              REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation" and
together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of Revlon, Inc., which is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of
MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews Holdings") a corporation wholly
owned indirectly through Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings" and, together
with MacAndrews Holdings, "MacAndrews & Forbes") by Ronald O.
Perelman.

         The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are
unaudited. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.

         The Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the
accounts of the Company after elimination of all material intercompany balances
and transactions. The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the reporting of revenues and expenses to prepare these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Unaudited
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

         The results of operations and financial position, including working
capital, for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be
expected for a full year, due, in part, to seasonal fluctuations, which are
normal for the Company's business.

         The Company matches advertising and promotion expenses with sales
revenues for interim reporting purposes. Advertising and promotion expenses
estimated for a full year are charged to earnings for interim reporting purposes
in proportion to the relationship that net sales for such period bear to
estimated full year net sales. As a result, for the first quarter of 1999 and
1998, disbursements and commitments for advertising and promotion exceeded
advertising and promotion expenses by $37.3 and $28.8, respectively, and such
amounts were deferred.

         During March 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which requires that costs
incurred during start-up activities, including organization costs, be expensed
as incurred. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

(4)  GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

         The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable
operating segment. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in social,
political and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations and the
Company's results of operations and the value of its foreign assets and
liabilities are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The
Company's operations in Brazil have accounted for approximately 4.2% and 6.1% of
the Company's net sales for the first quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Net sales by geographic area are presented by attributing revenues from external
customers on the basis of where the products are sold.

quarter of 1999 compared to $283.7 for the first quarter of 1998, a decrease of
$33.9, or 11.9%. Net sales were adversely affected by continuing adjustments in
inventory levels by retailers and slower than anticipated category growth. The
Company expects retail inventory balancing and reductions to continue to affect
sales in 1999.

         REVLON brand color cosmetics continued as the number one brand in 
dollar market share in the U.S. self-select distribution channel. New products
in the first quarter of 1999 included EVERYLASH mascara, REVLON AGE DEFYING
compact makeup, WET/DRY EYE SHADOW, products in the NEW COMPLEXION line, ALMAY
STAY SMOOTH lip makeup, ALMAY FOUNDATION with the Skin Stays Clean attributes,
SUPER LUSTROUS haircolor, products in the ALMAY ONE COAT collection and products
in the ULTIMA II BEAUTIFUL NUTRIENT and ULTIMA II FULL MOISTURE lipcolor lines.

         International. Net sales outside the United States were $191.3 for the
first quarter of 1999 compared to $214.1 for the comparable 1998 period, a
decrease of $22.8, or 10.6%, on a reported basis (a decrease of 4.5% on a
constant U.S. dollar basis). The decrease in net sales for the first quarter of
1999 on a constant dollar basis is primarily due to unfavorable economic
conditions in certain markets outside the U.S., which restrained consumer and
trade demand, and lower than expected sales in

certain markets in Europe. The decrease in net sales for the first quarter of
1999 on a reported basis reflects the unfavorable effect on sales of a stronger
U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies, particularly the Brazilian real,
and unfavorable economic conditions in several international markets. Sales
outside the United States are divided into three geographic regions. In Europe,
which is comprised of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, net sales decreased by
11.2% on a reported basis to $88.5 for the first quarter of 1999 as compared to
the first quarter of 1998 (a decrease of 9.9% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).
In the Western Hemisphere, which is comprised of Canada, Mexico, Central
America, South America and Puerto Rico, net sales decreased by 14.4% on a
reported basis to $69.7 for the first quarter of 1999 as compared to the first
quarter of 1998 (an increase of 0.7% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). The
Company's operations in Brazil are significant. In Brazil, net sales were $18.6
on a reported basis for the first quarter of 1999 compared to $30.4 for the
first quarter of 1998, a decrease of $11.8, or 38.8% (a decrease of 4.4% on a
constant U.S. dollar basis). On a reported basis, net sales in Brazil were
adversely affected by the stronger U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real. In
the Far East, net sales increased by 0.3% on a reported basis to $33.1 for the
first quarter of 1999 as compared to the first quarter of 1998 (an increase of
0.7% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). Net sales outside the United States,
including, without limitation, in Brazil, were, and may continue to be,
adversely impacted by generally weak economic conditions, political and economic
uncertainties, including, without limitation, currency fluctuations and
competitive activities in certain markets.

 Cost of sales

         As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 35.3% for the first
quarter of 1999 compared to 32.8% for the first quarter of 1998. The increase in
cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter of 1999
compared to the first quarter of 1998 is due to changes in product mix, the
effect of weaker local currencies on the cost of imported purchases by
subsidiaries outside the U.S. and the effect of lower net sales.

 SG&A expenses

         As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 61.8% for the first
quarter of 1999 compared to 61.4% for the first quarter of 1998. SG&A expenses
other than advertising and consumer-directed promotion expenses decreased to
$204.9 for the first quarter of 1999 compared to $217.6 for the first quarter of
1998 in part due to cost savings achieved from the restructuring implemented in
the fourth quarter of 1998. The Company's advertising and consumer-directed
promotion expenditures were incurred to support existing product lines, new
product launches and increased distribution. Advertising and consumer-directed
promotion expenses were $67.7 and $87.9 for the first quarters of 1999 and
1998, respectively.

 Business consolidation costs and other, net

         In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a restructuring
plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real estate, realign
and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing
operations and exit certain product lines. In the first quarter of 1999, the
Company recorded a net charge of $8.2 relating to such restructuring plan,
principally for additional employee severance and other personnel benefits. By
March 31, 1999, the Company had terminated 694 employees of the 720 employees
included in the fourth quarter 1998 charge and an additional 22 employees in the
first quarter of 1999.

 Operating income

         As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased to $4.6 for
the first quarter of 1999 from $29.0 for the first quarter of 1998.

                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

 Other expenses/income

         Interest expense was $35.9 for the first quarter of 1999 compared to
$36.7 for the first quarter of 1998. The decrease is primarily due to a
non-recurring interest charge associated with the refinancings in 1998,
partially offset by higher average outstanding debt and higher interest rates
under the Company's Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

         The foreign currency losses, net of $1.5 in the first quarter of 1998
were comprised primarily of losses in several markets in Europe and Latin
America.

 Provision for income taxes

         The provision for income taxes was $1.9 and $3.7 for the first quarters
of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
taxable income outside the United States in the first quarter of 1999.

 Discontinued operations

         During 1998, the Company determined to exit the retail and outlet store
business comprised of its 85% ownership interest in The Cosmetic Center, Inc.
("CCI") and accordingly, the results of operations of CCI have been reported as
discontinued operations for the 1998 periods. By the end of 1998, the Company
completed the disposition of its approximately 85% equity interest in CCI.

 Extraordinary items

         The extraordinary item of $38.2 in the first quarter of 1998 resulted
primarily from the write-off of deferred financing costs and payment of call
premiums associated with the redemption in March 1998 of the 10 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes").

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities was $18.9 and
$(20.7) for the first quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in
net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 1999 compared
with the net cash used in the first quarter of 1998 resulted primarily from
improved working capital management, partially offset by lower operating income
and cash used for business consolidation costs in the first quarter of 1999.

         Net cash used for investing activities was $8.2 and $7.4 for the first
quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively, and in both periods consisted primarily
of capital expenditures.

         Net cash (used for) provided by financing activities was $(6.6) and
$28.0 for the first quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net cash used for
financing activities for the first quarter of 1999 included repayments of
borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement and repayments under the
Company's Japanese yen-denominated credit agreement (the "Yen Credit Agreement")
partially offset by cash drawn under the Credit Agreement. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the first quarter of 1998 included proceeds from the
issuance of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "8 5/8% Notes")
and cash drawn under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by the payment of
fees and expenses related to the issuance of the 8 5/8% Notes, the redemption of
the Senior Subordinated Notes and the repayment of borrowings under the Yen
Credit Agreement. During the first quarter of 1998, net cash used by
discontinued operations was $2.2.

         In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into a credit agreement (as
subsequently amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders, whose
individual members change from time to time. The proceeds of loans made under
the Credit Agreement were used for the purpose of repaying the loans outstanding
under the credit agreement in effect at that time and to redeem Products
Corporation's 10 7/8% Sinking Fund Debentures due 2010 and were and will be 
used for general corporate purposes and, in the case of the Acquisition Facility
(as hereinafter defined), the financing of acquisitions. The Credit Agreement
provides up to $749.0 and is comprised of five senior secured facilities: $199.0
in two term loan facilities (the "Term Loan Facilities"), a $300.0
multi-currency facility (the "Multi-Currency Facility"), a $200.0 revolving
acquisition facility, which may also be used for

general corporate purposes and which may be increased to $400.0 under certain
circumstances with the consent of a majority of the lenders (the "Acquisition
Facility"), and a $50.0 special standby letter of credit facility (the "Special
LC Facility"). At March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $199.0
outstanding under the Term Loan Facilities, $58.8 outstanding under the
Multi-Currency Facility, $2.0 outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and
$29.1 of issued but undrawn letters of credit under the Special LC Facility. In
connection with the issuance of the 9% Notes (as hereinafter defined), Products
Corporation agreed that until the 1999 Notes (as hereinafter defined) are
refinanced, $200.0 of the Multi-Currency Facility available under the Credit
Agreement (reduced by the amount of 1999 Notes actually repurchased or
refinanced, none of which had been so repurchased or refinanced as of March 31,
1999), which would otherwise be available for working capital purposes, will be
used solely to refinance the 1999 Notes.

         A subsidiary of Products Corporation is the borrower under the Yen
Credit Agreement, which had a principal balance of approximately yen 1.0
billion as of March 31, 1999 (approximately $8.6 U.S. dollar equivalent as of
March 31, 1999) after giving effect to the payment of approximately yen 539
million (approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent) in March 1999. Approximately
yen 539 million (approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent as of March 31, 1999)
is due in March 2000 and approximately yen 474 million (approximately
$4.0 U.S. dollar equivalent as of March 31, 1999) is due on December 31, 2000.

         Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to
time to supplement its working capital borrowings at interest rates more
favorable to Products Corporation than interest rates under the Credit
Agreement. No such borrowings were outstanding as of March 31, 1999.

         The Company's principal sources of funds are expected to be cash flow
generated from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement,
refinancings and other existing working capital lines. The Credit Agreement, the
9 1/2/% Senior Notes due 1999 (the "1999 Notes"), the 8 5/8% Notes, the 8 1/8%
Senior Notes due 2006 (the "8 1/8% Notes") and the 9% Senior Notes due 2006 (the
"9% Notes") contain certain provisions that by their terms limit Products
Corporation's and/or its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur
additional debt. The Company's principal uses of funds are expected to be the
payment of operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, expenses in connection with the Company's restructuring referred
to above and debt service payments (including purchase and repayment of the 1999
Notes).

         The Company estimates that capital expenditures for 1999 will be
approximately $60, including upgrades to the Company's management information
systems. The Company estimates that cash payments related to the restructuring
plans referred to above will be approximately $45, of which approximately $32
will be paid in 1999. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, Products Corporation
may be required to make tax sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. (which in turn may
be required to make tax sharing payments to Mafco Holdings Inc.) as if Products
Corporation were filing separate income tax returns, except that no payments are
required by Products Corporation (or Revlon, Inc.) if and to the extent that
Products Corporation is prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making tax
sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. The Credit Agreement prohibits Products
Corporation from making any tax sharing payments other than in respect of state
and local income taxes. Products Corporation currently anticipates that, as a
result of net operating tax losses and prohibitions under the Credit Agreement,
no cash federal tax payments or cash payments in lieu of federal taxes pursuant
to the tax sharing agreement will be required for 1999.

         Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts and
option contracts from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated in
foreign currencies. Products Corporation had forward foreign exchange contracts
denominated in various currencies of approximately $112.7 and $45.1 (U.S. dollar
equivalent) outstanding at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and option
contracts of approximately $37.5 and $75.8 outstanding at March 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. Such contracts are entered into to hedge transactions
predominantly occurring within twelve months. If Products Corporation had
terminated these contracts on March 31, 1999 and 1998 no material gain or loss
would have been realized.

         Based upon the Company's current level of operations and anticipated
growth in net sales and earnings, the Company expects that cash flows from
operations and funds from currently available credit facilities and refinancings
of existing indebtedness will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its
anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future on a consolidated
basis, including for debt service (including refinancing the 1999 Notes).
However, there can be no assurance that cash flow from operations and funds from
existing credit facilities and refinancings of existing indebtedness will be
sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements on a consolidated basis. If
the Company is unable to satisfy such cash requirements, the Company could be
required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying capital
expenditures, restructuring indebtedness, selling assets or operations, or
seeking capital contributions or loans from Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates of
the Company. There can be no assurance that any of such actions could be
effected, that they would enable the Company to continue

to satisfy its capital requirements or that they would be permitted under the
terms of the Company's various debt instruments then in effect. The terms of the
Credit Agreement, the 1999 Notes, the 8 5/8% Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes and the 9%
Notes generally restrict Products Corporation from paying dividends or making
distributions, except that Products Corporation is permitted to pay dividends
and make distributions to Revlon, Inc., among other things, to enable Revlon,
Inc. to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including,
among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting, regulatory
fees such as Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") filing fees
and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding company and
to pay dividends or make distributions in certain circumstances to finance the
purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the
delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under the Revlon, Inc. Second
Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan, provided that the aggregate amount of such
dividends and distributions taken together with any purchases of Revlon, Inc.
common stock on the open market to satisfy matching obligations under the excess
savings plan may not exceed $6.0 per annum.

YEAR 2000

         Commencing in 1997, the Company undertook a business process
enhancement program to substantially upgrade management information technology
systems in order to provide comprehensive order processing, production and
accounting support for the Company's business. The Company also developed a
comprehensive plan to address Year 2000 issues. The Year 2000 plan addresses
three main areas: (a) information technology systems; (b) non-information
technology systems (including factory equipment, building systems and other
embedded systems); and (c) business partner readiness (including without
limitation customers, inventory and non-inventory suppliers, service suppliers,
banks, insurance companies and tax and other governmental agencies). To oversee
the process, the Company has established a Steering Committee comprised of
senior executives of the Company.

         In connection with and as part of the Company's business process
enhancement program, certain information technology systems have been and will
continue to be upgraded to be Year 2000 compliant. In addition, as part of its
Year 2000 plan, the Company has identified potential deficiencies related to
Year 2000 in certain of its information technology systems, both hardware and
software, and is in the process of addressing them through upgrades and other
remediation. The Company currently expects to complete upgrade and remediation
and testing of its information systems by the third quarter of 1999. In respect
of non-information technology systems with date sensitive operating controls,
the Company is in the process of identifying those items which may require
remediation or replacement, and has commenced an upgrade and remediation program
for systems identified as Year 2000 non-compliant. The Company expects to
complete remediation or replacement and testing of these by the third quarter of
1999. The Company has identified and contacted and continues to identify and
contact key suppliers, both inventory and non-inventory, key customers and other
strategic business partners, such as banks, pension trust managers and marketing
data suppliers, either by soliciting written responses to questionnaires and/or
by meeting with certain of such third parties. The parties from whom the Company
has received responses to date generally have indicated that their systems are
or will be Year 2000 compliant.

         The Company does not expect that incremental out-of-pocket costs of its
Year 2000 program (which do not include costs incurred in connection with the
Company's comprehensive business process enhancement program) will be material.
These costs are expected to continue to be incurred through fiscal 1999 and
include the cost of third party consultants, remediation of existing computer
software and replacement and remediation of embedded systems.

         The Company believes that at the current time it is difficult to
identify specifically the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario.
As with all manufacturers and distributors of products such as those sold by the
Company, a reasonable worst case scenario would be the result of failures of
third parties (including, without limitation, governmental entities and entities
with which the Company has no direct involvement, as well as the Company's
suppliers of goods and services and customers) that continue for more than a
brief period in various geographic areas where the Company's products are
produced or sold at retail or in areas from which the Company's raw materials
and components are sourced. In connection with functions that represent a
particular Year 2000 risk, including the production, warehousing and
distribution of products and the supply of raw materials and components, the
Company is considering various contingency plans. Continuing failures in key
geographic areas in the United States and in certain European, South American
and Asian countries that limit the Company's ability to produce products, its
customers' ability to purchase and pay for the Company's products and/or
consumers' ability to shop, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations and financial condition, although it would
be expected that at least part of any lost sales eventually would be recouped.
The extent of such deferred or lost revenue cannot be estimated at this time.

                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)


         The Company's Year 2000 efforts are ongoing and its overall plan, as
well as the consideration of contingency plans, will continue to evolve as new
information becomes available. While the Company currently anticipates
continuity of its business activities, that continuity will be dependent upon
its ability, and the ability of third parties upon which the Company relies
directly, or indirectly, to be Year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance
that the Company and such third parties will eliminate potential Year 2000
issues in a timely manner or as to the ultimate cost to the Company of doing so.

EURO CONVERSION

         As part of the European Economic and Monetary Union, a single currency
(the "Euro") will replace the national currencies of the principal European
countries (other than the United Kingdom) in which the Company conducts business
and manufacturing. The conversion rates between the Euro and the participating
nations' currencies were fixed as of January 1, 1999, with the participating
national currencies being removed from circulation between January 1, 2002 and
June 30, 2002 and replaced by Euro notes and coinage. During the transition
period from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2001, public and private
entities as well as individuals may pay for goods and services using checks,
drafts, or wire transfers denominated either in the Euro or the participating
country's national currency. Under the regulations governing the transition to a
single currency, there is a "no compulsion, no prohibition" rule which states
that no one can be prevented from using the Euro after January 1, 2002 and no
one is obliged to use the Euro before July 2002. In keeping with this rule, the
Company expects to either continue using the national currencies or the Euro for
invoicing or payments. Based upon the information currently available, the
Company does not expect that the transition to the Euro will have a material
adverse effect on the business or consolidated financial condition of the
Company.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company has exposure to market risk both as a result of changing
interest rates and movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's
policy is to manage market risk through a combination of fixed and floating rate
debt, the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign exchange forward
and option contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments
for trading purposes. The qualitative and quantitative information presented in
Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998 describe significant aspects of the Company's financial instrument
programs which have material market risk. As of March 31, 1999 there have been
no material changes in the qualitative and quantitative information presented
at December 31, 1998.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
as well as other public documents of the Company contain forward-looking
statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results
may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements.
Such statements include, without limitation, the Company's expectations and
estimates as to introduction of new products and expansion into markets, future
financial performance, including growth in net sales and earnings, the effect on
sales of retail inventory balancing and reductions, the effect on sales of
political and/or economic conditions and competitive activities in certain
markets, the Company's estimate of restructuring activities, costs and benefits,
cash flow from operations, information systems upgrades, the Company's plan to
address the Year 2000 issue, the costs associated with the Year 2000 issue and
the results of Year 2000 non-compliance by the Company or by one or more of the
Company's customers, suppliers or other strategic business partners, capital
expenditures, the Company's qualitative and quantitative estimates as to market
risk sensitive instruments, the Company's expectations about the effects of the
transition to the Euro, the availability of funds from currently available
credit facilities and refinancings of indebtedness, and capital contributions or
loans from Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates of the Company or the sale of assets
or operations and Revlon, Inc.'s intent with respect to its review of strategic
alternatives. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements
about the Company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of
forward-looking language, such as "believe," "expects," "may," "will," "should,"
"seeks," "plans," "scheduled to," "anticipates" or "intends" or the negative of
those terms, or other variations of those terms or comparable language, or by
discussions of strategy or intentions. Forward-looking statements speak only as
of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update
them. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. In addition to
factors that may be described in the Company's filings with the Commission,
including this filing, the following factors, among others, could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements made by the Company: (i) difficulties or

any transaction in connection therewith.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. The effect of adopting
the statement and the date of such adoption by the Company have not yet been
determined. The Company must adopt this new standard by January 1, 2000.
