"We are pleased to report our first profitable quarter since Diguang was first impacted by the global economic crisis in the second half of 2008," said Mr. Song Yi, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Diguang. "During the second quarter, we maintained our focus on domestic sales, which grew in excess of 100%. Growth in sales of our LED products, including LED backlights, LED LCMs, LED general lighting products and LED monitors, continued to represent a majority of our total sales. Meanwhile, we witnessed strong momentum in our CCFL business, as our Wuhan facility saw an increase in OEM orders for large size CCFL backlights from our major customers in Taiwan. We successfully added new high-profile customers, including TCL and Skyworth, to supply China's two largest TV manufactures with LED backlights and LED TVs."
Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
Net revenue was $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 67.0% from $10.2 million for the comparable period in 2009. This was due to the improved market demand for the Company's traditional and
newly-developed backlight products along with continued economic recovery from the global financial crisis which adversely affected sales in the previous year. Sales of LED products, including LED backlights, LED liquid crystal modules (LCM), LED general lights and liquid crystal displays (LCD), amounted to $9.8 million, or 58% of total sales revenue, while sales of CCFL products, including CCFL backlights and CCFL LCMs were $6.8 million, or 40% of total sales revenue. The remainder came from miscellaneous sales. Sales of LED backlights grew 33.2% to $7.4 million, while sales of CCFL backlights increased 162.8% to $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. Sales of LCM grew 25.9% to $1.9 million, and the Company generated additional revenue of $0.6 million from LCD LED monitors compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2009, when it commenced mass production of this product. The Company expects further sales growth of LCD LED monitors. Sales of LED general lighting products declined due to aggressive competition. However, management is still confident about the prospect of the LED general lighting segment in the next few years.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $1.5 million, or 9.0% of net revenue, compared to $0.4 million, or 3.9% of net revenue, for the same period of 2009. The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of the contribution from LED products, which had a gross margin of 11% compared to 5% in the second quarter of 2009. However, this was partially offset by the significant increase in OEM sales of lower margin, large size CCFL products during the quarter.
Operating expenses totaled approximately $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2010, down 39.5% from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2010 amounted to 7.8% of net revenue, compared to 21.5% in the second quarter of 2009. Selling expenses rose 25.0%, primarily due to increased commissions and transportation expenses associated with increased sales. The Company's net research and development costs were a negative $0.2 million, due to a government subsidy of $0.5 million that was recorded following the completion of a display project for the Guangdong Department of Information Industry during the quarter. As the actual funding for this project was received in 2008, this was recorded as a non-cash item. General and administrative expenses were $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $1.1 million in the same period in 2009.
Interest expense was $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2010, up from $72,062 in the same period of 2009 as the Company utilized additional bank loans to support its working capital needs.
The Company's net income attributable to common shares during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.1 million, improved from net loss of $1.8 million attributable to common shares for the same period in 2009. Earnings per basic and diluted share were $0.01 for the second quarter of 2010, improved from losses per basic and diluted share of ($0.08) for the same period of 2009.
Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP), which excludes non-cash items (including non-controlling interest, depreciation, inventory provision, loss on disposal of assets and share-based compensation), for the second quarter of 2010 would have been $47,156, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share. Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2009 would have been $1.3 million, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share. Please see the reconciliation table below.
Six Months Results Ended June 30, 2010
Total revenue for the first six months of 2010 was $29.5 million, up 82.2% from the first six months of 2009. Gross profit for the first six months of 2010 was $3.2 million, a significant increase of 217.6% from gross profit of $1.0 million in the comparable period a year ago. Gross margin was 11.0% for the first six months of 2010, up from 6.3% in the same period of 2009. The Company recorded an operating loss of $0.3 million, compared with an operating loss of $3.2 million in the first six months of 2009. Net loss attributable to common shares for the first six months of 2010 was $0.5 million, compared with a loss of $3.0 million in the first six months of 2009. Basic and diluted loss per share were ($0.02) for the first six months of 2010 compared to ($0.14) in the first six months of 2009. Excluding non-cash items, net income for the first half year of 2010 on a non-GAAP basis would have been $30,857, or $0.00 per share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $2.0 million, or ($0.09) per share a year ago.

Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2010, Diguang had $8.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.0 million in restricted cash. Working capital increased significantly to approximately $6.7 million compared to $2.8 million at the end of 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $7.4 million in short-term bank loans and $8.1 million in long-term bank loans. Shareholders' equity was $19.8 million as of June 30, 2010. Cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million, improved from $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and a lower net loss, offset by an increase in accounts receivable related to increased sales to domestic customers.
Business Outlook
Diguang continues to anticipate strong growth driven by increased demand for its LED TVs and monitors and LED backlights. The Company recently began small scale production of its 32" and 42" ultra-thin LED backlights and TVs, and commenced large-scale production of 19" LED TV and 24" LED backlights for TCL, one of the largest TV manufacturers in China.
Diguang's new production facility in Shenzhen is proceeding on schedule. The new facility, which is designed to manufacture large-size LED backlights and LED TVs, can accommodate 15 production lines of LED backlights used in LED TVs, with annual capacity of over 6 million units, as well as 12 integrated production lines of LED TVs (including LED monitors) and LED backlights, with annual capacity of over 4 million units of LED TVs. The Company still expects to complete construction in the fourth quarter of 2010 and will begin production in the first quarter of 2011. The Company plans to increase production lines on a gradual basis according to market demand.
"We remain optimistic about the future of the LED market, especially for LED TVs and monitors. We believe our new contracts with China's two largest TV manufacturers have the potential to serve as an inflection point for our business to return to sustainable growth and profitability," commented Mr. Song. "Given our shift toward higher margin product mix and our efforts to aggressively cut costs, we are confident in our ability to maintain our current level of gross margin. We reaffirm our revenue guidance of $60 million to $80 million for the fiscal year 2010."
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's financial results prepared based on U.S. GAAP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 include non-cash expenses such as depreciation, share based compensation, bad debt allowance, inventory provisions, loss on the disposal of assets, research and development costs offset by funding advanced and deferred tax assets. To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of these items in this release, including adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company's management believes that, in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures (i) improve transparency for investors, (ii) assist investors in their assessment of the Company's operating performance, (iii) facilitate comparison to the Company's historical performance, (iv) ensure that these measures are fully understood in light of how the Company evaluates its operating results, (v) properly define the metrics used and confirm their calculation. The additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for items appearing on the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S GAAP. Rather, the non-GAAP measures should be used as supplement to U.S. GAAP results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Company. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides may also differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures. Our management believes that these adjusted financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude
non-cash expenses that management excludes when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company's business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, and performance measurement, as these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. As a result, the provision of these adjusted measures allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by the Company's management. Moreover, management believes that these adjusted measures reflect the essential operating activities of the Company. Adjusted measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under the U.S. GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the adjusted financial measure. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded. A reconciliation of each adjusted measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP financial measures appears in the table above.
