STEINER LEISURE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:


The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and the Company's other filings with the SEC.

(2)

ORGANIZATION:


Steiner Leisure Limited (including its subsidiaries where the context requires, the "Company" or "Steiner Leisure") is a worldwide provider of spa services. The Company, incorporated in the Bahamas, commenced operations effective November 1995 with the contributions of substantially all of the assets and certain of the liabilities of the Maritime Division (the "Maritime Division") of Steiner Group Limited, now known as STGR Limited ("Steiner Group"), a U.K. company and an affiliate of the Company, and all of the outstanding common stock of Coiffeur Transocean (Overseas), Inc. ("CTO"), a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Steiner Group. The contributions of the net assets of the Maritime Division and CTO were recorded at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.

In February 1999, the Company began operating the luxury health spa at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in The Bahamas (the "Atlantis Spa"). In connection with the operation of the spa, the Company paid the resort's owner the greater of a minimum monthly rental and an amount based on our revenues at the spa. In December 2000, Sun International Bahamas Limited ("Sun International"), the operator of the Atlantis Resort, exercised its option to buy out the remaining term of the Company's lease. Effective January 31, 2001, the Company no longer offered its services and products at the Atlantis Spa. The Company received $5.0 million from Sun International as consideration for the leasehold improvements made by the Company and did not recognize any gain or loss in connection with the buy-out. Commencing in July 2001, with the acquisition of a 60% interest in Mandara Spa LLC, the Company again began to offer services and products at the Atlantis Spa.

On July 3, 2001, the Company purchased a 60% equity interest of each of Mandara Spa LLC and Mandara Spa Asia Limited (collectively referred to as "Mandara Spa"). Effective March 1, 2002, the Company's equity interest in Mandara Spa LLC was increased to 80%. Mandara Spa operates spas in more than 50 locations worldwide, principally in Asia and the Pacific, the United States and the Caribbean. Mandara Spa also provides spa services for Silverseas Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Orient Lines.

On July 12, 2001, the Company purchased the assets of GH Day Spas, Inc. and related entities, which assets, collectively, constitute 11 luxury day spas located at various locations within the United States, and include the "Greenhouse" mark. Additionally, on July 31, 2001, the Company purchased the shares of DK Partners, Inc., which operates six day spas located in California.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   

(a)

Marketable Securities


Marketable securities consist of investment grade commercial paper. The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and, accordingly, all such instruments are classified as "available for sale" securities which are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

(b)

Goodwill


Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill arising prior to July 1, 2001 was amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 years. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company continually evaluated intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances indicated that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When factors indicated that the assets acquired in a purchase business combination and the related goodwill may be impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment loss if the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or acquired business) were less than the carrying value of the related asset.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 16, "Business Combinations" and SFAS 38 "Accounting for Pre-acquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises". All business combinations in the scope of SFAS 141 are to be accounted for under the purchase method. SFAS 141 was effective July 1, 2001. The Company's acquisitions of Mandara Spa, GH Day Spas, Inc. and DK Partners, Inc. were accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 141. Other than the discontinuation of the amortization of goodwill, adoption of SFAS 141 with respect to acquisitions made prior to July 1, 2001, did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. All intangible assets other than goodwill acquired and assigned value in connection with pre-July 2001 acquisitions meet the recognition criteria specified by SFAS 141, and therefore will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

In July 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) at acquisition. SFAS 142 also addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. With the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The impairment loss is the amount, if any, by which the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying or book value. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Impairment loss for goodwill arising from the initial application of SFAS 142 is to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted SFAS 142 on Jan uary 1, 2002. During the second quarter, the Company completed its assessment of its intangible assets and has written-off $29.6 million of intangible assets. An independent valuation firm was used to perform the test. These intangibles primarily consist of goodwill related to our July 2001 acquisitions of the GH Day Spas, Inc. and DK Partners, Inc. The write-off has been accounted for as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and has been recorded effective January 1, 2002.

The following pro forma information presents net income and basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted to exclude amounts no longer being amortized, as if the adoption of SFAS No. 142 had occurred on January 1, 2001:

Income Taxes


The Company files a consolidated tax return for its domestic subsidiaries. In addition, our foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in their respective countries of incorporation, where required. The Company follows SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 utilizes the liability method and deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. SFAS 109 permits the recognition of deferred tax assets. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on the changes to the asset or liability from period to period. For any partnership interest, the Company records its allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the partnership.

(d)

Translation of Foreign Currencies


Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, including intercompany transactions, are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The majority of the Company's income is generated outside of the United States. The transaction gains (losses) reflected in administrative expenses were approximately $(252,000) and ($30,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively, and approximately $(175,000) and $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Earnings per share


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes dilutive common share equivalents such as share options. The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

During the second quarter, 5,700 stock options of the Steiner Education Group, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan were considered to be dilutive common share equivalents. As a result, the numerator used in calculating earnings per share has been reduced by $20,000 and $41,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. In 2001, their impact was anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement


In August, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and APB 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of the Disposal of a Segment Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for assets to be disposed of by sale whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS 144 retains the provisions of APB 30 for presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement, but broadens the presentation to include a component of an entity. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and the interim periods within. The adoption of SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

ACQUISITIONS:


On July 3, 2001, the Company purchased a 60% equity interest in Mandara Spa. The Company paid $29.4 million in cash, $7.0 million in subordinated debt, $10.6 million in common shares and assumed $4.1 million of subordinated indebtedness. The selling parties have guaranteed certain income levels for an eighteen month period. If the income levels are not achieved, then amounts owed on the subordinated debt are reduced on a pro rata basis. As the subordinated debt is considered contingent consideration, it has not been reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Effective March 1, 2002, the Company acquired an additional 20% interest in Mandara Spa LLC for consideration of approximately $7.3 million.

On July 12, 2001, the Company purchased the assets of GH Day Spas, Inc. The Company paid $24.8 million in cash and $4.3 million in common shares. In addition, $3.0 million of, and 200,000 common shares options can be earned by the sellers if certain income levels are obtained.

On July 31, 2001, the Company purchased the shares of DK Partners, Inc. The Company paid $5.5 million in cash and assumed $1.8 million of subordinated indebtedness. In addition, $3.0 million in cash can be earned by the sellers if certain income levels are obtained.

(5)

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT:


On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, requires the recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged items affect earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings.

10


 

Effective September 28, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to market risks from changing interest rates. Under the swap agreement, the Company agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to a notional principal amount. Any differences paid or received on interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. The Company does not hold or issue such financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

The Company's interest rate swap has a notional amount of $21.1 million and a maturity of two years. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion of the Company's LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings into fixed rate borrowings with a pay rate of 7.68%. The Company recorded a loss of $298,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2002. There was no gain or loss on the swap as a result of ineffectiveness. Prepayment of the loan, changes in counterparty credit worthiness and changing market conditions could result in the reclassification into earnings of gains and losses that are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In connection with the interest rate swap, approximately $382,000 in losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

In July 2001, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a term loan of $45 million and a revolving facility of up to $10 million. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and bear interest primarily at London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") based rates plus a spread that is dependent upon the Company's financial performance. Borrowings

11


 

under the term loan were used to fund acquisitions (see Note 4), and borrowings under the revolving facility have been used for working capital needs. The maturity date of the revolving and term loans is July 2, 2004. The interest rate as of June 30, 2002 was 5.55% for the term loan and the revolver. As of June 30, 2002, there was no availability under the revolving facility.

The credit agreement contains customary, negative and financial and other affirmative covenants, including limitations on dividends, capital expenditures and funded debt, and requirements to maintain prescribed interest expense and fixed charge coverage ratios.

The note payable is due to the minority interest owner of Mandara Spa. The note bears interest at 9%, has interest payments due quarterly and matures on January 2, 2005.

The amount due to former shareholder totals $1,211,000 net of a discount of $39,000. The amount due is non-interest bearing and, as a result, is discounted using an interest rate of 7%. Payments of $313,000 are due over four equal quarterly installments beginning on June 30, 2002.

All of the long-term debt is denominated in US dollars.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


General

Steiner Leisure Limited is a worldwide provider of spa services. We sell our services and products to cruise passengers and, commencing in July 2001, at day and resort spas primarily in the United States, the Caribbean, the Pacific and Asia. Payments to cruise lines are based on a percentage of our passenger revenues and, in certain cases, a minimum annual rental or a combination of both. We also sell our services and products through land-based channels. From February 1999 through January 2001, we offered services and products similar to those we offer on cruise ships at the luxury spa at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in The Bahamas. Commencing in July 2001, with our acquisition of a 60% interest in Mandara Spas, we began again to offer our services and products at the Atlantis Spa. Also, in 1999, we began offering post-secondary degree and non-degree programs in massage therapy, skin care and related areas at our school (comprised of four campuses) in Florida. In 2000, we began offering post-secondary degree and non-degree programs in massage therapy at our two schools (currently comprised of four campuses) in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. In November 2001, we began operating a luxury spa facility at the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. In April 2002, we began operating a luxury spa facility at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT.

In July 2001, the Company completed the acquisitions of Mandara Spa (July 3, 2001), GH Day Spas, Inc. (July 12, 2001) and DK Partners, Inc. (July 31, 2001). These transactions were accounted for under the purchase method and accordingly, our financial results include the results of the acquired entities subsequent to their acquisitions.

Steiner Leisure and Steiner Transocean Limited, our subsidiary that conducts our shipboard operations, are Bahamas international business companies ("IBCs"). The Bahamas does not tax Bahamas IBCs. Under current legislation, we believe that income from our maritime operations will be foreign source income that will not be subject to United States, United Kingdom or other taxation. A significant portion of our income for the first half of 2002 was not subject to taxes in the United States or other jurisdictions. Earnings from Steiner Training and Elemis Limited, our United Kingdom subsidiaries, are subject to U.K. tax rates (generally up to 31%). The income from our United States subsidiaries, Steiner Beauty Products, Inc. (which sells products in the U.S.), Steiner Management Services, LLC (which performs administrative services) Steiner Day Spas, Inc. and Greenhouse Day Spa Group Inc. (which run our day spas through their subsidiaries), Steiner Spa Resorts (Nevada), Inc. (which runs t he spa at the Aladdin Resort), Steiner Spa Resorts (Connecticut), Inc. (which runs the spa at the Mohegan Sun Casino) and Steiner Education Group, Inc. (which runs our schools through its subsidiaries) will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates (generally up to 35%) and may be subject to additional U.S. federal, state and local taxes. Steiner Spa Limited and Steiner Spa Asia Limited own an 80% and 60% partnership interest in Mandara Spa LLC and Mandara Spa Asia Limited, respectively. These subsidiaries pay taxes in certain taxable jurisdictions.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 14 on Form 10-K, beginning on page F-1. Note that our preparation of this Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assump tions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Cost of revenues includes:

Cost of revenues may be affected by, among other things, sales mix, production levels, changes in supplier prices and discounts, purchasing and manufacturing efficiencies, tariffs, duties, freight and inventory costs. Certain cruise line agreements provide for increases in the percentages of services and products revenues payable to the cruise lines and/or, as the case may be, the amount of minimum annual commissions over the terms of such agreements. These payments may also be increased under new agreements with cruise lines and land-based lessors that replace expiring agreements. In general, Steiner Leisure has experienced increases in these payments as a percentage of revenues upon entering into new agreements with cruise lines.

Cost of products includes the cost of products sold through our various methods of distribution. To a lesser extent, cost of products also includes the cost of products consumed in rendering services. This amount would not be a material component of the cost of services rendered and would not be practicable to identify separately.

Operating expenses include administrative expenses, salary and payroll taxes. In addition, operating expenses included amortization of intangibles relating to our acquisitions of day spas and resort spas in 2001.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. At certain properties, leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term which includes renewal periods, at our option, that were considered significant to the continuation of the Company's operations and to the existence of leasehold improvements whose value would be impaired by the Company discontinuing use of the leased property. We perform ongoing evaluations of the estimated useful lives of our property and equipment for depreciation purposes. The estimated useful lives are determined and continually evaluated based on the period over which services are expected to be rendered by the asset, industry practice and asset maintenance policies. Maintenance and repair items are expensed as incurred.

15


Goodwill

We continually evaluate whether events and changes in circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives or recognition of an impairment loss of unamortized goodwill. The conditions that would trigger an impairment assessment of unamortized goodwill include a significant negative trend in our operating results or cash flows, a decrease in demand for our services, a change in the competitive environment and other industry and economic factors. We measure impairment of unamortized goodwill utilizing the undiscounted cash flow method over the remaining estimated life. Any impairment loss would be calculated as the amount which the carrying amount of the unamortized balance exceeds its fair value.

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142") on January 1, 2002. We had recorded approximately $370,000 of amortization on these amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and would have recorded approximately $370,000 of amortization during the same period in 2002. In lieu of amortization, we are required to perform an initial impairment review of our goodwill in 2002 and an annual impairment review thereafter. During the second quarter, the Company completed its assessment of its intangible assets and has written-off $29.6 million of intangible assets. Those intangibles primarily consist of goodwill related to our July 2001 acquisitions of the GH Day Spas, Inc. and DK Partners, Inc. The write-off has been accounted for as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and has been recorded effective January 1, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, we had unamor tized goodwill and intangibles of $48.3 million.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves us estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $11.9 million as of June 30, 2002, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize some of our deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses carried forward before they expire. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to establish an additional valuation allowance which could impact our financial position and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 16, "Business Combinations" and SFAS 38 "Accounting for Pre-acquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises". All business combinations in the scope of SFAS 141 are to be accounted for under the purchase method. SFAS 141 was effective July 1, 2001. The Company's acquisitions of Mandara Spa, GH Day Spas, Inc. and DK Partners, Inc. were accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 141. Other than the discontinuation of the amortization of goodwill, adoption of SFAS 141 with respect to acquisitions made prior to July 1, 2001, did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. All intangible assets other than goodwill acquired and assigned value in connection with pre-July 1 , 2001 acquisitions meet the recognition criteria specified by SFAS 141, and therefore will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

In July 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) at acquisition. SFAS 142 also addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. With the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The impairment loss is the amount, if any, by which the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying or book value. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Impairment loss for goodwill arising from the initial application of SFAS 142 is to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. During the second quarter, the Comp any completed its assessment of its intangible assets and has written-off $29.6 million of intangible assets. An independent valuation firm was used to perform the test. Those intangibles primarily consist of goodwill related to our July 2001 acquisitions of the GH Day Spas, Inc. and DK Partners, Inc. The write-off has been accounted for as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and has been recorded effective January 1, 2002.

In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and APB 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of the Disposal of a Segment Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for assets to be disposed of by sale whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS 144 retains the provisions of APB 30 for presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement, but broadens the presentation to include a component of an entity. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and the interim periods within. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Revenues. Revenues increased approximately 52.3%, or $22.2 million, to $64.7 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $42.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. Of this increase, $17.9 million was attributable to an increase in services revenues and $4.3 million was attributable to an increase in products revenues. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to our new land-based operations acquired in July 2001 and to an average of eight additional spa ships in service in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001. We had an average of 1,159 shipboard staff members in service in the second quarter of 2002 compared to an average of 1,085 shipboard staff members in service in the second quarter of 2001. Revenues per shipboard staff per day increased by 8.1% to $389 in the second quarter of 2002 from $360 in the second quarter of 2001.

18


Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $17.4 million from $20.5 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $37.9 million in the second quarter of 2002. Cost of services as a percentage of services revenue increased to 84.6% in the second quarter of 2002 from 76.2% in the second quarter of 2001. These increases were due to the higher cost of services incurred in our new day spa operations and increases in commissions allocable on cruise ships covered by agreements that provide for increases in payments in 2002 compared to 2001.

Cost of Products. Cost of products increased $3.4 million from $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $15.0 million in the second quarter of 2002. Cost of products as a percentage of products revenue increased to 75.6% in the second quarter of 2002 from 74.8% in the second quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily due to increases in commissions allocable to products sales on cruise ships covered by agreements which provide for increases in payments in 2002 compared to 2001.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $3.0 million from $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2002. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 11.5% in the second quarter of 2002 from 10.6% in the second quarter of 2001. These increases were due to the operating expenses and intangible amortization at our newly acquired resort spa and day spa operations which were not owned by us during the second quarter of 2001. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in goodwill amortization as a result of the impact of a new accounting principle.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) decreased $1.4 million from income of $.4 million in the second quarter of 2001 to expense of $1.0 million in second quarter of 2002. The decrease in other income (expense) was due to the increase in interest expense in 2002 as a result of our debt financing obligations, pursuant to a credit agreement which we entered into in connection with our July 2001 acquisitions, which was not in place in during the second quarter of 2001.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $.1 million from $.3 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $.2 million in the second quarter of 2002. The provision for income taxes increased to an overall effective rate of 6.0% in the second quarter of 2002 from an overall effective rate of 4.4% for the second quarter of 2001 primarily due to the income earned in jurisdictions that tax our income being greater than our income earned in jurisdictions that do not tax our income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Revenues. Revenues increased approximately 50.8%, or $42.4 million, to $125.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $83.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Of this increase, $34.3 million was attributable to an increase in services revenues and $8.1 million was attributable to an increase in products revenues. The increase in revenues in the first half of 2002 was primarily attributable to our new land-based operations acquired in July 2001 and to an average of nine additional spa ships in service. We had an average of 1,152 shipboard staff members in service during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to an average of 1,070 shipboard staff members during the six months ended June 30, 2001. Revenues per shipboard staff per day increased by 7.5% to $386 in the first half of 2002 compared to the comparable period of 2001.

Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $33.4 million from $40.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $73.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of services as a percentage of services revenue increased to 84.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 75.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2001. These increases were due to the higher cost of services incurred in our new day spa operations and increases in commissions allocable on cruise ships covered by agreements that provide for increases in payments in the first half of 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Cost of Products. Cost of products increased $6.4 million from $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of products as a percentage of products revenue increased to 75.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 74.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to increases in commissions allocable to products sales on cruise ships covered by agreements which provide for increases in payments in the first half of 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year.

19


Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $5.9 million from $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 11.8% in the first half of 2002 from 10.7% in the first half of 2001. These increases were due to the operating expenses and intangible amortization at our newly acquired resort spa and day spa operations which were not owned by us during the first half of 2001. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in goodwill amortization as a result of the impact of a new accounting principle.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) decreased $2.9 million from income of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to expense of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in other income (expense) was due to the increase in interest expense in the first half of 2002 as a result of our debt financing obligations, pursuant to a credit agreement which we entered into in connection with our July 2001 acquisitions, which was not in place in during the first half of 2001.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $.3 million from $.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $.3 million for the six months ended 2002. The provision for income taxes increased to an overall effective rate of 5.8% for the first half of 2002 from an overall effective rate of 4.6% for the first half of 2001 primarily due to the income earned in jurisdictions that tax our income being greater than our income earned in jurisdictions that do not tax our income.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle. During the second quarter, in accordance with SFAS 142 the Company has written-off $29.6 million in intangible assets. These intangibles primarily consist of goodwill related to our July 2001 acquisitions of the GH Day Spas, Inc. and the DK Partners, Inc. The write-off has been accounted for as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and has been recorded effective January 1, 2002.

Seasonality

Although certain cruise lines have experienced moderate seasonality, we believe that the introduction of cruise ships into service throughout a year has mitigated the effect of seasonality on our results of operations. In addition, decreased passenger loads during slower months for the cruise industry has not had a significant impact on our revenues. However, due to our dependence on the cruise industry, revenues may in the future be affected by seasonality.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operating activities during the first six months of 2002 was $3.3 million compared to $9.0 million for the first six months of 2001.

Steiner Leisure had working capital of approximately $1.0 million at June 30, 2002 compared to a deficit of $(2.8) million at December 31, 2001.

In connection with the construction of the Atlantis Spa, we spent $2.5 million in 1999 and $3.1 million in 1998. These $5.6 million in capital expenditures were to be amortized over the fifteen-year term of our arrangement with the Atlantis Resort. Effective January 31, 2001, the operator of the Atlantis Resort exercised its option to buy out the remaining term of our lease and, as a result, effective January 31, 2001 we no longer offered our services and products at the Atlantis Spa. In connection with that buy-out we received $5.0 million from the operator of the Atlantis Resort and did not recognize any gain or loss. Commencing in July 2001, with our acquisition of a 60% interest in Mandara Spas (described below), we began again to offer products and services at the Atlantis Spa.

On October 19, 2000, Steiner Leisure entered into an agreement to build and operate a luxury spa facility at the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. That luxury spa opened in November 2001. The term of the lease of the facilities is 15 years with a five-year renewal option if certain sales levels are achieved. The build-out of the luxury spa cost approximately $13.1 million. The build-out was funded from our working capital and a term loan. The operator of the Aladdin Resort and Casino has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and continues to conduct its operations. The Company has taken steps in the bankruptcy court to protect its leasehold interest at the resort. We cannot assure you that the Company's operations at the Aladdin Resort and Casino will not be adversely affected by Aladdin's bankruptcy filing.

20


On July 3, 2001, the Company purchased a 60% equity interest in each of Mandara Spa LLC and Mandara Spa Asia Limited (collectively referred to as "Mandara Spa"). Mandara Spa operates spas in more than 50 locations worldwide, principally in Asia and the Pacific, the United States and the Caribbean. Mandara Spa also provides spa services for Silversea Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Orient Lines.

In connection with the Mandara Spa acquisition, the Company paid $29.4 million in cash, $7.0 million in subordinated debt, $10.6 million in common shares and assumed $4.1 million of subordinated indebtedness and the selling equityholders have guaranteed certain income levels for an 18-month period. If the income levels are not achieved, then, amounts owed on the subordinated debt are reduced on a pro rata basis. We issued to the selling equityholders subordinated notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7.0 million, and which have an interest rate of 9% per annum and a maturity date of January 2, 2005 (the "Notes"). The Notes are subordinate in right of payment to Steiner's senior credit facility. Interest on the $1.4 million of the Notes issued to the former shareholders of Mandara Spa Asia Limited (the "Mandara-Asia Notes") accrues, and is payable, quarterly. Interest on the $5.6 million of the Notes issued to the former members of Mandara Spa LLC (the "M andara-US Notes") accrues quarterly, but is payable on the maturity date. Amounts due under the Notes (both principal and interest) must be "earned" by Mandara Spa LLC and/or Mandara Spa Asia Limited, as applicable, by generating income in the post-acquisition period. Interest on the Mandara-US Notes is not payable until the end of the earnout period. Hence, if not "earned," no interest or principal will be due on these Notes. Interest on the Mandara-Asia Notes accrues, and is payable, quarterly. However, if Mandara Spa Asia Limited fails to meet the earnout threshold, all interest payments previously paid to the former shareholders of Mandara Spa Asia Limited are required to be repaid to Steiner Leisure by such former shareholders. Because principal and interest due under the Mandara-US Notes, and the repayment of principal of the Mandara-Asia Notes are not payable until after the settlement of the earnout contingency, and if the earnout is not met, the notes are cancelable an d any interest payments previously paid to the former shareholders of Mandara Spa Asia Limited will be repaid to Steiner Leisure, Steiner Leisure has not recorded any purchase price (goodwill) related to the Notes. When the contingency is resolved, the settlement amount of the Notes and related interest, if any, will be recorded as a component of purchase price.

After our acquisition of Mandara Spa we incurred approximately $7.3 million from July 2001 through March 31, 2002 in connection with the completion of the build-out of certain luxury spa facilities to be operated under the Mandara name.

On July 12, 2001, the Company purchased the assets of GH Day Spas, Inc. and other related entities, which assets, collectively, constituted eleven luxury day spas located at various locations within the United States, and the "Greenhouse" mark. In connection with that transaction, the Company paid $24.8 million in cash and $4.3 million in common shares. In addition, $3.0 million of common shares and 200,000 common shares purchase options can be earned by the sellers if certain income levels are obtained.

On July 31, 2001, the Company purchased the shares of DK Partners, Inc., which operates six day spas located in California. In connection with that transaction, the Company paid $5.5 million in cash and assumed $1.8 million of indebtedness. In addition, $3.0 million in cash can be earned by the sellers if certain income levels are obtained.

The above transactions were accounted for under the purchase method.

In order to finance these acquisitions, in July 2001, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a term loan of $45 million and a revolving facility of up to $10 million. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and bear interest primarily at London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") based rates plus a spread that is dependent upon the Company's financial performance. Borrowings under the term loan were used to fund acquisitions and under the revolving facility have been used for working capital needs. As of June 30, 2002, $31.3 million was outstanding under the term loan and approximately $9.8 million was outstanding under the revolving facility. At June 30, 2002, the effective rates on the term loan and revolving facility were approximately 5.55%. As of June 30, 2002, there was no availability under the revolving facility as the remaining balance has been utilized to support various letters of credit.

The credit agreement contains customary negative and financial and other affirmative covenants, including limitations on dividends, capital expenditures and funded debt, and requirements to maintain prescribed interest expense and fixed charge coverage ratios.

21


Effective September 28, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to market risks from changing interest rates. Under the swap agreement, the Company agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to a notional principal amount. Any differences paid or received on interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. The Company does not hold or issue such financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

The interest rate swap has a notional amount of $21.1 million and a maturity of two years. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion of the Company's LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings into fixed rate borrowings with a pay rate of 7.68%. The Company recorded a loss of $298,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2002.

We believe that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy the cash required to operate our business for the next twelve months. To the extent that general economic conditions deteriorate, there is a significant slow-down in travel or there is another terrorist attack or other national or international crisis, our business could be materially adversely affected and cash generated from operations may not satisfy the cash required to operate our business. In that case we would need outside financing which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Inflation and Economic Conditions

Steiner Leisure does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse effect on revenues or results of operations. However, public demand for activities, including cruises, is influenced by general economic conditions, including inflation. Periods of economic recession or high inflation, particularly in North America where a number of cruise passengers reside, could have a material effect on the cruise industry upon which we are dependent. The current softness of the economy in North America and elsewhere and industry analysts concerns with respect to over-capacity could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements relate to management's belief that cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to satisfy the cash required to operate our business,  the extent of the taxability of our income, and reclassification of certain losses in connection with our hedge transaction.

22


Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include the following:

We assume no duty to update any forward-looking statements. The risks to which we are subject are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-76436) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's major market risk exposure is changing interest rates. The Company's policy is to manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate derivatives based upon market conditions. The Company's objective in managing the exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage net exposure to interest rate changes to its borrowings. These swaps are entered into with a group of financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, thereby minimizing the risk of credit loss. The item described below is non-trading.

Effective September 28, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to market risks from changing interest rates. Under the swap agreement, the Company agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to a notional principal amount. Any differences paid or received on interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. The Company does not hold or issue such financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

The interest rate swap has a notional amount of $21.1 million and a maturity of two years. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion of the Company's LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings into fixed rate borrowings with a pay rate of 7.68%. The Company recorded a loss of $298,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2002.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

   

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

In September 2001, the landlord from whom we rent the space for our Greenhouse Day Spa in New York City informed us that it was terminating our lease for that property. In response, in October 2001, we filed a request for an injunction in the Supreme Court of New York, seeking to prevent that termination. The landlord's action was based on the landlord's claim that the assignment to us of the lease in connection with our acquisition of the Greenhouse Day Spas in July 2001 was improper. The injunction request was denied, so the action is currently pending and we continue to operate that spa on the premises in question. While we believe that we have valid defenses to the landlord's action, we cannot assure you that we will prevail in this action. If the court rules in favor of the landlord in this action, we could be required to vacate our New York Greenhouse Spa premises. Alternatively, we may be required, as a result of a settlement with the landlord or otherwise, to increase the amo unt of rent payable to the landlord. In either of these events our Greenhouse Day Spa operations could be materially, adversely affected.
