Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     On April 21, 2005, Armor Holdings, Inc. (the "Registrant") announced
financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005. A copy of the
press release announcing the Registrant's earnings results for the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2005 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated
herein by reference.

     The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not
be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor
shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in
such filing.

     The earnings press release contains a financial measure that is not in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
("GAAP"). The Registrant has provided a reconciliation within the earnings
release of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure net income. EBITDA, which represents the Registrant's
results from continuing operations before interest, other expense, income taxes,
and certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, is
presented in the earnings release because the Registrant's credit facility and
the trust indentures under which the Registrant's 8 1/4% senior subordinated
notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 maturing in 2013 and the
Registrant's 2% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $345,000,000 maturing in 2024 unless earlier converted, redeemed or
repurchased, are issued contain financial covenants which generally are based,
in part, on the Registrant's EBITDA. Additionally, management believes that
EBITDA, as defined, is a common alternative to measure value, cash flow and
performance. The Registrant's management, however, cannot provide any assurance
that these measures are comparable to similarly titled measures presented by
other publicly-traded companies. The non-GAAP financial measure described above
should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the
earnings release.
