FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

             DHB INDUSTRIES INC. REPORTS RECEIPT OF "WELLS NOTICE"
                   FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


WESTBURY, NY - (May 25, 2006) - DHB Industries, Inc. (AMEX:DHB), a leader in the
field of  protective  body  armor,  announced  today  that it  received a "Wells
Notice"  on May 23,  2006 from the staff (the  "Staff")  of the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The "Wells  Notice"  indicates  that the Staff has  preliminarily  determined to
recommend  that the SEC bring a civil  injunctive  action  against  the  Company
alleging violations of the antifraud, reporting and books and records provisions
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Should
it proceed with an action,  the Wells  notice  states that the Staff will allege
that  the  Company  recorded  false  journal  entries  in 2005  relating  to its
inventory for the purpose of materially  increasing  its gross profit margin and
net  income.  The Wells  notice  indicates  that the Staff may seek a  temporary
restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, the appointment
of a corporate monitor and civil money penalties. On March 31, 2006, the Company
disclosed  that  investors  should no longer  rely on the  Company's  previously
issued interim financial  statements for 2005 as a result of the  identification
of certain  adjustments  of  inventory,  both  positive and  negative,  that are
individually material to each quarter.

Under SEC procedures, recipients of "Wells Notices" have the opportunity to make
a written  submission before the Staff makes a formal  recommendation to the SEC
on whether any action  should be brought by the SEC. The Company is currently in
discussions with the Staff to address this matter.

As also  previously  reported,  the  Company  is  currently  the  subject  of an
investigation by the SEC with respect to certain related party  transactions and
executive compensation matters regarding the Company and affiliates of Mr. David
H. Brooks,  the  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer.  The Company is unable to
predict the outcome of this investigation or these other matters.
