Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 29, 2008, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. A copy of our press release announcing our earnings results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The earnings press release furnished herewith contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Jarden Corporation (the “Company”) has provided reconciliations within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Additionally, the Company’s credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, adjustments relating to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, non-cash stock-based compensation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Also attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 is a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures anticipated to be discussed during our July 29, 2008 earnings conference call to the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is expected to be presented in the earnings conference call because the Company’s credit facility and senior subordinated notes contain financial and other covenants which are based on or refer to the Company’s EBITDA. Additionally, EBITDA is a basis upon which our management assesses financial performance and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in measuring the operating performance and creditworthiness of companies with comparable market capitalization to the Company, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. Furthermore, EBITDA is one of the factors used to determine the total amount of bonuses available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. EBITDA is widely used by the Company to evaluate potential acquisition candidates. Adjusted EBITDA (“Segment Earnings”), excluding reorganization and

acquisition-related integration costs, the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory, inventory write-offs, duplicative administrative costs, and loss on early extinguishment of debt, as applicable, is expected to be presented in the earnings conference call because it is a basis upon which the Company’s management has assessed its financial performance in the years presented. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Company’s credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, adjustments relating to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, non-cash stock-based compensation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt.

The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the earnings release.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

“Jarden posted an outstanding second quarter in a difficult macro economic environment,” said Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jarden Corporation. “By any key measure, whether organic sales growth, gross margin expansion, free cash flow, working capital improvements, liquidity and positive momentum, we achieved our macro goals. It was particularly satisfying to deliver organic sales growth in each of our primary business segments and we anticipate continuing to grow sales organically in the second half of 2008. The defensive nature of our diversified business model is proving that market leading brands coupled with innovative, value driven products can win even in this very tough economy.”

Mr. Franklin continued, “We are focused on continuing to execute well in the back half of the year, without cutting back on our investment spend on new product development and marketing that will help drive our success in future years. While we are not immune to the significant headwinds of rising costs and consumer softness affecting many companies in the consumer space, our goal is to take full advantage of the current turmoil to consolidate our leadership positions in the niche markets we serve and reinforce the relevancy of our brands and products to our customers.”

The Company will be holding a conference call at 9:45 a.m. EDT today, July 29, 2008, to further discuss its results and respond to questions. The call will be accessible via a webcast through the Company’s website at www.jarden.com and will be archived online until August 12, 2008.

Jarden Corporation is a leading provider of niche consumer products. Jarden operates in three primary business segments through a number of well recognized brands, including: Outdoor Solutions: Abu Garcia®, Berkley®, Campingaz® and Coleman®, Fenwick®, Gulp!®, JT®, K2®, Marker®, Marmot®, Mitchell®, Penn®, Rawlings®, Shakespeare®, Stearns®, Stren®, Trilene®, and Volkl®; Consumer Solutions: Bionaire®, Crock-Pot®, FoodSaver®, Health o meter®, Holmes®, Mr. Coffee®, Oster®, Patton®, Rival®, Seal-a-Meal®, Sunbeam®, VillaWare® and White Mountain®; and Branded Consumables: Ball®, Bee®, Bicycle®, Crawford®, Diamond®, Dicon®, First Alert®, Forster®, Hoyle®, Kerr®, Lehigh®, Leslie-Locke®, Loew Cornell® and Pine Mountain®.

Note: This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws and is intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the Company’s adjusted earnings per share, repurchase of shares of common stock from time to time under the Company’s stock repurchase program, the outlook for Jarden’s markets and the demand for its products, estimated sales, segment earnings, earnings per share, cash flows from operations, future revenues and margin requirement and expansion, organic growth, the success of new product introductions, growth in costs and expenses and the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, and other unusual items, including Jarden’s ability to integrate and obtain the anticipated results and synergies from its acquisitions, including Pure Fishing, Inc. and K2 Inc. These projections and statements are based on management’s estimates and assumptions with respect to future events and financial performance and are believed to be reasonable, though are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. A discussion of factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company’s periodic and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Company’s credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, adjustments relating to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, non-cash stock-based compensation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Note 3: In prior years, the Company had adjusted for non-cash stock compensation costs to derive its adjusted net income. In 2008, the Company no longer adjusts for these costs and therefore, prior year amounts have been restated to conform with the current year presentation. The Company recorded non-cash stock compensation costs of $10.7 million and $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $4.7 million and $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
