ITEM 2.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were
$258,368,000 compared to $204,563,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1994. This represents an increase of 26.3%. Included in the results for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 are the net sales of $29,707,000 achieved by
OddzOn Products, Inc., which was acquired in October 1994. Net Sales of the
Company's toy business which includes Cap Toys, Inc. and OddzOn Products, Inc.
(since its acquisition in October 1994) was $94,431,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 compared to $60,997,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. Excluding the net sales of the Company's toy business, 
consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were
$163,937,000 compared to $143,566,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1994, an increase of 14.2%.

Cost of sales was 49.3% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 compared to 50.8% of net sales for the same period in 1994. This decrease
can be attributed to the components of cost of sales that are fixed costs which
were absorbed by the higher sales volume during the nine months ended September
30, 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $112,007,000 or 43.4% of net
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $98,361,000 or
48.1% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expense can be primarily attributed to the
inclusion of the selling, general and administrative expense of OddzOn Products,
Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 (approximately $10,900,000)

Investment and other income of $1,501,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 compares to $2,045,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
This decrease can be attributed to decreased investment income relative to the
Company's short-term investment portfolio resulting from lower investment
balances and to foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to
intercompany loan transactions.

The provision for income taxes of $6,915,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 compares to $920,000 in the same period in the prior year.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $13,497,000 compares
to $3,437,000 for the same period last year. The increase in net income can be
attributed to the increase in net sales, partially offset by the increase in
selling, general and administrative expense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 were
$103,987,000 compared to $82,850,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1994, an increase of $21,137,000 or 25.5%. Included in the results for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 are the net sales of $10,898,000 achieved by
OddzOn Products, Inc. which was acquired in October 1994. Net sales of the
Company's toy business which includes Cap Toys, Inc. and OddzOn Products, Inc.
(since its acquisition in October 1994) was $36,982,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 compared to $26,299,000 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1994. Excluding the net sales of the Company's toy
business, consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995
were $67,005,000 compared to $56,551,000 for the three months ended September 
30,1994, an increase of 18.5%.

Cost of sales was 47.6% of net sales for the three months ended September 30,
1995 compared to 48.4% for the same period in 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $40,299,000 or 38.8% of net
sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $35,163,000 or
42.4% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1994, an increase of
$5,136,000 or 14.6%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense
can be primarily attributed to the inclusion of the selling, general and
administrative expense of OddzOn Products, Inc. for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 (approximately $3,500,000).

Investment and other income of $320,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1995 compares to $699,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1994.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1995 of $9,260,000 compares
to $5,742,000 for the same period last year. The increase in net income can be
attributed to the increase in net sales, partially offset by the increase in
selling, general and administrative expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1995, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments of $27,560,000 compared to $47,961,000 at December 31, 1994. Cash
flows of $8,555,000 were used in operating activities primarily resulting from
increases in net accounts receivable of $21,733,000 and inventories of
$10,581,000 partially offset by funds provided by net income of $13,497,000 and
increases in accrued expenses of $4,622,000 and accrued income taxes of
$4,465,000. Funds were also used for the payment of dividends of $9,688,000.

Working capital requirements during the nine months ended September 30, 1995
were met entirely through internally generated funds. The Company remains in a
highly liquid position and believes that the resources available from operations
and bank lines of credit are sufficient to meet the foreseeable requirements of
its business.
