                                  PART II
                          RULE 12b-25 (b) AND (c)

      If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort
or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

      | (a)  not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
      | (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
      |      report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion
      |      thereof will be filed on or before the 15th day following the
 |X|  |      prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or
      |      transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be
      |      filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the
      |      prescribed due date; and
      | (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule

                              PART III
                              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.

      As a result of the significant time and effort expended by the
management of Sunbeam Corporation (the "Company") in connection with the
negotiation of a credit facility amendment, the Company is unable to
complete the required analysis for its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000. As a result, the Company will
not be in a position to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000. Nevertheless, the Company does
intend to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2000, 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.



                               PART IV
                          OTHER INFORMATION

notification:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
     (Name)                     (Area Code)               (Telephone Number)

      (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such
shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s)
been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).

                                                     |_| Yes   |X| No

      The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999, which was required to be filed with the Commission on or
before March 31, 2000, was not filed with the Commission until May 2, 2000.
The Company's Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, which
was required to be filed with the Commission on or before June 28, 2000,
was not filed with the Commission until July 7, 2000.

      (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report
or portion thereof?

                                                    |_| Yes   |X|  No

      If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why
a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
