                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The Company is a developer, marketer and distributor of child safety and
     child care, convenience, and activity products.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company
     have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
     and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the management,
     reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
     necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations
     and cash flows for the periods presented.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
     statements and notes thereto included in the financial statements filed as
     part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended
     January 2, 1999.

     The results of the operations for the three months and six months ended
     July 3, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
     the full year.

     Total comprehensive income for the six months ended July 3, 1999 was $66,
     versus comprehensive deficit of $(93) for the year ended January 2, 1999.
     Total comprehensive income (deficit) includes foreign currency translation
     adjustments.


NOTE 2.   EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

     In July and August 1999 Bear, Stearns and Co, Inc., and BT Capital
     Partners, Inc., exercised warrants to purchase 1,267,183 shares of the
     Company's common stock at the exercise price of $.01 per share. This
     increased the outstanding shares of common stock to 8,498,304 as of August
     13, 1999; note that this has no effect on the computation of diluted
     earnings per common share since the warrants have been included in the
     computation as common stock equivalents in each historical period since
     July 30, 1997.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

          Statement of Forward-Looking Information:

          The Company may occasionally make forward-looking statements and
          estimates, such as forecasts and projections of the Company's future
          performance or statements of management's plans and objectives. These
          forward-looking statements may be contained in SEC filings, Annual
          Reports to Shareholders, Press Releases and oral statements, among
          others, made by the Company. Actual results could differ materially
          from those in such forward-looking statements. Therefore, no
          assurances can be given that the results in such forward-looking
          statements will be achieved. Important factors that could cause the
          Company's actual results to differ from those contained in such
          forward-looking statements include, among others, those factors set
          forth in Exhibit 99 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
          the year ended January 2, 1999, and incorporated herein by reference.

          Results of Operations:

          THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1999 AND JULY 4, 1998 ($ in thousands)

          Net sales for the three months ended July 3, 1999 increased 21.2% to
          $39,938 from $32,952 in the comparable period of 1998. The majority of
          the increase in net sales was due to continued increases of core
          products as the Company obtained greater distribution of its product
          line plus increased sales of new products introduced in 1999.

          Gross profit for the three months ended July 3, 1999 was $15,594, or
          39.0% of net sales, as compared to $12,889, or 39.1% for the three
          months ended July 4, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to product
          mix as the percentage of bulk products, which contain lower margins,
          continues to increase as a percentage of total sales.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,234 to
          $11,031, or 27.6% of net sales, for the three months ended July 3,
          1999 from $9,797, or 29.7% of net sales for the comparable period in
          1998. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in
          selling related expenses caused by the sales increase as well as an
          increase in payroll and payroll related costs. The reduction as a
          percentage of sales was due to the leveraging of fixed costs over a
          higher sales base, in addition to increased efficiencies at the
          Company's distribution center.

          As a result of the above factors, operating income for the three
          months ended July 3, 1999 was $4,563. The operating income for the
          comparable period last year was $3,092. This represents an increase of
          47.6%.

          Interest expense decreased by $68 to $965 for the three months ended
          July 3, 1999 from $1,033 for the three months ended July 4, 1998.

          SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1999 AND JULY 4, 1998 ($ in thousands)

          Net sales for the six months ended July 3, 1999 increased 24.9% to
          $79,773 from $63,888 in the comparable period of 1998. The increase
          was the result of sales of new product introductions in 1999 as well
          as increased sales of core products as the Company obtained greater
          distribution of its product line.

          Gross profit for the six months ended July 3, 1999 was $31,119, or
          39.0% of net sales, as compared to $25,231, or 39.5% for the six
          months ended July 4, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to product
          mix as the percentage of bulk products, which contain lower margins,
          continues to increase as a percentage of total sales.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,907 to
          $22,634, or 28.3% of net sales, for the six months ended July 3, 1999
          from $19,727, or 30.9% of net sales for the comparable period in 1998.
          This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in selling
          related expenses caused by the sales increase as


                                       8

          well as an increase in payroll and payroll related costs. The
          reduction as a percentage of sales was due to the leveraging of fixed
          costs over a higher sales base, in addition to increased efficiencies
          at the Company's distribution center.

          As a result of the above factors, operating income for the six months
          ended July 3, 1999 was $8,485. The operating income for the
          comparable period last year was $5,504. This represents an increase of
          54.2%.

          Interest expense decreased by $22 to $1,935 for the six months ended
          July 3, 1999 from $1,957 for the three months ended July 4, 1998.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital and
          capital expenditures. The Company's capital needs are provided by
          availability under the Company's term loan and revolving credit
          facility, as well as through internally generated funds.

          Net cash provided by operations was $987 for the first six months
          ended July 3, 1999, with the net income generated by the Company being
          used to fund increases in accounts receivable and inventory.

          Cash flows used in investing activities was $2,694 related to the
          purchase of property and equipment, principally molds for new product
          introductions. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,197,
          primarily related to borrowings from the Company's revolving credit
          facility of $2,508 coupled with principal term loan repayments of
          $1,250.

          The Company believes that its cash, together with its current bank
          facility will be sufficient to meet its operating and other cash
          requirements for at least the next twelve months.

          Year 2000

          The Year 2000 ("Y2K") [problem is a result of computer programs being
          written using two digits (rather than four) to define the applicable
          year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive software
          may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
          2000. This could result in a major system failure or miscalculationsl.
          In addition, the Company's major customers and vendors must also be
          Y2K compliant to ensure that customer orders will be properly
          processed and that vendors will be able to supply the Company with
          inventory per the terms of its purchase orders. There could be a
          material disruption in the Company's business if the computer systems
          of the Company, its customers or its vendors are not Y2K compliant.

          The Company is addressing the Y2K issue in a three-part approach. The
          first task completed was to upgrade the Company's internal computer
          systems to become Y2K compliant for recurring transaction processing
          and financial record-keeping. In January 1999 the Company migrated to
          a new BaaN computer system which enables all significant internal
          systems to be Y2K compliant. The implementation cost of this system
          was approximately $5,400,000. The second issue addressed by the
          Company was to work with the Company's customers to ensure that sales
          orders, particularly those generated via EDI transmissions, will be
          able to be processed with Year 2000 dates. The Company's major
          customers are large retailers such as Walmart and Toys 'R Us, who have
          invested substantial resources relating to Year 2000 issues, and
          virtually all of the Company's major accounts have been tested for Y2K
          processing issues with no significant problems noted to date. The
          final issue is to ensure that the Company's vendors will be able to
          fulfill purchase orders with Year 2000 dates. The Company uses
          approximately 10 significant vendors to source the majority of its
          product, and all of these vendors (as well as the smaller vendors) are
          being thoroughly reviewed by the Company at this time to ensure that
          they will be Y2K compliant.

          Based on the work performed to date, the Company believes that there
          will be no material disruption in its business resulting from Y2K
          issues. The Company is developing contingency plans for both customers
          and vendors to increase its readiness for potential issues, which will
          be completed during fiscal 1999. The cost to complete these
          contingency plans is estimated to be less than $100,000.

          Risks", in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal

          developments with respect to derivatives or exposure to market risk.
