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 to purchase 4,666,850 shares of RII Common Stock.
This Warrant was initially to be issued to TGG as compensation
pursuant to a License and Services Agreement, dated as of
September 17, 1992 (the "License Agreement"), between TGG and
RII.  The right to receive this Warrant was assigned to ARH by
TGG 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





                          Page 7 of 17 Pages
<PAGE>   8

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 source of funds for the acquisition was the
working 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 711,000 shares of RII
Common Stock acquired by ARH on July 15, 1994.

          On July 21, 1994, ARH acquired (i) 450,000 shares of RII
Common Stock in the open market for an aggregate purchase
price of $337,500 and (ii) 42,100 shares of RII Common Stock
in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of
$36,837.50.  The source of funds for each acquisition was the
working 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.

          On July 22, 1994, ARH acquired 80,900 shares of RII Common
Stock in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of
$70,787.50.  The source of funds for the acquisition was the
working 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 80,900 shares of RII
Common Stock acquired by ARH on July 22, 1994.

     II.  Thomas E. Gallagher

          On July 22, 1994, Mr. Gallagher acquired 15,000
shares of RII Common Stock in the open market for an aggregate
purchase price of $13,125.00.  The source of funds for the
acquisition was Mr. Gallagher's personal funds.

     III. Lawrence Cohen

          On July 22, 1994, Mr. Cohen acquired 5,000 shares
of RII Common Stock in the open market for an aggregate
purchase price of $4,375.00.  The source of funds for the

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

     I.   Mervyn E. Griffin

          Mr. Griffin acquired the first 4,400,000 shares of
Common Stock in connection with the first restructuring of RII
pursuant to the Chapter 11 Proceedings.  Mr. Griffin later
sold 1,885 shares of Common Stock on the American Stock
Exchange on December 19, 1991.

          TGG agreed to accept the Warrant in partial compensation for
services rendered under the License Agreement and subsequently
assigned its rights to receive the Warrant to ARH.  The
Warrant was issued in connection with the second restructuring
of RII pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization of RII and
certain of its subsidiaries (the "New Plan of Reorganization"), 
which Plan was consummated on May 3, 1994.

          On July 15, 1994, ARH acquired 711,000 shares of RII Common

     I.   Mervyn E. Griffin

          (a)  Mr. Griffin, individually and through his
ownership interest in ARH, beneficially owns 10,348,965 shares
of the Common Stock (of which 5,682,115 shares are issued and
outstanding and 4,666,850 shares are issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant held by ARH) constituting 24.4% of the total
issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of RII
(assuming exercise of the Warrant).  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. Griffin also may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of 15,000 shares of RII Common Stock owned by
Mr. Gallagher and 5,000 shares of RII Common Stock owned by
Mr. Cohen.  As a result, Messrs. Griffin, Gallagher and Cohen,
as a group, may be deemed to beneficially own 10,368,965 shares
of the Common Stock constituting 24.4% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of the Common Stock of RII (assuming
exercise of the Warrant).

          (b)  Mr. Griffin exercises (i) sole voting and dispositive
power for 5,682,115 shares of the Common Stock and (ii) sole
dispositive power and, when issued, sole voting power over
4,666,850 shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant held by
ARH.

          (c)  Mr. Griffin initially acquired 4,400,000 shares of
Common Stock in connection with the first restructuring of RII
pursuant to the first Plan of Reorganization in exchange for
the consideration described in Item 3 herein. On December 19,
1991, Mr. Griffin sold 1,885 shares of Common Stock at $1.00
per share on the American Stock Exchange through J.P. Morgan
Securities, Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10260.
ARH received the Warrant on May 3, 1994 for the consideration
described in Item 3 in connection with the second
restructuring of RII pursuant to the New Plan of

of RII Common Stock in the open market at $0.75 per share
through J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., 60 Wall Street, New
York, New York  10260.  On July 21, 1994, ARH acquired (i)
450,000 shares of RII Common Stock in the open market at $0.75
per share through Hoenig & Co., Inc., 4 International Drive,
Rye Brook, New York  10573 and (ii) 42,100 shares of RII

the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock beneficially owned
by Mr. Griffin in his individual capacity or through his
ownership interest in ARH.

          (e)  Not Applicable.

          (a)  Mr. Gallagher, individually, beneficially owns
15,000 shares of the Common Stock constituting 0.04% 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,

Cohen.  As a result, Messrs. Griffin, Gallagher and Cohen, as
a group, may be deemed to beneficially own 10,368,965 shares of

outstanding shares of the Common Stock of RII (assuming
exercise of the Warrant).

          (b)  Mr. Gallagher exercises sole voting and dispositive
power for 15,000 shares of the Common Stock.

          (c)  On July 22, 1994, Mr. Gallagher acquired 15,000 shares
of RII Common Stock in the open market at $0.875 per share

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.

          (a)  Mr. Cohen, individually, beneficially owns
5,000 shares of the Common Stock constituting 0.01% 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
10,348,965 shares of RII Common Stock owned by Mr. Griffin (of
which 5,682,115 shares are issued and outstanding and
4,666,850 shares are issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
held by ARH) and 15,000 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 10,368,965 shares
of the Common Stock constituting 24.4% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of the Common Stock of RII (assuming
exercise of the Warrant).

          (b)  Mr. Cohen exercises sole voting and dispositive power
for 5,000 shares of the Common Stock.

          (c)  On July 22, 1994, Mr. Cohen acquired 5,000 shares of RII
