DEL LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except for share and per share data)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") Issue No. 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives" and
EITF Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of
Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products". EITF Issue
No. 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives" 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.
Previously, these items were included in selling and administrative
expenses. EITF Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization
of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products" requires
that unless specific criteria are met, consideration from a vendor to a
retailer (e.g., "slotting fees", "cooperative advertising arrangements",
"buy downs", etc.) be recorded as a reduction from revenue. As result of
the adoption on January 1, 2002, of EITF Issue No. 00-14 and EITF Issue
No. 00-25, costs of $8,560 and $7,425 for the three months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively, and costs of $16,326 and $13,436 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were recorded as a
reduction of net sales. In 2001, such costs were included in selling and
administrative expenses and have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".
SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method only and that certain
acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as
assets apart from goodwill. Since the Company did not enter into any
business combinations subsequent to June 30, 2001, the adoption of SFAS
No. 141 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company performed the
required SFAS No. 142 impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets
as of January 1, 2002, and determined that no adjustment to the asset
values or to the useful lives of the intangible assets is required. This
determination, as well as the fact that the Company's goodwill was
recorded prior to October 31, 1970 and therefor, was not subject to
amortization prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted in earnings
per share information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002
being comparative with the corresponding period in the prior year. The
Company does not have any intangible assets, other than goodwill, with
indefinite useful lives.

A summary of the Company's critical and significant accounting policies
are presented in its 2001 Form 10-K. Users of financial information
produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes
contained in the Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated
financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company for interim periods. Certain reclassifications were made to
prior year amounts in order to conform to current year presentation.


2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally first-in,
first-out) or market value. The Company records adjustments 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 are as follows:

3. INTANGIBLES

Intangibles arising from acquisitions are as follows:

-------------
Gross Net

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

Intellectual property rights $10,558 $2,214 $8,344
Trademarks 3,000 2,625 375
------- ------ ------
$13,558 $4,839 $8,719
======= ====== ======

Amortization expense amounted to $169 and $220 for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and amounted to $338 and $440 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The estimated
amortization expense for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2002, 2003,
2004, 2005, and 2006, is $678, $678, $678, $528, and $528, respectively.
The original useful lives were 20 years for intellectual property rights
and trademarks. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002, the
remaining useful lives were still deemed appropriate.


4. LONG-TERM DEBT

June 30 December 31
2002 2001
----- ----

9.5% senior notes $32,000 $36,000
Notes payable under revolving

------- -------
$66,105 $66,328
Less current portion 8,373 4,339
------- -------
$57,732 $61,989
======= =======

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 notes require
annual principal repayments of $8,000 on May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2004
and $16,000 on May 31, 2005. The amended agreement is unsecured and
includes covenants, which provide among other things for the maintenance
of financial covenants and ratios relating to consolidated net worth,
restrictions on cash dividends, the purchase of treasury stock and
certain other expenditures.

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 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 terms of the agreement include a commitment fee based on unutilized
amounts and an annual agency fee. The new deferred financing fees
associated with the March 26, 2002 amendment and the unamortized deferred
financing fees related to the February 25, 2000 agreement are now being
amortized over the term of the new agreement. Covenants provide among
other things, for the maintenance of financial covenants and 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 amended February 25, 2000 revolving credit agreement.


5. PLANT CLOSURE

On June 26, 2001, the Company announced that it would initiate a series
of actions resulting in a full closure of the Newark, New Jersey
manufacturing facility by the end of the first quarter of 2002. It was
estimated that the plant closure would result in the termination of
approximately 70 production and clerical employees. Estimated severance,
pension curtailment and other exit plan expenses of $226 were recorded in
the second quarter of 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, an
additional $45 in exit plan expenses was recorded. As of June 30, 2002,
manufacturing operations have ceased, a total of 67 production and
clerical employees were terminated and $260 of exit costs were expended.
The Company believes that the accrued exit cost liability of $11 at June
30, 2002 is adequate for the balance of costs to be incurred.

- 7 -






6. SALE OF LAND

On February 13, 2002, the Company sold 13.5 acres of vacant land in
Farmingdale, New York to an unrelated third party for gross proceeds of
$3,335 which was reduced by $160 for closing costs. In addition, $235 of
the sales price will be paid by the purchaser upon the earlier of
February 13, 2003 or two business days after receipt by the purchaser of
a certificate of occupancy on any building constructed on such land. The
land was included in property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2001,
with a book value of $500. After transaction related costs of $407, a
gain of $2,428 ($1,457 after-tax, or $0.17 per basic share) was recorded
in the first quarter. In connection with this sale, an option was granted
to the buyer for the remaining 8.5 acres of improved land and buildings
owned by the Company. The option is for a purchase price of no less than
$5,000 and cannot be exercised before December 1, 2004 or after December
1, 2005.



7. 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.

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.
Accordingly, the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the
consolidated statements of earnings for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001, have been adjusted to reflect the dividend.

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





Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30 June 30
------- -------
2002 2001 2002 2001
---- ---- ---- ----


Net earnings (numerator) $4,589 $3,315 $9,537 $4,585

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

Weighted-average common and potential
common shares outstanding
(denominator for diluted earnings per share) 9,060 8,465 8,932 8,452
====== ====== ====== ======

Basic earnings per share $ 0.53 $ 0.39 $ 1.11 $ 0.54
====== ====== ====== ======

Diluted earnings per share $ 0.51 $ 0.39 $ 1.07 $ 0.54
====== ====== ====== ======




Employee stock options of 313,000 and 1,605,000 shares for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 374,000 and
1,695,000 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, were not included in the net earnings per share calculation
because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

As a result of stock options exercised during the first half of 2002, the
corresponding tax benefit of $2,337 was recorded as a reduction to income
taxes payable and as an increase in additional paid-in capital.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in two segments, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical, that
have been organized by the products and services they offer. The Cosmetic
segment's principal products are nail care, nail color, color cosmetics,
beauty implements, bleaches and depilatories, personal care products and
other related cosmetic items. The Pharmaceutical segment's principal
products are proprietary oral analgesics, acne treatment products and
first aid products. The accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. As
result of the adoption on January 1, 2002, of EITF Issue No. 00-14 and
EITF Issue No. 00-25, (described in note 1 to these consolidated
financial statements) costs of $8,560 and $7,425 were recorded as a
reduction of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and June
30, 2001, respectively. Costs of $16,326 and $13,436 were recorded as a
reduction of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. In 2001, these costs were included in selling and
administrative expenses. The Company evaluates the performance of its
operating segments based on operating income. Certain assets, including
property, plant and equipment and deferred tax assets, are not allocated
to the identifiable segments; depreciation of unallocated assets is
charged to the Cosmetic segment.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In September 2001, the Company received notice from the Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") that it was, along with 81 others, a Potentially Responsible
Party regarding a Superfund Site ("the Site") located in Glen Cove, New York.
According to the notice received from the EPA, the Company's involvement relates
to empty drums coming to the Site in 1977 and 1978. In the third quarter of
2001, the Company recorded an estimate of $550 in selling and administrative
expenses based on information received from the EPA as to its potential
liability for 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 liabililties under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") with regard to the Site.
Pursuant to an agreement among JDG members as to how to allocate such payment
amounts, the Company recorded, in the second quarter of 2002, an additional
estimate of $785 in selling and administrative expenses. The Company believes
the current recorded estimated liability of $1,335 is adequate to cover the
potential CERCLA liability associated with the Site. The Company currently
anticipates that the payment of its allocated share will be due in the third or
fourth quarter of 2002. The charge of $785 had a negative impact of $0.06 per
basic share on net earnings for the second quarter and the six months ended June
30, 2002.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (In thousands except per share data)

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company sells its products to chain drug stores, mass volume retailers,
supermarkets and wholesalers. Sales of such products are principally denominated
in U.S. 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 trade terms. 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.

On January 1, 2002, the Company implemented EITF Issue No. 00-14, "Accounting
for Certain Sales Incentives" and EITF Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement
Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products".
EITF Issue No. 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives" 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. Previously,
these items were included in selling and administrative expenses. EITF Issue No.
00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a
Reseller of the Vendor's Products" requires that unless specific criteria are
met, consideration from a vendor to a retailer (e.g., "slotting fees",
"cooperative advertising arrangements", "buy downs", etc.) be recorded as a
reduction from revenue, as opposed to a selling expense. As a result of the
implementation of EITF Issue No. 00-14 and EITF Issue No. 00-25, costs of $8,560
and $7,425 were recorded as a reduction of net sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Costs of $16,326 and $13,436 were
recorded as a reduction of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively. In 2001, these costs were included in selling and
administrative expenses and have been reclassified to conform with current year
presentation.

CO-OPERATIVE ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES

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 arrangements primarily allow customers to take
deductions against amounts owed to the Company for product purchases. Estimated
accruals for promotions and co-operative advertising programs are recorded in
the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company regularly
reviews and revises the estimated accruals for the projected costs for these
promotions. 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.


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 adjustments 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
adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or
unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions, the timing
of new product introductions, customer inventory levels, fashion-oriented color
cosmetic trends or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.


PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS

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

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

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill must be tested annually for impairment
at the reporting unit level. The Company's reporting units are its Cosmetics 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.

PENSION BENEFITS

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

(1) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VERSUS JUNE 30, 2001

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2002 were $93,262, an increase
of 15.8% compared to $80,512 in 2001. Consolidated net sales for the first six
months of 2002 were $173,202, an increase of 17.6% compared to $147,239 in 2001.
Net sales for 2001 include a reclassification to conform with current year
presentation. Cosmetic net sales for the second quarter of 2002 were $76,238, an
increase of 18.2% compared to $64,484 in 2001. Cosmetic net sales for the first
six months of 2002 were $139,983, an increase of 21.8% compared to $114,934 in
2001. The second quarter increase is due principally to volume growth in the
Sally Hansen family of brands and Naturistics Cosmetics. Pharmaceutical net
sales for the second quarter of 2002 were $17,024, an increase of 6.2% compared
to $16,028 in 2001. Pharmaceutical net sales for the first six months of 2002
were $33,219, an increase of 2.8% compared to $32,305 in 2001. The second
quarter increase is primarily due to volume growth in the Orajel brand of
analgesics and the introduction of Gentle Naturals, a line of special treatments
for babies who have eczema, cradle cap, colds and ear aches, partially offset by
increased promotional allowances.

Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2002 was $44,979 or 48.2% of net
sales, compared to $38,944 or 48.4% of net sales in 2001. Cost of goods sold for
the first six months of 2002 was $82,356 or 47.5% of net sales, compared to
$70,502 or 47.9% of net sales in 2001. For the second quarter of 2002, in
Pharmaceuticals, a change in sales mix, which includes the new Gentle Naturals
line, negatively impacted the quarter to quarter comparison of operating income
as reflected in the segment information contained in footnote 9 to the
consolidated financial statements.

Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2002 were $39,663
or 42.5% of net sales compared to $34,058 or 42.3% of net sales in 2001. Selling
and administrative expense for the first six months of 2002 were $75,080 or
43.3% of net sales compared to $64,938 or 44.1% net of sales. The increase of
$5,605 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and the increase of $10,142 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 is due primarily to higher advertising and
promotional expenses and higher compensation and pension costs. The improvement
in selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, is
attributable to sales increasing at a higher rate than increases in spending.

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 relates
to empty drums coming to the Site in 1977 and 1978. In the third quarter of
2001, the Company recorded an estimate of $550 in selling and administrative
expenses based on information received from the EPA as to its potential
liability for 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 liabililties under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") with regard to the Site.
Pursuant to an agreement among JDG members as to how to allocate such payment
amounts, the Company recorded, in the second quarter of 2002, an additional
estimate of $785 in selling and administrative expenses. The Company believes
the current recorded estimated liability of $1,335 is adequate to cover the
potential CERCLA liability associated with the Site. The Company currently
anticipates that the payment of its allocated share will be due in the third or
fourth quarter 2002. The charge of $785 had a negative impact of $0.06 per basic
share on net earnings for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30,
2002.

On February 13, 2002, the Company sold 13.5 acres of vacant land in Farmingdale,
New York to an unrelated third party for gross proceeds of $3,335 which was
reduced by $160 for closing costs. In addition, $235 of the sales price will be
paid by the purchaser upon the earlier of February 13, 2003 or two business days
after receipt by the purchaser of a certificate of occupancy on any building
constructed on such land. The land was included in property, plant and equipment
at December 31, 2001, with a book value of $500. After transaction related costs
of $407, a gain of $2,428 ($1,457 after-tax, or $0.17 per basic share) was
recorded in the first quarter. In connection with this sale, an option was
granted to the buyer for the remaining 8.5 acres of improved land and buildings
owned by the Company. The option is for a purchase price of no less than $5,000
and cannot be exercised before December 1, 2004 or after December 1, 2005.

Interest expense, net of interest income, for the second quarter of 2002 was
$1,126 compared to $1,863 in 2001. Interest expense, net of interest income, for
the first six months of 2002 was $2,344 compared to $3,824 in 2001. The
decreases in net interest expense is due to a reduction in average outstanding
borrowings and decreased borrowing rates.

Income taxes are based on the Company's expected annual effective tax rate of
39% in 2002 and 41% in 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2002 is
primarily due to the reduced effect of non-deductible expenses on taxable
income.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2002 were $4,589 or $0.53 per basic share
compared to net earnings of $3,315 or $0.39 per basic share in 2001. Net
earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $9,537 or $1.11 per basic
share compared to $4,585 or $0.54 per basic share in 2001. Net earnings for the
six months of 2002 include a gain on the sale of land in the first quarter of
$1,457 or $0.17 per basic share as more fully described above and in note 6 to
the consolidated financial statements.

(2) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2002 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,594 compared to
$2,688 at December 31, 2001 and $4,056 at June 30, 2001.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,316 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, due principally to net earnings of $9,537, depreciation and
amortization of $3,609, increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$4,553 and $4,386, respectively, offset by increases of $10,540 in accounts
receivable and $5,368 in inventories. The increase in accounts receivable is
attributable to the timing of shipments during the second quarter. The increase
in inventories and accounts payable is due to the timing of purchases of raw
materials and components to support projected sales levels.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was
$656 due to expenditures of $3,596 for property, plant and equipment, partially
offset by net proceeds of $2,940 from the sale of land.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was
$2,724 due primarily to the acquisition of treasury stock of $2,489 in
connection with stock option exercises.

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 notes require annual principal repayments
of $8,000 on May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2004 and $16,000 on May 31, 2005. The
amended agreement is unsecured and includes covenants, which provide among other
things for the maintenance of financial covenants and ratios relating to
consolidated net worth, restrictions on cash dividends, the purchase of treasury
stock and certain other expenditures.

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 and extends the expiration to March 26,
2005. As a result of this amendment, the Company's credit line increased to
$45,000 from $43,500. Under the terms of the agreement, interest rates on
borrowings are based on, at the Company's option, LIBOR or prime rates. The
terms of the agreement include a commitment fee based on unutilized amounts and
an annual agency fee. The new deferred financing fees associated with the March
26, 2002 amendment and the unamortized deferred financing fees related to the
February 25, 2000 agreement are now being amortized over the term of the new
agreement. Covenants provide among other things, for the maintenance of
financial covenants and 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 under the amended February 25, 2000 revolving credit
agreement executed a Release and Termination Agreement of the collateral liens
granted in the previous amendment.

On August 5, 2002, the Company announced that it would initiate a series of
actions, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2002, to transfer all manufacturing
operations from its Farmingdale, New York facility to its Rocky Point, North
Carolina facility. It is estimated that the transfer will be completed by the
third quarter of 2004.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In order to aggregate all contractual obligations as of June 30, 2002, the
Company has included the following table:

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

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," which establishes an accounting standard requiring the recording
of the fair value of liabilities associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets in the period in which they are incurred. The Company must adopt SFAS No.
143 on January 1, 2003. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that
the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability be
recognized for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity only when the
liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 also establishes fair value as the objective
for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities.
SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that the
adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
