POINT BLANK SOLUTIONS REPORTS 2009 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Pompano Beach, Florida, May 18, 2009 – Point Blank Solutions, Inc. (“PBSI”, OTC Pink Sheets: PBSO.PK), a leader in the field of protective body armor, announced today its results of operations and financial position as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, net sales were $54.9 million, compared to net sales of $49.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 10.0%.  Soft body armor product net sales increased from $48.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $53.9 million for the comparable period in 2009, an increase of 11.1%.  This increase is primarily related to higher sales to international markets, as sales to this segment were up $10.5 million over the first quarter last year and due to continued production on contract awards for Outer Tactical Vests (“OTVs”) and Improved Outer Tactical Vests (“IOTVs”).  Offsetting this increase were lower Domestic/Distributor sales due to the market’s anticipation of the upcoming change in National Institute of Justice (“NIJ”) standards for soft body armor as well as the economic downturn in the national economy, which continued to have a direct impact on state and local governments’ spending.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2009 was approximately $2.5 million or 4.6% of net sales, as compared to approximately $8.7 million or 17.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decline in gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales is due primarily to the completion of contracts that were subject to competitive pricing pressures which led to lower gross profit margins as well as a temporary slow-down in shipments caused by additional testing required by the U.S. military during the first quarter of 2009. 

Total operating costs were $6.6 million or 12.0% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 versus $10.3 million or 20.7% of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The decline in operating expenses, both on a dollar basis and as a percentage of sales is a direct result of cost reduction plans undertaken in 2008 and continuing in 2009.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $5.8 million as compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $2.6 million or 31.0%.  Additionally, litigation and cost of investigation expenses were approximately $0.8 million as compared to $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Equity-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $0.1 million as compared to approximately $1.0 million in the similar period in 2008.

The Company reported an operating loss of $4.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $2.5 million ($0.05 per share) versus a net loss of $1.0 million ($0.02 per share) in the comparable period last year.

James R. Henderson, Acting CEO of Point Blank Solutions, Inc. commented, “First quarter results continued to be impacted by the product mix and we expect this to continue into the second quarter as we complete production on the IOTV, best-price contract.  We’re working quickly to streamline our cost structure, implement lean manufacturing throughout our production facilities and become more efficient in what we do.  There are a number of large body armor awards anticipated in the second half of the year and we’re positioned as well as anyone in the industry, but we have to manage our business in the event there are downturns within any market segment, and further diversify our sales.”
Henderson continued, “The Board and management have a shared goal and that is to get this Company profitable and generate higher returns for shareholders.  Market dynamics have changed and there is a lot of work ahead, but I continue to see great value in Point Blank.”

Conference Call Information
The Company will be hosting a teleconference and webcast to discuss its 2009 first quarter financial results on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.  Parties can listen on the webcast on the Point Blank Solutions website at www.PointBlankSolutionsInc.com and by clicking on “Investor Relations” or participate on the teleconference by dialing 866-543-6403 (International: 617-213-8896) and entering the pass code: 21465437.  Additionally, a replay of the webcast will be available on the Company’s website in the “Investor Relations” section or via teleconference within 24-hours after the completion of the call.  The domestic replay number is 888-286-8010 (International: 617-801-6888), pass code: 75227561.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
This press release contains information regarding Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as net income, plus the sum of interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, equity based compensation, litigation and cost of investigations and employment tax withholding charge (credit). This measure is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as numerical measures of financial performance that exclude or include amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in our statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Although Adjusted EBITDA represents a non-GAAP financial measure, we consider this measure to be a key operating metric of our business. We use this measure in our planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate our financial and operating results. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides an analysis of financial and operating results using the same measures that we use in evaluating the Company. We expect that such measure provides investors and other stakeholders with the means to evaluate our financial and operating results against other companies within our industry. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance or cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.

POINT BLANK SOLUTIONS REPORTS
2008 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END RESULTS

Pompano Beach, Florida, March 16, 2009 – Point Blank Solutions, Inc. (“PBSI”, OTC Pink Sheets: PBSO.PK), a leader in the field of protective body armor, announced today its results of operations and financial position as of and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, net sales were $73.6 million, compared to net sales of $63.3 in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 16.2%.  This increase is primarily related to higher sales to international markets, as sales to this segment were up $13.9 million over the fourth quarter last year.  Additionally, sales to the U.S. Military and Federal Government were up 2.0% compared to the 2007 fourth quarter and 446.0% sequentially as production for the Improved Outer Tactical Vests (“IOTVs”) and OTV Ballistics and Components resumed.  Offsetting this increase were lower sales to the Company’s Domestic/Distributor market.  Sales to this segment were $5.9 million in the 2008 fourth quarter compared to $10.1 million in the comparable period last year, primarily as a result of lower statewide spending and the delayed transition to new National Institute of Justice (“NIJ”) standards.

Gross profit for the 2008 fourth quarter was ($6.0) million, or (8.1)% of net sales, as compared to $14.6 million or 23.0% of net sales for the comparable 2007 period.  The decline in gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales is due to lower than planned volume as a result of production delays, constraints on price increases due to the competitive market and higher raw material costs.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded an inventory impairment charge of $8.2 million for materials that the Company’s internal quality control process determined was not suitable for its intended use in the ordinary course of business.  Excluding the impact of this charge, gross profit for the fourth quarter was $2.2 million or approximately 3.0% of net sales. 

Total operating costs were $8.6 million or 11.7% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $14.2 million or 22.4% of net sales for the comparable 2007 period.  This decline in operating expenses, both on a dollar basis and as a percentage of sales is a result of cost reduction and efficiency initiatives put in place during the second half of 2008.  As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2008 fourth quarter were $7.6 million as compared to $11.9 million in the comparable year-ago period, a decline of 36.1%.  This was directly attributable to lower legal and professional fees in the current year quarter and lower salaries due to reductions in incentive compensation and personnel.  Additionally, litigation and cost of investigation expenses were approximately $1.0 million in the 2008 fourth quarter as compared to $2.3 million in the period ended December 31, 2007.

The Company reported an operating loss of $14.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, compared to operating income of $0.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2007.  The net loss for the 2008 fourth quarter was $9.3 million ($0.19 per share) versus a net loss of $0.2 million ($0.00 per share) in the comparable period last year.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s backlog stood at approximately $94 million. These contracts are all firm, fixed price contracts with the U.S. military and other customers. The Company anticipates it will complete production on these contracts and recognize sales in both the 2009 first and second quarters.


Larry Ellis, President and CEO of Point Blank Solutions, Inc. commented, “The fourth quarter was our largest sales period of the year, though it did not compensate for the lower production volumes in prior quarters as a result of contract delays.  Today, we have significant backlog in place and a number of large solicitations that should be awarded in the second and third quarters.  I believe we are well positioned to capture a large percentage of future awards among all of our customer segments.”

Ellis continued, “Cost reduction programs began in the second half of last year and are progressing according to plan.   Our overhead is down and we continue to take out costs in our effort to operate more efficiently.  We fully expect to see a rise in our gross margins given the contract mix moving forward and with the expected contributions from LifeStone Materials.  We are also working very closely with our key suppliers to improve our competitive and financial position.”

For the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

Larry Ellis continued, “The demand for body armor over the next two years will be significant; we intend to retain and grow our market leadership position, with a better cost basis.  We have a number of new products on the horizon for the Domestic and International markets and continue to look at areas along the value chain to enhance profitability and generate higher returns for our shareholders.  Despite our 2008 performance and the obstacles we faced, I believe we are on the right track to post higher sales and profits in the coming year.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

This press release contains information regarding Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as net income, plus the sum of interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income taxes,  equity based compensation, litigation and cost of investigations and employment tax withholding charge (credit). This measure is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as numerical measures of financial performance that exclude or include amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in our statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Although Adjusted EBITDA represents a non-GAAP financial measure, we consider this measure to be a key operating metric of our business. We use this measure in our planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate our financial and operating results. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides an analysis of financial and operating results using the same measures that we use in evaluating the Company. We expect that such measure provides investors and other stakeholders with the means to evaluate our financial and operating results against other companies within our industry. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance or cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
