	(1) Basis of Presentation
	In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries ("Hasbro" or the "Company") as of September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	The quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 are each 13-week periods. The nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 are 39-week and 40-week periods, respectively.
	The results of operations for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable 2012 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2012.
	These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The Company filed audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes all such information and disclosures and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial information included herein.
	The Company's accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012.
	Substantially all of the Company's inventories consist of finished goods.

	Components of other comprehensive earnings are presented within the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings. The related tax benefit (expense) of (losses) gains on cash flow hedging activities within other comprehensive earnings were $2,548 and $(424) for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013, respectively. The income tax expense related to reclassification adjustments of net gains on cash flow hedging activities from other comprehensive earnings were $861 and $1,280 for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013, respectively. The income tax benefit related to the reclassification of amortization of unrecognized pension and postretirement amounts was $712 and $2,136 for the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2013, respectively.
	The related tax (benefit) expense of gains (losses) on cash flow hedging activities within other comprehensive earnings was $861 and $(1,000) for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The income tax expense related to reclassification adjustments of net gains on cash flow hedging activities from other comprehensive earnings was $501 and $1,063 for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	At September 29, 2013, the Company had remaining deferred losses on hedging instruments, net of tax, of $5,835 in accumulated other comprehensive earnings ("AOCE"). These instruments hedge payments related to inventory purchased during the third quarter of 2013 or forecasted to be purchased during the remainder of 2013 and 2014, intercompany expenses and royalty payments expected to be paid or received during the remainder of 2013 and 2014 as well as cash receipts for sales forecasted to be made during the remainder of 2013 and 2014. These amounts will be reclassified into the consolidated statement of operations upon the sale of the related inventory or recognition of the related sales, royalties or expenses. Of the amount included in AOCE at September 29, 2013, the Company expects losses of approximately $2,746 to be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. However, the amount ultimately realized in earnings is dependent on the fair value of the contracts on the settlement dates.
	Changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 are as follows:

	(4) Financial Instruments
	The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. At September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012, the carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair value. The Company's financial instruments at September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012 also include certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value (see Notes 6 and 8) as well as long-term borrowings. The carrying costs and fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings as of September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012 are as follows:
		29-Sep-13				30-Sep-12				30-Dec-12

	The carrying cost of the 6.125 % Notes Due 2014 includes principal amounts of $425,000 as well as fair value adjustments of $5,424, $14,011, and $11,526 at September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012, respectively, related to interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps were terminated in November 2012 and the fair value adjustment at September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 represent the unamortized portions of the fair value of the interest rate swaps at the date of termination. At September 29, 2013 the principal amount and fair value adjustment associated with the 6.125 % Notes Due 2014, totaling $430,424, were included in the current portion of long-term debt. All other carrying costs represent principal amounts and were included in long-term debt excluding the current portion at September 29, 2013. The total principal amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, at September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012 was $1,384,895.
	The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are considered Level 3 fair values (see Note 6 for further discussion of the fair value hierarchy) and are measured using the discounted future cash flows method. In addition to the debt terms, the valuation methodology includes an assumption of a discount rate that approximates the current yield on a similar debt security. This assumption is considered an unobservable input in that it reflects the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement.
	The Company was party to a series of interest rate swap agreements to adjust the amount of debt that is subject to fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps were matched with a portion of the 6.125% Notes Due 2014 and accounted for as fair value hedges of those notes. The interest rate swaps had a total notional amount of $400,000 with maturities in 2014 which matched the maturity date of the related notes. In each of the contracts, the Company received payments based upon a fixed interest rate of 6.125 %, which matched the interest rate of the notes being hedged, and made payments based upon a floating rate based on Libor. These contracts were designated and effective as hedges of the changes in the fair value of the associated debt. In November 2012, these interest rate swap agreements were terminated. The fair value was recorded as an adjustment to long-term debt and is being amortized through the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the related debt using a straight-line method. At September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, this adjustment to total long-term debt was $5,424 and $11,526, respectively. At September 30, 2012, the fair value of these contracts was an asset of $14,011 which was recorded in other assets with a corresponding fair value adjustment to increase long-term debt. The Company recorded losses of $651 and $1,966 for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, on these instruments in other (income) expense, net relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, wholly offsetting (gains) losses from the change in fair value of the associated long-term debt, also included in other (income) expense.

	The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and international jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is regularly audited by U.S. federal, state and local and international tax authorities in various tax jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2010. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. state or local and non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major jurisdictions for years before 2006.
	The U.S. Internal Revenue Service recently completed an examination related to the 2008 and 2009 U.S. federal income tax returns. During the third quarter of 2013, as a result of the completion of this examination, unrecognized tax benefits, which are included as a component of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, decreased $67,174. Of this amount, $29,970 was recorded as an increase to current liabilities, $14,112 as a reduction of deferred tax assets and the remainder as a reduction to income tax expense. The total income tax benefit resulting from the completion of tax examinations, including other adjustments, totaled $23,637 for the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2013. The Company is currently under income tax examination in several U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions.
	In connection with the Mexican tax examinations for the years 2000 to 2007, the Company has received tax assessments totaling approximately $241,770 (at September 29, 2013 exchange rates), which include interest, penalties and inflation updates, related to transfer pricing which the Company is vigorously defending. In order to continue the process of defending its position, the Company was required to guarantee the amount of the assessments for the years 2000 to 2004, as is usual and customary in Mexico with respect to these matters. Accordingly, as of September 29, 2013, bonds totaling approximately $183,540 (at September 29, 2013 exchange rates) have been provided to the Mexican government related to the 2000 to 2004 assessments, allowing the Company to defend its positions. The Company is not currently required to guarantee the amounts of the 2005, 2006 and 2007 assessments. The Company expects to be successful in sustaining its position with respect to these assessments as well as similar positions that may be taken by the Mexican tax authorities for periods subsequent to 2007.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access; Level 2 fair values are those based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 fair values are based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
	Accounting standards permit entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establish presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has elected the fair value option for certain available-for-sale investments. At September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012, these investments totaled $23,452, $23,403 and $24,091, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded net losses of $176 and $166 on these investments in other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such instruments. For the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 the Company recorded net gains of $1,082 and $1,847, respectively, on these investments in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such investments.

	(8) Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. These over-the-counter contracts, which hedge future currency requirements related to purchases of inventory, product sales and other cross-border transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the business unit, are primarily denominated in United States and Hong Kong dollars, and Euros and are entered into with a number of counterparties, all of which are major financial institutions. The Company believes that a default by a single counterparty would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Hasbro does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
	The Company also has warrants to purchase common stock of an unrelated company that constitute and are accounted for as derivatives. For additional information related to these warrants see Note 6.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. All of the Company's designated foreign currency forward contracts are considered to be cash flow hedges. These instruments hedge a portion of the Company's currency requirements associated with anticipated inventory purchases, product sales and other cross-border transactions in 2013 and 2014.
	At September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows.

	Undesignated Hedges
	The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of changes in the fair value of intercompany loans due to foreign currency changes. Due to the nature of the derivative contracts involved, the Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts.  At September 29, 2013, September 30, 2012 and December 30, 2012 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $257,325, $184,555 and $189,217, respectively.

Consolidation Program and Restructuring Charge	'
	(9) Consolidation Program and Restructuring Charge
	In the fourth quarter of 2012 the Company announced a multi-year cost savings initiative. This initiative includes workforce reductions, facility consolidations, process improvements and other cost savings measures. Through September 29, 2013, the Company has incurred pre-tax restructuring and partial pension settlement charges of $71,526 in connection with this initiative. Of these charges, $36,045 was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012 and $35,481 was recorded during the nine months of 2013, of which $4,093 was recorded in the third quarter of 2013.
	During the fourth quarter of 2012, charges included severance costs of $34,888 related to the reduction of approximately 560 employees and $1,157 of facility costs related to the commencement of this program. Charges for the nine months of 2013 totaled $35,481 and were comprised of $27,267in severance costs, $6,485 in non-cash pension charges, and $1,729 in costs associated with exiting a contractual obligation.  Severance costs recognized during the first nine months of 2013 primarily related to a voluntary retirement program for certain eligible employees in the United States. Non-cash pension charges included $2,959 which resulted from a curtailment charge related to the Company's U.S. pension plans during the first quarter of 2013 and $3,526 of partial settlement charges as a result of the amount of lump sum pension distributions to date during 2013, primarily related to restructuring activities. Costs associated with exiting a contractual obligation were paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The total 2013 charge of $35,481 was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:  $8,493 – cost of sales; $3,515 – product development; and $23,473 – selling, distribution and administration.
	The following is a summary of the severance and other personnel charges related to the Company's cost savings initiative included in accrued liabilities as of September 29, 2013:
	Balance at December  30, 2012	$	34,888
	2013 Charges		27,267
	Payments		(24,620	)
	Balance at September 29, 2013	$	37,535
	The nine months ended September 30, 2012 also included severance charges of $11,130 associated with certain business functions.  These charges were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as follows: $2,764 – cost of sales; $2,479 – product development; and $5,887 – selling, distribution and administration.

	(10) Contingencies
	The Company is currently involved in two disputes with an inventor relating to the contractual interpretation of two license agreements between the parties, and the payment of royalties. Certain of the claims relate to products included in the Company's NERF product line and are subject to binding arbitration. The other claims relate to products included in the Company's SUPER SOAKER line, are not subject to binding arbitration, and are subject to a complaint filed in February 2013 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The arbitration hearing for the claims related to NERF products took place in August of 2013. On October 29, 2013, the arbitrator issued a ruling which award $72,933, including damages, interest, fees and expenses to the licensor. The Company disagrees with the arbitrator's ruling and is considering all possible appeals and challenges to this award. The Company recognized a third quarter charge related to this arbitration award of $75,546, of which $57,164 was included in royalty expense and $18,382 in interest expense. With respect to the SUPER SOAKER claim pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses, intends to vigorously defends its position and does not believe any potential loss relating to these claims will be material to the consolidated financial statements.
	In addition to the above matter as well as the Mexican tax assessments discussed in footnote 5, the Company is party to certain other legal proceedings, as well as certain asserted and unasserted claims. Amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

	(11) Acquisitions
	On July 8, 2013, the Company acquired a majority interest in Backflip Studios, LLC ("Backflip"), a mobile game developer based in Boulder, Colorado.  The Company paid $112,000 in cash to acquire a 70% interest in Backflip, and will be required to purchase the remaining 30% in the future contingent on the achievement by Backflip of certain predetermined financial performance metrics. The Company is consolidating the financial statements of Backflip and reporting the 30% redeemable noncontrolling interests as a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operation.
	Based on a preliminary valuation of approximately $160,000, the Company has allocated approximately $6,000 to net tangible assets, $35,000 to identifiable intangible assets, $119,000 to goodwill, and $48,000 to redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company expects to finalize its valuations and allocation of the purchase price in the fourth quarter of 2013.  Goodwill reflects the value to the Company from leveraging Backflip's expertise in developing and marketing mobile digital games, including the continued expansion of its own brands in this arena. The goodwill recorded as part of this acquisition will be reflected in the Entertainment and Licensing segment and the amortization will be deductible for income tax purposes. The $48,000 preliminary value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests has been presented in the consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity between liabilities and shareholders' equity. This presentation is required because the Company has the obligation to purchase the remaining 30% of Backflip in the future contingent on the achievement by Backflip of certain predetermined financial performance metrics.
	The consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013 include the operations of Backflip from the closing date of July 8, 2013. Actual and pro forma results have not been disclosed because they are not material to the consolidated financial statements.  Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2013 was $731.

	Hasbro is a worldwide leader in children's and family leisure time products and services with a broad portfolio of brands and entertainment properties across toys, games and licensed products ranging from traditional to high-tech and digital. The Company's segments are (i) U.S. and Canada; (ii) International; (iii) Entertainment and Licensing; and (iv) Global Operations.
	The U.S. and Canada segment includes the marketing and selling of boys' action figures, vehicles and playsets, girls' toys, electronic toys and games, plush products, preschool toys and infant products, electronic interactive products, toy-related specialty products, traditional board games and puzzles, DVD-based games and trading card and role-playing games within the United States and Canada.

The Global Operations segment is responsible for manufacturing and sourcing finished products for the Company's U.S. and Canada and International segments.
	Segment performance is measured at the operating profit level. Included in Corporate and Eliminations are certain corporate expenses, certain restructuring charges, the elimination of intersegment transactions and certain assets benefiting more than one segment. Intersegment sales and transfers are reflected in management reports at amounts approximating cost. Certain shared costs, including global product development and marketing expenses and corporate administration, are allocated to segments based upon expenses and foreign exchange rates fixed at the beginning of the year, with adjustments to actual expenses and foreign exchange rates included in Corporate and Eliminations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those referenced in Note 1.
	Results shown for the quarter are not necessarily representative of those which may be expected for the full year 2013, nor were those of the comparable 2012 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2012. Similarly, such results are not necessarily those which would be achieved were each segment an unaffiliated business enterprise.

[1]	The Global Operations segment derives substantially all of its revenues, and thus its operating results, from intersegment activities.
[2]	Certain intangible assets, primarily goodwill, which benefit multiple operating segments are reflected as Corporate assets for segment reporting purposes. In accordance with accounting standards related to impairment testing, these amounts have been allocated to the reporting unit which benefits from their use. In addition, allocations of certain expenses related to these assets to the individual operating segments are done at the beginning of the year based on budgeted amounts. Any difference between actual and budgeted amounts is reflected in Corporate and Eliminations.
