1.   Unaudited information:

     The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with  the
     requirements  of Form  10-Q  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-Q  should  refer to the  Company's
     10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999 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 June 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative
     of the results for a full year.

2.   Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue at the  time its products are shipped, or by
     the percentage of completion method of accounting for those  projects where
     the build to install timeline is of longer duration.

3.   Inventory:

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
     market. Inventory  as  of June 30, 2000 and  December 31, 1999, consists of
     the following:

4.   Credit Facility:

     On March 1, 2000, the Company increased its secured line of credit to $40.0
     million.  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
     March 1, 2003.  Interest  payments are required at least every three months
     at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the applicable  "Reserve  Adjusted
     LIBOR Rate" (9.25% at June 30,  2000).  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 a balance  outstanding of $33,238,000 as of
     June 30, 2000.

5.   Acquisitions:

     Acquisition of SCS Interactive:

     Effective March 1, 2000, the Company  purchased 100% of the common stock of
     SCS  Interactive,  Inc.,  ("SCS"),  a provider  of  interactive  water play
     products  located in Tillamook,  Oregon.  Results of operations of SCS were
     included in the Company's consolidated statement of income beginning on the
     effective date of the transaction.

     The purchase price consisted of cash and Koala Corporation  common stock. A
     cash  payment of  $18,052,903  was made at closing,  which was based on the
     cash component of the purchase  price less  holdbacks  equal to $2,181,097.
     The cash component was financed  primarily from an advance on the Company's
     line of  credit  in the  amount  of  approximately  $18,000,000.  The stock
     component resulted in the issuance of 425,758 shares of Koala common stock.
     In addition,  costs of  approximately  $600,000 were incurred in connection
     with this  acquisition.  Initial  consideration  and acquisition costs were
     allocated  to  tangible  assets  based on  relative  fair  value,  with the
     remaining balance  allocated to patents,  other  intellectual  property and
     goodwill.

     The pro forma  unaudited  results of  operations of the Company for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 assuming  consummation  of the purchase
     of SCS as of January 1, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

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,  safety straps for
     shopping   carts  and  activity   products.   All  of  these  products  are
     manufactured  by  sub-contractors,   except  for  Superior  Foam  which  is
     manufactured  by the Company in Texas.  These  products are sold direct and
     through distribution.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

6.   Business Segments: (Continued)

     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 British Columbia, Florida, Oregon and New York. These
     products     are     sold     direct     and     through     manufacturers'
     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:

     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  flagship  product,  has been
     installed in 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.

     Business Segments

     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,  safety straps for
     shopping  carts and activity  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,  except for its
     Superior Foam division, which utilizes percentage of completion.

    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Business Segments (continued)

     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 British Columbia, Florida, Oregon and New York. These
     products     are     sold     direct     and     through     manufacturers'
     representatives/dealers.  The  Company  recognizes  revenue at the time its
     products  are  shipped,  or by  the  percentage  of  completion  method  of
     accounting  for those  projects  where the build to install  timeline is of
     longer duration.

     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 Acquisition

     Acquisition of SCS Interactive:

     On March 1, 2000,  the Company  purchased  100% of the common  stock of SCS
     Interactive,  Inc.,  a  provider  of  interactive  and  modular  water play
     products located in Tillamook,  Oregon for cash and stock  consideration of
     $25.7 million.

     SCS products are primarily  marketed and sold to amusement and water parks.
     The SCS  acquisition  further  broadens  the  Company's  product  lines and
     complements the Company's 1998 and 1999 acquisitions of Park Structures and
     Superior Foam. The  acquisition  also affords the Company an opportunity to
     sell its convenience and children's activity products into new markets. SCS
     product line is included in the children's  modular play equipment business
     segment.

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

     Results of Operations

     Three   Months  Ended  June  30,  2000  compared  to  Three   Months  Ended
     June 30, 1999


     Sales increased 88% to $17,162,269 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
     compared  to  $9,150,995   for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1999.
     Convenience and activity  product segment sales increased 20% to $4,763,834
     for the three months  ended June 30, 2000  compared to  $3,975,144  for the
     three months ended June 30, 1999. Sales by Smart Products and Superior Foam
     were  included in this segment as of September 1, 1999,  and March 1, 1999,
     respectively,  the effective date of each purchase.  Modular play equipment
     segment sales  increased 140% to $12,398,435 for the second quarter of 2000
     compared to $5,175,851 for the second quarter of 1999. The inclusion of SCS
     Interactive for the entire quarter contributed to the increase.

     Gross profit for the second quarter of 2000 was  $7,995,805  (47% of sales)
     compared with $4,753,360 (52% of sales) for the second quarter of 1999. The
     gross profit percentage for the first quarter 2000 decreased from the gross
     profit percentage  achieved for first quarter 1999 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 2000 to $3,854,622 (22% of sales) from $2,315,261 (25% of sales)
     for the same  period  in  1999.  Sales  and  marketing  expenses  increased
     $585,487  to  $1,765,934  for  the  second  quarter  of  2000  compared  to
     $1,180,447 for the second quarter of 1999.  This increase was due primarily
     to the inclusion of SCS Interactive,  Smart Products,  and the higher level
     of sales achieved.  General and administrative  expenses increased $953,874
     to $2,088,688 for the second quarter of 2000 compared to $1,134,814 for the
     second quarter of 1999. The increase in general and administrative  expense
     was  primarily  the result of the  inclusion of SCS  Interactive  and Smart
     Products.

     Net  income for the second  quarter of 2000 was  $1,883,240  (11% of sales)
     compared  with  $1,265,863  (14% of sales) for the second  quarter of 1999.
     This  represents  a 49%  increase in net  income.  The  historically  lower
     margins from SCS Interactive, 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 2000  increased 42%
     compared  to the second  quarter of 1999.  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 529,993 shares.


     Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

     Sales  increased 74% to $28,641,976  for the six months ended June 30, 2000
     compared to $16,450,422 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Convenience
     and activity  product segment sales increased 26% to $9,015,687 for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $7,153,576  for the six months ended
     June 30, 1999.  Sales by Smart  Products and Superior Foam were included in
     this segment as of September 1, 1999, and March 1, 1999, respectively,  the
     effective  date of each  purchase.  Modular play  equipment  segment  sales
     increased  111% to  $19,626,289  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000
     compared  to  $9,296,846  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999.  The
     inclusion  of SCS  Interactive  since  March  1,  2000  contributed  to the
     increase.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Results of Operations (Continued)

     Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

     Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $13,700,726 (48% of
     sales)  compared  with  $8,446,812  (51% of sales) for the six months ended
     June 30, 1999.  The gross profit  percentage  for the six months ended June
     30, 2000  decreased from the gross profit  percentage  achieved for the six
     months  ended  June 30,  1999  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
     ended June 30, 2000 to $6,826,550  (24% of sales) from  $4,137,097  (25% of
     sales) for the same period in 1999. Sales and marketing  expenses increased
     $1,176,549 to $3,413,272 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
     $2,236,723 for the same period in 1999.  This increase was due primarily to
     the inclusion of SCS Interactive,  Smart Products,  and the higher level of
     sales achieved. General and administrative expenses increased $1,512,904 to
     $3,413,278  for the six months ended June 30, 2000  compared to  $1,900,374
     for the same period in 1999.  The  increase  in general and  administrative
     expense was primarily the result of the  inclusion of SCS  Interactive  and
     Smart Products.

     Net income for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 was  $3,146,377  (11% of
     sales)  compared  with  $2,214,540  (14% of sales) for the six months ended
     June  30,  1999.  This  represents  a  42%  increase  in  net  income.  The
     historically  lower  margins  from SCS  Interactive,  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 ended
     June 30, 2000 increased 29% compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999.
     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 555,484
     shares.


     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  free cash flow,  defined as net income plus non-cash  items,
     increased by  $1,525,364  to  $4,502,390  for the six months ended June 30,
     2000 from  $2,977,026  for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The Company
     finances its business activities  primarily from cash provided by operating
     activities  and from  borrowings on its credit  facility.  Cash provided by
     operating  activities  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was
     $65,014 and  $1,680,778,  respectively.  The  decrease in cash  provided by
     operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
     six months ended June 30, 1999 is due primarily to the  integration  of SCS
     Interactive  into Koala  Corporation  and a  combination  of an increase in
     prepaid assets and inventory,  and a decrease in accrued  liabilities.  The
     decrease  in accrued  liabilities  was the result of a  combination  of the
     payment of two  estimated  tax  installlments  (April  and June)  totalling
     $1,390,000 and the  recognition  of unearned  revenue for several large SCS
     Interactive jobs during the quarter.  The Company  continued its investment
     in  inventory  and prepaid  advertising  to support the sales  growth.  The
     Company   historically   incurs   significant   expenditures   for  prepaid
     advertising in the first half of the calendar year. These  expenditures are
     for  catalogs,  brochures,  other  print  material,  trade  shows and media
     advertising  that  will be  utilized  throughout  the year and  charged  to
     expense by year end.

     At June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, working capital was $16,590,901 and
     $12,629,482,  and cash balances  were $422,870 and $173,936,  respectively.
     The low cash  balances  are due to the  Company's  practice of applying all
     excess cash against the line of credit to minimize interest expense payable
     on line of credit balances.

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

     Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)


     The  Company  has used its  operating  cash  flow and its  credit  facility
     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  $18,989,191  and
     $21,907,502 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
     During the first quarter of 2000,  the Company  utilized all of its cash on
     hand and the credit facility to purchase the stock of SCS  Interactive.  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,  the  commercial  foam  product  assets,  and  the
     additional  convenience  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  obtained a $40.0  million  secured  line of credit on March 1,
     2000. 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
     March 1, 2003.  Interest  payments are required at least every three months
     at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the applicable  "Reserve  Adjusted
     LIBOR Rate" (9.25% at June 30,  2000).  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  $33,238,000  outstanding  under the credit
     facility as of June 30, 2000.
