- ------------------
(1)      In  connection  with the  purchase by the Company of 107,371  shares of
         Common Stock purchased  during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and all
         of the shares  purchased  during the quarter  ended June 30, 1998,  the
         Company  paid $33.00 per share plus .8125 shares of  Integrated  Brands
         common  stock  which  was  owned  by  the  Company.  Integrated  Brands
         subsequently  merged into Yogen Fruz World-Wide Inc. ("Yogen Fruz"), as
         a result of which the .8125 shares of  Integrated  Brands  became .4754
         shares of Yogen Fruz.  Based on the average of the high and low closing
         bid prices per share of Integrated  Brands or Yogen Fruz on the date of
         the contracts relating to the stock purchases, the value of the noncash
         consideration  was  approximately  $2.23 per share of Common Stock with
         respect to the  purchases  during the March 31, 1998  quarter and $3.79
         per share of Common  Stock with  respect to  purchases  made during the
         June 30, 1998 quarter. Thus, the highest price paid per share of Common
         Stock had a value of $36.79 per  share,  representing  $33.00  cash and
         noncash consideration valued at $3.79.

         Pursuant to a retirement  agreement (the "Retirement  Agreement") dated
August 31, 1996,  among the Company and Andrew J. Frankel and Alan N. Cohen, the
Company  issued  32,500  shares of Common  Stock to each of Messrs.  Frankel and
Cohen in September 1996.

         At September 30, 1996, the Company owed  approximately  $1.6 million to
three shareholders -- Frankhill Associates ("Frankhill"),  Alan N. Cohen and one
individual  who was  formerly an  affiliate of the Company and no longer has any
debt or  equity  interest  in the  Company.  Such debt (the  "Fleet  Debt")  was
initially  owed by the  Company to Fleet Bank and was  assigned by Fleet Bank to
such shareholders.  Pursuant to an agreement (the "Debt Cancellation Agreement")
entered  into  in  September   1996,  the  Company,   in  September  1996,  paid
approximately  $91,500 to each of the three holders of the Fleet Debt and issued
to each of such holders  15,000 shares of Common Stock in full  satisfaction  of
the Fleet  Debt.  Mr.  Andrew J.  Frankel  is the  managing  general  partner of
Frankhill and a significant beneficial owner of Frankhill.

         Since  October 1, 1995,  except  for the  issuance  of shares of Common
Stock to Messrs.  Frankel and Cohen pursuant to the Retirement  Agreement and to
Frankhill and Mr. Cohen  pursuant to the Debt  Cancellation  Agreement,  neither
Cafco  Holding  Corporation  ("Cafco")  nor any of its  officers,  directors  or
shareholders purchased any shares of the Company's Common Stock.

         The shares of Common Stock  presently  owned by Cafco were  acquired by
Cafco in July 1998 for purposes of consummating the  Transaction.  At that time,
the  shareholders  of Cafco  transferred  to Cafco the 215,529  shares of Common
Stock owned by them in  exchange  for all of the  capital  stock of Cafco.  As a
result, Cafco owns beneficially and of record 215,529 shares of Common Stock.

<PAGE>
Item 3.  Past Contracts, Transactions or Negotiations.

         The  Retirement  Agreement  contemplated  the removal of the  Company's
executive  offices  from  New  York  City  to the  offices  of  its  subsidiary,
Multi-Arc, Inc. ("Multi-Arc") in New Jersey and the resignation of Mr. Andrew J.
Frankel as chairman and chief  executive  officer of the Company and Mr. Alan N.
Cohen as president of the Company.  Pursuant to the  Retirement  Agreement,  the
Company   agreed  to  maintain  the  Company=s  New  York  office  and  pay  the
compensation due to the employees at such office, and Messrs.  Frankel and Cohen
agreed to reimburse the Company for such  expenses.  The agreement also provided
for the issuance of 32,500 shares of Common Stock to each of Messrs. Frankel and
Cohen.

         In  September  1997,  following  the  sale of  Multi-Arc,  the  Company
relocated its offices from New Jersey to New York City, and Messrs.  Frankel and
Cohen were  reelected as chairman of the board and chief  executive  officer and
president, respectively.

         The  Company and the  holders of the Fleet Debt  entered  into the Debt
Cancellation  Agreement  in September  1996 in order to eliminate  approximately
$1.6  million of debt  through the payment of an  aggregate  of $274,500 and the
issuance of 45,000 shares of Common Stock.

         On July 15, 1998,  the Company and Cafco entered into an agreement (the
"Merger Agreement"),  which set forth the terms of the Transaction. The terms of
the Merger Agreement are set forth in Item 4.

Item 4.  Terms of the Transaction.

         On July 15,  1998,  the  Company  and  Cafco  entered  into the  Merger
Agreement.  Pursuant  to the  Merger  Agreement,  Cafco  agreed  to  merge  (the
"Merger")  with and into the  Company,  subject  to the  approval  of the Merger
Agreement by the Company's shareholders. Under the New York Business Corporation
Law ("NYBCL"), the merger requires the votes of the holders of two-thirds of the
outstanding  Common Stock.  Cafco owns 75.3% of the outstanding Common Stock and
has  the  power  to  approve  the  Merger  without  the  approval  of any  other
shareholders. The Company has scheduled a meeting of shareholders for August 28,
1998. The Company does not intend to solicit proxies for such meeting,  but will
provide shareholders with an information statement (the "Information Statement")
pursuant to Section  14(c) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended
(the "Exchange Act"). At the meeting, Cafco will vote to approve the Merger.

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger:

         (a) Each share of Common Stock,  other than shares of Common Stock held
by Cafco and shareholders who exercise their rights of appraisal,  would receive
the right to receive $37 (the "Merger Consideration").

         (b) Each option to purchase  one share of Common  Stock shall  become a
right to  receive  the  difference  between  the  Merger  Consideration  and the
exercise price of the option.

         (c) Each share of common  stock of Cafco would  become and be converted
into one share of Common Stock of the Company.

         Payment of the Merger Consideration to the shareholders of the Company,
other than Cafco and  shareholders  exercising  dissenters'  rights  pursuant to
Sections 910 and 623 of the NYBCL,  shall be made as soon as possible  after the
effective  time of the Merger,  but not later than 15  business  days after such
effective  time.  Payment shall be made to the record holders of Common Stock as
of the close of business on the day immediately  preceding the date on which the
effective time of the Merger occurs.

Item 5.  Plans or Proposals of the Issuer or Affiliate.

         Following  the  completion  of the  Transaction,  the Company  will (a)
operate as a privately owned  corporation,  with the only shareholders being the
present shareholders of Cafco and (b) terminate the Company's registration under
the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act. Following the
termination  of the Company's  registration  under the Exchange Act, the Company
will not be  required  to file  reports  pursuant  to Section 12 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.



                               Page 5 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>
Item 6.  Sources and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration.

         All of the funds to be used to pay the Merger Consideration pursuant to
the Merger  Agreement  shall be provided by the Company.  At March 31, 1998, the
Company had cash of approximately  $12.7 million,  as reflected in the Company's
Form 10-Q Quarterly  Report for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  Substantially
all of the  Company's  cash at March  31,  1998,  resulted  from the sale by the
Company  of its 84%  interest  in  Multi-Arc,  which  generated  net cash to the
Company of approximately $17.9 million.

         In April 1998, the Company purchased 40,488 shares of Common Stock from
shareholders  who are not  affiliated  with  Cafco for $33 per share  plus .8125
share of  Integrated  Brands  common  stock  which  was  owned  by the  Company.
Integrated Brands  subsequently merged into Yogen Fruz, as a result of which the
 .8125 shares of Integrated  Brands  became .4754 shares of Yogen Fruz.  The cash
consideration paid to such shareholders was approximately $1.3 million.

         Following  the  purchase  of Common  Stock  described  in the  previous
paragraph,  the Company owned 136,078  shares of Yogen Fruz,  which were sold in
May 1998, for approximately $1.2 million

         Since March 31,  1998,  the Company has  continued  to incur  operating
expenses.  As a result of the  stock  purchase  and the sale of the  Yogen  Fruz
stock, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately  $12.2 million
at June 30, 1998.

         In addition, in connection with the sale of Multi-Arc,  an aggregate of
$3.0  million is held in escrow as security  for certain  obligations  under the
agreement  relating to the sale of Multi-Arc,  including  obligations  which may
arise as a result of breaches or  representations  and warranties and for taxes.
Although the Company does not believe that its  liability  for such  breaches or
such taxes will be  material,  there can be no  assurance  that any of the funds
held in escrow  will be paid to the  Company.  The  possible  recovery  from the
escrow account is fully reserved against in the Company's financial statements.

         The  expenses  for the  Transaction  will be paid by the  Company.  The
Company  estimates  that  the  expenses  of the  Transaction,  including  legal,
accounting and filing fees,  printing expenses and other related expenses,  will
be approximately $150,000.

         None of the money  required  for either the  payment of expenses or the
payment of the Merger Consideration will be borrowed by the Company.

Item 7.  Purpose(s), Alternatives, Reasons and Effects.

         Although  the  Company  is  not  presently   engaged  in  any  business
activities,  final  resolution of issues  involved in the Multi-Arc  sale remain
open and could  possibly  result in  litigation.  In addition,  the Company is a
defendant  in at least three  pending  lawsuits  arising  from its  discontinued
subcontracting business.  Accordingly,  the Company's directors believe that the
Company should  continue in existence  until such issues are resolved,  and such
issues are likely to remain unresolved for up to four years and possibly longer.

         The public float for the Common Stock (i.e., the shares of Common Stock
not  owned by Cafco) is 70,565  shares,  and there is no active  market  for the
Common Stock, as a result of which  shareholders  are not able sell their shares
of Common Stock. For these reasons, the Company and

                               Page 6 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>
Cafco do not  believe  that it is in the  interest  of either the Company or its
shareholders  for the Company to continue  to be a reporting  company  under the
Exchange Act and for the approximately  1,100  shareholders to have little or no
liquidity  for  their  stock.  The  purpose  of the  Transaction  is to pay such
shareholders  a fair  value for their  shares and to  operate  the  Company as a
privately-owned  company,  with the  present  shareholders  of Cafco as its only
shareholders.

         Following the Multi-Arc sale in September  1997, the Company's board of
directors  adopted a resolution  which provided  that,  within one year from the
completion of the Multi-Arc sale, it would engage in a transaction such that the
Company is not engaged in the business of an investment  company,  as defined in
Section 3 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act").

         As of June 30, 1998,  the Company did not have any  agreement  with any
company or other entity pursuant to which the Company would acquire such company
or its  business  and assets,  and no  discussions  were  pending.  Although the
Company has  received an inquiry  about the  possibility  of a merger or similar
corporate  transaction,  such  discussions  have not  resulted  in any formal or
informal agreement and no discussions are continuing. The board of directors did
not  believe  that,  during  the  period  between  the date of this  filing  and
September 30, 1998, it was likely that the Company could negotiate an agreement,
conduct  adequate due  diligence,  file proxy  materials with the Commission and
hold a meeting of shareholders,  all of which may, depending on the structure of
the transaction, be necessary in order to consummate such a transaction.

         As a result of the sale of  Multi-Arc,  the Company may come within the
technical  definition  of an  investment  company as defined in Section 3 of the
Investment  Company  Act.  However,  Rule  3a-2  of  the  Commission  under  the
Investment  Company Act treats a  so-called  transient  investment  company as a
company which is not engaged in the business of an investment  company. In order
for a corporation to be a transient investment company, it must have a bona fide
intent, during a period of time not to exceed one year, to be engaged primarily,
as soon as is possible, in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting,
owning,  holding  or  trading  in  securities.  Thus,  the  Company  cannot be a
transient  investment  company  subsequent to September 30, 1998. If the Company
has not  completed  a  transaction  which takes it out of the  definition  of an
investment  company by  September  30,  1998,  the Company will be treated as an
investment company.  The Company does not believe that it is in the interests of
the Company or its shareholders for the Company to become an investment company.
The operation of the Company as an investment  company would subject the Company
to considerably  greater expenses of operations as well as increased  regulation
under the Investment  Company Act.  Considering the Company's  relatively modest
cash position and the absence of an operating business,  it is possible that the
expenses of  operating  an  investment  company,  including  the  engagement  of
additional staff and the increased regulatory burden, could generate losses from
operations,  which  would  not  be  in  the  interest  of  the  Company  or  its
shareholders. Furthermore, the operation of the Company as an investment company
would not solve the problems of an illiquid  stock,  which is currently faced by
the shareholders since the public float is only 70,565 shares. Accordingly,  the
board of directors  believes that it is in the interest of the  shareholders for
the Company, prior to September 30, 1998, to consummate a transaction which will
eliminate the risk of the Company being treated as an investment company.

         The Company  considered the possibility of a liquidation of the Company
by  a  distribution  of   substantially   all  of  the  available  cash  to  its
shareholders,   including,   the  present  shareholders  of  Cafco  (the  "Cafco
Shareholders")  who owned 75.3% of the Common  Stock which they  transferred  to
Cafco.  Because of the open litigation  issues  described above and also because
such a distribution





                               Page 7 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>
would have adverse tax  consequences  to the Cafco  Shareholders  since it would
result in a taxable  distribution to such shareholders,  the directors felt that
liquidation would not be appropriate.  By retaining their stock ownership in the
Company instead of receiving the cash in the form of a  distribution,  the Cafco
Shareholders  will not be subject to income taxes.  The economic  effect and tax
treatment to the other  shareholders  of the Transaction is essentially the same
as a liquidation distribution.

         As  discussed  above,  although  the  Company  is a  reporting  company
pursuant to the Exchange Act, there is no active market for the Common Stock and
the public float  consists of 70,565 shares of Common  Stock,  which are held by
approximately   1,100   shareholders  of  record,   of  which  more  than  1,050
shareholders hold 100 or fewer shares,  including more than 940 shareholders who
hold ten or fewer shares.

         Since  September  30, 1997,  the Company has  purchased an aggregate of
164,039 shares of Common Stock in private transactions. The Company continues to
receive  inquiries from  shareholders who expressed an interest in selling their
shares of Common Stock to the Company. The Company believes that the Transaction
would benefit the nonaffiliated  shareholders by providing them with cash now at
a fair value not obtainable in the market.  The termination of the public market
for  the  Common  Stock  will  not  be   disadvantageous  to  the  nonaffiliated
shareholders,  since there is no active public market and the  shareholder  will
receive more than the market price for the Common Stock,  which, as reflected in
Item 1, has been both minimal and sporadic.

         The Merger Consideration reflects the value of the Company's net liquid
assets,  net of  appropriate  reserves set by the board of directors for ongoing
expenses,  including  potential  future  litigation and retirement  benefits for
employees other than Messrs.  Frankel and Cohen,  and does not give any value to
the contingent  payment from escrow in connection  with the Multi-Arc  sale. The
amount of such contingent payment could be up to approximately $3 million. As of
the date of this  Schedule,  to the best of the Company's  knowledge,  no claims
have been made against the escrow account.

         As a result  of the  Transaction,  the  Company's  book  value  will be
reduced by the amount of the Merger Consideration paid to the shareholders other
the Cafco, the expenses of the Transaction and any payments made to shareholders
exercising their rights of appraisal.

Item 8.  Fairness of the Transaction.

         The Company believes that the Transaction is fair to the  nonaffiliated
shareholders.  In  determining  the  fairness  of the  Transaction,  the Company
considered the following factors.

         (a) The  liquidation  value  per share of  Common  Stock,  based on the
Company's most recent balance sheet,  which is the balance sheet as of March 31,
1998, as filed in the Company's  Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
net of appropriate  reserves set by the board of directors for ongoing expenses,
including  potential  future  litigation and  retirement  benefits for employees
other than Messrs. Frankel and Cohen.

         (b) The price at which the Company  purchased shares of Common Stock in
recent  transactions.  Such  purchases were made from  knowledgeable  investors,
including a shareholder who was, at the time of the sale, a major shareholder of
the Company. The purchase price paid resulted

                               Page 8 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>
from negotiations with the sellers and reflected an approximation at the time of
the liquidation value of the Common Stock.

         The Company  does not believe that the market price of the Common Stock
represents  any  indicia  of value,  since  there is a very thin  market for the
Common Stock. However, the price to be paid to the shareholders exceeds the most
recently  reported bid prices for the Common Stock prior to the determination of
the Merger Consideration.

         The Company  believes  that,  because the Company is not engaged in any
business  activities,  valuations  based  on a  multiple  of  earnings  are  not
relevant. The Company's main asset is cash and cash equivalents.

         Since the  Company  in not  engaged  in any  business  activities,  the
Company does not believe that it has any value as a going concern.

         The  Transaction  requires the approval of the holders of two-thirds of
the  outstanding  shares  of Common  Stock on the  record  date for  determining
shareholders  entitled  to vote on the  Merger.  Since  Cafco holds 75.3% of the
outstanding  shares,  it has the ability to approve the transaction  without the
votes of any other  shareholder.  The agreement does not require the approval of
any specified percentage of non-affiliated shareholders.

Item 9.  Reports, Opinions, Appraisals and Certain Negotiations.

         The Company has not obtained a report,  opinion or  appraisal  from any
outside  party  relating  directly or indirectly  to either the  Transaction  or
recent purchases by the Company from shareholders.

Item 10.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) Cafco  presently owns 215,529 shares of Common Stock,  representing
75.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Messrs.  Andrew J. Frankel and
Alan N. Cohen,  are  affiliates  of both the Company and Cafco,  and they may be
deemed beneficial owners of such shares to the extent of their economic interest
in Cafco.  The shareholders of Cafco are Messrs.  Frankel and Cohen,  members of
their families,  including adult children,  and entities,  including  Frankhill,
which are affiliated with either Mr. Frankel or Mr. Cohen.

         (b)  During  the 60 days  prior  to the  date of this  Schedule  13e-3,
neither  Cafco  nor  Messrs.  Frankel  and  Cohen  engaged  in any  transactions
involving the Common Stock.

Item 11. Contracts,  Arrangements or Understandings with Respect to the Issuer's
Securities.

         Neither  the  Company,  Cafco  or  Messrs.  Frankel  or  Cohen  has any
agreement,  understanding  or relationship  in connection with the  Transaction,
other than the Merger Agreement, except that Cafco intends to vote its shares of
Common Stock in favor of the Transaction.

Item 12. Present Intention and Recommendation of Certain  Persons with Regard to
the Transaction.

         Cafco  intends  to vote  its  shares  of  Common  Stock in favor of the
Transaction.  Messrs. Frankel and Cohen, who are the only officers and directors
of  Cafco  and the  only  directors  or the  Company,  will  recommend  that the
shareholders approve the Transaction for the reasons set forth in Item 8.

Item 13.  Other Provisions of the Transaction.

         Pursuant to Sections 910 and 623 of the NYBCL,  holders of Common Stock
who object to the Merger may exercise their  appraisal  rights in the manner set
forth in said Sections 910 and 623.

         No contractual provision has been made by the Company or Cafco to allow
unaffiliated  shareholders to obtain access to corporate files of the Company or
to obtain  counsel or appraisal  services at the expense of the issuer.  Section
624 of the NYBCL provides  shareholders  with certain rights of inspection.  The
Company  will  permit any  shareholder  who  complies  with said  Section 624 to
examine and make extracts from the corporate records covered by such section.
