April 15, 1999

Janex International, Inc.

Gentlemen:

In connection with the re-issuance of our report on our audit of the 1997
financial statements of Janex International, Inc. ("Janex" or the "Company"),
and our consent to the inclusion of such report in the Company's Form 10-KSB and
its ongoing filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, you agree to
indemnify and hold BDO Seidman, LLP, ("BDO") harmless from any and all
liabilities, costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever, including legal fees
incurred by us in defending ourselves in a lawsuit brought because of such
re-issuance.

BDO agrees that it will promptly notify Janex of any filed or threatened claim
within ten (10) days of such threat or receipt of notice of the commencement of
an action. BDO further agrees that Janex may assume the defense of any such
action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to BDO to be chosen by Janex. After
such notice, Janex will not be liable to BDO for any legal fees subsequently
incurred by BDO unless counsel employed by Janex to represent BDO reasonably
concludes that there exists a conflict of interest that prevents such counsel
from representing BDO.

Such indemnification is void and any advanced funds will be returned to Janex if
a court, after adjudication, finds us liable for malpractice.

Very truly yours,

/s/ BDO Seidman, LLP
BDO Seidman, LLP

The foregoing is accepted:

By: /s/Fred B. Gretsch                                      Date: April 28, 1999
