3.  PURCHASE OF BUILDING

On March 15, 1994, the Company acquired its Stamford, Connecticut executive
office facility from Leandro P. Rizzuto, President and sole common stockholder
of the Company.  The purchase price of $20,000,000 was determined based on an
independent appraisal.  A ten-year unsecured loan in the amount of $20,000,000
was obtained by the Company on the above date to finance this transaction.  The
interest rate on this new loan is 7%.  Principal repayments on this loan begin
on June 1, 1996 with the payment of $625,000 and variable sums are due semi-
annually on June 1 and December 1 until a final payment of $4,000,000 at
maturity on February 28, 2004.  The Company leased back to Leandro P. Rizzuto a
portion of the facility for a period of 99 years subject to the Company's
option, for a period of 10 years, to buy back the lease rights.  The option
price for the Company to repurchase the lease rights is $4,000,000 for the
first five years, escalating to $6,400,000 million over the remaining five
years.  The initial option price was determined based on an independent
appraisal.











                      CONAIR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SALES

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 increased 13.8% over the
comparable period in 1993.  The increase resulted primarily from an increase in
sales of Consumer Electronics, due to sales of Southwestern Bell and Freedom
Phone products which were not sold in the first quarter of 1993.  Increases in
the sales of Consumer Toiletries and Cuisinarts products were offset by a
decline in the sales of Consumer Appliances.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins in the first quarter of 1994 were 33.3% of net sales as compared
to 34.2% for the comparable period in 1993.  The variance in gross margins
is primarily due to product mix.


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1994 were
28.7% of net sales as compared to 29.8% for the comparable period in 1993.  The
decline resulted from the fixed and semi-variable nature of certain costs in
this category.


INTEREST

Interest expense has decreased from the same period last year due to a
reduction of average borrowings.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate varied for the first quarter of 1994 as compared
to the same period in 1993.  This was primarily due to the amortization of the
excess cost of investments over net assets acquired, not deductible for tax
purposes.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company's working capital was $121,551,000 at March 31, 1994 and the
current ratio was 3.2 to 1.  The Company's cash balance was $4,546,000, long-
term debt was $101,115,000 and there were no short-term borrowings at March 31,
1994.

The Company believes its capital resources are adequate to finance normal
growth and service the Company's debt obligations.  At March 31, 1994, the
Company had lines of credit with banks in the United States and abroad
aggregating $64,400,000.

On March 15, 1994, the Company acquired its Stamford, Connecticut executive
office facility from Leandro P. Rizzuto, President and sole common stockholder
of the Company.  The purchase price of $20,000,000 was determined based on an
independent appraisal.  A ten-year unsecured loan in the amount of $20,000,000
was obtained by the Company on the above date to finance this transaction.  The
