            position for the interim periods presented have been included.  All
            such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature except for those
            associated with the discontinued operations.  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. The
            January 28, 1995 Statements of Income (Loss) and Balance Sheet are
            restated in this 10Q to reflect the discontinued operation. 

            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 loss from continuing operations for the periods ended
            July 29, 1995 provides no current tax benefit.  The effective
            income tax rate used for the periods ended July 30, 1994 was
            approximately 40%. Income tax expense provided in discontinued
            operations for the periods ended July 29, 1995 represents the
            Company's requirement for a 100% valuation allowance for the net
            deferred tax assets pursuant to SFAS 109.                          

NOTE 4.     On August 31, 1995 the Company adopted a formal plan to discontinue
            its wholesale business segment.  The plan provides for the sale of
            two of the Company's distribution centers and the disposition
            through sale or liquidation of substantially all of the operating
            assets.  The Company is not aware of any material relationship
            between prospective purchasers and the Company or any of its
            affiliates, any director or officer of the Company, or any
            associate of such director or officer.

            The operations and net assets of the wholesale business segment are
            being accounted for as a discontinued operation, and accordingly,
            its operating results and net assets are reported in this manner
            in all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
            statements.  Revenues from such operations were $ 20.8 million and
            $ 26.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 1995 and July
            30, 1994, respectively and $ 41.9 million and $ 49.6 million for
            the corresponding twenty-six week periods, respectively.

NOTE 5.     The following proforma condensed consolidated Statement of Income
            (Loss) for the fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 1995 illustrates
            the estimated effect of the Company's disposition of its wholesale
            distribution industry segment, Greenman Merchandise Services, as
            if this transaction had occurred for Statement of Income (Loss)
            purposes as of the beginning of the period presented.  The pro
            forma statement does not purport to represent the results of
            operations had such transactions occurred on or at the beginning

            any future date or period.

            The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
            upon certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. 
            The pro forma statements and accompanying notes should be read in
            conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements
            of the Company including the notes thereto.

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

              Thirteen and Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 29,1995 Compared with
                     Thirteen and Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 30, 1994

Results of Operations

The net loss from continuing operations was $1.7 million ($.32 per share) and
$2.9 million ($.55 per share) for the second quarter and six months of the
current year versus $2.7 million ($.51 per share) and $3.2 million ($.62 per
share) for the comparable periods of the prior year.

Sales from continuing operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods
ended July 29, 1995 were $3.9 million and $7.2 million respectively,
reflecting an increase of 2.7% for the quarter and 7.9% decrease for the
year-to-date period versus the results of the prior year's comparable
periods.  The increase for the second quarter resulted primarily from the
opening of three Noodle Kidoodle stores in the second half of last year and
five stores during the first half of fiscal 1996 partially offset by the
closing of the majority of the  Playworld Toy Stores and one leased
department operation during the second half of last year and lower sales in
the remaining Playworld stores. The decrease for the six months was primarily
attributable to the closing of the majority of the Playworld Toy Stores and
one leased department in the second half of last year and lower sales in the
remaining Playworld stores, partially offset by increased Noodle Kidoodle
sales.

Noodle Kidoodle sales are above plan in both periods. Sales of the remaining
Playworld stores decreased 37.2% for the thirteen week period and 37.0% for
the twenty-six week period versus last year as a result of lower inventory
levels including a change of mix to less television promoted current
merchandise.

Cost of goods sold including buying and warehousing costs from continuing
operations decreased as a percent of sales 2.6% and 4.1% for the quarter and
year-to-date periods respectively, versus the results of the prior year's
comparable periods.  The decrease for both the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods was primarily due to increased sales in the Noodle Kidoodle stores
which operate with higher margins as well as higher margins in the Playworld
stores. 

Operating expenses other than interest and provision for store closings from
continuing operations increased 37.4% and 25.6% for the three and six months
period ended July 29, 1995 respectively, versus the comparable periods of
last year.  As a percent of sales expenses increased 20.4% and 21.2% for the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods respectively, versus the prior year. 
The increase resulted primarily from the combination of certain opening costs
and a higher cost structure in the Noodle Kidoodle stores than the Playworld
stores. Noodle Kidoodle had eight more stores operating during portions of
this period versus last year.

Provision for store closings of $3.5 million recorded for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 1994 represents a one time charge to
cover unusual cost of closing the majority of the Playworld Toy Stores and
one leased department operation.  



                                           - 9 -
<PAGE>

Pre-tax interest income increased for both the quarter and year-to-date by
$18,000 and $59,000 respectively, versus last year.  Pre-tax interest expense
decreased by $8,000 and $16,000 for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods
respectively, versus last year.

For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 1994 the Company
recorded an income tax benefit from continuing and discontinued operations
based on an estimated effective tax rate of approximately 40%. There were no
tax benefits provided in the current year periods.

The Company announced on May 31, 1995 that it was seeking a buyer for its
wholesale business.  After discussions with numerous interested parties, the
Company determined that it would not receive any offers for significant
portions of the business.  A decision was made to close down the business as
of August 31, 1995 and liquidate the remaining assets of that business.

Discontinued operations include the wholesale distribution industry segment
operating as Greenman Merchandise Services.  The $9.1 million ($1.72 per
share) year-to-date loss from discontinued operations includes a $7.1 million
charge related to the disposal of the wholesale segment including estimated
losses through the disposal period, the anticipated sale of two of the
Company's distribution centers and income tax expense of $1.6 million.


Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Cash flows provided from operating activities for the six months ended July
29, 1995, were $4.0 million versus $.9 million for the period ended July 30,
1994.  Cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations for
the twenty-six week period ended July 29, 1995 were $4.7 million versus $3.5
million for the period ended July 30, 1994.  Net earning before non-cash
expenditures of depreciation utilized $2.5 million and changes in working
capital components used $2.2 million of cash for the period ended July 29,
1995.  For the year-to-date period ended July 30, 1994, net earnings before
non-cash expenditures of depreciation and provision for store closing
provided $.5 million and changes in working capital components used $4.0
million of cash.

Operating activities from discontinued operations provided $8.7 million for
the six months ended July 29, 1995 versus $4.5 million for the period ended
July 30, 1994. Net earnings before non-cash expenditures of depreciation,
provision for doubtful accounts and deferred income taxes used $7.0 million
of cash and changes in working capital components provided $15.7 million for
the period ended July 29, 1995. For the period ended July 30, 1994 net
earnings before non-cash expenditures of depreciation and provision for
doubtful accounts provided $.1 million of cash and changes in working capital
components provided $4.4 million.

Cash used in investing activities was $3.3 million for the six months ended
July 29, 1995.  Property additions from continuing operations utilized $3.2
million and from discontinued operations $.1 million.  Cash used in investing
activities for the twenty-six week period ended July 30, 1994 was $.4
million.  Property additions from continuing operations used $1.1 million and
from discontinued operations $.8 million offset by cash provided from the
redemption of U.S. Treasury bills of $1.0 million and proceeds from a life
insurance policy of $.5 million.

<PAGE>

Cash provided from financing activities of $.4 million for the six months
ended July 29, 1995 was from the exercise of employees stock options.

The Company maintained an average cash and cash equivalent balance of
approximately $9.1 million during the twenty-six week period ended July 29,
1995. These funds were substantially invested in high grade commercial paper.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the wholesale liquidation to
help fund the growth of its Noodle Kidoodle retail concept.  A total of
approximately $16 million in cash will have been generated from the
dissolution of the wholesale business with approximately $8 million already
realized.

The Company has a line of credit with its primary bank allowing for maximum
borrowing of $12.5 million.  Borrowings would be secured by wholesale
inventory and receivables and the availability of the line is subject to
formulas relating to the eligible amount of those assets. The Company has 
not required any borrowings for several years. While the Company does not
expect to borrow in this fiscal year, the timing of receipts from the
wholesale liquidation could be such that a small portion of the line may be
utilized temporarily.

The Company also announced that it will change its name to Noodle Kidoodle,
Inc. subject to stockholders approval with the vote expected to take place
in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.
