ITEM 2.


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


Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $154,381,000
compared to $121,713,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994. This represents
an increase of 26.8%.  Included in the results for the six months ended June 30,
1995 are the net sales of $18,809,000 achieved by OddzOn Products, Inc., which
was acquired in October 1994.  Net sales for Cap Toys, Inc. of $38,640,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 compares to $34,698,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1994, an increase of 11.4%. Excluding the net sales of Cap Toys,
Inc. and OddzOn Products, Inc., consolidated net sales for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 were $96,932,000 compared to $87,015,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1994, an increase of 11.4%.

Cost of sales was 50.5% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to 52.4% 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 six-month period ended June 30,
1995.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $71,708,000 or 46.4% of net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $63,198,000 or 51.9%
of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in selling,
general and administrative expense can be attributed to the inclusion of the
selling, general and administrative expense of OddzOn Products, Inc. for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 (approximately $7,400,000).

Investment and other income of $1,181,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995 compares to $1,346,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994.

The provision for income taxes of $1,617,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995 compares to an income tax benefit of $1,628,000 in the same period in the
prior year.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 of $4,237,000 compares to a
net loss of $2,305,000 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 JUNE 30, 1995

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were
$74,263,000 compared to $57,546,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994,
an increase of $16,717,000 or 29.0%.  Included in the results for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 are the net sales of $11,082,000 achieved by OddzOn
Products, Inc. which was acquired in October 1994.  Net sales of Cap Toys, Inc.
of $22,489,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compares to $21,366,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1994, an increase of 5.3%.  Excluding the
net sales of Cap Toys, Inc. and OddzOn Products, Inc., consolidated net sales
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were $40,692,000 compared to
$36,180,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994, an increase of 12.5%.

Cost of sales was 52.1% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995
compared to 56.0% for the same period in 1994.  This decrease can be attributed
in part to lower import duties on certain of the Company's products.  In
addition, certain components of cost of sales are fixed costs which were
absorbed by the higher sales volume in the three months ended June 30, 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $35,865,000 or 48.3% of net
sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to  $31,666,000 or
55.0% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1994, an increase of
$4,199,000 or 13.3%.  The increase in selling, general and administrative
expense can be attributed to the inclusion of the selling, general and
administrative expense of OddzOn Products, Inc. for the three months ended June
30, 1995 (approximately $4,200,000).

Investment and other income of $453,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995 compares to $782,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 of $154,000 compares to a
net loss of $3,327,000 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 June 30, 1995, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments of $35,266,000 compared to $47,961,000 at December 31, 1994.
This decrease can be attributed to the increase in merchandise inventories as a
result of the seasonal sales levels that the Company has historically
experienced during the third and fourth quarters.

The Company has signed a letter of intent to sell all of the net operating
assets of its Papel/Freelance, Inc. subsidiary.  The proceeds generated from
the sale will be used for general corporate purposes. The Company anticipates
that this transaction will be completed before December 31, 1995.

Working capital requirements during the six months ended June 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.
