BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing broad corporate
policies and for overseeing the performance of the Company, although it is not
involved in day-to-day operations. Members of the Board are kept informed of the
Company's business by various reports and documents sent to them in anticipation
of Board meetings as well as by operating and financial reports presented at
Board and various Committee meetings. A new Board of Directors was elected upon
the Effective Date (the "Effective Date") of the Company's Plan of
Reorganization ("Reorganization Plan") (April 11, 1997). The new Board of
Directors held 2 meetings during 1997 with 100% attendance by the directors.

The Board does not have audit, nominating or other corporation committees, but
acts, as a whole, in performing the functions of such committees.

Directors will not receive any compensation for services rendered in their
capacity as Directors; however, they will receive reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in respect of attendence at meetings.

SECTION 16(A)  BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company's
directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of the Common Stock
are required to report their initial ownership of the Company's equity
securities and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established,
and the Company is required to disclose any failure to file by these dates with
respect to 1997. Based on representations of its directors and executive
officers and copies of reports they have filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, there were no late reports filed for 1997.

(1)  Unless terminated sooner in accordance with the officer's individual
     employment agreements.

(2)  36,111 of the options granted to Mr. Wasserman have an exercise price of
     $10.00 per share and 325,000 of the options have exercise prices ranging
     from $12.00 to $16.00 per share.

     has been determined on the basis of the estimated per share market price at
     the time the options were granted, net of exercise price, compounded
     annually over the term of the option. These values have been determined
     based upon assumed rates of appreciation and are not intended to forecast
     the possible appreciation, if any, of the price or value of the New Common
     Stock.

(4)  Options expire on various dates during the year 2007. Exercise price shown
     is an average of all grants.

(5)  The value has not been determined due to the extremely limited amount of
     trading activity in the Company's New Common Stock.

(1)  The Company's New Common Stock was not issued until April 11, 1997, the
     Effective Date of the Reorganization Plan. The value of unexercised
     in-the-money options at year end has not been determined due to the
     extremely limited amount of trading activity in the Company's New Common
     Stock.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Effective September 1, 1996, the Company entered into a five-year employment
agreement with Gerald B. Wasserman employing him as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The employment agreement will be renewed
automatically for successive one-year periods unless either party provides
timely notice. As compensation for his services during the term of his
employment agreement, Mr. Wasserman is entitled to receive a base salary at a
rate of $350,000 per year, which base salary may be increased by the Board of
Directors on an annual basis. In addition, Mr. Wasserman was granted options to
purchase an aggregate of 722,222 shares of the Company's New Common Stock (of
such options, options to purchase 650,000 shares were granted in 1996). An
option (the "First Option") with respect to 361,111 of such shares was granted
at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, and an option (the "Second Option",
and together with the First Option, the "Options") with respect to 361,111 such
shares was granted at exercise prices ranging from $12.00 per share through
$16.00 per share. Subject to the provisions of the employment agreement related
to early termination, the Options have a term of ten years from the date of
grant and vest in five equal annual installments on September 1 of each year,
commencing on September 1, 1997.

In the event the Company terminates Mr. Wasserman's employment without "cause",
as defined, the Company will be obligated to make severance payments to Mr.
Wasserman in an aggregate amount equal to six months of then-current base salary
for each completed year of service up to an aggregate amount equal to one-year's
then-current base salary. In addition, all granted but unvested First Options
will vest immediately and Mr. Wasserman will be entitled to any options which
have vested as of the date of such termination. In the event the Company
terminates the employment agreement for "cause", as defined, all of the
Company's obligations under the employment agreement will terminate as of the
date of such termination, except that Mr. Wasserman wil be entitled to any
Options which have vested as of such date. If Mr. Wasserman resigns by reason of
a Downgrading Event following a Change of Control (both as defined therein), the
Company will be obligated to pay him an aggregate of twelve months of
then-current base salary. Upon a Change of Control, all Options will vest
immediately.

Effective September 1, 1997, Russell J. David was elected Senior Vice-President,

bonus of 20% of his salary for the first year of his employment. Mr. David also

Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. These options have a term
of ten years, vest ratably over five years and vest immediately upon a

to receive as severance one year's salary in the first year of service with the
Company and up to a maximum of fifteen months thereafter.

Effective January 27, 1997, Gordon T. Halliday was elected Senior
Vice-President, Operations of the Company. Mr. Halliday receives annual

to participate in the Company's bonus plan up to a maximum of 40% of
then-current salary with a bonus of 20% of Mr. Halliday's salary guaranteed in
the first year of his employment. Mr. Halliday has also been granted stock

exercise price of $10.00 per share. These options have a term of ten years and
vest ratably over five years, with all options fully vested upon a termination
of Mr. Halliday's employment without "cause". Upon three months' notice of

receive as severance six months' salary per year of service with the Company up

                                       5
<PAGE>



Effective January 9, 1997, David Terreri was elected Vice-President,
Distribution & Customer Service of the Company at a base salary of $175,000 per
year, subject to annual review. Mr. Terreri is also eligible to participate in

employment. Mr. Terreri has been granted stock options to purchase 50,000 shares

three months' notice of termination of employment by the Company, Mr. Terreri
will be entitled to receive as severance six months' salary per year of service
in the first year of service and twelve months' salary per year of service with
the Company thereafter up to a maximum of fifteen months.

RETIREMENT AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS

The Company does not maintain a defined benefit plan, nor does the Company
maintain a long-term incentive plan. The Company does maintain a 401(K) defined
contribution plan for its U.S. employees, under which the Company makes a
matching contribution of up to 50% of eligible employee contributions. During
the year ended December 31, 1997, matching contributions totaling $2,400 were
made to the Company's executive officers.

 PERFORMANCE GRAPH 

Normally, the Company would present a graph comparing the cumulative total
stockholder return on the Company's Common Stock with that of the NASDAQ
Composite Index for U.S. companies and the Dow Jones Recreation Products Group
which is comprised of toy, entertainment, sporting goods, recreation and leisure
product companies. However, on April 11, 1997, as a result of the Company's
reorganization, all outstanding shares of the Company's Old Common Stock were
converted into warrants to purchase shares of the Company's New Common Stock. In
addition, since April 11, 1997 there has been extremely limited trading volume
of the Company's New Common Stock. Therefore, a performance graph is not
presented as it would not be meaningful.
