Item 5.  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.
