          Compared to Three Months ended June 30, 1995
                                
Net  SalesNet sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996
were $21.0  million,  an increase of $5.4 or 34.9% from the
comparable 1995 period. The sales growth was primarily due to
net  sales from the recently acquired Farberware Outlet Stores,
net sales from the new Hoffritzr line and  increased sales in
the Smart Choice line. Gross Profit
Gross  profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996  was
$10.1 million,  an increase of $2.8 million or     38.2% over
the comparable
1995  period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
48.1% as  compared  to  47.0%  for the 1995 period.   This
increase  is primarily  due  to  a  reduction of royalty
expense  due  to  the Farberware  acquisition, partially offset
by  changes  in  product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended  June  30,  1996  were $7.8  million, an  increase
of  $2.2 million or 38.1% from the comparable 1995 period.
Selling, general and  administrative expenses as a percentage
of  net  sales  were 37.2%  during this three month period in
1996 as compared to 36.3% for  the  1995  period.  This
percentage  increase  is  primarily attributable  to the
operations of the Farberware  Outlet  Stores, partially offset
by a decrease in personnel related costs.


                  Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
           Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 1995
                                
Net  SalesNet  sales for the six months ended June 30,  1996
were $40.3  million,  an  increase of $6.0 million or  17.6%
from  the comparable 1995 period. The sales growth was primarily
due to  net sales  from  the recently acquired Farberware Outlet
Stores,  net sales  from  the new Hoffritzr line and  increased
sales  in  the Smart Choice line.

Gross Profit
Gross  profit  for the six months ended June 30,  1996  was
$19.2 million,  an increase of $2.9 million or     17.6% over
the comparable
1995  period.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
remained constant at 47.7% for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and  June 30, 1995.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the  six
months ended  June  30,  1996 were $14.1  million, an  increase
of  $2.3 million or 19.9% from the comparable 1995 period.
Selling, general and  administrative expenses as a percentage
of  net  sales  were 35.1%  during this six month period in 1996
as compared  to  34.4%
for  the  1995  period.  This  percentage  increase  is
primarily attributable  to the operations of the Farberware
Outlet  Stores, partially offset by a decrease in personnel
related costs.
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 (6.625% at June  30,
1996). The  Company  is charged a nominal fee on the entire
Line.  As  of June  30,  1996,  the Company had $12,500,000  of
borrowings  and $8,642,000 of letters of credit outstanding
under the Line and, as a result, the availability under the Line
was $3,858,000. The Line is cancelable by either party at any
time.

At  June  30,  1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $476,000  versus  $90,000 at December 31,  1995,  an
increase  of $386,000.  The increase is primarily attributable
to the Company's decreased  accounts  receivable offset by an
increase  in  prepaid expenses, other current assets, and other
assets.

The  purchase  of the Farberware acquisition was funded  by
short term  borrowings which were subsequently reduced  by
income  from operations.  The purchase price consists of cash of
$9.5  million plus  the  value  of the outlet store inventory
(estimated  to  be $3,100,000).

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 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.
