PART I
Item 1. Business
Introduction
Childrobics, Inc.1 is engaged in the children's recreation and
entertainment business. The Company currently operates several complementary
businesses which service the childrens' recreation and entertainment industry.
These businesses include the distribution of amusement games, rides and
redemption items, the manufacture, design and assembly of softplay structures,
and the operation of video and arcade games and rides.
Through June 30, 1996 the Company also owned and operated indoor and
indoor/outdoor recreation and entertainment centers through its subsidiaries and
was a franchiser of Playcenters throughout the United States. Upon arrival of
new management as of the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company has disposed
of substantially all of its recreational Playcenters, closed its franchising
operation and acquired new businesses to compliment its remaining operations, as
hereinafter discussed.
In June 1994, the Company completed its initial public
offering of 2,875,000 Units at $4.00 per Unit, from which the Company derived
net proceeds of $9,722,330. Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and
one Class A Warrant, which entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common
Stock at $4.50 per share during the four-year period commencing one year from
the effective date of the offering, June 14, 1994. Prior to the offering, the
Company had owned and operated one playcenter located in the New York City
metropolitan area. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering to build
and open additional playcenters and to acquire outright or majority interests in
several complementary businesses.
Business Strategy
The Company's business strategy has historically been to
expand its operations in the childrens' recreational entertainment industry
through the acquisition of complimentary businesses. Due to several developments
occurring during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company has expanded
its business strategy to include disposing of underperforming assets,
reorganizing its management and operations and maintaining and developing the
core profitable segments of the Company's business.
In connection with its expanded business strategy, on July 3,
1996, the Company appointed two new independent directors to the board of
directors of the Company (the "Board") to assist the Company in its efforts to
restructure its management and operations. See "Business - Certain
Considerations Relating to the Business - Dependence Upon Management" and
"Managements's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition" and Notes 2 and
13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of its acquisition strategy, the Company, pursuant to
an Agreement of Merger, dated September 30, 1996 (the "Agreement of Merger"),
acquired Just Kiddie Rides, Inc. ("Just Kiddie"), a leading supplier and
operator of coin-operated children's rides. In connection therewith entered into
an Employment Agreement (the "Employment
- --------

"Registrant" are used interchangeably and denote Childrobics, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Agreement") with Gerard A. Reda, formerly President of Just Kiddie, pursuant to
which, Mr. Reda became President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of
the Company. See "Business - Certain Considerations Relating to the Business -
Growth Acquisition Risks Certain Risks Related to the Acquisition of Just
Kiddie" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition."
Through June 30, 1996, the Company had owned and operated 9
indoor/outdoor recreational and entertainment centers ("Playcenters") in New
York, Connecticut and Florida. During fiscal 1996, such Playcenters were not
operating profitably. In an effort to dispose of its underperforming assets, the
Company divested itself of substantially all of its Playcenters in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1997 and is currently in the process of divesting itself
of all of its remaining Playcenters. The disposition of its remaining
Playcenters is subject to negotiations and execution of definitive agreements
and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate such
transaction on acceptable terms or at all. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition."
In connection with restructuring its management, the Company
entered into an Employment Option Termination Agreement (the "Termination
Agreement") with the three former officers and directors of the Company the
("Former Officers"), pursuant to which such Former Officers, among other things,
agreed to terminate their employment with the Company and resign as directors of
the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition."
On October 3, 1996 the Company entered into a financing
agreement ("the Financing Agreement") with the Lender (as hereinafter defined)
pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide the Company with financing in the
amount of $1,500,000 in exchange for warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. Such finance has been used by the Company to finance
the acquisition of Just Kiddie and the buy-out of the Former Officers, and will
be used to fund the continuing operations of the Company. See "Managements's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition."
The Company
Coin-Operated Children's Rides
The Company, subsequent to its acquisition of Just Kiddie, has
become a leading supplier and operator of coin-operated children's rides in
North America. These childrens' rides are referred to as "mini attractions" and
include generic shapes, custom products ranging from the classic "Coney Island
Carousel Horse" to "Corporate Logos" and characters licensed from Hanna Barbera,
D.C. Comics, Turner Entertainment, United Feature Syndicate and NASCAR. Some of
Just Kiddie's most popular rides include: Batmobile, Peanuts, Flintstones, Tom &
Jerry and the Jetsons. In eight years as a private company, Just Kiddie grew to
become the market store leader in the United States of coin-operated rides. Just
Kiddie distributes and operates rides with many retailers including: Toys "R"
Us, Walmart, BJ's Wholesale Club, King Kullen, Edwards, Foodtown and many
others.
Video and Arcade Game Route
In March 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of the
assets of Turnpike Distributing Corp. ("Turnpike"), a distributer of video and
arcade games, amusement rides and redemption items, Group Coin Amusements
("Group Coin") and
- 2 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
Replay Amusement Corp. ("Replay Amusement"), which operate video and arcade
games (the operations of Replay Amusement were subsequently folded into Group
Coin), and Amusement Associates Distributing ("Amusement Associates"), which
leases video and arcade games. The Company, through Group Coin, places its video
and arcade games at non- Company owned facilities. The Company generates
revenues from such games pursuant to revenue-sharing arrangements with such
facilities. The Company currently has placed video and arcade equipment in
approximately 50 facilities.
Softplay Equipment Manufacturing
In June 1995, the Company acquired all of the assets of
Tunnels & Tubes for Fun, Inc. ("Tunnels"), a manufacturer and assembler of
softplay equipment and structures. The Company, through Tunnels designs,
manufactures and assembles softplay equipment structures which have been sold,
both domestically and internationally, to various family recreation facilities.
Recent Developments
Appointment of Two New Directors
At a special meeting of the Board held on July 3, 1996, the
Company increased the number of members of the Board from three to five members
and appointed Conrad J.
Gunther, Jr. and Douglas B. Fox to serve as members of the Board.
Mr. Gunther has been a business development manager and
financial advisor with the Allied Group, a privately-owned insurance brokerage
firm, since 1995. He also served as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice
President of North Fork Bancorporation, a publicly-traded company, from 1989 to
1995.
Since 1994, Mr. Fox has been employed with Landmark
Communications, Inc. ("Landmark"), a multi-divisional media company and served
as Chief Operating Officer- President of Publishing and Video Games of Landmark
from June 1994 to November 1995. Mr. Fox joined Times Mirror, Inc., a newspaper
group, in 1987 and served as Corporate Vice President-Marketing from October
1987 to May 1994 and as President and Chief Operating Officer of New York
Newsday from September 1990 to October 1992.
In addition, as compensation for agreeing to serve as members
of the Board, the Company has agreed to elect each of Messrs. Gunther and Fox to
the Board pursuant to the following terms:
(a) Each of Messrs. Gunther and Fox were granted options,
subject to shareholder approval, to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of
the Company, exercisable at $.10 per share, such options to vest in three
installments, 50,000 of which shall vest on the date of election to the Board
and the next two installments of 25,000 options to vest on the next two
anniversaries thereof, provided, however all such options shall immediately vest
under certain circumstances (The shares issuable upon exercise of such options
are also subject to restriction on sale without the consent of the Company for a
period of two years); and
(b) The Company agreed to grant to each of Messrs. Gunther and
Fox, at a later date, subject to shareholder approval, options to purchase an
additional 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $.10
per share, such options to vest in three

installments, 50,000 of which shall vest on the date of grant of such options
and the next two installments of 25,000 options to vest on the next two
anniversaries thereof, provided, however all such options shall immediately vest
under certain circumstances (The shares issuable upon exercise of such options
are also subject to restriction on sale without the consent of the Company for a
period of two years).
On October 3, 1996, the Company entered into five-year
consulting agreements with each of Messrs. Douglas Fox and Conrad Gunther,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay each of Messrs. Fox and Gunther a
monthly retainer of $2,500 plus expenses, agreed to grant to each of Messrs. Fox
and Gunther ten-year options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $.10 per share and to pay each of Messrs. Fox and Gunther
additional compensation in connection with special projects, which may present
themselves from time to time. See "Business - Certain Considerations Relating to
the Business -
Dependence Upon Management," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition," and Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of Just Kiddie
Pursuant to an Agreement of Merger between Just Kiddie and the
Company, Just Kiddie merged into Just Kiddie Acquisition Corp. (the "Acquisition
Corp."), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, on September 30, 1996 (the
"Merger"). Pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, the Company agreed to issue an
aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the shareholders of Just
Kiddie, promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000, and a
non-competition payment to Mr. Reda in the amount of $250,000 in exchange for
all of the outstanding shares of common stock, without par value, of Just Kiddie
("Just Kiddie Common Stock"). Gerard A. Reda, who, prior to the Merger, was the
owner of 85% of the outstanding Just Kiddie Common Stock, received, as
consideration for the Just Kiddie Common Stock held by Mr. Reda, pursuant to the
Agreement of Merger, 4,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which
represents approximately 41% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on
10,355,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding), among other things, in exchange
for his shares of Just Kiddie Common Stock. See "Business - Certain
Considerations Relating to the Business - Growth Acquisition Risks" and " -
Certain Risks Related to the Acquisition of Just Kiddie," and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition," and Note 20 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Employment Agreement with Gerard A. Reda
On September 30, 1996, the Company entered into the Employment
Agreement with Gerard A. Reda, pursuant to which Mr. Reda agreed to serve as the
Company's President and Chief Executive Officer for a term of five years
commencing on the date thereof (the "Commencement Date"). In addition to certain
employee benefits, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Reda an annual salary of
$250,000, subject to adjustment upon terms agreed upon by the Board and Mr.
Reda, after the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Mr. Reda shall also
be granted options at the discretion of the Board based upon the performance of
the Company and the performance of Mr. Reda. In addition, pursuant to the
Employment Agreement, the Company elected Mr. Reda to serve as a member of the
Board. See "Business - Certain Considerations Relating to the Business -
Dependence Upon Management," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition, and Note 20 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financing Agreement

<PAGE>
153384-2
On October 3, 1996, the Company, and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, the Acquisition Corp., Turnpike, Amusement Associates, Group Coin,
and Tunnels, as borrowers, entered into the Financing Agreement with Sterling
Commercial Capital, Inc. ("Sterling"), Norwood Venture Corp. ("Norwood") and
Vega Capital Corp. ("Vega" and, collectively, with Sterling and Norwood, the
"Lender"), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide the Company with
financing in the principal amount of $1,500,000. In exchange for such financing,
the Company agreed, among other things, to execute and deliver to the Lender,
for a purchase price of Ten Dollars ($10), a warrant (the "Financing Warrant"),
representing the right to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis at any time on or before September 30, 2003 at an aggregate
exercise price of $100. The Financing Warrants were exercised in full, and the
Lender currently holds approximately 32.6% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, based upon 15,355,000 shares of Common Stock currently outstanding. See
"Managements's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition - General
Background. See Note 20 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sale of Underperforming Assets
On September 25, 1996, the Company sold to a buyer (the
"Buyer") the stock in its Playcenters located in Danbury, Connecticut for
$350,000, Medford, New York for $400,000 and Lynbrook, New York for $325,000. At
the closing of this transaction, the Company received cash in the aggregate
amount of $60,000 and notes receivable for $490,000, payable to the Company
after closing as follows: (1) $115,000 in 30 days; (2) $75,000 in six months;
(3) $25,000 in nine months; (4) $75,000 in twelve months and (5) $200,000 in two
years. The Company will also receive, (1) within six months of the closing, at
the sole discretion of the Buyer, either $100,000 by delivery of 25,000 shares
of restricted stock of the Buyer or $25,000 in cash; and (2) within twelve
months of the closing, at the sole discretion of the Buyer, either $100,000 by
delivery of 25,000 shares of restricted stock of the Buyer or $50,000 in cash.
The Buyer has also agreed to assume the following debt for each of the
respective Playcenters: (1) $150,000 for Lynbrook, New York, (2) $50,000 for
Danbury Connecticut and (3) $250,000 for Medford, New York. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition" and Notes 2 and 4 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sales from operations of these Playcenters were $2,803,306 and
$477,745 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In
connection with the sale of these three playcenters, the Buyer executed a five
year contract with Group Coin Associates, one of the Company's subsidiaries, to
act as the sole operator of video and arcade games at these three playcenters.
See "Managements's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition."
Management Restructuring and Disposition of Certain Playcenters to Certain
Former
Officers.
On July 3, 1996, the Company entered into an Employment and
Option Termination Agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with Salvatore
Casaccio, the Company's former Chairman, former Chief Executive Officer and a
former Director of the Company; A. Joseph Melnick, the Company's former
President, former Chief Operating Officer, former Chief Financial Officer and a
former Director of the Company; and Richard Bartlett, the Company's former
Executive Vice President and a former Director of the Company (collectively, the
"Former Officers"). Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, the
Former Officers agreed to terminate their employment agreements with the
Company, to resign as officers and Directors of the Company and to relinquish
certain options previously granted to them by the Company, in exchange for which
each of the Former Officers received $200,000 (plus
- 5 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
reimbursement for certain expenses not to exceed $17,000 in the aggregate, and
in the case of Mr. Bartlett, the repayment of loans previously made by Mr.
Bartlett to the Company in the amount of $87,620) and each of the Former
Officers were granted options to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. At the closing of the Termination
Agreement, $50,000 was paid to each of the Former Officers (plus the expense
reimbursement and loan repayment referenced above) and the remainder of such
obligations with respect to the payments to be made to the Former Officers were
evidenced by notes issued by the Company in favor of each of the Former
Officers, which are due one year from the closing of the Termination Agreement
(subject to certain mandatory prepayments) and are secured by the assets of
Group Coin Associates, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company. The Company has also
agreed to use its best efforts to register the sale of the shares issuable upon
exercise of such options, subject to certain restrictions on the sale of such
shares by the Former Officers. See "Managements's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition - General Background" and "Results of Operations." See Note
13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Termination
Agreement, at the closing thereof, the Company transferred to Mr. Casaccio, all
of the outstanding shares of stock of Bayridge Playrobics, Inc., Third Avenue
Playrobics, Inc., and East Side Playrobics, Inc., the Company's subsidiaries
which operate the Company's playcenters in Bayside, Brooklyn and Manhattan, New
York. See "Managements's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition -
General Background." See Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
On September 30, 1996, the Company entered into the Second
Amendment to the Termination Agreement (the "Second Amendment"), pursuant to
which the Company agreed to transfer to Mr. Casaccio all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company which are used in the operation of the Company's
playcenter located at Avenue U, also in Brooklyn, New York, subject to consents
to be obtained in connection therewith. In addition, pursuant to the Second
Amendment, the Company also agreed to transfer to Messrs. Casaccio and Bartlett,
the Company's stock in Fun Station USA of Staten Island, Inc. ("FSSI"), the
Company's subsidiary which operates the Company's playcenter in Staten Island,
New York, subject to certain restrictions on transfer, and until such time as
the Company is able to consummate such transfer, granted a limited revocable
proxy with respect to the shares of FSSI held by the Company. Should the Company
be unable to consummate such transfer, the Company will take appropriate actions
to otherwise dispose of such playcenters. See "Managements's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition - General Background." See Note 13 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Anticipated Disposition of Remaining Playcenters
The remaining Playcenters in which the Company owns an
interest are Explorations Playcenter and Explorations of Boynton Beach
Playcenter, located in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, Florida, respectively. In
the first quarter of fiscal year 1997, the Company entered into a letter of
intent to sell its interest in these two Playcenter. The sale of its interest in
these two Playcenters is subject to negotiations and execution of definitive
agreements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
consummate such transaction on acceptable terms or at all. See Note 4 to Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

153384-2
Advertising and Marketing
The Company relies upon community-based advertising and
promotion campaign which utilizes word-of-mouth, walk-by-traffic, community
leaflets, direct mailings, newspaper advertisements in local and regional
newspapers and magazine advertisements.
Employees
As of September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 40
full-time employees and approximately 225 part-time employees. None of the
Company's employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit and the
Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.
Research and Development
The Company has not expended any amounts in the past on
research and development activities and does not propose to do so during the
present fiscal year.
Regulation
The Company believes it is operating in substantial compliance
with applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations governing its
operations.
Potential Liability and Insurance
The Company's operations include the risk of injury. The
Company, therefore, is exposed to a significant risk of liability for personal
injury. The Company attempts to reduce the risk of potential damage to persons
and property and any associated potential liability by adhering to certain
safety standards and designing its facilities to minimize the potential for
injury. In addition, the Company maintains $1,000,000 of general liability
insurance covering damages resulting from negligent acts, errors or omissions. A
partially or completely uninsured claim, if successful and of sufficient
magnitude, may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial
condition.
Competition; Major Customers
Businesses in the United States serving the children's market
are characterized by intense and substantial direct competition. Although the
market is generally fragmented, certain of the companies with which Company
competes are substantially larger and have substantially greater resources,
especially in marketing and sales, than the Company. It is also likely that
other competitors will emerge in the future.
The Company had sales to one customer located in Brazil, South
America representing approximately 46% and 44% of total continuing sales in 1996
and 1995 and 40% of outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 1995. No
amounts from this customer were due to the Company as of June 30, 1996. In the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company lost this customer. The loss of
this customer has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on
the business of the Company.
Seasonality
- 7 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
The Company believes that its operating results may be subject
to quarterly variations based on a variety of factors, including seasonal
changes in weather and school vacation periods.
Impact of Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material
adverse effect on its operations.
Certain Considerations Relating to the Business
History of Losses; Working Capital Deficit; Need for
Additional Capital
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995,
the Company sustained net losses of $9,873,396 and $1,366,220, respectively.
Although the Company recorded net income from operations prior to its initial
public offering in June 1994, since that time, as the Company has commenced its
expansion plans, the Company has not achieved net income and has not generated
positive cash flow. At June 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit
of $2,531,397. The Company has significant debts related to a liquidity crisis
resulting from its losses from operations for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996. The Company has been able to continue its operations despite its lack of
cash resources as a result of the proceeds received by the Company from the
Lender, pursuant to the Financing Agreement. The Company's ability to continue
its operations is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional
financing, take steps necessary to increase its cash flow, including the sale of
its remaining playcenters, and to continue to persuade its trade creditors not
to insist upon strict adherence to normal payment terms. While Just Kiddie has
previously established its profitability and ability to generate cash flow,
there can be no assurance that such success will continue or that the Company
will be able to obtain additional financing, increase its cash flow or persuade
its trade creditors not to insist upon strict adherence to normal payment terms,
nor can there be any assurance that the Company's operations will become
profitable or will generate positive cash flow in the future. See Note 1 to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Growth and Acquisition Risks
One of the Company's strategies is to increase its revenues
and the markets it serves through the acquisition of other companies. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably
manage additional companies or successfully integrate such additional companies
into its operations without substantial costs, delays or other problems. In
addition, there can be no assurance that any companies acquired will be
profitable at the time of their acquisition or will achieve sales and
profitability that justify the investment therein. Acquisitions may involve a
number of special risks, including adverse effects on the Company's reported
operating results, diversion of managements, attention, dependence on retention
and hiring of key personnel, risks associated with unanticipated problems or
legal liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible assets, some or all of
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and
financial performance. The expansion of the Company's operations, whether
through acquisitions or internal growth, may place substantial burdens on the
Company's management resources and finances and could have an adverse effect on
the Company's operations.
Certain Risks Related to the Acquisition of Just Kiddie
- 8 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
Pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, the Company acquired all
of the assets of Just Kiddie. The Acquisition may potentially subject the
Company to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, diversion of
management's attention, adverse effects on the Company's operating results and
hiring of additional personnel and there can be no assurance that the Company
can successfully integrate Just Kiddie into the Company without substantial
costs, delays or other problems. There can be no assurance that the acquisition
of Just Kiddie will prove beneficial to the Company.
Dependence Upon Management
To a significant extent, the success of the Company's business
is dependent upon Gerard A. Reda. In the event that the services of Mr. Reda
were lost for any reason, the Company's business would be materially adversely
affected.
Reliance on Major Customer
The Company had sales to one customer located in Brazil, South
America representing approximately 46% and 44% of total revenues in fiscal years
1996 and 1995 and 40% of outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 1995. As
of June 30, 1996, no amounts were due from this customer. In the fourth quarter
of fiscal year 1996, the Company lost this customer. The loss of this customer
has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on the Company.
Tax Defaults
The Company has not paid quarterly sales tax in the last two
quarters in the aggregate amount of approximately $175,000 although the Company
has entered into negotiations with the State of New York to resolve the
remaining liabilities. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries have failed
to file (i) a City of New York Rent Tax Return with respect to Third Avenue
Playrobics, Inc. which was due as of June 20, 1996, in the amount of
approximately $10,000, which liability was assumed by the Company's former Chief
Executive Officer (ii) Florida State personal property tax returns with respect
to the Company's subsidiaries located in Florida which were due in December 1995
and (iii) a State of New York estimated quarterly franchise tax return for the
June 1996 quarter in the amount of $6,150. The Company's June 1995 New York
State Franchise Tax payment in the amount of $9,966 was returned by the State of
New York due to an error on the pat of New York State. The Company may also be
subject to certain fines and penalties with respect to such unpaid taxes which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See Note 13 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
No Assurance of Future Profitability or Payment of Dividends
The Company can make no assurances that the future operations
of the Company will result in additional revenues or will be profitable. Should
the operations of the Company be profitable, it is likely that the Company would
retain much or all of its earnings in order to finance future growth and
expansion. Therefore, the Company does not presently intend to pay dividends,
and it is not likely that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
Going Concern
- 9 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
The Company has a working capital deficit of $2,541,347 as of
June 30, 1996. The Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30,
1996 have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the
normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and
financing activities. The Company's working capital deficit raises substantial
doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
viable plans include the following: (1) to generate additional financing through
a $1,500,000 private placement of the Company's Common Stock, (2) to merge with
Just Kiddie Rides, Inc., a profitable privately held company in the same
industry which will complement and supplement the Company's continuing
profitable operations and (3) to shut down, or otherwise divest itself of,
unprofitable operations. Management believes that these plans can be effectively
implemented in the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that
management will be successful in these endeavors. The Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on the implementation and success of
these plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments in the
event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. See Note 21 to Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations
General Background
The Company has experienced significant losses since its
inception in 1994. On July 3, 1996, the Company added two new independent
members to its Board and entered into the Termination Agreement with the Former
Officers. See Notes 2 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of the Termination Agreement, the Company (i)
transferred to its former Chief Executive Officer (a) the Company's stock in
three of its Playcenters located in Brooklyn, Bayside and New York, New York,
respectively, (b) the assets of its original Playcenter located in Brooklyn, New
York and (ii) will transfer in the near future to its former Chief Executive
Officer and former Executive Vice President, the stock in its Playcenter located
in Staten Island, New York. The Former Officers will assume all liabilities
associated with these Playcenters, except liabilities owed to Childrobics and
its other subsidiaries.
On September 25, 1996, the Company completed the sale to the
Buyer of three of its Playcenters located in Danbury, Connecticut, Lynbrook, New
York and Medford, New York for a total of $1,075,000 in the form of cash, notes
receivables, stock and the assumption of debt.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company shut down
its franchising operations. In the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 the Company
executed a letter of intent to sell its Playcenters located in Boca Raton and
Boynton Beach, Florida.
On October 3, 1996, the Company entered into the Financing
Agreement with the Lender pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide the
Company with financing in the amount of $1,500,000. In exchange for such
financing, the Company granted to the Lender, for nominal consideration,
warrants (the "Financing Warrants") representing the right to purchase 5,000,000
shares of Common Stock at an aggregate exercise price of $100. Following the
closing with respect to the Financing Agreement, the Lender exercised the
Financing Warrants. See Note 15.
On September 30, 1996, Just Kiddie merged with and into the
Company. In exchange for the Just Kiddie Common Stock, the Company issued
5,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to the stockholders of Just Kiddie, paid a
$250,000 non-competition payment to Just Kiddie's founder and president, and
issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000. Upon
completion of the merger, Just Kiddie's founder and president became the
Company's new Chief Executive Officer, President and a director. Just Kiddie is
a leading supplier and operator of coin operated children's rides in North
America. In its eight years of existence as a private company, Just Kiddie grew
to become the market leader in the United States of coin operated rides. Just
Kiddie distributes and operates children's rides with many retailers, including
but not limited to, Toys 'R' Us, Walmart, BJ's Wholesale Club, King Kullen,
Edwards and Foodtown.
- 14 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
Following the disposition of all of the Company's Playcenters
as discussed above, and the merger of Just Kiddie, the Company's core operations
will include distribution of equipment and rides and operation of video and
arcade games in non-company owned facilities. Subsequent to its receipt of the
$1,500,000 financing provided by the Lender and the installation of new
management, the Company anticipates that it will be able to stabilize operations
and embark on a growth strategy which will allow it to emerge as a successful
entity in the distribution and operations niche of the children's entertainment
industry.
Results of Operations
In light of the disposition of the Company's Playcenters and
the closure of its franchising operations, the following discussion will
concentrate on the Company's continuing operations as a distributor of equipment
and rides and as an operator of video and arcade equipment.
Total revenues from continuing operations for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996 (the "Current Period") was $7,179,958 compared to $1,974,941
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 (the "Prior Period") an increase of
$5,205,017, or 264%. Total Revenues for the Prior Period reflect the results of
operations for a four month period only, subsequent to the purchase of certain
operation on March 3, 1995. Revenues from the video and arcade equipment ("Route
Operations") for the Current Period were $1,672,340 compared to $397,032 for the
Prior Period, an increase of $1,275,308, or 321%. This increase is the result of
the addition by the Company of four new facilities to its Route Operations in
the Current Period, which significantly increased its revenue base. The Company
anticipates that revenues from Route Operations will continue to increase in
light of existing opportunities for expansion in the market place. Sales of
equipment and rides were $5,507,618 for the Current Period compared to
$1,577,909 for the Prior Periods, an increase of $3,929,709, or 249%. These
sales were negatively impacted in the fourth quarter of the Current Period due
to the cash shortage experienced by the Company (as hereinafter discussed) which
prevented it from acquiring sufficient inventory for resale. As a result of this
cash and inventory shortage, the Company lost its largest customer which
accounted for approximately 46% and 44% of its total revenues in the Current
Period and Prior Periods, respectively. The Company believes that the loss of
this customer has had, and may continue to have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition.
The Company reported total gross margins of 10% for the
Current Period compared to 18% for the Prior Period. Gross margins for Route
Operations were 28% for the Current Period compared to 25% for the Prior Period.
This increase resulted from increased sales, without a corresponding increase in
costs of sales, which principally consist of depreciation of the video and
arcade games and payroll for the collection of its revenues and maintenance of
its equipment. Gross margins for the sale of equipment and rides were 4% for the
Current Period compared to 16% for the Prior Period. The decreased margin for
the Current Period principally resulted from the decreased revenues related to
the cash and inventory shortage experienced by the Company during the fourth
quarter of the Current Period. The Company also increased its costs by providing
for approximately $273,600 of inventory obsolescence and net realizable value
problems in its inventory.
The Company's selling general and administrative expenses ("SGA") were
$2,294,655 for the Current Period compared to $868,775 for the Prior Period. The
increase was a result of relocating to a 25,000 square foot corporate
headquarters facility (which also includes warehousing and showroom space) in
June 1995, and the addition of employees hired to manage the Company's new
businesses acquired or built during Current Period (including businesses
- 15 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
which have subsequently been discontinued). Included in SGA are rents,
utilities, and insurance for all facilities of $636,853 for the Current Period
compared to $213,600 for the Prior Period and advertising of $26,000 for the
Current Period compared to $70,000 for the Prior Period. Also included in SGA
were personnel costs of $731,554 for the Current Period compared to $170,439 for
the Prior Period. The Company also incurred professional fees as part of SGA of
approximately $666,700 for the Current Period compared to $332,000 for the Prior
Period. The professional fees paid by the Company in the Current Period were
higher principally due to legal fees associated with negotiating disputes with
trade vendors and landlords due to the Company's cash shortage and legal costs
associated with the Termination Agreement. The compensation expense related to
the Former Officers of the Company was $2,478,500 for the Current Period
compared to $537,361 for the Prior Period. The Former Officers, who resigned on
July 3, 1996, were paid from the proceeds of the Financing Agreements through
the end of September 1996 and the Company accrued $87,500 related to this period
into the Current Period. Also, included as part of the Former Officers'
compensation, pursuant to the Termination Agreement, in the Current Period was
$1,341,000 related to 300,000 stock options granted to each of the Former
Officers at $.01 per share and $200,000 each related to other provisions of the
Agreement, in addition to their regular salaries of $150,000 each. The Company
provided for approximately $653,300 in the Current Period compared to $14,400 in
the Prior Period, respectively, for uncollectible receivables. Total non-cash
charges for depreciation and amortization amounted to $590,000 for the Current
Period and $134,000 for the Prior Period. The increased depreciation and
amortization expenses were due to additional equipment on the Company's Route
Operations as compared to the Prior Period and the write off of goodwill and
organization expenses which the Company no longer considers to have continuing
value.
Interest expense increased $34,609 to $65,848 for the Current
Period compared to $31,239 in the Prior Period, as a result of increased
borrowing levels in connection with the Company's cash shortage. The Company had
no interest income in the Current Period compared to interest income of $314,294
in the Prior Period. This change reflects the fact that in the Prior Period, the
Company was receiving interest income on remaining investments relating to the
proceeds of its initial public offering in June 1994.
No provision for federal income tax has been made because of
the Company's net loss position. For the Current and Prior Periods, the Company
provided for the minimum taxes related to New York State and New York City of
$58,200 and $24,765, respectively, which were included as part of SGA. The
Company has not paid certain state taxes in New York and Florida and certain
city taxes in New York City. The Company may also be subject to fines and
penalties with respect to such unpaid taxes which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company. See Note 13 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of
$4,783,271, or $1.04 per share, for the Current Period compared to $789,770, or
$.20 per share, for the Prior Period. The Company reported total net losses of
$9,873,159, or $2.14 per share, for the Current Period compared to $1,366,220,
or $.35 per share for the Prior Period.
Discontinued Operations
The Company reported a loss on the disposal of its Playcenter
operations of $3,543,026, or $.77 per share, and a loss from the operations of
discontinued Playcenters of $1,546,862, or $.33 per share, for a total loss from
discontinued operations of $5,089,888, or $1.10 per share, for the Current
Period. For the Prior Period, the Company reported a loss of $576,450, or $.15
per share for discontinued operations. Included in the Current Period losses
- 16 -
<PAGE>
153384-2
was an accrual of $300,000 related to the period from June 30 through September
30, 1996 (the expected date of disposal of such discontinued operations). Such
amount has been accrued in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
#30. Sales of the discontinued operations were $5,361,245 for the Current Period
and $2,209,625 for the Prior Period.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Financial Condition
As of June 30, 1996 the Company utilized all cash generated from current
operations and the balance of cash of $1,467,148 which it had on hand as of June
30, 1995 and was in a severe liquidity crisis. Due to large losses and the cash
crisis the Company was forced to restructure its operations by disposing of a
its unprofitable Playcenters, close its unprofitable franchising operation,
merge with
18
<PAGE>
Just Kiddie and obtain a $1,500,000 five year loan.
Franchising
In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company shut down Explorations Franchise
Group in which it owned approximately 51% of the outstanding shares. Sales of
these operations were $151,585 and $124,379 for the twelve months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995.
Playcenters
As part of the Employment and Option Termination Agreement (See Note 14) the
Company's former Chief Executive Officer received the common stock in the
Playcenters located in Brooklyn, N.Y., Bayside, N.Y., New York, New York. and
the assets of its original Playcenter in Brooklyn, New York. In addition, the
Company's former Executive Vice President, in conjunction with the Company's
former Chief Executive Officer, received the Company's stock representing its
51% interest in its Playcenter located in Staten Island, N.Y. Each officer
received these assets free of charge, however, all liabilities, with the
exception of liabilities owed to other Childrobics subsidiaries, were assumed in
the transaction by the Officers. Sales from the operations of these Playcenters
were $2,184,932 and $1,242,281 for the twelve months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995.
On September 25, 1996, the Company sold to an investor the stock in its
Playcenters located in Danbury, Connecticut for $350,000, Medford, New York for
$400,000 and Lynbrook, New York for $325,000. The Company received cash at
closing of $60,000 and notes receivable for $490,000 payable to the Company
after closing: (1) $115,000 in 30 days; (2) $75,000 in six months; (3) $25,000
in nine months; (4) $75,000 in twelve months, and (5) $200,000 in two years. The
Company will also receive, (1) within six months of the closing, at the sole
discretion of the buyer, either $100,000 by delivery of 25,000 shares of
restricted stock of the buyer or $25,000 in cash; and (2) within twelve months
of the closing, at the sole discretion of the buyer, either $100,000 by delivery
of 25,000 shares of restricted stock of the buyer or $50,000 in cash. The buyer
has also agreed to assume the following debt for each of the respective
Playcenters: (1) $150,000 for Lynbrook, N.Y., (2) $50,000 for Danbury, Ct., and
(3) 250,000 for Medford, N.Y. Sales from operation of these Playcenters were
$2,803,306 and $477,745 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. In connection with the sale of these Playcenters, the buyer
executed a five year contract with Group Coin Associates, a subsidiary of the
Company, to act as the sole operator of video and arcade games in these three
Playcenters.
In first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell
the assets of its operations in Florida known as Exploration ("Explorations").
Included
19
<PAGE>
in the agreement was the Company's 51% owned subsidiary SJB Investments, its
Playcenter located in Boca Raton, Florida; SJB's 100% owned subsidiary
Explorations Entertainment Group; and the Company's 80% owned Playcenter located
in Boynton Beach, Florida, to the management of Explorations. Sales from the
operations of these Playcenters were $639,637 and $236,923 for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion compares and analyzes the
balances associated with the continuing operations of the Company as of June 30,
1996 and 1995. Pursuant to current accounting rules, the Company has restated
the June 30, 1995 balances to exclude all discontinued operations. Net assets of
the discontinued operations at June 30, 1995 total $5,224,460.
Accounts receivable balances increased by $138,560 to the Current Period from
the Prior Period. This increase was primarily due to the increase in sales from
the Prior Period to the Current. The allowance for doubtful accounts increased
from $0 to $650,297. The primary reason for the increase in allowance for
doubtful accounts was due to the sale of equipment and merchandise to Playcenter
and arcade operators who have ceased operations or received lines of credit in
excess of amounts that could be repaid. Inventory was $234,866 at the end of the
Current Period which represents a decrease of $931,876 compared to the Prior
Period balance. The decrease was principally due to the Company's cash shortage
which prevented it from purchasing additional inventory for resale. In addition,
a provision was recorded for inventory obsolescence due to a write down of
inventory to the lower of its cost or market based on a normal gross profit
earned by the Company. Prepaid expenses decreased $25,675 principally as a
result of lower prepaid insurance premiums. The Company purchased $659,101 of
fixed assets during fiscal 1996 primarily for use on its Route Operations. Other
assets decreased $63,866 as of the Current Period due to the write off of
intangible assets such as Goodwill and Covenants not to Compete which the
Company no longer considers to have continuing value.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $1,613,300 principally as a
result of amounts owed to the former Officers of the Company who resigned in
July 1996 and increased amounts owed to trade vendors due to the Company cash
shortage. Notes payable of $638,023 represent short term financings on equipment
used on its Route Operations of which $30,671 will be repaid in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. During 1996, the Company repaid approximately $202,000
of notes payable. The capitalized lease obligation of $15,635 represents the
remaining balance if a $21,473 purchase of the phone system currently being
utilized at the Company's headquarters. Amounts due to former officer of $87,620
at June 30, 1996 represent loans advanced to the Company by a former Officer
which will be repaid from the proceeds of the Financing Agreement dated
September 30, 1996.
20
<PAGE>
In March 1996, the Company completed a private offering of 1,000,000 units, each
unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, one Class C Common Stock Purchase
Warrant and one Class D Common Stock Purchase Warrant, from which the Company
derived gross proceeds of $500,000. Each Class C Warrant and Class D Warrant
entitle the holder to purchase one share of common Stock at an exercise price of
$.70 and $.80, respectively. The principal purpose of the offering was to raise
working capital.
On September 30, 1996, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with three
financial institutions (the "Lender") pursuant to which the Lender agreed to
provide the Company with financing in the amount of $1,500,000. In exchange for
such financing the Company granted to the Lender, for nominal consideration,
warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for $100. In
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company will charge to operations and
credit to Additional Paid in Capital in an amount equal to the fair market value
of the stock at the date of issuance, September 30, 1996, approximately
$5,300,000. The Company paid a $15,000 processing fee agreed to certain
covenants such as prepayment penalties and agreed to register the underlying
shares pursuant to a pre-established time table. Shortly after the closing of
the Financing Agreement, the Lender exercised the warrants. Terms of the
Financing Agreement were a five year note, payable with interest only at 12%
annually for the first two years and principal and interest thereafter through
maturity.
On September 30, 1996, a Merger Agreement between Just Kiddie Rides, Inc. ("Just
Kiddie") and the Company was completed. The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, paid $250,000 cash and issued a note payable for $750,000 under
the same terms as the aforementioned Financing Agreement. Upon completion of the
merger, Just Kiddie's founder and president became a director, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Childrobics, Inc.
It is anticipated that the Company will not need additional financing for the
next twelve months due to the disposal of the unprofitable discontinued
operations which the Company anticipates will generate more than $800,000 in
cash sale proceeds, the closure of the unprofitable franchising operation, the
recent completion of the $1,500,000 Financing Agreement and the merger with the
profitable Just Kiddie Rides, Inc. which should generate positive cash flows for
the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders'
Childrobics, Inc.
Farmingdale, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Childrobics,
Inc. and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended June 30, 1996. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principals used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Childrobics, Inc. and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principals.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that Childrobics, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has
insufficient cash resources and negative working capital that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managment's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 21. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description of Business, Certain Considerations
relating to the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Childrobics, Inc. (the "Company"), is engaged in the children's recreation and
entertainment business. The Company operates several complementary businesses
which service the recreation and entertainment industry as a distributor of
amusements games, rides and redemption items, a manufacturer which designs and
assembles softplay structures, an operator of video and arcade games at non-
company owned facilities. Businesses in the United States serving the children's
market are characterized by intense and substantial direct competition. Although
the market is generally fragmented, certain of the companies with which the
Company competes are substantially larger and have substantially greater
resources, especially in marketing and sales, than the Company. It is also
likely that other competitors will emerge in the future. Through June 30, 1996
the Company also owned and operated indoor and indoor/outdoor recreation and
entertainment centers ("Playcenters") through its subsidiaries and was a
franchisor of Playcenters throughout the U.S. In the first quarter of fiscal
1997, the Company disposed of all of its recreational Playcenters and closed its
franchising operation. See Note 4.
The Company was incorporated in the State of New York on May 7, 1993 under the
name Child Playrobics, Inc. and changed its name to Childrobics, Inc. in 1994.
History of Losses, Working Capital Deficit and Need for Additional Capital
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company sustained net
losses of $9,873,996 and $1,366,220, respectively. Although the Company recorded
net income from operations prior to its initial public offering in June 1994,
since that time, as the Company commenced its expansion plans, the Company has
not achieved net income and has not generated positive cash flow. At June 30,
1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,531,397. The Company has
significant debts related to a liquidity crisis resulting from its losses from
operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The Company has been able to
continue its operations despite its lack of cash resources as a result of the
proceeds received by the Company from a Lender in the form of a $1,500,000 loan,
pursuant to a financing agreement. The Company's ability to continue its
operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, take
steps necessary to increase its cash flow, including the sale of certain assets
of the Company, merge with a profitable company and to continue to persuade its
trade creditors not to insist upon strict adherence to normal payment terms. The
Company cannot provide assurances that success of any or all of these factors
will be sufficient to make the Company's operations profitable or will generate
positive cash flows in the future.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all its subsidiaries through June 30, 1996. The Company owned approximately 51%
of
F-8
<PAGE>
CHILDROBICS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
two Florida companies, one of which also owns 100% of another Florida company.
In December 1995, the Company acquired an 80% interest in another Playcenter
located in Florida. In September 1995, the Company purchased approximately 51%
of a Playcenter in Staten Island, N.Y. All other subsidiaries are 100% owned by
the Company. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company disposed of all of its
recreational Playcenters and in the fourth quarter of 1996 closed its
franchising operation and accounted for these entities as discontinued
operations in its June 30, 1996 financial statements.
Note 1 - Description of Business, Certain Considerations relating to the
Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
All material intercompany sales and related profits have been eliminated.
Certain items in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified, primarily
due to discontinued operations, to conform to the 1996 presentation.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from credit sales to customers
principally in North America. It is the Company's policy not to require
collateral for credit sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses and,
therefore, it believes its exposure is limited by such allowances, however,
these assessments may change in the near term.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market on a first-in first-out
basis.
Property and Equipment
The cost of property and equipment is amortized over the estimated useful lives
of the respective assets using the straight-line method with a half year of
depreciation or amortization recorded in the year of acquisition and
disposition. Estimated useful lives were as follows:
Property 5 Years
Equipment 5-7 Years
Leaseholds Over the life of the applicable lease
Furniture and fixtures 5 Years
F-9
<PAGE>
CHILDROBICS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewal and
improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are added to the property
and equipment accounts.
Other Assets
Organization costs are amortized over five years.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax
laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax
expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change
during the period in deferred tax assets or liabilities.

Note 1 - Description of Business, Certain Considerations relating to the
Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Revenue
Recognition Sales of equipment and rides are recognized when shipped. Revenue
from video and arcade operations is recognized when earned. All sales are
denominated in U.S.
Dollars.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share for all periods have been presented based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding including shares subscribed. Stock options
and warrants have not been included since their effect would have been
anti-dilutive.
Stock Options and Similar Equity Instruments Issued to Employees The Company
uses the intrinsic value method to recognize cost in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board No. 25 (Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.)
Note 2 - Acquisitions
Explorations
In November 1994, the Company acquired approximately 51% of Explorations
Franchise Group, Inc.("EFG"), SJB Investments Corp ("SJB"), and SJB's 100% owned
subsidiary, Explorations Entertainment Group, Inc. ("EEG"), collectively known
as "Explorations". Explorations operates a Playcenter and franchises other
Playcenters on a national basis. Such majority interest was acquired for
$300,000 plus acquisition costs and the Company advanced an additional $300,000
in the form of non-interest bearing notes payable at acquisition date. In
December 1995, the Company acquired an 80% interest in another Playcenter for a
nominal consideration in Boynton Beach, Fl ("Boynton"). In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1996, the Company shut down EFG, and in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
signed a letter of intent to sell its majority interest in the remaining Florida
operations, SJB, EEG, and Boynton, to the management of Explorations.
Explorations is accounted for as a discontinued operation in fiscal 1996. See
Note 4.
Group Coin and Affiliates
In March 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Group
Coin, Replay Amusement Corp., Amusement Associates, Turnpike and Medford
Amusement Corp, now Kids Kingdom. The purchase price of the acquisition was paid
with $1,500,000 of cash, the issuance of 375,000 of common stock at $1.875 per
share and the assumption of $200,000 of liabilities related to the purchase of
Medford Amusement Corp. Included in the $1,500,000 of cash was $1,435,000 for
the acquisition of video, arcade and redemption equipment recorded as fixed

Long-term debt 39,266

For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables and payables and short-term debt, it was assumed that the carrying
amount approximated fair value because of the near term maturities of such
obligations. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which
the company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying
amount of long-term debt approximates fair value. It is not practicable to
calculate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments.

Company's June 1995 New York State Franchise Tax payment in the amount of $9,966
was returned by the State of New York due to an error by the State. The Company
may also be subject to certain fines and penalties with respect to such unpaid

Note 14 - Common Stock
In March 1994, the Company borrowed $500,000 in a bridge loan from four persons,
such loans were repaid at the closing of the Company's initial public offering
("IPO") on June 21, 1994. In further consideration of the bridge loan, the
Company issued 175,000 shares of common stock and 175,000 Class A warrants and
175,000 Class B warrants of the Company to such persons. The Class A Warrants
entitle the holder to purchase 1 share of common stock at $4.50 per share during
the four year period commencing one year from the effective date of the
offering, June 14, 1994. The Class B Warrants, which were not registered as part
of the offering, are identical to the Class A Warrants except the exercise price
is $9.00 per share.
In connection with the Company's IPO, the Company sold to the Underwriter, for
nominal consideration, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of
common stock which are exercisable through June 1998, at an exercise price of
$6.60 per unit.
On March 26, 1996, the Company completed a private offering of 1,000,000 units,
each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, one Class C Common Stock
Purchase Warrant and one Class D Common Stock Purchase Warrant, from which the
Company derived gross proceeds of $500,000. Each Class C Warrant and Class D
F-23
<PAGE>
CHILDROBICS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $.70 and $.90 per share, respectively. The principal purpose of the
offering was to raise working capital. The securities offered have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities
laws.
Note 15 - Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been made because of the Company's net loss
position. Income tax accounting standards require the establishment of a
deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences and operating loss
carryforwards. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately
$4,000,000. Due to operating losses the Company has also recorded a valuation
allowance in the amount of $4,000,000.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $11,800,000 of net operating
loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income expiring between
2009 and 2011. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the future
availability of such net operating tax loss carryforwards may be significantly
limited due to its merger with Just Kiddie Rides and certain provisions of its
Financing Agreement dated September 30, 1996.
Note 16 - Fourth Quarter Adjustments
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company charged to operations
approximately $1,728,500 related to Officer's compensation expense (see Note
13), approximately $653,300 related to uncollectible accounts receivable and
approximately $273,600 related to inventory obsolescence charges.
Note 17 - Major Customers

representing approximately 46% and 44% of total continuing sales in 1996 and
1995 and 40% of outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 1995. No amounts
were due as June 30, 1996 from this customer. The loss of this customer resulted
in a material adverse effect on the Company.
Note 18 - New Authoritative Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issue SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of". SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity, including goodwill, be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. As the Company's remaining
property and equipment relates to its profitable operations the Company does not
believe that SFAS No. 121 will have any material adverse effect on the Company's
financial statements.
The FASB has also issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation", in October 1995. SFAS No. 123 uses a fair value based method of
F-24
<PAGE>
CHILDROBICS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
recognition for stock options and similar equity instruments issued to employees
as contrasted to the intrinsic valued based method of accounting prescribed by
APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The recognition
requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for transactions entered into in
fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. The Company will continue to
apply Opinion No. 25 in recognizing its stock based employee arrangements. The
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial statements
beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company adopted the disclosure
requirements on July 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 also applies to transactions in which
an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from
non-employees. Those transactions must be accounted for based on the fair value
of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable. This requirement is effective for
transactions entered into after December 15, 1995.

subject to the Company meeting certain performance goals.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all of the assets of Just
Kiddie. This acquisition may potentially subject the Company to a number of
risks, including, but not limited to, diversion of management's attention,
adverse effects on the Company's operating results and hiring of additional
personnel and there can be no assurance that the Company can successfully
integrate Just Kiddie into the Company without substantial costs, delays or
other problems. There can be no assurance that the acquisition of Just Kiddie
will prove beneficial to the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Options Granted to New Directors
On July 13, 1996 the Company approved the following options:
(a) Each of Messrs. Gunther and Fox were granted options,
subject to shareholder approval, to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of
the Company, exercisable at $.10 per share, such options to vest in three
installments, 50,000 of which shall vest on the date of election to the Board
and the next two installments of 25,000 options to vest on the next two
anniversaries thereof, provided, however all such options shall immediately vest
under certain circumstances (The shares issuable upon exercise of such options
are also subject to restriction on sale without the consent of the Company for a
period of two years); and
(b) The Company agreed to grant to each of Messrs. Gunther and
Fox, at a later date, subject to shareholder approval, options to purchase an
additional 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $.10
per share, such options to vest in three installments, 50,000 of which shall
vest on the date of grant of such options and the next two installments of
25,000 options to vest on the next two anniversaries thereof, provided, however
all such options shall immediately vest under certain circumstances (The shares
issuable upon exercise of such options are also subject to restriction on sale
without the consent of the Company for a period of two years).
Note 21 - Going Concern
The Company has a working capital deficit of $2,541,347 as of June 30, 1996. The
Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1996, have been
prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets
and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon
its ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and financing
activities. The Company's working capital deficit raises substantial doubt about
the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's viable plans
include the following: (1) to generate additional financing through a $1,500,000
private placement of the Company's Common Stock, (2) to merge with Just Kiddie
Rides, Inc., a profitable privately held company in the same industry which will
complement and supplement the Company's continuing profitable operations, and
(3) to shut down or otherwise divest itself of unprofitable operations.
Management believes that these plans can be effectively implemented in the next
twelve months. There can be no assurances that management will be successful in
these endeavors. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the implementation and success of these plans. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result in the event the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
