Dear Mr. Leber:
We have the following responses to your comments on the above referenced filing.
COMMENT 1. Provide the financial statements of Lehigh Group, Inc. in
accordance with Item 310 (s) (c) of Regulation this forma
balance sheet and income statement should give effect to this
acquisition
RESPONSE: The Company has complied with your request; see The Lehigh
Group's year end financial statements F22-F27 and interim
financials on pages F-51-F56. The pro forma income statements
have been revised to include The Lehigh Group.
COMMENT 2. As previously requested, disclose weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for March 31, 1995.
RESPONSE: The Financial Statements have been revised to comply with
your request to disclose the weighted average number of

also revised the Summary Financial Information at page 7 and
these numbers have been adjusted to give effect to the Stock
Dividend as defined below.
COMMENT 3. Reference is made your response to our comment #2. The costs
related to the relocation of the assets acquired are period
costs and should be expensed as incurred. Please revise the
financial statements accordingly. Please be advised that

expense and intangible asset in the financial statements for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.

including the financial statements, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The Company
The Company was originally incorporated as a New York corporation in
1992. Effective April 17, 1995 (the "Reincorporation Date"), pursuant to the
authorization of the security holders of the Company, the Company was
reincorporated (the "Reincorporation) in Delaware. Any reference in this

Declaration of 50% Stock Dividend
On July 1, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 50%
Stock Dividend (the "Stock Dividend") payable on July 16, 1996, to shareholders
of record as of July 15,1996. As a result thereof, the number of outstanding
shares of the Common Stock has been increased from 15,303,019 to 22,954,529.
Except where specifically noted, all information in this Prospectus (other than
the Financial Statements beginning on Page F1) about shares outstanding, per
share financial information, share prices, option prices, warrant prices, and
the like have been restated to give effect to the Stock Dividend as if it

Dividend.
Ballistic-resistant Equipment
In November 1992, the Company acquired Protective Apparel Corporation
of America ("PACA"), which manufactures and distributes ballistic-resistant
equipment and apparel and related products used by police and other
law-enforcement and security personnel. In August 1995, the Company, through a
wholly owned subsidiary now known as Point Blank Body Armor, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter, "Point Blank"), acquired from a trustee in bankruptcy
certain assets (the "Point Blank Assets"), free of all liabilities, of Point
Blank Body Armor, L.P., and an affiliated company (collectively, "Old Point
Blank"), for a cash payment of $2,000,000 at an auction held pursuant to Chapter
7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). Prior to the
filing of the petition in bankruptcy, Old Point Blank had been the leading
manufacturer of bullet resistant garments and related accessories. PACA and
Point Blank are now wholly owned by DHB Armor Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Armor Group"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. In October 1995, the Company hired Colonel James Magee, U.S.M.C.
(Ret'd), to be President of Point Blank.
PACA was founded in 1975 and has been engaged in the development,
manufacture and distribution of bullet- and projectile-resistant garments,
including bullet-resistant vests, fragmentation vests, bomb-protection blankets
and tactical load-bearing vests. Old Point Blank was founded in 1975 and was,
prior to its bankruptcy, the leading United States manufacturer of bullet- and
projectile-resistant garments. In addition to these products, both companies
distribute other ballistic-protection devices including helmets and shields, and
the Armor Group will continue to do so. In 1993, PACA began manufacturing and
distributing a line of reversible utility jackets which is marketed under the
trade name "DHB USA", and a line of nylon tactical equipment (holsters, gun
cases and specialty utility bags) which is marketed under the trade name "DHB
Systems". PACA's products are sold through a nationwide independent sales
representative and distributor network primarily to domestic law enforcement
agencies, the U.S. military, various federal government agencies, federal and
state correctional facilities, highway patrols and sheriffs' departments. Old
Point Blank marketed its products in a similar way. In 1990, in connection with
certain transactions, PACA entered into a domestic and international
non-competition agreement with American Body Armor & Equipment, restricting the
Company's right to sell products outside the United States and to certain
domestic distributors prior to 2000. In August 1995, the Armor Group purchased
the agreement from American Body Armor & Equipment, Inc., for a cash payment of
$250,000, thereby terminating this agreement and the restriction on the Armor
Group against international sales.
Protective Athletic Equipment
On December 20, 1994, the Company started up a business of
manufacturing and distributing protective athletic equipment and apparel by
purchasing (the "NDL Transaction"), through a wholly-owned subsidiary now known
as NDL Products, Inc., a Florida corporation (hereinafter, "NDL"), the assets
(the "NDL Assets") of N.D.L. Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and of its
wholly owned subsidiaries, for a cash payment of $3,080,000, net of cash
acquired, at an auction held pursuant to Chapter 7 the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Prior to the transaction and a conversion, the Seller was a
debtor-in-possession, under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The transaction
was consummated pursuant to an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern
District of Florida dated 12-20-94. NDL distributes protective athletic apparel
and equipment, such as elbow, breast, hip, groin, knee, shin and ankle supports,
and wrist, elbow, groin and knee braces.
Orthopedic Products
The Company has very recently entered the orthopedic products business
by acquiring the outstanding capital stock of Orthopedic Products, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("OPI"). The Company issued 270,000 shares of its registered
Common Stock in March 1996, in two transactions, in exchange for all the
outstanding capital stock of OPI. The former owners of the OPI outstanding
capital stock continue to be officers of OPI. In each of the years ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, OPI had sales in excess of $3,000,000 and losses of
approximately $200,000 in 1995 and $41,000 in 1994. See "Business" and
"Management".
Other Business
The Company also actively seeks to acquire and finance, as appropriate,
additional operating companies or interests therein. Since January 1, 1994, the
Company made the following transactions:
A 98% interest in the common stock of Intelligent Data Corporation, a
Nevada corporation ("ID"), which is a development-stage company engaged
in applying sophisticated telecommunications systems, known as "virtual
writing," for remote document signature and authentication, remote
issuance of bank or brokerage cashier's checks and the facilitation of
COD payment transactions.
A 100% interest in the capital stock of Royal Acquisition Corp.
("RAC"), whose principal asset is a film library.

Merger with Lehigh Group. On July 8, 1996 the Company and the Lehigh
Group, Inc. ("Lehigh") entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby the
Company would merge into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lehigh. If the merger is
approved by the shareholders of the Company and Lehigh then upon completion of
the proposed transaction, the shareholders of the Company would receive shares
of Lehigh which would represent approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Lehigh, with the balance of Lehigh's shares owned by the current
shareholders of Lehigh.
Lehigh whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Lehigh is engaged in the distribution of electrical supplies for export and
import throught its wholly-owned subsidiary Hall-Mark Electrical Supplies Corp.
The proposed transaction is subject to among other things the execution of a
formal agreement approval by the shareholders of the Company and Lehigh, receipt
of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals and an examination of the
properties and books of each company by the other. There is no assurance this
transaction will be consummated. The Company intends to continue to evaluate and
consider the acquistion of additional businesses which may or may not be related
to its current businesses. Except as set forth above, The Company is not
currently involved in any substantive negotiations for purchasing any business
or group of assets.
The Company maintains its executive offices at 11 Old Westbury Road,
Old Westbury, New York 11568, telephone number (516) 997-1155. PACA is located
in Norris, Tennessee, NDL and Point Blank are located in Oakland Park, Florida,
and OPI is presently located in Davie, Florida.

discussion of certain factors that should be considered in evaluating the
Company and its business.

any employee or any broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, investment
company or investment adviser, and JBSI (his company) was required to institute
and maintain procedures pursuant to Section 15(f) of the Exchange Act. Mr.
Jeffrey Brooks is a Selling Shareholder. See "Risk Factors," "Management,"
"Principal Shareholders," "Selling Shareholders," and "Certain Transactions."

RISK FACTORS
The securities offered are speculative and involve a high degree of
risk. They should be purchased only by persons who can afford the loss of their
entire investment. Prospective investors, prior to making an investment
decision, should carefully read this Prospectus and consider, along with other
matters referred to herein, the following Risk Factors:
RELATING TO THE BUSINESS OF THE ARMOR GROUP:
Concentration of Business Activities; Dependence on Major Customer. The
market for products of the Armor Group is, in large part, composed of domestic
and international, military, and civil authorities. Accordingly, the Armor
Group's operations are subject to the risk of fluctuations in the demand for
such products by such authorities. In addition, significant portions of PACA's
revenues in recent years have come from its largest customer, the City of New
York. Revenues from this customer constituted 5% and 8% of the Company's total
revenues for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. PACA is
deriving a lower share of its revenue from this customer, but the loss of this
customer, if it were not replaced by other customers, could have an adverse
effect on the Company's financial performance.
Reliance Upon Governmental Spending. The Armor Group's products are
sold nationally and internationally, primarily to law enforcement agencies and
military services. Sales to domestic law enforcement agencies, including
government, security and intelligence agencies, police departments, federal and
state correctional facilities, highway patrol and sheriffs' departments,
comprise the largest portion of the Armor Group's business. Accordingly, any
substantial reduction in governmental spending or change in emphasis in defense
and law enforcement programs could have a material adverse effect on the Armor
Group's business. See "Business - DHB Armor Group - Customers."
Products Liability. The products manufactured by PACA and Point Blank
are used in applications where the failure of such products could result in
serious personal injuries and death. PACA and Point Blank each maintain product
liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $8,000,000 in
the aggregate for PACA, and $12,000,000 in the aggregate for Point Blank,
excluding legal fees which are borne by the insurance carriers, less a
deductible ($25,000 for PACA, $100,000 for Point Blank). There is no assurance
that these amounts would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential
claim. In addition, there is no assurance that this or any other insurance
coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that PACA and/or Point
Blank will be able to obtain it at a reasonable cost. Any substantial uninsured
loss would have to be paid out of the assets of PACA or Point Blank, as
applicable, and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and operations on a consolidated basis. In addition, the inability to
obtain product liability coverage would prohibit PACA or Point Blank, as
applicable, 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 the Company's financial condition and results
of operations, on a consolidated basis.
Limited Sources of Raw Material. The primary raw material used by PACA
in manufacturing ballistic-resistant garments is Kevlar(TM), a patented product
of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc. ("Du Pont"). Du Pont and its European
licensee are currently the only producers of Kevlar. PACA purchases Kevlar in
the form of woven cloth from two independent weaving companies, each of which
provides more than 10% of PACA's requirements of Kevlar. In the event Du Pont or
its licensee in Europe cease, for any reason, to produce and sell Kevlar, the
Company would be required to utilize other fabrics as a substitute. PACA has
begun to use Spectrashield(TM) and Spectra Fibre(TM), patented products of
Allied Signal, Inc., as a ballistic-resistant fabric and has tested a new woven
ballistic-resistant fabric, to reduce dependence on Kevlar. Spectrashield and
SpectraFibre have been used in combination with Kevlar in approximately 20% of
all vests sold by PACA. Neither Spectrashield nor SpectraFibre, due to their
respective physical characteristics, is expected to become a complete substitute
for Kevlar in the near future. Approximately 60% of Old Point Blank's
bullet-resistant garments were made of Twaron, a fabric manufactured by Akxo, an
Israeli company, and the balance of Old Point Blank's bullet-resistant products
were made with Spectrashield or Kevlar. In the opinion of management, PACA
enjoys a good relationship with its suppliers of Kevlar, Spectrashield and
SpectraFibre, and the acquisition of the Point Blank Assets is expected to
enable the Armor Group to develop and strengthen the Armor Group's relations
with all its current suppliers. Until the Armor Group secured an adequate supply
of an alternative fabric and appropriate ballistic tests were performed, its
operations would be severely curtailed and the Armor Group's financial condition
and operations would be adversely affected. See "Business - Raw Materials,
Sources and Availability".
Competition. The ballistic-resistant garment industry is highly
competitive. Some competitors have substantially greater financial resources,
brand recognition, market share, marketing power and other competitive
advantages over the smaller competitors in the business, including the Company.
The Company believes that the principal elements of competition in the sale of
ballistic-resistant garments are price and quality. The Company must therefore
maintain profitable prices and control costs and quality. As manufacturing
technology changes, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to
be able to manufacture its products at competitive prices.
Bankruptcies of Prior Owners of Certain Assets. The Company acquired
the assets of NDL from a debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, and
certain assets of Old Point Blank from a trustee in bankruptcy. The prior owners
became unable to utilize the assets in a profitable business, and there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to utilize the assets on a profitable
basis.
RELATING TO THE BUSINESS OF NDL:
Limited Operating History. NDL is a new business with only one year's
operating history. NDL has very limited business experience and is subject to
all the risks in the establishment of any new business venture. Therefore, in
addition to other risk factors, the likelihood of NDL's success must be
considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and
delays frequently encountered in the development of a new business. The Company
entered the protective athletic equipment and apparel business by purchasing the
inventory, trademarks, trade names, equipment, and certain other assets of a
failed enterprise from a trustee in bankruptcy. Senior management of NDL, have
all been hired since January 1, 1995. See "Management"; see, also, "Bankruptcies
of Prior Owners of Certain Assets," above.
Significant Competition. The protective athletic equipment and apparel
business is highly competitive. NDL believes that the principal elements of
competition are price and quality. The major manufacturers of protective
athletic equipment include well-known brands like Everlast, Roller Blade and Ace
Bandage, and lesser known manufacturers such as Tru-fit Manufacturing, of
Boston, Massachusetts, Stromgren Co., of Kansas City, Missouri, and Mueller Co.,
of Wisconsin. Some competitors have substantially greater financial resources,
brand recognition, market share, marketing power and other competitive
advantages over the smaller competitors in the business, including the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully
in this business.
RELATING TO OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:
New Venture in Orthopedic Products. In late March 1996, the Company
entered the orthopedic products business by acquiring OPI, which had sales in
its last two fiscal years of over $3,000,000 , and losses or approximately
$200,000 and $41,000, respectively, in the years ended September 30, 1995 and
1994. The two former owners continue to be the senior executives of OPI. There
can be no assurance that OPI will become profitable or that its losses will not
grow.
Possible Acquisition of Unidentified Businesses. The Company intends to
continue to diversify its business operations through the possible acquisition
of one or more operating companies. The Company has not presently identified any
specific business or industry in which it intends to expand through the purchase
or development of a business. Purchasers of the Shares will have no opportunity
to evaluate or to have a voice in the determination of the business or
businesses that the Company may purchase. In addition, the Company is presently
a passive investor in several other public or private companies and has little
or no control over the business and affairs of such entities. See "Business" and
"Management".
Need for Additional Financing. The Company has, throughout its
existence, obtained funds for acquisitions and operations from term bank loans
for periods of up to a year, which have been secured, in part, by the
controlling shareholder's hypothecation of marketable securities. In the past,
the Company has always been able to roll over such loans with new loans at
prevailing interest rates. At the present time, it has a term loan from The
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase") in the amount of $1,150,000 coming due in
September 1996, and a loan of $1,400,000 from The Bank of New York ("BNY," and
Chase and BNY may be referred to hereinafter, individually and/or collectively,
as the "Banks") coming due in December 1996. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to roll over such term loans as they become due. See, also,
"Financial Accommodations by Related Persons."
Financial Accommodations by Related Persons. David H. Brooks, the
Company's Chairman and principal shareholder, previously loaned the Company the
funds necessary to complete the acquisition of PACA. The Company repaid Mr.
Brooks' loan from the proceeds of private placements completed in 1993. Mr.
Brooks and his wife, Mrs. Terry Brooks, made loans totaling $1,140,000 in
connection with the start-up of NDL, and they have pledged certain of their
personal assets to guaranty term loans made by the Banks. In connection with the
purchase of the Point Blank Assets, Mr. David H. Brooks made a demand loan in
the amount of $2,000,000, of which $750,000 is still outstanding, so that the
Company is currently indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Brooks in the principal sum of
$1,890,000. All term loans from banks which the Company has obtained since
inception have been secured, in part, by the hypothecation of marketable
securities owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not require similar accommodations in the future or that Mr. and
Mrs. David Brooks will be able or willing to do so on terms acceptable to the
Company. An entity controlled by Mrs. Terry Brooks and beneficially owned by the
Brooks' minor children leased (as lessor) the facility occupied by NDL and Point
Blank in Oakland Park, Florida. While the Company believes that no future
transactions will be entered into between the Company and its officers,
directors or 5% shareholders unless such transactions are on terms no less
favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties,
any current or future transactions between the Company and such affiliates may
involve possible conflicts of interest. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Business
- - Properties" and "Certain Transactions".
RELATING TO MANAGEMENT:
Control by Management. David H. Brooks currently beneficially owns
approximately 60% of the outstanding Common Stock. His brother owns 1,987,500
shares (7.2%), and each disclaims beneficial ownership of shares owned by the
other. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights, and each shareholder
is entitled to cast one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders, including the election of directors, and so shareholders holding a
majority of the outstanding shares will be able to elect all of the directors.
Accordingly, Mr. David Brooks is able to elect all of the directors of the
Company and generally direct the management of the Company, and other
shareholders will be unable to elect any members of the Board of Directors. See
"Principal Shareholders" and "Description of Securities - Common Stock".
SEC Consent Decree Affecting the Chairman. Mr. David Brooks entered
into a consent decree in December 1992 with the SEC, together with Jeffrey
Brooks, his brother and owner of Jeffrey Brooks Securities, Inc. ("JBSI"). The
SEC had filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (Docket No. 922846) alleging that an employee of
JBSI was involved in an unlawful insider-trading scheme allegedly conducted
through JBSI and the filing of false information by JBSI, which was then a
registered broker-dealer. The SEC alleged that JBSI did not establish, maintain
or enforce policies and procedures that are required under Section 15(f) of the
Exchange Act, designed to detect and prevent insider trading by an employee of
JBSI, and that JBSI did not make required disclosures under Section 15(b) of the
Exchange Act. The SEC further alleged that David Brooks exercised "de facto
control" of certain aspects of JBSI's operations and that David Brooks and
Jeffrey Brooks aided and abetted the reporting violations of JBSI. Pursuant to
the settlement of these charges, without admitting or denying such allegations,
David Brooks, Jeffrey Brooks and JBSI were assessed an aggregate civil fine of
$405,000 and were enjoined from future violations of Section 15(b) and 15(f) of
the Exchange Act; David Brooks was barred from having any direct or indirect
interest in, or acting as a director, officer or employee of, any broker,
dealer, municipal securities dealer, investment advisor, or investment company,
provided that David Brooks is able to apply to become so associated after a
five-year period; Jeffrey Brooks was prohibited from acting in a supervisory
capacity with respect to any employee or any broker, dealer, municipal
securities dealer, investment company or investment advisor for a period of one
year, which ended in December 1993; and JBSI was required to institute and
maintain procedures pursuant to Section 15(f) of the Exchange Act. Mr. David
Brooks is not under any prohibition from serving as an officer or director of
any public company other than a registered broker-dealer or an investment
company. Mr. Jeffrey Brooks is one of the Selling Shareholders. See
"Management," "Principal Shareholders," "Certain Transactions" and "Selling
Shareholders."
Reliance Upon Key Personnel. The Company is substantially dependent
upon the personal efforts and abilities of Mr. David H. Brooks, Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer, and to a lesser extent, Ms. Mary Kreidell,
Secretary and Treasurer, and, at present, those of Leonard Rosen the President
of PACA, Barry Finn, Chief Executive Officer of NDL, Douglas T. Burns, President
of the Company, and Col. James Magee, President of Point Blank. Should any of
the members of the Company's senior management be unable or unwilling to
continue in their present roles, or should such person determine to enter into
competition with the Company, the Company's business could be adversely
affected. Because of the relatively small size of the Company, the loss of a
senior executive may have a materially adverse effect upon the Company until a
suitable replacement can be found. See "Business" and "Management".
RELATING TO THE SECURITIES:
Depressive Effect on Market of Untimely Sales by Selling Shareholders;
Shares Eligible for Future Sale. The Company has engaged in private placements
of unregistered securities, including the Shares covered by this Prospectus, at
prices below prevailing market prices for registered shares at the times the
private placements were effected. In March 1996, the Company issued 270,000
registered shares to acquire OPI. In October 1995, the Company adopted a plan
(the "1995 Stock Option Plan" or the "Plan") pursuant to which the Board of
Directors of the Company is authorized to award up to 2,000,000 options to
purchase Common Stock (the "Plan Options") to officers, employees and
independent contractors of the Company. The Company has also filed a
registration statement covering the shares (the "Plan Shares") acquirable under
the Plan Options. At the present time, no Plan Options have been awarded.
Exercise of Outstanding Warrants May Have Dilutive Effect on Market.
There are presently outstanding warrants or options (collectively, the
"Miscellaneous Warrants") to purchase approximately 4,800,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, after giving effect to the 50% Stock Dividend at a price
of $1.33 per share, for various terms of up to 5 years, which are held by
certain of the Company's officers or directors or their affiliates. The
Miscellaneous Warrants provide, during their respective terms, an opportunity
for the holder to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Stock,
with resulting dilution in the ownership interest in the Company held by the
then present shareholders. Holders of the Miscellaneous Warrants would most
likely exercise them and purchase the underlying Common Stock at a time when the
Company may be able to obtain capital by a new offering of securities on terms
more favorable than those provided by such Miscellaneous Warrants, in which
event the terms on which the Company may be able to obtain additional capital
would be adversely affected. At the present time, neither the Miscellaneous
Warrants nor the shares underlying the Miscellaneous Warrants are registered
under the Act, but the Company reserves the right to do so at any time.
Rights of Common Shareholders May be Affected by Issuance of Preferred
Shares. The Company's Delaware charter authorizes the Board of Directors to
issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value of the
Company, in such amounts and with such rights to dividends, voting, conversion,
redemption and other terms as the Board may determine. No preferred shares are
presently issued or outstanding . If the Board were to authorize and issue
preferred shares, the holders of preferred shares may be entitled to dividends
in preference to the holders of the common stock, may be entitled to preferences
in liquidation, and may be entitled to voting rights, which may affect the
composition of the Board of Directors. See "Dividends" and "Description of
Securities".
Dividends. The Company has paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock
and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the
foreseeable future. The Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent upon,
among other things, future earnings, the operating results and financial
condition of the Company, its capital requirements, general business conditions
and other pertinent factors, and is subject to the discretion of the Board of
Directors. The Board is authorized to issue, at any time hereafter, up to
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock on such terms and conditions as it may
determine, which may include preferences as to dividends. Accordingly, there is
no assurance that any dividends will ever be paid on the Company's Common Stock.
See "Certain Market Information and Dividends" and "Description of Securities".
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not realize any proceeds from the sale of the Shares
covered by this Prospectus. See "Selling Shareholders."
CERTAIN MARKET INFORMATION AND DIVIDENDS
The Common Stock of the Company has been traded on the over-the-counter
market ("OTC Bulletin Board") since September 22, 1993. Prior thereto, there was
no public market for the Company's securities. The bid prices set forth below
represent quotations by brokers making a market in the Company's Common Stock,
do not include retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions, and may not
necessarily reflect actual transactions. See Business-Recent Developments-50%
Stock Dividend. Commencing on June 8, 1994, the Company was listed on the Boston
Stock Exchange and traded under the symbol "DHB."

earnings, management's policy is to retain such earnings for further development
of its business. The payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon
the earnings and financial requirements of the Company and all other relevant
factors, including approval of such dividends by the Board of Directors.
The number of holders of record of the Company's Common Stock on July
23, 1996, was 111; however, the number of holders of record includes several
brokers and depositories for the accounts of their customers. The Company
estimates that shares of Common Stock are held by approximately 800 beneficial
owners.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis of the Company's financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements,
including the notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.
General
The Company is a holding company which is principally engaged through
its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the development, manufacture and distribution
of bullet- and projectile-resistant garments, and the manufacture and
distribution of protective athletic equipment and apparel. (The Company's
acquisition of a subsidiary which manufactures orthopedic products occurred
after the end of the fiscal periods hereinafter discussed.) In August 1995, the
Company acquired certain assets, free of all liabilities (the "Point Blank
Assets") of Point Blank Body Armor, L.P., and an affiliated company
(collectively, "Old Point Blank") at an auction held pursuant to Chapter 7 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code. In late December 1994, the Company started up
its protective athletic equipment business by acquiring the trade inventory,
work in process, raw materials, trade names and trademarks (the "NDL Assets") of
N.D.L. Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, at an auction held pursuant to
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In March 1996, the Company acquired Orthopedic
Products, Inc. ("OPI"), which is a manufacturer of orthopedic products and a
distributor of general medical supplies. Intelligent Data Corporation ("ID"), a
development stage company which is a 98% owned subsidiary of the Company, is
engaged in the design and production of sophisticated telecommunications
equipment for the remote execution and authentication of documents. The Company
also owns a minority interest in several other companies, some privately held
and some publicly held, in the pharmaceuticals business, health care, mining and
snowboard manufacturing. The management of the Company is engaged in the review
of potential acquisitions and in providing management assistance to the
Company's operating subsidiaries.
The Company commenced operations in November 1992 by acquiring the
outstanding common stock of PACA, a manufacturer and distributor of bullet-proof
garments and accessories. From the acquisition of PACA through December 20,
1994, i.e., the date of the start-up of NDL, PACA was the Company's only source
of revenue from operations. Thereafter, and to date, NDL and Point Blank are
also a source of revenue from operations.
The discussion that follows must be considered in light of the
significant changes in the Company's business at the end of 1994, and the
acquisition of the Point Blank Assets in August 1995, and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements, including the notes thereto. The
Company's financial condition and results of operations in the future may also
be materially affected by the Company's acquisition of OPI in March 1996.
The Armor Group's products are sold nationally and internationally,
primarily to law enforcement agencies and military services. Sales to domestic
law enforcement agencies, including government, security and intelligence
agencies, police departments, federal and state correctional facilities, highway
patrol and Sheriffs' departments, comprise the largest portion of the Armor
Group's business. Accordingly, any substantial reduction in governmental
spending or change in emphasis in defense and law enforcement programs could
have a material adverse effect on the Armor Group's business. The acquisition of
the Point Blank Assets is expected to improve the Company's overall penetration
of the market for ballistic-resistant garments, equipment and accessories.
Results of Operations
Three Months ended March 31, 1996, compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1995. Consolidated net sales of the Company for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, increased from, $2,652,000 to approximately $7,045,000. The
increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Point Blank and NDL. The
acquisition of OPI on March 22, 1996 contributed less than $100,000 to sales in
1996. The Company had consolidated net income for 1996 and 1995 of approximately
$581,000 and $30,000, respectively, principally because of the appreciation of
marketable securities and increased sales volume.
Gross profit in 1996 increased 72% over 1995 to $1,950,091. The
Company's gross profit ratio decreased from 43% in 1995 to 27% in 1996; due to
the diversity of the product mix, certain products are being sold at lower
margins.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for 1996
increased to $1,707,026 from $922,157 in 1995. However. as a percentage of net
sales, expenses decreased to 24% of net sales in 1996 compared to 37% in 1995.
This decrease principally resulted from the efficiencies of operating NDL and
Point Blank at the same location.
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the three months ended
1996 increased to $68,532 from $21,569 for 1995, principally due to a decline in
interest income because of the use of the Company's funds in its operating
business, and increases in the borrowings of the Company.
The Company had a net realized loss of $13,985 and an unrealized gain
on its investments in marketable securities of $548,443 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to a net realized gain of $16,853 and an
unrealized loss of $98,560 for the three months ended March 31, 1995
Year Ended December 31, 1995, compared to year ended December 31, 1994.
Consolidated net sales of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1995,
increased by $5,391,721, or 59% to approximately $14,494,000. The increase was
primarily due to the inclusion of Point Blank and NDL. The start-up of NDL on
December 20, 1994, contributed less than $100,000 to sales in 1994 as compared
to $4,276,603 in 1995. The Company had consolidated net income of approximately
$244,000 for 1995, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $75,243 for 1994.
The improved results are attributable to the ability to utilize volume discounts
and eliminating duplication of expenses, as well as income derived from the sale
and appreciation of the Company's marketable securities.
Gross profit in 1995 increased to $5,405,477, an increase of 119% over
1994. The Company's gross profit ratio increased from 27% in 1994 to 37% in
1995, primarily because of the products sold by Point Blank yielded greater
margins.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for 1995
increased to $5,140,399 from $2,250,550 in 1994. These expenses as a percentage
of net sales were 35% in 1995, compared to 25% in 1994. The increase was
attributable to costs associated with move of Point Blank and NDL into the
present location and other nonrecurring expenses.
Interest expense, net of interest income, for 1995 increased to
$261,829 from $78,602 for 1994, principally due to a decline in interest income
because of the use of the Company's funds in its operating business, and
increases in the borrowings of the Company.
The Company had a net realized gain of $675,743 and an unrealized gain
on its investments in marketable securities of $347,817 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, as compared to a net realized loss of $360,817 and an
unrealized loss of $293,854 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Year ended December 31, 1994, compared to the year ended December 31,
1993. Consolidated net sales of the Company for the year ended December 31,
1994, increased by $1,995,000 (28%) to approximately $9,102,000. The increase
was primarily due to higher unit sales of ballistic- resistant vests and related
products by PACA. The start-up of NDL on December 20, 1994, contributed less
than $100,000 to sales in 1994. The Company had a consolidated net loss of
approximately $75,000 for 1994, as compared to consolidated net income of
$231,000 for 1993, principally because of the costs of ID's research and
development on telecommunication products.
Gross profit in 1994 increased to $2,480,756, an increase of 46% over
1993. The Company's gross profit ratio increased from 24% in 1993 to 27% in
1994, primarily because of the mix of products sold in 1993 versus 1994.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for 1994
increased to $2,250,650 from $1,645,921 in 1993. These expenses as a percentage
of net sales were 25% in 1994, compared to 23% in 1993, principally because of
the acquisition of ID in April 1994. In 1994, the Company wrote off a
loan-receivable of approximately $58,000, which was made to the corporation from
which the Company acquired PACA. The loan was secured by accounts receivable,
inventory and a personal guaranty from an officer of the corporation. The
corporation became insolvent and ceased doing business. After all attempts to
collect the debt out of the security, including the personal guaranty, were
unsuccessful, the loan was written off.
Interest expense, net of interest income, for 1994 increased to $65,072
from $31,533 for 1993, principally due to a decline in interest income because
of the use of the Company's funds in its operating business, and increases in
the interest rates available to the Company.
The Company had a net realized loss of $360,817 and an unrealized loss
on its investments in marketable securities of $293,854 for the year ended
December 31, 1994, as compared to a net realized gain of $196,063 and an
unrealized loss of $19,239 for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary capital
requirements over the next twelve months are to assist PACA, Point Blank, NDL,
OPI, ID and Media in financing their working capital requirements, and to make
possible acquisitions. PACA, Point Blank, NDL and OPI sell most of their
products on 60 - 90 day terms, and OPI sells most of its products on 30-60 day
terms, and working capital is needed to finance the receivables, manufacturing
process and inventory.
The Company's principal sources of cash to date have been proceeds from
private offerings of the Company's securities, and, as more fully set forth
below, term bank loans of up to a year's duration, guaranteed by Mr. David H.
Brooks, Chairman of the Board, and certain affiliated persons. At the present
time, the Company is obligated on a note due in September 1996 to the Chase
Manhattan Bank ("Chase") in the principal sum of $1,150,000 bearing interest at
6.255% per year, and on a note due in December 1996 to the Bank of New York
("BNY"), bearing interest at 6.43% per year. The Chase loans are secured by a
security interest in the marketable investment securities of the Company and
certain marketable investment securities of the majority shareholders. The
Company expects to renew these loans, at prevailing interest rates, when they
become due. Of the proceeds drawn down to date, $1,400,000 were used by the
Company to refinance PACA's obligations to another financial institution, and
$1,150,000 were used to purchase the NDL Assets and provide NDL with working
capital. In 1995, the Company realized $815,000 from the exercise of outstanding
Redeemable Warrants.
Mr. David H. Brooks, Chairman of the Board, and/or his wife, Mrs. Terry
Brooks, made term loans due in April 1997 of $1,140,000, bearing interest at 9%
per year, and entered into a collateral agreement [third party] (the "Collateral
Agreement") with Chase to pledge certain marketable securities owned by Mr.
Brooks and Mrs. Brooks to partially secure the term loans and other obligations
of the Company to Chase. In exchange for this, the Company granted to Mrs. Terry
Brooks, on December 20, 1994, 5-year warrants to purchase 3,750,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock after giving effect to the 50% Stock Dividend, at a
price of $1.33 per share. The warrants contain provisions for a one-time demand
registration, and piggyback registration rights. All of the aforesaid loans were
made directly to the Company, and the Company has lent the loan proceeds to NDL.
Mr. David Brooks also lent $2,000,000 to the Company to provide the major
portion of funds needed to purchase the Point Blank Assets, of which $750,000 is
currently outstanding. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks have also pledged certain of their
personal assets to secure the BNY Loan. See "Principal Shareholders" and
"Certain Transactions."
In connection with the start-up of NDL, the Company relocated
substantially all the NDL Assets to a 67,000 square foot office and warehouse
facility located at 4031 N.E. 12th Terrace, Oakland Park, Florida 33334, which
is now owned by affiliates of Mr. Brooks. That facility will also be used by
Point Blank and ID. See "Properties - NDL Facility."
The Company's consolidated working capital at December 31, 1995 and
1994 were $6,526,004 and $5,202,592 respectively, and its ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 1.85:1 and 2.55:1, respectively, on such
dates. The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to meet its working
capital requirements for the next twelve months.
ID's working capital requirements are to finance the manufacturing and
marketing costs associated with its initial product, and research and
development costs associated with product enhancements and new products. ID's
principal sources of working capital will be borrowings. Media's working capital
requirements will be determined as different avenues for the exploitation of its
film library are researched and developed. The film library is not expected to
bring in significant revenues to the Company. The Company believes that it has
sufficient funds to meet Media's anticipated needs for the next twelve months.
The Company invested approximately $3,316.750 (as of March 31, 1996, on
a historical cost basis) in the securities of certain privately held companies
and restricted securities of certain public companies, which are included in
"Investments in Non-marketable Securities" on the Company's balance sheet.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices. The Company did not experience
increases in raw material prices during the year ended December 31, 1995 or
1994, or in the first quarter of 1996. The Company believes PACA, Point Blank
and NDL will be able to increase prices on their products to meet future price
increases in raw materials, should they occur.
BUSINESS
History
The Company was originally incorporated as a New York corporation in
1992, to acquire PACA, which manufactures and distributes ballistic-resistant
equipment and apparel and related products used by police and other
law-enforcement and security personnel. Effective April 17, 1995 (the
"Reincorporation Date"), pursuant to the authorization of the security holders
of the Company, the Company was reincorporated (the "Reincorporation") in
Delaware. Any reference in this Prospectus to the Company as of or for any
period ending prior to the Reincorporation Date includes the New York
corporation. Under the terms of the Reincorporation, the Delaware corporation is
the successor in interest to all the rights, interests, assets and liabilities
of the New York corporation. Holders of certificates which, prior to the
Reincorporation Date, evidenced securities of the New York corporation,
automatically become holders of a like number of securities of the Delaware
corporation and are entitled (subject to compliance with customary procedures)
to exchange their certificates for certificates evidencing the Delaware
corporation.
The Company acquired certain assets of NDL from a debtor-in-possession
under the Bankruptcy Code, and certain assets of Old Point Blank from a trustee
in bankruptcy. The prior owners became unable to utilize the assets in a
profitable business, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to utilize the assets on a profitable basis. Management believes that it
purchased the NDL Assets and the Point Blank Assets at substantial discounts,
because the sellers were trustees in bankruptcy. Though these discounted
purchases do not assure that the Company will be able to utilize these assets
profitably, the discounted purchase prices lower the Company's financial
requirements for starting up or expanding its operating businesses.
DECLARATION OF 50% STOCK DIVIDEND
Recent Developments
On July 1, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 50%
Stock Dividned (the "Stock Dividend") payable on July 16, 1996, to shareholders
of record as of July 15,1996. As a result thereof, the number of outstanding
shares of the Common stock has been increased from 15,303,019 to 22,954,529.
Except where specifically noted, all information in this Prospectus (other than
the financial statements beginning on Page F-1) about shares outstanding, per
share financial information, share prices, option prices, warrant prices, and
the like have been restated to give effect to the Stock Dividend as if it
occurred prior to the date or period for which such information is reported or
disclosed herein. The Summary Financial Information on page 7 has been adjusted
to give effect to the Stock Dividend. The Company will pay cash in lieu of
fractional shares issuable on account of the Stock Dividend; the aggregate
amount of such payments is not expected to be material
Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. and DHB Armor Group, Inc. In August 1995,
the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary now known as Point Blank Body
Armor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter, "Point Blank"), acquired from
a trustee in bankruptcy substantially all the assets (the "Point Blank Assets")
of Point Blank Body Armor, L.P. and an affiliated company (collectively, "Old
Point Blank"), for a cash payment of $2,000,000. Prior to the filing of the
petition in bankruptcy, Old Point Blank had been a leading U. S. manufacturer of
bullet-resistant garments and related accessories. PACA and Point Blank are now
wholly owned by DHB Armor Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Armor
Group"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
In 1990, in connection with certain transactions, the Armor Group
entered into an agreement with American Body Armor & Equipment, restricting the
Company's right to sell products outside the United States and to certain
domestic distributors prior to 2000. In August 1995, in connection with the
settlement of a lawsuit brought by PACA against American Body Armor & Equipment,
Inc., the Armor Group purchased from American Body Armor & Equipment, Inc., the
domestic and international non-competition agreement for total consideration of
$250,000, thereby terminating this agreement and the restriction on the Armor
Group against international sales.
NDL Products, Inc. On December 20, 1994, the Company, through a newly
organized, wholly owned subsidiary, DHB Acquisition, Inc. a Florida corporation,
purchased (the "Transaction") the assets (the "NDL Assets"), free of all
liabilities, of N.D.L. Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation and of its wholly
owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Seller"), for a cash payment of
$3,080,000. Prior to the Transaction, the Seller was a debtor-in-possession
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The transaction was
consummated pursuant to an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern
District of Florida, dated December 20, 1994.
The Seller was engaged in the manufacture and distribution of
protective athletic apparel and equipment, such as elbow, breast, hip, groin,
knee, shin and ankle supports, and wrist, elbow, groin and knee braces. The
Company changed the name of DHB Acquisition, Inc., to "NDL Products, Inc."
(hereinafter, "NDL"), in order to use the NDL Assets to start up a business as a
manufacturer and distributor of specialized protective athletic apparel and
equipment.
The NDL Assets consisted of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid
expenses, inventory (including finished goods, raw materials and
work-in-process), machinery and equipment, customer lists and customer
information, and 80% of the outstanding ordinary shares of NDL Products PTE,
Ltd., a Singapore corporation. The assets also include trademarks and patents
covering a variety of protective athletic equipment. See "NDL Products, Inc."
Orthopedic Products. The Company has very recently entered the
orthopedic products business by acquiring the outstanding capital stock of OPI.
The Company issued 180,000 shares of its registered Common Stock in March 1996,
in two transactions, in exchange for all the outstanding capital stock of OPI.
The former owners of the OPI capital stock continue to be officers of OPI. In
each of the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, OPI had sales in excess of
$3,000,000 and losses of approximately $200,000 in 1995 and $41,000 in 1994.
Other Investments. The Company's investments in securities as of March
31, 1996, were approximately $3,566,750 on a historical cost basis. These
investments are non-controlling minority positions in a number of private and/or
public companies, with a view to hold some of these positions for not more than
4 years. These companies are engaged in a variety of businesses, including
health care, pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostics, telecommunications
equipment, and mining.
Merger with Lehigh Group. On July 8, 1996 The Company and the Lehigh
Group, Inc. ("Lehigh") entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby the
Company would merge into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lehigh. If the merger is
approved by the shareholders of the Company and Lehigh then upon completion of
the proposed transaction, the shareholders of the Company would receive shares
of Lehigh which would represent approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Lehigh, with the balance to be owned by the officers and shareholders
of Lehigh including current directors of Lehigh.
Lehigh whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Lehigh is engaged in the distribution of electrical supplies for export and
import throught its wholly-owned subsidiary Hall-Mark Electrical Supplies Corp.
The proposed transaction is subject to among other things the execution of a
formal agreement approval by the shareholders of the Company and Lehigh, receipt
of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals and an examination of the
properties and books of each company by the other. There is no assurance this
transaction will be consummated.
The Company intends to continue to evaluate and consider the acquistion
of additional businesses which may or may not be related to its current
businesses. Except as set forth above, The Company is not currently involved in
any substantive negotiations for purchasing any business or group of assets.
DHB Armor Group
The Company entered the body-armor business by acquiring PACA at the
end of 1992. PACA is engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of
bullet-, bomb- and projectile-resistant garments, including bullet-resistant
vests, fragmentation-protective vests, bullet-resistant blankets and tactical
load-bearing vests. In addition, PACA distributes other ballistic protection
devices, including helmets, face masks and trauma shields, manufactured by other
companies. In August 1995, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary now
known as Point Blank Body Armor, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Point Blank"),
acquired from a trustee in bankruptcy certain assets (the "Point Blank Assets")
of Point Blank Body Armor, L.P., and an affiliated company (collectively, "Old
Point Blank"), for a cash payment of $2,000,000, which was provided by a loan
from Mr. David Brooks. Prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy, Old
Point Blank had been a leading U.S. manufacturer of bullet- resistant garments
and related accessories. PACA and Point Blank are now wholly owned by DHB Armor
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Armor Group"), which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.
History. PACA was incorporated in January 1975 in New York. In November
1987, PACA underwent a reorganization in bankruptcy, and thereafter was owned by
three other corporate owners. The Company acquired all the outstanding stock of
PACA from The Thunder Group in November 1992. PACA does not have any continuing
relationship with any of its prior corporate owners. A wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company now known as Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. ("Point Blank"),
acquired the Point Blank Assets in August 1995.
Products. PACA manufactures two basic types of body armor: concealable
armor, which is generally intended to be worn beneath the user's clothing, and
tactical armor, which is worn externally and is designed to protect against more
serious ballistic threats. Both types of armor are manufactured using multiple
layers of Kevlar and/or a combination of Kevlar, Spectrashield and Spectra Fibre
ballistic fabric, then covered and fully enclosed in an outer carrier. During
fiscal 1994, body armor constituted more than 90% of the Company's sales, as
compared to 96% in fiscal 1993. Old Point Blank manufactured and distributed a
similar - but broader - line of products, primarily using a ballistic resistant
fabric known as Twaron and the Armor Group expects to manufacture and distribute
substantially all products previously manufactured by Old Point Blank. Although
some products of Point Blank and PACA are competitive with each other, brand
recognition, brand loyalty and distribution channels are expected to minimize
the extent to which products of the two companies may impact each other's sales.
Concealable vests are contoured to closely fit the user's body shape.
PACA and Point Blank each sell a line of vests designed specifically for the
body shapes of women users. Male vests are manufactured in standard sizes and
may also be custom-made. Vests are fastened using Velcro-brand elastic
strapping. Concealable vests may be supplied with a shock plate or Spectrashield
trauma plate, which is a light insert designed to enhance protection of vital
areas. Vests may be supplemented with additional armor plate made of either
metal or ceramic to withstand greater threat levels than the vest is otherwise
designed to protect against. PACA's wholesale prices for its concealable vests
range from approximately $150 to approximately $475. Old Point Blank's wholesale
prices for its concealable vests ranged from approximately $175 to $475, and the
Armor Group expects to continue these prices.
Tactical vests are designed to give all-around protection and more
coverage around the neck, shoulders and kidneys than concealable vests. A groin
protector is a popular accessory. These vests contain pockets to incorporate
small panels constructed from high-alumina ceramic tiles which provide
additional protection against rifle fire. Tactical vests come in a variety of
styles, including tactical assault vests, high-coverage armor, and flak jackets,
each of which is manufactured to protect against varying degrees of ballistic
threat. PACA's wholesale prices of these products range from approximately $370
to approximately $1200. Old Point Blank's wholesale prices for its tactical
garments ranged from approximately $295 to $1025, and the Armor Group expects to
continue these prices.
The Armor Group's other body-armor products include a tactical police
jacket, military field jacket, executive vests, NATO-style vests, fragmentation
vests and attack vests. Bomb and fragmentation vests and parts are designed to
specifications in U.S. government contracts to offer protection against
materials and velocities associated with the fragmentation of explosive devices
such as grenades and artillery shells. In general, concealable vests sold to law
enforcement agencies and distributors are designed to resist bullets from
handguns. Bomb gear utilizes a variety of designs and materials and patterns
slightly different from bullet-resistant vests. PACA also manufactures a variety
of accessories for use with its body-armor products; Old Point Blank did
likewise, and Point Blank expects to continue to manufacture and distribute such
products.
Potential Product Liability. The products manufactured or distributed
by the Armor Group, e.g., bullet-resistant vests, are used in situations which
could result in serious personal injuries and death, whether on account of the
failure of such products, or otherwise. PACA and Point Blank each maintain
product liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and
$8,000,000 in the aggregate for PACA, and $12,000,000 in the aggregate for Point
Blank excluding legal fees, which are borne by the insurance carriers, less a
deductible ($25,000 for PACA, $100,000 for Point Blank). There is no assurance
that these amounts would be insufficient to cover the payment of any potential
claim.. In addition, there is no assurance that this or any other insurance
coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that PACA and Point
Blank would be able to obtain it at a reasonable cost. Any substantial uninsured
loss would have to be paid out of PACA's or Point Blank's assets, as applicable,
and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations on a consolidated basis. In addition, the inability to
obtain product liability coverage would prohibit PACA or Point Blank as
applicable, from bidding for orders from certain governmental customers, because
many governmental agencies require such coverage, and any such inability to bid
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations on a consolidated basis.
Raw Materials and Manufacturing. PACA and Point Blank each manufacture
substantially all of their respective bullet-, bomb- and projectile-resistant
garments and other ballistic-protection devices. The primary raw material used
by PACA in manufacturing ballistic-resistant garments are Kevlar(TM), a patented
product of E.C. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., and Spectrashield(TM) and
SpectraFibre(TM), which are patented products of Allied Signal. Old Point Blank
uses Twaron, a fabric manufactured by Akxo, an Israeli company, in about 60% of
its bullet-resistant garments, and the balance of Point Blank's bullet resistant
products are made with Spectra or Kevlar. Currently, Spectrashield and
SpectraFibre are used in approximately 20% of all vests made by PACA. The Armor
Group purchases cloth woven from these materials from three independent weaving
companies. See "Raw Materials, Sources and Availability". The woven fabric is
placed on tables, layered over patterns for a particular component of a garment
(for example, the front or back of a vest), cut using electric knives, and then
stitched together. The Armor Group utilizes several hundred patterns based upon
size, shape and style (depending upon whether the garment is a bullet-, bomb- or
fragmentation-resistant garment). The various components of the garment are then
sewn together to create the finished product. Kevlar, Spectrashield, Spectra
Fibre and Twaron differ in their pliability, strength and cost, such that the
materials are combined to suit a particular application. In the opinion of
management, PACA enjoys a good relationship with its suppliers of Kevlar
Spectrashield and SpectraFibre The acquisition of the Point Blank Assets is
expected to enable the Armor Group to develop and strengthen its relations with
all its current suppliers. If, however, Du Pont or its European licensee were to
cease, for any reason, to manufacture and distribute the bullet-resistant
fabrics, the Armor Group would be required to utilize other fabrics, and the
specifications of some of the Armor Group's products would have to be modified.
Until the Armor Group selected an alternative fabric and appropriate ballistic
tests were performed, its operations would be severely curtailed and the Armor
Group's financial condition and results of operations would be adversely
affected.
The Armor Group purchases other raw materials used in the manufacture
of their products from a variety of sources and believes additional sources of
supply for these materials are readily available.
Customers. PACA's products are sold principally to United States law
enforcement agencies and the military. Sales to domestic law enforcement
agencies, security and intelligence agencies, police departments, federal and
state correctional facilities, highway patrols and sheriffs' departments
accounted for 29% and 51%, respectively, of the Armor Group's revenues in each
of the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. One customer, the New York City
Police Department, accounted for approximately 5% and 8% of PACA's sales for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. That customer requested
bids for 1995 and 1996, and PACA is the successful bidder for a significant
portion of the contract. The loss of any one customer would not be expected to
have a significant impact on the Armor Group's continuing financial results, due
to the Armor Group's constant submission of bids for new contracts. Old Point
Blank had domestic and international customers.
Sales to the United States armed forces directly or as a subcontractor
accounted for 5% of revenues in 1995, compared to only 1% of revenues in 1994,
and 22% of PACA's total revenues in 1993.
Substantially all sales by PACA to the armed services and other federal
agencies are made pursuant to a standard purchasing contract between PACA and
the General Services Administration of the Federal Government, commonly referred
to as a "GSA Contract". PACA also responds to invitations by military branches
and government agencies to bid for particular orders.
PACA and Point Blank, as GSA Contract vendors, are obligated to make
all sales pursuant to such contract at its lowest unit price. PACA's current GSA
Contract expires July 31, 1996, while Point Blank's contract is from August 1,
1996 through August 1997. The contracts contain a maximum single order limit of
$300,000.
During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, commercial sales
(i.e., sales to non-governmental entities) accounted for 52% and 38%,
respectively, of PACA's revenues.
Marketing and Distribution. PACA employs 1 sales manager, 2 customer
support representatives, 2 regional sales managers and 17 independent sales
representatives who are paid solely on a commission basis. These personnel are
responsible for marketing PACA's products to law enforcement agencies in the
United States. These individuals often call upon personnel within these agencies
who are responsible for making purchasing decisions in order to provide
information concerning PACA's products. Sales are made primarily through
independent local distributors. However, in areas in which there are no suitable
distributors, PACA will fill orders directly. The start-up of Point Blank Body
Armor, Inc., is expected to lessen the Armor Group's dependence on any single
customer, but that objective may not be achieved in the current year.
Substantially all of PACA's advertising is directed toward domestic law
enforcement agencies in the form of catalogues and trade shows. PACA advertises
its products primarily in law enforcement trade magazines and at trade shows.
During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, advertising expenditures were
$72,000 and $117,000, respectively.
Government and Industry Regulations and Standards. Bullet- and
bomb-resistant garments and accessories manufactured and sold by the Armor Group
are not currently the subject of government regulations. However, law
enforcement agencies and the military publish invitations for bidding which
specify certain standards of performance which the bidders' products must meet.
The National Institute of Justice, under the auspices of the United States
Department of Justice, has issued a revised voluntary ballistic standard
(NIJ0101.03) for bullet-resistant vests of several categories. PACA regularly
submits its vests to independent laboratories for ballistic testing under this
voluntary ballistic standard and all of its products have, at the time of
manufacture, met or exceeded such standards in their respective categories.
Point Blank will follow similar practices.
In addition, bullet-resistant garments and hard-armor inserts are
regularly submitted by PACA for rating by independent laboratories in accordance
with a test commonly referred to as V50. This test involves exposing the tested
item to blasts of fragments of increasing velocity until 50% of the fragments
penetrate the materials. The tested item is then given a velocity rating which
may be used by prospective purchasers in assessing the suitability of PACA's
products for a particular application. Point Blank will perform similar tests
internally, rather than retaining an independent testing laboratory.
Competition. The ballistic-resistant garment business is highly
competitive and the number of United States manufacturers is estimated to be
less than 20. Management is not aware of published reports concerning the
market, and most companies are privately held. Nevertheless, PACA believes,
based upon its experience in the industry, that the largest manufacturer was Old
Point Blank prior to its filing for Liquidation under Chapter 7 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. The Company therefore believes that as a result of its
purchase of the Point Blank Assets, it is positioned to become the largest
manufacturer of ballistic-resistant garments in the United States. In the
future, the Company may face other and unknown competitors, some of whom may
have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than the
Company.
The Armor Group believes that the principal elements of competition in
the sale of ballistic- resistant garments are price and quality. In dealings
with law enforcement agencies and the military, PACA and Point Blank bid for
orders in response to invitations for bidding which set forth specifications for
product performance. The Armor Group believes its products are competitive as to
both price and quality with the products of its competitors having similar
ballistic capabilities and that its ability to remain competitive in pricing is
due to its relatively lower labor and production costs. In addition, the Company
believes that the Armor Group enjoys a favorable reputation in the industry
after 17 years of supplying federal, state and municipal governments and
agencies. These factors, combined with the financial resources made available to
the Armor Group by the Company, have permitted it, and are expected to continue
to permit it, to reduce interest expenses, improve production efficiency and
capacity, control purchasing costs and permit the Armor Group to compete
favorably.
In March 1990, before PACA was controlled by the Company, PACA entered
into an agreement with American Body Armor and Equipment, Inc., which prohibited
PACA, for a period of ten years ending March 2000, from soliciting business from
American Body Armor's twelve largest domestic distributors, nor may PACA solicit
business outside the United States relating to the manufacturing, distribution
or sale of projectile-resistant garments and materials and other
ballistic-protection devices, including without limitation personal body armor.
In August 1995, PACA entered into an agreement which terminated all such
restrictions, for a payment of $250,000, which was expensed in the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.
The Armor Group's Backlog. As of December 31, 1995, the Armor Group had
a backlog of approximately $4,100,000, as compared to $1,083,000 as of December
31, 1994, at which time the Company had not yet acquired the Point Blank Assets.
Backlog at any one date is not a reliable indicator of future sales or sales
trends.
In addition to the backlog, which represents orders believed to be
firm, from time to time PACA receives contract awards for municipal orders which
may be placed over an extended period of time. The actual dollar amount of
products to be delivered pursuant to this and similar contracts cannot be
accurately predicted and is generally excluded from reported backlog.
Employees. As of March 31, 1996, there were two officers of the Armor
Group, 16 persons employed in supervisory capacities, 196 employed for
manufacturing, shipping and warehousing, and 12 are office personnel. All of
Armor Group's employees are employed full time. In the opinion of management,
the Armor Group enjoys good relationships with its employees.
NDL PRODUCTS, INC.
On December 20, 1994, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
acquired the NDL Assets for a cash payment of $3,080,000, and renamed the
acquiring subsidiary "NDL Products, Inc." NDL is engaged in business as a
manufacturer and distributor of specialized protective athletic equipment and
apparel.
NDL's protective sports apparel and fitness products and related items
are sold under the brand names NDL(TM), Grid(TM), Dr. Bone Savers(TM),
Hitman(TM) and Flex Aid(TM). NDL has hired new executives for sales and
marketing, production, and new product research and development. NDL has moved
its corporate, manufacturing and warehouse operations into a single building in
Oakland Park, Florida. See "Properties - NDL Facility."
NDL's Marketing and Distribution. NDL employs 2 sales executives who
supervise 30 independent sales representatives who are paid solely on a
commission basis, and who are responsible for sales throughout the United
States, Western Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. These
representatives call on customers, who are generally major retailers and
distributors. NDL also sells to local distributors and has a telemarketing staff
of 4. NDL is evaluating and developing its marketing and sales strategies.
NDL's Potential Products Liability. Some of the products manufactured
or distributed by NDL are used in situations where serious personal injuries
could occur, whether on account of the failure of NDL's products or otherwise.
NDL maintains product liability insurance in the amount of $2,000,000 per
occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, including legal fees, subject to a
$1,000 deductible. There can be no assurance that these amounts would be
sufficient to cover payment of potential claims, and there can be no assurance
that this or any other insurance coverage would continue to be available, or if
available, that NDL would be able to obtain it at reasonable cost. Any
substantial uninsured loss would have to be paid out of NDL's assets and could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results
of operations.
ORTHOPEDIC PRODUCTS, INC.
In March 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock
of Orthopedic Products, Inc., a Florida corporation. OPI is engaged in the
manufacture and sale of orthopedic products, and the distribution and sale of
general medical supplies to orthopedists, orthopedic clinics, hospitals, sports
medicine centers and orthopedic medical practices.
As of March 31, 1996, OPI's has two officers, three people employed in
supervisory capacities, 24 employed for manufacturing, shipping and warehousing,
and four office personnel.
Some of the products manufactured or distributed by OPI are used in
situations where serious personal injuries could occur, whether on account of
the failure of OPI's products or otherwise OPI maintains products liability
insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and $1,000,000 in the
aggregate, including legal fees, subject to a $1,000 deductible.
There can be no assurance that these amounts would be sufficient to
cover payment of potential claims and there can be no assurance that this or any
other insurance coverage would continue to be available, or if available, that
OPI would be able to obtain it at reasonable cost. Any substantial uninsured
loss would have to be paid out of OPI's assets and could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operation.
OTHER CONTROLLED INVESTMENTS
Intelligent Data Corporation, a Nevada corporation, was incorporated in
December 1992 and is a development-stage company. The Company owns 98% of the
outstanding common stock of ID. The balance of ID's common stock is owned by 5
investors. ID is engaged in developing sophisticated telecommunications systems
for remote document signature and authentication, remote issuance of bank or
brokerage cashier's checks and the facilitation of COD payment transactions.
This technology is sometimes referred to as "virtual writing." ID is currently
exploring methods by which it can complete the development of products and bring
them to market. The book value of ID's equipment and fixed assets, when
consolidated with the Company's assets, is not material.
There are, potentially, numerous applications of ID's virtual writing
technology which may be conceived and developed in the future. At the present
time, ID does not have any formal agreements with anybody to market specific
products. To be successful, management of the Company believes that it must
develop contractual relationships with established enterprises to aid in the
design and to market ID's products. There can be no assurance that ID will
develop such relationships, or that, if developed, they will be successful.
Furthermore, ID's competitors, which include some of the world's largest and
most successful enterprises, may develop or otherwise acquire technology which
will enable them to compete successfully with the products which ID may develop.
DHB Media Group Inc. In April 1994, DHB Media Group Inc. ("Media"), a
New York corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired
all the outstanding capital stock of Royal Acquisition Corp., a New York
corporation ("RAC") from RAC's sole shareholder, in exchange for 100,000
registered shares of the Company's Common Stock. RAC's assets consisted of a
loan receivable of approximately $150,000, which Media has collected in full and
the contractual right to receive a library of approximately 2500 films which
were to be obtained, through one or more intermediaries, from a bankruptcy
trustee. Following the closing, the price was adjusted in favor of Media by
$36,550. The film library is not expected to bring in significant revenues to
the Company. The officers and directors of the Company are the officers and
directors of Media. Media has no other employees.
Minority Investments and Possible Future Acquisitions and Investments.
The Company intends to seek, evaluate and acquire controlling or minority
interests in one or more operating companies, including development-stage
companies. In furtherance of this strategy, the Company may consider a public
offering of its shares or an acquisition or merger with a company that has a
public trading market for its securities. There are no agreements or commitments
for any of the foregoing, nor can there be any assurance that the Company will
be able to consummate such transactions.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Company also actively seeks to acquire and finance, as appropriate,
additional operating companies or interests therein. Since January 1, 1994, the
Company made acquired minority interests in the common stock or securities
convertible into common stock, of the following companies:
Zydacron, Inc., which designs and manufactures video teleconferencing
codecs that are fully compliant with ITU H.320 standards. Zydacron
codecs provide full-featured multimedia capabilities that integrate
into micro-computers running Windows 3.1 operating system software.
Zydacron's family of codec products offers a low-cost full-function
"codec engine" that meets existing video teleconferencing environments.
The Company owns 4.6% of the equity.
Darwin Molecular Corporation ("DMC"), which hopes to use DNA sequencing
to create novel drugs for the treatment of cancer, AIDS and auto-
immune disease. The Company owns 3.9% of the equity.
Pinnacle Diagnostics, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation,
which is engaged in marketing a variety of medical diagnostic products.
The Company owns 16.7% of the equity.
Positron Corporation, a publicly held Texas corporation, designs,
manufacturers, markets and services advanced medical imaging devices
which utilize positron emission tomography ("PET") technology. Unlike
other available imaging technologies, PET technologies, PET technology
permits the measurement of the biological processes of organs and
tissues as well as producing anatomical and structural images. The
Company owns less than 2% of the equity securities of Positron.
FED Corporation, a development-stage company, intends to manufacturer
liquid crystal display devices using proprietary field emission display
technologies, which can be used in small notebook computers and other
similar devices. The Company owns 2.9% of the equity.
Solid Manufacturing Co., of Fairplay, Colorado, a privately held
manufacturer of snowboards and related goods and accessories. The
Company owns 9.5% of the equity.
Total Tel USA Communications, Inc., a regional long-distance
telecommunications company presently serving the New York-New Jersey
region, which is traded on NASDAQ. The Company owns 3.4% of the equity.
The Company intends to continue to evaluate and consider the
acquisition of additional businesses, which may or may not be related to its
current businesses. The Company is not currently involved in any substantive
negotiations for purchasing any business or group of assets; except for the
purposed transaction with The Lehigh Group, Inc. ("See Recent Developments").
PROPERTIES
Corporate Headquarters. On January 17, 1996, the Company purchased a
one-story building on a two-acre lot at 11 Old Westbury Road, Old Westbury, New
York, and relocated its corporate headquarters into that building on or about
January 19, 1996. Media and ID use the facilities of the Company's new corporate
headquarters, and Media leases a film storage facility on a month-to-month
basis.
PACA. PACA leases 23,400 square feet of office, manufacturing and
warehouse space at 148 Cedar Place, Norris, Tennessee from Leonard Rosen,
President of PACA, at a present annual rental of $43,200, plus real estate taxes
of approximately $4,800 annually. The space is occupied pursuant to a five-year
lease which expires October 31, 1997, with an option to acquire the property for
$500,000. In the opinion of management, PACA's facilities are adequate for its
current needs and for its needs in the foreseeable future. Management believes
that the terms of the lease are no less favorable to the Company than could be
obtained from an unrelated party.
NDL/Point Blank Facility. NDL Products leases a 67,000 square foot
office and warehouse facility (the "Oakland Park Facility") located at 4031 N.E.
12th Terrace, Oakland Park, Florida 33334 from V.A.E. Enterprises ("V.A.E."), a
partnership controlled by Mrs. Terry Brooks, wife of Mr. David H. Brooks, and
beneficially owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brooks' minor children. V.A.E. purchased the
Oakland Park facility as of January 1, 1995. Point Blank entered into a net-net
lease for a portion of the space in the Oakland Park facility. Annual aggregate
base rental is $480,000 and is scheduled to increase by 4% per year. NDL
Products and Point Blank as lessees, are responsible for all real estate taxes
and other operating and capital expenses. Management believes that the terms of
the lease are no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from an
unrelated party.
OPI. OPI leases an 11,875 square foot office and warehouse facility
located at 2280 Southwest 70th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at an annual
aggregate base rental of $86,000. OPI is responsible for all real estate taxes
and other operating and capital expenses.
PENDING LITIGATION
In June 1996, the Company commenced a lawsuit against the former
president of NDL, Mr. Barry Finn, for breach of his employment agreement. Mr.
Finn has threatened to assert counterclaims against the Company but has not done
so to date. The legal counsel handling the case for the Company have advised
that it is too early to reliably predict the outcome of the case.

The Directors serve for a term of one year following their election at
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and until their successors have been elected
and qualified the officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
David H. Brooks has served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company since its inception. Mr. Brooks has been the Chairman of
the Board, President and a Director of Brooks Industries of L.I., Inc. ("Brooks
Industries"), since October 1988, a New York corporation of which he is the sole
shareholder and through which he makes investments. Brooks Industries engages in
the venture capital business and in securities trading. Mr. Brooks served as a
consultant to U.S. Alcohol Testing of America Inc. during the period from
February 1991 to November 1992 and has, through Brooks Industries, served as a
consultant to Good Ideas Enterprises, Inc., a majority-owned indirect subsidiary
of U.S. Alcohol pursuant to an agreement having a five-year term expiring in May
1997. Mr. Brooks served as a consultant to The Thunder Group, Inc. from October
25, 1991, until the filing of an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition
against The Thunder Group in February 1993. In each case, Mr. Brooks provided
advice on matters relating to the business, financial management and marketing
activities. Mr. Brooks does not serve as a consultant to any other company at
the present time and, other than as previously described, he has not served in
such capacity for more than the past five years. Mr. Brooks received a bachelor
of science degree in accounting from New York University in 1976. Since that
time he has been engaged principally as an investor for his own account.
David H. Brooks, his brother Jeffrey Brooks, and Jeffrey Brooks
Securities, Inc. ("JBSI"), which was wholly owned by Jeffrey Brooks, entered
into a consent decree in December 1992 with the SEC. The SEC had filed a civil
complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (Docket No. 922846) alleging that an employee of JBSI was involved in an
unlawful insider-trading scheme allegedly conducted through JBSI and the filing
of false information by JBSI, a registered broker-dealer. The SEC alleged that
JBSI did not establish, maintain or enforce policies and procedures that are
required under Section 15(f) of the Exchange Act, designed to detect and prevent
insider trading by an employee of JBSI, and that JBSI did not make required
disclosures under Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act. The SEC further alleged
that David Brooks exercised "de facto control" of certain aspects of JBSI's
operations and that David Brooks and Jeffrey Brooks aided and abetted the
reporting violations of JBSI. Pursuant to the settlement of these charges,
without admitting or denying such allegations, David Brooks, Jeffrey Brooks and
JBSI were assessed an aggregate civil fine of $405,000 and were enjoined from
future violations of Section 15(b) and 15(f) of the Exchange Act; David Brooks
was barred from having any direct or indirect interest in, or acting as a
director, officer or employee of, any broker, dealer, municipal securities
dealer, investment advisor, or investment company (provided that David Brooks is
able to apply to become so associated after a five-year period); Jeffrey Brooks
is prohibited from acting in a supervisory capacity with respect to any employee
or any broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, investment company or
investment advisor for a period of one year; and JBSI was required to institute
and maintain procedures pursuant to Section 15(f) of the Exchange Act. Mr. David
Brooks is not under any prohibition from serving as an officer or director of
any public company other than a registered broker-dealer or an investment
company.
Mary Kreidell has served as Treasurer, Secretary, and a Director of the
Company since its inception. Mrs. Kreidell became a Certified Public Accountant
in 1991. She worked for Israeloff, Trattner & Co. CPA'S, P.C., a certified
public accounting firm, for four years prior thereto.
Leonard Rosen is a founder of PACA and has served as its President
since its inception in 1975. He is actively involved in all facets of PACA's
operations, from production to sales. Mr. Rosen has experience in the apparel
industry for over 35 years. He worked closely in the research and development of
ballistic-resistant soft body armor and helmets with the Federal Government,
including serving as a charter member of the committee that conceived the
National Institute of Justice "Ol" Standard for ballistic body armor.
Colonel James Magee, U.S.M.C. (Ret'd), became the President of Point
Blank in October 1995. He was an officer in the United States Marine Corps for
26 years ending in October, 1993. Following his retirement from the Marine Corp,
he became chief of staff and director of operations for a multinational
pharmaceuticals technology company in Columbus, Ohio, until April 1995. He then
served as a senior program manager for a company engaged in security systems
integration, in Washington, D.C.
Joseph Giaquinto has been President of NDL since March, 1995. For more
than 7 years prior thereto, he was a vice president of sales for Tru-Fit
Marketing, of Boston, Massachusetts.
Jeffrey Schepp has been a senior officer and, prior to March 1996, one
of the owners of the capital stock of OPI for more than 5 years.
Leon Wagner has been a senior officer and, prior to March 1996, one of
the owners of the capital stock, of OPI for more than 5 years.
Melvin Paikoff has been the owner and chief executive officer of Parmel
Agency, Inc., a privately held property and casualty insurance agency, for more
than 5 years.
Gary Nadelman has been the president of Synari, Inc., of New York, NY,
a privately held manufacturer and distributor of women's sportswear and other
apparel, for more than 5 years.
Because of the relatively small size of the Company, the loss of a
senior executive may have a materially adverse effect upon the Company until a
suitable replacement can be found.
Executive Compensation.
Summary Compensation Table. The following table sets forth certain
summary information regarding the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and each of its other executive officers whose total salary and bonus
for the year ended December 31, 1995, exceeded $100,000:

(1) Although certain officers receive certain perquisites such as auto
allowances and expense allowances, the value of such perquisites did
not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of the respective officers'
salary and bonus.
2) Certain warrants were awarded to Mrs. Terry Brooks in 1994 and Mr.
David Brooks in 1996; see "Employment Agreements" and "Certain
Transactions."
(3) Mr. Dinkes resigned from all positions with the Company in November
1995. All these options were terminated upon his resignation and
therefore the amounts have not been adjusted for the Stock Dividend.
(4) Mr. Rosen is the lessor of PACA's premises in Norris, Tennessee. See
"Properties" and "Certain Transactions." The Company does not consider
the lease payments to be compensation, because they are not in excess
of the fair market value of the lease.
(5) In October 1995, the Company adopted a plan (the "1995 Stock Option
Plan" or the "Plan") pursuant to which the Board of Directors or a
committee (the "committee") of the Board is authorized to award up to
3,500,000 shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the 50% stock
dividend paid July 16, 1996 to selected officers, employees, agents,
consultants and other persons who render services to the Company. The
options may be issued on such terms and conditions as determined by the
Board or Committee, and may be issued so as to qualify as incentive
stock options under Internal Revenue Code Section 422A. The directors
who are authorized to award options are not eligible to receive options
under the Plan. The Company has filed a registration statement with
respect to the Plan, and shares ("Option Shares") of Common Stock
acquired under the Plan are eligible for resale by non-affiliates
without further registration under the Act; Option Shares acquired by
affiliates of the Company are subject to the registration requirements
of the Act.
Employment Agreements. Mr. Brooks, the CEO of DHB Capital Group, Inc.
is employed pursuant to a five year employment agreement which was entered into
April 1, 1996. Pursuant to the agreement Mr. Brooks receives an annualy salary
of $250,000 through April 1997 with annual increases of $25,000. The terms of
Mr. Brook's contract provide for 750,000 of warrants exercisable at $2.33 and an
annual bonus of ten percnet of the net profit. The Company owns businesses in
Florida and Mr. Brooks is expected to spend considerable time there. Therefore,
this employment contract provides that all expenses associated with the
Employee's Florida residence will be paid by the Employer.
Mr. Rosen is employed pursuant to a five-year employment agreement with
PACA which was entered into at the time the Company acquired PACA, i.e.,
November 6, 1992. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Rosen received salary at the
annual rate of $125,000 until November 1996, and thereafter receives an annual
increase of $10,000.
Mr. Magee , the President of Point Blank, is employed pursuant to an
agreement for a 5-year term expiring September 30, 2000. He receives a base
salary of $120,000 per year and options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the
Common Stock after giving effect to the 50% stock dividend paid July 16, 1996 at
a price of $1.33 per share, exercisable at the rate of not more than 30,000
shares per year. These options are not part of the 3,500,000 shares covered by
the 1995 Stock Option Plan.
NDL's executive, Mr. Giaquinto, has a three year employment contract
providing for an annual base salary of $100,000 and options to purchase 49,500
shares of common stock at a price of $1.33 per share exercisable at the rate of
not more than 16,500 shares per year.
Stock Options. In the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company did not
grant stock options, warrants or similar securities, rights or interests to any
of the executive officer of the Company listed in the Summary Compensation Table
above, and no options, warrants or similar securities, rights or interests were
exercised by any such executive officers. In 1994, a warrant was issued to Mrs.
Terry Brooks in exchange for loans by Mrs. Brooks and her pledging of certain
assets to secure the Company's indebtedness to The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.
See "Certain Transactions."
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports
of changes of ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the
Company.
To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other
reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and
greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with.
Personal Liability and Indemnification of Directors
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws contain
provisions which reduce the potential personal liability of directors for
certain monetary damages and provide for indemnity of directors and other
persons. The Company is unaware of any pending or threatened litigation against
the Company or its directors that would result in any liability for which such
director would seek indemnification or similar protection.
Such indemnification provisions are intended to increase the protection
provided directors and, thus, increase the Company's ability to attract and
retain qualified persons to serve as directors. Because directors' liability
insurance is available only at considerable cost and with low dollar amounts of
coverage and broad policy exclusions, the Company does not currently maintain a
liability insurance policy for the benefit of its directors, although the
Company may attempt to acquire such insurance in the future. The Company
believes that the substantial increase in the number of lawsuits being
threatened or filed against corporations and their directors and the general
unavailability of directors' liability insurance to provide protection against
the increased risk of personal liability resulting from such lawsuits have
combined to result in a growing reluctance on the part of capable persons to
serve as members of boards of directors of public companies. The Company also
believes that the increased risk of personal liability without adequate
insurance or other indemnity protection for its directors could result in
overcautious and less effective direction and management of the Company.
Although no directors have resigned or have threatened to resign as a result of
the absence of such insurance or other indemnity protection from liability, it
is uncertain whether the Company's directors would continue to serve in such
capacities if improved protection from liability were not provided.
The provisions regarding personal liability do not abrogate a
director's fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders, but the personal
liability for monetary damages for breach of that duty. The provisions do not,
however, eliminate or limit the liability of a director for failing to act in
good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law,
for authorizing the illegal payment of a dividend or repurchase of stock, for
obtaining an improper personal benefit, for breaching a director's duty of
loyalty (which is generally described as the duty not to engage in any
transaction which involves a conflict between the interest of the Company and
those of the director) or for violations of the federal securities laws. The
provisions also limit or indemnify against liability resulting from grossly
negligent decisions including grossly negligent business decisions relating to
attempts to change control of the Company.
The provisions regarding indemnification provide, in essence, that the
Company will indemnify its directors against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the
director's status as a director of the Company, including actions brought by or
on behalf of the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do not
require a showing of good faith. Moreover, they do not provide indemnification
for liability arising out of willful misconduct, fraud, or dishonesty, for
"short-swing"profits violations under the federal securities laws, or for the
receipt of illegal remuneration. The provisions also do not provide
indemnification for any liability to the extent such liability is covered by
insurance. One purpose of the provisions is to supplement the coverage provided
by such insurance. However, as mentioned above, the Company does not currently
provide such insurance to its directors, and there is no guarantee that the
Company will provide such insurance to its directors in the near future,
although the Company may attempt to obtain such insurance.
The provisions regarding personal liability of officers and directors
diminish the potential rights of action which might otherwise be available to
shareholders by limiting the liability of officers and directors to the maximum
extent allowable under applicable state law and by affording indemnification
against most damages and settlement amounts paid by a director of the Company in
connection with any shareholder derivative action. However, the provisions do
not have the effect of limiting the right of a shareholder to enjoin a director
from taking actions in breach of his fiduciary duty, or to cause the Company to
rescind actions already taken, although as a practical matter courts may be
unwilling to grant such equitable remedies in circumstances in which such
actions have already been taken. Also, because the Company does not presently
have directors' liability insurance and because there is no assurance that the
Company will procure such insurance or that, if such insurance is procured, it
will provide coverage to the extent directors would be indemnified under such
provisions, the Company may be forced to bear a portion or all of the cost of a
director's claims for indemnification under such provisions. If the Company is
forced to bear the costs for indemnification, the value of the Company stock may
be adversely affected. In the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is contrary to public
policy and, therefore, is unenforceable.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The Company obtained funds for the cash payment required to carry out
the acquisition of the assets used to start up NDL, and for working capital for
NDL, from (i) the Company's working capital, (ii) the Chase Loans, and (iii)
term loans of $1,140,000 from Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, bearing interest at 9% per
year. Under a collateral agreement [third party] (the "Collateral Agreement")
covering securities owned by Mr. David H. Brooks, Chairman of the Board of the
Company, and Mrs. Terry Brooks, his wife, Mr. Brooks and Mrs. Brooks have
pledged certain marketable securities to Chase to partially secure the Chase
Loans and other obligations of the Company to the Chase. In exchange for this,
the Company has agreed to grant to Mrs. Brooks 5-year warrants to purchase
3,750,000 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the stock dividend at a
price of $1.33 per share. The warrants contain provisions for a one-time demand
registration, and piggyback registration rights. Mr. David Brooks also lent
$2,000,000 to the Company to provide the funds needed to purchase the Point
Blank Assets; the outstanding balance on that loan is now $750,000; the Company
obtained funds to pay down the loan by liquidating certain investments at a
profit. In the 12 months ended December 31, 1995, the Company has accrued for
the account of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks a total of $111,750 in interest on their
loans to the Company. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks have also pledged personal assets to
BNY to secure the Company's debt to that bank. The Company entered into an
employment agreement in April 1996 with Mr. Brooks, see "Employment Agreement".
During 1995 and 1996, the Company sold unregistered shares of Common
Stock to approximately 12 persons, including 1,725,000 shares to Mr. Jeffrey
Brooks, and 610,714 shares to Ms. Anna Brooks. Such shares are covered by this
Prospectus. Mr. Jeffrey Brooks is the brother of Mr. David Brooks, and Ms.
Brooks is the mother of Mr. David Brooks. See "Selling Shareholders."
NDL and Point Blank operate at a 67,000 square foot office and
warehouse facility (the "Facility") located at 4031 N.E. 12th Terrace, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida 33334, which it leases from V.A.E. Enterprises ("V.A.E."), a
partnership controlled by Mrs. Brooks and beneficially owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Brooks' minor children, which purchased the Facility on or about January 1,
1995. The lease is a 5-year net-net lease; annual base rental is $480,000 and is
scheduled to increase by 4% per year. The Company, as lessee, is responsible for
all real estate taxes and other operating and capital expenses.
The Company completed a private offering of Class A Shares and Redeemable
Warrants in March 1993. JBSI, which acted as placement agent for the Company,
received a commission of 10% of the purchase price of the Units sold in New York
and Florida, and a non-accountable expense allowance of 3%, totaling
approximately $377,650. JBSI also received 10.9 Unit Purchase Options to
purchase units consisting of 6,250 Class A Shares and 6,250 Redeemable Warrants,
at $27,500 per Unit, and two registered representatives of JBSI received an
aggregate of 11.625 Unit Purchase Options. Jeffrey Brooks, the sole shareholder
of JBSI, is David Brooks' brother. The Company, in order to clear the sale of
shares of Common Stock in May 1993 with the Corporate Financing Department of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., repurchased (i) 142,187
Class A Shares and 142,187 Redeemable Warrants from Jeffrey Brooks, the sole
owner of JBSI, for $568,748, (ii) 3,125 Class A Shares and 3,125 Redeemable
Warrants from Paul Kazak, an associate of JBSI, for $12,500, and (iii) 1,562
Class A Shares and 1,562 Redeemable Warrants from Jason Chang, an associate of
JBSI, for $6,248, which, in each case, was the price paid to the Company for
such securities. In addition, JBSI, Paul Kazak and Jason Chang have returned the
11.625 Unit Purchase Options to the Company for cancellation. (The forgoing
number of shares have not been adjusted for the Stock Dividend). The Company
also paid interest on the foregoing amounts. JBSI returned commissions
previously received in the aggregate of $58,750 related to the repurchased
securities. See "Risk Factors" and "Management" for information concerning the
settlement of an SEC action by David Brooks, Jeffrey Brooks and JBSI.
PACA leases 23,400 square feet of office, manufacturing and warehouse
space at 148 Cedar Place, Norris, Tennessee from Leonard Rosen, President of
PACA, at a present annual rental of $43,200, plus real estate taxes of
approximately $4,800 annually. The space is occupied pursuant to a five-year
lease which expires October 31, 1997, with an option to acquire the property for
$500,000. In the opinion of management, the rental is fair and reasonable and is
approximately at the same rate that could be obtained from an unaffiliated
lessor for property of similar type and location. In the opinion of management,
PACA's facilities are adequate for its current needs and for its needs in the
foreseeable future.
The Company was organized by David H. Brooks on October 22, 1992. On
November 6, 1992, Mr. Brooks purchased 12,000,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock for the sum of $8,000 and loaned the Company $1,200,000 on an unsecured
basis. The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock purchased by Mr. Brooks
was arbitrarily determined. The loan was evidenced by a demand promissory note
which bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum and was repaid in March 1993 in
full from the proceeds of a private placement transaction described above.
On November 6, 1992, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of PACA for $800,000 from ESC Industries, Inc. ("ESC")
and loaned ESC $100,000. In addition, and as part of the transaction, the
Company acquired 2,000,000 common stock purchase warrants from The Thunder
Group, Inc., ESC's parent, for $205,000. Each warrant permits the purchase of
one share of common stock of The Thunder Group, Inc. for $0. 10 per share during
the period ending November 30, 1997. The Thunder Group, Inc., and ESC are now
out of business and the warrants have no value. At the time of these
transactions, Mr. Brooks and certain of sac affiliates owned 775,000 shares of
the common stock of The Thunder Group, Inc., representing approximately 5.6% of
such outstanding shares, and warrants to acquire an additional 750,000 shares.
The transactions between the Company, The Thunder Group, and its affiliates were
negotiated at arm's length and were supported by an opinion of an independent
business appraisal as to the fairness of the purchase price paid for PACA. See
"Business - History".
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, and rights accorded to holders of Common Stock
generally and as a matter of law, and does not purport to be complete. It is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company's By-Laws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law.
See "Special Notice Regarding Reincorporation in Delaware" and "Business -
History."
Common Stock
General. Under the Company's Delaware charter and applicable law, the
Board of Directors has broad authority and discretion to issue convertible
preferred stock, options and warrants, which, if issued in the future, may
impact the rights of the holders of the Common Stock.
Dividends. Holders of Common Stock may receive dividends if, as and
when dividends are declared on Common Stock by the Company's Board of Directors.
On July 1, 1996 the Company declared a 50% stock dividend to shareholders of
record on July 15, 1996 payable July 16, 1996. If the Board of Directors
hereafter authorizes the issuance of preferred shares, and such preferred shares
carry any dividend preferences, holders of Common Stock may have no right to
receive dividends unless and until dividends have been declared and paid. At the
present time, there is no preferred stock authorized or outstanding. The ability
of the Company to lawfully declare and pay dividends on Common Stock is also
limited by certain provisions of applicable state corporation law. It is not
expected that dividends will be declared on the Common Stock in the foreseeable
future.
Distributions in Liquidation. If the Company is liquidated, dissolved
and wound up for any reason, distribution of the Company's assets upon
liquidation would be made first to the holders of preferred shares, if any, and
then to the holders of the Common Stock. If the Company's net assets upon
liquidation were insufficient to permit full payment to the holders of shares of
preferred stock, if any, then all of the assets of the Company would be
distributed pro rata to the holders of shares of preferred stock and no
distribution will be made to the holders of the Common Stock. There are no
shares of preferred stock authorized, issued or outstanding at this time. A
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other company, or the
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, is not deemed a
liquidation, distribution or winding up for this purpose.
Voting Rights. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on
all matters to be voted on at meetings of the shareholders of the Company,
including the election of directors. The holders of Common Stock will be
entitled to elect all of the Company's directors. Holders of Common Stock do not
have any cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights.
Preferred Shares
The Company's Delaware charter authorizes the Board of Directors to
issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value of the
Company, in such amounts and with such rights to dividends, voting, conversion,
redemption and other terms as the Board may determine. At this thine, no
preferred stock is authorized, issued or outstanding. The Company had previously
issued Class A convertible preferred stock, but all outstanding preferred shares
were converted prior September 30, 1995.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
An aggregate of up to 3,901,515 Shares of Common Stock after giving
effect to a 50% Stock Dividend payable July 16, 1996 may be offered by the
Selling Shareholders. The Shares offered hereby constitute approximately 15% of
all shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, without giving effect to
the possible exercise of outstanding warrants, except as noted. The following
table sets forth certain information with respect to persons for whom the
Company is registering for resale to the public shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The table reflects such persons' ownership of the Common Stock as of July
23, 1996, without giving effect to the sales of any shares under the other
registration statements. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of the Shares. There are no material relationships between any of the Selling
Shareholders and the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates, nor have
any such material relationships existed within the past three years, except as
noted.

*Less than one (1%) percent.
**All amounts in the table and the related footnotes below take into
effect the 50% Stock Dividend paid July 16, 1996.
1. Calculated by dividing the number of shares owned by each respective
Selling Shareholder by the sum of (i) all shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding as of July 15, 1996, i.e., 22,954,529 shares, and (ii)
4,800,000 shares of Common Stock which may hereafter be issued pursuant
warrants awarded to certain executive officers of the Company, or their
affiliates.
2. Some of the Selling Shareholders are offering shares for sale under a
prospectus which is part of a different Registration Statement. The
amounts in this column do not give effect to the possible sale of those
shares.
3. Ms. Brooks is the mother of Mr. David H. Brooks, Chairman of the Board
and majority shareholder of the Company. Each disclaims beneficial
ownership in shares owned by the other. The number of shares includes
approximately 33,000 which Ms. Brooks owns jointly with her brother,
Mr. Leon Jacobs, who is also a selling shareholder under a prospectus
dated August 14, 1995. Mr. Jacobs is not a Selling Shareholder under
this Prospectus.
4. Messrs. Jeffrey Brooks and David H. Brooks are brothers. Each disclaims
beneficial ownership in shares owned by the other.
5. Includes 45,000 shares which Mr. Giaquinto owns jointly with his wife.
6. Includes 37,500 shares held by Mr. Paikoff as a trustee of a defined
benefit retirement plan. Mr. Paikoff became a director of the Company
on November 15, 1995.
7. Includes 75,000 shares which are acquirable pursuant to warrants
awarded to Mr. Rosen. Does not include 4,350 shares owned by Mr.
Rosen's wife.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders may be effected from
time to time in transactions (which may include block transactions by or for the
account of the Selling Shareholders) in the over-the-counter market or in
negotiated transactions, a combination of such methods of sale, or otherwise.
Sales may be made at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling their
Shares of Common Stock directly to purchasers, through broker-dealers acting as
agents for the Selling Shareholders, or to broker-dealers who may purchase
shares as principals and thereafter sell the Shares from time to time in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such
broker-dealers, if any, may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions, or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers
for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they may sell as
principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be
in excess of customary commissions).
The Selling Shareholders and broker-dealers, if any, acting in
connection with such sale might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any commission received by
them and any profit on the resale of the securities might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
The Selling Shareholders each entered into a registration rights
agreement with the Company providing for the registration of the shares of
Common Stock under the Securities Act and the blue sky laws of the several
states. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the Company is required
to bear the cost of such registration and indemnify the Selling Shareholders
against certain liabilities, including those under the Securities Act. Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted
pursuant to the above-described agreements or otherwise to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Company, the Company has been advised that, in
the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy expressed
in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon for
the Company by the Law Offices of D. David Cohen, Jericho Atrium - Suite 133,
500 North Broadway, Jericho, New York 11753.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors of
DHB Capital Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DHB Capital
Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and the related
consolidated statements of income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidating 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 consolidated financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DHB Capital Group, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, in conformity

DHB CAPITAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION/REPORTING ENTITIES
The consolidated financial statements of DHB Capital Group, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") include the following entities:
DHB Capital Group, Inc.
DHB Capital Group Inc. ("DHB") was incorporated on October 22, 1992 under the
laws of the State of New York. DHB was organized to seek, acquire and finance,
as appropriate, one or more operating companies. On February 15, 1995, the
holders of the common stock approved a re-incorporation of DHB as a Delaware
corporation, through a merger with a newly formed Delaware corporation.
Protective Apparel Corporation of America
Protective Apparel Corporation of America ("PACA") was organized in 1975 and is
engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of bullet and
projectile resistant garments, including bullet resistant vests, fragmentation
vests, bomb projectile blankets and tactical load bearing vests. In addition,
PACA distributes other ballistic protection devices including helmets and
shields. PACA is dependent upon a few suppliers for the raw materials utilized
to manufacture its products.
On November 6, 1992, PACA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DHB, when DHB
purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of PACA from PACA's former
parent, E.S.C. Industries, Inc, for $800,000. The transaction was accounted for
as a purchase and resulted in an excess purchase price over the fair market
value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $465,278,
of which $312,086 was allocated to on-going government contracts and $153,192
was allocated to goodwill.
Intelligent Data Corp.
On April 1, 1994, the Company acquired 4,530,000 common shares (60.4% interest)
and 1,100,000 preferred shares of stock in Intelligent Data Corp. ("ID"), in
exchange for 425,000 shares of the Company's common stock. ID is engaged in the
development of sophisticated telecommunication systems. On July 1, 1994, a put
option was exercised by certain shareholders of ID resulting in an increase in
the Company's ownership to 89.58%. In December 1994, the Company converted all
of its preferred shares to common shares, increasing the Company's ownership to
98.35%. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and resulted in an
excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed of $472,666 which was allocated to patents owned by ID.
DHB Media Group, Inc.
On April 15, 1994, DHB Media Group, Inc. ("Media"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Royal Acquisition
Corp. in exchange for 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for a
purchase price of $300,000. Subsequent negotiations resulted in the reduction of
the acquisition cost by $36,550. Royal Acquisition Corp.'s primary assets were a
film library and a loan receivable of $150,000. The transaction was accounted
for as a purchase and resulted in the excess purchase price over the fair market
value of $113,450, of which $54,000 was allocated to the film library and
$59,450 was allocated to goodwill. Media intends to syndicate and market these
films. The loan receivable was collected in full during the year ended December
31, 1994.
NDL Products, Inc.
On December 20, 1994, the Company through a newly organized, wholly-owned
subsidiary, DHB Acquisition, Inc., ("Acquisition") purchased certain assets from
a debtor-in-possession, N.D.L. Products, Inc. for $3,080,000. Acquisition did
not assume any continuing obligations of the debtor-in-possession, nor did the
management of the debtor-in- possession continue. On February 21, 1995,
Acquisition changed its corporate name to NDL Products, Inc. NDL manufactures
and distributes specialized protective athletic apparel and equipment.
DHB Armor Group, Inc.
On August 8, 1995, the Company started a new Delaware Corporation which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The subsidiary, DHB Armor Group, Inc.,
("Armor"), now wholly owns PACA and Point Blank Body Armor, Inc., ("Point
Blank").
Point Blank Body Armor, Inc.
In August 1995, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary known as USA
Fitness & Protection Corp, a Delaware Corporation, acquired from a trustee in
bankruptcy certain assets of Point Blank Body Armor, L.P. and an affiliated
company ("Old Point Blank"), for a cash payment of $2,000,000, free of all
liabilities. Prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy, Old Point Blank
had been a leading U.S. manufacturer of bullet-resistant garments and related
accessories. After acquiring the Old Point Blank, USA Fitness & Protection
Corp., amended its articles of incorporation to change their name to Point Blank
Body Armor, Inc. ("Point Blank").
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.
USE OF 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 of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
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. Significant estimates include
those relating to the valuation of inventories and non-marketable securities,
and collectibility of receivables.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized on product sales upon shipment to the customer.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company includes cash on
deposit, money market funds and amounts held by brokers in cash accounts to be
cash equivalents.
MARKETABLE/NON-MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Effective for calendar year 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities." In accordance with this standard, Securities which are
classified as "trading securities" are recorded in the Company's balance sheet
at fair market value, with the resulting unrealized gain or loss recognized as
income in the current period. Securities which are classified as "available for
sale" are also reported at fair market value, however, the unrealized gain or
loss on these securities is listed as a separate component of shareholder's
equity.
Non-marketable securities, such as investments in privately-held companies are
carried at historical cost, if necessary, reduced by a valuation allowance to
net realizable value.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Major expenditures for property and
those which substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. Maintenance,
repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are included in income.
Depreciation is provided by both straight-line and accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. The amount
allocated to on-going government contracts is being amortized over the life of
the individual contracts, which are typically 1-5 years. Patents are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years. Other intangible assets are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives, typically
5-15 years. Accumulated amortization was $409,297 and $301,033 as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The computation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted average
number of outstanding common shares outstanding during the period. Primary
earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share amounts assume the
conversion of the Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and the exercise of
the stock warrants.
INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated Federal tax return, which includes all of the
subsidiaries. Accordingly, Federal income taxes are provided on the taxable
income of the consolidated group. State income taxes are provided on a separate
company basis, if and when taxable income, after utilizing available carryfoward
losses, exceeds certain levels.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes arise principally from net operating losses and capital losses
available for carryfoward against future years taxable income, and the
recognition of unrealized gains(losses) on marketable securities for financial
statement purposes, which are not taxable items for income tax purposes.

The composition of the federal and state deferred taxes at December 31, 1995 was
arrived at as follows:
Federal State

Net Operating Loss $ 36,000 $ --
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 10,500 5,600
Capital Loss Carryforwards -- 70,300
Unrealized gain on Marketable Securities (52,100) (31,300)

against future years' taxable income of approximately $240,000 for tax purposes,
which would expire in 2008. The deferred tax assets for the future benefit of
the capital loss carryfoward was reduced in full by a valuation allowance of

a separate company basis for state tax purposes may not be available to provide
the full realization of such an asset.

Inventories - Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods for
resale and raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the first-in, first-out basis.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at cost and
depreciated in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the assets to
operations over their estimated useful lives, using accelerated methods.
Intangible Asset - Goodwill is being amortized, using the straight line

Income Taxes - The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." There are no temporary
differences between financial statement and income tax reporting.
NOTE 2. NOTE PAYABLE - BANK
The Company has revolving credit facility of $450,000 from First Union
National Bank. It bears interest at 1% above prime. It is collateralized by
inventories, accounts receivable, property and equipment and guarantees by
the stockholders. Under the terms of the credit facility, the bank advances
funds (up to the credit limit) to cover the Company's checks as they are
presented. The Company has $218,754 outstanding against that line and a net
overdraft of $62,964 or a total of $281,718 at September 30, 1995 and

NOTE 4. DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
The Company owes its stockholder-officers $149,100 as accrued salaries from
prior years. It is anticipated that this amount will not be repaid within the
next twelve months.
NOTE 5. SALES TAX AUDIT SETTLEMENT:
The Florida Department of Revenue conducted an audit of Sales and Use Tax
collections for the period January 1, 1985 to October 31, 1992. The Company
settled the audit for $209,998, with interest accruing at 9% per annum. The note
is payable in seventy-two monthly payments of $3,600. Initially the payments are
applied in full to the tax liability. Once the tax liability is paid in full,
July 15, 2000 the payments are applied to the accrued interest. Although the
settlement was concluded in 1995, effect was given to it in the year ended
September 30, 1994. The company now collects and remits Florida sales taxes on
those sales deemed to be taxable.
NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
Components of income taxes benefit (expense) are as follows:

======= ======
The composition of deferred taxes at September 30, 1995 was $12,600 for Federal
taxes. The Company has not provided for valuation allowance at September 30,
1995, because the Company anticipates they will be able to utilize the
carryforward losses before they expire. At September 30, 1995 the Company has
operating losses available for carryforward against future years' taxable income
of approximately $84,000 for tax purposes, which would expire in 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tables included in the footnotes are in thousands except for per share data)
1 - General
The Lehigh Group Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly owned
subsidiary, HallMark Electrical Supplies Corp. ("HallMark"), is engaged in the
distribution of electrical supplies for the construction industry both
domestically (primarily in the New York Metropolitan area) and for export.
HallMark was acquired by the Company in December 1988. HallMark's sales include
electrical conduit, armored cable, switches, outlets, fittings, panels and wire
which are purchased by HallMark from electrical equipment manufacturers in the
United States. Approximately 60% of HallMark's sales are domestic and 40% are
export. Export sales are made by sales agents retained by HallMark. Distribution
is made in approximately 26 countries including Bermuda, Costa Rica, Venezuela,
Columbia, Ecuador and Panama. Since November 1, 1992, HallMark's export business
has been conducted primarily from Miami, Florida.
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include all
of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using a
first-in, first-out basis to determine cost. Inventories consist of electrical
supplies held for resale.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are carried at
cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements are
provided over the life of each respective lease.
Income Taxes - In 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the use of the
liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The provision for
income taxes typically includes Federal, state and local income taxes currently
payable and those deferred because of temporary timing differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The financial
statements do not include a provision for income taxes due to the Company's net
operating losses.
Earnings per Share - Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of
common shares and share equivalents outstanding during each period. Excluded
from fully diluted computations are certain stock options granted (12,000,000
options which are contingently exercisable pending the occurrence of certain
future events).
Treasury Stock - Treasury stock is recorded at net acquisition cost. Gains and
losses on disposition are recorded as increases or decreases to capital with
losses in excess of previously recorded gains charged directly to retained
earnings.
Stock Options - During 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued. The Company has not
elected early adoption which allows a choice of either the intrinsic value
method or the fair value method of accounting for employee stock options. The
Company expects to select the option to continue the use of the current
intrinsic value method.
THE LEHIGH GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tables included in the footnotes are in thousands except for per share data)
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 of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of 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 these estimates.
Long-Lived Assets - During 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long
Lived-Assets to be Disposed Of," was issued. The adoption of this pronouncement
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying values of financial
instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximate fair value at December 31, 1995, because of the
relative short maturities of these instruments. It is not possible to presently
determine the market value of the long term debt and notes payable given the
Company's current financial condition.
Statements of Cash Flows - Cash equivalents include time deposits with original
maturities of three months or less.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are shipped or when
services are rendered.
Presentation of Prior Years Data - Certain reclassifications have been made to
conform prior years data with the current presentation.

3 - Sale of Subordinated Debenture
On March 28, 1996, the Company issued a $300,000 subordinated debenture
to Macrocom Investors, LLC. The debenture includes interest at 2% per annum over
the prime lending rate of Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. payable monthly commencing
May 1996. The principal balance is payable April 1, 1998. The debenture granted
the lender a five year warrant to purchase a number of shares equal to $300,000
divided by the price equal to the average closing bid price of the Company's
common stock for the ten business days prior to the date of closing of the
financing. The debenture contains various restrictions on the Company and is
secured by 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, HallMark Electrical Supplies Corp. The Company has entered into an
agreement with a financial services company to use its best efforts to raise an
additional $450,000 under the same terms and conditions. Management believes
that the proceeds of the $300,000 subordinated debenture combined with current
working capital will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for the
balance of 1996.
4 - Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 1991, the Company sold its right, title and interest in
the stock of the various subsidiaries which made up its discontinued interior
construction and energy recovery business segments subject to existing security
interests. The excess of liabilities over assets of subsidiaries sold amounted
to approximately $9.6 million. Since 1991, the Company has reduced this deferred

Subordinated Debentures and Senior Subordinated Notes
On March 15, 1991, pursuant to a restructuring done by the Company (the
"1991 Restructuring"), the holders of $8,760,000 principal amount of the 14-7/8%
Debentures exchanged such securities, together with the accrued but unpaid
interest thereon, for $2,156,624 principal amount of Class B Notes and
53,646,240 shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the holders of $33,840,000
principal amount of the 13-1/2% Notes exchanged such securities, together with
the accrued but unpaid interest thereon, for $8,642,736 principal amount of
Class B Notes and 212,650,560 shares of Common Stock.
THE LEHIGH GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tables included in the footnotes are in thousands except for per share data)
The Company was in default of certain covenants to the holders of Class
A Notes and Class B Notes (the "Notes") at December 31, 1992 and 1991 and, as a
consequence, the Notes were classified as current in the 1992 and 1991 Financial
Statements. The Company continues to be in default in the payment of interest
(approximately 635,000 and $482,000 of interest is past due as of December 31,
1995 and 1994) on the $500,000 principal amount of 13-1/2% Notes and 14-7/8%
Debentures that were not tendered in the Company's 1991 Restructuring. In May
1993 the Company reached an agreement (the "1993 Restructuring") whereby
participating holders of the Notes ("Noteholders") surrendered their Notes,
together with a substantial portion of their Common Stock, and, in exchange
therefore, the Noteholders acquired, through a newly formed corporation ("LVI
Holding"), all of the stock of LVI Environmental Services Group Inc. ("LVI
Environmental"), a subsidiary of the Company that conducted its asbestos
abatement operations. Management of LVI Environmental have a minority equity
interest in LVI Holding. As a consequence, the Company's outstanding
consolidated indebtedness was reduced from approximately $45.9 million to
approximately $3.6 million (excluding approximately $120,944 of indebtedness
under Class B Notes that LVI Holding agreed to pay in connection with the 1993
Restructuring but for which the Company remains liable). Since the Noteholders
were also principal stockholders of the Company, the gain from this transaction,
net of the carrying value of LVI Environmental, was credited directly to
additional paid-in capital.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15,
the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes were carried on the consolidated balance
sheet at the total expected future cash payments (including interest and
principal) specified by the terms of the Notes. A gain on early extinguishment
of debt occurred as a result of the carrying amounts of the 13-1/2% Notes,
14-7/8% Debentures and Senior Secured Notes (including accrued but unpaid
interest and unamortized deferred financing costs) being greater than the fair
market value of the common stock issued, the net assets transferred to a
liquidating trust, and total expected future cash payments of the Class A Notes
and Class B Notes, net of direct restructuring costs.
Included in interest and other income in 1995 is approximately $380,000
of other income which represents an adjustment to the value of certain items
which relate to the Company's 1991 Restructuring.
The Company continues to be in default in the payment of interest
(approximately $635,000 and $482,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively) and principal of the $500,000 on the 13- 1/2 Notes and 14-7/8
Debentures not tendered in the Company's 1991 Restructuring. The principal of
$500,000 is included as current maturities of long term debt and the unpaid
interest is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Note Payable
On June 30, 1993, HallMark restructured its revolving credit facility
as an installment loan. The loan is collateralized by the inventory and
receivables at HallMark. Monthly principal payments of $30,000 are due through
December 31, 1998 and the final payment is due on January 31, 1999.
Payments on the Note are due as follows:
1996 360
1997 360
1998 360
1999 1,360

7 - Income Taxes
At December 31, 1995, the Company had a net deferred tax asset
amounting to approximately $1.6 million. The net deferred tax asset consisted
primarily of net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards, and temporary differences
resulting from inventory and accounts receivable reserves, and it is fully
offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
The Company did not have Federal taxable income in 1995, 1994, and 1993
and, accordingly, no Federal taxes have been provided in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had
NOL carryforwards of approximately $4.5 million expiring through 2010.
8 - Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company and its subsidiaries lease machinery, office and warehouse
space, as well as certain data processing equipment and automobiles under
operating leases. Rent expense aggregated $177,336, $148,000, and $191,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
Future minimum annual lease commitments, primarily for office and
warehouse space, with respect to noncancellable leases are as follows:
1996 103
1997 104
1998 105
1999 114
2000 118
Thereafter 433

$ 977
In addition to the above, certain office and warehouse space leases
require the payment of real estate taxes and operating expense increases.
Employment Agreements
On August 22, 1994 the Company and Mr. Salvatore Zizza entered into an
employment agreement providing employment to Mr. Zizza through December 31, 1999
as President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
at an annual salary of $200,000.
On January 1, 1995 the Company and Mr. Robert Bruno entered into an
employment agreement providing employment to Mr. Bruno through December 31, 1999
as Vice President and General Counsel of the Company at an annual salary of
$150,000. The agreement calls for deferral of $50,000 of Mr. Bruno's salary each
year until the Company's annual revenues exceed $25 million. The $50,000
deferral has not been accrued due to uncertainty regarding the Company achieving
$25 million in sales.

Litigation
The State of Maine and Bureau of Labor Standards commenced an action
against the Company and Dori Shoe Company (an indirect former subsidiary) to
recover severance pay under Maine's plant closing law. The case was tried
without a jury on December 12 and 13, 1994 in Maine Superior Court. Under that
law, an "employer" who shuts down a large factory is liable to the employees for
severance pay at the rate of one week's pay for each year of employment.
Although the law did not apply to the Company at the time that the Dori Shoe
plant was closed it was amended so as to arguably apply to the Company
retroactively.
In a prior case brought against the Company (then known as Lehigh
Valley Industries) and its former subsidiary under the Maine severance pay
statute prior to its amendment the Company was successful against the State of
Maine (see Curtis v. Loree Footwear and Lehigh Valley Industries, 516 A. 2d 558
(Me. 1986)).
The Superior Court by decision docketed April 10, 1995 entered
judgement in favor of the former employees of Dori Shoe Company against Dori
Shoe and the Company in the amount of $260,969. plus prejudgment interest and
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the Plaintiff upon their application
pursuant to Maine Rules of Civil Procedure 54(b) (3) (d). Interest and other
fees are approximately $100,000 at December 31, 1995. The Company filed a timely
appeal appealing the decision and the matter was argued before the Maine Supreme
Judicial Court on December 7, 1995. The Company's attorneys in Maine believe
that the application of Maine's amended severance pay statute is
unconstitutional under both the Maine and United States constitutions. Since the
Company's appeal, no further action has taken place. Approximately $350,000 has
been accrued for by the Company relating to this judgement.

Environmental Services Group Inc. The Company's consolidated indebtedness was

DHB CAPITAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION/REPORTING ENTITIES
The consolidated financial statements of DHB Capital Group, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and operating results for the interim period. The
consolidated Company includes the following entities:
DHB Capital Group, Inc.
DHB Capital Group Inc. ("DHB") was incorporated on October 22, 1992 under the
laws of the State of New York. DHB was organized to seek, acquire and finance,
as appropriate, one or more operating companies. On February 15, 1995, the
holders of the common stock approved a re-incorporation of DHB as a Delaware
corporation, through a merger with a newly formed Delaware corporation.
Protective Apparel Corporation of America
Protective Apparel Corporation of America ("PACA") was organized in 1975 and is
engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of bullet and
projectile resistant garments, including bullet resistant vests, fragmentation
vests, bomb projectile blankets and tactical load bearing vests. In addition,
PACA distributes other ballistic protection devices including helmets and
shields. PACA is dependent upon a few suppliers for the raw materials utilized
to manufacture its products.
On November 6, 1992, PACA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DHB, when DHB
purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of PACA from PACA's former
parent, E.S.C. Industries, Inc, for $800,000. The transaction was accounted for
as a purchase and resulted in an excess purchase price over the fair market
value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $465,278,
of which $312,086 was allocated to on-going government contracts and $153,192
was allocated to goodwill.
Intelligent Data Corp.
On April 1, 1994, the Company acquired 4,530,000 common shares (60.4% interest)
and 1,100,000 preferred shares of stock in Intelligent Data Corp. ("ID"), in
exchange for 425,000 shares of the Company's common stock. ID is engaged in the
development of sophisticated telecommunication systems. On July 1, 1994, a put
option was exercised by certain shareholders of ID resulting in an increase in
the Company's ownership to 89.58%. In December 1994, the Company converted all
of its preferred shares to common shares, increasing the Company's ownership to
98.35%. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and resulted in an
excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed of $472,666 which was allocated to patents owned by ID.
DHB Media Group, Inc.
On April 15, 1994, DHB Media Group, Inc. ("Media"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Royal Acquisition
Corp. in exchange for 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for a
purchase price of $300,000. Subsequent negotiations resulted in the reduction of
the acquisition cost by $36,550. Royal Acquisition Corp.'s primary assets were a
film library and a loan receivable of $150,000. The transaction was accounted
for as a purchase and resulted in the excess purchase price over the fair F-29
market value of $113,450, of which $54,000 was allocated to the film library and
$59,450 was allocated to goodwill. Media intends to syndicate and market these
films. The loan receivable was collected in full during the year ended December
31, 1994.
NDL Products, Inc.
On December 20, 1994, the Company through a newly organized, wholly-owned
subsidiary, DHB Acquisition, Inc., ("Acquisition") purchased certain assets from
a debtor-in-possession, N.D.L. Products, Inc. for $3,080,000. Acquisition did
not assume any continuing obligations of the debtor-in-possession, nor did the
management of the debtor-in-possession continue. On February 21, 1995,
Acquisition changed its corporate name to NDL Products, Inc. NDL manufactures
and distributes specialized protective athletic apparel and equipment.
DHB Armor Group, Inc.
On August 8, 1995, the Company started a new Delaware Corporation which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The subsidiary, DHB Armor Group, Inc.,
("Armor"), now wholly owns PACA and Point Blank Body Armor, Inc., ("Point
Blank").
Point Blank Body Armor, Inc.
In August 1995, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary known as USA
Fitness & Protection Corp, a Delaware Corporation, acquired from a trustee in
bankruptcy certain assets of Point Blank Body Armor, L.P. and an affiliated
company ("Old Point Blank"), for a cash payment of $2,000,000, free of all
liabilities. Prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy, Old Point Blank
had been a leading U.S. manufacturer of bullet-resistant garments and related
accessories. After acquiring the Old Point Blank, USA Fitness & Protection
Corp., amended its articles of incorporation to change their name to Point Blank
Body Armor, Inc. ("Point Blank").
Orthopedic Products, Inc.
On March 22 and March 26, 1996, the Company exchanged a total of
180,000 shares of its registered common stock to acquire 100% of the
common stock of OPI, a Florida Corporation engaged in the manufacturing
and distribution of orthopedic products to the medical industry. This
transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and resulted in an excess
purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed which was allocated to goodwill. Fifty thousand of
these shares are restricted as follows: 25,000 shares cannot be sold
until March 22, 1997 and 25,000 shares cannot be sold until March 22,
1998.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.
MARKETABLE/NON-MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Effective for calendar year 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities." In accordance with this standard, Securities which are
classified as "trading securities" are recorded in the Company's balance sheet
at fair market value, with the resulting unrealized gain or loss recognized as
income in the current period. Securities which are classified as "available for
sale" are also reported at fair market value, however, the unrealized gain or
loss on these securities is listed as a separate component of shareholder's
equity.
Non-marketable securities, such as investments in privately-held companies are
carried at historical cost, if necessary, reduced by a valuation allowance to
net realizable value. F-30 The Company actively seeks to acquire and finance, as
appropriate, additional operating companies or interest therein.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The computation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted average
number of outstanding common shares outstanding during the period. Primary
earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share amounts assume the
conversion of the Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and the exercise of
the stock warrants.
2. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Private Placement-Common Stock
During April and May, 1996 the Company sold 435,000 shares of common stock in
private placements for proceeds of $1,522,500. These shares have not been
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 is
unaudited. However, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's December 31, 1995 Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares and share equivalents outstanding. For the periods
presented, there were no common stock equivalents included in the calculation,
since they would be antidilutive.

Item. 28 Undertakings.
The Company hereby undertakes as follows:
1. The Company shall file, during any period in which it offers or
sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(a) include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which
individually or together, represent fundamental change in the information in the
registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
the Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(c) include any additional or changed material information on
the plan of distribution.
2. The Company shall, for determining liability under the Securities
Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the
initial bona fide offering.
3. The Company shall file a post-effective amendment to remove from
registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.
4. (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
(b) If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of the issue.
