NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements of Syratech Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, certain information normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal and recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

4. INCOME TAXES
The benefit for income taxes for the nine month period ended September 30,
1998 has been computed using the estimated effective full year tax rate.
Realization of the income tax benefit is dependent upon generating sufficient
future taxable income due to carry-back limitations imposed by the Internal
Revenue Code. Although realization is not assured, management believes
it is more likely than not that the income tax benefit will be realized through
future taxable earnings.

5. REVOLVING LOAN FACILITIES AND NOTES PAYABLE
On May 28, 1998, the Company renewed its Wallace International de Puerto
Rico, Inc. $1,000 credit facility. The renewed facility expires on May 30, 1999.
The Company's C.J. Vander Ltd. subsidiary renewed its overdraft facility on
September 18, 1998 ("Overdraft Facility") which provides for borrowings of
(pound)500. Borrowings made under the Overdraft Facility bear interest at the
bank's base rate plus 1%. The Overdraft Facility contains customary covenants,
and borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of C.J.Vander Ltd.
The Overdraft Facility is due on demand and expires on March 11, 1999.
Availability under the Overdraft Facility was (pound)340 at September 30, 1998.
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The
following is presented in accordance with this statement:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
-------------------------------
1998 1997
------------ -------------
Net loss applicable to common stockholders ........... $(8,994) $(4,050)
Other comprehensive income, net of tax:
Foreign currency translation adjustments .......... (270) (369)
------- -------

======= =======
Accumulated other comprehensive income reported in the Condensed Consolidated
balance sheets consists only of foreign currency translation adjustments.
7. OFFICERS RETIREMENT PLAN
In connection with the April 16, 1997 merger of the Company with THL
Transaction I Corp, a corporation controlled by affiliates of Thomas H. Lee
Company (the "Merger"), the Company amended its Employment Agreement with
Leonard Florence. This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (i) provided
for a change in his term of full-time employment from a rolling five-year term
to a fixed five-year term, (ii) provided for a minimum base compensation of
$1.15 million per annum, (iii) established $1.15 million as the minimum amount
upon which his retirement benefit (and survivors benefit of his surviving
spouse) will be computed and (iv) created contractual rights with respect to
certain perquisites that were accorded to him informally under his prior
arrangement with the Company. On July 29, 1998, the Company entered into
Amendment No. 1 to Mr. Florence's Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
which provides, among other things, for the modification of the computation and
timing of payments in respect of the retirement benefit. The terms of the
Amendment provide for the acceleration of payments (the first of which was made
upon execution of the Amendment) related to the retirement benefit provided that
such payments are allowed under the terms of the Company's credit agreements, as
amended. The amended terms did not have a material impact on the condensed
consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). The Company will be required
to adopt the provisions of this statement in its annual financial statements for
fiscal 1998. SFAS 131 establishes new standards for reporting information about
operating segments. The Company believes the segment information required to be
disclosed under SFAS 131 will be more comprehensive than previously provided,
including expanded disclosure of statement of operations and balance sheet items
for each reportable operating segment. The Company has not yet completed its
analysis of the operating segments on which it will report.
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 ("SFAS 132"), "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". SFAS 132 standardizes the
disclosure requirement for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the
extent practicable. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those
plans. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of this statement in
its annual financial statements for fiscal 1998. The adoption of these
provisions will not have a material impact upon the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
9. SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial statements as of
September 30, 1998 and 1997 present separate financial information for the
Company ("Issuer/Guarantor Parent"), the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the 1998 presentation. Separate financial statements of each
guarantor are not presented because management believes that such statements
would not be materially different from the information presented herein.

Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to three months ended
September 30, 1997
Net sales decreased 4.1% to $104.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from $109.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997. This change is primarily due to decreased sales of Silvestri Christmas
products due to lower demand, and to delayed receipt of Christmas lighting
related to a change in Underwriters Laboratories (UL) lighting standards. In
addition, Silvestri experienced late vendor shipments due to freight container
shortages. Changes in normal product prices did not materially impact net sales.
Gross profit decreased 9.2% to $29.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from $32.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 27.9% for the 1998 third quarter
compared to 29.5% for the comparable 1997 period. The 1.6 percentage point
decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily a result of the decreased
Silvestri shipments which carry relatively high margins. The change in gross
profit as a percentage of sales was not materially impacted by change in product
pricing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S, G & A expenses") of $17.4
million improved to 16.7% as a percentage of net sales for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from 17.3% or $18.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The improved cost performance primarily results from
consolidation of the formerly Dallas-based Silvestri administration and sales
activities into the Company's Corporate headquarters in Boston, MA.
15
Income from operations was $13.2 million and $13.5 million for the third
quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively, and included other operating income of
$1.4 million and $0.2 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase in
other operating income is primarily due to increased Farberware license revenue
and collection of accounts receivable related to 1997 sales of Farberware
inventory which had previously been reserved as doubtful.
Interest expense was $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30,
1998 compared to $5.8 million in the same period of 1997. This increase results
from increased borrowings for capital expenditures and working capital purposes.
The provision for income taxes was $1.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997. The tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 reflected
an adjustment which offset the tax benefit recorded for the quarter ended June
30, 1997. In the subsequent quarter ended December 31, 1997, management
identified tax strategies which led to the recognition of a deferred tax asset.
Net income applicable to common stockholders was $4.3 million or $1.15
diluted per share and $1.9 million or $0.51 diluted per share, for the third
quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively, on adjusted weighted average shares of
3,784,018.
Nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to nine months ended
September 30, 1997
Net sales decreased 4.9% to $184.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $194.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. This decrease is primarily due to lower Silvestri regular and liquidation
sales. Silvestri liquidation sales were unusually high in the first quarter of
1997 as the Company closed out inventory acquired in the 1996 acquisition of the
Silvestri product line. Other giftware product line sales were also lower due to
shipment timing. Changes in normal product prices did not materially impact net
sales.
Gross profit decreased 6.9% to $52.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $56.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 28.3% for the 1998 nine months
compared to 28.9% for the comparable 1997 period. The 0.6 percentage point
decrease in gross profit percentage reflects the unfavorable sales mix resulting
from the reduced sales of Silvestri Christmas items. The decrease in gross
profit as a percentage of sales was not materially impacted by change in normal
product pricing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S, G & A expenses") decreased
to 25.9% as a percentage of net sales or $47.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from 26.6% or $51.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. Excluding the one-time charge of $3.9 million for stock
option compensation expense, S, G & A expenses were 24.6% as a percentage of net
sales or $47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The 1.3
percentage point increase in 1998 reflects higher severance related to the
consolidation of operations, and increased management personnel and travel
costs. In addition, 1997 included a one-time favorable legal settlement and
non-recurring favorable adjustments to accruals related to discontinued
operations.
Income from operations was $7.0 million and $6.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and included other operating
income of $2.5 million and $2.0 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The 1998
and 1997 other operating income was primarily from Farberware license revenue
and income related to the 1997 sale of Farberware inventory including the
collection in 1998 of previously reserved accounts receivable.
Interest expense was $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 compared to $10.2 million for the same period of 1997. This change results
primarily from the interest expense related to debt incurred in connection with
the Merger.
16
The benefit from income taxes was $2.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to an income tax provision of $1.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. The tax provision for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 did not reflect the benefit of carry-forward losses.
Realization of the income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 is dependent upon generating sufficient future taxable income due to
carry-back limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Although
realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that
the income tax benefit will be realized through future taxable earnings.
Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was $9.0 million or $2.38 diluted per share, on adjusted
weighted average shares of 3,784,018, compared to net loss applicable to common
stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 of $4.1 million or
$0.71 diluted per share, on adjusted weighted average shares of 5,692,709.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 was $46.5 million. The major uses of cash were for interest expense as a
result of debt incurred in connection with the Merger, and the normal seasonal
increase in accounts receivable and inventories.
The Company's working capital requirements are seasonal and tend to be
highest in the period from September through December due to the Christmas
selling season. Accounts receivable tend to decline during the first and second
quarters as receivables generated during the third and fourth quarters are
collected and remain lower until the next peak season beginning in September.
Capital expenditures were approximately $10.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and the Company expects to expend approximately $3.4
million during the remainder of 1998. These expenditures relate to completing
construction of the warehouse and distribution facility in Mira Loma, CA,
computer equipment and systems, and machinery, equipment and tools and dies for
the Company's manufacturing facilities.
The Company's Revolving Credit Facility as amended on July 31, 1997, December
31, 1997 and March 30, 1998 provides for $130.0 million of borrowings including
a $30.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of
credit. Borrowings made under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a
rate equal to, at the Company's option, the Eurodollar Rate plus 225 basis
points or the Prime Rate plus 50 basis points. The Revolving Credit Facility
expires on April 16, 2002. Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit
Facility, the Company was required during February and March of 1998 to maintain
excess availability of at least $30.0 million, and is required to maintain
excess availability of at least $45.0 million during February and March of
subsequent years. The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Facility
are secured by inventory and accounts receivable of the Company and its domestic
subsidiaries and by a pledge of 100% of the domestic subsidiaries' and at least
65% of the foreign subsidiaries' outstanding capital stock. The Revolving Credit
Facility contains customary covenants for the Company and the subsidiary
borrowers, including but not limited to funded debt to earnings before income
taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain adjustments ("EBITDA") as defined
in the Revolving Credit Facility, fixed charge ratios, capital expenditure
covenants, and minimum consolidated net worth on or after December 31, 1997 of
at least $1.00 (not in thousands). The Company is in compliance with the
covenants, as amended, as of September 30, 1998 and for the quarter then ended.
Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of outstanding letters of
credit, was $22.0 million at September 30, 1998.
One of the Company's Puerto Rican subsidiaries has a $1.0 million facility
(the "Facility"), expiring on May 30, 1999. The Facility bears interest at a
rate equal to, at the Company's option, the Eurodollar Rate plus 175 basis
points or the bank's Prime Rate less 25 basis points. Availability under the
Facility was $0.3 million at September 30, 1998.
See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
17
The Notes due April 15, 2007, issued in connection with the Merger, require
interest payments to be made semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. The Notes
are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of
payment with all current and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company,
including borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. However, all
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority
lien on the accounts receivable and inventory of the Company and its domestic
subsidiaries. Consequently, the obligations of the Company under the Notes are
effectively subordinated to its obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility
to the extent of such assets. The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at
the Company's option, after April 15, 2002.
In connection with the Merger, the Company amended its Employment Agreement
with Leonard Florence. The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of
April 16, 1997 (i) provided for a change in his term of full-time employment
from a rolling five-year term to a fixed five-year term (ii) provided for a
minimum base compensation of $1.15 million per annum, (iii) established $1.15
million as the minimum amount upon which his retirement benefit (and survivors
benefit of his surviving spouse) will be computed and (iv) created contractual
rights with respect to certain perquisites that were accorded to him informally
under his prior arrangement with the Company. On July 29, 1998, the Company
entered into Amendment No. 1 to Mr. Florence's Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement which provides, among other things, for the modification of the
computation and timing of payments in respect of the retirement benefit. The
terms of the Amendment provide for the acceleration of payments (the first of
which was made upon execution of the Amendment) related to the retirement
benefit provided that such payments are allowed under the terms of the Company's
credit agreements, as amended. The amended terms did not have a material impact
on the condensed financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
The Company's ability to pay dividends is restricted by the terms of the
Revolving Credit Facility and the Note Indenture.
The liquidation preference of the Company's Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Stock is $1,000 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Holders of the
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock are entitled, subject to the rights of
creditors, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the
Company, to an amount in cash equal to $1,000 for each share outstanding plus
all accrued and unpaid dividends. The rights of holders of the Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock upon liquidation of the Company rank prior to those
of the holders of Syratech Common Stock.
Dividends on shares of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock are cumulative
from the date of issue and are payable when and as may be declared from time to
time by the Board of Directors of the Company. Such dividends accrue on a daily
basis (whether or not declared) from the original date of issue at an annual
rate per share equal to 12% of the original purchase price per share, with such
amount to be compounded annually on each December 31 so that if the dividend is
not paid for any year the unpaid amount will be added to the original purchase
price of the Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the purpose of
calculating succeeding years' dividends.
The Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time at the
option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $1,000 per share plus all
accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, at the date of redemption. Subject to
the Company's existing debt agreements, the Company must redeem all outstanding
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock in the event of a public offering of
equity, a change of control or certain sales of assets.
The Company's level of indebtedness will have several important effects on
its future operations, including (i) a substantial portion of the Company's cash
flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of interest on its
indebtedness and will not be available for other purposes, (ii) covenants
contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Note
will require the Company to meet certain financial tests, and other restrictions
may limit its ability to borrow funds or to dispose of assets and may affect the
Company's flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in its business
including possible
18
acquisition activities, and (iii) the Company's ability to obtain additional
financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions,
general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired.
The Company believes that funds generated from operations and borrowings
available under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance the
Company's working capital requirements, provide for all known obligations of the
Company (including the obligations of the Company under the $165.0 million Notes
issued in connection with the Merger and under its operating leases) and fund
planned capital expenditures through December 31, 1998.
Year 2000 Conversion
The Company has substantially completed its assessment of Year 2000
compliance and determined the critical systems it will be required to evaluate,
modify and test. The Company has already modified certain key systems to comply
with Year 2000 requirements and is in the process of modifying and testing the
critical systems that are not Year 2000 compliant. The process is targeted to be
largely completed by December 31, 1998. Testing and certification of these
systems are targeted for completion by mid-1999. The Company currently believes
it will be able to modify, replace, or mitigate its affected systems in time to
avoid any material detrimental impact on its operations. If the Company
determines that it may be unable to remediate and properly test affected systems
on a timely basis, the Company intends to develop appropriate contingency plans
for any critical systems at the time such determination is made. While the
Company is not presently aware of any significant exposure that its systems will
not be properly remediated on a timely basis, there can be no assurances that
all Year 2000 remediation processes will be completed and properly tested before
the Year 2000, or that contingency plans will sufficiently mitigate the risk of
a Year 2000 readiness problem.
The Company has initiated communications with its significant suppliers,
customers, and critical business partners to determine the extent to which the
Company may be vulnerable in the event that those parties fail to properly
remediate their own Year 2000 issues. The Company has taken steps to monitor the
progress made by those parties, and intends to test critical system interfaces,
as the Year 2000 approaches. The Company will develop appropriate contingency
plans in the event that a significant exposure is identified relative to the
dependencies on third-party systems. While the Company is not presently aware of
any such significant exposure, there can be no guarantee that the systems of
third-parties on which the Company relies will be converted in a timely manner,
or that a failure to properly convert by another company would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company. Potential sources of risk include (a)
the inability of principal suppliers to be Year 2000 ready, which could result
in delays in product deliveries from such suppliers, and (b) disruption of the
distribution channel, including ports, transportation vendors, and the Company's
own distribution centers as a result of a general failure of systems and
necessary infrastructure such as electricity supply. The Company believes that
its actions with suppliers will minimize these risks. An interruption of the
Company's ability to conduct its business due to a Year 2000 readiness problem
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company currently believes that the expenditures necessary to be Year
2000 compliant will not be material to its financial condition or results of
operations in any given year. The costs of compliance and estimated completion
dates for the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including
the continued availability of certain resources, third-party modification plans
and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will
be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not
limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, and the
ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, replace embedded
computer chips in affected systems or equipment; and the actions of governmental
agencies or other third parties with respect to Year 2000 problems.
Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). The Company will be required
to adopt the provisions of this statement in its annual financial statements for
fiscal 1998. SFAS 131 establishes new standards for reporting information about
operating segments. The Company believes the segment information required to be
disclosed under SFAS 131 will be more comprehensive than previously provided,
including expanded disclosure of statement of operations and balance sheet items
for each reportable operating segment. The Company has not yet completed its
analysis of the operating segments on which it will report.
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 ("SFAS 132"), "Employers' Disclosures
About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" SFAS 132 standardizes the
disclosure requirement for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the
extent practicable. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those
plans. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of this statement in
its annual financial statements for fiscal 1998. The adoption of these
provisions will not have a material impact upon the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
