Co. Employees Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and Trust We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Royal Appliance Mfg. Co. Employees Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and Trust (the Plan) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the changes in net assets available for Plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Employees Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and Trust (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for more complete information. GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Royal Appliance Mfg. Co. (the "Company"). Employees who attain age 20-1/2 and complete at least six months of service are eligible to become participants in the Plan. On December 27, 1991, the Company filed Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allowing participants in the Plan to invest in Common Shares of the Company. This investment option was available as of February 1, 1992. As a result, the Plan is now required to comply with the reporting provisions of the SEC Form 11-K. CONTRIBUTIONS - Contributions consist of employer matching, employer profit sharing, salary reduction, voluntary after-tax contributions, and rollover contributions. Employer matching contributions were 75% of the salary reduction contributions that do not exceed 4% of employee compensation for 1994. In 1995, employer matching contributions were 100% of the salary reduction contributions that do not exceed 2% of qualified employee compensation and 50% of the salary reduction contributions greater than 2% but not in excess of 4% of qualified employee compensation. The employer profit sharing contribution is discretionary based on amounts as authorized by the Board of Directors. All employer contributions have been made in the form of cash. Salary reduction contributions may range from 1% to 15% of qualified compensation subject to annual I.R.S. limits. Participants may also make voluntary after-tax contributions of up to 10% of their annual compensation in addition to the contribution through salary reduction. Rollover contributions are also permitted. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS - All of the investment transactions are executed by National City Trust ("National City"), an affiliate of National City Corporation. Each participant may elect among the following investment vehicles: A.

ROYAL STOCK FUND - This fund is comprised exclusively of Common Shares, without par value of the Company (Common Shares). Each participant electing to purchase Common Shares through the Stock Fund is permitted to vote such Common Shares in the same manner as any other shareholder and is furnished proxy materials to such effect. If a participant does not vote their proxy, the Trustee votes the proxy for the participant's Common Shares. Investments in the Stock Fund may be made as of January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 investment dates, but may not, for administrative reasons, be effected until up to 12 days (or such later date as is legally or administratively required) after the relevant quarterly investment date. Common Shares purchased under the Account are generally purchased on the open market for cash. The price of Common Shares purchased on the open market is priced for each participant's account at an average purchase price of all shares purchased, plus brokerage fees, taxes, commissions and expenses incident to the purchase, unless it is determined that the Company will bear these costs. No more than 50% of a participant's contributions may be invested in the Stock Fund. Participants can allocate their contribution between the Funds in various percentages, which can be changed on a quarterly basis throughout the year. The number of participants in each investment program as of December 31, 1995 was as follows: No. of Participants ------------ Institutional Investors' GIC Fund 403 Strong Government Securities Fund 203 Fidelity Puritan Fund 261 Vanguard 500 Portfolio Fund 239 Kaufmann Aggressive Growth Fund 376 Scudder Global Fund 215 Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund 115 New York Venture Fund 298 Royal Stock Fund 247 VESTING - All contributions are 100% vested and non-forfeitable. 8 10 ROYAL APPLIANCE MFG.

Investments in Guaranteed Investment Contracts are recorded at the guaranteed value (contribution and interest) of the Plan assets. Other investments are valued at fair market value by National City using readily available published market values. 3. Income Tax Status: ----------------- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a favorable determination letter dated June 20, 1995, with respect to the Plan's qualified status, as amended, under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code).
