                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997, and the 
related condensed consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by Coastcast 
Corporation (the "Company") without audit.  In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) have been made 
which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of 
operations and cash flows of the Company at March 31, 1997 and for the three 
month period then ended.

Although the Company believes that the disclosure in the condensed 
consolidated financial statements is adequate for a fair presentation 
thereof, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The December 31, 
1996 audited statements were included in the Company's annual report on Form 
10-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the year ended December 
31, 1996.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto 
contained in that annual report.

The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following:

                                            March 31,      December 31,

3.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The plan adopted in October 1993 to phase out the aerospace business was 
essentially completed by June 1994.  The net current assets of discontinued 
operations as of March 31, 1997 were $821,000, principally consisting of the 
estimated net realizable value of the Wallingford, Connecticut property 
including the related deferred tax asset.

In connection with the offering for sale of the Wallingford, Connecticut 
property, the Company had an environmental assessment performed, which 
identified the presence of certain chemicals associated with chlorinated 
solvents in

                                      6
<PAGE>

groundwater beneath a portion of the property.  The Company is continuing to 
conduct further investigations to determine the source and extent of the 
contamination.  The Company has recorded the net assets associated with its 
discontinued operations at the estimated net realizable value.  However, 
since the precise source and extent of the contamination has not been 
identified at this time, no assurances can be given that the proceeds to be 
realized upon the sale of this property less the cost of remediation will 
equal or exceed the estimated net realizable value.

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of 
common stock outstanding and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock 
options, using the treasury stock method.

                              COASTCAST CORPORATION
                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 1997 compared with three months ended March 31, 
1996:

For the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996, sales 
were $29.0 million vs. $29.3 million, net income was $1.2 million vs. $3.5 
million, and earnings per share were $0.13 vs. $0.39.

Compared to the first quarter of last year, sales did not change, but the 
product mix was different.  Titanium woods revenue declined by about 
one-third, and steel woods revenue declined by about one-half.  In addition, 
the Company was in the start-up phase of two major programs--the titanium 
irons for Callaway and the newest titanium metal woods for Taylor Made.  The 
combination of these factors caused earnings to be depressed.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The plan adopted in October 1993 to phase out the aerospace business was 
essentially completed by June 1994.  The net current assets of discontinued 
operations as of March 31, 1997 were $821,000, principally consisting of the 
estimated net realizable value of the Wallingford, Connecticut property 
including the related deferred tax asset.

In connection with the offering for sale of the Wallingford, Connecticut 
property, the Company had an environmental assessment performed, which 
identified the presence of certain chemicals associated with chlorinated 
solvents in groundwater beneath a portion of the property.  The Company is 
currently conducting further investigation to determine the source and extent 
of the contamination.  The Company has recorded the net assets associated 
with its discontinued operations at the estimated net realizable value.  
However, since the precise source and extent of the contamination has not 
been identified at this time, no assurances can be given that the proceeds to 
be realized upon the sale of this property less the cost of remediation will 
equal or exceed the estimated net realizable value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments position at 
March 31, 1997 was $7.9 million compared to $14.0 million on December 31, 
1996, a decrease of $6.1 million.  Net cash used in operating activities was 
$5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The net cash used in 
operating activities consisted primarly of an increase in inventories of $8.2 
million and an increase in accounts receivable of $1.0 million, partially 
offset by net income of $1.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.7 
million, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.2 
million. Cash used in investing activities consisted mainly of $0.5 million 
of net capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Net 
cash provided by financing activities of $0.3 million consisted primarily of 
proceeds from exercise of stock options.

The Company has no long-term debt.  The Company believes that its current 
cash position, working capital generated from future operations and the 
ability to borrow from financial institutions should be adequate to meet its 
financing requirements for the foreseeable future.
