STEINER LEISURE

OUR BUSINESS

Steiner Leisure is the leading worldwide provider of spa services and skin
and hair care products on board cruise ships. We strive to create a relaxing and
therapeutic environment where customers can receive body and facial treatments
and hair styling comparable in quality to the finest land-based spas and salons.
Steiner Leisure also develops and markets premium priced, high quality personal
care products that are sold primarily in connection with the services we
provide. As of March 1, 1999, we served 99 cruise ships representing 26 cruise
lines, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, Celebrity and
Cunard. Our services are provided under agreements with cruise lines which range
in duration from one to six years.

Steiner Leisure provides its shipboard services in treatment and fitness
facilities located on cruise ships. On newer ships, our services are provided in
enhanced, large "spa" facilities. Many of these facilities offer enlarged
fitness and treatment areas, generally located in a single passenger activity
area. As of March 1, 1999, 37 of the 99 ships that we served had large spa
facilities. Our services include massage, hydrotherapy (water-based) treatments,
aromatherapy treatments, seaweed wraps, saunas, steam rooms, aerobic exercise,
hair styling, manicures, pedicures and a variety of other specialized body and
facial treatments. Our range of services is designed to capitalize on the
growing consumer trend towards health awareness, personal care and fitness.
Ships with large spas provided us with average weekly revenues of $35,054 in
1997 and $36,373 in 1998, as compared to average weekly revenues of $10,276 in
1997 and $10,607 in 1998 for the other ships we served.

In addition to our shipboard services, we sell a variety of beauty and hair
care products under our "Elemis" and "La Therapie" trademarks. The raw materials
for these products are produced for us by a premier French manufacturer. We also
sell a variety of hair care products under the "Steiner" name. In total, we
offer over 160 different products. These products include beauty preparations,
such as aromatherapy oils, cleansers and creams, other skin care preparations,
and accessories and hair care products, such as shampoos, moisturizers and
lotions. Steiner Leisure sells its products primarily on board the ships that we
serve. We also sell products through land-based retail and wholesale outlets,
mail order and our website at www.steinerleisure.com. During 1998, services
accounted for approximately 59% of our revenues and products accounted for
approximately 41% of our revenues.

<PAGE> 6

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our business strategy is directed at maintaining and enhancing our position
as the leading worldwide provider of spa services and related products on board
cruise ships. To do so, we:

- employ skilled personnel who are trained at our facilities in Steiner
Leisure's philosophy of customer care and outstanding personal service;

- utilize experienced shipboard management to implement our customer care
philosophy and empower management to make day-to-day operational
decisions, including those necessary to maximize shipboard revenues;

- develop and deliver high quality, innovative services and products that
provide a richly rewarding experience to our customers;

- effectively market our services and products, including through a variety
of pre-cruise purchase programs and shipboard promotions; and

- maintain close relationships with cruise lines, to position us to renew
our cruise line agreements as they expire and obtain cruise line
agreements for new ships as they are brought into service.

OUR GROWTH STRATEGY

Steiner Leisure's strategy for growth includes the following principal
elements:

- serve new ships introduced by our cruise line customers;

- capitalize on the trend of cruise ships to offer larger spa facilities
located in a single passenger activity area;

- increase product sales through both shipboard and land-based marketing
efforts;

- increase the productivity of our shipboard staff;

- seek land-based opportunities to sell our services and products,
including through facilities operated by us; and

- consider acquisitions compatible with our operations.

IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR STRATEGIES

We believe that we have effectively implemented our business and growth
strategies since our initial public offering in November 1996 by:

- commencing to serve 16 new cruise ships brought into service by our
cruise line customers;

- renewing all expiring cruise line agreements that we sought to renew;

- repackaging and reformulating our "Elemis" product lines to keep current
with changing consumer tastes;

- commencing operation of our first land-based facility -- the luxury spa
at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in The Bahamas;
5
<PAGE> 7

- granting rights for the operation of three Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres
in Hong Kong;

- training our shipboard staff on new treatment methods and on sales
techniques to maximize productivity; and

- updating our Internet website to facilitate on-line shopping by our
customers.

NEW SHIPS COMING INTO SERVICE

As of March 1, 1999, cruise lines served by Steiner Leisure were scheduled
to introduce nine new ships into service in 1999. We expect to perform services
on eight of these ships, including six that are currently covered by cruise line
agreements. Six of these eight ships will have large spa facilities.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth, or incorporated by
reference, in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk
factors relating to Steiner Leisure before purchasing our common shares.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR AGREEMENTS WITH CRUISE LINES

Our revenues are generated primarily on cruise ships. Under our agreements
with cruise lines, we provide services and products paid for by cruise
passengers. The cruise line agreements have specific terms, ranging from one to
six years, with an average remaining term per ship as of March 1, 1999, of
approximately two years. As of that date, cruise line agreements that expire
within one year, including the agreement with Royal Caribbean, covered 40 of the
99 ships served by us. These 40 ships accounted for approximately 36.1% of our
1998 revenues. We cannot assure you that any of these agreements will be renewed
after its expiration date or that any renewal will be on similar terms. These
agreements provide for termination by the cruise lines with limited or no
advance notice under certain circumstances, including, among other things,
failure of a cruise line to meet a specified passenger occupancy rate, the
withdrawal of a vessel from the cruise trade, the sale or lease of a vessel or
our failure to receive specified passenger service rankings. As of March 1,
1999, agreements for three ships provided for termination for any reason by
cruise lines on six months' notice, for eight ships on 90 days' notice and for
one ship on 60 days' notice. Our cruise line agreements may, therefore, be
terminated prior to their specified termination dates.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THE CRUISE INDUSTRY

Our revenues are generated principally from cruise ship passengers.
Therefore, the ability of the cruise industry to attract passengers is critical
to our results of operations and financial condition. According to the Cruise
Lines International Association, a trade association, the passenger volume of
cruises marketed primarily to North American consumers increased from
approximately 2.2 million passengers in 1985 to approximately 5.0 million in
1997. The cruise industry may not continue to grow or may decrease in size in
the future. A decrease in passenger volume could adversely affect us.

The cruise industry is subject to significant risks that could affect our
results of operations. The cruise lines operate in waters and call on ports
throughout the world, including geographic regions that from time to time
experience political and civil unrest and armed hostilities. Historically, such
events have adversely affected demand for cruise vacations. The cruise industry
may be adversely affected by severe weather conditions, both at sea and at ports
of embarkation. Publicized operational difficulties or outbreaks of disease on
cruise ships also could adversely affect the cruise industry. The cruise
industry is dependent to a significant extent on airlines to transport
passengers to ports of embarkation. Any strikes or other disruptions of airline
service could adversely affect the ability of cruise passengers to reach their
ports of embarkation.

Cruise lines compete for consumer disposable leisure time dollars with
other vacation alternatives such as land-based resort hotels and sightseeing
vacations. In addition, public demand for vacation activities is influenced by
general economic conditions. A majority of cruise passengers served by us reside
in North America. Periods of general economic

9
<PAGE> 11

recession, particularly in North America, could have a material adverse effect
on the cruise industry and could also materially adversely affect us.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON CERTAIN CRUISE COMPANIES

The number of independent cruise companies has decreased in the past few
years as a result of the consolidation of the cruise industry. Industry analysts
believe that further consolidation of the cruise industry may occur. Our
revenues are dependent to a significant extent on a limited number of cruise
companies. Revenues from passengers of each of the following cruise companies
accounted for more than ten percent of our revenues in 1998: Carnival (including
Costa, Holland America, Seabourn, Windstar and Cunard) -- 34.7%; Royal Caribbean
(including Celebrity) -- 30.1%; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company (including Princess, P&O and P&O European Ferries) -- 12.9%. These
companies also accounted for 66 of the 99 ships served by us as of March 1,
1999. If we cease to serve one of these cruise companies, or a substantial
number of ships operated by a cruise company, it could adversely affect our
results of operations. As a result of industry consolidation, a small number of
cruise companies, all of whom currently are our customers, dominate the cruise
industry. If any of these large cruise companies discontinues its relationship
with us or incurs economic problems, our results of operations could be
adversely affected.

WE ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE MINIMUM PAYMENTS UNDER OUR AGREEMENTS

Steiner Leisure is obligated to make minimum payments to certain cruise
lines, as well as in connection with the Atlantis Spa, regardless of the amount
of revenues we receive from customers. Accordingly, we could be obligated to pay
more than the amount collected from customers or might not receive revenues
sufficient to cover our costs. As of December 31, 1998, these minimum payments
are required by cruise line agreements covering a total of 67 ships served by us
and three additional ships not yet in service, as well as in connection with the
Atlantis Spa. As of December 31, 1998, we had guaranteed total minimum payments
(excluding payments based on passenger loads applicable to certain ships served
by us) of approximately: $20.7 million in 1999, $16.9 million in 2000, $14.4
million in 2001 and $2.9 million in 2002.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY OFFICERS AND QUALIFIED SHIPBOARD EMPLOYEES

Our continued success depends to a significant extent on our senior
officers, including Clive E. Warshaw, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, Leonard I. Fluxman, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Michele
Steiner Warshaw, Executive Vice President. Mr. Warshaw and Ms. Warshaw are
husband and wife. The loss of services of any of these persons or other key
management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Steiner Leisure has employment agreements with Mr. Warshaw, Mr. Fluxman and Ms.
Warshaw, and key person life insurance policies on their lives. Our continued
success is also dependent on our ability to recruit and retain personnel
qualified to perform our shipboard services. Shipboard employees typically are
employed pursuant to agreements with terms of eight months. We cannot guarantee
that we will be able to continue to attract a sufficient number of applicants
possessing the requisite skills necessary for our business. If we are unable to
attract a sufficient number of qualified applicants, our business could be
materially adversely affected.

10
<PAGE> 12

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A SINGLE PRODUCT MANUFACTURER

Almost all of the ingredients and other materials for our "Elemis" and "La
Therapie" beauty products are produced by a single manufacturer pursuant to an
agreement terminating in 2001. If this manufacturer ceased producing these
ingredients and other materials for our products, the transition to other
manufacturers could result in significant production delays. Any significant
delay or disruption in the supply of our products could have a material adverse
effect on our product sales.

POSSIBLE CHANGES IN THE TAXATION OF STEINER LEISURE

Steiner Leisure is a Bahamian international business company ("IBC") that,
directly or indirectly, owns:

- CT Maritime Services, L.C., a Florida limited liability company that
performs administrative services in connection with our maritime
operations ("Maritime Services");

- Steiner Beauty Products, Inc., a Florida corporation that sells skin and
hair care products ("Steiner Beauty"); and

- Steiner Transocean Limited, a Bahamian IBC that operates our shipboard
business ("Steiner Transocean").

Steiner Leisure also owns all, or almost all, of the shares of additional
Bahamas, United Kingdom and other subsidiaries through which we conduct our
business.

Steiner Leisure is not subject to Bahamian tax. For United Stated federal
tax purposes Steiner Leisure will be considered engaged in business in the
United States by virtue of its membership interest in Maritime Services. As a
result Steiner Leisure will be subject to United States federal income tax at
regular corporate rates of up to 35% on its share of the United States-source
income and certain foreign-source income, if any, of Maritime Services. Steiner
Leisure may also be subject to a 30% branch profits tax on any portion of that
income that is not considered reinvested in the United States. Steiner Leisure
believes that none of our remaining income will be effectively connected with
our deemed conduct of business in the United States through Maritime Services
and, accordingly, that our remaining income will not be subject to United States
federal tax.

Steiner Beauty generally will be subject to United States federal income
tax at regular corporate rates up to 35% on all its worldwide income, including
its share of the income of Maritime Services.

Steiner Transocean is a Bahamian IBC and maintains an office in The
Bahamas. Steiner Transocean is not subject to Bahamian tax. For United States
federal tax purposes Steiner Transocean will be considered engaged in business
in the United States as a result of its membership interest in Maritime
Services. As discussed above, a foreign corporation generally is subject to
United States federal corporate income tax at a rate generally up to 35% on its
United States-source income and on certain of its foreign-source income that is
effectively connected to a business it conducts in the United States. In
addition, a foreign corporation conducting business in the United States may be
subject to a 30% branch profits tax on income from that business that is not
considered reinvested in the United States. Steiner Transocean may be subject to
both federal corporate income tax and the branch profits tax on its share of the
income of Maritime Services. We believe that Steiner

11
<PAGE> 13

Transocean's income from its remaining activities will be foreign-source income,
none of which will be effectively connected to a business it conducts in the
United States. This belief is based on:

- all of Steiner Transocean's shipboard spa and salon services being
performed outside the United States and its possessions and their
respective territorial waters;

- passage of title and transfer of ownership of all beauty products sold by
Steiner Transocean taking place outside the United States; and

- the activities performed on behalf of Steiner Transocean in the United
States not being a material factor in generating income for Steiner
Transocean.

However, a portion of Steiner Transocean's income could be subject to
United States federal income tax:

- to the extent the first two activities described above were considered by
the IRS to occur in the United States, its possessions or territorial
waters; or

- if the activities performed on behalf of Steiner Transocean in the United
States were considered to be a material factor in generating Steiner
Transocean's income.

In that event, Steiner Transocean would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at
a rate of up to 35% and, possibly, branch profits tax at a rate of 30% on such
income.

Maritime Services will not itself be subject to United States federal
income tax. Instead, its income will flow through and be taxed to its members,
Steiner Leisure, Steiner Beauty and Steiner Transocean, as discussed above.

Maritime Services and Steiner Beauty may be subject to additional U.S.
state and local income, franchise and other taxes. Maritime Services receives
payments from Steiner Transocean in return for certain administrative services
it provides to Steiner Transocean. The United States Internal Revenue Service
(the "IRS") may assert that transactions between Maritime Services and Steiner
Transocean and between our other direct and indirect subsidiaries do not contain
arm's length terms. In that event, income or deductions could be reallocated
among the subsidiaries in a manner that could increase the taxable income of
Maritime Services. This reallocation also could result in the imposition of
interest and penalties.

Our United Kingdom subsidiaries provide goods and services to Steiner
Transocean. The United Kingdom Inland Revenue authorities may assert that these
transactions do not contain arms' length terms. In that event, income or
deductions could be reallocated among the subsidiaries in a manner that could
increase the U.K. tax on us. This reallocation also could result in the
imposition of interest and penalties.

In 1998, Steiner Leisure paid tax at an aggregate rate of 6.8% on its
income. We cannot assure that future income will be taxed at this rate.

Coiffeur Transocean (Overseas), Inc. ("CTO"), our former subsidiary, was
liquidated for United States federal and state income tax purposes during the
fourth quarter of 1996. As a result, CTO was treated as if it sold all of its
assets for fair market value on the date of that liquidation. Based on the value
of CTO's assets, determined by an unrelated party, we calculated CTO's U.S. tax
liability resulting from its liquidation at approximately $3.2 million. This
amount was paid in January 1997. However, if the IRS were successfully to
ascribe a higher value to CTO's assets, the tax liability resulting from CTO's
liquidation could be increased.

WE FACE COMPETITION ON SHIPS AND ON LAND

We compete with passenger activity alternatives on cruise ships and with
competing providers of similar services and products seeking agreements with
cruise lines. Gambling casinos, bars and a variety of shops are found on almost
all of the ships served by us. In addition, ships dock in ports which provide
opportunities for additional shopping as well as other activities that compete
with us for passenger attention and dollars. Cruise ships also typically offer
swimming pools and other recreational facilities and activities, as well as
musical and other entertainment, all without additional charge to the
passengers. A number of cruise lines currently perform the shipboard services
performed by us with their own personnel, and one or more additional cruise
lines could elect to perform these services themselves. There currently are
several other entities offering services to the cruise industry similar to those
provided by us. Additional entities, including those with significant resources,
also could compete with us in the future.

Our Atlantis Spa and the Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres compete with a
variety of other operators of land-based day spas and beauty salons, including
those with greater resources than Steiner Leisure.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US

Steiner Leisure's advertising and product labeling practices in the United
States are subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission and the Food
and Drug Administration, as well as various other federal, state and local
regulatory authorities. The contents of our products sold in the United States
are subject to regulation in the United States. We are subject to similar
regulation under the laws of the United Kingdom and certain European Union laws.
Federal, state and local regulations in the United States and non-United States
jurisdictions, including increasing regulation by the European Union, designed
to protect consumers or the environment could adversely affect or increase the
cost of advertising, manufacturing and packaging our products.

Steiner Leisure's land-based operations, including our Atlantis Spa and the
Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres, are subject to applicable regulations in the
locations where such operations are conducted. These regulations could adversely
affect our ability to sell or could increase the cost of our services and
products. Among other things, local immigration laws could impede our ability to
obtain work permits needed for Steiner Leisure-trained employees at our
land-based facilities.

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND OTHER POTENTIAL CLAIMS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US

The nature and use of Steiner Leisure's products and services could give
rise to product liability or other claims if a customer were injured while
receiving one of our services or suffered adverse reactions following the use of
our products. Adverse reactions could be caused by various factors beyond our
control, including hypoallergenic sensitivity and the possibility of malicious
tampering with our products. If any of these events occurred, we could incur
substantial litigation expense, receive adverse publicity and suffer a loss of
sales.

OUR NEW LAND-BASED OPERATIONS FACE VARIOUS RISKS

In February 1999, we began operating a spa facility at the Atlantis Resort
on Paradise Island in The Bahamas. During 1998 we licensed rights to a third
party to operate three

13
<PAGE> 15

Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres. These are land-based day spas in Hong Kong. We
may, in the future, grant rights to operate day spas at other locations. Before
these operations, we had no experience in land-based spa operations or the
operation of a licensed business. In order to successfully conduct
company-operated land-based businesses such as our Atlantis Spa, we will be
dependent on our ability to hire and retain the services of qualified personnel.
The future success of Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres is also dependent on our
ability to obtain area development and license agreements with parties who can
successfully operate these facilities. To date, no agreements have been reached
with any parties outside of Hong Kong. We are not certain that any other license
agreements will be entered into in the future.

Our Atlantis Spa operations, and, for the foreseeable future, all of the
Elemis Beautiful Skin Centre operations, will be undertaken outside of the
United States. These operations are subject to certain risks, including adverse
developments in the foreign political and economic environment, varying
governmental regulations, foreign currency fluctuations, potential difficulties
in supervising foreign operations and potential adverse tax consequences.
Recently a number of countries in Asia, where the initial Elemis Beautiful Skin
Centres are located, have experienced economic difficulties and social unrest.
Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on these operations.

FAILURE TO OBTAIN YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE MAY HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON US

The term "Year 2000 issue" is a general term used to describe the various
problems that may result from the improper processing of dates and
date-sensitive calculations by computers and other machinery as the year 2000 is
approached and reached. These problems generally arise from the fact that most
of the world's computer hardware and software have historically used only two
digits to identify the year in a date, often meaning that the computer will fail
to distinguish dates in the "2000s" from dates in the "1900s." These problems
may also arise from other sources as well, such as the use of special codes and
conventions in software that make use of the datefield. Our failure, or the
failure of a cruise line customer or major third party supplier of ours, to
correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a
failure of, certain of our normal business activities or operations.

We believe that our biggest risks related to the Year 2000 issue are
associated with potential concerns with cruise line customers and major third
party services or products. The most reasonably likely source of Year 2000 risk
with respect to our cruise line customers would be the disruption of
transportation channels that deliver passengers to cruise ships. The disruption
of transportation channels could also impede our ability to deliver our products
to intended points of sale or the ability of our staff to report to the ships to
which they are assigned.

We have developed a compliance program to assess the overall impact to
Steiner Leisure of the Year 2000 issue and are in the process of developing
contingency plans that will attempt to mitigate certain of our Year 2000 risks.
We believe that our costs relating to implementation of our Year 2000 program
will not be material. However, if our Year 2000 compliance program or
contingency plans are ineffective or if the actual costs of implementing our
Year 2000 compliance program or contingency plans significantly exceed our
estimates, our business and results of operation could be materially adversely
affected.

WE ARE NOT A UNITED STATES COMPANY AND, AS A RESULT, THERE ARE SPECIAL RISKS.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum of Association and
Articles of Association, which are similar to the articles of incorporation and
bylaws of a United States corporation, and the International Business Companies
Act, 1989, of The Bahamas (the "IBC Act"). The provisions of the IBC Act
resemble certain existing and repealed provisions of the Companies Acts of
England and Wales and, in some respects, the laws of certain United States
jurisdictions. Although the United Kingdom and many United States jurisdictions
have fairly well developed bodies of case law interpreting their respective
corporate statutes, there are very few reported judicial cases decided in The
Bahamas interpreting the IBC Act. For example, the rights and fiduciary
responsibilities of directors under Bahamian law are not as clearly established
as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes or
judicial precedent in existence in the United Kingdom and certain United States
jurisdictions. In general, English case law is persuasive authority in The
Bahamas and decisions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the
United Kingdom (the court of final appeal for The Bahamas and other British
Commonwealth countries) on an appeal from The Bahamas Court of Appeal are
binding. Decisions of the House of Lords and rulings of the Privy Council which
relate to other Commonwealth countries are usually followed insofar as they
declare the common law of England which applies to The Bahamas, except where
this common law has been altered by Bahamian statute. Accordingly, the rights
and remedies of our public shareholders in the face of actions by our
management, directors or shareholders are less clearly established than would be
the case with a company incorporated in the United Kingdom or a United States
jurisdiction.

Certain of our directors and executive officers reside outside the United
States. A substantial portion of our assets and the assets of those persons are
located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to effect
service of process within the United States upon such persons. It also may not
be possible to enforce against them or Steiner Leisure judgments obtained in
United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the United
States federal securities laws. In the opinion of Harry B. Sands & Company, our
Bahamas counsel,

- it is unlikely that Bahamian courts would entertain original actions
against Bahamian companies or their directors or officers based solely
upon United States federal securities laws;

- judgments predicated upon any civil liability provisions of the U.S.
federal securities laws are not directly enforceable in The Bahamas;
rather, a lawsuit must be brought in The Bahamas on any such judgment;
and

- subject to considerations of private international law, in general, a
judgment obtained after due trial by a court of competent jurisdiction,
which is final and conclusive as to the issues in contention, is
actionable in Bahamian courts and is impeachable only upon the grounds of
(i) fraud, (ii) public policy and (iii) natural justice.

OUR STOCK PRICE HAS FLUCTUATED AND COULD FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY

Since our common shares have commenced being publicly traded, the market
price of our shares has fluctuated over a wide range and may continue to do so
in the future. The market price of our common shares could be subject to
significant fluctuations in response to various factors and events, including,
among other things:

- the depth and liquidity of the trading market for our common shares;

- quarterly variations in our actual or anticipated operating results;

- changes in estimates of our earnings by analysts;

- market conditions in the cruise industry;

- announcements or activities by our competitors; and

- general economic or market conditions.

The stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations, which may be unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. Furthermore, our operating results and prospects from time
to time may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.
Any such event could result in a material decline in the price of our common
shares.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS LIMIT SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO EFFECT A CHANGE IN
MANAGEMENT OR CONTROL

Our Articles of Association include certain provisions which may have the
effect of delaying or preventing a future takeover or change in control of
Steiner Leisure that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests.
Among other things, our Articles provide for a classified Board of Directors
serving staggered terms of three years, supermajority voting requirements with
respect to certain significant transactions and restrictions on certain
transactions with holders of 15% or more of the voting shares of Steiner
Leisure. We have an authorized class of 10,000,000 Preferred Shares that may be
issued in one or more series by the Board of Directors without further action by
the shareholders on such terms and with such rights, preferences and
designations as the Board of Directors may determine. Furthermore, our 1996
Share Option and Incentive Plan ("Share Option Plan") and certain of our
employment agreements provide certain rights to plan participants and our
officers in the event of a change in control of Steiner Leisure. We also intend
to present to our shareholders for their approval at our annual meeting, which
is anticipated to be held in June 1999, a proposal to amend our Memorandum of
Association to increase the number of common shares that we are authorized to
issue from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000. Such additional shares could be available
for use by us in opposing a hostile takeover attempt, or otherwise delay or
prevent changes in control or management of Steiner Leisure.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Steiner Leisure is the leading worldwide provider of spa services and skin
and hair care products on board cruise ships. We sell our services and products
to cruise passengers. Payments to cruise lines are based on a percentage of our
passenger revenues and, in certain cases, a minimum annual rental or a
combination of both. We also sell our services and products through land-based
channels.

Cost of sales includes:

- cost of services, including an allocable portion of wages paid to
shipboard employees, rent payments to cruise lines (which are a
percentage of service revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination
of both) and other staff-related shipboard expenses; and

- cost of products, including an allocable portion of wages paid to
shipboard employees, rent payments to cruise lines (as noted above) and
other staff-related shipboard expenses, as well as costs associated with
development, manufacturing and distribution of products.

Cost of sales may be affected by, among other things, sales mix, production
levels, changes in supplier prices and discounts, purchasing and manufacturing
efficiencies, tariffs, duties, freight and inventory costs. Certain cruise line
agreements provide for increases in the percentages of services and products
revenues payable as rent payments and/or, as the case may be, the amount of
minimum annual rental payments over the terms of such agreements. Rental
payments may also be increased under new agreements with cruise lines that
replace expiring agreements. In general, Steiner Leisure has experienced
increases in rental payments upon entering into new agreements with cruise
lines.

Cost of products includes the cost of products sold through our various
methods of distribution. To a lesser extent, cost of products also includes the
cost of products consumed in rendering services. This amount would not be a
material component of the cost of services rendered and would not be practicable
to identify separately.

Operating expenses include administrative expenses, salary and payroll
taxes. In addition, for the three year period ended June 1997, operating
expenses included goodwill amortization related to the acquisition of CTO.

Steiner Leisure is a Bahamian IBC. The Bahamas does not tax Bahamian IBCs.
We believe that income from our maritime operations will be foreign source
income that will not be subject to United States, United Kingdom or other
taxation. More than 83.7% of our income for 1998 was not subject to United
States or United Kingdom income tax. To the extent that our income from
non-maritime operations increases more rapidly than any increase in our
maritime-related income, the percentage of our income subject to tax would
increase. The income from our United States subsidiaries, Steiner Beauty and
Maritime Services, will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at
regular corporate rates (generally up to 35%) and may be subject to additional
U.S. federal, state and local taxes. Earnings from Steiner Training and Elemis
Limited, our United Kingdom subsidiaries which accounted for a total of 10.0% of
our pretax income for 1998, will be subject to U.K. tax rates (generally up to
31%).

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("ACSEC") issued Statement of Position
("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 establishes criteria for determining which
costs of developing or obtaining internal-use computer software should be
charged to expense and which should be capitalized. The Company adopted SOP 98-1
prospectively effective January 1, 1999. Management does not believe that the
adoption of SOP 98-1 will have a material effect on our financial position or
results of operations.

In April 1998, the ACSEC issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 establishes standards for the reporting and
disclosure of start-up costs, including organization costs. The Company adopted
SOP 98-5 effective January 1, 1999. Management does not believe that the
adoption of SOP 98-5 will have a material effect on our financial position or
results of operations.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for
the way that public companies report selected information about operating
segments in annual and interim financial reports to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about an enterprise's business
segments, products, services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No.
131, which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a
Business Enterprise," but retains the requirement to report information about
major customers, requires that a public company report financial and descriptive
information about its reportable operating segments. Generally, financial
information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally
for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to
segments. SFAS No. 131 requires that a public company report a measure of
segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and segment
assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 effective December 31, 1998. Management
operates the business of the Company as a single segment. As a result, no
additional disclosure was required.

1998 COMPARED TO 1997

REVENUES. Revenues increased approximately 20.7%, or $17.4 million, to
$101.4 million in 1998 from $84.0 million in 1997. Of this increase, $9.6
million was attributable to an increase in services revenues and $7.8 million
was attributable to an increase in products revenues. The increase in revenues
was primarily attributable to an average of six additional spa ships in service
and three additional non-spa ships in service in 1998 compared to 1997. We had
an average of 842 shipboard staff members in service in 1998 compared to an
average of 756 shipboard staff members in service in 1997. Revenues per staff
per day increased by 8.4% to $310 in 1998 from $286 in 1997.

COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services as a percentage of services revenues
decreased to 77.2% in 1998 from 78.0% in 1997. This decrease was due to an
increase in productivity of onboard staff during 1998. This decrease was
partially offset by increases in rent allocable to services on cruise ships
covered by an agreement that was renewed in December 1997.

COST OF PRODUCTS. Cost of products as a percentage of products revenues
decreased to 67.8% in 1998 from 68.2% in 1997. This decrease was due to an
increase in productivity of

21

onboard staff that was partially offset by an increase in rent allocable to
product sales on cruise ships covered by an agreement that was renewed in
December 1997. In addition, product sales to land-based customers, which have a
greater margin than product sales on board ships, increased at a greater rate
than sales on board ships.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 9.6% in 1998 from 11.1% in 1997. This decrease was primarily
attributable to completion in June 1997 of the amortization of intangible assets
relating to the acquisition of CTO. There was no amortization of intangible
assets in 1998.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes decreased to an
overall effective rate of 6.8% in 1998 from an overall effective rate of 8.6% in
1997 due to the impact of non-tax deductible amortization of intangibles in
1997. Without such amortization of intangibles, the overall effective rate in
1998 would have been 6.8%, compared to 7.9% in 1997. The decrease in the overall
effective rate is also partially attributable to income earned in jurisdictions
that do not tax our income increasing at a greater rate than income in
jurisdictions that tax our income.

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

REVENUES. Revenues increased approximately 20.7%, or $14.4 million, to
$84.0 million in 1997 from $69.6 million in 1996. Of this increase, $7.0 million
was attributable to an increase in services revenues and $7.4 million was
attributable to an increase in products revenues. The increase in revenues was
primarily attributable to an average of six additional spa ships in service in
1997. These six spa ships generated greater aggregate revenues to us than the
aggregate revenues generated by the average of seven non-spa ships that were in
service in 1996, but were not in service in 1997. Steiner Leisure had an average
of 756 shipboard staff members in service in 1997 compared to an average of 695
shipboard staff members in service in 1996. Revenues per staff per day increased
11.7% to $286 in 1997 from $256 in 1996.

COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services as a percentage of services revenues
increased to 78.0% in 1997 from 77.6% in 1996. This increase was due to an
increase in rent allocable to services on cruise ships covered by an agreement
renewal effective in the first quarter of 1997. This increase was partially
offset by increases in productivity of onboard staff during 1997.

COST OF PRODUCTS. Cost of products as a percentage of products revenues
decreased to 68.2% in 1997 from 70.7% in 1996. This decrease was primarily due
to lower product costs realized during 1997 compared to 1996. This was the
result of our acquisition of the "Elemis" and "La Therapie" product lines
(previously supplied to Steiner Leisure by third parties) in March 1996. Lower
product costs were partially offset by an increase in rent allocable to products
sales on cruise ships covered by an agreement renewal effective in the first
quarter of 1997.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 11.1% in 1997 from 14.2% in 1996 as a result of 1996 including a
full year of amortization of intangibles in connection with the acquisition of
CTO while 1997 included only five months of this amortization. Additionally,
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased because of the increase
in revenues generated from the additional spa ships in service during 1997.
These ships generated greater aggregate revenues to us than the

22
<PAGE> 24

aggregate revenues generated from non-spa ships in service during 1996 that were
not in service during 1997.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes decreased to an
overall effective rate of 8.6% in 1997 from an overall effective rate of 23.6%
(not giving effect to the non-recurring tax charge of approximately $3.2 million
related to the liquidation of CTO) in 1996. This was due to the impact of
greater non-tax deductible amortization of intangibles and interest expense in
1996 and certain tax benefits realized from the liquidation of CTO, which took
place during the fourth quarter of 1996. Without such amortization of
intangibles and interest expense, the overall effective rate in 1997 would have
been 6.3% compared to 17.2% in 1996.

QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY

The following table sets forth selected statement of operations data on a
quarterly basis for 1997 and 1998 and the percentage of revenues represented by
the line items presented. Although certain cruise lines have experienced
moderate seasonality, we believe that the introduction of cruise ships into
service throughout a year has mitigated the effect of seasonality on our results
of operations. In addition, decreased passenger loads during slower months for
the cruise industry has not had a significant impact on our revenues. However,
due to our dependence on the cruise industry, Steiner Leisure's revenues may in
the future be affected by seasonality. The quarterly selected statement of
operations data set forth below were derived from Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements of Steiner Leisure which, in the opinion of our management,
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for the fair presentation of those statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our business is operated with cash generated from operations. In November
1996, Steiner Leisure received net proceeds of approximately $9.7 million in
connection with an initial public offering of its common shares.

Cash flow from operating activities was $15.2 million in 1998, $11.6
million in 1997 and $9.0 million in 1996. These increases generally reflected
increases in net income as affected by income taxes payable in 1996 with respect
to the liquidation of CTO that were

23
<PAGE> 25

paid in 1997 and by an increase in inventories in 1998. Steiner Leisure had
working capital of approximately $35.9 million at December 31, 1998 compared to
$25.6 million at December 31, 1997.

In connection with the construction of the Atlantis Spa, we spent $3.0
million in 1998. We anticipate spending approximately $1.5 million in 1999 to
reimburse the owner of the Atlantis Resort for additional construction costs for
the Atlantis Spa. These approximately $4.5 million of capital expenditures will
be amortized over the ten-year term of our arrangement with the owner of the
Atlantis Resort.

During the fourth quarter of 1998, we purchased a total of 312,750 of our
common shares in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $4.9
million. These purchases were made pursuant to a share purchase program
authorized by our Board of Directors.

We believe that cash generated from operations is sufficient to satisfy the
cash required to operate our business. Any significant acquisition may require
outside financing. We currently do not have any agreement with respect to an
acquisition.

INFLATION

Steiner Leisure does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse
effect on revenues or results of operations. However, public demand for leisure
activities, including cruises, is influenced by general economic conditions,
including inflation. Periods of economic recession or high inflation,
particularly in North America where a number of cruise passengers reside, could
have a material adverse effect on the cruise industry upon which we are
dependent.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

We have developed a plan to assess the overall impact to Steiner Leisure
with respect to the Year 2000 issue. Part of our plan is to identify areas of
risk and to develop means to mitigate these risks. This includes assessing the
Year 2000 compliance of our cruise line customers and our major third party
suppliers.

In order for us to make an assessment of the Year 2000 risks that may have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations, we have conducted a
survey of our cruise line customers and major third party suppliers of services
and products. With respect to our cruise line customers, a number of those
surveyed have refused to respond for liability reasons, while others have failed
to respond without providing any reason therefor. The nine cruise lines that
responded expect to be Year 2000 compliant before January 1, 2000. We are
actively pursuing responses from the remaining 17 cruise lines that have not
responded.

With respect to our major third party suppliers, we obtained nine responses
or statements published through the Internet indicating that they expect to be
Year 2000 compliant prior to January 1, 2000. We are actively pursuing responses
for the remaining 44 major third party suppliers that have not responded. In the
absence of adequate responses, or other formal communication from either our
cruise line customers or our major third party suppliers, we are attempting to
make our own assessment as to their readiness.

We believe that our biggest risks related to the Year 2000 issue are
associated with potential concerns with cruise line customers and major third
party suppliers. The most reasonably likely source of Year 2000 risk with
respect to our cruise line customers would be the disruption of transportation
channels that deliver passengers to cruise ships. The disruption of
transportation channels could also impede our ability to deliver our

24
<PAGE> 26

products to intended points of sale or the ability of our staff to report to the
ships to which they are assigned.

We do not believe that there are contingency plans that we can effect that
can mitigate the risk of cruise line passengers being unable to reach cruise
ships as a result of any transportation disruption. We are in the process of
developing a contingency plan that would allow us to have available product
inventories sufficient for distribution to our intended points of sale in the
event a transportation disruption impairs our ability to obtain delivery of our
products. In addition, we intend to develop a schedule of deployment of our
shipboard staff to minimize the effect of any transportation disruption that
could occur around January 1, 2000. These contingency plans are subject to
uncertainties. We cannot guarantee that any estimate of the level, impact or
duration of Year 2000 non-compliance by our customers or suppliers will be
accurate, or that our contingency plans will be sufficient to mitigate these
risks.

In the event that any of our cruise line customers or major third party
suppliers do not successfully achieve Year 2000 compliance for their own
operations in a timely manner, our business or operations could be adversely
affected. The magnitude of any adverse effect cannot be quantified at this time
because of variables such as the type and importance of cruise line customers or
major third party suppliers that have not responded, the unknown level and
duration of noncompliance by these customers and suppliers (and their customers
and suppliers), the possible effect on our operations, and the Company's ability
to respond to any non-compliance.

Costs related to our actions to become Year 2000 compliant are funded
through cash from operating activities. We estimate that total costs related to
becoming Year 2000 compliant will be approximately $150,000, and approximately
$100,000 of this amount will be capitalized. Through December 31, 1998, we have
expended approximately $34,000 in connection with the Year 2000 issue. We
believe that the costs related to updating or replacing existing computer
systems in order to become Year 2000 compliant will not be material. However, in
view of the uncertainties relating to the Year 2000 compliant status of our
customers and suppliers, we cannot guarantee that our cost of dealing with the
Year 2000 issue will be consistent with the foregoing estimates or that the Year
2000 issue will not materially adversely affect Steiner Leisure's future
operations.

BUSINESS

GENERAL

In addition to our shipboard services, we sell a variety of beauty and hair
care products under our "Elemis" and "La Therapie" trademarks. The raw materials
for these products are produced for us by a premier French manufacturer. We also
sell a variety of hair care products under the "Steiner" name. In total, we
offer over 160 different products. These products include beauty preparations,
such as aromatherapy oils, cleansers and creams, other skin care preparations
and accessories and hair care products, such as shampoos, moisturizers and
lotions. Steiner Leisure sells its products primarily on board the ships that we
serve. We also sell products through land-based retail and wholesale outlets,
mail order and our website at www.steinerleisure.com. During 1998, services
accounted for approximately 59% of our revenues and products accounted for
approximately 41% of our revenues.

CRUISE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The passenger cruise industry has experienced substantial growth over the
past 30 years. The industry has evolved from a trans-ocean carrier service into
a vacation alternative to land-based resorts and sightseeing destinations. The
cruise market is comprised of luxury, premium and volume segments which appeal
to a broad range of passenger tastes and budgets. Steiner Leisure serves ships
in all of these segments. According to the Cruise Lines International
Association, a trade association ("CLIA"), the passenger volume of cruises
marketed primarily to North American consumers ("North American Cruises") grew
from approximately 2.2 million in 1985 to approximately 5.0 million in 1997,
representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 7.1%. As of March 1,
1999, we served 99 ships, approximately 84 of which offered North American
Cruises.

26
<PAGE> 28

According to a study reported by CLIA in 1998, passengers ranked as their
top reason for preferring cruising to other vacation types that cruises "allow
you to be pampered." Similarly, in comparing cruise vacations to other
vacations, customers of both ranked cruise vacations higher than resort
vacations in many categories. "Being pampered" achieved the greatest positive
distinction. We believe our services offer a therapeutic and indulgent
experience to passengers, and provide a memorable highlight of their cruise
vacation. As a result, we believe our operations are an important part of the
cruise ship experience.

In recent years, cruise lines have been building larger ships with large
spas dedicated to the types of health, beauty and fitness services offered by
us. Generally, these large spas offer enlarged fitness and treatment facilities,
are located on higher profile decks and have enriched decor. With respect to
certain ships, we participate in the design of these facilities. As of March 1,
1999, 37 of the ships that we served offered large spa facilities. The cruise
lines served by us are scheduled to introduce nine new ships into service in
1999. Steiner Leisure expects to perform services on eight of these ships,
including six that are currently covered by cruise line agreements. Six of these
eight will have large spa facilities.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our business strategy is directed at maintaining and enhancing our position
as the leading worldwide provider of spa services and skin and haircare products
on board cruise ships. To do so, we:

RECRUIT AND TRAIN HIGH QUALITY SHIPBOARD PERSONNEL. Steiner Leisure
provides services to our customers on a personal basis. We employ shipboard
staff who are professional, attentive and able to continue our tradition of
catering to the needs of individual customers. We recruit our staff
primarily from the British Isles, the rest of Europe and British
Commonwealth countries. We require prospective employees to be technically
skilled and to possess a willingness to provide outstanding personal
service. We train candidates in our philosophy of customer care. Our
training emphasizes the importance of an individualized and therapeutic
experience for our customers. We believe that our success is largely
attributable to our ability to staff our operations with highly trained
personnel who provide outstanding personal service.

UTILIZE EXPERIENCED AND EMPOWERED SHIPBOARD MANAGEMENT. Steiner
Leisure's shipboard operations are supervised by experienced managers who
implement our philosophy of customer care. Our managers are selected from
the best of our shipboard staff and are trained at our facilities in
England. Managers are granted substantial authority to make day-to-day
decisions regarding shipboard operations, including those actions necessary
to maximize shipboard revenues. Our shipboard managers are responsible for
efficient scheduling of personnel, inventory management, supervision of
sales and marketing, maintenance of required shipboard discipline and
communication with our senior management.

DEVELOP AND DELIVER HIGH QUALITY SERVICES AND PRODUCTS. Steiner
Leisure strives to create an engaging and therapeutic environment where
customers can receive body and facial treatments and hair styling
comparable in quality to the finest land-based spas and salons. Many of the
techniques and products used by our personnel have been developed by us. We
conduct our own research and respond to the needs and requests of our
customers. We continually update the range of techniques, services

27
<PAGE> 29

and products we offer to satisfy changing health, beauty and fitness
trends. Through our attentive and highly trained staff and our premium
quality hair and beauty products, Steiner Leisure provides cruise
passengers with what we believe is a richly rewarding experience that is a
memorable highlight of a cruise vacation.

EFFECTIVELY MARKET OUR SERVICES AND PRODUCTS. Steiner Leisure uses a
variety of marketing techniques to bring our services and products to the
attention of cruise passengers. Our personnel individually inform our
customers as to the services and products offered by us and also offer
group promotions, seminars and demonstrations. We provide incentives to our
employees to maximize sales of our services and products and trains
employees to cross-market services and products offered by other personnel.
Steiner Leisure also promotes pre-cruise purchases of our shipboard
services and spa packages.

MAINTAIN CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CRUISE LINES. Steiner Leisure
has developed strong relationships with the cruise lines as a result of the
revenues we generate for them and the high level of customer satisfaction
with our services. These relationships are important to our future growth
and have positioned us to obtain renewals of almost all of our cruise line
agreements that have expired since 1990. During 1997, Holland America Line,
with eight ships in service at March 1, 1999, renewed its agreement with us
for an additional six years. In January 1999, Princess Cruise Lines, with
ten ships in service at March 1, 1999, renewed its agreement with us for an
additional three years.

GROWTH STRATEGY

Steiner Leisure's strategy for continued growth includes the following
principal elements:

EXPAND WITH PRESENT CRUISE LINE CUSTOMERS. We believe that our
success in providing high quality services and products and generating
revenues for the cruise lines will enable us to grow as our cruise line
customers introduce new ships with large spas. From November 1996 to March
1, 1999, we commenced serving 16 new cruise ships brought into service by
our cruise line customers. As of March 1, 1999, the cruise lines served by
us were scheduled to introduce nine new ships into service in 1999. Steiner
Leisure expects to perform services on eight of these ships, including six
that are currently covered by cruise line agreements.

CAPITALIZE ON GROWTH IN SIZE AND QUALITY OF SHIPBOARD FACILITIES. An
increasing number of cruise ships offer large spa facilities. Many of these
facilities include hydrotherapy treatments and enlarged fitness and
treatment areas. Newer facilities are located on higher profile decks, have
enriched decor and offer all of our services and products in a single
passenger activity area. These enhanced facilities foster the cross-
selling of services and products and enable us to serve a larger number of
passengers. We often assist cruise lines with the planning and design of
spa facilities on new ships. We believe that our participation in the
design of facilities has resulted in improved quality of service and
increased revenues to us and the cruise lines. As of March 1,1999, 37 of
the ships we served had large spa facilities. In 1999, we believe we will
begin serving an additional six ships with large spa facilities.

INCREASE PRODUCT SALES. Sales of our products increased at a compound
annual growth rate of 30.5% between 1994 through 1998. Steiner Leisure's
products are sold

28
<PAGE> 30

primarily to cruise ship passengers. We also sell products at our Atlantis
spa and the Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres, and through third party,
land-based retail and wholesale channels. Our products are also offered
through mail order and our website at www.steinerleisure.com. In 1998, we
reformulated and repackaged our "Elemis" product lines to satisfy our
customers' changing tastes. We believe that there is a significant
opportunity to increase our product sales through third party, land-based
channels.

INCREASING SHIPBOARD PRODUCTIVITY. Improved staff productivity on
board ships is a significant factor contributing to our overall growth. The
gross revenue attributable to each shipboard staff member per day that a
ship is in service is expressed as a "gross per day." During 1998, ships
with large spa facilities had an average gross per day of $343 compared to
$260 for ships without large spa facilities. Steiner Leisure's average
gross per day has increased each year, from $213 in 1994 to $310 in 1998.
We believe that this increase is due to the continuous training that we
provide to our shipboard employees including instruction in maximization of
sales.

SEEK LAND-BASED OPPORTUNITIES. We believe that there are land-based
opportunities to sell our services and products. In 1999, we began
operating the luxury spa at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in The
Bahamas. We sell services and products at that facility similar to those we
sell on cruise ships. In 1998, we licensed rights to operate three Elemis
Beautiful Skin Centres in Hong Kong. These day spas sell our products. We
will consider other land-based opportunities if we believe the
circumstances to be appropriate.

CONSIDER STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. Steiner Leisure will consider
strategic acquisitions of land-based or maritime-based businesses that are
compatible with our operations. We do not have any current agreements with
respect to any potential acquisitions.

CRUISE LINE CUSTOMERS

As of March 1, 1999, Steiner Leisure provided its services and products to
26 cruise lines representing a total of 99 ships, including almost all of the
major cruise lines offering North American Cruises.

The numbers of ships served as of March 1, 1999 under cruise line
agreements with the respective cruise lines are listed below:

(7) This agreement will expire on April 30, 1999. Steiner Leisure is currently
negotiating a renewal of the agreement.

As of March 1, 1999, the cruise lines served by us were scheduled to
introduce nine new ships into service in 1999. Steiner Leisure expects to
perform services on eight of these ships, including six that are currently
covered by cruise line agreements. Six of these eight will have large spa
facilities. The cruise lines for which these ships will enter service are as
follows: Carnival (one ship); Holland America (one ship); Norwegian (one ship);
Royal Caribbean (one ship); Princess (one ship); Disney (one ship); and
Renaissance (two ships).

30
<PAGE> 32

Since November 1996 none of our cruise line agreements was terminated prior
to its expiration date. Historically, almost all of our cruise line agreements
that have expired have been renewed beyond their specified expiration dates. The
total number of ships we serve is affected by cruise lines removing from service
older ships as new ships are introduced.

SHIPBOARD SERVICES

Our goal is to provide our customers with a therapeutic and indulgent
experience in an atmosphere of individualized attention. Steiner Leisure
provides a range of personal services that we believe is comparable to those
offered by the finest land-based spas and salons. We believe that the prices we
charge are comparable to those charged for similar quality services and products
by land-based establishments.

MASSAGE AND OTHER BODY TREATMENTS. We offer massages and a variety of
other body treatments to women and men. Types of body treatments include seaweed
and other therapeutic wraps and aromatherapy treatments. The body treatment
techniques include those developed by us in response to the needs and requests
of cruise ship passengers. The number of private treatment rooms available for
these services ranges from one to twelve, depending on the size of the ship. The
number of our staff providing these services on a ship also ranges from one to
twelve. On several ships, Steiner Leisure provides certain specialty treatments
including a body capsule that provides a multi-sensory massage-like treatment in
an individual, self-contained environment. We regularly introduce new treatments
and products.

BEAUTY AND HAIR. On each ship we serve we operate a hair styling salon
that provides services to women, men and children and facilities for nail and
beauty treatments. Depending on the size of the ship, Steiner Leisure's
facilities offer from two to ten hair styling stations as well as stations for
facial treatments, manicures and pedicures. We staff each ship with one to seven
employees performing hair, nail and beauty services.

SPAS. Since the late 1980's, cruise lines increasingly have provided
enlarged spa facilities which, in general, allow all of our services to be
offered in a single passenger activity area. As of March 1, 1999, large spas
were found on 37 of the ships that we serve. We expect to serve an additional
six ships with large spa facilities that are anticipated to begin service later
in 1999. These spas provide enlarged fitness and treatment areas and on most
ships include hydrotherapy treatments. These facilities are generally located on
higher profile decks and have enriched decor. We believe that the location of
our operations in a spa environment enhances enjoyment of our services by
passengers, encourages increased passenger interest in our services and
facilitates cross-marketing of our services and products. We believe that most
of the ships currently under construction for our largest cruise line customers
will include large spas. In 1998, our average weekly revenues on ships with
large spas was 3.4 times our average weekly revenues on other ships.

FITNESS FACILITIES. As of March 1, 1999, we operated fitness facilities on
61 of the ships we serve. Fitness facilities typically include weightlifting
equipment, cardiovascular equipment (including treadmills, exercise bicycles and
rowing and stair machines) and facilities for fitness classes. Steiner Leisure
provides from one to three fitness instructors, depending on ship size. These
instructors are available to provide special services to passengers, such as
personal nutritional and dietary advice, body composition analysis and personal
training. Use of fitness facilities is generally available at no charge to
cruise passengers, except for fees that are typically charged for special
services.

31
<PAGE> 33

SAUNAS AND STEAM ROOMS. We operate saunas and steam rooms on most of the
ships we serve. These facilities generally may be used by passengers at no
charge.

FACILITIES DESIGN. In general, facilities we operate have been designed by
the cruise lines. However, several cruise lines have requested our assistance in
the design of shipboard spas and other facilities. We have assisted or are
assisting in the design of facilities for a total of 39 ships, including at
least 26 which have, or upon completion will have, large spas. Of these 39
ships, 30 are currently in service, 29 of which we serve, and the remainder are
under construction. We believe that our participation has resulted in the
construction of facilities permitting improved quality of service and increased
revenues to us and the cruise lines. We believe that our involvement in the
design of shipboard facilities has enabled us to obtain additional cruise line
agreements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain
agreements for all of the ships to which we provide design assistance.

HOURS OF OPERATION. The facilities operated by Steiner Leisure generally
are open each day during the course of a cruise from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.,
except when a ship is in the territorial waters of a jurisdiction that would tax
our sales or income.

RECRUITING AND TRAINING

Our continued success is dependent, in part, on our ability to attract
qualified employees. Steiner Leisure's goal in recruiting and training new
employees is to constantly have available a sufficient number of skilled
personnel trained in our customer service philosophy. We hire and train
personnel who perform our shipboard services and our services at our Atlantis
Spa. Steiner Leisure recruits employees primarily from the British Isles, the
rest of Europe and British Commonwealth countries. Recruitment techniques
include advertisements in trade and other publications, appearances at beauty,
hair and fitness trade shows, meetings with students at trade schools and
recommendations from our employees. All shipboard employment candidates are
required to have received prior training in the services they are to perform for
us and are tested with respect to their skills prior to being hired. Applicants
must possess a willingness to provide outstanding personal service.

Each candidate must complete a rigorous training program at our facilities
in Stanmore, England. We can train up to approximately 60 employees at a time.
The training course for service personnel is typically conducted over a period
of two to three weeks, depending on the services to be performed by the
employee. The training course emphasizes our culture of personalized, attentive
customer care. All employees also receive supplemental training in their area of
specialization, including instruction in treatments and techniques developed by
us. Each employee is educated with respect to all of our services and products
to enable them to cross-market our services and products. We also train
shipboard management candidates. This training covers, among other things,
maximization of shipboard revenues, personnel supervision, customer service and
administrative matters, including interaction with cruise line personnel.

In November 1998, we expanded our training activities by opening a beauty
training school in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This school is operated through
a joint venture with a local firm. The school teaches our beauty treatment
techniques and methods. It also provides vocational training to enable students
to qualify for beauty and hair care-related professional licenses. Our joint
venture partner in the school operates a large day spa in Dubai which uses and
sells our Elemis products. A primary reason for our involvement in this school
is to provide trained staff for this spa.

PRODUCTS

Steiner Leisure sells high quality personal care products for men and
women. The products sold on ships are duty free and tax free. We also offer our
products through our Atlantis Spa, the Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres and third
party salons, retail stores and other land-based retail and wholesale outlets.
We also sell products through mail order and our website at
www.steinerleisure.com. The beauty products offered include aromatherapy oils as
well as cleansers, creams and other skin care products and cleaning accessories.
Hair care products offered include shampoos, moisturizers and lotions. Most of
the products sold by us are from our "Elemis" and "La Therapie" product lines.
As of March 1, 1999, Steiner Leisure sold 108 "Elemis" skin and hair care
products made primarily from premium quality natural ingredients and 24 premium
quality "La Therapie" skin care products. Almost all of the raw materials for
"Elemis" and "La Therapie" products are sourced from a premier French
manufacturer under an agreement that expires in 2001. Production, packaging and
distribution of our "Elemis" and "La Therapie" products are conducted at our
facilities in Taunton, England.

We recently reformulated and repackaged our "Elemis" product lines. This is
part of our continuing efforts to increase the brand awareness of our products
and to keep abreast of product trends and our customers' tastes. We are
currently updating our product manufacturing equipment to expand our production
capacity.

We also sell the products of several entities unaffiliated with Steiner
Leisure, including 18 private label products manufactured by other companies and
sold by us under the "Steiner" brand name.

MARKETING AND PROMOTION

We promote our services and products to cruise passengers through on-board
demonstrations and seminars, video presentations shown on in-cabin television,
tours of our shipboard facilities and promotional discounts on lower volume
days, such as when a ship is in a destination port. We also distribute
illustrated brochures and order forms describing our services and products to
passenger cabins and in the facilities we operate. In addition, employees
cross-market other services and products offered by us to their customers.
Steiner Leisure promotes pre-cruise purchases of our shipboard services and spa
packages. We also benefit from advertising by the cruise lines, and,
increasingly, cruise lines are featuring their spa facilities and our services
as part of their advertising campaigns.

CRUISE LINE AGREEMENTS

Our cruise line agreements give us the right to offer our services and
products on board ships. Services and products sold to passengers are billed to
them by the cruise lines. The cruise lines retain a specified percentage of our
gross receipts from such sales before remitting the remainder to us. Most of the
agreements cover all of the then operating ships of a cruise line. Under the
cruise line agreements, we are required to pay for the meals and accommodations
of our employees. New arrangements must often be negotiated between us and a
cruise line as ships enter service. The agreements have specified terms ranging
from one to six years, with an average remaining term per ship of approximately
two years as of March 1, 1999. As of that date, cruise line agreements that
expire within one year, including the agreement with Royal Caribbean, covered 40
of the 99 ships served by us. These 40 ships accounted for approximately 36.1%
of our revenues for 1998.

33
<PAGE> 35

The cruise line agreements provide for termination by the cruise lines with
limited or no advance notice under certain circumstances, including, among other
things, the withdrawal of a vessel from the cruise trade, the sale or lease of a
vessel or our failure to receive specified passenger service rankings. As of
March 1, 1999, agreements for three ships provide for termination for any reason
by the cruise line on six months notice, for eight ships on 90 days' notice and
for one ship on 60 days' notice.

Steiner Leisure is obligated to make minimum payments to certain cruise
lines (as well as in connection with the Atlantis Spa) regardless of the amount
of revenues we receive from customers. As of December 31, 1998, these payments
are required by cruise line agreements covering a total of 67 ships served by us
and three additional ships not yet in service, as well as in connection with the
Atlantis Spa. As of December 31, 1998, Steiner Leisure had guaranteed total
minimum payments (excluding payments based on passenger loads applicable to
certain ships served by us) of approximately: $20.7 million in 1999, $16.9
million in 2000, $14.4 million in 2001 and $2.9 million in 2002.

RECENT LAND-BASED ACTIVITIES

Commencing in February 1999, we began operating the luxury health spa at
the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in The Bahamas. The Atlantis Resort has
over 2,300 guestrooms. Our spa is a 25,000 square foot facility at which we
offer services and products similar to those offered to our shipboard customers.
In connection with our operation of the spa, we pay the resort owner the greater
of a minimum monthly rental and an amount based on our revenues at the spa. Fees
for our services and products at the Atlantis Spa are charged to customers'
rooms. The resort then pays us after deducting rental payments or other amounts
due to the resort from us.

In January 1998, Steiner Leisure acquired the intellectual property rights
(the "BSC Rights") relating to the Beautiful Skin Centres, a group of Hong Kong
day spas ("BSC"). We have begun to license the BSC concept at three former BSC
facilities in Hong Kong under the name "Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres." We
granted the right to operate these initial Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres to the
entity that sold us the BSC Rights (the "Hong Kong Operator"). This entity owns
15% of our subsidiary that licenses rights to operate Elemis Beautiful Skin
Centres. The three Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres offer a variety of high quality
skin care treatments, similar to those offered to our shipboard customers. They
also sell our Elemis products. Under our agreement with the Hong Kong Operator,
we receive a percentage of the revenues generated by the centres.

We will consider licensing rights to additional Elemis Beautiful Skin
Centres outside of Hong Kong if we believe the circumstances to be appropriate.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 1, 1999, Steiner Leisure had a total of 1,033 employees. Of
that number, 884 worked on cruise ships, 29 worked at the Atlantis Spa, 31 were
involved in the training of our personnel, 30 were involved in the bottling,
distributing, warehousing and shipping of our beauty products and 59 represented
management and sales personnel and support staff. Shipboard employees typically
are employed under agreements with terms of eight months. Depending on the size
of the vessel and the nature of the facilities on board, Steiner Leisure has one
to three managers on board each ship we serve. Shipboard employees' compensation
consists of salary plus a commission based on the volume of revenues generated
by the employee. A manager's compensation is based on the performance of the
team under the manager's supervision. None of our employees is covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. Steiner Leisure believes that our relations
with our employees are satisfactory.

Personnel working at the Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres are employees of the
Hong Kong Operator.

TAXATION

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is the opinion of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, a partnership
including professional associations, with respect to material United States
federal income tax ("Tax") consequences to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of
the ownership of common shares, subject to the limitations described below. This
opinion relies on certain factual representations made by Steiner Leisure which
Kelley Drye & Warren LLP has not verified independently. This opinion is based
on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
Treasury Regulations issued or proposed thereunder, and administrative and
judicial interpretations thereof, all as currently in effect and all of which
are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect, or to
different interpretations.

The following discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis of all
potential Tax consequences to U.S. Holders, nor does it consider the effect of
any foreign, state, local or other tax laws. This discussion applies only to
U.S. Holders who hold common shares as "capital assets" within the meaning of
Code section 1221. The discussion does not address the Tax considerations
relevant to Steiner Leisure or those Tax considerations that depend upon the
facts and circumstances specific to any particular U.S. Holder. Certain types of
holders, including insurance companies, financial institutions, individual
retirement and other tax deferred accounts, tax-exempt entities and dealers in
securities, may be subject to special Tax rules not discussed below. The Tax
consequences to the aforementioned holders may differ significantly from those
summarized below.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH
RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF
COMMON SHARES, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM UNDER ANY FOREIGN, STATE,
LOCAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

For purposes of this discussion a "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of
common shares that is an individual citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation or partnership organized under the laws of the United States or of
any state or political subdivision of the United States, an estate, trust or
other person or entity whose income is includible in gross income for Tax
purposes regardless of its source, or any other holder who is subject to Tax on
a net income basis with respect to the common shares.

DIVIDENDS. Subject to the discussion below, a distribution on common
shares paid to a U.S. Holder, if any, will be taxed as ordinary dividend income
to the extent such distribution is paid from Steiner Leisure's current or
accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated under the Tax laws.
Distributions in excess of Steiner Leisure's current or accumulated earnings and
profits will be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the
U.S. Holder's Tax basis in his, her or its common shares and then as capital
gain. Dividends paid by Steiner Leisure, if any, generally will not be eligible
for the dividends received deduction generally available to certain United
States corporate shareholders under Code sections 243 and 245.

SALE OR EXCHANGE OF COMMON SHARES. Subject to the discussion below, any
gain or loss on the sale or exchange of common shares by a U.S. Holder will be
capital gain or loss. If the U.S. Holder has held the common shares for more
than one year at the time of sale or exchange, such gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss.

38
<PAGE> 40

PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANY. A foreign corporation generally is
treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") if, after applying
certain "look-through" rules, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is
passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its assets is
attributable to assets that produce or are held to produce passive income.
Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, rents,
royalties and gains from securities and commodities transactions. Under the
look-through rules, a foreign corporation that directly or indirectly owns at
least 25%, by value, of the stock of another corporation (a "subsidiary") treats
its proportionate share of the subsidiary's assets and income as held or
received directly by the foreign corporation.

Steiner Leisure expects that less than 75% of its annual gross income will
be passive income and less than 50% of the value of its assets will be passive
assets. The foregoing expectation is based on (i) application of the
look-through rules, (ii) the nature of Steiner Leisure's current income and
assets and those of its subsidiaries and (iii) the manner in which Steiner
Leisure and its subsidiaries are anticipated to conduct their businesses in the
future. If Steiner Leisure's expectations are correct, Steiner Leisure would not
be a PFIC. Steiner Leisure further believes that it has not been a PFIC prior to
this offering. However, there can be no assurance that Steiner Leisure will not
be treated as a PFIC because of the potential for unanticipated changes in the
nature of its income or assets in the future.

If Steiner Leisure were to be treated as a PFIC, certain portions of
distributions made by it to U.S. Holders and any gain realized by a U.S. Holder
on the disposition of common shares would be treated as "excess distributions."
In such event, the excess distributions must be ratably allocated to each day
the U.S. Holder held the common shares. The portion of the excess distribution
allocated to the year in which the excess distribution occurs and to periods
prior to the first taxable year in which Steiner Leisure became a PFIC would be
taxed as ordinary income. The portion of the excess distribution allocated to
prior taxable years in which Steiner Leisure was a PFIC would be taxed at the
highest rate in effect for each year to which such portion is allocated. The
amount of tax so calculated would be subject to an interest charge as if it were
an underpayment of tax for the year to which that portion of the excess
distribution was allocated.

A U.S. Holder could avoid the above tax treatment by electing to include
annually in gross income his, her or its proportionate share of Steiner
Leisure's ordinary earnings and net capital gain for the year, whether or not
such amounts are actually distributed. By making this "Qualified Electing Fund"
election ("QEF Election"), a U.S. Holder could further elect to defer paying the
liability resulting from the QEF Election until Steiner Leisure actually
distributes the amounts already included in income, but would be required to pay
interest on the deferred tax liability until it is actually paid.

As an alternative to the QEF election, a U.S. Holder could avoid the excess
distribution and interest on deferred taxes rules by electing to mark the common
shares to market. If this election were made, the U.S. Holder would take into
account annually, as ordinary income or loss, the amount of any difference
between the value of the common shares at the end of the taxable year and such
Holder's adjusted basis for such shares. Losses would be allowed only to the
extent of net mark-to-market gain included in income for prior years. Such an
election would terminate if the common shares ceased to be regularly traded.

CONTROLLED FOREIGN CORPORATION. A foreign corporation generally is treated
as a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") if more than 50% of its outstanding
shares (by

39
<PAGE> 41

vote or value) are owned, directly, indirectly or constructively by United
States shareholders who each own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 10% or
more of the corporation's voting power ("10% Shareholders") on any day during
the corporation's taxable year.

Steiner Leisure believes that less than 50% of its outstanding shares are
owned by 10% Shareholders. Steiner Leisure considers it unlikely that more than
50% of its outstanding shares are, and will be immediately after this offering,
owned by 10% Shareholders. In that case Steiner Leisure would not be a CFC after
this offering. However, no assurance can be given that Steiner Leisure will not
be a CFC immediately after this offering or that Steiner Leisure will not become
a CFC as a result of future changes in its ownership. If Steiner Leisure were to
be treated as a CFC for an uninterrupted period of 30 days or more during a
taxable year, each 10% Shareholder, as of the last day of such taxable year on
which Steiner Leisure was a CFC, would be required to include in taxable income
as a constructive dividend his, her or its pro-rata share of certain types of
Steiner Leisure's undistributed income. In addition, if certain other conditions
were met, we would not be a PFIC. U.S. Holders who are not 10% Shareholders
would not suffer any adverse tax consequences if Steiner Leisure were a CFC.

FOREIGN PERSONAL HOLDING COMPANY. A foreign corporation generally is
treated as a foreign personal holding company ("FPHC") if (i) at any time during
the taxable year, five or fewer individual citizens or residents of the United
States directly or indirectly, own more than 50% of its outstanding stock (by
vote or value) and (ii) at least 50% of its gross income is "foreign personal
holding company income." Foreign personal holding company income generally
includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties and gain from the sale of stock
or securities.

Based on the current ownership of the common shares, the distribution of
common shares in this offering and Mr. Warshaw's continued ownership of common
shares after this offering, Steiner Leisure considers it unlikely that
immediately after this offering, five or fewer United States citizens or
residents who are individuals will own more than 50% of Steiner Leisure's
outstanding shares. In that case, Steiner Leisure would not be a FPHC
immediately after this offering. However, no assurance can be given that Steiner
Leisure will not be a FPHC immediately after this offering or that Steiner
Leisure will not become a FPHC as a result of future changes in its ownership.
If Steiner Leisure were to be treated as a FPHC, each U.S. Holder, regardless of
the percentage of outstanding common shares owned, would be required to include
in income as a constructive dividend his, her or its pro rata share of Steiner
Leisure's undistributed foreign personal holding company income.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING. A U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding at
a 31% rate on the gross proceeds of the disposition of common shares through the
United States office of a broker, unless such U.S. Holder (i) furnishes a
correct social security number or other taxpayer identification number ("TIN")
certified as correct under penalties of perjury to the person subject to the
requirement to backup withhold and complies with other applicable requirements
or (ii) establishes that he, she or it comes within a category of recipients
exempt from backup withholding, which includes corporations. In addition,
effective for dividends paid on or after January 1, 2000, backup withholding
will apply to certain dividends paid to U.S. Holders by certain foreign
corporations. Presently, however, dividends paid by foreign corporations prior
to that date are not subject to backup withholding. A U.S. Holder that does not
properly provide its TIN may be subject to

40
<PAGE> 42

penalties. If backup withholding applies, the amount withheld is not an
additional tax, but is credited against the U.S. Holder's Tax liability.

FORM 5471. Any U.S. Holder who owns 10% or more of the total value or
total voting power of Steiner Leisure's shares may be required to file IRS Form
5471 to report certain acquisitions or dispositions of shares of Steiner
Leisure. Annual filing of IRS Form 5471 would be required of any U.S. Holder (i)
owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more in value of the shares of Steiner
Leisure, if Steiner Leisure were treated as a FPHC; (ii) treated as a 10%
Shareholder of Steiner Leisure, if Steiner Leisure were characterized as a CFC
for an uninterrupted period of 30 days or more during the taxable year, or (iii)
owning more than 50% of the voting power or value of the outstanding shares of
Steiner Leisure for an uninterrupted period of 30 days or more during the
taxable year.

CERTAIN BAHAMIAN AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following paragraph is the opinion of Harry B. Sands & Company, Bahamas
counsel to Steiner Leisure, This opinion addresses the material Bahamian tax
matters as they may relate to us and the holders of the common shares of Steiner
Leisure, subject to the limitations described below. The discussion is not
exhaustive and is based on Bahamian law currently in effect.

The Bahamas does not impose any income, capital gains or withholding taxes.
Neither Steiner Leisure nor its Bahamian subsidiaries will be subject to income
tax in The Bahamas on an ongoing basis. The dividends paid on the common shares,
if any, to holders thereof will not be subject to a Bahamian withholding tax.
There presently is no tax treaty between The Bahamas and the United States.

Our United Kingdom and United States subsidiaries are subject to taxation
in their respective jurisdictions, including withholding tax with respect to any
dividends paid to Steiner Leisure.

Mr. Warshaw has served as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Steiner Leisure since November 1995.

date of this prospectus, he will not, directly or indirectly, offer to sell,
sell, contract to sell or otherwise sell or dispose of any of his common shares
or options or warrants to acquire common shares without the prior written
consent of ING Baring Furman Selz LLC. Steiner Leisure also has agreed not to
sell any common shares for a period of 90 days from the date of this prospectus
without the prior written consent of ING Baring Furman Selz LLC, except that we
may, without such consent, grant options or shares pursuant to our option plans.

ING Baring Furman Selz LLC advises the Company regarding potential
acquisitions. Steiner Leisure has verbally agreed to pay ING Baring Furman Selz
LLC customary compensation if an acquisition is consummated and to reimburse ING
Baring Furman Selz LLC for their out-of-pocket expenses.

Other than in the United States, neither we nor the underwriters have taken
any action that would permit a public offering of the common shares in any
jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The common shares may
not be offered or sold in any other jurisdiction unless we and the underwriters
comply with the applicable rules and regulations in that jurisdiction. Persons
considering a purchase of common shares pursuant to this prospectus should
inform themselves about and comply with any restrictions relating to the
offering of the common shares and the distribution of this prospectus. This
prospectus is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
common shares offered hereby in any jurisdiction in which an offer or
solicitation is unlawful.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters and selling group
members (if any) who are qualified market makers on Nasdaq may engage in passive
market making transactions in the common shares on Nasdaq in accordance with
Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prior to the
commencement of the offering. Passive market makers must comply with applicable
volume and price limitations and must identify themselves as passive market
makers when making bids. In general, a passive market maker's bid may not exceed
the highest independent bid for the common shares. If all independent bids are
reduced below the passive market maker's bid, the passive market maker must
reduce its bid when it exceeds certain purchase limits.

The representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, may engage in
over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size,
which creates a syndicate short position.

44
<PAGE> 46

Stabilizing transactions are bids or purchases made for the purpose of
preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common shares while
the offering is in progress. Stabilizing bids may not exceed a specified
maximum. Syndicate covering transactions are purchases of common shares in the
open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover
syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a
discount from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by that
member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate
short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids may cause the price of the common shares to be higher than it
otherwise would be in the absence of these transactions. These transactions may
be effected on the Nasdaq Stock Market or otherwise and may be discontinued at
any time.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the common shares offered hereby will be passed upon for
the selling shareholder by Harry B. Sands & Company, Nassau, The Bahamas,
Bahamas Counsel to Steiner Leisure. Certain legal matters in connection with
this offering will be passed upon for us by Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, a limited
liability partnership including professional associations, New York, New York
and Washington, D.C. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the
underwriters by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P, New York, New York.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Steiner Leisure Limited and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Steiner
Leisure Limited (a Bahamian international business company) and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Steiner Leisure Limited and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) ORGANIZATION:

Steiner Leisure Limited (including its subsidiaries where the context
requires, the "Company") provides spa services and skin and hair care products
to passengers on board cruise ships worldwide. The Company, incorporated in the
Bahamas, commenced operations effective November 1995 with the contributions of
substantially all of the assets and certain of the liabilities of the Maritime
Division (the "Maritime Division") of Steiner Group Limited, now known as STGR
Limited ("Steiner Group"), a U.K. company and an affiliate of the Company, and
all of the outstanding common stock of Coiffeur Transocean (Overseas), Inc.
("CTO"), a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Steiner Group.
The contributions of the net assets of the Maritime Division and CTO were
recorded at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.

In January 1998, the Company acquired for $675,000 the intellectual
property (the "BSC Rights") relating to the Beautiful Skin Centres, a group of
Hong Kong day spas ("BSC"). The Company has begun to license the BSC concept at
three former BSC facilities in Hong Kong under the name "Elemis Beautiful Skin
Centres." The Company granted the right to operate these initial Elemis
Beautiful Skin Centres to the entity that sold the Company the BSC Rights. That
entity owns 15% of EBSC International Limited, a Bahamas subsidiary of the
Company that licenses rights to operate Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION --

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interest represents
the minority shareholder's proportional share of the net assets of EBSC.

(B) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS --

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
At December 31, 1997 and 1998, cash and cash equivalents include
interest-bearing deposits of $11,530,000 and $5,113,000, respectively.

Marketable securities consist of investment grade commercial paper. The
Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and, accordingly, all such
instruments are classified as "available for sale" securities which are reported
at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component
of shareholders' equity.

(D) INVENTORIES --

Inventories, consisting principally of beauty products, are stated at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventories consist of the
following:

---------- ----------
$4,949,000 $8,002,000
========== ==========
</TABLE>

(E) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT --

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over
the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the terms of the respective leases and the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets.

(F) REVENUE RECOGNITION --

The Company recognizes revenues earned as services are provided and as
products are sold. License revenues consist of license fees, which are typically
collected upon execution of an area development and/or franchise agreement, and
license royalties, based upon gross sales. License fees are initially recorded
as deferred franchise fee income and are recognized in earnings when licensed
locations are opened. License revenues were $106,000 in 1998 and are included in
Services Revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(G) AMORTIZATION --

The acquired intangible assets of CTO were amortized on a straight-line
basis over a three-year period that ended on June 1, 1997. This period
represented the approximate remaining life of CTO's cruise line agreements.

Other assets include the cost of trademark registrations and product
formulations in connection with the Company's investment in Elemis Limited, and
the intellectual property represented by rights acquired by the Company in
connection with its investment in the BSC Rights. Costs relating to such
trademark registrations, product formulations and rights are amortized on the
straight-line method over the estimated lives of those respective costs (ranging
from 15 to 30 years). Amortization of the license rights acquired in connection
with the EBSC investment commenced in April 1998, the month of the effective
date of the first area development agreement entered into by EBSC.

(H) INCOME TAXES --

The Company files separate tax returns for its U.S. subsidiaries. In
addition, the Company's foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in their
respective countries of

incorporation, where required. The Company follows Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109").
SFAS No. 109 utilizes the liability method and deferred taxes are determined
based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of
enacted tax laws. SFAS No. 109 permits the recognition of deferred tax assets.
Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on the changes to the
asset or liability from period to period.

In November 1996, the Company liquidated CTO. As a result, CTO's functions
were assumed by the Company and its cruise line agreements were assigned to the
Company. The liquidation of CTO was a taxable transaction. CTO was treated as if
it had sold all of its assets at fair value on the date of distribution of these
assets to the Company. Based on the value of the assets of CTO as determined by
an independent appraiser, CTO's U.S. income tax liability resulting from the
liquidation was approximately $3.2 million. This amount has been reflected as a
nonrecurring component of the provision for income taxes in the Company's 1996
consolidated statement of operations. The entire $3.2 million estimated tax
liability was paid during the first quarter of 1997.

(I) TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES --

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate
of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date; income and expenses are
translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The
related translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated other
comprehensive income section of the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign
currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, including intercompany
transactions, are included in results of operations.

(J) EARNINGS PER SHARE --

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available
to shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The
calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share
except that the denominator includes dilutive common share equivalents such as
share options. The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent
shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as
follows for the years ended December 31:

the calculation of diluted earnings per

antidilutive............................... -- 369,000 189,000
========== ========== ==========
</TABLE>

(K) USE OF ESTIMATES --

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(L) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS --

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 107"), requires disclosure of the
fair value of certain financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, other
current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and accounts payable are
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at cost, which
approximates fair value.

(M) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION --

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") in
accounting for stock-based transactions with nonemployees and, accordingly,
records compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations for
such transactions. The Company continues to apply the provisions of APB 25 for
transactions with employees, as permitted by SFAS 123.

(N) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS --

In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("ACSEC") issued Statement of Position
("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 establishes criteria for determining which
costs of developing or obtaining internal-use computer software should be
charged to expense and which should be capitalized. The Company will adopted SOP
98-1 prospectively effective January 1, 1999. Management does not believe that
the adoption of SOP 98-1 will have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

In November 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
11,468,790 of its common shares of which 1,863,000 shares were sold by the
Company and 9,605,790 shares were sold by a shareholder of the Company. The
offering price was $5.778 per share and the proceeds to the Company, net of the
underwriters' discount and other direct costs, were approximately $9,704,000.

Effective October 24, 1997 and April 28, 1998, the Board of Directors of
the Company approved three-for-two share splits of the Company's common shares,
effected as a share dividends, effective for shareholders of record as of

(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

(A) CRUISE LINE AGREEMENTS --

The Company has entered into agreements of varying terms with the cruise
lines. These agreements provide for the Company to pay the cruise lines rent for
use of their shipboard facilities as well as for staff shipboard meals and
accommodations. Rental amounts are based on a percentage of revenue, a minimum
annual rental or a combination of both. Some of the minimum annual rentals are
calculated as a flat dollar amount on an annual basis while others are based
upon minimum passenger per diems for passengers actually embarked on each cruise
of the respective vessel. Staff shipboard meals and accommodations are charged
by the cruise lines on a per staff per day basis. The Company recognizes all
expenses related to cruise line rents, minimum guarantees and staff shipboard
meals and accommodations, generally at the completion of a cruise, as they are
incurred. For cruises in process at period end, accrual is made to record such
expenses in a manner that approximates a pro-rata basis. In addition,
staff-related expenses such as shipboard employee commissions are recognized in
the same manner. Pursuant to agreements that provide for minimum annual rentals,
the Company has guaranteed the following amounts as of December 31, 1998:

(E) CONSTRUCTION COMMITMENT --

The Company has committed to spend approximately $1.5 million in 1999 in
connection with the construction of the spa at the Atlantis Resort.

(F) PRODUCT LIABILITY --

The nature and use of the Company's products and services could give rise
to product liability or other claims if a customer were injured while receiving
one of the Company's services or suffered adverse reactions following the use of
its products. Adverse reactions could be caused by various factors beyond the
Company's control, including hypoallergenic sensitivity and the possibility of
malicious tampering with its products. If any of these events occurred, the
Company could incur substantial litigation expense, receive adverse publicity
and suffer a loss of sales.

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Effective December 1995, the Company's principal shareholder contributed
certain rights with respect to formulations for lines of products sold by the
Company. The rights were purchased from an unrelated third party by that
shareholder. The formulations were used exclusively in the manufacture of the
Company's products. The contribution of these product formulation rights was
recorded at their historical cost of $219,000, the negotiated purchase price of
said product formulation rights between the unrelated parties. These other
assets are being amortized over a period of 15 years, the estimated life of the
underlying assets, representing the estimated period over which the related
products will be sold by the Company.

Notes Payable to Related Parties were non-interest bearing and were repaid
during 1997.

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for options granted to employees. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized related to such grants. Had compensation cost for the
Company's shares been based on fair value at the grant dates for awards under
the Plans consistent with the methodologies of SFAS 123, the Company's 1997 net
income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

Diluted earnings per share................ As reported $ .73 $ 1.04
Pro forma $ .69 $ .83
</TABLE>

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of
37.8% and 61.0% for 1997 and 1998, respectively, risk-free interest rate of
6.0%, expected dividends of $0 and expected term of 5 years.

In 1996, the Company recorded expense of $113,000 related to 37,500 share
options granted to a nonemployee of the Company. In determining the expense to
be recorded, the Company applied the Black-Scholes model using the following
assumptions: expected volatility of 25%, risk-free interest rate of 6%, expected
dividends of $0 and expected term of 5 years.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Articles of Association of Steiner Leisure (the "Articles") provide
that the directors and officers of Steiner Leisure, as well as certain other
individuals, shall be indemnified by Steiner Leisure to the fullest extent
authorized by Bahamian law as it now exists or may in the future be amended,
against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with
service for or on behalf of Steiner Leisure or any subsidiary of Steiner
Leisure.

Section 56 of the International Business Companies Act, 1989 of The Bahamas
provides:

56.(1) Subject to subsection (2) and any limitations in its Memorandum or
Articles or in any unanimous shareholder agreement, a company incorporated under
this Act may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against
all judgements, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in
connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person
who -

(a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is
or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the company; or

(b) is or was, at the request of the company, serving as a director,
officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for,
another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(2) Subsection (1) only applies to a person referred to in that subsection
if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests
of the company

II-1
<PAGE> 68

and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(3) The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly
and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company and as to
whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of this
section, unless a question of law is involved.

(4) The termination of any proceedings by any judgement, order, settlement,
conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a
view to the best interests of the company or that the person had reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(5) If a person referred to in subsection (1) has been successful in
defence of any proceedings referred to in subsection (1), the person is entitled
to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all
judgements, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the proceedings.

The Articles also provide that expenses of directors and/or officers of
Steiner Leisure incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings be paid by
Steiner Leisure in advance of final disposition of such proceedings upon such
director or officer undertaking to reimburse any such expense which it is
ultimately determined he or she is not entitled to be indemnified against by
Steiner Leisure.

The Articles also provide that the right of directors and officers to
indemnification is not exclusive of any other right to which such directors or
officers may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of shareholders or
directors or otherwise. The Articles contain a provision that eliminates the
liability of directors and officers of Steiner Leisure and certain other persons
in connection with the performance of their respective functions, provided that
any such person has acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best
interests of Steiner Leisure and has exercised the care, diligence and skill
that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.
Steiner Leisure also maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director or officer of Steiner Leisure or is or was serving at the request of
Steiner Leisure as a director or officer of another entity against any liability
asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or
arising out of his or her status as such.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
