               NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                (in thousands)


                                        
NOTE 1--GENERAL


  U.S.A. Floral Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ("USA Floral" or the
"Company") was founded in April 1997 to create a nationwide distributor of
floral products. USA Floral acquired eight U.S. businesses in the floral
industry (the "Founding Companies") subsequent to the initial public offering
("IPO") of its Common Stock in October 1997 and acquired six U.S. businesses
in the floral industry (the "January 1998 Class") in January 1998 (together, the
"Acquisitions").  These financial statements include the results of operations
of USA Floral, the Founding Companies and the January 1998 Class subsequent to
their acquisition.  The Company intends to continue to acquire, through merger
or purchase, similar companies to expand its national operations. See Note 8 for
companies purchased subsequent to March 31, 1998.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim period presented.  All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.

  The unaudited interim financial information contained in the consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



NOTE 2--ACQUISITIONS

  As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included
in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K, USA Floral acquired all the
outstanding stock of the Founding Companies effective October 16, 1997.

  Additionally, in January 1998, USA Floral consummated the acquisition of the
following six companies (referred to collectively as the "January 1998
Class"):

     Continental Farms Limited ("Continental Farms") and Atlantic Bouquet
  Company Limited ("Atlantic Bouquet"), each a Florida limited partnership
  headquartered in Miami, Florida. Prior to their acquisition, Continental Farms
  and Atlantic Bouquet were under common ownership. Continental Farms is an
  importer and broker of floral products from South America and Central America
  and Atlantic Bouquet is a bouquet manufacturer. Both companies distribute
  their products throughout the United States and Canada.

     XL Group, Inc. ("XL Group") imports fresh cut floral products from farms
  located primarily in Costa Rica, Ecuador and Columbia and distributes these
  products to wholesale florists and supermarkets throughout the United States.
  XL Group is located in Miami, Florida.
<PAGE>
 
     Koehler & Dramm, Inc. ("Koehler & Dramm") is a regional wholesale florist
  company serving retailers throughout the upper Midwest United States. Koehler
  & Dramm is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has a branch operation
  in Kansas City, Missouri.

     Everflora, Inc. ("Everflora") and Everflora Miami, Inc. ("Everflora
  Miami") are importers/brokers of perishable floral products. Everflora,
  headquartered in Creskill, New Jersey, sells various types of flowers to
  wholesalers across the United States. Everflora Miami, headquartered in Miami,
  Florida, sells various types of flowers and bouquets, primarily imported from
  Central America and South America.

     H&H Flowers, Inc. d/b/a/ La Fleurette ("La Fleurette"), which does business
  under the name of "La Fleurette"  assembles and sells floral bouquets and
  other arrangements to the supermarket industry primarily throughout the
  eastern United States. H&H Flowers is headquartered in Miami, Florida. A
  member of the board of directors of USA Floral was a stockholder in H&H
  Flowers.

     Ultraflora Corporation ("Ultraflora") imports and sells floral bouquets
  and other arrangements to mass markets throughout the United States and
  Canada. Ultraflora is headquartered in Miami, Florida. A member of the Board
  of Directors of USA Floral was a stockholder in Ultraflora.

  The following table sets forth the consideration paid (the "Purchase
Consideration") (a) in cash and (b) in shares of Common Stock to the common
stockholders of each of the January 1998 Class, the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired and resulting goodwill. For purposes of computing the
purchase price for accounting purposes, the value of shares is based upon an
average share price calculated using the purchase contract formula, which
incorporates the share price at the date of the letter of intent, the date of
the definitive agreement and the average daily share price between the two
aforementioned events. The total purchase consideration also reflects the
contingent consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in the
definitive agreement for Ultraflora, which provides for the Company to pay
additional consideration, based on 1997 earnings before interest and taxes, of
approximately $5,892 in shares of Common Stock, calculated by reference to the
average closing price of the Common Stock for each trading day during the thirty
calendar day period ending December 31, 1997. The estimated resultant 359,487
shares will be issued when all amounts have been finalized.

  The contingent consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in the
definitive agreement for XL Group has not been included in the purchase
consideration. This arrangement provides for the Company to pay additional
consideration, based on 1998 earnings before interest and taxes, of up to $4,000
in shares of Common Stock, calculated by reference to the average closing price
of the Common Stock for each trading day during the thirty calendar day period
ending December 31, 1998. The contingent consideration related to earn-out
arrangements included in the definitive agreement for La Fleurette also has not
been included in the purchase consideration. This arrangement provides for the
Company to pay additional consideration, without limit, based on earnings before
interest and taxes for the twelve month period ending June 30, 1998, in shares
of Common Stock, calculated by reference to the average closing price of the
Common Stock for each trading day during the thirty calendar day period ending
June 30, 1998.

  The purchase price has been allocated to each company's assets and liabilities
based on their respective carrying values, with the exception of acquired
properties at one of the entities, as these carrying values are deemed to
represent 
<PAGE>
 
fair market value of these assets and liabilities. The fair market
value of acquired properties was estimated and will be determined via an
independent valuation by a third party. The allocation of the purchase price is
preliminary, but the Company does not anticipate that the final allocation of
purchase price will differ significantly from that as described above.

  The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the combined results of
operations of the Company, the January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies, as
if the acquisitions and USA Floral's IPO occurred at January 1, 1997. The pro
forma amounts give effect to certain adjustments including amortization of
intangibles, reduction in salary, bonuses and benefits in connection with the
transactions, anticipated compensation of USA Floral's management, associated
costs of being a public company and income taxes. The pro forma summary does not
purport to represent what USA Floral's results of operations would actually have
been if such transactions in fact had occurred on January 1, 1997 and are not
necessarily representative of USA Floral's results of operations for any future
period. Since the January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies were not under
common control or management, historical combined results may not be comparable
to, or indicative of, future performance.

NOTE 3 --  CREDIT FACILITY

  On October 16, 1997 the Company entered into a Credit Agreement ("Agreement")
with various lending institutions and Bankers Trust Company, as agent, (the
"Bank") for a $100,000 credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Agreement
provides for a revolving credit facility with a $85,000 sub-limit for permitted
acquisitions and a $15,000 sub-limit for working capital loans and letters of
credit. The proceeds of the Credit Facility will be used to finance acquisitions
and fund related working capital requirements. Amounts outstanding under the
<PAGE>
 
Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the Bank's base rate
plus an applicable margin of up to 0.625% or a Eurodollar rate plus an
applicable margin of up to 1.875%. The Company paid on closing a financing fee
of $1,769, which has been deferred and will be amortized over the life of the
credit agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.25% is charged on the
unused portion of the revolving credit facility on a quarterly basis. At March
31, 1998, borrowings of $47,500 at interest rates varying from 6.5% to 7.25%
were outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which expires October 16, 2002. At
March 31, 1998, a letter of credit of $4,300 was outstanding.

  The Credit Facility is collateralized by receivables, inventories, equipment
and certain real property. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is

   acquisitions, which will be accounted for as purchases, is expected to
   approximate $35 million, excluding earn-out arrangements. Also, options to
   purchase 99,600 shares were granted to management and employees of the
   companies acquired in the April 1998 Class at market prices prevailing at the
   date of grant ($22.188 to $22.50).

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1997

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of
operations of the Company, the January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies, as
if the acquisitions and the IPO occurred on January 1, 1997. The information
does not include financial results of the April 1998 Class.  The pro forma

assets, reduction in salary, bonuses and benefits in connection with the
transactions, anticipated compensation of the Company's management and
associated costs of being a public company, and income taxes.

      The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company's
results of operations actually would have been if such transactions had occurred
on January 1, 1997 and is not necessarily representative of the Company's
results of operations for any future period.  Because the January 1998 Class and
the Founding Companies were not under common control or management, historical
combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future,
performance.
<PAGE>
 
     Net Sales. Net sales increased to $109.0 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $108.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an
increase of $0.5 million or 0.5%. The increase in sales was attributable to an
increased volume of flowers sold during the Valentine's Day holiday primarily at
the companies involved in bouquet manufacturing and distribution. The increased
sales were partially offset by a loss in sales associated with the shift of the
Easter holiday from the first quarter 1997 to the second quarter 1998.

     Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $80.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $80.0 million in the three months ended March 31,
1997, an increase of $0.3 million or 0.4%, primarily as a result of increased
sales. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 73.7% for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 73.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

     Selling General and Administrative.  Selling general and administrative
expenses increased to $21.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of
$1.4 million or 7.0%. The increase is a result of increased selling, commissions
and other costs associated with the increased sales at the companies involved in
bouquet manufacturing and distribution, as well as increased expenses incurred
at the Company.

     Operating Income.  As a result of the factors discussed above, operating
income decreased to $6.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$8.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $1.2
million, or 14.7%.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income decreased to
6.2% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 7.3% in the three months
ended March 31, 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Operating Companies' principal sources of liquidity have historically been
cash flows from operating activities and, to a lesser extent, borrowings.  To
date, approximately $116.2 million has been used to fund the cash portion of the
consideration paid in connection with the Acquisitions, including the April 1998
Class.

     The capital expenditures of the Company for the three months ended March
31, 1998 were approximately $0.6 million. These capital expenditures were
primarily for machinery, office equipment and computers, building additions and
facility upgrades. The Company currently does not have any commitments to make
significant capital expenditures in the next twelve months. Excluding capital
requirements for future acquisitions, if any, which the Company cannot currently
predict, the Company believes that funds generated from operations, together
with borrowings under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to finance its
current operations and planned capital expenditure requirement at least through
1998. To the extent that the Company is successful in consummating future
acquisitions, if any, it may be necessary to finance such acquisitions through
the issuance of additional equity securities, incurrence of indebtedness, or a
combination of both.
