        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                MARCH 31, 2000


1.   Financial Statements.  The condensed consolidated financial statements
     --------------------
included herein have been prepared by River Holding Corp. ("Holding") and Hudson
Respiratory Care, Inc. ("Hudson" or the "Company"), without audit, and include
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at March 31, 2000 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 26, 1999 and
March 31, 2000 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. Although Holding believes that the disclosures in such
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, these consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of Holding as of December 31,
1999 and with the Company's 1999 audited financial statements and the notes
thereto included in Holding's Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of
operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be achieved for a full year. Holding has no
operations apart from those conducted by its majority-owned subsidiary, Hudson
RCI.

2.   Acquisitions.  During 1999, the Company completed certain business
     ------------
acquisition, the most significant of which was Louis Gibeck AB ("LGAB").  The
Company is evaluating certain estimates made in connection with the purchase
price allocations, which may change in the near term.

     Had the acquisition of LGAB occurred at the beginning of the prior fiscal
year, the unaudited pro forma net sales and net loss for Holding would be as
follows (amounts in thousands):

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                MARCH 31, 2000


1.   Financial Statements.  The condensed consolidated financial statements
     --------------------
included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and include
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at March 31, 2000, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 26, 1999 and
March 31, 2000 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in
such financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, the accompanying unaudited condensed, consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1999 audited
financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Form 10-K filed with
the SEC. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for a full
year.

2.   Acquisitions.  During 1999, the Company completed certain business
     ------------
acquisitions, the most significant of which was the acquisition of Louis Gibeck
AB ("LGAB").  The Company is evaluating certain estimates made in connection
with the purchase price allocations, which may change in the near term.

     Had the acquisition of LGAB occurred at the beginning of the prior fiscal
year, the unaudited pro forma net sales and net income would be as follows
(amounts in thousands):

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     As River Holding Corp. ("Holding") is a holding company with no operations,
the following discussion relates to Hudson Respiratory Care Inc. (the "Company"
or "Hudson RCI").  The following discussion of the Company's consolidated
historical results of operations and financial condition should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the
notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains certain "forward-looking statements" as defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements
relating to future events and financial performance are forward-looking
statements involving risks and uncertainties that are detailed from time to time
in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

General

     The Company is a leading manufacturer and marketer of disposable medical
products utilized in the respiratory care and anesthesia segments of the
domestic and international health care markets.  The Company's principal
products include oxygen masks, humidification systems, nebulizers, cannulae and
tubing.  In the United States, the Company markets its products to a variety of
health care providers, including hospitals and alternate site service providers
such as outpatient surgery centers, long-term care facilities, physician offices
and home health care agencies.  Internationally, the Company sells its products
to distributors who market to hospitals and other health care providers.

     The Company's results of operations may fluctuate significantly from
quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including, among others,
the buying patterns of the Company's distributors, group purchasing
organizations ("GPOs") and other purchasers of the Company's products, forecasts
regarding the severity of the annual cold and flu season, announcements of new
product introductions by the Company or its competitors, changes in the
Company's pricing of its products and the prices offered by the Company's
competitors, rate of overhead absorption due to variability in production levels
and variability in the number of shipping days in a given quarter.

Recent Developments

     On November 8, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of Tyco Healthcare
Group LP ("Tyco"), including Tyco's incentive breathing exerciser and pulmonary
function monitor product lines, for a cash purchase price of approximately $23.8
million.  The Tyco acquisition was funded principally with proceeds from the
Company's $60.0 million revolving line of credit.

     On October 8, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of Medimex, a
German distribution company that had previously distributed products for both
the Company and Louis Gibeck AB ("LGAB"), for a cash purchase price of $2.2
million.  The assets were acquired through the Company's wholly-owned, non-
guarantor subsidiary, HRCDAC Inc., and was funded with cash on hand.

     On July 22, 1999, the Company, through its indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary Steamer Holding AB, a company organized under the laws of Sweden
("Steamer"), acquired a majority of the outstanding capital stock of LGAB, a
company organized under the laws of Sweden.  Pursuant to a series of private
purchases and a tender offer consummated pursuant to Swedish law, Steamer
acquired 604,000 shares of Class A stock and 2,452,838 shares of Class B stock
representing approximately 82.0% of the capital and 62.8% of the voting power of
LGAB at a price of 115 Swedish krona (approximately $13.60 at the July 22
exchange rate) per share of Class A stock and Class B stock for an aggregate
cash purchase price of approximately $45.5 million.  In addition, on August 4,
1999, Steamer acquired an additional 483,750 shares of Class A stock of LGAB
from River Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and the

                                       15
<PAGE>

parent of Steamer and the Company ("Holding"), which shares Holding acquired in
a private transaction in exchange for 525,042 shares of common stock of Holding
("Holding Common Stock"). The exchange ratio for the Class A stock was the same
as the effective price per share of the shares acquired in the tender offer.
After giving effect to this exchange and the conversion of the Series A stock
acquired by Steamer in the tender offer into Series B stock, Steamer holds
approximately 99.0% of the capital and 100.0% of the voting power of LGAB. The
Company intends that Steamer, through continuing purchases and a statutory
freezeout and appraisal procedure under Swedish law, will acquire the remaining
outstanding shares of LGAB as soon as practicable.

     The cash for the purchase price and certain related transaction costs was
funded with (i) $22.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of Holding Common
Stock to the majority stockholder of Holding, (ii) a $22.0 million loan from the
majority stockholder of Holding to Steamer's parent, HRC Holding Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) the
funding of 50 million Swedish krona (approximately $5.9 million) pursuant to the
terms of a loan facility agreement between Steamer and Svenska Handelsbanken AB.

     Founded in 1954, LGAB develops, manufactures and markets medical device
products which humidify, heat and filter a patient's breathing gases during
anesthesia and intensive care.  LGAB is a market leader in the area of "heat
moisture exchange" ("HME") products, with approximately 25% share of the world
market.  Following completion of the acquisition, the Company intends to
continue LGAB's operations in substantially the same manner as conducted prior
to the acquisition.

     In September 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of Gibeck, Inc., a
subsidiary of LGAB, for approximately $3.35 million.  Prior to the transaction,
Gibeck, Inc. was engaged primarily in the business of manufacturing, marketing
and selling disposable anesthesia supplies.  In conjunction with that
transaction, the Company became the exclusive North American distributor of
LGAB's HME product line.  In fiscal year 1997, Gibeck, Inc. reported net sales
of approximately $12.3 million.

     The Company established a sales office located in Germany in the second
quarter of 1999.  It is anticipated that this operation will better equip the
Company to more aggressively pursue the German market.  The German operation had
a negative impact on the Company's results of approximately $0.2 million in the
first quarter of 2000. It is anticipated that the Company's earnings will be
positively impacted for the remainder of fiscal 2000 and beyond.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 26, 1999

     Net sales, reported net of accrued rebates, were $40.8 million in the first
quarter of 2000 as compared to $27.2 million in the first quarter of 1999.  This
represents an increase of $13.6 million or 50.2%.  Of the increase,
approximately $5.2 million related to sales generated by the acquired LGAB, $3.8
million related to sales of the acquired Tyco product line and $0.3 million
related to the Medimex acquisition.  For the base Hudson RCI business, domestic
hospital sales increased by $1.4 million or 8.6%, due to increased demand at the
hospital level, primarily the result of increased sales through certain GPOs.
Alternate site sales increased by $1.1 million or 22.9% as the Company continued
to focus its efforts on this growing market.  International sales increased by
$1.1 million or 27.0%, as growth in sales continued to Japan and Europe.  This
growth was partially offset by weakness in South America. Canadian and OEM sales
were unchanged from the first quarter of 1999.

     The Company's gross profit for the first quarter of 2000 was $18.3 million,
an increase of $6.9 million or 60.7% over the first quarter of 1999.  As a
percentage of sales, the gross profit was 44.9% and 41.9% for the first quarter
of

                                       17
<PAGE>

2000 and 1999, respectively. This increase was primarily due to higher-margin
sales of the LGAB products offset somewhat by an unfavorable mix variance in the
base Hudson RCI product line. This mix variance is expected to continue in the
future if the preference for passive humidification products over higher margin
active humidification products continues.

     Selling expenses were $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2000, a $1.4
million increase over the first quarter of 1999.  This increase was due
primarily to $0.7 million of costs associated with LGAB and $0.5 million as a
result of the start-up of the German sales operation.  In addition, sales and
marketing expenses at Hudson RCI increased by approximately $0.2 million.  As a
percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 9.4% in the first quarter of 2000
as compared to 9.0% in the first quarter of 1999.

     Distribution expenses were $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2000, an
increase of $0.4 million or 43.9% over the first quarter of 1999.  As a
percentage of sales, distribution expenses declined to 3.6% in the first quarter
of 2000 as compared to 3.8% in the first quarter of 1999.  The decrease as a
percentage of sales is primarily the result of the decreased cost of freight
between the Company's distribution facilities.

     General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million in the first quarter
of 2000, unchanged from the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses were 8.4% in the first quarter of 2000 as
compared to 12.4% in the first quarter of 1999.

     Amortization of goodwill was $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2000, a
$0.8 million increase over the first quarter of 1999. The increase was
due to the acquisition of LGAB and the Tyco IBE product line.

     Research and development expenses were $0.6 million for the first quarter
of 2000, an increase of $0.3 million or 113.8% over the first quarter of 1999.
This increase was primarily due to the addition of LGAB research and development
expenses of $0.3 million. Research and development costs for the base Hudson RCI
business were unchanged.

     Interest expense was $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2000, as
compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase was due to
higher debt levels as a result of the LGAB and Tyco acquisitions.

     The Company provides for state and federal income taxes as a C corporation,
although actual tax payments are expected to be substantially less than provided
amounts due to the tax basis in assets provided by the Section 338(h)(10)
election made in connection with the April 1998 Recapitalization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations
and borrowings under its working capital bank facility. Cash provided by
operations totaled $3.0 million and $7.7 million in the first quarter of 1999
and 2000, respectively. The increase from the first quarter of 1999 to the first
quarter of 2000 is primarily attributable to higher income levels. The Company
had operating working capital, excluding cash and short-term debt, of $39.7
million and $36.8 million as of December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000,
respectively. Inventories were $24.0 million and $25.3 million as of December
31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, respectively. In order to meet the needs of its
customers, the Company must maintain inventories sufficient to permit same-day
or next-day filling of most orders. Such inventories are higher than those that
would be required for delayed filling of orders, thus adversely impacting
liquidity. Over time, the Company expects its level of inventories to increase
as the Company's sales in the international market increase. Accounts
receivable, net of allowances, were $30.4 million and $32.8 million at December
31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The Company offers 30 day credit
terms to its U.S. hospital distributors. Alternate site and international
customers typically receive 60 to 90 day terms and, as a result, as the
Company's alternate site and international sales have increased, the amount and
aging of its accounts receivable have increased. The Company anticipates that
the amount and aging of its accounts receivable will continue to increase. The
Company established a sales office in Germany in the second quarter of 1999.
While this will have

                                       18
<PAGE>

the effect of increasing the Company's investment in inventories, management
believes that it will also result in improved service to international customers
as well as in lower international accounts receivable than would otherwise be
the case because customers will receive products, and consequently pay for them,
more quickly.

     During the quarter ended March 26, 1999, net cash used in investing
activities was $1.4 million, reflecting purchases of manufacturing equipment.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net cash used in investing activities
was $3.7 million, primarily reflecting purchases of manufacturing equipment and
implementation of a new enterprise resource planning software program.  The
Company currently estimates that capital expenditures will be approximately $8.0
million in each of 2000 and 2001, consisting primarily of additional and
replacement manufacturing equipment and new heater placements.

     During the quarter ended March 26, 1999 and March 31, 2000, net cash used
in financing activities was $1.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively,
reflecting repayment of the Company's borrowings.

     The Company has outstanding $208.3 million of indebtedness, consisting of
$115.0 million of 9-1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Subordinated
Notes") issued in April 1998, borrowings of $69.5 million under the credit
facility (the "Credit Facility") entered into in April 1998 and $7.5 million in
notes payable to affiliates.  In addition, LGAB has $16.2 million in outstanding
borrowings under its bank facility.  The Credit Facility consists of a $40.0
million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") (all of which was funded
in connection with the Company's April 1998 Recapitalization) and a $60.0
million revolving loan facility (the "Revolving Loan Facility").  The
Subordinated Notes bear interest at the rate of 9-1/8%, payable semiannually,
and will require no principal repayments until maturity.  The Term Loan Facility
matures on April 7, 2004 and requires principal repayments of between $3.0
million and $11.5 million each year until maturity, commencing on June 30, 1999.
The Revolving Loan Facility matures on April 7, 2004 and bears interest based on
a spread over either a Eurodollar or base rate.

     In connection with the LGAB acquisition, the Company borrowed $22.0 million
pursuant to an unsecured promissory note payable to Holding's majority
stockholder. The note bears interest at 12.0% per annum, matures in August 2006,
and requires semiannual interest payments. As of March 31, 2000, $7.5 million
remained outstanding on the note.

     In connection with the LGAB acquisition, the Company assumed debt owed by
LGAB under its bank facility (the "LGAB Facility"), which was refinanced during
1999 and totaled $16.2 million as of March 31, 2000.  The LGAB Facility, which
is denominated in Swedish krona, bears interest at three-month STIBOR (the
interest rate at or about 11:00 a.m. Stockholm time, two banking days before a
draw-down date or the relevant interest period, quoted for deposits in krona)
plus 0.75% to 1.75% (4.365% to 5.365% at March 31, 2000), matures in December
2003, and is secured by the common stock of LGAB.

     In connection with the Company's April 1998 Recapitalization, the Company
issued to Holding 300,000 shares of its 11-1/2% Senior PIK Preferred Stock due
2010 with an aggregate liquidation preference of $30.0 million. Dividends are
payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 each year.
Dividends are payable in cash, except on dividend payment dates occurring on or
prior to April 15, 2003, for which the Company has the option to issue
additional shares of preferred stock (including fractional shares) having an
aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount of such dividends.  The
preferred stock ranks junior in right of payment to all obligations of the
Company and its subsidiaries.  At the election of the Company, dividends may be
paid in kind until April 15, 2003 and thereafter must be paid in cash.

     Holding is a holding company and will rely on dividends from Hudson RCI as
its primary source of liquidity. Holding does not have and in the future will
not have any assets other than the capital stock of Hudson RCI.  The ability of
Hudson RCI to pay cash dividends to Holding when required is restricted by law
and restricted or prohibited under the terms of Hudson RCI's debt instruments,
including the Credit Facility.  No assurance can be made that Hudson RCI will be
able to pay cash dividends to Holding when required on the Mirror Preferred
Stock.

                                       19

     The Company believes that after giving effect to its April 1998
Recapitalization, the 1999 acquisitions and the incurrence of indebtedness
related thereto, based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth,
its cash from operations, together with other available sources of liquidity,
including borrowings available under the Revolving Loan Facility, will be
sufficient over the next twelve months to fund anticipated capital expenditures
and acquisitions and to make required payments of principal and interest on its
debt, including payments due on the Subordinated Notes and obligations under the
Credit Facility.  The Company intends to selectively pursue strategic
acquisitions, both domestically and internationally, to expand its product line,
improve its market share positions and increase cash flows. Financing for such
acquisitions is available, subject to limitations, under the Credit Facility.
Any significant acquisition activity by the Company in excess of such amounts
would require additional capital, which could be provided through capital
contributions or debt financing.  The Company has no commitments for such
acquisition financing and to the extent financing is unavailable, acquisitions
may be delayed or not completed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by
SFAS No. 137, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments.  The statement requires that every derivative instrument be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value, and that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Management has not yet determined the impact that adoption of this standard will
have on the Company.
