                     11 1/4% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2007, SERIES B

     Scovill Fasteners Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is
supplementing its Exchange Offer Prospectus dated February 13, 1998 (the

Supplement, the terms of the Prospectus and the Offer to Exchange remain as set
forth in the Prospectus.

     On February 20, 1998, Co-Investment Partners, L.P. ("Co-Investment")
purchased (the "New Investment") one million units (the "Common Stock Units"),
each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one share of Series B Preferred
Stock, from Parent for a price of $10,320,833. Parent used the proceeds from the
New Investment to repurchase from the Initial Purchasers the 100,000 units (the
"Old Units") that were sold to the Initial Purchasers in the Units Offering.
Each Old Unit consisted of one share of 13 3/4% Series A Cumulative Redeemable
Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Senior Preferred Stock") and one warrant to
purchase four Common Stock Units. The purchase price paid by Parent for the Old
Units was equal to the liquidation preference of the Senior Preferred Stock plus
a prorated dividend from the issue date to the date of repurchase.

     In connection with the New Investment, (i) Co-Investment entered into a
Voting Agreement with Parent and Saratoga, pursuant to which Co-Investment
granted Saratoga sole voting power with respect to 672,000 shares of the Common
Stock purchased by Co-Investment, (ii) Co-Investment was given "observor" status
to attend meetings of the Company's Board of Directors and (iii) Co-Investment
became entitled to one demand registration.

(1)  On October 17, 1995, Fasteners was acquired (the "Kohlberg Acquisition") by
     KSCO, which was organized by Kohlberg & Co. ("Kohlberg") for the purpose of
     acquiring the capital stock of Fasteners. The Kohlberg Acquisition was
     accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Financial
     information for periods prior to October 17, 1995 are for Fasteners when it
     was a wholly owned subsidiary of Alper Holdings USA, Inc. ("Alper") (in
     such capacity, Fasteners is referred to herein as "Predecessor-Alper"). The
     Kohlberg Acquisition and the related application of purchase accounting
     resulted in changes to the capital structure of Predecessor-Alper and the
     historical basis of various assets and liabilities. The effect of such
     changes significantly impairs the comparability of the financial position
     and results of operations of Predecessor-Alper to those of KSCO.

(2)  The Acquisition and the related application of purchase accounting resulted
     in changes to the capital structure of KSCO (sometimes referred to herein
     as "Predecessor-KSCO") and the historical basis of various assets and
     liabilities. The effect of such changes significantly impairs the
     comparability of the financial position and results of operations of
     Predecessor-KSCO to those of Parent.

                                       2

(3)  Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") includes nonrecurring
     income of $600 in 1994 primarily related to the favorable resolution of
     matters previously accrued. SG&A also includes a nonrecurring charge for
     severance payments made to employees at the Clarkesville facility who were
     terminated when certain Rau and PCI employees were transferred to the
     Clarkesville facility. Such charge amounted to $118 and $272 for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996,
     respectively. On a pro forma basis, SG&A also includes management fees to
     be paid to Saratoga by Parent, which will be dividended by Fasteners to
     Parent in an amount of $600 annually.

(4)  In January 1996, the Company refinanced its previously existing credit
     agreements with the Existing Credit Facility, which resulted in an
     extraordinary after-tax charge of $950 in the first quarter of 1996 from
     the write-off of related deferred financing costs.

(5)  EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense (including
     amortization of deferred financing costs), provision for income taxes,
     depreciation, amortization, rental payments on the Synthetic Lease, the
     non-cash portion of other expense (income), preferred stock dividends and
     extraordinary items. Payments on the Synthetic Lease were $858 and $3,861
     for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September
     30, 1997, respectively. The non-cash portion of other expense (income) was
     $(523) and $123 for the year ended December 31, 1994 and for the period
     from January 1, 1995 to October 17, 1995, respectively, and was
     insignificant for all other periods presented.

(6)  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined in footnote (5) above)
     plus (i) non-recurring expense (income) included in SG&A (see footnote (3)
     above), (ii) the portion of other expense (income) not included in EBITDA,
     which consists of miscellaneous non-operating cash items, and (iii)
     management fees to Alper, Kohlberg and, on a pro forma basis, Saratoga. On
     an historical basis, management fees paid to Alper and Kohlberg, included
     in the general and administrative expenses, were $538, $0, $63, $425, $342
     and $375 for the year ended December 31, 1994, the period from January 1,
     1995 to October 17, 1995, the period from October 17, 1995 to December 31,
     1995, the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September
     30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. On a pro forma basis, management fees paid
     to Saratoga would have been $600 and $450 for the year ended December 31,
     1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively. The
     Company has included information concerning EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
     because it is used by certain investors as a measure of a company's ability
     to service its debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not required by
     generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be
     considered alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as
     an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow
     from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure
     of liquidity. The Company's use of EBITDA may not be comparable to
     similarly titled measures due to the use by other companies of different
     financial statement components in calculating EBITDA.

(7)  Adjusted Interest Expense is defined as interest expense less the
     amortization of deferred financing costs.

(8)  For the purpose of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
     "earnings" consist of income before provision for income taxes and fixed
     charges. "Fixed charges" consist of interest expense (including
     amortization of deferred financing costs) and one third of rental expense,
     representing that portion of rental expense deemed to be representative of
     the interest factor. On an historical basis, earnings were insufficient to
     cover fixed charges by $196 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
     On a pro forma basis, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by
     $8,714 and $4,507 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and nine months
     ended September 30, 1997, respectively.

(9)  Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

(10) Excludes off-balance sheet financing pursuant to the Synthetic Lease,
     proceeds of which were applied toward repayment of debt of $31,268 in
     November 1996. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
     Condition and Results of Operations--General." 

(11) Pro forma stockholder's equity reflects the Equity Contribution. See "The
     Transactions," "Capitalization" and "Description of Capital Stock." Pro
     forma stockholder's equity is presented net of $7,831 which represents the
     non-cash accounting treatment required for management's continuing
     ownership interest, in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues
     Task Force Issue No. 88-16 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
     "FASB").

     Certain transaction fees and expenses totaling $3,833 that will be incurred
     in connection with the Acquisition are included in the excess of purchase
     cost over book value.

- ----------

     (i)  As further described in "The Transactions," management maintained a
          continuing ownership interest in the Company. Accordingly,
          stockholders' equity and the excess of purchase cost over book value
          have been reduced pursuant to the provisions of Emerging Issues Task
          Force Issue No. 88-16 of the FASB.

(D)  Reflects the deferred tax benefit related to the loss from operations.
     Based on present estimates of future operations and debt servicing related
     to the Acquisition, it is management's opinion that it is more likely than
     not that future tax benefits related to the Acquisition will not be
     realized beyond the amount of reversing taxable temporary differences,
     which continued to exceed the future tax benefits realized in the pro forma
     periods presented.

</TABLE>

- ----------

     (1)  The assumed interest rate on the Term Loan is 8.4%. A change in the
          interest rate on the Term Loan of 1% would change interest expense by
          $280 and $210 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months
          ended September 30, 1997, respectively.

     (2)  Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related
          debt, using a weighted average life of ten years for the Notes and six
          years for the Term Loan.

(J)  In January 1996, the Company refinanced its previously existing credit
     agreements with the Existing Credit Facility, which resulted in an
     extraordinary after-tax charge of $950 in the first quarter of 1996 from
     the write-off of related deferred financing costs.
