NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Del
Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for
a full year.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented in
its 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. Users of financial information
produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes
contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders when reviewing interim
financial results.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial
statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company
for interim periods.

========= =========
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
------------------
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders (which for the Company equals its recorded net income)
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such
as stock options, were exercised, converted into common stock or otherwise
resulted in the issuance of common stock.
On November 15, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 2% stock
dividend. As a result, 147,581 shares of treasury stock were issued on
December 28, 1999 to shareholders of record on November 30, 1999.
Accordingly, the weighted average common shares outstanding in the
consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, have been restated to reflect the dividend.

465,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, were not included in the net earnings (loss) per share
because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
--------------------
As a result of stock options exercised on July 27, 2000, the excess of the
cost of treasury shares over the exercise price of options exercised was
recorded as a reduction of $752,000 to additional paid-in capital and a
reduction of $828,000 to retained earnings. The income tax benefit from
stock options exercised was $625,000 and $501,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. The benefit
was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
-------------------
The Company operates in two segments, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical, that
have been organized by the products and services they offer. The Cosmetic
segment's principal products are nail care, nail color, color cosmetics,
beauty implements, bleaches and depilatories, personal care products and
other related cosmetic items. The Pharmaceutical segment's principal
products are proprietary oral analgesics, acne treatment products and
first aid products. The accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on
operating income. Certain assets, including property, plant and equipment
and deferred tax assets, are not allocated to the identifiable segments;
depreciation of unallocated assets are charged to the Cosmetic segment.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
(1) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
SECOND QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VERSUS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------
NET SALES
---------
Net sales for the third quarter of 2000 were $77.7 million, an increase of
20% compared to $64.6 million in 1999. Net sales for the first nine months
of 2000 were $221.7 million, an increase of 12.6% compared to $196.9
million in 1999.
Cosmetic net sales for the third quarter of 2000 were $60.0 million, an
increase of 23.9% compared to $48.4 million in 1999. Cosmetic net sales
for the first nine months of 2000 were $172.9 million, an increase of
15.3% compared to $149.9 million in 1999. The increase is due primarily to
volume growth in the Sally Hansen family and N.Y.C. New York Color brands,
together with lower product returns.
Pharmaceutical net sales for the third quarter of 2000 were $17.7 million,
an increase of 9.3% compared to $16.2 million in 1999. Pharmaceutical net
sales for the first nine months of 2000 were $48.9 million, an increase of
4.0% compared to $47.0 million in 1999. The increase is due primarily to
volume growth in the Orajel brand and the Dermarest Psoriasis brand
launched earlier in the year.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
------------------
Cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2000 were $34.8 million, or
44.8% of net sales, as compared to $34.7 million, or 53.8% of net sales in
1999. Cost of goods sold for the first nine months of 2000 were $98.1
million, or 44.3% of net sales, as compared to $93.2 million, or 47.4% of
net sales in 1999. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net
sales is primarily attributable to lower product returns. Additionally,
the third quarter of 1999 included an increase of $4.5 million in the
inventory valuation reserve to reflect the estimated market value of the
Naturistics inventory pursuant to the Company's plan to reduce excess and
slow moving inventory of such brands.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
-----------------------------------
Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2000 were
$38.6 million, or 49.8% of net sales, as compared to $37.3 million, or
57.7% of net sales in 1999. Selling and administrative expenses for the
first nine months of 2000 were $111.6 million, or 50.3% of net sales, as
compared to $106.9 million, or 54.3% of net sales in 1999. The decrease in
selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, is
primarily attributable to expenses increasing at a lower rate than the
increase in net sales.
GAIN ON SALE OF FACILITY
------------------------
On April 3, 2000, the Company sold a 39,000 square foot manufacturing,
warehousing and office facility in Barrie, Ontario, with a net book value
of approximately $442,000, for net proceeds of approximately $804,000.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE
--------------------
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the third quarter of 2000
was $2.0 million, compared to $1.5 million in 1999. Interest expense, net
of interest income for the first nine months of 2000 was $6.1 million,
compared to $4.2 million in 1999. The increases are due to higher average
borrowings for working capital requirements in 2000, in addition to
increased borrowing rates, as compared to 1999.
-10-
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES
------------
Income taxes are based on the Company's expected annual effective tax rate
of 43% in 2000 compared to an estimated 28% tax benefit in 1999.
NET EARNINGS
------------
Net earnings for the third quarter of 2000 were $1.2 million, compared to
a prior year net loss of $6.1 million. Net earnings for the first nine
months of 2000 were $3.6 million, compared to a prior year net loss of
$4.1 million.
(2) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
At September 30, 2000 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.3
million compared to $2.5 million at September 30, 1999.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable of $12.5 million, principally due to the timing of increased
shipments in the third quarter, partially offset by increases of $3.2
million in accrued liabilities and $2.9 million in income taxes payable /
receivable.
Cash used for property, plant and equipment additions was $4.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $4.9 million in 1999.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $4.5 million due to proceeds received under the
Company's revolving credit agreement and short-term borrowings under a
line of credit with a bank, partially offset by repayments of short-term
borrowings and principal payments of long-term debt.
On April 3, 2000, the Company sold a 39,000 square foot manufacturing,
warehousing and office facility in Barrie, Ontario, with a net book value
of approximately $442,000 for net proceeds of approximately $804,000.
Approximately $640,000 of the proceeds was used to satisfy a mortgage
bridge loan on its new facility in Barrie, Ontario purchased on February
22, 2000.
On April 26, 2000, the Company refinanced its purchase money promissory
note of $3,822,000 for its property in North Carolina with five-year
$4,523,000 mortgage on the land and buildings. The mortgage includes an
interest rate based on LIBOR and terms that provide for the maintenance of
certain financial ratios.
The Company believes that cash from future operations, cash on hand and
amounts available from the credit facility, will be sufficient to satisfy
its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
-----------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133) as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138,
which is effective for quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. SFAS No. 133 provides guidance for accounting for all derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. The Company does not believe that
the implementation of SFAS No. 133 will have a significant impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-14 "Accounting
for Certain Sales Incentives". The issue addresses the recognition,
measurement and income statement classification for sales incentives
offered voluntarily by a vendor, without charge, to customers that can be
used in, or that are exercisable by a customer as a result of a single
exchange transaction. Implementation of the EITF is required in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000. Management has determined that implementation of
EITF 00-14 will result in the reclassification of certain selling costs
from selling and administrative expenses to net sales and is in the
process of quantifying the amount of such reclassification.
FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS
----------------------------
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations and
Financial Condition and other sections of this Form 10-Q include
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of
historical information provided herein are forward-looking statements and
may contain information about financial results, economic conditions,
trends and known uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained
herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference
include, but are not limited to, delays in introducing new products or
failure of consumers to accept new products, actions by competitors which
may result in mergers, technology improvement or new product
introductions, the dependence on certain national chain drug stores and
mass merchandiser relationships due to the concentration of sales
generated by such chains, changes in fashion oriented color cosmetics
