              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                   For The Three-Month and Nine-Month Periods

(1)  Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do
     not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation
     of consolidated   financial position, results of operations, and cash
     flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and
     should be read in conjunction with the Calmar Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
     "Company") Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December
     31, 1996.  However, the information furnished does reflect all adjustments
     (consisting only of a normal and recurring nature) which are, in the
     opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
     the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the
     results of operations and cash flows for a full fiscal year.

  (4)  Income Taxes

     The Company's Federal income tax returns for calendar years 1986 through
     1991 are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service
     ("IRS").  On March 10, 1997, the Company received notice from the IRS of
     proposed adjustments for such calendar years which could result in
     additional Federal taxes of up to $5,500,000, plus interest from the date
     when such additional taxes would have been due, and in the reduction of the
     Company's net operating loss carryovers from $45,600,000 at December 31,
     1996, to $36,500,000.  Most of the proposed adjustments relate to the
     Company's amortization deductions with respect to a covenant not to compete
     purchased from the Company's former parent corporation when that
     corporation sold a controlling interest in the Company in 1988.

     On May 23, 1997, the Company filed a written protest regarding the proposed
     adjustments with the IRS.  The Company, after consultation with tax
     counsel, believes its positions set forth in its tax returns are in
     compliance with IRS rules and regulations and will vigorously contest the
     adjustments being proposed by the IRS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three-month Period Ended October 4, 1997 to the Three-month
Period Ended September 28, 1996.

Net sales for the three-month period ended October 4, 1997, were $57.7 million,
an increase of $2.5 million or 4.5% above the comparable 1996 period.  Net sales
would have grown by 9.5%, but for the unfavorable impact in foreign exchange
rates of $2.8 million.  Total dispenser sales increased $2.5 million or 15.4%
from the comparable period in 1996, due primarily to growth in the market for
liquid soap and body lotions and as a result of customer product promotions.

Gross profit for the three-month period ended October 4, 1997, increased $2.0
million or 14.0% from the comparable 1996 period.  As a percentage of net sales,
gross profit increased from 25.6% to 27.9%.  The gross profit increase is
attributable to improved sales volume, increased cost absorption and cost
savings obtained from the molding capacity increase in Europe.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.2 million or 16.0% of net
sales for the three-month period ended October 4, 1997, as compared to $9.1
million or 16.5% of net sales for the comparable 1996 period.

Operating income for the three-month period ended October 4, 1997,  increased to
$6.9 million or 11.9% of net sales, as compared to $5.0 million or 9.1% of net
sales, from the comparable 1996 period.  The increase is the result of higher
sales volume and the resulting increased gross profit.

Other income for the three-month period ended October 4, 1997, increased $0.1
million and was relatively comparable to 1996.  Interest expense increased $0.2
million from the comparable 1996 period due to increased borrowing levels.

No U.S. tax liability is expected to exist for the year ending 1997, due to
large U.S. net operating loss carryovers.  In 1996, no income tax benefit was
recorded against the U.S. losses due to uncertainty of its ultimate realization.
As such,  the income tax provisions for the three-month periods ended in 1997
and 1996 were primarily related to income from the Company's international
operations.  The increase in the tax provision reflects higher earnings of the
combined European subsidiaries.

Net income for the three-month period ended October 4, 1997, increased by $1.6
million from a net loss of $1.1 million for the comparable 1996 period.  The
increase in net income is due primarily to higher sales and improved gross
profit margins.


Comparison of the Nine-month Period Ended October 4, 1997 to the Nine-month
Period Ended September 28, 1996

Net sales for the nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, were $175.3 million,
an increase of $10.0 million or 6.0% from the comparable 1996 period.  Net sales
would have grown by 13.3%, but for the unfavorable impact in foreign exchange
rates of $8.6 million.  Sprayer sales increased $3.6 million or 3.7% from the
comparable period in 1996.  The increase in sales resulted from product
promotions and increased demand by existing customers in all the major
geographical segments.  Dispenser sales increased $5.6 million or 11.1% from the
comparable period in 1996, due primarily to growth in the market for liquid soap
and body lotion applications.

Gross profit for the nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, increased $5.4
million or 12.7% from the comparable 1996 period.  As a percentage of net sales,
gross profit increased from 25.6% to 27.2%.  The reasons for the gross profit
increase are the same as those for the three-month period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $28.4 million or 16.2% of net
sales for the nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, as compared to $27.3
million or 16.5% of net sales for the comparable 1996 period.  The increase is
due primarily to increased research and development expense and administrative
compensation.

Operating income for the nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, increased to
$19.2 million, or 11.0% of net sales, as compared to $14.9 million or 9.0% of
net sales, from the comparable 1996 period.  The increase reflects improved
gross profit, offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as
described above.

Other income for the nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, decreased by $0.2
million from the comparable 1996 period.  The decrease is primarily attributed
to loss from foreign currency transactions and disposal of fixed assets in the
United States.  Interest expense for the nine-month period ended October 4,
1997, increased $0.2 million from the comparable 1996 period due to increased
borrowing levels.

No U.S. tax liability is expected to exist for the year ending 1997, due to
large U.S. net operating loss carryovers.  In 1996, no income tax benefit was
recorded against the U.S. losses due to uncertainty of its ultimate realization.
As such,  the income tax provisions for the nine-month periods ended in 1997 and
1996 were primarily related to income from the Company's international
operations.  The increase in the tax provision in 1997 reflects higher earnings
of the combined European subsidiaries.

Net income for the nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, increased to $0.8
million as compared to a net loss of $3.0 million for the comparable 1996
period.  The increase is due to higher sales and improved gross margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company funds its cash needs through cash flow from operations, existing
cash balances, equipment financing, the revolving facility (the "Revolver")
under the Company's senior secured credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") and
short-term borrowing facilities in Europe.  A primary source of cash for the
Company is its cash flow from operations.  In addition, the Revolver is
available to support the Company's working capital requirements.  The net cash
used in operating activities increased by $12.5 million for the nine-month
period ended October 4, 1997, from the comparable 1996 period.  The cash used in
the changes in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable was
partially offset by the increase in cash provided by net income.  Working
capital, at October 4, 1997, was $27.1 million compared to $20.5 million at
December 31, 1996.  The increase in working capital is primarily attributed to
the increases in accounts receivable and inventories and decreases in accounts
payable, offset by the decrease in cash and cash equivalents and increased
current installments of long term debt.  The Company has entered into certain
interest rate cap agreements to reduce the risk of significant fluctuations in
interest rates on interest payments and expense for the term loan portion of the
Credit Facility.

The net cash used in investing activities increased by $7.9 million for the
nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, due to increased capital expenditures
in 1997.  For the nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, capital expenditures
were $14.6 million which were funded by equipment financing, the Revolver and
available cash.  The Company plans to fund new equipment purchases through
equipment financing and leasing, existing cash balances (which were $4.0 million
as of October 4, 1997) and cash flow from operations.

The net cash provided by financing activities increased $20.2 million for the
nine-month period ended October 4, 1997, primarily due to the Company utilizing
$8.7 million on the Revolver in the current quarter, a higher domestic cash
overdraft position, increased utilization of European short-term borrowing
facilities and increased financing of capital expenditures.

The Revolver permits borrowings of up to the lesser of $12.0 million or the
maximum amount permitted under an eligible borrowing base test and contains a
$5.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.  At  October 4, 1997, the borrowing
base test permitted the Company to borrow up to $12.0 million.  At such date,
the Company had borrowings outstanding of $8.7 million and letters of credit of
$1.0 million, leaving $2.3 million available for borrowing.  In addition, the
Company had unused credit facilities available to its European subsidiaries of
$0.3 million at October 4, 1997.

The indenture which governs the terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes (the
"Indenture") and the Credit Facility contain significant financial and operating
covenants. The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things,
limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt, issue
certain preferred stock, create liens securing subordinated debt, sell or
transfer assets, make restricted payments (dividends, redemptions, investments,
and unscheduled payments on subordinated debt) and engage in certain
transactions with affiliates and certain mergers. The Credit Facility contains
certain financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants related to
a minimum interest coverage ratio, a minimum consolidated EBITDA and a minimum
current ratio. In addition, the Credit Facility contains affirmative and
negative covenants relating to (among other things) limitations on capital
expenditures, other indebtedness, liens, investments, guarantees, restricted
junior payments (dividends, redemptions, and payments on subordinated debt),
mergers and acquisitions, sales of assets, leases and transactions with
affiliates. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default,
including certain changes of control of the Company. As of October 4, 1997, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in such debt instruments.

The terms of the Indenture allow for additional indebtedness, including Senior
Debt (as defined in the Indenture) and secured indebtedness.  The incurrence of
additional indebtedness is limited by certain conditions, including compliance
with a Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio (as defined in the Indenture), calculated on
a pro forma basis to reflect such additional indebtedness, of 2.0 to 1.0.  At
October 4, 1997, the Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio was 2.0 to 1.0.  In addition
and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture permits the Company, and in
certain cases its subsidiaries, to incur certain specified additional
indebtedness without regard to compliance with the Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio
referred to above.  The terms of the Credit Facility permit the Company, and in
certain cases its subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness only under
certain circumstances.

                                       10

The Company has a substantial amount of indebtedness.  The degree to which the
Company is leveraged could have important consequences to investors, including
the following:  (i) the Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the
future for refinancing indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired, (ii) a substantial
portion of the Company's consolidated cash flow from operations must be used for
the payment of interest and principal on its indebtedness, (iii) the Company may
be more highly leveraged than its competitors, which may place it at a
competitive disadvantage, (iv) the Indenture and the Credit Facility contain
restrictive financial and operating covenants, (v) the borrowings under the
Credit Facility have floating rates of interest, which cause the Company to be
vulnerable to increases in interest rates, and (vi) the Company's substantial
degree of leverage could make it more vulnerable to a downturn in general
economic conditions.

Cumulative dividends aggregating $73.7 million have accumulated on the Company's
outstanding Series A and Series B Preferred Stock through October 4, 1997.  Such
dividends, payable in shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock,
respectively, had not been declared as of October 4, 1997.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations, existing cash balances and
the financial resources available to it, including the Revolver and equipment
financing and leasing, will be sufficient to meet its debt service, working
capital and capital investment needs through the term of the Revolver.

The Company's Federal income tax returns for calendar years 1986 through 1991
are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").  On
March 10, 1997, the Company received notice from the IRS of proposed adjustments
for such calendar years which could result in additional Federal taxes of up to
$5.5 million, plus interest from the date when such additional taxes would have
been due, and in the reduction of the Company's net operating loss carryovers
from $45.6 million at December 31, 1996, to $36.5 million.   Most of the
proposed adjustments relate to the Company's amortization deductions with
respect to a covenant not to compete purchased from the Company's former parent
corporation when that corporation sold a controlling interest in the Company in
1988.

On May 23, 1997, the Company filed a written protest regarding the proposed
adjustments with the IRS.  The Company, after consultation with tax counsel,
believes its positions set forth in its tax returns are in compliance with IRS
rules and regulations and will vigorously contest the adjustments being proposed
by the IRS.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (Statement 128).
This Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share ("EPS"), and supersedes APB Opinion No. 15.  Statement 128 replaces
primary EPS with basic EPS and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
EPS.  Statement 128 is effective for both interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 1997.  Earlier adoption is not permitted.  After adoption,
all prior-period EPS data shall be restated to conform to Statement 128.
Proforma basic and diluted EPS, as calculated under Statement 128, would have
been ($1.34) and ($4.07) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
October 4, 1997, respectively.
