           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                         June 30, 2001
                          (Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim
periods to which the report relates.  The results of operations for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The notes
included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the
financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and
for the three years then ended, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

Business

Research Frontiers Incorporated (the Company) operates in a
single business segment which is engaged in the development and
marketing of technology and devices to control the flow of light.
Such devices, often referred to as "light valves" or suspended
particle devices (SPDs), use microscopic particles that are either
incorporated within a liquid suspension or a film, which is usually
enclosed between two glass or plastic plates, having transparent,
electrically conductive coatings on the facing surfaces thereof.
At least one of the two plates is transparent.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, SPD Enterprises, Inc., invested
approximately $750,000 for a minority equity interest in SPD Inc.,
a subsidiary of  Hankuk Glass Industries Inc., Korea's largest glass
manufacturer, which is dedicated exclusively to the production of
suspended particle device (SPD) light-control film and a wide
variety of end-products using SPD film.

Patent Costs

The Company expenses costs relating to the development or
acquisition of patents due to the uncertainty of the recoverability
of these items.

Deferred Revenue

The Company has entered into a number of license agreements
covering potential products.  The Company receives minimum
annual royalties under certain license agreements and records fee
income for the amounts earned by the Company.  Certain of the
fees are paid to the Company in advance of the period in which
they are earned resulting in deferred revenue.

Marketable Investment Securities

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company determined that
it may sell its marketable investment securities prior to their
maturity dates in order to invest in other marketable securities,
repurchase and retire its common stock, and for general working
capital purposes. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2001, the Company
transferred its classification of marketable securities from held-to-
maturity to available-for-sale.  As a result, the Company recorded
the securities at fair value with the unrealized holding gain of
$42,349 recorded as a component of shareholders' equity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company adopted on January 1, 2001 Financial Accounting
Standards Board  Statement No. 133 related to "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (Statement 133).
Since the Company does not have any derivative instruments and
does not engage in hedging activities, the adoption of Statement
133 had no impact on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

Shareholders' Equity

Issuance of Common Stock
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company received
$4,602,079 of net cash proceeds from (i) the issuance of 28,175
shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of options
resulting in net proceeds of $224,347 and (ii) 247,000 shares of
common stock issued upon the exercise of warrants resulting in net
proceeds of $4,377,732.  In addition, 778 shares were issued to
directors in payment of $12,000 in directors fees, and 687 shares
were issued through the cashless exercise of certain warrants,
resulting in non-cash consulting expense of $17,588 being
recorded.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company received
$10,600,750 of net cash proceeds from (i) the issuance of 45,775
shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of options
resulting in net proceeds of $368,481 and (ii) 579,983 shares of
common stock issued upon the exercise of warrants resulting in net
proceeds of $10,232,269.  In addition, 1,013 shares were issued to
a director in payment of $13,000 in directors fees.

Treasury Stock
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company purchased
in the open market and subsequently retired 299,693 shares of
treasury stock with an aggregate cost of $5,945,938.  For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, the Company purchased in the open
market and subsequently retired 16,100 shares of treasury stock
with an aggregate cost of $278,278.

Issuance of Warrants
During 1999, the Company issued warrants to purchase 50,000
shares at prices ranging from $9.00 to $21.00 per share in payment
for investor relations services provided to the Company, which
vested 10,000 shares per quarter commencing on April 1, 1999.
The Company recorded $4,584 and $9,168 of expense in
connection with the issuance of these warrants during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

Contingent Performance Options
During 1999, the Company granted 237,800 contingent
performance options to employees, which vested because the
relevant performance milestone in the price of the Company's
common stock was achieved during 2000. The Company was
required to account for these options as a variable plan under APB
Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, from the point in time that it
appeared probable that such milestone would be achieved, the
Company was required to recognize non-cash compensation
expense each period from the date of grant through the vesting
date based on the quoted market price of the stock at the end of
each period.  Non-cash compensation expense recognized during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 in connection with
these options was $363,748 and $3,133,748, respectively, as the
applicable milestones for the vesting of these options were
achieved during the second quarter of 2000.  The charges recorded
as a result of the issuance of these performance options were
calculated based upon changes in the Company's stock price as of
the end of each quarter until the vesting date, and are non-cash
accounting charges.

Comprehensive Income

The Company accounts for its comprehensive income under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130,  "Reporting Comprehensive Income." (Statement 130).
Statement 130 requires that companies disclose comprehensive
income, which includes net income, foreign currency translation
adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and
unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as
available-for-sale. The Company did not have any foreign
currency translation adjustments, or minimum pension liability
adjustments during 2001 or 2000.  The Company did not have
unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities classified as
available-for-sale during the first quarter of 2000, but did have
unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as
available-for-sale during the second quarter of 2000 and first two
quarters of 2001, and unrealized gain during the second quarter of
2001. Consequently, comprehensive loss was $1,696,220 and
$2,687,448 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively, and was $1,344,798 and $5,892,737 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

Performance Bonus Plan

In December 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved
a performance bonus plan which provides for a bonus to be paid
on or after July 2, 2001 and on or after January 2, 2002 equal to
1% of the increase, if any, in the Company's market value during
the first and second halves of 2001.  Bonuses are capped at a
recipient's salary in the case of employees of the Company, and
are currently capped at $57,222 in the case of non-employee
directors of the Company. During 2000, the Company had a
similar performance plan in place.  The Company recorded
$785,500 and $755,000 of expenses in connection with these plans
for the for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

Vesting of Performance Warrants

During the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, certain warrants
granted to consultants in 1995 and 1994 to purchase 7,000 and
25,000 shares, respectively of common stock became vested due
to services performed and performance criteria being met.  In
accordance with EITF Issue 96-18, "Accounting for Equity
Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring,
or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services," the Company
recorded consulting expense of $43,596 and $528,198,
respectively, based upon the fair value of such warrants on the date
the warrants vested as determined using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model.

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

Results of Operations for the Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000

The Company's fee income from licensing activities for the first
six months of 2001 was $81,252 as compared to $198,734 for the
first six months of 2000.

Operating expenses decreased by $465,117 for the first six months
of 2001 to $1,597,621 from $2,062,738 for the first six months of
2000.  This decrease was primarily the result of a lower non-cash
accounting charge of $43,596  which was recorded by the
Company during the first half of 2001 compared to a non-cash
accounting charge of $528,198 which was recorded by the
Company during the first half of 2000, relating to the vesting of
warrants based upon performance criteria being achieved or
services performed, which expense was based upon the fair value
of such warrants on the date the warrants vested as determined
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.  In addition, operating
expenses decreased due to decreased payroll expenses, and travel
expenses, offset by increased marketing, consulting, public
relations, accounting, insurance and rent expenses.

Research and development expenditures increased by $302,769 to
$1,581,147 for the first six months of 2001 from $1,278,378 for
the first six months of 2000.  This increase was primarily the result
of higher patent and materials expenses.

Operating expenses and research and development expenses listed
above included amounts accrued under a performance bonus plan
of $496,790 and $288,710, respectively during the first half of
2001 and $477,500 and $277,500, respectively during the first half
of 2000.  These performance bonuses in the amount accrued for
were paid by the Company during the third quarter of 2001
because the applicable performance milestones were achieved.
The Company also recorded a non-cash compensation charge of
$3,133,748 during the first half of 2000 which did not recur during
2001 which is related to the non-recurring grant of certain
contingent performance options issued to employees and directors
during 1999.  Because of the performance milestones which must
have been achieved in order for these options to vest, the Company
was required to account for these options as variable plan under
APB Opinion No.25.   Without taking into account the non-cash
accounting charge associated with the contingent performance
options described above and the performance warrants described
above, the Company's net loss would have been $2,698,670 ($0.22
per share) for the first six months of 2001 as compared to
$2,197,197 ($0.18 per share) for the first six months of 2000.

The Company's net gain from its investing activities for the first
six months of 2001 was $355,250, as compared to a net gain from
its investing activities of $416,987 for the first six months of 2000.

As a consequence of the factors discussed above, the Company's
net loss was $2,742,266 ($0.23 per share) for the first six months
of 2001 as compared to $5,859,143 ($0.49 per share) for the first
six months of 2000. Without taking into account the non-cash
accounting charge associated with the contingent performance
options described above, and the performance warrants described
above,  the Company's net loss would have been $2,698,670
($0.22 per share) for the first six months of 2001 as compared to
$2,197,197 ($0.18 per share) for the first six months of 2000.

Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000

The Company's fee income from licensing activities for the second
quarter of 2001 was $12,500 as compared to $99,960 for the
second quarter of 2000.

Operating expenses increased by $402,948 for the second quarter
of 2001 to $1,067,856 from $664,908 for the second quarter of
2000.  This was primarily the result of increased marketing,
payroll, consulting, public relations and accounting expenses offset
by lower travel and insurance expenses.

Research and development expenditures increased by $243,160 to
$854,426 for the second quarter of 2001 from $611,266 for the
second quarter of 2000.  This increase was primarily the result of
higher patent expenses, offset by lower materials expenses.

Operating expenses and research and development expenses listed
above included amounts accrued under a performance bonus plan
of $471,019 and $276,996, respectively during the second quarter
of 2001 and $238,750 and $138,750, respectively during the
second quarter of 2000.  These performance bonuses in the amount
accrued for were paid by the Company during the third quarter of
2001 because the applicable performance milestones were
achieved.  The Company also recorded a non-cash compensation
charge of $363,748 during the second quarter of 2000 which did
not recur during 2001 which is related to the non-recurring grant
of certain contingent performance options issued to employees and
directors during 1999.  Because of the performance milestones
which must have been achieved in order for these options to vest,
the Company was required to account for these options as variable
plan under APB Opinion No.25.  Without taking into account the
non-cash accounting charge associated with the contingent
performance options described above and the performance
warrants described above, the Company's net loss would have been
$1,748,444 ($0.14 per share) for the second quarter of 2001 as
compared to $947,456 ($0.08 per share) for the second quarter of 2000.

The Company's net gain from its investing activities for the
second quarter of 2001 was $161,338, as compared to a net gain
from its investing activities of $228,758 for the second quarter of 2000.

As a consequence of the factors discussed above, the Company's
net loss was $1,748,444 ($0.14 per share) for the second quarter of
2001 as compared to $1,311,204 ($0.11 per share) for the second
quarter of 2000. Without taking into account the non-cash
accounting charge associated with the contingent performance
options described above, and the performance warrants described
above,  the Company's net loss would have been $1,748,444
($0.14 per share) for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to
$947,456 ($0.08 per share) for the second quarter of 2000.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first six months of 2001, the Company's cash and cash
equivalent balance decreased by $3,247,879 principally as a result
of  cash used to fund the Company's operating activities of
$2,443,465, and the repurchase and subsequent retirement of
$5,945,938 worth of the Company's common stock in the open
market, offset partially by $4,602,079 of proceeds received, net of
expenses, from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of
options and warrants, and cash proceeds of $539,445 from the
Company's investing activities.  At June 30, 2001, the Company
had working capital of $9,687,068 and its shareholders' equity was $10,779,792.

In December 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved
a performance bonus plan which provides for a bonus to be paid
on or after July 2, 2001 and on or after January 2, 2002 equal to
1% of the increase, if any, in the Company's market value during
the first and second halves of 2001.  Bonuses are capped at a
recipient's salary in the case of employees of the Company, and
are currently capped at $57,222 in the case of non-employee
directors of the Company. During 2000, the Company had a
similar performance plan in place.  As noted above, the Company
has accrued  $785,500 as of June 30, 2001 towards the payment of
these bonuses. These performance bonuses in the amount
accrued for were paid by the Company during the third quarter of
2001 because the applicable performance milestones were achieved.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company invested
approximately $750,000 for a minority equity interest in SPD Inc.,
a subsidiary of  Hankuk Glass Industries Inc., Korea's largest glass
manufacturer. In  April  2001, SPD Inc. announced that it acquired
a new factory located in Inchon,  Korea which will be dedicated
exclusively to the production of suspended particle device (SPD)
light-control film and a wide variety of end-products using SPD
film, and that it expects to produce SPD film in the Fall of this
year, and to commence mass production of both SPD film and
SPD end-products later on this year.

The Company expects to use its cash and the proceeds from sales
or maturities of its investments to fund its research and
development of SPD light valves and for other working capital
purposes.  The Company's working capital and capital
requirements depend upon numerous factors, including the results
of research and development activities, competitive and
technological developments, the timing and cost of patent filings,
the development of new licensees and changes in the Company's
relationships with its existing licensees.  The degree of dependence
of the Company's working capital requirements on each of the
foregoing factors cannot be quantified; increased research and
development activities and related costs would increase such
requirements; the addition of new licensees may provide additional
working capital or working capital requirements, and changes in
relationships with existing licensees would have a favorable or
negative impact depending upon the nature of such changes.
Based upon existing levels of expenditures, assumed ten percent
annual increases therein, existing cash reserves and budgeted
revenues, the Company believes that it would not require
additional funding for at least the next two to three years (without
giving effect to any new financing raised or treasury stock
repurchases, which are discretionary).  There can be no assurance
that expenditures will not exceed the anticipated amounts or that
additional financing, if required, will be available when needed or,
if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the
Company.  Eventual success of the Company and generation of
positive cash flow will be dependent upon the commercialization
of products using the Company's technology by the Company's
licensees and payments of continuing royalties on account thereof.

New Accounting Standards
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, Business Combinations which supersedes
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16, Business
Combinations.  SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting for business combinations and modifies the
application of the purchase accounting method.  The elimination
of the pooling-of-interests method is effective for transactions
initiated after June 30, 2001.  The remaining provisions of SFAS
141 will be effective for transactions accounted for using the
purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001.

In July 2001, the FASB also issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets.  SFAS
142 eliminates the current requirement to amortize goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of
intangible assets with a defined life and addresses the impairment
testing and recognition for goodwill and intangible assets.  SFAS
142 will apply to goodwill and intangible assets arising from
transactions completed before and after the Statement's effective
date.  SFAS 142 is effective for the Company beginning January
1, 2002.  Management of the Company does not believe that the
implementation of SFAS 141 or SFAS 142 will have a significant
impact on its financial position or results of operations.
