NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Jarden Corporation (the “Company” or “Jarden”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, normal and recurring and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.

Unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximates carrying value. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the filing date (October 30, 2009) of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $5.6 and $5.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $19.1 and $16.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued authoritative accounting guidance (“Guidance”) in September 2006 that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Effective January 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of this Guidance related to financial assets and liabilities, as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis. These provisions were applied prospectively and did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company (see Note 8 for disclosures related to this Guidance for financial assets and liabilities). Effective January 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of this Guidance related to other non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and these provisions will be applied prospectively for the fair value measurement of non-financial assets.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Guidance that significantly changes the financial accounting and reporting for noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. The provisions of this Guidance, in part, establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary, clarify that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, establish a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation; require that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and require expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. This Guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this Guidance by the Company, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Guidance that requires that a company with derivative instruments disclose information to enable users of the financial statements to understand: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. As such, this Guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using

(Unaudited)—(Continued)

 

derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This Guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since this Guidance requires only additional disclosures concerning derivatives and hedging activities (see Note 7 for disclosures related to the adoption of this Guidance), the adoption of this Guidance by the Company, effective January 1, 2009, did not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In December 2008, the FASB issued Guidance that requires expanded fair value disclosures of plan assets on an annual basis. The Company would be required to separate plan assets into the three fair value hierarchy levels and provide a rollforward of the changes in fair value of plan assets classified as Level 3. The disclosures about plan assets required by this Guidance are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Since this Guidance requires only additional disclosures concerning plan assets, the adoption of this Guidance by the Company will not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Guidance that requires publicly-traded companies to provide disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements. Since this Guidance requires only additional disclosures concerning the financial instruments, the adoption of this Guidance by the Company, effective September 30, 2009, did not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Guidance that establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of financial statements. This Guidance is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods or fiscal years ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this Guidance by the Company, effective September 30, 2009, did not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB confirmed that the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) will become the single official source of authoritative GAAP (other than guidance issued by the SEC) for all non-governmental entities. The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, supersedes current authoritative guidance and is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP and it is not expected to result in a change in accounting practice for the Company.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued Guidance that in part, amends derecognition guidance, eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entities and requires additional disclosures. This Guidance is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of this Guidance to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Guidance that amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The provisions of this Guidance require entities to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The Guidance also requires an enterprise to assess on an ongoing basis to determine whether it is a primary beneficiary or has an implicit responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed. This Guidance is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for the Company beginning in 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of this Guidance to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, which requires companies to allocate revenue in multiple-element arrangements based on an element’s estimated selling price if vendor-specific or other third-party evidence of value is not available. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application is permitted. The Company does not that expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In April 2009, the Company completed a registered public offering for $300 aggregate principal amount of 8% senior unsecured notes due May 2016 (the “Notes”) and received approximately $283 in net proceeds. These net proceeds were used to prepay approximately $283 of the outstanding principal on the Company’s term loans under its senior credit facility. Beginning in May 2013, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at specified redemption prices ranging from 100% to 104% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Notes are subject to a number of restrictive and financial covenants that, in part, limit the use of proceeds and limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, create liens on assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, pay dividends on or repurchase the Company’s common stock, prepay debt subordinate to the Notes or dispose of assets.

In July 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the maturity of the securitization facility for another year until July 1, 2010. Following the renewal, the borrowing rate margin is 2.25% and the unused line fee is 1.125% per annum.

In August 2009, the Company completed an extension of the revolving credit portion (the “Revolving Facility”) of the Company’s senior credit facility (the “Facility”), which was allowed for under an April 2009 amendment, to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility in an aggregate amount of $100 to January 2012. Additionally, the then existing $185 of availability maturing in January 2010 was reduced to $1.0. Following this amendment, the gross available amount under the Revolving Facility is $101.

In August 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the Facility that extended the maturity date of $600 principal amount of existing term loans from January 2012 to January 2015 through the creation of a new Term B4 tranche of the Facility, allowed for an increase in the maximum borrowings under the securitization facility from $250 to $400 and increased the Company’s general debt basket from $75 to $150. The Term B4 loans bear interest of LIBOR plus 3.25%.

At September 30, 2009, the fair value of the 8% senior notes and 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes, which are based upon quoted market prices, was approximately $308 and $632, respectively.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time the Company enters into derivative transactions to hedge its exposures to interest rate, foreign currency rate and commodity price fluctuations. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company will enter into fixed and floating rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest. Floating rate swaps are used, depending on market conditions, to convert the fixed rates of long-term debt into short-term variable rates. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce the Company’s risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. Interest rate swap contracts are therefore used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision.

In October 2009, the Company terminated an interest rate swap and received $5.0. This swap, which was entered into in June 2009, was a $300 notional amount interest rate swap that exchanged fixed rate interest for floating rate LIBOR plus a spread of 373 basis points. This floating rate swap was designated as a fair value hedge against $300 of principal on the 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 for the remaining life of these notes. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on this swap were offset by a fair value adjustment in the underlying debt. The gain resulting from the termination of this swap is deferred and will be amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017.

In March 2009, the Company entered into a $250 notional amount swap agreement that exchanges a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for a 1.88% fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement. This swap matures on December 31, 2011. The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest (LIBOR) payments.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $650 of notional amount outstanding in swap agreements that exchange variable interest rates (LIBOR) for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements and are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments. The effective portion of the after tax fair value gains or losses on these swaps is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).

At September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding a $40 notional amount swap agreement that exchanges a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement that is not designated as an effective hedge for accounting purposes and the fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). This swap, which matures June 30, 2010, was assumed in a prior year acquisition.

Cross-Currency Contracts

The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge foreign currency risk on certain U.S. dollar-based debt of foreign subsidiaries. At September 30, 2009, the Company had a $22.7 notional amount cross-currency swap outstanding that exchanges Canadian dollars for U.S. dollars. This swap exchanges the variable interest rate bases of the U.S. dollar balance (3-month U.S. LIBOR plus a spread of 175 basis points) and the equivalent Canadian dollar balance (3-month CAD BA plus a spread of 192 basis points). This swap is designated as fair value hedge on a U.S. dollar-based term loan of a Canadian subsidiary. Changes in the fair market value of this cross-currency swap are recorded as an offset to the corresponding long-term debt.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts (“foreign currency contracts”) to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of AOCI and is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statement of operations as the underlying hedged item. At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $354 notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding approximately $60 notional amount of foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through 2011. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

Commodity Contracts

From time to time the Company enters into commodity-based derivatives in order to mitigate the impact that the rising price of these commodities has on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials. These derivatives provide the Company with maximum cost certainty, and in certain instances allow the Company to benefit should the cost of the commodity fall below certain dollar levels.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value and requires that the assets or liabilities carried at fair value be disclosed by the input level under which they were valued. The input levels defined under current Guidance are as follows:

 

  Level 1:   Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
  Level 2:   Observable inputs other than defined in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
  Level 3:   Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data.

The following tables summarize assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Derivative assets and liabilities relate to interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts. Fair values are determined by the Company using market prices obtained from independent brokers or determined using valuation models that use as their basis readily observable market data that is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including independent pricing services, brokers and market transactions. Available-for-sale securities are valued-based on quoted market prices in actively traded markets.

9. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company or certain of its subsidiaries have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) pursuant to the federal Superfund Act

and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in addition to laws and regulations regarding labeling and packaging of products and the sales of products containing certain environmentally sensitive materials.

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, the majority of which relate to divested operations and sites. Various of the Company’s subsidiaries have been identified by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a PRP pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites (collectively, the “Environmental Sites”). The Company has established reserves to cover the anticipated probable costs of investigation and remediation, based upon periodic reviews of all sites for which they have, or may have, remediation responsibility. The Company accrues environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated and their responsibility for the liability is established. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of formal commitment to an investigation plan, completion of a feasibility study or a commitment to a formal plan of action. The Company accrues its best estimate of investigation and remediation costs based upon facts known at such dates and because of the inherent difficulties in estimating the ultimate amount of environmental costs, which are further described below, these estimates may materially change in the future as a result of the uncertainties described below. Estimated costs, which are based upon experience with similar sites and technical evaluations, are judgmental in nature and are recorded at discounted amounts without considering the impact of inflation and are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in applicable laws or regulations, changes in available technologies and receipt by the Company of new information. It is difficult to estimate the ultimate level of future environmental expenditures due to a number of uncertainties surrounding environmental liabilities. These uncertainties include the applicability of laws and regulations, changes in environmental remediation requirements, the enactment of additional regulations, uncertainties surrounding remediation procedures including the development of new technology, the identification of new sites for which various of the Company’s subsidiaries could be a PRP, information relating to the exact nature and extent of the contamination at each Environmental Site and the extent of required cleanup efforts, the uncertainties with respect to the ultimate outcome of issues which may be actively contested and the varying costs of alternative remediation strategies.

Due to the uncertainty described above, the Company’s ultimate future liability with respect to sites at which remediation has not been completed may vary from the amounts reserved as of September 30, 2009.

The Company believes that the costs of completing environmental remediation of all sites for which the Company has a remediation responsibility have been adequately reserved and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. The Company believes that anticipated probable costs of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company and/or its subsidiaries face the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are therefore party to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to their products and incidental to its business. Annually, the Company sets its product liability insurance program which is an occurrence-based program based on the Company and its subsidiaries’ current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The Company’s product liability insurance program generally includes a self-insurance retention per occurrence.

Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by the Company with respect to pending and potential claims for all years in which the Company is liable under its self-insurance retention have been accrued as liabilities. Such accrued liabilities are based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into account prior experience, number of claims and other relevant factors); thus, the Company’s ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting liability are reviewed on a regular basis and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current operating results.

Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

In April 2009, the Company completed an equity offering of 12 million newly-issued shares of common stock at $17.50 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after the payment of underwriting discounts and other expenses of the offering, were approximately $203.

In November 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) in connection with its adoption of a Rights Agreement dated as of November 19, 2008 (the “Plan”), for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company on December 1, 2008 (the “Record Date”). Each share of common stock issued after the Record Date will be issued with an attached Right. The Rights had an original expiration date of November 19, 2011. In April 2009, the Board approved the early termination of the Plan effective November 18, 2009.

In July 2009, the Company granted 0.5 million stock options and 0.7 million restricted share awards in conjunction with its annual equity grant. The grant date fair value for the stock options was $9.91 per share with an aggregate fair value of $5.4 for the grant. The options vest ratably over a three year service period. The grant date fair value of the restricted share awards was $20.27 per share with an aggregate fair value of $14.0 for the grant. The restricted awards vest based on rendering an explicit service period and achievement of performance target.

In September 2009, the Company announced that the Board had decided to initiate a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share of the Company’s common stock or approximately $6.7 payable on October 30, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 1, 2009. The Company expects that the quarterly dividends going forward will be paid during the last week of October, January, April and July, and anticipates a total annual dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock. However, the actual declaration of any future cash dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates, will be subject to final determination by the Board each quarter after its review of the Company’s financial performance.

11. Earnings Per Share

Stock options and warrants to purchase 3.0 million and 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, had exercise prices that exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. As such, these share-based awards did not affect the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Capitalized Reorganization Costs

In connection with the acquisition of K2 Inc. (“K2”) in August 2007, management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of K2. These plans were contemplated at the time of acquisition and include, in part, the elimination of certain duplicative functions and vacating redundant facilities in order to reduce the combined cost structure of the Company. The capitalized costs incurred during 2008 primarily relate to workforce reductions associated with the elimination of duplicative functions and other exit costs resulting from the acquisition of K2 (the “Acquisition”). These costs are recognized as a liability assumed in the Acquisition and are included in the allocation of the cost to acquire K2 and are accrued within the Outdoor Solutions segment.

Outdoor Solutions Segment Reorganization Costs

During 2009, the Company initiated plans to rationalize the overall cost structure of the Outdoor Solutions segment through headcount reductions and facility consolidation. During 2007, the Company initiated plans to integrate certain businesses acquired from K2 and Pure Fishing. The plans include, in part, facility closings and headcount reductions. Employee termination charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 relate to the implementation of these initiatives.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Information

From time to time, the Company 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, the Company’s actual results could differ materially. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes 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. All statements addressing trends, events, developments, operating performance, potential acquisitions or liquidity that the Company anticipates or expects will occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in the Company’s Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a list of factors which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in the Company’s forward-looking statements and certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company’s businesses. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Market Overview

The Company operates primarily in the consumer products markets, which are generally affected by overall economic conditions. The Company’s results and activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been affected by the following macroeconomic factors:

 

   

Global economic weakness, a recessionary economy in the United States and the corresponding decline in consumer confidence and demand has negatively affected sales both domestically and internationally.

 

   

Less volatile commodities markets have resulted in lower input costs relative to last year, with commensurate pressure from customers to lower pricing.

Summary of Significant 2009 Activities

 

   

In April 2009, the Company completed an equity offering of 12 million newly-issued shares of common stock at $17.50 per share resulting in net proceeds of approximately $203 million.

 

   

In April 2009, the Company completed a registered public offering for $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8% senior unsecured notes due May 2016.

 

   

In August 2009, the Company completed an extension of the revolving credit portion of the Company’s senior credit facility, which was allowed for under an April 2009 amendment, that extended the maturity date of the revolving facility in an aggregate amount of $100 million to January 2012.

 

   

In August 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the Company’s senior credit facility. The amendment extended the maturity date of $600 million principal amount of existing term loans from January 2012 to January 2015.

 

   

The Company managed working capital to improve operating cash flows, with a particular focus on bringing inventory levels into line with lower sales.

 

   

As a result of the current macroeconomic conditions, the Company initiated cost containment efforts, with particular focus discretionary spending. These initiatives have resulted in an overall reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).

 

   

In September 2009, the Company announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) had decided to initiate a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share of the Company’s common stock staring in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Acquisitions

The Company has not completed a significant acquisition in over two years. To the extent the Company pursues future acquisitions, the Company intends to focus on businesses with product offerings that provide geographic or product diversification, or expansion into related categories that can be marketed through the Company’s existing distribution channels or provide us with new distribution channels for our existing products, thereby increasing marketing and distribution efficiencies. Furthermore, the Company expects that acquisition candidates would demonstrate a combination of attractive margins, strong cash flow characteristics, category leading positions and products that generate recurring revenue. The Company anticipates that the fragmented nature of the consumer products market will continue to provide opportunities for growth through strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete an acquisition(s) in any given year or that any such acquisition(s) will be significant or successful. The Company will only pursue a candidate when it is deemed to be fiscally prudent and that meets the Company’s acquisition criteria. The Company anticipates that any future acquisitions would be financed through any combination of cash on hand, operating cash flow, availability under our existing credit facilities and new capital market offerings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company completed three tuck-in acquisitions that by nature are complementary to the Company’s core businesses and from an accounting standpoint were not significant. The Company did not complete any acquisitions during 2008. The tuck-in acquisitions did not have a material impact on the period over period comparisons discussed below, nor are they expected to have a material impact on future period comparisons.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $104 million, or 7.2%, to $1.4 billion versus the same prior year period. The overall decrease in net sales was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $22 million) and 27.4% ($22.9 million) decline in sales in the Process Solutions segment, due primarily to a decline in the pass through pricing of commodities, and lower coinage and OEM sales, which is typical in a recessionary environment. Net sales in the Outdoor Solutions segment decreased $54.4 million, or 8.8%, primarily as the result of unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $9 million) and declines in domestic and international sales resulting from overall economic weakness and lack of strong hurricane related sales in 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. Net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment decreased $32.4 million or 6.0%, which was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $10 million) and declines in domestic and international sales in certain categories resulting from overall economic weakness and the timing of certain orders, partially offset by increased demand in the small appliance and certain personal care and wellness categories, which is primarily due to gains in category space at certain major retailers along with new product placements. Net sales in the Branded Consumables segment increased $1.1 million or 0.5%, which was mainly due to improved sales of Ball® and Kerr® fresh preserving products, which has been driven in part, by the consumer trend of looking to save money, combined with the Company’s marketing efforts celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Ball® jar, partially offset by continued weakness at retail, primarily at domestic home improvement retailers resulting from overall economic weakness.

Cost of sales decreased $85.3 million to $955 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 versus the same prior year period. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 70.6% and 71.4%, respectively. The improvement is primarily due to lower commodity costs in 2009 versus the same prior year period, maintaining inventory at levels consistent with our working capital goals and the realization of cost reductions from prior integration and ongoing continuous improvement programs.

Table of Contents

SG&A decreased $21.2 million, or 8.2%, to $238 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 versus the same prior year period. The improvement is primarily due to the aforementioned cost containment efforts (see Summary of Significant 2009 Activities) initiated by the Company as a result of the current macroeconomic conditions. SG&A as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 17.6% and 17.8%, respectively.

Operating earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2009 in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $2.5 million or 4.1%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of lower SG&A ($23.0 million) and a $2.5 million decrease in reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, net (collectively “reorganization costs”), partially offset by the gross margin impact of lower sales. Operating earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2009 in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $3.3 million or 4.3%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of improved gross margins, which is primarily due to lower commodity and transportation costs in 2009 versus 2008. Operating earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2009 in the Branded Consumables segment increased $2.4 million or 8.2%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of the gross margin impact of an increase in sales and a decrease in reorganization costs ($2.5 million), partially offset by an increase in SG&A ($3.5 million). Operating earnings in the Process Solutions segment for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $0.3 million or 6.0%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of the gross margin impact of lower sales, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A ($2.0 million) and a decrease on reorganization costs ($0.7 million).

Reorganization costs, decreased by $8.5 million to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 versus the same prior year period. These charges relate to plans initiated for 2009 to rationalize the overall cost structure of the Outdoor Solutions segment.

Net interest decreased by $8.8 million to $35.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 versus the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for 2009 to 5.4% from 6.2% in 2008. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate is due to a decline in short-term variable interest rates (LIBOR) combined with the maturity of $725 million notional amount of fixed rate interest rate swaps during 2009.

The Company’s reported tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 38.4% and 36.3%, respectively. The difference from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 results principally from the U.S. tax expense of $4.0 million recognized on the undistributed foreign income. There was no material difference from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased $9.9 million to $73.7 million versus the same prior year period. The increase in net income was primarily due to the aforementioned decreases in SG&A expense and interest expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 diluted earnings per share were $0.83, due to the increase in the diluted weighed average shares outstanding in 2009 resulting from the issuance of 12 million shares of common stock from the Company’s April 2009 equity offering (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” hereafter).

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $273 million, or 6.8%, to $3.8 billion versus the same prior year period. The overall decrease in net sales was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $125 million), a 25.6% ($67.6 million) decline in sales in the Process Solutions segment, due primarily to a decline in the pass through pricing of commodities, and lower coinage and OEM sales, which is typical in a recessionary environment and declines in domestic and international sales resulting from overall macroeconomic weakness. Net sales in the Outdoor Solutions segment decreased $192 million or 9.7%, primarily as the result of unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $73 million) and declines in domestic and international sales resulting from overall economic weakness. Net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment decreased $23.9 million or 1.9%, which was primarily due unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $35 million) and decreased demand and internationally, primarily in Latin America, resulting from overall economic weakness, partially offset by increased demand in the small appliance and certain personal care and wellness categories, which is primarily due to gains in category space at

certain major retailers and certain marketing efforts. Net sales in the Branded Consumables segment decreased $2.4 million or 0.4%, which is mainly due to unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $13 million), continued weakness at retail, primarily at domestic home improvement retailers resulting from overall economic weakness, partially offset by improved sales of Ball® and Kerr® fresh preserving products, which has been driven in part, by the consumer trend of looking to save money, combined with the Company’s marketing efforts celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Ball® jar.

Cost of sales decreased $194 million to $2.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the same prior year period. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 72.2% and 72.1%, respectively. The impact due to the sell through, primarily during the first quarter of 2009, of higher cost inventory which was built in 2008 during the unprecedented rise in commodity prices was offset by lower commodity prices in 2009, maintaining inventory at levels consistent with our working capital goals and the realization of cost reductions from prior integration and ongoing continuous improvement programs.

SG&A decreased $68.4 million, or 8.8%, to $707 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, versus the same prior year period. The improvement is primarily due to the aforementioned cost containment efforts initiated by the Company as a result of the current macroeconomic conditions. SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 18.8% and 19.2%, respectively. The improvement is primarily due to the aforementioned cost containment efforts.

Operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 in the Outdoor Solutions segment decreased $14.4 million or 8.3%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of the gross margin impact of lower sales, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A ($54.0 million) and a decrease in reorganization costs ($1.5 million). Operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $12.0 million or 8.5%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of lower SG&A ($19.8 million), partially offset by increased reorganization costs ($3.2 million). Operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 in the Branded Consumables segment increased $8.4 million or 14.6%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of the improved gross margins and a decrease in reorganization costs ($6.0 million). Operating earnings in the Process Solutions segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $2.7 million or 15.6%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of the gross margin impact of lower sales, partially offset by a decrease of SG&A ($3.8 million) reorganization costs ($2.8 million).

Reorganization costs decreased by $12.1 million to $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the same prior year period. The majority of these charges ($19.3 million) relate to plans initiated for 2009 to rationalize the overall cost structure of the Outdoor Solutions segment. The Company also recorded reorganization costs ($3.2 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 within the Consumer Solutions segment for headcount reductions related to cost reduction initiatives.

Net interest decreased by $22.6 million to $110 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for 2009 to 5.4% from 6.3% in 2008. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate is due to a decline in short-term variable interest rates (LIBOR) combined with the maturity of $725 million notional amount of fixed rate interest rate swaps during 2009.

The Company’s reported tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 38.1% and 38.7%, respectively. The difference from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 results principally from the U.S. tax expense of $5.8 million recognized on the undistributed foreign income. The difference from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 results principally from U.S. tax expense of $3.6 million recognized on undistributed foreign income.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased $16.0 million to $128 million versus the same prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 diluted earnings per share were $1.53 versus $1.46 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in net income was primarily due to the aforementioned decreases in SG&A expense and interest expense, partially offset the increase in the diluted weighed average shares outstanding in 2009 resulting from the issuance of 12 million shares of common stock from the equity offering in April 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and the availability under the senior credit facility and the credit facilities of certain foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009, provide sufficient liquidity to support working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, completion of current and future reorganization and acquisition-related integration programs, pension plan contribution requirements and debt obligations for the foreseeable future.

 

27


Table of Contents

During the third quarter, the Company improved its liquidity as a result of the following:

 

   

The Company completed an extension of the revolving credit portion (the “Revolving Facility”) of the Company’s senior credit facility (the “Facility”), which was allowed for under an April 2009 amendment, that extended the maturity date of the Revolving Facility in an aggregate amount of $100 million to January 2012. Additionally, the then existing $185 million of availability maturing in January 2010 was reduced to $1.0 million. Following the amendment, the gross available amount under the Revolving Facility is $101 million.

 

   

The Company entered into an amendment to the Facility that extended the maturity date of $600 million principal amount of existing term loans from January 2012 to January 2015 through the creation of a new Term B4 tranche of the Facility, allowed for an increase in the maximum borrowings under the securitization facility from $250 million to $400 million, and increased the Company’s general debt basket from $75 million to $150 million. The Term B4 loans bear interest of LIBOR plus 3.25%

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $348 million and $54.7 million, respectively. The improvement is due primarily to favorable working capital movements primarily resulting from disciplined inventory management and improved cash collections; and improved operating results, which is primarily due to improved gross margins, lower SG&A and lower interest expense.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $11.6 million versus net cash provided by financing activities of $57.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The change is primarily due to the incremental net change in short-term debt on a year-over-year basis ($206 million) and payments on long-term debt in excess of proceeds from issuance of long-term debt ($58.1 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, partially offset by the issuance of common stock, net of transaction fees, during 2009 ($203 million).

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $101 million versus $118 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, capital expenditures were $76.2 million versus $70.0 million for the same prior year period. The Company has historically maintained capital expenditures at less than 2% of net sales and expects that capital expenditures for 2009 will be consistent with this threshold. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, net cash used for the acquisition of businesses and earnout payments was $13.7 million and $40.8 million, respectively.

Dividends

In September, 2009, the Company announced that the Board had decided to initiate a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share of the Company’s common stock or approximately $6.7 million payable on October 30, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 1, 2009. The Company expects that the quarterly dividends going forward will be paid during the last week of October, January, April and July, and anticipates a total annual dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock. However, the actual declaration of any future cash dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates, will be subject to final determination by the Board each quarter after its review of the Company’s financial performance.

Other

Actual returns on plan assets for the Company’s U.S. pension plans may differ from expected long-term rate of return due to the current adverse conditions in the global securities markets. Continued actual returns below the expected rate may impact the amount and timing of future required contributions to these plans. The actual amount of future contribution will depend, in part, on long-term actual return on assets and future discount rates.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $643 million. At September 30, 2009, there was no amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility. At September 30, 2009, net availability under the Facility was approximately $75 million, after deducting approximately $26 million of outstanding letters of credit. The Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused balance of the Revolving Facility. At September 30, 2009, the annual commitment fee on unused balances was 0.375%.

In April 2009, the Company completed a registered public offering for $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8% senior unsecured notes due May 2016 (the “Notes”) and received approximately $283 million in net proceeds. These net proceeds were used to prepay approximately $283 million of the outstanding principal on the Company’s term loans under its senior credit facility. Beginning in May 2013, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at specified redemption prices ranging from 100% to 104% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Notes are subject to a number of restrictive and financial covenants that in part, limit the use of proceeds, limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, create liens on assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, pay dividends on or repurchase the Company’s common stock, prepay debt subordinate to the Notes, or dispose of assets.

The Company maintains a $250 million receivables purchase agreement (the “Securitization Facility”), which is subject to annual renewal by both parties, bears interest at a margin over the commercial paper rate. Under the Securitization Facility, substantially all of the Company’s Outdoor Solutions, Consumer Solutions and Branded Consumables domestic accounts receivable are sold to a special purpose entity, Jarden Receivables, LLC (“JRLLC”), which is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company. JRLLC funds these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement, secured by the accounts receivable. There is no recourse to the Company for the unpaid portion of any loans under this loan agreement. To the extent there is availability, the Securitization Facility will be drawn upon and repaid as needed to fund general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2009, the Securitization Facility was had outstanding borrowings totaling $248 million. In July 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility that extended it for another year until July 1, 2010. Following the renewal, the borrowing rate margin is 2.25% and the unused line fee is 1.125% per annum. The Securitization Facility is reflected as a short-term borrowing on the Company’s balance sheet because of its annual term.

Certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company maintain working capital lines of credits with their respective local financial institutions for use in operating activities. At September 30, 2009, the aggregate amount available under these lines of credit totaled approximately $130 million.

The Company was not in default of any of its debt covenants at September 30, 2009.

The Company maintains cash balances which at times may be significant, at various international subsidiaries that may be subject to certain availability restrictions. The most onerous of these restrictions are in Venezuela, where transfers of funds out of the country are subject to restrictions, such as obtaining approval from the government and/or the currency exchange board. During 2009, these restrictions have become more prohibitive. At September 30, 2009, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $92 million that was subject to availability restrictions that was converted at an official exchange rate. However, if in the future the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiary converts the cash balances into U.S. dollars using the more unfavorable parallel exchange rate, it could result in currency exchange losses that may be material to the Company’s results of operations. The Company does not rely on its international cash balances to fund operations outside of the country or geographic region where the cash was generated. Furthermore, inflation in Venezuela has continued to increase over the past few years, and it is possible that Venezuela will be designated as a highly inflationary economy by December 31, 2009. If Venezuela is designated as a highly inflationary economy and there is a devaluation of the official exchange rate, earnings could be materially affected. For purposes of determining whether Venezuela is considered a highly inflationary economy, the Company uses a blend of the National Consumer Price Index (subsequent to January 1, 2008) and Consumer Price Index for Caracas and Maracaibo (prior to January 1, 2008) in its computation of the three year cumulative inflation rate.

In April 2009, the Company completed an equity offering of 12 million newly-issued shares of common stock at $17.50 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after the payment of underwriting discounts and other expenses of the offering, was approximately $203 million.

Risk Management

From time to time the Company enters into derivative transactions to hedge its exposures to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.

The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company uses fixed and floating rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest. Floating rate swaps are used, depending on market conditions, to convert the fixed rates of long-term debt into short-term variable rates. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce the Company’s risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. Interest rate swap contracts are therefore used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision.

Cash Flow Hedges

During March 2009, the Company entered into a $250 million notional amount swap agreement that exchanges a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for a 1.88% fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement. This swap matures on December 31, 2011. The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest (LIBOR) payments.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $650 million of notional amount outstanding in swap agreements that exchange variable interest rates (LIBOR) for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements and are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest

rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments. The effective portion of the after tax fair value gains or losses on these swaps is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair market value of these swaps was a net liability of $18.5 million at September 30, 2009.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding a $40 million notional amount swap agreement that exchanges a variable interest rate (LIBOR) for fixed rate of interest over the term of the agreement that is not designated as an effective hedge for accounting purposes and the fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations. This swap matures in June 2010 and has a fixed rate of interest of 4.79%. The fair market value of this swap was a liability of $1.3 million at September 30, 2009.

Fair Value Hedges

In October 2009, the Company terminated an interest rate swap and received $5.0 million. This swap, which was entered into in June 2009, was a $300 million notional amount interest rate swap that exchanged a fixed rate interest for floating rate LIBOR plus a 373 basis point spread. This floating rate swap was designated as a fair value hedge against $300 million of principal on the 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 for the remaining life of these notes. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on this swap were offset by a fair value adjustment in the underlying debt. The gain resulting from the termination of this swap is deferred and will be amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. The fair market value of this swap was an asset of $4.7 million at September 30, 2009.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had a $22.7 million notional amount cross-currency swap outstanding that exchanges Canadian dollars for U.S. dollars. This swap exchanges the variable interest rate bases of the U.S. dollar balance (3-month U.S. LIBOR plus a spread of 175 basis points) and the equivalent Canadian dollar balance (3-month CAD BA plus a spread of 192 basis points). This swap is designated as fair value hedge on a U.S. dollar-based term loan of a Canadian subsidiary. The fair market value of this cross-currency swap at September 30, 2009, was a liability of $1.8 million, with a corresponding offset to long-term debt.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts (“foreign currency contracts”) to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statement of operations as the underlying hedged item.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $354 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales and mature through 2011. At September 30, 2009, the fair market value of these contracts was a net liability $7.9 million.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding approximately $60 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges and have maturity dates through 2011. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations. The fair market value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of $0.9 million at September 30, 2009.

Commodity Derivatives

From time to time the Company enters into commodity-based derivatives in order to mitigate the impact that the rising price of these commodities has on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials. These derivatives provide the Company with maximum cost certainty, and in certain instances allow the Company to benefit should the cost of the commodity fall below certain dollar levels. These derivatives are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and as of September 30, 2009, their aggregate fair market value was a net asset of $0.7 million.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company or certain of its subsidiaries have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, that as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in addition to laws and regulations regarding labeling and packaging of products and the sales of products containing certain environmentally sensitive materials.

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, the majority of which relate to divested operations and sites. Various of the Company’s subsidiaries have been identified by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a PRP pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites (collectively, the “Environmental Sites”). The Company has established reserves to cover the anticipated probable costs of investigation and remediation, based upon periodic reviews of all sites for which they have, or may have, remediation responsibility. The Company accrues environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated and their responsibility for the liability is established. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of formal commitment to an investigation plan, completion of a feasibility study or a commitment to a formal plan of action. The Company accrues its best estimate of investigation and remediation costs based upon facts known at such dates and because of the inherent difficulties in estimating the ultimate amount of environmental costs, which are further described below, these estimates may materially change in the future as a result of the uncertainties described below. Estimated costs, which are based upon experience with similar sites and technical evaluations, are judgmental in nature and are recorded at discounted amounts without considering the impact of inflation and are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in applicable laws or regulations, changes in available technologies and receipt by the Company of new information. It is difficult to estimate the ultimate level of future environmental expenditures due to a number of uncertainties surrounding environmental liabilities. These uncertainties include the applicability of laws and regulations, changes in environmental remediation requirements, the enactment of additional regulations, uncertainties surrounding remediation procedures including the development of new technology, the identification of new sites for which various of the Company’s subsidiaries could be a PRP, information relating to the exact nature and extent of the contamination at each Environmental Site and the extent of required cleanup efforts, the uncertainties with respect to the ultimate outcome of issues which may be actively contested and the varying costs of alternative remediation strategies.

Due to the uncertainty described above, the Company’s ultimate future liability with respect to sites at which remediation has not been completed may vary from the amounts reserved as of September 30, 2009.

The Company believes that the costs of completing environmental remediation of all sites for which the Company has a remediation responsibility have been adequately reserved and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. The

Company believes that anticipated probable costs of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company and/or its subsidiaries face the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are therefore party to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to their products and incidental to its business. Annually, the Company sets its product liability insurance program which is an occurrence-based program based on the Company and its subsidiaries’ current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The Company’s product liability insurance program generally includes a self-insurance retention per occurrence.

Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by the Company with respect to pending and potential claims for all years in which the Company is liable under its self-insurance retention have been accrued as liabilities. Such accrued liabilities are based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into account prior experience, number of claims and other relevant factors); thus, the Company’s ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting liability are reviewed on a regular basis and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current operating results.

Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
