Item 2. Disposition of Assets
------- ---------------------
On October 31, 2000, Periscope Sportswear, Inc. ("Periscope"), a 100%
wholly owned subsidiary of GIANT GROUP, LTD. ("GIANT"), executed and delivered a
letter delivering peaceful possession of its assets to Century Business Credit
Corporation ("Century"). Pursuant to the letter, all Periscope's receivables,
inventory, fixed assets, and other assets listed as collateral in Periscope's
August 1999 "Factoring Agreement" with Century were transferred to Century. As
previously disclosed, Periscope was in default under its Factoring Agreement
with Century. GIANT as a guarantor of $2 million of Periscope's obligations to
Century, which resulted from the April 2000 amendment of Periscope's Cash Pledge
Security agreement with Century, consented to this transaction and was released
from its guarantee. In addition, GIANT has also provided $3 million of
collateral under the 1999 Factoring Agreement with Century which maybe returned
by Century to GIANT under certain circumstances.
