Notes to Combined Financial Statements

A. Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

On March 12, 2010, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Stanley Works was merged with and into the Black & Decker Corporation (“Black & Decker”), with the result that Black & Decker became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Stanley Works (the “Merger”). The combined company was thereafter renamed Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the “Parent”).

These financial statements combine the legacy Stanley National Hardware (“SNH”) operations with the legacy Black and Decker Hardware and Home Improvement (“HHI”) operations. The combined company, the HHI Group (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”), offers a broad range of door security hardware as well as residential products, including locksets and interior and exterior hardware. The Company’s brand names include Baldwin, Weiser, Kwikset, Stanley National Hardware, Fanal, Geo and Pfister. The Company is operated by a single management team.

Approximately half of the Company’s sales are in the retail channel, including 24% to The Home Depot and 21% to Lowes in 2011, and 22% to The Home Depot and 24% to Lowes in 2010. The remaining sales of the Company are in the non-retail or new construction channels. Further, approximately 87% of the Company’s revenues for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 are generated from the U.S. and Canada, with the remainder spread across Latin America and Asia.

Basis of Presentation

The results of operations and cash flows of HHI have been included in the Company’s combined financial statements from the time of the Merger on March 12, 2010 (see Note F, Merger). The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31. There were 52 weeks in the fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.

A. Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation (continued)

Corporate Allocations

The Combined Balance Sheets include the assets and liabilities attributable to the Company’s operations. The Combined Statements of Operations includes certain allocated corporate expenses of the Parent attributable to the Company. These expenses include costs associated with legal, finance, treasury, accounting, human resources, employee benefits, insurance and stock-based compensation. Corporate costs are allocated on the basis of usage or another reasonable basis when usage is not identifiable. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of expenses are reasonable. Notwithstanding, the expenses allocated to the Company are not necessarily indicative of the actual level of expenses that would have been incurred if the Company had been an independent entity and had otherwise managed these functions. The following table summarizes the allocation of corporate expenses to specific captions within the Combined Statements of Operations.

|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Cost of sales – trade |  | $ | 5.0 |  |  | $ | 4.7 |
Selling, general and administrative |  |  | 24.4 |  |  |  | 21.8 |
Total corporate allocations |  | $ | 29.4 |  |  | $ | 26.5 |

Related Party Transactions

Affiliate Sales and Expenses

Transactions the Company had with affiliated companies owned by the Parent have been included in the Combined Statements of Operations. These sales and related costs may not be indicative of sales pricing or volume in the event the Company is sold. The following table summarizes affiliate sales transactions:

Description |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Affiliate sales |  | $ | 32.1 |  |  | $ | 15.1 |
Affiliate cost of sales |  |  | 30.1 |  |  |  | 13.8 |
Net gross margin on affiliate sales |  |  | 2.0 |  |  |  | 1.3 |
Cost of sales – trade, mark-up on affiliate purchases |  |  | 10.9 |  |  |  | 9.7 |
Net interest expense – affiliate |  |  | 42.7 |  |  |  | 41.9 |
Other affiliate income |  |  | (1.0 | ) |  |  | (1.0 | )
Net affiliate loss before provision for income taxes |  | $ | (50.6 | ) |  | $ | (49.3 | )

The Company purchases certain products it sells from third party vendors through affiliate global purchasing agents of the Parent. The Combined Statements of Operations includes the affiliate mark-up arising from inventory purchase transactions between the Company and affiliates of the Parent. Mark-ups on affiliate purchases of $10.9 million and $9.7 million were included within cost of sales – trade in the Combined Statements of Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively. The mark-up on affiliate purchase transactions is cash settled through the Parent’s centralized cash management program and reduces the net cash provided by operating activities in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

Other affiliate income represents royalty fees the Company charges to an affiliate of the Parent. The other affiliate income is assumed to be cash settled, as described below, and consequently reduces the net cash provided by operating activities in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

A. Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation (continued)

Cash Management and Business Equity

The Parent utilizes a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations in the U.S. As a result of the Company’s participation in the Parent’s central cash management program, all the Company’s U.S. cash receipts are remitted to the Parent and all cash disbursements are funded by the Parent. Other transactions with the Parent and related affiliates include purchases and sales and miscellaneous other administrative expenses incurred by the Parent on behalf of the Company. The net amount of any receivable from or payable to the Parent and other affiliates, with the exception of affiliate debt and notes receivable, are reported as a component of business equity. There are no terms of settlement or interest charges associated with the intercompany account balances. All transactions with the Parent and other related affiliates outside of the Company are considered to be effectively settled for cash in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows at the time the transaction is recorded.

An analysis of the cash transactions solely with the Parent follows:

|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Cash funding from Parent |  | $ | 751.0 |  |  | $ | 755.4 |
Cash remitted to Parent |  |  | (749.7 | ) |  |  | (651.5 | )
Taxes paid by Parent |  |  | 0.8 |  |  |  | 13.9 |

Affiliate Debt

A summary of the Company’s affiliate debt arrangements at December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 and related party interest expense are shown below:

|  | Interest Rate |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Affiliate notes payable due 2013 |  | 0.0% – 7.2% |  | $ | 58.8 |  |  | $ | 77.8 |

Interest expense – affiliate, net |  |  |  | $ | 42.7 |  |  | $ | 41.9 |

Affiliate Notes Receivable

The Company has a variety of notes receivable agreements with affiliates of the Parent. These loans bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 0.9% to 2.5% and have maturity dates ranging from 2013 through 2015. Affiliate notes receivable were $33.5 million and $21.6 million at December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.

B. Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign Currency

For foreign operations with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, asset and liability accounts are translated at current exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. Translation adjustments are reported in a separate component of business equity and exchange gains and losses on transactions are included in earnings.

Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are stated at gross invoice amount less discounts, other allowances and provision for uncollectible accounts.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using two methods. First, a specific reserve is established for individual accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. Second, a reserve is determined for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. Actual write-offs are charged against the allowance when collection efforts have been unsuccessful.

Inventories

Certain U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of Last-In First-Out (“LIFO”) cost or market because the Company believes it results in better matching of costs and revenues. Other inventories are valued at the lower of First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) cost or market primarily because LIFO is not permitted for statutory reporting outside the U.S. See Note D, Inventories, for a quantification of the LIFO impact on inventory valuation.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company generally values property, plant and equipment, including capitalized software, at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs related to maintenance and repairs which do not prolong the assets useful life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

|  | Useful Life (Years)
Land improvements |  | 10 – 20
Buildings |  | 40
Machinery and equipment |  | 3 – 15
Computer software |  | 3 – 5

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease.

8

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company reports depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) based on the nature of the underlying assets. Depreciation and amortization related to the production of inventory and delivery of services are recorded in cost of sales. Depreciation and amortization related to distribution center activities, selling and support functions are reported in SG&A.

The Company assesses its long-lived assets for impairment when indicators that the carrying values may not be recoverable are present. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, the Company groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are generated (“asset group”) and estimates the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to be generated from the use of and eventual disposition of the asset group. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss must be determined and the asset group is written down to fair value. The impairment loss is quantified by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated fair value, which is determined using weighted-average discounted cash flows that consider various possible outcomes for the disposition of the asset group.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets acquired are recorded at estimated fair value. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually during the third quarter, and at any time when events suggest an impairment more likely than not has occurred. To assess goodwill for impairment, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units, which are primarily determined using management’s assumptions about future cash flows based on long-range strategic plans. This approach incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, discount factors and tax rates. In the event the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill.

Indefinite-lived intangible asset carrying amounts are tested for impairment by comparing to current fair market value, usually determined by the estimated cost to lease the asset from third parties. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives generally using an accelerated method. Under this accelerated method, intangible assets are amortized reflecting the pattern over which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. Definite-lived intangible assets are also evaluated for impairment when impairment indicators are present. If the carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted future cash flows, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset were to exceed the fair value, it would be written down to fair value. No goodwill or other intangible asset impairments were recorded during 2011 or 2010.

Interest Expense

The Combined Statements of Operations included an allocation of $4.5 million of interest expense associated with the Parent Company’s junior subordinated debt issued by The Stanley Works on November 22, 2005. The outstanding junior subordinated debt was paid by the Parent in December 2010. The debt has not been reflected in the Combined Financial Statements as the Company did not assume the debt nor has the Company guaranteed or pledged its assets as collateral for the debt.

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial Instruments

The Company participates in the Parent’s centralized hedging functions which are primarily designed to minimize exposure on foreign currency risk. These hedging instruments are recorded in the financial statements of the Parent and as such, the effects of such hedging instruments are not reflected in the Combined Statements of Operations or Combined Balance Sheets. In 2010, HHI employed derivative financial instruments to manage risks, specifically commodity prices, which were not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes these derivative instruments in the Combined Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized periodically either in earnings or in business equity as a component of other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative financial instrument is undesignated or qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it represents a fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in earnings in the same caption as the changes in the fair value of the hedged items. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income, and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur. In the event it becomes probable the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates will not occur, the derivative would be terminated and the amount in other comprehensive income would generally be recognized in earnings.

Stock Based Compensation

Certain employees of the Company have historically participated in the stock-based compensation plans of the Parent. The plans provide for discretionary grants of stock options, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. All awards granted under the plan consist of the Parent’s common shares. As such, all related equity account balances remained at the Parent, with only the allocated expense for the awards provided to Company employees, as well as an allocation of expenses related to the Parent’s corporate employees who participate in the plan, being recorded in the Combined Financial Statements.

Stock options are granted at the fair market value of the Parent’s stock on the date of grant and have a 10-year term. Compensation cost relating to stock-based compensation grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally four years.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues result from the sale of tangible products, where revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, collectability is reasonably assured, and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment of the finished product, but sometimes is upon delivery to customer facilities.

Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent that there is an identifiable benefit and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as SG&A.

10

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative

Cost of sales includes the cost of products and services provided reflecting costs of manufacturing and preparing the product for sale. These costs include expenses to acquire and manufacture products to the point that they are allocable to be sold to customers. Cost of sales is primarily comprised of inbound freight, direct materials, direct labor as well as overhead which includes indirect labor, facility and equipment costs. Cost of sales also includes quality control, procurement and material receiving costs as well as internal transfer costs. SG&A costs include the cost of selling products as well as administrative function costs. These expenses generally represent the cost of selling and distributing the products once they are available for sale and primarily include salaries and commissions of the Company’s sales force, distribution costs, notably salaries and facility costs, as well as administrative expenses for certain support functions and related overhead.

Advertising Costs

Television advertising is expensed the first time the advertisement airs, whereas other advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are classified in SG&A and amounted to $15.8 million in 2011 and $15.6 million in 2010. Expense pertaining to cooperative advertising with customers reported as a reduction of net sales was $52.0 million in 2011 and $60.0 million in 2010.

Sales Taxes

Sales and value added taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from Net sales reported in the Combined Statements of Operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company generally does not bill customers for freight. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are reported in cost of sales. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight are reported as a reduction of net sales and amounted to $24.6 million and $23.5 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Distribution costs are classified as SG&A and amounted to $35.7 million and $32.4 million in 2011 and 2010.

Postretirement Defined Benefit Plan

For Company-sponsored plans, the Company uses the corridor approach to determine expense recognition for each defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan. The corridor approach defers actuarial gains and losses resulting from variances between actual and expected results (based on economic estimates or actuarial assumptions) and amortizes them over future periods. For pension plans, these unrecognized gains and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. For other postretirement benefits, amortization occurs when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. For ongoing, active plans, the amount in excess of the corridor is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period for active plan participants. For plans with primarily inactive participants, the amount in excess of the corridor is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive plan participants.

Income Taxes

The Company’s operations are included in separate income tax returns filed with the appropriate taxing jurisdictions, except for U.S. federal and certain state and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company’s operations are included in the income tax returns of the Parent or an affiliate.

11

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The provision for income taxes is computed as if the Company filed on a combined stand-alone or separate tax return basis, as applicable. The provision for income taxes does not reflect the Company’s inclusion in the tax returns of the Parent or an affiliate. It also does not reflect certain actual tax efficiencies realized by the Parent in its combined tax returns that include the Company, due to legal structures it employs outside the Company. Certain income taxes of the Company are paid by the Parent or an affiliate on behalf of the Company. The payment of income taxes by the Parent or affiliate on behalf of the Company is recorded within Parent Company’s net investment and accumulated earnings on the Combined Balance Sheets.

Deferred income taxes and related tax expense have been recorded by applying the asset and liability approach to the Company as if it was a separate taxpayer. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the Combined Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax bases of the particular assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates and laws in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset balance will not be realized.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 which requires a two step process, first management determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and second, for those tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold, management recognizes the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related taxing authority. The Company maintains an accounting policy of recording interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax expense in the Combined Statements of Operations.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through May 21, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).” This ASU revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company will adopt the requirements of this ASU.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment (revised standard).” The revised standard is intended to reduce the costs and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. This ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will consider this new guidance as it conducts its annual goodwill impairment testing in 2012.

C. Accounts Receivable

|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Gross accounts receivable |  | $ | 110.2 |  |  | $ | 94.6 |
Allowance for doubtful accounts |  |  | (2.1 | ) |  |  | (1.5 | )
Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 108.1 |  |  | $ | 93.1 |

Trade receivables are dispersed among a large number of retailers, distributors and industrial accounts in many countries. Adequate reserves have been established to cover anticipated credit losses.

The Company was part of the Parent’s accounts receivable sale program in fiscal 2010 and 2011. According to the terms of that program, the Parent is required to sell certain of its trade accounts receivables at fair value to a wholly owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary (“BRS”). The BRS, in turn, must sell such receivables to a third-party financial institution (“Purchaser”) for cash and a deferred purchase price receivable. The Purchaser’s maximum cash investment in the receivables at any time is $100.0 million. The purpose of the program is to provide liquidity to the Parent. These transfers are accounted for as sales under ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”. Receivables are derecognized from the Combined Balance Sheets when the BRS sells those receivables to the Purchaser. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and its right to the deferred purchase price receivable. At December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the Parent, as well as the Company, did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility, based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions and its cost of servicing the receivables sold.

At January 1, 2011, $2.6 million of net receivables were derecognized, with no amounts being derecognized at December 31, 2011, as the Company ended its participation in the program during the year. All cash flows under the program are reported as a component of changes in accounts receivable within operating activities in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows since all the cash from the Purchaser is either received upon the initial sale of the receivable; or from the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables and the underlying receivables are not subject to significant risks, other than credit risk, given their short-term nature.

D. Inventories

|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Finished products |  | $ | 130.2 |  |  | $ | 115.0 |

Raw materials |  |  | 27.5 |  |  |  | 32.5 |
Total |  | $ | 171.2 |  |  | $ | 158.1 |

Net inventories in the amount of $78.0 million at December 31, 2011 and $74.8 million at January 1, 2011 were valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market. If the LIFO method had not been used, inventories would have been $14.6 million higher than reported at December 31, 2011 and $11.9 million higher than reported at January 1, 2011.

Property, plant and equipment, net |  | $ | 110.7 |  |  | $ | 107.3 |

Depreciation and amortization expense associated with property, plant and equipment was $26.2 million and $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.

F. Merger

As more fully described in Note A Basis of Presentation, the Merger occurred on March 12, 2010. The fair value of consideration transferred by the Parent for HHI acquired from Black & Decker was $798.5 million, inclusive of Black & Decker shares outstanding and employee related equity awards. The consideration transferred was treated as a capital contribution to the Company in the Combined Financial Statements and included as part of the net transfers to the Parent in the Statement of Changes in Business Equity. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation for the acquired businesses was completed in 2010.

14

F. Merger (continued)

HHI sells residential and commercial hardware, including door knobs and handles, locksets and faucets. The Merger complemented the Company’s existing hardware product offerings and further diversified the Company’s product lines. The following table summarizes the fair values of major assets acquired and liabilities of HHI assumed as part of the Merger:

|  | (In Millions) |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 9.2 |
Accounts receivable, net |  |  | 73.4 |
Inventories, net |  |  | 142.3 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  |  | 11.0 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 82.2 |
Trade names |  |  | 108.0 |
Customer relationships |  |  | 43.0 |
Patents and technology |  |  | 25.0 |
Other assets |  |  | 0.3 |
Accounts payable |  |  | (33.4 | )
Accrued liabilities |  |  | (38.6 | )
Deferred tax liabilities |  |  | (75.6 | )
Other long term liabilities |  |  | (52.7 | )
Total identifiable net assets |  |  | 294.1 |
Goodwill |  |  | 504.4 |
Total consideration transferred by the Parent and contributed to the Company |  | $ | 798.5 |

As of the merger date, the expected fair value of accounts receivable approximated the historical cost. The gross contractual receivable was $76.3 million, of which $2.9 million was not expected to be collectible. Inventory includes a $31.3 million fair value adjustment, which was expensed through cost of sales during 2010 as the corresponding inventory was sold.

The weighted-average useful lives assigned to the finite-lived intangible assets are trade names – 15 years; customer relationships – 12 years; and patents and technology – 10 years. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected cost synergies of the combined business, assembled workforce, and the going concern nature of HHI. It is estimated that $19.9 million of goodwill, relating to HHI’s pre-merger historical tax basis, will be deductible for tax purposes.

15

F. Merger (continued)

Actual and Pro-Forma Impact of the Merger

The Company’s Combined Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2011 includes $662.8 million in net sales and $10.4 million in net income relating to HHI.

The following table presents supplemental pro-forma information as if the Merger had occurred on January 3, 2010. This pro-forma information includes merger related charges for the period. The pro-forma results are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s combined net earnings would have been had the Company completed the Merger on January 3, 2010. In addition, the pro-forma results do not reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the Merger.

|  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Net sales |  | $ | 1,063.2 |
Net earnings |  |  | 1.4 |

The 2010 pro-forma results were calculated by combining the results of the HHI Group with the HHI business’s stand-alone results from January 3, 2010 through March 12, 2010. The following adjustments were made to account for certain costs which would have been incurred during this pre-Merger period.

| • |  | Elimination of the historical pre-Merger intangible asset amortization expense and the addition of intangible asset amortization expense related to intangibles valued as part of the Merger that would have been incurred from January 3, 2010 to March 12, 2010.

| • |  | Additional depreciation related to property, plant and equipment fair value adjustments that would have been expensed from January 3, 2010 to March 12, 2010.

| • |  | The modifications above were adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

Total |  | $ | 198.1 |  |  | $ | (45.1 | ) |  | $ | 198.6 |  |  | $ | (28.7 | )

Total indefinite-lived trade names are $18.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $18.2 million at January 1, 2011, relating to the National Hardware tradename, with the change in value due to fluctuations in currency rates. Future amortization expense in each of the next five years amounts to $17.7 million for 2012, $17.8 million for 2013, $17.2 million for 2014, $15.9 million for 2015, $14.5 million for 2016 and $69.9 million thereafter.

I. Fair Value Measurements and Commodity Contracts

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines, establishes a consistent framework for measuring, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are derivative financial instruments, which are all considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of debt instruments are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using the Company’s marginal borrowing rates. The fair value of affiliate debt was $445.5 million and $559.1 million at December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy level used in determining the fair value of this asset group (in millions):

|  | Carrying Value January 1, 2011 |  |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Impairment |
Long-lived assets held and used |  | $ | 20.8 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 20.8 |  |  | $ | (0.9 | )

As described in Note N, Restructuring and Asset Impairments, during 2010 the Company recorded a $0.9 million asset impairment relating to certain U.S. manufacturing operations with a net book value of $21.7 million. These fair value measurements were calculated using unobservable inputs, primarily using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, which are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The amount and timing of future cash flows within these analyses was based on our most recent operational budgets, long-range strategic plans and other estimates.

18

I. Fair Value Measurements and Commodity Contracts (continued)

Commodity Contracts

In conjunction with the Merger, commodity contracts to purchase 7.4 million pounds of zinc and copper were assumed. These contracts were used to manage price risks related to material purchases used in the manufacturing process. The objective of the contracts was to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the forecasted purchase of these commodities. During 2010 all assumed commodity contracts either matured or were terminated. No notional amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2011 or January 1, 2011. The income statement impacts related to commodity contracts not designated as hedging instruments were as follows (in millions):

|  | Income Statement Classification |  | 2010 Loss Recorded in Income on Derivative |
Commodity Contracts |  | Other, net |  | $ | 1.3 |

J. Stock Based Compensation

Stock Options: For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were 28,000 options in the common stock of the Parent granted to employees of the Company with 204,074 options outstanding at year end. Stock option expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $0.3 million. Expense was recognized based on the fair value of the option awards granted to participating employees of the Company. For the year ended January 1, 2011, there were 35,250 options granted to employees of the Company, 209,466 options outstanding at year end and stock option expense recognized of $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2011, unrecognized compensation expense amounted to $1.0 million.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) of the Parent enables eligible employees in the United States and Canada to subscribe at any time to purchase shares of common stock on a monthly basis at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date ($53.00 per share for fiscal year 2011 purchases) or 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the last business day of each month. ESPP compensation cost is recognized ratably over the one-year term based on actual employee stock purchases under the plan.

During 2011 and 2010, 12,092 shares and 5,538 shares were issued to employees of the Company at average prices of $50.85 and $37.53 per share, respectively. Total compensation expense recognized by the Company amounted to $0.3 million and $0.1 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Restricted Share Units: Compensation cost for restricted share units (“RSU”) granted to employees of the Company is recognized ratably over the vesting term, which varies but is generally 4 years. RSU grants totaled 9,336 shares and 12,753 shares in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the RSU’s granted in 2011 and 2010 were $61.79 and $59.99, respectively. Total compensation expense recognized for RSU’s amounted to $0.2 million and $0.1 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 unrecognized compensation cost amounted to $1.0 million.

Long-Term Performance Awards: The Parent has granted Long Term Performance Awards (“LTIPs”) under its 1997, 2001 and 2009 Long Term Incentive Plans to senior management employees of the Company for achieving Parent performance measures. Awards are payable in shares of the Parent common stock, which may be restricted if the employee has not achieved certain stock ownership levels, and generally no award is made if the employee terminates employment prior to the payout date.

19

J. Stock Based Compensation (continued)

Working capital incentive plan: In 2010, the Parent initiated a bonus program under its 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan that provides executives the opportunity to receive stock in the event certain working capital turn objectives are achieved by June 2013 and are sustained for a period of at least six months. The ultimate issuances of shares, if any, will be determined based on achievement of objectives during the performance period. A single employee of the Company was issued 2,742 shares under this plan in 2010.

Other Long-Term Performance Awards: A potential maximum of 5,484 LTIP grants were made in 2010 and a potential maximum of 3,851 LTIP grants were made in 2011 to an employee of the Company. Each grant has separate annual performance goals for each year within the respective three year performance period associated with each award. Parent earnings per share and return on capital employed represent 75% of the share payout of each grant, with the remaining 25% a market-based element, measuring the Parent’s common stock return relative to peers over the performance period. The ultimate delivery of shares will occur in 2013 and 2014 for the 2010 and 2011 grants, respectively. Total payouts are based on actual performance in relation to these goals. Total compensation expense recognized for LTIP awards amounted to $0.1 million in both 2011 and 2010.

K. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income at the end of each fiscal year was as follows:

|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Currency translation adjustment |  | $ | 36.3 |  |  | $ | 49.5 |
Pension loss, net of tax |  |  | (12.0 | ) |  |  | (9.9 | )
Accumulated other comprehensive income |  | $ | 24.3 |  |  | $ | 39.6 |

L. Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

Most of the Company’s U.S. employees, including Black & Decker employees beginning on January 1, 2011, are allowed to participate in a tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan administered and sponsored by the Parent. Eligible employees may contribute from 1% to 25% of their eligible compensation to a tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan, subject to restrictions under tax laws. Employees generally direct the investment of their own contributions into various investment funds. In 2011 and 2010, an employer match benefit was provided under the plan equal to one-half of each employee’s tax-deferred contribution up to the first 7% of their compensation. Participants direct the entire employer match benefit such that no participant is required to hold the Parent’s common stock in their 401(k) account. The Company’s employer match benefit totaled $2.1 million and $0.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase is attributable to the HHI integration into the ESOP in 2011.

In addition, approximately 1,500 of the Company’s U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees are eligible to receive a non-contributory benefit under the Core benefit plan. Core benefit allocations range from 2% to 6% of eligible employee compensation based on age. Approximately 1,157 U.S. employees also receive a Core transition benefit, allocations of which range from 1% – 3% of eligible compensation based on age and date of hire. Approximately 207 U.S. employees are eligible to receive an additional average 1.3% contribution actuarially designed to replace previously curtailed pension benefits. The Company’s allocations for benefits earned under the Core plan were $4.5 million in 2011 and $0.8 million in 2010. Assets held in participant Core accounts are invested in target date retirement funds which have an age-based allocation of investments. The increase is attributable to the HHI integration into the Core plan in 2011.

20

L. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

The Parent accounts for the ESOP under ASC 718-40, “Compensation – Stock Compensation – Employee Stock Ownership Plans”. Net ESOP activity recognized is comprised of the cost basis of shares released, the cost of the aforementioned Core and 401(k) match defined contribution benefits, less the fair value of shares released and dividends on unallocated ESOP shares. The Company’s net ESOP activity resulted in expense of $3.7 million and $1.1 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The 401(k) employer match and Core benefit elements of net ESOP expense represent the actual benefits earned by the Company’s participants in each year, while the cost basis of shares released, the fair value of shares released and the dividends on unallocated shares elements are based on the proportion of the Company’s actual earned benefits in relation to the Parent’s ESOP total earned benefits. The increase in net ESOP expense in 2011 is related to the merger of a portion of the U.S. Black & Decker 401(k) defined contribution plan into the ESOP and extending the Core benefit to these employees. ESOP expense is affected by the market value of the Parent’s common stock on the monthly dates when shares are released. The market value of shares released averaged $68.12 per share in 2011 and $58.56 per share in 2010.

Parent Sponsored Pension Plans

The Company participates in certain U.S. and Canadian plans sponsored solely by the Parent. All participants in the plans are employees or former employees of the Parent, either directly or through its subsidiaries. The primary U.S. plan was curtailed in 2010 and the other plans are generally also curtailed with no additional service benefits to be earned by participants. The Company’s expense associated with the parent sponsored plans was $3.2 million and $5.0 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Defined Contribution Plans

In addition to the ESOP, various other defined contribution plans are sponsored worldwide, including a tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all Black & Decker U.S. employees. The expense for such defined contribution plans, aside from the earlier discussed ESOP, was $1.5 million and $2.4 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in other defined contribution plan expense in 2011 relative to 2010 pertains to the merger of the Black & Decker U.S. defined contribution plan into the ESOP.

21

L. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

Defined Benefit Plans

Pension and other benefit plans – The Company sponsors pension plans covering 284 domestic employees and 3,970 foreign employees (primarily in Mexico). Benefits are generally based on salary and years of service, except for U.S. collective bargaining employees whose benefits are based on a stated amount for each year of service.

The components of net periodic pension expense are as follows:

|  | U.S. Plan |  |  | Non-U.S. Plans |
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |

L. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $77.2 million at December 31, 2011 and $71.1 million at January 1, 2011. Information regarding pension plans in which the accumulated benefit obligations exceed plan assets and pension plans in which projected benefit obligations (inclusive of anticipated future compensation increases) exceed plan assets follows:

|  | U.S. Plan |  |  | Non-U.S. Plans |

Fair value of plan assets |  | $ | 55.2 |  |  | $ | 53.3 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |

The major assumptions used in valuing pension and post-retirement plan obligations and net costs were as follows:

|  | Pension Benefits |  |  | Other Benefits |
|  | U.S. Plans |  |  | Non-U.S. Plans |  |  | U.S. Plan |
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |

Expected return on plan assets |  |  | 6.75 | % |  |  | 7.50 | % |  |  | — | % |  |  | — | % |  |  | — | % |  |  | — | %

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined considering the returns projected for the various asset classes and the relative weighting for each asset class considering the target asset allocations. In addition the Company considers historical performance, the recommendations from outside actuaries and other data in developing the return assumption. The Company expects to use a weighted-average rate of return assumption of 6.5% for the U.S. plan, in the determination of fiscal 2012 net periodic benefit expense.

U.S. and foreign equity securities primarily consist of companies with large market capitalizations and to a lesser extent mid and small capitalization securities. Government securities primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities and foreign government securities with de minimus default risk. Corporate fixed income securities include publicly traded U.S. and foreign investment grade and to a small extent high yield securities. Other investments include U.S. mortgage backed securities. The level 2 investments are primarily comprised of institutional mutual funds that are not publicly traded; the investments held in these mutual funds are generally level 1 publicly traded securities.

The Company’s investment strategy for pension plan assets includes diversification to minimize interest and market risks. Plan assets are rebalanced periodically to maintain target asset allocations. Currently, the Company’s target allocations include 50% in equity securities and 50% in fixed income securities. Maturities of investments are not necessarily related to the timing of expected future benefit payments, but adequate liquidity to make immediate and medium term benefit payments is ensured.

Contributions

The Company’s funding policy for its defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts determined annually on an actuarial basis to provide for current and future benefits in accordance with federal law and other regulations. The Company expects to contribute approximately $3.2 million to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans in 2012.

P. Income Taxes (continued)

In general, there were no income taxes paid directly to any taxing authority by the Company for fiscal years 2011 and 2010. Any liability owed by the Company due to taxable income generated is settled through intercompany transfers with the Parent. Had the company paid its own tax liabilities during tax years December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the net payments would have been approximately $20.2 million and $22.1 million, respectively.

Any undistributed foreign earnings of the Company at December 31, 2011, are considered to be invested indefinitely or will be remitted substantially free of additional U.S. tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for taxes that might be payable upon remittance of such earnings, nor is it practicable to determine the amount of such liability.

The gross unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2011 is zero due to the settlement of a U.S. tax audit during fiscal year 2011. The liability for potential penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits was increased $0.1 million for the tax year ended January 1, 2011, with no change during the tax year ended December 31, 2011. The liability for potential penalties and interest totaled $0.5 million January 1, 2011. There were no penalties or interest outstanding at the end of the 2011 tax year. The Company classifies all tax-related interest and penalties in the provision for income taxes.

The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and the impact on income tax expense, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. As of December 31, 2011 the company no longer requires a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities in conjunction with the IRS audit of the Parent. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company is included in the IRS examination of the Parent for tax years 2008 and 2009. The Company also files many state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Tax years 2008 and forward generally remain subject to examination by most state tax authorities. In foreign jurisdictions, tax years 2007 and forward generally remain subject to examination.

Q. Commitments and Guarantees

Commitments

The Company has non-cancelable operating lease agreements, principally related to facilities, vehicles, machinery and equipment. Rental expense for operating leases was $12.8 million in 2011, and $14.2 million in 2010.

The following is a summary of the Company’s future commitments which span more than one future fiscal year:

|  | Total |  |  | 2012 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | Thereafter |
|  | (In Millions) |
Operating lease obligations |  | $ | 46.3 |  |  | $ | 8.8 |  |  | $ | 5.6 |  |  | $ | 5.2 |  |  | $ | 4.6 |  |  | $ | 3.4 |  |  | $ | 18.7 |

Guarantees

The Company issued a standby letter of credit for $0.3 million to guarantee future payments which may be required under an insurance program.

The Company provides product and service warranties. The types of warranties offered generally range from one year to limited lifetime, while certain products carry no warranty. Further, the Company sometimes incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues. Historical warranty and service claim experience forms the basis for warranty obligations recognized. Adjustments are recorded to the warranty liability as new information becomes available.

Following is a summary of the warranty activity for the years ended December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011:

|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 4.3 |  |  | $ | 0.2 |
Warranties issued |  |  | 8.1 |  |  |  | 2.8 |
Liability assumed in the merger |  |  | — |  |  |  | 3.7 |
Warranty payments |  |  | (8.0 | ) |  |  | (2.4 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 4.4 |  |  | $ | 4.3 |

R. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to environmental issues, employment, product liability, workers’ compensation claims and other matters. The Company periodically reviews the status of these proceedings with both inside and outside counsel, as well as an actuary for risk insurance. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on operations or financial condition taken as a whole.

The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

31

R. Contingencies (continued)

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed certain commitments and contingent liabilities. HHI is a party to litigation and administrative proceedings with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment. Some of these assert claims for damages and liability for remedial investigations and clean-up costs with respect to sites that have never been owned or operated by HHI but at which HHI has been identified as a potentially responsible party. Other matters involve current and former manufacturing facilities.

In the event that no amount in the range of probable loss is considered most likely, the minimum loss in the range is accrued. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims. In addition, the Company is a party to a number of proceedings before federal and state regulatory agencies relating to environmental remediation. Also, the Company, along with many other companies, has been named as a PRP in a number of administrative proceedings for the remediation of various waste sites, including 3 active Superfund sites. Current laws potentially impose joint and several liabilities upon each PRP. In assessing its potential liability at these sites, the Company has considered the following: whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of existing agreements, experience at similar sites, and the Company’s volumetric contribution at these sites.

The Company’s policy is to accrue environmental investigatory and remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount of liability recorded is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site and includes such factors as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. The liabilities recorded do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance or third parties. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, the amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. As of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the Company had reserves of $26.7 million and $25.3 million, respectively, for remediation activities associated with Company-owned properties, as well as for Superfund sites, for losses that are probable and estimable. Of the 2011 amount, $1.6 million is classified as current and $25.1 million as long-term which is expected to be paid over the estimated remediation period. The range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $19.0 million to $44.0 million which is subject to change in the near term. The Company may be liable for environmental remediation of sites it no longer owns. Liabilities have been recorded on those sites in accordance with policy.

The environmental liability for certain sites that have cash payments beyond the current year that are fixed or reliably determinable have been discounted using a rate of 2.1% to 3.8%, depending on the expected timing of disbursements. The discounted and undiscounted amount of the liability relative to these sites is $7.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The payments relative to these sites are expected to be $0.8 million in 2012, $0.7 million in 2013, $0.7 million in 2014, $0.8 million in 2015, $0.4 million in 2016 and $12.6 million thereafter.

A. Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

On March 12, 2010, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Stanley Works was merged with and into the Black & Decker Corporation (“Black & Decker”), with the result that Black & Decker became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Stanley Works (the “Merger”). The combined company was thereafter renamed Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the “Parent”).

These unaudited financial statements combine the legacy Stanley National Hardware (“SNH”) operations with the legacy Black and Decker Hardware and Home Improvement (“HHI”) operations. The combined company, the HHI Group (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”), offers a broad range of door security hardware as well as residential products, including locksets and interior and exterior hardware. The Company’s brand names include Baldwin, Weiser, Kwikset, Stanley National Hardware, Fanal, Geo and Pfister. The Company is operated by a single management team.

Approximately half of the Company’s sales are in the retail channel, including 26% to The Home Depot and 20% to Lowes for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and 23% to The Home Depot and 21% to Lowes for the six months ended July 2, 2011. The remaining sales of the Company are in the non-retail or new construction channels. Further, approximately 89% of the Company’s revenues for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 are generated from the U.S. and Canada, with the remainder spread across Latin America and Asia.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited combined financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. There were 26 weeks in both the six month period ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011.

The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.

A. Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation (continued)

Corporate Allocations

The Unaudited Combined Balance Sheets include the assets and liabilities attributable to the Company’s operations. The Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations includes certain allocated corporate expenses of the Parent attributable to the Company. These expenses include costs associated with legal, finance, treasury, accounting, human resources, employee benefits, insurance and stock-based compensation. Corporate costs are allocated on the basis of usage or another reasonable basis when usage is not identifiable. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of expenses are reasonable. Notwithstanding, the expenses allocated to the Company are not necessarily indicative of the actual level of expenses that would have been incurred if the Company had been an independent entity and had otherwise managed these functions. The following table summarizes the allocation of corporate expenses to specific captions within the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations.

A. Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation (continued)

The Company purchases certain products it sells from third party vendors through affiliate global purchasing agents of the Parent. The Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations includes the affiliate mark-up arising from inventory purchase transactions between the Company and affiliates of the Parent. Mark-ups on affiliate purchases of $5.1 million and $5.5 million were included within cost of sales – trade in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively. The mark-up on affiliate purchase transactions is cash settled through the Parent’s centralized cash management program and reduces the net cash provided by operating activities in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

Other affiliate income represents royalty fees the Company charges to an affiliate of the Parent. The other affiliate income is assumed to be cash settled, as described below, and consequently reduces the net cash provided by operating activities in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Management and Business Equity

The Parent utilizes a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations in the U.S. As a result of the Company’s participation in the Parent’s central cash management program, all the Company’s U.S. cash receipts are remitted to the Parent and all cash disbursements are funded by the Parent. Other transactions with the Parent and related affiliates include purchases and sales and miscellaneous other administrative expenses incurred by the Parent on behalf of the Company. The net amount of any receivable from or payable to the Parent and other affiliates, with the exception of affiliate debt and notes receivable, are reported as a component of business equity. There are no terms of settlement or interest charges associated with the intercompany account balances. All transactions with the Parent and other related affiliates outside of the Company are considered to be effectively settled for cash in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Cash Flows at the time the transaction is recorded.

An analysis of the cash transactions solely with the Parent follows:

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, 2012 |  |  | July 2, 2011 |

Cash received from Parent |  | $ | 373.0 |  |  | $ | 513.1 |

Net affiliate interest expense amounted to $17.6 million and $22.6 million for the six months ending June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.

Affiliate Notes Receivable

The Company has a variety of notes receivable agreements with affiliates of the Parent. These loans bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 0.9% to 2.5% and have maturity dates ranging from 2013 through 2015. Affiliate notes receivable were $33.3 million and $33.5 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

For foreign operations with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, asset and liability accounts are translated at current exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. Translation adjustments are reported in a separate component of business equity and exchange gains and losses on transactions are included in earnings.

Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

41

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are stated at gross invoice amount less discounts, other allowances and provision for uncollectible accounts.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using two methods. First, a specific reserve is established for individual accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. Second, a reserve is determined for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. Actual write-offs are charged against the allowance when collection efforts have been unsuccessful.

Inventories

Certain U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of Last-In First-Out (“LIFO”) cost or market because the Company believes it results in better matching of costs and revenues. Other inventories are valued at the lower of First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) cost or market primarily because LIFO is not permitted for statutory reporting outside the U.S. See Note D, Inventories, for a quantification of the LIFO impact on inventory valuation.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company generally values property, plant and equipment, including capitalized software, at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs related to maintenance and repairs which do not prolong the assets useful life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

|  | Useful Life (Years)
Land improvements |  | 10 – 20
Buildings |  | 40
Machinery and equipment |  | 3 – 15
Computer software |  | 3 – 5

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease.

The Company reports depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) based on the nature of the underlying assets. Depreciation and amortization related to the production of inventory and delivery of services are recorded in cost of sales. Depreciation and amortization related to distribution center activities, selling and support functions are reported in SG&A.

42

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company assesses its long-lived assets for impairment when indicators that the carrying values may not be recoverable are present. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, the Company groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are generated (“asset group”) and estimates the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to be generated from the use of and eventual disposition of the asset group. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss must be determined and the asset group is written down to fair value. The impairment loss is quantified by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated fair value, which is determined using weighted-average discounted cash flows that consider various possible outcomes for the disposition of the asset group.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets acquired are recorded at estimated fair value. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually during the third quarter, and at any time when events suggest impairment more likely than not has occurred. To assess goodwill for impairment, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units, which are primarily determined using management’s assumptions about future cash flows based on long-range strategic plans. This approach incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, discount factors and tax rates. In the event the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill.

Indefinite-lived intangible asset carrying amounts are tested for impairment by comparing to current fair market value, usually determined by the estimated cost to lease the asset from third parties. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives generally using an accelerated method. Under this accelerated method, intangible assets are amortized reflecting the pattern over which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. Definite-lived intangible assets are also evaluated for impairment when impairment indicators are present. If the carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted future cash flows, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset were to exceed the fair value, it would be written down to fair value.

As required by the Company’s policy, goodwill and an indefinite lived tradename were tested for impairment in the third quarter of 2011. Based on the testing, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting unit and indefinite lived tradename exceeded their carrying values. The Company will perform its annual impairment testing for the 2012 fiscal year during the third quarter of 2012. No goodwill or other intangible asset impairments were recorded during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 or July 2, 2011.

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial Instruments

The Company participates in the Parent’s centralized hedging functions which are primarily designed to minimize exposure on foreign currency risk. These hedging instruments are recorded in the financial statements of the Parent and as such, the effects of such hedging instruments are not reflected in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations or Unaudited Combined Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized periodically either in earnings or in business equity as a component of other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative financial instrument is undesignated or qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it represents a fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in earnings in the same caption as the changes in the fair value of the hedged items. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income, and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur. In the event it becomes probable the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates will not occur, the derivative would be terminated and the amount in other comprehensive income would generally be recognized in earnings.

Stock Based Compensation

Certain employees of the Company have historically participated in the stock-based compensation plans of the Parent. The plans provide for discretionary grants of stock options, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. All awards granted under the plan consist of the Parent’s common shares. As such, all related equity account balances remained at the Parent, with only the allocated expense for the awards provided to Company employees, as well as an allocation of expenses related to the Parent’s corporate employee’s who participate in the plan, being recorded in the Unaudited Combined Financial Statements.

Stock options are granted at the fair market value of the Parent’s stock on the date of grant and have a 10-year term. Compensation cost relating to stock-based compensation grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally four years.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues result from the sale of tangible products, where revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, collectability is reasonably assured, and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment of the finished product, but sometimes is upon delivery to customer facilities.

Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent that there is an identifiable benefit and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as SG&A.

44

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative

Cost of sales includes the cost of products and services provided reflecting costs of manufacturing and preparing the product for sale. These costs include expenses to acquire and manufacture products to the point that they are allocable to be sold to customers. Cost of sales is primarily comprised of inbound freight, direct materials, direct labor as well as overhead which includes indirect labor, facility and equipment costs. Cost of sales also includes quality control, procurement and material receiving costs as well as internal transfer costs. SG&A costs include the cost of selling products as well as administrative function costs. These expenses generally represent the cost of selling and distributing the products once they are available for sale and primarily include salaries and commissions of the Company’s sales force, distribution costs, notably salaries and facility costs, as well as administrative expenses for certain support functions and related overhead.

Advertising Costs

Television advertising is expensed the first time the advertisement airs, whereas other advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are classified in SG&A and amounted to $8.2 million and $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively. Expense pertaining to cooperative advertising with customers reported as a reduction of net sales was $20.3 million and $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.

Sales Taxes

Sales and value added taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from Net sales reported in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company generally does not bill customers for freight. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are reported in cost of sales. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight are reported as a reduction of net sales and amounted to $14.3 million and $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively. Distribution costs are classified as SG&A and amounted to $16.9 million and $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.

Postretirement Defined Benefit Plan

For Company-sponsored plans, the Company uses the corridor approach to determine expense recognition for each defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan. The corridor approach defers actuarial gains and losses resulting from variances between actual and expected results (based on economic estimates or actuarial assumptions) and amortizes them over future periods. For pension plans, these unrecognized gains and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. For other postretirement benefits, amortization occurs when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. For ongoing, active plans, the amount in excess of the corridor is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period for active plan participants. For plans with primarily inactive participants, the amount in excess of the corridor is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive plan participants.

45

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company’s operations are included in separate income tax returns filed with the appropriate taxing jurisdictions, except for U.S. federal and certain state and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company’s operations are included in the income tax returns of the Parent or an affiliate.

The provision for income taxes is computed as if the Company filed on a combined stand-alone or separate tax return basis, as applicable. The provision for income taxes does not reflect the Company’s inclusion in the tax returns of the Parent or an affiliate. It also does not reflect certain actual tax efficiencies realized by the Parent in its combined tax returns that include the Company, due to legal structures it employs outside the Company. Certain income taxes of the Company are paid by the Parent or an affiliate on behalf of the Company. The payment of income taxes by the Parent or affiliate on behalf of the Company is recorded within Parent company’s net investment and accumulated earnings on the Unaudited Combined Balance Sheet.

Deferred income taxes and related tax expense have been recorded by applying the asset and liability approach to the Company as if it was a separate taxpayer. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the combined financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax bases of the particular assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates and laws in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset balance will not be realized.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 which requires a two step process, first management determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and second, for those tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold, management recognizes the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related taxing authority. The Company maintains an accounting policy of recording interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax expense in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations.

New Accounting Standards

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment (revised standard).” The revised standard is intended to reduce the costs and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. This ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will consider this new guidance as it conducts its annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of 2012.

46

B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In January of 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” which revised the manner in which the Company presents comprehensive income in the financial statements. The new guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU did not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (revised standard).” This revised standard provides entities with the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. An entity can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. Moreover, an entity can bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative impairment test for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period. This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company will consider this new guidance as it conducts its annual impairment testing during the third quarter of 2012.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through August 30, 2012, the date of issuance of these financial statements and footnotes.

C. Accounts Receivable

|  | June 30, 2012 |  |  | December 31, 2011 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Gross accounts receivable |  | $ | 123.5 |  |  | $ | 110.2 |

Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 121.4 |  |  | $ | 108.1 |

Trade receivables are dispersed among a large number of retailers, distributors and industrial accounts in many countries. Adequate reserves have been established to cover anticipated credit losses.

47

C. Accounts Receivable (continued)

The Company was part of the Parent’s accounts receivable sale program in fiscal 2010 and 2011. According to the terms of that program, the Parent is required to sell certain of its trade accounts receivables at fair value to a wholly owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary (“BRS”). The BRS, in turn, must sell such receivables to a third-party financial institution (“Purchaser”) for cash and a deferred purchase price receivable. The Purchaser’s maximum cash investment in the receivables at any time is $100.0 million. The purpose of the program is to provide liquidity to the Parent. These transfers are accounted for as sales under ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”. Receivables are derecognized from the Combined Balance Sheets when the BRS sells those receivables to the Purchaser. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and its right to the deferred purchase price receivable. At December 31, 2011, the Parent, as well as the Company, did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility, based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions and its cost of servicing the receivables sold.

At December 31, 2011, as the Company ended its participation in the program during the year, no amounts were derecognized. All cash flows for the six months ended July 2, 2011 under the program are reported as a component of changes in accounts receivable within operating activities in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Cash Flows since all the cash from the Purchaser is either received upon the initial sale of the receivable or from the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables and the underlying receivables are not subject to significant risks, other than credit risk, given their short-term nature.

D. Inventories

Total |  | $ | 168.8 |  |  | $ | 171.2 |

Net inventories in the amount of $87.8 million at June 30, 2012 and $78.0 million at December 31, 2011 were valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market. If the LIFO method had not been used, inventories would have been $13.2 million higher than reported at June 30, 2012 and $14.6 million higher than reported at December 31, 2011.

Total indefinite-lived trade names are $18.1 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, relating to the National Hardware tradename. Future amortization expense for the six months ending December 29, 2012 amounts to $8.4 million. Future amortization expense in each of the next five fiscal years amounts to $17.8 million for 2013, $17.2 million for 2014, $15.9 million for 2015, $14.5 million for 2016, $13.3 million for 2017 and $56.6 million thereafter.

H. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines, establishes a consistent framework for measuring, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair values of debt instruments are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using the Company’s marginal borrowing rates. The fair value of affiliate debt was $386.0 and $445.5 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

I. Stock Based Compensation

Stock Options: During the six month period ended June 30, 2012 there were 12,500 options in the common stock of the Parent granted to employees of the Company. No options were granted during the six months ended July 2, 2011. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were 181,962 and 204,074 options outstanding, respectively. Stock option expense recognized for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 was $0.2 million. Expense was recognized based on the fair value of the option awards granted to participating employees of the Company. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrecognized compensation expense amounted to $1.0 million.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) of the Parent enables eligible employees in the United States and Canada to subscribe at any time to purchase shares of common stock on a monthly basis at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date ($48.94 per share for fiscal year 2012 purchases) or 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the last business day of each month. ESPP compensation cost is recognized ratably over the one-year term based on actual employee stock purchases under the plan.

During the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, 2,285 shares and 6,046 shares were issued to employees of the Company at average prices of $48.94 and $50.42 per share, respectively. Total compensation expense recognized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

51

I. Stock Based Compensation (continued)

Restricted Share Units: Compensation cost for restricted share units (“RSU”) granted to employees of the Company is recognized ratably over the vesting term, which varies but is generally 4 years. RSU grants totaled 24,715 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2012. There were no RSU grants during the six month period ended July 2, 2011. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the RSU’s granted in 2012 was $74.38. Total compensation expense recognized for RSU’s amounted to $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrecognized compensation cost amounted to $1.0 million.

Long-Term Performance Awards: The Parent has granted Long Term Performance Awards (“LTIPs”) under its 1997, 2001 and 2009 Long Term Incentive Plans to senior management employees of the Company for achieving Parent performance measures. Awards are payable in shares of the Parent common stock, which may be restricted if the employee has not achieved certain stock ownership levels, and generally no award is made if the employee terminates employment prior to the payout date.

Working capital incentive plan: In 2010, the Parent initiated a bonus program under its 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan that provides executives the opportunity to receive stock in the event certain working capital turn objectives are achieved by June 2013 and are sustained for a period of at least six months. The ultimate issuances of shares, if any, will be determined based on achievement of objectives during the performance period.

Other Long-Term Performance Awards: There were no LTIP grants made in the six month period ended June 30, 2012. A potential maximum of 3,851 LTIP grants were made in 2011 to an employee of the Company. Each grant has separate annual performance goals for each year within the respective three year performance period associated with each award. Parent earnings per share and return on capital employed represent 75% of the share payout of each grant, with the remaining 25% a market-based element, measuring the Parent’s common stock return relative to peers over the performance period. The ultimate delivery of shares will occur in 2014 for the 2011 grant. Total payouts are based on actual performance in relation to these goals. Total compensation expense recognized for LTIP awards for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 was $0.1 million.

J. Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are allowed to participate in a tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan administered and sponsored by the Parent. Eligible employees may contribute from 1% to 25% of their eligible compensation to a tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan, subject to restrictions under tax laws. Employees generally direct the investment of their own contributions into various investment funds. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, an employer match benefit was provided under the plan equal to one-half of each employee’s tax-deferred contribution up to the first 7% of their compensation. Participants direct the entire employer match benefit such that no participant is required to hold the Parent’s common stock in their 401(k) account. The Company’s employer match benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 totaled $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

52

J. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

In addition, approximately 1,500 of the Company’s U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees are eligible to receive a non-contributory benefit under the Core benefit plan. Core benefit allocations range from 2% to 6% of eligible employee compensation based on age. Approximately 1,200 U.S. employees also receive a Core transition benefit, allocations of which range from 1% – 3% of eligible compensation based on age and date of hire. Approximately 200 U.S. employees are eligible to receive an additional average 1.2% contribution actuarially designed to replace previously curtailed pension benefits. The Company’s allocations for benefits earned under the Core plan for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 were $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Assets held in participant Core accounts are invested in target date retirement funds which have an age-based allocation of investments.

The Parent accounts for the ESOP under ASC 718-40, “Compensation – Stock Compensation – Employee Stock Ownership Plans”. Net ESOP activity recognized is comprised of the cost basis of shares released, the cost of the aforementioned Core and 401(k) match defined contribution benefits, less the fair value of shares released and dividends on unallocated ESOP shares. The Company’s net ESOP activity during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 resulted in expense of $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The 401(k) employer match and Core benefit elements of net ESOP expense represent the actual benefits earned by the Company’s participants in each year, while the cost basis of shares released, the fair value of shares released and the dividends on unallocated shares elements are based on the proportion of the Company’s actual earned benefits in relation to the Parent’s ESOP total earned benefits. ESOP expense is affected by the market value of the Parent’s common stock on the monthly dates when shares are released. The market value of shares released during the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 averaged $71.29 and $73.95 per share, respectively.

Parent Sponsored Pension Plans

The Company participates in certain U.S. and Canadian plans sponsored solely by the Parent. All participants in the plans are employees or former employees of the Parent, either directly or through its subsidiaries. The primary U.S. plan was curtailed in 2010 and the other plans are generally also curtailed with no additional service benefits to be earned by participants.

J. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $78.3 million at June 30, 2012 and $77.2 million at December 31, 2011. Information regarding pension plans in which the accumulated benefit obligations exceed plan assets and pension plans in which projected benefit obligations (inclusive of anticipated future compensation increases) exceed plan assets follows:

|  | U.S. Plan |  |  | Non-U.S. Plans |

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined considering the returns projected for the various asset classes and the relative weighting for each asset class considering the target asset allocations. In addition the Company considers historical performance, the recommendations from outside actuaries and other data in developing the return assumption. The Company expects to use a weighted-average rate of return assumption of 6.5% for the U.S. plan, in the determination of fiscal 2013 net periodic benefit expense.

J. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

U.S. and foreign equity securities primarily consist of companies with large market capitalizations and to a lesser extent mid and small capitalization securities. Government securities primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities and foreign government securities with de minims default risk. Corporate fixed income securities include publicly traded U.S. and foreign investment grade and to a small extent high yield securities. Other investments include U.S. mortgage backed securities. The level 2 investments are primarily comprised of institutional mutual funds that are not publicly traded; the investments held in these mutual funds are generally level 1 publicly traded securities.

The Company’s investment strategy for pension plan assets includes diversification to minimize interest and market risks. Plan assets are rebalanced periodically to maintain target asset allocations. Currently, the Company’s target allocations include 50% in equity securities and 50% in fixed income securities. Maturities of investments are not necessarily related to the timing of expected future benefit payments, but adequate liquidity to make immediate and medium term benefit payments is ensured.

Contributions

The Company’s funding policy for its defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts determined annually on an actuarial basis to provide for current and future benefits in accordance with federal law and other regulations. The Company expects to contribute approximately $2.8 million and $2.4 million to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans during the six months ended December 29, 2012 and in 2013, respectively.

Expected Future Benefit Payments

Benefit payments, inclusive of amounts attributable to estimated future employee service, are expected to be paid as follows over the next 10 years:

In general, there were no income taxes paid directly to any taxing authority by the Company for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011. Any liability owed by the Company due to taxable income generated is settled through intercompany transfers with the Parent. Had the Company paid its own tax liabilities during tax periods ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, the net payments would have been approximately $15.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively.

O. Income Taxes (continued)

The reconciliation of federal income tax at the statutory federal rate to income tax at the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 is as follows:

|  | June 30, 2012 |  |  | July 2, 2011 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Tax at statutory rate |  | $ | 12.0 |  |  | $ | 9.8 |
State income taxes, net of federal benefits |  |  | 0.4 |  |  |  | 0.2 |
Difference between foreign and federal income tax |  |  | (1.3 | ) |  |  | (0.9 | )
NOL and valuation allowance items |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | 0.5 |
Other, net |  |  | (0.4 | ) |  |  | (1.0 | )
Income taxes on continuing operations |  | $ | 10.6 |  |  | $ | 8.6 |

The components of earnings before provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 consisted of the following:

|  | June 30, 2012 |  |  | July 2, 2011 |
|  | (In Millions) |
United States |  | $ | 11.1 |  |  | $ | 3.6 |
Foreign |  |  | 23.3 |  |  |  | 24.3 |
Earnings before income taxes |  | $ | 34.4 |  |  | $ | 27.9 |

Any undistributed foreign earnings of the Company at June 30, 2012, are considered to be invested indefinitely or will be remitted substantially free of additional U.S. tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for taxes that might be payable upon remittance of such earnings, nor is it practicable to determine the amount of such liability. The Company classifies all tax-related interest and penalties in the provision for income taxes.

The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and the impact on income tax expense, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. As of June 30, 2012 the company no longer requires a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities in conjunction with the IRS audit of the Parent. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company is included in the IRS examination of the Parent for tax years 2008 and 2009. The Company also files many state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Tax years 2008 and forward generally remain subject to examination by most state tax authorities. In foreign jurisdictions, tax years 2007 and forward generally remain subject to examination.

P. Commitments and Guarantees

Commitments

The Company has non-cancelable operating lease agreements, principally related to facilities, vehicles, machinery and equipment. Rental expense for operating leases was $6.1 and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.

The following is a summary of the Company’s future commitments which span more than one future fiscal year:

|  | Total |  |  | Remaining 2012 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2017 |

Guarantees

The Company issued a standby letter of credit for $0.3 million to guarantee future payments which may be required under an insurance program.

The Company provides product and service warranties. The types of warranties offered generally range from one year to limited lifetime, while certain products carry no warranty. Further, the Company sometimes incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues. Historical warranty and service claim experience forms the basis for warranty obligations recognized. Adjustments are recorded to the warranty liability as new information becomes available.

Following is a summary of the warranty activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011:

|  | June 30, 2012 |  |  | July 2, 2011 |
|  | (In Millions) |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 4.4 |  |  | $ | 4.3 |

Q. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to environmental issues, employment, product liability, workers’ compensation claims and other matters. The Company periodically reviews the status of these proceedings with both inside and outside counsel, as well as an actuary for risk insurance. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on operations or financial condition taken as a whole.

The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed certain commitments and contingent liabilities. HHI is a party to litigation and administrative proceedings with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment. Some of these assert claims for damages and liability for remedial investigations and clean-up costs with respect to sites that have never been owned or operated by HHI but at which HHI has been identified as a potentially responsible party. Other matters involve current and former manufacturing facilities.

In the event that no amount in the range of probable loss is considered most likely, the minimum loss in the range is accrued. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims. In addition, the Company is a party to a number of proceedings before federal and state regulatory agencies relating to environmental remediation. Also, the Company, along with many other companies, has been named as a PRP in a number of administrative proceedings for the remediation of various waste sites, including 3 active Superfund sites. Current laws potentially impose joint and several liabilities upon each PRP. In assessing its potential liability at these sites, the Company has considered the following: whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of existing agreements, experience at similar sites, and the Company’s volumetric contribution at these sites.

The Company’s policy is to accrue environmental investigatory and remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount of liability recorded is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site and includes such factors as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. The liabilities recorded do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance or third parties. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, the amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had reserves of $26.9 million and $26.7 million, respectively, for remediation activities associated with Company-owned properties, as well as for Superfund sites, for losses that are probable and estimable. Of the 2012 amount, $1.6 million is classified as current and $25.3 million as long-term which is expected to be paid over the estimated remediation period.

Q. Contingencies (continued)

The range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $19.0 million to $44.7 million which is subject to change in the near term. The Company may be liable for environmental remediation of sites it no longer owns. Liabilities have been recorded on those sites in accordance with policy.

The environmental liability for certain sites that have cash payments beyond the current year that are fixed or reliably determinable have been discounted using a rate of 2.1% to 3.8%, depending on the expected timing of disbursements. The discounted and undiscounted amount of the liability relative to these sites is $7.7 million and $15.6 million, respectively. The payments relative to these sites are expected to be $0.4 million in the remainder of 2012, $0.7 million in 2013, $0.7 million in 2014, $0.8 million in 2015, $0.4 million in 2016, and $12.6 million thereafter.
