RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, the
following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment in
the Common Stock offered by this Prospectus. In particular, potential investors
are advised that statements contained herein or incorporated by reference into
this Prospectus expressing the beliefs and expectations of management regarding
the Company's future results or performance are forward looking statements based
on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The
following factors describe certain market risks associated with an investment in
the Common Stock and various of the risks and uncertainties which could cause
actual results to differ materially from management expectations.
DEPENDENCE ON PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS
In recent years, the Company's business has been heavily dependent on
purchases of promotional products by certain key customers including, but not
limited to, Philip Morris Incorporated ("Philip Morris") and the Pepsi-Cola
Company ("Pepsi"). Additionally, the business of the Company's recently acquired
subsidiary, Simon Marketing, Inc. ("Simon"), is heavily dependent on purchases
of promotional products and services by McDonald's Corporation or its
franchisees ("McDonald's") for which it receives an annual fee. The loss of any
of these customers or a significant reduction in their level of purchases from
the Company without an offsetting increase in purchases by new or other existing
customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
results of operations. The Company's agreements with Pepsi were terminated in
December of 1997 and the Company expects the volume of its business with Pepsi,
in the future, to be minimal in comparison to that of 1996 and 1997.
PROJECTED OPERATING LOSSES IN 1998
While the Company has been seeking new major promotional customers to
replace the Company's agreements with Pepsi, it is very unlikely that sales to
new customers, or increased sales to existing customers, in 1998 will materially
reduce the revenue shortfall caused by the termination of the Pepsi agreements.
The Company therefore expects to report operating losses for the balance of
1998. These operating losses will likely exert increasing pressure on the
Company's cash position. In the event of sustained operating losses, the Company
will incur difficulty in renewing existing credit facilities, or obtaining
additional financing. The Company may seek additional equity financing during
the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that such financing
will be available on acceptable terms, and any additional equity financing could
result in additional dilution to existing investors.
LIMITED CUSTOMER COMMITMENTS
As is generally the case with its other promotional product customers, the
Company's agreements with Philip Morris and McDonald's do not require them to
make a certain level of purchases. Instead, purchase commitments are represented
by purchase orders placed by the customers from time to time during the course
of a promotion. The actual level of purchases by Philip Morris and McDonald's
(and other promotional products customers) depends on a number of factors,
including the duration of the promotion and consumer redemption rates. Purchase
orders are generally subject to cancellation with limited penalty. Consequently,
the Company's level of net sales is difficult to predict accurately and can
fluctuate greatly from quarter to quarter.
3
<PAGE> 5
COMPETITION
Philip Morris and certain other customers seek competitive bids for their
promotional programs. The Company's profit margin depends, to a great extent, on
its competitive position when bidding and its ability to continually lower its
product costs after being awarded bids. Competition is expected to increase and
thus adversely impact the Company's profit margin in the future.
INTEGRATION OF NEW SUBSIDIARIES
The successful integration of the operations of the Company's new
subsidiaries, Simon, which was acquired on June 9, 1997, and Tonkin, Inc.
("Tonkin"), which was acquired on April 7, 1997, with those of the Company will
require, among other things, the coordination of the respective product and
promotional offerings of the Company, Simon and Tonkin related sales, marketing,
development and administrative activities. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not encounter unexpected difficulties in such integration or that
the expected benefits of the business combination will be realized. Any
unexpected delays or costs incurred in such integration could have a materially
adverse effect upon the Company.
EFFECT OF INDUSTRY CONDITIONS FACING THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMERS
The Company's business is heavily dependent on the promotional budgets of
its customers, which in turn are influenced by industry conditions and other
factors. Accordingly, industry conditions faced by Philip Morris in particular
and conditions in the tobacco industry in general are expected to impact the
Company's business. There can be no assurance that these conditions will not
lead to a reduction in advertising and promotional spending by Philip Morris, or
that Philip Morris will not change its advertising and promotional strategy in a
manner that reduces the use of promotional programs such as the Marlboro
Adventure Team, Country Store and Unlimited promotions. A significant reduction
in spending by Philip Morris on promotional product programs would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") has issued final
regulations with respect to promotional programs relating to tobacco products.
Such regulations, among other things, ban (i) gifts based on proof of purchase
of tobacco products or redeemable coupons, (ii) the use of tobacco brand names
or any other indices of tobacco brand identification on non-tobacco products
(e.g. T-shirts, hats, other clothing, gym bags and trinkets) and (iii)
brand-name sponsorship of sporting events, concerts and other events. These
regulations became effective on August 28, 1997, except for the ban on
brand-name sponsorship, which becomes effective August 28, 1998. In April 1997,
a federal district court in North Carolina ruled that the FDA did not have the
authority to restrict the use of tobacco brand identification on promotional
items and struck down this section of the regulations. This decision has been
appealed to the Fourth Circuit and, if it is overturned, these regulations could
have a material and adverse effect on the Company's sales to Philip Morris,
which in turn will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
results of operations.
Recently, certain tobacco companies, including Philip Morris, have been
negotiating with the state attorneys general and public health advocates to
settle pending and future litigation against these companies. The settlement
which is currently proposed would include a ban on promotional programs relating
to tobacco products. Even if the FDA regulations are not upheld, if such a
settlement is reached, it could have a material and adverse effect on the
Company's sales to Philip Morris, which in turn could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
PROMOTIONAL PRODUCT DEMAND
The Company's business is driven by spending by companies to promote their
corporate identities and brand name products. If the demand for brand name
products diminishes or if the companies decrease their use of promotional
product programs to promote their corporate identities and brands, the Company's
business could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company's
relationship with certain of its promotional products customers has been limited
to the sourcing of products being offered or sold by the customer in connection
with a single promotional program. There can be no assurance that such customers
will continue to use the Company to source products for future promotional
programs.
4
<PAGE> 6
DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN MANUFACTURING
The majority of the Company's net sales in recent years were attributable
to products manufactured by subcontractors located in Asia. The Company has no
long-term contracts with these manufacturing sources and often competes with
other companies for production facilities and import quota capacity. In
addition, certain Asian manufactures require that a letter of credit be posted
at the time a purchase order is placed. There can be no assurance that the
Company will continue to have the necessary credit facilities for the purpose of
posting such letters of credit. The Company's business is subject to the risks
normally associated with conducting business abroad, such as foreign government
regulations, political unrest, disruptions or delays in shipments, fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in economic conditions in
countries in which the Company's manufacturing sources are located. If any such
factors were to render the conduct of business in a particular country
undesirable or impractical, or if the Company's current foreign manufacturing
sources were to cease doing business with the Company for any reason, the
Company's business and operating results could be adversely affected.
IMPORTS AND IMPORT RESTRICTIONS
The importation of products manufactured in Asia is subject to the
constraints imposed by bilateral agreements between the United States and
substantially all of the countries from which the Company imports goods. These
agreements impose quotas that limit the quantity of certain types of goods,
including textile products imported by the Company, which can be imported into
the United States from those countries. Such agreements also allow the United
States to impose, under certain conditions, restraints on the importation of
categories of merchandise that, under the terms of the agreements, are not
subject to specified limits.
The Company's continued ability to source products that it imports may be
adversely affected by additional bilateral and multilateral agreements,
unilateral trade restrictions, significant decreases in import quotas, the
disruption of trade from exporting countries as a result of political
instability or the imposition of additional duties, taxes and other charges or
restrictions on imports.
Products imported by the Company from China currently receive the same
preferential tariff treatment accorded goods from countries granted "most
favored nation" status. However, the renewal of China's most favored nation
treatment has been a contentious political issue for several years and there can
be no assurance that such status will be continued. If China were to lose its
most favored nation status, goods imported from China will be subject to
significantly higher duty rates which would increase the cost of goods from
China. Any such increase could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company is dependent on several key personnel, including Gregory P.
Shlopak, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Patrick D. Brady,
President and Chief Operating Officer and Allan Brown, Chief Executive Officer
of Simon. The loss of the services of any one of them could have a material
adverse effect on the Company. Neither Mr. Shlopak nor Mr. Brady is subject to
an employment contract with the Company. The Company's continued success is also
dependent upon its ability to retain and attract skilled design, marketing and
management personnel.
ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
The Company expects to make acquisitions of other businesses which are
complementary to the Company's business or to enter into strategic alliances
with such businesses. There can be no assurance that such strategic alliances,
or any future acquisition or strategic alliance, will be completed or, if
completed, will result in long-term benefits to the Company. Further, if the
Company is not successful in its acquisition or strategic alliance endeavors,
the Company's operating results in the future may be adversely affected.
LITIGATION
A lack of success, or associated costs, in defending pending and potential
litigation involving the Company could adversely affect the Company's operating
results. Specifically, the Company has been named as a defendant in a putative
class action filed on October 18, 1995 in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York (BARRY HALLET, JR. V. LI & FUNG ET AL., Docket
No. 95 Civ. 8917)
5
<PAGE> 7
in which the plaintiff alleges that, in violation of the securities laws, the
Company and its officers made false and misleading statements concerning the
Company's stock. On March 4, 1998, the parties to this litigation reached an
agreement in principle to settle the case. The settlement agreement has been
preliminarily approved by the Federal District Court and notice of the
settlement agreement has been distributed to all class members. A hearing on the
final approval has been scheduled by the Court for June 26, 1998. Additionally,
Simon is a party to litigation in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California (SIMON V. PROMOTIONAL CONCEPT GROUP, INC., Case
No. SA-CV 93-156 AHS (EEx)), whereby Simon filed a complaint on February 11,
1993 alleging Promotional Concept Group, Inc. ("PCG") materially breached a
contract between Simon and PCG dated January 27, 1992 ("Contract"), under which
Simon and PCG engaged in a program designed to sell video cassette movies to
supermarkets. PCG, in turn, filed a counterclaim against Simon alleging, among
other things, wrongful termination and breach of the Contract. Simon and
Interpublic Group Inc., a corporate affiliate of PCG negotiating on behalf of
itself and PCG, has engaged in settlement discussions with Simon. At this time
no acceptable settlement proposal has emerged and the Company is unable to
express an opinion as to the outcome of either the settlement discussion or the
litigation. If the matter is not settled, trial will be to the court sitting
without a jury, and is currently set for July 21, 1998.

offers to buy, (b) in negotiated transactions, or (c) through other means. The
Shares may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale or a fixed offering price, which may be
changed, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated
prices. Such prices will be determined by a Selling Shareholder or by agreement

6
<PAGE> 8
offering, if any, and the terms and conditions of any such offering will be
described in a supplement to this Prospectus.
In connection with distribution of the Shares, the Selling Shareholders may
enter into hedging or other option transactions with broker-dealers in
connection with which, among other things, such broker-dealers may engage in
short sales of the Shares pursuant to this Prospectus in the course of hedging
the positions they assume with the Selling Shareholders. The Selling
Shareholders may also sell Shares short pursuant to this Prospectus and deliver
the Shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Shareholders may also
enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which may result in
the delivery of Shares to such broker-dealers who may sell such Shares pursuant
to this Prospectus. The Selling Shareholders may also pledge the Shares to a
broker-dealer and upon default the broker-dealer may effect the sales of the
pledged Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the
distribution of the Shares may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from a Selling Shareholder and/or
purchasers of Shares, for whom they may act. Such discounts, concessions,
commissions or fees will not exceed those customary for the type of transactions
involved. In addition, a Selling Shareholder and any such underwriters, dealers,
brokers or agents that participate in the distribution of Shares may be deemed
to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any profits on the sale of
Shares by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any of
such persons may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under
the Securities Act. Those who act as underwriter, broker, dealer or agent in
connection with the sale of the Shares will be selected by a Selling Shareholder
and may have other business relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries
or affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification of liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with any of the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
