<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;19, 2013, Kid Brands, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) issued a press release (the &#147;Release&#148;) announcing, among other things,
financial results for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the Release, certain financial measures for each of the three months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2013 (&#147;Q3 2013&#148;), the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2013 (the &#147;2013 YTD Period&#148;), the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2012 (&#147;Q3 2012&#148;), and the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2012
(the &#147;2012 YTD Period&#148;) are presented both in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;) and also on a non-GAAP basis. In particular, &#147;Adjusted net (loss)/income&#148; and &#147;Adjusted
net (loss)/income per diluted share&#148; for each of the foregoing periods are non-GAAP financial measures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted net (loss)/income is defined as
reported net (loss)/income, plus/minus certain items (including reversal of the relevant income tax provision or benefit), and the application of an assumed tax rate of 39% on the resulting adjusted pre-tax (loss)/income. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The specific adjustments to reported net loss to derive non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/income and non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/income per diluted share for each
of Q3 2013, the 2013 YTD Period, Q3 2012 and the 2012 YTD Period are detailed in the reconciliation table at the end of the Release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, as described in such reconciliation table, adjusted net
income per diluted share for Q3 2012 and the 2012 YTD Period includes an adjustment to reflect the weighted-average dilutive effect of certain shares underlying in-the-money stock options and stock appreciation rights (such shares were excluded from
the weighted-average diluted share calculation used to determine net loss per diluted share, as reported for such period, because the Company was in a net loss position for such period, and the inclusion of such shares would have been
anti-dilutive). In the computation of adjusted net income per diluted share for Q3 2012 and the 2012 YTD Period, however, such shares were included. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations
in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in the Release are useful to investors, as they enable
the Company and its investors to evaluate and compare the Company&#146;s results from operations and cash resources generated from the Company&#146;s business in a more meaningful and consistent manner (by excluding specific items which are deemed
not to be reflective of ongoing operating results) and provide an analysis of operating results using the same measures used by the Company&#146;s chief operating decision makers to measure performance. These non-GAAP financial measures result
largely from management&#146;s determination that the facts and circumstances surrounding the excluded charges are not indicative of the ordinary course of the ongoing operation of the Company&#146;s business. Consistent with this approach (and as
described in the reconciliation table at the end of the Release), for the 2013 YTD Period, as one of the adjustments to reported net loss to determine non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP adjusted net loss per diluted share, management has
excluded the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense pertaining to an inducement award of 200,000 stock options granted to our President and Chief Executive Officer in connection with his appointment, which unlike typical inducement and
other equity awards made by the Company, vested in full upon grant. Management believes that excluding the impact of the expense pertaining to this particular grant will help it (and its investors) to compare current period operating expenses
against the operating expenses for prior periods. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in the Release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and are included only as supplementary measures
of financial performance. This data is furnished to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the reconciliation table attached to the Release. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The information in this report (including Exhibit&nbsp;99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item&nbsp;2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be
&#147;filed&#148; for purposes of Section&nbsp;18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in

Section 2 — Financial Information
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 19, 2013, Kid Brands, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release (the "Release") announcing, among other things,
financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
In the Release, certain financial measures for each of the three months ended
September 30, 2013 ("Q3 2013"), the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (the "2013 YTD Period"), the three months ended September 30, 2012 ("Q3 2012"), and the nine months ended September 30, 2012
(the "2012 YTD Period") are presented both in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and also on a non-GAAP basis. In particular, "Adjusted net (loss)/income" and "Adjusted
net (loss)/income per diluted share" for each of the foregoing periods are non-GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted net (loss)/income is defined as
reported net (loss)/income, plus/minus certain items (including reversal of the relevant income tax provision or benefit), and the application of an assumed tax rate of 39% on the resulting adjusted pre-tax (loss)/income.
The specific adjustments to reported net loss to derive non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/income and non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/income per diluted share for each
of Q3 2013, the 2013 YTD Period, Q3 2012 and the 2012 YTD Period are detailed in the reconciliation table at the end of the Release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, as described in such reconciliation table, adjusted net
income per diluted share for Q3 2012 and the 2012 YTD Period includes an adjustment to reflect the weighted-average dilutive effect of certain shares underlying in-the-money stock options and stock appreciation rights (such shares were excluded from
the weighted-average diluted share calculation used to determine net loss per diluted share, as reported for such period, because the Company was in a net loss position for such period, and the inclusion of such shares would have been
anti-dilutive). In the computation of adjusted net income per diluted share for Q3 2012 and the 2012 YTD Period, however, such shares were included.
These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations
in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in the Release are useful to investors, as they enable
the Company and its investors to evaluate and compare the Company's results from operations and cash resources generated from the Company's business in a more meaningful and consistent manner (by excluding specific items which are deemed
not to be reflective of ongoing operating results) and provide an analysis of operating results using the same measures used by the Company's chief operating decision makers to measure performance. These non-GAAP financial measures result
largely from management's determination that the facts and circumstances surrounding the excluded charges are not indicative of the ordinary course of the ongoing operation of the Company's business. Consistent with this approach (and as
described in the reconciliation table at the end of the Release), for the 2013 YTD Period, as one of the adjustments to reported net loss to determine non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP adjusted net loss per diluted share, management has
excluded the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense pertaining to an inducement award of 200,000 stock options granted to our President and Chief Executive Officer in connection with his appointment, which unlike typical inducement and
other equity awards made by the Company, vested in full upon grant. Management believes that excluding the impact of the expense pertaining to this particular grant will help it (and its investors) to compare current period operating expenses
against the operating expenses for prior periods. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in the Release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and are included only as supplementary measures
of financial performance. This data is furnished to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the reconciliation table attached to the Release.
