NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Summary of significant accounting policies:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary to present
fairly the Company's financial position at January 31,1996 and July 31,
1995, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended
January 31, 1996 and 1995 and the cash flows for the six months ended
January 31, 1996 and 1995. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 1995 was taken from
audited consolidated financial statements previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company's Form 10K.
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated
in consolidation. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations for a full year.
These quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements contained in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of". This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards
for the impairment of long lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles,
and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, and for long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. This
statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995, although earlier application is encouraged. The
Company has not concluded its evaluation of the effect, if any, the adoption
of SFAS No. 121 will have on its financial position or results of
operations.
In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
FSAB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This
statement establishes a fair value based method of accounting for an
employee stock option or similar equity instrument but allows companies to
continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic
value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Companies electing to remain
with the accounting under APB Opinion No. 25 must, however, make pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based
method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. These
disclosure requirements are effective for years beginning after December 15,
1995.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company's major
customers are department stores and a television shopping network.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is
significant due to the dependence of certain customers in the Company's
customer base. At January 31, 1996, a television shopping network accounted
for 49% of sales and 60% of accounts receivable.

(2) Inventory:
Inventory at January 31, 1996 and July 31, 1995 was comprised of finished
goods amounting to $967,085 and $1,424,009 respectively and raw materials
and semi-finished goods of $1,684,872 and $1,902,558, respectively.
(3) Other Assets:
License agreements and trademarks are recorded at cost and are amortized
over their estimated useful lives of 19 years. Goodwill is amortized using
the straight line method over 40 years.
The Company has received an offer and is currently involved in negotiations
for the sale of its rights to Robert Piquet. The book value of the Robert
Piquet license agreement and inventory as reflected on the Company's Balance
sheet of January 31, 1996 are $820,808 and $255,086, respectively. The
Company believes that the ultimate sale of the license agreement and
related inventory will not result in a loss and accordingly has not
reserved against the carrying value of these assets.
(4) Debt:
Term Loan:
The Company presently has a $5.0 million, five-year term loan with Midlantic
National Bank ("Midlantic") which bears interest at a rate of .5% above the
bank's prime lending rate. The balance under the term loan was $100,000 and
$700,000 at January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. At July 31, 1995 the
balance under the term loan was $400,000.
Term Promissory Note:
At January 31, 1996, the Company had a Term promissory note due to Midlantic
in the amount of $875,000. The term promissory note is collateralized by a
distribution and administration facility and bears interest at rate of 2%
above Midlantic's prime lend rate. The balance under this term promissory
note was $1,025,000 and $1,175,000 at July 31, 1995 and January 31, 1995
respectively
Lines of Credit:
The Company also maintains a $700,000 secured line of credit with
Midlantic, expiring July 10, 1996, which bears interest at 1.5% above the
bank's prime lending rate. The Company is required to maintain a
compensating balance equal to 5% of the line of credit. In January 1996,
the Company and Midlantic agreed to consolidate its outstanding balance of
$164,750 due under its revolving line of credit with its term loan for a
total amount due of $264,750. Payments will be made in five monthly
installments of $50,000 each with the remaining $14,750 to be paid as the
final installment. Total borrowings under this line of credit were $324,743
at January 31, 1995. At July 31, 1995 borrowings under this line of credit
were $0.
In January 1996, the Company amended its agreement with Credit Lyonnais to
extend the expiration date of its line of credit to November 30, 1996. This
loan agreement expired on October 15, 1995. Under the amended agreement the
Company will pay four quarterly installments of $100,000 each with a final
payment of $1,700,000 due on the expiration date. The loan is secured by the
domestic accounts receivable of Adrien Arpel, Inc. Borrowings under this
line of credit were $2,100,000 at January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively .
At July 31, 1995 borrowings under this line of credit were $2,100,000.

ALFIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
The Company's loan agreement with Midlantic contains financial covenants
which require the Company to have a Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of not
less than $1,000,000 and Consolidated Capital Expenditures not to exceed
$400,000 for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1996. These financial covenants
do not have to be met on a quarterly basis.
The Company is meeting with potential lenders and is pursuing a relationship
under which it can consolidate its borrowings in order to take advantage of
its consolidated asset base.
Related Party Loans:
At January 31, 1996 and July 31, 1995, the Company had advances from
Fine Fragrances Distribution, Inc. ("FFD") in the amount of $34,826. These
advances are due on demand and bear interest at a rate of 1.5% above the
prime lending rate of Midlantic. At January 31, 1995 advances from FFD
totaled $300,000. At January 31, 1996 FFD owned 63.% of the Company's
Common Stock.
(5) Computation of net income (loss) per common
and common equivalent share:
Net income per common and common equivalent share was computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. Common stock
equivalents include the number of shares issuable on exercise of the
outstanding options and warrants less the number of shares that could have
been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the options and
warrants based on the average price of common stock during the period.
(6) Income Taxes
The Company maintains approximately $8.5 million of Federal operating loss
carry forwards with expiration dates from 2005 to 2009; however, the annual
use of pre-acquisition loss carry forwards is limited by the Internal
Revenue Code. As such, the Company has reflected a tax provision of $70,000
in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months
ended January 31, 1996 which primarily relates to the Federal alternative
minimum tax and to State income taxes.
(7) Commitments
One officer of the Company has an employment agreement which provides for
salary, fringe benefits and commission payments based upon 33% of the net
profits attributable to television shopping sales.
One officer of the Company has 975,000 warrants outstanding which expire in
November 1998.

ALFIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JANUARY 31, 1996
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996
The Company recorded net income for the six months ended January 31, 1996 of
$1,176,555 as compared to net income of $705,899 recorded for the six months
ended January 31, 1995. Net income per common and common equivalent share was
$0.10 for the six months ended January 31, 1996 as compared to $0.06 for the
six months ended January 31, 1995.
Net sales for the six months ended January 31, 1996 increased 4.7% to
$16,784,343 as compared to $16,032,756 for the same period of the prior fiscal
year. Sales of cosmetic products increased 7.7% to $16,540,282 from
$15,364,701, while sales of fragrance products decreased 63.5% to $244,061 from
$668,055.
The cosmetic sales increase of $1,175,581 is primarily attributable to an
increase in Adrien Arpel's department store sales of $812,585, or 11.0% when
compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increased sales to
department stores reflects heightened awareness for the Adrien Arpel products
line due to the success and exposure the Company has experienced with The Home
Shopping Network. Sales of Adrien Arpel products to The Home Shopping Network
increased $362,996, or 4.5% for the six months ended January 31, 1996, when
compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company shipped its
first order to The Home Shopping Network of Canada during January, 1996 in the
amount of $276,755.
The fragrance sales decrease of $423,994 is primarily attributable to the
Company's decision to temporarily suspend its fragrances business. This
decision was made during the latter part of fiscal 1995 due to limited working
capital and the unprofitability of the fragrance business at the reported sales
levels.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 31.6% as compared to 30.1%
for the six months ended January 31, 1996. The cost of goods sold increase
reflects higher production costs which have been passed along to the Company by
its manufacturers. The Company is studying its product mix and costing to
minimize the impact of these increases.
Selling, general and administration expenses decreased 1.7% or $175,230 to
$10,053,866 for the six months ended January 31, 1996 as compared to
$10,229,096 for the six months ended January 31, 1995. These reductions are
related to advertising and payroll expenses.
Other expenses decreased 33.0%to $177,613 for the six months ended January 31,
1996 as compared to $265,139 for the six months ended January 31, 1995. The
decrease is primarily related to decreased interest expenses related to lower
debt levels.

<PAGE> 11
THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996.
The Company recorded net income for the three months ended January 31, 1996 of
$741,451 as compared to net income of $655,698 for the three months ended
January 31, 1995, a 13.1% increase. Net income per common and common
equivalent share was $0.06 for the three months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995
due to the impact of certain options and warrants which we considered common
stock equivalents.
Net sales for the three months ended January 31, 1996 increased 3.9% to
$9,110,445 from $8,771,169 recorded during the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year. Sales of cosmetic products increased 5.6% to $9,104,952 from $8,621,621
while sales of fragrances products decreased 96.3% from $149,548 to $5,493.
Increased sales during the three months ended January 31, 1996 are primarily
related to shipments to The Home Shopping Network, which increased 10.7% or
$482,461 over the same quarter of the prior year. The Company shipped its first
order to The Home Shopping Network of Canada during January 1996 in the amount
of $276,755.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 34.4% as compared to 31.8%
for the quarters ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This increase
is due to product mix since a larger portion of the three month sales are
attributable to Home Shopping sales or wholesale sales as opposed to retail
sales. Additionally, as mentioned in the six month results, higher product
costs have been passed along to the Company by its manufacturers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.8% or $41,462 to
$5,125,384 from $5,166,846 for the quarter ended January 31, 1996 as compared
to the quarter ended January 31, 1995.
Other expenses decreased 51.7% or $83,770 to $78,353 as compared to $162,123
during the quarter ended January 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
January 31, 1995. This decrease is primarily related to decreased interest
expenses related to lower debt levels.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,488,502 at January 31, 1996, a
decrease of $1,140,652 from a working capital deficit of $2,629,154 at July 31,
1995.
Total bank debt decreased $285,250 during the six months ended January 31, 1996
from $3,525,000 at July 31, 1995 to $3,239,750 at January 31, 1996. In
January, the Company and Midlantic agreed to consolidate the amounts due under
the Company's revolving line of credit and term loan in the amounts of $164,750
and $100,000 respectively into one loan in the amount of $264,750. Payments
will be made in five monthly installments of $50,000 each with the last payment
of $14,750 scheduled to be made during July 1996.
In January, the Company amended is loan agreement with Credit Lyonnais to
extend the expiration date until November 30, 1996. This loan agreement
expired on October 15, 1995. Under the revised agreement with Credit Lyonnais
the Company agreed to pay $100,000 on a quarterly basis with a final payment of
$1,700,000 due on the expiration date.
The Company is meeting with potential lenders and is pursuing a relationship
under which it can consolidate its borrowings in order to take advantage of its
consolidated asset base to increase financing potential at more favorable
interest rates and terms.
With the improved profitability and generation of positive cash flow
experienced over the last fiscal year and current six months, the Company has
been able to improve its inventory and accounts payable levels to balances
which are more in line with its current business trends.
