ATTACHMENT TO PART IV OF
FORM 12b-25 OF
U.S. HOME & GARDEN INC.
With respect to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2001
Based on information currently available to the Registrant, the
Registrant anticipates that its statement of operations for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2001 ("fiscal 2001") will show a decline in net sales of
approximately 10% when compared to net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2000 ("fiscal 2000"). As a result of, among other things, losses on the
impairment of goodwill and restructuring charges for fiscal 2001, the
Registrant's financial statements will show a loss from operations for fiscal
2001 which, together with a loss from discontinued operations incurred in fiscal
2001, will result in a significant increase in net loss for fiscal 2001 when
compared to fiscal 2000.
