         ARMOR HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         (unaudited)

         1. Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying  condensed  consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of Armor  Holdings,  Inc. (the  "Company") and its
         direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. The financial statements
         have been prepared in accordance  with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q.
         Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information and footnotes
         required by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for  complete
         financial  statements.  All  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal
         recurring accruals and the elimination of all significant  intercompany
         items and transactions) which management considers necessary for a fair
         representation  of  operating  results,   have  been  included  in  the
         statements.  Financial  results  for the  quarter and year to date are
         not  necessarily indicative  of the results  that may be  expected  for
         the year ending December 31, 2000.

                  These condensed  consolidated  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/A for the year
         ended December 31, 1999.  All amounts are reported in thousands  except
         per share amounts.


         2. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

                  In  December1999,  the staff of the  Securities  and  Exchange
         Commission  ("SEC") issued Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  ("SAB") No. 101
         "Revenue Recognition in Financial  Statements".  SAB No. 101 summarizes
         the  SEC  staff's  view  in  applying  generally  accepted   accounting
         principles to the  recognition  of revenues.  The Company has evaluated
         the  impact  of the  reporting  requirements  of SAB  No.  101  and has
         determined  that there will be no material  impact on its  consolidated
         results of operations,  financial  position or cash flows.

         3. Comprehensive Income

                  Comprehensive  income  includes  net income and several  other
         items  that  current  accounting  standards  require  to be  recognized
         outside of net income.  During the three months ended June 30, 2000 and
         June 30, 1999,  comprehensive income was approximately $5.2 million and
         $2.4 million  respectively,  consisting of net income and the change in
         unrealized   gains  or  losses  on  the  Company's   foreign   currency
         translation   adjustments   net  of  tax,  of  $189,000  and  $274,000,
         respectively.  During the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and June 30,
         1999,  comprehensive  income was  approximately  $9.2  million and $5.1
         million  respectively,  consisting  of net  income  and the  change  in
         unrealized   gains  or  losses  on  the  Company's   foreign   currency
         translation   adjustments   net  of  tax,  of  $242,000   and $304,000,
         respectively.

         Results of Operations

         Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June
         30, 1999

                  Service revenues.  Service revenues increased by $8.6 million,
         or 66.7%,  to $21.4  million in the three  months  ended June 30,  2000
         compared to $12.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
         increase  was  due  to  internal   growth  and  the  inclusion  of  the
         acquisitions  of Parvus,  ASH and FAS  acquired in 1999 and  Technisec,
         SCS, NTI and NAS in 2000.  These  acquisitions  were  accounted  for as
         purchases,  and the results of their  operations  are recorded only for
         the period the Company owned them.  Internal growth within the Services
         Division  was over 33% in the second  quarter of 2000  compared  to the
         second quarter of 1999.

         Products  revenues.  Products  revenues  increased by $8.0  million, or
         30.7%,  to $34.1  million  in the  three  months  ended  June 30,  2000
         compared to $26.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
         increase  was due to internal  growth of over 27% and the  inclusion of
         the  acquisition  of  Break-Free  in the second quarter  of 2000.  This
         acquisition  was  accounted  for as a purchase,  and the results of its
         operations are recorded only for the period the Company owned it.

         Cost of sales.  Cost of sales increased by $11.2 million,  or 48.1%, to
         $34.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $23.2
         million in the three  months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  increase  was
         primarily due to the increased revenues for the three months ended June
         30, 2000 over the three  months  ended June 30,  1999,  relating to the
         internal growth and to the acquisitions  completed.  As a percentage of
         total  revenues,  cost of sales increased to 61.9% for the three months
         ended  June 30,  2000 from  59.6% for the three  months  ended June 30,
         1999,  due to a change in the mix of products and services sold and the
         shipments of several large  international  and governmental  orders for
         products at margins below our typical margins.

         Operating  expenses.  Operating expenses increased by $2.0 million,  or
         19.8%,  to $12.2 million (22.0% of total  revenues) in the three months
         ended June 30, 2000 compared to $10.2 million (26.2% of total revenues)
         in the three months ended June 30, 1999.  This  increase was  primarily
         due to the  acquisitions  completed  since  June 30,  1999,  which  are
         included in the three months ended June 30, 2000,  but not in the three
         months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  decrease as a  percentage  of total
         revenues is reflective of the increasing  revenue base and fixed nature
         of certain of these expenses.

         Amortization.  Amortization  expense increased  $114,000,  or 17.4%, to
         $770,000 in the three months  ended June 30, 2000  compared to $656,000
         in the three months ended June 30, 1999.  This  increase was  primarily
         due to  additional  amortization  of  intangible  assets  acquired as a
         result of the  acquisitions  of  Parvus,  ASH and FAS during the second
         quarter of 1999 and the  acquisitions  of Break-Free,  Technisec,  SCS,
         NTI,  NAS and OVG  during the first and  second  quarters  of 2000 that
         would not have been reflected in the quarter ended June 30,1999.

         Equity in  earnings  of  investees.  Equity in  earnings  of  investees
         increased  by $27,000 to  $53,0000 in the three  months  ended June 30,


                                       12
<PAGE>

         2000,  compared to $26,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1999. The
         equity in earnings  relates to the Company's 20%  investment in Jardine
         Securicor Gurkha Services Limited ("JSGS").

         Integration  and  other  non-recurring  charges.  Integration  charges
         increase by $119,000  or 18.4% to $765,000 in the three  months  ended
         June 30, 2000  compared to $646,000 in the three months ended June 30,
         1999.  These costs relate to the  integration of the Company's  recent
         acquisitions,   and  the  increase  reflects  the  greater  number  of
         acquisitions compared to the year earlier period.

         Operating  income.  Operating income increased $3.2 million or 74.4% to
         $7.4 million in the three  months ended June 30, 2000  compared to $4.3
         million in the three months ended June 30, 1999,  primarily  due to the
         factors discussed above.

         Interest  (income)  expense,  net.  Net interest  expense  increased by
         $545,000 to $539,000 in the three months  ended June 30, 2000  compared
         to net  interest  income of $6,000 in the three  months  ended June 30,
         1999.  This increase was the result of interest on and  amortization of
         the fees  associated  with the Company's $100 million credit  facility,
         and the amortization of the discount on certain liabilities acquired as
         part of the Safariland acquisition.

         Other income.  Other income increased  $1,583,000 to $1,886,000 in the
         three  months  ended June 30,  2000  compared to $303,000 in the three
         months ended June 30, 1999. The 2000 quarter  includes the gain on the
         sale of the Company's equity investment  in  JSGS of $1.7  million and
         realized and unrealized  gains on other  investments of $116,000.  The
         1999  quarter  includes the gain on the sale of the  Company's  equity
         investment in MACE Security International of $303,000.

         Income before  provision for income taxes.  Income before provision for
         income taxes  increased by $4.2 million or 92.1% to $8.8 million in the
         three months ended June 30, 2000  compared to $4.6 million in the three
         months  ended June 30,  1999,  primarily  due to the reasons  discussed
         above.

         Provision  for income  taxes.  Provision  for income taxes totaled $3.2
         million in the three months  ended June 30,  2000,  as compared to $1.7
         million in the three months  ended June 30,  1999.  The decrease in the
         Company's  effective  tax rate to 37.0%  from  38.0%  last  year is the
         result of a restructuring  of the domestic tax structure of the Company
         and its  subsidiaries.  The provision  was based on the Company's  U.S.
         federal and state statutory income tax rates of  approximately  38% for
         its  U.S.-based  companies  and a 37%  blended  effective  tax rate for
         foreign  operations  of the  Company.  The  effective  tax rate for the
         Company's foreign operations is not necessarily indicative of continued
         tax rates due to continually  changing  concentration of income in each
         country in which the Company operates.

         Net income.  Net income increased $2.7 million or 95.3% to $5.5 million
         in the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $2.8 million in the
         three  months  ended  June  30,  1999,  primarily  due to  the  reasons
         discussed above.

         Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
         1999

         Service  revenues.  Service  revenues  increased by $14.2  million,  or
         55.2%,  to $39.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
         to $25.7  million in the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This increase
         was due to internal  growth and the  inclusion of the  acquisitions  of


                                       13

         Parvus, ASH and FAS acquired in 1999 and Technisec, SCS, NTI and NAS in
         2000.  These  acquisitions  were  accounted for as  purchases,  and the
         results  of their  operations  are  recorded  only for the  period  the
         Company owned them.  Internal  growth within the Services  Division was
         over 25% in the first  six  months  of 2000  compared  to the first six
         months of 1999.

         Products  revenues.  Products revenues  increased by $25.4 million,  or
         63.4%,  to $65.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
         to $40.1  million in the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This increase
         was due to internal growth of 25% and the inclusion of the acquisitions
         of  Safariland  in the second  quarter of 1999 and of Break-Free in the
         first  quarter  of  2000.  These  acquisitions  were  accounted  for as
         purchases,  and the results of their  operations  are recorded only for
         the period the Company owned them.

         Cost of sales.  Cost of sales increased by $26.0 million,  or 65.8%, to
         $65.5  million in the six months ended June 30, 2000  compared to $39.5
         million  in the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999.  The  increase  was
         primarily due to the  increased  revenues for the six months ended June
         30,  2000 over the six months  ended  June 30,  1999,  relating  to the
         internal growth and to the acquisitions  completed.  As a percentage of
         total  revenues,  cost of sales  increased  to 62.2% for the six months
         ended June 30, 2000 from 60.1% for the six months  ended June 30, 1999,
         due to a  change  in the mix of  products  and  services  sold  and the
         shipments of several large  international  and governmental  orders for
         products at margins below our typical margins.

         Operating  expenses.  Operating expenses increased by $6.3 million, or
         37.7%,  to $23.0 million  (21.8% of total  revenues) in the six months
         ended  June  30,  2000  compared  to  $16.7  million  (25.4%  of total
         revenues)  in the six months ended June 30,  1999.  This  increase was
         primarily due to the acquisitions completed since June 30, 1999, which
         are included in the six months ended June 30, 2000, but not in the six
         months  ended June 30, 1999.  The  decrease as a  percentage  of total
         revenues is reflective of the increasing revenue base and fixed nature
         of certain of these expenses.

         Amortization.  Amortization  expense increased  $447,000,  or 43.2%, to
         $1,482,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $1,035,000
         in the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily due
         to additional amortization of intangible assets acquired as a result of
         the  acquisitions  of Parvus,  ASH and FAS during the second quarter of
         1999 and the acquisitions of Break-Free,  Technisec,  SCS, NTI, NAS and
         OVG during the first and  second  quarters  of 2000 that would not have
         been reflected in the quarter ended June 30,1999.

         Equity in  earnings  of  investees.  Equity in  earnings  of  investees
         decreased by $79,000 to $87,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000,
         compared to $166,000 in the six months ended June 30,  1999. The equity
         in  earnings  relates  to  the  Company's  20%  investment  in  Jardine
         Securicor Gurkha Services Limited ("JSGS").

         Integration  and  other  non-recurring  charges.  Integration  charges
         increase by $810,000 or 125.4% to  $1,456,000  in the six months ended
         June 30, 2000  compared  to $646,000 in the six months  ended June 30,
         1999.  These costs relate to the  integration of the Company's  recent
         acquisitions,   and  the  increase  reflects  the  greater  number  of
         acquisitions compared to the year earlier period.

                                       14

         Operating  income.  Operating income increased $6.0 million or 74.0% to
         $14.1  million in the six months  ended June 30, 2000  compared to $8.1
         million in the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  primarily  due to the
         factors discussed above.

         Interest  (income)  expense,  net.  Net interest  expense  increased by
         $636,000 to $586,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000  compared to
         net  interest  income of $50,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999.
         This  increase  was the result of interest on and  amortization  of the
         fees  associated with the Company's $100 million credit  facility,  and
         the  amortization  of the discount on certain  liabilities  acquired as
         part of the Safariland acquisition.

         Other income.  Other income  increased  $1.1 million to $1.9 million in
         the six months ended June 30, 2000  compared to $0.8 million in the six
         months ended June 30, 1999.  The first six months of 2000  includes the
         gain on the  sale of the  Company's  equity  investment  in  JSGS,  and
         realized  and  unrealized  gains on other  investments.  The  first six
         months of 1999  includes the gain on the sale of the  Company's  equity
         investment in MACE Security International of $816,000.

         Income before  provision for income taxes.  Income before provision for
         income taxes increased by $6.4 million or 71.7% to $15.4 million in the
         six months  ended June 30,  2000  compared  to $8.9  million in the six
         months  ended June 30,  1999,  primarily  due to the reasons  discussed
         above.

         Provision  for income  taxes.  Provision  for income taxes totaled $5.7
         million in the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  as  compared  to $3.4
         million in the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  decrease  in the
         Company's  effective  tax rate to 37.4%  from  37.7%  last  year is the
         result of a restructuring  of the domestic tax structure of the Company
         and its  subsidiaries.  The provision  was based on the Company's  U.S.
         federal and state statutory income tax rates of  approximately  38% for
         its  U.S.-based  companies  and a 37%  blended  effective  tax rate for
         foreign  operations  of the  Company.  The  effective  tax rate for the
         Company's foreign operations is not necessarily indicative of continued
         tax rates due to continually  changing  concentration of income in each
         country in which the Company operates.

         Net income.  Net income increased $4.0 million or 72.5% to $9.6 million
         in the six months  ended June 30, 2000  compared to $5.6 million in the
         six months ended June 30, 1999,  primarily due to the reasons discussed
         above.


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

                  The Company  anticipates  that cash generated from operations
         and  borrowings  under the Company's  credit  facility will enable the
         Company to meet its liquidity, working capital and capital expenditure
         requirements  during the next 12 months.  The  Company,  however,  may
         require additional  financing to pursue its strategy of growth through
         acquisitions.  If such financing is required,  there are no assurances
         that it will be available, or if available, that it can be obtained on
         terms  favorable  to the Company or on a basis that is not dilutive to
         stockholders.

                  The   Company's   spending   for  its  fiscal   2000   capital
         expenditures will be approximately  $3.0 million,  of which the Company
         has already spent approximately $2.0 million.

                                       15
<PAGE>

                  As of June 30, 2000 and  December  31,  1999,  the Company had
         working capital of $65.2 million and $54.0 million, respectively.


         Year 2000 Activities
         --------------------

                  As described  in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended  December
          31, 1999, we had developed plans to address our potential exposures to
          our systems related to the Year 2000.  Since entering the Year 2000,
          we have not experienced any significant disruptions to our business
          nor are we aware of any  significant  Year  2000  related  disruptions
          impacting our customers and suppliers. We will continue to monitor our
          systems  and  operations  until  we are  reasonably  assured  that  no
          significant business  interruptions will occur as a result of any Year
          2000  issues.  We spent a total of  approximately  $50,000 on the Year
          2000 Project with no significant additional expenses expected in 2000.


         Forward Looking Statements
         --------------------------

                  We  believe   that  it  is  important   to   communicate   our
         expectations  to  our  investors.  Accordingly,  this  report  contains
         discussion  of events or  results  that have not yet  occurred  or been
         realized.  You can  identify  this type of  discussion,  which is often
         termed  "forward-looking  statements",  by such  words and  phrases  as
         "expects",  "anticipates",  "intends", "plans", "believes", "estimates"
         and "could be".  Execution  of  acquisition  strategies,  expansion  of
         product  lines and increase of  distribution  networks or product sales
         are are as,  among  others,  whose  future  success may be difficult to
         predict. You should read  forward-looking  statements carefully because
         they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future
         results of  operations  or of our  financial  position,  or state other
         expectations  of  future  performance.   The  actions  of  current  and
         potential new competitors, changes in technology, seasonality, business
         cycles and new regulatory  requirements are factors that impact greatly
         upon  strategies and  expectations  and are outside our direct control.
         There may be events in the future  that we are not able  accurately  to
         predict or to control.  Any cautionary  language in this report provide
         examples of risks,  uncertainties  and events that may cause our actual
         results   to  differ   from  the   expectations   we   express  in  our
         forward-looking statements.  Before you invest in our common stock, you
         should be aware that the occurrence of certain of the events  described
         in  this  report  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  results  of
         operations and financial position.


         Risks Associated With International Operations
         ----------------------------------------------

                  The Company  does  business in numerous  countries,  including
         emerging  markets in Africa,  Asia and South  America.  The Company has
         invested  substantial  resources outside of the United States and plans
         to  continue  to do so  in  the  future.  The  Company's  international
         operations  are  subject  to the risk of new and  different  legal  and
         regulatory  requirements  in local  jurisdictions,  tariffs  and  trade
         barriers,   potential  difficulties  in  staffing  and  managing  local
         operations,   potential  imposition  of  restrictions  on  investments,
         potentially adverse tax consequences,  including imposition or increase
         of  withholding  and other taxes on  remittances  and other payments by
         subsidiaries,  and local  economic,  political  and social  conditions.
         Governments of many developing countries have exercised and continue to
         exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector.

                                       16
<PAGE>

         Government  actions in the  future  could  have a  significant  adverse
         effect on economic  conditions in a developing country or may otherwise
         have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company  and  its  operating
         companies.  The Company does not have  political  risk insurance in the
         countries  in  which  it   currently   conducts   business,   but  does
         periodically analyze the need for and cost associated with this type of
         policy.  Moreover,  applicable  agreements  relating  to the  Company's
         interests in its operating companies are frequently governed by foreign
         law. As a result,  in the event of a dispute,  it may be difficult  for
         the Company to enforce its  rights.  Accordingly,  the Company may have
         little or no recourse upon the occurrence of any of these developments.


         ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

                  The Company, as a result of its global operating and financial
         activities,  is exposed to changes  in raw  material  prices,  interest
         rates and foreign  currency  exchange rates which may adversely  affect
         its  results  of  operations  and  financial  position.  In  seeking to
         minimize the risks and/or costs  associated with such  activities,  the
         Company manages  exposures to changes in raw material prices,  interest
         rates and foreign currency exchange rates through its regular operating
         and  financing  activities.  The  Company  does not  utilize  financial
         instruments  for  trading or other  speculative  purposes,  nor does it
         utilize  leveraged  financial  instruments.  The  Company is exposed to
         interest rate risk primarily through its short or long-term borrowings
         under its  credit  agreement.  The  interest  rate  under  the  credit
         agreement  adjusts  periodically.  The  extent  of  this  risk  is not
         quantifiable  or  predictable  because  of the  variability  of future
         interest  rates  and  business  financing   requirements.   Derivative
         instruments  are not presently  used to adjust the Company's  interest
         rate  risk  profile.   The  majority  of  the  Company's  business  is
         denominated  in U.S.  dollars.  There are costs  related to the London
         headquarters  which are denominated in the British  currency.  Several
         other currencies are used by the Company for various transactions, but
         their  effect on the total  business  is  minimal.  By  maintaining  a
         sterling  bank  account,  the Company is able to eliminate any foreign
         currency  exchange  gains or  losses  arising  under  cash paid out in
         British currency.

                                     PART II

         Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

               On January 16, 1998,  our  ArmorGroup  Services  division  ceased
         operations  in the country of Angola.  The  cessation of operations in
         Angola was  dictated  by that  government's  decision to deport all of
         ArmorGroup's expatriate management and supervisors. As a result of the
         cessation of operations in Angola, our ArmorGroup Services division is
         involved in various  disputes  with SHRM S.A.  ("SHRM"),  its minority
         joint venture partner  relating to the Angolan  business.  On March 6,
         1998,  SIA (a  subsidiary of SHRM) filed a complaint  against  Defence
         Systems France,  S.A.  ("DSF") before the Commercial Court of Nanterre
         (Tribunal  de  Commerce de  Nanterre)  seeking to be paid an amount of
         $577,286  corresponding to an alleged debt of DSIA to SIA. On March 5,
         1999, DSF and Defense  Systems  Limited  ("DSL"),  a subsidiary of the
         Company,  filed a claim  seeking  to obtain  damages  from SHRM in the
         amount of $16.1  million.  On  September  20,  1999,  the  Company was
         notified that SHRM and SIA filed a complaint before the chamber of the
         Commercial  Court  of  Paris  against  the  Company,  several  of  its
         subsidiaries,  several  current  and past member of the board of DSIA,
         and other  parties,  seeking  to obtain  damages  in the amount of $20
         million.  On June 27, 2000, the judge of the Commercial Court of Paris
         ruled that SHRM did not provide the evidence required to establish its
         standing,  and  therefore,  the  proceedings  relating  to the  action
         brought by it on September 23, 1999 are cancelled.

               On October 12,  1994,  Second  Chance Body Armor,  Inc.  ("Second
         Chance") filed a complaint  against the Company alleging  infringement
         by the Company of a certain  trademark owned by Second Chance,  unfair
         competition  and certain  related state law claims.  Second Chance has
         claimed  damages  for,  among  other  things,  lost  profits,   unjust
         enrichment  and legal  fees.  One of the  Company's  defenses to these
         claims was that any amounts alleged by Second Chance as damages should
         have been discharged in the Company's  bankruptcy and  reorganization.
         Although the court has preliminarily ruled against the Company on this
         issue, the Company has reserved its rights to appeal that ruling,  and
         currently  intends to do so. The Company's insurer was notified of the
         commencement of the action in question, and assumed the defense of the
         claims on behalf of the Company.  In July, 2000, the Company's insurer
         initially  advised  the  Company  that it would deny  coverage  on the
         claims  and  withdraw  it  defense  thereof.  The  Company  intends to
         vigorously defend this case.

               In addition to the above,  the Company,  in the normal  course of
         business,  is subject to claims and litigation in the areas of product
         and general  liability.  The  Company  believes  that it has  adequate
         insurance  coverage  for most claims  that are  incurred in the normal
         course  of  business.  In such  cases,  the  effect  on the  Company's
         financial  statements  is  generally  limited  to  the  amount  of its
         insurance  deductibles.  Management does not believe at this time that
         any such claims could reasonably be expected to have a material impact
         on the Company's financial position, operations and liquidity.

         ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

                  The Company held its annual  meeting of  Stockholders  on June
         15, 2000. Of the 22,911,749 shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at
         the meeting, 14,720,027 shares of Common Stock  were  present in person
         or by proxy and entitled to vote.  Such number of  shares   represented
         approximately 64.2% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common
         Stock.

                  At the meeting, the Company's Stockholders approved the
         election of Warren B. Kanders,  Jonathan M. Spiller, Burtt R. Ehrlich,
         Nicholas  Sokolow,  Thomas W. Strauss,  Richard C. Bartlett,  Alair A.
         Townsend and Stephen B. Salzman to the  Company's  Board of Directors.
         The Company's  Stockholders  voted as follows in connection  with such
         election:

                                                  FOR          AGAINST

                        Warren B. Kanders       14,666,134      12,465
                        Jonathan M. Spiller     14,666,134      12,465
                        Burtt R. Ehrlich        14,666,134      12,465
