Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 29, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 29, 2000.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.
As a result of the acquisition of the Company, effective April 23, 1999, and new
basis of accounting, the Company's financial statements for the period
subsequent to the acquisition are not comparable to the Predecessor's financial
statements for the period prior to the acquisition.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company changed its calendar year ending on
December 31 to a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December
31. The change in fiscal year did not have a material effect on financial
position, results of operations or cash flows for the nine months ended
September 29, 2000.

for the Company to make a $10.0 million advance to its parent company, RSA
Holdings Corporation, for the partial prepayment of its outstanding note
payable. In May 2000, the Company borrowed $10.0 million under its revolving
credit facility and advanced the $10.0 million to RSA Holdings Corporation to
prepay a portion of its outstanding note payable.
At September 29, 2000, the Company had approximately $11.4 million available for
future borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

NOTE F - CONTINGENCIES
Cotton Matter:
During 1998, the Company purchased bleached cotton from an outside supplier for
use in its pharmaceutical coil business. The Company converted this cotton from
incoming bales into a coil, which was shipped to its pharmaceutical customers to
be used as filler in bottles of oral dosage forms of pharmaceutical products to
prevent breakage. During the period from March through November of 1998, the
process by which the Company's supplier bleached this cotton was changed by
introducing an expanded hydrogen peroxide treatment. Subsequent testing
indicated varying levels of residual hydrogen peroxide in the cotton processed
during this time period and the supplier in November 1998 reduced the levels of
residual hydrogen peroxide in its bleaching process. The Company, to date, has
received complaints from a number of customers alleging defects in the cotton
supplied them during the period and asserting these defects may have led to
changes in their products pharmaceutical appearance, and with respect to a
limited number of products, potency. No lawsuits have been filed by any of these
customers. The Company has received written notice of claims for damages in the
aggregate amount of approximately $117.0 million. In addition, $113.0 million of
this amount is for alleged lost profits from two customers, which lost profits
have not been substantiated. It is possible that additional damage claims might
be forthcoming. On March 2, 1999, at the request of the Food and Drug
Administration, the Company notified all (numbering approximately 85) of its
pharmaceutical cotton coil customers that it was withdrawing from the market
those lots of cotton coil which may contain elevated levels of hydrogen
peroxide.
The Company has notified its supplier that, in the Company's view, the supplier
is primarily responsible for damages, if any, that may arise out of this matter.
At this time, the Company's supplier has agreed to be responsible for the cost
of fiber, bleaching and freight of returned product, but has not agreed to be
responsible for any other damages and has expressed an intention to assert
defenses to the Company's claims. The Company's insurance carriers have been
timely notified of the existence of the claim and have agreed to provide defense
in a reservation of rights letter, but are continuing to evaluate whether
coverage would apply to all aspects of the claims. The Company is advised by
outside counsel that it has strong legal arguments that the aggregate amount of
insurance available for these claims would be sufficient to cover the magnitude
of the claims currently expressed.
The Company also has been advised by its outside counsel that it has a number of
valid defenses to potential customer claims as well as a third party claim
against its suppliers for damages, if any, incurred by the Company. However,
management cannot at this time make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range
of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome relating to this overall
issue, and accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's exposure
from this matter might not potentially exceed the combination of its insurance
coverages and recourse to its suppliers. It is therefore possible that the
Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or
annual period or its financial position could be significantly or adversely
affected by an ultimate unfavorable outcome of this matter.
Other Matter:
In June 1999, the Company received notice of the filing of a lawsuit by The
Gillette Company ("Gillette") asserting claims for damages and injunctive relief
for alleged patent infringement, misappropriation of trade dress, false
advertising and breach of contract in connection with the marketing of the
Company's two-bladed and three-bladed shaving cartridge systems (the MBC(TM)
introduced in 1994 and the Tri-Flexxx(TM) introduced in 1999). In August 1999,
the Company filed an answer and counterclaims in which it denied Gillette's
allegations, sought a declaration that Gillette's patents are not infringed, are
invalid and unenforceable, and asserted counterclaims against Gillette for
damages and injunctive relief for, among other things, alleged antitrust
violations and false advertising. Gillette's time to respond to the Company's
answer and counterclaims has been postponed pending ongoing settlement
discussions. The Company believes that Gillette's claims are without merit and
intends to defend against them vigorously, as well as to vigorously pursue the
Company's counterclaims against Gillette. The Company does not believe it has
any material liability with respect to Gillette's claims described above.
However, management and counsel at this time are unable to make a meaningful
estimate of the amount or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable
outcome relating to this matter. The Company will reassess this matter as new
facts become available.

NOTE G - ADOPTION OF STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
In June 2000, RSA Holdings Corporation, the Company's parent, adopted a stock
incentive plan, whereby stock options may be granted to directors, officers and
other key employees of RSA Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries to purchase
a specified number of shares of common stock for a term not to exceed 10 years.
The plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 110,000 shares
of common stock of RSA Holdings Corporation. Grants of options to be issued to
directors, officers and other key employees vest and become exercisable upon the
attainment of certain performance goals at the end of certain performance
periods, as defined in the plan or after nine years.
At September 29, 2000, there were 95,500 stock options outstanding under the RSA
Holdings Corporation stock plan.
In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," the Company has accounted for the provisions of the RSA Holdings
Corporation stock plan in its consolidated financial statements. Accordingly,
because the exercise price of the stock options equaled the fair market value of
the underlying stock on the measurement date, no compensation expense was
recognized.
NOTE H - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 establishes standards
for accounting and disclosure of derivative instruments. This new standard, as
amended by FAS 137 and FAS 138, is effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is required to adopt FAS 133 on
December 30, 2000. The implementation of this new standard is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Interpretation
clarifies guidance for certain issues that arose in the application of APB
Opinion No. 25. The Company adopted the Interpretation on July 1, 2000, which
did not have any effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB No.
101 provides additional guidance relating to revenue recognition. The Company is
required to adopt SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A and SAB No. 101B, in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and is currently assessing the impact, if any, that
SAB No. 101 may have on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF No. 00-14,
"Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives". EITF No. 00-14 addresses the
recognition, measurement, and income statement classification of various sales
incentives including discounts, coupons, rebates, and free products or services.
The Company is required to adopt EITF No. 00-14 in the fourth quarter of 2000.
The Company has determined that the adoption of EITF No. 00-14 will have no
effect on its financial position or previously reported results of operations
and is in the process of determining the potential effect on its statement of
operations presentation and upon adoption, previously issued financial
statements may need to be revised to conform to the new presentation.
NOTE I - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved an early
retirement program which covers certain hourly employees at the Verona, Virginia
plant. Employees' eligibility for the early retirement program is based on age
and years of service. Participants will be provided enhanced retirement benefits
including additional years of credited service, a social security bridge and
postretirement benefits.
The early retirement program was offered to eligible employees on November 1,
2000 and the offer is expected to expire on December 15, 2000. The termination
benefits and related curtailment gain and loss related to the early retirement
program will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000.

NOTE J - SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company's $69.3 million of 9 7/8% Series B Senior Notes due 2005 have been
guaranteed, on a joint and several basis by certain domestic subsidiaries of the
Company, which guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each guarantor and
will rank pari passu in right of payment with all other indebtedness of each
guarantor.
The following condensed consolidating financial information presents condensed
consolidating financial statements as of September 29, 2000 and December 31,
1999 (the Company), for the nine months ended September 29, 2000 (the Company),
for the period from April 24, 1999 to September 30, 1999 (the Company), and for
the period from January 1, 1999 to April 23, 1999 (Predecessor) of American
Safety Razor Company - the parent company, the guarantor subsidiaries (on a
combined basis), the non-guarantor subsidiaries (on a combined basis), and
elimination entries necessary to combine such entities on a consolidated basis.
Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the guarantor
subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such
information would not be material to the holders of the 9 7/8% Series B Senior
Notes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in this Report
and the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999. Additionally, management has prepared pro forma results of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to enable a meaningful comparison
between 2000 and 1999 results of operations. Accordingly, see "Nine Months Ended
September 29, 2000 Compared to Pro Forma Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999"
discussions below, which compare the nine months ended September 29, 2000 to the
pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999 assuming the acquisition and
related financing transactions had occurred on January 1, 1999, for a more
meaningful comparison of operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations and other sections of this Report contain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend for the
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding the
Company's expected financial position, business and financing plans are
forward-looking statements. Such forward- looking statements are identified by
use of forward-looking words such as "anticipates," "believes," "plans,"
"estimates," "expects," and "intends" or words or phrases of similar expression.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to, changes in political and economic
conditions, demand for the Company's products, acceptance of new products,
technology developments affecting the Company's products and to those discussed
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by
the forward-looking statements.
Three Months Ended September 29, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1999
Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended September 29, 2000, and for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, were $83.4 million and $86.1 million,
respectively, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 3.1%.
Razors and Blades. Net sales of our razors and blades segment for the three
months ended September 29, 2000, and for the three months ended September 30,
1999, were $55.1 million and $54.7 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4
million or 0.7%.
Net sales of shaving razors and blades for the three months ended September 29,
2000, and for the three months ended September 30, 1999, were $37.3 million and
$37.4 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.3%. Net sales of
domestic value branded shaving products decreased 7.0% primarily reflecting a
decline in promotional programs and inventory reductions by a key customer. Net
sales of domestic private label shaving products decreased 3.1% primarily
reflecting a decline in promotional programs by several customers which was
somewhat offset by sales gains relating to the Tri-Flexxx and Premier Comfort
shaving products. Net sales of shaving products in international markets
increased 7.9% (net of a 7% negative impact of unfavorable exchange rates)
reflecting stronger sales in most of the Company's markets.
Net sales of blades and bladed hand tools for the three months ended September
29, 2000, and for the three months ended September 30, 1999, were $13.5 million
and $13.1 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, or 2.9%. The
growth primarily reflects increased sales of the Company's branded products as a
result of recent distribution gains.
Net sales of specialty industrial and medical blades for the three months ended
September 29, 2000, and for the three
-20-
<PAGE>
months ended September 30, 1999, were $4.3 million and $4.2 million,
respectively, an increase of $0.1 million or 2.2%. Sales of specialty industrial
products increased 12.7% reflecting strong distribution gains. Sales of medical
products decreased 6.3% primarily reflecting inventory reductions by certain
customers and consolidations within the healthcare industry.
Cotton and Foot Care. Net sales of cotton and foot care products for the three
months ended September 29, 2000, and for the three months ended September 30,
1999, were $21.2 million and $23.5 million, respectively, a decrease of $2.3
million or 9.6%. The decrease results primarily from a decrease in promotional
programs and inventory reductions by a key customer and reduced sales volume
resulting from issues related to the cotton coil matter (see Note F to the
condensed consolidated financial statements).
Custom Bar Soap. Net sales of the Company's custom bar soap products for the
three months ended September 29, 2000, and for the three months ended September
30, 1999, were $7.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.8
million or 9.8%. The decrease results primarily from decreased sales volume to
several pharmaceutical/skin care customers which was somewhat offset by
increased sales volume to one of the Company's specialty customers.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $1.9 million to $29.3 million during the
three months ended September 29, 2000, from $31.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 due to lower sales volume. As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit was 35.1% for the three months ended September 29, 2000, and
36.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Blade margins declined due
primarily to product mix, higher material costs, higher depreciation expense
related to capacity expansion projects and from the negative impact of
unfavorable exchange rates, primarily the Euro. Cotton margins declined due
primarily to product mix and higher manufacturing overheads. Soap margins
declined due primarily to product mix.
Operating and Other Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
23.1% of net sales for the three months ended September 29, 2000, compared to
24.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease primarily
reflects a decrease in promotional spending for our shaving blade and cotton
products and an increase in pension income which was somewhat offset by an
increase in administrative overhead associated with the new corporate
headquarters. Amortization of intangible assets was substantially unchanged at
$1.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2000, and $1.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999. Interest expense decreased $1.3
million to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2000, from $6.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, due primarily to the
write-off in July 1999 of $2.2 million of deferred financing costs in connection
with the $52.5 million reduction in the Company's term loan facility. The
decrease was somewhat offset by increased interest expense resulting from
additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and an
increase in interest rates.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 50.1% for the three months ended
September 29, 2000, versus 40.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
and varies from the United States statutory rate due primarily to nondeductible
goodwill amortization and state income taxes, net of the federal tax benefit.
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1999
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
has been prepared by management from the historical financial statements of the
Predecessor for the period from January 1, 1999 to April 23, 1999, and the
historical financial statements of the Company for the period from April 24,
1999 to September 30, 1999. The acquisition, and the related financing
transactions, are assumed to have occurred on January 1, 1999. The pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that would have occurred for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, had the
acquisition and relating financing transactions occurred on January 1, 1999. In
preparation of the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations,
management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes thereto
of the Company which are included in this Form 10-Q and in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

(a) Adjustment to provide pro forma depreciation expense resulting from the
application of purchase accounting adjustments computed based on the
remaining useful lives of plant and equipment.
(b) Adjustment to reflect the impact on cost of sales of additional inventory
costs resulting from adjusting the carrying value of acquired inventories to
reflect their estimated fair market value assuming the acquisition occurred
on January 1, 1999.
(c) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of amortization of unrecognized prior
service cost and unrecognized gains related to the Predecessor's pension and
postretirement benefit plans.
(d) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of $705 of amortization related to
historical goodwill and record pro forma amortization of $1,343 related to
intangible assets including goodwill, trademarks and patents recorded in
connection with the acquisition. Goodwill and trademarks are being amortized
over a 40-year useful life and patents are being amortized over a 15-year
useful life. These periods are believed by management to be reasonable based
on the expected lives of the underlying processes, products, and equipment
assumed to be acquired.
(e) Adjustment to reflect (i) the elimination of historical interest expense of
$494 related to the Predecessor's credit facilities, loan commitment fees,
and the amortization of deferred financing costs, (ii) pro forma
amortization of $353 for the $8,001 in deferred financing costs incurred in
connection with the financing, amortized over the respective lives of the
Company's credit facilities, and (iii) pro forma interest expense of $2,171
on the Company's credit facilities related to the balances assumed to be
outstanding on January 1, 1999. Interest expense has been computed assuming
that the LIBOR-based interest rate (plus the applicable margin) option is
selected by the Company. Balances assumed to be outstanding on January 1,
1999, include $5,000 under the revolving credit facility and $88,000 under
the Term Loan Facility. In addition, the purchase of $30,700 in Senior Notes
-22-
<PAGE>
on June 10, 1999, was assumed to occur on January 1, 1999.
(f) Adjustment to reflect the income tax consequences of the pro forma
adjustments computed at the statutory rate of 39.7% excluding the net
adjustment for goodwill of $451 which is not tax deductible.
(g) Adjustment to reflect pro forma interest expense of $261 on the Company's
credit facilities related to the balances assumed to be outstanding on April
24, 1999. Interest expense has been computed assuming that the LIBOR-based
interest rate (plus the applicable margin) option is selected by the
Company. Balances assumed to be outstanding on April 24, 1999, are the same
as described in (e) above. Adjustment to reflect pro forma interest expense
reduction of $399 related to the $30,700,000 in Senior Notes which were
assumed to be purchased on April 24, 1999.
Nine Months Ended September 29, 2000 Compared to Pro Forma Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1999
Net Sales. Net sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2000, and for the
pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999, were $240.6 million and $233.6
million, respectively, an increase of $7.0 million, or 3.0%.
Razors and Blades. Net sales of our razors and blades segment for the nine
months ended September 29, 2000, and for the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999, were $158.4 million and $150.2 million, respectively, an
increase of $8.2 million, or 5.4%.
Net sales of shaving razors and blades for the nine months ended September 29,
2000, and for the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999, were $107.0
million and $99.3 million, respectively, an increase of $7.7 million, or 7.7%.
Net sales of domestic value branded shaving products decreased 5.4% primarily
reflecting a decline in promotional programs and inventory reductions by a key
customer. In addition, net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
were favorably affected by sales of the Revlon Perfect Finish(TM) shaving system
which was discontinued in September 1999. Net sales of domestic private label
shaving products increased 6.3% primarily reflecting sales gains relating to the
Tri-Flexxx and Premier Comfort shaving products which was somewhat offset by a
decline in promotional programs by several customers. Net sales of shaving
products in international markets increased 20.5% (net of a 6% negative impact
of unfavorable exchange rates) reflecting stronger sales in most of the
Company's markets.
Net sales of blades and bladed hand tools for the nine months ended September
29, 2000, and for the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999, were $39.0
million and $38.9 million, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.3%.
Net sales of specialty industrial and medical blades for the nine months ended
September 29, 2000, and for the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999,
were $12.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million,
or 2.9%. Sales of specialty industrial products increased 10.3% reflecting
strong distribution gains. Sales of medical products decreased 3.1% primarily
reflecting inventory reductions by certain customers and consolidations within
the healthcare industry.
Cotton and Foot Care. Net sales of cotton and foot care products for the nine
months ended September 29, 2000, and for the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999, were $60.9 million and $62.6 million, respectively, a
decrease of $1.7 million or 2.7%. The decrease results primarily from reduced
sales volume resulting from issues related to the cotton coil matter (see Note F
to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
Custom Bar Soap. Net sales of the Company's custom bar soap products for the
nine months ended September 29, 2000, and for the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999, were $21.3 million and $20.8 million, respectively, an
increase of $0.5 million or 2.4%. The increase results primarily from increased
sales volume to one of the Company's specialty customers which was somewhat
offset by decreased sales volume to several pharmaceutical/skin care customers.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $8.7 million to $81.2 million for the nine
months ended September 29, 2000, from $72.5 million for the pro forma nine
months ended September 30, 1999 due primarily to the purchase accounting
adjustment to inventory of $9.0 million for the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999, and
-23-
<PAGE>
to higher sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 33.8% for
the nine months ended September 29, 2000, and 31.0% for the pro forma nine
months ended September 30, 1999. Excluding the 1999 purchase accounting
adjustment to inventory of $9.0 million, gross profit decreased $0.3 million to
$81.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2000, from $81.5 million
for the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999, and as a percentage of
net sales, gross profit was 33.8% for the nine months ended September 29, 2000,
and 34.9% for the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999. Blade margins
declined due primarily to product mix, higher material costs, higher
depreciation expense related to capacity expansion projects and from the
negative impact of unfavorable exchange rates, primarily the Euro. Cotton
margins declined due primarily to product mix and higher manufacturing
overheads. Soap margins declined due primarily to product mix.
Operating and Other Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
23.4% of net sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2000, compared to
23.9% for the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease
primarily reflects a decrease in promotional spending for our shaving blade
products and an increase in pension income which was somewhat offset by an
increase in legal fees arising from the Gillette lawsuit and an increase in
marketing and administrative overhead associated with the new management team
and the new corporate headquarters. Amortization of intangible assets was
substantially unchanged at $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 29,
2000, and $3.7 million for the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Interest expense decreased $1.6 million to $14.7 million for the nine months
ended September 29, 2000, from $16.3 million for the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999, due primarily to the write-off in July 1999 of $2.2 million
of deferred financing costs and lower commitment fee expense in connection with
the $52.5 million permanent reduction in the Company's term loan facility. The
decrease was somewhat offset by increased interest expense resulting from
additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and an
increase in interest rates.
In connection with the 1999 acquisition the Predecessor incurred approximately
$11.4 million in transaction expenses related primarily to (i) amounts paid to
redeem all of the outstanding options to purchase common stock of the
Predecessor, (ii) costs incurred by or on behalf of the Predecessor in
connection with the acquisition, including legal and other advisory fees, and
(iii) costs incurred by or on behalf of the Predecessor related to payments made
to certain employees of the Predecessor in connection with the change of
control.
Costs of $0.7 million (net of tax benefit) associated with the 1999 purchase of
the Senior Notes and repayment of the terminated credit facility are reflected
in the consolidated statement of operations as an extraordinary item.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 48.6% for the nine months ended
September 29, 2000, and (17.5)% for the pro forma nine months ended September
30, 1999, and varies from the United States statutory rate due primarily to
nondeductible goodwill amortization, certain non deductible transaction expenses
in 1999 and state income taxes, net of the federal tax benefit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and
borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Net cash provided by operating
activities amounted to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 29,
2000. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $9.6 million for the
period from April 24, 1999, to September 30, 1999, and net cash used in
operating activities amounted to $5.3 million for the period from January 1,
1999, to April 23, 1999. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine
months ended September 29, 2000 primarily reflects an increase in net income and
net changes in working capital accounts. Net cash used in investing activities
related primarily to capital expenditures of $11.3 million for the nine months
ended September 29, 2000. Net cash used in financing activities resulted from
$9.7 million in net advances to the Company's parent which was somewhat offset
by $5.5 million in net borrowings for the nine months ended September 29, 2000.
In May 2000, the Company amended its $190.0 million credit agreement to provide
for the Company to make a $10.0 million advance to its parent company, RSA
Holdings Corporation, for the partial prepayment of its outstanding note
payable. In May 2000, the Company borrowed $10.0 million under its revolving
credit facility and advanced the $10.0 million to RSA Holdings Corporation to
prepay a portion of its outstanding note payable.
At September 29, 2000, the Company had approximately $11.4 million available for
future borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
-24-
<PAGE>
Management believes that the Company's cash on hand, anticipated funds from
operations, and the amounts available to the Company under its revolving credit
facility will be sufficient to cover its working capital needs, capital
expenditures and debt service requirements as well as support the Company's
growth-oriented strategy for its existing business for at least the next 12
months.
The Company's ability to fund operations, make capital expenditures and make
scheduled principal and interest payments or to refinance the Company's
indebtedness will depend upon future financial and operating performance, which
will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and
other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to various market risk factors such as fluctuating
interest rates and changes in foreign currency rates. These risk factors can
impact results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company
manages these risks through regular operating and financing activities and
periodically uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange
option and forward contracts and interest rate cap and swap agreements. These
derivative instruments are placed with major financial institutions and are not
for speculative or trading purposes.
The following analysis presents the effect on the Company's earnings, cash flows
and financial position as if the hypothetical changes in market risk factors
occurred on September 29, 2000 and September 30, 1999. Only the potential
impacts of hypothetical assumptions are analyzed. The analysis does not consider
other possible effects that could impact the business.
Interest Rate Risk
At September 29, 2000, the Company carried $191.2 million of outstanding debt on
its balance sheet, with $120.9 million of that total held at variable interest
rates. The Company has entered into an interest rate cap agreement and an
interest rate swap agreement with a bank covering $56.3 million of its variable
rate debt outstanding to manage its interest rate risk. Holding all other
variables constant, if interest rates hypothetically increased or decreased by
10%, for the nine months ended September 29, 2000 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the impact on earnings, cash flow and financial position
would not be material. In addition, if interest rates hypothetically increased
or decreased by 10% on September 29, 2000, with all other variables held
constant, the fair market value of our $69.3 million 9 7/8% Series B Senior
Notes would increase or decrease by approximately $3.5 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company sells to customers in foreign markets through foreign operations and
through export sales from plants in the U.S. These transactions are often
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The primary currency
exposures are the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar and Mexican
Peso.
The Company limits its foreign currency risk by operational means, mostly by
locating its manufacturing operations in those locations where it has
significant exposures to major currencies. The Company periodically enters into
currency option contracts to partially offset the risk of foreign currency
fluctuations. There were no currency contracts outstanding at September 29,
2000.
Contingencies
Refer to Note F - Contingencies to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for a discussion of legal contingencies.
New Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 establishes standards
for accounting and disclosure of derivative instruments. This new standard, as
amended by FAS 137 and FAS 138, is effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is required to adopt FAS 133 on
December 30, 2000. The implementation of this new standard is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
-25-
<PAGE>
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Interpretation
clarifies guidance for certain issues that arose in the application of APB
Opinion No. 25. The Company adopted the Interpretation on July 1, 2000, which
did not have any effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB No.
101 provides additional guidance relating to revenue recognition. The Company is
required to adopt SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A and SAB No. 101B, in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and is currently assessing the impact, if any, that
SAB No. 101 may have on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF No. 00-14,
"Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives". EITF No. 00-14 addresses the
recognition, measurement, and income statement classification of various sales
incentives including discounts, coupons, rebates, and free products or services.
The Company is required to adopt EITF No. 00-14 in the fourth quarter of 2000.
The Company has determined that the adoption of EITF No. 00-14 will have no
effect on its financial position or previously reported results of operations
and is in the process of determining the potential effect on its statement of
operations presentation and upon adoption, previously issued financial
statements may need to be revised to conform to the new presentation.
Inflation
Inflation has not been material to the Company's operations within the periods
presented.
