               ANTHONY & SYLVAN POOLS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)        BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                Anthony & Sylvan Pools Corporation and Subsidiaries (the
           "Company") is among the largest residential in-ground concrete pool
           sales and installation businesses in the United States and operates
           in one business segment.

(2)        INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
           September 30, 2001 and statements of income and cash flows for the
           three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000
           are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited
           condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
           same basis as the audited financial statements for the year ended
           December 31, 2000 and include all adjustments, consisting of only
           normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation
           of the interim period. The disclosures in the notes related to these
           interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are
           also unaudited. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
           income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
           2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
           the full year. Financial statements should be read in conjunction
           with the audited financial statements included in the annual report
           on Form 10-K.

(3)        EARNINGS PER SHARE

                Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
           the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
           earnings per share are based on the combined weighted average number
           of common shares outstanding including the assumed exercise or
           conversion of options. The treasury stock method is used in computing
           diluted earnings per share. The calculations are as follows (in
           thousands except per share data):

(4)          STOCK DIVIDENDS

                On May 4, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized a 10% stock
             dividend to be distributed on or about May 30, 2001 to shareholders
             of record on May 16, 2001. The unaudited condensed consolidated
             financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect
             the number of shares outstanding following the dividend.

                On October 25, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized a 10%
             stock dividend to be distributed on or about November 30, 2001 to
             shareholders of record on November 16, 2001. The consolidated
             financial statements have not been retroactively restated to
             reflect the number of shares outstanding following this dividend.

(5)          DEBT

                On August 10, 1999, the Company entered into a $35 million
             revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") with a group of
             banks. The Credit Facility, secured by the assets of the Company,
             matures August 10, 2002 and may be extended in one-year increments
             with the approval of the bank group. The Company's borrowing
             capacity and interest rates under the Credit Facility are based on
             its profitability and leverage. Interest is charged at increments
             over either Prime or Libor rates. In addition a 37.5 basis points
             commitment fee is payable on the total amount of the unused
             commitment. As of September 30, 2001, there were no outstanding
             borrowings under the Credit Facility and the available borrowings
             were $14.5 million. The Company is in compliance with all of its
             debt covenants under the Credit Facility.

(6)          AMENDMENT TO THE LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES AND
             DIRECTORS

                The Company amended its Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
             effective April 1, 2001 to eliminate features that required
             variable accounting treatment. As a result of the amendment, the
             Company no longer accounts for any portion of the Plan as a
             variable plan.

(7)          LITIGATION

                Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary
             course of business have been filed or are pending against the
             Company. In the opinion of management, the results of all such
             matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
             financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

(8)          RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

                Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting
             for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishes
             accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
             including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
             contracts and for hedging activities. The Company adopted the
             statement effective January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133
             did not have a significant impact on the financial position or
             results of operations of the Company because the Company does not
             have derivative instruments.

                In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, Goodwill and
             Other Intangible Assets, which will require that goodwill and
             intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
             amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in
             accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 142. The Company is
             required to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 142 effective
             January 1, 2002.

                At September 30, 2001, the Company has unamortized goodwill in
             the amount of $26,461,000, which will be subject to the transition
             provisions of Statement No. 142. Amortization expense related to
             goodwill was $552,000 and $549,000 for the nine-month periods ended
             September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Because of the extensive
             effort needed to comply with adopting statement No. 142, it is not
             practicable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this
             statement on the Company's financial statements at the date of this
             report, including whether it will be required to recognize any
             transitional impairment losses as the cumulative effect of a change
             in accounting principle.

                In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting
             for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement, which
             supersedes Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
             Long-Lived assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, provides
             a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of.
             Although retaining many of the fundamental recognition and
             measurement provisions of Statement No. 121, the Statement
             significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to
             classify an asset as held-for-sale. This distinction is important
             because assets held-for-sale are stated at lower of their fair
             values or carrying amounts and depreciation is no longer
             recognized. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
             financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
             December 15, 2001. The Company has not yet determined the impact
             that Statement No. 144 will have on its consolidated financial
             position, results of operations or cash flows.

   INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

   To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
   Anthony & Sylvan Pools Corporation and subsidiaries:


   We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
   Anthony & Sylvan Pools Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of
   September 30, 2001, and the related condensed consolidated statements of
   operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
   September 30, 2001. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the
   responsibility of the Company's management.

   We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
   American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
   financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
   to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
   and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
   conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
   objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
   statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

   Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
   should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
   statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting
   principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

   The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, were audited
   by other accountants and they expressed an unqualified opinion on them in
   their report dated March 28, 2001, but they have not performed any auditing
   procedures since that date.

 ITEM 2.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS


               THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH
                      THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

Revenue of $57.1 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2001 decreased
9.6% from $63.2 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease was
attributable to a decline in unit production as a result of weaker demand
patterns and consumer confidence levels partially offset by increases in average
selling prices compared with a year earlier.

Gross profit decreased $2.3 million to $15.9 million in 2001 from $18.2 million
in 2000, partly as a result of the decrease in net sales. Gross profit, as a
percentage of sales for the three months, decreased from 28.7% of net sales to
27.8% as a result of spreading higher fixed construction expenses over a lower
revenue base.

Operating expenses, consisting of selling and administrative expenses, decreased
slightly from $13.4 million in 2000 to $13.2 million in 2001. As a percentage of
sales, operating expenses were higher at 23.1% in 2001 compared with 21.1% in
2000 as a result of the lower revenues.

The effective tax rate increased from 34.1% in 2000 to 37.3% in 2001 as a result
of the impact of non-cash deferred compensation, which is not included for tax
purposes, and higher effective state income taxes.

As a result of the above items, net income for the three-month period decreased
from $3.2 million in 2000 to $1.7 million in 2001. Net income per diluted share
decreased $0.37 per share to $0.39 in 2001. On a pro-forma basis, excluding the
impact of non-cash deferred compensation, net income and earnings per share for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 are the same as the reported
income and earnings per share, with net income decreasing 46.0% over last year's
pro-forma net income of $3.1 million, and diluted earnings per share decreasing
47.3% over pro-forma diluted earnings per share of $0.74 for the same period
last year.

               NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH
                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

Net sales of $151.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001
decreased 5.5% from $160.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2000. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in unit production partially
offset by increases in average selling prices.

Gross profit decreased $2.6 million to $42.5 million in 2001 from $45.1 million
in 2000 as a result of the decrease in net sales. Gross profit as a percentage
of sales for both periods was 28.0%.

Operating expenses, consisting of selling and administrative expenses increased
$0.4 million to $38.4 million in 2001 from $38.0 million in 2000. As a
percentage of sales, operating expenses increased from 23.6% in 2000 to 25.3% in
2001. The percentage of sales increase was attributable to a combination of the
reduction in sales and higher administrative expenses related to the costs
associated with improvements that have been made in the Company's

                                       10

infrastructure and operating methods. Operating expenses in 2000 include $0.6
million of non-cash deferred compensation expense related to the Company's
long-term incentive plan compared with a credit of $0.6 million in 2001.

The effective tax rate decreased from 38.9% in 2000 to 31.6% in 2001, primarily
as a result of the decrease in non-cash deferred compensation related to the
Company's long-term incentive plan. This item is not included for tax purposes.

As a result of the above net income for the nine-month period decreased $1.6
million to $2.7 million in 2001. Net income per diluted share, decreased $0.41
per share to $0.62. On a pro-forma basis, excluding the impact of non-cash
deferred compensation, pro-forma net income of $2.1 million, or $0.49 per share
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compares with pro-forma net income
of $4.9 million, or $1.18 per share, for the same period last year.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operating activities was $12.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 compared with $14.4 million in 2000. The decrease was
primarily attributable to lower net income. Cash used in investing activities
increased from $2.0 million in the prior year to $2.4 million in the current
year primarily as a result of the Company's investment in computers and related
software.

The excess of cash from operating activities over cash used in investing
activities of $10.3 million was used to acquire $2.3 million of treasury shares
under the Company's share buyback program, repay long-term debt of $1.3 million
and increase cash balances.

On August 10, 1999, the Company entered into a $35 million revolving credit
facility ("Credit Facility") with a group of banks. The Credit Facility, secured
by the assets of the Company, matures August 10, 2002 and may be extended in
one-year increments with the approval of the bank group. The Company's borrowing
capacity and interest rates under the Credit Facility are based on its
profitability and leverage. Interest is charged at increments over either Prime
or Libor rates. In addition, a 37.5 basis points commitment fee is payable on
the total amount of the unused commitment. As of September 30, 2001, there were
no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and the available borrowings
were $14.5 million. The Company is in compliance with all of its debt covenants
under the Credit Facility.

The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, internally
generated funds and funds available under its line of credit will be sufficient
to meet its needs.

            QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in pricing of
equipment, materials and contract labor, and interest rates. Market risk is the
potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as
commodity prices and interest rates. The Company does not enter into financial
instruments to manage and reduce the impact of some of these risks. Further, the
Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes.

                                      11

The Company is exposed to cash flow risk arising out of changes in interest
rates with respect to its long-term debt. Information with respect to the
Company's principal cash flows and interest rate calculations on long-term debt
at September 30, 2001 is included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

The Company's financial results have been impacted by fluctuations in its stock
price, as a portion of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan was treated as a
variable versus a fixed stock option award plan. The plan was amended in April
2001, resulting in the Company no longer accounting for any portion of the plan
as a variable plan.

                           CYCLICALITY AND SEASONALITY

The Company believes that the swimming pool leisure industry is strongly
influenced by general economic conditions and consumer spending and as such
tends to experience periods of decline during economic downturns. Since the
majority of the Company's swimming pool installation purchases are financed,
pool sales are particularly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations and the
availability of credit. A sustained period of high interest rates could result
in declining sales, which could have a material adverse effect on The Company's
financial condition and results of operations.

Historically, approximately 70% of the Company's revenues have been generated in
the second and third quarters of the year, the peak season for swimming pool
installation and use. Conversely, the Company typically incurs net losses during
the first and fourth quarters of the year. Unseasonably cold weather or
extraordinary amounts of rainfall during the peak sales season can significantly
reduce pool purchases. In addition, unseasonably early or late warming trends
can increase or decrease the length of the swimming pool season, significantly
affecting sales and operating profit.

                    RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, which will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least
annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 142. The Company is
required to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 142 effective January 1, 2002.

At September 30, 2001, the Company has unamortized goodwill in the amount of
$26,461,000, which will be subject to the transition provisions of Statement No.
142. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $552,000 and $549,000 for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Because of
the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting statement No. 142, it is not
practicable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this statement on the
Company's financial statements at the date of this report, including whether it
will be required to recognize any transitional impairment losses as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement, which supersedes Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived assets and Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of, provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of. Although retaining many of the fundamental recognition and
measurement provisions of Statement No. 121, the Statement significantly

                                       12
<PAGE>

changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as
held-for-sale. This distinction is important because assets held-for-sale are
stated at lower of their fair values or carrying amounts and depreciation is no
longer recognized. The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Company has not yet determined the impact that Statement No. 144 will have on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
