Loss from Operations (E)                             (625,073)         (496,675)
                                                  ===========       ===========

         (A)      Revenues decreased due to the general state of economy and
                  customers choosing to cancel or delay purchases of promotional
                  products and the non-reoccurrence of a major one-time order
                  with the New York State Troopers of $685,000.

         (B)      Cost of revenues decreased directly due to decreases in sales.

         (C)      Gross profit percentage for the second quarter was 41% versus
                  23% for the comparable period of the prior year. The gross
                  profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was
                  36% as compared to 26% for the comparable period of the prior
                  year. Gross profit for the second quarter decreased
                  approximately $131,000 and for the six months ended June 30,
                  2009 decreased by approximately $372,000, as compared to the
                  comparable period of the prior year, due to decreasing sales.
                  The second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 gross
                  profit percentages were unusually low due to a one-time sale
                  to the New York State Troopers at a substantially lower than
                  normal gross profit percentage.

         (D)      Operating expenses for the three months ended and six months
                  ended June 30, 2009 decreased by approximately $166,000 and
                  $345,000, respectively, as compared to the comparable period
                  of the prior year. Operating expenses for the three months and
                  six months ended June 30, 2009 include a decrease in stock
                  based payments (non-cash) of $182,573 and $200,957,
                  respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of the
                  prior year.

         (E)      Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by
                  approximately $36,000 over the comparable period of the prior
                  year despite a substantial decrease in revenue and gross
                  profit primarily due to a $182,573 decrease in stock based
                  payments (non-cash). Net loss from operations for the six
                  months ended June 30, 2009 increased by approximately $128,000
                  due to substantial decreases in sales and gross profit,
                  partially offset by decrease in operating expenses (primarily
                  in stock based payments) (non-cash).
