Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. (the "Company") has not been able to complete preparation of audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. The Company plans to restate its previously filed financial statements as of and for the years ended 2000 and 2001. KPMG LLP, the Company's auditor engaged in 2002, is re-auditing the Company's financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification: Jeffry B. Johnson (303) 373-4860 (Name) Area Code Telephone Number (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) has been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [x] No [ ] (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report of portion thereof? Yes [x] No [ ] If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. The Company anticipates that the Company will have net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company is unable to state the amount for the net income because the audit of the financial statements for 2002 and 2001 have not yet been completed. The Company expects that the anticipated net income will be attributable in large part to the Company's receiving $594,600 as payment of a judgment in a lawsuit against an insurer, a net income tax benefit of approximately $300,000 primarily as a result of the carry-back of a net loss, and increases in sales of Montagne Jeunesse products which more than offset decreases in sales of Alpha Hydrox products and household chemical products. SCOTT'S LIQUID GOLD-INC. (Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter) has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
