        Wynnefield Group has been concerned for some time with the failure of
        management, under the direction of the Company&#8217;s Board, to generate any
        long-term growth and build stockholder value. Over the past few years, as
        the
        most significant stockholder, we have had discussions with the Company in
        which
        we have requested representation on the Board, which requests have been
        consistently rebuffed by the Company. In November of 2005, we entered into
        an
        agreement with the Company which allowed one of our proposed Nominees, Frederick
        G. Wasserman, to attend and act as a non-voting observer at Board meetings
        and
        its committee meetings on behalf of the Wynnefield Group. The Wynnefield
        Group,
        through Mr. Wasserman and otherwise, has attempted to instill some new thinking
        with respect to a number of strategic and other matters as further discussed
        below. The Board and the Company&#8217;s management, however, remain non-responsive
        with respect to the expressed concerns of the Wynnefield Group. On June 28,
        2007, the Board terminated Mr.&#160;Wasserman&#8217;s observer status. In light of the
        Company&#8217;s continued sub-par&#160;revenue-generating performance, deteriorating
        stock price and the Board&#8217;s intransigence to change, we believe that at the
        present time it is in the interests of all of the stockholders that our Nominees
        be elected to the Board in order give you a voice and a vote. </font></div>

          systematically and organically grow the Company&#8217;s business. During fiscal year
          2006 and again in fiscal year 2007, the Company&#8217;s sales continue to shrink.
          Under the direction of the current Board, the Company has failed to develop
          significant new products that have been successful in the marketplace or
          to make
          any m<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">eaningful

          products, including making inroads with any major new customers. In fact,
          as the
          Company remains unable to capitalize on market opportunities, the Company&#8217;s
          sales performance continues to stagnate. Specifically, net sales, after
          falling
          by 13.4% from fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2006, continued their seven-year
          decline and fell once again in fiscal year 2007.&#160;<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Operating
          income has been essentially flat over the past four years ($7.4 million,

          million, $7.0 million and $7.9 million in fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006
          and
          2007, respectively) and has trended down over the last six months of fiscal

          2007 as compared to the comparable period in fiscal year
          2006.</font>&#160;&#160;In our opinion, the Board has failed to develop an
          appropriate business plan to reverse the continued decline in net sales
          and
          revitalize the Company&#8217;s moribund business performance. </font></div>

          the

          capital structure is not a panacea for poor operating performance and a
          stock
          price that has declined by roughly 35% over the past four months. Though
          the
          stock price responded positively to the Company&#8217;s financial restructuring,
          peaking at $6.10 on February 2, 2007, the stock has fallen significantly
          since
          then, and has traded in a narrow range around $4.00 for the past few months.

          Company currently faces a number of significant hurdles in its business.
          The
          infant consumer products industry remains highly competitive. The relative
          small
          size of the Company, in contrast to its larger, more heavily capitalized
          competitors, puts the Company in a significant disadvantage when competing
          with
          respect to customer shelf space. The Company has historically faced significant
          problems in terms of achieving market penetration, a situation which in
          our
          opinion the Company has not effectively addressed. The Company&#160;derives a
          large percentage of its revenues from a small number of customers and has
          been
          unable to&#160;successfully expand its customer base. In fiscal year 2007,
          Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Toy R Us, Inc. and Target Corporation accounted
          for 39%,
          23% and 16% of the Company&#8217;s gross sales, respectively. Such an unhealthy
          concentration of the top three customers representing 78% of gross sales
          obviously results in significant business risk. The Company acknowledges
          that a
          loss of one or more of these customers would result in a material decrease
          in
          revenue and operating income. In addition, the Company is heavily dependent
          on
          the sale of licensed products, which represented 39% of the Company&#8217;s gross
          sales in fiscal year 2007. The Company acknowledges that if it is unable
          to
          renew its major licenses or obtain new licenses, the Company could experience
          a
          material loss of revenue. </font></div>

          the past two years, while our Nominee, Mr. Wasserman, has served as a non-voting

          management that they adopt a repurchase program for the Company<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8217;</font>s common
          stock, as
          one&#160;way to increase the price of its shares. After the announcement of the
          recall program for the Company&#8217;s bibs in February, 2007, after the price of the
          common stock lost roughly 35% of its value, we again urged the Board to
          adopt a
          stock repurchase program, but to no avail. On June 29, 2007, shortly after
          receiving our letter confirming our intent to nominate our Nominees for
          election
          to the Board, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had
          formed a
          Capital Committee &#8220;authorized to cause&#8221; the Company to spend up to $6 million to
          repurchase its common stock between July 1, 2007 and July 1, 2008. </font></div>

            we
            are pleased that the Company has finally taken our advice and initiated
            steps to
            adopt a buy-back program which we have long championed, if we were cynical,
            we
            might suspect that the timing of the announcement had more to do with
            trying to
            defeat our nomination by currying favor with stockholders then the Board<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8217;</font>s
            sudden
            conversion to increasing stockholder value. Nonetheless, after ignoring
            our
            request to implement a stock buy-back program during the years prior
            to our
            nomination letter, now, with the Board's formation of the Capital Committee,
            we
            believe that our n<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">omination
            of Messrs. Obus and Wasserman </font>has already borne fruit. However, the
            Company&#8217;s action only &#8220;authorizes&#8221; the newly-created Capital Committee &#8220;to
            cause&#8221; the Company to repurchase some of its shares; it does not require the
            Capital Committee to take any action. Our Nominees, if elected, are committed
            to
            making sure that this is not a tactic which may never be executed and
            may be
            abandoned by the Board after the 2007 Annual Meeting,&#160;and to&#160;fully
            implementing the buy-back,&#160;together with other strategic plans we have
            recommended. </font></div>

            Wynnefield Group is also concerned about deficiencies in the Company&#8217;s corporate
            governance practices. We believe that the Company&#8217;s staggered Board structure
            serves only to entrench the existing directors and is not consistent
            with modern
            trends in corporate governance. Members of a staggered board&#160;may be less
            accountable to the stockholders of a corporation than directors who are
            elected
            on an annual basis since they only&#160;face re-election once every three years.
            We further believe that, for the same reason, having a staggered board
            serves to
            protect the interests of management&#160;rather than serving the interests of
            the stockholders. Leading independent stockholder advisory services have
            long
            debunked the rationale for staggered boards as preserving director continuity.
            We believe that modern governance thinking now recognizes staggered boards
            for
            what they are &#8212; an old style entrenchment technique protecting the incumbent
            board at the expense of stockholder democracy. The Company&#8217;s Board should be
            fully accountable to the stockholders of the Company, which accountability
            is
            best served by annual elections of a complete Board. Our Nominees will
            support
            annual elections of the entire Board and push for repeal of the staggered
            board
            in the Company&#8217;s charter.</font></div>

        are
        further troubled by the lack of transparency in the financial arrangements
        between certain members of the Company&#8217;s Compensation Committee and the
        Company&#8217;s executive officers. Steven E. Fox, a Company nominee for director to
        the Board and long-term director of the Company, is a member of the Board&#8217;s
        Compensation Committee, which is responsible, among other things, for
        determining the compensation of Mr. E. Randall Chestnut, the Company&#8217;s CEO. In
        turn, Mr. Chestnut has selected the Company&#8217;s outside counsel, which for years
        has been the law firm of Rogers &amp; Hardin, LLP, of which Mr. Fox is a
        partner. The governance policy of the Compensation Committee requires that
        its
        members be independent &#8212; neither officers nor inside directors &#8212; in order to
        avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of
        interest.</font></div>

          not
          disclosed in the Company&#8217;s proxy statement for the 2007 Annual Meeting. The
          Company simply discloses that the amount paid to Rogers &amp; Hardin for
          services rendered to the Company in fiscal year 2007 did not exceed 5%
          of Rogers
&amp; Hardin&#8217;s gross revenues during that time. Since the financials of Rogers
&amp; Hardin are not publicly available information, such disclosure is of
          limited value. While the actual legal fee</font>&#160;information may not
          technically be required by the SEC&#8217;s disclosure rules, the Wynnefield Group
          believes that, under the circumstances, for the sake of complete transparency
          given Mr.&#160;Fox&#8217;s role in fixing the CEO&#8217;s compensation, the amount of fees
          payable to the director&#8217;s law firm should be fully disclosed.</font></div>

        we are concerned that the Company has not publicly disclosed any succession
        plan
        that would address the possibility of the current CEO being unable to carry
        out
        any of his duties and obligations. We believe that it is consistent with
        prudent
        corporate practice for the Company to publicly disclose and implement a viable
        succession plan. Failure to do so, we believe, is evidence of the Board&#8217;s
        failure to fulfill its fiduciary duty to the stockholders. By creating a
        succession vacuum, the Board essentially prevents stockholders from challenging
        the actions of the CEO for fear that he would resign, leaving the Company
        leaderless.</font></div>

        covered thereby at any time prior to the time a vote is taken by:
        (i)&#160;filing with the Secretary of the Company a later dated written
        revocation; (ii)&#160;submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to
