NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
LIFETIME HOAN CORPORATION
Note A - Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for int
erim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six month period ended June 30,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Note B - Inventories
Merchandise inventories, principally finished goods, are
recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
market.
Note C - Line of Credit Agreement
The Company has available an unsecured $25,000,000 line of
credit with a bank (the "Line") which may be used for
short term borrowings or letters of credit. As of June 30,
1996, the Company had $12,500,000 of borrowings and $8,642,000
of letters of credit outstanding. The line is cancelable by
either party at any time. Borrowings under the Line bear
interest payable daily at a negotiated short term borrowing
rate (6.625% at June 30, 1996). The Company is charged a
nominal fee on the entire Line.
Note D - Capital Stock
Net Income Per Share: Net income per common share is based on
net income divided by the weighted average number of common
shares and equivalents outstanding during the periods.
As of June 30, 1996, 698,732 shares of Common Stock have
been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options.
Note E - Farberware Acquisition
On April 2, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets
of Farberware, Inc. ("Farberware"). Under the terms of a
joint venture agreed to by the Company and Syratech
Corporation, the Company acquired a 99 year, royalty-free,
exclusive right to use the Farberwarer name in connection
with the product lines covered by its existing license
agreement with Farberware. The Company also acquired all of
the Farberwarer outlet stores. Rights to license the
Farberwarer name for use by third parties are to be held by a
joint venture, owned equally by the Company and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Syratech Corporation. The purchase price
consists of cash of $9.5 million plus the value of the
outlet store inventory (estimated to be $3,100,000).
Note F - Subsequent Events
In July 1996, the Company issued incentive stock options
to purchase 207,000 shares of common stock at $10.725,
representing 110% of the market value at the date of the
grant, to three officers of the Company.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
Compared to Three Months ended June 30, 1995
Net SalesNet sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996
were $21.0 million, an increase of $5.4 or 34.9% from the
comparable 1995 period. The sales growth was primarily due to
net sales from the recently acquired Farberware Outlet Stores,
net sales from the new Hoffritzr line and increased sales in
the Smart Choice line. Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was
$10.1 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 38.2% over
the comparable
1995 period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
48.1% as compared to 47.0% for the 1995 period. This
increase is primarily due to a reduction of royalty
expense due to the Farberware acquisition, partially offset
by changes in product mix.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 were $7.8 million, an increase
of $2.2 million or 38.1% from the comparable 1995 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net sales were 37.2% during this three month period in
1996 as compared to 36.3% for the 1995 period. This
percentage increase is primarily attributable to the
operations of the Farberware Outlet Stores, partially offset
by a decrease in personnel related costs.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 1995
Net SalesNet sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $40.3 million, an increase of $6.0 million or 17.6%
from the comparable 1995 period. The sales growth was primarily
due to net sales from the recently acquired Farberware Outlet
Stores, net sales from the new Hoffritzr line and increased
sales in the Smart Choice line.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$19.2 million, an increase of $2.9 million or 17.6% over
the comparable
1995 period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
remained constant at 47.7% for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 were $14.1 million, an increase
of $2.3 million or 19.9% from the comparable 1995 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net sales were 35.1% during this six month period in 1996
as compared to 34.4%
for the 1995 period. This percentage increase is
primarily attributable to the operations of the Farberware
Outlet Stores, partially offset by a decrease in personnel
related costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has available an unsecured $25,000,000 line of
credit with a bank (the "Line") which may be used for
short term borrowings or letters of credit.
Borrowings under the Line bear interest payable daily at
a negotiated short term borrowing rate (6.625% at June 30,
1996). The Company is charged a nominal fee on the entire
Line. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had $12,500,000 of
borrowings and $8,642,000 of letters of credit outstanding
under the Line and, as a result, the availability under the Line
was $3,858,000. The Line is cancelable by either party at any
time.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $476,000 versus $90,000 at December 31, 1995, an
increase of $386,000. The increase is primarily attributable
to the Company's decreased accounts receivable offset by an
increase in prepaid expenses, other current assets, and other
assets.
The purchase of the Farberware acquisition was funded by
short term borrowings which were subsequently reduced by
income from operations. The purchase price consists of cash of
$9.5 million plus the value of the outlet store inventory
(estimated to be $3,100,000).
Products are sold to retailers primarily on 30-day credit
terms, and to distributors primarily on 60-day credit terms.
The Company believes that its cash and cash
equivalents,
internally generated funds and its existing credit
arrangements will be sufficient to finance its operations for
the next 12 months.
The results of operations of the Company for the periods
discussed have not been significantly affected by inflation
or foreign currency fluctuation. The Company negotiates its
purchase orders with its foreign manufacturers in United
States dollars. Thus, notwithstanding any fluctuation in
foreign currencies, the Company's cost for any purchase
order is not subject to change after the time the order is
placed. However, the weakening of the United States dollar
against local currencies could lead certain manufacturers to
increase their United States dollar prices for products. The
Company believes it would be able to compensate for any such
price increase.
