IF YOU CHOOSE TO ATTEND THE MEETING, YOU MAY REVOKE YOUR PROXY AND PERSONALLY CAST YOUR VOTES. 3 DHB CAPITAL GROUP INC. 555 WESTBURY AVENUE CARLE PLACE, NEW YORK 11514 TEL. (516) 997-1155 PROXY STATEMENT This Proxy Statement, and the Company's 2000 Annual Report are first being sent to stockholders on or about June 29, 2001 in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the enclosed form of Proxy for the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on July 20, 2001. PURPOSES OF ANNUAL MEETING The Annual Meeting has been called for the purposes of (1) electing five Directors; (2) approving an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation changing the Company's name to DHB Industries, Inc.; (3) ratifying the selection of Paritz and Company P.A. as auditors of the Company for 2001; and (4) transacting such other business as may properly come before the meeting. The person named in the enclosed Proxy has been selected by the Board of Directors and will vote shares of Common Stock represented by valid Board of Directors' Proxies. She has indicated that, unless otherwise indicated in the enclosed Proxy, she intends to vote for the election of the nominees listed below and in favor of Proposals 2 and 3 above. Any stockholder signing and returning the enclosed form of Proxy has the power to revoke it by giving written notice to the Secretary of the meeting or by the delivery of a later dated proxy. Presence at the meeting does not itself revoke the proxy. Proxies properly executed, duly returned to the Company and not revoked, will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the directions specified in the proxy. If no directions are given, the proxy will be voted for the election of the five director nominees and "For" Proposals 2 and 3. The Company has no knowledge of any other matters to be presented at the meeting, except the reports of officers on which no action is proposed to be taken. In the event that other matters do properly come before the meeting, the person named in the Proxy will vote in accordance with her judgment on such matters. VOTING RIGHTS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS The close of business on June 20, 2001 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of holders of record of the shares of Common Stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were issued and outstanding 31,419,847 shares. A quorum consisting of a majority of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, is required for the purpose of considering all of the matters to come before the meeting. A quorum being present, directors are elected by a plurality of shares 4 voted; the change of the corporate name requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon; and the ratification of the appointment of independent accountants requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. At the meeting, broker "non-votes" and the shares as to which a stockholder abstains are included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at a meeting. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker "non-votes" are not included in the tabulation of the voting results on the election of directors or issues requiring approval of a majority of the votes cast. However, broker non-votes and abstentions have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to change the corporate name. PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION Solicitation will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company may reimburse nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to execute forms of proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. PROPOSAL 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Each director of the Company is elected annually and holds office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successors are duly elected. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the shares represented by proxy will be voted for the election of the nominees listed below. Four of the nominees are currently directors and Mr. Nadelman, the fifth nominee, was previously a director. Each individual nominated for election as a director of the Company has agreed to serve if elected. However, if any nominee becomes unable or unwilling to serve if elected, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person as may be recommended by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the persons listed as nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve. The Board of Directors recommends that each stockholder vote "FOR" the Board of Directors' nominees. 5

The Directors serve for a term of one year following their election at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and until their successors have been elected and qualified. The officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There were two telephonic meetings of the Board of Directors in 2000 and each of the Directors attended all of the meetings held. Messrs. Cohen and Krantz serve on the Audit and Compensation Committees, but no formal meetings of such committees were held in 2000. The Company's Directors discharge their responsibilities throughout the year by personal meetings and other communications, including frequent and considerable telephone contact with each other regarding matters of interest and concern to the Company. Formal action is customarily accomplished by the unanimous written consent of the Directors. During 2000 Directors who were not officers or employees of the Company did not receive any compensation for serving as such, but were reimbursed for their direct expenses incurred in connection with the discharge of their responsibilities. However, the Company has periodically granted stock options to the directors for their services and in May 2001, the directors received warrants for 25,000 shares with an exercise price of $2.00. 6 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The following table sets forth certain summary information regarding the compensation of the executive officers whose total salary and bonus for the year ended December 31, 2000, exceeded $100,000:

Jerome Krantz AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The members of the audit committee met independently with management of the Company and reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with them.

Based on their discussion with management, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 10 This report by the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts. Audit Committee: Martin A. Cohen, Chrm. Jerome Krantz PERFORMANCE GRAPH The following indexed graph indicates the Company's total return to its stockholders since June 4, 1998 (the day the Company's stock began trading on Nasdaq) as compared to the total return for the Nasdaq Market Index and Medical Appliances/Equipment Industry Group Index (as complied by Media General Financial Service). See Table below [AT END OF PROXY STATEMENT]. PROPOSAL 2 APPROVAL OF NAME CHANGE TO DHB INDUSTRIES, INC. On May 31, 2001, the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholders' approval, an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to "DHB Industries, Inc.". The Board believes that the new name better reflects the nature of the Company's business and will avoid any confusion associated with the perception that the Company is a venture capital or other financial service business. The change of the Company's name will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of currently outstanding stock certificates or the trading of the Company's securities. If this proposal is approved, the stockholders will not be required to surrender or exchange any stock certificates currently held by them. As soon as practicable, following the approval of this proposal and the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of the State of Delaware changing the Company's name to DHB Industries, Inc., all new share certificates issued by the Company will be printed with the Company's new name. Under Delaware law, a change in the name of a Delaware corporation requires both directors' and stockholders' approval of an amendment to the corporation's Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the new corporate name. The Board of Directors has adopted the following resolution to amend the first section of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to reflect that the name of the Company shall be DHB Industries, Inc.: 11 RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation be amended to change the name of the Company from DHB Capital Group Inc. to DHB Industries, Inc., and for that purpose to amend Article First thereof to read in its entirety as follows: "FIRST: The name of the Corporation is DHB Industries, Inc." The affirmative vote of a majority of shares outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to approve this proposal. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE NAME CHANGE PROPOSAL 3 APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The Board of Directors has selected Paritz & Company P.A., as the Company's auditors for the year ending December 31, 2001. The Board of Directors requests the ratification of the appointment of Paritz & Company P.A. by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Aggregate fees billed for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements, tax returns and the quarterly analysis of the financial statements in 2000 were $55,000. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of tax preparation services is compatible with maintaining the independent accountants' independence and has determined that such services have not adversely affected the auditors' independence. Paritz and Company P.A. has served as the independent accountants for the Company since 1999. A representative of Paritz and Company P.A. is expected to be present at the meeting and will have the opportunity to make statements if he desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Common Shares present, in present or represented by proxy, is required for ratification of the appointment of Paritz and Company P.A. as the independent accountants. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PARITZ AND COMPANY P.A. ANNUAL REPORT A copy of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (without exhibits) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is being mailed to stockholders with this Proxy Statement. 12 FUTURE PROPOSALS If any Stockholder wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for the Company's 2002 Annual Meeting, the rules of the SEC require that such proposal be received at the Company's principal executive office by a reasonable time prior to January 31, 2002. All such proposals are subject to the applicable rules and requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
