OTHER EVENTS On January 14, 2002, David H. Brooks, the principal stockholder of the Company, exchanged $3 million of the approximately $10 million of indebtedness due him for 500,000 Shares of the newly authorized Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of $.72 per share per annum, an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid as interest on the exchanged indebtedness. Shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, on a one-to-one basis, at the option of the holder, into shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into one share of DHB Industries' Common Stock on March 15, 2002, if the Company's independent auditors do not certify to the Board of Directors by such date that the Company had a Stockholders' Equity of at least $4 million on December 31, 2001. The shares of Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company on December 15, 2002 and on each December 15th thereafter. The Company entered into the agreement in order to meet the listing standards of The American Stock Exchange that the Company has a minimum stockholders' equity of not less than $4 million. The Company has made application to the Exchange for listing; however, there can be no assurance that the Company's application will be approved. Item 7.
