PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Prospective investors should read this Prospectus carefully before making
any investment decision regarding the Company, and should pay particular
attention to the information contained in this Prospectus under the heading
"Risk Factors" and in the financial statements and related notes appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus. In addition, prospective investors should consult
their own advisors in order to understand fully the consequences of an
investment in the Company. Unless indicated otherwise, the information contained
herein gives effect to a one for five reverse split of the Company's issued and
outstanding Common Stock that was completed in September 1997 (the "Reverse
Stock Split"). The following summary does not purport to be complete and is
qualified by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus.
THE COMPANY
Dynamic International, Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("DIL"), is engaged in
the design, marketing and sale of a diverse line of hand exercise and light
exercise equipment, including hand grips, running weights, jump ropes and
aerobic steps and slides. It markets these products under the licensed
trademarks SPALDING(R) and KATHY IRELAND(R) as well as under its own trademarked
name SHAPE SHOP(R). In addition, it designs and markets sports bags and luggage,
which are marketed primarily under the licensed name JEEP(R) and under its own
names PROTECH and SPORTS GEAR(R). The Company's objective is to become a
designer and marketer of goods that are associated with a free-spirited
lifestyle and leisure time.
The Company is the successor to Dynamic Classics, Ltd., a Delaware
corporation, incorporated in 1986 ("DCL," together with DIL, the "Company"),
which was the successor to a New York company incorporated in 1964. In August
1996, DCL merged with and into DIL, which had been newly formed for the purpose
of this merger. The objective of the merger was to change the Company's state of
incorporation from Delaware to Nevada.
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
In 1994, the Company added a new line of products consisting primarily of
treadmills and ski machines. Initially, the Company was successful in marketing
these products. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, sales of these
products represented approximately 53% of the Company's gross sales. However,
due to serious manufacturing defects and poor construction of the Company's
products delivered by the Company's manufacturers, primarily located in the
People's Republic of China, the Company was forced to allow substantial charge
backs by its customers. Although, pursuant to a written agreement, one of the
manufacturers, China National Metals and Minerals ("CNM"), acknowledged the
defects and agreed to pay for returns and to provide replacement goods at no
cost, it breached this agreement soon thereafter. In March 1995, CNM sued the
Company for monetary damages alleging, among other things, breach of contract.
The Company and CNM subsequently settled the matter by releasing each other from
any claims and allowing CNM to collect an aggregate of $15,000 from the Company.
The Company suffered severe losses from its venture into this line of business
and in August 1995 filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (the "Bankruptcy Code").
In May 1996, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan of reorganization
pursuant to which creditors received partial satisfaction of their claims. MG
Holdings Corp. ("MG Holdings"), which had purchased a promissory note from the
Company's principal lender, received 2,976,000 shares of Common Stock in full
satisfaction of the promissory note. The number of shares issued to MG Holdings
represented 93% of the issued and outstanding shares. As a result, MG Holdings
acquired absolute control over the Company's affairs. MG Holdings is
wholly-owned by Marton Grossman, the Company's Chairman and President. See
"Principal Stockholders" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
In addition, as part of the plan of reorganization, the Company, then known as
DCL, merged into DIL, a newly formed Nevada corporation, for the purpose of
changing its state of incorporation. See "Business--Plan of Reorganization" and
"--Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

RISK FACTORS
The purchase of the Securities offered hereby involves a high degree of
risk, including, but not necessarily limited to, the risks described below.
Before subscribing for the Securities offered hereby, each prospective investor
should consider carefully the general investment risks enumerated elsewhere in
this Prospectus and the following risk factors, as well as the other information
contained in this Prospectus.
EMERGENCE FROM BANKRUPTCY. In August 1995, the Company filed a voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In May 1996, the
Bankruptcy Court approved a plan of reorganization pursuant to which creditors
received partial satisfaction of their claims. The Company believes that the
losses that led to the bankruptcy proceedings were caused by the manufacturing
defects and poor construction of treadmills and rowing machines delivered to the
Company by its manufacturers. As a result, the Company has abandoned the sale of
these products. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Company has
accurately identified the precise source of its financial problems and that it
has sufficiently addressed such problems. Any failure by the Company to
adequately deal with its financial difficulties may lead to new problems that,
as in the past, may have a material adverse impact on the condition and
prospects of the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to fully recover from the bankruptcy proceedings and regain
acceptance as a reputable company. Further, the Company's bankruptcy proceedings
may hamper its ability to establish new relationships with commercial lenders
and, as a result, complicate its efforts to obtain financings. See
"Business--Plan of Reorganization."
SHIFTING CONSUMER PREFERENCES. The market for exercise and luggage
products is impacted by short-term trends. Therefore, the business of designing,
manufacturing and marketing such products is highly susceptible to fast changing
consumer preferences. The Company's sports bag/luggage business is greatly
affected by demographic trends, frequent shifts in prevailing fashions and
styles and retailer practices. The Company's success in this area is dependent
on its ability to quickly and effectively initiate and/or respond to changes in
market trends and other consumer preferences. The ongoing competitive nature of
the luggage industry presents a continuous risk that new products may emerge and
compete with the Company's existing sports bags/luggage products.
Similarly, the success of the Company's exercise products is mostly a
product of the perceived needs by consumers to improve their health and fitness.
In addition, the type of exercise equipment used by consumers may vary from time
to time based on which part of the body is perceived by consumers to require the
most exercise and how such consumers believe they may attain maximum results
from their efforts to stay fit. Therefore, the Company's ability to market its
exercise equipment will be dependent on its ability to anticipate consumers'
perceived fitness needs.
DEPENDENCE ON AFFILIATED PARTIES. Pursuant to an unwritten understanding,
Achim Importing Co. ("Achim") arranges for the issuance by its financial lender
of letters of credit in favor of the Company's overseas suppliers thereby
enabling the Company to finance the purchases of its inventory. Also, from time
to time, when taking deliveries from domestic suppliers, Achim purchases
products from the manufacturer and resells them to the Company in order to
accommodate Achim's commercial lenders who often require a security interest in
the merchandise until it has been sold and the lender has been repaid. The
Company pays Achim for the amount actually paid to the supplier (including any
applicable discounts) without markup, reimburses Achim for its bank charges and
pays it interest at the prime rate plus one percent on the unpaid balance of the
purchases. As of April 30, 1997, the Company owed an amount of $2,590,360 in
principal and interest under this arrangement. As of September 30, 1997, this
sum had decreased to $1,440,476. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions." The weighted average interest rate paid by the Company to Achim
at September 30, 1997, April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996 was 9.37%, 9.25% and
11.5%, respectively. Achim is wholly owned by Mr. Marton Grossman, the Company's
Chairman and President. If Achim were to terminate this arrangement for any
reason, the Company would be forced to arrange for its own commercial financing
which would likely result in higher interest rates, fees and other charges, and
which would therefore have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Company to purchase inventory and finance its operations.
In addition, all of the Company's assets are subject to a lien in favor of
MG Holdings, an entity that is wholly owned by Mr. Grossman, to secure repayment
of a promissory note in the principal amount of approximately
7
<PAGE> 11
$1,200,000. This sum represents debtor in possession financing advanced by MG
Holdings pursuant to an order by the Bankruptcy Court.
Also, the Company is party to an agreement pursuant to which Achim assists
the Company in the performance of a great number of administrative functions,
including, among other things, the maintenance of financial and accounting books
and records, the preparation of monthly financial accounts receivable aging
schedules and other reports and the performance of credit checks on the
Company's customers. In consideration for these services, Achim receives an
annual fee, payable monthly, calculated as a percentage of the Company's
invoiced sales originating at the warehouse ranging from 4% of invoiced sales
under $30 million to 3% for sales of $60 million or more. For sales not
originating at the warehouse, Achim receives a service fee in the amount of 1.5%
of the Company's invoiced sales to customers and accounts located in the United
States if payment is made by letter of credit and 1% if such customers and
accounts are located outside the United States, irrespective of manner of
payment. Achim also provides warehousing services consisting of receiving,
shipping and storing of the Company's merchandise. The Company pays a monthly
fee of 3% of the Company's invoiced sales originating at the warehouse in
connection with the warehousing services performed by Achim under this
agreement. Achim's business is unrelated to the Company's business, and it does
not render to any other entity services similar in nature to the services
performed for the Company.
Further, the Company's offices and warehouse are made available to it on a
rent-free at will basis by Achim which leases the property from Sym Holding, an
entity controlled by Isaac Grossman, the Company's Vice Chairman, Treasurer and
Secretary. See "Business - Management Agreement with Achim Importing Co.," -
Properties" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS. The Company's revenues are
substantially dependent on its sports bag/luggage products. The marketing
success of those products depends, among other things, upon rapidly changing
consumer acceptance, which is difficult to predict and over which the Company
has little, if any, control. In addition, the upscale market for sports
bags/luggage products is dominated by name brands and fashion designers with
wide name recognition and consumer acceptance. As a result, the Company's
ability to market its products and effectively compete is mostly dependent on
its ability to anticipate consumer preferences and design luggage products that
will appeal to its customers. Although the Company believes that it has the
ability and experience to recognize potentially valuable products and to gauge
trends in the sports bags/luggage business, no assurance can be given that the
Company will at all times be able to make accurate predictions as to the
preference of its customers.
RELIANCE ON LICENSES. The market for exercise equipment is dominated by a
number of well known name brands. Although the Company believes that its
licenses with respect to the trademarks SPALDING and KATHY IRELAND provide it
with some of the most prominent names in exercise equipment, the Company's
success in marketing its exercise products will be greatly dependent on its
continuing right to use these trademarks as well as its ability to secure
additional licenses. Any interruption in the Company's rights to use certain
trademarks, including SPALDING and KATHY IRELAND, may have a materially adverse
impact on the Company's revenues. See "Business--Intellectual Property--License
Agreements."
DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN SUPPLIERS. Approximately 75% of the Company's
products are manufactured overseas, notably in the Far East. The Company's
arrangements with foreign suppliers are subject to the risks of doing business
abroad, including currency fluctuations and revaluations, restrictions on the
transfer of funds and, in certain parts of the world, political instability,
changes in import duties and quotas, disruptions or delays in shipments and
transportation and labor disputes. The Company is also exposed to risks
associated with changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment
in countries where it acquires inventory and, to a lesser extent, changes in
U.S. laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment. While the
Company believes that alternative sources of supply are available, any serious
disruptions could materially impair the Company's ability to deliver exercise
and sports bag/luggage products in a timely manner. See "Business--Products."
SEASONALITY. The Company's business is highly seasonal with higher sales
typically in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year as a result of
shipments of exercise equipment and sports bag/luggage related to the holiday
8
<PAGE> 12
season. Although the Company does not believe that the effects of seasonality
have had a material impact on the Company to date, seasonality of the business
requires advance planning and other special preparations to fully benefit from a
short period during which most of the Company's revenues are generated. If the
Company fails to generate sufficient revenues during this period, this may have
a material adverse impact on the Company's business. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations."
POTENTIAL NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING. The Company anticipates that the
proceeds from this offering together with the projected cash flows from
operations and the availability of the Achim credit line will be sufficient to
fund its contemplated cash requirements for the twelve months following the
consummation of this offering. Nevertheless, significant additional funding may
be required following this offering in order for the Company to further expand
the marketing of its products. Therefore, the Company will likely be required to
raise additional funds through alternative financing methods. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding when
needed, or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms
acceptable to the Company.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The success of the Company depends in part
upon the successful performance of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, who is 66 years old, for the continued marketing and operation of the
Company. The Company does not have an employment agreement with Mr. Grossman,
who spends approximately 20% of his time working for the Company. Although the
Company has employed, and will likely employ in the future, additional qualified
employees, if Mr. Marton Grossman fails to perform his duties for any reason,
the ability of the Company to market, operate and support its products may be
adversely affected. The Company is currently investigating the possibility of
obtaining key-man life insurance on the life of Mr. Grossman. See "Management."
COMPETITION. Although the Company believes that the products it sells are
unique in several ways, there are other companies that have similar products,
many of which companies have substantially greater financial and other resources
than the Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that there are no products
that would compete effectively with the Company's proposed products or that
other companies, many of which have financial resources, marketing staffs and
facilities greater than those of the Company, are not currently developing, or
in the future will not develop, products that may have advantages over the
Company's proposed products or that may undercut what the Company believes are
the advantages of the Company's products. See "Business - Competition."
DEPENDENCE ON PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS. For the year ended April 30, 1997,
K-Mart and Service Merchandise accounted for approximately 25% and 13%,
respectively, of the Company's sales. Although the Company intends to diversify
its customer base in the future, any significant decline in sales to the
Company's principal customers could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company has no written agreements with any of its customers.
See "Business."
NEED TO INCREASE MARKETING CAPABILITY. In order to achieve continued
growth following the offering, the Company will need to expand its marketing and
sales and develop a network of marketing and sales representatives. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to build such a marketing staff or
sales force, that the cost of establishing such a marketing staff or sales force
will not exceed any product revenues, or that the Company's direct sales and
marketing efforts will be successful. Alternatively, the Company may enter into
co-marketing or other licensing arrangements. To enter into co-marketing or
other licensing arrangements, the Company must establish and maintain corporate
relationships. There can be no assurance that such corporate relationships can
be established or maintained on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. To
the extent the Company enters into co-marketing or other licensing arrangements,
any revenues received by the Company will be dependent on the efforts of third
parties, and there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful.
Although the Company believes that future corporate partners, if any, will have
an economic motivation to commercialize any such products, the Company may not
have any direct control over such partners' commercialization efforts. Neither
Achim nor any party related to Messrs. Marton and Isaac Grossman presently
intends to provide marketing services to the Company. See "Business."

<PAGE> 13
LIMITED LIABILITY INSURANCE. The marketing and sale of the Company's
products entails a risk of product liability claims and claims of omission by
consumers and others. The Company has a general policy of disclaiming liability
arising from its products. The Company also maintains liability insurance which
provides for coverage of up to $10,000,000 per occurrence. Nevertheless, in the
event of a successful liability claim against the Company, there can be no
assurance that the current insurance coverage will be adequate. Any successful
liability claim that exceeds the Company's insurance coverage could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
DILUTION; CHEAP STOCK. Purchasers of the Units offered hereby will
experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of
shares of Common Stock (including the shares underlying the Warrants) included
in the Units in that the net tangible book value of such shares will be
substantially less than the offering price per share of such shares.
Specifically, the investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution
of $3.91 per share of Common Stock, or approximately 78% of the $5.00 offering
price. In addition, since the current stockholders of the Company have acquired
their respective equity interests at a cost substantially below the offering
price, the public investors will bear most of the risk of loss. See "Dilution."
BENEFIT OF THE OFFERING TO AFFILIATES. An aggregate of $1,200,000, or
approximately 24% of the net proceeds of this offering, will be used to repay a
loan provided by MG Holdings, an entity that is wholly owned by the Company's
Chairman and President. As a result, the amount available for expansion of the
Company's business has been reduced to a certain extent. See "Use of Proceeds"
and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
VOTING CONTROL; POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT. After the completion of
this offering, the Company's current principal stockholders and the executive
officers and directors of the Company will beneficially own approximately 68% of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock and, accordingly, will be able to
continue to elect all of the directors and, therefore, to absolutely control the
Company's affairs. As a result of the absolute control exercisable by current
management, potential takeover bids for the Company may be deterred. This may
have a depressive effect on the price of the Securities offered hereby. In
addition, the Company has agreed to issue to its Chairman and President an
additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock over a three year period if the
Company meets certain earnings criteria. See "Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management" and "Management."
NO PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid any dividends on its
Common Stock. For the foreseeable future, the Company anticipates that earnings,
if any, that may be generated from the Company's operations will be used to
finance the growth of the Company and that cash dividends will not be paid to
holders of the Common Stock. See "Description of Securities."
ARBITRARY DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE AND WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE. The
offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the Warrants have been
arbitrarily determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter
and do not necessarily bear any relationship to the assets, book value,
operating or financial results or net worth of the Company or other generally
accepted criteria of value and should not be considered as indicating any
intrinsic value for the Securities. See "Underwriting."
NO ASSURANCE OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE UNITS, COMMON STOCK OR WARRANTS.
Prior to the Company's filing for protection under the Bankruptcy Code, the
Company's securities were traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq").
However, immediately prior to this offering, there was no active public market
for the Units, Common Stock or Warrants, and there can be no assurance that such
markets will develop or, if developed, will be sustained after completion of
this offering. While the Underwriter has informed the Company that it will
endeavor to make a market in the Units and, after the Separation Date, the
Common Stock and Warrants, there can be no assurance that a trading market will
develop or be sustained or that the securities offered hereby will be saleable
at or near their offering price. In the event the Underwriter, for any reason,
ceases making a market in the Company's securities, the trading market in the
Company's securities will likely be materially adversely affected. See
"Underwriting."
The Company has been advised by the Underwriter that it has made
application to initiate quotation of the Securities in the OTC Bulletin Board
Service. Currently, no active public market exists for the Units, Common Stock
10
<PAGE> 14
or Warrants. There can be no assurance that an active public market will develop
after the completion of this offering. In addition, it may be difficult to
obtain adequate quotations with respect to securities quoted on the Bulletin
Board. Lack of information often has a negative impact on the liquidity of
securities. As a result, investors may be limited in their ability to dispose of
the Units, the Common Stock or the Warrants.
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS SUBJECT TO CURRENT EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION AND
QUALIFICATION. Any exercise of the Warrants must be made pursuant to a
prospectus which is current at the time of exercise. The Company has agreed to
use its best efforts to maintain a current effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to
the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. If the Company is
unable to maintain a current registration statement for any reason, the Warrants
may not be exercised. Although the Securities offered hereby will not knowingly
be sold to purchasers in jurisdictions in which they are not registered or
otherwise qualified for sale, purchasers may buy Warrants in the aftermarket
which may develop for the Warrants in, or purchasers of the Warrants may move
to, jurisdictions in which the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants
are not registered or qualified during the period when the Warrants are
exercisable. In such event, the Company would be unable to issue shares to those
persons desiring to exercise their Warrants unless and until the shares could be
registered or qualified for sale in jurisdictions in which such purchasers
reside, or an exemption to such qualification exists in such jurisdictions. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to effect any required
registration or qualifications. See "Description of Securities - Warrants."
POSSIBLE DEPRESSIVE EFFECT OF RULE 144 SALES. Approximately 2,976,000
shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be "restricted securities" under Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, such shares may be
publicly sold immediately, subject to volume restrictions (i.e. during any three
month period an amount equal to the greater of the average weekly trading volume
for the four weeks preceding the date of sale or 1% of the then outstanding
shares). Any such sales could have a depressive effect on the market price for
the Securities being offered hereby. Approximately 93% of the currently issued
and outstanding shares are owned by a series of trusts for the benefit of
relatives of Marton Grossman. Isaac and Sheila Grossman are among the trustees
of these trusts. Although no lockup agreements are in effect with respect to any
of such shares of Common Stock, the Company has been advised that there is no
current intent to resell any of such securities. See "Description of Securities
- - Shares Available for Future Sale" and "Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management."
Investors should be aware that sales of the Company's Common Stock
pursuant to options and warrants may have a depressive effect on the price of
the Common Stock and the Warrants, and that the issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of options, warrants, the Warrants and the
Warrants included in the Units underlying the Underwriter's Warrants will also
dilute the proportionate ownership of the then current stockholders of the
Company. See "Description of Securities--Warrants."
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF ADDITIONAL SHARES WITHOUT
STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. After this offering, the Company will have a large number
of shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued and reserved for issuance
pursuant to (i) exercise of the Warrants being offered hereby, (ii) exercise by
the Underwriter of the Underwriter's Warrants and the exercise of the Warrants
included in the Units underlying the Underwriter's Warrants (the Underwriter's
Warrants, including the underlying Units, the Common Stock and the Warrants
included therein are collectively sometimes referred to herein as the
"Underwriter's Securities"), and (iii) an agreement to issue an aggregate of
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the Company's Chairman and President over a
three-year period, provided the Company meets certain earnings criteria. All of
such shares and any additional shares may be issued without any action or
approval by the Company's stockholders. Although, other than as set forth in the
previous sentence, there are no present plans, agreements, commitments or
undertakings with respect to the issuance of additional shares, or securities
convertible into any such shares by the Company, any additional shares issued
would further dilute the percentage ownership of the Company held by the public
stockholders and would likely have an adverse impact on the market price of the
Common Stock. See "Description of Securities."
In addition, the Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock of which, as of the date hereof, none are outstanding. Shares of
Preferred Stock are issuable at any time and from time to time, by action of the
11
<PAGE> 15
Board of Directors without further authorization from the Company's
stockholders, except as otherwise required by applicable law or rules and
regulations to which the Company may be subject, to such persons and for such
consideration as the Board of Directors determines. The issuance of preferred
stock by the Board of Directors could adversely affect the rights of the holders
of Common Stock. For example, such issuance could result in a class of
securities outstanding that would have preferences with respect to voting rights
and dividends and in liquidation over the Common Stock, and could (upon
conversion or otherwise) enjoy all of the rights appurtenant to Common Stock.
The authority possessed by the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could
potentially be used to discourage attempts by others to obtain control of the
Company through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making
such attempts more difficult or more costly to achieve. There are no agreements
or understandings regarding the issuance of preferred stock.
UNDERWRITER'S WARRANTS. In connection with this offering, the Company will
sell to the Underwriter for a nominal amount, warrants to purchase up to 120,000
Units. The Underwriter's Warrants will be exercisable commencing one year after
the effective date of this Prospectus and will continue to be exercisable until
five years from the date hereof at an exercise price of $8.25 per Unit, with the
Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants underlying the Units included in the
Underwriter's Warrants allowing the purchase of Common Stock at $9.90 and $16.50
per share, respectively. As long as the Underwriter's Warrants are outstanding,
the terms on which the Company could obtain additional capital may be adversely
affected because the holder of the Underwriter's Warrants might be expected to
exercise them if the Company were able to obtain any needed additional capital
in a new offering of securities at a price greater than the exercise price of
the Underwriter's Warrants. See "Underwriting."
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS. The Class A Warrants
and the Class B Warrants are redeemable by the Company at $.01 per Warrant on
thirty day's prior written notice at any time provided that the average closing
bid price for the Common Stock is no less than $9.00 per share with respect to
the Class A Warrants and $15.00 with respect to the Class B Warrants for any ten
trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days as reported on the
principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded. Notice of redemption of
the Warrants could force the Warrant holders to exercise the Warrants at a time
when it might be disadvantageous for the holders to do so or to sell the
Warrants at their then current market price when the holders might otherwise
wish to hold the Warrants for possible appreciation. Alternatively, the holders
may accept the redemption price, when it is likely to be substantially less than
the market value of the Warrants at the time of redemption. Any holders who do
not exercise Warrants prior to their expiration or redemption, as the case may
be, will forfeit the right to purchase the shares of Common Stock underlying the
Warrants. While the Company may legally be permitted to give notice to redeem
the Warrants at a time when a current prospectus is not available thereby
leaving the Warrant holders no opportunity to exercise their Warrants prior to
redemption, the Company does not intend to redeem the Warrants unless a current
prospectus is available at the time of the redemption. See "Description of
Securities - Warrants."
UNDERWRITER'S INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET. A significant amount of the
Securities offered hereby will be sold to customers of the Underwriter. Such
customers subsequently may engage in transactions for the sale or purchase of
such Securities through or with the Underwriter. Although it has no legal
obligation to do so, the Underwriter has indicated that it intends to act as a
market-maker and otherwise effect transactions in the Securities offered hereby.
To the extent the Underwriter acts as a market-maker in the Common Stock or
Warrants, it may be a dominating influence in those markets. The degree of
participation in those markets by the Underwriter may significantly effect the
price and liquidity of the Securities. The Underwriter may discontinue such
activities at any time or from time to time. Moreover, pursuant to Regulation M,
if the Underwriter solicits exercise of any of the Warrants, including the
Underwriter's Warrants, it will be unable to act as a market-maker with respect
to the Securities for a period of two or nine business days prior to any
solicitation by it of the exercise of any of the Warrants, including the
Underwriter's Warrants, until the termination of such activity. Accordingly, the
Underwriter will not be able to act as a market-maker during certain periods
and, as a result, holders of the Company's Securities may find it more difficult
to sell their holdings. Also, the same restriction may arise if the Underwriter
becomes involved in a distribution of any of the currently restricted
securities.

<PAGE> 16
PENNY STOCK REGULATION. Broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on
the Nasdaq system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole
market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's
presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition,
broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors (generally, those persons with assets in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together
with their spouse), the broker-dealer must make a special written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if
any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny
stock rules. If the Securities become subject to the penny stock rules,
investors in this offering may find it more difficult to sell their shares
and/or Warrants.
POSSIBLE NON-RENEWAL OF LICENSE AGREEMENTS. The Company is party to two
separate agreements with Spalding & Evenflo Companies Inc. pursuant to which the
Company has the right to use the name SPALDING in connection with the sale and
distribution of a number of products, including small handheld exercise
equipment and large exercise machines. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997,
sales of these products represented approximately 6% of the Company's total
revenues. The two agreements expired in September 1997. The Company is currently
negotiating a renewal of the agreement that relates to the small handheld
equipment. In the event that this agreement is not renewed, the Company's
revenues will likely be reduced by approximately 6%. See "Business-Intellectual
Property."
DILUTION
At July 31, 1997, the Company had a net tangible book value deficit of
$(131,753) or $(.04) per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per
share represents the amount of total tangible assets less liabilities, divided
by 3,198,258, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. After giving
effect to the sale of the 1,200,000 Units hereby, the pro forma net tangible
book value at July 31, 1997, would have been $4,788,247 or $1.09 per share of
Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible
book value of $1.13 per share to the existing stockholders and an immediate
dilution of $3.91 per share to investors in this offering. The following table
illustrates this per share dilution:

issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants; (iii) up to 240,000

of Common Stock (including 360,000 shares of Common Stock underlying
warrants) issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment
option; and (v) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to Mr. Grossman,
the Company's Chairman and President, provided the Company meets certain
earnings criteria over a three year period.
Pursuant to a Bonus Agreement, the Company will issue to Mr. Grossman, the
Company's Chairman and President, an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common
Stock provided the Company meets certain earnings criteria over a three year
period. See "Management." Giving effect to the issuance of such 2,000,000 shares
as of July 31, 1997, and the attainment by the Company of the earnings criteria
required for the issuance of these shares, the pro forma net tangible book value
would have been approximately $1,668,247 or $.32 per share. After giving effect
to the sale of the 1,200,000 Units hereby, the pro forma net tangible book value
at July 31, 1997, would have been approximately $6,588,247 or $1.03 per share of
Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible
book value of $.71 per share to the existing stockholders and an immediate
dilution of $3.97 per share to investors in this offering. The following table
illustrates this per share dilution:

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of this offering, after deducting discounts and
commissions, the Underwriter's expense allowance and expenses of this offering,
will be approximately $4,920,000 ($5,683,000 if the over-allotment option is
exercised in full). The Company intends to use such net proceeds as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Amount of Percentage of

<S> <C> <C>
Purchase of Inventory $2,100,000 43%

Working Capital $ 320,000 7%
</TABLE>
(1) The entire amount will be paid to MG Holdings, which is wholly owned
by Marton Grossman, the Company's Chairman and President, in full repayment of a
loan, evidenced by a promissory note, made during the Company's Chapter 11
proceedings. The note accrues interest at the Citibank Prime Rate plus one
percent. The weighted average interest rate at April 30, 1997, and as of the
date hereof was 9.25% and 9.35%, respectively. As of April 30, 1997 the Company
had accrued interest in the amount of $37,219 in connection with this loan. As
of November 3, 1997, the sums owed to MG Holding amounted to $1,059,785 in
principal plus $89,601 in accrued interest. The promissory note is to be paid in
24 monthly installments commencing September 5, 1996. To date, only three
payments have been made. In July 1997, the Company and MG Holdings agreed that
no payments will be due until the consummation of this offering or the scheduled
maturity of the note, whichever occurs earlier.
(2) The Company intends to market its products through the placement of
advertisements in various media.
(3) The Company intends to hire a number of marketing professionals who
are expected to be paid a salary as well as commissions.
The amount of net proceeds to be received by the Company reflects the
Company's best estimate after deducting commissions and the Underwriter's
non-accountable expense allowance in the amount of $780,000 and other expenses
incurred in the offering of approximately $300,000, which either have been paid

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Set forth below are selected financial data with respect to the
Reorganized Company for the three months ended July 31, 1997, the nine months
ended April 30, 1997, and the three months ended July 31, 1996 and the years
ended April 30, 1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993 for the predecessor company. These
data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company
and the related notes included elsewhere herein. Effective August 8, 1996, the
Company emerged as the surviving entity in a merger with DCL. The balance sheet
of the combined entity was substantially similar to that of DCL immediately
prior to the merger. As a consequence, the financial data of the Company for the
reporting periods prior to July 31, 1996, consist of those of DCL.

(1) Due to the reorganization (see Note 2 to the financial statements),
operating results of the reorganized company may not be comparable to those of
the predecessor company. Management's assumptions used in determining the
Company's reorganization value are discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements.
(2) In 1994, the Company added a new line of products consisting primarily
of treadmills and ski machines. Sales of these products began in June 1994.
Total sales of these products amounted to approximately $24,000,000 from June 1,
1994 to August 23, 1995, the date the Company filed its Chapter 11 petition.
Approximately 73% of these products were shipped directly to customers. Due to
serious manufacturing defects and poor construction of the Company's products
delivered by the Company's manufacturers, primarily located in the People's
Republic of China, the Company was forced to allow substantial charge backs by
its customers. Although, pursuant to a written agreement, one of the
manufacturers acknowledged the defects and agreed to pay for returns and to
provide replacement goods at no cost, it breached this agreement soon
thereafter. As a result, during April 1995, the Company issued credits to
customers in the aggregate amount of approximately $5,000,000 for the fiscal
year ended April 30, 1995. The Company issued an additional $3,211,000 in
credits from defective merchandise during the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996.
In May 1996 the Company's plan of reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy
Court. During July and August 1996, the Company satisfied its obligations under
the Plan through cash payments and the issuance of Common Stock

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto of the Company
included elsewhere herein. The discharge of claims under the bankruptcy
proceedings described immediately below has been reflected in the financial
statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996. Effective August 8, 1996,
the Company completed a migratory merger from Delaware to Nevada by merging into
a newly-formed Nevada entity, thereby changing its name from Dynamic Classics,
Ltd. to Dynamic International, Ltd. The balance sheet of the combined entity was
substantially identical to that of the Company prior to the merger. The Company
and its predecessor are herein together referred to as the "Company."
As a consequence of the Company's fresh-start accounting, as described
below, which the Company adopted effective on July 31, 1996, financial results
for the year ended April 30, 1997, are reported by combining the financial
results for the three-month period ended July 31, 1996, and those of the
nine-month period ended April 30, 1997.
Because of the application of fresh-start reporting, the financial
statements for the periods after reorganization are not comparable in any
respects to the financial statements for the periods prior to the
reorganization.
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
In 1994, the Company added a new line of products consisting primarily of
treadmills and ski machines. Initially, the Company was successful in marketing
these products. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, sales of these
products represented approximately 53% of the Company's gross sales. However,
due to serious manufacturing defects and poor construction of the Company's
products delivered by the Company's manufacturers, primarily located in the
People's Republic of China, the Company was forced to allow substantial
chargebacks by its customers. Although, pursuant to a written agreement, one of
the manufacturers, China National Metals and Minerals ("CNM"), acknowledged the
defects and agreed to pay for returns and to provide replacement goods at no
cost, it breached this agreement soon thereafter. In March 1995, CNM sued the
Company for monetary damages alleging, among other things, breach of contract.
The Company and CNM subsequently settled the matter by releasing each other from
any claims and allowing CNM to collect an aggregate of $15,000 from the Company.
The Company suffered severe losses from its venture into this line of business
and in August 1995 filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
In May 1996, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan of reorganization (the
"Plan") pursuant to which creditors received partial satisfaction of their
claims. The amount of claims allowed under the bankruptcy proceedings aggregated
approximately $17,223,800, which exceeded the assets as recorded immediately
subsequent to the confirmation of the Plan by approximately $12,970,400. Under
the Plan, the Company made cash payments in the amount of approximately
$515,800. MG Holdings, which had purchased a promissory note from the Company's
principal financial institution, received 2,976,000 shares of Common Stock in
satisfaction of such promissory note, representing approximately 93% of the
issued and outstanding shares, thereby gaining absolute control over the
Company's affairs. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions". An additional
160,000 shares and 62,798 shares were issued to the Company's unsecured
creditors and the Company's existing security holders, respectively. The value
of the cash and securities distributed under the plan of reorganization
aggregated $531,561. An amount of $16,692,193, representing the difference
between the value of the total distribution and the amount of allowable claims
under the bankruptcy, was recorded as an extraordinary gain.
17
<PAGE> 21
In addition, under the Plan, the Company merged with a newly-formed Nevada
corporation for the purpose of changing its state of incorporation. The balance
sheet of the combined entity was substantially similar to the balance sheet of
the Company prior to the merger.
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting
on July 31, 1996 (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements). Under fresh-start
accounting, all assets and liabilities were restated to reflect their
reorganization value which approximated book value at July 31, 1996. The
reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets is
amortized over a period of eleven years. In connection with the bankruptcy
proceedings, the Company restructured its operations and relocated its
administrative headquarters and warehouse facilities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997, THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED APRIL 30, 1997, THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 AND THE YEARS ENDED
APRIL 30, 1997 AND 1996
Three Months Ended July 31, 1997
Sales for the three months ended July 31, 1997 decreased by $149,000, or
7.5%, from $1,983,000 to $1,834,000, compared to the three months ended July 31,
1996. Sales of the Company's exercise equipment and sports bags/luggage lines
decreased by $75,000 and $74,000, respectively.
The Company does not believe that the decrease in sales of its products
represents a material trend. The Company believes that the decrease is primarily
the result of the reorganization proceedings. The Company will attempt to
reverse this trend by expanding its product lines and increasing the
attractiveness of its products by developing new packaging. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in this effort.
Operating expenses decreased by approximately $120,000 due primarily to
decreases in the following expenses:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Officer salaries $ 38,000
Salesmen salaries $ 23,000
Insurance $ 12,000
Shipping expenses $ 46,000
</TABLE>
Officer salaries decreased by $38,000 as a result of the departure by the
former President of the Company in March 1997. Salesman salaries decreased by
$23,000 due to the elimination of a sales position in August 1996. Insurance
expense decreased due to lower product liability premiums. Shipping expenses
decreased due to an increase in the amount of sales which were shipped directly
to customers from the Company's overseas vendors. Interest expense remained
relatively constant. The Company had a pretax profit of $62,000 compared to a
pretax loss of $76,000 in the prior year's corresponding three-month period.
The following table sets forth the results of operations for the periods
discussed above:

Nine Months Ended April 30, 1997
Total sales of $7,493,000 and $1,983,000 for the nine months ended April
30, 1997 and the three months ended July 31, 1996, respectively, were, on a
combined basis, $2,324,000, or 32% higher than during the previous fiscal year.
Sales of exercise equipment of $4,124,000 and $960,000 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1997 and the three months ended July 31, 1996, respectively, were
$5,084,000, on a combined basis. These combined sales of exercise products were
$532,000 or 9% less than during the previous fiscal year. Sales of sports
bags/luggage products of $3,368,000 and $1,023,000 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1997 and the three months ended July 31, 1996, respectively, were
$4,391,000, on a combined basis. These combined sales of sports bags/luggage
products were 7% less than the previous fiscal year. Sales for the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1996 were reduced by $3,211,000 of customer credits for a
discontinued line of manual treadmills and ski machines.
The Company does not believe that the decrease in sales of its products
represents a material trend. The Company believes that the decrease is primarily
the result of the reorganization proceedings. The Company will attempt to
reverse this trend by expanding its product lines and increasing the
attractiveness of its products by developing new packaging. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in this effort.
Operating expenses of $2,227,000 and $558,000 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1997 and the three months ended July 31, 1996, respectively, were, on
a combined basis, $3,899,000 less than the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, due
to the reorganization.
The following is a discussion of the effect of the Company's
reorganization and adoption of fresh-start reporting on the various income
statement line items during the nine-month period ended April 30, 1997. For this
purpose, the nine months ended April 30, 1997 are compared to the nine months
ended April 30, 1996. Decreases for the nine months ended April 30, 1997
compared to the nine months ended April 30, 1996 are represented approximately
by net changes in the following expenses:

Fringe benefits 2,000 Bad debt expenses 666,000
Repairs & maintenance 4,000
</TABLE>
Freight out decreased by $10,000 due primarily to reduced volume.
Insurance claims and lawsuits decreased by $70,000 and $289,000, respectively,
as a result of the accrual of proofs of claim filed during the bankruptcy
proceeding as liabilities subject to compromise during the nine-month period
ended April 30, 1996. Showroom rent decreased by $319,000 since a proof of claim
for the balance of the lease was recorded during the nine-month period ended
April 30, 1996. The showroom was closed in October 1995. Officers salaries
decreased by $81,000 due to reduction in the salary of the former President of
the Company in September 1995, and the elimination of a Chief Operating Officer
position in December 1995. These changes resulted in decreases of $37,000 and
$44,000, respectively. Office salaries decreased by $262,000 due primarily to
the elimination of the Vice President of Operations position in June 1996 which
accounted for $119,000 of the reduction. In addition, the position of Credit
Manager was eliminated in May 1996 resulting in a savings of $45,000. The
balance of $98,000 is due to the overall reduction of the office staff as a part
of the reorganization. Warehouse salaries decreased by $115,000 due to the
elimination of warehouse employees under the reorganization. Salesmen salaries
decreased by $57,000 due to the elimination of a sales position in August 1996.
Payroll taxes and fringe benefits decreased by $45,000 and $2,000, respectively,
due primarily to the positions and employees eliminated during the
reorganization. Repairs and maintenance decreased by $4,000. Travel and
entertainment expenses decreased by $30,000 due to the decrease in executive and
sales personnel. Office equipment rental decreased by $7,000 due to a reduction
of the equipment rented due to the reorganization. Miscellaneous taxes decreased
by $8,000 as a consequence of the change in the Company's state of incorporation
from Delaware to Nevada which resulted in the elimination of Delaware franchise
taxes. Consulting fees decreased by $105,000 because the Company did not hire
consultants during the nine months ended April 30, 1997. Promotional materials
decreased by $189,000 due to decreased spending for these materials. Pension
costs decreased by $726,000 because a proof of claim filed by the Pension
Benefit Guarantee Corp. for this amount was recorded as part of the
reorganization during the nine months ended April 30, 1996. Telephone expenses
decreased by $31,000 due to the closing of the showroom in October 1995.
Data-processing costs decreased by $6,441 due to the reorganization of the
Company. Postage decreased by $10,000 due to improved cost management. Bad debt
expense decreased by $666,000 because of improved collections and decreased
sales volume.
The Company's pre-tax profit of $147,000 for the fiscal year ended April
30, 1997 is comprised of a $76,000 loss for the period of May 1, 1996 to July
31, 1996, and a $223,000 profit for the period August 1, 1996 to April 30, 1997.
As a result of the merger of Dynamic Classics, Ltd. into Dynamic International,
Ltd. (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements) and the ownership change due to
the reorganization, for tax purposes, the $76,000 loss is reportable in the
Company's final tax return (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements). As there is
a loss for the period, no current tax provision was recorded for the period May
1, 1996 to July 31, 1996. The Company also has net operating loss carry-forwards
of approximately $19,500,000, out of which approximately $16,700,000 would be
utilized to offset the extraordinary gain on the discharge of pre-Petition
liabilities in its final tax return. All deferred taxes arising from the
preconfirmation net operating losses were offset entirely by a valuation
allowance. Effectively, no deferred tax benefits were realized from
preconfirmation net operating losses. Any loss carry-forward not utilized in the
Company's final tax return is lost. Accordingly, the Company has no deferred
taxes as of July 31, 1996. The Company's new tax period ending April 30, 1997
commenced on August 9, 1996. The current income tax provision of $104,000 for
the fiscal year
20
<PAGE> 24
ended April 30, 1997 is based on pretax profits of $223,000 for the period
August 9, 1996 to April 30, 1997. The effective tax rate is 46% comprised of 26%
of federal taxes and 20% of state and local taxes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AND 1995
Sales for the years ended April 30, 1996 were $7,151,700, a decrease of
$25,381,400 or 78% from the previous fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due
to the discontinuation of a line of manual treadmills and ski machines. Sales of
this equipment accounted for approximately $15,580,000 during the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1995. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, as a result
of the Company's bankruptcy proceedings, it was forced to reduce its sales of
other exercise equipment and of its sports bags/luggage products which led to a
decline in sales of $5,334,700 and $1,333,600, respectively, to $5,615,600 and
$4,701,800, respectively. Sales of exercise equipment and sports bags/luggage
products during this period were offset by credits of $3,210,900 issued to
customers in connection with the discontinued line of manual treadmills and ski
machines.
21
<PAGE> 25
In 1994, the Company added a new line of products consisting primarily of
treadmills and ski machines. Sales of the treadmills and ski machines began in
June 1994. The Company sold approximately $24,000,000 of these products from
June 1, 1994 to August 23, 1995. Approximately $17,600,000 or 73% of these
products were shipped directly to customers. Due to serious manufacturing
defects and poor construction of the Company's products delivered by the
Company's manufacturers, primarily located in the People's Republic of China,
the Company was forced to allow substantial chargebacks by its customers.
Although, pursuant to a written agreement, the manufacturers acknowledged the
defects and agreed to pay for returns and to provide replacement goods at no
cost, they breached this agreement soon thereafter. As a result, during April
1995, the Company issued credits to customers for approximately $5,000,000 of
the $7,487,000 of credits for the fiscal year then ended.
The following table sets forth the financial statement effect of the
Company's line of treadmills and ski machines for the periods indicated:

The sale of these products was discontinued in August 1995 and all
inventory was disposed of by October 1995. Currently, the Company does not
believe that there will be additional returns of these products or that any
claims relating thereto remain to be settled.
In addition, the Company's operating expenses decreased by approximately
$1,083,300 to $6,683,200. As a result of the Company's reorganization, the
Company had decreases in the following expenses:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Officers salaries 160,000
Office salaries 180,000
Salesmen salaries 316,000
Payroll taxes 74,000
Fringe benefits 145,000
Travel & entertainment 237,000
</TABLE>
Officers salaries decreased by $160,000 as a result of a reduction in the
salary of the Company's former President in September 1995, and the separation
from the Company of the Senior Executive Vice President in January 1995. These
changes accounted for decreases of $67,000 and $73,000, respectively. Office
salaries decreased by $180,000 due to the overall reduction in office personnel
in October 1995 as the operations of the Company were consolidated and Achim
began to supply administrative and warehouse services. Salesmen salaries
decreased by $316,000 because bonuses and overrides were discontinued after
August 1995. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits decreased by $74,000 and
$145,000, respectively, due to the overall reduction in office personnel in
October 1995 as the operations of the Company were consolidated and Achim began
to supply administrative and warehouse services.

Travel and entertainment decreased by $237,000 due to the reduction in executive
staff and the cost containment measures instituted due to the reorganization.
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, after giving effect to an
extraordinary gain as a result of the discharge of pre-Petition liabilities in
the amount of $16,692,200, the Company recorded net income of $6,945,300,
compared to a net loss of $11,227,300 during the previous fiscal year. For the
fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, the Company would have recorded a net loss of
$9,746,900 before the extraordinary gain, or a decrease of $1,562,500 from the
prior fiscal year. This decrease primarily reflected a reduction in the
Company's operating expenses of approximately $1,083,300 and a reduction in
interest expense of $1,001,400. This decrease was due to the Company's exemption
from making interest payments of $558,312 during the reorganization proceedings.
In addition, interest expense decreased by $456,912 due to reduced borrowing for
the year ended April 30, 1996.
The extraordinary gain on debt discharge of pre-Petition liabilities,
which is recorded on the Company's books in fiscal year ended April 30, 1996,
was taxable in the subsequent fiscal period, as the actual distribution to
discharge the debt occurred in July 1996. For tax purposes, without the gain on
debt discharge, the Company had an operating loss for the year ended April 30,
1996 which resulted in the Company's not having any current income tax liability
(effective tax rate of 0%). The current operating losses and the prior year loss
carry-forwards totaled approximately $19,500,000. Based on ownership changes
resulting from the reorganization (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements),
approximately $16,700,000 will be utilized to offset the extraordinary gain on
debt discharge in its final tax return for the period May 1, 1996 to August 8,
1996. The balance of the net operating loss carry-forward is lost. The deferred
tax effect of $16,700,000 using a federal tax rate of 34% and state tax rate of
11% is approximately $7,511,000. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, the
Company's pretax loss of $11,309,000 resulted in a federal tax benefit of
$3,845,000 utilizing the statutory rate. As a result of changes to the valuation
allowance, the reversal of previously established deferred tax assets and losses
for which no benefit was provided, the Company's effective tax rate resulted in
a benefit of $82,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Three Months Ended July 31, 1997
Cash flow provided by operations increased to $95,513 compared to the
prior year's quarter under the predecessor Company which used cash of $64,766.
Net income of $38,665, along with a decrease in inventory of $515,399, due to
lower purchases, were the primary providers of cash from operations during the
quarter ended July 1997.
Net income and inventory reductions were offset by increased accounts
receivable and amounts due from suppliers of $156,220 due to stronger sales in
the last month of the quarter. In addition, cash was used in operations to pay
for increases in prepaid expenses, decreases in accounts payable and accrued
expenses, and income taxes payable of $95,346, $107,320, and $103,700,
respectively.
Financing activities used cash of $79,811 due to an increase in costs
related to this stock offering of $73,844 and the repayment of capital lease
obligations of $5,967. The Company had a positive cash flow for the period of
$15,702.
Nine Months Ended April 30, 1997
During the first nine months after the Company's reorganization, cash used
in operations amounted to $294,371. Cash used to pay creditors during the
reorganization amounted to $515,638. Cash was also used to increase inventory by
$1,032,882 during the nine-month period. The increase in inventory was due to an
anticipated increase
23
<PAGE> 27
in sales and the purchase of larger volumes to take advantage of the decreased
costs associated with the higher-volume purchases.
Accounts receivable and amounts due from suppliers decreased by $482,254,
prepaid expenses decreased by 122,017, miscellaneous receivables decreased by
$132,379 and prepaid and refundable income taxes decreased by $252,046. These
amounts partially offset expenditures for inventory and payments to creditors.
Cash of $332,957 provided by financing activities was primarily the result
of a $600,000 loan from MG Holding and was used to pay the creditors in
accordance with the Company's Plan. Cash provided by financing activities was
used to repay $145,324 of the note payable to MG Holding. In addition, payments
were made for capital leases, insurance notes, and deferred stock offering costs
of $29,656, $62,020, and $30,043, respectively. The Company had a positive cash
flow of $38,586.
Three Months Ended July 31, 1996
During the three months ended July 31, 1996, cash used by operating
activities amounted to $64,800. This was the result of a net loss of $76,400,
increases in accounts receivable and due from suppliers, and prepaid expenses of
$221,300 and $100,600, respectively, which were offset by a decrease in
inventory and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $115,600
and $155,800, respectively.
Financing activities provided cash of $43,200. Proceeds from insurance
notes payable of $77,200 were offset by repayments of insurance notes payable,
and repayments of capital lease obligations of $15,200 and $18,800,
respectively. The Company had a negative cash flow of $21,600 for the three
months ended July 31, 1996.
Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 1996
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, cash used by operating
activities amounted to $1,145,616. This was primarily the result of temporary
benefits received by the Company under the bankruptcy and subsequent
reorganization. Net income of $6,945,299 and the increase in pre-Petition
liabilities of $8,614,728 were offset by the gain of debt discharge under the
Plan of $16,692,193. In addition, the Company was not required to pay interest
on most of its debt during the bankruptcy period. Future cash flows will no
longer receive these benefits. Cash of $47,933 was used primarily to purchase
equipment for the manufacture of two exercise products as well as computer
hardware and software.
Financing activities generated cash in the amount of $877,493. Proceeds
from bank notes payable, bankers acceptances, and a loan from MG Holding were
$3,393,628, $1,118,556, and $557,000, respectively. These proceeds were offset
by repayments of bankers acceptances and capital leases of $4,127,139 and
$64,552, respectively. The Company had a negative cash flow of $316,056 for this
period.
Current Position
Pursuant to an unwritten understanding, Achim arranges for the issuance by
its financial lender of letters of credit in favor of the Company's overseas
suppliers thereby enabling the Company to finance the purchases of its
inventory. Also, in the event of domestic suppliers, from time to time, Achim
purchases products from the manufacturer and resells them to the Company in
order to accommodate Achim's commercial lenders who often require a security
interest in the merchandise until it has been sold and the lender has been
repaid. The Company pays Achim for the amount actually paid to the supplier
(including any applicable discounts) without markup, reimburses Achim for its
bank charges and pays it interest at the prime rate plus one percent on the
unpaid balance of the purchases. As of April 30, 1997, the Company owed an
amount of $2,590,360 in principal and interest under this arrangement. As of
September
24
<PAGE> 28
30, 1997, this sum had decreased to $1,440,476. See "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions." The weighted average interest rate paid by the Company to
Achim at September 30, 1997, April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996 was 9.37%, 9.25%
and 11.5%, respectively.
The Company owes an aggregate of approximately $1,200,000 to MG Holdings,
which is wholly owned by Marton B. Grossman, the Company's Chairman and
President, under a note evidencing debtor-in-possession financing provided by MG
Holdings. The note accrues interest at the Citibank Prime Rate plus 1%. As of
April 30, 1997, the Company had accrued interest in the amount of $34,219 in
connection with this loan. The promissory note is to be paid in 24 monthly
installments commencing September 5, 1996. To date, three payments have been
made. In July 1997, the Company and MG Holdings agreed that no payments will be
due until the consummation of this offering or the scheduled maturity of the
note, whichever occurs earlier. The Company intends to repay the note from the
proceeds of this offering.
The Company believes that cash generated by operations, the availability
of Achim's credit line to finance the Company's purchase of inventory, and the
proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to finance its operations for the
next twelve months.
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
The Company's business is highly seasonal with higher sales typically in
the second and third quarters of the fiscal year as a result of shipments of
exercise equipment and sports bags/luggage related to the holiday season.
Management does not believe that the effects of inflation will have a material
impact on the Company, nor is it aware of changes in prices of material or other
operating costs or in the selling price of its products and services that will
materially affect the Company.

BUSINESS
GENERAL
Dynamic International, Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("DIL"), is engaged in
the design, marketing and sale of a diverse line of hand exercise and light
exercise equipment, including hand grips, running weights, jump ropes and
aerobic steps and slides. It markets these products under the licensed
trademarks SPALDING(R) and KATHY IRELAND(R) as well as under its own trademarked
name SHAPE SHOP.(R) In addition, it designs and markets sports bags and luggage,
which are marketed primarily under the licensed name JEEP(R) and under its own
names PROTECH and SPORTS GEAR(R). The Company's objective is to become a
designer and marketer of goods that are associated with a free-spirited
lifestyle and leisure time.
The Company is the successor to Dynamic Classics, Ltd., a Delaware
corporation, incorporated in 1986 ("DCL," together with DIL, the "Company"),
which was the successor to a New York company incorporated in 1964. In August
1996, DCL merged with and into DIL, which had been newly formed for the purpose
of this merger. The objective of the merger was to change the Company's state of
incorporation from Delaware to Nevada.
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
In 1994, the Company added a new line of products consisting primarily of
treadmills and ski machines. Initially, the Company was successful in marketing
these products. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, sales of these
products represented approximately 53% of the Company's gross sales. However,
due to serious manufacturing defects and poor construction of the Company's
products delivered by the Company's manufacturers, primarily located in the
People's Republic of China, the Company was forced to allow substantial charge
backs by its customers. Although, pursuant to a written agreement, one of the
manufacturers, CNM, acknowledged the defects and agreed to pay for returns and
to provide replacement goods at no cost, it breached this agreement soon
thereafter. In March 1995, CNM sued the Company for monetary damages alleging,
among other things, breach of contract. The Company and CNM subsequently settled
the matter by releasing each other from any claims and allowing CNM to collect
an aggregate of $15,000 from the Company. The Company suffered severe losses
from its venture into this line of business and in August 1995 filed a voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
In May 1996, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan of reorganization
pursuant to which creditors received partial satisfaction of their claims. MG
Holdings, which had purchased a promissory note from the Company's principal
lender, received 2,976,000 shares of Common Stock in full satisfaction of the
promissory note. The number of shares issued to MG Holdings represented 93% of
the issued and outstanding shares. As a result, MG Holdings acquired absolute
control over the Company's affairs. MG Holdings is wholly-owned by Marton
Grossman, the Company's Chairman and President. See "Principal Stockholders" and
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." In addition, as part of the
plan of reorganization, the Company, then known as DCL, merged into DIL, a newly
formed Nevada corporation, for the purpose of changing its state of
incorporation. See "Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

PRODUCTS
Exercise Equipment
The Company's line of exercise equipment consists primarily of handheld
products, including dumbbells, ankle and wrist weights, hand grips, jumpropes,
exercise suits, slimmer belts and strength training products. In addition, the
Company markets light weight equipment such as aerobic steps and slides and
exercise mats. The Company also carries a line of small electronic devices
designed to monitor physical activity such as stopwatches, pedometers, pulse
meters and calorie counters.
Luggage/Sports Bags
The Company's line of luggage consists primarily of duffle bags, weekend
bags, garment bags, suitcases, pilot cases and flight attendant wheeled cases.
Some of the models are equipped with wheels and/or retractable handles.
Other Products
The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has obtained the exclusive
rights to the patents underlying the technology used in an insulated bag
incorporating a wrap-around gel pack or freeze pack with the ability to cool and
preserve food and other products for an extended period of time. In addition, it
obtained the trademarks FREEZY-BAG(TM) and FREEZYGEL(TM) under which the
products are sold. See "Intellectual Property-License Agreements." The Company
is currently testing the marketability of these products.
The Company may from time to time manufacture and/or market additional
products under its own names or under licensed names.
Design and Development
The Company usually designs its own exercise equipment and creates its own
molds and tooling. Such molds and tooling are used by the manufacturers to
produce the equipment. The Company retains an ownership interest in the molds
which are returned to it upon the termination of the Company's relationship with
a particular manufacturer. The Company has been granted a number of design
patents with respect to certain of its products. None of these patents are
currently used by the Company. See "Intellectual Property." The Company employs
a designer on a full-time basis for the design of its luggage products. During
the most recent fiscal year the Company spent approximately $102,000 on design
activities, including fees to designers and patent attorneys. The Company may
from time to time utilize the services of consultants for products and package
design.
Most of the Company's products are manufactured in the Philippines, Taiwan
and Hong Kong, which in the most recent fiscal year accounted for approximately
38%, 27% and 10% of the Company's products, respectively. In addition, the
Company's products are manufactured in the United States, the People's Republic
of China and Indonesia. Exercise equipment is usually shipped by the
manufacturers to the Company within 45 days of the placement of an order. Orders
for luggage and sports bags, which for the most part are produced in the
Philippines and China, usually require a period of 90 to 120 days before they
are shipped. The Company ordinarily has its products manufactured based on
purchase orders and it has no long term relationships with any of its
manufacturers. The Company believes that, if necessary, it will be able to
obtain its products from firms located in other countries at little if any
additional
28
<PAGE> 32
expense. As a consequence, the Company believes that an interruption in
deliveries by a manufacturer located in a particular country will not have a
material adverse impact on the business of the Company. Nevertheless, because of
political instability in a number of the supply countries, occasional import
quotas and other restrictions on trade or otherwise, there can be no assurance
that the Company will at all times have access to a sufficient supply of
merchandise.
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company sells its products on a wholesale basis only. Most of its
products are sold to catalog showrooms, drug chains, discount stores and
sporting goods chains. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997 approximately
25% and 13% of the Company's revenues were derived from sales to K-Mart and
Service Merchandise, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than ten
percent of the Company's revenues. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997,
sales of exercise equipment accounted for approximately 53% of the Company's
revenues while 47% of the Company's revenues were derived from the sale of
luggage.
The Company sells its products primarily through independent sales agents
on a commission-only basis. The Company currently engages approximately 23 sales
agents either on an individual basis or through independent sales organizations.
Although it has written agreements with a number of its agents, all of such
agreements are terminable at will. The Company has no long term arrangements
with any of its agents. The Company usually pays commissions ranging from 1% to
5% of the net sale price of its products. Although the Company believes that its
sales agents sell products exclusively on behalf of the Company, there are no
agreements that prohibit them from selling competing products.
In addition, the Company on a small scale markets existing products to
retailers for resale under their own private labels. The Company has began
deliveries to Service Merchandise, Inc. and Kohl's Department Stores. The
Company has no written agreements with these customers. Although the scope of
this marketing effort is currently limited, the Company intends to expand the
number of private label transactions. No assurance can be given that its efforts
in this area will be successful.
The Company currently anticipates that it may increasingly focus its
attention on direct response marketing. The Company believes that its products
are particularly well suited for so-called impulse buys. Therefore, it intends
to develop plans to use infomercials to market its products. To date, no
significant expenditures have been made in connection with this effort.
COMPETITION
The Company's exercise products compete with products marketed and sold by
a number of companies. The Company believes that its main competitors are Icon
Health and Fitness, Inc. and Bollinger Industries. Both of these companies
possess far greater financial and other resources, including sales forces, than
the Company's. However, the Company believes that as a result of its ability to
use the trademarked names SPALDING(TM) and KATHY IRELAND(TM) it will be able to
retain its share of the market. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to effectively compete with these companies as well as with
other smaller entities.
The Company's sports bag/luggage products compete with products designed
by a number of the largest companies in the industry, including Samsonite, Sky
Way and American Tourister. The Company believes that because of its
concentration on the upscale lifestyle and more specialized leisure market that
are associated with the trademark JEEP(TM) the Company will be able to continue
to grow its sports bag/luggage business. Nevertheless, there can be no
29
<PAGE> 33
assurance that the Company will be able to effectively compete with these
companies as well as with other smaller entities.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company owns a number of trademarks, including POCKETSPLUS, PROTECH
TRAVEL SYSTEMS & DESIGN and EXER-SLIDE.
License Agreements
The Company sells a number of its products under licensed names. The
Company has entered into licensee agreements which provide for the grant of
licenses to the Company and the payment of royalties by the Company, as follows:
JEEP -- Under an agreement dated January 8, 1993, as amended
by letter amendment dated January 8, 1996, between the Company and the
Chrysler Corporation (as so amended, the "Jeep Agreement"), the Company
was granted the exclusive license to use the names JEEP, WRANGLER and
RENEGADE in connection with the manufacture, sale and distribution of
luggage products. The current expiration date of the Jeep Agreement is
December 31, 1998. The parties have informally agreed to start
negotiations regarding the terms of an extension of the current agreement.
SPALDING -- Pursuant to two separate agreements between the
Company and Spalding & Evenflo Companies Inc. dated November 1, 1992, and
April 1, 1994, the Company was granted the exclusive right to use the name
SPALDING in connection with the sale and distribution of a number of
products, including weight bars and large exercise machines. The
agreements expired in September 1997. However, the Company is currently
negotiating a renewal of the agreement relating to the handheld exercise
equipment, and it is confident that it will be able to negotiate such
renewal. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that the Company will be
successful in negotiating a renewal of the agreements.
KATHY IRELAND -- Under an agreement with Kathy Ireland, Inc.,
dated December 22, 1994, Ms. Ireland approves and endorses certain
exercise equipment designed and manufactured by the Company. Under the
agreement, the Company has the right to use her name in connection with
the equipment and Ms. Ireland will make appearances to promote such
equipment. In addition, the Company has the right to use her photograph
and likeness in connection with the sale of the equipment. The agreement
is currently scheduled to expire in June 1998 but is subject, at the
Company's option, to renewal until June 2000.
FREEZY-BAG/FREEZYGEL -- Under an agreement dated November 1,
1996, between New Century Marketing & Distributors, Inc. and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company obtained the exclusive
rights to a patented technology as well as to the trademarked names
FREEZY-BAG and FREEZYGEL. The technology has the ability to cool foods and
other products and is used in the wrapping of such products. The agreement
has a term of two years but is renewable, at the option of the Company,
for additional one year periods.

<PAGE> 34
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH ACHIM IMPORTING CO., INC.
Pursuant to a Warehousing and Service Agreement dated as of September 1,
1996 (the "Warehousing Agreement") between the Company and Achim, Achim performs
certain administrative services on behalf of the Company. Under the Warehousing
Agreement, Achim assists, among other things, in the maintenance of financial
and accounting books and records, in the preparation of monthly financial
accounts receivable aging schedules and other reports and in the performance of
credit checks on the Company's customers. In consideration for these services,
Achim receives an annual fee, payable monthly, calculated as a percentage of the
Company's invoiced sales originating at the warehouse ranging from 4% of
invoiced sales under $30 million to 3% for sales of $60 million or more. For
sales not originating at the warehouse, Achim receives a service fee in the
amount of 1.5% of the Company's invoiced sales to customers and accounts located
in the United States if payment is made by letter of credit and 1% if such
customers and accounts are located outside the United States, irrespective of
manner of payment.
In addition, under the Warehousing Agreement, Achim provides warehousing
services consisting of receiving, shipping and storing of the Company's
merchandise. The Company pays Achim a monthly fee of 3% of its invoiced sales
originating at the warehouse in connection with these warehousing services
performed by Achim under the Warehousing Agreement.
The Warehousing Agreement has a term of two years and is automatically
renewable for additional one year periods unless written notice of termination
is given at least six months prior to the commencement of a renewal period.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997, the Company accrued approximately
$458,488 in fees under the Warehousing Agreement, consisting of $94,907 for the
three months ended July 31, 1996 and $363,580 for the nine months ended April
30, 1997.
Achim is wholly-owned by Marton Grossman, the Company's Chairman and
President. The Company believes that the terms of the Warehousing Agreement with
Achim are at least as favorable as would have been obtained from an unaffiliated
third party.
In addition, pursuant to an unwritten understanding, Achim arranges for
the issuance by its financial lender of letters of credit in favor of the
Company's overseas suppliers thereby enabling the Company to finance the
purchases of its inventory. Also, in the event of domestic suppliers, from time
to time, Achim purchases products from the manufacturer and resells them to the
Company in order to accommodate Achim's commercial lenders who often require a
security interest in the merchandise until it has been sold and the lender has
been repaid. The Company pays Achim for the amount actually paid to the supplier
(including any applicable discounts) without markup, reimburses Achim for its
bank charges and pays it interest at the prime rate plus one percent on the
unpaid balance of the purchases. As of April 30, 1997, the Company owed an
amount of $2,590,360 in principal and interest under this arrangement. As of
September 30, 1997, this sum had decreased to $1,440,476. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions." The weighted average interest rate paid
by the Company to Achim at September 30, April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996 was
9.37%, 9.25% and 11.5%, respectively.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 1997 the Company employed 13 persons, of whom five
were executive officers, three were engaged in administrative and clerical
activities, three were engaged in sales and two were involved in warehousing and
shipping. None of the Company's employees are represented by a union and no work
stoppages have occurred.

PROPERTIES
The Company occupies a warehouse consisting of approximately 54,400 square
feet, of which 4,500 square feet are dedicated to office space, located at 58
Second Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. The property is owned by Sym Holding which is
owned by Isaac Grossman and one of his siblings. Mr. Grossman is the Company's
Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. Since Achim occupied the premises before
it became affiliated with the Company, it remains the lessee under the lease.
Achim makes the property available to the Company on a rent-free at will basis.
See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" and "Management Agreement
with Achim Importing Co., Inc."
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 23, 1995, the Company filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York (the "Court"). On May 23, 1996, the Court entered an Order
confirming the Company's plan of reorganization. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTANTS
On June 26, 1996, the Company dismissed Hoberman, Miller & Co., P.C. as
its independent accountants ("Hoberman"). This action had been approved by the
Company's Board of Directors. During the past two years Hoberman did not issue a
report on the Company's financial statements that either contained an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the period of their engagement from June 30, 1973 until June 26,
1996, there were no disagreements between the Company and Hoberman on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit
scope and procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Hoberman, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with any report that was to have been, or will be,
prepared for the Company.
On July 11, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Moore
Stephens, P.C. as its independent accountants, subject to ratification by the
Company's shareholders.

Marton Grossman, the Company's Chairman and President, does not have an
employment agreement and is not being paid a salary. However, in April 1997 the
Company entered into a Bonus Agreement (the "Bonus Agreement") with Mr. Grossman
which provides for the issuance to Mr. Grossman of an aggregate of 2,000,000
shares of Common Stock if the Company reaches certain earnings milestones, as
follows: if the Company's earnings before
35
<PAGE> 39
taxes for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1998, are no less than $500,000, he
will be issued 400,000 shares; if the Company's earnings before taxes for the
fiscal year ending April 30, 1999, are no less than $1,000,000, he will be
issued 600,000 shares; and if the Company's earnings before taxes for the fiscal
year ending April 30, 2000, are no less than $1,500,000, he will be issued
1,000,000 shares. The stated earnings criteria are cumulative so that in the
event of an earnings shortfall during a fiscal year, such shortfall may be
compensated by earnings during a subsequent year, as a result of which Mr.
Grossman will be issued shares that, in the aggregate, equal the number of
shares issuable during these two years if the Company had reached earnings for
each year as required under the Bonus Agreement. The Bonus Agreement also
provides for piggyback registration rights with respect to the Common Stock to
be issued.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued to Mr. Marton Grossman under the Bonus Agreement:

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission. Officers, directors and
greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company
believes that during the period from May 1, 1996 through April 30, 1997 other
than Forms 3 that were filed late with respect to Messrs. Marton and Isaac
Grossman and William Dolan and the Marton Grossman Annuity Trust, all Section
16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than
ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the plan of reorganization, MG Holdings purchased from
the Company's principal lender a note in the principal amount of approximately
$6,822,530. MG Holdings is wholly owned by Marton Grossman, the Company's
Chairman and President. The note was repaid by the Company through the issuance
of 2,976,000 shares of Common Stock to MG Holdings. MG Holdings subsequently
assigned the Common Stock to a trust for the benefit of members of Mr.
Grossman's family.
36
<PAGE> 40
Also in connection with the plan of reorganization, MG Holdings loaned
approximately $1,205,000 to the Company to consummate the plan and for related
expenses. The Company issued a promissory note to MG Holdings evidencing the
loan and granted it a security interest in all of the Company's assets. The
promissory note is to be paid in 24 monthly installments commencing September 5,
1996. The note accrues interest at the Citibank Prime Rate plus one percent. The
weighted average interest rate as of the date hereof and at April 30, 1997 was
9.35% and 9.25%, respectively. As of April 30, 1997 the Company had accrued
interest in the amount of $37,219 in connection with this loan. As of October
14, 1997, the amount of interest owed amounted to $84,244. In July 1997 the
Company and MG Holding agreed that no principal or interest payments under the
note would be due until the consummation of this offering or the scheduled
maturity of the note, whichever occurs earlier. The Company intends to repay
this note from the proceeds of this offering.
Pursuant to the Warehousing Agreement, Achim performs certain
administrative services on behalf of the Company. Under the Warehousing
Agreement, Achim assists, among other things, in the maintenance of financial
and accounting books and records, in the preparation of monthly financial
accounts receivable aging schedules and other reports and in the performance of
credit checks on the Company's customers. In consideration for these services,
Achim receives an annual fee, payable monthly, calculated as a percentage of the
Company's invoiced sales originating at the warehouse ranging from 4% of
invoiced sales under $30 million to 3% for sales of $60 million or more. For
sales not originating at the warehouse, Achim receives a service fee in the
amount of 1.5% of the Company's invoiced sales to customers and accounts located
in the United States if payment is made by letter of credit and 1% if such
customers and accounts are located outside the United States, irrespective of
manner of payment.
In addition, under the Warehousing Agreement, Achim provides warehousing
services consisting of receiving, shipping and storing of the Company's
merchandise. The Company pays Achim a monthly fee of 3% of its invoiced sales
originating at the warehouse in connection with these warehousing services
performed by Achim under the Warehousing Agreement.
The Warehousing Agreement has a term of two years and is automatically
renewable for additional one year periods unless written notice of termination
is given at least six months prior to the commencement of a renewal period.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997, the Company accrued approximately
$458,488 in fees under the Warehousing Agreement, consisting of $94,907 for the
three months ended July 31, 1996 and $363,580 for the nine months ended April
30, 1997. To date, none of these fees have been paid. Achim does not charge the
Company interest on the unpaid portion of the fees payable under the Warehousing
Agreement.
Achim is wholly-owned by Marton Grossman, the Company's Chairman and
President. The Company believes that the terms of the Warehousing Agreement with
Achim are at least as favorable as would have been obtained from an unaffiliated
third party.
In addition, pursuant to an unwritten understanding, Achim arranges for
the issuance by its financial lender of letters of credit in favor of the
Company's overseas suppliers thereby enabling the Company to finance the
purchases of its inventory. Also, from time to time, when taking deliveries from
domestic suppliers, Achim purchases products from the manufacturer and resells
them to the Company in order to accommodate Achim's commercial lenders who often
require a security interest in the merchandise until it has been sold and the
lender has been repaid. The Company pays Achim for the amount actually paid to
the supplier (including any applicable discounts) without markup, reimburses
Achim for its bank charges and pays it interest at the prime rate plus one
percent on the unpaid balance of the purchases. As of April 30, 1997, the
Company owed an amount of $2,590,360 in principal and interest under this
arrangement. As of September 30, 1997, this sum had decreased to $1,440,476. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The weighted average interest
rate paid by the Company to Achim at September 30, 1997, April 30, 1997 and
April 30, 1996 was 9.37%, 9.25% and 11.5%, respectively.

<PAGE> 41
The Company occupies a warehouse consisting of approximately 54,400 square
feet, of which 4,500 square feet are dedicated to office space, located at 58
Second Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. The property is owned by Sym Holding which is
owned by Isaac Grossman and one of his siblings. Mr. Grossman is the Company's
Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. The property is leased to Achim which
makes the property available to the Company on a rent-free at will basis. See
"Business-Management Agreement with Achim Importing Co., Inc." and
"-Properties."
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, authorizes the
Company to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed
circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and
expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, to which such person is a party by reason of
being a director or officer of the Company if it is determined that such person
acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such
statutory provisions. Article 10 of the Company's Bylaws contains provisions
relating to the indemnification of directors and officers.
The Company may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of
any director or officer which may cover claims for which the Company could not
indemnify such person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

(collectively, the "Grossman Trust") for the benefit of relatives of Mr.

the trustees of the Grossman Trusts. Under its terms, the Grossman Trust will
return to Mr. Grossman annually until August 1998 56% of the value of the shares
(payable in cash or in shares) when deposited into each of the Grossman Trusts.
Since the number of shares to be returned to Mr. Grossman is based on the then
current market price of the Common Stock, such number can not be determined at
the present time. To date, no shares have been returned to Mr. Grossman under
this arrangement. Mr. Grossman disclaims beneficial ownership in the shares held
by the Grossman Trust that will not be returned to him.

shares may be returned to Marton Grossman as described in footnote 2. Mr.
Grossman is a trustee of the Grossman Trust and in that capacity shares voting
power as to the shares held by the Grossman Trust.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $.001 per share. As of the date of this Prospectus, 3,198,258 shares of
Common Stock are issued and outstanding.
The following are brief descriptions of the securities offered hereby and
other securities of the Company. The rights of the holders of shares of the
Company's capital stock are established by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws and Nevada Law. The following statements do
not purport to be complete or give full effect to statutory or common law, and
are subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws and state law.
UNITS
The Company is hereby offering 1,200,000 Units, each Unit consisting of
one share of Common Stock, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant. The
Common Stock and the Warrants will be separately tradable commencing __________
[90 days after the effective date].
COMMON STOCK
The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or subscription rights in
later offerings of Common Stock and are entitled to share ratably (i) in such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available for such purpose and (ii) upon liquidation, in all assets of the
Company remaining after payment in full of all debts and obligations of the
Company and any preferences granted in the future to any preferred stock. The
Company has not paid any dividends on the Common Stock.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held and
have no cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote for election
of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so. After
completion of this offering, the current stockholders collectively will continue
to own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. All shares of
Common Stock now outstanding are fully paid and nonassessable and all shares of
Common Stock which are the subject of this offering, when issued, will be fully
paid and nonassessable. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional
shares of Common Stock within the limits authorized by the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation without stockholder action.
WARRANTS
The Warrants offered hereby will be issued in registered form under a
Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") between the Company and American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent"). The
following summary of the provisions of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to
the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The Class A
Warrants and the Class B Warrants are identical except that (i) each Class A
Warrant is exercisable at
40
<PAGE> 44
$6.00 and each Class B Warrant is exercisable at $10.00, and (ii) the market
price that will allow redemption to take place is $9.00 for the Class A Warrant
and $15.00 for the Class B Warrants.
Each Class A Warrant will be separately transferable commencing on the
Separation Date and will entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase one
share of Common Stock at $6.00 per share (subject to adjustment as described
below) for a period of 18 months from the date of this Prospectus. Each Class B
Warrant will be separately transferable commencing on the Separation Date and
will entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock
at $10.00 (subject to adjustment as described below) for a period of three years
commencing on the date of this Prospectus. Holders of Warrants may exercise such
Warrants by surrendering the certificate evidencing such Warrants to the Warrant
Agent, together with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side of
such certificate attached thereto properly completed and executed and the
payment of the exercise price and any transfer tax. If less than all of the
Warrants evidenced by a Warrant certificate are exercised, a new certificate
will be issued for the remaining number of Warrants. See "Underwriting."
The Warrants may not be exercised unless a current registration statement
is on file with the Commission and various state securities commissions. The
Company has agreed to use its best efforts to maintain a current effective
registration statement under the Securities Act. While it is the Company's
intention to file post-effective amendments when necessary and to take
appropriate action under state securities laws, there is no assurance that the
registration statement will be kept effective or that such appropriate action
under state securities laws will be effected. If the registration statement is
not kept current for any reason, the Warrants will not be exercisable, and
holders thereof may be deprived of value.
The Company has authorized and reserved for issuance a number of shares of
Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrants. When
issued, upon exercise of the Warrants, each share of Common Stock will be fully
paid and nonassessable. Warrant holders will not have any voting or other rights
as shareholders of the Company unless and until Warrants are exercised and
shares issued pursuant thereto. The exercise price and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to
adjustment. Generally, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted if
the Company issues and sells shares of Common Stock (or issue securities
convertible into Common Stock options, warrants and other similar rights) at a
price less than the exercise price of the Warrants in effect at the time of such
issuance. Upon each adjustment in the exercise price, corresponding adjustments
will be made in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants. In addition, in the event of a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar corporate transactions
involving the Company, the then holders of the Warrants will receive the right
to purchase the kind and amount of securities (subject to adjustment as set
forth above) they would have been entitled to receive had they exercised the
Warrants immediately prior to any such corporate transaction. The foregoing does
not purport to be a complete description of the anti-dilution provisions of the
Warrants. The complete terms are set forth in the Warrant Agreement which has
been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
forms a part.
At any time, The Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants are redeemable
by the Company at $.01 per Warrant on thirty day's prior written notice at any
time provided that the average closing bid price for the Common Stock is no less
than $9.00 per share with respect to the Class A Warrants and $15.00 with
respect to the Class B Warrants for any ten trading days within a period of 30
consecutive trading days as reported on the principal exchange or market on
which the Common Stock is traded. The right to purchase the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise by the Warrants noticed for redemption will be forfeited
unless the Warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of
redemption. While the Company may legally be permitted to give notice to redeem
the Warrants at a time when a current prospectus is not available thereby
leaving the Warrant holders no opportunity to exercise their Warrants prior to
redemption, the Company does not intend to redeem the Warrants unless a current
prospectus is available at the time of redemption.

SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have 4,398,798 shares
of Common Stock outstanding (4,578,798 shares if the Underwriter's
over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, the shares
included in the Units and 224,000 shares held by existing security holders will
be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act except for any shares purchased by an "affiliate" of the Company
(in general, a person who has a control relationship with the Company) which
will be subject to the limitations of Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act.
Except as described below, all of the remaining shares of Common Stock may be
deemed "restricted securities," as that term is defined under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act. Such shares may be sold to the public
immediately, subject to volume restrictions, as described below.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, subject to the
satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person, including an affiliate of
the Company (or persons whose shares are aggregated with an affiliate of the
Company), who has owned restricted shares of Common Stock beneficially for at
least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding
shares of the same class or the average weekly trading volume of the Company's
Common Stock on all exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation
system of a registered securities association during the four calendar weeks
preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the Commission.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions,
notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the
Company. A person who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least the
three months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned
shares of Common Stock for at least two years is entitled to sell such shares
under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.
Approximately 93% of the currently issued and outstanding shares are owned
by a series of trusts for the benefit of relatives of Marton Grossman. Isaac and
Sheila Grossman are among the trustees of these trusts. Although no lock-up
agreements are in effect with respect to any of such shares of Common Stock, the
Company has been advised that there is no current intent to resell any of such
securities. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management."
TRANSFER AGENT
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, New
York 10005, acts as Transfer Agent for the Company's Common Stock and Warrants.
MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES
The Company believes that there are currently in excess of 1,000
registered holders of the Company's Common Stock Prior to the Company's filing
of a petition for protection under the Bankruptcy Code in 1995, the Company's
securities were traded on the Nasdaq There currently exists no active trading
market for the Company's securities and, therefore, no current pricing
information is available for the Common Stock. It is anticipated that the
Securities will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board upon completion of this
offering.

in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") concessions of $___ per Unit. Upon completion of the sale of all
Securities offered hereby, the public offering price and concessions may be
changed by the Underwriter.
The Company has granted the Underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days
from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase from it up to 180,000 Units at the
public offering prices less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus. The Underwriter may exercise this option solely to
cover over-allotments in the sale of the Units offered hereby.
The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter a non-accountable expense
allowance of 3% of the gross proceeds to the Company of the Units sold in the
offering (including the over-allotment option).
The Underwriter will (i) receive a Warrant solicitation fee equal to 8%
(or the maximum amount permissible under NASD rules) of the exercise price of
all Warrants it causes to be exercised (or $1,536,000, assuming exercise of all
Warrants) commencing one year from the date hereof, if (a) the market price of
the Company's Common Stock on the date the Warrant is exercised is greater than
the exercise price of the Warrant, (b) the exercise of the Warrant was solicited
by the Underwriter, (c) the Warrant is not held in a discretionary account, (d)
disclosure of the compensation arrangement is made upon the sale and exercise of
the Warrants, (e) soliciting the exercise is not in violation of Rule 10b-6
under the Exchange Act, and (f) solicitation of the exercise is otherwise in
compliance with the applicable NASD rules. The Warrant solicitation fee will be
payable only after one year from the date hereof.
Under the underwriting agreement, the Underwriter has the right to
designate one member of the Board of Directors for a period of three years from
the date hereof. The agreement also provides for reciprocal indemnification
between the Company and the Underwriter against certain civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriter or its designees, at a
price of $120, 120,000 warrants to purchase 120,000 Units (the "Underwriter's
Warrants"). Other than a one-year restriction on transferability and
exercisability and a higher exercise price of the Warrants included in the
Units, the Units underlying the Underwriter's Warrants are identical in all
respects to the Units offered to the public hereby. The Warrants will be
exercisable at a price of $8.25 per Unit for a period of five years. The Class A
Warrants and Class B Warrants underlying the Units included in the Underwriter's
Warrants will be exercisable at a price of $9.90 and $16.50, respectively, or
165% of the then exercise price of the Warrants offered to the public, for a
period of five years commencing on the date hereof (unless redeemed earlier).
The Underwriter's Securities may not be exercised or sold, transferred, assigned
or hypothecated for one year from the date hereof except to officers of the
Underwriter. Any profit realized upon a resale of the Underwriter's Securities
may be deemed to be additional underwriter's compensation. The Company has
agreed to register, or file a post-effective amendment with respect to any
registration statement registering, the Underwriter's Securities under the
Securities Act at its expense on one occasion during the five years following
the date of this Prospectus and at the expense of the holders thereof on another
occasion, upon the request of a majority of the holders
43
<PAGE> 47
thereof. The Company has also agreed to "piggy-back" registration rights for the
holders of the Underwriter's Securities at the Company's expense during the five
years following the date of this Prospectus.
The Company has agreed to retain the Underwriter as a financial consultant
for the two years following the closing of this offering for an aggregate fee of
$20,000 payable at the closing of this offering.
The Underwriter has informed the Company that it does not expect sales of
Units to be made to discretionary accounts.
PRICING OF THE OFFERING
Immediately prior to this offering, there has been no active public
trading market for any of the Company's securities. Consequently, the initial
offering prices of the Units and the exercise prices of the Warrants have been
determined by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter. Among the
factors considered in determining the offering prices were the Company's
financial condition and prospects, the industry in which the Company is engaged,
certain financial and operating information of companies engaged in activities
similar to those of the Company and the general market condition of the
securities markets. The offering prices do not necessarily bear any relationship
to any established standard or criteria of value based upon assets, earnings,
book value or other objective measures.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the Units offered hereby will be passed
upon for the Company by the law firm of Heller, Horowitz & Feit, P.C., New York,
New York. Gerald A. Kaufman, Esq., Huntington Station, New York, will pass on
certain aspects of this offering on behalf of the Underwriter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dynamic International, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dynamic
International, Ltd. (formerly Dynamic Classics, Ltd., see Note 2) and its
subsidiary as of April 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
nine months ended April 30, 1997, the three months ended July 31, 1996, and the
year ended April 30, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dynamic
International, Ltd. (formerly Dynamic Classics, Ltd.) and its subsidiary as of
April 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the nine months ended April 30, 1997, the three months ended July 31,
1996, and the year ended April 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed more fully in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on
August 23, 1995, the Company filed a voluntary petition requesting relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On May 23, 1996, the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed the
Company's Amended and Modified Plan of Reorganization dated February 22, 1996.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. The Company
Dynamic International, Ltd. (the "Company") is engaged
in the sale and distribution of a diverse line of hand
exercise and light exercise equipment, sports
bags/luggage and gift products which are distributed
throughout the United States.
b. Revenue
Revenue is recognized when the goods are shipped to the
customer.
c. Fresh Start Reporting
Financial accounting during a Chapter 11 proceeding is
prescribed in "Statement of Position 90-7 of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,"
titled "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"),
which the Company adopted effective July 31, 1996. The
emergence from the Chapter 11 proceeding resulted in the
creation of a new reporting entity without any
accumulated deficit and with the Company's assets and
liabilities restated at their estimated fair values
(also see Note 2 Reorganization and Management Plan).
Because of the application of fresh start reporting, the
financial statements for periods after reorganization
are not comparable in all respects to the financial
statements for periods prior to reorganization.
d. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and the wholly owned inactive
subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
e. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be
cash equivalents.
f. Inventories
Inventories consist principally of finished goods and
are stated at the lower of cost; last-in, first-out
method, (LIFO) or market.
g. Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation
is provided generally by accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged against income.
Estimated useful lives used in calculating depreciation
are as follows:

h. Deferred Offering Costs
Legal and accounting costs incurred in connection with
the proposed public offering of the Company's common
stock will be charged to additional paid-in capital upon
completion of the proposed public offering. If the
offering is not consummated, these costs will be
expensed.
i. Advertising and Promotion
Advertising and promotion expense, primarily comprised
of print media distributed to current and potential
customers, is expensed as incurred.
j. Earnings Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding as adjusted for the
1 for 5 reverse split. Common stock equivalents are
included in the calculation if they are dilutive.
Amounts for the predecessor company (see Note 2) are not
presented as they are not meaningful.
k. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
l. Stock Options and Similar Equity Instruments
On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," for stock options and similar equity
instruments (collectively, "Options") issued to
employees; however, the Company will continue to apply
the intrinsic value based method of accounting for
options issued to employees prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issues to Employees," rather than the fair value
based method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123.
SFAS No. 123 also applies to transactions in which an
entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or
services from non-employees. Those transactions must be
accounted for based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable.
m. Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets
The excess reorganization value is amortized over a
period of eleven years on the straight line basis (see
Note 2). Management re-evaluates the periods of
amortization to

m. determine whether subsequent events and circumstances
warrant revised estimates of useful lives. If impairment
is deemed to exist, the excess reorganization value will
be written down to fair value or projected discounted
cash flows from related operations. As of April 30,
1997, management expects the asset to be fully
recoverable.
2. REORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN
In 1994, the Company added a new line of products consisting
primarily of treadmills and ski machines. Initially, the Company was
successful in marketing these products. However, due to defective
products delivered by the Company's manufacturers, primarily located
in the People's Republic of China, the Company was forced to allow
substantial returns by its customers. Although pursuant to a written
agreement, the manufacturers acknowledged the defects and agreed to
pay for returns and to provide replacement goods at no cost, they
breached this agreement soon thereafter. For the year ended April
30, 1996, the Company suffered significant losses in the amount of
approximately $3,700,000 from its venture into this line of
business.
At April 30, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with certain of
the financial covenants which enabled the bank to declare the
outstanding balances of all amounts due the bank to be immediately
due and payable. In July 1995, the lender bank effectively
terminated its relationship with the Company as it experienced
difficulty in complying with the terms of the loans. As a result,
certain collateral was liquidated by the lender bank. On August 22,
1995, the lender bank sold and assigned the loan balance of $6.8
million. The assigned loan was secured by a security interest in
substantially all of the Company's assets. As discussed below, the
assignor was issued 2,976,000 shares of new common stock in
consideration of forgiving the $6.8 million outstanding loan.
On August 23, 1995, the Company filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. A Plan
of Reorganization was filed by the Company on October 30, 1995 and
subsequently amended and modified on February 22, 1996. On April 5,
1996, the creditors voted to accept the amended and modified Plan
(the "Plan"), and on May 23, 1996, the court confirmed the Plan. The
Plan was substantially consummated in August 1996. For accounting
purposes, the Company assumed that the Plan was consummated on July
31, 1996.
As contemplated by the Plan, a new company, Dynamic International,
Ltd. was formed on July 29, 1996. On August 8, 1996, the Company
merged into Dynamic International, Ltd. The capital structure and
the balance sheet of the combined entity, immediately after the
merger, were substantially the same as those of the company prior to
the merger. The "new common stock" is referred to below as the
common stock of Dynamic International, Ltd.
Chapter 11 claims filed against the Company and subsequently allowed
in the bankruptcy proceeding totaled approximately $17.2 million.
The Plan discharged such claims through distributions of cash of
approximately $515,000 and issuance of shares of new common stock.
The cash distributions were paid in August 1996. A total of
3,198,798 shares of new common stock were issued on July 25, 1996
out of which 2,976,000 shares were issued to one secured creditor,
which also satisfied $15,923 of loans made by the chief executive
officer of the Company to the Company (see Note 4); 160,000 shares
were issued to unsecured creditors, and

(continued)
2. REORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (cont'd)
62,798 shares were issued to the reconfirmation common stock equity
interest holders.
The discharge of claims was reflected in the April 30, 1996
financial statements. The stock distribution value is based on the
reorganization value of the Company determined by projecting cash
flows over an eleven year period and discounting such cash flows at
a cost of capital rate of 15% and the statutory federal, state and
local tax rates currently in effect. The discounted residual value
at the end of the forecast period is based on the capitalized cash
flows for the last year of that period. Cash distributions and the
estimated stock distribution value totaling $531,561 has been
recorded as other liabilities as of April 30, 1996. The gain of
approximately $16.7 million resulting from the excess of the allowed
claims over the total value of the cash and the common stock
distributed to the secured and unsecured creditors has been recorded
as an extraordinary gain for the year ended April 30, 1996.
The eleven year cash flow projection was based on estimates and
assumptions about circumstances and events that have not yet taken
place. Such estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to
significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies
beyond the control of the Company, including, but not limited to
those with respect to the future courses of the Company's business
activity. Accordingly, there will usually be differences between
projections and actual results because events and circumstances
frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be
material.
As part of the reorganization, the Company will continue to sell
hand exercise, light exercise equipment and luggage and sports bags,
all of which have a proven market acceptance. Management believes it
can increase revenues by increasing its focus on direct response
marketing. Therefore, it intends to develop plans to use
infomercials to market these products. Management believes these
increased marketing efforts, adequate financing through its related
entity, Achim Importing, discontinuance of the unprofitable
products, and sustainable gross profit percentages, can be
effectively implemented within the next twelve months. The Company
adopted "fresh-start reporting" in accordance with Statement of
Position ("SOP") 90-7 issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants on July 31, 1996. SOP 90-7 calls for the adoption
of "fresh-start reporting" if the reorganization value of the
emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less
than the total of all postpetition and allowed claims, and if
holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation
receive less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging
entity, both conditions of which were satisfied by the Company.
Although the confirmation date was May 23, 1996, fresh-start
reporting was adopted on July 31, 1996. There were no material
fresh-start related adjustments during the period May 23, 1996 to
July 31, 1996.
Under fresh start accounting, all assets and liabilities are
restated to reflect their reorganization value, which approximates
book value at date of reorganization. Therefore, no reorganization
value has been allocated to the assets and liabilities. In addition,
the accumulated deficit of the predecessor company at July 31, 1996
totaling $713,601 was eliminated, and at August 1, 1996, the
reorganized company's financial statements reflected no beginning
retained earnings or deficit. The reorganization value in excess of
amounts allocable to identifiable assets is being amortized over an
eleven year period on the straight line method. Amortization expense
for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 was $9,108.

The other current liabilities adjustment is all comprised of loans
from MG Holdings Corp. to pay creditors pursuant to the
reorganization plan. The liability to the reorganized company is
$515,638.
3. INVENTORIES
If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of accounting had been used
by the Company, reported net income would have been decreased by
$294,000 in fiscal 1997. Net income would have been increased by
$263,000 in fiscal 1996, and the net loss would have been increased
by $246,000 in fiscal 1995. On a FIFO basis, reported year end
inventories would have increased by $24,000 in 1997, $318,000 in
1996 and $55,000 in 1995.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to a Warehouse and Service Agreement dated as of September
1, 1996 (the "Warehousing Agreement") between the Company and an
entity ("Related Party") owned by a major stockholder, the entity
performs certain administrative services on behalf of the Company.
Under the Warehousing Agreement, the entity assists, among other
things, in the maintenance of financial and accounting books and
records, in the preparation of monthly financial accounts receivable
aging schedules and other reports and in the performance of credit
checks on the Company's customers. In consideration for these
services, Achim receives an annual fee, payable monthly, calculated
at a percentage of the Company's invoiced sales originating at the
warehouse ranging from 4% of the invoiced sales under $30 million to
3% of sales of $60 million or more. For sales not originating at the
warehouse, Achim receives a service fee in the amount of 1.5% of the
Company's invoiced sales to customers and accounts located in the
United States if payment is made by letter of credit and 1% if such
customers and accounts are located outside the United States,
irrespective of manner of payment. In addition, under the
Warehousing Agreement, the entity provides warehousing services
consisting of receiving, shipping, and storing of the Company's
merchandise. The Company pays Achim a monthly fee of 3% of its
invoiced sales originating at the warehouse in connection with these
warehousing services performed by Achim under the Warehousing
Agreement.
The Warehousing Agreement has a term of two years and is
automatically renewable for additional one year periods unless
written notice of termination is given at least six months prior to
the commencement of a renewal period. During the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1997, the Company accrued approximately $458,488 in fees
under the Warehousing Agreement. Total warehousing and
administrative expenses charged to operations for the nine months
ended April 30, 1997 were approximately $364,000, for the three
months ended July 31, 1996 were approximately $95,000 and for the
year ended April 30, 1996 were approximately $164,000.
The Related Party also purchases inventory for the Company and
charges the Company for the invoiced amount of the inventory.
Loan payable to the related party totaled $1,059,785 at April 30,
1997. Such note is secured by all of the Company's assets. On August
30, 1996, loans and other payables, including accrued interest
totaling $1,205,109, were converted into the note payable. Interest
is charged at the

installments of principal and interest through August 5, 1998. At
April 30, 1997, the Company was in arrears in the amount of $274,273
consisting of principal and interest. On July 10, 1997, the note was
amended to allow the arrears and note payments to be deferred until
the consummation of the Company's contemplated public offering (see
Note 10) or the scheduled maturity of the note, whichever is
earlier. Annual maturities of the note at 9.25% interest per annum

was $16,746 and $19,924 for the year ended April 30, 1996.
Other amounts payable to the related party totaled $2,627,580 and
$2,129,893, respectively, at April 30, 1997 and 1996. Such amounts
represent unpaid inventory purchases and various fees due to the
related party. The amounts payable for the purchase of inventory
bears interest at the Citibank prime rate plus 1% from September
1996 to April, 1997 and the Citibank prime rate plus 3% prior to
September 1996. The prime rate used was 8.25% for the period
September 1996 to April 1997 and 8.5% for the period prior to
September 1996 . Interest expense charged to operations was $111,411
for the nine months ended April 30, 1997, $34,380 for the three
months ended July 31, 1996 and $115,004 for the year ended April 30,
1996. The weighted average interest rate at April 30, 1997 and 1996
was 9.25% and 11.5%, respectively.
5. INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach to determine
the extent of any deferred income taxes, as described in Statement
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board. This method gives consideration to the future tax
consequences associated with differences between financial statement
and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
(continued)
5. INCOME TAXES (cont'd)
The Company had a net loss for the three months ended July 31, 1996
and accordingly, the Company has no income tax provision or
liability for the period.
The Company has a net operating loss for the year ended April 30,
1995 of approximately $8,400,000 of which $1,200,000 was carried
back to prior years. The Company has filed prior year amended
returns to claim the net operating loss carryback which results in
refundable income taxes of approximately $287,000. As of April 30,
1997, the Company received $251,000 of the refundable income taxes.
The balance of $36,000 is included in prepaid and refundable income
taxes at April 30, 1997.
At April 30, 1996, the net operating loss carryforward totaled
approximately $19,500,000 of which approximately $16,700,000 will be
utilized by the Company in its final tax return for the period May
1, 1996 to August 8, 1996 (see Note 2 re: merger into Dynamic
International, Ltd.). Based on ownership changes resulting from the
reorganization (see Note 2), the balance of the net operating loss
carryforward is expected to be limited by the current provision of
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a. Capital Leases
The Company is the lessee of equipment under capital
leases expiring in various years through 1998.
In September 1995, the lessor of the Company's capital
leases agreed to forgive the balance of the unpaid lease
payments through September 1995 and to accept 60% of the
remaining balance of the lease payments. As a result,
the Company recognized $77,403 of income on the
adjustment of the lease term. Such income is included in
other income.
b. Operating Leases
Prior to August, 1995 the Company occupied space for its
sales, executive offices, assembly and storage
facilities under long term operating leases expiring
August 1998. The leases provided for additional payments
for insurance, taxes and other charges related to the
premises. As part of the bankruptcy proceeding, the
Company was discharged of the obligations of the leases.
In October 1995 the Company relocated its premises,
where the Company is charged warehousing fees and
administration fees based on sales volume (see Note 4).
Rent expense for the years ended April 30, 1996 and 1995
was $341,427 and $583,596.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (cont'd)
c. Royalty Obligations
The Company has entered into various royalty, licensing,
and commission agreements for products sold by the
Company. These agreements provide for minimum payments
and a percentage of specific product sales, over a
period of one to eight years. Royalty expense for the
nine months ended April 30, 1997 was approximately
$353,000, for the three months ended July 31, 1996 was
$94,000 and for the years ended April 30, 1996 and 1995
was approximately $275,000 and $779,000, respectively.
d. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
On September 26, 1996, the Defined Benefit Employees
Retirement Plan was terminated under a distress
termination approved by the United States Bankruptcy
Court. The defined benefit pension obligation prior to
the termination was $860,945. As part of the bankruptcy
proceeding, the obligation was settled for $38,743
resulting in a gain of $822,202 which is reflected in
the extraordinary gain on discharge of prepetition
liabilities for the year ended April 30, 1996.
e. 401(k) Plan
On January 1, 1990, the Company adopted a 401(k) plan.
The plan covers all eligible employees. Eligible
employees may contribute from 1% to 15% of their
salaries subject to the statutory maximum of $9,240 for
the 1995 and 1994 calendar years. The plan also provided
matching contributions by the Company of 25% of the
employees' contributions to a maximum contribution of 1%
of the employees' salaries. On May 31, 1996, the plan's
summary plan description was modified to make matching
contributions discretionary. No matching contributions
were made by the Company for the 1996 calendar year nor
will any be made by the 1997 calendar year.
The 401(k) expense amounted to $0 for the period May 1,
1996 to April 30, 1997 and $2,600 and $9,460 for the
years ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
f. Union Pension Plan
Certain union employees participate in a multiemployer
retirement plan sponsored by their union. The Company is
required to pay seven cents ($.07) per hour per employee
to the plan. The data available from administrators of
the multi- employer plan is not sufficient to determine
the accumulated benefit obligation, nor the net assets
attributable to the multiemployer plan in which Company
employees participate. As of October 1995, the Company
no longer has any union employees. For the years ended
April 30, 1996 and 1995 pension expenses for the union
employees were $3,745 and $1,680, respectively.
g. Litigation
In the normal course of its operations, the Company has
been named as a defendant in several product liability
lawsuits that in the opinion of management are not
material to the financial statements taken as a whole
and are substantially covered by the Company's product
liability insurance.

7. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
During the year ended April 30, 1996, sales to three major customers
were approximately 19%, 18%, and 14% ($1,359,000, $1,287,000 and
$1,001,000, respectively) of the Company's net sales. At April 30,
1996, accounts receivable from these customers totaled $465,506.
During the year ended April 30, 1995, sales to two major customers
were approximately 26% and 14% ($8,459,000 and $4,555,000,
respectively) of the Company's net sales. At April 30, 1995, there
were no accounts receivable from these customers. The Company sells
a limited amount to foreign customers. There were no material
receivables subject to foreign currency fluctuations.
During the nine months ended April 30, 1997 sales to major customers
were approximately $3,080,180. At April 30, 1997 accounts receivable
from these customers totaled $379,902. During the three months ended
July 31, 1996, sales to major customers were approximately $837,450.
At July 31, 1996, accounts receivable from these customers totaled
$548,726.
8. CREDIT RISK/FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Due to the nature of its business and the volume of sales activity,
the Company's cash balance occasionally exceeds the $100,000
protection of FDIC insurance. At April 30, 1997 there was no such
excess balance. At April 30, 1996 such excess balances totaled
approximately $207,000. The Company has not experienced any losses
and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from
cash and cash equivalents.
The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its
customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and,
as a consequence, believes that it does not have an accounts
receivable credit risk exposure beyond the allowance provided. The
Company does not require collateral or other security to support
financial instruments subject to credit risk.
The carrying amounts of short-term debt reported in the balance
sheets approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company's
long-term debt (including the current portion) also approximates its
carrying amount in the balance sheets based on the rates currently
available to the Company for similar debt with similar terms.
9. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
a. The Company's exercise products compete with products
marketed and sold by a number of companies. The
Company's main competitors in this area possess far
greater financial and other resources, including sales
forces, than the Company. However, the Company believes
that as a result of its ability to use trademark names
for which it pays royalties, it will be able to retain
its share of the market. Nevertheless, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to effectively
compete with these companies as well as with other
smaller entities.
The Company's luggage products compete with products
designed by a number of the largest companies in the
industry. The Company believes that because of its
concentration on the upscale lifestyle and more
specialized leisure market that are associated with its
use of trademark names, the Company will be able to
continue to grow its luggage business. Nevertheless,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to effectively compete with these companies as well as
with other smaller entities.

(continued)
9. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont'd)
b. Most of the Company's products are purchased from the
Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The Company believes
that, if necessary, it will be able to obtain its
products from firms located in other countries at
little, if any, additional expense. As a consequence,
the Company believes that an interruption in deliveries
by a manufacturer located in a particular country will
not have a material adverse impact on the business of
the Company. Nevertheless, because of political
instability in a number of the supply countries,
occasional import quotas and other restrictions on trade
or otherwise, there can be no assurance that the Company
will at all times have access to a sufficient supply of
merchandise.
10. OTHER ITEMS
a. Discontinued Products
In 1994, the Company added a new line of products
consisting primarily of treadmills and ski machines.
Sales of the treadmills and ski machines began in June
1994. The Company sold approximately $24,000,000 of
these products from June 1, 1994 to August 23, 1995.
Approximately $17,600,000 or 73% of these products were
shipped directly to consumers. Due to serious
manufacturing defects and poor construction of the
Company's products delivered by the Company's
manufacturers, primarily located in the People's
Republic of China, the Company was forced to allow
substantial chargebacks by its customers. Although,
pursuant to a written agreement, the manufacturers
acknowledged the defects and agreed to pay for returns
and to provide replacement goods at no cost, they
breached this agreement soon thereafter. As a result,
during April 1995, the Company issued credits to
customers for approximately $5,000,000 of the $7,487,000
of credits for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995. The
Company issued another $3,211,000 in credits for
defective merchandise during the fiscal year ended April
30, 1996.
The following table sets forth the financial statement
effect of the Company's line of treadmills and ski
machines for the periods indicated:

10. OTHER ITEMS (cont'd)
a. Discontinued Products (cont'd)
The sale of these products was discontinued in August
1995, and all inventory was disposed of by October 1995.
Currently, the Company does not believe that there will
be additional returns of these products or that any
claims relating thereto remain to be settled.
b. Public Offering
The Company is offering for public sale 1,200,000 units,
each consisting of one share of common stock, one Class
A Warrant and one Class B Warrant at $5.00 per unit.
Although no assurance can be given that the sale will be
successful, the Company intends to utilize the net
proceeds of approximately $4,920,000 for the repayment
of current debt, purchase of inventory, general
corporate services, and working capital.
Simultaneous with the public offering, the Company
intends to declare a one for five reverse stock split.
All share data for the reorganized Company has been
adjusted for the split.
The following supplementary earnings per share reflect
the repayment of indebtedness of $1,200,000 and the
resulting reduction of interest expense and increase in
net income as if it had taken place at the beginning of
the reorganization period.

c. Earn Out Agreement
In March 1997, the Company entered into an agreement
with Marton Grossman, the Company's chairman and
president which provides for the issuance to Mr.
Grossman an aggregate 2,000,000 shares of common stock
if the Company reaches certain earnings criteria as
follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
If the earning criteria is not met in any one of the
above years, but is cumulatively met in the subsequent
year, then the number of shares to be issued will be the
cumulative number of shares at that year end. Issuance
of the shares will result in compensation expense to the
Company. Compensation expense will be measured based on
the fair value of the shares at the time the performance
conditions are achieved. Determination will be based on
the best estimate of the outcome of the performance
condition. Compensation will be recognized in the
periods in which the performance conditions are
achieved.

10. OTHER ITEMS (cont'd
d. Consulting Agreement
The Company anticipates entering into a two year
consulting agreement with the underwriter to provide
financial consulting services for a fee of $20,000.
e. Underwriter's Purchase Warrants
As part of the consideration of its services in
connection with the registration statement, the Company
has agreed to issue to the underwriter, for nominal
consideration, warrants to purchase up to 120,000 units
at an exercise price of $8.25 per unit for a period of
five years. The Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants
underlying the units included in the underwriter's
warrants will be exercisable at a price of $9.90 and
$16.50 per share, respectively, or 165% of the then
exercise price of the warrants offered to the public for
a period of five years commencing with the closing of
the registration statement. The non-cash cost of such
warrants, representing a cost of raising capital, will
be recorded as a charge and credit to additional paid-in
capital when the warrants are issued. As capital in
nature, they are not compensatory.
f. Underwriter Option
The Company has granted the underwriter an option
exercisable for 45 days from the effective date of the
registration statement to purchase up to 180,000 units
at the public offering price less the underwriting
discounts.
11. AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS
a. The FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfer
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities" in June of 1996. SFAS No. 125 provides
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of
liabilities. SFAS No. 125 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years occurring after
December 31, 1996 and is to be applied prospectively.
The Company does not have transactions which come under
the general heading of "Transfers of Servicing of
Financial Assets," and the added refinements for
"Extinguishment of Debt" are not expected to be
significant. Therefore, SFAS 125 is not expected to have
any effect on the Company.
b. The FASB has issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
and FASB No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About
Capital Structure." Both are effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the computation of earning
per share by replacing the presentation of primary
earnings per share with a presentation of basic earnings
per share. The statement requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share by entities with
complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share
include no dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of
securities that could share in the earnings of an entity
similar to fully diluted earnings per share.

11. AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS (cont'd)
b. While the Company has not analyzed SFAS No. 128
sufficiently to determine its long- term impact on per
share reported amounts, SFAS No. 128 should not have a
significant effect on historically reported per share
loss amounts.
SFAS No. 129 does not change any previous disclosure
requirements but, rather, consolidates existing
disclosure requirements for ease of retrieval.
c. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" and SFAS 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". Both
are effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will
adopt both statements on May 1, 1998. Adoption is not
expected to have a material impact on the financial
position and results of operations.
12. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements as of July 31, 1997 and for the three
months ended July 31, 1997 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial statements for the interim period have been made. The
results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or
director shall have any personal liability for damages as a result of breach of
fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except (i) for acts or omissions that
involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the
payment of distributions in violation of law. Article 10 of the Registrant's
By-Laws provides that:
"(a) Any person made a party to any action, suit or
proceeding, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate
representative is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation, or of any Corporation in which he served as such at the
request of the Corporation, shall be indemnified by the Corporation
against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, actually
and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense of such
action, suit or proceedings, or in connection with any appeal therein
that such officer, director or employee is liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duties.
(b) The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which any officer or director or
employee may be entitled apart from the provisions of this section.
(c) The amount of indemnity to which any officer or any
director may be entitled shall be fixed by the Board of Directors,
except that in any case where there is no disinterested majority of
the Board available, the amount shall be fixed by arbitration pursuant
to then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association."
Sections 78.751 and 78.752 of the Nevada Revised Statutes are set
forth below:
II-1
<PAGE> 78
78.751. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents;
advancement of expenses.
1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative,
except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in
a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interest of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any
claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable
to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless
and only to the extent that he court in which the action or suit was brought or
other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view
of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent
that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or
advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The
determination must be made:
(a) By the stockholders;
(b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent
legal counsel in a written quorum opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion.
2. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by
the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and director incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court
pursuant to this section:
II-2
<PAGE> 79
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the
articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an
action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while
holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a
court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made
pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any
director or officer if a final adjudication established that his acts
or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person.
78.752. Insurance and other financial arrangements against liability
of directors, officers, employees and agents.
1. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other
financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any
liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his
capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status
as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him
against such liability and expenses.
2. The other financial arrangements made by the corporation pursuant
to subsection 1 may include the following:
(a) The creation of a trust fund.
(b) The establishment of a program of self-insurance.
(c) The securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a
security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation.
(d) The establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety.
No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide
protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction,
after exhaustion of all appeal therefrom, to be liable for intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect
to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.
3. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a
person pursuant to this section may be provided by the corporation of any other
person approved by the board of directors, even if all or part of the other
person's stock or other securities is owned by the corporation.
4. In the absence of fraud:
(a) The decision of the board of directors as to the propriety of the
terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement
made pursuant to this section and the choice of the person to provide
the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and
(b) The insurance or other financial arrangement:
(1) Is not void or voidable; and
II-3
<PAGE> 80
(2) Does not subject any director approving it to personal liability
for his action,
even if a director approving the insurance or other financial
arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.
5. A corporation or its subsidiary which provides self-insurance for
itself or for another affiliated corporation pursuant to this section is not
subject to the provisions of Title 57 of NRS.
The Registrant may also purchase and maintain insurance for the
benefit of any director or officer which may cover claims for which the
Registrant could not indemnify such persons.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In August and September 1996 Registrant issued an aggregate of
approximately 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock to existing shareholders and to
its creditors in settlement of claims under the Plan of Reorganization that was
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court in May 1996. The issuances were exempt from
registration under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Also during August and September 1996, Registrant, in connection with
its merger with Dynamic Classics, Ltd., Registrant's predecessor corporation
("DCL"), issued shares of Common Stock in exchange for all issued and
outstanding shares of DCL Common Stock. The capital structure and balance sheet
of the combined entity were substantially identical to those of the DCL prior to
the merger. As a result, the issuances pursuant to this exchange were exempt
from registration under Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) Include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Company under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the
Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of
the time it was declared effective.
II-6
<PAGE> 83
That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
The Company will provide to the Underwriter at the closing specified
in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered
in such names as required by the Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.

<PAGE> 2
Except as specifically otherwise provided herein, the Common Stock
and the Warrants issued pursuant to this Option shall bear the same terms and
conditions as described under the caption "Description of Securities" in the
Registration Statement (File #333-25425-NY, declared effective , 1997
and the Warrants shall be governed by the terms of the Warrant Agreement dated
as of , 1997 executed in connection with such public offering (the
"Warrant Agreement"), and except that (i) the holder hereof shall have
registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
for the Option, the Common Stock and the Warrants included in the Units, and the
shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, as more fully described in
paragraph 6 of this Option, and (ii) the exercise price for the Class A Warrants
included in this Option is $9.90 and the exercise price for the Class B Warrants
is $16.50 and (iii) the Warrants expire five (5) years from date hereof. In the
event of any reduction of the exercise price of the Warrants included in the
Public Units, the same changes to the Warrants included in the Option Units
shall be simultaneously effected.
1. NOTICE OF EXERCISE. Notice of intention to exercise any of the purchase
rights evidenced by this option must be given by written notice addressed to the
Company at its principal office or by written notice addressed to its duly
designated and acting agent, if any, at least ten (10) days prior to any
intended exercise. Such notice shall specify the date on which purchase rights
are to be exercised and the number of shares of units to be purchased on that
date.
2. EXERCISE OF OPTION. On or before the date of exercise specified in such
notice, the holder shall surrender this warrant (in negotiable form, if not
surrendered by the holder named above) to the principal office of the Company,
or to that of its duly designated and acting agent with the exercise form
attached to this duly signed together with the purchase price of the Units
represented by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company.
3. DELIVERY OF STOCK AND WARRANT CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this option and payment of the purchase
price,and in any event no later than ten (10) days thereafter, the Company or
its duly designated and acting agent, if any, will cause to be issued in the
name of and delivered to the holder hereof, or such holder's nominee or
nominees, certificates for the number of full shares of the Common Stock and
Warrants of the Company to which such holder shall be entitled upon such
exercise. In case, between the date of such exercise and the date on which such
certificates are issued, the record holder of the common stock shall become
entitled to any dividend or other right, the Company will forthwith pay or cause
to be paid in cash to the holder hereof the amount of such dividend, or transfer
to the holder hereof such rights, as the case may be. No fraction of a share or
scrip certificate for such a fraction shall be issued upon the exercise of this
warrant; in lieu thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such
holder cash equal to a like fraction at the then prevailing market price for
such share as determined by the Company.
4. PARTIAL EXERCISE OF A WARRANT. In case this option shall be exercised
for less than the full number of Units, to which the holder is entitled, the
Company at its expense will issue, or will cause to be issued and delivered to
the holder hereof, a new
2
<PAGE> 3
option of like tenor issued in said holder's name, calling for the number of
Units, for which the surrendered option shall not have been exercised.
5. DIVIDENDS IN STOCK, PROPERTY, RECLASSIFICATIONS. In case at any time or
from time to time the holders of the common stock of the Company (or any other
shares of stock or other securities at that time receivable upon exercise of
this option) shall have received, or as of a record date shall have become
entitled to receive other or additional or less stock or other securities or
property (other than cash) without payment therefore (whether through a dividend
in stock of any class of stock of the Company or any other corporation, or a
dividend in any securities or property other than cash, or through stock split,
spin-off, reclassification, combination of shares or otherwise), then and in
each such case the holder of this option upon the exercise thereof and upon the
payment of the sum obtained by multiplying (a) the number shares of common stock
of the Company issuable upon exercise of this option by (b) the purchase price
of $8.25 per Unit stated on the face of this option, shall be entitled to
receive, in lieu of the Units called for hereby, the stock or other securities
or property which said holder would hold on the date of such exercise, if, from
the date hereof to and including such date, he had been the holder of record of
the number of shares of the common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise
of this option and had retained such shares and all such other or additional or
less stock and other securities and property receivable in respect of such
shares. In case of the partial exercise of this warrant under such
circumstances, the number of shares of stock which would have been receivable
upon the full exercise of this warrant, computed as provided above, shall be
proportionately reduced. Similar adjustments shall be made for the Warrants.
6. REORGANIZATIONS, CONSOLIDATIONS, MERGERS. In case of any reorganization
of the Company, or any other corporation, the stock or securities of which are
at the time deliverable on the exercise of this option, or in case the Company
or such other corporation shall consolidate with or merge into another
corporation, or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation, the holder of this option, upon the exercise hereof and upon the
payment of sum obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of the Company
issuable upon exercise of this warrant by (b) the purchase price of $8.25 per
Unit stated on the face of this option, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of
the shares theretofore called for hereby, the stock or other securities or
property to which such holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance if he had purchased the
shares called for hereby immediately prior thereto; and in such case, the
provisions of this option shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other
securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this option.
In the case of the partial exercise of this option under such circumstances, the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property which would have been
receivable upon the full exercise of this warrant, and the sum payable
therefore, shall be proportionately reduced.
7. WARRANT AGENT. Whenever an event occurs which requires an adjustment of
the shares of stock, securities or other property which the holder of this
option upon the exercise thereof is entitled to receive, the Company will file
promptly with the duly designated and acting warrant agent, if any, a
certificate signed by the president or a vice president of the Company, and by
the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company, setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the number and character of
the shares of stock, or other securities or property which the holder of this
3
<PAGE> 4
warrant upon the exercise thereof shall be entitled to receive after such
adjustment in lieu of each Share called for hereby. The duly designated and
acting warrant agent may rely conclusively on such certificates and the
correctness of such adjustment without further investigation and shall be under
no duty or responsibility with respect to such certificate except to exhibit it
from time to time to any warrant holder desiring an inspection thereof.
8. EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS. Upon the surrender by any holder of any option or
options at the principal office of the Company or at that of its duly designated
and acting warrant agent (in negotiable form if not surrendered by the holder
named on the face thereof), the Company or its duly designated warrant agent
will issue and deliver to, or on the order of such holder, at the Company's
expense, a new option or options in the name of such holder or as such holder
(upon the payment of such holder of any applicable transfer tax) may direct, in
such authorized denomination or denominations as such holder may request,
evidencing the rights to purchase an aggregate amount of units equal to the
aggregate amount of Shares which the option or options so surrendered evidenced
the right to purchase.
9. LOST, STOLEN, DESTROYED OR MUTILATED OPTIONS. Upon receipt by the
Company or its duly designated and acting agent, if any, of evidence
satisfactory (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) to each of them of the
ownership of and the loss, theft or destruction or mutilation of any Unit
Purchase Option and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) or indemnity
satisfactory (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) to each of them, and (in
the case of mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company
or its duly designated and acting agent will issue and deliver, in lieu thereof,
a new Unit Purchase Option of like tenor.
10. NEGOTIABILITY. This option is issued upon the following terms and
conditions, to all of which each taker or owner hereof consents and agrees (a)
title to this option may be transferred by endorsement and delivery in the same
manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and
delivery; (b) any person in possession of this option properly endorsed is
authorized to represent himself as absolute owner hereof and is granted power to
transfer absolute title hereto by endorsement and delivery hereof to a bona fide
purchaser hereof for value; each prior taker or owner waives and renounces all
of his equities or rights in this warrant in favor of each such bona fide
purchaser, and every such bona fide purchaser shall acquire absolute title
hereof and all rights represented hereof by; and (c) the Company or its duly
designated and acting agent, if any, may treat the holder of the warrant
properly endorsed as absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being
affected by any notice to the contrary.
11. MISCELLANEOUS. This option shall not be valid for any purpose unless
signed by an authorized officer of the Company and countersigned by the duly
designated and acting agent, if any. This option does not confer upon the holder
any right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of the
Company.
12. HEADINGS. The headings in this warrant are for purposes of reference
only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
4
<PAGE> 5
13. EXPIRATION. This option will be wholly void and of no effect after
3:00 PM, New York local time, on , 2002.
14. RESTRICTIONS. This option is originally issued by way of additional

8. Exercise; Redemption.
a. Each Warrant represented by a Warrant Certificate may be
exercised during the Warrant Exercise Period, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Certificate. A Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the

with the appropriate exercise form thereon duly executed by the Registered
Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, together with
payment in cash, or by official bank or certified check made payable to the
Company, of an amount equal to the Purchase Price has been timely received by
the Warrant Agent. Payment must be made in United Sates funds. The person
entitled to receive the securities deliverable upon such exercise shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of such securities as of the close of
business on the Exercise Date. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any
fractional share interests or fractional warrant interests upon the exercise of
any Warrants. Computations resulting in the issuance of fractional shares be
rounded to the nearest whole share. As soon as practicable on or after the
Exercise Date and in any event within 10 days after having received
authorization from the Company, the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company,
shall cause to be issued to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a
certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock, and the Warrant
Agent shall deliver the same to the person or persons entitled thereto. No
adjustment shall be made in respect of cash dividends on any shares delivered
upon exercise of any Warrant. Upon the exercise of any Warrants, the Warrant
Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such fact and of the
number of securities delivered upon such exercise and shall cause all payments
of an amount in cash or check made payable to the order of the Company, equal to
the Purchase Price, less any Warrant solicitation fee, as hereinafter described.
b. If at any time (i) the market price of the Company's Common
Stock is equal to or greater than the then Purchase Price of the Warrant, (ii)

the Underwriter is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD"), (iii) the Warrant is not held in a discretionary account, (iv)
disclosure of the compensation arrangement is made in documents provided to the
holders of the Warrants; and (v) the solicitation of the exercise of the Warrant
is not in violation of Rule 10b-6 (as such rule or any successor rule may be in
effect as of such time of exercise) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, then the Underwriter shall be entitled to receive from the Company
upon exercise of each of the Warrant(s) so exercised a fee of eight percent (8%)
of the aggregate price of the Warrants so exercised (the "Exercise Fee"). The
procedures for payment of the warrant solicitation fee are set forth in
subparagraph (c) below.
5
<PAGE> 6
c. (1) Within five (5) days of the last day of each month
commencing with ________ 1998 [one year anniversary of IPO month], the Warrant
Agent will notify the Underwriter of each Warrant Certificate which has been
properly completed for exercise by holders of Warrants during the last month.
The Company and Warrant Agent shall determine, in their sole and absolute
discretion, whether a Warrant Certificate has been properly completed. The
Warrant Agent will provide the Underwriter with such information, in connection
with the exercise of each Warrant, as the Underwriter shall reasonably request.
(2) The Company hereby authorizes and instructs the
Warrant Agent to deliver to the Underwriter the Exercise Fee promptly after
receipt by the Warrant Agent from the Company of a check payable to the order of
the Underwriter in the amount of the Exercise Fee. The Warrant Agent shall not
issue the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until
receipt and forwarding of such check to the Underwriter. In the event that an
Exercise Fee is paid to the Underwriter with respect to a Warrant which the
Company or the Warrant Agent determines is not properly completed for exercise
or in respect of which the Underwriter is not entitled to an Exercise Fee, the
Underwriter will promptly return such Exercise Fee to the Warrant Agent which
shall forthwith return such fee to the Company.
The Underwriter and the Company may at any time, after __________,
1998 [one year anniversary of IPO month], and during business hours, examine the
records of the Warrant Agent, including its ledger of original Warrant
certificates returned to the Warrant Agent upon exercise of Warrants.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the provisions of this paragraph
and of subparagraph (b) above may not be modified, amended or deleted without
the prior written consent of the Underwriter.
d. The Warrants may be redeemed at any time during the
exercise period by the Company, on not less than 30 or more than 60 days' prior
written notice to all Registered Holders of the Warrants, at a redemption price
of $.01 per Warrant, if the last reported sale price, or if not published, the
average closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) (or a
national securities exchange or the National Quotation Bureau or the OTC
Bulletin Board, as the case may be) is at least $9.00 for the Class A Warrants
and $15.00 for the Class B Warrants for any 10 trading days within a period of
30 consecutive trading days ending five (5) days prior to the date of the
written notice of redemption. All Warrants must be redeemed if any are redeemed.
e. If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, the price
at which such Warrants are to be redeemed shall not be paid to any Warrant
holder unless the certificates representing such Warrants are surrendered to the
6
<PAGE> 7
Corporate Office within the redemption period specified in the Company's notice
to Registered Holders. At the end of any such redemption period respecting
Warrants called for redemption, any Warrants not exercised or tendered for
redemption shall expire and the certificate(s) therefor shall become void.
9. Reservation of Shares; Listing; Payment of Taxes, Etc.
a. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
issue upon exercise of Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company
covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise
of Warrants shall be duly and validly issued any fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof,
and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each national securities
exchange or automated quotation system, if any, on which the other shares of
outstanding Common Stock of the Company are then listed.
b. If any Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of
Warrants hereunder requires registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any federal or state law, before such securities may be validly
issued or delivered upon such exercise, then the Company covenants that it will
in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such
registration or approval, as the case may be; provided, however, that the
Company need not endeavor to seek such registration or approval in a state in
which the Warrants were not sold by the Company pursuant to the registration
statement unless an exemption from registration under such state's laws is
available; provided, further, that Warrants may not be exercised by, or shares
of Common Stock issued to, any Registered Holder in any state in which such
exercise would be unlawful.
c. The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar
taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the
issuance of Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any shares upon exercise of
Warrants; provided, however, that if shares of Common Stock are to be delivered
in a name other than the name of the Registered Holder of the Warrant
Certificate representing any Warrant being exercised, then no such delivery
shall be made unless the person requesting the same has paid to the Warrant
Agent the amount of transfer taxes or charges incident thereto, if any.
d. The Warrant Agent, unless it is acting as such, is hereby
irrevocably authorized to requisition the Company's Transfer Agent from time to
time for certificates representing shares of Common Stock required upon exercise
of the Warrants, and the Company will authorize its Transfer Agent to comply
with
7
<PAGE> 8
all such requisitions. The Company will file with the Warrant Agent a statement
setting forth the name and address of its Transfer Agent for shares of Common
Stock or other capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and of each
successor Transfer Agent.
10. Exchange and Registration of Transfer.
a. Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for other Warrant
Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants or may be
transferred in whole or in part. Warrant Certificates to be so exchanged shall
be surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Office, accompanied by an
Assignment, when necessary, and the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent
shall countersign, issue and deliver in exchange therefor the Warrant
Certificate(s) which the Registered Holder shall be entitled to receive.
b. The Warrant Agent shall keep at such office, books in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall
register Warrant Certificates and the transfer thereof. Upon due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Warrant Certificate at such office, the Company
shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall issue and deliver to the transferee or
transferees a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing an equal
aggregate number of Warrants.
c. With respect to all Warrant Certificates presented for
registration or transfer, or for exchange or exercise, the subscription form on
the reverse thereof shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer and subscription, in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Registered Holder
thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.
d. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed upon any
exchange, registration or transfer of any Warrant Certificates.
e. All Warrant Certificates surrendered for exercise or for
exchange in case of mutilated Warrant Certificates shall be promptly canceled by
the Warrant Agent and thereafter retained by the Warrant Agent until termination
of the agency.
f. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer
thereof the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered
Holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof and of each
Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or
writing
8
<PAGE> 9
thereon made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for all
purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
11. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant
Agent of evidence satisfactory to them of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and (in the case of loss,
theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to them, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company shall execute
and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver a new Warrant Certificate
representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants. Applicants for a substitute
Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
pay such other reasonable charges as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
a. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.
b. Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as
hereinafter provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date
hereof issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or
sales referred to in subparagraph (g) of this section 8), including shares held
in the Company's treasury and shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of
any options, rights or warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock and
shares of Common Stock issued upon the direct or indirect conversion or exchange
of securities for shares of Common Stock, for a consideration per share less
than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale of
such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith upon such issuance or
sale, the Purchase Price shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced
to the price (calculated to the nearest full cent) equal to the quotient derived
by dividing (i) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such
shares, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance or sale, and (b) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if
any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale, by (ii) the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or
sale; provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchase Price be adjusted
pursuant to this computation to an amount in excess of the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such computation, except in the case of a
combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as provided by subparagraph
(c) of this section 8.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with
this subparagraph (a), the following provisions shall be applicable:
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount
of the cash consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash
received
9
<PAGE> 10
by the Company for such shares (or, if shares of Common Stock are offered by the
Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if either of such
securities shall be sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without
a subscription offering, the initial public offering price) before deducting
therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the sale, underwriting or
purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others performing similar
services, or any expenses incurred in connection therewith.
(ii) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than
as a dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company) of shares of
Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash,
the amount of the consideration therefor other than cash shall be deemed to be
the value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company and shall include any amounts payable to security
holders or any affiliates thereof, including without limitation, pursuant to any
employment agreement, royalty, consulting agreement, covenant not to compete,
earnout or contingent payment right or similar arrangement, agreement or
understanding, whether oral or written; all such amounts being valued for the
purposes hereof at the aggregate amount payable thereunder, whether such
payments are absolute or contingent, and irrespective of the period or
uncertainty of payment, the rate of interest, if any, or the contingent nature
thereof.
(iii) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of
dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to
have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without
consideration.
(iv) The reclassification of securities of the Company
other than shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common
Stock shall be deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for
a consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on
the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive
such shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of
Common Stock shall be determined as provided in subparagraph (a) of this section
8.
(v) The number of shares of Common Stock at any
one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or
issuable (subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the
exercise of options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
10
<PAGE> 11
c. Options, Rights, Warrants and Convertible and Exchangeable
Securities. In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue
options, rights or warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue
any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, for
a consideration per share less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to the issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or such convertible
or exchangeable securities, or without consideration, the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to the issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or
such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, shall be
reduced to a price determined by making a computation in accordance with the
provisions of subparagraph (a) of this section 8., provided that:
(i) The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock, as the case may be, issuable under such options, rights or
warrants shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding at the time such options,
rights or warrants were issued, and for a consideration equal to the minimum
purchase price per share provided for in such options, rights or warrants at the
time of issuance, plus the consideration (determined in the same manner as
consideration received on the issue or sale of shares in accordance with the
terms of the Warrants), if any, received by the Company for such options, rights
or warrants.
(ii) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable
securities shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding at the time of issuance
of such securities, and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the same manner as consideration received on the issue or sale of
shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrants) received by
the Company for such securities, plus the minimum consideration, if any,
receivable by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof.
(iii) If any change shall occur in the price per share
provided for in any of the options, rights or warrants referred to in
subparagraph (i) of section 8(b), or in the price per share at which the
securities referred to in subparagraph (ii) of this section 8(b) are convertible
or exchangeable, such options, rights or warrants or conversion or exchange
rights, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have expired or terminated on the
date when such price change became effective in respect of shares not
theretofore issued pursuant to the exercise or conversion or exchange thereof,
and the Company shall be deemed to have issued upon such date new options,
rights or warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities at the new price in
respect of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such options,
rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of such convertible or
exchangeable securities, provided, however, in no
11
<PAGE> 12
event shall the adjustment provide the Holder with any greater rights arising
from consecutive adjustments than if the last adjustment occurred initially.
d. Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall at
any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
e. Adjustment in Number of Securities. Upon each adjustment of
the Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this section 8, the number of
securities issuable upon the exercise at the adjusted Purchase Price of each
Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full amount by multiplying a number
equal to the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted
Purchase Price.
f. Definition of Common Stock. For the purpose of this
Agreement, the term "Common Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated
as Common Stock in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as may be
amended as of the date hereof, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from
successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely
of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
to par value. In the event that the Company shall after the date hereof issue
securities with greater or superior voting rights than the shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of the date hereof, the Registered Holder, at its option,
may receive upon exercise of any Warrant either shares of Common Stock or a like
number of such securities with greater or superior voting rights.
g. Merger or Consolidation. In case of any consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the
corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to
the Registered Holder a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the holder
of each Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right
thereafter (until the expiration of such Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of
such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which such Warrant might have been
exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer.
Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be
identical to the adjustments provided in this section 8. The above provision of
this subsection shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

<PAGE> 13
h. No Adjustment of Purchase Price in Certain Cases. No
adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made:
(i) Upon the issuance or sale of the Warrants, the
shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; the securities issuable upon
the exercise of the Representative's warrants, and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of any of them;
(ii) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less
than two cents (2(cent)) per security, provided, however, that in such case any
adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount
to at least two cents (2(cent)) per security; or
(iii) Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to a Bonus Agreement between the Company and Marton Grossman.
(h) Dividends and Other Distributions. In the event that the
Company shall at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants fix a record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive (including any
such distribution made to the stockholders of the Company in connection with
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation in a
distribution to all holders of Common Stock) evidence of its indebtedness, cash,
or assets (other than distributions and dividends payable in shares of Common
Stock), or rights, options,or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock, or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of
Common Stock in a distribution to all holders of Common Stock, then, in each
case, the Purchase Price in effect at the time of such record date shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the market price per
share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) of the portion of the
evidence of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed, or such rights,
options, or warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities, or the amount
of cash, applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which
shall be the market price per share of Common Stock on such record date. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur and become effective at the close of business on such record date.

12. Concerning the Warrant Agent.
a. The Warrant Agent acts hereunder as agent and in a
ministerial capacity for the Company, and its duties shall be determined solely
by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not, by issuing and delivering
Warrant Certificates or by any other act hereunder, be deemed to make any
representations as to the validity or value or authorization of the Warrant
Certificates or the Warrants represented thereby or of any securities or other
property delivered upon exercise of any Warrant or whether any stock issued upon
exercise of any Warrant is fully paid and nonassessable.
b. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time (i) be liable for
any recital or statement of fact contained herein or for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in reliance on any Warrant Certificate or other
document or instrument believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, (ii) be responsible for
any failure on the part of the Company to comply with any of its covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate, or (iii)
be liable for any act or omission in connection with this Agreement except for
its own negligence or willful misconduct.
c. The Warrant Agent may at any time consult with counsel for
the Company and shall incur no liability or responsibility for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion or advice
of such counsel.
d. Any notice, statement, instruction, request, direction,
order or demand of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument
signed by its President, a Vice President, its Treasurer, an Assistant
Treasurer, its Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary (unless other evidence in
respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed). The Warrant Agent shall not
be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with
such notice, statement, instruction, request, direction, order or demand.
e. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent the usual and
customary compensation it normally receives for its services of this nature and
to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses hereunder; it further agrees to
indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all losses,
expenses and liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for
anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of its duties and
powers hereunder except those arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's
negligence or willful misconduct.
f. The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged
from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising
14
<PAGE> 15
as a result of the Warrant Agent's own negligence or willful misconduct), after
giving 30 days' prior written notice to the Company. At least 15 days prior to
the date such resignation is to become effective, the Warrant Agent shall cause
a copy of such notice of resignation to be mailed to each Registered Holder at
the Company's expense. Upon such resignation the Company shall appoint in
writing a new warrant agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such
resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent, then any Registered Holder may apply
in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant
agent. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new warrant agent
is received by the Company, such new warrant agent shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named
herein as the warrant agent, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or
deed; provided, however, that if for any reason it shall be necessary or
expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed,
the same shall be done at the expense of the Company and shall be legally and
validly executed and delivered by the resigning Warrant Agent. Not later than
the effective date of any such appointment the Company shall file notice thereof
with the resigning Warrant Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice
to be mailed to each Registered Holder.
g. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any new
warrant agent may be converted or merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be a
party or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
Warrant Agent shall be a successor warrant agent under this Agreement without
any further act, provided that such corporation is eligible for appointment as
successor to the Warrant Agent under the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession
as warrant agent to be mailed, at its expense, to the Company and to each
Registered Holder.
h. The Warrant Agent, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and any
of its or their officers or directors, may buy and hold or sell Warrants or
other securities of the Company and otherwise deal with the Company in the same
manner and to the same extent and with like effect as though it were not the
Warrant Agent. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in
any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
13. Modification of Agreement. The Warrant Agent and the Company may
by supplemental agreement make any changes or corrections in this Agreement (a)
that they shall deem appropriate to cure any ambiguity or to correct any
defective or inconsistent provision or manifest mistake or error herein
contained; or (b) that they may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not
adversely affect the interests of the holders of Warrant Certificates; provided,
however, that this Agreement shall not otherwise be modified, supplemented or
15
<PAGE> 16
altered in any respect except with the consent in writing of the Registered
Holders representing not less than 50% of the Warrants then outstanding;
provided, further, that no change shall be made in the terms or provisions of
any Warrant which would adversely affect such registered Holders, other than
such changes as are expressly permitted by this Agreement as originally
executed, without the consent in writing of the Registered Holders of the
Warrants affected.
14. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been

RE: WAREHOUSE AND SERVICE AGREEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 1, 1996
Gentlemen:
Both parties understand that letter-of-credit orders are almost exclusively
shipped from the manufacturer and are not shipped from any Achim location. This
holds true for sales to overseas customers as well.
Page 3 of the Agreement: 3. General Services Fee - Should be amended as follows:
(i) the percentages of Dynamic "invoices sales" in each year to
customers and accounts located within the United States, not
originating at the Achim warehouse and with respect to which
payment is to be made by letter of credit, as set forth below:
(ii) 1.5% of Dynamic's invoiced sales in each year to customers and
accounts located within the United States, not originating at
the Achim warehouse and with respect to which payment is to be
made by letter of credit; plus
(iii) 1.0% of Dynamic's invoiced sales in each year to customers and
accounts located outside the United States and not originating
at the Achim warehouse (irrespective of manner of payments).
Page 4 of the Agreement: 5: Warehouse Fee. In consideration for the Warehouse
Services, Dynamic shall pay to Achim, only for sales
originating at the Achim warehouse, a monthly fee (the
"Warehouse Services Fee") equal to three percent (3%)
of Dynamic's invoiced sales.
Please indicate your consent to the foregoing by countersigning a copy of this
letter and returning it to the undersigned.
Very truly yours,
By:_________________________________
