                        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, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 June 30,
      1998) payable in monthly installments of $23,791, including interest,
      due October 1, 2007, were obtained. Additionally, a $250,000 line of
      credit bearing interest at prime plus 1% was obtained. No amounts were
      drawn on this line of credit. The Company paid off the loans to FNB
      simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Law Enforcement
      division (the "Transaction") on July 14, 1998 to Armor Holdings, Inc.
      and its wholly-owned subsidiary ("AHI") (See below "Management's
      Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
      Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources")

4.    INCOME TAXES

      The Company's income tax expense for the three and nine months ended
      September 30, 1998 represents corporate franchise taxes.

5.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Company is not aware of any commitments or contingencies that would
      require disclosure.

6.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      Law Enforcement Division 

      As more fully detailed under "Management's Discussion and Analysis
      of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Description of
      Dispositions", the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its
      Law Enforcement division on July 14, 1998. Accordingly, the operating
      results of its Law Enforcement division have been segregated from
      continuing operations and reported as a separate line item on the
      statements of operations entitled "Income (loss) from discontinued
      operations" and entitled "Net assets of discontinued operations" on
      the Balance Sheets.



                                                     4

      As a result of the AHI Transaction the Company was required to restate
      its financial statements to reflect this Transaction as if it happened
      on the earliest date reported.

      Other Items

      In the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company discontinued
      operations of its two wholly owned subsidiaries, MSP, Inc. a
      distributor of consumer products and MSP Retail, Inc., a subsidiary
      formed to operate the Mace Security Centers(TM) retail stores that were
      located in Colorado. Both subsidiaries were formed to acquire assets of
      established companies. The contracts for the acquisition of the assets
      of both subsidiaries allowed the Company to unwind the transactions in
      the event the subsidiaries (that were operated by the former owners of
      the assets sold to the Company) failed to achieve certain pretax profit
      goals within the one year following the acquisition by the Company.
      Both subsidiaries failed to meet the established goals.

      In both cases the shares of MSI that were delivered in escrow as a
      portion of the purchase price for the assets were returned to MSI
      (80,000 shares for MSP. Inc. and 176,666 shares for MSP Retail, Inc.)
      In addition, both contracts called for the repayment to MSI of working
      capital loaned to the subsidiaries by MSI, reduced by losses incurred
      by the subsidiaries during the one year period. As a result of
      unwinding these transactions the Company incurred a loss of $67,013
      with respect to MSP, Inc. and $47,317 with respect to MSP Retail, Inc.
      (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
      Results of Operations")

      The Company has reviewed the book value of its Mace (R) trademark in
      light of the sale to AHI. The Transaction with AHI included a license
      allowing only AHI to use the Mace (R) trademark in the Law Enforcement
      market. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that the future use of the
      Mace (R) trademark has significantly changed. Following the provisions of
      Financial Accounting Statement No. 121, the Company has determined that
      the present value of future cash flows for the Mace (R) trademark outside
      the Law Enforcement market is approximately $850,000. The Company took
      a charge of $550,000 to reduce the book value of the Mace (R) trademark
      to the $850,000 level. The Company charged the $550,000 to Discontinued
      Operations as the sale to AHI triggered the significant change in the
      use of the mark.

      The operating results of the Company's discontinued operations are as
      follows:

      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 between its Consumer and Law
      Enforcement divisions.

      On June 30, 1998 the Company established a reserve of $300,000 to cover
      one-time charges associated with the disposition of the Law Enforcement
      division. The primary components of the reserve are severance pay,
      legal, accounting and other professional fees and environmental clean
      up and disposal 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.

      The Company has net operating loss carryforwards. To the extent 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 September 30, 1998 and
      December 31,1997, follow:

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 expressed below and may
vary significantly based on a number of factors including, but not limited
to, the ability of the Company to identify acquisition candidates. Actual
future results may differ materially from those suggested in the following
statements.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

   Results of Continuing Operations

Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998
increased by 4% and 1% over the identical periods in 1997. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1998 Consumer division sales increased
$1,517, and decreased by $375,088, respectfully. The decrease of consumer
sales of $375,088 was offset by $368,495 of retail sales of the Company's
Mace Security Centers(TM) which did not exist in the same periods in 1997.

Gross profit was 48.3% and 48.4% of net sales respectively for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 48.5% and 49.2%
for the same periods in 1997.

Operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1998 were 63.6% and 69% of net sales as compared to 53.7% and 45.2% for the
corresponding periods in 1997.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 increased by $106,380 and $341,997, respectively, over the
same periods in 1997. These increases were principally due to $160,774 and
$250,302 of general and administrative expenses attributable to Mace Security
Centers(TM) retail stores, MSP, Inc. and the franchising corporation, MSC, Inc.
which did not exist in the same periods in 1997.

Selling expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
decreased by $20,176 and increased by $156,929 over the same periods in 1997.
As with general and administrative expenses, the principal reason for the
increase in selling expenses for the nine month period ended September 30,
1998 was $148,956 of selling expenses related to Mace Security Centers(TM)
retail stores, MSP, Inc. and the franchising corporation, MSC, Inc. which
did not exist in the same periods in 1997.

Other income, net was $97,067 for the three month period ended September 30,
1998, reflecting reduced interest expense and increased rentals over the same
period in 1997.

   Description of Dispositions

On July 14, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of
the Company's Law Enforcement division (the "Transaction") to Armor Holdings,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary ("AHI"). The terms of the purchase
agreement required 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to AHI all
of the fixed assets, intangibles and inventory of the Law Enforcement
division. AHI received 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 constituted
approximately 40% of the Company's assets.



                                                     7

The purchase price for the fixed assets and intangibles, including the
license fee for the 99-year paid-up license, was $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
was $1,868,416, representing the book value at July 14, 1998.

The Company retained its cash and accounts receivable from the Law
Enforcement division. The Company does not expect 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.

In the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company discontinued
operations of its two wholly owned subsidiaries, MSP, Inc. a distributor of
consumer products and MSP Retail, Inc., a subsidiary formed to operate Mace
Security Centers(TM) retail stores that were located in Colorado. Both
subsidiaries were formed to acquire assets of established companies. The
contracts for the acquisition of the assets of both subsidiaries allowed the
Company to unwind the transactions in the event the subsidiaries (that were
operated by the former owners of the assets sold to the Company) failed to
achieve certain pretax profit goals within the one year following the
acquisition by the Company. Both subsidiaries failed to meet the established
goals.

In both cases the shares of MSI that were delivered in escrow as a portion of
the purchase price for the assets were returned to MSI (80,000 shares for
MSP. Inc. and 176,666 shares for MSP Retail, Inc.) In addition, both
contracts called for the repayment to MSI of working capital loaned to the
subsidiaries by MSI, reduced by losses incurred by the subsidiaries during
the one year period. As a result of unwinding these transactions the Company
incurred a loss of $67,013 with respect to MSP, Inc. and $47,317 with respect
to MSP Retail, Inc.

The Company has reviewed the book value of its Mace (R) trademark in light of
the sale to AHI. The Transaction with AHI included a license allowing only
AHI to use the Mace (R) trademark in the Law Enforcement market. Accordingly,
the Company has concluded that the future use of the Mace (R) trademark has
significantly changed. Following the provisions of Financial Accounting
Statement No. 121, the Company has determined that the present value of
future cash flows for the Mace (R) trademark outside the Law Enforcement
market is $850,000. The Company took a charge of $550,000 to reduce the book
value of the Mace trademark to the $850,000 level. The Company charged the
$550,000 to Discontinued Operations as the sale to AHI triggered the
significant change in the use of the mark.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Cash increased by $3,115,093 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998
principally due to the sale of the law enforcement division to AHI.

Accounts receivable decreased $296,498 from December 31, 1997 to September
30, 1998 as a result of decreases in sales due primarily to the sale of the
law enforcement division to AHI.

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 June 30, 1998) payable in
monthly installments of $23,791, including interest, due October 1, 2007,
were obtained. Additionally, a $250,000 line of credit bearing interest at
prime plus 1% was obtained. No amounts were drawn on this line of credit.
The Company paid off the loans to FNB simultaneously with the closing of the
Transaction with AHI.



                                                     8



<PAGE>



The Company applied $1,724,725 of the purchase price received from the
Transaction to pay off the amount due to FNB under its term loans (See Note 3
to "Notes to Financial Statements"). In addition, $600,000 of the purchase
price was retained by AHI in an interest bearing escrow account to secure,
among other things, the Company's obligations under the representations and
warranties in the Purchase Agreement. The escrowed amount is included in the
cash section of the balance sheet of the Company at September 30, 1998. The
remainder of the purchase price is 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.


FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

The Company is continuing to consider all opportunities to maximize
shareholder value, including but not limited to, potential acquisitions or
dispositions, strategic alliances, stock issuances and/or restructuring
management.
