PROTECTIVE PRODUCTS ANNOUNCES NEW ORDER FOR POLICE VEHICLE BALLISTIC DOOR PANELS

SUNRISE, FLORIDA, November 28, 2006 — Protective Products announced today that it has been awarded a new order for ballistic panels for use in police doors. The order, for approximately one-half million dollars, is part of an ongoing supply agreement to provide vehicular ballistic door panels for use in the Ford Crown Victoria police vehicle, manufactured in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada.

Mr. Steve Giordanella, Chief Executive Officer, today said: "This order is important for the Corporation as it signifies the growing success which this product has enjoyed with North American police departments since its introduction by the Ford Motor Company earlier this year. These continued, and expanding sales constitute a solid step forward in the growth and diversification of our protective products and systems. The expanding use by North American police departments of these armor systems, which have been specifically developed by the Corporation for the urban security marketplace in close collaboration with the Ford Motor Company, indicates the recognized value of our products at a time when there is a growing need to enhance the protection of local police and homeland security personnel."

Deliveries under the new Purchase Orders are to begin immediately and will extend into 2007.
