1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The year-end balance sheet data
was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 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 considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the consolidated financial position and interim results of Play By Play Toys &
Novelties, Inc. (the "Company") as of and for the periods presented have been
included. Certain amounts in the financial statements for the prior period have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Because the
Company's business is seasonal, results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of those which may be expected for a full year.

   The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with
the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997, which is on file
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

   Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares (when dilutive) outstanding during each period.
Common equivalent shares include stock options, warrants and convertible debt.
Earnings per share assuming full dilution is determined by dividing net income
plus tax-effected convertible debt interest by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year after giving effect for common stock
equivalents arising from stock options, warrants and for convertible debt
assumed converted to common stock.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   On December 2, 1997, the Company sold 2,300,000 shares of its Common Stock in
a follow-on public offering at a price of $16.00 per share. The total number of
shares sold includes 300,000 related to the underwriters' over-allotment option,
which was exercised in full. The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of
Common Stock amounted to approximately $34 million after deducting underwriter
discounts and other expenses. Portions of the net proceeds were used to repay
indebtedness of approximately $21.4 million outstanding under the revolving line
of credit under the Revolving Credit Term Loan with Letter of Credit Facility
with a bank syndicated group led by The Chase Manhattan Bank. Approximately
$13.0 million has been invested in short-term, interest bearing instruments.

   NET SALES. Net sales for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1997 increased
46.4%, or $18.5 million, to $58.4 million from $39.9 million in the comparable
period in fiscal 1997. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to
increased domestic retail growth of 125.9% and international retail growth of
123.9%. Domestic net toy sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 43.4%, or $15.3 million, to $50.6
million, and international toy sales increased 86.5%, or $3.2 million, to $7.0
million.

   Net sales of licensed products for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased
42.9%, or $9.6 million, to $32.0 million from $22.4 million in the comparable
period of fiscal 1997. The increase in licensed product sales was primarily
attributable to growth of sales of the Company's licensed products to both
retail and amusement customers, and the Company's European operations, which
accounted for $4.5 million of the Company's net sales of licensed products for
the first quarter of fiscal 1998, a 68.6% increase from the comparable period of
fiscal 1997. Within licensed products, sales of Looney Tunes' characters
increased 187.9%, or $17.4 million, to $26.7 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 from $9.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1997. Net sales
of the "TORNADO TAZ(TM)" accounted for $7.7 million, or 13.3%, of the Company's
net toy sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Net sales of PLAY-FACES(R)
decreased 58.6%, or $4.7 million, to $3.3 million, from $8.0 million in the
comparable period of fiscal 1997. Net sales of non-licensed products for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased 54.0%, or $9.0 million, to $25.6 million
from $16.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1997. Net sales of
non-licensed stuffed toys increased 

                                       8
<PAGE>
30.8%, or $4.5 million, to $19.0 million from $14.5 million in the comparable
period in fiscal 1997. The Company began selling "TALKIN' TOTS(TM)" during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. Net sales of the "TALKIN' TOTS(TM)" accounted for
$5.5 million, or 9.6%, of the Company's net toy sales for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998.

   Net toy sales to retail customers for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
fiscal 1997 accounted for 43.9%, or $25.6 million, and 28.5%, or $11.4 million,
respectively, of the Company's net sales. The 125.7%, or $14.3 million, increase
in sales to retail customers from the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 is primarily attributable to the sales of the newly
introduced "TALKIN' TOTS(TM)" and the "TORNADO TAZ(TM)" for the holiday season
which was partially offset by a decrease in sales of PLAY-FACES(R).

   Net toy sales to amusement customers for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
fiscal 1997 accounted for 54.8%, or $32.0 million, and 69.5%, or $27.7 million,
respectively, of the Company's net sales. The 15.6%, or $4.3 million, increase
in dollar volume is primarily attributable the strong European market, which
accounted for $4.3 million, a 68.2% increase from the comparable period in
fiscal 1997.

   GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 79.9% to $20.5 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $11.4 million in the comparable period in fiscal
1997, due to the overall increase in the Company's net sales. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased 6.6% from 28.6% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 to 35.2% for the comparable period in fiscal 1998. This increase was
principally a result of increased European sales, which carry a higher profit
margin, and from higher domestic retail margins from the television promoted
items.

   SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately 76.8% to $14.0 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $7.9 million in the comparable period in
fiscal 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to increased selling
expenses of $6.1 million such as, television advertisement costs of $3.9
million, increased payroll related costs of $1.1 million, professional and
consulting fees, product development expenses and bad debt expense associated
with increased sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, the selling, general
and administrative expenses increased to 24.0% for the first quarter of fiscal
1998 from 19.9% in the comparable period in fiscal 1997.

   INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME. Interest expense increased 12.8% or
approximately $147,000, to $1.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998
from $1.1 million in the comparable period in fiscal 1997 primarily due to the
convertible debt interest expense of $300,000 offset by a decrease in the
interest expense for the revolving loans under the Credit Facility.

   INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1998
reflects an effective tax rate of 35.0%, compared to 39.0% for the first quarter
of fiscal 1997. The decrease is attributable primarily to lower tax rates on
international earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   At October 31, 1997, the Company's working capital was $38.6 million compared
to $25.1 million at October 31, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable
to the increase in net sales.

   The Company satisfies its capital requirements and seasonal liquidity
shortfalls with cash flow primarily from borrowings and secondarily from
operations. The Company's primary capital needs have consisted of funding for
acquisitions, acquisitions of inventory, customer receivables, letters of
credit, licenses and international expansion.

   The Company's operating activities provided net cash of $6.9 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 and $6.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal
1997. The cash flow from operations for fiscal 1998 

                                       9
<PAGE>
was primarily affected by net income, changes in accounts receivable, prepaids,
inventory and accounts payable.

   Net cash used in investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 1998
was $600,000 compared to net cash used in investing activities for the
comparable period of fiscal 1997 of $400,000. In the first quarter of fiscal
1998 and 1997, net cash used in investing activities consisted principally of
the purchase of property and equipment of $592,000 and $420,000, respectively.

   Net cash used in financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 1998
and 1997 was $3.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively. During the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, $39.9 million was used in repayment of notes payable on
the revolving line of credit under the Company's Credit Facility was offset by
draw-down of $36.6 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 1997, cash used in
repayment of notes payable on the revolving loan of $31.6 million was partially
offset by draw-down of approximately $28.8 million.

SEASONALITY

   Both the retail and amusement toy industries are inherently seasonal.
Generally, in the past, the Company's sales to the amusement industry have been
highest during the third and fourth fiscal quarters, and collections for those
sales have been highest during the succeeding fiscal quarters. The Company's
sales to the retail toy industry have been highest during its first and fourth
fiscal quarters, and collections from those sales have been highest during the
succeeding quarters. The Company's working capital needs and borrowings to fund
those needs have been highest during the first and fourth fiscal quarters. The
Company's international and domestic operations are also subject to risks due to
inclement weather.
