Xiaoqiang Zhao became a member of our board of directors. Mr. Zhao is Executive Director of Meisheng, the entity that purchased
our common stock, and Chairman of the Board of Directors and a Director of its parent company Meisheng Cultural &amp; Creative
Co. Ltd. We have previously entered into two joint ventures with Meisheng. One joint venture was formed for the purpose of distributing
certain licensed and non-licensed toys and consumer products to agreed-upon territories of the People&rsquo;s Republic of China.
That joint venture operates a subsidiary in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone that sells, distributes and markets these products, which
include dolls, plush, role play products, action figures, costumes, seasonal items, technology and app-enhanced toys, based on
top entertainment licenses and our own proprietary brands. The other joint venture was formed to develop animation content for
use in toys and other consumer products developed by us and Meisheng. We consolidate the joint venture companies&rsquo; results
with our financial statements.</P>
