2009

SHENZHEN, China, May 18 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/-- International

"We have seen some industry analysis suggesting that the backlight segment
may experience some recovery in fiscal year 2009," commented Song Yi,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Diguang. "Meanwhile, we are working
proactively to build sales for high-value products such as LCD modules,
ultra-slim LED monitors that we launched our 19" version commercially in March
2009, and general LED lighting solutions. These three newer product lines
contributed $832,000 to first-quarter revenues, or 13.9% of total quarterly
sales. Our product mix has shifted to consisting primarily of LED products for
the first time, in anticipation of the expectation for LED technologies to
supplant CCFL in coming years. We are well positioned for a turnaround in our
backlight business when it occurs, with manufacturing resources strategically
located in all three of China's top regions for electronics manufacturing."
Highlights for the three months Ended March 31, 2009
Net revenue totaled approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 63%, compared to $16.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Cost of sales was $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
a decrease of $8.2 million, or 60%, compared to $13.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $621,000,
or 10.4% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $2.6 million, or 16.3% of
net sales, for the same period of 2008, and compared to negative gross profit
in the fourth quarter of 2008. Negative impact on the Company's first-quarter
gross margin included incurrence of overhead costs despite lower sales. To
account for cost of sales, which for some products exceeded their net
realizable value, the Company made a provision for inventories, amounting to
$238,000, or 4% of net sales, for the 2009 first quarter, compared to no such
provision in the first quarter of 2008.
Operating expenses totaled approximately $2.0 million for the 2009 first
quarter, a year-over-year decrease of 5.7%. As a percentage of net sales,
first-quarter 2009 total operating expenses amounted to 32.6%, compared to
fourth-quarter 2008 operating expenses at 12.8% of net sales.
First-quarter selling expenses increased by 2.6% year over year to
$418,000. In support of new product initiatives, research and development
expenses increased by approximately 27.9% to $406,000. Quarterly general and
administrative expenses declined 16.2% year over year to $1.1 million.
The Company's net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
$1.2 million, compared to net income of $299,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008.
The loss per basic and diluted share was $(0.05) for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, compared with earnings per share of $0.01 for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
Excluding non-cash items, net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 on
a non-GAAP basis would have been $725,936, or $(0.03) per share. Excluding
non-cash items, net income for the first quarter of 2008 on a non-GAAP basis
would have been $991,718, or $0.04 per share. Please see the reconciliation
table below.
As of March 31, 2009, Diguang had cash and cash equivalents of $10.3
million and working capital of $7.1 million. Shareholders' equity totaled

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, which requires the Company to begin
recognizing compensation expense relating to stock-based payment transactions.
To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements
presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provides non-GAAP financial
information.
The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide
investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to the
Company's historical performance. The additional non-GAAP information is not
meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financials.
The non-GAAP financial information that the Company provides also may differ
from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
Most Recent Events
In March 2009, Diguang announced the commercial launch of its new ultra-
slim 19" LED computer monitors in several major cities spanning all the most
heavily populated regions in China. Management believes that these products
answer unmet consumers' demand and Chinese Government's mandates for
affordable low-radiation, energy-saving computer monitors that the Company can
market at relatively high margins.
