                                  Name: J. Andrew Bolt
                                  Title: Senior Vice President and
                                         Chief Financial Officer






Exhibit A

         Since July 1, 1999 when RSA Acquisition Corporation, an affiliate of
J.W. Childs Equity Partners II, L.P., completed a merger pursuant to which RSA
Acquisition Corporation acquired the remaining shares of American Safety Razor
Company (the "Company"), each class of the Company's securities have been held
by fewer than three hundred persons. Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act, the obligation of an issuer to file periodic reports
pursuant to Section 15(d) generally will be automatically suspended for any
fiscal year in which, at the beginning of the issuer's fiscal year, each class
of the issuer's securities are held by fewer than three hundred persons.
Consequently, the Company has been voluntarily filing periodic reports with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for fiscal year 2000 and for the first
three quarters of fiscal year 2001.

         In a Form 12b-25 filing made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 29, 2002, the Company noted that it intended to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2001 by April 13, 2002. Because
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act does not impose on the Company
the obligation to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2001,
the Company no longer intends to file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
fiscal year 2001 or subsequent periodic reports under Section 15(d) unless it
becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) in the
future.
