                       PART II -- RULES 12b-25 (b) and (c)


If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and THE REGISTRANT seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

[ ]  (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
         could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

[ ]  (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
         From 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof, will be filed
         on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due

         day following the prescribed due date; and

[ ]  (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
         12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.


                              PART III -- NARRATIVE


State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion
thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
(ATTACH EXTRA SHEETS IF NEEDED)

     DHB  Industries  Inc.  (the  "Company")  files  this  report  for a  15-day
extension, from March 16 to March 31, 2006, for filing its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the period ended  December 31, 2005.  The Company did not file its Form
10-K by March 16, 2006 because the Company is conducting  additional analysis of
historical information and records to ensure the reasonableness of estimates and
the accuracy of reported  inventory levels and resulting gross profit and income
levels for 2005.  Our auditors have called our attention to, and the Company has
identified,  some inaccurate inventory records. The net result is not yet known.
Based on the foregoing and information  that has become  available in the fourth
quarter of 2005,  the Company is also  reassessing  its estimates of the cost of
the Voluntary  Replacement Program for  Zylon(R)-containing  armor products that
the Company  announced in the third quarter of 2005. We believe that both of the
analyses could result in restatement of the reported  results for one or more of
the first three  quarters of 2005,  including  restatement  of the amount of the
inventory written off in the third quarter.


                          PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION


(1)  Name and telephone number of persons to contact in regard to this
     notification.

             (Name)            (Area Code)       (Telephone Number)

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
     Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that
     the registrant was required to file such reports been filed? If answer is
     no, identify report(s).

                                 [X] Yes [ ] No

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results or operations from
     the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
     earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
     thereof?

                                 [X] Yes [ ] No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if separate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of
the results cannot be made.

     The  Company  anticipates  a  significant  change  in its 2005  results  of
operations,  when  compared with 2004  results,  stemming  largely from one-time
charges  associated  with the  previously  announced  decision  of the  National
Institution  of  Justice  ("NIJ")  to  revoke  its  certifications  of all vests
containing Zylon(R) in the marketplace and as a result of a change in accounting
principles. These charges include the write off of Zylon(R)-containing inventory
and the cost of the Voluntary Replacement Program. These changes were previously
disclosed in the Company's  Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended  September
30, 2005.

     In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company  adopted  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 123R,  SHARE BASED  PAYMENT (SFAS 123R) which revises
SFAS 123,  ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED  COMPENSATION  and  supersedes  Accounting
Principles Board Opinion 25,  ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES  (APB25).
SFAS  123R  requires  that  new,  modified  and  unvested   share-based  payment
transactions  with  employees,  such as stock options and restricted  stock,  be
recognized in the financial  statements based on their fair value and recognized
as compensation  expense over the vesting period.  The Company adopted SFAS 123R
effective December 8, 2005, using the retrospective  method.  This method allows
for the retrospective  adjustment of interim financial statements in the year of
adoption  based on the amounts  previously  calculated  and  reported in the pro
forma footnote disclosures  required by SFAS 123. In addition,  the fiscal years
prior to 2005 will be subjected  to  restrospective  adjustments  to reflect the
amounts   previously   calculated   and  reported  in  the  pro  forma  footnote
disclosures.

     The  following  table shows the  proforma  estimates  by the Company of the
retrospective  amounts of stock based  compensation  on a  quarterly  basis as a
result of the adoption of the new accounting standard described above.

                              ===========      ==========        ==========

* During the third  quarter of 2005,  the  Company  recorded  in its  results of
operations,  stock  compensation  expense of $11,295,000  which would reduce the
retrospective  adjustment  of the  third  quarter  2005  Stock  Compensation  to
$4,268,000  in  expense,  bringing  the total Stock  Compensation  expense to be
reported in the results of operations to the $15,563,000 listed above.

     The Company  currently  expects to report revenue for 2005 of approximately
$350  million.  The  Company is not  prepared  to  estimate  the  results of its
operations  at this time,  because  of the  continuing  review of the  Company's
financial statements described more fully above.
