Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Alltrista Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alltrista Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2001. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of Alltrista Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2001
and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
