that we will pay accrued and unpaid interest in cash. We may not have sufficient cash at that time to make the
required repurchases and may be required to settle in shares of common stock.
We have a material amount of goodwill which, if it becomes impaired, would result in a reduction in our
net income.
Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of an acquisition accounted for using the purchase method
exceeds the fair value of the net assets we acquire. Current accounting standards require that goodwill no
longer be amortized but instead be periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of the
reporting unit. At December 30, 2007, approximately $471,177 or 14.6%, of our total assets represented
goodwill. Declines in our profitability may impact the fair value of our reporting units, which could result in a
write-down of our goodwill. Reductions in our net income caused by the write-down of goodwill could harm
our results of operations.

Item 2. Properties
Hasbro owns its corporate headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island consisting of approximately
343,000 square feet, which is used in the North American and Global Operations segments as well as for
corporate functions. The Company also owns an adjacent building consisting of approximately 23,000 square
feet that is used in the corporate function. In addition, the Company leases a building in East Providence,
Rhode Island consisting of approximately 120,000 square feet that is used in the corporate function as well as
in the Global Operations and other segments. In addition to the above facilities, the Company also leases
office space consisting of approximately 95,400 square feet in Renton, Washington as well as warehouse space
aggregating approximately 1,151,000 square feet in California and Texas that are also used in the North
American segment. The North American segment also has leased offices and warehouses in Canada and
Mexico.
The Company owns two manufacturing plants in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts and Waterford,
Ireland. The East Longmeadow plant consists of approximately 1,148,000 square feet as well as a leased
warehouse of approximately 500,000 square feet and is used in the North American and Global Operations
segments. The Waterford plant consists of approximately 244,000 square feet and is used in our Global
Operations segment. The Global Operations segment also leases an aggregate of 83,800 square feet of office
and warehouse space in Hong Kong used in this segment as well as approximately 52,300 square feet of office
space leased in China.
In the International segment, the Company leases or owns property in approximately 21 countries. The
primary locations in the International segment are in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Australia
and Chile.
The above properties consist, in general, of brick, cinder block or concrete block buildings which the
Company believes are in good condition and well maintained.
The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its needs. The Company believes that should it
not be able to renew any of the leases related to its leased facilities that it could secure similar substitute
properties without a material adverse impact on its operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are currently party to certain legal proceedings, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, we
believe to be material to our financial condition.
