NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in millions, except per share data)

(1)    Basis of Presentation

REV Holdings LLC ("REV Holdings" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a Delaware limited liability company. REV Holdings conducts its business exclusively through its indirect subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Products Corporation"). Products Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Revlon, Inc.

Until March 24, 2004, the Company owned (a) 11,650,000 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A common stock (the "Class A Common Stock"), (b) all of the outstanding 31,250,000 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class B common stock (the "Class B Common Stock" and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), (c) all of the outstanding 546 shares of Revlon, Inc. Series A preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and (d) all of the outstanding 4,333 shares of Revlon, Inc. Series B convertible preferred stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") (which were convertible, in the aggregate, into 433,333 shares of Class A Common Stock). This ownership represented approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and approximately 92% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock.

On March 25, 2004, in connection with the Revlon Exchange Transactions (as hereinafter defined), Revlon, Inc. issued 299,969,493 shares of Class A Common Stock (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements), including 9,169,333 shares of Class A Common Stock to REV Holdings in exchange for all of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of consummating the Revlon Exchange Transactions, the Company owned, as March 25, 2004 and as of September 30, 2004, 20,819,333 shares of Class A Common Stock and 31,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (representing approximately 14% of the Common Stock and approximately 51% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company continue to include the financial results of Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The REV Holdings membership interest is owned by its sole member, Revlon Holdings LLC ("Holdings"), whose membership interest, in turn, is owned indirectly by Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings" and, together with its affiliates, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), a corporation owned by Ronald O. Perelman. Until March 24, 2004, Mafco Holdings beneficially indirectly owned approximately 83% of the Common Stock (which represented approximately 97% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock), including shares held directly by its wholly owned subsidiary, MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews Holdings"). As a result of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Mafco Holdings beneficially indirectly owned, as March 25, 2004 and as of September 30, 2004, approximately 59.9% of the Common Stock (representing approximately 77.2% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock).

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.

The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reporting of revenues and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The results of operations and financial position, including working capital, for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for a full year.

REV HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share data)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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 interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of Class A Common Stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire such stock.

The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income as if the Company had applied the fair value method to its stock-based compensation (including 23.1 million stock option awards and 4.5 million restricted shares issued under the Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan during the second quarter of 2004) under the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and amended disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 123":

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not necessarily indicative of future amounts.

(2)    Post-retirement Benefits

Pension:

A substantial portion of Products Corporation's employees in the U.S. are covered by defined benefit pension plans. The Company uses September 30 as its measurement date for plan obligations and assets.

Other Post-retirement Benefits:

Products Corporation also has sponsored an unfunded retiree benefit plan, which provides death benefits payable to beneficiaries of a very limited number of employees and former employees. Participation in this plan is limited to participants enrolled as of December 31, 1993. Products Corporation also administers a medical insurance plan on behalf of Holdings, the cost of which has been apportioned to Holdings under the reimbursement agreements among Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews Holdings. The Company uses September 30 as its measurement date for plan obligations and assets.

In December of 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Medicare Act") was enacted in the U.S. The Medicare Act introduced both a Medicare prescription-drug benefit and a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health-care plans that provide a benefit at least "actuarially equivalent" to the Medicare benefit. Certain of the Company's post-retirement benefit plans do provide for such prescription-drug benefits. The Company has made a one-time election to defer accounting for the economic effects of the Medicare Act, as permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003".

REV HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share data)

In May 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" which provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Medicare Act. FASB Staff Position 106-2, which requires measurement of the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation ("APBO") and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to reflect the effects of the Medicare Act, supercedes FASB Staff Position 106-1. FASB Staff Position 106-2 is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The Company has not fully evaluated the impact of the Medicare Act's benefits and subsidies on the Company's accumulated benefit obligation for applicable post-retirement benefits. The Company has also not determined what changes would be required to the current benefits provided to allow the Company to qualify for the federal subsidy. Management believes that the provisions of the Medicare Act will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the pension and the other post-retirement benefit plans for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:


  Pension Plans Other

Employer Contributions:

The Company previously disclosed in the notes to its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, that it expected to contribute approximately $40 in cash to its pension plans and $1 to its post-retirement benefit plans in 2004. As a result of the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 that was passed in April 2004, the Company lowered its estimate of expected contributions in 2004 to $34. As of September 30, 2004, a total of $30 of contributions had been made to the pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The Company presently anticipates contributing the remaining $4 to the pension and post-retirement benefit plans by December 2004.

(6)    Restructuring Costs

During the third quarter of 2000, the Company initiated a new restructuring program in line with the original restructuring plan developed in late 1998, designed to improve profitability by reducing personnel and consolidating manufacturing facilities. The 2000 restructuring program focused on the Company's plans to close its manufacturing operations in Phoenix, Arizona and Mississauga, Canada and to consolidate its cosmetics production into its plant in Oxford, North Carolina. The 2000 restructuring program also includes the remaining obligation for excess leased real estate in the Company's headquarters, consolidation costs associated with the Company closing its facility in New Zealand, and the elimination of several domestic and international executive and operational positions, each of which were effected to reduce and streamline corporate overhead costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company revised its estimate of the cost to be incurred related to the previous restructuring program. Additionally, during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004 the Company recorded $0.6 and $0.9, respectively, for employee severance and other personnel benefits. In 2003, the Company recorded separate charges of $5.9 ($0.9 of which was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2003) for employee severance and other personnel benefits for 421 employees in certain International operations, as to which 363 employees had been terminated as of September 30, 2004.

(8)    Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward exchange contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, were entered into primarily to hedge anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in foreign currencies, which have maturities of less than one year. Any unrecognized income (loss) related to these contracts are recorded in the Statement of Operations primarily in cost of goods sold when the underlying transactions hedged are realized (e.g., when inventory is sold or intercompany transactions are settled). Products Corporation enters into these contracts with a counterparty that is a major financial institution, and accordingly the Company believes that the risk of counterparty nonperformance is remote. The notional amount of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was $38.0 and $8.3, respectively. The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was $(1.0) and $(0.8), respectively.

Revlon Exchange Transactions

On February 12, 2004, Revlon, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors had approved agreements with Fidelity Management & Research Co. ("Fidelity") and MacAndrews & Forbes intended to dramatically strengthen Products Corporation's balance sheet (the "Debt Reduction Transactions"). As a result, Products Corporation's debt was reduced by approximately $804 on March 25, 2004.

Fidelity and MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to tender or to cause to be tendered for exchange in exchange offers (together with the other contemporaneously closed Debt Reduction Transactions described below, the "Revlon Exchange Transactions") an aggregate of approximately $441 of Products Corporation's outstanding 8 1/8% Senior Notes, 9% Senior Notes and 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (each as hereinafter defined and collectively, the "Revlon Exchange Notes") for shares of Class A Common Stock, at a ratio of 400 shares of Class A Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Products Corporation's 8 1/8% Senior Notes or 9% Senior Notes tendered for exchange and 300 shares of Class A Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Products Corporation's 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes tendered for exchange. The agreements gave Fidelity the right to elect to receive cash or additional shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of accrued interest payable on the notes it tendered. MacAndrews & Forbes received Class A Common Stock in respect of its accrued interest.

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

In the Revlon Exchange Transactions, which closed on March 25, 2004, holders other than MacAndrews & Forbes and Fidelity were offered the opportunity to exchange their Revlon Exchange Notes for (i) shares of Class A Common Stock at the same exchange ratios or, under certain conditions, (ii) cash up to a maximum of $150 aggregate principal amount of tendered Revlon Exchange Notes, subject to proration. Notes tendered for cash were to receive $830 per $1,000 principal amount for the 8 1/8% Senior Notes, $800 per $1,000 principal amount for the 9% Senior Notes and $620 per $1,000 principal amount for the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes. Accrued interest was also to be paid on tendered notes in cash or additional shares of Class A Common Stock, at the holder's option. As discussed in more detail below, at the close of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, no cash was paid for any principal amount of the Revlon Exchange Notes.

As part of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, MacAndrews & Forbes also received Class A Common Stock in respect of any and all outstanding amounts owing to it, as of the closing date of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, under the Mafco $100 million term loan (which was approximately $109.7 at March 25, 2004, including accrued interest), the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan (which was approximately $38.9 at March 25, 2004, including accrued interest), the Mafco $65 million line of credit (which was nil at March 25, 2004) (each as such loan and line of credit is hereinafter defined) and approximately $24.1 of subordinated promissory notes (the "Loan Conversion Transactions"). Each $1,000 principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Mafco $100 million term loan and the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan was exchanged for 400 shares of Class A Common Stock, and each $1,000 principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the subordinated promissory notes was exchanged for 300 shares of Class A Common Stock. The portions of the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan and the Mafco $65 million line of credit not exchanged in the Loan Conversion Transactions remained available to Products Corporation, subject to the "Borrowing Limitation" (as hereinafter defined), which Borrowing Limitation was subsequently eliminated.

Revlon, Inc. agreed with Fidelity not to permit Products Corporation to have outstanding aggregate borrowings, at any time following the close of the Revlon Exchange Transactions and until the termination of the Stockholders Agreement (as described below), under the Mafco $65 million line of credit and the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan in excess of approximately $87 (the "Borrowing Limitation"). Such Borrowing Limitation was subsequently eliminated.

REV Holdings owned all of Revlon, Inc.'s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $54.6, and all of the Series B Preferred Stock. As part of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to cause REV Holdings to exchange each $1,000 of liquidation preference on its shares of Series A Preferred Stock for 160 shares of Class A Common Stock and to convert its shares of Series B Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 433,333 shares of Class A Common Stock.

In another contemporaneous transaction to the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. and Fidelity entered into a stockholders agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Revlon, Inc. agreed to continue to maintain a majority of independent directors (as defined by New York Stock Exchange listing standards) on its Board of Directors, as it currently does; and (ii) Revlon, Inc. would establish and maintain a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, which it formed in March 2004. The Stockholders Agreement will terminate at such time as Fidelity ceases to be the beneficial holder of at least 5% of Revlon, Inc.'s outstanding voting stock. Also, in conjunction with the Revlon Exchange Transactions, in February 2004, Products Corporation entered into various amendments to a credit agreement that it entered into on November 30, 2001 and which was scheduled to mature on May 30, 2005 (as amended, the "2001 Credit Agreement"), one of which added a new $64.4 term loan facility to the 2001 Credit Agreement (the "Exchange Bank Amendments"), which agreement was subsequently refinanced in July 2004, as discussed below.

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

As a result of the consummation of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, approximately $133.8 principal amount of the 8 1/8% Senior Notes, approximately $174.5 principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes and approximately $322.9 principal amount of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes were exchanged for an aggregate of approximately 224.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock, including such shares issued in exchange for accrued interest on the Revlon Exchange Notes. Such amount of Revlon Exchange Notes exchanged included approximately $1.0 of the 9% Senior Notes and approximately $286.7 of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes tendered by MacAndrews & Forbes and other entities related to it; and approximately $85.9 of the 9% Senior Notes, approximately $77.8 of the 8 1/8% Senior Notes and approximately $32.1 of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes tendered by funds and accounts managed by Fidelity.

MacAndrews & Forbes also exchanged approximately $109.7 of existing indebtedness (including principal and accrued interest) under the Mafco $100 million term loan for approximately 43.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock, approximately $38.9 of existing indebtedness (including principal and accrued interest) under the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan for approximately 15.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately $24.1 of indebtedness under certain subordinated promissory notes payable to MacAndrews & Forbes for approximately 7.2 million shares of Class A Common Stock. REV Holdings exchanged all of Revlon, Inc.'s previously outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate of approximately 8.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock and converted all of its shares of Revlon, Inc.'s previously outstanding Series B Preferred Stock into 433,333 shares of Class A Common Stock. In connection with closing the Revlon Exchange Transactions on March 25, 2004, Mafco Holdings executed a joinder agreement to the Revlon, Inc. registration rights agreement pursuant to which all Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Mafco Holdings will be deemed to be registerable securities.

The consummation of the Revlon Exchange Transactions on March 25, 2004, in which Revlon, Inc. issued 299,969,493 shares of Class A Common Stock (and transferred the Revlon Exchange Notes and other exchanged indebtedness to Products Corporation for cancellation) resulted in (i) the reduction of indebtedness of $803.9 and accrued interest thereon of $9.9, (ii) the exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, (iv) an increase to additional paid-in-capital of $414.2 which resulted from such issuance of Class A Common Stock to MacAndrews & Forbes and other entities related to it, (v) a gain of $363.6 resulting from such issuance of Class A Common Stock to third parties, (vi) an increase in additional paid-in-capital of $49.9 which resulted from the exchange of indebtedness and accrued interest thereon by MacAndrews & Forbes and other entities related to it and represented the difference between the market value at March 25, 2004 of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and the principal amount of the indebtedness together with accrued interest thereon and (vii) a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $15.5 which resulted from the exchange of indebtedness and accrued interest thereon by third parties and represented the difference between the market value at March 25, 2004 of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and the principal amount of the indebtedness exchanged together with accrued interest thereon. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $17.1 in connection with the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount, estimated fees and expenses.

In connection with consummating the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. announced that its previously announced plan to launch a rights offering and use the proceeds to reduce debt by a further $50 by year-end 2004 was reduced to $9.7, as a result of $190.3 of Revlon Exchange Notes having been exchanged in excess of the Revlon Exchange Notes committed to be exchanged by MacAndrews & Forbes and Fidelity under their respective support agreements. This $190.3 more than satisfied Revlon, Inc.'s plan to reduce debt through the Revlon Exchange Offers by $150 in addition to the Revlon Exchange Notes that were committed to be exchanged in the support agreements with MacAndrews & Forbes and Fidelity. The $40.3 difference satisfied all but $9.7 of the Company's plan to reduce debt (in addition to the Revlon Exchange Notes) by a further $50 by year-end 2004. Because the costs and

14




REV HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share data)

expenses, as well as the use of organizational resources, associated with a $9.7 rights offering would have been unduly disproportionate, Revlon, Inc.'s support and investment agreements with MacAndrews & Forbes and Fidelity relating to the Company's debt reduction plan were amended to enable Revlon, Inc. to satisfy the remaining $9.7 of debt reduction as part of the final stage of the Company's debt reduction plan. Therefore, the Company now intends to conduct an equity offering of approximately $110 by the end of March 2006 and to use such proceeds to reduce debt. Consistent with agreements between MacAndrews & Forbes and Revlon, Inc. entered into contemporaneously with the agreements relating to the Revlon Exchange Transactions, MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to back-stop the $110 equity offering.

Prior to the Revlon Exchange Transactions, in December 2003, Revlon, Inc.'s Board approved two loans from MacAndrews Holdings, one to provide up to $100 million, if needed, to enable the Company to continue to implement and refine its plan, and the other to provide an additional $25 million to be used for general corporate purposes. In January 2004, such loans were consolidated into one term loan agreement (the "2004 Mafco $125 million term loan"). In July 2004, in connection with the New Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan and the Mafco $65 million line of credit were consolidated into a single 2004 Senior Unsecured Supplemental Line of Credit (the "Consolidated Mafco line of credit") with availability of $152, representing the balance of remaining principal available under the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan (after giving effect to the portion of such loan that was exchanged for equity) and the Mafco $65 million line of credit following the Revlon Exchange Transactions. Principal and accrued interest of $38.9 under the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan was converted into shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Revlon Exchange Transactions.

Products Corporation's EBITDA (as defined in the 2001 Credit Agreement) was $144.4 for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2003, which was less than the minimum of $230 required under the 2001 Credit Agreement for that period and Products Corporation's leverage ratio was 1.66:1.00, which was in excess of the maximum ratio of 1.10:1.00 permitted under the 2001 Credit Agreement for that period. Accordingly, Products Corporation sought and on January 28, 2004 secured waivers of compliance with these covenants for the four quarters ended December 31, 2003. In light of the Company's expectation that its plan would affect Products Corporation's ability to comply with these covenants during 2004, Products Corporation also secured an amendment to eliminate the EBITDA and leverage ratio covenants under the 2001 Credit Agreement for the first three quarters of 2004 and a waiver of compliance with such covenants for the four quarters ending December 31, 2004, expiring on January 31, 2005 (the "January 2004 Bank Amendment"). In July 2004, the 2001 Credit Agreement was repaid and refinanced.

On October 17, 2003, REV Holdings filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities & Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to an offer to exchange (the "REV Holdings Exchange Offer") its 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2004 (the "REV Holdings Notes") for 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2007 (the "New REV Holdings Notes"). The REV Holdings Exchange Offer was consummated on January 21, 2004. In connection therewith, REV Holdings issued $18.5 principal amount of New REV Holdings Notes in exchange for a like principal amount of REV Holdings Notes. In addition, at maturity on February 1, 2004, REV Holdings' parent contributed $7.9 principal amount of REV Holdings Notes it held and $54.1 of cash to retire the remaining outstanding REV Holdings Notes. Accordingly, the REV Holdings Notes were classified as long-term debt – affiliates in the audited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003.

The New REV Holdings Notes, which bear interest semi-annually and mature on February 1, 2007, are secured by a pledge of 104 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of New REV Holdings Notes, including all dividends, cash instruments and property and proceeds from time to time received in respect of the foregoing shares (collectively, the "Collateral"). In addition, the indenture governing the New REV Holdings Notes (the "New Indenture") contains covenants that, among other

15




REV HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share data)

things, limit, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the New Indenture, the following: (i) the issuance of additional debt and redeemable stock by REV Holdings, (ii) the creation of additional liens on the Collateral (other than the lien created by the New Indenture), (iii) the payment of dividends on capital stock of REV Holdings and the redemption of capital stock of REV Holdings or any of its direct or indirect parents, (iv) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock (including by way of consolidations, mergers and similar transactions), and (v) transactions with affiliates.

In connection with the REV Holdings Exchange Offer, GSB Investments Corp., an affiliate of the Company, entered into an agreement with REV Holdings (the "New Keepwell Agreement") which replaced the prior keepwell agreement (the "Keepwell Agreement"), pursuant to which GSB Investments Corp. has agreed to provide REV Holdings with funds equal to any interest payment due on the New REV Holdings Notes, to the extent that REV Holdings does not have sufficient funds on hand to make such payment on the applicable due date. REV Holdings currently anticipates that it will use advances under the New Keepwell Agreement to pay interest when due under the New REV Holdings Notes.

The New Indenture contains customary events of default for debt instruments of such type. The New Indenture includes a cross-acceleration provision, which provides that it shall be an event of default under the New Indenture if any debt of REV Holdings or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined in the New Indenture), is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders of such debt because of a default and the total principal amount of the portion of such debt that is unpaid or accelerated exceeds $25.0 and such default continues for 10 days after notice from the trustee under the New Indenture. If any such event of default occurs, the trustee under the New Indenture or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding New REV Holdings Notes may declare all such notes to be due and payable immediately, provided that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the New REV Holdings Notes may, by notice to the trustee, waive any such default or event of default and its consequences under the New Indenture.

GSB Investments Corp. has advised REV Holdings that it expects either to have cash flow from dividends on its investments or to obtain capital contributions from its affiliates that, in the aggregate, will be sufficient to satisfy its obligations under the New Keepwell Agreement. There can be no assurance, however, that GSB Investments Corp. (a) will have such cash flow, because, among other things, a portion of its investments are pledged and its investees are under no obligation to pay dividends, or (b) could obtain any such contribution or loan because, among other things, its affiliates are under no obligation to provide them to GSB Investments Corp.

The New Keepwell Agreement will terminate at such time as there are no New REV Holdings Notes outstanding, at which time GSB Investments Corp. may require repayment of advances under the New Keepwell Agreement. On February 1, 2004, GSB Investments Corp. made a non-interest bearing advance of $4.5 to REV Holdings under the Keepwell Agreement, which was used to make the interest payment due on the REV Holdings Notes on February 1, 2004. The obligation under the Keepwell Agreement of $28.4 at maturity of the REV Holdings Notes on February 1, 2004 was contributed to the capital of REV Holdings in April 2004. On August 1, 2004, GSB Investments Corp. made a non-interest bearing advance of $1.2 under the New Keepwell Agreement, which was used to make the interest payment due on the New REV Holdings Notes on August 1, 2004.

Tender Offer and New Credit Agreement

On June 22, 2004, Products Corporation commenced a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of the $363.0 aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 12% Senior Secured Notes, as part of a planned comprehensive debt refinancing designed to extend the maturities of a significant amount of its debt which would otherwise be due in 2005.

On July 8, 2004, Products Corporation announced that the total consideration payable in the Tender Offer would be $1,122.24 for each $1,000 principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Notes purchased in

16




REV HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —(Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share data)

the Tender Offer, plus accrued but unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date. Such purchase price included a consent payment of $20.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes payable to holders who validly tendered and did not withdraw their 12% Senior Secured Notes before 5:00 p.m. EDT on July 8, 2004. Such purchase price was determined by reference to a fixed spread of 75 basis points over the bid side yield (as quoted on Bloomberg screen PX4 at 2:00 p.m. EDT on July 8, 2004) of the 1.875% U.S. Treasury note due November 30, 2005.

On July 9, 2004, in connection with the initial settlement of the Tender Offer (the "Initial Settlement"), Products Corporation purchased approximately $298 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Notes, representing approximately 82% of the total outstanding principal amount of such 12% Senior Secured Notes, and equal to the notes tendered through 5:00 p.m. EDT on July 8, 2004 for a purchase price of approximately $338.3 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest).

The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. EDT on July 21, 2004. On July 22, 2004, Products Corporation purchased approximately $0.4 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Notes, which was the amount of such notes tendered following the Initial Settlement through the expiration of the Tender Offer, for a purchase price of approximately $0.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest).

In connection with the expiration of the Tender Offer, Products Corporation also redeemed on August 23, 2004 all of the approximately $64.5 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Notes that remained outstanding following the July 21, 2004 expiration of the Tender Offer at the redemption price of approximately $73.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest), calculated in accordance with the indenture governing Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes (the "12% Notes Indenture").

On July 9, 2004, Products Corporation entered into a new credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with certain of its subsidiaries as local borrowing subsidiaries, a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members change from time to time, and Citicorp USA, Inc., as multi-currency administrative agent, term loan administrative agent and collateral agent. The New Credit Agreement provides up to $960.0 and consists of a $800.0 term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and a $160.0 asset based multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "Multi-Currency Facility") (the Term Loan Facility and the Multi-Currency Facility are referred to as the "New Credit Facilities"). The Multi-Currency Facility is available to: (i) Products Corporation in revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars, (ii) Products Corporation in standby and commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars up to $50.0 and (iii) Products Corporation and certain of its international subsidiaries designated from time to time in revolving credit loans and bankers' acceptances denominated in U.S. dollars and other currencies (the "Local Loans"), in each case subject to borrowing base availability that is determined based on the value of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and equipment from time to time.

The Multi-Currency Facility will terminate on July 9, 2009 and the loans under the Term Loan Facility will mature on July 9, 2010; provided that the New Credit Facilities will terminate on October 31, 2005 if Products Corporation's 8 1/8% Senior Notes are not redeemed, repurchased or defeased in full on or before such date, on July 31, 2006 if Products Corporation's 9% Senior Notes are not redeemed, repurchased or defeased in full on or before such date, and on October 30, 2007 if Products Corporation's 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are not redeemed, repurchased or defeased on or before such date such that not more than $25.0 in aggregate principal amount of such 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes remains outstanding.

Products Corporation used the proceeds of borrowings under the New Credit Agreement to repay in full the $290.5 of outstanding indebtedness (including accrued interest) under Products Corporation's 2001 Credit Agreement, to purchase the approximately $298 aggregate principal amount of Products

17

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes tendered at the Initial Settlement of the Tender Offer for a purchase price of approximately $338.3 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest), to purchase the additional approximately $0.4 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes tendered following the Initial Settlement through the expiration of the Tender Offer for a purchase price of approximately $0.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest), to redeem the approximately $64.5 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes that were outstanding after the expiration of the Tender Offer for a redemption price of approximately $73.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest), and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Tender Offer and the Revlon Exchange Transactions, including the payment of expenses related to a refinancing that Products Corporation launched in May 2004 but did not consummate. The balance of such proceeds is available to Products Corporation for general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the Multi-Currency Facility (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear interest at a rate equal to, at Products Corporation's option, either (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50%; or (B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.50%. Loans in foreign currencies bear interest in certain limited circumstances or if mutually acceptable to Products Corporation and the relevant foreign lenders at the Local Rate, and otherwise at the Eurocurrency Rate, in each case plus 2.50%. The loans under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at Products Corporation's option, either (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus 5.00%; or (B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 6.00%. At September 30, 2004, the weighted average rate for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility was 7.73%. Products Corporation pays to those lenders under the Multi-Currency Facility a commitment fee of 0.50% of the average daily unused portion of the Multi-Currency Facility, which fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Under the Multi-Currency Facility, Products Corporation pays (i) to foreign lenders a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans (which fee is retained by the foreign lenders out of the portion of the Applicable Margin payable to such foreign lender), (ii) to foreign lenders an administrative fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans, (iii) to the multi-currency lenders a letter of credit commission equal to (a) the Applicable Margin for revolving credit loans that are Eurodollar Rate loans (adjusted for the term that the letter of credit is outstanding) times (b) the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit and (iv) to the issuing lender a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit (which fee is paid out of the letter of credit commission).

Prior to the termination date of the Term Loan Facility, on October 15, January 15, April 15 and July 15 of each year (commencing October 15, 2005) Products Corporation shall repay $2.0 in aggregate principal amount of the term loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility on each respective date. In addition, the loans under the Term Loan Facility are required to be prepaid with: (i) the net proceeds in excess of $10.0 each year (subject to limited carryover to subsequent years) received during such year from sales of Term Loan First Lien Collateral (as defined below) by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiary guarantors (and in excess of an additional $25.0 in the aggregate during the term of the New Credit Facilities with respect to certain specified dispositions), subject to certain limited exceptions, (ii) certain net proceeds from equity offerings by Revlon, Inc. that are not used to redeem, repurchase or defease the 8 1/8% Senior Notes, the 9% Senior Notes, the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes or certain other indebtedness, (iii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt and (iv) 50% of Products Corporation's Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) for any fiscal year.

The New Credit Facilities are supported by, among other things, guarantees from Revlon, Inc. and, subject to certain limited exceptions, the domestic subsidiaries of Products Corporation. The obligations of Products Corporation under the New Credit Facilities and the obligations under the guarantees are secured by, subject to certain limited exceptions, substantially all of the assets of Products Corporation

and the subsidiary guarantors, including (i) mortgages on owned real property, including Products Corporation's facility in Oxford, North Carolina; (ii) the capital stock of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors and 66% of the capital stock of Products Corporation's and the subsidiary guarantors' first-tier foreign subsidiaries; (iii) intellectual property and other intangible property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors; and (iv) inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, investment property and deposit accounts of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors. The liens on inventory, accounts receivable, deposit accounts, investment property (other than the capital stock of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries), real property, equipment, fixtures and certain intangible property related thereto secure the Multi-Currency Facility on a first priority basis and the Term Loan Facility on a second priority basis, while the liens on the capital stock of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries and intellectual property and certain other intangible property (the "Term Loan First Lien Collateral") secure the Term Loan Facility on a first priority basis and the Multi-Currency Facility on a second priority basis, all as set forth in an Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement by and among Products Corporation and the lenders, which also provides that the first priority liens referred to above may be shared from time to time, subject to certain limitations, with specified types of other obligations incurred or guaranteed by Products Corporation, such as foreign exchange and interest rate hedging obligations and foreign working capital lines, provided that to the extent such obligations and lines share in the collateral, the borrowing base is reduced by a reserve established from time to time by the bank agent in respect of such obligations and lines.

The New Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants prohibiting Products Corporation and its subsidiaries from (i) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees, with certain exceptions, (ii) making dividend and other payments or loans to Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates, with certain exceptions, including among others, exceptions permitting Products Corporation to pay dividends or make other payments to Revlon, Inc. to finance the actual payment by Revlon, Inc. of expenses and obligations incurred by Revlon, Inc. to enable Revlon, Inc. to, among other things, pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting fees, regulatory fees such as Commission filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding company and, subject to 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 Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan, and, subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends or make other payments to finance the purchase, redemption or other retirement for value by Revlon, Inc. of stock or other equity interests or equivalents in Revlon, Inc. held by any current or former director, employee or consultant in his or her capacity as such, (iii) creating liens or other encumbrances on Products Corporation's or its subsidiaries' assets or revenues, granting negative pledges or selling or transferring any of Products Corporation's or its subsidiaries' assets, except in the ordinary course of business, all subject to certain exceptions, (iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or acquisition transactions, (v) prepaying indebtedness and modifying the terms of certain indebtedness and specified material contractual obligations, subject to certain exceptions (including, without limitation, prepaying one or more of the 8 1/8% Notes, 9% Notes or 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes with the $110 equity offering to be back-stopped by MacAndrews & Forbes), (vi) making investments, subject to certain exceptions, 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 transaction. In addition to the foregoing, the New Credit Agreement contains financial covenants limiting the senior secured leverage ratio of Products Corporation (the ratio of Products Corporation's Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA, as each such term is defined in the New Credit Agreement) to 5.50 to 1.00 for the four consecutive quarters ending during the period from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005; 5.00 to 1.00 for the four consecutive quarters ending during the period from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006; and 4.50 to 1.00 for the four consecutive quarters ending March 31, 2007 and each subsequent quarter until the maturity date of the New Credit Agreement, and, under circumstances when

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

the excess borrowing base under the Multi-Currency Facility is less than $30.0 for a period of 30 consecutive days or more, requiring Products Corporation to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of EBITDA minus Capital Expenditures to Cash Interest Expense for such period, as each such term is defined in the New Credit Agreement) of 1.00 to 1.00.

The events of default under the New Credit Agreement include a Change of Control (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of Products Corporation and other customary events of default for such types of agreements. Among such customary events of default under the New Credit Agreement is a cross default provision which provides that it is an event of default under the New Credit Agreement if Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (i) defaults in the payment of certain indebtedness when due (whether at maturity or by acceleration) in excess of $5.0 in aggregate principal amount or (ii) defaults in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to such debt, provided that the amount of debt involved is in excess of $5.0 in aggregate principal amount, or any other event occurs, the effect of such default or other event would cause or permit the holders of such debt to accelerate payment of such debt.

In connection with the tender for and redemption of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes and the repayment of the 2001 Credit Agreement, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt for the third quarter 2004, of $58.8, which represents the premium, fees, expenses and the write-off of deferred financing costs related to such transactions.

Consolidated Mafco Line of Credit

On July 9, 2004, Products Corporation and MacAndrews Holdings entered into an agreement, which effective as of August 10, 2004 amended, restated and consolidated the facilities for the Mafco $65 million line of credit and the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan (as to which after the Revlon Exchange Transactions the total term loan availability was $87) into the single Consolidated Mafco line of credit with availability of $152, the commitment under which reduces to $87 as of July 1, 2005 and terminates on December 1, 2005. Loans are available under the Consolidated Mafco line of credit if (i) the Multi-Currency Facility under the New Credit Agreement has been substantially drawn (after taking into account anticipated needs for Local Loans and letters of credit), (ii) such borrowing is necessary to cause the excess borrowing base under the Multi-Currency Facility to remain greater than $30, (iii) additional revolving loans are not available under the Multi-Currency Facility or (iv) such borrowing is reasonably necessary to prevent or to cure a default or event of default under the New Credit Agreement. Loans under the Consolidated Mafco line of credit bear interest (which is not payable in cash but is capitalized quarterly in arrears) at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) 12.0% and (b) 0.25% less than the rate payable from time to time on Eurodollar loans under the Term Loan Facility under the New Credit Agreement, which on September 30, 2004 was 7.48%, provided, that at any time that the Eurodollar Base Rate under the New Credit Agreement is equal to or greater than 3.0%, the applicable rate to loans under the Consolidated Mafco line of credit will be equal to the lesser of (x) 12.0% and (y) 5.25% over the Eurodollar Base Rate then in effect. In connection with the Consolidated Mafco line of credit, on July 15, 2004, Revlon, Inc., Fidelity and MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to eliminate the Borrowing Limitation.

(10)    Tax Deconsolidation

As a result of the closing of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, as of the end of the day on March 25, 2004, Revlon Inc., Products Corporation and its U.S. subsidiaries were no longer included in the Mafco Holdings consolidated group (the "Mafco Group") for federal income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder govern both the calculation of the amount and allocation to the members of the Mafco Group of any consolidated federal net operating losses of the group ("CNOLs") that will be available to offset Revlon, Inc.'s taxable

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

income and the taxable income of its U.S. subsidiaries for the taxable years beginning after March 25, 2004. It is impossible to estimate accurately the amount of CNOLs that will be allocated to Revlon, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 because various factors could increase or decrease or eliminate these amounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the amount and nature of the income, gains or losses that the other members of the Mafco Group recognize in the 2004 taxable year because any CNOLs are, pursuant to Treasury regulations, used to offset the taxable income of the Mafco Group for the entire consolidated return year ending December 31, 2004. Only the amount of any CNOLs that the Mafco Group does not absorb by December 31, 2004 will be available to be allocated to Revlon, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries for taxable years beginning on March 26, 2004. Subject to the foregoing, it is currently estimated that Revlon, Inc. will have approximately $330 in U.S. federal net operating losses and nil for alternative minimum tax losses available to Revlon, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries as of March 25, 2004. Any losses that Revlon, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries may generate after March 25, 2004 will be available to Revlon, Inc. for its use and its U.S. subsidiaries' use and will not be available for the use of the Mafco Group. Following the closing of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. became the parent of a new consolidated group for federal income tax purposes and Products Corporation's federal taxable income and loss will be included in such group's consolidated tax returns. Accordingly, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into a new tax sharing agreement pursuant to which Products Corporation will be required to pay to Revlon, Inc. amounts equal to the taxes that Products Corporation would otherwise have had to pay if Products Corporation were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns, limited to the amount, and payable only at such times, as Revlon, Inc. will be required to make payments to the applicable taxing authorities.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Company is providing this overview in accordance with the SEC's December 2003 interpretive guidance regarding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Company operates in a single segment and manufactures, markets and sells an extensive array of cosmetics and skin care, fragrances and personal care products. In addition, the Company has a licensing group.

The Company has accelerated the implementation of its three-part plan to rationalize costs and to grow the business. In 2002, the Company began the implementation of the stabilization and growth phase of its plan.

The Company intends to capitalize on the actions taken during the stabilization and growth phase of its plan, with the objective of increasing revenues and achieving profitability over the long term. The Company currently anticipates that the continued growth momentum and accelerated growth stage of its plan will include various actions that represent refinements of and additions to the actions taken during the stabilization and growth phase of its plan, with the objective of balancing top-line growth with improved operating margins and developing and implementing the Company's productivity initiatives. These ongoing initiatives include, among other things, actions to: (i) further improve the new product development and implementation process; (ii) continue to increase the effectiveness and reduce the cost of the Company's display walls; (iii) drive efficiencies across the Company's overall supply chain, including reducing manufacturing costs by streamlining components and sourcing strategically and rationalizing its supply chain in Europe, which will include moving certain production for the European markets to Products Corporation's Oxford, North Carolina facility (on September 22, 2004, the Company exercised its contractual rights to terminate its supply agreement, dated as of October 31, 2002, with Creative Outsourcing Solutions International Limited ("COSi"), by giving COSi the contractually-stipulated six months' written notice of termination that is scheduled to become effective on April 1, 2005; Products Corporation intends to transition such manufacturing primarily to one or more of Products Corporation's other facilities and does not currently expect any disruption in its supply chain); and (iv) optimize the effectiveness of the Company's marketing and promotions. This stage will also include strengthening the Company's balance sheet and capital structure, much of which, as discussed in Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, has been accomplished during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The Company believes that it has strengthened its organizational capability and it intends to continue doing so. The Company also believes that it has strengthened its relationships with its key retailers in the U.S., which has led to space gains and increased distribution for 2004 for certain of the Company's products.

In June 2004, Products Corporation commenced a cash tender offer for its 12% Senior Secured Notes and announced its intention to refinance its 2001 Credit Agreement. On July 9, 2004, Products Corporation entered into the New Credit Agreement and on July 9, 2004, July 22, 2004 and August 23, 2004 used the proceeds of borrowings under the New Credit Agreement to repay in full the $290.5 of outstanding indebtedness (including accrued interest) under Products Corporation's 2001 Credit Agreement, to purchase and redeem all $363 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes, and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Tender Offer and the Revlon Exchange Transactions, including the payment of expenses related to a refinancing that Products Corporation launched in May 2004 but did not consummate. The balance of such proceeds in connection with the Term Loan Facility are available to Products Corporation for general corporate purposes.

On March 25, 2004 Revlon, Inc. consummated the Revlon Exchange Transactions and reduced Products Corporation's debt by approximately $804. Revlon, Inc. issued an additional 299,969,493 shares of Class A Common Stock and as of September 30, 2004 Revlon, Inc. had outstanding approximately 338,867,944 shares of Class A Common Stock and 31.25 million shares of Class B Common Stock. MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owned approximately 221.4 million shares of the Common Stock (representing approximately 59.8% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and approximately 77.2% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock) as of September 30, 2004. Of the shares beneficially owned by MacAndrews & Forbes, REV Holdings currently owns approximately 20.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock and 31.25 million shares of Class B Common Stock. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

In the third quarter of 2004, net sales decreased $22.1, or 7.0%, to $294.4, as compared to $316.5 in the third quarter of 2003, driven principally by higher total returns, allowances and discounts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net sales decreased $11.9, or 1.3%, to $918.9, as compared to $930.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, with the decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 being driven by lower shipments in the U.S. and higher total returns, allowances and discounts, partially offset by sales growth and favorable foreign currency translation in International, as well as the prepayment of certain minimum royalties and renewal fees by licensees.

In the United States and Canada, third quarter of 2004 net sales decreased to $192.0 from $212.1 in the third quarter of 2003, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net sales decreased to $604.7 from $641.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in the third quarter 2004 was due to higher total returns, allowances and discounts. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was due to lower shipments and higher total returns, allowances and discounts, partially offset by the prepayment of certain minimum royalties and renewal fees by licensees of $10.0 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. In International, in the third quarter of 2004, net sales decreased to $102.4 from $104.4 in the third quarter of 2003, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net sales increased to $314.2 from $289.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in the third quarter of 2004 was due primarily to higher total returns, allowances and discounts in the Europe and Latin America regions, partially offset by higher sales in the Far East and Africa region and favorable foreign currency translation. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was driven largely by higher shipments and favorable foreign currency translation.

In terms of U.S. marketplace performance, according to ACNielsen, the U.S. color cosmetics category for the third quarter of 2004 declined approximately 3.1% versus the same period last year and declined approximately 2.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 versus the same period last year. Combined share for the Revlon and Almay brands totaled 21.3% for the third quarter of 2004, compared with 22.5% in the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, combined market share for the Revlon and Almay brands totaled 21.7%, compared with 22.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The Company's share performance reflected less share contribution from new products this year, while the Company's market share on existing businesses advanced solidly. In hair color and beauty tools, the Company gained market share in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared with the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003, while market share was down for anti-perspirants/deodorants. ACNielsen measures retail sales volume of products sold in the U.S. mass-market distribution channel. Such data represent ACNielsen's estimates based upon data gathered by ACNielsen from market samples and are therefore subject to some degree of variance. Additionally, as of August 4, 2001, ACNielsen's data do not reflect sales volume from Wal-Mart, Inc., which is the Company's largest customer, representing approximately 20.6% of the Company's 2003 worldwide net sales.

Net sales in the Company's domestic and international operations in the normal course are subject to the risk of being adversely affected by, among other things, one or more of the following: weak

economic conditions, political uncertainties, military actions, terrorist activities, adverse currency fluctuations, competitive activities and changes in consumer purchasing habits.

Operating loss in the third quarter of 2004 was $2.0, as compared to an operating loss of $7.9 in the third quarter of 2003, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 operating income was $16.3, as compared to an operating loss of $15.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The improvement for the third quarter of 2004 reflected the absence of growth plan charges, which increased the operating loss in the third quarter of 2003 by approximately $5.6, as well as lower cost of goods sold and brand support, partially offset by lower net sales and higher depreciation and amortization. The improvement for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 reflected the absence of growth plan charges, which increased the operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 by approximately $31.2, the aforementioned higher licensing revenues, which included the prepayment of $10.0 of minimum royalties and renewal fees by licensees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and lower advertising, partially offset by higher total returns, allowances and discounts.

The loss on early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 represents the loss on the exchange of equity for certain indebtedness in the Revlon Exchange Transactions (such loss was equal to the difference between the fair value of the equity securities issued and the book value of the related indebtedness exchanged by third parties other than MacAndrews & Forbes or related parties) and fees, expenses and the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the Revlon Exchange Transactions, the tender for and redemption of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes (including the applicable premium) and the repayment of the 2001 Credit Agreement. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

United States and Canada.

The decrease in net sales in the U.S. and Canada in the third quarter of 2004, as compared with the third quarter of 2003, was driven primarily by higher total returns, allowances and discounts of $18.5 (including the favorable impact in the third quarter of 2003 of approximately $4 of lower returns and allowances than originally estimated related to the stabilization and growth phase of the Company's plan, which began in December 2002) largely due to provisions for returns associated with the Company's larger new products program for 2005 versus 2004, requiring space at the wall. Also driving the increase in returns provision was lower sell-through of promotional products related to the softness in the U.S. mass- market color cosmetics category. The decrease in net sales in the U.S. and Canada for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was driven by lower shipments of approximately $23 (due in part to the mass color category softness and less contribution from 2004 new product introductions, as compared to 2003 new product introductions), and higher total returns, allowances and discounts of approximately $24 (including the unfavorable impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of approximately $10 related to the stabilization and growth phase of the Company's plan, which began in December 2002), partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and increased licensing revenue of $9.8, primarily from the prepayment of $10.0 of certain minimum royalties and renewal fees by licensees.

In terms of U.S. marketplace performance, according to ACNielsen, the mass color cosmetics category for the third quarter of 2004 declined approximately 3.1% versus the same period last year and declined approximately 2.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 versus the same period last year. Combined share for the Revlon and Almay brands totaled 21.3% for the third quarter of 2004, compared with 22.5% in the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, combined market share for the Revlon and Almay brands totaled 21.7%, compared with 22.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The share performance reflected less share contribution from new products this year, while the Company's market share on existing businesses advanced solidly. In hair color and beauty tools, the Company gained market share in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003, while market share was down for anti-perspirants/deodorants. All U.S. market share and market position data herein for the Company's brands are based upon retail dollar sales, which are derived from ACNielsen data.

International.

Net sales in the Company's international operations were $102.4 for the third quarter of 2004, compared with $104.4 for the third quarter of 2003, a decrease of $2.0 or 1.9%, and were $314.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared with $289.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $25.2 or 8.7%. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, international sales decreased by 7.7% in the third quarter and increased by 0.6% for the nine months ended

September 30, 2004, as compared to the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. Sales in the Company's international operations are divided by the Company into three geographic regions.

In Europe, which is comprised of Europe and the Middle East, net sales decreased by $5.5, or 17.5%, to $26.0 for the third quarter of 2004, as compared with the third quarter of 2003. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, net sales declined by $8.2 or 26.0% in the third quarter of 2004, as compared to the third quarter of 2003. The decline in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations was due to lower sales in the U.K., stemming in part from higher returns, allowances and discounts (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 21.3% reduction in net sales for the region, as compared with the third quarter of 2003) and lower sales to distributors in Russia and Germany (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 8.1% reduction in net sales for the region, as compared with the third quarter of 2003), which was partially offset by increased sales in Israel (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 2.0% increase in net sales for the region in the third quarter of 2004, as compared with the third quarter of 2003).

In Latin America, which is comprised of Mexico, Central America and South America, net sales declined by $3.1, or 12.8%, to $21.1 for the third quarter of 2004, as compared with the third quarter of 2003. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, net sales decreased by $2.0 or 8.3% in the third quarter of 2004, as compared to the third quarter of 2003. The decrease in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations was driven primarily by higher returns, allowances and discounts in Mexico and Brazil (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 11.8% reduction in net sales for the region, as compared with the third quarter of 2003), which was partially offset by increased sales in certain distributor markets and in Brazil (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 7.5% increase in net sales for the region in the third quarter of 2004, as compared with the third quarter of 2003).

In the Far East and Africa, net sales increased by $6.6, or 13.6%, to $55.3 for the third quarter of 2004, as compared with the third quarter of 2003. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, net sales increased $2.2 or 4.5% in the third quarter of 2004, as compared to the third quarter of 2003. This increase in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations was driven by higher sales in South Africa, Australia and Japan (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 6.1% increase in net sales for the region, as compared with the third quarter of 2003).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net sales in Europe decreased by $3.2 or 3.6%, to $86.7. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, net sales declined by $12.2 or 13.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decline in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations was due to lower sales in the U.K., stemming in part from reduced customer inventory levels and higher allowances granted to customers (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 10.5% reduction in net sales for the region, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003) and lower sales to distributors in Russia and Germany (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 5.7% reduction in net sales for the region, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003), which was partially offset by increased sales in Israel (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 1.4% increase in net sales for the region for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003).

In Latin America, net sales increased by $1.7, or 2.6%, to $67.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, net sales increased by $3.1 or 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in net sales excluding the impact

of foreign currency fluctuations is primarily due to increased sales in Brazil, Venezuela and certain distributor markets (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 12.0% increase in net sales for the region for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003) due to improved local economic and business conditions, which was partially offset by lower sales in Mexico (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 6.1% reduction in net sales for the region, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003).

In the Far East and Africa, net sales increased by $26.7 or 20.0%, to $160.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, net sales increased $10.8 or 8.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This increase was driven by higher sales in South Africa, Japan and Australia related to favorable economic conditions (which factor the Company estimates contributed to an approximate 7.3% increase in net sales for the region, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003).

Excluding foreign exchange fluctuations, gross profit decreased $17.1 for the third quarter of 2004, as compared to the third quarter of 2003, primarily due to higher total returns, allowances and discounts. Excluding foreign exchange fluctuations, gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased $17.5, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, reflecting lower volumes and higher total returns, allowances and discounts, partially offset by the prepayment of certain minimum royalties and renewal fees by licensees and other revenue of $10.0 in 2004 and lower cost of goods sold. The nine months ended September 30, 2003 was adversely impacted by increased returns in connection with the stabilization and growth phase of the Company's plan.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for third quarter of 2004, as compared to third quarter of 2003, is due primarily to lower professional fees of $3.9 (the third quarter of 2003 included professional fees and expenses related to the stabilization and growth phase of the Company's plan) and lower brand support of $18.1, partially offset by higher compensation and benefit costs primarily related to stock-based compensation amortization, higher display amortization of $2.7 and other selling and general expenses, including $3.0 of unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, is due primarily to lower professional fees of $11.1 (the nine months ended September 30, 2003 included professional fees and expenses related to the stabilization and growth phase of the Company's plan), lower brand support of $22.9, and lower employee-related compensation and benefit charges, partially offset by stock-based compensation amortization, distribution costs, and $12.5 of unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2004, the Company recorded $0.6 for employee severance and other personnel benefits.

The decrease in interest expense of $17.4 for the third quarter and $31.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, is primarily due to lower consolidated debt during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2004, resulting from the Revlon Exchange Transactions and the REV Holdings Exchange Offer, partially offset by higher borrowings under Products Corporation's New Credit Agreement to repay the 2001 Credit Agreement, tender for and redeem Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes (including applicable premium and accrued interest) and to pay fees and expenses.

The loss on early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 represents the loss on the exchange of equity for certain indebtedness in the Revlon Exchange Transactions (such loss was equal to the difference between the fair value of the equity securities issued and the book value of the related indebtedness exchanged by third parties other than MacAndrews & Forbes or related parties) and fees, expenses and the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the Revlon Exchange Transactions, the tender for and redemption of the 12% Senior Secured Notes (including the applicable premium) and the repayment of the 2001 Credit Agreement.

The increase in the provision for income taxes in the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is due to higher taxable income in certain markets outside the U.S. in the 2004 periods. The benefit for income taxes in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was attributable to the resolution of various tax audits.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased to $141.0, as compared to $193.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This improvement resulted primarily from higher operating income, lower purchases of permanent displays, lower accrued expenses and lower cash spending in connection with the stabilization and growth phase of the Company's plan and lower interest payments. Also, the Company received $10.0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 related to the prepayment of certain minimum royalties and renewal fees by licensees.

Net cash used for investing activities was $12.5 and $19.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which consisted of capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $177.8 and $153.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included cash drawn under each of the 2001 Credit Agreement (including the additional $64.4 term loan pursuant to the Exchange Bank Amendments), the 2004 $125 million Mafco Loan, the $65 million Mafco line of credit, and the Term Loan under the New Credit Agreement and a capital contribution from an affiliate to retire the REV Holdings Notes and advances under the Keepwell Agreement and the New Keepwell Agreement, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings under the 2001 Credit Agreement (in connection with the refinancing thereof), the $125 million Mafco Loan, the Mafco $65 million line of credit, payment of the redemption price, the applicable premium and interest

in connection with the tender for and redemption of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes and payment of financing costs in connection with each of the January 2004 Bank Amendment, the Exchange Bank Amendments, the Revlon Exchange Transactions, the New Credit Agreement, the tender for and redemption of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes and the REV Holdings Exchange Offer. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 included cash drawn under the 2001 Credit Agreement and the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan, net proceeds from the 2003 Rights Offering (as hereinafter defined) and advances under the Keepwell Agreement, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings under the 2001 Credit Agreement and payment of financing costs.

At September 30, 2004, Products Corporation had a liquidity position, excluding restricted cash, of approximately $346.1, consisting of cash and cash equivalents as well as available borrowings from the Multi-Currency Facility and the Consolidated Mafco line of credit.

New Credit Agreement

On July 9, 2004, Products Corporation entered into the New Credit Agreement with certain of its subsidiaries as local borrowing subsidiaries, a syndicate of lenders, and Citicorp USA, Inc., as multi-currency administrative agent, term loan administrative agent and collateral agent. Products Corporation used the proceeds of borrowings under the $800 Term Loan Facility of the New Credit Agreement to repay in full the $290.5 of outstanding indebtedness (including accrued interest) under Products Corporation's 2001 Credit Agreement, to purchase approximately $298 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes tendered at the Initial Settlement of the Tender Offer, for a purchase price of approximately $338.3 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest), to purchase the additional approximately $0.4 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes tendered following the Initial Settlement through the expiration of the Tender Offer, for a purchase price of approximately $0.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest), to redeem the approximately $64.5 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes remaining outstanding at the expiration of the Tender Offer for a redemption price of approximately $73.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest), and paid fees and expenses incurred in connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Tender Offer and the Revlon Exchange Transactions, including the payment of expenses related to a refinancing that Products Corporation launched in May 2004 but did not consummate. The balance of such proceeds is available to Products Corporation for general corporate purposes. The Multi-Currency Facility was undrawn at September 30, 2004.

The New Credit Agreement provides up to $960.0 and consists of an $800.0 Term Loan Facility and a $160.0 asset-based Multi-Currency Facility, the availability under which varies based upon the borrowing base. The Multi-Currency Facility is available to: (i) Products Corporation in revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars, (ii) Products Corporation in standby and commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars and other currencies up to $50.0 and (iii) Products Corporation and certain of its international subsidiaries designated from time to time in revolving credit loans and bankers' acceptances denominated in U.S. dollars and other currencies, in each case subject to borrowing base availability that is determined based on the value of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and equipment in the U.S. and the U.K. from time to time. The Multi-Currency Facility will terminate on July 9, 2009 and the loans under the Term Loan Facility will mature on July 9, 2010; provided that the New Credit Facilities will terminate on October 31, 2005 if the 8 1/8% Senior Notes are not redeemed, repurchased or defeased in full on or before such date, on July 31, 2006 if the 9% Senior Notes are not redeemed, repurchased or defeased in full on or before such date, and on October 30, 2007 if the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are not redeemed, repurchased or defeased on or before such date such that not more than $25.0 in aggregate principal amount of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes remain outstanding.

The 2004 Debt Reduction Transactions

As a result of the Debt Reduction Transactions, Revlon, Inc. reduced Products Corporation's debt by approximately $804 on March 25, 2004.

As part of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, MacAndrews & Forbes received Class A Common Stock in respect of any and all outstanding amounts owing to it, as of the closing date of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, under the Mafco $100 million term loan (which was approximately $109.7 at March 25, 2004, including accrued interest), the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan (which was approximately $38.9 at March 25, 2004, including accrued interest), the Mafco $65 million line of credit (which was nil at March 25, 2004) and approximately $24.1 of subordinated promissory notes. The portions of the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan and the Mafco $65 million line of credit not exchanged in the Loan Conversion Transactions remained available to Products Corporation (which loans were consolidated into the Consolidated Mafco line of credit in July 2004), subject to the Borrowing Limitation, which was subsequently eliminated. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

Revlon, Inc. agreed to the Borrowing Limitation with Fidelity not to permit Products Corporation to have outstanding aggregate borrowings, at any time following the close of the Revlon Exchange Transactions and until the termination of the Stockholders Agreement, under the Mafco $65 million line of credit and the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan in excess of approximately $87, which Borrowing Limitation was subsequently eliminated in July 2004. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

As a result of the consummation of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, approximately $133.8 principal amount of the 8 1/8% Senior Notes, approximately $174.5 principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes and approximately $322.9 principal amount of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes were exchanged for an aggregate of approximately 224.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock, including such shares issued in exchange for accrued interest on the Revlon Exchange Notes. Such amount of Revlon Exchange Notes exchanged included approximately $1.0 of the 9% Senior Notes and approximately $286.7 of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes tendered by MacAndrews & Forbes and other entities related to it; and approximately $85.9 of the 9% Senior Notes, approximately $77.8 of the 8 1/8% Senior Notes and approximately $32.1 of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes tendered by funds and accounts managed by Fidelity.

MacAndrews & Forbes also exchanged approximately $109.7 of existing indebtedness (including principal and accrued interest) under the Mafco $100 million term loan for approximately 43.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock, approximately $38.9 of existing indebtedness (including principal and accrued interest) under the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan for approximately 15.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately $24.1 of indebtedness under certain subordinated promissory notes payable to MacAndrews & Forbes for approximately 7.2 million shares of Class A Common Stock. REV Holdings exchanged all of Revlon, Inc.'s previously outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate of approximately 8.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock and converted all of its shares of Revlon, Inc.'s previously outstanding Series B Preferred Stock into 433,333 shares of Class A Common Stock.

In connection with consummating the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. announced that its previously announced plan to launch a rights offering and use the proceeds to reduce debt by a further $50 by year-end 2004 was reduced to $9.7, as a result of $190.3 of Revlon Exchange Notes having been exchanged in excess of the Revlon Exchange Notes committed to be exchanged by MacAndrews & Forbes and Fidelity under their respective support agreements. This $190.3 more than satisfied Revlon, Inc.'s plan to reduce debt through the Revlon Exchange Offers by $150 in addition to the Revlon Exchange Notes that were committed to be exchanged in the support agreements with MacAndrews & Forbes and Fidelity. The $40.3 difference satisfied all but $9.7 of the Company's plan to reduce debt (in

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

addition to the Revlon Exchange Notes) by a further $50 by year-end 2004. Because the costs and expenses, as well as the use of organizational resources, associated with a $9.7 rights offering would have been unduly disproportionate, Revlon, Inc.'s support and investment agreements with MacAndrews & Forbes and Fidelity relating to the Company's debt reduction plan were amended to enable Revlon, Inc. to satisfy the remaining $9.7 of debt reduction as part of the final stage of the Company's debt reduction plan. Therefore, the Company now intends to conduct an equity offering of approximately $110 by the end of March 2006 and to use such proceeds to reduce debt. Consistent with agreements between MacAndrews & Forbes and Revlon, Inc. entered into contemporaneously with the agreements relating to the Revlon Exchange Transactions, MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to back-stop the $110 equity offering.

Also, in conjunction with the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Products Corporation obtained the Exchange Bank Amendments to provide an additional $64.4 term loan facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay outstanding revolving indebtedness under Products Corporation's 2001 Credit Agreement without a reduction in revolving credit commitments. The Exchange Bank Amendments also permitted various aspects of the transactions relating to the Revlon Exchange Transactions. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

On June 22, 2004, Products Corporation commenced the Tender Offer. On the July 9, 2004 Initial Settlement, Products Corporation purchased approximately $298 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes, representing approximately 82% of the total outstanding principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes, for a purchase price of approximately $338.3 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest). On July 22, 2004, Products Corporation purchased approximately $0.4 aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes, the amount of such notes tendered following the Initial Settlement through the expiration of the Tender Offer, for a purchase price of approximately $0.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest). In connection with the expiration of the Tender Offer, Products Corporation on August 23, 2004 redeemed all of the approximately $64.5 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Notes that remained outstanding following the July 21, 2004 expiration of the Tender Offer at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the 12% Notes Indenture for a redemption price of approximately $73.5 (including the applicable premium and accrued interest). (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

Products Corporation's EBITDA (as defined in the 2001 Credit Agreement) was $144.4 for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2003, which was less than the minimum of $230 required under the 2001 Credit Agreement for that period and Products Corporation's leverage ratio was 1.66:1.00, which was in excess of the maximum ratio of 1.10:1.00 permitted under the 2001 Credit Agreement for that period. Accordingly, Products Corporation sought and on January 28, 2004 secured the January 2004 Bank Amendment that included waivers of compliance with these covenants for the four quarters ended December 31, 2003 and, in light of the Company's expectation that its plan would affect Products Corporation's ability to comply with these covenants under the 2001 Credit Agreement during 2004, an amendment to eliminate the EBITDA and leverage ratio covenants of the 2001 Credit Agreement for the first three quarters of 2004 and a waiver of compliance with such covenants for the four quarters ending December 31, 2004 expiring on January 31, 2005.

The 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan, as discussed in Note 9, was consolidated with the Mafco $65 million line of credit into the Consolidated Mafco line of credit in July 2004, with availability of $152. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

2003 Financing Transactions

In February 2003, Revlon, Inc. entered into an investment agreement with MacAndrews Holdings (the "2003 Investment Agreement") pursuant to which Revlon, Inc. undertook and, on June 20, 2003,

32




REV HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS —(Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share data)

completed, a $50 equity rights offering (the "2003 Rights Offering"), pursuant to which Revlon, Inc. issued an additional 17,605,650 shares of its Class A Common Stock, including 3,015,303 shares subscribed for by the public and 14,590,347 shares issued to MacAndrews Holdings in a private placement (representing the number of shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock that MacAndrews Holdings would otherwise have been entitled to purchase pursuant to its basic subscription privilege, which was approximately 83% of the shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock offered in the 2003 Rights Offering).

In addition, in connection with the 2003 Investment Agreement, MacAndrews Holdings also made available a $100 term loan to Products Corporation (the "Mafco $100 million term loan"). The Mafco $100 million term loan was exchanged for equity in connection with the Revlon Exchange Transactions. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

Additionally, MacAndrews Holdings also provided Products Corporation with an additional $40 line of credit during 2003, which amount was originally to increase to $65 on January 1, 2004 (the "Mafco $65 million line of credit") (the Mafco $100 million term loan and the Mafco $65 million line of credit, each as amended, are referred to as the "2003 Mafco Loans") and which was originally to be available to Products Corporation through December 31, 2004 (which, as discussed in Note 9, was consolidated with the 2004 Mafco $125 million term loan into the Consolidated Mafco line of credit in July 2004).

Sources and Uses

The Company's principal sources of funds are expected to be operating revenues, cash on hand, funds available for borrowing under the New Credit Agreement, the Consolidated Mafco line of credit, other permitted lines of credit and advances under the New Keepwell Agreement. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements). The New Credit Agreement, the Consolidated Mafco line of credit, Products Corporation's 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes"), Products Corporation's 8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "8 1/8% Senior Notes") and Products Corporation's 9% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "9% Senior Notes") contain certain provisions that by their terms limit Products Corporation's and its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur additional debt. The New REV Holdings Notes contain certain provisions that by their terms limit REV Holdings' ability to, among other things, incur additional debt.

The Company's principal uses of funds are expected to be the payment of operating expenses, including expenses in connection with the continued implementation of, and refinement to, the Company's plan, purchases of permanent wall displays, capital expenditure requirements, payments in connection with the Company's restructuring programs referred to herein, and debt service payments and costs. Cash contributions to the Company's pension and post-retirement benefit plans were $21 in 2003 and the Company expects them to be approximately $34 in 2004.

The Company has undertaken a number of programs to efficiently manage its cash and working capital including, among other things, programs to carefully manage inventory levels, centralized purchasing to secure discounts and efficiencies in procurement, and providing additional discounts to U.S. customers for more timely payment of receivables and careful management of accounts payable.

The Company previously estimated that charges related to the implementation of the stabilization and growth phase of its plan for 2002, 2003 and 2004 would not exceed $160. The Company recorded charges of approximately $104 in 2002 and approximately $31 in 2003 related to the implementation of the stabilization and growth phase of its plan. The Company currently does not expect to record any additional charges during 2004 in connection with its plan. The Company expects that cash payments related to the foregoing charges that it has previously recorded with respect to its plan will be approximately $100 during 2003 and 2004, of which the Company paid approximately $80 in 2003 and approximately $16 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The Company developed a new design for its wall displays (which the Company is continuing to refine as part of the implementation of its plan) and began installing them at certain customers' retail stores during 2002. While most of the new wall displays were installed during 2002 and 2003, the Company is continuing to install the remainder of the new wall displays during 2004. The Company is also reconfiguring existing wall displays at its retail customers. Accordingly, the Company has accelerated the amortization of its old wall displays. The Company estimates that purchases of wall displays for 2004 will be approximately $50 to $60.

The Company estimates that capital expenditures for 2004 will be approximately $20 to $25. The Company estimates that cash payments related to the restructuring programs referred to in Note 6 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and executive separation costs will be approximately $10 to $15 in 2004.

The Company expects that operating revenues, cash on hand, funds available for borrowing under the New Credit Agreement, the Consolidated Mafco line of credit and other permitted lines of credit and advances under the New Keepwell Agreement will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses, including cash requirements in connection with the Company's operations, the continued implementation of, and refinement to, the Company's plan, cash requirements in connection with the Company's restructuring programs referred to above and the debt service requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries for 2004, including without limitation, interest on the New REV Holdings Notes. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements). However, there can be no assurance that such funds will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements on a consolidated basis. If the Company's anticipated level of revenue growth is not achieved because, for example, of decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the cosmetics category, increased competition from the Company's competitors or the Company's marketing plans are not as successful as anticipated, or if the Company's expenses associated with the continued implementation of, and refinement to, the Company's plan exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company's current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements.

The U.S. mass-market color cosmetics category during 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was softer than the Company expected. Despite this softness in the U.S. mass-market color cosmetics category, based upon the Company's belief that its continued implementation of its plan is proving effective, the Company intends to continue to support its plan. Additionally, in the event of a decrease in demand for Products Corporation's products or reduced sales or lack of increases in demand and sales as a result of the continued implementation of, and refinement to, the Company's plan, any such development, if significant, could reduce Products Corporation's operating revenues and could adversely affect Products Corporation's ability to achieve certain financial covenants under the New Credit Agreement and in such event the Company could be required to take measures, including reducing discretionary spending.

If the Company is unable to satisfy its cash requirements from the sources identified above, the Company could be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as delaying the implementation of or revising aspects of its plan, reducing or delaying purchases of wall displays or advertising or promotional expenses, reducing or delaying capital spending, delaying, reducing or revising restructuring programs, restructuring indebtedness, selling assets or operations, seeking additional capital contributions or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, the Company's other affiliates and/or third parties, selling additional equity or debt securities of Revlon, Inc. (or debt securities of Products Corporation) or reducing other discretionary spending. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to take any of the actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in the Company's debt instruments, including, for example, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt offering, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of the Company's various debt instruments then in effect, because of restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset

dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements if the actions do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital.

The Company may have debt maturing in 2005 if and to the extent it draws under the Consolidated Mafco line of credit. The Company intends to refinance Products Corporation's 8 1/8% Senior Notes and 9% Senior Notes, with $116.1 and $75.5 aggregate principal amount outstanding, respectively, prior to their respective maturities in 2006, and to likewise refinance Products Corporation's 8 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $327.0, prior to their maturity in 2008. Under the New Credit Agreement, the Company must refinance the 8 1/8% Senior Notes by October 31, 2005, the 9% Senior Notes by July 31, 2006 and the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes by October 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2004, Products Corporation had drawn $800.0 under the Term Loan Facility of the New Credit Agreement and the Multi-Currency Facility and the Consolidated Mafco line of credit were undrawn. (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

Revlon, Inc., as a holding company, will be dependent on the earnings and cash flow of, and dividends and distributions from, Products Corporation to pay its expenses and to pay any cash dividend or distribution on Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock that may be authorized by the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. The terms of the New Credit Agreement, the Consolidated Mafco line of credit, the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, the 8 1/8% Senior Notes and the 9% Senior 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. to enable Revlon, Inc., among other things, to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting fees, regulatory fees such as Commission filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding company and, subject to certain limitations, 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 Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan.

On October 17, 2003, REV Holdings filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Commission with respect to the REV Holdings Exchange Offer. The REV Holdings Exchange Offer was consummated on January 21, 2004. In connection therewith, REV Holdings issued $18.5 principal amount of New REV Holdings Notes in exchange for a like principal amount of REV Holdings Notes. In addition, at maturity on February 1, 2004, REV Holdings' parent contributed $7.9 principal amount of REV Holdings Notes it held and $54.1 of cash to retire the remaining outstanding REV Holdings Notes.

The New REV Holdings Notes, which bear interest semi-annually and mature on February 1, 2007, are secured by the Collateral. In addition, the New Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the New Indenture, the following: (i) the issuance of additional debt and redeemable stock by REV Holdings, (ii) the creation of additional liens on the Collateral (other than the lien created by the New Indenture), (iii) the payment of dividends on capital stock of REV Holdings and the redemption of capital stock of REV Holdings or any of its direct or indirect parents, (iv) the sale of assets and subsidiary stock (including by way of consolidations, mergers and similar transactions), and (v) transactions with affiliates.

In connection with the REV Holdings Exchange Offer, GSB Investments Corp., an affiliate of the Company, entered into the New Keepwell Agreement, pursuant to which GSB Investments Corp. has agreed to provide REV Holdings with funds equal to any interest payment due on the New REV Holdings Notes, to the extent that REV Holdings does not have sufficient funds on hand to make such payment on the applicable due date. REV Holdings currently anticipates that it will use advances under the New Keepwell Agreement to pay interest when due under the New REV Holdings Notes.

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

The New Indenture contains customary events of default for debt instruments of such type. The New Indenture includes a cross-acceleration provision, which provides that it shall be an event of default under the New Indenture if any debt of REV Holdings or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined in the New Indenture), is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders of such debt because of a default and the total principal amount of the portion of such debt that is unpaid or accelerated exceeds $25.0 and such default continues for 10 days after notice from the trustee under the New Indenture. If any such event of default occurs, the trustee under the New Indenture or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding New REV Holdings Notes may declare all such notes to be due and payable immediately, provided that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the New REV Holdings Notes may, by notice to the trustee, waive any such default or event of default and its consequences under the New Indenture.

GSB Investments Corp. has advised REV Holdings that it expects either to have cash flow from dividends on its investments or to obtain capital contributions from its affiliates that, in the aggregate, will be sufficient to satisfy its obligations under the New Keepwell Agreement. There can be no assurance, however, that GSB Investments Corp. (a) will have such cash flow, because, among other things, a portion of its investments are pledged and its investees are under no obligation to pay dividends, or (b) could obtain any such contribution or loan because, among other things, its affiliates are under no obligation to provide them to GSB Investments Corp.

The New Keepwell Agreement will terminate at such time as there are no New REV Holdings Notes outstanding, at which time GSB Investments Corp. may require repayment of advances under the New Keepwell Agreement. On February 1, 2004, GSB Investments Corp. made a non-interest bearing advance of $4.5 to REV Holdings under the Keepwell Agreement, which was used to make the interest payment due on the REV Holdings Notes on February 1, 2004. The obligation under the Keepwell Agreement of $28.4 at maturity of the REV Holdings Notes on February 1, 2004 was contributed to the capital of REV Holdings in April 2004. On August 1, 2004, GSB Investments Corp. made a non-interest bearing advance of $1.2 under the New Keepwell Agreement, which was used to make the interest payment due on the New REV Holdings Notes on August 1, 2004.

REV Holdings, as a holding company, will be dependent on advances from affiliates to pay its expenses and will also be dependent upon advances under the New Keepwell Agreement to pay interest when due on the New REV Holdings Notes. REV Holdings anticipates that it will be required to adopt one or more alternatives to pay the principal amount at maturity of the New REV Holdings Notes, such as refinancing its indebtedness, repaying its indebtedness with the proceeds from the sale of assets or operations of Revlon, Inc., selling its equity securities or equity securities of Revlon, Inc. or seeking additional capital contributions or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, the Company's other affiliates and/or third parties. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing actions could be effected on satisfactory terms, that any of the foregoing actions would enable REV Holdings to pay the principal amount at maturity of the New REV Holdings Notes or that any of such actions would be permitted by the terms of the New Indenture or any other debt instrument of the Company and the Company's subsidiaries then in effect, because, among other reasons, market conditions may be unfavorable for an equity or debt offering or the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of the Company's various debt instruments then in effect, because of restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements if the actions do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital. None of the Company's affiliates, including MacAndrews & Forbes, is required to make any capital contribution, loan or other payment to REV Holdings with respect to principal or interest on the New REV Holdings Notes (other than as provided in the New Keepwell Agreement).

REV Holdings, as a single-member limited liability company, is a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. REV Holdings' income and loss are included in the consolidated federal

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

income tax return filed by the affiliated group of which Mafco Holdings is the common parent (the "Mafco Group"). In March 1993, REV Holdings and Mafco Holdings entered into a tax sharing agreement (as amended, the "1993 Tax Sharing Agreement") pursuant to which, for all taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1993, REV Holdings will pay to Mafco Holdings amounts equal to the taxes that REV Holdings would otherwise have had to pay if it were to file separate federal, state and local income tax returns for itself, excluding Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including any amount determined to be due as a result of a redetermination arising from an audit or otherwise of the tax liability relating to any such period that is attributable to REV Holdings). In connection with the conversion of REV Holdings Inc. into a limited liability company in December 2002, the 1993 Tax Sharing Agreement was amended to provide that REV Holdings will make any tax sharing payment to Mafco Holdings as if it were a taxable corporation. No tax sharing payment was required to be paid for 2004 pursuant to the 1993 Tax Sharing Agreement.

As a result of the closing of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, as of the end of the day on March 25, 2004, Revlon Inc., Products Corporation and its U.S. subsidiaries were no longer included in the Mafco Group for federal income tax purposes. The Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder govern both the calculation of the amount and allocation to the members of the Mafco Group of any CNOLs that will be available to offset Revlon, Inc.'s taxable income and the taxable income of its U.S. subsidiaries for the taxable years beginning after March 25, 2004. It is impossible to estimate accurately the amount of CNOLs that will be allocated to Revlon, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 because various factors could increase or decrease or eliminate these amounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the amount and nature of the income, gains or losses that the other members of the Mafco Group recognize in the 2004 taxable year because any CNOLs are, pursuant to Treasury regulations, used to offset the taxable income of the Mafco Group for the entire consolidated return year ending December 31, 2004. Only the amount of any CNOLs that the Mafco Group does not absorb by December 31, 2004 will be available to be allocated to Revlon, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries for taxable years beginning on March 26, 2004. Subject to the foregoing, it is currently estimated that Revlon, Inc. will have approximately $330 in U.S. federal net operating losses and nil for alternative minimum tax losses available to Revlon, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries as of March 25, 2004. Any losses that Revlon, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries may generate after March 25, 2004 will be available to Revlon, Inc. for its use and its U.S. subsidiaries' use and will not be available for the use of the Mafco Group. Following the closing of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. became the parent of a new consolidated group for federal income tax purposes and Products Corporation's federal taxable income and loss will be included in such group's consolidated tax returns. Accordingly, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into a new tax sharing agreement pursuant to which Products Corporation will be required to pay to Revlon, Inc. amounts equal to the taxes that Products Corporation would otherwise have had to pay if Products Corporation were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns, limited to the amount, and payable only at such times, as Revlon, Inc. will be required to make payments to the applicable taxing authorities.

As a result of dealing with suppliers and vendors in a number of foreign countries, Products Corporation enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. There were foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a notional amount of $38.0 outstanding at September 30, 2004. The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2004 was $(1.0).

Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of September 30, 2004, there had been no material changes outside the ordinary course of the Company's business to the Company's total contractual cash obligations which are set forth in the table included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements), with the exception of the elimination of (i)

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Effect of Proposed Accounting Standard

In April 2003, the FASB announced it will require all companies to expense the fair value of employee equity-based awards. The FASB issued an exposure draft in the first quarter of 2004 that could become effective in 2005. Until a new statement is issued, the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and SFAS No. 123 will remain in effect. The Company will evaluate the impact of any new statement regarding employee equity-based awards when a new statement is issued.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company has exposure to market risk both as a result of changing interest rates and movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's policy is to manage market risk through a combination of fixed and floating rate debt, the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign exchange forward and option contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The qualitative and quantitative information presented in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 ("Item 7A") describes significant aspects of the Company's financial instrument programs that have material market risk as of December 31, 2003. As a result of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Products Corporation's retirement of all of its 12% Senior Secured Notes and Products Corporation's entering into the New Credit Agreement, the Company's long-term variable rate debt now comprises a larger percentage of the Company's overall indebtedness than it did at December 31, 2003. The following table presents the information required by Item 7A as of September 30, 2004 (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements):

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Company makes in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed in 2004 and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission in 2004 (which, among other places, can be found on the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov).

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:

REV HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business or consolidated financial condition of the Company. A purported class action lawsuit was filed on September 27, 2000, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of Dan Gavish, Tricia Fontan and Walter Fontan individually and allegedly on behalf of all others similarly situated who purchased the securities of Revlon, Inc. and REV Holdings Inc. (a Delaware corporation and the predecessor of REV Holdings) between October 2, 1998 and September 30, 1999 (the "Second Gavish Action"). The complaint, amended by the plaintiffs in November 2001, alleged, among other things, that Revlon, Inc., certain of its present and former officers and directors and REV Holdings Inc. violated, among other things, Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On September 29, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the Second Gavish Action, without prejudice. In light of the settlement of the defendants' insurance claim for this matter and the other purported class actions filed in 1999 and settled in June 2003, which the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company does not expect to incur any further expense in this matter.
