ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BACKGROUND

      Revlon Worldwide Corporation ("Revlon Worldwide" and together with its
subsidiaries, the "Company") is a holding company, formed in 1993, that
conducts its business exclusively through its indirect subsidiary, Revlon
Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation"). The Company operates in
a single business segment with many different products, which include an
extensive array of glamorous, exciting and innovative cosmetics and skin care,
fragrance, personal care and professional products. REVLON is one of the
world's best known names in cosmetics and is a leading mass market cosmetics
brand. The Company's vision is to provide glamour, excitement and innovation
through quality products at affordable prices. To pursue this vision, the
Company's management team combines the creativity of a cosmetics and fashion
company with the marketing, sales and operating discipline of a consumer
packaged goods company. The Company believes that its global brand name
recognition, product quality and marketing experience have enabled it to create
one of the strongest consumer brand franchises in the world, with products sold
in approximately 175 countries and territories. The Company's products are
marketed under such well-known brand names as REVLON, COLORSTAY, REVLON AGE
DEFYING, ALMAY and ULTIMA II in cosmetics; MOON DROPS, ETERNA 27, REVLON
RESULTS, ALMAY TIME-OFF, ULTIMA II, JEANNE GATINEAU and NATURAL HONEY in skin
care; CHARLIE, FIRE & ICE, CIARA, CHERISH, and JONTUE in fragrances; FLEX,
OUTRAGEOUS, AQUAMARINE, MITCHUM, COLORSILK, JEAN NATE, BOZZANO and COLORAMA in
personal care products; and ROUX FANCI-FULL, REALISTIC, CREME OF NATURE,
FERMODYL, VOILA, COLOMER, CREATIVE NAIL DESIGN SYSTEMS and AMERICAN CREW in
professional products. To further strengthen its consumer brand franchises, the
Company markets each core brand with a distinct and uniform global image
including packaging and advertising, while retaining the flexibility to tailor
products to local and regional preferences.

      The Company was founded by Charles Revson, who revolutionized the
cosmetics industry by introducing nail enamels matched to lipsticks in fashion
colors 65 years ago. Today, the Company has leading market positions in many of
its principal product categories in the United States self-select distribution
channel. The Company's leading market positions for its REVLON brand products
include the number one positions in the United States self-select distribution
channel in lip makeup and nail enamel (which the Company has occupied for the
past 20 years) for 1996. The Company has the number two position in face makeup
in the United States self-select distribution channel for 1996. Propelled by
the success of its new product launches and share gains in its existing product
lines, the Company has captured the number one position overall in color
cosmetics (consisting of lip, eye and face makeup and nail enamel) in the
United States self-select distribution channel, where its market share was
21.5% for 1996. The Company also has leading market positions in several
product categories in certain markets outside of the United States, including
in Brazil, Canada, South Africa and Australia.

      The self-select distribution channel, in which consumers select their own
purchases without the assistance of an in-store demonstrator, includes in the
United States independent drug stores and chain drug stores (such as Walgreens,
CVS Drug stores, Eckerd Drug stores and Revco), mass volume retailers (such as
Wal-Mart, Target Stores and Kmart) and supermarkets and combination
supermarket/drug stores (such as Pathmark, Albertson's, Kroger's and Smith's)
and, internationally, Boots in the United Kingdom and Western Europe, and
Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada.

      The Company operates in a single business segment with many different
products, which include cosmetics and skin care, fragrance and personal care
products ("consumer products"), and hair and nail care products principally for
use in and resale by professional salons ("professional products"). To reflect
the integration of management reporting responsibilities culminating in the
third quarter of 1996, the Company presents its business geographically as its
United States operation, which comprises the Company's business in the United
States, and its International operation, which comprises its business outside
of the United States. The Company previously presented its business as the
Consumer Group, which comprised the Company's consumer products operations
throughout the world (except principally Spain, Portugal, and Italy) and
professional products operations in certain markets, principally in South
Africa and Argentina, and the Professional Group, which comprised the Company's
professional products operations throughout the world (except principally South
Africa and Argentina) and consumer products operations in Spain, Portugal and
Italy.

      On March 5, 1996, Revlon, Inc., which up to that time had been a wholly
owned subsidiary of Revlon Worldwide, completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") in which it issued and sold 8,625,000 shares of its Class A Common
Stock for $24.00 per share. The proceeds, net of underwriter's discount and
related fees and expenses, of $187.8 million were contributed to Products
Corporation and used to repay borrowings outstanding under Products
Corporation's credit agreement in effect at that time (the "Former Credit
Agreement") and to pay fees and expenses related to the credit agreement which
became effective on March 5, 1996 (the "Credit Agreement").

      In January 1996, Products Corporation entered into the Credit Agreement
which became effective upon consummation of the Offering on March 5, 1996. The
Credit Agreement includes the following changes from the Former Credit
Agreement, among other things: (i) an extension of the term of the facilities
from June 30, 1997 to December 31, 2000 (subject to earlier termination in
certain circumstances), (ii) a reduction of the interest rates, (iii) an
increase in the amount of the credit facilities from $500 million to $600
million and (iv) the release of security interests in assets of certain foreign
subsidiaries of Products Corporation which were previously pledged. The Credit
Agreement is comprised of four senior secured facilities: a $130 million term
loan facility, a $220 million multi-currency facility, a $200 million revolving
acquisition facility and a $50 million standby letter of credit facility.

      Revlon Worldwide was incorporated in Delaware in March 1993 to hold the
capital stock of Revlon, Inc. On June 24, 1992, Revlon, Inc., through Products
Corporation, succeeded to assets and liabilities of the cosmetics and skin
care, fragrance and personal care products business of Revlon Holdings Inc.
("Holdings"). Holdings retained certain small brands that historically had not
been profitable (the "Retained Brands") and certain other assets and
liabilities. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company
or Revlon relating to dates or periods prior to the formation of Revlon, Inc.
and Products Corporation mean the cosmetics and skin care, fragrance and
personal care products business of Holdings to which Revlon, Inc., through
Products Corporation, has succeeded. The Company's business is conducted
through its indirect subsidiary Products Corporation. Unless the context
otherwise requires, all references in this Form 10-K to the Company or Revlon
mean Revlon Worldwide and its subsidiaries.

      Revlon Worldwide is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews &
Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews Holdings"), a corporation wholly owned
through Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings" and, together with MacAndrews
Holdings, "MacAndrews & Forbes") by Ronald O. Perelman. As a result of the
Offering, MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owns 11,250,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock and all 31,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (representing
83.1% of the outstanding shares of Revlon, Inc.'s common stock ("Revlon Common
Stock") which together have approximately 97.4% of the combined voting power of
the outstanding shares of Revlon Common Stock). Additionally, the Company
recognized a $187.8 million gain on this transaction.

      All United States market share and market position data herein for the
Company's brands are based upon retail dollar sales which are derived from A.C.
Nielsen data. A.C. Nielsen measures retail sales volume of products sold in the
United States self-select distribution channel. Such data represent A.C.
Nielsen's estimates based upon data gathered by A.C. Nielsen from market
samples. Such data are therefore subject to some degree of variance.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

      The Company's business strategy, which implements its vision and is
intended to continue to improve operating performance, is to:

o  Strengthen and broaden its core brands through globalization of marketing
   and advertising, product development and manufacturing and through
   increasing its emphasis on advertising and promotion.

o  Lead the industry in the development and introduction of technologically
   advanced innovative products that set new trends.

o  Expand the Company's presence in all markets in which the Company competes
   and enter new and emerging markets.



                                       3

o  Continue to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies, customer
   service and product quality by reducing overhead, rationalizing factory
   operations, upgrading management information systems, globally sourcing raw
   materials and components and carefully managing working capital.

o  Continue to expand market share and product lines through possible
   strategic acquisitions or joint ventures.

April 1996 , the Company sells men's shampoos, conditioners, gels, and other
hair care products for use by professional salons. The Company also sells
retail hair care products under the LLONGUERAS, PERSONAL BIO POINT, GENIOL,
FIXPRAY and LANOFIL brands outside the United States. The Company markets in
salons, beauty supply stores and the self-select distribution channel several
lines of hair relaxers, styling products, hair conditioners and other hair care
products under such names as FABU-LAXER and CREME OF NATURE designed for the
particular needs of ethnic consumers. The Company has developed a new exclusive
line of ethnic products, AROSCI, which was successfully launched in 1996. The
Company also sells wigs and hair pieces to retail outlets and certain
professional salons under the REVLON brand and, pursuant to a license, under
the ADOLFO brand.

MARKETING

      The Company's vision is to provide glamour, excitement and innovation
through quality products at affordable prices. The Company's marketing efforts
are designed to implement this vision. The Company has formed Global Marketing
Committees, consisting of managers from the Company's marketing, research and
development, operations, advertising and finance departments from the United
States and abroad, which develop strategies for the Company's current and new
brands and products. The Global Marketing Committees coordinate the Company's
globalization efforts while allowing sufficient flexibility to tailor products
to local and regional preferences.

      Consumer Products. The Company markets extensive consumer product lines
at a range of retail prices primarily through the self-select distribution
channel and markets select premium lines through demonstrator-assisted
channels. Each line is distinctively positioned and is marketed globally with
consistently recognizable logos, packaging and advertising designed to
differentiate it from other brands. The Company's existing consumer product
lines are 


                                       6
<PAGE>


carefully segmented, and new product lines are developed, to target specific
consumer needs as measured by focus groups and other market research
techniques.

      The Company uses print and television advertising and point-of-sale
merchandising, including displays and samples. The Company has shifted a
significant portion of its marketing to appeal to a broader audience and has
increased media advertising, particularly national television advertising. The
Company increased advertising expenditures by 17.3% for 1996 over 1995 levels
and by 26.2% for 1995 over 1994 levels. The Company's marketing emphasizes a
uniform global image and product for its portfolio of core brands, including
REVLON, COLORSTAY, REVLON AGE DEFYING, ALMAY, ULTIMA II, FLEX, CHARLIE,
OUTRAGEOUS and MITCHUM. The Company coordinates advertising campaigns with
in-store promotional and other marketing activities. The Company develops
jointly with retailers carefully tailored advertising, point-of-purchase and
other focused marketing programs. The Company has devoted greater resources to
promotional sales of its permanent line of products and reduced the number of
promotional sales of non-recurring products, which historically have had a
higher cost of sales and resulted in larger sales returns. In the self-select
distribution channel, the Company uses network and spot television advertising,
national cable advertising and print advertising in major general interest,
women's fashion and women's service magazines, as well as coupons, magazine
inserts and point-of-sale testers. In the demonstrator-assisted distribution
channel, the Company principally uses cooperative advertising programs with
retailers, supported by Company-paid or Company-subsidized demonstrators and
coordinated in-store promotions and displays.

      The Company also has developed unique marketing materials such as the
"Revlon Report", a glossy, color pamphlet distributed in magazines and on
merchandising units, available in 30 countries and 16 languages, which
highlights seasonal and other fashion and color trends, describes the Company's
products that address those trends and contains coupons, rebate offers and
other promotional material to encourage consumers to try the Company's
products. The Company has created two Color Mobiles, which are on-the-road
beauty sampling and information vehicles patterned on the innovative vehicles
that launched COLORSTAY lipcolor, that travel to major retailers in the United
States, at which Company trainers educate consumers on the COLORSTAY and REVLON
AGE DEFYING collections and the latest product and shade offerings. The Color
Mobiles create consumer and retail excitement about the Company's new products
and encourage trial and purchase by consumers. Other marketing materials
designed to introduce the Company's newest products to consumers and encourage
trial and purchase include point-of-sale testers on the Company's display units
that provide information about the Company's products and permit consumers to
test the products, thereby achieving the benefits of an in-store demonstrator
without the corresponding cost, magazine inserts containing samples of the
Company's newest products, trial size products and "shade samplers," which are
collections of trial size products in different shades. Additionally, the
Company has its own website which features current product and promotional
information.

      Professional Products. Professional products are marketed through
educational seminars, advertising, displays and samples to communicate to
professionals and consumers the quality and performance characteristics of such
products. The shift to exclusive line distributors will significantly reinforce
the Company's marketing and educational efforts with salon professionals. The
Company believes that its presence in the professional markets benefits its
consumer products business since the Company is able to anticipate consumer
trends in hair, nail and skin care, which often appear first in salons.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      The Company believes that it is an industry leader in the development of
innovative and technologically advanced consumer and professional products. The
Company's marketing and research and development groups identify consumer needs
and shifts in consumer preferences in order to develop new product
introductions, tailor line extensions and promotions and redesign or
reformulate existing products to satisfy such needs or preferences. The
Company's Advanced Concept Group consists of a select group of researchers that
conducts research on a wide range of areas to develop new and innovative
technology. The Company independently develops substantially all of its new
products. The Company also has entered into joint research projects with major
universities and commercial laboratories worldwide to develop advanced
technologies.

      The Company believes that its Edison, New Jersey facility is one of the
most extensive cosmetics research and development facilities in the United
States. The Edison facility is responsible for all new product research
worldwide. 


                                       7
<PAGE>


The Edison facility performs research for new products, ideas, concepts and
packaging. Research and development for consumer products is also conducted at
manufacturing facilities in Brazil. Research and development for the
professional products is conducted principally at the Edison facility.

      The research and development group at the Edison facility performs
extensive safety and quality tests on the Company's products, including
toxicology, microbiology and package testing. Additionally, quality control
testing is performed at each manufacturing facility.

      In certain instances, proprietary technology developed for use in
products and packaging is available for licensing to third parties. The Company
received the Innovation Award from the Coalition of NorthEast Governors
("CONEG") for its ENVIRO*GLUV glass decorating technology (which resulted in
significant cost reductions in decorating REVLON AGE DEFYING and COLORSTAY
makeup bottles and REVLON nail enamel bottles in 1996 and which is being
offered for licensing to qualified glass decorators). The CONEG challenge
awards program is a nationwide competition to publicly recognize companies that
make significant contributions to environmental issues relating to packaging
and source reduction.

      As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 200 people in
its research and development activities, including specialists in pharmacology,
toxicology, chemistry, microbiology, engineering, biology, dermatology and
quality control. In 1996, the Company spent approximately $26.3 million, on
research and development activities.

MANUFACTURING AND RELATED OPERATIONS AND RAW MATERIALS

      The Company is rationalizing its worldwide manufacturing operations which
is intended to lower costs and improve customer service and product quality.
The globalization of the Company's core brands allows it to centralize
production of some product categories for sale throughout the world within
designated facilities and shift production of certain other product categories
to more cost effective manufacturing sites to reduce production costs. Shifts
of production may result in the closing of certain of the Company's less
significant manufacturing facilities, and the Company continually reviews its
needs in this regard. In addition, as part of its efforts to continuously
improve operating efficiencies, the Company attempts to ensure that a
significant portion of its capital expenditures are devoted to improving
operating efficiencies.

      In the United States, the Company manufactures REVLON brand color
cosmetics, personal care products and fragrances for sale in the United States,
Japan and most of the countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia at its
Phoenix, Arizona facility. The Company manufactures ULTIMA II cosmetics and
skin treatment products for sale in the United States and most of the countries
in Latin America and Southeast Asia, personal care products for sale in the
United States and ALMAY brand products for sale throughout the world at its
Oxford, North Carolina facility. Nail care and other implements for sale
throughout the world are manufactured at the Company's Irvington, New Jersey
facility and Vista, California facility. The Company manufactures salon and
retail professional products and personal care consumer products for sale in
the United States and Canada at the Company's Jacksonville, Florida facility.
The Phoenix facility has been ISO-9002 certified.

      The Company manufactures its entire line of consumer products (except
implements) for sale in most of the countries of Europe at its Maesteg, South
Wales facility. Local production of cosmetics and personal care products takes
place at the Company's facilities in Spain, Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, New
Zealand, Brazil, Australia and South Africa. The manufacture of professional
products for sale by retailers outside the United States has been centralized
principally at the Company's facilities in Ireland, Spain and Italy. Production
of color cosmetics for Japan and Mexico has been shifted to the United States
while production of personal care products for Argentina has been centralized
in Brazil. The Maestag facility has been certified by the British equivalent of
ISO-9002.

      The Company purchases raw materials and components throughout the world.
The Company continuously pursues reductions in cost of goods through the global
sourcing of raw materials and components from qualified vendors, utilizing its
large purchasing capacity to maximize cost savings. The global sourcing of raw
materials and components from accredited vendors also ensures the quality of
the raw materials and components. The Company 


                                       8
<PAGE>


believes that alternate sources of raw materials and components exist and does
not anticipate any significant shortages of, or difficulty in obtaining, such
materials.

      The Company's improvements in manufacturing, sourcing and related
operations have contributed to improved customer service, including an
improvement in the percentage of timely order fulfillment at the Company's
manufacturing sites in Oxford, North Carolina; Phoenix, Arizona; Irvington, New
Jersey; and Maesteg, South Wales; and the timeliness and accuracy of new
product and promotion deliveries. To promote the Company's understanding of,
and responsiveness to the needs of its retail customers, the Company assigns
members of senior operations management to lead inter-departmental teams that
visit significant accounts, and has provided retail accounts with a designated
customer service representative. As a result of these efforts, accompanied by
stronger and more customer-focused management, the Company has developed strong
relationships with its retailers.

      The Company emphasizes safety and increased training of employees
resulting in an improved safety record. The Company anticipates that the
globalization of, and continued improvement in, the quality of its
manufacturing operations will result in lower manufacturing costs.

BUSINESS PROCESS ENHANCEMENTS

      The Company's management information systems have been substantially
upgraded to provide comprehensive order processing, production and accounting
support for the Company's business. The Company's expenditures on improvements
to its management information systems were approximately $13 million for 1996.
The Company intends to continue to upgrade management information systems in
1997, which will include improved systems for forecasting, production,
inventory management, order processing, general and fixed asset ledgers and
others. Systems improvements have been and the Company anticipates that they
will continue to be instrumental in contributing to the reduction of the time
from order entry to shipment, improved forecasting of demand and improved
operating efficiencies.

DISTRIBUTION

      As a result of its improved customer service and consumer traffic
generated by its products and innovative marketing programs, the Company
believes that its relationships with self-select distribution cosmetic
retailers are the best in the cosmetics industry.

      The Company's products are sold in approximately 175 countries and
territories. The Company's worldwide sales force had approximately 2,100 people
as of December 31, 1996, including a dedicated sales force for cosmetics, skin
care and fragrance products in the self-select distribution channel, for the
demonstrator-assisted distribution channel, for personal care products
distribution and for salon distribution. In addition, the Company utilizes
sales representatives and independent distributors to serve specialized markets
and related distribution channels.

      United States. The United States operation's net sales accounted for
approximately 58.0% of the Company's 1996 net sales. Of these net sales,
approximately 86% were made in the self-select distribution channel. However,
the Company intends to use premium products such as ULTIMA II to maintain its
presence in the demonstrator-assisted distribution channel. The Company also
sells a broad range of consumer and retail professional products to United
States Government military exchanges and commissaries. The Company licenses its
trademarks to select manufacturers for products that the Company believes have
the potential to extend the Company's brand names and image. As of December 31,
1996, 19 licenses were in effect relating to 23 product categories to be
marketed in the self-select distribution channel. Pursuant to the licenses, the
Company retains strict control over product design and development, product
quality, advertising and use of its trademarks. These licensing arrangements
offer opportunities for the Company to generate revenues and cash flow through
earned royalties, royalty advances and, in some cases, up-front licensing fees.
Products designed for professional use or resale by beauty salons are sold
through wholesale beauty supply distributors and directly to professional
salons. Various hair care products, such as ethnic hair relaxers, scalp
conditioners, shampoos and hair coloring products and wigs and hairpieces are
sold directly and through wholesalers to chain drug stores and mass volume
retailers. Wigs and hairpieces are also sold through mail order direct
marketing, retail outlet malls, salons and certain department stores.


                                       9
<PAGE>

      The Company also operates through Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc.
("PFC"), a subsidiary of Products Corporation, approximately 200 retail outlet
stores throughout the United States in factory outlet malls, rural areas and
other similar locations that are not disruptive to the Company's principal
distribution channels. In these stores, the Company sells first quality, first
quality excess, returned and refurbished, and discontinued consumer products
and retail professional products, as well as similar products of competing
cosmetics companies. On November 27, 1996, Products Corporation and PFC entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with The Cosmetic Center, Inc. ("Cosmetic
Center") pursuant to which PFC will merge with and into Cosmetic Center, with
Cosmetic Center surviving the merger (the "Merger"). In the Merger, Products
Corporation would receive newly issued Class C common stock of Cosmetic Center
constituting between 74% and 84% of the outstanding common stock. The Merger is
subject to a number of significant conditions, including obtaining financing
for Cosmetic Center and approval of the transaction by Cosmetic Center
stockholders, among other conditions. Subject to satisfaction of these
conditions, the transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of
1997.

      International. The International operation's net sales accounted for
approximately 42.0% of the Company's 1996 net sales. The International
operation's ten largest countries in terms of these sales, which include
Brazil, Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Canada and Spain,
accounted for approximately 30.7% of the Company's net sales in 1996, with
Brazil accounting for approximately 6.1% of the Company's net sales. The
International operation is increasing distribution through the expanding
self-select distribution channels outside the United States, such as drug
stores/chemists, hypermarkets/mass volume retailers and variety stores, as
these channels gain importance. The International operation also distributes
through department stores and specialty stores such as perfumeries. The
International operation's professional products are sold directly to beauty
salons by the Company's direct sales force in Spain, France, Germany, Portugal,
Italy, Mexico and Ireland and through distributors in other countries. The
Company actively sells its products through wholly owned subsidiaries in 26
countries outside of the United States, through joint ventures in India and
Indonesia, and through a large number of distributors and licensees elsewhere
around the world. The Company continues to pursue strategies to establish its
presence in new emerging markets. Such new and emerging markets include Eastern
Europe; South Korea; Southeast Asia; Chile; the Middle East; India; and China,
where in 1996 the Company established a subsidiary with a local minority
partner. In addition, the Company is building a franchise through local
distributorships in northern and central Africa, where the Company intends to
expand the distribution of its products by capitalizing on its market strengths
in South Africa.

CUSTOMERS

      The Company's principal customers include chain drug stores and large
mass volume retailers, including such well known retailers as Wal-Mart,
Walgreens, Kmart, Target, CVS Drug Stores, Drug Emporium, American Drug Stores,
Eckerd Drug stores, Revco and Thrifty Payless in the self-select distribution
channel, J.C. Penney in the demonstrator-assisted distribution channel, Sally's
Beauty Company for professional products, Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada and
Boots in the United Kingdom and Western Europe. The foregoing customers are
representative of the Company's customers, and for 1996, each of the foregoing
customers accounted for 1% or more of the Company's net sales. Wal-Mart and its
affiliates accounted for approximately 10.1% of the Company's 1996 consolidated
net sales. Although the loss of Wal-Mart as a customer could have an adverse
effect on the Company, the Company believes that its relationship with Wal-Mart
is satisfactory and the Company has no reason to believe that Wal-Mart will not
continue as a customer.

COMPETITION

      The cosmetics and skin care, fragrance, personal care and professional
products business is characterized by vigorous competition throughout the
world. Brand recognition, together with product quality, performance and price
and the extent to which consumers are educated on product benefits, have a
marked influence on consumers' choices among competing products and brands.
Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging, and the timing of new
product introductions and line extensions, also have a significant impact on
buying decisions, and the structure and quality of the sales force affect
product reception, in-store position, permanent display space and inventory
levels in retail outlets. The Company competes in most of its product
categories against a number of companies, some of which have substantially
greater resources than the Company. In addition to products sold in the
self-select and demonstrator-assisted distribution channels, the Company's
products also compete with similar products sold door-to-door or through mail
order or telemarketing by representatives of direct sales companies. The
Company's 


                                      10
<PAGE>


principal competitors include L'Oreal S.A., The Procter & Gamble Company,
Helene Curtis Industries, Inc., and Joh A. Benckiser GmbH in the self-select
distribution channel; L'Oreal S.A., Unilever N.V., Estee Lauder, Inc. and Joh
A. Benckiser GmbH in the demonstrator-assisted distribution channel; and
L'Oreal S.A. and Matrix Essentials, Inc., which is owned by Bristol-Myers
Squibb Company, in professional products.

SEASONALITY

      The Company's business is subject to certain seasonal fluctuations, with
net sales in the second half of the year generally benefiting from increased
retailer purchases in the United States for the back-to-school and Christmas
selling seasons.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

      The Company's major trademarks are registered in the United States and in
many other countries, and the Company considers trademark protection to be very
important to its business. Significant trademarks include REVLON, COLORSTAY,
REVLON AGE DEFYING, FLEX, MITCHUM, ETERNA 27, ULTIMA II, ALMAY, CHARLIE, JEAN
NATE, REVLON RESULTS, COLORAMA, FIRE & ICE, MOON DROPS, SUPER LUSTROUS and
WONDERWEAR LIPSEXXXY for consumer products and REVLON, ROUX FANCI-FULL,
REALISTIC, FERMODYL, COLOMER, CREATIVE NAIL, AMERICAN CREW, R PRO and
INTERCOSMO for professional products.

      The Company utilizes certain proprietary or patented technologies in the
formulation or manufacture of a number of the Company's products, including
COLORSTAY lipcolor and cosmetics, FLEX & GO shampoo, LENGTHWISE mascara, REVLON
nail enamel, REVLON AGE DEFYING foundation and cosmetics, NEW COMPLEXION
makeup, WONDERWEAR foundation, WONDERWEAR LIPSEXXXY lipstick, DAY INTO NIGHT
eyeshadows, ALMAY TIME-OFF skin care and makeup, OUTRAGEOUS shampoo, FLEX
hairspray and various professional products, including FERMODYL shampoo and
conditioners. The Company also protects certain of its packaging and component
concepts through design patents. The Company considers its proprietary
technology and patent protection to be important to its business.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

      The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission and
the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") in the United States, as well as
various other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities. The
Phoenix, Arizona and Oxford, North Carolina manufacturing facilities are
registered with the FDA as drug manufacturing establishments, permitting the
manufacture of cosmetics that contain over-the-counter drug ingredients such as
sunscreens. Compliance with federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations pertaining to discharge of materials into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had, and is
not anticipated to have, a material effect upon the capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position of the Company. State and local regulations in
the United States that are designed to protect consumers or the environment
have an increasing influence on product claims, contents and packaging.

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS

      The Company operates in a single business segment. Certain information
concerning geographic segments of the Company is set forth in Note 15 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

EMPLOYEES

      As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed the equivalent of
approximately 14,300 full-time persons. Approximately 2,100 of such employees
in the United States at the end of 1996 were covered by collective bargaining
agreements. The agreements covering employees in Phoenix, Arizona and
Jacksonville, Florida expire in 1997. In addition, the Company will be
negotiating collective bargaining agreements or portions thereof covering
employees in twelve countries outside the United States during 1997. The
Company expects that such agreements will be renewed in the ordinary course of
negotiations, and further believes that its employee relations are
satisfactory.

requirements. Products Corporation leases from Holdings on arms' length terms
its research and development facility located in Edison, New Jersey.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

OVERVIEW

      The Company operates in a single business segment with many different
products, which include an extensive array of glamorous, exciting and
innovative cosmetics and skin care, fragrance and personal care products, and
professional products, consisting of hair and nail care products for use
principally in and resale by professional salons. In addition, the Company also
operates retail outlet stores and has a licensing group.

      To reflect the integration of management reporting responsibilities
culminating in the third quarter of 1996, the Company presents its business
geographically as its United States operation, which comprises the Company's
business in the United States, and its International operation, which comprises
its business outside of the United States. The Company previously presented its
business as the Consumer Group, which comprised the Company's consumer products
operations throughout the world (except principally Spain, Portugal and Italy)
and professional products operations in certain markets, principally in South
Africa and Argentina, and the Professional Group, which comprised the Company's
professional products operations throughout the world (except principally South
Africa and Argentina) and consumer products operations in Spain, Portugal and
Italy. The Company has restated the management's discussion and analysis data
for prior periods to conform to the presentation for 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by operation for

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

 NET SALES

      Net sales were $2,167.0 and $1,937.8 for 1996 and 1995, respectively, an
increase of $229.2, or 11.8%, primarily as a result of successful new product
introductions worldwide, increased demand in the United States, 

                                      14
<PAGE>


acquisitions of certain exclusive line professional product businesses,
increased distribution internationally into the expanding self-select
distribution channel and the further development of new international markets.

      United States. The United States operation's net sales increased to
$1,257.2 for 1996 from $1,113.2 for 1995, an increase of $144.0, or 12.9%. Net
sales improved for 1996 primarily as a result of continued consumer acceptance
of new product offerings, general improvement in consumer demand for the
Company's color cosmetics in the United States and acquisitions of certain
exclusive line professional product businesses, partially offset by overall
softness in the fragrance industry and lower sales of one of the Company's
prestige brands. The Company improved the dollar share of its Revlon branded
cosmetics in the color cosmetics business in the United States self-select
distribution channel to 21.5% for 1996 from 19.8% for 1995, moving into the
leading position in market share. Market share, which is subject to a number of
conditions, can vary from quarter to quarter as a result of such things as
timing of new product introductions and advertising and promotional spending.
New product introductions (including, in 1996, certain products launched during
1995) generated incremental net sales in 1996, principally as a result of
launches of products in the COLORSTAY collection, including COLORSTAY
foundation, lip makeup, eye makeup and COLORSTAY LASHCOLOR mascara, launches of
products in the ALMAY AMAZING collection, including lip makeup, eye makeup,
face makeup and concealer, and launches of CHERISH fragrance and MITCHUM CLEAR
and ALMAY CLEAR COMPLEXION line extensions.

      International. The International operation's net sales increased to
$909.8 for 1996 from $824.6 for 1995, an increase of $85.2, or 10.3% on a
reported basis or 12.6% on a constant U.S. dollar basis. Net sales improved
principally as a result of successful new product introductions, including the
continued roll-out of the COLORSTAY cosmetics collection and REVLON AGE DEFYING
makeup, increased distribution into the expanding self-select distribution
channel, the further development of new international markets, partially
offset, on a reported basis, by the unfavorable effect on sales of a stronger
U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies, primarily the South African
rand, Japanese yen, and several European currencies. The International
operation's sales are divided into the following geographic areas: Europe,
which is comprised of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (in which net sales
increased to $404.0 for 1996 from $374.6 for 1995, an increase of $29.4, or
7.8%); the Western Hemisphere, which is comprised of Canada, Mexico, Central
America, South America and Puerto Rico (in which net sales increased to $311.9
for 1996 from $275.4 for 1995, an increase of $36.5, or 13.3%); and the Far
East (in which net sales increased to $193.9 for 1996 from $174.6 for 1995, an
increase of $19.3, or 11.1%).

      The Company's operations in Brazil are significant and, along with
operations in certain other countries, have been subject to, and may continue
to be subject to, significant political and economic uncertainties. In Brazil,
net sales, operating income and income before taxes were $132.7, $25.1 and
$20.0, respectively, for 1996 compared to $118.6, $22.8 and $19.8,
respectively, for 1995. In Mexico, net sales for 1996 and 1995 were adversely
affected by the December 1994 devaluation of the Mexican peso and related
economic weakness. Additionally, Mexico will be considered a hyperinflationary
economy beginning in 1997. In Venezuela, net sales and income before taxes for
1996 and 1995 were adversely affected by high inflation and in the 1996 period
by a currency devaluation.

 Cost of sales

      As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 33.5% for 1996 compared
to 33.7% for 1995, respectively. The improvement for 1996 resulted from the
benefits of improved overhead absorption against higher production volumes and
more efficient global production and purchasing. This improvement was partially
offset by changes in product mix involving an increase in sales of the
Company's higher cost technology-based products, an increase in export sales,
lower margin products (such as those products sold in Brazil), the effect of
weaker local currencies on the cost of imported purchases and competitive
pressures on the Company's toiletries business in certain international
markets. The aforementioned increases in sales that negatively impacted cost of
sales were, however, more profitable to the Company's overall operating
results.

 Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses

      As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 57.3% for 1996, an
improvement from 58.8% for 1995. SG&A expenses other than advertising expense,
as a percentage of net sales, improved to 40.9% for 1996 compared with 43.2%
for 1995 primarily as a result of reduced general and administrative expenses,
improved productivity 

                                      15
<PAGE>

and lower distribution costs in 1996 compared with 1995. In accordance with its
business strategy, the Company increased advertising and consumer-directed
promotion in 1996 compared with 1995 to support growth in existing product
lines, new product launches and increased distribution in the self-select
distribution channel in many of the Company's markets in the International
operation. Advertising expense increased by 17.3% to $355.2, or 16.4% of net
sales, for 1996 compared to $302.7, or 15.6% of net sales, for 1995.

 Operating income

      As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $53.6, or
36.6%, to $200.2 for 1996 from $146.6 for 1995.

 Other expenses/income

      Interest expense was $240.1 for 1996 compared to $237.5 for 1995. The
increase was attributable to the higher accretion of the Senior Secured
Discount Notes, partially offset by lower average outstanding borrowings as a
result of the paydown of debt under the Credit Agreement and under the Former
Credit Agreement with the use of proceeds from the Offering in the 1996 period
and lower interest rates under the Credit Agreement than under the Former
Credit Agreement.

      Foreign currency losses, net, were $5.7 for 1996 compared to $10.9 for
1995. The reduction in the foreign currency loss in 1996 as compared to 1995
was due to lower foreign currency losses primarily in Mexico and Venezuela and
the Company's simplification of its international corporate structure, which
resulted in $2.1 of gains, previously deferred in the currency translation
account, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the
Spanish peseta and the strengthening of the U.K. pound against several European
currencies.

      Miscellaneous, net, was $6.4 for 1996 compared to $1.8 for 1995. The
increase relates primarily to the Company's continued investment in certain
emerging markets.

      Gain on issuance of subsidiary stock in the amount of $187.8 was
recognized as a result of the Offering.

Extraordinary item

      The extraordinary item resulted from the write-off recorded in the first
quarter of 1996 of deferred financing costs associated with the extinguishment
of the Former Credit Agreement prior to its maturity with the net proceeds from
the Offering and borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

Net sales

      Net sales were $1,937.8 and $1,732.5 for 1995 and 1994, respectively, an
increase of $205.3, or 11.8%, primarily as a result of successful new product
introductions worldwide, increased demand in the United States, increased
distribution internationally into the expanding self-select distribution
channel, the development of new international markets and a weaker U.S. dollar
versus most foreign currencies.

      United States. The United States operation's net sales increased to
$1,113.2 for 1995 from $983.2 for 1994, an increase of $130.0, or 13.2%. Net
sales improved primarily as a result of continued consumer acceptance of new
product offerings and general improvement in consumer demand for the Company's
color cosmetics in the United States, contributing to the Company's improved
share of the color cosmetics business in the United States self-select
distribution channel, as well as increased net sales at the retail outlet
stores. New product introductions (including, in 1995, certain products
launched during 1994) generated incremental net sales in 1995, principally as a
result of the June 1994 launch of COLORSTAY lipcolor, the 1994 first quarter
launch of REVLON AGE DEFYING makeup, the 1995 second and third quarter launches
of COLORSTAY lip makeup line extensions and eye and face makeup, respectively,
which are part of the COLORSTAY collection, the 1995 second quarter launches of
REVLON AGE DEFYING line extensions, CHARLIE WHITE fragrance and ALMAY CLEAR
COMPLEXION makeup, and the 1995 third quarter launches of ALMAY TIME-OFF line
extensions and LASTING fragrance.

      International. The International operation's net sales increased to
$824.6 for 1995 from $749.3 for 1994, an increase of $75.3, or 10.0%. Net sales
improved principally as a result of successful new product introductions,
increased distribution into the expanding self-select distribution channel, the
development of new international markets and the favorable effect on sales of a
weaker U.S. dollar versus most foreign currencies, partially offset by lower
unit volume in Mexico and Argentina resulting from recessionary conditions. Net
sales were also favorably affected by the continued roll-out of COLORSTAY
lipcolor, REVLON AGE DEFYING makeup and CHARLIE WHITE fragrance into various
international markets, the continued expansion during the third quarter of 1994
of the ALMAY cosmetics line outside the United States and the expansion during
the third quarter of 1994 of the CHARLIE RED fragrance outside the United
States. Introduction of the COLORSTAY cosmetics collection began in the fourth
quarter of 1995 and continued in the first part of 1996. The International
operation's sales are divided into the following geographic areas: Europe,
which is comprised of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (in which net sales
increased to $374.6 for 1995 from $334.8 for 1994, an increase of $39.8, or
11.9%); the Western Hemisphere, which is comprised of Canada, Mexico, Central
America, South America and Puerto Rico (in which net sales increased to $275.4
for 1995 from $269.7 for 1994, an increase of $5.7, or 2.1%); and the Far East
(in which net sales increased to $174.6 for 1995 from $144.8 for 1994, an
increase of $29.8, or 20.6%).

      The Company's operations in Brazil and Mexico have been subject to
significant political and economic uncertainties. Operations in Brazil were
significantly improved for 1995 over 1994 primarily as a result of higher unit
volume in the first half of 1995. Unit volume in the second half of 1995
declined from the unit volume for the second half of 1994 due to the strong
unit volume in the second half of 1994 as a result of the Brazilian
government's July 1, 1994 introduction of a new economic and monetary policy,
which resulted in increased consumer purchasing. In Brazil, net sales,
operating income and income before taxes were $118.6, $22.8 and $19.8,
respectively, for 1995 compared with $108.1, $29.5 and $14.9, respectively, for
1994. However, net sales and operating income for 1994 benefited from the
hyperinflationary pricing component included in these accounts until the
Brazilian government's July 1, 1994 introduction of a new economic and monetary
policy and related issuance of a new currency, which significantly reduced
inflation. The Company's income before taxes and cash flow from operations in
Brazil for 1994 were not affected to the same extent as operating income
because of a corresponding charge in the foreign currency translation account.
In Mexico, net sales and operating income were $20.5 and $1.6, respectively,
for 1995 compared with $31.1 and $3.2, respectively, for 1994. While the
December 1994 devaluation of the Mexican peso did not have a significant
adverse effect on 1994 operating results in Mexico, 1995 operating results in
Mexico were, and future operating results may continue to be, adversely
affected by this devaluation and other factors such as decreases in unit
volume, limitations on price increases and higher relative costs of products
sourced outside of Mexico. The Company has taken measures to mitigate the
effect of these conditions by increasing prices in line with inflation, where
possible, and efficiently managing its working capital levels.



                                      17
<PAGE>

Cost of sales

      As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 33.7% for 1995, an
improvement from 34.5% for 1994. This improvement resulted from the benefits on
overhead absorption of higher production volumes allocated over a fixed
manufacturing base, and globalization benefits such as more efficient
production and purchasing performance in 1995 compared with 1994, partially
offset by changes in the product mix involving increases in 1995 compared to
1994 in sales of lower margin products sold in Brazil and by the Company's
retail outlet stores. The first half of 1994 included the benefit of the
inflationary component of pricing in Brazil, partially offset by the adverse
impact of higher transition costs associated with factory consolidations
charged to cost of sales for inventory produced in 1993 and sold during 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

      As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 58.8% for 1995 and 59.3%
for 1994. SG&A expenses, other than advertising expense, as a percentage of net
sales improved to 43.2% for 1995 compared with 45.4% for 1994, primarily as a
result of reduced general and administrative expenses and improved productivity
in 1995 compared with 1994, partially offset by higher European regional
headquarters expenses and severance costs in 1995. The Company increased
advertising and consumer directed promotion during 1995 compared with 1994,
principally in the United States and Europe, to support growth in existing
product lines, new product launches and increased distribution in the
self-select distribution channel in Europe in 1995. Advertising expense
increased by 26.2% to $302.7, or 15.6% of net sales, for 1995 from $239.9, or
13.8% of net sales, for 1994.

Operating income

      As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $38.2, or
35.2%, to $146.6 for 1995 from $108.4 for 1994.

Other expenses/income

      Interest expense was $237.5 for 1995 and $221.2 for 1994, an increase of
$16.3, or 7.4%. The increase in 1995 was due to higher outstanding borrowings
under the Company's credit facilities and the higher accretion of the
Senior Secured Discount Notes.

      Foreign currency losses, net, were $10.9 for 1995 and $18.2 for 1994.
Results improved in 1995 primarily as a result of reduced inflation associated
with the Brazilian government's July 1, 1994 introduction of a new economic and
monetary policy and related issuance of a new currency and the January 1995
repayment of approximately $26.9 under the Company's Japanese yen-denominated
credit agreement (the "Yen Credit Agreement"), partially offset by the adverse
effect of currency devaluation in Venezuela primarily in the fourth quarter of
1995.

Provision for income taxes

      The provision for income taxes was $25.4 and $22.8 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily
attributable to higher taxable earnings of certain foreign operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Net cash used for operating activities was $10.2, $51.7 and $1.3 for
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in net cash used for operating
activities for 1996 compared with 1995 resulted primarily from higher operating
income, lower restructuring payments ($13.3 for 1996 compared with $24.2 for
1995) and improved management of inventory relative to business growth,
partially offset by higher trade receivable balances as a result of higher net
sales and increased spending on merchandise display units in connection with
the Company's continued expansion into the self-select distribution channel.
The increase in net cash used for operating activities for 1995 compared with
1994 resulted primarily from an increase in inventories associated with
expected sales volume, higher trade receivable balances, increased spending on
merchandise display units in connection with the Company's continued expansion
into

                                      18
<PAGE>

the self-select distribution channel and higher income taxes paid, net of
refunds, offset in part by higher operating income, lower restructuring
payments ($24.2 for 1995 compared with $37.2 for 1994) and lower severance
payments.

      Net cash used for investing activities was $65.1, $72.5 and $51.0 for
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net cash used for investing activities for
1996, 1995 and 1994 consisted primarily of capital expenditures and in 1996 and
1995 included $7.1 and $21.2, respectively, used for acquisitions. The
Company's capital expenditures for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $58.0, $54.3 and
$52.5, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures through 1996 was
primarily attributable to significant information system enhancements in
accordance with the Company's business strategy.

      Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $78.5, $125.2
and $(48.8) for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net cash provided by
financing activities for 1996 included the net proceeds from the Offering, cash
drawn under the Former Credit Agreement and under the Credit Agreement,
partially offset by the repayment of borrowings under the Former Credit
Agreement, the payment of fees and expenses related to the Credit Agreement and
repayment of approximately $5.2 under the Yen Credit Agreement. Net cash
provided by financing activities for 1995 consisted primarily of borrowings
under the credit agreement of Products Corporation in effect at that time and
borrowings under the Former Credit Agreement, partially offset by repayments of
cash drawn under those credit agreements, repayment of $26.9 under the Yen
Credit Agreement and payment of debt issuance costs under the Former Credit
Agreement. Net cash used for financing activities for 1994 consisted primarily
of repayments of borrowings under the credit agreement of Products Corporation
in effect at that time and a repayment of $12.0 under the Yen Credit Agreement.

      In February 1995, Products Corporation entered into the Former Credit
Agreement, which provided up to $500.0 comprised of three senior secured
facilities: a $100.0 term loan facility, a $225.0 revolving credit facility and
a $175.0 multi-currency facility. Borrowings under the Former Credit Agreement
were used to refinance Products Corporation's previous $150.0 credit agreement,
refinance then existing lines of credit outside of the United States and
refinance approximately $26.9 paid under the Yen Credit Agreement in January
1995. The Former Credit Agreement was scheduled to terminate on June 30, 1997.
The net proceeds of $187.8 from the Offering were contributed to Products
Corporation and were used to repay borrowings under the Former Credit Agreement
and to pay fees and expenses related to the Credit Agreement.

      In January 1996, Products Corporation entered into the Credit Agreement,
which became effective upon consummation of the Offering on March 5, 1996. The
Credit Agreement provides, among other things, (i) an extension of the term of
the facilities from June 30, 1997 to December 31, 2000, subject to earlier
termination in certain circumstances, (ii) a reduction of the interest rates,
(iii) an increase in the aggregate amount of the credit facilities from $500 to
$600 and (iv) the release of security interests in assets of certain foreign
subsidiaries of Products Corporation which were then pledged. The Credit
Agreement is comprised of four senior secured facilities: a $130.0 term loan
facility, a $220.0 multi-currency facility, a $200.0 revolving acquisition
facility and a $50.0 special standby letter of credit facility. As of December
31, 1996, Products Corporation had approximately $130.0 outstanding under the
term loan facility, $57.2 outstanding under the multi-currency facility,
nothing outstanding under the revolving acquisition facility and $33.5
outstanding under the special standby letter of credit facility. In January
1997, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, permit the
Merger of PFC into Cosmetic Center and to generally exclude Cosmetic Center (as
the survivor of the Merger) from the definition of "subsidiary" under the
Credit Agreement. See Note 7(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

      A subsidiary of Products Corporation is the borrower under the Yen Credit
Agreement, which had a principal balance of approximately Yen4.8 billion as
of December 31, 1996 (approximately $41.7 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December
31, 1996). In accordance with the terms of the Yen Credit Agreement,
approximately Yen2.7 billion (approximately $26.9 U.S. dollar equivalent)
was paid in January 1995 and approximately Yen539 million (approximately
$5.2 U.S. dollar equivalent) was paid in January 1996. A payment of
approximately Yen539 million (approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of December 31, 1996) was paid in January 1997 and the balance of the Yen
Credit Agreement of approximately Yen4.3 billion (approximately $37.1 U.S.
dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1996) is currently due on December 31,
1997. Products Corporation is currently renegotiating an extension of the term
of the Yen Credit Agreement. In the event that such extension is not obtained,
Products Corporation is able and intends to refinance the Yen Credit Agreement
under existing long-term credit facilities. 


                                      19
<PAGE>


Accordingly, the Company's obligation under the Yen Credit Agreement has been
classified as long-term as of December 31, 1996.

      The $61.0 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 10 7/8%
Sinking Fund Debentures due 2010 previously purchased on the open market by
Products Corporation (which was not previously used for sinking fund payments,
including the payment in July 1996) and no longer outstanding will be used to
meet future sinking fund requirements of such issue. $9.0 aggregate principal
amount of previously purchased debentures was used for the sinking fund payment
due July 15, 1996.

      Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to time
to supplement its working capital borrowings at interest rates more favorable
to Products Corporation than interest rates under the Credit Agreement. No such
borrowings were outstanding as of December 31, 1996.

      In June 1996, $10.9 in notes due to Products Corporation from Holdings
under the Financing Reimbursement Agreement (See "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions") was offset against an $11.7 demand note payable by
Products Corporation to Holdings.

      The Company's principal sources of funds are expected to be cash flow
generated from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement and other
existing working capital lines. The Company's principal uses of funds are
expected to be the payment of operating expenses, working capital and capital
expenditure requirements and debt service payments.

      The Company estimates that capital expenditures for 1997 will be
approximately $60, including approximately $10 for upgrades to the Company's
management information systems. In addition, cash payments related to the 1991
and 1992 restructuring charges are estimated to be approximately $9 for 1997.
Pursuant to tax sharing agreements (see "Certain Relationships and Related
Party Transactions - Tax Sharing Agreements"), Revlon Worldwide and Revlon,
Inc. may be required to make tax sharing payments to Mafco Holdings Inc. as if
Revlon Worldwide or Revlon Inc., as the case may be, were filing separate
income tax returns, except that no payments are required by Revlon, Inc. if and
to the extent that Products Corporation is prohibited under the Credit
Agreement from making tax sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. The Credit Agreement
prohibits Products Corporation from making any cash tax sharing payments other
than in respect of state and local income taxes. Revlon Worldwide anticipates
that, with respect to Revlon, Inc. as a result of net operating tax losses and
prohibitions under the Credit Agreement and with respect to Revlon Worldwide as
a result of the absence of business operations or source of income of its own,
no federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to the tax
sharing agreements will be required for 1997.

      As of December 31, 1996, Products Corporation was party to a series of
interest rate swap agreements (which expire at various dates through December
2001) totaling a notional amount of $225.0 in which Products Corporation agreed
to pay on such notional amount a variable interest rate equal to the six month
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (5.602% per annum at February 11, 1997) to its
counterparties and the counterparties agreed to pay on such notional amounts
fixed interest rates averaging approximately 6.03% per annum. Products
Corporation entered into these agreements in 1993 and 1994 (and in the first
quarter of 1996 extended a portion equal to a notional amount of $125.0 through
December 2001) to convert the interest rate on $225.0 of fixed-rate
indebtedness to a variable rate. If Products Corporation had terminated these
agreements, which Products Corporation considers to be held for other than
trading purposes, on December 31, 1996, a loss of approximately $3.5 would have
been realized. Certain other swap agreements were terminated in 1993 for a gain
of $14.0. The amortization of the realized gain on these agreements for 1996
and 1995 was approximately $3.2 in each of the years. The remaining unamortized
gain, which is being amortized over the original lives of the agreements, is
$3.1 as of December 31, 1996. Although cash flow from the presently outstanding
agreements was positive for 1996, future positive or negative cash flows from
these agreements will depend upon the trend of short-term interest rates during
the remaining lives of such agreements. Based on current interest rate levels,
Products Corporation expects to have a positive cash flow of $0.6 from these
agreements in 1997, although no assurances can be given. In the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties at any time during the remaining lives of
the agreements, Products Corporation could lose some or all of any possible
future positive cash flows from these agreements. However, 


                                      20
<PAGE>

Products Corporation does not anticipate nonperformance by such counterparties,
although no assurances can be given.

      Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts from
time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. At
December 31, 1996, Products Corporation had forward foreign exchange contracts
denominated in various currencies, predominantly the U.K. pound, of
approximately $62.0 (U.S. dollar equivalent). If Products Corporation had
terminated these contracts on December 31, 1996, no material gain or loss would
have been realized.

      Based upon the Company's current level of operations and anticipated
growth in net sales and earnings as a result of its business strategy, the
Company expects that cash flows from operations and funds from currently
available subsidiary credit facilities and refinancings of existing subsidiary
indebtedness will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated
cash requirements of its subsidiaries for the foreseeable future, including
debt service of its subsidiaries. If the Company is unable to satisfy such cash
requirements from these sources, the Company could be required to adopt one or
more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures,
restructuring subsidiary indebtedness, selling assets or operations, seeking
capital contributions or loans from affiliates of the Company or selling
additional shares of capital stock of Revlon, Inc. The Company currently
anticipates that in order to pay the principal amount at maturity of the Senior
Secured Discount Notes, to redeem the Senior Secured Discount Notes or to
repurchase the Senior Secured Discount Notes upon a Change of Control (as
defined in the Indenture for the Senior Secured Discount Notes), the Company
will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as refinancing its
indebtedness, seeking capital contributions or loans from affiliates of the
Company or selling additional shares of capital stock of Revlon, Inc. There can
be no assurance that any of such actions could be effected on satisfactory
terms, that they would enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or
make any of the foregoing payments on the Senior Secured Discount Notes or that
any of such actions would be permitted by the terms of the debt instruments of
the Company and its subsidiaries then in effect. The Credit Agreement requires,
subject to certain exceptions, that the proceeds of any public offering of
capital stock of Revlon, Inc. be contributed to Products Corporation, except to
the extent such proceeds are applied to repay or refinance the Senior Secured
Discount Notes. Revlon Worldwide, as a holding company, will be dependent on
the earnings and cash flow, and dividends and distributions, from Products
Corporation and Revlon, Inc. to pay its expenses and to pay any cash dividends
or distributions on its common stock that may be authorized by the Board of
Directors of Revlon Worldwide. The terms of the Credit Agreement, the Senior
Subordinated Notes, the 1999 Senior Notes and the Senior Notes generally
restrict Products Corporation from paying dividends or making distributions.
The terms of the Senior Secured Discount Notes restrict Revlon Worldwide from
paying dividends or making distributions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
well as other public documents of the Company contains forward-looking
statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results
may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements.
Such statements include, without limitation, the Company's expectation and
estimates as to future financial performance, including growth in net sales and
earnings, cash flows from operations, capital expenditures and the ability to
refinance indebtedness, secure capital contributions or loans from affiliates
and sell additional shares of capital stock of Revlon, Inc. Readers are urged
to consider statements which use the terms "believes," "no reason to believe,"
"expects," "plans," "intends," "estimates," "anticipated" or "anticipates" to
be uncertain and forward-looking. In addition to factors that may be described
in the Company's Commission filings, including this filing, the following
factors, among others, could cause the Company's actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the
Company: (i) difficulties or delays in developing and introducing new products
or failure of customers to accept new product offerings; (ii) changes in
consumer preferences, including reduced consumer demand for the Company's color
cosmetics and other current products; (iii) difficulties or delays in the
Company's continued expansion into the self-select distribution channel and
development of new markets; (iv) unanticipated costs or difficulties or delays
in completing projects associated with the Company's strategy to improve
operating efficiencies, including information system upgrades; (v) effects of
and changes in economic conditions, including inflation and monetary
conditions, and in trade, monetary, fiscal and tax policies in countries
outside of the U.S. in which the Company operates, including Brazil; (vi)
actions by competitors, including business combinations, technological
breakthroughs, new product offerings and marketing and promotional successes;
(vii) combinations among significant customers or the loss, insolvency or
failure to pay its debts by a significant customer or customers; and (viii) the
inability to refinance indebtedness, secure capital contributions or loans from
affiliates or sell additional shares of capital stock of Revlon, Inc.

INFLATION

      In general, costs are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation
may be experienced by the Company in future periods. Management believes,
however, that such effects have not been material to the Company during the
past three years in the United States or foreign non-hyperinflationary
countries. The Company operates in certain countries around the world, such as
Brazil, that have experienced hyperinflation in the past three years. This
hyperinflation has had a material effect on the Company's results of operations
in Brazil and may, in the future, have a material effect on results of
operations in Mexico. In hyperinflationary foreign countries, the Company
attempts to mitigate the effects of inflation by increasing prices in line with
inflation, where possible, and efficiently managing its working capital levels.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF REVLON, INC. AND PRODUCTS CORPORATION

      Revlon Worldwide engages in its business through Revlon Inc., Products

----                      --------

George Fellows            President, Chief Executive Officer and

Carlos Colomer            Executive Vice President

Ronald H. Dunbar          Senior Vice President, Human Resources

M. Katherine Dwyer        Senior Vice President

      Mr. Fellows (54) has been President and Chief Executive Officer of
Revlon, Inc. and of Products Corporation since January 1997. He was President
and Chief Operating Officer of Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation from
November 1995 until January 1997, and has been a Director of Revlon, Inc. since

</TABLE>

      (a) Prior to the consummation of the Offering, the Board of Directors of
Revlon, Inc. made initial grants under the Stock Plan of non-qualified options
having a term of 10 years to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at an
exercise price equal to the initial public offering price. The grants to
Messrs. Levin, Fellows, Fox and Colomer and Ms. Dwyer will not vest as to any
portion until the third anniversary of the grant date and will thereupon become
100% vested, except that upon termination of employment by the Company other
than for "cause", death or "disability" under the applicable employment
agreement, such options will vest with respect to 50% of the shares subject
thereto (if the termination is between the second and third anniversaries of
the grant).

      (b) Present values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The model as applied used the grant date of February 29, 1996 and the
exercise price per share specified in the table above was equal to the fair
market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The model also
assumes (i) risk-free rate of return of 5.99% which was the rate as of the
grant date for the U.S. Treasury Zero Coupon Bond issues with a remaining term
similar to the expected term of the option, (ii) stock price volatility of .31
based upon the peer group 


                                      28
<PAGE>


average, (iii) a constant dividend rate of zero percent and (iv) that the
options normally would be exercised on the final day of the seventh year after
grant. No discount from the theoretical value was taken to reflect the waiting
period, if any, prior to vesting of the stock options, the restrictions on the
transfer of the stock options and the likelihood that the stock options will be
exercised in advance of the final day of their term.

      (c) Mr. Fellows was elected Chief Executive  Officer of Revlon,  Inc. in
January 1997.

    (a) Amounts shown represent the market value of the underlying shares of
Class A Common Stock at year-end calculated using the December 31, 1996 New
York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") closing price per share of Class A Common
Stock of $29.875 minus the exercise price of the stock option. The actual
value, if any, an executive may realize is dependent upon the amount by which
the market price of shares of Common Stock exceeds the exercise price per share
when the stock options are exercised. The actual value realized may be greater
or less than the value shown in the table.

       (b) Mr. Fellows was elected Chief Executive Officer of Revlon,  Inc. in
January 1997.

Colomer and Ms. Dwyer be granted options to purchase 170,000, 120,000, 50,000,
37,000, and 45,000 (in first year and 30,000 thereafter) shares of Class A
Common Stock, respectively, each year during the term of the relevant Executive
Employment Agreement. The agreements provide that in the event of termination
of the term of the relevant Executive Employment Agreement by Products
Corporation otherwise than for "good reason" as defined in the Executive
Severance Policy or failure of the Compensation Committee to adopt and
implement the recommendations of management with respect to stock option
grants, the executive would be entitled to severance pursuant to the Executive
Severance Policy as in effect on January 1, 1996 (see -"Executive Severance
Policy"). In addition, the employment agreement with Mr. Fellows provides that
if he remains continuously employed with Products Corporation or its affiliates
until age 60, then upon any subsequent retirement he will be entitled to a
supplemental pension benefit in a sufficient amount so that his annual pension
benefit from all qualified and non-qualified pension plans of Products
Corporation and its affiliates (expressed as a straight life annuity) equals
$500,000. Upon any earlier retirement with Products Corporation's consent or
any earlier termination of employment by Products Corporation otherwise than
for "good reason" (as defined in the Executive Severance Policy), Mr. Fellows
will be entitled to a reduced annual payment in an amount equal to the product
of multiplying $28,540 by the number of anniversaries, as of the date of
retirement or termination, of Mr. Fellows' fifty-third birthday (but in no
event more than would have been payable to Mr. Fellows under the foregoing
provision had he retired at age 60). In each case, Products Corporation
reserves the right to treat Mr. Fellows as having deferred payment of pension
for purposes of computing such supplemental payments.

      As of December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, Mr. Colomer had a loan
outstanding from Products Corporation's subsidiary in Spain in the amount of
25.0 million Spanish pesetas (approximately $205,000 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of December 31, 1996) dating from 1991 pursuant to a management retention
program grandfathered under a 1992 change in the Spanish tax law which
currently covers certain executives of such subsidiary, including Mr. Colomer.
Pursuant to this management retention program, outstanding loans do not bear
interest but an amount equal to the one-year government bond interest rate in
effect at the beginning of the year is deducted from the executives' annual
compensation, and loans must be repaid in full upon termination of employment.
The amount deducted from Mr. Colomer's compensation was 2.15 million Spanish
pesetas (approximately $16,988 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1996)
for 1996; 2.25 million Spanish pesetas (approximately $18,097 U.S. dollar
equivalent as of December 31, 1995) for 1995 and 2.25 million Spanish pesetas
(approximately $17,094 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1994) for
1994.

 EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY

      Products Corporation's Executive Severance Policy, as amended effective
January 1, 1996, provides that upon termination of employment of eligible
executive employees, including the Named Executive Officers, other than
voluntary resignation, retirement or termination by Products Corporation for
good reason, in consideration for the execution of a release and
confidentiality agreement and Products Corporation's standard Employee
Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition (the "Non-Competition
Agreement"), the eligible executive will be entitled to receive, in lieu of
severance under any employment agreement then in effect or under Products
Corporation's basic severance plan, a number of months of severance pay in
semi-monthly installments based upon such executive's grade level and years of
service reduced by the amount of any compensation from subsequent employment,
unemployment compensation or statutory termination payments received by such
executive during the severance period, and, in certain circumstances, by the
actuarial value of enhanced pension benefits received by the executive as well
as continued participation in medical and certain other benefit plans for the
severance period (or in lieu thereof, upon commencement of subsequent
employment, a lump sum payment equal to the then present value of 50% of the
amount of base salary then remaining payable through the balance of the
severance period, not to exceed six months' base salary). Pursuant to the
Executive Severance Policy, upon meeting the conditions set forth therein,
Messrs. Levin, Fellows, Colomer and Fox and Ms. Dwyer would be entitled to
severance pay equal to two years of base salary at the rate in effect on the
date of employment termination plus continued participation in the medical and
dental plans for two years on the same terms as active employees.

</TABLE>

      (a) The normal form of benefit for the Retirement Plan and the Pension
Equalization Plan is a life annuity.

      The Retirement Plan is intended to be a tax qualified defined benefit
plan. Retirement Plan benefits are a function of service and final average
compensation. The Retirement Plan is designed to provide an employee having 30
years of credited service with an annuity generally equal to 52% of final
average compensation, less 50% of estimated individual Social Security
benefits. Final average compensation is defined as average annual base salary
and bonus (but not any part of bonuses in excess of 50% of base salary) during
the five consecutive calendar years in which base salary and bonus (but not any
part of bonuses in excess of 50% of base salary) were highest out of the last
10 years prior to retirement or earlier termination. Except as otherwise
indicated, credited service only includes all periods of employment with the
Company or a subsidiary prior to retirement. The base salaries and bonuses of
each of the Named 


                                      31
<PAGE>


Executive Officers are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under
columns entitled "Salary" and "Bonus," respectively.

      The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, places
certain maximum limitations upon the annual benefit payable under all qualified
plans of an employer to any one individual. In addition, the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 limits the annual amount of compensation that can be
considered in determining the level of benefits under qualified plans. The
Pension Equalization Plan, as amended effective January 1, 1996, is a
non-qualified benefit arrangement designed to provide for the payment by the
Company of the difference, if any, between the amount of such maximum
limitations and the annual benefit that would be payable under the Retirement
Plan but for such limitations, up to a combined maximum annual straight life
annuity benefit at age 65 under the Retirement Plan and the Pension
Equalization Plan of $500,000. Benefits provided under the Pension Equalization
Plan are conditioned on the participant's compliance with his or her
Non-Competition Agreement and, in any case, on the participant not competing
with Products Corporation for one year after termination of employment.

      The number of years of credited service under the Retirement Plan and the
Pension Equalization Plan as of January 1, 1997 for Mr. Levin is seven years
(which includes credit for service with MacAndrews Holdings), for Mr. Fellows
is eight years (which includes credit for prior service with Holdings), for Mr.
Fox is 13 years (which includes credit for service with MacAndrews Holdings)
and for Ms. Dwyer is 3 years. Mr. Colomer does not participate in the
Retirement Plan or the Pension Equalization Plan. Mr. Colomer participates in
the Revlon Foreign Service Employees Pension Plan (the "Foreign Pension Plan").
The Foreign Pension Plan is a non-qualified defined benefit plan. The plan is
designed to provide an employee with 2% of final average salary for each year
of credited service, up to a maximum of 30 years, reduced by the sum of all
other benefits provided by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries and
social security or other government provided retirement benefits. Credited
service includes all periods of employment with Products Corporation or a
subsidiary prior to retirement. Final average salary is defined as average
annual base salary during the five consecutive calendar years in which base
salary was highest out of the last 10 years prior to retirement. The normal
form of payment under the Foreign Pension Plan is a life annuity. Mr. Colomer's
credited service as of January 1, 1997 under the Foreign Pension Plan is 17
years (which includes credit for service with Holdings).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      For 1996, Revlon Worldwide's executive officers were compensated by
Products Corporation for services rendered to Revlon Worldwide and its
subsidiaries, participated in benefit plans sponsored by Products Corporation
(and the Stock Plan sponsored by Revlon, Inc.) and did not receive compensation
from Revlon Worldwide. The Compensation Committee of Revlon, Inc. (made up of
Messrs. Gittis and Drapkin effective February 22, 1996 and Mr. Semel effective
June 6, 1996) determined the compensation of executive officers of Products
Corporation.

      During 1996, Products Corporation has used an airplane which was owned by
a corporation of which Messrs. Gittis, Drapkin and Levin were the sole
stockholders. As of December 31, 1996, Mr. Levin no longer holds an ownership
interest in the corporation that owns the airplane. See "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions - Other."

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

      Ronald O. Perelman, 35 East 62nd Street, New York, New York 10021,
through MacAndrews & Forbes, beneficially owns all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Revlon Worldwide. No other director, executive officer or other 
person beneficially owns any shares of common stock of Revlon Worldwide. 
MacAndrews & Forbes through Mafco Holdings Inc. (which through Revlon 
Worldwide) beneficially owns 11,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of 
Revlon, Inc. (which represents 56.6% of the outstanding shares of Class A 
Common Stock) and all of the outstanding 31,250,000 shares of Class B Common 
Stock of Revlon, Inc., which together represents 83.1% of the outstanding 
shares of Revlon, Inc. common stock and has approximately 97.4% of the 
combined voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock of Revlon, 
Inc. All of the shares of common stock of Revlon, Inc. owned by Revlon 
Worldwide are pledged by Revlon Worldwide to secure obligations under certain 
indebtedness. Shares of intermediate holding companies are or may from 
time to time be pledged to secure obligations of Mafco Holdings Inc. or 
its affiliates.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owns all of the shares of common stock
of Revlon Worldwide. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to elect the
entire Board of Directors of Revlon Worldwide and control the vote on all
matters submitted to a vote of Revlon Worldwide's stockholders, including
extraordinary transactions such as mergers or sales of all or substantially all
of Revlon Worldwide's assets. MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly owned by Ronald O.
Perelman, who is Chairman of the Board and a Director of Revlon Worldwide.
Messrs. Perelman, Levin, Fox and Nichols, each of whom is an executive officer
of Revlon Worldwide, Revlon, Inc. and of Products Corporation, have been, and
are expected to continue to be, officers of MacAndrews & Forbes and certain of
its affiliates.

TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

      In June 1992, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into an asset
transfer agreement with Holdings and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries
(the "Asset Transfer Agreement"), and Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation
entered into a real property asset transfer agreement with Holdings (the "Real
Property Transfer Agreement" and, together with the Asset Transfer Agreement,
the "Transfer Agreements"), and pursuant to such agreements on June 24, 1992,
Holdings transferred assets to Products Corporation and Products Corporation
assumed all the liabilities of Holdings, other than certain specifically
excluded assets and liabilities (the liabilities excluded are referred to as
the "Excluded Liabilities"). Holdings retained certain small brands that
historically had not been profitable ("Retained Brands"). Holdings agreed to
indemnify Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation against losses arising from the
Excluded Liabilities, and Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation agreed to
indemnify Holdings against losses arising from the liabilities assumed by
Products Corporation. The amounts reimbursed by Holdings to Products
Corporation for the Excluded Liabilities for 1996 was $1.4 million.

BENEFIT PLANS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

      Holdings, Products Corporation and Revlon, Inc. entered into a benefit
plans assumption agreement dated as of July 1, 1992 pursuant to which Products
Corporation assumed all rights, liabilities and obligations under all of
Holdings' benefit plans, arrangements and agreements, including obligations
under the Revlon Employees' Retirement Plan and the Revlon Employees' Savings
and Investment Plan. Products Corporation was substituted for Holdings as
sponsor of all such plans theretofore sponsored by Holdings.

OPERATING SERVICES AGREEMENT

      In June 1992, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and Holdings entered
into an operating services agreement (as amended and restated, and as
subsequently amended, the "Operating Services Agreement") pursuant to which
Products Corporation manufactures, markets, distributes, warehouses and
administers, including the collection of accounts receivable, the Retained
Brands for Holdings. Pursuant to the Operating Services Agreement, Products
Corporation is reimbursed an amount equal to all of its and Revlon, Inc.'s
direct and indirect costs incurred in connection with furnishing such services,
net of the amounts collected by Products Corporation with respect to the
Retained Brands, payable quarterly. The net amount reimbursed by Holdings to
Revlon, Inc. for such direct and indirect costs for 1996 was $5.1 million.
Holdings also pays Products Corporation a fee equal to 5% of the net sales of
the Retained Brands, payable quarterly. The fees paid by Holdings to Products
Corporation pursuant to the Operating Services Agreement for services with
respect to the Retained Brands for 1996 was approximately $.6 million.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS

      Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews Holdings have entered
into reimbursement agreements (the "Reimbursement Agreements") pursuant to
which (i) MacAndrews Holdings is obligated to provide certain professional and
administrative services, including employees, to Revlon, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, and purchase services from third
party providers, such as insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf
of Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, to the
extent requested by Products Corporation, and (ii) Products Corporation is
obligated to provide certain professional and administrative services,
including employees, to MacAndrews Holdings and purchase services from third
party providers, such as insurance and 


                                      33
<PAGE>


legal and accounting services, on behalf of MacAndrews Holdings to the extent
requested by MacAndrews Holdings, provided that in each case the performance of
such services does not cause an unreasonable burden to MacAndrews Holdings or
Products Corporation, as the case may be. Products Corporation reimburses
MacAndrews Holdings for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or
provided to Products Corporation and for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews Holdings
reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable costs of the services
purchased for or provided to MacAndrews Holdings and for the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or provision of
such services. In addition, in connection with certain insurance coverage
provided by MacAndrews Holdings, Products Corporation obtained letters of
credit under the standby letter of credit facility (which aggregated
approximately $26.4 million as of December 31, 1996) to support certain
self-funded risks of MacAndrews Holdings and its affiliates, including Revlon,
Inc., associated with such insurance coverage. The costs of such letters of
credit are allocated among, and paid by, the affiliates of MacAndrews Holdings,
including Revlon, Inc., which participate in the insurance coverage to which
the letters of credit relate. Revlon Worldwide expects that these self-funded
risks will be paid in the ordinary course and, therefore, it is unlikely that
such letters of credit will be drawn upon. MacAndrews Holdings has agreed to
indemnify Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation to the extent amounts are drawn
under any of such letters of credit with respect to claims for which Products
Corporation is not responsible. The net amount reimbursed by MacAndrews
Holdings to Products Corporation for the services provided under the
Reimbursement Agreements for 1996 was $2.2 million. Each of Revlon, Inc. and
Products Corporation, on the one hand, and MacAndrews Holdings, on the other,
has agreed to indemnify the other party for losses arising out of the provision
of services by it under the Reimbursement Agreements other than losses
resulting from its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Reimbursement
Agreements may be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice. Revlon
Worldwide does not expect Revlon, Inc. to request services under the
Reimbursement Agreements unless their costs would be at least as favorable to
Revlon, Inc. as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

      In March 1993, Revlon Worldwide and MacAndrews Holdings entered into a
reimbursement agreement pursuant to which MacAndrews Holdings agreed to provide
third party services to Revlon Worldwide on the same basis as it provides
services to Revlon, Inc., and Revlon Worldwide agreed to indemnify MacAndrews
Holdings on the same basis as Revlon, Inc. is obligated to indemnify MacAndrews
Holdings under the Reimbursement Agreements. There were no services provided
pursuant to this agreement during 1996.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS

      Revlon Worldwide, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation are for federal
income tax purposes included in the affiliated group of which Mafco Holdings is
the common parent, and Revlon Worldwide's, Revlon, Inc.'s and Products
Corporation's federal taxable income and loss is included in such group's
consolidated tax return filed by Mafco Holdings. Revlon Worldwide, Revlon, Inc.
and Products Corporation also may be included in certain state and local tax
returns of Mafco Holdings or its subsidiaries. In June 1992, Holdings, Products
Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, Revlon, Inc. and Mafco Holdings
entered into a tax sharing agreement (as subsequently amended, the "1992 Tax
Sharing Agreement"), pursuant to which Mafco Holdings has agreed to indemnify
Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation against federal, state or local income
tax liabilities of the consolidated or combined group of which Mafco Holdings
(or a subsidiary of Mafco Holdings other than Revlon, Inc. or Products
Corporation or its subsidiaries) is the common parent for taxable periods
beginning on or after January 1, 1992 during which Revlon, Inc., Products
Corporation or a subsidiary of Products Corporation is a member of such group.
Pursuant to the 1992 Tax Sharing Agreement, for all taxable periods beginning
on or after January 1, 1992, Revlon, Inc. will pay to Holdings amounts equal to
the taxes that Revlon, Inc. would otherwise have to pay if it were to file
separate federal, state or local income tax returns (including any amounts
determined to be due as a result of a redetermination arising from an audit or
otherwise of the consolidated or combined tax liability relating to any such
period which is attributable to Revlon, Inc.), except that Revlon, Inc. will
not be entitled to carry back any losses to taxable periods ending prior to
January 1, 1992. No payments are required by Revlon, Inc. if and to the extent
Products Corporation is prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making cash
tax sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. The Credit Agreement prohibits Products
Corporation from making such cash tax sharing payments other than in respect of
state and local income taxes.

      In March 1993, Revlon Worldwide and Mafco Holdings entered into a tax
sharing agreement (the "1993 Tax Sharing Agreement" and, together with the 1992
Tax Sharing Agreement, the "Tax Sharing Agreements") pursuant to which, for all
taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1993, Revlon Worldwide will
pay to Mafco Holdings 


                                      34
<PAGE>


amounts equal to the taxes that Revlon Worldwide would otherwise have to pay if
it were to file separate federal, state and local income tax returns for
itself, excluding Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including any amounts
determined to be due as a result of a redetermination arising from an audit or
otherwise of the tax liability relating to any such period which is
attributable to Revlon Worldwide).

      Since the payments to be made by Revlon, Inc. under the 1992 Tax Sharing
Agreement and by Revlon Worldwide under the 1993 Tax Sharing Agreement will be
determined by the amount of taxes that Revlon, Inc. or Revlon Worldwide, as the
case may be, would otherwise have to pay if it were to file separate federal,
state or local income tax returns, the Tax Sharing Agreements will benefit
Mafco Holdings to the extent Mafco Holdings can offset the taxable income
generated by Revlon, Inc. or Revlon Worldwide against losses and tax credits
generated by Mafco Holdings and its other subsidiaries. There were no cash tax
payments made by Revlon, Inc. or Revlon Worldwide pursuant to the Tax Sharing
Agreements for 1996.

FINANCING REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

      Holdings and Products Corporation entered into a financing reimbursement
agreement (the "Financing Reimbursement Agreement") in 1992 pursuant to which
Holdings agreed to reimburse Products Corporation for Holdings' allocable
portion of (i) the debt issuance cost and advisory fees related to the capital
restructuring of Holdings and (ii) interest expense attributable to the higher
cost of funds paid by Products Corporation under the credit agreement in effect
at that time as a result of additional borrowings for the benefit of Holdings
in connection with the assumption of certain liabilities by Products
Corporation under the Asset Transfer Agreement and the repurchase of Old Senior
Subordinated Notes from affiliates. In February 1995, the Financing
Reimbursement Agreement was amended and extended to provide that Holdings would
reimburse Products Corporation for a portion of the debt issuance costs and
advisory fees related to the Former Credit Agreement and 1 1/2 % per annum of
the average balance outstanding under the Former Credit Agreement and the
average balance outstanding under working capital borrowings from affiliates
through June 30, 1996 and such amounts were evidenced by a noninterest-bearing
promissory note payable on June 30, 1996. In June 1996, $10.9 million in notes
due to Products Corporation, which included $2.0 million of interest
reimbursement in 1996, under the Financing Reimbursement Agreement from
Holdings was offset against a $11.7 million demand note payable by Products
Corporation to Holdings. The Financing Reimbursement Agreement expired on June
30, 1996.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

      Prior to the consummation of the Offering, Revlon, Inc. and Revlon
Worldwide entered into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which
Revlon Worldwide and certain transferees of Common Stock held by Revlon
Worldwide (the "Holders") have the right to require Revlon, Inc. to register
all or part of the Class A Common Stock owned by such Holders and the Class A
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock owned by such
Holders under the Securities Act (a "Demand Registration"); provided that
Revlon, Inc. may postpone giving effect to a Demand Registration up to a period
of 30 days if Revlon, Inc. believes such registration might have a material
adverse effect on any plan or proposal by Revlon, Inc. with respect to any
financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material
transaction, or Revlon, Inc. is in possession of material non-public
information that, if publicly disclosed, could result in a material disruption
of a major corporate development or transaction then pending or in progress or
in other material adverse consequences to Revlon, Inc. In addition, the Holders
have the right to participate in registrations by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A
Common Stock (a "Piggyback Registration"). The Holders will pay all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration.
Revlon, Inc. will pay any expenses incurred in connection with a Piggyback
Registration, except for underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses
attributable to the shares of Class A Common Stock sold by such Holders.

OTHER

      Pursuant to a lease dated April 2, 1993 (the "Edison Lease"), Holdings
leases to Products Corporation the Edison research and development facility for
a term of up to 10 years with an annual rent of $1.4 million and certain shared
operating expenses payable by Products Corporation which, together with the
annual rent are not to exceed $2.0 million per year. Pursuant to an assumption
agreement dated February 18, 1993, Holdings agreed to assume all costs and
expenses of the ownership and operation of the Edison facility as of January 1,
1993, other than (i) the operating 


                                      35
<PAGE>


expenses for which Products Corporation is responsible under the Edison Lease
and (ii) environmental claims and compliance costs relating to matters which
occurred prior to January 1, 1993 up to an amount not to exceed $8.0 million
(the amount of such claims and costs for which Products Corporation is
responsible, the "Environmental Limit"). In addition, pursuant to such
assumption agreement, Products Corporation agreed to indemnify Holdings for
environmental claims and compliance costs relating to matters which occurred
prior to January 1, 1993 up to an amount not to exceed the Environmental Limit
and Holdings agreed to indemnify Products Corporation for environmental claims
and compliance costs relating to matters which occurred prior to January 1,
1993 in excess of the Environmental Limit and all such claims and costs
relating to matters occurring on or after January 1, 1993. Pursuant to an
occupancy agreement, during 1996 Products Corporation rented a portion of the
administration building located at the Edison facility and space for a retail
store of Products Corporation. Products Corporation provides certain
administrative services, including accounting, for Holdings with respect to the
Edison facility pursuant to which Products Corporation pays on behalf of
Holdings costs associated with the Edison facility and is reimbursed by
Holdings for such costs, less the amount owed by Products Corporation to
Holdings pursuant to the Edison Lease and the occupancy agreement. The net
amount reimbursed by Holdings to Products Corporation for such costs with
respect to the Edison facility for 1996 was $1.1 million.

      Effective January 1, 1996, Products Corporation acquired from Holdings
substantially all of the assets of Tarlow in consideration for the assumption
of substantially all of the liabilities and obligations of Tarlow. Net
liabilities assumed were approximately $3.4 million. Products Corporation paid
$4.1 million to Holdings which was accounted for as an increase in capital
deficiency. A nationally recognized investment banking firm rendered its
written opinion that the terms of the purchase are fair from a financial
standpoint to Products Corporation.

      During 1996, Products Corporation leased certain facilities to MacAndrews
& Forbes or its affiliates pursuant to occupancy agreements and leases
including space at Products Corporation's New York headquarters and at Products
Corporation's offices in London and Tokyo. The rent paid by MacAndrews & Forbes
or its affiliates to Products Corporation for 1996 was $4.6 million.

      The Credit Agreement is supported by, among other things, guarantees from
Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries. The obligations under such guarantees
are secured by, among other things, (i) the capital stock and certain assets of
certain subsidiaries of Holdings and (ii) a mortgage on Holdings' Edison, New
Jersey facility.

      Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to time
to supplement its working capital borrowings. No such borrowings were
outstanding as of December 31, 1996. The interest rates for such borrowings are
more favorable to Products Corporation than interest rates under the Credit
Agreement and, for borrowings occurring prior to the execution of the Credit
Agreement, the credit facility in effect at the time of such borrowing. The
amount of interest paid by Products Corporation for such borrowings for 1996
was $0.5 million.

      In November 1993, Products Corporation assigned to Holdings a lease for
warehouse space in New Jersey (the "N.J. Warehouse") between Products
Corporation and a trust established for the benefit of certain family members
of the Chairman of the Executive Committee. The N.J. Warehouse had become
vacant as a result of divestitures and restructuring of Products Corporation.
The lease has annual lease payments of approximately $2.3 million and
terminates on June 30, 2005. In consideration for Holdings assuming all
liabilities and obligations under the lease, Products Corporation paid Holdings
$7.5 million (for which a liability was previously recorded) in three
installments of $2.5 million each in January 1994, January 1995 and January
1996. A nationally recognized investment banking firm rendered its written
opinion that the terms of the lease transfer were fair from a financial
standpoint to Products Corporation. During 1996, Products Corporation paid $0.2
million associated with the N.J. Warehouse on behalf of Holdings and was
reimbursed by Holdings for such amount.

      During 1996, Products Corporation used an airplane which was owned by a
corporation of which Messrs. Gittis, Drapkin and Levin were the sole
stockholders. In 1996, Products Corporation paid approximately $0.2 million for
the usage of the airplane. As of December 31, 1996, Mr. Levin no longer holds
an ownership interest in the corporation that owned the airplane.

      Consolidated  Cigar,  an  affiliate of Products  Corporation,  assembles
lipstick   cases  for  Products   Corporation.   Products   Corporation   paid
approximately $1.0 million for such services in 1996.

      In the fourth quarter of 1996, Products Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries purchased an inactive subsidiary from an affiliate for net cash
consideration of approximately $3.0 million in a series of transactions in
which Products Corporation expects to realize certain tax benefits in future
years.

      Revlon Worldwide believes that the terms of the foregoing transactions
are at least as favorable to Revlon, Inc. or Products Corporation, as
applicable, as those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Revlon Worldwide Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revlon
Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and
stockholders' deficiency for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements we have also audited the financial statement schedule as listed on
the index on page F-1. These consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Revlon Worldwide
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994 the
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits."

                 REVLON WORLDWIDE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

      Revlon Worldwide Corporation ("Revlon Worldwide" and together with its
subsidiaries, the "Company") is a holding company, formed in March 1993, that
conducts its business exclusively through its indirect subsidiary, Revlon
Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation") and its subsidiaries.
The Company operates in a single business segment with many different products,
which include an extensive array of glamorous, exciting and innovative cosmetic
and skin care, fragrance and personal care products, and professional products
(products for use in and resale by professional salons). In the United States
and increasingly in international markets, the Company's products are sold
principally in the self-select distribution channel. The Company also sells
certain products in the demonstrator-assisted distribution channel, sells
consumer and professional products to United States military exchanges and
commissaries, operates retail outlet stores and has a licensing group. Outside
the United States, the Company also sells consumer products through department
stores and specialty stores, such as perfumeries.

      Products Corporation was formed in April 1992 and, on June 24, 1992,
succeeded to assets and liabilities of the cosmetic and skin care, fragrance
and personal care products business of its then parent company whose name was
changed from Revlon, Inc. to Revlon Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Certain
consumer products lines sold in demonstrator-assisted distribution channels
considered not integral to the Company's business and which historically had
not been profitable (the "Retained Brands") and certain other assets and
liabilities are retained by Holdings. Through December 31, 1996, Revlon
Worldwide has had no business operations of its own and its only material asset
is its ownership of 83.1% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Revlon,
Inc. (which represents approximately 97.4% of the voting power of those
outstanding shares) which, in turn, owns all of the capital stock of Products
Corporation. As such for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 its
net income (loss) has consisted almost entirely of its equity in the net income
(loss) of Revlon, Inc. and accretion of interest expense and amortization of
debt issuance costs related to Revlon Worldwide's Senior Secured Discount Notes
due 1998 (the "Senior Secured Discount Notes"). For such years, Revlon
Worldwide has had no cash flows of its own other than capital contributions
from its parent in 1994 and 1996.

      The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company presented herein
relate to the business to which the Company succeeded and include the assets,
liabilities and results of operations of such business. Assets, liabilities,
revenues, other income, costs and expenses which were identifiable specifically
to the Company are included herein and those identifiable specifically to the
retained and divested businesses of Holdings have been excluded. Amounts which
were not identifiable specifically to either the Company or Holdings are
included herein to the extent applicable to the Company pursuant to a method of
allocation generally based on the respective proportion of the business of the
Company to the applicable total of the businesses of the Company and Holdings.
The operating results of the Retained Brands and divested businesses of
Holdings have not been reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements of
the Company. Management of the Company believes that the basis of allocation
and presentation is reasonable.

      Although the Retained Brands were not transferred to Products Corporation
when the cosmetic and skin care, fragrance and personal care products business
of Holdings was transferred to Products Corporation, Products Corporation's
bank lenders required that all assets and liabilities relating to such Retained
Brands existing on the date of transfer (June 24, 1992), other than the brand
names themselves and certain other intangible assets, be transferred to
Products Corporation. Any assets and liabilities that had not been disposed of
or satisfied by December 31 of the applicable year have been reflected in the
Company's consolidated financial position as of such dates. However, any new
assets or liabilities generated by such Retained Brands since the transfer date
and any income or loss associated with inventory that has been transferred to
Products Corporation relating to such Retained Brands have been and will be for
the account of Holdings. In addition, certain assets and liabilities relating
to divested businesses were transferred to Products Corporation on the transfer
date and any remaining balances as of December 31 of the applicable year have
been reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of such dates.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the amounts reflected in the Company's
Consolidated Balance Sheets aggregated a net liability of $23.6 and $31.2,

                                     F-7
<PAGE>

respectively, of which $5.2 and $6.8, respectively, are included in accrued
expenses and other and $18.4 and $24.4, respectively, are included in other
long-term liabilities, respectively.

      The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Revlon
Worldwide and its subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany
balances and transactions. Further, the Company has made a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of liabilities and the reporting of revenues and expenses to prepare
these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Revlon Worldwide is a partially direct and partially indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Holdings and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews Holdings"), a corporation 
wholly owned through Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings" and, together with 
MacAndrews Holdings, "MacAndrews & Forbes") by Ronald O. Perelman.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

      Cash equivalents (primarily investments in time deposits which have
original maturities of three months or less) are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value.

INVENTORIES:

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is
principally determined by the first-in, first-out method.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

      Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets as follows:
land improvements, 20 to 40 years; buildings and improvements, 5 to 50 years;
machinery and equipment, 3 to 17 years; and office furniture and fixtures, 2 to
12 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful
lives or the terms of the leases, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance
are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures for additions and
improvements are capitalized.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS RELATED TO BUSINESSES ACQUIRED:

      Intangible assets related to businesses acquired principally represent
goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The
Company evaluates, when circumstances warrant, the recoverability of its
intangible assets on the basis of undiscounted cash flow projections and
through the use of various other measures, which include, among other things, a
review of its image, market share and business plans. Accumulated amortization
aggregated $94.2 and $84.2 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

      The Company recognizes net sales upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales
comprise gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts and customer
allowances. Cost of sales is reduced for the estimated net realizable value of
expected returns.

INCOME TAXES:

      Income taxes are calculated using the liability method in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."

      The Company is included in the affiliated group of which Mafco Holdings
is the common parent, and the Company's federal taxable income and loss will be
included in such group's consolidated tax return filed by Mafco Holdings. The
Company also may be included in certain state and local tax returns of Mafco
Holdings or its subsidiaries. For all periods presented, federal, state and
local income taxes are provided as if the Company filed its

                                     F-8
<PAGE>

own income tax returns. On June 24, 1992, Holdings, Products Corporation and
certain of its subsidiaries, Revlon, Inc. and Mafco Holdings entered into a
tax sharing agreement and on March 17, 1993 Revlon Worldwide and Mafco
Holdings entered into a tax sharing agreement, each of which is described in
Note 9.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:

      Products Corporation sponsors pension and other retirement plans in
various forms covering substantially all employees who meet eligibility
requirements. For plans in the United States, the minimum amount required
pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, is
contributed annually. Various subsidiaries outside the United States have
retirement plans under which funds are deposited with trustees or reserves are
provided.

      Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS No. 112 requires the Company to
accrue for benefits such as severance, disability and health insurance provided
to former employees prior to their retirement, if estimable. The cumulative
effect of this change was an after-tax charge of $28.8 principally for
severance related to benefits previously recorded on an as and when paid basis.
Such benefits generally are vested and accumulate over employees' service
periods. Effective January 1, 1994, the Company accounts for such benefits on a
terminal basis in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies," as amended by SFAS No. 112, which requires companies to accrue
for postemployment benefits when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount of such liability can be reasonably estimated, which is
generally when an employee is terminated. The Company does not believe such
liabilities can be reasonably estimated prior to termination.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

      Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. The
amounts charged against earnings in 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $26.3, $22.3 and
$19.7, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:

      Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are generally translated
into United States dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance
sheet date. Income and expense items are generally translated at the weighted
average exchange rates prevailing during each period presented. Gains and
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results
of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of financial
statements of foreign subsidiaries and branches operating in non-highly
inflationary economies are recorded as a component of stockholders' deficiency.
Foreign subsidiaries and branches operating in highly inflationary economies
translate nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates and include
translation adjustments in the results of operations.

ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK:

      The Company recognizes gains and losses on issuances of subsidiary stock
in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

      SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but
does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee
compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for
stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation
cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market
price of Revlon, Inc.'s stock at the date of the grant over the amount an
employee must pay to acquire the stock. See Note 11.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

      Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company to reduce
interest rate and foreign exchange risks. The Company maintains a control
environment which includes policies and procedures for risk assessment

                                     F-9
<PAGE>

and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument
activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.

      The differentials to be received or paid under interest rate contracts
designated as hedges are recognized in income over the life of the contracts as
adjustments to interest expense. Gains and losses on terminations of interest
rate contracts designated as hedges are deferred and amortized into interest
expense over the remaining life of the original contracts. Unrealized gains and
losses on outstanding contracts designated as hedges are not recognized.

      Gains and losses on contracts to hedge identifiable foreign currency
commitments are deferred and accounted for as part of the related foreign
currency transaction. Gains and losses on all other forward exchange contracts
are included in income currently. Transaction gains and losses have not been
material.

</TABLE>

      (a) The credit agreement in effect at December 31, 1995 (the "Former
Credit Agreement"), which was subsequently amended, provided up to $500.0
comprised of three senior secured facilities: a $100.0 term loan facility, a
$225.0 revolving credit facility and a $175.0 multi-currency facility.
Products Corporation complied with each of the financial covenants contained
in the Former Credit Agreement, as of and for the defined measurement periods
ended December 31, 1995. The Former Credit Agreement was scheduled to expire
on June 30, 1997.

      In connection with repayments of indebtedness under the Former Credit
Agreement in 1996, the commitments thereunder were extinguished, representing
an early extinguishment of a portion of such facilities. Consequently, in
1996, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $6.6 representing the
then unamortized debt issuance costs, which have been reported in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations as an extraordinary item.

      Loans that were outstanding under the Former Credit Agreement's
revolving credit facility and term loan facility bore interest initially at a
rate equal to, at Products Corporation's option, either (A) the alternate base
rate, defined to mean the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the secondary
market rate for certificates of deposit plus 1% and (iii) the federal funds
rate plus 1/2%; in each case plus 2 1/2% or (B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 3
1/2%. The multi-currency

                                     F-11
<PAGE>

facility bore interest at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate, the local
lender rate or the alternate base rate, in each case plus 3 1/2%.

      In January 1996, Products Corporation entered into a credit agreement
(the "Credit Agreement"), which became effective upon consummation of Revlon,
Inc.'s initial public equity offering (the "Offering") on March 5, 1996. The
Credit Agreement includes, among other things, (i) an extension of the term of
the facilities from June 30, 1997 to December 31, 2000 (subject to earlier
termination in certain circumstances), (ii) a reduction of the interest rates,
(iii) an increase in the amount of the credit facilities from $500.0 to $600.0
(subject to reduction as described below) and (iv) the release of security
interests in assets of certain foreign subsidiaries of Products Corporation
which were then pledged.

      The Credit Agreement is comprised of four senior secured facilities: a
$130.0 term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"), a $220.0 multi-currency
facility (the "Multi-Currency Facility"), a $200.0 revolving acquisition
facility (the "Acquisition Facility") and a $50.0 standby letter of credit
facility (the "Special LC Facility" and together with the Term Loan Facility,
the Multi-Currency Facility and the Acquisition Facility, the "Credit
Facilities"). The Multi-Currency Facility is available (i) to Products
Corporation, in revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars (the
"Revolving Credit Loans"), (ii) to Products Corporation, in standby and
commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars (the "Operating
Letters of Credit") and (iii) to Products Corporation and certain of its
international subsidiaries designated from time to time in revolving credit
loans and bankers' acceptances denominated in U.S. dollars and other
currencies (the "Local Loans"). The Credit Facilities (other than loans in
foreign currencies) bear interest at a rate equal to, at Products
Corporation's option, either (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.5% (or 2.5%
for Local Loans); or (B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.5%. Loans in foreign
currencies bear interest at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate or, in the
case of Local Loans, the local lender rate, in each case plus 2.5%. The
applicable margin is reduced (or increased, but not above 2% for Alternate
Base Rate Loans not constituting Local Loans and 3% for other loans) in the
event Products Corporation attains (or fails to attain) certain leverage
ratios. Products Corporation pays the Lender a commitment fee of 1/2 of 1% of
the unused portion of the Credit Facilities. Products Corporation also paid
certain facility and other fees to the lenders and agents upon closing of the
Credit Agreement. Prior to its termination date, the commitments under the
Credit Facilities will be reduced by: (i) the net proceeds in excess of $10.0
each year received during such year from sales of assets by Holdings (or
certain of its subsidiaries), Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
(and $25.0 with respect to certain specified dispositions), subject to certain
limited exceptions, (ii) certain proceeds from the sales of collateral
security granted to the lenders, (iii) the net proceeds from the issuance by
Holdings, Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain
additional debt, (iv) 50% of the excess cash flow of Products Corporation and
its subsidiaries and (v) certain scheduled reductions in the case of the Term
Loan Facility, which commence on January 31, 1997 in the amount of $1.0
annually over the remaining life of the Credit Agreement, and the Acquisition
Facility, which will commence on December 31, 1997 in the amount of $20.0,
$50.0 in 1998, $60.0 in 1999 and $70.0 in 2000. In addition, the Credit
Agreement requires that the net proceeds from any sale of equity securities of
any parent of Products Corporation which has the assets of Products
Corporation or certain of its subsidiaries as its only substantial assets be
contributed to Products Corporation (except to the extent that such proceeds
are applied to repay or refinance the Senior Secured Discount Notes of the
Company or are deposited with the trustee under the Indenture covering such
notes) and that Products Corporation use 50% of such proceeds, in certain
circumstances, to reduce commitments under the Credit Agreement. The Credit
Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2000 (subject to earlier termination
on March 31, 1999 if Products Corporation has not refinanced its 9 1/2% Senior
Notes due 1999 (the "1999 Senior Notes") before March 31, 1999 or if an
alternative plan for the refinancing of the 1999 Senior Notes has not been
approved by the majority lenders prior to March 15, 1999). As of December 31,
1996, Products Corporation had approximately $130.0 outstanding under the Term
Loan Facility, $57.2 outstanding under the Multi-Currency Facility, none
outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and $33.5 outstanding under the
Special LC Facility.

         The Credit Facilities, subject to certain exceptions and limitations,
are supported by guarantees from Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries,
Revlon, Inc. and the domestic subsidiaries of Products Corporation. The
obligations of Products Corporation under the Credit Facilities and the
obligations under the aforementioned guarantees are secured, subject to
certain limitations, by (i) mortgages on Holdings' Edison, New Jersey and
Products Corporation's Phoenix, Arizona facilities; (ii) the capital stock of
Products Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital
stock of its first tier foreign subsidiaries and the capital stock of certain
subsidiaries of Holdings; (iii) domestic intellectual property and certain
other domestic intangibles of (x) Products Corporation

                                     F-12
<PAGE>

and its domestic subsidiaries and (y) certain subsidiaries of Holdings; (iv)
domestic inventory and accounts receivable of (x) Products Corporation and its
domestic subsidiaries and (y) certain subsidiaries of Holdings; and (v) the
assets of certain foreign subsidiary borrowers under the Multi-Currency
Facility (to support their borrowings only). The Credit Agreement provides
that the liens on the stock and personal property referred to above may be
shared from time to time with specified types of other obligations incurred or
guaranteed by Products Corporation that were not included in the Former Credit
Agreement, such as interest rate hedging obligations, working capital lines
and the Yen Credit Agreement (as defined below).


      The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants prohibiting
Products Corporation and its subsidiaries from, among other things, (i)
incurring additional indebtedness, with certain exceptions, (ii) making
dividend, tax sharing (see Note 9 "Income Taxes") and other payments or loans
to the Company or other affiliates, with certain exceptions, including among
others, permitting Products Corporation to pay dividends and make
distributions to Revlon, Inc., among other things, to enable Revlon, Inc. to
pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among
other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting, regulatory fees
such as Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") filing fees and
other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding company, and to
pay dividends or make distributions up to $5.0 per annum in certain
circumstances to finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its common stock in
connection with the delivery of such common stock to grantees under any stock
option plan, (iii) creating liens or other encumbrances on their assets or
revenues, granting negative pledges or selling or transferring any of their
assets except in the ordinary course of business, all subject to certain
limited exceptions, (iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or
acquisition transactions, (v) prepaying indebtedness, subject to certain
limited exceptions, (vi) making investments, subject to certain limited
exceptions and (vii) entering into transactions with affiliates of Products
Corporation other than upon terms no less favorable to Products Corporation or
its subsidiaries than it would obtain in an arms' length transaction. In
addition to the foregoing, the Credit Agreement contains certain financial
covenants including, among other things, covenants requiring Products
Corporation and its subsidiaries to maintain minimum consolidated adjusted net
worth, minimum EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization and certain other charges), minimum interest
coverage, and covenants which limit the amount of total indebtedness of
Products Corporation and the amount of capital expenditures.

      In January 1997, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things,
(i) permit the merger of Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc. ("PFC"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Products Corporation, into The Cosmetic Center, Inc.
("Cosmetic Center") and to generally exclude Cosmetic Center (as the survivor
of the merger) from the definition of "subsidiary" under the Credit Agreement,
(ii) increase the amount of permitted dividends and distributions to finance
the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its common stock in connection with the
delivery of such common stock to grantees under any stock option plan to $6.0
per annum, and (iii) permit Products Corporation to purchase capital stock of
Revlon, Inc. for purposes of making matching contributions under a proposed
Non-Qualified Excess Savings Plan for Key Executives.

      (b) The Pacific Finance & Development Corp., a subsidiary of Products
Corporation, is the borrower under a yen denominated credit agreement (the "Yen
Credit Agreement"), which had a principal balance of approximately YEN4.8
billion as of December 31, 1996 (approximately $41.7 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of December 31, 1996). In accordance with the terms of the Yen Credit
Agreement, approximately YEN2.7 billion (approximately $26.9 U.S. dollar
equivalent) was paid in January 1995 and approximately YEN539 million
(approximately $5.2 U.S. dollar equivalent) was paid in January 1996. A payment
of approximately YEN539 million (approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent
as of December 31, 1996) was paid in January 1997. The balance of the Yen
Credit Agreement of approximately YEN4.3 billion (approximately $37.1 U.S.
dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1996) is currently due on December 31,
1997. Products Corporation is currently renegotiating an extension of the term
of the Yen Credit Agreement. In the event that such extension is not obtained,
Products Corporation is able and intends to refinance the Yen Credit Agreement
under existing long-term credit facilities. Accordingly, the Company's
obligation under the Yen Credit Agreement has been classified as long-term as
of December 31, 1996. The applicable interest rate at December 31, 1996 under
the Yen Credit Agreement was the Euro-Yen rate plus 2.5% which approximated
3.1%. The interest rate at December 31, 1995, applicable to the remaining
balance, was the Euro-Yen rate plus 3.5%, which approximated 4.1%.

      (c) The 1999 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Products
Corporation and rank pari passu in right of payment to all existing and future
Senior Debt (as defined in the indenture relating to the 1999 Senior Notes

                                    F-13
<PAGE>

(the "1999 Senior Note Indenture")). The 1999 Senior Notes bear interest at 9
1/2% per annum. Interest is payable on June 1 and December 1.

      The 1999 Senior Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. Upon a
Change of Control (as defined in the 1999 Senior Note Indenture) and subject to
certain conditions, each holder of 1999 Senior Notes will have the right to
require Products Corporation to repurchase all or a portion of such holder's
1999 Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. In addition, under certain
circumstances in the event of an Asset Disposition (as defined in the 1999
Senior Note Indenture), Products Corporation will be obligated to make offers
to purchase the 1999 Senior Notes.

      The 1999 Senior Note Indenture contains various restrictive covenants
that, among other things, limit (i) the issuance of additional debt and
redeemable stock by Products Corporation, (ii) the issuance of debt and
preferred stock by Products Corporation's subsidiaries, (iii) the incurrence of
liens on the assets of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries which do not
equally and ratably secure the 1999 Senior Notes, (iv) the payment of dividends
on and redemption of capital stock of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries
and the redemption of certain subordinated obligations of Products Corporation,
except that the 1999 Senior Note Indenture permits Products Corporation to pay
dividends and make distributions to Revlon, Inc., among other things, to enable
Revlon, Inc. to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company,
including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting,
regulatory fees such as Commission filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses
related to being a public holding company, and to pay dividends or make
distributions up to $5.0 per annum in certain circumstances to finance the
purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the
delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under any stock option plan,
(v) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, (vi) transactions with affiliates
and (vii) consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of
Products Corporation's assets. The 1999 Senior Note Indenture also prohibits
certain restrictions on distributions from subsidiaries. All of these
limitations and prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of important
qualifications.

      (d) The 9 3/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes") are senior
unsecured obligations of Products Corporation and rank pari passu in right of
payment to all existing and future Senior Debt (as defined in the indenture
relating to the Senior Notes (the "Senior Note Indenture")). The Senior Notes
bear interest of 9 3/8% per annum. Interest is payable on April 1 and October
1.

      The Senior Notes may be redeemed at the option of Products Corporation in
whole or in part at any time on or after April 1, 1998 at the redemption prices
set forth therein, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
redemption. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Senior Note Indenture),
Products Corporation will have the option to redeem the Senior Notes in whole
or in part at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus the
Applicable Premium (as defined in the Senior Note Indenture), plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, and, subject to certain
conditions, each holder of Senior Notes will have the right to require Products
Corporation to repurchase all or a portion of such holder's Senior Notes at
101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to the date of repurchase. In addition, under certain circumstances in the
event of an Asset Disposition (as defined in the Senior Note Indenture),
Products Corporation will be obligated to make offers to purchase the Senior
Notes.

      The Senior Note Indenture contains various restrictive covenants that,
among other things, limit (i) the issuance of additional indebtedness and
redeemable stock by Products Corporation, (ii) the issuance of indebtedness and
preferred stock by Products Corporation's subsidiaries, (iii) the incurrence of
liens on the assets of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries which do not
equally and ratably secure the Senior Notes, (iv) the payment of dividends on
capital stock of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries and the redemption
of capital stock and certain subordinated obligations of Products Corporation,
except that the Senior Note Indenture permits Products Corporation to pay
dividends and make distributions to Revlon, Inc., among other things, to enable
Revlon, Inc. to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company,
including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting,
regulatory fees such as Commission filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses
related to being a public holding company, and to pay dividends or make
distributions up to $5.0 per annum in certain circumstances to finance the
purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the
delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under any stock option plan,
(v) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, (vi) transactions with affiliates
and (vii) consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of
Products Corporation's assets. The Senior

                                     F-14
<PAGE>

Note Indenture also prohibits certain restrictions on distributions from
subsidiaries of Products Corporation. All of these limitations and
prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of important qualifications.

      (e) The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured obligations of Products
Corporation and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
Senior Debt (as defined in the indenture relating to the Senior Subordinated
Notes (the "Senior Subordinated Note Indenture")). The Senior Subordinated
Notes bear interest of 10 1/2% per annum. Interest is payable on February 15
and August 15.

      The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at the option of Products
Corporation in whole or in part at any time on or after February 15, 1998 at
the redemption prices set forth therein, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the date of redemption. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture), Products Corporation will have the option
to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes in whole or in part at a redemption
price equal to the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium (as
defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of redemption, and, subject to certain
conditions, each holder of Senior Subordinated Notes will have the right to
require Products Corporation to repurchase all or a portion of such holder's
Senior Subordinated Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. In addition, under
certain circumstances in the event of an Asset Disposition (as defined in the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture), Products Corporation will be obligated to
make offers to purchase the Senior Subordinated Notes.

      The Senior Subordinated Note Indenture contains various restrictive
covenants that, among other things, limit (i) the issuance of additional
indebtedness and redeemable stock by Products Corporation, (ii) the issuance of
indebtedness and preferred stock by Products Corporation's subsidiaries, (iii)
the incurrence of liens on the assets of Products Corporation and its
subsidiaries to secure debt other than Senior Debt (as defined in the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture) or debt of a subsidiary, unless the Senior
Subordinated Notes are equally and ratably secured, (iv) the payment of
dividends on capital stock of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries and the
redemption of capital stock and certain subordinated obligations of Products
Corporation, except that the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture permits
Products Corporation to pay dividends and make distributions to Revlon, Inc.,
among other things, to enable Revlon, Inc. to pay expenses incidental to being
a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such
as legal and accounting, regulatory fees such as Commission filing fees and
other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding company, and to
pay dividends or make distributions up $5.0 per annum in certain circumstances
to finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in
connection with the delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under any
stock option plan, (v) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, (vi)
transactions with affiliates and (vii) consolidations, mergers and transfers of
all or substantially all of Products Corporation's assets. The Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture also prohibits certain restrictions on
distributions from subsidiaries of Products Corporation. All of these
limitations and prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of important
qualifications.

      (f) Holdings' 10 7/8% Sinking Fund Debentures due 2010 (face value of
$85.0, net of repurchases) (the "Sinking Fund Debentures") are redeemable, in
whole or in part, at 101.96% of the principal amount for the year beginning
July 15, 1996, decreasing evenly each year on July 15, to par by July 15, 2000.
Mandatory sinking fund redemptions of $9.0 per year commenced in 1991. Optional
sinking fund redemptions of up to an additional $13.5 per year may be made
annually and may be applied to reduce any subsequent mandatory sinking fund
redemption. Interest is payable on January 15 and July 15. Holdings purchased
$115.0 of the Sinking Fund Debentures in the open market prior to 1985, $9.0 of
which had been used in each of the years 1991 through 1996 to satisfy sinking
fund payment obligations and approximately $61.0 of which is creditable to
future sinking fund requirements. The indenture relating to the Sinking Fund
Debentures contains various restrictive covenants prohibiting Products
Corporation and its subsidiaries from (i) incurring indebtedness in excess of
5% of the consolidated net tangible assets, where such indebtedness is secured
by any manufacturing plant in the United States owned or leased by Products
Corporation, the book value of which exceeds 2% of the consolidated net
tangible assets of Products Corporation, unless the Sinking Fund Debentures are
equally and ratably secured, (ii) entering into certain sale and leaseback
transactions or (iii) consolidating or merging with or into, or selling or
transferring all or substantially all of their properties and assets to,
another corporation, unless certain conditions are satisfied.

      (g) During 1992, Holdings made an advance of $25.0 to Products
Corporation. This advance was evidenced by a noninterest-bearing demand note
payable by Products Corporation, the payment of which was subordinated to the
obligations of Products Corporation under the credit agreement in effect at
that time. Holdings agreed not to demand payment under the note so long as any
indebtedness remained outstanding under the credit agreement in effect at that
time. In February 1995, the $13.3 in notes due to Products Corporation under
the Financing Reimbursement Agreement, referred to in Note 12, was offset
against the $25.0 note and Holdings agreed not to demand payment under the
resulting $11.7 note so long as indebtedness remains outstanding under the
Credit Agreement. In October 1993, Products Corporation borrowed from Holdings
approximately $23.2 (as adjusted and subject to further adjustment for certain
expenses) representing amounts received by Holdings from an escrow account
relating to divestiture by Holdings of certain of its predecessor businesses.
In July 1995, Products Corporation borrowed from Holdings approximately $0.8,
representing certain amounts received by Holdings relating to an arbitration
arising out of the sale by Holdings of certain of its businesses. In 1995,
Products Corporation borrowed from Holdings approximately $5.6, representing
certain amounts received by Holdings from the sale by Holdings of certain of
its businesses. In June 1996, $10.9 in notes due to Products Corporation under
the Financing Reimbursement Agreement from Holdings was offset against the
$11.7 demand note (referred to above) payable by Products Corporation to
Holdings. In accordance with the Credit Agreement, such amounts, as adjusted,
are evidenced by noninterest-bearing promissory notes payable to Holdings that
are subordinated to Products Corporation's obligations under the Credit
Agreement.

      (h) The Senior Secured Discount Notes were issued by Revlon Worldwide on
March 25, 1993 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,115.8. The Senior 
Secured Discount Notes were issued at a substantial discount from their 
principal amount at maturity representing a yield to maturity of approximately
12% per annum calculated at March 25, 1993. There are no periodic interest 
payments on the Senior Secured Discount Notes.

      The Senior Secured Discount Notes are secured by a pledge of all of the
common stock of Revlon, Inc. owned by Revlon Worldwide, a portion of which may
be released upon the occurrence of certain events as specified in the indenture
relating to the Senior Secured Discount Notes (the "Senior Secured Discount
Notes Indenture"). The Senior Secured Discount Notes are senior debt of Revlon
Worldwide and rank pari passu in right of payment with any future senior debt
of Revlon Worldwide. Revlon Worldwide is a holding company and substantially
all of its liabilities (other than the Senior Secured Discount Notes) are
liabilities of subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Discount Notes are effectively
subordinated to all liabilities of Revlon Worldwide's subsidiaries, including
trade payables.

      The Senior Secured Discount Notes may be redeemed at the option of Revlon
Worldwide in whole or from time to time in part at any time at 100% of their
principal amount at maturity. The Senior Secured Discount Notes may be redeemed
in whole or in part upon the occurrence of other events specified in the Senior
Secured Discount Notes Indenture at the prices and under the conditions
specified therein, such as upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Senior
Secured Discount Notes Indenture).

      The Senior Secured Discount Notes Indenture contains covenants that,
among other things, limit (i) the issuance of other debt and redeemable stock
by Revlon Worldwide and Revlon, Inc. and the issuance of preferred stock by
Revlon, Inc., (ii) the issuance of debt and preferred stock by Products
Corporation and its subsidiaries, (iii) the payment of dividends on capital
stock of Revlon Worldwide and its subsidiaries and the redemption of capital
stock of Revlon Worldwide, (iv) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, (v)
transactions with affiliates, and (vi) consolidations, mergers and transfers of
all or substantially all Revlon Worldwide's assets. The Senior Secured Discount
Notes Indenture also prohibits certain restrictions on distributions from
subsidiaries. All of these limitations and prohibitions, however, are subject
to a number of important qualifications.

      Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to time
to supplement its working capital borrowings at interest rates more favorable
to Products Corporation than the rate under the Credit Agreement. No such
borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 1996 or 1995.

                                     F-16
<PAGE>

      The aggregate amounts of long-term debt maturities and sinking fund
requirements (at December 31, 1996), in the years 1997 through 2001 are $8.8,
$1,010.2, $201.2, $214.9 and $260.9, respectively, and $634.6 thereafter.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      As of December 31, 1996, Products Corporation was party to a series of
interest rate swap agreements (which expire at various dates through December
2001) totaling a notional amount of $225.0 in which Products Corporation agreed
to pay on such notional amount a variable interest rate equal to the six month
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (5.6875% per annum at January 24, 1997) to its
counterparties and the counterparties agreed to pay on such notional amounts
fixed interest rates averaging approximately 6.03% per annum. Products
Corporation entered into these agreements in 1993 and 1994 (and in the first
quarter of 1996 extended a portion equal to a notional amount of $125.0 through
December 2001) to convert the interest rate on $225.0 of fixed-rate
indebtedness to a variable rate. If Products Corporation had terminated these
agreements, which Products Corporation considers to be held for other than
trading purposes, on December 31, 1996, a loss of approximately $3.5 would have
been realized. Certain other swap agreements were terminated in 1993 for a gain
of $14.0. The amortization of the realized gain on these agreements for 1996
and 1995 was approximately $3.2 in each of the years. The remaining unamortized
gain, which is being amortized over the original lives of the agreements, is
$3.1 as of December 31, 1996. Although cash flow from the presently outstanding
agreements was positive for 1996, future positive or negative cash flows from
these agreements will depend upon the trend of short-term interest rates during
the remaining lives of such agreements. In the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties at any time during the remaining lives of the agreements,
Products Corporation could lose some or all of any possible future positive
cash flows from these agreements. However, Products Corporation does not
anticipate nonperformance by such counterparties, although no assurances can be
given.

      Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts from
time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. At
December 31, 1996, Products Corporation had forward foreign exchange contracts
denominated in various currencies, predominantly the U.K. pound of
approximately $62.0 (U.S. dollar equivalent). If Products Corporation had
terminated these contracts on December 31, 1996, no material gain or loss would
have been realized. Products Corporation had similar contracts outstanding at
December 31, 1995 in the amount of $8.0 (U.S. dollar equivalent).

      The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on the
quoted market prices for the same issues or on the current rates offered to the
Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of
long-term debt at December 31, 1996 was approximately $35.6 more than the
carrying value of $2,330.6. Because considerable judgment is required in
interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, the estimates are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be
paid in a current market exchange. The effect of using different market
assumptions or estimation methodologies may be material to the estimated fair
value amounts.

      Products Corporation also maintains standby and trade letters of credit
with certain banks for various corporate purposes under which Products
Corporation is obligated, of which approximately $40.9 were outstanding at
December 31, 1996. Included in this amount are $26.4 in standby letters of
credit which support Products Corporation's self-insurance programs. See Note
12. The estimated liability under such programs is accrued by Products
Corporation.

      The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables,
accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

9. INCOME TAXES

      In June 1992, Holdings, Products Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries, Revlon, Inc. and Mafco Holdings entered into a tax sharing
agreement (as subsequently amended, the "1992 Tax Sharing Agreement"), pursuant
to which Mafco Holdings has agreed to indemnify Revlon, Inc. against federal,
state or local income tax liabilities of the consolidated or combined group of
which Mafco Holdings (or a subsidiary of Mafco Holdings other than Revlon, Inc.
or its subsidiaries) is the common parent for taxable periods beginning on or
after January 1, 1992 during which 

                                     F-17
<PAGE>

Revlon, Inc. or a subsidiary of Revlon, Inc. is a member of such group.
Pursuant to the 1992 Tax Sharing Agreement, for all taxable periods beginning
on or after January 1, 1992, Revlon, Inc. will pay to Holdings amounts equal to
the taxes that Revlon, Inc. would otherwise have to pay if it were to file
separate federal, state or local income tax returns (including any amounts
determined to be due as a result of a redetermination arising from an audit or
otherwise of the consolidated or combined tax liability relating to any such
period which is attributable to Revlon, Inc.), except that Revlon, Inc. will
not be entitled to carry back any losses to taxable periods ending prior to
January 1, 1992. No payments are required by Revlon, Inc. if and to the extent
Products Corporation is prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making cash
tax sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. The Credit Agreement prohibits Products
Corporation from making such cash tax sharing payments other than in respect
of state and local income taxes.

      In March 1993, Revlon Worldwide and Mafco Holdings entered into a tax
sharing agreement (the "1993 Tax Sharing Agreement" and, together with the 1992
Tax Sharing Agreement, the "Tax Sharing Agreements") pursuant to which, for all
taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1993, Revlon Worldwide will
pay to Mafco Holdings amounts equal to the taxes that Revlon Worldwide would
otherwise have to pay if it were to file separate federal, state and local
income tax returns for itself, excluding Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(including any amounts determined to be due as a result of a redetermination
arising from an audit or otherwise of the tax liability relating to any such
period which is attributable to Revlon Worldwide).

      Since the payments to be made by Revlon, Inc. under the 1992 Tax Sharing
Agreement and by Revlon Worldwide under the 1993 Tax Sharing Agreement will be
determined by the amount of taxes that Revlon, Inc. or Revlon Worldwide, as the
case may be, would otherwise have to pay if they were to file separate federal,
state or local income tax returns, the Tax Sharing Agreements will benefit
Mafco Holdings to the extent Mafco Holdings can offset the taxable income
generated by Revlon, Inc. or Revlon Worldwide against losses and tax credits
generated by Mafco Holdings and its other subsidiaries. As a result of the net
operating tax losses and prohibitions under the Credit Agreement, no federal
tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to the 1992 Tax Sharing
Agreement were required for 1996, 1995 or 1994 and with respect to Revlon
Worldwide as a result of the absence of business operations or source of income
of its own, no federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to
the 1993 Tax Sharing Agreement were required for 1996, 1995 or 1994.

      Pursuant to the asset transfer agreement referred to in Note 12, Products
Corporation assumed all tax liabilities of Holdings other than (i) certain
income tax liabilities arising prior to January 1, 1992 to the extent such
liabilities exceeded reserves on Holdings' books as of January 1, 1992 or were
not of the nature reserved for and (ii) other tax liabilities to the extent
such liabilities are related to the business and assets retained by Holdings.

</TABLE>

      The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at January 1, 1996 was
$444.2. The valuation allowance increased by $29.0 during the year ended
December 31, 1996 and increased by $53.9 during the year ended December 31,
1995.

      During 1996, 1995 and 1994, certain of the Company's foreign operations
generated taxable income as to which the related tax liability was offset by
the utilization of operating loss carryforwards generated in prior years.
Accordingly, credits of $4.7, $15.4 and $18.1 representing the reduction of
current foreign taxes payable for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively, have been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Certain other foreign operations generated losses during the years
1996, 1995 and 1994 for which the potential tax benefit was reduced by a
valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that such benefit will not be
realized. At December 31, 1996, the Company had foreign tax loss carryforwards
of approximately $332.2 which expire in future years as follows: 1997-$53.3;
1998-$30.0; 1999-$33.0; 2000-$12.1; 2001 and beyond-$30.4; unlimited-$173.4.
The Company will receive a benefit only to the extent it has taxable income
during the carryforward periods in the applicable foreign jurisdictions.

      Appropriate United States and foreign income taxes have been accrued on
foreign earnings that have been or are expected to be remitted in the near
future. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries which have been, or are
currently intended to be, permanently reinvested in the future growth of the
business aggregated approximately $16.1 at December 31, 1996, excluding those
amounts which, if remitted in the near future, would not result in significant
additional taxes under tax statutes currently in effect.

      The weighted-average discount rate assumed was 7.75% for 1996 and 1995
for domestic plans. For foreign plans, the weighted-average discount rate was
7.9% and 7.6% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. The rate of future compensation
increases was 5.25% for 1996 and 1995 for domestic plans and was a
weighted-average of 5.05% and 4.81% for 1996 and 1995, respectively, for
foreign plans. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 9.0% for
1996 and 1995 for domestic plans and a weighted-average of 10.4% for 1996 and
1995 for foreign plans.

      Plan assets consist primarily of common stock, mutual funds and fixed
income securities, which are stated at fair market value and cash equivalents
which are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value.

      In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting
for Pensions," the Company recorded an additional liability to the extent that,
for certain U.S. plans, the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation exceeded
recorded liabilities. At December 31, 1996, the additional liability was
recognized by recording an intangible asset to the extent of unrecognized prior
service costs of $1.8, a due from affiliates of $1.1 and a charge to
stockholders' deficiency of $12.4. At December 31, 1995, the additional
liability was recognized by recording an intangible asset to the extent of
unrecognized prior service costs of $1.6, a due from affiliates of $1.3, and a
charge to stockholders' deficiency of $17.0.

      Net periodic pension cost for the pension plans consisted of the
following components:

</TABLE>

      A substantial portion of the Company's employees in the United States are
covered by defined benefit retirement plans. To the extent that aggregate
pension costs could be identified as relating to the Company or to Holdings,
such costs have been so apportioned. The components of the net periodic pension
cost applicable solely to the Company are not presented as it is not practical
to segregate such information between Holdings and the Company. In 1996 and
1995, there was a settlement loss of $0.3 and $0.1, respectively, and a
curtailment loss of $1.0 and $0.1, respectively, resulting from workforce
reductions.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS:

      During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company sponsored an unfunded retiree
benefit plan, which provides death benefits payable to beneficiaries of certain
key employees. Participation in this plan is limited to participants enrolled
as of December 31, 1993. Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for each of
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $0.7 which consists
primarily of interest on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. The
Company's date of measurement of Plan obligations is September 30. At December
31, 1996 and 1995, the portion of accumulated benefit obligation attributable
to retirees was $6.9 and $6.7, respectively, and to other fully eligible
participants, $1.3 and $1.0, respectively. The amount of unrecognized gain at
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $1.2 and $1.7, respectively. At December 31,
1996 and 1995, the accrued postretirement benefit obligation recorded on the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets was $9.4. Of these amounts, $2.0 and $2.2
was attributable to Holdings and was recorded as a receivable from affiliates
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The weighted average discount rate
used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at
September 30, 1996 and 1995 was 7.75%.

11. STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

      At December 31, 1996, Revlon,  Inc. has a stock-based  compensation plan
(the "Plan"),  which is described  below.  The Company applies APB Opinion No.
25 and related  Interpretations  in accounting for the Plan. Under APB Opinion
No. 25,  because the exercise price of Revlon,  Inc.'s  employee stock options
equals  the  market  price of the  underlying  stock on the date of grant,  no
compensation  cost has been  recognized.  Had  compensation  cost for  Revlon,
Inc.'s Plan been  determined  consistent  with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
income for 1996 of $94.6  would have

                                     F-22
<PAGE>

been reduced to the pro forma amount of $91.4. The effects of applying SFAS
No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not necessarily indicative of future
amounts.

      Under the Plan, Revlon, Inc. may grant options to its employees for up to
an aggregate of 5.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. Non-qualified
options granted under the Plan have a term of 10 years during which the holder
can purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price which must be
not less than the market price on the date of the grant . Options granted in
1996 to certain executive officers will not vest as to any portion until the
third anniversary of the grant date and will thereupon become 100% vested,
except that upon termination of employment by Revlon, Inc. other than for
"cause", death or "disability" under the applicable employment agreement, such
options will vest with respect to 25% of the shares subject thereto (if the
termination is between the first and second anniversaries of the grant) and 50%
of the shares subject thereto (if the termination is between the second and
third anniversaries of the grant). All other initial option grants will vest
25% each year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant and will
become 100% vested on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for option grants in 1996: no dividend yield; expected
volatility of 31%; risk-free interest rate of 5.99%; and an expected average
life of seven years for the Plan's options. At December 31, 1996 there were no
options exercisable under the Plan.

      A summary of the status of the Plan as of December 31, 1996 and changes
during the year then ended is presented below:

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

In June 1992, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into an asset
transfer agreement with Holdings and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries
(the "Asset Transfer Agreement"), and Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation
entered into a real property asset transfer agreement with Holdings (the "Real
Property Transfer Agreement" and, together with the Asset Transfer Agreement,
the "Transfer Agreements"), and pursuant to such agreements on June 24, 1992,
Holdings transferred assets to Products Corporation and Products Corporation
assumed all the liabilities of Holdings, other than certain specifically
excluded assets and liabilities (the liabilities excluded are referred to as
the "Excluded Liabilities"). Holdings retained certain small brands that
historically had not been profitable ("Retained Brands").

                                     F-23
<PAGE>

Holdings agreed to indemnify Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation against
losses arising from the Excluded Liabilities, and Revlon, Inc. and Products
Corporation agreed to indemnify Holdings against losses arising from the
liabilities assumed by Products Corporation. The amounts reimbursed by
Holdings to Products Corporation for the Excluded Liabilities for 1996, 1995
and 1994 were $1.4, $4.0 and $7.4, respectively.

BENEFIT PLANS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

      Holdings, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into a benefit
plans assumption agreement dated as of July 1, 1992 pursuant to which Products
Corporation assumed all rights, liabilities and obligations under all of
Holdings' benefit plans, arrangements and agreements, including obligations
under the Revlon Employees' Retirement Plan and the Revlon Employees' Savings
and Investment Plan. Products Corporation was substituted for Holdings as
sponsor of all such plans theretofore sponsored by Holdings.

OPERATING SERVICES AGREEMENT

      In June 1992, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and Holdings entered
into an operating services agreement (as amended and restated, and as
subsequently amended, the "Operating Services Agreement") pursuant to which
Products Corporation manufactures, markets, distributes, warehouses and
administers, including the collection of accounts receivable, the Retained
Brands for Holdings. Pursuant to the Operating Services Agreement, Products
Corporation is reimbursed an amount equal to all of its and Revlon, Inc.'s
direct and indirect costs incurred in connection with furnishing such services,
net of the amounts collected by Products Corporation with respect to the
Retained Brands, payable quarterly. The net amounts reimbursed by Holdings to
Products Corporation for such direct and indirect costs for 1996, 1995 and 1994
were $5.1, $8.6 and $11.5, respectively. Holdings also pays Products
Corporation a fee equal to 5% of the net sales of the Retained Brands, payable
quarterly. The fees paid by Holdings to Products Corporation pursuant to the
Operating Services Agreement for services with respect to the Retained Brands
for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were approximately $0.6, $1.7 and $1.9, respectively.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS

      Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews Holdings have entered
into reimbursement agreements (the "Reimbursement Agreements") pursuant to
which (i) MacAndrews Holdings is obligated to provide certain professional and
administrative services, including employees, to Revlon, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, and purchase services from third
party providers, such as insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf
of Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, to the
extent requested by Products Corporation, and (ii) Products Corporation is
obligated to provide certain professional and administrative services,
including employees, to MacAndrews Holdings and purchase services from third
party providers, such as insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf
of MacAndrews Holdings to the extent requested by MacAndrews Holdings, provided
that in each case the performance of such services does not cause an
unreasonable burden to MacAndrews Holdings or Products Corporation, as the case
may be. Products Corporation reimburses MacAndrews Holdings for the allocable
costs of the services purchased for or provided to Products Corporation and for
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of
such services. MacAndrews Holdings reimburses Products Corporation for the
allocable costs of the services purchased for or provided to MacAndrews
Holdings and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with the purchase or provision of such services. In addition, in connection
with certain insurance coverage provided by MacAndrews Holdings, Products
Corporation obtained letters of credit under the Special LC Facility (which
aggregated approximately $26.4 as of December 31, 1996) to support certain
self-funded risks of MacAndrews Holdings and its affiliates, including Revlon,
Inc., associated with such insurance coverage. The costs of such letters of
credit are allocated among, and paid by, the affiliates of MacAndrews Holdings,
including Revlon, Inc., which participate in the insurance coverage to which
the letters of credit relate. Revlon Worldwide expects that these self-funded
risks will be paid in the ordinary course and, therefore, it is unlikely that
such letters of credit will be drawn upon. MacAndrews Holdings has agreed to
indemnify Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation to the extent amounts are drawn
under any of such letters of credit with respect to claims for which Revlon,
Inc. and Products Corporation are not responsible. The net amounts reimbursed
by MacAndrews Holdings to Products Corporation for the services provided under
the Reimbursement Agreements for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $2.2, $3.0 and $1.6,
respectively. Each of Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation, on the one hand,
and MacAndrews Holdings, on the other, has agreed to indemnify the other party
for losses arising out of the provision of

                                     F-24
<PAGE>

services by it under the Reimbursement Agreements other than losses resulting
from its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Reimbursement Agreements
may be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice. Revlon Worldwide does
not expect Revlon, Inc. to request services under the Reimbursement Agreements
unless their costs would be at least as favorable to Revlon, Inc. as could be
obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

      In March 1993, Revlon Worldwide and MacAndrews Holdings entered into a
reimbursement agreement pursuant to which MacAndrews Holdings agreed to provide
third party services to Revlon Worldwide on the same basis as it provides
services to Revlon, Inc., and Revlon Worldwide agreed to indemnify MacAndrews
Holdings on the same basis as Revlon, Inc. is obligated to indemnify MacAndrews
Holdings under the Reimbursement Agreements. There were no services provided
pursuant to this agreement during 1996, 1995 or 1994.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS

      Holdings, Revlon Worldwide, Products Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries, Revlon, Inc. and Mafco Holdings are parties to the Tax Sharing
Agreements which are described in Note 9. Since the payments to be made by
Revlon, Inc. under the 1992 Tax Sharing Agreement and by Revlon Worldwide under
the 1993 Tax Sharing Agreement will be determined by the amount of taxes that
Revlon, Inc. or Revlon Worldwide, as the case may be, would otherwise have to
pay if it were to file separate federal, state and local income tax returns,
the Tax Sharing Agreements will benefit Mafco Holdings to the extent Mafco
Holdings can offset the taxable income generated by Revlon, Inc. or Revlon
Worldwide against losses and tax credits generated by Mafco Holdings and its
other subsidiaries.

FINANCING REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

      Holdings and Products Corporation entered into a financing reimbursement
agreement (the "Financing Reimbursement Agreement") in 1992 pursuant to which
Holdings agreed to reimburse Products Corporation for Holdings' allocable
portion of (i) the debt issuance cost and advisory fees related to the capital
restructuring of Holdings, and (ii) interest expense attributable to the higher
cost of funds paid by Products Corporation under the credit agreement in effect
at that time as a result of additional borrowings for the benefit of Holdings
in connection with the assumption of certain liabilities by Products
Corporation under the Asset Transfer Agreement and the repurchase of Old Senior
Subordinated Notes from affiliates. The amount of interest to be reimbursed by
Holdings for 1994 was approximately $0.8 and was evidenced by
noninterest-bearing promissory notes originally due and payable on June 30,
1995. In February 1995, the $13.3 in notes then payable by Holdings to Products
Corporation under the Financing Reimbursement Agreement was offset against a
$25.0 note payable by Products Corporation to Holdings and Holdings agreed not
to demand payment under the resulting $11.7 note payable by Products
Corporation so long as any indebtedness remained outstanding under the Former
Credit Agreement. In February 1995, the Financing Reimbursement Agreement was
amended and extended to provide that Holdings would reimburse Products
Corporation for a portion of the debt issuance costs and advisory fees related
to the Former Credit Agreement (which portion was approximately $4.7 and is
evidenced by a noninterest-bearing promissory note payable on June 30, 1996),
and 1 1/2 % per annum of the average balance outstanding under the Former
Credit Agreement and the average balance outstanding under working capital
borrowings from affiliates through June 30, 1996 and such amounts were
evidenced by a noninterest-bearing promissory note payable on June 30, 1996.
The amount of interest to be reimbursed by Holdings for 1995 was approximately
$4.2. As of December 31, 1995, the aggregate amount of notes payable by
Holdings under the Financing Reimbursement Agreement was $8.9. In June 1996,
$10.9 in notes due to Products Corporation, which included $2.0 of interest
reimbursement in 1996, under the Financing Reimbursement Agreement from
Holdings was offset against an $11.7 demand note payable by Products
Corporation to Holdings. The Financing Reimbursement Agreement expired on
June 30, 1996.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

      Prior to the consummation of the Offering, Revlon, Inc. and Revlon
Worldwide, entered into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which
Revlon Worldwide and certain transferees of Common Stock held by Revlon
Worldwide (the "Holders") have the right to require Revlon, Inc. to register
all or part of the Class A Common Stock owned by such Holders and the Class A
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock owned by such
Holders under the Securities Act (a "Demand Registration"); provided that
Revlon, Inc. may postpone

                                     F-25
<PAGE>

giving effect to a Demand Registration up to a period of 30 days if Revlon,
Inc. believes such registration might have a material adverse effect on any
plan or proposal by Revlon, Inc. with respect to any financing, acquisition,
recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, or Revlon,
Inc. is in possession of material non-public information that, if publicly
disclosed, could result in a material disruption of a major corporate
development or transaction then pending or in progress or in other material
adverse consequences to Revlon, Inc.. In addition, the Holders have the right
to participate in registrations by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock (a
"Piggyback Registration"). The Holders will pay all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with any Demand Registration. Revlon, Inc. will pay any
expenses incurred in connection with a Piggyback Registration, except for
underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses attributable to the shares of
Class A Common Stock sold by such Holders.

OTHER

      Pursuant to a lease dated April 2, 1993 (the "Edison Lease"), Holdings
leases to Products Corporation the Edison research and development facility for
a term of up to 10 years with an annual rent of $1.4 and certain shared
operating expenses payable by Products Corporation which, together with the
annual rent are not to exceed $2.0 per year. Pursuant to an assumption
agreement dated February 18, 1993, Holdings agreed to assume all costs and
expenses of the ownership and operation of the Edison facility as of January 1,
1993, other than (i) the operating expenses for which Products Corporation is
responsible under the Edison Lease and (ii) environmental claims and compliance
costs relating to matters which occurred prior to January 1, 1993 up to an
amount not to exceed $8.0 (the amount of such claims and costs for which
Products Corporation is responsible, the "Environmental Limit"). In addition,
pursuant to such assumption agreement, Products Corporation agreed to indemnify
Holdings for environmental claims and compliance costs relating to matters
which occurred prior to January 1, 1993 up to an amount not to exceed the
Environmental Limit and Holdings agreed to indemnify Products Corporation for
environmental claims and compliance costs relating to matters which occurred
prior to January 1, 1993 in excess of the Environmental Limit and all such
claims and costs relating to matters occurring on or after January 1, 1993.
Pursuant to an occupancy agreement, during 1996 and 1995 Products Corporation
rented a portion of the administration building located at the Edison facility
and space for a retail store of Products Corporation. Products Corporation
provides certain administrative services, including accounting, for Holdings
with respect to the Edison facility pursuant to which Products Corporation pays
on behalf of Holdings costs associated with the Edison facility and is
reimbursed by Holdings for such costs, less the amount owed by Products
Corporation to Holdings pursuant to the Edison Lease and the occupancy
agreement. The net amount reimbursed by Holdings to Products Corporation for
such costs with respect to the Edison facility for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
$1.1, $1.2 and $2.1, respectively.

      In the fourth quarter of 1996, Products Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries purchased an inactive subsidiary from an affiliate for net cash
consideration of approximately $3.0 in a series of transactions in which
Products Corporation expects to realize foreign tax benefits in future years.

      Effective January 1, 1996, Products Corporation acquired from Holdings
substantially all of the assets of Tarlow in consideration for the assumption
of substantially all of the liabilities and obligations of Tarlow. Net
liabilities assumed were approximately $3.4. The assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar
to that of a pooling of interests and, accordingly, prior period financial
statements have been restated as if the acquisition took place at the beginning
of the earliest period. Products Corporation paid $4.1 to Holdings which was
accounted for as an increase in capital deficiency. A nationally recognized
investment banking firm rendered its written opinion that the terms of the
purchase are fair from a financial standpoint to Products Corporation.

      Effective January 1, 1994, Products Corporation sold the inventory,
contracts, dedicated tools, dies and molds, intellectual property and a license
agreement relating to the NEW ESSENTIALS brand to Holdings for $2.2
(representing the net book value of such brand which Products Corporation
believes approximated its fair market value at the time of sale), and the
Operating Services Agreement was amended to include NEW ESSENTIALS as a
Retained Brand.

      During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Products Corporation leased certain
facilities to MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates pursuant to occupancy
agreements and leases including space at Products Corporation's New York
headquarters and at Products Corporation's offices in London and Tokyo. The
rent paid by MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates to Products Corporation for
1996, 1995 and 1994 was $4.6, $5.3 and $4.1, respectively.

                                     F-26
<PAGE>

      In July 1995, Products Corporation borrowed from Holdings approximately
$0.8, representing certain amounts received by Holdings relating to an
arbitration arising out of the sale by Holdings of certain of its businesses.
In 1995, Products Corporation borrowed from Holdings approximately $5.6,
representing certain amounts received by Holdings from the sale by Holdings of
certain of its businesses. Such amounts are evidenced by noninterest-bearing
promissory notes. Holdings agreed not to demand payment under such notes so
long as any indebtedness remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

      The Credit Agreement is supported by, among other things, guarantees from
Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries. The obligations under such guarantees
are secured by, among other things, (i) the capital stock and certain assets of
certain subsidiaries of Holdings and (ii) a mortgage on Holdings' Edison, New
Jersey facility.

      Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to time
to supplement its working capital borrowings. No such borrowings were
outstanding as of December 31, 1996, 1995 or 1994. The interest rates for such
borrowings are more favorable to Products Corporation than interest rates under
the Credit Agreement and, for borrowings occurring prior to the execution of
the Credit Agreement, the credit facility in effect at the time of such
borrowing. The amount of interest paid by Products Corporation for such
borrowings for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $0.5, $1.2 and $1.1, respectively.

      In November 1993, Products Corporation assigned to Holdings a lease for
warehouse space in New Jersey (the "N.J. Warehouse") between Products
Corporation and a trust established for the benefit of certain family members
of the Chairman of the Executive Committee. The N.J. Warehouse had become
vacant as a result of divestitures and restructuring of Products Corporation.
The lease has annual lease payments of approximately $2.3 and terminates on
June 30, 2005. In consideration for Holdings assuming all liabilities and
obligations under the lease, Products Corporation paid Holdings $7.5 (for which
a liability was previously recorded) in three installments of $2.5 each in
January 1994, January 1995 and January 1996. A nationally recognized investment
banking firm rendered its written opinion that the terms of the lease transfer
were fair from a financial standpoint to Products Corporation. During 1996,
1995 and 1994, Products Corporation paid certain costs associated with the N.J.
Warehouse on behalf of Holdings and was reimbursed by Holdings for such
amounts. The amounts reimbursed by Holdings to Products Corporation for such
costs were $0.2, $0.2 and $0.3 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

      During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Products Corporation used an airplane which
was owned by a corporation of which Messrs. Gittis, Drapkin and Levin were the
sole stockholders. Products Corporation paid approximately $0.2, $0.4 and $0.5
for the usage of the airplane for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As of
December 31, 1996, Mr. Levin no longer holds an ownership interest in the
corporation that owned the airplane.

      Consolidated Cigar, an affiliate of Products Corporation, assembles
lipstick cases for Products Corporation. Products Corporation paid
approximately $1.0, $1.0 and $0.6 for such services for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

      During 1994, Products Corporation was retained by an affiliate, Meridian,
to act as licensing agent for Meridian's trademarks. Products Corporation will
receive a percentage of any royalties generated by such licenses. No royalties
were earned by Meridian for 1994, 1995 or 1996. However, Meridian paid Products
Corporation approximately $0.1 in 1994 for reimbursement of expenses incurred
in connection with such licensing activities.

      In January 1995, Products Corporation agreed to license certain of its
trademarks to Guthy-Renker Corporation ("Guthy-Renker"), a corporation in which
an affiliate of MacAndrews & Forbes held a 37.5% equity interest, to be used by
Guthy-Renker in connection with the marketing and sale of hair extensions and
hair pieces. The amount paid by Guthy-Renker to Products Corporation pursuant
to such license for 1995 was less than $0.1. In connection with this licensing
arrangement, Guthy-Renker agreed to use Products Corporation as its exclusive
supplier of hair extensions and hair pieces. Guthy-Renker purchased $1.1 of
wigs from Products Corporation during 1995. Products Corporation terminated the
license with Guthy-Renker during 1995.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Company currently leases manufacturing, executive, including research
and development, and sales facilities and various types of equipment under
operating lease agreements. Rental expense was $51.7, $49.3 and $51.0

                                     F-27
<PAGE>

for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Minimum
rental commitments under all noncancelable leases, including those pertaining
to idled facilities and the Edison research and development facility, with
remaining lease terms in excess of one year from December 31, 1996 aggregated
$230.0; such commitments for each of the five years subsequent to December 31,
1996 are $37.9, $36.4, $31.2, $28.6 and $25.6, respectively. Such amounts
exclude the minimum rentals to be received in the future under noncancelable
subleases of $16.1.

      The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in litigation and
proceedings involving various matters. In the opinion of the Company's
management, based upon advice of its counsel handling such litigation and
proceedings, adverse outcomes, if any, will not result in a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

      (a) Includes the gain on issuance of subsidiary stock of $187.8 that
was recognized in connection with the Offering. See Note 16.

      (b) Includes a charge of $6.6 resulting from the write-off of deferred
financing costs associated with the extinguishment of the Former Credit
Agreement prior to maturity.

      (c) Effective January 1, 1996, Products Corporation acquired from
Holdings substantially all of the assets of Tarlow in consideration for the
assumption of substantially all of the liabilities and obligations of Tarlow.
Net liabilities assumed were approximately $3.4. The assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar
to that of a pooling of interests and, accordingly, prior period financial
statements presented have been restated as if the acquisition took place at the
beginning of the earliest period. Products Corporation paid $4.1 to Holdings
which was accounted for as an increase to capital deficiency.

15. GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS

      The Company operates in a single business segment. The Company has
operations based in 26 foreign countries and its products are sold throughout
the world. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in social, political
and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations and the Company's
results of operations and the value of its foreign assets are affected by
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company enters into
forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain cash flows denominated in
foreign currency. In addition, the Company's operations in Brazil (which
accounted for approximately 6.1% of the Company's net sales for 1996) are
subject to hyperinflationary conditions. There can be no assurance as to the
future effect of changes in social, political and economic conditions on the
Company's business or financial condition. During 1996, one customer accounted
for approximately 10.1% of the Company's consolidated net sales. Information
related to the Company's geographic segments for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996 with respect to operating results,
and as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 with respect to identifiable assets, is
presented below.

                                     F-28
<PAGE>

      Operating profit (loss), as presented below, is operating income, net
foreign currency translation (gains) losses and identifiable miscellaneous
income and expense; it excludes general corporate income and expenses, net
interest and investment income and expense, including amortization of debt
issuance costs, and income taxes. Export sales, including those to affiliates,
are not significant. Export sales to non-affiliates and related operating
profits are reflected in their geographic area of origin.

      Identifiable assets, as presented below, are those assets used in each
geographic area. Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents,
certain property and equipment and nonoperating assets.

which it issued and sold 8,625,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock for
$24.00 per share. The proceeds, net of underwriter's discount and related fees
and expenses, of $187.8 were contributed to Products Corporation and were used
by Products Corporation to repay borrowings outstanding under Products
Corporation's credit agreement in effect at that time and to pay fees and
