1.   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  should refer to the Company's

     The quarterly  financial  information  has been prepared in accordance with

     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 June 30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative

     The Company obtained a $15.0 million secured line of credit on December 16,
     1998. The line of credit is secured by  substantially  all of the assets of

     as of June 30, 1999.

6.   Business Segments:

     The Company  operates two business  segments:  (1) Family  Convenience  and
     Children's  Activity  Products,  and (2) Children's Modular Play Equipment.
     The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic business units that offer
     different  products.  They are managed  separately based on the fundamental
     differences in the operations.

     The  Company's  convenience  and  activity  products  include the  flagship
     product,  the baby changing station ("BCS").  Other significant products in
     this  segment  are the  sanitary  paper  liners  for  the  BCS,  the  child
     protection seat, the infant seat kradle, the high chair,  activity products
     and foam products.  All of these  products,  except the foam products,  are
     manufactured by sub-contractors. These products are sold direct and through
     distribution.

     The  Company's  modular  play  equipment  includes  both indoor and outdoor
     equipment. The indoor play equipment is custom designed for the customer. A
     catalog  is used to promote  and  advertise  the  outdoor  play  equipment,
     however,  custom  modifications are often made to accommodate the customers
     needs and desires.  These products are  manufactured  by the Company at its
     facilities located in Delta,  British Columbia and Coral Springs,  Florida.
     These    products    are   sold    direct    and    through    manufacturer
     representatives/dealers.

     The Company  evaluates the  performance of its segments based  primarily on
     operating  profit before  acquisition  intangible  amortization,  corporate
     expenses and interest income and expense.  The Company allocates  corporate
     expenses to individual segments based on segment sales.  Corporate expenses
     are  primarily  labor  costs  of  executive  management  and  shareholders'
     relations  costs.  The following  table presents sales and other  financial
     information by business segment:

children's  modular play equipment.  The Koala Bear Kare Baby Changing  Station,
the Company's  initial  product,  has been installed in hundreds of thousands of
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 visitors who bring
children  to  their  establishments.  Koala  markets  its  products  through  an
integrated  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 Expenses

The  Company's  sales  are  derived  from  two  business  segments:  (1)  Family
Convenience and Children's  Activity  Products,  and (2) Children's Modular Play
Equipment.

The Company's  convenience and activity  products include the flagship  product,
the baby changing station ("BCS").  Other  significant  products in this segment
are the sanitary paper liners for the BCS, the child protection seat, the infant
seat kradle, the high chair, activity products and foam products. These products
are sold  direct and  through  distribution.  The  Company  recognizes  sales of
products from this business segment at the time the products are shipped.

The Company's modular play equipment includes both indoor and outdoor equipment.
The indoor play equipment is custom designed for the customer. A catalog is used
to  promote  and  advertise  the  outdoor  play   equipment,   however,   custom
modifications are often made to

Components of Sales and Expenses  (continued):

accommodate the customers needs and desires.  These products are manufactured by
the  Company at its  facilities  located in Delta,  British  Columbia  and Coral
Springs,  Florida.  These  products  are sold  direct and  through  manufacturer
representatives/dealers.  The Company  recognizes  sales of  products  from this
business segment at the time the products are shipped.

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 fabrication of components and assembly of the products.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive and
office salaries,  related payroll taxes, advertising expenses,  commissions paid
to  manufacturers'  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 Acquisitions

Acquisition of Park Structures:

In December 1998, the Company acquired  substantially  all of the assets of Park
Structures,  Inc.("Park  Structures"),  a provider of children's outdoor modular
play systems based in Coral Springs, Florida for cash and stock consideration up
to $18.7 million and subject to an asset adjustment.

Park Structures products are marketed and sold to municipalities,  parks, public
and  private  schools,  day  care  centers  and  private  developers.  The  Park
Structures   acquisition  further  broadens  the  Company's  product  lines  and
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  product line is included in the  children's  modular play  equipment
business segment.

Acquisition of Superior Foam:

In March 1999,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all the assets of Superior
Foam & Polymers,  Inc.  ("Superior"),  for cash and stock totaling $6.0 million.
Located near Austin,  Texas,  Superior is a manufacturer of commercial  activity
products.

The primary market for Superior's  products are retail stores,  shopping  malls,
amusement  parks and  water  parks.  Superior's  products  come in a variety  of
themes,  shapes, colors and sizes. The products are suitable for both indoor and
outdoor use. Superior  manufactures a line of off-the-shelf models for customers
to consider, as well as custom designed products

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

Sales  increased  107% to $9,150,995  for the second quarter of 1999 compared to
$4,429,581  for the second  quarter of 1998.  Convenience  and activity  product
segment sales  increased  35% to $3,975,144  for the three months ended June 30,
1999 compared to $2,944,808,  for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  Modular
play equipment segment sales increased 249% to $5,175,851 for the second quarter
of 1999 compared to $1,484,773,for  the second quarter of 1998. The inclusion of
Park Structures in the Modular Play segment and Superior Foam in the Convenience
and  Activity  segment  for  the  entire  second  quarter  of  1999  contributed
significantly to the segment revenue increases.

Gross  profit  for the  second  quarter  of 1999 was  $4,753,360  (52% of sales)
compared  with  $2,541,524  (57% of sales) for the second  quarter of 1998.  The
gross profit  percentage  for the second  quarter 1999  decreased from the gross
profit achieved for second quarter 1998 primarily because of the increase in the
proportional mix of modular play equipment sales,  which historically have lower
margins than the convenience and activity products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the second quarter of
1999 to $2,315,261  (25% of sales) from  $1,309,598  (30% of sales) for the same
period in 1998. Sales and marketing  expenses  increased  $314,555 to $1,180,447
for the second  quarter of 1999  compared to $865,892 for the second  quarter of
1998.  This increase was due primarily to the inclusion of Park  Structures  and
Superior Foam and the higher level of sales achieved. General and administrative
expenses  increased  $691,108  to  $1,134,814  for the  second  quarter  of 1999
compared to $443,706 for the second quarter of 1998. The increase in general and
administrative  expense  was  primarily  the  result  of the  inclusion  of Park
Structures and Superior Foam and higher  depreciation  charges  arising from the
addition of office equipment for the companies new tele-sales  facility added in
January 1999.

Net income for the second quarter of 1999 was $1,265,863 (14% of sales) compared
with $773,950 (18% of sales) for the second quarter of 1998.  This  represents a
64% increase in net income.  The historically lower margins from Park Structures
and Delta's sales  contributed  to the decrease in net income as a percentage of
sales.  Net income per share (assuming  dilution) for the second quarter of 1999
increased 30% compared to the second quarter of 1998. The percentage increase in
net income per share (assuming  dilution) was lower than the percentage increase
in net income  primarily  as a result of an  increase  in the  weighted  average
number of shares outstanding of 681,211 shares.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

Sales  increased  95% to  $16,450,422  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1999
compared to $8,443,575 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  Convenience  and
activity  product  segment sales  increased 33% to $7,153,576 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999  compared to  $5,397,359  for the six months  ended June 30,
1998.  Modular play equipment segment sales increased 205% to $9,296,846 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to  $3,046,216  for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.  The  inclusion of Park  Structures  in Modular Play and Superior
Foam in  Convenience  and  Activity  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999
contributed significantly to the segment revenue increase.

Gross  profit for the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 was  $8,446,812  (51% of
sales) compared with $4,813,595 (57% of sales) for the six months ended June 30,
1998.  The gross  profit  percentage  for the six months  ending  June 30,  1999
decreased  from the gross profit  achieved  for six months  ending June 30, 1998
primarily  because of the  increase  in the  proportional  mix of  modular  play
equipment sales,  which historically have lower margins than the convenience and
activity products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the six months ending
June 30, 1999 to $4,137,097  (25% of sales) from  $2,538,619  (30% of sales) for
the same period in 1998.  Sales and  marketing  expenses  increased  $584,414 to
$2,236,723  for the six months ending June 30, 1999  compared to $1,652,309  for
the six months  ending June 30, 1998.  This  increase  was due  primarily to the
inclusion of Park  Structures  and  Superior  Foam and the higher level of sales
achieved. General and administrative expenses increased $1,014,064 to $1,900,374
for the six months  ending June 30, 1999 compared to $886,310 for the six months
ending June 30,  1998.  The increase in general and  administrative  expense was
primarily the result of the inclusion of Park  Structures  and Superior Foam and
higher  depreciation  charges arising from the addition of office  equipment for
the companies new Tele-sales facility added in January 1999.

Net income for the six months ending June 30, 1999 was $2,214,540 (14% of sales)
compared with $1,408,939 (17% of sales) for the six months ending June 30, 1998.
This  represents a 57% increase in net income.  The  historically  lower margins
from Park Structures and Delta's sales contributed to the decrease in net income
as a percentage of sales.  Net income per share (assuming  dilution) for the six
months ending June 30, 1999 increased 28% compared to the six months ending June
30, 1998. The percentage  increase in net income per share  (assuming  dilution)
was lower than the percentage increase in net income primarily as a result of an
increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 594,262 shares.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  free cash  flow,  defined  as net income  plus  non-cash  items,
increased by  $1,320,955  to  $2,977,026  for the six months ended June 30, 1999
from $1,656,072 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company finances its
business activities primarily from cash provided by operating  activities.  Cash
provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
was  $1,679,761  and  $382,969,  respectively.  The increase in cash provided by
operating  activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1998 is due primarily to the increase in free cash flow as
described above. The Company utilized operating cash during the first six months
of 1999 to support  sales growth and the  resultant  increases in inventory  and
accounts   receivable  and  investment  in  advertising  and  other  promotional
programs.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued):

Working  capital as of June 30, 1999 and  December 31, 1998 was  $9,817,213  and
$8,731,924,  respectively,  and cash balances were $83,083 and $6,493,570 at the
same dates.  The cash balance at December 31, 1998 included most of the proceeds
of the  secondary  public  offering  completed in December  1998.  Cash balances
decreased in 1999 due to the use of internal cash  balances for payment  against
the note payable incurred in connection with the Park Structures acquisition.

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  $(21,907,502)  and $(349,760) for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998,  respectively.  In 1999, the Company  utilized all of its cash on
hand and the credit  facility to pay the note payable related to the purchase of
the  children's  modular play equipment  assets and the commercial  foam product
assets. The Company also invested approximately $400,000 in the first quarter of
1999 for the  data and  telecommunications  infrastructure  utilized  in the new
KoalaTel tele-sales facility.  The Company does not anticipate any extraordinary
capital expenditures in the near future.

As discussed  above,  the Company has accrued an  additional  $1.0 million to be
paid in August  1999 to the former  owners of Park  Structures  pursuant  to the
earnout provisions of the Purchase Agreement.  The Company anticipates that such
payments will be funded from existing cash balances,  cash flow from  operations
and  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, and repay the borrowings under the credit facility.

The Company  obtained a $15.0  million  secured  line of credit on December  16,
1998.  The line of credit is secured by  substantially  all of the assets of the
Company. 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  and is  payable in full on  December  16,  2001.  Interest
payments  are  required at least every three  months at a  fluctuating  rate per
annum equal to the applicable "Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate". A commitment fee in
the amount of .25% is payable  quarterly in arrears  based on the average  daily
unused portion of the line. There was $12,730,000  outstanding  under the credit
facility as of June 30, 1999.

Year 2000

Historically, certain computerized systems have used two digits rather than four
to identify the year.  Computer equipment and software,  as well as devices with
imbedded  technology,  that  are  dependent  on  time or  date  information  may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, possibly
resulting  in range of  problems,  from simple  miscalculations  to total system
failures. This problem is generally referred to as the "Year 2000" issue.

The Company has  assessed its  exposure to risks  associated  with the Year 2000
issue in terms of "internal"  issues  (systems and  equipment  which the Company
owns or controls), and "external" issues (systems and equipment of third parties
with whom the Company does business).

The Company has initiated Year 2000  compliance  evaluations of Park  Structures
and  Superior  Foam  (collectively  "the New  Divisions")  however,  because the
acquisitions were only recently completed (December 16, 1998 and March 26, 1999,
respectively),  the Company has not completed its  evaluation of their Year 2000
issues.  The New Divisions have informed the Company that they estimate the cost
to modify their  computer  systems to address Year 2000 issues will be less than
$5,000 and that such remediation will be completed prior to the Year 2000.

                                       14
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year 2000 (continued):

The New  Divisions  have  informed the Company that they do not  anticipate  any
material disruption in their operations as a result of any Year 2000 issues. The
New Divisions do not have any  information  concerning  the potential  impact of
Year 2000 issues on any of its  suppliers  or  customers.  The Company  plans to
further  evaluate the potential impact of Year 2000 issues on the New Divisions'
suppliers  and  customers.  The Year 2000 issue  could  have a material  adverse
effect on New Divisions' operations and on the Company.

The Company's other operations have only limited information technology systems,
consisting  of separate  local area networks at its  headquarters  and Vancouver
locations.  These networks run accounting  software at both locations and design
software  at the  Vancouver  location.  The Company  has  completed  assessment,
remediation  through  the  installation  of Year  2000  compliant  software  and
independent  testing of all  application  software and the operating  systems at
both locations,  and believes that its information  technology  systems are Year
2000  compliant.  The  cost  to the  Company  to  achieve  this  compliance  was
approximately  $40,000,  which was used to purchase software and hardware and to
pay independent consultants. The Company funded these costs from available cash.
The Company believes such  remediation is complete,  and expects that no further
costs of remediation will be required. Should such remediation prove inadequate,
the most likely worst case scenario would be a failure of the Company's computer
systems, which would likely cause significant delays in order taking, receiving,
order  fulfillment and other core functions which would have a material  adverse
affect on the Company.  However, because the Company believes its remediation of
its computer  systems will allow the Company to avoid the risks  associated with
the Year 2000 issues,  it has not  developed a separate  contingency  plan for a
scenario in which the Company's  remedial  measures  fail.  The Company does not
believe  that it has  any  systems  or  equipment  other  than  its  information
technology  systems that would have a material  adverse effect on the Company if
such systems were not Year 2000 compliant.

The Company is also  evaluating  whether  there may be third  parties that could
materially adversely affect the Company through non-compliance.  The Company has
identified  the New  Divisions,  suppliers,  customers,  its bank  and  national
delivery services as the parties most likely to materially  adversely affect the
Company through such non-compliance.  The risks include the failure of suppliers
to timely deliver materials and finished  products,  the failure of customers to
remit payments  timely,  the failure of its bank to process its funds or loss of
data relating to the Company's funds and delays by national delivery services in
shipments of the Company's products. The most likely worst case scenario for the
Company would be a confluence of these events coupled with other adverse effects
on the economy generally that would impact sales of the Company's products.  The
Company has contacted  its ten largest  suppliers  and  customers,  its bank and
national delivery services to ascertain their Year 2000 readiness.  To date, the
Company has received responses from all of the suppliers and customers, the bank
and some of the national delivery services.  The respondents have indicated that
they are at  various  stages of  assessment,  remediation  or  testing  of their
systems  relative to Year 2000 compliance.  Based on the responses,  the Company
does not  foresee  significant  problems  with the Year  2000  issue and has not
developed a contingency plan to deal with non-compliance  issues.  Nevertheless,
the Company will continue to monitor the responses from third parties as well as
the Year 2000  issue in  general  to  ascertain  whether  additional  actions or
contingency plans may be necessary. In addition,  despite its efforts to address
Year 2000 issues,  the Company could potentially  experience  disruptions to its
operations,  including  those  related to  non-compliant  systems  used by third
parties. Such disruptions could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
