NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Fragrance Impressions Limited (the "Company"), a Connecticut Corporation is in
the business of developing and distributing "Alternative" fragrances principally
to chain drugstores located throughout the United States. Segment information is
not presented since the Company's revenue is attributable to a single reportable
segment.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Certain significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and
reserve for obsolete inventory. These estimates are susceptible to change in the
near term, and these changes could be significant.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Allowances are established
for estimated returns based on historical trends. It is reasonably possible that
those estimated returns may be increased significantly in the near term. As a
result, revenue recognized may be reduced materially in the near term due to
increased returns.
CASH
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risk on its cash deposits.
9
<PAGE>
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market. Work in process and finished goods include all direct material cost and
charges from outside suppliers for manufacturing.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by both the
straight-line method and accelerated methods over the following estimated useful
lives of 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter
of the term of the lease or their estimated useful lives.
ADVERTISING
All costs associated with advertising are expensed in the year incurred.
Advertising expense included in selling expenses was approximately $1,800,000
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
INCOME TAXES
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be taxed under
sections of federal income tax law (S Corporation Status), which provide that in
lieu of corporation income taxes, all stockholders separately account for their
pro-rata shares of the Company's items of income, deductions, losses and
credits. The State of Connecticut currently taxes S Corporations. However, the S
Corporation income subject to tax at the corporate level is currently being
phased out, and by the year 2000, no S Corporation income will be taxed at the
corporate level. Therefore, all income from the Company will be taxed at the
stockholder level.
Deferred taxes for state income tax reporting purposes are provided on a
liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible
temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in
tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
NOTE 2. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Sales to two large drugstore chains represented approximately 72% of sales
during the year ended December 31, 1998. Accounts receivable due from these

who have completed six months of service and who are at least 21 years of age.

reduced (in various stages) to $98,250 by January 1, 2000. The maximum borrowing
base consists of certain eligible trade receivable, net of reserves plus the
lesser of 40% of eligible inventory or $1,250,000. Interest on the line of
credit is payable monthly at the bank's prime lending rate plus 1%. Interest on

TRISTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On November 15, 1999, Tristar Corporation (The "Company"), and its newly formed
wholly owned subsidiary, Tristar USA, Inc. ("Tristar USA"), entered into an
acquisition agreement dated effective November 1, 1999 to acquire Fragrance
Impressions Limited, a Connecticut Corporation ("FIL"). FIL, headquartered in
Bridgeport, Connecticut, markets and distributes designer alternative
fragrances, cosmetics and bath and body products.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, FIL was merged into Tristar USA
which purchased all of the issued and outstanding common stock of FIL for
$350,000 in cash, $3,050,000 in promissory notes ("Notes"), and options to
purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.82 per share
which were valued at approximately $307,000 utilizing the Black Scholes Method.
Effective October 14, 1999, the Company completed a second private placement
whereby it sold an additional 21,667 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to a
private investor for $60 per share. A portion of the proceeds from this private
placement were used to finance the FIL acquisition. Accordingly, the proceeds of
this private placement were integral to the acquisition of FIL. Each share of
Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 11.0345 common shares at a
conversion price of $5.44 per share. On October 14, 1999, the date of the
issuance of 21,667 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, the closing bid price
of the Company's common stock as reported by NASDAQ was $6.00. The Series C
Preferred Stock conversion ratio was based on $5.44 conversion price resulting
in a beneficial conversion feature of $133,887. In addition, in connection with
the Series C Preferred Stock issuance the Company issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 60,000 shares of common stock at $4.75 per share. The common stock
warrants issued to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock were valued at
approximately $185,000 utilizing the Black Scholes Method. Additionally, the
Company incurred costs of $53,000 in connection with the Series C Preferred
Stock issuance. The beneficial conversion, the value of common stock warrants
and the issuance costs have been accounted for as a beneficial conversion
feature to the preferred shareholders and thus have been charged directly to
accumulated deficit and have been reflected as a reduction in net income
applicable to common stock.
The consideration paid by Tristar USA was arrived at through negotiations
between the Company, Tristar USA, and FIL and was based on a variety of issues,
including without limitation, earnings and revenue, the value of goodwill and
the nature of alternative designer fragrance, cosmetic and bath and body
industry.

<PAGE>
The acquisition of FIL has been treated as a purchase acquisition for accounting
purposes. Accordingly, net assets acquired have been adjusted to fair value as
appropriate. The excess of the purchase price over the related fair value of net
assets acquired of approximately $5.3 million has been recorded as goodwill to
be amortized over 20 years.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements are provided to demonstrate the
effect of the acquisition of Tristar USA on the consolidated balance sheet at
August 28, 1999 and the results of operations of Tristar Corporation ("Tristar")
as of August 28, 1999. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet assumes the
purchase acquisition transaction occurred at August 28, 1999, the latest balance
sheet date. The unaudited pro forma Statement of Operations assumes the
acquisition occurred at the beginning of the most recent period presented (ie.
September 1, 1998).
Accordingly, all adjustments necessary to record this transaction have been
reflected.
