                    WINDMERE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
          consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
          (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
          present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1995 and
          1994, and the results of operations and changes in financial
          position for the interim period.  Results for interim periods
          should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. 
          Reference should be made to the financial statements contained
          in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
          ended December 31, 1994.

Note 2.   Investments include:

          The Company's joint venture investment at March 31, 1995,
          December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1994 had negative values of
          approximately $.4 million, which deficits have been classified
          as reductions in Receivables from Affiliates.

          The following table provides financial data for the Company's 
          joint venture investment accounted for on the equity method:

          Note:  Profits earned by the Company's manufacturing subsidiary
          on sales to the joint venture are included in the consolidated
          earnings results and are not part of the above table.

Note 3.   Prepaid Expenses:  The Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department is
          auditing the tax returns of most of the  Company's consolidated
          Hong Kong subsidiaries through 1991, and has proposed increases
          in income taxes aggregating approximately $5,600,000, which
          proposed amount, or any of it which is ultimately determined to
          be due, may be reduced by U.S. foreign tax credits.  Inland
          Revenue has required that cash deposits of approximately
          $4,800,000 be made pending the resolution of the issues, which
          amounts are included in prepaid expenses.  The Company has been
          advised it has defensible positions in connection with the
          issues under discussion and intends to vigorously contest the
          proposed tax increases.  Management believes that adequate
          provision for taxes has been made for the years under
          examination and those not yet examined.


Note 4.   Cash Dividends:  The Board of Directors of the Company declared
          a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.05 per share to
          shareholders of record at the close of business on March 1,
          1995, which was paid on March 15, 1995.  

          The payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Board
          of Directors of the Company and will depend upon, among other
          things, future earnings, capital requirements, the Company's
          financial condition and such other factors as the Board of
          Directors may consider.

Note 5.   On April 26, 1994, Kabushiki Kaisha Izumi Seiki Seisakusho, a
          Japanese corporation ("Izumi"), filed an action against the
          Company, David M. Friedson, the President and Chief Executive
          Officer of the Company, U.S. Philips Corporation, North American
          Philips Corporation and N.V. Philips Gloellampenfabrieken
          (together, "Philips").  This action concerns the 1992 settlement
          (the "Philips Settlement") of certain claims, primarily a
          Federal antitrust claim, made by the Company against Philips,
          which resulted in an $89,644,257 judgment in favor of the
          Company.  Pursuant to the Philips Settlement, Philips paid the
          Company $57,000,000 in May 1992.  As part of the Philips
          Settlement, the Company and Philips agreed that the Company's
          money judgment against Philips in connection with such antitrust
          litigation would be vacated.  Izumi is claiming, among other
          things, that the Philips Settlement, including the agreement
          with Philips to cooperate to vacate the related judgment in
          favor of the Company, constitutes a breach by the Company of a
          customary indemnification agreement between Izumi (as seller of
          goods) and the Company (as buyer of goods) dated February 20,
          1984.  This indemnification agreement covered certain claims
          against the Company and was entered into more than eight months
          prior to the commencement of the Philips litigation in
          connection with the routine purchase by the Company of goods
          from Izumi.  Izumi advanced certain legal fees and costs to the
          Company in connection with the Philips litigation.  Izumi is
          further claiming that it is entitled to recover from the Company
          an unspecified portion of the Philips Settlement, punitive
          damages and reimbursement of litigation and other related costs
          and expenses.  The Company disagrees with Izumi's position and
          believes that it has meritorious defenses and counterclaims to
          these claims by Izumi.  The Company has filed a pre-answer 
          motion to dismiss Izumi's complaint in full, the final decision
          on which is pending.  The Company intends to defend this action
          fully and vigorously.


                                                                      

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared to
  Three Months Ended March 31, 1994

Net sales were $37.9 million during the first quarter, a 21.6% increase
from the $31.2 million recorded for the same period last year. 
Manufacturing sales were $2.9 million higher due to increased shipments of
kitchen electric appliances.  The Company's distribution businesses had a
sales increase of $3.8 million on higher unit shipments of its core
personal care product lines, including hair care appliances sold under the
Helene Curtis Salon Selectives brand name.  Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted
for 15.6% of the Company's total sales during this year's first quarter.
  
                                    COMPARATIVE SALES RESULTS
                                        Three Months Ended

                              March 31, 1995           March 31, 1994

DISTRIBUTION             $ 31,448,400    82.9%   $ 27,657,300   88.7%
MANUFACTURING               6,481,700    17.1       3,534,300   11.3
  Total Sales            $ 37,930,100   100.0%   $ 31,191,600  100.0%

The Company's gross margin percentage declined in the current year's first
quarter to 26.9% of sales from the 29.1% level achieved last year primarily
due to the higher cost of raw materials, a condition that has negatively
affected gross margins since the third quarter of 1994.  The higher costs
of raw materials have continued into the second quarter of 1995.  A higher
percentage of manufacturing sales in the first quarter of 1995 compared to
the same quarter a year ago also contributed to the lower gross profit
margins.
     
Although selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $9.1
million in the first quarter of 1994 to $10.1 million in the current year's
first quarter, these expenses decreased by 2.5% as a percentage of sales
primarily as a result of a higher level of sales in the current quarter.

The Company's tax expense is based on the earnings of each of its foreign
and domestic operations and it includes such additional U.S. taxes as are
applicable to the repatriation of foreign earnings.  Offshore earnings
generally are taxed at rates lower than in the United States.

The average number of common shares and common equivalent shares used in
computing per share results was higher in 1995 primarily as a result of the
1,000,000 shares issued on April 1, 1994 to acquire the 20% minority
interest in Durable.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

At March 31, 1995, the Company's current ratio and quick ratio were 8.6 to
1 and 3.9 to 1 and at March 31, 1994, they were 6.8 to 1 and 3.6 to 1,
respectively.  Working capital at March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $128.7
million and $118.5 million, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1995 are approximately $.3 million
higher than the December 31, 1994 level.  Cash of $11.6 million was
generated from lower affiliate and accounts receivable balances.  The
Company utilized approximately $10.1 million of cash during the quarter to
build inventory, acquire fixed assets and to decrease accounts payable. 
The Company purchased 24,200 shares of its common stock for retirement
during this year's first quarter, at a cost of $.2 million.  In addition,
cash dividends of $.8 million were paid to shareholders.  

A foreign bank provides a $3.9 million line of credit, payable on demand,
to certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries (the "subsidiaries"), 
secured primarily by the subsidiaries' tangible and intangible property
located in Hong Kong and in the People's Republic of China.  In addition,
should the subsidiaries default in their obligations, the Company has
guaranteed the payment of this debt.  At March 31, 1995, the subsidiaries
were utilizing, including letters of credit, approximately $2.2 million of
this credit line, leaving an additional funding capacity of $1.7 million. 

The Company has a $10.0 million demand line of credit from a domestic bank,
which is secured by domestic accounts receivable.  The Company has had no
borrowings under this facility.

No provisions for U.S. taxes has been made on undistributed earnings of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures because management plans
to reinvest such earnings in their respective operations or in other
foreign operations.  Repatriating those earnings or using them in some
other manner which would give rise to a U.S. tax liability would reduce
after tax earnings and available working capital.

The Company believes that its cash on hand and internally generated funds,
together with its credit lines, will provide sufficient funding to meet the
Company's capital requirements and its operating needs for the foreseeable
future.

Legal Proceedings

On April 26, 1994, Kabushiki Kaisha Izumi Seiki Seisakusho, a Japanese
corporation ("Izumi"), filed an action against the Company, David M.
Friedson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, U.S.
Philips Corporation, North American Philips Corporation and N.V. Philips
Gloellampenfabrieken (together, "Philips").  This action concerns the 1992
settlement (the "Philips Settlement") of certain claims, primarily a
Federal antitrust claim, made by the Company against Philips, which
resulted in an $89,644,257 judgment in favor of the Company.  Pursuant to
the Philips Settlement, Philips paid the Company $57,000,000 in May 1992. 
As part of the Philips Settlement, the Company and Philips agreed that the
Company's money judgment against Philips in connection with such antitrust
litigation would be vacated.  Izumi is claiming, among other things, that
the Philips Settlement, including the agreement with Philips to cooperate
to vacate the related judgment in favor of the Company, constitutes a
breach by the Company of a customary indemnification agreement between
Izumi (as seller of goods) and the Company (as buyer of goods) dated
February 20, 1984.  This indemnification agreement covered certain claims
against the Company and was entered into more than eight months prior to
the commencement of the Philips litigation in connection with the routine
purchase by the Company of goods from Izumi.  Izumi advanced certain legal
fees and costs to the Company in connection with the Philips litigation. 
Izumi is further claiming that it is entitled to recover from the Company
an unspecified portion of the Philips Settlement, punitive damages and
reimbursement of litigation and other related costs and expenses.  The
Company disagrees with Izumi's position and believes that it has
meritorious defenses and counterclaims to these claims by Izumi.  The
Company has filed a pre-answer motion to dismiss Izumi's complaint in full,
the final decision on which is pending.  The Company intends to defend this
action fully and vigorously.

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims which arise
in the ordinary course of its business.  In the opinion of management, the
amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will
not materially affect the financial position of the Company.

Manufacturing Operations

The Company's products are primarily manufactured by Durable, its wholly-
owned Hong Kong subsidiary, in Bao An County, Guandong Province of the
People's Republic of China, which is approximately 60 miles northwest of
central Hong Kong.  The Company has a significant amount of its assets in
the People's Republic, primarily consisting of inventory, equipment and
molds.  Substantially all of the Company's products are manufactured by
Durable and unrelated factories in the People's Republic.  Approximately
85% to 90% of the Company's products are manufactured by Durable.  The
supply and cost of these products can be adversely affected, among other
reasons, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, increased import
duties, imposition of tariffs, imposition of import quotas, interruptions
in sea or air transportation and political or economic changes.  From time
to time, the Company explores opportunities to diversify its sourcing
and/or production of certain products to other low-cost locations or with
other third parties or joint venture partners in order to reduce its
dependence on production in the People's Republic and/or reduce Durable's
dependence on the Company's existing distribution base.  However, at the
present time, the Company intends to continue its production in the
People's Republic.

In June 1989, the People's Republic experienced civil disturbances and,
although such disturbances have dissipated since that time, there continues
to be pressure for political reform.  No assurance can be given, however,
that civil disturbances will not recur.  If it becomes necessary to
relocate the Company's manufacturing facilities from the People's Republic
as a result of civil disturbances in that country or otherwise, the Company
believes the production currently conducted in the People's Republic could
be relocated to other Far East locations, including Hong Kong, or other
low-cost manufacturing locations, with only temporary disruption and delay
in such production and possible short-term operating and capital losses,
provided that the Company is able to move substantially all of its
manufacturing equipment and other assets currently in the People's Republic
to another location.  If the Company is unable to remove such assets, due
to confiscation, expropriation, nationalization, embargoes or governmental
restrictions, it would incur substantial operating and capital losses,
including losses resulting from business disruption and delays in
production.  In addition, as a result of a relocation of its manufacturing
equipment and certain other assets, the Company would likely incur
relatively higher manufacturing costs.  A relocation could also adversely
affect the Company's revenues if the demand for the Company's products
currently manufactured in the People's Republic decreases due to a
disruption in the production and delivery of such products or due to higher
prices which might result from increased manufacturing costs.  Furthermore,
earnings could be adversely affected due to reduced sales and/or the
Company's inability to maintain its current margins on the products
currently manufactured in the People's Republic.
