Company as of September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash

Note 4 Business Segments
- ------------------------

     The Rival Company manages its operations through four business units:
kitchen electrics and personal care (kitchen electrics), home environment,
industrial and building supply (industrial) and international. The kitchen
electrics business unit sells products including Crock-Pot(R) slow cookers,
toasters, ice cream freezers, can openers and massagers to retailers throughout
the U.S. The home environment business unit sells products including fans, air
purifiers, humidifiers, electric space heaters, utility pumps and household
ventilation to retailers throughout the U.S. The industrial group sells products
including industrial fans and drum blowers, household ventilation, ceiling fans,
door chimes and electric heaters to electrical and industrial wholesale
distributors throughout the U.S. The international business unit sells the
Company's products outside the U.S.

    The Company is reporting business segment information in accordance with the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which was issued in June
1997.

    The Rival Company evaluates performance based upon contribution margin,
which it defines as gross margin less selling expenses. Administrative functions
such as finance and management information systems are centralized and are not
allocated to the business units. The various business units share manufacturing
and distribution facilities. Costs of operating the manufacturing plants are
allocated to the business units through full-absorption standard costing and
distribution costs are allocated based upon volume shipped from each
distribution center.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Net sales were $96.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to
$99.7 million in the prior year. The sales decline was primarily in the home
environment products and resulted from later than normal shipments of seasonal
products, such as heaters, and a decline in sales of humidifiers and air
cleaners. Sales of products in the kitchen electrics business unit decreased by
2% due to delayed ordering by retailers of holiday-season products.
International sales increased by $3.3 million, due primarily to sales in Latin
America.

Gross profit was $25.6 million (26.5% of sales) for the quarter ended September
30, 1997 compared to $28.6 million (28.7% of sales) in the prior year. The
decline in gross margins as a percentage of sales was due in part, to a change
in sales mix. Sales declines of certain high margin products including novelty
massagers and air purifiers were offset by increased sales of lower margin
products including promotionally priced irons. Start-up costs related to
transferring production of major product lines including heaters, humidifiers
and air purifiers from plants closed during last year's restructuring to the
Company's other plants, also contributed to the lower margins. Evidence of
improved efficiency in plant operations and an upturn in gross margin emerged in
September, after unfavorable variances in July and August.

Selling expenses were $13.0 million (13.4% of sales) for the current quarter
compared to $13.3 million (13.4% of sales) in the prior year. The decline in
selling expenses reflects a decrease in fixed costs from the consolidation of
certain sales and administrative functions.

General and administrative expenses decreased 1.5% to $3.3 million. Substantial
savings were achieved due to the consolidation of certain administrative
functions in Canada, however, these were largely offset by increased legal and
professional expenses incurred involving the Company's intellectual property.

Interest expense increased from $2.5 million to $2.6 million due to increased
borrowings.

Net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $3.7 million ($0.39
per share) compared to $5.3 million ($0.53 per share) for the same period in the
prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 1997 the Company had $88 million in long term debt
(including $4 million current portion) and $100 million in revolving loan
commitments. Revolving credit loans outstanding were $78.2 million as of such
date. The long-term debt requires periodic principal payments including $4.0
million in January 1998 and $6.0 million in January 1999 and has a final
maturity in 2008. The revolving credit facilities include a $75 million U.S.
bank line, which expires in June 1999, and a Canadian facility for the Canadian
dollar equivalent of U.S. $10.0 million. The Company also has a $15 million
seasonal bank line, which expires on December 31, 1997. The U.S. revolving
credit facility currently bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus .75%.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company used $10.1 million
of cash for operating activities.  The Company historically requires a
significant amount of cash each fall to fund its build-up in inventories and
accounts receivable during its peak-selling season.  These cash requirements are
funded through borrowings on the working capital line.

The Company plans to make capital expenditures of approximately $8.0 million
during fiscal 1998.  Management believes that cash generated from operations and
its bank credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for
the foreseeable future.

Net Earnings Per Share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, 'Earnings Per Share' which revises the calculation and presentation
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15 and related
interpretations. Statement No. 128 is effective for the Company's quarter ending
December 31, 1997. Retroactive application will be required. The Company
believes the adoption of Statement No. 128 will not have a significant effect on
its reported earnings per share.
