NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
March 31, 1996
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.
All adjustments necessary (consisting of normal adjustments), in the
opinion of management, for a fair statement of results for the periods
indicated have been made.
Due to the seasonal nature of the toy business in which the Company is
engaged and the factors set forth in Management's Discussion and
Analysis, the results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of a full calendar year.
Note 2 - Inventories
The Company takes a physical inventory annually at each location. The
amounts shown in the quarterly financial statements have been determined
using the Company's standard cost accounting system. An estimate, based
on past experience, of the adjustment which may result from the next
physical inventory has been included in the financial statements.
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) cost method. Since inventories under the LIFO method
can only be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on
quantities and costs at that time, interim inventory valuation must be
based on estimates of quantities and costs at year-end.
Note 3 - Average Shares Outstanding
Unallocated ESOP shares are deducted from outstanding shares of Common
Stock to arrive at average shares outstanding.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OPERATIONS
- ----------
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased to
$5,321,000 from $7,011,000 for the comparable 1995 period. Domestic toy
sales decreased approximately $1,300,000 (77% of the decrease).
Domestic toy customers did not place orders for product for shipment in
the first quarter of 1996 because of the carryover of inventory from
year-end which reduced their "open to buy" dollars. The majority of the
decrease in domestic toy sales was in our "Home and Travel" category of
toys (approximately $1,200,000), which includes Hot Pocket Etch A
Sketch(registered) and Pocket Glitter Writer(registered). International
toy shipments were down slightly from the prior year (approximately $40,000).
The Diversified Products Division shipments were also down slightly
(approximately $140,000) although our Lithography operations experienced
record shipments for the first quarter of 1996, which were offset by
decreased shipments at Strydel, Inc., our injection molding facility.
The Company's business is seasonal, with approximately 60-70% of its
sales being made in the last six months of the calendar year in recent
years. Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, the dollar
order backlog in mid-May is not necessarily indicative of expectations
of sales for the full year. Subject to industry practice and comments
as detailed in the Registrant's annual Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, order receipts through May 10 are approximately
$12,600,000 versus $14,770,000 for the same period of 1995, or
approximately 15% behind the prior year.
Gross profit margin (percentage) for the first quarter of 1996 (7.3%)
decreased dramatically from the first quarter of 1995 (19.4%) primarily
due to the change in product mix as the sale of lower margin items had a
greater influence on overall margins because of the lower level of
sales. Manufacturing overhead variances, although slightly less than
the prior year in dollars, had a greater negative effect on margin
percentages because of the lower level of sales.
Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the first quarter of
1996 decreased to $2,751,000 from $2,787,000 for the comparable period
in 1995. Although the change is favorable, selling, administrative, and
general expenses as a percentage of sales amounted to 51.7% versus 39.8%
for the comparable 1995 period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The company's current ratio increased from 2.4 to 1 at December 31, 1995
to 3.5 to 1 at March 31, 1996. This change was the result of using cash
on hand, cash from the collection of accounts receivable, and non current
line of credit to reduce accounts payable, to pay income taxes owed on the
prior year profits, as well as to finance the loss for the first quarter
of 1996.
