     earned under the Pool in fiscal 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 totaled
     approximately $356,000, $614,000, $60,000 and $175,000, respectively.

            In connection with the Company's acquisition of Go-Gro Industries,
     Limited ("Go-Gro") the Company entered into an employment agreement with
     the previous majority stockholder of Go-Gro, Wai Check Lau, under which
     such individual serves as President of Go-Gro. The term of the employment
     agreement is from July 30, 1994 to July 30, 1999, renewable for a
     successive five-year period under terms mutually acceptable to the Company
     and the employee. The agreement provides for annual compensation of
     $180,000.

             On April 1, 1992, the Company entered into an employment agreement
     with Ms. Janet Ailstock for a two year term. The officer received a base
     annual salary of $100,000 and an annual award of 5,000 shares of Company
     common stock, with annual increases of the base salary of the greater of 5%
     or the percentage increase in the U.S. Consumer Price Index. On April 1,
     1994 and 1996, the term of the employment agreement was extended for
     additional two year terms ending March 31, 1998.

             The employment agreements with Messrs. Hersh, Rappaport, Stewart,
     Katz and Ms. Ailstock each provide that, if the employee terminates his
     employment without good reason or is terminated for cause, such employee is
     subject to a non-competition provision for a three year period. In the
     event of a change of control of the Company preceded, accompanied or
     followed (within specified time limits) by a reduction of the employee's
     compensation or a diminution of his status or responsibilities, the
     employee is entitled to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum
     distribution of compensation in an amount equal to three times his then
     current effective yearly compensation, including, but not limited to,
     salary and bonuses. If the employee elects to so terminate, he will have
     the right to sell any shares of the Company's capital stock then owned to
     the Company at their fair market value and the non-competitive provisions
     contained in the employment agreements shall terminate. Payments under the
     agreements by the Company after a change of control are, however, limited
     to the amount which would be deductible by the Company under the Internal
     Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A "change of control" is deemed to occur
     upon (i) the acquisition of 21% of the Company's voting power, (ii) the
     election of three or more directors without approval of the Incumbent
     Directors, as defined, within a twelve-month period, or (iii) the Incumbent
     Directors becoming less than a majority of the Board of Directors of the
     Company or its successor. The agreements also provide for payments of three
     times annual compensation if the employment is terminated without cause by
     the Company or for good reason by the employee.

            The Company pays its proportional share of a reverse split-dollar
     life insurance policy on Mr. Rappaport and Mr. Stewart's life. In the event
     of either of Mr. Rappaport's or Mr. Stewart's death during the term of
     their employment agreements, the Company would receive $1,000,000.

     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

            On June 4, 1991, the Company was served with a copy of the Complaint
     in a matter captioned JOHN H. BROWDER VS. CATALINA LIGHTING, INC., ROBERT
     HERSH, DEAN S. RAPPAPORT AND HENRY GAYER, Case No. 91-23683, in the Circuit
     Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Dade County, Florida. The
     Company and the directors believe that the Complaint is totally without
     merit and are vigorously defending the same. The Company has agreed to
     indemnify each of the individual directors against liabilities incurred in
     connection with such proceeding to the extent permitted by Florida law and
     the Company may advance expenses to the individual directors arising out of
     such proceeding.

            On February 23, 1993, Dana Lighting (now Catalina Industries), a
     subsidiary of the Company, was served with a copy of the Complaint in a
     matter captioned HOLMES PRODUCTS CORPORATION VS. DANA LIGHTING, INC. AND
     NATHAN KATZ, Case No. 93-0249 in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of
     Massachusetts. The Company and the directors believe that the Complaint is
     totally without merit and are vigorously defending the same. The Company
     has agreed to indemnify each of the individual directors and Mr. Katz
     against liabilities incurred in connection with such proceeding to the
     extent permitted by Florida law and the Company may advance expenses to the
     individual officers arising out of such proceeding.

     COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

            Salaried employees of the Company do not receive any additional
     compensation for serving as a director or committee member. Non-employee
     Directors receive an annual retainer of $14,000, plus $1,000 per Board
     meeting and Committee meeting attended, and an option to purchase 2,000
     shares of Common Stock under the Company's Non-Employee Directors Stock
     Option Plan ("Directors Plan") as compensation for services rendered. Mr.
     Wachs and Mr. Burrow are reimbursed for their travel expenses to the
     meetings.

            Under the Directors Plan, options are granted to purchase 2,000
     shares of the Company's Common Stock for each year served. Options are
     granted at the annual meeting date which coincides with their election or
     appointment or, if the date of appointment or election is between annual
     meetings, at the next subsequent annual meeting. The exercise price is the
     fair market value of the Common Stock on the date granted, and options are
     granted for a term of ten years. An option may not be exercised before the
     next subsequent annual meeting of stockholders following the date of the
     grant. Options are exercisable during the term only by the non-employee
     Directors and are transferable only by will or the laws of descent and
     distribution.

         Robert Wachs and Associates, of which Robert Wachs is the President,
     received commissions as a sales representative of approximately $11,000
     during fiscal 1996.

     NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS

            The Company from time to time issues non-qualified stock options to
     purchase shares of Common Stock to its officers. All such options are
     issued pursuant to individual stock option agreements and bear an exercise
     price equal to or in excess of the market value of the Common Stock on the
     date of grant. The period during which such options may be exercised
     varies, depending on the optionee and the circumstances under which the
     options have been granted. The exercise price of such options may be paid
     in cash or, under certain circumstances, by delivery of shares of Common
     Stock or by a combination of the foregoing. No non-qualified stock options
     were granted to directors or named executive officers during fiscal 1996.

     COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

            The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of
     Leonard Sokolow and Ryan Burrow. Messrs. Burrow and Sokolow are independent
     directors of the Company, and neither is an officer of the Company.

     FILINGS UNDER SECTION 16(A)

            Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
     Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent
     of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports
     of ownership and changes in ownership of such securities with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange.
     Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners are
     required by applicable regulations to furnish the Company with copies of
     all Section 16(a) forms they file. The Company is not aware of any
     beneficial owner of more than ten percent of its Common Stock.

            During August 1996, the daughter of Robert Wachs, a Director of the
     Company, purchased 1,000 shares. Mr. Wachs notified the Company that he
     failed to timely file one report on Form 4 concerning the purchase of such
     shares. Such report was filed on December 17, 1996 which was due September
     10, 1996. Based solely upon review of the copies of the forms furnished to
     the Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that
     no Form 5's were required, the Company believes that, except for Mr. Wachs'
     Form 4, all filing requirements applicable to its officers and directors
     were complied with during the 1996 fiscal year.

     ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

             The Company leased its two facilities located in Massachusetts from
     entities in which an officer and a former officer had an ownership
     interest. One of the leases expired in 1996 and the other one is on a
     month-to-month basis. Rent expense related to these leases was
     approximately $530,000, $521,000 and $512,000 for the years ended September
     30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

             The Company leases its Hong Kong office from a company owned by the
     President and former majority stockholder of Go Gro. The lease expires in
     August 1997 but may be extended for an additional two years. Rent expense
     related to this lease was $258,000, $237,000 and $39,000 for the years
     ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

              During the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, Go-Gro
     purchased $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in raw materials
     from an affiliate which is fifty percent owned by the Company and which
     includes the President of Go-Gro as one of its directors.

              In January 1994, the Company delivered 32,644 restricted common
     shares as consideration for the one-year extension, from May 1993 to May
     1994, of its non-compete contract with a former Chairman and Chief
     Executive Officer of the Company. In January 1994, the Company elected to
     extend the term of this non-compete agreement for the third year of its
     three-year option, from May 1994 to May 1995. The consideration for the
     one-year extension was satisfied in May 1994 by the issuance of 23,112
     restricted shares of the Company's common stock.
