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. Dawn Schlegel 516 997-1155 ______________ ___________ __________________ (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. 2005 2004 2003 ----------- ---------- ---------- First Quarter $ 8,000 $1,513,000 $482,000 Second Quarter 454,000 82,000 166,000 Third Quarter *15,563,000 22,000 286,000 Fourth Quarter 4,825,000 9,000 99,000 ----------- ---------- ---------- Year to date $20,850,000 $1,626,000 $1,033,000 =========== ========== ========== * 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.
