SUMMARY

        This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully before making an investment decision. In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and "Prestige Holdings" for periods prior to the completion of this offering refer to Prestige International Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and as of the completion of this offering and thereafter, to Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together in each case with our consolidated subsidiaries and any predecessor entities unless the context requires otherwise.

Our Business

         We sell well-recognized, brand name over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care products. 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. Our ten major brands, set forth in the table below, have strong levels of consumer awareness and retail distribution across all major channels. These brands accounted for approximately 89% of our pro forma gross sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Gross sales represent net sales before product returns, customer allowances, coupon redemptions and cash discounts.

        Our products are sold through multiple channels, including mass merchants and drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. This balanced channel mix allows us to effectively launch new products across all distribution channels and reduces our exposure to any single customer. We focus our internal resources on marketing, sales, customer service and product development. While we perform the production planning and oversee the quality control aspects of the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of

1


our products, we outsource the operating elements of these functions to well-established, lower-cost third party providers. This operating model allows us to focus our resources on marketing and product development, which we believe enables us to achieve attractive margins while minimizing capital expenditures and working capital investment.

        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.

        Our pro forma revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 were $285.5 million and $231.2 million, respectively.

Competitive Strengths

        Diversified Portfolio of Recognized and Established Brands.    We own and market well-recognized brands with long histories in the marketplace. On average, each of our ten major brands were established over 60 years ago and are widely recognized by consumers. Our diverse portfolio of products provides us multiple sources of growth and minimizes our reliance on any one single category. We provide significant marketing support to our brands in order to grow our sales and our long-term profitability. The industry categories in which we sell our products, however, are highly competitive. These markets include numerous national manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers, many of which have greater resources than we do and may be able to spend more aggressively on advertising and marketing, which may have an adverse effect on our competitive position.

        Strong Competitor in Attractive, Niche Categories.    We strategically choose to compete in niche product categories that address recurring consumer needs and that we believe are considered non-core to larger consumer and pharmaceutical companies. We believe we are well positioned in these categories due to the long history and consumer awareness of our brands, our strong market positions and our low-cost operating model. However, a significant increase in the number of product introductions by our competitors in these niche markets could have an adverse effect on our sales and operating results.

        Proven Ability to Develop and Introduce New Products.    We focus our marketing and product development efforts on identifying underserved consumer needs and then designing products that directly address those needs. Recent new products where we have identified and addressed a consumer need include: Compound W Freeze Off™, a cryogenic wart removal product which allows consumers to use a wart freezing treatment similar to that used by doctors; Chloraseptic Relief Strips™, which combine popular dissolvable strips with Chloraseptic's sore throat relief medicine; New-Skin Scar Therapy™; Cutex Twister™, a portable and spill-proof nail polish remover; and Spic and Span Everyday™ disposable wipes. Although line extensions and new product introductions are important to the overall growth of a brand, our efforts in this regard sometimes have the effect of reducing sales of

2



existing products within that brand. In addition, some of our product introductions may not be successful, such as Comet Clean and Flush™, which we introduced in August 2003.

        Efficient Operating Model.    We focus our internal resources on marketing, sales, customer service and product development. While we directly manage the production planning and quality control aspects of the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of our products, we outsource the operating elements of these functions to well-established, lower-cost third-party providers. This approach allows us to benefit from third-party economies of scale and maintain a highly variable cost structure, with low overhead, limited working capital investment and minimal capital expenditures. On a pro forma basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, our gross margin was approximately 53%, while our general and administrative expenses and our capital expenditures represented less than 10% and 1% of net sales, respectively. Our operating model, however, requires us to depend on third-party providers for manufacturing and logistics services. In the event that our third-party providers are unable or unwilling to supply or ship our products, our inventory levels, sales, gross margins and, ultimately, our results of operations, could be adversely affected.

        Experienced Senior Management Team with Proven Ability to Acquire, Integrate and Grow Brands.    We have an experienced senior management team averaging over 30 years of consumer products experience in marketing, sales, customer service and product development. Since joining our company, this senior management team has increased our sales and integrated several brands into our portfolio. Unlike many large consumer products companies, which we believe often entrust their smaller brands to rotating junior employees, our experienced managers are dedicated to specific brands and remain with those brands as they grow and evolve. Prior to managing our company, Peter Mann, our chief executive officer, Peter Anderson, our chief financial officer, and several other members of our management team previously held senior positions at a publicly traded company.

Growth Strategy

        Our growth strategy is to focus on our marketing, sales, customer service and product development efforts in order to continue to enhance our brands and drive growth. We plan to execute this strategy through:

Market Position

        Approximately 67% of our pro forma gross sales from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 are from brands with a number one or number two market position, which include Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Comet, Compound W, Cutex and New-Skin.

        The foregoing information with respect to our market share is provided by the independent market research firm Information Resources, Inc. Information Resources data reports retail sales in the food, drug and mass merchandise markets. Information Resources data for the mass merchandise market, however, does not include Wal-Mart, which ceased providing sales data to Information Resources in 2001. Although Wal-Mart represents a significant portion of the mass merchandise market for us, as well as our competitors, we believe that Wal-Mart's exclusion from Information Resources data does

4



not significantly change our market share or ranking relative to our competitors. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this prospectus to "market share" or "market position" are based on sales in the United States, as calculated by Information Resources for the 52 weeks ended August 8, 2004.

Our History

         Originally formed in 1996 as a joint venture of Medtech Labs and The Shansby Group to acquire over-the-counter drug brands from American Home Products, our company has been led by chief executive officer Peter Mann and chief financial officer Peter Anderson since 2001. Since that time, our company's portfolio of brand name products has expanded from over-the-counter drugs to include household cleaning and personal care products. We have principally added brands to our portfolio by acquiring strong and well-recognized brands from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. In February 2004, GTCR Golder Rauner II, LLC, a private equity firm, acquired our business from the original founders, as well as the Spic and Span business, with Peter Mann and Peter Anderson continuing to lead the management team. In this prospectus, we refer to this acquisition as the "Medtech acquisition."

        In April 2004, we acquired Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. Bonita Bay was the parent holding company of Prestige Brands International, Inc. and conducted its business under the "Prestige" name. After we completed this acquisition, we began to conduct our business under the "Prestige" name. In this prospectus, we refer to the acquisition of Bonita Bay as the "Bonita Bay acquisition." The Bonita Bay portfolio included the following major brands: Chloraseptic, Comet, Clear eyes and Murine. Since the Bonita Bay acquisition, we have successfully integrated its operations and realized approximately $12 million of annual cost savings, exceeding our initial estimates.

        In October 2004, we acquired the rights to the Little Remedies brands through our purchase of Vetco, Inc. Vetco is engaged in the development, distribution and marketing of pediatric over-the-counter healthcare products, primarily marketed under the Little Remedies brand name. Vetco's products include Little Noses® nasal products, Little Tummy's® digestive health products, Little Colds® cough/cold remedies and Little Remedies New Parents Survival Kits. The Little Remedies products deliver relief of common childhood ailments without unnecessary additives such as saccharin, alcohol, artificial flavors, coloring dyes or harmful preservatives. In this prospectus, we refer to the acquisition of Vetco as the "Vetco acquisition."

        Since completing the Bonita Bay acquisition, we have operated through a holding company that is a limited liability company. As described in "Reorganization as a Corporation," our new holding company will be a Delaware corporation upon completion of this offering.

        Our business is subject to numerous risks, as discussed more fully in the section entitled "Risk Factors" immediately following this prospectus summary.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data

        The following table sets forth our summary unaudited pro forma combined financial data for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

        The summary unaudited pro forma income statement and other financial data for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition, the Vetco acquisition, the corporate reorganization and the sale of 28,000,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, less the estimated underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," as if they had occurred on April 1, 2003. Bonita Bay, Spic and Span and Vetco historically utilized a December 31 fiscal year. For purposes of the year ended March 31, 2004 data presented herein, the historical December 31, 2003 period was used for these businesses. The summary unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 gives effect to the corporate reorganization and the sale of 28,000,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," as if they had occurred on that date.

        The summary unaudited pro forma financial data and accompanying notes are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition and the Vetco acquisition been consummated on the dates indicated above, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations.

        Management believes that the summary unaudited pro forma financial data is a meaningful presentation because the issuer's ability to satisfy debt and other obligations is dependent upon cash flow from the businesses acquired in the Medtech, Bonita Bay and Vetco acquisitions.

        The following information is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data," "Selected Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

"EBITDA" represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We present EBITDA because we understand that it is used by some investors and lenders to determine a company's historical ability to service and/or incur indebtedness and to fund ongoing capital expenditures. This belief is based in part on our negotiations with our lenders, who have indicated that the amount of indebtedness we will be permitted to incur will be based, in part, on our EBITDA. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in

8



Because of these limitations, you should not consider EBITDA as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally. See the Prestige Holdings, Bonita Bay, Spic and Span and Vetco statements of cash flows set forth in the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following is a reconciliation of pro forma cash flows from operations to pro forma EBITDA.

In connection with the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition and the Vetco acquisition, we identified significant historical expenses which management believes will not be incurred on a going forward basis. In addition, we identified cash cost reductions that we have realized as a result of our integration plans with respect to the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition and the Vetco acquisition that have resulted in a positive annualized effect on pro forma EBITDA when compared to recent operating history of the separate companies. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—General—Acquisition-Related Synergies." In addition, covenants in our senior credit facility and indenture relating to our outstanding notes provide for adjustments to EBITDA when calculating important ratios. Permitted adjustments include, but are not limited to, the purchase accounting impact of acquisitions, the exclusion of certain transaction costs, cost savings associated with acquisitions and other non-cash gains and losses. While we believe the expenses set forth below will not recur in future periods after implementation of such cost reduction measures, we may incur other expenses

RISK FACTORS

        You should read and consider carefully each of the following factors, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our common stock.

Risks Relating to Our Business

The high level of competition in our industry could adversely affect our sales, operating results and profitability.

        The business of selling brand name consumer products in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories is highly competitive. These markets include numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for consumers' business both in the United States and abroad.

        Our principal competitors vary by industry category. Competitors in the over-the counter drug category include Pfizer, maker of Visine®, which competes with our Clear eyes brand; McNeill-PPC, maker of Tylenol® Sore Throat, which competes with our Chloraseptic brand; Schering-Plough, maker of Dr Scholl's®, which competes with our Compound W brand; Johnson & Johnson, maker of BAND-AID® Brand Liquid Bandage, which competes with our New-Skin brand; and GlaxoSmithKline, maker of Debrox®, which competes with our Murine brand. Competitors in the household cleaning category include Henkel, maker of Soft Scrub®, and Clorox, maker of Tilex®, each of which competes with our Comet brand, and Clorox's Pine Sol®, which competes with our Spic and Span brand. Competitors in the personal care category include Johnson & Johnson, maker of T-Gel® shampoo, which competes with our Denorex brand, and Del Laboratories, maker of Sally Hansen®, which competes with our Cutex brand. Many of these competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do, and may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively on advertising and marketing and to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions than us. If this were to occur, our sales, operating results and profitability would be adversely affected.

        Some of our product lines that account for a large percentage of our sales have a relatively small market share relative to our competitors. For example, while Clear eyes has a number two market share position of 16.9%, its top competitor, Visine®, has a market share of 39.8%. In contrast, some of our brands with number one market positions have competitors with very similar market share. For example, while Compound W has a number one market position of 34.3%, its chief competitor, Dr. Scholl's Clear Away®, has a market position of 33.7%. Similarly, while Cutex is the number one brand name nail polish remover with a market share of 28.5%, non-branded, private label nail polish removers account in the aggregate for 50.9% of the market. Finally, while our New-Skin liquid bandage product has a number one market position of 35.4%, the size of the liquid bandage market is relatively small, particularly when compared to the much larger bandage category. See "Market, Ranking and Other Data" at page 77 of this prospectus for information regarding market share calculations.

        We compete on the basis of numerous factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance, price and product availability at retail stores. Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging, the timing of new product introductions and line extensions also have a significant impact on customers' buying decisions and, as a result, on our sales. The structure and quality of the sales force, as well as consumption of our products affects in-store position, wall display space and inventory levels in retail outlets. If we are unable to maintain or improve the inventory levels and in-store positioning of our products in retail stores, our sales and operating results will be adversely affected. Our markets also are highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a

17



significant share of the market. An increase in the amount of product introductions by our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operating results.

        In addition, competitors may attempt to gain market share by offering products at prices at or below those typically offered by us. Competitive pricing may require us to reduce prices and may result in lost sales or reduction in our profit margins. Future price or product changes by our competitors may have a material adverse effect on us or we may be unable to react with price or product changes of our own to maintain our current market position.

We depend on a limited number of customers for a large portion of our gross sales and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce our gross sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        For the year ended March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis, excluding the Vetco acquisition, our top five and ten customers accounted for approximately 38.6% and 49.7% of our gross sales, respectively. Wal-Mart, which itself accounted for approximately 22.5% of our gross sales, is our only customer that accounted for 10% or more of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. We expect that for the year ended March 31, 2005 and future periods our top five and ten customers, including Wal-Mart, will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of our gross sales. The loss of one or more of our top customers that may account for a significant portion of our gross sales, any significant decrease in sales to these customers, or any significant decrease in our retail display space in any of these customers' stores, could reduce our gross sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        In addition, our business is based primarily upon individual sales orders, and we typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers. Accordingly, our customers could cease buying our products from us at any time and for any reason. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with our customers means that we have no recourse in the event a customer no longer wants to purchase products from us. If a significant number of our customers elect not to purchase products from us, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We depend on third parties to manufacture the products we sell. If we are unable to maintain these manufacturing relationships or enter into additional or different arrangements, we may fail to meet customer demand and our sales and profitability may suffer as a result.

        All of our products are manufactured by third parties. Without adequate supplies of merchandise to sell to our customers, sales would decrease materially and our business would suffer. In the event that manufacturers are unable or unwilling to ship products to us in a timely manner or continue to manufacture products for us, we would have to rely on other current manufacturing sources or identify and qualify new manufacturers. We might not be able to identify or qualify such manufacturers for existing or new products in a timely manner and such manufacturers might not allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, identifying alternative vendors without adequate lead times can compromise required product validation and stability work, which may involve additional manufacturing expense, delay in production or product disadvantage in the marketplace. The consequences of not securing adequate and timely supplies of merchandise would negatively impact inventory levels, sales and gross margin rates, and ultimately our results of operations.

        In addition, even if our current manufacturers continue to manufacture our products, they may not maintain adequate controls with respect to product specifications and quality and may not continue to produce products that are consistent with our standards or applicable regulatory requirements. If we

18



are forced to rely on products of inferior quality, then our brand recognition and customer satisfaction would likely suffer, which would likely lead to reduced sales. These manufacturers may also increase the cost of the products we purchase from them. If our manufacturers increase our costs, our margins would be adversely affected if we cannot pass along these increased costs to our customers.

        As of March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Bonita Bay acquisition, we sold 73 types of individual products. We do not have long-term contracts with the manufacturers of 38 of those types of individual products. These 38 products accounted for approximately 25.0% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with these manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing these products for us at any time and for any reason.

Disruption in our main distribution center may prevent us from meeting customer demand and our sales and profitability may suffer as a result.

        We manage our 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 our main distribution center could damage our inventory and could materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. We could incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times associated with distributing our products to our customers during the time that it takes for us to reopen or replace our distribution center. As a result, any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

Efforts to acquire other companies, brands or product lines may divert our managerial resources away from our business operations, and if we complete an acquisition, we may incur or assume additional liabilities or experience integration problems.

        Part of our growth has been driven by acquiring other companies and, at any given time, we may be engaged in discussions with respect to possible material acquisitions or other business combinations that are intended to enhance our product portfolio, enable us to realize cost savings and further diversify our category, customer and channel focus. Our ability to successfully grow through acquisitions depends on our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisitions and to obtain any necessary financing. These efforts could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. If we complete acquisitions, we may also experience:

19


        In addition, an acquisition could materially impair our operating results by causing us to incur debt or requiring us to amortize acquisition expenses and acquired assets.

Regulatory matters governing our industry could have a significant negative effect on our sales and operating costs.

        In both our U.S. and foreign markets, we are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. Such laws, regulations and other constraints may exist at the federal, state or local levels in the United States and at analogous levels of government in foreign jurisdictions.

        The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed and sold. If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with those regulations, we could become subject to significant penalties or claims, which could materially adversely affect our operating results or our ability to conduct our business. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, resulting in significant loss of sales revenues.

        In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDC Act, and FDA regulations, the manufacturing processes of our third party manufacturers must also comply with the FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMPs. The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs. A history of past compliance is not a guarantee that future cGMPs will not mandate other compliance steps and associated expense.

        If we or our third party manufacturers fail to comply with federal, state or foreign regulations, we could be required to:

        Any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our financial results.

        In addition, our failure to comply with FTC or state regulations, or with regulations in foreign markets that cover our product claims and advertising, including direct claims and advertising by us, may result in enforcement actions and imposition of penalties or otherwise materially and adversely affect the distribution and sale of our products.

20



Product liability claims could adversely affect our sales and operating results.

        We may be required to pay for losses or injuries purportedly caused by our products. We have been and may again be subjected to various product liability claims. Claims could be based on allegations that, among other things, our products contain contaminants, include inadequate instructions regarding their use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. For example, Denorex products contain coal tar which the State of California has determined causes cancer and our packaging contains a warning to this effect. In addition, any product liability claims may result in negative publicity that may adversely affect our sales and operating results. Also, if one of our products is found to be defective we may be required to recall it, which may result in substantial expense and adverse publicity and adversely affect our sales and operating results. Although we maintain, and require our material suppliers and manufacturers to maintain, product liability insurance coverage, potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or potential product liability claims may be excluded under the terms of the policy, which could hurt our financial condition. In addition, we may also become required to pay higher premiums and accept higher deductibles in order to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights our ability to compete effectively in the market for our products could be negatively impacted.

        The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademarks and tradenames. The trademarks and tradenames on our products are how we convey that the products we sell are "brand name" products, and we believe consumers ascribe value to our brands. We own the material trademark and tradename rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and sale of our products. This ownership is what prevents our competitors or new entrants to the market from using our valuable brand names. Therefore, trademark and tradename protection is critical to our business. Although most of our material trademarks are registered in the United States and in applicable foreign countries, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or tradename protection. If we were to lose the exclusive right to use our brand names, our sales and operating results would be materially and adversely affected. We could also incur substantial costs to defend legal actions relating to the use of our intellectual property, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

        Other parties may infringe on our intellectual property rights and may thereby dilute the value of our brands in the marketplace. If our brands become diluted, or if our competitors are able to introduce brands that cause confusion with our brands in the marketplace, it could adversely affect the value that our customers associate with our brands, and thereby negatively impact our sales. Any such infringement of our intellectual property rights would also likely result in a commitment of our time and resources to protect these rights through litigation or otherwise. In addition, third parties may assert claims against our intellectual property rights and we may not be able to successfully resolve these claims. In that event, we may lose our ability to use the brand names that were the subject of these claims, which could have a material adverse impact on our sales and operating results.

We depend on third parties for intellectual property relating to some of the products we sell, and our inability to maintain or enter into additional or future license agreements may result in our failure to meet customer demand, which would adversely affect our operating results.

        We have licenses or manufacturing agreements with third parties that own intellectual property (e.g., formulae, copyrights, trade dress, patents and other technology) used in the manufacture and sale of some of our products. In the event that any such license or manufacturing agreement is terminated

21



as a result of our breach (e.g., by our failure to pay royalties or breach of confidentiality), we may lose the right to use or have reduced rights to use the intellectual property covered by such agreement and may have to develop or obtain rights to use other intellectual property. Similarly, our rights could be reduced if the applicable licensor or contract manufacturer fails to maintain the licensed patents or trade secrets because in such event our competitors could obtain the right to use the intellectual property without restriction. If this were to occur, we might not be able to develop or obtain replacement intellectual property in a timely manner and the products modified as a result of this development may not be well-received by customers. The consequences of losing the right to use or having reduced rights to such intellectual property could negatively impact our results of operations through failure to meet customer demand for the affected products, the cost of developing or obtaining different intellectual property and possible reduction in sales of the affected products. In addition, development of replacement products may be time-consuming, expensive and ultimately may not be feasible.

We depend on our key personnel and the loss of the services provided by any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our business and results of operations.

        Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management, many of whom would be difficult to replace. These employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time. We may not be able to successfully retain existing personnel or identify, hire and integrate new personnel. While we believe we have developed depth and experience among our key personnel, our business may be adversely affected if one or more of these key individuals left. We do not maintain any key-man or similar insurance policies covering any of our senior management or key personnel.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and the significant amount of cash we must generate to service our debt will not be available to reinvest in our business.

        We have a significant amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2004, on a pro forma, as adjusted basis giving effect to this offering and the application of net proceeds therefrom, our total indebtedness, including current maturities, would have been approximately $501.2, and we would have been able to borrow an additional $55.0 million under our amended revolving credit facility. The following table sets forth on an as adjusted basis the aggregate amount of our debt payment obligations, including estimated interest, for the current fiscal year and each of the next five subsequent fiscal years (dollars in thousands):

 
  2005
  2006
  2007
  2008
  2009
  2010
  6 Year
Total

Scheduled principal payments   $ 3,730   $ 3,730   $ 3,730   $ 3,730   $ 3,730   $ 3,730   $ 22,380
Projected interest payments   $ 30,432   $ 29,787   $ 29,605   $ 29,424   $ 29,243   $ 29,061   $ 177,552
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
Total debt service   $ 34,162   $ 33,517   $ 33,335   $ 33,154   $ 32,973   $ 32,791   $ 199,932
   
 
 
 
 
 
 

        Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you as an investor in our common stock. For example, it could:

22


        The terms of the indenture governing the notes and the senior credit facility will allow us to issue and incur additional debt upon satisfaction of conditions set forth in the indenture and credit agreement. If new debt is added to current debt levels, the related risks described above could intensify.

Our operating flexibility is limited in significant respects by the restrictive covenants in the senior credit facility and the indenture governing the notes.

        The senior credit facility and the indenture governing the notes impose restrictions on us that could increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions by limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and industry. Specifically, these restrictions limit our ability to:


        Our ability to engage in these types of transactions is generally limited by the terms of the senior credit facility and the indenture governing the notes, even if we believe that a specific transaction would positively contribute to our future growth, operating results or profitability. However, if we are able to enter into these types of transactions under the terms of the senior credit facility and the indenture, or if we obtain a waiver with respect to any specific transaction, that transaction may cause our indebtedness to increase, may not result in the benefits we anticipate or may cause us to incur greater costs or suffer greater disruptions in our business than we anticipate, and could therefore negatively impact our business and operating results.

23


        In addition, the senior credit facility requires us to meet specified financial ratios. For example, we must:

        Although we believe we are on track to meet and/or maintain these financial ratios, our ability to do so may be affected by events outside our control. Covenants in our senior credit facility also require us to use 100% of the proceeds we receive from debt issuances and up to 50% of the proceeds we receive from equity issuances to repay outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facility.

        We have entered into an amendment to our credit agreement, effective upon completion of the offering, to among other things, eliminate our requirement to use proceeds from equity issuances to repay outstanding borrowings and amend the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants set forth above to require Prestige Brands to:

The senior credit facility and the indenture governing the notes contain cross-default provisions that may result in the acceleration of all our indebtedness.

        The senior credit facility and the indenture governing the notes contain provisions that allow the respective creditors to declare all outstanding borrowings under one agreement to be immediately due and payable as a result of a default under the other agreement. The result is that upon our default under one debt agreement, all indebtedness may become immediately due and payable under the senior credit facility and the indenture. Under the senior credit facility, failure to make a payment required by the indenture, among other things, may lead to an event of default under the credit agreement. Similarly, an event of default or failure to make a required payment at maturity under the senior credit facility, among other things, may lead to an event of default under the indenture. If the debt under the senior credit facility and indenture were to both be accelerated, the aggregate amount immediately due and payable as of December 31, 2004 would have been approximately $501.2 million on a pro forma, as adjusted basis giving effect to this offering and the application of net proceeds therefrom. We presently do not have sufficient liquidity to repay these borrowings if they were to be accelerated, and we may not have sufficient liquidity in the future and may not be able to borrow

24



money from other lenders to enable us to refinance the indebtedness. As of December 31, 2004, on a pro forma, as adjusted basis, the book value of our current assets would have been $64.9 million. Although the book value of our total assets was $985.2 million at December 31, 2004, on a pro forma, as adjusted basis, approximately $917.6 million was in the form of intangible assets, a significant portion of which are illiquid and may not be available to satisfy our creditors in the event our debt is accelerated.

        Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the senior credit facility, the indenture related to the notes or any other subsequent financing agreements may result in an event of default. Such default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions applies. In addition, the lenders may be able to terminate any commitments they had made to supply us with further funds.

Risks Relating to the Offering

The price of our common stock may be volatile and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the initial offering price.

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. An active and liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained following this offering. We established the initial public offering price through negotiations with the representatives of the underwriters. You should not view the price they and we establish as any indication of the price that will prevail in the trading market. The market price for our common stock may decline below the initial public offering price and our stock price is likely to be volatile. You may not be able to sell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.

        Price declines in our common stock could result from general market and economic conditions and a variety of other factors, including:

25


        In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company's securities, litigation has often been brought against that company. If litigation of this type is brought against us, it could be extremely expensive and divert management's attention and the company's resources.

If you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

        If you purchase shares in this offering, the value of your shares based on our actual book value will immediately be less than the offering price you paid. This reduction in the value of your equity is known as dilution. This dilution occurs in large part because our earlier investors paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. Investors purchasing common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $26.90 in net tangible book value per share of common stock, based on the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share. Investors will incur additional dilution upon the exercise of stock options or other equity-based awards we may issue in the future under our new equity incentive plan. In addition, if we raise funds by issuing additional securities, the newly issued shares will further dilute your percentage ownership of our company.

Requirements associated with being a public company will require significant company resources and management attention.

        We only recently became subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. We are also subject to various other regulatory requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we or our independent registered public accounting firm determine that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We have dedicated a significant amount of time and resources to ensuring compliance, but we or our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to complete the necessary work in a timely manner. In addition, upon completion of this offering, we will become subject to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

        We are working with our independent legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, internal audit, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal control over financial reporting. However, these and other measures we may take may not be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company on a timely basis.

        In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies will create additional costs for us and will require the time and attention of management. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur, the timing of such costs or the degree of impact that our management's attention to these matters will have on our business.

26



        In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors' and officers' liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

After the offering, our principal stockholders will still have the ability to control us and significantly influence our business, which may be disadvantageous to other stockholders and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

        Upon completion of the offering and the application of the proceeds therefrom, entities affiliated with GTCR collectively will beneficially own approximately 37.1% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors and any proposed merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets and other corporate transactions. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the GTCR entities and non-employee directors will not have any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business that we do. In the event that any GTCR entity or non-employee director, as the case may be, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for itself and us, the GTCR entity or non-employee director, as the case may be, will not have any duty to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to us and may pursue such corporate opportunity for itself or direct such corporate opportunity to another person. See "Description of Capital Stock—Corporate Opportunities and Transactions with GTCR." Our officers, directors and principal stockholders could delay or prevent an acquisition or merger even if the transaction would benefit other stockholders. Moreover, this concentration of stock ownership may make it difficult for stockholders to replace management. In addition, this significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders. This concentration of control could be disadvantageous to other stockholders with interests different from those of our officers, directors and principal stockholders and the trading price of shares of our common stock could be adversely affected. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders" for a more detailed description of our stock ownership.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. If there are substantial sales of our common stock or the perception that these sales could occur, the price of our common stock could decline.

        Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Upon completion of this offering, and the application of the proceeds therefrom, we will have outstanding 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Of these shares, the 28,000,000 shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market. After the lockup agreements pertaining to this offering expire 180 days from the date of this prospectus, an additional 21,861,453 shares will be available for immediate sale, and 138,547 shares will be available for sale in November 2005, in the event stockholders are entitled to tack their respective holding periods of limited liability company units, subject to applicable manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In the event that stockholders are not entitled to tack their respective holding periods of the limited liability company units, 22,000,000 shares will be available for sale approximately one year after

27



this offering, subject to applicable manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Following the expiration of the lock up period, the GTCR entities and the TCW entities will be entitled, subject to specified exceptions, to demand registration rights with respect to the registration of shares under the Securities Act. If this right is exercised, holders of all shares subject to the registration rights agreement will be entitled to participate in such registration. By exercising their registration rights, and selling a large number of shares, these holders could cause the price of our common stock to decline. An estimated 22,000,000 million shares of common stock will be subject to our registration rights agreement upon completion of the offering. See "Shares Eligible for Future Resale" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could discourage another company from acquiring us and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

        Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace or remove our board of directors. These provisions include:

28

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of 28,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs of approximately $4.0 million payable by us, will be approximately $416.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering plus $5.0 million from our revolving credit facility and $6.8 million of cash on hand to repay $100.0 million of our existing senior indebtedness (plus a repayment premium of $3.0 million and accrued interest of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2004), to redeem $84.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our existing 91/4% senior subordinated notes (plus a redemption premium of $7.8 million and accrued interest of $1.7 million as of December 31, 2004), to contribute $197.8 million to Prestige International Holdings, LLC, which will then use such proceeds to redeem all of its outstanding senior preferred units and class B preferred units and to repurchase an aggregate of 4,397,950 shares of our common stock held by the GTCR funds and the TCW/Crescent funds for $32.2 million. Prestige International Holdings, LLC is repurchasing the senior preferred units and class B preferred units to eliminate them from our post-offering capital structure and to provide liquidity to their holders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised.

        As of December 31, 2004, the existing indebtedness to be repaid from a portion of the net proceeds from this offering and the senior preferred units and class B preferred units to be redeemed from a portion of the net proceeds consisted of the following:

        As of December 31, 2004, the number, aggregate liquidation value, including accrued but unpaid yield, and holders of our senior preferred units and class B preferred units outstanding that we will redeem with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering were as follows:

30



        An affiliate of Merrill Lynch is a lender under our senior credit facility and affiliates of Merrill Lynch, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan have also provided commitments under the amended senior credit facility. See "Underwriting—Other Relationships."

31



REORGANIZATION AS A CORPORATION

        Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the shares of which are being sold to the public in this offering, is the direct parent company of Prestige International Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which was our former top-tier holding company. We refer to Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. as "Prestige Inc." and Prestige International Holdings, LLC as "Prestige LLC" in this section of the prospectus. Prestige Inc. became the direct parent of Prestige LLC pursuant to a reorganization that took place prior to the completion of this offering. The reorganization will not affect our operations, which we will continue to conduct through our operating subsidiaries.

        The reorganization was effected under the terms of an exchange agreement among Prestige Inc., Prestige LLC and each holder of common units of Prestige LLC. Pursuant to the agreement, the holders of common units of Prestige LLC exchanged all their common units for an aggregate of 26,666,667 shares of common stock of Prestige Inc. In addition, pursuant to the reorganization, members of our management team and other employees will contribute an aggregate of 268,717 shares of common stock to Prestige Inc. for no consideration at the completion of the offering. After completion of this offering, Prestige Inc. will contribute a portion of the net proceeds therefrom to Prestige LLC, which will then use such proceeds to redeem all of its senior preferred units and class B preferred units, thus causing Prestige LLC to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Prestige Inc. After completion of this offering, Prestige Inc. will also use a portion of the net proceeds therefrom to repurchase an aggregate of 4,397,950 shares of common stock from the GTCR funds and the TCW/Crescent funds. See "Use of Proceeds."

        After the reorganization and the completion of this offering and the application of net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," the existing equity investors will own 22,000,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 44% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, and we will have no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. In the event that the underwriters elect to exercise the over-allotment option in full, the existing equity investors will sell 4,200,000 shares of common stock they received in connection with the reorganization. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders" for more information regarding the ownership of our common stock.

DILUTION

        Our net tangible book value (deficit) as of December 31, 2004 was $(728.7) million, or $(27.33) per share of common stock, after giving effect to the reorganization, but prior to this offering. Net tangible book value per share represents, prior to the sale of the 28,000,000 shares of common stock offered in this offering, the amount of our total tangible assets less the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2004, after giving effect to the reorganization, but prior to this offering. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by investors in this offering and the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

        After giving effect to our sale of the 28,000,000 shares of common stock offered in this offering, based upon the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) as of December 31, 2004 would have been approximately $(544.9) million, or $(10.90) per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value to our existing stockholders of $16.43 per share and an immediate dilution to new investors in this offering of $26.90 per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution in pro forma net tangible book value to new investors:

Initial public offering price per share       $ 16.00  
  Net tangible book value (deficit) per share as of December 31, 2004   (27.33 )      
  Increase per share attributable to new investors   16.43        
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering         (10.90 )
       
 
Dilution per share to new investors       $ 26.90  
       
 

        The following table summarizes, as of December 31, 2004 on an as adjusted basis, the differences between our existing stockholders and investors in this offering with respect to the total number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the aggregate cash consideration paid to us, the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and the average price per share paid by new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. The calculation below is based on an offering price of $16.00 per share, before deducting estimated underwriting and offering expenses payable by us:

 
  Shares Purchased
  Total Consideration
   
 
  Average Price
Per Share

 
  Number
  Percent
  Number
  Percent
Existing stockholders   22,000,000   44.0 % $ 6,013,179   1.3 % $ 0.27
New public investors   28,000,000   56.0 % $ 448,000,000   98.7 % $ 16.00
   
 
 
 
 
  Total   50,000,000   100 % $ 454,013,179   100 % $ 9.08
   
 
 
 
 

        The foregoing discussion and tables assume no exercise of the 5,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, you will incur additional dilution if we grant options, warrants or other rights to purchase our common stock in the future with exercise prices below the initial public offering price.

        If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, our existing stockholders would own approximately 35.6% and our new investors would own approximately 64.4% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering.

34




DIVIDEND POLICY

        We have not in the past paid, and do not expect for the foreseeable future, to pay dividends on our common stock. Instead, we anticipate that all of our earnings in the foreseeable future will be used in the operation and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and contractual restrictions, including restrictions under our senior credit facility and the indenture governing our 91/4% senior subordinated notes, and any other considerations our board of directors deems relevant.

35



UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

        The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma combined financial data for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

        The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 gives effect to the corporate reorganization and the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of 28,000,000 shares of common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, and the application of the net proceeds as described under "Use of Proceeds," as if each had occurred on that date. The historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 already reflects the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition, the Vetco acquisition and related financing transactions. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition, the Vetco acquisition, the corporate reorganization and the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of 28,000,000 shares of common stock offered in this offering and the application of the net proceeds as described under "Use of Proceeds," as if each had occurred on April 1, 2003. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Bonita Bay acquisition, the Vetco acquisition, the corporate reorganization and the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of 28,000,000 shares of common stock offered in this offering and the application of the net proceeds as described under "Use of Proceeds," as if each had occurred on April 1, 2003. Bonita Bay, Spic and Span and Vetco have historically utilized a December 31 fiscal year; for purposes of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 data presented herein, a historical December 31, 2003 period was used for these businesses. There were no significant unusual charges or adjustments during the three month period ended March 31, 2004 for Spic and Span, Bonita Bay or Vetco that would have had a material effect on the pro forma results of operations.

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial data and accompanying notes are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition and the Vetco acquisition been consummated on the dates indicated above, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations.

        The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined financial data are based upon available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable and exclude the following non-recurring charges that will be incurred in connection with the reorganization and offering and recognized in the 12 months following the offering:

        The following information is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Selected Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

PRESTIGE BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
(dollars in thousands)

(a)
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared to reflect the application of purchase accounting under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" for the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex, Spic and Span, Bonita Bay and Vetco. Spic and Span's, Bonita Bay's and Vetco's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 have been combined with the audited financial statements of the predecessor for the period April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the audited financial statements of Prestige Holdings for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 in arriving at the pro forma fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. There were no significant unusual charges or adjustments during the three month period ended March 31, 2004 for Spic and Span, Bonita Bay or Vetco that would have had a material effect on the pro forma results of operations.

(b)
Medtech acquired Spic and Span on March 5, 2004. Therefore, the operating results for Spic and Span are included in the operating results of Prestige Holdings for the period from March 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. Because Spic and Span's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 are included in the pro forma fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, a full year of Spic and Span operating results are already included in the pro forma presentation. The adjustment reflects the elimination of Spic and Span's operating results from March 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004.

(c)
Reflects the elimination of revenue and the associated expense related to a service agreement between Medtech and Spic and Span in place prior to Medtech's acquisition of Spic and Span.

Net adjustment to interest expense   $ 14,745   $ 11,059  
   
 
 
(k)
Represents license fees historically paid to Medtech IP L.L.C., or "Labs LLC," which owned the rights to certain brands utilized by Medtech prior to the Medtech acquisition. In connection with the Medtech acquisition, Medtech acquired the rights to the brands owned by Labs LLC. Accordingly, monthly license fees will no longer exist.

(l)
Reflects the elimination of transaction bonuses paid to members of management as a direct result of successfully completing the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span transactions. This adjustment eliminates the expense recognized for pro forma presentation purposes as it is directly attributable to the Medtech acquisition and the Spic and Span acquisition and is not expected to recur in the future.

(m)
Reflects the elimination of the aggregate management and advisory fees paid by Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span to the Shansby Group ($2,480) and by Bonita Bay to its former investors ($640). Offsetting the elimination are management and advisory fees of $4.0 million that will be paid on a prospective basis to the new equity investors of the combined entities.

(n)
Reflects the elimination of the management and advisory fees paid by Prestige to GTCR. In connection with the offering, the management and advisory agreement will be terminated.

Prestige Holdings acquired Vetco on October 6, 2004. Therefore, the balances for Vetco represent the pre-acquisition operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2004.

(p)
Reflects the elimination of an annual bonus paid to the former owner of Vetco. In connection with the Vetco acquisition, the former owner of Vetco entered into an employment contract with us. The terms of the contract preclude a bonus of this nature to be paid in the future.

(q)
Reflects the elimination of the expense associated with the write-off of Medtech acquisition financing fees. The write-off of these fees was directly attributable to the refinancing of existing debt in conjunction with the Bonita Bay acquisition.

(r)
Reflects the income tax adjustment required to result in a pro forma tax provision based on: (i) the companies' historical tax provision using historical amounts and (ii) the direct tax effects of the pro forma adjustments described herein at an estimated 38% effective rate.

(s)
Prior to its acquisition, Vetco had elected to be treated as an S corporation for tax purposes. As a result, the tax effects of Vetco's operations were passed directly to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the historical Vetco financial statements. The adjustment reflects the estimated tax effect on Vetco's pre-tax income, assuming a 38% effective rate.

Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc.

        The following table sets forth selected historical financial data of Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc., the direct parent of Prestige Brands International, Inc. We have derived the selected historical consolidated financial data as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 from the audited financial statements of Bonita Bay contained elsewhere in this prospectus. The selected historical consolidated financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for such period, which are not included in this prospectus. The audited consolidated financial statements not appearing in this prospectus were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, which ceased practicing before the SEC on August 31, 2002. As a result of its conviction in June 2002 for obstruction of justice and other lawsuits, Arthur Andersen LLP may fail or otherwise have insufficient assets to satisfy any claims made by investors or by us relating to any alleged material misstatement or omission with respect to such audited consolidated financial statements. We have derived the selected historical financial data for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 from the unaudited financial statements and the related notes of Bonita Bay included elsewhere in this prospectus. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results.

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 "Selected Financial Data," "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data" and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Future results could differ materially from the discussion below for many reasons, including the factors described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Tables and other data in this section may not total due to rounding.

General

        Overview.    We sell well-recognized, brand name consumer products in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. Our products are sold by mass merchandisers, and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores.

        Since completing the Medtech acquisition and the Bonita Bay acquisition, we conduct our operations through three principal business segments: over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care. The following table identifies and sets forth historical gross sales information with respect to the major brands within each of our segments:

(1)
The data for the fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004 is derived from the financial data for the fiscal year ended December 31 of the prior year for Bonita Bay (Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Murine and Comet), Spic and Span and Vetco (Little Remedies brands) and March 31 for Medtech (Compound W, New-Skin and Cutex) and Denorex. Prestige Holdings and each of its subsidiaries currently operate on a 52-week fiscal year ending on March 31.

(2)
Except for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, gross sales for these brands are not included in the historical financial statements of Prestige Holdings because we acquired Bonita Bay on April 6, 2004, which is after our most recent fiscal year end.

(3)
Brand level sales not available for period when brand was under prior ownership.

(4)
Gross sales for this brand are not included in the historical financial statements of Prestige Holdings because we acquired Vetco on October 6, 2004, which is after our most recent fiscal year end.

        Acquisition-Related Synergies.    We have implemented a number of transaction-related cost reductions that have resulted in a positive annualized effect on our operating results when compared to recent operating history of Medtech, Denorex, Spic and Span, Bonita Bay and Vetco as separate companies. We believe these expenses will not recur in future periods after implementation of such cost reduction measures. These adjustments are reflected in note (2) to the table in "Summary—Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data." These cost savings include those items set forth in the table below. The cost savings shown in note (2) referenced above are given effect as if they had occurred on April 1, 2003 and have not been adjusted to reflect additional expenses that we expect also to incur in future periods, including interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other expenses, $2.8 million of estimated one-time integration costs, and $4.0 million of management fees to GTCR. Our agreement to pay management fees to GTCR will be terminated prior to the completion of this offering. In addition, while we believe the following estimated expenses will not recur in future periods after implementation of these cost saving measures, we may incur other expenses similar to the expenses set forth below in future periods.

(a)
We have undertaken a detailed review of the combined operations of Medtech, Denorex, Spic and Span and Bonita Bay and identified areas of overlap and cost savings. Set forth below is a summary of such savings:

(i)
We have eliminated approximately 27 full-time equivalent positions as part of a permanent headcount reduction of our employees in connection with the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition and the Vetco acquisition.

(ii)
We have contracted with one logistics services provider, which provides warehouse services such as receiving, storage, processing, tracking and shipping, that has allowed us to consolidate from the three logistics services providers, including three warehouses, that historically served the companies. This adjustment represents the cost savings of placing all our collective warehouse and distribution needs with this service provider.

(iii)
We have contracted with one advertising agency, one brokerage structure and one media buying group that are handling the collective sales and marketing needs for the combined companies following the Medtech acquisition, the Bonita Bay acquisition and the Vetco acquisition. Additionally, we have eliminated certain corporate overhead costs, principally legal, banking and insurance, that upon completion of the Medtech acquisition and the Bonita Bay acquisition were no longer required for each of the separate companies. This adjustment represents the net impact of placing all of our advertising and media buying needs under Medtech's existing contracts, moving the existing brokerage arrangements for all our other

51


        Purchase Accounting Effects.    The acquisitions of Medtech, Spic and Span, Bonita Bay and Vetco have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." As a result, these acquisitions will affect our future results of operations in significant respects. The aggregate acquisition consideration has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by us based upon their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, due to the effects of the increased borrowings to finance the acquisitions, our interest expense will increase significantly in the periods following the acquisitions. For more information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

        Use of the term "pro forma" throughout the following discussion reflects the unaudited results of our operations as if the Spic and Span acquisition and the Bonita Bay acquisition had both been completed on April 1, 2003, without giving effect to the Vetco acquisition, which is not considered material to the pro forma results.

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $162.6 million, or 260.6%, from $62.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $225.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The sales increase is driven by the acquisitions of Spic and Span, Bonita Bay and Vetco in March 2004, April 2004 and October 2004, respectively. The Over-the-Counter Drug Category had net sales of $121.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $82.5 million over net sales of $39.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The Personal Care Category had net sales of $25.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to net sales of $22.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The Household Cleaning Category, which was acquired as part of the Spic and Span and Bonita Bay acquisitions, had sales of $77.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to no sales during the same quarter of the prior year. On a pro forma basis, net sales increased by $9.6 million, or 4.4%, from $215.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $225.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    On a pro forma basis, the increase in overall net sales was driven by the Over-the-Counter Drug Category which had net sales of $121.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to net sales of $108.4 million in the prior year. The Compound W (+$11.5 million) and Clear eyes (+$6.4 million) brands exhibited strong sales growth for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. Partially offsetting the strong sales performance for those two brands were declines in sales for the Chloraseptic (-$4.6 million) and Murine (-$3.6 million) brands. The Little Remedies brands, acquired in the Vetco acquisition, contributed $4.4 million to the nine month over-the-counter sales.

        Personal Care Category.    On a pro forma basis, the Personal Care Category showed a sales decline of $2.6 million, or 9.3%, from $28.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $25.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in sales was driven by declines for Cutex and Denorex. The Cutex decline reflects a decline for the entire nail polish category in 2004 versus the prior year. The decline in Denorex sales reflects market share losses from 2003.

        Household Cleaning Category.    On a pro forma basis, the Household Cleaning Category had a sales decline of $1.1 million, or 1.4%, from $78.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $77.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The decline in sales was due to a decline in Comet, partially offset by an increase for Spic and Span. Comet sales decreased by $2.5 million, or 3.9%, from $63.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $60.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. Spic and Span sales increased by $1.4 million, or 9.2% from $15.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $16.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $78.3 million, or 201.7%, from $38.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $117.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. This increase is driven primarily by the sales increase. As a percentage of sales, gross profit declined from 62.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to 52.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales is driven by two factors. The nine months ended December 31, 2004 included $5.3 million of charges due to step-ups in inventory

53



related to purchase accounting. The second reason for the deterioration in gross margin percentage is the addition of the Household Cleaning Category in the current year. Gross margins in the Household Cleaning Category are significantly lower than gross margins for the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and Personal Care Category.

        On a pro forma basis, gross profit decreased by $4.2 million, or 3.4%, from $121.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $117.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in gross profit on a pro forma basis is primarily due to charges related to an inventory step-up of $5.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to an inventory step-up of $1.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2003. Excluding the inventory step-up, gross profit would be flat at $122.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    On a pro forma basis, the Over-the-Counter Drug Category's gross profit increased by $3.0 million, or 4.2%, from $72.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $75.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to the sales increase. Excluding the inventory step-up of $1.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and $2.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, gross profit would have increased by $4.5 million, or 6.1%, from $73.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $77.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase (excluding inventory step-up) was due to the sales increase.

        Personal Care Category.    On a pro forma basis, the Personal Care Category's gross profit declined by $2.1 million, or 14.1%, from $14.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $12.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. Excluding charges related to the inventory step-up of $0.2 million during the current year, gross profit declined by $1.9 million, or 12.4%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 versus the same period last year. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to the sales decline for the category.

        Household Cleaning Category.    On a pro forma basis, the Household Cleaning Category's gross profit decreased by $4.8 million, or 14.1%, from $34.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $29.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. Excluding the charges related to the inventory step-up of $2.4 million during the current year, gross profit declined by $2.4 million, or 7.0%, from $34.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $31.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The decline in gross profit is due to lower sales, close-out sales related to Comet Clean & Flush and increased shipments to lower margin dollar stores.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $58.9 million, or 219.7%, from $26.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $85.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was due to the increased gross profit discussed above, partially offset by increased advertising and selling expenses associated with the acquisition of the Spic and Span and Bonita Bay brands.

        On a pro forma basis, contribution margin increased by $2.4 million, or 3.0%, from $83.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $85.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was the result of the net sales increase combined with a decrease in overall advertising and selling expenses. The decrease in advertising and selling expenses in the current year is due to a synergy savings related to advertising agency fees, media buying and broker commissions. In addition, $2.0 million of advertising and selling expenses related to the Comet disposable toilet bowl brush in fiscal year 2003 were not repeated in fiscal year 2004.

54



        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Pro forma contribution margin for the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, excluding the inventory step-up, increased by $4.5 million, or 8.3%, from $53.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $58.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in pro forma contribution margin was driven by the sales increase.

        Personal Care Category.    Pro forma contribution margin for the Personal Care Category, excluding the inventory step-up of $0.2 million mentioned above, increased by $0.2 million, or 2.2%, from $7.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $7.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Excluding the inventory step-up of $2.4 million mentioned above, pro forma contribution margin for the Household Cleaning Category increased by $2.1 million, or 9.3%, from $23.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $25.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was driven by the reduction in advertising and promotional support on the Comet disposable toilet bowl brush in fiscal year 2004 compared to fiscal year 2003.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $7.3 million, or 93.4%, from $7.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $15.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the additional expenses associated with adding the brands acquired in the Bonita Bay, Spic and Span and Vetco acquisitions to the portfolio. The acquisitions resulted in increases to most general and administrative line items including compensation, office space, insurance costs, legal and accounting expenses. In addition, the decision to abandon our proposed IDS offering during the quarter resulted in recognition of $0.6 million of IDS related legal and accounting expenses in the period ending December 31, 2004.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense.    Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.2 million, or 81.0%, from $3.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $7.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily due to amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions and an increase in depreciation related to the Bonita Bay acquisition.

        Interest Expense, net.    Net interest expense increased by $27.4 million, or 418.3%, from $6.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 to $33.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the increased levels of indebtedness outstanding after the acquisitions.

        Other Expense.    Other expense of $7.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was comprised of a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of deferred financing costs and discount on debt associated with the borrowings incurred to finance the Medtech acquistion.

        Income Taxes.    The income tax provision for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was $8.3 million, with an effective rate of 37.9% compared to a provision of $3.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, with an effective rate of 39.5%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rates is primarily due to state income taxes.

Represents revenues related to the provision of administrative, technology and support services to Spic and Span prior to our acquisition of Spic and Span.

        The information presented above for net sales, gross profit and contribution margin for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 is derived from comparing (1) the historical financial statements of the predecessor company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to (2) the sum of the historical financial statements of the predecessor company for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 plus the results of Prestige Holdings for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004.

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $11.5 million, or 15.0%, from $76.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $87.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net sales included a $12.3 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and the $2.1 million

impact of Spic and Span (Household Cleaning Category) from the acquisition date of March 5, 2004, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in the Personal Care Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales increased by $12.3 million, or 28.5%, from $43.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $55.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net sales was primarily due to new products introduced during the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. New products, led by Compound W Freeze Off, contributed $10.6 million of the increase. The remainder of the increase was driven by increased domestic sales of: (i) Compound W of $0.7 million, or 5.2%, from $13.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $14.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to increasing market share; and (ii) New-Skin of $0.8 million, or 9.2%, from $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $9.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 driven by high levels of advertising by Johnson & Johnson in support of their liquid bandage product. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Dermoplast® sales of $0.6 million, or 6.9%, from $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was due to lower demand in the beginning of fiscal 2004 following a very strong March 2003 due to wholesale accounts purchasing heavily in advance of a price increase.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales decreased by $2.9 million, or 8.9%, from $32.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $29.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to Denorex, which experienced a sales decline of $2.7 million, or 17.4%, from $15.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $12.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The sales decline resulted from a decrease in market share.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $2.6 million, or 5.5%, from $49.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $51.6 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit included a $4.3 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and a $0.9 million increase due to the impact of Spic and Span within the new Household Cleaning segment effective March 5, 2004, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the Personal Care Category. Included in the cost of goods sold for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 was a $1.8 million charge related to the step-up of inventory at the time of the acquisition of the business by GTCR.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $4.3 million, or 14.0%, from $30.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $34.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to the sales increase partially offset by the increased cost of goods related to the inventory step-up at the time of the acquisition. Excluding the acquisition related expenses of $1.2 million, gross profit as a percent of net sales declined from 70.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to 64.8% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The percentage decline is due to the very strong sales of Compound W Freeze Off, which has a higher cost of goods as a percent of sales than the other products in the category.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit decreased by $2.5 million, or 13.8%, from $17.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $15.5 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. Excluding the acquisition related expenses of $0.6 million, gross profit as a percent of sales decreased slightly, from 54.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to 53.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The decline is due to product mix as the Denorex line, which experienced a sales decline of $2.7 million as previously discussed, has a higher gross profit margin than the rest of the products in the Personal Care line.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $2.7 million, or 7.7%, from $34.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $37.4 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004.

57



The net increase in contribution margin included a $4.4 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and $0.7 million of contribution margin related to Spic and Span (Household Cleaning Category), partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in the Personal Care Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin increased by $4.4 million, or 18.8%, from $23.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $27.6 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was due to the gross profit increase discussed above.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin decreased by $2.4 million, or 21.2%, from $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $8.7 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in contribution margin was due to the gross profit decrease discussed above.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses were $12.1 million (15.9% of net sales) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, $9.4 million (13.7% of net sales) for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $1.6 million (8.8% of net sales) for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The overall decrease in gross general and administrative dollars and as a percentage of sales over each period is due primarily to the company's ability to add Spic and Span with virtually no incremental overhead and the impact of increased sales on a relatively fixed base of general and administrative costs.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense.    Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.3 million (6.9% of net sales) for the fiscal year end March 31, 2003, $4.5 million (6.5% of net sales) for the period from April 1 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $0.9 million (5.0% of net sales) for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The increase in gross dollars is due primarily to amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense, net was $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, $8.2 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $1.7 million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The overall increase in interest expense, net, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 is due primarily to the increase in net indebtedness due to the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span acquisitions.

        Other Expense.    Other expense was $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The other expense in fiscal year 2003 was comprised of a loss on extinguishment of debt.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 was $1.7 million with an effective rate of 41.3%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to changes in the valuation allowance, state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit) and the amortization of intangible assets. The tax provision for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 was $1.1 million with an effective rate of 37.1%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit.

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $30.2 million, or 65.4%, from $46.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $76.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales included a $12.2 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $18.2 million increase in the Personal Care Category.

58


        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales increased by $12.2 million, or 39.2%, from $31.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 to $43.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales primarily relates to the impact of new products and management focus on the base business. Due to product enhancements such as Compound W One-Step pads and water proof pads combined with higher impact packaging and increased media and consumer promotion support, net sales for Compound W grew 29.2% from $11.5 million in fiscal year 2002 to $14.9 million in fiscal year 2003. New-Skin net sales more than doubled from $3.9 million in fiscal year 2002 to $9.2 million in fiscal year 2003. This increase was the result of increased levels of television advertising from previous years and heightened category awareness due to the introduction of Johnson & Johnson's Liquid Bandage. Dermoplast net sales increased 53.2% from $5.7 million in fiscal year 2002 to $8.7 million in fiscal year 2003. Of this increase $1.2 million resulted from a 5% price increase which was implemented for the hospital channel effective April 1, 2003. The anticipated price increase resulted in increased sales in March. The remaining $1.8 million increase in Dermoplast net sales resulted from increased distribution at retail.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales increased by $18.2 million, or 125.0%, from $14.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $32.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales primarily relates to the acquisition of the Denorex brand in February 2002. Due to the timing of the acquisition, less than two months of sales activity was included in the fiscal year 2002 operating results, compared to a full year in 2003. Net sales attributable to Denorex increased $13.6 million, from $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $15.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The remaining net sales increase is due to moderate organic growth within all brands, primarily Cutex.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $21.5 million, or 78.0%, from $27.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $49.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit included a $9.0 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $12.6 million increase in the Personal Care Category. Gross margin increased from 59.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to 64.1% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This is due in part to the increase in sales for the Over-the-Counter Drug Category that has a higher gross margin.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $9.0 million, or 41.7%, from $21.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $30.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due to the significant net sales increase, as well as an improvement in gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin increased from 69.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to 70.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to favorable product mix as New-Skin has the highest profit margin of all products in the segment.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit increased by $12.6 million, or 236.1%, from $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $17.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due to the acquisition of the Denorex brand in February 2002. Denorex generated incremental gross profit of $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The remaining gross profit increase is due to an increase in Cutex sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit improved from 36.6% in fiscal year 2002 to 54.7% in fiscal year 2003. The improvement is due to favorable product mix in fiscal year 2003, primarily resulting from the acquisition of Denorex.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $12.4 million, or 55.8%, from $22.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $34.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The net increase in contribution margin profit included a $5.9 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $6.7 million increase in the Personal Care Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin increased by $5.9 million, or 34.3%, from $17.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $23.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in contribution margin was due to the improved gross profit discussed above, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in A&P expenses. The increased A&P expenses are due to higher levels of television advertising, primarily related to the Compound W and New-Skin brands, as well as increased levels of consumer promotion across all brands. As a percentage of sales, contribution margin decreased from 55.6% in fiscal year 2002 to 53.7% in fiscal year 2003.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin increased by $6.6 million, or 149.8%, from $4.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in contribution margin is primarily due to the Denorex acquisition, which generated incremental contribution margin of $6.2 million in fiscal year 2003, as well as the reduced level of product returns at Cutex. As a percentage of sales, contribution margin increased from 30.4% in fiscal year 2002 to 33.8% in fiscal year 2003, which is due to favorable product mix, partially offset by increased A&P expenses associated with Denorex.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 40.8%, from $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $12.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a full year of Denorex activity during 2003 compared to approximately two months in 2002.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense.    Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.3 million, or 32.1%, from $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase relates to the acquisition of Denorex.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense increased by $0.9 million, or 11.2% from $8.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 21, 2002 to $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due to inclusion of a full year of Denorex debt interest expense, as compared to approximately two months in 2002.

        Other Expense.    Other expenses of $0.7 million during fiscal year 2003 were comprised of a loss on extinguishment of debt.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for fiscal year 2003 was $3.9 million with an effective tax rate of 56.5%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to changes in the valuation allowance, the federal benefit of deductible state taxes, a change in the effective state tax rate and the amortization of intangible assets. The tax provision for fiscal year 2002 was $0.3 million with an effective tax rate of 33.2%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% relates primarily to the change in the effective state tax rate and the impact of placing a valuation allowance on the usage of the Denorex net operating loss carryforward.

        Discontinued Operations.    Results of discontinued operations was a loss of $5.6 million (net of tax) in fiscal year 2003 compared to a loss of less than $0.1 million (net of tax) in fiscal year 2002. The loss in fiscal year 2003 was attributed to loss from the discontinued Pecos reporting unit of $3.4 million (net of tax) coupled with a loss on disposal of Pecos of $2.2 million (net of tax).

        Net Sales.    Net sales declined by $0.9 million, or 2.5%, from $36.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net sales included decreases of $0.5 million in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, $0.3 million in the Personal Care Category and $0.1 million in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.8%, from $17.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to Chloraseptic, which experienced a sales decline of $0.7 million, or 11.9%, from $5.8 million to $5.1 million. The decline in sales was attributable to the abrupt end of the cold and flu season in December 2003, resulting in declines for the sore throat category in the January to March 2004 period.

        Partially offsetting the Chloraseptic decline was an increase in sales for the Clear Eyes and Murine brands. Sales increased by $0.2 million, or 1.7%, from $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales declined by $0.3 million, or 15.6%, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of the discontinuation of the Prell® Spa product line in late 2002.

61



        Household Cleaning Category.    Net sales decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from $16.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 due to an increase in allowances and coupon expenses related to new product introductions, partially offset by an increase in gross sales.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.9%, from $16.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The net decrease in gross profit included an increase of $1.6 million in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and an increase of $0.1 million in the Personal Care Category, offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $1.6 million, or 16.8%, from $9.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to the increased costs of goods related to Clear Eyes and Murine in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 attributable to an inventory write up of $1.8 million at the time of the acquisition from Abbott in December of 2002. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was 66.4%. Excluding the $1.8 million of Clear Eyes and Murine inventory write up, the gross profit as a percent to sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was 65.6%. The improvement in the current quarter is due to product mix, as Clear Eyes/Murine generates a higher gross profit margin than Chloraseptic.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit increased by $0.1 million, or 14.9%, from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 despite the sales decrease. The increase in gross profit resulted from the lack of close-out sales in 2004. Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 included a significant amount of the discontinued Prell Spa Shampoo and Conditioner which were sold at low margins.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Gross profit decreased by $2.2 million, or 34.5%, from $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in couponing and trade promotion expenses discussed in net sales, above, and an increase in the reserve for obsolescence of $1.2 million over the reserve at the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin decreased by $1.1 million, or 8.9%, from $12.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The net decrease in contribution margin included a $2.7 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and a $0.2 million increase in the Personal Care Category, offset by a $4.0 million decrease in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin increased by $2.7 million, or 42.5%, from $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution is attributed to the $1.6 million increase in gross profit plus a decrease in Chloraseptic advertising of $0.9 million from $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin increased by $0.2 million, or 58.2%, from $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was due to the gross margin increase plus a reduction of $0.1 million in consumer promotion due to a change in advertising programs.

62



        Household Cleaning Category.    Contribution margin decreased by $4.0 million, or 70.7%, from $5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in margin was due to the gross profit decline of $2.2 million and an increase in advertising and coupon placement expenses of $1.8 million from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in advertising in 2004 was in support of the new products launched in the fall of 2003.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 20.0%, from $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to the discontinuation of the Clear Eyes and Murine transition services agreement during the latter part of 2003. The transition services expense decreased from $0.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.    Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 23.5%, from $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was due to a reduction in depreciation expenses.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense, net decreased by $0.6 million, or 14.6%, from $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in interest expense is a function of the outstanding debt, which decreased as a result of using excess cash flow to pay down debt since the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1.9 million with an effective rate of 38.9%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit. The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $1.8 million with an effective rate of 36.3%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes, net of federal tax benefit.

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $56.5 million, or 51.1%, from $110.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $167.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net sales included a $56.5 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $1.8 million decrease in the Personal Care Category and a $1.8 million increase in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales increased by $56.5 million, or 210.5%, from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $83.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Clear eyes and Murine, which was effective December 30, 2002 and contributed $47.8 million of net sales to the year ended December 31, 2003. New product introductions, which increased market share and a strong cold and flu season attributed to an increase in Chloraseptic net sales of $8.7 million, or 32.6% from 2002 to 2003. The introduction of Relief Strips and the Pocket Pump contributed $3.7 million and $1.2 million to net sales, respectively.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales declined by $1.8 million, or 20.7% from $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of the 2002 discontinuation of the Prell Spa product line.

63



        Household Cleaning Category.    Net sales increased by $1.8 million, or 2.4%, from $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $77.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily the result of the introduction of Comet Clean and Flush in October 2003 representing $2.8 million of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2003. Bonita Bay also introduced the Comet Orange Brite™ Bathroom Spray and Orange Oxygenated Soft Powder in 2003, which generated $0.7 million of net sales in the year ended December 31, 2003. The increases related to new products were partially offset by a decline in overall industry net sales for Comet's core category.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $32.3 million, or 62.0%, from $52.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $84.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The net increase in gross profit included a $34.0 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.1 million decrease in the Personal Care Category and a $1.6 million decrease in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $34.0 million, or 198.3%, from $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due, in part, to inclusion of a full fiscal year of Clear eyes and Murine sales in 2003. New product introductions contributed $2.4 million to 2003 gross profit with Relief Strips and Pocket Pump contributing $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Increased gross profit of Chloraseptic contributed $3.2 million. Overall gross margin declined from 64.0% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 61.5% for 2003. This decline was due to lower margins on Chloraseptic as a result of higher than normal product liquidations, which generated lower margins as well as higher costs associated with the new Chloraseptic products.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million, or 4.8%, from $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decline in gross profit was due to a decline in sales. Gross margin increased from 32.6% to 39.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Gross profit decreased by $1.6 million, or 5.1%, from $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $30.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The gross profit attributable to Comet Clean and Flush was $1.1 million in 2003, which was more than offset by lower gross profit margins on other products. Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased from 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 39.6% for the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of changes in product mix and higher discounts.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $22.9 million, or 54.5%, from $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $64.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The net increase in contribution margin included a $26.9 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.5 million increase in the Personal Care Category and a $4.5 million decrease in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin increased by $26.9 million, or 219.6%, from $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. A&P expenses increased $7.1 million, or 144.9%, from $4.9 million to $12.0 million, which was attributable to $6.3 million for Clear eyes and Murine as well as $0.8 million for Chloraseptic. Overall contribution margin as a percentage of net sales increased from 45.7% to 47.1% for the year ended December 31, 2002 versus 2003. This increase was the result of adding the Clear eyes and Murine product line.

64



        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin increased by $0.5 million, or 51.1%, from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. A&P expenses declined $0.6 million, or 32.2%, from $1.8 million to $1.2 million during the period, which was due to an overall reduction in Prell brand spending.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Contribution margin decreased by $4.5 million, or 15.6%, from $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in contribution margin was primarily due to an increase in A&P expenses of $2.9 million, or 84.6%, from $3.4 million to $6.3 million. Comet Clean and Flush product development and marketing costs totaling $1.2 million as well as a mid-year advertising campaign for Comet Spray contributed to the higher A&P expenses. Overall contribution margin as a percentage of net sales declined from 38.2% to 31.5% for these reasons.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 75.2%, from $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of the Clear eyes and Murine acquisition.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense, net increased by $9.3 million, or 116.1%, from $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in interest expense is a function of the outstanding debt, which increased as a result of the Clear eyes and Murine acquisition.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for fiscal year 2003 was $13.8 million with an effective tax rate of 38.3%. The tax provision for fiscal year 2002 was $11.1 million with an effective tax rate of 40.1%. The difference in both instances between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes, net of the federal benefit.

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $55.6 million, or 101.1%, from $55.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $110.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The net increase in net sales was comprised of a $0.4 million decrease in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.8 million decrease in the Personal Care Category and a $56.9 million increase in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.6%, from $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in net sales was primarily a result of a very weak cough and cold season.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales decreased $0.8 million, or 9.1%, from $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decline in net sales was primarily attributable to the strong opening orders for the launch of Prell Spa formula in 2001.

65


        Household Cleaning Category.    Net sales increased by $56.9 million, or 307.4%, from $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net sales was due to the acquisition of Comet by Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. effective October 2, 2001, which resulted in the inclusion of only three months of post-acquisition results in 2001 compared with a full year in 2002.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $23.6 million, or 83.0%, from $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $52.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The net increase in gross profit included a $0.2 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.8 million decrease in the Personal Care Category and a $24.2 million increase in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $0.2 million, or 1.0%, from $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in gross profit was due to a slight cost reduction in 2002, which resulted in a gross margin increase from 62.4% to 64.0%.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 21.5%, from $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, declined from 37.8% in 2001 to 32.6% in 2002. The decline in gross margin was due to the discontinuation of the Prell Spa line and the liquidation of excess inventory.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Gross profit increased by $24.2 million, or 303.3%, from $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of a full year of Comet sales in 2002 compared to three months in 2001. Gross margin decreased slightly from 43.2% for the period ended December 31, 2001 to 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $20.9 million, or 99.4%, from $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The net increase in gross profit was comprised of a $0.6 million decrease in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.5 million increase in the Personal Care Category and a $21.1 million increase in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin decreased by $0.6 million, or 5.2%, from $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decline in contribution margin was due to an increase in A&P expenses of $0.8 million, or 20.5%, from $4.1 million in 2001 to $4.9 million in 2002, which was due to increased spending for TV media and promotion. The remaining fluctuation in contribution margin was the result of factors previously discussed.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin increased by $0.5 million, or 108.8%, from $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in contribution margin was due, in part, to a decline in A&P expenses of $1.3 million, or 40.0%, from $3.1 million in 2001 to $1.8 million in 2002, which was due to the elimination of the Prell Spa line A&P spending.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Contribution margin increased by $21.1 million, or 274.9%, from $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in A&P expenses related to a full year of expenses related to Comet as the seller funded Comet's A&P commitment for the three months that would have been included in 2001.

66



        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 34.3%, from $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily due to the full year impact of the Comet acquisition in October 2001.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.    Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $3.4 million, or 82.1%, from $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decline was the result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the discontinuation of the amortization of goodwill.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense, net increased by $1.8 million, or 29.2%, from $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in interest expense is a function of the outstanding debt, which increased as a result of the Comet acquisition.

        Other Expense (Income), net.    Other expense of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 relates to loss on the extinguishment of debt.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for fiscal 2002 was $11.1 million with an effective tax rate of 40.1%. The tax provision for fiscal 2001 was $1.9 million with an effective tax rate of 37.8%. The difference in both instances between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes, net of the federal benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We have historically financed our operations with a combination of internally generated funds and borrowings. Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, servicing long-term debt, acquisitions, working capital, payment of income taxes and capital expenditures.

Prestige International Holdings, LLC

        Nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2003.    Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $8.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to net income of $13.7 million in 2004, adjusted for non-cash items of $29.8 million in 2004, compared to net income of $5.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $8.6 million in 2003. Working capital increased by $3.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $5.5 million related to the increase in net sales during the period, a decrease in accrued expenses of $6.9 million, offset by a reduction of inventories of $8.0 million.

        Nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2003.    Net cash used in investing activities was $425.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, compared to net cash used of $0.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily for the acquisition of Bonita Bay on April 6, 2004 and Vetco on October 6, 2004.

        Nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2003.    Net cash provided by financing activities was $389.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $11.2 million of net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily a result of proceeds of borrowings of $698.5 million and the issuance of preferred units and common units of $58.7 million primarily related to the Bonita Bay acquisition. This was partially offset by repayment of the debt incurred in February 2004 at the time of the Medtech acquisition, the paydown of the revolving credit facility and scheduled payments on current debt of $344.6 million. In addition, deferred financing costs of $23.5 million offset proceeds from borrowings. Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2003 was primarily related to a payment on a note payable for Denorex.

Medtech

Operating Activities

        Period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004.    Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $7.8 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004, compared to $(1.7) million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 were primarily the result of net income of $2.4 million adjusted for non-cash items of $7.9 million, partially offset by net changes in working capital of ($2.5) million. The $2.5 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to a $3.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due primarily to reductions in the reserve for Pecos returns, an increase of $2.3 million in inventory due primarily to new product launches and a decrease of $3.1 million in accounts receivable. The cash flows used in operating activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 were primarily the result of changes in working capital of ($5.3) million partially offset by net income of $1.8 million adjusted for non-cash items of $1.8 million. The $5.3 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.0 million, a $3.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the payment of $2.7 million of bonuses to management in connection with the acquisition of Medtech, and a $1.1 million decrease in inventory.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, compared to $3.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the fiscal year 2003 were primarily the result of a net loss of $14.4 million adjusted for non-cash items of $21.7 million, coupled with net changes in working capital of $5.2 million. The $5.2 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to a $3.9 million decrease in inventory due to better supply chain management and a $2.6 million increase in accrued expenses. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2002 were primarily the result of $0.6 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $6.7 million. The remaining net decrease of $3.3 million is due to an increase in inventory of $2.8 which is attributed to the acquisition of Denorex in February 2002.

        Period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004.    Net cash used in investing activities was $0.6 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004, compared to $166.9 million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31,

68


2004. Net cash used in investing activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 is primarily the result of expenditures of $0.5 million related to payments for an option to purchase the rights to certain Medtech products. Net cash used in investing activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 is the result of the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span during the period partially offset by the release of $0.7 million of previously restricted cash related to the Pecos divestiture in March 2003.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash used in investing activities of Medtech was $2.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, compared to net cash used of $4.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2003 is primarily the result of restricted cash ($0.7 million) related to the Pecos divestiture in March 2003, capital expenditures of $0.4 million, expenditures of $0.2 million for an option to purchase the rights to certain Medtech products and expenditures of $0.8 million related to direct acquisition costs of Denorex. Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 is the result of property and equipment purchases ($0.1 million), intangible purchases ($0.2 million) and costs related to Denorex ($4.1 million).

        Period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004.    Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($8.6) million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004, compared to $172.0 million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. Net cash used in financing activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 is primarily the result of a net paydown of Medtech's senior bank facilities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of capital contributions received of $100.4 million and a net increase in indebtedness of $74.6 million directly as a result of the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2003 was $(14.7) million compared to $5.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. Cash flows used in financing activities during fiscal year 2003 were attributed to scheduled pay down of the Medtech's senior bank facilities. The cash flows provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2002 were attributed to a $13.0 million stock issuance in connection with the Denorex acquisition in February 2002 partially offset by scheduled payments on outstanding debt.

Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc.

        Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003.    Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were primarily the result of net income of $3.0 million adjusted for non cash items of $3.2 million and net changes in working capital of $1.3 million. The $1.3 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to a decrease in accounts receivable of $8.5 million offset by increases in inventory, prepaid expenses and decreases in accrued expenses. The decrease in accounts receivable is attributable to stricter credit terms and lower sales. The cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were primarily the result of net income of $3.1 million adjusted for non cash items of $3.2 million and a net change in working capital of $2.1 million. The $2.1 million net decrease in working capital can be

69


attributed to an increase in accrued expenses and a decrease in inventories offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash provided by operating activities of Bonita Bay was $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the fiscal year 2003 were primarily the result of net income of $22.3 million adjusted for non-cash items of $12.1 million, coupled with net changes in working capital of $0.6 million. The $0.6 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to a $7.5 million increase in accounts receivable primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands. Offsetting the increase in receivables are decreases in inventory of $1.8 million and increases in accrued expenses of $2.1 million. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2002 were primarily the result of $16.6 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $6.1 million. The remaining net decrease of $0.7 million is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable ($5.5 million) and inventory ($3.6 million) offset by increases in accounts payable ($6.6 million) resulting from the acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands.

        Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001.    Net cash provided by operating activities of Bonita Bay was $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2002 were the result of the factors described above. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2001 were primarily the result of $3.1 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $7.6 million. The remaining net decrease of $0.8 million is due to increases in accounts receivable ($1.5 million) and inventory ($2.1 million) offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.0 million resulting from the acquisition of the Comet brand from Procter & Gamble on October 2, 2001.

        Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003.    Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of capital expenditures of $0.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is the result of capital expenditures of $0.1 million and the acquisition of Clear Eyes/Murine brands of $0.1 million.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash used in investing activities of Bonita Bay was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to net cash used of $110.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of the 2002 acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands.

        Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001.    Net cash used in investing activities of Bonita Bay was $110.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to net cash used of $144.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of cash used for the 2002 acquisition of Clear eyes and Murine brands as compared to the 2001 acquisition of the Comet brand.

        Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003.    Net cash used in financing activities was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in financing activities for the

70


three months ended March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of payments on long term debt. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is primarily the result of the repurchase and retirement of common stock for $13.3 million offset by net borrowings of $6.4 million.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $34.4 million, compared to cash provided of $95.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Cash flows used in financing activities during fiscal year 2003 were primarily attributable to a net pay down of Bonita Bay's senior bank facilities of $20.6 million and repurchases of common stock in the amount of $13.3 million. The cash flows provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2002 were primarily attributable to debt and equity issuances associated with the 2002 Clear eyes and Murine brand acquisition.

        Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001.    Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $95.6 million, compared to $134.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were the result of the factors described above. This cash provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2001 is primarily attributable to debt and equity issuances associated with the October 2001 Comet brand acquisition.

        We have significant tax attributes in the form of amortizable intangibles, with varying remaining lives of between 7 and 15 years, related to the structuring of our brand acquisitions, and net operating loss carry-forwards (NOLs), subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These tax attributes may be used to offset future taxable income. At December 31, 2004 we have available beneficial tax attributes, in the form of $387.9 million of amortizable intangibles and $12.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards.

        In connection with the Bonita Bay acquisition, our subsidiary, Prestige Brands, Inc., entered into a senior credit facility and issued senior subordinated notes. We used borrowings under the senior credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of the senior subordinated notes, as well as proceeds from the issuance of additional equity securities to fund the acquisition purchase price, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funds for working capital and general corporate purposes. Prestige Brands borrowed approximately $458.5 million under the senior credit facility in connection with the Bonita Bay acquisition and $30.0 million in connection with the Vetco acquisition.

        The senior credit facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $523.0 million, which includes:

71


        As of December 31, 2004, we had an aggregate of $680.3 million of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of the following:

        We had $50.0 million of borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility at such time.

        All loans under the senior credit facility bear interest at floating rates, which can be either a base rate, or at our option, a LIBO rate, plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 2004, an aggregate of $470.3 was outstanding under the term loans at a weighted average interest rate of 5.5%.

        The term loan facility, other than the tranche C term loan facility, matures in April 2011, and the tranche C term loan facility matures 180 days later. We must make a quarterly amortization payment on each loan under the term loan facility, other than the tranche C term loan facility, equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the term loans. The revolving credit facility matures, and the commitments relating to the revolving credit facility terminate, in April 2009. The obligations under the senior credit facility are guaranteed on a senior basis by Prestige Brands International, LLC, our intermediate holding company, and all of its domestic subsidiaries, other than the borrower, and are secured by substantially all of our assets.

        The senior credit facility contains various financial covenants, including covenants with respect to leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as covenants restricting us from undertaking specified corporate actions, including, asset dispositions, acquisitions, payment of dividends and other specified payments, changes of control, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates. We were in compliance with our financial and restrictive covenants under the credit facility at December 31, 2004.

        In connection with the Bonita Bay acquisition, Prestige Brands also issued $210.0 million of 91/4% senior subordinated notes due 2012. The notes are guaranteed by Prestige Brands International, LLC and all of its domestic subsidiaries, other than the issuer, on a senior subordinated basis. The indenture governing the notes contains covenants restricting specified corporate actions, including, incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends and other specified payments, making loans and investments, creating liens, asset dispositions, acquisitions, changes of control and transactions with affiliates. We were in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the notes at December 31, 2004.

        We anticipate using $100.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings under the senior credit facility's tranche C term loan and $84.0 million of net proceeds from this offering to redeem a portion of the 91/4% notes. We anticipate that we will incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $10.8 million on the early extinguishment of debt with the proceeds of this offering. This relates primarily to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and redemption premiums. In addition, we are amending the senior credit facility, effective upon completion of this offering, to among other things, increase available borrowings under the revolving credit facility from $50.0 million to $60.0 million. For more information, see "Description of Principal Indebtedness—Prestige Brands Senior Credit Facility."

        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

72



well as to provide funds for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs for at least the next 12 months. However, this may not be the case. Also, additional financing may not be available when required or, if available, may not be on terms satisfactory to us. We regularly review acquisition opportunities and other potential strategic transactions, which may require additional debt or equity financing.

(1)
Represents the estimated interest obligations on the outstanding revolving credit facility, the outstanding balance on the Tranche B term loan, the outstanding balance on the Tranche C term loan, and the outstanding balance on the 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 6.7%. 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 1/8%, interest expense would increase approximately $0.9 million, in the first year.

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, 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 position or results of operations for the periods referred to above, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on us and our operating results.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are exposed to changes in interest rates because our senior credit facility with Citicorp North America, Inc., Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch Capital, is variable rate debt. Interest rate changes therefore generally do not affect the market value of such debt but do impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. As of December 31, 2004, we had variable rate debt of approximately $470.3 million.

73



Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage point increase in interest rates on our variable debt would have had an estimated impact on pre-tax earnings and cash flows for the next year of approximately $4.7 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The significant accounting policies are described in the notes of each of the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. All companies presented herein utilize the same critical accounting policies, except as otherwise stated. While all significant accounting policies are important to our consolidated financial statements, some 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 require our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and 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 assumptions or conditions. The most critical accounting policies are as follows:

        Reserve for returns, allowance for doubtful accounts and the allowance for obsolete and damaged inventory.     We must make estimates of potential future product returns related to current period sales. In order to do this, we analyze historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of our reserve for returns in any accounting period. If actual future returns are greater than estimated by management, our financial statements in future periods would be adversely affected.

        In the ordinary course of business, we grant non-interest bearing trade credit to our customers on normal credit terms. To reduce our credit risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition. In addition, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon our historical collection experience and expected collectibility of our accounts receivable. If uncollectible account balances exceed our estimates, our financial statements would be adversely affected.

        We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or damage equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

        Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill.    Under SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but must be tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. We are required to make judgments regarding the value assigned to acquired intangible assets and their respective useful lives. Our determination of the values and lives was based on our analysis of the requirements of SFAS 141 and 142 as well as an independent evaluation of such assets. We have determined that a significant portion of our trademarks have indefinite lives. If we determine that any of these assets has a finite life, we would amortize the value of that asset over the remainder of such finite lives. Intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets must also be evaluated for impairment when management believes that the carrying value of the asset will not be recovered. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results could result in an impairment charge in the future. There were no impairments of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets during the year ended March 31, 2004 or the

74



quarter ended December 31, 2004. Goodwill and other long-term assets, net totaled $927.7 million as of December 31, 2004.

        Revenue Recognition.    For sales transactions, we comply with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 "Revenue Recognition", which states that revenue should be recognized when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the product has been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are satisfied upon shipment of product and revenues are recognized accordingly.

        Revenue is recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes and Murine brands under transition service agreements with the prior owner and prior to satisfaction of regulatory requirements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as Bonita Bay was not the primary obligor under this arrangement.

        Equity Issuances.    On February 6, 2004, in connection with the Medtech acquisition, certain senior executive officers purchased an aggregate of 5,282,269 common units of Prestige International Holdings, LLC (the predecessor company) at $.10 per unit. These units were purchased on the same day and at the same price that GTCR and TCW, our unrelated equity investors (the "Sponsors"), purchased 50,000,000 common units. The value of the common units purchased in connection with the Medtech acquisition was determined by subtracting from the acquisition purchase price, the total debt outstanding immediately following the acquisition and the liquidation value of outstanding preferred units issued in the acquisition. On March 17, 2004, other executive officers purchased an aggregate of 405,103 common units at a price of $.10 per unit. The Sponsors did not purchase any common units at this time. On April 6, 2004, two employees purchased an aggregate of 50,435 common units at a price of $.10 per unit. The Sponsors did not purchase any common units at this time. We believe that each of the above-referenced purchase transactions by management were conducted at fair market value based upon the price paid by the Sponsors in the original February 2004 acquisition and the fact that the such purchases were made at the same price and at the same time or shortly thereafter.

        On November 1, 2004, certain non-executive employees purchased an aggregate of 337,000 common units for $0.70 per unit, which we believe was equal to fair market value. We base this determination on a contemporaneous valuation. The valuation utilized traditional methodologies, including market multiples, comparable transaction and discounted cash flow. We relied on this fair market value analysis in setting the $0.70 per unit price for the purchases. We awarded a total bonus of $235,900 to allow our employees to purchase such units. In connection therewith, we recorded a bonus expense of $235,900. In this regard, we believe that all employee purchases were conducted at fair market value based upon a contemporaneous valuation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003)," FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, as defined. For entities created after December 31, 2003, the Company will be required to apply FIN 46R as of the date it first becomes involved with the entity. FIN 46R is effective for the Company for entities created before December 31, 2003, for year ending March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Under

75



SFAS No. 150, an issuer is required to classify financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable, financial instruments that, at inception, embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares and financial instruments that embody an unconditional obligation, as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2004. On November 7, 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 150 as they apply to some mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. This deferral is expected to remain in effect while these provisions are further evaluated by the FASB. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This statement amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. This statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges and that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payments." SFAS 123R requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for equity instruments awarded to employees. SFAS 123R is effective for the Company as of the beginning of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

MARKET, RANKING AND OTHER DATA

        The data included in this prospectus regarding market share and ranking, including our position and the position of our competitors within these markets are based on data generated by the independent market research firm Information Resources, Inc., which we refer to as "Information Resources." Information Resources data reports retail sales in the food, drug and mass merchandise markets. Information Resources data for the mass merchandise market, however, does not include Wal-Mart, which ceased providing sales data to Information Resources in 2001. Although Wal-Mart represents a significant portion of the mass merchandise market for us, as well as our competitors, we believe that Wal-Mart's exclusion from Information Resources data does not significantly change our market share or ranking relative to our competitors.

BUSINESS

        We sell well-recognized, brand name over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care products. 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, our sales and profits. Our ten major brands, set forth in the table below, have strong and established levels of consumer awareness and retail distribution across all major channels. On a pro forma basis, approximately 67% of our sales for the year ended March 31, 2004 are from brands that have a number one or number two market share position. The following table outlines the leadership position of our major brands:

Market share and ACV information for market segments in which Little Remedies products compete is not available from Information Resources or any other independent third party researcher that we have been able to identify.

        Some of our product lines that account for a large percentage of our sales have a relatively small market share relative to our competitors. For example, while Clear eyes has a number two market share position of 16.9%, its top competitor, Visine®, has a market share of 39.8%. In contrast, some of our brands with number one market positions have competitors with very similar market share. For example, while Compound W has a number one market position of 34.3%, its chief competitor, Dr. Scholl's Clear Away, has a market position of 33.7%. Similarly, while Cutex is the number one brand name nail polish remover with a market share of 28.5%, non-branded, private label nail polish removers account for 50.9% of the market. Finally, while our New-Skin liquid bandage product has a number one market position of 35.4%, the size of the liquid bandage market is relatively small, particularly when compared to the much larger bandage category.

Our History

        Originally formed in 1996 as a joint venture of Medtech Labs and The Shansby Group to acquire over-the-counter drug brands from American Home Products, our company has been led by chief executive officer Peter Mann and chief financial officer Peter Anderson since 2001. Since that time, our

78



company's portfolio of brand name products has expanded from over-the-counter drugs to include household cleaning and personal care products. We have principally added brands to our portfolio by acquiring strong and well-recognized brands from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. In 2004, GTCR Golder Rauner II, LLC, a private equity firm, acquired our business from the original founders and continued to move forward with Peter Mann and Peter Anderson leading the management team. In this prospectus, we refer to this acquisition as the "Medtech acquisition."

        In April 2004, we acquired Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. Bonita Bay was the parent holding company of Prestige Brands International, Inc. and conducted its business under the "Prestige" name. The Prestige business was established in October 1999 to acquire leading brands being divested by major consumer products and pharmaceuticals companies. Since that date, Prestige has acquired Comet (2001), Chloraseptic (2000) and Prell from Procter & Gamble. In December 2002, Prestige purchased Clear eyes and Murine from Abbott Laboratories. After we completed the acquisition of Bonita Bay, including its Prestige subsidiary, we began to conduct our business under the "Prestige" name. We acquired all of the brands listed above in this acquisition. We refer to this acquisition as the "Bonita Bay acquisition."

        In October 2004, we acquired the rights to the Little Remedies brands through our purchase of Vetco, Inc. Vetco is engaged in the development, distribution and marketing of pediatric over-the-counter healthcare products, primarily marketed under the Little Remedies brand name. Vetco's products include Little Noses nasal products, Little Tummy's digestive health products, Little Colds cough/cold remedies and Little Remedies New Parents Survival Kits. The Little Remedies products provide relief for common childhood ailments without unnecessary additives such as saccharin, alcohol, artificial flavors, coloring dyes or harmful preservatives. We refer to this acquisition as the "Vetco acquisition."

        Our company has grown 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 had been constrained by the limited resources of their prior owners.

        Our products are sold by mass merchandisers and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, which accounted for approximately 81% of our gross sales, on a pro forma basis, excluding the Vetco acquisition, for the year ended March 31, 2004.

        Since completing the Bonita Bay acquisition, we have operated through a holding company that is a limited liability company. As described in "Reorganization as a Corporation," our new holding company will be a Delaware corporation upon completion of this offering.

Competitive Strengths

        Diversified Portfolio of Recognized and Established Brands.    We own and market well-recognized brands with long histories in the marketplace. On average, each of our ten major brands were established over 60 years ago and are widely recognized by consumers. For example:

79


        Our diverse portfolio of products provides us multiple sources of growth and minimizes our reliance on any one single category. We provide significant marketing support to our brands in order to grow our long-term profitability.

        Strong Competitor in Attractive, Niche Categories.    We strategically choose to compete in niche product categories that address recurring consumer needs and that we believe are considered non-core to larger consumer and pharmaceutical companies. We believe we are well positioned in these categories due to the long history and consumer awareness of our brands, our strong market positions and our low-cost operating model.

        Proven Ability to Develop and Introduce New Products.    We focus our marketing and product development efforts on identifying underserved consumer needs and then designing products that directly address those needs. Recent new products include:

        Efficient Operating Model.    We focus our internal resources on marketing, sales, customer service and product development. While we directly manage the production planning and quality control aspects of the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of our products, we outsource the operating elements of these functions to well-established, lower-cost third-party providers. This approach allows

80



us to benefit from third-party economies of scale and maintain a highly variable cost structure, with low overhead, limited working capital investment and minimal capital expenditures. On a pro forma basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, our gross margin was approximately 53%, while our general and administrative expenses and our capital expenditures represented less than 10% and 1% of net sales, respectively.

        Experienced Senior Management Team with Proven Ability to Acquire, Integrate and Grow Brands.    We have an experienced senior management team averaging over 30 years of consumer products experience in marketing, sales, customer service and product development. Since joining our company, this senior management team has increased our sales and integrated several brands into our portfolio. Unlike many large consumer products companies, which we believe often entrust their smaller brands to rotating junior employees, our experienced managers are dedicated to specific brands and remain with those brands as they grow and evolve. Prior to managing our company, Peter Mann, our chief executive officer, Peter Anderson, our chief financial officer, and several other members of our management team previously held senior positions at a publicly traded company.

Growth Strategy

        Our growth strategy is to focus on our marketing, sales, customer service and product development efforts in order to continue to enhance our brands and drive growth. We plan to execute this strategy through:

Gross sales for this brand are not included in the historical financial statements of Prestige Holdings because we acquired Vetco on October 6, 2004, which is after our most recent fiscal year end.

        Our portfolio of over-the-counter drugs consists of Clear eyes, Murine, Chloraseptic, the Compound W wart removal products, the Little Remedies line of pediatric over-the-counter healthcare products and first aid products such as New-Skin and Dermoplast. Other niche brands in this category include Percogesic® and Momentum®, Freezone®, Mosco® and Outgro®, Sleep-Eze®, Compoz® and Heet®. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the over-the-counter drugs category accounted for 50.7% of our net sales.

        Clear eyes and Murine.    Bonita Bay purchased the Clear eyes and Murine brands from Abbott Laboratories in December 2002. Since its introduction in 1968, the Clear eyes brand has been marketed as an effective eye care product that helps take redness away and helps moisturize the eye. Clear eyes has an ACV of 95%. The Murine brand is over 100 years old. Murine products consist of both lubricating and soothing eye drops and ear wax removal aids.

        Clear eyes, Murine Tears and Murine Ear Care are leading brands in the over-the-counter personal eye and ear care categories. The 0.5 oz. container of Clear eyes redness relief eye drops is the number one selling product in the eye redness relief category and Clear eyes is the number two brand in that category with 16.9% market share. The ear drop category is composed of products that loosen earwax, treat trapped water (swimmer's ear) and treat ear aches. Murine is the number three ear care brand with 16.8% market share.

        Chloraseptic.    Bonita Bay acquired Chloraseptic in March 2000 from Procter & Gamble. Chloraseptic was originally developed by a dentist in 1957 to relieve sore throats and mouth pain. Chloraseptic's 6 oz. cherry liquid sore throat spray is the number one selling product in the sore throat liquids/sprays segment. The Chloraseptic brand has an ACV of 95% and is number one in sore throat liquids/sprays with 47.3% market share.

        Historically, Chloraseptic products were limited to sore throat lozenges and traditional sore throat sprays that were stored and used at home. Since its acquisition by Bonita Bay, the Chloraseptic product line has been expanded to also include portable sprays, gargle, mouth pain sprays and relief strips introduced in July 2003 that combine popular dissolvable strips with Chloraseptic's professionally recommended medicine. These product introductions enable us to market Chloraseptic products as a system, encourage consumers to buy multiple types of Chloraseptic products and increase volume for the entire product line.

        Compound W.    Medtech acquired Compound W from American Home Products in 1996. The Compound W brand has a long heritage; its wart removal products having been introduced almost 50 years ago. Compound W products are specially designed to provide relief of common and plantar warts and are sold in multiple forms of treatment depending on the consumer's need, including Fast-Acting Liquid, Fast-Acting Gel, One Step Pads for Kids, One Step Pads for Adults and Freeze Off. We believe that Compound W is one of the most trusted names in wart removal, as evidenced by "the pharmacist recommended solution for removing common skin warts" recognition to its Fast-Acting Liquid product.

        Compound W is the number one wart removal brand in the United States with a 34.3% market share and an ACV of 88%.

83



        Since Compound W's acquisition, we have successfully expanded the wart remover category and enhanced the value associated with the Compound W brand by introducing several new products. On July 1, 2003, we introduced a cryogenic wart removal product, Compound W Freeze Off, which allows consumers to use a wart freezing treatment similar to that used by doctors. Compound W Freeze Off has achieved high trade acceptance and achieved $25.9 million in sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. We have also extended the Compound W brand by introducing Fast Acting Liquid, One Step Pads for Kids and Waterproof One Step Pads.

        Little Noses.    Little Noses was first introduced to the market in 1992 and is marketed as a product for the relief of childhood nasal discomfort containing no alcohol, saccharin, artificial flavors or coloring dyes. The Little Noses product line consists of saline nasal spray/drops, decongestant nose drops, a nasal aspirator for the removal of mucous from nasal passages and moisturizing nasal gel.

        Little Colds.    Little Colds was first introduced to the market in 2001 and is marketed as a product for the relief of childhood cold symptoms containing no alcohol, saccharin, artificial flavors or coloring dyes. The Little Colds product line includes six different products consisting of a multi-symptom cold relief formula, dissolvable sore throat relief strips, sore throat relief Saf-T-Pops®, cough relief formula, decongestant formula and a combined decongestant plus cough relief formula.

        Little Tummy's.    Little Tummy's was first introduced to the market in 1994 and is marketed as a product for the relief of childhood stomach discomfort containing no alcohol, saccharin, artificial flavors or coloring dyes. The Little Tummy's product line consists of gas relief drops, laxative drops and a nausea relief aid.

        New-Skin.    The brand has a long heritage, with the core product believed by management to be over 100 years old. New-Skin products consist of liquid bandages for small cuts and scrapes that are designed to replace traditional bandages in an effective and easy to use form. The New-Skin line has three products: New-Skin Liquid Bandage, New-Skin Burn Relief and New-Skin Wound and Blister Dressing. Each product works by drying and creating a thin, clear, protective covering when applied to the skin. The New-Skin brand has a 89% ACV.

        New-Skin competes in the liquid bandage segment of the first aid bandage category. Within this segment, New-Skin has a 35.4% market share.

        Dermoplast.    Medtech acquired Dermoplast from American Home Products in 1996. Dermoplast is an aerosol spray anesthetic for minor topical pain that was traditionally a "hospital-only" brand dispensed to mothers after giving birth. The primary use in hospitals is for post episiotomy pain, post-partum hemorrhoidal pain, and for the relief of female genital itching. Dermoplast enjoys broad distribution across the drug and mass merchandise channels, with an ACV of 63%.

        Since Dermoplast's acquisition, Medtech introduced retail versions of the products, a move that effectively doubled the size of the business. In addition to the traditional hospital uses mentioned above, Dermoplast offers sanitary, convenient first aid relief for pain and itching from minor skin irritations, sunburn, insect bites, minor cuts, scrapes and burns. The products are currently offered in two formulas: regular strength and antibacterial strength.

        Our portfolio of household cleaning brands includes the Comet and Spic and Span brands. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the household cleaning category accounted for 36.2% of our net sales.

84


        Comet.    Bonita Bay acquired Comet from Procter & Gamble in October 2001. Comet was originally introduced in 1956 and is one of the most widely recognized household cleaning brands, with an ACV of 99%. Comet products include different varieties of cleaning powders, sprays, gels, creams and toilet cleaners, some of which are abrasive and some of which are non-abrasive. Comet competes in the abrasive and non-abrasive tub/tile cleaner sub-category of the household cleaning category. The tub/tile cleaner sub-category includes abrasive powders and non-abrasive liquids, sprays, creams and gels. The abrasive tub/tile cleaner sub-category is Comet's primary market. The top three brands in this market are Henkel's Soft Scrub®, Comet and Colgate Palmolive's Ajax®. Comet is the number two brand in this sub-category with 29.4% market share behind Henkel's Soft Scrub, which has 44.6% market share. The non-abrasive tub and tile cleaner segment is more fragmented and competitive than the abrasive segment and Comet has been attempting to build momentum in its efforts to increase its market share in the non-abrasive tub and tile cleaner segment through focused advertising and promotions, including free-standing insert coupons, hang collar coupons and television advertising.

        Since Comet's acquisition, Bonita Bay has expanded the brand's distribution, increased advertising and promotion and implemented focused marketing initiatives. Further, under Bonita Bay ownership, Comet has seen multiple new product introductions to extend the brand into new categories and increase usage. Some of the significant recent product launches include Comet Orange Brite Bathroom Spray and Comet Orange Oxygenated Soft Powder products introduced in June 2003 as line extensions for existing Comet sprays and powders. These and other new products are aimed at extending Comet's brand value by promoting Comet as a comprehensive cleaning system of powders, sprays and creams.

        Spic and Span.    Spic and Span was introduced to the market in 1925 and is marketed as the complete home cleaner with four product lines consisting of dilutables, hard surface sprays, soft powder and disinfecting wipes, all of which can be used for multi-room and multi-surface cleaning. Since its acquisition from Procter & Gamble in January 2001, the product line has grown from eight to 34 separate products and we have increased advertising and promotional efforts supporting the products.

        Our portfolio of personal care brands includes the brands of Denorex dandruff shampoo, Cutex nail products and Prell shampoo. Other brands in this category include EZO® denture cushion, Oxipor VHC® skin-care lotion, Cloverine® skin salve, Zincon® shampoo and Kerodex® barrier cream. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the personal care category accounted for 13.1% of our net sales.

        Denorex.    Denorex was acquired by Medtech from American Home Products in February 2002. The Denorex brand was originally launched in 1971 by American Home Products to compete in the then new "therapeutic" segment of the medicated shampoo category. The Denorex brand has strong consumer awareness as an effective solution to scalp problems, as illustrated by its ACV of 75%. The current lineup of Denorex products includes Extra Strength and Extra Strength with Conditioner, Therapeutic Strength and Therapeutic Strength with Conditioner, and the Advanced Formula that was recently renamed as the Everyday Formula to attract moderate dandruff sufferers.

        Denorex competes in the therapeutic segment of the dandruff shampoo category. Within the therapeutic shampoo segment Denorex has a 10.9% market share competing with McNeil-PPC's Nizoral®, Chattem's Selsun Blue® and Neutrogena's T-Gel.

        Cutex.    Cutex is an old and, we believe, trusted brand, synonymous with its core products' key function: nail polish removal. Cutex has an ACV rating of 91%. Cutex has four product lines: Quick and Gentle Liquid Nail Polish Remover, Cutex Essential Care® Advanced Liquid, Essential Care Advanced Nail Polish Remover Pads and Quick and Gentle Instant Jar Nail Polish Removers.

85



        Cutex is the number one brand in the nail polish remover category and has a leading 28.5% market share of the category. The main competition is private label, which collectively has 50.9% market share.

        Cutex is currently introducing a nail treatment line with a variety of new and innovative products designed to meet consumer needs. The nail treatment category is similar to that of nail polish remover, but offers a higher retail selling price and profitability compared to the nail polish remover category.

        Prell.    Prestige acquired Prell from Procter & Gamble in November 1999. Prell was launched in 1947 and is a highly recognized shampoo brand. We believe Prell has a loyal base of consumers seeking shampoo at the mid-price point segment.

        Prell competes in the shampoo segment in the United States. The shampoo category is fragmented and populated by hundreds of brands. The fragmented nature of the shampoo segment places a premium on distribution and brand recognition and positioning.

Marketing and Sales

        Our marketing approach is based upon the acquisition and rebuilding of established, mass market brands that possess what we believe to be significant brand value and unrealized potential. Our marketing objective is to increase sales and market share by developing and executing professionally designed, creative and cost-effective advertising and promotional programs. Once we acquire a brand, we implement a brand building strategy that uses the brand's existing consumer awareness to maximize sales of current products and grows the brand through product innovation. This brand building process involves the evaluation and enhancement of the existing brand name, the development and introduction of innovative new products and the professional execution of support programs. All new product concepts are thoroughly researched before launch. To ensure consistent growth, the brands are supported by an integrated trade, consumer and advertising effort, although advertising is used selectively. Recognizing that financial resources are limited, we allocate our resources to focus on those brands that show the greatest opportunities for growth and financial success. Brand priorities vary from year to year and generally revolve around the introduction of new items.

Customers

        Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, accounting for approximately 81% of our combined gross sales on a pro forma basis, excluding the Vetco acquisition, for the year ended March 31, 2004. Our sales force consists of 10 people and is also complemented by third-party sales management organizations who focus on key client relationships by interfacing directly with the remaining accounts and report directly to members of management.

        We enjoy broad distribution across each of the major retail channels, including mass merchandisers and drug, food, dollar and club stores. The following table sets forth the percentage of gross sales to

our top 50 customers for the last two fiscal years and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 across our five major distribution channels:

Includes estimates for some of our wholesale customers that service more than one distribution channel.

        Due to the diversity of our product line, we believe that each of these channels is important to our business and we continue to seek opportunities for growth in each sector. We have recently expanded our sales in dollar and club stores by introducing customized packaging and sizes of our brand name products for these channels.

        Our principal customer relationships include Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS and Kroger. For the year ended March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis, excluding the Vetco acquisition, our top five and ten customers accounted for approximately 38.6% and 49.7% of our gross sales. No single customer other than Wal-Mart accounted for more than 10% of our gross sales in the most recent fiscal year and none of our other top five customers accounted for less than 3.0% of our gross sales for the most recent fiscal year. Our top fifteen customers each purchase products from virtually every major product line.

        Our strong customer relationships provide us with a number of important benefits including minimizing slotting fees and shortening payment time after invoicing. In addition, these relationships help us by facilitating new product introductions and ensuring prominent shelf space. Management's emphasis on strong personal and professional relationships, speed and flexibility, leading sales technology capabilities, including electronic data interchange, e-mail, the internet, integrated retail coverage, consistent marketing support programs and ongoing product innovation we believe will continue to maximize our competitiveness in the increasingly complex retail environment.

Outsourcing and Manufacturing

        In order to maximize our competitiveness and efficiently allocate our resources, third-party manufacturers provide us with all of our manufacturing needs. We have found that contract manufacturing maximizes our flexibility and responsiveness to industry and consumer trends while minimizing the need for capital expenditures. We select contract manufacturers based on what we believe to be the best overall value, and we take into account factors such as depth of services, the management team, manufacturing flexibility, regulatory compliance and competitive pricing. We also conduct thorough reviews of each potential manufacturer's facilities, quality standards, capacity and financial stability. We generally only purchase finished products from our manufacturers, and none of those products require unique raw materials.

        Our primary contract manufacturers provide comprehensive services from product development through manufacturing of finished goods and are responsible for such matters as production planning, product research and development, procurement, production and quality testing through product release. The manufacturer is responsible for all capital expenditures and works with us to develop improved packaging and promotional offers. In most instances, we provide our contract manufacturers with guidance in the form of product development, performance criteria, regulatory guidance, sourcing of packaging materials and monthly master production schedules. This management approach results in minimal capital expenditures and maximizes our cash flow, which is reinvested to support our marketing initiatives and to repay outstanding indebtedness.

        We have relationships with over 20 third-party manufacturers. As of March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Bonita Bay acquisition, we sold 73 types of individual products. We do not have long-term contracts with the manufacturers of 38 of those types of individual products. These

88



38 products accounted for approximately 25.0% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. Not having manufacturing agreements for these products exposes us to the risk that the manufacturer could stop producing our products at any time, for any reason or fail to provide us with the level of products we need to meet our customers' demand.

        Our largest suppliers of manufactured goods for the year ended March 31, 2004 included Vijon Laboratories, Abbott Laboratories, Kolmar Canada, Procter & Gamble, OraSure Technologies and Humco Holdings. We enter into manufacturing agreements for a majority of our products, each of which vary based on the third-party producer and the types of products being supplied. These agreements explicitly outline the manufacturer's obligations and product specifications with respect to the brand or brands being produced. The manufacturing agreements are typically one to seven years in duration and prices under these agreements generally are established annually and subject to quarterly adjustments for actual raw material and packaging cost changes. Labor cost increases are generally limited to increases in the consumer price index. All of our other products are manufactured on a purchase order basis. Orders are generally based on batch sizes and result in no long-term obligations or commitments.

Warehousing and Distribution

        We store virtually all of our finished inventory in one distribution warehouse in St. Louis, Missouri. While consolidating our storage and distribution into one facility enables us to reduce our costs, there are risks associated with this strategy. If a disaster, such as a flood or fire, were to occur at the distribution center, we could incur significant costs and experience significant delays in distributing our products. We could incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times during the time it takes us to reopen or replace our distribution center, which may adversely affect our sales and profitability.

        We receive orders from retailers and/or brokers primarily by electronic data interchange, or EDI, which automatically enters each order into our systems and then routes the order to our distribution center. The distribution center will, in turn, send a confirmation that the order was received, fill the order, and ship the order to the customers, while sending a shipment confirmation to us. Upon receipt of the confirmation, we send an invoice to the customer.

        We manage product distribution in the mainland United States through one facility located in St. Louis and leased and operated by Ozburn-Hessey Logistics. Ozburn-Hessey handles all finished goods storage and all customer shipments, as well as, counting and disposition of customer returns. Our agreement with Ozburn-Hessey expires in May, 2007, although either party may terminate it upon 120 days advance written notice. We believe our relationship with Ozburn-Hessey is good. However, there are numerous other national and regional logistics services providers of similar quality that could be engaged on similar terms on short notice in the event our agreement with Ozburn-Hessey is not renewed or terminated. If Ozburn-Hessey abruptly stopped providing its logistics services to us, our business operations could suffer a temporary disruption while a new services provider was engaged. We believe this process could be completed quickly and any temporary disruption resulting therefrom would have an insignificant effect on our operating results and financial condition. For the Over-the-Counter Drug and Personal Care product lines, freight and warehousing costs are a relatively small portion of our expenses (5% of sales) due to the high value and low weight of the product line. For the Household category, the freight costs were approximately 7% due to the products' higher weight. We pay a fixed lease on the warehouse space and a handling fee per case of product shipped from the facility. Canadian brands are warehoused and distributed by Canadian-based distribution companies.

89



Regulation

        Product Regulations.    The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the FDA, the FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the EPA and by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed and sold. Regulatory issues are handled internally by management and an experienced FDA consultant. Our operations team works closely with our co-packers on quality and makes frequent site visits. When and if the FDA chooses to audit a particular facility that is manufacturing one of our products, we are notified immediately and updated on the process of the audit as it proceeds. To prepare manufacturers for audits, we perform "mock" FDA inspections at least biannually. Our management intends to continue this procedure across all of our brands. This continual evaluation process ensures that our manufacturing processes and products are of the highest quality and in compliance with all regulatory needs. If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with these regulations, we could become subject to significant claims or penalties, which could materially and adversely affect our business. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant additional compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, which could result in a significant loss of sales revenues.

        All of our over-the-counter drug products are regulated pursuant to the FDA's monograph system. The monographs, both tentative and final, set out the active ingredients and labeling indications that are permitted for certain broad categories of over-the-counter drug products. Where the FDA has finalized a particular monograph, it has concluded that a properly labeled product formulation is generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. A tentative final monograph indicates that the FDA has not made a final determination about products in a category to establish safety and efficacy for a product and its uses. However, unless there is a serious safety or efficacy issue, the FDA will typically exercise enforcement discretion and permit companies to sell products conforming to a tentative final monograph until the final monograph is published. Products that comply with either final or tentative final monograph standards do not require pre-market approval from the FDA.

        In accordance with the FDC Act and FDA regulations, the manufacturing processes of our third party manufacturers must also comply with the FDA's cGMPs. The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs.

        Other Regulations.    We are also subject to a variety of other regulations in various foreign markets, including regulations pertaining to import/export regulations and antitrust issues. To the extent we decide to commence or expand operations in additional countries, we may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the country's ministry of health or comparable agency. We must also comply with product labeling and packaging regulations that vary from country to country. Government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products. Our failure to comply with these regulations can result in a product being removed from sale in a particular market, either temporarily or permanently. In addition, we are subject to FTC and state regulations, as well as foreign regulations, relating to our product claims and advertising. If we fail to comply with these regulations, we could be subject to enforcement actions and the imposition of penalties.

Intellectual Property

        We own a number of trademark registrations and applications in the United States, Canada and other foreign countries. The following are some of the most important trademarks registered in the United States: APF®, Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Cinch®, Cloverine, Comet, Compound W, Compoz, Cutex, Denorex, Dermoplast, Essential Care, Freezone, Heet, Kerodex, Momentum, Mosco, Murine, New-Skin, Outgro, Oxipor VHC, Percogesic, Prell, Simple Pad®, Simplegel®, Sleep-Eze, Spic and Span, Vacuum Grip® and Zincon. In addition, we have an exclusive royalty bearing license to use the EZO trademark in the United States for a term of 10 years from January 1, 2003 at the end of which we shall have the right to purchase the trademark for $1,000. While we own the U.S. trademark registration for Kerodex, we have an obligation to pay royalties to Unilever/Scientific with respect to the manufacture and sale of barrier creams sold in the United States under the Kerodex trademark. This royalty obligation will continue so long as we make, use or sell these products in the United States.

        Our trademarks and tradenames are how we convey that the products we sell are "brand name" products. Our ownership of these trademarks and tradenames enables us to prevent others from using them and allows us to compete based on the value associated with them. Enforcing our proprietary rights in these trademark and tradenames, however, is expensive. If we are not able to effectively enforce our rights, others may be able to dilute our trademarks and tradenames and hurt the value that our customers associate with our brands, which could adversely affect our sales and operating results.

        As part of our acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine product lines from Abbott Laboratories in 2002, specified country closings were scheduled to take place after 2003 in order for the parties to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in those countries. While a number of those closings have occurred and the trademark registrations and applications in such countries have been assigned to us, we and Abbott are still in the process of executing separate agreements to effect assignments of trademark registrations and applications for the Clear eyes and Murine trademarks in some countries that represent smaller markets for us.

        We acquired other intellectual property rights from Procter & Gamble and Abbott Laboratories when we acquired the trademarks related to the Comet, Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Murine and Prell product lines; however, we did not in each case obtain title to all of the intellectual property used to manufacture and sell those products. Therefore, we are dependent upon Procter & Gamble, Abbott Laboratories and other third parties for intellectual property used in the manufacture and sale of some of our products. For example, we rely on third parties for intellectual property relating to Comet products, Chloraseptic strips, Prell shampoo, Spic and Span dilutables, Cinch spray and Spic and Span soft powder. We have licenses for such intellectual property or manufacturing agreements with the owners of such intellectual property. However, if we are unable to maintain these arrangements, we would have to establish new arrangements with different licensors or manufacturers. If this were to occur, we could experience disruptions in our business, our ability to meet customer demand could be constrained and our sales and operating results could be adversely affected.

        We have granted MF Distributions, Inc. an exclusive license (with an option to purchase) to sell Spic and Span and Cinch products in Canada for a royalty. In 2003, we assigned our Italian trademark applications and registrations for Spic and Span and Cinch to Conter, S.p.A., and entered into a concurrent use agreement with Conter with respect to such marks.

        We have granted Procter & Gamble the right to use the Comet and Chlorinol® trademarks in the commercial/institutional/industrial segment in the United States and Canada until 2010 and in all of its segments in specified Eastern European countries until 2006. In addition, we have granted to Procter & Gamble the right to use the Spic and Span trademark in connection with cleaning products for use primarily outside the home and in a business or institution until 2009.

Information Technology

        We use ACCPAC as our business management system. The system handles our accounts receivables, accounts payable, inventory control, purchase orders, order entry and general ledger transactions. We are currently running three separate entities on the system and plan to integrate other entities on the system in connection with the Bonita Bay acquisition. Because this system gives us the ability to manage several different companies at the same time, we anticipate that such integration will be completed without disruption to our daily operations.

        For EDI transactions, we use Gentran, a software from Sterling Commerce which is one of the most widely used packages for EDI in the United States. The above systems, along with our highly experienced staff located in Jackson, Wyoming, gives us the capability to add brands or entire companies to the portfolio in a seamless fashion.

Employees

        We employed 75 individuals as of December 31, 2004. None of our employees are party to collective bargaining agreements. Management believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Properties

        Our corporate headquarters are located in Irvington, New York, a suburb of New York City. Primary functions undertaken at the Irvington facility include senior management, marketing, sales, operations and finance. The lease on the Irvington facility expires on July 31, 2008. We also have a secondary administrative center in Jackson, Wyoming. Primary functions undertaken at the Jackson facility include back office functions such as invoicing, credit and collection, general ledger and customer service. The lease on the Jackson facility expires on December 31, 2005.

Legal Proceedings

        In June 2003, Dr. Theodosakis filed a lawsuit, Theodosakis v. Walgreens, et al., in Federal District Court in Arizona, alleging that two of our subsidiaries, Medtech Products and Pecos Pharmaceutical, as well as other unrelated parties, infringed the trade dress of two of his published books. Specifically, Dr. Theodosakis published "The Arthritis Cure" and "Maximizing the Arthritis Cure" regarding the use of dietary supplements to treat arthritis patients. Dr. Theodosakis alleged that his books have a distinctive trade dress, or cover layout, design, color and typeface, and that products that the defendants sold under the ARTHx trademarks infringed the books' trade dress and constituted unfair competition and false designation of origin. Additionally, Dr. Theodosakis alleged that the defendants made false endorsements of the products by referencing his books on the product packaging and that the use of his name, books and trade dress invaded his right to publicity. We sold the ARTHx trademarks, goodwill and inventory to a third-party, Contract Pharmacal Corporation, in March 2003. On January 12, 2005, the court granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims against us. The plaintiff has a right to perfect an appeal within 30 days.

        We are also involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business. When it appears probable in management's judgment that we will incur monetary damages or other costs in connection with such claims and proceedings, and such costs can be reasonably estimated, liabilities are recorded in the financial statements and charges are recorded against earnings. We believe the resolution of such routine matters and other incidental claims, taking into account reserves and insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation.

        Prior to the consummation of this offering, we intend to establish an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance and nominating committee. Each committee will consist of three persons, at least one of whom is not employed by us, and is "independent" as defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

        Other Committees.    Our board of directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Compensation of Directors

        Our directors are currently not entitled to receive any compensation for serving on the board of directors. Directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services. Following this offering, directors who are not our employees will receive compensation that is commensurate with arrangements offered to directors of companies that are similar to us. Compensation arrangements for independent directors established by our board of directors may be in the form of cash payments and/or option grants or other equity securities.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        The compensation arrangements for our Chief Executive Officer and each of our Named Executive Officers were established pursuant to the terms of the respective employment agreements between us and each executive officer, with the exception of Richard Thome who does not have an employment agreement. The terms of the employment agreements were established pursuant to arms-length negotiations between a representative of our existing equity investors and each executive officer.

        None of our executive officers serves, and we anticipate that none will serve, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers that serves on our board of directors or compensation committee.

        In connection with the Medtech acquisition, we entered into senior management agreements, dated February 6, 2004, with the following members of our management team: Peter C. Mann, Peter J. Anderson, Gerard F. Butler and Michael A. Fink. On March 17, 2004, we entered into senior management agreements with Charles Schrank and Eric M. Millar.

        Employment Terms.    Under their respective senior management agreements, each of Messrs. Mann, Anderson, Butler and Fink will serve in the following positions and receive the following annual base salary, subject to increase by the board of directors:

Name

  Position
  Annual Base Salary
Peter C. Mann   Chief Executive Officer   $ 425,000
Peter J. Anderson   Chief Financial Officer     297,000
Gerard F. Butler   Chief Sales Officer     227,000
Eric M. Millar   Senior Vice President of Operations     205,000
Michael A. Fink   Senior Vice President of Marketing     203,000
Charles Schrank   Senior Vice President of Marketing     188,000

In addition to the above compensation, each executive is eligible for an annual bonus to be determined by the board of directors for each fiscal year of employment and is entitled to any other benefits approved by the board of directors and made available to other senior managers.

        Each executive's employment will continue until his:

        If an executive's employment is terminated by us without cause or by executive for good reason, then during the one-year period following the termination we will be obligated to pay him, in equal installments on regular payroll dates, an aggregate amount equal to his annual base salary and his prior annual bonus.

        Each executive has agreed to limitations on his ability to disclose confidential information relating to us and acknowledges that all discoveries, inventions, methods and other work product relating to his employment belong to us. Also, during the one-year period following an executive's termination of employment, he agrees not to engage in any manner in any business in the United States that competes

98


with one of our significant revenue-producing brands or with respect to which we conducted discussions relating to the acquisition of such business during the year preceding executive's termination and during his receipt of any severance payments. Furthermore, during the non-compete period, executive agrees not to solicit our employees or customers or hire our key employees.

        Equity Purchase.    In connection with the Medtech acquisition and as contemplated by their respective senior management agreements, Messrs. Mann, Anderson, Butler and Fink, and on March 17, 2004, Mr. Schrank and Mr. Millar, each acquired (1) a strip of class B preferred units and/or common units of Prestige Holdings, which are referred to as "co-invest units," and (2) additional common units, which are available only for issuance to management investors and which are referred to as "carried units." A description of the class B preferred units and the common units is set forth below under "Limited Liability Company Agreement." The purchase price of the class B preferred units and the common units was $1000 per unit and $0.10 per unit, respectively.

        Co-invest units were fully vested when purchased. Carried units, however, are subject to vesting. Fifteen percent of Mr. Mann's carried units were vested when purchased and 17% will vest annually over a period of five years from the date of purchase, subject to acceleration in the event of a sale of Prestige Holdings. Twenty percent of Messrs. Anderson, Butler, Fink, Schrank and Millar's carried units will vest annually over a period of five years from the date of purchase, subject to acceleration in the event of a sale of Prestige Holdings. The senior management agreements prohibit a management investor from transferring any of his co-invest units or carried units, subject to specified exceptions. The transfer restrictions terminate with respect to specified securities upon such securities being transferred in a public sale and with respect to all securities upon the sale of Prestige Holdings.

        As part of the Medtech and Denorex acquisition, each of the executives listed in the table below sold (1) the number of shares of Medtech common stock indicated below to us in exchange for $4.93 per share and (2) the number of shares of Denorex common stock indicated below to Prestige Personal Care, Inc. in exchange for $128.75 per share. In addition, each of Messrs. Mann, Anderson, Butler and Fink contributed the remainder of their respective Medtech common stock and Denorex common stock to Prestige Holdings in exchange for a number of class B preferred units and common units of Prestige Holdings based on a price of $1,000 per unit and $0.10 per unit, respectively.

        As part of the Spic and Span acquisition, Mr. Mann received 27,667 common units of Prestige Holdings in exchange for 8,305 shares of Spic and Span class A common stock, Mr. Anderson received 6,914 common units of Prestige Holdings in exchange for 2,074 shares of Spic and Span class A common stock, Mr. Butler received 9,233 common units of Prestige Holdings in exchange for 2,768 shares of Spic and Span class A common stock and Mr. Schrank sold 1,730 shares of Spic and Span class A common stock for cash.

        In connection with GTCR's follow-on equity investment on April 6, 2004, to partially finance the Bonita Bay acquisition, each of Messrs. Mann, Anderson, Butler and Fink's holdings of common units were reduced pursuant to anti-dilution provisions in the senior management agreements. See "Unit Purchase Agreement" below. In connection with the Bonita Bay acquisition, and as contemplated in his senior management agreement, Mr. Millar acquired a strip of class B preferred units and additional co-invest units.

        Equity Repurchase.    Prestige Holdings may be required to purchase an executive's vested units in the event of the termination of his employment:

        In addition, Prestige Holdings may be required to purchase a portion of an executive's class B preferred units at the fair market value of such securities if the investors that are a party to the unit purchase agreement elect not to purchase all of the class B preferred units contemplated to be purchased by them under such agreement, or, all of such class B preferred units have not been purchased by them under the unit purchase agreement prior to a sale of Prestige Holdings or an initial public offering of the equity of Prestige Holdings or any corporate successor thereto.

        In addition, Prestige Holdings and the investors that are party to the unit purchase agreement will have the right to purchase all or any portion of an executive's unvested units if his employment is terminated and all or any portion of the executive's vested units in the event of the termination of his employment:

100


If Prestige Holdings elects to purchase any units pursuant to the call option described in the preceding sentence, the purchase price of any such units may, among other alternatives, be paid by issuing class A preferred units to the executive. The aggregate capital contributions deemed made to Prestige Holdings in respect of such class A preferred units will be equal to the aggregate repurchase price of the units being repurchased with such class A preferred units. The purchase price for securities purchased pursuant to the call option will be:

Repurchases by Prestige Holdings under the put and call options described above are subject to:

Prestige Holdings may therefore defer repurchases while such restrictions apply.

Amended and Restated Senior Management Agreements

        In connection with the corporate reorganization, each executive exchanged the common units he held for shares of common stock. In addition, each executive entered into an amended and restated senior management agreement. The amended agreements, among other things, accelerate the vesting of the executive's unvested shares of common stock. Pursuant to the amended agreements, 25.5% of Mr. Mann's unvested shares of common stock, 30% of Mr. Anderson's unvested shares of common stock and 20% of Messrs. Butler, Fink, Schrank and Millar's unvested shares of common stock will vest immediately upon the consummation of this offering, with each executive's remaining unvested shares of common stock vesting on a daily basis through February 6, 2009. In addition, the amended agreements eliminate the right of each executive to require us to repurchase his shares of common stock in the event he ceases to be employed by us. The amended agreements also eliminate the rights of the existing equity investors and us to repurchase an executive's vested shares of common stock in the event he ceases to be employed by us. We will, however, retain our right to repurchase an executive's unvested shares of common stock, at a price equal to the lower of cost or fair market value, if he ceases to be employed by us for any reason.

101



Employee Securities Purchase Agreements

        On November 1, 2004, Prestige Holdings sold an aggregate of 337,000 common units to a total of 33 employees at a price of $0.70 per common unit. Each employee's common units are subject to vesting, with 20% vesting annually over a period of five years from the date of purchase, subject to acceleration in the event of a sale of Prestige Holdings. In connection with the corporate reorganization, each employee exchanged common units for a proportionate number of shares of our common stock.

2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan

        Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to adopt the Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. The equity incentive plan provides for grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and other equity-based awards. Directors, officers and other employees of Prestige Holdings and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing services for us, will be eligible for grants under the plan. The purpose of the equity incentive plan is to provide these individuals with incentives to maximize stockholder value and otherwise contribute to our success and to enable us to attract, retain and reward the best available persons for positions of responsibility. The following is a summary of the material terms of the equity incentive plan, but does not include all of the provisions of the plan. For further information about the plan, we refer you to the complete copy of the equity incentive plan, which we have filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        Administration.    The compensation committee of our board of directors will administer the equity incentive plan. Our board of directors also has the authority to administer the plan and to take all actions that the compensation committee is otherwise authorized to take under the plan.

        Available Shares.    A total of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock, representing 10.0% of our outstanding common stock after the offering, will be available for issuance under the equity incentive plan. The number of shares available for issuance under the equity incentive plan is subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization, stock split, merger or similar change in our corporate structure or the outstanding shares of common stock. In the event of any of these occurrences, we may make any adjustments we consider appropriate to, among other things, the number and kind of shares, options or other property available for issuance under the plan or covered by grants previously made under the plan. The shares available for issuance under the plan may be, in whole or in part, authorized and unissued or held as treasury shares.

        Eligibility.    Directors, officers and employees of Prestige Holdings and its subsidiaries, as well as other individuals performing services for us, will be eligible to receive grants under the equity incentive plan. However, only employees may receive grants of incentive stock options. In each case, the compensation committee will select the actual grantees.

        Stock Options.    Under the equity incentive plan, the compensation committee or the board of directors may award grants of incentive stock options conforming to the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and other, non-qualified stock options. The compensation committee may not, however, award to any one person in any calendar year options to purchase common stock equal to more than 25.0% of the total number of shares authorized under the plan, and it may not award incentive options first exercisable in any calendar year whose underlying shares have a fair market value greater than $100,000, determined at the time of grant.

102



        The exercise price of an option granted under the plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of an incentive option awarded to a person who owns stock constituting more than 10% of Prestige Holdings' voting power may not be less than 110% of such fair market value on such date.

        Unless the compensation committee determines otherwise, the exercise price of any option may be paid in any of the following ways:

        If a participant elects to deliver shares of common stock in payment of any part of an option's exercise price, the compensation committee may in its discretion grant the participant a "reload option." The reload option entitles its holder to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number so delivered. The reload option may also include, if the compensation committee chooses, the right to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number delivered or withheld in satisfaction of any of the Company's tax withholding requirements in connection with the exercise of the original option. The terms of each reload option will be the same as those of the original exercised option, except that the grant date will be the date of exercise of the original option, and the exercise price will be the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise.

        The compensation committee will determine the term of each option in its discretion. However, no term may exceed ten years from the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive option granted to a person who owns stock constituting more than 10% of the voting power of the Company, five years from the date of grant. In addition, all options under the equity incentive plan, whether or not then exercisable, generally cease vesting when a grantee ceases to be a director, officer or employee of, or to otherwise perform services for, the Company or its subsidiaries. Options generally expire 30 days after the date of cessation of service, so long as the grantee does not compete with the Company during the 30-day period.

        There are, however, exceptions depending upon the circumstances of cessation. In the case of a participant's death or disability, all options that are exercisable shall remain so for up to 180 days after the date of death or disability, and all options that were not exercisable will terminate upon the date of death or disability. In the case of a participant's retirement, all options that are exercisable shall remain so for up to 90 days after the date of retirement, and all options that were not exercisable will terminate upon the date of retirement. In each of the foregoing circumstances, the board of directors or compensation committee may elect to accelerate the vesting of unvested options and further extend the applicable exercise period in its discretion. Upon termination for cause, all options will terminate immediately. If we undergo a change in control and a grantee is terminated from service (other than for cause) within one year thereafter, all options will become fully vested and exercisable and remain so for up to one year after the date of termination. In addition, the compensation committee has the authority to grant options that will become fully vested and exercisable automatically upon a change in control of the Company, whether or not the grantee is subsequently terminated.

        Restricted Stock.    Under the equity incentive plan, the compensation committee may award restricted stock subject to the conditions and restrictions, and for the duration, which will generally be at least six months, that it determines in its discretion. If a participant ceases to be a director, officer or

103



employee of, or to otherwise perform services for, the Company or its subsidiaries during any period of restriction, all shares of restricted stock on which the restrictions have not lapsed shall be immediately forfeited to the Company. If, however, the cessation occurs due to death, disability or retirement, the compensation committee may elect to provide that all restrictions on shares of restricted stock granted to such participant shall lapse. If we undergo a change in control and a participant is terminated (other than for cause) from being a director, officer or employee of, or otherwise performing services for, the Company or its subsidiaries within one year after such change in control, all restrictions on shares of restricted stock granted to such participant shall lapse. In addition, the compensation committee has the authority to award shares of restricted stock with respect to which all restrictions shall lapse automatically upon a change in control of the Company, whether or not the participant is subsequently terminated.

        Restricted Stock Units; Deferred Stock Units.    Under the equity incentive plan, the compensation committee may award restricted stock units subject to the conditions and restrictions, and for the duration, which will generally be at least six months, that it determines in its discretion. Each restricted stock unit is equivalent in value to one share of common stock and entitles the grantee to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit at the end of the vesting period applicable to such restricted stock unit. If a participant ceases to be a director, officer or employee of, or to otherwise perform services for, the Company or its subsidiaries during any period of restriction, all restricted stock units on which the restrictions have not lapsed shall be immediately forfeited to the Company. If, however, the cessation occurs due to death, disability or retirement, the compensation committee may elect to provide that all restrictions on restricted stock units granted to such participant shall lapse. If we undergo a change in control and a participant is terminated (other than for cause) from being a director, officer or employee of, or otherwise performing services for, the Company or its subsidiaries within one year after such change in control, all restrictions on restricted stock units granted to such participant shall lapse. In addition, the compensation committee has the authority to award restricted stock units with respect to which all restrictions shall lapse automatically upon a change in control of the Company, whether or not the participant is subsequently terminated. Prior to the later of (i) the close of the tax year preceding the year in which restricted stock units are granted or (ii) 30 days of first becoming eligible to participate in the plan (or, if earlier, the last day of the tax year in which the participant first becomes eligible to participate in the plan) and on or prior to the date the restricted stock units are granted, a grantee may elect to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the shares due with respect to the restricted stock units and convert such restricted stock units into deferred stock units. Subject to specified exceptions, the grantee will receive shares in respect of such deferred stock units at the end of the deferral period.

        Performance Awards.    Under the equity incentive plan, the compensation committee may grant performance awards contingent upon achievement by the grantee, the Company and/or its subsidiaries or divisions of set goals and objectives regarding specified performance criteria, such as, for example, return on equity, over a specified performance cycle, as designated by the compensation committee. Performance awards may include specific dollar-value target awards, performance units, the value of which is established by the compensation committee at the time of grant, and/or performance shares, the value of which is equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The value of a performance award may be fixed or fluctuate on the basis of specified performance criteria. A performance award may be paid out in cash and/or shares of our common stock or other securities.

        Unless the compensation committee determines otherwise, if a grantee ceases to be a director, officer or employee of, or to otherwise perform services for, the Company or its subsidiaries prior to completion of a performance cycle due to death, disability or retirement, the grantee will receive the portion of the performance award payable to him or her based on achievement of the applicable

104



performance criteria over the elapsed portion of the performance cycle. If termination of employment or service occurs for any other reason prior to completion of a performance cycle, the grantee will become ineligible to receive any portion of a performance award. If we undergo a change in control, a grantee will earn no less than the portion of the performance award that he or she would have earned if the applicable performance cycle had terminated as of the date of the change in control.

        Vesting, Withholding Taxes and Transferability of All Awards.    The terms and conditions of each award made under the equity incentive plan, including vesting requirements, will be set forth consistent with the plan in a written agreement with the grantee. Except in limited circumstances, no award under the equity incentive plan may vest and become exercisable within six months of the date of grant, unless the compensation committee determines otherwise.

        Unless the compensation committee determines otherwise, a participant may elect to deliver shares of common stock, or to have us withhold shares of common stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of an option or upon grant or vesting of restricted stock or a restricted stock unit, in order to satisfy our withholding obligations in connection with any such exercise, grant or vesting.

        Unless the compensation committee determines otherwise, no award made under the equity incentive plan will be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a grantee's family member by gift or a qualified domestic relations order, and each award may be exercised only by the grantee, his or her qualified family member transferee, or any of their respective executors, administrators, guardians, or legal representatives.

        Amendment and Termination of the Equity Incentive Plan.    The board of directors may amend or terminate the equity incentive plan in its discretion, except that no amendment will become effective without prior approval of our stockholders if such approval is necessary for continued compliance with applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Furthermore, any termination may not materially and adversely affect any outstanding rights or obligations under the equity incentive plan without the affected participant's consent. If not previously terminated by the board of directors, the equity incentive plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its adoption.

We refer to Prestige International Holdings, LLC as "Prestige LLC" in this section of the prospectus.

Messrs. Donnini and Hemmer are each principals and/or members of the GTCR Funds, as set forth in note (3) of the first table under "Principal and Selling Stockholders," and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the units owned by the GTCR Funds. Messrs. Donnini and Hemmer each disclaim beneficial ownership of any such units in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.

        The per unit redemption amount for each class B preferred unit to be redeemed by Prestige LLC will be equal to the liquidation value of the class B preferred unit of $1,000 per unit plus all accrued but unpaid yield through the redemption date, assumed to be December 31, 2004 for purposes of the table set forth above.

        Assuming this offering was completed on December 31, 2004, we would have used approximately $32.2 million of net proceeds from the offering to purchase 4,146,943 shares of our common stock from the GTCR Funds and 251,007 shares from the TCW/Crescent Funds. In addition, pursuant to our reorganization, members of our management team and other employees will contribute an aggregate of 268,717 shares to us for no consideration at the completion of the offering.

Agreements Relating to Formation of Prestige International Holdings, LLC

        The following discussion summarizes various agreements and transactions entered into in connection with the formation and capitalization of Prestige LLC. Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the shares of which are being sold to the public in this offering, will be the direct parent company of Prestige LLC. This will occur pursuant to a reorganization that will take place prior to the completion of this offering. The reorganization will not affect our operations, which we will continue to conduct through our operating subsidiaries. See "Reorganization as a Corporation."

        The agreements described below resulted from negotiations between GTCR, its co-investors and management. While the terms and conditions of such agreements may not be identical to those that would have been obtained from negotiations between unaffiliated third parties, we believe the terms and conditions set forth in such agreements are customary for transactions of this type.

        Pursuant to the unit purchase agreement entered into among Prestige LLC, the GTCR investors and the co-investors, in connection with the Medtech acquisition, on February 6, 2004, the GTCR investors and the co-investors acquired a strip of class B preferred units and common units of Prestige LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $102,220,951 and $3,000,000, respectively. In addition, the GTCR investors committed to purchase up to an aggregate of 144,779.049 class B preferred units at a price of $1,000 per unit and, in any such case, the co-investors will have the option to purchase their proportionate share of such class B preferred units. The co-investors, however, will forfeit their rights to purchase additional class B preferred units should they on any occasion elect not to purchase their proportionate share of the additional class B preferred units being purchased by the GTCR investors. In connection with the Bonita Bay acquisition, the GTCR investors and the co-investors purchased 58,179.250 class B preferred units at a price of $1,000 per unit. The discretionary investment of the remaining $86,599,799 is conditioned upon the GTCR investors and the board of managers of Prestige LLC approving the proposed use of the proceeds from the investment, as well as the satisfaction of other conditions specified in the agreement.

At Prestige LLC's expense, all holders of registrable securities are entitled to the inclusion of such securities in any registration statement used by Prestige LLC to register any offering of its equity securities, other than pursuant to a registration requested by holders of a majority of the investor registrable securities or holders of a majority of TCW/Crescent registrable securities, an initial public offering of Prestige LLC's equity securities or a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8.

DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL INDEBTEDNESS

Prestige Brands Senior Credit Facility

        In connection with the consummation of the Bonita Bay acquisition, one of our subsidiaries, Prestige Brands, Inc., entered into a senior credit facility with Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent and tranche C agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch, a division of Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services Inc., as documentation agent, and a syndicate of financial institutions and institutional lenders. Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the senior credit facility.

        The senior credit facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $523.0 million. The senior credit facility provides for:

        We borrowed approximately $458.5 million under the senior credit facility to provide a portion of the proceeds required to consummate the Bonita Bay acquisition. We borrowed an additional $18.0 million under the tranche B term loan and $12.0 million under the revolving credit facility to provide a portion of the proceeds required to consummate the Vetco acquisition. The revolving credit facility will also be used for working capital and general corporate needs, including permitted acquisitions.

        Prestige Brands has the right to make up to two requests to increase the commitments under the facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $132.0 million, provided specified conditions set forth in the credit agreement are met. Each lender has a first right to participate in each incremental increase, but no lender is required to commit to any incremental increase. We have entered into an amendment to the credit agreement, effective upon the completion of this offering, that will, among other things, increase this amount to $200.0 million. In addition, the amount available under the revolving credit facility will increase to $60.0 million.

        Prestige Brands International, LLC, our intermediate holding company, and all its domestic subsidiaries, other than Prestige Brands, guarantee Prestige Brands' obligations under the senior credit facilities and their obligations arising under cash management transactions or interest rate or other hedging arrangements with any of the lenders. Prestige Brands International, LLC and its domestic subsidiaries also guarantee Prestige Brand's obligations under the 91/4% notes. The note guarantees are subordinated to the senior credit facility guarantees.

113


        The obligations under the senior credit facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Prestige Brands and each guarantor. Prestige Brands' obligations under the tranche C term loan facility are junior to the first priority security interest of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility.

        All loans under the senior credit facility bear interest, at the option of Prestige Brands, at a specified or applicable margin, plus one of the following rates:

        In the case of loans under the revolving credit facility, the specified or applicable margin is a floating rate ranging from 0.75 to 1.5% for base rate loans and 1.75 to 2.50% for Eurodollar loans. As of December 31, 2004, the applicable margin was at the highest point in the range. In the case of loans under the term loan facility, other than the tranche C term loan facility, applicable margin refers to 1.75% per annum for base rate loans and 2.75% per annum for Eurodollar loans. We have entered into an amendment to the term loan facility, effective upon the completion of this offering, that will, among other things, reduce these rates to 1.25% and 2.25%, respectively. In the case of loans under the tranche C term loan facility, applicable margin is 3.75% per annum for base rate loans and 4.75% per annum for Eurodollar loans.

        Default Interest.    During the continuance of a material event of default, loans may bear interest at an additional 2% per annum.

        Unused Commitment Fee.    Prestige Brands must pay a non-refundable, unused commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

        The term loan facility, other than the tranche C term loan facility, matures on April 6, 2011, and the tranche C term loan facility matures 180 days later. Prestige Brands must make a quarterly amortization payment on each loan under the term loan facility, other than the tranche C term loan facility, equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the term loans, other than the tranche C term loan.

        The revolving credit facility matures, and the commitments relating to the revolving credit facility terminate, on April 6, 2009.

        Prestige Brands may make optional prepayments of borrowings under the senior credit facility other than the tranche C facility, and optional reductions of the unutilized portion of the revolving credit facility commitments, without premium or penalty. The tranche C term loan facility is subject to prepayment restrictions and premiums. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay approximately $100.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the tranche C facility. In connection therewith, we have entered into an amendment to the term loan facility, effective upon the completion of this offering, that will allow us, among other things, to make optional prepayments on the tranche C facility from the net proceeds of this offering.

114



        Prestige Brands is required to make mandatory prepayments on the senior credit facility to the extent it receives net cash proceeds from asset sales subject to a $5.0 million basket, debt issuances or other dispositions of property. If Prestige Brands' leverage ratio is greater than 4.50 to 1.0 for the most recent four fiscal quarter period, it must use 50% of the net cash proceeds it receives from equity issuances to prepay its loans under the senior credit facility. Beginning on the last day of fiscal year 2005, if Prestige Brands' leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 to 1.0, it is required to use a portion of any excess cash flow to make prepayments under the senior credit facility. As of the quarter ended December 31, 2004, Prestige Brands' leverage ratio was 6.47 to 1.0. These prepayments are subject to percentage limitations, reinvestment rights and other exceptions set forth in the credit agreement. We have entered into an amendment to our credit agreement, effective upon completion of this offering, that will, among other things, eliminate our requirement to make prepayments as a result of the equity issuances described in this paragraph.

        Prestige Brands has not made, nor has it been required to make, prepayments on the loans under the senior credit facility. If Prestige Brands is required to make prepayments under the senior credit facility, it may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

        The senior credit facility contains financial ratio covenants that require Prestige Brands to:

        We have entered into an amendment to our credit agreement, effective upon completion of the offering, that will, among other things, amend the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants set forth above to require Prestige Brands to:

        In addition, the senior credit facility contains representations and warranties and affirmative covenants relating to the status of Prestige Brands and its subsidiaries and requiring it to, among other

115



things, remain in good standing and comply with laws and material contracts. In addition, there are negative covenants which, among other things, limit our ability to:

As of December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

        The senior credit facility contains events of default, which, if triggered, allow the agent at the request of the applicable lenders to terminate all commitments and declare all amounts under the loans immediately due and payable. The following events, among others, after the lapse of applicable cure periods or required notice constitute events of default under the senior credit facility:

Prestige Brands 91/4% Senior Subordinated Notes

        In April 2004, in connection with the Bonita Bay acquisition, our subsidiary, Prestige Brands, Inc., issued $210,000,000 of 91/4% senior subordinated notes due 2012, pursuant to an indenture, dated April 6, 2004, among Prestige Brands, Inc., as issuer, the guarantors named in the indenture and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 91/4% notes will mature on April 15, 2012, and interest on

116


the 91/4% notes is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The net proceeds of the offering of the 91/4% notes, together with borrowings under the senior credit facility, were used to consummate the Bonita Bay acquisition, repay outstanding indebtedness and to pay related fees and expenses.

        The 91/4% notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of Prestige Brands and are subordinated to the senior credit facility and other existing and future senior indebtedness. The 91/4% notes rank equally to senior subordinated indebtedness and rank senior to subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the 91/4% notes effectively rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Prestige Brands' subsidiaries that are not guarantors, which consist of non-domestic subsidiaries. Because the 91/4% notes are subordinated, in the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution and acceleration of or payment default on senior indebtedness, holders of the 91/4% notes will not receive any payment until holders of senior indebtedness and senior guarantor indebtedness have been paid in full.

        Prestige Brands International, LLC, our intermediate holding company, and all its domestic subsidiaries, other than Prestige Brands, have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis Prestige Brands' obligations under the 91/4% notes and all of its obligations under the 91/4% notes indenture. Such subsidiary guarantors have agreed to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the trustee or the holders of 91/4% notes in enforcing any rights under the note guarantees. The obligations of the guarantors under the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with other indebtedness of such guarantor, except to the extent such other indebtedness is expressly subordinate to the obligations arising under the guarantee. The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee is limited as necessary to prevent that guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

        Except as described below, the 91/4% notes are not redeemable until April 15, 2008. On and after April 15, 2008, Prestige Brands may redeem all or any portion of the 91/4% notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the indenture. The 91/4% notes may be redeemed at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 91/4% notes, if any, to the applicable redemption date, but excluding the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below:

Year

  Percentage
2008   104.625%
2009   102.313%
2010 and thereafter   100.000%

        At any time prior to April 15, 2008, Prestige Brands may redeem all or any portion of the 91/4% notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the indenture at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

        (1)   100% of the principal amount of the 91/4% notes to be redeemed, and

117



        (2)   the sum of the present values of (a) the redemption price of the 91/4% notes at April 15, 2008 (as set forth in the preceding paragraph) and (b) the remaining scheduled payments of interest from the redemption date through, April 15, 2008, but excluding accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date, assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months, at the treasury rate plus 75 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, including special interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date.

        In addition, at any time and from time to time, prior to April 15, 2007, Prestige Brands may redeem up to a maximum of 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 91/4% notes with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount of 91/4% notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including special interest, on the redeemed notes, if any, to but excluding the redemption date; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 60% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 91/4% notes issued on the issue date remains outstanding. We plan to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to redeem 40% of the outstanding 91/4% notes for approximately $84.0 million, not including a redemption premium of approximately $7.8 million.

        If a change of control occurs, Prestige Brands will be required to offer to purchase the 91/4% notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount the 91/4% notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. A "change of control" is generally defined under the 91/4% notes indenture to mean when any of the following occur:

        (1)   any "person" or "group" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting stock of Prestige Brands or Prestige Brands International, LLC, our intermediate holding company and indirect parent of Prestige Brands, (for the purposes of this clause, such person or group shall be deemed to beneficially own any voting stock of Prestige Brands or Prestige Brands International, LLC held by a parent entity, if such person or group beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the voting power of the voting stock of such parent entity);

        (2)   the sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all the property of Prestige Brands International, LLC and its domestic subsidiaries, considered as a whole, shall have occurred, or Prestige Brands International, LLC, Prestige Products Holdings, Inc., the direct parent of Prestige Brands, or Prestige Brands merges, consolidates or amalgamates with or into any other person (other than one or more permitted holders, as defined in the indenture) or any other person (other than one or more permitted holders) merges, consolidates or amalgamates with or into Prestige Brands International, LLC, Prestige Products Holdings, Inc. or Prestige Brands, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which the outstanding voting stock of such entity is reclassified into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where (a) the outstanding voting stock of such entity is reclassified into or exchanged for other voting stock of such entity or for voting stock of the Surviving Person, and (b) the holders of the voting stock of such entity immediately prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, not less than a majority of the voting stock of such entity or the surviving person immediately after such transaction and in substantially the same proportion as before the transaction;

        (3)   during any 2-year period, the members of the board of managers of Prestige Brands International, LLC at the beginning of the period no longer constitute at least a majority of the board of directors; or

118



        (4)   the equity holders of Prestige Brands International, LLC approve any plan of liquidation or dissolution.

        The 91/4% notes indenture contain customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults to mortgages, indentures or other instruments, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults, and failure of any guarantee of the 91/4% notes to be in full force and effect.

        The 91/4% notes indenture contains covenants for the benefit of the holders of the 91/4% notes that, among other things, limit the ability of Prestige Brands International, LLC and any of its restricted subsidiaries to:

        These limitations are, however, subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

        The foregoing summary of the 91/4% notes indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the 91/4% notes indenture, which has been filed with the SEC. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General Matters

        Upon completion of this offering, our total amount of authorized capital stock will be 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Upon completion of the offering and application of the proceeds therefrom, 50,000,000 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock will be issued and outstanding. The discussion set forth below describes the most important terms of our capital stock, certificate of incorporation and by-laws as will be in effect upon completion of this offering. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description you should refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and to the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Common Stock

        All of our existing common stock is, and the shares of common stock being offered by us and the selling stockholders, if any, in this offering will be, upon payment therefor, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the principal terms of our common stock.

        Dividend Rights.    Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at the times and in the amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine. For more information, see "Dividend Policy."

        Voting Rights.    Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

        Preemptive or Similar Rights.    Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of our securities.

        Conversion Rights.    Our common stock is not convertible.

        Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions.    Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive pro rata our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding.

        NYSE Listing.    Our common stock has been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PBH." In order to meet one of the requirements for listing our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the underwriters will undertake to sell 100 or more shares of our common stock to a minimum of 2,000 beneficial holders.

Preferred Stock

        Following this offering, our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in any series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each series. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the

120



amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up before any payment is made to the holders of shares of common stock. Under specified circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, the board of directors, without stockholder approval, may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of common stock. Upon consummation of the offering, there will be no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Registration Rights

        Under our registration rights agreement with the GTCR funds, the TCW/Crescent funds and members of our management team, holders of a majority of registrable securities, as defined under the agreement, will have the right, subject to specified conditions, to request that we register any or all of their securities under the Securities Act on Form S-1, which we refer to as a "long-form registration", at our expense, or on Form S-2 or Form S-3, which we refer to as a "short-form registration", at our expense. In addition, following this offering, subject to specified conditions, the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent registrable securities have the right to request one short-form registration at our expense. We are not required, however, to effect any long-form registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous long-form registration or a previous registration in which the holders of registrable securities were given the piggyback rights described in the following sentence, without any reduction. At our expense, all holders of registrable securities are entitled to the inclusion of such securities in any registration statement used by us to register any offering of our equity securities, other than pursuant to a registration requested by holders of a majority of the registrable securities or holders of a majority of TCW/Crescent registrable securities, an initial public offering of our equity securities or a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8.

Anti-takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board of directors and which may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of the company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by the board of directors.

        These provisions include:

        Special Meetings of Stockholders.    Our certificate of incorporation provides that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders can only be called by the chairman of the board of directors or our chief executive officer, or pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require the board of directors to call a special meeting.

        Advance Notice Procedures.    Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record

121



date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder's intention to bring that business before the meeting.

        In the case of an annual meeting of stockholders, notice by a stockholder, in order to be timely, must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. In the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or 60 days after the anniversary date, in order to be timely, notice by a stockholder must be received not later than the tenth day following the earlier of the date on which notice of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made.

        In the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, notice by the stockholder, in order to be timely, must be received not later than the tenth day following the earlier of the date on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made.

        Although the bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or defer a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the company.

        The Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless either a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws require a greater percentage. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of holders of at least 662/3% of the total votes eligible to be cast in the election of directors will be required to amend, alter, change or repeal our bylaws and specified provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. This requirement of a super-majority vote to approve amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws could enable a minority of our stockholders to exercise veto power over any such amendments.

        Authorized but Unissued Shares.    Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to the requirements of applicable law or regulation, including any listing requirement of the principal stock exchange on which our common stock is then listed. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

122



Corporate Opportunities and Transactions with GTCR

        In recognition that directors, officers, stockholders, members, managers and/or employees of GTCR and its affiliates and investment funds (collectively, the "GTCR entities") may serve as our directors and/or officers, and that the GTCR entities and our other non-employee directors may engage in similar activities or lines of business that we do, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the allocation of certain corporate opportunities between us and such persons. Specifically, neither the GTCR entities nor any of our non-employee directors will have any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business that we do. In the event that any GTCR entity or non-employee director acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for such persons and us, we will not have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity, and such persons will not have any duty to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to us and may pursue or acquire such corporate opportunity for themselves or direct such opportunity to another person. In addition, if any GTCR entity or non-employee director acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for us and such person, we will not have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity unless such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company.

        In recognition that we may engage in material business transactions with the GTCR entities, from which we are expected to benefit, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any of our directors or officers who are also directors, officers, stockholders, members, managers and/or employees of any GTCR entity will have fully satisfied and fulfilled his or her fiduciary duty to us and our stockholders with respect to such transaction, if:

        Any amendment to the foregoing provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of all shares of our common stock then outstanding.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

        Upon the closing of this offering, the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock will be EquiServe Trust Company, N.A.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR
NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

        The following discussion of certain U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations relevant to Non-U.S. Holders of our common stock is for general information only.

        As used in this prospectus, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of our common stock other than:

        If a partnership, including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a holder of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership, and partners in such partnership, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

        This discussion does not consider:


        The following discussion is based on provisions of the Code, applicable Treasury regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date of this prospectus, and all of which are subject to change, retroactively or prospectively. We have not requested a ruling from the U.S.

124


Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase or ownership of our common stock to a Non-U.S. Holder. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will not take a position contrary to such statements or that any such contrary position taken by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service would not be sustained.

        You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any tax consequences arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax rules or under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

Dividends

        We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy." If distributions are paid on shares of our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will constitute a return of capital that is applied against and reduces, but not below zero, a Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remainder will constitute gain on the common stock. See "—Gain on Disposition of Common Stock." The dividends on our common stock paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate on the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be provided by an applicable income tax treaty.

        Dividends that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States or attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States under an applicable income tax treaty, known as "U.S. trade or business income," are generally not subject to the 30% withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder files the appropriate U.S. Internal Revenue Service form with the payor. However, such U.S. trade or business income, net of specified deductions and credits, generally is taxed at the same graduated rates as applicable to U.S. persons. Any U.S. trade or business income received by a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

        A Non-U.S. Holder who claims the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty generally will be required to satisfy applicable certification and other requirements prior to the distribution date. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.

        A Non-U.S. Holder that is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax or other exclusion from withholding under an income tax treaty but that did not timely provide required certifications or other requirements, or that has received a distribution subject to withholding in excess of the amount properly treated as a dividend, may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

125



Gain on Disposition of Common Stock

        A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (or withholding thereof) in respect of gain recognized on a disposition of our common stock unless:

        Generally, a corporation is a "U.S. real property holding corporation" if the fair market value of its "U.S. real property interests" equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. The tax relating to stock in a "U.S. real property holding corporation" generally will not apply to a Non-U.S. Holder whose holdings, direct and indirect, at all times during the applicable period, constituted 5% or less of our common stock, provided that our common stock was regularly traded on an established securities market. We believe we have never been, are not currently and are not likely to become a U.S. real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the future.

Federal Estate Tax

        Common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is a Non-U.S. Holder at the time of death will be included in such individual's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax or other treaty provides otherwise.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax

        We must report annually to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to that holder and the tax withheld with respect to those dividends. Copies of the information returns reporting those dividends and the amount of tax withheld may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

        U.S. federal backup withholding, currently at a 28% rate, generally will not apply to payments of dividends made by us or our paying agents, in their capacities as such, to a Non-U.S. Holder if the holder has provided the required certification that it is not a U.S. person or certain other requirements are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient.

        Payments of the proceeds from a disposition or a redemption effected outside the United States by or through a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, information reporting, but generally not backup withholding, will apply to such a payment if the broker has certain connections with the United States unless the broker has

126



documentary evidence in its records that the beneficial owner thereof is a Non-U.S. Holder and specified conditions are met or an exemption is otherwise established.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder that result in an overpayment of taxes generally will be refunded, or credited against the holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

        Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding application of backup withholding in their particular circumstance and the availability of, and procedure for obtaining, an exemption from backup withholding under current U.S. Treasury regulations.

127



SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE RESALE

        Prior to this offering, there was no market for our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that the sale of our common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market following the offering could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and adversely affect our ability to raise capital at a time and on terms favorable to us.

Sale of Restricted Shares

        Upon completion of this offering, we will have 50,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Of these shares of common stock, the 28,000,000 shares of common stock being sold in this offering, plus any shares sold upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, will be freely tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for any such shares which may be held or acquired by an "affiliate" of ours, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which shares will be subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions of Rule 144 described below. The remaining shares of common stock held by our existing stockholders upon completion of the offering will be "restricted securities," as that phrase is defined in Rule 144, and may not be resold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration, including among others, the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or 144(k) under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. Taking into account the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rule 144 additional shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

Rule 144

        In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus, a person or persons whose shares are aggregated, who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year, including persons who may be deemed to be our "affiliates," would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

        Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of certain public information about us.

128



Rule 144(k)

        Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our "affiliates" at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an "affiliate," is entitled to sell these shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan

        Following the completion of this offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. Any such Form S-8 registration statement will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market, unless such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with us or the lock-up restrictions described below. We expect that the registration statement on Form S-8 will cover 5,000,000 shares.

        No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, future sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. The sale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of our common stock.

Lock-up Agreements

        We and our executive officers, directors and existing stockholders (after giving effect to the corporate reorganization) have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the underwriters, we will not, during the period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus:

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 180th day after the date of this prospectus occurs within 17 days following an earnings release by us or the occurrence of material news or a material event related to us, or if we intend to issue an earnings release within 16 days following the 180th day, the 180-day period will be extended to the 18th day following such earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event unless such extension is waived by Merrill Lynch and Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of the underwriters.

        These restrictions do not apply to any transfers (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, so long as the donee or donees agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions in the lock-up agreement, (ii) to any trust, partnership, corporation or other entity formed for the direct or indirect benefit of the transferor or

129



the immediate family of the transferor, so long as a duly authorized officer, representative or trustee of the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions in the lock-up agreement, and so long as the transfer does not involve a disposition for value, (iii) if the transfer occurs by operation of law, such as rules of descent and distribution, statutes governing the effects of a merger or a qualified domestic order, so long as the transferee executes an agreement acknowledging that the transferee is receiving and holding the shares subject to the provisions of the lock-up agreements or (iv) to an affiliate (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the transferor, so long as such affiliate agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions in the lock-up agreement. In addition, these restrictions do not apply to grants of options to purchase common stock or issuances of shares of restricted stock or other equity-based awards pursuant to our equity incentive plan described in this prospectus.

        The underwriters do not intend to release any portion of the common stock subject to the foregoing lock-up agreements; however the underwriters, in their sole discretion, may release any of the common stock from the lock-up agreements prior to expiration of the 180-day period without notice. In considering a request to release shares from a lock-up agreement, the underwriters will consider a number of factors, including the impact that such a release would have on this offering and the market for our common stock and the equitable considerations underlying the request for releases.

Registration Rights

        See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" and "Description of Capital Stock" for a description of the registration agreement we have entered into with certain of our stockholders.

        The underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the shares sold under the purchase agreement if any of these shares are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the purchase agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the purchase agreement may be terminated.

        We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

        The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the purchase agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer's certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or part.

        Merrill Lynch will be facilitating Internet distribution for this offering to certain of its Internet subscription customers. Merrill Lynch intends to allocate a limited number of shares for sale to its online brokerage customers. An electronic prospectus is available on the Internet Website maintained by Merrill Lynch. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Merrill Lynch Website is not part of this prospectus.

Commissions and Discounts

        The representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer the shares to the public at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $.60 per share. The underwriters may allow, and the dealers may

131



reallow, a discount not in excess of $.10 per share to other dealers. After the public offering, the public offering price, concession and discount may be changed.

        The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before expenses to us. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of the overallotment option.

 
  Per Share
  Without Option
  With Option
Public offering price   $ 16.00   $ 448,000,000   $ 515,200,000
Underwriting discount   $ 1.00   $ 28,000,000   $ 32,200,000
Proceeds, before expenses, to us   $ 15.00   $ 420,000,000   $ 420,000,000
Proceeds, before expenses, to the selling
stockholders
  $ 15.00       $ 63,000,000

        The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated at $4,000,000 and are payable by us.

Overallotment Option

        The selling stockholders have granted options to the underwriters to purchase up to 4,200,000 additional shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise these options for 30 days from the date of this prospectus solely to cover any overallotments. If the underwriters exercise these options, each will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the purchase agreements, to purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriter's initial amount reflected in the above table.

Reserved Shares

        At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial public offering price, up to 5% of the shares offered by this prospectus for sale to our employees, directors, families of employees and directors, business associates and other third parties. If these persons purchase reserved shares, this will reduce the number of shares available for sale to the general public. Any reserved shares that are not orally confirmed for purchase within one day of the pricing of this offering will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other shares offered by this prospectus.

No Sale of Similar Securities

        We, our existing stockholders, our executive officers and our directors have agreed, with specified exceptions, not to sell or transfer any of our common stock for 180 days after the date of this prospectus without first obtaining the written consent of Merrill Lynch and Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of the underwriters. Specifically, we and these other individuals have agreed not to directly or indirectly:

132


        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 180th day after the date of this prospectus occurs within 17 days following an earnings release by us or the occurrence of material news or a material event related to us, or if we intend to issue an earnings release within 16 days following the 180th day, the 180-day period will be extended to the 18th day following such earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event unless such extension is waived by Merrill Lynch and Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of the underwriters.

        This lock-up provision applies to common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with common stock. It also applies to common stock owned now or acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires power of disposition.

New York Stock Exchange Listing

        Our common stock has been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PBH." In order to meet the requirements for listing of the shares on that exchange, the underwriters have undertaken to sell a minimum number of shares to a minimum number of beneficial owners.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

        Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the representative may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

        If the underwriters create a short position in the common stock in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more shares than are listed on the cover of this prospectus, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing shares in the open market. The representative may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the underwriters' option described above. Purchases of our common stock to stabilize its price or to reduce a short position may cause the price of our common stock to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases.

        The representatives may also impose a penalty bid on underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase shares in the open market to reduce the underwriter's short position or to stabilize the price of such shares, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those shares. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of the shares in that it discourages resales of those shares.

        Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the representative will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

133



Sales Outside the United States

        Each underwriter has represented, warranted and agreed that: (i) it has not offered or sold and, prior to the expiry of a period of six months from the Closing date, will not offer or sell any shares to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (ii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA")) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any shares in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer; and (iii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the shares in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

        The shares may not be offered or sold, transferred or delivered, as part of their initial distribution or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, to any individual or legal entity in the Netherlands other than to individuals or legal entities who or which trade or invest in securities in the conduct of their profession or trade, which includes banks, securities intermediaries, insurance companies, pension funds, other institutional investors and commercial enterprises which, as an ancillary activity, regularly trade or invest in securities.

        The shares may not be offered or sold by means of any document other than to persons whose ordinary business is to buy or sell shares or debentures, whether as principal or agent, or in circumstances which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) of Hong Kong, and no advertisement, invitation or document relating to the shares may be issued, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to shares which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to "professional investors" within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong and any rules made thereunder.

        This prospectus has not been registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this prospectus and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation or subscription or purchase, of the securities may not be circulated or distributed, nor may the securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore other than under circumstances in which such offer, sale or invitation does not constitute an offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the securities to the public in Singapore.

        The securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan (the Securities and Exchange Law) and each underwriter has agreed that it will not offer or sell any securities, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to a resident of Japan, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Securities and Exchange Law and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except unit data)

1.     Business and Basis of Presentation

        On February 6, 2004, Prestige International Holdings, LLC ("Prestige Holdings" or the "Company"), through two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Medtech Holdings, Inc. ("Medtech") and The Denorex Company ("Denorex") (collectively the "Predecessor Company") (the "Medtech Acquisition"). Prestige Holdings is controlled by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner II, LLC. On March 5, 2004, the Company, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of The Spic and Span Company ("Spic and Span") (the "Spic and Span Acquisition"). On April 6, 2004, the Company, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. ("Bonita Bay") (the "Bonita Bay Acquisition"). On October 6, 2004, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Vetco, Inc. ("Vetco") (the "Vetco Acquisition").

        The Company is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter, personal care and household cleaning brands to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and club stores primarily in the United States.

        The unaudited consolidated financial information herein has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

        The Medtech Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. As a result, the combined Medtech and Denorex assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value as of February 6, 2004, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". For financial reporting purposes, Medtech and Denorex, which were under common control and management, are considered the predecessor entities. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 represent the combined historical financial statements of Medtech and its subsidiaries and Denorex ("predecessor basis"). The balance sheets of the Company as of December 31 and March 31, 2004 and the results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 reflect those purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Medtech Acquisition ("successor basis"). The Spic and Span, Bonita Bay and Vetco Acquisitions were also accounted for as purchase transactions. The results of operations and cash flows for Spic and Span, Bonita Bay and Vetco have been reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and cash flows beginning on their respective acquisition dates. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

F-8



        In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123R ("Share-Based Payment"). SFAS 123R requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for equity instruments awarded to employees. SFAS 123R is effective for the Company as of the beginning of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

To finance the acquisition, the Company used cash on hand of approximately $20,649 and borrowed an additional $12,000 on its Revolving Credit Facility and $18,000 on its Tranche B Term Loan Facility.

6.     Equity Issuances

        On February 6, 2004, in connection with the Medtech acquisition, certain senior executive officers purchased an aggregate of 5,282,269 common units of Prestige International Holdings, LLC at $.10 per unit. These units were purchased on the same day and at the same price that GTCR and TCW/Crescent Partners, the Company's unrelated equity investors (the "Sponsors"), purchased 50,000,000 common units. The value of the common units purchased in connection with the Medtech acquisition was determined by subtracting from the acquisition purchase price, the total debt outstanding immediately following the acquisition and the liquidation value of outstanding preferred units issued in the acquisition. On March 17, 2004, other executive officers purchased an aggregate of

F-12



405,103 common units at a price of $.10 per unit. The Sponsors did not purchase any common units at this time. On April 6, 2004, two employees purchased an aggregate of 50,435 common units at a price of $.10 per unit. The Sponsors did not purchase any common units at this time. Each of the above-referenced purchase transactions by management were conducted at fair market value based upon the price paid by the Sponsors in the original February 2004 acquisition and the fact that the such purchases were made at the same price and at the same time or shortly thereafter.

        On November 1, 2004, certain non-executive employees purchased an aggregate of 337,000 common units for $0.70 per unit, which was equal to fair market value. This determination was based on a contemporaneous valuation. The valuation utilized traditional methodologies, including market multiples, comparable transaction and discounted cash flow. The Company relied on this fair market value analysis in setting the $0.70 per unit price for the purchases. The Company awarded a total bonus of $235,900 to allow employees to purchase such units. In connection therewith, the Company recorded a bonus expense of $235,900. In this regard, all employee purchases were conducted at fair market value based upon a contemporaneous valuation.

7.     Business Segments

8.     Commitments and Contingencies

        In June 2003, a lawsuit, Theodosakis v. Walgreens, et al, was filed in Federal District Court in Arizona, in which the plaintiff alleged that Medtech Products, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medtech, and others infringed the dress trade of a book titled "The Arthritis Cure" in connection with the sale of dietary supplement products under the core trademark ARTHx. In addition, the complaint alleged that Medtech Products and others made false endorsements, engaged in unfair competition, made false designations of origin and invaded the privacy rights of the plantiff. The ARTHx trademarks, goodwill and inventory were sold by Medtech Products to a third party, Contract Pharmacal Corporation, in March 2003. On January 12, 2005, the court granted our motion for summary judgement and dismissed all claims against us. The plaintiff has a right to perfect an appeal within 30 days.

        The Company is also involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to its business. When it appears probable in management's judgment that the Company will incur monetary damages or other costs in connection with such claims and proceedings, and such costs can be reasonably estimated, liabilities are recorded in the financial statements and charges are recorded against earnings. The Company believes the resolution of such routine matters and other incidental claims, taking into account reserves and insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

9.     Subsequent Event

        In January 2005, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to offer 23,333,333 shares of its common stock to the public.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and unit data)

1.     Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        On February 6, 2004, Prestige International Holdings, LLC ("Prestige Holdings" or the "Company"), through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Medtech Holdings, Inc. ("Medtech") and The Denorex Company ("Denorex") (collectively the "Predecessor Company") (the "Medtech Acquisition"). Prestige Holdings is controlled by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner, LLC ("GTCR"). On March 5, 2004, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of The Spic and Span Company ("Spic and Span") (the "Spic and Span Acquisition"). On April 6, 2004, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. ("Bonita Bay") (the "Bonita Bay Acquisition"). The Medtech, Spic and Span and Bonita Bay Acquisitions are further discussed in Note 2.

        The Company is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter, personal care brands and household cleaning brands to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and hospitals primarily in the United States.

        The Medtech Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. As a result, the combined Medtech and Denorex assets and liabilities have been adjusted to fair value as of February 6, 2004, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS No. 141). For financial reporting purposes, Medtech and Denorex, which were under common control and management, are considered the predecessor entities. Accordingly, the balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, represent the combined historical financial statements of Medtech and its subsidiaries and Denorex ("predecessor basis"). The balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect those purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Medtech Acquisition ("successor basis") and the Spic and Span Acquisition. The Bonita Bay Acquisition was also accounted for as a purchase transaction subsequent to March 31, 2004. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-22


        Substantially all of the Company's cash is held by two banks located in Wyoming and California, respectively. 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.

        The Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To minimize credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and reserves are maintained; however collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its historical collections experience as well as its evaluation of current and expected conditions and trends affecting its customers.

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory.

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Machinery   5 years
Computer equipment   3 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years

        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 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.

        The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition transactions is classified as goodwill. Through March 31, 2002, goodwill was amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years. Effective April 1, 2002, the Predecessor Company ceased amortization of goodwill as described in Note 7. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but performs certain fair value tests of the carrying value at least annually.

F-23


        Other long-term assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For amortizable intangible assets, amortization is computed on the straight-line method as follows:

Trademarks   15–30 years   (predecessor basis)
Trademarks     5–30 years   (successor basis)

        The Company and Predecessor Company have incurred debt issuance costs in connection with their long-term debt. These costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt.

        Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually.

        Amortizable intangible assets 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.

        Revenues are recognized when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) there is a fixed or determinable price; (3) delivery has occurred; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. These criteria are satisfied (and revenue is recognized) upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer discounts and returns at the time of sale.

        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 slotting fees. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.

        The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's common stock or units and the exercise price of the option.

F-24


        The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The tax effects of the Company's operations are passed directly to the members. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements for income or loss generated by Prestige International Holdings, LLC. Medtech, Denorex and Spic and Span are taxed as corporations. The Company and Predecessor Company account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 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. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

        SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), requires companies to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the 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 an international operation.

        The Company and Predecessor Company have designated their derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular 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 gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.

        In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003)," FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, as defined. For entities created after December 31, 2003, the Company will be required to apply FIN 46R as of the date it first becomes involved with the entity. FIN 46R is effective for the Company for entities created before December 31, 2003, for the period ending March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Under SFAS No. 150, an issuer is required to classify financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable, financial instruments that, at inception, embody an obligation to

F-25



repurchase the issuer's equity shares and financial instruments that embody an unconditional obligation, as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2004. On November 7, 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 150 as they apply to certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. This deferral is expected to remain in effect while these provisions are further evaluated by the FASB. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2.     Acquisitions

        On February 6, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Medtech and Denorex for a purchase price of approximately $244,270 (including fees and expenses of $2,371). The initial purchase price is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment which is not expected to have a material effect on the initial purchase price.

        On March 5, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Spic and Span for a purchase price of approximately $30,268.

        The value of the Prestige Holdings Class B Preferred Units and the Prestige Holdings Common Units issued to the selling shareholders was determined based on the cash consideration received from GTCR and other investors concurrently with the acquisitions. The value of the Prestige Holdings Senior Preferred Units issued to the selling shareholders in the Spic and Span Acquisition was determined based on the estimated cash flows that will accrue to the owners of the Senior Preferred Units, the timing of receipt and a market based required rate of return for the Senior Preferred Units. A "unit" is an equity interest of a unitholder in the profits, losses and distributions of a limited liability company, or "LLC."

3.     Discontinued Operations

        Effective March 28, 2003, the Predecessor Company sold substantially all of the assets of Pecos Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Pecos"), one of the Predecessor Company's three reporting units, to Contract Pharmacal Corporation (the "Purchaser"). The sale included all inventory and intangible assets related to the Pecos products. The sales price consisted of up to $1,000 of cash, all of which was subject to an earn-out provision based on the achievement of certain contribution margins from future sales by the Purchaser. Subsequent to March 31, 2004, the Company received $445 from the Purchaser in full

F-29


satisfaction of the earn-out provision. The Company recorded this consideration as an acquired receivable in purchase accounting.

        In connection with the sale, the Predecessor Company agreed to indemnify the Purchaser for up to $3,000 of potential sales returns, less the cost of inventory transferred to the Purchaser as part of this transaction. Accordingly, the Predecessor Company recorded a liability of $2,272 related to this indemnification. In addition, the Predecessor Company recorded a loss on the sale of inventory totaling $1,220. These amounts have been included in the loss on disposal of the Pecos reporting unit for the year ended March 31, 2003.

        In accordance with the sale agreement, the Predecessor Company was required to deposit $700 of cash into a legally restricted escrow account. This cash was returned to the Company in March 2004 as the Company and Predecessor Company had fully complied with the terms of the sale agreement.

        The results of operations of the Pecos reporting unit for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 have been classified as loss from operations of the discontinued Pecos reporting unit.

        Revenues of the discontinued Pecos reporting unit were $4,587 and $12,427 for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (predecessor basis), respectively.

7.     Goodwill

        Effective April 1, 2002, the Predecessor Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 requires that companies perform periodic evaluations of potential impairment of goodwill, with the initial assessment to be completed during the first six months of the year in which SFAS 142 is first applied. The Predecessor Company performed an evaluation of its goodwill, and determined that an impairment charge equal to the goodwill carrying amount of $18,252 ($11,785 net of tax benefit of $6,467) should be recorded as of April 1, 2002 related to the Predecessor Company's Pecos reporting unit. As provided in SFAS 142, this impairment charge was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The change in carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:

Predecessor Basis        
Balance as of March 31, 2002   $ 18,252  
Transition impairment adjustment recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of April 1, 2002     (18,252 )
   
 
Balance as of March 31, 2003

Goodwill acquired in the Medtech Acquisition     55,594  
   
 
Balance as of March 31, 2004   $ 55,594  
   
 

F-31


        As a result of the adoption of SFAS 142, no amortization of goodwill has been recorded since April 1, 2002. For the year ended March 31, 2002, the Predecessor Company recorded amortization of goodwill of $962, net of income tax benefit of $518.

        The following table reflects what the Predecessor Company's net income (loss) would have been for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 before the change in accounting principle and exclusive of amortization expense related to goodwill:

        On March 1, 2001, the Predecessor Company renegotiated an existing license and option agreement ("New Agreement") with two affiliated entities ("Licensors") and made an initial option payment of $2,500. The New Agreement granted the Predecessor Company an exclusive license to manufacture, distribute and sell products for which the Licensors own the rights until October 15, 2008 (the "Term"). The New Agreement required annual payments to the Licensors. For the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the annual payments totaled $1,325, $1,300 and $1,040, respectively, of which $265, and $256 and $208, respectively, were allocated to the option agreement. In addition, the New Agreement granted the Predecessor Company an option to purchase the Licensors' rights and intellectual property for $10,000 at any time during the Term. In conjunction with the Medtech Acquisition, the Company exercised the option.

        In connection with the agreement, the Company assumed certain contractual obligations, including royalty agreements for certain of the licensed products. Royalty costs were approximately $73 for the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004 (successor basis) and $450, $1,208 and $977 for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (predecessor basis), respectively.

        In order to finance the Bonita Bay Acquisition and repay certain existing indebtedness, including debt incurred in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, and pay related fees and expenses, the Company entered into the financing agreements set forth in the following paragraphs.

F-34


        On April 6, 2004, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility", consisting of a $50,000 non-amortizing senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"), a $355,000 senior secured term loan facility, ("Tranche B Term Loan Facility") and a $100,000 second lien term loan facility ("Tranche C Term Loan Facility"). On April 6, 2004, the Company through a wholly owned subsidiary, also issued $210,000 of 9.25% senior subordinated notes ("Senior Subordinated Notes").

        The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Tranche B and C Term Loan Facilities bear interest at the Company's option of either prime (4.25% at April 6, 2004) or LIBOR (1.125% at April 6, 2004) plus a variable margin and mature on April 6, 2011 and October 6, 2011, respectively. At April 6, 2004, the applicable interest rates on the Tranche B and C Term Loan Facilities were 4.075% and 7.75% respectively. Interest payments on Tranche C are due quarterly. Principal and interest payments on Tranche B are due quarterly.

        The Revolving Credit Facility is available until April 6, 2009. At April 6, 2004, the Company was eligible to borrow $50 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, of which there was $3,512 outstanding. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Company's option of either prime plus a variable margin or LIBOR plus a variable margin. The variable margin ranges from 0.75% to 2.50%. At April 6, 2004, the applicable interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.5%. The Company is also required to pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. At April 6, 2004, the applicable rate was 0.50%.

        The Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes") mature on April 15, 2012 and bear interest at 9.25%. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15, each year, beginning on October 15, 2004. The total principal amount is due on April 15, 2012. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes on or prior to April 15, 2008 at a redemption price equal to 100% plus a make-whole premium and on or after April 15, 2008 at redemption prices set forth in the Note agreement. At any time prior to April 15, 2007, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date; provided that at least 60% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued remains outstanding after the redemption. Prestige Brands International, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Notes which grants those purchasers exchange and registration rights with respect to the Notes. Under the registration rights agreement, Prestige Brands International, LLC agreed to file a registration statement 90 days after the issue date of the Notes enabling the holders to exchange the Notes for publicly registered exchange notes with substantially identical terms. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Prestige Brands International, LLC, which has no independent assets or operations, and the Company's other wholly owned subsidiaries (except the issuer, which is a wholly owned finance subsidiary of the Company). Each of these guarantees is joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of any of the guarantors to obtain funds from their subsidiaries.

        The Senior Credit Facility and Senior Subordinated Notes include various restrictive covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends.

F-35



        In order to finance the Medtech and Spic and Span Acquisitions, repay certain existing indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses, the Company entered into the financing agreements set forth in the following paragraphs.

        On February 6, 2004, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the "Medtech Senior Credit Facility"), consisting of a $20 million non-amortizing senior secured revolving credit facility ("Medtech Revolving Credit Facility") and a $100.0 million senior secured term loan facility ("Medtech Term Loan Facility"). On February 6, 2004, the Company also issued $42.9 million of 12.0% subordinated notes ("Medtech Subordinated Notes").

        The Medtech Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Medtech Term Loan Facility bears interest at the Company's option of either prime (4.0% at March 31, 2004) or LIBOR (1.125% at March 31, 2004) plus a variable margin and matures on February 5, 2009. At March 31, 2004, the applicable interest rate on the Medtech Term Loan Facility was 4.625%. Principal and interest payments on the facility are due quarterly. The outstanding borrowings on the facility were repaid on April 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Bonita Bay Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Medtech Revolving Credit Facility was available until February 6, 2009, with the available borrowing amount based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories. At March 31, 2004, the Company was eligible to borrow $19,302 on the facility, of which there was $10,548 outstanding. The facility bore interest at the Company's option of either prime plus a variable margin or LIBOR plus a variable margin. The variable margin ranged from 3.0% to 3.5%. At March 31, 2004, the applicable interest rate on the facility was 6.0%. The Company is also required to pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility. At March 31, 2004, the applicable rate was 0.50%. The outstanding borrowings on the facility were repaid on April 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Bonita Bay Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Medtech Subordinated Notes ("Notes") matured on February 6, 2014 and bore interest at 12% payable quarterly, beginning on May 20, 2004. The total principal amount was due on February 6, 2014. In conjunction with the Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,250 Class B Preferred Units and 2,619,386 Common Units. The warrants were exercised immediately upon issuance. The relative fair value of these warrants was recorded as a discount on debt of $4,871 and was being amortized over the life of the related debt. The outstanding Notes were repaid on April 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Bonita Bay Acquisition financing discussed above. In conjunction with the repayment of the Notes, the unamortized discount of $4,795 was written-off and recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt.

        The Medtech Senior Credit Facility and Subordinated Notes include various restrictive covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2004.

F-36



        On March 1, 2001, the Predecessor Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank to provide $55,000 in debt ("Term Commitments A and B") and a $10,000 revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line", or together with Term Commitments A and B, the "Senior Debt"). Simultaneously, the Predecessor Company issued $21,500 of subordinated notes payable (the "Senior Subordinated Notes").

        The Senior Debt was collateralized by substantially all the Predecessor Company's assets. Term Commitments A and B bore interest at the Predecessor Company's option of either prime (4.25% at March 31, 2003) plus a variable margin or LIBOR (1.38% at March 31, 2003) plus a variable margin and were scheduled to mature on March 1, 2006 and March 1, 2008, respectively. At March 31, 2003, the applicable interest rates on Term Commitments A and B were 4.88% and 5.38%, respectively. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Revolving Line was available until March 1, 2006, with the available borrowing amount based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories. At March 31, 2003, the Predecessor Company was eligible to borrow $6,400 on the Revolving Line, of which there was $1,500 outstanding. The Revolving Line bore interest at the Predecessor Company's option of either prime plus a variable margin or LIBOR plus a variable margin. The variable margin ranged from 1.75% to 3.5% based on the level of outstanding debt. The Predecessor Company was also required to pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Line. At March 31, 2003, the applicable rate was 0.50%. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Senior Subordinated Notes were scheduled to mature on August 31, 2008, and originally bore interest at 15%. On September 11, 2002, the note agreement was amended to require interest at 17%. In accordance with the terms of the notes, the Predecessor Company has made quarterly interest payments at 15% and has accrued the remaining 2% interest, increasing the principal balance of the notes by $627 and $251 as of February 5, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The Predecessor Company accounted for this modification as an extinguishment and reissuance of debt in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments." Accordingly, the Predecessor Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $685 for the year ended March 31, 2003. In conjunction with the purchase of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Predecessor Company issued 1,048,798 warrants to purchase Class A-1 Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expire on March 1, 2013. The Predecessor Company initially recorded a discount of $442 on the Senior Subordinated Notes. The unamortized discount was expensed during the year ended March 31, 2003. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Senior Debt and Senior Subordinated Notes included various restrictive covenants that required the Predecessor Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Predecessor Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2003.

F-37



        The Predecessor Company was subject to an excess cash calculation in connection with the Senior Debt. In the event the Predecessor Company had excess cash as defined in the credit agreement, the Predecessor Company was required to remit a payment to the lender within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year. The excess cash payment was applied pro rata to the last payments due on Term Commitments A and B. The calculation indicated that an excess cash payment of $1,211 was required for the year ended March 31, 2003; accordingly, the required excess cash payment has been included in the current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2003.

        In connection with the acquisition of the Denorex assets (Note 2), on February 7, 2002, the Predecessor Company issued $21,000 of notes payable to American Home Products Corporation. The notes were payable in three equal installments of $7,000 on December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The amounts payable were non-interest bearing, which required the Predecessor Company to determine the fair value of the notes at the date of the transaction by discounting future payments using an imputed interest rate of 9%. The resulting difference between the future payments and their present value was recorded as a discount and amortized as interest expense using the interest method over the term of the note.

        On January 29, 2003, the terms of the note were modified, requiring the Predecessor Company to pay $623 on March 31, 2003, $616 on June 30, 2003, $607 on September 30, 2003, $12,598 on December 31, 2003 and $7,000 on December 31, 2004. As a result of the modification, in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments," the Predecessor Company calculated a new effective interest rate of 8.7% based on the carrying amount of the original notes and the revised cash flows. The remaining discount was being amortized as interest expense using the interest method over the remaining term of the note.

13.   Members' and Shareholder's Equity

        The Company has four classes of units: Senior Preferred Units, Class A Preferred Units, Class B Preferred Units and Common Units. A "unit" is an equity interest of a unitholder in the profits, losses and distributions of the Company. The Company's Unitholders have the following rights and privileges:

        The holders of the Common Units are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the Unitholders for a vote with each Common Unit entitled to one vote. The holders of Senior Preferred Units, Class A Preferred Units and Class B Preferred Units are not entitled to vote.

F-41


        The Board of Managers, at its discretion, may make distributions in the following order and priority:

        First, the Unitholders holding Senior Preferred Units have the right to receive distributions sufficient to generate an 8% (if certain sales targets are met) per year rate of return (compounded annually) on their capital contributions. These Unitholders also have a preference to receive distributions of their initial capital contributions prior to distributions to the Class A Preferred, Class B Preferred or Common Unitholders. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Senior Preferred Unitholders was $22,628 at March 31, 2004.

        Second, the Unitholders holding Class A Preferred Units have the right to receive distributions sufficient to generate an 8% per year rate of return (compounded quarterly) on their capital contributions. These Unitholders also have a preference to receive distributions of their initial capital contributions prior to distributions to the Class B Preferred or Common Unitholders. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Class A Preferred Unitholders was $0 at March 31, 2004.

        Third, the Unitholders holding Class B Preferred Units have the right to receive distributions sufficient to generate an 8% per year rate of return (compounded quarterly) on their capital contributions. These Unitholders also have a preference to receive distributions of their initial capital contributions prior to distributions to the Common Unitholders. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Class B Preferred Unitholders was $107,919 at March 31, 2004.

        Fourth, the Unitholders holding Common Units have the right to receive all remaining distributions.

        Notwithstanding these distribution preferences, the Board of Managers, at its discretion, may approve distributions up to $16,867 to the Unitholders of Class A Preferred Units, Class B Preferred Units and Common Units (in order of priority) before distributions to the Senior Preferred Unitholders. In addition, the Company may make quarterly distributions to any unitholders (regardless of priority) sufficient to enable the unitholders to pay income tax liabilities related to their allocation of the Company's taxable income.

        Profits and losses of the Company are allocated to the Unitholders for each fiscal year based on the respective amount that each Unitholder would receive if the assets of the Company were liquidated at book value and distributed to the Unitholders in accordance with the provisions of the limited liability company agreement.

        The holders of the Medtech Class L Common Stock and the Medtech Class A-1 Common Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to shareholders for a vote. Each share of Medtech Class A-1 Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share.

The holders of Medtech Class L Common Stock were entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions declared by the Board of Directors until the liquidation preference had been satisfied, prior to any dividends or distributions to shareholders of the Medtech Class A-1 or Medtech Class A-2 Common Stock.

        Subsequently, the remaining distributions would be divided among the shareholders of the Medtech Class L Common Stock, the Medtech Class A-1 Common Stock, and the Medtech Class A-2 Common Stock pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that for distribution purposes each share of Medtech Class L Common Stock shall be deemed to have been

        Each share of Medtech Class L Common Stock converts into the number of shares of Medtech Class A-1 Common Stock determined by dividing the remaining unpaid liquidation and distribution preference per share by the sale price (or public offering price) per Medtech Class A-1 Common Share. Each share of Medtech Class A-2 Common Stock converts to one share of Medtech Class A-1 Common Stock.

        Each share of Denorex Class L Common Stock is convertible into Denorex Class A Common Stock by a vote of the Board of Directors upon a sale of the Common Stock.

15.   Related Party Transactions

        The Predecessor Company entered into agreements with its majority shareholder to provide advisory and management services. For the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Predecessor Company incurred $1,293, $1,600 and $1,150, respectively, for these services.

During the year ended March 31, 2002, the Company increased its reserve for sales returns as a purchase accounting adjustment related to the Acquisition of Medtech Products, Inc. and The Cutex Company on March 1, 2001.

(2)
As a result of the business combination of Medtech and Denorex, the Company determined that it would probably be able to utilize the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance had previously been established. Accordingly, the Company did not record a valuation allowance in purchase accounting.

(3)
As a result of the acquisition of Spic and Span, the Company recorded reserves for sales returns and allowances for doubtful accounts an inventory obsolescense in purchase accounting.

THE SPIC AND SPAN COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share data)

1.     Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The Spic and Span Company (the "Company") was incorporated on November 30, 2000, and began operations on January 24, 2001. The Company is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of leading household cleaning brands sold primarily through supermarkets and mass merchandise outlets in the United States.

        On March 5, 2004 the Company was acquired (Note 18) by Prestige Household Brands, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Brands International, LLC (the "Acquiring Company").

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Substantially all of the Company's cash is held by two banks, located in Wyoming and California, respectively. 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.

        The Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To minimize credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and reserves are maintained; however collateral is not required

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory.

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Machinery   7 years
Computer equipment   3 years
Furniture and fixtures   5 years

F-56


        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 statement of operations.

        Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 or the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 142 applies to all goodwill and identified intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Under this standard, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Accordingly, the Company ceased amortization of its goodwill January 1, 2002. The Company evaluated the remaining $1,433 of unamortized goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002 and 2003, and determined that no impairment charge should be recorded.

        The following table reflects what the Company's net income (loss) would have been for the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001, exclusive of amortization expense related to goodwill:

 
  Period from inception
(January 24, 2001)
through
December 31, 2001

Net income   $ 1,778
Add back: goodwill amortization     45
   
Adjusted net income (loss)   $ 1,823
   

        Other long-term assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis as follows:

Trademarks   30 years
Artwork cylinders   2 years
Deferred financing costs   1–3 years

        Other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds fair value. No impairment losses were recorded

F-57



during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 or the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

        Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer returns, discounts and allowances at the time of sale.

        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 slotting fees. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.

        The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's common stock and the exercise price of the option. Through December 31, 2003, no stock options have been granted.

        The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 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.

        Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001, have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, shareholders' equity or net income (loss).

        During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that a liability

F-58


be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosure about guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity's product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In December 2003, the FASB revised FIN 46. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for the Company for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after December 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to December 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

2.     Liquidity

        The Company incurred net losses of $(577) and $(1,471) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and as discussed in Note 8 has significant debt payments due in 2004. As discussed in Note 1, the Company was acquired on March 5, 2004. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Acquiring Company paid off the Company's long term debt (Note 8). As a result of the acquisition, there will be a significant reduction in interest and general administrative expenses. As a result, the Company expects to generate positive cash flow from operations during 2004 and future years. The Company will have no required principal payments on the debt related to the acquisition until 2009.

3.     Acquisition

        On January 24, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets from The Procter and Gamble Company (the "Acquisition"). Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired the assets in exchange for $20,000 in cash, $15,000 of notes payable and 7,647 shares of Class A common stock valued at $7. Direct acquisition costs were $1,024. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $36,031.

        On July 1, 2002, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank to obtain a $4,000 revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line"). The Revolving Line expired on December 31, 2003. The Company paid $175 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving line during the year ended December 31, 2002.

        In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), on January 24, 2001, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with The Procter and Gamble Company to provide $15,000 in debt, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9%. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all the Company's assets. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to make voluntary prepayments of the note, which originally matured on January 24, 2004.

F-62


        On December 17, 2003, the terms of the Credit Agreement were modified, to require principal payments of $650 on January 31, 2004, $1,500 on June 15, 2004, $1,500 on January 31, 2005, $1,500 on June 15, 2005, $1,500 on January 31, 2006, and $2,981 on June 15, 2006. However, if the Company pays $7,631 of the principal balance and all accrued interest prior to June 30, 2004, the Credit Agreement provides that no additional payments will be required. The Company accounted for this modification of the Credit Agreement as an extinguishment and re-issuance of debt in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments." Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt $23 which is included in other expense on the statement of operations. The Company also recorded $68 of deferred financing costs incurred as a result of the modification.

        Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictive covenants. As of December 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

        In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 6,647 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to The Procter and Gamble Company. The warrant was originally exercisable over a three-year period ending February 15, 2004. In connection with the modification of the Credit Agreement, the warrant became fully vested on December 17, 2003. The warrant expires on June 15, 2010.

        In connection with the modification of the Credit Agreement, the Company issued The Procter and Gamble Company a warrant to purchase 1,500 shares of Class L Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. If the scheduled payments under the Credit Agreement are not made, the warrant becomes exercisable on a pro-rata basis over the term of the Credit Agreement. No value was assigned to the warrant because the Company determined that the likelihood of the warrant becoming exercisable was remote.

9.     Subordinated Notes Payable to Shareholders

        In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), on January 24, 2001, the Company issued $10,000 of subordinated notes payable to certain of the Company's shareholders. These subordinated notes payable bore interest at a fixed rate of 8% and were originally due January 24, 2004. In accordance with the terms of the subordination agreement, no payments of principal or interest could be made on these notes until the borrowings under the Credit Agreement with The Procter and Gamble Company have been paid in full. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Company had accrued $1,548 and $748 of interest on these notes.

        On December 17, 2003, the Company issued 12,503 shares of Class L-1 Common Stock in exchange for the subordinated notes payable to shareholders of $10,000 and accrued interest of $2,502, along with 12,503 shares of Class A Common Stock.

        On January 24, 2001, the Company issued a $500 short-term note payable to the Company's principal shareholder to finance working capital. This note was repaid during the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

10.   Sale of Trademark

        Effective November 18, 2003 the Company sold the rights to its Italian trademark for $2,900. At the date of the Acquisition, there were no revenues being generated outside the United States and no value was assigned to any foreign trademarks. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on sale of trademark of $2,900.

        During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded $213 of royalties related to the use of the Italian trademark, which are included in other income in the statement of operations.

11.   Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company shares office space in New York with an affiliated company and has agreed to reimburse the affiliated company for a portion of the lease costs. The operating lease expires on September 30, 2005. The Company's minimum future payments under this lease are as follows:

Year ending December 31,

   
2004   $ 63
2005     47
   
    $ 110
   

        Rent expense totaled $64 and $72 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and $63 for the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

        On July 29, 2002, the Company entered into a 10 year manufacturing and supply agreement with an unrelated company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to purchase certain minimum quantities of product over the initial three years of the agreement or to pay liquidated damages of up to $360. The Company has recorded a liability of $308 at December 31, 2003 which represents its estimate of the probable liquidated damages. Such estimate is based on historical and expected purchases during the initial three years of the agreement.

        On June 24, 2002, the Company entered into a seven year manufacturing and supply agreement with an unrelated company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the manufacturer for certain equipment if the Company terminates the agreement due to a change in control of the Company prior to June 24, 2007. At December 31, 2003, the Company had a contingent liability of $274 related to this agreement.

        In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), the Company entered into a transitional services agreement and a transitional supply agreement with The Procter and Gamble Company. Under the terms of these agreements, The Procter and Gamble Company agreed to perform certain services for the Company, including manufacturing, distribution and administrative services in exchange for a variable fee based on product shipments. All costs related to these agreements have been included in cost of sales. These agreements expired on September 30, 2002.

13.   Shareholders' Equity

        On December 17, 2003, the Company's articles of incorporation were amended to create a new class of stock (Class L-1 Common Stock) and to affect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split. As a result, the Company has authorized 20,000 Class L-1 Common Shares, 23,000 Class L Common Shares and 275,000 Class A Common Shares (together the "Common Stock"). Prior to the reverse stock split, the Company had authorized 2,500,000 Class L Common Shares and 27,500,000 Class A Common Shares. All share data reflected in these financial statements is shown after giving retroactive effect to the 1-for-100 reverse stock split.

        The holders of the Class L-1, Class L and Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to shareholders for a vote. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each holder of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which each share of Class L-1 or Class L Common Stock is convertible at the time of such vote.

        The Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock has a liquidation and distribution preference of $1,000 per share plus amounts sufficient to generate an internal rate of return of 8% per year (aggregate Class L-1 liquidation value of $12,544 at December 31, 2003; aggregate Class L liquidation value of $13,882 at December 31, 2003). The holders of Class L-1 Common Stock are entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions declared by the Board of Directors until the liquidation preference has been satisfied, prior to any dividends or distributions to shareholders of the Class L or Class A Common Stock. The holders of Class L Common Stock are entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions declared by the Board of Directors until the liquidation preference has been satisfied, prior to any dividends or distributions to shareholders of the Class A Common Stock.

F-66


        Subsequently, the remaining distributions will be divided among the shareholders of the Class L-1, Class L and Class A Common Stock pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that for distribution purposes, each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is convertible at the time of such distribution.

        Each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is convertible to Class A Common Stock by a vote of the Board of Directors upon a sale of the Common Stock. In addition, the outstanding shares of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock automatically convert to Class A Common Stock immediately prior to an underwritten public offering.

        Each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock converts to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the remaining unpaid liquidation and distribution preference per share by the sale price (or public offering price) per Class A Common Share.

14.   Employee Stock Awards

        During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company sold its employees 20,760 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. These shares vest ratably over a 4-year period. The Company's estimated fair value of the stock on the grant date was $1.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company did not record compensation expense for these stock awards.

15.   Related Party Transactions

In addition, the Company reimbursed this shareholder for travel related expenses totaling $197 and $47 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $198 for the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

BONITA BAY HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2003

1.     Organization and Operations

        Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) market and manufacture branded over-the-counter consumer products. The Company's products are sold through mass merchandisers, independent and chain drug stores, drug wholesalers and food stores in the United States and in various markets throughout the world. The Company acquired all of the assets related to the Prell, Chloraseptic and Comet brands from The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") effective November 1, 1999, March 30, 2000 and October 2, 2001, respectively. Additionally, the Company acquired all of the assets related to the Clear eyes/Murine brands from Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") on December 30, 2002 (see Note 3). The results of operations of the acquired products have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income from the dates of acquisition.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon the shipment to the customer. The Company has recorded revenue generated under the Comet and the Clear eyes/Murine domestic transitional service agreements (see Note 3) on a gross basis in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, as the Company was the primary obligor under these agreements, bears the credit and economic risk and has discretion in the choice of supplier. In addition, sales of Chloraseptic to certain customers still serviced by P&G are recorded on a gross basis, as the Company is the primary obligor under these agreements, bears the credit and economic risk and has discretion in the choice of supplier.

        Revenue has been recorded on a net basis for international sales of Clear eyes/Murine under the marketing transition period and prior to the satisfaction of regulatory requirements (see Note 3) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, as the Company was not the primary obligor under this arrangement and did not bear any credit or economic risk in the sales transactions.

        It is the Company's policy across all classes of customers that all sales are final. As is common in the consumer products industry, products are returned by the customer due to a number of reasons.

F-75



Examples include products damaged in transit, discontinuance of a particular size or form of product, shipping error, etc. The Company maintains and evaluates an allowance for damages since all other types of returns are not significant. Actual returns are charged against the allowance upon the receipt of the product or deduction from remittance by the customer.

        The Company considers all short-term deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

        Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect on customer trade receivables. The Company establishes a general allowance of approximately 1% of gross trade receivables in conjunction with a specific allowance for receivables with known collection problems due to circumstances such as liquidity or bankruptcy. Collection problems are identified using an aging of receivables analysis based on invoice due dates. Items that are deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables.

        Inventories, comprised of finished goods, are priced at the lower of cost (purchased cost for finished goods purchased from outsourced manufacturers) or market. The Company's method for determining inventory cost approximates the first-in, first-out method. In addition, the Company recognizes shipping and handling expenses as a component of cost of sales.

        Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

        Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

        The cost of a Chloraseptic noncompete agreement was capitalized and amortized over its useful life, estimated at 3 years. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, trademarks were amortized over 20 years. All intangible assets subject to amortization have been fully amortized as of December 31, 2003.

F-76


        The provisions of SFAS No. 142, which were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002, required the Company to discontinue the amortization of the cost of intangible assets with indefinite lives and to perform certain fair value-based tests of the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company discontinued the amortization of the cost of these intangible assets. The discontinuation of this amortization favorably affected net income in fiscal 2002 by $6,687,155, net of income tax benefit. In addition, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are now tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company obtained independent appraisals to determine the fair value of the intangible assets at December 31, 2002 and compared their fair values with the carrying values, noting that no impairment had occurred.

        Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company evaluated whether events and circumstances had occurred that indicated the remaining useful life of intangible assets might warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicated that intangible assets should have been evaluated for possible impairment, the Company used an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets over the remaining lives of the assets in measuring whether long-lived assets were recoverable. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company performed annual impairment tests and determined no reevaluation was warranted using fair values as determined by product brand contribution margin.

        The changes in the carrying amount of the Clear eyes/Murine Brand's trademark are as follows for 2003 and 2002:

 
  2003
  2002
Balance as of January 1   $ 102,795,660   $
Additional Clear eyes/Murine Brands closing costs     295,367     102,795,660
Clear eyes/Murine international closings     (743,956 )  
   
 
Balance as of December 31   $ 102,347,071   $ 102,795,660
   
 

        While the full purchase price for the Clear eyes/Murine worldwide business was paid at the December 30, 2002 closing, transfer of the international assets could not occur until the appropriate infrastructure and regulatory filings were completed. Inventory purchased in connection with these international closings required adjustment to the original purchase price allocation based on the inventory net realizable value less costs of disposal and a reasonable profit thereon. Since there was no additional purchase price to allocate to the inventory, an allocation reducing trademarks resulted for the international closings occurring in 2003. The adjustment to the trademark was $743,956.

        The Company has incurred debt issuance costs in connection with its long-term debt. These costs are capitalized and amortized using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. The yearly amortization of debt issuance cost is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs was $2,039,300, $1,003,209 and $1,504,738 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $3,433,598 and $1,394,297 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

F-77


        Estimated future amortization expense for debt issuance costs is as follows:

Year ending December 31:

  Amount
2004   $ 2,072,097
2005     1,949,136
2006     1,665,258
2007     1,167,386
2008     1,019,479
Thereafter     11,234
   
    $ 7,884,590
   

        The cost of advertising is expensed in the fiscal year in which the related advertising takes place. Production and communication costs are expensed in the period in which the related advertising begins running. Advertising expense for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $11,216,236, $4,732,800 and $4,610,613, respectively.

        The assets and liabilities of the Company's international subsidiaries are translated at rates of exchange in effect on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates in effect for the year. The resulting translation adjustment was not material to the Company's consolidated balance sheets or income statements.

        At December 31, 2003, the company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 11. The Company accounts for this plan under the intrinsic value method, as defined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), to stock-based employee compensation for the year ended December 31:

 
  2003
  2002
  2001
 
Net income, as reported   $ 22,272,391   $ 16,569,753   $ 3,082,765  
Less total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects     (312,838 )   (351,779 )   (314,482 )
   
 
 
 
Pro forma net income   $ 21,959,553   $ 16,217,974   $ 2,768,283  
   
 
 
 

F-78


        SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), requires companies to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the 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 an international operation.

        The Company has designated its derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular 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 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 gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.

        The carrying values of the Company's cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value due to the variable rates associated with this financial instrument. For the interest rate swap and collar agreements, the carrying amount was determined using fair value estimates from third parties.

        Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment of accounts receivable is affected by conditions or occurrences within the retail industry. As a result, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial position but generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company's largest customer accounted for 25.2%, 19.4%, and 20.2% of sales in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. No other customer exceeded 10% of the Company's sales in the respective years. Short-term cash investments are placed with high credit-quality financial institutions or in low-risk, liquid instruments. No losses have been experienced on such investments.

        The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

F-79


        In July 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") finalized EITF Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products (EITF 00-25). Under the provisions of EITF 00-25, the Company is required to classify certain marketing and selling expenses as reductions of net sales. The results of operations and the financial position of the Company, therefore, are not affected. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 00-25 during the year ended December 31, 2001. EITF Issue Nos. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives (EITF 00-14) and EITF 00-25 have been codified in EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.

        On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for their employee stock-based awards using the fair value method. However, the disclosure provisions are required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they utilize the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in APB 25. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 during the year ended December 31, 2002.

        In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS No. 145). The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 on December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 145 requires the Company to include gains and losses on extinguishment of debt as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt. The Company is also required to reclassify any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt previously classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented. SFAS No. 145 also provides accounting standards for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions and various other technical corrections.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 149). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for derivative instruments embedded in certain contracts, entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS No. 150). The statement modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. The new statement requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in a company's statement of financial position. This statement is effective for the year-end period beginning after December 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position,

results of operations or cash flows other than classification of warrants in the accompanying balance sheet.

3.     Acquisition of Brands

        On December 30, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of the Clear eyes/Murine eye and ear-care product lines from Abbott for approximately $110,700,000, including acquisition costs of approximately $1,097,000. As a result, the accompanying consolidated statements of income includes the results of operations of the Clear eyes/Murine brands since the date of acquisition. This acquisition included the worldwide rights to manufacture, sell and market the Clear eyes/Murine products plus related intellectual property and certain manufacturing equipment. The purchase price of $110,700,000 was allocated $3,816,000 to inventory, $4,088,000 to property and equipment and $102,796,000 to the Clear eyes/Murine Brands trademark, which was assigned an indefinite life. This was a preliminary allocation which is adjusted as additional international country regulatory requirements are met (See Note 2) and international assets are transferred.

        Under a domestic transitional services agreement, Abbott continued to receive and process customer orders, ship products to customers, and collect and process accounts receivable through March 31, 2003. Revenue has been recorded on a gross basis under the domestic transitional services agreement for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Abbott continued to manufacture the product for the Company under a manufacturing agreement that extends through December 31, 2005.

        The Company will also continue to rely on Abbott to market, sell and distribute the Clear eyes/ Murine products in the remaining international countries until the Company satisfies various international regulatory requirements, new distributors are in place and any applicable marketing permits are transferred. During the marketing transition period, Abbott paid the Company a net royalty equal to 38% of international sales of Clear eyes/Murine products in these countries through December 31, 2003, with the net royalty to be reduced to 19% of international sales from January 1, 2004 through December 30, 2004. Revenue has been recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes/Murine brands during the marketing transition period for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Abbott will pay all costs and expenses related to the manufacture, marketing and sales of the Clear eyes/Murine products in these countries. As the regulatory requirements are met and the Company assumes responsibility for the sales and marketing effort in a country, the royalty arrangement with respect to such country will terminate and the Company will record these international sales directly on a gross basis, as well as the costs and expenses associated with these sales. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company satisfied regulatory requirements in seven additional countries.

        Effective October 2, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Comet brand from P&G for approximately $144,800,000, including acquisition costs of $2,800,000. This acquisition included the worldwide rights (except in certain Eastern European countries and Russia) to manufacture, sell and market Comet products plus related intellectual property. The entire purchase price was allocated to trademark, which was assigned an indefinite useful life. Under a transitional services agreement, P&G

continued to receive and process customer orders, ship products to customers, and collect and process accounts receivable through April 30, 2002. Revenue has been recorded on a gross basis under the transitional services agreement for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Since April 30, 2002, P&G has continued to manufacture Comet products under a standard contract manufacturing agreement.

8.     Derivative Financial Instruments

        Effective July 27, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank covering $16,500,000 of the balance under the Tranche A note payable. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 4.8% in exchange for variable rate payments based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreement expires on July 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the swap was ineffective and $330,402 was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying statement of income. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company redesignated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Therefore, the change in fair value of this hedge is no longer recorded through earnings but through other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders equity.

        Effective March 29, 2002, the Company entered into a zero-cost collar agreement with a bank covering $41,237,500 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreement requires the Company to pay a variable rate based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR with a floor of 2.83% and a cap of 6.00%. The interest rate collar agreement expires on July 31, 2004.

        Effective March 14, 2003, the Company entered into two zero-cost collar agreements with two different banks covering $44,230,000 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreements require the Company to pay a variable rate based on the US three month LIBOR with a floor of 1.33% on $17,692,000 and 1.35% on $26,538,000 and a cap of 6.00%. The interest rate collar agreements expire on March 31, 2006.

        The fair value of all these hedges is $590,654 and $1,238,360 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Because the hedges qualify as effective for financial reporting purposes, the change in fair value of the hedges of $393,472 and $547,085, net of income taxes of $254,224, and $360,873 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, is recorded as a reduction of other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

9.     Warrants

        In connection with the issuance of the senior subordinated notes payable on December 30, 2002, the Company issued warrants to the holders of the subordinated notes for 1,489,999 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 and expire on December 30, 2012. On December 30, 2002, the amount allocated to the warrants of $2,684,569 was recorded as a discount to the senior subordinated notes payable and a credit to common stock warrants. On February 25, 2003, in connection with a partial repayment of the senior subordinated notes, the number of warrants was reduced to 1,307,261, resulting in the value of the warrants being reduced to $2,355,330. These warrants contain certain "put" rights that allow the holder to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the warrants or shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants at a price equal to the higher of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense per share or the fair market value per share of common stock on such date less the cost to exercise the warrants. The "put" repurchase period commences June 30, 2009 and terminates on December 30, 2012. The "put" repurchase period may be accelerated upon the occurrence, not prior to December 30, 2003, of giving notice by the Company of an optional prepayment of the senior subordinated notes payable. In accordance with the debt agreement, all prepayments must be done on a pro-rata basis to all note holders. The Company has certain "call" rights during the period from December 30, 2009 to December 30, 2012 to repurchase all of the warrants or shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants from the holders of such warrants for the repurchase price defined above. The Company accretes the value of the warrants up to the highest "put" repurchase price through June 30, 2009.

        In connection with the issuance of bridge loans on October 2, 2001, the Company issued warrants to the loanholders for 900,000 shares of the Company's Class A or Class B common stock. The warrants were assigned a value of $1,662,000 as of the date of issuance, which was recorded as an increase in common stock in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. The Bridge Loan contained provisions to issue additional warrants if certain repayment dates were not met. Under these provisions, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 328,000 shares of Class A or Class B common stock. The warrants were assigned a value of $418,000 as of the date of issuance, which was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2001. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.01 and were to expire on October 2, 2008. The total value assigned to the warrants was $2,080,000, of which $1,662,000 was charged to debt discount and $418,000 was charged to interest expense. The Bridge Loan was repaid on December 17, 2001, and accordingly, the difference between the net carrying amount of the debt (including the unamortized debt discount), and the cost of extinguishment was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,604,300 in the accompanying consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2001. The warrants remain outstanding after extinguishment of the debt.

10.   Stockholders' Equity

        During November and December 2001, the Company repurchased 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock from a stockholder that were issued in connection with the Comet acquisition. These shares were repurchased at the original issuance price of $1.40 per share for a total purchase price of $14,000,000. The Company subsequently resold 8,937,500 of shares to new stockholders for total proceeds of $14,000,000.

12.   Stock Option Plan

        Effective December 3, 1999, the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), under which 5 million shares of Class A common stock are authorized and reserved for use in the Plan. The Plan allows the issuance of nonqualified or incentive stock options at an exercise price determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Options covering one-half of the authorized number of shares are subject to Pool A Agreements, and options covering the remaining half are subject to Pool B Agreements. Options granted under Pool A Agreements become exercisable over three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under Pool B Agreements become exercisable on the eighth anniversary of the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Accelerated vesting may occur under Pool B Agreements due to a change in control and based on attainment of certain return on investment levels during the year in which the change of control takes place.

        The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan under APB 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No.123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, which allows companies to continue following the accounting guidance of APB 25, but requires disclosure of net income and earnings per share for the effects on compensation expense had the accounting guidance of SFAS No. 123 been adopted.

        The Company has elected SFAS No. 123 for disclosure purposes. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option granted has been estimated as of the grant date using the Minimum Value method, with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants during the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001: weighted average risk-free interest rates of 2.01%, 4.80%, and 5.24%; expected life of eight years; and no expected dividends.

        Effective April 1, 2003, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP Plan") providing for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

rights and repurchase rights. Approximately 166,000 shares were purchased in 2003 under the ESPP Plan.

14.   Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, the eventual resolution of these claims and actions outstanding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or operating results.

        The Company leases real estate under operating leases. Certain real estate leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and certain other expenses in addition to the stated rentals. Future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 2003, are as follows:

Year ending December 31:

  Amount
2004   $ 259,624
2005     219,850
2006     150,245
2007     37,561
   
    $ 667,280
   

        The base rent of the Company's office facility in Bonita Springs, Florida, will be increased by the consumer price index each year during its seven-year lease term expiring March 31, 2007.

        Total rent expense under all operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $296,108, $167,316 and $167,632 respectively.

        On December 22, 2002, the Company entered into a purchase option agreement with an investor of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company had the option to repurchase 6,437,500 shares of Class A common stock of the Company owned by that investor. The purchase price as defined in the agreement was based on a 20% internal rate of return on the investor's original purchase of the shares for $10,500,000. In consideration of the purchase option agreement, the Company paid the investor a deposit of $1,750,000 on December 23, 2002. This amount was classified within prepaid expenses on the December 31, 2002 accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On February 13, 2003, the Company repurchased these shares at a total purchase price of $13,270,000.

F-89


15.   Retirement Plan

        The Company has a retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Retirement Plan"). The Retirement Plan allows all full-time employees to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the Retirement Plan. The Company matches these contributions up to 5% of the employee's compensation. The Company's matching contribution for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $119,465, $105,281 and $29,528, respectively.

16.   Related-Party Transactions

        As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a receivable of $1,000,000 plus accrued interest of $186,333 due from a certain stockholder related to the stockholder's purchase of the Company's Class A common stock. Approximately $230,000 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.08% and is payable in full on November 1, 2004, or upon the termination of employment with the Company. The remaining $770,000 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.45% and is due and payable on March 30, 2004, or upon termination of employment with the Company. The amount was treated as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

        As part of the Company's Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement, certain investors are entitled to an annual management fee for advisory services rendered. Management fees totaled $640,000, $475,000, and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002 management fees payable of $0 and $100,000, respectively, are included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

17.   Subsequent Events

        On January 1, 2004, the Company entered into Employment and Non-Competition Agreements with the President and CFO for a period of one year. The agreements provide for certain compensation and benefits as well as severance payments in the event of termination.

        The company entered into an Agreement of Merger dated February 10, 2004 pursuant to which the holders of capital stock of the Company (including option and warrant holders) will receive cash consideration in an amount equal to $555 million (as adjusted based on the working capital of the Company at the closing of the merger), less all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness at the closing and all transaction expenses (including investment banking, legal and accounting fees) incurred in connection with the merger, plus excess cash and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. As a result of the transaction, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Acquisition Holdings, LLC. The closing of the merger is expected to occur in late March or early April of 2004.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(In Thousands)

1.     Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

        The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, which are included in the registration statement. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

        Certain amounts for 2003 have been reclassified to be consistent with the 2004 presentation.

        Based upon the Company's review of new accounting standards released during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company did not identify any standard requiring adoption that would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements for the periods reported.

        At March 31, 2004, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for this plan under the intrinsic value method, as defined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), to stock-based employee compensation for the three months ended March 31:

2.     Revolving Line of Credit

        The Company had a $15,000 revolving line of credit with a bank collateralized by virtually all of the assets of the Company. On December 30, 2002, the line of credit was amended and restated to extend the maturity date to December 30, 2007. Advances under the line of credit bore interest payable monthly at LIBOR plus an applicable rate. As of March 31, 2004, there were no outstanding balances under the line of credit. The revolving line of credit was terminated on April 6, 2004, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company (Note 8).

F-96

    172,890  
Less current portion   (25,260 )
   
 
    147,630  
   
 

        The outstanding borrowings under Tranche A, Tranche B and the senior subordinated notes payable were repaid on April 6, 2004 in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company (Note 8).

4.     Derivative Financial Instruments

        Effective July 27, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank covering $16,500 of the balance under Tranche A note payable. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 4.8% in exchange for variable rate payments based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreement expires on July 31, 2004.

        Effective March 29, 2002, the Company entered into a zero-cost collar agreement with a bank covering $41,240 of the combined balance under Tranche A and B notes payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreement required the Company to pay a variable rate based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR with a floor of 2.83% and a cap of 6.00%. The liability for the interest rate collar agreement was paid in March 2004.

        Effective March 14, 2003, the Company entered into two zero-cost collar agreement with two different banks covering $44,230 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates.

F-97

        The fair value of the open hedges was $133 at March 31, 2004 and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet. Because the hedges qualify as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the hedges is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In connection with the acquisition of the Company on April 6, 2004 (Note 8), the liability for the remaining derivative instrument was paid.

5.     Related-Party Transactions

        As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a receivable of $1,000 plus accrued interest of $202 due from a certain stockholder related to the stockholder's purchase of the Company's Class A common stock. Approximately $230 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.08% and is payable in full on November 1, 2004, or upon the termination of employment with the Company. The remaining $770 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.45% and is due and payable on March 30, 2004, or upon termination of employment with the Company. The amount was treated as a reduction of stockholders' equity. On April 6, 2004, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company, the receivable balance was paid in full.

        As part of the Company's Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement, certain investors are entitled to an annual management fee for advisor services rendered. Management fees totaled $173 and $160 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of March 31, 2004 and 2003 management fees payable of $173 and $53, respectively, are included in accrued expenses on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

6.     Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, the eventual resolution of these claims and actions outstanding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or operating results.

To the Shareholders
Vetco, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vetco, Inc.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vetco, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

VETCO, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2003 and 2002

(Information Pertaining to the Three- and Nine-Month Periods Ended

September 30, 2004 and 2003 are Unaudited)

Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        Vetco, Inc. (the "Company") develops, markets and sells over-the-counter nonprescription consumer health care products, primarily for children. The Company markets its products in the United States through distributors, retail drug and mass-merchandise chains. The Company uses third-party contractors for the manufacture and assembly of the products.

        Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

        Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near-term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value, with the change in fair value during the period included in the statements of operations. Marketable debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with the change in fair value during the period excluded from the statements of operations unless it is occasioned by an other-than-temporary decline in value and recorded net of income taxes as other comprehensive income, as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

        As of September 30, 2003, December 31, 2003 and 2002, all of the Company's marketable securities have been deemed available-for-sale securities and consisted principally of equity securities.

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market.

        Office equipment, furniture and fixtures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of five years.

        The Company has elected to be an S corporation for federal and state income tax purposes, which means that the Company's shareholders are required to include the Company's income in their individual income tax returns. Consequently, the Company has no current federal and state income tax

F-106


liability. At December 31, 2003, the shareholder can withdraw approximately $9,034,000 from the Company without any further tax consequence provided that the shareholder has sufficient tax basis. Through September 30, 2004, substantially all of this amount has been withdrawn.

        Sales are recognized when the related products are shipped, title has passed, collections are reasonably assured and the Company has no further obligation. An allowance for discounts and returns is taken as a reduction of sales within the same period the revenue is recognized. Such allowances are based on historical experience. The Company has not experienced significant fluctuations between estimated allowances and actual activity.

        Included in cost of sales are shipping and handling costs of $131,000, $434,000, $182,000, $420,000, $525,000 and $304,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        Advertising costs are expensed when the advertisement is first shown. Advertising expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 amounted to $120,000, $757,000, $295,000, $864,000, $1,321,000 and $831,000, respectively, including co-operative advertising of $118,000, $594,000, $194,000, $611,000, $955,000 and $526,000, respectively. In accordance with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (the "EITF") Issue No. 01-9 issued in 2001, slotting allowances payable (cash portion) of $142,000, $206,000, $183,000, $393,000, $451,000 and $269,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are recorded as a reduction of sales. In addition, included in cost of goods sold are slotting allowances in the form of product at a cost of $0, $0, $0, $0, $0 and $27,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        In accordance with accounting standards to account for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. No such losses have been recorded during 2004, 2003 and 2002.

        Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash in accounts with various financial institutions in amounts, which, at times, may be in excess of the FDIC insurance

F-107


limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents.

        The Company sells its products and services to distributors and end users nationwide. The Company regularly assesses the realizability of accounts receivable and takes into consideration the value of past due accounts receivable and the collectibility of such receivables based on creditworthiness. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables.

        The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. At September 30, 2004 and 2003, December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair value of these instruments approximated their carrying value.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        The accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited, but in the opinion of the Company's management reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

Note D—Common Stock

The court determined the fair market value as approximately $1,036,000 plus interest at 9% per annum, effective from April 26, 1996. In March 2002, final payment was made.
