This one is a bit more substance and a bit more expensive than our usual Mobsta stocks. On August 24, 2005, the American NIJ released a status report of its examination to the Department of Justice in which the American NIJ announced, among other things, that although the test results do not conclusively prove that all Zylon®-containing body armor models have performance problems, they show that used Zylon®-containing body armor may not provide the intended level of ballistic resistance. The test results also imply that a visual inspection of body armor and its ballistic panels does not indicate whether a particular piece of Zylon®-containing body armor has maintained its ballistic performance. On such date, the American NIJ also issued a Body Armor Standard Advisory Notice advising that it has identified Zylon® as a material that appears to create a risk of death or serious injury as a result of degraded ballistic performance when used in body armor. The American NIJ also introduced the American NIJ 2005 Interim Requirements for Bullet-Resistant Body Armor, or the American NIJ Interim Requirements, modifying and supplementing NIJ Standard 0101.04 (Ballistic Resistance of Personal Body Armor), or the American NIJ Standard 0101.04. Our products do not contain Zylon®. In accordance with the American NIJ Interim Requirements, we intend to immediately apply to the American NIJ to obtain a notice of compliance with the NIJ Interim Requirements with respect to our products that were previously found by the American NIJ to be compliant with the American NIJ Standard 0101.04. However, the general decline in sales of bullet-resistant vests have affected us, and our sales of bullet-resistant vests, which account for approximately 40% of our revenues, have decreased in the last two quarters of 2005.
