             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, the
related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and
six months and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 have been prepared by Coastcast Corporation (the "Company")
without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) have been made which
are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company at June 30, 1997 and for the
periods then ended.

Although the Company believes that the disclosure in the condensed
consolidated financial statements is adequate for a fair presentation
thereof, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The December 31, 1996 audited statements were included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in that
annual report.

The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following:



                                         June 30,       December 31,

                                       -----------    -----------




3.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The plan adopted in October 1993 to phase out the aerospace business
was essentially completed by June 1994.  The net current assets of
discontinued operations as of June 30, 1997 were $838,000, principally

                                  7



consisting of the estimated net realizable value of the Wallingford,
Connecticut property including the related deferred tax asset.

In connection with the offering for sale of the Wallingford,
Connecticut property, the Company had an environmental assessment
performed, which identified the presence of certain chemicals
associated with chlorinated solvents in groundwater beneath a portion
of the property.  The Company is currently conducting further
investigation to determine the source and extent of the contamination. 
The Company has recorded the net assets associated with its
discontinued operations at the estimated net realizable value.
However, since the precise source and extent of the contamination has
not been identified at this time, no assurances can be given that the
proceeds to be realized upon the sale of this property less the cost
of remediation will equal or exceed the estimated net realizable
value.

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding and dilutive common equivalent shares from
stock options, using the treasury stock method.

In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS
PER SHARE, which the Company will adopt in its annual financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Statement
replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic
EPS, which excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period.  The Statement also requires
the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted
EPS computation.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted
EPS pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15.

The Company has determined that the effect of adopting SFAS No. 128
would not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997.

                     COASTCAST CORPORATION
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales decreased 6.1% and 4.2% to $39.9 million and $68.9 million for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
from $42.5 million and $71.9 million for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The decrease was primarily
due to a change in the revenue mix from a preponderance of metal woods
to irons and putters, which have lower unit sales prices than metal
wood clubheads.

Gross profit decreased 31.0% and 38.0% to $8.0 million and $12.0
million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, from $11.6 million and $19.4 million for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1996.  Gross profit margins
decreased to 20.0%  and 17.4% for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1997 respectively, from 27.2% and 26.9% for the
comparable prior year periods, due principally to the shift in
production to irons and putters.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The plan adopted in October 1993 to phase out the aerospace business
was essentially completed by June 1994.  The net current assets of
discontinued operations as of June 30, 1997 were $838,000, principally
consisting of the estimated net realizable value of the Wallingford,
Connecticut property including the related deferred tax asset.

In connection with the offering for sale of the Wallingford,
Connecticut property, the Company had an environmental assessment
performed, which identified the presence of certain chemicals
associated with chlorinated solvents in groundwater beneath a portion
of the property.  The Company is currently conducting further
investigation to determine the source and extent of the contamination. 
The Company has recorded the net assets associated with its
discontinued operations at the estimated net realizable value.
However, since the precise source and extent of the contamination has
not been identified at this time, no assurances can be given that the
proceeds to be realized upon the sale of this property less the cost
of remediation will equal or exceed the estimated net realizable
value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents position at June 30, 1997 was
$13.9 million compared to $14.1 million on December 31, 1996, a
decrease of $0.2 million.  Net cash provided by operating activities
was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The net cash
provided by operating activities consisted of net income of $4.0
million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of
$3.4 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
of $1.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million, and an
increase in deferred compensation of $0.6 million, partially offset by
an increase in trade accounts receivable of $6.1 million and an
increase in inventories of $5.0 million.  Net cash used in investing
activities consisted mainly of $1.1 million of net capital
expenditures for the six 

                             9



months ended June 30, 1997.  Net cash provided by financing activities of 
$0.3 million consisted mainly of proceeds from exercise of stock options.

The Company has no long term debt.  The Company believes that its
current cash position, working capital generated from future
operations and the ability to borrow should be adequate to meet its
financing requirements for the foreseeable future.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Certain government agencies have asserted claims that for a period of
time the Company did not comply with all applicable regulations

have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
