                  SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain statements under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q and any documents incorporated herein by reference constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934.  These statements are typically identified by their inclusion of
phrases such as "the Company anticipates," "the Company believes" and other
phrases of similar meaning.  Such forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company, or
industry results to be materially different from any future results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.  Such factors include, among others, the
following:  general economic and business conditions; the ability of the
Company to implement its business and acquisition strategy, including the
ability to integrate recently acquired businesses into the Company; the
ability of the Company to obtain financing for future acquisitions, including
obtaining required approvals from its existing lenders for such acquisitions;
changes in the retail industry generally and the fragrance and nail care
industries specifically; changes in consumer preferences; competition;
availability of key personnel; foreign currency exchange rates; industry
capacity; development and operating costs; advertising and promotional
efforts; brand awareness; acceptance of new product offerings; changes in, or
the failure to comply with, governmental regulations (especially
environmental laws and regulations); and other factors referenced in this
Form 10-Q.  As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can
be given as to future results, levels of activity and achievements and
neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the
accuracy and completeness of these statements.

                     RENAISSANCE COSMETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

          1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The consolidated financial statements of Renaissance Cosmetics,
Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited and
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries from the
respective dates of their acquisitions.  All significant intercompany activity
has been eliminated.  The results of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
any other interim period or for the entire year.

          In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have
been made on a consistent basis.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures included in consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  The unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations and the consolidated financial statements included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "1996 Form 10-K").

          In January 1997, the Company restated its previously reported
results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Additionally,
certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to conform to the current year's presentation.

          2.     INVENTORIES

          The components of inventories are as follows:

  (IN THOUSANDS)                          JUNE 30,           MARCH 31,
                                            1997               1997

                                        ------------     ---------------
                                          $61,786            $55,554
                                        ------------     ---------------
                                        ------------     ---------------

          The above components are shown net of excess and obsolete inventory
reserves of $2,989,000 and $2,719,000 at June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1997,
respectively.  At June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1997, approximately 63.9% and
61.8%, respectively, of the Company's

                                       -6-
<PAGE>

inventories are stated at the lower of LIFO cost or market.  The excess of
current replacement cost over the stated LIFO value was $0 at June 30, 1997
and March 31, 1997, respectively.

          3. OTHER INCOME

          On May 21, 1997, Dr. Thomas V. Bonoma, the late Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, died suddenly.  Other income was $3,363,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  This income consisted of the
proceeds from a key man life insurance policy, on which the Company was the
beneficiary, net of incremental expenses incurred by the Company relating to
Dr. Bonoma's death.

          4. EQUITY AND DEBT FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

          On April 28, 1997, the Company's offer to exchange the outstanding 
shares of Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B Preferred 
Stock") for a like number of shares of Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, 
Series C ("Series C Preferred Stock"), with substantially the same terms, was 
closed.  After the exchange closed, there were 775 shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock outstanding and 126,916 shares of Series C Preferred Stock 
outstanding. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred 
Stock are together referred to as Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1997 in Item 1 
hereof.

          On June 8, 1997, the Company completed the exchange of all of the

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

     The Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 1998, is referred to herein as
"Fiscal 1997."  The Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, is referred to

     This discussion and analysis relates to the consolidated results of
operations of Renaissance Cosmetics, Inc. (the "Company"), which includes the
Company's major operating divisions (the "Fragrance Division," the "Cosmetics
Division" and the "International Division," which includes both fragrance and
cosmetics sales), resulting from the acquisitions that have been consummated
by the Company from the date of such acquisitions.  Each of such acquisitions
is discussed in greater detail in Item 1 and Item 7 of the Company's Fiscal
1996 Form 10-K.

OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 (AS RESTATED)

     NET SALES.  The Company's net sales were as follows (in 000s):

</TABLE>

     Total net sales increased by 35.4% to $40,885,000.

     Fragrance Division net sales increased 53.1% to $16,044,000.  The
increase was due principally to net sales of brands acquired in the MEM and
P&G Brands Acquisitions.  Sales of MEM and P&G Brands were $5,610,000 during
the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Such growth in sales of acquired brands is
consistent with the Company's overall strategy of reinvigorating brand
equities.

     Cosmetics Division net sales increased 24.8% to $14,664,000. This
increase is primarily attributable to net sales of acquired brands, including
the Nat Robbins brand acquired in the GAC Acquisition and new product
releases (Nail Fetish).  Net sales of Nat Robbins products during the first
quarter of Fiscal 1997 were $4,014,000.  This growth in the sales of Nat
Robbins products at the expense of certain base brands is consistent with the
Company's strategy of expanding the number of existing doors for Nat Robbins
products.

     International Division net sales increased 27.6% to $10,177,000.  The
increase was principally attributable to foreign sales of the P&G Brands.
Net sales in the United Kingdom (excluding close-out sales) and sales of P&G
Brands in the rest of the world for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were
$2,219,000. These increases were offset by decreases in export sales and
lower than expected sales in Brazil due to delays in new product launches.

     GROSS PROFIT.   The Company's gross profit was as follows (in 000s):

</TABLE>

     Fragrance Division gross profit margin declined to 59.9% from 67.8% due to
changes in product mix.  Included in the gross margin is gross profit from
close-out sales which yield a gross margin of approximately 17%.  Additionally,
sales of the Tinkerbell (children's cosmetics) products acquired in the MEM
Acquisition generated an overall gross margin of 46%.  Gross margin on regular
fragrance products sold through normal channels improved to 69.2%,

     Cosmetics Division gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 59.6%
compared to 58.4% during the comparable period in the prior year.  The increase
reflects the changes in product mix mentioned above.

     International Division gross profit margin declined from 60.3% to 56.7%,
reflecting changes in product mix, including the lower gross margins on close-
out sales in the United Kingdom.

     SELLING EXPENSES.  The Company's selling expenses in the first quarter of
Fiscal 1997 and the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 were $14,898,000 (36.4% of Net
Sales) and $11,159,000 (36.9% of Net Sales), respectively. The increase in
selling expenses in whole dollars reflects additional investments in advertising
and promotional programs by the Fragrance and Cosmetics Divisions in order to
support key brands.  The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales
is attributable to increased sales as well as the decline in advertising and
promotional expenses at the International Division due to delays in new product
launches.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  The Company's general and
administrative expenses in the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 and the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996 were $7,396,000 (18.1% of Net Sales) and $5,888,000
(19.5% of Net Sales), respectively.  The increase in general and administrative
expenses was attributable in part to the additional personnel added throughout
Fiscal 1996 and the additional fixed costs necessary to run a larger
organization.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales reflects the synergies of consolidated operations.

     AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES AND OTHER ASSETS.  Amortization of
intangibles and other assets was $2,756,000 (6.7% of Net Sales) in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1997 and $1,368,000 (4.5% of Net Sales) in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996.  This increase is due to an increase in intangible
assets resulting principally from the GAC, MEM and P&G Brands Acquisitions.

     OPERATING INCOME (LOSS).  Operating income (loss) was $(941,000) (2.3% of
Net Sales) for the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 and $358,000 (1.2% of Net Sales)
for the first quarter of Fiscal 1996.  Management believes that, as an
additional measurement, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") is useful and meaningful to an understanding of the
operating performance of the Company.  However, EBITDA should not be considered
as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance or to cash flows as a measurement of liquidity.  The
computation of EBITDA is set forth in the table below (in 000s):

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  The Company's total interest expense was $7,002,000 for
the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 and $5,201,000 for the first quarter of Fiscal
1996, while cash interest for the periods was $6,210,000 and $4,152,000,
respectively.  Interest expense consisted of the following (in 000s):

     OTHER INCOME.  Other income was $3,363,000 for the first quarter of 
Fiscal 1997.  This income consisted of the proceeds from a key man life 
insurance policy covering the late Chairman, Dr. Thomas V. Bonoma, on which 
the Company was the beneficiary, net of incremental expenses incurred by the 
Company relating to Dr. Bonoma's death.

     INCOME TAX PROVISION (BENEFIT).  Income tax provision (benefit) was
$205,000 for the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 and $(156,000) for the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996.  The effective tax

                                      -11-

rates differ from the United States federal income tax rate due to state and
foreign income taxes and limitations on utilization of federal income tax
benefits.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), and SFAS No. 
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130").  SFAS 131 establishes 
standards for reporting financial and descriptive information for reportable 
segments on the same basis which is used internally for evaluating segment 
performance and the allocation of resources to segments.  SFAS 130 
establishes standards for presenting nonshareholder related items that are 
excluded from net income and reported as components of stockholders' equity, 
such as foreign currency translation. These statements are effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The adoption of these 
statements will not have a material effect on the Company's results of 
operations or financial position.

OTHER

     The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the situation commonly 
referred to as the "Year 2000 problem."  The Year 2000 problem, which is 
common to most corporations, concerns the inability of information systems, 
primarily computer software programs, to properly recognize and process date 
sensitive information related to the Year 2000.  Preliminary assessments 
indicate that resulting solutions will involve a mix of purchasing new 
systems and modifying existing systems.  The Company is currently in the 
process of determining the costs and expenditures associated with the Year 
2000 problem.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     NET CASH USED IN/PROVIDED BY OPERATING, INVESTING AND FINANCING
ACTIVITIES. Net cash used by the Company in operating activities for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 was $6,191,000, consisting primarily of a
net loss of $4,433,000 less (i) non-cash items impacting net loss of
$5,060,000, (ii) increases in inventories and prepaid expenses, other current
assets and other assets of $6,232,000 and $3,852,000, respectively, (iii)
decreases in accounts payable of $4,746,000, (iv) decreases in other of
$138,000; offset by (A) decreases in accounts receivable of $5,667,000 and
(B) increases in accrued expenses of $2,483,000.

     Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,052,000, consisting
primarily of net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $5,000,000,
offset by capital expenditures of $2,855,000 and an investment in the joint
venture in China of $1,093,000.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $19,940,000, consisting
primarily of borrowings on the revolving credit facility with General Electric
Capital Corporation and other lenders ("New Revolving Credit Facility") of
$20,000,000 offset by the payment of deferred financing fees of $60,000.

     EQUITY AND DEBT FINANCING TRANSACTIONS. On April 28, 1997, the Company's
offer to exchange the outstanding shares of Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock,
Series B ("Series B Preferred Stock") for a like number of shares of Senior
Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series C ("Series C Preferred Stock"), with
substantially the same terms, was closed.  After the exchange closed, there were
775 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and 126,916 shares of Series
C Preferred Stock outstanding.

     On June 8, 1997, the Company completed the exchange of all of the
outstanding principal amount of 11 3/4% Senior Notes, due 2004, issued
pursuant to the Indenture dated February 7, 1997 ("Old Notes"), for a like
principal amount of its 11 3/4% Senior Notes, due 2004, which were registered
under the Securities Act ("New Notes").

     OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS AND LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS.  As of June 30, 1997,
the Company had total outstanding indebtedness of $223,926,000, consisting of
(1) $200,000,000 of New Notes, (2) $3,926,000 of Seller Notes and
(3) $20,000,000 under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

                                      -12-

     Because of the nature of the fragrance/cosmetics industry, both the
Company's need for working capital and its income streams are seasonal.  The
most significant liquidity requirements occur in connection with the
production of inventory prior to the sales surge and related shipments to
customers in advance of the calendar year-end holiday sales season and other
events such as new product launches.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
the Company implemented a working capital management program, coupled with
management incentives to manage working capital.

     The Company believes that the New Revolving Credit Facility, together with
the Company's working capital management program, should be sufficient to fund
existing operations for at least the next twelve months.
