SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The
results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Refer to the notes in the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, for additional details of
the Company's financial condition and a description of the Company's
accounting policies. The accounting policies have been continued without
change except as a result of normal transactions in the interim and the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," discussed in Note 3 below.

3. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142,
the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and other intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives. Instead, the carrying value is evaluated for
impairment on an annual basis. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, the Company has
completed impairment testing as of December 31, 2001. Tests were performed
in accordance with accepted valuation techniques, yielding no goodwill
impairment.

The following tables reflect consolidated results as if the adoption of
SFAS No. 142 had occurred on January 1, 2001. Discontinued operations did
not have amortization for any period in the previous year; therefore,
separate disclosure for these operations was not presented.

------------- -------------- -------------
Total $ 391,939 $ 40,676 $ 351,263


Amortized intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists and
technology with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 19
years. Amortization of intangible assets was not significant during the
periods presented and the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each
of the five succeeding years is not anticipated to be significant.

4. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company acquired three businesses for
cash of $44.9 million. The businesses acquired were SynTec GmbH, a
manufacturer of specialty dyes and chemicals for the imaging industry, ECS
Specialty Inks and Dyes, a producer and marketer of inks for specialty
printing applications and the flavors and essential oil operations of C.
Melchers GmbH & Company. The Company may be required to pay up to 4.6
million Euro ($4.5 million) of additional cash consideration for the 2002
acquisitions subject to specific performance targets in the first two years
following the acquisitions. The Company is in the process of measuring the
identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to these acquisitions.

5. Expenses are charged to operations in the year incurred. However, for
interim reporting purposes, certain expenses are charged to operations
based on an estimate rather than as expenses are actually incurred.

6. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, inventories included finished and
in-process products totaling $176.1 million and $173.2 million,
respectively, and raw materials and supplies of $68.0 million and $67.7
million, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased by 17.5% to
$239.6 million from $203.9 million for the comparable quarter of 2001.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, revenue increased by 13.3% to
$452.7 million. Revenue for the Flavors and Fragrances segment
increased by 10.2% for the quarter and by 8.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 over the comparable periods last year. The Color segment
increased revenue by 26.5% for the quarter and by 20.5% for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 over the comparable periods last year.
Additional information on group results can be found in the Segment
Information section.

Gross profit increased by 12.0% and by 12.1% for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the same
periods in the prior year. The increase in gross profit resulted from
higher revenue and realized cost savings from the cost improvement
programs that began in December 2000.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue decreased
to 16.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 19.0% in
the comparable period of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002,
selling and administrative costs as a percent of revenue decreased to
17.2% versus 19.3% in the comparable period of 2001. For both the three
and six month periods, the improvement came as a result of revenue
growth, realized cost savings and the mandatory adoption of SFAS No.
142. On a comparable basis, assuming SFAS No. 142 had been adopted in
2001, selling and administrative expense, as a percent of revenue,
would have been 17.9% and 18.1% for the three and six months ended June
30, 2001, respectively.

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $38.7
million, an increase of 23.9% from $31.3 million last year. For the six
months ended June 30, 2002, operating income increased 27.5% to $71.3
million from $55.9 million in the same period last year. The increase
in operating income for the three and six month periods was driven by
the combination of higher revenue and realized cost savings. The
adoption of SFAS No. 142 also increased operating income by $2.3
million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002, respectively. On a comparable basis, assuming SFAS No. 142 had
been adopted in 2001, operating income would have increased by 15.5%
and 18.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002,
respectively. Favorable foreign exchange rates during the quarter
increased both revenue and operating income by approximately 1%. For
the six months ended June 30, 2002, foreign exchange rate impact was
minimal.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002, was constant
at $7.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, interest
expense was $15.2 million, a decrease of 7.7% versus the comparable
period last year. The decrease was a result of lower interest rates
more than offsetting a higher average amount of debt.

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations was 32.0% and
22.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 included a
benefit from the adoption of SFAS No. 142 and other nominal
adjustments. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2001
was reduced due to an adjustment related to the expected settlement of
certain tax liabilities. Without the 2001 adjustment and reflecting the
effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 in 2001, the 2001 second quarter
effective tax rate would have been 31.0%. For the six months ended June
30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 the tax rate was 32.0% and 25.7%,
respectively. Without the 2001 adjustments and reflecting the effect of
adopting SFAS No. 142 in 2001, the 2001 effective tax rate for the six
months ending June 30, 2001 would have been 30.8%.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 23, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially
all the assets of its Red Star Yeast business. A gain from the sale of
the business and its results through February 23, 2001 were included
net of tax in a separate line item "Earnings from discontinued
operations" on the statements of earnings.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Flavors & Fragrances - The Flavors & Fragrances segment reported a
10.2% increase in revenue, to $147.4 million for the second quarter of
2002 compared to $133.7 million for the same period last year. The
majority of the revenue increase was a result of double-digit growth in
fragrances and in dehydrated and beverage flavors. The March 2002
acquisition of the flavors and essential oil operations of C. Melchers
GmbH & Company also contributed to the increase in revenue for the
quarter. Operating income increased 31.9% to $23.7 million for the
second quarter of 2002 compared with $18.0 million in the same period
last year. Operating margins improved 260 basis points, to 16.1%, as a
result of higher volumes and lower selling and administrative expenses
from the cost improvement programs that began in December 2000. For the
six months ended June 30, 2002, revenue increased 8.9% to $281.2
million. Operating income increased 38.8% to $42.7 million from $30.7
million for the same period in 2001, due to items previously mentioned.

Color - Revenue for the Color segment increased by 26.5% to $87.2
million in the second quarter of 2002 versus $69.0 million in the year
ago period. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's
recently acquired specialty ink and dye businesses, as well as growth
in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and natural color product lines. Gains
in these areas were offset by softness in sales to food and beverage
customers. Operating income in the second quarter of 2002 was $20.6
million versus $18.9 million from the 2001 second quarter. Operating
income as a percent of revenue was 23.6% compared to 27.4% for the
comparable quarter last year. The decrease as a percent of revenue
reflects newly acquired businesses that have not yet been integrated,
softness in the food and beverage product lines, and a change in mix
when compared to the record margins in last year's second quarter.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased by 20.5%, due
to the items previously mentioned. Operating income increased by 9.9%
to $38.3 million, compared to $34.9 million for the same period in
2001, due to the items previously mentioned.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's ratio of debt to total capital was 52.0% as of June 30,
2002, down from 53.3% as of December 31, 2001. The decrease resulted
from an increase in shareholders' equity during the six months that was
nearly twice the increase in debt. The current ratio was 2.1x at June
30, 2002, relatively flat compared with 2.2x at December 31, 2001.

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was
$50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $16.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The $34.5 million
increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to
increased earnings and improvements in net working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities was $53.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $91.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Cash used in investing activities in 2002 included acquisitions of
$43.4 million and capital expenditures of $13.3 million. Net cash
provided by investing activities in 2001 included cash proceeds from
the sale of the Red Star Yeast division of $108.7 million, which was
partially offset by capital expenditures of $16.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, compared with cash used in financing
activities of $104.8 million in the comparable period the prior year.
Net borrowings in 2002 of $2.7 million were limited as cash flows from
operations were primarily used to fund acquisitions and capital
projects. During 2001, cash proceeds from the sale of the Red Star
Yeast business were used to fund a net reduction of borrowings of $69.6
million and treasury stock purchases of $30.9 million. Dividends of
$12.6 million and $12.8 million were paid during the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company's financial position remains strong, its expected cash
flows from operations and existing lines of credit can be used to meet
future cash requirements for operations, capital expansion programs and
dividend payments to shareholders.
