                 ARMOR ALL PRODUCTS CORPORATION
                         FINANCIAL NOTES


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the
    financial position and results of operations of Armor All
    Products Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company").  In
    the opinion of the Company, these unaudited consolidated
    financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a
    fair presentation of its financial position as of September 30,
    1994 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
    the six-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Such
    adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

    The results of operations for the six-month periods ended
    September 30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of
    the results for the full years.  It is suggested that these
    consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with
    the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
    included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the
    year ended March 31, 1994.  That report has previously been
    filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit
    to the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.  CASH MANAGEMENT

    Pursuant to an agreement with McKesson, the Company's U.S.
    operations participate daily in a cash management program
    administered by McKesson.  Under this arrangement, the Company
    invests any excess cash in the cash management program and has
    unrestricted access to such invested cash to fund its operating
    disbursements.  If the Company needs additional cash above the
    amount invested, such cash requirements are met through
    borrowings from McKesson.  All amounts invested in the cash
    management program with McKesson are deposited in a separate

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenues increased $4.9 million or 13.5% in the second quarter and
increased $13.7 million or 16.4% in the six-month period.  The
increases were primarily attributable to sales in the United States
of Armor All(R) QuickSilver(TM) Wheel Cleaner, which was developed
internally by the Company and introduced in December 1993, and to
sales of Armor All(R) E-Z Deck Wash(R) Cleaner and the other home
care product lines acquired by the Company in January 1994.  United
States revenues from the Company's line of protectants, waxes,
washes and other car care products were slightly lower than in the
year-ago periods  because of softer industry-wide consumer
purchases and competitive pressures in these categories. 
International sales increased due to the Company's expansion into
new markets and the shipment of new products into existing markets.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 42.1% and 41.3% in
the quarters ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and
42.3% and 40.8% in the respective six-month periods.  The higher
cost percentages in the current year were primarily due to a shift
in the product mix, with a greater proportion of sales coming from
the new products, which have lower margins initially due to
start-up costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of
revenues was 38.7% and 37.1% in the quarters ended September 30,
1994 and 1993, respectively, and 37.9% and 38.2% in the respective
six-month periods.  The increase in the current quarter is
primarily due to a higher level of promotional spending and
start-up expenses associated with the new home care division.   The
small decrease in the current six-month period occurred because the
aforementioned costs were more than offset by a reduction in
automotive consumer promotion expenses from a heavy first quarter
promotional period a year ago.  In addition, fixed administrative
costs were absorbed over a higher sales volume in the current year.

Operating income increased $0.3 million or 3.9% in the second
quarter and $2.0 million or 12.7% in the six-month period.  Net
income increased $0.4 million or 10.6% in the second quarter and
$l.3 million or 14.0% in the six-month period.

Net income grew at a faster rate than operating income due to a
higher tax rate in the prior year as a result of the enactment in
August 1993 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which
increased the federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35%
retroactive to January 1993.  The Company's effective income tax
rates were 42.7% and 45.6% in the quarters ended September 30, 1994
and 1993, respectively, and 42.7% and 43.3% in the respective
six-month periods.

Financial Resources and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------

The Company's working capital requirements fluctuate during the
year, traditionally peaking in the spring due to extended payment
terms offered in connection with the Company's winter sales
promotional activities.  Cash inflow is strongest during the summer
months as these receivables are collected.  This pattern resulted
in cash flow from operations of $27.9 million and $29.1 million in
the six-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, as accounts receivable were reduced from March 31
levels.  The lower cash inflow in fiscal 1995, despite the higher
net income,  is largely due to a one-time purchase of inventory
from one of the Company's independent packagers in connection with
the consolidation  of certain production activities at a single
location in order to attain cost savings through economies of
scale.  In addition, the Company has incurred higher media
advertising expenditures in the current year to support the
introduction of the new automotive and home care products discussed
above.

At September 30, 1994, the Company had a total cash balance of
$46.8 million, including $39.0 million invested in the McKesson
cash management program, and no outstanding debt.  As long as the
Company continues to participate in the McKesson cash management
program, McKesson will make available to the Company the amount of
cash necessary to provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet
its needs, as defined in its annual capital and operating plans.
