ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation" and together
with its subsidiaries, the "Company") operates in a single segment with
many different products, which includemanufactures, markets and sells an
extensive array of glamorous, exciting
and innovative cosmetics and skin care, fragrance,fragrances and personal care
products ("consumer products"), and hair and nail care products principally for use in
and resale by professional salons ("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, ULTIMA II and JEANNE GATINEAU and NATURAL HONEY in skin care;
CHARLIE and FIRE & ICE in fragrances; and FLEX, OUTRAGEOUS, MITCHUM, COLORSTAY,
COLORSILK, AFRICAN PRIDE, JEAN NATE, PLUSBELLE, BOZZANO and COLORAMA in personal care products; and ROUX
FANCI-FULL, REALISTIC, CREME OF NATURE, CREATIVE NAIL DESIGN SYSTEMS and
AMERICAN CREW in professional
products. To further strengthen its consumer brand franchises, the Company
markets each core brand with a distinct and uniform global image, including
packaging and advertising, while retaining the flexibility to tailor products
to local and regional preferences.
The Company was founded by Charles Revson, who revolutionized the
cosmetics industry by introducing nail enamels matched to lipsticks in fashion
colors 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 lip makeup and nail enamel
(which the Company has occupied for the past 2223 years), with the number one and
twotop three
selling brands of lip makeup for 1998. Propelled by the success of its new
product launches and its existing product lines, the1999. The REVLON brand captured in 1996 and
continued to hold in 19981999 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 21.2%19.7% for 1998.1999.
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 includes
independent drug stores and chain drug stores (such as Walgreens, CVS, Eckerd
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.
On November 6, 1998, Products Corporation issued and sold in a private
placement $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes due 2006
(the "9% Notes"), receiving net proceeds of $247.2 million. Products Corporation
intends to use $200.0 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the 9% Notes
to refinance Products Corporation's 9 1/2% Senior Notes due 1999 (the "1999
Notes"), including through open market purchases. Products Corporation intends
to use the balance of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including
to temporarily reduce indebtedness under the working capital lines under the
Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined). Pending the refinancing of the 1999
Notes, such net proceeds will be retained by Products Corporation and a portion
of such proceeds will be used to temporarily reduce indebtedness under the
working capital lines under the Credit Agreement and under other short-term
facilities. On February 24, 1999, substantially all of the 9% Notes were
exchanged for registered notes with substantially identical terms (the 9% Notes
and the registered exchange notes shall each be referred to as the "9% Notes").
2
During 1998, Products Corporation completed the disposition of its
approximately 85% equity interest in The Cosmetic Center, Inc. ("Cosmetic
Center"), along with certain amounts due from Cosmetic Center to Products
Corporation for working capital and inventory, to a newly formed limited
partnership controlled by an unrelated third party. Products Corporation
received a minority limited partnership interest in the limited partnership as
consideration for the disposition. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on
disposal of $47.7 million during 1998.
In the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company committed to a restructuring
plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real estate, realign
and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing
operations and exit certain product lines. As a result, the Company recognized a
net charge of $42.9 million comprised of $26.6 million of employee severance and
termination benefits for 720 people worldwide, $14.9 million of costs to exit
excess leased real estate primarily in the United States and $2.7 million of
other costs (included in cost of sales) incurred to exit certain product lines
outside the United States, partially offset by a gain of $1.3 million for the
sale of a factory outside the United States. In the third quarter of 1998 the
Company recognized a gain of approximately $7.1 million for the sale of the wigs
and hairpieces portion of its business in the United States.
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, all references
to the Company or Revlon 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 and are therefore subject to some degree of variance.
In the United States, the self-select distribution channel includes
independent drug stores and chain drug stores (such as Walgreens, CVS, Eckerds,
Rite Aid and Longs), mass volume retailers (such as Wal-Mart, Target Stores and
Kmart) and supermarkets and combination supermarket/drug stores (such as
Albertson's, Kroger and H.E. Butt). 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.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On October 1, 1999 Revlon, Inc. announced that it had completed its review
of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value and had decided to
pursue the sale of its worldwide professional products line and its non-core
Latin American brands Colorama, Juvena, Bozzano and Plusbelle. On March 30,
2000, the Company completed the disposition of its worldwide professional
products line, including professional hair care products for use in and resale
by professional salons, ethnic hair and personal care products, Natural Honey
skin care and certain regional toiletries brands. Proceeds from the sale were
$315 million in cash, (before adjustments), plus $10 million in contingent
consideration based upon the business' future performance. A portion of the net
proceeds of approximately $150.3 million was used to reduce the aggregate
commitment under the Credit Agreement (as described below) and the balance will
be available for general corporate purposes.
On March 28, 2000, Products Corporation executed a definitive agreement
for the sale of its non-core Plusbelle brand in Argentina for $46.5 million in
cash. The closing of the sale, which is expected to occur during the second
quarter, is subject to various conditions. A portion of the net proceeds of the
sale will be used to reduce the aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement
and the balance will be available for general corporate purposes.
2
The Company continues to pursue the sale of its non-core Colorama, Juvena
and Bozzano brands in Brazil and is in discussions with prospective purchasers.
If a transaction is consummated, a portion of the net proceeds will be applied
to reduce the aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement and the balance
will be available for general corporate purposes.
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a restructuring
plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real estate, realign
and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing
operations and exit certain product lines. During 1999, the Company recorded a
net charge of $20.5 million relating to such restructuring plan, principally
for employee severance and other personnel benefits. Additionally, the Company
adopted a plan to exit a non-core business as to which a charge of $1.6 million
was recorded.
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company continued to re-evaluate
its organizational structure and implemented a new restructuring plan
principally at its New York headquarters and New Jersey locations resulting in
a charge of $18.1 million principally for employee severance. As part of this
restructuring plan, the Company reduced personnel and consolidated excess real
estate. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company also recorded a $22.0
million charge in connection with executive separation costs. The Company will
continue to evaluate its organizational structure, which may result in
additional restructuring charges in the future.

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 has
dedicated teams assigned to significant accounts, and has provided retail
accounts with a designated customer service representative. As a result of

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Net sales were $1,861.3 and $2,252.2 for 1999 and 1998, respectively, a
decrease of $390.9, or 17.4% on a reported basis (a decrease of 14.9% on a
constant U.S. dollar basis).
United States. Net sales in the United States were $1,046.2 for 1999
compared with $1,343.7 for 1998, a decrease of $297.5, or 22.1%. Net sales for
1999 were adversely affected by lower than anticipated share growth,
competitive activities and a reduction in the level of Company shipments to
certain retailers to achieve such retailers' new lower inventory target levels.
The reduction of retailers' target inventory levels will continue and is
expected to adversely impact sales through the first half of 2000.
New products in 1999 included EVERYLASH mascara, MOISTURESTAY SHEER LIP
COLOR, REVLON AGE DEFYING compact makeup, WET/DRY EYE SHADOW, ALMAY STAY SMOOTH
lip makeup and mascara, ALMAY FOUNDATION with Skin Stays Clean attributes,
products in the ALMAY ONE COAT collection, MITCHUM COOL DRY antiperspirant and
COLORSTAY LIQUID LIP.
International. Net sales outside the United States were $815.1 for 1999
compared with $908.5 for 1998, a decrease of $93.4, or 10.3%, on a reported
basis (a decrease of 3.7% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). Net sales for 1999
on a constant U.S. dollar basis were affected by unfavorable economic
conditions in certain markets outside the U.S., principally Brazil, which
restrained consumer and trade demand, increased competitive activity and lower
sales in certain markets, principally the United Kingdom and Canada. The
decrease in net sales for 1999 on a reported basis also reflects the
unfavorable effect on sales of a stronger U.S. dollar against certain foreign
currencies, particularly the Brazilian real. Sales outside the United States
are divided into three geographic regions. In Europe, which comprises Europe,
the Middle East and Africa, net sales decreased by 9.2% on a reported basis to
$369.5 for 1999 as compared with 1998 (a decrease of 4.3% on a constant U.S.
dollar basis). In the Western Hemisphere, which comprises Canada, Mexico,
Central America, South America and Puerto Rico, net sales decreased by 15.4% on
a reported basis to $303.1 for 1999 as compared with 1998 (a decrease of 3.0%
on a constant U.S. dollar basis). The Company's operations in Brazil are
significant. In Brazil, net sales were $76.1 on a reported basis for 1999
compared with $122.5 for 1998, a decrease of $46.4, or 37.9% (a decrease of
3.1% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). On a reported basis, net sales in Brazil
were adversely affected by the stronger U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real,
unfavorable economic conditions and increased competitive activities. In the
Far East, net sales decreased by 0.7% on a reported basis to $142.5 for 1999 as
compared with 1998 (a decrease of 4.0% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). Net
sales outside the United States, including, without limitation, in Brazil, may
be adversely affected by generally weak economic conditions, political and
economic uncertainties, including, without limitation, currency fluctuations
and competitive activities in certain markets.
Cost of sales
As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 36.9% for 1999 compared
with 34.0% for 1998. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
for 1999 compared with 1998 is due to changes in product mix, the effect of
weaker local currencies on the cost of imported purchases by subsidiaries
outside the U.S. and the effect of lower net sales.
SG&A expenses
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 72.3% ($1,346.4) for 1999
compared with 58.9% ($1,327.3) for 1998. The increase in SG&A expenses as a
percentage of net sales is due in large measure to the reduced levels of sales
coupled with the Company's decision to maintain throughout the second half of
1999 brand support intended to drive consumer purchasing and facilitate the
inventory reduction process by U.S. retailers referred to earlier. In addition,
SG&A increased as a result of executive separation costs of $22.0, which were
partially offset by savings from the Company's restructuring plan from 1998.
14
Business consolidation costs and other, net
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a restructuring
plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real estate, realign
and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing
operations and exit certain product lines. During 1999, the Company continued
to implement such restructuring plan for which it recorded a charge of $20.5
for employee severance and other personnel benefits, costs associated with the
exit from leased facilities as well as other costs. Also in 1999, the Company
consummated an exit from a non-core business, resulting in an additional charge
of $1.6, which is included in business consolidation costs and other, net.
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company continued to re-evaluate
its organizational structure and implemented a new restructuring plan
principally at its New York headquarters and New Jersey locations resulting in
a charge of $18.1 principally for employee severance. As part of this new
restructuring plan, the Company reduced personnel and consolidated excess real
estate. As a result of the new restructuring plan, executive separation costs,
and the elimination of open positions, the Company anticipates annual savings
of between $45 and $50, beginning in 2000.
Operating (loss) income
As a result of the foregoing, operating (loss) for 1999 was $(211.4)
compared to operating income of $126.1 for 1998.
Other expenses/(income)
Interest expense was $147.9 for 1999 compared with $137.9 for 1998. The
increase in interest expense for 1999 as compared with 1998 is due to higher
average outstanding debt and higher interest rates under the Credit Agreement,
partially offset by lower interest rates as a result of the refinancings in
1998.
Foreign currency (gains) losses, net, were $(0.5) for 1999 compared with
$4.6 in 1998. Foreign currency losses, net for 1998 consisted primarily of
losses in several markets in Latin America.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $9.1 for 1999 compared with $5.0 for
1998.
Discontinued operations
During 1998, the Company completed the disposition of its approximately
85% ownership interest in The Cosmetic Center, Inc. ("CCI") and, accordingly,
the results of operations of CCI had been reported as discontinued operations
along with the loss on disposal of such operations.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
NET SALES
Net sales were $2,252.2 and $2,238.6 for 1998 and 1997, respectively, an
increase of $13.6, or 0.6% (or 2.7% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).
United States. Net sales in the United States were $1,338.5$1,343.7 for 1998
compared to $1,300.2with $1,304.9 for 1997, an increase of $38.3,$38.8, or 2.9%3.0%. The increase in
net sales in 1998 reflects improvements in net sales of products in the
Company's ALMAY and ULTIMA franchises and expansion of certain of the Company's
professional product lines including an acquisition. For the first half of
1998, net sales for the Company's REVLON franchise increased as compared to the
first half of 1997 as a result of continued consumer acceptance of new product
offerings and general improvement in consumer demand for the Company's color
cosmetics. Beginning in the third quarter of 1998, such sales were adversely
affected by a slowdown in the rate of growth in the mass market color cosmetics
category and a leveling of market share. Additionally, net sales for 1998 were
impacted by reduced purchases by some retailers, particularly chain drugstores,drug stores,
resulting from improved inventory management through systems upgrades and
inventory reductions following several recent business combinations. The Company
expects retail inventory balancing and reductions to continue to affect sales in
1999.
REVLON brand color cosmetics continued as the number one brand in dollar
market share in the U.S. self-select distribution channel. New product
introductions (including, in 1998, certain products launched during 1997)
generated incremental net sales in 1998, principally as a result of launches of
TOP SPEED nail enamel, MOISTURESTAY lip makeup, products in the NEW COMPLEXION
line, COLORSTAY shampoo, ALMAY STAY SMOOTH lip makeup, products in the ALMAY
AMAZING collection, products in the ALMAY ONE COAT collection, products in the
ULTIMA II BEAUTIFUL NUTRIENT and ULTIMA II FULL MOISTURE lipcolor lines and
ULTIMA II GLOWTION skin brighteners.
International. Net sales outside the United States were $913.7$908.5 for 1998
compared to $938.4with $933.7 for 1997, a decrease of $24.7,$25.2, or 2.6%2.7%, on a reported
basis (an increase of 2.4% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). The increase in
net sales for 1998 on a constant dollar basis reflects the benefits of
increased distribution, including acquisitions, and successful new product
introductions in several markets including MOISTURESTAY lip makeup and TOP
SPEED nail enamel. The decrease in net sales for 1998 on a reported basis
reflects the unfavorable effect on sales of a stronger U.S. dollar against most
foreign currencies and unfavorable economic conditions in several international
markets. These unfavorable economic conditions restrained consumer and trade
demand outside the U.S., particularly in South America and the Far East, as
well as Russia and other developing economies. Sales outside the United States
are divided into three geographic regions. In Europe, which is comprised ofcomprises Europe,
the Middle East and Africa, net sales decreased by 2.6% on a reported basis to
$406.9 for 1998 as compared towith 1997 (an increase of 0.5% on a constant U.S.
dollar basis). In the Western Hemisphere, which is comprised ofcomprises Canada, Mexico,
Central America, South America and Puerto Rico, net sales increased by 4.8%4.7% on
a reported basis to $363.3$358.1 for 1998 as compared towith 1997 (an increase of 9.5%
on a constant U.S. dollar basis). The Company's operations in Brazil are
significant. In Brazil, net sales were $122.5 on a reported basis for 1998
compared towith $130.9 for 1997, a decrease of $8.4, or 6.4% (an increase of 0.5%
on a constant U.S. dollar basis). On a reported basis, net sales in Brazil were
adversely affected by the stronger U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real. In
the Far East, net sales decreased by 17.5% on a reported basis to $143.5 for
1998 as compared towith 1997 (a decrease of 7.4% on a constant U.S. dollar
basis). Net sales outside the United States, including without limitation in
Brazil, were and may continue to
be, adversely impacted by generally weak economic conditions,
political and economic uncertainties, including without limitation currency
fluctuations, and competitive activities in certain markets.
15
Cost of sales
As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 34.0% for 1998 compared
towith 33.2% for 1997. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
for 1998 compared towith 1997 is due to changes in product mix, the effect of
weaker local currencies on the cost of imported purchases, the effect of lower
net sales in the second half of 1998 and the inclusion of $2.7 of other costs
incurred to exit certain product lines outside the United States in connection
with the restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 1998. These factors were
partially offset by the benefits of more efficient global production and
purchasing.
16
SG&A expenses
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 58.9% for 1998 compared
towith 57.0% for 1997. SG&A expenses other than advertising and consumer-directed
promotion expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 40.1% for 1998 compared
towith 39.2% for 1997. The increase in SG&A expenses other than advertising and
consumer-directed promotion expenses as a percentage of net sales was due
primarily to the effects of lower than expected sales. The Company's
advertising and consumer-directed promotion expenditures were incurred to
support existing product lines, new product launches and increased
distribution. Advertising and consumer-directed promotion expenses as a
percentage of net sales were 18.8%, or $422.9, for 1998 compared to 17.8%, or
$397.4, for 1997.
Business consolidation costs and other, net
In the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company committed to a restructuring
plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real estate, realign
and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing
operations and exit certain product lines. As a result, the Company recognized
a net charge of $42.9 comprisedconsisting of $26.6 of employee severance and termination
benefits for 720 sales, marketing, administrative, factory and distribution
employees worldwide, $14.9 of costs to exit excess leased real estate primarily
in the United States and $2.7 of other costs described above in cost of sales,
partially offset by a gain of $1.3 for the sale of a factory outside the United
States.
In the third quarter of 1998 the Company recognized a gain of
approximately $7.1 for the sale of the wigs and hairpieces portion of its
business in the United States.
In 1997 the Company incurred business consolidation costs of $20.6 in
connection with the implementation of its business strategy to rationalize
factory operations. These costs primarily included severance for 415 factory
and administrative employees and other costs related to the rationalization of
certain factory and warehouse operations worldwide. Such costs were partially
offset by an approximately $12.7 settlement of a claim and related gains of
approximately $4.3 for the sales of certain factory operations outside the
United States.
Operating income
As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased by $90.0, or
41.6%, to $126.1 for 1998 from $216.1 for 1997.
Other expenses/income
Interest expense was $137.9 for 1998 compared towith $133.7 for 1997. The
increase in interest expense for 1998 as compared towith 1997 is due to higher
average outstanding borrowings partially offset by lower interest rates.
Foreign currency losses, net, were $4.6 for 1998 compared to $6.4 for
1997. The foreign currency losses for 1998 were comprisedconsisted primarily of losses in
several markets in Latin America. The losses in 1997 were comprisedconsisted primarily of
losses in several markets in Europe and the Far East.
1617
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $5.0 and $9.3 for 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower taxable income
outside the United States in 1998.
Discontinued operations
During 1998, the Company completed the disposition of its approximately
85% equity interest in Cosmetic Center.CCI. In connection with such transaction, the Company
recorded a loss on disposal of $47.7 during 1998. (Loss) income from
discontinued operations was $(16.5) (excluding the $47.7 loss on disposal) and
$0.7 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The 1997 period includes a $6.0
non-recurring gain resulting from the merger of Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics,
Inc., then a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into Cosmetic
CenterCCI on April
25, 1997, partially offset by related business consolidation costs of $4.0. The
1998 period includes the Company's share of a non-recurring charge of $10.5
taken by Cosmetic CenterCCI primarily related to inventory and severance.
Extraordinary items
The extraordinary itemloss of $51.7 in 1998 resulted primarily from the
write-off of deferred financing costs and payment of call premiums associated
with the redemption of Products Corporation's 9 3/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the
"Senior Notes") and Products Corporation's 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2003.2003 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"). The extraordinary itemloss in 1997
resulted from the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the
extinguishment of borrowings under the 1996 Credit
Agreement (as hereinafter defined)credit agreement in effect at that time
prior to maturity with proceeds from the 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").
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
NET SALES
Net sales were $2,238.6 and $2,092.1 for 1997 and 1996, respectively,
an increase of $146.5, or 7.0% or 9.5% on a constant U.S. dollar basis,
primarily as a result of successful new product introductions worldwide,
increased demand in the United States, increased distribution internationally
into the expanding self-select distribution channel and the further development
of new international markets.
United States. Net sales in the United States increased to $1,300.2 for
1997 from $1,182.3 for 1996, an increase of $117.9, or 10.0%. Net sales improved
for 1997, primarily as a result of continued consumer acceptance of new product
offerings and general improvement in consumer demand for the Company's color
cosmetics. 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.
17
International. Net sales outside the United States 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. Sales outside the United
States 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 impacted by
competitive activity affecting the Company's toiletries business.
Cost of sales
As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 33.2% for 1997 compared
to 32.9% for 1996. The increase in 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.
SG&A expenses
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 57.0% for 1997, an
improvement from 57.5% for 1996. SG&A expenses other than advertising and
consumer-directed promotion expenses, as a percentage of net sales, improved to
39.2% for 1997 compared with 40.5% 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 outside the
United States. Advertising and consumer-directed promotion expenses increased by
11.8% to $397.4, or 17.8% of net sales, for 1997 from $355.5, or 17.0% of net
sales, for 1996.
Business consolidation costs and other, net
Business consolidation costs and other, net, in 1997 include 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 for 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.
18
Operating income
As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $16.1, or
8.1%, to $216.1 for 1997 from $200.0 for 1996.
Other expenses/income
Interest expense was $133.7 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.
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.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $9.3 and $25.5 for 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower taxable income
with respect to operations outside the United States, partially as a result of
the implementation of tax planning, including the utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards with respect to operations outside the United States, and
benefits from net operating loss carryforwards domestically.
Discontinued operations
Income from discontinued operations was $0.7 and $0.4 for 1997 and
1996, respectively. The 1997 period includes a $6.0 non-recurring gain resulting
from the merger of Prestige Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc., then a wholly owned
subsidiary of Products Corporation, with and into Cosmetic Center on April 25,
1997, partially offset by related business consolidation costs of $4.0 and
operating losses of Cosmetic Center.
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 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 credit agreement in effect at that time
(the "1995 Credit Agreement") prior to maturity with the net proceeds from
Revlon, Inc.'s initial public equity offering (the "Revlon IPO") and proceeds
from the 1996 Credit Agreement.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash (used for)/provided by operating activities was $(50.4)$(82.7), $(50.4)
and $8.9 for 1999, 1998 and $(10.3)1997, respectively. The increase in net cash used
for operating activities for 1999 compared with 1998 1997was the result of
operating losses and 1996, respectively.increased use of cash for business consolidation costs
during 1999, partially offset by changes in working capital. The increase in
net cash used for operating activities for 1998 compared with cash provided in
1997 resulted primarily from lower operating income and increased cash used for
business consolidation costs and other, net in 1998. 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
in 1997, partially offset by increased spending on merchandise display units in
connection with the Company's expansion into the self-select distribution
channel.
Net cash used for investing activities was $40.7, $91.0 and $84.3 for
1999, 1998 and $61.81997, respectively. Net cash used for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.investing activities in
1999 related principally to capital expenditures. Net cash used for investing
activities for 1998 and 1997 includes cash paid in connection with acquisitions
of businesses and capital expenditures, partially offset by the proceeds from
the sale of the wigs and hairpieces portion of the Company's business in the
United States in 1998 and from the sale of certain assets in 1998 and 1997. Net
cash used for investing activities for 1999, 1998 1997 and 19961997 included capital
expenditures of $42.3, $60.8 $52.3 and $54.7,$52.3, respectively, and in 1998 and 1997
$57.6 $40.5 and $7.1,$40.5, respectively, used for acquisitions.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $118.4, $158.0 and $84.7
for 1999, 1998 and $77.91997, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities
for 1998, 19971999 included cash drawn under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by

On November 6, 1998, Products Corporation issued and sold $250.0
aggregate principal amount of the 9% Notes in a private placement, receiving net
proceeds of $247.2. Products Corporation intends to use $200.0 of the net
proceeds from the sale of the 9% Notes to refinance the 1999 Notes, including
through open market purchases. Products Corporation intends to use the balance
of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to temporarily
reduce indebtedness under the working capital lines under the Credit Agreement.
Pending the refinancing of the 1999 Notes, such net proceeds will be retained by
Products Corporation and a portion of such proceeds will be used to temporarily
reduce indebtedness under the working capital lines under the Credit Agreement
and under other short-term facilities. On February 24, 1999, substantially all
of the 9% Notes were exchanged for registered notes with substantially identical
terms.
On February 2, 1998, Revlon Escrow Corp., an affiliate of Products
Corporation, issued and sold in a private placement $650.0 aggregate principal
amount of 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "8 5/8% Notes") and
$250.0 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
of approximately $886 deposited into escrow. The proceeds from the sale of the
Notes were used to finance the redemption by Products Corporation of $555.0
aggregate principal amount of its 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003
(the "Senior Subordinated Notes") and $260.0 aggregate principal amount of its
9 3/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior 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 assumed 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"). In connection
20
with the redemptions of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes, the
Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $51.7 during 1998 resulting primarily
from the write-off of deferred financing costs and payment of call premiums on
the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes. On May 7, 1998,
substantially all of the Notes were exchanged for registered notes with
substantially identical terms (the Notes and the registered exchange notes shall
each be referred to as the "Notes").$3.4, respectively.
In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the(as
subsequently amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders,
whose individual members change from time to time. The proceedsPrior to the commitment
reduction resulting from the sale of loans made underthe professional products line (See
"Subsequent Event" below) 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 Sinking Fund Debentures and were and will be used for
general corporate purposes and, in the case of the Acquisition Facility (as
hereinafter defined), the financing of acquisitions. The Credit Agreement
providesprovided up to $749.0$723.0 and
is comprised ofcomprises five senior secured facilities: $199.0$198.0 in two term loan facilities
(the "Term Loan Facilities"), a $300.0 multi-currency facility (the
"Multi-Currency Facility"), a $200.0$175.0 revolving acquisition facility, which may
also be used for general corporate purposes and which may be increased to
$400.0$375.0 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"). At December 31, 1998,1999, the Company
had approximately $199.0$198.0 outstanding under the Term Loan Facilities, $9.7$235.2
outstanding under the Multi-Currency Facility, $63.5$155.0 outstanding under the
Acquisition Facility and $29.0$29.8 of issued but undrawn letters of credit under
the Special LC Facility.
In
connection with the issuanceThe Credit Agreement contained financial covenants requiring Products
Corporation to maintain minimum interest coverage and to limit its leverage
ratio, among other things. As a result of the 9% Notes,loss from continuing operations
before taxes incurred by Products Corporation in the third quarter of 1999, the
interest coverage and leverage ratios specified in the Credit Agreement were
not achieved at September 30, 1999. The Credit Agreement was amended on
November 10, 1999 to (i) eliminate the interest coverage ratio and leverage
ratio covenants from the quarter ended September 30, 1999 through the year 2000
and to modify those covenants for the years 2001 and 2002; (ii) add a minimum
EBITDA covenant for each quarter end during the year 2000; (iii) limit the
amount that Products Corporation may spend for capital expenditures and
investments including acquisitions; (iv) permit the sale of Products
Corporation's worldwide professional products line and its non-core Latin
American brands Colorama, Juvena, Bozzano and Plusbelle (the "Asset Sales");
(v) change the reduction of the aggregate commitment that is required upon
consummation of any Asset Sale to an amount equal to 60% of the "Net Proceeds"
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) from such Asset Sale as opposed to 100% of
such Net Proceeds as provided under the Credit Agreement prior to the
amendment; (vi) increase the "applicable margin" by 3/4 of 1% and (vii) permit
the amendment of the Yen Credit Agreement described below. In March 2000, 60%
of the Net Proceeds from the sale of its worldwide professional products line
was applied to reduce the aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement to
provide that it can retain the net proceeds of such issuance
which exceed the amount of the 1999 Notes refinanced plus related costs and
expenses. Additionally, Products Corporation agreed that until the 1999 Notes
are refinanced, $200.0 of the Multi-Currency Facility available under$572.7 (See "Subsequent Event" below). In March 2000, the Credit Agreement (reduced bywas
amended to eliminate the amountdefault upon the acceleration of 1999 Notes actually repurchased or refinanced), which would otherwise be available for working capital purposes,
will be used solely to refinance the 1999 Notes. In December 1998, Products
Corporation amended the Credit Agreement to modify the termscertain payment
defaults under indebtedness of certainREV Holdings in excess of the
financial ratios and tests to account for, among other things, the expected
charges in connection with the Company's restructuring effort. In addition, the
amendment increased the applicable margin and provides that Products Corporation
may use the proceeds of the Acquisition Facility for general corporate purposes
as well as for acquisitions.$0.5.

and approximately (yen)474 million (approximately $4.2 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of December 31, 1998) is due on December 31, 2000. On December 10, 1998, in
connection with the disposition of the stock of Cosmetic Center, which had
served as collateralborrower under the Yen Credit Agreement executed an amendment to the Yen
Credit Agreement to eliminate the amortization payment due in March 2000 and to
provide that the final maturity date of the Yen Credit Agreement will be the
earlier of (i) the closing date of the sale of Products Corporation's
professional products line and (ii) December 31, 2000. In March 2000, the
outstanding balance under the Yen Credit Agreement was repaid in full in
accordance with its terms.
In November 1998, Products Corporation repaid
(yen)2.22 billion (approximately $19.0 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December 10,

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, 1998.1999.
The Company's principal sources of funds are expected to be cash flow
generated from operations (before interest) and borrowings under the Credit
Agreement, refinancings and other existing working capital lines.lines and renewals thereof, as well
as proceeds from the sale of one or more of the Company's non-core Latin
American brands. The Credit Agreement, the 19998 5/8% Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes and
the 9% Notes 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
19
principal uses of funds are expected to be the payment of operating expenses,
working capital and capital expenditure requirements, expenses in connection
with the Company's restructuring referred to above and debt service payments (including purchase
and repaymentpayments.
As required under the Credit Agreement, the Company used 60% of the 1999 Notes).

Net
Proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from the sale of its worldwide
professional products line to reduce the aggregate commitment under the Credit
Agreement. Additionally, the Company expects that it will receive cash proceeds
from the sale of one or more of its non-core Latin American brands and that it
will use 60% of the Net Proceeds, to reduce the aggregate commitment under the
Credit Agreement.
The Company estimates that capital expenditures for 19992000 will be
approximately $60,$25, including upgrades to the Company's management information
systems. The Company estimates that cash payments related to the 1998
restructuring
chargeplans referred to in Note 4 and executive separation costs will be
approximately $35 of which approximately $22 will
be paid in 1999.2000. 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 federal
taxes pursuant to the tax sharing agreement will be required for 1999.
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. Products
Corporation terminated these agreements in January 1998 and realized a gain of
approximately $1.6, which was recognized upon repayment of the hedged
indebtedness and is included in the 1998 extraordinary item for the early
extinguishment of debt.2000.
Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts and
option contracts from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated in
foreign currencies. There were no forward foreign exchange or option contracts
outstanding at December 31, 1999. Products Corporation had forward foreign
exchange contracts denominated in various currencies of approximately $197.5
and $90.1 (U.S. dollar equivalent) outstanding at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and option contracts
of approximately $51.0 and $94.9 outstanding at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.1998. Such contracts are entered into to
hedge transactions predominantly occurring within twelve months. If Products
Corporation had terminated these contracts on December 31, 1998 and 1997 or the contracts then
outstanding on December 31, 1996, no material
gain or loss would have been realized.
Based upon the Company's current level of operations and anticipated
growth in net sales and earnings as a result of its business strategy, theThe Company expects that cash flows from operations and funds from
currently available credit facilities and refinancingsrenewals of existing indebtednessshort-term borrowings
will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated cash
requirements for
the foreseeable futureduring 2000 on a consolidated basis, including for debt service
(including refinancing the 1999 Notes).service.
However, there can be no assurance that the combination of cash flow from
operations, and funds from existing credit facilities and refinancingrenewals of existing indebtednessshort-term
borrowings 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
other assets or operations, or seeking capital contributions or loans from
Revlon, Inc. or other 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.
Products Corporation has had discussions with an affiliate that is prepared to
provide financial support to Products Corporation of up to $40 on appropriate
terms through December 31, 2000. The terms of the Credit Agreement, the 19998 5/8%
Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes and the 9% Notes generally 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "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. Second 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.

YEAR 2000
Commencing in 1997, the Company undertook a business process
enhancement program to substantially upgrade management information technology
systems in order to provide comprehensive order processing, production and
accounting support for the Company's business. The Company also developed a
comprehensive plan to address Year 2000 issues. The Year 2000 plan addresses
three main areas: (a) information technology systems; (b) non-information
technology systems (including factory equipment, building systems and other
embedded systems); and (c) business partner readiness (including without
limitation customers, inventory and non-inventory suppliers, service suppliers,
banks, insurance companies and tax and other governmental agencies). To oversee
the process, the Company has established a Steering Committee comprised of
senior executives of the Company.
In connection with and as part of the Company's business process
enhancement program, certain information technology systems have been and will
continue to be upgraded to be Year 2000 compliant. In addition, as part of its
Year 2000 plan, the Company has identified potential deficiencies related to
Year 2000 in certain of its information technology systems, both hardware and
software, and is in the process of addressing them through upgrades and other
remediation. The Company currently expects to complete upgrade and remediation
and testing of its information systems by the third quarter of 1999. In respect
of non-information technology systems with date sensitive operating controls,
the Company is in the process of identifying those items which may require
remediation or replacement, and has commenced an upgrade and remediation program
for systems identified as Year 2000 non-compliant. The Company expects to
complete remediation or replacement and testing of these by the third quarter of
1999. The Company has identified and contacted and continues to identify and
contact key suppliers, both inventory and non-inventory, key customers and other
strategic business partners, such as banks, pension trust managers and marketing
data suppliers, either by soliciting written responses to questionnaires and/or
by meeting with certain of such third parties. The parties from whom the Company
has received responses to date generally have indicated that their systems are
or will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company currently expects to gain a better
understanding of the Year 2000 readiness of third party business partners by
early 1999.
The Company does not expect that incremental out-of-pocket costs of its
Year 2000 program (which do not include costs incurred in connection with the
Company's comprehensive business process enhancement program) will be material.
These costs are expected to continue to be incurred through fiscal 1999 and
include the cost of third party consultants, remediation of existing computer
software and replacement and remediation of embedded systems.
The Company believes that at the current time it is difficult to
identify specifically the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario.
As with all manufacturers and distributors of products such as those sold by the
Company, a reasonable worst case scenario would be the result of failures of
third parties (including, without limitation, governmental entities and entities
with which the Company has no direct involvement, as well as the Company's
suppliers of goods and services and customers) that continue for more than a
brief period in various geographic areas where the Company's products are
produced or sold at retail or in areas from which the Company's raw materials
and components are sourced. In connection with functions that represent a
particular Year 2000 risk, including the production, warehousing and
distribution of products and the supply of raw materials and components, the
Company is considering various contingency plans. Continuing failures in key
geographic areas in the United States and in certain European, South American
and Asian countries that limit the Company's ability to produce products, its
customers' ability to purchase and pay for the Company's products and/or
consumers' ability to shop, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations, although it would be expected that at least
part of any lost sales eventually would be recouped. The extent of such deferred
or lost revenue cannot be estimated at this time.
The Company's Year 2000 efforts are ongoing and its overall plan, as
well as the consideration of contingency plans, will continue to evolve as new
information becomes available. While the Company currently anticipates
continuity of its business activities, that continuity will be dependent upon
its ability, and the ability of third parties upon which the Company relies
directly, or indirectly, to be Year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance
that the Company and such third parties will eliminate potential Year 2000
issues in a timely manner or as to the ultimate cost to the Company of doing so.
2320
EURO CONVERSION
As part of the European Economic and Monetary Union, a single currency
(the "Euro") will replace the national currencies of the principal European
countries (other than the United Kingdom) in which the Company conducts
business and manufacturing. The conversion rates between the Euro and the
participating nations' currencies were fixed as of January 1, 1999, with the
participating national currencies beingto be removed from circulation between
January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002 and replaced by Euro notes and coinage.
During the transition period from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2001,
public and private entities as well as individuals may pay for goods and
services using checks, drafts, or wire transfers denominated either in the Euro
or the participating country's national currency. Under the regulations
governing the transition to a single currency, there is a "no compulsion, no
prohibition" rule which states that no one can be prevented from using the Euro
after January 1, 2002 and no one is obliged to use the Euro before July 2002.
In keeping with this rule, the Company expects to either continue using the
national currencies or the Euro for invoicing or payments. Based upon the
information currently available, the Company does not expect that the
transition to the Euro will have a material adverse effect on the business or
consolidated financial condition of the Company.

of its non-core regional Latin American brands, that it will consummate such
sales during the second quarter of 2000 and its expectation regarding the
proceeds of such sales. Statements that are not historical facts, including
statements about the Company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other
things, the use of forward-looking language, such as "believe," "expects,"
"may," "will," "should," "seeks," "plans," "scheduled to," "anticipates" or
"intends" or the negative of those terms, or other variations of those terms or
comparable language, or by discussions of strategy or intentions.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the
Company undertakes no obligation to update them. A number of important factors
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statement. In addition to factors that may be described in the
Company's filings with the Commission, including this filing, the following
factors, among others, could cause the Company's actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the
Company: (i) difficulties or delays in becoming the most trusted supplier, the
most innovative and the first to market with innovations, attracting and
retaining the best people in the industry, building consistent global equities,
addressing consumer needs, exceeding trade partners' expectations, operating at
benchmark levels of efficiency, becoming the most dynamic leader in global
beauty and skin care, and in developing and introducing new products or failure
of customers to accept new product offerings; (ii) changes in consumer
preferences, including reduced consumer demand for the Company's color
cosmetics and other current products; (iii) difficulties or delays in the
Company's continued expansion into the self-select distribution channel and
into certain markets and development of new markets; (iv) unanticipated costs
or difficulties or delays in completing projects associated with the Company's
strategy to improve operating efficiencies including information system
upgrades;; (v) the inability to refinance indebtedness, secure
capital contributions or loans from Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates of the
Company or sell assets or operations; (vi) effects of and changes in political
and/or economic conditions, including inflation and monetary conditions, and in
trade, monetary, fiscal and tax policies in international markets, including
but not limited to Brazil; (vii) actions by competitors, including business
combinations, technological breakthroughs, new products

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No.
133, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133," which has delayed the required
implementation of SFAS No. 133 such that the Company must adopt this new
standard no later than January 1, 2001. The effect of adopting the statement and the date of such adoptionnew standard
by the Company havehas not yet been determined. The Company plans to adopt the new
standard on January 1, 2001.
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. Effective January 1, 1999,
it will no longer beMexico was considered a hyperinflationarynon-hyperinflationary economy. 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.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On March 30, 2000, the Company completed the disposition of its worldwide
professional products line, including professional hair care for use in and
resale by professional salons, ethnic hair and personal care products, Natural
Honey skin care and certain regional toiletries brands, for $315 in cash,
before adjustments, plus $10 in purchase price payable in the future,
contingent upon the purchasers' achievement of certain rates of return on their
investment. The disposition involved the sale of certain of the Company's
subsidiaries throughout the world devoted to the professional products line, as
well as assets dedicated exclusively or primarily to the lines being disposed.
The worldwide professional products line was purchased by a company formed by
CVC Capital Partners, the Colomer family and other investors, led by Carlos
Colomer, a former manager of the line that was sold, following arms'-length
negotiation of the terms of the purchase agreement therefor, including the
determination of the amount of the consideration.
The following unaudited summary pro forma financial information gives
effect to the sale of the worldwide professional products line as of January 1,
1999 in the case of the pro forma statement of operations data and as of
December 31, 1999 in the case of the pro forma balance sheet data. The pro
forma information includes certain adjustments, such as reduced interest expense
and a reduction in long-term debt as a result of the repayment of debt with
$296.3 of the net proceeds from the disposition. The unaudited pro forma
statement of operations data exclude the gain on the sale of the professional
products line and eliminate costs incurred to date in connection with the sale
since the gain and associated costs are non-recurring. The unaudited summary pro
forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations of the Company had the sale occurred at January 1, 1999, or financial
position at December 31, 1999 had the sale occurred at that date, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future results.

(a) Grant Date Present Values were calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The model as applied used the grant datedates of January 8, 1998February 12,
1999 and May 17, 1999 with respect to the options granted on such date

dates and
used the grant date of June 17, 1998December 6, 1999 (the first business day after the date
of grant) with respect to the option granted to Mr. FoxNugent on June 17, 1998.December 5, 1999.
Stock option models require a prediction about the future movement of stock
price. The following assumptions were made for purposes of calculating Grant
Date Present Values: (i) a risk-free rate of return of 5.46%5.18% with respect to
the options granted on January 8, 1998February 12, 1999, 6.24% with respect to the options
granted on May 17, 1999, and 5.26%5.75% with respect to the option granted to Mr.
FoxNugent on
June 17, 1998,31
December 5, 1999, which were the rates as of the applicable grant dates 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 55.93%68% based upon the
volatility of the stock price of Revlon, Inc. 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. The real value of the options in the table
depends upon the actual performance of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock during
the applicable period and upon when they are exercised.

(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 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 December 14, 1998, is a
non-qualified benefit arrangement designed to provide for the payment by
Products Corporation 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 on the participant not competing with
Products Corporation for one year after termination of employment.

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. The net amount reimbursed by MacAndrews Holdings to the Company
for the services provided under the Reimbursement Agreements for 19981999 was $3.1 million, $0.2 million of which was
offset against certain notes payable to Holdings.$0.5
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 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 1998.

OTHER
Pursuant to a lease dated April 2, 1993 (the "Edison Lease"), Holdings
leased 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, were 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 was
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.

Holdings a portion of the administration building located at the Edison facility

operation. During 1998, Products Corporation provided certain administrative
services, including accounting, for Holdings with respect to the Edison facility
pursuant to which Products Corporation paid on behalf of Holdings costs
associated with the Edison facility and was reimbursed by Holdings for such
costs, less the amount owed by Products Corporation to Holdings pursuant to the
Edison Lease and the occupancy agreement. In August 1998, Holdings
sold the Edison facility to an unrelated third party, which assumed
substantially all liability for environmental claims and compliance costs
relating to the Edison facility, and in connection with the sale Products
Corporation terminated the Edison Lease and entered into a new lease with the
new owner. Holdings agreed to indemnify Products Corporation to the extent rent
under the new lease exceeds rent that would have been payable under the
terminated Edison Lease had it not been terminated. The net amount reimbursed
by Holdings to Products Corporation with respect to the Edison facility for
19981999 was $0.5$0.2 million.

placement $650 million aggregate principal amount of 8 5/8% Notes and $250

deposited into escrow. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to
finance the redemption of Products Corporation's $555 million aggregate
principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes and $260 million aggregate
principal amount of Senior 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, and to
the holders of the Senior Notes for the redemption of the Senior Notes on April
1, 1998, at which time Products Corporation assumed the obligations under the 8
1/8% Notes and the related indenture. 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 Products Corporation'sDuring 1999, Notes.
During 1998, 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, during the first half of 1998,

was $2.9$1.1 million.
During 1998, approximately $5.7 million due to Products Corporation
from Holdings was offset against certain notes payable to Holdings.
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)
until the disposition of the Edison facility in August 1998, a mortgage on the
Edison facility.

Holdings.
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, 1998.1999. 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 facilities in effect at the time of such borrowing. The
amount of interest paid by Products Corporation for such borrowings for 19981999
was $0.8$0.5 million.

that was its affiliate during part of 1998, for which it paid approximately $0.4
million.

company that was its affiliate during part of 1998. In connection with the
termination of the licensing arrangement and its agreement to provide consulting
services during 1998, Products Corporation received payments of $2.0 million in
1998 and is entitled to receive an additional $1.0 million in 1999.

transactions are at least as favorable$0.1 million to a

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, 19981999 and 1997,1998, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's deficiency and
comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998.1999. 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, 19981999 and 19971998 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1998,1999, 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.

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation" and
together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was formed in April 1992. The
Company operates in a single segment with many different products, which includemanufactures and sells an extensive array of glamorous, exciting and innovative cosmeticcosmetics and skin care,
fragrancefragrances and personal care products, and professional products (products for
use in and resale by professional salons). InOn March 30, 2000, the United StatesCompany sold
its worldwide professional products line (See Note 20 for further information).
The Company's principal customers include large mass volume retailers and increasingly
in international markets, the Company's products are sold principally in the
self-select distribution channel.chain
drug stores, as well as certain department stores and other specialty stores,
such as perfumeries. The Company also sells certain products in the
demonstrator-assisted distribution channel, sells consumer and professional products
to United States military exchanges and commissaries 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, 1998 and 1997, the amounts reflected in
the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets aggregated a net liability of $25.9,
of which $7.5 is included in accrued expenses and other and $18.4 is included in
other long-term liabilities as of both dates.
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.
F-7
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.
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.
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, 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.
During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use," which requires capitalization of certain development costs of
software to be used internally. The adoption of this statement did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Included in other assets are permanent displays amounting to approximately
$129.0$131.2 and $107.7$129.0 (net of amortization) as of December 31, 19981999 and 1997,1998,
respectively, which are amortized over 3 to 5 years. In addition, the Company
has included in other assets charges related to the issuance of its debt
instruments amounting to approximately $23.6$21.0 and $20.5$23.6 (net of amortization) as
of December 31, 19981999 and 1997,1998, respectively, which are amortized over the termterms
of the related debt instruments.
F-7
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
throughprojections.
When impairment is indicated, the useCompany writes down recorded amounts of
various other measures, which include, among other things, a
reviewgoodwill to the amount of its image, market share and business plans.estimated undiscounted cash flows. Accumulated
amortization aggregated $115.6$128.0 and $104.2$115.6 at December 31, 19981999 and 1997,1998,
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 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 (as hereinafter defined), Revlon, Inc.,
Products Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries and Mafco Holdings entered
into a tax sharing agreement, which is described in Notes 13 and 16.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
The Company 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.
The Company 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.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. The
amounts charged against earnings in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $32.9, $31.9 and
1996 were $31.9, $29.7, and
$26.3, 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.accumulated other comprehensive loss.
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.
F-8
Effective January 1997 and for all of 1997 and 1998, the Company's
operations in Mexico have been accounted for as operating in a
hyperinflationary economy. Effective January 1, 1999, the Company's operations
in Mexico will no longer be consideredhave been accounted for as is required for a hyperinflationarynon-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 werewas not material to the
Company's operating results in 1997.1997 and in 1999 for Mexico.
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 holder
of Products Corporation's 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 F-9
Products Corporation's
various debt agreements currently restrict Products Corporation's ability to
effect such redemption.
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 interpretation. Accordingly, compensation
cost for stock options issued to employees 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 15).
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Derivative financial instruments are utilized from time to time 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.
To qualify for hedge accounting, a contract must meet defined correlation
and effectiveness criteria, be designated as a hedge and result in cash flows
and financial statement effects that substantially offset those of the position
being hedged. Derivative financial instruments that the Company temporarily
continues to hold after the early termination of a hedged position, or that
otherwise no longer qualify for hedge accounting, are marked-to-market, with
gains and losses recognized in the Company's Statements of Operations after the
termination or disqualification. 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.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging
F-9
activities. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
of SFAS No. 133, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133," which has delayed the required
implementation of SFAS No. 133 such that the Company must adopt this new
standard no later than January 1, 2001. The effect of adopting the statement and the date of such
adoptionnew standard
by the Company havehas not yet been determined. The Company plans to adopt the new
standard on January 1, 2001.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION
Costs associated with advertising and promotion are expensed in the year
incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses were $411.8, $422.9 and $397.4 for
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1998, the Company completed the disposition of its approximately
85% equity interest in The Cosmetic Center, Inc. (the "Cosmetic Center"), along
with certain amounts due from Cosmetic Center to the Company for working
capital and inventory, to a newly formed limited partnership controlled by an
unrelated third party. The Company received a minority limited partnership
interest in the limited partnership as consideration for the disposition. Based
upon the Company's expectation that it willwould receive no future cash flows from
the limited partnership, as well as other factors, the Company has assigned no
value to such interest. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of
$47.7 during 1998. All prior periods have beenwere restated to reflect the results of
operations of Cosmetic Center as discontinued operations.
As of December 31, 1997, the net
assets of the discontinued operations consisted primarily of inventory and
intangible assets, offset by liabilities, including third party debt and
minority interest.
3. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
The extraordinary itemloss of $51.7 in 1998 resulted primarily from the
write-off of deferred financing costs and payment of call premiums associated
with the redemption of the Senior Notes (as hereinafter defined) and the Senior
Subordinated Notes (as hereinafter defined). The extraordinary itemloss 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 F-10
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.
4. BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION COSTS AND OTHER, NET
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a restructuring
plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real estate, realign
and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing

employee severance and other personnel benefits, costs associated with the exit

approximately $4.3 on the sales of certain factory operations outside the

(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 credit agreement in effect at that time and to
redeem the Sinking Fund Debentures. On November 10, 1999, the Credit Agreement
was amended as described below.
The Credit Agreement provides up to $749.0$723.0 at December 31, 1999 and
is comprisedconsists of five senior secured facilities: $199.0$198.0 in two term loan facilities
(the "Term Loan Facilities"), a $300.0 multi-currency facility (the
"Multi-Currency Facility"), a $200.0$175.0 revolving acquisition facility, which may
be increased to $400.0$375.0 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
F-13
revolving credit loans and bankers' acceptances denominated in U.S. dollars and
other currencies (the "Local Loans"). At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Products
Corporation had approximately $198.0 and $199.0, respectively, outstanding
under the Term Loan Facilities, $235.2 and $9.7, respectively, outstanding
under the Multi-Currency Facility, $155.0 and $63.5, respectively, outstanding
under the Acquisition Facility and $29.8 and $29.0, respectively, 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, 19981999 at a rate equal to, at Products Corporation's
option, either (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75%2.50% (or 2.75%3.50% for Local
Loans); or (B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.75%3.50%. Loans in foreign currencies bear
interest as of December 31, 19981999 at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate or,
in the case of Local Loans, the local lender rate, in each case plus 2.75%3.50%. The
applicable margin is reduced in the event Products Corporation attains certain
leverage ratios. Products Corporation pays the lender a commitment fee as of
December 31, 19981999 of 1/2 of 1% of the unused portion of the Credit Facilities.
F-13
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 in the aggregate
during the term 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 commenced 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 commencecommenced on
December 31, 1999 in the amount of $25.0 and, as of December 31, 1999, 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). As described below, as a result of the reduction in commitment
resulting from the sale of the Company's worldwide professional products line,
the originally scheduled reductions in 2000 and 2001 have decreased. 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 9.9%, 8.1% and 9.8% at December 31, 1999, respectively, and 8.1%,
9.2% and 8.7% per annum forat December 31, 1998, respectively, and 7.1%,
5.4% and 5.7% for 1997, respectively.
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) mortgagesa mortgage on Holdings' Edison, New Jersey (until its
disposition in August 1998) and Products Corporation's
Phoenix, Arizona facility; (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 and (y) certain subsidiaries
of Holdings; (iv) domestic inventory and accounts receivable of (x) Products
Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries and (y) certain subsidiaries of
Holdings; and (v) the assets of certain foreign subsidiary borrowers under the
Multi-Currency Facility (to support their borrowings only). The Credit
Agreement provides that the liens on the stock and personal property referred
to above may be shared from time to time with specified types of other
obligations incurred or guaranteed by Products Corporation, such as interest
rate hedging obligations, working capital lines and a subsidiary of Products
Corporation's yen-denominated 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,
F-14
(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 as described below 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-length transaction. In addition to the
foregoing, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring Products
Corporation to maintain minimum interest coverage in 2001 and 2002, covenants
whichthat limit the leverage ratio of Products Corporation in 2001 and 2002, and
covenants that limit the amount of capital expenditures.
The events of default under the Credit Agreement include a Change of
Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of Products Corporation, the
acceleration of, or certain payment defaults under, indebtedness of REV
Holdings in excess of $0.5 (which was eliminated by amendment in March 2000),
and other customary events of default for such types of agreements.
F-14
In December 1998,The Credit Agreement contained financial covenants requiring Products
Corporation to maintain minimum interest coverage and to limit its leverage
ratio, among other things. As a result of the loss from continuing operations
before taxes incurred by Products Corporation in the third quarter of 1999, the
interest coverage and leverage ratios specified in the Credit Agreement were
not achieved at September 30, 1999. On November 10, 1999 the Credit Agreement
was amended to (i) eliminate the interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio
covenants from the quarter ended September 30, 1999 through the year 2000 and
to modify those covenants for the years 2001 and 2002; (ii) add a minimum
EBITDA covenant for each quarter end during the year 2000; (iii) limit the
amount that Products Corporation may spend for capital expenditures and
investments including acquisitions; (iv) permit the sale of Products
Corporation's worldwide professional products line and its non-core Latin
American brands Colorama, Juvena, Bozzano and Plusbelle (such sales, the "Asset
Sales"); (v) change the reduction of the aggregate commitment that is required
upon consummation of any Asset Sale to an amount equal to 60% of the Net
Proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from such Asset Sale as opposed
to 100% of such Net Proceeds as provided under the Credit Agreement prior to
the amendment; (vi) increase the "applicable margin" by 3/4 of 1% and (vii)
permit the amendment of a yen-denominated credit agreement (the "Yen Credit
Agreement"). On March 30, 2000, approximately 60% of the $250.5 in Net Proceeds
(as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement) from the sale of its
worldwide professional products line was used to permanently reduce the
aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement to modify$572.7. As a result of such
commitment reduction, as of March 30, 2000, the terms of certain ofaggregate amount outstanding
under the financial ratiosTerm Loan Facilities was reduced by $79.8 to $118.2, and teststhe aggregate
commitments under the Acquisition Facility was reduced by $70.5 to account for,
among other things, the expected charges in connection with the Company's
restructuring effort. In addition, the amendment increased the applicable margin
to the levels set forth in the description above and provides that Products
Corporation may use the proceeds$104.5. The
scheduled reductions of the Acquisition Facility for general
corporate purposes as well as for acquisitions.will also be reduced such that
the total amount of such reductions is equal to the reduced aggregate
Acquisition Facility commitment. The scheduled reductions of the Acquisition
Facility changed from $60.0 to $35.0 during 2000, from $90.0 to $53.8 during
2001 and from $25.0 to $14.9 during 2002.
(b) The Pacific Finance & Development Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Products Corporation, is the borrower under a yen denominated credit agreement (the "Yenthe Yen Credit Agreement"),Agreement, which had
a principal balance of approximately (yen)1.5(Yen) 1.0 billion as of December 31, 19981999
(approximately $13.6$9.9 U.S. dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1998) (after1999) after
giving effect to the repayments described below).
Approximately (yen)payment of approximately (Yen) 539 million (approximately
$4.2$4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent) was
paid in March 1998, approximately (yen)539 million (approximately $4.7 U.S.
dollar equivalent as of December 31, 1998) is due in each of March1999. On November 12, 1999, and 2000
and approximately (yen)474 million (approximately $4.2 U.S. dollar equivalent as
of December 31, 1998) is due on December 31, 2000. On December 10, 1998, in
connection with the disposition of the stock of Cosmetic Center, which had
served as collateralborrower
under the Yen Credit Agreement executed an amendment to the Yen Credit
Agreement to eliminate the amortization payment due in March 2000 and to
provide that the final maturity date of the Yen Credit Agreement will be the
earlier of (i) the closing date of the sale of Products Corporation repaid
(yen)2.22 billion (approximately $19.0 U.S. dollar equivalent as ofCorporation's
professional products line and (ii) December 10,
1998) principal amount.31, 2000. The applicable interest
rate at December 31, 19981999 under the Yen Credit Agreement was the Euro-Yen rate
plus 2.75%, which approximated 3.5%3.6%. The interest rate at December 31, 19971998 was
the Euro-Yen rate plus 1.25%2.75%, which approximated 1.9%3.5%. In March 2000, the
outstanding balance under the Yen Credit Agreement was repaid in accordance
with its terms.

On November 6, 1998, Products Corporation issued and sold in a private
placement $250.0 aggregate principal amount ofthe 9% Senior Notes due
2006 (the "9% Notes"), receiving net proceeds of $247.2. Products Corporation intends to use
$200.0 of the net proceeds from the sale of the 9% Notes to refinance the 1999

been used to reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement. As a result of the
refinancing, the Company has classified the 1999 Notes as "Long-term debt-third

(i)(g) During 1992, Revlon Holdings Inc., the indirect parent of the Company
("Holdings"), made an advance of $25.0 to Products Corporation, evidenced by
subordinated noninterest-bearing demand notes. The notes were subsequently
adjusted by offsets of amounts due from Holdings to
Products Corporation, and additional amounts loaned by Holdings to Products
Corporation, such that the amount outstanding under the notes was $41.3 as of
December 31, 1995. In June 1996, $10.9 in notes due to Products Corporation from
Holdings under the Financing Reimbursement Agreement was offset against the
notes.Corporation. 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. In 1998, approximately $6.8
due to Products Corporation from Holdings was offset against the notes payable
to Holdings. At December 31, 19981999 the balance of $24.1 is evidenced by
noninterest-bearing promissory notes payable to Holdings that are subordinated
to Products Corporation's obligations under the Credit Agreement.
F-17
(h) Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to
time to supplement its working capital borrowings. No such borrowings atwere
outstanding as of December 31, 1999 or 1998. The interest rates for such
borrowings are more favorable to Products Corporation than the rateinterest rates under
the Credit Agreement. NoAgreement and, for borrowings occurring prior to the execution of
the Credit Agreement, the credit facilities in effect at the time of such
borrowing. The amount of interest paid by Products Corporation for such
borrowings were outstanding at December 31,for 1999, 1998 or 1997.and 1997 was $0.5, $0.8 and $0.6, respectively.
The aggregate amounts of long-term debt maturities (at December 31, 1998)1999),
in the years 19992000 through 20032004 are $206.0, $10.2, $39.8, $254.8$67.5, $545.1, $0 and $0,$0.1,
respectively, and $1,149.2 thereafter.
The Company expects that cash flows from operations and funds from
currently available credit facilities and renewals of short-term borrowings
will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated cash
requirements during 2000 on a consolidated basis, including for debt service.
However, there can be no assurance that the combination of cash flow from
operations, funds from existing credit facilities and renewals of short-term
borrowings 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
other assets or operations, or seeking capital contributions or loans from
affiliates of the Company or issuing additional shares of capital stock of
Revlon, Inc. Products Corporation has had discussions with an affiliate that is
prepared to provide financial support to Products Corporation of up to $40 on
appropriate terms through December 31, 2000.

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.
Products Corporation terminated these agreements in January 1998 and realized a
gain of approximately $1.6, which was recognized upon repayment of the hedged
indebtedness and is included in the extraordinary item for the early
extinguishment of debt. 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 and 1996 was
approximately $3.1 and $3.2, respectively.$3.1.
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, 1998, and 1997, Products Corporation had outstanding
forward foreign exchange contracts denominated in various currencies of
approximately $197.5 and $90.1, respectively, and outstanding option contracts of approximately $51.0 and $94.9, respectively.$51.0.
Such contracts are entered into to hedge transactions predominantly occurring
within twelve months. If Products Corporation had terminated these contracts on
December 31, 1998 and
1997 or the contracts then outstanding on December 31, 1996,1997, no
material gain or loss would have been realized. There were no forward foreign
exchange or option contracts outstanding on December 31, 1999.
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, 19981999 and 19971998 was approximately $(63.1)$444.2 and $39.0 (less) more$63.1
less than the carrying valuevalues of $1,660.0$1,772.1 and $1,425.2,$1,660.0, 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.
F-18
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 $30.7$30.5 and $40.6$30.7 (including
amounts available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were
maintained at December 31, 19981999 and 1997,1998, respectively. Included in these
amounts are $26.9$25.7 and $27.7,$26.9, respectively, in standby letters of credit, which
support Products
F-18
Corporation's self-insurance programs. The estimated liability under such
programs is accrued by Products Corporation.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities,
trade receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their
fair values.
13. 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 endingended 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 1999, 1998 1997 or 1996.1997. 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 16, 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 forIn assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the
level of historical taxable income for certain international markets and
projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred
tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that
the Company will realize the benefits of certain deductible differences
existing at January 1, 1998 was
$279.3.December 31, 1999.
The valuation allowance increased by $60.3 and $102.3 during 1999 and
1998, respectively and decreased by $54.5 during 1997.
F-21
During 1999, 1998, and $10.2 during 1997, and 1996, respectively.
During 1998, 1997 and 1996, certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries
used operating loss carryforwards to credit the current provision for income
taxes by $8.8, $2.4, $4.0, and $4.7,$4.0, respectively. Certain other foreign operations
generated losses during 1999, 1998 1997 and 19961997 for which the potential tax benefit
was reduced by a valuation allowance. During 1998 and 1997, the Company used
domestic operating loss carryforwards to credit the deferred provision for
income taxes by $5.8 and $12.0, respectively. During 1997, the Company applied
domestic operating loss carryforwards to credit the current provision for
income taxes by $18.5. At December 31, 1998,1999, the Company had tax loss
carryforwards of approximately $826.3 as compared with $578.9 at December
31, 1997. The increase in 1998 is primarily related to a substantial increase in
the domestic net operating loss carryforwards as a result of the write-off of
the U.S. tax basis of the investment in certain foreign operations. The net
operating losses at December 31, 1998$969.7 that expire in future years as follows:
1999-$29.9; 2000-$14.2;9.2; 2001-$17.1;19.9; 2002-$32.5; 200340.0; 2003-$22.1; 2004 and beyond-$589.7;694.1;
unlimited-$142.9.184.4. The Company could receive the benefit of such tax loss
carryforwards only to the extent it has taxable income during the carryforward
periods in the applicable jurisdictions. In addition, based upon certain
factors, including the amount and nature of gains or losses recognized by Mafco
Holdings and its other subsidiaries included in the consolidated federal income
tax return, the amount of net operating loss carryforwards attributable to
Mafco Holdings and such other subsidiaries and the amounts of alternative
minimum tax liability of Mafco Holdings and such other subsidiaries, pursuant
to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, all or a portion of the domestic
operating loss carryforwards may not be available to the Company should the
Company cease being a member of the Mafco Holdings consolidated federal income
tax return.
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 $14.3$13.3 at December 31, 1998,1999, excluding those
amounts which, if remitted in the near future, would not result in significant
additional taxes under tax statutes currently in effect.

Pension:
A substantial portion of the Company's employees in the United States are
covered by defined benefit pension plans. The Company uses September 30 as its
measurement date for plan obligations and assets.
Other Postretirement Benefits:
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

15. STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Since March 5, 1996, Revlon, Inc. has had a stock-based compensation plan
as amended and restated as of February 12, 1999 (the "Plan"), which is
described below. Products Corporation applies APB Opinion No. 25 and its
related interpretationinterpretations in accounting for the Plan. Under APB Opinion No. 25,
because the exercise price of employee stock options under the Plan equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost
has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined
consistent with SFAS No. 123, Products Corporation's net (loss) income of
$(370.3) for 1999, $(141.7) for 1998, and $44.8 for 1997 and $19.0 for 1996 would have been
changed to the pro forma amounts of $(396.0) for 1999, $(165.3) for 1998 and $32.5
for 1997 and $15.8
for 1996.1997. 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 68% in 1999, 56% in 1998, and 39% in 1997 and 31% in 1996;1997;
weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.48% in 1999, 5.37% in 1998, and
6.54% in 1997 and
5.99% in 1996;1997; and a seven year expected average life for the Plan's options
issued in 1999, 1998 1997 and 1996.1997. The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro
forma disclosure are not necessarily indicative of future amounts.
Under the Plan, options may be granted to its employees for up to an
aggregate of 5.07.0 million shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock.
Non-qualified options granted under the Plan have a term of 10
F-23
years during
which the holder can purchase shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock at an
exercise price which must be not less than the market price on the date of the
grant. Option grants vest over service periods that range from one to five
years, except as disclosed below. Options granted in 1996February 1999 with an
original four year vesting term were modified in May 1999 to certain executive officers will
not vest asallow the options
to any portion until the third anniversary of the grant date and
will thereupon become 100%fully vested except that upon termination of employment
between the second and third anniversary of the grant other than for "cause,"
death or "disability" under the applicable employment agreement, such options
will vest with respect to 50% of the shares subject thereto. Primarily all other
option grants, including options granted to certain executive officers in 1998
and 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 each
of 19971999, 1998 and 1998,1997, Revlon, Inc. granted to Mr. Perelman, Chairman of the
Board, options to purchase 300,000 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock,
which grants will vest in full on the fifth anniversary of the grant dates.dates as
to the 1998 and 1997 grants and which vested 100% on the date of grant as to
the 1999 grant. At
F-24
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 there were 1,850,050, 403,950 and 98,450
options exercisable under the Plan, respectively. At December 31, 1996 there were no
options exercisable under the Plan.

both dates.
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 has manufactured, marketed, distributed, warehoused and
administered, including the collection of accounts receivable, the Retained
Brands for Holdings. Pursuant to the Operating Services Agreement, Products
Corporation was reimbursed an amount equal to all of its and Revlon, Inc.'s
direct and indirect costs incurred in connection with furnishing such services,

Retained Brands, payable quarterly. The net amounts due from Holdings to
Products Corporation for such direct and indirect costs plus a fee equal to 5%

amount was offset against certain notes payable to Holdings), and $1.7, and $5.7,
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 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)

such services. The net amounts reimbursed by MacAndrews Holdings to the Company
for the services provided under the Reimbursement Agreements for 1999, 1998 and
1997 and 1996 were $0.5, $3.1 ($0.2 of which was offset against certain notes payable to
Holdings), $4.0 and $2.2,$4.0, 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.
F-25F-26
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 13. 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. 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. 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
leased 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, were 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 was
responsible under the Edison Lease and (ii) environmental claims and compliance
costs relating to matters whichthat 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 whichthat
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 whichthat 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 1998 1997 and 19961997 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's now
discontinued retail operation. Products Corporation provided certain
administrative services, including accounting, for Holdings with respect to the
Edison facility pursuant to which Products Corporation paid on behalf of
Holdings costs associated with the Edison facility and was reimbursed by
Holdings for such costs, less the amount owed by Products Corporation to
Holdings pursuant to the Edison Lease and the occupancy agreement. In August
1998, Holdings sold the Edison facility to an unrelated third party, which
assumed substantially all liability for environmental claims and compliance
costs relating to the Edison facility, and in connection with the sale,
Products Corporation terminated the Edison Lease and entered into a new lease
with the new owner. Holdings agreed to indemnify Products Corporation to the
extent rent under the new lease exceeds rent that would have been payable under
the terminated Edison Lease had it not been terminated. The net amount
reimbursed by Holdings to Products Corporation with respect to the Edison
facility for F-26
1999, 1998 and 1997 was $0.2, $0.5, and 1996 was $0.5, $0.7, and $1.1, respectively.
During 1997, a subsidiary of Products Corporation sold an inactive
subsidiary to a company that was its affiliate during 1997 and part of 1998 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 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.
On February 2, 1998, Revlon Escrow Corp., an affiliate of Products
Corporation, issued and sold in a private placement $650.0 aggregate principal
amount of 8 5/8% Notes and $250.0 aggregate principal amount of 8 1/8% Notes,
with the net proceeds deposited into escrow. The proceeds from the sale of the
8 5/8% and 8 1/8% Notes were used to finance the redemption of Products
Corporation's $555.0 aggregate principal amount of 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") and $260.0 aggregate principal
amount of 9 3/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior 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
F-27
assumed 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"). 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 8 5/8% and 8 1/8% Notes are
fair from a financial standpoint to Products Corporation under the 1999 Notes
Indenture.
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 1999, 1998 1997 and 1996; in Tokyo during 19961997 and in Hong Kong
during 1997 and the first half of 1998. The rent paid to Products Corporation
for 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $1.1, $2.9 and 1996 was $2.9, $3.8, and $4.6,
respectively.
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.
During 1998, approximately $5.7 due to Products Corporation from
Holdings was offset against certain notes payable to Holdings.
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
F-27
stock and certain assets of certain subsidiaries of Holdings and (ii)
until the disposition of the Edison facility in August 1998, a mortgage on the
Edison 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, 1998, 1997 or 1996. The interest rates for such
borrowings are more favorable to Products Corporation than interest rates under
the Credit Agreement and, for borrowings occurring prior to the execution of the
Credit Agreement, the credit facilities in effect at the time of such borrowing.
The amount of interest paid by Products Corporation for such borrowings for
1998, 1997 and 1996 was $0.8, $0.6 and $0.5, respectively.Holdings.
During 1998, Products Corporation made advances of $0.25, $0.3 and $0.3$0.4 to
Mr. Fellows, and Ms. Dwyer respectively.and Mr. Levin, respectively, which advances were repaid
in 1999.
During 1998,1999, Products Corporation made an advance of $0.4 to Mr. Levin, a director of Products Corporation during part
of 1998, which advance was repaid in January 1999.
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 Board. 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.Nugent.
During 1996 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 for 1996.
During 1997, and 1996, Products Corporation used an airplane owned by a corporation
of which Messrs. Gittis Drapkin and during 1996, Levin,Drapkin were the sole stockholders, for which
Products Corporation paid approximately $0.2 and
$0.2 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.in 1997.
During 1998 and 1997, Products Corporation purchased products from a
company that was its affiliate during part of 1998 and all of 1997, for which
it paid approximately $0.4 and $0.9, respectively.
During 1997, Products Corporation provided licensing services to a company
that was its affiliate during 1997 and part of 1998, for which Products
Corporation was paid approximately $0.7 in 1997. In connection with the
termination of the licensing arrangement and its agreement to provide
consulting services during 1998, Products Corporation received payments of $2.0
in 1998 and is entitled to receive an additional $1.0 in 1999.
A company that was an affiliate of Products Corporation during 1996,part of
1999, and during 1998 and 1997 and 1998 assembled lipstick cases for Products
Corporation. Products Corporation paid approximately $0.1, $1.1, $0.9 and $1.0$0.9 for
such services for 1999, 1998 and 1997, and 1996, respectively.
During 1999, Products Corporation made payments of $0.1 to a fitness
center, an interest in which is owned by members of Mr. Drapkin's immediate
family, for discounted health club dues for an executive health program of
Products Corporation.

19. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable operating
segment. See Note 1 for a brief description of the Company's business. As of
December 31, 1998,1999, the Company had operations established in 2628 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 5.4%4.1%, 5.8%5.4% and 6.3%5.8% of the Company's net sales for
1999, 1998 1997 and 1996,1997, respectively. Net sales by geographic area are presented
by attributing revenues from external customers on the basis of where the
products are sold. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, and 1996, one customerWal-Mart and its affiliates
accounted for approximately 10.1%13.1%, 10.3%10.1% and 10.5%10.3% of the Company's
consolidated net sales, respectively. Although the loss of Wal-Mart as a
customer could have an adverse effect on the Company, the Company believes that
its relationship with Wal-Mart is satisfactory and the Company has no reason to
believe that Wal-Mart will not continue as a customer.
