      LIFETIME HOAN REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2004 RESULTS


WESTBURY,  N.Y., March 1, 2005 -- LIFETIME HOAN  CORPORATION
(NASDAQ   NM:  LCUT),  a  leading  designer,  marketer   and
distributor of housewares, today announced results  for  the
fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2004.

For  the  fourth  quarter of 2004, net sales  totaled  $68.1
million compared to $62.1 million for the same period of the
prior  year. The Company reported net income of $5.3 million
compared to $5.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2003.  On
a  diluted  per share basis, net income was $0.47 per  share
compared to $0.49 per share in 2003.

Net  sales  for  the twelve months ended December  31,  2004
totaled  $189.5 million compared to $160.4 million  for  the
same period in 2003, an increase of 18%. Net income for  the
period was $8.5 million compared to $8.4 million last  year.
On a diluted per share basis, net income was $0.75 per share
compared to $0.78 per share in 2003.

Jeffrey  Siegel,  Chairman, President  and  Chief  Executive
Officer,  commented, "In the fourth quarter, Lifetime's  net
sales  rose  by 10%, but our results were nonetheless  below
our   expectations  for  the  period.   The  shortfall   was
primarily  the result of two factors.  First,  an  important
roll-out  with  a  major  customer  of  our  new   line   of
KitchenAid(R) cutlery extended into the first two  weeks  of
January, rather than being completed in December 2004, as we
had  expected.   In  addition, sales of our  new  models  of
S'Mores  Makers did not reach the levels we had anticipated.
Our  original  model, introduced in 2003, was  an  extremely
popular  gift  item  during the holiday  season  and  was  a
significant  contributor  to  the  31%  sales  increase   we
achieved  in the fourth quarter of 2003.  Though  our  sales
for  the  fourth  quarter of 2004 increased  10%,  our  SG&A
increased 28%, due primarily to augmenting several key areas
of our Company in anticipation of growth in 2005, as well as
an  increase  in  personnel for the Excel tabletop  division
that we acquired in July 2004.

"Our outlook for 2005 is very positive.  An important source
of growth will be the expanded placement for our KitchenAid(R)
products  that we recently obtained with one  of  our  major
customers.   Overall,  demand for our KitchenAid(R) products,
including  the  innovative lines of KitchenAid(R) cutlery  we
launched late last year, remains very strong and will  be  a
primary growth driver in 2005.

"We  also  expect  to realize significant revenue  increases
across  all our product lines, including contributions  from
the  new  tabletop and cookware categories we added in  July
2004  through our acquisition of Excel Importing Corp.   New
product  introductions will continue to play  a  significant
role in our growth initiatives, primarily in the second half
of  the  year.  We will be bringing to market new  lines  of
Sabatier(R) branded  cutlery,  which,  combined   with   our
offerings under the  KitchenAid(R) and Cuisinart(R)  brands,
should  enable us to increase our presence in the  upper-end
of  the  cutlery market.  We also expect to see growth  from
the  exciting  new  line of bath accessories  our  new  :USE
division has developed, as we continue to expand our product
line beyond the kitchen into other areas of the home.

"As  a  result of the wide-ranging growth we expect  in  our
many  product lines, we estimate that Lifetime's  net  sales
will  total  approximately $220 million to $230  million  in
2005.   For the year, we expect earnings per share to  total
approximately $0.95 to $1.15."

Lifetime   Hoan  noted  that  fourth  quarter   2004   sales
attributable to the :USE(R) - Tools for Civilization(R), Gemco
Ware  and  Excel  businesses the Company  recently  acquired
totaled $5.7 million.
