The  following  constitutes  Amendment  No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the
undersigned,  Seth A.  Horowitz  and The  Estate  of  George Q  Horowitz  (the
"Schedule   13D").   This   Amendment   No.  1  amends  the  Schedule  13D  as
specifically set forth.

      Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Item 4      PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

      On June 28, 2007, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June
29, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"), with Brands Holdings Limited ("Parent") and
EWI Acquisition, Inc. ("Merger Sub") pursuant to which each of the holders of
the outstanding Common Stock will receive an aggregate of $33.00 per share in
cash.

      Under the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Common
Stock of the Issuer not held by Parent, Merger Sub or the Issuer, or by the
Issuer's stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights under Delaware law,
will be converted into the right to receive $33.00 per share in cash and Merger
Sub will thereafter merge with and into the Issuer with the Issuer being the
surviving corporation in the merger. As a result of the merger, the Issuer will
cease to be a publicly traded company.

      The Merger Agreement and related transactions are subject to the approval
of the Issuer's stockholders, the expiration or termination of applicable
waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
as amended, and certain other customary closing conditions, which are expected
to be completed during the second half of 2007.

      No members of the management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer will
be participating in the purchase of the Issuer.

      Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, The Estate of
George Q Horowitz entered into a voting agreement (the "Voting Agreement") in
which, subject to certain exceptions, it has agreed to vote or execute consents,
as applicable, with respect to such shares of Common Stock and any shares
acquired after the date of the Voting Agreement: (i) in favor of the approval of
the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
(ii) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement involving the Issuer
or its subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to, in any material
respect, prevent, impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or
adversely affect the merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement; and (iii) against any acquisition proposal other than an acquisition
proposal made by Parent.

      The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur of (1) the
effective time of the merger, and (2) the termination of the Merger Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof.

      The  Estate  of  George  Q  Horowitz  entered  into the  Voting  Agreement
following the termination,  with respect to The Estate of George Q Horowitz,  of
the Hidary Voting Agreement (as defined below).

      This description of the Voting Agreement and the Merger Agreement is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, the Merger
Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, copies of which have been
filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and
are incorporated herein by reference.

entered into a Voting Agreement with Hidary Group Acquisitions, LLC and Hidary

A. Horowitz and The Estate of George Q Horowitz (the "Hidary Voting Agreement"),
in which, subject to certain exceptions, Seth A. Horowitz and The Estate of
George Q Horowitz agreed to vote or execute consents, as applicable, with
respect to such shares of Common Stock and any shares acquired after the date of
the Hidary Voting Agreement: (i) in favor of the approval of the Agreement and

(iii) against any acquisition proposal other than an acquisition proposal made
by Hidary Group Acquisitions, LLC.

      The Hidary Voting Agreement subsequently terminated with respect to The
Estate of George Q Horowitz upon the termination of the Hidary Merger Agreement.
