(OTC Pink Sheets: DHBT.PK), a leader in the field of protective body armor, announced today that on August 17, 2006, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and the related financial information for those periods and interim periods, should no longer be relied upon. The conclusion followed a recommendation of the Company's recently appointed financial management, supplied by AlixPartners, LLC, and a review of the pertinent facts. The Company continues to conduct an analysis of its historical information and records. Several professionals and advisors employed or retained by the Company have highlighted discrepancies with respect to the reasonableness of estimates and the accuracy of reported inventory, gross profit, and income levels in fiscal years 2003 and 2004. Further, the Company's management has concluded that at this time there is insufficient information in the Company's records to permit making a determination of the magnitude of the inaccuracies or the cumulative effect that any potential inaccuracies may have on the inventory, gross profit and net income values reported by the Company for these prior periods. The subsequent analysis could result in a restatement of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. In addition, in making its determination with regard to historical financial statements, the Executive Committee considered the conclusions of the Company's financial management that (i) the Company's existing internal controls over financial reporting do not provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and (ii) the lack of historical records and the lack of documentation providing evidence of prior controls limits the Company's ability to substantiate the financial reports produced during the fiscal years 2003 and 2004. The Company continues its efforts to strengthen and enhance its internal control system and position itself to complete its financial statements and financial statement analysis. The Company is unable to predict at this time when it will be in the position to file all required current and historical financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management has discussed the matters disclosed in this press release with Rachlin Cohen & Holtz LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, and has notified Weiser LLP, the Company's former independent registered public accounting firm, with regard to these matters. -MORE- ABOUT DHB INDUSTRIES DHB Industries, Inc.'s Armor Group is in the protective body armor industry.
