REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of the
Scott Technologies, Inc.
401(k) Savings Plan for Salaried Employees:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Scott Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan for Salaried
Employees (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1998, as listed in the accompanying index. These financial
statements and schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's
trustees. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Plan's trustees, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes (Exhibit 1) as of December 31, 1998 and schedule of
reportable transactions (Exhibit 2) for the year ended December 31, 1998, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SCOTT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
------------------------
401(k) SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES
------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
--------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF THE PLAN:
--------------------
The Scott Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (the
"Plan") was established on January 1, 1985, to provide retirement benefits to
employees (and their beneficiaries) hired after December 31, 1984 of certain
participating divisions and subsidiaries of Scott Technologies, Inc. (the
"Company"). The Plan was amended and restated in 1997 to allow for an increase
in employee contribution percentage, employer matching contributions and new
investment options. The Plan is a defined contribution pension plan.
The Plan provides that the Company shall have the right to amend or terminate
the Plan at any time. Upon termination of the Plan, the assets then remaining in
the Plan shall be allocated and distributed to participants in accordance with
the terms and provisions of Section 4044 of ERISA, as amended. The Plan
provides that any excess assets will be returned to the Company once all the
liabilities have been satisfied.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------------
Basis of Accounting
- -------------------
The accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits and
statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits are prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting.
Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value and net realized gains (losses) on
sale of investments for 1998 were calculated based on the fair value of the
investments at the beginning of the year or purchase price, if acquired in the
current year. These amounts were included in net investment income in the
accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.
Accounting Estimates
- --------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reportable Transactions
- -----------------------
The Department of Labor defines reportable transactions as those transactions or
series of transactions which exceed 5% of beginning net assets. All transactions
which exceed the threshold are included in Exhibit 2.
<PAGE> 8
-2-
Administration Expenses
- -----------------------
All costs and expenses of administering the plan are paid by the Plan and are
included as a reduction of investment income.
Contributions
- -------------
The Plan provides that participants may elect to defer up to 15% of their annual
compensation paid to them by the Company as a contribution. Such elected
contributions are limited in any calendar year to a maximum as shall be
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Company matches 100% of the
first 1% of each participant's elective contribution and then 50% of the next 4%
of participant contribution. In addition, the Plan provides for transfer
contributions to the Plan which constitute a rollover from another qualified
plan on behalf of an eligible employee.
Participant Directed Investments
- --------------------------------
Participants direct their contributions in 5% increments between the funds and
Company stock fund. However, a participant's investment in the Company stock
fund may not exceed, in aggregate, 25% of the participant's total contribution
percentage.
Participants may also choose one of three Lifestyle options in which allocations
are automatically selected for the participants. The conservative Lifestyle
option automatically becomes the investment choice for any plan participant who
does not submit an enrollment form which includes a valid investment direction.
The Plan offers a telephone voice response system which allows participants to
change allocations and contribution percentages on a daily basis.
A portion of the Plan's assets, including Scott Technologies, Inc. stock and the
Lifestyle funds, are invested in master trusts which hold the respective
investments. The Plan's assets are commingled with the assets of other Company
401(k) plans.
Net Investment Income
- ---------------------
Net investment income includes dividend and interest income earned during the
year, unrealized gains and loses, as well as net gains and losses realized on
dispositions of investments.
Vesting Requirements
- --------------------
Participant contributions and transfer contributions are fully vested when
deposited into the Plan. Employer matching contributions vest to participants
according to the following:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Years of Vesting
Service Percentage
------- ----------
<S> <C>
Less than 1 0%
1 20%
2 40%
3 60%
4 80%
5 100%
</TABLE>
<PAGE> 9
-3-
Employer discretionary contributions are fully vested at five years of service.
For vesting purposes, the Plan provides that an employee shall be credited with
one year of service for each plan year during which they have met the criteria
of continuous service, as defined in the Plan document.
Distributions and Forfeitures
- -----------------------------
Upon termination from the Plan, a participant, or in the case of death, a
participant's beneficiary will be entitled to receive the vested portion of the
participant's account as a single lump-sum payment. For participants who are
terminated, the nonvested account balance is forfeited, and the forfeitures are
used to offset plan expenses and the employer matching contribution. If a
participant retires, becomes disabled or dies while still employed, the entire
balance in his or her account will be fully vested.
The Plan also allows for hardship withdrawals. Under certain hardship
circumstances, as defined in the Plan document, a participant may withdraw up to
100% of the participant's before tax contributions.
Retirement
- ----------
The Plan provides that the accrued benefit of a participant is nonforfeitable if
such participant is employed by the Company on or after the normal retirement
date. Each participant who ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason,
other than death, on or after the normal retirement date shall be entitled to
receive a normal retirement benefit. The normal retirement benefit is equal to
the participant's accrued benefit as of the date of the distribution.
Participant Loans
- -----------------
The Plan allows participants to take loans from their account balance. A
participant can borrow up to the lesser of 50% of their vested account balance
or $50,000. The minimum loan requested amount is $1,000. Participants can have
one outstanding loan at a time and loans can be requested for any reason. The
interest rate is prime rate plus one percentage point.
3. DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS:
------------------------------
Distributions due to participants who have reached retirement age, withdrawn, or
otherwise separated from the Plan amounted to $352,019 and $0 at December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively.
4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
---------------------
In the opinion of the Plan's Administrator, the Plan, as amended and restated,
qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is, therefore,
not subject to tax under present federal income tax laws. Accordingly, income
taxes have not been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. A
favorable determination as to the Plan's tax-exempt status has not yet been
received for the amended and restated Plan.
<PAGE> 10

5. PLAN ASSET TRANSFER:
--------------------
Effective December 31, 1997, certain assets of the Figgie International, Inc.
Stock Ownership Trust and Plan (ESOP A) were transferred into the Plan. Benefits
related to these participants continued to be paid from the ESOP A until
December 31, 1997, at which time the assets were transferred from their related
trust into the Plan's trust. At December 31, 1997, a receivable existed for
$2,504,576 for some investments held by the ESOP that transferred into the Plan
during 1998.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
-----------------
Subsequent to December 31, 1998, all plan assets were transferred from the
Wilmington Trust Co. to The Chicago Trust Co. Accordingly, at December 31,
1998, many of the fund accounts held cash, as the investments were disposed of
on December 30, 1998, to facilitate the transfer of assets to the new trustee.
