4.   Litigation
     ----------
  
     On or about February 3, 1995, an action was filed against the Company and
certain of its present and former officers in the Superior Court of Arizona
under the caption Mattice et al. v. Aloette Cosmetics, Inc. et al. Rather than
                  ------------------------------------------------
pursue this matter in the courts both parties mutually settled this matter on
May 3, 1995. The settlement did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated results of operations.

5.   Sale of Manufacturing Operations
     --------------------------------

     The Company has reached an agreement in principle to sell its manufacturing
operation in Texas for a cash payment of approximately $2.15 million. The sale
is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with the
sale, the Company will also be entering into a five year supply agreement to
purchase inventory at prices competitive in the industry. The sale includes
the facility, inventory and equipment. Closing of the transaction is expected
to occur in early June, 1995. As a result of the sale of the manufacturing
operation the Company recorded a first quarter charge of $3.75 million to write
down these assets to their estimated net realizable value and to recognize
certain exit costs.

     Sales from the manufacturing operation were $738,000 and $502,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The net losses from
normal operations for the corresponding periods were $176,000 and $278,000.
Sales totaled approximately $2.7 million in 1994 and the net loss for the same
period was $1.1 million.

ITEM 2:
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

ASSETS:

     Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $3.6 million. The
decrease corresponds to the decreases in notes payable of $1,233,000 and current
maturities of long-term debt as cash from operations was used to repay the
Company's bank term loan of $2.25 million and reduce the amount outstanding on
its revolving line of credit. Accounts Receivable, Inventories and Property,
Plant and Equipment were adjusted to their net realizable value due to the
sale of the manufacturing operation.

LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

     The decrease in short-term liabilities corresponds to the decrease in cash
and cash equivalents. In order to recognize certain exit costs relating to the
manufacturing operations, accrued expenses increased since December 31, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net Income
- ----------

     The Company reported a net loss of approximately $4.4 million, or $ 2.02
per share, for the first quarter of 1995 compared to net loss of $52,000, or
$.02 per share for the first quarter of 1994. The impact of the costs associated
with the sale of the manufacturing operation on net income was $3.75 million for
the first quarter of 1995, and does not include a tax benefit. This tax benefit
can have a significant positive impact on earnings in the future.

Loss on Sale of Manufacturing Operations
- ----------------------------------------

     The Company has reached an agreement in principle to sell its manufacturing
operation in Texas for a cash payment of approximately $2.15 million. The sale
is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with the
sale, the Company will also be entering into a five year supply agreement to
purchase inventory at prices competitive in the industry. The sale includes
the facility, inventory and equipment. As a result of the sale of the
manufacturing operation the Company recorded a first quarter charge of $3.75
million to write down these assets to their estimated net realizable value and
to recognize certain exit costs.

     Sales from the manufacturing operation were $738,000 and $502,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The net losses from
normal operations for the corresponding periods were $176,000 and $278,000.
Sales totaled approximately $2.7 million in 1994 and net loss for the same
period was $1.1 million. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur in
early June, 1995.

Revenues
- --------

     For the current quarter, total revenues decreased approximately $160,000 or
4% to $3.6 million from $3.7 million in 1994. Although domestic net product
sales remained relatively flat and Superior sales increased, product sales in
Canada decreased 24% or $295,000 resulting in a net decrease of $112,000.
Worldwide retail sales -- sales from franchises to their customers -- of $11.3
million in the first quarter of 1995 declined 3% compared to the first quarter
of 1994 resulting in the corresponding decrease in revenues from franchise
operations. However, domestic retail sales increased $107,000 to $5.2 million in
the same period. While the Company is hopeful that domestic retail sales will
continue to increase as a result of its continued focus on sales management,
revenues generated from the Canadian operation are not expected to improve in
the immediate future.

<PAGE> 9

Cost of Product Sales
- ---------------------

     Cost of product sales was 72% for the first quarter of 1995 versus 70% for
the first quarter of 1994. The increase was primarily a result of the lower
sales volume in Canada and increased Canadian product costs resulting from the
weakness in the Canadian dollar. The cost of products sales continued to be
negatively impacted by overhead costs at the Company's manufacturing facility.
Management expects the cost of product sales as a percentage of net product 
sales to decrease once the sale of the manufacturing operation is completed.

Expenses
- --------
        
     Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately
$300,000 from the first quarter of 1994 primarily as a result of several one
time charges incurred against earnings, including professional fees relating to
the sale of the manufacturing business and the restructuring of the
financing agreement. The cost reduction initiatives taken in 1994 have begun to
positively impact operating results, however these were more than offset by the
above mentioned one time charges and legal fees relating to lawsuits and other
corporate matters.

Other Income
- ------------

     The decrease in other income of approximately $57,000 is substantially
related to the inclusion of a $50,000 gain on exchange rate in other income in
1994.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     At March 31, 1995, the Company held over $328,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and had outstanding borrowings of $3.2 million under its line of
credit. Under its current financing arrangements, the Company is subject to
certain restrictions and covenants including maintaining certain balances in
cash and cash equivalents and certain restrictions on the payment of dividends
and any subordinated debt.

     In conjunction with the sale of the manufacturing operation the Company has
requested relief with respect to certain covenants contained in its credit
facility. Management believes that its working capital, current financing
alternatives, and available line of credit will be sufficient to cover normal
and expected cash flow needs, including planned capital spending, for at least
the next 12 months.
