NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
Sunbeam Corporation filed a petition for relief under Section
1121(a) of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on February 6,
2001. On September 6, 2002, Sunbeam Corporation filed its Third Amended
Plan of Reorganization with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York, which was supplemented on October 29,
2002. A hearing regarding the confirmation of the Third Amended Plan of
Reorganization is scheduled for November 20, 2002. In light of the
significant resources and time dedicated to the preparation of the
Third Amended Plan of Reorganization and the related confirmation
process, Sunbeam Corporation is not in a position to timely file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2002. Nevertheless, Sunbeam Corporation does intend to file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2002 no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed
due date, as contemplated by Rule 12b-25(b)(2) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
