INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

American Household, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American
Household, Inc. and subsidiaries (Successor Company consolidated balance sheets)
as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 (Successor Company operations) and the year
ended December 31, 2002 (Predecessor Company operations). These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, on November
27, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the plans of
reorganization which became effective on December 18, 2002. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," for the Successor Company as a new
entity with assets, liabilities and a capital structure having carrying values
not comparable with prior periods.

In our opinion, the Successor Company consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Household,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor Company consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the Predecessor Company's results of operations and its cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible
assets in 2002 to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company was
acquired by Jarden Corporation on January 24, 2005.

of AHI. The acquisition was completed on January 24, 2005, pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price paid by Jarden
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement was $745.6 million plus the
repayment of approximately $100 million of outstanding debt of AHI and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company.") As part of the sale, outstanding
stock options granted under management equity plans of each AHI, Sunbeam
Products, Inc. ("Sunbeam Products"), and The Coleman Company, Inc. ("Coleman")
were cancelled without being exercised and without any action on the part of the
holders in accordance with the terms of such plans, and as a result of such
cancellation, the holders received cash payments and, in the case of certain
senior management, restricted stock of Jarden (see Note 12).

2. OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

AHI is a leading global designer, manufacturer, marketer and distributor of
branded consumer products. The Company's primary business is the manufacturing,
marketing and distribution of durable household and outdoor leisure consumer
products through mass market and other distribution channels in the United
States and internationally. The Company also sells its products to professional
and commercial end users such as small businesses, hotels and other
institutions. The Company's principal products include household kitchen
appliances; health monitoring and care products for home use; scales for
consumer use; electric blankets and throws; clippers and trimmers for
professional and animal uses; smoke and carbon monoxide detectors; fire
extinguishers; camping equipment such as tents, lanterns, sleeping bags and
stoves; coolers and backpacks.

The Company's Powermate operating segment (the "Powermate Operating Segment"),
which consisted of Coleman Powermate, Inc. ("Powermate") and certain assets,
liabilities and operations managed by the Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries of
Sunbeam Products, was sold effective as of July 31, 2004. The Powermate
Operating Segment was primarily in the business of manufacturing, marketing and
distributing portable and standby generators, pressure washers and compressors.
Net historical results from operations, as well as the loss on the sale, are
reflected as "Loss from discontinued operations" in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 3).

The Sunbeam grill business, which consisted primarily of Sunbeam(R) and
Grillmaster(R) branded outdoor grills and accessories ("Sunbeam Grills"), was
discontinued in November 2002 (see Note 3). As with the Powermate Operating
Segment, Sunbeam Grills' net historical results from operations, as well as the
gain resulting from the sales of its assets, are reflected as "Loss from
discontinued operations" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

Basis of Presentation - Fresh Start Reporting

On February 6, 2001 (the "Petition Date"), Sunbeam Corporation and substantially
all of its domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Debtors" and together with
Sunbeam Corporation, the "Debtors") filed (the "Filings") voluntary petitions
(the "Petitions") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On December 18, 2002, the
Debtors' plans of reorganization became effective (the "Effective Date") under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") (see
Note 10). In addition, the name of Sunbeam Corporation was changed to American
Household, Inc.

As a result of the Debtors' emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and the
application of fresh start accounting, the Company's consolidated financial
statements for periods subsequent to the emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings,
referred to as the respective financial statements of the "Successor Company,"
are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to
the emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, which are referred to as the
"Predecessor Company" or "Sunbeam Corporation" financial statements. For
financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded its fresh start accounting
adjustments and performed the accounting cutoff between the Predecessor Company
and the Successor Company as of December 31, 2002.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AHI and all of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting
estimates include the establishment of the allowance for doubtful accounts, tax
valuation allowances, reserves for sales returns and allowances, product
warranty, product liability, excess and obsolete inventory, litigation and
environmental exposures.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had restricted cash balances of $2.9
million and $1.8 million, respectively. Restricted cash at December 31, 2004
includes (i) funds not available due to statutory or contractual requirements
related to certain foreign operations, (ii) net cash collected on behalf of the
buyer of a sold subsidiary, and (iii) cash designated for potential claims and
liabilities of a wholly-owned captive insurance company. Restricted cash at
December 31, 2003 includes (i) funds not available due to statutory or
contractual requirements, (ii) amounts restricted related to certain foreign
factoring agreements, and (iii) amounts related to the collateralization of
letters of credit that were outstanding under the debtor-in-possession financing
as of December 18, 2002 (see Note 10).

Receivables

Receivables are stated at their estimated net realizable value determined
principally by historical analysis of cash deductions against invoice amounts,
as well as by review of collectiblity based on the factors discussed below in
"Concentrations of Credit Risk."

Receivables consist of the following (in thousands):

                                                          2004         2003

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Substantially all of the Company's trade receivables are due from retailers and
distributors located throughout the United States, Europe, Latin America, Canada
and Japan. Approximately 23%, 25% and 27% of the Company's sales from continuing
operations in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were to a single customer. The
Company establishes its credit policies for customers based on an ongoing
evaluation of its customers' creditworthiness and competitive market conditions,
and establishes its allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables based on an
assessment of exposures to credit losses at each balance sheet date. The Company
believes its allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient based on the credit
exposures outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003. However, certain retailers
have filed for bankruptcy protection in the last several years and it is
possible that additional credit losses could be incurred if other credit
customers of the Company should seek bankruptcy protection.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-market with cost being determined
principally by the first-in, first-out method. In certain instances, the Company
receives rebates from vendors based on the volume of merchandise purchased.
Vendor rebates are recorded as reductions in the price of the purchased
merchandise and are recognized in Cost of goods sold ("COGS") as the related
inventories are sold.

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):
                                                         2004          2003

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144") requires that an impairment loss be
measured as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the
asset. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the Company tests its long-lived
assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of such asset or assets may not be recoverable. If the
Company concludes that impairment exists, the carrying amount is reduced to fair
value.

Pursuant to the Company's review of property, plant and equipment in accordance
with SFAS No. 144 in 2004, charges of $2.8 million were recorded to reduce the
carrying value of certain property and equipment to fair value, which is
reflected as "Restructuring charges" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements
of Operations (see Note 14). Pursuant to such tests performed in 2003, the
Company recorded a charge of $2.0 million, of which $1.0 million is reflected as
"Restructuring charges" and $1.0 million is included in "Intangible and other
asset impairment" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations (see
Note 14).

The Company provides for depreciation using primarily the straight-line method
in amounts that allocate the cost of property, plant and equipment over the
following useful lives:

     Buildings and improvements................................    5 to 45 years
     Machinery, equipment and tooling..........................    3 to 15 years
     Furniture and fixtures....................................    3 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of their estimated useful life or the term of the underlying lease. Depreciation
and amortization of property, plant and equipment charged against continuing
operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $35.5
million, $54.5 million and $59.0 million, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

Intangible Assets

As of December 31, 2004 intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and
patents. As of December 31, 2003, intangible assets consisted primarily of
trademarks, patents and reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets, which for a company emerging from Chapter 11 proceedings,
is equivalent to goodwill.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142,
goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are no longer
amortized but rather are tested, on a reporting unit basis, at least annually
for impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires that an impairment loss be measured as the
difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. The Company
elected October 31 as the date for performance of its annual impairment tests.
Patents, which are deemed to have finite lives, are amortized over their
estimated useful lives. Pursuant to the Company's review of patents in
accordance with SFAS No. 144 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, there was no impairment of
its patents.

In the first quarter of 2002, as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the
Company recognized a charge of $170.8 million (pre-tax charge of $268.3 million
and a related tax benefit of $97.5 million). This charge is reflected as
"Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax benefit" in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pursuant to fresh start
accounting (see Note 10), the Company's intangible assets were revalued at
December 31, 2002.

Pursuant to the impairment testing performed related to intangible assets as of
October 31, 2003, an impairment charge of $5.3 million was recorded in
continuing operations (see Note 4). The charge is reflected in "Intangible and
other asset impairment" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange rate
contracts in the regular course of business as part of the management of its
interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate exposures. The Company does not
utilize derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company
determines its accounting treatment for derivative financial instruments in
accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities ("SFAS No. 133"), as amended, which requires that all derivative
financial instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and
establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
("SFAS No. 149"). This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This
Statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30,
2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company entered into foreign exchange rate
contracts in the ordinary course of business as part of the management of its
foreign currency exchange rate exposures. The foreign exchange rate contracts
manage exchange rate exposures consistent with certain expected cash flows and
primarily mature within one year. Since the Company does not designate the
foreign exchange rate contracts for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No.
133, all changes in the fair values of such contracts are recognized in earnings
in the period of change.

During 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in the
ordinary course of business as part of the management of its interest rate
exposures. The interest rate swap agreement, which was to extend through 2005,
was terminated on August 31, 2004. The agreement provided for the exchange of
floating London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") indexed interest rate payments
for fixed interest rate payments periodically over the term of the contract and
was designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge under SFAS No. 133 as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2003. Charges incurred in connection with
the termination of this agreement were de minimus (see Note 6).

Guarantee

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others ("FIN No. 45"). This interpretation addresses the
disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.
FIN No. 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the
inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation
undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The Company adopted the disclosure and
recognition requirements on December 31, 2002 (see Note 15). In 2003, the
Company recognized a liability for a guarantee related to the sale of its coffee
filter business and adjusted such amount in 2004 based on the Company's annual
review of its exposure related to such guarantee (see Notes 3 and 15).

Extinguishment of Debt

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections
("SFAS No. 145"). This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses
from Extinguishment of Debt ("SFAS No. 4"). Under SFAS No. 4, all gains and
losses from extinguishment of debt were required to be aggregated and, if
material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect.
Under SFAS No. 145, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be
classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB Opinion
No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions ("APB No. 30"). The provisions of SFAS No. 145
as related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 shall be applied for fiscal years
beginning after May 15, 2002 with early application encouraged. The Company
adopted this statement effective January 1, 2002, and accordingly, the gain from
debt discharged as the result of the Chapter 11 reorganization and the loss on
the early retirement of a portion of the Company's debt was not classified as an
extraordinary item in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations
(see Note 10). In addition, pursuant to the guidance provided in SFAS No. 145
and APB No. 30, the loss on the early retirement of a portion of the outstanding
pay-in-kind secured second priority notes of AHI having an interest rate of 7.5%
(the "Second Priority Notes") (see Note 5) was not classified as an
extraordinary item in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and amortized
as a charge to interest expense over the terms of the related borrowings using
the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method.

Product Liability

The Company provides reserves for costs it estimates will be incurred related to
product liability claims for reported and unreported incidents that have
occurred through the respective balance sheet date. Estimates are periodically
reviewed and are primarily based upon annual actuarial valuations made by an
independent actuarial consultant. The estimates are updated to consider actual
experience, number of claims and other relevant factors.

Revenue Recognition

Net sales is comprised of gross sales less provisions for estimated customer
returns, discounts, volume rebates, promotional allowances and cooperative
advertising allowances.

The Company recognizes sales of product and related cost of goods sold when all
of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) persuasive evidence of a sale
arrangement exists, (ii) the price is fixed or determinable, (iii)
collectibility is reasonably assured, and (iv) delivery of product has occurred.
Estimated returns are based upon historical volume and actual experience of
sales returns. In some situations, the Company has shipped product with the
right of return where the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the level of
returns and/or the sale is contingent upon the resale of the product. In these
situations, the Company does not recognize revenue until the buyer of the
product informs the Company that the product has been sold. Reserves for
estimated returns and deductions for discounts, volume rebates, promotional
allowances and cooperative advertising are established by the Company
concurrently with the recognition of revenue. The Company monitors these
reserves and makes adjustments to them when management believes that actual
returns or costs to be incurred differ from amounts recorded.

Legal Costs

The Company records charges for the costs it anticipates incurring in connection
with litigation and claims against the Company when such losses are probable and
management can either reasonably estimate these costs or reasonably estimate the
range of such losses.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109"). The
provision for income taxes includes deferred income taxes resulting from items
reported in different periods for income tax and financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax
consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effects
of changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in
the period that includes the enactment date. The benefits from net deferred tax
assets are not recognized unless management can conclude that realization of
such benefit is more likely than not.

Advertising Costs

Media advertising costs included in Selling, general and administrative expense
("SG&A") are expensed as incurred. Allowances provided to customers for
cooperative advertising are charged to operations as related revenue is earned,
and are included as a deduction from gross sales in determining net sales. The
amounts charged to continuing operations for media and cooperative advertising
during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $85.4 million,
$80.1 million and $76.6 million, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed in the period in which they
are incurred. The amounts charged against continuing operations during the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $21.6 million, $22.9 million and
$24.3 million, respectively.

Freight costs

Out-bound freight costs of $53.2 million, $54.6 million and $53.5 million for
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of SG&A of
continuing operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, other than those operating in highly
inflationary economies, are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of
exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gains
and losses are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity
(deficiency). The accumulated impact of translation adjustments shown as a
component of shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2002 was eliminated
pursuant to fresh start accounting. Income and expense items are converted into
U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year with gains
or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions being included in the
results of operations.

For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, inventories and
property, plant and equipment are translated at the rate of exchange on the date
the assets are acquired, while other assets and liabilities are translated at
year-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments for those operations are
included in "Other expense (income), net" in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"), allows
either adoption of a fair value method for accounting for stock-based
compensation plans or continuation of accounting under APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), and related
interpretations with supplemental disclosures. SFAS No. 123 was amended by SFAS
No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.

The Company accounted for its stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
based method prescribed in APB No. 25 and, accordingly, did not recognize
compensation expense for stock awards and option grants with exercise prices
equal to or in excess of the fair market value of the stock at the date of
grant. See Notes 11 and 12 for additional information related to the Company's
stock-based compensation plans.

Under SFAS No. 123, stock-based compensation expense would have been $3.0
million and $10.4 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The fair value of each
stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

                                               2004               2003

Information in 2002 with respect to stock options is not presented as such stock
options became worthless upon the Filings in February 2001 and were cancelled in
connection with the consummation of Sunbeam Corporation's plan of
reorganization. Stock-based compensation expense related to the former Chief
Executive Officer ("CEO") investment in AHI common stock (see Note 11) and the
former CEO restricted stock grant (see Note 12) would not differ under the fair

In addition, AHI had stock-based compensation plans at certain of its
subsidiaries. See Note 12 for additional information related to these subsidiary
plans. Stock options granted under these plans were to vest only upon a change
of control or a public offering, as defined in the respective plans. However, in
connection with the July 2004 sale of the Powermate Operating Segment, a payment
was made to holders of the stock options outstanding under the First
Alert/Powermate, Inc. management equity plan without such stock options being
exercised and without any action on the part of the holders (see Notes 3 and
12). In addition, in connection with the consummation of the transactions
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement all remaining stock options of the
Company outstanding at the closing date were cancelled at the closing date
without being exercised and without any action on the part of the holders in
accordance with the terms of such plans, and as a result of such cancellation
the holders received cash payments and, in the case of certain senior
management, restricted stock of Jarden (see Notes 1 and 12).

2. OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)

New Accounting Standards

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132R (revised 2003), Employers'
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits ("SFAS No. 132R").
SFAS No. 132R incorporates all of the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132,
Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits ("SFAS
No. 132"). It requires additional disclosures to those in SFAS No. 132 about the
assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined
benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. SFAS No.
132R amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require
interim-period disclosure of the components of net periodic benefit cost and, if
significantly different from previously disclosed amounts, the amounts of
contributions and projected contributions to fund pension plans and other
postretirement benefit plans. Information required to be disclosed about pension
plans should not be combined with information required to be disclosed about
other postretirement benefit plans except as permitted by SFAS No. 132R. The
provisions of SFAS No. 132 remain in effect until the provisions of SFAS No.
132R are adopted. SFAS No. 132R is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2003 with the exception of certain of its provisions, primarily
related to estimated future benefit payments and foreign plans of non-public
entities, which are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The
interim-period disclosures required by SFAS No. 132R are effective for interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 132R
in accordance with the adoption requirements discussed above (see Note 9).

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter
4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage should be recognized as current
period charges. In addition, this statement requires that the allocation of
fixed production overhead to the cost of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this statement shall be
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2005. Earlier adoption is permitted for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after the issuance date of this statement. The adoption
of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,
an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This statement is based on the principle
that nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets
exchanged. This statement eliminates the exception for exchanges of nonmonetary
assets that do not have commercial substance (i.e. the future cash flows of the
entity are not expected to change significantly as the result of the exchange).
The provisions for this statement are effective as of the first reporting period
beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R largely retains the provisions of and
incorporates all of the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 except that the
statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation
transactions using APB No. 25 and generally requires that such transactions be
accounted for using a fair-value based method. The provisions of this statement
shall be effective for nonpublic entities as of the beginning of the first
annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. In connection with
the consummation of transactions pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
all outstanding stock options under management equity plans of each AHI, Sunbeam
Products and Coleman were cancelled at the closing date without being exercised
and without any action on the part of the holders in accordance with the terms
of such plans, and as a result of such cancellation the holders received cash
payments and, in the case of certain senior management, restricted stock of
Jarden in January 2005 (see Note 1 and 12). Accordingly, the adoption of this
statement will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements
with respect to outstanding stock options under management equity plans.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004
presentation including charges related to restructuring projects that were
previously included in COGS and SG&A in 2003 and 2002 (see Note 14).

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITION

Sale of Powermate Operating Segment

Effective July 31, 2004, the Company sold its Powermate Operating Segment. The
proceeds from the sale were $46.1 million. In connection with the sale, the
Company retained liabilities previously recorded in "Liabilities of discontinued
operations" totaling $1.5 million related to product liability ($1.1 million)
and certain benefits payable under a deferred compensation plan ($0.4 million).
The divestiture of the Powermate Operating Segment met certain criteria set
forth in SFAS No. 144 for presentation as a discontinued operation, and
accordingly its historical results of operations, the loss on the sale and other
charges triggered by the transaction are reflected in "Loss from discontinued
operations" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITION - (CONTINUED)

Sunbeam Grills

On November 13, 2002, the Company announced that it was modifying its business
strategy for Sunbeam Grills. The revisions to the existing strategy included
discontinuing manufacturing operations at the Neosho, Missouri facility. The
Coleman and Campingaz grill businesses, which are owned by Coleman, were not
affected by this decision. Activities to discontinue manufacturing were
initiated in November 2002 and the process continued in phases throughout 2003.
The manufacturing operations ceased by the end of the first quarter of 2003 and
the final shipments of goods were completed in July 2003.

In 2002, the Company recorded a charge for the closure of the Neosho, Missouri
facility of $8.1 million which is reflected in "Loss from discontinued
operations" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. This
charge related primarily to severance and other employee benefits ($3.9
million), a write-down of inventory to net realizable value ($3.9 million) and
vendor commitments ($0.3 million). The closing of this facility resulted in the
elimination of approximately 260 positions. In 2003, the Company reduced the
accrual by $0.2 million and paid $3.5 million in severance and other employee
benefits. During 2004, the Company paid the remaining accrual balance of $0.2
million, relating to severance and other employee benefits.

In May 2003, Sunbeam Products entered into a licensing agreement with a third
party for use of the Sunbeam(R) and Grillmaster(R) trademarks on outdoor grills
in the United States and Canada. The licensing agreement is for an initial
three-year term and is renewable for 3 three-year terms. In connection with this
agreement, the licensee purchased certain tooling and related assets of the
Sunbeam Grills business for $2.1 million. In November 2003, certain assets,
primarily machinery and equipment and vehicles, were sold at an auction for $4.4
million, of which $4.0 million and $0.4 million were received in cash in 2003
and 2004, respectively. The amount received in 2004 is reflected in "Prepaid
expenses, deferred income taxes and other current assets" in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2003. In addition, in December 2003,
the Company sold certain trademarks relating to the Sunbeam Grills business for
$0.2 million. Collectively, the assets sold had a carrying value of $5.8 million
and their sale resulted in a gain of $0.9 million, which is included as a
component of "Loss from discontinued operations" in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Proceeds from the sale of assets of the Sunbeam Grills business received in 2003
totaled $6.3 million and are included in net cash provided by investing
activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of December 31, 2003, it was decided to retain the manufacturing facility
formerly used by the discontinued Sunbeam Grills business (previously classified
as "Assets held for sale") for use as a backup manufacturing facility or
additional warehouse space. Accordingly, $1.2 million of assets previously
classified as "Assets held for sale" are recorded as part of "Property, plant
and equipment, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December
31, 2003 and 2004. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded $0.1
million in depreciation expense to reflect amounts that would have been
recognized throughout 2003 had such assets not been classified as "Assets held
for sale" during the period.

Summary operating results for the Sunbeam Grills business are as follows (in

Sale of Coffee Filter Business

The sale of the coffee filter business discussed below did not meet established
criteria for presentation as discontinued operations.

In August 2003, in conjunction with the closing of the Hattiesburg, Mississippi
manufacturing and distribution facility (see Note 14) Sunbeam Products sold its
coffee filter business for $1.0 million; $0.5 million in cash and $0.5 million
in the form of a promissory note that is payable in five equal annual
installments at each subsequent anniversary date of the sale agreement. The
promissory note was recorded at its fair value of $0.4 million. In connection
with the sale, Sunbeam Products entered into a license agreement for the use of
the Mr. Coffee(R) trademark on coffee filters. As part of the sale, the Company
has provided a guarantee in favor of the third party supplier of coffee filters
to the purchaser of the business for an amount up to $0.4 million. This
guarantee has a term of the earlier of five years or when certain conditions are
met. The Company recorded an initial liability in 2003 of $0.1 million related
to this guarantee in accordance with FIN No. 45, and subsequently increased such
amount to $0.4 million in 2004 based on the Company's annual review of its
exposure related to such guarantee.

In August of 2004, Sunbeam Products terminated the license agreement referred to
above and entered into a distribution agreement for the sales of Mr. Coffee
branded coffee filters. The termination of the license agreement and the
establishment of the distribution agreement was one of the factors considered by
the Company in its decision to adjust the liability recorded related to the
guarantee discussed above.

Acquisition

In April 2004, Sunbeam Products acquired certain assets of HydroSurge, Inc.
("HydroSurge"), a manufacturer and seller of products used in the animal bathing
and care businesses, for a purchase price of $0.5 million with $0.2 million
being held back pending the seller's satisfaction of certain obligations
outstanding at the closing date. As of December 31, 2004, $0.1 million of the
holdback amount had not been released. The agreement requires Sunbeam Products
to make payments to the seller based on net sales performance for each of the
three twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2007, and if certain target net sales
thresholds are met in the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2007, additional
payments are to be made based on net sales performance during the two ensuing
twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2009. Aggregate net-sales performance-based
payments under the agreement may not exceed $1.5 million.

The initial purchase price (exclusive of net sales performance-based payments)
of $0.5 million was allocated to the acquired assets as follows (in thousands):


Accounts receivable, inventory and other current assets............   $     161
Machinery and equipment............................................          36
Intangible assets..................................................         303
                                                                      ----------

Intangible assets include a trademark, a product formula, non-compete agreements
and a customer list. The trademark is considered to have an indefinite life,
while the product formula, non-compete agreements and customer list have finite
lives, and as such, are being amortized over periods ranging from three to five
years. The trademark is reflected in "Trademarks and patents, net" and the
remaining intangible assets are included in "Other assets" in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004. Additional payments made to the
seller based on net sales performance are and will be charged to goodwill. As of
December 31, 2004, amounts recognized related to sales performance-based
payments are less than $0.1 million and are included in "Other assets" in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Given the relative insignificance of the historical net revenues and operating
results of HydroSurge compared to those of AHI on a consolidated basis, pro
forma historical financial information related to the acquisition of HydroSurge
is not considered meaningful and as such is not provided herein.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. This statement
addressed financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangibles.
Under the provisions of this statement, goodwill and intangible assets that have
indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but rather are tested at least
annually for impairment on a reporting unit basis. The Company's continuing
reportable segments are organized by product brand on a global basis (except for
the Corporate segment), and these reportable segments consist of Sunbeam
Products, Coleman and Corporate. Certain product brand segments consist of
various reporting units based on how the businesses are managed. The Company
discontinued amortization of identifiable intangible assets with indefinite
lives as of January 1, 2002.

SFAS No. 142 also redefined intangible assets, such that the concept of an
intangible asset related to assembled workforce is no longer recognized.
Accordingly, the Company discontinued amortization of its assembled workforce
intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and reclassified the carrying amount to
goodwill. This reclassification resulted in additional goodwill of $0.8 million
in the Sunbeam Products business, $0.9 million in the First Alert business
(which is a reporting unit of the Sunbeam Products business), $7.1 million in
the Coleman business and $1.2 million in the Powermate Operating Segment which
was sold in 2004. The additional goodwill in the Sunbeam Products business was
written off in connection with the sale of Sunbeam Products' Professional Scales
Business. The additional goodwill related to Coleman, First Alert and Powermate
was then included in the transitional goodwill impairment test described below.

Transitional impairment charge

Identifiable intangible assets (other than goodwill) deemed to have indefinite
lives were tested for impairment as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which
SFAS No. 142 was initially applied. That transitional impairment test for
identifiable intangible assets was required to be completed in the first interim
period in which SFAS No. 142 was initially applied. SFAS No. 142 prescribes that
any impairment loss be measured as the difference between the carrying amount of
the identifiable intangible asset at each applicable reporting unit and its
estimated fair value.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, the Company
recorded a charge of $170.8 million (pre-tax charge of $268.3 million and a
related tax benefit of $97.5 million) in the first quarter of 2002 relating to
the impairment of intangible assets, specifically, trademarks ($252.7 million
pre-tax charge) and goodwill ($15.6 million charge.) The fair value of
intangible assets was determined based on a valuation study performed by an
external valuation firm. The firm used various valuation methodologies,
including the income approach to estimate the value of licensing trademarks to
third parties and a variant of the income approach referred to as the "relief
from royalties" method to estimate the value of trademarks on its own products.
The charge is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations as "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax
benefit."

SFAS No. 142 sets forth guidelines for the evaluation of goodwill for impairment
using a "two-step" transitional goodwill impairment test. SFAS No. 142 required
the completion of the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test
(whereby the fair value of a reporting unit was compared to its carrying value,
including goodwill) no later than June 30, 2002. As the results of the first
step of the test indicated a potential impairment of goodwill, the Company
performed the second step of the test to measure the impairment loss during the
second half of 2002. The second step compared the carrying amount of a reporting
unit's goodwill to the implied fair value of that goodwill and an impairment
loss was recognized. Based on the external valuation study using both the
discounted present value of cash flows and market values of comparable
businesses, the Company determined that goodwill had no value. Consequently, the
carrying amount of the Company's remaining goodwill of $15.6 million was written

Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets

Upon the Debtors' emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and the application of
fresh start reporting requirements pursuant to SOP 90-7, Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code ("SOP 90-7"), the Company
recorded an intangible asset of $7.8 million in December 2002 which was
reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as "Reorganization value in excess
of amounts allocable to identifiable assets." In accordance with SFAS No. 142,
the excess reorganization value was not amortized, but such carrying value was
to be reviewed at least annually for impairment by reporting unit. If this
review indicated that any reporting units' excess reorganization value exceeded
its fair value, the carrying value would be adjusted in accordance with SFAS No.
142.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS - (CONTINUED)

Based on valuation studies performed by the Company with the assistance of an
external valuation firm, using various valuation methodologies including both
the discounted present value of future cash flows and market values of
comparable businesses, as of October 31 (the date the Company selected for the
performance of its annual intangible asset impairment testing) 2004 and 2003,
the Company determined the amount of "Reorganization value in excess of amounts
allocable to identifiable assets" was not impaired. However, SOP 90-7 requires
that income tax benefits realized from net operating loss carryforwards existing
prior to the Effective Date first reduce "Reorganization value in excess of
amounts allocable to identifiable assets," and other intangibles until exhausted
and thereafter be reported as a direct addition to paid-in capital. During 2004
and 2003, respectively, $5.7 million and $4.8 million in benefit was realized
from net operating loss carryforwards existing prior to the Effective Date, and
as such, "Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable
assets" was eliminated in its entirety at December 31, 2004 and reduced by $4.8
million at December 31, 2003. The excess of the income tax benefits realized in
2004, related to net operating loss carryforwards existing prior to the
Effective Date, over the remaining "Reorganization value in excess of amounts
allocable to identifiable assets" reduced other intangible assets (trademarks)
in the amount of $2.7 million in 2004. See further discussion below.

2004 and 2003 trademarks impairment charges

SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill, reorganization value in excess of amounts
allocable to identifiable assets and other intangible assets that have
indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment, on a reporting unit basis, at
least annually. Based on valuation studies performed at October 31 (the date the
Company selected for the performance of its annual intangible asset impairment
testing) 2004 and 2003 by the Company with the assistance of an external
valuation firm using various valuation methodologies including the income
approach to estimate the value of licensing trademarks to third parties and a
variant of the income approach referred to as the "relief from royalties"
method, it was determined that certain trademarks were impaired. Accordingly, an
impairment charge of $5.3 million is reflected in "Intangible and other asset
impairment" in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 2003.

At December 31, 2004, the aggregate annual maturities on short-term and

million, $34.9 million, $0.2 million, $0.2 million, $65.4 million and $0.2
million, respectively. See Note 1 for discussion regarding the repayment of
certain debt by Jarden in January 2005 in connection with the consummation of
transactions pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC")

AHI and its subsidiaries Coleman, BRK Brands, Inc. ("BRK Brands"), Powermate and
Sunbeam Products (collectively, the "Borrowers"), and certain domestic
subsidiaries of the Borrowers (the "Guarantors") entered into a credit agreement
(the "Credit Agreement") with GECC effective December 18, 2002. The Credit
Agreement initially provided credit facilities of up to $380.0 million in the
aggregate, which consisted of a revolving credit facility of up to $340.0
million (the "Revolver") and a term loan facility of up to $40.0 million (the
"Term Loans"). The Credit Agreement was entered into in connection with the
consummation of the Plans for the purposes of refinancing certain indebtedness
of the Company (in particular, debtor-in-possession financing), terminating an
accounts receivable securitization program entered into by certain Subsidiary
Debtors (see Note 7), consummating the Plans and to provide working capital and
funds for the Company's general corporate needs. Borrowings under the Credit
Agreement are secured by a perfected first priority lien on all the Company's
domestic assets subject to certain exceptions. Prior to the Amendment discussed
below, the Credit Facility initially was to terminate on December 18, 2005
unless prepaid earlier by the Borrowers. As a result of the sale of the
Powermate Operating Segment, Powermate is no longer a borrower under the Credit
Agreement.

In connection with the sale of the Powermate Operating Segment, pursuant to an
amendment to the Credit Agreement dated June 24, 2004 (the "Amendment"), the
aggregate commitments were permanently reduced to $330.0 million consisting of
$300.0 million under the Revolver and $30.0 million in Term Loans. In addition,
the Credit Agreement was extended through December 18, 2006 unless prepaid
earlier by the Borrowers. In connection with the consummation of the
transactions pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 1), Jarden
repaid the balances outstanding under the Credit Agreement in January 2005 and
the Credit Agreement (including the Revolver and the Term Loans) was terminated.

In March 2004, the Revolver was amended to provide for a "springing" lock-box
arrangement. Under this arrangement, the Company maintains a lock-box from which
it has direct use of corresponding cash receipts.

5. DEBT - (CONTINUED)

Revolver
--------

Availability under the Revolver is based on a borrowing base consisting of the
Borrowers' eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The interest rate was
initially based on the higher of the prime rate or 50 basis points over the
federal funds rate (the "Index Rate") plus 1.50% per year, or at the election of
the Company, the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.75% per year. Pursuant to the
Amendment, the interest margins were reduced to 1.00% and 2.25% for Index Rate
and LIBOR borrowings, respectively. The Company also pays an unused facility fee
initially equal to 0.50% per annum on the average unused daily balance of the
Revolver. Pursuant to the Amendment, the unused facility fee was reduced to
0.375% per annum. At December 31, 2004 the interest rate on the outstanding
balance of $11.0 million was based on the Index Rate plus 1.00% per year. The
Revolver contains a $20.0 million swing line sub-facility (the "Swing Line"),
which initially accrued interest at the Index Rate plus 1.50% per year. Pursuant
to the Amendment, the interest margin on the Swing Line was reduced to 1.00%.
The aggregate amount for outstanding advances under the Swing Line generally may
not exceed at any time the lesser of (a) the $20.0 million Swing Line
commitment, and (b) the lesser of the Revolver commitments and the borrowing
base, less the outstanding balance of the Revolver at such time. At December 31,
2004, the Company had $151.3 million available for borrowing under the Revolver.

Term Loans
----------

Prior to the Amendment, the Term Loans were payable in eleven consecutive
quarterly installments due on the first day of March, June, September and
December of each year through December 2005, each of which (except for the final
installment) being in an amount equal to 3.571% of the original principal
balance of the Term Loans. The first installment was due on June 1, 2003, and
the last installment would have included the entire remaining outstanding
principal balance of such Term Loans. A $17.0 million Term Loan was advanced to
the Company on December 18, 2002 and was collateralized based on 85% of the net
orderly liquidation value of the Borrowers' machinery and equipment. Advances
under the remaining original availability under the Term Loans of $23.0 million
were made during 2003 and were collateralized by certain real property of the
Borrowers.

As previously discussed, availability under the Term Loans was reduced to $30.0
million pursuant to the Amendment. The balance outstanding under the Term Loans
facility at the Amendment date was $24.7 million. At such date, the Company
increased its borrowings under the Term Loans to equal the amount available
pursuant to the Amendment. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Term Loans are due in
ten consecutive quarterly installments due on the first day of March, June,
September and December of each year through December 2006, each of which (except
for the final installment) being in an amount equal to 3.571% of the amended
principal balance of the Term Loans. The first installment was due on September
1, 2004 and the last installment will include the entire remaining outstanding
principal balance of such Term Loans.

The aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans, with respect to the mortgaged
property, is not permitted to exceed 50% of the appraised fair market value of
such mortgaged property. The interest on the Term Loans initially was accrued
based on the Index Rate plus 2.00% per year, or at the election of the Company,
the applicable LIBOR rate plus 3.25% per year. Pursuant to the Amendment, the
interest margins were reduced to 1.50% and 2.75% for Index Rate and LIBOR
borrowings, respectively.

As of December 31, 2004, the interest rate on the outstanding balance of $27.9
million was comprised of $27.0 million of LIBOR indexed borrowings which accrued
interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.75% and $0.9 million of Index Rate borrowings
which accrued interest at the Index Rate plus 1.50%.

Letter of credit sub-facility
-----------------------------

The Credit Agreement also provides for a $100.0 million letter of credit
sub-facility. The aggregate amount of such letters of credit may not exceed the
lesser of (i) $100.0 million, and (ii) an amount equal to the $300.0 million
aggregate commitment under the Revolver, as amended, (the "Maximum Amount"),
less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and Swing Line,
and (iii) the borrowing base less aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
Revolver and Swing Line. Fees associated with letters of credit initially were
equal to 2.75% per annum based on the face amount of the letters of credit (the
"LC Rate"), plus any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in arranging for
the issuance or guarantee of letters of credit and any customary charges
assessed by the issuing bank. Pursuant to the Amendment, the LC Rate was reduced
to 2.25%. Letters of credit outstanding under this facility were guaranteed by
Jarden in connection with the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement.

Repayment
---------

The Company may, with prior written notice, voluntarily prepay all or part of
the Term Loans and/or permanently reduce the Revolver. Any voluntary prepayment
or termination of the Revolver will be subject to payment of certain fees. If at
any time the aggregate outstanding balances of the Revolver and the Swing Line
exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Amount, and (ii) the borrowing base, the
Company must immediately repay the aggregate outstanding advances under Revolver
and Swing Line facilities to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

Fees
----

The Company paid $1.1 million, $1.4 million and $8.1 million in fees related to
the Credit Agreement in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which are being
amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement, as amended.
All unamortized fees were written off in January 2005 concurrent with the
termination of the Credit Agreement and repayment of amounts due under such
agreement by Jarden in connection with the consummation of the transactions
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 1).

Covenants
---------

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants consisting of (i) maximum
capital expenditures per year, (ii) minimum fixed charge coverage after
restructuring charges ratio, and (iii) minimum fixed charge coverage before
restructuring charges ratio. In addition to the foregoing financial covenants,
the Credit Agreement also contains various covenants customary for credit
facilities of a similar nature, including limitations on the activities of AHI
and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) engage in mergers and
acquisitions, (ii) make investments, (iii) create or assume indebtedness, (iv)
enter into transactions with affiliates, (v) modify their capital structure,
(vi) create or assume any guaranteed indebtedness, (vii) create or assume any
liens, (viii) sell, transfer or assign its properties or assets including the
stock of any of the subsidiaries, (ix) enter into sale-leaseback transactions,
(x) pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock or
indebtedness, (xi) enter into or be bound by an agreement that limits
intercompany dividends or distributions or the payment of intercompany
indebtedness, (xii) enter into operating leases for equipment or real estate, or
(xiii) amend the Second Priority Notes. In addition, the Credit Agreement
contains affirmative covenants including but not limited to maintenance of
insurance and reporting obligations.

The Credit Agreement also contains events of default customary for credit
agreements of this type, including failure to pay interest on principal when due
and cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions relating to the Company's
other indebtedness in excess of $2.5 million.

In the event of default, the interest rates applicable to all loans and the
letter of credit fee may be increased by the lender by 2.00% per annum over the
interest rate or letter of credit fee otherwise applicable and such interest and
fees will be payable on demand.

Second Priority Notes

On December 18, 2002, in connection with the consummation of the Plans, AHI and
the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, as guarantors,
entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") with the Bank of New York
("Trustee") pursuant to which the Company issued $100.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 7.50% Payment-in-Kind Second Priority Secured Term Notes due
December 18, 2009. The Second Priority Notes were initially recorded at their
fair value of $85.0 million as of December 31, 2002, pursuant to the
requirements of fresh start reporting under SOP 90-7. The fair value of the
Second Priority Notes was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis, with
a discount rate based on the estimated market yield required for similar debt
securities and issuers having credit structures comparable to the Company. These
estimates were determined with the assistance of the financial advisor that had
been retained by the Debtors for the Chapter 11 proceedings. The discount is
being accreted to interest expense over the term of the Indenture. Discount
accretion, excluding the portion of the discount that was accelerated due to the
early retirement of a portion of the Second Priority Notes (see discussion
below), during both 2004 and 2003 amounted to $1.0 million. Interest is due
quarterly, with the first such payment being made on March 18, 2003. On each
interest payment date, the Company pays interest in additional Second Priority
Notes in lieu of cash payment. During 2004 and 2003, $6.9 million and $7.8
million in additional Second Priority Notes were issued in lieu of cash interest
payments.

5. DEBT - (CONTINUED)

In September 2004, net cash proceeds received from the sale of the Powermate
Operating Segment (see Note 3) were used to tender the purchase of $41.4 million
face value of the Second Priority Notes. Second Priority Notes with a face value
equal to the amount of the tender offer were purchased by the Company in
September 2004, plus accrued interest of approximately $0.8 million. Pursuant to
the early extinguishment of the aforementioned face value of Second Priority
Notes, the Company recorded a loss of $5.0 million which is reflected in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the accelerated
accretion of the discount recorded at the date of issuance.

AHI's obligations under the Indenture are guaranteed by certain domestic
subsidiaries of AHI. In addition, the Second Priority Notes are secured by the
same collateral that secures the Credit Agreement on a second priority basis.
GECC, the Agent under the Credit Agreement, serves as collateral agent for the
collateral securing both the Credit Agreement and the Indenture.

The Indenture contains certain financial reporting requirements. In addition,
the Indenture contains various covenants customary for debentures of a similar
nature, including limitations on AHI and its subsidiaries to, among other
things, (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantees, (ii) pay dividends or
distributions, repurchase capital stock or repay intercompany indebtedness,
(iii) enter into certain asset sales, (iv) enter into transactions with
affiliates, (v) create or assume liens, (vi) make investments, (vii) enter into
sale and lease-back transactions, or (viii) enter into or be bound by an
agreement that limits intercompany dividends or distributions or payment on
intercompany indebtedness. The Indenture contains events of default customary
for senior notes of this type including failure to pay interest or principal
when due and cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions relating to other
indebtedness of the Company of $2.5 million or more. Upon the occurrence of a
change of control event (as defined in the Indenture), AHI was required to make
an offer to purchase all outstanding Second Priority Notes at a purchase price
equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In connection with the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 1), Jarden repaid all outstanding Second
Priority Notes in full plus accrued interest and the redemption premium.

The fees paid relating to the Indenture in 2004, 2003 and 2002 were immaterial
to the Company's consolidated financial statements. These amounts were being
amortized to interest expense over eighty-four months effective January 2003.
All unamortized fees were written off in January 2005 concurrent with the
termination of the Credit Agreement and repayment of amounts due under such
agreement by Jarden in connection with the consummation of the transactions
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 1).

Other Lines of Credit, Including Foreign Working Capital Facilities

In April 2002, Sunbeam Corporation (Canada) Limited ("Sunbeam Canada"), the
Canadian subsidiary of AHI, entered into a senior secured revolving credit
facility for up to $25.0 million Canadian with GECC ("Canadian Revolver").
Availability under this facility is based on a borrowing base consisting of
eligible inventory and accounts receivable. This facility is secured by this
subsidiary's accounts receivable and inventory and expires in March 2005.
Borrowings under this facility accrue interest at the facility's defined index
rate (average rate quoted on Reuters Monitor Screen applicable to Canadian
dollar bankers' acceptances with a term of 30 days as of the first business day
of the respective month) plus 2.25%. The Company also pays an unused facility
fee initially equal to 0.375% per annum on the average unused daily balance of
the Revolver. This facility contains various financial covenants including (i) a
cumulative consolidated earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization covenant, (ii) a cumulative capital expenditures covenant, and
(iii) a tangible net worth covenant. In addition to the foregoing financial
covenants, this facility also contains various covenants customary for credit
facilities of a similar nature, including reporting obligations and limitations
on the activities of Sunbeam Canada to, among other things, (i) make
investments, (ii) create or assume indebtedness, (iii) create or assume
guarantees, or (iv) sell or transfer assets. There were no amounts outstanding
under the Canadian Revolver at December 31, 2004 and 2003. At December 31, 2004,
the Company had $9.3 million (U.S.) available for borrowing under the facility.

In August 2004, the Japanese subsidiary of AHI, Coleman Japan Company, LTD
("Coleman Japan") 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 December 31, 2004, the full amount is outstanding under this facility,
which amounts to $6.8 million (U.S.), and is reflected as "Short-term debt and
current portion of long-term debt" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

5. DEBT - (CONTINUED)

In May 2003, Coleman Japan entered into a secured credit facility (the "Japanese
Credit Facility") to borrow up to the lesser of 1.5 billion Japanese Yen, or
$13.8 million (U.S.). The borrowings under the Japanese Credit Facility were
secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $13.8
million. The Japanese Credit Facility and the corresponding letter of credit
matured on October 31, 2004, leaving no balance outstanding at December 31,
2004. At December 31, 2003, there was 800 million Japanese Yen (equivalent of
$7.4 million U.S.), outstanding under this facility reflected as "Short-term
debt and current portion of long-term debt" in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, borrowings under various other foreign credit
lines and/or trade accounts receivable financing arrangements entered into by
various non-U.S. subsidiaries of AHI totaled $4.5 million and $6.6 million,
respectively, and are reflected as "Short-term debt and current portion of
long-term debt" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The majority of
these foreign credit lines and or arrangements are secured by the foreign
subsidiaries' inventory and/or accounts receivable.

Other Long-Term Borrowings

Other long-term borrowings consist primarily of Industrial Revenue Bonds and
various equipment financing arrangements.

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2004
and 2003 was estimated based upon the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is
assumed to approximate fair value as cash equivalents include all highly liquid,
short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Receivables and Accounts Payable - The carrying amount of receivables and
accounts payable is assumed to approximate fair value for these instruments
because of their short maturities.

Debt - As of December 31, 2004, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt
is estimated using either reported transaction values or discounted cash flow
analysis. The fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt approximated the
carrying value of $67.7 million. The carrying value of the Company's variable
rate debt is assumed to approximate market based upon periodic adjustments of
the interest rate to the current market rate in accordance with the terms of the
debt agreements. The fair value of the Company's variable rate debt approximated
its carrying value of $50.1 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

On January 9, 2003, AHI entered into an agreement (the "Hedging Agreement") with
Wachovia, a shareholder of AHI, whereby Wachovia would provide AHI a line of
credit for currency, commodity and interest rate hedging. Pursuant to the
Hedging Agreement, AHI provided a letter of credit that varied in amount for the
benefit of Wachovia as security for its exposure to AHI under the Hedging
Agreement. At December 31, 2004, there were no outstanding derivative financial
instruments with Wachovia and the corresponding letter of credit outstanding for
the benefit of Wachovia was cancelled.

Interest rate swap agreements have been used by the Company to reduce the impact
on interest expense of fluctuating interest rates on its floating rate debt. At
December 31, 2004, the Company was not a party to any such agreements

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - (CONTINUED)

Effective June 2003, as part of the Hedging Agreement, AHI entered into an
interest rate swap agreement ("Swap Agreement") with Wachovia, as part of its
management of variable LIBOR rate based interest rate exposures related to its
borrowings under the Term Loans and Revolver. The Swap Agreement was amended as
of July 2003 and was to extend through September 2005, with Wachovia retaining
the right to change the termination date to January 2005. The Swap Agreement
exchanged floating LIBOR indexed interest rate payments for fixed interest rate
payments periodically over the term of the contract and was accounted for as a
cash flow hedge. Notional amounts covered under the Swap Agreement varied to
coincide with anticipated LIBOR indexed borrowings and ranged between $30.0
million and $120.0 million. Pursuant to SFAS No. 133, all derivatives are
recognized on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. At December 31,
2003, the notional amounts covered under the Swap Agreement totaled $35.0
million. At December 31, 2003, the fair value of the Swap Agreement was a
liability of $0.4 million, including $0.1 million in accrued interest, and is
reflected in "Other current liabilities" in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets, with changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the
cash flow hedge totaling $0.3 million deferred in "Accumulated other
comprehensive income" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts
deferred in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" related to the Swap
Agreement were reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations as the
hedged exposures affected earnings through the August 31, 2004 when the Swap
Agreement was terminated. The charges associated with terminating the interest
rate swap agreement were less than $0.1 million and represented accrued interest
plus the change in market value as of the termination date.

Foreign Exchange Rate Contracts - The Company utilizes forward foreign exchange
rate contracts ("Forward Contracts") to reduce its foreign currency exchange
rate exposures. Since the Company does not designate the Forward Contracts as
hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133, all changes in the fair values of such
contracts are recognized in earnings in the period of change.

At December 31, 2004, the fair value of open Forward Contracts was a liability
of $5.8 million, and is reflected in "Other current liabilities" in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the fair values of open
Forward Contracts from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004 amounted to $1.2
million and is reflected in "Other expense (income), net" in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations. U.S. dollar equivalent contractual
notional amounts to purchase and sell currencies for open foreign exchange
contracts as of December 31, 2004 totaled $127.3 million and $133.6 million,
respectively.

At December 31, 2003, the fair value of open Forward Contracts was a liability
of $4.6 million, and is reflected in "Other current liabilities" in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Expense related to changes in fair
values during 2003 of open Forward Contracts amounted to $4.4 million and is
reflected in "Other expense (income), net" in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations. U.S. dollar equivalent contractual notional amounts to
purchase and sell currencies for open foreign exchange contracts as of December
31, 2003 totaled $105.9 million and $111.0 million, respectively.

7. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION

On February 7, 2001, certain Subsidiary Debtors entered into a $200.0 million
accounts receivable securitization program (the "A/R Securitization Facility")
with GECC and other purchasers that were signatories thereto (see Note 10). The
A/R Securitization Facility contained cross-default provisions that provided the
purchasers of the receivables an option to cease purchasing receivables if,
subject to certain grace periods, there was a default under the $285.0 million
debtor-in-possession financing agreement (see Note 10). In addition, the A/R
Securitization Facility contained various other covenants customary for these
types of programs, including financial covenants. The Subsidiary Debtors that
were party to the A/R Securitization Facility retained collection and
administrative responsibilities for the receivables sold under such facility.
This program ceased when the Company emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings. During
2002, the Company received approximately $919 million under the A/R
Securitization Facility. Costs of the program totaled $6.5 million during 2002
and are classified as "Interest expense, net" in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

In September of 2001, a foreign subsidiary of AHI in the United Kingdom entered
into an agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivable. During the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the foreign subsidiary received $31.6
million, $29.3 million and $28.7 million, respectively, and incurred costs of
$0.2 million in each 2004, 2003 and 2002 which have been classified as "Interest
expense, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. At
December 31 2003, the foreign subsidiary reduced accounts receivable by $0.9
million for receivables sold under this program. Effective August 2004, the
agreement was terminated and replaced by a line of credit secured by pledged
receivables. At December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings outstanding under
the new agreement.

7. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION - (CONTINUED)

In March of 2001, another foreign subsidiary of AHI in France entered into an
agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivable without recourse. During
2004, 2003 and 2002, the foreign subsidiary received $48.5 million, $61.5
million and $50.2 million, respectively, and incurred costs of $0.1 million in
2004 and $0.4 million in both 2003 and 2002, which have been classified as
"Interest expense, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations. At December 31, 2003, the foreign subsidiary had reduced accounts
receivable by $3.1 million for receivables sold under this program. Effective
June 2004, the agreement was terminated and replaced by an unsecured line of
credit. At December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings outstanding under the new
agreement.

Due to the issuance of legislative regulations in 2004, the Company undertook an
analysis of the tax laws applicable to the forgiveness of debt upon the
confirmation of the Sunbeam Corporation's Third Amended Plan of Reorganization
(the "Sunbeam Corporation Plan") (see Note 10). Such analysis resulted in
adjustments to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities in 2004. The
following adjustments have been recorded:

     The deferred tax asset associated with net operating losses ("NOLs") and
     tax credits of the Company accumulated through 2002 and a corresponding
     amount of valuation allowance have both been reduced by $389.9 million.

     A deferred tax liability of $46.8 million has been recorded for the
     difference between the financial reporting amount and the tax basis of
     stock in a wholly-owned subsidiary held by the Company.

8. INCOME TAXES - (CONTINUED)

The Company continually reviews the adequacy of its valuation allowance. A
valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the weight of available evidence,
it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. This
assessment is based on an evaluation of the level of historical taxable income
and projections for future taxable income. During 2004, the Company's valuation
allowance decreased to approximately $104 million principally due to the 2004
adjustments referred to above. In 2003, the Company's valuation allowance was
approximately $494 million. As foreign NOLs accumulated prior to 2003 of $113
million are used against taxable income or the valuation allowance is no longer
considered necessary, the valuation allowance will be reduced and will result in
a corresponding reduction to financial statement goodwill or other non-current
intangible assets.

At December 31, 2004, the reserve for tax contingencies related to issues in the
United States and foreign locations was $1.8 million.

As a result of the confirmation of the Sunbeam Corporation Plan, a change in
ownership occurred. No annual limitation is imposed on the use of most surviving
tax attributes that existed at the Effective Date as a result of the application
of Internal Revenue Code Section 382(l)(5).

At December 31, 2004, the Company had NOLs of $1.07 billion for domestic tax
purposes, of which approximately $991 million were accumulated through 2002, and
$140.8 million for foreign income tax purposes. The domestic NOLs begin to
expire in 2018. Of the foreign NOLs, $1.0 million will expire in the year ending
December 31, 2005, and $0.4 million, $1.9 million, and $2.7 million will expire
in the years ending December 31, 2006 through 2008, respectively. Of the
remaining foreign NOLs, $6.6 million will expire in years subsequent to 2008 and
$128.2 million have an unlimited life.

As in prior years, the Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on
undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $73 million at December 31,
2004, as it intends to permanently reinvest these earnings in the future growth
of the foreign businesses under the guidance provided in APB Opinion No. 23,
"Accounting for Income Taxes - Special Areas". Determination of the amount of
unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of
the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Act") introduced a special one-time
dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to
a U.S. taxpayer (the "Repatriation Provision"), provided certain criteria are
met. The Act provides an 85% dividends received deduction of certain foreign
earnings that are repatriated (as defined in the Act) in either the enterprise's
last tax year that began before October 22, 2004 (the "Enactment Date") or the
first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the Enactment
Date. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the effects, if any,
of the Repatriation Provision. It does expect such evaluation to be completed by
the third quarter of 2005. Since the Company has not completed its evaluation of
the effects of such Repatriation Provision, the potential range of income tax
effects of such repatriation cannot be reasonably estimated prior to the
issuance of these financial statements.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company's defined benefit pension plans are accounted for in accordance with
SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions ("SFAS No. 87") and SFAS No. 88,
Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits ("SFAS No. 88"). The Company's
postretirement medical and life insurance plans are accounted for in accordance
with SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions ("SFAS No. 106").

Unless a mid-year measurement is necessary due to a significant plan amendment,
curtailment or settlement, the Company uses a measurement date of December 31
for its pension and postretirement employee benefit plans. The fair value of
plan assets is used to determine the expected return on plan assets for its
domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans. The domestic postretirement
retiree and life plans are not pre-funded. If required, unrecognized net
actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining service
period of active plan participants. If there are no active plan participants,
unrecognized net actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average life
expectancy of plan participants.

Sunbeam Products pension plans
------------------------------

Prior to December 31, 2002, a subsidiary of AHI sponsored defined benefit
pension plans for Sunbeam Products covering eligible domestic salaried and
hourly employees, as well as domestic employees and former employees of divested
businesses. Effective December 31, 2002, all of such defined benefit pension
plans were consolidated into one plan (the "Sunbeam Products Consolidated
Retirement Plan"). The Sunbeam Products Consolidated Retirement Plan is a
consolidation of multiple types of plans, including dollar per month plans,
final average pay plans and one cash balance plan. Benefits under all but one of
such plans were frozen at various dates (other than interest credits on cash
balance accounts, which continue), most of which were prior to April 1997. For
these frozen plans, accordingly, no credit in the pension formula is given for
service or compensation of any salaried and hourly domestic Sunbeam Products
employees after that date. Employees continue to earn service towards vesting in
their interest in the frozen plans. Effective December 31, 2003, the Sunbeam
Products Consolidated Retirement Plan was closed to new participants. As of
December 31, 2004, one group of hourly employees under the Sunbeam Products
Consolidated Retirement Plan continues to accrue benefits under a dollar per
month benefit formula.

Coleman pension plans
---------------------

Coleman sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for its U.S. weekly paid
salaried employees and hourly paid employees (the "Coleman Hourly Pension
Plan"), which prior to December 31, 2003 was open to new participants, and a
defined benefit pension plan for U.S. salaried employees meeting certain
eligibility conditions (the "Coleman Salaried Pension Plan"). The Coleman
Salaried Pension Plan is a cash balance plan. Coleman Salaried Pension Plan
participants meeting certain eligibility conditions and Coleman Hourly Pension
Plan participants accrued benefits for service through December 31, 2003. During
2003, certain amendments to the Coleman Hourly Pension Plan and the Coleman
Salaried Pension Plan were approved by the Coleman Board of Directors and
communicated to affected employees. Pursuant to these amendments, effective
December 31, 2003, Coleman ceased accruals of additional pay credits (but not
interest credits on cash balance accounts, which continue) under the Coleman
Salaried Pension Plan and ceased accrual of all additional benefits including
payment of future retirement benefits for disability-related retirement under
the Coleman Hourly Pension Plan and such plan was closed to new participants.
The curtailment gain associated with the cessation of accruals and disability
benefits under the Coleman Hourly Pension Plan and the Coleman Salaried Pension
Plan amounted to $7.1 million in 2003.

BRK Brands pension plans
------------------------

Prior to July 31, 2003, BRK Brands sponsored a defined benefit pension plan for
certain collectively bargained hourly employees and a defined benefit plan for
other employees meeting certain eligibility provisions, which was a cash balance
plan. Effective August 1, 2003, the BRK Brands defined benefit pension plans
were merged into one plan (the "BRK Brands Pension Plan"). During 2003, certain
amendments to the BRK Brands Pension Plan were approved by the BRK Brands Board
of Directors and communicated to affected employees. Pursuant to these
amendments effective January 31, 2004, BRK Brands ceased accruals of additional
benefits (except for interest credits on cash balance accounts) for non-union
participants. The curtailment gain associated with the cessation of accruals
under the BRK Brands Pension Plan amounted to $0.1 million in 2003.

During 2004, certain amendments to the BRK Brands Pension Plan were approved by
the BRK Brands Board of Directors and the respective labor union and
communicated to affected employees. Pursuant to these amendments effective July
1, 2004, BRK Brands ceased accruals of additional benefits for union
participants. The curtailment gain associated with the cessation of accruals
under the BRK Brands Pension Plan in 2004 was less than $0.1 million.

Pension plans at discontinued operations
----------------------------------------

Prior to April 1, 2003, the Coleman pension plans included certain salaried and
hourly Powermate employees who met plan eligibility requirements under the
Coleman Salaried Pension Plan or the Coleman Hourly Pension Plan. Powermate
employees and former employees participating in the Coleman Hourly Pension Plan
and the Coleman Salaried Pension Plan were spun off into a new defined benefit
pension plan sponsored by Powermate (the "Powermate Pension Plan"). The
Powermate Pension Plan provided for all existing and future pension benefits
relating to former and current employees of Powermate. As of its formation, the
Powermate Pension Plan provided the same benefits to its participants as were
provided to them under their respective Coleman pension plans. During 2003,
certain amendments to the Powermate Pension Plan were approved by the Powermate
Board of Directors and communicated to affected employees. Pursuant to these
amendments, effective January 31, 2004, Powermate ceased accrual of additional
benefits under the Powermate Pension Plan (other than interest credits on cash
balance accounts) including payment of future retirement benefits for
disability-related retirement. The curtailment gain associated with the
cessation of accruals and disability benefits under the Powermate Pension Plan
was $1.8 million in 2003 and is included in "Loss from discontinued operations"
in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Pursuant to the sale of the Powermate Operating Segment (see Note 3), effective
as of July 31, 2004, responsibility for the administration of and all benefit
obligations and assets under the Powermate Pension Plan were assumed by the
buyer. An accrued benefit liability related to the Powermate Pension Plan
amounting to $1.7 million is reflected in "Liabilities of discontinued
operations" in the December 31, 2003 Consolidated Balance Sheets and net
periodic pension cost of $0.1 million, benefit of 1.1 million and cost of $0.6
million is reflected in "Loss from discontinued operations" for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations. Costs attributable to Powermate prior to the April 1,
2003 formation of the separate and distinct Powermate Pension Plan (as discussed
above), were derived through analysis of plan data performed by the Company's
benefit plan actuaries.

Postretirement benefit plans at Sunbeam Products
------------------------------------------------

A subsidiary of AHI maintains postretirement benefit plans that cover retired
former Sunbeam Products employees, their covered dependents, as well as certain
former employees of divested businesses and their covered dependents. The
Company has consistently funded the cost of these benefits on a pay-as-you-go
basis. Effective August 1, 2003, certain postretirement benefit plans that
covered retired former Sunbeam Products employees (and their dependents) were
amended to increase retiree and spouse contributions and to consolidate existing
plans. These changes to the Sunbeam Products postretirement medical plan reduced
the plan benefit obligation by approximately $4 million in 2003.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the
"MMA") was passed in December 2003. The MMA did not have a material impact on
the obligations of Sunbeam Products' postretirement medical and life insurance
plans since the majority of Medicare-eligible covered participants pay the full
cost of prescription drug coverage. The impact to Sunbeam Products'
postretirement benefits plans of all other provisions of the MMA has been
determined to be immaterial.

Postretirement benefit plans at Coleman
---------------------------------------

Coleman maintains postretirement benefit plans that cover retired domestic
employees (and their covered dependents) and certain eligible current U.S.
employees (and their covered dependents). These plans provide for medical and
life insurance benefits, the costs of which the Company has consistently funded
on a pay-as-you-go basis. Effective April 1, 2003, certain Coleman
postretirement benefit plans were amended to increase retiree and spouse
contributions, revise eligibility requirements for retiree medical/prescription
drug coverage, reduce the medical benefit for Medicare eligible participants and
freeze life insurance coverage to include only those who were retired as of
March 31, 2003. These changes to the Coleman postretirement benefit plan reduced
the plan benefit obligation by approximately $18 million in 2003.

Effective March 31, 2004, in accordance with SFAS No. 106, the Company
recognized a plan curtailment due to a substantial reduction in the expected
years of future service of active plan participants due to a reduction in
workforce driven by plant closings and general downsizing (see Note 14). The
associated curtailment gain amounted to $3.3 million and is reflected in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and the plan benefit
obligation was reduced by $3.5 million in 2004 pursuant to such curtailment.

Effective August 1, 2004, in response to the MMA, certain Coleman postretirement
benefit plans were amended to change the retiree and spouse contribution
formula, so that the projected retiree and spouse contribution percentage in any
given year is not less than the percentage from the previous year. This change
to the Coleman postretirement benefit plan reduced the plan benefit obligation
by $4.7 million in 2004.

Management has determined that obtaining information related to the aggregate
net periodic cost (benefit) for the Company's foreign defined benefit pension
plans for 2002 is not practicable.

Assumptions

Measurement dates
-----------------

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the majority of its domestic
and all of its foreign plans, however remeasurements were performed at various
dates during 2004 and 2003 due to plan amendments, curtailments and the creation
of the Powermate Pension Plan.

Domestic pension plans
----------------------

In determining the actuarial present value of the pension benefit obligation,
the weighted average discount rate used was 5.75% and 6.15% for December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively, and the expected return on plan assets was 8.0% for
both 2004 and 2003. The Company considers historical returns and future
expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset
allocation of the pension portfolio, in the selection of the expected rate of
return on plan assets.

The remeasurement performed at March 31, 2004 related to the curtailment
recognition in the Coleman postretirement medical plan, used a discount rate of
5.85% and a subsequent remeasurement at July 31, 2004 for the recognition of the
plan changes, used a discount rate of 6.15%. The remeasurement performed at
April 30, 2004 related to the amendment to cease accruals under the BRK Brand
Pension Plan (for union employees) used a discount rate of 6.30%. A
remeasurement at July 31, 2004 was also performed for the Powermate Pension Plan
to recognize the curtailment and settlement of the plan as a result of the sale
of the Powermate Operating Segment.

Remeasurements performed at March 31, 2003 related to the creation of the
Powermate Pension Plan and at October 31, 2003 related to the amendment to cease
accruals under the Coleman Salaried Pension Plan and the Coleman Hourly Pension
Plan used a discount rate of 6.25%. The remeasurement performed pursuant to the
merger of the BRK Brands hourly and salaried pension plans effective August 1,
2003 reflects the use of a 6.5% discount rate. Remeasurements performed at
November 30, 2003 relating to the amendment to cease accruals under the
Powermate Pension Plan and the BRK Brands Pension Plan (for non-union employees)
used a discount rate of 6.15%.

As discussed above, effective December 31, 2003 Coleman ceased accruals of
additional pay credits under the Coleman Salaried Pension Plan and ceased
accrual of all additional benefits under the Coleman Hourly Pension Plan. In
addition, effective January 31, 2004 and July 1 2004, BRK Brands ceased accruals
of additional benefits under the BRK Brands Pension Plan for non-union and union
participants, respectively. Accordingly, in 2004, assumptions as to the expected
increase in future compensations levels are no longer required in the
determination of the actuarial present value of the related benefit obligations.
The expected increase in future compensation levels used to determine the
actuarial present value of the aforementioned pension obligations in 2003 was

Brands employees. The use of estimates for increases in future compensation
levels is not required for the remaining domestic pension plans due to either,
(i) the cessation of accruals of additional benefits in prior periods, or (ii)
plan structures wherein service costs are based on criteria other than salary.

Foreign plans
-------------

In determining the actuarial present value of the foreign pension benefit
obligations, weighted average actuarial assumptions utilized for foreign defined
benefit plans are as follows for the years ending December 31:


                                               2004             2003
                                            ----------        ---------

         Discount rate                         4.89%            5.31%
         Expected return on plan assets        6.62%            6.78%
         Rate of compensation increase         3.50%            3.51%


The expected return on plan assets was 6.62% and 6.78% for December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. The Company considers historical returns and future
expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset
allocation of the pension portfolio, in the selection of the expected rate of
return on plan assets. The discount rate selected for each foreign plan is based
on the yields available on quality bonds of appropriate currency and term.
Projected compensation increases reflect current expectations as to future
levels of inflation.

Management has determined that obtaining information related to assumptions used
in the determination of net periodic pension cost (benefit) for the Company's
foreign plans for 2002 is not practicable.

Domestic Plan Assets

The Company's pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31,
2004 and 2003, by asset category are as follows:

                                                  2004           2003
                                               ---------       --------

         Equity securities                        54%             52%
         Debt securities                          36              38
         Other                                    10              10
                                               ---------       ---------
            Total                                100%            100%
                                               =========       =========

The target asset allocation is expected to be 47% for equity securities, 43% for
debt securities and 10% for other investments. The assets are invested as part
of two master trusts. AHI uses investment managers to invest the assets of the
two master trusts. The nominal rate of return objective for all of the assets in
the master trusts is 8.5% per year, net of fees. This equates to a real rate of
return, net of inflation, of at least 4.0% per year, net of fees. The expected
annual return over the long-term is approximately 8.0%. Investment performance
is evaluated over full market cycles.

Foreign Plan Assets

The Company's foreign pension plan aggregate weighted-average asset allocations
for both actual and target allocations at December 31, 2004 by asset category
are as follows:

                                                       2004
                                                     ---------
               Equity securities                        46%
               Debt securities                          32
               Other                                    22
                                                     ---------
                  Total                                100%
                                                     =========

Management has determined that obtaining information related to the aggregate
weighted-average asset allocations and aggregate average target asset allocation
for the Company's foreign plans for 2003 is not practicable.

Domestic Defined Contribution Plans

The Company provides eligible employees (employees with six months or more of
service) the opportunity to participate in its American Household, Inc. 401(k)
Savings, Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), formerly known
as the Sunbeam Corporation 401(k) Savings, Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan.
Under the 401(k) Plan, participants are eligible to defer from 1% to 50% of
their base salary, subject to annual maximum amounts. Prior to January 1, 2004,
the Company would match 100% of a participant's contribution to the 401(k) Plan
up to the first 2% of a participant's base salary, and thereafter 50% of a
participant's contribution to the 401(k) Plan on the next 2% of a participant's
base salary. Effective January 1, 2004, the 401(k) Plan was amended to provide
that the Company would match 100% of a participant's contribution to the 401(k)
Plan up to the first 3% of a participant's base salary, and thereafter 50% of a
participant's contribution to the 401(k) Plan on the next 2% of a participant's
base salary. In addition, the Company may make discretionary contributions to
the 401(k) Plan. The Company contributed $4.3 million in 2004, $4.3 million in
2003 and $4.5 million in 2002 to the 401(k) Plan related to continuing
operations.

Foreign Defined Contribution Plans

At certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, the Company provides eligible
foreign employees the opportunity to participate in various defined contribution
savings, profit sharing and other retirement plans. Contributions to such plans
in 2004, 2003 and 2002 were not significant.

Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Subsidiary Debtors'
cases were being jointly administered separately from the case for Sunbeam
Corporation. On November 25, 2002, by written order dated November 27, 2002, the
Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Sunbeam Corporation Plan and the Subsidiary
Debtors' Third Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Subsidiary Debtors' Plan"
and together with the Sunbeam Corporation Plan, the "Plans"). On December 18,
2002, the Debtors consummated the Plans and emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings.

Pursuant to the Sunbeam Corporation Plan, among other things, the claims of
Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. ("Morgan Stanley"), Wachovia Bank, National
Association (f/k/a First Union National Bank) ("Wachovia"), and Bank of America,
N.A., ("BoA"), as lenders (the "Secured Lenders") under the approximate $1.6
billion in borrowings under a bank credit facility dated as of March 30, 1998
(as amended, the "Pre-Petition Credit Facility"), were converted into (i) $100.0
million face value of Second Priority Notes, and (ii) 98.5% of the outstanding
common stock of AHI, subject to dilution by stock options to be issued to
employees, investment in common stock by the CEO (and certain affiliated trusts
and individual retirement accounts) and a restricted stock grant to the CEO.
Oaktree Capital received a portion of the shares of common stock to be issued to
BoA under the Sunbeam Corporation Plan as a result of a participation in the
Pre-Petition Credit Facility held by Oaktree Capital through BoA. In addition,
pursuant to the Sunbeam Corporation Plan, among other things, (i) holders of
pre-petition zero coupon debentures due 2018 (the "Debentures") received their
pro rata share of 1.5% of the outstanding common stock of AHI, subject to
dilution by stock options to be issued to employees, investment in common stock
by the CEO (and certain affiliated trusts and individual retirement accounts)
and a restricted stock grant to the CEO, (ii) certain other unsecured creditors
of Sunbeam Corporation will participate in an aggregate $1.0 million cash
distribution and (iii) the equity holders of Sunbeam Corporation received no
distribution. AHI has not yet distributed the $1.0 million and continues to
resolve the claims of unsecured creditors against such monies.

Pursuant to the Subsidiary Debtors' Plan, among other things, (i) the Subsidiary
Debtors became guarantors of the Second Priority Notes issued pursuant to the
Sunbeam Corporation Plan and pledged substantially all of their assets to secure
such debt, (ii) all other secured creditors of the Subsidiary Debtors, if any,
were rendered unimpaired, (iii) all general unsecured creditors of the
Subsidiary Debtors (other than intercompany claims) were rendered unimpaired,
and (iv) all equity interests in the Subsidiary Debtors, which were held by
Sunbeam Corporation or other Subsidiary Debtors, were rendered unimpaired and
the common stock of each of Sunbeam Products, Coleman and First Alert/Powermate,
Inc. became subject to employee stock options to be issued by such Subsidiary
Debtors.

In conjunction with the Filings, the Secured Lenders under the Pre-Petition
Credit Facility provided Sunbeam Corporation with $285.0 million of
debtor-in-possession financing (the "DIP Credit Facility"), primarily to finance
the working capital needs of the Debtors. The DIP Credit Facility was repaid in
connection with the consummation of the Plans. Under the terms of an amendment
dated March 13, 2002 the Company paid an amendment fee of $4.0 million. This fee
was amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the
one-year period of the amendment and the unamortized balance was written off
upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings. Borrowings under the DIP Credit
Facility accrued interest at the Company's option: (i) LIBOR plus 3.50% or (ii)
prime rate plus 2.50%. The weighted average interest rate for the DIP Credit
Facility was 6.19% for 2002.

In addition, in conjunction with the Filings, Coleman, Sunbeam Products, BRK
Brands and Powermate, each a Subsidiary Debtor, entered into the $200.0 million
A/R Securitization Facility (see Note 7). The A/R Securitization Facility was
terminated in connection with the consummation of the Plans.

10. REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11 AND ADOPTION OF FRESH START REPORTING -
(CONTINUED)

The Effective Date of the Debtors' emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings was
December 18, 2002. For accounting purposes, the Company adopted, as of December
31, 2002, the fresh start reporting requirements pursuant to SOP 90-7. The
Company was required to adopt fresh start accounting as the holders of the
existing voting shares immediately prior to the Filings received less than 50%
of the voting shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value was
less than the total of its post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. In the
fresh start accounting process, an aggregate value of $508.2 million was
assigned to the Company's consolidated shareholders' equity. The Company's
estimated equity value was based upon the enterprise value for the Company. The
enterprise value of the Successor Company was the mid-point of a range of
enterprise values based on a third party appraisal that considered many factors
and various valuation methods, including a valuation prepared by the Debtors'
financial advisor for their Chapter 11 proceedings, using a discounted cash flow
analysis based upon projected financial information, publicly traded company
market multiples of certain companies' operating businesses viewed to be similar
to that of the Company, and other applicable ratios and valuation techniques
believed by the Company and such financial advisor to be appropriate for the
purposes of such valuation. The valuations were based upon a number of estimates
and assumptions, which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies beyond the control of the Company.

SOP 90-7 requires an allocation of the reorganization equity value to the assets
and liabilities of the Successor Company in conformity with procedures specified
by SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Management obtained valuations from
independent third parties that, along with other market and related information
and analyses, were utilized in assigning fair values to assets and liabilities.
The fresh start adjustments resulted in, among other things, the allocation of
the excess of the reorganization value over the fair value of identifiable
tangible and intangible assets to "Reorganization value in excess of amounts
allocable to identifiable assets" in the Successor Company's Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

Expenses and income directly incurred or realized as a result of the Filings
have been segregated from the normal operations and are disclosed separately.
The major components of such costs for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
2002, as they relate to continuing operations, are as follows (in thousands):

Forgiveness of debt

Amount represents the gain resulting from the discharge of debt in accordance
with the Sunbeam Corporation Plan. This gain reflects the discharge of certain
liabilities of Sunbeam Corporation that were known to the Company or estimable
prior to the Filings, for which the Company was seeking relief pursuant to the
Sunbeam Corporation Plan. These liabilities consisted primarily of amounts
outstanding under the Pre-Petition Credit Facility and amounts owed related to
the Debentures (net of unamortized discount), accounts payable, accrued interest
and other accrued expenses.

Fresh start accounting adjustments

In accordance with the fresh start accounting requirements of SOP 90-7, amount
represents the charge to earnings resulting from adjusting the carrying value of
assets and liabilities to fair value. Fresh start adjustments related to
discontinued operations are included in "Loss from discontinued operations" in
the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Professional fees and administrative expenses

Professional fees and administrative expenses relate to legal, accounting and
other professional costs directly attributable to the Filings. Fees and expenses
incurred related to discontinued operations are included in "Loss from
discontinued operations" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

    (CONTINUED)

Severance and other employee costs

Severance costs relate to certain headcount reductions due to organizational
changes as a result of the Debtors' reorganization. Other employee costs relate
to retention payments to certain key employees to encourage continued employment
with the Company throughout the Chapter 11 proceedings.

Contractual interest expense related to Predecessor Company debt

As a result of the Filings, no principal or interest payments were made on the
outstanding borrowings under the Pre-Petition Credit Facility after the date of
the Filings. In addition, the Company ceased accruing interest on the
Pre-Petition Credit Facility and ceased amortizing the discount on the
Debentures in accordance with SOP 90-7. Contractual interest expense not accrued
or recorded on the Pre-Petition Credit Facility totaled $130.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002. Amortization of discount on the Debentures not
recorded for the same period amounted to $45.7 million.

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIENCY)

AHI Common Stock

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, AHI had 75,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value
common stock authorized. See Note 1 for discussion related to the January 2005
consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Adjustment for Fair Value of CEO Investment in Common Stock

In connection with the Company's emergence from Chapter 11, the former CEO (and
certain affiliated trusts and individual retirement accounts) purchased 292,844
shares of AHI common stock for $3.0 million. The shares were valued at $4.7
million, consistent with the per share fair value derived from the Successor
Company's fresh start equity value of $508.2 million as of December 31, 2002.
The difference between the $4.7 million fair value of the shares and the $3.0
million paid was recorded as compensation expense in 2003.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows (in
thousands):

12. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS

Stock Options Plans

In connection with the consummation of the Plans, each of AHI, Sunbeam Products,
Coleman and First Alert/Powermate, Inc. created management equity plans (the
"AHI Option Plan", the "Sunbeam Products Option Plan", the "Coleman Option Plan"
and the "FAP Option Plan", respectively, and collectively, the "Option Plans")
which became effective on December 18, 2002. For accounting purposes, all option
grants under the Option Plans made on the Effective Date were accounted for as
if the date of the grant was January 1, 2003.

12. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS - (CONTINUED)

The determination of fair value for stock options initially granted under the
Option Plans was based upon the enterprise values for the Company and its
business units that were obtained in connection with the Debtors' Plans. As
shares of common stock of AHI subsequent to the consummation of the Sunbeam
Corporation Plan have never been listed on a national securities exchange or
traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair value of grants made subsequent
to the Effective Date was determined based upon periodic appraisals of the
Company.

AHI Option Plan
---------------

Under the AHI Option Plan, 2,296,433 shares of AHI common stock were reserved
for issuance. Officers, employees or consultants of AHI were eligible for grants
of stock options and stock appreciation rights under the AHI Option Plan. Of the
total shares of stock reserved for awards under the AHI Option Plan, options to
purchase 1,275,797 shares were to be granted at an exercise price of $12.61 per
share based on an assumed equity value of $400.0 million, options to purchase
510,318 shares were to be granted having an exercise price of $14.97 per share
based on an assumed equity value of $475.0 million, and options to purchase
510,318 shares were to be granted having an exercise price of $17.34 per share
based on an assumed equity value of $550.0 million.

Options to purchase 2,013,250 shares of AHI common stock were granted under the
AHI Option Plan effective December 18, 2002. These grants included options to
purchase (i) 1,128,700 shares at an exercise price of $12.61 per share, of which
925,300 options were granted to the CEO and certain other senior executives of
AHI, (ii) 442,275 shares at an exercise price of $14.97 per share, all of which
were granted to the CEO and certain other senior executives of AHI, and (iii)
442,275 shares at an exercise price of $17.34 per share, all which were granted
to the CEO and certain other senior executives of AHI.

As the result of terminations during 2003, option grants under the AHI Option
Plan to purchase 261,734 shares were cancelled including (i) 146,030 options at
an exercise price of $12.61 per share, 120,086 of which were granted to certain

price of $14.97 per share, all of which were granted to certain senior
executives of AHI other than the CEO, and (iii) 57,852 options at an exercise

executives of AHI other than the CEO.

As the result of terminations during 2004, option grants under the AHI Option
Plan to purchase 92,150 shares were cancelled including (i) 71,770 options at an
exercise price of $12.61 per share, 50,006 of which were granted to certain
senior executives of AHI other than the CEO, (ii) 10,190 options at an exercise
price of $14.97 per share, all of which were granted to certain senior
executives of AHI other than the CEO, and (iii) 10,190 options at an exercise
price of $17.34 per share, all of which were granted to certain senior
executives of AHI other than the CEO.

During 2003, options to purchase 372,095 shares of AHI common stock were granted
under the AHI Option Plan consisting of (i) 153,200 options at an exercise price
of $12.61 per share, 143,000 of which were granted to the CEO and certain other
senior executives of AHI, (ii) 125,895 options at an exercise price of $14.97
per share, 93,000 of which were granted to the CEO and certain other senior
executives of AHI, and (iii) 93,000 options at an exercise price of $17.34 which
were granted to the CEO and certain other senior executives of AHI.

During 2004, options to purchase 7,905 shares of AHI common stock at an exercise
price of $14.97 per share were granted under the AHI Option Plan.

Non-cash compensation expense measured in accordance with APB No. 25 related to
compensatory stock option grants under the AHI Option Plan through December 31,
2004 is being recognized over the vesting period of such grants. Accordingly,
compensation expense of $2.2 million and $3.3 million was recognized during 2004
and 2003, respectively.

Under the AHI Option Plan, options may be incentive options or non-qualified
options. In addition, under the AHI Option Plan, stock appreciation rights
either in connection with a grant of stock options or unrelated stock
appreciation rights may be granted. The AHI Option Plan is governed by a
committee of the Board of Directors of AHI, or if no committee exists, the Board
of Directors of AHI. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under
the AHI Option Plan vest in the event of a change of control (as defined in the
AHI Option Plan.)

12. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS - (CONTINUED)

The AHI Option Plan provides for certain acceleration of vesting in the event of
the termination of a participant's employment due to death, disability or
termination without cause. If any shares of AHI common stock were to be acquired
upon exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the AHI Option Plan, they
would be subject to transfer restrictions and a right of first offer on the part
of AHI.

The number of shares subject to stock option and stock appreciation rights are
subject to adjustment to prevent enlargement or diminution of rights in the
event of any stock split, recapitalization, stock dividend, reverse stock split,
spin-off, exchange of shares or similar change in AHI's capital structure, or in
the event of an extraordinary dividend (as defined in the AHI Option Plan), as
determined by the committee or if no committee, the Board administering the AHI
Option Plan.

The stock options granted under the AHI Option Plan have a term of ten years,
subject to certain exceptions. Stock options granted on or within 60 days after
December 18, 2002 to participants who were hired by AHI on or before August 30,
2002 were immediately vested and exercisable as to one-third of such shares and
the remaining stock options vest and become exercisable as to one-third of the
shares on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant.
Subject to certain exceptions for grants to the CEO and certain other senior
executives of AHI who were hired on or before August 30, 2002, all stock options
granted to participants who were hired or retained by the Company after August
30, 2002 or stock options granted subsequent to February 18, 2003, will vest and
become exercisable as to one-third of the shares on each of the first, second
and third anniversaries of the date of grant.

No options have been exercised under the AHI Option Plan. In connection with the
consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
(see Note 1), all stock options outstanding under the AHI Option Plan at the
closing date were cancelled without being exercised and without any action on
the part of the holders in accordance with the terms of such plan, and as a
result of such cancellation, the holders received cash payments.

Subsidiary Option Plans
-----------------------

Under the Sunbeam Products Option Plan, the Coleman Option Plan and the FAP
Option Plan, (collectively the "Subsidiary Option Plans") 577,438 shares of
common stock of Sunbeam Products, 866,849 shares of common stock of Coleman and
215,387 shares of common stock of First Alert/Powermate, Inc. are reserved for
issuance. Under the Subsidiary Option Plans, officers, employees or consultants
of the subsidiaries are eligible for grants of stock options or stock
appreciation rights. Grants under the Subsidiary Option Plans from inception
through December 31, 2003 were issued at an exercise price of $12.97 per share.

Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Subsidiary Option
Plans will not vest until a change in control or a public offering (each as
defined in the Subsidiary Option Plans.) The stock options granted under the
Subsidiary Option Plans have a term of ten years from date of grant and are
governed by a committee of the Board of Directors of AHI, or if no committee
exists, the Board of Directors of AHI. Under the Subsidiary Option Plans, stock
options may be incentive options or non-qualified options. In addition, under
the Subsidiary Option Plans, stock appreciation rights, either in connection
with a grant of stock options, or unrelated stock appreciation rights may be
granted. The number of shares subject to stock options or stock appreciation
rights are subject to adjustment to prevent enlargement or diminution of rights
in the event of any stock split, recapitalization, stock dividend, reverse stock
split, spin-off, exchange of shares or similar change in Subsidiaries' capital
structure or in the event of an extraordinary dividend as defined in the
Subsidiary Option Plans.

In connection with the sale of Powermate, the Board of Directors of AHI approved
a partial payment on stock options granted under the FAP Option Plan, without
such options being cancelled and without any action on the part of the holders,
based on the net proceeds from such sale over the assumed equity value of
Powermate for purposes of granting stock options under the FAP Option Plan on
December 18, 2002. During 2004, the FAP Option Plan was terminated and certain
plan participants formerly of the First Alert and BRK Brands businesses received
grants under the Sunbeam Products Option Plan upon transfer of the management of
such business to Sunbeam Products.

Also in connection with the pending sale of Powermate, effective March 1, 2004,
the Company transferred management of the First Alert and BRK Brands businesses
to Sunbeam Products. In addition, the exercise price of the stock options
granted under the Sunbeam Products Option Plan was increased to $16.13 per
share.

No options have been exercised under the Sunbeam Products Option Plan or the
Coleman Option Plan. In connection with the consummation of the transactions
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 1) all stock options
outstanding under the Sunbeam Products Option Plan and the Coleman Option Plan
were cancelled at the closing date without being exercised and without any
action on the part of the holders in accordance with the terms of such plans,
and as a result of such cancellation the holders received cash payments and, in
the case of certain senior management, restricted stock of Jarden.

Pursuant to guidance provided by APB No. 25, the option grants under the
Subsidiary Option Plans are deemed to have grant and measurement dates that are
not the same, and as such, will be accounted for as variable awards. No
compensation expense will be recognized related to the Subsidiary Option Plans
unless a change of control or public offering of the common stock of such
subsidiary occurs triggering the immediate vesting of the respective stock
options.

A summary of the status of the Company's outstanding stock options and changes
during the year is presented below:

Successor Company Restricted Stock Grant

On December 18, 2002, the Company granted the former CEO 170,106 shares of
restricted stock. The shares of restricted stock are valued at $16.02 per share
for accounting purposes based on the Successor Company's equity value of $508.2
million as of December 31, 2002. For accounting purposes, this transaction is
accounted for as if the date of the grant had been December 31, 2002. One-third
of the shares will vest, and the risk of forfeiture with respect to such shares
will lapse, on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the
Effective Date, provided that the CEO's employment with the Company continues
until each such date. Upon death or disability of the CEO, 60% of the then
remaining restricted shares as of the date of such event shall fully vest. The
balance of any then remaining restricted shares not vested will be forfeited as
of such date. In the event that the CEO's employment is terminated by the
Company without cause or by the CEO due to a constructive termination without
cause, the then remaining restricted shares shall fully vest as of such
termination date. In the case of a termination for cause by the Company or a
voluntary termination by the CEO (other than due to death, disability or a
constructive termination without cause), the CEO will forfeit any then remaining
restricted shares as of such termination date. Upon a "change in control" as
defined in the CEO's employment agreement, the then remaining restricted shares
shall fully vest as of the date of such event. The restricted shares are subject
to the Securityholders' Agreement defined in Note 16 and certain restrictions on
transfer. Compensation expense of $2.7 million related to this grant is to be
recognized by the Successor Company over the vesting period beginning January 1,
2003, of which $0.7 million and $1.7 million has been recognized during 2004 and
2003, respectively, and is included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The remaining unamortized deferred compensation is $0.3 million as
of December 31, 2004.

During 2003, Coleman announced its intention to outsource the manufacture of its
outdoor recreation appliances manufactured at its Lyon, France facility. This
outsourcing initiative is not related to the European Restructuring Plan

Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other costs in 2004 primarily consist of
professional and legal fees and costs associated with manufacturing
inefficiencies directly related to the plant closing. During 2003, the Company
recorded charges of $0.4 million. The initiative is scheduled to be largely
completed in 2006 and is expected to result in the termination of 119 employees,

initiatives consisting of severance and other employee benefit-related costs
($2.2 million), other costs ($1.0 million) and fixed asset impairment ($0.7

Litigation

In September 2004, the Company settled an appraisal action, Prescott et. al. v.
The Coleman Company, Inc., filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by former
beneficial owners of approximately 417,400 shares of common stock of Coleman
seeking an appraisal of the fair value of their shares in Coleman as of January
6, 2000, the date their shares were acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Sunbeam Corporation. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company paid the former
beneficial owners $45.00 per share; inclusive of pre-judgment interest, totaling
$18.8 million. The Company expensed an additional $6.0 million for this matter
in 2004.

Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. ("FEI") and Fleetwood Folding Trailers, Inc. ("FFT"
and collectively with FEI, "Fleetwood") filed a suit against Coleman entitled
Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. and Fleetwood Folding Trailers, Inc. v. The Coleman
Company, Inc. in the Eighteenth Judicial District Court, Sedgwick County Kansas
Civil Department. FFT alleged that Coleman improperly terminated its trademark
license (the "License") with FFT for use of the Coleman(R) brand for folding
trailers, and sought damages in the amount of $10.0 million. FEI alleged that
Coleman breached the terms of the Purchase Agreement under which FEI bought what
is now FFT (the "Purchase Agreement"), which prevented Coleman from licensing
the Coleman(R) brand to anyone other than FEI for use on recreational vehicles
(the "Negative Covenant"). FEI sought injunctive relief preventing Coleman from
licensing the Coleman(R) brand to a third party for recreational vehicles as a
remedy for breaches, if any, by Coleman of the Negative Covenant and also sought
damages against Coleman in the amount of $115.0 million. Coleman also brought
counterclaims against FFT based on trademark infringement due to FFT's
unauthorized use of the Coleman(R) trademark after Coleman terminated the
License agreement. The court has held that neither FFT nor FEI has any right to
use the Coleman(R) brand.

In November 2004, the court ruled that Coleman was bound by the Negative
Covenant but found that FEI was not entitled to damages for breach of the
Negative Covenant. However, the court entered a permanent injunction prohibiting
Coleman from use of its name in connection with recreational vehicles. At trial
in December 2004, the Court dismissed FFT's claims, finding that Coleman
properly terminated the License agreement. The court also found that FFT
infringed the Coleman(R) trademark by continuing to use the Coleman(R) trademark
after the license was terminated. The jury awarded Coleman $5.2 million in
damages. The jury also found that FFT's infringement was willful, and based on
this finding, Coleman filed a motion seeking treble damages. The jury also found
that punitive damages would be appropriate based on FFT's conduct. In January
2005, the court ruled in favor of Coleman on its motion for treble damages and
awarded an additional $9.3 million of damages, resulting in a total damage award
to Coleman of $14.5 million. Coleman is also entitled to an award of attorneys'
fees, but the court has not yet ruled on the amount of attorney fees to be
awarded to Coleman. Coleman has filed a motion for reconsideration of the
court's ruling on the Negative Covenant.

Consolidated Leisure Industries, LLC ("Coachmen") and Coleman entered into a
license agreement in January 2004 (the "Coachmen License"), which licensed
certain Coleman trademarks to Coachmen for use in connection with recreational
vehicles. After a state court in Kansas issued a permanent injunction against
Coleman in the Fleetwood case enjoining Coleman from any use of the trademark
"Coleman" in connection with recreational vehicles, Coachmen filed an action,
Consolidated Leisure Industries, LLC d/b/a Coachmen RV Group v. The Coleman
Company, Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas,
alleging breach of the Coachmen license agreement and seeking, among other
things, damages in excess of $25.0 million and/or specific performance of the
Coachmen license agreement. In December 2004, Coachmen and Coleman settled
certain of Coachmen's claims, including Coachmen's request that the court enjoin
Coleman from selling, assigning, or transferring rights or ownership in the
Coleman name, and these claims have been dismissed with prejudice. Coachmen has
filed a motion for preliminary injunction to allow it to perform under the
license agreement. Coleman has filed a motion to stay the proceedings on the
ground that the issues of the Fleetwood injunction should be resolved in the
State Court proceeding. Coleman intends to raise several defenses to Coachmen's
claims, including a provision in the license agreement which limits Coachmen to
up to $3.0 million in damages if the licensee is enjoined from performing under
the terms of the license agreement.

The Company is involved in two related patent infringement cases involving AHI
(then named Sunbeam Corporation), Sunbeam Products, Wing Shing International LTD
(BVI) ("Wing Shing"), and Pentalpha Enterprises, LTD. ("Pentalpha"). Sunbeam
Products and AHI sought indemnification from Pentalpha for suits commenced by
third parties alleging that certain products sold by Sunbeam Products and
supplied by Pentalpha infringed the patent of a third party. In response,
Pentalpha alleged breach of a supply agreement under which Sunbeam Products was
supposed to submit a series of products to Pentalpha for manufacture and supply.
The Court awarded Sunbeam Products and AHI approximately $3.5 million on their
indemnification claims, and awarded Pentalpha $6.6 million on its breach of
contract suit. The case is currently on appeal and oral argument has been
scheduled for March 2005. Sunbeam Products also sued Wing Shing, an affiliate of
Pentalpha, seeking a ruling that Sunbeam Products is the exclusive owner of a
U.S. design patent utilized by Sunbeam Products in a Mr. Coffee-branded
coffeemaker, the AD series. In response, Wing Shing accused Sunbeam Products of
patent infringement. At trial in late 2001, the court found that Wing Shing is
the exclusive owner of the design patent and found that Sunbeam Products
infringed this patent. The court enjoined Sunbeam Products from selling
coffeemakers utilizing the design patent and awarded damages to Wing Shing of
$2.3 million. On appeal, the intermediate appellate court upheld the damage
award. The case is currently on further appeal.

Sunbeam Products and AHI have been sued in the First Civil Circuit of Colon,
Republic of Panama, by Adel Zayed, Ikram Zayed, Importadora Samir, S.A. and
Overseas Dispatcher Co. (collectively "Plaintiffs"). The Plaintiffs alleged that
they were damaged in an amount in excess of $17.0 million as a result of Sunbeam
Products' commencement of a criminal case for trademark infringement in 1999.
Sunbeam Products and AHI filed a motion under a Panama procedure asking for
dismissal on the grounds that the criminal court did not find that Sunbeam
Products acted in bad faith in pursuing the criminal trademark infringement. The
motion was denied and is now pending before the Supreme Court of Panama on
appeal.

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. As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, AHI and
its subsidiaries had established accruals for litigation matters of $10.8
million and $24.5 million, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 2004
includes $8.2 million and $2.6 million for estimated damages or settlement
amounts and legal fees, respectively. It is anticipated that the $10.8 million
accrual at December 31, 2004 will be paid as follows: $4.6 million in 2005 and
$6.2 million in 2006. 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. AHI and/or its subsidiaries are
also involved in various other lawsuits arising from time to time that AHI
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. AHI believes it is in substantial compliance with all environmental
laws and regulations, which are applicable to its operations. Compliance with
environmental laws and regulations involves certain continuing costs; however,
such costs of ongoing compliance have not resulted in a material increase in the
Company's capital expenditures and have not had a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (CONTINUED)

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company
also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, many of which
relate to divested operations. AHI 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 Superfund Act, and related state environmental remediation laws, generally
authorize governmental authorities to remediate a Superfund site and to assess
the costs against the PRPs or to order the PRPs to remediate the site at their
expense. Liability under the Superfund Act is joint and several and is imposed
on a strict basis, without regard to degree of negligence or culpability. As a
result, AHI or various of its subsidiaries recognize their responsibility to
determine whether other PRPs at a Superfund site are financially capable of
paying their respective shares of the ultimate cost of remediation of the site.
Whenever AHI or various of its subsidiaries have determined that a particular
PRP is not financially responsible, it has assumed for purposes of establishing
reserve amounts that such PRP will not pay its respective share of the costs of
remediation. AHI or various of its subsidiaries engage in active remediation
activities at the Environmental Sites referred to above. The remediation efforts
in which AHI or various of its subsidiaries are 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, AHI or various of its
subsidiaries have entered into agreements with governmental authorities to
undertake additional investigatory activities and in other instances have agreed
to implement appropriate remedial actions. AHI or various of its subsidiaries,
when necessary, have also established reserve amounts for certain non-compliance
matters including those involving air emissions.

AHI or various of its subsidiaries have 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. AHI 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. As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company's
consolidated environmental reserves were $13.6 million and $17.4 million,
respectively. The December 31, 2004 balance of $13.6 million includes $13.4
million for the estimated costs of facility investigations, corrective measure
studies, or known remedial measures, and $0.2 million for estimated legal costs.
It is anticipated that the $13.6 million accrual at December 31, 2004 will be
paid as follows: $3.9 million in 2005, $1.8 million in 2006, $2.7 million in
2007, $0.5 million in 2008, $0.6 million in 2009 and $4.1 million thereafter.
AHI or various of its subsidiaries accrued their best estimate of investigation
and remediation costs based upon facts known to them 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 AHI and various of its subsidiaries 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 AHI and various of its
subsidiaries could be a PRP, information relating to the exact 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.

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, AHI and various of its subsidiaries' ultimate
future liability with respect to sites at which remediation has not been
completed may vary from the amounts reserved as of December 31, 2004.

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.

Certain contaminants from the former Coleman downtown Wichita facility mixed
with contaminants from other nearby facilities in an area known as the Gilbert &
Mosley site. The City of Wichita is conducting the cleanup of the Gilbert &
Mosley site under an agreement with the Kansas Department of Health and
Environment. An arbitration decision in May 2004 determined that Coleman will be
obligated to pay 29% of the City of Wichita's costs of remediation and operation
and maintenance going forward

During 2004, the Company received $5.9 million in net settlement proceeds from
certain of its insurance carriers pursuant to historical losses incurred by the
Company primarily in connection with environmental litigation matters. The
settlement proceeds are reflected in the 2004 Consolidated Statement of
Operations as a reduction in SG&A.

Product Liability Matters

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, AHI 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.

AHI 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 AHI and its subsidiaries' current and
historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The
Company's products 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 necessarily based on estimates (which include actuarial
determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability
exposure, taking into account prior experience, numbers 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 information existing on December
31, 2004, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various
pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, individually or in
the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Leases

The Company rents certain facilities, equipment and retail stores under
operating leases. Rental expense for operating leases of continuing operations
amounted to $29.3 million, $26.8 million and $23.6 million in 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively. The minimum future rentals due under noncancelable operating
leases for continuing operations as of December 31, 2004 aggregated to $66.5
million. The amounts payable in each of the years 2005 through 2009 and
thereafter are $16.7 million, $11.5 million, $8.7 million, $7.1 million, $6.0
million and $16.5 million, respectively. There were no minimum future rentals
due under noncancelable operating leases for discontinued operations as of
December 31, 2004.

Certain Debt Obligations

Responsibility for servicing certain debt obligations of the Company's
predecessor were assumed by third parties in connection with the acquisition of
former businesses, although the Company's predecessor remains secondarily liable
pursuant to the respective loan documents. Such obligations amounted to $7.9
million as of December 31, 2004. Management believes that the third parties will
continue to meet their obligations pursuant to the assumption agreements.

Guarantees

In connection with a December 2000 sale of Sunbeam Products' interest in a joint
venture, Sunbeam Products provided a guarantee to the lender of the purchaser's
loan for the amounts due under the loan up to a maximum of $0.5 million. The
maturity date of the underlying loan is December 4, 2010. The guarantee is
supported by a letter of credit in the amount of $0.5 million. At December 31,
2003, the Company had a liability in the amount of $0.5 million which was
reflected in "Other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As
a result of (i) amendments made to the guarantee without the consent of Sunbeam
Products, which Sunbeam Products believes creates substantial doubt as to
whether the guarantee remains valid, and (ii) the annual review of the Company's
exposure related to this guarantee, the Company determined that the amount
recorded as a liability in connection with this guarantee is no longer deemed
necessary.

In connection with the sale of the coffee filter business in 2003, Sunbeam
Products provided a guarantee to the third party supplier of coffee filters for
an amount up to $0.4 million. Payment against the guarantee would be triggered
by the failure of the purchaser to pay amounts due to the third party supplier
of the coffee filters. The term of the guarantee extends for up to 5 years from
the date of the transaction. The Company initially recorded a liability of $0.1
million related to this guarantee which was subsequently adjusted in 2004 to the
full amount of the guarantee which is reflected in "Other current liabilities"
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 3).

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

The Company utilizes stand-by letters of credit to back certain financing
instruments, insurance policies and commercial letters of credit guaranteeing
various international trade activities. The Company had a total of $24.6 million
stand-by letters of credit at December 31, 2004 for the following purposes:
$21.8 million relating to insurance matters, mainly for workers compensation, as
well as collateral for surety and customs bonds and $2.8 million for other
business purposes. The Company had a total of $43.4 million stand-by letters of
credit at December 31, 2003 for the following purposes: $18.5 million relating
to insurance matters, mainly for workers compensation, as well as collateral for
surety bonds; $13.8 million as collateral for the Japanese Credit Facility, $7.6
million related to the Hedging Agreement (see Derivative Financial Instruments"
in Note 6) and $3.5 million for other business purposes. The contract value of
all letters of credit (including trade letters of credit) was $44.3 million and
$60.1 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

In addition, the Company enters into surety bonds to ensure performance related
to certain obligations. Contract values for surety bonds at December 31, 2004
and 2003 were $9.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Surety bonds
outstanding at December 31, 2004 related to (i) United States customs duties
associated with imported goods, (ii) security required under certain of the
Company's general liability self-insurance programs, and (iii) litigation
judgments that are under appeal. Surety bonds outstanding at December 31, 2003
relate to the same items discussed above, as well as domestic workers
compensation self-insurance programs that no longer require bonds at December
31, 2004. The contract amounts of the letters of credit and surety bonds
approximate their fair values.

Product Warranty Costs

The Company provides for warranty costs it estimates will be needed to cover
future warranty obligations for products sold. The Company accrues an estimated
liability at the time of sale based on historical claim rates applied to current
period sales, as well as any information applicable to current product sales
that would indicate a deviation from historical trends. Changes in product
warranty reserves for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

In connection with Powermate's 1995 purchase of substantially all of the assets
of Active Technologies, Inc. ("ATI"), Powermate could have been required to make
payments to the predecessor owner of ATI of up to $18.8 million based on
Powermate's sales of ATI related products and royalties received by Powermate
for licensing arrangements related to ATI patents. Through the July 31, 2004
effective date of the sale of the Powermate Operating Segment, the amounts paid
under the terms of this agreement have been immaterial.

At December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a $0.3 million liability for a
purchase commitment relating to a vendor supply agreement which was fully
satisfied during 2004. The Company did not have any other non-cancelable
purchase commitments in its normal course of business with remaining terms in

Securityholders' Agreement

In connection with the effectiveness of the Sunbeam Corporation Plan, AHI
entered into a Securityholders' Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2002 (the
"Securityholders'Agreement") with Morgan Stanley, Wachovia, Banc of America
Strategic Solutions, Inc. ("BoA Solutions" and, collectively with Morgan Stanley
and Wachovia, the "Bank Stockholders"), certain affiliates of Oaktree Capital
consisting of OCM Opportunities Fund III, L.P., OCM Opportunities Fund II, L.P.,
HCA Separate Account II, Gryphon Domestic VI, LLC (collectively, "Oaktree") and
Jerry W. Levin, AHI's CEO. In addition, the Securityholders' Agreement is
binding on all current and future holders of equity securities of AHI and its
subsidiaries, including option holders (collectively, the "Securityholders").

Pursuant to the terms of the Securityholders' Agreement, AHI's Board of
Directors is currently comprised of Mr. Levin and three designees selected by
the Bank Stockholders. Each Bank Stockholder holding at least 10% of AHI's
common stock is entitled to designate one member of AHI's Board. In addition,
for so long as the Bank Stockholders collectively hold at least 50% of AHI's
common stock, the Bank Stockholders as a group are entitled to designate one
additional Board member. Each Securityholder has agreed to vote all of the
voting securities of AHI held by it in favor of the foregoing designees.

For so long as the Bank Stockholders hold at least 50% of AHI's common stock,
AHI is required to obtain 51% stockholder approval (excluding shares issued to
the former holders of the Debentures and subject to the requirement that
management Securityholders vote proportionately with the Bank Stockholders for a
period of 21 months from the date of the Securityholders' Agreement) prior to
engaging in certain activities, including: (i) material changes in the nature of
the business of AHI and its subsidiaries; (ii) certain issuances of equity
securities by AHI and its subsidiaries; (iii) certain borrowings, loans or
guarantees of indebtedness; (iv) material changes to the equity-based
compensation plans of AHI or its subsidiaries or the creation of new
equity-based compensation plans; (v) certain mergers, consolidations, business
combinations or joint ventures or any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of AHI on a consolidated basis; (vi) amendments to the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of AHI or any of its subsidiaries; (vii) declaration or
payment of dividends and redemptions of capital stock; (viii) subject to certain
exceptions, the adoption of a plan for the complete or partial liquidation of
AHI or its subsidiaries or the commencement of a case under insolvency or
bankruptcy laws; (ix) significant changes in accounting policies or procedures;
(x) certain affiliate transactions; (xi) certain acquisitions of any asset or
business; (xii) certain election or reelection of non-employee directors or a
director of AHI to the board of directors of any subsidiary of AHI; and (xiii)

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - (CONTINUED)

The Securityholders' Agreement provides for certain "tag along" rights in the
event of any sale by a Securityholder to a third party of 10% or more of AHI's
common stock whereby the other Securityholders could also sell to the third
party purchaser a proportionate percentage of their shares of AHI's common stock
on the same terms as the Securityholder initiating the sale. The
Securityholders' Agreement also provides for certain "drag-along" rights whereby
in the event that Securityholders owning 50% or more of the outstanding shares
of common stock of AHI or common stock of the applicable subsidiary, as the case
may be, accept a change of control transaction, the "drag-along" rights would
allow the Securityholders accepting the change of control transaction to require
the remaining Securityholders to also sell their shares on the same terms to the
party proposing the transaction. Finally, in the event of certain issuances of
securities by AHI or its subsidiaries, the Bank Stockholders, Oaktree and Mr.
Levin would have certain "participation" rights to purchase additional
securities of the same type and class offered.

The Securityholders' Agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of the
following events: (1) the consent of each Bank Stockholder that continues to
hold at least 10% of the outstanding common stock of AHI; (2) any merger of AHI
with another entity following which the Bank Stockholders own in the aggregate
less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the combined entity; (3) all or
substantially all of the assets of AHI are sold to an entity other than a
subsidiary of AHI; or (4) a transaction is consummated as a result of which a
person or group of persons, other than a party to the agreement or one of its
affiliates, obtains the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of
AHI.

Effective January 24, 2005, the Securityholders' Agreement was terminated in
connection with the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement (see Note 1).

Board Meeting Expenses

The Company reimburses Bank of America, Wachovia and Morgan Stanley for their
out of pocket expenses related to attendance at Board meetings. Such costs
totaled $0.1 million in both 2004 and 2003.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the effectiveness of the Sunbeam Corporation Plan, AHI also
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2002 (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), with certain holders of AHI's common stock.
The Registration Rights Agreement provides, among other things, that at any time
after the earlier of (i) AHI's initial public offering and (ii) December 18,
2003, the holders of not less than 45% of the shares of common stock subject to
the Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registrable Common Stock") can require
AHI to file a shelf registration statement providing for the sale of any or all
of the Registrable Common Stock held by such holders. AHI must use its best
efforts to (i) file the shelf registration statement as soon as practicable, but
in any event within 90 days after receiving the request, and (ii) have the shelf
registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission as soon as practicable, but in any event within 210 days after
receiving the request.

Commencing at any time after the cessation of effectiveness of the shelf
registration statement referenced above, the holders of Registrable Common Stock
will be entitled to make up to six demands for registration, provided each such
demand is made by the holders of at least 10% of the then outstanding
Registrable Common Stock. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for
"piggyback" registration rights, permitting the holders of Registrable Common
Stock to request that the shares held by them be included in any offering
initiated by AHI, whether for its own account or the account of a third party,
as well as other customary provisions.

The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the first
date on which no shares of Registrable Common Stock are outstanding, and (ii)
the first date on which less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of AHI's
common stock issued pursuant to the Sunbeam Corporation Plan are held by the
original holders of such shares or their affiliates.

Effective January 24, 2005, the Registration Rights Agreement was terminated in
connection with the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement (see Note 1).

Hedging Agreement

In the first quarter of 2003, AHI entered into the Hedging Agreement with
Wachovia, a shareholder of AHI. See Note 6 for further discussion related to
these agreements.
