                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors of
Trade Products, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Trade Products, Inc. as
of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related statements of income and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Trade Products, Inc. as of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Trade Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a gaming supply manufacturer,
producing an extensive line of ticket and bingo products used by charitable
fund-raising organizations and state lotteries. The Company also operates a
promotional marketing division, which produces a wide range of promotional
products and services including games, sweepstakes and contests. Products are
marketed internationally. The Company sells its products in many geographic
markets and does not believe there are any significant concentrations of credit
risk.
 
Significant 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
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.
 
Financial Instruments:
 
     The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable,
trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued profit sharing approximate
fair value due to the short maturity of these items.
 
     The carrying value of notes receivable approximates fair value as stated
interest rates approximate market rates for instruments with similar terms and
maturities.
 
     Long term debt has a variable rate of interest and therefore the recorded
amount approximates fair value.
 
Revenue Recognition:
 
     Revenue from product sales is recognized when a product is shipped. Revenue
from sales of services is recognized when services are performed.
 
Recent Pronouncements:
 
     During March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of " (SFAS No. 121), which requires the Company
to review for impairment its long-lived assets and intangibles whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. In certain situations, an impairment loss would be
recognized. SFAS No. 121 will become effective for the Company's 1996 fiscal
year.
 
     During October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), which establishes a fair value method
of accounting for stock-based compensation plans, and requires additional
disclosures for those companies which elect not to adopt the new method of
accounting. SFAS No. 123 will be effective for the Company's 1996 fiscal year.
The Company does not intend to adopt the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation, and will provide the required additional disclosures
beginning in its fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.
 
     Implementation of these Statements is not expected to be material to the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
                                      A-5

                              TRADE PRODUCTS, INC.
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The Company places its temporary cash investments with one financial
institution. At times such cash investments may be in excess of the FDIC
insurance limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant
credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
 
Property and Equipment:
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for improvements
that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the life of an asset
are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, gains
and losses are reflected in operations.
 
     Depreciation on property and equipment is computed by accelerated and
straight-line methods over the assets' estimated useful lives, which range from
three to twenty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of the estimated life or the anticipated lease term
including renewals.
 
Income Taxes:
 
     The Company has elected to have its income taxed pursuant to the provisions
of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under these provisions, the
stockholders of the Company are liable for Federal income taxes on their
respective shares of the Company's taxable income.
 
Other Assets:
 
     Other assets includes $200,000, net of $100,000 and $150,000 accumulated
amortization at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, related to a contract
for services which is being amortized over the four year service period.
 
Reclassifications:
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1994 financial
statements in order to conform to the 1995 presentation. Such reclassifications
had no effect on stockholders' equity or net income.
 
2. INVENTORIES
 
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined
using the last-in, first-out method.
 
     Inventories are summarized as follows:

     If the first-in, first-out method of inventory accounting had been used,
inventories would have been $712,646 and $1,113,123 higher at December 31, 1994
and 1995, respectively.

     During 1993 and 1994 the Company recorded expenses totaling $2,066,532 and
$357,840, respectively, related to the development of a new type of
manufacturing equipment, which was included in selling, general and
administrative expenses. At December 31, 1994, $801,498 remained in construction
in progress related to this equipment. During 1995, events occurred that
provided management evidence that this equipment under construction would result
in no future benefit. Accordingly, the Company recorded 1995 expenses of
approximately $807,000 in selling, general and administrative expense to write
off the remaining balance. The Company is involved in legal proceedings in an
attempt to recover these costs.
 
     Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995

$90,416 are included in accrued expenses, respectively. The SARS are not capital
stock and have no rights pertaining to stockholders or creditors of the Company.

price of $37.2 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, plus the 
issuance of warrants to acquire 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

     On November 13, 1996, the Company completed a private placement in
reliance on Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of $100 million
aggregate principal amount of 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due November 15,
2004. The Company used the proceeds of the private placement to finance the
acquisition of Trade Products, to repay certain existing indebtedness and for 
general corporate purposes.

     On November 13, 1996, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement
(the "New Credit Agreement"). The New Credit Agreement consists of a revolving
credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $30 million, bearing
interest with reference to the base rate or the LIBOR rate, at the Company's 
option, plus the applicable interest margin, as defined in the New Credit 
Agreement.

     The Trade Products acquisition, the debt refinancing and the New Credit
Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Transactions."

     The following unaudited pro forma financial data are based on the
historical financial statements of Stuart and Trade Products for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the
Transactions.
 
     The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Income Statements
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996 have been presented on the assumption that the
Transactions occurred on January 1, 1995. The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996 has been presented on
the assumption that the Transactions occurred as of September 30, 1996.
 
     These unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that would have been reported if the
Transactions had occurred at the time presented and are not necessarily
indicative of the results that will be achieved for future periods as a result
of the Transactions.

- ---------------
 
(1) The Company anticipates incurring a one-time non-cash charge in the first
    four months after the completion of the offering of the Company's 12 1/2%
    Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004, issued on November 13, 1996, of 
    approximately $2,551,000 that is not reflected in these adjustments. This 
    charge is related to the application of the purchase method of accounting 
    to the finished goods inventory of Trade Products that will be sold by the 
    Company after the completion of the Note Offering.
 
(2) To reflect additional depreciation expenses on the write-up of property,
    plant and equipment from historical cost to fair value ($2,023,000) with an
    average life of six years (80% of which is manufacturing related and charged
    to cost of goods sold).
 
(3) To reflect the decrease in the salaries of certain Trade Products officers,
    which were $500,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, and $375,000 for
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, compared to salaries
    after the Trade Acquisition of $206,000 for the year ended December 31,
    1995, $154,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and $162,000 for
    the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
 
(4) To reflect the elimination of costs, which includes the write-off of assets
    and legal costs, associated with assets not acquired by the Company in the
    Trade Acquisition.
 
(5) To reflect additional amortization expense on goodwill of $15,414,000 over a
    40-year period.
 
         (b) To reflect the incremental change to interest expense, including
    amortization expense related to the deferred financing costs, associated
    with the Transactions (see "Notes d and h to Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
    Condensed Combined Financial Statements").
 
         (c) The pro forma adjustment reflects (i) Trade Products pre-tax income
    subject to corporate income taxes at a marginal income tax rate of 36% for
    the periods presented (Trade Products is an S corporation and, accordingly,
    has not been subject to corporate income taxes), and (ii) income tax
    expenses on the pro forma adjustments which affect taxable income.
 
         (d) Net cash interest expense does not reflect amortization expense
    related to the deferred financing costs on the new debt financing of
    $100,000,000 Senior Subordinated Notes ($4,750,000), amortized over eight
    years, and on the new $30,000,000 bank revolving facility ($400,000),
    amortized over five years.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
                      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
              STUART ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND TRADE PRODUCTS, INC.
 
          (e) To give effect to an extraordinary loss of $1,047,000, after
     income taxes of $589,000, to write off unamortized debt issuance costs
     related to repaying the Prior Credit Agreement before its maturity and to
     record penalties on the early extinguishment of existing debt in
     conjunction with the Note Offering.
 
          (f) To reflect Trade Products' inventory on a FIFO
     (first-in-first-out) basis versus the historical LIFO (last-in-first-out)
     basis.
 
          (g) To reflect the Trade Acquisition for a total purchase price of
     $37,579,000 plus an amount equal to the increase in Trade Products'
     stockholders' equity between September 30, 1996 and the closing date of the
     Trade Acquisition (currently estimated at $108,000). The purchase price was
     paid as follows: (i) $28,145,000 in cash to Trade Products; (ii) the amount
     attributable to the increase if any, in Trade Products' stockholder equity
     is expected to be paid in cash within 120 days after closing; (iii)
     $9,104,000 to Trade Products' bank in payment of Trade Products' existing
     debt; and (iv) issuance of warrants to acquire 300,000 shares of the
     Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with an exercise price
     of $7.75 per share (valued at $330,000). Adjustments to reflect the
     preliminary estimate of the fair value of net assets under purchase
     accounting will result in an increase to property, plant and equipment of
     $2,023,000, goodwill of $15,414,000 and inventory of $2,551,000. In
     addition, Trade Products' historical stockholders' equity will be
     eliminated and certain assets and liabilities will not be purchased.
 
          The purchase price was allocated at the consummation of the Trade
     Acquisition and might be revised for a period of up to one year.
     Nevertheless, management believes the final impact on its results should
     not be materially different from the amounts included in the Unaudited Pro
     Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
 
          (h) To give effect to new debt financing of $100,000,000 Senior
     Subordinated Notes to be used to repay the existing bank revolving and term
     facilities ($32,859,000), obligations under capital leases ($3,357,000), a
     subordinated note payable to Mr. Stuart ($5,000,000), notes payable to
     others ($2,967,000) and Bazaar purchase price adjustment ($454,000), and to
     pay estimated underwriting commissions, bank facility fees and offering
     expenses ($5,150,000). The new debt financing of $100,000,000 Senior
     Subordinated Notes and the creation of the new $30,000,000 bank revolving
     facility will result in the extinguishment of deferred financing costs of
     $1,348,000 ($863,000, net of income taxes) on the Prior Credit Agreement
     (as defined) and establishment of estimated deferred financing costs on the
     new debt financing of approximately $5,150,000. In addition, the Company
     will reflect a charge of $113,000, after income taxes of $64,000, relating
     to penalties on the early extinguishment of existing debt in conjunction
     with the Note Offering.
 
          (i) For purposes of computing pro forma ratios of earnings to fixed
     charges, pro forma earnings are divided by pro forma fixed charges.
     "Earnings" represent the aggregate of (a) the pre-tax income of the Company
     and (b) fixed charges, less capitalized interest. "Fixed Charges" represent
     interest (whether expensed or capitalized), amortization of deferred
     financing and bank fees, and the portion of rentals considered to be
     interest.
 
          (j) To reflect the elimination of settled litigation resulting in the
     recovery of previously expensed costs related to the development of a new
     type of manufacturing equipment. These assets were not acquired by the
     Company in the Trade Acquisition.
