NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2001, the consolidated
statements of income and retained earnings for the three and nine months ended
September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000, and the consolidated statements of
cash flow for the nine months ended September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000
have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flow at
September 28, 2001 and for all periods presented have been made. The balance
sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2000 annual
report to shareholders. The results of operations for the period ended September
28, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
year.

4. Earnings Per Share
Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to common shareholders and the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reported period.
Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential common stock issuable
pursuant to the exercise of stock options outstanding.
5. Recent Accounting Developments
The EITF issued EITF 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives". This
issue addresses the income statement classification for offers by a vendor
directly to end consumers that are exercisable after a single exchange
transaction in the form of coupons, rebate offers, or free products or services
disbursed on the same date as the underlying exchange transaction. The issue
requires the cost of these items to be accounted for as a reduction of revenues,
not included as a marketing expense as the Company does today. This
reclassification is approximately $20 million annually. The EITF will be
effective January, 2002 and there is no net income impact.
The EITF also issued EITF No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization
of Consideration from a Vendor to a Retailer". This issue outlines required
accounting treatment of certain sales incentives, including slotting or
placement fees, cooperative advertising arrangements, buydowns and other
allowances. The Company currently records such costs as marketing expenses. EITF
00-25 will require the Company to report the paid consideration expense as a
reduction of sales, rather than marketing expense. The Company is required to
implement EITF 00-25 for the quarter beginning January 1, 2002. The Company has
not yet determined the effect of implementing the guidelines of EITF 00-25, but
in any case, implementation will not have an effect on net income.
During the first quarter of 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." Under this statement, all derivatives, whether designated
as hedging instruments or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet
at fair value. Furthermore, changes in fair value of derivative instruments not
designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings in the current
period.
The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements, which are considered
derivatives, to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating
rate short-term debt. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating
interest payments for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the
agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. As of
December 31, 2000, the Company had swap agreements for a notional amount of $20
million, and as of September 28, 2001, the Company had swap agreements in the
amount of $110 million, swapping debt with either a one or a three-month libor
rate for a fixed interest rate. These swaps, of which $20 million expire in May
2002 and $90 million, which decline by $3.3 million per month and expire in
December 2003, were recorded as a liability in the amount of $2.2 million. These
instruments are designated as cash flow hedges as of September 28, 2001 and any
changes in value are recorded in other comprehensive income.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" which
establishes new standards for accounting and reporting requirements for business
combinations and will require that the purchase method of accounting be used for
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the
pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited. The Company adopted this
statement for transactions that occurred after June 30, 2001. Management does
not believe that SFAS No. 141 will have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets". Under its
changes, SFAS No. 142 establishes new standards for goodwill acquired in a
business combination and eliminates amortization of goodwill and instead sets
forth methods to periodically evaluate goodwill for impairment. The Company
adopted this statement upon its effective date. If effective for all
acquisitions made prior to June 30, 2001, there would have been a reduction of
amortization expense of approximately $4.0 million in 2001.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement
supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for
the disposal of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). This
statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to
eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is
likely to be temporary. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact
of the SFAS No. 144. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
6. USAD Acquisition and Non-Core Business Divestiture
On May 25, 2001, the Company and USA Detergents, Inc. ("USAD") closed on its
previously announced merger agreement under which the Company acquired USAD, its
partner in the previously announced ARMUS LLC joint venture, for $7 per share in
an all-cash transaction.
This combination increased the Company's laundry products sales to over $400
million a year, making it the third largest company in the $6 billion retail
U.S. laundry detergents business with three leading brands: ARM & HAMMER(R) and
XTRA(R) Liquid and Powder Laundry Detergents and NICE'N FLUFFY(R) Liquid Fabric
Softener.
The Company and USAD formed the ARMUS joint venture to combine their laundry
products businesses in June 2000. Under its terms, the Company had management
control of the venture and an option to buy USAD's interest in five years.
The venture became operational on January 1, 2001, and was dissolved when the
Company purchased USAD outright.
As part of the ARMUS venture, the Company had already acquired 2.1 million
shares or 15% of USAD's stock for $15 million or $7 a share. The acquisition
agreement extended the same offer price to USAD's remaining stockholders. The
Company estimates the total transaction cost, including the assumption of debt,
and the initial stock purchase, to be approximately $135 million before disposal
of unwanted assets. The Company financed the acquisition with a short term
bridge loan, which subsequently was refinanced as part of the Carter-Wallace
acquisition.
The Company divested USAD's non-laundry business, which accounted for less than
20% of USAD's sales in 2000, and other non-core assets to former USAD
executives.
A preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
(in thousands)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consideration paid (excluding debt assumption) $112,027
Financing Costs (935)
Net assets acquired as of May 25, 2001 (2,093)
Deferred tax adjustment (7,325)
Fixed asset adjustments (2,309)
Note receivable for divestiture of unwanted assets (2,000)
Other purchase accounting adjustments 727
----------------
Preliminary excess purchase price $98,092
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An appraisal of USAD is currently in process. The purchase price allocation will
be modified based on its results. The preliminary excess purchase price is
included in the Goodwill and Other Intangibles caption in the Consolidated
Balance sheet as of September 28, 2001 and is being amortized, using the
straight line method over 30 years.
As noted, the Company divested USAD's non-laundry business and other non-core
assets to former USAD executives concurrent with the merger agreement. The
Company will have a 20% ownership interest in the newly formed company and
contribute $200,000. The new company, USA Metro, Inc. (USAM), purchased
inventory and other assets for a total of $5,087,000, in the form of two notes
receivable. The inventory note of $3,087,000 is secured by a lien on the
inventory. The note is due on December 31, 2001 and bears interest at 8% for the
first ninety days and 10% thereafter. The interest rate increases to 12% for any
period the loan remains outstanding beyond December 31, 2001. The note for all
the other assets of $2,000,000 has a maturity of five years and bear interest at
8% for the first two years, 9% for the third year, 10% for the fourth year and
11% for the fifth year.
There shall be interest only payments for the first two years. Commencing with
the start of the third year the principal and accrued interest shall be paid
monthly based upon a five-year amortization. The unpaid principal and accrued
interest as of the maturity date shall be payable in a lump sum at such time. In
the event the unpaid principal and interest is not paid as of the maturity date,
the interest rate shall increase by 300 basis points. In the case of default by
USAM that is not remedied as provided in the note, the Company may convert the
note to additional ownership in USAM.
7. USAD Pro forma Results
The following are Pro forma Income Statements to reflect the USAD acquisition as
if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2001. A comparable income statement for
the year ago period is also presented.

8. Other Item - Concentration of Risk
The Company has a concentration of risk with USA Metro, Inc. ("USAM") at
September 28, 2001 in the form of the following:
(in thousands)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A 20% equity interest in USAM $ 200
Note receivable for inventory - due December 31, 2001 3,087
Note receivable for other assets - payments start with the beginning of the third year 2,000
Trade accounts receivable 2,761
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 8,048
Should USAM be unable to meet these obligations, the impact may have a material
adverse effect to the Company's financial statements.
9. Carter-Wallace Acquisition
On September 28, 2001, the Company closed on its previously announced agreement
to acquire the consumer products business of Carter-Wallace, Inc. in a
partnership with the private equity group, Kelso & Company, for a total
negotiated price of $739 million, including the assumption of certain debt plus
transaction costs. Under the terms of its agreements with Carter-Wallace and
Kelso, the Company acquired Carter-Wallace's U.S. antiperspirant and pet care
businesses outright for a negotiated price of approximately $128 million; and
ArmKel, LLC, a 50/50 joint venture between the Company and Kelso, acquired the
rest of Carter-Wallace's domestic and international consumer products business
for a negotiated price of $611 million. The Company will account for its
interest in ArmKel on the equity method.
Through the formation of ArmKel, LLC, coupled with the outright purchase of
Carter-Wallace's antiperspirant product lines and pet care businesses, the
Company creates a personal care business that achieves critical mass in
manufacturing, sales and distribution. In addition, the Company expects to
obtain cost saving synergies, particularly related to the antiperspirant
business. The results of operations for the businesses acquired are not included
in the Company's consolidated financial statements, because the acquisition
occurred on the last day of the third quarter.
Carter-Wallace's consumer business is estimated to have sales of more than $500
million. Major brands include ARRID(R) antiperspirants, TROJAN(R) condoms,
NAIR(R) depilatories, FIRST RESPONSE(R) pregnancy test kits, PEARL DROPS(R)
toothpaste and Lambert Kay pet care products. Approximately 60% of the sales are
in the U.S., and the remaining 40% abroad, including Canada and the U.K. where
the Company also operates, as well as Mexico, Western Europe and Australia.
Under the terms of its joint venture agreement with Kelso, the Company will have
a call option to acquire Kelso's interest in ArmKel in three to five years after
the closing, at fair market value subject to certain limits. If the Company does
not exercise its call option, there are provisions for the sale of the assets
after a certain period. In the case of a sale of the assets to a third party
after the seventh anniversary of the acquisition, the Company will make up any
shortfall to Kelso relative to Kelso's aggregate initial capital contribution,
less $5.0 million. The venture's Board will have equal representation from both
sides, with the Company appointing the Chairman.
The Company financed its investment in ArmKel, the acquisition of USA Detergents
and the Antiperspirant and Pet Care businesses from Carter-Wallace with a $510
million credit facility consisting of $410 million in 5- and 6-year term loans,
all of which were drawn at closing and a $100 million revolving credit facility
which remains fully undrawn. The term loans pay interest at 200 and 250 basis
points over LIBOR.
The ArmKel venture itself is financed with $229 million in equity contributions
from the Company and Kelso and an additional $445 million in debt. ArmKel has
obtained financing for $530 million to finance the debt portion of the joint
venture balance sheet. Any debt on ArmKel's balance sheet will be without
recourse to the Company.
Simultaneous with this transaction, Carter-Wallace and its pharmaceutical
business merged into a newly formed company set up by pharmaceutical industry
executives and backed by two well-known private equity firms. While the Company
and ArmKel are not affiliated with the pharmaceutical venture, ArmKel has agreed
to provide certain transitional services to help this venture with the start-up
of its operations at Carter-Wallace's main Cranbury, New Jersey, facility.
A preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the Antiperspirant and Pet

10. Impairment and Other Items
During 2000, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $21.9 million relating to
three major elements: a $14.3 million book write-down of the Company's Syracuse
N.Y. manufacturing facility, a $2.1 million charge for potential carrying and
site clearance costs, and a $5.5 million severance charge related to both the
Syracuse shutdown and the sales force reorganization. The Company also incurred
plant and warehouse shutdown charges of $1.8 million in 2000 and $1.4 million in
2001. This brings the total one-time cost to approximately $25 million. The cash
portion of this one-time cost, however, was less than $5 million after tax.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the quarter ended September 28, 2001, net income was $15.3 million,
equivalent to basic earnings of $.39 per share, from a loss of $(1.2) million or
$(.03) per share, in last year's third quarter. Diluted earnings were $.37 per
share compared to a loss of $(.03) per share last year. Included in last year's
third quarter was a pretax charge of $21.9 million for the Syracuse, New York
plant shutdown. Excluding this charge, net income would have been $12.7 million
or $.32 per diluted share. For the first nine months of 2001, net income was
$40.9 million or basic earnings of $1.05 per share compared to $22.9 million or
$.60 per share last year. Diluted earnings were $1.00 per share compared to $.57
per share last year. This years results included $1.4 million in previously
announced plant and warehouse shutdown costs related to the start-up of the
Armus joint venture. Last years results included a deferred compensation gain of
$1.2 million and the previously mentioned plant shutdown charge. Adjusting for
these unusual items, diluted earnings for the nine month period were $1.02 per
share compared to $.90 per share last year.
Net sales for the quarter increased by 34% to $270.6 million from $202.5 million
in the same period last year. Consumer products sales rose 41.5% primarily due
to the addition of the Xtra(R) Laundry Detergent and Nice'N Fluffy(R) Fabric
Softener brands as part of the acquisition of USAD earlier in the year. The
Company's existing laundry, deodorizing and cleaning products also reported
solid growth; however, personal care products were slightly lower. Specialty
products increased by 3.3% due to growth in the animal nutrition line.
Net sales for the first nine months of 2001 increased 31.0% to $784.2 million,
with consumer products up 36.9% and specialty products up 7.4%. The reasons for
the increase are consistent with the third quarter.
The Company's gross margin of 38.5% and 37.6% for the quarter and nine month
period, respectively, was lower than the same periods of a year ago. This
reflects the impact of the consolidation of the lower margin USAD brands, which
accounts for the majority of the decline. In addition the plant and warehouse
shutdown costs and lower personal care sales also contributed to the decline.
Advertising, consumer and trade promotion expenses were $4.4 million higher in
the quarter and $5.6 million for the nine month period. Increases in laundry
products as a result of the USAD brands were partially offset by reductions in
deodorizers and cleaners.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million in the
quarter and $14.1 million for the nine month period. Personnel related costs,
which includes higher deferred compensation costs, costs associated with the
Armus joint venture and USAD acquisition were the major reasons for the
increases. An increase in the bad debt reserve and higher outside service costs
also contributed.
Earnings from affiliates was virtually unchanged in the quarter but higher for
the nine month period due to higher ArmaKleen earnings as a result of improved
performance in the current year and the prior year bad debt provision associated
with Safety-Kleen filing chapter 11.
Interest expense increased $2.0 million in the quarter and $1.0 million for the
nine month period as a result of higher average debt. The Company borrowed $150
million at the end of May to purchase USA Detergents and to pay off existing
bank debt. This debt was refinanced as part of the Carter-Wallace acquisition.
Investment earnings was unchanged in the quarter and $.3 million lower for the
nine month period as a result of the receipt of interest from the Fluid
Packaging note in 2000.
Other expenses decreased in the quarter but increased year to date. The increase
is primarily a result of foreign exchanges losses associated with the Brazilian
subsidiary and other foreign exchange transactions.
Minority interest expense is primarily the 35% of the earnings generated by the
Armus joint venture through the month of May that accrued to USAD.
The effective tax rate for the nine-month period was 35.3%, which is consistent
with last year's rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company financed its investment in ArmKel, the acquisition of USA Detergents
and the Antiperspirant and Pet Care businesses from Carter-Wallace with a $510
million credit facility consisting of $410 million in 5- and 6-year term loans,
all of which were drawn at closing and a $100 million revolving credit facility
which remains fully undrawn. The term loans pay interest at 200 and 250 basis
points over LIBOR. In addition to the unused revolving credit facility, the
Company had approximately $38 million in cash and short-term investments at
quarter-end.
Financial covenants include EBITDA to total debt and interest coverage. The
Company believes that the $100 million revolving credit facility is sufficient
to meet its liquidity needs.
During the first nine months of 2001, the Company generated $16.6 million from
operating activities (after an increase in working capital to fund its growth),
increased its net debt position by $377.9 million, and received $8.6 million
from the exercise of stock options. Significant expenditures include the
purchase of USAD of $101.6 million, the purchase of the Antiperspirant and Pet
Care businesses from Carter-Wallace of $128.9 million and the investment in
ArmKel of $108.3 million. Other expenditures included additions to property,
plant and equipment of $22.3 million, payment of cash dividends of $8.3 million
and investment in notes receivable of $16.4 million.
