	(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 June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, 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 June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are each 13-week periods. The six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are each 26-week periods.

	The results of operations for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable 2013 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2013.

	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 29, 2013 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 29, 2013.

	Substantially all of the Company's inventories consist of finished goods.

	At June 29, 2014, the Company had remaining net deferred losses on hedging instruments, net of tax, of $33,629 in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCE"). These instruments hedge payments related to inventory purchased in the second quarter of 2014 or forecasted to be purchased during 2014, 2015 and 2016, intercompany expenses expected to be paid or received during 2014 and 2015, cash receipts for sales made at the end of the second quarter of 2014 or forecasted to be made in the remainder of 2014 and interest payments related to long-term notes due 2021 and 2044. These amounts will be reclassified into the consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the related inventory or recognition of the related sales, or expenses. Of the net deferred losses included in AOCE at June 29, 2014, the Company expects approximately $11,409 to be reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations within the next 12 months. However, the amount ultimately realized in earnings is dependent on the fair value of the hedging instruments on the settlement dates.

	Changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

		Pension and Postretirement Amounts			Gains (Losses) on Derivative Instruments			Unrealized Holding Gains on Available-for-Sale Securities			Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments			Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

	The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. At June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, the carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair value. The Company's financial instruments at June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013 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 June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013 are as follows:

	In May 2014, the Company issued $600,000 in long-term debt which consists of $300,000 of Notes Due in 2021 and $300,000 of Notes Due in 2044 (collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes Due in 2021 and 2044 bear interest at fixed rates of 3.15% and 5.10%, respectively. The Company may redeem the Notes at its option at the greater of the principal amount of the Notes or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments discounted using the effective interest rate on applicable U.S. Treasury bills at the time of repurchase. Prior to the issuance of the Notes, the Company held forward-starting interest rate swap contracts to hedge the variability in the anticipated underlying U.S. Treasury interest rate associated with the expected issuance of the Notes. At the date of issuance, these contracts were terminated and the Company paid $33,306, the fair value of the contracts on that date, to settle. Of this amount, $6,373 relates to 3.15% Notes Due 2021 and $26,933 relates to 5.10% Notes Due 2044, which has been deferred in AOCE and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective notes using the effective interest rate method. The proceeds from the Notes have been presented net of the payment for these contracts in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

	The carrying cost of the 6.125% Notes Due 2014 included principal amounts of $425,000 as well as fair value adjustments of $7,458, and $3,390 at June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, respectively, related to interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps were terminated in November 2012 and the fair value adjustments at June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013 represented the unamortized portions of the fair value of the interest rate swaps at the date of termination. At June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, the principal amount and fair value adjustment associated with the 6.125% Notes Due 2014 totaling $425,000 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 June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013. The total principal amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $1,559,895 at June 29, 2014 and $1,384,895 at both June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013.

	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.

	(5) Income Taxes

	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 U.S. Internal Revenue Service completed an examination related to the 2008 and 2009 U.S. federal income tax returns in 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, as a result of amending tax years 2010 through 2012 and making similar adjustments identified in the completion of the 2008 and 2009 examinations, the Company recognized $12,159 of previously accrued unrecognized tax benefits including the reversal of related accrued interest, primarily related to the deductibility of certain expenses, as well as the tax treatment of certain subsidiary and other transactions. Of this amount, $324 was recorded 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 amended returns, including other adjustments, totaled $13,480 during the first quarter of 2014.

	The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2013. 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 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 $253,470 (at June 29, 2014 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 June 29, 2014, bonds totaling approximately $184,260 (at June 29, 2014 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 through 2007 assessments as they are in administrative proceedings. 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 if these disputes continue through litigation and/or administrative processes. However, in the interest of resolving these open disputes and to provide for a mutually agreeable framework in future years, the Company is party to discussions with the Mexican tax authorities to determine if the two parties can reach an agreed settlement of these issues. The Company expects that any such settlement would require some payment by the Company with respect to the prior years' under assessment as well as include a mutually agreed methodology for dealing with these transfer pricing issues in future years. As of June 29, 2014, the Company's liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflects the settlement offer the Company most recently made to the Mexican tax authorities related to the outstanding assessments and potential claims with respect to periods subsequent to 2007 still subject to audit.

	At June 29, 2014, the Company has liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $84,314 which are included as a component of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company increased these liabilities by $13,846 to reflect the impact of a proposed resolution of certain tax matters.

	(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 June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, these investments totaled $33,528, $23,633 and $28,048, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded net gains and interest income of $1,063 and $2,240 on these investments in other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-months ended June 29, 2014, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such instruments. For the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 the Company recorded net gains (losses) of $(271) and $9, respectively, in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such instruments.

	At December 29, 2013 the Company also held forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of the anticipated underlying U.S. Treasury interest rate associated with the expected issuance of May 2014 long-term debt. See Notes 4 and 8 for further discussion.
	At June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, the Company had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets:

	Available-for-sale securities include equity securities of one company quoted on an active public market as well as certain investments valued at net asset values quoted on private markets that are not active. These net asset values are predominantly based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market; investments are redeemable within 45 days. The Company also holds an available-for-sale investment in Brazil similar to a repurchase agreement; this investment is valued at the principal plus any interest accrued on the instrument. Lastly, the Company holds an available-for-sale investment which invests in hedge funds which contain financial instruments that are valued using certain estimates which are considered unobservable in that they reflect the investment manager's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that these estimates are the best information available for use in the fair value of this investment. The Company's derivatives consist primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. At December 29, 2013, the Company also had forward-starting interest rate swap contracts related to the anticipated issuance of the Notes Due 2021 and 2044. The Company uses current forward rates of the respective foreign currencies and U.S. treasury interest rates to measure the fair value of these contracts. At June 30, 2013, the Company had derivative instruments consisting of warrants to purchase common stock of an unrelated company. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to value these warrants. One of the inputs used in the Black-Scholes model, historical volatility, is considered an unobservable input in that it reflected the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believed that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement. There were no changes in these valuation techniques during 2014.
	The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements of the Company's financial instruments which use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	Hasbro 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. Further, at December 29, 2013, and through the debt issuance date in May 2014, Hasbro used forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge anticipated interest payments related to the May 2014 debt issuance. All contracts 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.

	In 2013, the Company also had warrants to purchase common stock of an unrelated company that constituted and were 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 2014, 2015 and 2016.

	At June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:

			29-Jun-14								30-Jun-13						29-Dec-13
			Notional Amount				Fair				Notional			Fair			Notional		Fair
	Hedged transaction		Notional Amount				Value				Amount			Value			Amount		Value
	Inventory purchases		$	747,516				(8,500	)			342,616			8,295			577,138		(7,493	)
	Intercompany royalty transactions			2,340				(2,033	)			118,116			2,154			4,948		(2,774	)
	Sales			189,357				(4,613	)			112,278			4,193			171,393		(1,965	)

	Total		$	979,915				(15,062	)			598,112			14,293			800,042		(11,930	)

	The Company has a master agreement with each of its counterparties that allows for the netting of outstanding forward contracts. The fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013 as follows:

			29-Jun-14				30-Jun-13				29-Dec-13
	Prepaid expenses and other current assets
	Unrealized gains		$	422				13,907				1,088
	Unrealized losses			(248	)			(1,540	)			(702	)
	Net unrealized gain		$	174				12,367				386

	Unrealized losses			(2,735	)			-				(2,070	)
	Net unrealized loss		$	(1,617	)			-				(2,070	)


	Net gains (losses) on cash flow hedging activities have been reclassified from other comprehensive earnings (loss) to net earnings for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 as follows:

			Quarter Ended								Six Months Ended
			29-Jun-14				30-Jun-13				29-Jun-14			30-Jun-13
	Statements of Operations Classification
	Cost of sales		$	821				(306	)			(198	)		36
	Royalties			(260	)			97				(610	)		(44	)

	Net realized (losses) gains		$	(143	)			851				(1,671	)		1,527

	In addition, net (losses) gains of $(3) and $62 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively, and net losses of $67 and $68 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

	During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of the anticipated underlying U.S. Treasury interest rate associated with the expected issuance of long-term debt to repay the 6.125% Notes Due 2014 with a principal amount of $425,000. These derivative instruments were designated and effective as cash flow hedges. At December 29, 2013, the total notional amounts of the Company's forward-starting interest rate swap agreements was $300,000. Unrealized gains of $3,172 were recorded to the consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, the notional amounts of the Company's forward-starting interest rate swap agreements were increased to $500,000. The instruments were settled on the date of the issuance of the related debt and the deferred loss of $33,306 will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

	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 June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $248,908, $150,810 and $294,888, respectively.

At June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, the fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

		29-Jun-14				30-Jun-13				29-Dec-13
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Unrealized gains		$	-				1,625				-
Unrealized losses			-				(18	)			-
Net unrealized loss			-				1,607				-

Other liabilities
Unrealized loss			-				(1,235	)			-

Total unrealized gain (loss), net		$	(536	)			372				1,055

The Company recorded net gains of $4,179 and $62 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively, and $3,197 and $90 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, substantially offsetting gains and losses from the change in fair value of intercompany loans to which the contracts relate.

	(9) 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. 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 operations.

	Based on a 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 valuation was based on an income approach which utilizes discounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the acquired business. Identifiable intangible assets include property rights which are being amortized over the projected revenue curve over a period of four years. The carrying value and amortization curve of these intangible assets are based on cash flows associated with game titles released and planned to be released as of the date of acquisition. Actual results achieved from these acquired game titles may impact the carrying value of these intangibles or the timing of amortization expense. 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. Goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year, unless an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

	The 30% 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 Company does not know the ultimate timing that these predetermined financial metrics may be met and, thereby, cannot currently estimate the purchase price of the remaining 30%.

	Actual and pro forma results have not been disclosed because they are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $44,194 at June 29, 2014 and $45,445 at December 29, 2013. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the quarter and six-months ended June 29, 2014 was $655 and $1,228, respectively.

	The Company owns a 50% interest in a joint venture, Hub Television Networks, LLC ("Hub Network"), with Discovery Communications, Inc.. Hub Network was established to create a cable television network in the United States dedicated to high-quality children's and family entertainment. During the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014, the Company's share in the earnings of Hub Network was $2,263 and $3,599, respectively. For the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company's share in the earnings (loss) of Hub Network was $131 and $(933), respectively. As of June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 29, 2013, the Company's investment in Hub Network totaled $325,475, $329,813 and $321,876, respectively. The Company monitors the valuation of its investment in Hub Network primarily based on a discounted cash flow model. The underlying cash flows are based on long-term financial plans for Hub Network, which include projections for growth in revenues and profitability. Should Hub Network not achieve its profitability and growth targets, the carrying value of the Company's investment may become impaired.

	(11) Segment Reporting

	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 and trading card and role-playing games primarily within the United States and Canada. Within the International segment, the Company markets and sells both toy and game products in markets outside of the U.S. and Canada, primarily in the European, Asia Pacific, and Latin American regions. The Company's Entertainment and Licensing segment includes the Company's lifestyle licensing, digital gaming, movie and television entertainment operations. 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, including substantially all costs incurred related to the 2013 business restructurings, 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 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 and six months are not necessarily representative of those which may be expected for the full year 2014, nor were those of the comparable 2013 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2013. Similarly, such results are not necessarily those which would be achieved were each segment an unaffiliated business enterprise.

	Information by segment and a reconciliation to reported amounts for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows.

	(a) The Global Operations segment derives substantially all of its revenues, and thus its operating results, from intersegment activities.

	(b) Certain long-term assets, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, which benefit multiple operating segments, are included in Corporate and eliminations. 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 differences between actual and budgeted amounts are reflected in Corporate and eliminations. Corporate and eliminations also includes the elimination of inter-company balance sheet amounts. During 2013, certain inter-company balances were settled between each of the U.S. and Canada segment, Entertainment and Licensing segment and Corporate and eliminations. This reduced the amount of reported total assets of the U.S. and Canada and Entertainment and Licensing segments and increased the amount reported in Corporate and eliminations at June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013 compared to June 30, 2013.

	Available-for-sale securities include equity securities of one company quoted on an active public market as well as certain investments valued at net asset values quoted on private markets that are not active. These net asset values are predominantly based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market; investments are redeemable within 45 days. The Company also holds an available-for-sale investment in Brazil similar to a repurchase agreement; this investment is valued at the principal plus any interest accrued on the instrument. Lastly, the Company holds an available-for-sale investment which invests in hedge funds which contain financial instruments that are valued using certain estimates which are considered unobservable in that they reflect the investment manager's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that these estimates are the best information available for use in the fair value of this investment. The Company's derivatives consist primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. At December 29, 2013, the Company also had forward-starting interest rate swap contracts related to the anticipated issuance of the Notes Due 2021 and 2044. The Company uses current forward rates of the respective foreign currencies and U.S. treasury interest rates to measure the fair value of these contracts. At June 30, 2013, the Company had derivative instruments consisting of warrants to purchase common stock of an unrelated company. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to value these warrants. One of the inputs used in the Black-Scholes model, historical volatility, is considered an unobservable input in that it reflected the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believed that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement. There were no changes in these valuation techniques during 2014.

	The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements of the Company's financial instruments which use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	(a) The Global Operations segment derives substantially all of its revenues, and thus its operating results, from intersegment activities.

	(b) Certain long-term assets, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, which benefit multiple operating segments, are included in Corporate and eliminations. 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 differences between actual and budgeted amounts are reflected in Corporate and eliminations. Corporate and eliminations also includes the elimination of inter-company balance sheet amounts. During 2013, certain inter-company balances were settled between each of the U.S. and Canada segment, Entertainment and Licensing segment and Corporate and eliminations. This reduced the amount of reported total assets of the U.S. and Canada and Entertainment and Licensing segments and increased the amount reported in Corporate and eliminations at June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013 compared to June 30, 2013.

[1]	The Global Operations segment derives substantially all of its revenues, and thus its operating results, from intersegment activities.
[2]	Certain long-term assets, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, which benefit multiple operating segments, are included in Corporate and eliminations. 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 differences between actual and budgeted amounts are reflected in Corporate and eliminations. Corporate and eliminations also includes the elimination of inter-company balance sheet amounts. During 2013, certain inter-company balances were settled between each of the U.S. and Canada segment, Entertainment and Licensing segment and Corporate and eliminations. This reduced the amount of reported total assets of the U.S. and Canada and Entertainment and Licensing segments and increased the amount reported in Corporate and eliminations at June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013 compared to June 30, 2013.
