      LIFETIME HOAN REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2004 RESULTS


WESTBURY,  N.Y.,  Nov. 3, 2004 -- LIFETIME HOAN  CORPORATION
(NASDAQ   NM:  LCUT),  a  leading  designer,  marketer   and
distributor of housewares, today announced results  for  the
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

For  the  third  quarter of 2004, net  sales  totaled  $51.2
million compared to $44.1 million for the same period of the
prior year. The Company reported net income of $2.6 million,
or  $0.23  per diluted share, compared to $2.9  million,  or
$0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2003.

Net  sales  for  the  nine months ended September  30,  2004
totaled  $121.4  million compared to $98.3 million  for  the
same  period in 2003, an increase of 23.5%. Net  income  for
the  period  was  $3.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted  share,
compared  to $3.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share,  last
year.

Jeffrey  Siegel,  Chairman, President  and  Chief  Executive
Officer,  commented, "Lifetime's net revenues for the  third
quarter   increased   by  16%.  This  significant   increase
notwithstanding, the results for the quarter  did  not  meet
our expectations.

"Sales  did  not  attain  our earlier  forecast  principally
because of late delivery of merchandise from overseas.  Some
of  our suppliers encountered difficulties with the start-up
of  production  of  new product lines. The affected  product
lines included our new lines of KitchenAid(R) cutlery, our new
ceramic  S'mores  Maker(TM) and our new Smokeless Tabletop
Griller(TM).  In some  cases,  these  products  utilize   new
materials  or  combinations of materials that, coupled  with
our  stringent quality requirements, resulted in  unexpected
problems  for our suppliers. As a result, a number of  sales
programs  did not begin as scheduled during the quarter.  In
addition,  our  supply  chain  faced  a  number   of   other
challenges,   including  shortages   and   delays   in   the
availability of raw materials in Asia and delays  caused  by
congestion at ports in the United States. While these start-
up  and  other supply chain issues had a negative impact  on
sales,  we believe they have generally been resolved and  we
expect  the  flow of merchandise to continue at satisfactory
levels through the important holiday shipping season."

Mr.  Siegel  continued, "Many of our retail  customers  also
faced  challenges  during the quarter. These  resulted  from
high  gasoline prices and severe weather in the Southeastern
United  States. In addition, measures instituted earlier  in
2004  by  a  major customer to improve inventory  turns  and
lower  its  in-stock  position  continued.  Together,  these
factors had a negative effect on the timing and reduced  the
size of orders we received during the quarter, when compared
to our expectations.

"Our  profitability in the quarter did not meet our  target,
principally as a result of lower than anticipated net sales.
Our   gross  margin  percentage  fell  by  1.6%,  reflecting
proportionally  higher sales of products that  traditionally
carry  lower gross profit margins. This was due to increased
sales of  products sold under the KitchenAid(R) brand, which
generate  a lower gross profit margin due to the added  cost
of   royalties,  as  well  as  higher  sales  of   bakeware,
functional glassware and tabletop products.

"Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A)  expenses  rose
due  to  the  increase in the share of space in  our  outlet
stores for which Lifetime is responsible compared with  same
quarter  last  year,  as  well as  added  costs  related  to
strengthening   our   product  development,   sourcing   and
sales/marketing infrastructure. We believe that our  planned
investments in these areas, which had a negative  impact  on
our  profitability  during  the quarter,  are  necessary  to
ensure  our growth and will have a positive impact on future
profitability.  In addition, SG&A expenses  increased  as  a
result  of  the acquisitions of the business and  assets  of
USE(R) - Tools for Civilization(R), Gemco Ware and Excel."

Mr.  Siegel  concluded, "As a result  of  the  third-quarter
developments, we have reviewed our forecast and refined  our
guidance  for  2004. We are lowering our net sales  guidance
for  the year to approximately $190 - $197 million from $202
-  $212  million. Consequently, we are lowering our earnings
per share estimate to approximately $0.78 - $0.87 from $0.95
- $1.10."

Lifetime   Hoan   noted   that  third-quarter   2004   sales
attributable to the :USE(R) - Tools for Civilization(R), Gemco
Ware and Excel businesses, which the Company acquired during
the last twelve months, totaled $5.1 million.

Separately,  the  Company  announced  that  its   Board   of
Directors  declared  a regular quarterly  cash  dividend  of
$0.0625   per  share,  payable  on  November  19,  2004   to
shareholders of record on November 5, 2004.

November  3,  at  11:00 a.m. Eastern time to discuss  third-
quarter-2004  results  and additional matters.  The  dial-in

lower  its  in-stock  position  continued.  Together,  these
factors had a negative effect on the timing and reduced  the
size of orders we received during the quarter, when compared
to our expectations.

"Our  profitability in the quarter did not meet our  target,
principally as a result of lower than anticipated net sales.
Our   gross  margin  percentage  fell  by  1.6%,  reflecting
proportionally  higher sales of products that  traditionally
carry  lower gross profit margins. This was due to increased
sales of  products sold under the KitchenAid(R) brand, which
generate  a lower gross profit margin due to the added  cost
of   royalties,  as  well  as  higher  sales  of   bakeware,
functional glassware and tabletop products.

"Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A)  expenses  rose
due  to  the  increase in the share of space in  our  outlet
stores for which Lifetime is responsible compared with  same
quarter  last  year,  as  well as  added  costs  related  to
strengthening   our   product  development,   sourcing   and
sales/marketing infrastructure. We believe that our  planned
investments in these areas, which had a negative  impact  on
our  profitability  during  the quarter,  are  necessary  to
ensure  our growth and will have a positive impact on future
profitability.  In addition, SG&A expenses  increased  as  a
result  of  the acquisitions of the business and  assets  of
USE(R) - Tools for Civilization(R), Gemco Ware and Excel."

Mr.  Siegel  concluded, "As a result  of  the  third-quarter
developments, we have reviewed our forecast and refined  our
guidance  for  2004. We are lowering our net sales  guidance
for  the year to approximately $190 - $197 million from $202
-  $212  million. Consequently, we are lowering our earnings
per share estimate to approximately $0.78 - $0.87 from $0.95
- $1.10."

Lifetime   Hoan   noted   that  third-quarter   2004   sales
attributable to the :USE(R) - Tools for Civilization(R), Gemco
Ware and Excel businesses, which the Company acquired during
the last twelve months, totaled $5.1 million.

Separately,  the  Company  announced  that  its   Board   of
Directors  declared  a regular quarterly  cash  dividend  of
$0.0625   per  share,  payable  on  November  19,  2004   to
shareholders of record on November 5, 2004.
