F-6 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc. ("HI"), and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is a direct seller of home decorative accessories using the "party plan" method whereby members of its non-employee, independent sales representatives ("Displayers") conduct shows in the homes of potential customers. The Company believes that in-home shows provide a comfortable environment where the unique benefits and attributes of the Company's products can be demonstrated in a more effective manner than the typical retail setting. The Company has been located in Dallas, Texas since its inception in 1957. Currently, a majority of the Company's outstanding capital stock is owned of record by affiliates of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, a Dallas based Texas corporation ("Hicks Muse"). Approximately 41% of the dollar volume of products purchased by the Company in 2001 were purchased from, and manufactured by, the Company's subsidiaries. The Company's subsidiaries sell substantially all of their products to the Company. The following is a brief description of the Company's subsidiaries, each of which is wholly owned: - Dallas Woodcraft Company, LP (formerly Dallas Woodcraft, Inc.) ("DWC") manufactures framed artwork and mirrors using custom-designed equipment. - GIA, Inc. ("GIA") manufactures various types of molded plastic products using custom-designed equipment. In April, 2000, the Company consolidated its Homco, Inc. ("Homco") operations into its GIA facilities in Grand Island, Nebraska and sold the Homco facility in McKinney, Texas. Prior to April 2000, Homco manufactured molded plastic products similar to those manufactured by GIA. - Laredo Candle Company, L.P. ("Laredo Candle") manufactures candles using custom-designed equipment. Spring Valley Scents, Inc. ("SVS") is the general partner of Laredo Candle. - Subsidiaries of the Company in Mexico and Puerto Rico provide sales support services to the international Displayers. - Business operations were initiated in Canada in September 2001 and consisted primarily of start-up activities. The Company has not yet formed a separate legal entity to conduct its Canadian operations. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The financial statements, having been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company considers all liquid interest-bearing instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has historically used interest rate swap agreements to limit the effect of changes in interest rates on its variable rate long-term borrowings. Periodic amounts paid or received under the swap agreements are recorded as part of interest expense. The swaps have historically contained option provisions, which are separately valued and adjusted to market quarterly. Any resulting gain or loss is included in other income (expense). There were no outstanding interest rate swaps at December 31, 2001. F-7 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) As a result of adopting SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 133"), effective January 1, 2001, the Company transferred a liability balance of approximately $456,000 related to the deferred gain on the terminated swap portion of an interest rate swap to Other Comprehensive Income. This balance was fully amortized into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense during 2001. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or current market price. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the declining balance and straight-line methods over estimated useful lives. Major expenditures for property, plant and equipment and those which substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. Direct costs of developing software, including programming and enhancements, are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives once the software is placed in service. Software training costs, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the financial statements and any resulting gains or losses are included in operating income. SELF INSURANCE The Company is primarily self-insured for workers' compensation. Self-insurance liabilities are based on claims filed and estimates for claims incurred but not reported. These liabilities are not discounted. INCOME TAXES The Company files its federal income tax return on a consolidated basis. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes, based upon enacted tax rates in effect for the periods the tax differences are expected to be settled or realized. SALES RECOGNITION As a result of adopting Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101), effective January 1, 2000, revenue from product sales is recognized upon receipt of shipment by the Displayers. Prior to the adoption of SAB 101, revenue was recognized when products were shipped. Provisions for discounts, returns, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. There was no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of SAB 101 as the Company had historically ceased shipping product to Displayers during the latter part of December. SHIPPING AND HANDLING The costs associated with shipping and handling are separately disclosed as part of operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. F-8 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The balance sheet accounts of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rate. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for each period. Translation gains and losses are included in shareholders' deficit. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' balances to conform with current year presentation. MARKETABLE SECURITIES In November 2000, the Company sold marketable securities classified as available for sale. At that time, these securities had a book value of $1.7 million. Cash in the amount of $2.0 million was received in exchange for the stock resulting in a realized gain of $0.3 million. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair market value due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of variable rate long-term debt also approximate fair market value as their interest rates are based on current interest rates. The Notes had a carrying value of $200.0 million as of December 31, 2000 and $149.1 million as of December 31, 2001. The Notes had a fair value of approximately $71.0 million as of December 31, 2000 and $113.6 million as of December 31, 2001 based upon quoted market prices. The interest rate swap had a negative carrying value and a negative fair market value of $38,000 as of December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001 the interest rate swap had expired. 3. ACQUISITION OF LAREDO CANDLE COMPANY Prior to July 2000, the Company owned a 60% majority interest in Laredo Candle. In July 2000, the Company purchased the remaining 40% minority interest in Laredo Candle for cash of $8.7 million. Of the total purchase price, $900,000 was held in escrow and was subject to offset if certain performance standards were not satisfied by Laredo Candle during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001. In July 2001, the entire $900,000 held in escrow was released and paid to the seller. The Company accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill of $4.2 million, representing the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, is being amortized over 15 years. See Note 18. 4.

CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FACILITY On January 3, 2000, the Company entered into a ten-year lease for a new corporate headquarters location in Dallas, Texas. The Company's offices occupied approximately 75,000 square feet of office space at an annual rent of approximately $1.6 million. Tenant improvements to customize the space totaled approximately $2.9 million, of which approximately $2.0 million was borne by the landlord as improvement allowances. In December 2000, the Company moved the corporate headquarters from these facilities into the new warehouse and distribution facility. In 2001, the Company and a subtenant signed an agreement to sublease approximately 44,000 square feet of the corporate headquarters leased space commencing on February 2001 through January 2010. The rental rate begins at $67,000 per month and increases over the life of the lease to $80,000 per month. The Company has also agreed to provide the subtenant with an allowance for tenant improvements of $150,000. Included in general and administrative expenses for 2000 is $6.4 million primarily related to an accrual for the net present value of estimated future abandoned lease commitments, as adjusted for estimated future sublease rental income and deferred lease incentives of $3.8 million, and accelerated amortization on related leasehold improvements of $2.6 million. Included in other long term liabilities is the net present value of the abandoned lease commitments of approximately $4.4 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. 9.

(58,503) (15,031) -------- -------- $406,830 $302,811 ======== ======== </Table> In June of 1998 the Company issued $200.0 million of Notes and entered into a $340.0 million Senior Credit Facility, which includes $40.0 million of revolving loans (the "Revolving Loans"). The Senior Credit Facility provides for a $200.0 million term loan (the "Tranche A Loan"), a $100.0 million term loan (the "Tranche B Loan"), and $40.0 million of Revolving Loans. The Company may use the Revolving Loans for letters of credit of up to $15.0 million. Letters of credit of $1.5 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility required quarterly principal and interest payments. The Tranche A Loan and Revolving Loans mature on June 30, 2004. The Tranche B Loan matures on June 30, 2006. The Company may, at its option, prepay the term loans without premium or penalty. Additionally, the Company may reduce or eliminate its revolving loan commitment prior to maturity. The Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed unconditionally on a senior basis by the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and is collateralized by a lien on substantially all assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. There are no material restrictions on the Company's ability to obtain funds from its wholly owned subsidiaries by dividend or otherwise. The loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's election, at either the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin, the Base Rate Basis plus an applicable margin or at a Swing Line Rate that is equal to the Base Rate less a 0.5% commitment fee. The Base Rate Basis is the higher of the prime rate of Bank of America or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%. The applicable LIBOR margin is 2.0% for the Tranche A Loan and the Revolving Loans and 2.5% for the Tranche B Loan. The applicable Base Rate Basis margin is 0.75% for the Tranche A Loan and the Revolving Loans, and 1.25% for the Tranche B Loan. The interest rates on all borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility as of December 31, 2000 and 2001 were based on LIBOR. The weighted-average interest rate on the Tranche A and Tranche B borrowings F-13 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 2001 was 8.80% and 4.99%, respectively. The applicable margin with respect to the loans will be eligible for certain performance pricing step-downs. As of December 31, 2000, $30.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Loans. The Company borrowed $10.0 million of the revolver under a Swing Line advance and the remaining $20.0 million was drawn under a Base Rate advance. The weighted-average interest rate on the Revolving Loans outstanding at December 31, 2000 was 10.08%. The Revolving Loans are subject to a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loans. The commitment fee is eligible for certain performance pricing step-downs and was 0.5% per annum as of December 31, 2000 and 2001. Commitment fees of approximately $173,000 and $107,600 are included in interest expense in 2000 and 2001, respectively. The Notes bear interest at 10.125% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Notes mature on June 1, 2008 and are guaranteed, unconditionally, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Except as set forth below, the Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to June 1, 2003. Thereafter, the Notes are subject to redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices. The terms of the Notes and Senior Credit Facility include significant operating and financial restrictions, such as limits on the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, engage in mergers or consolidations, make investments and pay dividends. In addition, under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios, capital expenditure measurements, and EBITDA measurements. Subject to the financial ratios and tests, the Company will be required to make certain mandatory prepayments of the term loans on an annual basis beginning in March 2003. In January 2001, a limited partnership that includes an affiliate of Hicks Muse, certain members of the Donald J. Carter Jr. family (the "Carter Family"), and their respective affiliates (the "Note Limited Partnership") acquired, in the open market, $50.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 10 1/8% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 ("Notes") for approximately $23.0 million plus accrued interest. In March 2001, another limited partnership that includes an affiliate of Hicks Muse, certain members of the Carter Family, and their respective affiliates (the "Debt Limited Partnership") purchased $44.9 million of the Company's senior bank debt for approximately $35.6 million. This transaction is discussed further below and in Note 13. Effective March 30, 2001, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility which, among other things: (i) reduced the Revolving Loans available to the Company from $40.0 million to $30.0 million; (ii) increased pricing by 75 basis points above previous levels; (iii) provided for an amendment fee of 25 basis points immediately payable to the Lenders who executed the amendment prior to March 31, 2001; (iv) provided for a fee of $3.0 million payable to the Lenders, with the payment of such fee deferred until September 30, 2001, and which such fee was forgiven in the event that certain existing equity holders or their affiliates contribute $40.0 million in equity to the Borrower prior to September 30, 2001; (v) reset the leverage and interest coverage ratios applicable through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2001; and (vi) added additional financial covenants with respect to minimum liquidity and EBITDA. Further limitations related to capital lease obligations, liens, acquisitions, payment of management fees to affiliates, letters of credit, loans and advances to suppliers, and asset sales were also added to the Senior Credit Facility. Payment terms of interest changed from quarterly payments to monthly payments. Additionally, the amendment to the Senior Credit Facility waived compliance with the minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios of the Senior Credit Facility for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. As a result of the new financial covenant to measure liquidity, the Company classified $25.0 million of the balance outstanding under the Revolving Loans as a current liability at December 31, 2000. This represents the amount that could potentially be required to be repaid pursuant to this covenant in 2001. F-14 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Additionally, in connection with the amendment to the Senior Credit Facility, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $200,000 that have been deferred, and the Company has incurred $1.5 million in costs related to legal and consulting fees as of December 31, 2001, which are included in general and administrative expense. Additionally, in connection with the Debt Restructuring and Senior Preferred Stock issuances, the Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of $1.3 million which have been deferred and $422,000 in costs related to the Senior Preferred Stock issuance which has been recorded as a reduction to Senior Preferred Stock. The Company completed its Debt Restructuring on July 16, 2001 through the following transactions: - Transfer of $50.9 million aggregate principal amount of Notes from the Note Limited Partnership to the Company in exchange for 50,900.00 shares of 12.5% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, issued by the Company ("Senior Preferred Stock"). - Transfer of $44.9 million of the Company's senior bank debt from the Debt Limited Partnership to the Company in exchange for 44,927.98 shares of Senior Preferred Stock. - The Debt Limited Partnership purchased an additional 231 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for $231,000 cash. - The Company converted $44.9 million of the Tranche A Loan of the Senior Credit Facility into the Tranche B Loan of the Senior Credit Facility. - The Company's Senior Credit Facility was amended and restated to provide for, among other things, an increase of $10 million in the revolving credit line and the extension of the maturity dates of the Tranche A Loan and the Tranche B Loan for an additional six month period. As a result of the foregoing transactions, for financial reporting purposes, the Company wrote off $2.4 million in unamortized debt issuance costs (with a related income tax benefit of $902,000) and recorded $13.7 million of income taxes. These transactions are reflected in the Statement of Operations as an extraordinary loss. The Company will not report significant net taxable income in respect of the Debt purchase transactions and the issuance of the Preferred Stock. However, if tax is found to be due and payable by the Company with respect to such transactions prior to the termination of the Senior Credit Facility, the Note Limited Partnership and the Debt Limited Partnership are required, at their option: (i) to make a cash contribution to the capital of the Company; (ii) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at the then-current market value; or (iii) to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock, in each case in an aggregate amount equal to the net amount of tax paid by the Company. Included in general and administrative expenses as of December 31, 2001 are approximately $1.9 million in costs related to legal and consulting fees associated with the Company's Debt Restructuring. In conjunction with the Debt Restructuring, the Company designated 96,058.98 shares of Senior Preferred Stock. The shares of Senior Preferred stock shares have a par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, together with all declared or accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. In the event of any liquidation of the Company, holders of shares of Senior Preferred Stock shares shall be paid the liquidation preference plus all accrued dividends to the date of liquidation before any payments are made to the Common Stock holders. Dividends, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, are cumulative and payable quarterly beginning October 1, 2001 at the rate of 12.5% of the liquidation preference per annum. Each share of Senior Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder for 51.49330587 shares of the Company's Common Stock. F-15 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Holders of Senior Preferred Stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock into which such shares of Senior Preferred Stock are convertible on the record date for such vote. Each holder has a preemptive right to purchase a pro rata share of future securities issuances, excluding public securities issued under applicable securities laws, securities issued to employees and Displayers for incentive compensation and securities issued in exchange for assets in the normal course of business.

CAPITAL LEASES In December 1999, the Company entered into capital leases with Bank One Leasing for certain equipment associated with the automated order fulfillment system being used in the new warehouse and distribution facility. The lessor funded the equipment purchase when construction of the automated order fulfillment system was completed in April 2000. The initial term of each of the leases is seven years. Interest is imputed at approximately 6.1% per annum. Total cost of the equipment funded under this lease was approximately $6.2 million.

BENEFIT PLANS EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company's 401(k) plan covers all full-time employees who have at least six months of service and are age 18 or older. Beginning in 1999, the 401(k) plan generally allows employees to contribute up to 16% of their base salary in various investment alternatives and provides for Company matching contributions of up to 4%. The Company's matching contributions totaled $752,000 and $803,000 in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, the Board may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan at any time. The Board approved discretionary contributions of $1.0 million and $1.5 million to the 401(k) for 2000 and 2001. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has adopted stock option plans for key employees (the "Key Employee Stock Option Plan") and for Displayers and other independent contractors (the "Independent Contractor Stock Option Plan"). A trust (the "Stock Option Trust") holds and distributes stock options granted under the Independent Contractor Stock Option Plan. Options under both plans are issued at an exercise price equal to the estimated fair market value of common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under both plans vest ratably over five years and have a 10 year term; however, if an initial public offering occurs, vesting is accelerated for options issued under the Independent Contractor Stock Option Plan. KEY EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN Options for a total of 1,353,924 shares of common stock were available for grant upon the adoption of the Key Employee Stock Option Plan. As the Company's common stock is not publicly traded, the fair value of options granted to key employees was estimated on the date of grant using the minimum value method of option pricing and the assumptions set forth below in order to determine compensation expense for disclosure purposes only in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). The Company accounts for options issued under the Key Employee Stock Option Plan in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"). INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN Options for a total of 338,481 shares were available for grant to the Stock Option Trust for the benefit of certain Displayers and other independent contractors upon the adoption of the Independent Contractor Stock Option Plan. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes method of option pricing based on the assumptions set forth below in order to determine F-17 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) compensation expense for the period. As the Company's common stock is not publicly traded, a volatility factor for a peer group of public companies is utilized in the Black-Scholes model. The Company accounts for options issued under the Independent Contractor Stock Option Plan in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Compensation expense (credit) totaled $912,000, ($351,000), and ($62,000) for 1999, 2000 and 2001.

RESTRUCTURING, REDUNDANCY AND REORGANIZATION HOMCO RESTRUCTURING On April 1, 2000, the Company discontinued operations at Homco's manufacturing and warehouse facility in McKinney, Texas and transferred operations to GIA's facility in Grand Island, Nebraska. The Company incurred approximately $1.0 million of non-recurring costs related to the combination of Homco's operations into GIA and recorded a non-recurring charge amount in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. On May 15, 2000, the Company sold Homco's manufacturing and warehouse facility to Donald J. Carter, Jr., the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, for approximately $3.7 million. The Company used the proceeds from the sale, together with approximately $1.7 million in proceeds from the sale of another property, to purchase an undivided interest in the Company's new warehouse and distribution facility. This exchange qualified as a Section 1031 like-kind exchange under the Internal Revenue Code. REDUNDANT WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION COST The Company's previously announced plan to consolidate its several distribution centers into a single facility was contingent upon timely integration and implementation of its automated order fulfillment system. This plan anticipated a significant warehouse and distribution headcount reduction in connection with the consolidation process. The Company encountered delays and problems associated with the design and implementation of the automated order fulfillment system and the overall productivity of the consolidated distribution facility. These delays forced the Company to hire additional temporary laborers and retain existing warehouse employees longer than originally anticipated. In addition, the Company continued to operate two of its older manual order fulfillment distribution facilities longer then was anticipated. In October 2000, one of the two manual operations was moved into the consolidated distribution facility. The Company has extended the lease term on the other manual distribution facility for a period of five years. Redundant warehouse and distribution costs resulting from the issues discussed above were approximately $6.1 million and $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. These costs consist primarily of incremental labor associated with productivity issues at the new consolidated distribution facility, costs of operating certain manual distribution centers longer than anticipated and consolidation of the manual distribution centers into the new distribution facility. F-19 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) REORGANIZATION COST During 2000, the Company implemented a corporate reorganization plan that included among other things, staff reductions and the elimination of excess facility costs. As part of the reorganization, the Company has downsized various departments. In December 2000, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters to the new warehouse and distribution facility. As a result of the move, the Company was able to sublet 44,000 square feet to a subtenant and has accelerated amortization of the related leasehold improvements. During 2001 in addition to redundant headquarter facility costs associated with the Company's reorganization plan, the Company incurred non-capitalizable legal fees related to obtaining a waiver for the Senior Credit Facility and Debt Restructuring. Included in selling and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income are the following amounts associated with the Company's reorganization plan as of December 31: <Table> <Caption> 2000 2001 ------ ------ Staff reductions, excess facilities cost and other.......... $1,723 $3,177 Debt restructuring.......................................... -- 3,419 Lease abandonment costs and accelerated amortization of leasehold improvements.................................... 6,474 -- ------ ------ $8,197 $6,596 ====== ====== </Table> 13.

The Company paid the supplier $10.7 million and $12.4 million during 1999 and 2000, respectively. There were no amounts due this supplier as of December 31, 2000. The Company engages the services of a freight company controlled by former Directors of the Company to handle a small portion of its freight. The Company paid this freight company $108,000, $110,000 and $25,000 during 1999, 2000 and 2001 for its services. There were no amounts due this supplier as of December 31, 2000 and 2001. In conjunction with the June 1998 Recapitalization, the Company entered into an agreement requiring payment of a quarterly management fee to Hicks Muse and reimbursement of general expenses. The management fee will be adjusted annually, but in no event will the annual fee be less than $1.0 million or exceed $1.5 million. Management fees and reimbursements of general expenses totaled $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million during 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively. In addition, if the Board requests Hicks Muse to perform additional financial advisory services in the future, Hicks Muse will receive a financial F-20 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) advisory fee. The management agreement with Hicks Muse terminates on June 4, 2008 or earlier under certain circumstances. On June 4, 1998, the Company entered into a five-year executive employment agreement with its former chief executive officer with annual compensation of $200,000, plus reimbursement for certain expenses. The agreement generally requires the Company to pay the former chief executive officer's salary throughout the five-year term unless he voluntarily terminates his employment during such term. The agreement, which contains a covenant not to compete with the Company during the employment term and for three years thereafter, can be voluntarily terminated only by the employee. In 1999, 2000, and 2001 the Company paid the former chief executive officer approximately $201,000, $200,000 and $266,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of his executive employment agreement. The Company purchased inventory from a supplier who was also the minority owner of Laredo Candle through July of 2000. The Company paid the supplier $12.7 million during 2000. As of December 31, 2000 there were no amounts due to the minority owner. During 1999, 2000 and 2001, Board fees were paid to certain outside Directors which totaled $32,500, $33,000 and $24,000 respectively. In January 2001, Hicks Muse acquired in the open market, $50.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 10 1/8% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 ("Notes") for approximately $23.0 million plus accrued interest. In March 2001, the Debt Limited Partnership purchased $44.9 million of the Company's senior bank debt for approximately $35.6 million. During 2001, the Company contributed approximately $784,000 to a not-for-profit charity organization that was established in September 2001. The Company and the charity share some of the same officers. Amounts due to this charitable organization totaled approximately $120,000 as of December 31, 2001. During 2001, the Company paid a related party approximately $10,000 for marketing related expenses. 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings incidental to its normal business activities. Because most of the claims are covered by insurance, management believes that the amounts, if any, which ultimately may be due in connection with such lawsuits and claims would not have a material effect upon the Company. 15. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company's reportable segments are based upon functional lines of business as follows: - Home Interiors "HI" -- direct seller of home decorative accessories in the United States; - Manufacturing -- manufactures framed artwork and mirrors, as well as various types of molded plastic products and candles for Home Interiors; and - International -- direct seller of home decorative accessories in Mexico and Puerto Rico. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on earnings before interest, taxes, the effects of SAB 101, depreciation and amortization, reorganization costs, redundant warehouse and distribution expenses, Homco restructuring, non-cash (expenses) credit for stock options and gains on sale of assets, Senior Credit Facility restructure and amendment fees and other income (expense) ("EBITDA"). The accounting principles of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Segment data includes intersegment sales. Eliminations consist primarily of intersegment sales between Manufacturing and HI, as well as the elimination of the investment in each subsidiary for F-21 HOME INTERIORS & GIFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) consolidated purposes.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141") was issued on July 20, 2001. SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement as of July 1, 2001, and there was no financial accounting impact associated with its adoption. SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142") was issued on July 20, 2001. SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and must be applied at the beginning of a fiscal year and to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in the financial statements at that date. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, there will be no amortization of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives. Impairment of these assets will need to be assessed annually and in special circumstances. Application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 is expected to result in an increase in pretax income of approximately $391,000 per year. SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued in October 2001. SFAS No. 144 provides new guidance on the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of and also broadens the definition of what constitutes a discontinued operation and how the results of a discontinued operation are to be measured and presented. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and must be applied at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement on January 1, 2002 and does not anticipate any material financial accounting impact associated with its adoption. In September 2001, the EITF issued EITF 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or Reseller of the Vendor's Products", which addresses the income statement characterization of stock option awards, royalties, and other cash consideration the Company pays its District Directors, Branch Directors, Group Directors, Unit Directors and Trainers. The provisions of EITF 01-09 are required to be adopted starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
