NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Simon Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented.
Prior to August 2001, the Company was a multi-national, full service promotional marketing company. In August 2001, McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonald’s”), the Company’s principal customer, terminated its 25-year relationship with the Company as a result of the embezzlement by a former Company employee of winning game pieces from McDonald’s promotional games administered by the Company. Other customers also terminated their relationships with the Company, resulting in the Company no longer having a business. By April 2002, the Company had effectively eliminated a majority of its ongoing promotions business operations and was in the process of disposing of its assets and settling its liabilities related to the promotions business and defending and pursuing litigation with respect thereto. As a result of these efforts, the Company has been able to resolve a significant number of outstanding liabilities that existed in August 2001 or arose subsequent to that date. During the second quarter of 2002, the discontinued activities of the Company, consisting of revenues, operating costs, certain general and administrative costs and certain assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s promotions business, were classified as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes.
The Company had one stock-based compensation plan at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008. See Note 3.
At March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Company had a passive investment in a limited liability company controlled by an affiliate. See Note 5.
The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which defers the implementation for the non-recurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities from fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The remaining provisions of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position or results of operations when they became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141R”) which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, (ii) changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, (iii) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, requires changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled, (iv) requires companies to revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information to reflect any adjustments as if they had been recorded on the acquisition date, (v) requires the reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties to be recognized in earnings, and (vi) requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS 141R also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination to enhance financial statement users’ understanding of the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with the exception of accounting for changes in a valuation allowance for acquired deferred tax assets and the resolution of

uncertain tax positions accounted for under FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which was effective on January 1, 2009, for all acquisitions. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51,” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. SFAS 160 also requires that a retained noncontrolling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company will be required to report its noncontrolling interests as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company will also be required to present net income allocable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the stockholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position or results of operations.
2. Absence of Operating Business; Going Concern
As a result of the loss of its customers, the Company no longer has any operating business. Since August 2001, the Company has concentrated its efforts on reducing its costs and settling numerous claims, contractual obligations, and pending litigation. As a result of these efforts, the Company has been able to resolve a significant number of outstanding liabilities that existed at December 31, 2001, or arose subsequent to that date. At March 31, 2009, the Company had reduced its workforce to 4 employees from 136 employees at December 31, 2001. The Company is currently managed by the Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, Greg Mays, together with an acting general counsel.
At March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $16.5 million and $16.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $(0.4) million and $(0.8) million, respectively. The Company continues to incur losses in 2009 within its continuing operations for the general and administrative expenses being incurred to manage the affairs of the Company and resolve outstanding legal matters. By utilizing cash received pursuant to the settlement with McDonald’s in 2004, $2.1 million received from Yucaipa AEC in July 2008 and March 2009 (see Note 5), and $1.75 million received in settlement of the Company’s lawsuit against PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, management believes it has sufficient capital resources and liquidity to operate the Company for the foreseeable future. In connection with the Company’s settlement of its litigation with McDonald’s and related entities, the Company received net cash proceeds, after attorney’s fees, of approximately $13 million and, due to the elimination of liabilities associated with the settlement of approximately $12 million, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $25 million in 2004. However, as a result of significant losses from operations, a lack of any operating revenue and a potential liquidation in connection with the Recapitalization Agreement described below, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Board of Directors continues to consider various alternative courses of action for the Company, including possibly acquiring or combining with one or more operating businesses. The Board of Directors has reviewed and analyzed a number of proposed transactions and will continue to do so until it can determine a course of action going forward to best benefit all shareholders. The Company cannot predict when the Directors will have developed a proposed course of action or whether any such course of action will be successful. Management believes it has sufficient capital resources and liquidity to operate the Company for the foreseeable future.
In connection with the Recapitalization Agreement described below, and in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination by the later of (i) December 31, 2010 or (ii) December 31, 2011 in the event that a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a business combination was executed on or prior to December 31, 2010 but the business combination was not consummated prior to such time, and no qualified offer have been previously consummated, the officers of the Company will take all such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Company as soon as reasonably practicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to be dissolved and liquidated if Overseas Toys, L. P. (“Overseas Toys”), the Company’s largest shareholder, and/or any affiliate thereof shall have made a qualified offer no earlier than one hundred and twenty (120) days and at least sixty (60) days prior to the termination date and shall have

Table of Contents

consummated such qualified offer by having purchased all shares of stock properly and timely tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the qualified offer.
On June 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Exchange and Recapitalization Agreement (the “Recapitalization Agreement”) with Overseas Toys, the holder of all the outstanding shares of preferred stock of the Company, pursuant to which all the outstanding preferred stock would be converted into shares of common stock representing 70% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the conversion. The Recapitalization Agreement was negotiated on the Company’s behalf by the Special Committee of disinterested directors which, based in part upon the opinion of the Special Committee’s financial advisor, determined that the transaction was fair to the holders of common stock from a financial point of view. At a special meeting held on September 18, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation proposed in order to effect a recapitalization of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Recapitalization Agreement.
In the exchange, the Company issued 37,940,756 shares of common stock with a fair value of $15.2 million in exchange for 34,717 shares of preferred stock (representing all outstanding preferred shares) with a carrying value of $34.7 million and related accrued dividends of approximately $147,000. The Company recorded $19.7 million to retained earnings in September 2008 representing the excess of carrying value of the preferred stock received over the fair market value of the common shares issued as such difference essentially represents a return to the Company.
The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $65.3 million and state NOLs of approximately $35.1 million that may, subject to applicable tax rules, be used to reduce certain income tax obligations in the future. In 2008, California suspended the ability of businesses to use California NOLs to reduce California income tax obligations for tax years 2008 and 2009. Based on a review of the Company’s NOLs by its outside tax advisors and with the exception of the two-year NOL suspension implemented by California in 2008, the Company does not anticipate that the recapitalization will materially or adversely impact the Company’s ability to use its NOLs.
3. Stock Plan
1993 Omnibus Stock Plan
Under its 1993 Omnibus Stock Plan, as amended (the “Omnibus Plan”), which terminated in May 2003 except for options outstanding at that time, the Company reserved up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, or restricted stock. The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, the Compensation Committee had the authority to select the optionees or restricted stock recipients and determine the terms of the options or restricted stock granted, including: (i) the number of shares; (ii) the exercise period (which may not exceed ten years); (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option cannot be less than the market price of the common stock on the date of grant); (iv) the type and duration of options or restrictions, limitations on transfer, and other restrictions; and (v) the time, manner, and form of payment.
Generally, an option is not transferable by the option holder except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Also, and in general, no incentive stock option may be exercised more than 60 days following termination of employment. However, in the event that termination is due to death or disability, the option is exercisable for a maximum of 180 days after such termination.
Options granted under this plan generally became exercisable in three equal installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted during 2003 became exercisable in two equal installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. No further options may be granted under the Omnibus Plan.
There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 or 2008.

4. Discontinued Operations
By April 2002, the Company had effectively eliminated a majority of its on-going promotions business operations. Accordingly, the discontinued activities of the Company have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. If necessary, the Company includes sufficient cash within its discontinued operations to ensure assets from discontinued operations to be disposed of cover liabilities from discontinued operations. Management believes it has sufficient capital resources and liquidity to operate the Company for the foreseeable future.

5. Long-term Investments
YUCAIPA AEC ASSOCIATES
At March 31, 2009, the Company held an investment in Yucaipa AEC Associates, LLC (“Yucaipa AEC”), a limited liability company that is controlled by Yucaipa, which also controls the largest holder of the Company’s common stock. Yucaipa AEC, in turn, primarily held an equity investment in the Source Interlink Companies (“Source”) a direct-to-retail magazine distribution and fulfillment company in North America and a provider of magazine information and front-end management services principally for retailers, which was received upon the merger of Alliance Entertainment Companies (“Alliance”) with Source. Alliance is a home entertainment product distribution, fulfillment, and infrastructure company providing both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce home entertainment retailers with complete business-to-business solutions. At December 31, 2001, the Company’s investment in Yucaipa AEC had a carrying value of $10.0 million which was accounted for under the cost method. In June 2002, certain events occurred which indicated an impairment and the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash charge of $10.0 million to write down this investment in June 2002. In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the FASB, issued EITF 03-16, “Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies,” which required the Company to change its method of accounting for its investment in Yucaipa AEC from the cost method to the equity method for periods ending after July 1, 2004.

Table of Contents

On February 28, 2005, Alliance merged with Source. Inasmuch as Source is a publicly traded company, the Company’s pro rata investment in Yucaipa AEC, which holds the shares in Source, is equal to the number of Source shares indirectly held by the Company multiplied by the stock price of Source, which does not reflect any discount for illiquidity. Accordingly, on February 28, 2005, the date of closing of the merger to reflect its share of the gain upon receipt of the Source shares by Yucaipa AEC, the Company recorded an unrealized gain to accumulated other comprehensive income of $11.3 million, which does not reflect any discount for illiquidity. As the Company’s investment in Yucaipa AEC is accounted for under the equity method, the Company adjusts its investment based in its pro rata share of the earnings and losses of Yucaipa AEC. In addition, the Company recognizes its share in the other comprehensive income (loss) of Yucaipa AEC on the basis of changes in the fair value of Source through an adjustment in the unrealized gains and losses in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity. There were adjustments totaling $.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009, which increased the recorded value of the Company’s investment in Yucaipa AEC to $.2 million. Subsequently, on April 28, 2009, Source filed a pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the Company expects to lose its equity in Source in connection with the bankruptcy. Accordingly, the Company reduced the value of its Source investment to $0 as of March 31, 2009. The Company has no power to dispose of or liquidate its holding in Yucaipa AEC which power is held by Yucaipa AEC.
During 2008, the Company received $1.75 million from Yucaipa AEC in connection with a December 2007 sale of one of its holdings. The Company received an additional $350,000 in March 2009 as payment for a receivable on its December 31, 2008, balance sheet for additional amounts due related to this transaction. Accordingly, the Company’s total gain related to the sale of this holding was $2.1 million which was included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The Yucaipa AEC investment, along with a separate investment in a technology related company of approximately $160,000, is included in the investments line item on the balance sheet.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
In the past, with its excess cash, the Company had made strategic and venture investments in a portfolio of privately held companies. These investments were in technology and internet related companies that were at varying stages of development, and were intended to provide the Company with an expanded technology and internet presence, to enhance the Company’s position at the leading edge of e-business, and to provide venture investment returns. These companies in which the Company had invested are subject to all the risks inherent in technology and the internet. In addition, these companies are subject to the valuation volatility associated with the investment community and capital markets. The carrying value of the Company’s investments in these companies is subject to the aforementioned risks. Periodically, the Company performs a review of the carrying value of all its investments in these companies.
At March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the carrying values of other investments were approximately $25,000 and $21,000, respectively. These are presented as part of other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded investment impairments of approximately $1,000 and $16,000, respectively, to adjust the recorded value of its other investments to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows the Company expects from such investments due to management’s determination that the decline in fair value of certain investments below their cost bases were other-than-temporary. Of the approximately $25,000 carrying value of other investments at March 31, 2009, and in accordance with the fair value hierarchy contained in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” approximately $18,000 was valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and approximately $7,000 was valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) such as current results, trends and future prospects, capital market conditions, and other economic factors.
While the Company will continue to periodically evaluate its investments, there can be no assurance that its investment strategy will be successful, and thus the Company might not ever realize any benefits from its portfolio of investments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, 4,107,281 shares, respectively, on a converted basis of convertible preferred stock (see Note 8) were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because to do so would have been antidilutive. There was no convertible preferred stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 88,000 and 175,000 shares, respectively, related to stock options exercisable were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, as the average market price of the Company’s common stock did not exceed the weighted average exercise price of such options, because to do so would have been antidilutive.
7. Note Receivable and Gain on Settlement
In February 2001, the Company sold its Corporate Promotions Group (“CPG”) business to Cyrk, Inc. (“Cyrk”), formerly known as Rockridge Partners, Inc., for $8 million cash, the assumption of $3.7 million of debt, and a note in the amount of $2.3 million. Cyrk also assumed certain liabilities of the CPG business. Subsequently, in connection with the settlement of a controversy between the parties, Cyrk supplied a $500,000 letter of credit to secure partial performance of certain assumed liabilities and the balance due on the note was forgiven, subject to a reinstatement thereof in the event of default by Cyrk under such assumed liabilities.
One of the obligations assumed by Cyrk was to Winthrop Resources Corporation (“Winthrop”). As a condition to Cyrk assuming this obligation, however, the Company was required to provide a $4.2 million letter of credit as collateral for Winthrop in case Cyrk did not perform the assumed obligation. Because the Company remained secondarily liable under the Winthrop lease restructuring, recognizing a liability at inception for the fair value of the obligation was not required under the provisions of FASB Interpretation 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others—an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” However, in the fourth quarter of 2003, Cyrk informed the Company that it was continuing to suffer substantial financial difficulties and that it might not be able to continue to discharge its obligations to Winthrop which were secured by the Company’s letter of credit. As a result of the foregoing, and in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” the Company recorded a charge in 2003 of $2.8 million to other expense with respect to the liability arising from the Winthrop lease. Such liability was revised downward to $2.5 million during 2004 and to $1.6 million during 2005 based on the reduction in the Winthrop liability. The available amount under this letter of credit reduced over time as the underlying obligation to Winthrop reduced. As of September 30, 2005, the available amount under the letter of credit was $2.1 million which was secured, in part, by $1.6 million of restricted cash of the Company. The Company’s letter of credit was also secured, in part, by the aforesaid $500,000 letter of credit provided by Cyrk for the benefit of the Company.

Table of Contents

In December 2005, the Company received notification that Winthrop drew down the $1.6 million balance of the Company’s letter of credit due to Cyrk’s default on its obligations to Winthrop. An equal amount of the Company’s restricted cash was drawn down by the Company’s bank which had issued the letter of credit. Upon default by Cyrk and if such default is not cured within 15 days after receipt of written notice of default from the Company, Cyrk’s $2.3 million subordinated note payable to the Company, which was forgiven by the Company in 2003, was subject to reinstatement. After evaluating its alternatives in December 2005 and providing written notice to Cyrk in January 2006, such $2.3 million subordinated note payable was reinstated in January 2006 pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release with Cyrk as explained in the following paragraph.
On January 31, 2006, the Company and Cyrk entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release pursuant to which: (1) Cyrk agreed to pay $1.6 million to the Company, of which $435,000 was paid on or before March 1, 2006 and the balance is payable, pursuant to a subordinated note (the “New Subordinated Note”), in forty-one (41) approximately equal consecutive monthly installments beginning April 1, 2006; (ii) Cyrk entered into a Confession of Judgment in Washington State Court for all amounts owing to the Company under the New Subordinated Note and the $2.3 million note (the “Old Subordinated Note”); (iii) Cyrk’s parent company agreed to subordinate approximately $4.3 million of Cyrk debt to the debt owed to the Company by Cyrk; and (iv) Cyrk and the Company entered into mutual releases of all claims except those arising under the Settlement Agreement, the New Subordinated Note or the Confession Judgment. So long as Cyrk did not default on the New Subordinated Note or in the event of payment in full, the Company agreed not to enter the Confession of Judgment relating to the Old Subordinated Note in court. Cyrk’s obligations under the New Subordinated Note and the Old Subordinated Note are subordinated to Cyrk’s obligations to the financial institution which is Cyrk’s senior lender, which obligations are secured by, among other things, substantially all of Cyrk’s assets. Through August 31, 2008, the Company collected $1.3 million from Cyrk under the New Subordinated Note. Cyrk did not make a timely payment on September 1, 2008, and has made no payments since. As a result, the Company filed the Confession of Judgment in the state of Washington on November 14, 2008, and is in the process of attempting to execute on the judgment. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in enforcing the Confession of Judgment and collecting any further payments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately $90,000 in payments were received by the Company pursuant to the New Subordinated Note. Such amounts received, less imputed interest, are included in gain on settlement in Note 4.
At March 31, 2009, an allowance was recorded for the balance of the New Subordinated Note totaling $.3 million as collectibility is not reasonably assured based on the Company’s experience of prior arrangements with Cyrk including the default of the Winthrop obligation and settlement of controversy noted above, and as Cyrk did not make a timely payment on September 1, 2008, and has made no payments since.
8. Redeemable Preferred Stock
In November 1999, Overseas Toys, L.P., an affiliate of Yucaipa, a Los Angeles, California based investment firm, invested $25 million into the Company in exchange for preferred stock and a warrant to purchase additional preferred stock. Under the terms of the investment, the Company issued 25,000 shares of a newly authorized senior cumulative participating convertible preferred stock (“preferred stock”) to Yucaipa for $25 million. Yucaipa was entitled, at their option, to convert each share of preferred stock into common stock equal to the sum of $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by $8.25.
Yucaipa had voting rights equivalent to the number of shares of common stock into which their preferred stock was convertible on the relevant record date and had the right to appoint a total of three directors to the Company’s seven-member Board of Directors and to designate the Chairman of the Board. Also, Yucaipa was entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to 4%, paid quarterly, of the base liquidation preference of $1,000 per share outstanding, payable in cash or in-kind at the Company’s option.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, Yucaipa, as holder of the preferred stock, would have been entitled to receive the redemption price of $1,000 per share plus all accrued dividends plus: (1) (a) 7.5% of the amount that the Company’s retained earnings exceeds $75 million less (b) the aggregate amount of any cash dividends paid on common stock which were not in excess of the amount of dividends paid on the preferred stock, divided by (2) the total number of preferred shares outstanding as of such date (the “adjusted liquidation preference”), before any payment was made to other stockholders. The preferred stock was subject to a mandatory offer of redemption if a change in control of the Company occurs.

See Note 2 for information regarding the Recapitalization Agreement, which was subsequently approved by shareholders on September 18, 2008, pursuant to which the preferred stock was converted to common stock.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in the previous year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and related Notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks
From time to time, the Company may provide forward-looking information such as forecasts of expected future performance or statements about the Company’s plans and objectives, including certain information provided below. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company wishes to caution readers that actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company including, without limitation, as a result of factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors included in the Company’s December 31, 2008, Form 10-K for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
General
Prior to August 2001, the Company was a multi-national, full service promotional marketing company. In August 2001, McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonald’s”), the Company’s principal customer, terminated its 25-year relationship with the Company as a result of the embezzlement by a former Company employee of winning game pieces from McDonald’s promotional games administered by the Company. Other customers also terminated their relationships with the Company, resulting in the Company no longer having a business. By April 2002, the Company had effectively eliminated a majority of its ongoing promotions business operations and was in the process of disposing of its assets and settling its liabilities related to the promotions business and defending and pursuing related litigation. During the second quarter of 2002, the discontinued activities of the Company, consisting of revenues, operating costs, general and administrative costs, and certain assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s promotions business, were classified as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes.
As a result of the loss of its customers, the Company no longer has any operating business. Since August 2001, the Company has concentrated its efforts on reducing its costs and settling numerous claims, contractual obligations, and pending litigation. As a result of these efforts, the Company has been able to resolve a significant number of outstanding liabilities that existed at December 31, 2001, or arose subsequent to that date. At March 31, 2009, the Company had reduced its workforce to 4 employees from 136 employees at December 31, 2001. The Company is currently managed by the Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, Greg Mays, and an acting general counsel.
Outlook
As a result of significant losses from operations, a lack of any operating revenue and a potential liquidation in connection with the Recapitalization Agreement, described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company has taken significant actions and will continue to take further action to reduce its cost structure. The Board of Directors of the Company continues to consider various alternative courses of action for the Company going forward, including possibly acquiring or combining with one or more operating businesses. The Board of Directors has reviewed and analyzed a number of proposed transactions and will continue to do so until it can determine a course of action going forward to best benefit all shareholders. The Company cannot predict when the Directors will have developed a proposed course of action or whether any such course of action will be successful. Management believes it has sufficient capital resources and liquidity to operate the Company for the foreseeable future.
In connection with the Recapitalization Agreement described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination by the later of (i) December 31, 2010 or (ii) December 31, 2011 in the event that a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a business combination was

15


Table of Contents

executed on or prior to December 31, 2010 but the business combination was not consummated prior to such time, and no qualified offer have been previously consummated, the officers of the Company will take all such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Company as soon as reasonably practicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to be dissolved and liquidated if Overseas Toys, L. P., the Company’s largest shareholder, and/or any affiliate thereof shall have made a qualified offer no earlier than one hundred and twenty (120) days and at least sixty (60) days prior to the termination date and shall have consummated such qualified offer by having purchased all shares of stock properly and timely tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the qualified offer.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The discontinued activities of the Company have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Continuing operations represent the costs required to maintain the Company’s current corporate infrastructure that will enable the Board of Directors to pursue various alternative courses of action going forward. These costs primarily consist of the salaries and benefits of executive management and corporate finance staff, professional fees, Board of Director fees, and space and facility costs. The Company’s continuing operations and discontinued operations will be discussed separately, based on the respective financial results contained in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
The Company generated no sales or gross profits during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
General and administrative expenses totaled $.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $.9 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of advisory and legal costs in 2009 associated with reviewing the recapitalization of the Company by the Special Committee of independent directors during 2008.
Interest income totaled approximately $57,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately $108,000 during the same period in the prior year. The Company had a slightly higher average cash balance during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year, but this was more than offset by a reduction in interest rates from the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The Company recorded an investment impairment of $1,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $16,000 during the same period in the prior year. Such impairments were recorded to adjust the recorded value of its investments accounted for under the cost method, which does not include the Company’s investment in Yucaipa AEC, to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows the Company expects from such investments.
Lastly, there was approximately $8,000 recorded to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for equity in the earnings of Yucaipa AEC for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0 for the same period in the prior year.
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
The Company generated no sales or gross profits during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
The Company recorded general and administrative expenses of $.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, which primarily consisted of adjustments to the recorded value of a cash surrender value related asset.
The Company recorded a gain on settlement of approximately $.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, which represents payments received, net of imputed interest, related to the New Subordinated Note from Cyrk.

16


Table of Contents

Interest income totaled approximately $13,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, which represents imputed interest income earned on the New Subordinated Note from Cyrk.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The matters discussed in the section “Absence of Operating Business; Going Concern” in Note 2 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” have had and will continue to have a substantial adverse impact on the Company’s cash position. As a result of significant losses from operations, a lack of any operating revenue and a potential liquidation in connection with the Recapitalization Agreement described below, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Company continues to incur operating losses in 2009 within its continuing operations for the general and administrative expenses incurred to manage the affairs of the Company and resolve outstanding legal matters. Inasmuch as the Company no longer generates operating income and is unable to borrow funds, the source of current and future working capital is expected to be cash on hand and the recovery of certain long-term investments. By utilizing cash received pursuant to the settlement with McDonald’s in 2004, $2.1 million received from Yucaipa AEC in July 2008 and March 2009 (see Note 5), and $1.75 million received in settlement of the Company’s lawsuit against PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, management believes it has sufficient capital resources and liquidity to operate the Company for the foreseeable future.
The Board of Directors of the Company continues to consider various alternative courses of action for the Company, including possibly acquiring or combining with one or more operating businesses. The Board of Directors has reviewed and analyzed a number of proposed transactions and will continue to do so until it can determine a course of action going forward to best benefit all shareholders. The Company cannot predict when the Directors will have developed a proposed course of action or whether any such course of action will be successful.
On June 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Exchange and Recapitalization Agreement (the “Recapitalization Agreement”) with Overseas Toys, L. P. (“Overseas Toys”), the holder of all the outstanding shares of preferred stock of the Company, pursuant to which all the outstanding preferred stock would be converted into shares of common stock representing 70% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the conversion. The Recapitalization Agreement was negotiated on the Company’s behalf by the Special Committee of disinterested directors which, based in part upon the opinion of the Special Committee’s financial advisor, determined that the transaction was fair to the holders of common stock from a financial point of view. At a special meeting held on September 18, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation proposed in order to effect a recapitalization of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Recapitalization Agreement.
The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $65.3 million and state NOLs of approximately $35.1 million that may, subject to applicable tax rules, be used to reduce certain income tax obligations in the future. In 2008, California suspended the ability of businesses to use California NOLs to reduce California income tax obligations for tax years 2008 and 2009. Based on a review of the Company’s NOLs by its outside tax advisors and with the exception of the two-year NOL suspension implemented by California in 2008, the Company does not anticipate that the recapitalization will materially or adversely impact the Company’s ability to use its NOLs.
Continuing Operations
Working capital from continuing operations was $16.1 million and $16.6 million at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2009, totaled approximately $39,000 primarily due to a loss from continuing operations of $.4 million partially offset by a net change in working capital items. Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008, totaled $.6 million primarily due to a loss from continuing operations of $.8 million partially offset by a change of $.2 million in working capital items.
There was nominal cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Table of Contents

There were no financing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
On March 2, 2009, the Company received $350,000 from Yucaipa AEC in connection with a December 2007 sale of one of its holdings. This is in addition to the previously reported $1.75 million received by the Company from Yucaipa AEC on July 10, 2008. The gain related to the sale of this holding was included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The Company’s remaining investment in Yucaipa AEC totals approximately $12,000 at March 31, 2009. This item, along with a separate investment in a technology related company of approximately $160,000, is included in the investments line item on the balance sheet.
