          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

("IPO") by issuing 2,750,000 new shares of its class A Common Stock ("Common

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. On March 18, 1996,
53,030 shares of the Preferred Stock were redeemed for cash at an aggregate
present value of approximately $1.4 million. The present value of the
remaining Preferred Stock was approximately $1.6 million as of March 31, 1996.
The Company utilized available cash to finance the Acquisition and the
redemption of the Preferred Stock.

          The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Based on a preliminary allocation of purchase price, the fair
value of the assets acquired is summarized below.

                Current assets.....................   $3,470
                Noncurrent assets..................     $521

          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 March 31, 1996 compared with the three months ended
March 31, 1995

     The Company's net sales increased 38% to approximately $38.4 million for
the first quarter of 1996 from approximately $27.9 million in the first
quarter of 1995. Sales in the activity toys category increased approximately
$6.9 million  in the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to kite sales from the
new Spectra Star division, partially offset by a decrease in sales of various
discontinued activity toys. Sales in the girls' toys category increased
approximately $6.3 million in the first quarter of 1996 due to the introduction
of a new promotional doll line as well as the continued sales of products which
were introduced in late 1995. Net sales of other products decreased
approximately $2.7 million due to the closeout of various items in the first
quarter of 1995 which did not recur in the first quarter of 1996.

     Gross profit increased 29% to approximately $18.6 million for the first
quarter of 1996 from approximately $14.5 million in the first quarter of 1995.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to approximately 49% in
the first quarter of 1996 from approximately 52% in the first 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 47% to
approximately $11.4 million (approximately 30% of net sales) in the first
quarter of 1996 from approximately $7.7 million (approximately 28% of net
sales) in the first quarter of 1995. The increase of $3.7 million 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 by operating activities was approximately $7.4 million in
the first quarter of 1996, while net cash provided by operating activities was
approximately $14.3 million in the first quarter of 1995. The net decrease
results primarily from increased sales in late 1995 and in the first quarter
of 1996, the receivables which, due to industry dating practices in 1995/1996,
were not due as of March 31, 1996. The decrease in the Company's current
liabilities from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996 is due to the higher costs
of associated sales occurring in the fourth quarter of 1995 vs. sales occurring
in the first quarter of 1996.

     On March 2, 1995, the Company completed an IPO by issuing 2,750,000 new
shares of its 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, 1995, the Company entered into a three year $30 million
revolving line of credit with a syndicate of banks for which 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 Chemical 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 May 3, 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 a majority of the voting power of the Company's Common
Stock and (b) the toy license agreement between the Company and Marvel remain
in effect. The credit facility is not guaranteed by Marvel.

     The Company believes that it has sufficient funds available from
operating activities and borrowings under the credit facility to meet peak
working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements.
