WYANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION AS AT JUNE 30, 1998 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 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. and its subsidiaries (note 6). 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 June 30, 1998, the results of operations for the
six months and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows
and changes in stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 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 additizonal 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 both the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 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 for all periods reported
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 paid
on May 21, 1998.
6. PURCHASE OF BUSINESSES
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Wood Wyant Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of the
following companies:

<PAGE> 10
6. PURCHASE OF BUSINESSES (Cont'd)
Fraser Valley Industrial Chemicals Inc. is a manufacturer of sanitary
chemical products. All of the other acquired companies are distributors of
sanitation products. The acquisitions have been accounted for under the
purchase method. Financial results of the companies are included in the
Company's consolidated statement of operations from the respective dates of
acquisition.
The cost of purchase of the above companies totalled $5,723,326, including
expenses related to the transactions but excluding cash acquired. This was
financed by the issue of 283,111 Class F Preferred shares of Wood Wyant
Inc., with a fair value of $1,861,876 at the respective transaction dates,
with the balance paid in cash. The cash portion was financed by term bank
loans, from which $3,525,440 had been drawn at June 30, 1998. The Class F
Preferred shares are exchangeable at any time for common shares of Wyant
Corporation on a one-for-one basis, and in addition holders have a one-time
option in July 2000 to retract all of the Class F shares at Cdn. $15.00 per
share, payable in five equal annual tranches commencing August 3, 2000,
with dividends at 3.5% per annum payable monthly from July 1, 2000 if the
option is exercised.

30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, assuming consummation of the transactions as of

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.
The following information includes forward-looking statements (within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties that may influence the financial performance
and earnings of the Company, and may cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward looking statements, including, but not limited to,
factors such as the ability of the Company to successfully integrate the
business and personnel of various acquired businesses into its operations, the
ability to maintain existing customer relationships and to secure new customers
on satisfactory terms, whether by contract or otherwise, the effect of exchange
rate fluctuations and the effect of competitive and general economic conditions.
Such forward looking statements, which reflect the Company's current views with
respect to certain future events and financial performance, should be considered
in light of such factors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
SALES
- -----
Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased by $155,065 to
$24,203,549, compared with $24,048,484 in the second quarter of 1997, after
eliminating inter-segment sales which totalled $2,470,778 in the current
quarter, compared with $2,243,680 in the same quarter last year. Sales of the
sanitation products segment were $13,019,912, a decrease of $1,253,511 or 8.8%
from the second quarter of 1997 due principally to the negative impact of a
weaker Canadian dollar translation rate, lower selling prices for paper products
and reduced sales of all other product lines, which more than offset the added
sales of $607,830 from H.A. Perigord Company Limited, which was acquired on
April 30, 1998. Sales of the health care products segment at $9,612,208 were
$1,539,085 or 19.1% higher than in the corresponding quarter of 1997 due to
increased sales of Symphony(R) and private label adult incontinent briefs. Sales
of the wiping products segment at $4,042,207 were 2.4% higher than the sales of
$3,945,618 in the second quarter of 1997.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
- ------------------------------
Gross profit of the sanitation products segment at 40% of sales was unchanged
from the second quarter of 1997. In the health care products segment, gross
profit was 20% of sales compared with 12% of sales in the second quarter of last
year, reflecting the favorable impact of the higher sales volume and
manufacturing efficiencies in the current quarter, while the second quarter of
1997 was adversely impacted by start-up expenses for the new adult brief line.
Gross profit of the wiping products segment decreased to 17% of sales, compared
with 18% in the corresponding quarter of 1997, due to the impact of increased
sales of paper products which have relatively lower margins.
SELLING EXPENSES
- ----------------
Selling expenses for the second quarter of 1998 at $3,806,291 were $23,340 or
0.6% higher than in the same period last year. In the sanitation products
segment, selling expenses amounted to $2,467,948, a reduction of $102,581 from
the second quarter of 1997, as the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar
translation rate and a 2.6% reduction in expenses of the ongoing business more
than offset the selling expenses of the newly-acquired H.A. Perigord business.
Selling expenses of the health care products segment increased by $100,855 to
$802,602 in the second quarter of 1998, due to an increase of $125,327 in
outward freight costs resulting from the higher level of sales. In the wiping
products segment, selling expenses were $535,741 in the second quarter of 1998,
an increase of $25,081 over the second quarter last year, which was for the most
part due to an increase of $21,690 in outward freight costs caused by a higher
number of customers in more distant market areas.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
General and administration expenses for the second quarter of 1998 at $2,390,567
were $971,660 or 28.9% lower than in the corresponding quarter of 1997. In the
sanitation products segment, expenses at $1,703,246 were $309,971 lower than in
the second quarter of 1997, despite the additional expenses of $127,685
resulting from the inclusion of the H.A. Perigord operations. The savings were
primarily the result of reduced staffing costs, lower rent charges due to the
consolidation of warehousing activities at a Company-owned facility and the
weaker Canadian dollar translation rate. In the health care products segment,
expenses for the current quarter at $566,704 were $669,003 lower than in the
same quarter last year, when non-recurring charges of $427,000 were incurred for
severance costs and professional fees incurred in relation to the restructuring
of the health care operations. Expenses were lower in the current quarter also
as a result of lower staffing levels due to expense reduction programs
implemented during 1997. Expenses of the wiping products segment at $120,617
were $7,314 higher than in the second quarter of 1997.
12
<PAGE> 13
AMORTIZATION
- ------------
Amortization was $139,167 in the second quarter of 1998, an increase of $14,705
over the second quarter of last year, primarily due to inclusion of the H.A.
Perigord acquisition in the current quarter and higher capital spending.
INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------
Interest expense increased by $66,138 to $364,369 in the second quarter of 1998
due primarily to the increased level and cost of borrowing in the health care
products segment.
OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Other income at $10,507 decreased by $60,160 in the current quarter due to a
lower level of foreign exchange gains in Wood Wyant Inc.
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE TAX
- ------------------------
Income before tax in the second quarter amounted to $1,221,797, compared with a
loss before tax of $93,402 in the second quarter of 1997. The change resulted
from the improvement in the health care products segment ($1,413,721), partially
offset by lower income before tax in the sanitation products ($40,693) and
wiping products ($57,829) segments.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Income taxes for the second quarter of 1998 were $491,000, compared with
$136,000 in the second quarter last year. This reflected the improved results in
the current quarter and the Company's inability to tax-effect approximately
$224,000 of losses in the second quarter of 1997.
NET INCOME (LOSS)
- -----------------
Net income for the second quarter of 1998 amounted to $730,797 or $0.18 per
common share, compared with a net loss of $229,402 or $0.08 per common share in
the second quarter of 1997. 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 on a one-for-one basis for common shares of Wyant Corporation and
to the four-for-three stock split effected on May 21, 1998.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
SALES
- -----
Sales for the first half of 1998 at $48,178,791 were $2,000,709 higher than in
the first half of 1997, after eliminating inter-segment sales of $4,753,768 in
the current period compared with $3,427,518 in the same period last year. Sales
of the sanitation products segment were $25,352,865, down by $1,933,870 or 7.1%,
primarily as a result of the negative impact of a weaker Canadian dollar
translation rate and lower selling prices for paper products, more than
offsetting the added sales in the current period resulting from the H.A.
Perigord acquisition. In the health care products segment, sales were
$19,399,393, an increase of $4,258,051 or 28.1% over the sales for the first
half of 1997. This increase was attributable to the higher sales of Symphony(R)
and private label adult incontinent briefs, which were introduced during the
first half of 1997. Sales of the wiping products segment at $8,180,301 were
$1,002,778 or 14.0% higher than in the corresponding period last year due to a
significant increase in sales of paper products and systems.
13
<PAGE> 14
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
- ------------------------------
In the sanitation products segment, gross profit as a percentage of sales
declined from 40% to 39% in the first half of 1998 due to lower selling prices
for paper products. Gross profit of the health care products segment increased
to 20% of sales, from 12% in the six months ended June 30, 1997, due to higher
sales volume and manufacturing efficiencies in the current period, while the
start-up expenses incurred in the first half of 1997 for the new adult brief
line adversely affected results for the corresponding period of 1997. In the
wiping products segment, gross profit declined to 17% of sales from 19% in the
first half of last year, reflecting the impact of higher sales of paper products
in the current year, with lower margins than the segment's other product lines.
SELLING EXPENSES
- ----------------
Selling expenses for the first six months of 1998 totalled $7,595,669, a
reduction of $36,565 from the first half of 1997. In the sanitation products
segment, selling expenses at $4,966,644 were $186,854 lower than in the same
period last year, as the favorable effect of the weaker Canadian dollar
translation rate in the current year more than offset the increase in expenses
resulting from the H.A. Perigord acquisition. Selling expenses of the health
care products segment increased by $56,147 to $1,585,040 in the first half of
1998. An increase of $240,608 in outward freight costs due to the higher level
of sales was largely offset by lower expenses resulting from cost reduction
programs. In the wiping products segment, selling expenses increased by $94,141
to $1,043,985 in the current period, primarily due to an increase of $75,354 in
outward freight costs brought about by the higher sales volume.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
General and administration expenses declined by $1,518,630 or 24.2% to
$4,752,772 in the first half of 1998. Expenses of the sanitation products
segment at $3,330,474 were $728,458 lower than in the corresponding period last
year. The reduced costs reflected lower staffing levels, rent savings due to
the consolidation of warehousing activities at a Company-owned facility and the
favorable impact of the weaker Canadian dollar translation rate. In the health
care products segment, expenses declined by $794,508 to $1,190,781 in the first
half of 1998, due to lower staffing costs resulting from cost reduction programs
implemented in 1997 and to non-recurring charges of $427,000 for severance costs
and professional fees which were incurred in the first half of 1997. Expenses
of the wiping products segment increased slightly to $231,517 from $227,181 in
the first half of 1997.
AMORTIZATION
- ------------
Amortization increased by $8,814 to $259,719 in the first half of 1998,
primarily due to the inclusion of the H.A. Perigord acquisition in the current
period and increased capital spending.
INTEREST EXPENSE
- -----------------
Interest expense increased to $706,109 from $471,299 in the first half of 1997.
The increase resulted from the cost of increased borrowing incurred to finance
the purchase of the Wood Wyant Inc. assets in March 1997 and the shares of H.A.
Perigord Company Limited in April 1998, together with the higher cost of
borrowing in the U.S. operations.
OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Other income decreased by $126,543 in the first half of 1998 to $93,433, due to
lower interest income and reduced foreign exchange gains.
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE TAX
- ------------------------
Income before tax was $2,050,771 for the first half of 1998, compared with a
pre-tax loss of $305,887 in the same period last year. The improved results in
the health care segment contributed $2,530,266, but this was partially offset by
lower pre-tax income in the sanitation products ($118,548) and wiping products
($55,060) segments.
14
<PAGE> 15
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Income tax expense for the first half of 1998 was $810,000, compared with
$100,000 for the corresponding period of 1997. The increase was due to the
improved results in the current period and to approximately $224,000 of losses
in the first half of 1997 which could not be tax-effected at that time.
NET INCOME (LOSS)
- ------------------
Net income amounted to $1,240,771 or $0.30 per common share in the first half
of 1998, compared with a net loss of $405,887 or $0.13 per common share in the
same 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 on a one-for-one basis for common shares of Wyant Corporation and
to the four-for-three stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend
issued on May 21, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Liquidity and capital resources of the Company's United States operations - 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 utilized $372,364 of cash during the first half of
1998. Cash from operations amounted to $1,063,404, after a net increase of
$95,669 in working capital. Accounts receivable declined by $230,288 as
collections returned to normal levels following a postal strike in late-1997,
while inventories increased by $323,682. Accounts payable and accrued expenses
increased by $657,202, primarily as a result of accrued expenses related to
fees and other charges in connection with the businesses acquired during the
period. Income taxes payable decreased by $545,392, reflecting the payment of
1997 income tax balances and a higher level of instalments in 1998. Capital
expenditures amounted to $346,640 during the first half of 1998. New debt
raised during the period from an existing facility to finance capital spending
amounted to $197,671, while repayments of long-term debt totalled $316,928. In
addition, $550,122 of outstanding Class A Preferred shares were redeemed in
January 1998 and dividends of $98,464 were paid on the Class A and Class B
Preferred shares.
The purchase of the outstanding shares of H.A. Perigord Company Limited on
April 30, 1998 and of Professional Sanitation Products Ltd. and the Midway
Purnel group of companies in late June of 1998 for total consideration of
$5,802,876 were financed by term bank loans, under which an amount of
$3,525,440 had been drawn down at June 30, 1998, and by the issue of 283,111
Class F Preferred shares of Wood Wyant Inc. with a fair value of $1,861,876.
On June 25, 1998 the Company increased its secured revolving line of credit
from Cdn. $6,000,000 to Cdn. $7,500,000 ($5,109,688) to assist in refinancing
the operating cash requirements of the newly-acquired companies. As at June 30,
1998 approximately $2,500,000 was available on this line of credit. An
additional amount of approximately $960,000 was available to finance future
capital expenditures under a revolving credit facility of $2,043,875
(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.

<PAGE> 16
U.S. OPERATIONS
- ---------------
A total of $193,897 of cash was utilized during the first half of 1998.
Operating activities utilized $117,274 of cash, due to an increase of
$1,161,655 in working capital resulting primarily from increases in accounts
receivable ($203,094) and inventories ($456,167), reflecting increased business
activity, and a decrease of $511,961 in accounts payable. Capital expenditures
during the first half of 1998 amounted to $124,684. An amount of $100,101 was
obtained from the acquisition escrow fund, with $216,109 drawn on the Company's
revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 1998, additional borrowing of
approximately $1,459,000 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.
SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AND KNOWN TRENDS
- ------------------------------------
During the second quarter of 1998, two customers of the Wyant Health Care
Division informed the Company that they would discontinue purchasing the
Company's incontinent care products. For the six months ended June 30, 1998,
sales to each of these two customers were at approximately the same level and
together accounted for approximately $3.2 million in sales. One of the
customers, which began purchasing this line of products in January 1998,
discontinued purchasing products effective June 1, 1998. The second, a
long-time private label customer, commenced phasing-out the purchase of the
company's products effective July 1, 1998 due to a change in control. However,
this customer has indicated that it will continue to purchase products at
approximately one-sixth of the former level at least until October 1998.
Additionally, commencing January 1, 1999, the medical insurance program of the
State of California (Medi-Cal) will no longer include one of the Wyant Health
Care Division's incontinent care products as a reimbursable product for
purposes of the Medi-Cal program. Although it is difficult to estimate sales
attributable to the inclusion of this product in the Medi-Cal program,
management estimates that almost all of the approximately $1.4 million of sales
of this product in the State of California during the six months ended June 30,
1998 resulted from its acceptance under the program. Medi-Cal has also
informed the Company that it will be adding certain of the Company's similar
incontinent care products to its listing of reimbursable products commencing
January 1, 1999. However, there is no assurance that the inclusion of the
similar products will generate sales for the Company or, if sales are
generated, the level of these sales.
The Company is currently negotiating a three-year supply contract for sales to
a new customer of Airlaid products. The customer has estimated its annual
requirements to be between $3.0 million and $3.6 million per year. Pending
contract completion, the Wyant Health Care Division has made sales totalling
$370,000 to this customer during the months of June and July 1998. While the
contract is in the process of being negotiated, there is no assurance that it
will be completed or, if the contract is not completed, that the customer will
continue to purchase Airlaid products from the Company consistent with current
practice.
The Company anticipates that a charge estimated at $250,000 after tax will be
incurred in the third quarter of 1998 relating to the rationalization of the
operations of the sanitation products segment. Acquisitions during the first
half of 1998 are expected to represent a 25% increase to annual revenues
generated by Wood Wyant's Canadian distribution business.
