(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 AprilJuly 1, 2001 and AprilJuly 2, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

The quarteryear to date period ended AprilJuly 1, 2001 is a thirteen week period. The quarter26-week period while the year to date period ended AprilJuly 2, 2000 is a fourteen week27-week period.

The results of operations for the quartersix months ended AprilJuly 1, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

(2) Earnings per share data for the fiscal quarters ended April 1, 2001 and April 2, 2000 were computed as follows: 2001 2000 ----------------- ----------------- Basic Diluted Basic Diluted ------- ------- ------- ------- Earnings (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change $(23,958) (23,958) 15,127 15,127 ======= ======= ======= ======= Average shares outstanding (in thousands) 171,933 171,933 189,563 189,563 Effect of dilutive securities; Options and warrants - - - 778 ------- ------- ------- ------- Equivalent shares 171,933 171,933 189,563 190,341 ======= ======= ======= ======= Earnings (loss) per share before cumulative effect of accounting change $ (.14) (.14) .08 .08 ======= ======= ======= ======= (3) The Company's other comprehensive earnings (loss) primarily results from foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in value of the Company's available-for-sale investments, and the impact of deferred gains or losses on changes in the fair value of foreign currency contracts. (4)

(3) In January 2001, the Company closed on the sale (commenced in 2000) of certain business units comprising Hasbro Interactive, as well as its internet portal, Games.com, to Infogrames Entertainment SA (Infogrames) for Infogrames securities and cash, resulting in a loss of $43,965 that was recognized at December 31, 2000. The sale iswas subject to certain post closing adjustments, which are expected to be finalized in 2001. HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Thousands of Dollars) (Unaudited) under discussion between the Company and Infogrames.

The Infogrames securities received in the sale have been classified as available-for-sale and are included in other assets. Net revenues and operating losses of the business units sold were $22,700 and $(29,100), respectively, for the quarterthree months ended AprilJuly 2, 2000 were $24,995 and $(34,730)$47,700 and $(63,900), respectively. (5)respectively for the six months ended July 2, 2000.

(4) The Company is exposed to market risks attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily as a result of sourcing products in four currencies while marketing those products in more than thirty currencies. Results of operations will be affected primarily by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar, British pound, Euro, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso versus other currencies, principally in Europe and the United States. To manage this exposure, the Company hedges a portion of its estimated future foreign currency transactions using a combination of forward foreign exchange contracts and purchased foreign currency options.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by Statement of Accounting Standards No. 138, (collectively "SFAS 133") which require that the Company record all derivatives, such as foreign exchange products, on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the derivative fair values that are designated, effective and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (AOCE) until the hedged transactions occur and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company's foreign currency contracts hedging anticipated cash flows are designated as cash flow hedges.

The ineffective portion of a hedging derivative is immediately recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of adopting SFAS 133 and in accordance with the transition provisions, the Company recorded a one-time after tax charge of $1,066 or $.01 per share during the quarter ended April 1, 2001 representing the cumulative effect of the adoption in its consolidated statements of operations and an after tax unrealized loss of $753 to AOCE, which the Company expects to be reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations during the remainder of fiscal 2001. For the quarter ended April 1, 2000, changes in fair value which the Company excludes from its assessment of hedge effectiveness, which are included in the consolidated statement of operations were $60.

A summary of the after tax activity in AOCE relating to the Company's hedging program is as follows: Balance, December 31, 2000 $ - Cumulative effect of accounting change (753) Change in fair value of cash flow hedges 3,810 Change in fair value transferred to earnings as a result of ineffectiveness 32 ------ Balance, April 1, 2001 $3,089 ====== HASBRO, INC.

The remaining balance in AOCE at AprilJuly 1, 2001 represents a net unrealized gain on hedges of 2001 inventory purchases either purchased in the first quarter or forecasted to be purchased during the remainder of fiscal 2001. This amount will be transferred to the consolidated statementsstatement of operations upon the sale of the related inventory. The Company expects the entire balance in AOCE to be reclassified to the consolidated statementsstatement of operations within the next 129-12 months.

Changes in fair value which the Company excludes from its assessment of hedge effectiveness, which are included in the consolidated statement of operations were $11 for the quarter ended July 1, 2001 and $71 for the six months ended July 1, 2001. In addition, during the three months ended July 1, 2001, the Company transferred $695, after taxes, to earnings relating to the portion of the net gains in AOCE that relate to inventory sold during the period.

Occasionally, the Company enters into derivative instruments to offset changes in the fair value of intercompany loans which are required to be recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a net gainloss to other (income) expense of $840$86 and $926 for the three and six months ended July 1, 2001, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of foreign currencysuch derivatives, that were not designated as accounting hedges. Changes inpartially offsetting gains from the fair value of these derivatives offset changeschange in fair value of the underlying transactions to which they relate, which are alsointercompany loans from foreign currency fluctuations included in other (income) expense.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. All hedges designated as cash flow hedges are linked to forecasted transactions and the Company assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, the effectiveness of the derivatives used in hedging transactions in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge under the requirements of SFAS 133, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. Any gain or loss deferred through that date remains in AOCE until the forecasted transaction occurs at which time it is reclassified into the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent the transaction is no longer deemed probable of occurring, hedge accounting treatment is discontinued prospectively and amounts deferred would be reclassified to the consolidatedco nsolidated statements of operations. (6) On October 12, 2000, the Company announced a plan to consolidate its U.S. Toy group into Rhode Island, significantly reduce overhead through reductions in product development, sales and marketing, and administrative functions across the Company and to increase its development of the Company's core brands. Costs associated with this consolidation program, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000, amounted to $152,270, of which $70,079 was recorded as a restructuring charge and $82,191 in various other operating expense categories. The significant components of the plan included the closing of offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Napa, California office and warehouse and a small office in San Francisco, California, thereby essentially consolidating the U.S. Toy group in Rhode Island. These actions were substantially completed at December 31, 2000. HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Thousands of Dollars) (Unaudited) Additionally, the plan included the reduction of overhead, particularly in marketing and sales, product development and administration. This included a curtailment of the expansion of the retail business of Wizards, the further consolidation of certain international operating offices into regional centers and consolidation and streamlining of the Company's marketing activities. The Company is also increasing its focus on developing and marketing its core brands thereby seeking to reduce its reliance on licenses. This focus resulted in product lines which will be discontinued or for which the Company has significantly reduced expectations. The 2000 restructuring charge of $70,079 represented approximately $31,800 of cash charges for severance benefits for termination of approximately 850 employees, which will be disbursed over the employees' entitlement period, $21,400 of cash charges for lease costs to be expended over the contractual lease term of the closed facilities and non-cash charges of $16,900 for fixed asset write-offs, arising primarily in Corporate and the U.S. Toy segment. Non- cash charges relating to fixed asset write-offs were credited to the respective line items on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2000. Details of activity in the restructuring plan for the current period follow: Balance at Balance at Dec. 31, Apr. 1, 2000 Activity 2001 ------- -------- ------- Severance $ 31,800 (12,100) 19,700 Lease costs 21,400 (1,100) 20,300 ------- ------- ------- $ 53,200 (13,200) 40,000 ======= ======= ======= Employee redundancies by area: Manufacturing activities 27 (24) 3 Research, product development, marketing sales and administration 322 (196) 126 ------- ------- ------- 349 (220) 129 ======= ======= ======= The remaining severance liability represents cash charges for severance benefits for employees not yet terminated and amounts for employees made redundant which will be disbursed over the employees' entitlement period.

(5) Hasbro is a worldwide marketer and distributor of children's and family entertainment products and services, principally engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of games and toys ranging from traditional to high- tech.high-tech. The Company's reportable segments are U.S. Toys, Games, International and Operations. In 2001, the Company has realigned its business segments to consolidate its toy-related product lines into its U.S. Toy segment. In addition, manufacturing facilities previously included in the Operations segment are now assessed as part of the segments which these facilities support. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to reflect the Company's current focus.

In the United States, the U.S. Toy segment includes the design, marketing and selling of boys action figures, vehicles and playsets, girls toys, preschool toys and infant products, creative play products and toy-relatedtoy related specialty products. The Games segment includes the development, manufacturing, marketing and selling of traditional board games and puzzles, handheld electronic games, electronic interactive products, children's consumer electronics, electronic learning aids, trading card and role-playing games. Within the International segment, the Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells both toy and certain game products in non-U.S. markets. Operations sources product for the majority of the Company's segments. The Company also has other segments which license out certain toy and game properties and which operate retail stores. These other segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments and have been combined for reporting purposes.

Segment performance is measured at the operating profit level. Included in Corporate and eliminations are general corporate expenses, the elimination of intersegment transactions and assets not identified with a specific segment. Intersegment sales and transfers are reflected in management reports at amounts approximating cost.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in noteNote 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

Results shown for the quarter and six months are not necessarily representative of those which may be expected for the full year 2001 nor were those of the comparable 2000 first quarterperiods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2000.

(7) During the second quarter of 2001, The Company continued actions under its plan, begun in the fourth quarter of 2000, to consolidate its U.S. Toy group into Rhode Island, significantly reduce overhead through reductions in product development, sales and marketing, and administrative functions across the Company and to increase its development of the Company's core brands. Costs associated with this consolidation program, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000, amounted to $152,270, of which $70,079 was recorded as a restructuring charge and $82,191 in various other operating expense categories.

HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Thousands of Dollars)
(Unaudited)

The significant components of the plan included the closing of offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Napa, California office and warehouse and a small office in San Francisco, California, thereby essentially consolidating the U.S. Toy group in Rhode Island. These actions were substantially completed at December 31, 2000.

Additionally, the plan included the reduction of overhead, particularly in marketing and sales, product development and administration. This included a curtailment of the expansion of the retail business of Wizards, the further consolidation of certain international operating offices into regional centers and consolidation and streamlining of the Company's marketing activities. The Company is also increasing its focus on developing and marketing its core brands, thereby seeking to reduce its reliance on licenses. This focus resulted in product lines which will be discontinued or for which the Company has significantly reduced expectations.

The 2000 restructuring charge of $70,079 represented approximately $31,800 of cash charges for severance benefits for termination of approximately 850 employees, which will be disbursed over the employees' entitlement period, $21,400 of cash charges for lease costs to be expended over the contractual lease term of the closed facilities and non-cash charges of $16,900 for fixed asset write-offs, arising primarily in Corporate and the U.S. Toy segment. Non-cash charges relating to fixed asset write-offs were credited to the respective line items on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2000. Details of activity in the restructuring plan for the current period follow:

Net loss for the firstsecond quarter of 2001 was $(25,024)$(18,331) compared with net income of $15,127$6,500 in the firstsecond quarter of 2000. For the six month period ended July 1, 2001, net loss was $(43,355) compared with net income of $21,627 for the six months ended July 2, 2000. Diluted earnings (loss) per share for the second quarter was $(.11) and $.04 in 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $(.25) and $.12 for the first six months in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The net loss and diluted loss per share for the quarter was $(.15) in 2001 compared with a diluted earnings per share of $.08 in 2000. The net loss and diluted earnings per share forsix months ended July 1, 2001 include a cumulative effect of accounting change of $(1,066) or $(.01) per share relating to the adoption of SFAS 133 as discussed in the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements. Net revenues and operating profits for the quarter and six months decreased in all three2001 relative to the comparable periods in 2000 in two of the Company's three major business segments, U.S. Toys, Games and International, from comparable 2000 levels. Operating loss of theInternational. The U.S. Toys segment decreased from 2000 levels while thehad operating profit in the second quarter and first six months of 2001 , compared to a loss in the other two major business segments decreasedcomparable 2000 periods. U.S. Toys segment revenues for the second quarter increased marginally while decreasing for the six month period from 2000 levels. Games segment revenues were negatively impacted by the sale of Hasbro Interactive and Games.com in January 2001 while operating profit was positively impacted. The first quartersix months of 2001 includes 1326 weeks compared to 1427 weeks in the first quartercomparable period of 2000. A more detailed discussion of items impacting consolidated net earnings (loss) and segment results follows.

NET REVENUES - ------------ Net

Worldwide net revenues fordecreased 34.4% to $510,971 in the firstsecond quarter of 2001 decreased approximately 40%compared to $463,286$778,373 in the second quarter of 2000. 83% of this decline resulted from $773,481a decrease in 2000. This decrease is primarily due to reducedworldwide revenues across all segments, from POKEMON products. InThe greatest impact from this decline was felt in the Games segment. Games segment revenues decreased 52% to $189,73946% from the comparable periodquarter of 2000. In addition to decreased sales of POKEMON products, reduced sales of FURBY products anddecreased revenues from the sale of Hasbro Interactive in January 2001 negatively impacted Games segment revenues.

WorldwideThe stronger US dollar negatively impacted worldwide net revenues for the 2001 second quarter compared to the same period last year by $11,000. Revenues for the U.S. Toy segment were consistent with revenues in the comparable quarter of 2000 due primarily to sales of product introduced in the quarter which related to the July 2001 theatrical release of JURASSIC PARK III as well as increased sales of GI JOE products, which were offset by decreased sales of POKEMON and KOOSH products. For the first six months, worldwide net revenues were adversely impacted by $9,790 from$974,257 and $1,551,854 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. In addition to the strongersecond quarter factors noted above, the 2001 six month amounts reflect an approximate $20,800 negative impact of the strengthened U.S. dollar. The strong U.S. dollar may continue to have a negative impact on revenues for the remainder of 2001.

OTHER INFORMATION
- ----------------- ---------------------------------
On January 1, 2001, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, which require that all derivative instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The effect of adopting these standards on earnings, net of taxes, was $(1,066) while the effect on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Earnings was $(753).

In January 2001, the Company closed on the sale (commenced in 2000) of certain business units comprising Hasbro Interactive, as well as its internet portal, Games.com.Games.com, to Infogrames Entertainment SA (Infogrames). The sale resulted in a loss of $43,965, which was recognized at December 31, 2000. The sale is subject to certain post closing adjustments, which are expected to be finalized in 2001. under discussion between the Company and Infogrames.

Due to the seasonal nature of the business and in particular the mix of products offered in 2001, the Company continues to expect the second half of the year and within that half, the fourth quarter, to be more significant to its overall business for the full year.year in 2001. 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, inventory levels, policies of retailers and differences in overall economic conditions. The trend of retailers over the past few years has been to purchase product within or close to the fourth quarter holiday consumer selling season, which includes Christmas. Quick response inventory management practices now being used resultresu lt in fewer orders being placed in advance of shipment and more orders, when placed, for immediate delivery. Consequently, unshipped orders on any date in a given 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 AprilJuly 29, 2001 and AprilJuly 30, 2000, the Company's unshipped orders were approximately $287,000$630,000 and $434,000,$870,000, respectively. On October 12, 2000,

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company announced acontinued actions under its plan, approved by its Boardbegun in the fourth quarter of Directors2000, to consolidate its U.S. Toys group into Rhode Island, significantly reduce overhead through reductions in product development, sales and marketing, and administrative functions across the Company and to increase its focus on development of the Company's core brands.

The significant components of the plan included the closing of the Company's offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Napa, California office and warehouse and a small office in San Francisco, California, thereby essentially consolidating the U.S. Toys group in Rhode Island. These actions were substantially completed at December 31, 2000. The remaining severance liability represents cash charges for severance benefits for employees not yet terminated and amounts for employees made redundant which will be disbursed over the employee's entitlement period. The balance in lease costs will be expended over the contractual lease terms. The Company expects to generate full year pre-tax savings of approximately $49,000 in 2001 and $53,000 in 2002 from the actions for which the Company incurred a charge in 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- ------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
The seasonality of the Company's business results in the interim cash flow statements not being representative of that which may be expected for the full year. Historically, the majority of the Company's cash collections occur late in the fourth quarter and early in the first quarter of the subsequent year. As receivables are collected, the proceeds are used to repay a significant portion of outstanding short-term debt. HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) (Thousands of dollars)

Because of this seasonality in cash flow, management believes that on an interim basis, rather than discussing only its cash flows, a better understanding of its liquidity and capital resources can be obtained through a discussion of the various balance sheet categories as well. 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, 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.

EURO CONVERSION
- --------------- ------------------------------
Certain member countries of the European Union established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the European Economic Monetary Union common currency, or Euro. While the Euro was introduced on January 1, 1999, member countries will continue to use their existing currencies through January 1, 2002, with the transition period for full conversion to the Euro ending June 30, 2002. Transition to the Euro creates certain issues for the Company with respect to upgrading information technology systems for 2002 full use requirements, reassessing currency risk, product pricing, amending business and financial contracts as well as processing tax and accounting records. The Company has and will continue to address these transition issues and does not expect the Euro conversion to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

MARKET RISKS
- -----------------------
The Company is exposed to market risks attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's objective is to reduce volatility in results from operations and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. Accordingly, the Company manages this exposure by hedging a portion of its anticipated and committed foreign currency transactions using a combination of forward foreign exchange contracts and purchased foreign currency option contracts. These contracts generally mature within twelve to fifteen months from the date into which they are entered. It is the Company's policy to only enter into foreign currency contracts considered necessary to support its business objective as stated above. The Company does not speculate in foreign currencies.

RECENT INFORMATION
- -----------------------------------
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations", and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies the criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 will also require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives down to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."

The Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141 immediately and Statement 142 effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of Statement 142.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial

(Thousands of dollars)

Statement 141 will require, upon adoption of Statement 142, that the Company evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in Statement 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company will also be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142 within the first interim period. Any impairment loss arising from this assessment will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in account ing principle in this period.

Statement 142 will require the Company to also perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption.

This assessment and analysis of its results is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company's statement of operations.

Amortization expense related to goodwill (presented in the caption "Costs in excess of net assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) was $47,482 and $20,773 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the six months ended July 1, 2001, respectively. Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting Statements 141 and 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these Statements on the Company's financial statements at the date of this report, including whether any transitional impairment losses will be required to be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
