AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 (Unaudited) NOTE A - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain amounts in the financial statements of prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. NOTE B - LEGAL RECOVERY For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, other selling and administrative expenses were reduced by $2.3 million received in settlement of a claim for damages. This benefit was partially offset by $1.3 million and $2.0 million of unusual legal expenses incurred during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, related to this claim and a lawsuit where the Company is the plaintiff. NOTE C - CREDIT AGREEMENT On March 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Congress Financial Corporation (Central) (the "Lender"). The Loan Agreement extends through March 31, 1997 and provides a line of credit of $40 million, with a provision to increase the line to $60 million at the option of the Company. Borrowing availability is determined by a formula based on both accounts receivable and inventories. The interest rate is at prime rate plus 1%. In consideration for entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company paid a $100,000 fee; additional fees will be due if the Company exercises its option to increase the line. The Company has also agreed to pay an unused line fee of 0.25% and certain management fees. 4 8 LEWIS GALOOB TOYS, INC.

NOTE E - TOOLING AND RELATED COSTS Effective beginning January 1, 1996, the Company changed the timing of its annual amortization of tooling, packaging design and sample costs. These costs are now being amortized on a percentage of annual sales basis rather than the previous straight-line basis. The Company believes this change improves the matching of costs and revenues within the annual period. The effect of this change in timing was to decrease costs of products sold and increase net income by approximately $900,000 or $.06 per common share for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and decrease costs of products sold and net loss by approximately $1,500,000 or $.12 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This change in estimate will result in no impact on net income on an annual basis. Research and development expenses incurred amounted to $2,631,000 and $2,130,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively and $5,063,000 and $4,466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. NOTE F - INCOME TAXES At December 31, 1995, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $7,300,000. The carryforwards expire in various years through the year 2008. The Company also has federal minimum tax credit carryforwards of $1,028,000 that are allowed to be carried forward indefinitely and federal research and development credits of $765,000, which will expire in various years through the year 2003. If certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of operating loss carryforwards which can be utilized. No domestic deferred taxes have been provided on unremitted earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiary. All such earnings are expected to be reinvested in the subsidiary. Undistributed earnings, for which the Company has not provided U.S. taxes which may be payable on distribution, were approximately $5,200,000 as of December 31, 1995. No foreign taxes will be withheld on the distribution of the untaxed earnings. NOTE G - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The current status of litigation is described in Part II, Item 1, herein. 5 9 LEWIS GALOOB TOYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 (Unaudited) NOTE H - LONG-TERM DEBT In February 1996, the Company issued a call for the redemption of its 8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures originally due November 30, 2000 (the "Debentures"). This call resulted in the conversion on March 15, 1996, of all $14,000,000 Debentures at $9.26 per share and the issuance of 1,511,872 new shares of common stock. NOTE I - SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY In February 1996, the Company offered to exchange 1.85 shares of its common stock for each Depositary Exchangeable Preferred Share (the "Depositary Shares") outstanding. Each Depositary Share represents 1/10th of a share of $17.00 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock. This inducement offer was accepted by the owners of 98% of the Depositary Shares resulting in the issuance of 3,336,433 shares of common stock on March 29, 1996. Generally accepted accounting principles require a non-cash charge to reduce Net Earnings Applicable to Common Shares in the calculation of Earnings Per Share for the fair value of the securities issued in excess of the existing conversion rate of approximately 1.185 common shares. This charge amounted to $24,279,000 and had the effect of increasing the net loss per common share by $2.32 from $.39 to $2.71 in the first quarter of 1996 and by $1.90 from $.29 to $2.19 in the six months ended June 30, 1996. Of the remaining 2% Depositary Shares, approximately 1% of the shares were converted using the conversion rate of approximately 1.185 common shares and the remaining 1% were redeemed in cash for approximately $462,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. NOTE J - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT The FASB issued a new standard, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to continue accounting for employee stock options and similar equity instruments under APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has determined to continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion 25 and will make required pro forma disclosures in the notes to its consolidated financial statements. The Company will be required to adopt the new standard for the year ending December 31, 1996. 6 10 LEWIS GALOOB TOYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations To improve the matching of costs and revenues, the Company has revised the timing of its annual amortization of tooling, packaging design and sample costs. These costs are now being amortized on a percentage of annual sales basis rather than the previous straight-line basis. This change increased net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 by $.06 per common share and reduced the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996 by $.12 per common share. The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage relationships between revenues and certain expense and earnings items:

1996 Compared to 1995 Net sales increased 29% to $49.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $38.2 million in the second quarter of 1995. These second quarter results were driven by high worldwide consumer demand across virtually the entire Galoob product line. The Company's second quarter domestic sales rose by 53% over 1995, marking the second consecutive quarter of sales growth in excess of 50%. Domestic consumer demand for the Company's products, a key indicator of product line strength, ran at more than 50% ahead of the prior year. Internationally, the product line's strength overcame a difficult retail environment. The Company's international unit set a new second quarter sales record as international sales increased 4% to $19.5 million in 1996 from $18.8 million in 1995. 7 11 LEWIS GALOOB TOYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's worldwide sales of boys' toys increased 59.4% in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the second quarter of 1995. The growth in net sales of the boys' toys line of business for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was attributable to the following: (1) worldwide sales of Micro Machines(R), led by the recently introduced Star Wars(TM) Action Fleet(TM), an extensive line of Star Wars vehicles, playsets and miniature action figures, increased by 41% versus the comparable period from the previous year, and (2) in March 1996, the Company initiated sales of Dragon Flyz(TM) , a line of flying action figures plus vehicles and accessories. This increase was offset by a decrease in sales of Biker Mice From Mars(TM). The Company's worldwide sales of girls' toys increased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was led principally by the Pound Puppies(R) line. Net sales increased 21% to $86.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $71.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995. The growth in net sales in the first six months of 1996 was attributable to the domestic sales which increased 53.7%, rising to $56.3 million. International sales decreased 13%, reflecting slower first quarter sales prior to the second quarter recovery. The growth in net sales of the boys' and girls' toys line of business for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was attributable to the same factors noted for the second quarter. Gross margins increased $9.5 million to $22.8 in the second quarter of 1996 from $13.3 million in the second quarter of 1995. The higher sales volume increased gross margin by $3.8 million and an increase in the gross margin rate accounted for $5.7 million. The gross margin rate increased to 46.3% in the second quarter of 1996 from 34.7% in the second quarter of 1995. The increase in the gross margin rate was attributable to the following: (1) economies of scale associated with the utilization of tooling, (2) reduced product costs, (3) a change in product mix, and (4) a favorable mix of sales between domestic and international markets. The Company's gross margin rate on domestic sales is significantly greater than foreign sales because the Company's prices on foreign sales are lower than on domestic sales as the foreign customer is responsible for the cost of importing and promoting the products. To improve the matching of costs and revenues, in January 1996, the Company revised the timing of its amortization of tooling and packaging design costs. These costs are now being amortized on a percentage of annual sales basis rather than the previous straight-line basis. This change also contributed to the gross margin improvement but will reverse during the second half of the year. Gross margins increased $13.8 million to $38.9 million in the first six months of 1996 from $25.1 million in the first six months of 1995. The higher sales volume increased the gross margin by $5.3 million and an increase in the gross margin rate accounted for $8.5 million. The gross margin rate 8 12 LEWIS GALOOB TOYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS increased to 44.9% in the first six months of 1996 from 35.1% in the first six months of 1995. The increase in the gross margin rate was attributable to the same factors noted for the second quarter. Advertising and promotion expenses were $6.6 million in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, these expenses were $12.4 million as compared to $9.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995. The higher expenses were primarily a result of a planned increase in domestic television advertising expenses in connection with the Company's expanded product lines and sales growth. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, these television advertising expenses were a higher percentage of consolidated net revenues as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995. However, as a percentage of domestic net revenues, these expenses were slightly lower. Other selling and administrative expenses were $5.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $5.9 million in the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, these expenses were $13.3 million as compared to $12.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995. Other selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were reduced by $2.3 million received in settlement of a claim for damages. This benefit was partially offset by $1.3 million and $2.0 million of unusual legal expenses incurred during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, related to this claim and a lawsuit where the Company is the plaintiff. Additionally, the Company incurred higher planned personnel costs during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996. Royalties, research and development expenses were $9.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, these expenses were $15.5 million as compared to $10.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in the second quarter of 1996 was due to higher royalty expenses associated with increased sales volume and the write-off of royalty advances associated with discontinued products as well as increased research and development expenses associated with the expansion of the Company's lines of toys. The increase in royalties, research and development for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995 was due to the same factors noted for the second quarter. Interest expense was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, this expense was $1.6 million as compared to $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was due primarily to higher average borrowings outstanding during the three and six month periods partially offset by a lower average interest rate and the retirement of the 8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures originally due November 30, 2000 (the "Debentures"). 9 13 LEWIS GALOOB TOYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS No tax recovery was reported because of the cumulative net operating loss brought forward into the year. At December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.3 million and unused federal tax credits of approximately $1.8 million available to reduce taxes in future periods. At December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, the Company maintained a valuation reserve on its net deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to periodically evaluate this reserve in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company's products are produced principally in China, which currently is designated with Most Favored Nations ("MFN") status by the United States. This allows products imported into the United States from China to be accorded the most favorable import duties. In late 1994, Congress approved the GATT (Uruguay round), which allows imports into the United States of toy merchandise with unconditional duty-free entry from any nation with MFN status. Generally, the trade negotiations between China and the United States have been difficult, but both sides have shown their willingness to resolve trade disputes and avoid punitive sanctions. Punitive sanctions could result in the United States imposing higher duties on selective Chinese-made products imported into the United States (these sanctions would be put in place through Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended). In the past, Section 301 sanctions proposed by the United States did not include sanctions or punitive damages against toy imports from China. As such, the Company would be unaffected. The loss of MFN status for China, however, would result in a substantial increase in import duty for the Company's products produced in China and imported into the United States. This increase in duty would be large enough that it could materially affect the Company's business. Products shipped from China to other countries should not be affected. Other toy companies also source product from China and would be affected to similar degrees. However, the impact on the Company from any significant change in duties on its Chinese-produced product would depend on several factors including, but not limited to, the Company's ability to (1) procure alternative manufacturing sources outside of China, (2) retrieve its tooling located in China, (3) relocate its production in sufficient time to meet demand, and (4) pass cost increases likely to be incurred resultant from (1)-(3) above through to the Company's customers as product price increases.

AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Expenditures Demand for the Company's products is greatest in the third and fourth quarter of the year. A substantial portion of the Company's shipments to customers in the United States are made on terms that permit payment more than 90 days after shipment of merchandise. This results in collections peaking in the fourth quarter and first quarter of the following year. Goods sold directly from the Far East are primarily sold under bank letters of credit, with most payments received within 30 days of shipment. Due to the seasonality of its revenues and collections, the Company's working capital requirements fluctuate significantly during the year. The Company's seasonal financing requirements are highest during the fourth quarter. On March 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Congress Financial Corporation (Central) (the "Lender"). The Loan Agreement extends through March 31, 1997 and provides a line of credit of $40 million, with provision to increase the line to $60 million at the option of the Company. Borrowing availability is determined by a formula based on qualified assets. The interest is at prime rate plus 1%. The Loan Agreement provides that dividend payments may not be made without the prior consent of the Lender. At June 30, 1996, approximately $34.6 million was outstanding and $5.1 million was available to borrow under the Loan Agreement. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company completed two transactions which strengthened its capital structure. First, in February 1996, the Company issued a call for the redemption of its Debentures. This call resulted in the conversion on March 15, 1996, of all $14,000,000 Debentures at $9.26 per share. This conversion resulted in the issuance of 1,511,872 new shares of common stock. Second, also in February 1996, the Company offered to exchange 1.85 shares of its common stock for each Depositary Exchangeable Preferred Share (the "Depositary Shares") outstanding. Each Depositary Share represents 1/10th of a share of $17.00 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock. This inducement offer was accepted by the owners of 98% of the Depositary Shares resulting in the issuance of 3,336,433 shares of common stock on March 29, 1996. In June 1996, the remaining 2% Depositary Shares were converted into common stock or redeemed for cash. See Note I. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company used $16.2 million of cash in its operating activities. The usage resulted from the net loss, increases in inventories, tooling and related costs and prepaid expenses and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. These changes reflect the Company's normal seasonal pattern and the increase in sales volume. Working capital was $47.6 million at June 30, 1996 as compared to $54.7 million at December 31, 1995 and $43.1 million at June 30, 1995. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.8 to 11 15 LEWIS GALOOB TOYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1.0 at June 30, 1996 as compared to 2.1 to 1.0 at December 31, 1995 and 2.1 to 1.0 at June 30, 1995. The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 1996. The Company believes that with its assets, the results of operations and the Loan Agreement it has adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet its current and anticipated operating needs. 12 16 Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in various litigation and legal matters which are being prosecuted and defended in the ordinary course of business. None of these matters are expected to result in outcomes having a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. Item 6.
