ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BACKGROUND

         Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation" and
together with its subsidiaries, 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, ALMAY TIME-OFF, ULTIMA II,
JEANNE GATINEAU and NATURAL HONEY in skin care; CHARLIE and FIRE & ICE, in
fragrances; FLEX, OUTRAGEOUS, AQUAMARINE, MITCHUM, COLORSTAY, COLORSILK, JEAN
NATE, PLUSBELLE, BOZZANO and COLORAMA in personal care products; and ROUX
FANCI-FULL, REALISTIC, CREME OF NATURE, CREATIVE NAIL 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 over 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 21 years) for 1997. The Company has the
number two position in face makeup in the United States self-select
distribution channel for 1997. Propelled by the success of its new product
launches and market share gains in its existing product lines, the Company
captured in 1996 and continued to hold in 1997 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
21.6% for 1997. The Company also has leading market positions in several
product categories in certain markets outside of the United States, including
in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and South Africa.

         In the United States, the self-select distribution channel, in which
consumers select their own purchases without the assistance of an in-store
demonstrator, includes independent drug stores and chain drug stores (such as
Walgreens, CVS, Eckerds and Rite Aid), 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). Internationally,
the self-select distribution channel includes retailers such as Boots in the
United Kingdom and Western Europe, Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada and Wal-Mart
worldwide. The foregoing retailers, among others, sell the Company's products.

         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"). 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.

         On February 2, 1998, Revlon Escrow Corp. ("Revlon Escrow"), an
affiliate of Products Corporation, issued and sold in a private placement $650
million aggregate principal amount of 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008
(the "8 5/8% Notes") and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 8 1/8%
Senior Notes due 2006 (the "8 1/8% Notes" and, together with the 8 5/8% Notes,
the "Notes"), with the net proceeds deposited into escrow. The proceeds from
the sale of the Notes will be used to finance the redemption of Products
Corporation's $555 million aggregate principal amount of 10 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") and $260 million
aggregate principal amount of 9 3/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior

                                       2
<PAGE>

Notes" and, together with the Senior Subordinated Notes, the "Old Notes").
Products Corporation delivered a redemption notice to the holders of the Senior
Subordinated Notes for the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes on March
4, 1998, at which time Products Corporation assumed the obligations under
the 8 5/8% Notes and the related indenture (the "8 5/8% Notes Assumption"), and
to the holders of the Senior Notes for the redemption of the Senior Notes on
April 1, 1998, at which time Products Corporation will assume the obligations
under the 8 1/8% Notes and the related indenture (the "8 1/8% Notes Assumption"
and, together with the 8 5/8% Notes Assumption, the "Assumption"). On or before
March 19, 1998 either Revlon Escrow or Products Corporation is required to file
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for registered
notes with substantially identical terms (the "Exchange Offer"). The Exchange
Offer is expected to occur on or before July 2, 1998.

         On April 25, 1997, Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc. ("PFC"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Products Corporation, and The Cosmetic Center, Inc.
("CCI") completed the merger of PFC with and into CCI (the "Cosmetic Center
Merger") with CCI (subsequent to the Cosmetic Center Merger, "Cosmetic Center")
surviving the Cosmetic Center Merger. In the Cosmetic Center Merger, Products
Corporation received in exchange for all of the capital stock of PFC newly
issued Class C Common Stock of Cosmetic Center constituting approximately 85.0%
of Cosmetic Center's outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Cosmetic Center
Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting, so that PFC is considered the acquiring entity for accounting
purposes even though Cosmetic Center is the surviving legal entity. The results
of the Company for 1997 include the results of operations of Cosmetic Center
from and after the effective date of the Cosmetic Center Merger.

         In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the
"Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members
change from time to time. The proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement
were used for the purpose of repaying the loans outstanding under the credit
agreement in effect at that time (the "1996 Credit Agreement") and to redeem
Products Corporation's 10 7/8% Sinking Fund Debentures due 2010 (the "Sinking
Fund Debentures") and were and will be used for general corporate purposes or,
in the case of the Acquisition Facility (as defined herein), the financing of
acquisitions. The Credit Agreement provides up to $750.0 million and is
comprised of five senior secured facilities: $200.0 million in two term loan
facilities (the "Term Loan Facilities"), a $300.0 million multi-currency
facility (the "Multi-Currency Facility"), a $200.0 million revolving
acquisition facility, which may be increased to $400.0 million under certain
circumstances with the consent of a majority of the lenders (the "Acquisition
Facility"), and a $50.0 million special standby letter of credit facility (the
"Special LC Facility").

         On March 5, 1996, Revlon, Inc., the direct parent of Products
Corporation, completed an initial public equity offering (the "Revlon IPO") 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 underwriters' discount and related fees
and expenses, of $187.8 million 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 (the "1995
Credit Agreement") and to pay fees and expenses related to entering into the
1996 Credit Agreement.

         Products Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in April 1992. On
June 24, 1992, 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 relating to dates or periods prior to the formation of Products
Corporation mean the cosmetics and skin care, fragrance and personal care
products business of Holdings to which Products Corporation has succeeded.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Form 10-K to the
Company, Revlon or Products Corporation mean Revlon Consumer Products
Corporation and its subsidiaries.

         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.

         The Company's premium priced cosmetics and skin care products are sold
under the ULTIMA II brand name, which is the Company's flagship premium priced
brand sold throughout the world, and the JEANNE GATINEAU brand name, which is
sold outside the United States. The ULTIMA II line includes the WONDERWEAR
collection, which includes a long-wearing foundation that uses patent-pending
technology, cheek and eyecolor products that use proprietary technology that
provides long wear, and WONDERWEAR LIPSEXXXY lipstick, which uses patented
transfer-resistant technology that provides long wear, the BEAUTIFUL NUTRIENT
collection, a complete line of nourishing makeup that provides advanced
nutrient protection against dryness and THE NAKEDS makeup, a trend-setting line
of makeup emphasizing neutral colors.

         Fragrances. The Company sells a selection of moderately priced and
premium priced fragrances, including perfumes, eau de toilettes and colognes.
The Company's portfolio includes fragrances such as CHARLIE and FIRE & ICE and
line extensions such as CHARLIE RED, CHARLIE WHITE, CHARLIE SUNSHINE and FIRE &
ICE COOL. The Company's CHARLIE fragrance has been a market leader since the
mid-1970's and, the Company believes, one of the top selling fragrances
worldwide. In international markets, the Company distributes under license
certain brands, including VERSACE and VAN GILS.

         Personal Care Products. The Company sells a broad line of personal
care consumer products which complements its core cosmetics lines and enables
the Company to meet the consumer's broader beauty care needs. In the
self-select distribution channel, the Company sells haircare, anti-perspirant
and other personal care products, including the FLEX, OUTRAGEOUS and AQUAMARINE
haircare lines throughout the world and the COLORAMA, PLUSBELLE, JUVENA,
LLONGUERAS and NATURAL HONEY brands outside the United States; the
breakthrough, patent-pending COLORSTAY and the COLORSILK, REVLON SHADINGS,
FROST & GLOW and ROUX FANCI-FULL hair coloring lines throughout most of the
world; and the MITCHUM, LADY MITCHUM and HI & DRI anti-perspirant brands
throughout the world. Certain hair care products, including ROUX FANCI-FULL
hair coloring and PERFECT TOUCH and SALON PERFECTION home permanents, were
originally developed for professional use. The Company also markets
hypo-allergenic personal care products, including sunscreens, moisturizers and
anti-perspirants, under the ALMAY brand.

         Professional Products. The Company sells a comprehensive line of salon
products, including permanent wave preparations, hair relaxers, temporary and
permanent hair coloring products, shampoos, conditioners, styling products and
hair conditioners, to professional salons and beauty supply stores under the
REVLON brand as well as other brand names such as ROUX FANCI-FULL, REALISTIC,
REVLONISSIMO, CREME OF NATURE, FABU-LAXER, LOTTABODY, NATURAL WONDER, SENSOR
and INTERCOSMO. Most of the Company's salon products in the United States
currently are distributed in the non-exclusive distribution channels, in
contrast to those products that are distributed exclusively to professional
salons. Two recent acquisitions, Creative Nail Design, Inc. ("Creative Nail"),
acquired in November 1995, and American Crew, Inc., acquired in April 1996,
increase the Company's strength in the exclusive distribution channel. Through
Creative Nail, the Company sells nail enhancement systems and nail color and
treatment products and services for use by the professional salon industry
under the CREATIVE NAIL brand name. Through American Crew, Inc. the Company
sells men's shampoos, conditioners, gels, and other hair care products for use
by professional salons under the AMERICAN CREW brand name. 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 also
developed a new exclusive line of ethnic products, AROSCI, which was 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 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.
Advertising and consumer-directed promotion expenditures increased by 11.8% in
1997 over 1996 levels and by 17.4% in 1996 over 1995 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. 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 34 countries and 18 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 on-the-road beauty sampling and information
vehicles that travel to major retailers throughout the United States, at which
Company trainers educate consumers on the latest product and shade offerings.
These vehicles create consumer and retail excitement about the Company's new
and existing 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, and permit consumers to
test, the Company's 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's website at http://www.revlon.com features current
product and promotional information and was recently recognized by a major
national business magazine as one of the top corporate sites on the World Wide
Web. Revlon was the only cosmetics company to receive this recognition.

         Professional Products. Professional products are marketed through
educational seminars on their application and benefits and through advertising,
displays and samples to communicate to professionals and consumers the quality
and performance characteristics of such products. The Company's shift to
exclusive line distributors is intended to 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 cross-functional group
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 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 researchers at the Edison facility are responsible for all of the
Company's new product research worldwide, performing research for new products,
ideas, concepts and packaging. The Company also has research facilities in
Brazil and California.

         The research and development group at the Edison facility also
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.

         As of December 31, 1997, 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 1997, 1996 and 1995 the Company spent
approximately $29.7 million, $26.3 million and $22.3 million, respectively, on
research and development activities.

         In certain instances, proprietary technology developed by the Company
for use in products and packaging is available for licensing to third parties
through the Company's Revlon Technologies division. In 1995, the Company
received the Innovation Award from the Coalition of NorthEast Governors
("CONEG") for its patented and patent-pending ENVIROGLUV glass decorating
technology (which resulted in significant cost reductions in decorating REVLON
AGE DEFYING and COLORSTAY makeup bottles and REVLON nail enamel bottles and
which is being offered for licensing to qualified glass decorators). The CONEG
challenge awards program is a nationwide competition to recognize companies
that make significant contributions to packaging and source reduction.

MANUFACTURING AND RELATED OPERATIONS AND RAW MATERIALS

         The Company is continuing to rationalize 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 the
Company 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
continuing efforts to improve operating efficiencies, the Company attempts to
ensure that a significant portion of its capital expenditures is devoted to
improving operating efficiencies.

         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
and its Canadian 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 products for sale through salons
worldwide are manufactured and distributed through the Vista, California
facility. Personal care implements for sale throughout the world are
manufactured at the Company's Irvington, New Jersey 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 and Oxford facilities have been
ISO-9002 certified. An ISO-9002 certification is an internationally recognized
standard for manufacturing

                                       9
<PAGE>

facilities, which signifies that the manufacturing facility has achieved and
maintains certain performance and quality commitment standards.

         The Company manufactures its entire line of consumer products (except
implements) for sale in most 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,
Italy, Argentina, France 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, Italy and Mexico.
Production of color cosmetics for Japan and Mexico has been shifted primarily
to the United States while production of REVLON brand personal care products
for Argentina has been centralized in Brazil. The Maesteg and Irish facilities
have 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 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 from most of the
Company's principal manufacturing facilities 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.

         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 $12 million for 1997,
and the Company anticipates a similar level of expenditure in 1998. 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.

         The Company has made an evaluation of steps necessary to address
issues related to required changes in computer systems for the Year 2000. While
the Company has determined that it currently has computer systems that require
modification to be Year 2000 compliant, many of the modifications are being
accomplished as part of the systems improvements referred to above. As to its
systems which are not impacted by the improvements referred to above, the
Company is identifying those which require modification or replacement to
address the Year 2000 issue. Management believes that there is no material risk
that the Company will fail to address the Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.
Additionally, the Company believes that the Year 2000 issue will not have a
material effect on its financial condition.

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 2,900 people
as of December 31, 1997, 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, for salon distribution, and for retail stores. 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 60.8% of the Company's 1997 net sales, a majority of which were
made in the self-select 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, 1997, 19
licenses were in effect relating to 21 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.

         The Company also operates retail stores through Cosmetic Center. As of
December 31, 1997, Cosmetic Center's retail (or Cosmetic Center) division
operated 66 specialty retail stores in the middle Atlantic region and in
Chicago and its outlet (or Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics) division operated
201 retail outlet stores throughout the United States. The stores in the
Cosmetic Center division offer a broad range of brand name prestige and mass
merchandised cosmetics products at value prices. The stores in the Prestige
Fragrance & Cosmetics division operate in factory outlet malls, rural areas and
other similar locations that are not disruptive to the Company's principal
distribution channels. In these stores, Cosmetic Center sells the Company's
first quality, first quality excess, returned and refurbished, and discontinued
consumer products and retail professional products, as well as similar products
of other cosmetics companies.

         International. The International operation's net sales accounted for
approximately 39.2% of the Company's 1997 net sales. The International
operation's ten largest countries in terms of these sales, which include, among
others, Brazil, Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Canada and
Japan, accounted for approximately 28% of the Company's net sales in 1997, with
Brazil accounting for approximately 5.5% 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. As of
December 31, 1997, the Company actively sold its products through wholly owned
subsidiaries established 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; Russia; 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 Emporium, American Drug Stores, Eckerds,
and Rite Aid in the self-select distribution channel, J.C. Penney in the
demonstrator-assisted distribution channel, Sally's Beauty Company for
professional products, Boots in the United Kingdom and Western Europe and
Wal-Mart worldwide. The foregoing principal customers each accounted for 1% or
more of the Company's net sales in 1997 and are representative of the Company's
customers.

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 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

         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, COLORSTAY haircolor, FLEX & GO shampoo,
LENGTHWISE mascara, classic REVLON nail enamel, TOP SPEED nail enamel, REVLON

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 geographic,
financial and other information of the Company is set forth in Note 18 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 1997, the Company employed the equivalent of
approximately 16,000 full-time persons. Approximately 2,100 of such employees
in the United States are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The
Company will be negotiating collective bargaining agreements or portions
thereof covering employees in eleven countries outside the United States during
1998 (namely, Australia, Brazil, England, France, Ireland, Israel, Italy,
Japan, Mexico, South Africa and Spain). Although there can be no assurance, the
Company expects that such agreements will be renewed in the ordinary course,
and further believes that its employee relations are satisfactory. Although the
Company has experienced minor work stoppages of limited duration in the past in
the ordinary course of business, such work stoppages have not had a material
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

of approximately $7.6 million in connection with the implementation of its
business strategy to rationalize factory and warehouse operations, including
primarily severance and other related costs in certain operations and the

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 principally
for use in and resale by professional salons. In addition, the Company also
operates retail and outlet stores and has a licensing group.

         The Company presents its business geographically as its United States

$37.6 and $38.0, S,G&A expenses of $61.9, $38.4 and $36.5, and operating (loss)
income of ($3.1), $1.4 and ($1.8). 1997 includes business consolidation costs
of $4.0 in the operating (loss).

** Excluding the results of Cosmetic Center, after giving effect to certain
intercompany adjustments for 1997, 1996 and 1995, the above percentages would
have been, respectively: cost of sales of 33.2%, 32.9% and 32.9%, gross profit
of 66.8%, 67.1% and 67.1%, S,G&A expenses of 57.0%, 57.5 % and 59.2%, business
consolidation costs and other, net, of 0.1%, 0% and 0% and operating income of

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

 NET SALES

         Net sales were $2,390.9 and $2,169.5 for 1997 and 1996, respectively,
an increase of $221.4, or 10.2% or 12.6% on a constant U.S. dollar basis,
primarily as a result of successful new product introductions worldwide,
increased demand in the United States, the impact of the Cosmetic Center
Merger, 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
$1,452.5 for 1997 from $1,259.7 for 1996, an increase of $192.8, or 15.3%. Net
sales improved for 1997, primarily as a result of continued consumer acceptance
of new product offerings, general improvement in consumer demand for the
Company's color cosmetics and the impact of the Cosmetic Center Merger. These
results were partially offset by a decline in the Company's fragrance business
caused by downward trends in the mass fragrance industry and the Company's
strategy to de-emphasize new fragrance products. Even though consumer
sell-through for the REVLON and ALMAY brands, as described below in more
detail, has increased significantly, the Company's sales to its customers have
been during 1997 and may continue to be impacted by retail inventory balancing
and reductions resulting from consolidation in the chain drugstore industry in
the U.S.

         REVLON brand color cosmetics continued as the number one brand in
dollar market share in the self-select distribution channel with a share of
21.6% for 1997 versus 21.4% for 1996. 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 1997, certain products
launched during 1996) generated incremental net sales in 1997, principally as a
result of launches of products in the COLORSTAY collection, including COLORSTAY
eye makeup and face products such as powder and blush, COLORSTAY haircolor,
launched in the third quarter of 1997, TOP SPEED nail enamel, launched in the
third quarter of 1997, and launches of REVLON AGE DEFYING line extensions, the
STREETWEAR collection, NEW COMPLEXION face makeup, LINE & SHINE lip makeup and
launches of products in the ALMAY AMAZING collection, including lip makeup, eye
makeup, face makeup and concealer, ALMAY ONE COAT, and ALMAY TIME-OFF
REVITALIZER.

         International. The International operation's net sales increased to
$938.4 for 1997 from $909.8 for 1996, an increase of $28.6, or 3.1% on a
reported basis or 8.8% on a constant U.S. dollar basis. Net sales improved for
1997, principally as a result of increased distribution into the expanding
self-select distribution channel, successful new product introductions,
including the continued roll-out of the COLORSTAY cosmetics collection and the
further development of new international markets. This was partially offset by
the Company's decision to exit the unprofitable demonstrator-assisted channel
in Japan in the second half of 1996, unfavorable economic conditions in several
international markets, and, on a reported basis, the unfavorable effect on
sales of a stronger U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies, primarily
the Spanish peseta, the Italian lira and several other European currencies, the
Australian dollar, the South African rand and the Japanese yen. New products
such as COLORSTAY haircolor and STREETWEAR were introduced in select
international markets in the second half of 1997. During 1997, the
International operation's sales were divided into the following geographic
areas: Europe, which is comprised of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (in
which net sales increased by 3.4% on a reported basis to $417.9 for 1997 as
compared to 1996 or an increase of 11.3% on a constant U.S. dollar basis); the
Western Hemisphere, which is comprised of Canada, Mexico, Central America,
South America and Puerto Rico (in which net sales increased by 11.1% on a
reported basis to $346.6 for 1997 as compared to 1996 or an increase of 14.5%
on a constant U.S. dollar basis); and the Far East (in which net sales
decreased by 10.3% on a reported basis to $173.9 for 1997 as compared to 1996
or a decrease of 5.5% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). Excluding in both
periods the effect of the Company's strategy of exiting the
demonstrator-assisted distribution channel in Japan, Far East net sales on a
constant U.S. dollar basis for 1997 would have been at approximately the same
level as those in 1996.

         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 $130.9, $16.0 and
$7.7, respectively, for 1997 compared to $132.7, $25.1 and $20.0, respectively,
for 1996. Results of operations in Brazil for 1997 were adversely 

                                      17
<PAGE>

impacted by competitive activity affecting the Company's toiletries business.

 Cost of sales

         As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 34.8% for 1997
compared to 33.5% for 1996. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales is due primarily to the impact of the Cosmetic Center Merger.
Excluding the results of Cosmetic Center, as a percentage of net sales, cost of
sales would have been 33.2% for 1997 compared to 32.9% for 1996. Other factors
which increased cost of sales as a percentage of net sales included factors
which enhanced overall operating income, including increased sales of the
Company's higher cost, enhanced-performance, technology-based products and
increased export sales and other factors including 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. These factors
were partially offset by the benefits of improved overhead absorption against
higher production volumes and more efficient global production and purchasing.

S,G&A expenses

         As a percentage of net sales, S,G&A expenses were 55.9% for 1997, an
improvement from 57.2% for 1996. S,G&A expenses other than advertising and
consumer-directed promotion expenses, as a percentage of net sales, improved to
39.3% for 1997 compared with 40.8% for 1996, primarily as a result of reduced
general and administrative expenses, improved productivity and lower
distribution costs in 1997 compared with those in 1996. In accordance with its
business strategy, the Company increased advertising and consumer-directed
promotion expenditures in 1997 compared with 1996 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 and consumer-directed promotion expenses
increased by 11.8% to $397.4, or 16.6% of net sales, for 1997 from $355.5, or
16.4% of net sales, for 1996.

 Business consolidation costs and other, net

         Business consolidation costs and other, net, in 1997 include severance
and other costs in connection with the consolidation of certain warehouse,
distribution and headquarter operations related to the Cosmetic Center Merger,
severance, writedowns of certain assets to their estimated net realizable value
and other related costs to rationalize factory operations in certain operations
in accordance with the Company's business strategy, partially offset by related
gains from the sales of certain factory operations and an approximately $12.7
settlement of a claim in the second quarter of 1997. These business
consolidations are intended to lower the Company's operating costs and increase
efficiency in the future.

 Operating income

         As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $13.1, or
6.5%, to $214.5 for 1997 from $201.4 for 1996.

 Other expenses/income

         Interest expense was $136.2 for 1997 compared to $133.4 for 1996. The
slight increase in interest expense in 1997 is due to higher average
outstanding borrowings, partially offset by lower interest rates.

         Gain on sale of subsidiary stock of $6.0 was recognized in the second
quarter of 1997 as a result of the Cosmetic Center Merger.

         Foreign currency losses, net, were $6.4 for 1997 compared to $5.7 for
1996. The increase in foreign currency losses for 1997 as compared to 1996
resulted primarily from a non recurring gain recognized in 1996 in connection
with the Company's simplification of its international corporate structure and
from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus currencies in the Far East and
most European currencies, partially offset by the stabilization of the
Venezuelan bolivar and Mexican peso versus the devaluations which occurred
during 1996.

                                      18
<PAGE>

Provision for income taxes

         The provision for income taxes was $9.4 and $25.5 for 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower taxable income
in certain International operations, partially as a result of the
implementation of tax planning, including the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards in certain International operations, and benefits from net
operating loss carryforwards domestically.

 Extraordinary item

         The extraordinary item in 1997 resulted from the write-off in the
second quarter of 1997 of deferred financing costs associated with the early
extinguishment of borrowings under the 1996 Credit Agreement prior to maturity
with proceeds from the Credit Agreement, and costs of approximately $6.3 in
connection with the redemption of Products Corporation's Sinking Fund
Debentures. The extraordinary item in 1996 resulted from the write-off in the
first quarter of 1996 of deferred financing costs associated with the early
extinguishment of borrowings under the 1995 Credit Agreement prior to maturity
with the net proceeds from the Revlon IPO and proceeds from the 1996 Credit
Agreement.

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

Net sales

         Net sales were $2,169.5 and $1,940.0 for 1996 and 1995, respectively,
an increase of $229.5, or 11.8%, primarily as a result of successful new
product introductions worldwide, increased demand in the United States,
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
$1,259.7 for 1996 from $1,115.4 for 1995, an increase of $144.3, 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 brand
cosmetics in the color cosmetics business in the United States self-select
distribution channel to 21.4% for 1996 from 19.5% 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. During 1996, the
International operation's sales were 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, 



                                      19
<PAGE>

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. 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 in Europe and the Far East. The aforementioned increases
in sales that negatively impacted cost of sales were, however, more profitable
to the Company's overall operating results.

S,G&A expenses

         As a percentage of net sales, S,G&A expenses were 57.2% for 1996, an
improvement from 58.8% for 1995. S,G&A expenses other than advertising and
consumer-directed promotion expenses, as a percentage of net sales, improved to
40.8% for 1996 compared with 43.2% for 1995 primarily as a result of reduced
general and administrative expenses, improved productivity and lower
distribution costs in 1996 compared with 1995, partially offset by additional
costs incurred in Japan in 1996 in connection with the Company's strategy of
exiting the demonstrator-assisted distribution channel. In accordance with its
business strategy, the Company increased advertising and consumer-directed
promotion expenditures 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 and consumer-directed promotion expenses
increased by 17.4% to $355.5, or 16.4% of net sales, for 1996 compared to
$302.9, or 15.6% of net sales, for 1995.

Operating income

         As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $55.8, or
38.3%, to $201.4 for 1996 from $145.6 for 1995.

Other expenses/income

         Interest expense was $133.4 for 1996 compared to $142.6 for 1995. The
reduction in interest expense is attributable to lower average outstanding
borrowings as a result of the paydown of debt under the 1996 Credit Agreement
and under the 1995 Credit Agreement with the use of proceeds from the Revlon
IPO in the 1996 period and lower interest rates under the 1996 Credit Agreement
than under the 1995 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 $6.3 for 1996 compared to $1.8 for 1995. The
increase relates primarily to the Company's continued investment in certain
emerging markets.

                                      20

Extraordinary item

         The extraordinary item resulted from the write-off recorded in the
first quarter of 1996 of deferred financing costs associated with the early
extinguishment of the 1995 Credit Agreement prior to its maturity with the net
proceeds from the Revlon IPO and borrowings under the 1996 Credit Agreement.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities was $7.1, ($9.6)
and ($52.1) for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in net cash
provided by operating activities for 1997 compared with net cash used in 1996
resulted primarily from higher operating income and improved working capital
management, partially offset by increased spending on merchandise display units
in connection with the Company's continued expansion into the self-select
distribution channel. 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.

         Net cash used for investing activities was $108.4, $65.1 and $72.5 for
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash used for investing activities for
1997, 1996 and 1995 included capital expenditures of $56.5, $58.0 and $54.3,
respectively, and $60.4, $7.1 and $21.2, respectively, used for acquisitions.
Net cash used for acquisitions in 1997 consisted primarily of cash paid to the
CCI shareholders in connection with the cash election pursuant to the Cosmetic
Center Merger and cash paid for the acquisition of a South American hair care
manufacturer and its distributor.

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $109.1, $77.9 and $125.6
for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash provided by financing
activities for 1997 included cash drawn under the 1996 Credit Agreement, the
Credit Agreement and Cosmetic Center's credit facility, partially offset by the
repayment of borrowings under the 1996 Credit Agreement, the payment of fees
and expenses related to entering into the Credit Agreement, the repayment of
borrowings under the Company's Japanese yen-denominated credit agreement (the 
"Yen Credit Agreement"), the repayment of borrowings under CCI's former credit
agreement and the redemption of the Sinking Fund Debentures. Net cash provided
by financing activities for 1996 included the net proceeds from the Revlon IPO,
cash drawn under the 1995 Credit Agreement and under the 1996 Credit Agreement,
partially offset by the repayment of borrowings under the 1995 Credit
Agreement, the payment of fees and expenses related to the 1996 Credit
Agreement and the repayment of borrowings 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 prior
to the 1995 Credit Agreement and borrowings under the 1995 Credit Agreement,
partially offset by repayments of cash drawn under those credit agreements,
repayments under the Yen Credit Agreement and payment of debt issuance costs
under the 1995 Credit Agreement.

         In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into the Credit Agreement
with a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members change from time to time.
The proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement were used for the purpose
of repaying the loans outstanding under the 1996 Credit Agreement and to redeem
the Sinking Fund Debentures and were and will be used for general corporate
purposes or, in the case of the Acquisition Facility, the financing of
acquisitions. See Note 10(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At
December 31, 1997 Products Corporation had approximately $200.0 outstanding
under the Term Loan Facilities, $102.7 outstanding under the Multi-Currency
Facility, $41.9 outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and $34.8 of issued
but undrawn letters of credit under the Special LC Facility.

         A subsidiary of Products Corporation is the borrower under the Yen
Credit Agreement, which had a principal balance of approximately Yen 4.3 
billion as of December 31, 1997 (approximately $33.3 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of December 31, 1997). In accordance with the terms of the Yen Credit 
Agreement, approximately Yen 539 million (approximately $5.2 U.S. dollar 
equivalent) was paid in January 1996 and approximately Yen 539 million 
(approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent) was paid in January 1997. In 
June 1997, Products Corporation amended and restated the Yen Credit Agreement
to extend the term to December 31, 2000 subject to earlier termination under
certain circumstances. In accordance with the terms of the Yen Credit 
Agreement, as amended and restated, approximately Yen 539 million 
(approximately $4.2 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1997) is 



                                      21
<PAGE>

due in each of March 1998, 1999 and 2000 and Yen 2.7 billion (approximately 
$20.7 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1997) is due on 
December 31, 2000.

         Products Corporation made an optional sinking fund payment of $13.5
and redeemed all of the outstanding $85.0 principal amount Sinking Fund
Debentures during 1997 with the proceeds of borrowings under the Credit
Agreement. $9.0 aggregate principal amount of previously purchased Sinking Fund
Debentures were used for the mandatory sinking fund payment due July 15, 1997.

         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, 1997.

         On February 2, 1998, Revlon Escrow issued and sold the Notes in a
private placement, with the net proceeds deposited into escrow. The proceeds
from the sale of the Notes will be used to finance the redemptions of the Old
Notes. Products Corporation delivered a redemption notice to the holders of the
Senior Subordinated Notes for the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes
on March 4, 1998, at which time Products Corporation consummated the 8 5/8%
Notes Assumption, and to the holders of the Senior Notes for the redemption of
the Senior Notes on April 1, 1998, at which time Products Corporation will
consummate the 8 1/8% Notes Assumption. On or before March 19, 1998 either
Revlon Escrow or Products Corporation is required to file a registration
statement with the Commission with respect to the Exchange Offer, which is
expected to occur on or before July 2, 1998. In connection with the early
redemptions of the Old Notes, the Company expects to record an extraordinary
loss of up to $52 in 1998. The indentures governing the 8 5/8% Notes (the "8
5/8% Notes Indenture") and the 8 1/8% Notes (the "8 1/8% Notes Indenture" and,
together with the 8 5/8% Notes Indenture, the "Notes Indentures") contain
covenants that, after the Assumption among other things, limit (i) the issuance
of additional debt and redeemable stock by Products Corporation, (ii) the
incurrence of liens, (iii) the issuance of debt and preferred stock by Products
Corporation's subsidiaries, (iv) the payment of dividends on capital stock of
Products Corporation, (v) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, (vi)
transactions with affiliates, (vii) consolidations, mergers and transfers of
all or substantially all Products Corporation assets and (viii) in the case of
the 8 5/8% Notes Indenture, the issuance of additional subordinated debt that
is senior in right of payment to the 8 5/8% Notes. The Notes Indentures also
prohibit certain restrictions on distributions from Products Corporation and
subsidiaries of Products Corporation. All of these limitations and
prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of important qualifications.

         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 Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes, the
1999 Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes currently contain, and, following
the Assumption, the Notes will contain, certain provisions that by their terms
limit Products Corporation's and/or its subsidiaries' ability to, among other
things, incur additional debt. 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 1998 will be
approximately $65, including upgrades to the Company's management information
systems. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement (see "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions-Tax Sharing Agreement"), Products Corporation may be
required to make tax sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. (which in turn may be
required to make tax sharing payments to Mafco Holdings Inc.) as if Products
Corporation were filing separate income tax returns, except that no payments
are required by Products Corporation (or 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 tax sharing payments other than in respect of state
and local income taxes. Products Corporation currently anticipates that, as a
result of net operating tax losses and prohibitions under the Credit Agreement,
no cash federal tax payments or cash payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to the
tax sharing agreement will be required for 1998.

         As of December 31, 1997, Products Corporation was party to a series of
interest rate swap agreements 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 LIBOR 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 



                                      22
<PAGE>

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 considered to be held for other than trading purposes, on December
31, 1997 and 1996, a loss of approximately $0.1 and $3.5, respectively, would
have been realized. Certain other swap agreements were terminated in 1993 for a
gain of $14.0 and were amortized over the original lives of the agreements
through 1997. The amortization of the 1993 realized gain in 1997, 1996, and
1995 was approximately $3.1, $3.2 and $3.2, respectively. Cash flow from the
agreements outstanding at December 31, 1997 was approximately break even for
1997. Products Corporation terminated these agreements in January 1998 and
realized a gain of approximately $1.6, which will be recognized upon repayment
of the hedged indebtedness.

         Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts
and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated
in foreign currencies. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, Products Corporation had
forward foreign exchange contracts denominated in various currencies of
approximately $90.1 and $62.0, respectively, and option contracts of
approximately $94.9 outstanding at December 31, 1997. Such contracts are
entered into to hedge transactions predominantly occurring within twelve
months. If Products Corporation had terminated these contracts on December 31,
1997 and 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 credit facilities and refinancings of existing indebtedness will be
sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated cash requirements for
the foreseeable future on a consolidated basis, including for debt service.
However, there can be no assurance that cash flow from operations and funds
from existing credit facilities and refinancing of existing indebtedness will
be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements on a consolidated basis.
If the Company is unable to satisfy such cash requirements, the Company could
be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying
capital expenditures, restructuring indebtedness, selling assets or operations
or seeking capital contributions or loans from Revlon, Inc. or affiliates of
the Company. There can be no assurance that any of such actions could be
effected, that they would enable the Company to continue to satisfy its capital
requirements or that they would be permitted under the terms of the Company's
various debt instruments then in effect. The terms of the Credit Agreement, the
Senior Subordinated Notes, the 1999 Notes and the Senior Notes generally
restrict and, after the Assumption, the terms of the Notes generally will
restrict, Products Corporation from paying dividends or making distributions,
except that Products Corporation is permitted 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 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 the Revlon, Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan, provided
that the aggregate amount of such dividends and distributions taken together
with any purchases of Revlon, Inc. common stock on the open market to satisfy
matching obligations under the excess savings plan may not exceed $6.0 per
annum.

displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 130 in fiscal
1998.

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, Venezuela and Mexico, that have experienced
hyperinflation in the past three years. The Company's operations in Brazil were
accounted for as operating in a hyperinflationary economy until June 30, 1997.
Effective July 1, 1997 Brazil was considered a non-hyperinflationary economy.
The impact of accounting for Brazil as a non-hyperinflationary economy was not
material to the Company's operating results. Effective January 1997, Mexico was
considered a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes. 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.

</TABLE>

     The grants made during 1997 under the Stock Plan to Messrs. Fellows,
Levin, Fox and Colomer and Ms. Dwyer were made on January 9, 1997 and consist
of non-qualified options having a term of 10 years. The options vest 25% each
year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and will become 100%
vested on the fourth anniversary of the grant date and have an exercise price
equal to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") closing price per share of
Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock on the grant date, as indicated in the
table above. During 1997, Revlon, Inc. also granted an option to purchase
300,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Plan to Mr.
Perelman, Chairman of the Executive Committee. The option will vest in full on
the fifth anniversary of the grant date and has an exercise price of $34.875,
the NYSE closing price per share of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock on
April 4, 1997, the date of the grant.

     (a)  Present values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
          model. The model as applied used the grant date of January 9, 1997.
          The model also assumes (i) a risk-free rate of return of 6.41%, 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
          options, (ii) stock price volatility of 39.34% based upon the
          volatility of the stock price of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock,
          (iii) a constant dividend rate of zero percent and (iv) that the
          options normally would be exercised on the final day of their seventh
          year after grant. No adjustments to the theoretical value were made
          to reflect the waiting period, if any, prior to vesting of the stock
          options or the transferability (or restrictions related thereto) of
          the stock options.

     (b)  Mr. Fellows served as President during all of 1997 and became Chief
          Executive Officer in January 1997. Mr. Levin served as Chairman of
          the Board during all of 1997 and as Chief Executive Officer during
          January 1997. Mr. Fox was appointed President, Strategic and
          Corporate Development, Revlon Worldwide in January 1998. Ms. Dwyer

(a)      Amounts shown represent the market value of the underlying shares of
         Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock at year-end calculated using the
         December 31, 1997 NYSE closing price per share of Class A Common Stock
         of $35 5/16 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 Revlon, Inc.'s Class A 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.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

         Each of the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive
Officers entered into an executive employment agreement with Products
Corporation (except Mr. Colomer, who entered into an executive employment
agreement with a subsidiary of Products Corporation), which became effective
upon consummation of the Revlon IPO, providing for their continued employment.
Effective January 1, 1997, Mr. Fellows' employment agreement was amended to
provide that he will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of
Products Corporation and of Revlon, Inc. at a base salary of $1,250,000 for
1997; $1,350,000 for 1998; $1,450,000 for 1999; $1,550,000 for 2000 and
$1,700,000 for 2001 and thereafter, and that management recommend to Revlon,
Inc.'s Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") that he be granted
options to purchase 170,000 shares of Class A Common Stock each year during the
term of the agreement. At any time after January 1, 2001, Products Corporation
may terminate the term of Mr. Fellows' agreement by 12 months' prior notice of
non-renewal. In connection with his assumption of management responsibility for
an affiliate, Mr. Levin and Products Corporation agreed to terminate his
employment agreement as of June 30, 1997, with Mr. Levin continuing as Chairman
of the 



                                      34
<PAGE>

Board of Products Corporation and of Revlon, Inc. (the "Levin Amendment").
Pursuant to the Levin Amendment, Mr. Levin received a base salary of $825,000
for services provided to Products Corporation and Revlon, Inc. in 1997.
Effective January 1, 1998, Mr. Colomer's employment agreement was amended to
provide that he will serve as Chairman, Revlon Professional Worldwide Strategic
Committee and Chairman, Revlon Professional International at a base salary of
not less than $700,000 for 1998 and thereafter, and that management recommend
to the Compensation Committee that he be granted options to purchase 37,000
shares of Class A Common Stock each year during the term of the agreement. Mr.
Colomer's agreement further provides that at any time on or after the second
anniversary of the effective date of his agreement, Products Corporation may
terminate the term by 12 months' prior notice of non-renewal. Mr. Fox's
agreement provides for a base salary of not less than $750,000 and that
management recommend to the Compensation Committee that Mr. Fox be granted
options to purchase 50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock each year during the
term of the agreement, and further provides that at any time on or after the
second anniversary of the effective date of his agreement, Products Corporation
may terminate the term by 12 months' prior notice of non-renewal. Effective
January 1, 1998, Mr. Fox was appointed President, Strategic and Corporate
Development, Revlon Worldwide, and Chief Executive Officer, Revlon
Technologies. Effective January 1, 1998, Ms. Dwyer's employment agreement was
amended to provide that she will serve as President of Products Corporation's
United States Consumer Products business at a base salary of $875,000 per annum
for 1998 to be increased as of January 1 of each year by not less than $75,000,
and that management recommend to the Compensation Committee that she be granted
options to purchase 75,000 shares of Class A Common Stock each year during the
term of the agreement. At any time on or after the fourth anniversary of the
effective date of her agreement, Products Corporation may terminate Ms. Dwyer's
agreement by 12 months' prior notice of non-renewal. All of the agreements
currently in effect provide for participation in the Executive Bonus Plan,
continuation of life insurance and executive medical insurance coverage in the
event of permanent disability and participation in other executive benefit
plans on a basis equivalent to senior executives of the Company generally.
Pursuant to the Levin Amendment, Mr. Levin is entitled to continued disability
insurance and life insurance as well as certain other benefits. The agreements
with Messrs. Fellows and Colomer and Ms. Dwyer provide for Company-paid
supplemental term life insurance during employment in the amount of three times
base salary, while the terms of the agreements with Mr. Levin and Mr. Fox
provide that, in lieu of any participation in Company-paid pre-retirement life
insurance coverage, Products Corporation will pay premiums and gross ups for
taxes thereon in respect of, in the case of Mr. Levin, whole life insurance
policies on his life in the amount of $14,100,000 under a split dollar
arrangement pursuant to which Products Corporation would be repaid the amount
of premiums it paid up to the cash surrender value of the policies from
insurance proceeds payable under the policies and, in the case of Mr. Fox, a
whole life insurance policy on his life in the amount of $5,000,000 under an
arrangement providing for all insurance proceeds to be paid to the designated
beneficiary under such policy. The agreements currently in effect provide that
in the event of termination of the term of the relevant executive employment
agreement by Products Corporation (otherwise than for "cause" as defined in the
employment agreements or disability) or by the executive for 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 and subject to the terms of the Executive Severance
Policy as in effect on January 1, 1997 (see "--Executive Severance Policy")
(or, at his or her election, to continued base salary payments throughout the
term in the case of Mr. Fellows and Ms. Dwyer). In addition, the employment
agreement with Mr. Fellows provides that if he remains continuously employed by
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, 1997, 1996, and 1995, Mr. Colomer had a loan
outstanding from Products Corporation's subsidiary in Spain in the amount of
25.0 million Spanish pesetas (approximately $165,050 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of December 31, 1997) 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 


                                      35
<PAGE>

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 1.4 million Spanish pesetas (approximately $9,210 U.S. dollar
equivalent as of December 31, 1997) for 1997; 2.15 million Spanish pesetas
(approximately $16,988 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1996) for 1996
and 2.25 million Spanish pesetas (approximately $18,097 U.S. dollar equivalent
as of December 31, 1995) for 1995.

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 Chief Executive Officer and the
other Named Executive Officers, other than voluntary resignation 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). Pursuant to the Executive
Severance Policy, upon meeting the conditions set forth therein, Messrs.
Fellows, Levin, Fox and Colomer 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.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

         The following table shows the estimated annual retirement benefits
payable (as of December 31, 1997) at normal retirement age (65) to a person
retiring with the indicated average compensation and years of credited service,

Revlon Employees' Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"), including amounts

(a)  The normal form of benefit for the Retirement Plan and the Pension
     Equalization Plan is a straight 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 Chief Executive Officer and the other Named 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, 1998 (rounded to full years) for
Mr. Fellows is nine years (which includes credit for prior service with
Holdings), for Mr. Fox is 14 years (which includes credit for service with
MacAndrews Holdings) and for Ms. Dwyer is four years, and as of June 30, 1997
for Mr. Levin is eight years (which includes credit for service with MacAndrews
Holdings). Pursuant to the Levin Amendment, Mr. Levin retains all benefits
under the Retirement Plan and the Pension Equalization Plan accrued by him as
of June 30, 1997. 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 Foreign Pension Plan
is designed to provide an employee with 2% of final average salary for each
year of 

                                      37


<PAGE>


credited service, up to a maximum of 30 years, reduced by the sum of all other
Company-provided retirement benefits and social security or other
government-provided retirement benefits. Credited service includes all periods
of employment with the Company 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, 1998
(rounded to full years) under the Foreign Pension Plan is 18 years (which
includes credit for service with Holdings).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         For 1997, the executive officers of Products Corporation were
compensated for services rendered to Products Corporation and its subsidiaries,
participated in benefit plans sponsored by Products Corporation and received
grants of options under the Stock Plan. Revlon, Inc.'s Compensation Committee
(of which Messrs. Drapkin and Gittis are members) performed the functions of a
Compensation Committee for Products Corporation with respect to determining
compensation of executive officers of Products Corporation.

         Products Corporation has used an airplane which is owned by a
corporation of which Messrs. Gittis and Drapkin are the sole stockholders. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions - Other."

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

         Revlon, Inc. beneficially owns all of the outstanding shares of common
stock of Products Corporation. No other director, executive officer or other
person beneficially owns any shares of Products Corporation's common stock.
Through REV Holdings, the parent of Revlon, Inc., Ronald O. Perelman, 35 East
62nd Street, New York, New York 10021, through MacAndrews Holdings, a
corporation wholly owned indirectly through Mafco Holdings (Mafco Holdings,
together with MacAndrews Holdings, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), beneficially owns
11,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of Revlon, Inc. (representing 56.6%
of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of Revlon, Inc.) and all of
the outstanding 31,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of Revlon, Inc.,
which together represent 83.1% of the outstanding shares of Revlon, Inc.'s
common stock and have approximately 97.4% of the combined voting power of the
outstanding shares of Revlon, Inc.'s common stock. All of the shares of Revlon,
Inc. common stock owned by REV Holdings are pledged by REV Holdings to secure
obligations, and shares of intermediate holding companies are or may from time
to time be pledged to secure obligations of Mafco Holdings or its affiliates.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         Revlon, Inc. beneficially owns all of the outstanding shares of common
stock of Products Corporation. MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owns shares of
Revlon, Inc.'s common stock having approximately 97.4% of the combined voting
power of the outstanding shares of Revlon, Inc.'s common stock. As a result,
MacAndrews & Forbes is able to elect the entire Board of Directors of Products
Corporation and control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Products
Corporation's stockholder, including extraordinary transactions such as mergers
or sales of all or substantially all of Products Corporation's assets.
MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly owned by Ronald O. Perelman, who is Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the Board and a Director of Products Corporation.

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 the 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 


                                      38
<PAGE>

Products Corporation. The amount reimbursed by Holdings to Products Corporation
for the Excluded Liabilities for 1997 was $0.4 million.

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
Products Corporation for such direct and indirect costs for 1997 was $1.4
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 1997 was approximately $0.3 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 (directly or through
affiliates) 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 its affiliates) and purchase services from third party
providers, such as insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf of
MacAndrews Holdings (and its affiliates) 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. The Company reimburses MacAndrews Holdings for the allocable
costs of the services purchased for or provided to the Company and its
subsidiaries and for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with the provision of such services. MacAndrews Holdings (or such affiliates)
reimburses the Company for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or
provided to MacAndrews Holdings (or such affiliates) 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 (which aggregated approximately $27.7 million as of December 31, 1997)
to support certain self-funded risks of MacAndrews Holdings and its affiliates,
including the Company, associated with such insurance coverage. The costs of
such letters of credit are allocated among, and paid by, the affiliates of
MacAndrews Holdings, including the Company, which participate in the insurance
coverage to which the letters of credit relate. The Company 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 Products Corporation to the extent amounts are drawn
under any of such letters of credit with respect to claims for which neither
Revlon, Inc. nor Products Corporation is responsible. The net amount reimbursed
by MacAndrews Holdings to the Company for the services provided under the
Reimbursement Agreements for 1997 was $4.0 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. The Company
does not intend to request services under the Reimbursement Agreements unless
their costs would be at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained
from unaffiliated third parties.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT

         Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation, for federal income tax
purposes, are included in the affiliated group of which Mafco Holdings is the
common parent, and Revlon, Inc.'s and Products Corporation's federal taxable


                                      39
<PAGE>

income and loss are included in such group's consolidated tax return filed by
Mafco Holdings. 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, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries and Mafco Holdings entered into a tax sharing agreement (as
subsequently amended, the "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. and Products Corporation or its subsidiaries) is the common parent
for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992 during which Revlon,
Inc. and Products Corporation or a subsidiary of Products Corporation is a
member of such group. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, for all taxable
periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992, Products Corporation will pay to
Revlon, Inc., which in turn will pay to Holdings, amounts equal to the taxes
that Products Corporation 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 Products Corporation), except that Products
Corporation will not be entitled to carry back any losses to taxable periods
ending prior to January 1, 1992. No payments are required by Products
Corporation or Revlon, Inc. if and to the extent Products Corporation is
prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making tax sharing payments to
Revlon, Inc. The Credit Agreement prohibits Products Corporation from making
such tax sharing payments other than in respect of state and local income
taxes. Since the payments to be made by Products Corporation under the Tax
Sharing Agreement will be determined by the amount of taxes that Products
Corporation would otherwise have to pay if it were to file separate federal,
state or local income tax returns, the Tax Sharing Agreement will benefit Mafco
Holdings to the extent Mafco Holdings can offset the taxable income generated
by Products Corporation against losses and tax credits generated by Mafco
Holdings and its other subsidiaries. There were no cash payments in respect of
federal taxes made by Products Corporation pursuant to the Tax Sharing
Agreement for 1997. Products Corporation has a liability of $0.9 million to
Revlon, Inc. in respect of federal taxes for 1997 under the Tax Sharing
Agreement.

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 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 1997 Products Corporation
rented from Holdings 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 1997 was $0.7 million.

         During 1997, a subsidiary of Products Corporation sold an inactive
subsidiary to an affiliate for approximately $1.0 million.

         Effective July 1, 1997, Holdings contributed to Products Corporation
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Bill Blass business not
already owned by Products Corporation. The contributed assets approximated the
contributed liabilities and were accounted for at historical cost in a manner
similar to that of a 


                                      40
<PAGE>

pooling of interests and, accordingly, prior period financial statements were
restated as if the contribution took place prior to the beginning of the
earliest period presented.

         In June 1997, Products Corporation borrowed from Holdings
approximately $0.5 million, representing certain amounts received by Holdings
from the sale of a brand and inventory relating thereto. Such amount is
evidenced by a noninterest bearing promissory note. Holdings agreed not to
demand payment under such note so long as any indebtedness remains outstanding
under Products Corporation's Credit Agreement.

         On February 2, 1998, Revlon Escrow issued and sold the Notes in a
private placement, with the net proceeds deposited into escrow. The proceeds
from the sale of the Notes will be used to finance the redemptions of the Old
Notes. Products Corporation delivered a redemption notice to the holders of the
Senior Subordinated Notes for the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes
on March 4, 1998, at which time Products Corporation consummated the 8-5/8%
Notes Assumption, and to the holders of the Senior Notes for the redemption of
the Senior Notes on April 1, 1998, at which time Products Corporation will
consummate the 8-1/8% Notes Assumption. On or before March 19, 1998 either
Revlon Escrow or Products Corporation is required to file a registration
statement with the Commission with respect to the Exchange Offer, which is
expected to occur on or before July 2, 1998. In connection with these matters,
Products Corporation entered into a Purchase Agreement and a Registration
Agreement with Revlon Escrow and the initial purchasers of the Notes and
entered into an agreement with Revlon Escrow pursuant to which each of Products
Corporation and Revlon Escrow agree to take all actions required under the
Purchase Agreement, the Registration Agreement and the other documents
governing the sale of the Notes, the redemptions of the Old Notes and the
Assumption within the periods prescribed in order to effect such transactions
in accordance with their terms. A nationally recognized investment banking firm
rendered its written opinion that the Assumption, upon consummation of the
redemptions of the Old Notes, and the subsequent release from escrow to
Products Corporation of any remaining net proceeds from the sale of the Notes
are fair from a financial standpoint to Products Corporation under the
indenture governing the 1999 Notes.

         During 1997, Products Corporation leased certain facilities to
MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates pursuant to occupancy agreements and
leases. These included space at Products Corporation's New York headquarters
and at Products Corporation's offices in London and Hong Kong. The rent paid by
MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates to Products Corporation for such leases
and agreements for 1997 was $3.8 million.

         Products Corporation's 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, 1997. 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 1997
was $0.6 million.

         During 1997, Products Corporation used an airplane owned by a
corporation of which Messrs. Gittis and Drapkin are the sole stockholders, for
which Products Corporation paid approximately $0.2 million.

         During 1997, Products Corporation purchased products from an
affiliate, for which it paid approximately $0.9 million.

         During 1997, Products Corporation provided licensing services to an
affiliate, for which Products Corporation has been paid approximately $0.7
million.

         An affiliate of Products Corporation assembles lipstick cases for
Products Corporation. Products Corporation paid approximately $0.9 million for
such services in 1997.

                                      41
<PAGE>

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

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Revlon Consumer Products Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revlon Consumer
Products Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's deficiency and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1997. 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 Consumer
Products Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, 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.

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation" and
together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was formed in April 1992. 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 such consumer products through
department stores and specialty stores, such as perfumeries.

         On June 24, 1992, Products Corporation 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 were retained by
Holdings.

         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, 1997 and 1996, the amounts
reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets aggregated a net
liability of $23.3 and $23.6, respectively, of which $4.9 and $5.2,
respectively, are included in accrued expenses and other and $18.4 as of both
dates is included in other long-term liabilities.

         The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Products
Corporation 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.

         Products Corporation is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Revlon,
Inc., which is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes
Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews Holdings"), a corporation wholly owned indirectly
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 AND OTHER ASSETS:

         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 and capitalized software development costs, 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.

         Included in other assets are permanent displays amounting to
approximately $107.7 and $81.8 (net of amortization) as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively, which are amortized over 3 to 5 years.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS RELATED TO BUSINESSES ACQUIRED:

         Intangible assets related to businesses acquired principally represent
goodwill, the majority of 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 $104.4 and $94.2 at December 31, 1997 and
1996, 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
own income tax returns. On June 24, 1992, Holdings, Revlon, Inc., Products
Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries and Mafco Holdings entered into a
tax sharing agreement, which is described in Notes 12 and 15.

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.

         Products Corporation accounts for benefits such as severance,
disability and health insurance provided to former employees prior to their
retirement, if estimable, on a terminal basis in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," as amended by SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," 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 Products Corporation has concluded is generally when an employee is
terminated.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

         Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. The
amounts charged against earnings in 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $29.7, $26.3 and
$22.3, 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-hyperinflationary economies are recorded as a component of stockholder's
deficiency. Foreign subsidiaries and branches operating in hyperinflationary
economies translate nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates and
include translation adjustments in the results of operations.

         Effective January 1997, the Company's operations in Mexico have been
accounted for as operating in a hyperinflationary economy. Effective July 1997,
the Company's operations in Brazil have been accounted for as is required for a
non-hyperinflationary economy. The impact of the changes in accounting for
Brazil and Mexico were not material to the Company's operating results in 1997.

SALE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK:

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

CLASSES OF STOCK:

         Products Corporation designated 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock as the
Series A Preferred Stock, of which 546 shares are outstanding and held by
Revlon, Inc. The holder of Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive
any dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation
preference of $100,000 per share before any distribution is made to the holders
of Common Stock. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock does not have any
voting rights, except as required by law. The Series A Preferred Stock may be
redeemed at any time by Products Corporation, at its option, for $100,000 per
share. However, the terms of Products Corporation's various debt agreements
currently restrict Products Corporation's ability to effect such redemption.

<PAGE>


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 14).

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 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 or until repayment of
the hedged indebtedness. Unrealized gains and losses on outstanding contracts
designated as hedges are not recognized.

         Gains and losses on contracts designated 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 foreign currency
contracts are included in income currently. Transaction gains and losses have
not been material.

2. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS

         The extraordinary item in 1997 resulted from the write-off in the
second quarter of 1997 of deferred financing costs associated with the early
extinguishment of borrowings under a prior credit agreement and costs of
approximately $6.3 in connection with the redemption of Products Corporation's
10 7/8% Sinking Fund Debentures due 2010 (the "Sinking Fund Debentures"). The
early extinguishment of borrowings under a prior credit agreement and the
redemption of the Sinking Fund Debentures were financed by the proceeds from a
new credit agreement which became effective in May 1997 (the "Credit
Agreement"). The extraordinary item in 1996 resulted from the write-off of
deferred financing costs associated with the early extinguishment of borrowings
with the net proceeds from the Revlon IPO and proceeds from a prior credit 
agreement.

3. BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION COSTS AND OTHER, NET

         Business consolidation costs and other, net in 1997 include severance
and other costs in connection with the consolidation of certain warehouse,
distribution and headquarter operations related to the Cosmetic Center Merger
(See Note 4); severance, writedowns of certain assets to their estimated net
realizable value and other related costs to rationalize factory and warehouse
operations in certain United States and International operations, partially
offset by related gains from the sales of certain factory operations of
approximately $4.3 and an approximately $12.7 settlement of a claim in the
second quarter of 1997. The business consolidation costs include $15.5 for the
termination of approximately 475 factory and administrative employees. By
December 31, 1997 the Company terminated approximately 260 employees, made cash
payments for such terminations of approximately $7.7, and made cash payments
for other business consolidation costs of approximately $5.4. As of December
31, 1997, the unpaid balance of the business consolidation accrual approximated
$11.5, which amount is included in accrued expenses and other.

4. ACQUISITIONS

         On April 25, 1997, Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc. ("PFC"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Products Corporation, and The Cosmetic Center, Inc.
("CCI") completed the merger of PFC with and into CCI (the "Cosmetic Center
Merger") with CCI (subsequent to the Cosmetic Center Merger, "Cosmetic Center")
surviving the Cosmetic Center Merger. In the Cosmetic Center Merger, Products
Corporation received in exchange for all of the capital stock of PFC newly
issued Class C Common Stock of Cosmetic Center constituting approximately 85.0%
of Cosmetic Center's outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Cosmetic Center
Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting, with PFC considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes
even though Cosmetic Center is the surviving legal entity. The deemed purchase
consideration for the acquisition was approximately $27.9 and the goodwill
associated with the Cosmetic Center Merger was approximately $10.5. The Company
recognized a gain of $6.0 resulting from the sale of subsidiary stock pursuant
to the Cosmetic Center Merger. The results of the Company for the period ended
December 31, 1997 include the results of operations of Cosmetic Center since
the effective date of the Cosmetic Center Merger.

         The following represents certain summary unaudited pro forma
information as if the Cosmetic Center Merger had occurred as of the beginning
of the respective periods presented. The summary unaudited pro forma
information below combines the actual results of the Company (including
Cosmetic Center after the Cosmetic Center Merger) and the results of CCI prior
to the Cosmetic Center Merger, excluding non-recurring business consolidation
costs directly attributable to the Cosmetic Center Merger of $4.0 in 1997, and
reflects increased amortization of goodwill, increased interest expense and
certain income tax adjustments related to the Cosmetic Center Merger that would
have been incurred had the Cosmetic Center Merger occurred at such dates. The
unaudited summary pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations of the Company had the Cosmetic Center Merger occurred at
such dates, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

</TABLE>


         (a) In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into the Credit
Agreement with a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members change from
time to time. The proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement were used
to repay the loans outstanding under the 1996 Credit Agreement and to redeem
the Sinking Fund Debentures.

         The Credit Agreement provides up to $750.0 and is comprised of five
senior secured facilities: $200.0 in two term loan facilities (the "Term Loan
Facilities"), a $300.0 multi-currency facility (the "Multi-Currency Facility"),
a $200.0 revolving acquisition facility, which may be increased to $400.0 under
certain circumstances with the consent of a majority of the lenders (the
"Acquisition Facility"), and a $50.0 special standby letter of credit facility
(the "Special LC Facility" and together with the Term Loan Facilities, 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"). At
December 31, 1997 Products Corporation had approximately $200.0 outstanding
under the Term Loan Facilities, $102.7 outstanding under the Multi-Currency
Facility, $41.9 outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and $34.8 of issued
but undrawn letters of credit under the Special LC Facility.

         The Credit Facilities (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear
interest as of December 31, 1997 at a rate equal to, at Products Corporation's
option, either (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus 1/4 of 1% (or 1.25% for Local
Loans); or (B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25%. Loans in foreign currencies bear
interest as of December 31, 1997 at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate or,
in the case of Local Loans, the local lender rate, in each case plus 1.25%. The
applicable margin is reduced (or increased, but not above 3/4 of 1% for
Alternate Base Rate Loans not constituting Local Loans and 1.75% for other
loans) in the event Products Corporation attains (or fails to attain) certain
leverage ratios. Products Corporation pays the lender a commitment fee as of
December 31, 1997 of 3/8 of 1% of the unused portion of the Credit Facilities,
subject to reduction (or increase, but not above 1/2 of 1%) based on attaining
(or failing to attain) certain leverage ratios. Under the Multi-Currency
Facility, the Company pays the lenders an administrative fee of 1/4% per annum
on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans. 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 Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
of certain additional debt, (iv) 50% of the excess cash flow of Products
Corporation and its subsidiaries (unless certain leverage ratios are attained)
and (v) certain scheduled reductions in the case of the Term Loan Facilities,
which will commence on May 31, 1998 in the aggregate amount of $1.0 annually
over the remaining life of the Credit Agreement, and in the case of the
Acquisition Facility, which will commence on 


                                     F-13
<PAGE>

December 31, 1999 in the amount of $25.0 and in the amounts of $60.0 during
2000, $90.0 during 2001 and $25.0 during 2002 (which reductions will be
proportionately increased if the Acquisition Facility is increased). The Credit
Agreement will terminate on May 30, 2002. The weighted average interest rates
on the Term Loan Facilities, the Multi-Currency Facility and the Acquisition
Facility were 7.1%, 5.4% and 5.7% per annum, respectively, as of December 31,
1997.

         The Credit Facilities, subject to certain exceptions and limitations,
are supported by guarantees from Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries,
Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation 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, 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 and its domestic
subsidiaries (other than Cosmetic Center) and (y) certain subsidiaries of
Holdings; (iv) domestic inventory and accounts receivable of (x) Products
Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries (other than Cosmetic Center) 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, such as interest rate hedging obligations, working capital lines
and a subsidiary of Products Corporation's Yen-denominated credit agreement
(the "Yen Credit Agreement").

         The Credit Agreement contains various material restrictive covenants
prohibiting Products Corporation from (i) incurring additional indebtedness or
guarantees, with certain exceptions, (ii) making dividend, tax sharing and
other payments or loans to Revlon, Inc. 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 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, provided
that the aggregate amount of such dividends and distributions taken together
with any purchases of Revlon, Inc. common stock on the market to satisfy
matching obligations under an excess savings plan may not exceed $6.0 per
annum, (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 financial covenants requiring Products Corporation to
maintain minimum interest coverage and covenants which limit the leverage ratio
of Products Corporation and the amount of capital expenditures.

         In January 1996, Products Corporation entered into a credit agreement
(the "1996 Credit Agreement"), which became effective upon consummation of the
Revlon IPO on March 5, 1996. The 1996 Credit Agreement included, among other
things, (i) a term to December 31, 2000 (subject to earlier termination in
certain circumstances), and (ii) credit facilities of $600.0 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 standby letter of
credit facility. The weighted average interest rates on the term loan facility
and multi-currency facility were 8.1% and 7.0% per annum, respectively, as of 
December 31, 1996.

         (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
Yen 4.3 billion as of December 31, 1997 (approximately $33.3 U.S. dollar 
equivalent as of December 31, 1997). In accordance with the terms of the 
Yen Credit Agreement, approximately Yen 539 million (approximately 
$5.2 U.S. dollar equivalent) was paid in January 1996 and approximately 
Yen 539 million (approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent) was paid in 
January 1997. In June 1997, Products Corporation amended and restated the 
Yen Credit Agreement to extend the term 


                                     F-14
<PAGE>

to December 31, 2000 subject to earlier termination under certain
circumstances. In accordance with the terms of the Yen Credit Agreement, as
amended and restated, approximately Yen 539 million (approximately $4.2 U.S.
dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1997) is due in each of March 1998, 1999
and 2000 and Yen 2.7 billion (approximately $20.7 U.S. dollar equivalent as of
December 31, 1997) is due on December 31, 2000. The applicable interest rate at
December 31, 1997 under the Yen Credit Agreement was the Euro-Yen rate plus
1.25% which approximated 1.9%. The interest rate at December 31, 1996, was the
Euro-Yen rate plus 2.5%, which approximated 3.1%.

         (c) The Senior Notes due 1999 (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 (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 (subject to allowable increases) 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 at 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 in the Senior Note Indenture, 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 


                                     F-15
<PAGE>

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 (subject to allowable
increases) 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 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 (See Note 19).

         (e) The Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 (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 at 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 in the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture, 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 to $5.0 per annum (subject to allowable
increases) 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 (See Note 19).

         (f) Products Corporation redeemed all the outstanding $85.0 principal
amount of Sinking Fund Debentures during 1997 with the proceeds of borrowings
under the Credit Agreement.

         (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


                                     F-16
<PAGE>

time. In February 1995, the $13.3 in notes due to Products Corporation under
the Financing Reimbursement Agreement, referred to in Note 15, was offset
against the $25.0 note and Holdings agreed not to demand payment under the
resulting $11.7 note so long as certain indebtedness remains outstanding. 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
June 1997, Products Corporation borrowed from Holdings approximately $0.5,
representing certain amounts received by Holdings from the sale of a brand and
the inventory relating thereto. At December 31, 1997 the balance of $30.9 is
evidenced by noninterest-bearing promissory notes payable to Holdings that are
subordinated to Products Corporation's obligations under the Credit Agreement.

         (h) In connection with the Cosmetic Center Merger, on April 25, 1997
Cosmetic Center entered into a loan and security agreement (the "Cosmetic
Center Facility"). Cosmetic Center paid the then outstanding balance of $14.0
on CCI's former credit agreement with borrowings under the Cosmetic Center
Facility. On April 28, 1997, Cosmetic Center used approximately $21.2 of
borrowings under the Cosmetic Center Facility to fund the cash election
associated with the Cosmetic Center Merger. The Cosmetic Center Facility, which
expires on April 30, 1999, provides up to $70.0 of revolving credit tied to a
borrowing base of 65% of Cosmetic Center's eligible inventory, as defined in
the Cosmetic Center Facility. Borrowings under the Cosmetic Center Facility are
collateralized by Cosmetic Center's accounts receivable and inventory and
proceeds therefrom. Under the Cosmetic Center Facility, Cosmetic Center may
borrow at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25% or at the
lending bank's prime rate plus 0.5%. Cosmetic Center also pays a commitment fee
equal to one-quarter of one percent per annum. Interest is payable on a monthly
basis except for interest on LIBOR rate loans with a maturity of less than
three months, which is payable at the end of the LIBOR rate loan period and
interest on LIBOR rate loans with a maturity of more than three months, which
is payable every three months. If Cosmetic Center terminates the Cosmetic
Center Facility, Cosmetic Center is obligated to pay a prepayment penalty of
$0.7 if the termination occurs before the first anniversary date of the
Cosmetic Center Facility and $0.2 if the termination occurs after the first
anniversary date. The Cosmetic Center Facility contains various restrictive
covenants and requires Cosmetic Center to maintain a minimum tangible net worth
and an interest coverage ratio. At December 31, 1997, approximately $39.0 was
outstanding under the Cosmetic Center Facility with an interest rate of 8.1%.

         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, 1997 or 1996.

         The aggregate amounts of long-term debt maturities and sinking fund
requirements (at December 31, 1997), in the years 1998 through 2002 are $5.5,
$244.4, $26.2, $278.5 and $354.6, respectively, and $555.0 thereafter.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         As of December 31, 1997, Products Corporation was party to a series of
interest rate swap agreements 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 LIBOR 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 considered to be held for other than trading purposes, on December
31, 1997 and 1996, a loss of approximately $0.1 and $3.5, respectively would
have been realized. Certain other swap agreements were terminated in 1993 for a
gain of $14.0 that was amortized over the original lives of the agreements
through 1997. The amortization of the 1993 realized gain in 1997, 1996 and 1995
was approximately $3.1, $3.2 and $3.2, respectively. Cash flow from the
agreements 


                                     F-17
<PAGE>

outstanding at December 31, 1997 was approximately break even for 1997. In
anticipation of repayment of the hedged indebtedness, Products Corporation
terminated these agreements in January 1998 and realized a gain of
approximately $1.6, which will be recognized upon repayment of the hedged
indebtedness.

         Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts
and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated
in foreign currencies. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, Products Corporation had
forward foreign exchange contracts denominated in various currencies of
approximately $90.1 and $62.0, respectively, and option contracts of
approximately $94.9 outstanding at December 31, 1997. Such contracts are
entered into to hedge transactions predominantly occurring within twelve
months. If Products Corporation had terminated these contracts on December 31,
1997 and 1996, no material gain or loss would have been realized.

         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, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $39.0 and
$37.3 more than the carrying value of $1,464.2 and $1,361.0, respectively.
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 $40.6 and $40.9 (including
amounts available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were
maintained at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included in these
amounts are $27.7 and $26.4, respectively, in standby letters of credit which
support Products Corporation's self-insurance programs (See Note 15). 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.

12. INCOME TAXES

         In June 1992, Holdings, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and certain
of its subsidiaries, and Mafco Holdings entered into a tax sharing agreement
(as subsequently amended, the "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. and Products Corporation or its subsidiaries) is the common parent
for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992 during which Revlon,
Inc. and Products Corporation or a subsidiary of Products Corporation is a
member of such group. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, for all taxable
periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992, Products Corporation will pay to
Revlon, Inc., which in turn will pay Mafco Holdings, amounts equal to the taxes
that such corporation would otherwise have to pay if they 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 Products Corporation), except that Products Corporation will
not be entitled to carry back any losses to taxable periods ending prior to
January 1, 1992. No payments are required by Products Corporation or 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 tax sharing payments
other than in respect of state and local income taxes. Since the payments to be
made by Products Corporation under the Tax Sharing Agreement will be determined
by the amount of taxes that Products Corporation would otherwise have to pay if
it were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns, the Tax
Sharing Agreement will benefit Mafco Holdings to the extent Mafco Holdings can
offset the taxable income generated by Products Corporation against losses and
tax credits generated by Mafco Holdings and its other subsidiaries. As a result
of net operating tax losses and prohibitions under the Credit Agreement there
were no federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to the Tax
Sharing Agreement for 1997, 1996 or 1995. Products Corporation has a liability
of $0.9 to Revlon, Inc. in respect of federal taxes for 1997 under the Tax
Sharing Agreement.

         Pursuant to the asset transfer agreement referred to in Note 15,
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.

         The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at January 1, 1997 was
$347.0. The valuation allowance decreased by $48.1 and $10.2 during the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and increased by $19.2 during
the year ended December 31, 1995.

         During 1997, 1996 and 1995, certain of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries used operating loss carryforwards to credit the current provision
for income taxes by $4.0, $4.7 and $15.4, respectively. Certain other foreign
operations generated losses during the years 1997, 1996 and 1995 for which the
potential tax benefit was reduced by a valuation allowance. During 1997, the
Company used domestic operating loss carryforwards to credit the current
provision for income taxes by $16.6 and the deferred provision for income taxes
by $12.0. At December 31, 1997, the Company had tax loss carryforwards of
approximately $578.9 which expire in future years as follows: 1998-$21.1;
1999-$25.3; 2000-$9.3; 2001-$15.9; and beyond-$386.4; unlimited-$120.9. The
Company will receive a benefit only to the extent it has taxable income during
the carryforward periods in the applicable 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 $18.7 at December 31, 1997, excluding those
amounts which, if remitted in the near future, would not result in significant
additional taxes under tax statutes currently in effect.

for domestic plans. For foreign plans, the weighted average discount rate was
7.1% and 7.9% for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The rate of future compensation
increases was 5.3% for 1997 and 1996 for domestic plans and was a weighted
average of 5.3% and 5.1% for 1997 and 1996, respectively, for foreign plans.
The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 9.0% for 1997 and 1996 for
domestic plans and a weighted average of 10.1% for 1997 and 10.4% for 1996 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, 1997, the additional
liability was recognized by recording an intangible asset to the extent of
unrecognized prior service costs of $1.0, a due from affiliates of $1.0 and a
charge to stockholder's deficiency of $4.5. 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 stockholder's deficiency of $12.4.

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

         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 1997 and
1996, there was a settlement loss of $0.2 and $0.3, respectively, and a
curtailment loss of $0.1 and $1.0, respectively, resulting from workforce
reductions.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS:

         The Company also has sponsored an unfunded retiree benefit plan, which
provides death benefits payable to beneficiaries of certain key employees and
former employees. Participation in this plan is limited to participants
enrolled as of December 31, 1993. The Company also administers a medical
insurance plan on behalf of Holdings, the cost of which has been apportioned to
Holdings. Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for each of the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 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, 1997 and 1996,
the portion of accumulated benefit obligation attributable to retirees was $7.3
and $6.9, respectively, and to other fully eligible participants, $1.4 and
$1.3, respectively. The amount of unrecognized gain at December 31, 1997 and
1996 was $1.9 and $1.2, respectively. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the
accrued postretirement benefit obligation recorded on the Company's
Consolidated Balance Sheets was $10.6 and $9.4, respectively. Of these amounts,
$1.9 and $2.0 was attributable to Holdings and was recorded as a receivable
from affiliates at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The weighted
average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation at September 30, 1997 and 1996 was 7.75%.

14. STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

         At December 31, 1997 and 1996, Revlon, Inc. had a stock-based
compensation plan (the "Plan"), which is described below. Products Corporation
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, Products
Corporation's net income for 1997 of $44.8 ($19.0 in 1996)would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts of $32.5 for 1997 ($15.8 in 1996). The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming no dividend yield, expected
volatility of approximately 39% in 1997 and 31% in 1996; weighted average
risk-free interest rate of 6.54% in 1997 and 5.99% in 1996; and a seven year
expected average life for the Plan's options issued in 1997 and 1996. 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). Primarily all other option grants, including
options granted to certain executive officers in 1997 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. During 1997, Revlon,
Inc. granted to Mr. Perelman, Chairman of the Executive Committee, an option to
purchase 300,000 shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock, which will vest
in full on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. At December 31, 1997 there
were 98,450 options exercisable under the Plan. At December 31, 1996 there were
no options exercisable under the Plan.

         A summary of the status of the Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996
and changes during the years then ended is presented below:

15. 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 the 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 1997, 1996
and 1995 were $0.4, $1.4 and $4.0, respectively.

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 1997, 1996 and 1995
were $1.4, $5.1 and $8.6, 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 1997,
1996 and 1995 were approximately $0.3, $0.6 and $1.7, 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 (directly or through
affiliates) 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 its affiliates) and purchase services from third party
providers, such as insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf of
MacAndrews Holdings (and its affiliates) to the extent requested by MacAndrews
Holdings, provided that in each case the performance of such 


                                     F-24
<PAGE>

services does not cause an unreasonable burden to MacAndrews Holdings or
Products Corporation, as the case may be. The Company reimburses MacAndrews
Holdings for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or provided to
the Company and its subsidiaries and for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews Holdings
(or such affiliates) reimburses the Company for the allocable costs of the
services purchased for or provided to MacAndrews Holdings (or such affiliates)
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 $27.7 as of December 31, 1997) to support certain self-funded
risks of MacAndrews Holdings and its affiliates, including the Company,
associated with such insurance coverage. The costs of such letters of credit
are allocated among, and paid by, the affiliates of MacAndrews Holdings,
including the Company, which participate in the insurance coverage to which the
letters of credit relate. The Company 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
Products Corporation to the extent amounts are drawn under any of such letters
of credit with respect to claims for which neither Revlon, Inc. nor Products
Corporation is responsible. The net amounts reimbursed by MacAndrews Holdings
to the Company for the services provided under the Reimbursement Agreements for
1997, 1996 and 1995 were $4.0, $2.2 and $3.0, 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 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.
The Company does not intend to request services under the Reimbursement
Agreements unless their costs would be at least as favorable to the Company as
could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT

         Holdings, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries and Mafco Holdings are parties to the Tax Sharing Agreement, which
is described in Note 12. Since payments to be made under the Tax Sharing
Agreement will be determined by the amount of taxes that Products Corporation
would otherwise have to pay if it were to file separate federal, state or local
income tax returns, the Tax Sharing Agreement will benefit Mafco Holdings to
the extent Mafco Holdings can offset the taxable income generated by Products
Corporation 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,
which expired on June 30, 1996, 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 certain 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 credit agreement then in effect. 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 credit agreement then
in effect (which portion was approximately $4.7 and was 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 credit agreement then in
effect 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 from
Holdings in 1996, under the Financing Reimbursement Agreement was offset
against an $11.7 demand note payable by Products Corporation to Holdings.

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 1997, 1996 and 1995 Products
Corporation rented from Holdings 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 1997, 1996
and 1995 was $0.7, $1.1 and $1.2, respectively.

         During 1997, a subsidiary of Products Corporation sold an inactive
subsidiary to an affiliate for approximately $1.0.

         Effective July 1, 1997, Holdings contributed to Products Corporation
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Bill Blass business not
already owned by Products Corporation. The contributed assets approximated the
contributed liabilities and were accounted for at historical cost in a manner
similar to that of a pooling of interests and, accordingly, prior period
financial statements were restated as if the contribution took place


                                     F-26
<PAGE>

prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented.

         In the fourth quarter of 1996, a subsidiary of Products Corporation
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.

         Products Corporation leases certain facilities to MacAndrews & Forbes
or its affiliates pursuant to occupancy agreements and leases. These included
space at Products Corporation's New York headquarters and at Products
Corporation's offices in London during 1997, 1996 and 1995; in Tokyo during
1996 and 1995 and in Hong Kong during 1997. The rent paid by MacAndrews &
Forbes or its affiliates to Products Corporation for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
$3.8, $4.6 and $5.3, respectively.

         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 1997, Products Corporation
borrowed from Holdings approximately $0.5, representing certain amounts
received by Holdings from the sale of a brand and inventory relating thereto.
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, 1997, 1996 or 1995. 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 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $0.6, $0.5 and $1.2, 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 and
1995, 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 and $0.2 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         During 1997, 1996 and 1995, Products Corporation used an airplane

lease terms in excess of one year from December 31, 1997 aggregated $201.1;
such commitments for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 1997 are

Corporation substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Bill Blass
business not already owned by Products Corporation. The contributed assets
approximated the contributed liabilities and were accounted for at historical
cost in a manner similar to that of a pooling of interests and, accordingly,
prior period financial statements were restated as if the contribution took
place prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented.

18. GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS

         The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable
segment. See Note 1 for a brief description of the Company's business. As of
December 31, 1997, the Company had operations established in 26 countries
outside of the United States 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's operations in Brazil have
accounted for approximately 5.5%, 6.1% and 6.1% of the Company's net sales for
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net sales by geographic area are presented
by attributing revenues from external customers on the basis of where the
products are sold. During 1996, one customer and its affiliates accounted for
approximately 10.1% of the Company's consolidated net sales. This data is
presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which the Company has retroactively
adopted for all periods presented.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

         On February 2, 1998, an affiliate of the Company, Revlon Escrow Corp.,
issued notes in the aggregate amount of $900.0 (the "Notes"). The net proceeds
of $880 (net of discounts, fees and expenses) were deposited with an escrow
agent and substantially all of such proceeds will be used to fund the
redemptions by Products Corporation of its Senior Subordinated Notes and the
Senior Notes, including prepayment premiums for early redemptions. Products
Corporation will assume the obligations of Revlon Escrow Corp. under the Notes
upon consummation of such redemptions. In connection with the early redemptions
of the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company expects to
record an extraordinary loss of up to $52 in 1998.
