SAMSONITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General

A. Business

        The principal activity of Samsonite Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") is the manufacture and distribution of luggage, casual bags, business cases and travel related products throughout the world, primarily under the Samsonite® and American Tourister® brand names and other owned and licensed brand names. The principal customers of the Company are department/specialty retail stores, mass merchants, catalog showrooms and warehouse clubs. The Company also sells its luggage and other travel related products through its Company-owned stores. In addition, the Company licenses its trademarks for distribution of fashion oriented clothing and designs and distributes footwear products in Europe, Asia and the United States. Subsequent to the Company's fiscal 2003 third quarter, the Canadian molding operation was sold.

B. Interim Financial Statements

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position as of October 31, 2002 and results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2002 and 2001. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002.

C. Use of Estimates

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

D. Per Share Data

        The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 requires the disclosure of "basic" earnings per share and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased for potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and their equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method.

        Income (loss) from continuing operations before extraordinary item per common share and net income (loss) per share for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 and the nine months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 is computed based on a weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period of 19,865,573 and 19,818,543, and 19,861,690 and 19,799,606, respectively. Basic earnings per share and earnings per share—assuming dilution are the same for the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 because of the antidilutive effect of common stock equivalents when there is a net loss to common stockholders. There are options to purchase 1,829,918 and 2,233,274 shares outstanding at October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

E. Royalty Revenues

        The Company licenses its brand names to certain unrelated third parties as well as to certain of its foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures. Net sales include royalties earned of $14,234,000 and $16,833,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $5,073,000 and $4,771,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

F. Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications were made to the consolidated financial statements for prior periods to conform to the October 31, 2002 presentation.

G. Derivative Financial Instruments

        The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), and its corresponding amendments under SFAS No. 138. SFAS 133 requires the Company to measure all derivatives at fair value and to recognize them in the consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability, depending on the Company's rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the current period.

        The Company enters into derivative transactions to hedge interest rates on floating rate debt obligations and forecasted foreign currency transactions. These derivatives are classified as cash flow hedges. The Company also enters into derivative transactions to reduce exposure to the effect of exchange rates on the earnings results of foreign operations (primarily the effect of changes in the euro exchange rate on the results of the Company's significant European operations). These transactions are not allowed hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133; the Company records these instruments at fair market value and records realized and unrealized gains in Other Income—Expense—Net.

        Net gains or losses on interest rate hedges are recorded in interest expense when reclassified to earnings. Net gains or losses on hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions are reclassified to revenues or cost of sales depending on the type of transaction being hedged. Net gains or losses on cash flow hedges are reclassified from other comprehensive income as the underlying hedged transactions occur. At October 31, 2002, cash flow hedges for forecasted foreign currency transactions extend until January 2003. The estimated amount of net gains from interest rate and foreign currency hedges expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is $720,000, net of taxes. The amount ultimately reclassified into earnings will be dependent on the effect of changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates over the next 12 months.

2. Inventories

        Inventories consisted of the following:

3. Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

4. Intangible Assets

        Effective February 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 141 and SFAS 142. SFAS 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. It also specifies the types of acquired intangible assets that are required to be recognized and reported separate from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. There was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS 142. Net loss and loss per share for the three and nine month period ended October 31, 2001, adjusted to exclude amortization expense for goodwill and intangibles no longer amortized under SFAS 142, is as follows:
