                                KOALA CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   Description of business and principles of consolidation:

     Nature of operations:

     Koala  Corporation,  together  with its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  ( the
     "Company"),  is a leading  designer,  producer  and  worldwide  marketer of
     innovative   commercial   products,   systems  and  solutions  that  create
     attractive  family-friendly  environments  for  businesses and other public
     venues.  The  Company  produces  family  convenience  products,  children's
     activity products and children's indoor and outdoor modular play equipment.

     Principles of consolidation:

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Koala
     Corporation and all subsidiaries.  All significant  inter-company  accounts
     and transactions have been eliminated in  consolidation.  The operations of
     Delta Play, Ltd. are included in the accompanying financial statements from
     June 1, 1997, the effective date of its acquisition. See Note 6 below.


2. Unaudited information:

     The accompanying  financial statements are presented in accordance with the
     requirements  of Form  10-QSB and  consequently  do not  include all of the
     disclosures  normally required by generally accepted accounting  principles
     or  those  normally  made  in the  Company's  annual  Form  10-KSB  filing.
     Accordingly,  the  reader  of this  Form  10-QSB  may  wish to refer to the
     Company's  10-KSB  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1997  for  further
     information.

     The quarterly  financial  information  has been prepared in accordance with
     the Company's customary  accounting  practices and has not been audited. In
     the  opinion  of  management,   the  information   presented  reflects  all
     adjustments  necessary for a fair  statement of interim  results.  All such
     adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations
     for the  interim  period  ended  September  30,  1998  are not  necessarily
     indicative of the results for a full year.


3.   Inventory:

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
     market.  Inventory as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, consists
     of the following:

                                     September 30,1998    December 31, 1997

                                KOALA CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

                                   (UNAUDITED)

4.  Credit Facility:

     The Company obtained a $2.0 million  unsecured line of credit in June 1997.
     The line of credit may be used for  short-term  working  capital  needs and
     future acquisitions. There are no compensating balance requirements and the
     credit facility  requires  compliance with financial loan covenants related
     to debt  levels  compared to  annualized  cash flows from  operations.  The
     credit  facility  terminates  on June  24,  1999.  There  were  no  amounts
     outstanding under the credit facility as of September 30, 1998.


5. Earnings per share:

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     No. 128,  Earnings per Share.  Statement  128 replaced the  calculation  of
     primary  and fully  diluted  earnings  per  share  with  basic and  diluted
     earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per share,  basic earnings per
     share excludes any dilutive  effects of options,  warrants and  convertible
     securities.  Diluted  earnings per share is very similar to the  previously
     reported fully diluted  earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts
     for all  periods  have  been  restated  to  conform  to the  Statement  128
     requirements.

     There is no difference  between after tax earnings for calculation of basic
     earnings per share versus diluted earnings per share. The reconciliation of
     the weighted average shares  outstanding for purposes of calculating  basic
     earnings per share versus diluted earnings per share is as follows:

                                                              September 30,   
                                                         1998              1997
                                                         ----              ----

6.   Acquisition of Delta Play, Ltd.:

     On June 23, 1997, the Company acquired  substantially  all of the assets of
     Delta Play, Ltd.  (Delta),  a leading provider of custom indoor and outdoor
     modular play systems based in Vancouver,  British Columbia. The acquisition
     was effective June 1, 1997 and was accounted for as a purchase.  Results of
     operations of Delta were included in the Company's consolidated  statements
     of income beginning on the effective date.

     As initial  consideration,  the  Company  paid  $4,180,609  cash and issued
     40,000  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock  valued  at  $600,000.  In
     addition,  costs related to the acquisition of approximately  $456,000 were
     incurred and capitalized as goodwill.  The purchase agreement also provided
     for  additional  consideration  in the  form of cash  payments  if  certain
     operating  performance  criteria were met by Delta over the 12 month period
     from June 1, 1997 to May

         FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

                                   (UNAUDITED)

6.   Acquisition of Delta Play, Ltd.: (continued)

     31,  1998.  In  August  1998,  the  Company  paid  $610,160  in  additional
     consideration  pursuant to the  earnout  provisions  of the Delta  purchase
     agreement.  The additional  consideration  paid was treated as goodwill and
     recorded to intangibles on the balance sheet.

     The pro forma  unaudited  results of  operations  for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997, assuming  consummation of the purchase as of January 1,
     1997, are as follows:


                   Net sales                                   $11,119,400
                   Net income                                   $1,929,200
                   Net income per share - diluted                    $0.74


7.  Comprehensive Income:

     As of January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement No. 130,  Reporting
     Comprehensive Income. Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting
     and  display of  comprehensive  income  and its  components;  however,  the
     adoption of this  Statement  had no impact on the  Company's  net income or
     shareholders'  equity.  Statement 130 requires foreign currency translation
     adjustments,   which  prior  to  adoption  were   reported   separately  in
     shareholders'  equity, to be included in other comprehensive  income. Prior
     year  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the
     requirements of Statement 130.

8.   Stock Option Plan:

     In January 1998, the Company  authorized  the amendment and  restatement of
     the 1995 Koala Corporation Stock Option Plan to grant an additional 250,000
     shares and allow the  transfer  of  non-qualified  stock  options to family
     members without Board of Directors  approval or to non-employees with Board
     of Directors  approval.  The amendment and  restatement was approved by the
     Company's shareholders at its annual shareholders meeting in May 1998.

 9.  Pending Acquisition:

     On August 13, 1998,  the Company  entered into an agreement to purchase the
     combined assets of Park Structures,  Inc. and Park Structures  Sales,  Inc.
     ("Park  Structures") in  consideration  for up to $18.7 million in cash and
     common stock of Koala  Corporation.  Park  Structures  produces and markets
     children's outdoor modular play systems for  municipalities,  parks, public
     and private schools,  day care centers and private  developers.  Closing of
     the Park Structures acquisition will occur simultaneously with closing of a
     secondary  public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company plans
     to issue  approximately  1,000,000  shares of common stock  pursuant to the
     proposed secondary offering.

chief executive  officer;  substantial  competition  from larger  companies with
greater financial and other resources than the Company; the success of its Koala
Kare marketing strategy;  its dependence on suppliers for manufacture of some of
its products;  currency  fluctuations  and other risks  associated  with foreign
sales and foreign  operations;  quarterly  fluctuations in revenues,  income and

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

Overview

Koala  Corporation  is a leading  designer,  producer and worldwide  marketer of
innovative  commercial  products,  systems and solutions that create  attractive
family-friendly environments for businesses and other public venues. The Company
produces  family  convenience   products,   children's   activity  products  and
children's  modular play equipment.  The Koala Bear Kare Baby Changing  Station,
the Company's  initial  product,  has been  installed in  approximately  300,000
public  restrooms  worldwide.   The  Baby  Changing  Station  has  provided  the
foundation for the Company's growth and brand name recognition.

The Company markets its products,  systems and custom  solutions to a wide range
of businesses and public  facilities  that serve customers and vistors who bring
children  to  their  establishments.  Koala  markets  its  products  through  an
intergrated  program  of direct  sales  and  distribution  through a network  of
independent  manufacturer's sales  representatives and dealers.  Since 1995, the
Company has increased its sales and  marketing  efforts  through the addition of
manufacturer's sales representatives, dealers and Company sales representatives.

Components of Sales and Expense

The  Company's  sales  are  derived  primarily  from  the  sale  of  its  family
convenience products, which include Baby Changing Stations,  disposable sanitary
liners for the Baby  Changing  Stations,  Child  Protection  Seats,  Infant Seat
Kradles,  and  Booster  Buddy  seats.  These  products  are  sold  primarily  to
commercial, institutional, and recreational facilities such as shopping centers,
retail  establishments,  restaurants,  sports and recreational  facilities,  and
other public buildings.

In addition,  in furtherance of the Company's  "Koala Kare" marketing  strategy,
the Company  acquired  certain assets of Activities  Unlimited,  a developer and
distributor of commercial-use children's activities products at the end of first
quarter  1996,  and Delta Play,  Ltd.  ("Delta"),  a leading  provider of custom
indoor and outdoor modular play systems, in June 1997. Sales from these acquired
product  lines have  reduced the  Company's  dependency  on  revenues  from Baby
Changing  Stations.  The Company  recognizes  sales at the time its products are
shipped.

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


Components of Sales and Expenses (continued)

Cost of sales  consists of  components  manufactured  for the Company and direct
labor and manufacturing  overhead incurred by the Company.  All major components
are manufactured by outside  vendors.  Direct labor and  manufacturing  overhead
relate to the assembly of the products. Beginning in September 1996, the Company
sub-contracted out the assembly operations for the Baby Changing Stations, Child
Protection Seats and Infant Seat Kradles.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive and
office salaries,  related payroll taxes, advertising expenses,  commissions paid
to  manufacturers's   sales  representatives  and  other  miscellaneous  selling
expenses.

The  Company  provides  limited  warranties  for its  products.  The Company has
experienced  minimal returns and warranty  claims,  and therefore no accrual has
been made for future claims.

The Company's quarterly revenues and net income are subject to fluctuation based
on customer  order  patterns  and Company  shipping  activity.  Because of these
fluctuations,  comparisons of operating  results from quarter to quarter for the
current  year or for  comparable  quarters  of the prior year may be  difficult.
Except as set forth below, these fluctuations are not expected to be significant
when considered on an annual basis.


Recent Developments

On August 14,  1998,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  to purchase  the
combined assets of Park Structures,  Inc. and Park Structures Sales, Inc. ("Park
Structures") in consideration for up to $18.7 million.  Park Structures produces
and markets children's outdoor modular play systems for  municipalities,  parks,
public and private schools, day care centers and private developers.

The Park Structures  acquisition is the Company's third business  acquisition in
three years and further  broadens the Company's  product lines.  The acquisition
complements the Company's June 1997  acquisition of a line of children's  indoor
modular  play systems and also  affords the Company an  opportunity  to sell its
family  convenience  and  children's  activity  products into new markets.  Park
Structures  will  receive  $12.7  million in cash at closing  and is entitled to
receive up to an additional  $6.0  million,  of which $4.5 million is payable in
cash and $1.5  million  is payable in common  stock of the  Company,  if certain
earnings  targets are met.  Over the four years ended  December 31,  1997,  Park
Structures' sales have grown at a compound average rate of 34%.

Closing  of the Park  Structures  acquisition  will  occur  simultaneously  with
closing of a proposed secondary offering.  The closing was scheduled to occur by
October 31, 1998. The Company has extended the closing date to December 31, 1998
due to the impact of market  conditions  on its ability to  complete  the public
offering. The Company is considering other options to finance the acquisition if
the  public  offering  is not  completed.  There  can be no  assurance  that the
acquisition will be completed.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended Sept. 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended Sept. 30, 1997

Sales  increased  25% to  $5,048,932  for the third  quarter of 1998 compared to
$4,048,932 for the third quarter of 1997. Sales from Delta provided the majority
of the  increase,  while the sales and  marketing  strategy  implemented  by the
Company  for the  family  convenience  and  children's  activity  products  also
contributed to the additional sales growth for 1998.

Gross  profit  for the  third  quarter  of 1998 was  $2,701,774  (54% of  sales)
compared with $2,347,946 (58% of sales) for the third quarter of 1997. The gross
profit  percentage  for the third quarter 1998  decreased  from the gross profit
achieved for third quarter 1997 primarily because of an increased  proportion of
Delta sales,  which  realize a lower margin,  along with a higher  proportion of
sales of family  convenience  and children's  activity  products  through dealer
channels, where reduced margins are realized.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased for the third quarter of
1998 to $1,356,002  (27% of sales) from  $1,260,246  (31% of sales) for the same
period in 1997. Sales and marketing  expenses  increased  $104,829 for the third
quarter of 1998  compared to third  quarter of 1997.  This increase is primarily
due to variable sales expenses such as advertising  costs and  commissions  paid
that have increased because of the sales increases.  General and  administrative
expenses  decreased  $9,073 for the third  quarter of 1998 compared to the third
quarter of 1997. The slight decrease in general and administrative  expenses was
primarily due to the fact that most of the  administrative  cost  infrastructure
was put in place by the third quarter of 1997 and has remained fixed in nature.

Net income for the third  quarter of 1998 was $812,797  (16% of sales)  compared
with $667,826 (16% of sales) for the third  quarter of 1997.  This  represents a
22% increase in net income.  Net income per  share-diluted for the third quarter
of 1998 increased 23% compared to the third quarter of 1997.

Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, 1998 Compared to Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, 1997

Sales  increased 44% to $13,492,507 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
compared to $9,340,926 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997. A majority
of the increase resulted from sales of children's indoor modular play equipment,
a product line acquired effective June 1, 1997. The sales and marketing programs
that the Company  implemented for the family convenience and children's activity
product lines also contributed to the increased sales.

Gross profit increased 31% to $7,515,369 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 compared to $5,725,397  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997. As a
percentage of sales,  gross profit  decreased in the 1998 period compared to the
1997 period primarily  because of a change in product mix that included sales of
children's indoor modular play equipment along with a higher proportion of sales
of family convenience and children's  activity products through dealer channels,
where lower gross profit margins are realized.

Selling,  general and administrative expense increased 36% to $3,894,621 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1998 compared to $2,857,808 for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997.  Sales  and  marketing  expense  increased  33%  to
$2,555,352  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 compared to $1,921,963
for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997.  These cost increases were due to
the  inclusion of the  children's  indoor  modular play  equipment  line and the
higher  level of  sales  achieved  and  included  costs  for  various  marketing
programs, commissions paid to manufacturer's sales

representatives  and salaries of sales and marketing  personnel added subsequent
to  the  1997  period.  General  and  administrative  expense  increased  43% to
$1,339,269 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $935,845 for
the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997.  The  increase  in  general  and
administrative  expense  was  primarily  the  result  of  the  inclusion  of the
children's indoor modular play equipment line.

The  Company's  effective  tax rates were 35.5% for both the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Net income  increased 22% to $2,221,736 for the nine months ended  September 30,
1998 compared to $1,825,917  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997. As a
percentage of sales,  net income declined during the 1998 period compared to the
1997 period  primarily  due to the  inclusion  of the  children's  modular  play
equipment line in the product mix. Net income per  share-diluted  increased 19%,
or $.14,  to $.86 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 compared to $.72
for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997.  The  percentage  increase in net
income per share-diluted was lower than the percentage increase in net income as
a result of an  increase  of 52,248  shares in the  weighted  average  number of
shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  free  cashflow,  defined  as net  income  plus  non-cash  items,
increased by $559,452 to $2,611,907 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
from  $2,052,455  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997.  The Company
finances  its  business  activities  primarily  from cash  provided by operating
activities.  Cash  provided by  operating  activities  for the nine months ended
September  30, 1998 and 1997 was  $564,182  and  $2,211,030,  respectively.  The
decrease in cash  provided by  operating  activities  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1998  compared to the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 is due
primarily to a combination  of an increase in accounts  receivable  due to a 44%
increase in year over year sales,  increased  investment in inventory  levels of
raw  materials  and finished  goods to support the sales  growth,  a decrease of
accounts  payable and  increases in prepaid  expenses and deferred  offering and
acquisition  costs  during the 1998 period and the receipt of a large tax refund
in March 1997.

Working  capital as of September  30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was  $5,367,346
and $3,945,110,  respectively,  and cash balances were $1,187,522 and $1,832,677
at the same dates.

The Company  has used its  operating  cash flow  primarily  to expand  sales and
marketing  activities,  for  acquisition  and  development of new products,  for
capital  expenditures  and for  working  capital.  Net  cash  used by  investing
activities was $5,016,040 and $1,106,490 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1998, respectively.  In 1997, substantially all of the cash was used to
purchase  the  children's  modular  play  equipment  assets,  with  the  balance
primarily devoted to capital expenditures. Net cash used by investing activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 relate to capital  expenditures for
leasehold improvements on a new facility in British Columbia,  tooling, computer
hardware and software,  patents and intangibles.  The Company also paid $610,160
of additional  consideration under the earn-out provisions of the Delta purchase
agreement in August  1998.  The Company does not  anticipate  any  extraordinary
capital expenditures in the near future.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

The Company obtained a $2.0 million unsecured line of credit from a bank in June
1997. The Company  borrowed  $500,000 on the line to fund  operations  after the
acquisition  of the  children's  modular  play  equipment  line in July 1997 and
repaid the loan from cash flow later in the same  month.  Management  expects to
use the credit facility  periodically  for short-term  working capital needs and
for short-term  financing of future  acquisitions.  The interest rate on amounts
borrowed  under the line of credit  ranges  from  LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus
2.75%.  There  were no  amounts  outstanding  under the  credit  facility  as of
September 30, 1998.

As discussed  above,  Park  Structures is entitled to receive up to an additonal
$4.5  million  in  cash  if  certain  earnings  targets  are  met.  The  Company
anticipates that such payments would be funded from existing cash balances, cash
flow from  operations and short-term  borrowings  under the line of credit.  The
Company  believes that cash flow from  operations will be sufficient to fund its
operations for the foreseeable future.

Year 2000

The Company has developed a plan to make its  information  technology  ready for
the Year  2000 and  believes  that its  critical  data  processing  systems  are
currently  ready for the Year  2000.  The  Company  has  expended  approximately
$20,000 to upgrade its systems to be Year 2000 compliant.

Material  disruptions  to the  operations of the Company's  major  customers and
suppliers as a result of Year 2000 issues could have a material  adverse  impact
on the Company's operations and financial  condition.  The Company has initiated
communications with all of its significant  suppliers and customers to determine
the extent to which the  Company's  operations  are  vulnerable  to those  third
parties'  failure to make their own systems  Year 2000  compliant.  Although the
Company has not received responses from all of these suppliers and customers, it
does not foresee any  significant  problems  with this issue,  and is developing
contingency plans to mitigate any possible disruptions.

New Accounting Standards

The FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  Disclosure  about  Segments of an Enterprise  and
Related  Information,  on June 30, 1997. This statement  establishes  additional
standards for segment reporting in the financial statements and is effective for
the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.  Management intends to comply
with the  disclosure  requirements  of this  statement and does not anticipate a
material impact on the results of operations of each segment.

In  June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging  Acivities,  which is  required to be adopted in years
beginning after June 15, 1998.  Management does not anticipate that the adoption
of this  statement  will have a significant  effect on earnings or the financial
position of the Company.
