NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Jarden Corporation (the “Company” or “Jarden”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, normal and recurring and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.

On August 8, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of K2 Inc. (the “Acquisition”), a leading provider of branded consumer products in the global sports equipment market (see Note 4). The Company’s results of operations include the results of K2 Inc. (“K2”) from August 8, 2007.

On April 6, 2007, the Company acquired Pure Fishing, Inc. (“Pure Fishing”), a leading global provider of fishing equipment. The Company’s results of operations include the results of Pure Fishing from April 6, 2007.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company’s financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $4.7 and $10.3 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $10.7 and $17.1 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. SFAS 163 also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that the provisions of SFAS 163 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 provides a framework for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The Company does not expect that the provisions of SFAS 162 will result in a change in accounting practice for the Company.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt that May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Settlement)”, (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. FSP 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. This FSP 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the provisions of FSP 14-1 will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Table of Contents

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires that a Company with derivative instruments disclose information to enable users of the financial statements to understand: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. As such, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application of SFAS 161 is encouraged. Since SFAS 161 requires only additional disclosures concerning derivatives and hedging activities, the adoption of SFAS 161 will not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 related to financial assets and liabilities, as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis. These provisions, which have been applied prospectively, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 10 for disclosures related to the adoption of SFAS 157). Certain other provisions of SFAS 157 related to other nonfinancial assets and liabilities will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the provisions of SFAS 157 related to other nonfinancial assets and liabilities will not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 155” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 also established presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008 and did not elect the fair value option established by SFAS 159. As such, the adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

2. Inventories

4. Acquisitions

On August 8, 2007, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of K2, a leading provider of branded consumer products in the global sports equipment market, in exchange for consideration of $10.85 in cash per share of K2 common stock and 0.1118 of a share of Jarden common stock for each share of K2 common stock issued and outstanding. The total value of the transaction, including debt assumed, was approximately $1.2 billion. The Acquisition was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of the Acquisition. The excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the net of amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The valuation of assets and liabilities has been determined and the purchase price has been allocated as follows:

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and K2 as if the Acquisition had occurred at January 1, 2007. The pro forma results presented below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 combine the historical results of the Company and K2 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition that would have been reported had the Acquisition been completed as of the beginning of the period presented and should not be taken as indicative of the Company’s future consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Pro forma adjustments are tax-effected at the statutory tax rate of 39.5%.

During January 2008, the Company entered into an additional $200 notional amount swap agreement that exchanges variable interest rates (LIBOR) for a 3.7% fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement, which matures on December 31, 2010. The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest (LIBOR) payments.

During May 2008, the Company borrowed an additional $25 from an existing term loan under its senior credit facility. This term loan matures in 2012 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points.

Also in May 2008, in order to mitigate the effect that the rising cost of crude oil has on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials, the Company entered into a combination of derivative financial instruments on approximately 113,000 barrels of crude oil that mature on September 30, 2008. These derivatives provide the Company with maximum cost certainty, while also allowing the Company to benefit should the cost of crude oil fall below certain dollar per barrel levels. These derivatives are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes.

Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and as of June 30, 2008 their aggregate fair market value was an asset of $1.7.

In July 2008, the Company entered into an amendment of its securitization facility, which is subject to annual renewal, that extended it for another year until July 13, 2009. Following the renewal, the borrowing rate margin is 150 basis points and the unused line fee is 0.50% per annum.

8. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company or certain 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. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, that as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Environmental

The Company’s operations 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.

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, the majority of which relate to divested operations and sites. Various of the Company’s subsidiaries have been identified by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a 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 Company has 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. The Company accrues 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. The Company accrues its best estimate of investigation and remediation costs based upon facts known 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 discounted 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 the Company 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 various of the Company’s subsidiaries could be a PRP, information relating to the exact nature and extent of the contamination at each Environmental 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.

Due to the uncertainty described above, the Company’s ultimate future liability with respect to sites at which remediation has not been completed may vary from the amounts reserved as of June 30, 2008.

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 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. 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. The Company believes that anticipated probable costs of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company 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.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are therefore 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 the Company and its subsidiaries’ current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The Company’s product liability insurance program generally includes a self-insurance retention per occurrence.

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 based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into account prior experience, number 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.

Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Securities and Related Litigation

In January and February 2006, purported class action lawsuits were filed in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain Company officers alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The actions were filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period from June 29, 2005 (the date the Company announced the signing of the agreement to acquire Holmes) through January 11, 2006.

The complaints, which are substantially similar to one another, allege, among other things, that the plaintiffs were injured by reason of certain allegedly false and misleading statements made by the Company relating to the expected benefits of the THG Acquisition. Joint lead plaintiffs were appointed on June 9, 2006.

The lead plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on August 25, 2006 naming the Company, Consumer Solutions and certain officers of the Company as defendants (collectively “Defendants”) and containing substantially the same allegations as in the initial complaints. On October 20, 2006, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On May 31, 2007, the Court issued an opinion denying Defendants’ motion to dismiss. On July 3, 2007, Defendants filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the order denying Defendants’ motion to dismiss. On September 5, 2007, the court granted Defendants’ motion for reconsideration, but reaffirmed its May 31, 2007 denial of Defendants’ motion to dismiss. Defendants answered the amended consolidated complaint on July 10, 2007. On September 10, 2007, Plaintiffs moved for class certification. On March 6, 2008, the Court issued an opinion certifying a class comprised of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period from June 29, 2005 through January 11, 2006.

In February 2006, a derivative complaint was filed against certain Company officers and the Board of Directors of the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the individual defendants violated their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose material information and/or by misleading the investing public about the Company’s business and financial condition relating to the THG Acquisition. The complaint seeks damages and other monetary relief against the individual defendants. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on June 15, 2006. That motion has been fully briefed, but the Court has not yet issued a decision.

These actions are in the early stages of litigation and an outcome cannot be predicted. Management does not believe that the outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in these actions.

In connection with the sale of its Anthony Pools Division, K2 received certain distributions in 1997 and 1998 from a corporation in which it held a minority interest. On March 30, 2007, K2 received a notice of liability from the Internal Revenue Service asserting transferee liability for federal income taxes of this corporation totaling $16.5. K2 has contested the notice of liability by filing a petition in United States Tax Court. On May 20, 2008, K2 filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on the grounds that the statute of limitations applicable for assessing tax attributable to certain partnership and affected items of the alleged transferor, which items made up most of the asserted liabilities, had expired. On June 24, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service filed a Notice of No Objection to K2’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment agreeing that the applicable statute of limitations had expired. On July 15, 2008, the Court granted K2’s motion. K2 believes that the ultimate conclusion of any remaining issues in this case will not be material to the Company. However, K2 intends to continue to defend itself with respect to any remaining issues in this case, by among other things, seeking contribution from other shareholders of this corporation. K2 is continuing to gather information related to this matter.

9. Taxes on Income

The following table sets forth the details and the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2008:

 

(in millions)    2008  

Unrecognized tax benefits, January 1,

   $ 96.7  

Increases (decreases from):

  

Tax positions taken during the current period

     3.8

     (9.7 )

Other

     0.7  
        

Unrecognized tax benefits, June 30,

   $ 91.5  
        

During 2008, the change in the unrecognized tax benefits primarily relates to the settlement of the Company’s 2003 and 2004 domestic audits and audit settlements of certain foreign subsidiaries for pre-acquisition periods of K2. At June 30, 2008, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the reported tax rate is approximately $32.9, and the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as a result of purchase accounting is approximately $58.6. At June 30, 2008, the Company believes it has no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may significantly change within twelve months.

10. Fair Value Measurements

SFAS 157 defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value and requires that the assets or liabilities carried at fair value be disclosed by the input level under which they were valued. The input levels defined under SFAS 157 are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than defined in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2008:

 

     June 30, 2008

Liabilities

     —        (25.5 )     (25.5 )

Available for sale securities

     10.8      —         10.8  

Derivative assets and liabilities relate to interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts. Fair values are based on market prices obtained from independent brokers or determined using valuation models that use as their basis readily observable market data that is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including independent pricing services, brokers and market transactions. Available for sale securities are valued based on quoted market prices in actively traded markets.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). Among other items, the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 require the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the Company’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position. These provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 with earlier application permitted.

The Company is required to adopt the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 for the year ending December 31, 2008 and will use the second transition approach as defined by SFAS 158. This transition approach allows the Company to estimate the effects of the change by use of the measurements determined at September 30, 2007, as well as those used for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 to have a material affect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Capitalized Reorganization and Acquisition-Related Integration Costs

In connection with the Acquisition, management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of K2. These plans were contemplated at the time of acquisition and include, in part, the elimination of certain duplicative functions and vacating redundant facilities in order to reduce the combined cost structure of the Company. The capitalized costs incurred during 2008 primarily relate to workforce reductions associated with the elimination of duplicative functions and other exit costs resulting from the Acquisition. These costs are recognized as a liability assumed in the Acquisition and are included in the allocation of the cost to acquire K2 and are accrued within the Outdoor Solutions segment.

Branded Consumables Segment

In 2007, the Company initiated a plan to consolidate certain non-manufacturing processes across this segment’s platform. This plan includes headcount reduction and facility consolidation. Prior to 2007, the Company began implementing a strategic plan to reorganize its Branded Consumables segment and thereby facilitate long-term cost savings and improve management and reporting capabilities. Specific cost savings initiatives include the utilization of certain shared distribution and warehousing services and information systems platforms and outsourcing the manufacturing of certain kitchen products. Employee termination charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 primarily relate to these initiatives and substantially all employees under these initiatives have been terminated as of June 30, 2008.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, other charges primarily consist of professional fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, other charges primarily consist of facility closing costs ($0.6 and $1.5, respectively) and other costs, primarily related to professional fees ($1.1 and $1.7, respectively).

Consumer Solutions Segment

As part of the acquisition of American Household, Inc. (the “AHI Acquisition”) and The Holmes Group, Inc. (the “THG Acquisition”), each in 2005, it was determined that, due to similarities between the combined Consumer Solutions segment customer base, distribution channels and operations, significant cost savings could be achieved by integrating certain functions of these businesses, such as distribution and warehousing, information technology and certain administrative functions. In order to leverage a shared infrastructure, the Company initiated certain reorganization plans prior to 2007. This initiative was largely completed during 2007. Employee termination charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily relate to this plan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, other charges primarily consist of professional fees ($1.0 and $2.5, respectively) and facility closing costs ($1.6 and $1.7, respectively). At June 30, 2008, approximately $11 of costs (primarily lease obligations) remain accrued for this initiative.

Outdoor Solutions Segment

During 2007, the Company initiated plans to integrate certain businesses acquired from K2 and Pure Fishing. This plan includes, in part, facility closings and headcount reductions. Employee termination charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 relate to the implementation of these initiatives.

At June 30, 2008, $8.7 of severance and other employee benefit-related costs and $6.8 of other costs remain accrued for these initiatives.

Process Solutions Segment

During 2007, the Company initiated a plan to consolidate manufacturing facilities related to the plastics business. The plan is expected to result in facility closures and headcount reductions. Employee termination charges for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily relate to this plan.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Information

From time to time, the Company may make or publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products and similar matters. Such statements are necessarily estimates reflecting management’s best judgment based on current information. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such statements are usually identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “planned”, “outlook” and “goal”. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual results could differ materially. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in forward-looking statements.

Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the Company’s Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the SEC. Please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for a list of factors which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in the Company’s forward-looking statements and certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company’s businesses. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Acquisitions

2007 Activity

On April 6, 2007, the Company acquired Pure Fishing, Inc. (“Pure Fishing”), a leading global provider of fishing tackle marketed under well-known fishing brands including Abu-Garcia®, Berkley®, Gulp!®, Mitchell®, Stren® and Trilene®. The consideration consisted of $300 million in cash, a $100 million five year subordinated note with a 2% coupon and a warrant exercisable into approximately 2.2 million shares of Jarden common stock with an initial exercise price of $45.32 per share (subject to adjustment as provided therein). In addition to the upfront purchase price, a contingent purchase price payment of up to $50 million based on the future financial performance of the acquired business may be paid and in April 2008, approximately $25 million of this amount was paid. The Company’s results of operations include the results of Pure Fishing from April 6, 2007.

On August 8, 2007, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of K2 Inc. (“K2”), a leading provider of branded consumer products in the global sports equipment market in exchange for consideration of $10.85 in cash per share of K2 common stock and 0.1118 of a share of Jarden common stock for each share of K2 common stock issued and outstanding. The total value of the transaction, including debt assumed, was approximately $1.2 billion. The aggregate consideration to the K2 shareholders was approximately $701 million and was comprised of a cash payment of approximately $517 million and the issuance of approximately 5.3 million common shares of the Company with a fair value of approximately $184 million. The Company’s results of operations include the results of K2 from August 8, 2007.

The differences in the results from operations for 2008 versus 2007 are primarily due to the K2 and Pure Fishing acquisitions.

Three Months Ended June 30 2008 versus the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $310 million, or 29.5%, to $1.4 billion versus the same period in the prior year. The overall increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisition of K2, which is in the process of being integrated primarily into the Outdoor Solutions segment. Net sales in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $292 million, driven by the inclusion of the acquired K2 business and organic sales growth of approximately 1% in the legacy Coleman business. Net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment grew organically $13.7 million or 3.8%, which was primarily due to increased demand and improved pricing internationally, partially offset by weakness in domestic sales in most categories, primarily as result of overall economic weakness at retail and a reduction in sales of certain product lines ahead of new product introductions. Net sales in the Branded Consumables segment grew organically $2.6 million or 1.3%, which is mainly attributed to improved home canning and serviceware

sales, partially offset by overall weakness at retail, primarily at domestic home improvement retailers. The Process Solutions segment grew 4.1% on a year over year basis, primarily due to the inclusion of the K2 monofilament business, partially offset by a reduction in the zinc business, primarily due to a 42% decline in the average price of zinc during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the same prior year period.

Cost of sales increased $192 million to $979 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the acquisitions of K2 and Pure Fishing, partially offset by the inclusion of a $27.1 million charge during the three months ended June 30, 2007 related to the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory related to the Pure Fishing acquisition. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 72.0% and 74.9%, respectively (72.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 excluding the charge for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory). The change is primarily due to the elimination of the manufacturer’s profit in inventory in 2007, higher margins from acquired businesses, price increases and benefits from prior reorganization and integration programs, offset by rising commodity and transportation costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $66.0 million to $257 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of K2 and Pure Fishing. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses during the quarter was income and expenses from the settlement of various litigation, the non-tax related expense of repatriating foreign cash and expenses relating to certain product liability exposures.

Reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, net, increased $1.7 million to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in the prior year. The majority of these charges ($7.0 million) relate to ongoing integration-related activities at Outdoor Solutions principally as a result of the K2 and Pure Fishing acquisitions. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company also recorded reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs ($2.9 million) within the Branded Consumables and Process Solutions segments that primarily relate to the consolidation of manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions. The 2007 reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs related primarily to Consumer Solutions; there were no such costs in the second quarter of 2008 as this reorganization has been completed.

Net interest expense increased by $9.9 million to $42.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same prior year period. This increase was principally due to higher levels of outstanding debt versus the same prior year period. The weighted average interest rate for 2008 decreased to 6.1% from 6.8% in 2007, primarily due to reductions in LIBOR during this period.

The Company’s reported tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 39.1% and 43.5%, respectively. The difference from the statutory tax rate to the reported rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 results principally from U.S. tax expense of $1.7 million recognized on undistributed foreign income. The reported tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 differs from the statutory rate principally as a result of a $2.3 million tax charge recorded on the repatriation of foreign dividends.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $26.3 million to $43.0 million versus the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 diluted earnings per share were $0.56 and $0.23, respectively. The 157% increase in net income was primarily due to incremental earnings resulting from volume increases and margin expansion due to acquisitions, an incremental decrease in stock-based compensation expense ($5.6 million) and the charge recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2007 related to the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory related to the Pure Fishing acquisition ($27.1 million).

Six Months Ended June 30 2008 versus the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $706 million, or 37.8%, to $2.6 billion versus the same period in the prior year. The overall increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisitions of K2 and Pure Fishing, which are in the process of being integrated primarily into the Outdoor Solutions segment. Net sales in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $736 million, driven by the inclusion of the acquired K2 and Pure Fishing businesses and organic growth in the legacy Coleman business (approximately 4%). The organic growth was primarily due to new product sales, favorable foreign currency translation and overall pricing and volume increases. Net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment decreased $24.8 million or 3.4%, which was primarily due to weakness in domestic sales in most categories, primarily as result of overall economic weakness at retail and a reduction in sales of certain product lines ahead of new product introductions, partially offset by increased demand and improved pricing internationally. Net sales in the Branded Consumables segment decreased $9.5 million or 2.5%, which is mainly attributed to overall weakness at retail, primarily at domestic home improvement retailers. The Process Solutions segment grew 3.9% on a year over year basis, primarily due to the inclusion of the K2 monofilament business, partially offset by a decline in the zinc business, primarily due to lower coinage sales, which is typical in a recessionary environment, and a 42% decline in the average price of zinc during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the same prior year period.

Cost of sales increased $462 million to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the acquisitions of K2 and Pure Fishing, partially offset by the inclusion of a $27.1 million charge during the six

months ended June 30, 2007 related to the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory related to the Pure Fishing acquisition. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 72.5% and 75.2%, respectively (73.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 excluding the charge for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory). The improvement is primarily due to the elimination of the manufacturer’s profit in inventory in 2007, higher margins from acquired businesses, price increases and benefits from prior reorganization and integration programs, partially offset by rising commodity and transportation costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $175 million to $516 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions of K2 and Pure Fishing.

Reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, net, increased $3.3 million to $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in the prior year. The majority of these charges ($14.0 million) relate to ongoing integration-related activities at Outdoor Solutions principally as a result of the K2 and Pure Fishing acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company also recorded reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs ($5.6 million) within the Branded Consumables and Process Solutions segments that primarily relate to the consolidation of manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions. The 2007 reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs related primarily to Consumer Solutions; there were no such costs in 2008 as this reorganization has been completed.

Net interest expense increased by $31.1 million to $88.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same prior year period. This increase was principally due to higher levels of outstanding debt versus the same prior year period. The weighted average interest rate for 2008 decreased to 6.4% from 7.0% in 2007, primarily due to reductions in LIBOR during this period.

The Company’s reported tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 41.6% and 41.0%, respectively. The difference from the statutory tax rate to the reported rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 results principally from U.S. tax expense of $3.8 million recognized on undistributed foreign income. The reported tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 differs from the statutory rate principally as a result of a $2.3 million tax charge recorded on the repatriation of foreign dividends.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $29.6 million to $47.7 million versus the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 diluted earnings per share were $0.62 and $0.25, respectively. The 164% increase in net income was primarily due to incremental earnings resulting from volume increases and margin expansion due to acquisitions, an incremental decrease in stock-based compensation expense ($6.4 million) and the charge recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2007 related to the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory related to the Pure Fishing acquisition ($27.1 million), partially offset by incremental acquisition-related interest expense recorded in 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and the availability under its senior credit facility and the credit facilities of certain foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, provide sufficient liquidity to support working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, completion of current and future reorganization and acquisition-related integration programs, and servicing debt obligations.

Net cash provided in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $66.8 million and $17.9 million, respectively. The improvement is primarily due to the K2 and Pure Fishing acquisitions.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $43.8 million and $267 million, respectively. The change is primarily due to the issuance of long-term debt during 2007 ($650 million), partially offset by long-term debt payments ($394 million) in 2007, an incremental decrease in debt issue costs in 2008 ($29.7 million) and an incremental decrease in the repurchase common stock and shares tendered for taxes ($14.0 million).

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $81.8 million versus $400 million for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, capital expenditures were $45.3 million versus $37.3 million for the same period in 2007. The Company has historically maintained capital expenditures at less than 2% of net sales and expects that capital expenditures for 2008 will be consistent with this threshold. Cash used for the acquisition of businesses and consideration paid for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $29.1 million versus $332 million for the same period in 2007.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2008, there was no amount outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the Company’s senior credit facility (the “Facility”). At June 30, 2008, net availability under the Facility was approximately $194 million, after deducting approximately $31

million of outstanding letters of credit. The Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused balance of the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2008, the annual commitment fee on unused balances was 0.375%. During May 2008, the Company borrowed an additional $25 million from an existing term loan under the Facility. This term loan matures in 2012 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points.

The Company maintains a $250 million receivables purchase agreement (the “Securitization Facility”), which is subject to annual renewal, bears interest at a margin over the commercial paper rate and is accounted for as a borrowing. Under the Securitization Facility, substantially all of the Company’s Outdoor Solutions, Consumer Solutions and Branded Consumables domestic accounts receivable are sold to a special purpose entity, Jarden Receivables, LLC (“JRLLC”), which is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company. JRLLC funds these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement, secured by the accounts receivable. There is no recourse to the Company for the unpaid portion of any loans under this loan agreement. The Securitization Facility will be drawn upon and repaid as needed to fund general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2008, the Company’s Securitization Facility was fully utilized with outstanding borrowings totaling $250 million. The Securitization Facility is subject to annual renewal. In July 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility that extended it for another year until July 13, 2009. Following the renewal, the borrowing rate margin is 150 basis points and the unused line fee is 0.50% per annum. The Securitization Facility is reflected as a short-term borrowing on the Company’s balance sheet because of its annual term.

Certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company maintain working capital lines of credit with their respective local financial institutions for use in operating activities. At June 30, 2008, the aggregate amount available under these lines of credit totaled approximately $111 million.

During January 2008, the Company entered into an additional $200 million notional amount swap agreement that exchanges variable interest rates (LIBOR) for a 3.7% fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement, which matures on December 31, 2010. The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest (LIBOR) payments.

The Company was not in default of any of its debt covenants at June 30, 2008.

The Company maintains international cash balances which at times may be significant. At June 30, 2008, approximately $21 million of this may be subject to certain availability restrictions. The Company does not believe that such restrictions will materially affect the Company’s liquidity, nor does the Company rely on these cash balances to fund operations outside of the country where the cash was generated.

Risk Management

From time to time the Company enters into derivative transactions primarily to hedge its exposures to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company uses fixed and floating rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest. Floating rate swaps are used to convert the fixed rates of long-term debt into short-term variable rates to take advantage of current market conditions. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce the Company’s risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. Interest rate swap contracts are therefore used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision.

In May 2008, in order to mitigate the effect that the rising cost of crude oil has on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials, the Company entered into a combination of derivative financial instruments on approximately 113,000 barrels of crude oil that mature on September 30, 2008. These derivatives provide the Company with maximum cost certainty, while also allowing the Company to benefit should the cost of crude oil fall below certain dollar per barrel levels. These derivatives are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and as of June 30, 2008 their aggregate fair market value was an asset of $1.7 million.

Cash Flow Hedges

At June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion of notional amount outstanding in swap agreements that exchange variable interest rates (LIBOR) for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements and are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments. The effective portion of the after tax fair value gains or losses on these swaps is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair market value of these swaps was a liability of $17.0 million at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding a $40 million notional amount swap agreement that exchanges a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement that is not designated as an effective hedge for accounting purposes and the fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations. This swap matures June 30, 2010 and has a fixed rate of interest of 4.79%. The fair market value of this swap was a liability of $1.0 million at June 30, 2008.

Fair Value Hedges

At June 30, 2008, the Company had a $27.8 million notional amount cross-currency swap outstanding that exchanges Canadian dollars for U.S. dollars. This swap exchanges the variable interest rate bases of the U.S. dollar balance (3-month U.S. LIBOR plus a spread of 175 basis points) and the equivalent Canadian dollar balance (3-month CAD BA plus a spread of 192 basis points). This swap is designated as fair value hedge on a U.S dollar based term loan of a Canadian subsidiary. The fair market value of this cross-currency swap at June 30, 2008, was a liability of $4.7 million, with a corresponding offset to long-term debt.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts (“foreign currency contracts”) to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statement of operations as the underlying hedged item. At June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $306 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales and mature through 2009. At June 30, 2008, the fair market value of these contracts was a net liability of $3.7 million.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding approximately $65 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through 2008. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations. The fair market value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of $1.3 million at June 30, 2008.

 

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In general, business enterprises can be exposed to market risks including fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency values, and interest rates that can affect the cost of operating, investing and financing. The Company’s exposures to these risks are moderate. The Company’s plastic consumables business purchases resin from regular commercial sources of supply and, in most cases, multiple sources. The supply and demand for plastic resins is subject to cyclical and other market factors. With many of our external customers, we have the ability to pass through price increases with an increase in our selling price and certain of our external customers purchase the resin used in products we manufacture for them. The Company’s zinc business has sales arrangements with a majority of its customers such that sales are priced either based upon supply contracts that provide for fluctuations in the price of zinc to be passed on to the customer or are conducted on a tolling basis whereby customers supply zinc to the Company for processing. Such arrangements as well as the zinc business utilizing forward buy contracts reduce the exposure of this business to changes in the price of zinc.

The Company manages its interest rate and foreign currency exposures through the use of derivative financial instruments. For a further discussion see Item 2 of Part I under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there have been no such changes during the quarter covered by this quarterly report.

On August 8, 2007 the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of K2, a publicly traded company. The Company considers the acquisition of K2 material to the results of its operations, financial position and cash flows from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2008 and considers the controls and procedures of K2 to be reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has excluded from its assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting K2’s internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal year 2007.

On April 6, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Pure Fishing, a privately held company. The Company considers the controls and procedures of Pure Fishing to be reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has excluded from its assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting Pure Fishing’s internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal year 2007.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company or certain 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. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, that as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Environmental

The Company’s operations 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.

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, the majority of which relate to divested operations and sites. Various of the Company’s subsidiaries have been identified by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a 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 Company has 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. The Company accrues 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. The Company accrues its best estimate of investigation and remediation costs based upon facts known 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 discounted 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 the Company 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 various of the Company’s subsidiaries could be a PRP, information relating to the exact nature and extent of the contamination at each Environmental 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.

Due to the uncertainty described above, the Company’s ultimate future liability with respect to sites at which remediation has not been completed may vary from the amounts reserved as of June 30, 2008.

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 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. 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. The Company believes that anticipated probable costs of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company 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.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are therefore 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 the Company and its subsidiaries’ current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The Company’s product liability insurance program generally includes a self-insurance retention per occurrence.

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 based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into account prior experience, number 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.

Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Securities and Related Litigation

In January and February 2006, purported class action lawsuits were filed in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain Company officers alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The actions were filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period from June 29, 2005 (the date the Company announced the signing of the agreement to acquire Holmes) through January 11, 2006.

The complaints, which are substantially similar to one another, allege, among other things, that the plaintiffs were injured by reason of certain allegedly false and misleading statements made by the Company relating to the expected benefits of the THG Acquisition. Joint lead plaintiffs were appointed on June 9, 2006.

The lead plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on August 25, 2006 naming the Company, Consumer Solutions and certain officers of the Company as defendants (collectively “Defendants”) and containing substantially the same allegations as in the initial complaints. On October 20, 2006, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On May 31, 2007, the Court issued an opinion denying Defendants’ motion to dismiss. On July 3, 2007, Defendants filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the order denying Defendants’ motion to dismiss. On September 5, 2007, the court granted Defendants’ motion for reconsideration, but reaffirmed its May 31, 2007 denial of Defendants’ motion to dismiss. Defendants answered the amended consolidated complaint on July 10, 2007. On September 10, 2007, Plaintiffs moved for class certification. On March 6, 2008, the Court issued an opinion certifying a class comprised of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period from June 29, 2005 through January 11, 2006.

In February 2006, a derivative complaint was filed against certain Company officers and the Board of Directors of the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the individual defendants violated their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose material information and/or by misleading the investing public about the Company’s business and financial condition relating to the THG Acquisition. The complaint seeks damages and other monetary relief against the individual defendants. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on June 15, 2006. That motion has been fully briefed, but the Court has not yet issued a decision.

These actions are in the early stages of litigation and an outcome cannot be predicted. Management does not believe that the outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in these actions.

In connection with the sale of its Anthony Pools Division, K2 received certain distributions in 1997 and 1998 from a corporation in which it held a minority interest. On March 30, 2007, K2 received a notice of liability from the Internal Revenue Service asserting transferee liability for federal income taxes of this corporation totaling $16.5 million. K2 has contested the notice of liability by filing a petition in United States Tax Court. On May 20, 2008, K2 filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on the grounds that the statute of limitations applicable for assessing tax attributable to certain partnership and affected items of the alleged transferor, which items made up most of the asserted liabilities, had expired. On June 24, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service filed a Notice of No Objection to K2’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment agreeing that the applicable statute of limitations had expired. On July 15, 2008, the Court granted K2’s motion. K2 believes that the ultimate conclusion of any remaining issues in this case will not be material to the Company. However, K2 intends to continue to defend itself with respect to any remaining issues in this case, by among other things, seeking contribution from other shareholders of this corporation. K2 is continuing to gather information related to this matter.
