                               STANHOME INC.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes

included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit except for

the December 31, 1994 condensed balance sheet, which was derived from the

Annual Report on Form 10-K, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the

Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote

disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been

condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the

Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information

presented not misleading.  The information furnished reflects all normal

recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to

a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  It is suggested

that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the

financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements

included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

December 31, 1994.



1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     The Company's financial statements for the three and six months ended

June 30, 1995 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies

described in Note 1 to the December 31, 1994 consolidated financial

statements included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Marketable securities with maturities of three months or less are

considered to be cash equivalents and amounted to $13,434,000 at June 30,

1995 versus none at December 31, 1994.  Except for $24,000 of other

investments with terms in excess of 90 days, the cash flows' cash and cash

                                    -7-



equivalents at June 30, 1995 are equal to the cash and certificates of

deposit and the marketable securities on the June 30, 1995 balance sheet.

Notes and accounts receivable were net of allowance for doubtful accounts

of $18,494,000 at June 30, 1995 and $15,249,000 at December 31, 1994.

     The Company recognizes revenue as merchandise is turned over to the

shipper.

     The major classes of inventories at June 30 and December 31 were as

4.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE (BASIS OF CALCULATION):

     Earnings per common share are based on the average number of common

shares outstanding and common share equivalents for the periods covered.

For both years, there was no difference in earnings per share between

primary and fully diluted earnings per share computations.  For the second

quarter, the average number of shares utilized in the fully diluted

computation was 18,913,987 and 19,687,813 shares for 1995 and 1994,

respectively.  The average number of shares utilized in the fully diluted

computation for the six months ended June 30 was 19,034,754 for 1995 and

19,691,266 for 1994.  Both 1995 computations included common share

equivalents of 112,814 and both 1994 computations included common share

equivalents of 289,239.  The lower average number of shares for the second

quarter and first six months of 1995 primarily resulted from the

repurchase of shares as part of the Company's repurchase program.

5.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

     The Company enters into various short-term foreign exchange

agreements during the year, all of which are held for purposes other than

trading.  The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities

is to reduce the risk that the eventual settlement of foreign currency

transactions will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.  The

Company's various subsidiaries import products in foreign currencies and

from time to time will enter into agreements or build foreign currency

deposits as a partial hedge against currency fluctuations on inventory

purchases.  Gains and losses on these agreements are deferred and recorded

as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold.  At

June 30, 1995, there were no open inventory purchase agreements and

deferred amounts were not material.  The Company makes short-term foreign



                                    -9-



currency intercompany loans to various international subsidiaries and

utilizes agreements to fully hedge these transactions against currency

fluctuations.  The cost of these agreements is included in the interest

charged to the subsidiaries and expensed monthly as the interest is

accrued.  The intercompany interest eliminates upon consolidation and any

gains and losses on the agreements are recorded as a component of other

income.  The Company receives dividends, technical service fees, royalties

and other payments from its subsidiaries and licensees.  From time to time,

the Company will enter into foreign currency forward agreements as a

partial hedge against currency fluctuations on these current receivables.

Gains and losses are recognized or the credit or debit offsets the foreign

currency payables.  As of June 30, 1995, net deferred amounts on

outstanding agreements were not material and all current agreements have

expiration dates in 1995.  The outstanding agreement amounts (notional

value) at June 30, 1995, are as follows (in thousands):


                   Germany                $ 5,073

6.  LICENSE AGREEMENT:

     In January 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a third

party to license the domestic operations of its Worldwide Direct Selling

Group.  The business licensed, known as Stanley Home Products ("SHP"),

marketed home care, personal care and cosmetic items to consumers through

direct selling programs.  The agreement calls for the third party to

license the trademarks and formulas of SHP for use in the U.S., Puerto Rico



                                   -10-



and Canada, and remit to the Company royalties based on sales of the

related products.  The licensed areas recorded net sales of approximately

$10 million and $19 million in the second quarter and first six months of

1994, respectively, and operating losses of approximately $.3 million and

$1.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 1994,

respectively.  These sales represented approximately 15% of the Worldwide

Direct Selling Group's first six months 1994 net sales and 5% of the

Company's consolidated net sales for the same period.

      The transfer of the businesses was completed in the second quarter of

1995.  In connection with this agreement, the Company closed administrative

and distribution facilities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico during the first

quarter of 1995.  Management believes that the total costs to exit the SHP

operations, including employee severance benefits, will be offset in 1995

by a comparable amount of gains, approximately $6 million, primarily from

the sale of SHP's distribution facilities.  The costs to exit the SHP

operations therefore have not had and are not expected to have a material

adverse impact on the Company's future operating results or financial

condition.

                QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



     BUSINESS SEGMENTS of the Company's operations are summarized on Page

20.  A discussion and analysis of the segments follows:



GIFTWARE

     Giftware Group sales increased for the second quarter and first six

months primarily due to unit volume growth from existing lines and from new

businesses acquired in 1994.  The new businesses accounted for 11% of the

year-to-date 28% increase in sales.  Sales in the second quarter in the

United States benefited from an expansion of the Company's program of

extended accounts receivable terms on Christmas related merchandise.  This

facilitated the shipment of Christmas related orders sooner this year

versus last year.  Consequently, the rate of sales increase achieved in the

second quarter is not expected to be maintained for the balance of the

year.  International results increased and, including the new businesses,

international sales represented 15% of year-to-date 1995 sales compared to

10% in 1994.  Year-to-date 1995 sales of the Precious Moments line

represented 48% of total sales compared to 50% in 1994 and the Cherished

Teddies line represented 10% of year-to-date sales in 1995 compared to 16%

in 1994.  For the second quarter and first six months, operating profit

increased greater than the sales increase, as a result of a lower

percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses principally due

to the favorable impact of the sales increase on fixed costs.



                                   -12-



DIRECT RESPONSE

     Direct Response Group sales increased in the second quarter and first

six months due principally to unit volume growth in dolls and figurines.

International sales and operating losses increased for the quarter and year-

to-date.  International sales represented 10% of the first six months sales

compared to 9% in 1994.  Year-to-date total Group doll sales accounted for

33% of 1995 sales compared to 27% in 1994, while plate sales accounted for

43% of sales in 1995 compared to 58% in 1994.  All other categories of

sales, which are primarily figurines, increased to 24% of sales in 1995

compared to 15% in 1994.  Market conditions for the direct response

businesses for the Company's products continue to be soft and very

competitive with many product offerings and ads going against weakness in

consumer spending.  These conditions have significantly increased

advertising expense to sales due to reduced response rates to ads, a lower

success rate for product introductions, and a resistance by customers to

higher prices.  Additionally, product returns and bad debts on installment

billing programs have increased.  Reflecting these poor market conditions

combined with postage, paper and advertising rate increases, the Group

recorded an operating loss for the second quarter and first six months.

Advertising expenses increased to 51% of sales in 1995 versus 46% in 1994.

If the market conditions do not improve, it is expected that the Group's

operating performance will not improve for the balance of the year.



DIRECT SELLING

     Comparable Direct Selling results for the second quarter and first

six months excluding the United States and Puerto Rico operations, which

in 1995 have been licensed to a third party, are as follows:



                                   -13-

       Operating profit       11,335      14,384     ( 21)


European sales for the quarter decreased 1%, were even with 1994 for the

first six months, and represented 90% of total 1995 sales.  Operating

profit decreased 12% for the second quarter and 16% for the first six

months, and represented 93% of total 1995 operating profit.  For the

quarter and year-to-date, lower sales in Italy combined with higher

selling, general and administrative expenses in Italy reduced operating

margins.  First six months 1995 European local currency sales and

operating profit translated at 1994 average exchange rates would have

resulted in a 5% sales decrease and a 21% operating profit decrease.

Sales for the Mexican and Venezuelan group decreased 42% and 41%,

respectively, for the second quarter and first six months resulting

primarily from the devaluation of the Mexican peso compared to 1994.  The

group's second quarter and year-to-date operating profit decreased 70% and

59%, respectively, due to the peso devaluation and the resulting

unfavorable economic impact.  The United States and Puerto Rico direct

selling operations in 1995 have been assumed by a third party.  The assets

of these businesses, not assumed by the third party, have been and are

being disposed during 1995 and, as of June 30, 1995, amounted to $5.8

                                   -14-



million in inventories and $1.7 million of net property plant and

equipment.  The severance and other exit costs are expected to approximate

$6 million, which should be offset by gains on the sale of assets of the

business.


     GENERAL CORPORATE EXPENSE increased for the quarter and first six

months due to higher compensation and benefits consistent with the Company

programs.


INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIES AND CURRENCY

     The Latin American operations in Mexico and Venezuela have experienced

highly inflationary economies with rapidly changing prices in local

currencies.  These conditions, with the resulting adverse impact on local

economies, have made it difficult for operations in these locations to

achieve consistent adequate operating margins.  In addition, the

strengthening of the dollar versus Latin American currencies has resulted

in lower U.S. dollar results for these operations.  European operations

were favorably impacted by higher currency translation rates in 1995

compared to 1994.  The value of the U.S. dollar versus international

currencies where the Company conducts business will continue to impact the

future results of these businesses.  In addition to the currency risks, the

Company's international operations, including sources of imported products,

are subject to other risks of doing business abroad, including import or

export restrictions and changes in economic and political climates.

     The fluctuations in net sales and operating profit margins from

quarter to quarter are partially due to the seasonal characteristics of the

Company's business segments.



                                   -15-



INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME, NET

     Net interest expense increased due to higher borrowing levels

principally for the 1994 acquisitions and the stock buy back program.

Other assets amortization of goodwill increased due to the impact from the

1994 acquisitions.  The year-to-date amortization for Giftware in 1995 was

$1.7 million compared to $.9 million in 1994 and the amortization for

Direct Response was $.3 million in 1995 and $.3 million in 1994.  Year-to-

date other income, net last year includes a $.4 million gain on the sale

of a U.S. distribution center.



     THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE year-to-date of 46% was the same as 1994

despite international rate increases, and higher non deductible goodwill

in 1995.  This was due principally to earnings mix with a lower ratio of

foreign income to United States income, which has a lower rate.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company has historically satisfied its capital requirements with

internally generated funds and short-term loans.  Working capital

requirements have seasonal variations during the year and are generally

greatest during the third quarter.

     The major sources of funds from operating activities in the first six

months of 1995 were from net income, depreciation, amortization and lower

inventory levels.  The major uses were increased accounts receivable which

increased due to the higher sales volume and marketing programs

(particularly the expansion of the Company's Giftware program of extended

accounts receivable terms on Christmas related merchandise); increased

prepaid expenses from higher advertising in direct response; lower

accounts payable and accrued expenses due principally to timing and the

                                   -16-



payment of year end payrolls and benefits; and lower accrued taxes due to

timing of payments.  The first six months 1995 working capital increases

in receivables, inventories and prepaids compared to 1994 reflect

increases to support higher levels of sales.

     The major uses of cash in investing activities in the first six

months of 1995 were for capital expenditures and payments related to

acquisition liabilities.  Capital expenditure commitments for $15 million

are forecasted for 1995.  Due to the Company's exit from the United States

direct selling business, the Company has for sale four United States

distribution facilities with a total appraised value of approximately $7

million.  The Company has an acquisition program, and may utilize funds

for this purpose in the future.  The Italian subsidiary invests excess

cash in short-term investments which change from time to time based on

availability and rates.  The level of changes of marketable securities

from period to period principally represents investment alternatives

versus certificates of deposit, time deposits, and intercompany loans.

     The major uses of cash in financing activities were for dividends to

shareholders and purchases of common stock.  Purchases of common stock

principally included shares repurchased by the Company.  During the first

six months this year, the Company repurchased 406,500 shares for

$11,711,000.  The Company has an authorized program to purchase shares of

stock for the Company treasury from time to time in the open market,

depending on market conditions, and may utilize funds for this purpose in

the future.  On June 6, 1995, the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares was

newly authorized and, at June 30, 1995, 1,991,000 shares remained

available for purchase under the program.  The Company's earnings, cash

flow, and available debt capacity have made and make stock repurchases, in

the Company's view, one of its best investment alternatives.  The major

                                   -17-



source of funds for the seasonal working capital requirements, investing

activities and financing activities was an increase in borrowings, which

also increased due to reduced intercompany loans which fluctuate depending

on market condition rates.  Total stock options outstanding at the

exercise price amounted to $86 million at June 30, 1995 and the Company

could receive these funds in the future if the options are exercised.

     In August 1995 the Company entered into a five year $200 million

multicurrency revolving credit agreement with various banks which can be

used for working capital, investing and financing activities.  The

agreement has an annual facility and agency fee as well as a margin

supplement for Eurocurrency rate loans where more than one third of the

commitment is utilized.  The agreement contains financial covenants that

include requirements, as defined, for minimum net worth, interest coverage

and maximum borrowings.  None of these covenants is expected to have an

adverse effect on the Company's ability to operate in the future.  The

Company currently believes that cash from operations and available

financing alternatives are adequate to meet anticipated requirements for

working capital, dividends, capital expenditures, the stock repurchase

program and other needs.

     Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus international

currencies affect the U.S. dollar translation value of international

currency denominated balance sheet items.  The changes in the balance sheet

dollar values due to international currency translation fluctuations are

recorded as a component of shareholders' equity.  International currency

fluctuations of $1,470,000 reduced the cumulative translation component

which reduced the shareholders' equity decrease in the first six months of

1995.  The translation adjustments to the balance sheet that produced the



                                   -18-



1995 change in the cumulative translation component of shareholders' equity

were decreases in working capital by $802,000; increases in net property,

plant and equipment and other assets by $2,271,000; and decreases in long-

term liabilities by $1,000.  The Company depends upon its international

operations to pay dividends and to make other payments to the Company. The

Company's international operations are subject to the risks of doing

business abroad including currency, economic and political.
