REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Members of Armkel, LLC
Princeton, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Armkel, LLC (the Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income and changes in members equity, and cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from August 28, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from August 28, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Armkel, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from August 28, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from August 28, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
And for the Period from August 28, 2001 (Inception) to December 31, 2001
1. description of business
Armkel, LLC (the Company), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed as an equally owned joint venture between Church and Dwight Co., Inc. (C&D) and affiliates of Kelso and Company, L.P. (Kelso). The Companys joint venture agreement governs its operations. The Company was formed to acquire (the Acquisition) certain operations of the consumer products business of Carter-Wallace, Inc. (CWCPD). The remainder of Carter-Wallace, which was primarily comprised of Carter-Wallaces healthcare and pharmaceuticals business, was merged with an unrelated third party, which became the successor company to Carter-Wallace (the Successor). On August 28, 2001, the Company was capitalized when Armkel Finance Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) issued $225 million of 9.5% senior subordinated notes, for net proceeds of $223.5 million. The Company is a leading marketer and manufacturer of well-recognized branded personal care consumer products, including condoms, depilatories and waxes and home pregnancy and ovulation test kits.
2. basis of presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounts of operating units outside of North America are included for periods one month prior to the period presented. The financial statement effect of the Italian operations, divested in February 2003, is recognized as discontinued operations in all periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes estimates regarding inventory valuation, promotional and sales returns reserves, the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, the realization of deferred tax assets, tax reserves, liabilities related to pensions and other postretirement benefit obligations and other matters that affect the reported amounts and other disclosures in the financial statements. Estimates by their nature are based on judgement and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates, and it is possible such changes could occur in the near term.
Revenue Recognition
In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company began recognizing revenue when finished goods are delivered to its customers (FOB Destination). Previously, revenue was recognized upon shipment of the finished goods to the customer (FOB Shipping). The Companys management has concluded that the effect of changing its revenue recognition from FOB Shipping to FOB Destination was not material to the current or prior periods consolidated financial statements. The adjustment to FOB Destination recorded in the fourth quarter of 2003 resulted in a reduction to net income of $1.9 million. The following table shows the net income (loss) of the Company as reported and the adjusted net income (loss) that would have been reported had the Company always recognized revenue when product was delivered to its customers:

For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
And for the Period from August 28, 2001 (Inception) to December 31, 2001
Promotional and Sales Returns Reserves
The Company conducts extensive promotion activities, primarily through the use of off-list discounts, slotting, co-op advertising, periodic price reduction arrangements, and end-aisle and other in-store displays. All such costs are netted against sales. Slotting costs are expensed when revenue is recognized. Co-op advertising costs are expensed when the customer places the advertisement for the Companys products. Discounts relating to price reduction arrangements are recorded when the related sale takes place. Costs associated with end-aisle or other in-store displays are recorded at the earlier of shipment of the display unit or completion of the related sale.
The reserves for sales returns and consumer and trade promotion liabilities are established based on the Companys best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. The Company uses historical trend experience and coupon redemption provider input in arriving at coupon reserve requirements, and the Company uses forecasted appropriations, customer and sales organization inputs, and historical trend analysis in arriving at the reserves required for other promotional activities and sales returns.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such situations, long-lived assets are considered impaired when estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the assets carrying amount. While the Company believes that its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows could materially affect its estimates. When an impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted to determine the estimated fair value of the asset and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the net present value of estimated future cash flows.
Foreign Currency Translation
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivatives designated as hedges are either (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), or (2) a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge).
| Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. |
| Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged asset or liability. Any ineffectiveness related to these hedges are recorded directly in earnings. The amount of the ineffectiveness was not material. |
| Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated or qualifying as an accounting hedge are recorded directly to earnings. |
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in the fair value of certain derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, and minimum pension liability adjustments, and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Changes in Members Equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
And for the Period from August 28, 2001 (Inception) to December 31, 2001
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid short-term investments, which mature within three months of purchase.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment and additions thereto are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from 3-20 years.
Goodwill, Tradenames and Patents
The Company accounts for Goodwill, Tradenames and Patents in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company does not bill shipping and handling costs to its customers. The Company reimburses C&D for shipping and handling costs.
Selected Operating Expenses
Cost of goods sold includes costs related to the manufacturing of the Companys products (including raw material costs, inbound freight, direct labor, and indirect plant costs such as plant supervision, maintenance labor and materials, depreciation, taxes and insurance), purchasing, production planning, operations management, logistics, freight to customers, warehousing costs and internal transfer freight costs.
Marketing expenses include costs for advertising (excluding the costs of co-op advertising programs, which are reflected in net sales), costs for coupon insertion (mainly the cost of printing and distribution), consumer promotion costs (such as on-shelf advertisements and floor ads), public relations, package design expense and market research costs. Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $41.1 million and $35.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $6.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2001.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to functions such as sales, corporate management, marketing administration and legal, among others. Such costs include compensation related costs (such as benefits, profit sharing, deferred compensation and employer contributions to the 401K and other benefit plans); travel and entertainment related expenses; trade show expenses; insurance; professional and other consulting fees; costs related to temporary staff; staff relocation costs; and non-capitalizable software related costs. Research & development costs in the amount of $10.4 million and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were charged to administrative expenses as incurred. Research and development costs were $1.8 million for the period from August 28 to December 31, 2001.
Income Taxes
As the Company is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes, it is generally not subject to U.S. taxes on income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes on Domestic income. The foreign subsidiaries of the Company are subject to taxation. They recognize current and deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method; accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the future consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Also, distributions may be made to the members in order to fund their tax liability.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
And for the Period from August 28, 2001 (Inception) to December 31, 2001
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The effective date for the Company was January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN No. 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (Interpretation). This Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair market value of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure provisions were effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statement. However, the Company did record a liability of $0.5 million for a guarantee reserve related to an indemnification to the buyer of its Italian subsidiaries.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 was effective for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2003. This standard did not have an effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions. The Company adopted the provisions of the statement on its effective date and it did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which aims to eliminate diversity in practice by requiring that the freestanding financial instruments be reported as liabilities by their issuers. The provisions of SFAS 150, which also include a number of new disclosure requirements, was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for pre-existing instruments as of the beginning of the first interim period that commences after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of the statement on its effective date and it did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as amended in December 2003 by FIN No. 46R. FIN No. 46 sets forth criteria to be used in determining whether an investment in a variable interest entity (VIE) should be consolidated and is based on the general premise that companies that control another entity through interests other than voting interests should consolidate the controlled entity. FIN No. 46 would require the immediate consolidation of specified VIEs created after January 31, 2003. For specified VIEs created before February 1, 2003, FIN No. 46 would require consolidation in interim or annual financial statements issued for periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company has reviewed FIN No. 46 and determined that it would not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of SFAS No. 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106. This Statement retained the disclosure requirements as originally included in SFAS No. 132 and contained additional disclosure requirements. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 12 to its financial statements.
In January 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 106-1 Accounting and Disclosure Requirements to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act). The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The FSP permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Act. The Company does not believe that the effects of the Act apply to its postretirement health care plans and it will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Short-term Borrowings
The amounts of unsecured lines of credit equal fair value because of their short maturities and variable interest rates.
Syndicated Bank Credit Facility
The fair value of these securities approximates their carrying values based upon the variable interest rates that they carry.
Senior Subordinated Notes
The fair value is determined based on quoted market prices at or near December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Interest Rate Swaps
Carrying amounts of interest rate swaps contracts are reflected on the Companys balance sheet at their fair value.
The fair values are the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
Carrying amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts are reflected on the Companys balance sheet at their fair value.
The fair values are based on current indicative foreign exchange values.

Interest Rate Risk
The Company entered into a syndicated bank credit facility and also issued senior subordinated notes to finance the Acquisition. The syndicated bank credit facility consists of variable rate $220 million 6 and 7 1/2-year term loans, of which $143.7 million was outstanding at December 31, 2003, and an $85 million variable rate revolving credit facility, which remained fully undrawn at December 31, 2003. On August 28, 2001, the Company issued $225 million of 9.5% senior subordinated notes due in 8 years with the interest paid semi-annually. The weighted average interest rate on the credit facility borrowings at December 31, 2003 and 2002, excluding deferred financing costs and commitment fees, was approximately 4.0% and 5.0% respectively. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of the credit facilitys variable interest rate. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed interest rate payments periodically over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. At December 31, 2003 all interest rate swap agreements were settled. At December 31, 2002, the Company had agreements for a notional amount of $50 million, swapping debt with a one-month LIBOR rate for a fixed rate that averaged 6.6%.
Foreign Currency
The Company is subject to exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily U.S. Dollar/British Pound, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso, U.S. Dollar/Australian Dollar and U.S. Dollar/Euro. A portion of the Companys revenues and earnings are exposed to changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. Where practical, the Company seeks to relate expected local currency revenues with local currency costs and local currency assets with local currency liabilities.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into intercompany loans with certain of its subsidiaries. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange accounting remeasurement gains and losses from these intercompany loans. The Company has entered into several foreign exchange contracts to hedge the net accounting remeasurement exposure on the intercompany loans which is recorded in other income (expense). At December 31, 2003, the Company has 11.5 million EURO hedge with an average rate of 1.154, which is approximately 72.4% of the total EURO debt position. The Company has 30.0 million Mexican Pesos hedge with a rate of 0.0878, which is approximately 48.5% of the PESO debt position. The Company has 4.8 million Australian Dollar hedge with a rate of 0.6896, which is approximately 53.9% of the AUS$ debt position.

6. acquisitions
On May 7, 2001 the Company and Carter-Wallace entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement which was consummated on September 28, 2001. The Company acquired the assets and liabilities that related primarily to the consumer products business of Carter-Wallace, as well as 100% of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries of Carter-Wallace. The purchase price for the acquired business was approximately $739 million, which consisted of cash consideration of approximately $715.4 million, the repayment of approximately $19.9 million of indebtedness and the assumption of approximately $3.7 million of indebtedness, plus transaction fees and expenses of approximately $10.4 million. Additional purchase price was paid in 2002 related to the settlement of certain contingencies surrounding the Acquisition.
Under a separate agreement dated May 7, 2001, C&D agreed to simultaneously purchase from the Company, for $128.5 million, the assets relating to the antiperspirant/deodorant product lines in the United States and Canada and the assets relating to the Lambert-Kay line of pet products, and assumed the liabilities of these businesses.
The Acquisition is accounted for as a purchase under the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and has been included in the Companys financial statements from the date of the acquisition.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (excluding the assets relating to the anti-perspirant and pet care products businesses) adjusted to reflect the additional purchase price and allocation adjustments (in thousands):

Adjustments were also made to depreciation and amortization expense related to the fair value of the assets acquired and the implementation of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
7. goodwill and intangible assets
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. Under its changes, SFAS No. 142 establishes new standards for goodwill acquired in a business combination and eliminates amortization of goodwill and instead sets forth methods to periodically evaluate goodwill for impairment. The Company, at its inception, adopted certain provisions of this statement. The impairment provisions of the statement were adopted January 1, 2002 and did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
And for the Period from August 28, 2001 (Inception) to December 31, 2001
Governance. The joint venture agreement contains provisions regarding the Companys governance, including the following:
| Board of Directors. The Companys board of directors consists of three directors appointed by C&D and three directors appointed by the Kelso funds. Any committee established by the Companys board of directors must have an equal number of directors appointed by the Kelso funds and by C&D. Any action by the Companys board of directors requires the affirmative vote of members holding a majority of membership interests present at a meeting at which such matter is voted upon, except that in certain matters, approval of at least one C&D director and at least one Kelso director is also required. The presence of an equal number of Kelso directors and C&D directors constitutes a quorum. |
| Officers and Management. The Companys officers may be removed by its board of directors (requiring, in the case of its chief executive officer, the approval of at least one Kelso director and one C&D director) or the Companys chief executive officer (in the case of its other officers). In addition, if certain financial targets are not satisfied, Kelso has the right to remove the Companys chief executive officer. Vacancies in the Companys officer positions will be filled by its board of directors (which, in the case of the Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer positions, require the approval of a Kelso director and a C&D director) or the Companys chief executive officer. |
A number of significant managerial functions are performed for the Company by C&D.
Transfers of Interests; Preferential Purchase or Sale Rights. Except as described below, the Companys members may not transfer their interests in the Company or admit additional members (other than in transactions with certain of their respective affiliates), without the prior written consent of all of the other members.
| Call Option. The Kelso funds have granted C&D an option to purchase the Kelso funds membership interests in the Company. The option is exercisable at any time after the third anniversary and before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition. The purchase price for the Kelso funds interests in the Company is equal to 50% of the Companys fair market value at the time the option exercise notice is given, as determined pursuant to a valuation method set forth in the joint venture agreement. The purchase price is subject to certain floors and caps which are indexed to the Kelso funds rate of return on their investment in the Company. |
| Right of First Offer and Drag Along Rights. The joint venture agreement provides for a mechanism whereby the Companys members may dispose of their interests and, in certain circumstances, force a sale of the entire entity. At any time after the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition, in the case of a request by the Kelso funds, and after the seventh anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition, in the case of a request by C&D, the Kelso funds or C&D may request that the other party purchase all (but not less than all) of the requesting partys ownership interests in the Company at a price specified in the request. If the other party declines the request, the requesting party may sell all of its interests and all of the other members interest in the Company to a third party, with the proceeds of such sale to be distributed to the members in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement. Under certain circumstances, if the proceeds of a proposed third party sale are insufficient to provide the Kelso funds with a return of their initial investment (less $5.0 million), C&D may elect to purchase the Kelso funds interests at a price equal to the amount of the Kelso funds initial investment (less $5.0 million), or pay the Kelso funds the amount of such shortfall, as described below. Under certain circumstances in which Kelso requests that C&D purchase its ownership interests, and C&D declines, then following a bona fide sales process, Kelso may require C&D to purchase the Kelso funds ownership interests for a price equal to Kelsos investment, less $5.0 million (as such terms are defined in the joint venture agreement). This amount would not be payable until after the seventh anniversary of the Acquisition. |
| Change of Control Put Option. The joint venture agreement also provides that, upon the occurrence of a change of control of C&D (as defined in the joint venture agreement), the Kelso funds may require C&D to purchase all of the Kelso funds ownership interests in the Company at a price equal to (i) the fair market value of the Company at the time the option exercise notice is given, minus $5.0 million, multiplied by 50%, plus (ii) $5.0 million. |

The foregoing purchase and sale rights will be subject to various adjustments and limitations not described above, including the agreement by C&D that, in the case of a forced sale to a third party, after the seventh anniversary of the Acquisition it will make up any shortfall to the Kelso funds relative to the Kelso funds aggregate initial capital contribution, less $5.0 million.
Covenants of C&D. Under the joint venture agreement, C&D has agreed that:

| it will not create or cause or permit to exist any restriction on its ability to operate the Company or on the Companys ability to engage in any line of business; and |
| if presented with an opportunity to operate or invest in any entity engaged in the business of manufacturing, marketing or selling of condoms, depilatory products or diagnostic tests, or, with respect to non-U.S. operations, cosmetics, over-the-counter drugs or toning and exfoliating products, it will first offer such opportunity to the Company. |
Covenant of Kelso. Under the joint venture agreement, the Kelso funds have agreed that, if presented with an opportunity to operate or invest in any entity engaged in the business of manufacturing, marketing or selling condoms, depilatory products or diagnostic tests, it will first offer such opportunity to the Company.

| the vote of all members in favor of termination; |
| an initial public offering of the Companys equity interests; |
| the payment of the proceeds of any sale of the Company to a third party, or upon the final liquidating distribution made in connection with a dissolution of the Company; or |
| the payment in full by either member of the purchase price for all the membership interests of the other member. |
Dissolution of the Company. The Company will be dissolved and its assets liquidated upon the occurrence of any of the following:
| the vote of all members in favor of dissolution; |

10. short-term borrowings and long-term debt
The Company entered into a syndicated bank credit facility and also issued senior subordinated notes primarily to finance the Acquisition.
Syndicated Bank Credit Facility
The bank credit facility, consisting of several tranches, has a total of $220 million in variable rate six and seven and one half year term loans, all of which were used to finance the Acquisition and a six year $85 million variable rate revolving credit facility, which remained fully undrawn at December 31, 2003. The revolving credit facility is available for working capital, general corporate purposes, severance payments and acquisitions.
The tranche A-1 facility, a $50 million term loan with a predetermined repayment schedule, matures in September of 2007. The interest rate is variable with the Company having the option to select one of several variable rates including LIBOR plus a percentage to be determined based on the Companys financial performance but no greater than 3%, an alternate base rate plus a percentage to be determined based on the Companys financial performance but no greater than 2% or the greater of prime rate, a certificate of deposit rate plus 1% or Federal Funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%. For the period ended December 31, 2003 the Company selected a rate based on LIBOR.
The tranche A-2 facility, a $31.5 million Canadian dollar term loan (US $20 million at acquisition), with a predetermined repayment schedule, matures in September of 2007. The interest rate is variable with the Company having the option to select among two variable rates, Canadian BA rate plus a percentage to be determined based on the Companys financial performance but no greater than 3% or a rate equal to the greater of the Bank of Canadas prime rate plus a percentage to be determined based on the Companys financial performance but no greater than 2%. During the period ended December 31, 2003 the Company selected variable rates.
The tranche B facility, a $150 million term loan with a predetermined repayment schedule, matures in March of 2009. The interest rate is variable with the Company having the option to select one of two variable rates, LIBOR plus 3% or an alternate base rate plus 2%. For the period ended December 31, 2003 the Company selected a rate based on LIBOR.
The $85 million revolving credit facility has a variable interest rate with the Company having the option to select one of several rates including LIBOR plus a percentage to be determined based on the Companys financial performance but no greater than 3%, an alternate base rate plus a percentage to be determined based on the Companys financial performance but no greater than 2% or the greater of prime rate, a certificate of deposit rate plus 1% or Federal Funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%. The Company pays an unused commitment fee of .5% based on the daily average unused portion of the revolving credit facility, subject to certain reductions based on the Companys financial performance.
The weighted average interest rate on the overall credit facility, for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from August 28 (inception) to December 31, 2001, excluding the undrawn revolving facility, was 4.0%, 5.0% and 5.9% respectively, exclusive of deferred financing costs and commitment fees, including hedges.

And for the Period from August 28, 2001 (Inception) to December 31, 2001
The syndicated bank credit facility contains various non financial and financial covenants including the maintenance of certain ratios of leverage and interest coverage as well as limitations on capital expenditures, liens, sale of assets, acquisitions, voluntary prepayment of debt, transactions with affiliates and loans and investments. Violation of covenants could result in an event of default and trigger early termination of the credit facility, if not remedied within a certain period of time. In 2002, the Company executed a waiver to the syndicated bank credit facility in order to gain approval for the sale of the Italian operations.
In addition to the predetermined repayment schedule, the term loans will be mandatorily reduced in amounts equal to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined, 100% of net cash proceeds of asset sales and dispositions of property, 100% of net cash proceeds of any issuances of debt obligations and 50% of net cash proceeds of issuances of equity. Upon completion of the sale of the Italian operations in February 2003, the Company paid 100% of the net cash proceeds of $21.6 million to reduce the term loans.
The borrowings under the syndicated bank credit facility are secured by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company, a pledge of stock of the Companys operating subsidiaries and a pledge of not more than 65% of the voting capital stock of the Companys foreign subsidiaries.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On August 28, 2001, the Company issued $225 million of 9.5% senior subordinated notes due in 2009 (Notes) with interest paid semi-annually. The Notes were issued at a discount and the Company received proceeds of $223.5 million, all of which were used to finance the Acquisition. The Notes are subordinate to all amounts outstanding under the credit facility. The effective yield on the Notes is approximately 9.62%. The terms of the Notes provide for an optional prepayment of principal at a premium. The original issue discount is being amortized using the effective interest method. The Notes are guaranteed by all of the Companys domestic subsidiaries. The Notes contain various financial and non-financial covenants similar to the credit facility.

The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements, which are considered derivatives, to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate credit facility. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating interest rate for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. At December 31, 2003, the Company had no outstanding swap agreements as during 2003 the Company terminated all outstanding interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2002, the Company had swap agreements in the notional amount of $50 million, swapping debt with a one month LIBOR rate for a fixed interest rate that averaged 6.6%. The fair

12. pension and nonpension postretirement benefits
The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain hourly employees. Pension benefits to retired employees are based upon their length of service and a percentage of qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. The Companys funding policy is consistent with federal funding requirements. Retirement plan obligations consist of the Retirement Plan for Bargaining Employees of Carter-Wallace and certain obligations of foreign subsidiaries.
Obligations for retirement-related plans exist in each of the Companys foreign subsidiaries. Both Canada and the United Kingdom have defined benefit pension plans. The plans are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 87, Accounting for Pensions. The retirement-related plans that also exist in other foreign subsidiaries are not material to these consolidated statements.
Postretirement benefit obligations related to the Companys United States bargaining unit employees and employees in Canada are included in the accompanying consolidated statements in accordance with SFAS No. 106, Employers Obligations for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. This standard requires the cost of such benefits to be recognized during the employees active working career.

On December 31, 2003 the accumulated benefit obligation related to the pension plans exceeded the fair value of the pension plan assets (such excess is referred to as an un-funded accumulated benefit obligation). This difference is attributed to (1) an increase in the accumulated benefit obligation that resulted from the decrease in the interest rate used to discount the projected benefit obligation to its present settlement amount from 6.75% to 6.00% in two of the Companys plans and (2) a slight decline in the market value of the domestic plan assets at December 31, 2003. As a result, in accordance with SFAS No. 87, the Company recognized an additional minimum pension liability of $3.3 million included in benefit obligations, and recorded a charge, net of tax, to accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.2 million which decreased members equity. The charge to members equity for the excess of additional pension liability represents a net loss not yet recognized as pension expense.
The pension plan assets primarily consist of equity mutual funds, fixed income funds and a guaranteed investment contract fund. Employer cash contributions to the pension plan in 2004 is expected to be approximately $0.8 million.
The Companys investment policy is designed to provide flexibility in the asset mix decision based on managements assessment of economic conditions with the overall objective being maximum rates of return appropriately balanced to minimize market risks. While our asset mix has varied significantly over the last two years because of the downturn in the economy and the resulting effects on equity securities, our long-term strategic goal is to reach an asset mix comprising approximately 60% equity securities and 40% fixed income securities. The Companys defined benefit plan weighted average asset allocation by asset category are as follows:

The Company also maintains a defined contribution profit-sharing plan for domestic salaried and certain hourly employees. Contributions to the profit-sharing plan charged to earnings were approximately $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $0.6 million for the period from September 29, 2001 to December 31, 2001.

The Company also has an employee savings plan. The Company matches 50% of each employees contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employees earnings. The Companys matching contributions to the savings plan were approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $0.1 million for the period from September 29, 2001 to December 31, 2001.
13. related party transactions
Arrangements with Church & Dwight
As part of the acquisition, the Company entered into a management services agreement (MSA) with C&D whereby C&D has agreed to provide the Company with corporate management and administrative services primarily for the Companys domestic operations. These services generally include, but are not limited to, sales, marketing, facilities operations, finance, accounting, MIS, legal and regulatory, human resources, R&D, Canadian sales and executive and senior management oversight of each of the above services. Each of the transactions described above was negotiated by the partners of the Company, who are unaffiliated with each other.
The term of the management services agreement is five years, with automatic one-year renewals unless the Company provides six months notice that it does not want to renew the agreement.
C&D charged the Company $24.4 million for primarily administrative and management oversight services for the year ended December 31, 2003. C&D charged the Company $22.5 million for primarily administrative and management services for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company sold $1.9 of deodorant/antiperspirant inventory to C&D at its cost during the year ended December 31, 2003, compared with $7.1 million of deodorant/antiperspirant during the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company purchased $2.9 million of Arm & Hammer products to be sold in international markets during the year ended December 31, 2003, compared with $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company charged C&D $1.7 million of transition administrative services. The Company had a net payable to C&D at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 of approximately $6.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, that primarily related to administration fees and invoices paid by C&D on behalf of Armkel, offset by amounts owed for inventory.
Arrangements with Kelso
Kelso has agreed to provide the Company with financial advisory services for which the Company pays an annual fee of $1.0 million. The Company has agreed to indemnify Kelso against certain liabilities and reimburse expenses in connection with its engagement. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company expensed $1.0 million for financial advisory services, which was prepaid, at a discounted value, at the end of 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company paid Kelso $1.0 million for 2002 financial advisory fees. For the period ended December 31, 2001, the Company paid Kelso $0.3 million for financial advisory services.

The Company also has capital lease obligations at certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The commitments on these obligations are immaterial.
The Company accounts for step rent provisions and escalation clauses on a straight-line basis. Any capital improvement funding or other lease concessions are taken into account when computing lease payments on a straight-line basis. Other than certain lease contracts which include escalations based on inflation, none of the Companys lease payments is computed based on an index or other rate. The Company accounts for leases with an escalation based on inflation in accordance with FTB 85-3.
Contingencies
On January 17, 2002, a petition for appraisal, Cede & Co., Inc. and GAMCO Investors, Inc. v. Medpointe Healthcare Inc., Civil Action No. 19354, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware demanding a determination of the fair value of shares of Medpointe. The action was brought by purported former shareholders of Carter-Wallace in connection with the merger on September 28, 2001 of MCC Acquisition Sub Corporation with and into Carter-Wallace. The merged entity subsequently changed its name to Medpointe. The petitioners seek an appraisal of the fair value of their shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The matter was heard on March 10 and 11, 2003, at which time the petitioners purportedly held approximately 2.3 million shares of Medpointe. An additional post-trial hearing was held on January 20, 2004 to address the valuation of the Company. No decision has yet been rendered by the court.
Medpointe and certain former Carter-Wallace shareholders are party to an indemnification agreement pursuant to which such shareholders will be required to indemnify Medpointe from a portion of the damages, if any, suffered by Medpointe in relation to the exercise of appraisal rights by other former Carter-Wallace shareholders in the merger. Pursuant to the agreement, the shareholders have agreed to indemnify Medpointe for 40% of any Appraisal Damages (defined as the recovery greater than the per share merger price times the number of shares in the appraisal class) suffered by Medpointe in relation to the merger; provided that if the total amount of Appraisal Damages exceeds $33.3 million, then the indemnifying stockholders will indemnify Medpointe for 100% of any damages suffered in excess of that amount. The Company, in turn, is party to an agreement with Medpointe pursuant to which it has agreed to indemnify Medpointe and certain related parties against 60% of any Appraisal Damages for which Medpointe remains liable. The maximum liability to the Company pursuant to the indemnification agreement and prior to any indemnification from C&D, as described in the following sentence is $12 million. C&D is party to an agreement with the Company pursuant to which it has agreed to indemnify the Company for 17.4% of any Appraisal Damages, or up to a maximum of $2.1 million for which the Company becomes liable.
The Company, Medpointe and the indemnifying shareholders believe that the consideration offered in the merger was fair to the former Carter-Wallace shareholders and have vigorously defended the petitioners claim. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the proceedings.
On March 27, 2003, GAMCO Investors, Inc. filed another complaint in the New York Supreme Court seeking damages from MedPointe Healthcare Inc., the former directors of Carter-Wallace, and one of the former shareholders of Carter-Wallace. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with certain employment agreements with former Carter-Wallace executives, the sale of Carter Wallaces consumer products business to the Company (some of the products acquired by the Company were subsequently sold by the Company to C&D) and the merger of MCC Acquisition Sub Corporation with and into Carter-Wallace. The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, including among other things, invalidation of the transactions. The defendants have moved to dismiss the complaint. The Company has not been named as a defendant in this action and believes it has no liability.
The Companys distribution of condoms under the Trojan and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Certain of Armkels condoms and similar condoms sold by Armkels major competitors, contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (N-9). The World Health Organization and other interested groups have issued reports suggesting that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse, given the ingredients potential to cause irritation to human membranes. The Company expects the FDA to issue non-binding draft guidance concerning the labeling of condoms with N-9, although the timing of such draft guidance is uncertain. The Company believes that condoms with N-9 provide an acceptable added means of contraceptive protection and is cooperating with the FDA concerning the appropriate labeling revisions, if any. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the

FDA review. While awaiting further FDA guidance, the Company has implemented interim labeling revisions that caution against rectal use and more-than-once-a-day vaginal use of N-9-containing condoms, and has launched a public information campaign to communicate these messages to the affected communities. If the FDA or state governments promulgate rules which prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements), the financial condition and operating results of the Company could suffer.
In March 2003, two members of the California Assembly introduced a non-binding resolution calling on FDA to ban condoms containing N-9. The proposed resolution was not brought to a vote since legally California could not ban an FDA approved medical device from marketing. Instead, the proposed resolution was announced at a public press release and retailers were asked voluntarily not to stock any condom containing N-9. The Company had previously supplied the Assemblymen and the Assembly Speaker with information explaining why a ban would be inappropriate and outlining the interim labeling revisions and public information efforts the Company has implemented. While the resolution cannot be voted upon and passed and cannot be legally binding, making it public (as was done here) could impair public perception of the product with resultant impairment of operating results of the Company.
On August 26, 2002, the Company filed suit against Pfizer in the District Court of New Jersey to redress infringement of two Company patents directed to pregnancy diagnostic devices. The suit claimed that Pfizers ept product infringed these patents. On June 23, 2003, the Company agreed to a settlement with Pfizer resulting in a gain after attorneys fees and costs of $12.7 million. As part of the settlement the Company granted Pfizer a fully paid-up non-exclusive worldwide license to practice and use the Companys pregnancy diagnostic devices patents until July 1, 2004.
The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operation.
15. reorganization reserve
As of September 28, 2001, the date of the acquisition of the Carter-Wallace Consumer Business (the Predecessor), the Company started to implement a plan to reorganize the operation of the acquired consumer business. The main components of the plan included rationalizing facilities for which the Company had incurred lease termination costs, environmental remediation costs and work force rationalization costs. The plan was finalized in 2002 and the Company substantially completed the plan in 2003 except for certain long-term contractual obligations related to benefits for certain former executives of Carter-Wallace, Inc. and certain environmental remediation activities.
The Company established an accrual for severance to reflect the purchase of various services from C&D in lieu of obtaining such services through continued employment of certain personnel by the Company. The accrued severance is for identified employees from various areas including executives, administrative support and corporate functions (finance, human resources, legal, MIS, R&D, logistics, marketing, sales and purchasing).

16. assets held for sale
In July 2002, the Company met the criteria to classify its Cranbury, New Jersey facility as assets held for sale. At December 31, 2001, the net book value of the Cranbury property and facilities was $43 million based on regional market prices for such property when used for a similar purpose, as determined by an independent appraisal at the time of acquisition. During the third quarter of 2002, however, independent real estate consultants advised the Company that the property would likely have to be sold to land developers who would use it for purposes other than manufacturing, for which the fair value is significantly less. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation recorded for the property to the fair value for developmental property ($20 million). Upon further review, the Company decided to retain the research and development building of the facility for continued use. The fair value of the research building is $5.4 million which has been reclassified to property, plant and equipment in the December 31, 2002 balance sheet.
In the second quarter of 2003, during negotiations with a potential buyer for the remaining land (other than that related to the research facilities), the buyer raised new issues regarding environmental remediation costs to be incurred by the Company prior to the sale, and the portion of the parcel that could actually be developed. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million in its statement of income for the second quarter of 2003, after the conclusion of the allocation period, because it became apparent from status of the negotiations in the second quarter of 2003 that the carrying value of the land (approximately $14.6 million at that time) would not be fully realized. In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company entered into a contract to sell the remaining land available for development (and demolish the remaining buildings at the buyers expense), subject to obtaining environmental and other regulatory approvals, which the Company expects to obtain during 2004. Currently, the value expected to be received for all land at the Cranbury, NJ location (other than that related to the research facilities), net of costs to sell, is approximately $11.5 million.
17. discontinued operations
At the end of December 2002, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Italian operations. On February 20, 2003, the sale was completed with proceeds of $22.6 million. The Company recorded an after-tax gain on the sale of these operations of approximately $1.9 million. As part of this transaction, the Company recorded a $0.5 million guarantee reserve which was the estimated fair value of the contractual indemnification obligation of the Company to the buyer of the Italian operations. In June 2003, the Company signed an agreement which effectively reduced the selling price by requiring the payment of 0.1 million euros by the Company to the buyer in the third quarter of 2003 in return for a release from any indemnification obligations that might arise with respect to certain tax matters under the definitive sales agreement. Upon payment of the 0.1 million euros the guarantee reserve was reduced accordingly. Exposure under such indemnification obligation is capped at 1.5 million Euros, which is approximately $1.9 million at December 31, 2003.
The financial statements of the comparable periods of a year ago in this report have been reclassified for discontinued operations.

18. patent infringement
On August 26, 2002, the Company filed suit against Pfizer in the District Court of New Jersey to redress infringement of two (2) of the Companys patents directed to pregnancy diagnostic devices. The suit claimed that Pfizers ept product infringes these patents. On June 23, 2003 the Company agreed to a settlement with Pfizer resulting in a gain, after attorneys fees and costs, of $12.7 million. As part of the settlement the Company granted Pfizer a fully paid-up non-exclusive worldwide license to practice and use the Companys pregnancy test kit patents until July 1, 2004. The patent infringement settlement required Pfizer to pay the Company $18.0 million within 45 days. The payment was received on August 7, 2003. The Company incurred approximately $5.3 million in legal and related settlement expenses.
19. long-term incentive plan

Arrangements with Church & Dwight
The Company owed C&D $6.6 million and $6.4 million for primarily administrative and management oversight services for the three months ended April 2, 2004 and March 28, 2003, respectively. The Company sold $0.5 million and $0.7 million of deodorant/antiperspirant inventory to C&D at its cost during the three months ended April 2, 2004 and March 28, 2003, respectively. The Company purchased $0.4 million and $0.8 million of Arm & Hammer products to be sold in international markets during the three months ended April 2, 2004 and March 28, 2003, respectively. The Company had a net payable to C&D at April 2, 2004 and March 28, 2003, respectively, of approximately $3.6 million and $3.5 million that primarily related to administration fees and invoices paid by C&D on behalf of Armkel, offset by amounts owed for inventory.
Arrangements with Kelso
Kelso provides the Company with financial advisory services for which the Company pays an annual fee of $1.0 million. The Company indemnifies Kelso against certain liabilities and reimburses expenses in connection with its engagement. For the three months ended April 2, 2004, the Company paid Kelso $0.3 million. The Company prepaid Kelsos 2003 annual fee at the end of December 2002.
6. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
a. | On January 17, 2002, a petition for appraisal, Cede & Co., Inc. and GAMCO Investors, Inc. v. Medpointe Healthcare Inc., Civil Action No. 19354, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware demanding a determination of the fair value of shares of Medpointe. The action was brought by purported former shareholders of Carter-Wallace in connection with the merger on September 28, 2001 of MCC Acquisition Sub Corporation with and into Carter-Wallace. The merged entity subsequently changed its name to Medpointe. The petitioners seek an appraisal of the fair value of their shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The matter was heard on March 10 and 11, 2003, at which time the petitioners purportedly held approximately 2.3 million shares of Medpointe. An additional post-trial hearing was held on January 20, 2004 to address the valuation of the Company. No decision has yet been rendered by the court. |
Medpointe and certain former Carter-Wallace shareholders are party to an indemnification agreement pursuant to which such shareholders will be required to indemnify Medpointe from a portion of the damages, if any, suffered by Medpointe in relation to the exercise of appraisal rights by other former Carter-Wallace shareholders in the merger. Pursuant to the agreement, the shareholders have agreed to indemnify Medpointe for 40% of any Appraisal Damages (defined as the recovery greater than the per share merger price times the number of shares in the appraisal class) suffered by Medpointe in relation to the merger; provided that if the total amount of Appraisal Damages exceeds $33.3 million, then the indemnifying stockholders will indemnify Medpointe for 100% of any damages suffered in excess of that amount. The Company, in turn, is party to an agreement with Medpointe pursuant to which it has agreed to indemnify Medpointe and certain related parties against 60% of any Appraisal Damages for which Medpointe remains liable. The maximum liability to the Company pursuant to the indemnification agreement and prior to any indemnification from C&D, as described in the following sentence is $12 million. C&D is party to an agreement with the Company pursuant to which it has agreed to indemnify the Company for 17.4% of any Appraisal Damages, or up to a maximum of $2.1, million for which the Company becomes liable.

ARMKEL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company, Medpointe and the indemnifying shareholders believe that the consideration offered in the merger was fair to the former Carter-Wallace shareholders and have vigorously defended the petitioners claim. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the proceedings.
On March 27, 2003, GAMCO Investors, Inc. filed another complaint in the New York Supreme Court seeking damages from MedPointe Healthcare Inc., the former directors of Carter-Wallace, and one of the former shareholders of Carter-Wallace. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with certain employment agreements with former Carter-Wallace executives, the sale of Carter Wallaces consumer products business to the Company (some of the products acquired by the Company were subsequently sold by the Company to C&D) and the merger of MCC Acquisition Sub Corporation with and into Carter-Wallace. The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, including among other things, invalidation of the transactions. The defendants have moved to dismiss the complaint. The Company has not been named as a defendant in this action and believes it has no liability.
b. | The Companys distribution of condoms under the Trojan and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Certain of Armkels condoms and similar condoms sold by Armkels major competitors, contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (N-9). The World Health Organization and other interested groups have issued reports suggesting that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse, given the ingredients potential to cause irritation to human membranes. The Company expects the FDA to issue non-binding draft guidance concerning the labeling of condoms with N-9, although the timing of such draft guidance is uncertain. The Company believes that condoms with N-9 provide an acceptable added means of contraceptive protection and is cooperating with the FDA concerning the appropriate labeling revisions, if any. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the FDA review. While awaiting further FDA guidance, the Company has implemented interim labeling revisions that caution against rectal use and more-than-once-a-day vaginal use of N-9-containing condoms, and has launched a public information campaign to communicate these messages to the affected communities. If the FDA or state governments promulgate rules which prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements), the financial condition and operating results of the Company could suffer. |
In March 2003, two members of the California Assembly introduced a non-binding resolution calling on FDA to ban condoms containing N-9. The proposed resolution was not brought to a vote since California could not legally ban an FDA approved medical device from marketing. Instead, the proposed resolution was announced at a public press release and retailers were asked voluntarily not to stock any condom containing N-9. The Company had previously supplied the Assemblymen and the Assembly Speaker with information explaining why a ban would be inappropriate and outlining the interim labeling revisions and public information efforts the Company has implemented. While the resolution cannot be voted upon and passed and cannot be legally binding, making it public (as was done here) could impair public perception of the product with resultant impairment of operating results of the Company.
c. | The Company has commitments to acquire approximately $2.5 million of raw material and packaging supplies from its vendors. The packaging supplies are either in a converted or non-converted status. This enables the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer orders/requirements. |
d. | The Company has a guarantee with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for a performance based obligation for estimated environmental remediation costs at its Cranbury, New Jersey facility. |
e. | The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operation. |

7. Reorganization Reserve
As of September 28, 2001, the date of the acquisition of the Carter-Wallace Consumer Business (the Predecessor), the Company started to implement a plan to reorganize the operation of the acquired consumer business. The main components of the plan included rationalizing facilities for which the Company had incurred lease termination costs, environmental remediation costs and work force rationalization costs. The plan was finalized in 2002 and the Company substantially completed the plan in 2003 except for certain long-term contractual obligations related to benefits for certain former executives of Carter-Wallace, Inc. and certain environmental remediation activities.
The Company established an accrual for severance to reflect the purchase of various services from C&D in lieu of obtaining such services through continued employment of certain personnel by the Company. The accrued severance is for identified employees from various areas including executives, administrative support and corporate functions (finance, human resources, legal, MIS, R&D, logistics, marketing, sales and purchasing).
The following table summarizes the activity in the Companys reorganization accruals (in thousands):

8. Assets Held for Sale
In July 2002, the Company met the criteria to classify its Cranbury, New Jersey facility as assets held for sale. At December 31, 2001, the net book value of the Cranbury property and facilities was $43 million based on regional market prices for such property when used for a similar purpose, as determined by an independent appraisal at the time of acquisition. During the third quarter of 2002, however, independent real estate consultants advised the Company that the property would likely have to be sold to land developers who would use it for purposes other than manufacturing, for which the fair value is significantly less. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation recorded for the property to the fair value for developmental property ($20 million). Upon further review, the Company decided to retain the research and development building of the facility for continued use. The fair value of the research building is $5.4 million which was reclassified to property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2002.
In the second quarter of 2003, during negotiations with a potential buyer for the remaining land (other than that related to the research facilities), the buyer raised new issues regarding environmental remediation costs to be incurred by the Company prior to the sale, and the portion of the parcel that could actually be developed. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million in its statement of income for the second quarter of 2003, after the conclusion of the allocation period, because it became apparent from status of the negotiations in the second quarter of 2003 that the carrying value of the land (approximately $14.6 million at that time) would not be fully realized. In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company entered into a contract to sell the remaining land available for development (and demolish the remaining buildings at the buyers expense), subject to obtaining environmental and other regulatory approvals. In the course of obtaining such approvals the Company discovered additional groundwater contamination and although the cost to remediate will be immaterial the Company does not expect to be able to complete the remediation and obtain approvals in the time frames as agreed to in the contract. As a result, the Company is currently in negotiation with the buyer to determine a resolution. It is possible that the buyer may terminate the contract and the Company will need to put the property back on the market. Notwithstanding this possibility, the value expected to be received for all land at the Cranbury, NJ location (other than that related to the research facilities), net of costs to sell, is approximately $11.5 million.

9. Discontinued Operations
At the end of December 2002, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Italian operations. On February 20, 2003, the sale was completed with proceeds of $22.6 million. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded an after-tax gain on the sale of these operations of approximately $1.9 million. As part of this transaction, the Company recorded a $0.5 million guarantee reserve which was the estimated fair value of the contractual indemnification obligation of the Company to the buyer of the Italian operations. In June 2003, the Company signed an agreement which effectively reduced the selling price by requiring the payment of 0.1 million Euros by the Company to the buyer in the third quarter of 2003 in return for a release from any indemnification obligations that might arise with respect to certain tax matters under the definitive sales agreement. Upon payment of the 0.1 million Euros the guarantee reserve was reduced accordingly. Exposure under such indemnification obligation is capped at 1.5 million Euros, which is approximately $1.8 million at April 2, 2004.
For the three months ended March 28, 2003, net sales from the Italian operations was $10.0 million and income from discontinued operations was $0.3 million (net of taxes of $0.3 million). The proceeds were used to pay down the term loan debt and costs associated with the divestiture.
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as amended in December 2003 by FIN No. 46R. FIN No. 46 sets forth criteria to be used in determining whether an investment in a variable interest entity (VIE) should be consolidated and is based on the general premise that companies that control another entity through interests other than voting interests should consolidate the controlled entity. FIN No. 46 would require the immediate consolidation of specified VIEs created after January 31, 2003. For specified VIEs created before February 1, 2003, FIN No. 46 would require consolidation in interim or annual financial statements issued for periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company adopted FIN No. 46R and determined that it would not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of SFAS No. 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106. This Statement retained the disclosure requirements as originally included in SFAS No. 132 and contained additional disclosure requirements. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 11 to its financial statements.
In January 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 106-1 Accounting and Disclosure Requirements to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act). The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The FSP permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Act. The Company does not believe that the effects of the Act apply to its postretirement health care plans and it will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The adjustments are described in the accompanying footnotes. The pro forma statements should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated on the dates indicated and do not purport to indicate balance sheet data or results of operations as of any future date or any future period.
The total cost of the Armkel transaction will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the time the transaction was consummated. The excess of the purchase price over the historical basis of the net assets acquired has been allocated in the accompanying pro forma financial information based upon management estimates. An appraisal of the net assets acquired is in process. Fixed assets and intangible assets are being valued at historic amounts until the appraisal is completed. The actual allocation of the purchase price and the resulting effect on income from operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Companys historical financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 2, 2004 and in conjunction with Armkels historical financial statements and notes thereto included herein.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands)
a) | For the purposes of these pro forma consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that the value of the total purchase consideration for Kelsos interest in Armkel, LLC (including fees and the Equity Appreciation Rights (EAR) Plan) was approximately $257 million (see note 19 to Armkels audited financial statements for a description of the EAR Plan). |
The following is a summary of the calculation of the purchase price, as described above, as well as the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired:
Purchase of Kelsos interest in Armkel, LLC |
$ | 253,650 | ||
Equity Appreciation Rights Plan (EAR) |
2,248 | |||
Direct acquisition fees |

256,498 | |||
Less estimated fair value of net assets acquired |
(160,435 | ) | ||
Estimated excess purchase price over net assets acquired |
$ | 96,063 | ||
Kelsos interest in the book value of the net assets acquired as of April 2, 2004 was $152,890. The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $160,435. The following is reconciliation between the two amounts:

(4,712 | ) | ||
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired |
$ | 160,435 | ||
b) | To record incremental borrowing and cash used to finance the transaction. |
The acquisition was funded using available cash and by obtaining new Tranche A and B Term Loans through an amendment to the Companys existing credit agreement. In connection with the amendment, the Company, among other things, was provided with a new Tranche A Term Loan in the amount of $100 million, and a new Tranche B Term Loan in the amount of $440 million, which were used to replace the existing Tranche B Term Loan of approximately $194 million, to replace Armkels Tranche A and B Term Loans of approximately $136 million and to provide $210 million to fund a portion of the purchase price for the transaction. The new Tranche B Term Loans have essentially the same terms as the replaced loans, but with more favorable interest rate provisions.
