                 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 December 31, 1993 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992.  Such adjustments were of a normal
recurring nature.

     The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992 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, 1993.  That report has previously been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.


2.   PARENT COMPANY
- --------------------

     The Company is a subsidiary of McKesson Corporation
("McKesson").  During the nine-month period ended December 31,
1993, McKesson sold 5,175,000 of its shares of the Company's common
stock in a registered secondary offering and donated 250,000 shares
to the McKesson Foundation.  These transactions reduced McKesson's
equity interest in the Company from 83% to 57%.


3.   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 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 bank account in the Company's name,
which is used for cash management program transactions.

                        FINANCIAL REVIEW



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

     Revenues increased $2.5 million or 8.0% in the quarter ended
December 31, 1993 from the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

This increase was primarily due to higher revenues in Canada, Asia
and Latin America, including certain favorable year-end pricing
settlements in connection with the international distribution
agreement with S. C. Johnson.  Sales in the United States increased
moderately from the prior year quarter due to revenues from three
new products: Armor All-R Low-Gloss Protectant-TM, Armor All-R
QuickSilver-TM Wheel Cleaner and Armor All-R Spot & Wash-TM
Concentrate.

     Revenues increased $8.9 million or 8.3% in the nine months
ended December 31, 1993 from the corresponding period of the prior
year.  Sales in the United States were higher due to revenues from
the three new products mentioned above, as well as to the continued
strong growth of Armor All-R Tire Foam-TM Protectant and sales of
Rain Dance-R Light and Dark Car Formula Polishes.  In addition,
international sales increased due to higher revenues from all of
the Company's principal foreign markets:  Canada, Europe, Asia,
Latin America and Australia.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 41.5% and 41.9%
in the quarters ended December 31,1993 and 1992, respectively, and
41.0% in each of the respective nine-month periods.  The decrease
in the current  quarter  was primarily attributable to the effect
of the aforementioned pricing settlements in connection with the
international distribution agreement with S.C. Johnson.  For the
nine-month period, these settlements were offset primarily by a
lower-margin product mix and increased shipments of certain
promotional items.

     Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of
revenues was 39.2% in each of the quarters ended December 31, 1993
and 1992, and 38.5% and 39.4% in the respective nine-month periods.

The decrease in the nine-month period is primarily due to the
absorption of media advertising and fixed administrative expenses
over a higher sales volume.  Partially offsetting these factors was
the implementation of several new consumer promotion programs.

     Amortization of intangible assets decreased $0.3 million in
the quarter ended December 31, 1993 and $0.9 million in the
nine-month period as certain intangibles became fully amortized.

     The effective income tax rate was 43.1% and 41.9% in the
quarters ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and 43.2%

                        FINANCIAL REVIEW



and 41.9% in the respective nine-month periods.  The higher
effective rates in the current year principally reflect the
enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which
increased the federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35%
retroactive to January 1993.



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 winter sales promotional
activities.  Cash inflow is strongest during the summer months as
these receivables are collected.  Reflecting these seasonal
factors, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $53.2 million
with no outstanding debt at December 31, 1993.

     This pattern resulted in cash flow from operations of $31.7
million and $37.2 million in the nine-month periods ended December
31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, as accounts receivable were
reduced from March 31 levels.  Despite higher net income in the
current  period,  operating cash flow was lower primarily due to
the timing of payments for income taxes and  certain advertising
and selling expenses.

     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 meets its needs as defined in its annual
capital and operating plans.  The Company does not anticipate
borrowing any funds from McKesson during the remainder of this
fiscal year.
