NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited for the periods,
but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which
management considers necessary for the fair presentation of results as of March
31, 1996 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and March 31,
1995. Moreover, these condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included herein and the financial statements and
management's discussion and analysis or plan of operation included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended

December 31, 1995.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31,1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1995

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were $3,267,328, representing
an increase of $730,176 compared to the same period in 1995. Domestic law
enforcement sales increased by 43% and U.S. Government agency sales increased by
25%. The increase in domestic law enforcement sales results from the Company's
efforts to continue to expand its domestic distribution network.

Gross profit on sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 increased
by $206,098 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the
increased gross sales in the first quarter, compared to the prior year. The
gross profit margin (sales less manufacturing costs for materials, labor and
overhead as a percent of total sales) decreased to 35% for the 1996 period from
37% in the comparable period for 1995. The decrease in margin was primarily due
to the impact of price increases incurred on the Company's main raw material.
The effect of this price increase on the Company's gross margin is expected to
yield an approximate 1% decrease in margin percentage for the full year of 1996,
as compared to 1995.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 were $968,417 (29.6% of sales) compared to $707,308 (27.9% of
sales) during the comparable period in 1995. The increase in the actual dollar
amount of selling, general and administrative expenses between the periods,
amounted to $261,109 and consisted primarily of increased salaries and
commissions in the sales area due to the increase in domestic sales.

Interest expense of $72,011 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 is
approximately $12,000 higher than the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase resulted primarily from higher borrowings under the Company's financing
agreement with LaSalle Business Credit, Inc. ("LaSalle"). Income tax expense for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996 represents a deferred tax expense
amounting to 39% of pre-tax income. This tax rate reflects the statutory rate
plus state taxes. The Company's operating loss carry forward, amounting to
approximately $5 million, results in no taxes being currently payable. The
entire

                                       6
<PAGE>


amount of income tax expense for the period reduces the Company's deferred tax
asset and related valuation reserve resulting in a reduction in the intangible
asset "Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocable to Identifiable
Assets". For the first quarter of 1996, pre-tax income and net income amounted
to $116,487 and $71,487, respectively, compared to $183,526 and $111,526 for the
comparable period in 1995. This change reflects the increase in gross profit
margin between the periods, as discussed above, as well as the decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses in relation to sales and higher

interest costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's backlog of orders consists of orders received but not yet
manufactured. As of May 5, 1996, the Company had a backlog of orders of
approximately $1,102,576. Management believes that a backlog of approximately
four weeks production provides reasonable production scheduling.

As of March 31, 1996, the interest rate on the Company's outstanding loans with
LaSalle was LaSalle's Reference Rate plus 2.0% (10.25%). The financing agreement
with LaSalle expires on June 30, 1996. As of March 31, 1996, the Company was
indebted to LaSalle in the aggregate amount of $1,520,863, and had additional
availability from which to borrow in the amount of $764,108 compared to
$1,997,060 and $230,000, respectively, at December 31, 1995. As collateral for
this loan, LaSalle holds a security interest in substantially all of the assets
of the Company.

As of March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $949,749 which reflects
continued improvement of $154,379 from the December 31, 1995 working capital
amounts. This improvement reflects the Company's continued profitability.

The Company anticipates that continuing operations will enable the Company to
meet its liquidity, working capital requirements, and capital expenditure
requirements during the next year.

Item 2.           Changes in Securities

Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") to convert such shares to shares of the
Company's Common Stock at 110% of the aggregate stated value of the Preferred
Stock, at a conversion price of $.77 per share (fair market value, as determined
by an independent valuation firm), as required by the Company's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation. All shares of the Company's Preferred Stock
were deemed to have been converted upon such election by the Board of Directors.
