               CLN Holdings on March 4, 1998. On March 30, 1998 the Merger
               was consummated. Upon consummation of the Merger, among other
               things, all shares of common stock of CLN Holdings were converted
               into 14,099,749 Shares and cash. This statement on Schedule 13G
               is being filed because Mafco Holdings and Parent Holdings may be
               deemed to beneficially own the aforementioned 14,099,749 Shares
               by virtue of the consummation of the Merger.


               Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the
               Merger, options (the "Options") to purchase 500,000 shares of
               common stock of The Coleman Company, Inc. ("Coleman"), which
               Options were granted during 1997 to Mr. Perelman under certain of
               Coleman's stock option plans, became immediately exercisable.
               Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
               February 27, 1998, among Sunbeam, Camper Acquisition Corp., a
               Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Sunbeam
               ("Camper"), and Coleman, pursuant to which Coleman will merge
               (the "Coleman Merger") with Camper and become a wholly owned
               subsidiary of Sunbeam, each share of the common stock of Coleman
               acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Options and outstanding
               as of the consummation of the Coleman Merger will be converted
               into the right to receive $6.44 in cash and .5677 Shares of
               common stock of Sunbeam. Any Options unexercised as of the
               consummation of the Coleman Merger will be canceled, and, in
               settlement therefor, the holders of such Options will be paid
               cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of
               shares of common stock of Coleman subject to such Options and
               (ii) the excess of $27.50 over the exercise price per share of
               such common stock subject to such Options, less any applicable
               withholding taxes. Sunbeam has indicated that it expects the
               Coleman Merger to be consummated during the second quarter of
               1998. This statement on Schedule 13G reflects Mr. Perelman's
               ownership of the Options to acquire 500,000 shares of common
               stock of Coleman that may be converted in the Coleman Merger into
               283,850 Shares of common stock of Sunbeam. Pursuant to Rule
               13d-4, Mafco Holdings and Parent Holdings expressly disclaim
               beneficial ownership of such 283,850 Shares and declare that the
               filing of this statement on Schedule 13G shall not be construed
               as an admission that either of them is, for purposes of Section
               13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
               amended, the beneficial owner of any of such Shares.


               (a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 14,099,749 Shares plus, in
                   the case of Mr. Perelman only, Options to purchase shares of
                   common stock of Coleman that may be converted in the Coleman
                   Merger into 283,850 Shares.

               (b) Percent of Class: Approximately 14.0% (14.3% in the case of 
                   Mr. Perelman only) based upon an aggregate of 100,811,445
                   Shares outstanding on March 30, 1998 which includes the 
                   14,099,749 Shares issued in the Merger (based on information
                   provided to the filing persons by Sunbeam).

               (c) See items 5-8 on pages 2, 3 and 4 with respect to each 
                   respective filing person.
