NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Organization and Business
A. Business Description - The Company is in the mail order business
and sells to customers throughout the United States. Perfectly
Safe, a division of the Company, primarily sells children's safety
products for use up to age 3. Jeanne's Kids Club, a division of the
Company, sells hard good products for children primarily up to the
age of 3. Natural Baby, a division of the Company, sells clothing
and toys for children primarily up to the age of 3. Products are
purchased from a variety of vendors.
B. Reorganization - Kids Stuff, Inc. ("Kids Stuff" or the "Company")
was incorporated during 1996 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duncan
Hill, Inc. ("Duncan Hill"). Prior to a reorganization occurring
June 30, 1996, Kids Stuff had no operations. The operations shown
in the accompanying financial statements prior to June 30, 1996 are
those of Perfectly Safe, Inc., which was dissolved as part of the
reorganization and is sometimes referred to as "Predecessor" in
these financial statements.
Perfectly Safe, Inc. was also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duncan
Hill. Effective June 30, 1996, the assets and liabilities of
Perfectly Safe, Inc., reverted to Duncan Hill, and Perfectly Safe,
Inc. was dissolved. As part of the reorganization, the Company
acquired the assets and liabilities of its Predecessor. The Company
also acquired, as part of the reorganization, certain fixed assets
formerly belonging to Duncan Hill at a net book value of $122,143
at December 31, 1995. The combination of the Company's acquisition
of the assets of its Predecessor and the Company's acquisition of
certain assets of Duncan Hill were accounted for at historical cost
as a reorganization of companies under common control. The
operations of the Predecessor are currently operated as the
Perfectly Safe Division and Jeanne's Kids Club Division of the
Company.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the
Company. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. In the opinion of the Company's management, the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, and the financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31,
1998, results of operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1998.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

Note 3. New Authoritative Pronouncements
In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, was issued which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
compensation plans. This standard encourages the adoption of the
fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock options or
similar equity instruments, but continues to allow the Company to
measure compensation cost for those equity instruments using the
intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. Under the fair value-based method, compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award. Under
the intrinsic value-based method, compensation cost is the excess,
if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date
or other measurement date over the amount the employee must pay to
acquire the stock. The Company uses the intrinsic value-based
method for stock-based compensation to employees. As a result, this
standard does not have any effect to the Company's financial
statement other than to require disclosure of the pro forma effect
on net income of using the fair value-based method of accounting.
In February 1997, SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share" and SFAS 129,
"Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure," were issued.
SFAS 128 establishes new standards for computing and reporting
earnings per share. SFAS 129 requires an entity to explain the
pertinent rights and privileges of outstanding securities. The
Company adopted these new standards in the period ended December
31, 1997. All prior period earnings per share data have been
restated for the adoption of SFAS 128. The effect of adoption was
not material.
In June 1997, SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," was
issued. SFAS 130 established new standards for reporting
comprehensive income and its components and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company's
comprehensive income is the same as net income for the periods
presented.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS 131 changes the standards for reporting
financial results by operating segments, related products and
services, geographical areas and major customers. The Company must
adopt SFAS 131 no later than December 31, 1998. The Company
believes that the effect of adoption will not be material.

The Series A Preferred Stock is not subject to redemption and has

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, each share
of Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $.001
per share.
C. Warrants
In conjunction with the public offering discussed in Note 7, the
Company issued 2,400,000 Class A warrants. Each warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of
$5.00 for a period of four years commencing one year after the date
of the Company's prospectus. The Company may redeem the Warrants at
a price of $.05 per Warrant, at any time after they become
exercisable, upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice, if
the closing bid price of the Common Stock has been at least $14.40
per share for 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth day
prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is given.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
OVERVIEW
Kids Stuff, Inc. is a catalog merchant selling quality children's products to
consumers throughout the United States. Our business emphasizes products for
children in the age group of prenatal to three years old, and consists of three
catalogs:
- Perfectly Safe specializes in children's safety products.
- Jeannie's Kids Club offers toys and other hardgoods at discount prices
in return for an annual membership fee.
- The Natural Baby Catalog emphasizes natural clothing, diapering and wood
toys.
We acquired Perfectly Safe during January 1990 and circulated approximately
900,000 catalogs during that first year, producing net sales of $1,473,000. By
the end of 1997, sales had increased to over $3.9 million, which resulted in an
annual compound growth rate of approximately 15%. In the first quarter of 1998
net sales were $1,186,012, an increase of 67.5% over the comparable 1997 period.
Jeannie's Kids Club was created and developed in-house, and the first catalog
was mailed during July 1995. The annual club membership is $18, and is renewed
automatically each year, subject to customer cancellation and other limitations.
In return for their membership fee, members are able to purchase products at
discount prices compared to other children's catalogs. During the year1997, the
second full year of Kids Club operations, net sales were $3.2 million. However,
during the first quarter of 1998 net sales were 16% less than the comparable
1997 period, reflecting the impact of a planned reduction of 52% in catalog
circulation.
We acquired The Natural Baby Catalog on July 2,1997, using the proceeds from our
initial public offering. The Natural Baby Catalog compliments our other catalogs
and offers alternative products to parents interested in natural childbirth,
nursing products and natural fiber clothing. During 1997, The Natural Baby
Catalog generated net sales of $3.8 million in the third and fourth quarters,
and is expected to contribute substantially to our growth in 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997.
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased 119% to $3,204,877,
compared with $1,465,541 for the same period of 1997. Net profits for the first
quarter of 1998 improved to $59,060 compared with a net loss of ($158,956) for
the same period in 1997.
Approximately 80% of our increased revenues were attributed to The Natural Baby
Catalog. Combined revenues from our Perfectly Safe and Kids Club catalogs
increased 24.5% compared with 1997, producing the remainder of our overall
revenue increase.
14
<PAGE>
Cost of sales increased from 56.3% of net sales in 1997 to 62.5% in 1998. The
change is attributable to post holiday returns and the shipping rate increase
imposed by United Parcel Service during February.
Selling expenses, consisting of advertising and marketing costs, were 24.0% of
net sales in the first quarter of 1998, compared with 40.6% in the first quarter
of 1997. This 40.9% reduction in selling expense as a percentage of net sales,
reflects the impact of The Natural Baby Catalog, whose selling expenses are less
than those of our other catalogs. Additionally, we improved the productivity of
our Perfectly Safe and Kids Club catalog mailings during the first quarter of
1998, which resulted in lower selling expenses compared with the first quarter
of 1997.
General and Administrative expenses increased by $176,798, but improved from
12.9% of net sales in 1997 to 11.4% this quarter. As a result of the Natural
Baby acquisition, the growth of our operation has given rise to higher support
costs, although proportionately lower than the increase in sales. Costs of
outside legal and accounting services have also increased because of the
compliance requirements associated with being a public company. General and
administrative costs are also affected by services we provide to Havana, an
affiliated company.
Since January 1, 1997, we have been providing administrative and other support
services to Havana. During the first quarter 1997, the costs of these services
were allocated based on the percentage of Havana's total assets to that of the
controlled group. Beginning January 1, 1998, a contract was established between
Kids Stuff and Havana. The contract details specific fees to be charged by Kids
Stuff for providing administrative support and order fulfillment services to
Havana. The contract also provides an additional charge of 5% of Havana's pretax
profit for 1998. We believe these fees are substantially the same as the cost of
Havana staffing these functions itself. During this quarter we've charged Havana
$73,569, including order fulfillment costs, as compared to approximately $95,000
allocated last year.
Net income improved by $218,016 this quarter as compared to the same quarter
last year. Last year's quarter net loss amounted to 10.8% of net sales, while
net income for the current quarter amounted to 1.8% of sales. The earnings
improvement is a direct result of the increase in revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1998, our accumulated deficit improved by $59,060 from December 31,
1997 because of first quarter earnings performance.
In addition to net earnings, cash provided by operating activities was increased
by non-cash charges of $39,859 for depreciation and goodwill amortization.
Working capital changes used $56,659 of cash, primarily due to increased
deferred catalog expense of $245,112. Higher volume mailings of our Spring
catalogs, as compared to the first quarter of 1997, accounts for the increased
deferred expense.
At March 31, 1998, the balance on our credit line was $732,000, having borrowed
$61,000 during the quarter. Our current credit line is $800,000, payable on
demand. The line is secured

by the assets of Kids Stuff, The Havana Group and Duncan Hill, and is guaranteed
by our CEO and The Havana Group. The interest rate is 1% over prime.
With respect to financing activities, the borrowing on the credit line was
offset by the increase in amounts due from affiliates of $7,072. That increase
relates to unpaid administrative support and fulfillment services we provided to
Havana during the quarter.
Overall, we expect to be able to meet our cash needs through ongoing operations
and existing credit facilities.
Forward Looking Statements and Associated Risks
