                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (INFORMATION AS AT MARCH 31, 1998 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS
                  ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 ARE UNAUDITED)

1.   GENERAL

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
     accounts of Wyant Corporation (formerly Hosposable Products, Inc.) and its
     wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bridgewater Manufacturing Corp., IFC
     Disposables, Inc. and Wood Wyant Inc. They have been prepared in
     accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
     States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
     10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
     all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion
     of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain
     all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered
     necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1998,
     the results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity
     for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.  For further
     information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included
     in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1997.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     On March 18, 1997 the Corporation, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Wood
     Wyant Inc., purchased the Canadian operations of G.H. Wood + Wyant Inc.
     for [i] cash consideration of Cdn $5,000,000 [US $3,667,033], [ii] a 
     promissory note [" the Note"] in the amount of Cdn $4,068,951 
     [US $2,961,606] having a fair value of US $2,798,794, [iii] 
     3,800,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock of Wood Wyant Inc. having a 
     liquidation preference of Cdn $3,800,000 [US $2,765,849] and a fair value 
     of US $2,267,900, and  [iv] 1,000,000 shares of Class E Preferred Stock of 
     Wood Wyant Inc. having a liquidation preference per share of one share of 
     Wyant Corporation Common Stock. The fair value of Class E Preferred shares 
     at March 18, 1997 was US $5,000,000. These Class E Preferred shares are 
     recorded at par value of $10,000 in Wyant Corporation Common Stock and 
     $4,990,000 in additional paid-in capital.  Each Class E Preferred share is 
     exchangeable by the holder at any time for one share of Wyant Corporation 
     Common Stock.

     The transaction represents a combination of entities under common control
     and has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
     Accordingly, the comparative figures in these financial statements
     retroactively reflect the financial information of the combined entities.
     The excess of the fair value of the consideration paid of US $13,733,727
     over the book value of the net assets acquired of US $8,638,875 [Cdn
     $11,868,951] is considered a deemed dividend for accounting purposes,
     which reduces the additional paid-in capital by US $5,094,852. The Note,
     which yielded interest at 6% per annum, was exchanged on August 29, 1997
     for shares of Class A Preferred Stock of Wood Wyant Inc. on the basis of
     one share for each Cdn $1.00 of unpaid principal amount of the Note.

     The Class A and B preferred shares entitle holders to fixed cumulative
     preferential dividends at the rate of 4% and 3.999999%, respectively, of
     their redemption price of $1.00 Cdn per share and are mandatorily
     redeemable in ten consecutive annual tranches, each equal to 10% of their
     combined redemption value, commencing on January 3, 1998.  No Class B
     Preferred shares shall be redeemed until all Class A Preferred shares have
     been redeemed.  The Class E Preferred shares entitle holders to receive
     dividends on a pro-rata basis equivalent to dividends declared to the
     Corporation's common stockholders.

     Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 have been
     restated to reflect retroactively the implementation in the fourth quarter
     of 1997 of FAS 128 - Earnings per share - and the inclusion of the
     1,333,333 Class E Preferred shares of Wood Wyant Inc., which are
     exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for common shares of the Corporation,
     in the average number of shares outstanding used to compute both basic and
     diluted earnings per share.

     Also, the number of shares and earnings per share reported for both periods
     have been amended to reflect a four-for-three stock split effected in the
     form of a stock dividend, which was announced on March 27, 1998 and is to
     be paid on May 21, 1998.

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On April 30, 1998, Wood Wyant Inc. acquired all of the outstanding shares
     of H.A. Perigord Company Limited, a leading provider of sanitation products
     and services to the commercial and institutional markets of Northern
     Ontario.


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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item I of this
quarterly report, and the financial statements and the notes thereto and
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

SALES
- -----

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased by $1,845,644 to
$23,975,242 from the total of $22,129,598 in the first quarter of 1997, after
eliminating inter-segment sales, which amounted to $2,282,990 in the current
quarter, compared with $1,183,838 in the first quarter of 1997. Sales of the
sanitation products segment were $12,332,953, down by $680,359 or 5.2% as a
result of the negative impact of a weaker Canadian dollar translation rate and
lower selling prices for paper products. In the health care products segment
sales were $9,787,185, up by $2,718,966 or 38.5% from the level in the first
quarter of 1997. This resulted primarily from the additional sales of
Symphony (R) and private label adult incontinent briefs, which were introduced
late in the first quarter of 1997. Sales of the wiping products segment at
$4,138,094 were $906,189 or 28.0% higher than in the first quarter of 1997 due
to a significant increase in sales of paper products and systems.

COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
- ------------------------------
Gross profit of the sanitation products segment decreased to 38% of sales from
40% in the first quarter of 1997, reflecting the lower selling prices for paper
products. In the health care products segment, gross profit improved to 20% of
sales from 12% in the same quarter last year, due to the favorable impact of the
higher sales volume and to manufacturing efficiencies. Gross profit of the
wiping products segment declined from 20% in the first quarter of 1997 to 17% in
the current quarter. The lower margin was the result of a significant increase
in sales of paper products, which generate lower margins than the segment's
other product lines.

SELLING EXPENSES
- ----------------

Selling expenses for the first quarter of 1998 at $3,789,378 were $59,905 or
1.6% lower than in the corresponding period last year. In the sanitation
products segment, selling expenses at $2,498,696 were $84,273 lower than in the
first quarter of 1997, as the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate
more than offset an increase of 1.8% in expenses. Selling expenses of the health
care products segment decreased by $44,708 to $782,438 in the first quarter of
1998, as an increase of $115,281 in outward freight costs brought about by the
significantly higher level of sales was more than offset by lower expenses
resulting from cost reduction programs. In the wiping products segment, selling
expenses in the first quarter of 1998 rose by $69,060 to $508,244, reflecting an
increase of $53,665 in outward freight charges caused by the higher sales
volume.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
General and administration expenses declined by $546,970 or 18.8% to $2,362,205
in the first quarter of 1998.  Expenses of the sanitation products segment at
$1,627,228 were $418,487 lower than in the corresponding period last year.  The
savings resulted primarily from reduced staffing costs, lower rent charges due
to the consolidation of warehousing facilities at a Company-owned facility and
the weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.  In the health care products segment,
expenses for the current quarter at $624,077 were $125,505 lower than in the
same quarter in 1997, due to the benefits realized from expense reduction
programs implemented during 1997, primarily relating to lower staffing levels.
Expenses of the wiping products segment at $110,900 were $2,978 lower in the
current quarter.

AMORTIZATION
- ------------
Amortization of $120,552 was $5,891 lower than in the first quarter of 1997 due
to the relatively low level of capital spending in 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------
Interest expense increased by $168,672 to $341,740 in the first quarter of 1998,
primarily due to the cost of the increased borrowing incurred to finance the
acquisition of the Canadian operations of G.H. Wood + Wyant Inc.

OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Other income declined by $66,383 to $82,926 in the current quarter, as a result
of reduced foreign exchange gains in Wood Wyant Inc. and lower interest income.

INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE TAX
- ------------------------

Income before tax of $828,974 was generated in the first quarter of 1998,
compared with a loss before tax of $212,485 in the first quarter of 1997.  The
change resulted from the improvement in the health care products segment
($1,116,545) and wiping products segment ($2,769), partially offset by a
reduction of $77,855 in the sanitation products segment.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Income taxes in the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $319,000, compared with a
net tax recovery of $36,000 in the first quarter of 1997, reflecting the
Company's improved results.

NET INCOME (LOSS)
- -----------------
Net income for the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $509,974 or $0.12 per
common share, compared with a net loss of $176,485 or $0.05 per common share in
the corresponding period last year. The earnings per share of both periods give
full effect to the 1,333,333 Class E Preferred shares of Wood Wyant Inc. which
are exchangeable for common shares of Wyant Corporation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Liquidity and capital resources of the Company's United States operation - the
Wyant Health Care division and IFC Disposables, Inc. - are discussed together,
while the Canadian operations - Wood Wyant Inc. - are discussed separately as
each is self-financing and has separate banking facilities.

CANADIAN OPERATIONS
- -------------------
The Canadian Operations generated $258,301 of cash during the first quarter of
1998.  Cash from operations amounted to $951,523, including a net reduction of
$507,293 in working capital. This included a reduction in accounts receivable
of $441,468, as collections returned to normal levels following a postal strike
in late-1997, and in inventories of $347,478. Income taxes payable decreased
by $357,286 during the period, while accounts payable increased by $90,181.
Capital expenditures totalled $157,784 in the first quarter of 1998.  New debt
raised during the quarter from an existing facility to finance capital spending
amounted to $197,671, while repayments of long-term debt amounted to $100,560.
In addition, $550,122 of outstanding Class A Preferred shares were redeemed in
January 1998 and dividends of $49,511 were paid on the Class A and Class B
Preferred shares. As at March 31, 1998 approximately $2,300,000 was available
on the Company's secured revolving line of credit of $4,215,259 (Cdn
$6,000,000). An additional amount of approximately $960,000 was available to
finance future capital expenditures under a revolving credit facility of
$2,107,630 (Cdn $3,000,000).

Management believes that future operating cash flows and the unused
availability under existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its
ongoing operating cash requirements, to repay the term debt as it becomes due
and to meet cash requirements for capital asset additions.

U.S. OPERATIONS
- ---------------
A total of $233,818 of cash was utilized during the first quarter of 1998.
Operating activities utilized $482,223 of cash, due to a net increase in
working capital of $1,037,419 brought about primarily by increases of
$1,117,434 in accounts receivable and $241,599 in inventories, partially
offset by an increase of $338,352 in accounts payable. The higher receivables
reflected for the most part increased business activity. Capital expenditures
totalled $52,740 during the current quarter. $100,101 was obtained from the
acquisition escrow fund, with an additional $221,043 drawn on the Company's
revolving credit facility.  As at March 31, 1998, additional borrowing of
approximately $1,986,000 was available under this facility.

Management believes that future operating cash flows and the unused
availability under existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its
ongoing operating cash requirements, to repay the term debt as it becomes due
and to meet cash requirements for capital asset additions.
