NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
LIFETIME HOAN CORPORATION
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim 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 three month period
ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. 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, 1996.
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 March 31, 1997, the
Company had no borrowings and $10,194,000 of letters of credit and
trade acceptances 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. 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In February 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per
Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At
that time, the Company will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all
prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary
earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be
excluded. It is expected to have no impact on the first quarter
ended March 31, 1997 primary earnings per share and increase
primary earnings per share by $0.01 for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1996. There is no expected impact of Statement 128 on
the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these
quarters.
On February 5, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company
declared a 10% stock dividend to shareholders of record on
February 18, 1997, paid February 26, 1997. The stock dividend was
recorded at its market value, $12.00 per share. All common stock
data in the condensed consolidated financial statements gives
retroactive effect to the February 1997 stock dividend.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996
Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $21.1
million, an increase of $1.8 million or 9.5% from the comparable
1996 period. The sales growth was primarily due to net sales from
the Farberware Outlet Stores acquired in April 1996 and increased
net sales of branded products, offset by a decline in shipments
of our "impulse-purchase" product line.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $10.0
million, an increase of $0.9 million or 9.7% over the comparable
1996 period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales remained
relatively constant at 47.3% for the 1997 period as compared to
47.2% for the 1996 period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 were $7.7 million, an increase of $1.4
million or 22.4% from the comparable 1996 period. Selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were
36.7% during the 1997 period as compared to 32.8% for the 1996
period. This increase is primarily attributable to the operations
of the Farberware Outlet Stores. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales excluding the
Farberware Outlet Stores were 33.0% for the three months ended
March 31, 1997.
Net Income
Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $1.4
million, a decrease of $0.3 million or 18.6% below the comparable
quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to the
operations of the Farberware Outlet Stores.
Forward Looking Statements: This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, including statements concerning the Company's
future products, results of operations and prospects. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,
including risks relating to general economic and business
conditions, including changes which could affect customer payment
practices or consumer spending; industry trends; the loss of major
customers; changes in demand for the Company's products; the
timing of orders received from customers; cost and availability of
raw materials; increases in costs relating to manufacturing and
transportation of products; dependence on foreign sources of
supply and foreign manufacturing; and the seasonal nature of the
business as detailed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-
Q and from time to time in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such statements are based on
management's current expectations and are subject to a number of
factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to
differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements.
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. The Company is charged a
nominal fee on the entire Line. As of March 31, 1997, the Company
had no borrowings and $10,194,000 of letters of credit and trade
acceptances outstanding under the Line and, as a result, the
availability under the Line was $14,806,000. The Line is
cancelable by either party at any time.
At March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$604,000 versus $1.1 million at December 31, 1996, a decrease of
$489,000. The decrease is primarily attributable to increased
inventory levels, decreased accounts payable and trade acceptances
and repayment of borrowings, partially offset by decreased
accounts receivables.
The Company estimates capital expenditures for 1997 to be $9.0
million. These expenditures are primarily for the new state of
the art distribution facility and the implementation of a new
financial reporting system. These expenditures will be financed
from current operations and, if needed, short term borrowings.
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 long term
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.
