*The Securities and Exchange Commission doesn't recognize us.  Of course, the last time it saw us, we had our eyes closed.

               On this, the second anniversary of our founding, we are pleased to report that we are healthy, strong, and in the black in every sector. We are making a statement in emerging markets -- in fact, we are an emerging market. Read our Executive Summary, and discover why growing with us is a good risk.

WALKING AND TALKING

We have built our Walking and Talking Division from the ground up. In just 2 short years, we have become a recognized industry leader in this field. The division now accounts for well in excess of 50% of our total growth. As we continue to make great strides, we have nowhere to go but up (the stairs). In the coming year, we are on target to expand our toddling into the yard. We also have plans to add the names of five new colors to our vocabulary (3 of them real!), and we will soon be rolling out bigger and better animal sounds, including a comprehensively re-tooled monkey screech complete with hand gestures and a wide open grin.

CUTENESS

 With seventeen patents pending for various facial expressions, idioms, and distinct kinds of hopping, is it any wonder that when this subject pops up, we are always on the tip of the tongue? As to the rumors that our cheeks are insured by Lloyds of London, we simply will not comment, because some of our intellectual property rights are in coyness. But we love a good mystery as much as the next person.  You can draw your own conclusions.  We'll even throw in a crayon.

POTTY

Using state-of- the-art methods, (and even some crappy ones), we have made the competition tremble in fear, and literally you-know-what in its pants. And that’s the straight poop.

NAPPING

The AAA gives our napping performance a 2-star rating overall.  The BBB gives us a 3-star rating. Moody’s gives us 4 stars.  Standard & Poors gives us 5 stars, which is the highest anybody knows how to count – that we've heard tell.

SWIMMING

Our swimming department is doing -- how do you say it in your language? -- swimmingly. In fact, we have rejected many offers to acquire it and spin it off as a separate concern. We intend to keep making a big splash, but our number one goal is customer loyalty -- that, and putting our head under water and blowing bubbles. 

EATING

Nobody beats us in this category.  N-o-b-o-d-y!  Not even Zeyde. 

Even if Customer satisfaction surveys lie, ice cream doesn't, and that's just a fact. 

There's a reason the public is so impressed with us; we have the stats to back up our claims.  For the 2nd year running, we are the winner of the No. 1 Eater Award, beating out all the other eaters everywhere. 

READING

When we went public, the naysayers said we'd have a tough time against our competitors--the show-offs who were already reading in the womb before even being listed. But we believe in substance and hard work -- not parlor tricks. 

 Staying a steady, conservative course, and using just-in-time-for-bedtime management, we have built a formidable inventory.

 If we don't have it, it probably isn't worth trying to sound out the vowels.

BALLS

Man, we have a lot of!

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

We are a good citizen, and we always contribute to our community. Our charitable arm is long, and actually extends back quite a ways. Way, way back, actually.

 

CHART

As graphically displayed by Figure 1, the trends are all positive.

Every good annual report contains charts that have squiggly lines in them. Nobody knows what the lines mean, and please do not pretend otherwise.  We have our own doll carriage crammed full of such charts, naturellement.  We've published a representative sample so that our annual report will be smart and stylish.

FASHION FORWARD

 Our sartorial splendor (in the grass and otherwise) is the Talk of the Town.

 Are we a little avant garde? Perhaps. And what risk-taker isn't?

In the mane, the tell-tale sign of a winner is in the roar of approval from the market.

FUTURE PROJECTS

Artist's conception of a stick figure.

We have many mind-blowing projects on the drawing board today, which could be rolled out at any moment.   Our R&D Department is working overtime, except when it's napping. Stay tuned. With Naomi, the future is now!
