ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         DHB  Industries,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  has  entered  into  a  second
amendment (the "Amendment"), dated as of February 17, 2003, to that certain Loan
and Security  Agreement,  dated as of September 24, 2001 (the "Loan  Agreement")
(previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company's  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the fiscal quarter ended  September 30, 2001,  filed with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  on November 14, 2001),  by and among the Company,  LaSalle
Business Credit,  LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (successor by merger
to LaSalle Business Credit, Inc., a Delaware corporation)  ("LaSalle"),  and the
Company's  subsidiaries,  Protective  Apparel  Corporation of America  ("PACA"),
Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. ("Point Blank") and NDL Products,  Inc. ("NDL", and
together with PACA and Point Blank, the  "Borrowers").  The Company  anticipates
that the  Amendment  will  assist the  Company in meeting  increased  short-term
working capital requirements.

         Pursuant to the  Amendment,  among other things,  the maximum amount of
revolving  credit advances which may be provided by LaSalle to the Borrowers has
been increased from $25,000,000,  as previously  provided in the Loan Agreement,
to $35,000,000.  This increased amount will decrease to $30,000,000 on September
1,  2003  and to  $25,000,000  on  December  1,  2003.  In  connection  with the
Amendment,  the  Borrowers  have agreed to pay LaSalle an  amendment  fee in the
amount of $25,000.  In the event the Borrowers  terminate the Loan Agreement and
prepay all of their  liabilities  thereunder on or before February 28, 2004, the
Borrowers  have agreed to pay to LaSalle a  prepayment  fee of 1% of the Maximum
Revolving  Loan Limit (as that term is defined in the Loan  Agreement) in effect
at  that  time.  Further  pursuant  to the  Amendment,  the  minimum  collection
percentage  during any sixty-day  period to avoid a "Triggering  Event" (as that
term is  defined  in the  Amendment)  has been  increased  from 70% to 90%.  The
Amendment,  including the  availability of the increase in the revolving  credit
facility, became effective on February 25, 2003.

         The foregoing  description  of certain  provisions of the Amendment and
the  Loan  Agreement  is  qualified  in its  entirety  by the  full  text of the
Amendment and the Loan Agreement,  respectively filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, and
as Exhibit  4.1 to the  Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
quarter  ended  September  30,  2001,  filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  on  November  14,  2001,  both of which are  incorporated  herein by
reference.

Company's  current  expectations  and  projections  about future  events.  These
forward-looking  statements  are subject to a number of risks and  uncertainties
which  could  cause the  Company's  actual  results  to differ  materially  from
historical  results  or those  anticipated  and  certain of which are beyond the

revise any forward-looking  statements,  whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
