                                   (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 periods presented.  Certain 1998 balances have been reclassified
to conform to 1999  presentation.  Operating  results for the  six-month  period
ended June 30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.

(2)  Inventory

     Inventories at June 30, 1999 consist of the following (in thousands):

       Raw materials...................................... $15,710
       Work-in-process...................................    6,103
       Finished goods....................................   16,860

                                                           $38,673
                                                           =======

(3)  Acquisitions

     In 1998,  Jackson  Products,  Inc. (the Company) made several  acquisitions
including American Allsafe Company and Silencio/Safety Direct, Inc. on April 22,
1998; Crystaloid Technologies, Inc. on April 23, 1998 and Kedman Company on July
22, 1998 (collectively,  the  "Acquisitions").  The results of operations of the
acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated  financial statements
since their respective acquisition dates.

     On January 25, 1999, the Company acquired certain of the assets of OK Beads
Inc.  OK Beads  manufactures  reflective  glass  beads  used in  highway  safety
products such as road markers, signs, paint and reflective tape.

     On May  17,  1999,  the  Company,  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,
TMT-Pathway,  L.L.C., acquired the assets of Morton Traffic Markings, a division
of  Morton   International,   Inc.  for  $39.5  million.   TMT-Pathway,   L.L.C.
manufactures   and  distributes   traffic   coatings  and  specialized   coating
applications   equipment  for  the  highway  safety  industry.  The  TMT-Pathway
acquisition   was  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.
Accordingly,   the  total  purchase  cost  has  been  allocated  to  assets  and
liabilities  of the Company  based on their  respective  fair value.  Intangible
assets in the amount of $21.1  million  were  recorded  in  connection  with the
acquisition and are being amortized over five years.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations information of
the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 gives effect to: (i)
the Acquisitions,  the OK Beads acquisition and the TMT-Pathway acquisition; and
(ii) the  refinancing,  as  discussed  in Note 4, as if each had occurred on the
first day of the  period  presented.  Assuming  the  Acquisitions,  the OK Beads
acquisition  and the  TMT-Pathway  acquisition  occurred  on January 1, 1998 pro
forma  consolidated  net sales would have been $113.7 million and $112.0 million
for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998,  respectively;  the pro forma
consolidated  net loss would have been $1.4 million and $6.4 million for the six
months  ended  June  30,  1999  and  1998,  respectively;   and  the  pro  forma
consolidated net income (loss) before extraordinary items would have been ($1.4)
million  and $1.5  million  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 and 1998,
respectively.  These  pro  forma  amounts  represent  unaudited  data and in the
opinion of management of the  registrant,  are not  indicative of actual results
had the acquisitions  been consummated at the beginning of the respective fiscal
years.

(4)  Financing activities

Credit Agreement

     In connection with the Allsafe acquisition and the Crystaloid  acquisition,
the Company  entered into a credit  agreement (the "New Credit  Facility")  with
BankBoston, N.A. and Mercantile Bank National Association,  which provided for a
line of credit in the aggregate amount of $125.0 million.  This credit agreement
was  increased to $135.0  million  during the second  quarter of 1999.  The line
consists  of an  acquisition  line  facility in the  principal  amount of $105.0
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, 1999.  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
September  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 7.5% at June 30,  1999.  At June 30, 1999 there was
$15.2 million  outstanding on the revolving  credit facility and $1.4 million of
letters of credit outstanding resulting in availability of $13.4 million.

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 bear  interest  at the rate of 91/2% per annum,  payable
semi-annually  in  arrears on April 15 and  October 15 on each year,  commencing
October 15, 1998.  The payments of principal,  premium,  interest and liquidated
damages on the Notes are unconditionally  guaranteed,  jointly and severally, by
the Company's domestic subsidiaries ("Guarantors").

(5)  Condensed  Consolidating  Financial  Information

     Financial  information  regarding  the  Guarantors  as of June 30, 1999 and
December  31, 1998 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
is presented below for the purpose of complying with the reporting  requirements
of  the  Guarantor   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.   Guarantor  financial  statements  have  not  been  presented  because
management  does not believe  that such  financial  statements  are  material to
investors.  TMT-Pathway  L.L.C.  was  acquired in 1999 and is  reflected  in the
financial statements as one of the guarantor subsidiaries.

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

     The following  discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition
and  results  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  consolidated

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,

payable in 18 months subject to certain  conditions.  On July 22, 1998, American
Allsafe Company acquired all of the outstanding  capital stock of Kedman Company
(the " Kedman  Acquisition") for $9.2 million.  Operating results of the Allsafe
Acquisition,   the   Crystaloid   Acquisition   and   the   Kedman   Acquisition
(collectively,   the  "Acquisitions")   have  been  included  in  the  financial
statements of the Company as of these dates.

     On January 25, 1999 Jackson  Products,  Inc. acquired certain of the assets

results of the  TMT-Pathway  Acquisition  have been  included  in the  financial
statements of the Company as of this date.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

     Net sales- Net sales for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999  increased
25.0% to $59.5  million  from $47.6  million in 1998.  The increase in sales for
this  period  is  primarily   attributed  to  the  Kedman  Acquisition  and  the
TMT-Pathway  Acquisition,  which  provided  $9.7  million in net sales.  Had the
Acquisitions  and the  TMT-Pathway  Acquisition  occurred  on  January  1, 1998,
comparable  net sales for the three month periods  would have  increased by $1.5
million, or 2.4%.

     Cost of sales-  Cost of sales  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999
increased  23.0% to $38.5  million  from $31.3  million in 1998,  primarily as a
result of the  increase  in net sales.  Cost of sales as a  percentage  of sales
decreased  to 64.7% from  65.7% due to  various  cost  reductions  and  improved
margins associated with the Acquisitions.

     Selling,   general  &  administrative   expenses-   Selling,   general  and
administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 29.9%
to $8.7 million from $6.7 million due  primarily to the Kedman  Acquisition  and
the TMT-Pathway  Acquisition.  Selling,  general & administrative  expenses as a
percentage  of sales  increased  from 14.1% to 14.7% due to increased  corporate
administrative  expenses  attributed to the acquisitions and the requirements of
being a SEC registrant.

     Operating income- Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1999
increased to $9.1 million from $7.6 million in 1998 due to the  acquisitions and
the realization of various cost reductions.

     Income tax expense-  Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30,
1999  increased  to $0.5  million  from  $0.2  million  in 1998.  The  Company's
effective income tax rate is substantially  lower than the statutory rate due to
the Company's utilization of net operating losses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

     Net sales- Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 31.0%
to $103.1  million  from $78.7  million in 1998.  The increase in sales for this
period  is  primarily   attributed  to  the  Acquisitions  and  the  TMT-Pathway
Acquisition, which provided $26.2 million in net sales. Had the Acquisitions and
the  TMT-Pathway  Acquisition  occurred  on January  1, 1998,  net sales for the
comparable six month periods would have increased by $1.7 million,  or 1.5%, for
the two periods.

     Cost of  sales-  Cost of sales  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999
increased  28.6% to $68.4  million  from $53.2  million in 1998,  primarily as a
result of the  increase  in net sales.  Cost of sales as a  percentage  of sales
decreased  to 66.3% from  67.6% due to  various  cost  reductions  and  improved
margins associated with the Acquisitions.

     Selling,   general  &  administrative   expenses-   Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased  41.2%
to $16.8 million from $11.9 million due primarily to the Kedman  Acquisition and
the TMT-Pathway  Acquisition.  Selling,  general & administrative  expenses as a
percentage  of sales  increased  from 15.1% to 16.3% due to increased  corporate
administrative expenses associated with the acquisitions and the requirements of
being a SEC registrant.

     Operating  income-  Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1999
increased to $11.9  million from $9.8 million in 1998 due to strong  performance
by the acquisitions and the realization of various cost reductions.

     Income tax  expense-  Income tax expense for the six months  ended June 30,
1999  increased  to $0.7  million  from  $0.3  million  in 1998.  The  Company's
effective income tax rate is substantially  lower than the statutory rate due to
the Company's utilization of net operating losses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash used in  operating  activities  for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and  1998  was  $1.6  million  and  $1.0  million,  respectively  due to the TMT
Acquisition and its seasonal nature.

     Cash used in  investing  activities  for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 was $42.2 million and $38.0 million, respectively. Capital expenditures
for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 and 1998 were $3.6  million  and $1.9
million, respectively.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 was $43.7 million and $39.0 million, respectively. The TMT-Pathway
LLC,  Allsafe and Crystaloid  acquisitions  were  principally  financed with the
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
$125.0 million . This credit  agreement was amended during the second quarter of
1999 to  increase  the  line of  credit  to  $135.0  million,  consisting  of an
acquisition  line  facility  in the  principal  amount of $105.0  million  and a
revolving credit facility in the principal amount of $30.0 million.  At June 30,
1999 there was $15.2 million  outstanding on the revolving  credit  facility and
$1.4 million of letters of credit outstanding resulting in availability of $13.4
million.  The average  interest rate on the  outstanding  borrowings was 7.5% at
June 30, 1999.

     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 91/2%  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 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance

     Management has initiated a  comprehensive  study and program to prepare the
Company's computer systems,  manufacturing systems and facility systems, and the
related  systems  applications  for the Year  2000.  As it  relates  to  desktop
hardware  and  software  systems,  the  Company  has begun a desktop  update and
standardization  effort  which will  address Year 2000  compliance  issues.  The
Company is utilizing both internal and external  resources to identify,  correct
or reprogram the systems for the Year 2000 compliance. Additionally, the Company
is developing a contingency plan to attempt to address Year 2000 concerns beyond
the year 2000. The Company expects these efforts to be  substantially  completed
by September 30, 1999.

     The Company has initiated formal communication with its suppliers and large
customers  to  determine  the  extent  and steps they are taking to be Year 2000
compliant.  To date, no significant  issues have been identified that management
has not  addressed;  however there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's  businesses  rely will be converted in a timely
way  and  would  not  have  an  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  businesses.
Maintenance or modification  costs associated with Year 2000 will be expensed as
incurred, while the costs of new software will be capitalized and amortized over
the software's  useful life.  The Company  currently does not expect the amounts
required to be incurred to have a material  effect on its  financial  condition,
result of operations or liquidity. The costs of the project are immaterial,  and
the date on which  the  Company  believes  it will be  complete  with  Year 2000
modifications  are based on  management's  current  best  estimates,  which were
derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including the continued
availability  of certain  resources,  third-party  modification  plans and other
factors.  However,  there  can be no  guarantee  that  these  estimates  will be
achieved and actual  results  could differ  materially  from those  anticipated.
Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not
limited to, the  availability  and cost of personnel  trained in this area,  the
ability to locate and correct all relevant  computer codes (desktop hardware and
software),  the  availability  of new software and the ability of the  Company's
customers and suppliers to be Year 2000 compliant.
