                                                                    Exhibit 99.1


UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         On December 9, 2003, we completed our acquisition of Simula for $110.5
million in cash, subject to adjustment, including adjustments for certain
transaction fees and costs. A portion of the $110.5 million was used to retire a
majority of Simula's outstanding indebtedness. On January 5, 2004, $31.1 million
of 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes plus accrued interest was paid in
full. After payment of 100% of the outstanding indebtedness and transaction
expenses, the merger consideration paid to Simula's shareholders at closing
pursuant to the merger agreement was approximately $43.5 million.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of continuing
operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 give effect to the
acquisition of Simula as if it had occurred on January 1, 2002.

         The acquisition of Simula was structured as a merger, pursuant to which
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Armor Holdings was merged with and into Simula,
with Simula surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Armor
Holdings. The acquisition is accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their
estimated fair values. Goodwill is generated to the extent that the merger
consideration, including transaction and closing costs, exceeds the fair value
of net assets acquired.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of continuing
operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 have been prepared by
combining Armor Holdings' historical condensed consolidated statement of
continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 with the
historical condensed consolidated statement of continuing operations of Simula
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational
purposes only and it is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and
results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition been
completed as of the dates indicated and is not necessarily indicative of our
future financial position or results of operations.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements of Armor Holdings and Simula, respectively, including related notes
thereto.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONTINUING
OPERATIONS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

(1)  Simula's condensed consolidated statement of continuing operations as
     adjusted for the sale of its automotive safety division is presented for
     the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003.

(2)  Reflects a change of Simula's revenue recognition policy to conform to the
     accounting policy used by Armor Holdings on long-term contracts from
     percentage completion based on the cost incurred basis to Armor Holding's
     policy of percentage completion based on the units completed basis. For the
     twelve-months ended December 31, 2003, this change in revenue recognition
     would have resulted in an increase in revenues of approximately $9.8
     million and an increase in cost of sales of approximately $3.9 million.

(3)  Reflects a reduction to depreciation expense of $172,000 due to an increase
     in the weighted average estimated useful lives of property and equipment to
     six years and leasehold improvements to 12 years, which exceeds the
     remaining useful life on a historical basis.

(4)  Reflects an increase to amortization expense of $2.9 million from purchase
     accounting due to an increase in the fair value of identifiable intangible
     assets over their estimated useful lives.

(5)  Reflects a reduction for transactions costs of approximately $1.4 million
     related to the sale of Simula's automotive safety division and costs to
     sell Simula.

(6)  Reflects interest expense of $7.0 million (net of $3.1 million previously
     recognized in Armor Holding's historical financial statements) related to
     the acquisition debt used to fund the acquisition of Simula, net of the
     elimination of Simula's allocated interest expense of $10.3 million. If
     interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1/8%, pro forma income from
     continuing operations would be $19.9 million and $20.1 million,
     respectively. The acquisition debt was issued by Armor Holdings in August
     of 2003 and matures in August of 2013. The acquisition debt carries a
     current variable interest rate of six-month LIBOR, set in arrears, plus a
     spread ranging from 2.735% to 2.75% as a result of interest rate hedge
     transactions. Pro forma interest expense for the acquisition debt was based
     on historical six-month LIBOR rates of 1.37%, or 4.12%, for the two-month
     period ended February 2003 and 1.19%, or 3.94%, for the ten-month period
     ended August 2003.

(7)  Reflects the elimination of the $1.0 million performance fee paid related
     to Simula's default on a certain non-monetary financial covenant under
     their Senior Secured Note.

(8)  Reflects the adjustment to the provision for taxes by applying Armor
     Holdings' statutory tax rate of approximately 37.7% to the pro forma
     adjustments and to Simula's historical losses.

(9)  Basic earnings per common share for continuing operations is computed as
     follows: Income from continuing operations divided by basic weighted
     average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share for
     continuing operations is computed as follows: Income from continuing
     operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONTINUING
OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

(1)  Simula's condensed consolidated statement of continuing operations as
     adjusted for the sale of its automotive safety business is presented for
     the year ended December 31, 2002.

(2)  Reflects a change of Simula's revenue recognition policy to conform to
     accounting policy used by Armor Holdings on long-term contracts from
     percentage completion based on the cost incurred basis to Armor Holdings'
     policy of percentage completion based on the units completed basis. For the
     year ended December 31, 2002, this change in revenue recognition would have
     resulted in a decrease in revenues of approximately $1.2 million and an
     increase in cost of sales of approximately $2.6 million including reduction
     in margin for opening in-process inventory.

(3)  Reflects a reduction to depreciation expense of $168,000 due to an increase
     in the weighted average estimated useful lives of property and equipment to
     six years and leasehold improvements to 12 years, which exceeds the
     remaining useful life on a historical basis.

(4)  Reflects an increase to amortization expense of $3.1 million due to an
     increase from purchase accounting in the fair value of identifiable
     intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. See Note 5 to the Pro
     Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(5)  Reflects a reduction for transactions costs of approximately $1.3 million
     related to the costs to sell Simula.

(6)  Reflects interest expense of $7.2 million related to the acquisition debt
     used to fund the acquisition of Simula, net of the elimination of Simula's
     historical interest expense of $10.4 million. If interest rates were to
     increase or decrease by 1/8%, pro forma income from continuing operations
     would be $20.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively. The acquisition
     debt was issued by Armor Holdings in August of 2003 and matures in August
     of 2013. The acquisition debt carries a current variable interest rate of
     six-month LIBOR, set in arrears, plus a spread ranging from 2.735% to 2.75%
     as a result of interest rate hedge transactions. Pro forma interest expense
     for the acquisition debt was based on historical six-month LIBOR rates of
     2.07%, or 4.82%, for the two-month period ended February 2002, 1.82%, or
     4.57%, for the six-month period ended August 2002 and 1.37%, or 4.12%, for
     the four-month period ended December 31, 2002.

(7)  Reflects the adjustment to the provision for taxes by applying Armor
     Holdings' statutory tax rate of approximately 37.7% to the pro forma
     adjustments and eliminating the provision of $37.9 million that Simula
     recognized in 2002, which principally related to providing a valuation
     allowance for deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss
     carry-forward deductions.

(8)  Basic earnings per common share for continuing operations is computed as
     follows: Income from continuing operations divided by basic weighted
     average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share for
     continuing operations is computed as follows: Income from continuing
     operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
