Item 2.02    Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

On May 11, 2007, Helen of Troy Limited (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. Additionally, on May 11, 2007, the Company held a conference call discussing its results for the same period mentioned above. With this Form 8-K, we are furnishing copies of the press release (attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1) and the text of the conference call (attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2). The press release and copy of the text of this conference call are also provided on the Investor Relations Page of our website at: http://www.hotus.com.

The Company desires to avail itself of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") and is including this cautionary statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection afforded by the Act. The accompanying press release and conference call transcript contain certain forward-looking statements, which are subject to change. A number of risks or uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results or from the results or effects contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Generally, the words "anticipates," "believe," "believes," "expects," "expected," "should," "expectation," "hope," "forecasting" and other similar words identify forward-looking statements. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The actual results may differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements. The Company intends its forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of such statements, and does not undertake to update or revise them as more information becomes available. Additional information concerning potential factors that could effect the Company's financial results and the forward-looking statements is included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2007.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or any proxy statement or report or other document we may file with the SEC, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
