                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)             
                          


1.	  Interim Reporting

     The interim financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end
     adjustments.  However, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments
     (which consist only of	normal recurring accruals) have been made to present
     fairly the consolidated operating	results for the unaudited periods.
     Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's	business, results for
     interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the	fiscal
     year.

2.	  Earnings Per Share

	    Earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 1995 and
 	   April 30, 1994 are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
     average number	of common shares outstanding, after reduction for treasury
     shares and assuming exercise	of dilutive stock	options computed by the
     treasury stock method using the average market price during the period.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               AND FINANCIAL CONDITION              
           

Results of Operations

Sales increased by $31 million or 2.1% in the first quarter over the prior
year's comparable period due primarily to sales from new toy and children's
clothing stores, offset by the closing of 19 children's clothing stores since
the beginning of 1994.  Comparable USA toy store sales decreased by 10% for the
quarter, and excluding consumables, video game products and hanging clothing,
have declined 3%.  International toy stores also experienced a decline in
comparable sales due primarily to the continued poor retail environment in
Central Europe.  Kids "R" Us had comparable store sales decreases due to the
weak apparel sales environment.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 68.5% in the first
quarter of 1994 to 68.1% in the first quarter of 1995 due to a more favorable
product mix.

Selling, advertising, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales increased to 25.9% for the first quarter versus 24.0% for the prior year's
comparable period as a result of overall comparable store sales declines and new
store growth.

Net interest expense increased in the quarter compared to the prior year's
quarter, principally as a result of higher average short-term borrowings
due primarily to higher inventories and the share repurchase program.

The effective tax rate remained constant at 37% for the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to the first quarter of 1994.

Since January 28, 1995, foreign currency exchange rates have experienced
fluctuations, however, the impact on net earnings was not significant.

Financial Condition

Plans are underway for approximately 40 USA and 50 international toy stores,
and 10 Kids "R" Us children's clothing stores.  Annual capital expenditures for
new and existing facilities are estimated to be approximately $575 million. Cash
requirements for operations, capital expenditures, lease commitments and the
share repurchase program will be met primarily through operating activities,
borrowings under the $1 billion revolving credit facility, issuance of
short-term commercial paper and bank borrowings for foreign subsidiaries.
