             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

     1.  Basis of Presentation

          The    accompanying   unaudited   condensed   consolidated
     financial  statements  have  been  prepared  by  Kenneth   Cole
     Productions, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States for  interim
     financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
     the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
     generally  accepted in the United States for complete financial
     statements.    Certain  items  contained  in  these   financial
     statements  are  based on estimates.  In  the  opinion  of  the
     Company's  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
     consolidated  financial  statements  reflect  all   significant
     adjustments,   consisting   of  only   normal   and   recurring
     adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
     position  and  results of operations and  cash  flows  for  the
     periods  presented.  All significant intercompany  transactions
     have been eliminated.

          Operating results for the nine months ended September  30,
     2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may  be
     expected for the year ended December 31, 2003.  These unaudited
     condensed consolidated financial statements should be  read  in
     conjunction   with  the  financial  statements  and   footnotes
     included  in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K  for  the
     year ended December 31, 2002.

          The  consolidated balance sheet at December 31,  2002,  as
     presented, was derived from the audited financial statements as
     of December 31, 2002 included in the Company's Annual Report on
     Form 10-K.

     2.  Stock-Based Compensation

                The  Company measures compensation expense  for  its
     stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method
     prescribed  in  Accounting Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25,
     "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No.  25")  and
     related  Interpretations.  The Company has  adopted  disclosure
     only  provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation"  ("SFAS
     123").

                Pro  forma disclosures, as required by Statement  of
     Financial  Accounting Standard No. 148, "Accounting for  Stock-
     Based  Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", are  computed
     as  if  the Company recorded compensation expense based on  the
     fair value for stock-based awards or grants.  The following pro
     forma information includes the effects of the options discussed
     above.

</TABLE>


     4.  Comprehensive Income

       Comprehensive income is comprised of net income,  the  effect
     of foreign currency translation and changes in unrealized gains
     and   losses  on  forward  exchange  contracts  used  to  hedge
     merchandise  commitments.   Comprehensive  income  amounted  to
     $22,355,000  and $17,667,000 for the nine-month  periods  ended
     September  30,  2003  and  2002,  respectively.   Comprehensive
     income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and
     2002 amounted to $10,405,000 and $6,738,000, respectively.

     5.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

          The  Company,  in the normal course of business,  routinely
     enters into forward exchange contracts in anticipation of future
     purchases  of  inventory denominated in  Euros.   These  forward
     exchange  contracts  are  used to hedge  against  the  Company's
     exposure to changes in the Euro to protect the purchase price of
     merchandise  under such commitments and are  not  held  for  the
     purpose  of  trading or speculation; therefore, the Company  has
     classified these contracts as cash flow hedges.  The Company had
     outstanding   forward  exchange  contracts  of  $10,500,000   at
     September 30, 2003 with maturity dates through January 2004.

     5.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued)

       All  terms  and  conditions of the Company's  foreign  exchange
     contracts  are  included in the measurement of the related  hedge
     effectiveness.   The  critical  terms  of  the  foreign  exchange
     contracts are the same as the underlying forecasted transactions;
     therefore, changes in the fair value of the contracts  should  be
     highly effective in offsetting changes in the expected cash flows
     from the forecasted transactions.  No gains or losses related  to
     ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges were recognized  in  earnings
     during  the  nine months ended September 30, 2003.  At  September
     30,  2003  the Company's notional $10,500,000 in forward exchange
     contracts   resulted  in  an  unrealized  gain  of  approximately
     $392,000,  net  of taxes, which was included as  an  addition  to
     accumulated other comprehensive income in the Company's Condensed
     Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and  an
     increase  to  inventory, the underlying exposure on  the  balance
     sheet.   The  Company expects to reclassify all of  the  ultimate
     unrealized   gain/(loss)  from  accumulated  other  comprehensive
     income into earnings within the next four month period due to the
     actual  executions  of  foreign exchange  contracts  to  purchase
     merchandise.

        6.  Segment Information

       The  Company has three reportable segments: Wholesale, Consumer
     Direct  and  Licensing/International.  The  Company's  reportable
     segments  are  business units that offer different  products  and
     services  or  similar  products  through  different  channels  of
     distribution.   The Wholesale segment is comprised of  designing,
     sourcing  and  marketing a broad range of  quality  footwear  and
     handbags for wholesale distribution.  The Consumer Direct segment
     markets  the  broad selection of the Company's branded  products,
     including  licensee products, for sale directly to  the  consumer
     through  its  own  channels of distribution, which  include  full
     price  retail stores, outlet stores, catalogs and e-commerce  (at
     website         addresses         www.kennethcole.com         and
     www.reactiononline.com).   The  Licensing/International   segment
     primarily  consists  of earning royalties on  licensee  sales  to
     third  parties  of the Company's branded products  and  royalties
     earned  on  the  purchase  and sale to foreign  retailers  or  to
     consumers  in  foreign countries.  The Company maintains  control
     over quality and image and allows licensees to sell primarily  to
     the  same  channels  of distribution as those  of  the  Company's
     Wholesale   segment.   The  Company  evaluates  performance   and
     allocates  resources based on profit or loss from  each  segment.
     The  Wholesale  segment  is evaluated on income  from  operations
     before income taxes.  The Consumer Direct segment is evaluated on
     profit  or  loss  from  operations before  unallocated  corporate
     overhead  and income taxes.  The Licensing/International  segment
     is  evaluated  on  royalties earned and  pretax  segment  profit.
     Intersegment  sales  between the Wholesale  and  Consumer  Direct
     segment include a markup, which is eliminated in consolidation.
     Revenues  from  international customers represent less  than  two
     percent of the Company's consolidated revenues.

7.  Common Stock Repurchase

             The  Board  of  Directors of the Company has  authorized
management  to  repurchase, from time to time,  up  to  an  aggregate
4,250,000  shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.  During  the
nine months ended September 30, 2003, 200,000 shares were repurchased
in  the  open market at an average price per share of $22.63 reducing
the  available  shares authorized for repurchase to  1,361,600.   The
repurchased shares have been recorded as Treasury Stock.

8.  Licensing Agreement

      On  May  1, 2003, the Company entered into an exclusive license
agreement  with Candies, Inc. and its trademark holding  company,  IP
Holdings,  LLC, ("Candies") to use the Bongo trademark in  connection
with  worldwide manufacture, sale and distribution of women's,  men's
and children's footwear.  The Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
Candies  is the brother of the Company's Chief Executive Officer  and
Chairman.  The initial term of the agreement is through December  31,
2007, with options to renew through December 31, 2016 based upon  the
Company reaching certain sales thresholds.  During these periods, the
Company  is obligated to pay Candies a percentage of net sales  based
upon  the terms of the agreement.  The Company recorded approximately
$386,000  and  $436,000 in royalty and advertising expense to Candies
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively.

9.   Asset Impairment Charge and Gain

      On  September 30, 2002, the Company determined that based  upon
the  performance  and anticipated future outlook of  its  Rockefeller
Center  flagship  store, located in New York City and  in  accordance
with  SFAS  144, certain fixed assets were impaired.  As a result,  a
pre-tax  charge of $4.4 million was recorded during the three  months
ended September 30, 2002.  In addition, the Company recognized a gain
as  part of cost of goods sold on the income statement in the  amount
of  $860,000 relating to price adjustments from sales to Kenneth Cole
retail stores from the audit results of its licensees.

10.  Reclassifications

  Certain   amounts   included  in  the  Company's   2002   financial
statements  have  been reclassified to conform to the  September  30,
2003 presentation.

11.  Dividend

 On July 29, 2003, the Board of Directors  of the  Company declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $.075 per share payable September 18, 2003
to shareholders  of record at  the close of  business on Kenneth Cole
August  28,  2003.   Aggregate dividends in the amount of  $1,476,000
were  paid  out, approximately $861,000 and $615,000 to Class  A  and
Class B shareholders, respectively.

12.  Other

     The  Company,  from time to time, is a party to litigation  that
arises  in the normal course of its business operations.  The Company
presently  is  not a party to any  litigation that it believes  would
have a material adverse effect on its business operations.


13.  Subsequent Events

     On October 28, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.09 per share payable on December 17, 2003 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on November 25, 2003.

</TABLE>


Three  Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 2002

REVENUES:  Consolidated net revenues increased $8.5 million, or 6.9%,
to  $132.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from
$123.5  million for the three months ended September 30, 2002.   This
increase is attributable primarily to the factors described below  in
the   sections  entitled  "Net  Sales"  and  "Licensing/International
Revenue".

NET  SALES:  Wholesale net sales (excluding sales  to  the  Company's
Consumer Direct business segment) increased $2.9 million, or 3.8% for
the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $78.7 million from $75.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 2002.  This increase
is   primarily  due  to  increased  shipments  of  women's  footwear,
including the addition of Bongo licensed footwear, offset by declines
in  the handbag business.  Net sales in the Company's Consumer Direct
segment  increased $2.8 million, or 7.1%, to $42.1  million  for  the
three  months  ended September 30, 2003 from $39.3  million  for  the
three  months  ended  September  30,  2002.   This  increase  is  due
primarily  to  an  increase  in  comparable  store  sales  of   2.2%,
additional  sales from new stores opened in 2003 and that portion  of
2003 sales for stores not open for all of 2002.  The Company believes
the increase in comparable store sales is a result of its efforts  to
adapt  its  product  offerings  to better  reflect  current  consumer
demands.  The Catalog/Internet operations accounted for the remaining
increase in sales of the Company's Consumer Direct segment.

LICENSING/INTERNATIONAL REVENUE:  Royalty revenue increased 32.8%  to
$10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $8.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2002.   This  growth
in  licensing  revenues  is  driven primarily  by  increases  in  the
Company's women's categories, including sportswear, watches,  eyewear
and  jewelry.   Other  strong categories  were  luggage,  mens  dress
shirts,  ties, watches and fragrance.  The increase also reflected  a
one-time  payment  related to the transfer of the Company's  sunglass
license.

GROSS  PROFIT:   Consolidated gross profit as  a  percentage  of  net
revenues decreased to 43.6% for the three months ended September  30,
2003  from 43.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2002.  This
decrease   is  primarily due to the change in mix  of  the  Company's
revenues     from    its    Wholesale,    Consumer    Direct,     and
Licensing/International  segments, which operate  at  very  different
gross  margin levels.    The Wholesale segment, which operates  at  a
lower  gross  profit  level than the Consumer Direct  segment,  as  a
percentage  of net revenues decreased to 59.6% for the  three  months
ended  September  30,  2003 from 61.4% for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 2002, while the Consumer Direct segment as a percentage
of  net  revenues  increased to  31.9% for  the  three  months  ended
September  30,  2003 from 31.8% for the three months ended  September
30,  2002.   The  decrease in gross profit as  a  percentage  of  net
revenues was partially offset by the gross profit generated from  the
Licensing/International segment which carries nominal associated cost
of  goods  sold.   Licensing/International  revenue  increased  as  a
percentage  of  net  revenues  to 8.5% for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 2003 from 6.8% for the three months ended September 30,
2002.   The decrease in Wholesale gross  margin percentage stemmed in
part from  a  weakened  dollar  against the  Euro.   The increase  in
Consumer  Direct  gross  profit is  attributable  to  improvement  in
product assortments resulting in better sell-thrus.

SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Selling, general  and
administrative   expenses,   including  shipping   and   warehousing,
increased  6.6% to $41.9 million (or 31.7% of net revenues)  for  the
three months ended September 30, 2003 from $39.3 million (or 31.8% of
net  revenues)  for the three months ended September 30,  2002.   The
improvement  was  the  result of continued cost  control  strategies,
partially offset by heavier than normal expenditures related  to  the
Company's 20th anniversary marketing campaign.

ASSET  IMPAIRMENT:   The Company recorded a charge  of  $4.4  million
during  the three months ended September 30, 2002 due to a write-down
of  the  leasehold improvement associated with the Company's flagship
retail  store located at Rockefeller Center in New York  City.   This
charge,  which represented 3.6% of net revenues for the three  months
ended September 30, 2002, is included within operating income.

INTEREST  AND  OTHER INCOME:  Interest and other income decreased  to
$158,000  for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $266,000
for  the three months ended September 30, 2002.  The decrease is  due
to lower short-term interest rates on cash investments.

INCOME TAXES:  The Company's effective tax rate has remained at 37.0%
for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

NET  INCOME:  As a result of the foregoing, net income increased $3.2
million  or  47.8% for the three months ended September 30,  2003  to
$10.0 million (7.6 % of net revenues) from $6.8 million (5.5% of  net
revenues), including an asset impairment charge of $4.4 million and a
gain  included in gross profit of $860,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2002

REVENUES:  Consolidated net revenues increased 7.4% to $339.1 million
for  the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $315.7 million for
the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2002.   This  increase   is
attributable primarily to the factors described below in the sections
entitled "Net Sales" and "Licensing/International Revenue".

NET  SALES:  Wholesale net sales (excluding sales  to  the  Company's
Consumer Direct business segment) increased $13.7 million or 7.5% for
the  nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $196.7      million from
$183.0  million for the nine months ended September 30,  2002.    The
increase  is  due  primarily to increased shipments  from  men's  and
women's  footwear,  including  the addition  of  the  Bongo  licensed
footwear,  offset by a decline in the handbag business.  The  Company
believes  improved sell-thrus increased its footwear businesses,  but
were  partially  offset  by the tightening  of  inventory  levels  by
certain  major  Company customers, while the   handbag  business  has
undergone  distribution  and merchandising initiatives  creating  the
current  short  term  sales reduction.  Net sales  in  the  Company's
Consumer  Direct  segment increased $1.8 million or  1.6%  to  $114.2
million  for  the  nine months ended September 30, 2003  compared  to
$112.4  million  for the nine months ended September  30,  2002.  The
increase  in  net  sales is due to  $4.7 million in  sales  from  new
stores  opened in 2003 and that portion of 2003 sales for stores  not
open for all of 2002, partially offset a decrease in comparable store
sales of  2.9% or $3.1 million.

LICENSING/INTERNATIONAL REVENUE:  Royalty revenue increased 39.9%  to
$27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $19.8
million  for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This  increase
is  attributable primarily to the incremental minimum royalties  from
the  Company's existing licensees, most significantly from men's  and
women's  apparel,  new  revenues from  the  Company's  fragrance  and
women's jewelry licensees and payments related to the transfer of the
Company's fragrance and sunglass licenses.

GROSS  PROFIT:   Consolidated gross profit as  a  percentage  of  net
revenues  decreased to 44.0% for the nine months ended September  30,
2003  from  45.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.   The
decrease is primarily due to lower margins in the Company's Wholesale
and  Consumer  Direct segments offset by a greater portion  of  gross
profit,   as   a  percentage  of  net  revenues,  by  the  Licensing/
International segment, which carries nominal associated cost of goods
sold.     The  Wholesale  segment as a  percentage  of  net  revenues
remained  at 58.0% for the nine months ended September 30,  2003  and
2002,  while the Consumer Direct segment which operates at  a  higher
gross profit percentage decreased as a percentage of net revenues  to
33.7%,  for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from  35.6%  for
the  nine months ended September 302002.  The wholesale gross  margin
percentage  eroded  somewhat as a result of the  weakened  US  dollar
compared  to the Euro.  The Company believes the decrease in Consumer
Direct   gross  profit  percentage  was  attributable  to  a   highly
competitive,  promotionally  driven  retail  environment.  Licensing/
International  revenue increased as a percentage of net  revenues  to
8.3%  for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 6.4% for  the
nine months ended September 30, 2002.

SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Selling, general  and
administrative   expenses,   including  shipping   and   warehousing,
increased 1.6% to $114.2 million (or 33.7% of net revenues)  for  the
nine  months  ended  September 30, 2003 from the $112.4  million  (or
35.6%  of net revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
The  decrease  as  a  percentage of revenues is attributable  to  the
Company's ongoing cost control strategies, partially offset by a  one
time accrual for severance.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT:  The Company recorded a charge of $4.4 million
(1.4% of net revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
for a write-down of the lease hold improvements associated with the
Company's flagship store located at Rockefeller Center in New York
City.  The charge is included within operating income.

INTEREST  AND  OTHER INCOME:  Interest and other income decreased  to
$650,000   for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2003   from
approximately $863,000 for the nine months ended September 30,  2002.
The  decrease  is  the result of declining short-term  interest  rate
returns on cash investments.

INCOME TAXES:  The Company's effective tax rate remained at 37.0% for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

NET INCOME:  As a result of the foregoing, net income increased 26.7%
for  the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $22.5 million  (6.6%
of net revenues) from $17.7 million (5.6% of net revenues), including
an  asset  impairment charge of $4.4 million and a gain  of  $860,000
included  in  gross  profit for the nine months ended  September  30,
2002.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company uses cash from operations as the primary source  of
financing   for  its  expansion  and  seasonal  requirements.    Cash
requirements vary from time to time as a result of the timing of  the
receipt of merchandise from suppliers, the delivery by the Company of
merchandise  to  its customers, and the level of accounts  receivable
and  due  from factors balances.  At September 30, 2003 and  December
31,  2002  working  capital was $144.7 million  and  $124.1  million,
respectively.

     Cash  used in operating activities was $3.1 million for the nine
months  ended  September 30, 2003, compared to $1.1 million  for  the
nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The decrease in cash flow from
operations is primarily attributable to the timing of receivables and
payables offset by a reduction of inventory and additional net income
of $4.7 million.

     Net cash used in investing activities increased $524,000 for the
nine  months ended September 30, 2003 from $6.2 million for the  nine
months  ended September 30, 2002 to $6.7 million for the nine  months
ended  September 30, 2003.  Investing activities for the nine  months
ended  September  30,  2003 and 2002 were for  capital  expenditures.
Capital  expenditures  for new retail store openings  and  expansions
were  approximately $2.5 million and $3.1 million for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively.   The
remaining expenditures were used primarily for information technology
and  corporate headquarter renovations.  The Company expects to incur
approximately  $4.3 million in expenditures within the next two years
for the remaining build out of its corporate headquarters.

     Net  cash used in financing activities was $3.7 million for  the
nine  months  ended September 30, 2003 compared to the  $3.8  million
used in financing activities for the nine months ended September  30,
2002.  This is primarily attributable to the Company's repurchase  of
200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under its buyback program  for
an  aggregate purchase price of $4.5 million during the first quarter
2003  and  a quarterly dividend of approximately $1.5 million  during
the  three  months  ended  September 30, 2003,  partially  offset  by
proceeds  from the exercise of employee stock options.  This compared
to the Company's repurchas of  200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
during  the  nine months ending September 30, 2002, at  an  aggregate
purchase  price  of  approximately $4.6  million   The  dividend  was
declared and paid during the three months ended September 30, 2003 at
a  rate  of $.075 per share to Class A and B shareholders, 11,473,417
and 8,201,497 shares, respectively.

The  Company's  material  obligations under  contractual  agreements,
including  commitments  for  future payments  under  operating  lease
agreements  and contractual agreements as of September 30,  2003  are
summarized as follows:

                  =========== =========== =========== =========== ============
</TABLE>


     The  Company  currently has a line of credit, which  allows  for
borrowings and letters of credit up to a maximum of $25.0 million  to
finance working capital requirements.  The Company has no outstanding
advances under this line of credit; however, amounts available  under
the line of credit were reduced by $2.8 million in standby letters of
credit and $1.6 million in open letters of credit to $20.6 million at
September 30, 2003.

     The  Company believes that it will be able to satisfy  its  cash
requirements for the next year, including requirements for its retail
expansion,  new  corporate office build-out,  dividend  payments  and
enhancements  to its information systems, primarily  with  cash  flow
from operations and current cash levels.

           The  foregoing  commentary should be  considered  to  fall
within  the coverage of the "Safe Harbor Statement" under the Private
Securities  Litigation reform Act of 1995 included  in  this  report.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The  Company  does  not  believe it has a material  exposure  to
market  risk.  The Company is primarily exposed to currency exchange-
rate risks with respect to its inventory transactions denominated  in
Euros.   Business activities in various currencies expose the Company
to the risk that the eventual net dollar cash flows from transactions
with  foreign  suppliers  denominated in foreign  currencies  may  be
adversely affected by changes in currency rates.  The Company manages
these  risks by utilizing foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge
its  cost  in  future  purchases.  The Company does  not  enter  into
foreign   currency  transactions  for  speculative   purposes.     At
September  30,  2003,  the  Company had  foreign  exchange  contracts
totaling $10.5 million in notional value with an unrealized  gain  of
$392,000,  net of taxes. The Company's earnings may also be  affected
by  changes  in  short-term interest rates as a result of  borrowings
under  its  line  of  credit facility.  At  the  Company's  borrowing
levels;  a  two  percent  increase in interest  rates  affecting  the
Company's  credit facility would not have a material  effect  on  the
Company's year-to-date and projected 2003 and actual 2002 net income.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

      The  Company's  chief  executive officer  and  chief  financial
officer,   after  evaluating  the  effectiveness  of  the   Company's
"disclosure  controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules  13a-15(e)
or  15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)  as
of  the  end  of  the period covered by this quarterly  report,  have
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures  were
effective  and designed to ensure that material information  relating
to  the Company and the Company's consolidated subsidiaries would  be
made  known  to them by others within those entities to allow  timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in internal controls

      There  were  no  significant changes in the Company's  internal
controls  or  in other factors that could significantly affect  those
controls  subsequent to the most recent evaluation of  the  Company's
disclosure controls and procedures.
