Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND ORGANIZATION
The consolidated financial statements include J.B. Williams Holdings, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: J.B. Williams Company, Inc., After Shave
Products Inc., Pre-Shave Products Inc., Hair Care Products Inc., and CEP
Holdings Inc. (collectively the "Company"). Brynwood Partners II L.P., a
private partnership formed under Delaware law, is the majority owner of all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as
of April 1, 2000 and for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 and April
3, 1999 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form
10-Q. All adjustments, which in the opinion of the management of the
Company are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated
financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 and April
3, 1999, have been reflected. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The April 1, 2000 condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 1, 2000 included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the period ended April 1, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
2. LONG TERM DEBT
Long term debt consists of $50.3 million 12% Senior Notes, due 2004 (the
"Senior Notes").
3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING GUARANTORS
The Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiaries, which constitute all of the Company's direct or indirect
subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The Subsidiary Guarantors have
fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes on a joint and
several basis; and the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and equity
of the Subsidiary Guarantors are substantially equivalent to the assets,
liabilities, earnings and equity of the Company on a consolidated basis.
There are no restrictions on the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantors to
make distributions to the Company. In management's opinion separate
financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Subsidiary
Guarantors would not be material to investors. Accordingly, separate
financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Subsidiary
Guarantors are not included herein.
5. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements
to conform with the current year's presentation.

======= =======
For the period ended April 1, 2000, net sales decreased 11.3% to $12,597,000
from $14,209,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease is primarily
due to lower sales on the health care products business, particularly on the
Cepacol cough/cold products. Of the $1,612,000 decrease in total company sales
versus 1999, approximately $1,100,000 reflects the impact of lower sales of
cough/cold products resulting from an early end to the 1999 - 2000 cough/cold
season. The remaining sales shortfall of approximately $500,000 reflects lower
sales of San Francisco Soap gift sets resulting from the Company's decision to
not offer a gift set program for the 2000 Mothers Day season.
-5-
For the period ended April 1, 2000, cost of goods sold decreased 18.7% to
$4,597,000 from $5,651,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease is
directly linked to the Company's lower sales volumes combined with generally
lower manufacturing costs on the San Francisco Soap products. During 1999 the
San Francisco Soap business incurred certain one-time expenses associated with
the shutdown of the gift set/special pack assembly operation that the Company
operated during 1998 and with the March 1999 re-launch of the entire San
Francisco Soap product line.
For the period ended April 1, 2000, distribution expenses and cash discounts
decreased 29.2% to $880,000 from $1,243,000 for the comparable period in 1999.
This decrease is primarily due to lower sales volumes, reduced levels of
shipping penalties and other warehouse charges.
For the period ended April 1, 2000, advertising and promotion expenses of
$3,980,000 increased 1.9% versus the $3,904,000 spent during the comparable
period in 1999. All of this increase is related to the Health Care Products
business as there was a national marketing program supporting the Cepacol
business that occurred in January 2000. Marketing spending for the Personal Care
Products business actually decreased during this period in 2000 as support
levels behind the Total Hair Fitness line of shampoos and conditioners for men
were significantly reduced.
For the period ended April 3, 1999, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by 4.6% to $2,919,000 from $2,790,000 for the comparable period in
1999. Most of this increase is related to generally higher levels of salaries
and management consulting expenses partially offset by lower broker commission
payments associated with the decline in net sales.
For the period ended April 1, 2000, depreciation and amortization of $1,053,000
remained essentially unchanged from $1,049,000 for the comparable period in
1999.
For the period ended April 1, 2000, interest expense, net of interest income,
decreased 11.8% to $1,325,000 from $1,503,000 for the comparable period in 1999.
Higher levels of cash have resulted in a corresponding increase in interest
income, thereby resulting in an overall net decrease in interest expense.
For the period ended April 1, 2000, the Company recorded an income tax benefit
of $884,000 versus an income tax benefit of $791,000 for the comparable period
in 1999. The effective tax rate was 41% for both interim periods.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company realized a net loss of $(1,273,000)
for the period ended April 1, 2000. This compares unfavorably with a net loss of
$(1,140,000) for the comparable period in 1999. Most of this variance can be
attributed to the profit effect of the lower sales volumes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The following chart summarizes the net funds provided and/or used in operating,
financing and investing activities for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000
and April 3, 1999 (in thousands).
Period Ended
------------
April 1, April 3,
-------- --------

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities .. $ 974 $ (590)
Net cash used in investing activities ................ (206) (474)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents ..... $ 768 $(1,064)
The principal adjustments to reconcile net loss of $(1,273,000) for the period
ended April 1, 2000 to net cash provided by operating activities of $974,000 are
depreciation and amortization of $1,053,000, combined with a net decrease in
working capital requirements of $1,194,000. The working capital decrease is
primarily linked to generally lower levels of accounts receivable.
Capital expenditures, which were $206,000 for the period ended April 1, 2000,
are generally not significant in the Company's business. The Company has
approximately $.6 million budgeted in 2000 for continued enhancements to its
computer network and for the development of certain new plastic bottle molds.
As a result of the Senior Notes, the Company had $50.3 million of total debt
outstanding as of January 1, 2000 and April 1, 2000. Management expects that
cash on hand and internally generated funds will provide sufficient capital
resources to finance the Company's operations and meet interest requirements on
the Senior Notes, both in respect of the short term as well as during the long
term. Since there can be no guarantee that the Company will generate internal
funds sufficient to finance its operations and debt requirements, the Company
has arranged for a secured line of credit with the Bank of New York through
August 31, 2000 to provide funds, should they be required, in order for the
Company to meet its liquidity requirements. The line of credit is in the maximum
amount of $5,000,000, with the amount available being subject to reduction based
on certain criteria relative to the Company's accounts receivable and inventory.
