(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 March 30, 1997 and March 31,
1996, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended.
The results of operations for the quarter ended March 30, 1997, are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
(2) Per share data have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock
split paid March 21, 1997.
(3) 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 are assumed to be exercised at
the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds
are 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.

NET REVENUES
- - ------------
Net revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $555,784, compared with the
$538,685 reported for the same period of 1996. Increased revenue from
products associated with the theatrical re-release of the Star Wars trilogy,
was a major factor in this growth. Also contributing to increased volumes in
the United States were the Company's line of Super Soaker water toys and the
Hasbro Interactive range of CD-ROM classic games. Internationally, the
Company experienced growth, both in local currency and U.S. dollars, in
Canada, Mexico, Latin America and Australia, while in Europe, moderate local
currency gains were more than offset by the approximate $8 million impact of
the strengthened dollar.
GROSS PROFIT
- - ------------
The Company's gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage of net revenues,
increased almost two percentage points to 57.7% from the 1996 level of 55.9%.
The mix of products sold, coupled with reduced manufacturing overheads, is
primarily responsible for the 1997 improvement.
EXPENSES
- - --------
Royalties, research and development expenses for the quarter increased in
both amount and as a percentage of revenues from 1996 levels. The royalty
component increased in both, reflecting the increased revenues and the change
in mix of products sold. Research and development remained constant as a
percentage of revenues while increasing slightly in amount to $31,057 for the
quarter, compared to $30,119 in 1996.
The current quarter advertising decreased as a percentage of net revenues to
12.8% from 13.0% a year ago, while increasing marginally in amount. The
decrease in percentage is the result of several factors including the lower
portion of the Company's revenues coming from the international marketing
units which generally have higher advertising to sales ratios than do the
United States groups and lower advertising costs with respect to the United
States toy products.
The Company's selling, distribution and administration expenses increased
from their 1996 levels, both in amount and as a percentage of net revenues.
Absent the impact of the previously announced closure of a manufacturing
facility in the U.K., however, they remained essentially flat when expressed
as a percentage of net revenues. The increased dollar amount reflects
increased shipping costs as well as the impact of new operations in Chile,
Peru and Argentina.

(Thousands of dollars)
NONOPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE
- - -----------------------------
Net nonoperating expense decreased to $259 in the first quarter of 1997 from
$1,943 a year ago. This was primarily the result of lower net interest
expense, as both short-term borrowing and investment levels were favorable
compared to 1996, reflecting the cash generated from operations during the
most recent twelve months. Additionally, interest rates on short-term
investments were favorable as compared to 1996.
INCOME TAXES
- - ------------
Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax earnings in the first quarter of
1997 decreased to 36.0% from 37.7% in the first quarter of 1996. This
decrease reflects changes in Hasbro's operations begun in prior years, as
well as the impact of certain strategies implemented during 1996. These
changes and strategies realized a tax benefit for certain international
operating losses and helped further reduce state income taxes.
OTHER INFORMATION
- - -----------------
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. This
concentration increases the risk of (a) underproduction of popular items, (b)
overproduction of less popular items and (c) failure to achieve tight and
compressed shipping schedules. 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, quick response inventory
management practices now being used 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. At the end of its fiscal April (April 27, 1997 and April 28, 1996)
the Company's unshipped orders were approximately $410,000 and $380,000,
respectively.

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. As receivables are
collected late in the fourth quarter and through the first quarter of the
subsequent year, 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 at March 30, 1997, were approximately double their
1996 level. The Company attempts to keep its cash and cash equivalents at the
lowest level possible whenever it has short-term borrowings, although at
times 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. Despite first quarter revenue growth of $17,000, receivables were
approximately $10,000 less than at the same time a year ago. This reflects
the favorable impact of increased sales in markets with shorter sales terms.
Inventories decraesed significantly from the prior year, primarily in the
U.S., reflecting the Company's continuing efforts to better manage its
inventories while still being able to supply customers on a timely basis.
Other assets, as a group, decreased from their 1996 levels, reflecting twelve
additional months of amortization expense, partially offset by the Company's
acquisitions of product rights and licenses during the most recent twelve
months.
Short-term borrowings, at $69,543 were approximately $24,000, or 25% less
than last year, again reflecting funds generated from operations within the
most recent twelve months available to reduce such borrowings. At March 30,
1997, the Company had committed unsecured lines of credit totaling
approximately $550,000 available to it. It also had available uncommitted
lines approximating $750,000. The Company believes that these amounts are
adequate for its needs. Of these available lines, approximately $90,000 was
in use at March 30, 1997.

RECENT INFORMATION
- - ------------------
On May 2, 1997, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of
the assets of Cap Toys and OddzOn Products from Russ Berrie and Company, Inc.
In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128) and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, Disclosure of Information about
Capital Structure (SFAS 129). SFAS 128 establishes new computation,
presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share, however, the
Company does not expect that its adoption will have any material impact on
its earnings per share. SFAS 129 formalizes disclosure requirements related
to an entity's capital structure and, as such, will not have any impact on
the Company's financial condition or its results of operation.
