                           GREENMAN BROS. INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                         UNAUDITED


NOTE 1.     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
            statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
            to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes
            required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
            financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
            adjustments for a fair statement of the results and financial
            position for the interim periods presented have been included.  All
            such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  This financial
            information should be read in conjunction with the financial
            statements and notes thereto included in the registrant's annual
            report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 1995 (fiscal
            1995). 

            It should be noted that amounts included in the financial
            statements of the prior year have been reclassified to conform to
            the current year's presentation.

            Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for
            the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
            to be expected for the fiscal year.

NOTE 2.     All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or
            less are considered to be cash equivalents; investments with
            maturities between three and twelve months are considered to be
            short-term investments.  These investments are stated at cost which
            approximates market. 

NOTE 3.     Income tax provisions are based on estimated annual effective tax
            rates. The operating loss for the first quarter ended April 29,
            1995 provides no current tax benefit.  The Company has certain
            available tax planning strategies and the ability to generate
            taxable income that could be implemented, if necessary, to realize
            net tax benefits reported for prior periods.  The effective income
            tax rate used for the period ended April 30, 1994 was 40%.

NOTE 4.     On May 31, 1995 the Company announced that it is investigating the
            possible sale of its wholesale business operating under the name
            Greenman Merchandising Services ("GMS"). The intent of such a sale
            would be to free-up capital that will be needed to grow the Noodle
            Kidoodle TM retail business.  GMS had sales of $113 million in
            fiscal 1995 while the Company's total revenues were $137 million. 
            Pre-tax earnings for GMS in fiscal 1995 were $1.8 million while the
            Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $5.5 million which included a

                          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                     Thirteen Weeks Ended April 29, 1995 Compared with
                            Thirteen Weeks Ended April 30, 1994

Results of Operations

Sales for the thirteen week period ended April 29, 1995 decreased $2.7
million or 10.1% versus the comparable period of the prior year.

Wholesale sales decreased 8.7% to $21.2 million in the first quarter versus
the first quarter of the prior year. The Company indicated in its 10-K filing
for the year ended January 28, 1995 (fiscal 1995) that wholesale sales are
expected to decline in fiscal 1996.  A decrease in the mass merchandise
retail channel of approximately $3.4 million was only partially offset by
increased business in the chain drug, supermarkets, deep discount drug and
home center channels of distribution.  On May 31, 1995 the Company announced
that it is investigating the possible sale of the wholesale business
operating under the name Greenman Merchandising Services.

Retail sales of our Noodle Kidoodle TM operation (TM is purposely omitted
everywhere else) and Playworld Toy Stores represented 13.4% of total sales
for the thirteen week period ended April 29, 1995 compared to 14.8% for the
thirteen week period ended April 30, 1994.  Overall retail sales decreased
18.1% to $3.3 million for the first quarter versus last year as a result of
closing the Playworld Toy Stores and one leased department operation during
the second half of last year.  Playworld Toy Stores sales decreased by $2.7
million offset by increases in Noodle Kidoodle sales of $1.9 million as a
result of opening three stores in the second half of last year and one store
in February 1995.  Comparable store sales decreased 20.6%.  The decrease was
attributable to lower sales in the remaining Playworld Toy Stores of 37.2%
partially offset by an increase of 22.5% in the one Noodle Kidoodle store
that had year to year comparisons.

Gross Profit as a percent of sales was 25.1% for the first quarter versus
23.2% for the comparable period of last year.  The increase in overall gross
profit percentage of 1.9% was attributable to higher margins in both the
wholesale and retail segments.  Margins in the wholesale segment improved by
1.6% to 22.5% primarily due to the decline of sales in the toy product line
to mass merchandise customers that carry lower margins.  Margins in the
retail segment increased by 4.9% to 42.0% for the first quarter versus the
same period of last year primarily due to increased sales in the Noodle
Kidoodle stores which operate with higher margins.

Operating expenses other than interest increased by 5.9% for the thirteen
week period versus the comparable period of the prior year.  The Company's
operating expenses as a percent of sales increased 5.1% for the quarter
versus the prior year.

Wholesale expenses increased 3.3% as a percent of sales for the thirteen week
period ended April 29, 1995 versus the comparable period of the prior year. 
The increase resulted primarily from lower sales levels and higher
distribution costs.  The operating expenses for the retail segment increased
17.9% as a percent of sales for the first quarter versus the prior year.  The
increase resulted from lower comparable store sales in the Playworld
operation and a higher cost structure in the Noodle Kidoodle stores which had
four more stores operating during this period versus last year.

Pre-tax interest income increased by $41,000 for the quarter versus the
comparable period of last year.  The increase resulted from both higher
average interest rates and cash balances.  The average interest rate for the
thirteen week period ended April 29, 1995 was 5.5% versus 2.8% for the period
ended April 30, 1994.  The average cash balance was $9.7 million for the
current first quarter versus $7.1 million for the comparable period of last
year.  Pre-tax interest expense decreased $8,000 for the first quarter versus
the prior year.

The Company did not provide an income tax benefit for the quarter ended April
29, 1995.  For the quarter ended April 30, 1994 the Company recorded an
income tax benefit based on an estimated effective tax rate of 40%.

The net loss for the thirteen week period was approximately $2.1 million
($.39 per share) versus $.9 million ($.17 per share) for the same period of
last year.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The Company maintained an average cash and cash equivalent balance of
approximately $9.7 million during the first quarter ended April 29, 1995. 
The average cash balance was substantially invested in high grade commercial
paper.

Cash flow provided from operating activities for the thirteen week period
ended April 29,1995 were $.4 million versus $1.9 million for the period ended
April 30,1994. Net earnings before non-cash expenditures of depreciation and
provision for doubtful accounts utilized $1.7 million of cash offset by $2.1
million of cash provided from changes in working capital components.  In the
first quarter ended April 30, 1994, net earnings before non-cash expenditures
utilized $.5 million of cash offset by $2.4 million of cash provided from
changes in working capital components.

Cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.0 million for the
first quarter ended April 29, 1995 versus cash provided of $.4 million for
the first quarter ended April 30, 1994.  Property additions and other
utilized approximately $1.0 million of cash for the thirteen week period
ended April 29, 1995 versus $.6 million for the thirteen week period ended
April 30, 1994.  Approximately $1.0 million was provided from the redemption
of U.S. Treasury bills for the first quarter ended April 30, 1994.

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility from a bank which
currently provides for maximum borrowing of $10.0 million that expires in
June 1995.  The Company is currently negotiating a new credit agreement which
is expected to be in place during the second quarter. The Company did not
require any borrowings during the first quarter ended April 29, 1995.  The
Company expects to utilize some bank borrowing during the second half of
fiscal 1996 as a result of a $10.0 million capital expenditures anticipated
for the opening of new Noodle Kidoodle stores during fiscal 1996. As
previously noted the Company has announced that it is considering the sale
of its wholesale business.  Should such a sale take place the proceeds would
be sufficient to fund the current years expansion program without bank
borrowings.
