Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration.

         Gaines,  Berland Inc. ("GBI") paid $291,768.75 from its working capital
to exercise  warrants to purchase  333,450 shares (the  beneficial  ownership of
which has  previously  been reported on the original  Schedule 13D to this Final
Amendment) of the common stock,  par value $.0001 ("Common  Stock") of Infinity,
Inc. ("Issuer"), a Colorado corporation.  This Amendment No. 2 is being filed on

   (a)  As of the  date  of  this  Amendment  No.  2 to the  Schedule  13D,  GBI
beneficially  owns 296,940 shares of Common Stock,  including  266,550 shares of
Common Stock  issuable upon exercise of warrants  issued to GBI  exercisable  at
$0.875 per share until July 31, 2001 ("Private Warrants"), or approximately 2.7%

Stock  outstanding,  consisting of 10,921,721 shares  outstanding as of December
12, 1997,  as confirmed to the  Reporting  Person by the Issuer,  together  with
266,550 shares of Common Stock which would be  outstanding  upon exercise of the
currently  exercisable  Private  Warrants owned by GBI). In addition,  as of the
date of this  Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D,  Alan Gaines  ("Gaines"),  an
executive officer of GBI, owns 50,000 shares of Common Stock, or less than 1% of

   (b) GBI has sole voting and dispositive powers with respect to 296,940 shares
of Common Stock,  including 266,550 shares issuable upon exercise of the Private
Warrants.  Gaines has sole voting and  dispositive  powers  with  respect to the
50,000  shares of Common  Stock  owned by him.  Neither  GBI or Gaines  believes
either  party  is  controlled  by or  controlling  of the  other  party.  Gaines
disclaims  beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by GBI and GBI  disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of the shares of Common  Stock
beneficially owned by Gaines.

   (c) In December  1997,  GBI exercised  Private  Warrants to purchase  333,450
shares  of Common  Stock  ("Warrant  Shares").  GBI sold the  Warrant  Shares as

respectively,  an additional  7,000 and 10,000  shares of Common Stock,  each at
$2.2532 per share.

   (d) Not applicable.

   (e) On  December 4, 1997 the  Reporting  Person  ceased to be the  beneficial
