    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
                         (UNAUDITED)


   1.    BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

                    The accompanying unaudited condensed
  consolidated financial statements of Toy Biz, Inc. and its
  subsidiary (collectively, the "Company") have been prepared
  in accordance with generally accepted accounting
  principles for interim financial information and with the
  instruction to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
  footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
  principles for complete financial statements. In the
  opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
  normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
  presentation have been included. For further information,
  refer to the consolidated financial statements and
  footnotes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report
  on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
  as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  2.INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND CAPITAL STOCK

                    On March 2, 1995, the Company completed
  an initial public offering ("IPO") by issuing 2,750,000
  new shares of its Class A Common Stock ("Class A Common
  Stock" and collectively with the Class B Common Stock, the
  "Common Stock") at $18 per share. The net proceeds to the
  Company of $44,145, after deducting fees and expenses,
  were used to pay outstanding amounts due under
  subordinated notes which totalled $15,119 in principal and
  $1,961 in interest, with the balance used for working
  capital and general corporate purposes.

                  3.ACQUISITION

                    On September 11, 1995, pursuant to an
  Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 17, 1995, as
  amended, between the Company and Spectra Star, Inc.
  ("Spectra Star"), the Company acquired certain assets and
  assumed certain liabilities of Spectra Star (the
  "Acquisition"). The purchase price, including fees related
  to the Acquisition, totaled approximately $13.6 million,
  consisting of approximately $10.6 million of cash and
  assumed liabilities and the issuance of a maximum of
  130,303 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
  Stock") with a maximum redemption value of $4.3 million.
  The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time after March
  10, 1996 at the option of the holders into 130,303 shares
  of Class A Common Stock or cash at the then present value
  of the Preferred Stock. Through June 30, 1996, 53,030
  shares of the Preferred Stock were redeemed for cash at an

weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares assuming 27 million shares of Common Stock were
outstanding during the period prior to the IPO in March,
1995.

  6. STOCK OFFERING

                  On August 13, 1996, the Company sold
700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price to the
public of $15.00 per share. As part of such offering,
Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc. ("Marvel"), a principal
stockholder, also sold 2,500,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the
sale of the new shares of Class A Common Stock, estimated
at approximately $9.1 million after expenses and
underwriting discounts, to fund a portion of its
capital commitment to Marvel Studios ("Marvel
Studios"), an entity to be formed with Marvel to
facilitate the release of feature film, television
programming and other media and theatrical productions
based on Marvel's characters. The Company intends to fulfill its
commitment by purchasing, from time to time, Preferred
Equity Interests in Marvel Studios. Pending such use, the
net proceeds are expected to be used for working capital and general
corporate purposes.

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


GENERAL

 The Company designs, markets and distributes in the United States and
internationally new and traditional toys in the boys', girls', preschool,
activity and electronic toy categories featuring major entertainment and
consumer brand name properties. The Company also designs, markets and
distributes its own line of proprietary toys.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared with the three months ended June 30,
1995

 The Company's net sales increased 51% to approximately $45.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from approximately $30.4 million in the 1995
period. Domestic net sales of girls' toys increased approximately $9.6 million
in the second quarter of 1996 from the 1995 period primarily due to initial
shipments of the Company's expanded promotional doll line in the second
quarter of 1996 as well as continued sales of products which were introduced
in 1995. Domestic net sales of other products decreased approximately $4.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due to a decrease
in domestic net sales of boys' products, partially offset by an increase in
domestic net sales of activity products. International sales of boys' products
accounted for most of the $10.6 million increase in international sales during
the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the second quarter of 1995.

 Gross profit increased 24% to approximately $22.9 million for the second
quarter of 1996 from approximately $18.4 million in the second quarter of
1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to approximately
50% in the second quarter of 1996 from approximately 61% in the second quarter
of 1995 due to changes in the Company's product mix and the effect of a
higher percentage of international sales, which typically has a lower gross
margin than domestic sales, in the 1996 period.

 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 42% to approximately
$13.0 million (approximately 28% of net sales) in the second quarter of 1996
from approximately $9.1 million (approximately 30% of net sales) in the
second quarter of 1995. The increase was due to increased royalties,
advertising and miscellaneous selling and administrative expenses as a result
of sales growth, and additional salaries and consulting expense attributable
to the Company's expanded product lines.


Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with the six months ended June 30,
1995

 The Company's net sales increased 44% to approximately $84.2 million for the
first six months of 1996 from approximately $58.3 million in the first six
months of 1995. Domestic net sales of girls' toys increased approximately
$17.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to the introduction of
the Company's new promotional doll line as well as continued sales of products
which were introduced in 1995. Domestic net sales of activity toys increased
approximately $10.0 million in the first six months of 1996 due primarily to
kite sales from the new Spectra Star division. Domestic net sales of other
products decreased approximately $18.1 million primarily due to a decrease in
sales of boys' products. International sales of boys' toys accounted for most
of the $16.8 million increase in international sales for the first six months
of 1996 as compared to the first six months of 1995.

                                       8



     
<PAGE>


     Gross profit increased 26% to approximately $41.5 million for the first
six months of 1996 from approximately $32.9 million in the year ago period.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to approximately 49% in
the first six months of 1996 from approximately 56% in the year ago period due
to changes in the Company's product mix and the effect of a higher percentage
of international sales, which typically has a lower gross margin than domestic
sales, in the 1996 period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 44% to
approximately $24.3 million (approximately 29% of net sales) in the first six
months of 1996 from approximately $16.9 million (approximately 29% of net
sales) in the first six months of 1995. The increase was due to increased
royalties, advertising and miscellaneous selling and administrative expenses
as a result of sales growth, and additional salaries and consulting expense
attributable to the Company's expanded product lines.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.9 million in
the first six months of 1996, while net cash provided by operating activities
was approximately $18.3 million in the first six months of 1995. The net
decrease results primarily from increased sales during the first six months of
1996, the receivables which, due to industry dating practices , were not due
as of June 30, 1996.

     On March 2, 1995, the Company completed an IPO by issuing 2,750,000 new
shares of its Class A Common Stock at $18 per share. The net proceeds to
the Company of $44.1 million, after deducting fees and expenses, were used to
pay outstanding amounts due under subordinated notes which totalled
approximately $15.1 million in principal and approximately $2.0 million in
interest, with the balance used for working capital and general corporate
purposes.

     In March, 1996, the Company acquired, pursuant to a put right, 53,030
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $1.4 million. The present
value of the remaining Preferred Stock was approximately $1.6 million as of
June 30, 1996. The Company utilized available cash to redeem the Preferred
Stock.

     In March, 1995, the Company entered into a three year $30 million
revolving line of credit with a syndicate of banks for which The Chase
Manhattan Bank (formerly named Chemical Bank) serves as administrative agent.
Substantially all of the assets of the Company were pledged to secure
borrowings under this credit facility. Borrowings under the credit facility
bear interest at either The Chase Manhattan Bank's alternate base rate or at
the Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is 3/4
of 1% to 1% to be determined based on the Company's financial performance. The
credit facility requires the Company to pay a commitment fee of 3/8 of 1% per
annum on the average daily unused portion of the credit facility. The Company
had no outstanding indebtedness under the line of credit as of August 13,
1996.

     The credit facility contains various financial covenants, as well as
restrictions, on new indebtedness, prepaying or amending subordinated debt,
acquisitions and similar investments, the sale or transfer of assets, capital
expenditures, limitations on restricted payments, dividends, issuing
guarantees and creating liens. The credit facility also requires an annual
reduction, commencing January 1, 1996, of outstanding borrowings to zero for a
period of 45 consecutive days, commencing during the first six months of each
calendar year. In addition, the credit facility also requires that (a) Marvel
continue to control the Company and (b) the toy license agreement between the
Company and Marvel remain in effect. The credit facility is not guaranteed by
Marvel.

 Certain indebtedness of Marvel and Marvel's direct and indirect parent
companies impose restrictions that limit the ability of Marvel and its
subsidiaries, including the Company, to incur debt, make restricted payments,
enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or transfer assets.

     On August 13, 1996, the Company sold 700,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock at a price to the public of $15.00 per share. As part of such offering,
Marvel, a principal stockholder, also sold 2,500,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the new
shares of Class A Common Stock, estimated at approximately $9.1 million after
expenses and underwriting discounts, to fund a portion of its
capital commitment to Marvel Studios, an entity to be formed with
Marvel to facilitate the release of feature film, television programming and
other media and theatrical productions based on Marvel's characters. The
Company intends to fulfill its commitment by purchasing, from time to time,
Preferred Equity Interests in Marvel Studios. Pending such use, the net
proceeds are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate
purposes.

 The Company believes that it has sufficient funds available from operating
activities, borrowings under the credit facility and proceeds from the stock
offering to meet peak working capital needs and capital expenditure
requirements for the forseeable future.
