NOTE D - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
The components of goodwill and other intangibles at the end of the first quarter
of 2002 and at year-end 2001, in millions of dollars, are as follows:
March 30 December 29

Other intangibles 54.9 54.3
Accumulated amortization (34.7) (34.4)
------- -------
$ 235.4 $ 236.1
======= =======
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142), there is no amortization
of goodwill recorded in the first quarter of 2002. The company records
amortization expense for its other intangibles, primarily patents, copyrights
and trademarks. First quarter amortization expense for these assets totaled $0.4
million in 2002 and $0.7 million in 2001.
NOTE E - OTHER-NET
Other-net in the first quarter of 2001 included a pre-tax non-recurring pension
curtailment gain of $29.3 million, or $0.22 per share.
NOTE F - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January, 2002 the company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue
Number 00-25 "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration to a
Purchaser of the Vendor's Products or Services". EITF 00-25 requires the
reclassification of certain customer promotional payments previously reported in
selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a reduction of revenue,
and prior periods must be restated for comparability of results. First quarter
2002 net sales include $4.9 million of co-operative advertising (co-op) amounts
that would have been recorded to SG&A under the company's previous accounting
policy. In addition, first quarter 2001 net sales and SG&A are $4.6 million
lower than previously published amounts reflecting reclassification of co-op
expenses.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142. This
statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an
indefinite life not be amortized. Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible
assets deemed to have an indefinite life, the statement requires a test for
impairment to be performed annually, or immediately if conditions indicate that
such an impairment could exist. The Company adopted the statement effective
January 1, 2002. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, the Company will no
longer record goodwill amortization. Goodwill amortization included in other-net
for the first quarter of 2001, totaled $1.3 million ($0.9 million, net of
taxes), or $.01 per share. Thus first quarter 2001 pro forma net income and
diluted earnings per share, excluding goodwill amortization, is $47.5 million
and $0.55, respectively. The company did not recognize an impairment loss upon
adoption of this statement in 2002.
NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
At the company's annual meeting on May 9, 2002, shareholders voted, among other
things, to approve the previously announced proposal to reincorporate in
Bermuda. At the annual meeting certain shareholders who were participants in the
company's 401(k) plan expressed some confusion with respect to voting procedures
for shares held in the plan.
Although the company believes the shareholder vote at the annual meeting to be
fair and appropriate, it acknowledged concerns that participants in the
company's 401(k) plan may have been confused about 401(k) plan voting
procedures. In order to eliminate any confusion and even the appearance of
impropriety and to ensure that the company acts in accordance with its
shareholders' wishes, on May 10, 2002, the company's Board of Directors
authorized a revote on the reorganization.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales were $617 million in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to $622
million in the first quarter of 2001, representing a decrease of less than 1%.
The company continues to experience sales volume declines in the Tools segment
due to the softness in the commercial and industrial tools markets. The decline
was attributable to the continued weakness across industrial tools channels. The
decline in these markets was partially offset by an increase in net sales from
strong sales in the Tools and Doors segments within the consumer markets.
The company reported gross profit of $216 million, or 34.9% of net sales in the
first quarter of 2002 compared to $223 million, or 35.9% of net sales in 2001.
Included in the cost of sales in 2001 were $6 million of one-time business
repositioning charges. Gross profit in 2001, excluding these special charges,
was 36.8%. The decline in the gross profit percentage of 190 basis points versus
the prior year was primarily the result of a mix shift from higher margin to
lower margin activities as well as lower production levels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) reported by the company were
$135 million, or 21.9% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2002, compared to
$149 million, or 24.0% of net sales, in the prior year. Included in SG&A for
2001 were $3 million of one-time business repositioning charges. Excluding these
costs, SG&A decreased $11 million or 150 basis points below first quarter 2001
levels. The decline in SG&A was a result of the company's restructuring
initiatives in the first and fourth quarters of 2001 that were highlighted by a
decline in personnel and facility costs. Partially offsetting the decline in
SG&A costs in the first quarter of 2002 were approximately $2 million in
expenses related to the company's proposed reincorporation to Bermuda.
Other-net in 2001 includes a $29 million pension curtailment gain as well as $2
million of one-time business repositioning charges. Excluding these one-time
charges and credits, other-net expenses in 2002 decreased as a result of the
elimination of $1.3 million of goodwill amortization from the implementation of
SFAS 142 and improvement in the company's Mac Advantage financing program.
The company's income tax rate was 32% in the first quarter this year compared to
33%, excluding the tax impact of special charges and credits, in the prior year.
The decline in the effective rate reflects the continued benefit of
organizational and structural changes, primarily in Europe.
The discussion of the results of operations above include special charges and
credits that were incurred in the first quarter of 2001. These items include:
o a pre-tax, non-recurring $29 million pension curtailment gain pertaining
to the U.S. plans in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 88 "Employers'
Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension
Plans and for Termination Benefits".
-8-
o an $11 million one-time charge associated with several business
repositionings, primarily in the Tools segment. These charges were
classified in the statement of operations for 2001 as follows: (i) $0.7 -
net sales, (ii) $5.5 million - cost of sales, (iii) $3.3 million - SG&A
and (iv) $1.7 million - other net.
BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
The Tools segment includes carpenters, mechanics, pneumatic and hydraulic tools
as well as tool sets. The Doors segment includes commercial and residential
doors, both automatic and manual, as well as closet doors and systems, home
decor and door and consumer hardware. Segment eliminations are excluded.
Tools sales in the first quarter of 2002 decreased 2% to $478 million from $488
million in the prior year's first quarter. The decrease was primarily from
continued declines caused by weak industrial and commercial markets partially
offset by strong sales in consumer markets. The Tools segment operating profit,
excluding special credits and charges of $10 million in 2001, was 14.6% of net
sales for the first quarter of 2001 as compared with 12.9% in 2002. The decline
in operating profit is a result of the sales decline and the shift of those
sales from the industrial channels to the less profitable retail channels. Doors
segment sales increased to $139 million, or 4% in the first quarter of 2002, on
strong sales to the consumer markets. The Doors segment operating profit
increased to 13.4% of net sales in the first quarter of 2002 compared with 8.8%
of net sales, excluding special credits and charges, in the same period last
year. This increase was driven primarily from productivity gains within the
company's hardware business as a result of manufacturing moves to low cost
countries.
RESTRUCTURING
As a result of initiatives for reduction of its cost structure the company
recorded an $18 million charge for restructuring-related severance obligations
in the first quarter of 2001.
Restructuring reserves as of the beginning of 2002 were $39 million. These
reserves consisted of $27 million related to severance, $6 million related to
asset write-downs, and $6 million related to other exit costs. In the first
quarter of 2002, severance of $11 million and asset write-downs and other exit
costs of $5 million, reduced these reserves to $23 million.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
In the first quarter of 2002, the company's cash from operating activities
increased from the prior year from a use of $21 million in 2001 to a source of
cash totaling $21 million in 2002. The primary driver for the positive cash flow
in the first quarter of 2002 versus 2001 was the management of inventory levels
that resulted in a source of cash in 2002 of $11 million as inventory balances
declined from year-end. In 2001, increasing inventory levels resulted in a use
of cash of $29 million. As a result of the company's positive operating cash
flow in the first quarter of 2002, net cash from financing activities changed
significantly from a source of funds in 2001 of $58 million to a use of funds in
2002 of $8 million as the company did not have to draw on funds to manage
working capital requirements
