Note 17 — Liquidity

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $63.0 million and $65.0 million, respectively. Cash, and cash equivalents, including restricted cash held outside of the United States in various foreign subsidiaries totaled $34.4 million and $52.8 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, balances in our foreign subsidiaries have been fully taxed in the U.S. in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and would not be subject to additional U.S. tax should such amounts be repatriated in the form of dividends or deemed distributions. Any such repatriation may result in foreign withholding taxes, which would not be significant as of June 30, 2018.
 
The Company’s primary sources of working capital are cash flows from operations and borrowings under its credit facility (see Note 5 - Credit Facilities in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Typically, cash flows from operations are impacted by the effect on sales of (1) the appeal of the Company’s products, (2) the success of its licensed brands, (3) the highly competitive conditions existing in the toy industry, (4) dependency on a limited set of large customers, and (5) general economic conditions. A downturn in any single factor or a combination of factors could have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to operate the business. In addition, the Company’s business and liquidity are dependent to a significant degree on its vendors and their financial health, as well as the ability to accurately forecast the demand for products. The loss of a key vendor, or material changes in support by them, or a significant variance in actual demand compared to the forecast, can have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows and business. Given the conditions in the toy industry environment in general, vendors, including licensors, may seek further assurances or take actions to protect against non-payment of amounts due to them. Changes in this area could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity.

Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, projected cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Company’s credit facility should be sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and allow the repayment of the Company’s indebtedness in 2018, for the next 12 months with certain mitigating plans described herein. On July 26, 2018, the Company exchanged $8.0 million of the 2018 convertible notes for convertible notes that mature in November 2020 with terms similar to the convertible notes issued in November 2017 (see Note 18 – Subsequent Events in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information). On June 14, 2018, the Company secured a $20.0 million term loan with Great American Capital Partners Finance Co., LLC (“GACP”) with the amount advanced based primarily on certain types of inventory. In addition, on June 14, 2018, the Company expanded the credit facility with Wells Fargo to add certain of the Company’s Hong Kong based subsidiaries in order to include the receivables of these subsidiaries in the borrowing base computation, subject to certain limitations, thereby effectively increasing the amount of funds that the Company could borrow under the credit facility. The GACP term loan matures upon the earlier of (i) June 14, 2021, (ii) the termination date of the Wells Fargo credit facility, or March 27, 2019, and (iii) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of various of the Company’s convertible senior notes due in 2020. The Company is currently in the initial phases of negotiating to amend and extend the Wells Fargo credit facility, which would also effectively extend the GACP term loan. In addition, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors continues to evaluate Meisheng’s Expression of Interest to acquire additional shares of the Company, which would include the restructuring or refinancing of the outstanding convertible senior notes. The Company cannot make assurances that it will be able to close the aforementioned amendment to the credit facility or a transaction with Meisheng (or another interested party), or that it will have the financial resources required to obtain, or that the conditions of the capital markets will support, any future debt or equity financings. In addition, the Company’s ability to fund operations and retire its debt is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are beyond its control and/or inherently difficult to estimate, including our future operating performance and the factors mentioned above and included in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-Q and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. If the Company is unable to amend its credit facility to extend the term or secure another source of capital on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may be required to take additional measures, such as reorganizing the cost structure and adjusting inventory purchases and/or payment terms with suppliers, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s revenues and business.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
