3.   ACQUISITIONS

     On January 2, 1996, the Company purchased substantially all the assets 
and assumed certain liabilities of Seatt Corporation ("Seatt"), a leading 
designer, manufacturer and distributor of a broad range of safety related 
electronic products for residential and commercial applications.  The Seatt 
acquisition, which was accounted for under the purchase method, was completed 
for approximately $64,982 including fees and expenses and was financed 
through borrowings under the Company Credit Agreement, and assumption of 
certain liabilities in the amount of $7,157 by the Company.  The results of 
operations of Seatt have been  included in the consolidated financial 
statements from the date of acquisition.  In connection with the preliminary 
purchase price allocation of the Seatt acquisition, the Company recorded 
goodwill of approximately $37,821.  The Company is amortizing this amount 
over 40 years.

     On February 28, 1996, the Company and Butagaz S.N.C. ("Butagaz"), a 
subsidiary of Societe de Petroles Shell S.A., jointly announced they had 
entered into an agreement in connection with the sale to Coleman of 60 
percent of the outstanding shares of Application des Gaz, S.A. ("ADG" or 
"Camping Gaz") at a price of French Franc 404 per share (approximately $81 
per share at the then current exchange rate) or approximately $58,000 in the 
aggregate.  Coleman has the right to purchase the balance of Butagaz' 10 
percent economic interest at a later date at the same price per share of 
French Franc 404, with Butagaz retaining a seat on the board of ADG. The 
transaction is subject to several conditions and once these have been 
satisfied, the purchase of the remaining 30 percent of the outstanding shares 
of Camping Gaz held by ADG public shareholders shall be proposed through a 
tender offer at the same price of French Franc 404 per share. The Company 
expects the conditions to the acquisition will be satisfied and expects to 
complete the acquisition of Camping Gaz late in the second quarter of 1996.  
Camping Gaz has a significant presence in the market for camping equipment in 
Europe and has recently pursued its development internationally.  The Company's
current intention is to finance the Camping Gaz acquisition through a private
placement issuance of approximately $160,000 aggregate principal amount senior
notes due in 2008.  The Company is currently in the process of reviewing its 
integration alternatives with respect to the combination of the business 
operations of Coleman and Camping Gaz.  The conclusions of the review could 
result in a charge against earnings in 1996.

4.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On April 30, 1996, the Company amended the Company Credit Agreement to 
revise several of the terms and provisions of the Company Credit Agreement 
and to allow for the issuance of additional long-term notes. The Company 
Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for (a) an unsecured French Franc term 
loan in the amount of French Franc 385,125 ($75,000 at the then current 
exchange rates) and (b) an unsecured revolving credit facility of $275,000.  
The Company Credit Agreement, as amended, is available to the Company until 
April 30, 2001.

     The outstanding loans under the Company Credit Agreement bear interest 
at either of the following rates, as selected by the Company from time to 
time:  (i) the higher of the agent's base lending rate or the federal funds 
rate plus .50% or (ii) the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a 
margin ranging from .25% to 1.1% based on the Company's financial 
performance. If there is a default, the interest rate otherwise in effect 
will be increased by 2% per annum and the margin will be 1.0% in the case of 
U.S. Dollar denominated LIBOR loans and 1.1% for foreign currency denominated 
LIBOR loans. The Company Credit Agreement also bears an overall facility fee 
ranging from .15% to .375% based on the Company's financial performance.

                                 (Unaudited)




     The amended Company Credit Agreement contains various restrictive 
covenants, including without limitation, requirements for the maintenance of 
specified financial ratios and levels of consolidated net worth and certain 
other provisions limiting the incurrence of additional debt, purchase or 
redemption of Coleman Common Stock, issuance of Coleman Preferred Stock, and 
the payment of dividends.  Under the most restrictive of these covenants of 
the amended Company Credit Agreement, approximately $69,860 would have been 
available for payment by the Company of cash dividends at March 31, 1996.

     In connection with the amending and restating of the Company's previous 
credit agreement, the Company  will recognize an extraordinary loss of 
approximately $1,078 ($652 after taxes, or $0.03 per share) in the quarter 
ended June 30, 1996, which represents a write-off of the related unamortized 
financing costs associated with the Company's previous credit agreement.

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

     Coleman Holdings and Coleman Worldwide are holding companies with no 
business operations or source of income of their own.  Accordingly, except as 
otherwise indicated, the following discussion relates to the results of 
operations of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net revenues in the 1996 and 1995 periods were $273.6 million and $224.0 
million, respectively, an increase of $49.6 million, or 22.1%.  All classes 
of the Company's products contributed to this increase with recreation 
products increasing by $15.2 million, hardware/home center products 
contributing $16.5 million, and  the Company's new class of home safety and 
security products recording revenues of $17.9 million.  Net revenues in the 
United States and Canada increased 24.7%, and net revenues from international 
markets increased 14.3%.

     Recreation products revenues reflect strong growth in sleeping bags, 
tents and camping accessories and along with sales of Sierra camp furniture 
products, a business acquired in July 1995, helped offset a decline in 
revenues from cooler and jugs which is primarily attributable to a large 
thermo-electric cooler premium promotion in the 1995 period which was not 
repeated in 1996.  The increase in sales of the Company's hardware/home 
center products include strong sales of generators as a result of the winter 
weather and continued growth in pressure washer revenues as the overall 
pressure washer market continues to grow and become more competitive.  Total 
revenues in the 1996 period also include revenues from home safety and 
security products associated with the Seatt business, which was acquired in 
January 1996. Seatt revenues exceeded expectations and were up when compared 
to Seatt's respective period in 1995.   International revenues were adversely 
affected by the unfavorable translation of foreign revenues, primarily in 
Japan, due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the 1996 period as 
compared to the 1995 period.

     Cost of sales was $192.6 million in 1996 compared with $155.5 million in 
1995, an increase of 23.8%.  Cost of sales as a percent of net revenues 
increased to 70.4% in 1996 from 69.4% in 1995.  The increase in cost of sales 
as a percent of net revenues is primarily because of the effects of the mix 
of products sold, as revenues from lower margin products, primarily electric 
pressure washers, grew faster than other categories of products which carry 
higher margins.

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $46.7 million 
in 1996 compared to $39.6 million in 1995, an increase of 18.0%.  SG&A 
expenses as a percent of net revenues improved to 17.1% in 1996 from 17.7% in 
1995 as revenues grew faster than the growth in SG&A expenses.  The increase 
in SG&A expenses primarily reflects SG&A expenses associated with recent 
business acquisitions and to a lesser extent increased advertising, marketing 
and administrative expenses.

     The Company's interest expense was $8.1 million in 1996 compared with 
$5.6 million in 1995, an increase of $2.5 million. This increase was 
primarily the result of higher borrowings to fund business acquisitions and 
support the increase in working capital.  On an unconsolidated basis, Coleman 
Worldwide had an additional $3.0 million of interest expense in 1996 compared 
with $2.8 million in 1995, an increase of $0.2 million.  This increase is a 
result of the effects of compounding interest related to the LYONs.  In 
addition, Coleman Holdings, on an unconsolidated basis, had $5.9 million of 
interest expense in 1996 compared with $5.3 million in 1995, an increase of 
$0.6 million.  This increase is a result of the effects of compounding 
interest related to the Discount Notes.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, holders of LYONs with a 
principal amount at maturity of $9.4 million elected to exchange such LYONs 
pursuant to the terms of the LYONs indenture.  In connection 



                                     9


<PAGE>

                     COLEMAN HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


with these exchanges, Coleman Worldwide delivered 74,107 shares of Coleman 
Common Stock that Coleman Worldwide owned to the holders of the LYONs which 
were exchanged. Coleman Worldwide recognized a gain of $2.7 million in 
connection with these exchanges and which is reflected in other income.  
Coleman Worldwide also recognized an extraordinary loss on early extinguishment
of debt as a result of the LYONs exchange in an amount of $1.0 million ($0.6 
million after tax).  This extraordinary loss represents i) the excess fair 
value of the property delivered by Coleman Worldwide to the holders of the 
LYONs which were exchanged over the accreted value of the LYONs obligations 
at the time of the exchange, along with ii) a pro-rata portion of the related
unamortized financing costs associated with the LYONs issuance.

     Minority interest represents the minority stockholders' proportionate 
share of the results of operations of the Company, which is reflected on 
Coleman Holdings' consolidated financial statements because of Coleman 
Holding' approximate 83% ownership of Coleman's common stock.  Minority 
interest increased in 1996 due to an increase in the Company's income in 1996.

     The Company's effective income tax rate was 37.0% in 1996 compared with 
38.4% in 1995. Coleman Holdings' consolidated effective income tax rate was 
37.8% in 1996 compared with 39.1% in 1995. In each case, the decrease in the 
effective tax rate in 1996 as compared to 1995 is primarily due to tax 
benefits associated with the Company's manufacturing operations in Puerto 
Rico.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flows used in Coleman Holdings' consolidated operations were $92.8 
million and $60.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  Cash used during these periods reflects the Company's seasonal 
working capital requirements associated with generally higher sales in the 
first quarter of the year as compared to the fourth quarter of the year. 
Receivables increased by $84.7 million and $67.1 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, as a result of the seasonality 
of the Company's sales and an increase in the overall level of the Company's 
sales. Inventories increased by $28.4 million in the three months ended March 
31, 1996 to support the growth of the Company, especially in the camping 
accessory and lighting products.  Coleman Holdings'  net cash used for 
investing activities was $66.8 million and $16.1 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Company's capital 
expenditures were $6.9 million and $5.6 million in the three months ended 
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Company used $60.1 million of 
cash for a business acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 1996. 
The increase in capital expenditures reflects the addition of equipment to 
expand the Company's capacity to manufacture certain of its products lines.  
Net advances to Mafco Holdings Inc. under the Coleman Worldwide tax sharing 
agreement and the terms of the LYONs trust indenture were $10.7 million 
during the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Net cash provided by financing 
activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996 consisted primarily of 
increases in long-term and short-term borrowings to finance the seasonal 
increase in working capital and the Company's investing activities.

     The Company's working capital requirements are currently funded by cash 
flow from operations and domestic and foreign bank lines of credit.  In April 
1996, the Company amended its previous credit agreement to allow for the 
Camping Gaz acquisition as well as to extend the maturity of the credit 
agreement (the "Company Credit Agreement").  The Company Credit Agreement 
provides a term loan of French Franc 385,125 ($75.0 million at the then 
current exchange rates) and a revolving credit facility in an amount of 
$275.0 million. Availability under the Company Credit Agreement is reduced by 
any commercial paper borrowings outstanding.  The Company Credit Agreement is 
available to the Company until April 30, 2001.  At March 31, 1996, $70.7 
million would have been available for borrowings under the Company Credit 
Agreement.

     The outstanding loans under the Company Credit Agreement bear interest 
at either of the following rates, as selected by the Company from time to 
time:  (i) the higher of the agent's base lending rate or the federal funds



                                     10

rate plus .50% or (ii) the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a 
margin ranging from .25% to 1.1% based on the Company's financial 
performance. If there is a default, the interest rate otherwise in effect 
will be increased by 2% per annum and the margin will be 1.0% for in the case 
of U.S. Dollar denominated LIBOR loans and 1.1% for foreign currency 
denominated LIBOR loans. The Company Credit Agreement also bears an overall 
facility fee ranging from .15% to .375% based on the Company's financial 
performance.

     The Company Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, 
including without limitation, requirements for the maintenance of specified 
financial ratios and levels of consolidated net worth and certain other 
provisions limiting the incurrence of additional debt, purchase or redemption 
of Coleman Common Stock, issuance of Coleman Preferred Stock, and the payment 
of dividends.  Under the most restrictive of these covenants of the Company 
Credit Agreement, approximately $69.9 million would have been available for 
payment by the Company of cash dividends at March 31, 1996.

     In connection with the amending of the Company's credit agreement, the 
Company  will recognize an extraordinary loss of approximately $1.1 million 
($0.7 million after taxes, or $0.03 per share) in the quarter ended June 30, 
1996, which represents a write-off of the related unamortized financing costs 
associated with the Company's credit agreement.

     Coleman Worldwide and its parent, Coleman Holdings Inc., have entered 
into borrowing agreements which are collateralized by the Company's common 
stock. 

     The Company expects that the combination of the cash flow generated by 
its operations and borrowings under the Company Credit Agreement will be 
sufficient to enable it to meet its current operating requirements, including 
projected capital expenditures, tax sharing payments and other obligations.

     On February 28, 1996, the Company and Butagaz S.N.C. ("Butagaz"), a 
subsidiary of Societe de Petroles Shell S.A., jointly announced they had 
entered into an agreement in connection with the sale to Coleman of 60 
percent of the outstanding shares of Application des Gaz, S.A. ("ADG" or 
"Camping Gaz") at a price of French Franc 404 per share (approximately $81 
per share at the then current exchange rate) or approximately $58.0 million 
in the aggregate.  Coleman has the right to purchase the balance of Butagaz' 
10 percent economic interest at a later date at the same price per share of 
French Franc 404, with Butagaz retaining a seat on the board of ADG. The 
transaction is subject to several conditions and once these have been 
satisfied, the purchase of the remaining 30 percent of the outstanding shares 
of Camping Gaz held by ADG public shareholders shall be proposed through a 
tender offer at the same price of French Franc 404 per share. The Company 
expects the conditions to the acquisition will be satisfied and expects to 
complete the acquisition of Camping Gaz late in the second quarter of 1996.  
Camping Gaz has a significant presence in the market for camping equipment in 
Europe and has recently pursued its development internationally.  The 
Company's current intention is to finance the Camping Gaz acquisition through 
a private placement issuance of approximately $160.0 million aggregate 
principal amount senior notes due in 2008.  The Company is currently in the 
process of reviewing its integration alternatives with respect to the 
combination of the business operations of Coleman and Camping Gaz.  The 
conclusions of the review could result in a charge against earnings in 1996.

     The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage 
its foreign currency and interest rate exposures.  The Company does not 
speculate on interest rates or foreign currency rates.  Instead it uses 
derivatives when implementing its risk management strategies to reduce the 
possible effects of these exposures.

     With respect to foreign currency exposures the Company principally uses 
forward and option contracts to reduce risks arising from firm commitments, 
anticipated intercompany sales transactions and intercompany receivable and 
payable balances.  The Company generally uses interest rate swaps and 
interest rate caps to fix certain of its variable rate debt.  The Company 
manages credit risk related to these derivative contracts through 



                                     11

credit approvals, exposure limits and other monitoring procedures.

     Coleman Worldwide is a holding company with no business operations or 
source of income of its own, and its ability to meet its obligations with 
respect to the LYONs and any other obligations is contingent upon 
distributions from the Company, including payments under the Company tax 
sharing agreement, capital contributions or loans from its direct and 
indirect parent companies, other borrowings and proceeds from the disposition 
of Coleman Common Stock owned by Coleman Worldwide.  As the holder of 
approximately 83% of the capital stock of the Company, Coleman Worldwide has 
the ability to cause the Company to make distributions up to the maximum 
amount permitted by law, subject to limitations in the debt instruments of 
the Company.  However, Coleman Worldwide currently expects that, for the 
foreseeable future, the net earnings and cash flows of the Company will be 
retained and used in the business of the Company and that Coleman Worldwide 
will not receive any distributions from the Company other than payments under 
the Company's tax sharing agreement.  Furthermore, the terms of the Company 
Credit Agreement may limit its ability to pay dividends or make other 
payments to Coleman Worldwide.  The receipt by Coleman Worldwide of tax 
sharing payments from the Company will cease upon Coleman Worldwide's 
ownership interest in Coleman falling below 80%, and the Indenture does not 
require Coleman Worldwide to own more than a majority of the Coleman Common 
Stock. Pursuant to the LYONs indenture agreement, at any time that the LYONs 
are outstanding, the amounts that Coleman Worldwide would be required to pay 
to Mafco under the Worldwide Tax Sharing Agreement, together with any 
remaining funds paid to Coleman Worldwide by the Company under the tax 
sharing agreement between Coleman Worldwide and the Company, may not be paid 
as tax sharing payments, but Coleman Worldwide may advance such funds to 
Mafco as long as the aggregate amount of such advances at any time does not 
exceed the issue price plus accrued OID of the LYONs.  Such advances are 
evidenced by noninterest bearing unsecured demand promissory notes from Mafco 
in the amount of $50.7 million at March 31, 1996.

     Coleman Worldwide currently anticipates that in order to pay the 
principal amount at maturity of the LYONs, to redeem the LYONs or to 
repurchase the LYONs for cash, including upon a Purchase Date (as defined) or 
upon the occurrence of any Additional Purchase Right Event (as defined), 
Coleman Worldwide will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as 
seeking capital contributions or loans from its direct and indirect parent 
companies, refinancing its indebtedness or disposing of Coleman Common Stock 
owned by Coleman Worldwide (which disposition could result in tax sharing 
payments ceasing to be available to Coleman Worldwide).  None of the 
affiliates of Coleman Worldwide will be required to make any capital 
contributions or other payments to Coleman Worldwide with respect to Coleman 
Worldwide's obligations on the LYONs, nor has any affiliate of Coleman 
Worldwide or any other person guaranteed the obligations of Coleman Worldwide 
with respect to the LYONs. There can be no assurance that any of the 
foregoing actions could be effected on satisfactory terms, that they would be 
sufficient to enable Coleman Worldwide to make any payments in respect of the 
LYONs when required or that any of such actions would be permitted by the 
terms of the Indenture or, with respect to sales of Coleman Common Stock, the 
debt instruments of the Company then in effect.

     Coleman Holdings is a holding company with no business operations or 
source of income of its own, and its ability to meet its obligations with 
respect to the Discount Notes and any other obligations is contingent upon 
distributions from Coleman Worldwide, capital contributions or loans from its 
direct and indirect parent companies and other borrowings.  As the indirect 
holder through Coleman Worldwide of approximately 83% of the capital stock of 
the Company, Coleman Holdings has the ability to cause the Company and 
Coleman Worldwide to make distributions up to the maximum amount permitted by 
law, subject to limitations in the debt instruments of the Company and 
Coleman Worldwide.  However, Coleman Holdings currently expects that, for the 
foreseeable future, the net earnings and cash flow of the Company will be 
retained and used in the business of the Company and that Coleman Holdings 
will not receive any distributions from the Company or Coleman Worldwide. 
Furthermore, the terms of Coleman's Credit Agreement may limit its ability to 
pay dividends or make other payments to Coleman Worldwide and Coleman 
Holdings, and the LYONs Indenture restricts Coleman

Worldwide's ability to pay dividends and make other payments to Coleman 
Holdings.  Although Coleman Worldwide may receive payments from the Company 
pursuant to the Company tax sharing agreement, Coleman Worldwide will not 
distribute such payments to Coleman Holdings. In addition, the LYONs 
Indenture requires that any such payments received from the Company be paid 
to Mafco Holdings Inc. or retained by Coleman Worldwide (except under certain 
limited circumstances which are unlikely to occur prior to the maturity of 
the Discount Notes).

     Coleman Holdings currently anticipates that in order to pay the 
principal amount at maturity of the Discount Notes, to redeem the Discount 
Notes or to repurchase the Discount Notes upon the occurrence of a change of 
control, Coleman Holdings will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, 
such as seeking capital contributions or loans from its direct and indirect 
parent companies or refinancing its indebtedness.  None of the affiliates of 
Coleman Holdings will be required to make any capital contributions or other 
payments to Coleman Holdings with respect to Coleman Holdings's obligations 
on the Discount Notes, and, except for the non-recourse guaranty of Coleman 
Worldwide, the obligations of Coleman Holdings with respect to the Discount 
Notes will not be guaranteed by any affiliate of Coleman Holdings or any 
other person.  There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing actions 
could be effected on satisfactory terms, that they would be sufficient to 
enable Coleman Holdings to make any payments in respect of the Discount Notes 
when required or that any of such actions would be permitted by the terms of 
the Discount Notes trust indenture (the "Discount Notes Indenture"), the 
LYONs Indenture or the debt instruments of the Company or Coleman Worldwide 
then in effect.  Moreover, the events that constitute a change of control 
under the Discount Notes Indenture may also constitute events of default or 
repurchase right events under certain debt instruments of Coleman Holdings' 
subsidiaries.  Such events may permit the lenders under such debt instruments 
to accelerate the debt (or, in the case of LYONs, to require Coleman 
Worldwide to repurchase LYONs) and, if the debt is not paid or repurchased, 
to enforce their security interest in substantially all the assets of Coleman 
Holdings' subsidiaries.  Any such enforcement may limit Coleman Holdings' 
ability to raise cash to purchase the Discount Notes and may have a material 
adverse effect on the market price of Coleman Common Stock and on the price 
that could be obtained for the Coleman Worldwide capital stock and thus on 
the ability of the Discount Notes trustee to realize value through sales of 
the collateral.

SEASONALITY 

     The Company's sales generally are highest in the second quarter of the 
year and lowest in the fourth quarter.  As a result of this seasonality, the 
Company has generally incurred a loss in the fourth quarter.  The Company's 
sales may be affected by weather conditions, especially during the second and 
third quarters of the year.
