                              HOLMES PRODUCTS CORP.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1999

1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Holmes Products Corp. ("Holmes" or "HPC") designs, develops, imports and
     sells consumer durable goods, including fans, heaters, humidifiers, air
     purifiers, filters, accessories and lighting products, to retailers
     throughout the United States and Canada, and to a lesser extent, Europe.

     The Rival Company ("Rival") and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and
     market small kitchen, home environment and personal care appliances,
     commercial and industrial fans, and ventilation equipment as well as sump,
     well and utility pumps. Rival sells its products to retail and industrial
     customers, primarily in the U.S. and Canada and, to a larger degree than
     HPC, internationally. Rival is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HPC.

     Holmes Products (Far East) Limited ("HPFEL") and its subsidiaries
     manufacture and sell consumer durable goods, including fans, heaters and
     humidifiers, mainly to HPC. HPFEL operates facilities in Hong Kong and The
     People's Republic of China.

     HPFEL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HPC. Prior to the recapitalization
     transaction described in Note 4, HPC and HPFEL were both directly or
     indirectly an 80% owned subsidiary of Asco Investments Ltd., a subsidiary
     of Pentland Group plc ("Pentland").

2.   BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts of
     HPC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rival, HPFEL, Holmes Manufacturing
     Corp., Holmes Air (Taiwan) Corp., Holmes Motor Corp. and Holmes Air
     (Canada) Corp. The accompanying unaudited financial statements also
     include the accounts of Rival's direct and indirect wholly-owned
     subsidiaries, Bionaire International B.V., Patton Building Products, Inc.,
     Patton Electric Company, Inc., Patton Electric (Hong Kong) Limited, Rival
     Consumer Sales Corporation, The Rival Company of Canada, Ltd., Rival de
     Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Waverly Products Company, Ltd. and HPFEL's
     wholly-owned subsidiaries, Esteem Industries Ltd., Raider Motor Corp.,
     Dongguan Huixin Electrical Products Company, Ltd., Holmes Products
     (Europe) Ltd. and Dongguan Raider Motor Corp. Ltd. All significant
     inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     HPC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Rival, HPFEL and their
     respective subsidiaries, are referred to herein as the "Company."

3.   ACQUISITION

     On February 5, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of Rival for an
     aggregate of $279.5 million, including $129.4 million cash paid in
     connection with a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Common
     Stock of The Rival Company (including payments to optionees), $142.9
     million to refinance Rival's outstanding debt and $7.2 million in
     acquisition costs. The acquisition was made utilizing cash on hand,
     borrowings under an amended and restated Credit Facility entered into in
     connection with the acquisition, the issuance of $31.3 million of senior
     subordinated notes and proceeds of $50.0 million from the sale of Holmes'
     common stock to investment funds affiliated with Holmes' majority
     shareholder, certain members of Holmes' management and to certain other
     co-investors. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and
     the results of operations of Rival have been included in the consolidated
     financial statements since the date of acquisition. The excess of the
     purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was
     approximately $86.0 million and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
     over 35 years. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
     net assets acquired reflects the adjustments necessary to allocate the
     purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed
     and additional liabilities recorded. Additional liabilities recorded
     include approximately $6.0 million of estimated restructuring costs
     comprised primarily of severance, employee relocation costs, and costs to
     exit duplicative office locations. The allocation of the purchase price to
     the net assets of Rival is preliminary. Management intends to complete its
     assessment of the fair value of assets acquired by December 31, 1999.

     Prior to the acquisition by Holmes, Rival recorded an $8.4 million
     restructuring charge relating to the closing of three facilities. Each of
     these facilities has been closed or is scheduled to be closed during fiscal
     1999 and the Company plans to sell these properties. The estimated fair
     value of these properties has been reflected in the March 31, 1999 balance
     sheet as assets held for sale. Additionally, non-recurring wind down costs
     and fixed asset writedowns incurred during the quarter relating to these
     facilities have been included as plant closing costs in the consolidated
     statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the Company's results of
     operations for the periods indicated as if the acquisition had been
     completed as of the beginning of the periods presented. These unaudited pro
     forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include
     certain adjustments, such as increased interest expense on acquisition debt
     and additional amortization expense as a result of the goodwill. They do
     not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually
     would have resulted had the acquisitions been in effect on January 1, 1998,
     or of future results of operations.

4.   RECAPITALIZATION

     On November 26, 1997, the Company and its stockholders consummated an
     agreement to perform the following: (i) the stockholders of HPFEL
     contributed their shares of common stock to HPC in exchange for 2,750,741
     shares of HPC's common stock (ii) HPC issued 4,718,579 shares of its
     common stock to outside investors and certain executive officers of the
     Company for approximately $15.5 million, net of related issuance costs,
     (iii) the Company repaid all amounts outstanding to Pentland affiliates
     and repaid all amounts outstanding on the Company's trade acceptances,
     including accrued interest, and (iv) HPC redeemed 18,620,450 shares of HPC
     common stock held by Pentland for approximately $62.1 million. In
     connection with these transactions, HPC issued $105.0 million of 9 7/8%
     Senior Subordinated Notes due in November 2007 and borrowed $27.5 million
     under a new line of credit facility.

     The transactions described above have been accounted for as a leveraged
     recapitalization of the Company. The Company has retained its historical
     cost basis of accounting, due to the significant minority shareholders
     which remained. The shares redeemed from Pentland have been recorded as
     treasury stock, at cost.

5.   UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
     normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of
     the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1999 and the Company's
     results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
     1998 and 1999. This interim financial information and notes thereto should
     be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and
     its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file number 333-77905), which
     include or incorporate by reference HPC's audited financial statements
     for the year ended December 31, 1998, as well as certain financial
     statements of Rival. Due to the seasonality of the Company's business, the
     Company's consolidated results of operations for the three month period
     ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year.

     All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
     determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method on approximately
     75% of the inventories and the last-in, first-out method (LIFO) for the

7.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     Senior Subordinated Notes

     In connection with the recapitalization transactions described in Note 4
     and the Rival acquisition described in Note 3, HPC issued $105.0 million
     and $31.3 million, respectively, in senior subordinated notes, maturing on
     November 15, 2007 (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at 9 7/8%,
     payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. No principal is due until
     the maturity date.

     The Notes are subordinated to the Company's other debt, including the
     Credit Facility (as described below) and capital leases. The Notes are
     guaranteed by HPC's current and future domestic subsidiaries (see Note 12)
     on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis, but are otherwise
     unsecured.

     HPC can, at its option, redeem the Notes at any time after November 15,
     2002, subject to a fixed schedule of redemption prices which declines from
     104.9% to 100% of the face value. However, HPC may redeem up to $43.3
     million of the Notes prior to such date at a price of 109.875% of face
     value upon issuance of equity securities. Additionally, upon certain sales
     of stock or assets or a change of control of HPC, HPC must offer to
     repurchase all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price of 101% of
     face value.

     The Notes contain certain restrictions and covenants, including
     limitations (based on certain financial ratios) on HPC's ability to pay
     dividends, repurchase stock or incur additional debt (other than
     borrowings under the Credit Facility). The Notes and Credit Facility
     contain cross-default provisions.

     Credit Facility

     The Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Facility agreement
     in February, 1999 in connection with the Rival acquisition. The Credit
     Facility consists of a six-year tranche A term loan of $40.0 million, an
     eight-year tranche B term loan of $85.0 million and a $200.0 million,
     six-year revolving credit facility. The Credit Facility bears interest at
     variable rates based on either the prime rate or LIBOR, at the Company's
     option, plus a margin which, in the case of the tranche A term loan and
     the revolving credit facility, varies depending upon certain financial
     ratios of the Company. The Credit Facility, and the guarantees thereof by
     the Company's domestic subsidiaries, are secured by substantially all of
     the Company's domestic and certain foreign assets. The Credit Facility and
     the Notes Indentures include

     certain financial and operating covenants, which, among other things,
     restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, grant
     liens, make investments and take certain other actions. The ability of the
     Company to meet its debt service obligations will be dependent upon the
     future performance of the Company, which will be impacted by general
     economic conditions and other factors. See "Forward-Looking Statements."

     Long term debt consists of the following:

9.   BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company manages its operations through four business segments: consumer
     durables, industrial and building supply (industrial), international and
     Far East. The consumer durables segment sells products including fans,
     heaters, humidifiers, air purifiers, Crock-Pot (R) slow cookers, toasters,
     ice cream freezers, can openers, showerheads, massagers, electric space
     heaters and lighting products to retailers throughout the U.S. The consumer
     durables segment is made up of home environment products and kitchen
     electric products and are considered one business segment due to the
     similar customer base and distribution channels. The industrial segment
     sells products including industrial fans and drum blowers, household
     ventilation, ceiling fans, door chimes and electric heaters to electrical
     and industrial wholesale distributors throughout the U.S. The international
     segment sells the Company's products outside the U.S. The Far East segment
     is the manufacturing and sourcing operation located primarily at HPFEL. For
     disclosure purposes, the industrial segment and international segment are
     shown as "Other" as neither segment comprises greater than 10% separately
     or in the aggregate.

     The Company evaluates performance in part based upon operating income,
     which it defines as gross profit less selling, general and administrative,
     product development expenses and amortization of goodwill and other
     intangible assets.

</TABLE>

     Net sales are grouped based on the geographic origin of the transaction.
     The "Other International" area is comprised of sales of products that
     originated in Europe, Mexico, Latin America and Canada.

     The Company's manufacturing entities in the Far East sell completed
     products to HPC in the United States at intercompany transfer prices which
     reflect management's estimate of amounts which would be charged by an
     unrelated third party. These sales are eliminated in consolidation. The
     remaining Far East sales are to unrelated third parties.

     Corporate assets at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 represent debt
     issuance costs associated with the Company's senior subordinated notes and
     credit facility. As these borrowings support operations on a worldwide
     basis, these deferred costs have been excluded from the individual
     geographic areas. All of the Company's other assets are used in the
     operations of individual entities in the different geographic areas.

                              HOLMES PRODUCTS CORP.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

10.  CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is involved in litigation and is the subject of claims arising
     in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, based
     upon discussions with legal counsel, no existing litigation or claims will
     have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
     results of operations and cash flows.

11.  RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

12.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION

     The senior subordinated notes described in Note 7 were issued by HPC and
     are guaranteed by Rival and its three domestic subsidiaries and Holmes
     Manufacturing Corp. ("Manufacturing"), Holmes Motor Corp. ("Motor") and
     Holmes Air (Taiwan) Corp. ("Taiwan"), but are not guaranteed by HPC's other
     subsidiaries, HPFEL and Holmes Air (Canada) Corp. ("Canada"), or Rival's
     five foreign subsidiaries. The guarantor subsidiaries are directly or
     indirectly wholly-owned by HPC, and the guarantees are full, unconditional
     and joint and several. The following condensed consolidating financial
     information presents the financial position, results of operations and cash
     flows of (i) HPC, as parent, as if it accounted for its subsidiaries on the
     equity method, (ii) Rival (on a consolidated basis following its
     acquisition by HPC, including its non-guarantor foreign subsidiaries),
     Manufacturing, Motor and Taiwan, the guarantor subsidiaries, and (iii)
     HPFEL and Canada, the non-guarantor subsidiaries. There were no
     transactions between Rival, Manufacturing, Motor and Taiwan, or between
     HPFEL and Canada, during any of the periods presented. Taiwan had no
     revenues or operations during the periods presented, and Manufacturing
     ceased operations in March 1997. As further described in Note 14 of the
     Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
     1998, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission, certain of HPFEL's subsidiaries in China have
     restrictions on distributions to their parent companies.
