                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

           This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment") amends and
restates Items 7 and 15 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003 filed on March 12, 2004 (the "Original Filing"). Del
Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") has filed this Amendment solely to reclassify
amortization of display fixtures owned by the Company and located at the
Company's customers. In the Original Filing such amortization was included in
the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Other Assets, a component of Net
Cash Provided By Operating Activities. The Amendment reclassifies such
amortization as a separate line item, also in Net Cash Provided By Operating
Activities, specifically identifying amortization related to display fixtures.
These reclassifications have no net effect on Net Cash Provided By Operating
Activities.

           A description of these reclassifications is provided in Note 1, a
summary of their effect is provided in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the effect on segment data is
provided in Note 16. This Amendment also includes corresponding textual changes
in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations. This Amendment has no effect on the Balance Sheets,
Statements of Income, and Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity, and
more specifically, does not affect net income, earnings per share, total cash
flows, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total stockholders'
equity or other information as presented in the Original Filing.

           Other information contained herein has not been updated. Therefore,
this Amendment should be read together with other documents that the Company has
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of
the Original Filing. Information in such reports and documents updates and
supersedes certain information contained in this Amendment. The filing of this
Amendment shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Filing, when made,
included any known, untrue statement of material fact or knowingly omitted to
state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW

Del Laboratories, Inc. is a fully integrated marketing and manufacturing company
operating in two major segments of the packaged consumer products business:
cosmetics and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Each of the Company's marketing
divisions is responsible for branded lines fitting into one of these general
categories and develops its own plans and goals consistent with its operating
environment and the Company's corporate objectives.

The Company owns a portfolio of highly recognized branded products which are
easy to use, competitively priced and trusted. As reported by ACNielsen, many of
the Company's brands have leading market positions in their product categories.
In our cosmetics segment, the Sally Hansen brand is the number one brand in the
mass market nail care category with market leadership positions in nail color,
nail treatment, and bleaches and depilatories. The Sally Hansen LaCross brand is
the leader in nail and beauty implements providing a line of high quality beauty
implements including nail clippers, files, scissors, tweezers and eyelash
curlers. N.Y.C. New York Color is one of the most successful new cosmetics
brands in the mass market. This highly recognizable brand of value cosmetics
offers a complete collection of high quality products at opening price points.
In our over-the-counter pharmaceutical segment, the Orajel brand is the leading
oral analgesic in the mass market channel, as reported by Information Resources,
Inc. The Orajel family of products has been developed with unique formulations
specifically targeted at distinct oral pain and baby care indications. Our
Dermarest brand is the most complete line of non-prescription products for
relief of psoriasis and eczema and is the market share leader in the
psoriasis/eczema treatment category.

The Company believes it has outstanding customer relationships with a
diversified group of prominent retailers across multiple distribution channels
including mass merchandisers, drug chains, drug wholesalers and food retailers
and wholesalers. Del has a strong track record of developing innovative new
products and successful brand extensions. An in-house research and development
department focuses on product development, clinical and regulatory affairs and
quality control.

As discussed in more detail throughout our MD&A:

o    We recognized a charge of $2,033,000 ($1,255,000 after-tax, or $0.13 per
     basic share) during fiscal 2003 for severance costs and related benefits
     associated with the transfer of our principal manufacturing operations from
     New York to North Carolina.

o    In the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, we recognized a gain of
     $2,428,000 ($1,532,000 after-tax, or $0.16 per basic share) associated with
     the sale of vacant land in Farmingdale, N.Y.

o    We had recoveries of $744,485 in fiscal 2003 related to the favorable
     settlement of accounts receivable fully reserved in fiscal years 2001 and
     2002 in connection with the K-Mart Chapter XI bankruptcy filing.

o    In fiscal 2003, the Company refinanced an existing five year mortgage on
     its property in North Carolina with a seven year $12,480,000 mortgage in
     connection with the expansion of the North Carolina manufacturing and
     distribution facility.

o    On March 12, 2004, the Company obtained a commitment from the lender under
     the senior notes to extend the maturity of the notes, extend the principal
     payment schedule, reduce the interest rate and reduce or eliminate certain
     restrictive covenants. The Company is also in negotiations with the lenders
     under the revolving credit agreement to extend the maturity, reduce the
     interest rate and reduce or eliminate certain restrictive covenants. The
     Company anticipates that formal agreements as discussed above, covering the
     senior notes and the revolving credit agreement will be executed before
     April 15, 2004.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net sales in 2003 were $386.0 million, an increase of 10.1%
compared to net sales of $350.7 million in 2002.

The Cosmetic segment of the business generated net sales in 2003 of $310.4
million, an increase of 9.4% compared to net sales of $283.9 million in 2002.
The increase over prior year is due primarily to volume growth in the Sally
Hansen family of brands. As reported by ACNielsen, the Sally Hansen, brand
remains the number one brand in the mass market nail care category increasing
its market share to 25.4% for the year. In nail color, Sally Hansen the number
one brand, increased its market share to 27.4%. The Sally Hansen, LaCross
implement brand, the number one brand, increased its market share to 23.1%. In
bleaches and depilatories, the Sally Hansen brand, the number one brand,
increased its market share to 29.2%. Sally Hansen also maintained its number one
market share in nail treatment with a 55% share of market. Sally Hansen Healing
Beauty, a line of skincare makeup, was successfully added in 2003 as a new
product line under the Sally Hansen brand. The N.Y.C. New York Color brand of
cosmetics continued its excellent performance as one of the most successful new
mass market cosmetics brands with a double-digit increase in sales. The brand is
now sold in over 13,000 retail outlets in the U.S. and as a result of its broad
distribution in mass retail outlets, is the number one value cosmetic brand
in Canada and Puerto Rico. Net sales of the Naturistics cosmetics brand
decreased in 2003 due to the elimination of the line by certain retail
customers. The product mix within the Naturistics cosmetics brand has been
repositioned in order to facilitate the introduction of a sub-brand of lip gloss
items called Miss Kiss.

The over-the-counter Pharmaceutical segment of the business generated net sales
in 2003 of $75.5 million, an increase of 13.0% compared to net sales of $66.8
million in 2002. The increase is primarily due to volume growth in the Orajel
brand and increased sales of the Dermarest brand of psoriasis and eczema
treatments. Orajel, the core brand of the Pharmaceutical segment continues its
leadership position in the oral analgesics category with a 27.9% share of market
for the year, as reported by Information Resources, Inc. In addition, the
dermarest brand expanded its leadership position in the over-the-counter
psoriasis/eczema treatment category with over a 30% share of market for the
year as reported by Information Resources, Inc.

Cost of goods sold for fiscal year 2003 was $185.8 million or 48.1% of net
sales, compared to $171.3 million or 48.9% of net sales in fiscal 2002. The
improvement in margin is primarily related to increased efficiencies in plant
operations, a reduction in the provision for slow moving inventory, and an
improvement in the recovery back to inventory of returned merchandise.

Selling and administrative expenses were $161.6 million in 2003, or 41.9% of net
sales compared to $146.0, or 41.6% of net sales in 2002. The increase in selling
and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2003 is principally
due to an increase of approximately $10.0 million in advertising expenses and
display costs primarily in support of the core Sally Hansen franchise and the
new Healing Beauty product line. Also included in selling and administrative
expenses for fiscal 2003 are recoveries of $744.0 thousand related to the
favorable settlement of fully reserved accounts receivable in connection with
the fiscal 2002 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, 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, charges
of $2.0 million ($1.3 million 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 transfer were recorded in fiscal 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 an additional $71.0 thousand will be incurred during the first
six months of fiscal 2004 for severance costs and related benefits. Of the $2.1
million of the total severance costs and related benefits, approximately $1.8
million will be paid during the first six months of 2004. The move to North
Carolina will consolidate the Company's principal manufacturing operation with
its principal distribution facility and result in expected improvement in
operating efficiencies and reduced manufacturing expenses. It is expected that
the relocation will be completed by April 2004.

Net interest expense of $3.9 million in fiscal year 2003 decreased approximately
$0.5 million from fiscal year 2002. Average borrowing levels for fiscal 2003
increased by approximately $5.7 million, resulting in an increase in interest
costs of approximately $0.3 million. This increase was more than offset by lower
interest costs of approximately $0.8 million due to a reduction of approximately
132 basis points on average borrowings in fiscal 2003.

Other income (net) in fiscal year 2003 was $338 thousand, an improvement of $743
thousand compared to other expense (net) in fiscal year 2002, principally due to
gains on foreign exchange transactions.

The Company's effective annual tax rate for 2003 was 38.1% compared to 36.9% for
2002. The higher effective tax rate in 2003 compared to 2002 is primarily
attributable to the recording of a lower foreign tax credit benefit, an increase
in the amount of permanent non-deductible expenses and the increased effect of
such non-deductible expenses on taxable income for 2003.

Net earnings for the year 2003 were $20.4 million, or $2.11 per basic share. The
results for 2003 include after-tax charges of $1.3 million, or $0.13 per basic
share related to severance costs associated with the relocation of the Company's
principal manufacturing operations from Farmingdale, N.Y. to Rocky Point, North
Carolina. Net earnings for the year 2002 were $19.5 million, or $2.05 per basic
share. The earnings for 2002 include an after-tax gain of $1.5 million, or $0.16
per basic share, related to the sale in February 2002 of vacant land in
Farmingdale, N.Y.

The Company believes that general inflation has had no significant impact on its
earnings from operations during the last three years.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

Net sales were $350.7 million and $304.6 million for 2002 and 2001,
respectively, an increase of $46.1 million or 15.1%. Net sales for 2001 include
a reclassification to conform with current year presentation in accordance with
EITF Issue No. 01-9. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 01-9
(previously Issue Nos. 00-14 and 00-25). As a result, certain sales incentives
historically included in selling and administrative expenses have been
reclassified as reductions to net sales. Cosmetic net sales were $283.9 million
and $239.2 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, an increase of $44.7 million
or 18.7%. The increase is due primarily to volume growth in the Sally Hansen
family of brands. According to ACNielsen, the Sally Hansen brand remains the
number one brand in the mass market nail care category and finished the year
with a 14% increase in retail sales, while the brand continues as the leader in
the mass market nail color category with a 31% share of market. The N.Y.C. New
York Color brand of cosmetics achieved a 33% increase in retail sales according
to ACNielsen. Pharmaceutical net sales were $66.8 million and $65.4 million for
2002 and 2001, respectively, an increase of $1.4 million or 2.1%. The increase
is primarily due to the Gentle Naturals line of baby care products and
DiabetAid, a new line of products including mouth rinse, lotions, creams and
tablets to meet the health care needs of people with diabetes. Increased
Pharmaceutical sales in 2002 compared to 2001 were partially reduced by higher
promotional costs in 2002 compared to 2001 and the reclassification of these
promotional costs as a reduction from revenue in accordance with EITF Issue No.
01-9. While the Orajel brand sales only had a slight increase over prior year
due to a reduction of inventory levels by wholesalers and retailers, the brand
increased its leadership position in the oral analgesics category with a 27.7%
share of market for the year as reported by Information Resources, Inc.

Cost of sales were $171.3 million or 48.9% of net sales in 2002, compared to
$146.6 million or 48.1% in 2001, an increase of $24.7 million or 16.8%. The
increase is primarily due to higher manufacturing costs associated with the
higher sales volume in Cosmetics and a change in sales mix in Pharmaceuticals
primarily attributable to the new Gentle Naturals and DiabetAid brands. Selling
and administrative expenses were $146.0 million or 41.6% of net sales in 2002
compared to $134.6 million or 44.2% of net sales in 2001. The expenses include
charges of $0.4 million in 2002 and $3.1 million in 2001 for a provision for
doubtful accounts related to the K-Mart Chapter XI bankruptcy filing. Before
this charge, selling and administrative expenses in prior year were $131.5 or
43.2% of net sales. The increase in selling and administrative expenses in 2002
is primarily due to higher shipping costs related to increased sales, increased
selling costs, and increased compensation and pension expenses. The improvement
in selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, is
attributable to net sales increasing at a higher rate than increases in
expenses.

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 thousand 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 thousand in selling and administrative expenses.
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 thousand 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 an additional $18 thousand 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. The charge of $785 thousand ($495
thousand after-tax) reduced basic earnings per share by $0.05 for the year 2002.
During the second quarter of 2003, the United States, the State of New York, and
the Federal District Court approved the aforementioned Consent Decree.

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 $3.3 million which
was reduced by $160 thousand for closing costs. In addition, $235 thousand of
the sales price was paid by the purchaser on February 12, 2003. The land was
included in property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2001, with a book
value of $500 thousand. After transaction related costs of $407 thousand, a gain
of $2.4 million 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 $5.0 million and cannot be exercised before December 1,
2004 or after December 1, 2005. The gain of $2.4 million ($1.5 million
after-tax) increased basic earnings per share by $0.17 for the year 2002.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $4.4 million in 2002 compared to
$6.8 million in 2001. The decrease in net interest expense in 2002 compared to
2001 is due primarily to a reduction in average outstanding borrowings of
approximately $14.0 million and to a reduction of approximately 200 basis points
in average borrowing rates.

The Company's effective annual tax rate for 2002 was 36.9% compared to 39.4% for
2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the decrease in
the amount of permanent non-deductible expenses in comparison to the prior year
and the reduced effect of such non-deductible expenses on taxable income for
2002. The Company's tax expense was also reduced in 2002 by a change in the
valuation allowance of approximately $818 thousand resulting from the
utilization of foreign and other tax credits, as well as the recognition of
foreign tax credit carry forwards of $305 thousand, as it was determined that it
is more likely than not that such carry forwards will be utilized in the future.

As a result of the above net earnings increased to $19.5 million, or 5.6% of net
sales in 2002, compared to $9.8 million, or 3.2% of net sales in 2001. The
Company believes that general inflation has had no significant impact on its
earnings from operations during the last three years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH FLOW OVERVIEW

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.6 million during fiscal 2003, to $2.1
million at December 31, 2003, primarily from $8.7 million provided by operating
activities, $12.5 million provided by borrowings under a mortgage on the North
Carolina facility, and $12.0 million provided by the revolving credit agreement.
Of the funds provided by operating and financing activities, approximately $10.5
million was used to finance the North Carolina expansion project, $8.0 million
was used to reduce a portion of the outstanding principal balance on the senior
notes, $7.7 million was used for manufacturing machinery and equipment, $3.9
million was used to refinance the previously outstanding mortgage on the North
Carolina property and $1.4 million was used to acquire shares of the
Company's common stock from employees upon their tendering of such shares to
pay for stock options being exercised.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2003 was $8.7 million
due primarily to net earnings of $20.4 million, depreciation and amortization of
$8.3 million, and amortization of display fixtures of $6.3 million and an
increase in accounts payable of $10.8 million. These increases in net cash
provided by operating activities were partially offset by increases in accounts
receivable of $23.6 million and increases in inventories of $10.9 million. The
increases in accounts payable and inventories are due to the timing of purchases
of raw materials and components to support projected sales levels. The increase
in accounts receivable is due to the timing of shipments during the fourth
quarter of 2003.

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2002 was $13.8 million
due primarily to net earnings of $19.5 million, depreciation and amortization of
$7.6 million, and amortization of display fixtures of $3.5 million and an
increase in accounts payable of $10.8 million. These increases in net cash
provided by operating activities were partially offset by the higher inventories
of $17.2 million. The increases in accounts payable and inventories are due to
the timing of purchases of raw materials and components to support projected
sales levels.

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2001 was $26.1 million
due primarily to net earnings of $9.8 million, depreciation and amortization of
$8.5 million, and amortization of display fixtures of $3.4 million and an
increase in accrued liabilities of $5.5 million primarily attributable to
increased advertising and promotional costs.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2003, 2002 and 2001 was
$18.0 million, $6.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively. In fiscal year 2003,
approximately $10.5 million was used for capital spending related to the
expansion of the North Carolina facility and $7.7 million for capital spending
related to manufacturing machinery and equipment. The Company anticipates
capital spending related to manufacturing machinery and equipment to approximate
$9.5 million in fiscal year 2004. In fiscal year 2002, approximately $9.1
million was used for capital spending related to manufacturing machinery and
equipment and approximately $2.9 million was provided by the sale of land. 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 $5.0 million and cannot be exercised before
December 1, 2004 or after December 1, 2005. In fiscal year 2001, approximately
$5.5 million was used for capital spending related to manufacturing machinery
and equipment.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

In May 2003, the Company made a principal payment of $8.0 million under the
senior notes reducing the outstanding principal balance to $24.0 million at
December 31, 2003. Of the outstanding principal $8.0 million is due on May 31,
2004 and $16.0 million is due on May 31, 2005. The senior notes are unsecured,
carry an interest rate 9.5%, and include covenants which provide among other
things for the maintenance of financial ratios relating to consolidated net
worth, restrictions on cash dividends, the purchase of treasury stock and
certain other expenditures. On March 12, 2004, the Company obtained a commitment
from the lender under the senior notes to extend the maturity of the notes to
April 2011, revise the principal payment schedule to have principal payments of
$6.0 million begin in April 2008 and continue annually in April of each year
through April 2011, reduce the interest rate and reduce or eliminate certain
restrictive covenants. The Company anticipates that the formal agreement will be
executed before April 15, 2004.

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with three banks which provides
credit of $45.0 million of which $34.0 million was outstanding at December 31,
2003. Under the terms of the agreement which expires on March 26, 2005, interest
rates on outstanding borrowings are based on, at the Company's option, LIBOR or
prime rates. The weighted-average interest rate for 2003 was 3.1% compared to
4.1% in 2002. The agreement contains covenants which provide, among other
things, for the maintenance of financial ratios relating to consolidated net
worth, restrictions on cash dividends, the purchase of treasury stock and
certain other expenditures. The agreement is unsecured and no compensating
balances are required. The Company is negotiating with the lenders under the
revolving credit agreement to extend the expiration date of the $45.0 million
revolving credit agreement, reduce the interest rate and reduce or eliminate
certain restrictive covenants. The Company anticipates that the formal agreement
will be executed before April 15, 2004.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of $4.0 million
under a five-year mortgage on the land and buildings in North Carolina. In March
2003, the Company refinanced the then outstanding balance on the existing five
year mortgage of $3.9 million with a seven year $12.5 million combination
mortgage and construction loan facility. The mortgage and construction loan
facility was used to provide construction funding as funds were expended during
the building expansion project in North Carolina. The outstanding mortgage of
$12.5 million at December 31, 2003 includes an interest rate based on LIBOR
plus 1.75%, which totaled 2.87%, 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.

The Company does not use any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company's near-term cash requirements are primarily related to the funding
of operations, capital expenditures and interest obligations on outstanding
debt. The Company believes that cash flows from operating activities, cash on
hand and amounts available from the credit facility will be sufficient to enable
the Company to meet its anticipated cash requirements for 2004. 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 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.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

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. Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements includes
a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. 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 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 estimates 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.




                                      -10-
<PAGE>


Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") Issue No. 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a
Customer". EITF Issue No. 01-9 requires that sales incentives offered
voluntarily by a vendor, without charge, to customers that can be used in, or
that are exercisable by a customer as a result of a single exchange transaction
be recorded as a reduction from revenue. In addition, EITF Issue No. 01-9
requires that unless specific criteria are met, consideration from a vendor to a
retailer be recorded as a reduction from revenue, as opposed to a selling
expense. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 01-09, costs of $39.6, $35.3 and
$28.1 million were recorded as a reduction of net sales for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2001, these costs were
included in selling and administrative expenses and have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.


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 co-operative
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.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

In estimating the collectibility of our trade receivables, the Company evaluates
specific accounts when it becomes aware of information indicating that a
customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to a
deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings or bankruptcy.
The Company also reviews the related aging of past due receivables in assessing
the realization of these receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
determined based on the best information available to us on specific accounts
and is also developed by using percentages applied to certain receivables.


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.




                                      -11-

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.

The Company constructs and purchases display fixtures to be used in the stores
of its cosmetic segment retail customers to attract customer attention and to
display products available under the Company's various brands. The display is
included in inventory by the Company until it is shipped to the retail customer,
at which time it is reclassified from inventory to other assets and amortized as
a selling expense over the estimated useful life of twenty four months from date
of shipment.

Intangible assets with determinable lives and other 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. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. 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 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.

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 annual testing performed as of January 1, 2003, indicated that there was no
impairment to goodwill.

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.

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 actuarial valuation
incorporates 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.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN No. 46"). FIN No. 46 was subject to
significant interpretation by the FASB, and was revised and reissued in December
2003 ("FIN No. 46R"). FIN No. 46R states that if an entity has a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, the liabilities
and results of activities of the variable interest entity should be included in
the consolidated financial statements of the entity. The provisions of FIN No.
46 and FIN No. 46R are applicable for all entities that are considered special
purpose entities ("SPE") by the end of the first reporting period ending after
December 15, 2003. The provisions of FIN No. 46R are applicable to all other
types of entities for reporting periods ending after March 15, 2004. The
adoption of FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46R did not have any impact on the Company's
2003 consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not have any SPE's.
The Company is in the process of assessing the applicability of all other types
of entities but does not expect that the adoption of the other provisions that
are applicable in 2004 will have an impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

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 and final statement
in 2004. The Company will continue to monitor communications on this subject
from the FASB in order to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


              The Board of Directors and Shareholders
              Del Laboratories, Inc.:


              We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
              Del Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
              December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated
              statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
              each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
              2003. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
              statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule
              as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial
              statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility
              of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
              opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial
              statement schedule based on our audits.

              We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
              generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
              standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
              reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
              free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
              test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
              financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
              accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
              management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
              presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
              basis for our opinion.

              In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
              above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
              position of Del Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries at December
              31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their
              cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
              December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles
              generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our
              opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered
              in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
              as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
              information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


              (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                  ------------------------------------------

              DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
              -----------------------

              Del Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) is a
              manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic and proprietary
              pharmaceutical products. The principal products in the cosmetics
              segment are nail care, nail color, color cosmetics, beauty
              implements, bleaches and depilatories, personal care products and
              other related cosmetic items. The principal products in the
              pharmaceutical segment are of a proprietary nature and range from
              oral analgesics to acne treatment products and first aid products.

              PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
              ---------------------------

              The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
              accounts of all wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
              The net assets and results of foreign operations are not
              significant to the consolidated financial statements. The accounts
              of foreign subsidiaries are translated in accordance with the
              provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
              No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." As such, balance sheet
              accounts are translated at the exchange rate as of December 31 of
              each year and statement of earnings accounts are translated at
              average exchange rates during the period. The resulting
              translation adjustments are recorded as a component of
              shareholders' equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign
              currency transactions are included in other income (expense). All
              intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
              consolidation.

              REVENUE RECOGNITION
              -------------------

              The Company sells its products to chain drug stores, mass volume
              retailers, supermarkets and wholesalers and overseas distributors.
              Sales of such products are principally 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
              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.

              that sales incentives offered voluntarily by a vendor, without
              charge, to customers that can be used in, or that are exercisable
              by a customer as a result of, a single exchange transaction be
              recorded as a reduction from revenue. Previously, these items were
              included in selling and administrative expenses. In addition,
              EITF Issue No. 01-9 requires that unless specific criteria are
              met, consideration from a vendor to a retailer be recorded as a
              reduction from revenue, as opposed to a selling expense. In
              accordance with EITF Issue No. 01-9, costs of $39,612,565,
              $35,320,217 and $28,052,879 were recorded as a reduction of net
              sales for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
              respectively. In 2001, these costs were included in selling and
              administrative expenses and have been reclassified to conform with
              this presentation.

              CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
              -------------------------

              The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with
              original maturities of three months or less to be cash
              equivalents. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, cash equivalents were
              $5,344 and $76,306, respectively.

              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 components of inventories were
              as follows:
                                            2003                  2002

              PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
              -----------------------------

              The Company provides for depreciation on the straight-line method
              over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold
              improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
              lesser of the estimated useful lives or the lease term. The range
              of estimated lives applicable to the assets are as follows:

               Building, building improvements
                  and leasehold improvements                    10 to 50 years
               Machinery and equipment                           3 to 15 years
               Furniture and fixtures                            3 to 10 years

              The Company constructs and purchases display fixtures to be used
              in the stores of its cosmetic segment retail customers to attract
              customer attention and to display products available under the
              Company's various brands. The display is included in inventory by
              the Company until it is shipped to the retail customer, at which
              time it is reclassified from inventory to other assets and
              amortized as a selling expense over the estimated useful life of
              twenty four months from date of shipment.

              ADVERTISING COSTS AND PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES
              --------------------------------------------

              The Company advertises on television, radio and in magazines.
              Additionally, the Company has various co-operative advertising
              programs with retailers. Advertising costs are expensed in the
              year incurred. Advertising expenses, including co-operative
              advertising programs, were $37,659,329, $30,756,104 and
              $30,455,913 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company also
              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 co-operative
              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 the Company's
              expectations.

              RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
              ------------------------

              The Company expended $7,815,687, $6,391,161 and $5,413,716 in
              2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for research and development
              relating to the development of new products, clinical and
              regulatory affairs, and quality control & assurance of the
              Company's product lines. All costs associated with research and
              development are expensed as incurred and included in selling and
              administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated
              statements of earnings.

              INCOME TAXES
              ------------

              Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
              method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
              future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
              financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
              liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and
              tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
              measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
              income in the years in which those temporary differences are
              expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
              assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
              income in the period that includes the enactment date.

              EARNINGS PER SHARE
              ------------------

              Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available
              to common shareholders (which for the Company equals its 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.

              STOCK DIVIDENDS
              ---------------

              On November 20, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
              5% stock dividend. As a result, 462,998 shares of treasury stock
              were issued on December 29, 2003 to shareholders of record on
              December 1, 2003. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts
              have been adjusted to reflect the 5% stock dividend distributed
              December 29, 2003.

              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. On November 20, 2001, the Company's Board of
              Directors approved a 5% stock dividend. As a result, 404,510
              shares of treasury stock were issued on December 28, 2001 to
              shareholders of record on December 1, 2001.

              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:

              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 2003, 2002 and 2001,
              respectively: dividend yields 0%, 0%, and 0%; expected lives of
              5.0, 5.9, and 6.2 years; risk-free interest rates of 2.51%, 4.39%,
              and 4.92%; and expected volatility of 33.2%, 39.1%, and 48.8%. The
              weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2003, 2002
              and 2001 were $7.65, $9.90, and $6.59, 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 and final
              statement in 2004. The Company will continue to monitor
              communications on this subject from the FASB in order to determine
              the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


              IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE
              -----------------------------------------------------------
              DISPOSED OF
              -----------

              The Company accounts for long-lived assets, other than goodwill,
              in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
              the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial
              accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
              long-lived assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for
              impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
              that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable.
              The Company bases its evaluation on such impairment indicators
              such as the nature of the assets, future economic benefit of the
              assets and any historical or future profitability measurements, as
              well as other external market conditions or factors that may be
              present. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
              by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net
              cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. 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 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.

              GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
              ------------------------------------

              The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in
              accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
              Other Intangible Assets," which requires that the amortization of
              goodwill be replaced with periodic tests of the goodwill's
              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 annual testing
              performed as of January 1, 2003, indicated there was no impairment
              to goodwill.

              Additionally under SFAS No. 142, intangible assets with
              determinable lives, other than goodwill, must be amortized over
              their useful lives. The remaining useful lives of intangible
              assets are evaluated each reporting period to determine whether
              events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period
              of amortization. If the estimate of an intangible asset's
              remaining useful life is changed, the carrying amount of the
              intangible asset should be amortized prospectively over that
              revised remaining useful life.

              USE OF ESTIMATES
              ----------------

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
              America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
              affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
              disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
              financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
              expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
              from those estimates.

              RECLASSIFICATIONS
              -----------------

              Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts in order
              to conform to the current year's presentation. Amortization of
              display fixtures, previously included in the cash flow statements
              in other assets as net cash provided by operating activities, has
              been reclassified as a separate line item, amortization of display
              fixtures, in net cash provided by operating activities.

              NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
              -----------------------------

              In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46
              "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN No. 46"). FIN
              No. 46 was subject to significant interpretation by the FASB, and
              was revised and reissued in December 2003 ("FIN No. 46R"). FIN No.
              46R states that if an entity has a controlling financial interest
              in a variable interest entity, the assets, the liabilities and
              results of activities of the variable interest entity should be
              included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity.
              The provisions of FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46R are applicable for
              all entities that are considered special purpose entities ("SPE")
              by the end of the first reporting period ending after December 15,
              2003. The provisions of FIN No. 46R are applicable to all other
              types of entities for reporting periods ending after March 15,
              2004. The adoption of FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46R did not have any
              impact on the Company's 2003 consolidated financial statements, as
              the Company does not have any SPE's. The Company is in the process
              of assessing the applicability of all other types of entities but
              does not expect that the adoption of the other provisions that are
              applicable in 2004 will have an impact on the Company's
              consolidated financial statements.

(4)      GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES ARISING FROM ACQUISITIONS
         --------------------------------------------------------



              Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase prices paid for
              companies and product lines over amounts assigned to the fair
              value of the net tangible assets as well as purchased intellectual
              property rights and trademarks. Total goodwill is comprised of
              $3,519,638 for the cosmetic operating segment and $2,762,139
              relates to the pharmaceutical operating segment. Based upon the
              Company's annual impairment test, goodwill of $6,281,777 is not
              impaired under the provisions of SFAS No. 142.

              The components of intangible assets arising from acquisitions were
              as follows:

</TABLE>

              In 1998, the Company acquired the intellectual property rights of
              the CornSilk brand of facial make-up for $11,039,474. In September
              1999, the Company entered into an agreement with the former owner
              of CornSilk related to this acquisition. Under the provisions of
              this agreement, adjustments to the original purchase price were
              negotiated. As a result, the intangible assets arising from the
              acquisition were reduced by approximately $481,901. The
              intellectual property rights are being amortized over 20 years.
              Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the remaining useful lives were
              still deemed appropriate.

              The remaining trademarks and other at December 31, 2003 are the
              Quencher trademarks acquired in 1984, the Healing Beauty trademark
              acquired in 2003, and the Miss Kiss domain name acquired in 2003
              which are being amortized over 20 years.

              Amortization expense amounted to $678,630, $677,877 and $880,844
              for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The estimated amortization
              expense for the years ending December 31, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
              and 2008 is $680,879, $530,879, $530,879, $530,879 and $530,879,
              respectively.

              At December 31, 2003 and 2002, deferred tax assets of $1,901,000
              and $1,619,000, respectively, were recorded on the consolidated
              balance sheet relating to the additional minimum pension liability
              (note 7(a)). Such liability, net of the related deferred tax
              asset, was recorded as a component of accumulated other
              comprehensive loss, in accordance with SFAS No. 87, "Employers'
              Accounting for Pensions" and SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
              Comprehensive Income."

              A valuation allowance is recorded when management determines that
              it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
              deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers
              the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected
              future taxable income, and tax planning strategies, among other
              factors, in making this assessment. There was no valuation
              allowance as of December 31, 2003 or 2002 as the Company believes
              it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will
              be realized.

              On March 26, 2002, the senior notes were amended and restated. The
              senior note holder executed a Release and Termination Agreement of
              the collateral liens granted in the previous amendment. The senior
              notes of which $24,000,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2003,
              require annual principal repayments of $8,000,000 on May 31, 2004
              and $16,000,000 on May 31, 2005. The amended agreement is
              unsecured and includes covenants, which provide among other things
              for the maintenance of financial ratios relating to consolidated
              net worth, restrictions on cash dividends, the purchase of
              treasury stock and certain other expenditures. On March 12, 2004,
              the Company obtained a commitment from the lender under the senior
              notes to extend the maturity of the notes, revise the principal
              payment schedule to have principal payments of $6.0 million begin
              in April, 2008 and continue annually in April of each year through
              April, 2011, reduce the interest rate and reduce or eliminate
              certain restrictive covenants. It is expected that the revised
              agreement will be executed before April 15, 2004.

              On March 26, 2002, the Company amended and restated the revolving
              credit agreement entered into in December 1998 and amended on
              February 25, 2000. The amendment provides credit of $45,000,000 of
              which $34,000,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2003, and
              extends the expiration to March 26, 2005. Under the terms of the
              agreement, interest rates on borrowings are based on, at the
              Company's option, LIBOR or prime rates. The weighted-average
              interest rates for 2003 and 2002 were 3.1% and 4.1%, respectively.
              The terms of the agreement include a commitment fee based on
              unutilized amounts and an annual agency fee. The deferred
              financing fees associated with the March 26, 2002 amendment and
              the unamortized deferred financing fees related to the February
              25, 2000 agreement are being amortized over the term of the new
              agreement. Covenants provide, among other things, for the
              maintenance of financial ratios relating to consolidated net
              worth, restrictions on cash dividends, the purchase of treasury
              stock and certain other expenditures. The agreement is unsecured
              and no compensating balances are required. The lenders executed a
              Release and Termination Agreement of the collateral liens granted
              in the previous amended February 25, 2000 revolving credit
              agreement.

              On March 21, 2003, the Company refinanced the mortgage on its
              property in North Carolina with a seven-year $12,480,000
              combination mortgage and construction loan facility. Of this
              facility, $12,480,000 was drawn through December 31, 2003, of
              which $3,863,190 was used to pay the outstanding balance on the
              existing mortgage and $8,616,810 was used for funding of
              construction costs in connection with the expansion in North
              Carolina. The mortgage and construction loan facility provided
              construction funding as funds were expended during the facility
              expansion project. The mortgage includes an interest rate based on
              LIBOR plus 1.75%, which totaled 2.87% as of December 31, 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.

              loan and a five-year mortgage. The outstanding balance of this
              mortgage at December 31, 2003 is $1,213,722.

              The Company also leases certain equipment under long-term capital
              leases, some of which include options to purchase the equipment
              for a nominal cost at the termination of the lease.

              The aggregate maturities of long-term debt and minimum payments
              under capital lease obligations for each of the five years
              subsequent to December 31, 2003 and thereafter, are as follows:

                  -------------------------

                  (a)  PENSION PLANS
                       -------------
              The Company maintains two non-contributory defined benefit pension
              plans covering all U.S. eligible employees. The Del Non-Union Plan
              formula is based on years of service and the employee's
              compensation during the five years before retirement. The Del
              LaCross Union Plan formula is based on years of service. The
              LaCross Plan covers former employees of the Company's Newark, New
              Jersey facility which ceased operations during 2002. As a result
              of this closure, more than 20% of plan participants in the LaCross
              Plan were terminated, which resulted in a partial termination of
              the plan. Due to the partial termination of the plan, all affected
              participants became fully vested in their accrued benefits at
              their termination date. The Company made contributions to these
              plans of $2,742,770, $5,217,735 and $2,042,391 in 2003, 2002 and
              2001, respectively. Assets held by these plans consist of cash and
              cash equivalents, fixed income securities consisting of U.S.
              government and corporate bonds and common stocks. The Company also
              has a defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plan
              (SERP) for certain of its executives. The SERP is a non-qualified
              plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The assets in the SERP
              trust, which were $4,152,063 and $4,133,583 as of December 31,
              2003 and 2002, respectively, are considered assets of the Company,
              not plan assets, and as such, are included in other assets on the
              accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The assets of the SERP,
              which consist of cash and cash equivalents, are held-to-maturity
              securities and, as such, are carried at cost plus accrued
              interest. The Company made no contributions during 2003 and 2002
              to the SERP trust. A contribution of $1,450,000 was made in 2001.

    The expected long-term return on assets was developed using the Building
    Block Method covered under the Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27. Under
    this approach, the weighted average return is developed based on applying
    historical average total returns by asset class to the plan's current asset
    allocation. The calculation of the weighted average expected long-term rate
    of return uses the 50-year historical market performance over the period
    from 1953 - 2002. The 50-year period was selected as a reasonable estimate
    of the runout period of expected future benefit payments.

              PLAN ASSETS
              -----------

              The Company's Investment Committee has adopted an investment
              policy designed to meet or exceed the assumption for the expected
              rate of return on plan assets of the Employees' Pension Plan. The
              Company retains an investment advisor to assist the Company in
              selecting and evaluating the performance of professional
              investment managers that invest the plan assets in equity and
              fixed income securities. The investments are generally
              well-diversified to avoid undue exposure to any single economic or
              industry sector, or individual security. The Company has advised
              the investment managers that investment of plan assets in
              derivatives or in the common stock of Del Laboratories, Inc. is
              prohibited. All assets have a readily ascertainable market value
              and are readily marketable. Equity investments are listed on the
              New York, American or principal regional exchanges or traded on
              the over-the-counter market with the requirement that such
              investments have adequate market liquidity.

              The Company has established target ranges for the investment of
              the Employees' Pension Plan assets of 55% for equities and 45% for
              fixed income securities. Within the equity securities asset class,
              the investment policy provides for investments in a wide range of
              publicly-traded securities encompassing large, mid-size, and small
              capitalization stocks. The mix of equity securities allocates
              approximately 70% to value style investing and approximately 30%
              to growth style investing. Within the fixed income portfolio, the
              investment policy provides for investments in a wide range of
              publicly-traded debt securities consisting of investment grade,
              liquid securities such as certificates of deposit, commercial
              paper, U.S. Treasury bills and other Treasury obligations,
              government agency paper, and high quality, short-term corporate
              securities that do not exceed a two-year maturity.

              The Company temporarily established a policy of investing 100% of
              the assets of the LaCross pension plan in fixed income securities.
              This policy was developed since no new participants would be
              joining the plan and all existing plan participants are former
              employees of the Newark, New Jersey manufacturing facility, which
              was closed in 2002. The Company is in the process of re-defining
              the long-term investment strategy for the plan assets in order to
              develop returns consistent with future benefit obligations.

              The Company's pension plan weighted-average asset allocations were
              approximately as follows:

                                                      2003

              The forementioned equity securities for 2003 and 2002, do not
              include any Del Laboratories, Inc. stock.


              CASH FLOW
              ---------

              The Company expects to contribute approximately $5,215,000 and
              $808,000, to its Non-Union Plan and SERP respectively, in 2004. It
              is anticipated that no contribution will be made to the LaCross
              Plan.

              Minimum pension liabilities for the underfunded Del Non-Union Plan
              and SERP are included in the long-term pension liability on the
              accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The minimum pension
              liability of $5,756,155 and $5,476,656 at December 31, 2003 and
              December 31, 2002, respectively, has been recorded with a
              corresponding amount of an intangible asset of $790,782 and
              $1,201,692 and accumulated other comprehensive losses of
              $4,965,373 and $4,274,964 at December 31, 2003 and December 31,
              2002, respectively. The accumulated other comprehensive losses are
              net of deferred income taxes of $1,901,000 and $1,619,006 at
              December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The minimum pension
              liability will change from year to year as a result of revisions
              to actuarial assumptions and experienced gains or losses.

              The Company contributes to a multi-employer pension plan for the
              benefit of its union employees. This plan is a defined benefit
              plan based on years of service and the costs recognized for 2003,
              2002 and 2001 were approximately $371,000, $447,000 and $439,000,
              respectively.

              The Company maintains a defined contribution plan for the benefit
              of its Canadian employees. The costs recognized for 2003, 2002 and
              2001 were approximately $84,000, $57,000 and $59,000 in U.S.
              dollars, respectively.

              (b) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
                  -----------------------------

              The Company has an employee stock ownership plan and related
              trust, covering substantially all full-time non-union employees.
              Under the terms of the plan, the Company may make contributions to
              the trust in cash, shares of Company stock or other property in
              amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board
              of Directors authorized contributions of $300,000 for 2003, 2002
              and 2001, respectively. On November 20, 2003, the Company funded
              its fiscal 2003 contribution of $300,000 to the Employee Stock
              Ownership Trust with 12,991 treasury shares (as restated for 5%
              stock dividend). As a result, an increase of $72,252 was recorded
              to additional paid-in capital representing the cost of treasury
              shares which were less than the market price on that date. On
              October 7, 2002, the Company funded its fiscal 2002 contribution
              of $300,000 to the Employee Stock Ownership Trust with 18,793
              treasury shares (as restated for 5% stock dividend). As a result,
              an increase of $34,764 was recorded to additional paid-in capital
              representing the cost of treasury shares which were less than the
              market price on that date. On October 4, 2001, the Company funded
              its fiscal 2001 contribution of $300,000 to the Employee Stock
              Ownership Trust with 23,545 treasury shares (as restated for 5%
              stock dividend). As a result, an increase of $35,186 was recorded
              to additional paid-in capital representing the cost of treasury
              shares which were less than the market price on that date. At
              December 31, 2003, the trust held 541,534 shares of the Company's
              common stock.

              (c) EMPLOYEE 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
                  ----------------------------

              The Company maintains an Employee 401(k) Savings Plan. The plan is
              a defined contribution plan which is administered by the Company.
              All regular, full-time employees are eligible for voluntary
              participation on the first day of the month following the date of
              hire and having attained the age of twenty-one. The plan provides
              for growth in savings through contributions and income from
              investments. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee
              Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Plan
              participants are allowed to contribute a specified percentage of
              their base salary. The Company retains the right to make optional
              contributions for any plan year. Optional contributions were not
              made by the Company in 2003, 2002 and 2001.


              (8) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
                  --------------------
              (a) STOCK OPTION PLANS
                  ------------------

              The 1994 Stock Plan, as amended (the 1994 Plan) provides for the
              granting of incentive and non-incentive options and other
              stock-based awards. A total of 4,147,535 shares have been
              authorized for issuance under the 1994 Plan. At December 31, 2003,
              non-incentive options have been the only awards issued under the
              1994 Plan. The exercise price of options granted under the 1994
              Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of the common
              stock at the date of the grant. The Compensation Committee of the
              Board of Directors (the Committee) determines the persons to whom
              options will be granted, the prices at which options may be
              exercised, the vesting period and whether the options will be
              incentive or non-incentive. Incentive options, if granted, are
              exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of the
              grant. The exercise price of the shares to be purchased shall be
              paid either in cash, delivery (i.e., surrender) of shares of
              common stock owned by the optionee at the time of exercise of the
              option, in installments payable in cash if permitted by the
              Committee or in any combination of the foregoing.

              Shares received by an optionee upon exercise of a non-incentive
              option may not be sold or otherwise disposed of for a period
              (restricted period) determined by the Committee upon grant of the
              option, which, if the Committee elects to have a restricted
              period, shall be not less than six months or more than three years
              from the date of the exercise, during which period the Company is
              entitled, in the event the employment of the optionee with the
              Company terminates, to repurchase the shares at the exercise
              price. Following the restricted period, the Company shall have a
              right of first refusal to purchase the shares at fair market
              value. Shares issuable upon exercise of options granted to date
              under the 1994 Plan are subject to a six-month restricted period.
              At December 31, 2003, 1,392,705 of the 2,323,557 options
              outstanding were exercisable under the 1994 Plan, at a
              weighted-average exercise price of $14.74.

              The 1984 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the 1984 Plan), provided
              for the granting of incentive and non-incentive options to
              purchase shares of the Company's common stock at prices which are
              not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the
              dates of grant. Options are exercisable as determined by the
              Committee for a period up to ten years and one day from the date
              of grant. Incentive options granted to a 10% stockholder must be
              granted at 110% of fair market value and may be exercised up to
              five years from the date of grant. Payment of the exercise price
              of options may be made in the same manner as provided by the 1994
              Plan, and shares issued upon exercise are subject to a restricted
              period similar to that provided under the 1994 Plan. At December
              31, 2001, all options outstanding under the 1984 Plan were
              exercised at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.46. No
              further options will be granted or are outstanding under the 1984
              Plan.

              Limited stock appreciation rights also may be granted under the
              1994 Plan, which will be effective only upon a change in control
              of the Company (as defined). To date, no such appreciation rights
              were granted. These plans also accelerate the exercisability of
              all unexercised options or stock appreciation rights immediately
              in the event of a change in control of the Company.

              In 2003, the Company acquired 321,261 shares (adjusted for the 5%
              stock dividend) of its common stock from optionees in connection
              with stock option exercises for $7,137,203. The market value on
              the date of exercise of shares previously owned for more than six
              months used by optionees to pay for the exercise price was
              $5,721,865. Additionally, the market value of shares acquired from
              optionees to pay for income tax liabilities remitted to taxing
              authorities by the Company, amounted to $1,415,338. The market
              value of these acquisitions totaling $7,137,203 is reflected in
              the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.

        (b)   RECEIVABLES FOR STOCK OPTIONS EXERCISED
              ---------------------------------------


        In 1984, the Company loaned an officer $367,000 in connection with the
        payment of taxes arising from the exercise of stock options (the 1984
        Loan). The Company also loaned the officer $1,065,313 in 1988 (the 1988
        Loan) and $1,100,000 in 1990 (the 1990 Loan), each in connection with
        the exercise of stock options and the tax liability arising therefrom.
        These loans were payable in annual installments. In addition, the 1988
        Loan and the 1990 Loan agreements provided that if the officer was
        employed by the Company at the time any interest or debt payments were
        due, such payment would be forgiven.


        Pursuant to an amendment to this officer's employment agreement, the
        1984 Loan, the 1988 Loan and the 1990 Loan were consolidated, effective
        as of July 1, 1999, with the aggregate principal balance to be repaid,
        with interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum, in annual amounts of
        $140,000 for each year during the period from 2000 through 2007 and a
        final payment of $82,250 on January 20, 2008, provided that each payment
        of interest and principal will be forgiven when due so long as the
        officer is then employed by, or then serves as a consultant to the
        Company and, provided further, that the Company may (but is not required
        to) forgive, during any year until 2007, in excess of $140,000 of
        principal. Whenever the Company forgives any principal or interest owed
        by the officer to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay to the
        officer such additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such
        that, after payment by the officer of all Federal, state and local taxes
        and excise taxes if any, including any such taxes imposed on the
        Gross-Up Payment, the officer retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment
        equal to such taxes imposed on the principal and interest forgiven. This
        loan, which is a full recourse loan, must be secured by collateral with
        a fair value of 110% of the unpaid principal. The loan balance at
        December 31, 2003 was $642,250 and was collateralized by 168,961 shares
        of the Company's common stock.

        The balance of the loan made to the officer is reflected as a reduction
        of shareholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated financial
        statements.

              (10)   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 $1,850,098 ($1,142,417 after-tax, or $0.12
              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. During the second half of 2003,
              charges of $183,283 ($113,175 after-tax, or $0.01 per basic share)
              were recorded for such earned severance benefits, net of
              adjustments of $58,862 to the initial accrual. Through December
              31, 2003, $127,207 of relocation and other move related costs were
              expensed as incurred. The Company estimates that a total of
              approximately $92,000 (Cosmetic segment - $60,000; Pharmaceutical
              segment - $32,000), will be incurred for additional severance,
              relocation and other move related costs during the first six
              months of 2004. As of December 31, 2003, 186 union and non-union
              employees have been terminated and $318,894 in severance benefits
              were paid.

              (12)   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
                     -----------------------------

              The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions
              arising in the ordinary course of business, including
              environmental matters. The final resolution of these matters on
              the Company's results of operations or liquidity in a particular
              reporting period is not known. Management is of the opinion that
              the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material
              adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.

              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 $550,000 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 $785,000 in selling and administrative expenses. The
              charge of $785,000 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 $1,332,000 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
              $18,000 for the eventual settlement of the Company's potential
              liability for natural resource damages ("NRD") claims, which were
              also expected to be settled in the Consent Decree. During the
              second quarter of 2003, the United States, the State of New York
              and the Federal District court approved the aforementioned Consent
              Decree.

              The Company leases executive office space, furniture, data
              processing equipment, transportation equipment and warehouse space
              under terms of leases expiring through 2015. Rent expense under
              these operating leases aggregated approximately $5,525,398,
              $5,157,622 and $4,829,659 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
              The Company's obligations under non-cancelable leases are
              summarized as follows:

              Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at
              December 31, 2003, is a deferred liability which represents
              deferred rent expense, as well as a payment received by the
              Company from a lessor at the lease inception, which will be
              recorded as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the
              lease. This liability resulted when the Company entered into a
              lease agreement for approximately 41,000 square feet of leased
              space in Uniondale, New York.




              (13)     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
                       ---------------------

              The carrying value of all financial instruments classified as a
              current asset or current liability are deemed to approximate fair
              value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

              The carrying value of the Company's borrowings under the long-term
              revolving credit agreement approximates fair value as such
              borrowings bear variable interest rates which fluctuate with
              market conditions.

              The fair value of the senior notes exceeds the carrying value at
              December 31, 2003 by approximately $1,370,000. The fair value of
              the senior notes is based upon discounted cash flows using rates
              available to the Company for debt with similar terms and
              maturities. The Company continually evaluates the benefits of
              refinancing versus the related prepayment penalties. Because
              considerable judgement is required in interpreting market data to
              develop estimates of fair value, the estimates are not necessarily
              indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid
              in a current market exchange. The effect of using different market
              assumptions or estimation methodologies may be material to the
              estimated fair value amount.



              (14)     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 $3,335,000 which was reduced by $159,710 for closing
              costs. In addition, $235,000 of the sales price was paid by the
              purchaser on February 12, 2003. The land was included in property,
              plant and equipment at December 31, 2001, with a book value of
              $500,000. After transaction related costs of $406,575, the sale
              resulted in a gain of $2,428,425 ($1,532,337 after-tax, or $0.16
              per basic share). 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 $5,000,000 and cannot be exercised before
              December 1, 2004 or after December 1, 2005.

              Earnings per share calculations for each of the quarters are based
              on weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each period.
              Therefore, the sum of the quarters in a year does not necessarily
              equal the year's earnings per share.
