DHB designs, develops, manufactures and markets protective armor through its subsidiaries, Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. and Protective Apparel Corporation of America.

Saba at asaba@scott-scott.com (800/332-2259, ext. 26). The complaint filed on September 9, 2005 by Scott + Scott, LLC alleges that during the Class Period, DHB and certain individual defendants including CEO David Brooks, violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making false statements or failing to disclose adverse facts known to them about DHB. Defendants' fraudulent scheme, it is alleged, (a) deceived the investing public regarding DHB's prospects and business; (b) artificially inflated the prices of DHB's publicly traded securities; (c) allowed defendants to sell approximately $195.4 million of their own shares at inflated prices; and (d) caused members of the Class to purchase DHB's publicly traded securities at inflated prices. "Now that [DHB] has cratered to one-fourth its former high price, I don't see any insider buying. Instead, I see insiders granting themselves a giant pile of warrants, including a ludicrous 1.5 million to [CEO David] Brooks at a $1 strike price, vesting immediately -- with another 750,000 vesting each year until 2010 ... Mix in overly generous housing and personal benefits and a slew of creepy related-part transactions that enrich family members, and you can only come to the conclusion that Brooks believes that what's his is his, and what's yours is his too," says Seth Jayson from fool.com in a September 8, 2005 article. The plaintiff is represented by Scott + Scott, LLC, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions. The firm dedicates itself to client communication and satisfaction and currently is litigating major securities, antitrust and employee retirement plan actions throughout the United States.
