                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Waxman Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of participants' equity of the
Waxman Industries, Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan as of June 30, 1994 and
1993, and the related statements of changes in participants' equity for each of
the three years in the period ended June 30, 1994.  These financial statements
and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the plan
administrator.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the participants' equity of the Plan as of June 30, 1994
and 1993, and the changes in participants' equity for each of the three years
in the period ended June 30, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets held for
investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basis financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.  SUMMARY OF PLAN:

The Waxman Industries, Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the Plan) was
established as of July 1, 1974, and was completely amended and restated
effective July 1, 1984 to comply with the provisions of the Tax Equity and
Fiscal Responsibility Act, the Deficit Reduction Act, the Retirement Equity Act
and various other regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service.  The Plan
was further amended effective July 1, 1988, to, among other things, add
provisions under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).
Certain employees of Waxman Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) are
eligible to participate in the Plan provided they are at least 21 years of age
and have completed one year of service, as defined, with the Company.

The amount of Company contributions made to the Plan is limited by the Code and
is determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Company contributions are allocated to the accounts of participants who have
completed at least 1,000 hours of service, as defined, and are employed by the
Company on the last day of the plan year, on the basis established in Section
4.2 of the Plan.

Participants may make contributions to the Plan by means of an elected salary
deferral (deferral contributions).  Subject to limitations contained in the
Code, participants may defer up to 10% of their pretax compensation, as
defined.

Participants may direct the investment of their deferral contributions.
Investment options include the following:

         stock of the Company.
<PAGE>   11

Fixed Income Fund
- - - -----------------

         The Fixed Income Fund is invested in high-quality bonds with heavy
         emphasis on U.S. Government securities.  The maturity of these
         securities will usually range from five to twelve years.  The Fixed
         Income Fund will be subject to market fluctuations.

Money Market Fund
- - - -----------------

         The Money Market Fund is invested in short-term securities (generally
         under 90-day maturities) such as certificates of deposit, repurchase
         agreements and treasury bills, which preserve capital.  Earnings on
         this fund follow standard money market interest rate patterns.

The Trustee directs the investment of funds from Company contributions.

The Plan provides for the establishment and maintenance of several accounts for
each participant which represent, in total, the participant's equity in the net
assets of the Plan.  The individual participants' accounts shall distinguish
funds attributable to participant deferral contributions and Company
contributions.

Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and investment income of
the Plan are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the accounts of participants at
the end of each quarter.

Participants are at all times fully vested in the value of their various
accounts.

Distributions to terminated participants generally commence at age 60 or
earlier in cases of death or disability.  The form of payment is designated by
the participant.  Earlier distributions of vested benefits may be made for
participants who leave the Company prior to retirement if approved by the
Executive Committee of the Plan.  Under certain conditions, as indicated in
Section 9.11 of the Plan, the Executive Committee may permit participants to
withdraw a portion of their Company contribution and/or participant deferral
contribution.

The Plan is administered by the Company acting through its Board of Directors
and Executive Committee.  The Executive Committee is composed of three members
who are selected by the Chairman of the Board of the Company.  The Company may
amend or terminate the Plan at its discretion, subject to applicable Internal
Revenue Service regulations.  The rights of all participants to benefits
accrued prior to any such termination are nonforfeitable.

                                      -2-

The Plan's Trustee is National City Bank.  The Trustee maintains all records of
investment transactions and determines the valuation of the investment
portfolio.

accounting.

Contributions due from the Company are accrued as of the end of the fiscal
year. Employee contributions were $112,485 $108,300 and $108,229 for the plan 
years ended June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Administrative Expenses
- - - -----------------------

Fees of the Trustee, legal counsel and auditors of the Plan are paid by the
Company and thus are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Investments
- - - -----------

Investments are stated at the current market value.  Changes in the current
market value are reflected in the statement of changes in participants' equity
as they occur.  Realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments are based
on the market value of the investments at the beginning of the plan year or
initial cost if purchased during the year.

    ---------------------

The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service dated January 16, 1990.  A qualified plan is entitled to an
exemption under the provisions of the Code, and thus no provision for federal
income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.  Annually,
information tax returns are prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue
Service.
