Ballistic-resistant Equipment

         In November 1992, the Company acquired  Protective Apparel  Corporation
of America  ("PACA"),  which  manufactures  and distributes  ballistic-resistant
equipment   and  apparel  and  related   products   used  by  police  and  other
law-enforcement and security personnel.  In August 1995, the Company,  through a
wholly owned  subsidiary  now known as Point Blank Body Armor,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter,  "Point Blank"), acquired from a trustee in bankruptcy
certain assets (the "Point Blank  Assets"),  free of all  liabilities,  of Point
Blank Body Armor,  L.P.,  and an affiliated  company  (collectively,  "Old Point
Blank"), for a cash payment of $2,000,000 at an auction held pursuant to Chapter
7 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code (the  "Bankruptcy  Code").  Prior to the
filing of the  petition  in  bankruptcy,  Old Point  Blank had been the  leading
<PAGE>
manufacturer of bullet resistant garments and related  accessories.  In February
1997,  the  Company  acquired   Zunblindage   S.A.,  a  privately  held  Belgian
Corporation  in  exchange  for a  total  of  666,000  shares  of  the  Company's
registered  common  stock.   Zunblindage  is  engaged  in  the  manufacture  and
distribution of bullet  resistant  equipment,  apparel and related  products and
specializes in sales  distribution and marketing in the European theater and the
Middle East regions.  PACA, Point Blank, and Zunblindage are now wholly owned by
DHB Armor Group,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the "Armor Group"),  which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

         PACA  was  founded  in 1975 and has been  engaged  in the  development,
manufacture  and  distribution  of bullet-  and  projectile-resistant  garments,
including bullet-resistant vests, fragmentation vests,  bomb-protection blankets
and tactical  load-bearing  vests.  Old Point Blank was founded in 1975 and was,
prior to its bankruptcy,  the leading United States  manufacturer of bullet- and
projectile-resistant  garments.  In addition to these  products,  both companies
distribute other ballistic-protection devices including helmets and shields, and
the Armor Group will continue to do so.  Zunblindage is a forty year old company
with ties throughout Europe and has been engaged in the development, manufacture
and distribution of bullet resistant equipment, apparel and related products. In
1993, PACA began  manufacturing  and  distributing a line of reversible  utility
jackets  which is marketed  under the trade name "DHB USA",  and a line of nylon
tactical  equipment  (holsters,  gun cases and specialty  utility bags) which is
marketed under the trade name "DHB Systems". The Armor Group's products are sold
through a nationwide  independent sales  representative and distributor  network
primarily to domestic  law  enforcement  agencies,  the U.S.  military,  various
federal government agencies, federal and state correctional facilities,  highway
patrols  and  sheriffs'  departments.   In  1990,  in  connection  with  certain
transactions,  PACA entered into a domestic  and  international  non-competition
agreement with American Body Armor & Equipment,  restricting the Company's right
to sell products outside the United States and to certain domestic  distributors
prior to 2000. In August 1995,  the Armor Group  purchased  the  agreement  from
American Body Armor & Equipment,  Inc., for a cash payment of $250,000,  thereby
terminating  this  agreement  and the  restriction  on the Armor  Group  against
international sales.


Protective Athletic Equipment

         On  December   20,  1994,   the  Company   started  up  a  business  of
manufacturing  and  distributing  protective  athletic  equipment and apparel by
purchasing (the "NDL Transaction"),  through a wholly-owned subsidiary now known
as NDL Products,  Inc., a Florida corporation  (hereinafter,  "NDL"), the assets
(the "NDL Assets") of N.D.L. Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation,  and of its
wholly  owned  subsidiaries,  for a cash  payment  of  $3,080,000,  net of  cash
acquired,  at an auction held  pursuant to Chapter 7 the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code.
Prior   to   the   transaction   and   a   conversion,    the   Seller   was   a
debtor-in-possession,  under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code. The transaction
was  consummated  pursuant to an order of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court,  Southern
District of Florida dated 12-20-94.  NDL distributes protective athletic apparel
and equipment, such as elbow, breast, hip, groin, knee, shin and ankle supports,
and wrist, elbow, groin and knee braces.
<PAGE>
Orthopedic Products

         The Company has entered the orthopedic  products  business by acquiring
the  outstanding  capital  stock  of  Orthopedic   Products,   Inc.,  a  Florida
corporation  ("OPI").  The Company issued 270,000 shares (after giving effect to
he  Stock  Dividend)  of its  registered  Common  Stock in  March  1996,  in two
transactions,  in  exchange  for all the  outstanding  capital  stock of OPI. In
August,  1996 Mr. Jeff Schepp and Mr. Leon Wagner, the former  shareholders from
whom the Company  acquired  the stock of OPI,  resigned as officers of OPI.  The
Company   initiated   legal  actions   against  the  former   shareholders   for
misrepresentation.  This matter was settled in mediation on April 23, 1997 which
resulted in the return of 38,625 shares of the Company's  common stock.  In each
of the years  ended  September  30,  1995 and  1994,  OPI had sales in excess of
$3,000,000 and losses of approximately $200,000 in 1995 and $41,000 in 1994. See
"Business"  and  "Management".  OPI is  engaged in the  manufacture  and sale of
medical and or orthopedic products.

         writing,"  for remote  document  signature and  authentication,  remote
         issuance of bank or brokerage  cashier's checks and the facilitation of
         COD payment transactions.  This interest was acquired in April 1994 for
         425,000 shares of the Company's Registered Common Stock. The net assets
         were  written  down in 1996. See "Other  Business -  Write-down  of Net

         Zydacron's  family of codec  products  offers a low-cost  full-function
         "codec engine" that meets existing video teleconferencing environments.

         Darwin Molecular Corporation ("DMC"), which hopes to use DNA sequencing
         to create novel drugs for the treatment of cancer, AIDS and auto-immune
         disease. On December 18, 1996 Chiroscience Group plc, a publicly traded
         company  located in England,  acquired  Darwin  Molecular.  The Company
         received  approximately  394,000 shares of Chiroscience in exchange for

the Company (the  "Selling  Shareholders").  The Company will not receive any of
the proceeds from the sale of these shares.  See "Selling  Shareholders".  There
are, as of April 28, 1997,  24,045,583 shares of Common Stock  outstanding,  and
warrants to purchase an additional 5,437,500 shares.

The Shares  offered  hereby  constitute  approximately  17% of all shares of the
Company's  outstanding  Common Stock  (without  giving effect to the exercise of
outstanding  warrants).  The  resale of  Acquisition  Shares  by the  recipients
thereof and the resale of the shares by the Selling  Shareholders  in connection
with any particular acquisition, if and when made, may be made through customary
brokerage channels either through broker-dealers acting as agents or brokers for
or through broker-dealers acting as principals who may then resell the Shares in
the  over-the-counter  market or otherwise,  and such broker-dealers may receive
compensation  in the form of  discounts,  concessions  or  commissions  from the
recipients of Acquistion Shares or Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of
Shares  for whom  such  broker-dealers  may act as agent or to whom they sell as
principal, or both (which compensation as to any particular broker-dealer may be
in excess of customary  commissions);  sales may be at fixed prices which may be
changed,  at market prices  prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices,  or at negotiated  prices, or by a combination of
such  methods.  The  period of  distribution  of the  Shares  may occur  over an
extended  period of time.  The Company has no interest  in, and will  receive no
proceeds  from any  sales of the  Shares.  The  Company  will not pay or  assume
brokerage  commissions  or discounts  incurred in the sale of any of the Shares.
See "Plan of distribution."

Previous Offerings, Redemption of Warrants, Conversion of Class A Shares

         The Company has filed two other registration  statements (Nos. 33-70678
and  33-96846)  pursuant to which  305,625  shares (the  "Warrant  Shares") were
issued  by the  Company  pursuant  to the  exercise  of  certain  warrants  (the
"Redeemable Warrants") at a price of $2.66 per share prior to November 30, 1995,
and 173,436 shares (the "Conversion  Shares") were issued upon conversion of the
Company's  outstanding Class A convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value (the

Shares were called for  redemption,  and all were tendered for  conversion.  The
Company realized $815,000 from the exercise of Redeemable Warrants.

                               SEC Consent Decree 

         David H. Brooks, Chairman and principal shareholder of the Company, and
his brother, Mr. Jeffrey Brooks, and Jeffrey Brooks Securities, Inc. ("JBSI"), a
company wholly owned by Mr. Jeffrey  Brooks,  entered into a consent decree with
the SEC in December 1992.  Without  admitting or denying any  allegations,  they
were assessed a fine and agreed to be enjoined from future violations of Section
15(b) and 15(f) of the Exchange  Act. Mr. David Brooks is barred from having any
direct or indirect interest in, or acting as a director, officer or employee of,
any  broker,  dealer,  municipal  securities  dealer,   investment  advisor,  or

five-year  period.  Mr.  David  Brooks is not  barred  from  being an officer or
director  of any  public  company  other  than  a  registered  broker-dealer  or
investment company.  Mr. Jeffrey Brooks was prohibited (for a period of one year
which ended December 1993) from acting in a supervisory capacity with respect to
any employee or any broker,  dealer,  municipal  securities  dealer,  investment
company or investment adviser,  and JBSI (his company) was required to institute
and  maintain  procedures  pursuant to Section  15(f) of the  Exchange  Act. Mr.
Jeffrey  Brooks is a Selling  Shareholder.  See  "Risk  Factors,"  "Management,"
"Principal Shareholders," "Selling Shareholders," and "Certain Transactions."

                                  RISK FACTORS


         The  securities  offered are  speculative  and involve a high degree of
risk.  They should be purchased only by persons who can afford the loss of their
entire  investment.   Prospective  investors,  prior  to  making  an  investment
decision,  should carefully read this Prospectus and consider,  along with other
matters referred to herein, the following Risk Factors:

RELATING TO THE SECURITIES:

         Depressive Effect on Market of Untimely Sales by Selling  Shareholders;
Shares  Eligible for Future Sale. The Company has engaged in private  placements
of unregistered securities,  including the Shares covered by this Prospectus, at
prices below  prevailing  market prices for  registered  shares at the times the
private  placements were effected.  In February 1997, the Company issued 666,000
registered  shares to acquire  Zunblindage.  In March 1996,  the Company  issued
270,000  registered  shares (after  giving effect to the 50% stock  dividend) to
acquire OPI. The Company  initiated a lawsuit alleging  misrepresentation  which
was settled in  mediation  and resulted in the return and  retirement  of 38,625
shares of the Company's Common Stock. See Pending  Litigation.  In October 1995,
the Company adopted a plan (the "1995 Stock Option Plan" or the "Plan") pursuant
to which the Board of  Directors  of the  Company is  authorized  to award up to
3,500,000  options to purchase  Common  Stock (the "Plan  Options") to officers,
employees and independent contractors of the Company. The Company has also filed
a  registration  statement  covering the shares (the "Plan  Shares")  acquirable
under the Plan Options. At the present time, no Plan Options have been awarded.

         Exercise of  Outstanding  Warrants May Have Dilutive  Effect on Market.
There  are  presently  outstanding  warrants  or  options   (collectively,   the
"Miscellaneous  Warrants")  to purchase  approximately  5,437,500  shares of the
Company's  Common  Stock,  after giving effect to the 50% Stock  Dividend,  with
exercise  prices ranging from $1.33 to $2.66 per share,  for various terms of up
to 5 years,  which are held by certain of the Company's officers or directors or
their affiliates.  The Miscellaneous  Warrants provide,  during their respective
terms,  an opportunity  for the holder to profit from a rise in the market price
of the Common Stock,  with resulting  dilution in the ownership  interest in the
Company  held by the then  present  shareholders.  Holders of the  Miscellaneous
Warrants  would most likely  exercise  them and purchase the  underlying  Common
Stock at a time when the Company may be able to obtain capital by a new offering
of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by such  Miscellaneous
Warrants,  in which  event the terms on which the  Company may be able to obtain
additional capital would be adversely affected. At the present time, neither the
Miscellaneous  Warrants nor the shares underlying the Miscellaneous Warrants are
registered  under the Act,  but the Company  reserves  the right to do so at any
time.

         Rights of Common  Shareholders May be Affected by Issuance of Preferred
Shares.  The Company's  Delaware  charter  authorizes  the Board of Directors to
issue up to  5,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock,  $0.001  par  value of the
Company, in such amounts and with such rights to dividends,  voting, conversion,
redemption and other terms as the Board may determine.  No preferred  shares are
presently  issued or  outstanding.  If the  Board  were to  authorize  and issue
preferred  shares,  the holders of preferred shares may be entitled to dividends
in preference to the holders of the common stock, may be entitled to preferences
in  liquidation,  and may be  entitled  to voting  rights,  which may affect the
composition  of the Board of Directors.  See  "Dividends"  and  "Description  of
Securities".
<PAGE>
         Increase in Authorized  Shares of Common Stock. On December 30, 1996 at
a Special Meeting of the Stockholders, an amendment to the Company's Certificate
of  Incorporation  was approved,  increasing the number of authorized  shares of
Common Stock from 25,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. This amendment became
effective on December 31, 1996.

         Dividends.  The Company has paid no cash  dividends on its Common Stock
and does  not  anticipate  paying  cash  dividends  on its  Common  Stock in the
foreseeable  future.  The Company's  ability to pay dividends is dependent upon,
among other  things,  future  earnings,  the  operating  results  and  financial
condition of the Company, its capital requirements,  general business conditions
and other  pertinent  factors,  and is subject to the discretion of the Board of
Directors.  The Board is  authorized  to  issue,  at any time  hereafter,  up to
5,000,000  shares of  preferred  stock on such  terms and  conditions  as it may
determine, which may include preferences as to dividends.  Accordingly, there is
no assurance that any dividends will ever be paid on the Company's Common Stock.
See "Certain Market Information and Dividends" and Description of Securities".


RELATING TO THE BUSINESS OF THE ARMOR GROUP:

         Concentration of Business Activities; Dependence on Major Customer. The
market for  products of the Armor Group is, in large part,  composed of domestic
and  international,  military,  and civil  authorities.  Accordingly,  the Armor
Group's  operations  are subject to the risk of  fluctuations  in the demand for
such products by such authorities.  Point Blank had a significant  international
customer,  Egypt,  which  accounted  for 12% of Point Blank's sales for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

         Reliance Upon  Governmental  Spending.  The Armor Group's  products are
sold nationally and  internationally,  primarily to law enforcement agencies and
military  services.  Sales  to  domestic  law  enforcement  agencies,  including
government, security and intelligence agencies, police departments,  federal and
state  correctional  facilities,   highway  patrol  and  sheriffs'  departments,
comprise the largest  portion of the Armor Group's  business.  Accordingly,  any
substantial  reduction in governmental spending or change in emphasis in defense
and law enforcement  programs could have a material  adverse effect on the Armor
Group's business. See "Business - DHB Armor Group - Customers."

         Products  Liability.  The products  manufactured by the Armor Group are
used in applications  where the failure of such products could result in serious
personal  injuries  and  death.  The Armor  Group  maintains  product  liability
insurance  for both  PACA and  Point  Blank in the  amount  of  $11,000,000  per
occurrence  and  $12,000,000 in the  aggregate,  excluding  legal fees which are
borne  by  the  insurance  carriers,  less a  $12,500  deductible.  There  is no
assurance  that these  amounts  would be  sufficient to cover the payment of any
potential  claim.  In  addition,  there is no  assurance  that this or any other
insurance  coverage will  continue to be available  or, if available,  that PACA
and/or  Point  Blank  will  be able  to  obtain  it at a  reasonable  cost.  Any
substantial  uninsured loss would have to be paid out of the assets of the Armor
<PAGE>
Group,  as applicable,  and may have a material  adverse effect on the Company's
financial  condition and operations on a consolidated  basis.  In addition,  the
inability to obtain  product  liability  coverage  would  prohibit PACA or Point
Blank, as applicable,  from bidding for orders from certain municipal  customers
since,  at present,  many  municipal  bids require such  coverage,  and any such
inability  would  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial
condition and results of operations, on a consolidated basis.

         Limited  Sources of Raw Material.  The primary raw material used by the
Armor  Group  in  60%  of  its  manufacturing  ballistic-resistant  garments  is
Kevlar(TM),  a  patented  product  of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours  Co.,  Inc.  ("Du
Pont").  Du Pont and its European  licensee are currently the only  producers of
Kevlar.  The Armor Group purchases  Kevlar in the form of woven cloth from three
independent  weaving  companies.  In the event Du Pont or its licensee in Europe
cease, for any reason, to produce and sell Kevlar, the Company would be required
to  utilize  other   fabrics  as  a  substitute.   The  Armor  Group  also  uses
Spectrashield(TM)  and  SpectraFibre(TM),  patented  products of Allied  Signal,
Inc.,   as  a   ballistic-resistant   fabric   and  has   tested  a  new   woven
ballistic-resistant fabric, to reduce dependence on Kevlar.  SpectrashieldTM and
SpectraFibreTM have been used in combination with Kevlar in approximately 20% of
all vests sold by the Armor Group.  Neither  SpectrashieldTM nor SpectraFibreTM,
due to their  respective  physical  characteristics,  is  expected  to  become a
complete substitute for Kevlar in the near future. In the opinion of management,
the  Armor  Group  enjoys a good  relationship  with its  suppliers  of  Kevlar,
SpectrashieldTM  and Spec traFibreTM.  Until the Armor Group secured an adequate
supply of an alternative fabric and appropriate  ballistic tests were performed,
its  operations  would be severely  curtailed  and the Armor  Group's  financial
condition  and  operations  would be  adversely  affected.  See  "Business - Raw
Materials, Sources and Availability".

         Competition.   The  ballistic-resistant   garment  industry  is  highly
competitive.   Some  competitors  may  have   substantially   greater  financial
resources,   brand  recognition,   market  share,   marketing  power  and  other
competitive  advantages  over the  competitors  in the  business,  including the
Company.  The Company believes that the principal elements of competition in the
sale of  ballistic-resistant  garments are price and  quality.  The Company must
therefore  maintain   profitable  prices  and  control  costs  and  quality.  As
manufacturing  technology  changes,  there can be no assurance  that the Company
will continue to be able to manufacture its products at competitive prices.

         Bankruptcies  of Prior Owners of Certain Assets.  The Company  acquired
the assets of NDL from a  debtor-in-possession  under the  Bankruptcy  Code, and
certain assets of Old Point Blank from a trustee in bankruptcy. The prior owners
became unable to utilize the assets in a profitable  business,  and there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to utilize the assets on a profitable
basis.

         New Venture in  Zunblindage  S.A. In late  February  1997,  the Company
expanded its bullet  resistant  business  into the European  market by acquiring
Zunblindage S.A. a company located in Liege, Belgium.  Zunblindage had sales for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 of over $1,000,000 with breakeven net
income for the year ended  December  31,  1996 and a $30,000  net income for the
year ended December 31, 1995.  There can be no assurance that  Zunblindage  will
become profitable or that its losses will not grow.
<PAGE>
RELATING TO  THE BUSINESS OF NDL:

         Limited Operating  History.  NDL is a new business with only two year's
operating  history.  NDL has very limited business  experience and is subject to
all the risks in the  establishment of any new business venture.  Therefore,  in
addition  to  other  risk  factors,  the  likelihood  of NDL's  success  must be
considered in light of the problems, expenses,  difficulties,  complications and
delays frequently  encountered in the development of a new business. The Company
entered the protective athletic equipment and apparel business by purchasing the
inventory,  trademarks,  trade names,  equipment,  and certain other assets of a
failed  enterprise from a trustee in bankruptcy.  Senior management of NDL, have
all been hired since January 1, 1995. See "Management"; see, also, "Bankruptcies
of Prior Owners of Certain Assets," above.

         Significant Competition.  The protective athletic equipment and apparel
business is highly  competitive.  NDL believes  that the  principal  elements of
competition  are  price  and  quality.  The major  manufacturers  of  protective
athletic equipment include well-known brands like Everlast, Roller Blade and Ace
Bandage,  and  lesser  known  manufacturers  such as Tru-fit  Manufacturing,  of
Boston, Massachusetts, Stromgren Co., of Kansas City, Missouri, and Mueller Co.,
of Wisconsin.  Some competitors have substantially  greater financial resources,
brand  recognition,   market  share,   marketing  power  and  other  competitive
advantages over the smaller competitors in the business,  including the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete  successfully
in this business.

RELATING TO THE BUSINESS OF OPI:

         Limited Operating History.  In late March 1996, the Company entered the
orthopedic  products  business by acquiring OPI, which had sales in its last two
fiscal  years of over  $3,000,000,  and  losses or  approximately  $200,000  and
$41,000, respectively, in the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. In August
1996, Mr. Schepp and Mr. Wagner,  the former  shareholders from whom the Company
acquired  the  stock  of OPI,  resigned  as  officers  of OPI.  There  can be no
assurance that OPI will become profitable or that its losses will not grow.

RELATING TO OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

         Possible Acquisition of Unidentified Businesses. The Company intends to
continue to diversify its business  operations through the possible  acquisition
of one or more operating companies. The Company has not presently identified any
specific business or industry in which it intends to expand through the purchase
or development of a business.  Up to 4,000,000  Acquisition Shares being offered
hereby are reserved for issuance in one or more future business acquisitions and
may be resold by the recipients thereof. Purchasers of the Shares offered hereby
will have no opportunity to evaluate or to have a voice in the  determination of
the business or  businesses  that the Company may  purchase.  In  addition,  the
Company is  presently  a passive  investor  in several  other  public or private
companies  and has little or no control  over the  business  and affairs of such
entities. See "Business" and "Management".
<PAGE>
         Need  for  Additional  Financing.   The  Company  has,  throughout  its
existence,  obtained funds for  acquisitions and operations from term bank loans
for  periods  of up to a  year,  which  have  been  secured,  in  part,  by  the
controlling  shareholder's  hypothecation of marketable securities. In the past,
the  Company  has  always  been able to roll over such  loans  with new loans at
prevailing interest rates. At the present time, it has a loan of $1,400,000 from
The Bank of New York ("BNY,") coming due in May 1997. There is no assurance that
the Company  will be able to roll over such term loans as they become due.  See,
also, "Financial Accommodations by Related Persons."

         Financial  Accommodations  by Related  Persons.  David H.  Brooks,  the
Company's Chairman and principal shareholder,  previously loaned the Company the
funds  necessary to complete the  acquisition  of PACA.  The Company  repaid Mr.
Brooks' loan from the  proceeds of private  placements  completed  in 1993.  Mr.
Brooks and his wife,  Mrs.  Terry  Brooks,  made loans  totaling  $1,140,000  in
connection  with the  start-up of NDL,  and they have  pledged  certain of their
personal  assets to  guaranty  term  loans made by the  Banks.  The  outstanding
balance on this loan is presently  $550,000.  In connection with the purchase of
the  Point  Blank  Assets,  Mr.  David H.  Brooks  made a loan in the  amount of
$2,000,000,  of which  $750,000 is still  outstanding.  The Company is currently
indebted to Mr. and Mrs.  Brooks in the  principal  sum of  $1,300,000  expiring
April 1997 and has been renewed until November 1998 bearing  interest at 12% per
year. All term loans from banks which the Company has obtained  since  inception
have been secured, in part, by the hypothecation of marketable  securities owned
by Mr. and Mrs.  Brooks.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company  will not
require similar  accommodations  in the future or that Mr. and Mrs. David Brooks
will be able or willing to do so on terms  acceptable to the Company.  An entity
controlled  by Mrs.  Terry Brooks and  beneficially  owned by the Brooks'  minor
children  leased (as  lessor)  the  facility  occupied by NDL and Point Blank in
Oakland Park,  Florida.  While the Company believes that no future  transactions
will be entered  into  between  the Company and its  officers,  directors  or 5%
shareholders  unless such  transactions  are on terms no less  favorable  to the
Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated  third parties,  any current or
future transactions between the Company and such affiliates may involve possible
conflicts of interest.  See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations,"  "Business -  Properties"  and
"Certain Transactions".

RELATING TO MANAGEMENT:

         Control by  Management.  David H. Brooks  currently  beneficially  owns
approximately  59% of the outstanding  Common Stock.  His brother owns 2,353,500
shares  (8%),  and each  disclaims  beneficial  ownership of shares owned by the
other.  Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights,  and each shareholder
is  entitled to cast one vote per share on all  matters  submitted  to a vote of
shareholders, including the election of directors, and so shareholders holding a
majority of the  outstanding  shares will be able to elect all of the directors.
Accordingly,  Mr.  David  Brooks  is able to elect all of the  directors  of the
Company  and  generally  direct  the  management  of  the  Company,   and  other
shareholders will be unable to elect any members of the Board of Directors.  See
"Principal Shareholders" and "Description of Securities - Common Stock".
<PAGE>
         SEC Consent  Decree  Affecting the Chairman.  Mr. David Brooks  entered
into a consent  decree in  December  1992 with the SEC,  together  with  Jeffrey
Brooks, his brother and owner of Jeffrey Brooks Securities,  Inc. ("JBSI").  The
SEC had filed a civil  complaint  in the United  States  District  Court for the
Southern  District of New York (Docket No. 922846)  alleging that an employee of
JBSI was  involved in an unlawful  insider-trading  scheme  allegedly  conducted
through  JBSI and the  filing  of false  information  by JBSI,  which was then a
registered broker-dealer.  The SEC alleged that JBSI did not establish, maintain
or enforce  policies and procedures that are required under Section 15(f) of the
Exchange Act,  designed to detect and prevent  insider trading by an employee of
JBSI, and that JBSI did not make required disclosures under Section 15(b) of the
Exchange  Act. The SEC further  alleged that David  Brooks  exercised  "de facto
control"  of certain  aspects  of JBSI's  operations  and that David  Brooks and
Jeffrey Brooks aided and abetted the reporting  violations of JBSI.  Pursuant to
the settlement of these charges,  without admitting or denying such allegations,
David Brooks,  Jeffrey Brooks and JBSI were assessed an aggregate  civil fine of
$405,000 and were enjoined from future  violations of Section 15(b) and 15(f) of
the  Exchange  Act;  David  Brooks was barred from having any direct or indirect
interest  in, or acting as a  director,  officer or  employee  of,  any  broker,
dealer, municipal securities dealer,  investment advisor, or investment company,
provided  that  David  Brooks is able to apply to become so  associated  after a
five-year  period;  Jeffrey Brooks was  prohibited  from acting in a supervisory
capacity  with  respect  to  any  employee  or  any  broker,  dealer,  municipal
securities dealer,  investment company or investment advisor for a period of one
year,  which ended in December  1993;  and JBSI was  required to  institute  and
maintain  procedures  pursuant to Section  15(f) of the Exchange  Act. Mr. David
Brooks is not under any  prohibition  from  serving as an officer or director of
any  public  company  other than a  registered  broker-dealer  or an  investment
company.   Mr.  Jeffrey  Brooks  is  one  of  the  Selling   Shareholders.   See

         Reliance Upon Key  Personnel.  The Company is  substantially  dependent
upon the personal efforts and abilities of Mr. David H. Brooks,  Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive  Officer,  and to a lesser extent,  Ms. Mary Kreidell,
Secretary and  Treasurer,  and, at present,  Leonard Rosen the President of PACA
and Sandra  Hatfield the President of Point Blank.  Should any of the members of
the  Company's  senior  management  be unable or  unwilling to continue in their
present roles, or should such person  determine to enter into  competition  with
the Company, the Company's business could be adversely affected.  Because of the
relatively small size of the Company,  the loss of a senior executive may have a
materially  adverse effect upon the Company until a suitable  replacement can be
found. See "Business" and "Management".

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         The following analysis of the Company's financial condition and results
of  operations  should be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements,
including the notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.

General

         The Company is a holding  company which is principally  engaged through
its wholly-owned  subsidiaries in the development,  manufacture and distribution
of  bullet-  and   projectile-resistant   garments,   and  the  manufacture  and
distribution of protective  athletic equipment and apparel.  In August 1995, the
Company  acquired  certain  assets,  free of all  liabilities  (the "Point Blank
Assets")  of  Point  Blank  Body  Armor,   L.P.,   and  an  affiliated   company
(collectively,  "Old Point  Blank") at an auction held  pursuant to Chapter 7 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code. In late December 1994, the Company started up
its protective  athletic  equipment  business by acquiring the trade  inventory,
work in process, raw materials, trade names and trademarks (the "NDL Assets") of
N.D.L.  Products,  Inc., a Delaware corporation,  at an auction held pursuant to
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In March 1996, the Company acquired Orthopedic
Products,  Inc.  ("OPI"),  which is a manufacturer of orthopedic  products and a
distributor  of  general  medical  supplies.  The  Company  also owns a minority
interest in several other companies, some privately held and some publicly held,
in the pharmaceutical business, health care, telecommunications, electronics and
snowboard manufacturing.  The management of the Company is engaged in the review
of  potential  acquisitions  and  in  providing  management  assistance  to  the
Company's operating subsidiaries.

         The Company  commenced  operations  in November  1992 by acquiring  the
outstanding common stock of PACA, a manufacturer and distributor of bullet-proof
garments and  accessories.  From the  acquisition  of PACA through  December 20,
1994,  i.e., the date of the start-up of NDL, PACA was the Company's only source
of revenue from operations.  Thereafter,  and to date, NDL, Point Blank, and OPI
are also a source of revenue from operations.
        
         The Armor Group's  products are sold  nationally  and  internationally,
primarily to law enforcement  agencies and military services.  Sales to domestic
law  enforcement  agencies,  including  government,  security  and  intelligence
agencies, police departments, federal and state correctional facilities, highway
patrol and  Sheriffs'  departments,  comprise  the largest  portion of the Armor
Group's  business.   Accordingly,  any  substantial  reduction  in  governmental
spending or change in emphasis in defense  and law  enforcement  programs  could
have a material adverse effect on the Armor Group's business.

         The  discussion  that  follows  must be read in  conjunction  with  the
financial statements, including the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

         Year Ended December 31, 1996, compared to year ended December 31, 1995.
Consolidated  net sales of the  Company  for the year ended  December  31,  1996
increased by $8,884,604, or 61% to approximately  $23,378,698.  The increase was
primarily due to the  inclusion of Point Blank for a full year.  Gross profit in
1996 decreased $1,054,520.  The Company's gross profit percentage decreased from
27% in 1995 to 19% in 1996. This decrease was the result of lower selling prices
to induce new customers and a weakness in production  management  and production
controls which allowed for above normal usage of raw materials.  The Company has
a consolidated  net loss of  approximately  $4,866,000 for 1996 as compared to a
consolidated net income of approximately $244,000 for 1995.

         During the last quarter of 1996, the Company  instituted  major changes
at their Florida  facility which houses Point Blank, NDL and OPI. New management
was put in place in October 1996 including a new production manager. Pricing was
reviewed and controls  put in place to yield  better  profit  margins and better
material  usages.   The  new  management   instituted  a  policy  regarding  the
capitalization  of salesmen samples after finding that the returned samples were
normally  reissued to other salesmen and seldomly sold for their recorded value.
Therefore,  the  decision was made to write these  salesmen  samples off in 1996
resulting in a $292,000 charge to income.  Additionally,  the Company changed it
policies regarding the percentage of inventory to reserve for future slow moving
inventory,  which resulted in a charge of approximately  $700,000 against income
in 1996.

         The Company's  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  ("S,G&A
expenses")  for 1996  increased to  $8,668,963  from  $5,140,399  in 1995.  As a
percentage of net sales the S,G & A expenses were 37% in 1996 compared to 35% in
1995. In 1996 the Company wrote off a loan-receivable  of approximately  $52,000
which  was made to an  individual  relating  to the  acquistion  of  Media.  All
attempts  to collect the debt were  unsuccessful,  and  therefore,  the loan was
written off. In connection with the major changes  instituted above, the Company
incurred some non-recurring consulting and management fees during the year ended
1996 for  approximately  $250,000.  Included in rent  expense for 1996 was a one
time  buy-out of OPI's  lease for its former  location  of  $80,000.  Management
believed that by moving OPI into the facility  with the other Florida  Companies
would  enable  them  to  reduce  costs  in the  future  due to  the  synergy  of
businesses.  Additionally,  the Company  increased  its  percentage  of accounts
receivable to record an allowance for, which resulted in a $233,320  increase in
S,G,&A expenses.

         In 1996 the Company  aggressively  sought to regain its market share by
increasing its marketing efforts.  This amounted to 8% of the S,G&A expenses for
1996 as compared 4 % of the S,G&A  expenses for 1995.  The Company also incurred
additional research and development to launch a new product line which increased
S,G&A expenses over 1995 levels by over $150,000.

         The Company incurred  additional  legal and  professional  fees for the
year ended 1996  regarding  the  purchase  of OPI, a proposed  merger  which was
terminated,  the Company commencing a lawsuit against the former shareholders of
OPI. Legal fees increased over $50,000 in 1996 compared to 1995.

         Interest  expense,  net of  interest  income,  for  1996  increased  to
$327,347 from $303,615 due to a decline of interest income on the Company's cash
balances.
<PAGE>
         At the end of Fiscal  1996,  Management  of the  Company  analyzed  its
current operations to examine the most  effective/profitable  ways to direct its
future efforts.  This resulted in the decision to put on hold, for an indefinite
period,  the pursuit of ID's patents and  technology and the film library of DHB
Media. These write-downs resulted in a loss on the "Net write-down of Investment
in Subsidiaries" for the year ended December 31, 1996 of approximately $530,000.
Also included in other income (expense) is a $1,000,000  write-off of two of the
Company's long term  investments.  The Company's  entire $500,000  investment in
Solid  Manufacturing  was written off as a result of them filing for bankruptcy.
The Company  recorded a valuation  allowance  for the full value of the $500,000
investment  in  Pinnacle  Diagnostic  as result of  Pinnacles'  insolvency.  The
Company had a net realized  gain of $381,337 and an  unrealized  gain of $69,168
for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to a $675,743 realized gain and
a $347,481 unrealized gain for the year ended December 31, 1995.

         Year Ended December 31, 1995, compared to year ended December 31, 1994.
Consolidated  net sales of the Company  for the year ended  December  31,  1995,
increased by $5,391,721, or 59% to approximately  $14,494,000.  The increase was
primarily  due to the  inclusion  of Point Blank and NDL. The start-up of NDL on
December 20, 1994,  contributed  less than $100,000 to sales in 1994 as compared
to $4,276,603 in 1995. The Company had  consolidated net income of approximately
$244,000 for 1995, as compared to a  consolidated  net loss of $75,243 for 1994.
The improved results are attributable to the ability to utilize volume discounts
and eliminating duplication of expenses, as well as income derived from the sale
and appreciation of the Company's marketable securities.

         Gross profit in 1995  increased to  $5,405,477 an increase of 119% over
1994.  The  Company's  gross profit ratio  increased  from 27% in 1994 to 37% in
1995,  primarily  because of the products  sold by Point Blank  yielded  greater
margins.

         The Company's  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for 1995
increased to $5,140,399 from $2,250,550 in 1994.  These expenses as a percentage
of net  sales  were  35% in 1995,  compared  to 25% in 1994.  The  increase  was
attributable  to costs  associated with the move of Point Blank and NDL into the
present location and other nonrecurring expenses.

         Interest  expense,  net of  interest  income,  for  1995  increased  to
$303,615 from $65,072 for 1994,  principally due to a decline in interest income
because  of the  use of the  Company's  funds  in its  operating  business,  and
increases in the borrowings of the Company.

         The Company had a net realized gain of $675,743 and an unrealized  gain
on its  investments  in  marketable  securities  of $347,481  for the year ended
December  31,  1995,  as compared  to a net  realized  loss of  $360,817  and an
unrealized loss of $293,854 for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

         The Company's primary capital  requirements over the next twelve months
are to assist PACA, Point Blank, NDL, and OPI in financing their working capital
requirements, and to make possible acquisitions. PACA, Point Blank, and NDL sell
most of their products on 60 - 90 day terms,  and OPI sells most of its products
on 30-60 day terms,  and working  capital is needed to finance the  receivables,
manufacturing  process and inventory.  Working  capital at December 31, 1996 was
$8,900,398 compared to $8,416,004 at December 31, 1995, and its ratio of current
assets to  current  liabilities  was 2.88:1 and  2.46:1,  respectively,  on such
dates.
<PAGE>
         Cash, cash equivalents and marketable  securities totaled $2,591,682 at
December 31, 1996 compared to $2,304,964. The increase in cash, cash equivalents
and  marketable  securities  was  primarily  through the  proceeds  from private
offerings of the Company's  securities.  This  increase was partially  offset by
cash used to pay off a line of credit of  $1,150,000  and to repay a shareholder
loan of $590,000. The Company has, throughout its existence,  obtained funds for
acquisitions  and  operations  from term bank loans for periods of up to a year,
which have been secured, in part, by the controlling shareholder's hypothecation
of marketable securities.  In the past, the Company has always been able to roll
over such loans with new loans at  prevailing  interest  rates.  At the  present
time, it has a loan of $1,400,000  from the Bank of New York coming due in April
1997,  bearing  interest at 6.3125%  per year.  There is no  assurance  that the
Company  will be able to roll over such loans as they  become  due.  The Company
expects to renew this loan, at prevailing interest rates, when it becomes due.

         The Company's  principal  commitments at December 31, 1996 consisted of
obligations under their operating leases for its facilities.

         The Company's capital  expenditures for 1996 was $1,123,739 as compared
to  $4,222,257.  The purchase of Point Blank  accounted for over $2.3 million of
the capital  expenditures for 1995. The Company  purchased OPI in March 1996 and
Zunblindage in February 1997 by issuing stock in lieu of a cash payment.

         The Company invested approximately  $3,316,750 (as of December 31,1996,
on a  historical  cost  basis)  in the  securities  of  certain  privately  held
companies and  restricted  securities  of certain  public  companies,  which are
included in "Investments in Non-marketable  Securities" on the Company's Balance
Sheet.  As of December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded a valuation  allowance
of $1,000,000 against two specific investments to bring the net realizable value
to $2,316,750 at December 31, 1996.

         Although  the Company had a net loss of  $4,869,122  for the year ended
December 31, 1996, there was a net increase of cash of $774,547 as compared to a
net income of $244,475 for the year ended  December 31, 1995 with a net increase
in cash of $67,683.  The  Company's  quick ratio  increased  to 1.34% in 1996 as
compared to 1.09% in 1995. The Company  believes it has sufficient  resources to
meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months.


                                    BUSINESS

History

         DHB  Capital  Group,  Inc.  and   Subsidiaries,   (the  "Company")  was
originally  incorporated  as a New York  corporation  on October 22, 1992 by Mr.
David H.  Brooks.  (Mr.  Brooks may be deemed a "founder"  as defined  under the
Act.) Effective  April 17, 1995 (the  "Reincorporation  Date"),  pursuant to the
authorization  of  the  security  holders  of  the  Company,   the  Company  was
reincorporated  (the  "Reincorporation")  in  Delaware.  Under  the terms of the
Reincorporation,  the Delaware  corporation  is the successor in interest to all
the  rights,  interests,  assets and  liabilities  of the New York  corporation.
Holders of certificates  which,  prior to the  Reincorporation  Date,  evidenced
securities of the New York corporation,  automatically  become holders of a like
number of securities of the Delaware  corporation  and are entitled  (subject to
compliance  with  customary  procedures)  to  exchange  their  certificates  for
certificates evidencing the Delaware corporation.

Ballistic - resistant Equipment

         The Company  entered the  body-armor  business by acquiring  Protective
Apparel  Corporation of America  ("PACA") at the end of 1992. PACA is engaged in
the   development,   manufacture  and   distribution   of  bullet-,   bomb-  and
projectile-resistant     garments,     including     bullet-resistant     vests,
fragmentation-protective   vests,   bullet-resistant   blankets   and   tactical
load-bearing  vests. In addition,  PACA distributes  other ballistic  protection
devices, including helmets, face masks and trauma shields, manufactured by other
companies.  In August 1995, the Company,  through a wholly owned  subsidiary now
known as Point Blank Body Armor, Inc., a Delaware  corporation  ("Point Blank"),
acquired from a trustee in bankruptcy  certain assets (the "Point Blank Assets")
of Point Blank Body Armor, L.P., and an affiliated company  (collectively,  "Old
Point Blank"),  for a cash payment of  $2,000,000,  which was provided by a loan
from Mr. David Brooks.  Prior to the filing of the petition in  bankruptcy,  Old
Point Blank had been a leading U.S.  manufacturer of  bullet-resistant  garments
and related  accessories.  On February 28, 1997 the Company exchanged a total of
666,000  shares of its  registered  common  stock to acquire  100% of the common
stock of a privately held Belgian corporation,  Zunblindage S.A.. Zunblindage is
engaged in the  manufacture  and  distribution  of bullet  resistant  equipment,
apparel and related products and specializes in sales distribution and marketing
in the  European  theater and the Middle  East  regions.  PACA,  Point Blank and
Zunblindage  are  now  wholly  owned  by  DHB  Armor  Group,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation  (the "Armor  Group"),  which is a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the
Company.

Protective Athletic Equipment

         On December 20, 1994, the Company,  through a newly  organized,  wholly
owned subsidiary, DHB Acquisition,  Inc., a Florida corporation,  purchased (the
"Transaction") the assets (the "NDL Assets"), free of all liabilities, of N.D.L.
Products,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  and of its wholly  owned  subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  "Seller"),  for a cash payment of  $3,080,000,  net of cash
acquired, at an auction held pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Prior
to the Transaction,  the Seller was a  debtor-in-possession  under Chapter 11 of
the United States  Bankruptcy Code. The transaction was consummated  pursuant to
an order of the United States  Bankruptcy  Court,  Southern District of Florida,
dated December 20, 1994.

         The  Seller  was  engaged  in  the  manufacture  and   distribution  of
protective  athletic apparel and equipment,  such as elbow,  breast, hip, groin,
knee,  shin and ankle supports,  and wrist,  elbow,  groin and knee braces.  The
Company  changed the name of DHB  Acquisition,  Inc.,  to "NDL  Products,  Inc."
(hereinafter, "NDL"), in order to use the NDL Assets to start up a business as a
manufacturer  and  distributor of specialized  protective  athletic  apparel and
equipment.
<PAGE>
Orthopedic Products, Inc.

         The Company has entered the orthopedic  products  business by acquiring
the outstanding  capital stock of Orthopedic  Products Inc.,  ("OPI"), a Florida
corporation. The Company issued 270,000 shares (after giving effect to the Stock
Dividend) of its registered Common Stock in March 1996, in two transactions,  in
exchange for all the outstanding  capital stock of OPI. In April 1997, 38,625 of
the shares  issued  were  returned to the Company and retired as a result of the
adjustment of the purchase price of OPI. OPI is engaged in the  manufacture  and
sale of medical and orthopedic products. OPI's products are sold directly to the
medical  industry,  including  hospitals,  sports  medicine  centers and medical
practices.

Other Business

         Intelligent Data Corporation. In April 1994, the Company acquired a 98%
interest in the common stock of Intelligent Data  Corporation,  ("ID"), a Nevada
corporation. ID is a development-stage company engaged in applying sophisticated
telecommunications  systems,  known as  "virtual  writing"  for remote  document
signature and  authentication,  remote  issuance of bank or brokerage  cashier's
checks and the  facilitation  of COD payment  transactions.  The net assets were
written down in 1996 see below "Write-down of net assets of subsidiaries"

         DHB Media  Group  Inc.  In April  1994,  the  Company  acquired  a 100%
interest of the  capital  stock of DHB Media  Group Inc.  ("Media"),  a New York
corporation,  whose  principal  asset is a film  library.  The net  assets  were
written down in 1996 see below "Write- down of Net Assets of Subsidiaries."

         Write-down  of Net assets of  Subsidiaries.  At the end of Fiscal 1996,
Management  of the Company  analyzed its current  operations to examine the most
effective/profitable  ways to direct its future  efforts.  This  resulted in the
decision to reappraise,  for an indefinite  period,  the pursuit of ID's patents
and technology and the film library of DHB Media. These write-downs  resulted in
a loss on the "Net write-down of Net Assets in Subsidiaries"  for the year ended
December 31, 1996 of approximately $530,000.

Recent Developments

         Increase in Authorized  Shares of Common Stock. On December 30, 1996 at
a Special Meeting of the Stockholders, an amendment to the Company's Certificate
of  Incorporation  was approved,  increasing the number of authorized  shares of
Common Stock from 25,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. This amendment became
effective on December 31, 1996.

         50% Stock Dividend Declared July 1, 1996. On July 1, 1996, the Board of
Directors of the Company  declared a 50% Stock  Dividend (the "Stock  Dividend")
payable on July 16, 1996,  to  shareholders  of record as of July 15, 1996. As a
result  thereof,  the number of outstanding  shares of the Common Stock has been
increased from 15,303,019 to 22,954,529.  Except where  specifically  noted, all
information in this Prospectus  about shares  outstanding,  per-share  financial
information,  share prices, option prices, warrant prices and the like have been
restated  to give effect to the Stock  Dividend  as if it occurred  prior to the
date or period for which such information is reported or disclosed  herein.  The
Summary Financial  Information on page 7 has been adjusted to give effect to the
Stock Dividend.  The Company will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares issuable
on account of the Stock Dividend;  the aggregate  amount of such payments is not
expected to be material.
<PAGE>
         Buyback of Common Stock.  On October 22, 1996 the Board of Directors of
the Company announced a directive  authorizing the Company to purchase up to one
million shares of its common stock on the open market, from time to time, at its
discretion.  The Company has not  purchased  any of its common stock on the open
market to date.

Equity Investments.

         The Company also actively seeks to acquire and finance, as appropriate,
additional operating companies or interests therein.  Since January 1, 1994, the
Company made  acquired  minority  interests  in the common  stock or  securities
convertible into common stock, of the following companies:

         Zydacron,  Inc., which designs and manufactures video  teleconferencing
         codecs  that are fully  compliant  with ITU H.320  standards.  Zydacron
         codecs provide  full-featured  multimedia  capabilities  that integrate
         into  micro-computers  running Windows 3.1 operating  system  software.
         Zydacron's  family of codec  products  offers a low-cost  full-function
         "codec engine" that meets existing video teleconferencing environments.
         The Company owns 4.6% of the equity.

         The  Company   intends  to  continue  to  evaluate   and  consider  the
acquisition  of  additional  businesses,  which may or may not be related to its
current   businesses.   The  Company  has  no  specific   plans,   arrangements,
understandings  or  commitments  with  respect  to any such  acquisition  at the
present time, and it is uncertain as to when or if any acquisition will be made.
The  Company is not  currently  involved  in any  substantive  negotiations  for
purchasing any business or group of assets.

                                    BUSINESS

DHB Armor Group

         Products.  The Armor Group  manufactures two basic types of body armor:
concealable  armor,  which is  generally  intended to be worn beneath the user's
clothing,  and  tactical  armor,  which is worn  externally  and is  designed to
protect  against  more  serious  ballistic  threats.  Both  types of  armor  are
manufactured using multiple layers of KevlarTM and/or a combination of KevlarTM,
SpectrashieldTM  and  SpectraFibreTM  ballistic  fabric,  then covered and fully
enclosed in an outer carrier. Although some products of Point Blank and PACA are
competitive with each other, brand  recognition,  brand loyalty and distribution
channels  are  expected  to  minimize  the extent to which  products  of the two
companies may impact each other's sales.  PACA  specializes  in concealable  and
correctional  vests.  Point Blank  specializes  in tactical  vests and  patented
concealable GenesisTM series vests.

         Concealable  vests are  contoured to closely fit the user's body shape.
The Armor Group sells a line of vests designed  specifically for the body shapes
of women users.  Male vests are  manufactured  in standard sizes and may also be
custom-made.   Vests  are  fastened  using   Velcro-brand   elastic   strapping.
Concealable vests may be supplied with a shock plate or  SpectrashieldTM  trauma
plate,  which is a light insert  designed to enhance  protection of vital areas.
Vests may be supplemented  with  additional  armor plate made of either metal or
ceramic to withstand  greater threat levels than the vest is otherwise  designed
to protect against. PACA's wholesale prices for its concealable vests range from
approximately $150 to approximately $475. Point Blank's wholesale prices for its
concealable  vests ranged from  approximately  $215 to $440, and the Armor Group
expects to continue these price levels.

         Tactical  vests are  designed to give  all-around  protection  and more
coverage around the neck,  shoulders and kidneys than concealable vests. A groin
protector is a popular  accessory.  These vests contain  pockets to  incorporate
small  panels   constructed  from  high-alumina   ceramic  tiles  which  provide
additional  protection  against rifle fire.  Tactical vests come in a variety of
styles, including tactical assault vests, high-coverage armor, and flak jackets,
each of which is  manufactured  to protect  against varying degrees of ballistic
threat.  PACA's wholesale prices of these products range from approximately $370
to approximately $1200. Point Blank's wholesale prices for its tactical garments
ranged from approximately $295 to $1150, and the Armor Group expects to continue
these price levels.

         The Armor Group's other  body-armor  products include a tactical police
jacket, military field jacket, executive vests, NATO-style vests,  fragmentation
vests and attack vests. Bomb and  fragmentation  vests and pants are designed to
specifications  in  U.S.  government   contracts  to  offer  protection  against
materials and velocities  associated with the fragmentation of explosive devices
such as grenades and artillery shells. In general, concealable vests sold to law
enforcement  agencies  and  distributors  are  designed to resist  bullets  from
handguns.  Bomb gear  utilizes a variety of designs and  materials  and patterns
slightly   different  from   bullet-resistant   vests.   The  Armor  Group  also
manufactures a variety of accessories for use with its body-armor products.
<PAGE>
         Potential Product Liability.  The products  manufactured or distributed
by the Armor Group, e.g.,  bullet-resistant  vests, are used in situations which
could result in serious personal  injuries and death,  whether on account of the
failure of such  products,  or  otherwise.  The Armor  Group  maintains  product
liability  insurance for both PACA and Point Blank in the amount of  $11,000,000
each per  occurrence,  and  $12,000,000  in the  aggregate  less a deductible of
$12,500 for each  company.  There is no assurance  that these  amounts  would be
sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claim. In addition, there is no
assurance  that  this  or any  other  insurance  coverage  will  continue  to be
available or, if available, that PACA and Point Blank would be able to obtain it
at a reasonable  cost. Any substantial  uninsured loss would have to be paid out
of the Armor Group's  assets,  as  applicable,  and may have a material  adverse
effect on the  Company's  financial  condition  and results of  operations  on a
consolidated  basis.  In addition,  the  inability to obtain  product  liability
coverage  would  prohibit  PACA or Point Blank as  applicable,  from bidding for
orders from certain governmental  customers,  because many governmental agencies
require  such  coverage,  and any such  inability  to bid would  have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations on
a consolidated basis.

         Raw  Materials  and   Manufacturing.   The  Armor  Group   manufactures
substantially all of their respective  bullet-,  bomb- and  projectile-resistant
garments and other  ballistic-protection  devices. The primary raw material used
by the Armor Group in 60% of its manufacturing of  ballistic-resistant  garments
is  Kevlar(TM),   a  patented   product  of  E.I.  Du  Pont  de  Nemours  &  Co.
Spectrashield(TM)  and  SpectraFibre(TM),  which are patented products of Allied
Signal are used in  approximately  20% of all vests. The Armor Group uses Twaron
for their balance of vest, a fabric  manufactured  by Akxo, an Israeli  company.
The  Armor  Group   purchases  cloth  woven  from  these  materials  from  three
independent  weaving companies.  See "Raw Materials,  Sources and Availability".
The woven  fabric is placed on tables,  layered  over  patterns for a particular
component of a garment  (for  example,  the front or back of a vest),  cut using
electric knives and computerized  cutting  machines,  and then they are stitched
together.  The Armor Group utilizes  several  hundred  patterns based upon size,
shape and style  (depending  upon  whether  the  garment is a bullet-,  bomb- or
fragmentation-resistant garment). The various components of the garment are then
sewn  together  to  create  the  finished  product.  KevlarTM,  SpectrashieldTM,
SpectraFibreTM  and Twaron differ in their  pliability,  strength and cost, such
that the materials are combined to suit a particular application. In the opinion
of management,  the Armor Group enjoys a good relationship with its suppliers of
KevlarTM,  SpectrashieldTM,  SpectraFibreTM and Twaron. If, however,  Du Pont or
its  European  licensee  were to  cease,  for any  reason,  to  manufacture  and
distribute the  bullet-resistant  fabrics,  the Armor Group would be required to
utilize  other  fabrics,  and the  specifications  of some of the Armor  Group's
products  would  have  to  be  modified.  Until  the  Armor  Group  selected  an
alternative  fabric  and  appropriate   ballistic  tests  were  performed,   its
operations would be severely curtailed and the Armor Group's financial condition
and results of operations would be adversely affected.

         The Armor Group  purchases  other raw materials used in the manufacture
of their products from a variety of sources and believes  additional  sources of
supply for these materials are readily available.
<PAGE>
         Customers.  The Armor  Group's  products are sold to United  States law
enforcement  agencies and the military and  internationally  to governments  and
distributors.   Sales  to  domestic  law  enforcement  agencies,   security  and
intelligence  agencies,  police  departments,  federal  and  state  correctional
facilities, highway patrols and sheriffs' departments accounted for 44% and 29%,
respectively,  of the Armor Group's revenues in each of the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995. One customer, the New York City Police Department,  accounted
for  approximately  4% and 5% of PACA's  sales for the years ended  December 31,
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  PACA was the successful  bidder for a significant
portion of this customers new 1996 - 1997 contract.  Besides domestic customers,
Point  Blank also has  international  customers  which  account for 20% of Point
Blank's 1996 sales. One major international  customer,  Egypt, accounted for 12%
of Point Blank's sales for the year ended December 31, 1996. The loss of any one
customer would not be expected to have a significant impact on the Armor Group's
continuing  financial results,  due to the Armor Group's constant  submission of
bids for new contracts.

         Sales to the United States armed forces  directly or as a subcontractor
accounted for 5% of revenues in 1996 and 1995.

         Substantially  all sales by the Armor Group to the armed  services  and
other  federal  agencies  are made  pursuant  to standard  purchasing  contracts
between  PACA or Point  Blank and the  General  Services  Administration  of the
Federal  Government,  commonly referred to as a "GSA Contract".  The Armor Group
also responds to invitations by military branches and government agencies to bid
for  particular  orders.  GSA  contracts  accounted for 28% of the Armor Group's
sales for the year ended December 31, 1996. Zunblindage has government contracts
with the Belgium and Netherlands governments.

         PACA and Point Blank,  as GSA Contract  vendors,  are obligated to make
all sales pursuant to such contract at its lowest unit price. PACA's current GSA
Contract  expires July 31, 2001, while Point Blank's GSA Contract is from August
1, 1996 through August 1997.

         During the years ended  December  31, 1996 and 1995,  commercial  sales
(i.e.,  sales  to   non-governmental   entities)  accounted  for  49%  and  52%,
respectively, of Armor Group's revenues.

         Marketing and Distribution. The Armor Group employs 10 customer support
representatives,   2  regional   sales   managers  and  25   independent   sales
representatives  who are paid solely on a commission basis.  These personnel are
responsible for marketing the Armor Group's products to law enforcement agencies
in the United States.  These  individuals often call upon personnel within these
agencies who are responsible for making purchasing decisions in order to provide
information  concerning  the Armor Group's  products.  Sales are made  primarily
through independent local distributors.  However, in areas in which there are no
suitable distributors, the Armor Group will fill orders directly.

         Substantially  all of the Armor Group's  advertising is directed toward
law  enforcement  agencies in the form of catalogs  and trade  shows.  The Armor
Group advertises its products  primarily in law enforcement  trade magazines and
at trade shows.  During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,  advertising
expenditures were $363,000 and $79,000, respectively.
<PAGE>
         Government  and  Industry   Regulations  and  Standards.   Bullet-  and
bomb-resistant garments and accessories manufactured and sold by the Armor Group
are  not  currently  the  subject  of  government   regulations.   However,  law
enforcement  agencies and the military  publish  invitations  for bidding  which
specify certain  standards of performance which the bidders' products must meet.
The  National  Institute  of Justice,  under the  auspices of the United  States
Department  of  Justice,  has  issued a  revised  voluntary  ballistic  standard
(NIJ0101.03) for bullet-resistant  vests of several categories.  The Armor Group
regularly  submits its vests to independent  laboratories for ballistic  testing
under this  voluntary  ballistic  standard and all of its products  have, at the
time  of  manufacture,  met or  exceeded  such  standards  in  their  respective
categories.

         In  addition,  bullet-resistant  garments  and  hard-armor  inserts are
regularly submitted by the Armor Group for rating by independent laboratories in
accordance with a test commonly  referred to as V50. This test involves exposing
the tested item to blasts of fragments of increasing  velocity  until 50% of the
fragments  penetrate  the  materials.  The tested  item is then given a velocity
rating which may be used by prospective  purchasers in assessing the suitability
of the Armor Group's products for a particular  application.  In addition,  PACA
and Point Blank perform similar tests internally.

         Competition.   The  ballistic-resistant   garment  business  is  highly
competitive  and the number of United  States  manufacturers  is estimated to be
less  than 20.  Management  is not aware of  published  reports  concerning  the
market,  and most companies are privately  held.  Nevertheless,  the Armor Group
believes,  based  upon its  experience  in the  industry  and  that the  largest
manufacturer  was Old Point  Blank  prior to its  filing for  Liquidation  under
Chapter  7 of the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Code and that as a result  of its
purchase  of the Point  Blank  Assets,  it is  positioned  to become the largest
manufacturer  of  ballistic-resistant  garments  in the  United  States.  In the
future,  the Company may face other and  unknown  competitors,  some of whom may
have  substantially  greater  financial,  marketing and other resources than the
Company.

         The Armor Group believes that the principal  elements of competition in
the sale of  ballistic-resistant  garments are its innovative design,  price and
quality.  In dealings with law enforcement  agencies and the military,  PACA and
Point  Blank bid for orders in  response to  invitations  for bidding  which set
forth  specifications  for product  performance.  The Armor Group  believes  its
products are  competitive  as to both price and quality with the products of its
competitors having similar ballistic capabilities and that its ability to remain
competitive  in  pricing is due to its  relatively  lower  labor and  production
costs. In addition, the Company believes that the Armor Group enjoys a favorable
reputation  in the industry with over 20 years of supplying  federal,  state and
municipal governments and agencies.  These factors,  combined with the financial
resources made  available to the Armor Group by the Company,  have permitted it,
and are expected to continue to permit it, to reduce interest expenses,  improve
production  efficiency  and capacity,  control  purchasing  costs and permit the
Armor Group to compete favorably.
<PAGE>
         In March 1990, before PACA was controlled by the Company,  PACA entered
into an agreement with American Body Armor and Equipment, Inc., which prohibited
PACA, for a period of ten years ending March 2000, from soliciting business from
American Body Armor's twelve largest domestic distributors, nor may PACA solicit
business outside the United States relating to the  manufacturing,  distribution
or   sale   of   projectile-resistant   garments   and   materials   and   other
ballistic-protection  devices, including without limitation personal body armor.
In August  1995,  PACA  entered  into an  agreement  which  terminated  all such
restrictions, for a payment of $250,000, which was expensed in the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.

         The Armor Group's Backlog. As of December 31, 1996, the Armor Group had
a backlog of approximately  $2,500,000, as compared to $3,096,000 as of December
31, 1995. Backlog at any one date is not a reliable indicator of future sales or
sales trends.

         In addition to the  backlog,  which  represents  orders  believed to be
firm,  from time to time the Armor Group receives  contract awards for municipal
orders which may be placed over an extended  period of time.  The actual  dollar
amount of products to be delivered pursuant to this and similar contracts cannot
be accurately predicted and is generally excluded from reported backlog.

         Employees.  As of December  31,  1996,  there were two  officers of the
Armor Group,  13 persons  employed in supervisory  capacities,  245 employed for
manufacturing,  shipping and warehousing,  and 18 are office  personnel.  All of
Armor Group's  employees  are employed full time. In the opinion of  management,
the Armor Group enjoys good relationships with its employees.

NDL PRODUCTS, INC.

         On December 20, 1994, the Company,  through a wholly-owned  subsidiary,
acquired  the NDL  Assets for a cash  payment of  $3,080,000,  and  renamed  the
acquiring  subsidiary  "NDL  Products,  Inc." NDL is  engaged in  business  as a
manufacturer and distributor of specialized  protective  athletic  equipment and
apparel.

         NDL's protective  sports apparel and fitness products and related items
are  sold  under  the  brand  names  NDL(TM),  Grid(TM),  Dr.  Bone  Savers(TM),
Hitman(TM)  and Flex  Aid(TM).  NDL has  hired  new  executives  for  sales  and
marketing,  production, and new product research and development.  NDL has moved
its corporate,  manufacturing and warehouse operations into a single building in
Oakland Park, Florida. See "Properties - NDL Facility."

         NDL's Marketing and  Distribution.  NDL employs 5 sales  executives who
are responsible for sales  throughout the United States,  Western Europe,  Asia,
the  Middle  East and Latin  America  and who  supervise  30  independent  sales
representatives who are paid solely on a commission basis. These representatives
call on customers, who are generally major retailers and distributors.  NDL also
sells to local  distributors  and has a  telemarketing  staff of 5. NDL  added a
marketing  director who is currently  evaluating  and  developing  marketing and
sales strategies.
<PAGE>
         NDL's Potential Products Liability.  Some of the products  manufactured
or distributed  by NDL are used in situations  where serious  personal  injuries
could occur,  whether on account of the failure of NDL's  products or otherwise.
NDL  maintains  product  liability  insurance  in the amount of  $1,000,000  per
occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate,  including legal fees,  subject to a
$10,000  deductible.  There can be no  assurance  that  these  amounts  would be
sufficient to cover payment of potential  claims,  and there can be no assurance
that this or any other insurance coverage would continue to be available,  or if
available,  that  NDL  would  be able  to  obtain  it at  reasonable  cost.  Any
substantial  uninsured  loss would have to be paid out of NDL's assets and could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial condition and results
of operations.

         Employees.  As of December 31,  1996,  there was one officer of the NDL
Products,  Inc., 6 persons employed in supervisory  capacities,  14 employed for
shipping  and  warehousing,   and  10  are  office   personnel.   All  of  NDL's
manufacturing  employees are subcontracted  from Point Blank. Every NDL employee
is  employed  full  time.  In  the  opinion  of  management,   NDL  enjoys  good
relationships with its employees.

ORTHOPEDIC PRODUCTS, INC.

         In March 1996,  the Company  exchanged a total of 270,000 shares of its
common  stock with a value of  approximately  $579,000  to  acquire  100% of the
common  stock  of  Orthopedic  Products,   Inc,  a  Florida  corporation.   This
transaction was accounted for as a purchase,  and resulted in an excess purchase
price  over the fair  value of  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities
assumed of approximately $57,000 which was allocated to goodwill. In April 1997,
there  was a  reduction  of the  purchase  price of OPI as a result of a lawsuit
initiated  by the Company  alleging  misrepresentation  of the net worth of OPI.
This matter was settled in mediation and resulted in the return of 38,625 shares
of the  Company's  common  stock  and a  reduction  of  the  purchase  price  of
approximately  $72,000. OPI is engaged in the manufacture and sale of orthopedic
products,  and  the  distribution  and  sale  of  general  medical  supplies  to
orthopedists,   orthopedic  clinics,  hospitals,  sports  medicine  centers  and
orthopedic medical practices.

         OPI's Marketing and  Distribution.  OPI employs 2 sales  executives who
supervise  3  independent  sales  representatives  who  are  paid  solely  on  a
commission  basis.  OPI's  products are sold  directly to the medical  industry,
including  hospitals,  sports  medicine  centers  and medical  practices.  OPI's
objective is to broaden their sales to a national level over the next year.

         OPI's Potential Products Liability.  Some of the products  manufactured
or distributed  by OPI are used in situations  where serious  personal  injuries
could occur,  whether on account of the failure of OPI's  products or otherwise,
OPI  maintains  product  liability  insurance  in the amount of  $1,000,000  per
occurrence, and $2,000,000 in the aggregate,  including legal fees, subject to a
$10,000  deductible.  There can be no  assurance  that  these  amounts  would be
sufficient  to cover  payment of potential  claims and there can be no assurance
that this or any other insurance coverage would continue to be available,  or if
available,  that OPI  would  be able to  obtain  it at a  reasonable  cost.  Any
substantial  uninsured  loss would have to be paid out of OPI's assets and could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial condition and results
of operations.
<PAGE>
         Employees.  As of December 31, 1996, OPI has one officer,  three people
employed in supervisor capacities, 9 employed for shipping and warehousing,  and
3 office personnel.  All of OPI's manufacturing employees are subcontracted from
Point  Blank.  OPI's  employees  are  employed  full  time.  In the  opinion  of
management, OPI enjoys good relationships with its employees.

Segment  Information:  As described in detail above, the Company operates in two
principal    segments:     Ballistic-resistant    equipment    and    Protective
athletic/medical  equipment.  The  Company  designs,  manufacturers  and markets
products in both segments as described above.

Financial information on the Company's business segments was as follows:

PROPERTIES

         Corporate  Headquarters.  On January 17, 1996, the Company  purchased a
one-story building on a two-acre lot at 11 Old Westbury Road, Old Westbury,  New
York,  and relocated its corporate  headquarters  into that building on or about
January 19, 1996.

         PACA.  PACA  leases  23,400  square feet of office,  manufacturing  and
warehouse  space at 148 Cedar  Place,  Norris,  Tennessee  from  Leonard  Rosen,
President of PACA, at a present annual rental of $43,200, plus real estate taxes
of approximately $4,800 annually.  The space is occupied pursuant to a five-year
lease which expires October 31, 1997, with an option to acquire the property for
$500,000.  In the opinion of management,  PACA's facilities are adequate for its
current needs and for its needs in the foreseeable  future.  Management believes
that the terms of the lease are no less  favorable  to the Company than could be
obtained from an unrelated party.

         NDL/Point Blank/OPI Facility.  NDL Products leases a 67,000 square foot
office and warehouse facility (the "Oakland Park Facility") located at 4031 N.E.
12th Terrace,  Oakland Park, Florida 33334 from V.A.E. Enterprises ("V.A.E."), a
partnership  controlled by Mrs. Terry Brooks,  wife of Mr. David H. Brooks,  and
beneficially owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brooks' minor children.  V.A.E. purchased the
Oakland Park facility as of January 1, 1995.  Point Blank and OPI entered into a
net-net  lease for a portion of the space in the Oakland Park  facility.  Annual
aggregate  base rental is $480,000  and is scheduled to increase by 4% per year.
NDL Products,  Point Blank,  and OPI, as lessees,  are  responsible for all real
estate taxes and other operating and capital expenses.  Management believes that
the terms of the lease are at the  current  market  price that would be obtained
from an unrelated  party. In April 1997, the Company leased a 60,000 square foot
warehouse  adjacent to the Oakland Park,  Florida  location.  This  warehouse is
located at 1201 NE 38th Street, Oakland Park, FL 33334.

         Zunblindage Facility.  Zunblindage leases a 5,700 square foot warehouse
facility located at Rue Leon Frederig, 14 4020 Liege, Belgium and a 1,800 square
foot store located at passage Lemonnier, 8 4000 Liege, Belgium. These spaces are
occupied pursuant to a nine year lease with annual rentals of $42,000.


PENDING LITIGATION

         On August  1996,  the Company  commenced  a lawsuit  against the former
shareholders  of OPI, Mr. Jeffrey Schepp and Mr. Leon Wagner for breach of their
employment contracts,  negligent misrepresentation and injunctive relief seeking
to enforce a covenant  not to  compete.  On April 23,  1997,  this  lawsuit  was
settled in mediation and resulted in the former  shareholders  returning  38,625
shares of the Company's common stock which were subsequently retired.

         In June  1996,  the  Company  commenced  a lawsuit  against  the former
president of NDL, Mr. Barry Finn,  for breach of his  employment  agreement.  On
December 13, 1996 Mr. Finn filed a  counterclaim  against the Company  asserting
Breach of  Contract.  The legal  counsel  handling the case for the Company have
advised that it is too early to reliably predict the outcome of the case.

         The Company is party to other  litigation  matters and claims which are
normal in the course of its operations,  and while the results of the litigation
and claims cannot be predicted with  certainty,  management  believes,  based on
advice of counsel,  the final outcome of such matters will not have a materially
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position.

                                   MANAGEMENT

         The Directors  serve for a term of one year following their election at
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and until their successors have been elected
and qualified the officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Directors and Executive Officers

         The executive officers,  directors and key employees of the Company and
their respective positions and ages as of April 21, 1997, are as follows:

         David H. Brooks,  age 42, has served as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive  Officer of the Company since its  inception.  Mr. Brooks has been the
Chairman of the Board,  President  and a Director of Brooks  Industries of L.I.,
Inc. ("Brooks Industries"),  since October 1988, a New York corporation of which
he is the sole  shareholder  and  through  which he  makes  investments.  Brooks
Industries  engages in the venture capital  business and in securities  trading.
Mr. Brooks served as a consultant to U.S. Alcohol Testing of America Inc. during
the  period  from  February  1991 to  November  1992  and  has,  through  Brooks
Industries,  served  as  a  consultant  to  Good  Ideas  Enterprises,   Inc.,  a
majority-owned  indirect  subsidiary  of U.S.  Alcohol  pursuant to an agreement
having a five-year  term expiring in May 1997. Mr. Brooks served as a consultant
to The  Thunder  Group,  Inc.  from  October  25,  1991,  until the filing of an
involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition against The Thunder Group in February
1993.  In each case,  Mr.  Brooks  provided  advice on matters  relating  to the
business,  financial  management and marketing  activities.  Mr. Brooks does not
serve as a consultant to any other  company at the present time and,  other than
as  previously  described,  he has not served in such capacity for more than the
past five years.  Mr. Brooks received a bachelor of science degree in accounting
from  New  York  University  in  1976.  Since  that  time  he has  been  engaged
principally as an investor for his own account.

         David H.  Brooks,  his  brother  Jeffrey  Brooks,  and  Jeffrey  Brooks
Securities,  Inc.  ("JBSI"),  which was wholly owned by Jeffrey Brooks,  entered
into a consent  decree in December  1992 with the SEC. The SEC had filed a civil
complaint in the United States  District Court for the Southern  District of New
York (Docket No.  922846)  alleging  that an employee of JBSI was involved in an
unlawful  insider-trading scheme allegedly conducted through JBSI and the filing
of false information by JBSI, a registered  broker-dealer.  The SEC alleged that
JBSI did not establish,  maintain or enforce  policies and  procedures  that are
required under Section 15(f) of the Exchange Act, designed to detect and prevent
insider  trading by an  employee  of JBSI,  and that JBSI did not make  required
disclosures  under Section  15(b) of the Exchange  Act. The SEC further  alleged
that David  Brooks  exercised  "de facto  control" of certain  aspects of JBSI's
operations  and that David  Brooks and  Jeffrey  Brooks  aided and  abetted  the
reporting  violations  of JBSI.  Pursuant to the  settlement  of these  charges,
without admitting or denying such allegations,  David Brooks, Jeffrey Brooks and
JBSI were  assessed an aggregate  civil fine of $405,000 and were  enjoined from
future  violations of Section 15(b) and 15(f) of the Exchange Act;  David Brooks
was  barred  from  having  any direct or  indirect  interest  in, or acting as a
director,  officer or employee  of, any  broker,  dealer,  municipal  securities
dealer, investment advisor, or investment company (provided that David Brooks is
able to apply to become so associated after a five-year period);  Jeffrey Brooks
is prohibited from acting in a supervisory capacity with respect to any employee
<PAGE>
or any  broker,  dealer,  municipal  securities  dealer,  investment  company or
investment  advisor for a period of one year; and JBSI was required to institute
and maintain procedures pursuant to Section 15(f) of the Exchange Act. Mr. David
Brooks is not under any  prohibition  from  serving as an officer or director of
any  public  company  other than a  registered  broker-dealer  or an  investment
company.

         Mary  Kreidell,  age 43,  has  served as  Treasurer,  Secretary,  and a
Director of the Company since its inception.  Mrs.  Kreidell  became a Certified
Public Accountant in 1991. She worked for Israeloff, Trattner & Co. CPA'S, P.C.,
a certified public accounting firm, for four years prior thereto.

         Leonard  Rosen,  age 58,  is a  founder  of PACA and has  served as its
President since its inception in 1975. He is actively  involved in all facets of
PACA's  operations,  from  production to sales.  Mr. Rosen has experience in the
apparel  industry  for over 35 years.  He worked  closely  in the  research  and
development of ballistic-resistant  soft body armor and helmets with the Federal
Government,  including  serving  as a  charter  member  of  the  committee  that
conceived the National  Institute of Justice "0l"  Standard for  ballistic  body
armor.

         Sandra  Hatfield,  age 43,  has been  President  of Point  Blank  since
October 1996. For more than 5 years prior thereto, she was the Vice President of
Production at PACA.

         Michael Bell,  age 43,  became the President of NDL in March 1997.  For
more than five years prior  thereto,  he was the President  and Chief  Executive
Officer of Converse, Inc.

         Joseph Giaquinto, age 32, has been President of NDL's Flex Aid division
since March, 1995. For more than 7 years prior thereto,  he was a Vice President
of Sales for Tru-Fit Marketing, of Boston, Massachusetts.

         Patrick J. Garvey, age 61, is the Director of Canal Enterprises for the
N.Y.  State Thruway  Authority and its wholly owned  subsidiary,  the N.Y. State
Canal  Corp  (development  for  commercial  shipping  and  economic  development
initiatives). Prior to joining the Thruway Authority in 1993, he served for more
than seven  years as the  Commander  of Camp  Smith in  Peekskill,  N.Y.  and as
Legislative  Assistant  to the  Adjunct  General  of N.Y.  Mr.  Garvey is also a
retired Colonel in the United States Marine Corps Reserve.

         Gary Nadelman,  age 44, has been the president of Synari,  Inc., of New
York, NY, a privately held  manufacturer  and distributor of women's  sportswear
and other apparel, for more than 5 years.

         Morton A.  Cohen,  age 61,  has over ten years  experience  in  venture
capital and over twenty-five years experience in the public securities industry,
both as a securities analyst and a investment banker.  Also, he has successfully
managed  several  emerging  growth  companies.  Mr.  Cohen  has  been  Chairman,
President and Chief Executive  Officer of Clarion Capital Corp.  since 1982. Mr.
Cohen  served  as  Governor  of the  Montreal  Stock  Exchange,  is a  Chartered
Financial Analyst and holder of a M. B.A. from the Wharton School of Business of
the  University of  Pennsylvania.  Mr. Cohen was a member of the Small  Business
Investment  Advisory of Small Business  Investment  Companies and is a member of
the Small Business  Investment  Advisory Council.  He is the Chairman of Monitek
Technologies,  Inc.  (NASDAQ),  Chairman of Cohesant  Technologies  (NASDAQ) and
Director of Gothic Energy (NASDAQ) and a director of Zemex Corp (NYSE).

         Robert  Trevisani,  age 62,  is a  senior  partner  in the  Boston  and
Washington  D.C.  law firm of Gadsby &  Hannah.  He was a former  Special  Trial
counsel  for the General  Counsel of the U.S.  Treasury  Department  in New York
City. He holds degrees from Boston College (BA),  Boston College of Law (JD) and
New York University Graduate School of Law (LLD).

         Because  of the  relatively  small size of the  Company,  the loss of a
senior  executive may have a materially  adverse effect upon the Company until a
suitable replacement can be found.

         "Certain Transactions."

(3)      Mr. Rosen is the lessor of PACA's  premises in Norris,  Tennessee.  See
         "Properties" and "Certain  Transactions." The Company does not consider
         the lease payments to be  compensation,  because they are not in excess
         of the fair market value of the lease.
<PAGE>
(4)      In October  1995,  the Company  adopted a plan (the "1995 Stock  Option
         Plan" or the  "Plan")  pursuant  to which the Board of  Directors  or a
         committee (the  "committee")  of the Board is authorized to award up to
         3,500,000 shares of Common Stock,  after giving effect to the 50% stock
         dividend  paid on July  16,  1996,  to  selected  officers,  employees,
         agents,  consultants  and other  persons  who  render  services  to the
         Company.  The  options  may be issued on such terms and  conditions  as
         determined  by the  Board  or  Committee,  and may be  issued  so as to
         qualify as incentive stock options under Internal  Revenue Code Section
         422A.  The  directors  who are  authorized  to  award  options  are not
         eligible  to receive  options  under the Plan.  The Company has filed a
         registration  statement with respect to the Plan,  and shares  ("Option
         Shares")  of Common  Stock  acquired  under the Plan are  eligible  for
         resale by non-affiliates  without further  registration  under the Act;
         Option Shares  acquired by affiliates of the Company are subject to the
         registration  requirements of the Act. No shares have been issued under
         this plan.

include provisions for certain of his Florida living expenses. Subsequent to the

right to the  provision in his  employment  contract for the annual bonus of ten
percent of net profit.

         Mr. Rosen is employed pursuant to a five-year employment agreement with

shares of common stock at a price of $1.33 per share  exercisable at the rate of
not more than 16,500 shares per year. In March 1997,  NDL's and OPI's President,
Mr. Bell, entered into a three year employment  contract providing for an annual
base salary of $100,000 plus certain fringe benefits.

         Stock  Options.  In April  1997 and April  1996,  the  Company  granted
750,000 stock warrants per year  exercisable at $2.33 for five years to the CEO,
David Brooks,  in connection with his employment  contract.  No additional stock
options,  warrants  or similar  securities,  rights or  interests  to any of the
executive  officers of the  Company  listed in the  Summary  Compensation  Table
above, and no options, warrants or similar securities,  rights or interests were
exercised by any such executive officers.  In 1994, a warrant was issued to Mrs.
Terry  Brooks in exchange  for loans by Mrs.  Brooks and her pledging of certain
assets  to  secure  the  Company's   indebtedness  to  the  Bank.  See  "Certain
Transactions."
<PAGE>
         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  requires  the
Company's  directors and executive  officers,  and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered  class of the Company's  equity  securities to file with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission initial reports of ownership and reports
of changes of  ownership  of Common  Stock and other  equity  securities  of the
Company.

         To the  Company's  knowledge,  based  solely on review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Company and written  representations that no other
reports  were  required  during the fiscal year ended  December  31,  1996,  all
Section 16(a) filing  requirements  applicable  to its  officers,  directors and
greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with.

Personal Liability and Indemnification of Directors

         The  Company's   Certificate  of  Incorporation   and  By-Laws  contain
provisions  which reduce the  potential  personal  liability  of  directors  for
certain  monetary  damages and  provide for  indemnity  of  directors  and other
persons. The Company is unaware of any pending or threatened  litigation against
the Company or its  directors  that would result in any liability for which such
director would seek indemnification or similar protection.

         Such indemnification provisions are intended to increase the protection
provided  directors  and,  thus,  increase the Company's  ability to attract and
retain qualified  persons to serve as directors.  Because  directors'  liability
insurance is available only at considerable  cost and with low dollar amounts of
coverage and broad policy exclusions,  the Company does not currently maintain a
liability  insurance  policy for the  benefit  of its  directors,  although  the
Company  may  attempt to acquire  such  insurance  in the  future.  The  Company
believes  that  the  substantial  increase  in  the  number  of  lawsuits  being
threatened or filed  against  corporations  and their  directors and the general
unavailability of directors'  liability  insurance to provide protection against
the  increased  risk of personal  liability  resulting  from such  lawsuits have
combined  to result in a growing  reluctance  on the part of capable  persons to
serve as members of boards of  directors of public  companies.  The Company also
believes  that  the  increased  risk  of  personal  liability  without  adequate
insurance  or other  indemnity  protection  for its  directors  could  result in
overcautious  and  less  effective  direction  and  management  of the  Company.
Although no directors have resigned or have  threatened to resign as a result of
the absence of such insurance or other indemnity  protection from liability,  it
is uncertain  whether the Company's  directors  would  continue to serve in such
capacities if improved protection from liability were not provided.

         The  provisions   regarding   personal  liability  do  not  abrogate  a
director's  fiduciary  duty to the Company and its  shareholders,  the  personal
liability for monetary  damages for breach of that duty.  The provisions do not,
however,  eliminate  or limit the  liability of a director for failing to act in
good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law,
for authorizing  the illegal  payment of a dividend or repurchase of stock,  for
obtaining an improper  personal  benefit,  for  breaching a  director's  duty of
loyalty  (which  is  generally  described  as  the  duty  not to  engage  in any
transaction  which  involves a conflict  between the interest of the Company and
those of the director) or for  violations of the federal  securities  laws.  The
provisions  also limit or indemnify  against  liability  resulting  from grossly
negligent  decisions  including grossly negligent business decisions relating to
attempts to change control of the Company.
<PAGE>
         The provisions regarding  indemnification provide, in essence, that the
Company will  indemnify its directors  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection  with any action,  suit or proceeding  arising out of the
director's status as a director of the Company,  including actions brought by or
on behalf of the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do not
require a showing of good faith. Moreover,  they do not provide  indemnification
for liability  arising out of willful  misconduct,  fraud,  or  dishonesty,  for
"short-swing"profits  violations  under the federal  securities laws, or for the
receipt  of  illegal   remuneration.   The   provisions   also  do  not  provide
indemnification  for any  liability  to the extent such  liability is covered by
insurance.  One purpose of the provisions is to supplement the coverage provided
by such insurance.  However,  as mentioned above, the Company does not currently
provide such  insurance  to its  directors,  and there is no guarantee  that the
Company  will  provide  such  insurance  to its  directors  in the near  future,
although the Company may attempt to obtain such insurance.

         The provision  regarding  personal  liability of officers and directors
diminish the  potential  rights of action which might  otherwise be available to
shareholders  by limiting the liability of officers and directors to the maximum
extent  allowable under  applicable  state law and by affording  indemnification
against most damages and settlement amounts paid by a director of the Company in
connection with any shareholder  derivative action.  However,  the provisions do
not have the effect of limiting the right of a shareholder  to enjoin a director
from taking actions in breach of his fiduciary  duty, or to cause the Company to
rescind  actions  already  taken,  although as a piratical  matter courts may be
unwilling  to grant  such  equitable  remedies  in  circumstances  in which such
actions have already been taken.  Also,  because the Company does not  presently
have director's  liability  insurance and because there is no assurance that the
Company does not presently have directors' liability insurance and because there
is no assurance  that the Company will procure such  insurance or that,  if such
insurance is procured, it will provide coverage to the extent directors would be
indemnified  under such provisions,  the Company may be forced to bear a portion
or all of the  cots  of a  director's  claims  for  indemnification  under  such
provisions. If the Company if forced to bear the costs for indemnification,  the
value of the Company's  stock may be adversely  affected.  In the opinion of the
SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is
against public policy and therefore, is unenforceable.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS 

         The Company  obtained funds for the cash payment  required to carry out
the  acquisition of the assets used to start up NDL, and for working capital for
NDL, from (i) the Company's working capital, (ii) the Loan, and (iii) term loans
of $1,140,000 from Mr. Brooks and term loans from Mrs. Brooks,  bearing interest
at 9% per year.  Presently  the  outstanding  balance  of this loan is  $550,000
expiring April 1997 and has been renewed until November 1998 bearing interest at
12% per  year.  The  interest  paid on this  loan to date is  $218,877.  Under a
collateral  agreement  [third  party]  (the  "Collateral   Agreement")  covering
securities  owned by Mr. David H. Brooks,  Chairman of the Board of the Company,
and Mrs. Terry Brooks, his wife, Mr. Brooks and Mrs. Brooks have pledged certain
marketable  securities to the Bank to partially  secure the Bank Loans and other
obligations  of the Company to the Bank.  In exchange for this,  the Company has
agreed to grant to Mrs. Brooks 5-year warrants to purchase  3,750,000  shares of
Common Stock, at a price of $1.33 per share. The warrants contain provisions for
a one-time demand  registration,  and piggyback  registration  rights. Mr. David
Brooks  also lent  $2,000,000  to the  Company  to provide  the funds  needed to
purchase the Point Blank  Assets;  the  outstanding  balance on that loan is now
$750,000 at 12% interest  payable  November 1998; the Company  obtained funds to
pay down the loan by liquidating  certain  investments at a profit.  The Company
has paid for the account of Mr. and Mrs.  Brooks a total of $133,274 in interest
on their loans to the Company.  Mr. and Mrs.  Brooks have also pledged  personal
assets to BNY to secure the  Company's  debt to that bank.  The Company  entered
into an  employment  agreement in April 1996 with Mr.  Brooks,  See  "Employment
Agreements".

         From January 1, 1996 through April 28, 1997, the Company sold 1,395,000
unregistered  shares of Common Stock to  approximately  sixteen people including
57,143 shares to Anna Brooks. Anna Brooks is the mother of Mr. David Brooks.

         NDL,  Point  Blank and OPI  operate at a 67,000  square foot office and
warehouse  facility (the  "Facility")  located at 4031 N.E.  12th Terrace,  Fort
Lauderdale, Florida 33334, which it leases from V.A.E. Enterprises ("V.A.E."), a
partnership  controlled by Mrs.  Brooks and  beneficially  owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Brooks'  minor  children,  which  purchased  the Facility on or about January 1,
1995. The lease is a 5-year net-net lease; annual base rental is $480,000 and is
scheduled to increase by 4% per year. The Company, as lessee, is responsible for
all real estate taxes and other operating and capital expenses.

         PACA leases 23,400 square feet of office,  manufacturing  and warehouse
space at 148 Cedar Place,  Norris,  Tennessee from Leonard  Rosen,  President of
PACA,  at a  present  annual  rental  of  $43,200,  plus  real  estate  taxes of
approximately  $4,800  annually.  The space is occupied  pursuant to a five-year
lease which expires October 31, 1997, with an option to acquire the property for
$500,000. In the opinion of management, the rental is fair and reasonable and is
approximately  at the same  rate that  could be  obtained  from an  unaffiliated
lessor for property of similar type and location.  In the opinion of management,
PACA's  facilities  are adequate for its current  needs and for its needs in the
foreseeable future.

                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES 

         The following is a summary of certain  provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation,  as  amended,  and rights  accorded  to  holders of Common  Stock
generally  and as a matter of law,  and does not purport to be  complete.  It is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Restated  Certificate of
Incorporation,  the Company's By-Laws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law.
See "Special  Notice  Regarding  Reincorporation  in Delaware"  and  "Business -
History."

Common Stock

         General.  Under the Company's  Delaware charter and applicable law, the
Board of Directors  has broad  authority  and  discretion  to issue  convertible
preferred  stock,  options and  warrants,  which,  if issued in the future,  may
impact the rights of the holders of the Common Stock.

         Cash  Dividends.  Holders of Common Stock may receive  dividends if, as
and when  dividends  are  declared  on Common  Stock by the  Company's  Board of
Directors.  If the Board of  Directors  hereafter  authorizes  the  issuance  of
preferred  shares,  and such  preferred  shares carry any dividend  preferences,
holders of Common Stock may have no right to receive  dividends unless and until
dividends  have  been  declared  and  paid.  At the  present  time,  there is no
preferred  stock  authorized  or  outstanding.  The  ability  of the  Company to
lawfully  declare and pay  dividends  on Common Stock is also limited by certain
provisions  of  applicable  state  corporation  law.  It is  not  expected  that
dividends will be declared on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

         Distributions in Liquidation.  If the Company is liquidated,  dissolved
and  wound  up for  any  reason,  distribution  of  the  Company's  assets  upon
liquidation  would be made first to the holders of preferred shares, if any, and
then to the  holders of the  Common  Stock.  If the  Company's  net assets  upon
liquidation were insufficient to permit full payment to the holders of shares of
preferred  stock,  if any,  then  all of the  assets  of the  Company  would  be
distributed  pro  rata to the  holders  of  shares  of  preferred  stock  and no
distribution  will be made to the  holders  of the  Common  Stock.  There are no
shares of preferred  stock  authorized,  issued or  outstanding  at this time. A
consolidation  or merger of the Company with or into any other  company,  or the
sale of all or  substantially  all of the  Company's  assets,  is not  deemed  a
liquidation, distribution or winding up for this purpose.

         Voting  Rights.  Each share of Common  Stock is entitled to one vote on
all  matters to be voted on at  meetings  of the  shareholders  of the  Company,
including  the  election  of  directors.  The  holders  of Common  Stock will be
entitled to elect all of the Company's directors. Holders of Common Stock do not
have any cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights.

Preferred Shares

         The Company's  Delaware  charter  authorizes  the Board of Directors to
issue up to  5,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock,  $0.001  par  value of the
Company, in such amounts and with such rights to dividends,  voting, conversion,
redemption  and other  terms as the  Board  may  determine.  At this  thine,  no
preferred stock is authorized, issued or outstanding. The Company had previously
issued Class A convertible preferred stock, but all outstanding preferred shares
were converted prior September 30, 1995.
<PAGE>
                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS 

An  aggregate  of up to 50,000  Shares of Common Stock may be offered by Selling
Shareholders. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to
people for whom the Company is  registering  for resale to the public  shares of
the Company's  Common Stock.  The table reflects such person's  ownership of the
Common Stock as of April 28,  1997,  without  giving  effect to the sales of any
shares under the other registration statements. The Company will not receive any
proceeds  form the  sale of the  Shares.  There  are no  material  relationships
between  any  of  the  Selling  Shareholders  and  the  Company  or  any  of its
predecessors  or affiliates,  nor have any such material  relationships  existed
within the past three years, except as noted.

In addition, an aggregate of up to 4,000,000 Acquistion Shares which the Company
may hereafter issue in connection with one or more future business  acquisitions
and may then be resold by the recipients  thereof.  The Company will not receive
any of the proceeds of the resale by any of these shares.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 

         The resale of the Shares by the Selling  Shareholders and the resale of
the Acquisition  Shares by the recipients which are issued in one or more future
business  acquisitions  by the  Company  may be  effected  from  time to time in
transactions  (which may include block transactions by or for the account of the
Selling  Shareholders  or for the account of the  recipients of the  Acquisition
Shares)  in  the  over-the-counter  market  or  in  negotiated  transactions,  a
combination  of such methods of sale, or  otherwise.  Sales may be made at fixed
prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or
at negotiated prices.
<PAGE>
         Selling  Shareholders  and  recipients  of the  Acquisition  Shares may
effect such  transactions  by selling  their shares of Common Stock  directly to
purchasers,   through   broker-dealers   acting  as  agents   for  the   Selling
Shareholders,  or to  broker-dealers  who may purchase  shares as principals and
thereafter sell their shares from time to time in the  over-the-counter  market,
in negotiated  transactions,  or  otherwise.  Such  broker-dealers,  if any, may
receive compensation in the form of discounts,  concessions, or commissions from
the Selling  Shareholders,  and recipients of the Acquisition Shares, and/or the
purchasers  for whom such  broker-dealers  may act as agents or to whom they may
sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer
may be in excess of customary commissions).

         The Selling Shareholders, and recipients of the Acquisition Shares, and
broker-dealers,  if any,  acting in connection with such sale might be deemed to
be "underwriters"  within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and
any  commission  received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities
might  be  deemed  to  be  underwriting  discounts  and  commissions  under  the
Securities Act.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors of
DHB Capital Group Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DHB Capital Group
Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  as of December  31,  1996 and the related  consolidated
statements  of  operations,  stockholders'  equity  and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. These  consolidated  financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit   in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit  to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by management,  as well as evaluating  the overall  consolidated
financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audit   provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the  financial  position of DHB Capital  Group Inc. and
Subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1996 and the results of its  operations and its
cash flows for the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995, in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                      FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995



1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION/REPORTING ENTITIES

The  consolidated   financial   statements  of  DHB  Capital  Group,   Inc.  and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") include the following entities:

DHB Capital Group, Inc.
DHB Capital Group Inc.  ("DHB") was  incorporated  on October 22, 1992 under the
laws of the State of New York.  DHB was organized to seek,  acquire and finance,
as  appropriate,  one or more  operating  companies.  On February 15, 1995,  the
holders of the common  stock  approved a  re-incorporation  of DHB as a Delaware
corporation, through a merger with a newly formed Delaware corporation.

DHB Armor Group, Inc.
On August 8, 1995,  the Company  formed a new  Delaware  Corporation  which is a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company. The subsidiary,  DHB Armor Group, Inc.,
("Armor"),  now wholly  owns PACA and Point  Blank  Body  Armor,  Inc.,  ("Point
Blank").

   Protective Apparel Corporation of America
   Protective Apparel  Corporation of America ("PACA") was organized in 1975 and
   is engaged in the  development,  manufacture  and  distribution of bullet and
   projectile   resistant   garments,    including   bullet   resistant   vests,
   fragmentation  vests,  bomb  projectile  blankets and  tactical  load bearing
   vests.  In addition,  PACA  distributes  other ballistic  protection  devices
   including helmets and shields. PACA is dependent upon a few suppliers for the
   raw materials utilized to manufacture its products.

   Point Blank Body Armor, Inc.
   In August 1995, the Company,  through a wholly-owned  subsidiary known as USA
   Fitness & Protection Corp, a Delaware Corporation,  acquired from a Chapter 7
   bankruptcy  auction  certain  assets of Point Blank Body Armor,  L.P.  and an
   affiliated  company ("Old Point  Blank"),  for a cash payment of  $2,000,000,
   free of all  liabilities.  Prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy,
   Old Point Blank had been the leading U.S.  manufacturer  of  bullet-resistant
   garments and related  accessories.  After acquiring the Old Point Blank,  USA
   Fitness & Protection  Corp.,  amended its articles of incorporation to change
   their name to Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. ("Point Blank").

NDL Products, Inc.
On December  20,  1994,  the  Company  through a newly  organized,  wholly-owned
subsidiary, DHB Acquisition, Inc., ("Acquisition") purchased certain assets from
a  Chapter  7  bankruptcy  auction,   N.D.L.  Products,   Inc.  for  $3,080,000.
Acquisition   did  not  assume  any   continuing   obligations  of  the  debtor-
in-possession,  nor did the management of the debtor-in-possession  continue. On
February 21, 1995, Acquisition changed its corporate name to NDL Products,  Inc.
NDL manufactures  and distributes  specialized  protective  athletic apparel and
equipment.

                      NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

Orthopedic Products, Inc.
On March 22 and March 26, 1996, the Company  exchanged a total of 270,000 shares
(after giving effect to the 50% stock  dividend) of its registered  common stock
to acquire 100% of the common stock of OPI, a Florida Corporation engaged in the
manufacturing  and distribution of orthopedic  products to the medical industry.
This  transaction  was  accounted  for as a purchase,  and resulted in an excess
purchase  price  over  the  fair  value  of  identifiable  assets  acquired  and
liabilities  assumed  which was allocated to goodwill.  Fifty  thousand of these
shares are  restricted as follows:  25,000 shares cannot be sold until March 22,
1997 and 25, 000 shares cannot be sold until March 22, 1998.

Intelligent Data Corp.
On April 1, 1994, the Company acquired  4,530,000 common shares (60.4% interest)
and 1,100,000  preferred  shares of stock in Intelligent Data Corp.  ("ID"),  in
exchange for 425,000 shares of the Company's common stock. ID was engaged in the
development of sophisticated  telecommunication systems. At the end of 1996, the
Company wrote down the net assets of the investment.

DHB Media Group, Inc.
On April 15, 1994, DHB Media Group, Inc. ("Media"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company  acquired all of the outstanding  common stock of Royal  Acquisition
Corp.  in exchange  for 100,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock,  for a
purchase price of $300,000. Subsequent negotiations resulted in the reduction of
the acquisition cost by $36,550. Royal Acquisition Corp.'s primary assets were a
film  library.  At the end of 1996 the Company  wrote down the net assets of the
investment.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

All material intercompany  transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include
those relating to the valuation of inventories  and  non-marketable  securities,
and collectibility of receivables.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized on product sales upon shipment to the customer.

                    DHB CAPITAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For  purposes of the  statement  of cash flows,  the  Company  includes  cash on
deposit,  money market funds and amounts held by brokers in cash  accounts to be
cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE/NON-MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Securities  which are  classified  as "trading  securities"  are recorded in the
Company's balance sheet at fair market value, with the resulting unrealized gain
or loss  recognized  as  income  in the  current  period.  Securities  which are
classified  as  "available  for sale" are also  reported at fair  market  value,
however, the unrealized gain or loss on these securities is listed as a separate
component of shareholder's equity.

Non-marketable  securities,  such as investments in privately-held companies are
carried at historical  cost, if necessary,  reduced by a valuation  allowance to
net realizable value.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Major  expenditures  for property and
those which  substantially  increase useful lives are capitalized.  Maintenance,
repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or
otherwise  disposed of,  their costs and related  accumulated  depreciation  are
removed from the accounts and resulting  gains or losses are included in income.
Depreciation is provided by both straight-line and accelerated  methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line  basis over ten years. The amount
allocated to on-going  government  contracts is being amortized over the life of
the  individual  contracts,  which are  typically  1-5 years.  Patents are being
amortized on a straight-line  basis over 17 years.  Other intangible  assets are
being amortized on a straight-line  basis over their estimated lives,  typically
5-15 years. When the assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their cost and
related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting
gains or losses are included in income.  Accumulated  amortization  was $440,424
and $429,297 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The  computation  of earnings per common share is based on the weighted  average
number of  outstanding  common  shares  outstanding  during the period.  Primary
earnings  per share and fully  diluted  earnings  per share  amounts  assume the
conversion of the Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock, and the exercise of

was  given a three  year  employment  contract  with an  annual  base  salary of
$100,000, plus certain fringe benefits and incentive bonuses.


LITIGATION

In August 1996, the Company commenced a lawsuit against the former  shareholders
of OPI for breach of their employment contracts, negligent misrepresentation and
injunctive  relief  seeking  to  enforce a covenant  not to  compete.  The legal
counsel  handling  the case for the Company have advised that it is too early to
reliably predict the outcome of the case.

In June 1996, the Company  commenced a lawsuit  against the former  president of
NDL for breach of his employment  agreement.  On December 13, 1996 the defendant
filed a counterclaim against the Company asserting Breach of Contract. The legal
counsel  handling  the case for the Company have advised that it is too early to
reliably predict the outcome of the case.

The Company is party to other litigation  matters and claims which are normal in
the course of  operations,  and while the results of the  litigation  and claims
cannot be  predicted  with  certainty,  managment  believes,  based on advice of
counsel,  the final  outcome of such matters will not have a materially  adverse
effect on the consolidated financial position.
