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

     I.   Mervyn E. Griffin

          Pursuant to the first reorganization of RII and certain of its 
subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Codes
("Chapter 11 Proceedings"), Mr. Griffin received an aggregate of 4,400,000
shares of common stock of RII in exchange for $12,345,918 in cash, a one-year
promissory note in the amount of $11,000,000 secured by a bank letter of
credit, his agreement to the merger of the wholly-owned parent of RII into a
newly formed subsidiary of RII and the cancellation of the previously
outstanding common stock of RII, and his agreement to waive certain rights in
the Chapter 11 Proceedings and to provide certain services to RII for a period
of two years.  Mr. Griffin also made a $10,000 capital contribution to the
former parent of RII prior to the above-referenced merger.  The sources of the
above- referenced funds were Mr. Griffin's personal funds.

          In connection with a subsequent reorganization of RII in Chapter 11
Proceedings completed on May 3, 1994, ARH received a Warrant (the
"Warrant") to purchase 4,666,850 shares of RII Common Stock.  The Warrant was
initially to be issued to TGG as compensation pursuant to a License and
Services Agreement, dated as of September 17, 1992 (the 


                              Page 7 of 18 Pages

"License Agreement"), between TGG and RII.  The right to receive the
Warrant was assigned to ARH byTGG by an Assignment dated April 20, 1994.  The
outstanding shares of TGG and ARH are owned by The Merv Griffin Living Trust
("Trust"), for which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee and, in that capacity, has
investment and voting control over securities held by the Trust.  The Warrant
is currently exercisable.  Accordingly, Mr. Griffin may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of the 4,666,850 shares of RII Common Stock subject to the
Warrant held by ARH.

          On July 15, 1994, ARH acquired 711,000 shares of RII Common Stock 
in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $533,250.  The

capital of ARH.  The outstanding shares of ARH are owned by the Trust, for
which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee and, in that capacity, has investment and
voting control over securities held by the Trust.  Accordingly, Mr. Griffin may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 492,100 shares of RII Common Stock
acquired by ARH on July 21, 1994.

payment due under the License Agreement.  TGG assigned its right to receive the
1,940,000 shares of RII Common Stock to ARH on August 1, 1994.  RII intends to
issue the 1,940,000 shares to ARH as soon as reasonably practicable.  The high,
low and closing per share prices of RII Common Stock on August 1, 1994, as
quoted by The American Stock Exchange, were $1.00, $1.125 and $1.0625,
respectively.  The outstanding shares of TGG and ARH are owned by the Trust,
for which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee and, in that capacity, has investment and
voting control over securities held by the Trust.  Accordingly, Mr. Griffin may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 1,940,000 shares of RII Common
Stock to be issued to ARH.

and Cohen are executive officers of TGG and ARH and the outstanding shares of
TGG and ARH are owned by the Trust, for which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee and,
in that capacity, has investment and voting control over securities held by the

at $0.875 per share through J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., 60 Wall
Street, New York, New York  10260.  On July 27, 1994, Mr. Gallagher acquired
45,000 shares of RII Common Stock in the open market at $0.875 per share
through J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10260. 

        (d)  No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Gallagher in his individual
capacity.

          (e)  Not Applicable.

     III. Lawrence Cohen

          (a)  Mr. Cohen, individually, beneficially owns 20,000 shares of the
Common Stock constituting 0.05% of the total issued and outstanding shares of
the Common Stock of RII.  Because of the fact that Messrs. Gallagher and
Cohen are executive officers of TGG and ARH and the outstanding shares of TGG
and ARH are owned by the Trust, for which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee and, in
that capacity, has investment and voting control over securities held by the
Trust, Messrs. Griffin, Gallagher and Cohen may be deemed to be members of a
"group" for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1).  Accordingly, Mr. Cohen also may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of 12,535,192 shares of RII Common Stock
owned by Mr. Griffin (of which 5,928,342 shares are issued and outstanding,
1,940,000 shares are to be issued as soon as practicable and 4,666,850 shares
are issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) and 60,000 shares of RII Common
Stock owned by Mr. Gallagher.  As a result, Messrs. Griffin, Gallagher and
Cohen, as a group, may be deemed to beneficially own 12,615,192 shares of the
Common Stock constituting 28.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of
the Common Stock of RII (assuming the issuance of the License Shares and the
exercise of the Warrant).

          (b)  Mr. Cohen exercises sole voting and dispositive power for 20,000
shares of the Common Stock.

          (c)  On July 22, 1994, Mr. Cohen acquired 5,000 shares of RII Common 
Stock in the open market at $0.875 per share through J.P. Morgan Securities, 
Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York  10260.  On July 27, 1994, Mr. Cohen
acquired 15,000 shares of RII Common Stock in the open market at $0.875 per
share through J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York
10260.  

          (d)  No other person is known to have the right to receive or the 
power to  direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale 
of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Cohen in his individual capacity.

          (e)  Not Applicable.

Item 6.    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
           Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     I.   Mervyn E. Griffin

        Because of the fact that Messrs. Gallagher and Cohen are executive
officers of TGG and ARH and the outstanding shares of TGG and ARH are owned by
the Trust, for which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee and, in that capacity, has
investment and voting control over securities held by the Trust, Messrs.
Griffin, Gallagher and Cohen may be deemed to be members of a "group" for
purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1).

       There are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or 
relationships between Mr. Griffin and anyone else with respect to any 
securities of RII, other than an understanding with Mr. David P. Hanlon,  
former President and Chief Executive Officer of RII, pursuant to which Mr.  
Griffin is to be granted a right of first refusal upon any disposition of  
shares of Common Stock acquired by Mr. Hanlon pursuant to the option granted  
to Mr. Hanlon under a prior Senior Management Stock Option Plan of RII.  A      
definitive agreement has not yet been executed by the parties. Pursuant to 
Mr. Hanlon's option, he has the right to acquire up to 1,089,275 shares of 
Common Stock (the "Option Shares").  The option is presently exercisable.

officers of TGG and ARH and the outstanding shares of TGG and ARH are owned by
the Trust, for which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee and, in that capacity, has
investment and voting control over securities held by the Trust, Messrs.
Griffin, Gallagher and Cohen may be deemed to be members of a "group" for
purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1).

          There are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or 
relationships between Mr. Gallagher and anyone else with respect to any 
securities of RII.
