Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
------------------------------------
(a) Set forth in the table below is the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned as of the date hereof by each person
or entity named in Item 2 above, together with the percentage of outstanding
shares of Common Stock which is beneficially owned by each such person or
entity. The ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on
14,035,971shares of Common Stock having been outstanding subsequent to the
transactions effected on July 30, 1999 pursuant to the Second Supplemental
Purchase Agreement which number of shares was derived by adding the 220,000

Purchase Agreement and the 1,111,112 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
the Second Supplemental Purchase Agreement to the number of shares outstanding
last reported by the Issuer (12,704,859 as of January 13, 1999 as reported in

percentages of the outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by each of the
persons listed below and the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common

amended, to reflect ownership of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of outstanding warrants, New Second Tranche Units and New Second Closing Units
(including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants
included in such warrants) owned by each such person. As provided in such Rule,
shares of Common Stock issuable to any person upon exercise of its, his or her
warrants (or issuable to all such persons in the aggregate) are deemed to be
outstanding for the purpose of calculating such person's beneficial ownership
(or all such persons' aggregate beneficial ownership) but not any other person's
beneficial ownership.

to Securities of the Issuer.
---------------------------
The Purchase Agreement Investors purchased shares of Common Stock and
Purchase Agreement Warrants from the Issuer in a private placement on June 16,
1998 (the "First Closing") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The summary set
forth below of certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit
to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Purchase Agreement provides that if, prior to August 31,
1999, the Issuer has entered into binding contracts with nuclear power
generating companies or their contractors providing for gross sales of more than
$100,000 of the Issuer's fire retardant products during the first year of such
contracts to upgrade fire protection of control wiring at nuclear power
generating facilities, the Purchase Agreement Investors will purchase an
aggregate of $150,000.30 of Second Tranche Units, each unit consisting of one
share of Common Stock and Purchase Agreement Warrants to purchase 2.5 shares of
Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.90 per share (reduced to $0.75
per share pursuant to the Supplemental Purchase Agreement, see below), at a
tranche 2 closing (the "Second Tranche Closing") for a purchase price of $1.00
per unit (reduced to $0.75 per share pursuant to the Supplemental Purchase
Agreement, see below). The Second Supplemental Purchase Agreement amended the
Purchase Agreement to give the Purchase Agreement Investors the option to
purchase the Second Tranche Units exercisable at any time from August 31, 1999
through August 31, 2000 (see below). Set forth below is information concerning
the number of shares of Common Stock that each Purchase Agreement Investor would
acquire at a Second Tranche Closing if the Issuer enters into such contracts or
the Purchase Agreement Investors would acquire if they exercise in full their
option to purchase the Second Tranche Units. The information set forth below
reflects the amendments to the Second Tranche Closing per unit purchase price
effected by the Supplemental Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement provides that if for the fiscal year
ending August 31, 1999, the Issuer has net sales of $2,000,000 or more and
pre-tax earnings of $400,000 or more, the Purchase Agreement Investors will
purchase an aggregate of $500,001.30 of Second Closing Units, each unit
consisting of one share of Common Stock and Purchase Agreement Warrants to
purchase 2.5 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.00 per
share (reduced to $0.75 per share pursuant to the Supplemental Purchase
Agreement, see below), at a second closing (the "Second Closing") on September
15, 1999 for a purchase price of $0.90 per unit (reduced to $0.75 per share
pursuant to the Supplemental Purchase Agreement, see below). If the Issuer fails
to meet the net sales and pre-tax earnings thresholds set forth above, the
Purchase Agreement Investors may nevertheless, at their option, purchase such
additional number of units. The exercise date for such option was extended to
September 15, 2000 pursuant to the Second Supplemental Purchase Agreement (see
below). Set forth below is information concerning the number of shares of Common
Stock that each Purchase Agreement Investor would acquire if the Issuer meets
such net sales and pre-tax earnings thresholds or, if such thresholds are not
met, the Purchase Agreement Investors exercise their option in full. The
information set forth below reflects the amendments to the Second Tranche
Closing per unit purchase price effected by the Supplemental Purchase Agreement.
