Polistina President, Small Appliances Age 47; joined Company in 2010 John R.Wilson Senior Vice President,  Secretary and General Counsel Age 36; joined Company in 2005 Non-GAAP Measurements  Within this annual report, reference is made to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and free cash fl ow. These non-GAAP metrics are reconciled  to their nearest GAAP equivalents within the Company’s Periodic Report on Form 8-K fi led with the SEC on December 6, 2010 within Exhibit 99.1 thereto. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used  by management and frequently used by the fi nancial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since  interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful  measure of a company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining the Company’s debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that  are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. The Company’s management believes that free cash fl ow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the  Company’s ability to service and repay its debt and meet its working capital requirements. Free cash fl ow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for pretax income (loss), net  income (loss), cash provided by (used in) operating activities or other statement of operations or cash fl ow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profi tability  or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash fl ow does not refl ect cash used to service debt and, therefore, does not refl ect funds available for investment or discretionary uses. While  the Company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP fi nancial  results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
