herein and depending upon (i) the price and availability of the Preferred Stock
and the Common Stock, (ii) subsequent developments affecting Cyrk, (iii) Cyrk's
business and prospects, (iv) other investment and business opportunities
available to the Reporting Persons, (v) general stock market and economic
conditions, (vi) tax considerations and (vii) other factors deemed relevant, the
Reporting Persons may decide to increase or decrease the size of their
investment in Cyrk.

                Except as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting
Persons has any present plan or proposal which relates to, or could result in,
any of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item
4 of Schedule 13D. However, the Reporting Persons will continue to review the
business of Cyrk and, depending upon one or more of the factors referred to
above, may in the future develop such a plan or proposal.

                Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Board of Directors of Cyrk (the "Board") will be reconstituted to consist of
seven members, three of which will be designees of Overseas Toys. Overseas Toys
shall be entitled to three designees for director so long as Overseas Toys owns
securities representing at least 3,131,313 shares of Common Stock, and to two
designees for nomination for director so long as it owns securities representing
at least 1,565,656 shares of Common Stock, and to one designee for director so
long as it owns securities representing at least 782,828 shares of Common Stock.
As discussed in Item 5 below, the Preferred Stock held by Overseas Toys is
initially convertible into 3,030,303 shares of Common Stock, and the warrant
held by Overseas Toys represents a warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of
Preferred Stock which are initially convertible into 1,666,666 shares of Common
Stock. As discussed in Item 6 below, pursuant to the Voting Agreement,
stockholders holding approximately 31% of the currently outstanding Common Stock
have agreed to vote to elect Overseas Toys' nominees for director. In addition,
so long as Overseas Toys is entitled to nominate any such designees, Overseas
Toys will be entitled to name one designee as Chairman of the Board. Overseas
Toys has initially designated Burkle, Richard Wolpert and George Golleher as its
three nominees to the Board and Burkle as the Chairman.

                Pursuant to a Management Agreement between Cyrk and The Yucaipa
Companies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Yucaipa"), Yucaipa will
provide Cyrk with management and financial consultation services in exchange for
an annual fee of $500,000 per year. See "Management Agreement" in Item 6 below.
Burkle is the managing member of Yucaipa.

                So long as Overseas Toys beneficially owns securities
representing at least 782,828 shares of Common Stock and Cyrk complies with its
covenants under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Overseas Toys has agreed that
it will not (without the consent of Cyrk) acquire or propose to acquire
additional shares of Common Stock or solicit proxies in opposition to the board
of directors of Cyrk. However, if without the support of Cyrk's board of
directors any third party acquires more than 20% of the outstanding Common
Stock, solicits proxies or makes any announcement of its intent to do the
foregoing, then Overseas Toys may make a proposal to the disinterested members
of the board of directors to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or
solicit proxies. In addition, Overseas Toys may acquire shares of Common Stock
to preserve its voting power and the voting power of the parties to the Voting
Agreement, provided that any shares in excess of 23% of the outstanding shares
must be

                                     Page 7

<PAGE>

voted in proportion to the votes of all other shareholders on all matters
other than the election of Overseas Toys' nominations to the board of
directors. The securities acquired by Overseas Toys will not be subject to
any transfer restrictions other than those imposed by applicable securities
laws. Transferees will not be bound by the standstill provisions described in
this paragraph.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                (a) Overseas Toys acquired (i) 25,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
which are initially convertible into 3,030,303 shares of Common Stock, and (ii)
a warrant to purchase 15,000 additional shares of Preferred Stock which are
initially convertible into 1,666,666 shares of Common Stock. Thus, assuming
exercise of the warrant and the conversion of all the shares of Preferred Stock
owned by Overseas Toys, Overseas Toys would own 4,696,969 shares of Common
Stock. Following the issuance of such shares, and based upon the number of
shares of Common Stock reported as being outstanding in Cyrk's quarterly report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, such shares would constitute
approximately 23.0% of the Common Stock.

                    Pursuant to the Voting Agreement described in Item 6
below, certain  shareholders of Cyrk (the "Shareholders") are required, in
specific circumstances, to vote all of the shares of Cyrk's Common Stock held
by each such Shareholder in favor of the designees of Overseas Toys for
election to the Board of Directors of Cyrk. Certain of the Shareholders also
granted a proxy appointing Overseas Toys as such stockholders'
attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in each
Shareholder's name, to vote, express, consent or dissent, or otherwise to
utilize such voting power solely with respect to the election to the Board of
Directors of Overseas Toys' designees as set forth in the preceding sentence.
Accordingly, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting power over
the shares of Common Stock owned by the Shareholders. In addition, certain of
the Shareholders' disposition of the shares of Common Stock owned by such
shareholders is restricted under certain circumstances by the Voting
Agreement. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared
dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock owned by such shareholders.
The Shareholders own 4,869,046 shares of Common Stock, an amount which
represents approximately 31% of the currently issued and outstanding Common
Stock. Assuming exercise of the warrant and the conversion of all shares of
Preferred Stock owned by Overseas Toys as described above, following the
issuance of such shares, such shares combined with the shares of the
Shareholders would number 9,566,015, which would then constitute
approximately 46.8% of the Common Stock. The Reporting Persons expressly
disclaim any admission that they have beneficial ownership of, or any
pecuniary interest in, any shares of Common Stock except the 4,696,969 shares
with respect to which they possess sole dispositive power.

                (b) Burkle controls OA3, which controls Multi-Accounts, which in
turn controls Overseas Toys. Overseas Toys has sole voting and dispositive power
of 4,696,969 shares of Common Stock. See the response to Item 5(a) above.

                (c)        None, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons.

                (d)        None, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons.

                (e)        Not applicable.

SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                Overseas Toys and Cyrk have entered into a Securities Purchase

Voting Agreement. Yucaipa and Cyrk have entered into a Management Services
Agreement.

                SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between Overseas
Toys and Cyrk, Overseas Toys paid Cyrk $25 million for $25 million face amount
of convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase additional preferred
stock for $15 million. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for board
representation for Overseas Toys as described in Item 4 above, and also contains
the standstill provisions described in Item 4 above. The Securities Purchase
Agreement contains customary representation and warranties and covenants.

                VOTING AGREEMENT

                Pursuant to the Voting Agreement between Oversees Toys and
Patrick Brady, Allan Brown, Gregory Shlopak, the Cyrk International Foundation
and The Eric Stanton Self-Declaration of Revocable Trust, these stockholders
have agreed to vote all of their shares of Common Stock to elect three nominees
of Overseas Toys to the board of directors of Cyrk. These stockholders together
own approximately 31% of the currently outstanding Common Stock. In addition,
subject to certain exceptions, Messrs. Brady and Brown and the Cyrk
International Foundation and The Eric Stanton Self-Declaration of Revocable
Trust have agreed not to sell any of their shares of Common Stock until Cyrk's
2001 annual meeting.

                REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

                Overseas Toys and Cyrk entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement whereby Overseas Toys will have certain registration rights with
respect to the resale of (1) Overseas Toys' Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of any of its shares of Preferred Stock and (2) the warrant. The
Company has granted Overseas Toys an unlimited number of so-called "demand
registration rights" to require Cyrk to use its best efforts to register the
resale of these securities; however, Overseas Toys must sell in each demand
registration at least the greater of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock or the
remaining number of shares of Common Stock then held by Overseas Toys.

                In addition, if Cyrk registers for the resale of shares of
Common Stock for Cyrk's account or for the account of its other stockholders,
Cyrk also may have to include in the registration shares held by Overseas Toys.
Overseas Toys has an unlimited number of these so-called "piggyback registration
rights".

                MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

                Pursuant to a Management Agreement between Yucaipa and Cyrk,
Yucaipa will provide Cyrk with management and financial consultation services in
exchange for an annual fee of $500,000 per year. In addition, under the
agreement, Cyrk will pay Yucaipa a consulting fee equal to one percent of the
total purchase price for any acquisition or disposition transactions by Cyrk in
which Yucaipa provides consultation to Cyrk. Cyrk will also reimburse Yucaipa up
to $500,000 per year for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by it in connection with the performance of its duties under the Management
Agreement. The term of the Management Agreement is for five years, with
automatic renewals for successive five year terms at the end of each year unless
either Cyrk or Yucaipa elect not to renew. Upon a change of control of Cyrk, or
a termination of the Management Agreement by Cyrk other than for cause, Yucaipa
shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to amounts payable under
the Management Agreement for the remainder of the term, discounted to present
value.
