ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On May 27, 1999, Monogram International, Inc. f/k/a Monogram
Acquisition, Inc. ("Monogram") a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toymax
International, Inc. ("Toymax"), and other subsidiaries of Toymax (Monogram
Products (H.K.) Limited f/k/a Gallion Development Limited ("Monogram HK"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Toymax, and Monogram Acquisition I, LLC ("LLC,"
together with Monogram and Monogram HK, the "Buyers"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Monogram HK) acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities
of Burkett Enterprises, Inc. f/k/a Monogram International, Inc. ("Monogram
Enterprises") and Monogram Products, (H.K.) Limited ("Products," together with
Monogram Enterprises, the "Sellers"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monogram
Enterprises, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"),
dated April 19, 1999.

         The Sellers are leading designers, manufacturers and marketers of gift,
novelty and souvenir products sold globally. The consideration for the
acquisition was $6,000,000 paid in cash to the Sellers (the "Initial Payment")
plus up to $9,000,000 payable to the Sellers after the closing if certain
contingencies occur.

         Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, among
other things, the Buyers agreed to assume certain liabilities of Monogram
Enterprises. In furtherance thereof, Monogram and LLC agreed to jointly and
severally assume Monogram Enterprises' short term indebtedness to SunTrust Bank
Tampa Bay ("SunTrust") consisting of two (2) promissory notes aggregating
$3,839,122.32 as of the date of acquisition. The obligations of Monogram and LLC
with respect to the debts are secured by a guaranty executed and delivered by
Toymax.

         A portion of the Initial Payment was an advance of funds from a
subsidiary of Toymax and the remainder of the funds required came out of the
working capital of another subsidiary of Toymax.

         In connection with the acquisition, Monogram entered into employment
agreements with Charles Burkett, former President of Monogram Enterprises, and
several other key executives of Monogram Enterprises. In addition, substantially
all of the former employees of Monogram Enterprises were hired by Monogram.

         Toymax incorporates by reference herein the matters announced in
Toymax's press release dated May 27, 1999 (such press release is filed as
Exhibit 99.1).

          UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following unaudited pro-forma condensed combined financial
information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of
Toymax International, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Toymax" or the "Company") and
Monogram International, Inc. and Subsidiary ("Monogram") and has been prepared
to illustrate the effects of the acquisition as though it had occurred as of the
beginning of the period (April 1, 1998) presented for the pro-forma condensed
combined statement of operations and as if it had occurred on March 31, 1999 for
the pro-forma condensed combined balance sheet. The unaudited pro-forma
condensed combined statement includes Monogram's Balance Sheet as of December
31, 1998 and results of operations, for the year ended December 31, 1998.

         The pro-forma adjustments include, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to give pro-forma effect to the acquisition as though such
transactions had occurred as of the beginning of the period (April 1, 1998)
presented for the pro-forma condensed combined statement of operations and as if
they had occurred on March 31, 1999 for the pro-forma condensed combined balance
sheet.

         The unaudited pro-forma condensed combined financial information is
not necessarily indicative of how Toymax's balance sheet and results of
operations would have been presented had this acquisition actually been
consummated at the assumed dates, nor is the presentation necessarily
indicative of Toymax's balance sheet and results of operations for any future
period. The unaudited pro-forma condensed combined financial information
should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

         The pro-forma adjustments are based upon available information. These
adjustments are directly attributable to the acquisition and are expected to
have a continuing impact on Toymax's business, results of operations and
financial position. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, pursuant to which the estimated purchase cost of the
acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities
acquired based upon their estimated fair values. The final allocation of the
purchase price will be based upon the fair values of the acquired assets and the
assumed liabilities on the date the transaction closed, May 27, 1999.

                   MONOGRAM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Monogram International, Inc. (the Company) is a Largo, Florida, based business
organized to design, manufacture and market a variety of impulse gifts, toys and
souvenir products to independent gift shops and mass market retailers, as well
as the jobbers and wholesalers who service these markets. In addition, the
Company develops and manufactures custom promotional products for theme parks
and private label premium products for specialty advertisements and promotions
for corporate clients.

The major portion of the Company's operations is the design, development,
marketing and sale of licensed products under various licenses with the Walt
Disney Company, Warner Brothers and others.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

On January 1, 1998, the Company paid approximately $21,000 to obtain a 100
percent ownership in Monogram Products (HK) Limited (Monogram Hong Kong), a
company incorporated in Hong Kong and subject to the laws and taxes of that
jurisdiction. Accordingly, the 1998 consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

START-UP COSTS

One-time, nonrecurring and incremental out-of-pocket expenditures, directly
related to and incurred during the start-up phase of entering the duty-free
market, were deferred and amortized over future periods. Upon conclusion of the
start-up period, which occurred in December 1996, these costs are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Recoverability of these
costs is assessed on an ongoing basis and write-downs to net realizable values
are recorded as necessary. At December 31, 1998, approximately $69,000 of
start-up costs, consisting primarily of amounts paid
<PAGE>

to consultants in connection with the acquisition of new license agreements,
were reported as other assets.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company is engaged in two primary business segments, novelty toy
distribution to independent retailers and theme parks from domestic operations
(Domestic) and direct shipment of impulse items from Hong Kong to mass market
retailers (Orient).

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

Sales to one customer accounted for approximately 18 percent of revenues for the
year ended December 31, 1998.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consists of receivables from distributors, retailers and
mass merchandisers, primarily located in the United States.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined
using the first-in, first-out method. If the cost of the inventories exceeds
their market value, provisions are made currently for the difference between the
cost and the market value.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets, principally using the straight-line
method. Depreciation expense of approximately $550,000 and $210,000 is included
in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is organized as a small business corporation under the provisions of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the accompanying
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings do not include a
provision for income taxes. All income or loss is reported through the
stockholders' personal
<PAGE>

tax returns. The tax returns and the amount of taxable income are subject to
examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examinations result
in changes to taxable income, the tax liabilities of the stockholders could be
changed accordingly.

Monogram Hong Kong was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to the statutory
tax laws of that jurisdiction. As such, operations of Monogram Hong Kong are not
reported on the individual tax returns of the Company's stockholders. At
December 31, 1998, Monogram Hong Kong had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards
of approximately $7,100. These NOL carryforwards expire through December 31,
1999. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance for the full
amount of the Hong Kong carryforwards has been established due to the
uncertainty of their ultimate realization.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per
common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and the
diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares, plus the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period. The Company did not have any dilutive securities outstanding during
1998. Therefore, there is no difference between the basic and dilutive weighted
average number of common shares.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions from
time to time 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 and
assumptions.

2.       INVENTORIES:

Inventories were as follows as of December 31, 1998:

8.       RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company leased a portion of its office, manufacturing and warehouse
facilities under an agreement with a partnership in which the Company's
stockholders had a 50 percent interest. The agreement required the Company to
pay all costs related to the buildings, including real estate taxes, insurance,
utilities and repairs. In 1998, the Company's stockholders sold their interest
in the facilities to an unrelated party. Total rent expense to related parties
under this agreement before the sale was approximately $86,000 in 1998.

The Company leased the remaining office, manufacturing and warehouse facilities
under an agreement with a corporation, in which the Company's stockholders and
their family had 100 percent ownership interest. The lease required the Company
to pay all costs related to the building, exclusive of real estate taxes. In
1998, the Company's stockholders sold their interest in the facilities to an
unrelated party. Rent expense to related parties under this agreement before the
sale totaled approximately $40,000 in 1998.

A stockholder of the Company is also a stockholder in Point East Ltd. (Point
East), a Hong Kong company. During 1998, the Company purchased inventories and
tools and dies from Point East totaling approximately $2.5 million. In 1998,
Point East also received management fees from Monogram Hong Kong in the amount
of approximately $27,000.

payable agreement, and have personally guaranteed borrowings totaling
approximately $4,106,000 as of December 31, 1998.

9.       DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN:

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees. The plan
allows qualified employees to defer a portion of their salary into the plan in
accordance with current Internal Revenue Service guidelines. The plan allows for
discretionary contribution to be made by the Company to the plan. In 1998, the
Company elected not to match the employee contributions to the 401(k) retirement
plan.

10.      SIGNIFICANT LICENSE AGREEMENTS:

The Company has entered into various licensing agreements, with expiration dates
ranging from March 31, 1999, to December 31, 2000, requiring royalty payments

under those licensing agreements totaled approximately $1,724,000 in 1998.
Approximately 58 percent of sales were pursuant to the various license
agreements in 1998.

Future minimum guaranteed royalty payments under these agreements are
approximately $851,000 as of December 31, 1998.

11.      SEGMENT REPORTING:

For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS
131). SFAS 131 superseded Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS 131
establishes standards for the way that business enterprises report information
about operating segments in annual financial statements. SFAS 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not affect
results of operations or financial position, but did affect the disclosure of
segment information.

The Company is organized into two primary business segments: (a) Domestic and
(b) Orient. Performance is evaluated and resources allocated based on specific
segment requirements and measurable factors. Segment assets are those assets
that are specifically identified with the operations in each segment.
