reflect all adjustments which are necessary in the opinion of management for a
fair presentation of the results for the periods stated.  All adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature.  Certain financial information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The
reader is referred to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Handi-Pac, Inc., d/b/a Steven
Manufacturing Co. (Handi-Pac).  Handi-Pac manufactures and sells several types
of toys, including pre-school, ride-on, classic and other educational toys.  The
purchase price for all of the outstanding stock of Handi-Pac was $50,000 in cash
and the issuance of a five year option to purchase 50,000 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock, at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.  In
addition, Hi-Flier Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, paid $350,000 to a trust
established for the benefit of the seller to acquire all of its right, title and
interest in certain secured promissory notes made by Handi-Pac with a principal
balance of $350,000.

     The acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  The financial statements reflect the operations of Handi-Pac from
the date of acquisition.  Refer to Form 8-K filed February 18, 1997 and Form 8-
K/A filed April 18, 1997 for a further explanation of the acquisition.

     As of September 30, 1997, there was no other long-term debt for the other
subsidiaries.

     There are currently letter of credit facilities available totalling
$650,000 secured by the Company's cash resources.  The Company has allowed its
bank line of credit to expire since there was no present need for a line of
credit and the Company was not willing to bear the expense of maintaining same.

     The Company has not had any borrowings under a former credit agreement for
several years, and does not anticipate any borrowings in the immediate future.

the purchase acquisition of Handi-Pac was consummated at January 1, 1996 and
January 1, 1997 and compares three month and nine month Pro Forma 1997 results
with the comparable 1996 results.  The results are not necessarily indicative
since the Registrant had no control of Handi-Pac's operations prior to the
purchase.

ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- -------   ---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

          A.   Results of Operations
               ---------------------

          The following management's discussion and analysis of results of
operations and financial condition include forward-looking statements with
respect to the Company's future financial performance.  These forward-looking
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical results of those currently
anticipated.

          Results for 1997 include the Handi-Pac operations acquired February 
3, 1997.

          Sales for the third quarter of 1997 were $5,001,000  compared to
$5,088,000  in 1996, a 2% decrease.  For the nine month period, 1997 sales were
$16,984,000 compared to $14,667,000 in 1996, a 16% increase.  The Toy Segment's
third quarter sales totaled $2,359,000 compared to $2,545,000 in 1996 while the
nine month 1997 sales totaled $9,401,00 compared to $6,929,000,  a 36% increase
from the prior period.  The Mechanical equipment group's third quarter sales
totaled $2,642,000 compared to $2,543,000 in 1996,  a 4% reduction while the
nine month Mechanical equipment group sales in 1997 totaled $7,583,000 compared
to $7,738,000 in 1996, a 2% reduction.

          The third quarter Toy Group sales were reduced from the prior year's
quarterly sales due to seasonal factors and a negative sales climate.  On a nine
month basis, Toy Group sales were higher than the comparable prior period due to
the inclusion of Handi-Pac.  Management continues to progress in it's challenge
to improve the results of the Toy Group.  In this regard, during the third
quarter, 1997, a wholly-owned subsidiary acquired the assets of Confectionery
and Novelty Design International, LLC ("CANDI"), a Northbrook, IL maker of
candy-filled toy products.  While this acquisition was not a material purchase,
it represents a step to improving overall results.  In addition, with certain
management changes currently in process, it is hoped that improved results will
be forthcoming.  Management continues to attempt to pursue its market share in
spite of the continuing negative sales climate and lack of significant new
licenses.

          The third quarter 1997 Mechanical Equipment Group sales reflect a
small increase as compared to the prior year's quarter, while the nine month
comparative sales are about 2% less than last year.  The changes in sales were
due to minor variations in order patterns.

          Operating losses were $199,000 for the 1997 third quarter compared to
operating losses of $346,000  during the third quarter of 1996.  For nine
months, the operating losses were $752,000 in 1997 compared to operating losses
of $1,887,000 in 1996.  The reduction of operating losses both for the
comparable quarters and nine months to date relates primarily to cost reductions
instituted in the Toy Segment during the 1997 year.

          Interest expense was $31,000 for the quarter compared to $-0- in the
same period last year.  For the nine month period, interest expense was $119,000
compared to $25,000 last year.  The interest expense for the quarter and nine
months in 1997 all relates to the Handi-Pac subsidiary.

          The net loss for the third quarter of 1997 was $25,000 compared to a
net loss of $193,000 for the comparable 1996 third quarter.  For the nine months
1997, the net loss was $288,000 compared to a net loss of $1,115,000 in 1996 .

          Please refer to Note 2 for a further explanation of the Handi-Pac
acquisition which occurred February 3, 1997.

         B.   Liquidity and Capital Resources
              -------------------------------

              For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company
generated $213,000 from operating activities as compared to a use of $1,164,000
in the corresponding period of the preceding year. The principle reason for the
increased cash flow in 1997 is the lower net loss in the 1997 period. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company used $405,000 for investing
activities, principally for the purchase of notes. In the corresponding period
of the preceding year, the Company used $2,044,000 for investing activities,
principally for the purchase of short-term investments. Cash flows used in
financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 of $132,000
relate to the payment of long-term debt.

              At September 30, 1997 the Registrant had working capital of
approximately  $7,044,000  and a current ratio of 2.2 to 1.  In addition, as
described in Notes to Financial Statements, the Registrant's Handi-Pac
subsidiary has $979,000 of debt outstanding with the SBA.  Also, as described in
Notes to Financial Statements, in February, 1997, a subsidiary of the Registrant
paid $50,000 for the outstanding stock of Handi-Pac and in addition another
subsidiary purchased $350,000 of Handi-Pac's promissory notes as part of the
acquisition.  The Registrant considers its working capital, as described above,
to be more than adequate to handle its current operating capital needs.
