APPENDIX A
The Company changed its principal auditors during this period and is
in the process of having its new auditors review its prior statements in order
to provide comparison information, which is in the process of completion. In
addition, the Company has spun-off one of its subsidiaries and has acquired
2two others during this time period and has had delays in compiling the
information from such companies.
APPENDIX B
It is currently anticipated that the results of operations for the
three and six month periods ended September 30, 1996 will reflect an overall
level of activity due to (i) the spin-off of the Company's shares of Play
Co. Toys & Entertainment Corp. ("Playco") which occurred as of August 15,
1996 and resulted in only a partial period of activity as compared to the prior
year, and (ii) the decrease sales volume of Playco. It is expected that the net
loss from operations resulting from Playco's sales will be lower for the three
and six month periods ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods
of the prior year.
Due to acquisitions of majority interests of two development stage
companies, effective July 31, 1996, and the related accounting issues regarding
the recording of certain transactions, the Company may be required to record
adjustments to the book value of the m4inority interest in these two
entities. The effect of such accounting is in the process of being determined.
