                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Water Pik Technologies, Inc. ("Water Pik Technologies" or the "Company") became
an independent public company on November 29, 1999 when Allegheny Teledyne
Incorporated, now known as Allegheny Technologies Incorporated ("ATI"),
distributed all of the common stock of Water Pik Technologies to the
stockholders of ATI in a tax-free transaction (the "spin-off"). Stockholders of
ATI received one share of Company common stock for every 20 shares of ATI stock.
Following the spin-off, ATI held no equity interest in the Company.

The financial statements included in this report contain the historical accounts
and operations of the former ATI businesses that now comprise the Company. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Operating results for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2000.

The 8 percent promissory note is due to Les Agencies Claude Marchand, Inc.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, one officer exercised rights under
the Company's Stock Acquisition and Retention Program (SARP) to acquire 24,947
shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$185,000, based on the average quoted market price for the shares for the ten
days preceding the date of purchase. Payment of the shares was in the form of a
note receivable by the Company which bears interest at 6.29 percent per annum
and is payable in level monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on
the fifth anniversary of the note and continuing thereafter for the remaining
term of the note. Further pursuant to the SARP, the Company awarded one share of
restricted common stock at no cost to the officer for every two shares purchased
under the SARP, for a total of 12,473 shares. The restrictions on these shares
lapse five years from the issuance date. The market value of the restricted
shares, based on the average market price for the ten days preceding the
issuance, was $92,000 and is being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis
over the period of restriction. The unamortized prepaid compensation expense is
recorded as a reduction in stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance
sheets.

The aggregate amount of notes receivable from officers related to the purchase
of shares under the SARP was $2,655,000 and $2,470,000 as of March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively, and is classified as a reduction in
stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheets. Interest receivable on
the notes of $53,000 and $13,000 at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively, is recorded as a reduction in stockholders' equity.

Unamortized prepaid compensation expense related to restricted shares issued
under the SARP, including amounts related to shares converted from the Allegheny
Teledyne Stock Acquisition and Retention Program as of the spin-off date, was
$1,354,000 and $1,341,000 at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively,
and is classified as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

                                        =====           =======

6. LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

A number of lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted
against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including those
pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment and
employee benefits. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with
certainty and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined
adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of
any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any
reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations for that period.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Prior to the spin-off, the Company participated in ATI's centralized cash
management system. Cash receipts in excess of cash requirements were transferred
to ATI. Those transactions with ATI were non-interest bearing.

Pursuant to the Employee Benefits Agreement between the Company and ATI, the
Company's employees continued to participate in the pension plans of ATI
subsequent to the spin-off through March 31, 2000. In accordance with the
Interim Services Agreement between the Company and ATI, ATI has also continued
to provide the Company with transitional administrative and support services
subsequent to the spin-off. Amounts expensed by the Company for employee pension
costs and administrative services provided by ATI during the three months ended
March 31, 2000 were $392,000.

Included in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999
are amounts allocated from ATI of $801,000, $987,000, $372,000, and $487,000 for
income taxes, insurance, pensions and corporate general and administrative
expenses, respectively. Corporate general and administrative expenses represent
allocations for expenses incurred by ATI on the Company's behalf including costs
for finance, legal, tax and human resource functions. These amounts were
allocated within ATI based on the net sales of the respective operations of its
subsidiaries and divisions. The Company also participated in casualty, medical
and life insurance programs sponsored by ATI. In the opinion of management, the
allocations of these expenses were reasonable.


Amounts payable to ATI at March 31, 2000, which also include amounts for
invoices paid by ATI on behalf of the Company, were $1,197,000. Amounts payable
to ATI at December 31, 1999 were $1,005,000.

</TABLE>

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $65,169,000, representing
an increase of 21.6 percent over the comparable period in 1999 due to increased
sales of pool products and heating systems. Sales related to Olympic, acquired
in August 1999, accounted for $5,508,000 of the sales increase. Gross profit
(sales less cost of sales) as a percentage of sales for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 decreased to 34.3 percent compared with 38.3 percent for the
three months ended March 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily due to a shift in
product sales mix to lower margin pool products and heating systems, including
sales of Olympic pool products with lower gross margins, to increased insurance
costs as an independent company subsequent to the spin-off, to initial lower
gross margins on recently introduced products, and to lower prices for certain
personal health care products in response to increased competitive pressures.

Operating profit (gross profit less selling expenses and general and
administrative expenses) as a percentage of sales decreased to 2.9 percent for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 4.1 percent for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 primarily due to the decrease in the gross profit
percentage which was partially offset by improvements in selling expenses and
general and administrative expenses as percentages of sales.

Selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 18.6 percent in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 20.4 percent in the same period of 1999. The
favorable trend in selling expenses resulted from leveraging fixed costs over a
higher sales base. Selling expenses increased $1,150,000 to $12,096,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 from $10,946,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The increase relates primarily to increased advertising and
promotional costs related to new product introductions.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 decreased to 12.8 percent as compared to 13.7
percent in the three months ended March 31, 1999. This decrease is due to a
lower cost structure established during 1999 and to a special item of $550,000
of bad debt expense in the three months ended March 31, 1999. These improvements
in the three months ended March 31, 2000 were partially offset by additional
expenses resulting from Olympic, acquired in August 1999, and to increased
corporate expenses resulting from operating as an independent company subsequent
to the spin-off from ATI. General and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 include a corporate allocation from the former
parent company whereas general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 include the actual corporate expenses incurred as an
independent company.

Interest expense relates to borrowings under the Company's credit facilities and
to the promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition of Olympic and
was $1,001,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The Company had no
interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 1999 since the capital for
the Company's operations was provided by ATI's net investment in the Company
with no debt allocated to the Company.

</TABLE>

Sales in our Personal Health Care segment for the three months ended March 31,
2000 were relatively constant as compared with the same period in 1999. Strong
showerhead sales, including sales of the new Misting Massage (TM) Showerhead,
and strong oral health sales, including initial shipments of the new Water Pik
(TM) Flosser, during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were offset by lower
sales of water treatment products.

Operating profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.5 percent for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from 4.1 percent for the three months ended March
31, 1999. This decrease is due to a decrease in the gross profit percentage
resulting from increased insurance costs as an independent company subsequent to
the spin-off, initial lower gross margins on recently introduced products, and
lower prices for certain personal health care products in response to increased
competitive pressure. This was partially offset by a decrease in general and
administrative expenses, including research and development expenses, resulting
from the lower cost structure established during 1999 and to a special item of
$550,000 associated with bad debts in the three months ended March 31, 1999.

</TABLE>

Sales in our Pool Products and Heating Systems segment, excluding sales of
Olympic which was acquired in August 1999, increased $6,349,000 or 25.3 percent
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared with the same period in
1999. Sales increased throughout all pool products and heating systems
categories with significant increases in pool heaters, controls and the
Endurance(TM) boiler. Olympic generated revenues of $5,508,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 2000.

Operating profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 2.3 percent for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from 4.1 percent in the same period of 1999. This
decrease is due to a decrease in the gross profit percentage, primarily as a
result of the acquisition of Olympic which has lower gross margins, which were
partially offset by savings from the consolidation of two manufacturing
facilities in October 1999. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales improved
in the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared with the same period in
1999 as a result of leveraging fixed costs over a higher sales base. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased over the same period
due to an increase in corporate expenses resulting from operating as an
independent company subsequent to the spin-off.

SEASONALITY

The Company's business is highly seasonal, with operating results varying from
quarter to quarter. The Personal Health Care segment has historically
experienced higher sales in the fourth quarter of each year due to the holiday
season. The Pool Products and Heating Systems segment has historically
experienced higher sales in the second and fourth quarters of each year as
customers purchase such products in preparation for the cooler weather and in
anticipation of the warm spring and summer months. In addition, as a result of
the seasonality of sales, the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment offers
extended payment terms which permit customers to purchase pool products during
the winter months, with no required payments until spring.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs and capital
expenditures and to meet required debt payments. We anticipate that our
operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under our credit
facilities described below, will be sufficient to meet our working capital
requirements, capital expenditure requirements and interest service requirements
on our debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, all of our
planned product line extensions, new product development plans, capital
expenditure programs and possible acquisitions cannot be achieved without
additional capital. We are required to raise additional capital through a public
offering of our common stock as required under the terms of our tax-free
spin-off from ATI. Depending upon market conditions, the Company may also choose
to issue additional stock or debt.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $307,000 from $1,514,000 at
December 31, 1999 to $1,821,000 at March 31, 2000. Cash used in operating
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $13,471,000, resulting
from increases in accounts receivable and inventories and, to a lesser extent,
decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in accounts
receivable relates primarily to the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment
which experienced strong sales in the fourth quarter of 1999 and in the first
quarter of 2000 and offered extended payment terms which permit customers to
purchase pool products during the winter months with no required payments until
spring. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable
at the Personal Health Care segment due to seasonally lower first quarter sales.
The increase in inventory relates to the Pool Products and Heating Systems
segment and is in anticipation of strong second quarter sales. Cash used in
investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,108,000
and was used for capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities of
$14,858,000 relates to increased borrowings under the Company's lines of credit
which were used to fund operating and investing activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 1999, cash used in operating activities of
$4,873,000 and cash used in investing activities of $530,000 were funded by net
advances from ATI of $5,403,000.

Our working capital increased to $58,462,000 at March 31, 2000 from $41,272,000
at December 31, 1999. The current ratio increased to 2.2 at March 31, 2000 from
1.7 at December 31, 1999. The increase in working capital at March 31, 2000 was
primarily due to higher accounts receivable and inventory balances as well as
lower accounts payable and accrued liability balances.

The Company has a $60,000,000 revolving bank credit facility that expires in
November 2004. Borrowings under the facility are limited to borrowing base
calculations based upon eligible account receivable, inventory, real property
and machinery and equipment balances. Amounts outstanding under the credit
facility bear interest at either the bank's prime rate plus 0.25 percent to 0.50
percent or, if the Company exercises a LIBOR option, at the LIBOR rate plus 125
to 225 basis points per annum (7.9 to 9.8 percent at March 31, 2000). Interest
on the revolving credit loan is payable monthly. The credit facility also
provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to the borrowing base less the
outstanding line of credit, not to exceed $5,000,000. At March 31, 2000, the
Company had $13,892,000 of borrowing availability remaining under borrowing base
limitations of the credit facility.

The Company`s Canadian subsidiary has a CDN. $11,000,000 revolving bank line of
credit facility, increasing by CDN. $1,000,000 for certain months of the year, a
forward exchange contract facility of up to CDN. $2,000,000 and a letter of
credit facility of up to CDN. $500,000. Borrowings under the credit facility
bear interest at either the bank's prevailing annual Canadian or U.S. prime rate
plus 0.50 percent (7.0 percent at March 31, 2000). At March 31, 2000, the
Company had CDN. $4,492,000 of borrowing availability remaining under the credit
facility.

These credit facilities require the Company to comply with various financial
covenants and restrictions, including covenants and restrictions relating to
indebtedness, liens, investments, dividend payments, consolidated net worth,
interest coverage and the relationship of our total consolidated indebtedness to
our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. A security
interest in substantially all of the Company's assets was granted the lenders
under the credit agreements as collateral.

We currently anticipate that no cash dividends will be paid on Water Pik
Technologies common stock in order to conserve cash for use in our business,
including possible future acquisitions. In addition, the terms of our credit
facilities prohibit us from paying dividends. Our Board of Directors will
periodically re-evaluate our dividend policy taking into account operating
results, capital needs, the terms of our credit facilities and other factors.

Prior to November 29, 1999, the Company participated in the general liability,
product liability and workers' compensation insurance programs sponsored by ATI.
The Company has since entered into general liability, product liability and
workers' compensation insurance programs of its own. Insurance coverage under
these programs is subject to policy deductibles for which we are at risk for
losses. In connection with the spin-off, we have agreed to indemnify ATI for
losses attributable to our operations prior to the spin-off. Reserves have been
established based upon existing and estimated claims and historical experience
in settling such matters. The actual settlements of claims under these insurance
programs may differ from estimated reserves, but the possible range of loss in
excess of those accrued is not reasonably estimable. Based upon currently
available information, management does not believe that settlement of insurance
claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or
liquidity.

In connection with the spin-off, ATI received a tax ruling from the IRS stating
that the spin-off would be tax-free to ATI and to ATI's stockholders. The
continuing validity of the Internal Revenue Service tax ruling is subject to
certain factual representations and assumptions, including the completion of a
required public offering of the Company's common stock within one year following
the spin-off and use of the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately
$50,000,000 (less associated costs) for further development of high quality,
lower cost manufacturing capabilities, for product line extensions, to expand
channels of distribution, to develop a self-sustaining product development
process, and for acquisitions and/or joint ventures. Pursuant to the Separation
and Distribution Agreement that Water Pik Technologies signed prior to the
spin-off, the Company agreed with ATI to undertake such a public offering.

The Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement between ATI and Water Pik
Technologies provides that we will indemnify ATI and its agents and
representatives for taxes imposed on, and other amounts paid by, them or ATI's
stockholders if the Company takes actions or fails to take actions (such as
completing the public offering) that result in the spin-off not qualifying as a
tax-free distribution. If any of the taxes or other amounts were to become
payable by the Company, the payment could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

OTHER MATTERS

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

The Company, in the transition to the year 2000, experienced no significant
disruptions in mission critical information technology and non-information
