        <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font size="2">Inventory consists principally of finished goods sourced from third-party suppliers. Inventory also includes finished goods, work in process and raw materials related to the Company&rsquo;s manufacture of sterling silver products. Inventory is priced by the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market method. The Company estimates the selling price of its inventory on a product by product basis
        based on the current selling environment and considering the various available channels of distribution (e.g. wholesale: specialty store, off-price retailers, etc. or the Internet and catalog). If the estimated selling price is lower than the inventory&rsquo;s cost, the Company reduces the value of inventory to the estimated selling price. If the Company is inaccurate in its estimates of selling prices, it could report material fluctuations in gross margin. Historically, the
        Company&rsquo;s adjustments to inventory have not resulted in material unexpected charges. Consistent with the seasonality of the Company&rsquo;s business, the Company&rsquo;s inventory levels generally increase, beginning late in the second quarter of the year, and reach a peak at the end of the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter, and decline thereafter. The components of inventory are as follows:</font></p>

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company&rsquo;s lenders waived the Company&rsquo;s non-compliance with the financial covenants required by the Credit Facility at December 31, 2008. The Amendment modified the Credit Facility in certain ways including, as follows: (i) changed the maturity
        date to January 31, 2011, (ii) added certain asset categories to the borrowing base, (iii) increased the applicable margin rates (including a minimum LIBOR of 1.75%), (iv) revised the minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility)&nbsp;and fixed charge coverage covenants and added both a minimum net sales and maximum capital expenditures covenant, (v) eliminated the requirement of maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios, (vi) eliminated the $50 million
        accordion feature, (vii) revised the minimum excess availability amount and (viii) placed restrictions on dividends and acquisitions. The Amendment also provided for a lock-box arrangement with the collateral agent. The Company has classified the indebtedness as a current liability in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 because the Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a &ldquo;lock-box&rdquo; for the benefit of its
        lenders. </font></p>

The effect of recording these interest rate swap agreements at fair value resulted in unrealized gains of $34,000 and $104,000 for the three and nine month periods
        ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and $58,000 and $67,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively, which is included in interest expense. The agreements expire in January 2011.</font></p>

The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these agreements is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effect of
        recording these derivatives at fair value resulted in unrealized gains of $29,000 and $255,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and unrealized losses of $114,000 and $192,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The Company currently projects that its future borrowings may be below the notional amount of its interest rate collars and swap accounted for as cash flow hedges. Therefore, an amount that has
        not yet been determined may be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the Company&rsquo;s statement of operations during the fourth quarter of 2009. Further, additional amounts may be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the statement of operations through the termination of the collars and swap as the result of further decreases in debt levels. The agreements expire in November and December 2010.</font></p>

Additionally, the Company has various state net operating loss carry forwards that will begin to expire in 2014. Since management is uncertain of its ability to utilize its future deferred tax benefits, a full valuation allowance has been established. In accordance with ASC Topic No.

There were no changes to this amount during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. If the Company&rsquo;s tax positions are sustained by the taxing authorities in favor of the Company, the Company&rsquo;s liability would be reduced by $498,000, of which $307,000 would impact the
        Company&rsquo;s tax provision. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its tax positions and revises its estimates accordingly. The Company believes that $342,000 of its tax positions will be resolved within the next twelve months. </font></p>

The consolidated balance sheet of Grupo Vasconia, S.A.B. and Subsidiaries (a corporation in which the Company has a 29.99% interest) as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders&rsquo; equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 9, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. In the consolidated
        financial statements, the Company&rsquo;s investment in Grupo Vasconia, S.A.B. and Subsidiaries is stated at $17.8 million at December 31, 2008 and the Company&rsquo;s equity in the net income of Grupo Vasconia, S.A.B. and Subsidiaries is stated at $1.5 million for the year then ended. As described in Note F, on January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 470-20 (&ldquo;ASC Topic No. 470-20&rdquo;) on a retrospective basis
        resulting in a revision of the December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet. We have not audited and reported on the revised December 31, 2008 balance sheet reflecting the adoption of ASC Topic No. 470-20.</font></p>

        <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font size="2">The Company is one of North America&rsquo;s leading resources for nationally branded food preparation, tabletop and home d&eacute;cor products. The Company&rsquo;s three major product categories are Food Preparation, Tabletop and Home D&eacute;cor. The Company markets several product lines within each of these product categories and under each of the Company&rsquo;s brands, primarily targeting moderate to
        premium price points, through every major level of trade. The Company&rsquo;s competitive advantage is based on availability and use of its brands, an emphasis on innovation and new product development and sourcing capabilities. The Company owns or licenses a number of the leading brands in its industry including Farberware&reg;, KitchenAid&reg;, Cuisinart&reg;, Pfaltzgraff&reg; and Mikasa&reg;. Historically, the Company&rsquo;s sales growth has come from expanding product offerings
        within the Company&rsquo;s current categories by developing existing brands, and acquiring new brands and product categories. Key factors in the Company&rsquo;s growth strategy have been, and will continue to be, the selective use and management of the Company&rsquo;s brands, and the Company&rsquo;s ability to provide a stream of new products and designs. A significant element of this strategy is the Company&rsquo;s in-house design and development team that creates new products,
        packaging and merchandising concepts. </font></p>

        <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font size="2">The Company&rsquo;s financial performance in 2008 and 2009 has been negatively affected by unfavorable global economic conditions. Continued or further deteriorating economic conditions would likely have an adverse impact on the Company&rsquo;s sales volumes, pricing levels and profitability for the balance of 2009. As economic conditions change, trends in discretionary consumer spending also become
        unpredictable and subject to reductions due to uncertainties about the future. If consumers reduce discretionary spending, purchases of the Company&rsquo;s products may also decline. A general reduction in consumer discretionary spending due to the recession or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company&rsquo;s financial condition and results of operations. Further, due to the related credit crisis, the Company
        believes that available sources of liquidity to the Company are currently limited. However, the Company believes that availability under the Credit Facility and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund the Company&rsquo;s operations and that it will remain in compliance with the Credit Facility covenants. If circumstances were to adversely change, the Company would seek to improve its liquidity by taking actions such as to further lower its inventory and reduce expenses.
        Additionally, the Company may need to further amend or seek waivers under the Credit Facility and/or seek other sources of liquidity. However, there can be no assurance that any such efforts would be successful or that the results of any such efforts would be adequate. Finally, the combined effects of the economic downturn and credit crisis have had a significant impact on the Company&rsquo;s&nbsp;customers and in certain cases resulted in bankruptcies and eventual liquidation. The
        Company closely monitors the creditworthiness of its customers. Based upon the evaluation of changes in customers&rsquo; creditworthiness, the Company may modify credit limits and/or terms of sale. The Company's liquidity&nbsp;has not been materially affected by the bankruptcy or liquidation of any of its customers to date. However, notwithstanding the Company&rsquo;s efforts to monitor its customers&rsquo; financial conditions, the Company may be materially affected in the
        future.</font></p>

        <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font size="2">In April 2009, public health authorities reported an outbreak of influenza that had the potential to become pandemic and in July 2009, a pandemic was officially declared. A severe and prolonged outbreak may have a significant negative effect on overall economic activity, including the demand for the Company&rsquo;s products. In response to such an outbreak, public health authorities may recommend that
        people stay at home or call for employers to close facilities. Significant absenteeism or closing the Company&rsquo;s facilities would have an adverse effect on the Company&rsquo;s business. The Company has not experienced any negative impact as a result of the pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. However, the Company is unable to predict the effect the pandemic may have on the Company&rsquo;s business in the future.</font></p>

During the 2008 period, the Company

The restructuring charges consisted of lease obligations, severance and other related costs. The

In addition, the Company adjusted certain impairment charges that were recognized in 2008 related to the restructuring plan as the result of the decision not to vacate certain leased space that the Company had

Consistent with this plan, the Company has been selling slower moving inventory at lower than regular gross margin levels. The plan was developed to increase efficiency by reducing
        the capital invested in inventory and substantially reducing third-party warehousing and related expenses. The plan has, in certain cases, negatively impacted the Company&rsquo;s gross margins and may negatively impact the Company&rsquo;s gross margins in the future.

        account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components in a manner that reflects the issuer&rsquo;s non-convertible debt borrowing rate with the resulting debt discount amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the life of the convertible debt. Accordingly, the accompanying December 31, 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheet and September 30, 2008 condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows have been adjusted to reflect the
        application of the provisions of ASC Topic No. 470-20. </font></p>

Net sales for the Company&rsquo;s food preparation product category decreased approximately $9.0 million and net sales for the Company&rsquo;s tabletop product category decreased approximately $7.8 million.
        The decreases in these product categories were primarily attributable to lower volume as a result of the weak retail sales environment. In addition, the 2008 period reflects sales to a significant customer that has since ceased operations and the liquidation of excess inventory in connection with the June 2008 acquisition of Mikasa&reg;. Net sales in the Company&rsquo;s home d&eacute;cor product category decreased approximately $2.8 million due to lower volume primarily from the
        Company&rsquo;s elimination of certain low margin business. Net sales of other wholesale products increased by approximately $1.6 million due to the introduction of a product line.</font></p>

The Company
        attributes the decrease in net sales on a comparable basis for the direct-to-consumer segment of $1.4 million to the weak retail sales environment and the de-emphasis of the catalog channel which has low profitability. </font></p>

        its liquidity by taking actions such as to further lower its inventory and reduce expenses. Additionally, the Company may need to further amend or seek waivers under the Credit Facility and/or seek other sources of liquidity.

The Notes are convertible at the option of the holder anytime prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company may elect to deliver either

The Company is exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. The Company&rsquo;s Credit Facility bears interest at variable rates and, therefore, the Company is subject to increases and decreases in interest expense resulting from fluctuations
        in interest rates. The Company has interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million and interest rate collar agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $40.2 million to manage interest rate exposure in connection with these variable interest rate borrowings. There have been no changes in interest rates that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company for the three months
        ended September 30, 2009.</font></p>
