On September 5, 2001, ZB Company, Inc. ("ZBCI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
The Right Start, Inc. (the "Company"), completed the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of Zany Brainy, Inc. and its affiliates
(collectively, "Zany"), including 187 retail stores in 34 states, through a sale
of assets and assignment of liabilities pursuant to sections 363 and 365 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Zany Acquisition"). As consideration, ZBCI agreed to
pay the following: $7.5 million in cash and 1.1 million shares of Common Stock
to the Zany estate for the benefit of the unsecured creditors (the cash portion
to be paid in three equal installments on December 15, 2001, February 15, 2002
and April 15, 2002); $65.8 million (excluding renewed letters of credit) to the

proceeds of a Loan and Security Agreement between Wells Fargo Retail Finance,
LLC and ZBCI, dated September 5, 2001 (the "ZB Credit Facility"); $4.2 million
