Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates:The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Note 2: Shipping and Handling Costs

Diluted per share information is calculated by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net income and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common stock consists of employee and director stock options and restricted stock. Restricted stock is excluded from the basic per share calculation and is included in the diluted per share calculation when doing so would not be anti-dilutive.

The purpose of the move was to provide a more efficient manufacturing layout, as well as capacity for continued growth and the ultimate consolidation with distribution. The costs recorded related to the impairment of assets that would no longer be utilized and were not salable, as well as costs for lease and related payments still due on the former facility. The bulk of the remaining costs related to headcount reductions totaling 2948 positions located in Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Switzerland and Australia, with the reduction in Japan reductions being the most significant as a result of the consolidation of distribution facilities of the Company’s two Japanese operating entities.

In 2006, re-engineering and impairment charges of $2.1$0.6 million for the quarter and $2.7 million year-to-date were primarily related to severance costs incurred to reduce headcount by approximately 170 in the Company’s Canada, Belgium, Argentina and Philippines operations along with $0.3 million of the second quarter charges related to asset impairment in the Philippines manufacturing operations. A majority of the reductions were in the Philippines and were the result of the Company’s decision to stop manufacturing there as well as the elimination of administrative positions.

The balances, included in accrued liabilities, related to re-engineering and impairment charges as of March 31,June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, were as follows (in millions):

Note 9: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company markets its products in almost 100 countries and is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company’s local manufacturing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments to hedge certain of its exposures and to manage the foreign exchange impact to its financial statements. At its inception, a derivative financial instrument used for hedging is designated as a fair value, cash flow or net equity hedge.

During the first quarter of 2007, in order to protect the value of a portion of the Company’s euro-based cash flows expected during 2007, the Company purchased a series of put options, giving the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell 34.1 million euros in exchange for U.S. dollars. The put options expire on various dates throughout 2007 and have a weighted average strike price of about 1.28 dollars per euro. The Company paid premiums for these put options totaling $0.5 million. Although the Company considers these put options to be a hedge of its exposure to changes in the value of the euro, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133.Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). Accordingly, the value of the options are being marked to market at the end of each quarter of 2007, with the change in value recorded as a component of other income or expense, as applicable. The maximum net expense that will be recognized is the $0.5 million premium already paid, and these premiums are being recorded as other expense during 2007.paid. In the firstsecond quarter ofand year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007 $0.3$0.2 million and $0.5 million of expense was recorded based on the change in the market value of the options. DuringIn the first quarter, an optionhalf of 2007, options to sell euro and buy approximately $4.8$13.6 million expired unexercised.unexercised, of which $8.8 million expired in the second quarter.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company entered into agreements to hedge a portion of its Japanese yen net equity and euro net equity through a series of new forward contracts. At initiation, the dollar value of the amounts hedged were $50 millionCompany sold Japanese yen and bought $50.0 million and sold euro buying forward $300 million euro. Along with themillion. These equity hedge, these contractshedges also synthetically convert this portioneffectively converted portions of the Company’s U.S. dollar term loan borrowingsdebt obligations to Japanese yen and euro where more of its operating cash flow is generated. The initial forward contracts will mature in 2007 and 2008 and will be settled in cash such that the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the yen and euro versus the U.S.

dollar. It is currently expected that the Company will enter into new contracts as the existing contracts reach maturity and over time, receipts or payments under the hedges are expected to be offset by changes in the value of operating cash flows generated in Japanese yen and in euro. In July 2007, the Company’s Japanese yen position was reduced by $16.6 million.

The Company’s credit agreement requires it to maintain at least 40 percent of its outstanding borrowings at a fixed rate for a period of at least 3 years in the future. Beginning in December 2005 and January 2006, the Company effectively converted $375$375.0 million of its floating rate borrowings to fixed rate debt through interest rate swaps. The swaps callswap agreements called for the Company to receive a floating rate equal to the 3 month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate and pay a weighted average fixed rate of 4.81 percent. The swapsswap agreements combined with a contractual 150 basis point spread givesgave the Company an all-in effective rate of 6.3 percent on these borrowings. The swap agreements were scheduled to

expire in 2009 through 2012. In order to maintain compliance with the 3-yearthree-year requirement, subsequent toin the end of the firstsecond quarter, the Company terminated three swaps totaling a notional value of $175 million and purchased three new swaps with the same notional value that will expire in 2012. Following this action, all of the swaps expire in 2011 and 2012. A gain of $0.5 million was realized on the terminations and will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the term debt. The new agreements carry fixed rates of between 4.94 and 5.06 percent and result in a weighted average fixed rate of 4.90 percent for the full $375 million. Including the 150 basis point spread, the new all inclusive rate is 6.4 percent. These agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges with interest payments designed to match the interest payments under the term loans due in 2012. The impact of these agreements is recorded in interest expense.

The fair value hedging relationships the Company has entered into have been highly effective and the ineffectiveness recognized in other expense for the firstsecond quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and AprilJuly 1, 2006 waswere immaterial.

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of 6.7 billion Japanese yen that matured on January 24, 2007. The Company paid a fixed rate payment of 0.63 percent semi annually and received a Japanese yen floating rate based on the LIBOR rate. This agreement converted the variable interest rate implicit in the Company’s rolling net equity hedges in Japan to a fixed rate. While the Company believed that this agreement provided a valuable economic hedge against rising interest rates in Japan, it did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.133. Accordingly, changes in the market value of the swap were recorded as a component of interest expense as incurred. Over the life of the swap, any cumulative gains or losses since the inception of the agreement were reduced to zero. The cumulative loss that existed at the end of 2006 that was fully recognized as a reduction of interest expense in the first quarter of 2007 was immaterial. The change inAs of July 1, 2006, the cumulative loss was approximately $0.2 million and the impact to net interest expense for the firstsecond quarter ofand year-to-date periods ended July 1, 2006 was also immaterial.

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from firm purchase commitments or anticipated transactions, and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The Company generally enters into cash flow hedge contracts for periods ranging from three to twelve months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive loss, and is reclassified into earnings as the transactions being hedged are recorded. Consequently, the balance at the end of each reporting period in other accumulated comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. The associated asset or liability on the open hedge is recorded in other current assets or accrued liabilities as applicable. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had no net balance in other accumulated comprehensive loss related to cash flow hedges and at December 30, 2006, the balance was $(0.2) million net of tax. The changes in the balance in other accumulated comprehensive loss resulting from cash flow hedges were net gains of $0.2$0.3 million and $2.2$2.9 million for the first quarteryear-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements). The ineffective portion in other expense was immaterial.

In addition to fair value and cash flow hedges, the Company uses financial instruments such as forward contracts to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations, and classifies these as net equity hedges. For the firstsecond quarter of 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded, in comprehensive income, net losses associated with these hedges of $4.5$2.2 million and $2.6$8.5 million, respectively, and net losses of $6.7 million and $11.1 million in the first half of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Due to the permanent nature of the investments, the Company does not anticipate reclassifying any portion of this amount to the income statement in the next 12 months.

While the Company’s hedges of its equity in its foreign subsidiaries, its cash flow hedges, and its fair value hedges of non-permanent intercompany loansbalance sheet risks all work together to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains

or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled. The U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company’s most significant net open hedge positions as of March 31,June 30, 2007 were to sell euro, $253.5$232.3 million; Swiss francs, $51.1$56.2 million and Japanese yen, $71.4$65.9 million and to buy Mexican pesos, $29.5$31.9 million. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, for example, an appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash inflow for the Company at settlement with the opposite result in agreements to buy foreign currencies for U.S. dollars. The above noted notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company’s outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing at the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2007, the Company was in a net payable position of approximately $0.2$0.9 million related to its currency hedges. When including the impact of the forward points in this analysis, the Company was in a net receivable position of approximately $1.0 million from the total portfolio of forward contracts.

Note 10: Debt

At March 31,June 30, 2007, the Company had $314.9$319.0 million of unused lines of credit, including $186.5$186.7 million under the committed, secured $200$200.0 million revolving line of credit and $128.4$132.3 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world. The Company satisfies most of its short-term financing needs utilizing its committed, secured revolving line of credit. The agreement contains covenants customary for similarly rated companies when the agreement was executed. While the covenants are restrictive and could inhibit the Company’s ability to borrow, pay dividends, or make capital investments in its business, this is not currently expected to occur.

The primary financial covenants are a fixed charge coverage ratio, a leverage ratio and an adjusted net worth requirement. The covenant restrictions include adjusted covenant earnings and net worth measures that are non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and exclude unusual, non-recurring gains, certain non-cash charges and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. Discussion of these measures is presented here to provide an understanding of the Company’s ability to borrow and to pay dividends in light of the covenants and caution should be used when comparing this information with that of other companies.

The Company’s fixed charge ratio is required to be in excess of 1.05 through September 29, 2007 at which point the requirement rises to 1.20 and then increases annually after the end of each fiscal third quarter until it reaches 1.50 after the end of the third quarter of 2010. The leverage ratio must be below 3.50 through the third quarter of 2007. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2007 the required ratio declines to 3.25 through the third quarter of 2008 and to 2.75 and 2.50 in the fourth quarters of 2009 and 2010, respectively, and remains at 2.50 for the remaining term of the credit agreement. The fixed charge and leverage ratio covenants are based upon trailing four quarter amounts. The Company’s fixed charge and leverage ratios for the 12 months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 were 1.4101.41 and 2.9342.73, respectively.

The adjusted net worth requirement was $353.5$387.0 million as of March 31,June 30, 2007. The requirement increases quarterly by 50 percent of the Company’s consolidated net income. There is no adjustment for losses. The Company’s adjusted consolidated net worth at the end of the first2007 second quarter 2007 was $410.9$448.4 million.

Tupperware® brand products are guaranteed against chipping, cracking, breaking or peeling under normal non-commercial use of the product. The cost of replacing defective products is not material.

Note 13: Income Taxes

Effective with the beginning of fiscal 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing that a more likely than not threshold be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. It further provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the adoption, a charge of $2.2 million to increase reserves for uncertain tax positions was recognized with a corresponding decrease in the 2007 opening retained earnings balance.

In May 2007, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 amends FIN 48 to provide guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial adoption of FIN 48 and therefore was adopted by the Company in the beginning of fiscal 2007. The adoption of FSP FIN 48-1 did not have an impact on the accompanying financial statements.

Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties were $7.9$8.3 million and $7.6 million as of the end of the first quarter ofJune 30, 2007 and the beginning of fiscal 2007, respectively. In the first quarter of 2007, total interestInterest and penalties included in the provision for income taxes was $0.3 million.totaled $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

As of June 30, 2007 and the beginning of fiscal 2007, the Company had $37.9 million ofCompany’s gross unrecognized tax benefits, allbenefit was $40.0 million and $37.9 million, respectively. The entire amount of whichthe unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would be recorded as a component ofimpact the provision for income taxes. There was no material change in the balance in the first quarter of 2007. effective tax rate.

The Company operates globally and it or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examination in the following major jurisdictions: for U.S. federal tax for years before 2002, France (2004), Australia and Italy (2002), Mexico (2001), South Korea (2000), Japan (1999), Germany (1998), and India (1997), with limited exceptionsexceptions.

Based on the number of periods currently under examination, the Company would expect some of the audits to conclude within the next 12 months. However, based on their current status, the finalization process in several foreign jurisdictions, which could include legal proceedings, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of such events, if any, on its uncertain tax positions recorded as of March 31,June 30, 2007. Further, it is reasonably possible that the amount of uncertain tax positions could materially change within the next 12 months based on the passage of statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions. However, itthe Company is not currently able to estimate any impact of such an event.

The slight increaseeffective tax rate for the second quarter of 2007 was 19.0%, a decrease compared with the 2006 second quarter rate of 20.3%. The decline in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 versus 2006 was due primarily to an approximate $1.0 million adjustment based on better information available upon the filing of certain foreign tax returns. This adjustment is fully reflected in the first quarter of 2007. This impact, combined with a shift in the mix of taxable income, wasas well as tax planning activities related to the repatriation of certain foreign cash balances partially offset by deferred tax adjustments resulting from changes in state and foreign tax laws. There was a slight decrease in the 2006 effect of recording a valuation allowanceyear-to-date effective tax rate with 21.3% for certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards for which realization was no longer considered more likely than not.2007 compared with 21.4% in 2006. The effective tax rates are below the U.S. statutory rate reflecting the availability of excess foreign tax credits as well as lower foreign effective tax rates.

Note 14: Non-Cash Activities

In the first quarterhalf of 2007, the Company acquired $1.0$9.0 million of property, plant and equipment via a capital lease arrangement. Additionally, during the first quartershalf of 2007 and 2006, employees of the Company settled outstanding loans by returning Company stock worth $0.6$0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, that was acquired with the proceeds of those loans.

Note 15: New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,TheFair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In JuneSeptember 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issueissued SFAS No. 06-3,How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). EITF 06-3 clarifies that the scope of this Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and indicates that the income statement presentation on either a gross basis or a net basis of the taxes within the scope of the Issue is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, an enterprise should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented. The consensus is effective, through retrospective application, for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted the provisions of this consensus with no material impact.

As of June 30, 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-2,Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits (“EITF 06-2”). EITF 06-2 clarifies that for employers offering a compensated sabbatical leave program that (a) requires the completion of a requisite service period and (b) for which the benefit does not increase for additional years of service should record compensation cost over the requisite service period. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted the provisions of this consensus with no material impact.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted this standard with no material impact.

On September 15, the Board issued FAS 157,Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to do so for recognition or disclosure purposes. The standard provides a common definition of fair value and is intended to make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable, as well as improving disclosures about those measures. The standard is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. This standard formalizes the measurement principles to be utilized in determining fair value for purposes such as derivative valuation and impairment analysis. The Company is still evaluating the implications of this standard, but does not currently expect it to have a significant impact.

In June 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-11,Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards, (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 06-11 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In June 2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3,Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities, (EITF 07-3). EITF 07-3 requires nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities to be deferred and capitalized until the related service is performed or goods are delivered. EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with earlier adoption not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-3 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

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

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended March 31,June 30, 2007 compared with the 13 and 26 weeks ended AprilJuly 1, 2006 and changes in financial condition during the 1326 weeks ended March 31,June 30, 2007.

The Company’s primary means of distributing its product is through independent sales organizations and individuals, which are also its customers in many cases. The majority of the Company’s products are in turn sold to end customers who are not members of the sales forces. The Company is largely dependent upon these independent sales organizations and individuals to reach end consumers and any significant disruption of this distribution network would have a negative financial impact on the Company and its ability to generate sales, earnings and operating cash flows. The Company’s primary business drivers are the size, activity and productivity of its independent sales organizations.

As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, effective with the appointment of Simon Hemus as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, a new position effective as of the beginning of 2007, the Company has reconfigured its beauty segments. It is now reporting its Fuller Cosmetics business in Mexico and BeautiControl North America business as Beauty North America. Fuller CosmeticsMexico was previously included in the International Beauty reportablereporting segment and BeautiControl North America was previously a separate reportable segment. The remaining businesses previously reported as International Beauty are now reported as the Beauty Other segment. Historical data has been reclassified to reflect this change.

Local currency net sales increased 8 percent for the quarter compared with the same period in 2006. The increase in net sales was a result of double digit increases in all segments. On a local currency basis,both Asia Pacific and Tupperware North America, had double digit increasesas well as a strong increase in Beauty North America and each of the beauty segments hada modest sales increases. Onlyincrease in Beauty Other. Sales in Europe also showed a slight decline in salesmodest increase for the quarter, reflectingdespite a decrease in Germany, which is the Company’s largest business in this segment. The increase in operatingOperating and net income wasalso showed significant growth during the second quarter compared with 2006, primarily a result ofdue to improvement in Asia Pacific, Tupperware North America and Beauty North America. Contributing to the increase for the second quarter was a $2.1 million gain from the sale of excess land in Australia and a decline in interest expense of $3.7 million versus last year.

Year-to-date local currency net sales increased 7 percent compared with the same period in 2006. The fluctuations were largely in line with those of the quarter. Operating and net income also showed substantial growth for the year-to-date period compared with prior year due to improvements in Asia Pacific, Tupperware North America and Beauty North America segments, except Europe as well asconsistent with the results for the quarter. In addition to the second quarter gain on the sale of land, the year-to-date results were impacted by a $2.5 million gain for an insurance settlement related to a 2006 fire in the fourth quarter of 2006, at the Company’s former manufacturing facility in Halls, Tennessee. These impacts were partially offset by an increase in unallocated expenses.

The Company’s balance sheet remained strong, showing only a small decrease in working capital as compared with the end of 2006, even after the impact of making a voluntary $25$68.2 million paymentof debt payments on itsthe Company’s outstanding term loans.loans in the first half of 2007. As a result, the Company closed the first quarterhalf of 2007 with a debt to total capital ratio of just under 61about 56 percent as compared with 63 percent at the end of 2006 and 6768 percent at

the end of 2006’s firstsecond quarter. Total capital is defined as total debt plus shareholders’ equity.

Asia Pacific increased significantly as result of strong increases inover last year with nearly every market.market contributing to the overall increase in sales. A strongsignificant increase in Tupperware North America was led by the United States business, which recorded its thirdfourth consecutive quarter of higher sales.sales resulting from a higher active sales force for the first time since 2002. Mexico was also a factor in the growth in sales for this segment with a significant increase over last year due to higher business-to-business sales as well as a strong increase in the core business. Beauty North America had modestAmerica’s sales growth ledincreased 9 percent compared with last year, primarily driven by Fuller Mexico’s strong increase.Mexico. Beauty Other also reported a modest improvement in sales for the quarter, as increases in all of the Company’s Central and South American businesses more than offset weaknesslower sales in most of the Company’s smaller beauty businesses. Sales in Europe also showed improvement in the second quarter.

The year-to-date fluctuations largely followed the same pattern as those of the quarter with Asia Pacific and Tupperware North America contributing strong growth for the first half of 2007 and increases in both beauty segments.

A more detailed discussion of the sales results for the Company’s reporting segments is included in the segment results section following.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company includes promotional costs in delivery, sales and administrative expense. As a result, the Company’s net sales may not be comparable with other companies that treat these costs as a reduction of revenue.

Re-engineering Costs

Refer to Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of re-engineering activities and related accruals.

Re-engineering costs for the second quarter and first half of 2007 totaled $0.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The Company’s $2.8 million of re-engineering costs in the first quarterhalf of the year were primarily for moving the Company’s BeautiControl North America manufacturing facility in Texas. This move was completed in the first quarter of 2007, and was undertaken to support expected growth in the business, as well as to allow for a more efficient consolidation of manufacturing and distribution activities in the future. The balanceremaining costs related to headcount reductions totaling 48 positions located in Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Switzerland and Australia, with Japan accounting for the majority of the costs were primarily a result ofresulting from the consolidation of the distribution facilities between the Company’s two operating companies in Japan and headcount reductions in Tupperware Mexico.that area.

In the second quarterhalf of 2007, the Company expects to incur slightly under $2between $6 to $7 million of costs related to small scale headcount reductions in sales and manufacturing operations.

Gross Margin

Gross marginmargins as a percentage of sales was 64.766.0 percent in the firstsecond quarter of 2007, and 65.0compared with 65.3 percent in the same period of 2006. The slight declineimprovement was primarily due to a resultfavorable mix of products sold by Tupperware North America, as well as improved capacity utilization from higher sales volume. Also contributing to the increase in margins for the quarter was Europe, with a favorable mix of products, and Beauty Other due to improved cost management in South America. The increase in these markets was partly offset by a slight decline in the Beauty North America business resulting from an unfavorable mix of products in the BeautiControl North America due to a higher proportion of sales made to support the sales force.force, as well as some promotional pricing to reduce inventory levels. The impact of an unfavorable mix of products sold in Asia Pacific primarilysegment was up slightly for the quarter.

For the year-to-date period, gross margins as a percentage of sales were 65.4 percent in Australia and Japan2007 compared with 65.1 percent in 2006.

The Europe and Beauty Other segment, offset by a decline in Beauty North America. The year-to-date fluctuations largely followed the same pattern as those of the quarter. The Asia Pacific and Europe segments were each about flat for the quarter.year-to-date period.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company includes costs related to the distribution of its products in delivery, sales and administrative expense. As a result, the Company’s gross margin may not be comparable with other companies that include these costs in costs of products sold.

Costs and Expenses

Delivery, sales and administrative expense (DS&A) declined as a percentage of sales to 56.4was approximately 55.2 percent for the firstsecond quarter of both 2007 compared with 56.9 percent inand 2006. The decrease was primarily related toIn the 2007 second quarter, the Company recognized less amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets acquired with the direct selling businesses of Sara Lee Corporation in December 2005. These intangible assets are primarily the value of acquired independent sales forces. The amortization is recorded to reflect the estimated turnover rates of the sales forces and was $3.3$3.4 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 as compared with $6.1 million in the same period of 2006. For the full year of 2007, the amortization is expected to be approximately $13.2$13.3 million versus approximately $24 million in 2006. This decline was partially offset by higher unallocated costs in 2007 resulting from an increase in incentive program accruals due to the Company’s favorable financial results. Also offsetting a portion of the lower amortization were higher promotional expenses, a higher provision for doubtful accounts and an accrual for non-income taxes recorded in the second quarter resulting from an audit in Europe.

For the year-to-date period, DS&A as a percentage of sales was approximately 55.8 percent for 2007 compared with 56.0 percent for the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily related to $5.5 million less in amortization expense as previously discussed in the quarter results. In addition to the items noted above affecting the second quarter, unallocated costs in the first half of 2007 were also negatively affected by the valuation of put options that the Company acquired early in the first quarter of 2007 to protect a portion of the Company’s expected European cash flows. As more fully discussed in the Market Risk section, these options had a total notional value of 34.1 million euro and a weighted average strike price of approximately 1.28 U.S. dollars to the euro at origination. They expire at various points during the year. Based on the rate at the expiration date of the option expiring in the first quarter, the Company did not exercise the option. The total cost of these options wasApproximately $0.5 million. Of this amount, $0.3 million was expensed in the first quarter andhalf of 2007 based on the remainder will be recognized as part of markingchange in the market value of the contracts to market during the remainder of 2007.options. Also contributing to the higher unallocated expense was the cost related to the new office of Chief Operating Officer as well as the timing of professional service costs related to income tax planning initiatives. Also offsetting a portion of the lower amortization was a higher provision for doubtful accounts, primarily in Europe.Officer.

Specific segment impacts are discussed in the segment results section.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was slightly lower in the firstsecond quarter and year-to-date periods of 2007 as compared with the 2006 period.same period in 2006. This reduction reflected a lower average debt level during the quarter2007, partially offset by lower interest income. AsAdditionally, as more fully discussed in the Market Risk section, in the latter part of the first quarter, the Company entered into euro net equity hedges for the equivalent of $300 million expiring at various points of 2007 and 2008 and a smaller amount of similar contracts denominated in Japanese yen expiring in 2008. In addition to hedging the Company’s equity exposure to the euro and Japanese yen falling in value versus the U.S. dollar, these contracts also synthetically convert this amount of the Company’s outstanding term debt from U.S. dollars to the euro and Japanese yen where the Company generates more of its cash flow.flows. As a result of relative interest rates among Europe, Japan and the United States, these contracts are expected to resultreduced interest expense by about $1.5 million in decreased interest expense.the second quarter and $2.0 million year-to-date.

The lower interest income reflectsreflected the absence of income earned on funds placed in escrow to discharge $100 million of notes that were due in October 2006 as part of financing the acquisition of Sara Lee CorporationsCorporation’s direct selling businesses. Since the notes were paid off from the escrowed funds at the due date, the escrow account was closed and no further interest income has been earned. For the full year, the Company expects net interest expense of about $44$40 million.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate for the firstsecond quarter of 2007 was 25.0 percent which was up slightly from19.0%, a decrease compared with the 23.1 percent2006 second quarter rate of 20.3%. The decline in the comparable 2006 period. The increaseeffective tax rate was due primarily to an approximately $1.0 million adjustment based on better information available upon the filing of certain foreign tax returns. This adjustment is fully reflected in the first quarter. This impact, combined with a shift in the mix of taxable income, wasas well as tax planning activities related to the repatriation of certain foreign cash balances, partially offset by deferred tax adjustments resulting from changes in state and foreign tax laws. There was a slight decrease in the 2006 effect of recording a valuation allowanceyear-to-date effective tax rate with 21.3% for certain foreign

The actual and projected effective tax rates are below the U.S. statutory rate reflecting the availability of excess foreign tax credits as well as lower foreign effective tax rates.

An effective tax rate in the low 20 percent range is expected for the full year. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the requirements of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1, which the Company implemented at the beginning of 2007, has clarified guidance surrounding the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions, including the timing and effective settlement of those adjustments. As such, it is reasonably possible that the effective tax rates in any individual quarter will vary from the full year expectation. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate what impact thatthis may have on any individual quarter.

Net Income

The substantial increase in net income for the quarter was largely due to profitstrong performance in the Company’s reporting segments of Asia Pacific and Tupperware North America and modest improvement in Beauty North America. Tupperware North America showed significant improvement in profit over last year resulting from strong sales volume and higher margins on a more favorable mix of products and improved capacity utilization from the reportingincrease in sales volume. Segment profit in Asia Pacific increased due to an increase in sales volume and lower amortization expense of definite-lived assets previously discussed. Lower amortization expense also contributed to the improved profit in the Beauty North America segment. The second quarter results in Europe were also positively impacted by foreign exchange changes, primarily due to a stronger euro. In addition to the operating results of the Company’s segments, exceptthe second quarter results were also affected by a $2.1 million gain recognized on the sale of excess land in Australia and lower interest expense offset by lower interest income compared with 2006 as previously discussed.

Similar to the quarter, the increase in net income for the year-to-date period was the result of strong performance in Asia Pacific and Tupperware North America as well as a slight increase in Beauty North America, offset by a decline in the Beauty Other segment. The fluctuations are largely in line with those noted for the quarter. The year-to-date results in Europe were relatively flat between periods due to lower sales and higher operating costs in Germany offset by a favorable foreign exchange impact due to a stronger euro. Also contributing to the increase in net income for the year-to-date period was the $2.1 million gain recognized from the land sale previously noted, a $2.5 million gain on the settlement of an insurance claim related to the Company’s former manufacturing facility in Halls, Tennessee. A fire occurred there in the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2006Tennessee and based on available information at the time, the Company recorded a $1.2 million charge related to this event in that quarter. The insurance claim has been recently settled and reflected higher proceeds than originally forecast resulting in the gain recorded this period. Partially offsetting these items were the previously discussed higher unallocated costs.lower interest expense offset by lower interest income compared with 2006.

International operations in the firstsecond quarter generated 8584 percent and 8483 percent of sales respectively in 2007 and 2006, respectively, and nearly all of the net segment profit in each period. For the year-to-date periods, international operations generated 84 percent of sales and nearly all of the net segment profit in both the 2007 and 2006 periods.

The Company generated 3537 percent of its firstsecond quarter 2007 sales from the sales of beauty products as compared with 3639 percent in the firstsecond quarter of 2006. For the year-to-date period of 2007, the Company generated 36 percent of sales from beauty products compared with 38 percent for the same period of 2006.

Segment Results

As previously discussed and more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the composition of its reportable beauty segments beginning in 2007. Historical data has been reclassified to reflect this change.

Local currency sales increased 2 percent in the second quarter due primarily to continued success in the key emerging markets of Russia, Turkey and Poland. As a group, these emerging markets grew 35 percent and contributed approximately 15 percent of the segment’s sales. Russia is the largest of these markets and showed a significant increase in sales during the quarter, resulting from a continued growth in its total and active sales force. The declinesegment further benefited from strong performance in Tupperware South Africa due primarily to an increase in its total and active sales force. Russia’s increase came largely from geographic expansion and Tupperware South Africa benefited from an additional independent management level to provide emphasis on recruiting and training sale force members.

These increases in local currency sales was due towere offset by a significant decline in Germany, the segment’s largest business. This reduction was primarily related to a shortfall in thelower total and active sales force. A modest declineforce and less business-to-business sales compared with last year. While the Company actively pursues business-to-business opportunities, sales from this channel are based on reaching agreements with business partners and their product needs, along with consideration of how the arrangement will be integrated with the core party-plan channel. Consequently, activity in one period may not be indicative of future periods. For the entire segment, local currency business-to-business sales were $4.6 million lower in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 2006 and by $4.8 million for the year-to-date period. Although Germany’s sales force remained down year-over-year, recruiting during the quarter, was offset byalong with fewer deletions andexiting sales force members, resulted in a slightan improvement of 8 percentage points in the year-over-yeartotal sales force decrement as compared with the end of 2006.the first quarter 2007. In an effort to increase the sales force size, similar to South Africa, an additional management level specific promotions focused on recruiting and sales force activity are being implemented in the short term, and the product program for party hostesses and consumers has been improved. On a longer-term basis,was added to the independent sales force structure has been enhanced with an additional management level to provide increased emphasis on recruiting and training sales force members. Partially offsettingin the decline in Germany was continued success in Russia and the other emerging marketsfourth quarter of Turkey and Poland. As a group, these emerging markets were up 44 percent and

contributed about 15 percent of the segment’s sales. The segment further benefited from strong performance in Tupperware South Africa. Both Russia and South Africa benefited from larger total and active sales forces resulting in improved sales volume. Russia’s increase came largely from geographic expansion and Tupperware South Africa benefited from the same type of additional sales force management level mentioned in relation to Germany. The Tupperware South Africa business pioneered the implementation of this level, called the team leader, within the segment.2006.

The lower segment profit as a percent of salesin the second quarter was primarilymainly due to an increased provision for bad debts, mainly in Germany. This increase reflected higher past due accounts as the lower sales performance impacted the distributors’ abilityand higher operating costs in Germany, although Germany continues to pay amounts as they became due. Since German sales were down significantly and this market continued to haveachieve an above average return on sales. The German decline was offset by improved profit in Russia and South Africa resulting from higher margins due to better pricing combined with a decrease in distribution costs.

The year-to-date sales there wasand segment profit variances largely mirrored those of the quarter. Sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods in 2007 were also positively impacted by a negative mix impact on the overall segment return on sales.stronger euro.

Asia Pacific had a very strong quarter with every business showing increased sales performance with the exception of Malaysia/Singapore and the NaturCare business in Japan.Japan, which had a slight decrease compared with last year. The three key emerging markets in the segment, China, Indonesia and India, had a combined sales increase of 2129 percent for the quarter and contributed 26 percent of the segment’s sales. China, by far the largest of the emergingthese markets, improved with an increase in both the number of outlets in operation, which reached 2,3702,456 at the end of the firstsecond quarter, while maintainingand outlet productivity. Total outlets in China are expected to more than double by 2012.2012, although recent outlet closures have exceeded expectations. Indonesia also contributed significant growth in sales in the second quarter resulting from a higher and more productive sales force as well as the timing of certain incentive programs. Also contributing to the strong performance were the established markets of Japan Australia and Malaysia/Singapore.Australia. The improvement in Japan, which was nearly 20about 15 percent, was due to strong recruiting and improved sales force productivity from improved product offerings, though at a lower average margin, and sales force incentives. Australia benefited from a larger active sales force that was also supported by the implementation of the team leader strategy mentioned earlier related to Germany and South Africa. The decline in sales for Malaysia/Singapore improved from a larger and more active sales force. Inwas due primarily to beginning the second and third quartersimplementation of 2007, Malaysia will implement a multi-tier sales force compensation program in the second quarter which slowed productivity. Over half of the sales force was converted in the second quarter with the remaining sales force to be converted in third quarter. The structure is similar to that previously implemented in the Tupperware United States business. On a long-term basis, this compensation program will allow it to offer an enhanced sales force earning opportunity and is expected to help secure long-term growth though it may result in some short-term slow down. This change was implemented in Singapore in June 2006 and is showing some signs of success. The NaturCare business was hurt by the unusual loss of several independent sales force leaders to a competitive local direct seller and is developing strategies to combat this loss.future growth.

The increase in segment profit was a result of improved sales volume, as well as more efficient promotional spending and lower amortization of acquired definite-lived intangible assets, administrative and distribution expenses resulting in the improved segment profit as a percent of sales.

All markets in the segment had increased sales increases during the quarter.second quarter compared with last year. The strongest performance in the segment was from the Tupperware United States Tupperware business which grewwith a strong increase in sales resulting from a higher active sales force for the third consecutive quarter. Althoughfirst time since 2002, in addition to strong recruiting results. With the activeincrease in recruiting and better retention, total sales force in the United States remained below the year ago level, it continued to showimprove with significant sequential improvement and was down only slightly in the firstsecond quarter versus the first quarter of 2006. Additionally, recruiting was up strongly.with a slight year-over-year decrement remaining. Overall, the Company believes that this improvement is directly related to the impact of the change to a multi-tier compensation structure that was completed in April of 2005 as well as a strategy for expanded and enhanced sales force training. The segment also benefited from a $1.8$3.1 million increase in business-to-business sales in Mexico. WhileExcluding the Company actively pursuesimpact of the business-to-business opportunities, sales, from this channel are based on reaching agreements with business partners and their product needs, along with consideration of how the arrangements will be integrated with the party-plan channel. Consequently, activity in one period may not be indicative of future trends. Absent this benefit, sales in the Tupperware Mexico business would have been about evenhad a strong increase in sales compared with last year.the 2006 second quarter resulting from a slight increase in the active sales force and strong improvements in recruiting.

The increased segmentincrease in second quarter profit for the quarter was primarily a result of greatly reducing the segment loss in the Tupperware United Statesdue to higher sales volume and Canada businesses. This was a result of improvement inan improved gross margin percentage as well as lower operating expenses resulting from more efficient distribution versus last year. The increased gross margin for the segment was the result of a more favorable mix of products, as well as increasedimproved capacity utilization from the increase in sales volume. Also contributing was the consolidation of the bulk of Canadian administrative activities with the United States. States and business-to-business sales in Mexico.

The higherNet sales on a local currency sales were a result ofbasis increased 9 percent in the second quarter compared with last year, resulting from improvement in Fuller Mexico. Fuller Mexico as BeautiControl North America was about evenhad a good increase compared with last year. Fuller Mexico continued to achieveyear resulting from strong growth reflecting double digit increases in both its total and active sales forces. This improvement was a result of strong recruitingforces as well as an increase in average orders due to successful promotions. Contributing to the improvement in total and active sales forces was strong recruiting and improved retention and resultedresulting in improvedhigher sales volume. BeautiControl North

America was hampered by a less active and less productive sales force. The activity shortfall was from the first two months of the quarter and improved in March. The sales level was affected by the offsetting impacts of higher volume and a lower average selling price which resulted from increased promotional offers to stimulate activity.

The declinemodest increase in local currency profit despite the increased sales was primarily due to a lower gross margin from an unfavorable mix of sales and higher manufacturing costs in BeautiControl North America. The unfavorable mix was due to increased sales of items to support the sales force. The profit decline was further impacted by higher commission and training costs in BeautiControl North America. The higher commission rate was due to the promotional sales offers. Additionally, the Fuller Mexico business was unfavorably impacted by the timing of promotional and incentive costs. These decrements offset the benefit of lower amortization of definite-lived intangible assets acquired.acquired of $1.2 million. Strong improvement in BeautiControl North America also contributed to the overall increase in segment profit resulting from lower distribution and promotion expenses, partially offset by promotional pricing in an effort to reduce inventory levels. Additionally, the Fuller Mexico business was negatively impacted by the timing of promotional and incentive costs offsetting the higher sales volume.

For the year-to-date period, sales increased 7 percent compared with the prior year, largely due to the same items as those noted of the quarter. Segment profit increased 3 percent due to lower amortization of definite-lived intangibles of $2.5 million. Factors mentioned above related to the second quarter were also applicable to the year-to-date period.

Net local currency sales for the segment increased 6 percent for both the quarter and year-to-date periods resulting from a strong performance in the Central and South America businesses primarily reflecting a higher active sales force in both periods. This was offset by lower sales levels in the Philippines and the Nutrimetics businesses resulting from smaller sales forces. Strategies have been implemented to drive sales force growth in these businesses with limited improvement in the sales force metrics to date.

The higher segment losses for the quarter and year-to-date periods were primarily the result of higher program and recruiting costs in the Philippines, an increase in promotional expenses in France and higher distribution cost in Australia. Also contributing to the decline in profit for the segment was a $0.8 million of non-income tax costs recorded in the second quarter resulting from a government audit. This was offset by lower amortization of definite-lived intangible assets acquired and improved sales was due to strong performance ofvolume in the Central and South America businesses. This offset lower

In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates favorably impacted sales levels infor the Philippines, fromsecond quarter and year-to-date periods of 2007, primarily due to a less productive sales force,stronger Australian dollar and the Company’s beauty businesses in Europe and Asia which were generally hurt by less active sales forces. The Nutrimetics Australia business showed a slight sales increase on improved sales force activity.

The lower segment loss primarily reflected lower amortization of definite-lived intangible assets acquired. Improvement in Central and South America was offset by the impact of the sales decline in other markets as discussed above.Philippine peso.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources Working capital decreased slightly in the firstsecond quarter from the end of 2006 to approximately $199$225.9 million. The fluctuation was due to an increase in accrued liabilities compared with the end of 2006 resulting from the timing of certain promotional, incentive and non-income tax accruals in Mexico as well as a decline reflected a lowerin cash balance from making a $25balances used to partially fund $68.2 million voluntary paymentin payments made on the Company’s outstanding term loans, whichloans. The decline was partially offset by higher inventories reflecting increasesaccounts receivable and inventory balances due primarily to higher sales volume during the first half of 2007 as well as higher inventory balances in Asia Pacific and BeautyBeautiControl North America. In Beauty North America, inventoryInventory at BeautiControl North America increased to support springfrom production and procurement for promotional programs as well as to manage the transition to a new manufacturing facility at the end of February. The increase in Asia Pacific was primarily in the emerging markets and Japan to support sales growth.

As of March 31,June 30, 2007, the Company had $186.5$186.7 million available under its $200 million revolving facility. The Company’s credit agreement contains reasonable and customary covenants that are outlined in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not anticipate that these covenants will restrict its ability to finance its operations or ability to pay its current dividend.

In addition to its committed revolving facility, the Company had about $128approximately $132.3 million available under other uncommitted lines of credit as of March 31,June 30, 2007. Current and committed borrowing facilities and cash generated by operating activities are expected to be adequate to finance working capital needs and capital expenditures.

The Company’s major markets for its products are Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the United States. A significant downturn in the Company’s business in these markets would adversely impact the Company’s ability to generate operating cash flows. The previously discussed downturn in the Company’s German business has impacted its ability to contribute the same historical level of operating cash flows to the Company and the lack of profitability in the Tupperware United States businessCompany. However, this situation has impacted its ability to contribute operating cash flows. However, neither of these situations hasnot resulted in a material negative impact to the Company as a whole. Operating cash flows would also be adversely impacted by significant difficulties in the recruitment, retention and activity of the Company’s independent sales force, the success of new products and promotional programs.

Included in the cash balance of $74.6$85.8 million reported at the end of the firstsecond quarter was $11.5$13.2 million denominated in Venezuela bolivars. The balance is primarily a result of favorable operating cash flows in the market. Due to Venezuelan government restrictions on transfers of cash out of the country and control of exchange rates, the Company cannot immediately repatriate this cash at the exchange rate used to translate the Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars for inclusion on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. It will apply for and expects to receive, authorization in the second halffourth quarter of 2007 to transfer approximately half$5 million of such amount out of the country through a dividend. It has also implemented other strategies in an effort to eventually repatriate additional amounts. The implementation of these strategies could expose the entire cash balance. The Company believes it could immediately repatriate the cash from Venezuela, but it would only be ablecompany to do so at a significantly less favorable exchange rate. Thisrates which would result innegatively impact the Company having fewer U.S. dollars than currently reported as a component of cash and cash equivalents on itsCompany’s consolidated balance sheet with the difference recorded as a foreign exchange loss in its consolidated income statement.financial statements.

The debt-to-total capital ratio at the end of the firstsecond quarter was 6156 percent compared with 63 percent at the end of 2006. Total capital is defined as total debt plus shareholders’ equity. The improvement reflects the previously mentioned voluntary$68.2 million in payments made on the Company’s term loan paymentloans during the first half of 2007, as well as increased shareholders’ equity from net income, stronger foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and the exercise of stock options, net of dividends declared.

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarterhalf of 2007 was $8.3$63.8 million compared with $4.2$50.6 million in the comparable 2006 period. The overall improvement during the first half of 2007 was primarily due to higher net income compared with last year. A significant difference between the periods was a $31.7 million increase in inventory in the first half of 2007 compared with $6.5 million in 2006 resulting from higher production in line with the overall sales growth as well an increased inventory level in BeautiControl North America as previously discussed. This was offset by a $30.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the first six months of 2007 compared with $4.3 million in 2006 primarily due to the timing of certain promotional, incentive, and non-income tax accruals. Also contributing to the fluctuation in cash flow from operating activities was a lower increase in accounts receivable primarily reflecting the lower sales in Germany discussed earlier. The significant improvement in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was largely driven by the accounts payable and concentrated in Beauty North America where Fuller Mexico was able extend its payment terms with vendors. It began this process at the end of 2006 and the impact in 2007 is expected to mitigate toward the end of the current year. Also contributing to this variance were payables associated with the inventory increases noted above which were partially offset in the higher increase in inventories in 2007 compared with 2006. The negative variance in the non-trade amounts receivable is primarily due to the impact of open hedge contracts.Germany.

Investing Activities During the first quarterhalf of 2007 and 2006, the Company spent $10.3$19.2 million and $12.4$24.9 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. The most significant type of spending in both years was for molds for new products with the greatest amount spent in Europe. The decrease in capital spending was largely due to lower expenditures related to site improvements in connection with the program for Land Sales (discussed below). Thediscussed below. Also included in investing activities was $103.5 million of acquisition costs in 2006, representedincluding a $79.8 million withholding tax payment made on behalf of Sara Lee Corporation.

The Company also received proceeds from disposalrelated to the sale of certain property, plant and equipment,equipment. For the first half of 2007, the proceeds were primarily from the sale of excess land in both periods,Australia and an insurance payout related to the Company’s former manufacturing facility in Halls, Tennessee. The 2006 proceeds were primarily from the sale of automobiles in markets where the Company purchases vehicles as incentive awards tofor some of its sales force members.

In 2002, the Company began a program to sell excess property for development around its Orlando, Florida headquarters (Land Sales). There were no proceeds from this program during the first quarterhalf of either 2007 or 2006. In July 2007, the Company completed the sale of 4.8 acres of excess land surrounding its headquarters for proceeds of approximately $3.7 million resulting in a gain of $3.3 million, which will be reflected in the third quarter results. Furthermore, the Company expects to close contractsan additional contract for proceeds of approximately $7$2.6 million and has recently signed an agreement for another $20$13.5 million ofin proceeds. This larger transaction, subject to certain closing conditions, is expected to close toward the end of 2007 or in 2008. The Company also expects to collect in excess of $2 million in the second quarter related to the sale of excess land in Australia and has a signed agreement, also subject to certain closing conditions, to sell a former manufacturing facility in Belgium for approximately $11 million. This agreement is expected to close toward the end of 2007 or in 2008. Cumulative proceeds from Land Sales, which began in 2002, are expected to be up to $125 million by the end of 2009, including $58$62 million received throughto date. In addition to the Land Sales, the Company also has a signed agreement, subject to certain closing conditions, to sell a former manufacturing facility in Belgium for approximately $11 million. This agreement is expected to close toward the end of the first quarter of 2007.2007 or in 2008. The Company’s term loan agreement requires it to remit proceeds received for the disposition of excess property,from Land Sales, less spending for site improvements, to its lenders in repayment of the debt.

Financing Activities Dividends paid to shareholders were $13.3$26.7 million and $26.6 million in the first quarterhalf of each 2007 and 2006.2006, respectively. Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options were $9.8$22.8 million and $3.0$4.2 million for the first quarterhalf of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in stock option proceeds during the first half of 2007 was due primarily to an increase in the Company’s stock price during this period providing incentive for option holders to exercise their outstanding options. The corresponding shares were issued out of the Company’s balance held in treasury. During the first quarter,half of 2007, the Company made alargely voluntary prepayment of $25.0principal prepayments totaling $68.2 million on its 7-year term loans, which left a balance of $644.2$601.0 million on these loans at the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2007.

In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase using up to $150 million over 5 years. The proceeds to be used are from stock option exercises and will offset a portion of the dilution that would otherwise result from these exercises.

Item 3:3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A significant portion of the Company’s sales and profit comes from its international operations. Although these operations are geographically dispersed, which partially mitigates the risks associated with operating in particular countries, the Company is subject to the usual risks associated with international operations. These risks include local political and economic environments, and relations between foreign and U.S. governments.

Another economic risk of the Company is exposure to foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of the Company’s international operations. The Company is not able to project in any meaningful way the possible effect of these fluctuations on translated amounts or future earnings. This is due to the Company’s constantly changing exposure to various currencies, the

fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollar and the large number of currencies involved. The Company’s most significant exposures are to the euro and the Mexican peso.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company’s local product sourcing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks associated with a portion of its investment in international operations. In addition to hedging against the balance sheet impact of changes in exchange rates, the hedge of investments in international operations also has the effect of hedging a portion of cash flows from those operations. The Company also hedges with these instruments certain other exposures to various currencies arising from amounts payable and receivable, non-permanent intercompany loans and forecasted payments.

One of the Company’s market risks is its exposure to the impact of interest rate changes. The Company manages this risk through interest rate swaps and the currencies in which it borrows. The Company’s target, over time, is to have approximately half of its borrowings with fixed rates based either on the stated terms or through the use of interest rate swap agreements. The Company believes that this target gives it the best balance of cost certainty and the ability to take advantage of market conditions. The Company’s 7-year term loans carry a variable interest rate and in December 2005 and January 2006, the Company entered into swap agreements to fix the rate on $375 million. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter ofIn April 2007, the Company replaced three of its swaps totaling $175 million that were scheduled to expire in 2009 and 2010 with new agreements of the same amount that are scheduled to expire in 2012. Following this action, the overall fixed rate is approximately 6.4 percent. Approximately 5864 percent of the outstanding term loans carry a fixed rate largely via the swap agreements and as the Company reduces the balance of its term loans, it will continue to review its mix of fixed and variable interest rates and may make further adjustments to its mix. Refer to Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of these agreements. Based on the Company’s current mix of fixed and variable interest rates, a 10 percent variance in short-term interest rates would have impacted firstsecond quarter and year-to-date 2007 interest expense by approximately $0.6 million.$0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2007, in order to protect the value of a portion of the Company’s euro-based cash flows expected during 2007, the Company purchased a series of put options that expire at various points during 2007, giving the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell 34.1 million euros in

exchange for U.S. dollars. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the maximum full year expense related to these options is $0.5 million and $0.3 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2007.million. Each quarter, these options will beare being marked to market and any change in value will beis recorded in other income or expense as applicable. In the second quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007, $0.2 million and $0.5 million of expense was recorded based on the change in the market value of the options.

As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, during the first quarter of 2007, the Company entered into agreements to hedge $50 million worth of its Japanese yen net equity and $300 million worth of its euro net equity through a series of new forward contracts. Along with the equity hedge, these contracts syntheticallyeffectively convert this portion of the Company’s U.S. dollar term loans to Japanese yen and euro where more of itsit generates operating cash flow is generated.flows. In July 2007, the Company’s Japanese yen position was reduced by $16.6 million. These contracts will also significantly reduce interest expense in the future with an annualized impact between $6 and $7close to $5.1 million based on the current spread among interest rates between the United States and Europe and Japan. The forward contracts will mature in 2007 and 2008 and will be settled in cash such that the Company will be exposed to fluctuations in the value of the yen and euro versus the U.S. dollar. It is currently expected that the Company will enter into new contracts as existing contracts reach maturity and over time, receipts or payments under the hedges are expected to be offset by changes in the value of operating cash flows generated in yen and in euro.

While the Company’s hedges of its equity in its foreign subsidiaries and its fair value hedges of non-permanent intercompany loans mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled. The U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company’s most significant net open hedge positions at June 30, 2007, were to sell euro, $253.5$232.3 million; Swiss francs, $51.1$56.2 million and Japanese yen, $71.4$65.9 million and to buy Mexican pesos $29.5$31.9 million. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, for example, a depreciatingan appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash outflowinflow for the Company at settlement with the opposite result in agreements to sellbuy foreign currencies for U.S. dollars. The above noted notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company’s outstanding currency exposures, and based on rates existing at the end of the firstsecond quarter, the Company was in a net payable position of $0.2approximately $0.9 million on allrelated to its currency hedges. When including the impact of its openforward points to this analysis, the Company was in a net receivable position of approximately $1.0 million from the total portfolio of forward contracts.

A precise calculation of the impact of currency fluctuations is not practical since some of the contracts are between non-U.S. dollar currencies. However, if the value of the specific currencies referenced above were to change by 10 percent relative to the U.S. dollar, the Company’s net position would be impacted by in the low to midhigh $30 million range. Approximately 4050 percent of this impact would be settled in 2007.

The Company is also exposed to rising material prices in its manufacturing operations and in particular the cost of oil and natural gas-based resins. This is the primary material used in production of Tupperware® products and the Company currently estimates that it will utilize $90$100 to $100$110 million of resins during 2007. A 10 percent fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company’s annual cost of sales in the $9$10 to $10$11 million dollar range as compared with the prior year. For the first quarterhalf of 2007, the Company estimates its cost of sales was minimally impacted as compared with the same period in 2006. The Company partially manages this risk by utilizing a centralized procurement function that is able to take advantage of bulk discounts while maintaining multiple suppliers and also enters into short-term pricing arrangements. It also manages its margin through the pricing of its products, with price increases generally in line with consumer inflation, and its mix of sales through its promotional programs and discount offers. It may also, on occasion, make advance material purchases to take advantage of current favorable pricing. At this point in time, the Company has determined that entering forward contracts for resin prices is not cost beneficial and has no such contracts in place. However, should circumstances warrant, the Company may consider such contracts in the future.

The Company’s program to sell land held for development is also exposed to the risks inherent in the real estate development process. Included among these risks are the ability to obtain all government approvals, the success of buyers in attracting tenants for commercial developments and general economic conditions, such as interest rate increases in the Orlando real estate market.
