                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Styling Technology Corporation:

We have  audited the  accompanying  statement  of net assets of certain  product
lines of Inverness  Corporation  and Inverness (UK) Limited  (collectively,  the
Company)  as of  November  30,  1997,  and the related  statement  of  operating
revenues and  expenses for the period from January 1, 1997 through  November 30,
1997, (see Note 1 for basis of presentation). 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The  accompanying  statement  of net  assets of  certain  product  lines and the
related statement of operating revenues and expenses have been prepared pursuant
to the asset purchase agreement dated October 31, 1997 and effective December 1,
1997,  between  Styling  Technology  Corporation and the Company (Note 1). These
financial  statements  are not  intended  to be a complete  presentation  of the
Company's  financial  position or results of  operations.  The  statement of net
assets of certain product lines and the related statement of operating  revenues
and expenses are  presented  for the  purposes of complying  with the  financial
statement  requirements of the Securities Exchange Commission for acquired or to
be acquired businesses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the statement of net assets of certain product lines of
the Company as of November  30,  1997,  and the related  statement  of operating
revenues and  expenses for the period from January 1, 1997 through  November 30,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                           INVERNESS CORPORATION AND
                             INVERNESS (UK) LIMITED


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               NOVEMBER 30, 1997

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     ACQUISITION AGREEMENT AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  financial  statements  represent  the net  assets of  certain
product lines of Inverness Corporation and Inverness (UK) Limited to be acquired
(collectively,  the Company).  These statements are presented to comply with the
financial  statement  requirements  of the  Securities  Exchange  Commission for
acquired or to be acquired businesses.

In accordance  with the terms of an asset  purchase  agreement  (the  Agreement)
dated  October  31, 1997 and  effective  December  1, 1997,  Styling  Technology
Corporation  agreed to acquire  assets of  certain  product  lines of  Inverness
Corporation and Inverness (UK) Limited.  The assets  primarily  consist of trade
receivables, inventories, and equipment. The terms also include a purchase price
of $20 million in cash and the assumption of certain  liabilities  which include
accounts payable,  accrued  liabilities and operating  leases.  The accompanying
financial  statements represent the accounts of the purchased assets and assumed
liabilities pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

The Company is a manufacturer  and distributor of various personal care products
in the following product lines:

         CLEAN AND EASY PROFESSIONAL SALON PRODUCTS - Roll-on waxing products
         sold to professional salons.

         ONE TOUCH ELECTROLYSIS, DEPILATORIES AND HOME WAXING - Battery-operated
         electrolysis  machines,  a variety of  roll-on creams and depilatories,
         cream hair  lighteners,  strip  wax and heated waxing  appliances to be
         used by consumers at home.  These  products are  sold to beauty  supply
         stores, drug stores,  discount stores,  catalog  mailers and showrooms,
         mass volume retailers and department stores.

     ALLOCATED EXPENSES

The product  lines of the Company have  historically  been  accounted for in the
consolidated  financial  statements of Inverness  Corporation and Inverness (UK)
Limited (hereinafter  referred to as Inverness).  Inverness' management prepared
these  financial  statements  by  allocating  certain  of  the  total  costs  of
Inverness,   to  product  lines  acquired,   based  on  the  most   conservative
methodologies.

Certain  overhead  items are allocated to cost of sales for these product lines.
Indirect  labor and fringe  benefit  expenses  are  allocated  based on standard
direct labor hours.  Rent,  real estate taxes,  insurance and other common costs
are allocated based on estimated warehouse space occupied.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Certain  selling,  general  and  administrative  (S,G&A)  expenses  and interest
expense are  allocated  to each  product  line based on the  percent of budgeted
S,G&A expense for that product line to Inverness' total S,G&A expense.  Budgeted
S,G&A expenses for each  product line are allocated based on Inverness' budgeted
net sales to each product line, adjusted for certain specific allocations. S,G&A
expenses  consist  primarily of sales salaries and  commissions,  travel and
entertainment, advertising, and shipping expenses.

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable
value.  Reserves are established  against inventory for excess,  slow-moving and
obsolete items.

Inventory, net, consists of the following at November 30, 1997:

         Raw materials and work-in-process         $1,430,441
         Finished goods                             1,948,390
                                                   ----------
                                                   $3,378,831
                                                   ==========
     OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS

Other  noncurrent  assets  consist of  trademarks  and patents of  $436,451  and
$351,427, respectively, net of accumulated amortization.  Trademarks and patents
are  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over a 5-year  and  17-year  period,
respectively. Amortization expense allocated to the product lines for the period
January 1, 1997  through  November  30,  1997,  for  trademarks  and patents was
approximately $114,000 and $23,000, respectively.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue from sales upon shipment of the product.

     OTHER INCOME

The  Company  recorded a gain from the  settlement  of an  infringement  lawsuit
related to a patent for the One Touch Electrolysis and Home Waxing product line.

     INCOME TAXES

Inverness  does not  allocate  income tax  expense to the  product  lines of the
Company.  Accordingly,  the  accompanying  statement of  operating  revenues and
expenses  for the period  January 1, 1997  through  November  30,  1997 does not
include a provision for income taxes.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include the product lines
acquired  related to Inverness  Corporation  and  Inverness  (UK)  Limited.  All
material   intercompany   items  and   transactions   have  been  eliminated  in
consolidation.  Financial  information  relating  to the  product  lines  within
Inverness  (UK) Limited is reported in  accordance  with  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.

                                       7

     USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  information 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.
Estimates also effect the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during the
reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is
made in accordance with the  requirements  of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 107, DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.
The  Company's  Financial  Instruments,  as  defined  by SFAS No.  107,  include
accounts  receivable,  accounts payable and accrued  liabilities.  The estimated
fair value  amounts  have been  determined  by the Company at November 30, 1997,
using available market information.

The  carrying  value  of  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable  and  accrued
liabilities  approximates  fair value due to the short-term  maturities of these
instruments.

(3)  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

Property and equipment consist of the following at November 30, 1997:

         Furniture and fixtures                  $   169,887
         Machinery and equipment                   3,036,530
                                                 -----------
                                                   3,206,417
         Less-accumulated depreciation            (2,237,399)
                                                 -----------
                                                 $   969,018
                                                 ===========

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and  depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

                                                     Years
                                                     -----
         Furniture and fixtures                       4-7
         Machinery and equipment                     3-20

Accumulated  depreciation has been recorded utilizing an allocation  methodology
based on the relative  cost of these  product  lines'  property and equipment in
relation to Inverness' balance of property and equipment.  Depreciation  expense
allocated to the product lines for the period  January 1, 1997 through  November
30, 1997, was approximately $283,000.

Expenditures  for  major  renewals  and  betterments  are   capitalized,   while
expenditures  for maintenance and repairs,  which are not significant and do not
improve assets or extend their useful lives, are charged to expense as incurred.
Repairs and maintenance  expense for the period January 1, 1997 through November
30, 1997, was approximately $59,000.

                                       8

(4)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Inverness  leases its primary  facility  from its majority  shareholder  under a
noncancelable  operating lease expiring in July 1998. Rent expense  allocated to
the product lines for the period January 1, 1997 through  November 30, 1997, was
approximately $248,000.

In addition,  the product lines acquired are part of Inverness  Corporation  and
Inverness  UK Limited,  which are both 100% owned by the same  shareholder.  The
inventory  within the Inverness UK Limited  product lines is supplied  primarily
by Inverness  Corporation.  For the period from January 1, 1997 through November
30,  1997,  sales from  Inverness  Corporation  to  Inverness  UK  Limited  were
approximately $1,290,000, all of which were eliminated during consolidation.

(5)  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

     SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS

During the period  January 1, 1997 through  November 30, 1997,  sales to a major
customer comprised  approximately 11% of the Company's revenues. At November 30,
1997,  the amount due from this  customer  included in accounts  receivable  was
approximately $1,079,000.

     VENDOR CONCENTRATION

The Company purchased approximately 26% of its inventory from two vendors during
period  January 1, 1997 through  November 30,  1997.  At November 30, 1997,  the
amounts due to these  vendors  included in  accounts  payable was  approximately
$13,000.

              STYLING TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND ACQUIRED BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following  unaudited pro forma  financial  statements  include the unaudited
condensed  consolidated  pro  forma  balance  sheet  of the  Styling  Technology
Corporation  (the Company or STC),  as of  September  30,  1997,  and  unaudited
condensed  consolidated  pro forma  statements of operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996.

On  December  10,  1997,  STC  acquired   certain  product  lines  of  Inverness
Corporation  and  Inverness  (UK) Limited  (collectively,  Inverness)  for $20.0
million in cash ($3.5  million  will be held in escrow  pending  the  successful
transition   of  the   manufacturing   of  certain   products   to  an  offshore
manufacturer). In connection with the Inverness acquisition, the Company entered
into a credit facility with Credit Agricole Indosuez for $75.0 million, of which
$50.0 million was issued to pay for the Inverness  acquisition,  certain related
Inverness  acquisition fees and the payoff of the existing credit facility.  The
Inverness acquisition and the credit facility with Credit Argricole Indosuez are
herein referred to the Transactions.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of September 30,
1997 gives effect to the  Transactions  as if they had occurred on September 30,
1997. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statement of operations for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 assumes the  Transactions  occurred on
January 1, 1997 and the unaudited condensed  consolidated pro forma statement of
operations  for the year  ended  December  31,  1996  assumes  the  Transactions
occurred on January 1, 1996.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of September 30,
1997  of the  Company  has  been  derived  from:  (i) the  unaudited  historical
financial  statements of the Company,  and (ii) the audited historical statement
of net assets of certain product lines of Inverness as of November 30, 1997. The
unaudited condensed  consolidated pro forma statement of operations for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1997 of the  Company  has been  derived  from the
unaudited  historical  financial  statements  of the Company for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997; the unaudited  historical financial statements of U.K.
ABBA Products, Inc. (ABBA) for the period from January 1, 1997 to June 25, 1997;
and the  unaudited  historical  statement of operating  revenues and expenses of
Inverness  for the  period  from  January 1, 1997 to  September  30,  1997.  The
unaudited condensed  consolidated pro forma statement of operations for the year
ended  December  31, 1996 has been  derived  from:  (i) the  audited  historical
financial  statements  from January 1, 1996 to November 25, 1996 for Body Drench
and  Kotchammer  Investments,  Inc.  (KII);  the  audited  historical  financial
statements from March 1, 1996 to November 25, 1996 for Gena  Laboratories,  Inc.
(Gena);  the audited  historical  financial  statements  from October 1, 1996 to
November 25, 1996 for JDS  Manufacturing  Co.,  Inc.  (JDS),  (ii) the unaudited
historical  financial statements for the period from January 1, 1996 to February
28, 1996 for Gena,  and the unaudited  historical  financial  statements for the
period from  January 1, 1996 to  September  30, 1996 for JDS,  (iii) the audited
historical  financial  statements  for the  Company  from  November  26, 1996 to
December 31, 1996; the audited historical  financial statements for ABBA for the
year ended December 31, 1996, (iv) the unaudited statement of operating revenues
and  expenses of  Inverness  for the period from January 1, 1996 to December 31,
1996. The unaudited  condensed  consolidated  pro forma statements of operations
referred to above may not be indicative  of actual  results that would have been
achieved if the  Transactions had occurred on the dates indicated or the results
that may be realized in the future.  The unaudited  condensed  consolidated  pro
forma  financial  statements  contain  certain  adjustments  that  are  directly
attributable to the Transactions.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations above do
not  include  any  adjustments   related  to  potential  selling,   general  and
administrative expense synergies as a result of the acquisition of Inverness and
ABBA.
