Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
------ -------------------------------------
On April 17, 1998, GIANT MARINE GROUP, LTD., ("GIANT
MARINE"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GIANT GROUP, LTD., (the
"Registrant"), sold one of its two luxury yachts for a gross
sales price of $14.5 million, less selling costs, to an
unrelated purchaser. In addition, GIANT MARINE will seek
refunds from the U.S. Customs Services for amounts previously
deposited with such agency and will be entitled to charter fees
through closing and a specified two week period thereafter.
The Registrant had previously stated that it had
ended its Co-Ownership Program for the two yachts and was
marketing them for sale. The Registrant is marketing the
remaining yacht for sale, and will continue to charter it
pending a sale.

The unaudited pro forma effect of the yacht sale on the
Registrant's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1997
would be a decrease to assets held for sale and an increase to
cash and marketable securities for an equal dollar amount as
the Registrant recognized no gain or loss on the yacht sale.
