                 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 June 30,
     1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
     the three-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Such
     adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

     The results of operations for the three-month periods ended
     June 30, 1995 and 1994 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, 1995.  That report
     has previously been filed with the Securities and Exchange

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
     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. 

     Included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying
     consolidated balance sheets are the following amounts invested
     in the cash management program: $30,905,000 at 6.0% on June
     30, 1995 and $18,182,000 at 6.0% on March 31, 1995.

                        FINANCIAL REVIEW


Results of Operations
---------------------
Revenues decreased $6.3 million or 11% in the quarter ended June
30, 1995 in comparison with the prior year quarter. The decrease
was primarily attributable to lower shipments of automotive
division products in the United States and Canada.  Shipments of
all of the Company's principal  automotive product lines --
including protectants, wheel cleaners, wax and wash products --
were lower than in the prior year. This revenue decline reflects a
weakness in orders from the retail sector for the entire automotive
appearance industry, partially attributable to unusually wet and
cool  spring weather in many parts of North America. In addition,
certain retailers, reacting to lower consumer demand, reduced their
purchases in order to lower their inventory levels; such actions
had a further adverse impact on the Company's first quarter
shipments.  Partially offsetting the lower automotive revenues were
significantly higher shipments in the Company's home care division
due to the launch of three new products in February 1995: Armor
AlL(R) Deck Protector Waterproofing Sealer, Armor All(R)
WaterProofing Sealer and Armor All(R) Vinyl Siding Wash. 
International revenues increased mainly due to higher shipments to
Japan and the United Kingdom, partially offset by the adverse
effects of the Mexican peso devaluation. 

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 48.6% and 42.4% in
the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
higher cost percentage in the current year was due to several
factors, including higher costs of a new  formula for Armor All(R)
Protectant, increased raw materials costs, provisions for the
discontinuance of several products, and the absorption  of fixed
costs over lower automotive volume.  In addition, the higher mix of
home care products had an adverse impact since such new products
initially have lower margins due to start-up costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of
revenues was 38.8% and 37.3% in the quarters ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively.  The increase in the current quarter is
primarily due to the greater mix of home care products, which have
higher new product launch costs and other promotional expense. 
Another factor was the absorption of fixed administrative costs
over a lower  automotive sales volume. 

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 $16.7 million and $31.1 million in
the three-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
as accounts receivable were reduced from March 31 levels.  The
lower cash inflow in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 is primarily
due to higher payments for media advertising, changes in the timing
of payments for certain payables and accrued liabilities, increases
in inventory to support new products and promotions, and lower net
income.  These factors were partially offset by higher collections
of accounts receivable due to a higher accounts receivable balance
at the beginning of the current year than at the beginning of the
prior year.

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.
