                               JARDEN CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Jarden
Corporation (the "Company" or "Jarden") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been included. Results of
operations for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for
the year, particularly in view of the varying seasonality of certain of our
product line sales and the acquisition the Company completed during 2005 (see
Note 4).

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K, and any amendments thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company's financial statements
of the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. These
reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Leasehold Improvements

Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.
Improvements are amortized over the shorter of the unexpired period of the lease
term (and any renewal period if such a renewal is reasonably assured at
inception) or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues at the time of product shipment or delivery,
depending upon when title passes, to unaffiliated customers, and when all of the
following have occurred: a firm sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or
determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized as the
net amount to be received after deducting estimated amounts for product returns,
discounts and allowances. The Company estimates future product returns based
upon historical return rates and its judgment.

Cost of Sales

The Company's cost of sales includes the costs of raw materials and finished
goods purchases, manufacturing costs and warehouse and distribution costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company's selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include
selling, administrative and corporate expenses, including but not limited to
related payroll and employee benefits, including stock-based compensation,
employment taxes, management information systems, marketing, advertising, office
rent, insurance, legal, finance, audit and travel.



                                       7


Product Warranty Costs

The Company recognizes warranty costs based on an estimate of amounts required
to meet future warranty obligations arising as part of the sale of its products.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5 "Accounting for Contingencies",
the Company accrues an estimated liability at the time of a product sale based
on historical claim rates applied to current period sales, as well as any
information applicable to current product sales that may indicate a deviation
from such historical claim rate trends. Included within "Other current
liabilities" and "Other non-current liabilities" in the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2005 was $32.0 million and $4.4
million, respectively, of product warranty reserves.

Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was as follows (in millions):

Warranty reserves at December 31, 2004...............        $      0.3

Balances assumed in AHI Acquisition (see Note 4).....              38.5
Provision for warranties issued......................               9.2
Foreign currency translation.........................              (0.2)
Warranty claims paid.................................             (11.4)
                                                             -----------
  Warranty reserves at March 31, 2005................        $     36.4
                                                             ===========

Included in "Other current liabilities" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2004 was $0.3 million of product warranty
reserves.

Sales Incentives and Trade Promotion Allowances

The Company offers sales incentives and promotional programs to its reseller
customers from time to time in the normal course of business. These incentives
and promotions typically include arrangements known as slotting fees,
cooperative advertising and buydowns, and the Company accounts for these
transactions consistent with the requirements of FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") No. 01-9 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer
(including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)." The majority of such
arrangements are recorded as a reduction to net sales in the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, pursuant to the applicable
provisions of EITF No. 01-9, the Company does include consideration granted in
certain of these transactions as SG&A expenses in its Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The amounts charged to SG&A totaled $1.0 million and
$1.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December
2003) ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
Interpretation of ARB 51." FIN 46R requires consolidation of entities in which
the company is the primary beneficiary, despite not having voting control.
Likewise, it does not permit consolidation of entities in which the company has
voting control but is not the primary beneficiary. The adoption of FIN 46R did
not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") and supercedes Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("Opinion No. 25"). SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
financial statements based on their fair values and the recording of such
expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In April 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued an amendment to Rule 4-01(a)
of Regulation S-X "Compliance Date for Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment." This amendment defers
the effective date of the accounting


                                       8


provisions of SFAS No. 123R to the first fiscal year beginning after June 15,
2005. Accordingly, the Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No.
123R effective January 1, 2006.

Under SFAS No. 123R, the pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS
No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The
Company will need to determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for
valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and
the transition method to be used at the date of adoption. The Company plans to
adopt SFAS No. 123R using the modified-prospective method. Accordingly, the
adoption of SFAS No. 123R's fair value method may have a significant impact on
the Company's results of operations, although it will have no impact on the
overall financial position. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot
be determined at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based
payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R
in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact
of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net (loss) income
applicable to common stockholders and (loss) earnings per share in Note 2.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets--an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29" ("SFAS No. 153"). The guidance in
APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," ("Opinion No.
29") is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be
measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in
Opinion No. 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No.
153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges
of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for
exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the
entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," ("FIN No. 47"), an interpretation of
SFAS No. 143 "Asset Retirement Obligations." FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently assessing the
impact, if any, the adoption of FIN No. 47 will have on the results of its
consolidated operations, financial position or cash flows.

2.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As allowed for by SFAS No. 123, the Company accounts for the issuance of stock
options using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations. Generally, for the Company's stock option plans, no
compensation cost is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations because the exercise price of the Company's stock options equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based
on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans, the Company's
net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders and (loss) earnings per
share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in
thousands, except per share data):

4.   ACQUISITIONS

On January 24, 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of American
Household, Inc. ("AHI" and the "AHI Acquisition"), a privately held company, for
approximately $745.6 million for the equity and the repayment of approximately
$100 million of indebtedness. Of the equity portion of the purchase price, $40
million was held back by the Company from the seller to collateralize potential
indemnification claims against the sellers of AHI. Such amount is recorded as
part of "Deferred consideration for acquisitions" in the non-current liabilities
section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2005. AHI is
the parent of The Coleman Company, Inc. ("Coleman") and Sunbeam Products, Inc.
("SPI"), leading producers of global consumer products through brands such as
BRK(R), Campingaz(R), Coleman(R), First Alert(R), Health o meter(R), Mr.
Coffee(R), Oster(R) and Sunbeam(R). Effective on the acquisition date of January
24, 2005, the SPI business was integrated within the Company's existing
"consumer solutions" segment and the Coleman business formed a new segment named
"outdoor solutions."

On June 28, 2004, the Company acquired Bicycle Holding, Inc., and its
subsidiaries including United States Playing Card Company ("USPC" and "USPC
Acquisition").

The Company financed the AHI Acquisition via the issuance of $350 million of
equity securities (see Note 10) and a new $1.05 billion senior credit facility
("Senior Credit Facility"), consisting of a term loan facility ("Term Loan") in


                                       10


the aggregate principal amount of $850 million and a revolving credit facility
with an aggregate commitment of $200 million (see Note 6). This facility
replaces the Company's Second Amended Credit Agreement ("Second Amended Credit
Agreement"). The AHI Acquisition represents a significant element in advancing
the Company's strategy of acquiring branded consumer products businesses with
leading market positions in markets for products used in and around the home.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information includes the actual
reported results of the Company, as well as giving pro forma effect to the
following as if they had been consummated as of the beginning of the earliest
periods presented:

     1.   the AHI Acquisition and related financings; and
     2.   the USPC Acquisition.

The pro forma net loss applicable to common stockholders for the three month
period ended March 31, 2004 includes $10.5 million of restructuring expenses
incurred by AHI (in millions, except per share data):

Acquisition in accordance with SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No.
141"). When this is completed, the Company expects to record the allocation of
purchase price, and related tax effects, in the applicable business segments.
The Company anticipates the excess purchase price over the fair value of
tangible assets acquired will be allocated primarily to trademarks and goodwill.

In the branded consumables segment, the only intangible assets which had finite
lives and were subject to amortization were two non-compete agreements in the
aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million, which were assumed by the
Company in connection with the USPC Acquisition and which were being amortized
over the term of the respective agreements. Amortization for the non-compete
agreements in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.3 million was recorded in
the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and is included in SG&A


                                       12


expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no
amortization for the three month period ended March 31, 2004.

In the consumer solutions segment, the only intangible assets which have finite
lives and are currently subject to amortization are the manufacturing processes
and expertise and patents, which are both being amortized over a period of seven
years. Amortization for the manufacturing processes and expertise in the
aggregate amount of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million was recorded in
each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and
is included in SG&A expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Amortization of the patents was less than $0.1 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 2005. There was no patent amortization expense in
the three month period ended March 31, 2004.

A portion of the consumer solutions segment's goodwill is recorded on a Canadian
subsidiary's books. Due to the effect of foreign currency translations, such
goodwill decreased by approximately $0.2 million in the three month period ended
March 31, 2005.

As of March 31, 2005, approximately $850 million of the goodwill and other
intangible assets recorded by the Company is not deductible for income tax
purposes. Such amount is subject to change based upon purchase accounting
adjustments that may be made within one year of acquisition.

6.   DEBT

Debt is comprised of the following at March 31, 2005 (in millions):

                                                                 MARCH 31, 2005

Senior Credit Facility

As discussed in Note 4, the AHI Acquisition was partially funded through
drawings on the $1.05 billion Senior Credit Facility, consisting of the $850
million Term Loan and a revolving credit facility with an aggregate commitment
of $200 million. This facility replaced the Second Amended Credit Agreement. As
part of the replacement of the Second Amended Credit Agreement, the Company
recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt in its Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations in connection with the write-off of approximately $6.0
million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs during the three month
period ended March 31, 2005.

As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $847.9 million outstanding under its Term
Loan facilities and $31.3 million outstanding under its revolving credit
facility. As of March 31, 2005, net availability under the credit agreement was
approximately $96.6 million, after deducting $71.4 million of issued letters of
credit and a 5% exchange rate fluctuation allowance for borrowings not
denominated in U.S. dollars. The letters of credit outstanding included $19.9
million securing the deferred consideration arising from the USPC Acquisition.
The Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused balance of the
revolving credit facility.

On April 11, 2005, the Company completed a $100.0 million add-on to its Term
Loan. These proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and strategic
initiatives.


                                       13



Non-U.S. Borrowings

In August 2004, the Japanese subsidiary of the Company, Coleman Japan Company,
Ltd. entered into a term loan facility (the "Japanese Term Loan") to borrow 700
million Japanese Yen. The Japanese Term Loan matures on July 31, 2005. At March
31, 2005, the full amount is outstanding under this facility, which amounts to
$6.5 million (U.S.), and is reflected as "Short term debt and current portion of
long-term debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2005, borrowings outstanding under various other foreign credit
lines entered into by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company totaled $24.5
million, and are reflected as "Short-term debt and current portion of long-term
debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these foreign
credit lines are secured by the non-U.S. subsidiaries' inventory and/or accounts
receivable.

Other Borrowings

As of March 31, 2005, the Company also has various equipment financing
arrangements totaling $2.1 million.

Dividend Restrictions

The Senior Credit Facility contains a covenant which restricts the Company and
its subsidiaries from making certain "restricted payments" (any dividend or
other distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, with respect
to any stock or stock equivalents of the Company or any subsidiary), except
that:

     o    the Company may declare and make dividend payments or other
          distributions payable in common stock;

     o    the Company may pay dividends in respect of the Company's preferred
          stock paid-in-kind and not in cash;

     o    from and after December 1, 2009, the Company may declare and make cash
          dividend payments or other distributions to the holders of the then
          outstanding shares of preferred stock in accordance with the terms of
          the applicable certificate of designations (provided certain
          conditions are met);

     o    the Company may repurchase shares of its own stock (provided certain
          conditions are met);

     o    from and after January 24, 2009, the Company may repurchase or redeem
          shares of its preferred stock; and

     o    the Company may make restricted payments during any fiscal year not
          otherwise permitted, provided that certain applicable thresholds are
          met.

The indenture related to the 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Indenture")
contains a covenant which restricts the Company from declaring or paying any
dividends, or making any other payment or distribution of the Company's equity
interests or to the holders of the Company's equity interests in their capacity
as such (other than distributions payable in equity interests of the Company or
to the Company or a restricted subsidiary of the Company), unless specified
thresholds are met.

Debt Covenant Compliance

The Company was in compliance as of March 31, 2005 with all covenants contained
in the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture.

Each of the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture contain cross-default
provisions pursuant to which a default in respect to certain of the Company's
other indebtedness could trigger a default by the Company under the Senior
Credit Facility and the Indenture. If the Company defaults under the covenants
(including the cross-default provisions) the Company's lenders could foreclose
on their security interest in the Company's assets, which may have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.

The Company's obligations under the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture
governing its 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and
several basis, by certain of its subsidiaries, which are primarily domestic
subsidiaries and all of which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by the
Company. See Note 15, "Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements."

                                       14



Interest Income

The Company periodically receives interest income for excess cash deposited with
financial institutions. Such interest income is recorded as an offset to
interest expense and totaled $0.3 million in each of the three month periods
ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004.

7.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges

On January 24, 2005, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps, effective
on January 26, 2005, that converted the floating rate interest related to an
aggregate of $125 million under the Term Loan for a fixed obligation. Such
interest rate swaps carry a fixed interest rate of 4.025% per annum for a term
of five years. In addition, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps in
December 2004 that were effective on January 4, 2005. These swaps convert the
interest payments related to an aggregate of $300 million of floating rate debt
for a fixed obligation. The first interest rate swap, for $150 million of
notional value, carries a fixed interest rate of 5.625% per annum (including the
2% applicable margin which is due under the credit facility regardless of the
interest rate swaps) for a term of three years. The second interest rate swap,
also for $150 million of notional value, carries a fixed interest rate of
6.0675% per annum (also including the 2% applicable margin) for a term of five
years. All four interest rate swaps have interest payment dates that are the
same as the Term Loan. The swaps are considered to be cash flow hedges and are
also considered to be effective hedges against changes in future interest
payments of the Company's floating-rate debt obligation for both tax and
accounting purposes.

Gains and losses related to the fair value of the interest rate swaps will be
reported as a component of other comprehensive income and will be reclassified
into earnings in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings.
As of March 31, 2005, the fair market value of the Company's cash flow hedges
was favorable in an amount of approximately $8.9 million and was included within
"Other assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Hedges

As of March 31, 2005, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps, which
are accounted for as fair value hedges, was unfavorable in an amount of
approximately $3.9 million and was included within "Other non-current
liabilities" with a corresponding offset to "Long-term debt," in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Foreign Exchange Rate Hedges

The Company utilizes forward foreign exchange rate contracts ("Forward
Contracts") to reduce its foreign currency exchange rate exposures. The Company
designates qualifying Forward Contracts as cash flow hedge instruments.

At March 31, 2005, the fair value of open Forward Contracts was a liability of
approximately $1.7 million, and is reflected in "Other current liabilities" in
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized change in the fair
values of open Forward Contracts from designation date (January 24, 2005) to
March 31, 2005 amounted to $1.5 million, of which $0.7 million is included in
other comprehensive income and the remainder is reflected in SG&A in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. U.S. dollar equivalent
contractual notional amounts to purchase and sell currencies for open foreign
exchange contracts as of March 31, 2005 totaled $86.1 million.

8.   INCOME TAXES

The Company continues its evaluation of the effects, if any, of the impact of
the one-time favorable foreign dividend provision recently enacted as part of
the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Company expects such evaluation to
be completed by September 30, 2005.


                                       15



9.   CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages
and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and
related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The costs are accrued
when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can
be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company's assessment,
after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based
on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the
nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant
information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by
case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be
incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the
minimum end of the range. The Company believes that anticipated probable costs
of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable.

The Company does not believe that the disposition of these legal disputes will
have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company and/or its
subsidiaries are also involved in various other lawsuits arising from time to
time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its
business. The Company believes that the resolution of these routine matters,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

Environmental Matters

The Company's operations, like those of comparable businesses, are subject to
certain federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in
addition to laws and regulations regarding labeling and packaging of products
and the sales of products containing certain environmentally sensitive
materials.

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company
also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, the majority
of which relate to divested operations. The Company or various of its
subsidiaries have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") or a state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible
Party ("PRP") pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws
comparable to the federal law at various sites (collectively the "Environmental
Sites"). The remediation efforts in which the Company is involved include
facility investigations, including soil and groundwater investigations,
corrective measure studies, including feasibility studies, groundwater
monitoring, extraction and treatment and soil sampling, excavation and treatment
relating to environmental clean-ups. In certain instances, the Company has
entered into agreements with governmental authorities to undertake additional
investigatory activities and in other instances have agreed to implement
appropriate remedial actions. The Company, when necessary, has also established
reserve amounts for certain non-compliance matters including those involving air
emissions.

The Company has established reserves to cover the anticipated probable costs of
investigation and remediation, based upon periodic reviews of all sites for
which they have, or may have remediation responsibility. The Company or various
of its subsidiaries accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the amount of the
liability can be reasonably estimated and their responsibility for the liability
is established. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the
earlier of formal commitment to an investigation plan, completion of a
feasibility study or a commitment to a formal plan of action. The Company
accrued its best estimate of investigation and remediation costs based upon
facts known at such dates and because of the inherent difficulties in estimating
the ultimate amount of environmental costs, which are further described below,
these estimates may materially change in the future as a result of the
uncertainties described below. Estimated costs, which are based upon experience
with similar sites and technical evaluations, are judgmental in nature and are
recorded at undiscounted amounts without considering the impact of inflation and
are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in applicable laws or regulations,
changes in available technologies and receipt by the Company of new information.
It is difficult to estimate the ultimate level of future environmental
expenditures due to a number of uncertainties surrounding environmental
liabilities. These uncertainties include the applicability of laws and
regulations, changes in environmental remediation requirements, the enactment of
additional regulations, uncertainties surrounding remediation procedures
including the development of new technology, the identification of new sites for
which the Company and various of its subsidiaries could be a PRP, information
relating to the exact


                                       16


nature and extent of the contamination at each site and the extent of required
cleanup efforts, the uncertainties with respect to the ultimate outcome of
issues which may be actively contested and the varying costs of alternative
remediation strategies. The Company continues to pursue the recovery of some
environmental remediation costs from certain of its liability insurance
carriers; however, such potential recoveries have not been offset against
potential liabilities and have not been considered in determining environmental
reserves. The Company is also protected from certain increases in liabilities
through the indemnification provisions of the AHI Acquisition.

Due to uncertainty over remedial measures to be adopted at some sites, the
possibility of changes in environmental laws and regulations and the fact that
joint and several liability with the right of contribution is possible at
federal and state Superfund sites, the Company's ultimate future liability with
respect to sites at which remediation has not been completed may vary from the
amounts reserved as of March 31, 2005.

The Company believes that the costs of completing environmental remediation of
all sites for which the Company has a remediation responsibility have been
adequately reserved and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Liability Matters

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company and/or its
subsidiaries face the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving
claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than
anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. These claims
could result in liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are party to various personal injury and
property damage lawsuits relating to their products and incidental to its
business. Annually, the Company sets its product liability insurance program
which is an occurrence-based program based on the Company and its subsidiaries'
current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of
insurance. The Company's product liability insurance program generally is
comprised of a self-insurance retention per occurrence and an aggregate limit on
exposure.

Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by the Company with respect to
pending and potential claims for all years in which the Company is liable under
its self-insurance retention have been accrued as liabilities. Such accrued
liabilities are based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made
by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into
account prior experience, number of claims and other relevant factors); thus,
the Company's ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued.
The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting liability
are reviewed on a regular basis and any adjustments resulting therefrom are
reflected in current operating results.

Historically, product liability awards have rarely exceeded the Company's
individual per occurrence self-insured retention. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company's future product liability experience will be
consistent with its past experience. Based on current information, the Company
believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability
claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

10.  EQUITY

As discussed in Note 4, in connection with the AHI Acquisition, the Company
issued $350 million of equity securities pursuant to a purchase agreement
("Equity Purchase Agreement"). The securities issued were as follows:

     (i)    714,286 shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") for
            approximately $21.4 million at a price of $30 per share;

     (ii)   128,571 shares or $128.6 million of a new class of the Company's
            preferred stock, Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock
            ("Series B Preferred Stock") with a paid-in-kind dividend rate of
            3.5% per annum; and

     (iii)  200,000 shares or $200 million of a new class of the Company's
            preferred stock, Series C Mandatory Convertible Participating
            Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") with an initial
            paid-in-kind


                                       17


            dividend rate of 3.5% per annum which increases to 5.0% per annum in
            August 2005, then increases by 50 basis points every 6 months after
            August 31, 2005 if stockholder approval of conversion into Series B
            Preferred Stock and Common Stock is not obtained.

In accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreement and a related Assignment and
Joinder Agreement, approximately $300 million of the Company's equity securities
were issued to Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, LP and its affiliates and
approximately $50 million were issued to Catterton Partners V, LP and its
affiliates, both private equity investors (collectively "Private Equity
Investors"). The cash raised in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement
was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price of AHI.

In accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreement, a beneficial conversion charge
of $16.5 million was recorded upon the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock
and Common Stock issued on January 24, 2005 and it is expected that an
additional beneficial conversion charge of $22.4 million will be recorded if the
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into Series B Preferred Stock and
Common Stock is approved by stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders
("Annual Meeting") in June 2005. Such charge reflects the difference between the
respective conversion prices of the Series B and C Preferred Stock and the
closing market price of the Common Stock on September 17, 2004, the last
business day before the execution of the transaction documents ("Execution
Date"). However, the terms of the preferred and common stock issuances to the
Private Equity Investors were negotiated during the two months leading up to the
Execution Date when the average market price of the Common Stock was, in fact,
less than the conversion price.

The terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement require stockholder approval prior to
the mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into a combination of
Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock. Subsequent to stockholder approval
and mandatory conversion, the total new equity of the Company issued to the
Private Equity Investors will consist of $300 million of Series B Preferred
Stock plus accrued interest thereon (convertible at $32 per share) and 1,666,667
shares of Common Stock. The stockholders are scheduled to vote on this matter
during the Annual Meeting.

The Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible into Series B Preferred Stock or
Common Stock without stockholder approval and the Series C Preferred Stock is
redeemable by the investors at any time after 6 1/2 years, as such the Series C
Preferred Stock is recorded as temporary equity in the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2005.

The respective Certificates of Designation for the Series B and Series C
Preferred Stock each prohibit the Company from taking certain actions, including
the payment of dividends under certain circumstances.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company issued 59,962
restricted shares of Common Stock to certain members of management and employees
under the Company's 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. The issuance was net of certain
forfeitures that took place during the same quarter. The restrictions on these
shares will lapse ratably over two years of employment with the Company. The
Company issued all the restricted shares out of its treasury account.

11.  EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION

Basic (loss) earnings per share are computed by dividing net (loss) income
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share are
calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares
plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other convertible securities as if
they were exercised and restricted common stock. A computation of (loss)
earnings per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

12.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans for certain of its employees
and provides certain postretirement medical and life insurance benefits for a
portion of its employees. In January 2005, in connection with the AHI
Acquisition, the Company acquired plan assets and assumed the benefit
obligations of the pension and postretirement medical and life insurance plans
of AHI. Except for one, all of the AHI pension plans are frozen to new entrants
and to benefit accruals. Also, only one postretirement medical plan is open to a
limited number of new retirees. The other AHI postretirement medical plans are
frozen to new entrants.

In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization
Act of 2003 ("Medicare Act") was signed into law. The Medicare Act introduced a
prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D and a federal subsidy to
sponsors of retirement health care plans that provide a benefit that is at least
actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. In May 2004, FASB Staff Position No.
FAS 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" ("FSP 106-2"). FSP
106-2, which provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Medicare
Act, requires companies eligible for Federal subsidies under the Medicare Act to
recognize the expected benefit in their determination of the accumulated benefit
obligation for their postretirement plans.

The Company sponsors several different retiree medical plans for certain current
and former employees of some of its business units. Some of these plans cover
prescription drug benefits for Medicare-eligible participants. Based on final
regulations and guidance issued in January 2005, the Company does not expect the
subsidy receipts to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with the AHI Acquisition, the Company assumed the pension plans of
non-US subsidiaries. Net periodic pension costs for foreign plans include the
following components (in thousands):

                                            THREE MONTH

                                         ================

The Company had no net periodic pension cost for foreign plans in the three
month period ended March 31, 2004.

Domestic Contributions

The Company funds its pension and postretirement plans in amounts consistent
with applicable laws and regulations. Following the AHI Acquisition in January
2005, the Company expects to contribute $3.6 million to its domestic pension
plans and $1.7 million to other postretirement benefit plans for the year ending
December 31, 2005 which includes an increase over the estimates made prior to
the AHI Acquisition.

Foreign Contributions

The Company funds its pension plans in amounts consistent with applicable laws
and regulations. Prior to the AHI Acquisition, the Company had no foreign
pension plans. As a result of the AHI Acquisition, the Company expects to
contribute $0.6 million to its foreign pension plans for the year ending
December 31, 2005.

13.  REORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION-RELATED INTEGRATION COSTS

Branded Consumables Segment Reorganization

As part of the AHI Acquisition, during the first quarter of 2005, the Company
began implementing a strategic plan to reorganize its branded consumables
segment and thereby facilitate long-term cost savings and improve management and
reporting capabilities. Specific cost savings initiatives include the
utilization of certain shared distribution and warehousing services and
information systems platforms. Reorganization costs relating to this strategic
plan are currently estimated at approximately $2.3 million, excluding any
capital expenditures. During the three month period ended March 31, 2005, the
Company recorded charges of approximately $1.0 million consisting of severance


                                       20


and other employee benefit-related costs of $0.8 million (including a non-cash
charge of $0.6 million) and other costs of $0.2 million which are reflected in
"Reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs" in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2005, the Company paid $0.1
million in severance and other employee benefit related costs and $0.1 million
in other costs. As of March 31, 2005, approximately $0.2 million of the charge
recorded remains accrued and is reflected in "Other current liabilities" in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The majority of the amounts currently
accrued are expected to be paid by December 31, 2005. The initiative is
currently scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2006.

Outdoor Solutions Segment Outsourcing

During 2003, Coleman announced its intention to outsource the manufacturing of
its outdoor recreation appliances manufactured at its Lyon, France facility. In
2004, Coleman initiated the outsourcing activities upon completion of reviews
conducted by government and union officials. Other manufacturing operations in
Lyon will be unaffected by this move. During the three month period ended March
31, 2005, the Company recorded charges of approximately $0.4 million, which are
reflected in "Reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs" in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges primarily consist
of costs associated with the plant closing and related costs. The initiative is
currently scheduled to be substantially completed in 2006 and is expected to
result in the termination of 125 employees, of which 32 were terminated as of
March 31, 2005. The Company currently expects that it will incur additional
charges of approximately $2.7 million related to this initiative. During the
first quarter of 2005, the Company paid $0.8 million in severance and other
employee benefit-related costs and $0.5 million in other costs. As of March 31,
2005, $9.9 million, primarily related to severance and other employee
benefit-related costs, remains accrued, of which $6.3 million is reflected in
"Other current liabilities" and $3.6 million is reflected in "Other non-current
liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts accrued
are expected to be fully paid by 2007.

Consumer Solutions Segment Reorganization

As part of the AHI Acquisition, it was determined that, due to similarities
between the pre- and post-AHI Acquisition consumer solution customer bases,
distribution channels and operations, significant cost savings could be achieved
by combining certain functions of the two businesses such as distribution and
warehousing, information technology and certain other back-office functions, in
order to take advantage of a shared infrastructure and facilitate combined
strategic management of this business segment. During the three month period
ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded charges of approximately $0.6 million
consisting primarily of severance and other employee benefit-related costs which
are reflected in "Reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs" in
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The initiative is currently
scheduled to be completed in February 2006 and is expected to result in the
termination of approximately 70 employees, of which 7 were terminated as of
March 31, 2005. The Company currently expects that it will incur additional
charges of approximately $9.6 million related to this initiative, excluding any
capital expenditures. During the three month period ended March 31, 2005, the
Company paid $0.7 million of retention bonuses which are being amortized over
the retention period, and $0.2 million for severance and other employee
benefit-related costs.

Corporate Reorganization and Acquisition-Related Integration Costs

As part of the AHI Acquisition, it was determined that certain corporate
functions of the two entities would be combined and redundant functions would be
eliminated. Further, certain functions and responsibilities would be
transitioned to the Company's offices in Florida while other functions would
remain in the Company's New York headquarters.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded charges
of approximately $0.9 million consisting of severance and other employee
benefit-related costs ($0.5 million) and other costs ($0.4 million) which are
reflected in "Reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs" in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other costs consist primarily
of recruitment fees, relocations costs and travel expenses directly associated
with the reorganization. The initiative is currently scheduled to be completed
in June 2005 and resulted in the termination of 10 employees as of March 31,
2005. The Company currently expects that it will incur additional charges of
approximately $0.5 million related to this initiative. During the first three
months of 2005, the Company paid $0.5 million in severance and other employee
benefit-related costs and $0.4 million in other costs. There is no


                                       21


accrual recorded as of March 31, 2005. Separately, approximately 20 employees
were terminated with the closing of the AHI Acquisition. The severance costs
associated with these terminations were paid by the Company and were included in
the determination of the cost of the AHI Acquisition.

The following table sets forth the details and the activity related to
reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs as of March 31, 2005

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

From time to time, we may make or publish forward-looking statements relating to
such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects,
technological developments, new products and similar matters. Such statements
are necessarily estimates reflecting management's best judgment based on current
information. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a
safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such statements are usually
identified by the use of words or phrases such as "believes", "anticipates",
"expects", "estimates", "planned", "outlook" and "goal". Because forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties, our actual results could differ
materially. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we note that a
variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in
forward-looking statements.

Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate
assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary
materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected.
Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are
advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects
in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Please see our Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004 for a
list of factors which could cause our Company's actual results to differ
materially from those projected in our Company's forward-looking statements and
certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and
results of our business. You should understand that it is not possible to
predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any
such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

The following "Overview" section is a brief summary of the significant issues
addressed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations ("MD&A"). Investors should read the relevant sections of
this MD&A for a complete discussion of the issues summarized below.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider of niche consumer products used in and around the
home, under well-known brand names including Ball(R), Bee(R), Bicycle(R),
Campingaz(R), Coleman(R), Diamond(R), First Alert(R), FoodSaver(R), Forster(R),
Health o meter(R), Hoyle(R), Kerr(R), Lehigh(R), Leslie-Locke(R),
Loew-Cornell(R), Mr. Coffee(R), Oster(R), Sunbeam(R) and VillaWare(R). We
operate through four business segments: Branded Consumables, Consumer Solutions,
Outdoor Solutions and Other and are the market leader in several targeted
consumer categories, including home canning, home vacuum packaging, kitchen
matches, playing cards, rope, cord and twine, coffee makers, blenders, toasters,
smoke alarms, camping tents and lanterns, coolers and sleeping bags. We also
manufacture zinc strip and a wide array of plastic products for third party
consumer product and medical companies, as well as our own businesses.

Results of Operations

o    Our net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005 increased to
     $521.3 million or approximately 229% over the same period in 2004;

o    Our operating earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005 increased
     to $21.1 million or 18.5% over the same period in 2004. Such increase was
     after expensing the manufacturer's profit in inventory of $16.4 million and
     reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs of $2.9 million
     incurred in the first quarter of 2005, which had the effect of reducing our
     operating earnings reported under generally accepted accounting principles
     in the United States ("GAAP");

o    We had net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005 that was
     breakeven, compared to net income for the first quarter ended March 31,
     2004 of $7.5 million. Our breakeven results in 2005 were caused by the
     following amounts which are shown net of related tax benefits: $10.2
     million purchase accounting adjustment of manufacturer's profit in
     inventory, $1.8 million of reorganization and acquisition-related
     integration costs and


                                       27


     $3.7 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt resulting from the new
     financing entered into as part of the acquisition of American Household,
     Inc. ("AHI" and "AHI Acquisition"); and

o    On a pro forma basis our net sales grew organically by over 3% in the first
     quarter on a year over year basis. The increase in our actual net sales was
     primarily the result of the acquisitions we completed in 2005 and 2004,
     which are described in detail in "Acquisition Activity" below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

o    On January 24, 2005, we completed our acquisition of AHI, a privately held
     company, for approximately $745.6 million for the equity and the repayment
     of approximately $100 million of indebtedness (see "Acquisition Activity").
     The AHI Acquisition was funded through a combination of new debt and equity
     financing (see "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources");

o    Our liquidity, as measured by cash and cash equivalents on hand and
     availability under our debt facility, was higher at March 31, 2005 than at
     December 31, 2004. As of March 31, 2005, we had $41.8 million of cash on
     hand and $96.6 million of availability under our new senior credit
     facility. In addition, on April 11, 2005, we drew down a further $100
     million of the term loan under our new senior credit facility.

o    We ended the first quarter of 2005 with a higher net debt-to-total market
     capitalization ratio, than as of December 31, 2004, due to the additional
     debt incurred to partially fund the AHI Acquisition, partially offset by an
     increase in our market capitalization;

o    We increased total stockholders' equity to approximately $510 million at
     March 31, 2005 from approximately $334 million at December 31, 2004,
     primarily due to the issuance of both common stock and Series B Convertible
     Participating Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") in connection
     with the AHI Acquisition (see "Acquisition Activity" and "Financial
     Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources"); and

o    Our cash used in operations in the first three months of 2005 was $84.6
     million compared to cash used in operations of $0.6 million in the first
     three months of 2004. The increase in cash used in operations is
     principally due to the timing of the AHI Acquisition and the seasonal
     working capital requirements of the newly acquired AHI operations,
     particularly the outdoor solutions segment.

We intend for the discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations, including our acquisition activities that follows, to provide
information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the
changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year,
and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain
accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our financial statements.
We manage the operating units within each business segment as one combined
entity from a profit and loss perspective and accordingly the variances
resulting from our acquisition activity has only been shown for sales by product
line. It would not be meaningful to split out selling, general and
administrative costs within a business segment by product line.

ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

On January 24, 2005, we completed our acquisition of AHI, a privately held
company, for approximately $745.6 million for the equity and the repayment of
approximately $100 million of indebtedness. Of the equity portion of the
purchase price, we held back $40 million from the sellers to collateralize
potential indemnification claims against the sellers of AHI. Such amount is
recorded as part of "Deferred consideration for acquisitions" in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2005. AHI is the parent of The
Coleman Company, Inc. ("Coleman") and Sunbeam Products, Inc. ("SPI"), leading
producers of global consumer products through brands such as BRK(R),
Campingaz(R), Coleman(R), First Alert(R), Health o meter(R), Mr. Coffee(R),
Oster(R) and Sunbeam(R). Product lines added include appliances, personal care
and wellness, home safety, outdoor leisure and camping products. Effective on
the acquisition date of January 24, 2005, the SPI business was integrated within
our existing Consumer Solutions segment and the Coleman business formed a new
segment named Outdoor Solutions. Financing for the AHI Acquisition is discussed
in "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

On June 28, 2004, we acquired Bicycle Holding, Inc., and its subsidiaries
including the United States Playing Card Company ("USPC" and "USPC
Acquisition").



                                       28


Pro forma financial information for the AHI Acquisition and the USPC Acquisition
is presented in Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) The USPC business is included in the branded consumables segment effective
June 28, 2004.

(2) The Jarden Consumer Solutions (formerly SPI business of AHI) is included in
the consumer solutions segment effective January 24, 2005.

(3) The outdoor solutions segment was created upon the purchase of the Coleman
business with the AHI Acquisition, effective January 24, 2005.

(4) Intersegment sales are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany
profit on intersegment sales.


We reported net sales of $521.3 million for the first quarter of 2005, an
approximately 229% increase from net sales of $158.3 million in the first
quarter of 2004.

In the first quarter of 2005, our branded consumables segment reported net sales
of $111.7 million compared to $74.9 million in the first quarter of 2004.
Acquisitions completed during 2004 accounted for $40.3 million of the increase,
partially offset by a decrease in businesses owned prior to 2004 of $3.5
million. The decline in sales of the businesses owned for over one year is
principally due to the timing of shipments of kitchen products to certain
customers and a promotion that was undertaken in the first quarter of 2004 not
being repeated in 2005.

In the first quarter of 2005, our consumer solutions segment recorded net sales
of $190.8 million compared to $45.2 million in the first quarter of 2004. This
increase of approximately 322% was the result of the AHI Acquisition, effective
January 24, 2005, which accounted for $155.9 million of the increase, offset by
a $10.2 million decrease primarily in sales of our FoodSaver(R) machines. The
decline in FoodSaver(R) sales, which started towards the end of 2004, is
anticipated to continue until the second half of 2005 and results primarily from
a shift in the mix of the business to lower priced stock keeping units or
"SKUs."

In the first quarter of 2005, our outdoor solutions segment recorded net sales
of $182.9 million. This segment was created upon the purchase of the Coleman
business with the AHI Acquisition, effective January 24, 2005.

Our sales are principally within the United States. Our international operations
are mainly based in Europe, Canada, Latin America and Japan. Net sales of our
products outside of the United States were approximately $158 million and $10
million, for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively,
or on a percentage basis approximately 30% and 6% of our net sales for the same
periods, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2005, our other segment reported net sales of $51.7
million compared to $52.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. The net sales of
our plastics business was $1.2 million higher, principally due to higher sales
of plastic cutlery and Ball(R) freezer jars to our branded consumables segment.
The net sales of our zinc business was $2.0 million lower, principally due to
timing differences in our low denomination coinage sales.



                                       29


We reported operating earnings of $21.1 million in the first quarter of 2005
compared to operating earnings of $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2004.
This increase of $3.3 million or 18.5%, occurred after purchase accounting
adjustments for manufacturer's profit in inventory of $16.4 million and
reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs of $2.9 million, which
had the effect of reducing our operating earnings reported under GAAP. Excluding
the impact of these items, our operating earnings would have been approximately
127% higher than the prior year first quarter. The principal reason for this
increase was the effect of our 2005 and 2004 acquisitions.

Gross margin percentages on a consolidated basis decreased to 23.2% in the first
quarter of 2005 from 30.6% in the first quarter of 2004. The gross margin
percentage in the first quarter of 2005 would have been 26.3% absent the
negative impact of the purchase accounting adjustments for manufacturer's profit
in inventory. The principal reason for the remaining decrease was due to the
addition of the acquired AHI product lines, which have historically lower gross
margins than the prior year Jarden businesses.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $97.0 million
in the first quarter of 2005 from $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2004 or,
as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 18.6% in the first quarter of 2005
from 19.3% in the first quarter of 2004. The increase in dollar terms was
principally the result of the acquisitions completed during 2004 and 2005 which
in total added an incremental amount of $66.4 million to our S,G&A expenses. The
decrease in percentage terms was principally due to the inclusion of the
acquired AHI businesses.

Net interest expense increased to $15.0 million for the first quarter of 2005
compared to $5.6 million in the same period last year. This increase was
principally due to higher levels of outstanding debt in the first quarter of
2005 compared to the same period in 2004, resulting from the additional debt
financing required to fund the acquisitions of AHI and USPC. In addition, our
weighted average interest rate increased from 5.6% in the first quarter of 2004
to 6.1% in the first quarter of 2005.

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 38.0% compared to an
effective tax rate of 38.2% in the first quarter of 2004.

We had breakeven net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared
to net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $7.5 million. This
breakeven net income resulted from the following amounts which are shown net of
related tax benefits: $10.2 million of purchase accounting adjustments for
manufacturer's profit in inventory, $1.8 million of reorganization and
acquisition-related integration costs and $3.7 million of loss on early
extinguishment of debt resulting from the new financing required for the AHI
Acquisition.

In connection with the AHI Acquisition, we also issued $350 million of equity
securities, comprised of $21.4 million of our common stock, $128.6 million of
our Series B Preferred Stock and $200.0 million of our Series C Mandatory
Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") to
certain private equity investors (see "Financial Condition, Liquidity and
Capital Resources"). As a result, our net income for the first quarter of 2005
was reduced to a net loss by paid-in-kind dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock in the aggregate amount of approximately
$5.5 million and by a one-time charge from the beneficial conversion feature of
the Series B Preferred Stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $16.5
million. Therefore, our net loss applicable to common stockholders was $22.0
million for the first quarter of 2005 and our diluted loss per share was $0.76,
compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.27 for the same quarter last year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter of 2005, the following changes were made to our capital
resources:

     o    we completed a new $1.05 billion senior credit facility, consisting of
          a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $850 million
          ("Term Loan") and a revolving credit facility with an aggregate
          commitment of $200 million, to partially fund the AHI Acquisition;

     o    we issued $350 million of equity securities pursuant to a purchase
          agreement ("Equity Purchase Agreement") to also partially fund the AHI
          Acquisition;

     o    we issued 59,962 restricted shares of common stock to certain members
          of our management and employees under our 2003 Stock Incentive Plan;



                                       30


     o    we entered into two interest rate swaps that converted the floating
          rate interest payments related to an aggregate of $125 million under
          the Term Loan for a fixed obligation; and

     o    We entered into two other interest rate swaps in December 2004 that
          were effective on January 4, 2005, and which converted the floating
          rate interest payments related to an aggregate of $300 million under
          the Term Loan for a fixed obligation.

Specifically, in January 2005, the AHI Acquisition was partially funded through
drawings on a new $1.05 billion senior credit facility, consisting of an
aggregate principal amount of $850 million of Term Loan and a revolving credit
facility with an aggregate commitment of $200 million. This facility replaced
our Second Amended Credit Agreement.

Also, in connection with the AHI Acquisition, we issued $350 million of equity
securities pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. The securities issued were
as follows:

     o    714,286 shares of our common stock ("Common Stock") for approximately
          $21.4 million at a price of $30 per share;

     o    128,571 shares or $128.6 million of our Series B Preferred Stock
          with a paid-in-kind dividend rate of 3.5% per annum; and

     o    200,000 shares or $200 million of our Series C Preferred Stock with
          an initial paid-in-kind dividend rate of 3.5% per annum, which
          increases to 5.0% per annum in August 2005, then increases by 50 basis
          points every 6 months after August 31, 2005 if stockholder approval of
          conversion into Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock is not
          obtained.

In accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreement and a related Assignment and
Joinder Agreement, approximately $300 million of our equity securities were
issued to Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, LP and its affiliates and
approximately $50 million were issued to Catterton Partners V, LP and its
affiliates, both private equity investors (collectively "Private Equity
Investors"). The cash raised in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement
was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price of AHI.

In accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreement, a beneficial conversion charge
of $16.5 million was recorded upon the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock
and Common Stock issued on January 24, 2005 and it is expected that an
additional beneficial conversion charge of $22.4 million will be recorded if the
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into Series B Preferred Stock and
Common Stock is approved by stockholders at the annual stockholders meeting
("Annual Meeting") in June 2005. Such charge reflects the difference between the
respective conversion prices of the Series B and C Preferred Stock and the
closing market price of the Common Stock on September 17, 2004, the last
business day before the execution of the transaction documents ("Execution
Date"). However, the terms of the preferred and common stock issuances to the
Private Equity Investors were negotiated during the two months leading up to the
Execution Date when the average market price of the Common Stock was, in fact,
less than the conversion price.

The terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement require stockholder approval prior to
the mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into a combination of
Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock. Subsequent to our stockholders
approval and mandatory conversion, the total amount of our new equity that will
be issued to the Private Equity Investors will consist of $300 million of Series
B Preferred Stock plus accrued interest thereon (convertible at $32 per share)
and 1,666,667 shares of Common Stock. Our stockholders are scheduled to vote on
this matter during the Annual Meeting. The sale and issuance of common stock in
the public market issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and
Series C Preferred Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could
put downward pressure on the prevailing market price of the Company's common
stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we issued 59,962 restricted shares
of our common stock to certain of our management and employees under our 2003
Stock Incentive Plan. The issuance was net of certain forfeitures that took
place during the same quarter. The restrictions on these shares will lapse
ratably over two years of employment with us. We issued all the restricted
shares out of our treasury account.

On January 24, 2005, we entered into two interest rate swaps, effective on
January 26, 2005, that convert the floating rate interest related to an
aggregate of $125 million under the Term Loan for a fixed obligation. Such
interest rate swaps carry a fixed interest rate of 4.025% per annum for a term
of five years. In addition, we entered into two


                                       31


interest rate swaps in December 2004 that were effective on January 4, 2005.
These swaps convert the interest payments related to an aggregate of $300
million of floating rate debt for a fixed obligation. The first interest rate
swap, for $150 million of notional value, carries a fixed interest rate of
5.625% per annum (including the 2% applicable margin which is due under the
credit facility regardless of the interest rate swaps) for a term of three
years. The second interest rate swap, also for $150 million of notional value,
carries a fixed interest rate of 6.0675% per annum (also including the 2%
applicable margin) for a term of five years. All four interest rate swaps have
interest payment dates that are the same as the Term Loan. The swaps are
considered to be cash flow hedges and are also considered to be effective hedges
against changes in future interest payments of our floating-rate debt obligation
for both tax and accounting purposes.

Gains and losses related to the fair value of the interest rate swaps will be
reported as a component of other comprehensive income and will be reclassified
into earnings in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings.
As of March 31, 2005, the fair market values of our cash flow hedges was
favorable in an amount of approximately $8.9 million and was included within
"Other assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31,
2005, the fair value of our interest rate swaps, which are accounted for as fair
value hedges, was unfavorable in an amount of approximately $3.9 million and was
included within "Other non-current liabilities" with a corresponding offset to
"Long-term debt" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We utilize forward foreign exchange rate contracts ("Forward Contracts") to
reduce our foreign currency exchange rate exposures. We designate qualifying
Forward Contracts as cash flow hedge instruments. At March 31, 2005, the fair
value of our open Forward Contracts was a liability of approximately $1.7
million, and is reflected in "Other current liabilities" in our Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized change in the fair values of open
Forward Contracts from designation date (January 24, 2005) to March 31, 2005
amounted to $1.5 million, of which $0.7 million is included in other
comprehensive income and the remainder is reflected in SG&A in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. U.S. dollar equivalent contractual
notional amounts to purchase and sell currencies for open foreign exchange
contracts as of March 31, 2005 totaled $86.1 million.

As of March 31, 2005, we had $847.9 million outstanding under our Term Loan
facilities and $31.3 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. As
of March 31, 2005, net availability under the credit agreement was
approximately $96.6 million, after deducting $71.4 million of issued letters of
credit and a 5% exchange rate fluctuation allowance for borrowings not
denominated in U.S. dollars (see "Recent Developments"). The letters of credit
outstanding included $19.9 million securing the deferred consideration arising
from a 2004 acquisition. We are required to pay commitment fees on the unused
balance of the revolving credit facility.

As of March 31, 2005, borrowings outstanding under various other foreign credit
lines entered into by certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled $24.5
million, and were reflected as "Short-term debt and current portion of long-term
debt" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these foreign
credit lines are secured by the non-U.S. subsidiaries' inventory and/or accounts
receivable.

As of March 31, 2005, we also had various equipment financing arrangements
totaling $2.1 million.

Working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) increased
to $550.6 million at March 31, 2005 from $181.4 million at December 31, 2004,
primarily due to the addition of the working capital of Coleman and SPI.

Cash flows used in operations were $84.6 million for the first quarter of 2005
compared to cash flows used in operations of $0.6 million for the first quarter
of 2004. The increase in cash used in operations is principally due to the
timing of the AHI Acquisition and the seasonal working capital requirements of
the newly acquired AHI operations, particularly the outdoor solutions segment.

Capital expenditures were $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to
$1.3 million in the first quarter of 2004 and are largely related to maintaining
and integrating facilities, tooling projects and improving manufacturing
efficiencies. As of March 31, 2005, we had capital expenditure commitments in
the aggregate for all our segments of approximately $7.0 million.



                                       32


We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from our
operations and our availability under our senior credit facility is adequate to
satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the
foreseeable future. However, we may raise additional capital from time to time
to take advantage of favorable conditions in the capital markets or in
connection with our corporate development activities (see "Recent
Developments").

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We amended the employment agreements of three of our senior executives Messrs.
Martin E. Franklin, Ian G.H. Ashken and James E. Lillie in January 2005, which
were filed as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 to the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2005,
and incorporated herein by reference.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

On April 11, 2005, we completed a $100.0 million add-on to the Term Loan. These
proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and strategic initiatives.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In addition to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K the following represent a summary of critical accounting
policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to
the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and/or
require management's significant judgments and estimates:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues at the time of product shipment or delivery, depending
upon when title passes, to unaffiliated customers, and when all of the following
have occurred: a firm sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or
determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Our revenue is recognized as
the net amount to be received after deducting estimated amounts for product
returns, discounts and allowances. We estimate future product returns based upon
historical return rates and our judgment.

Sales Incentives and Trade Promotion Allowances

We offer sales incentives and promotional programs to our reseller customers
from time to time in the normal course of business. These incentives and
promotions typically include arrangements known as slotting fees, cooperative
advertising and buydowns, and we account for these transactions consistent with
the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 01-9 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a
Vendor to a Customer (including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)." The
majority of such arrangements are recorded as a reduction to net sales in our
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, pursuant to the
applicable provisions of EITF No. 01-9, we include consideration granted in
certain of these transactions as SG&A expenses in our Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise
from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the
Environmental Protection Agency has designated our Company as a potentially
responsible party, along with numerous other companies, for the clean up of
several hazardous waste sites. Based on currently available information, we do
not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes
our Company is currently involved in will require material capital or operating
expenses or will otherwise have a material adverse effect upon the financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows or competitive position of our
Company. It is possible, that as additional information becomes available, the
impact on our Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In general, business enterprises can be exposed to market risks including
fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency values, and interest rates
that can affect the cost of operating, investing and financing. The Company's
exposures to these risks are low. The Company's plastic consumables business
purchases resin from regular commercial sources of supply and, in most cases,
multiple sources. The supply and demand for plastic resins is subject to
cyclical and other market factors. With many of our external customers, we have
the ability to pass through price increases with an increase in our selling
price and certain of our external customers purchase the resin used in products
we manufacture for them. The Company's zinc business has sales arrangements with
a majority of its customers such that sales are priced either based upon supply
contracts that provide for fluctuations in the price of zinc to be passed on to
the customer or are conducted on a tolling basis whereby customers supply zinc
to the Company for processing. Such arrangements as well as the zinc business
utilizing forward buy contracts reduce the exposure of this business to changes
in the price of zinc.

The Company, from time to time, invests in short-term financial instruments with
original maturities usually less than fifty days. The Company is exposed to
short-term interest rate variations with respect to Eurodollar or Base Rate on
certain of its term and revolving debt obligations and six month LIBOR in
arrears on certain of its interest rate swaps. The spreads on the interest rate
swaps range from 523 to 528 basis points. Settlements on the interest rate swaps
are made on May 1 and November 1. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the other party to its current existing swaps, a
large financial institution. However, the Company does not anticipate
non-performance by the other party.

Changes in Eurodollar or LIBOR interest rates would affect the earnings of the
Company either positively or negatively depending on the direction of the
change. Assuming that Eurodollar and LIBOR rates each increased 100 basis points
over period end rates on the outstanding term debt and interest rate swaps, the
Company's interest expense would have increased by approximately $1.1 million
and $0.7 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and March 31,
2004, respectively. The amount was determined by considering the impact of the
hypothetical interest rates on the Company's borrowing cost, short-term
investment rates, interest rate swaps and estimated cash flow. Actual changes in
rates may differ from the assumptions used in computing this exposure.

The Company does not invest or trade in any significant derivative financial or
commodity instruments, nor does it invest in any foreign financial instruments
other than for hedging of foreign denominated currency transactions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company's management,
including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report.

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, the Company's management,
including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine
whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this quarterly report
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

On January 27, 2005, the Company reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K the
AHI Acquisition and on March 24, 2005, reported financial statements and other
information for AHI in its Current Report on Form 8-K/A - Amendment No. 1. The
Company considers the acquisition of AHI as material to the results of its
operations, financial position and cash flows from the date of acquisition
through March 31, 2005 and considers the controls and procedures of AHI to be
reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, the Company is extending its Section 404
compliance efforts to include AHI. In addition, in January 2005, the Company
established a separate and larger internal audit and Rule 404 compliance
department with a direct reporting relationship to the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors and engaged outside consultants in a co-sourcing relationship
to help accomplish the department's objectives.
