                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full
year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Just
Toys, Inc.'s (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

         (1) Basic loss per share attributable to common stockholders:

         Basic loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss attributable
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. All options, warrants and preferred stock issued by the Company
were antidilutive.

         (2) Reclassifications:

         Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 2000 presentation and that of the Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.

         Substantially all of the Company's US accounts  receivables are sold to
a factor.  Such sales are without recourse as to bad debts, but with recourse as
to customers' claims. Interest is charged at the rate of prime plus one percent,
which was 9.75% and 8.75% at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,  and 9.5% at
December 31, 1999.  The  factoring  arrangement  is secured by a mortgage on the
real property  owned by the Company's  manufacturing  subsidiary  and a security
interest in the inventory and personal property located in the United States.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. The statements appear in a number of places in this Quarterly Report and
include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Just
Toys, Inc. (the "Company") with respect to, among other things, future business
conditions and the outlook for the Company including trends affecting the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof. These forward looking statements are subject
to risks and uncertainties which could cause the Company's actual results or
performance to differ materially from those expressed in these statements. These
risks and uncertainties include the following: changes in consumer preferences,
dependence on a limited number of major customers, reliance on manufacturers
based in Asia, competition from major toy companies, seasonality and quarterly
fluctuations, government regulation, as well as the items set forth under
"Business--Certain Cautionary Factors" in the Company's December 31, 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Wherever possible, the Company has identified forward
looking statements by words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates,"
"expects" and similar expressions. The Company assumes no obligation to update
publicly any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

Results of Operations

         In each of the three years ended December 31, 1999, the Company has had
increasing losses. The Company believes that it needs to increase its sales and
distribution in order to increase its profitability. During 1999, the Company
invested in a number of new licenses and product lines and expanded existing
product lines, thereby increasing the number of new products available for sale
in 2000 and in subsequent years. The Company also is increasing its efforts to
sell to a wider range of customers to increase its sales. The Company also seeks
to improve its cash flow through continuing its close control of inventory
levels and monitoring expenditures. The Company anticipates that the foregoing
efforts can improve the sales, profitability and cash flow of its operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

         Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased 7.9% to
$3,039,000 from $2,818,000 in the comparable period in 1999. The increase in
sales is due primarily to broader product placement and to inventory
replenishment by retailers.

         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 36.0% for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 37.7% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. This decrease resulted primarily from the sale of certain
discontinued merchandise at lower profit margins in connection with an
aggressive inventory management plan. Gross profit increased 3.1% to $1,094,000
in the first quarter of 2000 from $1,062,000 in the comparable period in 1999 as
a result of the increase in sales.

         The Company's net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of net sales,
is to some extent dependent on its mix of business during a given time period.
Variables include such factors as whether merchandise is shipped from a domestic
warehouse or directly from Asia, whether the merchandise is purchased from
overseas sources or is produced domestically and the specific blend of products
shipped to the Company's customers.

         Royalty expense increased to $216,000, or 7.1% of net sales, in the
period ended March 31, 2000 from $111,000, or 3.9% of net sales, for the period
ended March 31, 1999, primarily due to the increase of licensed items in the
product mix and improved first quarter sales of those items.

         Merchandising, selling, warehousing and distribution expenses decreased
4.6% to $841,000 for the first quarter of 2000 from $881,000 in the comparable
1999 period. This decrease resulted from continued cost control measures,
including a reduction in personnel costs, which were partly offset by increased
commissions due to the increase in sales for the quarter.

         General and administrative expenses decreased 5.9% to $625,000 for the
first quarter of 2000 from $664,000 in the comparable 1999 period. This decrease
resulted from a reduction in personnel and other related costs.

         The Company had an operating loss of $588,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared with an operating loss of $595,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999.

         Interest expense was $116,000 in the first quarter of 2000 as compared
to $107,000 in the comparable period in 1999.

         The Company had a net loss of $704,000 in the first quarter of 2000 as
compared to $702,000 in the first quarter of 1999.

         In 2000 and 1999, the Company deducted dividends paid on its preferred
stock outstanding, and the accretion of the Series B Stock to its redemption
value as expenses in computing net loss attributable to common stockholders.

         Basic loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 totaled $.32 per share compared to a basic loss per
share attributable to common stockholders of $.32 per share in the comparable
period in 1999 based upon 2,243,000 and 2,239,000 weighted average shares
outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources in
2000 and 1999 were funds provided from operations and its credit agreement with
Milberg Factors, Inc. ("Milberg"). At March 31, 2000, working capital reflected
a deficiency of $176,000 as compared to a working capital of approximately
$722,000 at December 31, 1999. The decrease in working capital for the period
primarily is a result of (a) the loss for the quarter, (b) the Company's
investment in product development and (c) capital expenditures for fixed assets
consisting primarily of molds and tools for new products.

                                      -8-

<PAGE>



         Cash used in operating activities in the first three months of 2000 was
$1,374,000 as compared with $740,000 in the comparable period in 1999. The
increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to investments
in new product lines during the quarter and the timing of certain allowances
taken by customers.

         Cash used in investing activities was $206,000 and $131,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, which was primarily
attributable to capital expenditures for fixed assets, including molds and
tooling for new products.

         Cash provided by financing activities was $1,481,000 and $814,000 in
the first three months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Funds borrowed from
Milberg were used to finance the operations of the business.

         The Company's factoring agreement with Milberg provides for advances
equal to the lesser of 85% of total accounts receivable or $5,000,000. The
factoring charge is 0.65% of receivables. Advances bear interest at the rate of
prime plus one percent. Milberg has also agreed to advance to the Company, at
the Company's request, the lesser of $2,000,000 or 50% of the Company's
inventory located in the United States. Such advances also bear interest at the
rate of prime plus one percent. Additionally, the factoring arrangement with
Milberg is secured by a mortgage on the real property owned by the Company's
manufacturing subsidiary and a security interest in the inventory and personal
property located in the United States.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1999, 499 shares of Series B
Stock were converted into 250 shares of Common Stock. No shares of Series B
Stock were converted into Common Stock during the three month period ended March
31, 2000.

         The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, its ability to
control expenditures and available borrowings will be adequate to meet its
obligations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

Seasonality

         The toy industry is typically seasonal in nature due to the heavy
demand for toy products during the Christmas season. During the past several
years, the Company has experienced a shift in its revenues to the second half of
the year with fourth quarter revenues becoming increasingly significant. The
Company expects that this trend will continue due to industry changes and due to
changes to its product mix. This concentration increases the risk of (a)
underproduction of popular items, (b) overproduction of less popular items and
(c) failure to achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules.

                                      -9-

Backlog

         Total order backlog at March 31, 2000 and 1999 was approximately
$1,474,000 and $1,690,000, respectively. The Company expects substantially all
of its current backlog to be filled during 2000. Cancellations may materially
reduce the amount of sales realized from the Company's backlog. The business of
the Company is characterized by customer order patterns which vary from one year
to the next largely because of the different levels of consumer acceptance of a
product line, product availability, marketing strategies, inventory levels of
retailers and differences in overall economic conditions. The use of
just-in-time/quick response inventory techniques and replenishment programs by
larger retailers has resulted in fewer orders being placed in advance of
shipment and more orders for immediate delivery. This distorts the comparisons
of unshipped orders at any given date. The Company expects these trends to
continue. Additionally, it is a general industry practice that orders are
subject to amendment or cancellation by customers prior to shipment. Therefore,
comparisons of unshipped orders in any specific period in any given year with
those same periods in preceding years are not necessarily indicative of sales
for an entire year. Order backlog is also impacted by a shift in the Company's
revenues to the second half of the year with fourth quarter revenues becoming
increasingly significant. The Company does not consider total order backlog to
be a meaningful indicator of future sales.
