LIFETIME ENTERS INTO LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH FDL - GRANTED NEW FOLDING TABLE PATENT

January 5, 2005

CLEARFIELD, UTAH -- Lifetime Products, Inc., a worldwide leader in the folding table market and an award-winning innovator with a strong commitment to intellectual property rights, today announced two further achievements in its ongoing and parallel efforts to protect its valuable intellectual property while increasing the quality and quantity of choices available to consumers.

First, United States Patent No. 6,832,563 issued to Lifetime on December 21, 2004. This patent is the latest in the family of patents protecting Lifetime’s intellectual property in its innovative light-weight folding utility table products.

Second, FDL, Inc., an international manufacturer of furniture and seating products, has become the latest to recognize the value and importance of Lifetime’s intellectual property by obtaining a license to utilize patented Lifetime technology in its products. Lifetime and FDL have entered into agreements cross-licensing certain patent rights relating to both tables and chairs. Lifetime believes that consumers will benefit from the agreements through an even broader range of quality products incorporating state-of-the-art features and design.
