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

1. On November 6, 2000, Sensient Technologies Corporation, formerly Universal
Foods Corporation (the "Company"), began doing business under its new
name. An amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation changing the
Company's name to Sensient Technologies Corporation was adopted at the
Annual Shareholders' Meeting and became effective on April 26, 2001.

2. 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, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. Refer to the notes in the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, for a description of the
accounting policies, which have been continued without change, and
additional details of the Company's financial condition. The details in
those notes have not changed except as a result of normal transactions in
the interim and the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), as amended, discussed in Note 4 below.

4. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 which requires
that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair
value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of
hedging relationships. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 was
not material to the Company's financial statements.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No.
141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS No. 141 prohibits
pooling-of-interest accounting for acquisitions and is effective July 1,
2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that upon adoption, amortization of goodwill
will cease and instead, the carrying value of goodwill will be evaluated
for impairment on an annual basis. SFAS No. 142 will be adopted by the
Company on January 1, 2002. The impact of this pronouncement on the
Company's financial results is currently being evaluated.

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

6. On February 23, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially all
the assets of its Red Star Yeast business. The operating results of the
business through February 23, 2001 and the gain from the sale have been
reported as a separate line item on the consolidated condensed statements
of earnings. Refer to note 12 in the Company's 2000 Annual Report for
additional information.

The results from discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

7. In the second quarter, the Company modified its facilities consolidation
plan announced on December 21, 2000, based on a review of the business
outlook. This modification and lower than estimated costs and cash outlays
for certain items in the original plan resulted in a reversal in the
quarter of $3.2 million of the special charges reserve. This is included
in the line "Selling and administrative expenses" in the consolidated
condensed statements of earnings. During the six months ended June 30,
2001, payments of $1.6 million, primarily severance, have been applied to
the special charges reserve.

8. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, inventories included finished and
in-process products totaling $152.9 million and $157.7 million,
respectively, and raw materials and supplies of $74.6 million and $77.7
million, respectively.

9. During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company
repurchased 1.3 million and 1.0 million shares of common stock for an
aggregate price of $29.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively.

10. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, depreciation and amortization
expense related to continuing operations were $18.9 million and $4.8
million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
depreciation and amortization expense related to continuing operations
were $18.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

11. Comprehensive income is comprised primarily of net earnings and foreign
currency translation. Total comprehensive income for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was $20.0 million and $7.6 million,
respectively. Total comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 was $30.1 million and $27.3 million, respectively.

12. As disclosed in the first quarter Form 10-Q, the Company reduced its
workforce by an additional 200 employees in April 2001. The severance cost
recognized in the second quarter related to this workforce reduction was
$3.0 million. This is included in the line "Selling and administrative
expenses" in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. During the
six months ended June 30, 2001, severance payments of $1.1 million have
been paid.

13. Operating results and the related assets by segment for the periods
presented are as follows (in thousands):

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

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $203.9 million
compared with $204.1 million in 2000, a 0.1% decrease. For the six
months ended June 30, 2001, revenue decreased 2.4% to $399.6 million
compared to the same period in 2000. Revenue in the Flavors &
Fragrances segment increased 3.8% and 0.5% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The Color segment revenue
decreased 5.1% and 7.0% for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001, respectively. Gross profit decreased 5.3% and 8.3% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared to
the same period last year. The decrease is due to higher energy
costs, fewer new product introductions by our customers and product
mix change in our Flavors & Fragrances segment. Selling and
administrative expenses of $38.7 million were flat with last year in
the three months ended June 30, 2001 and decreased 1.3% in the six
month period. Operating income for the three months ended June 30,
2001 was $31.3 million, a decrease of $4.0 million. For the six
months, operating income decreased $10.9 million to $55.9 million.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001, decreased
to $7.6 million from $8.5 million for the same period last year. For
the six months ended June 30, 2001, interest expense was $16.5
million, a decrease of 0.9%. The decrease is primarily due to the
reduction of debt with the funds from the sale of substantially all
of the assets of the Red Star Yeast business.

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations was 22.7% and
33.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30,
2000 the rate was 25.7% and 26.1%, respectively. The decrease in the
rate for the current quarter is due to an adjustment related to the
expected settlement of certain tax liabilities. The rate for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, was reduced for this adjustment in
addition to a reduction in the valuation allowance in the first
quarter due to the ability to utilize state net operating loss
carryforwards. Without these adjustments the effective tax rate would
have been 33.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was reduced as a result
of a one-time benefit recognized in connection with the closing of
the Dehydrated facility in Ireland. Without this item, the effective
rate would have been 32.9%.

In the second quarter of 2001, the Company reduced its workforce by
200 people under the workforce reduction plan announced in April.
This workforce reduction is in addition to the facilities
consolidation plan announced in December 2000. As a result of the two
programs, the Company has reduced its workforce by more than 300
employees, out of a planned total of approximately 400, as of August
1, 2000. The Company is on target for the completion of the programs
by the end of October 2001. Annualized cost savings under the
programs is approximately $20 million with approximately $10 million
occurring in 2001.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 23, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially
all the assets of its Red Star Yeast business. Total proceeds were
approximately $113 million in cash, of which $4 million was received
in August 2000. A gain from the sale of the business and its
operating results through February 23, 2001 are included net of tax
in a separate line item "Earnings from discontinued operations" on
the statement of earnings. Cash proceeds received from the sale have
primarily been used to pay down short-term debt and repurchase the
Company's stock.


SEGMENT INFORMATION

Flavors & Fragrances - The Flavors & Fragrances segment's gross
revenue increased 4% to $133.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. Operating income for the quarter was $18.0 million, a
decrease of 17% from the same period last year. In the current
quarter, the segment reported increased volumes across all
businesses. However, increased energy costs, negative effect of
foreign currency exchange rates and product mix lowered operating
income. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, revenue increased
0.5% to $258.2 million. Operating income was $30.7 million compared
to $42.1 million in the same period last year due to increased energy
costs, negative foreign currency exchange rates and lower new product
introductions by our customers.

-7-
11

Color - Gross revenue for the Color segment was $69.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 5% from last year.
The strengthening US dollar and divestiture of non-strategic parts of
the Pointing acquisition were responsible for the revenue decrease.
Operating profit increased 3% to $18.9 million during the quarter.
The margin improvement was the result of higher volumes of non-food
colors and an improving product mix in food colors. Revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 2001, decreased 7% to $135.4 million due to
the items previously mentioned in addition to inventory reductions by
our customers. Operating profit for the six months ended June 30,
2001 decreased 1% to $34.9 million.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 has
presented "Net assets held for sale" of the discontinued operation as
a separate line item in current assets.

The current ratio was 2.4 at June 30, 2001 compared with 1.9 at
December 31, 2000. The increase is primarily the result of decreased
short-term borrowings as the result of cash received from the sale of
the Red Star Yeast business.

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations
was $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to
$44.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in
cash provided by operating activities in 2001 was primarily due to
reduced earnings, payments of income taxes and expenses related to
the disposition of the yeast business and working capital changes.
Cash from operations has strengthened in the three months ended June
30, 2001 as inventory levels have begun to decline. Net cash provided
by operating activities of discontinued operations was $0.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $6.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. The cash provided by discontinued
operations in 2001 includes results through the date of sale,
February 23, 2001.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $91.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the first six months
of 2001 includes cash proceeds from the sale of the Red Star Yeast
division of $108.5 million, which was partially offset by capital
expenditures of $16.6 million. Cash used in investing activities in
the first six months of 2000 includes acquisitions of $44.2 million
and capital expenditures of $26.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $104.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, compared with cash provided by financing
activities of $19.3 million in the comparable period last year. Cash
proceeds from the sale of the Red Star Yeast business were used to
fund a net reduction of short-term borrowings of $69.6 million and
treasury stock purchases of $30.7 million during the six month period
ended June 30, 2001. The net borrowings in 2000 of $46.3 million were
used primarily to fund acquisitions and treasury stock purchases.
Dividends of $12.8 million and $13.2 million were paid during 2001
and 2000, respectively.

The Company's financial position remains strong, enabling it to meet
cash requirements for operations, capital expansion programs and
dividend payments to shareholders.
