Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Thousands of Dollars)
(Unaudited)
(1) In the opinion of management and subject to year-end audit, the
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.
The six months ended June 30, 1996 consisted of 26 weeks while the six
months ended July 2, 1995 consisted of 27 weeks.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996, are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
(2) During the second quarter of 1995, the Company discontinued its
efforts, begun in 1992, related to the development of a mass-market virtual
reality game system. The impact of this decision on the quarter was a
pretax charge of $31,100. (See further discussion in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
(3) Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding
during each period. Common stock equivalents include stock options and
warrants for the period prior to their exercise. Under the treasury stock
method, the unexercised options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at
the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds
are then used to purchase common stock at the average market price during
the period.
For each of the reported periods the difference between primary and
fully diluted earnings per share was not significant.

NET REVENUES
- - ------------
Net revenues for the second quarter and six months of 1996 were $511,609
and $1,050,294, respectively, up from the $481,854 and $1,008,357 reported
for the same periods of 1995. Continuing the first quarter 1996 trends, the
increased volumes were primarily attributable to growth in boys' toys and
games experienced within the United States. During the quarter, the
Company's international operations reported increased local currency
revenues in most of the major markets, although these were insufficient to
overcome the approximate $7,000 adverse impact of the strengthened U.S.
dollar and the decreased revenues in France and Germany.
COST OF SALES
- - -------------
The Company is receiving the anticipated benefits from reduced prices on
certain raw material commodities, including plastics and paper. In spite of
this, the 1996 gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage of net
revenues, decreased in comparison to the 1995 levels; for the quarter to
54.2% from 55.6%, and for the six months to 55.1% from 55.7%. During the
quarter, the Company had an increased amount of sales made at less than
normal margins. Absent the impact of such second quarter sales in the major
markets, the gross profit margins for the quarter and six months of 1996
were 57.3% and 56.5%, respectively, up from 56.7% and 56.2% for the same
periods of 1995.
EXPENSES
- - --------
Royalties, research and development expenses for both the second quarter
and six months decreased when expressed as a percentage of net revenues
although increasing in amount. The royalty component increased in both
percentage and amount. In addition to reflecting the Company's revenue
growth, the increases can also be attributed to the mix of products sold
with more revenue being derived from items carrying higher royalty rates.
Research and development was $35,391 and $65,510 for the quarter and six
months of 1996, respectively, compared with $34,864 and $67,428 for the
same periods of 1995.
HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Thousands of dollars)
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company discontinued its efforts,
begun in 1992, related to the development of a mass-market virtual reality
game system. The impact of this decision on the second quarter of 1995 was
a charge of $31,100, the estimated costs associated with such action.
Approximately half of the charge resulted from the expensing of software
development costs related to both the operating system and games for the
system. These costs were previously capitalized under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. The remaining amount
represented provisions for discontinuation costs, including the termination
of contractual agreements relating to the development of the system and
games, the write-off of certain fixed assets and various other
cancellation/termination costs. Substantially all of these costs have now
been paid.
Advertising expense for both the quarter and six months decreased in amount
and also when expressed as a percentage of net revenues. For the second
quarter and six months of 1996, the amounts were $66,171 and $136,447,
respectively, compared with $68,164 and $138,397 in the same periods of
1995. Expressed as a percentage of net revenues, 1996 was 12.9% and 13.0%
while 1995 was 14.1% and 13.7%. The decreases in the current year reflect
the lower proportion of the Company's revenues arising from the
international marketing units, which generally have a higher advertising to
sales ratio than the domestic groups, as well as the impact of sales made
at less than normal margins, which products are generally not advertised.
The Company's selling distribution and administration expenses increased in
amount during both the second quarter and six months of 1996, when compared
with the same periods of 1995. When expressed as a percentage of net
revenues, in the second quarter of 1996 it decreased from the 1995 level
and for the six months, remained constant. The decrease in percentage
reflects the Company's efforts to better leverage these costs.
NONOPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE
- - -----------------------------
Interest expense during the second quarter and six months of 1996 decreased
from the comparable 1995 levels reflecting both lower interest rates and
the Company's reduced borrowing requirements.
Other income, net, also declined during both the quarter and six months,
again reflecting the lower interest rates being experienced. Also impacting
the comparison of this category of expense during the quarter was the
negative impact of foreign currency transactions.

Condition and Results of Operations
(Thousands of dollars)
INCOME TAXES
- - ------------
Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax earnings for the six months of
1996 and 1995 was 37.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The decrease in the
effective rate in 1996 reflects changes in the Company's operations as well
as the impact of certain strategies implemented during 1996. The lower rate
for the second quarter results from the adjustment to the new effective tax
rate.
OTHER INFORMATION
- - -----------------
During the past several years the Company has experienced a shift in its
revenue pattern wherein the second half of the year has grown in
significance to its overall business and within that half the fourth
quarter has become more prominent. The Company expects that this trend will
continue. This concentration increases the risk of (a) underproduction of
popular items, (b) overproduction of less popular items and (c) failure to
achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules. The business of the
Company is characterized by customer order patterns which vary from year to
year largely because of differences in the degree of consumer acceptance of
a product line, product availability, marketing strategies and inventory
levels of retailers and differences in overall economic conditions. Also,
more retailers are using quick response inventory management practices
which results in fewer orders being placed in advance and more orders, when
placed, for immediate delivery. As a result, comparisons of unshipped
orders on any date in a given year with those at the same date in a prior
year are not necessarily indicative of sales for the entire year. In
addition, it is a general industry practice that orders are subject to
amendment or cancellation by customers prior to shipment. At the end of its
fiscal July (July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995) the Company's unshipped
orders were approximately $890,000 and $930,000, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------
Because of the seasonality of the Company's business coupled with certain
customer incentives, mainly in the form of extended payment terms, the
interim cash flow statements are not representative of those which may be
expected for the full year. As a result of these extended payment terms,
the majority of the Company's cash collections occur late in the fourth
quarter and early in the first quarter of the subsequent year. While a
large portion of these receivables are of a quality which would allow their
sale, alleviating the need for much of its interim financing, the Company
believes it to be more cost effective to use its available funds and short-
term borrowings to finance them. As receivables are collected late in the
fourth quarter and through the first quarter of the subsequent year, cash
flow from operations becomes positive and is used to repay a significant
portion of the short-term borrowings.
HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Thousands of dollars)
As a result, management believes that on an interim basis, rather than
discussing its cash flows, a better understanding of its liquidity and
capital resources can be obtained through a discussion of the various
balance sheet categories. Also, as several of the major categories,
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and
short-term borrowings, fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter,
again due to the seasonality of its business and the extended payment terms
offered, management believes that a comparison to the comparable period in
the prior year is generally more meaningful than a comparison to the prior
year-end.
Receivables were approximately $30,000 greater than at the same time in
1995, largely reflecting the Company's increased revenues in 1996. When
expressed as days sales outstanding, current year receivables are the same
as those of a year ago, which is an improvement from the first quarter when
days sales outstanding were almost 10% greater than 1995. The growth in
inventories which has been evident during the past year moderated somewhat
during the second quarter. The approximate $34,000 increase from the prior
year reflects the Company's planned actions necessary to have available
product to provide faster and more complete shipment of customer orders.
Other assets, as a group, increased from their level of a year ago,
primarily resulting from the Company's acquisitions of product rights and
licenses during the most recent twelve months, partially offset by twelve
additional months of amortization expense.
The Company attempts to keep its cash and cash equivalents at the lowest
level possible whenever it has short-term borrowings, although at times the
cash available and the borrowing requirement may be in different countries
and currencies which may make it impractical to substitute one for the
other. The Company's net borrowings (short-term borrowings less cash and
cash equivalents), at $218,874 were approximately $48,000, or 18% less than
last year, again reflecting funds generated from operations within the most
recent twelve months available to reduce such borrowings. This decrease
occurred even after the repurchase of approximately 1,300,000 shares of the
Company's common stock during the past twelve months. At June 30, 1996, the
Company had committed unsecured lines of credit totaling approximately
$440,000 available to it. It also had available uncommitted lines
approximating $900,000. The Company believes that these amounts are
adequate for its needs. Of these available lines, approximately $315,000
was in use at June 30, 1996.

RECENT EVENT
- - ------------
On July 30, 1996, the Company announced two steps taken to provide
strategic direction as it moves to become more brands driven and globally
focused. First, the establishment of an Office of the Chairman and second,
plans for a new Global Brands Board and a Global Operations Board. To this
point, the Company has been structured as a multi-national company, with
the focus on developing product and programs for individual countries and
regions. The new focus will allow the development of brands globally, while
still recognizing regional differences. The new Global Brands Board will
provide greater coordination of key brands from a world-wide perspective
while the Global Operations Board will develop a blueprint for the global
coordination of production and sourcing requirements.
In addition to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Alan G. Hassenfeld,
the Office of the Chairman will consist of: Alfred J. Verrecchia, Executive
Vice President and President of Global Operations, who will also chair the
Global Operations Board; George Ditomassi, Executive Vice President and
President Global Innovation; Harold P. Gordon, Vice Chairman; John T.
O'Neill, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Norman
Walker, Executive Vice President and President International, who will also
chair the Global Brands Board. Another member of the Office of the Chairman
is Adam Klein, who has been elected Executive Vice President of Corporate
Strategy. Mr Klein comes to the Company after eighteen years of strategy
consulting, including time with the Boston Consulting Group and teaching at
Harvard Business School. Also to become a member of the Office of the
Chairman will be the President of Global Marketing, a new position for
which an executive search is in progress.
