NOTE 1

            The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
            opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
            results for the interim periods presented and are of a normal

            indication of results to be expected for the year.

ITEM 2.

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


Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 were
$80,118,000 compared to $64,167,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.
This represents an increase of $15,951,000 or 24.9%.  Included in the results
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are the net sales of $7,727,000
achieved by OddzOn Products, Inc. which was acquired in October 1994.  Net
sales of Cap Toys, Inc. of $16,151,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 compares to $13,332,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994, an
increase of 21.1%.  The increase in net sales of Cap Toys, Inc. is a result of
the continued strong performance of its major product lines and improved
availability of certain inventory in 1995 as compared to 1994.  Excluding the
net sales of Cap Toys, Inc. and OddzOn Products, Inc., consolidated net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $56,240,000 compared to
$50,835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994, an increase of 10.6%. 
This increase can be primarily attributed to the positive response in the
marketplace to newly introduced gift products.

Cost of sales were 49.1% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995
compared to 49.2% for the same period in 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $35,843,000 or 44.7% of net
sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to $31,532,000 or 49.1%
of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1995 (approximately $3,100,000) and the
increase in the selling, general and administrative expense of Cap Toys, Inc.
(approximately $1,900,000).  The increase at Cap Toys, Inc. is primarily due to
an increase in advertising expense related to an expanded advertising program in
1995 compared to 1994, and certain increased expenses required to support the
accelerated rate of growth that Cap Toys, Inc. has experienced since its
acquisition in 1993.

Investment and other income of $728,000 for three months ended March 31, 1995
compares to $564,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  This increase
can be primarily attributed to foreign currency exchange gains related to
intercompany loan transactions.          

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 was 28.1% compared to 37.6% in the same
period in the prior year.  This decrease can be primarily attributed to lower
tax provisions related to certain foreign subsidiaries.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 of $4,083,000 compares to
net income of $1,022,000 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.
