This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D originally filed by Joel Dupre, Pacific Million Enterprise Ltd., Joseph Takada, Cheng-Sen Wang and Albert H. Cheng with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 1995 (the "Schedule 13D") relates to the Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Sirco International Corp., a New York corporation (the "Issuer"), the principal executive offices of which are located at 24 Richmond Hill Avenue, Stamford, Connecticut 06901. Unless otherwise indicated, all terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Item 9. Purpose of Transaction. Item 9 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following: On June 8, 1995, Dupre entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1995, with Pacific, Wang and Cheng, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit M (the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which Pacific, Wang and Cheng delivered an irrevocable proxy to Dupre and granted Dupre the right to vote an aggregate of 266,666 shares of Common Stock and all shares of Common Stock subsequently acquired by them. In addition, Pacific, Wang and Cheng agreed not to dispose of any shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of Dupre except as contemplated by or provided for in the Pledge Agreement. The Voting Agreement will expire on June 1, 2000. Also on June 8, 1995, Dupre entered into an Option Agreement, dated as of May 1, 995, with Pacific, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 (the "Pacific Option Agreement"), and an Option Agreement with Albert H. Cheng, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit N-2 (the "Cheng Option Agreement"; together with the Pacific Option Agreement, collectively, the "Option Agreements"). Pursuant to the Option Agreements, Pacific granted to Dupre the right to acquire all 133,333 shares of Common Stock owned by it for a purchase price of $2.25 per share, and Cheng granted to Dupre the right to purchase all 44,444 shares of Common Stock owned by him for a purchase price of $3.38 per share. The Option Agreements also provide that Pacific and Cheng may not dispose of any shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of Dupre except as contemplated by or provided for in the Pledge Agreement. The Option Agreements will expire on May 30, 1999. The purpose of these transactions was to increase Dupre's control of the Issuer. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a "group" within the meaning of Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and, therefore, deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 681,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 56.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
