PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
--------
(a) General Development of Business
-------------------------------
Except as expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, as
used herein, the "Company" means Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation
organized on January 8, 1926, and its subsidiaries.

The Company is a worldwide leader in children's and family leisure time and
entertainment products and services, including the design, manufacture and
marketing of games and toys ranging from traditional to high-tech. Both
internationally and in the U.S., its widely recognized core brands such as
PLAYSKOOL, TONKA, SUPER SOAKER, MILTON BRADLEY, PARKER BROTHERS, TIGER, and
WIZARDS OF THE COAST provide what the Company believes to be the highest
quality play experiences in the world. In its offerings are a broad variety of
games, including traditional board and card, hand-held electronic, electronic
interactive products, robotic pets, electronic learning aid, children's
consumer electronic, trading card, roleplaying and puzzles. Toy offerings
include boys' action, preschool, creative play and girls' toys, dolls and
plush products. The Company also licenses to others various trademarks,
characters and other property rights for use in connection with consumer
promotions and the sale by others of noncompeting toys and non-toy products.

(b) Description of Business Segments and Products
---------------------------------------------
The Company's focus on managing its business covers two major areas, Toys
and Games. Organizationally, the Company's reportable segments are U.S. Toys,
Games, International and Global Operations. Financial information with respect
to the Company's segments is included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.
In the United States, the U.S. Toy segment includes the design, development,
marketing and selling of boys' action figures, vehicles and playsets, girls'
toys, preschool toys and infant products and creative play products. The Games
segment includes the design, development, marketing and selling of traditional
board and card games and puzzles, handheld electronic games, electronic
interactive products, children's consumer electronics, electronic learning
aids, and trading card and roleplaying games. During 2000, the Games segment
also included interactive software games based on the Company's owned and
licensed brands. The business units carrying these games were sold in January
2001. Within the International segment, the Company develops, markets and
sells both toy and certain game products in non-U.S. markets. The marketing
and sale of WIZARDS OF THE COAST products internationally and TIGER products
in the United Kingdom are managed through the Company's Games segment.

Global Operations manufactures and sources product for the majority of the
Company's segments. The Company also has other segments which license certain
of the Company's intellectual property to third parties and, which develop and
market non-traditional toy and game based product and historically have
realized more than half of their revenues and the majority of their operating
profit in the first half of the year, which is contra-seasonal to the rest of
the Company's business. In 2000, these other segments did not meet the
quantitative thresholds for reportable segments.

(i) U.S. Toy
--------
In the U.S. Toy segment, the Company's products are marketed as boys' toys,
girls' toys, preschool and creative play.

Boys' toys are offered across a wide range of core popular properties such
as G.I. JOE, ACTION MAN, TRANSFORMERS action figures, and the TONKA line of
trucks and interactive toys. Other products are tied to entertainment
properties, including STAR WARS, POKEMON and BATMAN toys and accessories. In
2001, the Company will be reintroducing its TRANSFORMERS - ROBOTS IN DISGUISE
line accompanied by an all-new kids television series, as well as a kid-
focused G.I. JOE line. Also in 2001, the Company plans to introduce B.I.O.
BUGS, robotic bugs that can act autonomously using advanced "nervous network"
technology. In addition, the TONKA 2001 product line includes DUSTY MY TALKIN'
TOOL BENCH, an interactive tool bench with personality, and CHOMPER MY TALKIN'
TRUCKBOT, a follow-up to last year's award-winning TUCKER MY TALKIN' TRUCKBOT.
The Company will also feature toy lines based on JURASSIC PARK III, scheduled
for release in July 2001 and Disney/Pixar's MONSTERS, INC., which is due out
in theaters in November 2001.

Hasbro's girls' toys include the classic RAGGEDY ANN and RAGGEDY ANDY rag
dolls. The Company also offers such popular dolls as MAKEUP MINDY. In 2001,
the Company is introducing SHOEZIES collectible shoe fashions, a kids line of
collectible miniature shoes.

The U.S. Toy segment's preschool products include a portfolio of core brands
primarily marketed under the PLAYSKOOL trademark. The PLAYSKOOL line includes
such well-known products as MR. POTATO HEAD, SIT 'N SPIN and GLOWORM, as well
as a successful line of infant toys such as KICK START GYM and the FIRST
STARTS infant line, and preschool role-play products. New products being
introduced during 2001 are the PLAYSKOOL MAGIC SCREEN LEARNING DESK, which
helps children discover letters, numbers, shapes and colors on a unique,
animated light-up screen and three fun play and learn keyboards, and the
PLAYSKOOL BABY EINSTEIN product line, which incorporates music, poetry,
language and art. New 2001 products also feature a licensed product line based
on HIT Entertainment's BOB THE BUILDER, which airs on NICKELODEON.

Creative Play items for both girls and boys include such classic core lines
as PLAY-DOH, EASY-BAKE OVEN, and LITE-BRITE and SPIROGRAPH design toys. During
2001, the Company will be offering new PLAY-DOH playsets featuring CHUCK E.
CHEESE, BOB THE BUILDER, and Disney/Pixar's MONSTERS, INC., and licensed
refill bake sets for the EASY-BAKE OVEN, including CHIPS AHOY! chocolate chips
and LIFESAVERS cakes.

(ii) Games
-----
The Company markets its games and puzzles under several well known core
brands, including MILTON BRADLEY, PARKER BROTHERS, AVALON HILL, TIGER, AND
WIZARDS OF THE COAST.

The MILTON BRADLEY, PARKER BROTHERS and AVALON HILL brand portfolios consist
of a broad assortment of games for children, families and adults. The
Company's staple items include MONOPOLY, BATTLESHIP, THE GAME OF LIFE,
SCRABBLE, CHUTES AND LADDERS, CANDY LAND, TROUBLE, MOUSETRAP, OPERATION,
HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS, CONNECT FOUR, TWISTER, YAHTZEE, JENGA, CLUE, SORRY!,
RISK, BOGGLE, OUIJA, DIPLOMACY, ACQUIRE and TRIVIAL PURSUIT as well as a line
of jigsaw puzzles for children and adults. The Company has put in place a
series of marketing initiatives designed to encourage game play among a wide
variety of audiences, including MY FIRST GAMES, FAMILY GAME NIGHT and GET
TOGETHER GAMES. New product introductions for 2001 include POX, a portable
electronic game where players can compete using wireless technology, providing
numerous challenges as characters are built and collected, and M.A.G.S., the
Music Activated Games System where a player's personal choice of music
determines the game experience. In addition, new board games will include
WHEELS ON THE BUS, a preschool game based on the children's song, HANG IN
THERE, a jungle themed skill and action game, and MOODS, a party game testing
verbal and acting skills.

TIGER ELECTRONICS brand products bring innovation and technology to
entertainment and lifestyle products for the whole family. Electronic
interactive products include POO-CHI, MEOW-CHI, SUPER POO-CHI and FURBY.
Planned for 2001 are I-CYBIE, a fully articulated robo-dog that goes through
several stages of development from puppy to adult dog, as well as a broadened
line of ROBO-CHI interactive pet offerings including CHIRPY-CHI, DINO-CHI,
ROBO-BABY, and PETAL-CHI. Electronic learning aids include licensed product
featuring WINNIE THE POOH and BOB THE BUILDER. Innovative items in the 2001
line include the interactive animatronic SHELBY, a special friend of FURBY,
who has a vocabulary of more than 180 words, as well as OTTOBOT the robotic
friend and MUTSU the interactive fish. Consumer electronics include HITCLIPS
micro music systems and YAHOO! CAM. 2001 consumer electronics offerings
include i-KARAOKE, a consumer targeted portable karaoke system. Also new for
2001 is a line of robots based on the television show BATTLEBOTS that children
can build, customize and put into action.
WIZARDS OF THE COAST trading card and roleplaying games include the popular
MAGIC: THE GATHERING, DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, POKEMON and MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
SHOWDOWN. MAGIC: THE GATHERING, created in 1993, has worldwide popularity,
with more than six million players in over fifty countries. In 2001, MAGIC:
THE GATHERING - SEVENTH EDITION basic card set will be introduced as well as
the PLANESHIFT, APOCALYPSE and ODYSSEY expansions. WIZARDS OF THE COAST has a
unique organized play program for its trading card games, sanctioning over
80,000 game tournaments around the world in 2000. The Company operates
approximately 100 retail stores under the WIZARDS OF THE COAST and GAME KEEPER
names, many of which not only sell a wide range of games, but provide
important locations for tournaments and other organized play activities. New
for 2001 are the NFL SHOWDOWN and NBA SHOWDOWN trading card games which allow
players to assemble their own lineups, collect their favorite football and
basketball players and compete against other players' teams, the NEO GENESIS
and NEO DISCOVERY expansions for the POKEMON trading card game, and the HARRY
POTTER trading card game, based on the NEW YORK TIMES best-selling novels.

During 2000, the Company marketed interactive software games under the
HASBRO INTERACTIVE, MICROPROSE and EUROPRESS brands, which include ROLLER
COASTER TYCOON, CIVILIZATION, FALCON and the ATARI properties, such as
CENTIPEDE, MISSILE COMMAND, and PONG. The Company also completed the soft
launch of its internet games portal, Games.com. In December 2000, the Company
announced it had entered into an agreement with Infogrames Entertainment S.A.
(Infogrames) to sell the business units which make up Hasbro Interactive, as
well as its internet portal, Games.com. This sale closed in January 2001. In
conjunction with this agreement, the Company entered into a licensing
agreement with Infogrames whereby they will develop interactive games based on
the Company's properties. The Company will receive annual royalties, including
a minimum guarantee, from Infogrames based on sales generated under the
licensing agreement.

(iii) International
-------------
In addition to the United States, the Company operates in more than 25
countries, selling a representative range of the toy and game products
marketed in the United States, together with some items which are sold only
internationally. Key international brands for 2000 included POKEMON, ACTION
MAN and FURBY. New products for 2001 include many of those noted in the U.S.
Toy and Game segments above, as well as TURBO SNAILS, a new line of boys'
action figures.

(iv) Global Operations
-----------------
The Company primarily sources production through unrelated manufacturers in
various Far East countries, principally China, using a Hong Kong subsidiary
for quality control and order coordination purposes. The Company also
manufactures products in the United States, Ireland and Spain. See
"Manufacturing and Importing" below.

(v) Other Information
-----------------
The Company has other segments which generate revenue through the licensing
of intellectual property for promotional and merchandising uses as well as
design, develop and market certain traditional and non-traditional toy and
game based product including the SUPER SOAKER line of water products, the NERF
line of soft action play equipment, a TINKERTOY classic line, and KOOSH brand
products.

In 2001, the Company has realigned its business segments to consolidate the
toy-related products into its U.S. Toy segment. As a result, many of the
brands reflected in other segments including SUPER SOAKER, NERF, TINKERTOYS,
and KOOSH will be marketed under the boys, girls, preschool and creative play
lines of the U.S. Toy segment in the future.

To further extend its range of products in its various segments, the Company
has Hong Kong units which market directly to retailers a line of high quality,
low priced toys, games and related products, primarily on a direct import
basis. Direct sales to these customers are reflected in the revenue of the
segment in which the product sold resides.

In addition, various products are licensed to other companies for certain
countries where the Company does not otherwise have a presence.

During the 2000 fiscal year, revenues from the POKEMON trading card line of
products contributed 15% of consolidated net revenues of the Company. In 1999,
revenues from the FURBY line of products and the STAR WARS boys toys line of
products contributed 13% and 12%, respectively, of consolidated net revenues
for the Company.

Working Capital Requirements
----------------------------
The Company's production needs have been financed historically by means of
short-term borrowings which reach peak levels during September through
November of each year when receivables also generally reach peak levels. The
revenue pattern of the Company results in the second half of the year being
more significant to its overall business and, within that half, the fourth
quarter being the most prominent. The trend of retailers over the past few
years has been to make a higher percentage of their purchases within or close
to the fourth quarter holiday consumer selling season, which includes
Christmas. The Company expects that this trend will continue. The toy business
is also characterized by customer order patterns which vary from year to year
largely because of differences each year in the degree of consumer acceptance
of a product line, product availability, marketing strategies and inventory
policies of retailers, the dates of theatrical releases of major motion
pictures for which the Company has licenses for promotional product, and
differences in overall economic conditions. As a result, comparisons of
unshipped orders on any date with those at the same date in a prior year are
not necessarily indicative of sales for that entire given year. Also, quick
response inventory management practices now being used results in fewer orders
being placed in advance of shipment and more orders being placed for immediate
delivery. The Company's unshipped orders at March 4, 2001 and March 5, 2000
were approximately $166,933,000 and $375,000,000, respectively. Also, it is a
general industry practice that orders are subject to amendment or cancellation
by customers prior to shipment. The backlog at any date in a given year can be
affected by programs the Company may employ to induce its customers to place
orders and accept shipments early in the year. This method is a general
industry practice. The programs the Company is employing to promote sales in
2001 are not substantially different from those employed in 2000.

The Company commits to inventory production, advertising and marketing
expenditures prior to the peak third and fourth quarter retail selling season.
In addition, accounts receivable generally are at peak levels during the
fourth quarter and early in the first quarter of the subsequent year, making
it necessary for the Company to borrow significant amounts pending these
collections. During 2000, the Company relied on internally generated funds and
short-term borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, to finance its
working capital needs. In February 2001, the Company entered into amended and
restated secured revolving and line of credit facility agreements with its
existing lenders. These committed lines include long-term and short-term
secured credit agreements of $325,000,000 each. The facilities are secured by
substantially all domestic accounts receivable and inventory, as well as
certain investments and intangible assets of the Company. The Company is not
required to maintain compensating balances under the agreements. The
agreements contain certain restrictive covenants setting forth minimum cash
flow and coverage requirements, and a number of other limitations, including
with respect to capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, share
repurchases and dividend payments. During 2001, the Company expects to fund
its seasonal working capital needs through operations and these lines of
credit and believes that the funds available to it are adequate to meet its
needs. Amounts available for borrowing under the committed revolving and line
of credit facilities are $325,000,000 (long-term) and $325,000,000 (short-
term) and vary by quarter, with availability at its lowest point of
$300,000,000 in the first quarter of 2001. Of this amount available,
$213,000,000 is unused at March 4, 2001. In addition, the Company has
$143,000,000 of available uncommitted and unsecured lines of credit at March
4, 2001.

Royalties, Research and Development
-----------------------------------
The continuing development of new products and the redesigning of existing
items for continuing market acceptance are key determinants of success in the
toy and game industry. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, approximately $208,485,000,
$254,599,000 and $184,962,000, respectively, were incurred on activities
relating to the development, design and engineering of new products and their
packaging (including items brought to the Company by independent designers)
and to the improvement or modification of ongoing products. Much of this work
is performed by the Company's staff of designers, artists, model makers and
engineers.

In addition to its own staff, the Company deals with a number of independent
toy and game designers for whose designs and ideas the Company competes with
other toy and game manufacturers. Rights to such designs and ideas, when
acquired by the Company, are usually exclusive under agreements requiring the
Company to pay the designer a royalty on the Company's net sales of the item.
These designer royalty agreements in some cases provide for advance royalties
and minimum guarantees.
The Company also produces a number of toys under trademarks and copyrights
utilizing the names or likenesses of familiar movie, television and comic
strip characters, for whose rights the Company competes with other toy and
game manufacturers. Licensing fees are generally paid as a royalty on the
Company's net sales of the item. Licenses for the use of characters are
generally exclusive for specific products or product lines in specified
territories. In many instances, advance royalties and minimum guarantees are
required by character license agreements. Under terms of agreements existing
at December 31, 2000, in certain circumstances the Company may be required to
pay an aggregate of up to $741,000,000 in guaranteed or minimum royalties
between 2001 and 2007. Of this amount, approximately $238,000,000 has been
paid. Approximately $58,000,000 is included in the $66,509,000 of prepaid
royalties which are a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets
on the balance sheet. Included in other assets is $180,000,000 representing
the long-term portion of the amount paid. Of the remaining unpaid minimum
guaranty, Hasbro may be required to pay approximately $44,000,000,
$193,000,000, $89,000,000, $56,000,000, and $121,000,000 in 2001, 2002, 2003,
2004 and 2005, respectively. Such payments are related to royalties which are
expected to be incurred on anticipated revenues in the years 2001 through
2008.

Marketing and Sales
-------------------
The Company's products are sold nationally and internationally to a broad
spectrum of customers including wholesalers, distributors, chain stores,
discount stores, mail order houses, catalog stores, department stores and
other traditional retailers, large and small, as well as internet-based "e-
tailers." The Company and its subsidiaries employ their own sales forces which
account for the majority of sales of their products. Remaining sales are
generated by independent distributors who sell the Company's products
principally in areas of the world where the Company does not otherwise
maintain a presence. With the acquisition of Wizards of the Coast, Inc. in the
fourth quarter of 1999, the Company acquired a specialized line of retail
stores featuring game, hobby and related products and an area for in-store
game play, as well as an online retail site. The Company maintains showrooms
in New York and selected other major cities world-wide as well as at most of
its subsidiary locations. Although the Company had more than 3,500 customers
in the United States and Canada during 2000 with the inclusion of specialty
retailers carrying trading card games and toy-related product there has been
significant consolidation at the retail level over the last several years, and
the majority of the Company's sales are to large chain stores, distributors
and wholesalers. In other countries, the Company has in excess of 20,000
customers, many of which are individual retail stores. During 2000, sales to
the Company's two largest customers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Toys `R Us,
Inc., represented 14% and 13%, respectively, of consolidated net revenues, and
sales to its top five customers accounted for approximately 41% of
consolidated net revenues.

The Company advertises many of its toy and game products extensively on
television. The Company generally advertises selected items in its product
groups in a manner designed to promote the sale of other specific items in
those product groups. Through 2001, the Company introduced its new products in
New York City at the time of the American International Toy Fair in February.
It also introduced some of its products to major customers during the prior
year.

In 2000, the Company spent approximately $452,978,000 in advertising,
promotion and marketing programs compared to $456,978,000 in 1999 and
$440,692,000 in 1998.

Manufacturing and Importing
---------------------------
During 2000, the Company's products were manufactured in third party
facilities in the Far East as well as in the Company's own three principal
facilities located in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Waterford, Ireland, and
Valencia, Spain. Most of its products are manufactured from basic raw
materials such as plastic, paper and cardboard, although certain products also
make use of electronic components. All of these materials are readily
available but may be subject to significant fluctuations in price. The
Company's manufacturing processes include injection molding, blow molding,
spray painting, printing, box making and assembly. The Company purchases
certain components and accessories used in its toys and games and some
finished items from United States manufacturers as well as from manufacturers
in the Far East, which is the largest manufacturing center of toys in the
world, and other countries. The 1996 implementation of the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade reduced or eliminated customs duties on many products
imported by the Company. The Company believes that the manufacturing capacity
of third party manufacturers as well as its own facilities and the supply of
components, accessories and completed products which it purchases from
unaffiliated manufacturers are adequate to meet the demand in 2001 for the
products which it markets. The Company's reliance on external sources of
manufacturing can be shifted, over a period of time, to alternative sources of
supply for products it sells, should such changes be necessary.

However, if the Company is prevented from obtaining products from a
substantial number of its current Far East suppliers due to political, labor
or other factors beyond its control, the Company's operations would be
disrupted while alternative sources of product were secured. In 2000, the
United States Congress approved "permanent normal trade relations" status for
China, which was intended to eliminate the United States' annual review of
China trade relations status. China has signed similar agreements with the
European Union and other World Trade Organizations members in order to gain
support for its entry into the World Trade Organization, although such entry
is not guaranteed at this time. However, the imposition of trade sanctions by
the United States or the European Union against a class of products imported
by the Company from, or the loss of "normal trade relations" status by, the
People's Republic of China could significantly increase the cost of the
Company's products imported into the United States or Europe.

The Company makes its own tools and fixtures for its manufacturing
facilities but purchases dies and molds principally from independent United
States and international sources.
Competition
-----------
The Company's business is highly competitive and it competes with several
large and many small United States and international designers, manufacturers
and marketers. The Company is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture
and marketing of games and toys.

Employees
---------
At December 31, 2000, the Company employed approximately 8,900 persons
worldwide, approximately 5,500 of whom are located in the United States.

Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents
----------------------------------
The Company's products are protected, for the most part and in as many
countries as practical, by registered trademarks, copyrights and patents to
the extent that such protection is available and meaningful. The loss of such
rights concerning any particular product would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, although the loss of such protection for a
number of significant items might have such an effect.

Government Regulation
---------------------
The Company's toy and game products sold in the United States are subject to
the provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Act (the "CPSA"), The Federal
Hazardous Substances Act (the "FHSA"), the Flammable Fabrics Act (the "FFA"),
and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The CPSA empowers the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (the "CPSC") to take action against hazards
presented by consumer products, including the formulation and implementation
of regulations and uniform safety standards. The CPSC has the authority to
seek to declare a product "a banned hazardous substance" under the CPSA and to
ban it from commerce. The CPSC can file an action to seize and condemn an
"imminently hazardous consumer product" under the CPSA and may also order
equitable remedies such as recall, replacement, repair or refund for the
product. The FHSA provides for the repurchase by the manufacturer of articles
which are banned. Consumer product safety laws also exist in some states and
cities within the United States and in Canada, Australia and Europe. The
Company maintains laboratories which have testing and other procedures
intended to maintain compliance with the CPSA, the FHSA, the FFA,
international standards, and the Company's own standards. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, there can be no assurance that all of the Company's products are or
will be hazard free. Any material product recall could have an effect on the
Company, depending on the product, and could affect sales of other products.

The Children's Television Act of 1990 and the rules promulgated thereunder
by the United States Federal Communications Commission as well as the laws of
certain countries place certain limitations on television commercials during
children's programming.

The Company maintains programs to comply with various United States federal,
state, local and international requirements relating to the environment, plant
safety and other matters.
Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors
------------------------------------------
From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development
activities and similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are known by, or self-
evident to, the investing public. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. These
statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases
such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "expect," "intend," "looking
forward," "may," "planned," "potential," "should," "will" and "would." In
order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a
variety of factors could cause its actual results and experience to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in its
forward-looking statements. The factors listed below are illustrative and
other risks and uncertainties may arise as are or may be detailed from time to
time in the Company's public announcements and filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the
operations, performance, development and results of Hasbro's business and
impact forward looking information are as follows:

Volatility of consumer preferences and the high level of competition in
the
family entertainment industry makes it difficult to maintain the long-term
success of existing product lines and consistently introduce successful
new
products.

Our business and operating results depend largely upon the appeal of our
family entertainment products, principally games and toys. A decline in the
popularity of our existing products and product lines or the failure of new
products and product lines to achieve and sustain market acceptance could
result in reduced overall revenues and margins, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.
Our continued success will depend on our ability to redesign, restyle and
extend our existing family entertainment product lines and to develop,
introduce and gain customer acceptance of new family entertainment product
lines. However consumer preferences with respect to family entertainment are
continuously changing and are difficult to predict. Individual family
entertainment products typically have short life cycles. The success of
entertainment properties released theatrically, such as STAR WARS related
productions, can significantly impact revenues derived by the Company from
licensed product related to that property. In addition, competition in the
industry could adversely impact our ability to secure, maintain, and renew
popular licenses, and to attract and retain the talented employees necessary
to design, develop and market successful products. There can be no assurances
that:

1) Any of our current products or product lines will continue to be popular
for any significant period of time;
2) Any property for which the Company has a significant license will achieve
popularity;

3) Any new products and product lines introduced by us will achieve an
adequate degree of market acceptance; or

4) Any new product's life cycle will be sufficient to permit us to
profitably recover development, manufacturing, marketing, royalties (including
royalty advances and guarantees) and other costs of the product; or

5) We will be able to manufacture, source and ship new or continuing
products in a timely basis to meet consumer demands.

Our business is seasonal and therefore our annual operating results will
depend, in large part, on our sales during the relatively brief holiday
season. Further, this seasonality is increasing, as large retailers
become more efficient in their control of inventory levels through quick
response management techniques.

Sales of our family entertainment products at retail are seasonal, with a
majority of retail sales occurring during the period from September through
December in anticipation of the holiday season. This seasonality is
increasing, as large retailers become more efficient in their control of
inventory levels through quick response management techniques. These customers
are timing reorders so that they are being filled by suppliers closer to the
time of purchase by consumers, which to a large extent occur during September
through December, rather than maintaining large on-hand inventories throughout
the year to meet consumer demand. While these techniques reduce a retailer's
investment in inventory, they increase pressure on suppliers like us to fill
orders promptly and shift a significant portion of inventory risk and carrying
costs to the supplier. The limited inventory carried by retailers may also
reduce or delay retail sales. Additionally, the logistics of supplying more
and more product within shorter time periods will increase the risk that we
fail to achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules. This seasonal pattern
requires significant use of working capital mainly to manufacture inventory
during the year, prior to the holiday season, and requires accurate
forecasting of demand for products during the holiday season. Our failure to
accurately predict and respond to consumer demand could result in our
underproducing popular items and overproducing less popular items.

The continuing consolidation of our retail customer base means that
changes in the purchasing policies of our major customers could have a
significant impact on us.

If one or more of our major customers were to experience difficulties in
fulfilling their obligations to us, cease doing business with us, or
significantly reduce the amount of their purchases from us, it could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
and Toys R Us, Inc. accounted for approximately 14% and 13%, respectively, of
our consolidated net revenues and our five largest customers, including Wal-
Mart and Toys R Us, in the aggregate accounted for approximately 41% of our
consolidated net revenues.
We may not realize anticipated benefits of acquisitions or these benefits
may be delayed or reduced in their realization.

Acquisitions have been a significant part of our growth over the years and
have enabled us to further broaden and diversify our product offerings. While
we target companies having what we believe to be attractive family
entertainment product offerings, there can be no assurance that the products
of companies we acquire will continue to be popular. In addition, in some
cases, we expect that the integration of the product lines of the companies
that we acquire into our operations will create production, marketing and
other operating synergies. We believe that creating these synergies can create
greater revenue growth and profitability and, where applicable, cost savings,
operating efficiencies and other synergies. However, we can provide no
assurances that these synergies, efficiencies and cost savings will be
realized. Even if achieved, these benefits may be delayed or reduced in their
realization. In other cases, we acquire companies with what we believe to have
strong and creative management, in which case we plan to create synergies by
operating them autonomously rather than integrating them into our operations.
There can be no assurance, however, that the key talented individuals at these
companies will continue to work for us after the acquisition or that they will
continue to develop popular and profitable products or services. Moreover,
because of limitations in our credit agreements, we are limited in our ability
to make substantial acquisitions in the near term. Although we plan to focus
greater attention and resources on our core owned and controlled brands, there
is no assurance that such efforts will produce revenue growth to replace the
growth historically provided by acquisitions.

Our sales and manufacturing operations outside the United States subject
us to risks normally associated with international operations.

Various international risks could negatively impact our international sales
and manufacturing operations, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, our net revenues from international customers
comprised approximately 41% of our total consolidated net revenues. We expect
our sales to international customers to continue to account for a significant
portion of our revenues. Additionally, we utilize third-party manufacturers
principally in the Far East and we have manufacturing facilities in Ireland
and Spain. These sales and manufacturing operations are subject to the risks
normally associated with international operations, including:

1) Currency conversion risks and currency fluctuations;

2) Limitations, including taxes, on the repatriation of earnings;

3) Political instability, civil unrest and economic instability;

4) Greater difficulty enforcing intellectual property rights and weaker laws
protecting such rights;

5) Complications in complying with laws in varying jurisdictions and changes
in governmental policies;
6) Natural disasters and the greater difficulty and expense in recovering
therefrom;

7) Transportation delays and interruptions; and

8) The imposition of tariffs.

Our reliance on external sources of manufacturing can be shifted, over a
period of time, to alternative sources of supply, should such changes be
necessary. However, if we were prevented from obtaining products or components
for a material portion of our product line due to political, labor or other
factors beyond our control, Hasbro's operations would be disrupted while
alternative sources of products were secured. Also, the imposition of trade
sanctions by the United States or the European Union against a class of
products imported by us from, or the loss of "normal trade relations" status
by, the Peoples Republic of China could significantly increase our cost of
products imported into the United States or Europe.

The impact of market conditions, government actions and regulations and
other third party conduct could negatively impact implementation of the
Company's consolidation programs, margins, and other business initiatives.

Economic conditions, such as rising fuel prices, may adversely impact our
margins. Other conditions, such as the unavailability of electrical
components, may impede our ability to manufacture, source and ship new and
continuing products on a timely basis. Other conditions outside of our control
could delay or increase the cost of implementing our consolidation programs or
alter our actions and reduce actual results.

The impact of our reduced ability to obtain external financing at low
rates and the restrictions imposed by our amended and restated credit
facility agreements could alter our business practices.

In February 2001, we entered into amended and restated secured revolving and
line of credit facility agreements with our existing lenders. The facilities
are secured by substantially all of our domestic accounts receivable and
inventory, as well as certain of our investments and intangible assets. The
agreements contain certain restrictive covenants setting forth minimum cash
flow and coverage requirements, and a number of other limitations, including
restrictions on capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, share
repurchases and dividend payments. These restrictive covenants may limit our
future actions, and financial, operating and strategic flexibility.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with our cash and
access to existing credit facilities, are adequate for current and planned
needs in 2001. However, our actual experience may differ from these
expectations. Factors that may lead to a difference include, but are not
limited to, the matters discussed herein as well as future events that might
have the effect of reducing our available cash balance (such as unexpected
material operating losses or increased capital or other expenditures, as well
as increases in inventory or accounts receivable) or future events that may
reduce or eliminate the availability of external financial resources. Our
failure to comply with covenants in our credit agreements could result in
significant negative consequences.
