(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

These interim financial statements and the related notes contain the accounts of ATT Holding Co. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) on a condensed consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2009. ATT Holding Co. is a holding company which has no interest, operations or activities other than through its ownership of 100% of Ames True Temper Inc., (“ATT”) and ATT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (''US GAAP’’) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (''SEC’’). Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended July 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending October 2, 2010. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been recorded. All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance that defers the effective date of applying fair value guidance for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company adopted the new guidance during the thirteen week period ended January 2, 2010. The new guidance had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 for further information.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination:

	•		Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree;

	•		Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and

	•		Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.

The Company adopted the new guidance during the thirteen week period ended January 2, 2010. The new guidance had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of the new accounting guidance. The Company adopted the amendment during the thirteen week period ended January 2, 2010. The amendment had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited)

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to require new fair value measurement disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy and clarify disclosures related to level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. The Company adopted the amendment in the thirteen week period ended April 3, 2010. See Note 14 for further information.

To Be Adopted

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to require entities to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it controlling interest in a variable interest entity. In addition, enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity. The Company is required to adopt the amendment in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adoption, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting guidance to require a reporting entity to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation required for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, the amendment includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. The Company is required to adopt the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the requirement for the reconciliation for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adoption, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to require a reporting entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance for disclosures as of the end of a reporting period during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance for disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adoption, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the thirteen week period ended July 3, 2010, the Company reduced its forecast for Dynamic Design branded sales due to a shift in branding strategies by certain customers whereby the mix of sales was less heavily weighted with Dynamic Design branded product. This led the Company to conclude an interim impairment assessment should be performed. The Company concluded the reduction in forecasted branded sales led to a reduction in Dynamic Design’s trade name fair value. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $300 within the U.S. segment. The Company performed the interim impairment test using the relief-from-royalty method. The impairment is included in impairment charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 14 for further information.

The following table reflects the components of intangible assets:


	July 3, 2010				October 3, 2009
	Gross Carrying		Accumulated		Gross Carrying		Accumulated
	Amount		Amortization		Amount		Amortization
Indefinite lived intangible assets:
Trade names	$	47,710	$	—	$	47,879	$	—
Finite lived intangible assets:
Technology (patents)		1,356		1,177		1,356		1,142
Non-compete agreements		—		—		976		965
Customer relationships		11,665		6,934		11,617		6,040

	$	60,731	$	8,111	$	61,828	$	8,147

The cost of other acquired intangible assets, including primarily customer relationships, patents and covenants not to compete is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of 3 to 19 years. Amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2010 and thereafter is as follows:


July 2010 — September 2010	$	299
Fiscal 2011		1,196
Fiscal 2012		1,176
Fiscal 2013		1,161
Fiscal 2014		879
Thereafter		199

	$	4,910

5. Other Noncurrent Assets

Other noncurrent assets as of July 3, 2010 include restricted cash of $1,186 ($1,405 Australian dollars) placed in escrow as part of the agreement to purchase certain assets from West Barrows Mix Pty Ltd. (“Westmix”). See Note 19 for further information.

6. Income Taxes

The Company determines its income tax provision under the effective rate method. This determination includes making an estimate of the Company’s current income tax payable, effects of temporary differences, net operating loss and credit carryforwards and the need for valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. In assessing whether or not deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this assessment, historical operating losses, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies are considered.

As a result of the history of losses that the Company has incurred in recent years in the U.S., substantially all of the U.S. domestic deferred tax assets, including tax loss carryforwards, net of certain deferred tax liabilities, have been offset with a valuation allowance. The Company expects to maintain a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until it can sustain a sufficient level of profits in the applicable tax jurisdictions that will demonstrate the ability to realize these net deferred tax assets at a more likely than not level.

Income tax expense for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended July 3, 2010 was primarily comprised of income tax expense for foreign subsidiaries and withholding tax and U.S. income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings. The accrual for U.S. income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings reduced the valuation allowance required due to expected net operating loss usage.

Income tax expense for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2009 was primarily comprised of additional valuation allowances related to intangible assets and U.S. income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings.

On September 1, 2007, the Company entered into an intercompany financing arrangement whereby one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries issued a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany note as part of an internal legal entity restructuring. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended October 3, 2009, the internal legal entity restructuring was reversed and a portion of the balance outstanding under the intercompany note was repaid. During the thirty-nine week period ended July 3, 2010, the remaining balance under the intercompany note was paid in full. The intercompany note was not long-term in nature. As a result, the impact of exchange rate changes on the note was recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

12. Condensed Guarantor Data

On December 17, 2007, as a result of certain corporate restructuring activities, ATT entered into supplemental indentures with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Floating Rate Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) to include certain domestic subsidiaries as guarantors. The Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by ATT Holding Co. and certain of its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely, Ames True Temper Properties, Inc., Ames Holdings, Inc. and Ames U.S. Holding Corp., (collectively the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). ATT Holding Co. is a holding company which has no interest, operations or activities other than through its ownership of 100% of ATT and ATT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Notes are not guaranteed by any of ATT Holding Co.’s other indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The following condensed consolidating information presents, in separate columns, the condensed consolidating balance sheets, the related condensed consolidating statements of operations and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for (i) ATT Holding Co. on a parent-only basis, with its investment in subsidiary recorded under the equity method, (ii) the issuer (ATT) as a wholly-owned subsidiary, on a parent-only basis, with its investments in subsidiaries recorded under the equity method, (iii) the subsidiary guarantors on a combined basis, (iv) the subsidiary non-guarantors on a combined basis and (v) the Company on a consolidated basis.

During the fourteen week period ended October 3, 2009, the Company consummated an internal reorganization between the U.S. and Canada segments. Pursuant to this reorganization, a Canadian subsidiary of the Company transferred all of the outstanding shares of a U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a separate U.S. subsidiary.

13. Related Party Transactions

On June 28, 2004, affiliates of Castle Harlan, Inc., a New York-based private-equity investment firm, together with certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the Company (the “Acquisition”). In connection with the Acquisition, CHATT Holdings LLC (“CHATT LLC”) was formed. CHATT LLC owns 100% of CHATT Holdings Inc. (“CHATT Inc.”); which owns 100% of ATT Holding Co.; which owns 100% of the Company. CHATT LLC and CHATT Inc. are not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of ATT Holding Co. Upon completion of the Acquisition, affiliates of Castle Harlan, Inc. owned approximately 87% of the equity interests of CHATT LLC and certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries owned approximately 13% of the equity interests of CHATT LLC. The equity interests of CHATT LLC as of the completion of the Acquisition consisted of Class A Units and Class B Units, the terms of which are described below. The Class A Units and Class B Units were issued as strips of equal numbers of Class A Units and Class B Units (“Strips”). In addition, certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries were issued Class B Units (sometimes referred to as Class B Incentive Units) that are subject to certain vesting requirements which are discussed below.

From time to time since June 28, 2004, CHATT LLC has issued additional Strips and additional Class B Units to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries that are subject to vesting requirements.

All of the Class B Units that are subject to vesting requirements were issued pursuant to employee subscription agreements entered into separately between CHATT LLC and each employee that received such Class B Units (“Employee Subscription Agreements”). Pursuant to the Employee Subscription Agreements, these Class B Units vest based on three criteria: (i) time vesting based on a five-year term, (ii) performance vesting based on the operating results of CHATT LLC and (iii) vesting based upon the achievement of a targeted rate of return upon a change of control of CHATT LLC. In addition, the vesting of these Class B Units is subject to acceleration in the event of a change of control of CHATT LLC. As of July 3, 2010 and October 3, 2009, there were 139,067 and 138,567 Class B Units, respectively, subject to vesting issued to management and members of the CHATT Holdings LLC Board of Directors who are not employees of ATT or Castle Harlan, Inc. These units may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred except in compliance with applicable securities laws. None of the Class A Units or Class B Units that were issued as Strips are subject to any vesting requirements.

Each Class A Unit and Class B Unit, whether issued as part of a Strip or pursuant to an Employee Subscription Agreement, is governed by and subject to the terms of an operating agreement among CHATT LLC and each of its equity holders (the “Operating Agreement”). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement: to the extent any distribution of assets is made by CHATT LLC, the holders of Class A Units are entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution to holders of Class B Units; after the preferred return has been paid to the holders of Class A Units, the holders of Class B Units are entitled to receive any remaining amounts of any distribution on a pro rata basis; holders of Class A Units do not have any voting rights; and each holder of any Class B Units is entitled to one vote per Class B Unit on all matters to be voted on by the members of CHATT LLC.

The above-referenced rights of the Class B Units are applicable only to those Class B Units that (i) were issued as part of a Strip and therefore are not subject to vesting requirements or (ii) were issued pursuant to an Employee Subscription Agreement and have become vested. Unvested Class B Units do not have any voting rights or rights to receive distributions.

Each Class A Unit and Class B Unit held by employees of the Company or its subsidiaries is subject to repurchase by CHATT LLC or an affiliate of Castle Harlan, Inc. upon the termination of such employee’s employment.

At certain times following the Acquisition, CHATT LLC issued strips of Class A-1 Units and Class B Units to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the

ATT HOLDING CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
(Unaudited)

holders of Class A-1 Units were entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution of assets to holders of Class A Units or Class B Units. The terms of the Class A-1 Units were otherwise identical to the Class A Units. In January 2007, all of the Class A-1 Units were converted into Class A Units pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.

Following the conversion of the Class A-1 Units into Class A Units, CHATT LLC issued strips of Class A-2 Units and Class B Units to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the holders of Class A-2 Units were entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution of assets to holders of Class A Units or Class B Units. The terms of the Class A-2 Units were otherwise identical to the Class A Units. In January 2009, all of the Class A-2 Units were converted into Class A Units pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.

Following the conversion of the Class A-2 Units into Class A Units, CHATT LLC issued strips of Class A-3 Units and Class B Units to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the holders of Class A-3 Units are entitled to a preferred return prior to any distribution of assets to holders of Class A Units or Class B Units. The terms of the Class A-3 Units are otherwise identical to the Class A Units. In April 2010, all of the Class A-3 Units were converted into Class A Units pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.

The Company is party to a management agreement with Castle Harlan, Inc., an affiliate of the shareholder, under which Castle Harlan, Inc. provides business and organizational strategy, financial and investment management, advisory, merchant and investment banking services to the Company. The Company recorded expenses of $805 and $2,467 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2010, respectively, related to the annual management fee plus expenses which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The management fees plus expenses for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2009 were $841 and $2,479, respectively. The management fees are payable quarterly in advance in accordance with the management agreement. The amount payable to Castle Harlan, Inc. as of July 3, 2010 was $9 which is included in trade payables in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. No amounts were outstanding as of October 3, 2009.

14. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy exists that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):

•		Level 1 — Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•		Level 2 — Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means.

•		Level 3 — Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued.

Financial Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, restricted cash, trade payables, derivatives and debt. Because of short term maturities, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, restricted cash, trade payables, the Revolving Loan and Term Note approximate fair value. The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis relate to the Company’s derivative contracts which are mainly comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. The Company utilizes the income approach as the present value

ATT HOLDING CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
(Unaudited)

technique to fair value each derivative contract. The Company calculates the present value of future expected cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the underlying risk of the debtor. If the derivative represents a liability to the Company, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate was utilized as the discount rate in the present value calculation. If the derivative represents an asset to the Company, the recorded value includes an estimate of a credit risk adjustment for the counterparty.

As of July 3, 2010, the Company’s interest rate swaps are in a liability position and no foreign currency forward contracts are outstanding. The Company used the one year LIBOR rate of 1.17% plus a 6% credit risk spread to value the interest rate swaps. See Note 7 for further information regarding the notional amount and duration of the interest rate swaps.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is as follows:

	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total

Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	3,209	$	—	$	3,209

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is as follows:


		July 3, 2010				October 3, 2009
	Balance Sheet	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Classification	Value		Value		Value		Value
Senior Floating Rate Notes	Liability	$	149,839	$	141,375	$	149,759	$	131,070
Senior Subordinated Notes	Liability		150,000		150,000		150,000		127,425

To determine the fair value of the Notes, the Company utilized quoted prices for the debt instruments in the marketplace as well as market data for comparable securities, the credit rating of the Notes and the credit rating of the Company.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Non-financial assets and liabilities primarily include goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessments and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in business combinations.

sales led to a reduction in Dynamic Design’s trade name fair value. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $300 within the U.S. segment. The Company performed the interim impairment test using the relief-from-royalty method, the present value of savings resulting from owning the right to manufacture or sell products under a trade name without having to pay a license fee for its use, utilizing a discount rate of 16%. The impairment is included in impairment charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the Dynamic Design trade name as of July 3, 2010 is as follows:

15. Derivatives

The Company’s cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company manages the exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. Foreign currency forward contracts are entered into to manage exchange rate risk for portions of the Company’s forecasted U.S. dollar purchases by the Canada segment. Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet.

Interest rate swaps were entered into to fix the variable interest rate portion of the Senior Floating Rate Notes. The Company swaps 3-month LIBOR rates for fixed interest rates to limit the exposure of changes in interest payments. The Company has structured all existing interest rate swap agreements to be perfectly effective. The Company designates the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The change in fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred taxes. The remaining gain or loss, if any, is recognized currently in earnings (loss). Gains and losses on the interest rate swaps are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings as interest expense on the Senior Floating Rate Notes is accrued. See Note 7 for further information regarding the notional amounts and duration of the interest rate swaps. See Note 14 for further information regarding the fair value of the interest rate swaps.

Foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the change in fair value is recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in earnings in the period of change. As of July 3, 2010, the Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts

Other than standard cross default provisions if a default occurs across the organization, no credit-risk related-contingent features exist for the Company’s derivatives.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

During December 2004, a customer of the Company was named in litigation that involved UnionTools products. The complaint asserted causes of action against the defendant for improper advertisement to the end consumer. The allegation suggests that advertisements led the consumer to believe that the hand tools sold were manufactured within the boundaries of the United States. The allegation asserts cause of action against the customer for common law fraud. In the event that an adverse judgment is rendered against the customer, there is a possibility that the customer would seek legal recourse against the Company for an unspecified amount in contributory damages. Presently, the Company cannot estimate the amount of loss, if any, if the customer were to seek legal recourse against the Company.

From approximately 1993 through 1999, the Company manufactured and sold 647,000 wheelbarrows with poly wheel hubs. Various claims were submitted, and lawsuits filed, to recover for injuries sustained while inflating tires on these wheelbarrows. In 2002, the Company participated in a voluntary ''fast track’’ recall of these wheelbarrows with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”). The Company again voluntarily recalled these wheelbarrows in June 2004 in cooperation with the CPSC. However, less than 1% of the total products sold were returned, leaving an unknown number in service. To date, the Company has responded to 34 claims involving this product. All known claims have been resolved. Although the Company believes it has sufficient insurance coverage in place to cover these claims, a successful claim may exceed the limits of the Company’s coverage.

During fiscal 2009, an underground fuel tank with surrounding soil contamination was discovered at the Frankfort, NY site which is the result of historical facility operations prior to the Company’s ownership. The Company is actively working with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Department of Health to define remediation requirements. Due to changes in administrative

(Unaudited)

proceedings the date the Company believes remediation will be completed has changed to December 2011 from December 2010. During the quarterly period ended October 3, 2009, the Company recorded a charge to cost of goods sold for approximately $2,567 associated with the removal of the fuel oil tank and soil contamination. The change in the environmental liability for the Frankfort, NY site is as follows:

In April 2010, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by Patent Group, LLC (“Patent Group”) for falsely marketing certain of products under 35 U.S.C. § 292. Patent Group claims the Company has marketed and sold certain leaf rakes marked with patent references that have expired with the intent to deceive the public and to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Patent Group is seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The Company settled this claim for $60 in June 2010.

The Company is involved in lawsuits and claims, including certain environmental matters, arising out of the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate amount of liability, if any, under pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

17. Other

The Company applied for relief under the U. S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000, or “Byrd Amendment,” as a result of foreign manufacturers selling certain tools at unfair prices within the U. S. market. During December 2009 and December 2008, the Company received a distribution of tariffs collected in the amount of $3,259 and $2,983, respectively. These amounts were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

18. Contract Termination Costs

During the fourteen week period ended October 3, 2009, the Company ceased using the Louisville, Kentucky distribution center and recorded contract termination costs of $1,236 associated with the building lease. Termination costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations within the U.S. segment. During the thirteen week period ended July 3, 2010, the Company adjusted the contract termination accrual due to changes in the fair value of estimated sublease rentals. The change in the contract termination accrual is as follows:


Balance as of October 3, 2009	$	1,236
Costs paid		(782	)
Exit liability expense		454
Accretion expense		43
Fair value adjustment		902

Balance as of July 3, 2010	$	1,853

19. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and has determined that except as set forth below, there are no subsequent events that require disclosure.

On June 29, 2010, Ames True Temper Australia Pty Ltd (“ATT Australia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATT, entered into a Call and Put Option to Purchase Business (the “Option Agreement”) with Westmix and Michelangelo Cantone and Jewell Cantone (collectively, the “Cantones”) relating to the

ATT HOLDING CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
(Unaudited)

purchase of certain assets (the “Assets”) of Westmix, an Australia-based manufacturer. The Assets consist principally of trade receivables, inventory, trade names and leases. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, ATT Australia received a call option to purchase from Westmix (the “Call Option”), and Westmix received a put option to sell to ATT Australia, the Assets for $14.05 million Australian dollars (approximately $12.7 million) (the “Purchase Price”) in cash, subject to upward or downward working capital adjustments of up to $175,000 Australian dollars (approximately $159,000).

On July 5, 2010, ATT Australia exercised the Call Option and ATT Australia, Westmix and the Cantones entered into a Business Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) pursuant to which ATT Australia agreed to acquire the Assets and assume certain trade payables and customer rebates. Simultaneously with the execution of the Sale Agreement, ATT Australia made an escrow payment of 10% of the purchase price, or $1.405 million Australian dollars (approximately $1.2 million). The escrow payment will be refunded to ATT Australia in the event the sale of the Assets is not consummated; provided that if the failure to consummate the sale of the Assets is due to a material default by ATT Australia of its obligations under the Sale Agreement, the escrow payment will be forfeited to Westmix.

The consummation of the sale of the Assets is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all requisite third party consents, the acceptance of employment offers with ATT Australia by certain Westmix employees, the absence of the loss of any key customer or key supplier and the absence of any material adverse effect. The expected closing date is August 2010.

On July 19, 2010, CHATT Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), CHATT Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller (the “Parent”), Griffon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Griffon”), and Clopay Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Griffon (the “Buyer”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent, par value $0.01 per share, to the Buyer for a purchase price of $542 million (subject to certain adjustments) (the “Purchase Price”).

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction”) is subject to customary conditions, including (i) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (ii) the absence of certain governmental restraints and (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect on the business of the Parent and its subsidiaries.

The Buyer has obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the Transaction, the aggregate proceeds of which will be sufficient to pay the Purchase Price and all related fees and expenses. Griffon has committed to purchase equity interests in the Buyer on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an equity commitment letter, dated July 19, 2010, between Griffon and the Buyer (the “Equity Commitment Letter”). Griffon has provided a limited guarantee in favor of the Seller, dated July 19, 2010 (the “Limited Guarantee”), guaranteeing the performance of certain obligations of the Buyer under the Purchase Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee.

Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC has committed to provide up to $650 million in senior secured credit facilities (comprised of a term loan facility of up to $500 million and a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a commitment letter dated July 19, 2010 (the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Commitments”).

The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Seller and the Buyer. Upon termination of the Purchase Agreement under specified circumstances by the Seller, the Buyer will be required to pay the Seller a termination fee equal to $20 million. The Seller and the Parent have the right to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement in specified circumstances and subject to certain limitations. If the Financing Commitments are available to be drawn down by the Buyer and a court does not grant specific performance to the Seller or the Parent, then, under certain

(Unaudited)

circumstances, the Seller or the Parent may institute proceedings for monetary damages, and in the event that the Seller or the Parent establishes in such proceeding that the Buyer has committed a willful breach of the Purchase Agreement, the parties have agreed that the Buyer will be required to pay the Seller or the Parent damages of not less than $20 million and up to $40 million. No adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were recorded as a result of the Purchase Agreement. The closing date is expected to be on or before September 30, 2010.

On August 3, 2010, Buyer commenced cash tender offers for any and all Senior Floating Rate Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes of the Company.

On July 19, 2010, the Company paid off the remaining balance on the Term Note.

Our Business

General

ATT is a leading global provider of non-powered landscaping products that make work easier for homeowners and professionals. We sell our products primarily in the U.S. and Canada through (1) retail centers, including home centers and mass merchandisers, (2) wholesale chains, including hardware stores and garden centers and (3) industrial distributors. We offer the following 8 distinct product lines: long handle tools, wheelbarrows, planters, garden hoses and hose reels, snow tools, striking tools, pruning tools, and Hound Dog specialty tools.

We believe that our global manufacturing strategy, based primarily upon a blend of domestic manufacturing and sourced product, makes us cost-competitive while allowing us to provide a high level of customer service.

Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

Q3 2010 compared to Q3 2009

Net Sales. Overall net sales decreased primarily due to selling price reductions of approximately $4.9 million and a decrease in volume of approximately $4.7 million. Decreases were partially offset by favorable Canadian currency translation of $2.5 million and lower incentive for growth program allowances of $1.4 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased primarily due to favorable overhead absorption of $2.3 million, lower incentive for growth program allowances of $1.4 million and lower labor and material usage costs of $1.3 million.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. SG&A increased primarily due to expenses associated with the acquisition of Westmix and the pending sale of ATT of $1.3 million, higher employee incentive compensation costs of $1.0 million and an increase in contract termination costs of $0.9 million due to changes in the fair value of estimated sublease rentals associated with the closure of a distribution facility in fiscal 2009.

Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets. Loss on disposal of fixed assets includes miscellaneous disposals of machinery and equipment.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense is consistent with the prior period.

Impairment Charges. During Q3 2010, the Company reduced its forecast for Dynamic Design branded sales due to a shift in branding strategies by certain customers whereby the mix of sales was less heavily weighted with Dynamic Design branded product. The reduction in forecasted branded sales led to a reduction in Dynamic Design’s trade name fair value. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $0.3 million within the U.S. segment. The impairment charges of $0.5 million in Q3 2009 relate to the impairment of a manufacturing facility and equipment in our Other segment mainly due to the discontinuance of manufacturing certain products.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased due to lower average borrowings under our Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Revolving Loan”) and a lower effective interest rate on our Senior Floating Rate Notes of 5.9% in Q3 2010 as compared to 6.4% in Q3 2009.

Other Income. Other income for Q3 2010 primarily includes an unrealized gain of $0.6 million related to a U.S. dollar bank account held by a Canadian subsidiary and an unrealized loss of $0.2 million related to an intercompany note with a subsidiary in our Other segment. Other income for Q3 2010 also includes a realized gain of $0.7 related to a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany note held by a Canadian subsidiary that is not long-term in nature and a realized loss of $0.2 related to U.S. dollar denominated trade receivables and payables held by a Canadian subsidiary. Other income for Q3 2009 primarily includes an unrealized gain of $7.5 million related to the Canadian intercompany note and unrealized losses of $0.6 million related to a U.S. dollar bank account held by a Canadian subsidiary and $0.5 million related to foreign currency forward contracts. Other income for Q3 2009 also includes a realized gain related to foreign currency forward contracts of $0.3 million.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for Q3 2010 was primarily comprised of income tax expense for foreign subsidiaries and withholding tax and US income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings. Income tax expense for Q3 2009 was primarily comprised of additional valuation allowances related to intangible assets and US income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings. As of Q3 2010 and Q3 2009, a deferred tax asset valuation allowance was necessary for substantially all of our U.S. deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities. We expect to maintain a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until we can sustain a sufficient level of profits in the applicable jurisdictions that will demonstrate the ability to realize these net deferred tax assets.

Our Segments

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we consummated an internal reorganization between our U.S. and Canada segments. Pursuant to this reorganization, our Canadian subsidiary transferred all of the outstanding shares of a U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a separate U.S. subsidiary. We have recast our Q3 2009 segment information as a result of this reorganization. The following table presents our net sales and operating income after intercompany eliminations by segment:

Operating income. Operating income increased primarily due to favorable overhead absorption of $2.0 million.

Canada

Net Sales. Net sales increased primarily due to favorable currency translation of $2.5 million partially offset by volume declines of approximately $1.2 million and selling price reductions of approximately $0.9 million.

YTD 2010 compared to YTD 2009

Net Sales. Overall net sales decreased primarily due to volume declines of approximately $13.2 million and selling price reductions of approximately $11.1 million, partially offset by favorable Canadian currency translation of $8.2 million and lower incentive for growth program allowances of $2.3 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased primarily due to favorable overhead absorption of $4.9 million, lower labor and material usage costs of $2.3 million and lower incentive for growth program allowances of $2.3 million, partially offset by volume declines.

SG&A. SG&A increased primarily due to higher employee incentive compensation costs of $1.8 million, expenses associated with the acquisition of Westmix and the pending sale of ATT of $1.3 million and an increase in contract termination costs of $0.9 million due to changes in the fair value of estimated sublease rentals associated with the closure of a distribution facility in fiscal 2009. Increases were partially offset by lower distribution expenses of $0.8 million attributed to a facility closure in fiscal 2009 and $0.3 million increase in recoveries under the U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 or “Byrd Amendment.” We recovered $3.3 million in Q1 2010 and $3.0 million in Q1 2009 under the Byrd Amendment. Future recoveries under the Byrd Amendment are unknown and cannot be reasonably assured.

Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets. Loss on disposal of fixed assets in YTD 2009 includes miscellaneous disposals of machinery and equipment.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense is consistent with the prior period.

Impairment Charges. The impairment charge in YTD 2010 was the result of the Company reducing its forecast for Dynamic Design branded sales due to a shift in branding strategies by certain customers whereby the mix of sales was less heavily weighted with Dynamic Design branded product. The reduction in forecasted branded sales led to a reduction in Dynamic Design’s trade name fair value. As a result, the

Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $0.3 million within the U.S. segment. Impairment charges in YTD 2009 include $0.5 million related to an asset previously held for sale and $0.5 million related to the impairment of a manufacturing facility and equipment in our Other segment mainly due to the discontinuance of manufacturing certain products.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased due to lower average borrowings under our Revolving Loan and a lower effective interest rate on our Senior Floating Rate Notes of 6.1% in YTD 2010 as compared to 7.1% in YTD 2009.

Other Expense. Other expense for YTD 2010 primarily includes unrealized losses of $0.9 related to a U.S. dollar bank account held by a Canadian subsidiary and $0.4 related to an intercompany note with a subsidiary in our Other segment. Other expense for YTD 2010 also includes a realized gain of $0.7 related to a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany note held by a Canadian subsidiary that is not long-term in nature and a realized loss of $0.6 related to foreign currency forward contracts. Other expense for YTD 2009 primarily includes an unrealized loss of $8.8 million related to the Canadian intercompany note and an unrealized gain of $1.5 million related to a U.S. dollar bank account held by a Canadian subsidiary. Other expense for YTD 2009 also includes a realized gain related to foreign currency forward contracts of $1.5 million.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for YTD 2010 was primarily comprised of income tax expense for foreign subsidiaries and withholding tax and US income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings. Income tax expense for YTD 2009 was primarily comprised of additional valuation allowances related to intangible assets, and US income tax related to foreign unremitted earnings. For YTD 2010 and YTD 2009 a deferred tax asset valuation was necessary for substantially all of our U.S. deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities. We expect to maintain a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until we can sustain a sufficient level of profits in the applicable jurisdictions that will demonstrate the ability to realize these net deferred tax assets.

Our Segments

As a result of the internal reorganization described above, we have recast our YTD 2009 segment information. The following table presents our net sales and operating income after intercompany eliminations by segment for YTD 2010 and YTD 2009:

Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

United States

Net Sales. Overall net sales decreased primarily due to selling price reductions of approximately $9.6 million and volume declines of approximately $6.6 million (excluding snow tool sales). Volume declines were partially offset by an increase in snow tool volume of $6.7 million of which $4.5 million was due to the transition of a customer to the U.S. segment from the Canada segment in Q1 2010. Also during Q1 2010, the U.S. experienced heavy snowfall in certain densely populated areas which attributed to the increase in snow tools.

Operating income. Operating income increased due to favorable overhead absorption of $5.7 million, lower depreciation expense of $2.0 million, lower distribution expenses of $0.8 million related to a facility closure in fiscal 2009 and an increase of $0.3 million in Byrd Amendment recoveries as discussed above.

Canada

Net Sales. Net sales decreased primarily due to volume declines of approximately $13.3 million and selling price reductions of approximately $1.4 million, partially offset by favorable Canadian currency translation of $8.2 million. Volume declines of $4.5 million were due to the transition of a customer from the Canada segment to the U.S. segment in Q1 2010 as discussed above.

Operating income. Operating income increased due to lower material costs and favorable exchange rates on U.S. dollar material and inventory purchases.

Other

Net Sales. Changes in net sales were not significant for the period presented.

Operating loss. Operating loss decreased due to severance costs of $0.8 million and long-lived asset impairments of $0.5 million recorded in YTD 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are to service our debt and meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs. In accordance with the purchase agreement between Buyer and certain parent companies of ATT as discussed in Note 19 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, Buyer has commenced tender offers for the entire principal amount of both the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Floating Rate Notes. Buyer has also commenced concurrent consent solicitations for proposed amendments to the indentures under which the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Floating Rate Notes were issued. Also, the Revolving Loan is expected to be paid off and terminated at closing. The expected funding related to the Purchase Agreement will provide new financing up to $650 million in senior secured credit facilities (comprised of a term loan facility of up to $500 million and a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million).

During Q4 2010, we plan to use between $12 to $15 million in cash to complete the Westmix acquisition and provide initial working capital. The financing will be provided through our Revolving Loan.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in trade receivables due to discontinuing a cash discount program with a significant customer and an increase in inventory mostly offset by higher trade payables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Purchases of property, plant and equipment are generally the main investing activities of the Company. We do not anticipate purchases of property, plant and equipment during fiscal 2010 to deviate significantly from historical purchase levels. The increase in cash used in investing activities is also due to the escrow payment made as part of the agreement to purchase certain assets from Westmix.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily related to an increase in repayments on a lower Revolving Loan balance in YTD 2010 when compared to the same period in YTD 2009.

(a)		Total amount available is limited by the amount of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and real estate less letters of credit outstanding.

(b)		The interest rate applicable to the loans under the Revolving Loan is either 1) the “Eurodollar Rate” or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75%, or 2) the “Base Rate” plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.50%. The Base Rate is calculated at the higher of 1) the prevailing Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or 2) the administrative agent’s prime interest rate plus an applicable rate determined by the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as defined by the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement. As of July 3, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan.

(c)		LIBOR represents the three month London Interbank Offered Rate which resets quarterly. LIBOR was .3% as of April 13, 2010. April 13, 2010 is the reset date for the July 15, 2010 interest payment.

(d)		Interest payments are in cash and paid in arrears.


(e)		The Senior Floating Rate Notes do not have a redemption premium. The Senior Subordinated Notes have a redemption price of 100% of principal on or after July 15, 2010.

(f)		As of July 3, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its indebtedness agreements.

Revolving Loan

On April 7, 2006, we entered into the Revolving Loan with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The Revolving Loan is a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $130.0 million, including a sub-facility for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million and a sub-facility for swing-line loans in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million. Our obligations under the Revolving Loan are guaranteed by ATT Holding Co. and collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Ames True Temper, Inc. and Ames True Temper Properties, Inc. Future domestic subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the obligations and grant a lien on substantially all of their assets.

The terms of the Revolving Loan include various covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional liens, incur additional indebtedness and make additional investments. In addition, we are prohibited from incurring capital expenditures exceeding $15.0 million in any fiscal year (subject to the right to carry over the unused portion to the following year). In addition, upon the occurrence of “Cash Dominion Trigger,” we will be required to have Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Revolving Loan, of at least $41.0 million for each period of four fiscal quarters. Under the Revolving Loan, a Cash Dominion Trigger shall have occurred if (1) an event of default under the Revolving Loan shall have occurred or (2) availability under the Revolving Loan falls below certain thresholds. The Revolving Loan also includes customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross defaults to other indebtedness and bankruptcy related defaults.

Senior Floating Rate Notes

The Senior Floating Rate Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent and all domestic subsidiaries on a senior unsecured basis. The Senior Floating Rate Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the assets securing such debt, including borrowings under the senior secured credit facility, pari passu with all future senior unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future senior subordinated debt, including our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, and effectively behind all of the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables.

The indenture governing the Senior Floating Rate Notes contains various affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including but not limited to those limiting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, guarantee debt or sell preferred stock, create liens, pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make specified types of investments, sell stock in our restricted subsidiaries, restrict dividends or other payments from restricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell assets or merge with other companies. The indenture governing the Senior Floating Rate Notes also contains various events of default, including but not limited to those related to non-payment of principal, interest or fees; failure to perform or observe certain covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy related events, monetary judgment defaults and material non-monetary judgment defaults, ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) defaults and change of control. In addition, we are required to redeem the Senior Floating Rate Notes under certain circumstances involving changes of control.

Senior Subordinated Notes

The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent, ATT Holding Co. and all domestic subsidiaries, on a senior subordinated basis. The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and rank behind all of our existing and future senior debt, including borrowings under the Revolver Loan, equally with any of our future senior subordinated debt, ahead of any of our future debt that expressly provides for subordination to the Senior Subordinated Notes and effectively behind all of the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables.

The indenture governing Senior Subordinated Notes contains various affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including but not limited to those limiting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, guarantee debt or sell preferred stock, create liens, pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make certain investments, sell stock in our restricted subsidiaries, restrict dividends or other payments from restricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell assets or merge with other companies. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes also contains various events of default, including but not limited to those related to non-payment of principal, interest or fees; violations of certain covenants; certain bankruptcy-related events; invalidity of liens; non-payment of certain legal judgments and cross defaults with certain other indebtedness. We are required to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes under certain circumstances involving changes of control.

Other Debt

The Term Note contains customary events of default (subject to customary exceptions, thresholds and grace periods), including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees and failure to perform or observe certain covenants.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Senior Floating Rate Notes have an interest rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 4%. We have entered into interest rate swaps that fix the variable rate portion of the interest rate as follows:

(Dollars in Thousands)


							(a)
							Effective
					Notional		Interest
	Receive	Pay			Amount		Rate
January 15, 2010 through January 15, 2011	3-month LIBOR		1.90	%		150,000		5.90	%
January 18, 2011 through January 15, 2012	3-month LIBOR		2.50	%		150,000		6.50	%


(a)		Represents the effective interest rate on the respective portion of the Senior Floating Rate Notes including the contractual terms of the interest rate swap for the periods indicated.

As of July 3, 2010, the interest rate swaps were recorded as a liability of $3.2 million of which $1.1 million is classified as a current liability. The change in fair value for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended July 3, 2010 was recognized as a reduction to other comprehensive income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, net of taxes, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of July 3, 2010 and October 3, 2009, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

As of July 3, 2010, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $1.5 million. We do not expect a significant tax payment related to these obligations within the next year, however, due to the uncertainty of the timing of these tax positions we have not included this liability in the above table.

Financial Position

Working capital as of July 3, 2010 and October 3, 2009 was as follows:

Working capital	$	132,339	$	104,441	$	27,898			26.7	%

Our working capital as of July 3, 2010 increased compared to our working capital as of October 3, 2009 due to the zero balance outstanding under the Revolving Loan and higher trade receivables mainly as a result of discontinuing a cash discount program with a significant customer. The increases in inventory and trade payables largely offset each other.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our cash flows, results of operations and financial position are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material costs. We manage our exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as needed.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary market risk is interest rate exposure with respect to our floating rate debt, which includes the Senior Floating Rate Notes and Revolving Loan. The interest rate on the Senior Floating Rate Notes at July 3, 2010 was 4.3%. As of July 3, 2010, we had two outstanding interest rate swaps. These swaps effectively fix the variable interest rate portion of the Senior Floating Rate Notes. See “Debt and Other Obligations — Senior Floating Rate Notes” and “— Interest Rate Swaps.” We estimate a 1% change in Revolving Loan interest rates would have impacted interest expense by approximately $0.2 million. As of July 3, 2010, there is a zero balance outstanding under the Revolving Loan.

Foreign Operations; Currency Risk

We conduct foreign operations primarily in Canada and Ireland and utilize international suppliers and manufacturers. As a result, we are subject to risk from changes in foreign exchange rates. These changes result in either cumulative translation adjustments, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), or realized and unrealized gains and losses which are included in other expense. As of July 3, 2010, a hypothetical 10% change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would increase or decrease income before income taxes by $0.1 million.

Raw Material; Commodity Price Risk

We purchase certain raw materials such as resin, steel and wood that are subject to price volatility caused by unpredictable factors. Where possible, we employ fixed rate raw material purchase contracts and customer price adjustments to help us to manage this risk. We do not currently manage our raw materials risk through the use of derivative instruments.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 3, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
