   LIFETIME HOAN REPORTS RECORD SALES AND STRONG EARNINGS
                GROWTH IN SECOND QUARTER 2003

   New Products and Placements Produce Strong Outlook for
                      Remainder of Year


WESTBURY,  N.Y., July 31, 2003 -- LIFETIME HOAN  CORPORATION
(NASDAQ  NM: LCUT), a leading marketer of housewares,  today
announced  results  for the second quarter  ended  June  30,
2003.

Net  sales for the quarter were approximately $30.0  million
versus  $27.3  million in the second quarter of  2002.   The
Company  reported  income  from  continuing  operations   of
$724,000,  or  $0.07 per diluted share, compared  to  income
from continuing operations of $617,000, or $0.06 per diluted
share, for the same period in 2002.

Jeffrey  Siegel,  president  and  chief  executive  officer,
commented, "Lifetime Hoan's performance for the quarter  was
on  track with our expectations.  Despite the continued soft
retail  environment,  we achieved a  10%  growth  in  sales,
primarily  through  increased sales  of  kitchen  tools  and
gadgets and Kamensteinr pantryware."

"We  recently began shipping products from our new CasaModa(R)
line, which is focused on the growing market for casual home
entertainment.   These items include our  S'mores  Maker,  a
new,  patent-pending, home entertaining product.   Based  on
initial shipments, this product, which is designed for  both
indoor  and  outdoor  use, has been an  instant  success  at
retail,  outpacing our expectations and even making  one  of
our  major  customers' "best seller" list.   We  expect  the
S'mores  Maker to be widely available at many of  our  major
retail  customers  by  the  end of  August.   We  have  also
developed  a  number  of  variations  of  this  product  for
introduction in 2004."

Mr.  Siegel  continued,  "The combination  of  exciting  new
products  and significant additional placements of our  core
lines has produced a very positive outlook for Lifetime  for
the balance of 2003.  We are therefore updating our earnings
guidance,  reflecting  our  increased  confidence   in   our
performance  for the remainder of the year.  We  now  expect
Lifetime's  net  sales in 2003 to total  approximately  $148
million  to $155 million.  Earnings per share are  estimated
to total approximately $0.75 to $0.85 for the year."

As  announced in 2002, Lifetime sold its 51% interest in the
businesses  of each of Prestige Italiana, Spa. and  Prestige
Haushaltswaren  GmbH  (together, the "Prestige  Companies").
The  loss  from the Prestige Companies' operations  for  the
second   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  August  19,   2003   to
shareholders of record on August 5, 2003.
