(a)   The results of Tilia are included from April 1, 2002.
(b)   2002 includes a net release of a $4.4 million tax valuation allowance. Adjusting for the net release of the valuation allowance, the
      Company’s diluted earnings per share for 2002 would have been $2.22.
(c)   2001 includes a $121.1 million pretax loss on the sale of thermoforming assets, a $2.3 million pretax charge associated with corporate
      restructuring, a $1.4 million pretax loss on the sale of the Company’s interest in Microlin, LLC, $2.6 million of pretax separation costs
      related to the management reorganization, $1.4 million of pretax costs to evaluate strategic options, $1.4 million of pretax costs to
      exit facilities, a $2.4 million pretax charge for stock option compensation, $4.1 million of pretax income associated with the discharge
      of deferred compensation obligations and a $1.0 million pretax gain related to an insurance recovery.
(d)   2000 includes $1.6 million of pretax income associated with the reduction in long-term performance-based compensation, $1.4
      million in pretax litigation charges, net of recoveries and $0.6 million of pretax costs to evaluate strategic options.
(e)   1999 includes a $19.7 million pretax gain on the sale of the plastic packaging product line and a $2.3 million pretax charge to exit
      a plastic thermoforming facility.
(f)   1998 includes a $1.3 million pretax charge to exit a plastic injection molding facility.
(g)   Special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses were comprised of costs to evaluate strategic options, discharge of deferred
      compensation obligations, separation costs for former officers, stock option compensation, corporate restructuring costs, costs to exit
      facilities, reduction of long-term performance based compensation, litigation charges and items related to our divested thermoforming
      operations.
(h)   All earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to give effect to a 2-for-1 split of our outstanding shares of common stock that
      was effected during the second quarter of 2002.
(i)   ‘‘EBITDA’’ is calculated as operating income (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) special charges (credits) and
      reorganization expenses and (iii) loss (gain) on divestiture of assets and product lines. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow
      from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be used as an alternative
      to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is included in this Form 10-K
      because it is a basis upon which our management assesses financial performance. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of
      operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other
      companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.
                                                                 Quarterly Stock Prices
    The table below sets forth the high and low sales prices of our common stock as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange for the periods indicated. All prices have been adjusted to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split that
occurred during the second quarter of 2002:

                                          Management’s Discussion and Analysis
               We are a leading provider of niche, branded consumer products used in the home, under leading brand
           names including Ball , Bernardin , Diamond , FoodSaver , Forster and Kerr . In North America, we are the
           market leader in several targeted categories, including home canning, branded retail plastic cutlery, kitchen
           matches, toothpicks and home vacuum packaging.
                We have grown by actively acquiring new brands and expanding our existing brands. Our strategy to
           achieve future growth is to acquire new brands, sustain profitable internal growth and expand our international
           business.
                On April 24, 2002, we completed our acquisition of the business of Tilia International, Inc. and its
           subsidiaries (collectively ‘‘Tilia’’), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the ‘‘Acquisition’’). Based in San
           Francisco, California, Tilia was a developer, manufacturer and marketer of a patented vacuum packaging
           system for home use, primarily for food storage, under the FoodSaver brand. The Acquisition was entered into
           as part of our plan to pursue growth in branded consumer products. We acquired the business of Tilia for
           approximately $145 million in cash and $15 million in seller debt financing. In addition, the Acquisition
           includes an earn-out provision with a potential payment in cash or our common stock of up to $25 million
           payable in 2005, provided that certain earnings performance targets are met. In conjunction with the
      12
PG.
           Acquisition, we incurred expenses in the amount of approximately $4.5 million. Due to the Company having
           effective control of the business of Tilia as of April 1, 2002, the results of Tilia have been included in the
           Company’s results from such date.
                Effective November 26, 2001, we sold the assets of our Triangle, TriEnda and Synergy World plastic
           thermoforming operations (‘‘TPD Assets’’) to Wilbert, Inc. for $21.0 million in cash, a non-interest bearing
           one-year note (‘‘Wilbert Note’’) as well as the assumption of certain identified liabilities. The carrying amount
           on the Wilbert Note of $1.6 million was repaid on November 25, 2002. In connection with this sale, we recorded
           a pre-tax loss of approximately $121.1 million in 2001. The proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the
           Company’s term debt under its old credit agreement.
                Effective November 1, 2001, we sold our majority interest in Microlin, LLC (‘‘Microlin’’), a developer of
           proprietary battery and fluid delivery technology, for $1,000 in cash plus contingent consideration based upon
           future performance through December 31, 2012 and the cancellation of future funding requirements. We
           recorded a pretax loss of $1.4 million in 2001 related to the sale.
               Pro forma financial information relating to the Acquisition and the sales of TPD Assets and Microlin has
           been included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
                On September 24, 2001, our board of directors appointed Martin E. Franklin as our Chairman and Chief
           Executive Officer and Ian G.H. Ashken as our Vice Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Following
           this appointment we undertook a new business and management strategy to concentrate on niche, branded
           consumer products, which led to the sale of the TPD Assets and the Acquisition. During 2002, we revised our
           business segment information to report four business segments: branded consumables, home vacuum
           packaging, plastic consumables and other. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current
           segment definitions.

           Results of Operations – Comparing 2002 to 2001
                 We reported net sales of $368.2 million in 2002, an increase of 20.7% from net sales of $305.0 million in
           2001. From April 1, 2002 onwards, our home vacuum packaging segment, which consists of the newly acquired
           Tilia business, generated net sales of $145.3 million. Our branded consumables segment reported net sales of
           $112.3 million in 2002 compared to $120.6 million in 2001. Net sales were $8.3 million or 6.9% lower than
           2001, principally due to severe drought weather conditions during summer 2002 in the South, Southeast and
           West Central regions of the United States. Our plastic consumables segment reported net sales of $70.6 million
           in 2002 compared to $139.9 million in 2001. The principal cause of the $69.3 million decrease was the
           divestiture of the TPD Assets and Microlin, which accounted for $63.3 million of such change (after adjusting
           for $1.2 million of intercompany sales to these businesses). The remaining $6.0 million is principally due to
Jarden Corporation
                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
lower tooling sales and a contractual sales price reduction to a significant customer. In the other segment, net
sales decreased to $41.0 million in 2002 from $45.5 million in 2001, primarily due to reduced sales to the United
States Mint in connection with its inventory reduction program for all coinage.
     We reported operating income of $65.1 million for 2002. These results compare to an operating loss of
$113.9 million for 2001, which included special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses of $5.0 million
and a loss on divestitures of assets and product lines of $122.9 million. All of our segments generated increases
in operating income in 2002 from 2001, with the exception of the other segment, which had a small decrease
but still maintained a constant operating income percentage of net sales in 2002. From April 1, 2002 onwards,
our home vacuum packaging segment, which consists of the newly acquired Tilia business, generated operating
income of $31.7 million. Operating income for our branded consumables and plastic consumables segments
increased by $4.7 million and $14.4 million, respectively, in 2002 compared to 2001. The other factors that
contributed to these favorable operating income results are discussed in the following two paragraphs.
     Gross margin percentages on a consolidated basis increased to 41.2% in 2002 from 23.7% in 2001,
reflecting the higher gross margins of the acquired home vacuum packaging business in 2002, the lower gross
margins of the disposed TPD Assets and Microlin businesses in 2001, a $1.5 million charge for slow moving                  13
                                                                                                                     PG.
inventory in the branded consumables segment in 2001 and cost efficiency increases in our plastic consumables
segment. These increases were partially offset by lower gross margins in the branded consumables segment
caused by the lower sales volume.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $86.5 million in 2002 from $53.3 million in
2001, or, as a percentage of net sales increased to 23.5% in 2002 from 17.5% in 2001. This increase was
principally due to the acquisition of the home vacuum packaging business, which accounted for an additional
$46.3 million of selling, general and administrative expenses, and because of company-wide increased
performance-based compensation expenses related to our strong financial performance in 2002. Partially
offsetting this were decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses in our branded consumables,
plastic consumables and other segments. Expenses within the branded consumables segment decreased due to
lower selling expenses associated with the decrease in net sales discussed above. Expenses within our plastic
consumables segment decreased primarily due to the divestiture of TPD Assets and Microlin, which accounted
for $11.7 million of this decline, and lower expenses in the remaining business of the segment.
     We incurred net special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses of $5.0 million in 2001, consisting
of $0.8 million in costs to exit facilities, $2.4 million in stock option compensation, $2.3 million in corporate
restructuring costs, $2.6 million in separation costs for former executive officers and $1.4 million of costs to
evaluate strategic options, partially offset by $4.1 million in pre-tax income related to the discharge of certain
deferred compensation obligations and $0.4 million of income for items related to the divested TPD Assets.
    As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we did not record goodwill amortization in 2002. Goodwill
amortization of approximately $5.2 million had been recorded in 2001.
     Net interest expense in 2002 was $12.6 million compared to $11.8 million for 2001, primarily due to the
additional indebtedness assumed pursuant to the Acquisition, partially offset by the write-off in 2001 of $1.5
million of previously deferred debt issuance costs in November 2001 in conjunction with the amendment to our
credit facility effected in connection with the TPD Assets sale. During 2002, we had a lower weighted average
interest rate than the prior year, which was more than offset by higher average borrowings outstanding.
     Our effective tax rate was 30.8% in 2002 compared to 32.2% in 2001. At December 31, 2001, we had
federal net operating losses that were recorded as a deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance of $5.4
million. Due to the impact of the Job Creation Act and the tax refunds that we received as a result, a net $4.4
million of this valuation allowance was released in 2002 resulting in an income tax provision of $16.2 million.
Our net income for 2002 would have been $31.9 million or $2.22 diluted earnings per share if this valuation
allowance release was excluded. Excluding the release of this valuation allowance, our effective tax rate was
approximately 39.2% in 2002. The effective tax rate in 2001 was lower than the statutory federal rate due to
the valuation allowance described above.

           Results of Operations – Comparing 2001 to 2000
                We reported consolidated net sales of $305.0 million in 2001, a decrease of 14.7% from net sales of $357.4
           million in 2000. Net sales of the branded consumables segment were $120.6 million in 2001 compared to
           $120.4 million in 2000. Increased sales in the United States were offset by decreased sales in Canada due to
           unfavorable weather conditions and customers carrying higher levels of inventory over from 2000. Net sales
           within the plastic consumables segment were $139.9 million in 2001 compared to $179.3 million in 2000. The
           decrease of $39.4 million or 22.0% was due primarily to (i) lower demand for industrial thermoformed parts
           (part of the divested TPD Assets) in the heavy truck and material handling markets, and (ii) the fact that 2001
           did not include December sales for the divested TPD Assets. Net sales of the other segment decreased to $45.5
           million in 2001 from $58.8 million in 2000. This decrease of $13.3 million or 22.6% resulted from lower
           demand in all of our zinc product lines.
                Our operating loss for 2001 was $113.9 million, including special charges (credits) and reorganization
           expenses of $5.0 million and a total loss on divestitures of assets and product lines of $122.9 million. These
           results compare to operating income for 2000 of $19.0 million. The factors that contributed to these results are
           discussed in the following two paragraphs.

PG.
                Gross margin percentages increased to 23.7% in 2001 from 23.3% in 2000. Gross margin percentages
           increased for branded consumables due primarily to cost efficiencies which continued during 2001 as the
           benefits of the segment’s SAP system implementation continued to be realized. The plastic consumables
           segment gross margin percentages declined from 16% in 2000 to 13% in 2001. This decrease in gross margin
           percentage was due primarily to (i) lower sales of plastic thermoformed parts (part of the divested TPD Assets)
           resulting in diminished operating efficiencies, and (ii) lower sales volumes causing fixed overhead costs to be
           allocated to less sales of injection molded plastic parts. There was an increase in the other segment’s gross
           margin percentages from 28% in 2000 to 29% in 2001.
                Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 7.1% to $53.3 million in 2001 from $57.3 million
           in 2000, or, as a percentage of sales increased to 17.5% in 2001 from 16.0% in 2000. Branded consumables
           expenses decreased primarily due to lower expenses associated with sales and marketing, warehousing and
           shipping. Expenses within the plastic consumables segment decreased primarily as a result of the cost savings
           realized due to a third quarter 2000 realignment and consolidation of our divested TPD Assets and the fact that
           2001 did not include December expenses for the divested TPD Assets. Excluding the TPD Assets, selling, general
           and administrative expenses in the remainder of the plastic consumables segment and the other segment
           remained relatively constant.
               Goodwill amortization decreased from $6.4 million in 2000 to $5.2 million in 2001 due primarily to our
           November 2001 sale of the TPD Assets included in the plastic consumables segment.
                We incurred net special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses of $5.0 million in 2001, consisting
           of $0.8 million in costs to exit facilities, $2.4 million in stock option compensation, $2.3 million in corporate
           restructuring costs, $2.6 million in separation costs for former executive officers and $1.4 million of costs to
           evaluate strategic options, partially offset by $4.1 million in pre-tax income related to the discharge of certain
           deferred compensation obligations and $0.4 million of income for items related to the divested TPD Assets.
                Net interest expense in 2001 was $11.8 million compared to $11.9 million for 2000. The effects of lower
           average borrowings outstanding and lower interest rates during 2001 were offset by the write-off of $1.5
           million of previously deferred debt issuance costs in November 2001 in conjunction with the amendment to our
           credit facility effected in connection with the sale of TPD Assets. Our effective interest rate for the year ended
           December 31, 2001 was 7.7%. As a result of decreasing interest rates during 2001, our interest rate swaps, which
           were at a fixed interest rate of 5.7%, resulted in additional interest expense to us during the year ended
           December 31, 2001.
                Our effective tax rate was 32.2% for 2001 compared to 34.0% for 2000. The effective rate for 2001 is lower
           than the statutory federal rate primarily because it includes a valuation allowance for tax benefits associated
           with the loss on the sale of the TPD Assets. The effective rate for 2000 reflects the recognition of a tax benefit
           from exiting the Central European home canning test market.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
     During 2002, we made the following changes to our capital resources in connection with the financing of
the Acquisition:
         completed an offering of $150 million of 93⁄4% senior subordinated notes (‘‘Notes’’) to qualified
         institutional buyers in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,
         which were later wholly exchanged pursuant to an offering for 93⁄4% senior subordinated notes which
         are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (‘‘New Notes’’);
         in conjunction with the Notes, entered into a $75 million interest rate swap to receive a fixed rate of
         interest and pay a variable rate of interest based upon LIBOR;
         refinanced our existing indebtedness with a new $100 million five-year senior secured credit facility,
         which included a $50 million term loan facility and a $50 million revolving credit facility (‘‘New
         Credit Agreement’’); and
         entered into $15 million of seller debt financing.
                                                                                                                           15
                                                                                                                     PG.
     The Notes were issued at a discount such that we received approximately $147.7 million in net proceeds.
The Notes will mature on May 1, 2012, however, on or after May 1, 2007, we may redeem all or part of the Notes
at any time at a redemption price ranging from 100% to 104.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any. Prior to May 1, 2005, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain public equity offerings at a redemption
price of 109.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any.
Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 9.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May
1 and November 1, with the first payment having occurred on November 1, 2002.
    During December 2002, the Company completed an offering to the holders of the Notes to exchange the
Notes for the New Notes. The New Notes are substantially similar to the Notes except that certain mandatory
redemption provisions and the transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes are not applicable to the New Notes.
     In conjunction with the Notes, on April 24, 2002, we entered into a $75 million interest rate swap (‘‘Initial
Swap’’) to receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a variable rate of interest based upon LIBOR. The Initial Swap
had a maturity date that was the same as the Notes. Interest was payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and
November 1, commencing on November 1, 2002. The initial effective rate of interest that we established on this
swap was 6.05%. This contract was considered to be an effective hedge against changes in the fair value of our
fixed-rate debt obligation for both tax and accounting purposes.
     Effective September 12, 2002, we entered into an agreement, whereby we unwound the Initial Swap and
contemporaneously entered into a new $75 million interest rate swap (‘‘Replacement Swap’’). The Replacement
Swap has the same terms as the Initial Swap, except that we will pay a variable rate of interest based upon 6
month LIBOR in arrears. The spread on this contract is 470 basis points. Based upon this contract, we paid an
effective interest rate of 6.32% on November 1, 2002. In return for unwinding the Initial Swap, we received $5.4
million in cash proceeds, of which $1 million related to accrued interest that was owed to us. The remaining
$4.4 million of proceeds will be amortized over the remaining life of the Notes as a credit to interest expense
and is included in our consolidated balance sheet as an increase to the value of the long-term debt. Such
amortization amount offsets the increased effective rate of interest that we pay on the Replacement Swap. We
have continued to accrue interest on the Replacement Swap at a 6.32% effective rate for the remainder of 2002.
     The Replacement Swap is also considered to be an effective hedge against changes in the fair value of our
fixed-rate debt obligation for both tax and accounting purposes. The fair market value of the interest rate swap
as of December 31, 2002 was approximately $2.4 million and is included as an asset within other assets in the
consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding offset to long-term debt. We are exposed to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the other party to the Replacement Swap, a large financial institution, however,
we do not anticipate non-performance by the other party.

                                 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
                 The New Credit Agreement matures on April 24, 2007. The revolving credit facility and the term loan
           facility bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate pursuant to an agreed formula or (ii) a Base Rate
           equal to the higher of (a) the Bank of America prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus .50%, plus, in each
           case, an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% for Eurodollar Rate loans and from .75% to 1.5% for
           Base Rate loans.
                The New Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on the conduct of our business, including, among
           other things restrictions, generally, on:
                      incurring debt;
                      making investments;
                      exceeding certain agreed upon capital expenditures;
                      creating or suffering liens;
                      completing certain mergers;
                      consolidations and sales of assets and, with permitted exceptions, acquisitions;

PG.

                      declaring dividends;
                      redeeming or prepaying other debt; and
                      certain transactions with affiliates.
                The New Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain certain financial covenants.
               During 2002, we incurred costs in connection with the issuance of the Notes, the New Notes and the New
           Credit Agreement of approximately $7.4 million.
                The seller debt financing for the Acquisition consists of a non-interest bearing note in the principal
           amount of $10 million that is due on March 31, 2003 and a note in the principal amount of $5 million, bearing
           interest at 5%, which is due on April 24, 2004. For accounting purposes, we have imputed an interest rate of
           5% on the $10 million non-interest bearing note.
                 Until it was replaced by the New Credit Agreement on April 24, 2002, our senior credit facility, as amended
           (‘‘Old Credit Agreement’’), provided for a revolving credit facility of $40 million and a term loan which
           amortized periodically as required by the terms of the agreement. Interest on borrowings under the Old Credit
           Agreement’s term loan and the revolving credit facilities were based upon fixed increments over adjusted
           LIBOR or the agent bank’s alternate borrowing rate as defined in the agreement. The agreement also required
           the payment of commitment fees on the unused balance. During the first quarter of 2002, approximately $38
           million of tax refunds we received were used to repay a portion of the outstanding amounts under the Old Credit
           Agreement.
                In May 1999, we entered into a three-year interest rate swap with an initial notional value of $90 million.
           The swap effectively fixed the interest rate on approximately 60% of our term debt at a maximum rate of 7.98%
           for the three-year period. The swap matured and was terminated in March 2002.
               As of December 31, 2002, we had $47.5 million outstanding under the term loan facility of the New Credit
           Agreement, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.3%. As of December 31, 2002, we had not drawn down
           any of the $50 million available under the revolving credit facility of the New Credit Agreement, although we
           have used approximately $4.2 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. See ‘‘Recent
           Developments’’ below, for a discussion of the recent amendment to our New Credit Agreement.
                As a result of the losses arising from the sale of the TPD Assets, we recovered in January 2002
           approximately $15.7 million of federal income taxes paid in 1999 and 2000 by utilizing the carryback of a tax
           net operating loss generated in 2001. On March 9, 2002, The Job Creation and Workers Assistance Act of 2002
           was enacted which provides, in part, for the carryback of 2001 net operating losses for five years instead of the
           previous two year period. As a result, we filed for an additional refund of $22.8 million, of which $22.2 million
           was received in March 2002 and the remainder was received in April 2002.
Jarden Corporation
                       Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
     Working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) increased to approximately $101.6
million at December 31, 2002 from approximately $8.0 million at December 31, 2001 due primarily to:
           the working capital of the acquired home vacuum packaging business;
           a lower amount of current portion of debt and increased cash on hand amounts caused by our
           favorable operating results and the new financing relationships discussed above; and
          the receipt of $22.3 million of tax refunds which had not been included in working capital in 2001.
     Cash flow generated from operations, excluding net income tax refunds was approximately $31.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002.
     Capital expenditures were $9.3 million in 2002 compared to $9.7 million for 2001 and are largely related
to maintaining facilities, tooling projects, improving manufacturing efficiencies and a portion of the costs of
the installation of new packaging lines for the branded consumables segment. As of December 31, 2002, we had
capital expenditure commitments in the aggregate for all our segments of approximately $3.9 million, of which
$2.5 million relates to the completion of the new packaging lines for the branded consumables segment. As of
December 31, 2002, our home vacuum packaging segment had committed to purchase $18.5 million of                            17

inventory from various vendors in the year 2003. Additionally, as of December 31, 2002, our other segment had
forward buy contracts for 2003 to purchase zinc ingots in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.5 million,
which are expected to be used in operations in 2003.
     We believe that cash generated from our operations and our availability under our senior credit facility, are
adequate to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.
However, we may raise additional capital from time to time to take advantage of favorable conditions in the
capital markets or in connection with our corporate development activities.

2002 and the periods in which payments are due. Certain of these amounts are not required to be included in

    Commercial commitments are items that we could be obligated to pay in the future:
           As of December 31, 2002, we had $4.2 million in standby and commercial letters of credit that all
           expire in 2003;
           In connection with the Acquisition, we may be obligated to pay an earn-out in cash or our common

        In connection with a contract we have entered into to acquire additional intellectual property, we may
        be obligated to pay up to $7.5 million between 2003 and 2009, providing certain contractual
        obligations, including the issuance of patents amongst other things, are satisfied.
    These amounts are not required to be included in our consolidated balance sheet.

           Recent Developments
                In January 2003, we filed a shelf registration statement, which was declared effective by the Securities and
           Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) on January 31, 2003. This shelf registration statement is intended
           to facilitate our access to growth capital for future acquisitions and allows us to sell over time up to $150
           million of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, or any combination of these securities in
           one or more separate offerings in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of the sale.
                 On February 7, 2003, we completed our acquisition of the business of Diamond Brands, Incorporated, and
           its subsidiaries (‘‘Diamond Brands’’), a manufacturer and distributor of kitchen matches, toothpicks and retail
           plastic cutlery under the Diamond® and Forster® trademarks, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The
           purchase price of this transaction was approximately $86 million in cash, net of cash on hand at Diamond
           Brands, paid at closing and a deferred payment in the amount of $6 million payable in cash or our common
           stock, at our election, on or before August 7, 2003. In connection with this acquisition, we amended our New
           Credit Agreement, increasing our term loan facility by $10 million and our revolving loan facility by $20
           million. We used cash on hand and draw downs under our debt facilities to finance the transaction. As of
           December 31, 2002, approximately $1.5 million for an escrow deposit and expenses related to the Diamond

           Brands acquisition had been capitalized and included in our balance sheet. Following this acquisition and the
           effectiveness of our amendment, we had outstanding $57.5 million under our term loan facility and $14 million
           under our revolving credit facility. After taking account of the outstanding amount and issued letters of credit,
           we had approximately $45.8 million of availability remaining under the revolving credit agreement.

           Critical Accounting Policies
                 Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
           United States, which require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
           in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The following list of critical accounting policies is not
           intended to be a comprehensive list of all our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are more
           fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The following represents a summary of our
           critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of
           our financial condition and results of operations, and/or require management’s significant judgments and
           estimates:
           Revenue recognition and product returns
                We recognize revenue when title transfers. In most cases, title transfers at the time product is shipped to
           customers. We allow customers to return defective or damaged products as well as certain other products for
           credit, replacement, or exchange. Our revenue is recognized as the net amount to be received after deducting
           estimated amounts for product returns, discounts, and allowances. We estimate future product returns based
           upon historical return rates and our judgment. If these estimates do not properly reflect future returns, they
           could be revised.
           Accounts receivable
                We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of
           our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate or our
           judgment regarding their financial condition was to change negatively, additional allowances may be required
           resulting in a charge to income in the period such determination was made. Conversely, if the financial
           condition of our customers were to improve or our judgment regarding their financial condition was to change
           positively, a reduction in the allowances may be required resulting in an increase in income in the period such
           determination was made.
           Inventory
                We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the
           difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about
Jarden Corporation
                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by us,
additional inventory write-downs may be required resulting in a charge to income in the period such
determination was made. Conversely, if actual market conditions are more favorable than those projected by us,
a reduction in the write down may be required resulting in an increase in income in the period such
determination was made.
Deferred tax assets
     We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe is more
likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and
feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to
determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an
adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
Likewise, should we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess
of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such
determination was made.
                                                                                                                           19
                                                                                                                     PG.
Intangible assets
     We have significant intangible assets on our balance sheet that include goodwill, trademarks and other
intangibles fair valued in conjunction with acquisitions. The valuation and classification of these assets and the
assignment of amortizable lives involves significant judgments and the use of estimates. The testing of these
intangibles under established guidelines for impairment also requires significant use of judgment and
assumptions. Our assets are tested and reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis under the established
accounting guidelines. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset
valuations.

Contingencies
      We are involved in various legal disputes in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Environ-
mental Protection Agency has designated our Company as a potentially responsible party, along with numerous
other companies, for the clean up of several hazardous waste sites. Based on currently available information,
we do not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes our Company is currently
involved in will require material capital or operating expenditures or will otherwise have a material adverse
effect upon the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or competitive position of our Company.
It is possible, that as additional information becomes available, the impact on our Company of an adverse
determination could have a different effect.

New Accounting Pronouncements
      In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and
intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment
tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
We applied the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter
of 2002. We have performed the required tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets and, based on
the results, have not recorded any charges related to the adoption of and subsequent conformity with SFAS No.
142. In 2001 and 2000, we recorded goodwill amortization of $5.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The
adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
    In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This standard superceded Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and provided a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
Jarden Corporation
                                  Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
           disposed of. The new standard also superceded the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 with regard to reporting
           the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business and required expected future operating losses from
           discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are
           incurred. SFAS No. 144 was effective for our business beginning with the first quarter of 2002 and its adoption
           did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
                In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Recision of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS
           No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2000. SFAS No. 145 revises the criteria for classifying the
           extinguishment of debt as extraordinary and the accounting treatment of certain lease modifications. SFAS No.
           145 is effective in fiscal 2003 and we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
           statements. In 2003, we will conform with the requirements of SFAS No. 145 in our Selected Financial Data
           disclosure in connection with our early extinguishment of debt that occurred in 1999.
                In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
           Activities. SFAS No. 146 provides guidance on the timing of the recognition of costs associated with exit or
           disposal activities. The new guidance requires costs associated with exit or disposal activities to be recognized
           when incurred. Previous guidance required recognition of costs at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal
      20
PG.
           plan. The provisions of the statement are to be adopted prospectively for exit activities after December 31, 2002.
           Although SFAS No. 146 may impact the accounting for costs related to exit or disposal activities that we may
           enter into in the future, particularly the timing of recognition of these costs, the adoption of the statement will
           not have an impact on our present financial condition or results of operations.
                In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition
           and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide
           alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based methods of accounting for
           stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS
           No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
           method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
           results. The additional disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after
           December 15, 2002. As provided for in SFAS No. 148, we have elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value
           method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
           Issued to Employees, to account for stock options.
           Forward-Looking Statements
                 From time to time, we may make or publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as
           anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, and similar
           matters. Such statements are necessarily estimates reflecting management’s best judgment based on current
           information. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
           statements. Such statements are usually identified by the use of words or phrases such as ‘‘believes,’’
           ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘planned,’’ ‘‘outlook’’ and ‘‘goal.’’ Because forward-looking statements
           involve risks and uncertainties, our actual results could differ materially. In order to comply with the terms of
           the safe harbor, we note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ
           materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in forward-looking statements.
                While it is impossible to identify all such factors, the risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations,
           performance and results of our business include the following:
                Our significant indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health, and prevent us from fulfilling our
                obligations under the New Notes and the New Credit Agreement;
                We will require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness. Our ability to generate cash
                depends on many factors beyond our control;
                Reductions, cancellations or delays in customer purchases would adversely affect our profitability;
                We may be adversely affected by the financial health of the U.S. retail industry;
Jarden Corporation
                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
    We may be adversely affected by the trend towards retail trade consolidation;
    Sales of some of our products are seasonal and weather related;
    Competition in our industries may hinder our ability to execute our business strategy, sustain profitability,
    or maintain relationships with existing customers;
    If we fail to develop new or expand existing customer relationships, our ability to grow our business will
    be impaired;
    Our operations are subject to a number of Federal, state and local environmental regulations;
    We may be adversely affected by remediation obligations mandated by applicable environmental laws;
    We depend on key personnel;
    We enter into contracts with the United States government and other governments;
    Our operating results can be adversely affected by changes in the cost or availability of raw materials;
                                                                                                                          21
                                                                                                                    PG.
    We may have difficulty in integrating acquired businesses, which may interrupt our business operations;
    Continuation of the United States penny as a currency denomination;
    Our business could be adversely affected because of risks which are particular to international operations;
    We depend on our patents and proprietary rights;
    We may be adversely affected by problems that may arise between certain of our vendors, customers, and
    transportation services that we rely on and their respective labor unions that represent certain of their
    employees;
    Certain of our employees are represented by labor unions; and
    Any other factors which may be identified from time to time in our periodic Commission filings and other
    public announcements.
     Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statement, we do not
intend to update forward-looking statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
      In general, business enterprises can be exposed to market risks including fluctuations in commodity prices,
foreign currency values, and interest rates that can affect the cost of operating, investing, and financing. The
Company’s exposures to these risks are low. The majority of the Company’s zinc business is conducted on a
tolling basis whereby customers supply zinc to the Company for processing, or supply contracts provide for
fluctuations in the price of zinc to be passed on to the customer. The Company’s plastic consumables business
purchases resin from regular commercial sources of supply and, in most cases, multiple sources. The supply and
demand for plastic resins is subject to cyclical and other market factors. With many of our customers, we have
the ability to pass through price increases with an increase in our selling price and certain of our customers
purchase the resin used in products we manufacture for them.
      The Company, from time to time, invests in short-term financial instruments with original maturities
usually less than fifty days. The Company is exposed to short-term interest rate variations with respect to
Eurodollar or Base Rate on its term and revolving debt obligations and 6 month LIBOR in arrears on its interest
rate swap. The spread on the interest rate swap is 470 basis points. Settlements on the interest rate swap are
made on May 1 and November 1, with the first one having been made on November 1, 2002. The Company is
exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the swap, a large financial
institution, however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the other party.
Jarden Corporation
                                Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
                Changes in Eurodollar or LIBOR interest rates would affect the earnings of the Company either positively
           or negatively depending on the changes in short-term interest rates. Assuming that Eurodollar and LIBOR rates
           each increased 100 basis points over period end rates on the outstanding term debt and interest rate swap, the
           Company’s interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million for 2002 and
           2001, respectively. The amounts were determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates
           on the Company’s borrowing cost, short-term investment rates, interest rate swap and estimated cash flow.
           Actual changes in rates may differ from the assumptions used in computing this exposure.

                The Company does not invest or trade in any derivative financial or commodity instruments, nor does it
           invest in any foreign financial instruments.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Jarden Corporation and Subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jarden Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
                                                                                                                       23

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Jarden Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2002, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’’.

(i) ‘‘EBITDA’’ is calculated as operating income (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses and (iii) loss (gain) on divestiture of assets and product lines. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be used as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is included in this Form 10-K because it is a basis upon which our management assesses financial performance. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

  • 14. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis We are a leading provider of niche, branded consumer products used in the home, under leading brand names including Ball , Bernardin , Diamond , FoodSaver , Forster and Kerr . In North America, we are the market leader in several targeted categories, including home canning, branded retail plastic cutlery, kitchen matches, toothpicks and home vacuum packaging. We have grown by actively acquiring new brands and expanding our existing brands. Our strategy to achieve future growth is to acquire new brands, sustain profitable internal growth and expand our international business. On April 24, 2002, we completed our acquisition of the business of Tilia International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively ‘‘Tilia’’), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the ‘‘Acquisition’’). Based in San Francisco, California, Tilia was a developer, manufacturer and marketer of a patented vacuum packaging system for home use, primarily for food storage, under the FoodSaver brand. The Acquisition was entered into as part of our plan to pursue growth in branded consumer products. We acquired the business of Tilia for approximately $145 million in cash and $15 million in seller debt financing. In addition, the Acquisition includes an earn-out provision with a potential payment in cash or our common stock of up to $25 million payable in 2005, provided that certain earnings performance targets are met. In conjunction with the 12 PG. Acquisition, we incurred expenses in the amount of approximately $4.5 million. Due to the Company having effective control of the business of Tilia as of April 1, 2002, the results of Tilia have been included in the Company’s results from such date. Effective November 26, 2001, we sold the assets of our Triangle, TriEnda and Synergy World plastic thermoforming operations (‘‘TPD Assets’’) to Wilbert, Inc. for $21.0 million in cash, a non-interest bearing one-year note (‘‘Wilbert Note’’) as well as the assumption of certain identified liabilities. The carrying amount on the Wilbert Note of $1.6 million was repaid on November 25, 2002. In connection with this sale, we recorded a pre-tax loss of approximately $121.1 million in 2001. The proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company’s term debt under its old credit agreement. Effective November 1, 2001, we sold our majority interest in Microlin, LLC (‘‘Microlin’’), a developer of proprietary battery and fluid delivery technology, for $1,000 in cash plus contingent consideration based upon future performance through December 31, 2012 and the cancellation of future funding requirements. We recorded a pretax loss of $1.4 million in 2001 related to the sale. Pro forma financial information relating to the Acquisition and the sales of TPD Assets and Microlin has been included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. On September 24, 2001, our board of directors appointed Martin E. Franklin as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Ian G.H. Ashken as our Vice Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Following this appointment we undertook a new business and management strategy to concentrate on niche, branded consumer products, which led to the sale of the TPD Assets and the Acquisition. During 2002, we revised our business segment information to report four business segments: branded consumables, home vacuum packaging, plastic consumables and other. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current segment definitions. Results of Operations – Comparing 2002 to 2001 We reported net sales of $368.2 million in 2002, an increase of 20.7% from net sales of $305.0 million in 2001. From April 1, 2002 onwards, our home vacuum packaging segment, which consists of the newly acquired Tilia business, generated net sales of $145.3 million. Our branded consumables segment reported net sales of $112.3 million in 2002 compared to $120.6 million in 2001. Net sales were $8.3 million or 6.9% lower than 2001, principally due to severe drought weather conditions during summer 2002 in the South, Southeast and West Central regions of the United States. Our plastic consumables segment reported net sales of $70.6 million in 2002 compared to $139.9 million in 2001. The principal cause of the $69.3 million decrease was the divestiture of the TPD Assets and Microlin, which accounted for $63.3 million of such change (after adjusting for $1.2 million of intercompany sales to these businesses). The remaining $6.0 million is principally due to
  • 15. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) lower tooling sales and a contractual sales price reduction to a significant customer. In the other segment, net sales decreased to $41.0 million in 2002 from $45.5 million in 2001, primarily due to reduced sales to the United States Mint in connection with its inventory reduction program for all coinage. We reported operating income of $65.1 million for 2002. These results compare to an operating loss of $113.9 million for 2001, which included special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses of $5.0 million and a loss on divestitures of assets and product lines of $122.9 million. All of our segments generated increases in operating income in 2002 from 2001, with the exception of the other segment, which had a small decrease but still maintained a constant operating income percentage of net sales in 2002. From April 1, 2002 onwards, our home vacuum packaging segment, which consists of the newly acquired Tilia business, generated operating income of $31.7 million. Operating income for our branded consumables and plastic consumables segments increased by $4.7 million and $14.4 million, respectively, in 2002 compared to 2001. The other factors that contributed to these favorable operating income results are discussed in the following two paragraphs. Gross margin percentages on a consolidated basis increased to 41.2% in 2002 from 23.7% in 2001, reflecting the higher gross margins of the acquired home vacuum packaging business in 2002, the lower gross margins of the disposed TPD Assets and Microlin businesses in 2001, a $1.5 million charge for slow moving 13 PG. inventory in the branded consumables segment in 2001 and cost efficiency increases in our plastic consumables segment. These increases were partially offset by lower gross margins in the branded consumables segment caused by the lower sales volume. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $86.5 million in 2002 from $53.3 million in 2001, or, as a percentage of net sales increased to 23.5% in 2002 from 17.5% in 2001. This increase was principally due to the acquisition of the home vacuum packaging business, which accounted for an additional $46.3 million of selling, general and administrative expenses, and because of company-wide increased performance-based compensation expenses related to our strong financial performance in 2002. Partially offsetting this were decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses in our branded consumables, plastic consumables and other segments. Expenses within the branded consumables segment decreased due to lower selling expenses associated with the decrease in net sales discussed above. Expenses within our plastic consumables segment decreased primarily due to the divestiture of TPD Assets and Microlin, which accounted for $11.7 million of this decline, and lower expenses in the remaining business of the segment. We incurred net special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses of $5.0 million in 2001, consisting of $0.8 million in costs to exit facilities, $2.4 million in stock option compensation, $2.3 million in corporate restructuring costs, $2.6 million in separation costs for former executive officers and $1.4 million of costs to evaluate strategic options, partially offset by $4.1 million in pre-tax income related to the discharge of certain deferred compensation obligations and $0.4 million of income for items related to the divested TPD Assets. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we did not record goodwill amortization in 2002. Goodwill amortization of approximately $5.2 million had been recorded in 2001. Net interest expense in 2002 was $12.6 million compared to $11.8 million for 2001, primarily due to the additional indebtedness assumed pursuant to the Acquisition, partially offset by the write-off in 2001 of $1.5 million of previously deferred debt issuance costs in November 2001 in conjunction with the amendment to our credit facility effected in connection with the TPD Assets sale. During 2002, we had a lower weighted average interest rate than the prior year, which was more than offset by higher average borrowings outstanding. Our effective tax rate was 30.8% in 2002 compared to 32.2% in 2001. At December 31, 2001, we had federal net operating losses that were recorded as a deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance of $5.4 million. Due to the impact of the Job Creation Act and the tax refunds that we received as a result, a net $4.4 million of this valuation allowance was released in 2002 resulting in an income tax provision of $16.2 million. Our net income for 2002 would have been $31.9 million or $2.22 diluted earnings per share if this valuation allowance release was excluded. Excluding the release of this valuation allowance, our effective tax rate was approximately 39.2% in 2002. The effective tax rate in 2001 was lower than the statutory federal rate due to the valuation allowance described above.
  • 16. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Results of Operations – Comparing 2001 to 2000 We reported consolidated net sales of $305.0 million in 2001, a decrease of 14.7% from net sales of $357.4 million in 2000. Net sales of the branded consumables segment were $120.6 million in 2001 compared to $120.4 million in 2000. Increased sales in the United States were offset by decreased sales in Canada due to unfavorable weather conditions and customers carrying higher levels of inventory over from 2000. Net sales within the plastic consumables segment were $139.9 million in 2001 compared to $179.3 million in 2000. The decrease of $39.4 million or 22.0% was due primarily to (i) lower demand for industrial thermoformed parts (part of the divested TPD Assets) in the heavy truck and material handling markets, and (ii) the fact that 2001 did not include December sales for the divested TPD Assets. Net sales of the other segment decreased to $45.5 million in 2001 from $58.8 million in 2000. This decrease of $13.3 million or 22.6% resulted from lower demand in all of our zinc product lines. Our operating loss for 2001 was $113.9 million, including special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses of $5.0 million and a total loss on divestitures of assets and product lines of $122.9 million. These results compare to operating income for 2000 of $19.0 million. The factors that contributed to these results are discussed in the following two paragraphs. 14 PG. Gross margin percentages increased to 23.7% in 2001 from 23.3% in 2000. Gross margin percentages increased for branded consumables due primarily to cost efficiencies which continued during 2001 as the benefits of the segment’s SAP system implementation continued to be realized. The plastic consumables segment gross margin percentages declined from 16% in 2000 to 13% in 2001. This decrease in gross margin percentage was due primarily to (i) lower sales of plastic thermoformed parts (part of the divested TPD Assets) resulting in diminished operating efficiencies, and (ii) lower sales volumes causing fixed overhead costs to be allocated to less sales of injection molded plastic parts. There was an increase in the other segment’s gross margin percentages from 28% in 2000 to 29% in 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 7.1% to $53.3 million in 2001 from $57.3 million in 2000, or, as a percentage of sales increased to 17.5% in 2001 from 16.0% in 2000. Branded consumables expenses decreased primarily due to lower expenses associated with sales and marketing, warehousing and shipping. Expenses within the plastic consumables segment decreased primarily as a result of the cost savings realized due to a third quarter 2000 realignment and consolidation of our divested TPD Assets and the fact that 2001 did not include December expenses for the divested TPD Assets. Excluding the TPD Assets, selling, general and administrative expenses in the remainder of the plastic consumables segment and the other segment remained relatively constant. Goodwill amortization decreased from $6.4 million in 2000 to $5.2 million in 2001 due primarily to our November 2001 sale of the TPD Assets included in the plastic consumables segment. We incurred net special charges (credits) and reorganization expenses of $5.0 million in 2001, consisting of $0.8 million in costs to exit facilities, $2.4 million in stock option compensation, $2.3 million in corporate restructuring costs, $2.6 million in separation costs for former executive officers and $1.4 million of costs to evaluate strategic options, partially offset by $4.1 million in pre-tax income related to the discharge of certain deferred compensation obligations and $0.4 million of income for items related to the divested TPD Assets. Net interest expense in 2001 was $11.8 million compared to $11.9 million for 2000. The effects of lower average borrowings outstanding and lower interest rates during 2001 were offset by the write-off of $1.5 million of previously deferred debt issuance costs in November 2001 in conjunction with the amendment to our credit facility effected in connection with the sale of TPD Assets. Our effective interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2001 was 7.7%. As a result of decreasing interest rates during 2001, our interest rate swaps, which were at a fixed interest rate of 5.7%, resulted in additional interest expense to us during the year ended December 31, 2001. Our effective tax rate was 32.2% for 2001 compared to 34.0% for 2000. The effective rate for 2001 is lower than the statutory federal rate primarily because it includes a valuation allowance for tax benefits associated with the loss on the sale of the TPD Assets. The effective rate for 2000 reflects the recognition of a tax benefit from exiting the Central European home canning test market.
  • 17. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources During 2002, we made the following changes to our capital resources in connection with the financing of the Acquisition: completed an offering of $150 million of 93⁄4% senior subordinated notes (‘‘Notes’’) to qualified institutional buyers in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, which were later wholly exchanged pursuant to an offering for 93⁄4% senior subordinated notes which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (‘‘New Notes’’); in conjunction with the Notes, entered into a $75 million interest rate swap to receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a variable rate of interest based upon LIBOR; refinanced our existing indebtedness with a new $100 million five-year senior secured credit facility, which included a $50 million term loan facility and a $50 million revolving credit facility (‘‘New Credit Agreement’’); and entered into $15 million of seller debt financing. 15 PG. The Notes were issued at a discount such that we received approximately $147.7 million in net proceeds. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2012, however, on or after May 1, 2007, we may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time at a redemption price ranging from 100% to 104.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any. Prior to May 1, 2005, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain public equity offerings at a redemption price of 109.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any. Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 9.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, with the first payment having occurred on November 1, 2002. During December 2002, the Company completed an offering to the holders of the Notes to exchange the Notes for the New Notes. The New Notes are substantially similar to the Notes except that certain mandatory redemption provisions and the transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes are not applicable to the New Notes. In conjunction with the Notes, on April 24, 2002, we entered into a $75 million interest rate swap (‘‘Initial Swap’’) to receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a variable rate of interest based upon LIBOR. The Initial Swap had a maturity date that was the same as the Notes. Interest was payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing on November 1, 2002. The initial effective rate of interest that we established on this swap was 6.05%. This contract was considered to be an effective hedge against changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligation for both tax and accounting purposes. Effective September 12, 2002, we entered into an agreement, whereby we unwound the Initial Swap and contemporaneously entered into a new $75 million interest rate swap (‘‘Replacement Swap’’). The Replacement Swap has the same terms as the Initial Swap, except that we will pay a variable rate of interest based upon 6 month LIBOR in arrears. The spread on this contract is 470 basis points. Based upon this contract, we paid an effective interest rate of 6.32% on November 1, 2002. In return for unwinding the Initial Swap, we received $5.4 million in cash proceeds, of which $1 million related to accrued interest that was owed to us. The remaining $4.4 million of proceeds will be amortized over the remaining life of the Notes as a credit to interest expense and is included in our consolidated balance sheet as an increase to the value of the long-term debt. Such amortization amount offsets the increased effective rate of interest that we pay on the Replacement Swap. We have continued to accrue interest on the Replacement Swap at a 6.32% effective rate for the remainder of 2002. The Replacement Swap is also considered to be an effective hedge against changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligation for both tax and accounting purposes. The fair market value of the interest rate swap as of December 31, 2002 was approximately $2.4 million and is included as an asset within other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding offset to long-term debt. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the Replacement Swap, a large financial institution, however, we do not anticipate non-performance by the other party.
  • 18. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) The New Credit Agreement matures on April 24, 2007. The revolving credit facility and the term loan facility bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate pursuant to an agreed formula or (ii) a Base Rate equal to the higher of (a) the Bank of America prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus .50%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% for Eurodollar Rate loans and from .75% to 1.5% for Base Rate loans. The New Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on the conduct of our business, including, among other things restrictions, generally, on: incurring debt; making investments; exceeding certain agreed upon capital expenditures; creating or suffering liens; completing certain mergers; consolidations and sales of assets and, with permitted exceptions, acquisitions; 16 PG. declaring dividends; redeeming or prepaying other debt; and certain transactions with affiliates. The New Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain certain financial covenants. During 2002, we incurred costs in connection with the issuance of the Notes, the New Notes and the New Credit Agreement of approximately $7.4 million. The seller debt financing for the Acquisition consists of a non-interest bearing note in the principal amount of $10 million that is due on March 31, 2003 and a note in the principal amount of $5 million, bearing interest at 5%, which is due on April 24, 2004. For accounting purposes, we have imputed an interest rate of 5% on the $10 million non-interest bearing note. Until it was replaced by the New Credit Agreement on April 24, 2002, our senior credit facility, as amended (‘‘Old Credit Agreement’’), provided for a revolving credit facility of $40 million and a term loan which amortized periodically as required by the terms of the agreement. Interest on borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement’s term loan and the revolving credit facilities were based upon fixed increments over adjusted LIBOR or the agent bank’s alternate borrowing rate as defined in the agreement. The agreement also required the payment of commitment fees on the unused balance. During the first quarter of 2002, approximately $38 million of tax refunds we received were used to repay a portion of the outstanding amounts under the Old Credit Agreement. In May 1999, we entered into a three-year interest rate swap with an initial notional value of $90 million. The swap effectively fixed the interest rate on approximately 60% of our term debt at a maximum rate of 7.98% for the three-year period. The swap matured and was terminated in March 2002. As of December 31, 2002, we had $47.5 million outstanding under the term loan facility of the New Credit Agreement, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.3%. As of December 31, 2002, we had not drawn down any of the $50 million available under the revolving credit facility of the New Credit Agreement, although we have used approximately $4.2 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. See ‘‘Recent Developments’’ below, for a discussion of the recent amendment to our New Credit Agreement. As a result of the losses arising from the sale of the TPD Assets, we recovered in January 2002 approximately $15.7 million of federal income taxes paid in 1999 and 2000 by utilizing the carryback of a tax net operating loss generated in 2001. On March 9, 2002, The Job Creation and Workers Assistance Act of 2002 was enacted which provides, in part, for the carryback of 2001 net operating losses for five years instead of the previous two year period. As a result, we filed for an additional refund of $22.8 million, of which $22.2 million was received in March 2002 and the remainder was received in April 2002.
  • 19. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) increased to approximately $101.6 million at December 31, 2002 from approximately $8.0 million at December 31, 2001 due primarily to: the working capital of the acquired home vacuum packaging business; a lower amount of current portion of debt and increased cash on hand amounts caused by our favorable operating results and the new financing relationships discussed above; and the receipt of $22.3 million of tax refunds which had not been included in working capital in 2001. Cash flow generated from operations, excluding net income tax refunds was approximately $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Capital expenditures were $9.3 million in 2002 compared to $9.7 million for 2001 and are largely related to maintaining facilities, tooling projects, improving manufacturing efficiencies and a portion of the costs of the installation of new packaging lines for the branded consumables segment. As of December 31, 2002, we had capital expenditure commitments in the aggregate for all our segments of approximately $3.9 million, of which $2.5 million relates to the completion of the new packaging lines for the branded consumables segment. As of December 31, 2002, our home vacuum packaging segment had committed to purchase $18.5 million of 17 PG. inventory from various vendors in the year 2003. Additionally, as of December 31, 2002, our other segment had forward buy contracts for 2003 to purchase zinc ingots in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.5 million, which are expected to be used in operations in 2003. We believe that cash generated from our operations and our availability under our senior credit facility, are adequate to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may raise additional capital from time to time to take advantage of favorable conditions in the capital markets or in connection with our corporate development activities. The following table includes aggregate information about our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2002 and the periods in which payments are due. Certain of these amounts are not required to be included in our consolidated balance sheet: Payments due by period (in millions) Less than 1-3 4-5 After Total 1 Year Years Years 5 Years Debt (1) $212.5 $ 16.3 $ 25.0 $ 21.2 $150.0 Operating Leases 16.1 5.6 8.4 2.1 — Unconditional Purchase Obligations 24.9 24.9 — — — Other Non-current Obligations 2.8 1.8 1.0 — — Total Contractual Cash Obligations $256.3 $ 48.6 $ 34.4 $ 23.3 $150.0 (1) The debt amounts are based on the principal payments that will be due upon their maturity and exclude approximately $6.6 million of non-debt balances arising from the interest rate swap transactions described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Commercial commitments are items that we could be obligated to pay in the future: As of December 31, 2002, we had $4.2 million in standby and commercial letters of credit that all expire in 2003; In connection with the Acquisition, we may be obligated to pay an earn-out in cash or our common stock of up to $25 million in 2005, provided that certain earnings performance targets are met; and In connection with a contract we have entered into to acquire additional intellectual property, we may be obligated to pay up to $7.5 million between 2003 and 2009, providing certain contractual obligations, including the issuance of patents amongst other things, are satisfied. These amounts are not required to be included in our consolidated balance sheet.
  • 20. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Recent Developments In January 2003, we filed a shelf registration statement, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) on January 31, 2003. This shelf registration statement is intended to facilitate our access to growth capital for future acquisitions and allows us to sell over time up to $150 million of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, or any combination of these securities in one or more separate offerings in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of the sale. On February 7, 2003, we completed our acquisition of the business of Diamond Brands, Incorporated, and its subsidiaries (‘‘Diamond Brands’’), a manufacturer and distributor of kitchen matches, toothpicks and retail plastic cutlery under the Diamond® and Forster® trademarks, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The purchase price of this transaction was approximately $86 million in cash, net of cash on hand at Diamond Brands, paid at closing and a deferred payment in the amount of $6 million payable in cash or our common stock, at our election, on or before August 7, 2003. In connection with this acquisition, we amended our New Credit Agreement, increasing our term loan facility by $10 million and our revolving loan facility by $20 million. We used cash on hand and draw downs under our debt facilities to finance the transaction. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $1.5 million for an escrow deposit and expenses related to the Diamond 18 PG. Brands acquisition had been capitalized and included in our balance sheet. Following this acquisition and the effectiveness of our amendment, we had outstanding $57.5 million under our term loan facility and $14 million under our revolving credit facility. After taking account of the outstanding amount and issued letters of credit, we had approximately $45.8 million of availability remaining under the revolving credit agreement. Critical Accounting Policies Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The following list of critical accounting policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and/or require management’s significant judgments and estimates: Revenue recognition and product returns We recognize revenue when title transfers. In most cases, title transfers at the time product is shipped to customers. We allow customers to return defective or damaged products as well as certain other products for credit, replacement, or exchange. Our revenue is recognized as the net amount to be received after deducting estimated amounts for product returns, discounts, and allowances. We estimate future product returns based upon historical return rates and our judgment. If these estimates do not properly reflect future returns, they could be revised. Accounts receivable We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate or our judgment regarding their financial condition was to change negatively, additional allowances may be required resulting in a charge to income in the period such determination was made. Conversely, if the financial condition of our customers were to improve or our judgment regarding their financial condition was to change positively, a reduction in the allowances may be required resulting in an increase in income in the period such determination was made. Inventory We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about
  • 21. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required resulting in a charge to income in the period such determination was made. Conversely, if actual market conditions are more favorable than those projected by us, a reduction in the write down may be required resulting in an increase in income in the period such determination was made. Deferred tax assets We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made. 19 PG. Intangible assets We have significant intangible assets on our balance sheet that include goodwill, trademarks and other intangibles fair valued in conjunction with acquisitions. The valuation and classification of these assets and the assignment of amortizable lives involves significant judgments and the use of estimates. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment also requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Our assets are tested and reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis under the established accounting guidelines. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations. Contingencies We are involved in various legal disputes in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Environ- mental Protection Agency has designated our Company as a potentially responsible party, along with numerous other companies, for the clean up of several hazardous waste sites. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes our Company is currently involved in will require material capital or operating expenditures or will otherwise have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or competitive position of our Company. It is possible, that as additional information becomes available, the impact on our Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect. New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. We applied the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. We have performed the required tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets and, based on the results, have not recorded any charges related to the adoption of and subsequent conformity with SFAS No. 142. In 2001 and 2000, we recorded goodwill amortization of $5.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This standard superceded Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and provided a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
  • 22. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) disposed of. The new standard also superceded the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 with regard to reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business and required expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred. SFAS No. 144 was effective for our business beginning with the first quarter of 2002 and its adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Recision of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2000. SFAS No. 145 revises the criteria for classifying the extinguishment of debt as extraordinary and the accounting treatment of certain lease modifications. SFAS No. 145 is effective in fiscal 2003 and we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In 2003, we will conform with the requirements of SFAS No. 145 in our Selected Financial Data disclosure in connection with our early extinguishment of debt that occurred in 1999. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 provides guidance on the timing of the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The new guidance requires costs associated with exit or disposal activities to be recognized when incurred. Previous guidance required recognition of costs at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal 20 PG. plan. The provisions of the statement are to be adopted prospectively for exit activities after December 31, 2002. Although SFAS No. 146 may impact the accounting for costs related to exit or disposal activities that we may enter into in the future, particularly the timing of recognition of these costs, the adoption of the statement will not have an impact on our present financial condition or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The additional disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As provided for in SFAS No. 148, we have elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for stock options. Forward-Looking Statements From time to time, we may make or publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, and similar matters. Such statements are necessarily estimates reflecting management’s best judgment based on current information. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such statements are usually identified by the use of words or phrases such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘planned,’’ ‘‘outlook’’ and ‘‘goal.’’ Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, our actual results could differ materially. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in forward-looking statements. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, the risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of our business include the following: Our significant indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health, and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the New Notes and the New Credit Agreement; We will require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control; Reductions, cancellations or delays in customer purchases would adversely affect our profitability; We may be adversely affected by the financial health of the U.S. retail industry;
  • 23. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) We may be adversely affected by the trend towards retail trade consolidation; Sales of some of our products are seasonal and weather related; Competition in our industries may hinder our ability to execute our business strategy, sustain profitability, or maintain relationships with existing customers; If we fail to develop new or expand existing customer relationships, our ability to grow our business will be impaired; Our operations are subject to a number of Federal, state and local environmental regulations; We may be adversely affected by remediation obligations mandated by applicable environmental laws; We depend on key personnel; We enter into contracts with the United States government and other governments; Our operating results can be adversely affected by changes in the cost or availability of raw materials; 21 PG. We may have difficulty in integrating acquired businesses, which may interrupt our business operations; Continuation of the United States penny as a currency denomination; Our business could be adversely affected because of risks which are particular to international operations; We depend on our patents and proprietary rights; We may be adversely affected by problems that may arise between certain of our vendors, customers, and transportation services that we rely on and their respective labor unions that represent certain of their employees; Certain of our employees are represented by labor unions; and Any other factors which may be identified from time to time in our periodic Commission filings and other public announcements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statement, we do not intend to update forward-looking statements. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk In general, business enterprises can be exposed to market risks including fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency values, and interest rates that can affect the cost of operating, investing, and financing. The Company’s exposures to these risks are low. The majority of the Company’s zinc business is conducted on a tolling basis whereby customers supply zinc to the Company for processing, or supply contracts provide for fluctuations in the price of zinc to be passed on to the customer. The Company’s plastic consumables business purchases resin from regular commercial sources of supply and, in most cases, multiple sources. The supply and demand for plastic resins is subject to cyclical and other market factors. With many of our customers, we have the ability to pass through price increases with an increase in our selling price and certain of our customers purchase the resin used in products we manufacture for them. The Company, from time to time, invests in short-term financial instruments with original maturities usually less than fifty days. The Company is exposed to short-term interest rate variations with respect to Eurodollar or Base Rate on its term and revolving debt obligations and 6 month LIBOR in arrears on its interest rate swap. The spread on the interest rate swap is 470 basis points. Settlements on the interest rate swap are made on May 1 and November 1, with the first one having been made on November 1, 2002. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the swap, a large financial institution, however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the other party.
  • 24. Jarden Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Changes in Eurodollar or LIBOR interest rates would affect the earnings of the Company either positively or negatively depending on the changes in short-term interest rates. Assuming that Eurodollar and LIBOR rates each increased 100 basis points over period end rates on the outstanding term debt and interest rate swap, the Company’s interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively. The amounts were determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on the Company’s borrowing cost, short-term investment rates, interest rate swap and estimated cash flow. Actual changes in rates may differ from the assumptions used in computing this exposure. The Company does not invest or trade in any derivative financial or commodity instruments, nor does it invest in any foreign financial instruments. 22 PG.
  • 25. Jarden Corporation Report of Independent Auditors Board of Directors and Shareholders Jarden Corporation and Subsidiaries We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jarden Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 23 PG. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Jarden Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
