                       REV HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Effective August 5, 1997, Revlon Worldwide Corporation ("Revlon
Worldwide") was merged with and into Revlon Worldwide (Parent) Corporation
("Revlon Worldwide (Parent)") (the "Merger"), with Revlon Worldwide (Parent)
surviving the Merger and changing its name to REV Holdings Inc.

         REV Holdings Inc. (and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company")
is a holding company formed in 1997, that conducts its business exclusively
through its indirect subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation
("Products Corporation") and its subsidiaries. Products Corporation was formed
in April 1992 and, on June 24, 1992, succeeded to assets and liabilities of the
cosmetic and skin care, fragrances and personal care products business of its
then parent company, whose name was changed from Revlon, Inc. to Revlon
Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). REV Holdings Inc. has had no business operations of
its own and its only material asset is its ownership of 83.1% of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Revlon, Inc. (which represents
approximately 97.4% of the voting power of those outstanding shares), which, in
turn, owns all of the capital stock of Products Corporation. The Company is an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings and an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc., a corporation wholly owned by
Mafco Holdings Inc.

         The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are
unaudited. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.

         The Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the
accounts of the Company after elimination of all material intercompany balances
and transactions. The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the reporting of revenues and expenses to prepare these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         The Company recognizes gains and losses on sales of subsidiary stock
in its Statements of Operations.

         Effective January 1997, Mexico was considered a hyperinflationary
economy. Effective July 1997, Brazil was considered a non-hyperinflationary
economy. The impact of accounting for Brazil as a non-hyperinflationary economy
was not material to the Company's operating results.

         The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities,
consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." As of September 30, 1997, the fair market value of the
Company's investments in restricted marketable securities approximated carrying
value. The restricted marketable securities were deposited in an irrevocable 
trust in connection with the covenant defeasance of a portion of Revlon 
Worldwide's Senior Secured Discount Notes due 1998 (the "Revlon Worldwide 
Notes")(See Note 10).

         The results of operations and financial position, including working
capital, for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be
expected for a full year, due, in part, to seasonal fluctuations, which are
normal for the Company's business.

         The Company matches advertising and promotion expenses with sales
revenues for interim reporting purposes. Advertising and promotion expenses
estimated for a full year are charged to earnings for interim reporting
purposes in proportion to the relationship that net sales for such period bear
to estimated full year net sales. As a result, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, disbursements and commitments for advertising and
promotion exceeded advertising and promotion expenses by $38.7 and $25.5,
respectively, and such amounts were deferred.

(3) REVLON INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         On March 5, 1996, Revlon, iIc. completed an initial public offering
(the "Revlon IPO") in which it issued and sold 8,625,000 shares of its class A
common stock for $24.00 per share. The proceeds, net of underwriter's discount
and related fees and expenses, of $187.8 were contributed to Products
Corporation and were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the credit
agreement in effect at that time (the "1995 Credit Agreement") and to pay fees
and expenses related to the credit agreement which became effective on March 5,
1996 (the "1996 Credit Agreement").

         As a result of the Revlon IPO, the Company's ownership in Revlon, Inc.
was reduced to 83.1% of Revlon, Inc.'s outstanding common stock (with the
Company having approximately 97.4% of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of Revlon, Inc. common stock) from 100% prior to the Revlon IPO.
Additionally, the Company recognized a $187.8 gain on this transaction in the
first quarter of 1996.

(4)  EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

         The extraordinary item in the nine months ended September 30, 1997
resulted from the write-off in the second quarter of 1997 of deferred financing
costs associated with the extinguishment of borrowings under the 1996 Credit
Agreement prior to maturity and costs of approximately $6.3 in connection with
the redemption of Products Corporation's 10 7/8% Sinking Fund Debentures due
2010 (the "Sinking Fund Debentures") and from the cancellation in the first
quarter of 1997 of a portion of the Revlon Worldwide Notes (see Note 10) as
well as the write-off of the deferred financing costs associated with such
cancellation. The extinguishment of borrowings under the 1996 Credit Agreement
and the redemption of the Sinking Fund Debentures were financed by the proceeds
from a new Products Corporation credit agreement which became effective in May
1997 (the "Credit Agreement"). The extraordinary item in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 resulted from the write-off in the first quarter of 1996 of
deferred financing costs associated with the extinguishment of borrowings under
the 1995 Credit Agreement prior to maturity with the net proceeds from the
Revlon IPO and proceeds from the 1996 Credit Agreement.

(5)  BUSINESS CONSOLIDATIONS AND OTHER, NET

         In the third quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a net gain of
approximately $1.0 on the sale of a factory in one of its International
operations. Costs incurred in connection with the rationalization of this
facility were recorded in the first quarter of 1997 when the building was
determined to be held for sale. In the second quarter of 1997, the Company's
retail subsidiary incurred business consolidation costs, including severance
and other costs, in connection with the consolidation of certain warehouse,
distribution and headquarter operations related to the merger with The Cosmetic
Center, Inc. (See Note 6). In addition, in the first and second quarters of
1997, the Company incurred business consolidation costs in connection with the
implementation of its business strategy to rationalize factory operations,
primarily including severance and other related costs in certain International
operations. These business consolidation costs were partially offset by an
approximately $12.7 settlement of a claim in the second quarter of 1997. As of
September 30, 1997, the balance of the business consolidation liability was
approximately $18.3, which amount is included in accrued expenses and other and
other long-term liabilities.

(6)  ACQUISITION

         On April 25, 1997, Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc. ("PFC"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Products Corporation, and The Cosmetic Center, Inc.
("CCI") completed the merger of PFC with and into CCI (the "Cosmetic Merger")
with CCI (subsequent to the Cosmetic Merger, "Cosmetic Center") surviving the
Cosmetic Merger. In the Cosmetic Merger, Products Corporation received in
exchange for all of the capital stock of PFC newly issued Class C common stock
of Cosmetic Center constituting approximately 85.0% of the outstanding common
stock. Accordingly, the Cosmetic Merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting, so that PFC is considered
the acquiring entity for accounting purposes even though Cosmetic Center is the
surviving legal entity. The deemed purchase price paid for the acquisition was
approximately $27.9 and the goodwill associated with the Cosmetic Merger was
approximately $10.5. The company recognized a gain of $6.0 resulting from the
sale of subsidiary stock pursuant to the Cosmetic Merger. The results of the
Company for the period ended September 30, 1997 include the results of
operations of Cosmetic Center since the effective date of the Cosmetic Merger.

         The results of cosmetic center as reflected in the accounts of the
company (which, using the Company's basis of presentation, includes buying,
occupancy and distribution costs in selling, general & administrative
("S,G&A") expenses) are as follows (for periods prior to april 25, 1997, only
PFC's results are reported):

(7)  NEW CREDIT AGREEMENT

         In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into the Credit Agreement
with a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members change from time to time.
The proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement were used to repay the
loans outstanding under the 1996 Credit Agreement and to redeem the Sinking
Fund Debentures and will be used for general corporate purposes or, in the case
of the Acquisition Facility (as defined herein), the financing of acquisitions.

         The Credit Agreement is comprised of five senior secured facilities: a
$115.0 initial term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"), an $85.0 deferred
draw term loan facility (the "Deferred Draw Term Loan Facility" and, together
with the Term Loan

                                   7

                       REV HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

Facility, the "Term Loan Facilities"), a $300.0 multi-currency facility (the
"Multi-Currency Facility"), a $200.0 revolving acquisition facility, which may
be increased to $400.0 under certain circumstances with the consent of a
majority of the lenders (the "Acquisition Facility"), and a $50.0 special
standby letter of credit facility (the "Special LC Facility" and together with
the Term Loan Facility, the Deferred Draw Term Loan Facility, the
Multi-Currency Facility and the Acquisition Facility, the "Credit Facilities").
The Multi-Currency Facility is available (i) to Products Corporation in
revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars (the "Revolving Credit
Loans"), (ii) to Products Corporation in standby and commercial letters of
credit denominated in U.S. dollars (the "Operating Letters of Credit") and
(iii) to Products Corporation and certain of its international subsidiaries
designated from time to time in revolving credit loans and bankers' acceptances
denominated in U.S. dollars and other currencies (the "Local Loans"). At
September 30, 1997 Products Corporation had approximately $200.0 outstanding
under the Term Loan Facilities, $217.4 outstanding under the Multi-Currency
Facility, $36.5 outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and $34.3
outstanding under the Special LC Facility.


         The Credit Facilities (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear
interest as of September 30, 1997 at a rate equal to, at Products Corporation's
option, either (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus 1/4 of 1% (or 1.25% for Local
Loans); or (B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25%. Loans in foreign currencies bear
interest as of September 30, 1997 at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate or,
in the case of Local Loans, the local lender rate, in each case plus 1.25%. The
applicable margin is reduced (or increased, but not above 3/4 of 1% for
Alternate Base Rate Loans not constituting Local Loans and 1.75% for other
loans) in the event Products Corporation attains (or fails to attain) certain
leverage ratios. Products Corporation pays the Lender a commitment fee as of
September 30, 1997 of 3/8 of 1% of the unused portion of the Credit Facilities,
subject to reduction (or increase, but not above 1/2 of 1%) based on attaining
(or failing to attain) certain leverage ratios. Products Corporation also paid
certain facility and other fees to the lenders and agents upon closing of the
Credit Agreement. Prior to its termination date, the commitments under the
Credit Facilities will be reduced by: (i) the net proceeds in excess of $10.0
each year received during such year from sales of assets by Holdings (or
certain of its subsidiaries), Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
(and $25.0 with respect to certain specified dispositions), subject to certain
limited exceptions, (ii) certain proceeds from the sales of collateral security
granted to the lenders, (iii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt, (iv) 50% of
the excess cash flow of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries (unless
certain leverage ratios are attained) and (v) certain scheduled reductions in
the case of the Term Loan Facilities, which will commence on May 31, 1998 in
the aggregate amount of $1.0 annually over the remaining life of the Credit
Agreement, and in the case of the Acquisition Facility, which will commence on
December 31, 1999 in the amount of $25.0 and in the amounts of $60.0 during
2000, $90.0 during 2001 and $25.0 during 2002 (which reductions will be
proportionately increased if the Acquisition Facility is increased). The Credit
Agreement will terminate on May 30, 2002. The weighted average interest rates
on the Term Loan Facilities and the Multi-Currency Facility were 7.1% and 6.3%
per annum, respectively, as of September 30, 1997.

         The Credit Facilities, subject to certain exceptions and limitations,
are supported by guarantees from Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries,
Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and the domestic subsidiaries of Products
Corporation. The obligations of Products Corporation under the Credit
Facilities and the obligations under the aforementioned guarantees are secured,
subject to certain limitations, by (i) mortgages on Holdings' Edison, New
Jersey and Products Corporation's Phoenix, Arizona facilities; (ii) the capital
stock of Products Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries, 66% of the capital
stock of its first tier foreign subsidiaries and the capital stock of certain
subsidiaries of Holdings; (iii) domestic intellectual property and certain
other domestic intangibles of (x) Products Corporation and its domestic
subsidiaries (other than Cosmetic Center) and (y) certain subsidiaries of
Holdings; (iv) domestic inventory and accounts receivable of (x) Products
Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries (other than Cosmetic Center) and (y)
certain subsidiaries of Holdings; and (v) the assets of certain foreign
subsidiary borrowers under the Multi-Currency Facility (to support their
borrowings only). The Credit Agreement provides that the liens on the stock and
personal property referred to above may be shared from time to time with
specified types of other obligations incurred or guaranteed by Products
Corporation, such as interest rate hedging obligations, working capital lines
and a subsidiary of Products Corporation's Yen-denominated credit agreement
(the "Yen Credit Agreement").

         The Credit Agreement contains various material restrictive covenants
prohibiting Products Corporation from (i) incurring additional indebtedness or
guarantees, with certain exceptions, (ii) making dividend, tax sharing and
other payments or loans to the Company or other affiliates, with certain
exceptions, including among others, permitting Products Corporation to pay
dividends and make distributions to Revlon, Inc., among other things, to enable
Revlon, Inc. to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company,
including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting,
regulatory fees such as Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding
company, and to pay dividends or make distributions in certain circumstances to
finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its common stock in

connection with the delivery of such common stock to grantees under any stock
option plan, provided that the aggregate amount of such dividends and
distributions taken together with any purchases of Revlon, Inc. common stock on
the market to satisfy matching obligations under an excess savings plan may not
exceed $6.0 per annum, (iii) creating liens or other encumbrances on their
assets or revenues, granting negative pledges or selling or transferring any of
their assets except in the ordinary course of business, all subject to certain
limited exceptions, (iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or
acquisition transactions, (v) prepaying indebtedness, subject to certain
limited exceptions, (vi) making investments, subject to certain limited
exceptions, and (vii) entering into transactions with affiliates of Products
Corporation other than upon terms no less favorable to Products Corporation or
its subsidiaries than it would obtain in an arms' length transaction. In
addition to the foregoing, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants
requiring Products Corporation to maintain minimum interest coverage and
covenants which limit the leverage ratio of Products Corporation and the amount
of capital expenditures.

(8)  COSMETIC CENTER CREDIT FACILITY

         In connection with the Cosmetic Merger, on April 25, 1997 Cosmetic
Center entered into a loan and security agreement (the "Cosmetic Center
Facility"). Cosmetic Center paid the then outstanding balance of $14.0 on CCI's
former credit agreement with borrowings under the Cosmetic Center Facility. On
April 28, 1997, Cosmetic Center used approximately $21.2 of borrowings under
the Cosmetic Center Facility to fund the cash election associated with the
Cosmetic Merger. The Cosmetic Center Facility, which expires on April 30, 1999,
provides up to $70.0 of revolving credit tied to a borrowing base of 65% of
Cosmetic Center's eligible inventory, as defined in the Cosmetic Center
Facility. Borrowings under the Cosmetic Center Facility are secured by Cosmetic
Center's accounts receivable and inventory and proceeds therefrom. Under the
Cosmetic Center Facility, Cosmetic Center may borrow at the London Inter-Bank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25% or at the bank's prime rate plus 0.5%.
Cosmetic Center also pays a commitment fee equal to one-quarter of one percent
per annum. Interest is payable on a monthly basis except for interest on LIBOR
rate loans with a maturity of less than three months, which is payable at the
end of the LIBOR rate loan period and interest on LIBOR rate loans with a
maturity of more than three months, which is payable every three months. If
Cosmetic Center terminates the Cosmetic Center Facility, Cosmetic Center is
obligated to pay a prepayment penalty of $0.7 if the termination occurs before
the first anniversary date of the Cosmetic Center Facility and $0.2 if the
termination occurs after the first anniversary date. The Cosmetic Center
Facility contains various restrictive covenants and requires Cosmetic Center to
maintain a minimum tangible net worth and an interest coverage ratio. At
September 30, 1997, Cosmetic Center had approximately $37.4 outstanding under
the Cosmetic Center Facility.

(9)  CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION

         Effective July 1, 1997, Holdings contributed to Products Corporation
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Bill Blass business not
already owned by Products Corporation (the "Blass Business"). The contributed
assets approximated the contributed liabilities and were accounted for at
historical cost in a manner similar to that of a pooling of interests and,
accordingly, prior period financial statements were restated as if the
contribution took place prior to the beginning of the earliest period
presented. For the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Blass
Business' net sales were $0.6 and $0.6, respectively, and income (loss) before
income taxes was $0.3 and ($0.1), respectively. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Blass Business' net sales were $1.2 and $1.5,
respectively, and income before income taxes was $0.4 and $0.0, respectively.

(10)  PURCHASE OF THE REVLON WORLDWIDE NOTES

         During March 1997, $778.4 principal amount at maturity (accreted value
of $694.0) of the Revlon Worldwide Notes was delivered to the Trustee under the
indenture governing the Revlon Worldwide Notes (the "Revlon Worldwide
Indenture") for cancellation. On April 2, 1997, funds were deposited in an
irrevocable trust to effect the covenant defeasance of the remaining balance of
$337.4 principal amount at maturity of the Revlon Worldwide Notes. At September
30, 1997, the accreted value of the Revlon Worldwide Notes was $319.8. In
connection with the Revlon Worldwide Notes that were canceled, the Company
recorded a capital contribution of $560.1 and recorded an extraordinary loss of
$43.8, which included the write-off of deferred financing costs, in the first
quarter of 1997.

         The covenant defeasance of the Revlon Worldwide Notes was effected on
August 4, 1997, the 124th day following the deposit.

         Following the covenant defeasance, on August 5, 1997, Revlon Worldwide
was merged with and into Revlon Worldwide (Parent), with Revlon Worldwide
(Parent) surviving the Merger and changing its name to REV Holdings Inc. In
connection with the Merger, the Company assumed the obligations of Revlon
Worldwide under the Revlon Worldwide Notes and the Revlon Worldwide Indenture.
Because of the effectiveness of the covenant defeasance, however, the Company
may omit to comply with substantially all of its covenants and other
obligations, other than payment (which will be made out of the irrevocable
trust), under the Revlon Worldwide Indenture. As a result of the Merger, REV 
Holdings Inc. directly owns all of the shares of common stock of Revlon, Inc. 
that were owned by Revlon Worldwide and were pledged to secure the Revlon 
Worldwide Notes. Following the Merger, the Company pledged 20 million shares 
of Revlon, Inc. common stock to secure the indebtedness of the Company and the
balance to secure the obligations of an affiliate (See Note 11).

(11)  ISSUANCE OF SENIOR SECURED DISCOUNT NOTES DUE 2001

         On March 5, 1997, the Company issued and sold $770.0 aggregate
principal amount at maturity of its Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2001 (the
"Old Notes"). The Old Notes were issued at a discount from their principal
amount at maturity representing a yield to maturity of 10 3/4% per annum
calculated from March 5, 1997. The Company filed a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to an offer to exchange (the
"Exchange Offer") the Old Notes for a like principal amount of notes (the 
"New Notes") with substantially identical terms (the New Notes, together with 
the Old Notes, being the "Notes"), which registration statement became 
effective on July 9, 1997. The Exchange Offer expired on August 13, 1997, and 
substantially all of the Old Notes were exchanged for the New Notes. The 
indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") requires the Company to 
hold at all times a minimum percentage of common stock of Revlon, Inc. pledged
to secure the Notes. In addition, the Indenture contains covenants that, 
among other things, limit (i) the issuance of additional debt and redeemable 
stock by the Company or Revlon, Inc. and the issuance of preferred stock by 
Revlon, Inc., (ii) the issuance of debt and preferred stock by Products 
Corporation and its subsidiaries, (iii) the payments of dividends on capital 
stock of the Company and its subsidiaries and the redemption of capital stock
of the Company, (iv) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, (v) transactions 
with affiliates and (vi) consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or 
substantially all of the Company's assets. The Indenture also prohibits 
certain restrictions on distributions from subsidiaries. All of these 
limitations and prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of 
qualifications which are set forth in the Indenture.

         Excluding the results of Cosmetic Center, which are included in the

Net sales

         Net sales were $623.5 and $571.7 for the third quarter of 1997 and
1996, respectively, an increase of $51.8, or 9.1% or 11.5% on a constant U.S.
dollar basis, and were $1,688.8 and $1,554.8 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of $134.0, or 8.6% or
10.8% on a constant U.S. dollar basis, primarily as a result of successful new
product introductions worldwide, increased demand in the United States, the
impact of net sales of Cosmetic Center after April 25, 1997, increased
distribution internationally into the expanding self-select distribution
channel and the further development of new international markets.

         United States. The United States operation's net sales increased to
$389.0 for the third quarter of 1997 from $345.3 for the third quarter of 1996,
an increase of $43.7, or 12.7%, and increased to $1,015.8 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $899.2 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, an increase of $116.6, or 13.0%. Net sales improved for the third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of continued
consumer acceptance of new product offerings, general improvement in consumer
demand for the Company's color cosmetics and the inclusion of incremental net
sales from Cosmetic Center after the Cosmetic Merger on April 25, 1997.
Downward trends in the mass fragrance industry prompted the Company to
de-emphasize new fragrance products and to continue its strategy of growing its
core cosmetics business. Accordingly, the Company realized lower than expected
sales and profits from its fragrance portfolio, which will continue in the 
fourth quarter. Even though consumer sell-through for the REVLON and ALMAY 
brands, as described below in more detail, has increased by double-digit 
growth rates, the Company's sales to its customers have been and may continue 
to be impacted by retail inventory balancing and reductions resulting from 
consolidation in the chain drugstore industry in the U.S. As a result, the 
ULTIMA II distribution expansion into select drug stores has been slower than 
expected and is delayed into the second half of 1998. However, results have 
been successful in those drug store doors which have begun offering the 
ULTIMA II franchise. Net sales comparisons were also impacted by the launch 
in the third quarter of 1996 of a professional product line which was not 
repeated this year and by lower sales at Cosmetic Center due to post Cosmetic 
Merger-related disruptions and the UPS strike in August 1997.

         Revlon brand color cosmetics continued as the number one brand in
dollar market share in the self-select distribution channel with a share of
21.8% for the nine-months ended September 30, 1997 versus 21.6% for the
comparable 1996 period. Market share, which is subject to a number of
conditions, can vary from quarter to quarter as a result of such things as
timing of new product introductions and advertising and promotional spending.
New product introductions (including, in 1997, certain products launched during
1996) generated incremental net sales in the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, principally as a result of launches of products in
the COLORSTAY collection, including COLORSTAY eye makeup and face products such
as powder and blush, COLORSTAY HAIRCOLOR, launched in the third quarter of
1997, TOP SPEED nail enamel, launched in the third quarter of 1997, and
launches of REVLON AGE DEFYING line extensions, the STREETWEAR collection, NEW
COMPLEXION face makeup, LINE & SHINE lip makeup, launches of products in the
ALMAY AMAZING collection, including lip makeup, eye makeup, face makeup and
concealer and ALMAY TIME-OFF REVITALIZER.

         International. The International operation's net sales increased to
$234.5 for the third quarter of 1997 from $226.4 for the third quarter of 1996,
an increase of $8.1, or 3.6% on a reported basis or 9.7% on a constant U.S.
dollar basis, and increased to $673.0 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 from $655.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of
$17.4, or 2.7% on a reported basis or 7.9% on a constant U.S. dollar basis. Net
sales improved for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997
principally as a result of increased distribution into the expanding
self-select distribution channel, successful new product introductions,
including the continued roll-out of the COLORSTAY cosmetics collection and the
further development of new international markets, partially offset by sales
lost in exiting the unprofitable demonstrator-assisted channel in Japan, less
favorable economic conditions in several international markets, and, on a
reported basis, the unfavorable effect on sales of a stronger U.S. dollar
against certain foreign currencies, primarily the Spanish peseta, the Italian
lira and several other European currencies, the Australian dollar, the South
African rand and the Japanese yen. New products such as COLORSTAY HAIRCOLOR and
STREETWEAR were introduced in select international markets in the third quarter
of 1997. The International operation's sales are divided into the following
geographic areas: Europe, which is comprised of Europe, the Middle East and
Africa (in which net sales increased by 1.4% to $99.4 for the third quarter of
1997 as compared to the third quarter of 1996, and increased by 2.1% to $298.9
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1996); the Western Hemisphere, which is comprised of
Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America and Puerto Rico (in which net
sales increased by 15.5% to $90.9 for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to
the third quarter of 1996, and increased by 11.1% to $244.5 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1996); and the Far East (in which net

sales decreased by 11.1% to $44.2 for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to
the third quarter of 1996, and decreased by 9.2% to $129.6 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1996). Excluding in both periods the effect of the Company's strategy of
exiting the demonstrator-assisted distribution channel in Japan, Far East net
sales on a constant U.S. dollar basis for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 would have been at approximately the same level as
those in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996.

         The Company's operations in Brazil are significant and, along with
operations in certain other countries, have been subject to, and may continue
to be subject to, significant political and economic uncertainties. In Brazil,
net sales, operating income and income (loss) before taxes were $30.2, $1.8 and
($0.3), respectively, for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $31.9, $6.0 and
$4.6, respectively, for the third quarter of 1996 and were $95.9, $10.9 and
$4.6, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to
$96.7, $19.7 and $15.9, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. Results of operations in Brazil for the 1997 periods were adversely
impacted by competitive activity affecting the Company's toiletries business.
In Mexico, operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 were adversely affected by the continued weakness of the Mexican economy.

 Cost of sales

         As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 34.8% for the third
quarter of 1997 compared to 33.8% for the third quarter of 1996, and 34.7% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 33.3% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, respectively. The increase in cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales is due primarily to factors which enhanced overall
operating income including increased sales of the Company's higher cost
enhanced-performance technology-based products, increased export sales and
increased sales of lower margin products (such as those products sold by
Cosmetic Center), and other factors including the effect of weaker local
currencies on the cost of imported purchases and competitive pressures on the
Company's toiletries business in certain International markets. These factors
were partially offset by the benefits of improved overhead absorption against
higher production volumes and more efficient global production and purchasing.
Excluding the results of Cosmetic Center, as a percentage of net sales, cost of
sales would have been 32.8% for the third quarter of 1997 compared to 33.3% for
the third quarter of 1996, and 33.2% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 compared to 32.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively.

S,G&A expenses

         As a percentage of net sales, S,G&A expenses were 53.9% for the third
quarter of 1997, an improvement from 54.8% for the third quarter of 1996, and
57.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an improvement from 58.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. S,G&A expenses other than
advertising expense, as a percentage of net sales, improved to 37.2% for the
third quarter of 1997 compared with 37.9% for the third quarter of 1996 and
improved to 40.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with
42.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of
reduced general and administrative expenses, improved productivity and lower
distribution costs for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. In accordance with its business
strategy, the Company increased advertising and consumer-directed promotions in
the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with the
comparable 1996 periods to support growth in existing product lines, new
product launches and increased distribution in the self-select distribution
channel in many of the Company's markets in the International operation.
Advertising expense increased by 8.1% to $104.5, or 16.8% of net sales, for the
third quarter of 1997 from $96.7, or 16.9% of net sales, for the third quarter
of 1996 and increased by 8.8% to $275.9, or 16.3% of net sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $253.5, or 16.3% of net sales, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Business consolidation costs and other, net

         In the third quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a net gain of
approximately $1.0 on the sale of a factory in one of its International
operations. Costs incurred in connection with the rationalization of this
facility were recorded in the first quarter of 1997 when the building was
determined to be held for sale. In the second quarter of 1997, Cosmetic Center
incurred business consolidation costs, including severance and other costs in
connection with the Cosmetic Merger and the consolidation of certain warehouse,
distribution and headquarter operations. In addition, in the first and second
quarters of 1997, the Company incurred business consolidation costs in
connection with the implementation of its business strategy to rationalize
factory operations, primarily including severance and other related costs in
certain International operations. These business consolidation costs were
partially offset by an approximately $12.7 settlement of a claim in the second
quarter of 1997. These business consolidations are intended to lower the
Company's operating costs and increase efficiency in the future. A facility
relating to the International operation is held for sale, and the Company
believes it may realize a gain upon any such sale based upon current estimated
market values.

 Operating income

         As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $6.3, or
9.7%, to $71.2 for the third quarter of 1997 from $64.9 for the third quarter
of 1996 and increased by $8.3, or 6.7%, to $132.2 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $123.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

 Other expenses/income

         Interest expense was $56.6 for the third quarter of 1997 compared to
$60.8 for the third quarter of 1996 and $176.0 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $178.6 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The decrease in interest expense for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding 1996 periods is
primarily due to the cancellation of the Revlon Worldwide Notes and lower
interest rates under the Credit Agreement and lower interest expense under the
New Notes partially offset by higher average outstanding borrowings under the
Credit Agreement.

         Interest and net investment income was $5.5 for the third quarter of
1997 compared to $0.3 for the third quarter of 1996 and $13.6 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $2.3 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. The increase in interest and net investment income was
primarily due to the interest income recognized on marketable securities that
were purchased by the Company and deposited in an irrevocable trust to effect
the covenant defeasance of the remaining Revlon Worldwide Notes not previously
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

         Gain on sale of subsidiary stock of $6.3 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 resulted primarily from the Cosmetic Merger. A gain on sale
of subsidiary stock of $187.8 was recognized in the first quarter of 1996 as a
result of the Revlon IPO.

         Foreign currency losses, net, were $2.4 for the third quarter of 1997
compared to $1.9 for the third quarter of 1996 and $5.2 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to $5.7 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. The increase in foreign currency losses in the third quarter of 1997
as compared to the third quarter of 1996 resulted primarily from the
strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus certain currencies in the Far East. The
reduction for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
corresponding 1996 period resulted primarily from the stabilization of the
Venezuelan bolivar versus the devaluation which occurred during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar versus certain currencies in the Far East and most European currencies.

Provision for income taxes

         The provision for income taxes was $0.2 and $5.8 for the third quarter
of 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $9.2 and $18.7 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease was primarily
attributable to the implementation of tax planning involving the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards in certain International operations and
benefits from net operating loss carryforwards domestically.

Extraordinary item

         The extraordinary item in the nine months ended September 30, 1997
resulted from the write-off in the second quarter of 1997 of deferred financing
costs associated with the extinguishment of borrowings under the 1996 Credit
Agreement prior to maturity with proceeds from the Credit Agreement, and costs
of approximately $6.3 in connection with the redemption of Products
Corporation's Sinking Fund Debentures and from the cancellation in the first
quarter of 1997 of a portion of the Revlon Worldwide Notes as well as the
write-off of the deferred financing costs associated with such cancellation.
The extraordinary item in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 resulted
from the write-off in the first quarter of 1996 of deferred financing costs
associated with the extinguishment of borrowings under the 1995 Credit
Agreement prior to maturity with the net proceeds from the Revlon IPO and
proceeds from the 1996 Credit Agreement.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash used for operating activities was $109.8 and $148.0 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in
net cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1996 resulted primarily
from higher operating income and improved working capital management, partially
offset by increased spending on merchandise display units in connection with
the Company's continued expansion into the self-select distribution channel.

         Net cash used for investing activities was $401.7 and $39.8 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net cash used for
investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 consisted of
the purchase of marketable securities that were deposited in an irrevocable
trust to effect the covenant defeasance of the remaining Revlon Worldwide Notes
not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, cash paid in
connection with the cash election pursuant to the Cosmetic Merger, capital
expenditures and the acquisition in the third quarter of a South American hair
care manufacturer and its distributor. Net cash used for investing activities
for the 1996 period consisted entirely of capital expenditures.

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $513.9 and $173.1 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net cash
provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
included cash drawn under the 1996 Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement and
Cosmetic Center's Facility and net proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes,
partially offset by the purchase of the Revlon Worldwide Notes, repayment of
borrowings under the 1996 Credit Agreement, the payment of fees and expenses
related to the Credit Agreement, the repayment of borrowings under the Yen
Credit Agreement, repayment of borrowings under CCI's former credit agreement
and the redemption of the Sinking Fund Debentures. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 included the
net proceeds from the Revlon IPO, cash drawn under the 1995 Credit Agreement
and under the 1996 Credit Agreement, partially offset by the repayment of
borrowings under the 1995 Credit Agreement, the payment of fees and expenses
related to the 1996 Credit Agreement and the repayment of borrowings under the
Yen Credit Agreement.

         In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into the Credit Agreement
with a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members change from time to time.
The proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement were used for the purpose
of repaying the loans outstanding under the 1996 Credit Agreement and to redeem
the Sinking Fund Debentures and will be used for general corporate purposes or,
in the case of the Acquisition Facility (as defined herein), the financing of
acquisitions.

         A subsidiary of Products Corporation is the borrower under the Yen
Credit Agreement, which had a principal balance of approximately (yen)4.3
billion as of September 30, 1997 (approximately $35.8 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of September 30, 1997). In accordance with the terms of the Yen Credit
Agreement, approximately (yen)539 million (approximately $5.2 U.S. dollar
equivalent) was paid in January 1996 and approximately (yen)539 million
(approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent) was paid in January 1997. In June
1997, Products Corporation amended and restated the Yen Credit Agreement to
extend the term to December 31, 2000 subject to earlier termination under
certain circumstances. In accordance with the terms of the Yen Credit
Agreement, as amended and restated, approximately (yen)539 million
(approximately $4.5 U.S. dollar equivalent as of September 30, 1997) is due in
each of March 1998, 1999 and 2000 and (yen)2.7 billion (approximately $22.3
U.S. dollar equivalent as of September 30, 1997) is due on December 31, 2000.

         Products Corporation made an optional sinking fund payment of $13.5
and redeemed all of the outstanding $85.0 principal

amount Sinking Fund Debentures on July 15, 1997 with the proceeds of borrowings
under the Credit Agreement. $9.0 aggregate principal amount of previously
purchased Sinking Fund Debentures were used for the mandatory sinking fund
payment due July 15, 1997.

         Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to
time to supplement its working capital borrowings at interest rates more
favorable to Products Corporation than interest rates under the Credit
Agreement. No such borrowings were outstanding as of September 30, 1997.

         The Company's principal sources of funds are expected to be cash flow
generated from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement and other
existing working capital lines. Various debt instruments and agreements contain
certain provisions that by their terms limit REV Holdings Inc.'s and/or its
subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur additional debt. The
Company's principal uses of funds are expected to be the payment of operating
expenses, working capital and capital expenditure requirements and debt service
payments.

         The Company estimates that capital expenditures for 1997 will be
approximately $55, including approximately $10 for upgrades to the Company's
management information systems. Pursuant to tax sharing agreements, REV
Holdings Inc. and Revlon, Inc. may be required to make tax sharing payments to
Mafco Holdings Inc. as if REV Holdings Inc. or Revlon, Inc., as the case may
be, were filing separate income tax returns, except that no payments are
required by Revlon, Inc. if and to the extent that Products Corporation is
prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making tax sharing payments to
Revlon, Inc. The Credit Agreement prohibits Products Corporation from making
any cash tax sharing payments other than in respect of state and local income
taxes. REV Holdings Inc. anticipates that, with respect to Revlon, Inc. as a
result of net operating tax losses and prohibitions under the Credit Agreement,
and with respect to REV Holdings Inc. as a result of the absence of business
operations or a source of income of its own, no federal tax payments or
payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to the tax sharing agreements will be made
for 1997.

         As of September 30, 1997, Products Corporation was party to a series
of interest rate swap agreements (which expire at various dates through
December 2001) totaling a notional amount of $225.0 in which Products
Corporation agreed to pay on such notional amount a variable interest rate
equal to the six month LIBOR (5.781% per annum at October 28, 1997) to its
counterparties and the counterparties agreed to pay on such notional amounts
fixed interest rates averaging approximately 6.03% per annum. Products
Corporation entered into these agreements in 1993 and 1994 (and in the first
quarter of 1996 extended a portion equal to a notional amount of $125.0 through
December 2001) to convert the interest rate on $225.0 of fixed-rate
indebtedness to a variable rate. If Products Corporation had terminated these
agreements, which Products Corporation considers to be held for other than
trading purposes, on September 30, 1997, a loss of approximately $1.8 would
have been realized. Certain other swap agreements were terminated in 1993 for a
gain of $14.0. The amortization of the realized gain on these agreements for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was approximately $2.4. The remaining
unamortized gain, which is being amortized over the original lives of the
agreements, is $0.7 as of September 30, 1997. Although cash flow from the
presently outstanding agreements was slightly positive for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, future positive or negative cash flows from these
agreements will depend upon the trend of short-term interest rates during the
remaining lives of such agreements. Based on current interest rate levels,
Products Corporation expects to have break even cash flow from these agreements
in 1997, although no assurances can be given that short-term interest rates
will not rise above current levels. In the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties at any time during the remaining lives of the agreements,
Products Corporation could lose some or all of any possible future positive
cash flows from these agreements. However, Products Corporation does not
anticipate nonperformance by such counterparties, although no assurances can be
given.

         Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts
from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated in foreign
currencies. At September 30, 1997, Products Corporation had forward foreign
exchange contracts denominated in various currencies of approximately $9.8
(U.S. dollar equivalent as of September 30, 1997). If Products Corporation had
terminated these contracts on September 30, 1997, no material gain or loss
would have been realized.

         Based upon the Company's current level of operations and anticipated
growth in net sales and earnings as a result of its business strategy, the
Company expects that cash flows from operations and funds from currently
available subsidiary credit facilities and refinancings of existing subsidiary
indebtedness will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated
cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including debt service of its
subsidiaries. However, there can be no assurance that cash flow will be
sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements on a consolidated basis. If
the Company is unable to satisfy such cash requirements from these sources, the
Company could be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing
or delaying

capital expenditures, restructuring subsidiary indebtedness, selling assets or
operations, selling its equity securities, seeking capital contributions or
loans from affiliates of the Company or selling additional shares of capital
stock of Revlon, Inc. There can be no assurance that any of such actions could
be effected, that they would enable the Company's subsidiaries to continue to
satisfy their capital requirements or that they would be permitted under the
terms of the Company's various debt instruments then in effect. The Credit
Agreement requires, subject to certain exceptions, that the proceeds of any
public offering of capital stock by Revlon, Inc. be contributed to Products
Corporation. The Company, as a holding company, will be dependent on
distributions with respect to its approximately 83.1% indirect ownership
interest in Revlon, Inc. from the net earnings generated by Products
Corporation to pay its expenses and to pay the principal amount at maturity of
the New Notes. The terms of the Credit Agreement, the Senior Subordinated
Notes, the 1999 Senior Notes and the Senior Notes generally restrict Products
Corporation from paying dividends or making distributions, except that Products
Corporation is permitted to pay dividends and make distributions to Revlon,
Inc., among other things, to enable Revlon, Inc. to pay expenses incidental to
being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional
fees such as legal and accounting, regulatory fees such as Commission filing
fees and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding
company, and to pay dividends or make distributions in certain circumstances to
finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A common stock in connection
with the delivery of such Class A common stock to grantees under the Revlon,
Inc. 1996 Stock Plan, provided that the aggregate amount of such dividends and
distributions taken together with any purchases of Revlon, Inc. common stock on
the open market to satisfy matching obligations under the excess savings plan
may not exceed $6.0 per annum.

         The Revlon Worldwide Notes mature March 1998 and funds were deposited
in an irrevocable trust to effect the covenant defeasance of the remaining
$337.4 principal amount at maturity of the Revlon Worldwide Notes not
previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The covenant defeasance
of the Revlon Worldwide Notes was effected on August 4, 1997, the 124th day
following the deposit.

         The Company currently anticipates that cash flow generated from
operations will be insufficient to pay the principal amount at maturity of the
New Notes. Accordingly, the Company currently anticipates that it will be
required to adopt one or more alternatives to pay the principal amount at
maturity of the New Notes, such as refinancing its indebtedness, selling its
equity securities or the equity securities or assets of Revlon, Inc. or seeking
capital contributions or loans from its affiliates. There can be no assurance
that any of the foregoing actions could be effected on satisfactory terms, that
any of the foregoing actions would enable the Company to pay the principal
amount at maturity of the New Notes or that any of such actions would be
permitted by the terms of the Indenture or any other debt instruments of the
Company and the Company's subsidiaries then in effect.
