                                  THE COMPANY

          YES! Entertainment Corporation ("YES!" or the "Company") develops,
manufactures and markets toys and other entertainment products, including a
variety of interactive and educational products, YES! applies innovative
technology available in other industries to design products that are fun for
children and build on their natural creativity.  Most of YES!'s products target
children between the ages of two and twelve, a market of over 45 million in
North America.

          YES! has introduced several lines of products since being founded in
December 1992. A substantial portion of the Company's current products are
marketed under the YES! Gear(TM) brand. YES! Gear is comprised of the Company's
Yak Bak(TM), Mega Mouth(TM), and Power Penz(TM) lines of products. These
products, which include both children's electronic and audio products together
with functional toys, are designed to appeal to kids eight to twelve years of
age with their high impact design and unique play activities. The Company also
markets a number of interactive published products. These include Comes to Life
Books(R), an audio player and line of books with embedded audio disks, that
allows pre and early-readers to "read" along as the characters in the books read
their story to the child. Yes! Interactive Books(TM), a line of books and
interactive playsets that encourage a love of books using proven play patterns,
and T.V. Teddy(R), a plush bear that interacts with encoded video programming.
The Company also markets a line of electronic learning products under a license
from Nickelodeon(R), the popular children's television network.

          In 1996, the Company expects to introduce a number of new product
lines for children. These include the Mrs. Fields(R) Baking Factory, a toy oven
in which children can prepare for their family cookies, muffins and brownies
using delicious mixes developed in conjunction with the Mrs. Fields Development
Corporation, T.R.A.P.S.(R), a line of remotely activated pranks and sound
effects, and Pull Me Pals(TM), a line of plush toys with an extendible neck or
body (introduced in the spring of 1996). The Company also expects to directly
address the teen market for the first time with a new line of communication
products marketed under the name V-Link is designed to be a short-range, toll-
free radiophone system that includes voice-messaging, conference call and
private conversation features.

          YES! was incorporated in California in September 1992 and began
operations in November 1992.  The Company generated net revenues of $55.7
million, $36.4 million and $25.9 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company has incurred operating losses from its inception through the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $40.1
million at December 31, 1995.
<PAGE>
 
          The Company's initial public offering of Common Stock occurred in June
1995 at which time the Company's Common Stock and Redeemable Common Stock
Purchase Warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering ("IPO
Warrants") commenced trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  The Company's
Common Stock and IPO Warrants were included on the Nasdaq National Market in
November 1995.  All of the outstanding IPO Warrants were exercised in December
1995 and January 1996 at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.  Pursuant to the
exercise of the IPO Warrants, the Company raised approximately $19.8 million.

          The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries include YES! Entertainment
Products, Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation, Familywise, Inc., a California
corporation, and YES! Entertainment International, a Cayman Islands corporation.
In December 1992, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Intelligy Corporation, a California corporation, but did not continue
Intelligy's principal business operations in any form.   The Company's executive
offices are located at 3875 Hopyard Road, Pleasanton, California 94588 and its

                                 RISK FACTORS

          The securities offered hereby are speculative in nature and involve a
high degree of risk.  Accordingly, in analyzing an investment in there
securities, prospective investors should carefully consider, along with the
other matters referred to herein, the following risk factors. No investor should
participate in this Offering unless such investor can afford the loss of his or
her entire investment.

          Limited Operating History; History of Losses; Accumulated Deficit.
The Company has a short operating history, having commenced operation in
November 1992 and shipped its first product in July 1993.  Although the Company
has achieved approximately $118 million in cumulative net sales through December
31, 1995, the Company incurred substantial operating losses in 1993 and 1994 and
at December 31, 1995 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $40 million.
While the Company achieved an operating profit in 1995, future profitability is
dependent upon the Company's ability to successfully and timely introduce,
finance and manufacture its new products, successfully market its existing
products and collect trade receivables in a timely manner.

          Dependence on 1996 Products.  In 1996, the Company has introduced and
expects to commence sales of a number of new product lines, such as the V-Link
and the Mrs. Fields Baking Factory.  In addition, the Company also expects to
expand its existing product lines in 1996, particularly its YES! Gear line of
products.  The final development and tooling of many of these new product lines
and products has not been completed and manufacturing in commercial quantities
has not commenced.  The Company expects that completing the development and
commencing the manufacture of its 1996 product lines will place great demands on
management and other Company resources.  If the Company is not able to complete
the development, tooling, manufacture and successful marketing of its 1996
product lines, the Company's operating results and financial condition would be
materially adversely affected.

          Dependence on YES! Gear.  In 1995, 47% of the Company's sales were
derived from the Company's Yak Bak line of products, and 58% were derived from
the Company's YES! Gear line of products (which also includes the Mega Mouth and
Power Penz products).  The Company expects the Yak Bak line of products
specifically and YES! Gear generally to continue to account for a substantial
percentage of the Company's business.  In addition, the Company is aware that a
number of toy manufacturers are attempting to duplicate the Company's success in
this area of product by introducing similar lines of products in 1996.  While
the Company believes it will compete favorably with these new products on the
basis of styling, quality, product depth and promotional support, there can be
assurance that the sale of these competitive products will not impact the sale
of the YES! Gear line, particularly on the basis of price.

          Dependence on Manufacturing Facilities Based in People's Republic of
China.  The Company contracts for the manufacture of substantially all of its
products with entities based in Hong Kong whose manufacturing facilities are
located in the People's Republic of China.  In 1997, Hong Kong will become a
sovereign territory of the People's Republic of China.  While the People's
Republic of China has provided assurances that Hong Kong will be allowed to
maintain critical economic and tax policies, there can be no assurance that
political or social tensions may develop in Hong Kong that would disrupt this
process.  In addition, recent tensions in the Taiwan Straits between the Peoples
Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the United States'
involvement therein, could result either in a disruption in manufacturing in the
China mainland or in the imposition of tariffs or duties on Chinese manufactured
goods.  Either event would have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to
obtain its products or on the cost of these products, respectively, such that
its operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely
affected.

          Sales Concentration Risk.  The Company's ten largest customers
accounted for approximately 87%, 68% and 76% of net sales for the years ending
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  For the year ended December 31,
1995, the Company's two largest customers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Toys "R"
Us, Inc., each accounted for approximately 27% of net sales.  For the year ended
December 31, 1994, the same two customers accounted for approximately 21% and
14% of net sales, respectively.  Toys "R" Us, Inc. accounted for approximately
41% of net sales in the year ended December 31, 1993.  While the Company intends
to expand distribution to new accounts, the Company expects to continue to
depend on a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of
its sales. Significant reductions in sales to any one or more of the Company's
largest customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results. Because orders in the toy industry are generally cancelable
at any time
<PAGE>
 
without penalty, there can be no assurance that present or future customers will
not terminate their purchase arrangements with the Company or significantly
change, reduce or delay the amount of products ordered from the Company. Any
such termination of a significant customer relationship or change, reduction or
delay in significant orders could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operating results.

          Price Protection; Stock Balancing; Reliance of Timely Payment.  In
connection with the introduction of new products, many companies in the toy
industry discount prices of existing products, provide for certain advertising
allowances and credits or give other sales incentives to their customers,
particularly their  most significant customers.  In addition, in order to
address working capital requirements, sales of inventory, changes in marketing
trends and other issues, many companies in the toy industry allow retailers to
return slow-moving products for credit, or if the manufacturer lowers the prices
of its products, to provide price adjustments for inventories on hand at the
time the price change occurs.  The Company has made such accommodations in the
past, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not make
accommodations such as stock balancing, returns, other allowances or price
protection adjustments to a significant degree in the future.  Any such
accommodations by the Company in the future could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's operating results.  In addition, in the past certain of the
Company's retail customers have delayed payment beyond the date such payment is
due.  Delays in payments from retail customers in the future could materially
impact the Company's anticipated cash flow to the detriment of the Company's
business.

          Short Product Cycles.  Consumer preferences in the toy industry are
continuously changing and are difficult to predict. Few products achieve market
acceptance, and even when they do achieve commercial success, products typically
have short life cycles. There can be no assurance that (i) new products
introduced by the Company will achieve any significant degree of market
acceptance, (ii) acceptance, if achieved, will be sustained for any significant
amount of time, or (iii) such products' life cycles will be sufficient to permit
the Company to recover development, manufacturing, marketing and other costs
associated therewith. In addition, sales of the Company's existing product lines
are expected to decline over time, and may decline faster than expected unless
existing products are enhanced or new product lines are introduced. Failure of
new product lines to achieve or sustain market acceptance would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operating results and financial condition.

          International Business Risk.  The Company relies exclusively either on
foreign distributors or foreign sales agents to market and sell the Company's
products outside the United States. Although the Company's international sales
personnel work closely with its foreign distributors and foreign sales agents,
the Company cannot directly control such entities' sales and marketing
activities and, accordingly, cannot directly manage the Company's product sales
in foreign markets. With respect to sales made through a foreign sales agent,
the Company also must incur significant marketing expense and, for non-F.O.B.
sales, significant warehousing and inventory expense. A significant portion of
these expenses must be incurred prior to determining whether the Company's
products will be well received in that market and may not be recouped in the
event the sales in the market fall below the Company's expectations. In
addition, the Company's international sales may be disrupted by currency
fluctuations or other events beyond the Company's control, including political
or regulatory changes.

          Dependence on Restrictive Facility.  The Company has entered into an
Accounts Receivable Management and Security Agreement (the "ARM Agreement"),
with the BNY Financial Corporation. The Company is dependent on the ARM
Agreement to meet its financial needs during 1996, due in large part to the
seasonality of the Company's business whereby the Company is required to finance
the manufacture of a substantial portion of its products in the summer and
autumn but does not collect on the sale of these products until the fourth
quarter of that year and the first quarter of the following year. Under the
terms of the ARM Agreement, BNY Financial Corporation has taken a first priority
security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets, including its
intellectual property. The ARM Agreement also contains a number of restrictive
covenants, including covenants concerning the requirement that Messrs.
Kingsborough and Kershner remain active in the management of the Company. In the
event the Company falls out of compliance with the ARM Agreement, and BNY
Financial Corporation does not provide financing as contemplated, the Company
may not be able to finance its operations, and its operating results and
financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

          The authorized capital stock of the Company is 202,000,000 shares,
consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, and 2,000,000
shares of preferred stock, no par value ("Preferred Stock"). As of June 25,
1996, 13,909,431 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. No shares of Preferred
Stock are outstanding as of the date hereof.

COMMON STOCK

          The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of
preferred stock, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably
such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of
funds legally available for the payment of dividends. The Company has not paid
cash dividends and has no present plans to do so. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, subject to the liquidation preferences
of preferred stock, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive an
amount equal to $0.01 per share of Common Stock, plus any declared and unpaid
dividends, in addition to being entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining after payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences of any then
outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock have no
preemptive rights or rights to convert their Common Stock into any other
securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the
Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized
and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

          The Company's authorized shares of preferred stock may be issued in
one or more series, and the Board of Directors is authorized, without further
action by the shareholders, to designate the rights, preferences, limitations
and restrictions of and upon shares of each series, including dividend, voting,
redemption and conversion rights. The Board of Directors also may designate par
value, preferences in liquidation, and the number of shares constituting any
series. The Company believes that the availability of preferred stock issuable
in series will provide increased flexibility for structuring possible future
financings and acquisitions, if any, and in meeting other corporate needs. It is
not possible to state the actual effect of the authorization and issuance of any
series of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of Common Stock until the
Board of Directors determines the specific terms, rights, and preferences of a
series of preferred stock. However, such effects might include, among other
things, restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of
the Common Stock, or impairing the liquidation rights of such shares without
further action by holders of the Common Stock. In addition, under various
circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of
facilitating, as well as impeding or discouraging, a merger, tender offer, proxy
contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company's
securities or the removal of incumbent management. Issuance of preferred stock
could also adversely effect the market price of the Common Stock. The Company
has no present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

          The transfer agent and registrar for the Company's securities is
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York, and its
telephone number is (212) 509-4000.

                                  DISTRIBUTION

RESALE OFFERING

          This Prospectus relates to 320,729 shares of Common Stock (the
"Conversion Note Common Stock") issued to certain securityholders by the Company
in connection with the conversion of approximately $1.4 million of convertible
subordinated promissory notes. 

          Pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
part, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,875,000 shares of
Common Stock and warrants to purchase 2,875,000 shares of Common Stock. In
connection with the initial public offering, the Company also granted the
Underwriters a Purchase Option to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock and
warrants exercisable for an additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock. Unless
the context otherwise requires, the term "this offering" herein refers to the
Company's firm commitment initial public offering.

          The Company has covenanted to use its best efforts to keep the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part effective in order to
permit the eventual resale of the Conversion Note Common Stock upon expiration
of or release from the lock-up agreements with the Underwriter. The holders of
such Conversion Note Common Stock may sell the securities from time to time
after such expiration or release on the Nasdaq National Market in regular
brokerage transactions, in transactions directly with market makers, in certain
privately-negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods at
fixed prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale or at negotiated prices. The holders of such Conversion Note Common Stock
may effect such transactions by selling Conversion Note Common Stock to or
through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the
form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the holders of Conversion
Note Common Stock or the purchasers of Conversion Note Common Stock for whom
such broker-dealers may act as agent, or to whom they sell as principal, or both
(which compensation, as to a particular broker-dealer, may be in excess of
customer commissions).

          The holders of Conversion Note Common Stock have advised the Company
that no sale or distribution, other than as disclosed herein, will be effected
until after the Resale Prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or
supplemented, if required, to set forth the terms thereof. The holders of
Conversion Note Common Stock have also agreed that if any holder of such
Registrable Securities shall propose to sell any Conversion Note Common Stock
pursuant to the Registration Statement, it shall notify the Company of its
intent to do so at least three full business days prior to such sale. At any
time within such period, the Company may refuse to permit the holder of such
Registrable Securities to resell any Conversion Note Common Stock pursuant to
the Registration Statement. In order to exercise this right, the Company must
deliver a certificate in writing to the holder of such Conversion Note Common
Stock to the effect that a delay in such sale is necessary because a sale
pursuant to such Registration Statement in its then-current form could
constitute a violation of the federal securities laws. In no event shall such
delay exceed ten trading days, provided that if, prior to the expiration of such
ten trading day period, the Company delivers a certificate in writing to the
holder of such securities to the effect that a further delay in such sale beyond
such ten trading day period is necessary because a sale pursuant to such
Registration Statement in its then-current form could constitute a violation of
federal securities laws, the Company may refuse to permit the holder of such
securities to resell any Conversion Note Common Stock pursuant to the
Registration Statement for an additional period not to exceed ten trading days.

          Upon receipt of the notice from the holder of Conversion Note Common
Stock, the Company shall deliver to such holder a current version of this Resale
Prospectus, appropriately amended to reflect such holder under the caption
"Principal and Selling Securityholders." No sale may be made by the holders of
Conversion Note Common Stock without delivery to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities of a current version of this Resale Prospectus.

          The holders of Conversion Note Common Stock, and any other persons who
participate in the sale of the Conversion Note Common Stock, may be deemed to be
"underwriters" as defined in the Act. Any commission paid or any discounts or
concessions allowed to such persons, and any profits received on resale of the
Conversion Note Common Stock, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Act.

                    INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS


ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 317 of the California Corporations Code authorizes a corporation to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees or other agents in terms
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification (including reimbursement for
expenses incurred) under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and
Bylaws, as amended, provided for indemnification of its directors, officers,
employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the California
Corporations Code. In addition, the Registrant has entered into Indemnification
Agreements with its directors and several officers. Reference is also made to
Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement with GKN Securities Corp., indemnifying
officers and directors of the Registrant against certain liabilities. The
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 17, 1994
entered into by the Registrant and certain holders (the "Holders") of its Common
and Preferred Stock, provides for cross-indemnification of the Holders and of
the Registrant, its officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under
the Securities Act or otherwise.

     The indemnification provision in the Bylaws and the indemnification
agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors and executive
officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant's
officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 15 of this Registration
Statement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
