NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 1, 2005

(unaudited)



|1. | Description of the Company
|-- | --------------------------



JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. (Holdings or the Company) directly owns all of the shares of JohnsonDiversey, Inc.
(JDI), except for one share which is owned by S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (SCJ). The Company is a holding company and its sole business interest is the ownership and control of JDI and its subsidiaries. JDI is comprised of a
Professional Business and a Polymer Business. The Professional Business is a global manufacturer of commercial, industrial and institutional building maintenance and sanitation products. The Polymer Business is a global manufacturer of polymer
intermediates marketed to the printing and packaging, coatings, adhesives and related industries.



|2. | Basis of Presentation
|-- | ---------------------



The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 1, 2005 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three-month period ended April 1, 2005 have
been included. The results of operations for the three-month period ended April 1, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is suggested that the accompanying consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.



Certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current period presentation.



Unless otherwise indicated, all
monetary amounts, excluding share data, are stated in thousands.



|3. | New Accounting Standards
|-- | ------------------------



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments
(SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No.
95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 132R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123R will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. As
permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. The Company
will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using a modified prospective application. Under the modified prospective application, SFAS No. 123R, which provides certain changes to the method for valuing stock-based compensation, among other changes,
will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the effective date
will be recognized over the remaining service period. The Company is in the process of determining how the new method of valuing stock-based compensation as prescribed in SFAS No. 123R will be applied to valuing stock-based awards granted after the
effective date and the impact the recognition of compensation expense related to such awards will have on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs  an amendment of ARB
No. 43 (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 requires idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) costs to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production
overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal 2006. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on its
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.



|4. | Lease Accounting Adjustment
|-- | ---------------------------



In the first quarter of 2005, the Company identified inconsistencies in its accounting treatment for equipment leased to a European-based customer.
Further analysis concluded that such leases should primarily be accounted for as sales-type capital leases rather than as operating leases. The cumulative impact of the correction was recorded by the Company in the three months ended April 1, 2005.
The Company concluded that the impact of the accounting error was not significant to its current year, prior year and prior quarter consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and, as such, does not require restatement of
prior year amounts. Below is a summary of the adjustment and its impact on key measures in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 1, 2005.



|                  |  |             |         |   |            |   |       
|----------------- |  | ----------- | ------- | - | ---------- | - | ------
|                  |  | As Reported |         |   | Adjustment
|Net sales         |  | $           | 804,360 |   |            | $ | 15,333
|Gross profit      |  |             | 328,203 |   |            |   | 5,764 
|Operating profit  |  |             | 21,389  |   |            |   | 5,764 
|Net income (loss) |  |             | (13,877 | ) |            |   | 3,770 



|5. | Divestiture of the Whitmire Micro-Gen Business
|-- | ----------------------------------------------



In June 2004, the Company completed the sale of Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, Inc. (Whitmire) to Sorex Holdings, Ltd.
(Sorex), a European pest-control manufacturer headquartered in the United Kingdom, for $46,000 cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The purchase price was subject to a working capital adjustment, which was agreed and settled
in September 2004, resulting in Sorex paying $751 to the Company. As of the divestiture date, Whitmire net assets were approximately $45,000.



Effective with the second quarter of 2004, Whitmire, which was included in the Companys professional segment, has been classified as a discontinued
operation in the consolidated statement of income with the prior periods restated. No adjustments or restatements for discontinued operations have been made to the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows due to the
immaterial impact of the divestiture for the periods presented.



The purchase agreement also provided for additional earnout provisions based on future Whitmire net sales, for which the Company recorded $4,000 during the three month period ended April 1, 2005. The income is included as a component of
income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income.



Income, net of tax, and net sales from discontinued operations were $419 and $9,393, respectively, for the three month period ended April 2, 2004.



|6. | Accounts Receivable Securitization
|-- | ----------------------------------



JDI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the Receivables Facility) in March 2001 whereby they sell, on a continuous
basis, certain trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (JWPRC), a wholly owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of JDI. JWPRC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by JDI
and certain of its subsidiaries party to the Receivables

Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to a nonconsolidated financial institution (the Conduit) for an
amount equal to the value of all eligible receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduit) less the applicable reserve. As of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, JDIs total potential for
securitization of trade receivables was $150,000.



As of April
1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Conduit held $107,600 and $130,300, respectively, of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in the Companys consolidated balance sheets.



As of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, JDI had a retained interest of $137,444 and
$135,404, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value.



|7. | Income Taxes
|-- | ------------



During the three months ended April 1, 2005, the Company incurred income tax expense on loss before taxes and discontinued operations. The income tax
expense resulted from the fact that certain tax reporting entities with low income tax benefit reported losses during the first quarter of 2005 while other profitable tax reporting entities reported income tax expense generally at or near their
statutory tax rate.



|8. | Inventories
|-- | -----------



The components of inventories are summarized as follows:



|                             |  |               |         |                   |   |        
|---------------------------- |  | ------------- | ------- | ----------------- | - | -------
|                             |  | April 1, 2005 |         | December 31, 2004
|Raw materials and containers |  | $             | 75,505  |                   | $ | 71,835 
|Finished goods               |  |               | 221,623 |                   |   | 209,917
|                             |  |               |         |                   |   |        
|Total inventories            |  | $             | 297,128 |                   | $ | 281,752
|                             |  |               |         |                   |   |        



Inventories are stated
in the consolidated balance sheets net of allowance for excess and obsolete inventory of $26,685 and $25,573 on April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.



|9. | Restructuring Liabilities
|-- | -------------------------



During fiscal years 2002 and 2003, in connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company recorded liabilities for the involuntary
termination of former DiverseyLever employees and other exit costs associated with former DiverseyLever facilities (exit plans). During the three months ended April 1, 2005, the Company paid cash of $344 representing contractual
obligations associated with involuntary terminations and lease payments on closed facilities. The restructuring reserve balances associated with the exit plans were $1,146 and $1,490 as of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.



Additionally, the Company developed plans to restructure
certain facilities that it owned prior to the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, primarily for the purpose of eliminating redundancies resulting from the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business. During fiscal years 2002 and 2003, in
connection with these acquisition related restructuring plans, the Company recorded liabilities for the involuntary termination of pre-acquisition employees and other restructuring costs associated with pre-acquisition facilities. The Company
recognized net liabilities of $2,904 and $4,719, for the involuntary termination of 36 and 79 additional pre-acquisition employees and $492 and $333, for additional other restructuring costs during the three months ended April 1, 2005 and April 2,
2004, respectively, which were recorded as restructuring expenses in accordance with SFAS No. 146.

During the three
months ended April 1, 2005 and April 2, 2004, the Company made contributions to its material defined pension benefit plans of $7,081 and $12,422, respectively. During the three months ended April 2, 2004, $6,189 of the contributions relate to the
acquisition of the DiverseyLever.



Certain of the
Companys United Kingdom based employees participate in a pension plan sponsored by SCJ, a related party. In March 2005, the company and SCJ agreed to segregate the assets and liabilities of the plan resulting in the Company recording an
additional minimum pension liability of approximately $4,300. As of April 1, 2005, the projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and market value of assets associated with the plan were $21,492, $19,251 and $14,951, respectively.



|12. | Stock-Based Compensation
|--- | ------------------------



The Company has a long-term incentive plan (the Plan) that provides for the right to purchase stock of Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc.
(Holdco), the parent of the Company, for certain senior management of the Company. Prior to July 1, 2001, the Plan provided for the award of one share of restricted stock and one stock option for every four shares purchased. Shares are
acquired at a formula value, which is an estimation of fair value by the Company based on overall Holdco performance. Most restricted shares vest over a two-to-four year period from the grant date. Stock options have an exercise term of ten years
from the date of grant. Also, employees that remained with the Company for four years after November 1, 2000 were granted debt forgiveness of at least 50% of the purchase price of the stock.



Subsequent to June 29, 2001, the Plan was modified so that all awards granted
under the Plan were stock option grants. Newly issued stock options subsequently vest over four years and have an exercise period of seven years from the date of grant.



The Company recorded compensation expense of $309 and $572 related to restricted stock and debt forgiveness during the three
months ended April 1, 2005 and April 2, 2004, respectively.



The pro forma impact of compensation expense if the Company had used the fair-value method of accounting to measure compensation expense would have increased net loss by approximately $4,197 and $3,107 for the three months ended April 1,
2005 and April 2, 2004, respectively.

|14. | Stockholders Agreement and Class B Common Stock Subject to Put and Call Options
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the
Company entered into a stockholders agreement with its stockholders, Holdco and Marga B.V., a subsidiary of Unilever. Under the stockholders agreement, at any time after May 3, 2007, the Company has the option to purchase, and Unilever
has the right, under certain conditions, to require the Company to purchase the shares of the Company then beneficially owned by Unilever. If, after May 3, 2010, the Company is unable to fulfill its obligations in connection with the put option,
Unilever may require the Company to take certain actions, including selling certain assets of the Company.



Under the stockholders agreement, the Company may be required to make payments to Unilever in each year from 2007 through 2010 so long as Unilever
continues to beneficially own 5% or more of the Companys outstanding shares. The amount of each payment will be equal to 25% of the amount by which the cumulative cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the
period from May 3, 2002 through the end of the fiscal year preceding the payment (not including any cash flow with respect to which Unilever received payment in a prior year), exceeds $727,500 in 2006, $975,000 in 2007, $1,200,000 in 2008 or
$1,425,000 in 2009. The aggregate amount of these payments cannot exceed $100,000. Payment of these amounts, which may be funded with cash flows generated by the Company, is subject to compliance with the agreements relating to the Companys
and JDIs senior indebtedness including, without limitation, the JDI senior secured credit facilities, the JDI senior subordinated notes and the Companys senior discount notes.



|15. | Commitments and Contingencies
|--- | -----------------------------



The Company is subject to various legal actions and proceedings in the normal course of business. Although litigation is subject to many uncertainties and
the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company does not believe the final outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.



The Company has purchase commitments for materials,
supplies, and property, plant and equipment entered into in the ordinary conduct of business. In the aggregate, such commitments are not in excess of current market prices. Additionally, the Company normally commits to some level of marketing
related expenditures that extend beyond the fiscal period. These marketing expenses are necessary in order to maintain a normal course of business and the risk associated with them is limited. It is not expected that these commitments will have a
material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



The Company maintains environmental reserves for remediation; monitoring and related expenses at one of its domestic facilities. While the ultimate
exposure to further remediation expense at this site continues to be evaluated, the Company does not anticipate a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.



In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company
conducted environmental assessments and investigations at DiverseyLever facilities in various countries. These investigations disclosed the likelihood of soil and/or groundwater contamination, or potential environmental regulatory matters. The
Company continues to evaluate the nature and extent of the identified contamination and is preparing plans to address the contamination. An estimate of costs has been made based on the expected extent of contamination and the expected

likelihood of recovery for some of these costs from Unilever under the purchase agreement. To the extent that contamination is determined to be in violation
of local environmental laws, the Company intends to seek recovery under indemnification clauses contained in the purchase agreement.

On April 8, 2005, JDI amended its senior secured credit facilities. This amendment allowed JDI to borrow additional funds under the U.S. dollar portion of
the term loan B and to repay the entire euro portion. In addition, the interest rate applicable to the U.S. dollar-based debt was reduced, thereby reducing the JDIs borrowing cost over the credit facilities remaining term. The amendment
also changed certain financial covenants and administrative requirements to provide the Company with greater operating flexibility. A copy of the amendment was attached as an exhibit to JDIs current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2005.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Executive Overview



We operate our business through Holdings sole subsidiary, JDI, and its subsidiaries. We are a leading global marketer and manufacturer of cleaning,
hygiene and appearance products, equipment and related services for the institutional and industrial cleaning and sanitation market. We are also a leading global supplier of environmentally compliant, water-based acrylic polymer resins for the
industrial printing and packaging, coatings and plastics markets. We sell our products in more than 140 countries through our direct sales force, wholesalers and third-party distributors. Our sales are balanced geographically, with our principal
markets being Europe, North America and Japan. For financial statement reporting purposes, our business is comprised of two operating segments: professional and polymer.



In the three months ended April 1, 2005, net sales increased by $31.2 million, or 4.0%, from the same period in the prior
year. As indicated in the following table, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures, net sales growth in the first quarter of 2005 was flat as compared to the prior year.

We continue to benefit
from increased sales in the Asia Pacific region (+7.0%), primarily due to growth in the developing markets of China and India. In Latin America, sales grew by 9.0%, as a result of growth in distributor markets, our food and beverage business, and in
lodging, as well as by customer wins in Mexico and Brazil. Sales in our polymer segment increased 6.6%, primarily due to price increases introduced in 2004 taking hold. Conversely, we face a challenging competitive and economic landscape in Europe
and North America, where net sales were lower than the prior year by 0.5% and 2.8%, respectively. In our European region, which also includes the Middle East and Africa, net sales have decreased primarily due to softening economies in key countries.
Also, consolidation continues in key market sectors, including distribution, building service contractors, and food and beverage. These factors were partially offset by a correction in accounting treatment for certain equipment leases, which
increased first quarter 2005 net sales by $15.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net sales in our North American operations were impacted by a reduction in inventory levels in the quarter by key distributors as well as
ongoing consolidation in the food and beverage industry.



Consistent with our experience over the past 12 months, our gross margin percentages declined in both business segments as compared to the same period in the prior year; however, the gross margin percentage improved as compared to the
fourth quarter of 2004, as shown in the following table:

The reductions in
gross margin from the three months ended April 2, 2004 were most evident in our polymer segment where raw material costs have continued to escalate, driven by the impact of higher crude oil and natural



11

gas costs on key fuel feedstocks, as well as industry cyclical factors that are causing demand to outstrip supply for certain raw materials. In addition,
increased crude oil and natural gas costs negatively affected our floorcare business where acrylic based polymers are common in product formulations. We have also experienced escalating freight and transportation costs in North America, which is
attributable to the rise in crude oil prices and changes in U.S. transportation legislation that have reduced carrier availability.



As indicated in our report on Form 10-K, we have begun to implement price increases that are intended to recover, to the fullest extent possible, the raw
material cost increases. Once implemented, these price increases will require time to take hold and consequently will lag, to some degree, the impact from rising raw material costs. In the first quarter of 2005, we began to see evidence of these
price increases taking hold and that the price increases were having a positive impact on our gross margins, particularly in our polymer segment where such programs were implemented earlier than those in our professional segment. Raw material costs,
however, have continued to rise and may necessitate additional future selective price increases. In addition to our pricing actions, we are accelerating our global cost reduction initiatives to reduce supply chain and other costs.



On April 8, 2005, JDI amended its senior secured credit facilities. This
amendment allowed JDI to borrow additional funds under the U.S. dollar portion of the term loan B and to repay the entire euro portion. In addition, the interest rate applicable to the U.S. dollar-based debt was reduced; thereby reducing JDIs
borrowing cost over the credit facilities remaining term. The amendment also changed certain financial covenants and administrative requirements to provide us with greater operating flexibility for future growth.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the accounting policies that are
most critical to our financial condition and results of operations and that involve managements judgment and/or evaluation of inherent uncertain factors are as follows:



Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue on product sales when risk of loss and title to the product is transferred
to the customer, substantially all of which occurs at the time shipment is made. We record an estimated reduction to revenue for customer discount programs and incentive offerings, including allowances and other volume-based incentives. If market
conditions were to decline, we may take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in a reduction of gross profit margins in the period during which the incentive is offered.



In arriving at net sales, we estimate the amounts of sales deductions likely
to be earned by customers in conjunction with incentive programs such as volume rebates and other discounts. Such estimates are based on written agreements and historical trends and are reviewed periodically for possible revision based on changes in
facts and circumstances.



Estimating Reserves and
Allowances. We estimate inventory reserves based on periodic reviews of our inventory balances to identify slow-moving or obsolete items. This determination is based on a number of factors, including new product introductions, changes in
customer demand patterns and historic usage trends.



We
estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing accounts receivable balances by age, applying historical trend rates, analyzing market conditions and specifically reserving for identified customer balances, based on known facts, which are
deemed probable as uncollectible. For larger accounts greater than 90 days past due, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on the customers ability and likelihood to pay and based on managements review of the facts and
circumstances. For other customers, we recognize an allowance based on the length of time the receivable is past due based on historical experience.

##### Table of Contents

We accrue for losses associated with litigation and environmental claims based on managements best
estimate of future costs when such losses are probable and reasonably able to be estimated. We record those costs based on what management believes is the most probable amount of the liability within the ranges or, where no amount within the range
is a better estimate of the potential liability, at the minimum amount within the range. The accruals are adjusted as further information becomes available or circumstances change.



Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits. We sponsor pension and post-retirement plans in various countries, including
the United States, which are separately funded. Several statistical and judgmental factors, which attempt to anticipate future events, are used in calculating the expense and liability related to the plans. These factors include assumptions about
the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases and healthcare cost trends, as determined by us and our actuaries. In addition, our actuarial consultants also use subjective factors, such as withdrawal and
mortality rates, to estimate these factors. The actuarial assumptions used by us may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates, longer or shorter life spans of participants
and changes in actual costs of healthcare. Actual results may significantly affect the amount of pension and other post-retirement benefit expenses recorded by us.



Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets. We periodically review long-lived assets, including non-amortizing intangible assets
and goodwill, for impairment and assess whether significant events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds the anticipated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded, if any, is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying
value over its estimated fair value. We also periodically reassess the estimated remaining useful lives of our amortizing intangible assets and our other long-lived assets. Changes to estimated useful lives would impact the amount of depreciation
and amortization expense recorded in our consolidated financial statements. We annually complete a fair value impairment analysis of goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets. Moreover, where indicators of impairment are identified for
long-lived assets, we would prepare a future undiscounted cash flows analysis, determine any impairment impact and record, if necessary, a reduction in the affected asset(s). There were no known impairments or indicators of impairment identified
during the three-month periods ended April 1, 2005 or April 2, 2004 that had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

| |  |  | The strengthening of the euro and certain other foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar contributed $26.8 million ($25.3 million for the professional segment and $1.5 million for
the polymer segment) to the increase in net product and service sales during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period.

| |  |  | Excluding the foreign currency impact, professional segment net sales were flat versus the same period in the prior year. Volume growth in Latin America ($2.1 million), primarily
from growth in distributor markets, our food and beverage business, and in lodging, as well as by customer wins in Mexico and Brazil, and in Asia ($3.0 million), primarily from growth in the rapidly developing markets of India and China, offset
softness in Europe and North America. In our European region, which also includes the Middle East and Africa, Net sales have decreased primarily due to softening economies in key countries. Also, consolidation continues in key market sectors,
including distribution, building service contractors, and food and beverage. These factors were partially offset by a correction in accounting treatment for certain equipment leases, which increased first quarter 2005 net sales by $15.3 million as
compared to the same period in the prior year. Net sales in our North American operations were also impacted by market consolidation and economic softness, which resulted in declining customer inventory levels and adjusted customer buying patterns.
This primarily affected our distribution and consumer brands businesses.

| |  |  | Excluding the foreign currency impact, polymer segment net sales increased by $5.2 million, or 6.6% during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period,
primarily due to price increases in response to the significant rise in raw material costs experienced over the past year. Volumes were slightly lower in the first quarter of 2005 than the same period in the prior year, particularly in Europe.

| |  |  | Excluding a $1.2 million increase from the strengthening of the euro and certain other foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, net sales under our sales agency agreement with
Unilever decreased $2.4 million, or 9.8% during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year, primarily due to certain brand disposals by Unilever in the European and Asia Pacific markets in the prior year.

| |  |  | The strengthening of the euro and certain other foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar increased gross profit by $12.2 million ($11.7 million for the professional segment and
$0.5 million for the polymer segment) for the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The reductions in gross margin continued to be most evident in our polymer segment, where our products are formulated from solvents, acrylates and resins that include propylene,
ethylene and benzene, costs for all of which are partially dependent on the price of crude oil and natural gas. Costs for styrene, a key raw material in our polymer business, are currently at a level more than 50% above their peak in 2003 and are
expected to remain in this cost range into the near future. Another contributor to the rise in raw material costs and the availability of product is a cyclical mismatch in demand and supply for certain key materials in the marketplace. As costs have
increased, the polymer segment has trended toward a change in product mix, with customers substituting lower margin products for specialty polymers.

| |  |  | In our professional segment, the primary driver of the gross margin decline was the affect effect of increased crude oil and natural gas prices on raw material
costs in our floorcare business, where acrylic based polymers are common in product formulations, and increased prices on certain other key raw materials. The segment was also adversely impacted by higher freight and transportation costs, primarily
attributable to the rise in crude oil prices and changes in U.S. transportation legislation that has affected driver hours and carrier availability. To a lesser extent, gross profit has been impacted by a change in product and services mix,
primarily in Japan, reflecting a relative increase in lower margin sales to our food

| | and beverage sector, which is not expected to continue, and a strategic shift towards increased solutions selling, which has a different business model than
most of our business. To a lesser extent, gross margin has also been impacted by a change in product and services mix, primarily in Europe, Japan and Latin America. These negative influences were partially offset by the effect of an correction in
accounting treatment in the first quarter of 2005 related to certain equipment leased to customers in Europe, which increased gross profit by $5.8 million compared to the prior year period.

| |  |  | We have begun to implement price increases that are intended to recover, to the fullest extent possible, the raw material cost increases. Once implemented, these price increases
will require time to take hold and consequently will lag, to some degree, the impact from rising raw material costs. In the first quarter of 2005, we began to see evidence of these price increases taking hold and that the price increases were having
a positive impact on our gross margins, particularly in our polymer segment where such programs were implemented earlier than those in our professional segment. Raw material costs, however, have continued to rise and may necessitate additional
future selective price increases. In addition to our pricing actions, we are accelerating our global cost reduction initiatives to reduce supply chain and other costs.

| |  |  | Excluding the impact of foreign currency, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year
period, primarily due to cost savings resulting from our synergy, integration and cost containment programs, which offset inflationary pressures.

| |  |  | Excluding the impact of foreign currency, restructuring expense decreased $1.9 million during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period, primarily due
to lower severance and exit costs related to the DiverseyLever acquisition and the timing of current year restructuring project costs.

Restructuring and Integration:



A summary of all costs associated with the restructuring and integration program for the three months ended April 1, 2005, the three months ended April 2,
2004 and since the DiverseyLever acquisition, which occurred in May 2002, is outlined below. The reserve balance shown below reflects the aggregate reserves for all restructuring and integration projects.

| |  |  | During fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004, in connection with the May 2002 acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, we recorded liabilities for the involuntary termination of former
DiverseyLever employees and other exit costs associated with former DiverseyLever facilities. We also developed plans to restructure certain facilities that we owned prior to the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, primarily for the purpose
of eliminating redundancies resulting from the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business.

| |  |  | During the three months ended April 1, 2005, we recorded $3.4 million of restructuring costs and $6.8 million of selling, general and administrative expenses related to our
restructuring and integration programs in our consolidated statement of income. These costs consisted primarily of involuntary termination and other costs incurred throughout North America and Europe as we continued to consolidate our operations.

| |  |  | Net interest expense increased during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher average debt balances, partially offset by a
reduction in interest rates resulting from the February 2004 amendment to the JDI senior secured credit facilities and higher interest income from short-term investments.

| |  |  | Other expense, net, decreased, during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower net losses from foreign currency translation and
transactions.

| |  |  | For the three month periods ended April 1, 2005 and April 2, 2004, we realized very low effective tax rates, primarily resulting from tax reporting entities with low income tax
benefit reporting losses while other profitable tax reporting entities reported income tax expense generally at or near their statutory tax rate.

Net Loss:



For the three months ended April 1, 2005, we recorded a net loss of $13.9 million as compared to net loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended April
2, 2004. The increased net loss was primarily due to a reduction in gross profit resulting from raw material price increases in both our professional and polymer segments and the strengthening of the euro and certain other foreign currencies against
the U.S. dollar and its effect on our operating expenses. These factors were partially offset by a $3.8 million increase from the correction in the accounting treatment for equipment leased to certain customers and a $4.0 million gain on
discontinued operations.



EBITDA:



EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, and you should not consider
EBITDA as an alternative to U.S. GAAP financial measures such as (a) operating profit or net profit as a measure of our operating performance or (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance
with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of our ability to meet cash needs.



We believe that, in addition to cash flows from operating activities, EBITDA is a useful financial measurement for assessing liquidity as it provides management, investors, lenders and financial analysts with an additional basis to evaluate
our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, various covenants under our senior secured credit facilities are based on EBITDA, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of those facilities.



In evaluating EBITDA, management considers, among other things, the amount by
which EBITDA exceeds interest costs for the period, how EBITDA compares to principal repayments on outstanding debt for the period and how EBITDA compares to capital expenditures for the period. Management believes many investors, lenders and
financial analysts evaluate EBITDA for similar purposes. To evaluate EBITDA, the components of EBITDA, such as net sales and operating expenses and the variability of such components over time, should also be considered.



Accordingly, we believe that the inclusion of EBITDA in this quarterly report
permits a more comprehensive analysis of our liquidity relative to other companies and our ability to service debt requirements. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA identically, the presentation of EBITDA in this quarterly report may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.



EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for, and should be read together with, net cash flows provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash flows
provided by operating activities, which is the U.S. GAAP measure most comparable to EBITDA, for each of the periods for which EBITDA is presented.

EBITDA decreased by
$13.0 million, or 15.2%, to $72.3 million for the three months ended April 1, 2005, as compared to $85.3 million for the three months ended April 2, 2004, primarily due to a decrease in gross margin percentage resulting from raw material price
increases in both our professional and polymer segments, partially offset by the effect of a correction in accounting treatment in the first quarter of 2005 for equipment leased to certain customers, which increased EBITDA by $5.8 million compared
to the prior year period, each as indicated above.

| |  |  | The decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to changes in
operating assets and liabilities, the gain on disposal of discontinued operations and the change in deferred income taxes.

| |  |  | The decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a $4.2 million reduction in
expenditures for property, plant and equipment and computer software and a $4.3 million increase in proceeds from divestitures and cash proceeds from property disposals completed during the three months ended April 1, 2005. Other than our investment
in dosing and feeder equipment with new and existing customer accounts, the characteristics of our business do not generally require us to make significant ongoing capital expenditures. We may make significant cash expenditures in the next few years
in an effort to further capitalize on anticipated revenue growth and cost savings opportunities.

| |  |  | The increase in net working capital during the three months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the prior year period was due to a $44.7 million decrease in accounts payable, resulting
from an $11.8 million reduction in related party payables and a four day reduction in average days in trade accounts payable, and a $15.4 million increase in inventories resulting from our seasonal build in inventory levels, partially offset by a
$25.2 million reduction in accounts receivable resulting from a five day decrease in days sales outstanding as collection activities improved.

Debt and Contractual Obligations. As a result of the DiverseyLever acquisition, we and JDI have a significant amount of indebtedness. On May 3,
2002, in connection with the acquisition, we issued senior discount notes with a principal amount at maturity of $406 million to Unilever. Under the indenture for the senior discount notes, the principal amount of the senior discount notes accretes
at a rate of 10.67% per annum through May 15, 2007. After May 15, 2007, interest will accrue on the accreted value of the senior discount notes at this rate, but will be payable in cash semiannually in arrears to the extent that JDI can distribute
to Holdings the cash necessary to make the payments in accordance with the restrictions contained in the indentures for the JDI senior subordinated notes and the JDI senior secured credit facilities. The failure by Holdings to make all or any
portion of a semiannual interest payment on the senior discount notes will not constitute an event of default under the indenture for the senior discount notes if that failure results from JDIs inability to distribute the cash necessary to
make that payment in accordance with these restrictions. Instead, interest will continue to accrue on any unpaid interest at a rate of 10.67% per annum, and the unpaid interest will be payable on the next interest payment date on which JDI is able
to distribute to Holdings the cash necessary to make the payment in accordance with the provisions contained in the indentures for the JDI senior subordinated notes and the JDI senior secured credit facilities. Holdings has no income from operations
and no meaningful assets. Holdings receives all of its income from JDI and substantially all of its assets consist of its investment in JDI. The senior discount notes mature on May 15, 2013.



In addition, on May 3, 2002, in connection with the acquisition, JDI issued
its senior subordinated notes and entered into a $1.2 billion senior secured credit facility. JDI used the proceeds of the sale of the JDI senior subordinated notes and initial borrowings under the JDI senior secured credit facilities, together with
other available funds, to finance the cash portion of the purchase price for the DiverseyLever business and the related fees and expenses and to refinance then-existing indebtedness.



The JDI senior secured credit facilities were amended in August 2003, February 2004 and April 2005. The amendments, among
other things, reduced the interest rate payable with respect to specified tranches of debt under the credit facilities, thereby reducing borrowing costs over the remaining life of the credit facilities. In addition, the amendments increased
specified credit limits and changed various financial covenants and administrative requirements to provide us with greater flexibility to operate our business and to complete the integration of the DiverseyLever acquisition.



On February 26, 2004, Holdings successfully completed an offer to exchange
$406 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding 10.67% senior discount notes due 2013, Series A, which were issued to Unilever in connection with the DiverseyLever acquisition in a private placement transaction exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), for 10.67% senior discount notes due 2013, Series B, which were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the
Securities Act.



As of April 1, 2005, excluding indebtedness
held by JDI, Holdings only indebtedness consisted of $282 million in senior discount notes. As of April 1, 2005, Holdings subsidiaries had total indebtedness of about $1.3 billion, consisting of $591million of JDI senior subordinated notes,
$697 million of borrowings under the JDI senior secured credit facilities, $2.0 million of other long-term borrowings and $50.2 million in short-term credit lines. In addition, we had $196 million in operating lease commitments, $3.7 million in
capital lease commitments and $7.3 million committed under letters of credit that expire in 2005 and 2006.

JDI and some of its subsidiaries have the capacity to borrow additional funds under the JDI senior
secured credit facilities, subject to compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the facilities. As of April 1, 2005, JDI had $63.1 million in borrowings under the revolving portion of the JDI senior secured credit facilities and had the
ability to borrow $255 million under those revolving facilities. Of this amount, we believe JDI would have been able to borrow $60.1 million and still be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the JDI senior secured credit
facilities and the indentures for the JDI senior subordinated notes.



We believe that the cash flows from operations, the anticipated further cost savings and operating improvements associated with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business and our restructuring initiatives, together with available cash,
available borrowings under the JDI senior secured credit facilities and the proceeds from JDIs receivables securitization facility will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. There can be no
assurance, however, that we will be able to achieve the anticipated cost savings or that our substantial indebtedness will not adversely affect our financial condition.



On April 8, 2005, JDI amended its senior secured credit facilities. This amendment allowed JDI to borrow additional funds
under the U.S. dollar portion of the term loan B and to repay the entire euro portion. In addition, the interest rate applicable to the U.S. dollar-based debt was reduced, thereby reducing JDIs borrowing cost over the credit facilities
remaining term. The amendment also changed certain financial covenants and administrative requirements to provide us with greater operating flexibility for future growth.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements JDI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the Receivables
Facility) in March 2001 whereby they sell, on a continuous basis, certain trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (JWPRC), JDIs wholly owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. JWPRC was formed for the
sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by JDI and certain of its subsidiaries party to the Receivables Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to a nonconsolidated financial institution (the
Conduit) for an amount equal to the value of all eligible receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduit) less the applicable reserve. The accounts receivable securitization arrangement is
accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of LiabilitiesA replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.As of April 1, 2005 and December 31,
2004, JDIs total potential for securitization of trade receivables was $150,000.



As of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Conduit held $107,600 and $130,300, respectively, of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in our consolidated balance
sheets.



As of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, JDI had a
retained interest of $137,444 and $135,304, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value.



For the three months ended April 1, 2005, JWPRCs cost of borrowing
under the Receivables Facility was at a weighted average rate of 3.72% per annum, which is significantly lower than our incremental borrowing rate.



Under the terms of the JDI senior secured credit facilities, JDI must use any net proceeds from the Receivables Facility first to prepay loans outstanding
under the JDI senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the net amount of trade receivables at any time outstanding under this and any other securitization facility that JDI may enter into may not exceed $200 million in the aggregate.



Financial Covenants under Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities



Under the amended terms of the JDI senior secured credit
facilities, we are subject to certain financial covenants. The most restrictive covenants under the JDI senior secured credit facilities require JDI to meet the following targets and ratios. The following financial covenants have been updated to
reflect the April 8, 2005 amendment to the JDI senior secured credit facilities.

##### Table of Contents

Maximum Leverage Ratio. JDI is required to maintain a leverage ratio for each financial covenant
period of no more than the maximum ratio specified in the senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The maximum leverage ratio is the ratio of (1) JDIs consolidated indebtedness (excluding up to $55 million of
indebtedness incurred under the Receivables Facility and indebtedness relating to specified interest rate hedge agreements) as of the last day of a financial covenant period using a weighted-average exchange rate for the relevant fiscal six-month
period to (2) JDIs consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the JDI senior secured credit facilities, for that same financial covenant period.



The JDI senior secured credit facilities require that JDI maintain a leverage ratio of no more than the ratio set forth below for each of the financial
covenant periods ending nearest the corresponding date set forth below:

Minimum Interest
Coverage Ratio. JDI is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio for each financial covenant period of no less than the minimum ratio specified in the JDI senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The minimum
interest coverage ratio is the ratio of (1) JDIs consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the JDI senior secured credit facilities, for a financial covenant period to (2) JDIs cash interest expense for the same financial covenant period.



The JDI senior secured credit facilities require that JDI
maintain an interest coverage ratio of no less than the ratio set forth below for each of the financial covenant periods ending nearest the corresponding date set forth below:



|                             |  |

|June 30, 2005 and thereafter |  | 3.50 to 1                      



Compliance with
Maximum Leverage Ratio and Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. For JDIs financial covenant period ended on April 1, 2005, JDI was in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants contained in the JDI
senior secured credit facilities.

Capital Expenditures. The JDI senior secured credit facilities prohibit JDI from making capital
expenditures during any calendar year in an amount exceeding $150,000. As of April 1, 2005, JDI was in compliance with the limitation on capital expenditures for fiscal year 2005.



Restructuring Charges. The JDI senior secured credit facilities limit the amount of spending on restructuring and
integration-related activities in 2004 and 2005 to $145 million in the aggregate. As of April 1, 2005, JDI was in compliance with the limitation on spending on restructuring and integration-related activities for fiscal years 2004 and 2005.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ---------------------------------------------------------



Interest Rate Risk



As of April 1, 2005, JDI had $697 million of debt outstanding under the JDI senior secured credit facilities. After giving effect to the interest rate
swap transactions that we have entered into with respect to some of the borrowings under its credit facilities, $231 million of the debt outstanding remained subject to variable rates. In addition, as of April 1, 2005, JDI had $50.2 million of debt
outstanding under foreign lines of credit, all of which were subject to variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are affected by changes in interest rates. At the above level of variable rate borrowings, we do not anticipate a
significant impact on earnings in the event of a reasonable change in interest rates. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management would likely take actions that would mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk; however, due to
the uncertainty of the actions and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no such action. Further, this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of the overall economic activity that could exist in such an
environment.



Foreign Currency Risk



Through JDI and its subsidiaries, we conduct our business in various regions
of the world and export and import products to and from many countries. Our operations may, therefore, be subject to volatility because of currency fluctuations, inflation changes and changes in political and economic conditions in these countries.
Sales and expenses are frequently denominated in local currencies, and results of operations may be affected adversely as currency fluctuations affect product prices and operating costs. We engage in hedging operations, including forward foreign
exchange contracts, to reduce the exposure of our cash flows to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. All hedging instruments are designated and effective as hedges, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other instruments that do not qualify for hedge
accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings. We do not engage in hedging for speculative investment reasons. There can be no assurance that our hedging operations will eliminate or substantially reduce risks
associated with fluctuating currencies.



Based on our overall
foreign exchange exposure, we estimate that a 10% change in the exchange rates would not materially affect our financial position and liquidity. The effect on our results of operations would be substantially offset by the impact of the hedged items.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------



Evaluation of JohnsonDiverseys Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls). The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management,
including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).



CEO & CFO Certifications. Attached as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this quarterly report are certifications of the CEO and the CFO required in
accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This portion of our quarterly report includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and
should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

##### Table of Contents

Disclosure Controls. Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of
ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our
Disclosure Controls include those components of our internal control over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. To the extent that components of our internal control over financial reporting are included in our Disclosure Controls, they are included in the scope of our quarterly evaluation of Disclosure Controls.



Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Our Disclosure Controls
were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control
system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.



Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation of our Disclosure
Controls included a review of the controls objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. In the course of the controls evaluation, we
sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were undertaken. This evaluation is done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management,
including the CEO and the CFO, concerning the effectiveness of the controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K. Many of the components of our Disclosure Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing
basis by our internal audit department and by other personnel in our finance organization, as well as our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their audit and review activities. The overall goals of these various
evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and to make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and
corrections) as conditions warrant.



Among other matters, we
sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel
who have a significant role in our internal control over financial reporting. This information was important both for our controls evaluation and for Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, which requires that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to
our Audit Committee and to our independent registered public accounting firm, and report on that information and related matters in this section of the quarterly report. In the professional accounting literature, significant deficiencies
are referred to as reportable conditions, which are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the consolidated financial statements. A
material weakness is defined in professional accounting literature as a particularly serious reportable condition whereby the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud
may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other control
matters in the controls evaluation, and in each case, if an issue was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accordance with our on-going procedures.



Conclusions. Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that material information
