                     DEL LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)



  1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Del
         Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") have been prepared
         in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
         United States of America for interim financial information and with the
         instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
         information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
         accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
         statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results
         for a full year.

         On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for
         Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146
         requires that a liability be recognized for costs associated with an
         exit or disposal activity only when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
         146 also establishes fair value as the objective for initial
         measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. In
         accordance with the adoption of SFAS No. 146, other relocation costs
         and additional severance benefits as a result of the plant closure
         described in note 7, will be recognized when such benefits are
         incurred. It is estimated that a total charge of approximately $350
         will be incurred for relocation and other move related costs throughout
         the third and fourth quarters of 2003 and approximately $100 will be
         incurred in the first quarter of 2004.

         Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB
         Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
         Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
         Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that at the
         inception of the guarantee, a liability be recorded on the guarantor's
         balance sheet for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
         issuing the guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about
         the guarantees that an entity has issued. The adoption of FIN 45 did
         not have any effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows
         or financial position.

         A summary of the Company's critical and significant accounting policies
         are presented in its 2002 Form 10-K. Users of financial information
         produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes
         contained in the Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated
         financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only
         of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
         consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows
         of the Company for interim periods.



  2.     STOCK OPTION PLANS

         The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting
         prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
         for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), and related
         interpretations, in accounting for its fixed plan stock options. Under
         APB No. 25, compensation expense would be recorded if, on the date of
         grant, the market price of the underlying stock exceeded its exercise
         price. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had
         compensation cost for the stock option plans been determined based on
         the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans,
         consistent with the alternative method set forth under SFAS No. 123,
         "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and SFAS No. 148 "Accounting
         for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", the Company's
         net earnings and net earnings per share would have been reduced. The
         following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and net earnings
         per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
         provisions of SFAS No. 123, to stock based employee compensation:

</TABLE>

         The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant
         using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
         weighted-average assumptions for the second quarters of 2003 and 2002,
         respectively: dividend yields 0% and 0%; expected lives of 5.0 and 5.0
         years; risk-free interest rates of 2.43% and 4.43%; and expected
         volatility of 37.0% and 39.1%. The weighted-average fair value of
         options granted during the second quarters of 2003 and 2002 were $8.57
         and $9.85, respectively.

         Assumptions for the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively,
         were: dividend yields 0% and 0%; expected lives of 5.0 and 5.2 years;
         risk-free interest rates of 2.51% and 4.46%; and expected volatility of
         37.0% and 39.1%. The weighted-average fair value of options granted
         during the first six months of 2003 and 2002 were $8.44 and $9.34,
         respectively.

         On April 22, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         determined that stock-based compensation should be recognized as a cost
         in the financial statements and that such cost be measured according to
         the fair value of the stock options. The FASB has not as yet determined
         the methodology for calculating fair value and plans to issue an
         exposure draft later this year that could become effective in 2004. We
         will continue to monitor communications on this subject from the FASB
         in order to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated
         financial statements.

  3.     INVENTORIES

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally first-in /
         first-out) or market value. The Company records reductions to the cost
         of inventories based upon its forecasted plans to sell, historical
         scrap and disposal rates and physical condition of the inventories. The

</TABLE>


         At December 31, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of $3,954
         under a five-year mortgage on the land and buildings in North Carolina.
         During the first quarter of 2003, the Company paid $89 of the mortgage
         and refinanced the balance with a seven-year $12,480 combination
         mortgage and construction loan facility. Of this facility, $10,481 was
         drawn down in 2003, of which $3,865 was used to pay the outstanding
         balance on the existing mortgage and $6,616 was used for funding of
         construction costs in connection with the expansion in North Carolina.
         The mortgage and construction loan facility provides construction
         funding as funds are expended during the building expansion project.
         The mortgage includes an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75%, which
         totaled 3.07% as of June 30, 2003, monthly principal payments beginning
         April 15, 2004 based on a 20 year amortization schedule, a balloon
         payment due in March 2010, and terms that provide for the maintenance
         of certain financial ratios.

  6.     SALE OF LAND

         On February 13, 2002, the Company sold 13.5 acres of vacant land in
         Farmingdale, New York to an unrelated third party for gross proceeds of
         $3,335, which was reduced by $160 for closing costs. In addition, $235
         of the sales price was paid by the purchaser on February 13, 2003, in
         accordance with the original terms of the transaction. The land was
         included in property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2001, with a
         book value of $500. After transaction related costs of $407, the sale
         resulted in a gain of $2,428, (approximately $1,457 after-tax, or $0.16
         per basic share) which was recorded in the first quarter of 2002. In
         connection with this sale, an option was granted to the buyer for the
         remaining 8.5 acres of improved land and buildings owned by the
         Company. The option is for a purchase price of no less than $5,000 and
         cannot be exercised before December 1, 2004 or after December 1, 2005.

7.       CLOSURE OF FARMINGDALE PLANT

         On May 30, 2003, the Company announced the formal plan for the transfer
         of its principal manufacturing operations, for both the Cosmetic and
         Pharmaceutical segments, to Rocky Point, North Carolina from
         Farmingdale, New York. Pursuant to the Company's formal severance
         policy for non-union employees and, severance benefits due under the
         union contract resulting from the plant closure, a charge of $1,850
         ($1,156 after-tax, or $0.13 per basic share) for severance costs and
         related benefits for approximately 370 union and non-union employees
         associated with this move was recorded in the second quarter of 2003.
         Additional severance benefits earned by employees being terminated
         will be recognized as a charge in the financial statements as such
         severance benefits are earned. The Company estimates that a total of
         approximately $350 (Cosmetic segment, $200; Pharmaceutical segment,
         $150), will be expended for additional severance, relocation and other
         move related costs throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2003 and
         approximately $100 (Cosmetic segment, $60; Pharmaceutical segment,
         $40), will be expended for such costs in the first quarter of 2004.

  8.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to
         common shareholders (which equals the Company's recorded net earnings)
         by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
         period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
         could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock,
         such as stock options, were exercised, converted into common stock or
         otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock.

         On November 7, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 5%
         stock dividend. As a result, 434,835 shares of treasury stock were
         issued on December 27, 2002 to shareholders of record on November 29,
         2002. Accordingly, the weighted-average common shares outstanding in
         the consolidated statement of earnings for the three and six months
         ended June 30, 2002, have been adjusted to reflect the dividend.

         A reconciliation between the numerators and denominators of the basic
         and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:

         and 692,000 and 393,000 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2003
         and 2002, respectively, were not included in the net earnings per share
         calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

         As a result of stock options exercised during the first half of 2003,
         the corresponding tax benefit of $1,217 was recorded as a reduction to
         income taxes payable and as an increase in additional paid-in capital.

10.      SEGMENT INFORMATION

         The Company operates in two segments, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical,
         that have been organized by the products and services they offer. The
         Cosmetic segment's principal products are nail care, nail color, color
         cosmetics, beauty implements, bleaches and depilatories, personal care
         products and other related cosmetic items. The Pharmaceutical
         segment's principal products are proprietary oral analgesics, acne
         treatment products and first aid products. The accounting policies of
         the segments are the same as those described in the summary of
         significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates the performance
         of its operating segments based on operating income. Certain assets,
         including property, plant and equipment and deferred tax assets, are
         not allocated to the identifiable segments; depreciation of
         unallocated assets is charged to the Cosmetic segment.

11.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         In September 2001, the Company received notice from the Environmental
         Protection Agency ("EPA") that it was, along with 81 others, a
         Potentially Responsible Party regarding a Superfund Site ("the Site")
         located in Glen Cove, New York. According to the notice received from
         the EPA, the Company's involvement related to empty drums coming to
         the Site in 1977 and 1978. In the third quarter of 2001, the Company
         recorded an estimate of $550 in selling and administrative expenses
         based on information received from the EPA as to its potential
         liability for the past remediation activities. In October 2001, the
         Company became a member of a Joint Defense Group ("the JDG"). In the
         second quarter of 2002, the EPA and the JDG agreed in principle to the
         amounts of payments required to settle past and future liabilities
         under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
         Liability Act ("CERCLA") with regard to the Site. Pursuant to an
         agreement among JDG members as to how to allocate such payment
         amounts, the Company recorded, in the second quarter of 2002, an
         additional estimate of $785 in selling and administrative expenses.
         The charge of $785 had a negative impact of $0.05 per basic share on
         net earnings in the second quarter of 2002 and for the year ended
         December 31, 2002. During the third quarter of 2002, a trust was
         established with the intention of entering into a Consent Decree with
         the United States and the State of New York to settle all claims by
         the United States and the State of New York for past and future
         response costs and future actions at the Site. In September 2002, the
         Company paid $1,332 into a trust account which was held in escrow,
         together with payments by the other members of the JDG, for the
         eventual settlement with the EPA of the Company's potential liability
         under CERCLA. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company also paid
         into the same trust account $18 for the eventual settlement of the
         Company's potential liability for natural resource damages ("NRD")
         claims, which also are expected to be settled in the Consent Decree.
         During the second quarter of 2003, the United States, the State of New
         York and Federal District Court approved the aforementioned Consent
         Decree.



12.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         The Company's corporate offices are located in approximately 48,000
         square feet of leased space in Uniondale, New York. On July 17, 2003,
         the Company entered into an agreement to extend this lease to December
         31, 2014, and simultaneously entered into a lease agreement to
         December 31, 2014 for approximately 41,000 additional square feet of
         leased space within the same building in Uniondale, New York. The
         Company will transfer all administrative offices currently located in
         Farmingdale, N.Y. to Uniondale, N.Y. and consolidate the corporate and
         administrative offices at the Uniondale, N.Y. facility. The total
         payment obligation for these leases approximates $28,670 as shown in
         the following table:

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         (In thousands, except per share data)


DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company makes estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that
the following discussion addresses the Company's most critical accounting
policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the
Company's financial condition and results of operations and which require
management's most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the
need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain. The following is a brief discussion of the more critical accounting
policies employed by the Company.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company sells its products to chain drug stores, mass volume retailers,
supermarkets, wholesalers and overseas distributors. Sales of such products are
denominated in U.S. dollars and sales in Canada are denominated in Canadian
dollars. The Company's accounts receivable reflect the granting of credit to
these customers. The Company generally grants credit based upon an analysis of
the customer's financial position and previously established buying and selling
patterns. The Company does not bill customers for shipping and handling costs
and, accordingly, classifies such costs as selling and administrative expense.
Revenues are recognized and discounts are recorded when merchandise is shipped.
Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less returns, various promotional
allowances and trade discounts and allowances. The Company allows customers to
return their unsold products when they meet certain criteria as outlined in the
Company's sales policies. The Company regularly reviews and revises, as deemed
necessary, its estimate of reserves for future sales returns based primarily
upon actual return rates by product and planned product discontinuances. The
Company records estimated reserves for future sales returns as a reduction of
sales, cost of sales and accounts receivable. Returned products which are
recorded as inventories are valued based on estimated realizable value. The
physical condition and marketability of the returned products are the major
factors considered by the Company in estimating realizable value. Actual
returns, as well as estimated realizable values of returned products, may differ
significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from estimates if factors such
as economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions
differ from expectations.

PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES AND CO-OPERATIVE ADVERTISING

The Company has various performance-based arrangements with retailers to
reimburse them for all or a portion of their promotional activities related to
the Company's products. These sales incentives offered voluntarily by the
Company to customers, without charge, that can be used in or that are
exercisable by a customer as a result of a single exchange transaction, are
recorded as a reduction of net sales at the later of the sale or the offer, and
primarily allow customers to take deductions against amounts owed to the Company
for product purchases. The Company also has co-operative advertising
arrangements with retail customers to reimburse them for all or a portion of
their advertising of the Company's products. The estimated liabilities for these
co-operative advertising arrangements are recorded as advertising expense as
incurred, or in the period the related revenue is recognized, depending on the
terms of the arrangement, and included in selling and administrative expenses,
since the Company receives an identifiable benefit from retail customers for an
amount equal to or less than the fair value of such advertising cost. These
arrangements primarily allow retail customers to take deductions against amounts
owed to the Company for product purchases. The Company regularly reviews and
revises the estimated accruals for these promotional allowance and cooperative
advertising programs. Actual costs incurred by the Company may differ
significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from estimates if factors such
as the level and success of the retailers' programs or other conditions differ
from our expectations.




                                      -12-
<PAGE>




INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is principally
determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company records a reduction to
the cost of inventories based upon its forecasted plans to sell, historical
scrap and disposal rates and the physical condition of the inventories. These
reductions are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or
unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions, the timing
of new product introductions, customer inventory levels, fashion-oriented color
cosmetic trends or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Leasehold
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the
estimated useful lives or the lease term. Changes in circumstances, such as
technological advances, changes to the Company's business model or changes in
the Company's capital strategy could result in the actual useful lives differing
from the Company's estimates. In those cases where the Company determines that
the useful life of property, plant and equipment should be shortened, the
Company would depreciate the net book value in excess of the salvage value, over
its revised remaining useful life, thereby increasing depreciation expense.
Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, fixtures, software or
planned closing of facilities could result in shortened useful lives.

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed by the Company for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The estimate of cash
flow is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected
future operating performance. The Company's estimates of undiscounted cash flow
may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological
changes, economic conditions, changes to its business model or changes in its
operating performance. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding
interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment
loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value
of the asset.

The remaining useful lives of intangible assets subject to amortization are
evaluated each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances
warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of
an intangible asset's remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying
amount of the intangible asset should be amortized prospectively over that
revised remaining useful life.

Goodwill must be tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. The
Company's reporting units are its Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical segments. If an
indication of impairment exists, the Company is required to determine if such
reporting unit's implied fair value is less than its carrying value in order to
determine the amount, if any, of the impairment loss required to be recorded.
The testing performed as of January 1, 2003, indicated that there was no
impairment to goodwill.

PENSION BENEFITS

The Company sponsors pension and other retirement plans in various forms
covering all eligible employees. Several statistical and other factors which
attempt to anticipate future events are used in calculating the expense and
liability related to the plans. These factors include assumptions about the
discount rate, expected return on plan assets and rate of future compensation
increases as determined by the Company, within certain guidelines and in
conjunction with its actuarial consultants. In addition, the Company's actuarial
consultants also use subjective factors such as withdrawal and mortality rates
to estimate the expense and liability related to these plans. The actuarial
assumptions used by the Company may differ significantly, either favorably or
unfavorably, from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions,
higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life spans of
participants.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VERSUS JUNE 30, 2002


Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $97,976, an increase
of 5.1% compared to second quarter 2002 net sales of $93,262. Consolidated net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $191,339, an increase of 10.5%
compared to the first six months of 2002 net sales of $173,202.

The Cosmetic segment net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $78,576, an
increase of 3.1% compared to $76,234 for the second quarter of 2002. Cosmetic
net sales for the first six months of 2003 were $154,834, an increase of 10.6%
compared to $139,980 for the first six months of 2002. The second quarter
increase was primarily due to sales of Sally Hansen Healing Beauty, a new line
of skincare makeup, and an increase in sales of the core Sally Hansen family of
brands. The net sales increases for the first six months of 2003 were partially
offset by reduced volume in the Naturistics brand and increased returns
throughout the Cosmetic segment product line. The increased returns were
primarily due to planogram changes by retail customers and the elimination of
the Naturistics line by certain retail customers. The planogram changes by
retailers occurred earlier in 2003 compared to the prior year, and therefore the
Company does not anticipate the same level of returns during the second six
months of 2003. The product mix within the Naturistics cosmetics brand is being
repositioned in order to facilitate the introduction of a sub-brand of lip gloss
items called Miss Kiss. Sally Hansen, the core brand of the Cosmetics segment,
remains the number one brand in the mass market nail care category with a 26%
share of market for the quarter, as reported by ACNielsen.

The Pharmaceutical segment net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were
$19,400, an increase of 13.9% compared to $17,028 in 2002. Pharmaceutical net
sales for the first six months of 2003 were $36,505, an increase of 9.9%
compared to $33,222 in 2002. The second quarter increase is primarily due to
volume growth in the Orajel brand. Orajel, the core brand of the Pharmaceutical
segment, continues its leadership position in the oral analgesics category, with
a 30% share of market for the quarter, as reported by Information Resources,
Inc. The six month increase is due primarily to increased sales in the Dermarest
brand of psoriasis and eczema treatments, the Gentle Naturals line of
naturally-based baby care products, DiabetAid, a line of products designed to
treat the common everyday health care needs of problems associated with
diabetes, and Orajel.

Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2003 was $47,170 or 48.1% of net
sales, compared to $44,979 or 48.2% of net sales in 2002. Cost of goods sold for
the first six months of 2003 was $92,828 or 48.5% of net sales, compared to
$82,356 or 47.5% of net sales in 2002. The increase in cost of goods sold as a
percentage of net sales for the six months is primarily attributable to the
first quarter returns of Naturistics Cosmetics as a result of the repositioning
of this line, and a change in sales mix within the Pharmaceutical segment
primarily due to increased volume of the new Gentle Naturals and Diabet-Aid
brands.

Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2003 were $40,155
or 41.0% of net sales compared to $39,663 or 42.5% of net sales in 2002. Selling
and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2003 were $79,804, or
41.7% of net sales, compared to $75,080 or 43.3% of net sales in 2002. The
improvement in selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, is primarily attributable to net sales increasing at a higher rate than
increases in expenses. Additionally, the second quarter of 2003 and first six
months of 2003 include an estimated recovery of $511 related to the K-Mart
Chapter XI bankruptcy filing.

On May 30, 2003, the Company announced a formal plan for the transfer of its
principal manufacturing operations, for both the Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical
segments, to Rocky Point, North Carolina from Farmingdale, N.Y. Pursuant to the
Company's formal severance policy for non-union employees and, severance
benefits due under the union contract resulting from the plant closure, a charge
of $1,850 ($1,156 after-tax, or $0.13 per basic share) for severance costs and
related benefits for approximately 370 union and non-union employees associated
with this move was recorded in the second quarter of 2003. The Company projects
that $228 and $708 will be paid in the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2003
respectively, and $1,364 during the first six months of 2004. Additional
severance benefits earned by employees being terminated will be recognized as a
charge in the financial statements as such severance benefits are earned. The
charge of $1,850 is included in the operating income of the segments as follows:
Cosmetic - $1,193 or 65%, of the charge, and Pharmaceutical - $657 or 35%, of
the charge. It is estimated that a total of approximately $350 (Cosmetic
segment, $200; Pharmaceutical segment, $150), will be expended for additional
severance, relocation and other move related costs throughout the third and
fourth quarters of 2003 and approximately $100 (Cosmetic segment, $60;
Pharmaceutical segment, $40), will be expended for such costs in the first
quarter of 2004. The move to North Carolina will consolidate the Company's
principal manufacturing operations with its principal distribution facility and
result in improved operating efficiencies and reduced manufacturing expenses.

In the first quarter of 2002, the Company sold 13.5 acres of vacant land in
Farmingdale, New York to an unrelated third party for gross proceeds of $3,335
which was reduced by $160 for closing costs. In addition, $235 of the sales
price was paid by the purchaser on February 12, 2003 in accordance with the
original terms of the transaction. The land was included in property, plant and
equipment at December 31, 2001, with a book value of $500. After transaction
related costs of $407, a gain of $2,428 was recorded in the first quarter of
last year. The gain of $2,428, or $1,457 after tax, increased basic earnings per
share by $0.16 for the first quarter of last year. In connection with this sale,
an option was granted to the buyer for the remaining 8.5 acres of improved land
and buildings owned by the Company. The option is for a purchase price of no
less than $5,000 and cannot be exercised before December 1, 2004 or after
December 1, 2005.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2003 was $8,801 or 9.0% of net sales,
compared to $8,620 or 9.2% of net sales for the second quarter of 2002. The
operating income for the second quarter of 2003 includes a charge of $1,850
(1.9% of net sales) related to severance cost associated with the transfer of
manufacturing operations to North Carolina. Operating income for the first six
months of 2003 was $16,857 or 8.8% of net sales, compared to $15,766 or 9.1% of
net sales in 2002. The six months results for 2003 include a charge of $1,850
for severance costs recorded in the second quarter of 2003.

Interest expense, net of interest income, for the second quarter of 2003 was
$1,009 a reduction of 10.4% from net interest expense of $1,126 reported for the
second quarter of 2002. Interest expense, net of interest income, for the first
six months of 2003 was $2,054, a reduction of 12.4% from the net interest
expense of $2,344 recorded for the first six months of 2002. The decrease in
interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2003 is due
primarily to a reduction of approximately 94 basis points in average borrowing
rates.

Income taxes are based on the Company's expected annual effective tax rate of
37.5% in 2003. The decrease from the rate of 39.0% used for the first six months
of 2002 is primarily due to the effect of permanent non-deductible expenses on
taxable income, the reduced effect of such non-deductible expenses on taxable
income, and the benefit of a reduction in the Canadian statutory tax rate.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2003 were $4,940 or $0.54 per basic
share, an increase of 7.6% compared to the net earnings of $4,589 or $0.51 per
basic share reported in the second quarter of 2002. The net earnings for the
second quarter of 2003 include an after-tax charge of $1,156 or $0.13 per basic
share for severance costs. Net earnings for the first six months of 2003 were
$9,265 or $1.01 per basic share compared to net earnings for the first six
months of 2002 of $9,537 or $1.06 per basic share. The net earnings for the
first six months of 2003 include an after-tax charge of $1,156 or $0.13 per
basic share for severance costs and the net earnings for the first six months of
2002 include an after-tax gain of $1,457 or $0.16 per basic share from the sale
of vacant land.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2003 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $715 compared to
$501 at December 31, 2002 and $1,594 at June 30, 2002.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was
$3,278. Increases in accounts receivable of $14,190 and inventories of $7,506
were partially offset by net earnings of $9,265 and an increase in accounts
payable of $7,911. The increase in accounts receivable is attributable to
increased sales volume and the timing of shipments during the second quarter.
The increases in inventories and accounts payable are due to the timing of
purchases of raw materials and components to support projected sales levels.

Net cash used in investing activities of $9,848 for the six months ended June
30, 2003, is principally due to expenditures for construction related to the
expansion of the manufacturing and distribution facility located in North
Carolina. On February 12, 2003, the Company received $235 representing the
remaining proceeds due from the sale of vacant land in the first quarter of last
year. The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $1,457 ($0.16 per basic share)
which was recorded in the first quarter of last year. In connection with this
sale, an option was granted to the buyer for the remaining 8.5 acres of improved
land and buildings owned by the Company. The option is for a purchase price of
no less than $5,000 and cannot be exercised before December 1, 2004 or after
December 1, 2005.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2003, was $13,330 principally due to an additional $16,000 of net borrowings
under the revolving credit agreement and borrowings of $10,481 related to the
refinancing of the mortgage on the land and buildings in North Carolina,
partially offset by a principal payment of $8,000 under the senior notes. At
December 31, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of $3,954 under a
five-year mortgage on the land and buildings in North Carolina. During the first
six months of 2003, the Company paid $89 of the mortgage and refinanced the
balance with a seven-year $12,480 combination mortgage and construction loan
facility. Of this facility, $10,481 was drawn in 2003, of which $3,865 was used
to pay the outstanding balance on the existing mortgage and $6,616 was used for
funding of construction costs in connection with the expansion in North
Carolina. The mortgage and construction loan facility provides construction
funding as funds are expended during the building expansion project. The
mortgage includes an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75%, which totaled
3.07% as of June 30, 2003, monthly principal payments beginning April 15, 2004
based on a 20 year amortization schedule, a balloon payment due in March 2010,
and terms that provide for the maintenance of certain financial ratios.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In order to aggregate all contractual obligations as of June 30, 2003, including
the leases signed on July 17, 2003 as explained in note 12 to the consolidated

The Company's corporate offices are located in approximately 48,000 square feet
of leased space in Uniondale, New York. On July 17, 2003, the Company entered
into an agreement to extend this lease to December 31, 2014, and simultaneously
entered into a lease agreement to December 31, 2014 for approximately 41,000
additional square feet of leased space within the same building in Uniondale,
New York, in order to transfer all administrative offices currently located in
Farmingdale, N.Y. to Uniondale, N.Y. and result in the consolidation of the
Company's corporate and administrative offices at the Uniondale, N.Y. facility.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, cash on hand and amounts
available from the credit facility and the combination mortgage and construction
loan will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated cash
requirements during 2003. However, there can be no assurance that the
combination of cash flow from future operations, cash on hand and amounts
available from the credit facility and the combination mortgage and construction
loan will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements. Additionally,
in the event of a decrease in demand for its products or reduced sales, such
developments, if significant, would reduce the Company's cash flow from
operations and could adversely affect the Company's ability to achieve certain
financial covenants under the senior note and revolving credit agreements. If
the Company is unable to satisfy such financial covenants, the Company could be
required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying certain
operating expenditures and/or delaying capital expenditures.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN No. 46"). FIN No. 46 requires that if an
entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the
assets, liabilities and results of activities of the variable interest entity
should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity. FIN
No. 46 requires that its provisions are effective immediately for all
arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. As the Company does not have
any variable interest entities, the adoption of FIN No. 46 did not have an
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows or
financial position.

On April 22, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") determined
that stock-based compensation should be recognized as a cost in the financial
statements and that such cost be measured according to the fair value of the
stock options. The FASB has not as yet determined the methodology for
calculating fair value and plans to issue an exposure draft later this year that
could become effective in 2004. We will continue to monitor communications on
this subject from the FASB in order to determine the impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies the
accounting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In
particular, SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an
initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative and when a
derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the
statement of cash flows. SFAS No 149 is effective for derivative contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. As the Company does not have any
derivative instruments required to be reported under SFAS No. 149, the adoption
of this statement did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results
of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
establishes standards for how freestanding financial instruments, those
financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity,
should be classified on a Company's balance sheet. The requirements of SFAS No.
150 require that financial instruments which give the issuer a choice of
settling an obligation with a variable number of securities, settling an
obligation with a transfer of assets or any mandatorily redeemable instrument
should be classified as a liability. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all
freestanding financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.
Otherwise, the provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective July 1, 2003. The
adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated
results of operations, cashflows or financial position.
