           			NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       											(Unaudited)


 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 The accompanying financial information is submitted in response to the
 requirements of Form 10Q and	does not purport to be financial statements
 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as
 they do not include all disclosures which might be associated with
 such financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these financial
 statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
 accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
 periods presented.


 2.  INVENTORIES

 Inventories are summarized as follows:


                               										March 31,	   December 31,		March 31,
               										                  1994          1994         1995

  		Finished goods                 					   93,112		       91,492     125,089

 3.ACQUISITION

 On February 18, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of
 Babyliss S.A. ("Babyliss") for approximately $38,000,000 which purchase
 price is subject to a maximum downward adjustment of approximately
 $4,000,000 based on the terms of the agreement.  Babyliss is a 
 manufacturer and marketer of personal care appliance products 
 principally in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium,
 the Netherlands and Spain. Through its  distributors,
 Babyliss products are also marketed in Scandinavia and
 several non-European markets including North America, Africa
 and East Asia.  In connection with this acquisition, the Company
 increased its bank 	revolving credit line by $37,500,000.
 This additional debt has mandatory principal repayments
 of $5,000,000 on December 15, 1996; $7,500,000 on December 15, 1997;
 $10,000,000 on each of December 15, 1998 and December 15, 1999
 and $5,000,000 on March 15, 2000. The interest rate on this facility
 is variable and is	subject to change based on the leverage and
 operating performance of the Company. Approximately, $5,200,000
 of additional costs are expected to be incurred relating to the 
 acquisition of Babyliss which	includes the buyout of minority
 interest shareholders of several subsidiaries of Babyliss.


 This acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of
 accounting.  The excess of the purchase price over the estimated
 fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $25,700,000
 will be amortized on a straight line basis over 30 years.
 The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates of
 the	fair value of the net assets acquired and is subject to
 adjustment as additional information becomes available.


 4.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 On February 28, 1995, the Company exercised its option to purchase the
 portion of its Stamford, Connecticut 	executive office facility leased 
 to Leandro P. Rizzuto.  The Company intends to pay the option price of
 $4,000,000 with $1,012,000 in cash and $2,988,000 through the sale to
 Mr. Rizzuto of its facility in Phoenix, 	Arizona.  The selling price
 of the Phoenix, Arizona facility is based on an independent appraisal. 
 The	Company will lease the Phoenix, Arizona facility from Mr. Rizzuto
 until the construction of its new facility in 	Glendale, Arizona is
 completed. The monthly lease payments are based on an independent 
 appraisal.  This transaction was completed on May 11, 1995.

 SALES

 Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased by 19.1% to
 $113,826,000 from $95,575,000 in the comparable period of 1994. The
 Company's personal care appliance products accounted for approximately
 83%	of this increase. Foreign sales increased approximately 157% principally
 due to the inclusion of sales of Babyliss and REVLON products which were
 not sold in the first quarter of 1994. Domestic personal care appliance
 sales	increased approximately 25% primarily due to sales of CONAIR brand
 hot air curling irons which were not sold in the first quarter of 
 1994 and increased sales of private label hair dryers.  Sales of
 consumer electronics increased approximately 4% in the first quarter
 of 1995.   Sales of Southwestern Bell FREEDOM PHONE	products increased
 approximately 10% primarily due to increased unit sales of existing
 products. Sales of other consumer electronics products decreased by
 approximately 3% primarily due to lower average selling prices
 on corded phones which was partially offset by higher unit sales of
 cordless phones.  Sales of CUISINART	products increased approximately
 16% in the first quarter of 1995 primarily due to increased sales of
 cookware.	Sales of toiletries and professional salon products were
 essentially unchanged in the first quarter of 1995	compared to the
 first quarter of 1994.

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



  	      
 GROSS MARGINS

 Gross margins increased as a percentage of net sales to 33.8% in the
 quarter ended March 31, 1995 from 33.3% for the comparable period 
 in 1994.  This increase was primarily due to changes in the mix of the
	products sold by the Company, specifically a 41% increase in the sales
 of personal care appliance products	which have relatively higher gross
 profit margins, compared to a 5% increase in sales of all of the 
 Company's	other products. Higher gross margins on sales of
 CUISINART products also contributed to the improvement	in gross margins.


 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

 Selling, general and administrative expenses remained essentially unchanged
 as a percentage of sales at 28.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
 compared to 28.7% for the comparable period in the prior	year, but 
 increased by 19.5% to $32,735,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 
 from $27,401,000 in the	first quarter of 1994.  The increase
 of $5,334,000 was primarily due to selling, general and administrative
	expenses of Babyliss, which were not included in expenses for the first
 quarter of 1994, increases in variable expenses to support the increase
 in sales of other products and increases in advertising and promotional
 expenses.



 INTEREST

 The Company's interest expense of $2,323,000 in the quarter ended
 March 31, 1995 increased from	$1,598,000 in the first quarter of 1994. 
 The increase of $725,000 was primarily due to an increase in the Company's
 long-term debt primarily to finance the purchase of its executive office
 facility and the acquisition of Babyliss.



 INCOME TAXES

 The Company's effective income tax rate remained essentially unchanged at
 44.8% in the quarter ended	March 31, 1995 as compared to 44.1% in the        
 corresponding 1994 quarter.

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


 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


 At March 31, 1995, the Company's working capital was
 $146,264,000 and its current ratio was 2.6 to 1. 		The Company's
 cash balance was $8,421,000 and long-term debt was $133,052,000
 at March 31, 1995.



 Capital expenditures during 1994 and anticipated capital
 expenditures during 1995 are higher than in previous	years
 because of certain real estate acquisitions and improvements. 
 Capital expenditures were $29,546,000 in 1994, $20,000,000 of
 which represents the purchase price of the Company's executive
 office facility in	Stamford, Connecticut. Net capital
 expenditures for 1995 are anticipated to be approximately
 $17,000,000, of which	approximately $7,000,000 is for the
 completion of the Company's warehouse and distribution facility
 in Glendale,	Arizona and $1,012,000 is for the exercise of the
 Company's option to purchase lease rights in its executive
 office	facility in Stamford, Connecticut from Leandro P.Rizzuto,
 which took place on May 11, 1995 as noted in Note 4
 to the condensed consolidated statements.



 Historically, approximately 60% of the Company's sales and 70%
 of its operating profit are achieved in the	second half of the
 year.  The Company relies on short-term bank debt to finance its
 seasonal operating needs	which result in a build-up of
 receivables and inventory during the first nine months of each
 year with a substantial	reduction in receivables, inventories
 and bank credit during the fourth quarter.  As of March 31,
 1995, the	Company had short-term lines of credit aggregating
 $81,500,000, which do not include an additional $25,000,000
 available for the period May 15 to November  30 to finance its
 seasonal business needs.  In addition, the Company	had a
 long-term revolving credit line of $58,500,000, of which
 $20,500,000 was unutilized at March 31, 1995.		This revolving
 credit line includes an increase, in connection with the
 Babyliss acquisition, of $37,500,000. 		This additional debt
 has mandatory principal repayments of $5,000,000 on December 15,
 1996, $7,500,000	on December 15, 1997, $10,000,000 on each of
 December 15, 1998 and December 15, 1999 and  $5,000,000 on
 March 15, 2000.  The interest rate on this facility is variable
 and is subject to change based on the leverage		and operating
 performance of the Company.


 As a result of the Company's acquisition of Babyliss, the
 Company has developed a hedging program designed to	hedge firm
 purchase commitments of goods and services denominated in
 foreign currencies. 



	Effects of Inflation


 The Company believes that the relatively moderate rate of
 inflation over the past few years has not had a significant
 impact on the Company's results of operation.
