                   STEINER LEISURE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM CONDENSED ONSOLIDATED INANCIAL STATEMENTS:
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The unaudited  condensed  consolidated  statements  of operations  for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 reflect, in the opinion of management,  all
adjustments  (which  include  only normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary to
fairly present the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily  indicative of results for
the full year.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited  financial  statements,
but does not include all disclosures  required by generally accepted  accounting
principles.  The unaudited interim condensed  consolidated  financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997.

(2)  ORGANIZATION:
     ------------
Steiner Leisure Limited  (including its subsidiaries where the context requires,
the  "Company")  and  subsidiaries  provide spa  services and skin and hair care
products  to   passengers  on  board  cruise  ships   worldwide.   The  Company,
incorporated in The Bahamas,  commenced  operations effective November 1995 with
the  contributions  of  substantially  all  of the  assets  and  certain  of the
liabilities of the Maritime Division (the "Maritime  Division") of Steiner Group
Limited,  now known as STGR Limited  ("Steiner  Group"),  a U.K.  company and an
affiliate of the Company,  and all of the  outstanding  common stock of Coiffeur
Transocean  (Overseas),  Inc. ("CTO"), a Florida  corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Steiner Group. The contributions of the net assets of the Maritime
Division  and CTO were  recorded  at  historical  cost in a manner  similar to a
pooling of interests.

(3)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     ------------------------------------------

      (a)  MARKETABLE SECURITIES-

Marketable  securities consist of investment grade commercial paper. The Company
accounts for  marketable  securities in  accordance  with  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 115,  "Accounting for Certain  Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities" and, accordingly,  all such instruments are classified as
"available  for  sale"  securities  which  are  reported  at  fair  value,  with
unrealized  gains and losses reported as a separate  component of  shareholders'
equity.

      (b)  AMORTIZATION-

Intangible  assets were amortized on a straight-line  basis over a 3-year period
ended June 1, 1997. This period  represented  the approximate  remaining life of
the acquired  intangible  assets of CTO, its concession  agreements  with cruise
lines.

Intangible  assets as of March 31, 1998  represent the cost of the  intellectual
property  acquired  by the Company in  connection  with its  investment  in EBSC
International  Limited,  a  Bahamian  company  ("EBSC").  Amortization  of these
intangible  assets  commenced in April 1998,  the month of the effective date of
the first area development agreement entered ito by EBSC (see Note 4).

      (c)  MINORITY INTEREST-

Minority interest  represents the minority  shareholders'  proportional share of
the net assets of EBSC (see Note 4).

      (d)  INCOME TAXES-

The  Company  files  separate  tax  returns for its  domestic  subsidiaries.  In
addition,  the Company's  foreign  subsidiaries file income tax returns in their
respective  countries of  incorporation,  where  required.  The Company  follows
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income
Taxes"  ("SFAS 109").  SFAS No. 109 utilizes the  

                                     - 6 -




liability method and deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future
tax effects of  differences  between the  financial  statement  and tax bases of
assets and  liabilities  given the provisions of enacted tax laws.  SFAS No. 109
permits the  recognition of deferred tax assets.  Deferred income tax provisions
and benefits  are based on the changes to the asset or liability  from period to
period.

In November 1996, the Company liquidated CTO. As a result,  CTO's functions were
assumed by the  Company  and its cruise  line  agreements  were  assigned to the
Company.  The  liquidation  of CTO was a  taxable  transaction  for  income  tax
purposes.  CTO was  treated as if it had sold all of its assets at fair value on
the date of distribution  of these assets to the Company.  Based on the value of
the assets of CTO as determined by an  independent  appraiser,  CTO's income tax
liability  resulting from the liquidation was  approximately  $3.2 million.  The
entire $3.2 million estimated tax liability was paid during the first quarter of
1997.

      (E)  TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES-

Assets and  liabilities  of foreign  subsidiaries  are translated at the rate of
exchange in effect at the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated
at the  average  rates of  exchange  prevailing  during  the year.  The  related
translation  adjustments are reflected in the accumulated translation adjustment
section of the  consolidated  balance sheets.  Foreign currency gains and losses
resulting from transactions,  including intercompany transactions,  are included
in results of operations.

      (F)  EARNINGS PER SHARE-

Basic  earnings  per share is computed by dividing  the net income  available to
shareholders  by the weighted  average shares of outstanding  common stock.  The
calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share
except that the denominator  includes  dilutive common stock equivalents such as
stock options and  warrants.  The  computation  of weighted  average  common and
common  equivalent  shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings
per share is as follows:

                                                     Three Months Ended

                                                  ==========    ==========

      (G)  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS-


In March 1998,  the  Accounting  Standards  Executive  Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("ACSEC") issued Statement of Position
("SOP")  98-1,  "Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software  Developed  or
Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 establishes  criteria for determining which
costs of  developing  or  obtaining  internal-use  computer  software  should be
charged to expense and which should be  capitalized.  SOP 98-1 is effective  for
all transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.
Management  does not believe  that the adoption of SOP 98-1 will have a material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.


In April 1998,  the ACSEC issued SOP 98-5,  "Reporting  on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities."  SOP 98-5 establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of
start-up  costs,  including  organization  costs.  SOP  98-5  is  effective  for
financial statements issued after December 15, 1998. Management does not believe
that the  adoption  of SOP 98-5 will  have a  material  effect on the  Company's
financial position or results of operations.


In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related  Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes  standards for
the way that  public  companies  report  selected  information  about  operating
segments  in annual  and  interim  financial  reports to  shareholders.  It also
establishes  standards for related  disclosures  about an enterprise's  business
segments,  products,  services,  geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No.
131,  which  supersedes  SFAS No. 14,  "Financial  Reporting  for  Segments of a
Business  Enterprise," but retains the requirement 

                                     - 7 -




to report  information  about major  customers,  requires that a public  company
report  financial and  descriptive  information  about its reportable  operating
segments.  Generally,  financial  information  is required to be reported on the
basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding
how to allocate  resources  to  segments.  SFAS No. 131  requires  that a public
company report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and
expense items, and segment assets.  SFAS No. 131 is effective as of December 31,
1998.


(4)  ACQUISITIONS:


In January 1998, the Company,  through EBSC, a Bahamian  international  business
company  ("IBC"),   owned  85%  by  the  Company,   acquired  for  $675,000  the
intellectual property (the "BSC Rights") relating to the Beautiful Skin Centres,
a group of Hong Kong day spas ("BSC"). The Company proposes to franchise the BSC
concept,  initially in Hong Kong and, possibly, in other locations in Asia, and,
subsequently,  elsewhere  that the  Company  deems  appropriate  under  the name
"Elemis  Beautiful  Skin Centre" or similar  names.  The initial  franchise area
development agreement for the operation of Elemis Beautiful Skin Centres in Hong
Kong is with  the  seller  of the BSC  Rights  (the  "Seller"),  which  owns the
remaining 15% of EBSC.


(5)  ACCRUED EXPENSES:

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

      Steiner Leisure  Limited is the leading  provider of spa services and skin
and hair care products on board cruise ships worldwide. The Company, through its
predecessors,  commenced operations on board cruise ships approximately 35 years
ago.  Pursuant  to cruise line  concession  agreements,  the  Company  sells its
services  and  products to cruise  passengers  in return for  payments to cruise
lines,  which payments are based on a percentage of revenues or a minimum annual
rental or a  combination  of both.  Certain  cruise line  concession  agreements
provide for  increases  in the  percentage  of services  and  products  revenues
payable  as rent  payments  and/or,  as the case may be,  the  amount of minimum
annual rental  payments over the terms of such  agreements.  Rental payments may
also be increased under new agreements  with cruise lines that replace  expiring
agreements. In general, the Company has experienced increases in rental payments
upon entering into new agreements with cruise lines.

      The Company is a Bahamian  IBC. The Bahamas  does not tax Bahamian   IBCs.
The Company  believes that income from its maritime  operations  will be foreign
source  income,  which will not be subject  to United  States or United  Kingdom
taxation.  More than 84% of the  Company's  income for the first three months of
1998 is not subject to United States or United Kingdom income tax. To the extent
that the Company's income from  non-maritime  operations  increases at a rate in
excess of any increase in its  maritime-related  income,  the  percentage of the
Company's  income subject to tax would increase.  A United States  subsidiary of
the Company provides administrative services to the maritime operations, and its
earnings from such activities  will generally be subject to U.S.  federal income
tax  at  regular  corporate  rates  (generally  up to  35%)  and is  subject  to
additional  state taxes and may be subject to local income,  franchise and other
taxes. Earnings from Steiner Training Limited and Elemis Limited, United Kingdom
subsidiaries  of the Company which  accounted for a total of 7% of the Company's
pre-tax  income for the first three months of 1998,  will be subject to U.K. tax
rates (generally up to 33%).

     Effective  October 24, 1997 and April 28,  1998,  the Board of Directors of
the  Company  approved  3-for-2  share  splits,  effected  as  share  dividends,
effective for  shareholders of record as of October 13, 1997 and April 14, 1998,
respectively  (collectively,  the  "Share  Splits").  All  per  share  data  and
references to numbers of common shares and the price  thereof  presented  herein
have been, where appropriate, adjusted to give effect to the Share Splits.

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 31, 1998  COMPARED TO THREE  MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997

      REVENUES.  Revenues  increased  approximately  16.7%, or $3.2 million,  to
$22.9  million  in the first  quarter  of 1998 from  $19.7  million in the first
quarter of 1997. Of this increase, $1.9 million was attributable to increases in
services provided on cruise ships and $1.3 million was attributable to increases
in sales of products.  The  increase in revenues  for the first  quarter of 1998
compared to the first quarter of 1997 was primarily  attributable to an increase
of seven in the  average  number of ships in  service  with  enhanced  large spa
facilities  and an  increase of two in the  average  number of non-spa  ships in
service over   the  first quarter of 1997.  The Company had 798 shipboard  staff
members  in service on  average  in the first  quarter of 1998  compared  to 730
shipboard  staff  members in  service  on average in the first  quarter of 1997.
Revenues  per  staff per day  increased  by 6.7% in the  first  quarter  of 1998
compared to the first quarter of 1997.

      COST OF  SERVICES.  Cost of services as a percentage  of services  revenue
decreased to 77.6% in the first  quarter of 1998 from 78.4% in the first quarter
of 1997.  This  decrease was due to increases in  productivity  of onboard staff
during the first  quarter of 1998  compared to the first  quarter  of  1997  and
increased  revenues  on ships  where the  Company is  subject to minimum  annual
rental  payments.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by  increases  in rent
allocable to services on cruise ships covered by an agreement  which was renewed
in 1997 and became effective in the first quarter of 1998.

      COST OF  PRODUCTS.  Cost of products as a percentage  of products  revenue
decreased to 67.9% in the first  quarter of 1998 from 69.1% in the first quarter
of 1997.  This  decrease was due to increases in  productivity  of onboard staff
during  the first  quarter of 1998  compared  to the first  quarter  of 1997,  a
product price increase  implemented  during the first quarter of 1998 as well as
increased  revenues  on ships  where the  Company is  subject to minimum  annual
rental  payments.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by  increases  in rent
allocable to products  sales on cruise ships  covered by an agreement  which was
renewed in 1997 and became effective in the first quarter of 1998.

                                     - 10 -


      OPERATING  EXPENSES.  Operating  expenses  as  a  percentage  of  revenues
decreased to 10.1% in the first  quarter of 1998 from 13.3% in the first quarter
of 1997 as a result of the decrease in goodwill  amortization as a result of the
related  intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the second quarter of
1997.

      PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes decreased to an
overall  effective  rate of 5.3% for the first  quarter  of 1998 from an overall
effective  rate of 8.8% for the first  quarter  of 1997 is  primarily  due to an
increase  in  the proportion of the Company's income  generated  by  non-taxable
subsidiaries.  Without the  amortization of intangibles,  the overall  effective
rate for the three months ended March 31, 1998 would have been 5.3%  compared to
7.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

SEASONALITY

      Although certain cruise lines have experienced moderate  seasonality,  the
Company believes that the introduction of cruise ships into service throughout a
year has  mitigated  the  effect of  seasonality  on the  Company's  results  of
operations. In addition,  decreased passenger loads during slower months for the
cruise  industry has not had a  significant  impact on the  Company's  revenues.
However, due to the Company's  dependence on the cruise industry,  the Company's
revenues may in the future be affected by seasonality.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The  business  of the Company  historically  has been  operated  with cash
generated  from  operations,  and  borrowed  funds have been  utilized  only for
acquisitions and limited capital expenditures.

      In  November  1996,  the Company  issued  1,863,000  of its common  shares
pursuant to the initial  public  offering of its common  shares in November 1996
(the  "IPO")  (which  also  included  shares  of a selling  shareholder),  which
generated   net  proceeds  of   approximately   $9.7  million  to  the  Company.
Approximately  $3.4 million of the net proceeds were used to repay the remaining
outstanding   indebtedness  assumed  by  the  Company  in  connection  with  the
contribution  to the  capital  of the  Company  of the  assets  of the  Maritime
Division  and the  common  stock  of CTO.  During  the  first  quarter  of 1997,
approximately  $3.2  million  of such  proceeds  were used to pay the  estimated
United States federal and state income tax liability incurred in connection with
the liquidation of CTO (the "CTO Tax Payment").  The remaining net proceeds,  in
the  approximate  amount  of $3.1  million,  will be used  for  working  capital
purposes and have been invested in cash  equivalents  and high grade  commercial
paper.

      During the first three months of 1998, cash flow from operating activities
was $2.4 million, compared to $0.4 million (reflecting,  among other things, the
$3.2 million CTO Tax  Payment) for the first three months of 1997.  At March 31,
1998, the Company had working capital of approximately $30.2 million compared to
$25.6 million at December 31, 1997.

      The  Company  has  agreed  to  commit  a total of $3 million to design and
operate  a  luxury  spa  facility  at  the  Atlantis   resort   complex  of  Sun
International  Hotels  Limited on Paradise  Island in Nassau,  The Bahamas.  The
Company  anticipates that such amount will be expended during the second,  third
and fourth  quarters of 1998.  The above  agreement is subject to the terms of a
definitive agreement to be executed by the parties.

      The Company  believes that cash generated from  operations,  together with
the net proceeds  received  from the IPO, will be sufficient to satisfy its cash
requirements  through at least the next twelve  months.  If the Company  were to
engage in any significant acquisition,  it may require additional financing from
a third party. The Company currently does not have any agreement with respect to
an acquisition.

INFLATION

      The Company does not believe  that  inflation  has had a material  adverse
effect on revenues or results of operations.  However, public demand for leisure
activities,  including  cruises,  is influenced by general economic  conditions,
including   inflation.   Periods  of  economic   recession  or  high  inflation,
particularly in North America where a number of cruise passengers reside,  could
have a material adverse effect on the cruise industry, upon which the Company is
dependent.

ITEM 2.      CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
             -----------------------------------------

            On November 12, 1996, the Company's  Registration  Statement on Form
      F-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, File No. 333-5266,  with
      respect to the IPO of its common shares at a price of $5.778 per share was
      declared  effective  by  the  Securities  and Exchange Commission. The IPO
      commenced  on  November  13,  1996.  A total of  1,863,000  common  shares
      (aggregate  offering  price of  $10,764,000)  were  registered and sold on
      behalf of the Company and a total of 9,605,790  common  shares  (aggregate
      offering  price of  $55,500,120)  were  registered and sold on behalf of a
      selling  shareholder.  The net proceeds to the Company from the IPO, after
      deducting total expenses in the amount of $1,060,000,  were  approximately
      $9,704,000.  The IPO terminated,  and all of the securities  registered in
      connection therewith were sold. The managing  underwriters of the IPO were
      Furman Selz LLC and Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

            In  connection  with the IPO,  the Company  incurred  the  following
      estimated expenses for the indicated purposes:

            Underwriting discounts and
              Commissions                                 $753,480

            Expenses paid to or for
              Underwriters                                $  2,265

            Other expenses                                $304,255

            The net  proceeds  to the  Company  from the IPO have been  applied,
      through  March 31, 1998,  in the  following  amounts  toward the indicated
      purposes:

            Repayment of indebtedness                   $3,429,661

            Payment of federal and state
              estimated tax liability                   $3,231,132

            Temporary investment (commercial
              paper, AA+ and AAA rated,
              through a commercial bank)                $3,043,207

            The use of proceeds of the IPO described  above does not represent a
      material change in the use of proceeds  described in the prospectus  which
      formed a part of the Registration Statement.

            None of the payments  described above, other than those with respect
      to  repayment of  indebtedness,  represent  direct or indirect  payment to
      directors,  officers,  general partners of the issuer or their associates;
      persons  owning ten percent or more of any class of equity  securities  of
      the issuer; or affiliates of the issuer.
