THE TOPPS COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AUGUST 26, 2006 AND FEBRUARY 25, 2006
AND FOR THE THIRTEEN AND TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 26, 2006 AND
AUGUST 27, 2005

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by The
Topps Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation.
Operating results for the twenty-six week periods ended August 26, 2006 and August 27, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the
Company's annual report for the year ended February 25, 2006.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48,"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109." This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial
statements in accordance with FASB No. 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This
Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of analyzing the
impact that this Interpretation may have on its consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company is not in a position to
conclude whether the adoption of this Interpretation will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157
"Fair Value Measurements."  This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies
under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in
those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Quarterly Comparison

Management believes that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of sales and operating results are affected by a
number of factors, including, but not limited to, the timing of sports and entertainment releases, new product introductions, seasonal
products, the timing of various expenses such as advertising and variations in shipping and factory scheduling requirements. Thus,
quarterly results may vary.

5. Share-Based Compensation Plans

Effective February 26, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123
(revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") using the modified prospective transition method. Under
this method, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes and the Company recognizes compensation cost using a fair-value
based method for all share-based payments granted after February 25, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees up through
February 25, 2006 that remain unvested at that time. Prior to February 26, 2006, the Company accounted for its share-based
compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation-An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25". On
November 10, 2005, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, "Transition Election Related to Accounting
for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards." The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided
in this FASB Staff Position for purposes of calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized
subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R.

The Company has Stock Option Plans that allow for the granting of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock
options (within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code) stock appreciation rights (SARs) and restricted stock to
employees, non-employee directors and consultants.  In the past, options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing
market price of the stock on the day immediately prior to the grant date.  In 2006, the Company amended its 2001 Stock Incentive Plan
to provide that options will be granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the stock on the grant date.  Options
generally vest within a three to five-year period and expire ten years after the grant date.  Each year, on the date of the Company's
Annual Meeting of Stockholders each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company is automatically granted a number
of shares of restricted stock equal to $20,000 divided by the the closing market price of the stock on the date of the Annual Meeting.
These director awards will vest on the date of the next regularly scheduled Annual Meeting, provided that if the next Annual Meeting is
not scheduled within thirteen months of the date of grant, such the awards will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant.  The
Company re-issues treasury shares to satisfy restricted stock grants and when stock options are exercised and the Company
anticipates that it will have enough treasury shares to cover all outstanding stock options.

The Company recorded compensation cost arising from share-based payment arrangements in selling, general
and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Company's Stock Option Plans of
$61,000 and zero for the thirteen weeks ended August 26, 2006 and August 27, 2005, respectively, and $115,000 and $0 for the
twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006 and August 27, 2005, respectively.



As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the Company's income before provision for income taxes and net income
for the thirteen weeks ended August 26, 2006 was $61,000 and $40,000 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for
share-based compensation in accordance with the provision of APB Opinion No. 25.  The Company's income before provision for
income taxes and net income for the twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006 was $115,000 and $77,000 lower, respectively than if it
had continued to account for share-based compensation in accordance with the provision of APB Opinion No. 25.  Basic and diluted
income per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006 did not change materially from the reported income per
share, upon the Company's adoption of SFAS 123R.

Determining Fair Value

Valuation and Amortization Method: The fair value of stock options granted under
the Company's Stock Option Plans is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options granted
after February 25, 2006 will be amortized on a straight-line basis. Compensation expense is amortized over the requisite service
periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods.

Expected Volatility:   Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable, such as
share price, has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility). The expected volatility of stock option
awards at the date of grant is estimated based on the historical selling price of the Company's securities. The decision to use historical
volatility was based upon the lack of availability of actively traded options on the Company's common stock. Prior to the adoption of
SFAS 123R, the Company calculated expected volatility using historical stock price volatility.

Expected Term: The expected term of an employee share option is the period of time for
which the option is expected to be outstanding. The Company has made a determination of expected term by analyzing employees'
historical exercise experience and post-vesting employment termination behavior from its history of grants and exercises in the
Company's option database. The historical pattern of options exercised has been analyzed in an effort to determine if there were any
discernable patterns of activity based on certain demographic characteristics such as employees' length of service, salary and job
level.

Risk-Free Interest Rate:   The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model
is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used.

Dividends: On June 26, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company initiated a regular
quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share.  An expected dividend yield of $0.16 was used in the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Forfeiture: The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures.
Share-based compensation expense is recorded only for those awards that are expected to vest.

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted under the Company's Stock
Option Plans for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006:

(1) The number of shares outstanding has been adjusted from previously reported figures due to 13,333
shares incorrectly reported as forfeited during the year ended February 25, 2006.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the thirteen weeks ended August 26, 2006 was $2.54
and there were no stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended August 27, 2005. The weighted average fair value of options
granted during the twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006 was $2.46 and there were no stock options granted during the twenty-six
weeks ended August 27, 2005.  The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at August 26, 2006 is calculated as the
difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the 1,969,916
shares that had exercise prices that were lower than the $8.69 market price of the Company's common stock at August 25, 2006.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the thirteen weeks ended August 26, 2006 and August 27, 2005 was $0 and $0,
respectively, determined as of the date of exercise.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the twenty-six weeks ended
August 26, 2006 and August 27, 2005 was $413,000 and $251,000, respectively, determined as of the date of exercise.

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006, the Company recognized approximately $61,000
and $115,000 in share-based compensation expense for stock options granted under the Company's Stock Option Plans. As of August
26, 2006, there was $470,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements
granted under the Company's Stock Option Plans. This amount assumes the Company's expected forfeiture rate. That cost is expected
to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.87 years. The Company utilizes treasury shares to satisfy the exercise of stock
options.

6. Segment Information

Following is the breakdown of industry segments as required by FASB No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company has two reportable business segments: Confectionery and
Entertainment.

The Confectionery segment consists of a variety of candy products including Ring Pop, Push Pop, Baby Bottle
Pop, Juicy Drop Pop, the Bazooka bubble gum line and, from time to time, confectionery products based on licensed characters, such
as Pokemon.

The Entertainment segment primarily consists of trading cards and sticker album products featuring sports and
non-sports subjects. Trading cards feature players from Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National
Football League, as well as characters from popular films, television shows and other entertainment properties. Sticker album products
feature players from the English Premier League and characters from entertainment properties such as Pokemon. This segment also
includes results from WizKids, a designer and marketer of strategy games acquired in July 2003.

Beginning with the quarter ended May 27, 2006, the Company began evaluating performance of each segment
based upon its operating profit after direct overhead which is defined as net sales less cost of goods, product development, advertising
and promotional costs, obsolescence and personnel and other direct overhead costs, but before unallocated general and administrative
expenses (indirect overhead) including rent, most insurance, professional fees and corporate personnel costs such as finance,
management information systems, legal and human resources, depreciation and amortization, other income (expense), net interest and
income taxes.

The majority of the Company's assets are shared across both segments, and the Company's chief decision-maker
does not evaluate the performance of each segment utilizing asset-based measures. Therefore, the Company does not include a
breakdown of assets or depreciation and amortization by segment.

The information provided below for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 27, 2005, have been reclassified to conform to
the current year's presentation.

7. Common Stock

In June 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company initiated a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.04
per share which has been paid each quarter since that date.

In October 2001, the Company completed the authorization and the Board approved the purchase of 5 million
shares of the Company's common stock.  As of February 26, 2005, the Company had purchased 3,390,700 shares related to this
authorization, leaving 1,609,300 shares available for future purchases.

During the first half of fiscal 2006, the Company did not purchase any shares due to a strategic business review
that was performed by investment banking and consulting firms. In September 2005, the Company entered into a written trading plan
that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provides for the purchase of up to
500,000 shares for each of the next four quarters starting in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 at the prevailing market price, per share,
subject to certain conditions. In addition, the Board of Directors increased the outstanding share authorization by 3,390,700 shares to 5
million shares. As of August 26, 2006, the Company had purchased 2,125,544 shares under this amended authorization, leaving
2,874,456 shares available for future purchases.

Each of the members of the Board of Directors who is not an employee of the Company annually receives
$20,000 worth of restricted stock, which is issued from treasury stock and vests over one year.

8. Credit Agreement

On September 14, 2004, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The
agreement provides for a $30.0 million unsecured facility to cover revolver and letter of credit needs and expires on September 13,
2007. Interest rates are variable and a function of market rates and the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. The credit agreement contains restrictions and prohibitions of a nature generally found in loan agreements of this type and
requires the Company, among other things, to comply with certain financial covenants, limits the Company's ability to sell or acquire
assets or borrow additional money and places certain restrictions on the purchase of Company shares and the payment of dividends.
The credit agreement may be terminated by the Company at any point over the three-year term (provided the Company repays all
outstanding amounts thereunder) without penalty.

There was no debt outstanding under the credit agreement as of August 26, 2006 or February 25, 2006.

9. Discontinued Operations - thePit.com

In August 2001, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock of thePit.com, Inc., which
operated a sports card exchange, for a net cash purchase price of $5.7 million.  The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and resulted in recognizing $0.8 million in intangible assets and $4.1 million in goodwill.  The Company included
this subsidiary in the Entertainment segment of its business.  The Company was unable to operate the subsidiary profitably and in
January 2006 sold the subsidiary for $0.4 million, with scheduled payments to be made over four years.

Per SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," the net book value of the
assets of thePit.com, Inc., which consisted primarily of the $4.1 million goodwill from the acquisition as well as smaller amounts of
inventory and unamortized intangibles, was written down by $2.4 million net of tax to $0.4 million, which is the fair value of the assets
based on the expected proceeds from the sale of the subsidiary.

The Company incurred an additional $32,000 in expense, net of tax, related to the discontinued operations
during the twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006.

The purchaser has paid the Company $35,000 of the $360,000 sales price as of August 26, 2006.  The
remaining $325,000 is reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of August 26, 2006.  The Company has restated its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
twenty-six weeks ended August 27, 2005 to reflect this discontinued operation.

10. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

On March 3, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"which require the Company to prospectively cease amortization of
goodwill and instead conduct periodic tests of goodwill for impairment. Intangible assets as of August 26, 2006 and February 25, 2006
were as follows:

`August 26, 2006                February 25, 2006

                              =========  ===========  =========  =========  ===========  =========`

Useful lives of the Company's intangible assets have been established based on the Company's intended use
of such assets and their estimated period of future benefit, which are reviewed periodically. Useful lives are as follows:

`Weighted Average Remaining
Category                         Useful Life         Useful Life
------------------------------  ------------- --------------------------
Licenses and contracts              15 years          3.9 years
Intellectual property                6 years          2.9 years`



The weighted average remaining useful life for the Company's intangible assets in aggregate is 3.3 years. Over
the next five years, the Company estimates annual amortization of the intangible assets detailed above to be as follows (in
thousands):

`Fiscal Years                       Amount
------------------------------  -------------

2011                           $         279`

Reported amortization expense, which was $999,000 and $596,000 for the thirteen weeks ended August 26,
2006 and August 27, 2005, respectively and $1,571,000 and $1,191,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006 and August
27, 2005, respectively, included amortization of deferred financing fees and deferred compensation costs.

11. Legal Proceedings

On November 19, 2001, Media Technologies, Inc. sued the Company and nine other manufacturers of trading
cards (the "Defendants") in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California for their sales of all types of "relic" cards that
contain an authentic piece of equipment, i.e., a piece of sporting equipment or jersey. Plaintiffs alleged infringement of U.S. Patent Nos.
5,803,501 and 6,142,532. On May 23, 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in which it paid Media Technologies,
Inc. a sum of $2,000,000 which is being amortized over the term of the contract. Media Technologies Inc. agreed to dismiss all claims
against the Company and to issue a license to the Company to distribute relic cards for seven years. The Company further agreed that
under certain conditions which may arise in the future, it would make additional payments to Media Technologies, Inc. as part of the
ongoing license.

In another matter, in September of 1999, the Company filed a lawsuit against Cadbury Stani S.A.I.C. ("Stani"), a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of Argentina, in federal court in the Southern District of New York. The case centers
on the licensing relationship the parties had since 1957 in which the Company had granted Stani the exclusive right to manufacture and
distribute gum using the Bazooka brand and related formulas and technologies in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. In
particular, at issue is a 1980 Licensing Agreement (the "Agreement") between the parties and a 1985 Amendment to that Agreement. In
its September 17, 2003 Fourth Amended Complaint, the Company alleges that Stani continued to use the Company's proprietary and
specialized knowledge and experience, and its trade secrets, regarding the production of gum after the Agreement's expiration in April
1996, that it unlawfully disclosed this information to Cadbury Schweppes PLC ("Schweppes") which purchased Stani in 1993 and that it
deliberately concealed its use and disclosure from the Company. The Company has filed claims for breach of contract, misappropriation
of trade secrets and fraudulent inducement to enter into the 1985 Amendment. The Company is seeking to recover disgorgement of
Stani's profits, certain lost royalties and punitive damages, interest and costs. It is also seeking a permanent injunction against Stani's
future use and dissemination of the Company's proprietary information and trade secrets. In the Fourth Amended Complaint, the
Company demanded damages in excess of $250 million. The Fourth Amended Complaint also initially contained claims against
Schweppes, which the parties agreed to dismiss on February 4, 2003.

On February 9, 2006, the Court adjourned the trial which had been scheduled for March 13, 2006 and ruled it
would consider a new motion by Stani for partial summary judgment which argued that the Agreement permitted Stani to use the
Company's information and trade secrets after the Agreement's expiration in 1996.

On August 31, 2006, the Court granted Stani's motion for partial summary judgment to the extent dismissing the
Company's claims for breach of contract and wrongful misappropriation of trade secrets.  Taking into account the Court's decision, the
Company's remaining claims are that Stani misappropriated an aspect of its Bazooka flavor formula through reverse engineering and
that Stani fraudulently induced the Company to enter into an agreement that relieved Stani of the obligation to pay royalties on certain
(non-Bazooka) products between 1988 and the expiration of the Agreement in 1996.

The Company intends to appeal the Court's ruling, and on September 18, 2006 filed a Motion To Certify
Dismissed Claims For Appeal to seek permission to appeal the dismissed claims immediately.

In another matter, on December 12, 2003, WizKids, Inc. ("WizKids") and Jordan Weisman filed a complaint in
Washington state court for professional malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty and disgorgement of fees against the law firm Michael,
Best & Friedrich, LLP ("MB&F"), and Timothy Kelley, one of its partners, based on their submission of a PCT patent
application for WizKids' combat dial that alleged to have prejudiced WizKids' United States patent rights by failing to designate the
United States as one of the member states for subsequent conversion to a national application. In a settlement reached on October 31,
2005, defendants agreed to pay WizKids $2,950,000.

The Company is a party in several other civil actions which are routine and incidental to its business. In
management's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, these other actions are not reasonably expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The fiscal 2007 costs are estimated based on actuarial assumptions, and actual costs will be adjusted at the
end of the fiscal year, when the full actuarial evaluation is completed.

13. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and, therefore, there is no effect on its
financial position, changes in financial position, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources from this type of arrangement.

14. Restructuring Charge

On September 29, 2005, a restructuring program was announced which separates the Confectionery and
Entertainment businesses to the extent practical and streamlines the organizational structure through headcount reductions.  In
connection with the headcount reductions, the Company incurred charges of approximately $3.7 million; consisting of $1.3 million for
termination costs in each of the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006 and $1.1 million for pension settlement costs in the fourth
quarter.  These charges are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the year ended February 25, 2006.

In June 2006, the Company announced a restructuring program, principally related to its entertainment
operations in New York, NY, Duryea, PA, and Seattle, WA, (WizKids' headquarters.)  The Company incurred charges of approximately
$1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007; consisting of $0.7 million for termination costs and $0.4 million related to the
accelerated recognition of deferred compensation paid to Jordan Weisman as part of the acquisition of Wizkids.  The Company
anticipates additional related termination costs of $0.3 million in the third quarter and $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
These charges are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006.  The Company estimates that these charges will be paid by the end of the
fiscal year.

The table below reconciles the activity to the liability related to the restructuring from February 25, 2006, through

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Topps Company, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Topps Company, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 26, 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive
income and cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 26, 2006 and August 27, 2005. These interim
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed
consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

As discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), *Share-Based Payment,* effective February 26, 2006.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of February 25, 2006, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein);
and in our report dated May 9, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 25, 2006 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2007 (thirteen weeks ended August 26, 2006) versus Second Quarter Fiscal
Year 2006 (thirteen weeks ended August 27, 2005)

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, net sales by key business segment:

                                               ===============          ===============`

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $82.3 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 9.9%, from
$74.9 million in the same period last year.   Stronger foreign currencies versus the prior year increased 2007 second quarter sales by
$0.5 million.

Net sales of confectionery products, which include, among other things, Ring Pop, Push Pop, Baby Bottle Pop,
Juicy Drop Pop, Bazooka brand bubble gum and licensed candy products, were $39.8 million in the second quarter of this year, a
decrease of $2.4 million, or 5.8%, from $42.2 million in fiscal 2006. This decrease was largely a function of lower sales of certain core
products in the U.S., combined with the discontinuation of certain products sold last year such as Bazooka Booster, Crunchy Snakes in
Europe and licorice in Canada. Stronger foreign currencies versus the prior year increased 2007 second quarter confectionery sales by
$0.2 million.

Net sales of entertainment products, which include cards, stickers, sticker albums and the WizKids line of
strategy games, were $42.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $9.8 million, or 30.1%, from $32.7 million in the
same period last year. This increase reflected significantly higher sales of U.S. sports cards, driven by a new arrangement with the
baseball licensors as well as the Company's strong product line-up and marketing campaign which encompasses national television
advertising and in-stadium promotions.  Sales of European sports products also showed modest gains over last year in the quarter,
driven by the tail end of a successful run with products associated with the English and Italian World Cup soccer teams, an event which
occurs once every four years.  Sales of non-sports publishing products declined year-over-year due to last year's strong WWE and Star
Wars releases.  Additionally, sales of WizKids products were impacted by a softer gaming industry and lower sales of Pirates products
introduced last year.  Stronger foreign currencies versus the prior year increased 2007 second quarter entertainment sales by $0.3
million.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 37.8% as compared with
37.9% in the second quarter of last year. Margins in the quarter were negatively impacted by the significant growth of entertainment
products, which have higher product development, content and royalty costs than confectionery products.  Partially offsetting the
negative mix were the favorable impact of rebates from our confectionery vendor (which are not expected to continue over the balance
of the year) and efforts to remove non value-added features from lollipop products.

SG&A expense was $26.8 million in the second quarter fiscal 2007, up from $25.0 million in fiscal 2006. As
a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense was 32.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 versus 33.4% in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006. The dollar increases from the prior year are the result of special charges related to the 2006 proxy contest and the
reorganization announced in June 2006 of approximately $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as well as increased marketing
expenditures.  These increases were partially offset by reductions in overhead costs stemming from the Company's cost reduction
initiatives, specifically the September 2005 workforce reduction as well as cost savings put in place at year-end fiscal 2006 related to
pension, post retirement medical, consulting, legal and insurance expenses.

Net interest income of $731,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was roughly flat with that in the second
quarter of fiscal 2006 due to more favorable interest rates offset by a lower average cash balance.

The Company reflects provisions for federal, state and local income taxes in accordance with statutory income
tax rates. The Company reported an effective tax rate of 33.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 versus an effective tax rate benefit
of (18.2%) in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, which was a function of the reversal of reserves after completion of a successful Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") audit.

The Company reported net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 of $3.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted
share, versus $4.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net sales in the first half of fiscal 2007 were $163.3 million, an increase of $9.8 million, or 6.4%, from $153.5
million in the same period last year.   Weaker foreign currencies versus the prior year reduced fiscal 2007 first half sales by $0.5
million.

Net sales of confectionery products were $82.5 million in the first half of this year, a decrease of $3.8 million, or
4.4%, from $86.3 million in fiscal 2006. This decrease was largely a function of the lower sales of certain core products in the U.S.,
combined with the discontinuation of certain products sold last year such as Bazooka Booster, Crunchy Snakes in Europe and licorice
in Canada. There was virtually no foreign currency impact on confectionery sales versus the comparable period last year.

Net sales of entertainment products were $80.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2007, an increase of $13.6
million, or 20.2%, from $67.2 million in the same period last year. This increase reflected significantly higher sales of U.S. sports cards,
driven by a new arrangement with the baseball licensors as well as the Company's strong product line up and marketing campaign
which encompasses national television advertising and in-stadium promotions.  Sales of European sports products also showed strong
gains over last year in the quarter, driven by the addition of products surrounding the World Cup soccer tournament, an event which
occurs once every four years.  Sales of non-sports publishing products declined year-over-year due to last year's strong WWE and Star
Wars releases.  Additionally, sales of WizKids products were impacted by a softer gaming industry and lower sales of Pirates products
introduced last year.  Weaker foreign currencies versus the prior year reduced 2007 first half entertainment sales by $0.5 million.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2007 was 36.1% as compared with 36.5% in
the first half of last year. Margins this year were negatively impacted by the significant increase in mix of entertainment margins which
have a lower gross profit margin.  Increased returns on sales of European publishing products also reduced margins in the first six
months of this year.  Partially offsetting these factors was the favorable impact of vendor rebates in our confectionery business (which
are not expected to continue over the balance of the year), successful efforts to remove non value-added features from confectionery
products and a reduction in confectionery obsolescence year over year.

SG&A expense was $53.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2007, up from $52.1 million in fiscal 2006. As a
percentage of net sales, SG&A expense was 32.5% in the first half of fiscal 2007 versus 34.0% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The
dollar increases from the prior year are the result of increased marketing expenditures and one-time costs related to the 2006 proxy
contest and the reorganization announced in June 2006 of approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.  These increases
were partially offset by lower overhead costs this year than last year due to the Company's cost reduction initiatives, specifically the
September 2005 workforce reduction as well as cost savings put in place at year-end related to pension, post retirement medical,
consulting, legal and insurance expenses.

Net interest income of $1.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 was roughly flat with that in the first half of fiscal
2006 due to more favorable interest rates offset by a lower average cash balance.

The Company reported an effective tax rate of 32.7% in the first half of fiscal 2007 versus an effective tax rate
benefit of (9.6%) in the first half of fiscal 2006.  The fiscal 2006 credit was a function of the reversal of $1.6 million in tax reserves
following the successful completion of an IRS audit.

The Company reported net income in the first half of fiscal 2007 of $5.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share,
versus $5.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the first half of fiscal 2006.

Other Matters

In June 2006, the Company launched a restructuring program, principally related to its entertainment
operations in New York, Pennsylvania and Seattle (WizKids' headquarters.)  The Company believes that this program will result in
estimated annual savings of approximately $3.3 million.  The Company recognized a charge of approximately $1.1 million in connection
with the restructuring in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and expects to realize a further $0.3 million in related costs in the third quarter
and $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of this year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that the Company has adequate reserves to meet its liquidity and capital needs over the
foreseeable future as a result of the combination of cash on hand, anticipated cash from operations and credit line availability.

On August 26, 2006, the Company had $39.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $45.9 million in
short-term investments.

On September 14, 2004, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The
agreement provides for a $30.0 million unsecured facility to cover revolver and letter of credit needs and expires on September 13,
2007. Interest rates are variable and a function of market rates and the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization. The credit agreement contains restrictions and prohibitions of a nature generally found in loan agreements of this type and
requires the Company, among other things, to comply with certain financial covenants, limits the Company's ability to sell or acquire
assets or borrow additional money and places certain restrictions on the purchase of Company shares and the payment of dividends.
The credit agreement may be terminated by the Company at any point over the three-year term (provided the Company repays all
outstanding amounts thereunder) without penalty.

In October 2001, the Company completed the authorization and the Board approved the purchase of 5 million
shares of the Company's common stock.  As of February 26, 2005, the Company had purchased 3,390,700 shares related to this
authorization, leaving 1,609,300 shares available for future purchases.  During the first half of fiscal 2006, the Company did not
purchase any shares due to a strategic business review that was performed by investment banking and consulting firms. In September
2005, the Company entered into a written trading plan, that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, which provides for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares for each of the next four quarters starting in the third quarter of
fiscal 2006 at the prevailing market price, per share, subject to certain conditions. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company
increased the outstanding share authorization by 3,390,700 shares to 5 million shares. As of August 26, 2006, the Company had
purchased 2,125,544 shares under this amended authorization leaving 2,874,456 shares available for future purchases.

In the twenty-six weeks ended August 26, 2006, the Company's net increase in cash and cash equivalents was
$11.1 million versus a decrease of $4.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2006.

Cash provided by operating activities during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2007 was $10.1 million versus
cash used of $3.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2006. The cash provided of $10.1 million  was primarily due to a $6.6 million
increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities, a $0.6 million increase in prepaid expenses, $2.5 million in depreciation and
amortization and $5.0 million in net income.  Partially offsetting these sources of cash was a use of $3.6 million in accounts receivable
due to higher sales compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The prior period's unfavorable cash performance reflected lower net
income, a substantial increase in inventories and decreases in accounts payable and other current liabilities.

Cash provided by investing activities was $6.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 and $3.9 million in fiscal
2006. Year-to-date this year, short-term investments were reduced by $7.3 million, partially offset by capital spending of $1.2 million,
largely related to the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system. In fiscal 2006, short-term investments were
reduced by $5.2 million, partially offset by capital spending of $1.3 million, largely related to the rollout of new information systems.
Fiscal 2007 full year capital spending is projected to be $5.0 to $6.0 million, driven by investments in Ring Pop production equipment
and computer software and hardware. Capital spending will be funded out of cash flow from operating activities. The proceeds from the
sale of thePit.com, Inc. will be received over the next four years.

Cash used in financing activities of $10.7 million this period reflects $3.1 million in cash dividends and $9.0
million in treasury stock purchases, partially offset by $1.4 million in cash from options exercised. This compares with a total outlay for
financing activities of $2.6 million in the same period last year, comprised of $3.2 million in cash dividends, partially offset by $0.6
million in cash from options exercised.  Dividend payments and treasury stock purchases are being funded out of cash flow from
operating activities.

There are no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to Company's purchase
obligations as presented in the Commitments table included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 25,
2006.

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and, therefore, there is no effect on its
financial condition, changes in financial position, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources from this type of arrangement.

Cautionary Statements

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"Reform Act"), the Company is hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements of the Company made by or on behalf of the Company, whether oral
or written. Among the factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any such
forward-looking statements are: (i) the failure of certain of the Company's principal products, particularly sports cards, entertainment
cards, WizKids strategy games, confectionery products and sticker album collections, to achieve expected sales levels; (ii) the
Company's inability to produce timely, or at all, certain new planned confectionery products; (iii) significant increase in raw material
costs; (iv) quarterly fluctuations in results; (v) the Company's loss of important licensing arrangements; (vi) the Company's loss of
important supply arrangements with third parties; (vii) the loss of any of the Company's key customers or distributors; (viii) further
material contraction in the trading card industry as a whole; (ix) excessive returns of the Company's products; (x) civil unrest, currency
devaluation, health-related issues, or political upheaval in certain foreign countries in which the Company conducts business; (xi)
changes in food and drug laws and laws relating to advertising and marketing practices or consumer trends and health-related issues,
either in the U.S. or abroad; and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's reports and registration statements filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires Topps management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenue,
expenses, assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Note 1 to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended February 25, 2006, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," summarizes its significant accounting policies. Following
is a summary of the critical policies and methods used.

Revenue Recognition:Revenue related to sales of the Company's products is generally
recognized when products are shipped, the title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable
and collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales made on a returnable basis are recorded net of a provision for estimated returns. These
estimates are revised, as necessary, to reflect actual experience and market conditions.

Returns Provisions:  In determining the provision for returns, the Company performs an in-depth
review of wholesale and retail inventory levels for each product sold, trends in product sell-through by sales channel, and other factors.
The provision for returns was $14.9 million in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2007 and $12.4 million in fiscal 2006, which equates to
9.1% and 8.0% of net sales, respectively. The increase in the provision this year was partially the result of higher returns on certain
European publishing products and on WizKids products sold to retail channels. An increase or decrease in the provision for returns by
1% of net sales would have decreased or increased operating income by approximately $1.6 million.

Intangible Assets:  Intangible assets include trademarks and the value of sports, entertainment and
proprietary product rights. Amortization is by the straight-line method over estimated lives which range between three and fifteen years.
Management evaluates the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets."

Accrual for Obsolete Inventory:  The Company's accrual for obsolete inventory reflects the cost of
items in inventory not anticipated to be sold or where the current selling price is below the Company's carrying costs.  This accrual is
deemed necessary as a result of discontinued items and packaging or a reduction in forecasted sales and is adjusted periodically
based on a review of inventory levels and sales projections. The provision for obsolete inventory was $1.7 million in the first twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2007 and $2.0 million in fiscal 2006, which equates to 1.0% and 1.3% of net sales, respectively. An increase or
decrease in the provision for obsolescence by 1% of net sales would have decreased or increased operating income by approximately
$1.6 million.

ITEM 3. DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's exposure to market risk associated with activities in derivative financial instruments (e.g.,
hedging or currency swap agreements), other financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments is confined to the impact of
mark-to-market changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's forward contracts and options. The Company has no debt
outstanding and does not engage in any commodity-related derivative transactions. As of August 26, 2006, the Company had $15.9
million in contracts which were entered into for the purpose of hedging forecasted receipts and disbursements in various foreign
currencies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period,
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Changes in internal controls

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 19, 2001, Media Technologies, Inc. sued the Company and nine other manufacturers of trading
cards (the "Defendants") in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California for their sales of all types of "relic" cards that
contain an authentic piece of equipment, i.e., a piece of sporting equipment or jersey. Plaintiffs alleged infringement of U.S. Patent Nos.
5,803,501 and 6,142,532. On May 23, 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in which it paid Media Technologies,
Inc. a sum of $2,000,000 which is being amortized over the term of the contract. Media Technologies Inc. agreed to dismiss all claims
against the Company and to issue a license to the Company to distribute relic cards for seven years. The Company further agreed that
under certain conditions which may arise in the future, it would make additional payments to Media Technologies, Inc. as part of the
ongoing license.

In another matter, in September of 1999, the Company filed a lawsuit against Cadbury Stani S.A.I.C. ("Stani"), a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of Argentina, in federal court in the Southern District of New York. The case centers
on the licensing relationship the parties had since 1957 in which the Company had granted Stani the exclusive right to manufacture and
distribute gum using the Bazooka brand and related formulas and technologies in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. In
particular, at issue is a 1980 Licensing Agreement (the "Agreement") between the parties and a 1985 Amendment to that Agreement. In
its September 17, 2003 Fourth Amended Complaint, the Company alleges that Stani continued to use the Company's proprietary and
specialized knowledge and experience, and its trade secrets, regarding the production of gum after the Agreement's expiration in April
1996, that it unlawfully disclosed this information to Cadbury Schweppes PLC ("Schweppes") which purchased Stani in 1993 and that it
deliberately concealed its use and disclosure from the Company. The Company has filed claims for breach of contract, misappropriation
of trade secrets and fraudulent inducement to enter into the 1985 Amendment. The Company is seeking to recover disgorgement of
Stani's profits, certain lost royalties and punitive damages, interest and costs. It is also seeking a permanent injunction against Stani's
future use and dissemination of the Company's proprietary information and trade secrets. In the Fourth Amended Complaint, the
Company demanded damages in excess of $250 million. The Fourth Amended Complaint also initially contained claims against
Schweppes, which the parties agreed to dismiss on February 4, 2003.

On February 9, 2006, the Court adjourned the trial which had been scheduled for March 13, 2006 and ruled it
would consider a new motion by Stani for partial summary judgment which argued that the Agreement permitted Stani to use the
Company's information and trade secrets after the Agreement's expiration in 1996.

On August 31, 2006, the Court granted Stani's motion for partial summary judgment to the extent dismissing the
Company's claims for breach of contract and wrongful misappropriation of trade secrets.  Taking into account the Court's decision, the
Company's remaining claims are that Stani misappropriated an aspect of its Bazooka flavor formula through reverse engineering and
that Stani fraudulently induced the Company to enter into an agreement that relieved Stani of the obligation to pay royalties on certain
(non-Bazooka) products between 1988 and the expiration of the Agreement in 1996.

The Company intends to appeal the Court's ruling, and on September 18, 2006 filed a Motion To Certify
Dismissed Claims For Appeal to seek permission to appeal the dismissed claims immediately.

In another matter, on December 12, 2003, WizKids, Inc. ("WizKids") and Jordan Weisman filed a complaint in
Washington state court for professional malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty and disgorgement of fees against the law firm Michael,
Best & Friedrich, LLP ("MB&F"), and Timothy Kelley, one of its partners, based on their submission of a PCT patent
application for WizKids' combat dial that alleged to have prejudiced WizKids' United States patent rights by failing to designate the
United States as one of the member states for subsequent conversion to a national application. In a settlement reached on October 31,
2005, defendants agreed to pay WizKids $2,950,000.

The Company is a party in several other civil actions which are routine and incidental to its business. In
management's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, these other actions are not reasonably expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Dependence on Licenses.  The Company's trading card and sticker album businesses are
highly dependent upon licensing arrangements with third parties. These licenses, which have varying expiration dates, are obtained
from the various professional sports leagues, players associations and, in certain instances, the players themselves as well as from
non-sports entertainment companies.  The Company's inability to renew or retain certain of these licenses, or the lack of vitality of these
licenses, could have a material adverse affect on its future plans and results.

Contraction in Sports Card Industry.  The sports card industry as a whole has contracted
significantly over at least the last ten years.  Further prolonged and material contraction in the sports card industry, whether caused by
labor strife or otherwise, could have a material adverse affect on the Company's future plans and results.

New Products. The Company may be unable to produce timely, or at all, certain new planned
products.   The inability of the Company to produce planned products could have a material adverse affect on its future plans and
results.

Returns. Approximately 68% of the Company's fiscal 2006 sales were made on a returnable
basis.  Although the Company maintains returns provisions, returns considerably in excess of the Company's provisions could have a
material adverse affect on its future plans and results.

Suppliers. The Company has a single source of supply for most of its lollipop products.  The
loss of this supplier due to civil unrest or for any other reason could have a material adverse affect on the Company's future plans and
results.   Additionally, failure of the new Bazooka manufacturer to supply the Company with quality products on a timely basis could
have a material adverse affect on the sales of Bazooka.

Customers. The Company has several large customers, some of which are serviced by single
distributors.  The loss of any of these customers or distributors could have a material adverse affect on the Company's future plans and
results.

International, Political and Economic Risk. There is an increase in risk generally associated with
operating outside of the U.S.  Events such as civil unrest, currency devaluation, political upheaval and health-related issues could have
a material adverse affect on the Company's future plans and results.

Legal Proceedings. See Part II, Item 1: Legal Proceedings for a discussion of legal matters that
could have a material adverse affect on the Company's future plans and results.

Raw Materials.  Raw materials required for production of the Company's products are generally
available.  However, the unavailability of certain raw materials or a significant increase in their cost could have a material adverse affect
on future plans and results.

Competition.  The Company operates in highly competitive markets with other well-established
manufacturers of confectionery and sports and entertainment products. A failure of new or existing products to be favorably received by
or appeal to our customers and/or consumers, or a failure to retain sufficient shelf space for new and existing products, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

Laws and regulations; consumer preferences and health concerns.  Changes in governmental
laws and regulations, including food and drug laws, laws relating to advertising and marketing practices, taxation requirements and
environmental laws, both in and outside the U.S., could have an adversely effect on the Company's results of operations. Additionally,
consumer demographics, consumer trends and consumer health concerns, such as issues relating to obesity levels and the
consumption of certain ingredients, may change in a manner that could have an adverse impact on the Company's results of
operations.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company took place on July 28, 2006 for the following
purposes:

1. To elect three directors to the Company's board of directors;
2. To amend the Company's certificate of incorporation to eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors

4. To ratify the appointment of the Company's independent auditors.

Prior to the commencement of the Company's annual meeting of stockholders on July 28, 2006, the Company

stockholder to be held on August 25, 2006.

- The Company agreed to expand its board of directors from nine to ten seats and to solicit proxies for all
four nominees in the revised slate of director nominees.
