NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Tristar
Corporation ("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the

1999, the Company, through a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Tristar USA,
Inc. ("Tristar USA") acquired Fragrance Impressions Limited (See Note 8 of the

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended February
26, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending August 26, 2000.

     ended February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999, as the assumed conversion of
     convertible preferred stock and the assumed exercise of outstanding options
     and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect.

NOTE 4: CREDIT AGREEMENT BORROWINGS

In December 1997, the Company entered into a $22,000,000 credit agreement (the
"Credit Agreement") with its principal lender. In November 1999, the Credit
Agreement was amended and restated to provide for a revolving credit facility
(the "Revolving Credit") of $15,100,000 of maximum borrowings; $10,600,000 and
$4,500,000 of the Revolving Credit was allocated to support the requirements of
Tristar Corporation and Tristar USA respectively (See Note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on Tristar USA
acquisition). Such borrowings bear interest, at the Company's election, at the
Alternate Base Rate (the higher of the prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus
 .50%) plus 1.00% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.50%
(although borrowings based on LIBOR, cannot exceed 60% of the total outstanding
borrowings under the Revolving Credit). At February 26, 2000, the Revolving
Credit bore interest at rates of 9.73% and 9.38%, respectively, in accordance
with the above noted interest computations. Borrowings under the Revolving
Credit are limited by a formula based on Eligible Accounts Receivable and
Inventory, as defined in the agreement. Remaining availability under the line as
of February 26, 2000 approximated $2,584,000 based on the borrowing formula.
Commitment fees equal to .50% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving
Credit are payable monthly. The Credit Agreement contains certain provisions
giving the lender the right to accelerate payment of all outstanding amounts
upon the occurrence of certain events. Accordingly, all revolving Credit amounts
are classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All
outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Agreement are due in December
2002.

The Credit Agreement also provides for a $3,400,000 term loan (the "Term Loan")
and a $3,500,000 capital expenditure facility (the "Cap Ex Facility"). The Term
Loan bears interest, payable monthly, at the Alternate Base Rate (8.73% at
February 26, 2000) plus 2.00%. Principal payments on the Term Loan consist of
equal monthly principal payments in the amount of $56,667 for 60 months
beginning in January

                                       9
<PAGE>
1998. Additionally, 50% of annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Cap Ex
Facility, must be applied to the Term Loan installments in the inverse order of
maturity.

Borrowings under the Cap Ex Facility are limited to 80% of the cost of new
machinery and equipment, limited to annual utilization of $1,500,000. These
borrowings also bear interest, payable monthly, at the Alternate Base Rate (8.73
% at February 26, 2000) plus 2.00%. Principal payments on the Cap Ex Facility
commence one month after the related borrowing in an amount based on a five year
amortization for borrowings made prior to October 4, 1998 and a three year
amortization for borrowings made subsequent to October 4, 1998. However, a
balloon payment in an amount equal to all outstanding borrowings under the Cap
Ex Facility is also due in December 2002. As of February 26, 2000, the Company
had outstanding borrowings under the Cap Ex Facility totaling $2,235,000
principal payments are currently set at the rate of $75,000 per month.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by all of the Company's
present and future assets. At February 26, 2000, the Company was not in
violation of any restrictive financial covenant. New restrictive financial
covenants including Minimum Tangible Net Worth, Minimum EBITDA, Maximum Loss,
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage, Maximum Leverage and Maximum Capital
Expenditures, reflective of consolidated Tristar Corporation and Tristar USA
(See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) for periods
beyond November 1999 have been agreed upon. Additional covenants limit
borrowings, asset sales and dividends.

NOTE 6: LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to ordinary and routine litigation arising out of the
conduct of its business. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of
these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition.

NOTE 7: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain suppliers of fragrance product components and the primary suppliers of
cosmetic products are affiliates of the Sheth Group who beneficially own 73% of
the Company's outstanding common stock. Related party accounts payable result
from the purchase of products from those vendors. Related party accounts
receivable result from the sale of products to those and other affiliates of the
Sheth Group. The payables and receivables balances for individual parties are
offset for presentation purposes and the net balance of accounts receivable or
accounts payable is presented on the balance sheet. Related party payables also
include payables due members of the Company's Board of Directors which result,
in the normal course of business, from expenses associated with Board and
related committee meetings. The following summarizes the presentations at
February 26, 2000 and August 28, 1999.

The Company purchases finished goods and fragrance product components from Sheth
Group affiliates. During the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000, and
for the comparable period in fiscal 1999, the Company purchased approximately
$1,520,000 and $2,266,000, respectively.

During the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000, and for the
comparable period in fiscal 1999, the Company sold products to Sheth Group
affiliates in the amounts of approximately $1,417,000 and $ 1,881,000,
respectively.

NOTE 8: PURCHASE OF FRAGRANCE IMPRESSIONS LIMITED ("FIL")

On November 15, 1999, Tristar Corporation (the "Company"), and its newly formed
wholly owned subsidiary, Tristar USA, Inc. ("Tristar USA"), entered into an
acquisition agreement dated effective November 1, 1999 to acquire Fragrance
Impressions Limited, a Connecticut corporation ("FIL"). FIL, headquartered in
Bridgeport, Connecticut, markets and distributes designer alternative
fragrances, cosmetics and bath and body products. Under the terms of the
acquisition agreement, FIL was merged into Tristar USA which purchased all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of FIL for $350,000 in cash, $3,050,000
in promissory notes ("Notes"), and options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $5.82 per share which were valued at approximately
$307,000 utilizing the Black Scholes Method. The Notes are subject to post
closing adjustments to the outstanding principle balance, based upon sales
achievement during the next two calendar years. In connection with the FIL
acquisition, the Company assumed and entered into other notes payable with key
employees and consultants for change in control and other liabilities amounting
to $1,498,000 (See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Cash used to finance this transaction was derived from the sale of 21,667 shares
of Series C Preferred Stock in October 1999 (See Note 9 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). The consideration paid by Tristar USA was
arrived at through negotiations between the Company, Tristar USA, and FIL and
was based on a variety of issues, including without limitation, earnings and
revenue, the value of goodwill and the nature of alternative designer fragrance,
cosmetic and bath and body industry.

The acquisition of FIL has been treated as a purchase acquisition for accounting
purposes. Accordingly, net assets acquired have been adjusted to fair value as
appropriate. The excess of the purchase price over the related fair value of net
assets acquired of approximately $5.2 million has been recorded as goodwill to
be amortized over 20 years.

The following represents supplemental consolidated pro-forma information for the
twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999:

NOTE 9: ISSUANCE OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

In September 1998, the Company completed a private placement whereby it sold
78,333 share of Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred
Stock") to a private investor. Effective October 14, 1999, the Company completed
a second private placement whereby it sold an additional 21,667 shares of Series
C Preferred Stock to a private investor for $60 per share.

The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative
cash dividend of $4.80 per share annually. The dividend is payable quarterly
($1.20 per share). The dividends may be paid by issuance of additional shares of
Series C Preferred Stock except such shares bear a cumulative cash dividend of
$7.80 per share annually. Dividends of approximately $120,000 and $94,000 were
paid on the Series C Preferred Stock for the thirteen week period ended February
26, 2000 and February 27, 1999, respectively. Dividends of approximately
$228,000 and $188,000 were paid on the Series C Preferred

<PAGE>
Stock for the twenty-six period ended February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999,
respectively. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive a liquidation preference equal to $60.00 per share plus interest thereon
from the date of issue until redemption or conversion at a compound rate of 20%

Stock totaled approximately $1,261,000 at February 26, 2000.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

This document contains certain statements that are "forward-looking" statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of
historical facts included in this document, including without limitation
statements that use terminology such as "anticipate", "believe," "continue,"
"estimate," "expect," "intend," "may,", "plan," "predict," "should," "will," and
similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements include, among other things, the Company's business strategy and
expectations concerning the Company's market position, future operations,
margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources, expenditures for
capital projects and attempts to reduce costs. Although the Company believes
that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements contained in this
document are based are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be
inaccurate and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those
assumptions also could be incorrect. All phases of the operations of the Company
involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of the
Company and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect
the results of the Company's operations and whether the forward-looking
statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results and trends in the
future may differ materially depending on a variety of factors including, but
not limited to, the timing and extent of changes in fragrance components,
fragrance and cosmetic prices and underlying demand and availability of
fragrance components; changes in the cost or availability of means of
transporting products; execution of planned capital projects; adverse changes in
the credit ratings assigned to the Company's trade credit; the extent of the
Company's success in developing and marketing new product lines; state and
federal environmental, economic, safety and other policies and regulations, and
changes therein, and any legal or regulatory delays or other factors beyond the
Company's control; adverse rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or
other legal matters; actions of customers and competitors; economic conditions
affecting the areas in which the Company's products are marketed; political
developments in foreign countries; and the conditions of the capital markets and
equity markets during the periods covered by the forward-looking statements.
Many of the factors are described in greater detail in other of the Company's
filings with the Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to

                                       13
<PAGE>
the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the foregoing. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the results of any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that
may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THIRTEEN AND TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIODS
ENDED FEBRUARY 26, 2000 AND FEBRUARY 27, 1999

Consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods
ended February 26, 2000 include the acquisition of Fragrance Impressions Limited
("FIL") effective November 1, 1999 (See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).

For the thirteen week period ended February 26, 2000, the Company recorded
consolidated net loss of $179,000 compared to consolidated net loss of $510,000
for the thirteen week period ended February 27, 1999 or a 65% improvement over
the prior year despite relatively flat sales. The improved results were
primarily due to reduced cost of sales as a result of continued efficiencies in
operations, partially offset by increased interest expense associated with a
higher level of borrowings. After giving effect to preferred stock dividends and
the cost of accumulated beneficial conversion feature, the Company recorded
consolidated net loss applicable to common stock of $433,000 or $.03 per diluted
share and $747,000 or $.04 per diluted share for the related thirteen week
periods ended February 26, 2000 and February 27,1999, respectively.

For the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000, the Company recorded
consolidated net income of $207,000 compared to consolidated net loss of
$286,000 for the comparable period in 1999. The significant improvement versus
the prior period was achieved despite lower sales and is the result of
operational efficiencies, lower SG&A expenses partially offset by increased
interest expense associated with increased borrowing levels. After giving effect
to preferred stock dividends and the cost of accumulated beneficial conversion
feature, the Company recorded consolidated net loss applicable to common stock
of $599,000 or $.04 per diluted share and $1,371,000 or $.08 per diluted share
for the related twenty-six week periods ended February 26, 2000 and February
27,1999, respectively.

NET SALES

Net sales were $13,624,000 for the thirteen week period ended February 26, 2000,
or slightly up versus net sales of $13,440,000 for the comparable period in
fiscal 1999. For the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000, net sales
were $27,087,000, a decrease of approximately 5 percent versus net sales of
$28,515,000 for the twenty-six week period ended February 27, 1999. Net sales in
the thirteen-week period ended February 26, 2000 were impacted by volume
decreases in Latin America and U.S. wholesale market in the Royal selection
fragrance line. This volume decline was offset by increased sales of Apple
cosmetic pencils in the U.S. wholesale market and volume increases associated
with the FIL acquisition (See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).

The decline in net sales for the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000
was primarily due to volume decreases in Latin America and U.S. wholesale
markets in the Royal Selections fragrance line and the combined U.S. chain,
specialty chain, and mass merchandising channel in the Regal and Euro Collection
lines. In addition, sales were lower over the prior period as a result of the
Company's sale of its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, effective November 29,
1998. This decline was partially offset by volume increases in the U.S.
wholesale markets in the new Royal Selection Crown II Series fragrance line,
U.S. chain, specialty chain and mass merchandising channel in the Euro Garden
Collection line and Apple cosmetic pencils in the U.S. wholesale market as well
as volume increases associated with the FIL acquisition (See Note 8 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements).

                                       14
<PAGE>
NET SALES - CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company markets and distributes products to wholesalers, distributors, chain
stores, mass merchandisers and independent retail channels in various markets
throughout North and South America. For the thirteen week period ended February
26, 2000, net sales of the Company were up slightly over the prior period. Net
sales increased over the prior period due to volume increases associated with
the FIL acquisition (See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). This increase was partially offset by a decline in the U.S. and
Latin American wholesale channels which continue to experience significant
financial and economic instability in the world's emerging markets.

For the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000 the Company experienced a
decline over the prior period mainly in Latin American and U.S. wholesale
markets and U.S. chain, specialty chain and mass merchandising channel. In
addition, sales were lower over the prior period as a result of the Company's
sale of its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary. The Company's sales decline was
partially offset by volume increases associated with the acquisition of FIL (See
Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

In the thirteen and twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000, sales to
affiliates of the Sheth Group was $756,000 and 1,417,000, respectively, compared
with $1,274,000 and $1,881,000 for the same period in fiscal 1999.

PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM RELATED PARTIES

The Company purchases finished goods and fragrance components from Sheth Group
affiliates. During the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000, and for
the comparable period in fiscal 1999, the Company purchased approximately
$1,520,000 and $2,266,000, respectively.

GROSS PROFIT

The Company's gross profit for the thirteen week periods ended February 26, 2000
and February 27, 1999 was $4,129,000 or 30.3% of sales and $3,575,000 or 26.6%
of sales, respectively. The Company's gross profit for the thirteen week period
was favorably impacted versus the prior year by increased efficiencies in
operations and a favorable product mix involving increased sales of higher
margin products.

For the twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999, the
Company's gross profit was $8,383,000, or 30.9% of sales and $8,044,000, or
28.2% of sales, respectively. The Company's gross profit for the twenty-six week
period improved over the prior comparable period due to increased efficiencies
in operations as well as an overall favorable product mix.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the thirteen week
period ended February 26, 2000 was $3,799,000, or relatively flat versus
$3,746,000 for the comparable period ended February 27, 1999. For the twenty-six
weeks ended February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999, SG&A was $7,254,000 and
$7,665,000, respectively or a decrease of 5.4%. As a percent of sales, SG&A was
26.8% and 26.9%, for the twenty-six week periods respectively. The improvement
in SG&A for the twenty-six week period was primarily due to restructuring of
business processes and expense levels together with staff realignment. In
addition, SG&A was lower as a result of the Company's sale of it's wholly owned
subsidiary in Mexico which was effective November 29, 1998. The overall
decrease in SG&A was partially offset by the inclusion of SG&A expenses
associated with the FIL acquisition (See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).

NON-OPERATING INCOME OR EXPENSE

Interest expense increased when comparing the thirteen and twenty-six week
period of fiscal 2000 to the same period of fiscal 1999 as a result of higher
revolving credit borrowings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company currently is obtaining its working capital from a revolving line of
credit (See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Operations in the twenty-six week periods ended February 26, 2000, provided
$1,339,000 in cash primarily due to net income as adjusted for non-cash items,
decreases in accounts receivable and increases in accrued liabilities partially
offset by an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable.

Accounts receivable decreased mainly due to collection efforts and lower sales.
Inventory increased primarily due to sales being lower than forecast. Accounts
payable decreased as the Company made payments to related parties and certain
vendors, bringing those accounts closer to normal terms. Accrued liabilities
increased primarily due to returns and allowance provisions.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Capital expenditures during the twenty-six week periods were $565,000,
consisting primarily of investments in production-related machinery and
equipment, facilities related items, and computer equipment. Capital
expenditures in fiscal 2000 are expected to approximate the fiscal 1999 level
with the major portion being devoted to manufacturing equipment to enable the
Company to enhance its capacity, efficiency and level of customer service. In
addition, the Company utilized $441,000 in cash in connection with the recent
FIL acquisition.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000, net cash used by
financing activities amounted to $325,000. Of this amount, cash was used for
payment of long-term debt of $1,025,000, payment of dividends on Series C
Preferred Stock of $228,000, and net borrowings under the revolving credit
agreement of $1,145,000. The cash used was partially offset by proceeds from
long-term debt of $891,000 and proceeds from the sale of Series C Preferred
stock of $1,300,000.

In December 1997, the Company entered into a $22,000,000 credit agreement (the
"Credit Agreement") with its principal lender. In November 1999, the Credit
Agreement was amended and restated to provide for a revolving credit facility
(the "Revolving Credit") of $15,100,000 of maximum borrowings; $10,600,000 and
$4,500,000 of the Revolving Credit was allocated to support the requirements of
Tristar Corporation and Tristar USA respectively (See Note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on Tristar USA
acquisition). Such borrowings bear interest, at the company's election, at the
Alternate Base Rate (the higher of the prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus
 .50%) plus 1.00% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.50%
(although borrowings based on LIBOR, cannot exceed 60% of the total outstanding
borrowings under the Revolving Credit). At February 26, 2000, the Revolving
Credit bore interest at rates of 9.73 % and 9.38 %, respectively, in accordance
with the above noted interest computations. Borrowings under the Revolving
Credit are limited by a formula based on Eligible Accounts Receivable and
Inventory as defined in the agreement. Remaining availability under the line as
of February 26, 2000 approximated $2,584,000 based on the borrowing formula.
Commitment fees equal to .50% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving
Credit are payable monthly. The Credit Agreement contains certain provisions
giving the lender the right to accelerate payment of all outstanding

                                       16
<PAGE>
amounts upon the occurrence of certain events. Accordingly, all revolving Credit
amounts are classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. All outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Agreement are due in
December 2002.

The Credit Agreement also provides for a $3,400,000 term loan (the "Term Loan")
and a $3,500,000 capital expenditure facility (the "Cap Ex Facility"). The Term
Loan bears interest, payable monthly, at the Alternate Base Rate (8.73% at
February 26, 2000) plus 2.00%. Principal payments on the Term Loan will equal
monthly principal payments in the amount of $56,667 for 60 months beginning in
January 1998. Additionally, 50% of annual excess cash flow, as defined in the
Cap Ex Facility, must be applied to the Term Loan installments in the inverse
order of maturity.

Borrowings under the Cap Ex Facility are limited to 80% of the cost of new
machinery and equipment, limited to annual utilization of $1,500,000. These
borrowings also bear interest, payable monthly, at the Alternate Base Rate (8.73
% at February 26, 2000) plus 2.00%. Principal payments on the Cap Ex Facility
commence one month after the related borrowing in an amount based on a five year
amortization for borrowings made prior to October 4, 1998 and a three year
amortization for borrowings made subsequent to October 4, 1998. However, a
balloon payment in an amount equal to all outstanding borrowings under the Cap
Ex Facility is also due in December 2002. As of February 26, 2000, the Company
had outstanding borrowings under the Cap Ex Facility totaling $2,235,000;
principal payments are currently set at the rate of $75,000 per month.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by all of the Company's
present and future assets. At February 26, 2000, the Company was not in
violation of any restrictive financial covenant. New restrictive financial
covenants including Minimum Tangible Net Worth, Minimum EBITDA, Maximum Loss,
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage, Maximum Leverage and Maximum Capital
Expenditures, reflective of consolidated Tristar Corporation and Tristar USA
(See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) for periods
beyond November 1999 have been agreed upon. Additional covenants limit
borrowings, asset sales and dividends.

The Company also purchases certain equipment, primarily office furniture,
computer equipment and software, under long-term purchase agreements. These
amounts are not material to the Company's cash flow. The Company does not have
any plans to pay any cash dividends on the Common or the Series A and B
Preferred Stock in the foreseeable future. Further, payments of such dividends
are subject to restrictions imposed by the Company's principal lender in
connection with the existing Credit Agreement. During the twenty-six week period
ended February 26, 2000, the Company paid $228,000 in dividends to the holders
of the Series C Preferred Stock.

The Company believes the lines of credit, together with cash generated by
operations should provide sufficient cash to meet the requirements of the
Company for fiscal 2000.

In September 1998, the Company completed a private placement whereby it sold
78,333 shares of Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C
Preferred Stock") to a private investor. Effective October 14, 1999, the Company
completed a second private placement whereby it sold additional 21,667 shares of
the Series C Preferred Stock to a private investor for $60 per share.

The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to receive a cumulative
cash dividend of $4.80 per annum. The dividend is payable quarterly ($1.20 per
share). The dividends may be paid by issuance of additional shares of Series C
Preferred Stock except such shares bear a cumulative cash dividend of $7.80 per
share annually. Dividends of approximately $228,000 were paid in cash on the
Series C Preferred Stock during the twenty-six week period ended February 26,
2000. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a
liquidation preference equal to $60.00 per share plus interest thereon from the
date of issue until redemption or conversion at a compound rate of 20% per year.
The Series C Preferred Stock has full voting rights based on the number of
common shares into which it is convertible and is voted together with the Common
Stock as one class.

                                       17
<PAGE>
The holders of the Company's Series A and B Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive cumulative dividends of $.315 per share and $2.03 per share,
respectively. To date, no dividends have been paid on the Series A and B
Preferred Stock except those paid in connection with the sale of the Company's
wholly owned Mexican subsidiary. Dividends accumulated on the Series A and B
Preferred Stock for the thirteen week periods ended February 26, 2000 and
February 27, 1999 of approximately $103,000 and $103,000,respectively and for
the twenty-six periods then ended of approximately $206,000 and $216,000,
respectively have been reflected as a reduction in net loss applicable to common
stock. Cumulative dividends in arrears on the Series A and B Preferred Stock
totaled approximately $1,261,000 at February 26, 2000.

ITEM 3.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may occur due to adverse changes in
financial market prices, including interest rate risk and foreign currency
exchange risk, and the effect they may have on the financial position, results
of operation or cash flow of the Company.

The Company's short term and long term debt at February 26, 2000 bears interest
at variable rates (See Notes 4 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). A one-percentage point increase in the effective interest rate on
the debt based on amounts outstanding at February 26, 2000 result in an
approximate $200,000 reduction in annual pretax earnings. This estimate assumes
no change in the volume or composition of the short term and long term debt as
of February 26, 2000.

The Company's direct exports comprise approximately 35 % of net sales for the
twenty-six week periods ended February 26, 2000. In addition, certain U.S. based
customers ultimately distribute the Company's products into foreign countries.
As a result, the Company has exposure to risk associated with the decrease in
value of foreign currencies. Although the risk cannot be quantified, any
significant decrease in value of the currency of foreign countries where the
Company's products are distributed could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's sales and results of operations.
