                                      ==========               ==========


3. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Non cash investing and financing activities:

In March, 1996, the Company reacquired a franchise as satisfaction of a net
notes receivable of approximately $160,000. There were no franchises sold,
refinanced or repurchased in the first quarter of 1995.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company utilized $53,000 of barter credits
for inventory purchases compared to zero in 1995.



<PAGE>


4. Sale of Assets of the Manufacturing Operations

         On June 15, 1995 the Company finalized the sale of certain assets of
its manufacturing operations in Texas for cash of approximately $2.1 million. As
a result of the sale of these assets, the Company recorded a charge of $3.75
million in the first quarter of 1995.

         Sales from the manufacturing operation were $738,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995. The net loss from operations for the corresponding
period, excluding the aforementioned $3.75 million charge, was $176,000.

5. Other Income (Expense)

         In the first quarter of 1996 an agreement of sale was signed for the
sale of the 3,700 square foot office condominium located in Pennsylvania. The
Company recorded a charge of approximately $42,000 to write down these assets to
their fair market value.

6. Franchise Repurchase

         In March, 1996, the Company repurchased one of its Canadian franchises,
which consists of three potential franchise territories as satisfaction of a net
notes receivable of approximately $160,000. The franchise is being operated by
the Company. For the period from its acquisition through March 31, 1996, the
franchise's net product sales and net earnings did not significantly affect
consolidated results from operations. In addition, the Company currently has a
letter of intent to sell one of the franchise territories for approximately
$110,000.

7. Subsequent Event

         In April, 1996, the Company reached an agreement with a director,
shareholder and former officer to restructure the payment terms of a
Subordinated Note held by such person. The new terms provide for interest to
accrue on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of 7.0%, with an initial
payment of $200,000 and monthly principal payments of $50,000 beginning May 15,
1996. Interest payments will be deferred until all principal has been paid in
full. Upon repayment of principal, monthly payments of $50,000 will continue
until all accrued interest is paid in full.

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

ASSETS:

         Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $300,000 to $1.3
million at March 31, 1996 from approximately $1.0 million at December 31, 1995,
primarily due to the Company's improved cash flows from operations. Inventories
continue to be one of the Companies largest segment of total assets comprising
30%, or $3.8 million of total assets at March 31, 1996. Property, plant and
equipment were $3.1 million, or 25%, of total assets. Notes receivable decreased
and other assets increased primarily as a result of the franchise repurchase.

LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

         Current maturities of long term debt decreased over $60,000 in the
first quarter of 1996. Debt still represents the largest portion of liabilities
totaling $2.8 million, or 56% of total liabilities. As of March 31, 1996,
accrued interest on the Subordinated Note was approximately $349,000, or 7% of
total liabilities. In April, 1996, a new agreement was reached between the
Company and the holder of the Subordinated Note, see "Notes to Financial
Statements, Note 7." Pursuant to the new terms, an initial payment of $200,000
and monthly principal payments of $50,000 will begin May 15, 1996. Interest will
accrue at a rate of 7.0% on the outstanding principal balance.


 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net Income

         The Company reported net income of approximately $160,000, or $.07 per
share, for the first quarter of 1996 compared to a net loss of $4.4 million, or
$2.02 per share for the first quarter of 1995. Operating income for the first
quarter of 1996 was $205,000, compared to an operating loss of $4.2 million for
the first quarter of 1995. The quarterly increase in operating income of
$700,000, exclusive of the $3.75 million charge associated with the sale of the
assets of the manufacturing operations is primarily a result of operating losses
incurred by the manufacturing operations, in the first quarter of 1995 and lower
expenses at the Company's remaining subsidiaries.

Revenues

         For the current quarter, total revenues decreased approximately
$750,000, or 21% to $2.8 million from $3.6 million in the first quarter of 1995,
primarily as a result of the loss of sales attributable to the manufacturing
operations. While net product sales at the Company's domestic subsidiary
remained relatively flat, net product sales attributable to the Company's
Canadian subsidiary increased $57,000, or 6%. Sales to the Company's
international distributors declined $30,000, or 50%. Similarly, the lower retail
sales by the international distributors contributed substantially to a 5%
decline in worldwide retail sales -- sales by franchises to their customers --
to total retail sales of $9.1 million in the first quarter of 1996. Although
there can be no assurances that sales will increase, the Company expects that
retail sales in North America will increase slightly in the latter part of the
year as a result of additional sales of franchises, new incentive programs to
Beauty Consultants, and a continued focus on guidance to franchisees.



<PAGE>



Cost of Product Sales

         Cost of product sales as a percentage of net product sales decreased to
60% for the first quarter of 1996 from 72% for the first quarter of 1995. The
decrease was primarily a result of the elimination of the negative impact by
overhead costs at the Company's manufacturing operations as a result of its sale
and improved margins as a result of negotiated discounts with certain suppliers
and increased controls in purchasing. Although no assurances can be given,
management expects this percentage to remain relatively constant throughout
1996.

Expenses

         Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $670,000 to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995 resulting from the continued
success of the cost reduction initiatives implemented in prior periods, the
elimination of expenses at the manufacturing operations, and the
non-reoccurrence of several one time charges incurred against earnings in 1995.
The cost reduction initiatives included more efficient staff levels,
consolidation of facilities, and limited use of consultants. Management will
continue to evaluate additional areas for expense reductions.

Other Income (Expense)

         The decrease in other expenses is due primarily to the reduction in
interest expense in the first quarter of 1996 as a result of the Company's
reduced outstanding debt balance. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company
entered into an agreement of sale for its office condominiums in Pennsylvania.
The Company recorded a charge of approximately $42,000 to write down these
assets to their fair market value.

Income Taxes

         The Company recorded a $15,000 benefit for income taxes for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. For the same period in 1995 the Company did not
realize any potential tax benefit.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

         At March 31, 1996, the Company held over $1.3 million in cash and cash
equivalents and had no outstanding borrowings under its $1.0 million 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 subordinated debt. Working capital increased approximately $400,000 to $4.9
million as of March 31, 1996.

         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 two years.
