PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information more fully described elsewhere in this
prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not include all of the information
that is important to you. You should read the entire prospectus before
investing. All information in this prospectus assumes the underwriters'
overallotment option is not exercised, unless otherwise noted. References to
Armor Holdings, the Company, we, us and our refer to Armor Holdings, Inc. and
its subsidiaries. Industry information in this prospectus is taken from sources
we believe reliable. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of this
information. Pro forma financial information included in this summary reflects
the acquisition of the Armor Mobile Security Division as if it had occurred at
the beginning of the period indicated.

ARMOR HOLDINGS, INC.

We are a leading manufacturer and provider of security products, vehicle
armor systems and security risk management services. Our products and services
are used by military, law enforcement, security and corrections personnel
throughout the world, as well as governmental agencies, multinational
corporations and non-governmental organizations. Our company is organized and
operated under three business segments: Armor Holdings Products; Armor Mobile
Security; and ArmorGroup Services.

ARMOR HOLDINGS PRODUCTS. Our Armor Holdings Products Division manufactures
and sells a broad range of high quality equipment marketed under brand
names that are well-known and respected in the military and law enforcement
communities. Products manufactured by this division include body armor,
tactical armor, hard armor, duty gear, less-lethal munitions, anti-riot
products, police batons, forensic products and weapon maintenance products.

ARMOR MOBILE SECURITY. Our Armor Mobile Security Division manufactures and
installs ballistic and blast protection armoring systems for military
vehicles, commercial vehicles, military aircraft and missile components.
Under the brand name O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt, we are the sole-source
provider to the U.S. military for the supply of armoring and blast
protection systems for the High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle
(HMMWV, commonly known as the Humvee). Additionally, we have been
subcontracted to develop a ballistically armored and sealed truck cab for
the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) currently in development
for the U.S. Army. We armor a variety of commercial vehicles, including
limousines, sedans, sport utility vehicles, commercial trucks and
cash-in-transit vehicles, to protect against varying degrees of ballistic
and blast threats. Our Armor Mobile Security Division recently acquired the
companies that constituted the majority of what was formerly known as the
Security Products and Services Group of The Kroll-O'Gara Company ("O'Gara
Acquisition").

ARMORGROUP SERVICES. Our ArmorGroup Services Division provides a broad
range of sophisticated security risk management solutions to multinational
corporations in diverse industries such as natural resources, financial
services and consumer products, and to governmental and non-governmental
agencies such as the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, the United
Nations and CARE International. Services provided include security
planning, advice and management, security systems integration, intellectual
property asset protection, due diligence investigations and training
programs in counterintelligence, countersurveillance, advanced driving
techniques and ballistics.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW / MARKET OPPORTUNITY

We participate in the defense and global security products and services
industries. Increasingly, governments, militaries, businesses, and individuals
have recognized the need for our products and services to protect them from the
risks associated with terrorism, physical attacks, threats of violence,
white-collar crime and fraud. We believe the following trends and developments
will drive growth in the industries in which we participate:

o the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 generating strong federal
and local support for increased spending in the defense and domestic
security sectors;

o the U.S. defense budget submission for fiscal 2002 reflecting an 11%
increase over fiscal 2001, excluding a recent supplemental appropriation
of $40 billion;

o the creation of a new federal authority, the Office of Homeland
Security;

o the Department of Defense ("DoD") recently published the Quadrennial
Defense Review highlighting the need to enhance critical domestic defense
infrastructure;

o a continued increase in the number of law enforcement and security
personnel in the U.S.; and

o a continuing trend toward the outsourcing of security services at the
corporate level.

We believe that the three segments of our business are well positioned to
respond to the new security environment created by the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks on the United States. An increased law enforcement population
that will need to be properly equipped to combat and defend against the
domestic terrorist threat will, we expect, positively impact our Armor Holdings
Products Division. We believe that 85% -- 90% of our product line by revenue,
including body armor, tactical armor, hard armor, duty gear, less-lethal
munitions, anti-riot products and police batons, will exhibit higher than
previously expected demand over the next three to five years. With respect to
our Armor Mobile Security Division, we believe that increased demand for
Up-Armored HMMWVs by the U.S. military, though not currently quantifiable, is
likely, and that the demand for commercial armored vehicles is likely to
increase under the new security environment. We expect that the services
provided by our ArmorGroup Services Division will be more sought after as
corporations, governmental and non-governmental agencies re-evaluate their
security programs.

BUSINESS STRENGTHS

We believe that the following key strengths are critical to our success as
a leading provider of security products, vehicle armor systems and security
risk management services:

o BROAD PORTFOLIO OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. We believe we have a unique
competitive advantage due to the diversity of our security product and
service portfolio and the ability to offer that portfolio on a worldwide
basis, resulting in a well balanced revenue base.

o STRONG BRANDS WITH LEADING MARKET POSITIONS. The strength of our brand
names, such as American Body Armor, NIK (Registered Trademark) , Defense
Technology, Federal Laboratories, MACE (Registered Trademark) ,
Safariland, O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt and others, has contributed to our
leading market positions in several of the product categories in which we
compete.

o STRONG CLIENT BASE AND EXTENSIVE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK. Our offices in 38
countries and extensive worldwide distribution network of approximately
500 distributors for our Armor Holdings Products and ArmorGroup Services
Divisions has allowed us to develop a diversified client base that
reduces our dependence on any particular customer.

o PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF IDENTIFYING, COMPLETING AND INTEGRATING
ACQUISITIONS. Since January 1996, we have completed 27 acquisitions that
we believe, in the aggregate, have strengthened our market position,
leveraged our distribution network and expanded our product and service
offerings.

o SOLE-SOURCE PROVIDER OF UP-ARMORED HMMWVS. We believe that our
sole-source position and positive delivery outlook on this product
program should provide significant revenue opportunities in the future.

GROWTH STRATEGY

Our strategic objective is to be the leading global provider of security
products, vehicle armor systems and security risk management services to
multinational corporations, governmental, non-governmental and law enforcement
entities. The following elements define our growth strategy:

o CAPITALIZE ON EXPOSURE TO MILITARY PROGRAMS. We expect an increase in
volume for our current major military programs and expect to participate
in other existing and future military programs that require our unique
products and services.

o EXPAND DISTRIBUTION NETWORK AND PRODUCT OFFERINGS. We will continue to
leverage our distribution network by expanding our range of branded law
enforcement equipment through strategic acquisitions and the development
of new products.

o CAPITALIZE ON INCREASED HOMELAND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS. We are well
positioned to provide reputable, well branded products and services as
well as specialized training that are essential to establishing a
sustainable domestic security infrastructure.

o INCREASE GLOBAL POSITION IN HIGH FRIGHT AREAS. We will address the
heightened security concerns of our customers in existing high fright
areas and leverage our global expertise and reputation in newly
developing high fright areas.

o BROADEN SERVICE OFFERINGS TO EXISTING CLIENT BASE. We intend to increase
revenue by cross-selling our expanding security risk management service
offerings to our existing client base.

o PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. We intend to selectively pursue
acquisitions that enhance our product lines, service offerings,
geographic presence and client relationships in an effort to create a
diverse and global reach in our highly fragmented market.

(1) Earnings per share is after non-recurring income and charges. Earnings
per share before restructuring and related charges, integration and other
non-recurring charges and other (income) expense, net was $0.50, $0.66,
$0.86, and $0.70, for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000 and
2000 pro forma for the O'Gara acquisition, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, 2001, and pro forma 2001 for the O'Gara
acquisition, earnings per share before restructuring and related charges,
integration and other non-recurring charges and other (income) expense,
net was $0.53, $0.51 and $0.37, respectively.

(2) EBITDA is defined as operating income plus integration and other
non-recurring charges, restructuring and related charges, equity in
earnings of investee and depreciation and amortization. The depreciation
and amortization is taken from the depreciation and amortization line of
the statement of cash flows. EBITDA is not a substitute for operating
income, net income and cash flow from operating activities as determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as a measure
of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA is presented because we believe
some investors may find it useful in evaluating an investment in our
common stock.

(3) The depreciation and amortization is taken from the depreciation and
amortization line on the statement of cash flows. For fiscal 1998
depreciation and amortization includes $1.4 million of depreciation and
$1.3 million of amortization; for fiscal 1999 depreciation and
amortization includes $2.1 million of depreciation and $2.5 million of
amortization; and for fiscal 2000 depreciation and amortization includes
$3.2 million of depreciation and $3.4 million of amortization. According
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, goodwill arising from business combinations will no
longer require annual amortization but rather be tested for impairment.

(4) Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities.

(5) Gives effect to the net proceeds from the sale of 5,600,000 shares of
common stock offered by us in this offering at an offering price of
$22.00 per share.

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our common stock, you should consider carefully the
following risk factors and cautionary statements, as well as other information
and financial data set forth in this prospectus. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may
suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and
you could lose a substantial portion of the money you paid to buy our common
stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

THE PRODUCTS WE SELL ARE INHERENTLY RISKY AND COULD GIVE RISE TO PRODUCT
LIABILITY CLAIMS.

The products we manufacture are used in applications where the failure to
use such products for their intended purposes, the failure to use them
properly, or their malfunction, could result in serious bodily injury or death.
Our products include: body armor designed to protect against ballistic and
sharp instrument penetration; less-lethal products such as less-lethal
munitions, pepper sprays, distraction devices and flameless expulsion grenades;
various models of police batons made of wood, alloy steel, acetate, aluminum
and polycarbonate products; vehicle and hard armoring systems; and police duty
gear.

We are aware of claims against certain of our subsidiaries, of permanent
physical injury and death caused by self-defense sprays and other munitions
intended to be less-lethal. In addition, the manufacture and sale of certain
less-lethal products may be the subject of product liability claims arising
from the design, manufacture or sale of such goods. Based on our experience, we
believe that we maintain adequate insurance coverage under the circumstances.
However, we cannot assure you that this coverage would be sufficient to cover
the payment of any potential claim. In addition, we cannot assure you that this
or any other insurance coverage will continue to be available or, if available,
that we will be able to obtain it at a reasonable cost. Any material uninsured
loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. In addition, the inability to obtain product
liability coverage would prohibit us from bidding for orders from certain
municipal customers since, at present, many municipal bids require such
coverage, and any such inability would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE ARE INHERENTLY RISKY AND MAY SUBJECT US TO CLAIMS
SEEKING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES.

We provide security risk management services through our ArmorGroup
Services Division. These services are most in demand in areas of the world
encountering high levels of violence, unstable or chaotic political
environments and little or no effective local law enforcement authorities. As a
result, our management and employees are often located, and provide services,
in hostile and high risk environments characterized by political instability,
emerging market conditions and/or significant natural resources such as Africa,
South America, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Balkans and Russia. In
addition, we operate in locations where murders, kidnappings and attacks on
facilities and installations and terrorism are endemic. We cannot be certain
whether parties will bring lawsuits in the future alleging negligence or other
theories of liability in the provision of security services and seeking
substantial amounts in damages. Based on our experience, we believe that the
insurance coverage that we maintain is adequate under the circumstances.
However, the success of such a lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES ARE LOCATED IN SITUATIONS WHERE THEY ARE SUBJECT TO
HEIGHTENED RISK OF PERSONAL HARM.

Our management and employees are often located in hostile and high risk
environments, including locations where murders, kidnappings and attacks on
persons are endemic. Any personal attacks on our personnel could materially
adversely effect our operations, particularly in the locations where such
attacks occur. Additionally, we may be subject to material claims from our
employees who are subject to physical harm or their beneficiaries.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND OUR FAILURE OR INABILITY
TO COMPLY WITH THESE REGULATIONS COULD MATERIALLY RESTRICT OUR OPERATIONS AND
SUBJECT US TO SUBSTANTIAL PENALTIES.

We are subject to federal licensing requirements with respect to the sale
in foreign countries of certain of our products. In addition, we are obligated
to comply with a variety of federal, state and local regulations governing
certain aspects of our operations and workplace, including regulations
promulgated by, among others, the U.S. Departments of Commerce, State and
Transportation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Additionally, the failure to obtain applicable
governmental approval and clearances could adversely affect our ability to
continue to service the government contracts we maintain. Furthermore, we have
material contracts with governmental entities and are subject to rules,
regulations and approvals applicable to government contractors. We are also
subject to routine audits to assure our compliance with these requirements. Our
failure to comply with these contract terms, rules or regulations could expose
us to substantial penalties, including the loss of these contracts and
disqualification as a U.S. government contractor.

Like other companies operating internationally, we are subject to the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other laws which prohibit improper payments
to foreign governments and their officials by U.S. and other business entities.
We operate in countries known to experience endemic corruption. Our extensive
operations in such countries creates the risk of an unauthorized payment by an
employee or agent of ours which would be in violation of various laws including
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act may result in severe criminal penalties which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS AND ASSETS AND ARE THEREFORE
SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL AND REGULATORY RISKS.

We have operations and assets in many parts of Africa, South America,
Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Balkans and Russia. In addition, we sell our
services and products in other foreign countries and seek to increase our level
of international business activity. Accordingly, we are subject to various
risks, including: U.S.-imposed embargoes of sales to specific countries;
foreign import controls (which may be arbitrarily imposed and enforced);
exchange rate fluctuations; dividend remittance restrictions; expropriation of
assets; war, civil uprisings and riots; government instability; the necessity
of obtaining government approvals for both new and continuing operations; and
legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations and court
decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or
arbitrarily applied.

We may also be subject to unanticipated income taxes, excise duties,
import taxes, export taxes or other governmental assessments. In addition,
payments to us in our international markets are often in local currencies.
Although most of these currencies are presently convertible into U.S. dollars,
we cannot be sure that convertibility will continue. Even if currencies are
convertible, the rate at which they convert is subject to substantial
fluctuation. Our ability to transfer currencies into or out of local currencies
may be restricted or limited. Any of these events could result in a loss of
business or other unexpected costs which could reduce revenue or profits and
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

We routinely operate in areas where local government policies regarding
foreign entities and the local tax and legal regimes are often uncertain,
poorly administered and in a state of flux. We cannot, therefore, be certain
that we are in compliance with, or will be protected by, all relevant local
laws and taxes at any given point in time. A subsequent determination that we
failed to comply with relevant local laws and taxes could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

TERRORISM MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO
OUR CUSTOMERS.

Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and
Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of violence or war may
make travel and transportation of our supplies and products more difficult and
expensive and ultimately affect the sales of our products, and delivery of our
services, in the United States and overseas. Additionally, as a result of
terrorism, the

United States may enter into an armed conflict that could adversely impact our
sales, supply chain, production capability and ability to deliver products and
services to our customers.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

THERE ARE LIMITED SOURCES FOR SOME OF OUR RAW MATERIALS WHICH MAY SIGNIFICANTLY
CURTAIL OUR MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS.

The raw materials that we use in manufacturing ballistic resistant
garments and Up-Armored vehicles include: SpectraShield, a patented product of
Honeywell, Inc.; Z-Shield, a patented product of Honeywell, Inc.; Zylon, a
patented product of Toyobo Co., Ltd.; Kevlar, a patented product of E.I. du
Pont de Nemours Co., Inc. ("Du Pont"); and Twaron, a patented product of
Akzo-Nobel Fibers, B.V. We purchase these materials in the form of woven cloth
from five independent weaving companies. In the event Du Pont or its licensee
in Europe cease, for any reason, to produce and sell Kevlar, we would utilize
these other ballistic resistant materials as a substitute. However, none of
Spectrashield, Twaron, Z-Shield or Zylon is expected to become a complete
substitute for Kevlar in the near future. We enjoy a good relationship with our
suppliers of Kevlar, SpectraShield, Twaron, Z-Shield and Zylon. The use of
Zylon and Z-Shield in the design of ballistic resistant vests is a recent
technological advancement that is subject to continuing development and study.
Toyobo is the only producer of Zylon, and Honeywell is the only producer of
Z-Shield. Should these materials become unavailable for any reason, we would be
unable to replace them with materials of like weight and strength. Thus, if our
supply of any of these materials were cut off or if there were a material
increase in the prices of these materials, our manufacturing operations could
be severely curtailed and our business, financial condition and results of
operations would be materially adversely affected.

THE LOSS OF, OR A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN, U.S. MILITARY BUSINESS WOULD HAVE A
MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON US.

U.S. military contracts account for a significant portion of the business
of the Armor Mobile Security Division. The U.S. military funds these contracts
in annual increments, and the contracts require subsequent authorization and
appropriation that may not occur or that may be for less than the total amount
of the contract. Changes in the U.S. military's budget, spending allocations,
and the timing of such spending could adversely affect our ability to receive
future contracts. Also the U.S. military generally has the right to cancel its
contracts unilaterally, at its convenience.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A SINGLE SUPPLIER OF COMPONENTS FOR UP-ARMORED HMMWVS AND
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DELIVER UP-ARMORED HMMWVS IF OUR SUPPLY IS INTERRUPTED.

The Armor Mobile Security Division is the sole-source provider to the U.S.
military for the supply of armoring and blast protection systems for the HMMWV.
Up-Armored HMMWVs accounted for approximately one-third of the sales of the
Armor Mobile Security Division during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001.
These HMMWVs are manufactured by AM General Corporation under separate U.S.
military contracts. Should deliveries of HMMWVs be significantly interrupted,
or should other single source suppliers significantly interrupt deliveries of
components for Up-Armored HMMWVs, we will not be able to deliver Up-Armored
HMMWVs to the U.S. military on schedule, which could have a material adverse
effect on us.

OUR RESOURCES MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO MANAGE THE DEMANDS IMPOSED BY OUR GROWTH.

We have rapidly expanded our operations, and this growth has placed
significant demands on our management, administrative, operating and financial
resources. The continued growth of our customer base, the types of services and
products offered and the geographic markets served can be expected to continue
to place a significant strain on our resources. In addition, we cannot easily
identify and hire personnel qualified both in the provision and marketing of
our security services and products. Our future performance and profitability
will depend in large part on: our ability to attract and retain additional
management and other key personnel; our ability to implement successful
enhancements to

our management, accounting and information technology systems; and our ability
to adapt those systems, as necessary, to respond to growth in our business.

MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE FLUCTUATING BUDGETS WHICH MAY CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL
FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Customers for our products include military, law enforcement and other
governmental agencies. Government tax revenues and budgetary constraints, which
fluctuate from time to time, can affect budgetary allocations for these
customers. Many domestic and foreign government agencies have in the past
experienced budget deficits that have led to decreased spending in certain
areas. Our results of operations may be subject to substantial period-to-period
fluctuations because of these and other factors affecting spending. A reduction
of funding for military, law enforcement and other governmental agencies could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY.

We are dependent upon a variety of methods and techniques that we regard
as proprietary trade secrets. We are also dependent upon a variety of
trademarks, service marks and designs to promote brand name development and
recognition. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright, patent,
trademark, unfair competition and other intellectual property laws as well as
contractual agreements to protect our rights to such intellectual property. Due
to the difficulty of monitoring unauthorized use of and access to intellectual
property, however, such measures may not provide adequate protection. In
addition, there can be no assurance that courts will always uphold our
intellectual property rights, or enforce the contractual arrangements that we
have entered into to protect our proprietary technology. Any unenforceability
or misappropriation of our intellectual property could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, if we bring or become subject to litigation to defend against claimed
infringement of our rights or of the rights of others or to determine the scope
and validity of our intellectual property rights, such litigation could result
in substantial costs and diversion of our resources which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Unfavorable results in such litigation could also result in the loss or
compromise of our proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities,
require us to seek licenses from third parties, or prevent us from selling our
products which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE OR INTEGRATE ACQUISITIONS AND AS A RESULT MAY
INCUR UNANTICIPATED LIABILITIES OR OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES.

We intend to grow through the acquisition of businesses and assets that
will complement our current businesses. We cannot be certain that we will be
able to complete attractive acquisitions, obtain financing for acquisitions on
satisfactory terms or successfully acquire identified targets. We may not be
successful in integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations.
Integration may result in unanticipated liabilities or unforeseen operational
difficulties, which may be material, or require a disproportionate amount of
management's attention. Acquisitions may result in our incurring additional
indebtedness or issuing preferred stock or additional common stock. Competition
for acquisition opportunities in the industry may rise, thereby increasing our
cost of making acquisitions or causing us to refrain from making further
acquisitions. In addition, the terms and conditions of our credit facility
impose restrictions on us that, among other things, may restrict our ability to
make acquisitions.

WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

compliance with all such requirements. Like all companies, we are subject to
potentially significant fines or penalties if we fail to comply with
environmental requirements. Environmental requirements are complex, change
frequently, and could become more stringent in the future. Accordingly, we
cannot assure you that these requirements will not change in a manner that will
require material capital or operating expenditures or will otherwise have a
material adverse effect on us in the future. We are also subject to
environmental laws requiring the investigation and clean-up of environmental
contamination. We may be subject to liability, including liability for clean-up
costs, if contamination is discovered at one of our current or former
facilities or at a landfill or other location where we have disposed wastes.
The amount of such liability could be material. We use
Orthochlorabenzalmalononitrile and Chloroacetophenone chemical agents in
connection with our production of tear gas. These chemicals are hazardous and
could cause environmental damage if not handled and disposed of properly.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

ONE STOCKHOLDER HAS THE ABILITY TO SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE THE ELECTION OF OUR
DIRECTORS AND THE OUTCOME OF CORPORATE ACTION REQUIRING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

Warren B. Kanders is the sole stockholder of Kanders Florida Holdings,
Inc. Kanders Florida Holdings, Inc. and Mr. Kanders beneficially own 3,177,855
shares or approximately 12.65% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
In addition, our officers and directors, including Mr. Kanders, beneficially
own an aggregate of 5,351,301 shares, or approximately 20.11%, of the common
stock. Consequently, Mr. Kanders, as Chairman of the Board of Directors and as
the sole stockholder of Kanders Florida Holdings, Inc., together with our other
officers and directors, will have the ability to significantly influence the
election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring
stockholder approval, including a change in control.

DELAWARE LAW MAY LIMIT POSSIBLE TAKEOVERS.

Our certificate of incorporation makes us subject to the anti-takeover
provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general,
Section 203 prohibits publicly-held Delaware corporations to which it applies
from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for
a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person
became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved
in a prescribed manner. This provision could discourage others from bidding for
our shares and could, as a result, reduce the likelihood of an increase in our
stock price that would otherwise occur if a bidder sought to buy our stock.

THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IS VOLATILE.

The market price for our common stock may be highly volatile. We believe
that a variety of factors, including announcements by us or our competitors,
quarterly variations in financial results, trading volume, general market
trends and other factors, could cause the market price of our common stock to
fluctuate substantially. Additionally, the market in general, and our common
stock in particular, may be subject to increased volatility due to the recent
terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. and any resulting conflicts.
Additionally, due to our relatively modest size, our winning or losing a large
contract may have the effect of distorting our overall financial results.

WE MAY ISSUE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN CONNECTION WITH FUTURE
ACQUISITIONS AND THE SALE OF THOSE SHARES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK
PRICE.

As part of our acquisition strategy, we anticipate issuing additional
shares of our common stock. We have filed a shelf registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission that we may use to sell up to 3,000,000
shares of our common stock from time to time in connection with acquisitions.
To the extent that we are able to grow through acquisitions for stock, the
number of outstanding shares of common stock that will be eligible for sale in
the future is likely to increase

substantially. Persons receiving shares of our common stock in connection with
these acquisitions may be more likely to sell large quantities of their common
stock that may influence the price of our common stock. In addition, the
potential issuance of additional shares in connection with anticipated
acquisitions could lessen demand for our common stock and result in a lower
price than would otherwise be obtained.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED WHEN ADDITIONAL SHARES ARE SOLD.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the
public market following this offering, the market price of our common stock
could fall. These sales might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or
equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate and may require us to issue greater amounts of our common stock to
finance such acquisition. Additional shares sold in this offering or to finance
acquisitions may dilute our earnings per share if the new operations' earnings
are disappointing.

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS.

We currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock.
We currently intend to retain any earnings for working capital, repayment of
indebtedness, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Our credit
facility contains restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make other
distributions.

SINCE WE HAVE BROAD DISCRETION IN HOW WE USE THE NET PROCEEDS FROM THIS
OFFERING, WE MAY USE SUCH PROCEEDS IN WAYS WITH WHICH YOU DISAGREE.

We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this
offering to any specific purpose. While we expect to use a portion of the net
proceeds from this offering to pay down our credit facility, our credit
facility will permit us to re-borrow that money at later times. Accordingly,
our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds
of this offering. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
operating results.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Some of the forward-looking statements appear under "Prospectus
Summary" and "Risk Factors." Other forward-looking statements appear in the
sections entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and "Business" and elsewhere included or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus. These statements relate to future
events of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "would," "will,"
"should," "could," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates,"
"predicts," "potential," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other
comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or
results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should
specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined in the Risk
Factors section of this prospectus. These factors may cause our actual results
to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale by us of the 5,600,000
shares of our common stock in this offering, at an offering price of $22.00 per
share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other
estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $115.2
million.

We expect to use approximately $82.7 million of our net proceeds to repay
indebtedness under our credit facility (including indebtedness incurred to
finance the O'Gara Acquisition) and the remainder will be used to finance
future acquisitions, for working capital and for general corporate purposes. We
may invest the net proceeds of this offering in short term interest-bearing
investment grade securities, pending the intended repayment of indebtedness
outstanding under the credit facility and the other uses described above.

Approximately $38.2 million of the indebtedness that will be reduced with
the net proceeds of this offering was incurred to finance the O'Gara
Acquisition. Our indebtedness under our credit facility bears interest at
variable rates (4.44% on December 4, 2001) and matures on February 12, 2004.
Although application of the net proceeds from this offering will repay amounts
outstanding under the credit facility, it will not reduce the amounts available
to us in the future.

We regularly review opportunities to further our business strategy through
strategic acquisitions of businesses that we believe are complementary to our
management skills and to our current and planned operations. We, however, have
no present commitments or agreements with respect to any particular
acquisition.

The foregoing information represents our current plans. Actual
expenditures may vary substantially from the intended use referred to above. We
may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of this offering for other
purposes. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by
the selling stockholders.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and
do not intend to declare or pay any for the foreseeable future. We expect to
continue to retain any earnings for working capital, repayment of indebtedness,
capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. In addition, our credit
facility restricts the payment of dividends on our common stock.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, 2001, and pro forma 2001
for the O'Gara acquisition, earnings per share before restructuring and
related charges, integration and other non-recurring charges and other

(2) EBITDA is defined as operating income plus merger, integration and other
non-recurring charges, restructuring and related charges, equity in
earnings of investee and depreciation and amortization. The depreciation
and amortization is taken from the depreciation and amortization line of
the statement of cash flows. EBITDA is not a substitute for operating
income, net income and cash flow from operating activities as determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as a measure
of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA is presented because we believe
some investors may find it useful in evaluating an investment in our
common stock.

(3) The depreciation and amortization is taken from the depreciation and
amortization line on the statement of cash flows. For fiscal 1996
depreciation and amortization includes $388,000 of depreciation, and
$430,000 of amortization; for fiscal 1997 depreciation and amortization
includes $994,000 of depreciation and $982,000 of amortization; for
fiscal 1998 depreciation and amortization includes $1.4 million of
depreciation and $1.3 million of amortization; for fiscal 1999
depreciation and amortization includes $2.1 million of depreciation and
$2.5 million of amortization; and for fiscal 2000 depreciation and
amortization includes $3.2 million of depreciation and $3.4 million of
amortization. According to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill arising from business
combinations will no longer require annual amortization but rather be
tested for impairment.

(4) Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities.

(5) Gives effect to the net proceeds from the sale of 5,600,000 shares of
common stock offered by us in this offering at an offering price of
$22.00 per share.

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

COMPANY OVERVIEW

MATERIAL CHANGES

On August 22, 2001, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring
Company, The O'Gara Company, and O'Gara Security Associates, Inc. The acquired
companies constitute the majority of what was formerly known as the Security
Products and Services Group of The Kroll-O'Gara Company. The primary business
of the acquired companies is now conducted through our new Armor Mobile
Security Division. Our future operations and performance is likely to differ
significantly from the discussion below, as a result of, among other things,
this recent acquisition.

We have consummated 22 acquisitions since January 1998. A comparison of
our period to period financial performance from January 1, 1998 through June
30, 2001 may be significantly affected by these acquisitions, including, but
not limited to, the O'Gara Acquisition and the Safariland Ltd., Inc.
("Safariland") acquisition.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

In January 2001, our ArmorGroup Services Division approved a restructuring
plan to close its U.S. investigative businesses, realign the division's
organization, eliminate excess facilities and reduce overhead in its businesses
worldwide. In connection with this restructuring plan, the division performed a
review of its long-lived assets to identify potential impairments. Pursuant to
this restructuring plan, ArmorGroup:

o eliminated 26 employees, primarily from its investigative businesses;

o eliminated an additional 24 employees from its security consulting
business;

o incurred lease and other exit costs as a result of the closure of its
investigative businesses; and

o wrote-down the value of both tangible and intangible assets as a result
of the impairment review.

We completed most of the significant actions related to this restructuring
by June 30, 2001.

As a result of the restructuring plan, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $10
million. We recorded $8.7 million in the first quarter and $1.3 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001. The pre-tax charge in the nine month period
ending September 30, 2001 included approximately:

o $1,375,000 in employee termination and related costs including
severance, relocation, medical and other benefits;

o $956,000 in lease termination and other exit costs;

o $291,000 in impairment charges related to tangible assets; and

o $7,337,000 in impairment charges related to intangible assets, primarily
goodwill.

The earnings per share effect of these charges for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 was $0.27 per share. As of September 30, 2001, we had a
remaining liability of $382,000 relating to lease

termination and other exit costs. This liability has been classified in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and
will be funded through cash provided by operating activities and our credit
facility.

ACQUISITIONS

We have pursued a strategy of growth through acquisition of businesses and
assets that complement our existing operations. We use several criteria to
evaluate prospective acquisitions including whether the business to be
acquired:

o broadens the scope of the services or products we offer or the
geographic areas we serve;

o offers attractive margins;

o is accretive to earnings;

o offers the opportunity to enhance profitability by improving the
efficiency of our operations;

o is managed in a manner consistent with our existing businesses; and

o complements our portfolio of existing businesses by increasing our
ability to manage our customers' needs.

Since January 1, 1998, our Armor Holdings Products Division completed
eight acquisitions with approximate combined annual revenues of $77.2 million
at the time of their acquisition, our Armor Mobile Security Division completed
the O'Gara Acquisition, with approximate annual revenues of $112.4 million
($6.1 million of which relates to businesses integrated into our ArmorGroup
Services Division) at the time of its acquisition, and our ArmorGroup Services
Division completed thirteen acquisitions with approximate combined annual
revenues of $28.7 million at the time of their acquisition. All of these
acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of
their operations are included only for the period after acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition. We record product revenues at gross amounts to be
received, including amounts to be paid to agents as commissions, at the time
the product is shipped to the distributor. Although product returns are
permitted in certain circumstances within 30 days from the date of purchase,
these returns have historically been minimal and usually consist of minor
modifications to the ordered product. We record services revenue as the service
is provided on a contract by contract basis.

We record revenue from our Armor Mobile Security Division when the vehicle
is shipped except for commercial contracts greater than $1,250,000 and longer
than four months in length and government contracts for the delivery of HMMWVs
to the U.S. Government. Revenue from commercial contracts greater than
$1,250,000 and longer than four months in length is recognized on the
percentage of completion units-of-work performed method. Revenues from the sale
of HMMWV's to the U.S. Government are recorded when the onsite Department of
Defense officer finishes the inspection of the HMMWV and approves it for
delivery.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2000

Products revenues. Armor Holdings Products Division revenues increased by
$3.1 million, or 3.1%, to $103.1 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2001, compared to $100.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
This increase was due to the acquisitions we completed in November 2000.

Mobile Security revenues. Armor Mobile Security Division revenues totaled
$9.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2001. The Mobile Security
Division was created with the O'Gara Acquisition on August 22, 2001, and its
revenues are included from September 1, 2001.

Services revenues. ArmorGroup Services Division revenues increased by
$11.8 million, or 18.9%, to $74.2 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2001, compared to $62.4 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2000. This increase was due to internal growth of 16.9% as well as 2.0% growth
from International Training, Inc., which was acquired in the O'Gara Acquisition
and is included in the revenue of ArmorGroup Services Division.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $17.8 million, or 17.6%, to
$118.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $100.8
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was
primarily due to increased revenues in the ArmorGroup Services Division for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 as well as the O'Gara Acquisition. As a percentage of total
revenues, cost of sales increased to 63.5% of total revenues for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to 62.1% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to the O'Gara Acquisition
as well as higher revenues in the ArmorGroup Services Division, both of which
operate at lower average gross margins than the Armor Holdings Products
Division.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $5.5 million, or
14.3%, to $43.8 million (23.4% of total revenues) in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, compared to $38.3 million (23.6% of total revenues) in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to
internal growth in the overall business as well as the operating expenses
associated with the O'Gara Acquisition and certain other newly acquired
companies.

Amortization. Amortization expense increased by $349,000, or 15.4%, to
$2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $2.3
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was due to
the amortization of intangible assets acquired as a result of the acquisitions
completed in June and November 2000, which are not fully reflected in the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, offset by a reduction in amortization of
goodwill associated with impairment charges taken earlier this year.

Restructuring and related charges. As a result of the restructuring plan,
we recorded a pre-tax charge of $10 million. As of September 30, 2001, we had a
remaining liability of $382,000 relating to

lease termination and other exit costs. This liability has been classified in
accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheet and will be funded through cash provided by
operating activities and our credit facility.

Integration and other non-recurring charges. Integration and other
non-recurring charges decreased by $737,000, or 29.1%, to $1.8 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $2.5 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. Merger and integration expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 represent costs associated with the integration
of the O'Gara Acquisition and certain other acquisitions, as well as costs
associated with our tax minimization project. Merger and integration expenses
in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 represent costs associated with the
integration of Safariland and certain other acquisitions, as well as costs
associated with the tax minimization project, the evaluation of strategic
alternatives and certain other one-time costs.

Equity in earnings of investee. Equity in earnings of investee was $87,000
in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and relates to our 20% investment
in Jardine Securicor Gurkha Services Limited ("JSGS"), which was sold during
the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.

Operating income. Operating income decreased by $8.7 million, or 46.5%, to
$10.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to
operating income of $18.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000
due to the factors discussed above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net increased by $1.5 million, or
122.5%, to $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared
to $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase
resulted from increased borrowings in connection with the O'Gara Acquisition
and other acquisitions that were funded with long-term debt. Increased debt
levels were offset by reductions in the cost of debt we are currently paying on
our bank credit facility due to lower interest rates. Net interest expense
includes interest on and amortization of the fees associated with our $120
million credit facility, and the amortization of the discount on certain
long-term liabilities acquired as part of the Safariland acquisition.

Other income, net. Other income, net decreased by $1.8 million, or 97.2%,
to $52,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $1.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Other income, net in the
nine months ended September 30, 2001 includes the results of operations
associated with the O'Gara Acquisition from the date of purchase to September
1, 2001. Other income, net in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was due
primarily to the sale of our investment in JSGS.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased by $4.5
million, or 63.1%, to $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
compared to $7.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The
effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was 36.0%,
compared to 37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in
our effective tax rate in the nine month ended September 30, 2001 was due to
the realization of benefits associated with our tax planning strategies in the
current period and the reduced impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization
on our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate is continually changing as
estimated future income from our foreign operations can vary significantly from
period to period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
30, 2001 is not necessarily indicative of continued tax rates due to the
continually changing concentration of income in each country in which we
operate.

Net income. Net income decreased by $7.4 million, or 60.9%, to $4.7
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $12.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 due to the factors discussed
above.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1999

Product revenues. Product revenues increased by $38.6 million, or 40.0%,
to $135.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 ("Fiscal 2000"),
compared to $96.7 million for the year ended

December 31, 1999 ("Fiscal 1999"). This increase was primarily due to strong
internal growth, including year over year comparisons of businesses acquired
during the previous year, of 20.4% as well as the inclusion of full year
results for Safariland and other 1999 acquisitions, and additional acquisitions
completed in Fiscal 2000. All of these acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases and accordingly the results of their operations are included only for
the period after acquisition.

Service revenues. Service revenues increased by $25.7 million, or 42.8%,
to $85.6 million in Fiscal 2000, compared to $60.0 million in Fiscal 1999. This
increase was primarily due to strong internal growth, including year over year
comparisons of security businesses acquired during the previous year, of 23.6%
as well as the inclusion of full year results for Fiscal 1999 acquisitions, and
the additional Fiscal 2000 acquisitions. All of these acquisitions were
accounted for as purchases and accordingly the results of their operations are
included only for the period after acquisition.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $43.1 million, or 45.6%, to
$137.5 million in Fiscal 2000, compared to $94.4 million in Fiscal 1999. This
increase was primarily due to increased revenues in Fiscal 2000 compared to
Fiscal 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales increased to
62.2% in Fiscal 2000 from 60.3% in Fiscal 1999.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $13.3 million, or
36.0%, to $50.3 million in Fiscal 2000, compared to $37.0 million in Fiscal
1999. This increase was primarily due to the increased revenues from our Armor
Holdings Products and ArmorGroup Services Divisions as well as the acquisitions
which were completed in 2000. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses
decreased to 22.8% of sales in Fiscal 2000 compared to 23.6% in Fiscal 1999.

Amortization. Amortization expense increased by $1.0 million, or 39.2%, to
$3.4 million in Fiscal 2000, compared to $2.5 million in Fiscal 1999. This
increase was primarily due to additional amortization of intangible assets
acquired as a result of the acquisitions completed during Fiscal 2000, as well
as a full year of amortization relating to the 1999 acquisitions.

Equity in earnings of investee. Equity in earnings of investee decreased
by $92,000, or 51.4%, to $87,000 in Fiscal 2000, compared to $179,000 in Fiscal
1999. The equity in earnings of investee was comprised of a 20% investment in
JSGS that we sold in Fiscal 2000 (see Other Income).

Integration and other non-recurring charges. Integration and other
non-recurring charges increased by $0.7 million, or 28.1%, to $3.3 million in
Fiscal 2000, compared to $2.6 million in Fiscal 1999 and are related to the
integration of the acquired companies. These costs include relocation expenses
for equipment and employees, severance costs as well as charges for integrating
our sales and marketing efforts.

Operating income. Operating income increased by $6.1 million, or 29.8%, to
$26.5 million in Fiscal 2000, compared to $20.4 million in Fiscal 1999 due to
the reasons discussed above.

Interest (income) expense, net. Net interest expense was $1.9 million in
Fiscal 2000, compared to net interest expense of $17,000 in Fiscal 1999. The
increase was primarily due to interest on debt incurred to fund acquisitions
and make purchases under our stock repurchase plan.

Other income, net. Net other income was $1.8 million in Fiscal 2000,
compared to $0.8 million in Fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to the
gain of approximately $1.7 million recognized on the sale of our investment in
JSGS in Fiscal 2000.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by
$1.3 million, or 16.7%, to $9.3 million in Fiscal 2000, compared to $8.0
million in Fiscal 1999. The provision was based on our U.S. federal and state
statutory income tax rates of approximately 37% for our U.S.-based companies
and a 10.6% blended effective tax rate for foreign operations. The effective
tax rate for our foreign operations is not necessarily indicative of expected
future rates due to the changing concentration and mix of income in the various
countries in which we operate. The effective tax rate for 2000 and 1999 was
35.4% and 37.8%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was a
result of the increased amount of income earned in jurisdictions whose
statutory tax rates were below those in the United States, as a percentage of
operating income.

Net income. Net income increased approximately $3.9 million, or 29.2%, to
$17.0 million in Fiscal 2000, compared to $13.2 million in Fiscal 1999. This
increase was primarily due to the combination of acquisitions, internal growth,
and to the factors discussed above.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1998

Product revenues. Product revenues increased by $51.1 million, or 111.9%,
to $96.7 million for Fiscal 1999, compared to $45.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 ("Fiscal 1998"). This increase was primarily due to the
acquisitions completed in 1998 and the acquisition of Safariland in 1999, as
well as strong internal growth. These acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases and the results of their operations are recorded only for the period
we owned them.

Service revenues. Service revenues increased by $8.4 million, or 16.3%, to
$60.0 million in Fiscal 1999, compared to $51.6 million in Fiscal 1998. This
increase was primarily due to the acquisitions completed in 1998 and 1999.
These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their
operations are recorded only for the period we owned them.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $32.8 million, or 53.2%, to
$94.4 million in Fiscal 1999, compared to $61.6 million in Fiscal 1998. This
increase was primarily due to increased revenues in Fiscal 1999 compared to
Fiscal 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased to
60.2% in Fiscal 1999 from 63.4% in Fiscal 1998 reflecting a greater proportion
of total revenue generated by our Armor Holdings Products Division in Fiscal
1999, which has higher gross margins than our ArmorGroup Services Division.
Both divisions improved their gross margins in 1999 by lowering costs through
greater efficiencies and by concentrating on higher margin investigative
business in the Services Division.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $15.1 million, or
68.9%, to $37.0 million (23.6% of total revenues) in Fiscal 1999, compared to
$21.9 million (22.5% of total revenues) in Fiscal 1998. This increase was
primarily due to the increased revenues from our Armor Holdings Products
Division which has higher sales and marketing expenses than the revenues from
the ArmorGroup Services Division, and the acquisitions we completed in 1999.

Amortization. Amortization expense increased by $1.1 million, or 82.9%, to
$2.5 million in Fiscal 1999, compared to $1.3 million in Fiscal 1998. This
increase was primarily due to additional amortization of intangible assets
acquired as a result of the Safariland acquisition and other acquisitions that
we completed during Fiscal 1999, which would not have been reflected in Fiscal
1998.

Equity in earnings of investee. Equity in earnings of investee decreased
by $534,000, or 74.9%, to $179,000 in Fiscal 1999, compared to $713,000 in
Fiscal 1998. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to losses incurred by
JSGS on its operations in India. This office was subsequently closed.

Integration and other non-recurring charges. Integration and other
non-recurring charges increased by $2.6 million to $2.6 million in Fiscal 1999.
These charges related to the integration of the acquired companies. These
charges include relocation expenses for equipment and employees, severance
costs as well as charges for integrating our sales and marketing efforts. We
did not incur such charges in Fiscal 1998.

Operating income. Operating income increased by $7.4 million, or 56.7%, to
$20.4 million in Fiscal 1999, compared to $13.0 million in Fiscal 1998
primarily due to the factors discussed above.

Interest (income) expense, net. Net interest expense was $17,000 in Fiscal
1999, compared to net interest income of $625,000 in Fiscal 1998. This increase
was primarily due to amortization of fees associated with the $60 million bank
credit agreement completed in February, 1999, as well as interest on debt
acquired as part of the purchased companies.

Other income, net. Net other income increased by $788,000 to $816,000 in
Fiscal 1999, compared to $28,000 in Fiscal 1998 and is primarily due to the
gain on the sale of stock in MACE Security International. We acquired this
stock through the exercise of warrants we received as part of an acquisition of
certain assets in July of 1998.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased by $2.9
million, or 57.6%, to $8.0 million in Fiscal 1999, compared to $5.1 million in
Fiscal 1998. The provision was based on our U.S. federal and state statutory
income tax rates of approximately 39% for our U.S.-based companies and a 37%
blended effective tax rate for foreign operations. The effective tax rate for
our foreign operations is not necessarily indicative of continued tax rates due
to a continually changing concentration of income in each country in which we
operate. The increase in our effective tax rate is a result of the increased
amortization of the goodwill generated by the Safariland and other acquisitions
that is not tax deductible.

Net income. Net income increased approximately $4.6 million, or 53.5%, to
$13.2 million in Fiscal 1999, compared to $8.6 million in Fiscal 1998. This
increase was primarily due to a combination of the acquisitions made during the
year being successfully integrated, and to the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On August 22, 2001, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, Canadian Imperial Bank
of Commerce, First Union National Bank, Suntrust Bank, Republic Bank, Keybank
National Association, and ING (U.S.) Capital LLC. Pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, the lenders established a $120,000,000 line of credit for our
benefit expiring on February 12, 2004. The Credit Agreement, among other
things, provides for (i) total maximum borrowings of $120,000,000 and (ii) the
capability for borrowings in foreign currencies. All borrowings under the
Credit Agreement bear interest at either (i) a base rate, plus an applicable
margin ranging from .000% to .375%, depending on certain conditions, (ii) a
eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.875%,
depending on certain conditions, or (iii) with respect to foreign currency
loans, a fronted offshore currency rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from
1.125% to 1.875%, depending on certain conditions. Outstanding borrowings under
the Credit Agreement currently bear interest at a variable rate of 4.44% per
annum. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that Bank of America will
make swing-line loans to us of up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes
only and will issue letters of credit on our behalf of up to $20,000,000. As of
December 4, 2001, we had approximately $82.7 million outstanding and
approximately $37.3 million available under the Credit Agreement. All
indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will mature on February 12, 2004. We
expect to use approximately $82.7 million of our net proceeds from this
offering to repay indebtedness under our credit facility. Following such
repayment, $120,000,000 will be available under the Credit Agreement. We also
have approximately $6.9 million in other long-term debt, net of current
portion, consisting primarily of $4.2 million in industrial revenue and
industrial development bonds.

In October 1999, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase
program that is effective through December 31, 2001, and that allows us to
repurchase up to 10% of our outstanding shares. Under this program, we expended
approximately $9.8 million in 1999 and $12.6 million in 2000 to repurchase
approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock. We have the ability to
repurchase up to approximately 629,000 additional shares under this program. We
expect to continue our policy of repurchasing our common stock at opportune
intervals. In addition, our Credit Agreement permits us to repurchase shares of
our common stock up to a maximum amount of $30 million if our ratio of
Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA for any Rolling Period
(as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than 2.00 to 1;
provided that if such ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 and 1, there is no
limitation under the Credit Agreement on the amount of such stock repurchases.
As of September 30, 2001, we had the ability to repurchase up to an additional
$7.6 million of shares of our common stock under the Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2000, we had working capital of $68.1 million. As of
September 30, 2001, we had working capital of $101.1 million.

We anticipate that the net proceeds from this offering, cash generated
from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement will enable us to
meet our liquidity, working capital and capital expenditure requirements during
the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional

financing to pursue our strategy of growth through acquisitions. If such
financing is required, there are no assurances that it will be available, or if
available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to us or on a basis that
is not dilutive to our stockholders.

Our capital expenditures were $7.8 million in our 2000 fiscal year and
$3.4 million in our 1999 fiscal year. Our spending on capital expenditures for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $5.7 million. Such expenditures
include, among other things, leasehold improvements, computer equipment and
software, and manufacturing machinery and equipment.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 establishes a "primary-asset" approach to
determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities
that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and
used. SFAS 144 requires that a long-lived asset to be (1) abandoned, (2)
exchanged for a similar productive asset, or (3) distributed to owners in a
spin-off be considered held and used until it is abandoned, exchanged, or
distributed. SFAS 144 requires (1) that spin-offs and exchanges of similar
productive assets to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value,
and that such assets be classified as held and used until disposed of and (2)
that any impairment loss resulting from a spin-off or exchange of similar
productive assets be recognized when the asset is disposed of. The provisions
of SFAS 144 will be come effective for us on January 1, 2002. The effects of
adopting this standard have not been determined.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143").
SFAS 143 establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset
retirement cost. SFAS 143 requires the recognition of the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. If a reasonable
estimate of fair value cannot be made in the period the asset retirement
obligation is incurred, the liability shall be recognized when a reasonable
estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation is the amount at which that liability could be settled in
a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced
or liquidation transaction. SFAS 143 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The provisions of SFAS
143 will become effective for us on January 1, 2003. The effects of adopting
this standard have not been determined.

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS
142"). SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under
a single method -- the purchase method. Use of the pooling-of-interest method
is no longer permitted. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method be used for
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires,
among other things, that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but
instead reviewed for impairment annually. Under SFAS 142, the amortization of
goodwill ceases upon adoption of the statement, which will become effective for
us on January 1, 2002. We have historically amortized our goodwill over its
estimated useful life. The goodwill resulting from recognition made by us
subsequent to June 30, 2001 is immediately subject to the non-amortization
provisions of SFAS 142. The effects of adopting this standard have not been
determined.

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as
amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 and 138, on
January 1, 2001. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as
either an asset or liability measured

at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. We do not currently have derivative instruments and,
accordingly, SFAS 133, as amended, is not expected to impact our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"),
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation -- an
Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25." FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB
Opinion No. 25 and, among other issues, clarifies the following: the definition
of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for
determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting
consequence of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock
options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation
awards in a business combination. The adoption of FIN 44 did not have a
material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

RECENTLY ISSUED STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 provides guidance on the
recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in the financial
statements, and is effective in the fourth quarter of 2000. SAB 101 did not
have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.

BUSINESS

Armor Holdings Products. Our Armor Holdings Products Division manufactures
and sells a broad range of high quality branded law enforcement equipment, such
as tactical armor, hard armor, duty gear, less-lethal munitions, anti-riot
products, police batons, forensic products and weapon maintenance products. Our
products are marketed under brand names that are well-known and respected in
the military and law enforcement communities such as American Body Armor,
Safariland, Defense Technology, Federal Laboratories, MACE (Registered
Trademark) , PROTECH, NIK (Registered Trademark) Public Safety, Break-Free,
Monadnock Lifetime Products and Lightning Powder. We sell our manufactured
products primarily to law enforcement agencies through a worldwide network of
over 500 distributors and sales agents, including approximately 350 in the
United States. Our extensive distribution capabilities and commitment to
customer service and training have enabled us to become a leading provider of
security equipment to law enforcement agencies. We believe there are
significant opportunities to grow our manufacturing business through the
acquisition and development of new product lines, expansion into new
territories and further development of sales to specialized government and
military agencies. In addition, we believe that consistent demand for our
premium products at attractive margins will continue because our products are
critical to the safety and effectiveness of our customers. We believe that the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States will lead to an
increase in law enforcement professionals. These professionals will need to be
properly equipped. As a result, we believe that our product line could exhibit
higher than previously expected and sustainable demand over the next three to
five years.

Armor Mobile Security. Our Armor Mobile Security Division manufactures and
installs ballistic and blast protected armoring systems for military vehicles,
commercial vehicles, military aircraft and missile components. Under the brand
name O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt, we are the sole-source provider to the U.S.
military for the supply of armoring and blast protection systems for the HMMWV.
We have also entered into an agreement to provide the U.S. military with
certain maintenance services with respect to its HMMWVs. There is currently an
installed base of

approximately 2,200 HMMWVs subject to this maintenance arrangement. We expect
that our maintenance services may increase if the U.S. military substantially
increases its HMMWV purchases or substantially increases its use of the current
installed base. Additionally, the Armor Mobile Security Division has been
subcontracted to develop a ballistically armored and sealed truck cab for
HIMARS, a program currently in development for the U.S. Army, and also markets
armor sub-systems for other tactical wheeled vehicles. We armor a variety of
commercial vehicles, including limousines, sedans, sport utility vehicles,
commercial trucks and cash-in-transit vehicles, to protect against varying
degrees of ballistic and blast threats. We believe that increased demand for
Up-Armored HMMWVs and other armored vehicles is likely following the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks. We believe that we have adequate capacity to
accomodate an expected increase in orders.

ArmorGroup Services. Our ArmorGroup Services Division provides a broad
range of sophisticated security risk management solutions to multinational
corporations in diverse industries such as natural resources, financial
services and consumer products, and to governmental and non-governmental
agencies such as the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, the United Nations
and CARE International. Our clients typically have personnel and other
investments in unstable and often violent areas of the world. Through our
offices on five continents, we provide our multinational clients with a
diversified portfolio of security solutions to assist them in mitigating risks
in their operations around the world. Our highly trained, multilingual and
experienced security personnel work closely with our clients to create and
implement solutions to complex security problems. These services include
security planning, advice and management, security systems integration,
intellectual property, asset protection, due diligence investigations and
training programs in counterintelligence, countersurveillance, advanced driving
techniques and ballistics. We believe that many of our security services, while
often representing a small portion of our clients' overall cost of doing
business, are critical to our clients' success. We believe that this creates a
consistent demand for our premium services at attractive margins. The September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States has heightened security
concerns at corporations and governmental and non-governmental organizations.
We believe that our global infrastructure and experience will allow us to
respond aggressively to increased concerns and to provide our services as
required.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW / MARKET OPPORTUNITY

We participate in the defense and global security products and services
industries through the manufacture of security products marketed to military,
law enforcement, security and corrections personnel, by providing specialized
security services to multinational corporations and governmental agencies and
by manufacturing and installing ballistic and blast protected armoring systems
for military vehicles, commercial vehicles, military aircraft, and missile
components. Increasingly, governments, militaries, businesses, and individuals
have recognized the need for our products and services to protect them from the
risks associated with terrorism, physical attacks, threats of violence,
white-collar crime and fraud.

The U.S. has been the target of several deadly terrorist attacks directed
towards its citizens and facilities around the world. In 1998, U.S. embassies
in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania were bombed. In 2000, the U.S.
Navy destroyer, USS Cole, was bombed in the Yemeni port of Aden. Most recent
were the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 against the World Trade Center
in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The continued U.S. military
response and additional security measures related to the terrorist threat will,
we believe, require spending at federal, state, and local agencies,
corporations and U.S. diplomatic facilities around the world. Institutions,
including the U.S. government, DoD, government agencies and multinational
corporations are redefining strategies to protect against and combat terrorism.

The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 have emphasized the importance
of a strong national defense both abroad and domestically. Prior to September
11, 2001, as part of President George W. Bush's stated commitment to strengthen
national defense, the Bush Administration submitted to Congress a $328 billion
fiscal 2002 defense budget that reflected an 11.0% increase over the fiscal
2001 defense budget submitted by the Clinton Administration, representing the
first double digit increase

since Operation Desert Storm. Since September 11, 2001, Congress has passed a
$40 billion supplemental appropriation and established the Office of Homeland
Security to be headed by the former Governor of Pennsylvania, Thomas J. Ridge.
On September 30, 2001, the DoD released its Quadrennial Defense Review Report.
The report emphasized the establishment of a new strategy for America's defense
and highlighted the need to enhance critical domestic defense infrastructure
that may require changes in force structure and organization. This new force
structure may result in an increase in U.S. military personnel, law enforcement
personnel, airport security personnel, and federal sky marshals who would
require law enforcement products and training. Many U.S. and Western
multinational corporations, commercial organizations, and governmental and
non-governmental organizations, especially airports, must also place increased
attention on security issues that we believe will require security consulting
services. It is also possible that the military will require additional
equipment and training in order to fight the war on terrorism on several fronts
simultaneously.

Law Enforcement Security Products Market. In response to an increased
emphasis on safety and protection, the number of active police officers has
increased significantly over the past several years. By 1999 there were
approximately 933,000 law enforcement personnel in the U.S. We expect the
likely increase in law enforcement personnel due to the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks to lead to an increase in demand for our products. We believe
that the historical rise in the prison population has spurred demand from
institutional corrections facilities for law enforcement security products.

Vehicle Armor Market. Recent terrorist activities may accelerate the need
for armoring light military vehicles that will be utilized in hostile
environments in order to carry out mission objectives required by the U.S.
military's war on terrorism. As multinational corporations seek to implement
more comprehensive security programs, one area of focus will be executive
protection. We believe that the use of armored commercial vehicles in high
fright areas will increase as multinational corporations expand their
operations.

Specialized Security Services Market. Corporations are increasingly
contracting experienced private companies to handle their security services.
Industry studies demonstrate that the worldwide security services market has
grown at a rate of 8.0% annually from 1995 to 2000. Total revenues for the
worldwide market have reached $61.8 billion and is expected to continue to grow
to $87.9 billion by 2005. Management believes that demand by multinational
corporations and governmental agencies operating in developing nations for
security services such as risk assessment, crisis management, guard force
management, security force organization and executive protection is likely to
increase as these entities continue to establish operations and manufacturing
facilities in developed and developing countries. In addition, there are risks
related to white-collar crime and fraud. Demand for corporate investigative
services continues to grow as corporations react to the need to protect their
assets against the growing threat of fraud, counterfeiting and piracy of
intellectual property.

BUSINESS STRENGTHS

We believe that the following key strengths are critical to our success as
a leading provider of security products, vehicle armor systems and security
risk management services.

Broad Portfolio of Products and Services. We offer a broad portfolio of
security products, armor systems and security services enabling us to provide
comprehensive solutions to our customers' security needs. We strive to enhance
our position as a single source provider of global security services to our
clients and believe that our worldwide infrastructure enables us to follow our
governmental and multinational corporate clients to new geographical markets as
well as cross-sell additional services to these customers. Similarly, our
extensive product distribution network allows us to provide our customers a
broad array of complementary manufactured law enforcement equipment. Through
strategic acquisitions and internal growth, we expect to continue to expand our
product and service offerings and further diversify our revenue base.

Strong Brands with Leading Market Positions. Product lines are marketed
under brand names widely recognized in the military and law enforcement
communities, such as American Body Armor, NIK (Registered Trademark) , Defense
Technology, Federal Laboratories, MACE (Registered Trademark) , Safariland,
O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt,

and others. Due to the life protecting nature of the products in the markets
that we serve, end users prefer to purchase premium products with brand names
that have solid reputations for quality and that provide high levels of
performance. The strength of our brand names has contributed to our leading
market positions in several of the product categories in which we compete.

Strong Client Base and Extensive Distribution Network. Armor Holdings
Products has a broad, full service network of approximately 350 domestic
distributors and 150 international agents to sell our portfolio of manufactured
law enforcement equipment. The Armor Mobile Security Division's client base
includes governmental and private buyers and employs a global sales force to
market its commercial products. ArmorGroup Services has a global footprint and
currently operates in 38 countries that enables it to serve a client base
representing governmental and non-governmental agencies and approximately 500
multinational corporations worldwide. The quality and scope of our products and
the strength of our brand names has enabled us to establish one of the largest
distribution networks in the industry and engendered the loyalty of our
distributors. We work closely with our distributors and agents to respond to
and anticipate the needs of end users, which we believe allows us to maintain
our market leadership position. We believe that the diversity of our clients'
end markets, the continued globalization of our clients and the strength of our
distribution relationships minimize our dependence on any particular product,
market, or customer.

Proven Track Record of Identifying, Completing and Integrating
Acquisitions. Since January 1996, we have completed 27 acquisitions. We employ
a disciplined approach to evaluating acquisition opportunities and integrating
the operations of acquired businesses. We believe
that these acquisitions, in the aggregate, have strengthened our market
position, leveraged our distribution network and expanded our product and
service offerings. Further, we believe that our performance based compensation
plan enables us to retain strong managers of acquired businesses and provides
for timely and efficient integration of acquired operations.

Sole-Source Provider of Up-Armored HMMWVs. Through our Armor Mobile
Security Division, we are the sole-source provider of Up-Armored HMMWVs to the
U.S. military, as well as the armoring of the HIMARS cab, a program currently
in development for the U.S. Army. Contracted by the DoD, the Armor Mobile
Security Division (then part of a division of The Kroll-O'Gara Company)
delivered 377 HMMWVs in 2000, and expects to deliver approximately 500 in 2001.
We believe that deliveries for 2002 could be as high as 700 to 1,000 units,
based on recent inquiries from the DoD. This growth is driven by an increased
defense budget for procurement, heightened demand due to recent military
deployments and activation of U.S. Reserve and National Guard units, and the
potential of a long term, multi-front offensive against terrorism. Current U.S.
Army requirements call for approximately 7,500 Up-Armored HMMWVs that we expect
will be part of the military's mechanized forces through approximately 2030.
Aftermarket sales of spare parts and services/maintenance are also extremely
attractive, as we are the incumbent provider of the armoring on an installed
base of over 2,200 Up-Armored HMMWVs. We believe that our strength in this
product segment is significant and should drive future growth.

GROWTH STRATEGY

We expect the demand for security products, vehicle armor systems, and
security risk management services will continue to grow, especially given the
expected impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United
States. We plan to address this growth by offering a comprehensive array of
premium security risk management products and services. We intend to enhance
our leadership position through strategic acquisitions by creating a broad
portfolio of products and services to satisfy all of our customers'
increasingly complex security needs. By establishing a critical mass of
products and services and a broad base of customers, we have built in the
capacity to perform multiple aspects of our clients' threat analyses and
security provisions on a comprehensive basis. We plan to continue to execute
this growth strategy primarily through internal expansion of our existing
businesses and through strategic acquisitions of businesses offering
complementary services, markets, and customer bases. The following elements
define our growth strategy:

Capitalize on Exposure to Military Programs. We expect an increase in
volume for our current major military programs. The events of September 11,
2001 are expected to result in additional funds being allocated to the DoD. We
expect several of our military programs to be positively affected. These
include the Concealable Body Armor Program through which we supply concealable
body armor to the U.S. Army and the Special operation forces Personal Equipment
Advance Requirement ("SPEAR") program, which supplies special ballistic vests
and load bearing equipment to U.S. Special Forces. We also expect an increase
in the United States Tank Automotive Armored Command's HMMWV delivery
requirements. We are the sole-source provider to the U.S. military for the
supply of armor and blast protection to the HMMWVs. We are well positioned on
these programs and have a proven track record and a strong relationship with
the U.S. military. Additionally, we expect to participate in other existing and
future military programs that require our unique products and services.

Expand Distribution Network and Product Offerings. We will continue to
leverage our distribution network by expanding our range of branded law
enforcement equipment through the acquisition of niche defensive security
products manufacturers and by investing in the development of new and enhanced
products which complement our existing offerings. We believe that a broader
product line will enable us to strengthen our relationship with our
distributors and add additional quality distributors, and enhance our brand
appeal with military, law enforcement and other end users.

Capitalize on Increased Homeland Security Requirements. We are well
positioned to provide products, services and specialized training that are
essential to establishing a sustainable Homeland Security infrastructure. Due
to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the U.S.
government has created the Office of Homeland Security. Although this Office's
mandate is still being finalized, a Homeland Security infrastructure will be
developed. We believe that our three divisions are well equipped and prepared
to help build this infrastructure. Our Armor Holdings Products Division is
positioned to provide the products that additional military, law enforcement,
security and corrections personnel require to combat terrorism and threats to
our homeland. Our Armor Mobile Security Division is prepared for an expected
increase in armored commercial vehicles for use by federal, state and local
government agencies. The services provided by our ArmorGroup Services Division
are expected to be more sought after as U.S. government agencies and
corporations re-evaluate their security programs. For example, we expect to
leverage our global experience and reputation into domestic airport security
training.

Increase Global Position in High Fright Areas. We will service the
heightened security concerns of governments, agencies and corporations in
existing high fright areas. We will also leverage our global expertise and
reputation for providing security products and services in newly developing
high fright areas. We target regions that have economic and political
instability as well as regions with increased regulation, growth in prison
populations and growing national and regional security concerns. We also grow
the scope of our existing product and service offerings by servicing existing
customers who expand geographically.

Broaden Service Offerings to Existing Client Base. We will broaden our
existing service offerings through strategic acquisitions and develop a
comprehensive range of security risk management offerings with a global network
of service providers. We intend to continue to market our expanded offerings by
increasing penetration of our existing client base with sales of additional
services.

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. The security risk management products and
services industry is highly fragmented and characterized primarily by smaller,
geographically restricted single product or service providers. We believe,
however, that many clients in the industry would prefer to deal with a
consolidated entity that can provide a broad spectrum of services and/or
products in the security risk management industry with coverage of their needs
across entire regions, or globally. As a result, we selectively pursue
acquisitions that complement and expand our product and service offerings and
provide access to new geographic markets, additional distribution channels and
new client relationships.

ACQUISITIONS

We have pursued a strategy of growth by acquiring businesses and assets
that complement our existing operations. We use several criteria to evaluate
prospective acquisitions, including whether the business to be acquired:

o broadens the scope of the services or products we offer or the
geographic areas we serve;

o offers attractive margins;

o is accretive to earnings;

o offers the opportunity to enhance profitability by improving the
efficiency of our operations;

o is managed in a manner consistent with our existing businesses; and

o complements our portfolio of existing businesses by increasing our
ability to manage our customers' needs.

We exercise a high degree of financial discipline and strictly adhere to these
criteria. As a result, we do not enter into transactions that we believe would
be dilutive to our earnings. Since January 1996, we have consummated 27
acquisitions.

The Armor Holdings Products Division has acquired 11 companies since 1996.
The largest acquisition completed by this division was Safariland, a producer
of law enforcement products such as body armor, duty gear, and automotive
accessories in 1999. Safariland had approximately $47.0 million in annual
revenues at the time of acquisition. The Armor Mobile Security Division
completed the O'Gara Acquisition in August 2001. The Armor Mobile Security
Division provides ballistic and blast protection armoring systems and training
(training was integrated into the ArmorGroup Services Division). The businesses
acquired in the O'Gara Acquisition had approximately $112.4 million ($6.1 of
which relates to businesses integrated into our ArmorGroup Services Division)
in annual revenues at the time of acquisition. The ArmorGroup Services Division
has acquired 15 companies since 1996. The largest acquisition occurred in 1997
when DSL Group Limited, a security risk management and consulting services
firm, was acquired. DSL Group Limited had approximately $31.0 million in annual
revenues at the time of acquisition.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

ARMOR HOLDINGS PRODUCTS

Body Armor. We manufacture and sell a wide array of armor products under
the leading brand names American Body Armor, PROTECH and Safariland that are
designed to protect against bodily injury caused by bullets, knives and
explosive shrapnel. Our principal armor products are ballistic resistant vests,
sharp instrument penetration armor, hard armor such as anti-riot gear, shields
and upgrade armor plates, and bomb protective gear. Our line of ballistic
protective vests provides varying levels of protection depending upon the
configuration of ballistic materials and the standards (domestic or
international) to which the armor is built. We primarily sell ballistic
resistant vests, under the brand names Xtreme (Trade Mark) and Zero-G (Trade
Mark) . Our body armor products that are manufactured in the United States are
certified under guidelines established by the National Institute of Justice.

We offer two types of body armor, concealable armor and tactical armor.
Concealable armor, which generally is worn beneath the user's clothing, is our
basic line of body armor. These vests are often sold with a shock plate, which
is an insert designed to improve the protection of vital organs from sharp
instrument attack and to provide enhanced blunt trauma protection. Tactical
armor is worn externally and is designed to provide protection over a wider
area of a user's body and defeat higher levels of ballistic threats. The vests,
which are usually manufactured with hard armor ballistic plates that provide
additional protection against rifle fire, are designed to afford the user
maximum protection and may be purchased with enhanced protection against neck
and shoulder injuries. Tactical armor is offered in a variety of styles,
including tactical assault vests, tactical police jackets, floatation vests,
high coverage armor and flak jackets.

Our sharp instrument penetration armor is designed primarily for use by
personnel in corrections facilities and by other law enforcement employees who
are primarily exposed to threats from knives and other sharp instruments. These
vests are constructed with special blended fabrics, as well as flexible woven
fabrics and are available in both concealable and tactical models. In addition,
these vests can be combined with ballistic armor configurations to provide both
ballistic and sharp instrument penetration protection.

We manufacture several hard armor products under the PROTECH brand name.
PROTECH products include ballistic shields, and other personal protection
accessories and armor products for helicopters, automobiles and riot control
vehicles.

We also manufacture a variety of hard armor ballistic shields primarily
for use in tactical clearance applications. These shields are manufactured
using a variety of ballistic fibers, polyethylene ballistic materials,
ballistic steel, ballistic glass or a combination of any one or more of these
materials. Other hard armor products include barrier shields and blankets.
These products allow tactical police officers to enter high threat environments
with maximum ballistic protection.

Other specialty products that we manufacture include armored press vests,
executive vests, raincoats and fireman turnout coats. These specialty products
can be custom designed to provide various levels of ballistic protection. We
also distribute a variety of items manufactured by others, including gas masks,
helmets, goggles and face shields.

Duty Gear. We are a leading supplier of duty gear to law enforcement
personnel in the United States. Uniformed police officers require a wide
assortment of duty gear, which typically includes items such as belts, safety
holsters, handcuff and flashlight holders and related accessories. We
manufacture and sell duty gear and accessories under the widely recognized
brands Safariland (Safari-Laminate (Trade Mark) ) and NYLOK (Registered
Trademark) (nylon). Duty gear represents a very attractive market and one in
which brand appeal, safety and quality dictate demand. Replacement sales
represent significant recurring demand for duty gear.

Less-Lethal Products. Under the Defense Technology, First Defense (Trade
Mark), Federal Laboratories, MACE (Registered Trademark) and Guardian brands,
we manufacture and sell a complete line of less-lethal, anti-riot and crowd
control products designed to assist law enforcement and military personnel in
handling situations that do not require the use of deadly force. These
products, which generally are available for use only by authorized public
safety agencies, include pepper sprays, tear gas, specialty impact munitions
and diversionary devices. We are also the exclusive distributor of Mine Safety
Appliance Advantage 1000 and Millenium model gas masks in the United States.

Through the acquisition of the assets of the law enforcement division of
Mace Security International, Inc., we acquired the exclusive license to use the
MACE (Registered Trademark) brand in connection with the manufacturing and
sale of MACE (Registered Trademark) aerosol sprays to law enforcement entities
worldwide. We also manufacture pepper sprays containing the active ingredient
Oleoresin Capsicum, a cayenne pepper extract. Our pepper spray formula is
patented and carries the trademark name of First Defense (Trade Mark) . The
products range from small "key-ring" and hand held units to large volume
canisters for anti-riot and crowd control applications.

Our tear gases are manufactured using Orthochlorabenzalmalononitrile and
Chloroacetophenone. These products are packaged in hand held or launchable
grenades, both pyrotechnic and non-pyrotechnic, as well as in 37mm, 40mm and 12
gauge munitions. The munitions include barricade rounds, blast dispersions and
pyrotechnic canisters. We hold a patented design covering two of our
non-pyrotechnic grenades.

We manufacture a wide range of specialty impact munitions that can be used
against either individual targets or in anti-riot and crowd control situations.
These products, which range from single projectiles, such as bean bags, rubber
balls, sponge rounds, wood and rubber batons, to multiple projectile products
containing rubber pellets, rubber balls or foam, can be fired from standard 12
gauge shotguns, 37mm gas guns and 40mm launchers.

We also manufacture a patented and trademarked device that is used for
dynamic entries by specially trained forces where it is necessary to divert the
attention of individuals away from an entry area. This product, which carries
the trademark name of Distraction Device (Trade Mark), emits a loud bang and
brilliant flash of light when used.

Police Batons. We manufacture police batons of wood, alloy steel, acetate,
aluminum and polycarbonate products under our brand name Monadnock. Branded
products include our trademarked, patent pending new Auto-Lock (Trade Mark)
baton and our friction lock baton. Our batons are manufactured in a variety of
lengths for different intended users, including patrol officers, detectives,
corrections officers and other law enforcement personnel in smaller portable
units. We believe that our manufacturing specifications are the highest in the
marketplace and set the standard in the industry.

Forensic Products. We assemble and market portable narcotic identification
kits under the NIK (Registered Trademark) brand name that are used in the
field by law enforcement personnel to identify a variety of controlled
substances, including Ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine.
We also assemble and market evidence collection kits and evidence tape, and
have the exclusive rights to distribute Flex-Cuf (Registered Trademark)
disposable restraints.

We manufacture and distribute a more extensive line of evidence collection
equipment under our brand name Lightning Powder. These products, such as
fingerprint powders, dusting brushes, and lifting tape, are used to collect
latent fingerprints. Other supplies for evidence collection that we distribute
include bags, tapes, stone casting equipment and high powered, distortion free
magnifying glasses.

Weapon Maintenance Products. We manufacture synthetic based lubricants,
cleaners and preservative compounds for military weapon maintenance, law
enforcement, civilian firearms/sports equipment and industrial machinery. Our
flagship weapon maintenance product, Break Free CLP (Registered Trademark),
was specifically developed to provide reliable weapon lubrication in
battlefield conditions; remove firing residues, carbon deposits and other
firing contaminants; repel water and dirt and prevent corrosion; and keep
weapons combat ready and functional in steamy jungles, dust blown deserts,
salty air of sea and coast, and cold and icy climates.

Automotive Accessories. Through our Safariland subsidiary, we manufacture
and supply automotive accessories such as tire covers, seat covers, cargo
organizers and grill covers to automobile manufacturers, including Toyota,
Ford, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Kia and Subaru.

ARMOR MOBILE SECURITY

We provide ballistic and blast protection armoring systems for military
vehicles, commercial vehicles, military aircraft, and missile components,
including the following:

Military Products. We are the sole-source provider to the U.S. military
for the supply of armoring and blast protection systems for the HMMWV. The
HMMWV chassis is produced by AM General Corporation and shipped directly to our
facility in Fairfield, Ohio where armor and blast protection components are
added. The Up-Armored HMMWVs provide exterior protection against various levels
of armor piercing ammunition, overhead airburst protection and underbody blast
protection against anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. In addition, we install
other features designed to enhance crew safety, comfort and performance, such
as air conditioning, weapon turrets and mounts, door locks and shock absorbing
seats. We charge $70,000 to $110,000 for these ballistic and blast protective
systems. During 2000, the Armor Mobile Security Division (then part of a
division of The Kroll-O'Gara Company) shipped 377 Up-Armored HMMWVs. We also
supply engineering design and prototype services in support of the Up-Armored
HMMWV Program, and supply spare parts and logistic support.

We are serving as a subcontractor to develop a ballistically armored and
sealed truck cab for HIMARS, a program currently in development for the U.S.
Army. The truck is used to fire missiles which are a part of either the
Multiple Launch Rocket System or the Army Tactical Missile System.

We market armor sub-systems for other tactical wheeled vehicles, such as
2.5 ton and 5.0 ton trucks. We also produce various armor systems as a
subcontractor to larger defense contractors, such as Lockheed Martin
Corporation. These products include armor for containers for fuels and missile
launchers and for pilot protection, and often involve the use of unique
materials or methods.

Commercial Products. We armor a variety of vehicles, including limousines,
sedans, sport utility vehicles, commercial trucks and cash-in-transit vehicles,
to protect against varying degrees of ballistic and blast threats. The armoring
process begins with the disassembly of a new base vehicle. This disassembly
normally involves the removal of the interior trim, seats, doors and windows.
The passenger compartment then is armored with both opaque and transparent
armor. Other features, such as run flat tires and non-exploding gas tanks, also
may be added. Finally, the vehicle is reassembled as close to its original
appearance as possible. The types of commercial products produced are described
below. Our relationship with various vehicle manufacturers has been valuable in
permitting us to armor certain vehicles while allowing the customer to maintain
the benefits of warranties issued by the vehicle manufacturer. During 2000, the
Armor Mobile Security Division (then part of a division of The Kroll-O'Gara
Company) shipped approximately 1,132 commercial armored vehicles.

We produce fully armored vehicles and light armored vehicles. Fully
armored vehicles, such as limousines, large sedans or sport utility vehicles,
typically are armored to protect against attacks from military assault rifles
such as AK-47s and M16s. These vehicles also can be blast protected by
enhancing the ballistic and underbody protection with proprietary materials and
installation methods that protect the occupants against a defined blast threat.
Blast protected vehicles defend against threats such as pipe bombs attached to
the exterior of the vehicle and nondirectional charges of 20 kg of TNT
detonated approximately five meters from the vehicle. Fully armored vehicles
typically sell for $70,000 to $200,000 exclusive of the cost of the base
vehicle.

Fully armored vehicles also include Parade Cars, which are formal
limousines used predominantly for official functions by a president or other
head of state. These vehicles are usually customized based upon a commercially
available chassis which we essentially rebuild completely. Because the threat
of organized assassination attempts is greater for heads of state, these
vehicles normally incorporate more advanced armor and sophisticated protection
features. These features can include supplemental air and oxygen systems, air
purification systems to protect against chemical or biological contamination,
underbody fire suppressant systems, tear gas launchers, anti-explosive
self-sealing fuel tanks, electric deadbolt door locks, gun ports and bomb
scanners. Parade Cars normally sell for $300,000 to in excess of $1.0 million
inclusive of the cost of the base vehicle.

Light armored vehicles are similar in all respects to fully armored
vehicles except that substantially less total weight of armoring is added.
Therefore, it is possible to armor smaller vehicles such as the Volkswagen
Jetta and the General Motors Omega, as well as larger vehicles such as the
Mercedes Benz S600 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Light armored vehicles are
designed to protect against attacks from handguns, such as a 9mm or .357
Magnum. The price of a light armored vehicle ranges from $5,000 to $60,000
exclusive of the cost of the base vehicle.

We also produce specialty vehicles, cash-in-transit vehicles and
commercial truck bodies. Specialty vehicles are custom built for a specific
mission. Examples of specialty vehicles are Escort Cars, usually convertibles,
and Chase Cars, usually closed top vehicles, in which security personnel ride
while in a head of state motorcade. Cash-in-transit vehicles are used by banks
or other businesses to transport currency and other valuables. After starting
with a van or small truck, we modify the base vehicle to provide protection for
the cargo and passengers from ballistic and blast threats. We also build
commercial truck bodies. The truck bodies are manufactured primarily for 3.5
ton trucks and are installed on chassis produced by a variety of manufacturers.

risk and hostile environments characterized by political instability,
diminished law-and-order, emerging market conditions and/or significant natural
resources, such as Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the
Balkans and Russia. The core of our service business is the creation and

specializing in the design, integration, maintenance and technical support of
sophisticated electronic and computer driven security and fire alarm systems.
We specialize in high speed analog and digital transmission designs for life
safety, communication, alarm, closed circuit television, access control,
television and security systems. These systems are installed in airports,
banks, government buildings, hospitals, prisons, universities, stores, office
buildings, telecommunications centers, radio and television stations, and
similar locations. Our clients include multinational corporations, major
contractors, embassies, and high commissions.

Intellectual Property Asset Protection. We provide a full range of
consulting and investigative services specializing in worldwide intellectual
property asset protection for multinational corporations with products that
have valuable brand name recognition. Our services range from protecting
companies against counterfeiting, patent infringements, product tampering, gray
market distribution, and extortion to identifying unethical supplier activities
such as the use of child labor. These services are provided by professionals
with extensive backgrounds in related areas, including trade and customs law.
We offer brand protection and often work with our clients during product
development to establish trademark and patent protection strategies and work to
protect the brand throughout its lifecycle. Our clients include multinational
branded product companies involved in tobacco, sportswear, spirits, and
pharmaceuticals, as well as financial services and insurance companies.

Investigation and Due Diligence. We provide fraud investigation, asset
tracing, computer forensic, computer evidence consulting, due diligence,
litigation research, political risk analysis and other business intelligence
services to multinational and financial services companies worldwide. We rely
on our network of business intelligence contacts, many proprietary and public
databases, and our experience in gathering and deciphering hard to find
information. Our professionals have various backgrounds including experience in
financial, due diligence and foreign intelligence services. Our clients include
investment and commercial banks, insurance companies, law firms and other
multinational corporations.

Training. We offer comprehensive security training programs in
counterintelligence, countersurveillance, advanced driving techniques, and
ballistics at our facilities near Washington, D.C.,

San Antonio, Texas and Mexico City, Mexico and at customer designated
locations. We also offer security, counterintelligence and countersurveillance
training courses for both U.S. government agencies and clients in the private
sector. The training includes instruction on methods of recognizing and
deterring security risks. Students learn methodologies utilized by terrorists,
what information is needed by terrorists in order to plan an attack and how to
block or manipulate this flow of intelligence.

CUSTOMERS

Armor Holdings Products. In 2000, we sold approximately 83% of our
products in North America, with the balance sold internationally. The primary
end users of our products are federal, state and local law enforcement
agencies, local police departments, state corrections facilities, U.S. and
allied militaries, highway patrols and sheriffs' departments. We reach these
customers through a distribution strategy that utilizes a worldwide
distribution network of approximately 350 domestic distributors and 150
international agents, as well as 17 domestic regional sales managers who
promote our products but refer customers to a local distributor for purchasing.

Armor Mobile Security Division. The market for military hardware products
is worldwide in scope, including the U.S. military and foreign defense forces.
Our major contracts for delivery of Up-Armored HMMWVs are with the U.S.
military. We are also serving as a subcontractor to develop a ballistically
armored and sealed truck cab for HIMARS, a program currently in development for
use by the U.S. Army. Additionally, we provide protected container systems,
typically used to protect missile systems from small arms fire, to the U.S.
military under a subcontract with Lockheed Martin Corporation.

Our armored commercial vehicle customers include governmental and private
buyers. U.S. and foreign governmental buyers purchase both fully and
light-armored vehicles. Governmental buyers also comprise the market for Parade
Cars. Typically, governmental buyers consist of ministries of foreign affairs,
defense and internal affairs and offices of presidential security. These
customers are not constrained in their purchasing decisions by considerations
such as import duties and taxes and are free to search globally for the best
product available. The procurement cycles of governmental buyers can range from
relatively rapid, when the vehicles are for the use of the head of state or in
response to a particular crisis, to prolonged bureaucratic bids and evaluations
for normally budgeted items. Private customers for armored commercial vehicles
include corporations and individuals. Private buyers are much more sensitive to
cost, of which import duties and taxes may be a substantial part, and,
therefore, often will buy a locally produced product, if one exists that meets
their needs. Local servicing of the vehicle is also a critical concern to
private buyers. Customers for cash-in-transit vehicles are generally financial
institutions. Purchasing decisions for cash-in-transit vehicles depend on many
criteria including insurance and regulatory requirements and costs, and whether
the financial institution is private or governmental.

ArmorGroup Services. Our principal security services clients include
multinational corporations that have significant investments in remote and
hostile areas of the world. We currently serve clients in over 15 industries
including petrochemical, mining, branded products, financial services,
insurance and legal. Other significant clients include the U.S. Departments of
State and Defense, the United Nations, CARE International and a variety of
banking, finance, aid and humanitarian organizations and companies engaged in
international trade and commerce.

No customer accounted for more than 10% of total sales in Fiscal 2000. Our
ten largest customers accounted for approximately 19% of total sales for Fiscal
2000. These figures do not include sales by the Armor Mobile Security Division.
Approximately 32% of the Armor Mobile Security Division's net sales during 2000
were derived from U.S. military contracts and an additional 15% were derived
from commercial contracts with U.S. governmental agencies or foreign
governments. Military and governmental contracts generally are awarded on a
periodic or sporadic basis.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

Armor Holdings Products. As a result of our history of providing high
quality and reliable armor, tactical armor, hard armor, duty gear, less-lethal
munitions, anti-riot products and forensic

products, we enjoy excellent name recognition and a strong reputation in the
law enforcement equipment industry. The central element of our marketing
strategy is to capitalize on our name recognition and reputation amongst our
customers by positioning ourselves as a global provider of many of the premier
security risk management products and services that our customers may need. By
positioning ourselves in this manner, we can capitalize on our existing
customer base and our extensive global distribution network, maximize the
benefits of our long history of supplying security related products around the
world and leverage our leadership position in the security risk management
products and services markets. When entering a foreign market, we penetrate the
market by offering the most comprehensive range of products and services
available in the security industry. We tailor our marketing strategy to each
geographic area of the world and will often tailor our product offering by
country. There are opportunities for cross marketing of military and law
enforcement products, which could strengthen the image of each product group.
We believe that our ability to cross-market our security risk management
products and services will enhance our position as an integrated provider of an
extensive assortment of such products and services.

In addition, we have designed comprehensive training programs to provide
initial and continuing training in the proper use of our various products.
These training programs, offered by The Training Academy for Technology and
Tactics, are typically conducted by trained law enforcement and military
personnel that we hire for such purposes. Certain of our training programs also
contribute to revenues. Training programs are an integral part of our customer
service. In addition to enhancing customer satisfaction, we believe that they
also help breed customer loyalty and brand awareness, so that we may sell
additional products to the same customer. Our marketing efforts are further
augmented by our involvement with and support of several important law
enforcement associations, including the National Tactical Officer's
Association, the International Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors, the
American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers and the International Association
of Chiefs of Police.

We further reinforce distributor loyalty by offering price discounts to
high volume distributors. We believe that relationships with our distributors
are strong. The distributors benefit from their association with us due to the
quality our manufactured products, the scope of our product line, the high
degree of service we provide and the distributor's opportunity to participate
profitably in the sale of our products.

We seek to expand our distribution network. As we identify and acquire
businesses that fit strategically into our existing product and service
portfolio, we maximize our distribution network by offering additional products
and services. Recent acquisitions have opened new channels of global
distribution to parts of the world not previously penetrated and have enabled
us to more fully exploit our extensive access to multinational corporations,
whose security service needs in unstable countries may in the future require
security products that complement the services provided. The addition of these
new distribution channels will allow us to take advantage of our various units'
distribution networks by offering a wider variety of products, thereby
increasing operating efficiencies.

We are strategically selling our product on the World Wide Web. We have
created a secured website targeting government agencies exclusively.
GSA-Buy.com, launched in 2000, contains an on-line catalog and secured
transaction platform for all Armor Holdings Products Division General Services
Administration contracts. We are also selling a small array of our concealable
and competition holsters to the consumer market on Holsters.com. All of the
products offered on this website are targeted to consumer markets and do not
infringe on our strong relationships with our distributor network.

Armor Mobile Security Division. On a worldwide basis, the Armor Mobile
Security Division employs approximately 28 full-time sales professionals in
connection with its commercial sales. These employees operate out of
Washington, D.C.; Miami, Florida; Fairfield, Ohio; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Lamballe,
France; Mexico City, Mexico; Bogota, Colombia; and Geneva, Switzerland. All
personnel have a geographic and/or product-specific responsibility. In most
cases, the sales personnel also recruit and maintain sales agents or
distributors. The agents or distributors have geographic and product

specific agreements, and compensation in most cases is based upon a commission
arrangement. The sales personnel use a consultative approach when offering
solutions to customers' security problems. Sales cycles for commercial physical
security products can range from several months to a matter of days, depending
upon the product and the urgency associated with the security problem being
addressed. Physical security products which are readily available, such as the
fully armored Chevrolet Suburban, allow us to assist customers who have, or
believe they have, developed an immediate threat.

We are working with a number of the global cash transportation and
management companies to create exclusive supply agreements in order to provide
all of these companies with armored cash-in-transit vehicles in specific
countries or regions.

The Armor Mobile Security Division has positioned itself in the
marketplace as a commercial company with a military production capability. As
such, the Armor Mobile Security Division emphasizes its ability to develop new
products, or product adaptations, quickly and more cost effectively than
traditional defense contractors. In marketing its products to the military, the
Armor Mobile Security Division places strong emphasis on its superior antitank
and antipersonnel mine protection for the occupants of tactical wheeled
vehicles. We market our military products through a combination of trade show
exhibitions, print advertising in military-related periodicals and direct
customer visits. We emphasize the cross-marketing of military and commercial
products, which we believe strengthens the image of each product group. We have
also entered into exclusive teaming and joint marketing agreements with AM
General, the manufacturer of the basic HMMWV, for sales in the military and
commercial areas. These agreements designate the Armor Mobile Security Division
as the exclusive armorer to AM General for HMMWVs and allows us to benefit from
the AM General distribution network and save on certain costs, such as
exhibitions where both AM General and we otherwise would both show products. We
have also entered into an agreement with Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc. to
jointly develop the enhanced armoring and blast specifications for Stewart &
Stevenson's Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles.

Our military sales activities are directed toward identifying contract bid
opportunities with various U.S. government agencies and private enterprises
acting as prime contractors on government contracts and to making sales through
the Foreign Military Sales Program and directly to foreign military
organizations. We have two full time business development managers who are
responsible for this activity and also have contractual arrangements with
several outside consultants who assist the business development managers in
their activities. Proposal preparation and presentation for government projects
is done by a team which normally consists of program managers, a contracting
officer, a cost accountant and various manufacturing and engineering personnel.

ArmorGroup Services. As we have expanded our service offerings, more
active marketing has become an integral part of our growth efforts. In addition
to sourcing new business from client referrals, we continue to follow our
clients into new geographic areas where there exist significant security risks.
We rarely enter a country without a substantial contract for services already
in place. Once established in a country, we seek to expand our service
offerings and our customer base through active marketing. As we have integrated
new services, our professionals have increasingly relied on active marketing to
generate new business. We have fostered the cross selling of our services by
physically locating our professionals in common space and educating our
professionals about all of our service business lines. Further, a rebranding
effort has been completed in order to market our services under the ArmorGroup
brand. A comprehensive web presence has been established (www.armorgroup.com)
as a key marketing tool for the business and with potential to deliver risk
information services on-line. We are focusing on clients in high growth
industries where the need for investigation, brand protection and other
security services are critical to success. The industries we are targeting
include financial services, imaging supplies, insurance, natural resource
extraction, and global consumer brands.

PRODUCT MANUFACTURING AND RAW MATERIALS

The raw materials used in manufacturing ballistic resistant garments and
Up-Armored vehicles include various ballistic fibers such as Kevlar, Twaron,
SpectraShield, Zylon and Z-Shield. Kevlar is a

patented product of E.I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc. ("Du Pont") and is only
available from Du Pont and its European licensee. We purchase Twaron,
SpectraShield, Zylon and Z-Shield fibers directly from the manufacturers, and
from weaving companies who convert the raw fibers into ballistic fabric. We
believe that we enjoy a good relationship with these weaving companies.
However, if necessary, we believe that we could readily find replacement
weavers. We also use SpectraShield and Kevlar in our hard and vehicle armor
products. Additionally, we use polycarbonates, acrylics, ballistic quality
steel, ceramics, and ballistic glass. We are aware of multiple suppliers for
these materials and would not anticipate a significant impact if we were to
lose any suppliers. We do not manufacture equipment used in our security
systems integration business.

We purchase other raw materials used in the manufacture of our various
products from a variety of sources and additional sources of supply of these
materials are readily available. We also own several molds, which are used
throughout our less-lethal product line. In addition, we are working on the
development and certification of flat ballistic glass for use in HMMWVs. We
hope to certify glass that we manufacture with the military by the end of 2001,
and to be in production in early 2002.

We adhere to strict quality control standards and conduct extensive
product testing throughout our manufacturing process. Raw materials are also
tested to ensure quality. We have obtained ISO 9001 certification for, our
Wyoming manufacturing facility for less-lethal products, and our Safariland
facility in Ontario, California for body armor and duty gear holsters and
accessories. We have obtained ISO 9002 certification for our Westhoughton,
England manufacturing facility for body armor and high visibility garments. ISO
standards are promulgated by the International Organization of Standardization
and have been adopted by more than 100 countries worldwide. We obtain ISO
certification by successfully completing an audit certifying our compliance
with a comprehensive series of quality management and quality control
standards.

The Armor Mobile Security Division emphasizes engineering excellence and
has an extensive engineering staff. Design engineers use state-of-the-art
two-dimensional and three-dimensional computer aided design and engineering or
CAD/CAE systems in conjunction with coordinate measuring machines to develop
electronic models which generally are converted to solid models or prototypes.
Manufacturing engineers concentrate on improvements in the production process
and on overall cost reductions from better methods, fewer components and less
expensive materials with equal or superior quality. Applying these techniques,
over the years the Armor Mobile Security Division has been able to reduce both
the time and cost necessary to produce its armored vehicles. Our ballistic
engineer, in conjunction with our design and manufacturing engineers, develops
and tests new ballistic and blast protection systems that meet ever changing
threats. Advanced engineering is responsible for new product development in
conjunction with design engineering, manufacturing engineering and ballistic
engineering.

COMPETITION

The market for our products is highly competitive and we compete in a
variety of fields with competitors ranging from small businesses to
multinational corporations. In the body armor business, we compete by providing
superior design, engineering and production expertise in our line of
fully-integrated ballistic and blast protective wear. Our principal competitors
in this market include Point Blank Body Armor, Inc., Second Chance Body Armor,
Inc. and Rabin-Tex. In the less-lethal product industry we compete by providing
a broad variety of less-lethal products with unique features and formulations
which we believe afford us a competitive advantage over our competitors. The
principal competitive factors for all of our products are quality of
engineering and design, reputation in the industry, production capability and
capacity, price and ability to meet delivery schedules.

The markets for the Armor Mobile Security Division's products and services
are highly competitive. We compete in a variety of fields, with competitors
ranging from small businesses to multinational corporations. We believe that
the Armor Mobile Security Division's design, engineering and production
expertise in providing fully integrated ballistic and blast protected vehicles
gives it a competitive advantage over those competitors who provide protection
against only selected ballistic threats. The largest competitors on a worldwide
basis in the production of armored commercial

vehicles are DaimlerChrysler AG, which sells its armored Mercedes Benz products
on a special order basis as well as through its worldwide distribution system,
and BMW AG, which sells its products through its worldwide dealer distribution
system. In addition, there are a number of other vehicle armorers in Europe,
the Middle East and Latin America that armor primarily locally manufactured
automobiles. U.S.-based protected passenger automobile armorers include Moloney
Coachbuilders, Inc., Square One Armoring Services and Armet Armored Vehicles,
Inc. The principal competitive factors are price, quality of engineering and
design, production capability and capacity, ability to meet delivery schedules
and reputation in the industry. There are a large number of companies that
provide specific armoring packages for tactical wheeled vehicles, helicopters
and selected other military applications.

The security services industry is highly competitive, and we compete in a
variety of fields with competitors ranging from small business to multinational
corporations. Within the security services industry we compete on the basis of
the quality of services provided, ability to provide national and international
services and range of services offered, as well as price and reputation. Our
security services also face a wide variety of competition in different areas,
although there is no single organization that competes directly with us
globally. Our principal competitors in this market include The Wackenhut
Corporation, Securitas AB, Pinkerton's, Inc., Control Risks Group, Electronic
One and Tyco International, Ltd. and its subsidiary ADT. Our primary
competitors in supplying security services to the petrochemical and mining
industries are local security companies, in-house security programs and small
consultancy companies. Our primary competitors in the embassy and international
agency protection business are local companies and large manned guarding
companies including The Wackenhut Corporation, Securicor, and Group 4 Falk A/S.
As the countries within which we operate become more mature and stable,
competition is likely to increase.

suitable and adequate and afford sufficient manufacturing capacity for our
current and anticipated requirements. We believe that we have adequate
insurance coverage for our properties and their contents.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 4, 2001, we have a total of approximately 11,222 employees,
of which approximately 975 were employed at Armor Holdings Products, 737 were
employed at Armor Mobile Security, 9,500 were employed at ArmorGroup Services
and 10 employees were located at our corporate headquarters.

Approximately 27 employees employed by our Supercraft subsidiary are
represented by the General Municipal Boilermaker and Allied Trade Union. Also,
our Low Voltage Systems subsidiary has 3 employees covered under a collective
bargaining agreement and are represented by the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. None of our remaining employees are represented by unions
or covered by any collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced any
work stoppages or employee related slowdowns and believe that the relationship
with our employees is good.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

We currently own numerous issued U.S. and foreign patents and pending
patent applications relating to our product lines as well as several registered
and unregistered trademarks and service marks relating to our products and
services. The registered trademarks include FERRET (Registered Trademark), BREAK
FREE (Registered Trademark), DEF-TEC PRODUCTS (Registered Trademark),
DISTRACTION DEVICE (Registered Trademark), NIK(and Design) (Registered
Trademark), IDENTIDRUG (Registered Trademark), FEDERAL LABORATORIES (Registered
Trademark), FIRST DEFENSE (Registered Trademark) and O'GARA-HESS & EISENHARDT
ARMORING COMPANY (and Design) (Registered Trademark). We also have an exclusive
license to use the MACE (Registered Trademark) trademarks in the law enforcement
market. Although we do not believe that our ability to compete in any of our
product markets is dependent solely on our patents and trademarks, we do believe
that the protection afforded by our intellectual property provides us with
important technological and marketing advantages over our competitors. Although
we have protected our technologies to the extent that we believe appropriate,
the measures taken to protect our proprietary rights may not deter or prevent
unauthorized use of our technologies. In other countries, our proprietary rights
may not be protected to the same extent as in the United States.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

We are subject to federal licensing requirements with respect to the sale
in foreign countries of certain of our products. In addition, we are obligated
to comply with a variety of federal, state and local regulations, both
domestically and abroad, governing certain aspects of our operations and the
workplace. We are also regulated by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms as a result of our manufacturing of certain destructive devices and by
the use of ethyl alcohol in certain products. We also ship hazardous goods, and
in doing so, must comply with the regulations of the U.S. Department of
Transportation for packaging and labeling. We are also subject to certain
regulations promulgated by, among others, the U.S. Departments of Commerce and
State and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally, as a
government contractor, we are subject to rules, regulation and approvals
applicable to government contractors.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

We are subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing
the protection of the environment, including those regulating discharges to the
air and water, the management of wastes, and the control of noise and odors.
While we always strive to operate in compliance with these requirements, we
cannot assure you that we are at all times in complete compliance with all such
requirements. Like all companies, we are subject to potentially significant
fines or penalties if we fail to comply with environmental requirements.
Although we have made and will continue to make capital expenditures in order
to comply with environmental requirements, we do not expect material capital
expenditures for environmental controls in 2001. However, environmental
requirements are complex, change frequently, and could become more stringent in
the future. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that these requirements will not
change in a manner that will require material capital or operating expenditures
or will otherwise have a material adverse effect on us in the future.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a request for
information to us pursuant to Section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act in August 2001, regarding the possible
impact of our Casper, Wyoming tear gas facility on the environment. We have
responded to this request. The EPA's inquiry is in its initial stage, and we
cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

We are also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and
cleanup of environmental contamination. We may be subject to liability,
including liability for cleanup costs, if contamination is discovered at one of
our current or former facilities or at a landfill or other location where we
have disposed wastes. The amount of such liability could be material. We use
Orthochlorabenzalmalononitrile and Chloroacetophenone chemical agents in
connection with our production of tear gas. These chemicals are hazardous and
could cause environmental damage if not handled and disposed of properly.

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information regarding the selling
stockholders' beneficial ownership of our common stock as of December 4, 2001.

The beneficial ownership is calculated based on 24,903,671 shares of our
common stock outstanding as of December 4, 2001 and 30,503,671 shares of common
stock outstanding after completion of this offering. Beneficial ownership is
determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person
and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to
options held by that person that are currently exercisable within 60 days of
December 4, 2001 are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of each other person.
To our knowledge, except pursuant to applicable community property laws, the
persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect
to the shares set forth opposite such person's name.

=========

The underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the shares of the offered
common stock if any of these shares are purchased. If an underwriter defaults,
the purchase agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the
nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the purchase agreement may be
terminated.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or
to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect
of those liabilities.

The underwriters are offering the shares of our common stock, subject to
prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval
of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and
other conditions contained in the purchase agreement, such as the receipt by
the underwriters of officers' certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters
reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to
reject orders in whole or in part.

Offers and sales outside the United States, if any, will be made through
the underwriters' international broker-dealer affiliates.

COMMISSIONS AND DISCOUNTS

The representatives have advised us and the selling stockholders that the
underwriters propose initially to offer the shares of our common stock to the
public at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to
dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $.71 per share. The
underwriters may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess
of $.10 per share to other dealers. After the offering, the public offering
price, concession and discount may be changed.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount
and proceeds before expenses to Armor Holdings, Inc. and the selling
stockholders. This information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by
the underwriters of their overallotment option.

Proceeds, before expenses, to the selling stockholder $ 20.79 $ 10,395,000 $ 25,987,500

The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are
estimated at $1,250,000 and are payable by Armor Holdings, Inc.

OVERALLOTMENT OPTION

We and the selling stockholders have granted an option to the underwriters
to purchase up to 915,000 additional shares of our common stock at the public
offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise
this option for 30 days from the date of this prospectus solely to cover any
overallotments. If the underwriters exercise this option, each will be
obligated, subject to conditions contained in the purchase agreement, to
purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriter's
initial amount reflected in the above table.

NO SALES OF SIMILAR SECURITIES

We and the selling stockholders and our executive officers and directors
have agreed, subject to some limited exceptions, not to sell or transfer any of
our common stock for 90 days after the date of this prospectus without first
obtaining the written consent of Merrill Lynch. Specifically, we and these
other individuals have agreed not to directly or indirectly:

o offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any of our common stock;

o sell any option or contract to purchase any of our common stock;

o purchase any option or contract to sell any of our common stock;

o grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any of our common
stock;

o lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of our common stock;

o request a demand that we file a registration statement related to our
common stock; or

o enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in
part, the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock whether
any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of our
common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

This lock-up agreement applies to our common stock and to securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or repayable with, our
common stock. It also applies to our common stock owned now or acquired later
by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the
agreement later acquires the power of disposition.

The lock-up agreement does not apply to:

o any shares of our common stock issued by us upon the exercise of an
option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date
of this prospectus;

o any shares of our common stock issued or options to purchase our common
stock granted pursuant to employee benefit plans existing on the date of
this prospectus; or

o any shares of our common stock issued pursuant to any non-employee
director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan.

Merrill Lynch may in its sole discretion, at any time without notice,
consent to the release of all or any portion of the shares subject to lock-up
agreements. Merrill Lynch does not have any current intention to release shares
of our common stock subject to these lock-up agreements. Any determination to
release any shares subject to the lock-up agreements would be based on a number
of factors at the time of any such determination, possibly including, but not
limited to, the market price of our common stock, the liquidity of the trading
market for our common stock, general market conditions, the number of shares
proposed to be sold and the timing of the proposed sale.

ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION

Merrill Lynch will be facilitating Internet distribution for this offering
to certain of its Internet subscription customers. Merrill Lynch intends to
allocate a limited number of shares for sale to its online brokerage customers.
An electronic prospectus is available on the Internet website maintained by
Merrill Lynch. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information
on the Merrill Lynch website is not a part of this prospectus.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

The shares of our common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "AH."

NASD REGULATIONS

Because more than ten percent of the net proceeds of the offering may be
paid to members or affiliates of members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. participating in the offering, the offering will be
conducted in accordance with NASD Conduct Rule 2710(c)(8).

PRICE STABILIZATION AND SHORT POSITIONS

Until the distribution of the common stock is completed, SEC rules may
limit the underwriters from bidding for or purchasing our common stock.
However, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize the price
of the common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that
price.

The underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open
market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
and purchases to cover the positions created by short sales. Short sales
involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they
are required to purchase in the offering. "Covered" short sales are sales made
in an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional
shares from the issuer in the offering. The underwriters may close out any
covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional
shares or purchasing shares in an open market. In determining the source of
shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider,
among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open
market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the
overallotment option. "Naked" short sales are any sales in excess of such
option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing
shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created
if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the
price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely
affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist
of various bids for or purchase of our common stock made by the underwriters in
the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters' purchases to
cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining
the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in
the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common
stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open
market.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of the common stock. In addition, neither
we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the
representatives or the lead manager will engage in these transactions or that
these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS

Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in
the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the
ordinary course of business with us. They have received customary fees and
commissions for these transactions.

First Union Securities, Inc., one of the underwriters, is an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation. Wachovia Corporation conducts
its investment banking, institutional, and capital markets businesses through
its various bank, broker-dealer and nonbank subsidiaries (including First Union
Securities, Inc.) under the trade name of Wachovia Securities. Any references
to Wachovia Securities in this prospectus, however, do not include Wachovia
Securities, Inc., a member

of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Security
Investor Protection Corporation and a separate broker-dealer subsidiary of
Wachovia Corporation and an affiliate of First Union Securities, Inc., which
may or may not be participating as a selling dealer in the distribution of the
securities offered by this prospectus.

First Union National Bank, an affiliate of First Union Securities, Inc.,
is a lender under our Credit Agreement. We intend to use proceeds from this
offering to repay our credit facility.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Armor Holdings, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive
income, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Armor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We did not audit the 1998 financial statements of Defence Systems
Colombia S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total
revenues of $13,266,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Those statements
were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us,
and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for Defence Systems Colombia S.A. is based solely on the report of the other
auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF BUSINESS: Armor Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or
"Armor") is a global provider of security risk management services and products
to multi-national corporations, governmental agencies and law enforcement
personnel through two operating divisions -- Armor Holdings Products and
ArmorGroup Services.

Armor Holdings Products Division. Armor Holdings Products division
manufactures and sells a broad range of high quality branded law enforcement
equipment, such as ballistic resistant vests and tactical armor, hard armor,
less lethal munitions, police batons, forensic, fingerprint and evidence
collection equipment, anti-riot products including tear gas and distraction
grenades, narcotics identification kits, custom-built armored vehicles,
specialty lubricants, cleaners and preservatives and military weapon maintenance
systems and holsters and duty gear. These products are marketed under brand
names that are well-known and respected in the law enforcement community such as
American Body Armor, Safariland, Defense Technology, Federal Laboratories, MACE
(Registered Trademark), PROTECH, NIK (Registered Trademark) Public Safety,
Break-Free, Monadnock Lifetime Products and Lightning Powder. Armor Holdings
Products division sells manufactured products primarily to law enforcement
agencies through a worldwide network of over 500 distributors and sales agents
including approximately 350 in the United States. Extensive distribution
capabilities and commitment to customer service and training have enabled the
Company to become a leading provider of security equipment to law enforcement
agencies.

ArmorGroup Services Division. ArmorGroup Services division provides a
broad range of sophisticated security risk management solutions to
multi-national corporations in diverse industries such as natural resources,
financial services and consumer products, and to governmental and
non-governmental agencies such as the U.S. Department of State, the United
Nations and the World Bank. Clients typically have personnel and other
investments in unstable and often violent areas of the world. Through
ArmorGroup Services offices on five continents, ArmorGroup Services provides
its multi-national clients with a diversified portfolio of security solutions
to assist them in mitigating risks in their operations around the world.
ArmorGroup Services' highly trained, multi-lingual and experienced security
personnel work closely with our clients to create and implement solutions to
complex security problems. These services include the design and implementation
of risk management plans and security systems, provision of security
specialists and training of security personnel. ArmorGroup Services provides
its multi-national clients with specialized investigative services enhanced by
its global network. These services include intellectual property asset
protection and related investigative services ranging from protecting companies
against counterfeiting, patent infringements, product tampering and extortion
to identifying unethical supplier activities. In addition, ArmorGroup Services
provides business intelligence, fraud investigation, computer forensic and
asset tracing and recovery services to financial services companies, law firms
and other entities worldwide.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In
consolidation, all material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. Results of operations of companies acquired in transactions
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting are included in the
financial statements from the dates of the acquisition.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid
investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash
and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its
cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be various high quality
banks. Amounts held in individual banks may periodically exceed, for brief time
periods, federally insured amounts. The Company's accounts receivable consist
of amounts due from customers

F-7

ARMOR HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

and distributors located throughout the world. International product sales
generally require cash in advance or confirmed letters of credit on United
States ("U.S.") banks. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit
losses. As of December 31, 1999 and 2000, management believes that the Company
had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying value of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and
short and long-term debt approximates fair value at December 31, 1999 and 2000.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Upon disposal of property and equipment, the
appropriate accounts are reduced by the related cost and accumulated
depreciation. The resulting gains and losses are reflected in consolidated
earnings. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated lives of the related assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements ......... 5 - 39 years
Machinery and equipment ............ 3 - 7 years

GOODWILL: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase business combination.
Goodwill and other intangible assets are stated on the basis of cost and are
amortized, principally on a straight-line basis, over the estimated future
periods to be benefited (20 to 40 years).

PATENTS, LICENSES AND TRADEMARKS: Patents, licenses and trademarks were
acquired through acquisitions accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. Such assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
remaining lives of 10 to 40 years.

REORGANIZATION VALUE IN EXCESS OF AMOUNTS ALLOCABLE TO IDENTIFIABLE
ASSETS: This intangible asset, included in other assets, is amortized on a
straight-line basis over twenty-five years. The net asset at December 31, 1999
and 2000 amounted to approximately $1,511,000 and $1,355,000, respectively.

IMPAIRMENT: Long-lived assets including certain identifiable intangibles,
and the goodwill related to those assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
asset in question may not be recoverable including, but not limited to, a
deterioration of profits for a business segment that has long-lived assets, and
when other changes occur which might impair recovery of long-lived assets.
Management has reviewed the Company's long-lived assets and has determined that
there are no events requiring impairment loss recognition. The method used to
determine the existence of an impairment would be undiscounted operating cash
flows estimated over the remaining amortization period for the related
long-lived assets. Impairment is measured as the difference between fair value
and unamortized cost at the date impairment is determined.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Research and development costs are included in
operating expenses as incurred and for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999
and 2000, approximated $738,000, $1,559,000, and $2,590,000, respectively.

ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of
the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the carrying value
of long-lived assets, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories and
deferred income tax assets, liabilities for potential litigation claims and
settlements; and contract contingencies and obligations. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

F-8

ARMOR HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Under the asset and liability method specified thereunder, deferred
taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities are offset by
deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards and deductible
temporary differences. Future benefits obtained from utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards or from the reduction in the income tax asset
valuation allowance existing on September 20, 1993 have been and will be
applied to reduce reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets. At December 31, 1999 and 2000, the Company's consolidated
foreign subsidiaries have unremitted earnings of approximately $6 million and
$10 million, respectively on which the Company has not recorded a provision for
United States Federal income taxes since these earnings are considered to be
permanently invested. Such foreign earnings have been taxed according to the
regulations existing in the countries in which they were earned.

REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company records service revenue as the service is
provided on a contract by contract basis. Revenues are recorded at the time of
shipment of products or performance of services. Revenues from service
contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Returns are minimal and
do not materially effect financial statements.

ADVERTISING: The Company expenses advertising costs as expense in the
period in which they are incurred.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding compounding the effects of all potentially
dilutive common stock equivalents, principally options, except in cases where
the effect would be anti-dilutive.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: In accordance with
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", assets and liabilities
denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the
current rate of exchange existing at year-end and revenues and expenses are
translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The cumulative translation
adjustment, net of tax, which represents the effect of translating assets and
liabilities of the Company's foreign operations is recorded as a reduction of
equity of $1,351,000 and $1,684,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
2000, respectively, and is classified as accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The current year change in the accumulated amount, net of tax, is included as a
component of comprehensive income.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998
and 1999 financial statements in order to conform to the presentation adopted
for 2000. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or retained
earnings.

AICPA STATEMENT OF POSITION 98-5 (SOP 98-5): The Company adopted the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of
Position SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities", on January
1, 1999. SOP 98-5 requires the expensing of start-up costs, defined as
pre-opening, pre-operating and pre-contract type costs. The adoption of SOP
98-5 did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company adopted SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin: No. 101 (SAB No. 101) -- Revenue Recognition. The reporting
requirements under SAB No. 101 did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

F-9

ARMOR HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

The Company will adopt SFAS 133. "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, on January 1,
2001. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an
asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes
in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless
specific hedge accounting criteria are met. the Company does not currently have
derivative instruments and accordingly, SFAS 133, as amended, is not expected
to impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"),
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation -- an
Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25." FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB
Opinion No. 25 and, among other issues, clarifies the following: the definition
of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for
determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting
consequence of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock
options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation
awards in a business combination. The adoption of FIN 44 did not have an impact
on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company has completed numerous purchase business combinations for cash
and/or shares of the Company's common stock and assumption of liabilities in
certain cases. In the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, the

(a) CREDIT FACILITY -- On February 25, 2000, the Company amended its existing
credit agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Inc. ("CIBC"),
Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA"), First Union National Bank ("First Union")
and SunTrust Bank, North Florida, N.A. ("SunTrust") as lenders, BofA as
Documentation Agent, and CIBC as Administrative Agent (the "Credit
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, as amended, the several
lenders established a five-year $100,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit
Facility") for the Company's benefit. the Company's indebtedness under the
Credit Facility is evidenced by Five Year (three years remaining) Revolving
Credit Notes of up to $100,000,000. All borrowings under the Credit
Facility bear interest at either (1) the base rate, plus an applicable
margin ranging from .000% to .375% depending on certain conditions, or the
eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.875%
depending on certain conditions. In addition, the Credit Facility provides
that BofA will make swing-line loans of up to $5,000,000 available to the
Company to be used by the Company for working capital purposes. CIBC, Inc.
and BofA will also issue letters of credit of up to $10,000,000 to the
Company. At December 31, 2000, the Company had $32,980,770 outstanding
under the line of credit and approximately $3,804,000 outstanding in
letters of credit. The Company had no such borrowing outstanding at
December 31, 1999.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

As part of the credit agreement, all of the Company's direct and indirect

outstanding shares of stock of certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company
pursuant to a pledge agreement and (2) a pledge of 65% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Company's foreign subsidiary, Armor Holdings Limited,
organized under the laws of England and Wales. In addition, the Company is

million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 respectively.

7. INTEGRATION AND OTHER NON-RECURRING ITEMS

As a result of its acquisition program, the Company incurred integration
costs of approximately $2.6 million and $3.3 million for the years ending
December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. These costs related to the relocation
of assets and personnel, severance costs, systems integration, domestic and
international tax restructuring as well as integrating the sales and marketing
functions for the companies acquired during the period.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS: The Company is party to several employment contracts
at year ending December 31, 2000 with certain members of management. Such
contracts are for varying periods and include restrictions on competition after
termination. These agreements provide for salaries, bonuses and other benefits
and also specify and delineate the granting of various stock options.

LEGAL/LITIGATION MATTERS: On January 16, 1998, our ArmorGroup Services
division ceased operations in the country of Angola. The cessation of
operations in Angola was dictated by that government's decision to deport all
of our expatriate management and supervisors. As a result of the cessation of
operations in Angola, our Armor Group Services division is involved in various
disputes with SHRM S.A.("SHRM"), its minority joint venture partner relating to
the Angolan business. On March 6, 1998, SIA (a subsidiary of SHRM) filed a
complaint against Defense Systems France, SA ("DSF") before the Commercial
Court of Nanterre (Tribunal de Commerce de Nanterre) seeking to be paid an
amount of $577,286 corresponding to an alleged debt of DSIA to SIA. On, June
27, 2000, the judge of the Paris Commercial Court ruled SHRM did not provide
evidence required to establish its standing and the proceedings brought by SHRM
were cancelled. On October 3, 2000, a winding up petition was served by DSF
against DSIA. On October 31, 2000, SHRM filed a counterclaim seeking to have
this winding up petition dismissed. On November 28, 2000, SHRM appealed the
judgement rendered by the Paris Commercial Court on June 27, 2000, claiming
that the Paris Commercial Court

F-13

ARMOR HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

no longer has jurisdiction over the case. The procedure before the Nanterre
Commercial Court is still pending, awaiting a decision on the liquidation of
DSIA.

SETTLEMENTS: In November of 2000, without either admitting or denying the
accusations, the Company settled its lawsuit with Second Chance Body Armor,
Inc. and other lawsuits for approximately $2.0 million, including legal costs.
The dispute that led to the Second Chance Body Armor lawsuit was filed in 1994
and related to allegations of trademark infringement that were purported to
have occurred during the period 1984 to 1994.

OTHER: In addition to the above, the Company, in the normal course of
business, is subjected to claims and litigation in the areas of product and
general liability. Management believes it has adequate insurance coverage in
the areas of product and general liability. Management does not believe any of
such claims will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

9. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

At December 31, 1999, the Company had a 20% investment in Jardine
Securicor Gurkha Services Limited ("JSGS") for which the equity method of
accounting for investments was used. On May 31, 2000, the Company sold its
investment in JSGS for a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.7 million included in
other income. The Company recognized equity in earnings of investee of $87,000
for the five months ended May 31, 2000, the date of the sale.

10. INFORMATION CONCERNING BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHICAL SALES

The Company is a leading global provider of security risk management
services and products to multi-national corporations, governmental agencies and
law enforcement personnel through two operating divisions -- ArmorGroup
Services and Armor Holdings Products. The ArmorGroup Services division provides
sophisticated security planning and risk management, electronic security
systems integration, consulting and training services, as well as intellectual
property asset protection, business intelligence and investigative services.
The Armor Holdings Products division manufactures and sells a broad range of
high quality branded law enforcement equipment.

The Company has invested substantial resources outside of the United
States and plans to continue to do so in the future. Substantially all of the
operations of the services segment is conducted in emerging markets in Africa,
Asia and South America. These operations are subject to the risk of new and
different legal and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions, tariffs and
trade barriers, potential difficulties in staffing and managing local
operations, potential imposition of restrictions on investments, potentially
adverse tax consequences, including imposition or increase of withholding and
other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries, and local
economic, political and social conditions. Governments of many developing
countries have exercised and continue to exercise substantial influence over
many aspects of the private sector. Government actions in the future could have
a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in a developing country or
may otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operating
companies. The Company does not have political risk insurance in the countries
in which it currently conducts business. Moreover, applicable agreements
relating to the Company's interests in it operating companies are frequently
governed by foreign law. As a result, in the event of a dispute, it may be
difficult for the Company to enforce its rights. Accordingly, the Company may
have little or no recourse upon the occurrence of any of these developments.

Revenues, income from operations (before amortization, equity in earnings,
integration expenses and interest income, net) and total assets for each of our
segments for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, were as follows:

statutory income tax rate to the provision for income taxes recorded in the
income statement for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000:

1998 1999 2000
---------- ---------- ----------

The decrease in effective tax rate indicated above for foreign taxes is a
result of the Company's re-estimation of foreign tax liabilities and the
related U.S. liability as a result of the Company's execution of certain
reorganization and other strategic plans.

12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Effective with the change in control of the Company by Kanders Florida
Holdings, Inc. on January 18, 1996, the utilization of the United States
portion of the NOL became restricted to approximately $300,000 per year. As of
December 31, 2000, the Company had U.S. and foreign NOLs of approximately
$10,400,000. The U.S. portion of the net NOLs expire in varying amounts in
fiscal years 2006 to 2019. At December 31, 2000, the Company also has tax
credits of $426,000 subject to certain limitations due to the acquisition of
Safariland, LTD. These credits will expire in varying amounts in fiscal years
to 2019.

PREFERRED STOCK: On July 16, 1996, the Company's shareholders authorized a
series of preferred stock with such rights, privileges and preferences as the
Board of Directors shall from time to time determine. The Company has not
issued any of this preferred stock.

STOCK OPTIONS AND GRANTS: In 1994, the Company implemented an incentive
stock plan and an outside directors' stock plan. These plans collectively
provide for the granting of options to certain key employees as well as
providing for the grant of common stock to outside directors and to all full
time employees. Pursuant to such plans, 1,050,000 shares of common stock were
reserved and made available for distribution. The option prices of stock which
may be purchased under the incentive stock plan are not less than the fair
market value of common stock on the dates of the grants. Effective January 19,
1996, all stock grants awarded under the 1994 incentive stock plan were
accelerated and considered fully vested.

In 1996, the Company implemented an incentive stock plan and an outside
directors' stock plan. These plans collectively provide for the granting of
options to certain key employees and directors. Pursuant to such plans, as
amended, 2,200,000 shares of common stock were reserved and made available for
distribution. The option prices of stock which may be purchased under the
incentive stock plan are not less than the fair market value of common stock on
the dates of the grants.

During 1998, the Company implemented a new non-qualified stock option
plan. Pursuant to the new plan, 725,000 shares of common stock were reserved
and made available for distribution. On January 1, 1999, the Company
distributed all 725,000 shares allocated under the plan. In 1999, the Company
implemented the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The Company
reserved 2,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan
provides for the granting to employees, officers, directors, consultants,
independent contractors and advisors of the Company. The option prices of stock
which may be purchased under the 1999 Plan are not less than the fair market
value of common stock on the dates of the grants.

ARMOR HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 establishes a fair value
based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans;
however, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for
those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized
over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Under the
intrinsic value based method, compensation costs is the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or other measurement date
over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has
elected to continue to account for its employee stock compensation plans under
APB Opinion No. 25 with pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per
share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123
had been applied.

If compensation cost for stock option grants had been determined based on
the fair value on the grant dates for 1998 1999 and 2000 consistent with the
method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per
share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

1998 1999 2000

(IN THOUSANDS,

Net earnings ....................... As reported $ 8,596 $ 13,196 $ 17,048

Diluted earnings per share ......... As reported $ 0.50 $ 0.61 $ 0.73
Pro Forma $ 0.45 $ 0.52 $ 0.70

Under SFAS 123, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000:

1998 1999 2000

Expected life of option .......... 3 yrs 3 yrs 4 yrs
Dividend yield ................... 0% 0% 0%
Volatility ....................... 31.9% 35.8% 30.9%

The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1998, 1999 and
2000 are as follows:

1998 1999 2000

In October 1997, the Company formed a 401(k) plan, (the "Plan") which
provides for voluntary contributions by employees and allows for a

NOTE 5 DEBT

Credit Facility - On August 22, 2001, the Company entered into an Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America,
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, First Union National Bank, Suntrust Bank,
Republic Bank, Keybank National Association, and ING (U.S.) Capital LLC.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders established a $120,000,000 line
of credit for our benefit expiring on February 12, 2004. The Credit Agreement,
among other things, provides for (i) total aggregate maximum borrowings of
$120,000,000 and (ii) the capability for borrowings in foreign currencies. All
borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either (i) a base rate,
plus an applicable margin ranging from .000% to .375%, depending on certain
conditions, (ii) a eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from
1.125% to 1.875%, depending on certain conditions, or (iii) with respect to
foreign currency loans, a fronted offshore currency rate, plus an applicable
margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.875%, depending on certain conditions.
Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable
rate, currently 5.48% per annum. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides
that Bank of America will make swing-line loans to us of up to $5,000,000 for
working capital purposes only and will issue letters of credit on our behalf of
up to $20,000,000. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $82.7 million
outstanding under the line of credit and approximately $10 million outstanding
in letters of credit leaving approximately $27.3 million in availability under
the Credit Agreement. The Company also had approximately $6.9 million of other
long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations, net of current portion,
consisting primarily of $4.2 million of industrial revenue bonds. All
indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will mature on February 12, 2004, which
will bring the Company's expected 2004 maturities to approximately $83.6
million.

As part of the Credit Agreement, all of the Company's direct and indirect
domestic subsidiaries agreed to guarantee the Company's obligations under the
Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by (1) a pledge of all
of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of certain domestic subsidiaries
of the Company pursuant to a pledge agreement and (2) a pledge of 65% of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company's first tier foreign subsidiaries.

for a credit facility of this nature, such as a limitation on capital
expenditures, foreign indebtedness, minimum fixed charge coverage and a
restriction against paying dividends.

On August 22, 2001, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary,
acquired all of the outstanding stock of O'Gara-Hess Eisenhardt Armoring

Group (which is referred to below as "SPSG") of The Kroll-O'Gara Company
("Kroll"). In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid $52.2 million,
of which $37.2 million was paid in cash and $15 million was paid by issuing to
Kroll-O'Gara 1,009,422 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") and
has recorded $33.5 million in goodwill related to the acquisition. The entire
cash portion of the transaction was paid by drawing down on the Company's
revolving credit facility.

The Company also deposited an additional $1.5 million in cash with an
escrow agent, to be held and distributed by the escrow agent pursuant to the
terms of an Escrow Agreement entered into between the Company and Kroll. The
Company also agreed to pay Kroll up to $2.0 million in contingent deferred
consideration if O'Gara achieves certain gross profit targets for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2001.

The results of SPSG have been included in the Company's results since
August 22, 2001. The unaudited consolidated results of operations of the
Company on a pro forma basis as if the Company had consummated the acquisition

NOTE 7 RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In January 2001, the Company's ArmorGroup Services division approved a
restructuring plan to close its U.S. investigative businesses, realign the
division's organization, eliminate excess facilities and reduce overhead in its
businesses worldwide. In connection with this restructuring plan, the division
performed a review of its long-lived assets to identify potential impairments.
Pursuant to this restructuring plan, ArmorGroup i) eliminated 26 employees,
primarily from its investigative businesses, ii) eliminated an additional 24
employees from its security business, iii) incurred lease and other exit costs
as a result of the closure of its investigative businesses, and iv) wrote-down
the value of both tangible and intangible assets as a result of the impairment
review. Most of the significant actions contemplated by the restructuring plan
have been completed.

As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company has recorded a pre-tax
charge of $10 million. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had a remaining
liability of $382,000 relating to lease termination and other exit costs after
current quarter utilization of the reserves for employee termination costs
($569,000) and lease related costs ($346,000). This liability has been
classified in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheet and will be funded through cash provided by
operating activities and the Company's credit facility. A summary of the
restructuring charges and the remaining accrual follows:

name O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt, the Company is the sole-source provider to the
U.S. military for the supply of armoring and blast protection systems as well
as maintenance services for the High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle
(HMMWV, commonly known as the Humvee). Additionally, the Company has been
subcontracted to develop a ballistically armored and sealed truck cab for the
High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) currently in development for the
U.S. Army. The Company armors a variety of commercial vehicles including
limousines, sedans, sport utility vehicles, commercial trucks and

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)

The Company has invested substantial resources outside of the United
States and plans to continue to do so in the future. Significant operations of
ArmorGroup Services division are conducted in certain emerging markets in
Africa, Asia and South America, while the Armor Mobile Security division has
invested substantial resources in Europe and South America. These operations
are subject to the risk of new and different legal and regulatory requirements
in local jurisdictions, tariffs and trade barriers, potential difficulties in
staffing and managing local operations, potential imposition of restrictions on
investments, potentially adverse tax consequences, including imposition or
increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by
subsidiaries, and local economic, political and social conditions. Governments
of many developing countries have exercised and continue to exercise
substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector. Government
actions in the future could have a significant adverse effect on economic
conditions in a developing country or may otherwise have a material adverse
effect on the Company and its operating companies. The Company does not have
political risk insurance in the countries in which it currently conducts
business. Moreover, applicable agreements relating to the Company's interests
in it operating companies are frequently governed by foreign law. As a result,
in the event of a dispute, it may be difficult for the Company to enforce its
rights. Accordingly, the Company may have little or no recourse upon the
occurrence of any of these developments.

NOTE 10 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141), and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS
142). SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under a
single method -- the purchase method. Use of the pooling-of-interest method is
no longer permitted. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires, among
other things, that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead
reviewed for impairment annually. Under SFAS 142, the amortization of goodwill
ceases upon adoption of the statement, which will become effective for the
Company on January 1, 2002. The Company has historically amortized its goodwill
over its estimated useful lives. Under SFAS 142, the amortization of goodwill
resulting from acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001 will cease to be amortized
effective January 1, 2002. The goodwill resulting from acquisitions made by the
Company subsequent to June 30, 2001 is immediately subject to the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142. The effects of adopting these
standards have not been completely determined.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS 143).
SFAS 143 establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset
retirement cost. SFAS 143 requires the recognition of the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. If a reasonable
estimate of fair value cannot be made in the period the asset retirement
obligation is incurred, the liability shall be recognized when a reasonable
estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation is the amount at which that liability could be settled in
a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced
or liquidation transaction. SFAS 143 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The provisions of SFAS
143 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The effects of
adopting this standard have not been determined.

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets" (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 establishes a "primary-asset" approach to
determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities
that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and
used. SFAS 144 requires that a long-lived asset to be (1) abandoned, (2)
exchanged for a similar productive asset, or (3) distributed to owners in a
spin-off be considered held and used until it is abandoned, exchanged, or
distributed. SFAS 144 requires (1) that spin-offs and exchanges of similar
productive assets to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value,
and that such assets be classified as held and used until disposed of and (2)
that any impairment loss resulting from a spin-off or exchange of similar
productive assets be recognized when the asset is disposed of. The provisions
of SFAS 144 will be come effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. The
effects of adopting this standard have not been determined.

NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 30, 2001, the Company announced that it filed a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the proposed
offering of 5.0 million common shares that includes 4.5 million shares to be

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To The Kroll-O'Gara Company:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of THE SECURITY
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP (a wholly-owned segment of The Kroll-O'Gara Company
-- see Note 1) as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the related combined
statements of operations, parent's equity in segment and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Security
Products and Services Group as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

As explained in Note 2(o) to the combined financial statements, effective in
the first quarter of 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting for
costs of start-up activities.

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Security Products and Services Group (SPSG or the Company) is a
wholly-owned segment of The Kroll-O'Gara Company (Kroll-O'Gara).

On April 20, 2001, the Board of Directors of Kroll-O'Gara approved a
definitive agreement, subject to a limited number of closing conditions, to
sell the common stock of the active companies that comprise Kroll-O'Gara's
SPSG segment, other than SPSG's subsidiaries that provide kidnap and ransom
and risk information services, SPSG's Russian subsidiaries and certain
other inactive companies, to Armor Holdings, Inc. (Armor) for up to $56.5
million. The accompanying SPSG combined financial statements and footnotes
exclude the subsidiaries that provide kidnap and ransom and risk
information services as they will continue to be operated by Kroll-O'Gara
after the sale of SPSG. The Russian subsidiaries and certain other inactive
companies are included within the accompanying combined financial
statements as they have historically been included within the SPSG segment
and might not be operated by Kroll-O'Gara after the sale. The Russian
subsidiaries and certain other inactive companies had combined total assets
of approximately $3.0 million at December 31, 2000 and net revenues of
approximately $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Of the $56.5 million sales price, a portion ($53.0 million subject to
adjustment) is to be paid at closing, currently expected to occur late in
the second quarter or in the third quarter of 2001. An escrow of $1.5
million will be maintained and a deferred payment of up to $2.0 million may
be made based on the Company's achievement of a gross profit target for the
year ending December 31, 2001. At Armor's option, up to $15.0 million of
the purchase price can be paid in registered common stock of Armor. The
purchase price will be reduced dollar-for-dollar to the extent tangible net
assets, as defined, are less than approximately $37.4 million. Kroll-O'Gara
currently believes the sale of SPSG will approximate the value of parent's
equity in segment. In the event the sale to Armor is not consummated,
Kroll-O'Gara will continue to evaluate all options available to it,
including seeking other buyers or other alternatives.

The accompanying combined financial statements are presented on a carve-out
basis and include the historical results of operations and assets and
liabilities of the SPSG entities as noted above. These combined financial
statements have been prepared from Kroll-O'Gara's historical accounting
records.

SPSG was allocated $2.5 million, $3.9 million and $4.5 million of overhead
costs related to Kroll-O'Gara's corporate administrative functions in 1998,
1999 and 2000, respectively. The allocations were based on a specific
identification of Kroll-O'Gara's administrative costs attributable to SPSG
and, to the extent that such identification was not practicable, on the
basis of SPSG's sales as a percentage of Kroll-O'Gara's sales. The expenses
associated with various corporate initiatives of Kroll-O'Gara were not
allocated to SPSG. The allocated costs are included in the various
operating expense captions in the accompanying combined statements of
operations.

SPSG's operations have been financed through its operating cash flows and
advances from Kroll-O'Gara. SPSG's interest expense includes an allocation
of Kroll-O'Gara's interest expense based on Kroll-O'Gara's weighted average
interest rate applied to intercompany advances. Interest expense allocated
from Kroll-O'Gara was $2.0 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively, at weighted
average interest rates of 6.2%, 5.4%, and 9.5% for the years ended December
31, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively. Income tax was calculated as if
SPSG had filed separate income tax returns. SPSG's current income taxes
receivable or payable at any point in time are included in the advances
from Kroll-O'Gara balance in parent's equity in segment. The advances from
Kroll-O'Gara balance in

F-40

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

parent's equity in segment also includes the equity accounts of specific
legal entities included in SPSG, the net assets or liabilities of divisions
included in SPSG and the net intercompany receivable and payable balances
of all entities and divisions with Kroll-O'Gara.

Management believes that the allocation methodologies utilized are
reasonable.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Nature of Operations--SPSG markets ballistic and blast-protected
vehicles and security services. All material intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated. Investments in 20% to 50% owned entities
are accounted for using the equity method and investments in less than
20% owned entities are accounted for using the cost method. Affiliated
entities are not included in the accompanying combined financial
statements, and include entities that are directly or indirectly owned
by current shareholders or former shareholders.

(b) Revenue Recognition--Revenue related to certain contracts for security
products (both government and commercial) that results principally
from long-term fixed price contracts is recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method calculated utilizing the cost-to-cost
approach. The percent deemed to be complete is calculated by comparing
the costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract.
This method is used because management considers costs incurred to be
the best available measure of progress on these contracts. However,
adjustments to this measurement are made when management believes that
costs incurred materially exceed effort expended. Contract costs
include all direct material and labor costs, along with certain direct
overhead costs related to contract production. Changes in estimated
total contract costs will result in revisions to the percentage of
contract revenue recognized. These revisions are recognized when
determined.

Revenue related to other contracts for security products (both government
and commercial) that results principally from short-term fixed price
contracts is recognized on the completed contract method. Provisions for
estimated total contract losses on any uncompleted contracts are recorded
in the period in which it becomes known that such losses will occur.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents--Cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid
debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less at the
date of purchase. SPSG invests excess cash in overnight repurchase
agreements, which are government-collateralized securities. The carrying
amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value of those
instruments due to their short maturity.

(d) Concentrations of Credit Risk--Financial instruments that subject SPSG
to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are
limited by the number of clients that comprise SPSG's client base,
along with the different industries and geographic regions in which
SPSG's clients operate. SPSG does not generally require collateral or
other security to support client receivables, although SPSG does
require retainers, up-front deposits or irrevocable letters-of-credit
in certain situations. SPSG has established an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon facts surrounding the credit risk of specific
clients and past history. Management does not anticipate incurring
losses on its trade receivables in excess of established allowances.

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment--Property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on both straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements ......... 5-40 years
Furniture and fixtures ............. 4-10 years
Machinery and equipment ............ 3-12 years
Leasehold improvements ............. Life of lease

(f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets--Pursuant to the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" (SFAS 121), long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and
goodwill related to those assets must be reviewed for impairment by
asset group for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be
identified. In accordance with this standard, SPSG periodically reviews
the carrying value of these assets and impairments are recognized when
the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying
amount of the asset. Based on its most recent analysis, SPSG believes no
impairment existed at December 31, 2000. However, it is possible, due to
a change in circumstances, that carrying values could become impaired in
the future. Such impairment could have a material effect on the results
of operations in a particular reporting period.

(g) Costs in Excess of Assets Acquired--Costs in excess of assets acquired
represents the excess of the purchase cost over the fair value of net
assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Costs in excess of
assets acquired, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 31,
1999 and 2000 were approximately $15,218,000 and $13,027,000,
respectively. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over
periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. Amortization of costs in excess of
assets acquired for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000
was approximately $642,000, $973,000 and $673,000, respectively.

(h) Other Intangible Assets--Other intangible assets, comprised mainly of
customer lists and non-compete agreements, are amortized on a
straight-line basis. Customer lists are amortized over a fifteen year
period and the non-compete agreements are amortized over the lives of
the respective agreements, which range from two and one-half years to
five years. Other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization,
as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 were approximately $1,707,000 and
$1,426,000, respectively. Amortization of other intangible assets for
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000 was approximately
$469,000, $489,000 and $404,000, respectively.

(i) Foreign Currency Translation--Assets and liabilities of foreign
operations are translated using yearend exchange rates and revenues and
expenses are translated using exchange rates prevailing during the
year, with gains or losses resulting from translation included as a
separate component of parent's equity in segment.

Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are translated
to local currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Amounts receivable or payable in foreign currencies, other
than the subsidiary's local currency, are translated at the rates of
exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The effect of transactional
gains or losses is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying
combined statements of operations.

(j) Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of

F-42

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(k) Research and Development--Research and development costs are expensed
as incurred. SPSG incurred approximately $537,000, $297,000 and
$630,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000,
respectively, for research and development. These costs are included
in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying combined
statements of operations.

(l) Advertising--SPSG expenses the cost of advertising as incurred.
Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000 were approximately $1,340,000, $1,510,000 and $1,554,000,
respectively.

(m) New Accounting Pronouncements--In 1998, SPSG adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" (SFAS 130), which established standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. SPSG has chosen to disclose comprehensive
income, which encompasses net income and foreign currency translation
adjustments, in the combined statements of parent's equity in segment.
The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balances of ($1.0)
million, $0.3 million and ($4.0) million at December 31, 1998, 1999
and 2000, respectively, consisted entirely of foreign currency
translation adjustments.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative
instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as assets and liabilities
measured at fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's
fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133, as amended, is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. SPSG has several forward contracts in
place in association with its net investment in one of its subsidiaries.
These instruments have historically qualified for hedge accounting
throughout the periods presented in the accompanying combined financial
statements. SPSG has adopted the provisions of SFAS 133 beginning on
January 1, 2001. SPSG has designated these contracts as net investment
hedges under SFAS 133 and, as such, the accounting under this new statement
will approximate its previous accounting. Based on current hedge
instruments and designations, SPSG will account for changes in the fair
value of its net investment hedge contracts with the related changes in
fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss). SPSG does not
expect that it will realize any material charges to earnings pursuant to
SFAS 133. See Note 12 for further discussion. However, in the event of a
future change in facts or in the underlying net investment hedge
relationships, SPSG could experience future volatility in earnings. A sale
of net assets or portions of the business that does not include the
corresponding hedge instrument could also result in future volatility in
earnings.

(n) Stock-Based Compensation--SPSG has elected to account for the cost of
its employee stock options and other forms of employee stock-based
compensation plans utilizing the intrinsic value method prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) as allowed by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123). APB 25 requires compensation
cost for stock-based compensation plans to be recognized based on the
difference, if any, between the fair market value of the stock on the
date of grant and the option exercise price. SFAS 123 established a
fair value-based method of accounting for compensation cost related to
stock options and

F-43

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

other forms of stock-based compensation. SFAS 123 allows an entity to
continue to measure compensation cost using the principles of APB 25
if certain pro forma disclosures are made. The pro forma disclosures
required by SFAS 123 are presented in Note 10(c).

(o) Change in Accounting Principle--In April 1998, the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants released Statement of Position (SOP)
98-5, "Reporting on the Cost of Start-Up Activities". The SOP requires
costs of start-up activities, including preoperating costs,
organization costs and other start-up costs, to be expensed as
incurred. SPSG's former practice was to capitalize certain of these
expenses and amortize them over periods ranging from one to five
years. SPSG adopted the provisions of this statement in the first
quarter of 1999 and recorded a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle of $0.8 million, net of a tax benefit of $0.4
million.

(p) Derivative Financial Instruments--Financial instruments in the form of
foreign currency exchange contracts are utilized by SPSG to hedge its
exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. SPSG does
not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are deferred
and amortized as an adjustment to the cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustment component of equity over the terms of the
agreements in accordance with hedge accounting standards. The carrying
value of foreign currency exchange contracts is not equal to the fair
value. See Note 12 for further discussion.

(q) Reclassifications--Certain reclassifications have been reflected in
1998 and 1999 to conform with the current period presentation.
Specifically, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting
Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent" and EITF Issue
No. 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," SPSG has made
reclassifications in the 1998 and 1999 combined statements of
operations to include certain types of costs that are billed to its
customers in net sales instead of offsetting the revenues against cost
of sales and selling and marketing expenses.

3. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Kroll-O'Gara completed one acquisition in SPSG in 1998 that was accounted
for as a purchase business combination. In September 1998, Kroll-O'Gara,
through its O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt de Columbia (OHE-Columbia) subsidiary,
completed the acquisition of the assets of Protec, S.A. (Protec),
headquartered in Bogota, Colombia, which specializes in vehicle armoring
systems and manufacturing bullet and smash resistant glass for its own use
and for sale to third parties. OHE-Columbia has been included in SPSG. The
purchase price of this acquisition amounted to approximately $4.1 million
and consisted of $3.2 million in cash and 38,788 shares of Kroll-O'Gara
common stock (valued at approximately $0.9 million or an average of $22.95
per share). For accounting purposes, the acquisition was effective on
October 1, 1998, and the results of operations of OHE-Columbia are included
in the combined financial statements from that date forward. The resulting
goodwill from this transaction is being amortized over a 20 year period.

are net of $131,582,751 and $139,118,840 of progress billings to the United
States Military at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts
represent revenue recognized on long-term contracts in excess of billings
because amounts were not billable at the balance sheet date. It is
anticipated such unbilled amounts attributable to the United States
Military will generally be billed over the next 180 days from the balance
sheet date as shipments

as shipments are made. It is estimated that substantially all such amounts
will be billed within one year, although contract extensions may delay
certain collections beyond one year.

(e) Restructuring of Operations--In the first quarter of 1999, SPSG began
implementation of a restructuring plan (the 1999 Plan) to reduce costs
and improve operating efficiencies. The 1999 Plan was substantially
completed by the end of the second quarter of 1999. The total
non-recurring pre-tax restructuring charge recorded pursuant to the
1999 Plan was approximately $0.3 million. Total payments or writeoffs
made pursuant to the 1999 Plan through December 31, 1999 were $0.3
million. SPSG does not expect to incur any other significant
restructuring charges in future periods related to the 1999 Plan. The
principal element of the restructuring plan was the elimination of
approximately 55 employees. The components of the restructuring charge
in 1999 were as follows:

In the third quarter of 2000, SPSG implemented and completed a plan to
reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies (the 2000 Plan) with a
total non-recurring pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $0.7
million. Total payments pursuant to the 2000 Plan through December 31, 2000
were $0.4 million. SPSG does not expect to incur any other significant
restructuring charges in future periods related to the 2000 Plan. The
principal element of the restructuring plan was the elimination of
approximately 25 employees. The only component of the restructuring charge
was severance related to the termination of employees. At December 31,
2000, approximately $0.3 million remained as an accrual relating to the
2000 Plan.

5. INCOME TAXES

PSG accounts for income taxes under the liability method pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Under the liability method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.

SPSG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kroll-O'Gara and does not file an
individual tax return. Accordingly, for purposes of these separate combined
financial statements, SPSG has computed

F-47

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

deferred income tax assets and liabilities using the separate return method
as allowed by SFAS 109. Under this method, the allocation of tax expense or
tax benefit is based on what SPSG's current and deferred tax expense would
have been had SPSG filed separate tax returns. This method also assumes
that all net operating loss carryforwards are available to be utilized by
the respective subsidiaries in the segment.

SPSG's provision for income taxes, excluding the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, is summarized as follows:

SPSG has certain domestic and foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The
domestic net operating loss carryforward approximated $5.9 million at
December 31, 2000 and expires in 2015. There was no domestic net operating
loss carryforward at December 31, 1999. The foreign net operating loss
carryforwards approximated $2.6 million and $3.9 million at December 31,
1999 and 2000, respectively, and relate primarily to Mexico and the
Philippines. These carryforwards expire beginning in 2001. A valuation
allowance for all existing domestic and foreign net operating loss
carryforwards has been provided as it is not certain that the tax benefit
will be realized in the foreseeable future. Adjustments to the valuation
allowance, if any, will be recorded in the periods in which it is
determined the asset is realizable.

Included in other notes payable is a foreign revolving line-of-credit not
to exceed $500,000. Amounts outstanding were $384,706 and $333,000 at
December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

(b) Parent's Debt Not Specifically Allocated to SPSG--On March 30, 2001,
Kroll-O'Gara entered into an amended and restated loan agreement to
provide for a revolving credit facility that initially amounts to $40.0
million. The agreement was further amended on April 20, 2001 and
expires on May 31, 2002. Additionally, the agreement provides for a
letter of credit facility of $1,356,250 supporting the Company's
Economic Development Revenue Bonds and up to $6.0 million of
transactional letters of credit (see Note 11). Letters of credit cannot
be issued or renewed with a maturity date beyond May 31, 2002. Advances
under the revolving credit facility bear interest at prime plus 1.5% at
December 31, 2000, and, based on the amendments on March 30, 2001 and
April 20, 2001, bear interest at the greater of (a) 8.56% or (b) the
prime rate plus 1.5%, plus 0.5% times the number of 30-day periods
which have expired since April 20, 2001 (or, if less, the highest rate
allowed by law). Kroll-O'Gara had approximately $36.5 million borrowed
under the line of credit at December 31, 2000.

Kroll-O'Gara had $35.0 million of senior notes payable outstanding at
December 31, 2000. These agreements were also amended on March 30, 2001 and
April 20, 2001. Based on the amendments, the senior notes bear interest at
the greater of (a) 8.56% or (b) the prime rate plus 1.5%, plus 0.5% times
the number of 30-day periods which have expired since April 20, 2001 (or,
if less, the highest rate allowed by law).

The loan agreement and the senior notes (together, the financing
agreements) are secured by substantially all assets of Kroll-O'Gara and its
subsidiaries and a pledge of the stock of essentially all of the
subsidiaries, all of which jointly and severally guarantee obligations
under the financing agreements. These financing agreements include
financial covenants which, among other restrictions, require the
maintenance of certain financial ratios and other financial requirements,
including an interest coverage ratio, net worth minimums and minimum
quarterly EBITDA, that requires Kroll-O'Gara to effectively break even
before taxes and to generate EBITDA of $6.0 million per quarter. The
financing agreements also impose limitations on mergers, acquisitions,
stock redemptions, additional indebtedness and capital expenditures. The
financing agreements do not permit the declaration or payment of any
dividends, other than stock dividends. The net proceeds from any
lender-approved asset sales in excess of $1.0 million per transaction or
$2.0 million per fiscal year must be paid proportionately to the revolving
credit facility lender and the holders of the senior notes, with a
corresponding reduction in the total permitted borrowings under the
revolving credit facility. A material adverse change in the business of
Kroll-O'Gara, including a significant sale of net assets, would result in
the acceleration of all amounts due to the revolving credit facility lender
and the holders of the senior notes. In accordance with the April 20, 2001
amendment to the loan agreement, Kroll-O'Gara's agreement to sell SPSG
would result in an acceleration of all amounts due under the loan agreement
60 days after the closing of the

sale. Kroll-O'Gara was not in compliance with certain covenants of the
financing agreements as of December 31, 2000. Had the lender and the
holders of senior notes not amended and restated the financing agreements,
all amounts outstanding under the financing agreements would have been
immediately payable. Kroll-O'Gara believes it has the capability to
continue to finance its operations and the operations of its segments
through fiscal 2001.

8. OPERATING LEASES

SPSG leases office space and certain equipment and supplies under
agreements with terms from one to fifteen years. The following is a
schedule, by year, of approximate future minimum rental or usage payments
required under operating leases that have initial or non-cancelable lease
terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2000:

2001 ............... $ 851,987
2002 ............... 627,435
2003 ............... 565,190
2004 ............... 517,763
2005 ............... 289,333
Thereafter ......... 724,333
----------

Rental expense charged against current operations amounted to approximately
$1,169,888, $1,536,174 and $1,784,236 for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

9. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

SPSG participates in a Kroll-O'Gara sponsored profit sharing/401(k) plan
covering substantially all domestic employees. Contributions to the plan
are discretionary. The plan includes a matching contribution whereby SPSG
will contribute a percentage of the amount a participant contributes,
limited to certain maximum amounts. Plan contribution expense charged
against current operations amounted to approximately $236,000 and $146,000
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. There was no
contribution expense for the year ended December 31, 1998.

10. PARENT EQUITY ARRANGEMENTS

(a) Stock Option Plans--SPSG employees were granted stock options under
Kroll-O'Gara's 1996 stock option plan (the 1996 Plan). Options for
60,500, 220,400 and 82,000 shares were granted during 1998, 1999 and
2000, respectively. Options granted under the 1996 Plan were generally
granted at fair market value at the date of grant and are exercisable
over periods not exceeding ten years.

In 2000, Kroll-O'Gara adopted a stock option plan (the 2000 Plan) for
non-executive employees. Options for 289,850 shares were granted to SPSG
employees during 2000. Options granted under the 2000 Plan were generally
granted at fair market value at the date of grant and are exercisable over
periods not exceeding ten years.

(b) Restricted Stock Plan--Effective August 12, 1998, Kroll-O'Gara adopted
a stock incentive plan (the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan) for employees.
There were no shares granted under the plan during 1998 or 2000,
however, during fiscal 1999, 12,500 shares were granted under the plan
to SPSG employees. In connection with the shares granted under the
Stock Incentive Plan in 1999, SPSG recorded deferred compensation of
$413,595 representing the difference

F-52

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

between the fair market value of Kroll-O'Gara common stock on the date
of grant and the purchase price of the shares. This amount is presented
as a reduction of parent's equity in segment and is being amortized
ratably over the vesting periods of the applicable grants. Approximately
$199,000 and $91,000 was expensed in 1999 and 2000, respectively.

(c) Stock Based Compensation Disclosure--SFAS 123 requires, at a minimum,
pro forma disclosures of expense for stock-based awards based on their
fair values. The pro forma amounts below are not necessarily
representative of the effects of stock-based awards on future pro forma
net income because future plans that include SPSG employees may differ
from Kroll-O'Gara stock option plans and accordingly (1) future grants
of employee stock options may not be comparable to awards made to
employees while SPSG was a part of Kroll-O'Gara, and (2) the
assumptions used to compute the fair value of any future stock option
awards will be specific to these future plans and therefore, may not be
comparable to the Kroll-O'Gara assumptions used. If SPSG had measured
compensation cost for the Kroll-O'Gara stock options granted to its
employees under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123, SPSG's
net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000
would have been as follows:

Pro forma ........... $8,817,376 $ 101,957 $ (10,967,658)

The fair value of each Kroll-O'Gara stock option granted to SPSG employees
is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions used by Kroll-O'Gara
for grants in 1998, 1999 and 2000:

The 60,500 options granted by Kroll-O'Gara to SPSG employees during 1998
have a weighted-average exercise price of $18.92, a weighted-average fair
value of $10.02 and remaining contractual lives, on a weighted-average
basis, of 7.4 years. The 220,400 options granted by Kroll-O'Gara to SPSG
employees during 1999 have a weighted-average exercise price of $27.66, a
weighted-average fair value of $17.01 and contractual lives, on a
weighted-average basis, of 8.2 years. The 371,850 options granted by
Kroll-O'Gara to SPSG employees during 2000 have a weighted-average exercise
price of $6.38, a weighted-average fair value of $3.74 and contractual
lives, on a weighted-average basis, of 9.4 years.

A summary of the status of Kroll-O'Gara stock options granted to SPSG
employees at December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, and the change during the
years then ended is presented in the table below:

ranging from $17.25 to $26.94 per share.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Letters of Credit--Under the terms of the Economic Development Revenue
Bonds Agreement, SPSG is required to maintain a letter of credit
supporting the debt. As of December 31, 2000, SPSG's lender was
committed to providing this letter of credit through May 31, 2001. As
of December 31, 2000, SPSG had an outstanding letter of credit in the
amount of $1,356,250.

At December 31, 2000, SPSG had standby and purchase letters of credit,
issued on its behalf by its primary lender, in the aggregate amount of
$1,875,562.

(b) Employment Agreements--Kroll-O'Gara and SPSG have month-to-month
employment agreements with SPSG executive officers and management level
personnel with annual compensation ranging in value from $135,000 to
$350,000. The agreements generally provide for salary continuation in
the event of termination without cause for the greater of the remainder
of the agreement or one year. The agreements also contain certain
non-competition clauses and generally provide for one year's salary if
the agreement is not renewed.

As of December 31, 2000, the remaining aggregate commitment under these
employment agreements if all individuals were terminated without cause was
approximately $785,000.

(c) Legal Matters--Kroll-O'Gara has been named as a defendant in eight
lawsuits alleging that its officers and directors breached their
fiduciary duties in connection with the now terminated proposed
acquisition of a majority of Kroll-O'Gara's shares by a company formed
by Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant Banking Fund L.P.
(Blackstone). The plaintiffs allege that Kroll-O'Gara's officers and
directors breached their fiduciary duties by deferring acquisitions, by
negotiating an inadequate acquisition price, by failing to engage in
arms-length negotiations and by failing to seek redress from Blackstone
after Blackstone terminated the proposed transaction. The plaintiffs
also allege that Blackstone and American International Group, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (AIG) aided and abetted the directors' and officers'
alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs seek to bring
their claims derivatively on behalf of Kroll-O'Gara and also seek class
certification. The plaintiffs seek a declaration that the individual
defendants breached their fiduciary duty and seek damages and
attorneys' fees in an unspecified amount. Kroll-O'Gara believes that
the allegations in the complaint are meritless and will defend the
suits vigorously.

In 1999, Kroll-O'Gara learned that an individual had filed a qui tam suit
against an SPSG subsidiary under the Civil False Claims Act alleging that
the SPSG subsidiary and three of its vendors knowingly violated their
contractual requirements with the Army due to the vendors' alleged failure
to have certified welders. In October 2000, SPSG settled this litigation
with the Department of Justice for approximately $1.1 million, plus legal
costs. SPSG admitted no wrongdoing as part of the settlement. SPSG paid
$0.55 million of the settlement amount in November 2000; the remainder is
due on December 30, 2001.

In addition to the matters discussed above, SPSG is involved in litigation
from time to time in the ordinary course of its business; however, SPSG
does not believe that there is any currently pending or threatened
litigation, individually or in the aggregate, that is likely to have a
material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or
its cash flows.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of significant current assets, current liabilities and
long-term debt approximate their respective historical carrying amounts.

SPSG has entered into six foreign currency exchange contracts to
effectively hedge its exposure to certain foreign currency rate
fluctuations on intercompany demand loans to one subsidiary which are
denominated in a foreign currency. By virtue of these contracts, SPSG has
fixed the total dollar amount which it will receive under the
aforementioned subsidiary loan through the maturity dates of the contracts
regardless of the fluctuations in the exchange rate. As of December 31,
2000, the total notional amount of the contracts, which mature between
January 2001 and July 2002, was $11.5 million. SPSG's cumulative foreign
currency translation adjustment component of parent's equity in segment was
increased by $2.0 million in 1999 and decreased by $0.3 million in 2000 as
a result of these contracts.

SPSG has estimated the fair value of its foreign exchange contracts based
on information obtained from the counterparty. Fair value represents the
amount SPSG would have received at December 31, 2000 if the agreements had
been terminated. As of December 31, 2000, SPSG would have received
approximately $0.9 million upon cancellation of all contracts. If SFAS 133
had to be applied to all net investment hedge contracts in place at
December 31, 2000, the effect would have been to decrease assets by
approximately $0.2 million with an offsetting amount recorded in the
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of parent's equity
in segment.

SPSG is subject to audit and investigation by various agencies which
oversee contract performance in connection with SPSG's contracts with the
U.S. government. Management believes that potential claims from such audits
and investigations will not have a material adverse effect on the combined
financial statements. In addition, contracts with the U.S. government may
contain cost or performance incentives or both based on stated targets or
other criteria. Cost or performance incentives are recorded at the time
there is sufficient information to relate actual performance to targets or
other criteria.

SPSG has foreign operations and assets in Brazil, Colombia, France, Italy,
Mexico, Russia and the Philippines. In addition, SPSG sells its products
and services in other foreign countries and has continued to increase its
level of international activity. Accordingly, SPSG is subject to various
risks including, among others, foreign currency restrictions, exchange rate
fluctuations, government instability and complexities of local laws and
regulations.

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL

The Security Products and Services Group (SPSG or the Company) is a
wholly-owned segment of The Kroll-O'Gara Company (Kroll-O'Gara).

On April 20, 2001, the Board of Directors of Kroll-O'Gara approved a
definitive agreement, subject to a limited number of closing conditions, to
sell the common stock of the active companies that comprise Kroll-O'Gara's SPSG
segment, other than SPSG's subsidiaries that provide kidnap and ransom and risk
information services, SPSG's Russian subsidiaries and certain other inactive
companies, to Armor Holdings, Inc. (Armor) for up to $56.5 million. The
accompanying SPSG combined financial statements and footnotes exclude the
subsidiaries that provide kidnap and ransom and risk information services as
they will continue to be operated by Kroll-O'Gara after the sale of SPSG. The
Russian subsidiaries and certain other inactive companies are included within
the accompanying combined financial statements as they have historically been
included within the SPSG segment and might not be operated by Kroll-O'Gara
after the sale.

Of the $56.5 million sales price, a portion ($53.0 million subject to
adjustment) is to be paid at closing, currently expected to occur in the third
quarter of 2001. An escrow of $1.5 million will be maintained and a deferred
payment of up to $2.0 million may be made based on SPSG's achievement of a
gross profit target for the year ending December 31, 2001. At Armor's option,
up to $15.0 million of the purchase price can be paid in registered common
stock of Armor. The purchase price will be reduced dollar-for-dollar to the
extent tangible net assets, as defined, are less than approximately $37.4
million. Kroll-O'Gara currently believes the sale of SPSG will approximate the
value of parent's equity in segment. In the event the sale to Armor is not
consummated, Kroll-O'Gara will continue to evaluate all options available to
it, including seeking other buyers or other alternatives.

The accompanying combined financial statements are presented on a
carve-out basis and include the historical results of operations and assets and
liabilities of the SPSG entities as noted above. These combined financial
statements have been prepared from Kroll-O'Gara's historical accounting
records.

SPSG was allocated $0.9 million and $1.2 million of overhead costs related
to Kroll-O'Gara's corporate administrative functions for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, and $2.0 million and $2.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The allocations were
based on a specific identification of Kroll-O'Gara's administrative costs
attributable to SPSG and, to the extent that such identification was not
practicable, on the basis of SPSG's sales as a percentage of Kroll-O'Gara's
sales. The expenses associated with various corporate initiatives of
Kroll-O'Gara were not allocated to SPSG. The allocated costs are included in
the various operating expense captions in the accompanying combined statements
of operations.

SPSG's operations have been financed through its operating cash flows and
advances from Kroll-O'Gara. SPSG's interest expense includes an allocation of
Kroll-O'Gara's interest expense based on Kroll-O'Gara's weighted average
interest rate applied to intercompany advances. Interest expense allocated from
Kroll O'Gara was $0.9 million and $1.0 million at weighted average interest
rates of 3.8% and 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001,
respectively. Income tax was calculated as if SPSG had filed separate income
tax returns. SPSG's current income taxes receivable or payable at any point in
time are included in the advances from Kroll-O'Gara in parent's equity in
segment. The advances from Kroll-O'Gara balance in parent's equity in segment
also includes the equity accounts of specific legal entities included in SPSG,
the net assets or liabilities of divisions included in SPSG and the net
intercompany balances of all entities and divisions with Kroll-O'Gara.

Management believes that its allocation methodologies are reasonable.

The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting

F-61

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2001. The accompanying combined financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and notes
thereto in SPSG's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2000.

(2) PARENT'S DEBT NOT SPECIFICALLY ALLOCATED TO SPSG

On March 30, 2001, Kroll-O'Gara entered into an amended and restated loan
agreement to provide for a revolving credit facility that initially amounts to
$40.0 million. The agreement was further amended on April 20, 2001 and expires
on May 31, 2002. Additionally, the agreement provides for a letter of credit
facility of $1,356,250 supporting the Company's Economic Development Revenue
Bonds and up to $6.0 million of transactional letters of credit. Letters of
credit cannot be issued or renewed with a maturity date beyond May 31, 2002.
Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at prime plus 1.5%
at June 30, 2001 and, based on the amendments on March 30, 2001 and April 20,
2001, bear interest at the greater of (a) 8.56% or (b) the prime rate plus
1.5%, plus 0.5% (monthly interest factor which was negotiated with the lender
to receive advanced waiver to release pledged collateral for the sale of SPSG
to Armor) times the number of 30-day periods which have expired since April 20,
2001 (or, if less, the highest rate allowed by law). At June 30, 2001, the
interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 9.25%. Kroll-O'Gara had
approximately $36.1 million borrowed under the revolving credit facility at
June 30, 2001.

Kroll-O'Gara had $35.0 million of senior notes payable outstanding at June
30, 2001. These agreements were also amended on March 30, 2001 and April 20,
2001. Based on the amendments, the senior notes bear interest at the greater of
(a) 8.56% or (b) the prime rate plus 1.5%, plus 0.5% (monthly interest factor
which was negotiated with the lender to receive advanced waiver to release
pledged collateral for the sale of SPSG to Armor) times the number of 30-day
periods which have expired since April 20, 2001 (or, if less, the highest rate
allowed by law). At June 30, 2001, the interest rate on the senior notes was
9.25%.

The loan agreement and the senior notes (together, the financing
agreements) are secured by substantially all assets of Kroll-O'Gara and its
subsidiaries and a pledge of the stock of essentially all the subsidiaries, all
of which jointly and severally guarantee obligations under the financing
agreements. These financing agreements include financial covenants which, among
other restrictions, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and
other financial requirements, including an interest coverage ratio, net worth
minimums and minimum quarterly EBITDA, that requires Kroll-O'Gara to
effectively break even before taxes and to generate EBITDA of $6.0 million per
quarter. The financing agreements also impose limitations on mergers,
acquisitions, stock redemptions, additional indebtedness and capital
expenditures. The financing agreements do not permit the declaration or payment
of any dividends, other than stock dividends. The net proceeds from any
lender-approved asset sales in excess of $1.0 million per transaction or $2.0
million per fiscal year must be paid proportionately to the revolving credit
facility lender and the holders of the senior notes, with a corresponding
reduction in the total permitted borrowings under the revolving credit
facility. A material adverse change in the business of Kroll-O'Gara, including
a significant sale of net assets, would result in the acceleration of all
amounts due to the revolving credit facility lender and the holders of the
senior notes. In accordance with the April 20, 2001 amendment to the loan
agreement, Kroll-O'Gara's agreement to sell SPSG would result in an
acceleration of all amounts due under the loan agreement 60 days after the
closing of the sale. Kroll-O'Gara was not in compliance with certain covenants
of the financing agreements as of December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001. Had the
revolving credit facility lender and the holders of the senior notes not
amended and restated the financing

F-62

NOTES TO COMBINED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

agreements on March 30, 2001 and April 20, 2001, or waived the events of
non-compliance as of June 30, 2001, all amounts outstanding under the financing
agreements would have been immediately payable. Kroll-O'Gara anticipates
compliance with all covenants and believes it has the capability to continue to
finance its operations and the operations of its segments throughout the
remainder of 2001.

(5) RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS

In the third quarter of 2000, SPSG implemented and completed a plan to
reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies (the 2000 Plan) with a total
pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $0.7 million. Total payments
pursuant to the 2000 Plan through June 30, 2001 were $0.6 million. SPSG does
not expect to incur any other significant restructuring charges in future
periods related to the 2000 Plan. The principal element of the restructuring
plan was the elimination of approximately 25 employees. The only component of
the restructuring charge was severance related to the termination of employees.
At June 30, 2001, approximately $0.1 million remained as an accrual relating to
the 2000 Plan.

(6) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
(SFAS No. 141), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for business
combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations in the scope of
the statement to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The
provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001. Due to the recent issuance of the standard, the Company is still
assessing the potential impact to its combined financial statements.

In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142), which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and other
intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other
assets. The provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. For

F-63

THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

NOTES TO COMBINED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

example, the Company had amortization expense related to goodwill and other
intangible assets of approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001. Due to the recent issuance of the standard, the Company is still
assessing the potential impact to its combined financial statements.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 are presented for informational purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the
O'Gara Acquisition been consummated at the beginning of, or for, the periods
indicated. These pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do
not purport to indicate results of operations as of any future period. The pro
forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 reflect only
anticipated cost savings directly attributable to the O'Gara Acquisition which
we believe would have resulted had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2000

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

(1) SPSG's combined results of operations are presented for the year ended
December 31, 2000.

(2) Reflects a change from O'Gara's revenue recognition policy on long-term
contracts from percentage of completion based on the cost incurred basis
to percentage of completion based on the units completed basis. For the
year ended December 31, 2000, this change in revenue recognition would
have resulted in an increase in revenues of approximately $9.3 million
and an increase in cost of sales of approximately $5.6 million.

(3) Represents an adjustment to operating expenses to reflect the reduction
in information technology consulting and data circuit costs of $262,000,
and reduced insurance fees of $100,000 pursuant to our existing
contracts.

being acquired pursuant to this acquisition. According to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, goodwill arising from business combinations completed after July
1, 2001 will no longer require annual amortization but rather be tested
for impairment.

(5) Reflects the elimination of the Russian operations with revenues of $1.9
million, cost of sales of $1.6 million, operating expenses of $487,000,
amortization expense of $450,000 and other income of $109,000. These
operations were not purchased as part of the O'Gara Acquisition.

(6) Reflects the adjustment to the provision for taxes by applying our
effective tax rate to the pro forma income derived from the pro forma
adjustments described above.

(7) Reflects interest expense of $2.7 million related to the debt incurred as
a result of the O'Gara Acquisition, net of the elimination of SPSG's
allocated interest expense of $2.4 million.

share common stock valued at $15 million issued as part of the
