                               SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES


A.   The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  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  accruals)  considered
     necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.   For  further
     information  regarding Durel's  accounting  policies,  refer to the audited
     financial  statements  and  footnotes  of Durel for the  fiscal  year ended
     December  29,  2002,  which have been  filed with the Rogers  Corporation's
     Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended  December 29, 2002 and are
     incorporated by reference herein.

B.   Durel  Corporation  was  incorporated  on June 1,  1988,  in the  state  of
     Delaware.  Durel operates in one operating segment and engages primarily in
     the research,  development,  manufacture,  and sales of  electroluminescent
     products.  Until  September  30, 2003,  Durel was a joint venture of Rogers
     Corporation   and   Minnesota   Mining  and   Manufacturing   Company  (the
     "shareholders").

C.   Durel's  effective  tax rate was 30% for the first nine  months of 2003 and
     2002, respectively. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate
     due to various tax benefits,  including nontaxable foreign sales income and
     research and  development  credits.  Income taxes paid were  $5,600,000 and
     $4,815,000 in the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, respectively.

D.   In connection with the sale of Durel's  products,  Durel  reimburses one of
     the  shareholders  for the selling  costs and pays no  commission.  Selling
     costs  reimbursed  to this  shareholder  were  approximately  $235,000  and
     $120,000 for the nine months ended  September  28, 2003 and  September  29,
     2002,  respectively.  The other  shareholder  bears a large  portion of the
     selling  costs and receives a  commission  ranging from 2.5 to 5 percent of
     sales. Commissions earned by this shareholder were approximately $2,149,000
     and $2,465,000  for the nine months ended  September 28, 2003 and September
     29, 2002, respectively.

E.   Durel's payable to shareholders in 2003 and 2002 represents  amounts due to
     the Shareholders for various costs paid on behalf of Durel, including items
     such as research and development,  general corporate overhead,  and various
     marketing  charges.  Amounts paid to the  shareholders for these respective
     costs were  $352,000 and $703,000 for the nine months ended  September  28,
     2003 and September 29, 2002, respectively.

     On September 24, 1999, Durel executed a promissory note with one
     of its shareholders under which the Shareholder would make funds
     available to Durel from time to time. The promissory note was
     amended in September 2001 to increase the available borrowing
     amount to $8 million and to extend the maturity date through
     September 2002. The note accrued interest at prime. Durel had $5
     million outstanding under this note on December 30, 2001 but
     repaid the note prior to the maturity in 2002. The borrowing
     facility was terminated when it was paid off. Interest paid on
     this note in 2003 and 2002 was $0 and $51,000, respectively.

F.   On January 4, 1999, Durel converted a $10 million unsecured  revolving line
     of credit  agreement  with a bank into a term loan. The loan was guaranteed
     by one of the Shareholders,  bearing interest at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus
     1.05 percent.  On January 2, 2002,  Durel amended this term loan and merged
     the outstanding balance of the term loan in the amounts of $7.8 million and
     $2.2 million  outstanding under Durel's unsecured  revolving line of credit
     into a new loan in the amount of $10  million.  On  January 3, 2002,  Durel
     also entered  into an interest  rate swap  agreement  to fix the  effective
     interest rate on the term loan at 5.44 percent. On December 11, 2002, Durel
     paid off the term loan. In addition,  Durel paid approximately  $390,000 to
     settle the  interest  rate swap  agreement  with the bank.  Durel's line of
     credit was terminated in connection with paying off the loan. Interest paid
     during the nine months ended  September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 was
     $0 and $485,000, respectively.



                                                                    Exhibit 99.1

G.   The nature and scope of Durel's  business bring it in regular  contact with
     the general  public and a variety of businesses  and  government  agencies.
     Such activities  inherently subject Durel to the possibility of litigation,
     including environmental and product liability matters that are defended and
     handled in the ordinary course of business.  Durel has established accruals
     for  matters  for which  management  considers  a loss to be  probable  and
     reasonably  estimable.  It is the opinion of management that facts known at
     the present time do not indicate that any such  matters,  after taking into
     account insurance  coverage and the aforementioned  accruals,  would have a
     material adverse effect on the financial position of Durel.
