Amounts in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 are condensed from the Company's audited balance sheet as of that date. All other condensed financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company, contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation. 2. The Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of $.10 par value common stock with 9,550,097 and 9,616,235 shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. On May 4, 2000 the Board of Directors authorized a $0.06 per share annual cash dividend which was paid on June 15, 2000 to holders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2000. During the period ended June 30, 2000, the Company purchased 162,200 shares of the Company's common stock on the open market.

The options, which expire in 2002 to 2010, had exercise prices ranging from 9 5/8 to 17 3/4 per share. The options were still outstanding on June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 1999, options to purchase 92,964 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average price of the common shares. The options, which expire in 2008 and 2009 had exercise prices ranging from 15 6/16 to 17 3/4 per share. The options were still outstanding June 30, 2000. 4. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 5. During the first six months of 2000 and 1999, the Company did not borrow against its unsecured line of credit totaling $10,000,000 available from a bank. 6. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (Revenue Recognition and Financial Statements) which will be required to be implemented by the Company no later that the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of these new standards will have on the it's consolidated financial statements. Page 5 8 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Statements in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not strictly historical are "forward looking" statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words: believe, expect, anticipate, intend, are confident, estimate and similar expressions which by their nature refer to future events. Actual future results may differ materially from those anticipated depending on a variety of factors which include but are not limited to continued growth in sales of The First Years Brand and a slowing in the decline or increase in the sale of licensed products, continued success of market research identifying new product opportunities, successful introduction of new products, continued product innovation, growth in international sales, ability to attract and retain key personnel and growth in sales and earnings. Information with respect to risk factors are contained in Exhibit 99 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undo reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained in this press release. Net sales for the first six months of 2000 were $71.0 million, a decrease of $0.8 million or 1.1%, as compared to $71.8 million for the comparable period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the continued decline in the sale of licensed products which was partially offset by increased demand for First Years brand products over the corresponding six month period of 1999. As a percentage of sales, sales of First Years brand products increased to 65.6% in the first six months of 2000 from 59.4% in the first six months of 1999. Net sales to foreign markets increased slightly to 12.3% in the first six months of 2000 from 11.8% in the comparable period last year. The increase reflects sales growth achieved primarily in the Canadian markets which were countered by weakened distribution in Europe. Cost of products sold for the first six months of 2000 was $41.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million or 1.2%, as compared to $42.3 million for the comparable period last year. As a percentage of sales, cost of products sold remained constant at 58.9% in the first six months of 2000 as compared to the corresponding period of 1999 due to normal business fluctuations. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2000 were $20.6 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 1.0%, as compared to $20.4 million of related expenses for the first six months of 1999. The increase resulted primarily from costs related to increased freight and payroll and payroll related costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2000 increased to 29.1% from 28.4% in the comparable period of 1999. Page 6 9 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Con't) Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income decreased to 40% in the first six months of 2000 as compared to 40.5% for the first six months of 1999. Net working capital increased by $3.8 million in the first six months of 2000 to $46.8 million at June 30, 2000 from $43.0 million at December 31, 1999 mainly due to profitable operations. Accounts receivable increased by $4.4 million and inventories decreased by $2.3 due to normal business fluctuations during the first six months of 2000. Cash increased slightly to $13.7 million at June 30, 2000 primarily due to profitable operations which were partially offset by fluctuations in accounts receivable and inventories. An unsecured bank line of credit of $10.0 million is subject to annual renewal. Amounts outstanding under this line are payable upon demand by the bank. During the first six months of 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred no borrowings under the line and had no balances outstanding as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company did not incur any other short-term borrowings during the first six months of 2000 and 1999. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (Revenue Recognition and Financial Statements) which will be required to be implemented by the Company no later that the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of these new standards will have on the it's consolidated financial statements. YEAR 2000 Issue The "Year 2000 Issue" (Y2K) related to potential problems resulting from the incorrect processing of information using dates or date sensitive data by computers and other machines utilizing embedded microprocessors. The problem is attributable to the computer or software recognizing the year as a two digit number "00" as opposed to the Year "2000". The Company was adequately prepared for Y2K and did not experience any meaningful disruptions related to the Company's information technology (IT) and non-IT systems. Additionally, the Company did not encounter any disruptions in service or communications with its mission critical service vendors, suppliers of products, logistics vendors or it's customers.
