Liquidity
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $47.4 million and $58.2 million, respectively. Cash, and cash equivalents, including restricted cash held outside of the United States in various foreign subsidiaries totaled $23.9 million and $33.9 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash balances in the Company's foreign subsidiaries have either been fully taxed in the U.S. or tax has been accounted for in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or may be eligible for a full foreign dividends received deduction under such Act, and thus 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 the Company expects would not be significant as of March 31, 2019.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, for the next 12 months with certain mitigating plans described herein. In October 2018, the Company initiated a global restructuring program (“Corporate Restructuring”) to adapt the Company’s cost structure and overhead to the evolving retail landscape. During the 2019 first quarter, the Company executed two amendments related to its credit facility with Wells Fargo. The first amendment allows the Company to factor its Hong Kong receivables due from a significant customer providing the Company with additional flexibility. The second amendment extends the maturity date of the credit facility from March 27, 2019 to September 27, 2019, which also effectively extends the GACP term loan to September 27, 2019. The Company is currently in the initial phases of negotiations to amend and extend the Wells Fargo credit facility on a longer term basis. The Company is engaged in negotiations with Meisheng regarding its purchase of  $50.0 million of sufficient newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock such that Meisheng would own 51% of the Company’s outstanding shares, and with an ad hoc group of holders (the “Ad Hoc Group”) of the Company’s June 2020 convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) and with Oasis Investments II Master Fund Ltd. ("Oasis"), the holder of the Company’s November 2020 convertible senior notes regarding the extension of maturities of the Company's convertible senior notes (together, the “Proposed Meisheng and Recapitalization Transactions”). The Company is currently awaiting the receipt by Meisheng of certain approvals to advance the Proposed Meisheng and Recapitalization Transactions, including approvals from Chinese regulatory bodies. The Company’s advisors have also discussed with Wells Fargo, GACP, the Ad Hoc Group and Oasis as well as other third parties a variety of potential alternative transactions, and as of the date hereof, the Company has reached an agreement in principle with the Ad Hoc Group and Oasis with respect to a transaction that contemplates the exchange and extension of the convertible senior notes due 2020 (plus the issuance of significant preferred and common equity to holders of the Notes who participate in the exchange), extension or refinancing of the Company’s credit facility, the retirement or refinancing of the Company’s term loan, and the provision of incremental liquidity to the Company  (the “Alternative Transactions”). No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to consummate an extension of the Company’s credit facility on a longer term basis, or that the Company will consummate the Proposed Equity and Recapitalization Transactions or the Alternative Transactions, or that even if any of such transactions are consummated that their final terms will resemble the terms currently contemplated, or that the Company 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 debt when due is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control and/or inherently difficult to estimate, including the Company's future operating performance and the factors mentioned above, among other risks and uncertainties. If the Company is unable to amend its credit facility to extend the term on a longer term basis and complete the Proposed Equity and Recapitalization Transactions or the Alternative Transactions, or secure another source of capital on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may be required to take additional measures, such as further reorganizations of the Company cost structure and adjusting inventory purchases and/or payment terms with suppliers, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

As of March 31, 2019, off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit issued by Wells Fargo of $12.8 million.
