ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

     On June 23, 1997, Koala Corporation (the "Company"), acquired all of the
assets of Delta Play Ltd., a British Columbia corporation ("Delta") and Safeplay
Designs Inc., a British Columbia corporation ("Safeplay") for the aggregate
purchase price of $4,717,000, consisting of cash in the amount of $4,117,000 and
$600,000 in the form of 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which was
valued at the Nasdaq closing price on June 20, 1997.  The Company funded the
cash portion of the purchase price from working capital.

     Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Delta and Safeplay
manufactured custom indoor and outdoor modular play equipment.  Their customer
base included family entertainment centers, quick service restaurants, shopping
centers and theme parks.  The assets acquired by the Company from Delta and
Safeplay included net working capital, fixed assets, intellectual property and
molds.

     In connection with this transaction, the Company formed two subsidiary
companies into which the purchased assets were transferred.  The Company and its
subsidiaries will continue to use the purchased assets to design, manufacture,
and market modular play equipment.

     The purchase price and terms were negotiated on an arms length basis with 
Delta and Safeplay.  No principal of Delta or Safeplay had a relationship with 
the Company prior to the transaction.
