 (1) Includes Sarian revenue of $2.0 million and $16.2 million for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Also includes Sarian revenue of $3.3 million and $5.7 million for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2008, from date of acquisition on April 28, 2008. 
 (2) Includes Spectrum revenue of $1.4 million and $4.5 million for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Also includes Spectrum revenue of $0.8 million for both the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2008, from date of acquisition on July 23, 2008. 
 (3) Includes MobiApps revenue of $0.1 million in North America and $0.2 million in Asia Pacific for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Includes MobiApps revenue of $0.1 million in North America and $0.3 million in Asia Pacific from date of acquisition on June 8, 2009. 


Gross profit was $19.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 compared to
$25.9 million in the same period in the prior year. The gross margin was 48.5%
in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 compared to 51.5% in the fourth fiscal
quarter of 2008, a decline of 3.0 percentage points. The gross margin was lower
in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 than in the comparable period a year ago
due to unfavorable product mix within both the embedded and non-embedded
products. 

Total operating expenses in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 were $18.3
million, or 45.8 % of revenue, compared to $20.8 million, or 41.3% of revenue,
in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008. The decrease in operating expenses in the
fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 compared to the same quarter in the prior year is
primarily due to savings from the restructuring plan announced in the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 and the elimination of the incentive compensation program
for fiscal 2009, offset partially by incremental ongoing operating expenses for
Spectrum and MobiApps. 

Net income was $1.0 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, or $0.04 per
fully diluted share, compared to $3.6 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share,
in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income and net income per
fully diluted share for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 and 2008 were $0.7
million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, and $4.0 million, or $0.16 per fully
diluted share, respectively, as detailed elsewhere in this earnings release. 

Business Results for the Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2009

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2009 (fiscal 2009), Digi reported
revenue of $165.9 million compared to revenue of $185.1 million for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2008 (fiscal 2008), a decrease of $19.2 million, or
10.3%. Revenue from embedded products in fiscal 2009 was $74.7 million compared
to $86.6 million in fiscal 2008, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 13.8 %. Revenue
from non-embedded products was $91.2 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $98.5
million in fiscal 2008, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 7.3%. Revenue from
embedded products in fiscal 2009 includes $4.5 million of Spectrum revenue and
$0.4 million of MobiApps revenue. Revenue from embedded products in fiscal 2008
includes $0.8 million of Spectrum revenue from date of acquisition. Revenue from
non-embedded products includes Sarian-branded revenue of $16.2 million and $5.7
million for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. 

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2009, Digi reported net income of $4.1
million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, compared to net income for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2008, of $12.4 million, or $0.47 per fully diluted
share. Net income for fiscal 2009 was reduced by the charge for restructuring
expenses of $1.9 million, net of tax, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, offset
partially by tax benefits of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share,
resulting from the reversal of tax reserves associated with the extension of the
research and development credit, the resolution of certain state tax matters,
and the closing of a prior tax year. Net income for fiscal 2008 was reduced by
the charge for in-process research and development and other expenses associated
with the acquisition of Sarian of $2.1 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share
and the write-down of an impaired investment of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per fully
diluted share, partially offset by a tax benefit of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per
fully diluted share, resulting from the reversal of tax reserves associated with
the closure of a prior tax year. 

Digi`s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance, including
long-term marketable securities, was $75.8 million at September 30, 2009, an
increase of $8.9 million over the cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities balance at June 30, 2009, and an increase of $2.1 million over the
comparable balance at September 30, 2008. Digi re-purchased 893,162 shares of
stock during fiscal 2009 for $6.6 million and spent approximately $3.0 million
for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MobiApps. Please refer
to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included in this earnings
release for additional cash flow details. At September 30, 2009, Digi`s current
ratio was 7.4 to 1 compared to 6.4 to 1 at September 30, 2008. 

Fiscal 2009 Business Highlights:

Recognition

* Digi was chosen to be included in the NASDAQ OMX Clean Edge Smart Grid
Infrastructure Index (NASDAQ:QGRD), a new benchmark for the smart grid and
electric infrastructure sector. The NASDAQ OMX Clean Edge Smart Grid
Infrastructure Index is a modified market-capitalization index and includes
companies that are primarily involved in electric grid; electric meters, devices
and networks; energy storage and management; and enabling software used by the
smart grid and electric infrastructure sector. The index enables investors to
"easily track companies that are working diligently to help fully implement an
energy grid that is more efficient, cleaner and resilient." 
* Fortune Small Business named Digi International one of "America`s 100 Fastest
Growing Small Public Companies." As a group, FSB 100 companies outperformed the
stock market by a wide margin, posting an average annual return of 9.8% for the
year ended May 31, 2009, compared with an annual loss of 28.6% for the Russell
Microcap Growth Index. In the July/August 2009 edition of the magazine, the
editors wrote, "In good times the FSB 100 constitutes an elite group of small
public companies: the best of the best, measured by revenue growth and stock
performance over the past three years. But in this Great Recession, their
performance is nothing short of miraculous."

Key Partnerships and Customer Relationships

* Digi signed a partner agreement with XATA Corporation (NASDAQ: XATA), the
expert in fleet operations optimization. Under the agreement, Digi will deliver
iDigi, a range of its cellular and satellite communications products and
services, to meet XATA`s technology and connectivity needs for the for-hire and
private fleet trucking marketplaces. The relationship is expected to expand over
time, as XATA enhances its portfolio of communications, navigation and fleet
performance software applications and Digi enables XATA`s increased in-cab
computing capacity. 
* Addressing the increasing government demand for and support of smart grid
technology, Digi partnered with leaders in the smart grid industry, such as
Itron and Heliodyne, to supply Digi technology for smart grid applications in
the remote monitoring and control of distribution automation (DA) devices, and
solar water heating systems, to name a few. Such a modernized electricity
network is a way of addressing energy independence, global warming and emergency
resilience issues and is aimed at saving energy, reducing costs and increasing
reliability and transparency in delivering electricity from suppliers to
consumers using digital technology. 
* Verizon Wireless chose Digi to provide a wireless broadband backup solution
for Verizon Wireless communications stores. The Digi solution is being deployed
at 300 Verizon Wireless communications stores across the US.

iDigi Bundled Wireless Solutions

* Digi introduced iDigi Energy, a wireless M2M solution bundle optimized for
energy services providers. The energy solution bundle includes the hardware,
hosted software and services necessary to accelerate Smart Energy deployments.
iDigi Energy lowers the barriers for companies to build robust, next generation
information services by removing the complexities of remote device
communication. 
* Digi announced the launch of the ZigBee Smart Energy Certified ESP Gateway,
built upon the industry's first ZigBee Smart Energy ready module. As a device
communication standard for home area networks (HANs) selected by the U.S.
Department of Energy, the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile enables utilities to
intelligently manage energy loads, monitor energy use and optimize consumption. 
* Digi also introduced iDigi Tank, a wireless M2M solutions bundle optimized for
storage tank monitoring. iDigi Tank includes the hardware, hosted software, and
services necessary to quickly and easily build applications for connecting
remote tanks of liquids, solids, and gases.

Wireless Acquisition

* Digi entered the satellite M2M market with the acquisition of MobiApps assets
in June 2009, a purchase that positions Digi with satellite products and
technologies that complement its wireless M2M strategy and gives the company a
strong presence in India.

Digi Innovation

* Fiscal year 2009 marked another year of innovation for Digi with 21 new

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
which generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such
as "anticipate," "believe," "target," "estimate," "may," "will," "expect,"
"plan," "project," "should," or "continue" or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or similar terminology. Such statements are based on
information available to management as of the time of such statements and relate
to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which the
Company operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in
the market and statements regarding the Company's mission and vision. Such
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, including risks related to the highly competitive
market in which the Company operates, rapid changes in technologies that may
displace products sold by the Company, declining prices of networking products,
the Company's reliance on distributors, delays in the Company's product
development efforts, uncertainty in consumer acceptance of the Company's
products, continued or increasing weakness in North America and developing
weakness in other regions due to changes in economic conditions, the current
uncertainty in global economic conditions which could negatively affect product
demand, the recent financial crises affecting the banking system and financial
markets which could negatively impact the financial solvency of the Company`s
customers and suppliers, the extreme volatility in fixed income, credit and
equity markets which could result in actual amounts realized on the Company`s
debt securities or other investments that differ significantly from current
market values, the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies
associated with acquisitions, and changes in the Company's level of revenue or
profitability. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified
from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including without limitation, its annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2008 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, could
cause the Company's future results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Many of such
factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made.
The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

This release includes non-GAAP operating income, earnings before taxes,
depreciation and amortization(EBTDA), net income and earnings per diluted share
data.

Management understands that there are material limitations on the use of
non-GAAP measures.Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such
as operating income, income before income taxes, or net income, for the purpose
of analyzing financial performance.The disclosure of these measures does not
reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by the Company.These
non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures
prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be
different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.In addition, these
non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or
principles.Digi believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do
not reflect all of the amounts associated with Digi`s results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used
to evaluate Digi`s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding
GAAP measures.Additionally, management understands that EBTDA does not reflect
the Company`s cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of
depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for the
Company`s working capital needs.

Digi believes that providing operating income and net income and earnings per
diluted share exclusive of the impact of restructuring expenses, in-process
research and development and other acquisition-related expenses, the write down
of impaired investments, and the impact of the reversal of tax reserves and
other discrete tax benefits permits investors to compare results with prior
periods that did not include these items.Management uses the aforementioned
non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends
and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the
Company.In addition, shareholders in the Company have expressed an interest in
seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of decisions
relating to restructuring charges, acquisitions, investments and taxes, which
while important, are not central to the core operations of Digi`s
business.Additionally, management believes that the presentation of EBTDA as a
percentage of net sales is useful to investors because it provides a reliable
and consistent approach to measuring the Company`s performance from year to year
and in assessing the Company`s performance against other companies.Management
believes that such information helps investors compare operating results and
corporate performance exclusive of the impact of the Company`s capital structure
and the method by which assets were acquired.EBTDA is also used by management as
a metric for executive compensation, as well as incentive compensation for the
rest of the employee base, and it is monitored quarterly for these purposes.
