             SAFETY COMPONENTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1  Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Safety Components International, Inc. and subsidiaries ("SCI" or the "Company"),
without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally
included  in  financial   statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting
principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  of  America  have  been
condensed  or  omitted  from this  report,  as is  permitted  by such  rules and
regulations; however, SCI believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information  presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these  consolidated
financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with  the  audited  consolidated
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended  March 25,  2000.  The Company  has  experienced,  and expects to
continue to experience,  variability in net sales and net income from quarter to
quarter.  Therefore, the results of the interim periods presented herein are not
necessarily  indicative  of the  results to be  expected  for any other  interim
period or the full year. In the opinion of management, the information furnished
reflects all  adjustments  necessary for a fair  presentation of the results for
the  reported  interim  periods.  These  adjustments  include  those of a normal
recurring nature,  reclassifications  of prior period amounts for the effects of
discontinuing  non-automotive  operations  and  adjustments  resulting  from the
adoption of "fresh start" accounting as discussed below.

     As  discussed  in Note 2, on April 10,  2000  (the  "Petition  Date"),  the
Company and certain of its U.S subsidiaries  (including Safety Components Fabric
Technologies,  Inc. and Automotive  Safety Components  International,  Inc., but
excluding  Valentec  Wells LLC (fka Valentec  International  Corporation,  LLC),
Valentec Systems Inc. and Galion, Inc., (collectively,  "Safety Filing Group")),
filed a voluntary  petition  under Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code ("Chapter
11") with the United States  Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (Case
Nos. 00-1644(JJF) through 00-1650(JJF)).

     On October 11, 2000, the Company emerged from Chapter 11. Accordingly,  the
Company's  financial  statements  as of October 10,  2000 have been  prepared in
accordance with Statement of Position 90-7,  "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization  Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"),  issued by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  Under  SOP 90-7,  the  Company's
financial information for the periods on or prior to October 10, 2000 are termed
"Predecessor Company" and financial information  subsequent to October 10, 2000,
including the interim balance sheet presented  herein,  are termed  "Reorganized
Company" and give effect to the  application  of "fresh start"  accounting.  See
further  discussion  of the  effect  of SOP 90-7 on the  Company's  consolidated
financial statements at Note 3 herein.

     The  accompanying  statements of operations  reflect certain  restructuring
fees and expenses  including  professional fees and expenses directly related to
the debt  restructuring  and  reorganization.  Interest expense on the Company's
senior  subordinated notes has been reported to the Petition Date. Such interest
expense was not reported  subsequent to that date because it was not required to
be paid during the  bankruptcy  case and was not an allowed claim under the Plan
of  Reorganization.  The difference between reported interest expense and stated
contractual  interest expense is approximately $4.7 million for the twenty-eight
weeks ended October 10, 2000.

Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts for Discontinued Operations

     As  discussed  in Note 4,  effective  as of October 10,  2000,  the Company
concluded to sell its non-core (metal and defense) operations.  Accordingly, all
prior period amounts have been reclassified so that


                                       7

             SAFETY COMPONENTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


the net assets of the non-core  metal and defense  businesses  are  presented as
"net assets held for sale" in the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets and
the  operating  results  of the  non-core  businesses  have  been  presented  as
"discontinued   operations"  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of
operations.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

     Subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated  financial statements of SCI
for the fiscal  years  ended  March 27,  1999 and March 28,  1998,  the  Company
determined  that the  reported  results  for those  years  were  misstated.  The
Company's  audit  committee with the  assistance of  independent  counsel and an
independent  public  accounting  firm  conducted  a thorough  investigation  and
determined  that a restatement of the Company's  financial  statements  would be
required  for each of the fiscal  years 1999 and 1998 and the  twenty-six  weeks
ended  September  25, 1999, as well as applicable  quarterly  periods  contained
within such years and twenty-six  week period.  The nature of the restatement is
discussed  more fully in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  March 25,
2000.

     The  restatement  adjustments  impacting net income (there was no effect on
net sales) for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six  weeks ended September 25, 1999
are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Note 2  Financial Restructuring and Chapter 11 Case

     The deterioration in the Company's  financial condition that became evident
in fiscal 1999, arising from a confluence of negative developments, particularly
in  the  non-core  businesses,   caused  it  to  experience  material  liquidity
constraints in fiscal 2000. In addition,  following the Company's restatement of
its  earnings  and a default  with  respect  to  obligations  under  its  credit
agreement (the "KeyBank Credit  Agreement"),  KeyBank National  Association,  as
administrative  agent,  and Fleet  Bank  (collectively,  the  "Senior  Lenders")
notified the trustee for the  Company's 10 1/8% senior  subordinated  notes (the
"Notes") that they were  exercising  their rights to block a scheduled  interest
payment due on the Notes on January 18, 2000.

     On February 18, 2000, the common stock of the Company was delisted from the
NASDAQ stock market.

     The  Company  and an  informal  committee  comprised  of  holders  of  over
two-thirds  in aggregate  dollar amount of the Notes began  negotiations  and in
early  April  2000  reached  an  agreement  (as  amended,   the   "Restructuring
Agreement")  that would be effected through a voluntary filing under Chapter 11.
Pursuant  to the  Restructuring  Agreement,  the  claims of the  holders  of the
Company's Notes  ("Noteholders")  were to be converted into the right to receive
4,840,774 shares of the Company's post bankruptcy common


                                       8

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


stock  when the  Company  emerged  from  Chapter  11  (4,816,574  shares  to the
Noteholders and 24,200 shares to the financial advisors of the Noteholders). The
shareholders,  excluding  Robert Zummo,  the  Company's  then Chairman and Chief
Executive  Officer,  were  to  receive  159,226  shares  of the  Company's  post
bankruptcy  common stock and warrants to acquire an  additional  681,818 of such
common  stock.  In addition to the  Restructuring  Agreement,  the Company  also
reached an agreement  with the Senior Lenders  subject to a paydown,  to replace
the   KeyBank    Credit    Agreement   with   a    post-petition    subordinated
debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing facility.

     On the Petition  Date,  the Safety Filing Group filed a voluntary  petition
under  Chapter 11 with the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court for the District of
Delaware (Case Nos. 00-1644(JJF) through 00-1650(JJF)).  The Chapter 11 cases of
the Safety Filing Group were assigned to the United  States  District  Court for
the District of Delaware (the "Court") before District Judge Farnan.

     On April 26, 2000,  the Safety Filing Group  received  Court  approval of a
$30.6 million  senior DIP  financing  facility that it had executed with Bank of
America,  N.A. The senior DIP financing was expected to provide adequate funding
for all post-petition trade and employee obligations, the partial paydown of the
pre-petition  secured debt, as well as the Company's  operating needs during the
restructuring  process.  In  conjunction  with the  closing  of the  senior  DIP
financing  facility  on May 9, 2000,  the Senior  Lenders  received a  principal
paydown of  approximately  $17 million and retained the remaining  approximately
$20.9 million portion of their  indebtedness  as an 11% per annum  post-petition
subordinated  DIP  facility  as  a  replacement  of  their  pre-petition  credit
facility.

     On May 19, 2000,  the Safety  Filing Group filed its Statement of Financial
Affairs and Schedules of Assets and Liabilities  and, on May 24, 2000, the Court
entered  an order  setting  July 7,  2000 as the  general  filing  deadline  for
creditors to file their proof of claims.

     On June 12,  2000,  the Safety  Filing  Group filed with the United  States
Bankruptcy Court its Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "First Plan") pursuant to
Rule 3016 (b), and the related disclosure  statement pursuant to Section 1125 of
the  Bankruptcy  Code.  The First Plan (as amended,  the "Plan") and the related
disclosure  statement (as amended,  the "Disclosure  Statement") were amended on
July 18,  2000 and July 19,  2000.  On July 19,  2000,  the Court  approved  the
Disclosure   Statement  and  set  August  30,  2000  as  the  date  to  consider
confirmation of the Plan. The Court also set August 25, 2000 as the deadline for
creditors  and equity  holders  to vote to accept or reject  the Plan.  The Plan
provided for the  implementation of a debt to equity conversion of the claims of
the Noteholders as set forth in the Restructuring Agreement. Under the Plan, new
shares of common and preferred  stock would be  authorized  and new common stock
would be issued.  All Noteholder claims in the aggregate amount of approximately
$96.8  million  (including  accrued  interest  to the  Petition  Date)  would be
completely   satisfied  through  the  ratably   proportionate   distribution  of
approximately  4,840,000  shares of the new common  stock  (subject  to dilution
through the  exercise  of  warrants  or other  stock as may be issued  under the
Plan).  The holders of all other  unsecured  claims would receive a time-phased,
payout  of 100% of the  principal  amount  of their  allowed  pre-Petition  Date
unsecured claims.

     On August 31,  2000,  the Court  entered an order  approving  the Plan.  On
August 31,  2000,  the Court also  entered  an order  approving  the sale by the
Company of its wholly owned subsidiary  Valentec  Systems,  Inc.  ("Systems") to
VTECH  Corporation  for  approximately  $2.9  million  in  cash.  Such  sale was
consummated  effective  as of the close of business on August 31, 2000 (see Note
1).

     On October 11, 2000 (the "Emergence Date"), the Safety Filing Group emerged
from Chapter 11

pursuant to the Plan confirmed by the Court. Pursuant to the Plan, as confirmed,
upon emergence all of the Company's  10-1/8% senior notes due 2007 (an aggregate
of approximately $96.8 million, including accrued interest to the Petition Date)
were  converted into 4,840,774  shares of the Company's  post-bankruptcy  common
stock, and the pre-bankruptcy common stock, excluding stock held by Robert Zummo
(former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company), was converted into
159,226  shares of the  Company's  post-bankruptcy  common stock and warrants to
acquire an  additional  681,818  shares of such common stock.  Immediately  upon
emergence,  the  Company  had  5,000,000  shares  of  common  stock  issued  and
outstanding  and,  other  than the  warrants,  no shares of  common  stock  were
reserved for issuance in respect of claims and interests filed and allowed under
the Plan. In addition,  Safety  Components'  trade suppliers and other creditors
will be paid in full,  pursuant to the terms of the Plan,  within 90 days of the
Emergence Date.

     The Company's Board of Directors, in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
currently  consists of the following  new,  non-employee  directors:  Carroll R.
Wetzel,  Jr. (Chairman),  Andy Goldfarb,  W. Allan Hopkins and Ben E. Waide III.
John C. Corey  continues as an employee member of the Board of Directors and has
been promoted to Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.

Note 3  Fresh Start Reporting

     With a fifty-three week fiscal year in 2001, the second quarter was to have
ended September 30, 2000. However,  for convenience purposes and to finalize all
accounting  for the  reorganization  in the second  quarter  (so that all future
periods  reflect the  Reorganized  Company under the principles of "fresh start"
accounting),  the  Company  extended  the second  quarter of fiscal year 2001 to
October  10,  2000  which  resulted  in an  additional  seven  business  days of
financial  information  reported.  Management believes that the additional seven
days of operating  results did not have a material  effect on the  Company's net
sales,  operating  profit or net income for the quarter  ended October 10, 2000,
and further believes that this presentation will be more meaningful.

     As previously discussed, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
reflect the use of "fresh  start"  reporting  at October 10, 2000 as required by
SOP 90-7.  Under "fresh  start"  reporting at October 10,  2000,  the  Company's
assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair values and resulted in the creation
of a new reporting entity (the "Company" or the  "Reorganized  Company") with no
accumulated  deficit as of  October  10,  2000.  Accordingly,  the  consolidated
financial  statements  for periods  prior to October 10, 2000 (the  "Predecessor
Company")  will not be  comparable  to  consolidated  financial  statements  for
periods  presented  subsequent  to October 10,  2000.  In  conjunction  with the
revaluation of the assets and liabilities, a reorganization value for the entity
was  determined  based upon the  approximate  fair  value of the  entity  before
considering debt requirements. Under "fresh start" reporting, the reorganization
value of the entity is  allocated to the entity's  assets and  liabilities.  The
portion of the  reorganization  value  which  cannot be  attributed  to specific
tangible or identified  intangible assets of the Reorganized Company is reported
as "reorganization  value in excess of amount allocable to identifiable  assets"
("Excess Reorganization Value").

     The total  reorganization  value  assigned to the  Company's net assets was
determined  by  independent  valuation,   using  the  going-concern   enterprise
approach. The comparable-company multiple and discounted cash-flow methodologies
were used to arrive at the going-concern  value of the Company.  These valuation
techniques  reflect both the market's  current views of the  Company's  value as
well as a longer-term  focus on the intrinsic  value of the Company's  cash flow
projections. The valuation multiples


                                       10
<PAGE>


             SAFETY COMPONENTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


and  discount  rates  used in the  valuation  were  based on the  public  market
valuation  of selected  public  companies  deemed  generally  comparable  to the
operating  business of the  Company.  The  valuation  also took into account the
following factors, not listed in order of importance:

     a)   The Company's valuation, as reorganized, on a going-concern basis.
     b)   The Company's emergence from Chapter 11, pursuant to the Plan as filed
          with the Court.
     c)   The Company's ability to obtain all future required financing and that
          no asset would be sold for liquidity purposes.
     d)   The estimated tax attributes of the Company.
     e)   The  general  financial  and  market  conditions  as of  the  date  of
          consummation of the Plan.

     The  above  valuation  resulted  in  an  estimated   reorganization   value
attributable  to the common stock of  approximately  $51.0  million.  The Excess
Reorganization Value of approximately $15.8 million was determined as the excess
of the reorganization value over the fair value of the net assets acquired.  The
Company believes that the determination of its fair values, based on independent
appraisals and other means, is  substantially  complete,  however,  estimates of
certain  liabilities  are based on  preliminary  information  and are subject to
revision as information is finalized. Management does not believe, however, that
the  finalization  of the fair values will have a  significant  effect on Excess
Reorganization  Value or the future  results of  operations  of the  Reorganized
Company. Such Excess Reorganization Value will be amortized over twenty years.

     The results of operations in the  accompanying  consolidated  statements of
operations  for the fifteen week period and the  twenty-eight  week period ended
October 10, 2000 reflect the  operations  prior to the Company's  emergence from
bankruptcy and the effects of fresh start reporting adjustments. In this regard,
the  consolidated  statements  of  operations  for the  fifteen  weeks ended and
twenty-eight weeks ended October 10, 2000 reflect an extraordinary gain of $29.9
million,   net  of  tax  of  $17.5  related  to  the  discharge  of  the  Notes.
Additionally, the consolidated statements of operations reflect $37.7 million of
reorganization  items for the  fifteen  week period  ended  October 10, 2000 and
$41.7  million  for  the  twenty-eight  week  period  ended  October  10,  2000,
consisting  primarily of gains and losses  related to the  adjustments of assets
and liabilities to fair value.

Note 4  Discontinued Operations

     As  previously  reported,  the Company has been  evaluating  its  strategic
alternatives with respect to its non-core (metal and defense)  businesses with a
view to enhancing the Company's  focus on the core  (automotive)  business.  The
Company has concluded that the value of its metal and defense  businesses can be
enhanced  if  suitable,  strategic  buyers  in  similar  industries  are  found.
Therefore,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  concluded  to sell its non-core
business within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company has intensified
its  efforts to find  strategic  buyers  for its  non-core  businesses  and will
continue to fully  support  its  non-core  business  and  customers  in order to
preserve  and  potentially  enhance  value.  As a result

             SAFETY COMPONENTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


of  this  decision,   the  Company  has  reported  its  non-core  operations  as
discontinued  operations in the accompanying  consolidated financial statements.
The non-core  operations  consist of the metal  division  located in  California
(Valentec Wells, LLC) and the defense systems and products  divisions located in
New Jersey  (Valentec  Systems,  Inc.) and Ohio  (Galion,  Inc.),  respectively.
Accordingly,  the Company  reported the results of  operations  of the metal and
defense businesses in the loss on discontinued  operations which for the fifteen
weeks ended  October 10, 2000 totaled  $1,122,000,  net of income tax benefit of
$847,000  and which for the  twenty-eight  weeks ended  October 10, 2000 totaled
$1,440,000,  net of income tax benefit of $847,000.  Amounts in the consolidated
financial  statements  and related  notes for all prior  periods shown have been
reclassed to reflect these non-core businesses as discontinued  operations.  For
the fifteen weeks and twenty-eight weeks ended October 10, 2000, the Company has
recorded $214,000,  net of income taxes of $125,000,  for the net estimated gain
on the  disposition of the non-core  businesses,  including the realized gain on
the sale of Valentec Systems, Inc. discussed below.

     On August 31, 2000,  the Company  finalized  the sale of Valentec  Systems,
Inc,  ("Systems"),  a systems  integrator  with the U.S. Army  coordinating  the
manufacture and assembly components supplied by various  subcontractors and part
of the Company's  non-core  operations.  Pursuant to a Stock Purchase  Agreement
dated July 21, 2000  between the  Company,  Systems and VTECH  Corporation,  the
Company sold 100% of the shares of capital stock of Systems to VTECH Corporation
for approximately $2.9 million in cash. At March 25, 2000, the carrying value of
the net assets of Systems was $2.8 million and was included in the net assets of
discontinued operations in the accompanying  consolidated balance sheet. Systems
accounted  for $1.5  million or 2.5% of  consolidated  net sales for the fifteen
weeks ended October 10, 2000 and $3.9 million or 3.2% of consolidated  net sales
for the twenty-eight weeks ended October 10, 2000. Systems had accounted for net
sales of $9.7 million or 8.3% of consolidated net sales for the twenty-six weeks
ended  September 25, 1999 and net sales of $16.4 million or 7.2% of consolidated
net sales for fiscal 2000.  The sale of Systems  resulted in a $1.2 million gain
which  was  included  in  the  disposition  of  discontinued  operations  in the
accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  statements of operations  for the fifteen
weeks and twenty-eight weeks ended October 10, 2000.

     Following is a summary financial information for the Company's discontinued
metal and defense operations (unaudited) (in thousands):

     The  gain  on  disposition,  net of  income  taxes  of  $125,000,  includes
estimated  operating  profits  from  the  measurement  date  to the  anticipated
disposal dates offset by the realized gain on sale of Systems of $1.2 million as
discussed  above.  This is offset,  however,  by estimated  plant  restructuring
expenses,  interest  costs and  professional  fees and  expenses  related to the
disposition of these divisions.

     Inventories and property, plant and equipment of the Reorganized Company at
October  10, 2000 have been  revalued to their fair value  pursuant to SOP 90-7.
See Note 3 for further explanation of the fresh start adjustments.

     Depreciation  is  calculated  using  the  straight-line   method  over  the
estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the underlying lease.
Due to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment on October 10, 2000, the
Company will change the estimated useful lives beginning in the third quarter of
fiscal 2001.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     On April 26, 2000,  the Safety Filing Group  received  Court  approval of a
$30.6 million  senior DIP financing  facility that it had entered into with Bank
of America,  N.A.  The senior DIP  financing  was  expected to provide  adequate
funding  for all  post-petition  trade and  employee  obligations,  the  partial
paydown of the  pre-petition  secured debt and the Company's  ongoing  operating
needs during the restructuring  process.  In conjunction with the closing of the
senior DIP  financing  facility on May 9, 2000,  the Senior  Lenders  received a
principal  paydown of  approximately  $17 million  and  retained  the  remaining
approximately  $20.9 million  portion of their  indebtedness as an 11% per annum
post-petition  subordinated DIP facility as a replacement of their  pre-petition
credit  facility.  The  post-petition  senior and  subordinated  DIP  facilities
required  the  Company to meet  certain  crossover  financial  covenants.  These
covenants  included a minimum  quarterly  EBITDA (as  defined)  and Fixed Charge
Coverage  Ratio  (as  defined)  and  a  minimum  monthly  EBITDA  (as  defined).
Additionally,  the DIP facilities  contained certain restrictive  covenants that
imposed  limitations  upon, among other things,  the Company's ability to borrow
monies;  become  or  remain  liable  with  respect  to  any  guaranty;   acquire
investments;  make  capital  expenditures;  declare or make  dividends  or other
distributions;  merge, consolidate or dispose of assets; incur liens; enter into
capitalized  lease  and  operating  lease  agreements  and  engage  in sale  and
lease-back transactions. For the quarter ended October 10, 2000 (and all related
months  thereof),   the  Company  was  in  compliance  with  all  financial  and
non-financial covenants.

     See the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended March 25, 2000 for further
discussion on the various debt instruments noted above.

     In addition,  see Note 12, "Subsequent  Events",  for discussion  regarding
exit  financing  arrangements  to provide for a revolving  credit  facility (and
repay the Bank of America DIP  financing)  and replace the KeyBank  Subordinated
DIP term note with the new Subordinated Secured Note with KeyBank.

Note 7  Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)

     Options  on  approximately  1,284,000  shares of common  stock and  124,000
warrants  were not  included in  computing  diluted  earnings  per share for the
fifteen weeks and  twenty-eight  weeks ended October 10, 2000 and thirteen weeks
and  twenty-six  weeks ended  September  25, 1999,  respectively,  because their
effects were antidilutive.

     Pursuant to the Restructuring  Agreement discussed in Note 2, the claims of
the Noteholders were converted into the right to receive 4,840,774 shares of the
Company's  common  stock  on  the  Emergence  Date  (4,816,574   shares  to  the
Noteholders and 24,200 shares to the financial advisors of the Noteholders). The
current shareholders,  excluding Robert Zummo, the Company's former Chairman and
Chief   Executive   Officer,   received   159,226   shares   of  the   Company's
post-bankruptcy common stock (aggregate 5,000,000 shares issued and outstanding)
and warrants to acquire an additional 681,818 shares of such common stock on the
Emergence  Date.  All other options and warrants were cancelled on the Emergence
Date.

     The warrants that were granted pursuant to the  Restructuring  Agreement to
purchase  681,818 shares of the Company's common stock have an exercise price of
$19.99 per share and  expire on or before  April 10,  2003.  The  warrants  were
assigned an estimated fair value, based on the Black-Scholes  model, of $34,000.
Since the strike  price of the warrants is in excess of their fair value at date
of grant, no compensation expense was recognized on the warrants.

Note 8  Comprehensive Income (in thousands)

     SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income",  requires  disclosure of
comprehensive  income (loss),  defined as the total of net income (loss) and all
other non-owner changes in equity,  which under accounting  principles generally
accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America,  are  recorded  directly  to the
stockholders'  equity section of the consolidated  balance sheet and,  therefore
bypass net income (loss). In the Company's case, the non-owner changes in equity
relate  solely to the foreign  currency  translation  adjustment.  Comprehensive
income (loss) for the Predecessor Company is as follows:

     At October  10,  2000,  all  intercompany  loans were  translated  at their
current  translation  rates  and,   accordingly,   the  cumulative   translation
adjustment within the stockholders'  equity section of the consolidated  balance
sheet is zero.

Note 9  Income Taxes

     At October 10, 2000,  the Company  estimates  it had regular net  operating
loss ("NOL")  carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $13 million.  Such
NOL carryforwards were substantially  reduced, by approximately $39 million, due
to the  cancellation  of  indebtedness  ("COD") in connection with the Company's
reorganization  under  Chapter  11. COD is the amount by which the  indebtedness
discharged  (approximately  $96.8 million)  exceeds any  consideration  given in
exchange (approximately $49 million in equity value) therefor. The remaining COD
income was offset against the tax basis of depreciable assets.

     In  addition,  the  remaining  NOL  carryforwards  and  certain  other  tax
attributes are subject to the limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Such limitations apply on certain changes in ownership,  including
changes such as those occurring under the Plan. The effect of these  limitations
is to limit the utilization of the net operating loss  carryforwards and certain
built-in losses to an amount equal to the value of the Company multiplied by the
Federal   long-term   tax  exempt  rate   (yielding  an  annual   limitation  of
approximately  $2.7  million).  Even  before  giving  effect to the  limitations
occurring  under  the  Plan,  due  to the  Company's  operating  history,  it is
uncertain  that the  Company  will be able to utilize all  deferred  tax assets.
Therefore, a valuation allowance in the amount of $1.0 million has been provided
equal to the  deferred tax assets  remaining  after  deducting  all deferred tax
liabilities.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


in a class action  litigation  commenced by  shareholders  of the Company in the
United  States  District  Court for the District of New Jersey.  Eight  separate
lawsuits were filed,  alleging  violations of the federal  securities  laws, and
were  consolidated  into one  action.  The  parties  executed  a  Memorandum  of
Understanding to settle the consolidated class action litigation for $4 million.
The principal  terms of the  settlement  were approved by the Court on September
11, 2000. The Company expects that its directors and officers  insurance carrier
will, subject to Court approval, satisfy the settlement obligations.  Management
does not presently  believe that a resolution  consistent with the Memorandum of
Understanding would have a material effect on the financial statements.

Note 11  Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
Hedging  Activities",  effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2000. This
new  standard  requires  recognition  of  all  derivatives,   including  certain
derivative  instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts,  as  either  assets  or
liabilities  in the  statement of financial  position and  measurement  of those
instruments  at fair  value.  The  Company is in the  process of  reviewing  the
effect, if any, that SFAS 133 will have on the Company's  consolidated financial
statements and disclosures.

Note 12  Subsequent Events

     In connection with its emergence from Chapter 11, the Company announced the
closing on  October  11,  2000 of a  three-year  $35  million  revolving  credit
facility  with  Congress  Financial  Corporation   (Southern),   (the  "Congress
Facility"),  expiring  October 11, 2003.  The Congress  Facility has allowed the
Company  to pay off its  debtor-in-possession  credit  facilities  with  Bank of
America and is expected to provide  adequate  funding for the Company's  ongoing
global operating needs. In addition to the Congress  Facility,  the Company also
closed on October 11, 2000 a two-year  subordinated  secured note  facility with
the Senior Lenders for $20.9 million (the "Subordinated Facility"),  expiring on
October 11,  2002.  If the  Congress  Facility  had been in place on October 10,
2000, the Company's availability for additional borrowings would have been $12.2
million at that time.

     Under the Congress Facility,  the Company may borrow the maximum of (a) $35
million  or (b)  85% of  eligible  accounts  receivable,  plus  60% of  eligible
finished goods, plus 50% of raw materials.  Included within borrowings permitted
under the Congress  Facility are $7.6 million in term loans which will be repaid
in equal  monthly  installments  of  approximately  $127,000,  with  the  unpaid
principal  amount due on October  11,  2003,  unless the  Congress  Facility  is
renewed  at that time.  Also  included  within  borrowings  permitted  under the
Congress Facility is a $3 million letter of credit facility.

     The interest  rate on the Congress  Facility is variable,  depending on the
amount of the Company's Excess  Availability (as defined) at any particular time
and the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined).  Excess Availability
is calculated  as the lesser of the borrowing  base of the Company or the amount
equal  to the  $35  million  less  the  amount  of all  outstanding  and  unpaid
obligations  of the Company plus the aggregate  amount of all trade payables and
other obligations of the Company which are more than sixty days past due. On the
Emergence  Date,  the  margin  on prime  rate  loans  was 0% and the  margin  on
Eurodollar rate loans was 2%. The interest rate on the Subordinated  Facility is
fixed at 11%.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The  Congress  Facility  and the  Subordinated  Facility  both  require the
Company to meet a minimum adjusted net worth (as defined) covenant. In addition,
the Subordinated  Facility provides for mandatory  prepayments in the event that
the Company's  Consolidated EBITDA (as defined) exceeds certain specified levels
following the Emergence Date.  Additionally,  both the Congress Facility and the
Subordinated   Facility  contain  certain  restrictive   covenants  that  impose
limitations  upon,  among other things,  the Company's  ability to borrow monies
under the Congress  Facility;  incur indebtedness  (including  capitalized lease
arrangements); become or remain liable with respect to any guaranty; make loans;
acquire investments; declare or make dividends (no dividends are permitted to be
repaid to holders of the Company's common stock) or other distributions;  merge,
consolidate,  liquidate or dispose of assets or indebtedness; incur liens; issue
capital stock; or change its business.  Substantially  all assets of the Company
are pledged as collateral for the borrowings under the Congress Facility and the
Subordinated Facility.

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


Results of Operations

     Results of operations for the second quarter and for the twenty-eight weeks
ended October 10, 2000 includes an  additional  five and seven  business days of
operations as a result of the  fifty-three  week year in fiscal 2001 and the use
of a  convenience  date (for the end of the second  quarter to coincide with the
Company's  emergence from Chapter 11),  respectively,  as compared to the second
quarter and the  twenty-six  weeks ended  September 25, 1999.  The  consolidated
financial  statements  for all  periods  have been  reclassified  to present the
Company's  non-core  businesses as  discontinued  operations due to Management's
intent to sell these non-core businesses.

Second Quarter Ended October 10, 2000 Compared to Second Quarter Ended September
25, 1999, as restated

     Net Sales.  Net sales  increased by $11.1 million or 24.0% to $57.1 million
for the second  quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the second  quarter of fiscal
2000. The increase was primarily  attributable to the North American  automotive
operations  increased  sales of $10.8 million  compared to the second quarter of
fiscal  2000 due to  stronger  demand  in airbag  fabric  and  cushions  and the
additional  days of  operations in the second  quarter of fiscal 2001.  European
automotive  operations  net  sales  increased  by a  net  $200,000  due  to  the
additional days of operations  offset by the adverse effect of decreased foreign
currency translation rates of approximately 8.5%.

     Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit  increased  by $1.5  million or 23.8% for the
second  quarter of fiscal 2001  compared to the second  quarter of fiscal  2000.
Approximately  $1.2  million  of the  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to
increased  sales  principally in the North American  automotive  markets.  Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales remained constant at approximately 13.5% for
the second  quarter of fiscal 2001 as  compared to the second  quarter of fiscal
2000.  Additionally,  the effect of the fair value adjustment of $710,000 to the
Company's  inventory  in the  second  quarter  of fiscal  year 2001 will have an
adverse impact on the Company's  following  fiscal quarter gross profit results.
The impact of the fair value  adjustments  on the second  quarter of fiscal year
2001  was  recognized  in  Reorganization   Items  to  state  inventory  at  its
manufactured fair market value in accordance with fresh start accounting.

     Selling,  General  and  Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased by $490,000 or 14.3% to $2.9 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The
decrease is primarily  attributable to efficiencies gained and cost savings from
the  Company's  restructuring  efforts.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales  decreased to 5.1% for the second  quarter
of fiscal 2001 from 7.4% for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease as
a percentage of net sales was primarily a result of the increase in net sales as
discussed above and the cost savings from the Company's restructuring efforts.

     Research  and  Development  Expenses.  Research  and  development  expenses
decreased by $192,000 or 45.3% to $232,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2001
compared to the second  quarter of fiscal 2000.  The  research  and  development
costs were primarily incurred at SCFTI (Greenville, South Carolina plant) in its
technical fabrics business and other European airbag facilities.

     Operating  Income.  Operating income increased by $2.2 million or 109.8% to
$4.2  million  for the second  quarter  of fiscal  2001  compared  to the second
quarter  of  fiscal  2000.   Approximately  $1.5  million  of  the  increase  is
attributable to increased sales and efficiency  improvements as discussed above.
Operating  income as a percentage of net sales  increased to 7.3% for the second
quarter of fiscal  2001 from 4.3% for the second  quarter  of fiscal  2000.  The
increase as a percentage of net sales was primarily a result of the


                                       20
<PAGE>


items discussed above.

     Other Expense.  The Company recorded a foreign translation loss of $395,000
during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to an insignificant  amount
in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $1.6 million or 43.6% to $2.0
million for the second  quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal  2000.  The  decrease  was  attributable  to the Company not  recognizing
interest  expense of $2.7 million after April 10, 2000 on its Notes  pursuant to
the Company's  Restructuring  Agreement in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding.
If the $2.7  million of interest  expense had been  recognized  in fiscal  2001,
interest  expense  would have  increased  approximately  $1.1  million  from the
comparable  quarter of fiscal 2000.  Such  increase was  primarily the result of
increased interest rates during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

     Reorganization  Items.  Professional fees and expenses totaled $2.5 million
for the second  quarter of fiscal year 2001.  Such expenses  represent  fees and
expenses of the Company's  various legal and financial  advisors,  the financial
and  legal  advisors  for  the  Senior  Lenders  and   Noteholders,   and  other
professionals  associated with the Company's financial restructuring and Chapter
11 bankruptcy  proceeding.  The  restructuring  charges  consist  primarily of a
charge for future severance  payments to the Company's former Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer.  The impact of adjusting assets and liabilities to fair value
in accordance with SOP 90-7 resulted in a net charge of $34.0 million.  See Note
3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the
effects SOP 90-7.

     Income Tax Benefit. The income tax benefit for the second quarter of fiscal
2001 is  principally  due to the income tax effect of the fresh  start and other
reorganization  adjustments.  See  Note 9 to  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements for further information  regarding income taxes and the Company's net
operating loss carryforwards.

     Discontinued  Operations.   Loss  from  discontinued  operations  increased
$574,000  or 104.7% to $1.1  million  for the second  quarter of fiscal  2001 as
compared  to the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2000.  The  increase  in  loss is
attributable  to $1.3  million of  restructuring  costs  related to the Valentec
Wells operation. The gain on disposition of discontinued operations was $214,000
net of income taxes of $125,000 for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000. The gain
on  disposition  includes the $1.2 million  realized gain on the sale of Systems
offset  by  estimated   plant   restructuring   expenses,   interest  costs  and
professional fees related to the disposition of the non-core business.

     Extraordinary Gain. The extinguishment of the Senior Subordinated Notes and
related accrued interest resulted in an extraordinary gain of $29.9 million, net
of income taxes of $17.5 million.

     Net Income (Loss). The Company  experienced net income of $10.7 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. This change in earnings was a result of the items
discussed above.

Twenty-eight  Weeks Ended October 10, 2000  Compared to  Twenty-six  Weeks Ended
September 25, 1999, as restated

     Net Sales.  Net sales increased by $10.6 million or 10.7% to $109.1 million
for the  twenty-eight  weeks ended October 10, 2000  compared to the  twenty-six
weeks ended September 25, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to North
American  automotive  operations  increased  sales of $23.6 million  compared to
fiscal  2000 due to  stronger  demand  in airbag  fabric  and  cushions  and the
additional days of


                                       21
<PAGE>


operations. This increase in net sales is offset by the $9.6 million decrease in
net sales of  technical  fabrics  as  compared  to the  twenty-six  weeks  ended
September  25, 1999.  This  decrease was  attributable  to the  reallocation  of
technical fabric production  capacity to support the demand for airbag fabric to
the  Company's  North  American  automotive   operations.   European  automotive
operations net sales decreased $3.4 million  primarily due to the adverse effect
of decreased foreign currency  translation rates of approximately 9.1% and lower
sales  volume  due  to  the  uncertainty  surrounding  the  Company's  financial
condition during the latter part of fiscal 2000.

     Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit  increased  by $2.2  million or 16.6% for the
twenty-eight weeks ended October 10, 2000 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended
September  25, 1999.  Approximately  $1.9 million of the increase was  primarily
attributable  to increased  sales and margin gains in North American  automotive
operations  arising  from  efficiency  improvements,  product  mix,  and related
success in implementing the Company's Lean Manufacturing  program.  Gross profit
as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  increased  to  approximately  14.5%  for  the
twenty-eight  weeks ended October 10, 2000 from 13.8% for the  twenty-six  weeks
ended September 25, 1999. Additionally,  the effect of the fair value adjustment
of $710,000 to the Company's inventory in the second quarter of fiscal year 2001
will have an adverse  impact on the  Company's  following  fiscal  quarter gross
profit results.  The impact of the fair value  adjustments on the second quarter
of fiscal year 2001 was recognized in Reorganization Items to state inventory at
its manufactured fair market value in accordance with fresh start accounting.

     Selling,  General  and  Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased  by $174,000 or 2.8% to $5.9 million for the
twenty-eight weeks ended October 10, 2000 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended
September  25,  1999.  The decrease is primarily  attributable  to  efficiencies
gained and cost  savings  from the  Company's  restructuring  efforts.  Selling,
general and  administrative  expenses as a percentage of net sales  decreased to
5.4% for the  twenty-eight  weeks  ended  October  10,  2000  from  6.2% for the
twenty-six  weeks ended  September 25, 1999. The decrease as a percentage of net
sales was primarily a result of the increase in sales as discussed above and the
cost savings from the Company's restructuring efforts.

     Research  and  Development  Expenses.  Research  and  development  expenses
decreased  by  $294,000 or 45.4% to $353,000  for the  twenty-eight  weeks ended
October 10, 2000 compared to the twenty-six  weeks ended September 25, 1999. The
research and  development  costs were primarily  incurred at SCFTI  (Greenville,
South Carolina  plant) in its technical  fabrics  business and in other European
airbag facilities.

     Operating  Income.  Operating  income increased by $2.8 million or 46.1% to
$8.9 million for the  twenty-eight  weeks ended October 10, 2000 compared to the
twenty-six  weeks ended  September 25, 1999.  Approximately  $2.1 million of the
increase is due to  increased  sales and  efficiency  improvements  as discussed
above.  Operating  income as a  percentage  of net sales  increased  to 8.1% for
fiscal 2001 from 6.2% for fiscal 2000. The increase as a percentage of net sales
was primarily a result of the items discussed above.

     Other Expense.  The Company recorded a foreign translation loss of $737,000
during  the  twenty-eight  weeks  ended  October  10,  2000  as  compared  to an
insignificant amount in the twenty-six weeks ended September 25, 1999.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $3.2 million or 45.6% to $3.8
million  for the  twenty-eight  weeks ended  October  10,  2000  compared to the
twenty-six   weeks  ended   September  25,  1999.  The  decrease  was  primarily
attributable  to the Company not  recognizing  interest  expense of $4.7 million
after  April  10,  2000 on its Notes  pursuant  to the  Company's  Restructuring
Agreement  in the  Chapter  11  bankruptcy  proceeding.  If the $4.7  million of
interest expense had been recognized in fiscal 2001, interest expense would have
increased  approximately $1.5 million from the comparable period of fiscal 2000.
Such increase was primarily  the result of increased  interest  rates during the
twenty-eight  weeks ended October 10, 2000 as compared to the  twenty-six  weeks
ended September 25, 2000.


                                       22
<PAGE>


     Reorganization  Items.  Professional fees and expenses totaled $3.7 million
for the twenty-eight  weeks ended October 10, 2000. Such expenses represent fees
and  expenses  of the  Company's  various  legal  and  financial  advisors,  the
financial and legal advisors for the Senior Lenders and  Noteholders,  and other
professionals  associated with the Company's financial restructuring and Chapter
11 bankruptcy  proceeding.  The  revaluation  of the Notes totaled $2.9 million,
representing   the  write-off  of  related   deferred   financing   costs.   The
restructuring  charges  consist  primarily  of a  charge  for  future  severance
payments to the  Company's  former  Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer.  The
impact of adjusting  assets and liabilities to fair value in accordance with SOP
90-7 resulted in a net charge of $34.0 million.  See Note 3 to the  Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information regarding the effects of SOP 90-7.

     Income Tax Benefit. The income tax benefit for the twenty-eight weeks ended
October 10, 2000 is principally  due to the income tax effect of the fresh start
and  other  reorganization  adjustments.  See Note 9 to  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  for further  information  regarding  income taxes and the
Company's net operating loss carryforwards.

     Discontinued  Operations.   Loss  from  discontinued  operations  increased
$973,000  or 208.4% to $1.4  million  for the second  quarter of fiscal  2001 as
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase is  attributable  to
$1.3 million of  restructuring  costs related to the Valentec Wells  operations.
The gain on  disposition of  discontinued  operations was $214,000 net of income
taxes of $125,000 for fiscal  2001.  The gain on  disposition  includes the $1.2
million  realized  gain  on the  sale  of  Systems  offset  by  estimated  plant
restructuring  expenses,  interest  costs and  professional  fees related to the
disposition of the non-core business.

     Extraordinary  Gain. The early  extinguishment  of the Senior  Subordinated
Notes and related accrued interest  resulted in an  extraordinary  gain of $29.9
million,  net of income taxes of $17.5  million.  This is offset by the $573,000
write-off of the deferred  financing costs associated with the early termination
of the KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility.

     Net Income (Loss).  The Company  experienced net income of $8.1 million for
the twenty-eight weeks ended October 10, 2000 compared to a net loss of $790,000
for the twenty-six weeks ended September 25, 1999. This change in earnings was a
result of the items discussed above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  equipment and working capital  requirements will continue to
increase as a result of the  anticipated  growth of  operations.  This growth is
expected  to be funded  through a  combination  of cash flows  from  operations,
equipment  financing  and through the use of lines of credit with the  Company's
lenders, as discussed in the following paragraphs.

     Through  twenty-eight  weeks of fiscal 2001, net cash provided by operating
activities of continuing  operations was $3.4 million. This decrease in net cash
provided  by  continuing  operations  from $7.9  million  in the  prior  year is
primarily the result of changes in operating assets and liabilities and non-cash
charges and credits  resulting from the Company's  bankruptcy and forgiveness of
debt.  Cash used in  investing  activities  of  continuing  operations  was $1.8
million  through  twenty-eight  weeks of fiscal 2001 as compared to $8.4 million
used in investing  activities of continuing  operations in the prior year.  This
change was due to a reduction  of $4.5  million in the  additions  of  property,
plant  and  equipment  as well as a  decrease  in the  consideration  and  costs
associated  with  the  purchase  of the  German  subsidiary.  Net  cash  used in
financing  activities for continuing  operations  through  twenty-eight weeks of
fiscal 2001 was $7.6 million. This decrease from net cash provided by continuing
operations of $1.2 million in the prior year is due primarily


                                       23
<PAGE>


the net repayments of the Key Bank Credit Agreement and the DIP financing, along
with  repayments  for term  notes,  capital  leases  and  mortgages.  All of the
activities noted above resulted in a net decrease in cash of $5.4 million in the
first twenty-eight weeks of fiscal year 2001.

     The  Company  and an  informal  committee  comprised  of  holders  of  over
two-thirds  in aggregate  dollar amount of the Notes began  negotiations  and in
early April 2000 entered into the Restructuring Agreement that would be effected
through a  voluntary  filing  under  Chapter 11.  Pursuant to the  Restructuring
Agreement,  the claims of the  Noteholders  were to be converted in the right to
receive  4,840,774  shares of the Company's post bankruptcy  common stock on the
Emergence Date  (4,816,574  shares to the  Noteholders  and 24,200 shares to the
financial  advisors of the  Noteholders).  The current  shareholders,  excluding
Robert Zummo, the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, were to
receive  159,226  shares  of the  Company's  post  bankruptcy  common  stock and
warrants to acquire an additional 681,818 shares of such common stock.

     On April  26,  2000,  in  conjunction  with the  filing of the  Chapter  11
petition,  the Safety Filing Group  received  Court  approval of a $30.6 million
senior DIP financing  facility  that it had executed with Bank of America,  N.A.
The senior DIP  financing  was  expected  to provide  adequate  funding  for all
post-petition  trade  and  employee  obligations,  the  partial  paydown  of the
pre-petition  secured  debt, as well as the Company's  ongoing  operating  needs
during the  restructuring  process.  Upon  closing  of the senior DIP  financing
facility on May 9, 2000,  the Senior  Lenders  received a  principal  paydown of
approximately $17 million and retained the remaining approximately $20.9 million
portion of their indebtedness as an 11% per annum post-petition subordinated DIP
facility as a replacement of their KeyBank Credit Agreement.

     On August 31,  2000,  the Court  entered an order  approving  the Plan.  On
October 11, 2000 (the  "Emergence  Date'),  the Safety Filing Group emerged from
Chapter 11 pursuant to the Plan confirmed by the Court. Pursuant to the Plan, as
confirmed, upon emergence all of the Company's 10-1/8% senior notes due 2007 (an
aggregate of  approximately  $96.8 million,  including  accrued  interest to the
Petition  Date)  were   converted   into  4,840,774   shares  of  the  Company's
post-bankruptcy  common stock, and the  pre-bankruptcy  common stock,  excluding
stock held by Robert Zummo (former  Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer of the
Company),  was converted  into 159,226  shares of the Company's  post-bankruptcy
common stock and warrants to acquire an additional 681,818 shares of such common
stock.  Immediately  upon emergence,  the Company had 5,000,000 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding  and, other than the warrants,  no shares of common
stock were  reserved for issuance in respect of claims and  interests  filed and
allowed  under the Plan. In addition,  Safety  Components'  trade  suppliers and
other creditors will be paid in full,  pursuant to the terms of the Plan, within
90 days of the Emergence Date.

     In connection with its emergence from Chapter 11, the Company announced the
closing on  October  11,  2000 of a  three-year  $35  million  revolving  credit
facility  with  Congress   Financial   Corporation   (Southern)  (the  "Congress
Facility"),  expiring  October 11, 2003.  The Congress  Facility has allowed the
Company  to pay off its  debtor-in-possession  credit  facilities  with  Bank of
America and is expected to provide  adequate  funding for the Company's  ongoing
global operating needs. In addition to the Congress  Facility,  the Company also
closed on October 11, 2000 a two-year  subordinated  secured note  facility with
the Senior Lenders for $20.9 million (the "Subordinated Facility"),  expiring on
October 11,  2002.  If the  Congress  Facility  had been in place on October 10,
2000, the Company's availability for additional borrowings would have been $12.2
million at that time.

     Under the  Congress  Facility  the  Company may borrow a maximum of (a) $35
million  or (b)  85% of  eligible  accounts  receivable,  plus  60% of  eligible
finished goods, plus 50% of raw materials.  Included within borrowings permitted
under the Congress  Facility are $7.6 million in term loans which will be repaid
in equal  monthly  installments  of  approximately  $127,000,  with  the  unpaid
principal amount due on October

11, 2003,  unless the Congress  Facility is removed at that time.  Also included
within  borrowings  permitted under the Congress Facility is a $3 million letter
of credit facility.

     The interest  rate on the Congress  Facility is variable,  depending on the
amount of the Company's Excess  Availability (as defined) at any particular time
and the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined).  Excess Availability
is calculated  as the lesser of the borrowing  base of the Company or the amount
equal  to the  $35  million  less  the  amount  of all  outstanding  and  unpaid
obligations  of the Company plus the aggregate  amount of all trade payables and
other obligations of the Company which are more than sixty days past due. On the
Emergence  Date,  the  margin  on prime  rate  loans  was 0% and the  margin  on
Eurodollar rate loans was 2%. The interest rate on the Subordinated  Facility is
fixed at 11%.

     The  Congress  Facility  and the  Subordinated  Facility  both  require the
Company to meet a minimum adjusted tangible net worth (as defined) covenant.  In
addition,  the Subordinated  Facility provides for mandatory  prepayments in the
event that the  Company's  Consolidated  EBITDA  (as  defined)  exceeds  certain
specified levels following the Emergence Date.  Additionally,  both the Congress
Facility and the  Subordinated  Facility contain certain  restrictive  covenants
that impose  limitations  upon,  among other things,  the  Company's  ability to
borrow  monies  under  the  Congress  Facility;  incur  indebtedness  (including
capitalized  lease  arrangements);  become or remain  liable with respect to any
guaranty;  make  loans;  acquire  investments;  declare  or make  dividends  (no
dividends are  permitted to be repaid to holders of the Company's  common stock)
or other distributions;  merge,  consolidate,  liquidate or dispose of assets or
indebtedness;  incur  liens;  issue  capital  stock;  or  change  its  business.
Substantially  all  assets of the  Company  are  pledged as  collateral  for the
borrowings under the Congress Facility and the Subordinated Facility.

     The Company has budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $3.2 million
for the remainder of fiscal 2001.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
Hedging  Activities",  effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2000. This
new  standard  requires  recognition  of  all  derivatives,   including  certain
derivative  instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts,  as  either  assets  or
liabilities  in the  statement of financial  position and  measurement  of those
instruments  at fair  value.  The  Company is in the  process of  reviewing  the
effect, if any, that SFAS 133 will have on the Company's  consolidated financial
statements and disclosures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
        ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     To the  extent  that  amounts  borrowed  under the  Congress  Facility  are
outstanding,  the Company has market risk  relating to such amounts  because the
interest rates under the Congress  Facility are variable.  The Congress Facility
was entered  into on October 11,  2000,  after the end of the  Company's  second
fiscal quarter.

     The Company's operations in Mexico,  Germany, the UK and the Czech Republic
expose the Company to currency exchange rate risks. Currently,  the Company does
not enter into any hedging arrangements to reduce this exposure.  The Company is
not aware of any facts or  circumstances  that would  significantly  impact such
exposures in the near-term.  If, however, there was a sustained decline of these
currencies versus the U.S. dollar,  then the consolidated  financial  statements
could be materially adversely affected.

                                OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     After the Company's  announcement of the restatements in November 1999, the
Company and several of its present or former  officers and directors  were named
defendants in a class action litigation commenced by shareholders of the Company
in the United  States  District  Court for the  District  of New  Jersey.  Eight
separate  lawsuits were filed,  alleging  violations  of the federal  securities
laws, and all have been  consolidated  into one action.  The parties  executed a
Memorandum of Understanding to settle the consolidated  class action  litigation
for $4 million. The principal terms of the settlement were approved by the Court
of the on  September  11,  2000.  The Company  expects  that its  directors  and
officers  insurance  carrier  will,  subject  to  Court  approval,  satisfy  the
settlement obligations.  Management does not presently believe that a resolution
consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding  would have a material effect on
the financial statements.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     On the  Emergence  Date,  the Safety  Filing Group  emerged from Chapter 11
pursuant to the Plan confirmed by the Court. Pursuant to the Plan, as confirmed,
upon emergence all of the Company's  10-1/8% senior notes due 2007 (an aggregate
of approximately $96.8 million, including accrued interest to the Petition Date)
were  converted into 4,840,774  shares of the Company's  post-bankruptcy  common
stock, and the pre-bankruptcy common stock, excluding stock held by Robert Zummo
(former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company), was converted into
159,226  shares  of the  Company's  post-bankruptcy  common  stock  and  681,818
warrants  to  acquire  an  additional  681,818  shares  of  such  common  stock.
Immediately  upon  emergence,  the Company had 5,000,000  shares of common stock
issued and outstanding  and, other than the warrants,  no shares of common stock
were reserved for issuance in respect of claims and interests  filed and allowed
under the Plan.

     Under the  Congress  Facility,  no  dividends  are  permitted to be paid to
holders of the Company's capital stock.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

     Following  the Company's  restatement  of its fiscal 1999 and 2000 earnings
and a default with respect to obligations  under the KeyBank  Credit  Agreement,
the Senior Lenders  notified the trustee for the Notes that they were exercising
their rights to block a scheduled interest payment due on January 18, 2000.

     The  Company  and an  informal  committee  comprised  of  holders  of  over
two-thirds  in aggregate  dollar amount of the Notes began  negotiations  and in
early April 2000 entered into the Restructuring Agreement that would be effected
through a voluntary  filing  under  Chapter 11 of the United  States  Bankruptcy
Code. Pursuant to the Restructuring  Agreement, the claims of the holders of the
Company's senior  subordinated notes were converted into 4,840,774 shares of the
Company's  post-bankruptcy  common  stock and the  pre-bankruptcy  common  stock
excluding  stock held by Robert  Zummo,  (former  Chairman  and Chief  Executive
Officer of the Company), was converted into 159,226 shares of the Company's post
bankruptcy common stock and warrants to acquire and additional 681,818 shares of
such common stock. In addition to the Restructuring  Agreement, the Company also
reached an agreement  with the Senior Lenders  subject to a paydown,  to replace
their credit  agreement with a post-petition  subordinated  debtor-in-possession
financing facility.
