PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-
F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.
Sunbeam Corporation (the "Company") completed and filed its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999 on June 11,
1999 and filed its 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission on
May 11, 1999. The delay in filing the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999 and its 1998 Annual Report on Form
10-K resulted primarily from changes in the Company's management, changes
in the Company's auditors and the Company's restatement of its financial
statements for the 1997 fiscal year and for the fourth quarter of 1996 and
the first quarter of 1998, all of which have been previously detailed in
the Company's filings with the Commission. Both the Company's management
and its auditors allocated substantial resources to these efforts. In
addition, the Company filed with the Commission on May 13 and May 14,
respectively, amendments to the Company's pending registration statements
on Form S-1 and Form S-4.
As a result of the significant time and effort expended by the
Company's management and its outside auditors in connection with the
preparation of the filings referred to above and because the Company is
still in the process of completing the audited financial statements for its
401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan for fiscal year 1998 (which are
required to be included in the 1998 Form 11-K), the Company will not be
in a position to file timely its 1998 Form 11-K.
