                                 PART I



ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis


         Statements  in this  Quarterly  Report on Form  10-QSB  concerning  the
Company's  business outlook or future economic  performance;  or other financial
items;  and plans and objectives  related  thereto;  and  statements  concerning
assumptions   made  or  expectations  as  to  any  future  events,   conditions,
performance or other matters, are  "forward-looking  statements" as that term is
defined  under the  Federal  Securities  Laws.  Forward-looking  statements  are
subject  to risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors  that could  cause  actual
results to differ materially from those stated in such statements.

         PTI  Holding  Inc.  (collectively  with its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries
referred  to herein  as the  "Company"),  manufactures  and  markets  protective
equipment,  primarily  bicycle  helmets and safety ear plugs.  In addition,  the
Company markets and distributes bicycles and bicycle-related products, and other
safety and medical supplies.

         On August 5, 1997, the Company expanded its line of protective products
by acquiring Flents Products Co., Inc., ("Flents"), which is principally engaged
in the business of the manufacture of wax earplugs and the marketing and sale of
earplugs and other  safety and medical  supplies,  such as an eye drop  delivery
system,  styptic  devices,  and  air-filter  masks.  For  purposes of  financial
accounting  and income  tax,  the Merger was deemed to have  occurred  as of the
opening of business on June 1, 1997.

         On May 12, 1998, Flents acquired certain assets of the Comfees division
of Magnivision,  a subsidiary of American Greetings Corporation,  for a purchase
price of approximately $1,700,000.  Comfees manufactures and distributes contact
lense cases,  liquid  dispensers,  medicine  dispensers,  finger splints and ear
protectors,  among other health and beauty care items. Comfees products are sold
through several mass merchandisers, including K-Mart and Target.

Results of Operations

         The  Company's  net sales were  $11,745,977  during the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, an increase of 89% from its net sales $6,229,506 of for the same
period in 1997.

         The  sales  increase  from  1997 to 1998  resulted  predominantly  from
increased sales to existing customers through the addition of new helmet models,
from increased market share at the expense of competitors,  from increased sales
in existing  models due to growth in the overall helmet  market,  from increased
sales of the Company's bicycle and bicycle accessory products, from the addition
of new retail outlets for the Company's products, from introducing new accessory
product lines, from the Company's  license  arrangements  both with Hasbro,
Inc., to manufacture and market helmets, bicycles and bicycle  accessories under
the PlayskoolTM brand name, and with Mattel,  Inc. to manufacture and market 
helmets under the Barbie(TM) name, and from net sales of its Flents subsidiary 
of $1,856,113, which was acquired June 1, 1997.

         The Company had a net income of $732,265 for the quarter  ended March
31, 1998  compared to the  Company's net income of $758,971 for the same period 
in 1997.

         The cost of sales for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998 was $ 8,054,509
(resulting in a gross profit margin of 31%),  compared to the Company's  cost of
sales of  $3,937,393  for the same period in 1997  (resulting  in a gross profit
margin of 37%). The gross profit margin for the period ended March 31, 1997 was
uncharacteristically high based on previous periods. The gross profit margin 
for the year ended December 31, 1997 was 31%.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  for the quarter  ended
March 31, 1998 was $2,381,616  compared to selling,  general and  administrative
expenses of $964,836 for the same period in 1997.  SG&A as a percentage of sales
were  20.28%  and  15.49%  for  the  periods  ended  March  31,  1998  and  1997
respectively. The increased selling, general and administrative spending in 1998
was  primarily  due to the higher  costs  associated  with the  expansion of the
helmet,  bicycle and bicycle accessory business,  the acquisition of Flents, and
the higher costs for human resources.


Capital Resources

         The Company has satisfied its capital requirements through the proceeds
of its initial public offering of securities,  which resulted in net proceeds of
approximately  $3,800,000,  through  the  proceeds  of  Regulation  "S"  private
placement in November 1994,  which  resulted in gross proceeds of  approximately
$750,000,  through the exercise of certain outstanding options held by employees
and consultants of the Company,  which resulted in net proceeds of approximately
$400,000,  through internal cash flow, through PTI's opening of a revolving line
of credit in May,  1996 and  through the  exercise  of public  warrants in 1997,
which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $3,000,000.

         The  Company's  working  capital at March 31,  1998 was  $9,953,333  as
compared to $6,092,751 at March 31, 1997.

         The cash flows of the Company have fluctuated due to capital  spending,
working  capital  requirements,  and bank loans.  The Company  expects that cash
flows in the near  future  will be  primarily  determined  by the  levels of net
income, working capital requirements,  and financings, if any, undertaken by the
Company.  Net cash decreased by $302,126 and $450,056 in the three-month periods
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         Net cash used in operating  activities was $4,493,785 and $1,605,890 in
the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Net income
was $732,265 and $758,971 for the same periods, respectively.

         Net cash used in investing  activities  was  $2,120,569 and $490,123 in
the three-month  periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Net cash
used in investing  activities pertains to capital expenditures in these periods,
primarily for computer systems and manufacturing equipment.

         Net  cash  provided  by  financing   activities  was   $6,312,228   and
$1,645,957  in  the   three-month   periods  ended  March  31,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.  Cash flows from financing  activities were primarily  affected by
the net bank loans of $6,369,227 and $1,624,054 in these periods, respectively.

         The Company  pays its  employees  and  vendors on a weekly,  monthly or
bimonthly  basis,  while its customers pay for products on an average of 75 days
after  shipment,  and  therefore the Company has  substantial  needs for working
capital.  As of March 31, 1998,  the Company had $380,034 of cash  available for
its cash needs, compared to cash overdraft of $(88,178) as of March 31, 1997.

         On May 6, 1996,  the Company  opened a revolving  line of credit at Key
Bank of New York. The line of credit is collateralized by inventory, receivables
and other assets.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $8,437,488  outstanding
pursuant to such line of credit  ($12,000,000  available,  including  $2,000,000
specifically for the future capital expenditures).

         Based on the  Company's  current  plans,  management  anticipates  that
current cash balances,  together with the Company's line of credit and cash flow
generated from  operations,  will be sufficient to continue to fund  production,
purchase of equipment, increased marketing activities and continued research and
development,  as  well as the  rest  of the  Company's  cash  requirements,  for
approximately the next 18 months.

         The  Company's  research and  development  efforts are directed  toward
developing  new  products,   improving   existing   products  and  refining  its
manufacturing  processes.  Such  research  and  development  costs  amounted  to
approximately  $47,000  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998 and  approximately
$25,000 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997.  It is expected  that the Company
will spend  approximately  $150,000 on research and development  during the 1998
year.


Year 2000 Compliance

         The Company is currently in the process of finalizing its  installation
of the SAP R/3 accounting system, which will be year 2000 compliant. The Company
does not anticipate any material  additional  costs with regard to its year 2000
compliance.

         The year 2000  issue is  expected  to affect  the  systems  of  various
entities  with which the Company  interacts,  including  suppliers  and vendors.
However,  there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which
the  Company's  systems  rely will be  timely  converted,  or that a failure  by
another  company's  systems to be year 2000 compliant  would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

        results of their  operations  and their cash flows for the three  months
        ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.  The results of operations for an interim
        period are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be attained in
        any other fiscal period.


2.      Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
        Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128  ("SFAS  128"),
        "Earnings  Per Share".  This  statement  establishes  new  standards for
        computing  and  presenting  earnings  per  share  (EPS),  replacing  the
        presentation  of formerly  required  primary EPS with a presentation  of
        basic EPS. For entries with complex  capital  structures,  the statement
        requires dual presentation of both basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face
        of the statement of  operations.  Under this new standard,  basic EPS is
        computed based on weighted  average shares  outstanding and excludes any
        potential  dilution.  Diluted EPS reflects  potential  dilution from the
        exercise or  conversion  of  securities  into common stock or from other
        contracts to issue common  stock.  The Company  adopted SFAS 128 for its
        financial  statements  issued for the year ended  December 31, 1997. The
        Company  restated its EPS data for the three months ended March 31, 1997
        to conform to the provisions of SFAS 128.

        In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
        Comprehensive  Income",  which  establishes  standards for reporting and
        display of comprehensive income and its components  (revenue,  expenses,
        gains,  and  losses)  in  a  full  set  of  general  purpose   financial
        statements.  The Company  adopted No. SFAS 130 in the first quarter 1998
        which did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

        In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures about segments
        of an Enterprise and Related  Information",  which establishes standards
        for  the  way  public  business  enterprises  report  information  about
        operating segments in interim and annual financial  statements.  It also
        establishes   standards  for  related  disclosures  about  products  and
        services,  geographic areas and major customers.  The Company will adopt
        SFAS No. 131 for the year ending December 31, 1998.

        

3.      Contingent liabilities:

        Certain claims,  suits and complaints  arising in the ordinary course of
        business  have been filed or are  pending  against the  Company.  In the
        opinion of management, all matters are without merit or of such kind, or
        involve  such  amounts,  as would  not  have a  material  effect  on the
        financial position and results of operations of the Company if concluded
        unfavorably.

        While the Company has not experienced any product  liability  claims, it
        presently  cannot be  determined if its product  liability  insurance is
        adequate to cover any losses that may arise.


4.      Subsequent event:

        On May 12,  1998,  the Company  acquired  certain  assets of the Comfees
        division of Magnivision, a subsidiary of American Greetings Corporation,
        for a purchase price of approximately  $1,700,000.  Comfees manufactures
        and  distributes  contact  lense  cases,  liquid  dispensers,   medicine
        dispensers,  finger splints and ear  protectors,  among other health and
        beauty  care items.  Comfees  products  are sold  through  several  mass
        merchandisers, including K-Mart and Target.


5.      Related party transactions:

        At March 31, 1998, officers/directors owed the Company approximately
        $1,150,000.  These loans bear interest at 6% per annum. 

        For the period ended March 31, 1998, the Company recognized interest 
        income of approximately $10,750 from loans to officers/directors.
