Liquidity

As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, the Company held cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $65.0 million and $58.2 million, respectively. Cash, and cash equivalents, including restricted cash held outside of the United States in various foreign subsidiaries totaled $52.8 million and $33.9 million as of December 31, 2017 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 December 31, 2018.
 
The Company’s primary sources of working capital are cash flows from operations and borrowings under its credit facility (see Note 11 - Credit Facilities in the accompanying notes to the 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 from the issuance of these financial statements with certain mitigating plans described herein. In October 2018, the Company initiated a global restructuring program to adapt the Company’s cost structure and overhead to the evolving retail landscape. During the 2019 first quarter, two amendments were executed related to the Company's 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 in negotiations with Meisheng related to an equity investment in the Company and with an ad hoc group of holders (the “Ad Hoc Group”) of the June 2020 convertible senior notes and with Oasis Investments II Master Fund Ltd. (“Oasis”), the holder of the November 2020 convertible senior notes, to extend the maturities of the aforementioned convertible senior notes (together, the “Proposed Equity and Recapitalization Transactions”). The Company cannot make assurances that it will be able to extend the credit facility on a longer term basis or that the Company can complete the Proposed Equity and Recapitalization Transactions, or similar strategic transaction(s), 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. If the Company is unable to amend the credit facility to extend the term on a longer term basis and complete a strategic transaction, 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 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.
