                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. MANAGEMENT OPINION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements 
contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, 
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and 
cash flows for the periods presented.  The results of any interim period are 
not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  Certain information 
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
condensed or omitted.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 
31, 1995.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share on common stock are computed using the weighted average 
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period presented.

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As previously disclosed on the Company's 1995 Form 10-KSB, on March 22, 1996, 
the Company signed Letters of Intent to acquire all of the outstanding shares 
of capital stock of three separate companies:  Gould & Goodrich Leather, 
Inc., Howard Uniform Company and Balco Uniform Cap Corp.  On May 3, 1996, the 
Company received notice of termination of the Letters of Intent regarding the 
purchase of Howard Uniform Company and Balco Uniform Cap Corp. due to, among 
other things, unsatisfactory results of their due diligence review of Gould & 
Goodrich Leather, Inc., the third of the Company's three acquisition 
candidates.  The purchase by the Company of Howard Uniform Company and Balco 
Uniform Cap Corp. was contingent upon the simultaneous purchase of Gould & 
Goodrich Leather, Inc.  Consequently, on May 9, 1996, the Company terminated 
its Letter of Intent to purchase Gould & Goodrich Leather, Inc.

4. INCOME TAX

The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1995 was 
(5%) as compared to the 11% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 which 
approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


For the three months ended March 31, 1996.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 decreased $887,025 
or 22.8% compared to the same period in 1995.  This decrease is principally 
due to lower Federal Laboratories-Registered Trademark-product line sales, 
partially offset by an increase in consumer division revenues.  The Federal 
Laboratories-Registered Trademark- product line generated sales of $989,480 
in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to $2,257,272 in 1995.  Federal 
Laboratories-Registered Trademark- products are sold to law enforcement and 
military agencies through lengthy bidding processes.  The Company believes 
that the sales decline from the corresponding quarter in 1995 is primarily a 
result of sporadic large orders yielding quarterly fluctuations, rather than 
an overall softness in the market.  For the three months ended March 31, 
1996, consumer division sales increased $362,594 as compared to the 
corresponding period in 1995,  principally due to the addition of two 
national customers, WalMart and AFES.

Gross profit was 46.0% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
as compared to 42.3% for the similar period in 1995.  Strong first quarter 
sales of the higher margin consumer division product line is primarily the 
reason for the increase in gross margin.  This product line represented 52.6% 
of the total net sales and produced a gross margin of 52.2%.

Operating expenses were 42.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 
31, 1996 as compared to 41.6% for the corresponding period in 1995.

General and administrative expenses decreased 22.4% to $639,798 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  This 
decrease is principally due to an aggressive cost cutting program initiated 
in January 1996,  as well as personnel-streamlining. Selling expenses for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased 19.8% to $636,706 as compared to 
the like period in 1995.  Reduced commission expense related to the decline 
in sales is the primary reason for this decrease.  For the three months ended 
March 31, 1996, selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 
21.2% as compared to 20.4% for the same period in 1995.  This increase is 
primarily due to intensive marketing efforts made in California as a direct 
result of a recent change in legislation easing restrictions on the sale of 
less-lethal defense sprays.

Other (income) expense, net was $4,192 and ($7,094) for the three month 
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively.  This expense increase is 
primarily due to the interest expense associated with the term loan signed by 
the Company on December 22, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:


Accounts receivable increased $695,727 during the three months ended March 
31, 1996 principally due to higher sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 
of $3,003,085 as compared to the sales of $2,220,464 for the fourth quarter 
of 1995.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996 cash decreased $382,878.  The use of 
cash is a combination of increased accounts receivable and payments of trade 
accounts payable partially offset by a decrease in inventories.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, accounts payable decreased $131,085 
primarily due to reduced inventory purchases resulting from the Company's 
improved purchasing controls, as well as the aggressive cutting of operating 
expenses.

Inventories decreased $231,286 during the three month period ended March 31, 
1996.  This reduction reflects the use of Federal Laboratories division raw 
material and work in process inventories built during 1995 at the Federal 
Laboratories plant location in Pennsylvania prior to its relocation to 
Vermont.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 were 
$19,763 as compared to $259,871 for the same quarter in 1995.  The major 
component of the 1996 expenditures was the purchase and installation of a new 
manufacturing software package.  Major components of the expenditures made in 
the corresponding quarter in 1995 included facility improvements and new 
equipment required for the relocation of the Federal Laboratories operation 
from Pennsylvania to Vermont.

The Company has a line of credit with a maximum draw of $1,000,000 with 
Vermont National Bank.  The availability of funds which can be borrowed is 
calculated using accounts receivable and inventories as a loan availability 
base.  As of March 31, 1996 no amounts were outstanding on this line.  The 
line expired on April 30, 1996.  The Company is in negotiations for a new 
line of credit.  The Company expects the line of credit will be renewed under 
substantially similar terms.

The Company expects the remaining estimated fiscal year 1996 capital 
expenditures to approximate $300,000, which will include air filtration 
equipment, an indoor testing facility and leasehold improvements.  These 
expenditures are expected to be financed with cash from operations and the 
line of credit once renewed.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Although the Company is not aware of any substantiated claim of permanent 
personal injury from its products, the Company is aware of recent reports of 
incidents in which, for example, defense spray products have been 
mischievously or improperly used, in some case by minors, have not been 
instantly effective or have been ineffective against enraged or intoxicated 
individuals.  Incidents of this type, or others, could give rise to product 
liability or other claims; or to claims that past or future advertising, 
packaging or other practices should be, or should have been, modified, or 
that regulation of products of this nature should be extended or changed.
