Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)



1.
Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business
Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” which reference shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. and all of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter healthcare, personal care and household cleaning brands to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and club stores primarily in the United States, Canada and certain international markets.  Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. is a holding company with no assets or operations and is also the parent guarantor of the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated notes more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.  Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2009.  This financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.  As discussed below, the Company’s most significant estimates include those made in connection with the valuation of intangible assets, sales returns and allowances, trade promotional allowances and inventory obsolescence.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held by a large regional bank with headquarters in California.  The Company does not believe that, as a result of this concentration, it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Accounts Receivable
The Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon historical collection experience and expected collectibility of the accounts receivable.  In an effort to reduce credit risk, the Company (i) has established credit limits for all of its customer relationships, (ii) performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition, (iii) monitors the payment history and aging of customers’ receivables, and (iv) monitors open orders against an individual customer’s outstanding receivable balance.

-6-

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or fair value, where cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method.  The Company provides an allowance for slow moving and obsolete inventory, whereby it reduces inventories for the diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value.  Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new product introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
   
 
Years
Machinery
5
Computer equipment
3
Furniture and fixtures
7
Leasehold improvements
5

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
 
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations is classified as goodwill.  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company does not amortize goodwill, but performs impairment tests of the carrying value at least annually.  The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the “brand” level which is one level below the operating segment level.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, which are composed primarily of trademarks, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.  For intangible assets with finite lives, amortization is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five to 30 years.

Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, while intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Deferred Financing Costs
The Company has incurred debt origination costs in connection with the issuance of long-term debt.  These costs are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition,” when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the product has been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  The Company has determined that the transfer of risk of loss generally occurs when product is received by the customer and, accordingly, recognizes revenue at that time.  Provision is made for estimated discounts related to
 
-7-

customer payment terms and estimated product returns at the time of sale based on the Company’s historical experience.

As is customary in the consumer products industry, t he Company participates in the promotional programs of its customers to enhance the sale of its products.   The cost of these promotional programs varies based on the actual number of units sold during a finite period of time .   The Company estimates the cost of such promotional programs at their inception based on historical experience and current market conditions and reduces sales by such estimates .   These promotional programs consist of direct to consumer incentives such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to the Company’s customers, such as slotting fees and cooperative advertising.  Estimates of the costs of these promotional programs are based on (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel.  At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.

Due to the nature of the consumer products industry, the Company is required to estimate future product returns.  Accordingly, the Company records an estimate of product returns concurrent with recording sales which is made after analyzing (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of the Company’s product offerings, and (vi) the impact of changes in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

Costs of Sales
Costs of sales include product costs, warehousing costs, inbound and outbound shipping costs, and handling and storage costs.  Shipping, warehousing and handling costs were $5.5 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.  Slotting fees associated with products are recognized as a reduction of sales.  Under slotting arrangements, the retailers allow the Company’s products to be placed on the stores’ shelves in exchange for such fees.  Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB, Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement No. 123(R)”).   Statement No. 123(R) requires the Company to measure the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity award.  Compensation expense is to be recognized over the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period.  The Company recorded stock-based compensation charges of $629,000 and $460,000 during the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement No. 109”) and FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”) .  Pursuant to Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties.  FIN 48 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities.  The adoption of FIN 48, effective April 1, 2007, did not
 
-8-

result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or adjustment to any of the components of assets, liabilities or equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company is subject to taxation in the US, various state and foreign jurisdictions.  The Company remains subject to examination by tax authorities for years after 2003.

The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative Instruments
FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended (“Statement No. 133”), requires companies to recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship.  For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

The Company has designated its derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges because they hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to interest rate risk.  For these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.  Cash flows from these instruments are classified as operating activities.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Potential common shares, composed of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights and unvested restricted shares, are included in the earnings per share calculation to the extent that they are dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable at both June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The carrying value of long-term debt at both June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 approximates fair value based on interest rates for instruments with similar terms and maturities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“Statement No. 161”) that requires a company with derivative instruments to disclose information to enable users of the financial statements to understand (i) how and why the company uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Accordingly, Statement No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. Statement No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The implementation of Statement No. 161 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force 07-01, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF 07-01”).  EITF 07-01 provides guidance for determining if a collaborative arrangement

exists and establishes procedures for reporting revenues and costs generated from transactions with third parties, as well as between the parties within the collaborative arrangement, and provides guidance for financial statement disclosures of collaborative arrangements.  EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods where collaborative arrangements existed as of the effective date.  The Company currently is assessing the impact of EITF 07-01 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“Statement No. 141(R)”) to improve consistency and comparability in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations.  Accordingly, Statement 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to (i) recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, (ii) establishes acquisition-date fair value as the amount to be ascribed to the acquired assets and liabilities and (iii) requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature, as well as the financial aspects of the business combination.  Statement 141(R) is effective for business combinations consummated by the Company on or after April 1, 2009.  The impact to the Company of adopting this standard will depend on the nature, terms and size of any business combinations completed after the effective date.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -   Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“ Statement No. 159”).  Statement   No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  The implementation of Statement No. 159, effective April 1, 2008, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“Statement No. 157”) to address inconsistencies in the definition and determination of fair value pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Statement No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in an effort to increase comparability related to the recognition of market-based assets and liabilities and their impact on earnings.  Statement No. 157 is effective for the Company’s interim financial statements issued after April 1, 2008.  However, on November 14, 2007, the FASB deferred the effective date of Statement No. 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.  The implementation of Statement No. 157, effective April 1, 2008, did not have a material effect on financial assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as fair value is based on readily available market prices.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the application of Statement No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements as it relates to the non-financial assets and liabilities.

Management has reviewed and continues to monitor the actions of the various financial and regulatory reporting agencies and is currently not aware of any other pronouncement that could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

As deemed appropriate, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates associated with its long-term debt obligations.  While the Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, all of these derivatives are over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets.  The notional, or contractual, amount of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is used to measure the amount of interest to be paid or received and does not represent an exposure to credit risk.  The Company is accounting for the interest rate cap and swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In March 2005, the Company purchased interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $180.0 million the terms of which are as follows:

May 30, 2007
  50.0       3.75  
May 30, 2008

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effective March 26, 2008, in the notional amount of $175.0 million, decreasing to $125.0 million at March 26, 2009 to replace and supplement an interest rate cap agreement that expired on May 30, 2008.  The Company has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 2.83% while receiving a variable rate based on LIBOR.  The agreement terminates on March 26, 2010.

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, for all financial instruments accounted for at fair value.  Statement No. 157 established a new framework for measuring fair value and provides for expanded disclosures.  Accordingly, Statement No. 157 requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market assuming an orderly transaction between market participants.  Statement No. 157 established market (observable inputs) as the preferred source of fair value to be followed by the Company’s assumptions of fair value based on hypothetical transactions (unobservable inputs) in the absence of observable market inputs.
 
Based upon the above, the following fair value hierarchy was created:
               
  Level 1 --  Quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets,
     
 
Level 2
--
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, as well as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not considered active, and

Unobservable inputs developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions reflective of those that would be utilized by a market participant.

At June 30, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swap of $1.1 million was included in other assets, while at March 31, 2008, the fair value of $1.5 million was included in other current liabilities.  The determination of fair value is based on closing prices from liquid over-the-counters markets.

Stockholders’ Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 250.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Directors may direct the issuance of the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and determine preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof.

Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends.  No dividends have been declared or paid on the Company’s common stock through June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, 309,000 shares of restricted stock issued to management and employees, subject only to time-vesting, were unvested and excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share; however, such shares were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.  Additionally, 567,000 shares of restricted stock granted to management and employees, as well as 15,000 stock appreciation rights have been excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share since vesting of such shares is subject to contingencies.  Lastly, at June 30, 2008, there were options to purchase 667,000 shares of common stock outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

At June 30, 2007, 446,000 shares of restricted stock issued to management and employees, subject only to time-vesting, were unvested and excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share; however, such shares were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.  Additionally, 382,000 shares of restricted stock granted to management and employees, as well as 16,000 stock appreciation rights have been excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share since vesting of such shares is subject to contingencies.  Lastly, at June 30, 2007, there were options to purchase 255,000 shares of common stock outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) which provides for the grant, to a maximum of 5.0 million shares, of stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and other equity-based awards.  Directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing services for the Company, are eligible for grants under the Plan.  The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded stock-based compensation costs and related tax benefits of $629,000 and $238,000, respectively, while during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded stock-based compensation costs and related tax benefits of $460,000 and $175,000, respectively.
 
Restricted Shares
A summary of the Company’s restricted shares granted under the Plan is presented below:

Restricted shares granted under the Plan generally vest in 3 years, contingent on attainment of Company performance goals, including both revenue and earnings, or time vesting, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Certain restricted share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control.  The fair value of nonvested restricted shares is determined as the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day preceding the grant date.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted shares granted during the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $10.91 and $12.52, respectively.

Options
The Plan provides that the exercise price of the option granted shall be no less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted.  Options granted have a term of no greater than 10 years from the date of grant and vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the time the option is granted, generally over a 3 year period.  Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes Model”) that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and other factors, including the historical volatilities of comparable companies.  The Company uses appropriate historical data, as well as current data, to estimate option exercise and employee termination behaviors.  Employees that are expected to exhibit similar exercise or termination behaviors are grouped together for the purposes of valuation.  The expected terms of the options granted are derived from management’s estimates and information derived from the public filings of companies similar to the Company and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate represents the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of the granted option.  The weighted-average exercise price of the options granted during the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $10.91 and $12.86, respectively.

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARS”)
During July 2006, the Board of Directors granted SARS to a group of selected executives; however, there were no SARS granted subsequent thereto.  The terms of the SARS provide that on the vesting date, the executive will receive the excess of the market price of the stock award over the market price of the stock award on the date of issuance.  The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may settle the Company’s obligation to the executive in shares of the Company’s common stock, cash, other securities of the Company or any combination thereof.

The Plan provides that the issuance price of a SAR shall be no less than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date the SAR is granted.  SARS may be granted with a term of no greater than 10 years from the date of grant and will vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the time the SAR is granted, generally 3 to 5 years.  The fair value of each SAR award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Model.

vest.  The Company expects to recognize such costs over the next 3.0 years.  However, certain of the restricted shares vest upon the attainment of Company performance goals and if such goals are not met, no compensation costs would ultimately be recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed.  The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.  There were no options exercised during the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007; hence, there were no tax benefits realized during these periods.  At June 30, 2008, there were 3.5 million shares available for issuance under the Plan.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in the Company’s quarterly financial statements based on the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate.  The effective tax rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 37.9% and 38.0%, respectively.

At June 30, 2008, Medtech Products Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2.4 million which may be used to offset future taxable income of the consolidated group and which begins to expire in 2020.  The net operating loss carryforward is subject to an annual limitation as to usage under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 of approximately $240,000.


Commitments and Contingencies

The legal proceedings in which we are involved have been disclosed previously in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.  There have been no material developments in our pending legal proceedings since March 31, 2008.
 
Securities Class Action Litigation
The Company and certain of its officers and directors are defendants in a consolidated securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Consolidated Action”).  The first of the six consolidated cases was filed on August 3, 2005.  Plaintiffs purport to represent a class of stockholders of the Company who purchased shares between February 9, 2005 through November 15, 2005.  Plaintiffs also name as defendants the underwriters in the Company’s initial public offering and a private equity fund that was a selling stockholder in the offering.  The District Court has appointed a Lead Plaintiff.  On December 23, 2005, the Lead Plaintiff filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint, which asserted claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Lead Plaintiff generally alleged that the Company issued a series of materially false and misleading statements in connection with its initial public offering and thereafter in regard to the following areas: the accounting issues described in the Company’s press release issued on or about November 15, 2005; and the alleged failure to disclose that demand for certain of the Company’s products was declining and that the Company was planning to withdraw several products from the market.  Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages.  The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint in February 2006.  On July 10, 2006, the Court dismissed all claims against the Company and the individual defendants arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On June 1, 2007, a hearing before the Court was held regarding Plaintiffs’ pending motion for class certification in the Consolidated Action.  On September 4, 2007, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an Order certifying a class consisting of all persons who purchased the common stock of the Company pursuant to, or traceable to, the Company’s initial public offering on or about February 9, 2005 through November 15, 2005 and were damaged thereby.

On January 8, 2008, the parties to the action engaged in mediation to explore the terms of a potential settlement of the pending litigation; however, no settlement agreement was reached during mediation.  While discovery in the action has commenced and is continuing, the Company’s management continues to believe that the remaining claims in the case are legally deficient and that it has meritorious defenses to the claims that remain.  The

Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims remaining in the case; however, the Company cannot, at this time, reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any.

DenTek Litigation
In April 2007, the Company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York against DenTek Oral Care, Inc. (“DenTek”) alleging (i) infringement of intellectual property associated with The Doctor’s ®   NightGuard TM d e ntal  protector which is used for the protection of teeth from nighttime teeth grinding; and (ii) the violation of unfair competition and consumer protection laws.  On October 4, 2007, the Company filed a Second Amended Complaint in which it named Kelly M. Kaplan, Raymond Duane and C.D.S. Associates, Inc. as additional defendants in the action against DenTek and added other claims to the previously filed complaint.  Ms. Kaplan and Mr. Duane were formerly employed by the Company and C.D.S. Associates, Inc. is a corporation controlled by Mr. Duane.  In the Second Amended Complaint, the Company has alleged patent, trademark and copyright infringement, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, violation of New York’s Consumer Protection Act, breach of contract, tortuous interference with contractual and business relations, civil conspiracy and trade secret misappropriation.  On October 19, 2007, the Company filed a motion for preliminary injunction with the Court in which the Company has asked the Court to enjoin the defendants from (i) continuing to improperly use the Company’s trade secrets; (ii) continuing to breach any contractual agreements with the Company; and (iii) marketing and selling any dental protector products or other products in which Ray Duane or Kelly Kaplan has had any involvement or provided any assistance to DenTek.  A hearing date for the motion for preliminary injunction has not yet been set by the Court.  Discovery requests have been served by the parties and discovery is ongoing.

In November 2007, the defendants in the action each filed a motion to dismiss which is pending before the Court.  The Company has filed responses to the motions to dismiss and is awaiting a decision by the Court regarding such motions.  The Court has ordered the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction to be held in abeyance pending a determination of the motions to dismiss.

In addition to the matters described above, the Company is involved from time to time in other routine legal matters and other claims incidental to its business.  The Company reviews outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess probability and amount of potential loss.  These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted.  The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.  In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement).  The Company believes the resolution of routine matters and other incidental claims, taking into account reserves and insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results from operations or cash flows.

Lease Commitments
The Company has operating leases for office facilities and equipment in New York, New Jersey and Wyoming, which expire at various dates through 2014.

Concentrations of Risk

The Company’s sales are concentrated in the areas of over-the-counter healthcare, household cleaning and personal care products.  The Company sells its products to mass merchandisers, food and drug accounts, and dollar and club stores.  During the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 59.4% and 56.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total sales were derived from its four major brands.  During the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 27.1% and 24.9%, respectively, of the Company’s sales were made to one customer.  At June 30, 2008, approximately 22.1% of accounts receivable were owed by the same customer.

The Company manages product distribution in the continental United States through a main distribution center in St. Louis, Missouri.  A serious disruption, such as a flood or fire, to the main distribution center could damage the Company’s inventories and could materially impair the Company’s ability to distribute its products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost.  The Company could incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times associated with the distribution of its products to its customers during the time that it takes the Company to reopen or replace its distribution center.  As a result, any such disruption could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s sales and profitability.

The Company has relationships with over 40 third-party manufacturers.  Of those, the top 10 manufacturers produced items that accounted for approximately 80% of the Company’s gross sales during the three month period ended June 30, 2008.  The Company does not have long-term contracts with 4 of these manufacturers and certain manufacturers of various smaller brands, which collectively, represented approximately 23.0% of the Company’s gross sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The lack of manufacturing agreements for these products exposes the Company to the risk that a manufacturer could stop producing the Company’s products at any time, for any reason or fail to provide the Company with the level of products the Company needs to meet its customers’ demands.  Without adequate supplies of merchandise to sell to the Company’s customers, sales would decrease materially and the Company’s business would suffer.  In addition, the Company’s manufacturers could impose price increases that the Company is unable to pass through to its customers.  Such a price increase could adversely affect a product’s gross profit and ultimately the Company’s profitability.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.  This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties.  Future results could differ materially from the discussion that follows for many reasons, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, as well as those described in future reports filed with the SEC.  See also “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 37 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

General
We are engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of brand name over-the-counter healthcare, household cleaning and personal care products to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and club stores primarily in the United States and Canada.  We operate in niche segments of these categories where we can use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team as a competitive advantage to grow our presence in these categories and, as a result, grow our sales and profits.

We have grown our brand portfolio by acquiring strong and well-recognized brands from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies, as well as other brands from smaller private companies.  While the brands we have purchased from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies have long histories of support and brand development, we believe that at the time we acquired them they were considered “non-core” by their previous owners and did not benefit from the focus of senior level management or strong marketing support.  We believe that the brands we have purchased from smaller private companies have been constrained by the limited resources of their prior owners.  After acquiring a brand, we seek to increase its sales, market share and distribution in both existing and new channels.  We pursue this growth through increased spending on advertising and promotion, new marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations and innovative new products.

Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 were $73.5 million, a decrease of $5.1 million, or 6.5%, versus the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  Revenues decreased across all reporting segments during the period.  Revenues from customers outside of the United States, which represent 11.5% of total revenues, also decreased 6.5% in 2008 versus the comparable period in 2007.  The decrease in international revenues is primarily attributed to our actions, initiated in June 2007, to eliminate shipments to specific customers outside North America that were diverting product back to the US market.
-24-

Over-the-Counter Healthcare Segment
Revenues of the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment decreased $3.2 million, or 7.5%, during 2008 versus 2007.  Revenue increases for Murine, Clear eyes, New Skin, Chloraseptic, as well as the initial shipments of the new Allergen Block products, marketed under the Chloraseptic and Little Allergies trademarks were more than offset by revenue decreases on the wart care brands, Little Remedies and The Doctor’s ® brands.  Murine’s revenue increase was primarily due to increased sales of Murine TM Earigate ® which was launched in the latter part of the same period last year.  Clear eyes revenue increased as a result of unit volume increases in consumption and a price increase taken in March 2008.  New Skin revenue increased primarily as a result of new distribution while Chloraseptic’s revenue increase was driven primarily by customer replenishment orders as a result of the last year’s late developing cough/cold season.  Allergen Block is a new innovative, non-medicated allergy product targeted toward allergy sufferers looking for an alternative to medicated products.  Revenues of the wart care brands, Compound W and Wartner, decreased primarily due to a price reduction taken on the cryogenic products.  This pricing reduction, along with a down-sizing of Compound W Freeze-off, was in response to improving the value proposition to consumers and consistent with price reductions taken by a major competitor in the category.  Little Remedies’ revenues were adversely impacted by the voluntary withdrawal of two medicated pediatric cough and cold products in October 2007.  Increased competition in the bruxism category resulted in lower sales of The Doctor’s® NightGuard TM dental protector.
 
Household Cleaning Segment
Revenues of the Household Cleaning segment decreased $865,000, or 2.9%, during 2008 versus 2007.  Revenues of the Comet® brand increased during the period primarily as a result of Comet Mildew Spray Gel.  Comet’s revenue increase was partially offset by lower revenues for the other two brands in this segment – Spic and Span and Chore Boy.  The decline in Spic and Span’s revenue reflected a decline in consumer consumption while Chore Boy sales declined as a result of weaker consumption and lower shipments to small grocery wholesale accounts.

Personal Care Segment
Revenues of the Personal Care segment declined $1.0 million, or 16.4%, during 2008 versus 2007.  All major brands in this segment experienced revenue declines during the period.  The decrease in revenue of Cutex®, Prell and Denorex® was in line with consumption.

Gross profit for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 decreased $2.0 million, or 4.9%, versus the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  As a percent of total revenue, gross profit increased from 52.5% in 2007 to 53.4% in 2008.  The increase in gross profit as a percent of revenues was primarily the result of favorable product mix, price increases taken on select items and the benefits of our cost reduction program started last year, partially offset by an increase in promotional allowances.

Over-the-Counter Healthcare Segment
Gross profit for the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment decreased $1.0 million, or 3.7%, during 2008 versus 2007.  As a percent of Over-the-Counter revenue, gross profit increased from 63.7% during 2007 to 66.3% during 2008.  The increase in gross profit as a percent of revenues was the result of favorable product mix toward higher gross margin brands, selling price increases implemented at the end of March 2008 and cost reductions.  Compound W Freeze-off experienced the most significant cost savings as a result of the migration of production to a new supplier in early 2008 .

-25-

Household Cleaning Segment
Gross profit for the Household Cleaning segment decreased by $395,000, or 3.4%, during 2008 versus 2007.   As a percent of household cleaning revenue, gross profit decreased from 38.5% during 2007 to 38.2% during 2008. The slight decrease in gross profit percentage was a result of higher product costs related to Spic and Span.

Personal Care Segment
Gross profit for the Personal Care segment decreased $630,000, or 22.9%, during 2008 versus 2007.  As a percent of personal care revenue, gross profit decreased from 43.7% during 2007 to 40.4% during 2008.  The decrease in gross profit percentage was the result of modest increase in promotional allowances and increased inventory obsolescence costs related to Cutex.

Contribution margin, defined as gross profit less advertising and promotional expenses, for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 decreased $1.6 million, or 4.7%, versus the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The contribution margin decrease was the result of the changes in sales and gross profit as previously discussed, partially offset by a $467,000, or a 6.0%, decrease in advertising and promotional spending.  The decreased advertising and promotional spending was primarily attributable to decreases in spending for the Over-the-Counter Healthcare and Personal Care segments, partially offset by an increase in support in the Household Cleaning segment.
 
Over-the-Counter Healthcare Segment
Contribution margin for the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment decreased $158,000, or 0.7%, during 2008 versus 2007.  The contribution margin decrease was the result of the decrease in sales and gross profit as previously discussed, partially offset with a decrease in advertising and promotional of $800,000, or 16.8%.  An increase in television media support behind Murine Earigate ® ear wax remover was offset with decreases in support behind Clear eyes eye care products, The Doctor’s ® NightGuard TM dental protector and Compound W wart remover.

Household Cleaning Segment
Contribution margin for the Household Cleaning segment decreased $837,000, or 8.5%, during 2008 versus 2007.  The contribution margin decrease was the result of the decrease in sales and gross profit as previously discussed, and an increase in advertising and promotional spending of $400,000 or 27.2%.  The A&P increase was the result of increased television media support behind Comet Mildew SprayGel.

Personal Care Segment
Contribution margin for the Personal Care segment decreased $565,000, or 22.8%, during 2008 versus 2007.  The contribution margin decrease was primarily the result of the sales and gross profit decrease previously discussed slightly offset by a modest decrease in advertising and promotional expenses.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $8.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 versus $7.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The increase in G&A is primarily related to an increase in long-term stock-based compensation.
 
-26-

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was essentially flat at $2.8 million for both the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $8.7 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 versus $9.7 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The reduction in interest expense was primarily the result of a lower level of indebtedness outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility.  The average cost of funds increased from 8.5% for 2007 to 8.6% for 2008 while the average indebtedness decreased from $455.4 million during 2007 to $403.7 million during 2008.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was $4.7 million versus $5.1 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The effective income tax rates were 37.9% and 38.0% for 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity
We have financed and expect to continue to finance our operations with a combination of borrowings and funds generated from operations.  Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, debt service, brand acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $8.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The $7.0 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of a decrease in the components of working capital caused primarily by a $5.9 million decrease in accounts receivable at June 30, 2008 versus March 31, 2008, compared to a $1.9 million increase in accounts receivable at June 30, 2007 versus March 31, 2007.

Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $61,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $111,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The net cash used for investing activities during both periods was used for the acquisition of machinery, computers and office equipment.

Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $15.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $15.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company repaid $14.1 million of the Tranche B Term Loan Facility in excess of required amortization payments with cash generated from operations.  This reduced our outstanding indebtedness to $396.2 million from $411.2 million at March 31, 2008.

The Company’s cash flow from operations is normally expected to exceed net income due to the substantial non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization of intangibles, increases in deferred income tax liabilities resulting from differences in the amortization of intangible assets and goodwill for income tax and financial reporting purposes, the amortization of certain deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation.

Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, we had an aggregate of $396.2 million of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of the following:

·
$270.2 million of borrowings under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility, and

·
$126.0 million of 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012.

All loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates, based on either the prime rate, or at our option, the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin.  At June 30, 2008, an aggregate of $270.2 million was outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 6.89%.

As deemed appropriate, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates associated with its long-term debt obligations.  While the Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, all of these derivatives are straightforward over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets.  The notional, or contractual, amount of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is used to measure the amount of interest to be paid or received and does not represent an exposure to credit risk.  The Company accounts for these financial instruments as cash flow hedges.

In March 2005, the Company purchased interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $180.0 million the terms of which are as follows:

In February 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in the notional amount of $175.0 million, decreasing to $125.0 million at March 26, 2009 to replace and supplement an interest rate cap agreement that expired on May 30, 2008.  The Company has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 2.83% while receiving a variable rate based on LIBOR.  The agreement terminates on March 26, 2010.  The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is included in either other assets or current liabilities at the balance sheet date.  At June 30, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swap of $1.1 million was included in other assets, while at March 31, 2008 the fair value of $1.5 million was included in other current liabilities.

At June 30, 2008, we had $60.0 million of borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facility to support our operating activities.  The Revolving Credit Facility matures in April 2009.  We also have $270.2 million outstanding under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility which matures in April 2011.  We must make quarterly principal payments on the Tranche B Term Loan Facility equal to $887,500, representing 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the term loan.  Our ability to borrow an additional $200.0 million under our Senior Credit Facility under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility expired during the three month period ended June 30, 2008.  Management intends to replace these credit facilities during the period ending March 31, 2009.

The Senior Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, including provisions that require us to maintain certain leverage ratios, interest coverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios.  The Senior Credit Facility, as well as the Indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes, contain provisions that accelerate our indebtedness on certain changes in control and restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, payment of dividends and other specified payments, repurchasing the Company’s equity securities in the public markets, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates.  Specifically, we must:

·
Have a leverage ratio of less than 4.5 to 1.0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, decreasing
 
-28-

  over time to 3.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2010, and remaining level thereafter,
   
·
Have an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, increasing over time to 3.25 to 1.0 for the quarter ending March 31, 2010, and remaining level thereafter, and

·
Have a fixed charge coverage ratio of greater than 1.5 to 1.0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, and for each quarter thereafter until the quarter ending March 31, 2011.

At June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with the applicable financial and restrictive covenants under the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes.
 
Our principal sources of funds are anticipated to be cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.  We believe that these funds will provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources for us to meet our current and future financial obligations, as well as to provide funds for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs through June 30, 2009.  While management intends to replace these credit facilities during the ensuing year, we can give no assurances that financing will be available, or if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to us or on a basis that is not dilutive to our stockholders.

Represents the estimated interest obligations on the outstanding balances of the Revolving Credit Facility, Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Senior Subordinated Notes, together, assuming scheduled principal payments (based on the terms of the loan agreements) were made and assuming a weighted average interest rate of 7.64%.  Estimated interest obligations would be different under different assumptions regarding interest rates or timing of principal payments.  If interest rates on borrowings with variable rates increased by 1%, interest expense would increase approximately $2.7 million in the first year.  However, given the protection afforded by the interest rate swap agreement, the impact of a one percentage point increase would be limited to $1.2 million.

(2)
Purchase obligations consist of legally binding commitments for inventory requirements and marketing and advertising expenditures to be utilized during the normal course of our operations.  Activity costs for molds and equipment to be paid, based solely on a per unit basis without any deadlines for final payment, have been excluded from the table because we are unable to determine the time period over which such activity costs will be paid.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials, fuel, purchased product and overhead may adversely affect our operating results.  Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial condition or results from operations for the periods referred to above, a high rate of inflation in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results from operations.  The recent increase in crude oil prices has had an adverse impact on transportation costs, as well as, certain petroleum based raw materials and packaging material.  Although the Company takes efforts to minimize the impact of inflationary factors, including raising prices to our customers, a high rate of pricing volatility associated with crude oil supplies may continue to have an adverse effect on our operating results.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008. While all significant accounting policies are important to our consolidated financial statements, certain of these policies may be viewed as being critical.  Such policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results from operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses or the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  These estimates are based upon our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different conditions.  The most critical accounting policies are as follows:

Revenue Recognition
We comply with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition,” which states that revenue should be recognized when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the product has been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  We have determined that the transfer of risk of loss generally occurs when product is received by the customer, and, accordingly recognize revenue at that time.  Provision is made for estimated discounts related to customer payment terms and estimated product returns at the time of sale based on our historical experience.

As is customary in the consumer products industry, we participate in the promotional programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products.  The cost of these promotional programs is recorded in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)” as either advertising and promotional expenses or as a reduction of sales.  Such costs vary from period-to-period based on the actual number of units sold during a finite period of time.  We estimate the cost of such promotional programs at their inception based on historical experience and current market conditions and reduce sales by such estimates.  These promotional programs consist of direct to consumer incentives such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as slotting fees and cooperative advertising.  We do not provide incentives to customers for the acquisition of product in excess of normal inventory quantities since such incentives increase the potential for future returns, as well as reduce sales in the subsequent fiscal periods.

Estimates of costs of promotional programs are based on (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel.  At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.  While our promotional expense for the year ended March 31, 2008 was $18.8 million, we participated in 4,800 promotional campaigns, resulting in an average cost of $3,000 per campaign.  Of such amount, only 663 payments were in excess of $5,000.  We believe that the estimation methodologies employed, combined with the nature of the promotional campaigns, makes the likelihood remote that our obligation would be misstated by a material amount.  However, for illustrative purposes, had we underestimated the promotional program rate by
 
-30-

10% for the year ended March 31, 2008, our sales and operating income would have been adversely affected by approximately $1.9 million.  Similarly, had we underestimated the promotional program rate by 10% for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, our sales and operating would have been adversely affected by approximately $545,000.  Net income would have been adversely affected by approximately $1.2 million during the year ended March 31, 2008 and approximately $338,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008.

We also periodically run coupon programs in Sunday newspaper inserts or as on-package instant redeemable coupons.  We utilize a national clearing house to process coupons redeemed by customers.  At the time a coupon is distributed, a provision is made based upon historical redemption rates for that particular product, information provided as a result of the clearing house’s experience with coupons of similar dollar value, the length of time the coupon is valid, and the seasonality of the coupon drop, among other factors.  During the year ended March 31, 2008, we had 29 coupon events.  The amount recorded against revenues and accrued for these events during the year was $2.1 million, of which $1.9 million was redeemed during the year.  During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, we had 7 coupon events.  The amount recorded against revenue and accrued for the events was $301,000, of which $51,000 was redeemed during the period.

Allowances for Product Returns
Due to the nature of the consumer products industry, we are required to estimate future product returns.  Accordingly, we record an estimate of product returns concurrent with the recording of sales.  Such estimates are made after analyzing (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of our product offerings, and (vi) the impact of changes in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

We construct our returns analysis by looking at the previous year’s return history for each brand.  Subsequently, each month, we estimate our current return rate based upon an average of the previous six months’ return rate and review that calculated rate for reasonableness giving consideration to the other factors described above.  Our historical return rate has been relatively stable; for example, for the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, returns represented 4.6%, 3.7% and 3.5%, respectively, of gross sales.  While the returns rate increased 0.9% from 2007 to 2008, such amount exclusive of the voluntary withdrawal from the marketplace of Little Remedies medicated pediatric cough and cold products in October 2007, would have been 4.1%.  At June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the allowance for sales returns was $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

While we utilize the methodology described above to estimate product returns, actual results may differ materially from our estimates, causing our future financial results to be adversely affected.  Among the factors that could cause a material change in the estimated return rate would be significant unexpected returns with respect to a product or products that comprise a significant portion of our revenues in a manner similar to the Little Remedies voluntary withdrawal discussed above.  Based upon the methodology described above and our actual returns’ experience, management believes the likelihood of such an event remains remote.  As noted, over the last three years, our actual product return rate has stayed within a range of 4.6% to 3.5% of gross sales.  An increase of 0.1% in our estimated return rate as a percentage of gross sales would have adversely affected our reported sales and operating income for the year ended March 31, 2008 and the three month period ended June 30, 2008 by approximately $380,000 and $88,000, respectively.  Net income would have been adversely affected by approximately $236,000 and $55,000 for the year ended March 31, 2008 and the three month period ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Allowances for Obsolete and Damaged Inventory
We value our inventory at the lower of cost or market value.  Accordingly, we reduce our inventories for the diminution of value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value.  Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new product introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.

Many of our products are subject to expiration dating.  As a general rule our customers will not accept goods with expiration dating of less than 12 months from the date of delivery.  To monitor this risk, management utilizes a
 
-31-

detailed compilation of inventory with expiration dating between zero and 15 months and reserves for 100% of the cost of any item with expiration dating of 12 months or less.  At June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the allowance for obsolete and slow moving inventory represented 4.1% and 4.6%, respectively, of total inventory.  Inventory obsolescence costs charged to operations were $1.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2008, while for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 the Company recorded a credit of $39,000 due to the discounted sale of certain short-dated inventory.  A 1.0% increase in our allowance for obsolescence at March 31, 2008 would have adversely affected our reported operating income and net income for the year ended March 31, 2008 by approximately $311,000 and $193,000, respectively.  Similarly, a 1.0% increase in our allowance for obsolescence at June 30, 2008 would have adversely affected our reported operating income and net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 by approximately $300,000 and $186,000, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the ordinary course of business, we grant non-interest bearing trade credit to our customers on normal credit terms.  We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable which is based upon our historical collection experience and expected collectibility of the accounts receivable.  In an effort to reduce our credit risk, we (i) establish credit limits for all of our customer relationships, (ii) perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, (iii) monitor the payment history and aging of our customers’ receivables, and (iv) monitor open orders against an individual customer’s outstanding receivable balance.

We establish specific reserves for those accounts which file for bankruptcy, have no payment activity for 180 days or have reported major negative changes to their financial condition.  The allowance for bad debts amounted to 0.1% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008.  Bad debt expense for the year ended March 31, 2008 was $124,000 while during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 the Company recorded bad debt expense of $4,000.

While management believes that it is diligent in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, an unexpected event, such as the bankruptcy filing of a major customer, could have an adverse effect on our future financial results.  A 0.1% increase in our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales for the year ended March 31, 2008 would have resulted in a decrease in reported operating income of approximately $325,000, and a decrease in our reported net income of approximately $202,000.  Similarly, a 0.1% increase in our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 would have resulted in a decrease in reported operating income of approximately $74,000, and a decrease in our reported net income of approximately $46,000.

Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Goodwill and intangible assets amounted to $953.0 million and $955.6 million at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.  At June 30, 2008, goodwill and intangible assets were apportioned among our three operating segments as follows (in thousands):

Personal
Care
   
 
Consolidated

    $ 693,022     $ 243,446     $ 16,503     $ 952,971  
 
Our Clear Eyes, New-Skin, Chloraseptic , Compound W and Wartner brands comprise the majority of the value of the intangible assets within the Over-The-Counter Healthcare segment.  The Comet, Spic and Span and Chore Boy brands comprise substantially all of the intangible asset value within the Household Cleaning segment.
 
-32-

Denorex, Cutex and Prell comprised substantially all of the intangible asset value within the Personal Care segment.

Goodwill and intangible assets comprise substantially all of our assets.  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a purchase business combination.  Intangible assets generally represent our trademarks, brand names and patents.  When we acquire a brand, we are required to make judgments regarding the value assigned to the associated intangible assets, as well as their respective useful lives.  Management considers many factors, both prior to and after, the acquisition of an intangible asset in determining the value, as well as the useful life assigned to each intangible asset that the Company acquires or continues to own and promote.  The most significant factors are:

·   
Brand History
A brand that has been in existence for a long period of time ( e.g., 25, 50 or 100 years) generally warrants a higher valuation and longer life (sometimes indefinite) than a brand that has been in existence for a very short period of time.  A brand that has been in existence for an extended period of time generally has been the subject of considerable investment by its previous owner(s) to support product innovation and advertising and promotion.

·  
Market Position
Consumer products that rank number one or two in their respective market generally have greater name recognition and are known as quality product offerings, which warrant a higher valuation and longer life than products that lag in the marketplace.

·   
Recent and Projected Sales Growth
Recent sales results present a snapshot as to how the brand has performed in the most recent time periods and represent another factor in the determination of brand value.  In addition, projected sales growth provides information about the strength and potential longevity of the brand.  A brand that has both strong current and projected sales generally warrants a higher valuation and a longer life than a brand that has weak or declining sales.  Similarly, consideration is given to the potential investment, in the form of advertising and promotion, which is required to reinvigorate a brand that has fallen from favor.

·   
History of and Potential for Product Extensions
Consideration also is given to the product innovation that has occurred during the brand’s history and the potential for continued product innovation that will determine the brand’s future.  Brands that can be continually enhanced by new product offerings generally warrant a higher valuation and longer life than a brand that has always “followed the leader”.

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as current economic conditions and changing consumer behavior, management prepares a determination of the intangible’s value and useful life based on its analysis of the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“Statement No. 142”).  Under Statement No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but must be tested for impairment at least annually.  Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and must also be tested for impairment.

On an annual basis, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recovered, management performs a review of both the values and useful lives assigned to goodwill and intangible assets and tests for impairment.
 
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
As mentioned above, management performs an annual review, or more frequently if necessary, to ascertain the impact of events and circumstances on the estimated useful lives and carrying values of our trademarks and trade names.  In connection with this analysis, management:
 
-33-

·  
Reviews period-to-period sales and profitability by brand,
·  
Analyzes industry trends and projects brand growth rates,
·  
Prepares annual sales forecasts,
·  
Evaluates advertising effectiveness,
·  
Analyzes gross margins,
·  
Reviews contractual benefits or limitations,
·  
Monitors competitors’ advertising spend and product innovation,
·  
Prepares projections to measure brand viability over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset, and
·  
Considers the regulatory environment, as well as industry litigation.

Should analysis of any of the aforementioned factors warrant a change in the estimated useful life of the intangible asset, management will reduce the estimated useful life and amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.  Management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or trade name and estimate the cash flows over its useful life.  In the event that the long-term projections indicate that the carrying value is in excess of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible assets, management is required to record an impairment charge.  Once that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair value.  The impairment charge is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the intangible asset over fair value as calculated using the discounted cash flow analysis.  Future events, such as competition, technological advances and reductions in advertising support for our trademarks and trade names could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
In a manner similar to finite-lived intangible assets, on an annual basis, or more frequently if necessary, management analyzes current events and circumstances to determine whether the indefinite life classification for a trademark or trade name continues to be valid.  Should circumstance warrant a finite life, the carrying value of the intangible asset would then be amortized prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life.

In connection with this analysis, management also tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the intangible asset to its estimated fair value.  Since quoted market prices are seldom available for trademarks and trade names such as ours, we utilize present value techniques to estimate fair value.  Accordingly, management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or trade name and estimate the cash flows over its useful life.  In performing this analysis, management considers the same types of information as listed above in regards to finite-lived intangible assets.  Once that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair value.  Future events, such as competition, technological advances and reductions in advertising support for our trademarks and trade names could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.

Goodwill
As part of its annual test for impairment of goodwill, management estimates the discounted cash flows of each reporting unit, which is at the brand level, and one level below the operating segment level, to estimate their respective fair values.  In performing this analysis, management considers the same types of information as listed above in regards to finite-lived intangible assets.  In the event that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, management would then be required to allocate the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the unit was acquired in a business combination, thereby revaluing the carrying amount of goodwill.  In a manner similar to indefinite-lived assets, future events, such as competition, technological advances and reductions in advertising support for our trademarks and trade names could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.
 
In estimating the value of trademarks and trade names, as well as goodwill, at March 31, 2008, management applied a discount rate of 9.1%, the Company’s then current weighted-average cost of funds, to the estimated cash flows; however that rate, as well as future cash flows may be influenced by such factors, including (i) changes in interest rates, (ii) rates of inflation, or (iii) sales or contribution margin reductions.  In the event that the carrying
 
-34-

value exceeded the estimated fair value of either intangible assets or goodwill, we would be required to recognize an impairment charge.  Additionally, continued decline of the fair value ascribed to an intangible asset or a reporting unit caused by external factors may require future impairment charges.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2006, we recorded non-cash charges related to the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of the Personal Care segment of $7.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, because the carrying amounts of these “branded” assets exceeded their fair market values primarily as a result of declining sales caused by product competition.  Should the related fair values of goodwill and intangible assets continue to be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, technological advances or reductions in advertising and promotional expenses, the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges.  However, we have not been required to record any additional asset impairment charges since March 2006.

Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement No. 123(R)”) which requires us to measure the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity award.  Compensation expense is to be recognized over the period which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period.  Information utilized in the determination of fair value includes the following:

Type of instrument (i.e.: restricted shares vs. an option, warrant or performance shares),
·  
Strike price of the instrument,
·  
Market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant,
·  
Discount rates,
·  
Duration of the instrument, and
·  
Volatility of the Company’s common stock in the public market.

Additionally, management must estimate the expected attrition rate of the recipients to enable it to estimate the amount of non-cash compensation expense to be recorded in our financial statements.  While management uses diligent analysis to estimate the respective variables, a change in assumptions or market conditions, as well as changes in the anticipated attrition rates, could have a significant impact on the future amounts recorded as non-cash compensation expense.  The Company recorded net non-cash compensation expense of $1.1 million and $655,000 during the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  However, during the year ended March 31, 2008, management was required to reverse previously recorded stock-based compensation costs of $538,000, $394,000 and $166,000 related to the October 2005, July 2006 and May 2007 grants, respectively, as it determined that the Company would not meet the performance goals associated with such grants of restricted stock.  The Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $629,000 and $460,000 during the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss is reasonably estimable.  Contingent losses are often resolved over longer periods of time and involve many factors including:

·  
Rules and regulations promulgated by regulatory agencies,
·  
Sufficiency of the evidence in support of our position,
·  
Anticipated costs to support our position, and
·  
Likelihood of a positive outcome.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“Statement No. 161”) that requires a company with derivative instruments to disclose information to enable users of the financial statements to understand (i) how and why the company uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
 
-35-

accounted for, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Accordingly, Statement No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. Statement No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The implementation of Statement No. 161 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force 07-01, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF 07-01”).  EITF 07-01 provides guidance for determining if a collaborative arrangement exists and establishes procedures for reporting revenues and costs generated from transactions with third parties, as well as between the parties within the collaborative arrangement, and provides guidance for financial statement disclosures of collaborative arrangements.  EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods where collaborative arrangements existed as of the effective date.  The Company currently is assessing the impact of EITF 07-01 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“Statement No. 141(R)”) to improve consistency and comparability in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations.  Accordingly, Statement 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to (i) recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, (ii) establishes acquisition-date fair value as the amount to be ascribed to the acquired assets and liabilities and (iii) requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature, as well as the financial aspects of the business combination.  Statement 141(R) is effective for business combinations consummated by the Company on or after April 1, 2009.  The impact to the Company of adopting this standard will depend on the nature, terms and size of any business combinations completed after the effective date.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -   Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“ Statement No. 159”).  Statement   No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  The implementation of Statement No. 159, effective April 1, 2008, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“Statement No. 157”) to address inconsistencies in the definition and determination of fair value pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Statement No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in an effort to increase comparability related to the recognition of market-based assets and liabilities and their impact on earnings.  Statement No. 157 is effective for the Company’s interim financial statements issued after April 1, 2008.  However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of Statement No. 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.  The implementation of Statement No. 157, effective April 1, 2008, did not have a material effect on financial assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as fair value is based on readily available market prices.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the application of Statement No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements as it relates to the non-financial assets and liabilities.

Management has reviewed and continues to monitor the actions of the various financial and regulatory reporting agencies and is currently not aware of any other pronouncement that could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

·  
General economic conditions affecting our products and their respective markets,

·  
Our ability to increase organic growth via new product introductions or line extensions,

·  
The high level of competition in our industry and markets,

·

·  
Disruptions in our distribution center,

·

·  
Any adverse judgment rendered in any pending litigation or arbitration,

-37-

·  
Our ability to obtain additional financing, and

·  
The restrictions imposed by our Senior Credit Facility and Indenture on our operations.
 
 
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
               
We are exposed to changes in interest rates because our Senior Credit Facility is variable rate debt.  Interest rate changes, therefore, generally do not affect the market value of our senior secured financing, but do impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.  At June 30, 2008, we had variable rate debt of approximately $270.2 million related to our Tranche B term loan.

In an effort to protect the Company from the adverse impact that rising interest rates would have on our variable rate debt, we have entered into various interest rate cap agreements to hedge this exposure.   In March 2005, the Company purchased interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $180.0 million the terms of which are as follows:

Notional
Amount
   
Interest Rate
Cap Percentage
 
Expiration
Date
(In millions)
         
$ 50.0       3.25 %
May 31, 2006
  80.0       3.50  
May 30, 2007
  50.0       3.75  
May 30, 2008

In February 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effective March 26, 2008, in the notional amount of $175.0 million, decreasing to $125.0 million at March 26, 2009 to replace and supplement an interest rate cap agreement that expired on May 30, 2008.  The Company has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 2.83% while receiving a variable rate based on LIBOR.  The agreement terminates on March 26, 2010.

Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have an adverse impact on pre-tax earnings and cash flows for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2009 of approximately $2.7 million.  However, given the protection afforded by the interest rate cap agreements, the impact of a one percentage point increase would be limited to $1.2 million for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2009.  The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was $1.1 million at June 30, 2008.

 
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2008.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The legal proceedings in which we are involved have been disclosed previously in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.  There have been no material developments in our pending legal proceedings since March 31, 2008.  For more information regarding our pending legal proceedings which we deem to be material to the Company, please see the legal proceedings disclosure contained in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in other routine legal matters and other claims incidental to its business.  The Company reviews outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess probability and amount of potential loss.  These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted.  The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.  In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement).  The Company believes the resolution of routine matters and other incidental claims, taking into account reserves and insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results from operations or cash flows.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
                    
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.

***Indicates a portion of this Exhibit that has been omitted and filed separately with the Secretary of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(b)           Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Supplier agrees to exclusively supply Buyer with the Products in accordance with the Product Specifications.

(c)           Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to exclusively purchase the Products from Supplier.

2 .             Forecast and Updates .  On the Base Volume Production Date and prior to each succeeding anniversary of the Base Volume Production Date during the Term (as defined below), Buyer shall submit to Supplier a forecast of quantities of Products that Buyer intends to have delivered during the following calendar year (the “Forecast”).  Buyer shall update the forecast for the following twelve (12) month period on a monthly basis.  Supplier acknowledges and agrees that any Forecast attached hereto or delivered pursuant to this paragraph is non-binding with respect to Buyer.

3.            Inventory Management by Supplier .  Supplier shall institute a Vendor Managed Inventory System that will maintain inventory buffer targets (including minimums and maximums) for each SKU of the Products as mutually agreed by the Parties.  Supplier shall use Buyer’s rolling Forecasts (provided monthly) and the agreed-upon inventory buffer targets (including minimums and maximums) to determine Supplier’s rolling production schedule (provided weekly) of the Products for the following twelve (12) week period (the “Production Schedule”).  Supplier shall submit the Production Schedule to Buyer on a weekly basis based upon the applicable monthly rolling Forecast for future production of the Products.  The first two (2) weeks of each Production Schedule will become binding purchase commitments on Buyer and will constitute a firm written purchase order, unless Buyer responds to a Production Schedule and notifies Supplier otherwise in writing no more than two (2) days after receipt of such Production Schedule from Supplier.  Based on the Production Schedule so established, Supplier will manufacture and deliver the Products to Buyer so as to enable Buyer to maintain the inventory buffer targets at Buyer’s warehouse at any given time.

5.            Responsibility for Labeling .  Buyer shall be responsible for creating the labeling and package design for the Products and for compliance with all Applicable Laws relating to labeling and packaging, except to the extent Buyer has relied on information provided by Supplier as part of Buyer’s compliance efforts.

6.            Shortages/Rejected Goods .
 

***Indicates a portion of this Exhibit that has been omitted and filed separately with the Secretary of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
4

(a)            Shortages .  Buyer shall notify Supplier in writing of any shortage in quantity of any shipment of any Product within forty-five (45) business days after becoming aware of any such shortage.  In the event of such shortage, Supplier shall make up the shortage as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such notice.  If Supplier is rendered
unable for a prolonged and uncured period from supplying any Product, Buyer shall have the right to purchase Products from a third-party manufacturer unless Supplier is able to subcontract such production to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer; provided, however, Buyer shall resume purchasing the Products from Supplier once Supplier is able to resume production of the Products in the quantities required by Buyer.

(b)            Rejected Product .  Buyer may reject a Product if such Product does not conform to the Product Specifications.  In the event of a conflict regarding whether any Product conforms to the Product Specifications, Buyer shall submit a representative number of samples of such Product to an independent laboratory acceptable to Supplier and Buyer for testing.  The fees and expenses of such laboratory testing shall be borne entirely by the Party against whom such laboratory’s findings are made.  In the event that the test results indicate that a Product in question does not conform to the Product Specifications, Supplier shall replace the Product at no additional cost to Buyer and shall pay all additional destruction and/or shipping and transportation costs for said non-conforming Product.

(c)            Capacity Allocation .  In the event Supplier, upon receiving a Forecast, is, or anticipates that it will be, unable to meet such Forecast, either in whole or in part, then Supplier shall give Buyer prompt written notice of such inability or potential inability within ten (10) business days of receipt of such Forecast.  Supplier and Buyer shall meet within ten (10) business days of written notice by Supplier to Buyer to consider alternatives for meeting Buyer’s requirements for Products, including, but not limited to, outsourcing to third-party manufacturers and expanding Supplier’s manufacturing capacity.  Notwithstanding anything to contrary set forth herein, from and after the date on which Supplier notifies Buyer in writing of its inability to manufacture or subcontract the manufacture (to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer) in accordance with a Forecast, Buyer shall have the right to purchase Products from a third-party manufacturer in the amount that Supplier has indicated it is unable or may be unable to manufacture and package or subcontract the manufacturing and packaging thereof (to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer) in such notice.

(d)            Consequential Damages .  In no event will either Party be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages whether foreseeable or not, even if advised of the possibility of such damages; provided, that recovery of the fixed annual Tolling Fee in the amount of $*** for each of the first two Production Years shall not be deemed an incidental or consequential damage.

7.            Permits .  As a condition precedent to the sale of the Product by Supplier to Buyer, (i) Supplier shall obtain at its sole cost all Permits required in connection with the manufacture and

1.            Price .  Prior to the Base Volume Production Date but after the date on which the Facility is able to manufacture and package the Products, Buyer shall purchase the Products from Supplier at a mutually agreed upon price based on good-faith discussions by Supplier and Buyer.  On and after the Base Volume Production Date, the price for each SKU of the Products (the “Price”) shall be as set forth in the form of  Exhibit E , as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, and be comprised of (i) Costed Bill of Materials; (ii) the Tolling Fee; and (iii) the Capital Recovery Amount; provided, however, to the extent Supplier or Buyer is able to negotiate lower unit costs for the raw materials and component packaging needed to manufacture and package the Products, the Price shall be reduced entirely by such unit cost savings (including, without limitation, any applicable rebates, promotions and off-invoice allowances or discounts), except for any discounts Supplier may only obtain from its suppliers for early payment of such suppliers’ invoices.  Buyer and Supplier agree that in the event raw materials and component packaging costs fluctuate, Supplier will provide Buyer with thirty (30) days advance written notice of any change in the raw materials and component packaging costs, which notice will include documentation of such cost changes in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.  The Price shall not include any taxes (except value added taxes if any are enacted) and outbound freight and insurance charges.

2.            Costed Bill of Materials .  The Costed Bill of Materials shall include all allocated pallet costs and inbound freight charges to the Facility.  Supplier shall not mark-up the cost of the raw materials and component packaging costs to Buyer.  If requested by Buyer, Supplier shall provide Buyer with quarterly written reports on the costs of raw materials and packing materials.

3.            Tolling Fee .

(a)            Initial Fixed Annual Tolling Fees .  The aggregate Tolling Fee for each of the first two (2) years commencing on the Base Volume Production Date shall be fixed in the amount of $*** per year.  If the Base Volume in each of Production Years 1 and 2 is not reached, Buyer shall promptly, within thirty (30) days, pay the difference between the fixed annual $*** tolling fee and the actual tolling fees previously paid by Buyer for such year.

(b)            Variable Annual Tolling Fees .

(i)  After the two-year period commencing on the Base Volume Production Date, the Annual Tolling Fee to be paid by Buyer to Supplier will be variable based on pounds of Products actually produced in any Production Year and there will be no minimum or maximum Annual Tolling Fee per Production Year.  The Tolling Fee

 for Production Year 3 shall be calculated by dividing $*** by the actual number of pounds of Product produced by Supplier for Buyer during Production Year 2.

(ii)  For purposes of determining whether the Tolling Fee shall be adjusted for Production Year 3 or any subsequent year thereafter, the Parties shall calculate the percentage change in pounds of Products actually produced on a year over year basis (the “Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced”).  The Parties agree that in order to calculate the Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced at the end of Production Year 1 the Base Volume shall be used as the benchmark for calculating such percentage change for such year.  In subsequent years, the Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced for any Production Year shall be calculated by comparing such Production Year’s actual pounds of Products produced with the prior Production Year’s actual pounds of Products produced as the benchmark.  So long as the aggregate net total of the prior years’ Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced is less than *** percent (***%), the Tolling Fee shall remain the same as in effect from the prior Production Year, except for any Index (as defined below) adjustment permitted hereunder.  If the aggregate net total of each year’s Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced equals or exceeds ***%, the Tolling Fee shall be increased or decreased by ***% for the following Production Year depending upon whether the ***% threshold is reached due to an aggregate decrease or increase, respectively, in the pounds of Products produced over time; provided, that an Index-based adjustment shall also be permitted in accordance with the terms hereof.  For example purposes only, should the Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced in years 1, 2 and 3 equal ***%, ***% and ***%, respectively, the Tolling Fee in year 4 would remain the same as the Tolling Fee in effect during Production Year 3 except for the Index-based adjustment permitted hereunder.  Alternatively, should the Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced in Production Years 1 and 2 equal ***% and ***%, respectively, the Tolling Fee in Production Year 3 would be increased by ***% from the Production Year 2 Tolling Fee as well as the Index-based adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof.  Once the Tolling Fee reset takes place, the revised Tolling Fee shall be set forth in a revised schedule in the form of Exhibit E and shall not be changed, other than for an Index-based adjustment, until the aggregate net total of Annual Percentage Change of Products Produced equals or exceeds ***% again.

(iii)           If the volume of pounds of the Product declines or increases *** percent (***%) or more from the Base Volume during the five-year period commencing on the Base Volume Production Date, Supplier and Buyer shall agree to negotiate in good faith a new Tolling Fee which shall be set forth in a revised schedule agreed to by the Parties.

(c)            Index-based Adjustments to the Tolling Fee .  Beginning in Production Year 3 and for each Production Year thereafter, an adjustment equal to *** (***%) of the percentage

increase or decrease of the Consumer Price Index – Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics (the “Index”), shall be applied to the Tolling Fee.

4.            Capital Recovery Amount .  The Capital Recovery Amount shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of Article 4 hereof.

5.            Price and Payment .  Buyer shall settle invoices within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of invoice by electronic funds transfer.

of no force and effect; provided, however, Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates or any successor-in-interest (via merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) without obtaining the prior consent of Supplier so long as Buyer provides Supplier with a written guarantee of the repayment of the Capital Recovery Amount.  For purposes of this paragraph, any (i) sale of a majority of Supplier’s assets; or (ii) merger, consolidation, recapitalization, stock sale or any similar transaction involving Supplier shall be deemed an assignment of this Agreement requiring the prior written consent of Buyer.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no assignment permitted hereunder (including an assignment by Buyer to any of its Affiliates) shall relieve any such assignor from its duties and obligations set forth herein and such assignor shall remain jointly and fully liable for any breach of this Agreement by its assignee.

7.            Continuing Obligations .  Any and all provisions, promises and warranties contained herein which by their nature or effect are required or intended to be observed, kept or performed after termination or expiration of this Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and remain binding upon and for the benefit of the Parties hereto.

9.              Entire Agreement .  This Agreement and any confidentiality agreement between the Parties hereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings (whether oral or written) between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  No course of dealing or usage of trade shall be used to modify the terms hereof.

10.            Amendment, Modification and Waiver .  No amendment, modification or addendum will be effective unless reduced to a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of both Parties.  No term or provision hereof will be deemed waived and no breach excused unless such waiver or consent will be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Party claimed to have waived or consented.  Failure of either Party hereto to insist upon strict conformance to any term herein in the event of a breach or default shall not be construed as a consent or waiver of that breach or default or any subsequent breach or default of the same or of any other term contained herein or therein.

11.            Third-Party Beneficiaries .  Except as otherwise set forth in Article 11, this Agreement is entered into solely between, and may be enforced only by, Buyer and Supplier, and this Agreement will not be deemed to create any rights in third-parties, including suppliers, customers or subcontractors of a Party, or to create any obligations of a Party to any such third-parties.

12.            Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures .  This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which will constitute an original but all of which together constitute a single document.  Faxed signatures shall have the same legal effect as original signatures.

13.            Equitable Relief .  Both Parties agree that, because breach or threatened breach of any of the terms of Article 7 and 8 of this Agreement by a Party will result in immediate and irreparable injury to the other Party, such other Party shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching Party from any such breach to the fullest extent allowed by Applicable Law.  Any such right of equitable relief granted to the non-breaching Party shall not be deemed to preclude such Party from seeking money damages or any other remedy from the breaching Party and/or its Affiliates and agents in the event of such a breach.

14.            Announcements .  Neither Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld), make any announcement or public statement, or make any other form of public disclosure (including, without limitation, the issuing of a press release) relating to or concerning this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof; provided, however, that any Party may make any announcement or public disclosure required by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws) or the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange on which the securities of such Party or its Affiliates may then be traded.
