                           COASTCAST CORPORATION
          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1998, the related
condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months
and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 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 June 30, 1998 and for the periods 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, 1997 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, 1997.  These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
notes thereto contained in that annual report.

Certain reclassifications were made to 1997 balances to conform to the
1998 presentation.

The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following:

3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted net income per share is based
on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and
dilutive potential 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

Sales increased 9.3% and 29.0% to $43.6 million and $88.9 million for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $39.9
million and $68.9 million for the three months and six months ended June
30, 1997, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increased sales
volume in steel and titanium iron clubheads.

Gross profit increased 20.0% and 60.0% to $9.6 million and $19.2 million
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively,
from $8.0 million and $12.0 million for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1997.  Gross profit margins increased to 22.0% and 21.6%
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 respectively, from
20.0% and 17.4% for the comparable prior year periods, due principally to
increased production volume.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $0.2 million, or
6.1%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $3.3
million for the comparable prior year period.  The decrease was due
primarily to decreased payroll and related expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $0.7 million, or 12.7%, to $6.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $5.5 million for the
comparable prior year period.  The increase was due primarily to increased
payroll and related expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents position at June 30, 1998 was
$34.7 million compared to $28.2 million on December 31, 1997, an increase
of $6.5 million.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The net cash provided by
operating activities consisted of net income of $8.0 million, a decrease
in inventories of  $3.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.5
million, and an increase in deferred compensation of $0.7 million,
partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable of $2.0
million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of
$1.1 million.  Net cash used in investing activities of $7.7 million
consisted mainly of $6.5 million of net capital expenditures and an
increase in cash value of life insurance of $1.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.  Net cash provided by financing activities of
$3.2 million consisted mainly 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 should be adequate to meet its financing requirements
for the foreseeable future.
