This Amendment No. 18 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed jointly by
Mahendra Sheth, Shashikant Sheth and Kirit Sheth (collectively the "Core Sheth
Family"), together with Starion International Limited ("Starion"), Transvit
Manufacturing Corporation ("Transvit Manufacturing"), and Virendra Sheth (all of
the foregoing referred to collectively as the "Reporting Persons") (the
"Schedule 13D") pursuant to a joint filing agreement attached to this Amendment
No. 18 as Exhibit 1, relates to the Common Stock of TRISTAR CORPORATION,
formerly known as Ross Cosmetics Distribution Centers, Inc. (the "Issuer").
Jamnadas Odhavji Sheth and Jayesh Jamnadas Sheth, who were formerly members of
the group of Reporting Persons, are parties to this Amendment No. 18 solely for
the purpose of acknowledging the accuracy of the information contained herein.
The Schedule 13D is amended as follows:
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This amendment relates to actions taken by present members of the Core
Sheth Family (as defined above) to separate their business interests in Tristar
which were formerly shared with members of another family with the same last
name but unrelated by blood. The Common Stock of the Issuer trades on the Nasdaq
National Market. The name of the Issuer is Tristar Corporation and its principal
executive address is 105 S. St. Mary's Street, San Antonio, Texas 78205.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
No amendment.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
The Core Sheth Family presently consists of three brothers:
Mahendrakumar Sunderlal Sheth, Shashikant Sunderlal Sheth and Kirit Sunderlal
Sheth. Currently, the Core Sheth Family exercises joint beneficial ownership and
voting control over 12,297,984 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, 2,400,000
warrants of the Issuer, 537,142 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the
Issuer, and 120,690 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Issuer through

<PAGE> 9
The Core Sheth Family has separated its business interests in Tristar
from Jamnadas Odhavji Sheth, who is unrelated by blood to the members of the
Core Sheth Family, and who along with entities under his control formerly shared
joint beneficial ownership and voting control over the Common and Preferred
Stock of the Issuer mentioned above. As part of the separation arrangement,
Jamnadas Odhavji Sheth and entities under his control have relinquished their
rights to the legal and beneficial ownership and voting rights to all of the
Common Stock, warrants and Preferred Stock of the Issuer in favor of the
remaining Core Sheth Family members in exchange for shares of other companies
owned by the Core Sheth Families on terms as set forth in the Agreement between
the Core Sheth Families ("Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit 2. In addition,
Jayesh Jamnadas Sheth, who is the son of Jamnadas Odhavji Sheth and who was
formerly a Reporting Person without having any legal or beneficial ownership
interest in any of the Common Stock, warrants or Preferred Stock of the Issuer,
has ceased to be a Reporting Person. Any description herein of, or relating to,
the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which
is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.
