                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements
     include  all normal  recurring  adjustments,  which are,  in the opinion of
     management  of  the  registrant,  necessary  for a  fair  statement  of the
     operating results for the period presented. These financial statements have
     been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-Q  and
     therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
     presentation of financial position,  results of operations,  and changes in
     cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(2) Inventory

     Inventories at June 30, 1998 consist of the following:

     Raw materials.......................................... $13,838
     Work-in-process........................................   4,419
     Finished goods.........................................  13,614
                                                             -------
                                                             $31,871
                                                             =======


(3)  Intangible Assets

     The  excess of cost  over the net  tangible  assets  acquired  consists  of
     patents, customer lists,  technology-related  agreements, and goodwill, and
     is amortized  on a  straight-line  basis over periods from 2-15 years.  The
     Company periodically re-evaluates the carrying value of its intangibles and
     its other long-term  assets based on the expected  undiscounted  cash flows
     over the remaining life of the related assets.  Certain  intangibles  which
     were created at the inception of the Company became fully amortized in 1997

(4)  Comprehensive Income

     Effective  January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130,  "Comprehensive  Income." SFAS No. 130
     requires  all items that are  required to be  recognized  under  accounting
     standards as components of comprehensive  income be reported in a financial
     statement  that is displayed  with the same  prominence as other  financial
     statements. The provisions of the SFAS No. 130 however, need not be applied
     to immaterial items. The Company's  comprehensive  loss is impacted only by
     immaterial foreign currency translation adjustments.

(5)  Acquisitions

     On  April  22,  1998,  the  Company,  through  its  subsidiaries,   Jackson
     Acquisition,  Inc. and Crystaloid  Technologies,  Inc., acquired all of the
     outstanding  capital stock of American Allsafe Company and  Silencio/Safety
     Direct, Inc. for $29.1 million, as adjusted, (the Allsafe Acquisition") and
     all of the outstanding capital stock of Crystaloid  Electronics,  Inc., for
     $6.5  million  (the  "Crystaloid  Acquisition"),  $0.5  million of which is
     payable in 18 months subject to certain conditions. The Allsafe Acquisition
     and the Crystaloid Acquisition were accounted for using the purchase method
     of  accounting.  Accordingly,  total  purchase  costs  for  each  of  these
     transactions  has been  allocated  to the  assets  and  liabilities  of the
     Company based on their respective fair values at

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


     April 22, 1998. The results of operations of the acquired  businesses  have
     been  included  in  the  consolidated   financial  statements  since  their
     respective  acquisition  dates.  Intangible  assets totaling  approximately
     $10,875 and $3,715 were recorded in connection with the Allsafe Acquisition
     and Crystaloid Acquisition, respectively.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations of the Company
     for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997 gives  effect to :(i) the
     Allsafe Acquisition and the Crystaloid  Acquisition (ii) the acquisition of
     Lansec;  and (iii) the refinancing as if each had occurred on the first day
     of  the  period  presented.   Assuming  the  Allsafe  Acquisition  and  the
     Crystaloid  Acquisition  occurred on January 1, 1997 pro forma consolidated
     net sales  would  have been $91.5  million  and $82.0  million  for the six
     months  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997,  respectively;   the  pro  forma
     consolidated  net loss would have been $6.9  million and $17.7  million for
     the six months  ended  June 30,  1998 and 1997,  respectively;  and the pro
     forma  consolidated net income before  extraordinary  items would have been
     $0.7  million  for six months  ended  June 30,  1998 and a net loss of $9.8
     million for the six months ended June 30,  1997.  These  amounts  represent
     unaudited  data and in  management's  opinion are not  indicative of actual
     results had the  acquisitions  been  consummated  at the  beginning  of the
     respective fiscal years.

(6)  Financing activities

     In connection  with the  refinancing  and the Allsafe  Acquisition  and the
     Crystaloid Acquisition,  the Company recorded $7.6 million of extraordinary
     expense for the period ended June 30, 1998  consisting  of the write-off of
     deferred  financing   costs, unamortized  debt  discount  and  a prepayment
     premium.  Additionally, a portion of the refinancing proceeds were utilized
     to repay senior debt, senior  subordinated  notes,  preferred stock and the
     repurchase of common stock from an institutional investor.

     Credit Agreement
     In  connection  with the  Acquisitions,  the Company  entered into a credit
     agreement (the "New Credit Facility") with BankBoston,  N.A. and Mercantile
     Bank National  Association,  which will provide for a line of credit in the
     aggregate  amount of  $125.0  million  consisting  of an  acquisition  line
     facility in the principal  amount of $95.0  million and a revolving  credit
     facility in the principal amount of $30.0 million.  The New Credit Facility
     also contains  several  financial  covenants,  which require the Company to
     maintain  certain  financial  ratios and restrict the Company's  ability to
     incur  indebtedness.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at
     June 30, 1998. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver and
     the Acquisition Facility is 1/2 % per annum, payable quarterly.

     Borrowings under the Credit  Agreement bear interest,  at the option of the
     Company,  at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the
     Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% for the Revolver and the Acquisition  Facility
     or (ii) the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit  Agreement) plus 2.25% for
     the  Revolver  and  the  Acquisition  Facility.  For  each  fiscal  quarter
     following  June 30,  1998,  the factor added to either the Base Rate or the
     LIBOR Rate will be adjusted based on the ratio of the Company's  Total Debt
     to Operating  Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit  Agreement).  The average
     interest rate on the outstanding borrowings was 7.91% at June 30, 1998.

     Senior Subordinated Notes

     On April 16, 1998, the Company offered $115.0 million  aggregate  principal
     amount of Senior  Subordinated  Notes (the "Notes") due April 15, 2005 (the
     "Offering").  The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 9 1/2% per annum,
     payable  semi-annually  in arrears on April 15 and October 15 on each year,
     commencing  October 15, 1998. The payment of principal,  premium,  interest
     and liquidated damages on the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly
     and severally, by the Company's domestic subsidiaries ("Guarantors").

(7)  Subsequent Events

     On July 22, 1998,  American Allsafe  Company,  a wholly owned subsidiary of
     the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Kedman Company
     for a total purchase price of approximately $10 million.

(8)  Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

     Financial  information  regarding  the  Guarantors  as of June 30, 1998 and
     1997,  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997 and for the six
     months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is  presented  below for the purpose of
     complying with the reporting  requirements of the Guarantors  subsidiaries.
     The  financial  information  regarding the  Guarantors  is being  presented
     through condensed  consolidating  financial statements since the guarantees
     are full and  unconditional and are joint and several.  Gurantor  financial
     statements have not been presented because management does not believe that
     such financial statements are material to investors.

     and results should be read in conjunction  with the Company's  consolidated
     financial statements,  including the notes. All statements,  trend analysis
     and other information  contained in this filing relative to markets for the
     Company's  services  and trends in the  Company's  operations  or financial
     results, as well as other statements, including words such as "anticipate,"
     "believe,"  "plan,"  "estimate,"  "expect,"  and "intent" and other similar
     expressions,  constitute  forward-looking  statements as defined in Section
     21E(i)(1)  of the  Exchange  Act and are subject to business  and  economic
     risks and actual results may differ  materially from those  contemplated by
     the forward-looking statements.


     On April 22, 1998 the Company, through its subsidiary, Jackson Acquisition,
     Inc.  acquired all of the  outstanding  capital  stock of American  Allsafe
     Company  and  Silencio/Safety  Direct,  Inc.  for $29.1  million,  net of a
     working capital adjustment of $0.4 million (the "Allsafe Acquisition").  On
     April  23,   1998  the   Company,   through  its   subsidiary,   Crystaloid
     Technologies,  Inc.,  acquired  all of the  outstanding  capital  stock  of
     Crystaloid   Electronics,   Inc.,   for  $6.5  million   (the   "Crystaloid
     Acquisition"),  $0.5  million of which is  payable in 18 months  subject to
     certain  conditions.  Operating results of Allsafe and Crystaloid have been
     included in the financial  statements of the Company as of these dates.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months ended June 30, 1997

         Net sales- Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased
33.7% to $47.6  million  from $35.6  million in 1997.  The increase in net sales
resulted from the growth of personal safety  products  associated with the April
1998  Allsafe  Acquisition,  the  Crystaloid  Acquisition  and the October  1997
acquisition of Lansec (the "Lansec Acquisition").

         Cost of sales- Cost of sales for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998
increased  24.6% to $31.3  million  from $25.1  million in 1997,  primarily as a
result of the  increase  in net sales.  Cost of sales as a  percentage  of sales
decreased to 65.7% from 70.5% due to various cost reduction  programs and higher
margins associated with the acquired companies.

         Selling,  general  &  administrative  expenses-  Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 71.3%
to $6.7 million from $3.9 million due to the Allsafe Acquisition, the Crystaloid
Acquisition and Lansec Acquisition.  Selling,  general & administrative expenses
as a percentage of sales increased from 11% to 14% due to increased distribution
costs at Lansec.

         Operating  income- Operating income for the three months ended June 30,
1998  increased  to $7.6  million  from $1.6  million in 1997 due to the Allsafe
Acquisition  and the  Crystaloid  Acquisition  and a reduction  in  amortization
expenses as certain intangibles were fully amortized during 1997.

         Income tax expense-  Income tax expense for the three months ended June
30, 1998  increased  to $0.2  million due to an increase in foreign  taxes.  The
Company's  effective income tax rate is  substantially  lower than the statutory
rate due to non-deductible amortization expenses for certain intangibles.


Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 1997

         Net sales- Net sales for the six months  ended June 30, 1998  increased
26.4 % to $78.7  million from $62.3  million in 1997.  The increase in net sales

1998  Allsafe  Acquisition, the  Crystaloid   Acquisition  and  the  Lansec
Acquisition.

         Cost of sales-  Cost of sales for the six months  ended  June 30,  1998
increased 20% to $53.1 million from $44.2 million in 1997, primarily as a result
of the increase in net sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of sales  decreased
to 67.5% from 71% due to various  cost  reduction  programs  and higher  margins
associated with the acquired companies.

         Selling,  general  &  administrative  expenses-  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased  56.8%
to  $12.0  million  from  $7.6  million  due to  the  Allsafe  Acquisition,  the
Crystaloid   Acquisition  and  the  Lansec  Acquisition.   Selling,   general  &
administrative  expenses as a percentage of net sales  increased to 15% from 12%
due to an increase in distribution costs at Lansec.

         Operating  income-  Operating  income for the six months ended June 30,
1998  increased  to $9.9  million  from $0.7  million in 1997 due to the Allsafe
Acquisition,   the  Crystaloid  Acquisition  and  a  reduction  in  amortization
amortization expenses as certain intangibles were fully amortized during 1997.

         Income tax  expense-  Income tax expense for the six months  ended June
30,  1998  increased  to $0.3  million  from $0.1  million due to an increase in

proceeds  of the Senior  Subordinated  Notes and the New Credit  Facility.  (See
below).

Effective April 22, 1998, the Company entered into a credit  agreement (the "New
Credit   Facility")   with   BankBoston,   N.A.  and  Mercantile  Bank  National
Association,  which will provide for a line of credit in the aggregate amount of

On April 16, 1998, the Company offered $115 million  aggregate  principal amount
of Senior  Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due April 15, 2005 (the "Offering").
The  Notes  will  bear  interest  at the  rate  of 9  1/2%  per  annum,  payable
semi-annually  in  arrears on April 15 and  October 15 on each year,  commencing
October 15, 1998.  The payment of principal,  premium,  interest and  liquidated
damages on the Notes are unconditionally  guaranteed,  jointly and severally, by
the Company's domestic subsidiaries ("Guarantors").

The Company  believes that cash flow from  operations  together  with  available
borrowing  capacity are sufficient to fund working  capital  requirements,  debt
service requirements, and capital expenditures for the remainder of 1998.
