Explanation of Responses:

1. This Form 4 is not being filed for any given transaction, see footnote 3.

2. These transactions were the result of the conversion of hedge funds to registered investment companies. See footnote 3.

3. On June 3, 2013 the hedge funds managed by North Star Investment Management Corporation ("NSIMC") that held Acme United Corp. common stock were converted into registered investment companies. Also NSIMC was and continues to be registered as an investment adviser and is not deemed to have beneficially owned the Acme United Corp. shares for Section 16 reporting purposes. Accordingly NSIMC was not subject to Section 16 reporting obligations with respect to Acme United Corp. at least from June 3, 2013. This amendment effectively withdraws all Form 4s filed by NSIMC on or after June 3, 2013 with respect to Acme United Corp.
