ONEIDA LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Thousands)

1. The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended
October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 are unaudited; in the opinion of the
Company such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
(which comprise only normal recurring accruals, except as discussed below with
respect to the restatement) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
such periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
October 26, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to
be expected for the year ending January 25, 2003. The consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes for the years ended in January 2002 and 2001
included in the Company's January 26, 2002 Annual Report to the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. The company will file amended Form 10-K and
Form 10-Q reports with respect to the restatement discussed below as soon as
possible.


Restatement

In November, 2002 the company announced that it would restate financial results
for its accounting for the August 2000 acquisition of Delco International Ltd.
The company concluded that adjustments were needed to its initial purchase price
allocation to record compensation related to employment agreements previously
recorded as goodwill, integration and other period costs and to appropriately
recognize the deferred tax effects of the acquisition. In addition,
reclassifications were made between various balance sheet accounts, including
inventory, receivables, fixed assets, goodwill, other assets, and accrued
liabilities to properly classify fair value and other adjustments associated
with the acquisition. The cumulative effect of these restatements results in the
recognition from August 2000 through July 2002 of additional compensation
expense, integration expenses, and tax expense totaling $3.4 million as compared
to what was previously reported.

Net income for the quarter ended October, 2001 decreased from $300 as previously
reported to $196 as restated. This reduction results from recognition of
additional compensation expense and integration costs of $109 and $58,
respectively, net of an associated income tax benefit of $63.

Net income for the nine month period ended October, 2001 decreased from $2.4
million as previously reported to $1.1 million as restated. This reduction
results from the recognition of additional cost of sales, compensation expense,
and integration costs of $1.2 million, $327 and $646, respectively, net of an
associated income tax benefit of $802.

As Prev. Increase
Reported (Decrease) Restated
-------- -------- --------

Other current assets ............ $ 18,540 $ (853) $ 17,687

Accrued income taxes ............ 3,696 1,549 5,245
Retained earnings ............... 63,918 (3,280) 60,638



The consolidated balance sheet as of January 2002 has been restated to reflect
the effects of the adjustments described above. Retained earnings has been
decreased $3.3 million from $63.9 million as previously reported to $60.6
million as restated to recognize the cumulative effect of increased compensation
expense of $1.0 million, increased cost of sales of $1.2 million, increased
integration costs of $500, reduced goodwill amortization of $640, and increased
income tax expense of $1.2 million. Goodwill has been restated downward from
$134.1 million as previously reported to $131.8 million as restated principally
to reflect the reversal of compensation and integration costs included in the
purchase price allocation approximating $3.2 million, reclassify $2.2 million of
fair value adjustments and exit costs from accrued liabilities into goodwill, to
increase net deferred tax assets related to the acquisition of $1.9 million, and
to reduce accumulated amortization of goodwill by $640.


Net income (loss) for the three month period ended April 2001 decreased from
$444 and $.02 per share as previously reported to ($418) and ($.03) per share as
restated as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of
$339, cost of sales of $956, integration costs of $73, less an income tax
benefit of $506. Net income for the three month period ended April 2002
decreased from $1,702 as previously reported to $1,648 as restated and earnings
per share remained unchanged, as a result of the recognition of additional
compensation expense of $86, less an income tax benefit of $32.




12












Net income for the three month period ended July 2001 decreased from $1,699 and
$.10 per share as previously reported to $1,301 and $.08 per share as restated
as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of $109, cost
of sales of $238, integration costs of $285, less an income tax benefit of $234.
Net income for the three month period ended July 2002 decreased from $2,969 as
previously reported to $2,915 as restated and earnings per share remained
unchanged, as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of
$86 less an income tax benefit of $32.

Net income for the six-month period ended July 2001 decreased from $2,143 and
$.13 per share as previously reported to $883 and $.05 per share as restated as
a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of $448, cost of
sales of $1,194, integration costs of $358 less an income tax benefit of $740.
Net income for the six-month period ended July 2002 decreased from $4,671 as
previously reported to $4,563 as restated and earnings per share remained
unchanged, as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of
$172 less an income tax benefit of $64.

For the year ended January, 2001, net loss was increased by $1.8 million; net
loss per share was increased by $0.11, from ($0.09) as previously reported to
($0.20) as restated. For the year ended January, 2002, net income was reduced by
$1.48 million; earnings per share was reduced by $0.09, from $0.51 as previously
reported to $0.42 as restated.

Due to the restated financial results for the 2001 fiscal year, the company was
not in compliance with certain of its loan covenants with respect to its senior
notes and revolving credit agreement. Waivers for the non-compliance have been
obtained from the company's lenders.


2. The provision for income taxes is based on pre-tax income for financial
statement purposes with an appropriate deferred tax provision to give effect to
changes in temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. The temporary differences arise principally from
postretirement benefits, depreciation and other employee benefits.


3. Basic and diluted earnings per share are presented for each period in which a
statement of operations is presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing income less preferred stock dividends by the weighted average shares
actually outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the
potentially dilutive effect of shares issuable under the employee stock purchase
and incentive stock option plans.

The shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS exclude options to purchase
shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of
common shares for the period. Such shares aggregated 2,134 and 1,689 for the
three months ended October 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 2,040 and 1,361 for
the nine months ended October 2002 and 2001, respectively.

6. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
("SFAS 142"). We adopted SFAS 142 effective January 27, 2002. Under this
standard, amortization of goodwill and certain intangible assets, including
certain intangibles recorded as a result of past business combinations, is to be
discontinued upon adoption of SFAS 142. The new standard requires that goodwill
and intangible assets be tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company
performed the impairment test in the second fiscal quarter of 2002 and the
analysis indicated there is no impairment. The increase in restated goodwill of
$1.49 million from January 26, 2002 to October 26, 2002 represents translation
adjustments in the company's foreign subsidiaries.

The following is a reconciliation assuming goodwill and other intangible assets
had been accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142 in the nine
months ended October 27, 2001. The net income is restated as discussed in Note
1.

7. Other income (expense) for the nine months ended October 26, 2002 was
principally generated from insurance proceeds of $3,000 for recovery of legal
costs incurred in connection with a fiscal 2000 unsolicited takeover attempt and
gain on the sale of the remaining shares of Prudential stock of $1,300.


8. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting for restructuring
and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 replaces previous accounting guidance,
principally Emerging issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under Issue 94-3, a
liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the company's
commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability costs
associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is
incurred. SFAS No. 146 also established that the liability should initially be
measured and recorded at fair value. This standard is effective beginning
January 1, 2003 and will impact the accounting for exit or disposal activities,
if any, initiated on or after that date.

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

The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations presented below reflects the impact of the restatements to
the Company's previously reported Consolidated Financial Statements as further
discussed below.

Restatement

In November, 2002 the company announced that it would restate financial results
for its accounting for the August 2000 acquisition of Delco International Ltd.
The company concluded that adjustments were needed to its initial purchase price
allocation to record compensation related to employment agreements previously
recorded as goodwill, integration and other period costs and to appropriately
recognize the deferred tax effects of the acquisition. In addition,
reclassifications were made between various balance sheet accounts, including
inventory, receivables, fixed assets, goodwill, other assets, and accrued
liabilities to properly classify fair value and other adjustments associated
with the acquisition. The cumulative effect of these restatements results in the
recognition from August 2000 through July 2002 of additional compensation
expense, integration expenses, and tax expense totaling $3.4 million as compared
to what was previously reported.

Net income for the quarter ended October, 2001 decreased from $300 as previously
reported to $196 as restated. This reduction results from recognition of
additional compensation expense and integration costs of $109 and $58,
respectively, net of an associated income tax benefit of $63. Net income for the
nine month period ended October, 2001 decreased from $2.4 million as previously
reported to $1.1 million as restated. This reduction results from the
recognition of additional cost of sales, compensation expense, and integration
costs of $1.2 million, $327 and $646, respectively, net of an associated income
tax benefit of $802.

Net income (loss) for the three month period ended April 2001 decreased from
$444 and $.02 per share as previously reported to ($418) and ($.03) per share as
restated as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of
$339, cost of sales of $956, integration costs of $73, less an income tax
benefit of $506. Net income for the three month period ended April 2002
decreased from $1,702 as previously reported to $1,648 as restated and earnings
per share remained unchanged, as a result of the recognition of additional
compensation expense of $86, less an income tax benefit of $32.

Net income for the three month period ended July 2001 decreased from $1,699 and
$.10 per share as previously reported to $1,301 and $.08 per share as restated
as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of $109, cost
of sales of $238, integration costs of $285, less an income tax benefit of $234.
Net income for the three month period ended July 2002 decreased from $2,969 as
previously reported to $2,915 as restated and earnings per share remained
unchanged, as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of
$86 less an income tax benefit of $32.

Net income for the six-month period ended July 2001 decreased from $2,143 and
$.13 per share as previously reported to $883 and $.05 per share as restated as
a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of $448, cost of
sales of $1,194, integration costs of $358 less an income tax benefit of $740.
Net income for the six-month period ended July 2002 decreased from $4,671 as
previously reported to $4,563 as restated and earnings per share remained
unchanged, as a result of the recognition of additional compensation expense of
$172 less an income tax benefit of $64.


17











The consolidated balance sheet as of January 2002 has been restated to reflect
the effects of the adjustments described above. Retained earnings has been
decreased $3.3 million from $63.9 million as previously reported to $60.6
million as restated to recognize the cumulative effect of increased compensation
expense of $1.0 million, increased cost of sales of $1.2 million, increased
integration costs of $500, reduced goodwill amortization of $640, and increased
income tax expense of $1.2 million. Goodwill has been restated downward from
$134.1 million as previously reported to $131.8 million as restated principally
to reflect the reversal of compensation and integration costs included in the
purchase price allocation approximating $3.2 million, reclassify $2.2 million
of fair value adjustments and exit costs from accrued liabilities into goodwill,
to increase net deferred tax assets related to the acquisition of $1.9 million,
and to reduce accumulated amortization of goodwill by $640.

For the year ended January, 2001, net loss was increased by $1.8 million; net
loss per share was increased by $0.11, from ($0.09) as previously reported to
($0.20) as restated. For the year ended January, 2002, net income was reduced by
$1.48 million; earnings per share was reduced by $0.09, from $0.51 as previously
reported to $0.42 as restated.

Quarterly Review

Comparative amounts have been restated as discussed above.

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended October 26, 2002 decreased $4,370
over the same period a year ago. Sales through Consumer channels for the quarter
were flat compared to prior year. Consumer sales totaled 44.7% of the Company's
sales in the current quarter. Sales in Foodservice markets decreased 8.5% from
the third quarter of 2001 as the airline and hotel industries continue to be
soft. During the same period, International sales increased by 2.3%. The
International division accounted for 16.0% of the company's total third quarter
sales.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 32.4% in the third quarter of 2002
as compared to 31.8% for the same period of 2001. The increase in gross margin
this quarter is due to slightly improved performance in the company's
manufacturing plants.

Total operating expenses decreased by $1,545, or 4.5%, from the same quarter
last year. This decrease is attributable to the reduction of goodwill
amortization of $923, in accordance with the adoption of FAS #142, and continued
efforts to reduce operating costs. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses
were slightly lower than the same quarter last year at 26.5% compared to 26.8%.

Interest expense, prior to capitalized interest, was $4,072 for the quarter
ended October 26, 2002, a decrease of $1,766 from the same period last year.
This decrease is due to significantly lower average borrowings and lower
prevailing interest rates throughout the current quarter.

Year to date review

Comparative amounts have been restated as discussed above.

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended October 26, 2002 decreased
$24,358 from the same period a year ago, reflecting continuing softness in the
overall economy. Year to date, sales of consumer products have declined less
than 1% over the same period last year. This is mainly due to the performance of
the Encore supermarket division, which increased sales 48.6% over the first nine
months of 2001. Foodservice sales, which represent 42.9% of the company's total
2002 sales to date, decreased $19,055, or 11.2%, from the same period last year.
International sales decreased $4,379, or 7.1% from the nine months ended October
27, 2001. Sales in the International division represent 16.4% of the Company's
total through nine months of 2002.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of the
current year was 32.8% as compared to 32.8% for the same period of 2001. The low
gross margin in both 2002 and 2001 is primarily the result of unfavorable
factory variances as the company's manufacturing plants operated at a lower
capacity due to reduced demand.

Total operating expenses decreased by $7,188, or 7.0%, compared to the first
nine months of the prior year. This decrease is attributable to the reduction of
goodwill amortization of $2,815, in accordance with the adoption of FAS #142,
and continued efforts to reduce operating costs. As a percentage of sales,
operating expenses were 27.5% in the current year to date, compared to 27.6% in
2001.

Other income of $1,900 was reported for the nine months ended October 26, 2002
compared to expense of $161 for the same period last year (See Note 7).

Interest expense, prior to capitalized interest, was $12,004 for the nine months
ended October 26, 2002, a decrease of $7,082 from the same period in 2001. This
decrease is due to significantly lower average borrowings and lower prevailing
interest rates throughout the current year.

Liquidity & Financial Resources

A prime objective of the company since mid-2000 has been to strengthen its
balance sheet and reduce debt. During the first nine months of 2002, continued
progress was made toward these goals. Debt was reduced by approximately $16,000
in the nine-month period. Cash flow generated from operations for the nine
months ended October 26, 2002 was $5,321, as compared to $18,801 for the same
period in 2001 due primarily to increases in inventory resulting from declining
sales. During the first half of 2002, the company received approximately $8,400
from the sale of marketable equity securities. These proceeds were directly
applied to pay down debt. The Company spent approximately $6,800 in the first
nine months on capital projects focused primarily on its manufacturing
facilities. Capital spending for the remaining three months of the fiscal year
is anticipated to be approximately $2,200.

Included in the long-term debt caption on the balance sheet are various senior
notes. The note agreements relating thereto contain provisions which, among
other things require maintenance of certain financial ratios related to levels
of indebtedness, minimum net worth and interest coverage levels. The covenants
limit certain types of payments including dividends, capital expenditures,
intercompany indebtedness and letters of credit. Under the provisions of the
amended note agreements, at October 26, 2002, the company was able to declare
dividends of up to $375 per quarter.

Management believes there is sufficient liquidity to support the company's
funding requirements for the next year from future operations as well as the
unused bank lines of credit of $40 million. Working capital was $191,822 as of
October 26, 2002 as compared to $194,325 at January 26, 2002.

Due to the restated financial results for the 2001 fiscal year, the company was
not in compliance with certain of its loan covenants with respect to its senior
notes and revolving credit agreement. Waivers for the non-compliance have been
obtained from the company's lenders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The company's accounting policies are more fully described in Footnote 1 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report for the years
ended January 2002 and 2001 included in the January 26, 2002 Annual Report to
the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K filed in April, 2002. As
disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Future events and their effects
cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of
estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results occasionally will
differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

The most significant accounting estimates inherent on the preparation of the
company's financial statements includes estimates as to the recovery of accounts
receivable, inventory, goodwill, other long-lived assets and deferred tax
assets. Various assumptions and other factors underlie the determination of
these significant estimates. The process of determining significant estimates is
fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience,
current and expected economic conditions, product mix and actuarial
determinations. The Company re-evaluates these significant factors as facts and
circumstances dictate. Historically, actual results have not differed
significantly from those determined using the estimates described above.

21











The valuation of the company's pension, other post-retirement plans and self
insured workers compensation plan require the use of assumptions and estimates
that are used to develop actuarial valuations of expenses and
assets/liabilities. These assumptions include discount rates, investment
returns, projected salary increases and benefits, and mortality rates. The
actuarial assumptions used in the company's pension reporting are reviewed
annually and compared with external benchmarks to help assure that they
actuarially account for the company's future pension and other post-retirement
obligations. Changes in assumptions and future investment returns could
potentially have a material impact on pension expense and related funding
requirements.

The company offers various sales discounts and co-op advertising incentives to a
broad base of customers. These discounts and incentives, along with net freight
costs, are recorded as a reduction of sales. The company records accruals for
these discounts and incentives as sales occur. Management regularly reviews the
adequacy of the accruals based on current customer purchases. The amounts due to
customers are paid or deducted from accounts receivable balances throughout the
year.

Forward Looking Information

With the exception of historical data, the information contained in this Form
10-Q, as well as those other documents incorporated by reference herein, is
forward-looking. For the purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the company cautions readers that
changes in certain factors could affect the company's future results and could
cause the company's future consolidated results to differ materially from those
expressed herein. Such factors include, but are not limited to: general economic
conditions in the company's markets; difficulties or delays in the development,
production and marketing of new products; the impact of competitive products and
pricing; certain assumptions related to consumer purchasing patterns;
significant increases in interest rates or the level of the company's
indebtedness; major slowdowns in the retail, travel or entertainment industries;
the loss of several of the company's major customers; under utilization of the
company's plants and factories; the amount and rate of growth of the company's
selling, general and administrative expenses.

22











ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The company's market risk is impacted by changes in interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates. Pursuant to the company's policies, the company does
not hold or issue any significant derivative financial instruments.

The company's primary market risk is interest rate exposure in the United
States. Historically, the company manages interest rate exposure through a mix
of fixed and floating rate debt. The majority of the company's debt is currently
at floating rates. Based on floating rate borrowings outstanding at October
2002, a 1% change in the rate would result in a corresponding change in interest
expense of $2.3 million.

There have been no other material changes to the Company's disclosures related
to certain market risks as reported under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in the Annual Report of the Company
to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 26, 2002.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have carried out an
evaluation, with the participation of the company's management, of the design
and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined
in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act")) within 90 days of the date of this report. That evaluation
included consideration of those controls in light of the just completed review
of the Company's financial statements for the prior 8 quarters. Based upon that
evaluation, each has concluded that the Company's "disclosure controls and
procedures" are effective to insure that information required to be disclosed in
the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and regulations.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls, nor any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in such controls requiring corrective
actions, subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
