on track to deliver sustainable, profitable growth for investors in the
near term.”

Third Quarter Operational 2015 Highlights

During the quarter, the company added 20 new customer accounts,
including seven from the “tactical” market and six from the “sporting”
market. Mace also entered an exclusive licensing agreement with Kourt
Security Partners – which is part of one of the largest security
companies in the nation – that will bring Mace-branded security products
to homes across the United States.

According to Mace President and Chief Executive Officer John J. McCann,
the strength of the Mace brand continues to be a key growth driver and
differentiator in the marketplace. “The Mace brand is synonymous with
high-quality, non-lethal personal protection,” he said. “As a result, we
are seeing steadily increasing interest in our expanded product
offering, which includes our Nite-Beams LED safety products for people
and pets, as well as an array of state-of-the-art tactical products for
law enforcement.”

McCann noted that the company will have two new Mace-branded products in
the marketplace before year end – the previously announced Mace^®
Alert911 device, which provides direct access to emergency assistance
through the push of a button, and a new WiFi-based home security system.
“New products like these are just another example of our commitment to
keeping people of all ages safe and at a safe distance,” he said.
