     On June 3, 2004, the Registrant filed a current report on Form 8-K announcing that, indirectly through certain of its subsidiaries, it had completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of OXO International from World Kitchen (GHC), LLC, WKI Holding Company, Inc. and World Kitchen, Inc. (collectively, “WKI”) for approximately $273.2 million plus the assumption of certain liabilities. This Amendment on Form 8-K/A is being filed to revise Item 7 in the Registrant’s Form 8-K originally filed on June 3, 2004 to include the historical and pro forma financial information required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 7 which were omitted from the report as initially filed in accordance with paragraph (a) (4) of Item 7 in the general instructions to Form 8-K. Because OXO International was not a separate legal entity, nor operated as a separate business of WKI, the information provided below in item 7(a) is a presentation of audited statements of net assets acquired and of revenues and direct expenses, instead of full financial statements as required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. The Company requested that the Securities and Exchange Commission confirm the proposed information and presentation would satisfy the requirements of Item 7(a) of Form 8-K. The Securities and Exchange Commission stated that they would not object to such presentation.
