RIVER HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2002

1. Financial Statements. River Holding Corp. ("Holding") is a holding company
with no other operations than those of its majority-owned subsidiary, Hudson
Respiratory Care Inc. (the "Company"). The condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein have been prepared by Holding, without audit, and
include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2002, the results of
operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
June 30, 2001 and statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June
30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although Holding believes that the disclosures in such financial
statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the
accompanying unaudited condensed, consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with Holding's 2001 audited financial statements and the
notes thereto included in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of
operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be achieved for a full year.

Management Plans to Improve Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management believes that Holding's continuation as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations on a timely basis, to comply with the terms and covenants of its
financing agreements, to obtain additional financing as may be required and,
ultimately to attain profitable operations. As further discussed in Note 5, on
May 14, 2002, the Company reached an agreement with its senior lenders to amend
the Credit Facility to bring the Company into compliance with all terms and
provisions of this agreement. As part of this amendment, the Company issued $20
million in new senior term notes with warrants to Holding's majority
shareholder.

In addition, management has taken numerous actions to improve the operating
performance of the Company. Such actions included: the elimination of a
distribution warehouse, elimination of non-essential management personnel,
reductions in inventory levels, aggressive collection of accounts receivable and
elimination of individual products that did not attain acceptable levels of
profitability.

Management believes that the results of its plans and the agreement reached
and funding received on May 14, 2002 discussed above will enable the Company to
meet its ongoing obligations on a timely basis and continue operations for at
least the next twelve months.

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

6




Effective January 1, 2001, Holding adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS 133") as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No.
138. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments. The statement requires that every derivative
instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value, and that changes in the derivative's fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on
Holding's financial statements.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). This Statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased
Enterprises." All business combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be
accounted for using one method, the purchase method. Any acquisitions made by
Holding after June 2001 will be recorded in accordance with SFAS 141.

Effective January 1, 2002, Holding adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes
APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." This pronouncement addresses, among
other things, how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for
after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Goodwill
is no longer amortized and is assessed at least annually for impairment using
a fair value methodology. Holding stopped amortizing goodwill, effective January
1, 2002, and as a result no charge for goodwill amortization is included in
the 2002 financial statements. Holding completed its transitional impairment
test of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 in the second quarter of 2002, which
indicates no impairment of existing goodwill. Net loss for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001, excluding amortization of goodwill would have been
(in thousands) $5,104 and $16,567 compared to $7,653 and $22,352, respectively.
The change in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is the result of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Holding operates in two reporting
units; North American operations (also the guarantor) and international
operations (also the non-guarantor). These two reporting units are identical to
the operating segments described in Note 3.

Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It requires entities to record
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period
in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity
capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period,
and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related
asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation
for its recorded amount or incurs gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS 143 is
effective January 1, 2003. Holding does not expect the adoption of SFAS 143 to
have a material impact on Holding's financial statements.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This
statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations
- - Reporting the Effects of a Disposal of a Segment of a Business and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion).
SFAS No. 144 was effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not
have a material impact on Holding's financial statements.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 requires that a liability
for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a

7




liability for an exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of
an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also establishes that the
liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Holding will
adopt the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities that are
initiated after December 31, 2002.

2. Inventories. Inventories consisted of the following (amounts in
thousands):

3. Segment Data and Subsidiaries Guaranteeing Debt. The Company presents
segment information externally based on how management uses financial data
internally to make operating decisions and assess performance. The company has
two operating segments: United States, or guarantor, and international or
non-guarantor. The non-guarantor subsidiaries consist principally of Hudson RCI
AB and subsidiaries (whose operations are principally international). Under SFAS
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," the
Company's operating segments are the same as its reporting segments.

The Company is the 100% owner of certain subsidiaries that do not guarantee
the Company's senior subordinated notes and certain bank debt. The following
tables disclose required consolidating financial information for guarantor,
including the Company, and non-guarantor subsidiaries (amounts in thousands):

4. Commitments and Contingencies. Holding is not a party to any material
lawsuits or other proceedings, including suits relating to product liability and
patent infringement. While the results of Holding's other existing lawsuits and
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that
the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of Holding.

5. Credit Facility. On May 14, 2002, the Company reached an agreement with its
senior lenders to amend the Credit Facility to bring the Company into compliance
with all terms and provisions of this agreement. As part of this amendment, the
Company issued $20 million in new senior term notes with warrants to Holding's
majority stockholder, $12.0 million of which was exchanged for bank term loans
previously acquired. These notes bear interest at 12% annually with interest and
principal due upon maturity on December 31, 2004. Proceeds from the senior notes
were used to pay interest due under the Subordinated Notes, fund expenses
associated with the amendment and provide funds for ongoing working capital
purposes. Under the terms of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the lenders
and the Company agreed to (i) waive all existing events of default; (ii) extend
the final maturity of the Credit Facility to June 30, 2004; (iii) amend existing
amortization to $3.8 million in 2002, $9.3 million in 2003 and $37.0 million in
2004; and (iv) amend future financial covenants.

6. Additional Paid In Capital. In conjunction with the debt restructuring the
Company issued to Holding's majority stockholder warrants to purchase 20 million
shares of common stock the warrants are exercisable upon issuance for $1.00 per
share and expire on May 15, 2009. The warrants were valued at $750,000, based on
the Black-Sholes valuation model. The fair value of these warrants was estimated
at the date of grant with the following assumptions; 5-year risk-free interest
rate of 5.25%; no dividend yield; an average volatility factor of 50.0%; and
weighted average expected lives of 7 years. The warrant value was deferred and
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

7. Hudson RCI AB Bank Facility. As of June 30, 2002, Holding's wholly-owned
Swedish subsidiary, Hudson RCI AB, was not in compliance with certain financial
covenants of the Hudson RCI AB bank facility. Holding and Hudson RCI AB are
currently in discussions with the lender and expect to receive a waiver curing
all defaults (see the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of Item 2). Due
to the uncertainty of receiving this waiver from the lenders, Holding has
classified the entire Hudson RCI AB bank facility as a current liability on the
consolidated balance sheet. The Credit Facility and Senior Subordinated notes
are not cross-defaulted to the Hudson RCI AB bank facility.

HUDSON RESPIRATORY CARE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A MAJORITY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF RIVER HOLDING CORP.)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2002

1. Financial Statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and include
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2002, the results of
operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
June 30, 2001 and statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June
30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in such
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, the accompanying unaudited condensed, consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 audited
financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Form 10-K filed with
the SEC. The results of operations for the three and six-month period ended June
30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for a full
year.

Management Plans to Improve Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management believes that the Company's continuation as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations on a timely basis, to comply with the terms and covenants of its
financing agreements, to obtain additional financing as may be required and,
ultimately to attain profitable operations. As further discussed in Note 5, on
May 14, 2002, the Company reached an agreement with its senior lenders to amend
the Credit Facility to bring the Company into compliance with all terms and
provisions of this agreement. As part of this amendment, the Company issued $20
million in new senior term notes with warrants to the Company's majority
shareholder.

In addition, management has taken numerous actions to improve the operating
performance of the Company. Such actions included: the elimination of a
distribution warehouse, elimination of non-essential management personnel,
reductions in inventory levels, aggressive collection of accounts receivable and
elimination of individual products that did not attain acceptable levels of
profitability.

Management believes that the results of its plans and the agreement reached
and funding received on May 14, 2002 discussed above will enable the Company to
meet its ongoing obligations on a timely basis and continue operations for at
least the next twelve months.

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS 133") as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No.
138. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative

20




instruments. The statement requires that every derivative instrument be recorded
in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value,
and that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The adoption of this
new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). This Statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased
Enterprises." All business combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be
accounted for using one method, the purchase method. Any acquisitions made by
the Company after June 2001 will be recorded in accordance with SFAS 141.

Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes
APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." This pronouncement addresses, among
other things, how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for
after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Goodwill
is no longer amortized and is assessed at least annually for impairment using a
fair value methodology. The Company stopped amortizing goodwill, effective
January 1, 2002, and as a result, no charges for goodwill amortization are
included in the 2002 financial statements. The Company completed its
transitional impairment test of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 in the second
quarter of 2002, which indicates no impairment of existing goodwill. Net loss
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, excluding amortization of
goodwill would have been (in thousands) $4,540 and $15,437 compared to $5,819
and $18,682, respectively. The change in goodwill for the six months ended June
30, 2002 is the result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The
Company operates in two reporting units; North American operations (also the
guarantor) and international operations (also the non-guarantor). These two
reporting units are identical to the operating segments described in Note 3.

Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It requires entities to record
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period
in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity
capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period,
and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related
asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation
for its recorded amount or incurs gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS 143 is
effective January 1, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 143
to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the
accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of a Disposal of a Segment of a
Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously
defined in that Opinion). The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 requires that a liability
for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined
in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit
plan. SFAS 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured
and recorded at fair value. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 146
for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

3. Segment Data and Subsidiaries Guaranteeing Debt. The Company presents
segment information externally based on how management uses financial data
internally to make operating decisions and assess performance. The company has
two operating segments: United States, or guarantor, and international or
non-guarantor. The non-guarantor subsidiaries consist principally of Hudson RCI
AB and subsidiaries (whose operations are principally international). Under SFAS
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," the
Company's operating segments are the same as its reporting segments.

The Company is the 100% owner of certain subsidiaries that do not guarantee
the Company's senior subordinated notes and certain bank debt. The following
tables disclose required consolidating financial information for guarantor,
including the Company, and non-guarantor subsidiaries (amounts in thousands):
