                         Robert McNally
                         Vice President of Finance and Chief
                         Financial Officer

Date:  April 29, 2003


EXHIBIT 99


LIFETIME  HOAN  CORPORATION (NASDAQ  NM:  LCUT),  a  leading
marketer  of  housewares, today announced  results  for  the
first quarter ended March 31, 2003.

Net  sales  for the quarter were $24.3 million versus  $24.2
million  in the first quarter of 2002.  The Company reported
a  net  loss from continuing operations of $0.6 million,  or
$0.06  per  diluted  share, compared  to  a  net  loss  from
continuing operations of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per  diluted
share, for the same period in 2002.

Jeffrey  Siegel,  president  and  chief  executive  officer,
commented,  "Net sales for the first quarter  of  2003  were
slightly  below  plan, due principally to weak  demand  from
many  of  our  major customers.  As many of these  retailers
have reported, retail sales in the quarter were affected  by
the  economy,  uncertainty over events in the  Middle  East,
unfavorable  shopping weather in many parts of  the  country
and the late Easter holiday."

Mr.  Siegel  continued, "While many of our customers  expect
consumer demand to remain soft for the balance of the  year,
we  believe the combination of new product introductions and
significant  additional placements of our  core  lines  will
enable  Lifetime Hoan to achieve the results  we  forecasted
earlier in the year."

"As we discussed at year-end, Lifetime Hoan has developed  a
sizable pipeline of exciting, new products that we expect to
be  well  received by retailers and consumers alike.   These
include the products from our new CasaModar division,  which
is   focused   on  the  growing  market  for   casual   home
entertainment.   These  products  are  scheduled  to   begin
shipping in the third quarter.  Our new distribution  center
continues  to function smoothly, and we look forward  to  an
acceleration  in  sales  as  2003  progresses  and  our  new
products and new placements come on stream."

The  Company  reaffirmed its estimates that  Lifetime's  net
sales in 2003 will total approximately $140 million to  $150
million.    Earnings  per  share  are  estimated  to   total
approximately $0.65 to $0.85 for the year.

As  previously announced, Lifetime sold its 51% interest  in
the  businesses  of  each  of Prestige  Italiana,  Spa.  and
Prestige   Haushaltswaren  GmbH  (together,  the   "Prestige
Companies")  in September 2002.  The loss from the  Prestige
Companies'  operations  for the first  quarter  of  2002  is
reflected as discontinued operations on the Company's income
statements.

Separately,  the  Company  announced  that  its   Board   of
Directors  declared  a regular quarterly  cash  dividend  of
$0.0625  per  share, payable on May 20, 2003 to shareholders
of record on May 5, 2003.

Lifetime  Hoan  Corporation is a leading designer,  marketer
and  distributor of household cutlery, kitchenware,  cutting
boards,  pantryware  and  bakeware, marketing  its  products
under   various   trade  names  including  Farberwarer   and
Hoffritzr.  Through the use of various brand names, Lifetime
Hoan's  products are distributed through almost every  major
retailer in the U.S.

The information herein contains certain forward-looking
statements including statements concerning the Company's
future prospects.  These statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including risks relating to general economic
conditions and risks relating to the Company's operations,
such as the risk of loss of major customers and risks
relating to changes in demand for the Company's products, as
detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXHIBIT 99

LIFETIME  HOAN  CORPORATION (NASDAQ  NM:  LCUT),  a  leading
marketer  of  housewares, today announced  results  for  the
first quarter ended March 31, 2003.

Net  sales  for the quarter were $24.3 million versus  $24.2
million  in the first quarter of 2002.  The Company reported
a  net  loss from continuing operations of $0.6 million,  or
$0.06  per  diluted  share, compared  to  a  net  loss  from
continuing operations of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per  diluted
share, for the same period in 2002.

Jeffrey  Siegel,  president  and  chief  executive  officer,
commented,  "Net sales for the first quarter  of  2003  were
slightly  below  plan, due principally to weak  demand  from
many  of  our  major customers.  As many of these  retailers
have reported, retail sales in the quarter were affected  by
the  economy,  uncertainty over events in the  Middle  East,
unfavorable  shopping weather in many parts of  the  country
and the late Easter holiday."

Mr.  Siegel  continued, "While many of our customers  expect
consumer demand to remain soft for the balance of the  year,
we  believe the combination of new product introductions and
significant  additional placements of our  core  lines  will

"As we discussed at year-end, Lifetime Hoan has developed  a

shipping in the third quarter.  Our new distribution  center
continues  to function smoothly, and we look forward  to  an
acceleration  in  sales  as  2003  progresses  and  our  new
products and new placements come on stream."

The  Company  reaffirmed its estimates that  Lifetime's  net
sales in 2003 will total approximately $140 million to  $150
million.    Earnings  per  share  are  estimated  to   total
approximately $0.65 to $0.85 for the year.

As  previously announced, Lifetime sold its 51% interest  in
the  businesses  of  each  of Prestige  Italiana,  Spa.  and
Prestige   Haushaltswaren  GmbH  (together,  the   "Prestige
Companies")  in September 2002.  The loss from the  Prestige
Companies'  operations  for the first  quarter  of  2002  is
reflected as discontinued operations on the Company's income
statements.

Separately,  the  Company  announced  that  its   Board   of
Directors  declared  a regular quarterly  cash  dividend  of
$0.0625  per  share, payable on May 20, 2003 to shareholders
