ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

          Effective February 3, 1997, Steven Toy Inc, a newly-
formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Steven Toy"),
acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Handi-Pac, Inc.,
d/b/a Steven Manufacturing Co., a Missouri corporation ("Handi-
Pac").  Handi-Pac manufactures and sells several lines of toys,
including "pre-school," "ride-on," "classic" and other educational
toys.

          In return for all of the outstanding shares of Handi-Pac
and other valuable consideration, the Registrant paid Bev Taylor,
the sole shareholder of Handi-Pac, the sum of $50,000 and granted
him the right to purchase fifty thousand (50,000) shares of the
Class A Common Stock of the Registrant.  In addition, a revocable
trust established by Mr. Taylor, assigned to Hi-Flier, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Hi-Flier"), without
recourse, all of its right, title and interest in certain
Promissory Notes made by Handi-Pac with a principal balance of
$350,000 in exchange for payment by Hi-Flier of $350,000, which
obligations are secured by certain assets of Handi-Pac.  The terms
of the transaction were negotiated on an arm's-length basis by non-
affiliated parties.

          Handi-Pac's gross sales of approximately $6.0 million
accompanied a net loss of approximately $700,000 in 1996.  The precise
gross sales and net loss cannot be determined until an audit of Handi-Pac's
results for 1996 is completed.  The Registrant anticipates losses will
continue into 1997.  The Registrant hopes that Steven Toy will generate
profits in 1998 and beyond as a manufacturer and seller of toys.
