STOCK OPTION PLANS

         In May 1991, the Company  adopted the 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "1991
Plan"),  which was approved by  stockholders  in August 1991; in July 1992,  the
Company adopted the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"),  which was adopted
by the  stockholders  in October 1992; in August 1995,  the Company  adopted the
1995 Stock  Option Plan (the "1995  Plan"),  which the  Company  amended in July
1996, and which was approved by  stockholders  in September  1996; in July 1996,
the Company  adopted the 1996 Stock  Option  Plan (the "1996  Plan"),  which was
approved by stockholders in September 1996; and the Company amended and restated
the 1991 Plan, the 1992 Plan, the 1995 Plan and the 1996 Plan (collectively, the
"Plans") as of October  1996.  The  Company  amended the 1996 Plan in July 1999,
which was approved by stockholders in September 1999. The 1991 Plan provides for
the grant of options  to  purchase  an  aggregate  of 650,000  shares of Class A
Common Stock.  To date,  options to purchase  623,475 of the 650,000 shares have
been  granted  under  the 1991  Plan.  The 1992 Plan  provides  for the grant of
options to key employees of the Company to purchase an aggregate  500,000 shares
of the Company's Class B Common Stock.  To date,  options to purchase all of the
500,000 shares have been granted under the 1992 Plan. The 1995 Plan provides for
the grant of non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of
the  Company's  Class B Common  Stock.  To date,  options to purchase all of the
500,000 shares have been granted under the 1995 Plan. The 1996 Plan provides for
the grant of  options  to  purchase  an  aggregate  of  2,000,000  shares of the
Company's  Class A Common Stock. To date,  options to purchase  1,307,595 of the
2,000,000 shares have been granted under the 1996 Plan.

         The  Plans  are each  administered  by a Stock  Option  Committee  (the
"Committee")  approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The  Committee
has the  authority  under the Plans to  determine  the terms of options  granted
under such Plan,  including,  among  other  things,  the  individuals  who shall
receive  options,  the times when they shall receive them,  whether an incentive
stock option and/or  non-qualified stock option shall be granted,  the number of
shares to be  subject  to each  option  and the date each  option  shall  become
exercisable.  Options  granted  under the Plans may be  designated as "incentive
stock  options,"  under  Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended, or non-qualified options, which do not meet such requirements.

         The Committee may set the exercise price for the options, which must be
at least 100% of the fair market  value of the Common Stock on the date of grant
(or, in the case of an incentive  stock  option  granted to an optionee who owns
stock  possessing  more than 10% of the  voting  power of the  Company's  Common
Stock, 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant).

<PAGE>

         The  Committee  may also set the period during which each option may be
exercised which shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant (or in the case
of an incentive stock option granted to a stockholder who owns stock  possessing
more than 10% of the voting power of the Common Stock,  five years from the date
of grant).  The Plans also provide that each  employee who is an optionee  shall
agree to remain in the  employ of the  Company  for a term of at least one year.
The 1991 Plan will  terminate on May 29, 2001,  the 1992 Plan will  terminate on
July 9, 2002,  the 1995 Plan will  terminate  on July 31, 2005 and the 1996 Plan
will terminate on July 9, 2006.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' OPTIONS

         Each  non-employee  director  (as defined in the 1996 Plan),  upon each
election as a director of the  Company,  is granted an option to purchase  5,000
shares of Class A Common Stock under the 1996 Plan.  The Committee does not have
any  discretion   with  respect  to  the  selection  of  directors  who  receive
Non-Employee  Director  Options  or the  amount,  the price or the  timing  with
respect thereto; and such Non-Employee Directors may not receive any other award
under the 1996 Plan. The exercise price of such Non-Employee  Director Option is
the fair market  value of the  underlying  shares of Class A Common Stock on the
date of grant, payable in cash. The options have a term of five years and may be
exercised at any time during such term.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         The Company purchases from and, on occasion,  sells to various entities
that are controlled by the family of Victor  Jacobs,  the Chairman of the Board.
During the fiscal year ended March 31,  2000,  the  Company  purchased  products
aggregating  $12.2  million  from these  parties  and sold no  products to these
parties.  The Company believes that these purchases were made on terms that were
at least as favorable to the Company as those that could have been obtained from
unrelated third parties.

         In April  1999 the  Company  sold a  majority  interest  in its  former
subsidiary  The  Fragrance  Counter,  Inc.,  an  internet  retailer  of prestige
fragrances and cosmetics.  In this transaction,  the Company sold  approximately
2.7 million shares of Series A preferred  stock of The Fragrance  Counter for an
aggregate  purchase  price of $12.9  million of which $4.0  million was paid in
cash and $8.9  million is to be paid  under  promissory  notes  that  become due
within one year from closing.  The Fragrance  Counter issued  approximately  5.3
million  additional shares of Series A preferred stock for an aggregate of $25.0
million in cash. As a result of this transaction, the Company's ownership of The
Fragrance Counter was reduced from approximately 83% to approximately 13% of the
shares  of its  capital  stock.  On the  closing  date of this  transaction,  in
addition to the $4.0 million  received as the cash portion of the purchase price
of the  Company's  shares,  the Company  received  $7.3 million in cash from The
Fragrance  Counter as repayment of loans  previously  made. The Company  entered
into a services and supply agreement with The Fragrance  Counter under which the
Company has agreed to supply The Fragrance  Counter with  fragrances,  cosmetics
and upscale health and beauty  products as well as supply The Fragrance  Counter
with services which include warehousing,  order processing,  receiving, etc. for
150 days from the date of closing.  This  agreement  has been  extended  through
October 2000. In consideration for the services provided,  The Fragrance Counter
pays 25% above the Company's  actual cost for providing such  services.  Each of
Victor Jacobs,  Herman Jacobs and Jack Jacobs are  shareholders of The Fragrance
Counter.

         In April 2000,  the Company was  notified  that the makers of the notes
would not honor their  obligation.  As a result,  the  Company  sent a notice of
default  requesting  either  payment  of the  notes  or a  private  sale  of the
collateral  which consists of 1,816,239  shares of  ibeauty.com  common stock, a
privately held internet company, which is the successor to The Fragrance Counter
Inc. The Company has recorded a valuation  allowance of $8,500,000  equal to the
face value of the notes. As a result of the sale, the Company  recognized a gain
of $8,432,401 net of taxes in fiscal 2000, after the provision for the valuation
allowance.

         On December 23, 1999, the Company loaned $138,460 to David Shamilzadeh.
The loan  is  due  on  December 31, 2000 and bears interest at 9% per annum. On
January 4, 2000,  the Company loaned  $535,135.33 to each of Victor, Herman and
Jack Jacobs.  The  loan  is due  on January 4, 2003 and bears interst at 9% per
annum.

         It has been and will continue to be the Company's policy that
transactions between the Company and its directors,  principal  stockholders and
affiliates  be on terms no less  favorable to the Company than could be obtained
from unaffiliated persons.
