              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
                                  May 31, 1996


Note 1 -         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated
                 condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
                 (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
                 present fairly its financial condition of the results of its
                 operations for the periods ended May 31, 1996 and 1995.  While
                 the Company believes that the disclosures presented are
                 adequate to make the information not misleading, it is
                 suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with
                 the financial statements and the notes included in the
                 Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 2 -         The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions
                 arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of
                 management, the ultimate disposition of such claims and legal
                 actions will not have a material adverse effect on the
                 financial position of the Company.

                 As of May 31, 1996, the Company has unused advertising
                 credits, with a carrying amount of $3,198,000 which are
                 available until used.  Benefits to be received by the Company
                 from utilization of all remaining credits could exceed the
                 carrying amount.  In July 1995, the company required to
                 provide advertising in connection with the credits (the
                 Bankrupt Entity) filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the
                 United States Bankruptcy Court (Court).  Through July 9, 1996,
                 a plan of reorganization had not been filed in the bankruptcy
                 proceedings and the Court had not ruled as to the treatment of
                 the Company's advertising credits.  Management has been
                 informed that counsel for the Bankruptcy Entity has petitioned
                 in Court for approval to classify or treat these barter
                 credits as executory contracts.  If the Court determines that
                 barter credits are executory contracts and the Bankrupt Entity
                 emerges from Chapter 11, the Company could realize the full
                 value of the barter credits.  In the event the Court rules
                 that the advertising credits represent unsecured liabilities
                 of the Bankrupt Entity, the value of the advertising credits
                 to the Company would be reduced significantly, and therefore,
                 this reduction in the value of the advertising credits would
                 be charged against income in the fiscal quarter in which that
                 determination were made.  The loss of these credits to the
                 company would have no impact on the liquidity or the future
                 operations of the Company.  The ultimate outcome of the
                 bankruptcy proceeding cannot currently be determined.

Note 3 -         Primary earnings per common and common equivalent share are
                 computed based upon the weighted average number of common
                 shares plus common share equivalents (dilutive stock options
                 and warrants) outstanding during the period.

                 Fully diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted
                 average number of common shares plus equivalents determined on
                 the basis of maximum potential dilution from stock options and
                 warrants.  Earnings per common and common equivalent share,
                 assuming full dilution, is not materially dilutive for any of
                 the periods presented.

Note 4 -         The business of the Company is seasonal with greater than 60%
                 of annual sales volume normally occurring in the second and
                 third fiscal quarters.

Note 5 -         On June 4, 1996, the Company's Directors approved a 2-for-1
                 stock split which will be paid as a 100% stock dividend.  The
                 stock dividend is payable on July 1, 1996 to stockholders of
                 record on June 17, 1996.  All references in the financial
                 statements to number of shares and per share amounts of the
                 Company's common stock have been retroactively restated to
                 reflect the increased number of common shares outstanding.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
           Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $10,292,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1997, a 31%
increase in net sales when compared with the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The
increase is attributable to increased volume as the Company's market share
increased in both the Consumer Sales Division and the Professional Salon
Division.  Hair care appliance sales make up the great majority of Consumer
Products Division volume.  The introduction of new hair care appliance models,
increased brush and comb sales, and sales of hair care accessories were the
primary causes of the market share increase.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, remained constant at 37.3% for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of net
sales to 30.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 30.5% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  These costs increased $2,881,000 which was primarily
due to the variable nature of expenses associated with increased sales.

Interest expense for the quarter ended May 31, 1996, increased over interest
expense for the same quarter in the previous year due to the $40 million in
Senior Notes issued by the Company's U.S. subsidiary in January, 1996.  The
increase in other income is due to interest income, which resulted from the
same Senior Notes issuance, which provided a larger balance of investible
funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital was $109,273,000 at May 31, 1996 and the current
ratio was 8.1 to 1.  Short term debt decreased $2,593,000 from February 29,
1996 to May 31, 1996.

The Company believes its capital resources are adequate to finance normal
growth and service the Company's debt obligations.  Additionally, the Company
believes that internal funds and available credit will be adequate to finance a
large warehouse, which is currently being constructed, and a new headquarters
office building, which is planned for construction within the next year.

Contingencies

As of May 31, 1996, the Company has unused advertising credits, with a carrying
amount of $3,198,000 which are available until used.  Benefits to be received
by the Company from utilization of all remaining credits could exceed the
carrying amount.  In July 1995, the company required to provide advertising in
connection with the credits (the Bankrupt Entity) filed a voluntary Chapter 11
petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court (Court).  Through July 9,





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
1996, a plan of reorganization had not been filed in the bankruptcy proceedings
and the Court had not ruled as to the treatment of the Company's advertising
credits.  Management has been informed that counsel for the Bankruptcy Entity
has petitioned in Court for approval to classify or treat these barter credits
as executory contracts.  If the Court determines that barter credits are
executory contracts and the Bankrupt Entity emerges from Chapter 11, the
Company could realize the full value of the barter credits.  In the event the
Court rules that the advertising credits represent unsecured liabilities of the
Bankrupt Entity, the value of the advertising credits to the Company would be
reduced significantly, and therefore, this reduction in the value of the
advertising credits would be charged against income in the fiscal quarter in
which that determination were made.  The loss of these credits to the company
would have no impact on the liquidity or the future operations of the Company.
The ultimate outcome of the bankruptcy proceeding cannot currently be
determined.
