                    STEINER LEISURE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
     STATEMENTS:

The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000 reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to fairly present the results of operations for the interim periods.
The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full year.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements,
but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999.

(2)  ORGANIZATION:

Steiner Leisure Limited (including its subsidiaries, where the context requires;
"Steiner Leisure," "we," "us," "our," and the "Company" refer to Steiner Leisure
Limited) provides spa services and skin and hair care products to passengers on
board cruise ships worldwide.

Commencing in February 1999, the Company began operating the luxury health spa
at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in The Bahamas (the "Atlantis Spa").
In connection with the operation of the Atlantis Spa, the Company pays the
resort's owner the greater of a minimum monthly rental and an amount based on
its revenues at the Atlantis Spa.

As the result of an acquisition in August 1999, the Company operates, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, four post-secondary schools in Florida offering degree
and non-degree programs in massage therapy and skin care and related areas (the
"Florida Schools"). As the result of an acquisition in April 2000, the Company
operates, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, a total of five post-secondary
massage therapy schools in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia (the "Additional
Schools").

On October 19, 2000, Steiner Leisure entered into an agreement to build and
operate a luxury spa facility at the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The term of the lease of the facilities will be for 15 years with a five
year renewal option if certain sales levels are achieved.

(3)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     (a)  MARKETABLE SECURITIES-

Marketable securities consist of investment grade commercial paper. The Company
accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 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.

     (b)  GOODWILL-

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of
identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis
over its estimated useful life of 20 years. The Company continually evaluates
intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever
circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When
factors indicate that the assets acquired in a business purchase combination and
the related goodwill may be impaired, we recognize an impairment loss if the
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or
acquired business) are less than the carrying value of the related asset.

     (c)  INCOME TAXES-

Steiner Leisure files separate tax returns for its domestic subsidiaries. In
addition, our foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in their respective
countries of incorporation, where required. Steiner Leisure follows Statement of





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7


Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
109"). SFAS 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 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.

     (d)  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 the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     (e)  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:

     (f)  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS-

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB
101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to
revenue recognition issues in financial statements. We will adopt SAB 101 as
required in the fourth quarter of 2000. Management does not expect the adoption
of SAB 101 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of
operations and financial position.

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 137 defers for one year the
effective date of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, will now apply to
all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and
requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair
value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through
income. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 as required in fiscal year 2001. The
Company believes the adoption of this Statement will not have a material effect
on the earnings and financial position of the Company.

(4)  ACQUISITIONS:

In August 1999, the Company acquired the assets that now constitute the Florida
Schools in consideration of approximately $7.9 million (including purchase price
adjustments) in cash and $1,000,000 of the Company's common shares. The
transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase price exceeded the fair market value of net assets acquired resulting
in goodwill of approximately $8.7 million.




                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8


In April 2000, the Company acquired the assets that now constitute the
Additional Schools in consideration of approximately $4.1 million (including
purchase price adjustments) in cash. The transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The purchase price exceeded the fair market value
of net assets acquired resulting in goodwill of approximately $5.3 million.

Unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assuming the Florida
Schools and the Additional Schools acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of
the periods presented are as follows:

           Diluted earnings per share                  0.91               1.11


The above pro forma consolidated statement of operations are based upon certain
assumptions and estimates which the Company believes are reasonable. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations may not be indicative of
the operating results that would have been reported had the acquisitions been
consummated on January 1, 1999, nor are they necessarily indicative of results
which will be reported in the future.

(6)  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

Steiner Leisure adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
effective January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
The components of Steiner Leisure's comprehensive income are as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

GENERAL

         Steiner Leisure Limited (including its subsidiaries and predecessors,
"Steiner Leisure," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Steiner Leisure) is the leading
worldwide provider of spa services and skin and hair care products on board
cruise ships. 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. In general, Steiner Leisure has experienced increases in
rent payments as a percentage of revenue upon entering into new agreements with
cruise lines. Steiner Leisure also sells its services and products through
land-based channels, including a luxury spa at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise
Island in The Bahamas ("Atlantis Spa") and has entered into an agreement to
build and operate a luxury spa facility at the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las
Vegas, Nevada. Steiner Leisure also operates nine post secondary schools in the
United States offering degree and non-degree programs in massage therapy and
related courses.

         Steiner Leisure, Steiner Transocean Limited, our subsidiary that
conducts our shipboard operations, and Cosmetics Limited, our subsidiary that
owns the rights to, and distributes our Elemis and La Therapie products, are
Bahamian international business companies ("IBCs"). 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. Approximately 86% of our income for the first nine months of
2000 was not subject to United States or United Kingdom income tax. The income
from our United States subsidiaries, including those that perform administrative
services for us, operate our massage therapy schools and sell our products in
the United States, are 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 9% of our pre-tax income for
the first nine months of 2000, will be subject to U.K. tax rates (generally up
to 31%). Our Bahamas subsidiary that conducts our Atlantis Spa operations is not
an IBC and is subject to tax on its revenues of approximately one percent. To
the extent that our income from non-maritime operations in jurisdictions that
impose income taxes increases more rapidly than any increase in our
maritime-related income, the percentage of our income subject to tax would
increase.

         On October 31, 2000, Steiner Leisure was advised by Norwegian Cruise
Line that our agreement to serve Norwegian's vessels would not be renewed after
its expiration on December 31, 2000.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999

         REVENUES. Revenues increased approximately 24.0%, or $8.1 million, to
$42.5 million in the third quarter of 2000 from $34.4 million in the third
quarter of 1999. Of this increase, $6.8 million was attributable to an increase
in services revenues and $1.3 million was attributable to an increase in
products revenues. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an
average of seven additional spa ships in service in the third quarter of 2000
compared to the third quarter of 1999, the commencement of operations at our
Florida Schools on August 25, 1999, and the commencement of operations at our
Additional Schools in April 2000. We had an average of 1,097 shipboard staff
members in service in the third quarter of 2000 compared to an average of 988
shipboard staff members in service in the third quarter of 1999. Revenues per
shipboard staff per day increased by 4.3% to $365 in the entire third quarter of
2000 from $350 in the third quarter of 1999.

         COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services as a percentage of services revenue
decreased to 75.7% in the third quarter of 2000 from 77.0% in the third quarter
of 1999. This decrease was due to increases in productivity of shipboard staff
during the third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of 1999, a
decrease in the rent allocable to services revenues on cruise ships covered by
agreements which were renewed after the third quarter of 1999 and became
effective during the third quarter of 2000, and the effect of the lower cost of
services as a percentage of services revenues at our Florida Schools (which were
owned by us for a portion of the third quarter of 1999) and Additional Schools
(which were not owned by us during the third quarter of 1999).

         COST OF PRODUCTS. Cost of products as a percentage of products revenue
increased to 74.1% in the third quarter of 2000 from 69.5% in the third quarter
of 1999. This increase was due to increases in rent allocable to products sales
on cruise ships covered by agreements which were renewed after the third quarter
of 1999 and became effective during the third quarter of 2000.

         OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
increased to 10.3% in the third quarter of 2000 from 9.0% in the third quarter
of 1999 as a result of the operating expenses and goodwill amortization at our
Florida Schools (which were owned by us for a portion of the third quarter of
1999) and Additional Schools (which were not owned by us during the entire third
quarter of 1999).

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes decreased to
an overall effective rate of 5.2% for the third quarter of 2000 from an overall
effective rate of 6.1% for the third quarter of 1999 primarily due to the income
earned in jurisdictions that do not tax our income being greater than our income
earned in jurisdictions that tax our income.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1999

         REVENUES. Revenues increased approximately 28.0%, or $26.3 million, to
$120.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $93.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Of this increase, $20.9 million
was attributable to increases in services provided on cruise ships and $5.4
million was attributable to increases in sales of products. The increase in
revenues for the first nine months of 2000 compared to the same period in the
prior year was primarily attributable to an average of seven additional spa
ships in service, the increase in revenues at the Atlantis Spa, the commencement
of operations at our Florida Schools on August 25, 1999, and the commencement of
operations at our Additional Schools in April 2000. The Company had 1,063
shipboard staff members in service on average during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to 920 shipboard staff members in service on average
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Revenues per staff per day
increased by 3.2% in the first nine months of 2000 compared to the comparable
period of 1999.

         COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services as a percentage of services revenue
decreased to 75.7% in the first nine months of 2000 from 77.1% for the first
nine months of 1999. This decrease was due to an increase in productivity of
onboard staff during the first nine months of 2000 compared to the same period
in prior year, a decrease in the rent allocable to services revenues on cruise
ships covered by agreements which were renewed after the first quarter of 1999
and became effective during the first quarter of 2000, and the effect of the
lower cost of services as a percentage of services revenues at our Florida
Schools (which were owned by us during a portion of 1999) and Additional Schools
(which were not owned by us during all of 1999).

         COST OF PRODUCTS. Cost of products as a percentage of products revenue
increased to 74.0% in the first nine months of 2000 from 69.4% for the first
nine months of 1999. This increase was primarily due to increases in rent
allocable to products sales on cruise ships covered by agreements which were
renewed after the first quarter of 1999 and became effective during the first
quarter of 2000.

         OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
increased to 10.5% for the first nine months of 2000 from 9.4% for the first
nine months of 1999 as a result of the operating expenses and goodwill
amortization at our Florida Schools (which were owned by us during a portion of
1999) and Additional Schools (which were not owned by us during the first nine
months of 1999).

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes decreased to
an overall effective rate of 5.3% for the first nine months of 2000 from an
overall effective rate of 6.2% for the first nine months of 1999 primarily due
to the income earned in jurisdictions that do not tax our income being greater
than our income earned in jurisdictions that tax our income.

SEASONALITY

         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 significan impact on our revenues. However, due to our dependence on the
cruise industry, revenues may in the future be affected by seasonality.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash flow from operating activities during the first nine months of
2000 was $19.0 million compared to $15.8 million in the first nine months of
1999. This increase is primarily due to the increase in our net income.

         Steiner Leisure had working capital of approximately $40.2 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $35.1 million at December 31, 1999.

         On October 19, 2000, Steiner Leisure entered into an agreement to build
and operate a luxury spa facility at the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The term of the lease of the facilities will be for 15 years with a five




                                      -11-

year renewal option if certain sales levels are achieved. We estimate that the
build-out will cost approximately $13.5 million and the spa will open in
September 2001. The build-out will be funded from our working capital.

         In April 2000, Steiner Leisure acquired the assets of a total of five
post-secondary massage therapy schools located in Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Virginia. The purchase price of approximately $4.1 million in cash was funded
from our working capital.

         Through November 5, 2000, we purchased a total of 365,000 of our
common shares in 2000 in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $6.0 million. The cash used to make such purchases was funded from
our working capital. 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 an 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.
