4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND OTHER ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

     In February 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its
furniture business (by a sale of assets) to a subsidiary of U.S. Industries,
Inc. which sale was completed on March 17, 1997. The Company initially recorded
a provision for estimated losses to be incurred on the sale of the furniture
business of $32.4 million, net of applicable income tax benefits, for the
fiscal year ended December 29, 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, upon the
completion of the sale, the Company provided for additional losses on disposal
of the furniture business in the amount of $13.7 million, net of applicable
income tax benefits as a result of lower than anticipated sales proceeds.

     In May 1997, the Company completed the sale of its Biddeford, Maine textile
facility to an employee led investment group for $10.5 million.

5. CREDIT FACILITIES AND LONG-TERM DEBT


     In July 1997, the Company reduced the amount of available borrowings under
its September 1996 unsecured five year revolving credit facility from $500
million to $250 million as a result of improved cash flow and lower future
anticipated borrowing needs. At June 29, 1997, the Company had $90 million of
borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. During the first
half of 1997, the Company also repaid $11.8 million of other long-term
borrowings related to the divested furniture operations and other assets sold.


6. EARNINGS PER SHARE


     During the first quarter of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings
Per Share, which supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15,
EARNINGS PER SHARE. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements for both
interim and annual periods after December 15, 1997. Early application is
prohibited; although, footnote disclosure of proforma earnings per share
("EPS") amounts computed under SFAS No. 128 is permitted, as follows:

     Net sales from continuing operations for the three and six months ended
June 29, 1997, were $287.6 million and $541.1 million, respectively, an
increase of $33.7 million (13.3%) and an increase of $57.5 million (11.9%) over
the comparable periods in the prior year. Net sales on a normalized basis,
after excluding divested product lines which are not classified as discontinued
operations (time and temperature products, decorative bedding and
Counselor/registered trademark/ & Borg/registered trademark/ branded scales),
increased 16.6% and 14.7% for the three and six months ended June 29, 1997,
respectively.


     Global sales, on a normalized basis, increased during the first half of
1997 in all five of the Company's global product categories - Appliances,
Health Care, Personal Care and Comfort, Outdoor Cooking and Away from Home.
Global sales growth exceeded 20% during the second quarter of 1997 in the
Appliances, Personal Care and Comfort, and Away from Home product categories
and sales grew over 11% in the Outdoor Cooking category. Also contributing to
the Company's sales growth in 1997 were its new retail outlet stores, of which
ten were open in the first half of the year. International sales grew over 25%
during the second quarter and almost 20% for the six months ended June 29,
1997, driven primarily by 42 new 220 volt product introductions and the
execution of 20 new international distribution and license agreements during
the past nine months. Domestic sales increased almost 11% during the second
quarter and 10% for the six months, primarily from improved distribution, new
product introductions and the first growth in the Outdoor Cooking category in
three years.


     The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 1997 increased 7.3
percentage points, to 25.9%, while the gross margin percentage for the first
half of 1997 increased 6.6 percentage points to 26.3%. These increases reflect
the results of many cost savings and margin enhancement initiatives undertaken
as part of the Company's restructuring plan announced in November 1996 coupled
with the incremental margin attributable to higher revenues associated with the
Company's growth plan. The Company's cost reduction initiatives included
reducing the number of manufacturing facilities from 26 to 9 currently (with
one additional manufacturing facility scheduled to be closed later in 1997) and
warehouses from 61 to 18. In addition, the Company has taken other actions to
enhance margins, including the elimination of low margin and/or unprofitable
products/stock keeping units (SKU'S) and the consolidation of the Company's
purchasing activities and re-negotiation of supply contracts resulting in
procurement savings for raw materials.


     The Company has essentially completed its restructuring plan and has
recently initiated a refinement program targeted at aggressively improving
factory productivity at all of its remaining


                                       9

operations, and in particular at the Neosho, Missouri Outdoor Cooking Products
facility which suffered from poor productivity and operating inefficiencies
during the 1997 grill season. The refinement of the Neosho facility, which will
be completed prior to the initiation of production for the 1998 grill season in
the third quarter of 1997, includes a re-layout to improve material flow,
increased usage of common parts in the manufacturing process and modifications
to the paint system to increase capacity and throughput. These initiatives
coupled with the re-negotiation of customer contracts for the 1998 season are
expected to further improve Outdoor Cooking gross margins in 1998.


     Operating earnings for the quarter ended June 29, 1997 increased $33.8
million over the prior year to $43.0 million, or 369%. For the first half of
1997, operating earnings were $77.7 million, an increase of $53.0 million over
the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of sales, operating margin of
14.9% increased 11.3 percentage points above last year's second quarter. For
the first six months of 1997, the operating margin was 14.4%, an increase of
9.3 percentage points over the comparable prior year period. The operating
margin improvements for 1997 were the result of the improved gross margin
discussed above and lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs in
1997 associated with the consolidation of six divisional and regional
headquarters into one, reduced staffing levels, the outsourcing of certain
back-office functions and the reduction in the number of warehouses. These cost
reduction initiatives coupled with increased sales resulted in SG&A decreasing
as a percentage of sales from 15.0% and 14.6% for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 to 11.0% and 11.9% for the comparable periods of
1997, respectively.


     Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 29, 1997
decreased $.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as a result of lower
borrowings levels in 1997. Other (income) expense changed from expense of
$.9 million and $2.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively, to income of $.5 million and $.4 million in the comparable 1997
periods. This change is primarily attributable to higher foreign exchange
losses in 1996 associated with the April 1996 Venezuelan currency devaluation.


     The overall effective income tax rate for earnings from continuing and
discontinued operations for the six months ended June 29, 1997 was 36.0%, a 1.0
percentage point decrease from the overall prior year effective tax rate. This
decrease reflects lower foreign taxes from the utilization of foreign tax
credits and loss carryforwards and lower state income taxes.


     For the three months ended June 29, 1997, the Company's earnings from
continuing operations were $26.2 million, an increase of $23.4 million over
earnings from continuing operations of $2.8 million in 1996. For the first half
of 1997 earnings from continuing operations increased $37.4 million to $46.8
million. Earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter
of 1997 of $.30 per share was 900% better than the $.03 per share reported
during the second quarter of 1996. On a year to date basis, earnings per share
from continuing operations of $.54 per share increased nearly five times
greater than the $.11 per share reported in the first half of 1996. The
Company's share base utilized in the earnings per share calculation increased
approximately 6% for both the three and six month periods ended June 29, 1997
as a result of an increase in the number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding due to the exercise of stock options and a higher
market value of the Company's common stock in 1997.


     The Company's discontinued furniture operations, which were sold in March
1997, broke-even in 1997 on revenues of $51.6 million. In 1996, net earnings of
the discontinued furniture operations were $4.4 million for the second quarter
and $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, on revenues of $92.0
million and $202.2 million for the three and six months periods, respectively.
During the first quarter of 1997, upon completion of the sale of the furniture
business, the Company provided for additional losses on the disposal in the
amount of $13.7 million, net of applicable tax benefits, as a result of lower
than anticipated sales proceeds. As a result of the sale of the furniture
business and the additional loss provision recorded in the first quarter of
1997, the Company's net earnings for the six months ended June 29, 1997 were
$33.1 million, an increase of $8.5 million from the net earnings of $24.6
million in the first half of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


     At June 29, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $58.0
million and total debt of $175.6 million. Cash used in operating activities for
the six months ended June 29, 1997 was $4.2 million compared to $7.2 million
for the comparable period of 1996. This decrease is primarily attributable to
the increases in earnings before non-cash charges in 1997, offset by higher
accounts receivable due to increased sales in 1997 and cash expenditures in
1997 under the Company's restructuring plan.


     Capital spending totaled $26.7 million for the first half of 1997 and was
primarily made for new products, cost reduction and capacity expansion
initiatives. Cash provided by investing activities also reflects $84.7 million
in proceeds from sales of businesses, assets and product categories determined
to be non-core to the Company's ongoing operations in conjunction with the 1996
restructuring plan. Cash used in financing activities totaled $7.4 million in
1997 and reflects the repayment of $15.0 million in borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facility and $11.8 million of debt related to the
divested furniture operations and other assets sold offset by $20.3 million in
cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the first half of 1997,
substantially all by former employees of the Company. In 1996, cash provided by
financing activities of $49.6 million was primarily from increased borrowings
to support working capital and capital spending requirements. In July 1997, the
Company reduced the amount of available borrowings under its September 1996
unsecured five year revolving credit facility from $500 million to $250 million
as a result of improved cash flow and lower future anticipated borrowing needs.
 


     The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, existing cash and
cash equivalent balances as well as its revolving credit facility will be
sufficient to finance its requirements to support working capital needs,
capital expenditures, restructuring expenditures and debt service in the
foreseeable future.
