                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements of General Devices,  Inc.
(the  "Company")  as of June 30,  1999 and for the three  and six month  periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 reflect all material adjustments consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management,  are necessary
for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods.  Certain information
and footnote disclosure required under generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  although the Company  believes  that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto  included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year  ended  December  31,  1998,  as filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the  prior  years'  financial
statements to conform to the current year's presentation.

     The results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected
for the entire year or for any other period.


2.   Contingencies
     -------------

     During July 1999, the Company was served with a complaint that was filed in
the Court of Common  Pleas in  Philadelphia  County  entitled  Dean  Vignola and
Kathleen  Vignola  vs.  Ciba Geigy  Corporation,  et.al.  Plaintiffs'  Complaint







<PAGE>







alleges that the Company and numerous  other  defendants  caused  injury to Dean
Vignola and thereby  harm and alleged  damages in excess of $50,000 to both Dean
and Kathleen Vignola.  Plaintiffs' Complaint also alleges that as a landowner of
the site of the alleged injury the Company caused injury and harm to Plaintiffs.
However,  in fact,  the  Company  did not own the  property  at the time of Dean
Vignola's  alleged  injury.  The  Company is unable at this  early  point in the
proceedings to determine the merits of the case or whether any judgment could be
obtained  in the  future  which  would  have a  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's   financial  position  or  results  of  operation.   The  Company  has
substantial and meritorious  defenses to the initial claims which have been made
against it and intends to even query the  appropriateness  of its  inclusion  in
this legal action. The Company has engaged counsel and intends to vigorously and
aggressively defend itself.

Item 2 -   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
- ------
           Condition and Results of Operations
           -------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Since 1993 the Company has  essentially  been inactive.  Prior to that time
the Company was  primarily  engaged in the  temporary  placement  of  technical,
clerical and computer  personnel.  The Company has  liquidated the assets of its
former business and is actively seeking an acquisition with the goal of becoming
an operating business.

     General  and   administrative   expenses  in  all  periods  presented  were
principally  comprised of consulting  and transfer agent fees and general office
expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     At June 30, 1999 the Company had cash of $91,000 and net working capital of
approximately  $89,000.  Management believes that the Company's cash is adequate
for its business  activities  and for the costs of seeking an  acquisition of an
operating business.

Year 2000 Matters
- -----------------

     The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer  programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable  year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have  time-sensitive  software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000.  Miscalculations could cause disruptions
of operations,  including,  among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions or engage in similar normal business activities.

     Management  has  determined   that  the  Year  2000  Issue  will  not  pose
significant  operational problems for its internal computer systems. The Company
uses "off the shelf" accounting  software to maintain its accounting system. All
of these software applications are already Year 2000 compliant.
