         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 2002

1.       Financial Statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein have been prepared by Holding, without audit, and include all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at March 31, 2002, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and
March 31, 2001 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although Holding believes that the disclosures in such financial
statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the
accompanying unaudited condensed, consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Holding's 2001 audited financial statements and the
notes thereto included in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of
operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be achieved for a full year.

         Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         Effective January 1, 2001, Holding adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," ("SFAS 133") as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. SFAS No.
133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments. The statement requires that every derivative instrument be recorded
in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value,
and that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The adoption of this
new standard did not have a material impact on Holding's financial statements.

         In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
business combinations and supersedes Accounting Principals Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations," and FASB Statement No. 38, "Accounting for
Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." All business
combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be accounted for using one
method, the purchase method. Any acquisitions made by Holding after June 2001
will be recorded in accordance with SFAS 141.

         Also in June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142
addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other
intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." This
pronouncement addresses, among other things, how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the
financial statements. Goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be assessed
at least annually for impairment using a fair value methodology. Holding stopped
amortizing goodwill, effective January 1, 2002, and as a result an equivalent
charge for goodwill amortization will not be made in 2002. Holding is still in
the process of completing its transitional impairment test plan, which is
expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2002. Pro forma net
loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001, excluding amortization of $3.2
million for that period would have been $11,462, compared to $14,698 as
reported. The slight change in goodwill for the three months ended March 31,
2002 stems from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

         Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It requires entities to record
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period
in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity
capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. Over time, the liability is acreted to its present value each period, and
the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful live of the related asset.
Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for
its recorded amount or incurs gain or loss upon

                                       5

settlement. SFAS 143 is effective January 1, 2003. Holding does not expect the
adoption of SFAS 143 to have a material impact on Holding's consolidated
financial statements.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This
statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations
- Reporting the Effects of a Disposal of a Segment of a Business and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion).
SFAS No. 144 was effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not
have a material impact on Holding's consolidated financial statements.

     Holding and the Company operate in two segments: North American operations
(guarantor) and international operations (non-guarantor).

4.   Subsequent Events. As of March 31, 2002, the Company was not in compliance
with certain financial and reporting covenants under agreements governing its
Credit Facility, Bank Notes Payable and Subordinated Notes. On March 31, 2002,
the Company did not make a scheduled amortization payment on the Term Loan
Facility to its senior lenders as required under the Credit Facility and as a
result, was prevented from making a scheduled interest payment due its
Subordinated Note holders on April 15, 2002. Because the Company made the
interest payment due under the Senior Subordinated Notes within the 30-day grace
period, no event of default occurred by reason thereof. The Company is currently
in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

     As of March 31, 2002, the Company's wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary, Hudson
RCI AB, was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the Hudson RCI
AB bank facility. The Company and Hudson RCI AB are currently in discussions
with the lender and expect to receive a waiver curing all defaults. Due to the
uncertainty of receiving this waiver from the lenders, the Company has
classified the entire Hudson RCI AB bank facility as a current liability on the
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Credit Facility and Senior
Subordinated notes are not cross-defaulted to the Hudson RCI AB bank facility.

     On May 14, 2002, the Company reached an agreement with its senior lenders
to amend the Credit Facility to bring the Company into compliance with all terms
and provisions of this agreement. As part of this amendment, the Company issued
$20 million in new senior term notes with warrants to the Holding's majority
stockholder, $12.0 million of which was exchanged for bank term loans previously
acquired. These notes bear interest at 12% annually with interest and principal
due upon maturity on December 31, 2004. Proceeds from the senior notes were used
to pay interest due under the Subordinated Notes, fund expenses associated with
the amendment and provide funds for ongoing working capital purposes. Under the
terms of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the lenders and the Company
agreed to (i) waive all existing events of default; (ii) extend the final
maturity of the Credit Facility to June 30, 2004; (iii) amend existing
amortization to $3.8 million in 2002, $9.3 million in 2003 and $37.0 million in
2004; and (iv) amend future financial covenants. The warrants are exercisable at
the request of the holder for 20 million shares of common stock at

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 2002

1.       Financial Statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and include
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at March 31, 2002, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31,2002 and
March 31, 2001 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in such
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, the accompanying unaudited condensed, consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 audited
financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Form 10-K filed with
the SEC. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31,
2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for a full
year.

         Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. SFAS No. 133, as
amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments. The statement requires that every derivative instrument be recorded
in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value,
and that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The adoption of this
new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

         In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business
Combinations," and FASB Statement No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition
Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." All business combinations in the scope
of this Statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method.
Any acquisitions made by the Company after June 2001 will be recorded in
accordance with SFAS 141.

         Also in June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142
addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other
intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." This
pronouncement addresses, among other things, how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the
financial statements. Goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be assessed
at least annually for impairment using a fair value methodology. The Company
stopped amortizing goodwill, effective January 1, 2002, and as a result an
equivalent charge for goodwill amortization will not be made in 2002. The
Company is still in the process of completing its transitional impairment test,
which is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2002. Pro
forma net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001, excluding amortization
of goodwill would have been $10,135 compared to $12,135. The slight change in
goodwill for the three months ended march 31,2002 stems from changes in foreign
currency exchange rates.

         Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It requires entities to record
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period
in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity
capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. Over time, the liability is

                                       16

acreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is
depreciated over the useful live of the related asset. Upon settlement of the
liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or
incurs gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS 143 is effective January 1, 2003. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 143 to have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements.

         In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This
statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations
- Reporting the Effects of a Disposal of a Segment of a Business and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion).
SFAS No. 144 was effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

         The Company operates in two segments: North American operations
(guarantor) and international operations (non-guarantor).

4.       Subsequent Events. As of March 31, 2002, the Company was not in
compliance with certain financial and reporting covenants under agreements
governing its Credit Facility, Bank Notes Payable and Subordinated Notes. On
March 31, 2002, the Company did not make a scheduled amortization payment on the
Term Loan Facility to its senior lenders as required under the Credit Facility
and as a result, was prevented from making a scheduled interest payment due its
Subordinated Note holders on April 15, 2002. Because the Company made the
interest payment due under the Senior Subordinated Notes within the 30-day grace
period, no event of default occurred by reason thereof. The Company is currently
in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

         As of March 31, 2002, the Company's wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary,
Hudson RCI AB, was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the
Hudson RCI AB bank facility. The Company and Hudson RCI AB are currently in
discussions with the lender and expect to receive a waiver curing all defaults
(see the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this Item). Due to the
uncertainty of receiving this waiver from the lenders, the Company has
classified the entire Hudson RCI AB bank facility as a current liability on the
consolidated balance sheet. The Credit Facility and Senior Subordinated notes
are not cross-defaulted to the Hudson RCI AB bank facility.

     On May 14, 2002, the Company reached an agreement with its senior lenders
to amend the Credit Facility to bring the Company into compliance with all terms
and provisions of this agreement. As part of this amendment, the Company issued
$20 million in new senior term notes with warrants to the Holding's majority
stockholder, $12.0 million of which was exchanged for bank term loans previously
acquired. These notes bear interest at 12% annually with interest and principal
due upon maturity on December 31, 2004. Proceeds from the senior notes were used
to pay interest due under the Subordinated Notes, fund expenses associated with
the amendment and provide funds for ongoing working capital purposes. Under the
terms of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the lenders and the Company
agreed to (i) waive all existing events of default; (ii) extend the final
maturity of the Credit Facility to June 30, 2004; (iii) amend existing
amortization to $3.8 million in 2002, $9.3 million in 2003 and $37.0 million in
2004; and (iv) amend future financial covenants. The warrants are exercisable at
the demand of the holder for 20 million shares at $1.00 per share until May 15,
2009. The Company will account for the warrants in accordance with

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Because River Holding Corp. ("Holding") is a holding company with no
operations other than those of Hudson Respiratory Care, Inc. (the "Company" or
"Hudson RCI"), the following discussion throughout this section relates
primarily to the Company. The following discussion of Holding and the Company's
consolidated historical results of operations and financial condition should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Holding and
the Company and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

     Holding's acquisition of a majority of the Company's stock was accounted
for as a purchase. As a result of Holding's acquisition of the Company, Holding
recorded property, plant and equipment at fair value. Additional expenses
relating to amortization of goodwill $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2001
was recorded and additional depreciation related to the allocation of purchase
price at fair value to depreciable assets of $0.6 million in the first quarter
of 2002 and 2001 was also recorded. As of March 31, 2002, the remaining value of
the step-up in basis to fair value was approximately $6.8 million.

     Goodwill, resulting from the acquisition of the Company, was recorded on
the books of Holding and not pushed down to the Company. As result, an
additional $128.4 million of goodwill was recorded at Holding. As a result of
significant losses, both Holding and the Company recorded a goodwill impairment
of $161.6 million and $33.1 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of
2001.

     Holding and the Company also recorded deferred tax assets stemming from
Holding's purchase of the Company. Holding and the Company recorded an $11.2
million and $68.9 million valuation allowance against these assets in the fourth
quarter of 2001, respectively.

     There are no other material differences between Holding consolidated and
the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains certain "forward-looking statements" as defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
relating to future events and financial performance are forward-looking
statements involving risks and uncertainties that are detailed from time to time
in Holding's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

General

     The Company's results of operations may fluctuate significantly from
quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including, among others,
the buying patterns of the Company's distributors, group purchasing
organizations ("GPOs") and other purchasers of the Company's products, forecasts
regarding the severity of the annual cold and flu season, announcements of new
product introductions by the Company or its competitors, changes in the
Company's pricing of its products and the prices offered by the Company's
competitors, rate of overhead absorption due to variability in production levels
and variability in the number of shipping days in a given quarter.

Recent Developments

     As of March 31, 2002, the Company was not in compliance with certain
financial and reporting covenants under agreements governing its Credit
Facility, Bank Notes Payable and Subordinated Notes. On March 31, 2002, the
Company did not make a scheduled amortization payment of the Term Loan Facility
to its senior lenders as required under the Credit Facility. As a result, in
early April 2002, the lenders under the Credit Facility blocked the Company from
making either the April 15, 2002 interest payment required under the Senior
Subordinated Notes or the April 15, 2002 dividend payment required under the
11-1/2% Senior Exchangeable PIK Preferred Stock due 2010. Because the Company
made the interest payment due under the Senior Subordinated Notes within the
30-day grace period, no event of default occurred by reason thereof. The Company
is currently in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Senior
Subordinated Notes.

     As of March 31, 2002, the Company's wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary, Hudson
RCI AB, was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the Hudson RCI
AB bank facility. The Company and Hudson RCI AB are currently in discussions
with the lender and expect to receive a waiver curing all defaults (see the
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this Item). Due to the uncertainty
of receiving this waiver from the lenders, the Company has classified the entire
Hudson RCI AB bank facility as a current liability on the consolidated balance
sheet. The Credit Facility and Senior Subordinated notes are not cross-defaulted
to the Hudson RCI AB bank facility.

     On May 14, 2002, the Company reached an agreement with its senior lenders
to amend and restate the Credit Facility to bring the Company into compliance
with all terms and provisions of this agreement. As part of this amendment, the
Company issued $20 million in new senior term notes with warrants to the
Holding's majority stockholder, $12.0 million of which was exchanged for bank
term loans previously acquired. These notes bear interest at 12% annually with
interest and principal due upon maturity on December 31, 2004. Proceeds from the
senior notes were used to pay interest due under the Subordinated Notes, fund
expenses associated with the amendment and provide funds for ongoing working
capital purposes. Under the terms of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the
lenders and the Company agreed to (i) waive all existing events of default; (ii)
extend the final maturity of the Credit Facility to June 30, 2004; (iii) amend
existing amortization to $3.8 million in 2002, $9.3 million in 2003 and $37.0
million in 2004; and (iv) amend future financial covenants to include only a
limitation on capital expenditures and a minimum EBITDA test. As a result of the
amendment, the Company is currently in compliance with the terms and provisions
of the Credit Facility. As of June 28, 2002 there is approximately $3.5 million
of availability on the revolving loan facility under the Credit facility.

     During 2001, the Company made the decision to close the Argyle, New York
facility and move its operations to a new facility located in Tecate, Mexico,
beginning in 2002. It is anticipated that this move will cost approximately $4.6
million, of which $0.9 million relating to severance costs were recorded in
2001.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001

     Net sales, reported net of accrued rebates, were $43.0 million in the first
quarter of 2002 as compared to $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2001,
representing an increase of $5.2 million or 13.7%. Domestic hospital sales
increased by $2.5 million or 11.3% due to increased demand at the hospital
level, primarily the result of an extremely weak influenza season in 2001.
Alternate site sales increased by $0.4 million or 6.5%, reflecting continued
market growth. International sales increased by $1.9 million or 22.3%, primarily
driven by continued growth in Europe (up $1.1 million over the first quarter of
2001) and the Pacific Rim (up $1.2 million over the first quarter of 2001). OEM
sales increased by $0.4 million due to changes in purchasing patterns from some
of its OEM customers.

     The Company's gross profit for the first quarter of 2002 was $18.1 million,
an increase of $8.3 million or 84.8% from the first quarter of 2001. As a
percentage of sales, the gross profit was 42.0% and 25.8% for the first quarter
of 2002 and 2001, respectively. This increase was primarily due to (i) 2001
sales of inventory recorded at a higher net realizable value rather than
manufacturing costs as a result of the SHERIDAN(R) acquisition, (ii) increased
shipping costs in 2001 as a result of shipping difficulties caused by problems
associated with the new management information system, and (iii) underabsorption
in 2001 of manufacturing overhead as a result of an aggressive plan to reduce
inventories by slowing production and an unfavorable mix variance caused by
higher sales of products at lower gross margins.

                                       25

<PAGE>

     Selling expenses were $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2002,
relatively unchanged from the first quarter of 2001. As a percentage of net
sales, selling expenses were 11.7% in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to
12.7% in the first quarter of 2001.

     Distribution expenses were $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2002, a
decrease of $0.5 million or 16.7% from the first quarter of 2001. This decline
is primarily the result of specific programs implemented by management designed
to improve the efficiency of its distribution facilities, including closure of
the Company's Atlanta distribution center in August 2001. As a percentage of
sales, distribution expenses decreased to 5.4% in the first quarter of 2002 as
compared to 7.3% in the first quarter of 2001.

     General and administrative expenses were $4.5 million in the first quarter
of 2002, a decrease of $0.4 million or 7.8% from the first quarter of 2001. This
decrease was primarily the result of decreased staffing levels. As a percentage
of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 10.5% in the first
quarter of 2002 as compared to 13.0% in the first quarter of 2001.

     Research and development expenses were $0.6 million for the first quarter
of 2002, relatively unchanged from the expense of $0.5 million incurred in the
first quarter 2001.

     Amortization of goodwill was $0.0 million in the first quarter for 2002, as
compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2001. This is the result of the
adoption of SFAS 142, under which the Company ceased amortizing goodwill
effective January 1, 2002.

     Interest expense was $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2002, as
compared to $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2001. The decrease was due to
lower interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations,
borrowings under its working capital bank facility and historically, investments
from shareholders. Cash provided by (used in) operations totaled $2.6 million
and $(2.8) million in the first quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
increase in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the first quarter of 2001
is primarily attributable to increased operating income and an increase in
accrued liabilities partially offset by a decrease in payables and an increases
in accounts receivable. The Company had operating working capital deficit of
$(0.3) million and $(0.2) million as of the end of the first quarter of 2002 and
2001, respectively. Inventories were $23.7 million and $25.2 million as of the
end of the first quarter of 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. In order
to meet the needs of its customers, the Company must maintain inventories
sufficient to permit same-day or next-day filling of most orders. Such
inventories are higher than those that would be required for delayed filling of
orders, thus adversely impacting liquidity. Over time, the Company expects its
level of inventories to increase, as the Company's sales in the international
sales increase. Accounts receivable, net of allowances, were $21.4 million and
$19.3 million at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company
typically offers 30-day credit terms to its U.S. hospital distributors.
Alternate site and international customers typically receive 60 to 90 day terms
and, as a result, as the Company's alternate site and international sales have
increased, the amount and aging of its accounts receivable have increased. The
Company anticipates that the amount and aging of its accounts receivable will
continue to increase as the alternate site and international markets become a
larger percentage of the Company's overall sales.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2002, net cash used investing
activities was $1.9 million, reflecting primarily purchases of manufacturing
equipment and new heater placements. During the three months ended March 31,
2001, net cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million, primarily
reflecting purchases of manufacturing equipment. The Company currently estimates
that capital expenditures will be approximately $8.0 million in each of 2002 and
2003, consisting primarily of additional and replacement manufacturing equipment
and new heater placements.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001, net cash
(used in) provided by financing was $(1.5) million and $6.2 million,
respectively, reflecting repayment of the Company's borrowings in the first
quarter of 2002 and borrowings made through Hudson RCI AB, the Company's Swedish
subsidiary in the first quarter of 2001.

                                       26

     As of March 31, 2002, The Company had outstanding $225.0 million of
indebtedness, consisting of $115.0 million of Subordinated Notes, borrowings of
$76.5 million under the Company's Credit Facility, $17.2 million in notes
payable to affiliates and $16.3 million in outstanding borrowings under the bank
facility of Hudson RCI AB.

     The Credit Facility currently consists of a $40.0 million Term Loan
Facility and a $55.0 million Revolving Loan Facility of which up to $40.0
million (all of which has been borrowed and is outstanding) may be used for
permitted acquisitions ("Acquisition Facility") and up to $15 million (the
"Working Capital Portion") may be used for general corporate purposes (other
than acquisitions). The Revolving Loan Facility has a letter of credit sub-limit
of $7.5 million. The Term Loan Facility and Acquisition Facility, amended as
discussed below, matures on June 30, 2004 and requires quarterly principal
installments totaling $3.8 million in 2002, $9.3 million in 2003 and $37.0
million in 2004. The Revolving Loan Facility matures on June 30, 2004.

     Total borrowings as of March 31, 2002 was $54.5 million under the Revolving
Loan Facility and $22.0 million under the Term Loan Facility.

     The interest rate under the Credit Facility is based, at the option of the
Company, upon either a Eurodollar rate or a base rate (as defined), plus a
margin during the period and for the type of loan as follows:

                                                            Margin

     For periods after June 2002, the margins set forth above are subject to
pricing reductions depending on the Company's then existing leverage ratio.

     Borrowings under the Credit Facility are required to be prepaid, subject to
certain exceptions, with (i) 75% (or 50% for years when the Company's ratio of
Debt to EBITDA (as defined) is less than 5:1) of Excess Cash Flow (as defined),
(ii) 50% of the net cash proceeds of an equity issuance by River Holding Corp.,
the Company's parent ("Holding") or the Company in connection with an initial
public offering or 100% of the net cash proceeds of an equity issuance by
Holding. Holding or the Company other than in connection with an initial public
offering (subject in each case to certain exceptions), (iii) 100% of the net
cash proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any properties or assets of
Holding and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), (iv) 100% of the
net proceeds of certain issuances of debt obligations of the Company and its
subsidiaries and (v) 100% of the net proceeds from insurance recoveries and
condemnations. The Revolving Loan Facility must be repaid upon payment in full
of the Term Loan Facility.

     The Credit Facility is guaranteed by Holding and certain of the Company's
subsidiaries. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien in
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and the guarantors
now owned or acquired later, including a pledge of all of the capital stock of
the Company owned by Holding and all of the shares held by the Company of its
existing and future subsidiaries, including its Mexican subsidiaries; provided,
that (except for the Mexican subsidiaries) such pledge is limited to 65% of the
shares of any foreign subsidiary to the extent a pledge of a greater percentage
would result in adverse tax consequences to the Company.

     The Credit Facility contains covenants restricting the ability of Holding,
the Company and the Company's subsidiaries to, among others, (i) incur
additional debt, (ii) declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock,
(iii)

                                       27

prepay, redeem or purchase debt, (iv) incur liens, (v) make loans and
investments, (vi) make capital expenditures, (vii) engage in mergers,
acquisitions and asset sales, and (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates.
Hudson RCI is also required to comply with financial covenants with respect to
(a) limits on annual aggregate capital expenditures (as defined) and (b), a
minimum EBITDA test.

     The Subordinated Notes bear interest at the rate of 9-1/8%, payable
semiannually on each April 15 and October 15, and will require no principal
repayments until maturity. The Subordinated Notes are general unsecured
obligations of the Company. The Subordinated Notes contain covenants that place
limitations on, among other things, (i) the ability of the Company, any
subsidiary guarantors and other restricted subsidiaries to incur additional
debt, (ii) the making of certain restricted payments including investments,
(iii) the creation of certain liens, (iv) the issuance and sale of capital stock
of restricted subsidiaries, (v) asset sales, (vi) payment restrictions affecting
restricted subsidiaries, (vii) transactions with affiliates and (viii) the
ability of the Company and any subsidiary guarantor to incur layered debt, (ix)
the ability of Holding to engage in any business or activity other than those
relating to ownership of capital stock of the Company and (x) certain mergers,
consolidations and transfers of assets by or involving the Company. The Company
was prevented from making the April 15, 2002 interest payment to holders of the
Senior Subordinated Notes pending the completion of the amendment to the Credit
facility on May 14, 2002. Because the Company made the interest payment due
under the Senior Subordinated Notes within the 30-day grace period, no event of
default occurred by reason thereof. The Company is currently in compliance with
the terms and provisions of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

     As of March 31, 2002, the Company had $13.2 million outstanding pursuant to
unsecured promissory notes payable to affiliates of Freeman Spogli, the
Holding's majority stockholder. The notes bear interest at 10.0% per annum and
mature in March 2005. Interest may be paid or deferred to the due date at the
option of the Company and the notes are convertible to the Company's common
stock at the demand of the holder. The notes are subordinated to borrowings
under the Credit facility and rank pari-passu with the Senior Subordinated
Notes.

     The Company, through Hudson RCI AB, has incurred bank debt in Sweden (the
"HRCI AB Facility") that totaled $16.3 million as of March 31, 2001. The HRCI AB
Facility, which is denominated in Swedish krona, bears interest at three-month
STIBOR plus 1.25% to 1.85% (5.14% to 5.74% at March 31, 2002), matures in
December 2003, and is guaranteed by Steamer Holding AB, Hudson RCI AB's parent,
and is secured by the common stock of Hudson RCI AB. As of March 31, 2002,
Hudson RCI AB was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under the
Hudson RCI AB facility. The Company and Hudson RCI AB are currently in
negotiations with the lender concerning an amendment curing these defaults and
expects to receive from the lender a waiver curing all past covenant violations,
but no assurance can be given that such an agreement will be reached.
Accordingly, the entire outstanding balance of the Hudson RCI AB Facility is
classified as current on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's Credit
Facility and the Senior Subordinated Notes are not cross-defaulted to the Hudson
RCI AB facility. If a waiver of such default is not obtained, the lender may
pursue its remedies under the facility, including, among other things, immediate
acceleration of all borrowings of the facility. In addition, the default
entitles the lender to take control of all the common stock of Hudson RCI AB and
its European parent companies.

     Holding issued 300,000 shares of its 11-1/2% Senior Exchangeable PIK
Preferred Stock due 2010 with an aggregate liquidation preference of $30.0
million. At the election of Holding, dividends may be paid in kind until April
15, 2003 and thereafter must be paid in cash.

     In August 2001, Holding issued 3,000 shares of 12% Junior Convertible
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock, for total cash
consideration to Holding of $3.0 million. Each share of the Junior Preferred
Stock may be redeemed, from time to time, in whole or in part, at the option of
Holding at a redemption price of 100% of the Liquidation Preference of the
Junior Preferred Stock or $1,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends
that would be payable on such shares of Junior Preferred Stock.

     The Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the
Credit Facility as of December 31, 2001 and did not make the scheduled March 31,
2002 amortization payment of the Term Loan Facility on its due date. As a
result, in early April, 2002, the lenders under the Credit Facility blocked the
Company from making either the April 15, 2002 interest payment required under
the Senior Subordinated Notes or the April 15, 2002 dividend payment required
under the 11-1/2% Senior Exchangeable PIK Preferred Stock due 2010. On May 14,
2002, the Company and banks amended and restated the Credit Facility to (i)
waive all existing events of default; (ii) extend the final maturity of the term
and revolving facilities under the Credit Facility to June 30, 2004; (iii) amend
existing Term Loan and Acquisition

                                       28

Facility amortization to $3.8 million in 2002, $9.3 million in 2003 and $37.0
million in 2004, and (iv) amend the financial covenants to include only a
limitation on capital expenditures and a minimum EBITDA test. As a result of the
amendment, the Company is currently in compliance with the terms and provisions
of the Credit Facility. As of May 31, 2002, there was approximately $3.5 million
of availability on the revolving Loan Facility under the Credit Facility.

     As part of the May 2002 amendment and restatement of the Credit
Facility discussed above, the Company issued $12.0 million of the senior
unsecured notes in exchange for $12.0 million of bank term loans purchased by
affiliates of Holding's majority stockholder. Additionally, HRC Holding issued
$8.0 million of unsecured senior notes to affiliates of Holding's majority
stockholder. HRC Holding used the proceeds of the notes issued by it to acquire
certain intercompany receivables from the Company. These notes bear interest at
12% annually with interest and principal due upon maturity on December 31, 2004.
Proceeds from these transactions were used to pay the April 2002 interest due
under the Subordinated Notes, fund expenses associated with the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility and provide funds for ongoing general corporate
purposes

     Also in May 2002, the Company issued warrants to purchase 20.0 million
shares of the Company's common stock.

     As Holding is a Holding company, its primary source of liquidity is
dividends or other distributions from Hudson RCI. Holding's only asset is its
investment in Hudson RCI. The ability of Hudson RCI to pay cash dividends or
make distributions to Holding when required is restricted by law and restricted
or prohibited under the terms of Hudson RCI's debt instruments, including the
Credit Facility. In addition, Holding is prohibited from paying cash dividends
under the Credit Facility until April 2003, at which time it must pay cash
dividends to the holders of Holding Preferred Stock. Since Hudson RCI is
prohibited from paying cash dividends to Holding, Holding may not be able to pay
cash dividends to the Holders of Holding Preferred Stock when required by the
terms of the Holding Preferred Stock. In the event that Holding is unable to pay
cash dividends to the holders of Holding Preferred Stock for two consecutive
periods, the sole remedy of the holders is the ability to elect two members to
Holding's Board of Directors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Effective January 1, 2001, Holding adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," ("SFAS 133") as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. SFAS No.
133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments. The statement requires that every derivative instrument be recorded
in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value,
and that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The adoption of this
new standard did not have a material impact on Holding's financial statements.

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
business combinations and supersedes Accounting Principals Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations," and FASB Statement No. 38, "Accounting for
Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." All business
combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be accounted for using one
method, the purchase method. Any acquisitions made by Holding after June 2001
will be recorded in accordance with SFAS 141.

     Also in June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142
addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other
intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." This
pronouncement addresses, among other things, how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the
financial statements. Goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be assessed
at least annually for impairment using a fair value methodology. Holding stopped
amortizing goodwill, effective January 1, 2002, and as a result an equivalent
charge for goodwill amortization will not be made in 2002. Holding is still in
the process of completing its transitional impairment test plan, which is
expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2002. Pro forma net
loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001, excluding amortization of $3.2
million for that period would have been $11,462 compared to $14,698 as reported.
The slight change in goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2002 stems
from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

     Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It requires entities to record
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period
in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity
capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. Over time, the liability is acreted to its present value each period, and
the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful live of the related asset.
Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for
its recorded amount or incurs gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS 143 is
effective January 1, 2003. Holding does not expect the adoption of SFAS 143 to
have a material impact on Holding's consolidated financial statements.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This
statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations
- Reporting the Effects of a Disposal of a Segment of a Business and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion).
SFAS No. 144 was effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not
have a material impact on Holding's consolidated financial statements.
