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, 1997.

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. The
Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 for the year ended
December 31 1997. The income/(loss) per common share for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 have been calculated in accordance with this Standard.

3. LONG TERM DEBT

In September 1997, the Company refinanced its long-term debt with the First
National Bank of New England ("FNB") Two term loans totaling $1,800,000 bearing
interest at prime plus 1.50% (10.0% at December 31, 1997) payable in monthly
installments of $23,791, including interest, due October 1, 2007, were obtained.
Of the proceeds, $593,750 was used to pay off the KeyBank National Association
("Key") long-term debt. Additionally, a $250,000 line of credit bearing interest
at prime plus 1% (9.5% at December 31, 1997) due May 31, 1998 was obtained. No
amounts have been drawn on this line of credit.

These facilities include certain dividend restrictions and are collateralized by
the following: (a) assignment of life insurance owned by the Company on the life
of the current President and Chief Executive Officer; and (b) first priority
security interest in all inventory and all other assets of the Company. All
three facilities are personally guaranteed by the current President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The Company plans to pay off the loan to FNB
simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction with AHI (See below and
"Subsequent Events").

Prior to this refinancing event, promissory notes to TransTechnology Corporation
relating to the acquisition of the assets of Federal Laboratories, was paid in
full with cash from operations.

4. INCOME TAXES

The Company's income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and

5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As disclosed in the Company's 1994 Form 10-KSB, on January 25, 1994 a suit was
filed by Carmeta Gentles on her own behalf and as personal representative of the
estate of Robert Gentles in Ontario Court (General Division), Ontario, Canada,
claiming intentional or negligent manufacture and distribution of the Mark V
Mace(R) brand defense spray unit and that its contents contributed to the
suffering and death of Robert Gentles while in the Kingston Penitentiary in
October 1993. The Company was added as a party defendant on February 8, 1995.
The plaintiff seeks five million dollars in damages. The Company forwarded this
suit to its insurance carrier for defense. Based on discussion with Company's
counsel and insurance carrier, the Company does not anticipate that this claim
will result in the payment of damages in excess of the Company's insurance
coverage.

As disclosed in the Company's Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,
on April 19, 1995 a suit was filed by Elaine Thomlinson, et al., in Ontario
Court (General Division), Ontario, Canada, claiming unspecified damages to
multiple school children for personal injuries, pain and suffering, emotional
trauma and financial loss and expense in consequence of their exposure to
noxious and hazardous substances while participating in a simulated emergency
exercise conducted at a local school by municipal authorities. The Company
forwarded this suit to its insurance carrier for defense. Based on discussion
with Company's counsel and insurance carrier, the Company does not anticipate
that this claim will result in the payment of damages in excess of the Company's
insurance coverage.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As more fully detailed under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations-Subsequent Events, on April 2, 1998, the
Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of the
Law Enforcement division. Accordingly, the operating results of the Law
Enforcement division have been segregated from continuing operations and
reported as a separate line item on the statements of operations.

The Company has restated its March 31, 1997 financial statements to present the
operating results of the Law Enforcement division as a discontinued operation.
The assets of the Company's Law Enforcement division (those assets subject to
sale) have been reflected as net assets of discontinued operations on the
Company's balance sheet at March 31, 1998 and 1997.

The terms of the agreement provide for a sale of the assets of the Company's Law
Enforcement division at the assets' net book value for fixed assets and
intangibles as at December 31, 1997 and, for inventory, at the net book value on
the date of closing. As such, the Company does not anticipate a gain or loss on
the sale of the discontinued operations.

The Company intends to use the proceeds to reduce debt and provide capital for
future expansion and acquisitions.


                                        5

The operating results of the Company's discontinued Law Enforcement division are
as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31           1998           1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales                         $ 1,757,742    $ 1,656,130
     Cost of sales                  1,266,697      1,110,208
                                  -----------    -----------

Net loss                             (183,247)      (268,453)
                                  ===========    ===========

Operating expenses, including general and administrative and selling costs, have
generally been allocated between continuing operations and discontinued
operations consistent with the Company's historical methodology for allocating
such costs.

Certain general and administrative expenses, however, including rent and related
occupancy costs, which were historically allocated to the Law Enforcement
division, will likely continue subsequent to the closing date. Such expenses are
not material.

Interest on borrowings under the Company's long-term debt was allocated to
discontinued operations based on the Company's historical methodology for
allocating such costs.

The estimated cost of severance and benefits of the Law Enforcement division
employees has not been determined, however, such amounts are not expected to be
material.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards. To the extend there is taxable
gain resulting from the sale of the assets of the Law Enforcement division, such
carryforwards are expected to offset any income taxes applicable to the sale.

The components of the net assets of discontinued operations, as included in the
Company's balance sheets at March 31, 1998 and 1997, follow:

March 31/December 31        1998         1997
- ------------------------------------------------

Inventories              $2,557,923   $2,636,526
Property and Equipment    1,531,406    1,721,487

Total net assets         $4,995,077   $5,346,731
                         ==========   ==========

Accounts receivable and all liabilities of the Law Enforcement division will be
retained by the Company and, as such, are not included as net assets of
discontinued operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

The following can be interpreted as including forward looking statements under
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are
typically identified by the words "intends", "plans", "effort", "anticipates",
"believes", "expects", or words of similar import. Various important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward looking statements are identified below and may vary significantly based
on a number of factors including, but not limited to, marketing success, product
development, production, manufacturing costs, competitive conditions and the
change in economic conditions of the various markets the Company serves. Actual
future results may differ materially from those suggested in the following
statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998 of continuing operations only

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, 1998 decreased $13,015 or
2% compared to the same period in 1997. This decrease is principally due to
lower Consumer division sales offset by retail sales of the Company's Mace
Security Centers(TM). Consumer division sales decreased by $211,508 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. Retail
sales from the newly acquired Mace Security Centers(TM) were $148,793 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998.

Gross profit was 46.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to 48.8% for the similar period in 1997. .

Operating expenses were 81.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 31,
1998 as compared to 49.2% for the corresponding period in 1997.

General and administrative expenses increased 45.1% to $335,005 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. This
increase is principally due to $91,791and $27,298 of general and administrative
expenses of Mace Security Centers(TM) and Mace Anti Crime Bureau(TM),
respectively, which did not exist in the same period in 1997. Additionally,
general and administrative expenses of $37,232 were incurred in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 for the launching of the Company's franchising program.

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased 102% to
$210,744 as compared to the same period in 1997. As with general and
administrative expenses the principal reason for the increase was $83,335 of
selling expenses of Mace Security Centers(TM) and Mace Anti Crime Bureau(TM)
which did not exist in the same period in 1997.


Other expense, net was $1,851 and $3,344 for the three month periods ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 respectively.


                                        8
<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Cash decreased by $30,737 during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as a result of
accounts receivable reduction due to a decrease in sales and a decrease in
accrued expenses partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Accounts receivable decreased $387,326 during the three months ended March 31,
1998 principally due to a reduction in net sales from the fourth quarter of 1997
as compared to the first quarter of 1998.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $47,599 during the three
months ended March 31,1998.

In April 1997, the Company's President and the Company's Chairman of the Board
supplied the Company with lines of credit for up to $375,000 each ($750,000 in
total) with interest at prime plus 1.25%. The lines of credit expired in
September 1997. No amounts were drawn on these lines.

In September 1997, the Company refinanced its long-term debt with the First
National Bank of New England ("FNB") Two term loans totaling $1,800,000 bearing
interest at prime plus 1.50% (10.0% at December 31, 1997) payable in monthly
installments of $23,791, including interest, due October 1, 2007, were obtained.
Of the proceeds, $593,750 was used to pay off the Key long-term debt.
Additionally, a $250,000 line of credit bearing interest at prime plus 1% (9.5%
at December 31, 1997) due May 31, 1998 was obtained. No amounts have been drawn
on this line of credit.

These facilities include certain dividend restrictions and are collateralized by
the following: (a) assignment of life insurance owned by the Company on the life
of the current President and Chief Executive Officer; and (b) first priority
security interest in all inventory and all other assets of the Company. All
three facilities are personally guaranteed by the current President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The Company plans to pay off the loan to FNB
simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction with AHI (See below and
"Subsequent Events").

Prior to this refinancing event, promissory notes to TransTechnology Corporation
relating to the acquisition of the assets of Federal Laboratories, was paid in
full with cash from operations.

Item 3. Subsequent Events

On April 2, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") with Armor Holdings, Inc. ("AHI") and its wholly-owned subsidiary
for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company's Law Enforcement
division to AHI (the "Transaction"). The terms of the Purchase Agreement require
that, in conjunction with the sale of assets, the Company license to AHI the use
of Mace(R) and related trademarks and a patent for use by AHI in the Law
Enforcement market only. The sale is subject to, among other things, approval by
holders of a majority of the Company's Common Stock and receipt by the Company
of an opinion that the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view. The
Transaction is expected to close in June 1998.


                                        9
<PAGE>

The Company expects to apply approximately $1,750,000 of the purchase price
received to pay off the amount due to FNB under its term loans. In addition,
$600,000 of the purchase price will be retained by AHI to secure, among other
things, the Company's obligations under the representations and warranties in
the Purchase Agreement. The remainder of the purchase price will be available to
the Company for the purposes deemed to be appropriate by the Company's Board of
Directors. While the Company has no definitive plans, some or all of the
remaining purchase price may be used for acquisitions, among other things. Such
acquisitions may include companies or assets not consistent with the Company's
historical business.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will sell to AHI
all of the fixed assets, intangibles and inventory of the Law Enforcement
division. AHI will also receive a 99-year paid-up license to exploit the Mace(R)
brand and other related trademarks in the law enforcement market only, which is
made up of law enforcement, military, correctional and certain governmental
agencies. The assets of the Law Enforcement division constitute approximately
40% of the Company's assets.

The purchase price for the fixed assets and intangibles, including the license
fee for the 99-year paid-up license, is $3,117,325 representing the book value
as of December 31, 1997 plus an additional amount of $200,000, to cover certain
expenses of the Transaction. The purchase price for inventory is $2,636,325
representing the book value at December 31, 1997 , increased by inventory
purchases since December 31, 1997, valued at the Company's standard cost and
decreased by (i) sales of inventory from December 31, 1997 and (ii) inventory
related to unshipped orders that AHI has not agreed to fill.

The Company will retain its cash and accounts receivable from the Law
Enforcement division. The purchase price will be paid in cash or other
immediately available funds. The Company does not anticipate any material tax
implications resulting from the Transaction. To the extent there is taxable gain
resulting from the Transaction, the Company will utilize its net operating loss
carry forward to cover the taxes, if any, resulting from the sale.
