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

Sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $4,742,000 compared to $5,001,000 in
1997. For the nine month period, 1998 sales were $15,594,000 compared to
$16,984,000 in 1997, an 8% decrease. The Toy Segment's third quarter sales
totaled $1,655,000 compared to $2,359,000 in 1997, while the nine month 1998
sales totaled $7,243,000 compared to $9,401,000, in 1997. The Mechanical
equipment group's third quarter sales totaled $3,087,000 compared to $2,642,000
in 1997, while the nine month sales totaled $8,351,000 compared to $7,583,000 in
1997.

Gross profits for the third quarter 1998 totaled $1,534,000 compared to
$1,033,000 in 1997. For the nine month period, 1998 gross profits were
$4,760,000 compared to $4,592,000 in 1997.

Third quarter toy division sales have continued to decline, consistent with the
industry. The decline in sales is evident for both the large manufacturers as
well as smaller competitors. The lack of any major license or product continues
to hamper any growth. Management has placed its efforts in reviewing product mix
and customer base as well as personnel structure in attempt to improve operating
results.

Third quarter Mechanical Equipment sales continue to show a small increase in
comparison to the comparable quarter in 1997. Management remains hopeful that
the fourth quarter of 1998 will reflect positive results from the enhanced
telecommunications product line as well as an improvement in Motor operations
market share.

Operating profit was $233,000 for the third quarter 1998 compared to a loss of
$199,000 in 1997. For the nine months, operating profit was $487,000 compared to
a loss of $752,000 in 1997.

Interest expense was $25,000 for the third quarter 1998 compared to $31,000 in
the same period last year. For the nine months, interest expense was $94,000
compared to $119,000 for 1997.

The net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $193,000 or 7 cents per share,
compared to a loss of $25,000 or 1 cent per share (basic and diluted) in the
comparable period of 1997. On a nine month basis, the net income was $462,000 or
17 cents per share compared to a loss of $288,000 or 11 cents per share (basic
and diluted) for the 1997 period.

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, 1998, the Company was provided
with $1,060,000 from operating activities as compared to a benefit of $213,000
in the corresponding period of the preceding year. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, the Company used $1,694,000 for investing activities,
principally for the purchase of short-term investments. In the corresponding
period of the preceding year, the Company used $405,000 for investing
activities, principally for the purchase of notes. Cash flows used in financing
activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $80,000 relate to
the payment of long-term debt.

        At September 30, 1998 the Company had working capital of approximately
$8,846,000 and a current ratio of 3.2 to 1. In addition, as described in Notes
to Financial Statements, the Registrant's Handi-Pac subsidiary has $946,000 of
long-term debt outstanding with the SBA. During the first quarter 1998, the
Company opened a limited credit facility with a bank for two subsidiaries which
includes a $300,000 sub-limit for direct borrowings and a $150,000 sub-limit for
documentary letters of credit all secured by certain of the Company's money
market funds. The Registrant considers its working capital, as described above,
