                           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


REVENUES

Trudy Corporation's revenues for the six months ended September 30,1998 were
$1,732,201 - a decrease of $525,207 compared with the same period last year.
Sales to warehouse clubs, the largest market segment, were down $171,367 to
$869,755 due to inventory carryover from the prior year and the clubs' decision
to purchase more conservatively. Sales to bookstores and specialty retailers
were also below last year as the number of independent bookstores continues to
decline and specialty stores have become more selective in their purchases.
Sales to schools and education wholesalers were improved as a result of the
Company's decision to target this growing market segment.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were $1,021,468 - a decrease
of $560,085 compared with the same period of last year. The decreases cited for
the first six months primarily occurred in this quarter.

PROFIT AND LOSSES

A net loss of $111,457 for the first six months of fiscal 1999 compares to a
profit of $153,357 for the same period last year. This decline in profitability
is primarily the result of the lower sales volume. Income was below last year
also because of higher expenses associated with the amortization of book design
costs, higher depreciation expense, and higher interest expense. Product
procurement costs have been reduced as a result of improved pricing from Asian
manufacturing sources. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were in
line with last year's levels. Interest expense increased as a result of higher
borrowing needed to fund working capital requirements. Depreciation expense was
also higher than last year due to the acquisition of a new computer system and
software. Early in the second quarter, having determined that the new software
was inadequately serving its needs, the Company decided to purchase an
alternative software package.

Net income for the three months ended September 30 was $10,368. The Company
reported a profit of $248,659 for the same quarter last year. The reasons for
this decrease are the same as those cited for the first six months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Accounts receivable were $744,487 on September 30, 1998 compared with $536,633
on June 30, 1998. This increase is due entirely to increased sales activity
especially to warehouse clubs which have extended payment terms. Inventory
levels were $1,718,561 on September 30 compared with $1,760,352 on June 30.
Inventory levels have been maintained to fill holiday retail and direct mail
orders in the third quarter. As of September 30, 1998, the

                                      -6-

balance owed on bank loans was $1,081,958 compared with $1,100,070 on June 30,
while loans to the president of the Company and his family totaled $797,003
compared with $449,046 on June 30. The president loaned the Company an
additional $338,900 in the second quarter of this year to fund working capital
needs and the second computer system conversion.
