Item 5.        Other Events

On August 22, 2001, Armor Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Agreement") with Bank
of America, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC"), First Union National
Bank, Suntrust Bank, Republic Bank, Keybank National Association, and ING (U.S.)
Capital LLC. The Amended and Restated Agreement amends and restates the current
credit agreement of the Company. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Amended and Restated
Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Agreement, among other things, provides for (i) an
increase of total aggregate maximum borrowings from $100,000,000 to
$120,000,000, (ii) the capability for borrowings in foreign currencies, (iii) a
new syndicate of Lenders, and (iv) the removal of CIBC as Administrative Agent
and Bank of America, as Documentation Agent, and the installation of Bank of
America, as Administrative Agent, First Union National Bank as Documentation
Agent, and Suntrust Bank as Co-Agent. In addition, under the Amended and
Restated Agreement, CIBC was paid in full and is no longer a Lender party
thereto.

Indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Agreement is evidenced by (i)
Revolving Credit Notes for up to $120,000,000 in the aggregate. All borrowings
under the Amended and Restated Agreement bear interest at either (i) the Base
Rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from .000% to .375%, depending on
certain conditions, (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, plus an applicable margin ranging
from 1.125% to 1.875%, depending on certain conditions, or (iii) with respect to
foreign currency loans, the Fronted Offshore Currency Rate, plus an applicable
margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.875%, depending on certain conditions. In
addition, the Amended and Restated Agreement provides that Bank of America will
make swing-line loans of up to $5,000,000 to the Company for working capital
purposes only and will issue letters of credit of up to $20,000,000 for the
account of the Company. As of August 23, 2001, the Company has approximately
$82.7 million outstanding and approximately $37.3 million available under the
Amended and Restated Agreement. All notes due under the Amended and Restated
Agreement will mature on February 12, 2004.
