                                  (Unaudited)


(1)	In the opinion of management and subject to year-end audit, the 
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments 
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly 
the financial position of the Company as of April 2, 1995 and March 27, 
1994, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then 
ended.

	The quarter ended April 2, 1995 consisted of fourteen weeks while 
the quarter ended March 27, 1994 consisted of thirteen weeks.

	The results of operations for the quarter ended April 2, 1995, are 
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.


(2)	The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment 
Benefits (SFAS 112) as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year. SFAS 112 
requires that the cost of certain postemployment benefits be accrued over 
the employee service period, which was a change from the Company's prior 
practice of recording such benefits when incurred. The effect of initially 
applying SFAS 112, net of a deferred tax benefit of $2,513, was reported as 
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, negatively 
impacting the Company's first quarter 1994 earnings by $4,282.

(3)	As of February 1, 1995, the Company purchased certain products and 
other assets from the Larami group of companies. The consideration for this 
purchase is currently estimated by the Company to be $88,652. Accounting 
for this acquisition using the purchase method, the Company has allocated 
the purchase price based on preliminary estimates of fair market value 
which included $9,622 of net tangible assets, $67,175 of product rights and 
licenses and $11,855 of cost in excess of net assets acquired.

(4)	Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number 
of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding 
during each period. Common stock equivalents include stock options and 
warrants for the period prior to their exercise. Under the treasury stock 
method, the unexercised options and warrants were assumed to be exercised 
at the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed 
proceeds were then used to purchase common stock at the average market 
price during the period.

	For each of the reported periods the difference between primary and 
fully diluted earnings per share was not significant.

                            (Thousands of dollars)


NET REVENUES				
- ------------
Net revenues for the first quarter of 1995 were $526,503, or approximately 
8% greater than the $489,133 reported for the same period of 1994. 
Increased local currency revenues from most of the Company's international 
marketing units, coupled with the favorable effect of the weakened U.S. 
dollar was the major factor in this growth. In the domestic market, the 
Company's revenues were essentially flat with increases in the Hasbro Games 
Group offset by decreases in the Hasbro Toy Group. The first quarter of 
1995 included 14 weeks while 1994 included 13.

Gross Profit
- ------------
The gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage of net revenues, 
decreased to 55.8% from the 1994 level of 57.4%. A major cause of this 
deterioration was the change in mix of products sold, primarily within the 
Hasbro Toy Group. During the first quarter of 1995, preschool products 
accounted for a larger portion of total revenues and generally this 
category returns lower gross margins than do promotional products. 
Additionally, the increased cost of plastic resins and paper, major 
components of many of the Company's products, was a contributing factor.

EXPENSES
- --------
Royalties, research and development expenses for the quarter increased in 
both amount and as a percentage of revenues from 1994 levels. The royalty 
component increased marginally in amount, reflecting the increased 
revenues, while as a percentage of revenues it decreased, reflecting the 
change in mix of products sold. Research and development was $32,564 for 
the quarter compared to $28,503 in 1994. This increase cannot be attributed 
to any one unit or geographic area, but rather reflects the Company's 
expanded efforts, both in new products and technologies and the refreshing 
of its existing items.

The current quarter advertising increased approximately $5,700 from the 
comparable 1994 level, and, as a percentage of net revenues, increased 
marginally to 13.3% from 13.2% a year ago. Both increases can largely be 
attributed to the higher portion of the Company's revenues coming from the 
international marketing units which generally have higher advertising to 
sales ratios than do the domestic groups. 

The Company's selling, distribution and administration expenses increased, 
both in amount and as a percentage of net revenues, from their respective 
1994 amounts. Contributing to the increases were the impact of the weakened 
U.S. dollar, the amounts from the Company's new operations, including 
Larami, the K'nex joint venture, Scandinavia, and Waddington Games, the 
additional week in the 1995 first quarter and the higher proportion of 
volume contributed by the international units. Because of the need to 
operate stand-alone units in most of the international markets, their 
selling, distribution and administration expenses, expressed as a 
percentage of revenues, are generally greater than those of the domestic 
units.

NONOPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE
- -----------------------------
Interest expense, while remaining constant as a percentage of net revenues, 
increased approximately 7% from the 1994 first quarter amount. While the 
Company's operations generated more than $280,000 of cash during the most 
recent twelve months, it also has increased borrowing requirements, 
resulting from the utilization of approximately $400,000 for acquisitions 
and investments, warrant and share repurchases and the reduction of long-
term debt during the same period. In addition, higher interest rates are 
being experienced in 1995.

OTHER INFORMATION
- -----------------
The business of the Company is characterized by customer order patterns 
which vary from year to year largely because of differences in the degree 
of consumer acceptance of a product line, product availability, marketing 
strategies and inventory levels of retailers and differences in overall 
economic conditions. Also, more retailers are using quick response 
inventory management practices which results in fewer orders being placed 
in advance of shipment and more orders, when placed, for immediate 
delivery. As a result, comparisons of unshipped orders on any date in a 
given year with those at the same date in a prior year are not necessarily 
indicative of sales for the entire year. In addition, it is a general 
industry practice that orders are subject to amendment or cancellation by 
customers prior to shipment. The Company's unshipped orders were 
approximately $400,000 at April 28, 1995 compared to $350,000 at April 22, 
1994. During the past several years the Company has experienced a shift in 
its revenue pattern wherein the second half of the year has grown in 
significance to its overall business and within that half the fourth 
quarter has become more prominent. The Company expects that this trend will 
continue.

During both 1994 and 1993, the Company incurred certain restructuring 
costs. The 1994 actions, completed in the first quarter of 1995, resulted 
in the termination of approximately 600 employees, of which approximately 
100 were management positions. The closure of the Company's Netherlands 
manufacturing facility, which was the major portion of the 1993 charge, 
originally planned for the second quarter of 1994, was delayed until the 
first quarter of 1995 due to the time necessary to comply with local 
requirements. This resulted in the severance of approximately 200 
additional employees. As both of these actions were not completed until the 
current quarter, the Company has just begun to experience the financial 
benefits from these actions but does not believe that they will be material 
in any future period. A majority of the liabilities established for these 
restructurings has not yet been satisfied.

                            (Thousands of dollars)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Because of the seasonality of the Company's business coupled with certain 
customer incentives, mainly in the form of extended payment terms, the 
interim cash flow statements are not representative of that which may be 
expected for the full year. As a result of these extended payment terms, 
the majority of the Company's cash collections occur late in the fourth 
quarter and early in the first quarter of the subsequent year. While a 
large portion of these receivables are of a quality which would allow their 
sale, alleviating the need for much of its interim financing, the Company 
believes it to be more cost effective to use its available funds and short-
term borrowings to finance them. As a result, cash flow from operations 
during the second and third quarters of each year is usually negative while 
late in the fourth quarter and through the first quarter of the subsequent 
year, as receivables are collected, cash flow from operations becomes 
positive and is used to repay a significant portion of the short-term 
borrowings. 

As a result, management believes that on an interim basis, rather than 
discussing its cash flows, a better understanding of its liquidity and 
capital resources can be obtained through a discussion of the various 
balance sheet categories. Also, as several of the major categories, 
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and 
short-term borrowings, fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, 
again due to the seasonality of its business and the extended payment terms 
offered, management believes that a comparison to the comparable period in 
the prior year is generally more meaningful than a comparison to the prior 
year-end.

Cash and cash equivalents were approximately 25% below their 1994 level. 
The Company attempts to keep its cash at the lowest level possible whenever 
it has short-term borrowings. At times, however, the cash available and the 
borrowing requirement may be in different countries and currencies which 
may make it impractical to substitute one for the other. Receivables were 
approximately $25,000 greater than at the same time in 1994. More than half 
of the increase results from the impact of changed foreign currency 
translation rates while the remainder reflects the increased revenue volume 
in the first quarter of 1995. Inventories marginally increased from their 
1994 level but absent the effect of changed translation rates would have 
been below those of a year ago. Prepaid expenses increased from their 1994 
amounts reflecting the Company's increased volume and business activities. 
Other assets, as a group, increased approximately $200,000 from their level 
a year ago. This increase reflects the Company's investments and 
acquisitions during the most recent twelve months, partially offset by the 
disposition of certain investments, as described in Management's Discussion 
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Management's Review) for the year 
ended December 25, 1994, and twelve additional months of amortization 
expense.

Short-term borrowings, at $162,736 were approximately $110,000 greater than 
last year. This increase is the net effect of the cash required for the 
Company's recent acquisitions, the early redemption of $50,000 of its long-
term debt, the election to pay cash rather than issuing additional shares 
to exercising holders of its warrants, which expired on July 12, 1994, the 
repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock, the net cash 
requirements of the change in other assets noted above, all partially 
offset by funds generated from operations within the most recent twelve 
months. Other current liabilities increased approximately 8% as a result of 
the Company's increased activities and the impact of changed foreign 
currency translation rates. At April 2, 1995, the Company had committed 
unsecured lines of credit totaling approximately $450,000 available to it. 
It also had available uncommitted lines approximating $950,000. The Company 
believes that these amounts are adequate for its needs. Of these available 
lines, approximately $175,000 was in use at April 2, 1995.

RECENT INFORMATION
- ------------------
As discussed in Management's Review for the year ended December 25, 1994, 
the Company and CBS Inc. (CBS) had negotiated a resolution to the 
implementation of the judgment in favor of the Company arising from a legal 
action relating to the environmental remediation of the Company's former 
manufacturing facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. During the quarter, the 
Company received the agreed payment from CBS for remediation and other 
costs incurred, the termination of the consent order from the Pennsylvania 
Department of Environmental Resources and on April 17, 1995 sold the site 
to CBS for the agreed payment.

                       REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, were true and 
correct in all material respects when made and continue to be true and 
correct in all material respects on the date hereof, except that the 
financial statements referred to therein shall be the financial 
statements of the Borrower most recently delivered to the Agent, and 
except as such representations and warranties are affected by the 
transactions contemplated hereby;

            (b)  The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower 
of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated 
hereby: (i) are within the corporate powers of the Borrower and have 
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of 
the Borrower, (ii) do not require any approval, consent of, or filing

under any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or to

would not have a material adverse effect on the Borrower and its 
subsidiaries taken as a whole, and (v) do not result in or require the 
creation or imposition of any mortgage, deed of trust, pledge or 
encumbrance of any nature upon any of the assets or properties of the 
Borrower; and

            (c)  This Amendment, the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, 
and the other Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding 
obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in 
accordance with their respective terms, provided that (i) enforcement 
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, 
moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights 
and remedies of creditors, and (ii) enforcement may be subject to 
general principles of equity, and the availability of the remedies of 
specific performance and injunctive relief may be subject to the 
discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such remedies 
may be brought.


          4.   No Other Amendments.
               -------------------
