Exhibit 20.3

      UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements
combine the historical statements of operations of Zany and Noodle, referred to
in this section as the combined company, after giving effect to the merger, as
if the merger had occurred on February 2, 1997, and the historical balance
sheet of the combined company as if the merger had occurred on January 29, 2000
and April 29, 2000, in each case using the "pooling of interests" method of
accounting. The following unaudited pro forma information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of each of Zany and
Noodle.

   The pro forma amounts are presented for informational purposes only and are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations of the combined company
that would have actually occurred had the merger been consummated as of
February 2, 1997 or of the financial condition of the combined company had the
merger been consummated as of January 29, 2000 or April 29, 2000 or of the
future results of operations or financial condition of the combined company.
The pro forma information does not reflect any synergies anticipated as a
result of the merger, in particular the elimination of costs associated with
Noodle's status as a public company and other administrative savings. There can
be no assurances that such synergies will be realized.

   Zany and Noodle estimate that they will incur direct transaction costs of
approximately $3.0 million, net of tax, associated with the merger, which will
be charged to operations in the quarter in which the merger is consummated, and
are reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated
financial statements. In addition, it is expected that following the merger,
the combined company will incur additional expenses, which are currently
estimated to range from $10.0 to $13.0 million, net of tax, associated with the
merger and integrating the operations of the two companies. These merger and
integration expenses are not reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma
combined consolidated financial statements.
