BUSINESS GENERAL DHB Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 1992 ("DHB" or the "Company"), is a holding company comprised of two divisions: DHB Armor Group and DHB Sports Group. DHB Armor Group consists of Protective Apparel Corporation of America ("PACA"), Point Blank Body Armor Inc. ("Point Blank"), and Point Blank International S.A. ("PB International"). DHB Armor Group develops, manufactures and distributes bullet and projectile-resistant garments, bullet-resistant and fragmentation vests, and related ballistic accessories. DHB Sports Group, which consists of NDL Products, Inc. ("NDL"), manufactures and distributes protective athletic apparel and equipment, including elbow, breast, hip, groin, knee, shin and ankle supports and braces, as well as a line of therapy products. The Company's executive offices are located at 555 Westbury Avenue, Carle Place, New York 11514. Its telephone number is 516-997-1155. The Company's website is www.DHBT.com. The Company's manufacturing facilities are located in Florida, Tennessee and Belgium. DHB reincorporated in Delaware in 1995 and changed its name from DHB Capital Group Inc. to DHB Industries, Inc. in July 2001. Its shares began trading on the American Stock Exchange on February 1, 2002 under the symbol DHB. DHB ARMOR GROUP OVERVIEW. The Armor Group faced unique challenges last year. It resisted a union organizing drive that began in the Summer of 2002. The Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees ("UNITE")--then engaged in a corporate campaign aimed at financial analysts and customers in an attempt to disparage the Company and to force it to recognize the union. Another union brought a shareholder derivative action against the Company and its officers and directors parroting the union's allegations, among others. The Company refused to succumb to the union's threats. As a result, it suffered adverse publicity and a decline in its stock price. By year's end, however, DHB had endured the controversy still atop the body armor industry. Indeed, it continues to be the largest provider of body armor to our nation's military as our troops go to war against Iraq. Moreover, during the first quarter of 2003, the Armor Group has expanded to a second production facility in South Florida, reintegrated striking workers into its work force, and won dismissal with prejudice of that shareholder suit. In sum, the Company emerged from a year of tumult in triumph, and is now proudly providing the body armor that is protecting our soldiers in battle. PRODUCTS AND MARKETS. The DHB Armor Group, the preeminent name in the armor industry, principally manufactures three types of body armor: concealable armor, which is designed to be worn beneath the user's clothing; tactical armor, which is worn externally and is designed to protect against more serious ballistic threats; and modular concealable / tactical armor which allows the wearer to customize the armor for either concealable or tactical use. The Armor Group's products are sold predominantly through a network of distributors, sales representatives, private label sales and direct contracts, with few direct orders. All Armor Group products are certified to the applicable NIJ standards. 2 The Armor Group's "Interceptor" contract with the U.S. Department of Defense is an integral and expanding Company program. The Interceptor program is designed as a continually upgradeable modular, soft body armor system for the U.S. Military. The Armor Group has now delivered over 400,000 Interceptors to the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, and U.S. Air Force. Interceptor was worn throughout Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan and has been credited with saving the lives of U.S. Marines and Soldiers. The Armor Group provides different ballistic models of the Interceptor to different braches of the U.S. Military. Through this diversification of the Interceptor ballistic packages, Point Blank can deliver the Interceptor at a much higher rate of production. In addition to the Interceptor, the Armor Group manufactures a number of other protective armor systems for military use. Fragmentation armor is designed to U.S. government military specification and offers protection against materials and velocities associated with the fragmentation of explosive devices such as grenades, mortars, artillery shells and ballistic projectiles. During 2002, the Armor Group was awarded authorization to proceed with the U.S. Army Countermine program, requiring the delivery of several thousand anti-fragmentation Countermine Ensembles. The Armor Group expanded the sales of its tactical body armor throughout the U.S. during 2002 and continued to offer department-specific modification to standard products. By providing customized tactical armor, the Armor Group was able to increase the Company's market share specifically in the tactical market. Many of the Armor Group's Tactical vests have become recognized as the most advanced tactical armor available in terms of form, fit, and function. The Armor Group's extensive lines of body-armor products also include tactical police jackets, military field jackets, executive vests, K-9 protection, fragmentation and close-quarter-battle systems. During 2002, DHB's Armor Group expanded by establishing a stronger presence in the government and international community, by opening a sales and marketing office strategically located near Washington, D.C. DHB's Government & International liaison office is located in the prestigious Crystal City complex, which is in close strategic proximity to the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. This office has been able to develop special accounts with customized products available for immediate delivery for the Military, Domestic and International law enforcement communities. RAW MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING. The Armor Group manufactures all of its bullet, fragmentation and projectile-resistant products. The primary woven fabrics used by the Armor Group in the manufacturing of the ballistic-resistant products include Kevlar(TM), Twaron(TM), Zylon(TM), and shield products such as GoldFlex(TM) and Spectra Flex(TM). Research and Development efforts ensure that the materials are combined to suit particular applications. Substantially all of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of ballistic-resistant garments are made from fabrics which are patented by major corporations and which are purchased from three independent weaving or manufacturing companies. Should any of the manufacturers cease to produce these products for any reason, DHB would be required to use other fabrics. In such an event, an alternative fabric would have to be selected and ballistic tests would need to be performed. Until this was done, DHB's sale of ballistic resistant products would be severely curtailed and DHB's financial condition would be materially adversely affected. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. DHB Armor Group's internal employee research and development team has combined 75 years of ballistic research and development experience, including 30+ years of experience in an NIJ certification environment. Many of its research and development personnel previously held positions of responsibility within the industry. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS. The Company holds numerous patents and trademarks registered in the United States for various products. A number of these patents are of considerable value and are believed to be critical to the Company's business. No challenges to its patents and trademarks have arisen and 3 the Company has no reason to believe that any such challenge will arise in the future. The Company has numerous patents pending for unique, futuristic protective armor designs and integrated technologies and has been issued 9 additional trademarks during 2002. CUSTOMERS. The Armor Group's products are sold domestically to United States law enforcement agencies, distributors, corrections facilities and the U.S. Military; and internationally to governments and distributors. Sales to the United States Armed Forces directly or as a subcontractor accounted for 57%, 62%, and 57%, of the Armor Group's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Sales directly and indirectly to domestic state and local law enforcement agencies, security and intelligence agencies, and federal and state correctional facilities, accounted for 22%, 22%, and 30%, respectively, of the Armor Group's revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. Certain sales by the Armor Group to federal agencies are made pursuant to standard purchasing contracts issued by the General Services Administration of the Federal Government, commonly referred to as a "GSA Schedule". GSA Schedule contracts accounted for approximately 16%, 14% and 19%, respectively, of the Armor Group's sales for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. PACA and Point Blank, as GSA Schedule Contract vendors, are obligated to make all sales pursuant to such contracts at its lowest unit price. Their current GSA Contracts expire on July 31, 2006. With the exception of the U.S. Government, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenues in 2002, 2001 and 2000. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION. The Armor Group employs 23 customer support representatives and 26 sales representatives under the direction of 4 sales managers. These personnel are responsible for marketing the Armor Group's products to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the United States. Sales to such law enforcement agencies are made primarily through distributorships established by the sales team. However, in areas in which there are no suitable distributors, the Armor Group will fill orders directly. GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS. Bullet and fragmentation garments and accessories manufactured and sold by the Armor Group are not currently the subject of government regulations. However, law enforcement agencies and the military specify certain standards of performance, such as NIJ standards for bullet-resistant vests in several categories. In addition, the NIJ has established a voluntary standard for testing stab-resistant armor. The Armor Group regularly submits its vests to independent laboratories for testing under these standards and all of its products have, at the time of manufacture, met or exceeded such standards in their respective categories. COMPETITION. The ballistic-resistant garment business is highly competitive and fragmented. The number of United States manufacturers is estimated to be approximately 20. Management is not aware of published reports concerning the market, and most companies are privately held. Nevertheless, the Company believes that the Armor Group is the largest manufacturer of ballistic-resistant garments in the United States. The Armor Group believes that the principal elements of competition in the sale of ballistic-resistant garments are innovative design, price and quality. The Company believes that the Armor Group enjoys a favorable reputation 4 in the industry with over 30 years of supplying federal, state and municipal governments and agencies. BACKLOG. As of March 1, 2003, the Armor Group had a backlog of approximately $57 million. Backlog at any one date is not a reliable indicator of future sales. In addition to its backlog, from time to time the Armor Group receives contract awards for municipal orders that may be extended over a period of time. The actual dollar amount of products to be delivered pursuant to these and similar contracts cannot be accurately predicted and is generally excluded from reported backlog. POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY. The products manufactured or distributed by the Armor Group are used as protective devices in situations that could result in serious injuries or death, including injuries that may result from the failure of such products. The Armor Group maintains product liability insurance for PACA and Point Blank in the amount of $21,000,000 each per occurrence, and $22,000,000 in the aggregate, less a deductible of $100,000 for each company. PB International maintains product liability insurance in the amount of $2,000,000 for each occurrence, with a $5,000 deductible. There is no assurance that these amounts would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claim. In addition, there is no assurance that this or any other insurance coverage will continue to be available, or, if available, that Point Blank, PACA and PB International would be able to obtain such insurance at a reasonable cost. Any substantial uninsured loss would have to be paid out of the subject subsidiary's assets, as applicable, and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis. The inability to obtain product liability coverage may prohibit Point Blank, PACA or PB International in the future from bidding for orders from certain governmental customers. Many governmental agencies currently require such insurance coverage, and any such inability to bid would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis. EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 2002, the Armor Group employed approximately 450 full-time employees. There was one officer of the Armor Group, 20 persons employed in supervisory capacities, 365 employed in manufacturing, shipping and warehousing, 30 in customer service and sales, six technical/research development personnel, and 28 office personnel. In the opinion of management, the Armor Group maintains a satisfactory relationship with its employees. DHB SPORTS GROUP PRODUCTS AND MARKETS. DHB Sports Group is a collection of brands that service specific segments of the sporting goods and health care markets with its sports medicine, protective gear, health supports and magnetic therapy products. The Sports Group also offers private label or house brand programs to major retailers and large wholesalers along with specific OEM programs to outside brands that service the same markets. Currently, the Sports Group manufactures and markets products under the brands NDLTM, GRIDTM, MagneSystemsTM, FLEX-AIDTM, and Doctor Bone SaversTM. The Sports Group markets its product to a variety of distribution points with an emphasis on major retailers. Mass merchandisers, chain drug stores, food chains, independent sporting goods and pharmacy retailers, catalog, wholesale and e-commerce offer the various brands to the consumer. The Sports Group account list includes retail and wholesale establishments such as Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer and Phar Mor. Two customers, Wal-Mart and Target, collectively accounted 5 for 75%, 61% and 54% of the Sports Group's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Sports Group has negotiated private label programs with three of the largest wholesalers to the retail trade: Amerisource, Cardinal Health and CDMA. These wholesalers have begun servicing their 10,000 store networks with their Family PharmacyTM, LeaderTM and Quality Choice BrandsTM of health support products. The Sports Group is a member of NACDS (National Association of Chain Drug Stores), PLMA (Private Label Manufacturers Association), and SGMA (Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association). POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY. The products manufactured or distributed by the Sports Group are used as protective devices in situations that could result in serious injuries or death, including injuries that may result from the failure of such products. The Sports Group maintains product liability insurance in the amount of $21,000,000 each per occurrence, and $22,000,000 in the aggregate, less a deductible of $100,000. There is no assurance that these amounts would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claim. In addition, there is no assurance that this or any other insurance coverage will continue to be available, or, if available, that the Sports Group would be able to obtain such insurance at a reasonable cost. Any substantial uninsured loss would have to be paid out of the Sport's Group assets and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis. EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 2002, the Sports Group employed approximately 45 full-time employees. There was one officer of the Sports Group, four persons employed in supervisory capacities, 30 employed in manufacturing, shipping and warehousing, three in sales and customer service, and seven office personnel. All of the Sports Group's employees are employed full-time. In the opinion of management, the Sports Group's relationship with its employees is good. The Sports Group also has more than 50 independent sales representatives who, together with the sales executives, are responsible for sales throughout the Untied States, Western Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. The Sports Group has in-house sales support and state-of-the-art EDI order and invoicing capabilities. SEGMENT INFORMATION As described in detail above, the Company operates in two principal segments: ballistic-resistant equipment and protective athletic/sports products. The Company disposed of its Electronics Group in March 2000, and closed its hard armor company, LAP, in October 1999. These two divestitures are accounted for as discontinued operations.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION The Company's internet address/website is www.dhbt.com. As of the date of this Form 10-K, due to a late start in establishing the necessary links and certain technical difficulties on the website, the Company does not make available free of charge on its website the Company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although the Company anticipates being able to do so some time during the second quarter of 2003, such that these reports can be available promptly after they are filed with the SEC. In the interim, the Company will voluntarily provide electronic copies (or a reasonable number of paper copies) of its filings free of charge upon request. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS. The Company's corporate headquarters are in a 3,750 square foot leased office located at 555 Westbury Avenue, Carle Place, New York 11514. The lease expires on December 31, 2004. 7 PACA. The Company leases a 60,060 square foot manufacturing facility with administrative offices at 179 Mine Lane, Jacksboro, Tennessee 37757, for its subsidiary, PACA. The lease expires on April 15, 2006. NDL/POINT BLANK FACILITY. Point Blank leases a 67,000 square foot office and manufacturing facility (the "Oakland Park Facility") located at 4031 N.E. 12th Terrace, Oakland Park, Florida 33334, from V.A.E. Enterprises, LLC ("V.A.E."), a Limited Liability Corporation controlled by Mrs. Terry Brooks, wife of Mr. David H. Brooks, and beneficially owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brooks' minor children. NDL Products occupies a portion of the space in the Oakland Park facility. The lease expires on December 31, 2010. Management believes that the terms of the lease are no less favorable to the Company than terms that would have been obtained at the time of the lease from an unrelated third party. NDL WAREHOUSE. On October 1, 2002, the Company entered into a two-year lease for a 31,500 square foot warehouse adjacent to the Oakland Park Facility from an unrelated third party. This warehouse is located at 1201 NE 38th Street, Oakland Park, Florida. POINT BLANK-ADDITIONAL FACILITY.

PENDING LITIGATION The Company has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, against its insurance carrier and an insurance agent, for negligence and breach of fiduciary duties as a result of the damages the Company incurred during Hurricane Irene in October 1999. The Company is vigorously pursuing this action. On March 17, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with its insurance agent for a $1 million payment to the Company. The lawsuit against the insurance carrier has been scheduled for trial in the fall of 2003. On or about June 21, 2001, American Body Armor and Equipment Inc. commenced an action against the Company's subsidiary, PACA, in the United States District Court of the Middle District of Florida. In September 2002, the parties filed a joint resolution and settlement with American Body Armor, ending this patent infringement case. This settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, result of operations or financial condition. On October 1, 2002, a shareholders' derivative action was commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, on behalf of the Company against the directors and officers of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant, by Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 112 Pension Fund, derivatively on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated ("Plaintiff"). This case was dismissed with prejudice on March 13, 2003, without 8 liability to the Company or its officers or directors. The Company is seeking dismissal of another identical suit brought on behalf of a second shareholder on the same grounds that required dismissal in the other suit. The Company maintains $10 million of directors and officers' liability insurance covering this type of claim. On or about October 30, 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against certain union leaders, claiming defamation, conspiracy to defame and tortuous interference with contractual and ongoing business relationships. The case is still in its preliminary stages, and the Company is vigorously pursuing this action. The Company is involved in other litigation, none of which is considered by management to be material to the Company's business or, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K. GENERAL The Company is a holding company, which currently conducts business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries organized in two divisions, the DHB Armor Group and the DHB Sports Group. The Company's products are sold both nationally and internationally. The Armor Group's sales are directed primarily to law enforcement agencies and military services. Sales to the U.S. military comprise the largest portion of the Armor Group's business, followed by sales to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, including correctional facilities. Accordingly, any substantial increase or reduction in governmental spending or change in emphasis in defense and law enforcement programs could have a material effect on the Armor Group's business. The Sports Group manufactures and markets a variety of sports medicine, protective gear, health supports and magnetic therapy products under its own labels, private labels and house brands for major retailers. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001. Consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 33.0% to a record $130.3 million compared to net sales of $98.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Due to the emphasis on homeland security and various military actions occurring throughout 2002, the Armor Group's revenue increased 33.5% to $124.8 million compared to $93.5 million for 2001. The Sports Group's revenues increased by 22.1% to $5.5 million in 2002 versus $4.5 million for 2001. Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 28.9% compared to 26.9% in 2001, primarily as a result of the increase in revenues as well as volume purchase discounts which the Company was able to utilize during 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 18.3% of 2002 revenues as compared to 13.9% of revenues in 2001. The selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $13.6 million in 2001 to $23.9 million in 2002, primarily as a result of increased legal fees in the successful defense of a patent infringement case and legal and professional fees associated with the union organizing campaign targeting DHB's subsidiary, 11 including the associated security, public relations and legal fees arising out of the defense of the organizing effort. Also included in selling, general and administrative expenses for 2002 were a $646,000 non-cash compensation charge and $255,000 straight-line rent described above. Primarily as a result of the increased selling, general and administrative expenses, operating margin decreased from 13.0% in 2001 to 10.6% in 2002. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $1.6 million, down nearly $900,000 from the $2.5 million of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease is the result of lower interest rates under the Company's credit facility combined with the repayment of $5.5 million of shareholder indebtedness and the conversion of $3 million of shareholder indebtedness into preferred stock. Although the total amount owed under the credit facility increased, the overall cost of capital decreased during 2002. The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $7.4 million available to offset income in future years. The benefit to the Company is the cash tax payments such NOL carryforwards can offset. Because the Company has had three solid years of growth and is projecting profitability in 2003, it is more likely than not that the Company can utilize this benefit prior to its expiration in 2019. Therefore, in 2002, the Company has recognized a deferred income tax benefit of approximately $3.7 million related to temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years and the net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax asset is broken down into the current portion of $3.3 million and the long-term portion of $1.4 million for temporary timing differences in book to tax income. The income tax expense for 2001 was nominal and was offset by the NOL, so that only state and franchise taxes were expensed. Net income was approximately $16.0 million for 2002, which was reduced by the $345,000 preferred stock dividend paid to bring the income available to common stockholders to $15.6 million or $0.37 cents per fully diluted share compared to income of $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 or $0.28 per fully diluted share. The fully diluted shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were 42,304,254 and 36,775,910, respectively. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000. Consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $98.0 million, a 40.0% increase over the 2000 annual net sales of $70.0 million. This increase is primarily attributable to increased purchases by the Military and domestic law enforcement customers. The gross margin decreased from 29.5% to 26.9%, primarily as a result of the plant shutdown and relocation of the PACA facility during the first quarter of 2001. However, operating margins expanded to 13.0% of revenues or $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to 11.7% of revenues or $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase is attributable to the manufacturing operating efficiencies resulting from higher sales volumes, volume purchasing discounts from our vendors, and tighter control of expenses. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 as a percentage of revenues decreased to 13.9% as compared to 17.8% in 2000. 12 Interest expense for the year 2001 decreased by approximately $230,000 to $2.5 million as a result of lower interest rates under the Company's credit facility with LaSalle Business Credit. Other income declined by $250,000, as the 2000 figure included gain on the sale of the previous corporate headquarters. As a result of the foregoing, the Company achieved net income of $10.1 million for the year 2001 as compared to $6.0 million for the year 2000, a 68.7% increase. Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $0.28 per share with 36,775,910 fully diluted shares versus $0.18 per share on 34,086,963 fully diluted shares for 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary capital requirements over the next twelve months are to assist its subsidiaries in financing their working capital requirements. Its operating subsidiaries sell the majority of their products on 60 to 90-day terms. Working capital is needed to finance the receivables, manufacturing process and inventory. Working capital at December 31, 2002 was approximately $53.1 million as compared to working capital of approximately $20.5 at December 31, 2001. This increase in working capital reflects primarily an $11.9 million increase in accounts receivable, an $8.8 million increase in inventory and a $7.9 million decrease in accounts payable. These changes caused the Company to use approximately $15.5 million in its cash flow from operations. On September 24, 2001, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), as amended on June 28, 2002 and February 25, 2003, which expires on September 24, 2004. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $35 million during the period commencing on February 18, 2003 and ending on August 31, 2003, $30 million during the period commencing on September 1, 2003 and ending on November 30, 2003, and $25 million at all times on and after December 1, 2003, or (ii) 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $14 million or certain percentages of eligible inventory, as defined. Interest is either at the prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.50%. A portion of these funds was used to partially refinance higher interest debt. The remaining funds have been and will be used to meet increased demands for capital generated during a period of rapid growth, which has accelerated in response our growing markets. The Company's capital expenditures in 2002 decreased to $367,000, as compared to approximately $554,000 during 2001. The Company anticipates increasing its capital expenditures in 2003 to help further the growth of the Company. This increase should not have a material impact on the financial statements. The Company believes that its existing credit line, together with funds generated from operations, will be adequate to sustain its operations through 2003. 13 CASH CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The following table presents the Company's estimated cash requirements for contractual obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2002: Payments Due by Period ($ in thousands) ______________________ Less than 1-3 4-5 After Contractual Obligations 1 year years years 5 years Total _______________________ ______ _______ ______ _______ _______ Long-Term Debt $ -- $25,854 $ -- $ -- $25,854 Employment Contracts 625 1,400 -- -- 2,025 Operating Leases 1,295 2,741 2,456 3,035 9,527 Total Contractual Cash Obligations $1,920 $29,995 $2,456 $3,035 $37,406 14 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's management believes that its critical accounting polices include: REVENUE RECOGNITION - DHB recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Product revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered and legal title and all risks of ownership have been transferred, written contract and sales terms are complete, customer acceptance has occurred and payment is reasonably assured. Returns are minimal and do not materially affect the consolidated financial statements. ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the carrying value of long-lived assets and allowances for receivables and inventories. Actual results could differ from these estimates. INCOME TAXES - DHB uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. OTHER INVESTMENT - DHB has a cost-based investment in a non-publicly traded company. A decline in the value of this cost-based investment below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in a new cost basis for the investment. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. DHB is required to implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. DHB does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This standard nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This standard requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. DHB is required to implement SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003. 15 DHB does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which expands previously issued accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees. The interpretation requires an entity to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed by issuing a guarantee. The provision for initial recognition and measurement of the liability will be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. DHB does not expect this interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," which provides optional transition guidance for those companies electing to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company does not plan to change its method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company will make the required interim disclosures effective with the quarter ending March 31, 2003. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51," which requires all variable interest entities ("VIEs") to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that holds the majority of the beneficial interest in the VIE. In addition, the interpretation expands disclosure requirements for both variable interest entities that are consolidated as well as VIEs from which the entity is the holder of a significant amount of the beneficial interests, but not the majority. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are effective for all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements of this interpretation are effective for all periods beginning after June 15, 2003. DHB does not expect this interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company that is based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's management.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances after the date hereof. ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS The Company does not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company's market risk is limited to fluctuations in interest rates as it pertains to its borrowings under its $35 million credit facility. The Company can borrow at either the prime rate of interest or LIBOR plus 2.50%. Any increase in these reference rates could adversely affect the Company's interest expense. The Company does not have any material sales, purchases, assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, and as such, is not subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk. 16 ITEM 8.

To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required during the year ended December 31, 2002, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater-than-10% beneficial owners were complied with. The following table summarizes option/warrant grants (excluding director grants) and the named officers' stock option activity during 2002.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT The compensation of the Company's executive officers is generally determined by either the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, and subject to applicable employment agreements. See "Executive Compensation." Each member of the Compensation Committee is a director who is not an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. GENERAL POLICIES The Company's compensation programs are intended to enable the Company to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent required to achieve its corporate objectives, and thereby increase shareholder value. It is the Company's policy to provide incentives to its senior management to achieve both short-term and long-term objectives and to reward exceptional performance and contributions to the development of the Company's businesses. To attain these objectives, the Company's executive compensation program includes a competitive base salary and stock-based compensation. Stock warrants are granted to employees, including the Company's executive officers, by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee believes that stock warrants provide an incentive that focuses the executive's attention on managing the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. Incentive stock warrants are awarded with an exercise price equal to the market value of Common Stock on the date of grant, and all such warrants have a maximum term of ten years and generally become exercisable not less than six months from the date of grant. Among the Company's executive officers, the number of shares subject to warrants granted to each individual generally depends upon the level of that officer's responsibility. Previous grants of stock warrants are reviewed but are not considered the most important factor in determining the size of any executive's stock option award in a particular year. 21 RELATIONSHIP OF COMPENSATION TO PERFORMANCE The Compensation Committee annually establishes, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and any applicable employment agreements, the salaries that will be paid to the Company's executive officers during the coming year. In setting salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into account several factors, including competitive compensation data, the extent to which an individual may participate in the stock plans maintained by the Company, and qualitative factors bearing on an individual's experience, responsibilities, management and leadership abilities, and job performance. COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER For fiscal 2002, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with the Company, David H. Brooks received a base salary of $575,000. See "Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements." In light of this employment agreement, the Compensation Committee was not required to make any decision regarding the cash compensation of Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks also received warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at $7.11 per share (as did each of the other then-current Directors of the Company). COMPENSATION COMMITTEE Jerome Krantz, Chairman Gary Nadelman Cary Chasin ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock as of March 1, 2003, for (i) each person known by the Company to beneficially own more than five percent of the shares of outstanding Common Stock, (ii) each of the executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table in "Executive Compensation", and (iii) all of the Company's executive officers and directors as a group.

Mr. Brooks may acquire 2,375,000 shares under currently exercisable warrants at prices between $1.00 and $7.11 per share, 50,000 of the warrants were issued in 2003. As the only person with more than 5% ownership of the Company, Mr. Brooks' address is 555 Westbury Avenue, Carle Place, New York 11514.

(9) Includes 3,055,000 shares purchasable pursuant to currently exercisable warrants held by directors and officers. 23 As of December 31, 2002, the Company maintained a single equity compensation plan (its 1995 Stock Option Plan), which had previously been approved by the Company's security holders, and under which the Company is authorized to issue options for up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2002 and the date of this Form 10-K, there were no options outstanding under such plan, and 3,500,000 common stock options remain available for issuance under the plan. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS The Company has funded certain of its acquisitions and operations through the use of term loans from Mr. David H. Brooks, Chairman of the Board of the Company, and Mrs. Terry Brooks, his wife. 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, 12% Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of $0.72 per share per annum, an amount equal to the interest that would have been payable 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. The shares of Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company on December 15 of each year. During 2002, the Company repaid $5.5 million of principal indebtedness owed to Mr. Brooks, bringing the total indebtedness owed by the Company to Mr. Brooks as of December 31, 2002 to $1.5 million. These shareholder loans mature in November 2004 and bear interest at 12% per annum. Point Blank leases a 67,000 square foot office and manufacturing facility (the "Oakland Park Facility") located at 4031 N.E. 12th Terrace, Oakland Park, Florida 33334, from V.A.E. Enterprise LLC ("V.A.E."), a Limited Liability Corporation controlled by Terry Brooks, wife of Mr. David H. Brooks, and beneficially owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brooks' minor children. Total base rental under this lease was $643,000 in 2002, and the lease expires on December 31, 2010. Management performed a comparison of market rates at the time the lease was entered into, and believes that the terms of the lease were at the current market price that would then have been obtained from an unrelated party. ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within the 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, subject to the inherent limitations described below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the completion of the evaluation. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and other procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within 24 the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls will prevent all errors and uncover all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system necessarily reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion or two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

F-7 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DHB Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("DHB" or the "Company"), all of which are wholly owned. DHB has two major divisions, DHB Armor Group and DHB Sports Group. All intercompany balances and transaction have been eliminated in consolidation. Business description DHB Armor Group develops, manufactures, and distributes bullet and projectile resistant garments, bullet resistant and fragmentation vests, bomb projectile blankets, aircraft armor, bullet resistant plates and shields and related ballistic accessories for United States armed forces, federal agencies and state and local law enforcement communities. DHB Sports Group produces and markets a comprehensive line of athletic supports and braces which are merchandised through national superstore chains. DHB maintains manufacturing facilities in Deerfield Beach, FL, Oakland Park, FL, and Jacksboro, TN. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue recognition DHB recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Product revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered and legal title and all risks of ownership have been transferred, written contract and sales terms are complete, customer acceptance has occurred and payment is reasonably assured. Returns are minimal and do not materially affect the consolidated financial statements. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out basis) or market. Property and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major additions, improvements, and renewals, which substantially increase the useful lives of assets, are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated primarily on the straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life or the lease term of the related asset. F-8 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued Cash and cash equivalents All short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents. Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities were accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". DHB classified all its marketable securities as held for investment and, accordingly, unrealized gains and losses were reflected as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) and comprehensive income. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company liquidated its investments in marketable securities. Other investment DHB has a cost-based investment in a non-publicly traded company. The investment is included in "Other investment" in the accompanying balance sheet and is carried at cost. A decline in the value of this cost-based investment below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in a new cost basis for the investment. Fair values of financial instruments The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt approximate their fair values. Income taxes DHB and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return and separate state income tax returns. DHB uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $4,221, $2,327 and $1,317, respectively. F-9 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Advertising expenses The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $950, $742 and $728 of advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding compounding the effects of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, principally warrants, using the treasury stock method except in cases where the effect would be anti-dilutive. Comprehensive income and foreign currency translation Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments, which are a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Stock based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations ("APB No. 25") and has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" (SFAS No. 148'). Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock warrants equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the consolidated financial statement in connection with employee stock warrant grants. Impairment of long-lived assets DHB reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on DHB's ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets. Reclassification Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. F-10 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued New Accounting Standards In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. DHB is required to implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. DHB does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This standard nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This standard requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. DHB is required to implement SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003. DHB does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which expands previously issued accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees. The interpretation requires an entity to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed by issuing a guarantee. The provision for initial recognition and measurement of the liability will be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. DHB does not expect this interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," which provides optional transition guidance for those companies electing to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company does not plan to change its method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company will make the required interim disclosures effective with the quarter ending March 31, 2003. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51," which requires all variable interest entities ("VIEs") to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that holds the majority of the beneficial interest in the VIE. In addition, the interpretation expands disclosure requirements for both variable interest entities that are consolidated as well as VIEs from which the entity is the holder of a significant amount of the beneficial interests, but not the majority. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are effective for all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements of this interpretation are effective for all periods beginning after June 15, 2003. DHB does not expect this interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. F-11 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC.

Note 6 NOTE PAYABLE - BANK December 31, _______________________ 2002 2001 _______ ______ Credit agreement $24,354 $8,442 ======= ====== On September 24, 2001, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), as amended on June 28, 2002 and February 25, 2003, which expires on September 24, 2004. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $35,000 during the period commencing on February 18, 2003 and ending on August 31, 2003, $30,000 during the period commencing on September 1, 2003 and ending on November 30, 2003, and $25,000 at all times on and after December 1, 2003, or (ii) 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $14,000 or certain percentages of eligible inventory, as defined. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at the bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus 2 1/2% per annum (3.928% at December 31, 2002). The borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes both negative and affirmative covenants customary for a credit facility of this nature. The Credit Agreement, among other things, requires the Company to maintain a minimum (i) tangible net worth, as defined, (ii) fixed charge coverage ratio, and (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Credit Agreement further limits the amount of capital expenditures that the Company may incur in any fiscal year. Deferred financing costs associated with the Credit Agreement were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. Amortization expense was $125 and $30 during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. F-13 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 8 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - Continued On June 4, 2002, the Company issued 275,000 warrants to its investor relations firm with an exercise price of $4.95 per share. This warrant expires June 4, 2006. The fair value of this warrant was determined to be approximately $646,000 which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Black-Scholes warrant pricing model used for this warrant had the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate of 4.67%, expected volatility of common stock of 59.83% and a 4 year option term. During the year ended December 31, 2002 the CEO/Chairman and his wife exercised warrants totaling 5,593,751 shares. During 2001, the four members of the Board of Directors were each awarded 25,000 warrants exercisable at $2.00 per share for five years. Also during 2001, the Board of Directors awarded key employees 400,000 warrants exercisable at $2.00 per share, which expire in January 2006.

The per share weighted average fair value of stock warrants granted during the year ended December 31, 2002 was $5.1625. The fair value of these warrants was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model with the following assumptions: The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded warrants and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock warrants.

F-17 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 9 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In October 1999, the Company announced its strategic decision to discontinue the operations of its Lanxide Armor Products ("LAP") and the Electronics Group (LEC and DHB KK). LAP operations where shut down in October 1999 and the Electronics Group was sold on March 10, 2000 for a sales price of $4,234, less the outstanding long-term debt. The results of the closure of LAP and the Electronics Group have been reported separately as discontinued operations. The condensed statements of operations relating to the discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 are presented below: Net sales $401 Cost and expenses (918) ____ Loss before income taxes (517) Gain on disposal 857 ____ Net income $340 ==== Note 10 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS A summary of related party transactions for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 is as follows: 2002 2001 2000 ____ ____ ____ Interest, dividends, rental, professional and other expenses paid or accrued to DHB's majority stockholder $2,116 $2,962 $3,529 The Company leases an office and manufacturing facility from a limited liability corporation indirectly owned by the majority stockholder of DHB pursuant to a lease expiring December 31, 2010 with annual rental approximately $643 and $607 during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, with 6% annual increases thereafter. The Company, recorded $350 non-cash charge during the year ended December 31, 2002 related to straight-lining rent. The Company has indebtedness to the principal shareholder as described in Note 5. Note 11 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company's accounts at these institutions may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Approximately 76%, 75% and 64% for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, of DHB's sales were made to the United States Government or its agencies. F-18 DHB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 11 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Continued A substantial portion of the products sold by DHB are used in situations which could result in serious personal injuries or death, whether on account of the failure of such products, or otherwise. Although DHB maintains substantial amounts of insurance coverage to cover such risks, there is no assurance that these amounts would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claims. In addition, there is no assurance that this or any other insurance coverage will remain available or, if available, that DHB would be able to obtain such insurance at a reasonable cost. The inability to obtain such insurance coverage would prohibit DHB from bidding for certain orders for bullet resistant products from certain governmental customers. Substantially all of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of ballistic-resistant garments are made from fabrics which are patented by major corporations and which are purchased from three independent weaving or manufacturing companies. Should any of the manufacturers cease to produce these products for any reason, DHB would be required to use other fabrics. In such an event, an alternative fabric would have to be selected and ballistic tests would need to be performed. Until this was done, DHB's sale of ballistic resistant products would be severely curtailed and DHB's financial condition would be materially adversely affected. Note 12 SEGMENT INFORMATION As described in Note 1, the Company operates in two principal segments: ballistic-resistant equipment and protective athletic/sports products. The Company disposed of the Electronics Group in March 2000, and closed its hard armor company, LAP, in October 1999. These two divestitures were accounted for as discontinued operations.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share and per share data) Note 13 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - continued Litigation The Company has filed a lawsuit against its insurance carrier and an insurance agent for negligence and breach of fiduciary duties as a result of the damages incurred during Hurricane Irene in October 1999. On March 17, 2003 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with its insurance agent for a $1,000 payment to the Company. The lawsuit against the insurance carrier has been scheduled for trial in the fall of 2003. In June 2001, the Company was served with a lawsuit regarding patent infringement. In September 2002, the parties filed a joint resolution and settlement ending this patent infringement case. This settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition. In October 2002, the Company was served with a derivative shareholder suit against the Company's officers and directors as well as the Company itself. This case was dismissed with prejudice on March 13, 2003, without liability to the Company or its officers or directors. The Company is seeking dismissal of another identical suit brought on behalf of a second shareholder, on the same grounds that required dismissal in the other suit. On or about October 30, 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit against certain union leaders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, claiming defamation, conspiracy to defame and tortuous interference with contractual and ongoing business relationships. The Company is vigorously pursuing this action. The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims, which have risen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally adjudicated. These actions when ultimately concluded and determined will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial condition of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company reduced approximately $5,873 of valuation allowance placed on the U.S. portion of the Company's deferred tax assets. This reduction was based on updated expectations about future years' taxable income to reflect continuing improvements in operating results influenced by the Company's continued revenue growth, and other indications that certain concerns that had previously limited management's expectations about future taxable income no longer were applicable.
