             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 six months ended June  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.   Recent Accounting Pronouncement

          In  April  2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
     Emerging Issues Task Force
     ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income
     Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a  Reseller
     of   the   Vendor's  Products."   This  issue   addresses   the
     recognition, measurement and income statement classification of
     consideration  from a vendor to a customer in  connection  with
     the  customer's purchase or promotion of the vendor's products.
     The  Company's adoption of the EITF Issue No.  00-25 on January
     1,  2002  impacted  net revenue and expense classifications  by
     approximately $1,103,000 and $974,000 for the six months  ended
     June  30,  2003 and 2002, respectively, and did not change  net
     income.  Prior periods have been reclassified accordingly.


     3.  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>


     5.  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
     $11,950,000  and  $10,929,000 for the six-month  periods  ended
     June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Comprehensive income for
     the  three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002  amounted
     to $5,777,000 and $5,514,000, respectively.


     6.   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 foreign currencies.  These
     forward  exchange  contracts  are  used  to  hedge  against  the
     Company's  exposure  to  changes in foreign  exchange  rates  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  $4,750,000 at June 30, 2003 with  maturity  dates
     through August 2003.
       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 six months ended June 30, 2003.  At June 30, 2003  the
     Company's  notional  $4,750,000  in  forward  exchange  contracts
     resulted in an unrealized gain of approximately $10,000,  net  of
     taxes,  which  was included as an addition to 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 unrealized gain from other  comprehensive
     income into earnings within the next two month period due to  the
     actual  executions  of  foreign exchange  contracts  to  purchase
     merchandise.

     7.    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.

     Financial  information of the Company's reportable segments  is
     as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

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

REVENUES:  Consolidated net revenues decreased $2.3 million, or 2.3%,
to  $96.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $99.3
million  for the three months ended June 30, 2002.  This decrease  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) decreased $4.9 million, or 9.1% for
the  three  months  ended June 30, 2003 to $48.6 million  from  $53.4
million  for  the  three  months ended June 30,  2002.   The  Company
believes  this  decrease is attributable primarily to  tightening  of
inventory  levels  at  certain of the Company's  major  customers  as
brought on by a difficult environment.  In addition, the Company  was
implementing  certain distribution and merchandising  initiatives  in
the handbag business, which created a near term sales reduction.  Net
sales  in  the  Company's  Consumer  Direct  segment  decreased  $0.2
million,  or 0.4%, to $39.5 million for the three months  ended  June
30, 2003 from $39.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
The decrease in net sales is due primarily to a decline in comparable
store  sales of 4.4% or $1.6 million, offset by $1.3 million in sales
from  new  stores opened in 2003 and that portion of 2003  sales  for
stores not open for all of 2002 as well as $0.2 million in additional
sales  from Catalog/ Internet operations.  The Company believes  this
decrease  is  due  in  part to the economic weakness  generally  seen
throughout  the  retail and apparel industry and to  weather  related
effects in the Northeast on certain seasonal product.

LICENSING/INTERNATIONAL REVENUE:  Royalty revenue increased 47.1%  to
$8.8  million  for  the three months ended June 30,  2003  from  $6.0
million  for the three months ended June 30, 2002.   This  growth  in
licensing revenues was driven by new licensees such as fragrance  and
women's jewelry, increases  from men's and women's sportswear,  and a
one time  payment related to  the transfer of the  Company's fragrace
license.

GROSS  PROFIT:   Consolidated gross profit as  a  percentage  of  net
revenues decreased to 45.4% for the three months ended June 30,  2003
from 46.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2002.  The decrease is
due to lower margins on sales in the Company's Wholesale and Consumer
Direct segments, as well as the change in mix of the Company's  sales
from  its  Wholesale,  Consumer Direct,  and  Licensing/International
segments,  which operate at very different gross margin levels.   The
Company  believes  the decrease in Wholesale gross margin  percentage
stemmed mostly from a weakened dollar and from increased clearance of
spring merchandise.  The decrease in Consumer Direct gross profit was
attributable  to  lower  sales  volume  and  margins  in   a   highly
competitive, promotionally driven retail environment.  The  Wholesale
segment,  which  operates  at a lower gross  profit  level  than  the
Consumer Direct segment, as a percentage of net revenues decreased to
50.1%  for  the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 53.9%  for  the
three  months ended June 30, 2002, while the Consumer Direct  segment
as  a  percentage  of net revenue increased to 40.7%  for  the  three
months ended June 30, 2003 from 39.9% for the three months ended June
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 9.2% for the three months  ended  June
30, 2003 from 6.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Selling, general  and
administrative   expenses,   including  shipping   and   warehousing,
decreased  8.5% to $34.6 million (or 35.7% of net revenues)  for  the
three months ended June 30, 2003 from $37.8 million (or 38.1% of  net
revenues)  for the three months ended June 30, 2002.  The improvement
was  the  result  of successful cost control strategies  in  payroll,
marketing, travel, and  distribution,  partially offset by a one time
accrual for severance.

INTEREST  AND  OTHER INCOME:  Interest and other income decreased  to
$250,000  for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $330,000  for
the  three months ended June 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 June 30, 2003 and 2002.

NET INCOME:  As a result of the foregoing, net income increased 11.8%
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $6.1 million (6.3% of net
revenues)  from  $5.4 million (5.5% of net revenues)  for  the  three
months ended June 30, 2002.

Six months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
2002

REVENUES:  Consolidated net revenues increased 7.7% to $207.1 million
for  the  six months ended June 30, 2003 from $192.2 million for  the
six  months  ended  June  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 $10.8 million  or  10.1%
for  the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $118.0 million from $107.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.   The increase is due
primarily to increased sales from Reaction Kenneth Cole and  Unlisted
brands  partially offset by lower sales from Kenneth  Cole  New  York
branded   footwear  and  handbags,  which  faced  increased  consumer
willingness to forego purchases at regular retail prices as consumers
instead  looked for promotions.  Net sales in the Company's  Consumer
Direct  segment decreased $1.0 million or 1.4% to $72.1  million  for
the  six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $73.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2002. The decline in net sales is due to  a
decrease in comparable store sales of 5.8% or $3.9 million, partially
offset  by $2.8 million in 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 decrease in net sales in the  Consumer  Direct
segment  is  due  in  part  to the economic weakness  generally  seen
throughout  the  retail  and apparel industry,  the  Company's  early
transition to spring and lightweight products, the impact of  weather
related   fluctuations  in  our  business  and  the  effects   of   a
promotionally driven and highly competitive retail environment.

LICENSING/INTERNATIONAL REVENUE:  Royalty revenue increased 44.8%  to
$16.8  million  for  the six months ended June 30,  2003  from  $11.6
million  for  the  six months ended June 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, as well as new revenues from the Company's fragrance
licensee.

GROSS  PROFIT:   Consolidated gross profit as  a  percentage  of  net
revenues decreased to 44.2% for the six months ended  June  30,  2003
from  46.8% for the six months ended June 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.
Licensing/  International revenues increased as a percentage  of  net
revenues to 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 6.2% for
the  six  months  ended June 30, 2002.  The Wholesale  segment  as  a
percentage  of  net revenues increased to 57.0% for  the  six  months
ended  June  30,  2003 from 55.8% for the six months ended  June  30,
2002,  while the Consumer Direct segment which operates at  a  higher
gross profit percentage decreased as a percentage of net revenues  to
34.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 38.0% for the  six
months  ended  June  30,  2002.  In addition,  the  wholesale  margin
percentage  eroded as a result of the weakened US dollar compared  to
the  Euro  and  the growing promotionally driven retail  environment.
The  Company  believes the decrease in Consumer Direct  gross  profit
percentage  was  attributable to a highly competitive,  promotionally
driven retail environment.

SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Selling, general  and
administrative   expenses,   including  shipping   and   warehousing,
decreased  1.0% to $72.4 million (or 34.9% of net revenues)  for  the
six  months ended June 30, 2003 from the $73.1 million (or  38.0%  of
net  revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2002.  The  decrease
as  a  percentage of revenue is attributable to the Company's ongoing
cost control strategies in payroll, marketing, travel, operations and
distribution.

INTEREST  AND  OTHER INCOME:  Interest and other income decreased  to
$492,000  for  the six months ended June 30, 2003 from  approximately
$597,000 for the six months ended June 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

NET INCOME:  As a result of the foregoing, net income increased 13.5%
for  the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $12.4 million (6.0% of net
revenues)  from  $10.9  million (5.7% of net revenues)  for  the  six
months ended June 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 June 30, 2003 and December  31,
2002   working  capital  was  $135.2  million  and  $124.1   million,
respectively.

     Cash provided by operating activities was $17.1 million for  the
six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $10.1 million provided by
operating  activities for the six months ended June  30,  2002.   The
increase in cash flow from operations is primarily attributable to an
increase in net income of approximately $1.5 million compared to  the
prior  period  and the timing of payables and  receivables which  was
offset by an increase in inventory.

     Net cash used in investing activities decreased $217,000 for the
six  months ended June 30, 2003 from $3.3 million for the six  months
ended June 30, 2002 to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003.   Investing activities for the six months ended June  30,  2003
and 2002 were for capital expenditures.  Capital expenditures for new
retail  store openings and expansions were approximately $1.4 million
and  $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30,
2002,  respectively.  The remaining expenditures were used  primarily
for information technology and corporate headquarter renovations.

     During 2000, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters to
a   larger   location  in  New  York  City.   The  Company  completed
renovations,  incurring  approximately  $15.5  million   in   capital
expenditures  and expects to incur approximately an  additional  $6.5
million within the next two years.

     Net  cash used in financing activities was $3.1 million for  the
six  months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the $402,000 provided  by
financing activities for the six months ended June 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.   The
Company did not repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock during  the
six months ended June 30, 2002.   The repurchase of shares was offset
by  approximately  $1.4  million  in  proceeds  from   stock  options
exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

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

     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 $0.8 million in open letters of  credit
to $21.4 million at June 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 June 30,
2003,  the  Company  had  foreign exchange  contracts  totaling  $4.8
million in notional value with an unrealized gain of $10,000, 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.
