Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Jarden Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jarden Corporation and
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated
statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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 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 Jarden Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Jarden Corporation’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our
report dated March 1, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
