UNAUDITED PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1998
The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 and
unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998 give effect to Katy's purchase of the Common Interest in the
LLC, as if the purchase had occurred on December 31, 1998 for purposes of the
unaudited pro forma balance sheet and January 1, 1998 for purposes of the
unaudited pro forma statement of operations. The transaction was accounted
for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 16.
The historical financial data included in the pro forma statements is as of
the periods presented. The historical financial data of Contico as of
December 31, 1998 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 was
derived from unaudited financial statements for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998.
The unaudited pro forma financial data is based on management's best estimate
of the effects of the Contico acquisition. Pro forma adjustments are based on
currently available information; however, the actual adjustments will be based
on more precise appraisals, evaluations and estimates of fair values. It is
possible that the actual adjustments could differ substantially from those
presented in the unaudited pro forma financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 and the
statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have
been achieved had the Contico acquisition been consummated as of the dates
indicated, or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
unaudited notes to the pro forma financial statements and historical financial
statements and notes thereto.
In accordance with the rules regarding the preparation of pro forma financial
statements, income of $2,075,000, or $.25 per share, from discontinued
operations, operations to be disposed of, and certain nonrecurring items
(related to Katy historical financial statements) has not been considered in
the unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1998. In addition, both the equity interest in a joint venture and
discontinued operations (related to Contico historical financial statements,
not included in the purchase transaction) have not been considered in the
unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1998.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the purchase price of $165,000,000 was
based on a closing date balance sheet prepared on a post-closing basis as of
January 8, 1999.

CONTICO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited
December 31, 1998
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company and include the accounts of its subsidiary and
divisions. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the 12 month
periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial
statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These
interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
for the three years ended May 31, 1998.
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
- ---------------------------
Contico International, Inc. and its subsidiary (Contico) is engaged
principally in the design, manufacturing and marketing of a broad range of
molded plastic products for consumer and industrial use. Contico markets are
predominately located in North America and the United Kingdom.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- ----------------------------------------------
Principles of Consolidation and Revenue Recognition
- ---------------------------------------------------
The accounts of its foreign subsidiary (Subsidiary) and domestic and foreign
divisions are included in the consolidated financial statements of Contico.
Contico's investment in Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. The Subsidiary is 75% owned by the Contico. Minority
interest in the Subsidiary represents the minority stockholder's
proportionate (25%) share of the Subsidiary's equity and retained earnings.
The minority interest in the Subsidiary at December 31, 1998, is held by
Contico's Chairman of the Board. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Sales are recognized as products are
shipped.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required the use
of certain estimates by management in determining Contico's assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Inventories
- -----------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the last-in, first-out
method) or market. If Contico had used the first-in, first-out method of
computing inventory costs, inventories would have been $2,350, $6,500 and
$5,400 higher than reported at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
- -----------------------------
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over
estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 39 years, using the straight-line
method for financial statement purposes. Additions, betterments and
replacements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged against income.
Income Taxes
- ------------
Contico has elected to be taxed as an S corporation for federal and Missouri
income tax purposes. Accordingly, Contico is not taxed on its income except
for certain state taxes and taxes on its foreign subsidiary and divisions.
The stockholders of Contico are otherwise responsible for the payment of
income taxes on their share of the Contico's income.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
- ---------------------------------
Assets and liabilities of the foreign division and subsidiary are translated
into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and profit and loss accounts are
translated at average annual exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and
losses are included as a separate component in Stockholders' Equity. Foreign
exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the results of
operations. Such amounts for the years presented were insignificant.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
- ---------------------------
In January 1998, Contico sold certain net assets of its liquid dispensing
business segment for approximately $92 million, resulting in a gain on
disposal of $54.3 million. Contico used the proceeds to reduce
long-term debt and to fund dividends to its shareholders. An additional $2
million has been escrowed and may be received by Contico contingent upon the
purchaser of the liquid dispensing business segment attaining specified unit
sales levels. This contingent gain has not been reflected in these financial
statements and will be recognized as received.
4. JOINT VENTURE:
- -----------------
Contico is a joint venture partner along with a French corporation in
Allibert-Contico, L.L.C. ("Allibert-Contico"), a limited liability company
engaged in manufacturing of plastic material handling products. Contico's
50% equity interest in Allibert-Contico's results is included in other
income, and was income of $2,130 and $425 for the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively.
Contico announced that it will sell its interest in Allibert-Contico for
approximately $28 million with the closing date scheduled during January
1999.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
- --------------------
On January 8, 1999, Katy purchased all of the Common Interest in the LLC,
the successor to the janitorial, consumer products and industrial packaging
businesses (collectively, the "Business") of Contico. Contico had
previously contributed substantially all of the assets and certain of the
liabilities of the Business to the LLC and entered into leases with the LLC
for certain real property used in the Business and retained by Contico. The
full interest in Contico's foreign subsidiary was contributed to the LLC,
eliminating the minority interest previously held by Contico's Chairman of
the Board. The purchase price for the Common Interest was $132,100,000.
The payment of the purchase price on the closing date was financed under

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Contico

1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended May 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Contico International, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of May 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------
(Thousands of Dollars)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- ----------------------------------------------
Business
- --------
Contico International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) is engaged
principally in the design, manufacturing and marketing of a broad range of
molded plastic products for consumer and industrial use. The Company's
markets are predominately located in North America and the United Kingdom.
Principles of Consolidation and Revenue Recognition
- ---------------------------------------------------
The accounts of all foreign subsidiaries (Subsidiaries) and domestic and
foreign divisions are included in the consolidated financial statements of
the Company. The Company's investment in Joint Venture is accounted for
under the equity method of accounting. All Subsidiaries are 75% owned by the
Company. Minority interest in Subsidiaries represents the minority
stockholder's proportionate (25%) share of the Subsidiaries' equity and
retained earnings. The minority interest in Subsidiaries at May 31, 1998 and
1997, is held by the Company's Chairman of the Board. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Sales are
recognized as products are shipped.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required the use
of certain estimates by management in determining the Company's assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Inventories
- -----------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the last-in, first-out
method) or market. If the Company had used the first-in, first-out method of
computing inventory costs, inventories would have been $4,600, $6,500, $5,400
and $17,700 higher than reported at May 31, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
- -----------------------------
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over
estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 39 years, using the straight-line
method for financial statement purposes. Additions, betterments and
replacements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged against income.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation for federal and
Missouri income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is not taxed on its
income except for certain state taxes and taxes on foreign subsidiaries and
divisions. The stockholders of the Company are otherwise responsible for the
payment of income taxes on their share of the Company's income.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
- ---------------------------------
Assets and liabilities of foreign divisions and subsidiaries are translated
into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and profit and loss accounts are
translated at average annual exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and
losses are included as a separate component in Stockholders' Equity. Foreign
exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the results of
operations. Such amounts for the years presented were insignificant.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
- ---------------------------
In January 1998, the Company sold certain net assets of its liquid dispensing
business segment for approximately $92 million, resulting in a gain on
disposal of $54.3 million. The Company used the proceeds to reduce
long-term debt and to fund dividends to its shareholders. An additional $2
million has been escrowed and may be received by the Company contingent upon
the purchaser of the liquid dispensing business segment attaining specified
unit sales levels. This contingent gain has not been reflected in these
financial statements and will be recognized as received.
The Company has restated its prior financial statements to present the
operating results of its liquid dispensing business segment as a discontinued
operation. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations at
May 31, 1997, have been reflected as net current assets and net noncurrent
assets based on their original classifications.
Operating results from discontinued operations are as follows:
