(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 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.
The results of operations for the twenty-six week period ended June 26, 1994,
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
(2) 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 were assumed to be exercised at
the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds
were 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 1994 were $444,324 and
$933,457, compared to the $515,551 and $1,002,587 reported for the same periods
of 1993. During the quarter, the Company's international revenues were
essentially flat while its domestic revenues decreased approximately 20%.
Domestically, data received from several larger customers indicates that
consumer purchases of the Company's products through the end of June have
increased over 1993 levels. With many retailers moving toward more
sophisticated inventory management techniques, however, this increase has not
yet resulted in a higher level of replacement orders. Additionally, a
comparison with 1993 is adversely impacted by the fact that revenues during the
second quarter of 1993 were at record levels, in part due to the introduction
of certain Jurassic Park(TM) and Barney(R) products in mid-quarter, while 1994
introductions are on a more traditional time-line of late second quarter or
early third quarter. Internationally, many of the Company's units were able to
exceed last year's amounts in their local currencies although this growth was
largely offset by the adverse effect of changed foreign currency translation
rates. Although the dollar has recently weakened against certain currencies,
for the quarter as a whole it was stronger than in the comparable period of
1993. For the three months, the adverse effect of changed foreign currency
translation rates approximated $8,000.
COST OF SALES
- - -------------
The gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage of net revenues, for the
quarter decreased to 54.3% from the 1993 level of 57.0% and for the six months
to 55.9% from 57.2%. This deterioration is largely attributable to the effect
of the decreased domestic sales volumes as well as a less favorable mix of
products sold.
EXPENSES
- - --------
Royalties, research and development expenses for the second quarter and six
months increased as a percentage of revenues and, for the six months, in amount
from 1993 levels. The royalty component decreased in both categories,
reflecting both the effect of reduced revenues and rates on certain 1993
products which carried higher than traditional royalty rates. Research and
development was $32,959 and $61,462 for the second quarter and six months of
1994 compared to $27,113 and $54,101 in the same periods of 1993. These
increases were largely attributable to the Company's domestic units whose
development efforts have been expanded.
HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
(Thousands of dollars)
The current quarter advertising decreased approximately $7,300 from the
comparable 1993 level while for the six months it decreased approximately
$10,600. As a percentage of net revenues, for the quarter it increased to 13.6%
from 13.1% in the same period last year and for the six months it decreased to
13.4% from 13.5% a year ago. The reduction in amounts reflect the reduced
revenues while the increased percentage during the quarter is largely the
result of higher spending to establish selected core brands in certain
international markets.
Both the second quarter and six months selling, distribution and administrative
expenses show decreases from the respective 1993 amounts, while increasing as a
percentage of net revenues. The decreases in amount are partially the result of
lower distribution costs resulting from the lower revenues, while the increases
in percentage are reflective of the fact that most other expenses in this
category are relatively fixed.
NONOPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE
- - -----------------------------
Interest expense decreased from 1993 levels in both the second quarter and the
six months. This decrease reflects the Company's lower borrowing requirements,
partially offset by slightly higher interest rates. The major component of
other income continues to be income from temporary investments. Also included
are various other items, none of which are material, of both income and
expense.
INCOME TAXES
- - ------------
Income tax expense, as a percentage of pretax earnings, was 38.5% for both the
second quarter and six months of 1994, compared with 38.0% in both periods of
1993. This increase primarily results from the third quarter 1993 increase in
the U. S. federal income tax rate from 34% to 35%.
OTHER INFORMATION
- - -----------------
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 of shipment 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. The Company's
unshipped orders were approximately $850,000 at July 24, 1994 compared to
$950,000 at July 25, 1993. 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------
Several of the major balance sheet categories, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and short-term borrowings,
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. This reflects the seasonality
of the Company's business coupled with certain customer incentives, mainly in
the form of extended payment terms. Generally, accounts receivable, inventories
and short-term debt are lower at the end of December and March than at the end
of the other quarters while cash and related amounts are higher. As a result,
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.
Cash and cash equivalents were above their 1993 level which is the result of
the timing of cash receipts and their currency. The Company attempts to keep
its cash at the lowest level possible whenever it has short-term borrowings. At
times, however, 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. Receivables were less than at the same time in 1993
reflecting the Company's reduced revenues, partially offset by a change in
sales mix with a larger percentage being made to customers with extended
payment terms. Inventories were modestly above the level of a year ago as the
Company continues to commit to production at levels sufficient to support its
anticipated second half revenues.
Short-term borrowings, at $129,488 were approximately $77,600 less than last
year, reflecting both the Company's decreased activity and the funds generated
from operations within the most recent twelve months. Other current liabilities
increased marginally, primarily due to timing differences on payments. As part
of the traditional marketing strategies of the toy industry, many sales made
early in the year are not due for payment until the fourth quarter, thus making
it necessary for the Company to borrow significant amounts pending collection
of these receivables. At June 26, 1994, the Company had committed unsecured
lines of credit totaling approximately $450,000 available to it. It also had
available uncommitted lines exceeding $900,000. The Company believes that these
amounts are adequate for its needs. Of these available lines, approximately
$150,000 was in use at June 26, 1994.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- - -------------------
On June 22, 1994, the Company announced that the Executive Committee of its
Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to five million shares of
common stock from time to time in the open market or otherwise. This
authorization is in addition to the 2,445,300 shares of common stock that the
Company is authorized to repurchase pursuant to prior authorization by the
Board. Shares repurchased will be used for general corporate purposes including
funding of the Company's existing stock option plans.

On July 12, 1994, the Company's outstanding warrants, which were issued in
connection with the purchase of assets from Coleco Industries, Inc. in 1989,
expired and prior to this date most had been exercised. Under terms of the
warrants, upon exercise the Company had the option of either issuing shares of
its stock or paying the exercising warrantholder an equivalent amount in cash.
For all but a small number of warrants exercised prior to mid-1993, the Company
elected to pay the equivalent cash amounts, approximating $16,000, rather than
diluting its equity.
On July 18, 1994, in response to a public offer to acquire shares in J.W. Spear
& Sons PLC at a price of 11.50 pounds sterling per share, the Company tendered
all of its approximately 1,400,000 shares. These shares were purchased by the
Company in 1990 at a cost of approximately $9,000.
On July 29, 1994, the Company exchanged its investment in approximately
1,500,000 shares of Virgin Interactive Entertainment Plc (VIE) for
approximately 1,300,000 shares of Blockbuster Entertainment Corporation
(Blockbuster). The Company acquired the VIE shares in September 1993 at a cost
of approximately $25,000 while the value of the Blockbuster shares on July 29,
1994 was approximately $34,000.
