management must meet with significant vendors to discuss and implement future
credit and supply arrangements.

Part IV (3) Explanation
In response to Part IV(3), the registrant wishes to advise that the Company
expects to show, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, a sales
increase of approximately $3,519,845, or 13%, over its sales of $27,171,663 in
the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The Company also expects to show a loss
for the nine months due to operating losses incurred during the six months ended
December 31, 1999 coupled with losses incurred by the internet start-up
operations and the impact of the minority interest in the profits generated by
the Toys International.Com, Inc. subsidiary. There was no such minority interest
during the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The Company expects to show a
net loss in excess of $3,000,000 during the nine month period ended December 31,
1999 as compared to the $1,008,143 profit for the same period ended December 31,
1998.
