Diguang International Announces Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2009

SHENZHEN, China, November 16, 2009 -- Diguang International Development Co., Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: DGNG) (“Diguang” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

“In the third quarter, we saw improvement in order volume as the worldwide economy and market demand continued to recover. Revenue approached year ago levels and rose 32% from the second quarter of 2009. More importantly, gross margin improved due to our cost control efforts. We maintained our sales, research and development activities in support of our strategy to keep abreast with long-term market trends,” said Mr. Song Yi, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Diguang.

“Our product mix demonstrates the popularity of our new, value-added product lines. Sales of liquid crystal modules (LCM) nearly doubled to $3.7 million, two thirds of which were sold to new customers. This was offset by a decline in LED BLUs due to the loss of two mid size LED customers during the quarter. We continue cooperating with large Taiwan TFT manufacturers to assemble LCD modules with our backlights for TV manufacturers in China. As LED penetration gains further momentum in the LCD TV and notebook sectors, we are confident we are strategically positioned to capitalize on long term growth,' continued Mr. Song.

”We believe the worst period for the industry is over and we are well positioned to benefit from the recovery in demand. As global and domestic TV and monitor makers aggressively push products with LED backlights, we anticipate high demand for our LED BLUs, TVs and monitors. As we continue to streamline our operations, we are optimistic that our financial performance will further improve in the fourth quarter of 2009 and into 2010,” added Mr. Song.

Highlights for the three months Ended September 30, 2009

Net revenue totaled approximately $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a slight decline of 1.1%, compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. On a sequential basis revenue increased 31.8% from $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 as a result of economic recovery driving overall market demand.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $0.9 million, or 7.0% of net sales, compared with gross profit of $0.9 million, or 6.5% of net sales, for the same period of 2008. The increase in gross margin was largely attributable to the Company’s ability to control and efficiently manage labor costs. Labor costs accounted for 7% of total net revenue for the third quarter of 2009, compared with 12% for the same period in 2008. On a sequential basis, gross margin increased 3.1 percentage points during the third quarter from 3.9% in the second quarter of 2009. During the quarter, the Company recorded a net inventory provision of $412,000, or 3.3% of the cost of sales.

Operating expenses totaled approximately $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, up 3.3% from $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. As a percentage of net revenue, third-quarter 2009 total operating expenses amounted to 16.2%, compared to third-quarter 2008 operating expenses at 15.6% of net revenue. This was largely attributable to increase in selling and R&D expenses which outpaced the decline in general and administrative expenses.

Third-quarter selling expenses increased by 48% year over year to $0.7 million due to product promotions and new market development. In support of new product initiatives, research and development expenses increased by approximately 41% to $0.5 million. General and administrative expenses declined 23% year over year to $1.0 million as a result of increased cost control and efficiency measures employed by management.

The Company's net loss attributable to common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $1.2 million, down from net loss attributable to common shares of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

The loss per basic and diluted share was ($0.06) for the three months ended September 30, 2009, unchanged from loss per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Excluding non-cash items, net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 on a non-GAAP basis would have been $0.5 million, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share. Excluding non-cash items, net loss for the third quarter of 2008 on a non-GAAP basis would have been $0.5 million, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share. Please see the reconciliation table below.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2009, Diguang had $9.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $4.3 million in restricted cash and approximately $4.9 million in working capital. As of September 30, 2009, shareholders' equity was $20.7 million.

Recent Events

On October 15, 2009, Diguang announced that the Company will hold its annual meeting of stockholders on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 in Shenzhen for stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 9, 2009.

On October 28, 2009, Diguang announced in a press release that the Company will participate in the upcoming Hong Kong International Lighting Fair from October 27-30, 2009 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

On November 13, 2009, Diguang announced that the Company will participate in the upcoming China Hi-Tech Fair from November 16-21, 2009 at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center.

Business Outlook

Diguang maintains a positive industry outlook, and anticipates the strongest growth drivers over the next two years to be LED TVs, and general lighting products. In addition to strong marketing campaigns by manufacturers, the Chinese government is promoting these energy efficient applications. According to research from Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofA ML), worldwide shipments of LED TVs are expect to grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 200% over the next two years, reaching 44 million units in 2011. In the same report, BofA ML notes that the worldwide market penetration of general LED lighting is expected to grow from its current level of 4% to more than 10% by 2010 or 2011.

Manufacturers continue to transition to mid and large sized LED products from CCFL due to their energy efficient and environmentally friendly characteristics. As a result, Diguang anticipates a significant increase in sales orders for large sized LED BLUs and while sales small and mid sized LED BLUs will remain stable. To support future market expansion and demand growth, Diguang plans to break ground at its new facility in Shenzhen by the end of 2009 and commence production in the third quarter of 2010.

“We are excited about the growing adoption of LEDs in LCD TVs and notebooks. In particular, large sized LED TVs offer the most growth potential as all of the major TV manufacturers have now introduced LED TVs, and the price gap between LED and LCD TVs of similar size has narrowed from 60% in the first half of 2009 to 8%,” commented Mr. Song. ‘We are already supplying our 32’’ LED BLUs and plan to develop 42’’ and 52’’ in 2010. We are confident that our years of experience, technological expertise, and established industry relationships provide us a strong competitive advantage to effectively capitalize on the growing market opportunity.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Diguang’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Diguang is providing certain income statement information that is not calculated according to GAAP, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share. Diguang believes that its non-GAAP disclosures are useful in evaluating its operating results as this information supplies the user with another view of the matching of costs and expenses by excluding the impact of non-cash expenses such as depreciation, share based compensation, inventory provisions, loss on the disposal of assets and deferred tax assets. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 is included above. The non-GAAP information presented is supplemental and is not purported to be a substitute for information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
