                         Report of Independent Auditors

Diamond Brands Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Diamond Brands
Incorporated and Subsidiaries (Debtor-in-Possession) as of December 31, 2002,
and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' deficit, and
cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Diamond Brands Incorporated and
Subsidiaries (Debtor-in-Possession) as of December 31, 2002, and the result of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 31, 2002

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Diamond Brands Incorporated (Holdings) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Diamond
Brands Operating Corp. (Operating Corp.), and Operating Corp.'s wholly owned
subsidiary, Forster Inc. (Forster), and Diamond Brands Kansas, Inc. (DBK) after
elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. Holdings,
Operating Corp., and its wholly owned subsidiary are referred to collectively as
"the Company."

The Company is a manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of consumer
products, including wooden matches and firestarters; plastic cutlery and straws;
and toothpicks, clothespins, and wooden crafts. The Company's products are
marketed primarily in the United States and Canada under the nationally
recognized Diamond(R) and Forster(R) brand names. During 2002, one customer
accounted for 24% of gross sales. As of December 31, 2002, this customer
represented approximately 50% of trade accounts receivable.

2. PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11

On March 31, 2001, the Company was unable to make a bank term loan payment of
$1,250,000 that was due. As a result, the Company was out of compliance with the
financial covenants contained in the credit agreement as discussed in Note 6 and
the Company's revolving line of credit was no longer available. Without the
ability to borrow on the line of credit, the Company was unable to pay
$5,062,500 of interest due on April 15, 2001, relating to the senior
subordinated notes. On May 22, 2001 (the Filing Date), the Company filed
voluntary petitions for reorganization (the Filing) under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court). The bankruptcy case numbers are
01-01825, 01-01826, 01-01827, and 01-01828. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company have been presented in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code, and have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States applicable to a going concern, which principles, except as
otherwise disclosed, assume that assets will be realized and liabilities will be
discharged in the normal course of business.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


2. PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11 (CONTINUED)

Under the Filing, certain claims against the Company in existence prior to the
Filing Date were stayed while the Company continues to operate as a
debtor-in-possession. These claims are reflected in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as "liabilities subject to compromise." Additional
claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the Filing
Date resulting from the rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and
from the determination by the Bankruptcy Court of allowed claims for
contingencies and other disputed amounts. Claims secured by the Company's assets
also are stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to petition
the Bankruptcy Court for relief from the stay. Secured claims are secured
primarily by liens on the Company's assets.

The principal categories and the balances of liabilities that have been
reclassified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as liabilities
subject to compromise are set forth below. These amounts may be subject to
future adjustments depending upon Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments
with respect to disputed claims, whether or not such claims are secured, and the
value of any security interests securing such claims or other events.
Liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2002 consisted of the
following (in thousands):

The Company received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise
honor certain of its prepetition obligations, including employee wages. The
Company has determined that there is insufficient collateral to cover the
interest portion of scheduled payments on its prepetition debt obligations;
therefore, the Company has discontinued accruing interest as of the Filing Date.
The Company has discontinued preferred stock dividends and accretion as of the
Filing Date.

2. PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11 (CONTINUED)

Concurrent with the Filing, the Company negotiated a new credit facility
referred to as the Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the DIP Agreement)
with its existing bank group, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the
agent bank. The DIP Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The DIP
Agreement provides for an $8,200,000 revolving credit line and also converted
the prepetition secured bank debt (revolving line of credit and the term loan
facilities) into debt under the DIP Agreement. On April 30, 2002, the DIP
Agreement matured by its terms and all obligations under the DIP Agreement
became immediately due and payable. The Company was able to obtain forbearance
agreements that have been effectively extended through the effective date of the
Plan of Reorganization. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has not borrowed
additional amounts from the Agreement. The Company has paid all of the Agreement
interest and fees as due monthly.

The Debtors' Disclosure Statement with Respect to Joint Plan of Reorganization
of Diamond Brands Operating Corp. and Its Debtor Affiliates Proposed by the
Debtors and Jarden Corporation (the Plan) was approved by the Bankruptcy Court
on December 13, 2002. On December 17, 2002, the debtors and their Plan
co-proponent, Jarden Corporation, filed the Plan. Modifications to the Plan were
filed on January 24, 2003 and January 29, 2003. The Plan, as modified, was
confirmed by order of the Bankruptcy Court on January 29, 2003. The effective
date of the Plan was February 7, 2003.

The Plan included the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company
(the Sale). The proceeds of the Sale were allocated, in accordance with the Plan
and the Confirmation Order, to pay allowed Debtor in Possession Facility Claims,
allowed administrative claims, allowed priority tax claims, administrative tax
claims arising as a result of the Sale, and, to the extent that funds are
available after the payment of the claims mentioned above, to pay pro rata
distributions to holders of allowed general unsecured claims.

The sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company for cash and,
potentially, a distribution of Jarden Corporation common stock totaling
approximately $92,000,000 was closed on February 7, 2003. Cash proceeds will be
used to pay debt outstanding under the DIP Agreement, and allowed administrative
claims, with any remaining consideration available to holders of allowed general
unsecured claims.

REORGANIZATION COSTS

Reorganization costs under Chapter 11 are items of expense or income that are
incurred or realized by the Company because it is in reorganization. These
include, but are not limited to, professional fees and similar types of
expenditures incurred directly relating to the Chapter 11 proceeds.
Reorganization costs from the Filing Date through December 31, 2002 consisted of
the following (in thousands):

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts and
inventory obsolescence reserves. Ultimate results could differ from those
estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less at acquisition and are stated at cost, which
approximates fair value. The Company has restricted cash of $150,000 in an
account with US Bank.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
2002 for accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to
the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. As the interest rates on
the revolving line of credit and term loan facilities are reset monthly based on
current market rates, the carrying value of these financial instruments
approximates fair value. Given the Company's bankruptcy status and the Plan of
Reorganization, the prepetition senior subordinated notes and debentures and the
convertible debt as of December 31, 2002 are presumed to have no fair value. The
fair value of interest rate swap agreements is described in Note 4.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out or market and include
materials, labor, and overhead.

Inventories consisted of the following as of December 31, 2002 (in thousands):



                                                          
   Raw materials                                                   $  2,941
   Work-in-process                                                      320
   Finished goods                                                     8,631
                                                             -------------------
                                                                    $11,892
                                                             ===================


PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial
reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives of 5 to 29 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years
for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. Depreciation expense was approximately $2,322,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the fair value of the
net assets acquired.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No.
142, goodwill is no longer amortized but must be tested for impairment annually,
or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely
than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company performed an impairment test of goodwill under SFAS No. 142 using
the fair value of assets and liabilities implicit in the Plan of Reorganization
and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue for products sold is recognized at the time of shipment.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise
during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances from
nonowner resources. For the Company, comprehensive income represents net income
adjusted for the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and the
minimum pension liability. The Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive
income in the consolidated statement of stockholders' deficit.

4. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities under
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge criteria are met.

The Company had entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a financial
institution that limits its exposure to interest rate volatility of its variable
rate debt by effectively converting a portion of variable rate debt to fixed
rate debt. As of December 31, 2002, the notional principal amount of this
agreement totaled $40,000,000, with a fixed LIBOR rate of 5.98%. Notional
amounts are not reflective of the Company's

obligations under this agreement because the Company is only obligated to pay
the net amount of interest rate differential between the fixed and variable
LIBOR rates in the contracts. The fair value of the outstanding contract, which
represents the estimated amount that the bank would receive or pay to terminate
the swap agreements at the reporting date taking into account current interest
rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties, was a net
payable position of approximately $921,000 at December 31, 2002. The offset of
this payable is recorded in other comprehensive loss. The financial institution
has asserted that this obligation is fully secured by the Company's assets.

5. RECAPITALIZATION

Holdings entered into a recapitalization agreement in 1998 (the Recapitalization
Agreement) with its existing stockholders (the Stockholders), Seaver Kent-TPG
Partners, L.P. and Seaver Kent I Parallel, L.P. (collectively, the Sponsors),
that provided for the recapitalization of Holdings. Pursuant to the
Recapitalization Agreement, the Sponsors and other investors purchased from
Holdings, for an aggregate purchase price of $47,000,000, shares of pay-in-kind
preferred stock of Holdings (Holdings Preferred Stock), together with warrants
(the Warrants) to purchase shares of common stock of Holdings (Holdings Common
Stock). The shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of
the Warrants would represent 77.5% of the outstanding shares of Holdings Common
Stock after giving effect to such issuance. In addition, Holdings purchased (the
Equity Repurchase) for $211,421,000, subject to certain working capital
adjustments, from the Stockholders all outstanding shares of Holdings' capital
stock other than shares (the Retained Shares) of Holdings Common Stock having an
implied value (based solely on the per share price to be paid in the Equity
Repurchase) of $15,000,000 (the Implied Value), which will continue to be held
by certain of the Stockholders. The Retained Shares represent 22.5% of the
outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock after giving effect to the full
exercise of the Warrants. Holdings, the Sponsors, and the holders of the
Retained Shares also entered into a stockholders' agreement pursuant to which,
among other things, the Sponsors have the ability to direct the voting of
outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock in proportion to their ownership of
such shares as if the Warrants were exercised in full. Accordingly, the Sponsors
have voting control of Holdings.

5. RECAPITALIZATION (CONTINUED)

In connection with the Recapitalization, Holdings organized Operating Corp., and
immediately prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization, Holdings
transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities to Operating Corp.
Holdings' future operations are limited to owning the stock of Operating Corp.
Operating Corp. repaid substantially all of the Company's funded debt
obligations existing immediately before the consummation of the Recapitalization
in the amount of $51,834,000 (the Debt Retirement).

Funding requirements of the Recapitalization were $296,470,000 (including the
Implied Value of the Retained Shares) and were satisfied through the Retained
Shares and the following: (i) the purchase by the Sponsors and other investors
of Holdings Preferred Stock and the Warrants for $47,000,000 ($45,783,000 in
cash and $1,217,000 in officer notes receivables); (ii) $45,105,000 of gross
proceeds from the offering of 12.875% senior discount debentures (the
Debentures); (iii) $80,000,000 of borrowings under senior secured term loan
facilities (the Term Loan Facilities) provided by a syndicate of lenders
(collectively, the Banks); (iv) $10,582,000 of borrowings under a senior secured
revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility, together with the Term
Loan Facilities, and the Bank Facilities) with availability of up to $25,000,000
provided by the Banks; and (v) $100,000,000 of gross proceeds from the sale by
Operating Corp. of 10.125% senior subordinated notes (the Notes).

The Equity Repurchase, the Debentures, the Debt Retirement, the issuance and
sale by Holdings of Holdings Preferred Stock and the Warrants, the borrowing by
Operating Corp. of funds under the Bank Facilities and the issuance and sale by
Operating Corp. of the Notes are collectively referred to herein as the
Recapitalization. The Recapitalization was accounted for as a Recapitalization
transaction for accounting purposes.

6. DEBT (CONTINUED)

On April 26, 2000, certain stockholders made a $9,425,000, 12.875% bridge loan
to the Company. The proceeds were used to retire $45,000,000 face value
($31,072,051 accreted value) senior discount debentures on April 27, 2000. This
resulted in an extraordinary gain of $12,398,000, net of income taxes of
$8,265,000. Effective June 2, 2000, the bridge loan, plus accrued interest, was
exchanged for $9,549,000 of 12.875% unsecured convertible debt. Interest
compounds semiannually on each April 15 and October 15. All accrued interest is
due and payable on April 15, 2003 and payable semiannually on each October 15
and April 15 thereafter.

to prepetition debt and other issues related to the bankruptcy reorganization.
The Company was notified on January 16, 2003 that the government is planning to
review these items upon filing of the Company's 2003 income tax return. A
valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company established
a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2002 for its net deferred tax
assets due to the uncertainty related to their ultimate realization. The Company
arrived at such a decision considering several factors, including, but not
limited to, historical cumulative losses incurred by the Company and anticipated
continued losses and uncertainty of resolution of income tax issues raised by
the Justice Department as part of the bankruptcy filing.

9. REDEEMABLE CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Holdings Preferred Stock and the
Warrants were allocated based on the relative fair values of the securities
issued. The value assigned to the Warrants of $12,320,000, less issuance costs
of $326,000, has been reflected as a discount to the Holdings Preferred Stock,
which was accreted to its mandatory redemption value using the effective
interest method (15% effective yield) up to the Filing Date. The Warrant
Agreement allows the warrant holder to require the Warrants to be purchased by
the Company at fair value if certain conditions set forth in the Warrant
Agreement exist.

During 1998, 417,382 shares of Holdings Common Stock were issued in connection
with the exercise of the Warrants and 10,582 Warrants were repurchased by
Holdings. During 1999, 52,436 Warrants were repurchased by Holdings. During
2000, 10,582 Warrants were repurchased by Holdings. No Warrants were repurchased
by Holdings during 2001 or 2002. As of December 31, 2002, 3,205,528 Warrants
remained outstanding.

MANAGEMENT AND TRANSACTION ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company entered into a ten-year
agreement (the Management Advisory Agreement) with Seaver Kent & Company, LLC
(Seaver Kent), pursuant to which Seaver Kent is entitled to receive from the
Company an annual fee for management advisory services equal to the greater of
$200,000 or 0.05% of the budgeted consolidated net sales of the Company. In
addition, the Company agreed to indemnify Seaver Kent, its affiliates and
shareholders, and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, and
affiliates, from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, demands,
liabilities, damages, judgments, assessments, losses, and costs, including fees
and expenses, arising out of or in connection with the services rendered by
Seaver Kent thereunder. The Management Advisory Agreement makes available the
resources of Seaver Kent concerning a variety of financial and operational
matters. The services to be provided by Seaver Kent cannot otherwise be obtained
by the Company without the addition of personnel or the engagement of outside
professional advisors. The Company and Seaver Kent verbally agreed to end this
agreement during 2002 due to the bankruptcy. Total expense related to the
agreement was $70,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
