                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

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

We have audited the accompanying statements of participants' equity, including
the schedule of assets held for investment purposes, of the Waxman Industries,
Inc. Profit Sharing and 401(K) Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of June 30, 1995
and 1994, and the related statements of changes in participants' equity for each
of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the plan administrator. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements 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, 1995
and 1994, and the changes in participants' equity for each of the three years in
the period ended June 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed 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 the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
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 fund information in the
statements of participants' equity and the statements of changes in
participants' equity is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the participants' equity and changes in participants' equity of
each

fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits 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.

As explained in Note 2, information certified by the trustee and presented in
the schedules of assets held for investment purposes and certain reportable
transactions does not disclose the historical cost of the investments.
Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor's Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.

December 1, 1995.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          JUNE 30, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

1.  SUMMARY OF PLAN:

General

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 applicable law. The Plan was also amended
effective July 1, 1988, to, among other things, add provisions under Section
401(K) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Effective July 1, 1989 the Plan
was again amended and restated to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and
other subsequent applicable legislation. Effective April 1, 1994, all of Waxman
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries' (the Company) U.S. operations, except Medal
Distributing, were added to the Plan. Medal's non-union employees were added to
the Plan effective July 1, 1994.

Effective July 1, 1994, the Plan's name was changed to the Waxman Industries,
Inc. Profit Sharing and 401(K) Retirement Plan. Effective October 1, 1994, the
Plan's trustee and the recordkeeper disbursement agent and investor of the Plan
were changed from National City Bank to Connecticut General Life Insurance
Company (CIGNA). Plan assets were transferred to CIGNA on October 3, 1994.

The above brief description is provided for general informational purposes only.
Refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan.

Plan Eligibility

Certain employees of 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 with the Company, as defined in the plan agreement.

Employee and Employer Contributions

Effective October 1, 1994, participants may defer up to 15% of their
pretax compensation by making contributions to the Plan, subject to
certain Code limitations.  Prior to October 1, 1994, participants were
able to defer up to 10% of their pretax compensation.  Also,

                                       -1-

participants may direct the investment of their post September 1994
contributions to thirteen investment options. Participants have the option to
transfer cumulative balances, except those relating to prior Company
contributions, between investment options.

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company may make discretionary matching
contributions to the Plan of $.50 per every $1.00 contributed by the participant
with the maximum Company match being 4% of the participants' compensation. 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.
Participants may direct the investment of the Company's year-end contributions
beginning with the contribution for the 1994 fiscal year. Company contributions
are allocated to the accounts of eligible participants on a monthly basis, as
established in Section 4.2 of the Plan. For the plan year beginning July 1,
1995, the Company has determined that it will not contribute to the Plan.

Investment options as of June 30, 1995 include the following:

Fidelity Contrafund

         The Fidelity Contrafund is invested primarily in common stock and
         securities convertible into common stocks of both domestic and foreign

         conditions.

         specific time period based on the participant's approximate age. Each
         fund primarily is invested in a diversified mix of stock and bond
         funds, designed to fit the time horizons and risk tolerances of
         investors at different stages of their lives.

         securities usually ranged from five to twelve years.

Money Market Fund

         The Money Market Fund was invested in short-term securities (generally

         agreements and treasury bills, which preserve capital. Earnings on this
         fund followed standard money market interest rate patterns.

The Plan provides for the establishment and maintenance of several accounts for
each participant which represent, in total, the participants' equity in the net
assets of the Plan. The individual participants' accounts shall distinguish
funds attributable to participant deferral contributions and Company
contributions. Participants are immediately vested in the value of their
contributions. Participants are vested in Company contributions ratably over
five years of service and fully vest after five years of service.

Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and market value changes of
investments and investment income of the Plan are allocated on a pro-rata basis
to the accounts of participants on a daily basis.

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 plan
administrator. Under certain conditions, as indicated in Section 9.1 of the
Plan, the plan administrator 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.
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.

The Plan's trustee maintains all records of investment transactions and
determines the valuation of the investment portfolio.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Investments

The accompanying statements of participants' equity reflect investments at their
market values as of June 30, 1995 and 1994. The Plan's trustee maintains
all records of investment transactions and determines the valuation of the
investment portfolio. Information with respect to: (1) investments held and
their market values as presented in the statements of participants' equity and
(2) unrealized appreciation and depreciation as presented in the statements of
changes in participants' equity has been certified by the Plan's trustee as
being complete and accurate.

The records of Plan's new trustee (CIGNA) are based solely on market value.

4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on January 16, 1990, in which
the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in

the amended and restated Plan. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is
currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code. Therefore, the plan administrator believes  that 
the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of June 30,
1995. Accordingly, income taxes have not been provided in the accompanying
financial statements. Annually, informational returns are prepared and filed
with the Internal Revenue Service.

5.       PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS:

There were no prohibited transactions with a party in interest, as defined by
ERISA.

6.       REPORTABLE TRANSACTIONS:

Schedule II summarizes the Plan's reportable transactions for the year ended
June 30, 1995. As defined, a reportable transaction is a transaction or
accumulation of transactions in one security in amounts in excess of 5% of the
market value of the Plan's assets at the beginning of the plan year.
