                      COASTCAST CORPORATION
       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, the related
condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months and nine months
and cash flows for the nine months ended September 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 September 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 September 30, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2.    INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following:
                                                 September 30,  December 31,
                                                      1997           1996
                                                  -----------    -----------

   Raw materials and supplies                     $11,630,000   $10,448,000
   Tooling                                            434,000       294,000
   Work-in-process                                  9,078,000     9,792,000
   Finished goods                                     571,000     1,126,000
                                                  -----------   -----------

                                                  $21,713,000   $21,660,000
                                                  -----------   -----------
                                                  -----------   -----------


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 September 30, 1997, were $864,000,


                                7


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 have 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, 1998.  The Statement prohibits adoption during fiscal and interim
periods ending prior to December 15, 1998.  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 adopting SFAS No. 128 would not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1997.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales increased 5.8% to $43.9 million, and decreased 0.4% to $112.9 million, for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $41.5
million and $113.3 million for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1996, respectively.  Increased sales of iron and putter clubheads for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, versus the comparable
prior year periods were partially offset and more than offset, respectively, by
decreased sales of metal wood clubheads.

Gross profit decreased 2.1% and 26.0% to $9.4 million and $21.4 million for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, from $9.6 million and
$28.9 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively.  Gross profit margins decreased to 21.3% and 18.9% for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, from 23.0% and
25.5% for the comparable prior year periods, due principally to product mix and
revenue flow which were higher in iron and putter clubheads than metal wood
clubheads.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased 82.4% and 21.1% to $3.1
million and $8.6 million for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1997, respectively, from $1.7 million and $7.1 million for the comparable
prior year periods.  The increase was mainly due to expenses associated with the
supplemental executive retirement plan, which became effective September 1,
1996, and increased payroll and related expenses for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the prior year periods.

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 September 30, 1997, were $864,000, 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 have 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 September 30, 1997, was
$23.8 million compared to $14.1 million on December 31, 1996, an increase of
$9.7 million.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The operating activities net cash was
primarily provided by net income of $7.8 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses
and other current assets of $3.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.1
million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.4
million,  an increase in income taxes payable of $1.1 million, and an increase
in deferred compensation of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in
accounts receivable of $3.3 million.  Net cash used in investing activities of
$3.7 million consisted mainly of an increase in other assets of $2.1 million and
$1.6 million of net capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.  Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.4 million consisted of
proceeds from exercise of stock options, and non-employee director 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.
