Business Summary
Tristar Corporation is engaged in developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing value-oriented designer alternative fragrances, complementary products to those fragrances, and cosmetic pencils in North and South America. The Company also manufactures and markets its own original fragrances in the form of contemporary botanical scents and lifestyle fragrances. The Company's fragrances are sold under the Fragrance Impressions Ltd., Euro Collections, Euro Garden Collections, Royal Selections, Regal Collections, Club Exclusif, Premiere Editions and American Dreams brands. The Company also markets eye and lip liner cosmetic pencils, mascara and other value-oriented complementary cosmetic products, including lipsticks that are alternatives to major prestige brands sold in department stores, priced at levels significantly lower than original designer brands. In July 2001, the Company announced that it plans to seek protection under Federal Bankruptcy laws as soon as practicable.

Financial Summary
Tristar Corporation develops, manufactures, markets and distributes designer value oriented designer alternative fragrances, complementary products to those fragrances, and cosmetic pencils. For the 26 weeks ended 2/24/01, net sales fell 18% to $22.3 million. Net loss applicable to Common totalled $1.6 million, up from $599 thousand. Results reflect lower volume in the U.S. and Latin American wholesale markets, an unfavorable sales mix, and higher revolving credit balances.
