The aggregate purchase price of the 3,441,922 Shares owned by Steel Partners II is approximately $15,150,349, including brokerage commissions.  The Shares owned by Steel Partners II were acquired with partnership funds.
 
Steel Partners II effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers’ credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase of additional Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
 
On October 30, 2007, Steel Partners II delivered a letter to the Issuer stating its willingness to enter into negotiations to acquire all of the Shares of the Issuer it does not already own for no less than $5.50 per Share in cash (the "Steel Proposal").  On November 9, 2007, the Issuer informed Steel Partners II of the Board's decision not to pursue the Steel Proposal.  On February 8, 2008, Steel Partners II delivered a letter to the Issuer nominating James R. Henderson, Terry R. Gibson, General Merrill A. McPeak, Bernard C. Bailey and Robert Chefitz (collectively, the “Nominees”), as set forth therein, for election to the Issuer’s Board of Directors at the Issuer’s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “Annual Meeting”).
 
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed above.  Steel Partners II intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and engage in discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer concerning the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Steel Partners II may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, seeking additional Board representation, making additional or alternative proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of its Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

CUSIP NO. 730529104

 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 51,027,535 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of November 5, 2007 as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2007.
 
As of the close of business on February 8, Steel Partners II beneficially owned 3,441,922 Shares, constituting approximately 6.7% of the Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their relationships with Steel Partners II discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of Steel GP LLC, Steel Master, Partners LLC and Warren G. Lichtenstein may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by Steel Partners II.
 
None of Messrs. Henderson, Gibson, McPeak, Bailey and Chefitz directly owns any Shares.  Each of Messrs. Henderson, Gibson, McPeak, Bailey and Chefitz, as members of a “group” for the purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed to beneficially own the 3,441,922 shares owned by Steel Partners II.  Each of Messrs. Henderson, Gibson, McPeak, Bailey and Chefitz disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares.
 
(b)           Each of Steel Partners II, Steel GP LLC, Steel Master, Partners LLC and Warren G. Lichtenstein may be deemed to have the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.
 
(c)           Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons.  All of such transactions were effected in the open market.
 
(d)           No person other than the Reporting Persons (excluding the Nominees) is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
 
(e)    Not applicable.
 
The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the beneficial owners of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.
 
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
On February 8, 2008, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement in which, among other things, (a) the parties agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer, (b) the parties agreed to solicit proxies or written consents for the election of the Nominees, or any other person(s) nominated by Steel Partners II, to the Issuer’s Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting (the “Solicitation”), and (c) Steel Partners II agreed to bear all expenses incurred in connection with the Reporting Persons’ activities, including approved expenses incurred by any of the parties in connection with the Solicitation, subject to certain limitations.  A copy of the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

CUSIP NO. 730529104
 
Pursuant to letter agreements, Steel Partners II has agreed to indemnify James R. Henderson, Terry R. Gibson, General Merrill A. McPeak, Bernard C. Bailey and Robert Chefitz against claims arising from the solicitation of proxies from the Issuer’s stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting.  The form of indemnification letter agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Except as set forth herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

Re:           Point Blank Solutions, Inc.
 
Dear _____________:
 
Thank you for agreeing to serve as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors of Point Blank Solutions, Inc. (“Point Blank”) in connection with the proxy solicitation or consent solicitation that Steel Partners II, L.P. (“Steel”) and its affiliates are considering undertaking to elect directors (the “Steel Solicitation”).  Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to Point Blank and all of its stockholders.  This letter will set forth the terms of our agreement.
 
Steel agrees to indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all claims of any nature, whenever brought, arising from the Steel Solicitation and any related transactions, irrespective of the outcome; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to indemnification for claims arising from your own criminal actions, fraud, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided further, that this indemnification agreement and all of Steel’s obligations hereunder shall terminate upon your becoming a director of Point Blank.  This indemnification will include any and all (each, a “Loss”) losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitration action, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation asserted against, resulting, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by you, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from the Steel Solicitation and any related transactions.
 
In the event of a claim against you pursuant to the prior paragraph or the occurrence of a Loss, you shall give Steel written notice of such claim or Loss.  Upon receipt of such written notice, Steel will provide you with counsel to represent you.  Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to you.  In addition, you will be reimbursed promptly for all Losses suffered by you and as incurred as provided herein.  Steel may not enter into any settlement of loss or claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.  Steel will not be responsible for fees, costs or expenses of separate counsel retained by you.  You may not enter into any settlement of loss or claim without the written consent of Steel, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
 
 


 
If you agree to the foregoing terms, please sign below to indicate your acceptance.
 

 
Very truly yours,
 
STEEL PARTNERS II, L.P.
