fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements

the year ended December 31, 1994.

All adjustments necessary (consisting of normal adjustments), in the
opinion of management, for a fair statement of results for the periods
indicated have been made.

Due to the seasonal nature of the toy business in which the Company is
engaged and the factors set forth in Management's Discussion and
Analysis, the results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of a full calendar year.


Note 2 - Inventories

The Company takes a physical inventory annually at each location.  The
amounts shown in the quarterly financial statements have been determined
using the Company's standard cost accounting system.  An estimate, based
on past experience, of the adjustment which may result from the next
physical inventory has been included in the financial statements.  
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) cost method.  Since inventories under the LIFO method
can only be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on
quantities and costs at that time, interim inventory valuation must be
based on estimates of quantities and costs at year-end.


Note 3 - Average Shares Outstanding

Unallocated ESOP shares are deducted from outstanding shares of Common
Stock to arrive at average shares outstanding.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



OPERATIONS
- - ----------
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased to
$29,335,000 from $26,721,000 for the comparable 1994 period and
increased to $15,513,000 for the third quarter of 1995 from $13,197,000
for the comparable 1994 period.  Sales during the first nine months of
the year as well as for the three months ended September 30th, increased
to our international and domestic toy customers while sales by Strydel,
Inc., our injection molding facility decreased.  International toy
sales, which increased approximately $1,600,000 for the three months and
approximately $2,300,000 for the nine months was due to restructuring
our distribution network with western European toy companies, which was
effective January 1, 1995.  The domestic toy sales increase of
approximately $1,100,000 for the three months and $700,000 for the nine
months was due to the shipment of new toy product start-ups, which had
been delayed from the beginning of the second quarter until late in the
second quarter, as well as an increase in sales of basic toy products.

The Company's business is seasonal, with approximately 60-70% of its
sales being made in the last six months of the calendar year in recent
years.  Subject to industry practice and comments as detailed in the
Registrant's annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994,
order backlog as of October 31st is approximately $7,443,000        
versus $5,951,000 for the same period of 1994 or approximately 25%
higher than the prior year.  Based on the higher level of sales through
the first nine months, as well as the increase in the order backlog, it
is anticipated that net sales for the calendar year 1995 will be greater
than 1994 sales by approximately 15% to 20%, although it is difficult to
predict the final outcome for 1995.

Other income for the first nine months of 1995 increased to $805,000
from $524,000 for the comparable 1994 period and increased to $254,000
for the third quarter of 1995 from $188,000 for the comparable 1994
period.  The increase in other income is primarily due to an increase
in royalty income from the distribution of the Company's products
outside of the United States as a result of the distributor network
reorganization discussed above.

Gross profit margin (percentage) for the nine months ended September
30 1995 (28.4%) and for the third quarter of 1995 (34.9%) marginally
increased from the comparable 1994 periods (28.3% and 34.8%
respectively).  The .1% increase for both the three month period and
year to date period is the result of slightly higher gross profit
margins at standard offset by a slight increase in overhead expenses.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



Selling, administrative, and general expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 (33.6%)
and for the third quarter of 1995 (27.1%) from the comparable 1994
periods (32.2% and 25.6% respectively).  The increase of approximately
1.5% for both the quarter and year to date is due to increased travel 
and entertainment expenses as both domestic and international sales
departments increased traveling activities and increased royalty
expense as the result of increased sales of products subject to
inventor royalties.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased
to $112,000 from $74,000 for the comparable 1994 period and increased to
$79,000 for the third quarter of 1995 from $39,000 for the similar 1994
period.  The increase, which occurred entirely in the third quarter, is
due to higher levels of borrowing at slightly higher interest rates.
The higher levels of borrowing are necessary to support the higher
levels of inventory, which are necessary to meet anticipated shipments
in the fourth quarter of 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- - -------------------
The seasonal nature of the business generally requires a substantial
buildup of working capital during the second and third calendar quarters
to carry inventory and accounts receivable.  Extended payment terms are
in general use in the toy industry.  Historically, this was given in
order to encourage earlier shipment of merchandise for selling during
the Christmas season.  Customers in the toy industry now accept
shipments when inventory is needed, not early, but the extended payment
terms have remained.  In addition, it is now necessary for the Company
to carry inventory in order to meet fourth quarter customer demand.
Borrowings to finance this working capital requirement are normally
repaid during the fourth quarter as these receivables are collected.

Consistent with this seasonal nature of the business, working capital
was increased during the third quarter of 1995.  This buildup was
primarily funded by the use of cash on hand at December 31, 1994, bank
borrowings, and accounts payable.  The use of bank borrowings,
classified as long-term obligations, has resulted in an increase in
the current ratio from 2.2 to 1 at December 31, 1994 to 2.3 to 1 at
September 30, 1995.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



On May 26, 1995, the Company renewed its three-year $10,000,000
Revolving Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date until May
1998.  The Company also changed its $6,000,000 Demand Credit Agreement
to a maturity date of May 25, 1996.  All the terms and conditions
related to both agreements are the same as the previous agreements
except for the maturity date.
