other losses as a result of cancellations.

      We maintain a full-time sales and marketing staff, many of whom make on-site visits to customers for the purpose of showing product and soliciting orders for products. We also retain a number of independent sales representatives to sell and promote our products, both domestically and internationally. Together with retailers, we occasionally test the consumer acceptance of new products in selected markets before committing resources to large-scale production.

      We advertise our products in trade and consumer magazines and other publications, market our products at international, national and regional toy, stationery and other specialty trade shows, conventions and exhibitions and carry on cooperative advertising programs with toy and mass market retailers and other customers which include the use of print and television ads and in-store displays. We also produce and broadcast television commercials for several of our product lines, including our WWE action figure line, Fly Wheels, TV Games, Care Bears and Cabbage Patch Kids. We may also advertise some of our other products on television, if we expect that the resulting increase in our net sales will justify the relatively high cost of television advertising.

Product Development

      Each of our product lines has an in-house manager responsible for product development. The in-house manager identifies and evaluates inventor products and concepts and other opportunities to enhance or expand existing product lines or to enter new product categories. In addition, we create proprietary products, the principal source of products for our fashion doll line, and products to more fully exploit our concept and character licenses. Although we do have the capability to create and develop products from inception to production, we generally use third-parties to provide a substantial portion of the sculpting, sample making, illustration and package design required for our products in order to accommodate our increasing product innovations and introductions. Typically, the development process takes from three to nine months from concept to production and shipment to our customers.

      We employ a staff of designers for all of our product lines. We occasionally acquire our other product concepts from unaffiliated third parties. If we accept and develop a third party’s concept for new toys, we generally pay a royalty on the toys developed from this concept that are sold, and may, on an individual basis, guarantee a minimum royalty. In addition, we engage third party

developers to program our line of Plug it in & Play TV Games. Royalties payable to inventors and developers generally range from 1% to 2% of the wholesale sales price for each unit of a product sold by us. We believe that utilizing experienced third-party inventors gives us access to a wide range of development talent. We currently work with numerous toy inventors and designers for the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products. We believe that toy inventors and designers have come to appreciate our practice of acting quickly and decisively to acquire and market licensed products. In addition, we believe that all of these factors, as well as our recent success in developing and marketing products, make us more attractive to toy inventors and developers than some of our competitors.

      Safety testing of our products is done at the manufacturers’ facilities by quality control personnel employed by us or by independent third-party contractors engaged by us. Safety testing is designed to meet regulations imposed by federal and state, as well as applicable international, governmental authorities. We also monitor quality assurance procedures for our products for safety purposes. In addition, independent laboratories engaged by some of our larger customers test certain of our products.

Manufacturing and Supplies

      Most of our products are currently produced by overseas third-party manufacturers, which we choose on the basis of quality, reliability and price. Consistent with industry practice, the use of third-party manufacturers enables us to avoid incurring fixed manufacturing costs, while maximizing flexibility, capacity and production technology. Substantially all of the manufacturing services performed overseas for us are paid for on open account with the manufacturers. To date, we have not experienced any material delays in the delivery of our products; however, delivery schedules are subject to various factors beyond our control, and any delays in the future could adversely affect our sales. Currently, we have ongoing relationships with over forty different manufacturers. We believe that alternative sources of supply are available, although we cannot be assured that we can obtain adequate supplies of manufactured products.

      Although we do not conduct the day-to-day manufacturing of our products, we are extensively involved in the design of the product prototype and production tools, dies and molds for our products and we seek to ensure quality control by actively reviewing the production process and testing the products produced by our manufacturers. We employ quality control inspectors who rotate among our manufacturers’ factories to monitor the production of substantially all of our products.

      The principal raw materials used in the production and sale of our toy products are plastics, zinc alloy, plush, printed fabrics, paper products and electronic components, all of which are currently available at reasonable prices from a variety of sources. Although we do not manufacture our products, we own the tools, dies and molds used in the manufacturing process, and these are transferable among manufacturers if we choose to employ alternative manufacturers. Tools, dies and molds represent a substantial portion of our property and equipment with a net book value of $6.8 million in 2004 and $7.5 million in 2005. Substantially all of these assets are located in China.

Trademarks and Copyrights

      Most of our products are produced and sold under trademarks owned by or licensed to us. We typically register our properties, and seek protection under the trademark, copyright and patent laws of the United States and other countries where our products are produced or sold. These intellectual property rights can be significant assets. Accordingly, while we believe we are sufficiently protected, the loss of some of these rights could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition

      Competition in the toy industry is intense. Globally, certain of our competitors have greater financial resources, larger sales and marketing and product development departments, stronger name recognition, longer operating histories and benefit from greater economies of scale. These factors, among others, may enable our competitors to market their products at lower prices or on terms more advantageous to customers than those we could offer for our competitive products. Competition often extends to the procurement of entertainment and product licenses, as well as to the marketing and distribution of products and the obtaining of adequate shelf space. Competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In each of our product lines we compete against one or both of the toy industry’s two dominant companies, Mattel and Hasbro. In addition, we compete, in our Flying Colors and Pentech product categories, with Rose Art (Mega Bloks^®), Hasbro (Play-doh^®) and Binney & Smith (Crayola^®), and, in our toy vehicle lines, with RC2. We also compete with numerous smaller domestic and foreign toy manufacturers, importers and marketers in each of our product categories. Our joint venture’s principal competitors in the video game market are Electronic Arts and Activision.

Seasonality and Backlog

      In 2005, approximately 60% of our net sales were made in the third and fourth quarters. Generally, the first quarter is the period of lowest shipments and sales in our business and the toy industry generally and therefore the least profitable due to various fixed costs. Seasonality factors may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. However, our writing instrument and activity products generally are counter-seasonal to the traditional toy industry seasonality due to the higher volume generally shipped for back-to-school beginning in the second quarter. In addition, our seasonal products are primarily sold in the spring and summer seasons. Our results of operations may also fluctuate as a result of factors such as the timing of new products (and related expenses) introduced by us or our competitors, the advertising activities of our competitors, delivery schedules set by our customers and the emergence of new market entrants. We believe, however, that the low retail price of most of our products may be less subject to seasonal fluctuations than higher priced toy products.

      We ship products in accordance with delivery schedules specified by our customers, which usually request delivery of their products within three to six months of the date of their orders for orders shipped FOB China or Hong Kong and within three days on orders shipped domestically. Because customer orders may be canceled at any time without penalty, our backlog may not accurately indicate sales for any future period.

Government and Industry Regulation

      Our products are subject to the provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Act (“CPSA”), the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (“FHSA”), the Flammable Fabrics Act (“FFA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The CPSA and the FHSA enable the Consumer Products Safety Commission (“CPSC”) to exclude from the market consumer products that fail to comply with applicable product safety regulations or otherwise create a substantial risk of injury, and articles that contain excessive amounts of a banned hazardous substance. The FFA enables the CPSC to regulate and enforce flammability standards for fabrics used in consumer products. The CPSC may also require the repurchase by the manufacturer of articles. Similar laws exist in some states and cities and in various international markets. We maintain a quality control program designed to ensure compliance with all applicable laws.

Employees

      As of March 13, 2006, we employed 624 persons, all of whom are full-time employees, including three executive officers. We employed 353 in the United States, 213 in Hong Kong and 58 in China. We believe that we have good relationships with our employees. None of our employees are represented by a union.

Environmental Issues

      We are subject to legal and financial obligations under environmental, health and safety laws in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we operate. We are not currently aware of any material environmental liabilities associated with any of our operations.

Available Information

      We make available free of charge on or through our Internet website, www.jakkspacific.com, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

Our Corporate Information

      We were formed as a Delaware corporation in 1995. Our principal executive offices are located at 22619 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, California 90265. Our telephone number is (310) 456-7799 and our Internet Website address is www.jakkspacific.com. The contents of our website are not incorporated in or deemed to be a part of this Annual Report or Form 10-K.

      From time to time, including in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we publish forward-looking statements, as disclosed in our Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, beginning immediately following the Table of Contents of this Annual Report. We note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed or anticipated in our forward-looking statements. The factors listed below are illustrative of the risks and uncertainties that may arise and that may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K. We undertake no obligation to make any

revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of the filing of this report.

      We are defendants in litigation matters, as described under “Legal Proceedings” in our periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the lawsuit commenced by WWE and the purported securities class action and derivative action claims stemming from the WWE lawsuit (see “Legal Proceedings”). These claims may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. Although we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims made in each and all of the litigation matters to which we have been named a party, and intend to contest each lawsuit vigorously, no assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. A materially adverse resolution of any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations.

      Our business and operating results depend largely upon the appeal of our products. Our continued success in the toy industry will depend on our ability to redesign, restyle and extend our existing core products and product lines as consumer preferences evolve, and to develop, introduce and gain customer acceptance of new products and product lines. Several trends in recent years have presented challenges for the toy industry, including:

      We cannot assure you that:

      Our failure to achieve any or all of the foregoing benchmarks may cause the infrastructure of our operations to fail, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      The success of many of our character-related and theme-related products depends on the popularity of characters in movies, television programs, live wrestling exhibitions, auto racing events and other media. We cannot assure you that:

      Our failure to achieve any or all of the foregoing benchmarks may cause the infrastructure of our operations to fail, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      Sales of products under trademarks or trade or brand names licensed from others account for substantially all of our net sales. Product licenses allow us to capitalize on characters, designs, concepts and inventions owned by others or developed by toy inventors and designers. Our license agreements generally require us to make specified minimum royalty payments, even if we fail to sell a sufficient number of units to cover these amounts. In addition, under certain of our license agreements, if we fail to achieve certain prescribed sales targets, we may be unable to retain or renew these licenses.

      Under many of our license agreements, including WWE and Nickelodeon, the licensors have the right to review and approve our use of their licensed products, designs or materials before we may make any sales. If a licensor refuses to permit our use of any licensed property in the way we propose, or if their review process is delayed, our development or sale of new products could be impeded.

      Our continued success will depend substantially on our ability to obtain additional licenses. Intensive competition exists for desirable licenses in our industry. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure or renew significant licenses on terms acceptable to us. In addition, as we add licenses, the need to fund additional royalty advances and guaranteed minimum royalty payments may strain our cash resources.

      We derive a significant portion of our net sales from a limited number of licensors. If one or more of these licensors were to terminate or fail to renew our license or not grant us new licenses, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

      The toy industry is highly competitive. Globally, certain of our competitors have financial and strategic advantages over us, including:

      In addition, the toy industry has no significant barriers to entry. Competition is based primarily on the ability to design and develop new toys, to procure licenses for popular characters and trademarks and to successfully market products. Many of our competitors offer similar products or alternatives to our products. Our competitors have obtained and are likely to continue to obtain licenses that overlap our licenses with respect to products, geographic areas and markets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate shelf space in retail stores to support our existing products or to expand our products and product lines or that we will be able to continue to compete effectively against current and future competitors.

      The joint venture with THQ depends entirely on a single license, which gives the venture exclusive worldwide rights to produce and market video games based on World Wrestling Entertainment characters and themes. An adverse outcome against us, THQ or the joint venture in the lawsuit commenced by WWE (see the first Risk Factor, above) would adversely impact our rights under the joint venture’s single license, which would adversely effect the joint venture’s and our business, financial condition and results of operation.

      Furthermore, the popularity of professional wrestling, in general, and World Wrestling Entertainment, in particular, is subject to changing consumer tastes and demands. The relative popularity of professional wrestling has fluctuated significantly in recent years. A decline in the popularity of World Wrestling Entertainment could adversely affect the joint venture’s and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      The joint venture relies on hardware manufacturers and THQ’s non-exclusive licenses with them for the right to publish titles for their platforms and for the manufacture of the joint venture’s titles. If THQ’s manufacturing licenses were to terminate and the joint venture could not otherwise obtain these licenses from other manufacturers, the joint venture would be unable to publish additional titles for these manufacturers’ platforms, which would materially adversely affect the joint venture’s and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      The joint venture’s failure to timely develop titles for new platforms that achieve significant market acceptance, to maintain net sales that are commensurate with product development costs or to maintain compatibility between its personal computer CD-ROM titles and the related hardware and operating systems would adversely affect the joint venture’s and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      Furthermore, THQ controls the day-to-day operations of the joint venture and all of its product development and production operations. Accordingly, the joint venture relies exclusively on THQ to manage these operations effectively. THQ’s failure to effectively manage the joint venture would have a material adverse effect on the joint venture’s and our business and results of operations. We are also dependent upon THQ’s ability to manage cash flows of the joint venture. If THQ is required to retain cash for operations, or because of statutory or contractual restrictions, we may not receive cash payments for our share of profits, on a timely basis, or at all.

      Through June 30, 2006, we are entitled to receive a guaranteed percentage preferred return from the joint venture at varying rates of net sales of the video games depending on the cumulative unit sales and platform of each particular game, as well as on the royalties earned by the joint venture from the publishing of game guides by third parties. THQ is entitled to receive the balance of the profits. We are now in negotiations with THQ to determine our preferred return from the joint venture subsequent to June 30, 2006. In the event we are unable to reach an agreement with THQ on such issue, our joint venture agreement with THQ provides that the determination of the preferred return will be submitted to arbitration. Any resulting change to the preferred return, depending on the level thereof and the ongoing performance of the joint venture, may result in our experiencing reduced net income, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

      We have experienced rapid growth in our product lines resulting in higher net sales over the last six years, which was achieved through acquisitions of businesses, products and licenses. For example, revenues associated with companies we acquired since 2003 were approximately $67.1 million and $168.9 million, in 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing 10.1% and 29.4% of our total revenues for those periods. As a result, comparing our period-to-period operating results may not be meaningful and results of operations from prior periods may not be indicative of future results. We cannot assure you that we will continue to experience growth in, or maintain our present level of, net sales.

      Our growth strategy calls for us to continuously develop and diversify our toy business by acquiring other companies, entering into additional license agreements, refining our product lines and expanding into international markets, which will place additional demands on our management, operational capacity and financial resources and systems. The increased demand on management may necessitate our recruitment and retention of qualified management personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recruit and retain qualified personnel or expand and manage our operations effectively and profitably. To effectively manage future growth, we must continue to

expand our operational, financial and management information systems and to train, motivate and manage our work force. There can be no assurance that our operational, financial and management information systems will be adequate to support our future operations. Failure to expand our operational, financial and management information systems or to train, motivate or manage employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      In addition, implementation of our growth strategy is subject to risks beyond our control, including competition, market acceptance of new products, changes in economic conditions, our ability to obtain or renew licenses on commercially reasonable terms and our ability to finance increased levels of accounts receivable and inventory necessary to support our sales growth, if any. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our growth strategy will continue to be implemented successfully.

      Our growth strategy depends in part upon our ability to acquire companies and new product lines. Revenues associated with our acquisitions since 2003 represented approximately 10.1% and 29.4% of our total revenues in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Future acquisitions will succeed only if we can effectively assess characteristics of potential target companies and product lines, such as:

      We cannot assure you that we can identify attractive acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable acquisition terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to sustain growth. Our acquisition strategy involves a number of risks, each of which could adversely affect our operating results, including:

      Our three largest customers accounted for 59.1% of our net sales in 2005. Except for outstanding purchase orders for specific products, we do not have written contracts with or commitments from any of our customers. A substantial reduction in or termination of orders from any of our largest customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, pressure by large customers seeking price reductions, financial incentives, changes in other terms of sale or for us to bear the risks and the cost of carrying inventory also

could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If one or more of our major customers were to experience difficulties in fulfilling their obligations to us, cease doing business with us, significantly reduce the amount of their purchases from us or return substantial amounts of our products, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the bankruptcy or other lack of success of one or more of our significant retailers could negatively impact our revenues and bad debt expense.

      Our success is largely dependent upon the experience and continued services of Jack Friedman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Stephen G. Berman, our President and Chief Operating Officer. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find an appropriate replacement for Mr. Friedman or Mr. Berman if the need should arise, and any loss or interruption of Mr. Friedman’s or Mr. Berman’s services could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      We depend on over forty third-party manufacturers who develop, provide and use the tools, dies and molds that we own to manufacture our products. However, we have limited control over the manufacturing processes themselves. As a result, any difficulties encountered by the third-party manufacturers that result in product defects, production delays, cost overruns or the inability to fulfill orders on a timely basis could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      We do not have long-term contracts with our third-party manufacturers. Although we believe we could secure other third-party manufacturers to produce our products, our operations would be adversely affected if we lost our relationship with any of our current suppliers or if our current suppliers’ operations or sea or air transportation with our overseas manufacturers were disrupted or terminated even for a relatively short period of time. Our tools, dies and molds are located at the facilities of our third-party manufacturers.

      Although we do not purchase the raw materials used to manufacture our products, we are potentially subject to variations in the prices we pay our third-party manufacturers for products, depending on what they pay for their raw materials.

      We sell products and operate facilities in numerous countries outside the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2005, sales to our international customers comprised approximately 15.0% of our net sales. We expect our sales to international customers to account for a greater portion of our revenues in future fiscal periods. Additionally, we utilize third-party manufacturers

located principally in The People’s Republic of China (“China”) which are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations, including:

      Our reliance on external sources of manufacturing can be shifted, over a period of time, to alternative sources of supply, should such changes be necessary. However, if we were prevented from obtaining products or components for a material portion of our product line due to medical, political, labor or other factors beyond our control, our operations would be disrupted while alternative sources of products were secured. Also, the imposition of trade sanctions by the United States against a class of products imported by us from, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status by China, could significantly increase our cost of products imported from that nation. Because of the importance of our international sales and international sourcing of manufacturing to our business, our financial condition and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected if any of the risks described above were to occur.

      Our business is subject to various laws, including the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Flammable Fabrics Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under these acts. These statutes are administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”), which has the authority to remove from the market products that are found to be defective and present a substantial hazard or risk of serious injury or death. The CPSC can require a manufacturer to recall, repair or replace these products under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that defects in our products will not be alleged or found. Any such allegations or findings could result in:

      Any of these results may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our product liability insurance will be sufficient to avoid or limit our loss in the event of an adverse outcome of any product liability claim.

      We rely on trademark, copyright and trade secret protection, nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to establish, protect and enforce our proprietary rights in our products. The laws of certain foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as the laws of the United States. We cannot assure you that we or our licensors will be able to successfully safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights. Further, certain parties have commenced legal proceedings or made claims against us based on our alleged patent infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets or other violations of their intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that other parties will not assert intellectual property claims against us in the future. These claims could divert our attention from operating our business or result in unanticipated legal and other costs, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      Economic conditions, such as rising fuel prices and decreased consumer confidence, may adversely impact our margins. In addition, general economic conditions were significantly and negatively affected by the September 11th terrorist attacks and could be similarly affected by any future attacks. Such a weakened economic and business climate, as well as consumer uncertainty created by such a climate, could adversely affect our sales and profitability. Other conditions, such as the unavailability of electronics components, may impede our ability to manufacture, source and ship new and continuing products on a timely basis. Significant and sustained increases in the price of oil could adversely impact the cost of the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products, such as plastic.

      On June 15, 2010, June 15, 2013 and June 15, 2018, holders of our convertible senior notes may require us to purchase their notes, which repurchase may be made for cash. In addition, holders may also require us to purchase their notes for cash upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes in our board composition or ownership structure, if we liquidate or dissolve under certain circumstances or if our common stock ceases being quoted on an established over-the-counter trading market in the United States. If we do not have, or have access to, sufficient funds to repurchase the notes, then we could be forced into bankruptcy. In fact, we expect that we would require third-party financing, but we cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain that financing on favorable terms or at all.

      Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of an acquisition accounted for using the purchase method exceeds the fair value of the net assets we acquire. Current accounting standards require that goodwill no longer be amortized but instead be periodically evaluated for impairment based on

the fair value of the reporting unit. As at December 31, 2005, we have not had any impairment of Goodwill, which is reviewed on a quarterly basis and formally evaluated on an annual basis.

      At December 31, 2005, approximately $269.3 million, or 36.0%, of our total assets represented goodwill. Declines in our profitability may impact the fair value of our reporting units, which could result in a further write-down of our goodwill. Reductions in our net income caused by the write-down of goodwill would adversely affect our results of operations.

Item 2. Properties

      The following is a listing of the principal leased offices maintained by us as of March 13, 2006:

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

      On October 19, 2004, we were named as defendants in a lawsuit commenced by WWE in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York concerning our toy licenses with WWE and the video game license between WWE and the joint venture company operated by THQ and us, encaptioned World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. v. JAKKS Pacific, Inc., et al., 1:04-CV-08223-KMK (the “WWE Action”). The complaint also named as defendants THQ, the joint venture, certain of our foreign subsidiaries, Jack Friedman (our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), Stephen Berman (our Chief Operating Officer, President and Secretary and a member of our Board of Directors), Joel Bennett (our Chief Financial Officer), Stanley Shenker and Associates, Inc., Bell Licensing, LLC, Stanley Shenker and James Bell.

      WWE sought treble, punitive and other damages (including disgorgement of profits) in an undisclosed amount and a declaration that the video game license with the joint venture, which is scheduled to expire in 2009 (subject to joint venture’s right to extend that license for an additional five years), and an amendment to our toy licenses with WWE, which are scheduled to expire in 2009, are void and unenforceable. This action alleged violations by the defendants of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (“RICO”) and the anti-bribery provisions of the Robinson-Patman Act, and various claims under state law.

      On February 16, 2005, we filed a motion to dismiss the WWE Action. On March 30, 2005, the day before WWE’s opposition to our motion was due, WWE filed an amended complaint seeking, among other things, to add the Chief Executive Officer of THQ as a defendant and to add a claim under the Sherman Act. On March 31, 2005, the WWE sent a letter to the Court proposing, inter alia, a briefing schedule for defendants’ motions to dismiss the amended complaint. On April 6, 2005, the Court denied WWE’s application, ordered WWE to identify how the amended complaint responds to the dispositive motions raised by defendants, and ordered the parties to appear at a conference on April 27, 2005. At the conference, the Court ordered that by May 6, 2005, WWE was to identify how the amended complaint responded to the dispositive motions raised by defendants and to address whether costs should be assessed in connection with legal work required of defendants in these circumstances. WWE filed its letter on May 6, 2005; the defendants responded on May 13, 2005; and WWE replied to that response on May 23, 2005. A Court conference was held on August 18, 2005. At this conference, the Court allowed the filing of the Amended Complaint and ordered a two-stage resolution of the viability of the Complaint, with motions to dismiss the federal jurisdiction claims based on certain threshold issues to proceed and all other matters to be deferred for consideration if the Complaint survived scrutiny with respect to the threshold issues. The Court also stayed discovery pending the determination of the motions to dismiss. The motions to dismiss the Amended Complaint based on these threshold issues have been fully briefed and argued.

      In November 2004, several purported class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: (1) Garcia v. Jakks Pacific, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 04-8807 (filed on November 5, 2004), (2) Jonco Investors, LLC v. Jakks Pacific, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 04-9021 (filed on November 16, 2004), (3) Kahn v. Jakks Pacific, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 04-8910 (filed on November 10, 2004), (4) Quantum Equities L.L.C. v. Jakks Pacific, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 04-8877 (filed on November 9, 2004), and (5) Irvine v. Jakks Pacific, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 04-9078 (filed on November 16, 2004) (the “Class Actions”). The complaints in the Class Actions allege that defendants issued positive statements concerning increasing sales of our WWE licensed products which were false and misleading because the WWE licenses had allegedly been obtained through a pattern of commercial bribery, our relationship with the WWE was being negatively impacted by the WWE’s contentions and there was an increased risk that the WWE would either seek modification or nullification of the licensing agreements with us. Plaintiffs also allege that we misleadingly failed to disclose the alleged fact that the WWE licenses were obtained through an unlawful bribery scheme. The plaintiffs in the Class Actions are described as purchasers of our common stock, who purchased from as early as October 26, 1999 to as late as October 19, 2004. The Class Actions seek compensatory and other damages in an undisclosed amount, alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by each of the defendants (namely the Company and Messrs. Friedman, Berman and Bennett), and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by Messrs. Friedman, Berman and Bennett. On January 25, 2005, the Court consolidated the Class Actions under the caption In re JAKKS Pacific, Inc. Shareholders Class Action Litigation, Civil Action No. 04-8807. On May 11, 2005, the Court appointed co-lead counsels and provided until July 11, 2005 for an amended complaint to be filed; and a briefing schedule thereafter with respect to a motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss has been fully briefed.

      We believe that the claims in the WWE Action and the Class Actions are without merit and we intend to defend vigorously against them. However, because these Actions are in their

preliminary stages, we cannot assure you as to the outcome of the Actions, nor can we estimate the range of our potential losses.

      On December 2, 2004, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Southern District of New York by Freeport Partner, LLC against us, nominally, and against Messrs. Friedman, Berman and Bennett, Freeport Partners v. Friedman, et al., Civil Action No. 04-9441 (the “Derivative Action”). The Derivative Action seeks to hold the individual defendants liable for damages allegedly caused to us by their actions and in particular to hold them liable on a contribution theory with respect to any liability we incur in connection with the Class Actions. On or about February 10, 2005, a second shareholder derivative action was filed in the Southern District of New York by David Oppenheim against us, nominally, and against Messrs. Friedman, Berman, Bennett, Blatte, Glick, Miller and Skala, Civil Action 05-2046 (the “Second Derivative Action”). The Second Derivative Action seeks to hold the individual defendants liable for damages allegedly caused to us by their actions as a result of alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. On or about March 16, 2005, a third shareholder derivative action was filed. It is captioned Warr v. Friedman, Berman, Bennett, Blatte, Glick, Miller, Skala, and Jakks (as a nominal defendant), and it was filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County (the “Third Derivative Action”). The Third Derivative Action seeks to hold the individual defendants liable for (1) damages allegedly caused to us by their alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment; and (2) restitution to us of profits, benefits and other compensation obtained by them. Stays/and or extensions of time to answer are in place with respect to the derivative actions.

      On March 1, 2005, we delivered a Notice of Breach of Settlement Agreement and Demand for Indemnification to WWE (the “Notification”). The Notification asserted that WWE’s filing of the WWE Action violated A Covenant Not to Sue contained in a January 15, 2004 Settlement Agreement and General Release (“General Release”) entered into between WWE and us and, therefore, that we were demanding indemnification, pursuant to the Indemnification provision contained in the General Release, for all losses that the WWE’s actions have caused or will cause to us and our officers, including but not limited to any losses sustained by us in connection with the Class Actions. On March 4, 2005, in a letter from its outside counsel, WWE asserted that the General Release does not cover the claims in the WWE Action.

      We are a party to, and certain of our property is the subject of, various other pending claims and legal proceedings that routinely arise in the ordinary course of our business, but we do not believe that any of these claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

PART II

Market Information

      Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “JAKK.” The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low sales prices for our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market.

Security Holders

      To the best of our knowledge, as of March 13, 2006, there were 145 holders of record of our common stock. We believe there are numerous beneficial owners of our common stock whose shares are held in “street name.”

Dividends

      We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, but may consider implementing a plan to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

      The table below sets forth the following information as of the year ended December 31, 2005 for (i) all compensation plans previously approved by our stockholders and (ii) all compensation plans not previously approved by our stockholders, if any:

      Equity compensation plans approved by our stockholders consists of the 2002 Stock Award and Incentive Plan. Equity compensation plans not approved by our security holders consist of a fully-vested warrant issued by us in 2003 (and expiring in 2013) in connection with license costs relating to our video game joint venture.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

      You should read the financial data set forth below in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes (included in Item 8).

      The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. You should read this section in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes (included in Item 8).

Critical Accounting Policies

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements and supplementary information were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8. Inherent in the application of many of these accounting policies is the need for management to make estimates and judgments in the determination of certain revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. As such, materially different financial results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. The policies with the greatest potential effect on our results of operations and financial position include:

      The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there were a deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or actual defaults were higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be overstated, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results.

      Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenue is a key component of our results of operations. In addition, our revenue recognition determines the timing of certain expenses, such as commissions and royalties. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenues; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

      We assess the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

      When we determine that the carrying value of long-lived assets and goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Net long-lived assets, including goodwill, amounted to $317.4 million as of December 31, 2005.

Recent Developments

      On February 9, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Creative Designs International, Ltd. and a related Hong Kong company, Arbor Toys Company Limited (collectively “Creative Designs”). The total initial purchase price of $107.7 million consisted of $104.5 million in cash, 150,000 shares of our common stock at a value of approximately $3.2 million and the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $3.5 million. In addition, we agreed to pay an earn-out of up to an aggregate amount of $20.0 million in cash over the three calendar years following the acquisition based on the achievement of certain financial performance criteria, which will be recorded as goodwill when and if earned. Creative Designs is a leading designer and producer of dress-up and role-play toys and will be included in our results of operations beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

Results of Operations

      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statement of operations data as a percentage of net sales.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

      Net Sales. Net sales were $661.5 million in 2005 compared to $574.3 million in 2004, representing an increase of $87.2 million or 15.2%. The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of our Traditional Toy products of $71.9 million, which includes the addition of

$54.8 million in sales from product lines acquired in our Play Along acquisition, and increases in WWE action figures and accessories, wheels products, Cabbage Patch Kids, Doodle Bear^® and Sky Dancers^®, offset in part by decreases in TV Games, dolls, other action figures and Care Bears and Teletubbies products; and an increase in International sales of $30.7 million, including increases in sales of TV Games, action figures and wheels product. The net increase in net sales was partially offset by decreases in sales of our Crafts and Activities and Writing instruments of $19.1 million and our Seasonal products of $5.5 million. Our Funnoodle line was adversely impacted by competition at retail in 2005. We have secured alternate sources of manufacturing for the Funnoodle products resulting in lower costs which we expect will enable us to expand distribution of this product line in 2006. Additionally, net sales in 2005 included approximately $9.8 million of Pet Pal products.

      With the addition of Creative Designs International, Ltd. in 2006, and our other on-going initiatives in product development and marketing, we believe that the increased level of net sales of Traditional Toys should continue throughout 2006. (See “Forward Looking Information”).

      Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $40.7 million, or 18.0%, to $266.7 million, or 40.3% of net sales, in 2005 from $226.0 million, or 39.4% of net sales, in 2004. The overall increase in gross profit was attributable to the increase in net sales. The increase in gross profit margin of 0.9% of net sales was primarily due to lower product costs and tool and mold amortization, offset in part by an increase in royalty expense as a percentage of net sales due to changes in the product mix to more products with higher royalty rates from products with lower royalty rates or proprietary products with no royalties and the write-off of advances and guarantees related to expired or discontinued licenses in 2005.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $178.7 million in 2005 and $172.3 million in 2004, constituting 27.0% and 30.0% of net sales, respectively. The overall increase of $6.4 million in such costs was primarily due to increases in direct selling expenses ($17.3 million), product development costs ($4.0 million) and general and administrative expenses ($1.0 million), partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense related to intangible assets other than goodwill and trademarks ($5.0 million) and stock-based compensation expense ($10.2 million). Comparable grants of restricted stock awards and the increase in the price of our common stock in 2004 compared to a decrease in the price of our common stock in 2005 resulted in a stock-based compensation expense of $3.4 million in 2005 compared to an expense of $13.6 million in 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to additional overhead related to the operations of Play Along and increases in bonus expense ($3.6 million) and donation expense ($5.6 million), offset in part by decreases in legal costs ($5.0 million), bad debt expense ($2.0 million) and rent expense ($1.3 million). The increase in direct selling expenses is primarily due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses of $12.1 million in 2005 in support of the sell-through of our various products at retail. We produce and air television commercials in support of several of our product lines. From time to time, we may increase or decrease our advertising efforts, if we deem it appropriate for particular products.

      Profit from Video Game Joint Venture. Profit from our video game joint venture in 2005 was $9.4 million, as compared to $7.9 million in 2004, due to the release of four new games and stronger sales of existing titles in 2005, offset by the payment of $0.8 million to THQ for their share of profit on our sales of WWE themed TV Games compared to 2004, in which period three new games were released and no payments were made by us to THQ. The amount of the preferred return we will receive after June 30, 2006 is subject to change (see “Risk Factors”).

      Other Expense. Other expense in 2005 of $1.4 million relates to the write-off of an investment in a Chinese joint venture. There were no such expenses in 2004.

      Interest, Net. Interest income increased due to higher average cash balances and higher interest rates during 2005 compared to 2004. Interest expense of $4.5 million for the convertible senior notes payable was comparable to 2004.

      Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes included Federal, state and foreign income taxes at effective tax rates of 26.3% in 2004 and 34.3% in 2005, benefiting from a flat 17.5% Hong Kong Corporation Tax on our income arising in, or derived from, Hong Kong for each of 2004 and 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2005 is due to a greater proportion of taxable income generated in the United States. As of December 31, 2005, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $7.2 million for which no allowance has been provided since, in the opinion of management, realization of the future benefit is probable. In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act created a one-time incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate undistributed earnings from their international subsidiaries by providing an 85% dividends-received deduction for certain international earnings. The deduction was available to corporations during the tax year that includes October 2004, or in the immediately subsequent tax year. In the fourth quarter of 2005, our Board of Directors approved a plan to repatriate $175.0 million in foreign earnings, which was completed in December 2005. The Federal and state income tax expense related to this repatriation was approximately $8.0 million.

Comparisons of the Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

      Net Sales. Net sales were $574.3 million in 2004 compared to $315.8 million in 2003, representing an increase of 81.9%. This increase in net sales was primarily due to the addition of $151.6 million in sales of traditional toys from our recent Play Along acquisition, as well as the addition of (i) $147.5 million in sales of some of our other traditional toy products, including primarily TV Games (with 15 titles in release in 2004, as compared to 3 titles in release in 2003) and WWE action figures and accessories; and (ii) $23.7 million in international sales (including $13.9 million by Play Along). The increase in net sales was offset in part by decreases in sales of our crafts and activities and writing instruments of $48.2 million and our seasonal products, including water guns and junior sports toys, of $16.1 million.

      Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $99.6 million, or 78.8%, to $226.0 million, or 39.4% of net sales, in 2004 from $126.4 million, or 40.0% of net sales, in 2003. The overall increase in gross profit was attributable to the significant increase in net sales. The decrease in gross profit margin of 0.6% of net sales was primarily due to an increase in royalty expense as a percentage of net sales due to changes in the product mix to more products with higher royalty rates from products with lower royalty rates or proprietary products with no royalties.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $172.3 million in 2004 and $113.1 million in 2003, constituting 30.0% and 35.8% of net sales, respectively. The overall increase of $59.2 million in such costs was primarily due to the impact of stock-based compensation ($5.2 million), an increase in legal fees and settlements ($6.8 million) and bonus expense ($4.5 million), an increase in amortization expense related to intangible assets other than goodwill acquired in the Play Along acquisition and the addition of overhead related to the operations of Play Along ($27.2 million). Due to the increases in our grants of restricted stock awards and the price of our common stock in 2004, compared to a moderate

increase in the price of our common stock in 2003, we had stock-based compensation charges of $13.6 million compared to $8.4 million in 2003. The increase in direct selling expenses ($19.3 million) is primarily due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses in 2004 in support of the sell-through of our various products at retail. We produced and aired television commercials in support of several of our products, including World Wrestling Entertainment, Dragon Ball and Mucha Lucha^® action figures, TV Games, Care Bears, Cabbage Patch Kids and Flying Colors products in 2004, and World Wrestling Entertainment and Dragon Ball action figures and Flying Colors products in 2003. From time to time, we may increase our advertising efforts, if we deem it appropriate for particular products.

      Product Recall Costs There were no product recall costs in 2004. In the second quarter of 2003, we accrued a $2.7 million charge for the recall of one of our products, and in the third quarter of 2003, we recorded a credit of $0.7 million for the recovery of recall costs from one of our third-party factories.

      The remaining component of the product recall costs is as follows (in thousands):

      Profit from Video Game Joint Venture. Profit from joint venture increased by $0.5 million in 2004 due to the joint venture having lower unit sales at lower wholesale prices of its two vehicle combat games of the five games released in 2003 compared to releasing all new titles with higher unit sales at higher wholesale prices in addition to having higher sales of carryover titles in 2004. New releases typically generate higher unit sales resulting in higher overall sales as compared to carryover titles. Profit from the joint venture contributed significantly to our pre-tax profit, representing 22.2% of pre-tax income in 2003 and 12.7% in 2004. We expect to continue to receive a preferred return over the remaining term of the license agreement ending December 31, 2009, although we cannot predict with certainty what levels of return will be achieved and, in any case, we anticipate substantial fluctuations in the amount of the preferred return distributed to us from year to year.

      Interest, Net. Interest income increased due to higher average cash balances during 2004 than in 2003, but was offset by interest expense of $4.5 million related to the convertible notes issued in June 2003.

      Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes included Federal, state and foreign income taxes in 2003 and 2004, at an effective tax rate of 8.3% and 26.3%, respectively, benefiting from a flat 17.5% Hong Kong Corporation Tax on our income arising in, or derived from, Hong Kong for 2003 and 2004. For 2004, the effective rate increased as a result of the recognition of U.S. taxes on a greater proportion of foreign earnings deemed to be subject to U.S. taxes. As of December 31, 2004, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $1.9 million. In making this determination, management believes it considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, as well as the weight and importance given to such evidence.

Quarterly Fluctuations and Seasonality

      We have experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipate these fluctuations in the future. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. Our first quarter is typically expected to be the least profitable as a result of lower net sales but substantially similar fixed operating expenses. This is consistent with the performance of many companies in the toy industry.

      The following table presents our unaudited quarterly results for the years indicated. The seasonality of our business is reflected in this quarterly presentation.

      Due to the restatement in 2003 relating to the accounting of the Toymax, Trendmasters and P&M acquisitions and to rounding, some of the figures above may differ from our previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

      During the second quarter of 2003, we recorded a charge which impacted operating income by approximately $2.7 million relating to the recall of one of our products.

      During the third quarter of 2003, we recovered $0.7 million of the recall costs, recorded in the second quarter of 2003, from one of our factories.

      During the fourth quarter of 2003, we recorded a non-cash charge of $8.4 million which impacted operating income relating to the grant of restricted stock and a charge of $2.1 million to provision for bad debt impacting operating income relating to the bankruptcy filing of several of our customers, including Kay Bee Toys.

      During the fourth quarter of 2004, we recorded non-cash charges, which impacted operating income, of $5.6 million relating to the grant of restricted stock and $8.6 million relating to the amortization of short-lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Play Along acquisition.

      During the second quarter of 2005, we wrote-off our $1.4 million investment in a Chinese joint venture to Other Expense on our determination that none of the value would be realized.

      During the fourth quarter of 2005, we recorded a non-cash charge, which impacted net income, of $3.6 million for restricted stock, and we repatriated $175.0 million from our Hong Kong subsidiaries which resulted in incremental income tax expense of $8.0 million and reduced net income.

Recent Accounting Standards

      We use the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees. As required by our existing stock plans, stock options are granted at, or above, the fair value of our stock, and, accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized for these grants in the consolidated statement of operations. We record compensation expense related to other stock-based awards, such as restricted stock grants, over the period the award vests. Issued in December 2004, SFAS 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS 95 “Statement of Cash Flows”. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements, and requires additional accounting and disclosure related to the income tax and cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. SFAS 123(R) is effective for us beginning as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123(R)’s fair value method will have an impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. While we cannot estimate the level of share-based payments to be issued in the future, based on the stock options that are currently outstanding, we expect that the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will result in a charge to operations in 2006 of approximately $2.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      As of December 31, 2005, we had working capital of $301.5 million, as compared to $229.5 million as of December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to our operating results.

      Operating activities provided net cash of $71.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $131.4 million in 2004. Net cash was provided primarily by net income of 63.5 million, non-cash charges and changes in working capital. Our cash position was improved by accounts receivable turnover as measured by days sales outstanding in accounts receivable decreasing from approximately 50 days as of December 31, 2004 to approximately 47 days as of December 31, 2005 primarily due to a shift in sales from domestic sales origin to FOB China, which carry shorter payment terms, a shift in domestic sales to customers with shorter payment terms and overall improved collection efforts and results. Other than open purchase orders, issued in the normal course of business, we have no obligations to purchase finished goods from our manufacturers. As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $240.2 million.

      Our investing activities used cash of $9.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $73.3 million in 2004, consisting primarily of the purchase of office furniture and equipment and molds and tooling used in the manufacture of our products, and the goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Pet Pal, plus the $10.0 million in goodwill relating to the earn-out of Play Along, partially offset by the sale of marketable securities $19.0 million. In 2004, our investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of molds and tooling used in the manufacture of our products, the purchase of other assets, the goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Play Along, partially offset by the sale of marketable securities. As part of our strategy to develop and market new products, we have entered into various character and product licenses with royalties generally ranging from 1% to 12% payable on net sales of such products. As of December 31, 2005, these agreements required future aggregate minimum guarantees of $28.9 million, exclusive of $14.9 million in advances already paid.

      Our financing activities provided net cash of $3.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $1.6 million in 2004. In 2005, cash was primarily provided from the exercise of stock options. In 2004, cash was primarily provided from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the repayment of debt.

      The following is a summary of our significant contractual cash obligations for the periods indicated that existed as of December 31, 2005 and is based on information appearing in the notes to the consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

      In February 2003, our Board of Directors approved a buyback of up to $20.0 million of our common stock. During 2003, we repurchased and retired 554,500 shares of our common stock for a total of approximately $6.1 million. Although there were no common stock repurchases during 2004 and 2005, we evaluate buyback opportunities on an ongoing basis and will buy back the approximately $13.9 million of common stock still available under our buyback program if and when we deem such a repurchase to be in our best interests.

      In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act created a one-time incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate undistributed earnings from their international subsidiaries by providing an 85% dividends-received deduction for certain international earnings. The deduction was available to corporations during the tax year that includes October 2004, or in the immediately subsequent tax year. In the fourth quarter of 2005, our Board of Directors approved a plan to repatriate $175.0 million in foreign earnings, which was completed in December 2005. The Federal and state income tax expense related to this repatriation was approximately $8.0 million.

      In June 2004, we purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Play Along, Inc., Play Along (Hong Kong) Limited and PA Distribution, Inc. (collectively “Play Along”). The total initial purchase price of $85.7 million consisted of cash paid in the amount of $70.8 million and the issuance of 749,005 shares of our common stock valued at $14.9 million. In addition, we agreed to pay an earn-out of up to $10.0 million per year for the four calendar years following the acquisition up to an aggregate amount of $30.0 million based on the achievement of certain financial performance criteria which will be recorded as goodwill when and if earned. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, $10.0 million and $6.7 million of the earn-out was earned and recorded as goodwill, respectively. Accordingly, the annual maximum earn-out for the remaining two years through December 31, 2007 is approximately $6.7 million, or an aggregate of $13.3 million. Our results of operations have included Play Along from the date of acquisition.

      In October 2004, we were named as a defendant in a lawsuit commenced by WWE (the “WWE Action”). The complaint also named as defendants, among others, the joint venture with THQ Inc., certain of our foreign subsidiaries and our three executive officers. In November 2004, several purported class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging damages associated with the facts alleged in the WWE Action. Three shareholder derivative actions have also been filed against us, nominally, and against certain of our Board members (the “Derivative Actions”). The Derivative Actions seek to hold the individual defendants liable for damages allegedly caused to our Company by their actions, and, in one of the Derivative Actions, seeks restitution to our Company of profits, benefits and other compensation obtained by them. See “Legal Proceedings.”

      On June 13, 2005, we purchased substantially all of the operating assets and assumed certain liabilities relating to the Pet Pal line of pet products, including toys, treats and related pet products. The total initial purchase price of $10.6 million was paid in cash. In addition, we agreed to pay an earn-out of up to an aggregate amount of $25.0 million in cash over the three fiscal years following the acquisition based on the achievement of certain financial performance criteria, which will be recorded as goodwill when and if earned. Goodwill of $4.6 million arose from this transaction, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed. This acquisition expands our product offerings and distribution channels. Our results of operations have included Pet Pal from the date of acquisition.

      On February 9, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Creative Designs International, Ltd. and a related Hong Kong company, Arbor Toys Company Limited (collectively “Creative Designs”). The total initial purchase price of $107.7 million consisted of $104.5 million in cash, 150,000 shares of our common stock at a value of approximately $3.2 million and the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $3.5 million. In addition, we agreed to pay an earn-out of up to an aggregate amount of $20.0 million in cash over the three calendar years following the acquisition based on the achievement of certain financial performance criteria, which will be recorded as goodwill when and if earned. Creative Designs is a leading designer and producer of dress-up and role-play toys and will be included in our results of operations beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

      In June 2003, we sold an aggregate of $98.0 million of 4.625% Convertible Senior Notes due June 15, 2023. The notes may be converted into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $20.00 per share, subject to certain circumstances. Cash interest is payable at an annual rate of 4.625% of the principal amount at issuance, from the issue date to June 15, 2010, payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2003. After June 15, 2010, interest will accrue on the outstanding notes until maturity. At maturity, we will redeem the notes at their accreted principal amount, which will be equal to $1,811.95 (181.195%) per $1,000 principal amount at issuance, unless redeemed or converted earlier.

      We may redeem the notes at our option in whole or in part beginning on June 15, 2010, at 100% of their accreted principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable in cash. Holders of the notes may also require us to repurchase all or part of their notes on June 15, 2010, for cash, at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount per note plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Holders of the notes may also require us to repurchase all or part of their notes on June 15, 2013 and June 15, 2018 at a repurchase price of 100% of the accreted principal amount per note plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Any repurchases at June 15, 2013 and June 15, 2018 may be paid in cash, in shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

      We believe that our cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and provide us with adequate liquidity to meet our anticipated operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Although operating activities are expected to provide cash, to the extent we grow significantly in the future, our operating and investing activities may use cash and, consequently, this growth may require us to obtain additional sources of financing. There can be no assurance that any necessary additional financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. We intend to finance our long-term liquidity requirements out of net cash provided by operations and cash and cash equivalents.

Exchange Rates

      Sales from our United States and Hong Kong operations are denominated in U.S. dollars and our manufacturing costs are denominated in either U.S. or Hong Kong dollars. Operations and operating expenses of all of our operations are denominated in local currency, thereby creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the Hong Kong dollar or British Pound/U.S. dollar exchange rate may positively or negatively affect our operating results. The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar has been fixed by the Hong Kong government since 1983 at HK$7.80 to US$1.00 and, accordingly, has not represented a currency exchange risk to the U.S. dollar. We cannot assure you that the exchange rate between the United States and Hong Kong currencies will continue to be fixed or that exchange rate fluctuations between the United States and Hong Kong and United Kingdom currencies will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of changes in United States and international borrowing rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we are exposed to market risk in certain geographic areas that have experienced or remain vulnerable to an economic downturn, such as China. We purchase substantially all of our inventory from companies in China, and, therefore, we are subject to the risk that such suppliers will be unable to provide inventory at competitive prices. While we believe that, if such an event were to occur we would be able to find alternative sources of inventory at competitive prices, we cannot assure you that we would be able to do so. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. Historically and as of December 31, 2005, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities to minimize our market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

      In June 2003, we issued convertible senior notes payable of $98.0 million with a fixed interest rate of 4.625% per annum, which remain outstanding as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, we are not generally subject to any direct risk of loss arising from changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

      We have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and in the United Kingdom. Sales are made by these operations on FOB China or Hong Kong terms and are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, purchases of inventory and Hong Kong operating expenses are typically denominated in Hong Kong dollars and operating expenses made in the United Kingdom are typically denominated in British Pounds, thereby creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the British Pound or Hong Kong dollar/ U.S. dollar exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our gross margins, operating income and retained earnings. The British Pound gave rise to the other comprehensive loss in the balance sheet at December 31, 2005. The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar has been fixed by the Hong Kong government since 1983 at HK$7.80 to US$1.00 and, accordingly, has not represented a currency exchange risk to the U.S. dollar. We do not believe that near-term changes in these exchange rates, if any, will result in a material effect on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows, and therefore, we have chosen not to enter into foreign currency hedging transactions. We cannot assure you that this approach will be successful, especially in the event of a significant and sudden change in the value of the Hong Kong dollar or British Pound.

Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and Subsidiaries

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows and the financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. We also have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

      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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

      A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

      Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and schedule referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, management’s assessment that JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
