GRIFFON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation—

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2004. The balance sheet at September 30, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company's annual report to shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2003.

(2) Inventories—

        Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or average) or market, are comprised of the following:

 
  March 31,
2004

  September 30,
2003

Finished goods   $ 45,781,000   $ 50,270,000
Work in process     61,971,000     42,029,000
Raw materials and supplies     26,267,000     21,704,000
   
 
    $ 134,019,000   $ 114,003,000
   
 

(3) Earnings per share (EPS) and accounting for stock-based compensation—

        Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in determining basic EPS was 29,900,000 and 32,934,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 29,860,000 and 33,028,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

        Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus additional common shares that could be issued in connection with potentially dilutive securities. Holders of the company's 4% convertible subordinated notes are entitled to convert their notes into the company's common stock upon the occurrence of certain events described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the company's annual report to shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2003. Shares potentially issuable upon conversion are not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because the conditions for conversion had not been met. The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in determining diluted EPS was 31,773,000 and 34,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 31,753,000 and 34,025,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and reflects additional shares issuable in connection with stock option and other stock based compensation plans.

6


        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure", permits an entity to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", or adopt a fair value based method of accounting for such compensation. The company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in connection with options granted. Had compensation expense for options granted been determined based on the fair value at the date of grant in accordance with Statement No. 123, the company's net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:
