Item 12. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

The Company announced that it is filing amendments to its Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003. Certain transaction costs incurred in connection with the merger with Armor and an earlier sale of the automotive safety business had been previously capitalized in the financial statements contained in such Forms 10-Q. The financial statements have been amended to more appropriately reflect the merger and transaction costs as expensed during the period incurred. The March 31, 2003 financial statements have been amended to expense the capitalized transaction costs in the amount of $144,057. The June 30, 2003 financial statements also have been amended to expense the capitalized transaction costs in the amount of $449,833 and $593,890 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The Company had previously recorded net losses of ($1,177,837) as of March 31, 2003 and ($1,751,202) and ($2,929,037) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The amended net losses are ($1,321,894) as of March 31, 2003 and ($2,201,035) and ($3,522,927) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Additionally, it is noted that the merger consideration to be paid to Simula shareholders will not be impacted by the accounting changes to previously reported results, as the merger consideration formula is not based on historical results.
