U.S. Home & Garden Announces Adjournment of Special Stockholders Meeting
Thursday June 26, 3:53 pm ET

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2003--U.S. Home & Garden Inc.
(OTCBB:USHG - News) today announced that the proposed special meeting of holders
of the 9.40% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities of U.S. Home & Garden Trust I
(AMEX:UHG_pa - News), which is scheduled to be held at the Company's office at
9:00 AM local time on June 27, 2003 to consider certain proposed amendments to
the instruments governing the rights of the Trust Preferred security holders
will be adjourned. Although revenues and net income for the fourth fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2003 improved over the third quarter of fiscal 2003 the
Company expects that its revenues for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 will be
approximately $4-6 million lower than it had previously anticipated. The Company
also expects a corresponding reduction in net income for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2003 from its prior expectations. These expected results reflect the
impact of unseasonably wet and cold spring weather, particularly in the mid-west
and east coast regions of the country where the Company's business has been
historically concentrated, which reduced consumer demand for its seasonal lawn
and garden products. As a result, the parties to the proposed transaction to
sell substantially all of the assets of the material operating subsidiaries of
U.S. Home & Garden Inc. to a new entity formed by certain members of current
management, are in the process of renegotiating the terms and conditions,
including a reduction in the proposed purchase price.

The Company anticipates that the special meeting of holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities will be rescheduled for a date to be determined which is
currently expected to be in July 2003.
