PART I
 
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
 
Overview
 
The Company specializes in the design, production and distribution of Light Emitting Diode, or “LED”, and Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp, or “CCFL”, backlights for various Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Displays, or “TFT-LCD”, and Super-Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Display, or “STN-LCD”, Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Display, or “TN-LCD”, and Mono LCDs as well as the LED lighting, LED displays and Notebook, which are widely developed in production, taking together, these applications are referred to as “LCD” applications. Those applications not only include color displays for cell phones, car televisions and navigation systems, digital cameras, televisions, computer displays, camcorders, PDAs and DVDs, CD and MP3/MP4 players, appliance display and the like, but also include indoor and outdoor lighting, home and office use with energy saving and environmental protections.

The Company conducts that business principally through the operations of Shenzhen Diguang Electronics, based in Shenzhen, thereafter “Diguang Electronics”, along with its main backlight manufacturing operation in Dongguan, Guangdong Province of China, Dihao (Yangzhou) Co., Ltd., based in Yangzhou, thereafter “Dihao”, and Wuhan Diguang Electronics Co., Ltd, based in Wuhan, thereafter “Wuhan Diguang”. As of December 31, 2009, Diguang Electronics has approximately 1,512 full-time employees, which changes from time to time as needed; Diguang Electronics is headquartered in Shenzhen, China, with its backlight manufacturing operations in Dongguan, China. As of December 31, 2009, Dihao has approximately 179 full-time employees, which changes from time to time as needed. Dihao is a subsidiary of North Diamond, 65% of which was acquired by the Company on January 3, 2007. Wuhan Diguang was established as in-house facilities mainly for a Taiwan-based customer with the capacity to provide large inches TFT-LCD and it has approximately 221 employees as of December 31, 2009.

Dongguan Diguang Electronics Science and Technology Co., Ltd., thereafter Dongguan Diguang S&T”, was established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China in 2004 as the production base of Diguang Electronics. Dongguan Diguang completed its construction of Plant No. 1 and Dormitory Nos. 1 and 2 in 2005 , which were subsequently rented to Diguang Electronics in 2005. The construction of Plant No. 3 and Dormitory No. 3 was completed in 2007 and the total acreage of the property is 67,176 m 2 . Dongguan Diguang has become a new manufacturing base for backlight, LED lighting R&D and production after it was acquired on December 30, 2007 and the expended space of the plant provides a vast opportunity to enlarge the production capacity for business expansion. Dongguan Diguang S&T started its own manufacturing activities since the second half year of 2008. As of December 31 2009, Dongguan Diguang has approximately 64 full-time employees .

Well Planner is involved in the import of raw materials into China and export of finished products from China. Well Planner currently has no fixed assets.
 
Diguang Technology is directly involved with the international buying of raw materials and selling of backlight products for Diguang Electronics. Diguang Technology purchases raw materials from international suppliers and acts as an international sales group for both Diguang Electronics and Well Planner. Diguang Technology has no fixed assets.

In 2009, the Company generated revenues of $44.1 million, net loss of $7.2 million and cash flow used by operations of $9.1 million. The Company has been profitable and cash flow positive each year since 1999 to 2006, and 2007 to 2009 are the years it has recorded a loss.

The Company’s Industry 

The backlight industry is closely associated with the consumer electronics industry. LCDs are used to present data and images in a wide variety of applications, ranging from cell phones to car navigation and entertainment systems to the larger displays used in flat panel televisions and computer monitors, including laptop computer screens.

LCD technology allows for a higher level of light output than other types of panel displays. It has become the mainstream technology in today’s display market with demand for such technology increasing by 10 to 15 percent per year. According to Displaybank, a reputable Korean based research firm, the global LCD display market was approximately $48.5 billion in 2004, and it is expected to grow to approximately $94 billion by 2010. This significant growth projection is being driven by an increase in the breadth of applications utilizing LCDs to take advantage of their increased brightness and clarity, the development of new LCD-related technologies and the growing use of LCDs in larger screen applications, e.g. television sets.

Generally, companies that manufacture backlights supply them as a component to other parties, which incorporate them into a finished display unit, which consists of a film, such as a thin film transistor, that bears the image and the case or shell that is used to hold the backlight and film in place. As a result, the Company’s customers are typically the assemblers of the LCD modules, although the Company has some customers who are the final assemblers of the products that are sold to consumers.

Until recently, the backlight industry was centered in Japan and Korea, where the majority of modules used in the production of LCD displays, such as Samsung and Toshiba, are located. Based on certain cost advantages, Taiwan has become a leading producer of backlights as well.

More recently, a large number of backlight manufacturers, both independent ones and operations associated with Japanese and Korean companies have begun production in the PRC, including Diguang. This shift of backlight production to the PRC is based in large measure on the comparability of its technical workforce and facilities to those of the traditional Asian producers, together with significant labor cost advantages. Those factors have, to some extent, pulled the assembly of display units into the PRC as well, even though a relatively small amount of the modules used to make LCD displays are currently produced in the PRC.
 
The Company considers its industry to be one that is expanding, as electronics are incorporated into a growing number of products and devices that benefit from the display of information and images. The Company has benefited from certain cost and strategic advantages relative to its competitors and those advantages have enabled it to maintain certain margins on the Company’s products up to this point. However, as a growing percentage of backlight production shifts to the PRC from higher-cost countries, price competition will increase, and the Company’s ability to preserve margins will depend on its continuing to improve its product quality, production efficiency and customer services relative to its competitors.

Online was organized under the laws of Nevada in 2000 as Online Processing, Inc.
 
On January 10, 2006, Online entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the stock of Diguang Holdings in exchange for 18,250,000 shares of Online common stock. In connection with the Share Exchange, Online’s name was changed to Diguang. References to “we”, “us” and “our” in this section refer to Diguang, formerly known as Online. The total outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the Share Exchange were 1,943,000. Taking into account the shares issued in the Share Exchange and the private placement of $12 million described below, the “Offering”, the Company now has 22,593,000 shares of common stock issued and 22,072,000 shares outstanding.

On March 17, 2006, Online issued 2.4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for the gross proceeds of $12 million and issued another 18,250,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% equity interest in Diguang Holdings, making Diguang Holdings a wholly-owned subsidiary of Online.
 
The Share Exchange is regarded as a reverse merger, since Diguang Holdings’ former shareholders obtained control of the Company. As a result, Diguang Holdings is considered to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Also as a result of the Share Exchange, the Company ceased being a shell company.

The Company now owns 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Diguang Holdings, which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 27, 2004 to hold the equity interest in the following entities:

 
·
 Shenzhen Diguang Electronics Co., Ltd., a China based entity, or “Diguang Electronics”;

 
·
 Well Planner Limited, a Hong Kong based entity, or “Well Planner”; and

 
·
 Diguang Science and Technology (HK) Limited, a British Virgin Islands based entity, or “Diguang Technology”.

These three companies, Diguang Electronics, Well Planner and Diguang Technology, comprise all of Diguang’ subsidiaries, at that time.
 
The address of the Company’s executive and administrative offices is 23rd Floor, Building A, Galaxy Century, No. 3069, Caitian Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, the PRC. The Company’s telephone number is 86-755-2655-3152.

As of March 17, 2006, Diguang Holdings was 100% owned by Sino Olympics, a British Virgin Island company that is owned by Yi Song and Hong Song, two of the Company’s directors and officers as of the close of the Share Exchange. On March 17, 2006, in a private transaction completed just prior to the Share Exchange, five accredited investors acquired a total of 876,941, 6.85%, of Diguang Holding’s shares from Sino Olympics for $5,000,000, approximately $5.70 per share. Those five shareholders and Sino Olympics were the only shareholders of Diguang Holdings at the date of the Share Exchange.

Diguang Electronics is the principal operating subsidiary of Diguang. Diguang Electronics was established as an equity joint venture in Shenzhen under the laws of China on January 9, 1996 with original registered capital of RMB1,380,000, approximately $170,160 at an exchange rate of 8.11 RMB per dollar, and an operating life of 20 years starting on that date. Yi Song and Hong Song became the owner of this equity joint venture on August 14, 2003. On September 8, 2003, the Board of Diguang Electronics resolved to increase its registered capital to RMB5 million by transferring retained earnings into capital and by infusing capital of $142,000 from Well Planner, which accounted for 23.4% of the above RMB5 million, and thereby causing Well Planner to became a new investor in this equity joint venture. Diguang Electronics’ management increased the registered capital to RMB5 million, approximately $616,000, by transferring retained earnings into capital. Well Planner invested $142,000 of the approximately $616,000, as a result of acquiring a 23.4% interest in this equity joint venture.

Diguang Electronics is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diguang. On October 8, 2005, Diguang Electronics converted its retained earnings of RMB10 million, equivalent $1,236,445, into the registered capital resulting in a total registered capital amount of RMB15 million, equivalent $1,840,845, which was approved by the relevant government agency and verified by a CPA firm. On April 30, 2006, Diguang Electronics increased its registered capital from RMB15 million to RMB85 million and the total investment from RMB15 million to RMB150 million, which was also approved by the relevant government agency.

Diguang Electronics designs, develops and manufactures LED and CCFL backlight units. These backlight units, as more fully described in the Narrative Description of Business Section, are essential components used in illuminating display panels such as TFT-LCD and color STN-LCD panels. These display panels are used in products such as mobile phones, PDAs, digital cameras, computers or television displays and other household and industrial electronic devices. Diguang Electronics’ customers are located in both China and overseas. Diguang Electronics’ address is 23rd Floor, Building A, Galaxy Century, No. 3069, Caitian Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, the PRC.

Well Planner was established under the laws of Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region on April 20, 2001. Originally owned directly by Yi Song and Hong Song, it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diguang. Well Planner’s principal business is custom forwarding of Diguang Electronics’ products, which assists Diguang Electronics in meeting export and import requirements that apply to the international sale of its products and the importation into China of raw materials that Diguang Electronics uses in its manufacturing operations. Well Planner performs these services under a service agreement that provides for a service fee of not less than 2% of the goods Well Planner has handled for Diguang Electronics. Well Planner mainly sells to Diguang Technology and has smaller sales to third-party customers since 2008. Well Planner’s address is 10/F, 579 Nathan Road, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR.
 
Diguang Technology was established under the laws of British Virgin Islands on August 28, 2003. Originally owned directly by Yi Song and Hong Song, it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diguang. The business predecessor of Diguang Technology was an unlimited liability company named Diguang Electronics (Hong Kong) Co., which was established under Hong Kong laws on October 12, 1998, also owned directly by Yi Song and Hong Song. Diguang Electronics (HK) was engaged in the business of distributing Diguang Electronics’ products and purchasing electronic components and raw materials for Diguang Electronics’ operations in international markets. On October 31, 2003, all of the substantial business operations of Diguang Electronics (HK) were transferred to Cheer Top Capital Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands that was acquired by the Songs for the purpose of basing those operations in the British Virgin Islands. In June 2004 the name was changed to Diguang Science and Technology (HK) Limited. After businesses were transferred, a dividend of approximately $2.65 million was distributed. Diguang Technology’s address is Commonwealth Trust Limited, Drake Chambers, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
 
Under a reorganization agreement entered on June 15, 2005, the owners of Diguang’s subsidiaries transferred their collective 100% equity interest in those three entities to Diguang Holdings in exchange for a 100% equity interest in Diguang Holdings. Being a receiving entity under common control, Diguang Holdings recorded all the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the three respective entities at the date of transfer under the guidance of SFAS No. 141, Appendix D. The effective date for this reorganization was June 30, 2005. As a result of the reorganization described in the first sentence of this paragraph, Diguang Holdings became the 100% owner of Diguang’s subsidiaries, and the consolidated financial statements of Diguang Holdings and Diguang Holdings’ subsidiaries became Diguang Holdings’ historical financial statements.

The Company has been conducting operations in only one business segment; hence, there is only a segment disclosure which is based on geographical locations of the customers.

Historically, the capital expenditures have included the purchase of production equipment, office equipment and leasehold improvements, all within the PRC. In connection with the expansion and ramp-up of the Company’s PRC production capability and capacity, Diguang incurred capital expenditures of $6.17 million, $2.61 million and $0.16 million in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The Company depreciates its production equipment and office equipment on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five to ten years, and land usage right and plant and buildings over 20 to 50 years.

The Company plans to construct a manufacturing facility for production of large size LED products with a total capital commitment of $10.5 million. Please refer to Note 4 ─ Plant, Property and Equipment to Financial Statements.

Additional capital expenditures are being considered and may be made if the demand for the Company’s products justifies doing so. 
 
Description of the Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement
 
The transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement dated as of March 17, 2006 to acquire Diguang Holdings, a British Virgin Islands company with operating subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands, closed on March 17, 2006. As a result, Diguang Holdings became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. The Company had previously changed its name from Online Processing, Inc. to Diguang International Development Co., Ltd., “Diguang” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”. Pursuant to the name change, the Company has a new OTCBB trading symbol, DGNG, which it disclosed in a Form 8-KA filed on March 6, 2006.

On March 17, 2006, the Company accepted subscriptions from 94 accredited investors to acquire 2,400,000 shares of its common stock through a private offering at a per share price of $5.00, generating gross proceeds of $12,000,000. This private equity financing was made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for issuances not involving a public offering and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The parties modified the Share Exchange Agreement to provide for the assumption of an option plan adopted by Diguang Holdings prior to the closing of the Share Exchange. No option issued by the Company has been exercised and total outstanding options amounted to 1,201,917 shares as of December 31, 2009. As the limit on the total options to be issued remains at 1,500,000 shares, under the assumed plan approximately 298,083 shares remain available for future issuances.

In the Share Exchange, the Company acquired all of Diguang Holdings’ issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for 18,250,000 shares of its common stock. Prior to that, the Company effected a 3 for 5 reverse stock split and 4,967,940 shares of the Company’s stock standing in the name of Terri Wonderly were cancelled. As a result of all of the foregoing and the issuance of 2,400,000 shares in the Offering, the Company now has 22,593,000 shares of common stock issued.
 
In accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company’s shareholders will be granted certain incentive shares if we, post reverse merger, meet certain financial performance criteria. The incentive shares and financial performance criteria are as follows:

(1) After-tax profit targets would be the income from operation, less taxes paid or payable with regard to such income, excluding the effect on income from operations, if any, resulting from issuance of incentive shares in any year. By way of example, if the incentive shares for 2006 are earned and issued in 2007 with an aggregate value of $7 million, and as a result the income from operations for 2007 is reduced by $7 million, the determination of whether the after-tax profit targets are hit for 2007 will be made without deducting the $7 million from income from operations. That is, if income from operations was $20 million after the charge for issuance of the incentive shares, for purpose of issuance of incentive shares for 2007, income from operations will be deemed to be $27 million, and whether the target is hit will be determined by deducting from $27 million the amount of taxes that would have been paid or payable had income from operations actually been $27 million.

The Company accounts for the transactions of issuing these incentive shares based on the fair value of grant date in accordance with SFAS 123R. Under SFAS 123R, the grant date was effective March 17, 2006. Accordingly, the compensation expense has been calculated, but will be recorded over the period, in which the shareholders of Diguang can earn any of the amounts each year, only if meeting the prescribed target in the Share Exchange Agreement is probable.
 
The Company did not meet the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 after-tax profit target. No incentive shares have been issued to date.

Financial Information about Geographic Areas

Total revenues by category of activity and geographic market

The Company currently operates mainly in backlight production with portions of new products of LED monitor, LED general lighting, and LED TV sets assembly. Since the Company’s major production base is in China, and since export revenue and net income in overseas entities accounted for a significant portion of total consolidated revenue and net income, management believes that the following table presents useful information for measuring business performance, financing needs, and preparing the Company’s corporate budget, among other things.

Financial Information about Geographic Areas

During 2007, 2008 and 2009 the Company derived $7,297,447, $15,002,027 and $17,785,350 respectively, of its revenues from customers in China, excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan, the domicile of the Company’s four principal operating subsidiaries, Diguang Electronics, Dihao, Wuhan Diguang and Dongguan Diguang .

Revenues from customers outside of China for 2007, 2008 and 2009 totaled $38,611,809, $40,428,654 and $26,289,899 respectively. The Company attributes sales to individual foreign countries based on the destination to which it ships the products.

There are certain risks associated with the concentration of the Company’s operations in China. These include currency risks and political risks. See Risk Factors below . Until recently, the Chinese government pegged its currency, the renminbi (RMB) to the United States dollar, adjusting the relative value only slightly and on infrequent occasion. Many people viewed this practice as leading to a substantial undervaluation of the RMB relative to the dollar and other major currencies, providing China with a competitive advantage in international trade. China now allows the RMB to float to a limited degree against a basket of major international currencies, including the dollar, the Euro and the Japanese yen. This change in policy produced a cumulative revaluation of the RMB of about 17.7% so far.

This 17.7% increase in the value of the RMB has produced certain effect on the Company’s business or its financial performance. If the Chinese government allows significant further revaluations of the RMB in the near future, it could have adverse consequences on the Company’s ability to compete internationally. In particular, such a revaluation would make the Company’s products relatively more expensive in markets outside of China than before the revaluation, representing about 60% of the Company’s product revenues, including those from Hong Kong, which could slow or eliminate the Company’s anticipated growth.

Offsetting this risk to some degree is the fact that if further revaluation of the RMB does occur, it will result in an increase to the Company’s profits when stated in dollar terms for a given level of profit in RMB. It is difficult to tell which of these effects, if either will be more significant, and therefore the Company cannot know whether the revaluation of the RMB would have an overall negative or positive effect on the value of its business.

From a political standpoint, only recently has China moved away from a centrally planned economy toward a market driven economy. It is not possible to predict how rapidly the move to a market economy will continue, or if it will continue at all or even reverse. Similarly, the government has recently been encouraging the development and growth of privately owned enterprises. Both of those political trends have benefited the Company’s expansion. Should the government modify or reverse those policies, it could prove detrimental to us.

Additionally, China has historically been indifferent to the enforcement of intellectual property rights, on which the Company currently depends and expects to continue to depend to a significant degree. As a condition to its admission to the World Trade Organization, China committed to improve the enforcement of intellectual property rights, and there is evidence to show that it has done so, including increased prosecutions of intellectual property pirates. Should China reverse that policy, it could be detrimental to the Company’s business prospects due to its Chinese competitors’ infringement on the Company’s intellectual property.

It is not yet clear to the Company whether its three-year geographic financial information is indicative of its current or future operations, particularly with regard to the Company’s sources of revenues. Several factors make it difficult to tell whether the Company will derive more or less of its revenues from countries other than China going forward. This includes the Company’s rapid growth, the anticipated rapid rate of growth of businesses in China that make products incorporating the Company’s backlight products and its development of larger backlights. However, the Company does not anticipate a material effect on its business if a shift in the geographic distribution of its sales occurs.

Narrative Description of Business

Prior to entering into the memorandum of understanding with Diguang Holdings, the Company had not had any operations since March 2003. As a result of the Share Exchange, the operations of Diguang Holdings’ subsidiaries became the Company’s principal operations, and therefore all of the information provided below relates to the operations of Diguang Holdings’ subsidiaries.

The Company specializes in the design, production and distribution of small to medium-sized Light Emitting Diode and Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights for various Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Displays, or “TFT-LCD”, and Super-Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Display, or “STN-LCD”, Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Display, or “TN-LCD”, and Mono LCDs as well as the LED lighting, LED displays and Notebook, which are widely developing in the production, taken together, these applications are referred to as “LCD” applications. Those applications not only include color displays for cell phones, car televisions and navigation systems, digital cameras, televisions, computer displays, camcorders, PDAs and DVDs, CD and MP3/MP4 players, appliance displays and the like, but also include the indoor and outdoor lighting, the home and office use with the energy saving and environmental protections. The Company conducts that business principally through the operations of Diguang Electronics, Dihao, and Wuhan Diguang.

LCDs consist of a top layer that uses electronic impulses, filters and liquid crystal molecules to create an image, often in color. However, the LCD component itself generates relatively little in the way of luminance or light output, making the image on the screen impractical to use on its own under most conditions. A second component to these displays is backlights, which provide the luminance that enables viewers to see a distinct image on the screen in a wide variety of lighting conditions. In that sense, they operate much in the same way the bulb in a film projector or a slide projector does, converting the dark image on the film to a bright image that can be readily viewed.

The Company achieved some success in expanding its customer base and its geographic markets during 2009. Sales to the Company’s largest customer generated 11% of its revenues for 2009 compared with 20% in 2008. Sales to the Company’s three largest customers decreased to 22% of 2009 revenue compared to 42% in 2008. The Company’s top three customers in 2009 are Hannstar-TPV Display (Wuhan) Corp., Shinco Group and Action Asia (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. The Company is continuing its efforts to diversify and broaden its customer base to become less reliant on these customers, including the development of new products, such as backlights for flat panel televisions.

Diguang Electronics is one of the first companies in China to use patented light guide panel technology by mould injection method to produce backlight units. The Company has received various awards and accolades, including the Shenzhen Science and Technology Progress Award in 2003. Additionally, Diguang’s products, namely CCFL backlights and white LED backlights, were included in the National Important New Products Project, and the Company received the “Important New Products” certificate in 2003.

Diguang Electronics caters to the global demand for backlight products on the basis of quality, cost and order fulfillment time. Diguang Electronics’ focus on product quality includes the use of quality materials obtained from selected international suppliers, and thorough quality control inspection of raw materials prior to use in production and finished products prior to shipment. Diguang Electronics also strives to offer its products at a lower cost than most competitors. This is made possible through Diguang Electronics’ skilled labor force with a relative lower labor cost level after the enactment and effectiveness of the new labor law in China on April 1, 2008. Existing economies of scale also contribute to keeping costs low. Diguang Electronics also has the ability to deliver its initial run of products within 15 to 30 days from the time an order is placed, while many of its competitors may require more time. This rapid fulfillment capability is possible because of Diguang Electronics’ large and skilled product development team, and it provides an important advantage to Diguang Electronics in this competitive market.

Diguang Electronics’ commitment to quality is evidenced by the fact that in 1999, Diguang Electronics received ISO9002 certification from Shenzhen Quality Certification Centre; in 2002 it received QS9000 certification from Moody International Certification, ISO9001 certification from the TUVCERT Certification Body in 2005, and the certification of ISO/TS16949 in 2006. These certifications signify that Diguang Electronics has established and adheres to high quality standards in the conduct of its product design and manufacturing operations.

As a full-service manufacturer of CCFL, LED backlights for LCDs Diguang Electronics works with its customers to design the proper backlight to meet the customers’ specifications for a particular product and application. Nearly all of Diguang Electronics’ products are customized in terms of customers’ specific applications. Diguang Electronics currently co-develops 30-50 new products with customers each month. Diguang Electronics has developed or co-developed more than 2,600 different products and over 2300 sets of molds for LED/CCFL backlights meeting different customer specifications to date and has put more than 2,000 LED/CCFL products meeting unique customer specifications into mass production. Diguang Electronics typically does not receive direct payments from customers to develop products, but includes such costs of developing products to meet customers’ specification in current period expenses and takes consideration of the costs in its pricing with the customers.
 
The Company’s sales are obtained either through its internal workforce, its subsidiaries of Well Planner and Diguang Technology, or through commissioned sales agents that represent the Company in locations outside of China.

Historically, the majority of the world’s backlight production was located in Japan and Korea, although due to low cost advantages and recent improvements in product quality, Taiwan and Mainland China have emerged as significant areas of backlight production. By conducting the Company’s business related to the design, production and distribution of backlights in China, principally through the operations of Diguang Electronics, the Company is able to take advantage of the low labor and other costs in China relative to other countries.

The Company’s business is subject to slight seasonal fluctuation. Many of the products that incorporate its backlights are popular household electronic consumer goods such as home entertainment equipment and cellular phones, which enjoy a higher rate of retail sales in the fourth calendar quarter compared with other times of the year. However, the varying lead times associated with those products and the inclusion of many product lines that are not seasonal in nature, such as home appliances and office equipment, limit the seasonal nature of the Company’s business. Overall, the Company does not consider its business to vary from quarter to quarter to the extent that would justify describing it as a seasonal business.

There are no practices in the Company’s industry that have a significant effect on working capital requirements. Most of the Company’s business is done on a relatively short cycle time, on average, less than a month from customer order to initial fulfillment and between 1 to 3 months for payment. The capital costs associated with product development are relatively small on an individual product basis, although the aggregate of such costs is meaningful given the large number of products that the Company develops on an ongoing basis. Molds meeting customers’ size specifications are needed to form the housings for the backlights, but these molds are not costly, and the Company has accumulated approximately 2,300 of them during its years of operation, many of which can be reused to make a new product with little or no adjustment. A significant aspect of the Company’s business model is providing a rapid response to customer orders, which helps to minimize the amount of inventory the Company must carry. The Company also does not need to carry large amounts of raw material inventories because raw materials have been readily available from a number of suppliers.

The principal raw materials used in a LED backlight consist of LED chips, or SMD, reflectors, brightness enhancing films, silica gels and plastics, PMMA or PC etc. Those materials are available from numerous suppliers, most of them based in Asia, such as Nanjing Longguang Electronics Co. Ltd., HI SPEED Company, Toryota, Nicha, Kimoto, Hong Kong Panac Company, Global Trading Company and Advanced OPTO Company, etc. The Company purchased its raw materials from over 20 suppliers in Asia and from two United States based companies, 3M and Cree. The Company follows a practice of obtaining each of its raw materials from multiple suppliers as a means of ensuring supply, protecting against fluctuations in price, whether producer or currency related, and making certain that the Company’s quality standards are consistently met.

Significant Recent Events

Credit facilities provided by banks

1.      On July 1, 2008, Diguang Electronics entered into a Facility Agreement, the “Facility Agreement”, with Shenzhen Ping An Bank Co. Ltd., “Ping An Bank”, as lender, pursuant to which, Ping An Bank would provide Diguang Electronics with bank loan facilities for up to RMB40,000,000, or $5,863,000.

The facilities under the Facility Agreement, the “Facilities”, consist of (i) a RMB30,000,000, or $4,397,000, term loan that was available until June 30, 2009 at a prevailing benchmark interest rate stipulated by the People’s Bank of China and (ii) a RMB10,000,000, or $1,466,000, bankers’ acceptance. The Facilities were expected to be used in connection with the purchase of raw materials relating to Diguang Electronics’ business and would mature on December 1, and 2, 2009 respectively.

To renew bank loans of RMB30 million with Shenzhen Ping’an Bank, Diguang Electronics repaid RMB30 million on December 1 and December 2, 2009 respectively when the loans fell due. Diguang Electronics received RMB10 million, equivalent to $1,465,008 as of December 31, 2009 from the Bank on December 25, 2009 and the remaining RMB20 million was received on January 6, 2010. The renewed bank loan will mature in one year. Pursuant to the renewed loan agreements, the plant in Dongguan Diguang S&T with net book value of $4,409,253 was put as pledge and the prevailing annual standard rate was 5.46% under the stipulation from the People's Bank of China.

The abovementioned RMB30 million loans were borrowed under the RMB30 million bank loan facilities provided by Shenzhen Ping’an Bank. Diguang Electronics also received pledged import financing loans from Shenzhen Ping’an Bank. The import financing loans were guaranteed by equivalent deposit of cash.

The Company borrowed bank loans of $2,194,175 and $2,159,475 for import financing purposes from Shenzhen Ping’an Bank on May 15, 2009 and June 12, 2009, respectively. The loans will mature in one year and have annual rates of 1.68% and 1.9425%. The proceeds of the above $4,353,650 loans were received in U.S. Dollars, and Diguang Electronics was required to repay the loans in RMB at fixed exchange rate of 6.8354 and 6.8336 between U.S. Dollar and RMB respectively when the loans mature. The impact of change in exchange rate on the loan is immaterial as of December 31, 2009. The loans were guaranteed by an equivalent cash deposit in local currency of RMB 29,631,994, with an annual deposit rate of 2.25%.

On January 12, 2010, Diguang Electronics received import financing loan of $2,996,989 from Shenzhen Ping’an Bank with annual interest of 2.31%, which will mature on January 12, 2011.

Research and Development

In addition to the Company’s product development work, taking existing, available technology and adapting it to the specific needs of a customer for a particular product, the Company engages in research and development, which involves developing new, proprietary techniques or products. The Company’s growth rate is attributable to a number of patents, especially in the area of light guides and other innovations that improve the quality, a combination of brightness, evenness, color of the light generated, and durability, of its products relative to other backlight manufacturers.

The Company is engaged in efforts to develop some technologies that reduce energy consumption and other environmental impacts of its devices. The innovations can be used for a variety of applications in screens of almost all sizes. Management believes that many of the Company’s new technologies will be patentable, and the Company expects to file for and maintain both Chinese and/or international patents where the value of the invention warrants the expense and effort of doing so.

The Company has spent $1,214,684, $1,610,329 and $3,049,703 for the years ended 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively on research and development efforts to improve existing products and processes and to develop new products, not including the expenses to develop particular backlight products utilizing existing technology to meet customer specifications for products.

The Company’s major manufacturing processes are “dry,” meaning that they do not involve significant quantities of solvents, plating solutions or other types of materials that lead to the generation of large amounts of hazardous wastes, process wastewater discharges or air pollutant emissions. The Company has moved into its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dongguan in 2005, and is now constructing a new manufacturing facilities in Guangming District of Shenzhen City . But environment-related costs are not expected to be a material portion of the costs of constructing that facility, given the nature of the Company’s processes.
 
Customers

The Company’s customer base consists of many large and medium sized companies, which include Hannstar-TPV Display (Wuhan) Corp., ALCO, HOT TRACKS, Transcend Optronics , LG Philips, Shinco, Action Asia( Shenzhen) Co Ltd., LG Philips, DLong Group, IZ Technology, GREE, Shanghai Tianma, Zhejiang Tianle Group, Konka Group, Arima Display Corporation etc In 2009, the Company’s largest customer by sales volume accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues. The Company’s top three customers accounted for approximately 22% of revenues and collectively. The Company’s top three customers included Hannstar-TPV Display (Wuhan) Corp., Shinco Group and Action Asia (Shenzhen) Co Ltd. As a result, the loss of one or more of the Company’s top customers or a significant decrease in the volume of business that the Company does with those customers would have a material adverse effect on its business. To help protect against that risk, the Company continually seeks to diversify its customer base, in particular by expanding its international sales efforts. The Company also expects to introduce new backlight technologies for a variety of applications that will help expand and diversify its customer base.

Due to the Company’s current modest utilization of its production capacity and its practice of rapid turnaround of customer orders, the Company does not maintain a large backlog of orders relative to its annual revenue figures. Also, because nearly all of the Company’s products are custom made to customer specifications, experience has shown that nearly the Company’s entire order backlog is firm; virtually all orders that are placed are completed and delivered.

The Company does not do any business directly with governments, although many of its customers may make products for sale to governments around the world.

Competition

The display backlight market is highly competitive. It has traditionally been centered in Japan and Korea, where the majority of LCDs and related components continue to be made. Due to cost advantages and an increase in product quality, Taiwan has recently emerged as a significant producer of backlights, and China is growing in importance as a source of backlights.

To management’s knowledge, there are no independently published industry statistics that can be used to measure the Company’s market share among China-based companies accurately. However, based on its general knowledge of the Chinese backlight industry, management believes that the Company is one of the largest and fastest growing manufacturers of backlight units in China.
 
Taking into consideration factors such as geographic market, product mix and customer base, the Company believes the following companies are its main competitors: Shian Yih Electronics Ind. Co. Ltd. (Taiwan), Wai Chi Electronics Ltd. (Hong Kong), Radiant Opto-Electronics Corporation (Taiwan) and K-Bridge Electronics Co. Ltd. (Taiwan) etc. Even though these competitors are based outside China, each has significant manufacturing operations in China. Due to the advancements that Taiwanese and Chinese producers have made within this industry, the Company’s main competitors are no longer Japanese or Korean producers.

As with most other products, competitive advantages in backlights derive from a favorable combination of price, quality and customer service. The Company believes that it is well-positioned to compete effectively in all three of those areas. The Company has moved into a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, which provides it with significant efficiencies and the space to increase its output from 100,000 small and medium units per day to 200,000-300,000 units per day, depending on size of products. In addition, China’s well-known labor cost advantages relative to Japan, Korea and Taiwan have enabled the Company to put price pressure on its foreign rivals, thereby helping the Company to gain market share while maintaining certain margins. The Company currently expects that growth to continue. However, as more of the world’s backlight productions shift to China, the Company’s comparative advantage of lower costs comparing to other Asian countries will diminish.
 
The Company’s quality enhancements include innovations in light guide technology with a corresponding increase in backlight life. The improved overall performance resulting from these enhancements is one of the reasons the Company has enjoyed a history of rapid growth. The Company believes, based on its familiarity with other products in the market, that it has a technological advantage relative to other producers. The Company expects that this existing technological advantage, combined with its anticipated development of additional patented technology, will continue to give it a competitive advantage.

Another important factor in the Company’s ability to compete is its relative short cycle time from the receipt of a customer’s order to the initial delivery of products to the customer. On average, this is a 15- to 30- day process for us, while many of the Company’s competitors take longer to reach the same result. The Company’s short cycle time is due to, among other things, its modern facilities and equipment, along with its large and skilled product development staff.

Intellectual Property

Diguang Electronics owns 28 current patents. The patent transfer agreement for seven unexpired Chinese is in the process of being drafted as the Company is discussing with Mr. Yi Song, the owner of the patents and Diguang’s Chairman and CEO, whether or not any consideration, either cash or stock or both, would be paid for the contemplated patents transfer. However, prior to the completed patent transfer, Yi Song by way of a written license allowed Diguang Electronics to use his backlight patents free of charge until the relevant patents have been transferred to Diguang Electronics. Two of these patents expire in March 2008 and October 2009, which are not significant to the Company’s operation, respectively, and the remaining six have expiration dates ranging from 2010 to 2013.

Almost all of the Company’s products incorporate technology from one or more of the above patents. As these patents expire, the technology that they represent will become available to other backlight manufacturers. The expiration of two patents in 2008 and 2009 did not have material adverse impact on the Company’s operation results. However, the pace of change in this field will generally mean that the technology represented by the expired patents is out-of-date. The Company’s efforts will remain directed toward the development of new patents for leading-edge technologies that will help the Company to maintain its technological advantage. The Company also intends to patent its new inventions both in China and internationally, and it continues to work closely with leading Chinese universities and research institutions in the development of such technology.

Management is not aware of any current or previous infringement of the existing patents. If any infringement occurs, management will vigorously prosecute actions to halt the infringement and recover damages if the value of the patent is judged at the time to be sufficient to justify that effort.

DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA
 
CHINESE LEGAL SYSTEM
 
The practical effect of the Chinese legal system on the Company’s business operations in China can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise Laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate articles and contracts to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are not qualitatively different from the general corporation laws of the several provinces. Similarly, the Chinese accounting laws mandate accounting practices, which are not consistent with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Chinese accounting laws require that an annual “statutory audit” be performed in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and that the books of account of Foreign Invested Enterprises be maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. Article 14 of the People’s Republic of China Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designated financial and tax authorities. Otherwise there is risk that its business license will be revoked.
 
Second, while the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than those in the United States, the Foreign Invested Enterprises and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises are Chinese registered companies which enjoy the same status as other Chinese registered companies in business dispute resolution. Because the terms of the Company’s various Articles of Association provide that all business disputes pertaining to Foreign Invested Enterprises will be resolved by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce in Stockholm, Sweden applying Chinese substantive law, the Chinese minority partner in the Company’s joint venture companies will not assume any advantageous position regarding such disputes. Any award rendered by this arbitration tribunal is, by the express terms of the various Articles of Association, enforceable in accordance with the “United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958).” Therefore, as a practical matter, although no assurances can be given, the Chinese legal infrastructure, while different from its United States counterpart, should not present any significant impediment to the operation of Foreign Invested Enterprises.

ECONOMIC REFORM ISSUES
 
Although the Chinese Government owns the majority of productive assets in China, in the past several years the Government has implemented economic reform measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, there is no assurance that:
 
·   The Company will be able to capitalize on economic reforms ;
   
·   The Chinese Government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;   
 
·   The economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;
 
·   Economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; and
 
·   Business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.
 
Negative impact on economic reform policies or nationalization could result in a total investment loss in the Company’s common stock.
 
Since 1979, the Chinese Government has reformed its economic systems. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and readjusted. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect the Company’s operations.
 
Over the last few years, China’s economy has registered a high growth rate. Recently, there have been indications that the rate of inflation has increased. In response, the Chinese Government recently has taken measures to curb the excessively expansive economy. These measures included implementation of a unitary and well-managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand for the exchange rates of Renminbi, restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, reduction of the purchasing capability of certain of its citizens, and centralization of the approval process for purchases of certain limited foreign products. These austerity measures alone may not succeed in slowing down the economy’s excessive expansion or control inflation, and may result in severe dislocations in the Chinese economy. The Chinese Government may adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of freezes or restraints on certain projects or markets.
 
To date reforms to China’s economic system have not adversely affected the Company’s operations and are not expected to adversely affect the Company’s operations in the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that reforms to China’s economic system will continue or that the Company will not be adversely affected by changes in China’s political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese Government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
 
The Company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by many risk factors. Because of these risk factors, actual results might differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, among others, the following:

Risks Related to the Company’s Business
 
Adverse trends in the electronics industry, such as an overall decline in price or a shift away from products that incorporate the Company’s backlights, may reduce the Company’s revenues and profitability.
 
The Company’s business depends on the continued vitality of the electronics industry, which is subject to rapid technological change, short product life cycles and profit margin pressures. In addition, the electronics industry historically has been cyclical and subject to significant downturns characterized by diminished product demand, accelerated erosion of average selling prices and production over-capacity. It is also characterized by sudden upswings in the cycle, which can lead to shortages of key components needed for the Company’s business, for which there is not always an alternative source. Economic conditions affecting the electronics industry in general or the Company’s major customers may adversely affect the Company’s operating results by reducing the level of business that they furnish to the Company or the price they are willing to pay for the Company’s products. If the Company’s customers’ products fail to gain widespread commercial acceptance, become obsolete or otherwise suffer from low sales volume, its revenues and profitability may stagnate or decline.

If OLED technology matures, it may lessen the demand for LCDs and LED/CCFL Backlights, which could reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.

Organic Light Emitting Diode technology is an alternative to traditional LED technology that is still in the development phase, with companies attempting to create an OLED solution for cell phones and other small size applications. This technology has the potential to supplant traditional LEDs in many applications, but it still faces many performance issues related to the life span, processing technology, restrictions of sizes, etc. and for many applications it is still cost prohibitive. If development of this technology overcomes those drawbacks, it will compete with existing LCD display technologies and may reduce the demand for LCDs and the backlights that the Company supplies to the makers of LCDs. The Company’s client base is currently diverse and involved with manufacturing products in a variety of different sizes and for many different applications. Due to the current diverse product base of the Company’s customers, a currently perceived growing demand for the Company’s backlights in medium and large size applications and enhancements in LCD technology, the Company believes that OLED technology will have little or no short term or medium-term effect on its levels of LCD backlight sales. However, if the OLED technology matures or the Company’s current beliefs or understandings materially change, it may lessen the demand for LCDs and related components, leading to a reduction of the Company’s revenues or profits or both.

A few customers and applications account for a significant portion of the Company’s sales, and the loss of any one of these customers may reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from a small number of customers. 22% of the total revenue was generated from top three customers in the year ended December 31, 2009. Roughly 11% of the total revenue comes from one largest customer. Under present conditions, the loss of any of these customers, or a significant reduction in the Company’s level of sales to any or all of them, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results.

The Company does not have long-term purchase commitments from its customers and may have to rely on customer forecasts in making production decisions, and any cancellation of purchase commitments or orders may result in the waste of raw materials or work in process associated with those orders, reducing both its revenues and profitability.

As a backlight manufacturer, the Company must provide increasingly rapid product turnaround. A variety of conditions, both specific to individual customers and generally affecting the demand for these products, may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders. Cancellations, reductions or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers would result in a material reduction in revenue. Those customer decisions could also result in excess and obsolete inventory and/or unabsorbed manufacturing capacity, which could reduce the Company’s profits or impair the Company’s cash flow. On occasion, customers require rapid increases in production, which can strain the Company’s resources, leading to a reduction in the Company’s margins as a result of the additional costs necessary to meet those demands.

The Company’s customers generally do not provide the Company with firm, long-term volume purchase commitments. In addition, industry trends over the past five years have led to dramatically shortened lead time on purchase orders, as rapid product cycles have become the norm. Although the Company sometimes enters into manufacturing contracts with its customers, these contracts principally clarify order lead time, inventory risk allocation and similar matters, rather than providing for firm, long-term commitments to purchase a specified volume of products at a fixed price. As a result, customers can generally cancel purchase commitments or reduce or delay orders at any time. The large percentage of the Company’s sales to customers in the electronics industry, which is subject to severe competitive pressure, rapid technological change and product obsolescence, increases the Company’s inventory and overhead risks, among others, as the Company must maintain inventories of raw materials, work in process and finished goods to meet customer delivery requirements, and those inventories may become obsolete if the anticipated customer demand does not materialize.

The Company also makes significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that it will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, facility requirements, personnel need, and other resource requirements, based upon its estimates of customer requirements. The short-term nature of the Company’s customers’ commitments and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for these products reduce the Company’s ability to estimate accurately the future requirements of those customers. Because many of the Company’s costs and operating expenses are fixed, a reduction in customer demand can reduce the Company’s gross margins and operating results. In order to transact business, the Company assesses the integrity and creditworthiness of its customers and suppliers and it may, based on this assessment, incur design and development costs that it expects to recoup over a number of orders produced for the customer. Such assessments are not always accurate and expose the Company to potential costs, including the write off of costs incurred and inventory obsolescence if the orders anticipated do not materialize. The Company may also occasionally place orders with suppliers based on a customer’s forecast or in anticipation of an order that is not realized. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may purchase quantities of supplies and materials greater than required by customer orders to secure more favorable pricing, delivery or credit terms. These purchases can expose the Company to losses from cancellation costs, inventory carrying costs or inventory obsolescence, and hence adversely affect the Company’s business and operating results.

Failure to optimize the Company’s manufacturing potential and cost structure could materially increase the Company’s overhead, causing a decline in the Company’s margins and profitability.

The Company strives to utilize the manufacturing capacity of its facilities fully but may not do so on a consistent basis. The Company’s factory utilization is dependent on its success in accurately forecasting demand, predicting volatility, timing volume sales to its customers, balancing its productive resources with product mix, and planning manufacturing services for new or other products that it intends to produce. Demand for contract manufacturing of these products may not be as high as the Company expects, and it may fail to realize the expected benefit from its investment in its manufacturing facilities. The Company’s profitability and operating results are also dependent upon a variety of other factors, including: utilization rates of manufacturing lines, downtime due to product changeover, impurities in raw materials causing shutdowns, and maintenance of contaminant-free operations. Failure to optimize the Company’s manufacturing potential and cost structure could materially and adversely affect its business and operating results.

Moreover, the Company’s cost structure is subject to fluctuations from inflationary pressures in China and other geographic regions where the Company conducts business. China's economy is currently growing. This growth may lead to continued pressure on wages and salaries that may exceed increases in productivity. In addition, these may not be compensated for and may be exacerbated by currency movements.

The Company faces intense competition, and many of its competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company has. Increased competition from these competitors may reduce the Company’s revenues or decrease its margins, either or both of which would reduce its profitability and could impair cash flow.

The Company operates in a competitive environment that is characterized by price deflation and technological change. The Company competes with major international and domestic companies. The Company’s major competitors include Shian Yih Electronics Ind. Co. Ltd., Wai Chi Electronics Ltd., Radiant Opto-Electronics Corporation, K-Bridge Electronics Co. Ltd., etc. and other similar companies primarily located in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong and China Mainland. The Company’s competitors may have greater market recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, purchasing, manufacturing, personnel and other resources than the Company does. Furthermore, some of the Company’s competitors have manufacturing and sales forces that are geographically diversified, allowing them to reduce transportation expenses, tariff costs and currency fluctuations for certain customers in markets where their facilities are located. Many competitors have production lines that allow them to produce more sophisticated and complex devices than the Company currently does and to offer a broader range of display devices to the Company’s target customers. Other emerging companies or companies in related industries may also increase their participation in the display and display module markets, which would intensify competition in the Company’s markets. The Company might lose some of its current or future business to these competitors or be forced to reduce its margins to retain or acquire that business, which could decrease its revenues or slow its future revenue growth and lead to a decline in profitability.

The Company depends on the market acceptance of its customers’ products, and significant slowdown in demand for those products would reduce its revenues and the Company’s profits.

Currently, the Company does not sell products to end users. Instead, the Company designs and manufactures various display product solutions that its customers incorporate into their products. As a result, the Company’s success depends almost entirely upon the widespread market acceptance of its customers’ products. Any significant slowdown in the demand for the Company’s products would likely reduce the Company’s revenues and profits. Therefore, the Company must identify industries that have significant growth potential and establish strong, long-term relationships with manufacturers in those industries. The Company’s failure to identify potential growth opportunities or establish these relationships would limit the Company’s revenue growth and profitability.

The Company extends credit to its customers and may not be able to collect all receivables due to it, and its inability to collect such receivables may have an adverse effect on its immediate and long-term liquidity.

The Company extends credit to its customers based on assessments of their financial circumstances, generally without requiring collateral. As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s accounts receivable, after deducting an allowance for bad debts, was $14 million. The Company’s overseas customers may be subject to economic cycles and conditions different from those of its domestic customers. The Company may also be unable to obtain satisfactory credit information or adequately secure the credit risk for some of these overseas customers. The extension of credit presents an exposure to risk of uncollected receivables. Additionally, the Company may not realize from receivables denominated in a foreign currency the anticipated amounts in United States dollar terms due to fluctuations in currency values. The Company’s inability to collect on these accounts may reduce on the Company’s immediate and long term liquidity.

The growth of the Company’s business depends on its ability to finance new products and services and these increased costs may reduce its cash flows and, if the products and services in which the Company has invested do not succeed, it would reduce the Company’s profitability.

The Company operates in the consumer electronics industry, which is characterized by rapid change. New technologies are appearing with increasing frequency to supplant existing technologies. In order to capture increased market share, manufacturers are adopting a shorter product life cycle from a cosmetic, if not functional, standpoint, but those cosmetic changes generally have a direct effect on the backlight products that the new designs incorporate. Technological advances, the introduction of new products, new designs and new manufacturing techniques could render the Company’s inventory obsolete, or it could shift demand into areas where the Company is not currently engaged. If the Company fails to adapt to those changing conditions in a timely and efficient manner, its revenues and profits would likely decline. To remain competitive, the Company must continue to incur significant costs in product development, equipment and facilities and to make capital investment. These costs may increase, resulting in greater fixed costs and operating expenses. As a result, the Company could be required to expend substantial funds for and commit significant resources to the following:

·
research and development activities on existing and potential product solutions;

·
additional engineering and other technical personnel;

·
advanced design, production and test equipment;

·
manufacturing services that meet changing customer needs;

·
technological changes in manufacturing processes; and

·
expansion of manufacturing capacity.

The Company’s future operating results will depend to a significant extent on the Company’s ability to continue to provide new product solutions and electronic manufacturing services that compare favorably on the basis of time to market, cost and performance with the design and manufacturing capabilities and competing third-party suppliers and technologies. The Company’s failure to increase its net sales sufficiently to offset these increased costs would reduce the Company’s profitability.

The Company is subject to lengthy sales cycles, and it could take longer than the Company anticipates before its sales and marketing efforts result in revenue.

The Company’s focus on developing a customer base that requires custom displays and devices means that it may take longer to develop strong customer relationships. Moreover, factors specific to certain industries have an impact on the Company’s sales cycles. In particular, those customers who operate in or supply to the medical and automotive industries require longer sales cycles, as qualification processes are longer and more rigorous, often requiring extensive field audits. These lengthy and challenging sales cycles may mean that it could take longer before the Company’s sales and marketing efforts result in revenue to us, if at all. As a result, the return on the time and effort invested in developing these opportunities may be deferred, or may not be realized at all, reducing the Company’s profitability.

Products the Company manufactures may contain design or manufacturing defects, which could result in reduced demand for its services and customer claims, causing it to sustain additional costs, loss of business reputation and legal liability.

The Company manufactures products to its customers’ requirements, which can be highly complex and may at times contain design or manufacturing errors or failures. Any defects in the products manufacture, whether caused by a design, manufacturing or component failure or error, may result in returns, claims, delayed shipments to customers or reduced or cancelled customer orders. If these defects occur, the Company will incur additional costs, and if in they occur in large quantity or frequently, it may sustain additional costs, loss of business reputation and legal liability.

The Company could become involved in intellectual property disputes, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of its management resources. Such disputes could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business by increasing its expenses and limiting the resources that the Company can devote to expansion of its business, even if the Company ultimately prevail.

Diguang Electronics currently possesses 38 Chinese patents, and the Company utilizes the additional patented technologies that are material to its business, which are in the process of being transferred to Diguang Electronics from Yi Song, referred to in its prior filings as Song Yi to conform to Chinese convention of last name first, its Chairman, CEO and the current owner of the patents. If the patents are not successfully transferred, the Company will not be able to use the same patents, which would hamper the Company’s production and this would have a material and adverse effect on its business and revenues. If a patent is infringed upon by a third party, the Company may need to devote significant time and financial resources to attempt to halt the infringement. The Company may not be successful in defending the patents involved in such a dispute. Similarly, while the Company does not knowingly infringe on patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by other parties; it may be required to spend a significant amount of time and financial resources to resolve any infringement claims against it. The Company may not be successful in defending its position or negotiating an alternative remedy. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of the Company’s management resources and could reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.

 
19

 

The Company’s customers may decide to design and/or manufacture the products that they currently purchase from the Company, which may reduce its revenues and profits, as it may not be able to compete successfully with these in-house developments.

The Company’s competitive position could also be adversely affected if one or more of its customers decide to design and/or manufacture their own backlights and display modules. The Company may not be able to compete successfully with these in-house developments by its customers, which would tend to favor their in-house supply over the Company, even in cases where price and quality may not be comparable.

The Company may develop new products that may not gain market acceptance, and its significant costs in designing and manufacturing services for new product solutions may not result in sufficient revenue to offset those costs or to produce profits.

The Company operates in an industry characterized by frequent and rapid technological advances, the introduction of new products and new design and manufacturing technologies. As a result, the Company may be required to expend funds and commit resources to research and development activities, possibly requiring additional engineering and other technical personnel; purchasing new design, production, and test equipment; and continually enhancing design and manufacturing processes and techniques. The Company may invest in equipment employing new production techniques for existing products and new equipment in support of new technologies that fail to generate adequate returns on the investment due to insufficient productivity, functionality or market acceptance of the products for which the equipment may be used. could, therefore, incur significant sums in design and manufacturing services for new product solutions that do not result in sufficient revenue to make those investments profitable. Furthermore, customers may change or delay product introductions or terminate existing products without notice for any number of reasons unrelated to the Company, including lack of market acceptance for a product. The Company’s future operating results will depend significantly on its ability to provide timely design and manufacturing services for new products that compete favorably with design and manufacturing capabilities and third party suppliers.
 
  The Company’s component and materials suppliers may fail to meet its needs, causing it to experience manufacturing delays, which may harm its relationships with current or prospective customers and reduce sales.

The Company does not have long term supply contracts with the majority of its suppliers or for specific components. This generally serves to reduce its commitment risk but does expose it to supply risk and to price increases that the Company may not be able to pass on to its customers. In the Company’s industry, at times, there are shortages of some of the materials and components that it uses. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient components on a timely basis, the Company may experience manufacturing delays, which could harm its relationships with current or prospective customers and reduce sales. Moreover, some suppliers may offer preferential terms to the Company’s competitors, who may have greater buying power or leverage in negotiations. That would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage.

The Company may be affected by power shortages, causing delays in delivery of products to its customers, resulting in possible loss of business or claims against it and cause it to lose future business from those or other customers.

The Company’s Dongguan factory consumes a significant amount of electricity, and there are a significant number of industrial facilities in the area where this factory is located. Therefore, power shortages may occur and the facility may be deprived of electricity for undetermined periods of time. This may result in longer production timeframes and delays in delivery of product to the Company’s customers. Failure to meet delivery deadlines may result in the loss of business or claims against the Company, which may have a material and adverse effect on its business, profitability and reputation.

The Company’s financial performance could be harmed if compliance with new environmental regulations becomes too burdensome.

Although the Company believes that it is operating in compliance with applicable Chinese government environmental laws, there is no assurance that the Company will be in compliance consistently, as such laws and regulations or their interpretation and implementation change. Failure to comply with environmental regulation could result in the imposition of fines, suspension or halting of production or closure of manufacturing operations.

The Company may not be able to secure financing needed for future operating needs on acceptable terms, or on any terms at all.

From time to time, the Company may seek additional equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to maintain or expand its design and production facilities and equipment and/or working capital, as well as to repay outstanding loans if cash flow from operations is insufficient to do so. The Company cannot predict with certainty the timing or amount of any such capital requirements. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, the Company may be unable to expand its business or to develop new business at the rate desired.

Failure to manage growth effectively could result in inefficiencies that could increase the Company’s costs, reducing the Company’s profitability.

The Company has increased the number of its manufacturing and design programs and intends to expand further the number and diversity of its programs. The number of locations where the Company manufactures may also increase. The Company’s ability to manage its planned growth effectively will require the Company to:

 
20

 

·
enhance quality, operational, financial and management systems;

·
expand facilities and equipment; and

·
successfully hire, train and motivate additional employees, including the technical personnel necessary to operate the Company’s production facilities.

An expansion and diversification of the Company’s product range, manufacturing and sales will result in increases in its overhead and selling expenses. The Company may also be required to increase staffing and other expenses as well as expenditures on plant, equipment and property in order to meet the anticipated demand of its customers. Customers, however, generally do not commit to firm production schedules for more than a short time in advance. Any increase in expenditures in anticipation of future orders that do not materialize would adversely affect the Company’s profitability. Customers also may require rapid increases in design and production services that place an excessive short-term burden on the Company’s resources and reduce its profitability.

Potential strategic alliances may not achieve their objectives, which could lead to wasted effort or involvement in ventures that are not profitable and could harm the Company’s reputation.

The Company is currently exploring strategic alliances designed to enhance or complement its technology or to work in conjunction with its technology, increase its manufacturing capacity, provide additional know-how, components or supplies, and develop, introduce and distribute products and services utilizing its technology and know-how. Any strategic alliances entered into may not achieve their strategic objectives, and parties to the Company’s strategic alliances may not perform as contemplated. As a result, the alliances themselves may run at a loss, which would reduce the Company’s profitability, and if the products or customer service provided by such alliances were of inferior quality, its reputation in the marketplace could be harmed, affecting its existing and future customer relationships.

The Company may not be able to retain, recruit and train adequate management and production personnel. The Company relies heavily on those personnel to help develop and execute its business plans and strategies, and if the Company loses such personnel, it would reduce its ability to operate effectively.

The Company’s success is dependent, to a large extent, on its ability to retain the services of its executive management, who have contributed to its growth and expansion to date. The executive directors play an important role in the Company’s operations and the development of its new products. Accordingly, the loss of their services, in particular Mr. Yi Song without suitable replacements, will have an adverse affect on the Company’s business generally, operating results and future prospects.

In addition, the Company’s continued operations are dependent upon its ability to identify and recruit adequate management and production personnel in China. The Company requires trained graduates of varying levels and experience and a flexible work force of semi-skilled operators. Many of the Company’s current employees come from the more remote regions of China as they are attracted by the wage differential and prospects afforded by Shenzhen and the Company’s operations. With the economic growth currently being experienced in China, competition for qualified personnel will be substantial, and there can be no guarantee that a favorable employment climate will continue and that wage rates the Company must offer to attract qualified personnel will enable it to remain competitive internationally. Inability to attract such personnel may or the increased cost of doing so could reduce the Company’s competitive advantage relative to other backlight producers, reducing or eliminating the Company’s growth in revenues and profits.

Mr. Yi Song, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, controls approximately 69% of the Company’s outstanding common shares and may have conflict of interest with the Company’s minority shareholders.

Mr. Yi Song, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 69% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of being the majority shareholder, for transactions that require shareholders approval, he has control over decisions to enter into any of them, which could result in the approval of transactions that might not maximize shareholders’ value, and has the ability to prevent entry into any of them. In addition, he can control the election of members of the Company’s board, have the ability to appoint new members to the Company’s management team and control the outcome of matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock. The interests of Mr. Yi Song may at times conflict with the interests of the Company’s other shareholders.

 
21

 

The Company may be subject to fines and legal sanctions imposed by State Administration of Foreign Exchange(SAFE) or other Chinese government authorities if it or its Chinese directors or employees fail to comply with recent Chinese regulations relating to employee share options or shares granted by offshore listed companies to Chinese domestic individuals

On December 25, 2006, the People’s Bank of China, or PBOC, issued the Administration Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange Control, and the corresponding Implementation Rules were issued by SAFE on January 5, 2007. Both of these regulations became effective on February 1, 2007. According to these regulations, all foreign exchange matters relating to employee stock holding plans, share option plans or similar plans with Chinese domestic individuals’ participation require approval from the SAFE or its authorized branch. On March 28, 2007, the SAFE issued the Application Procedure of Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Holding Plan or Stock Option Plan of Overseas-Listed Company, or the Stock Option Rule. Under the Stock Option Rule, Chinese domestic individuals who are granted share options or shares by an offshore listed company are required, through a Chinese agent or Chinese subsidiary of the offshore listed company, to register with the SAFE and complete certain other procedures. As the Company is an offshore listed company, its Chinese domestic directors and employees who may be granted share options or shares shall become subject to the Stock Option Rule. Under the Stock Option Rule, employees stock holding plans, share option plans or similar plans of offshore listed companies with Chinese domestic individuals’ participation must be filed with the SAFE. After the Chinese domestic directors or employees exercise their options, they must apply for the amendment to the registration with the SAFE. The Company is reviewing the procedures for such SAFE registration. If the Company or its Chinese domestic directors or employees fail to comply with these regulations, the Company or its Chinese domestic directors or employees may be subject to fines or other legal sanctions imposed by the SAFE or other Chinese government authorities.

Risks Related to International Operations

If China does not continue its policy of economic reforms, it could, among other things, result in an increase in tariffs and trade restrictions on products the Company produces or sells following a business combination, making its products less attractive and potentially reducing its revenues and profits.

China’s government has been reforming its economic system since the late 1970s. The economy of China has historically been a nationalistic, “planned economy,” meaning it has functioned and produced according to governmental plans and pre-set targets or quotas.

However, in recent years, the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership in business enterprises. Although the Company believes that the changes adopted by the government of China have had a positive effect on the economic development of China, additional changes still need to be made. For example, a substantial portion of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. Additionally, the government continues to play a significant role in regulating industrial development. The Company cannot predict the timing or extent of any future economic reforms that may be proposed, but should they occur, they could reduce the Company’s operating flexibility or require it to divert its efforts to products or ventures that are less profitable than those it would elect to pursue on its own.

A recent positive economic change has been China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, the global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. It is believed that China’s entry will ultimately result in a reduction of tariffs for industrial products, a reduction in trade restrictions and an increase in trading with the United States. However, China has not fully complied with all of its WTO obligations to date, including fully opening its markets to American goods and easing the current trade imbalance between the two countries. If actions are not taken to rectify these problems, trade relations between the United States and China may be strained, and this may have a negative impact on China's economy and the Company’s business by leading to the imposition of trade barriers on items that incorporate the Company’s products, which would reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.

The Company is dependent on its Chinese manufacturing operations to generate the majority of its income and profits, and the deterioration of any current favorable local conditions may make it difficult or prohibitive to continue to operate or expand the manufacturing facilities in China.

The Company’s current manufacturing operations are located in China, its administrative offices are in the United States and the Company has additional establishments in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. The geographical distances between these facilities create a number of logistical and communications challenges, including time differences and differences in the cultures in each location, which makes communication and effective cooperation more difficult. In addition, because of the location of the manufacturing facilities in China, the Company could be affected by economic and political instability there, including problems related to labor unrest, lack of developed infrastructure, variances in payment cycles, currency fluctuations, overlapping taxes and multiple taxation issues, employment and severance taxes, compliance with local laws and regulatory requirements, greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, and the burdens of cost and compliance with a variety of foreign laws. Moreover, inadequate development or maintenance of infrastructure in China, including adequate power and water supplies, transportation, raw materials availability or the deterioration in the general political, economic or social environment could make it difficult, more expensive and possibly prohibitive to continue to operate or expand the manufacturing facilities in China.

The Chinese government could change its policies toward, or even nationalize, private enterprise, which could leave the Company unable to use the assets the Company has accumulated for the purpose of generating profits for the benefit of its shareholders.

Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies, including the encouragement of private economic activities and decentralization of economic regulation. The Chinese government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to the Company’s detriment from time to time without notice. Changes in policies by the Chinese government that result in a change of laws, regulations, their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion or imports and sources of supply could materially reduce the value of the Company’s business by making it uncompetitive or, for example, by reducing the Company’s after-tax profits. The nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises by the Chinese government could result in the total loss of the Company’s investment in China, where a significant portion of the Company’s profits are generated.

The Chinese legal system may have inherent uncertainties that could materially and adversely impact the Company’s ability to enforce the agreements governing its operations.

The performance of the agreements and the operations of the Company’s factories are dependent on its relationship with the local government. The Company’s operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected by the failure of the local government to honor the Company’s agreements or an adverse change in the laws governing them. In the event of a dispute, enforcement of these agreements could be difficult in China. China tends to issue legislation, which is followed by implementing regulations, interpretations and guidelines that can render immediate compliance difficult. Similarly, on occasion, conflicts arise between national legislation and implementation by the provinces that take time to reconcile. These factors can present difficulties in the Company’s ability to achieve compliance. Unlike the United States, China has a civil law system based on written statutes in which judicial decisions have limited precedential value. The Chinese government has enacted laws and regulations to deal with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, the Company’s experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and its ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes in China is therefore unpredictable. These matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese government, and forces and factors unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination.

Because the Company’s operations are international, it is subject to significant worldwide political, economic, legal and other uncertainties that may make collection of amounts owed to it difficult or costly, or conducting operations more difficult should materials needed from certain places be unavailable for an indefinite or extended period of time.

The Company has subsidiaries in the British Virgin Islands, China and Hong Kong. Because the Company manufactures all of its products in China, substantially all of the net book value of its total fixed assets is located there. However, the Company sells its products to customers worldwide, with concentrations of customers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, North America, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia and China Mainland. As a result, the Company will have receivables from and goods in transit to those locations. Protectionist trade legislation in the United States or foreign countries, such as a change in export or import legislation, tariff or duty structures, or other trade policies, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell products in these markets, or even to purchase raw materials or equipment from foreign suppliers. Moreover, the Company is subject to a variety of United States laws and regulations, changes to which may affect its ability to transact business with certain customers or in certain product categories.

The Company is also subject to numerous national, state and local governmental regulations, including environmental, labor, waste management, health and safety matters and product specifications. The Company is subject to laws and regulations governing its relationship with its employees, including: wage and hour requirements, working and safety conditions, citizenship requirements, work permits and travel restrictions. These include local labor laws and regulations, which may require substantial resources for compliance. The Company is subject to significant government regulation with regard to property ownership and use in connection with its leased facilities in China, import restrictions, currency restrictions and restrictions on the volume of domestic sales and other areas of regulation, all of which can limit the Company’s ability to react to market pressures in a timely or effective way, thus causing it to lose business or miss opportunities to expand its business.

Fluctuation of the Renminbi could make the Company’s pricing less attractive, causing it to lose sales, or could reduce the Company’s profitability when stated in terms of another currency, such as the U.S. dollar.

The value of the Renminbi, the main currency used in China, fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies such as the dollar has been generally based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. The official exchange rate had remained stable over the past several years. However, Chinese Government recently adopted a floating rate with respect to the value of Renminbi against foreign currencies, with a 0.3% fluctuation. As a result, the exchange rate was slightly increased to RMB 6.83 against the dollar at December 31, 2009, accounting for a 0.05% increase of Renminbi within one year. This floating exchange rate, and any appreciation of the Renminbi that may result from such rate, could have various effects on the Company’s business, which include making its products more expensive relative to those of its competitors than has been true in the past, or increasing the Company’s profitability when stated in dollar terms. It is not possible to predict if the net effects of the appreciation of the Renminbi, if it occurred, would be positive or negative for the Company’s business.

Changes in foreign exchange regulations in China may affect the Company’s ability to pay dividends in foreign currency or conduct other business for which the Company would need access to foreign currency exchange.

Renminbi, or RMB, is not currently a freely convertible currency, and the restrictions on currency exchanges may limit the Company’s ability to use revenues generated in RMB to fund business activities outside China or to make dividends or other payments in United States dollars. The Chinese government strictly regulates conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. For example, RMB cannot be converted into foreign currencies for the purpose of expatriating the foreign currency, except for purposes such as payment of debts lawfully owed to parties outside of China. Over the years, foreign exchange regulations in China have significantly reduced the government’s control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts.

The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or “SAFE”, regulates the conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies. Currently, Foreign Invested Enterprises, or “FIE”, are required to apply for “Foreign Exchange Registration Certificates,” which permit the conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for the purpose of expatriating profits earned in China to a foreign country. The Company’s China subsidiary, Diguang Electronics, is a FIE that has obtained the registration certifications, and with such registration certifications, which need to be renewed annually, Diguang Electronics is allowed to open foreign currency accounts including a “current account” and “capital account.” Currently, conversion within the scope of the “current account”, e.g. remittance of foreign currencies for payment of dividends, etc., can be effected without requiring the approval of SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the “capital account”, e.g. for capital items such as direct investments, loans, securities, etc., still requires the approval of SAFE. In accordance with the existing foreign exchange regulations in China, Diguang Electronics is able to pay dividends in foreign currencies, without prior approval from the SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements.

Although the Company has not experienced any difficulties in the repatriation of its profits out of China or in meeting its foreign exchange needs to date, there can be no assurance that the current foreign exchange measures will not be changed in a way that will make payment of dividends and other distributions outside of China more difficult or unlawful. As a result, if the Company intends to distribute profits outside of China, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient foreign exchange to do so.

In addition, on October 21, 2005, SAFE promulgated Notice 75, Notice on Issues concerning Foreign Exchange Management in People’s Republic of China Residents’ Financing and Return investments through Overseas Special Intention Company. Notice 75 provides that Chinese residents shall apply for Foreign Exchange Investment Registration before establishing or controlling an OSIC, which is defined by Notice 75 as a foreign enterprise directly established or indirectly controlled by Chinese residents for foreign equity capital financing with their domestic enterprise assets and interests.

Notice 75 further requires that Chinese residents shall process the modification of foreign investment exchange registration for the interests of net assets held by Chinese residents in an OSIC and its alteration condition, if Chinese residents contributed their domestic assets or shares into the OSIC, or processed foreign equity capital financing after contributing their domestic assets or shares into the OSIC.

Pursuant to Notice 75, Chinese residents are prohibited, among other things, from distributing profits or proceeds from a liquidation, paying bonuses, or transferring shares of the OSIC outside of China if Chinese residents have not completed or do not maintain the Foreign Investment Exchange Registration.

Yi Song and Hong Song, the Company’s principals, have filed the requisite application for foreign investment exchange registration under the relevant laws of China and the regulations of Notice 75, and their registration application has been approved by SAFE. Their foreign investment exchange registration is valid, legal and effective for the purpose of Notice 75.

However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose further restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB. Since the Company’s subsidiary in China generates a significant proportion of its revenue and these revenues are denominated mainly in RMB, any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit the Company’s ability to repatriate such revenues for the distribution of dividends to its shareholders or for funding the Company’s other business activities outside China.

The Company is subject to various tax regimes, which may adversely affect its profitability and tax liabilities in the future.

Diguang Development has subsidiaries and/or operations or other presence in the U.S., China, Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands, and it will be subject to the tax regimes of these countries. Although virtually all of Diguang Development’s profits will be earned outside of the U.S., under U.S. tax laws it is possible that some or much of Diguang Development’s earnings will be subject to U.S. taxation. That may be true even if Diguang Development does not repatriate any of its foreign earnings to the U.S. If that occurs, Diguang Development’s after-tax profits could decrease significantly. Diguang Development will attempt to structure its operations in a manner that minimizes its overall corporate tax costs, but there is no assurance that it will be able to avoid having to pay significantly higher taxes than the Company have paid historically.

As the Company was established under the laws of the state of Nevada, the Company is subject only to federal income tax and state income tax. Because the Company’s main operating activities are located outside the U.S., the taxable income outside the U.S. may not be able to offset the taxable loss generated in the U.S. The Company may have accumulated certain net operation loss carry forwards; however, due to the changes in ownership, the use of these net operation loss carry forward may be limited in accordance with the U.S. tax laws.

 
24

 

In addition, any change in tax laws and regulations or the interpretation or application thereof, either internally in one of those jurisdictions or as between those jurisdictions, may adversely affect Diguang Development’s profitability and tax liabilities in the future.

Cessation of the income tax exemption for Diguang Electronics may have an adverse impact on the Company’s net profits.

Diguang Electronics is registered in Shenzhen and was subject to a favorable income tax rate of 15% compared to a statutory income tax rate of 33%, 30% for the central government and 3% for the local government. Diguang Electronics has been deemed a high-tech company by Shenzhen Bureau of Science, Technology & Information. Diguang Electronics was subject to an income tax rate of 15% since January 1, 2007 according to the old tax law. A newly enacted enterprise income tax law (“EIT Law”) was effective January 1, 2008. The EIT Law imposes a unified EIT of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign invested enterprises unless these foreign investment enterprises qualify under certain grand-father rules. For enterprises like Diguang Electronics which were taxed under the privileged preferential income tax rate of 15% under the old tax law, the applicable income tax rate should transit to 25% in 5 years, that is, 18% in the year ended December 31, 2008, 20%, 22%, 24% and 25% in the following four years ending December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and 25% thereafter. So the applicable income tax rate for Diguang Electronics is 20% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Cessation of value added tax refund for Diguang Electronics may have an adverse impact on the Company’s net profits.

Normally, Diguang Electronics would be required to pay a value added tax, or the difference between the VAT it pays and collects. Based on the fact that two of Diguang Electronics’ products, its color CCFL backlight for TFT-LCD TV and its white LED backlight, are included in the National (and/or Provincial) Important New Products Project, Diguang Electronics is entitled to receive financial support according to the Rules for the Implementation of Financial Preferential Treatment on Shenzhen Important New Products. In accordance with the detailed explanation provided by relevant government agencies, Diguang Electronics applied to receive government subsidy based on a 50% of the local portion of the VAT (which represents 25% of the total VAT) or VAT paid x 25% x 50%, in relation to these two products approved by Shenzhen Treasury Department financial fund assistance. This application should be effective for three years from the date a product receives approval to be included in the National (and/or Provincial) Important New Products Project. Pursuant to the relevant approvals, Diguang Electronics received the subsidies for the income tax imposed on the profit generated by these two products from the local government. Diguang Electronics has been noticed through governmental circular that it is entitled to receive subsidy for 2006 because one product named New Type High Efficiency CCFL/LED Backlight (TFT-LCD Backlight) was listed on the National (and/or Provincial) Important New Products Project by the relevant local government. Diguang Electronics intends to apply for continued inclusion of this one product within the National (and/or Provincial) Important New Products Project in October 2006 for the 2006 subsidy; if the application is approved, Diguang Electronics will be entitled to the VAT refund until at least October 2007. However, there is no assurance that Diguang Electronics’ application will be approved. If Diguang Electronics’ application is not successful, the subsidy of VAT tax refund, may be reduced and its after tax profits may be adversely affected.

Because Chinese law will govern almost all of the Company’s material agreements after the Share Exchange, the Company may not be able to enforce its legal rights within China or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities, or capital.

Chinese law will govern almost all of the Company’s material agreements after the Share Exchange. The Company cannot assure you that the Company will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available outside of China. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in China may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of the Company’s future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.

Additionally, substantially all of the Company’s assets will be located outside of the United States and most of its officers and directors will reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for United States investors to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon the Company’s directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of the Company’s directors and officers under Federal securities laws. Moreover, the Company has been advised that China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and China would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of the Federal securities laws.

 
25

 

It will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against the Company’s officers, directors and assets based in China.

Because most of the Company’s officers and directors reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire jurisdiction over those persons if a lawsuit is initiated against the Company and/or its officers and directors by a shareholder or group of shareholders in the United States. Also, because the Company’s officers will likely be residing in China at the time such a suit is initiated, achieving service of process against such persons would be extremely difficult. Furthermore, because the majority of the Company’s assets are located in China it would also be extremely difficult to access those assets to satisfy an award entered against the Company in United States court. Moreover, shave been advised that China does not have treaties with the United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts.

The Company may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in China, which could impair its planning processes and make it difficult to provide accurate reports of its operating results.

China historically has not followed Western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, and its access to modern banking, computer and other control systems has been limited. The Company may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in China in these areas. As a result of these factors, the Company may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards, making it difficult for management to forecast its needs and to present the results of the Company’s operations accurately at all times.

Imposition of trade barriers and taxes may reduce the Company’s ability to do business internationally, and the resulting loss of revenue could harm the Company’s profitability.

The Company may experience barriers to conducting business and trade in its targeted emerging markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs duties and tariffs. In addition, the Company may be subject to repatriation taxes levied upon the exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, substantial taxes of profits, revenues, assets and payroll, as well as value-added tax. The markets in which the Company plans to operate may impose onerous and unpredictable duties, tariffs and taxes on its business and products, and there can be no assurance that this will not reduce the level of sales that the Company achieves in such markets, which would reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.

There can be no guarantee that China will comply with the membership requirements of the World Trade Organization, which could leave the Company subject to retaliatory actions by other governments and reduce the Company’s ability to sell its products internationally.

China has agreed that foreign companies will be allowed to import most products into any part of China. In the sensitive area of intellectual property rights, China has agreed to implement the trade-related intellectual property agreement of the Uruguay Round. There can be no assurances that China will implement any or all of the requirements of its membership in the World Trade Organization in a timely manner, if at all. If China does not fulfill its obligations to the World Trade Organization, the Company may be subject to retaliatory actions by the governments of the countries into which the Company sells its products, which could render its products less attractive, thus reducing its revenues and profits.

There can be no guarantee that the Company’s management will continuously meet its obligations under Chinese law to enable distribution of profits earned in China to entities outside of China.

A circular recently promulgated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or “SAFE”, has increased the ability of foreign holding companies to receive distributions of profits earned by Chinese operating subsidiaries. The Company qualifies for this treatment, but remaining qualified for it will require the Chinese principals involved, Yi Song and Hong Song to meet annual filing obligations. While they have agreed to meet those annual requirements, it is possible that they will fail to do so, which could limit the Company’s ability to gain access to the profits earned by Diguang Electronics. The result could be the inability to pay dividends to the Company’s stockholders or to deploy capital outside of China in a manner that would be beneficial to the Company’s business as a whole.

Risks Related to the Company’s Securities.

The market price of the Company’s shares is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations.

The markets for equity securities have been volatile. The price of the Company’s common shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to variations in operating results, news announcements, trading volume, general market trends both domestically and internationally, currency movements and interest rate fluctuations or sales of common shares by its officers, directors and its principal shareholders, customers, suppliers or other publicly traded companies. Certain events, such as the issuance of common shares upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding stock options, could also materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Company’s common shares. Further, the stock markets in general have recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies and that have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common shares and the ability to resell shares at or above the price paid, or at any price.

 
26

 

There may not be an active, liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. If the Company does not succeed in securing a listing on the NASDAQ Market, it could limit the ability to trade the Company’s common stock and result in a reduction of the price that can be obtained for shares being sold.

Compliance with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may be a further condition of continued listing or trading. There is no assurance that if the Company is granted a listing on the NASDAQ Market it will always be able to meet the NASDAQ Market listing requirements, or that there will be an active, liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock in the future. Failure to meet the NASDAQ Market listing requirements could result in the delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NASDAQ Market, which may adversely affect the liquidity of its shares, the price that can be obtained for them or both.

The Company may not pay dividends.

The Company may not pay dividends in the future. Instead, the Company expects to apply earnings toward the further expansion and development of its business. The likelihood of the Company’s paying dividends is further reduced by the fact that, in order to pay dividends, the Company would need to repatriate profits earned outside of the U.S., and in doing so those profits would become subject to U.S. taxation. Thus, the liquidity of your investment is dependent upon your ability to sell stock at an acceptable price, rather than receiving an income stream from it. The price of the Company’s stock can go down as well as up, and fluctuations in market price may limit the Company’s ability to realize any value from your investment, including recovering the initial purchase price.

The Company may not raise funds in the equity market for future expansion

The stock price of the Company may plunge to its bottom price during times of economic recession and may not recover for a long time. This will affect its ability to raise fund in the stock market as the stock price cannot rebound from the prospective investors' perspective.

Though a company's nominal share price by itself may not provide much assistance in judging its business prospects, however, stocks at low levels can negatively impact investors' psychology and therefore it will limit such company ’ s ability to raise new equity capital or make acquisitions using stock as currency, and it limits institutional ownership and brokerage research coverage. In addition, some brokerages discourage customers from buying lowly priced stocks.

With a fundamental recovery in the underlying business, of course, not all stocks can snap back to their reasonable levels. Moreover, history shows that certain stocks can languish in low single digits for years once they fall to that range and it will trade at low price-earnings multiple for years which will adversely affect its expansion.

The Company may face severe operating environment during times of global economic recession.

The sales volume of the Company’s core products is largely influenced by the demand for its end products which are mostly sold in US and European markets. The global economic crisis in 2008, triggered by the US subprime problem, led to a drastic drop in demand for electronic consumer goods. The Company’s direct customers had excessive inventory which hindered its production capacity. Moreover, the uncertain customers’ requirement and the changes in supply-demand balance would affect the Company’s capital expenditure and innovation pace. They may lower the Company’s new product development which can adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and operating efficiencies when these occurred during the times of soft economy.

Diguang S&T purchases raw materials from international suppliers and acts as an international sales group for both Diguang Electronics and Well Planner.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition presented in this section are based on the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. During the preparation of its financial statements the Company is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales, returns, pricing concessions, bad debts, inventories, investments, fixed assets, intangible assets, income taxes and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under current conditions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about Critical Accounting Policy,” the Company identified the most critical accounting principles upon which its financial status depends. The Company determined that those critical accounting principles are related to the use of estimates, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, income tax and impairment of intangibles and other long-lived assets. The Company presents these accounting policies in the relevant sections in this management’s discussion and analysis, including the Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements discussed below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue generated from sales of backlight units to customers is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the products has occurred, the significant risks and rewards of the ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company will sign sales order (or purchase order prepared by customers) with customers for each sales transaction. A sales order signed by both parties is deemed to be persuasive evidence for revenue recognition. Sales terms of products are usually “FOB destination” and the delivery is deemed to occur when the products have been delivered to the sites prescribed by customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company receives customers’ confirmation of transaction statements. Due to the nature of backlight products, when the products have quality issue, the Company will replace these products and the products with quality issue are brought back. Accordingly, no provision has been made for returnable goods. Revenue presented on the Company’s income statements is net of sales taxes.

Certain sales are subject to the ultimate usage of the products by the Company’s customers. Revenue is not recognized on these transactions until the period in which the Company is able to determine that the products shipped have been used by its customers.

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Typically credit terms require payment to be made within 90 days of the invoice date. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. The Company maintains its cash accounts at credit worthy financial institutions and closely monitors the movements of its cash positions.

The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. The Company includes any accounts balances that are determined to be uncollectible in the allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available to management, the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 were adequate, respectively. However, actual write-off might exceed the recorded allowance.

Inventories

Inventories are composed of raw materials and components, work in progress, finished goods and consignment goods, most of which are related to backlight products. The consignment goods are owned by the Company as inventory and are stored at a customer’s place.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (based on weighted average method) and the market. Full amount provisions were made for obsolete inventories which are difficult to estimate future utilization. Once the inventory cost is written down, the written-down costs are treated as a new cost basis for the inventory, and are not adjusted back up to the previous cost basis in future periods. For inventories which will be used in ordinary course of production or sales, the net realizable value of the inventories is compared with their carrying value, if the net realizable value is lower than the carrying value, a provision for the difference between the net realizable value and the carrying value of the inventories was recognized. Net realizable value is determined based on the most recent selling price of these inventories less the estimated cost to sell.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets when accounts for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.

Diguang Electronics is registered in Shenzhen and was subject to a favorable income tax rate at 15% compared to a statutory income tax rate of 33%, 30% for the central government and 3% for the local government. And Diguang Electronics has been deemed a high-tech company by Shenzhen Bureau of Science, Technology & Information. Under this category, Diguang Electronics has been entitled to enjoy a 50% exemption from enterprise income tax at the rate of 15% for the years from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2006. Diguang Electronics was subject to an income tax rate of 15% since January 1, 2007 according to the old tax law. A newly enacted enterprise income tax law (“EIT Law”) was effective January 1, 2008. The EIT Law imposes a unified EIT of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign invested enterprises unless these foreign investment enterprises qualify under certain grand-father rules. For enterprises like Diguang Electronics which enjoyed a privileged preferential income tax rate of 15% under the old tax law, the applicable income tax rate should transit to 25% in 5 years, that is, 18% in the year ended December 31, 2008, 20%, 22%, 24% and 25% in the following four years ending December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and 25% ever after. So the applicable income tax rate for Diguang Electronics is 20% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Well Planner is subject to an income tax rate at 17.5% under Hong Kong Inland Revenue jurisdiction. However, Well Planner does not have Hong Kong sourced income. In accordance with Hong Kong tax regulation, Well Planner has not been taxed since its inception.

Diguang Technology is a BVI registered company. There is no income tax for the company domiciled in the BVI. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements do not present any income tax provision related to the British Virgin Islands tax jurisdiction.

Dihao is registered in Yangzhou and has been deemed a high-tech company by Yangzhou Bureau of Science, Technology and Information. Under this category, Dihao was entitled to enjoy a 100% exemption of corporate income tax for the two years from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and a 50% exemption of corporate income tax for the following three years from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010 in accordance with the preferential rules established by Yangzhou local tax authority on August 2, 1999. Under the new EIT Law, the income tax rate for Dihao is 25%; the applicable income tax rate for Dihao is 12.5% for the three years ending December 31, 2010.

Wuhan Diguang is registered in Wuhan. As a manufacturing company with foreign investment set up before March 16, 2007, Wuhan Diguang is entitled to enjoy a 100% exemption of corporate income tax for the first two years of operations with a profit position and a 50% exemption of corporate income tax for the following three years. After the five-year exemption period, Wuhan Diguang will be subject to the unified income tax rate of 25% in accordance with the new EIT Law. It is the second year for Wuhan Diguang to enjoy 100% exemption of income tax in 2009.

Dongguan Diguang S&T is registered in Dongguan of Guangdong Province and was entitled to enjoy a 100% exemption of corporate income tax for the first two years of operation and a 50% exemption of corporate income tax for the following three years and will be subject to the unified income tax rate of 25% after the five-year exemption period. Dongguan Diguang S&T has used up its two years’ 100% exemption in the year 2008 and 2007, even though it suffered losses in these two years. It is the first year for Dongguan Diguang S&T to enjoy 50% exemption of income tax in 2009.

Diguang International Development Co., Ltd. was established under the laws of the State of Nevada and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and one state income tax. For U.S. income tax purposes no provision has been made for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of overseas subsidiaries with which the Company intends to continue to reinvest. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional tax that might be payable on the foreign earnings if they were remitted as dividends, or lent to the Company, or if the Company should sell its stock in the subsidiary. The predecessor company accumulated certain net operation loss carry forwards; however, due to the changes in ownership, the use of these net operation loss carry forwards may be limited in accordance with the U.S. tax laws.

Because the consolidated financial statements were based on the respective entities’ historical financial statements, the respective effective income tax rate for the periods reported represents the effect of actual income tax provisions incurred by Diguang Electronics, Dihao, Wuhan Diguang, Dongguan Diguang S&T and Diguang International Development Co., Ltd.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Impairment of Financial Investments

The Company accounts for its investments in common stocks using the cost method. Other than temporary impairment loss is recognized when a series of operating losses of an investee or other factors indicate a decrease in value of investments.

Share-Based Payments

The Company receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity securities of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity securities or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity securities. The Company uses a fair-value-based method to calculate and account for above mentioned transactions.

It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. FASB ASC 805-20 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.

FASB ASC 815
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 815, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” FASB ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (ii) how the Company accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial results.

FASB ASU 2009-05
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-05, "Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value," which amends the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to provide guidance on fair value measurement of liabilities. If a quoted price in an active market is not available for an identical liability, ASU 2009-05 requires companies to compute fair value by using quoted prices for an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as an asset or another valuation technique that is consistent with the guidance in ASC 820. ASU 2009-05 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after its issuance. The Company will adopt this ASU 2009-05 on January 1, 2010 and expects that the adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
FASB ASU 2009-13
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (ASU 2009-13). This update removes the criterion that entities must use objective and reliable evidence of fair value in separately accounting for deliverables and provides entities with a hierarchy of evidence that must be considered when allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance also requires entities to allocate arrangement consideration to the separate units of accounting based on the deliverables’ relative selling price. The provisions will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in our year 2011 and must be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2009-13.
 
FASB ASU 2009-17

In November 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810) – Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” The ASU changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. These provisions are effective January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted. Adoption of these provisions is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

Revenue

Net revenue was approximately $44.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $11.3 million, or 20%, compared with $55.4 million for the prior year. The decrease in sales revenue was primarily due to the negative impact of reduced demand in backlight end products as a result of the global financial crisis which began from the third quarter of 2008. From the third quarter of 2009, the market showed a slow upward trend and the Company expanded sales revenue both on its traditional products and newly developed products of large size LED backlights and LED monitors. Among the total decrease of $11.3 million in sales revenue, $3.7 million, $3.4 million and $4.2 million came from the Company’s three manufacturing facilities in Dongguan, Yangzhou and Wuhan, respectively.

The total net revenue can be divided into international sales and domestic sales as follows:

   
Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2009
 
International sales
    40,429,000       26,290,000  
Domestic sales
    15,002,000       17,785,000  
Total
    55,431,000       44,075,000  

Domestic sales amounted to 40% of total sales revenue for 2009, compared with 27% in 2008. The increase trend in proportion of domestic sales reflected both the heavier adverse impact of the worldwide financial crisis in the international market and management’s effort in developing the domestic market.

Sales to international customers totaled $26.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $14.1 million, or 35%, compared with $40.4 million for the prior year. The international sales revenue was affected significantly by the global recession. The significant decrease of international sales was primarily due to weakened market demand for the digital display products such as automobile TV, portable DVD, MP3 and MP4 and LCD products. Diguang Electronics lost sales revenue of $5.7 million and $4.2 million from its three major customers in Korea and Hong Kong respectively, primarily due to these three customers losing their orders of portable DVD and digital photo frame products. Wuhan Diguang and Dihao together lost sales revenue of $7.8 million from their major Taiwanese customers. With large customers reducing their orders, the Company managed to increase sales revenue to other customers. The $10.9 million decrease in sales to big customers was mitigated by the increase of $3.1 million in sales to other customers.

The Company has tried its best to develop new customers in both the international and domestic markets throughout 2009 to offset the negative impact of losses of sales orders from existing big customers.

Sales to domestic customers were $17.8 million for 2009, an increase of $2.8 million, or 19%, compared with $15 million for 2008. The increase of domestic sales revenue was the result of management’s strategy to develop the domestic market. The Company recognized sales revenue of $7.5 million all from new domestic customers in 2009; among which, sales to the largest new customer amounted to $3.5 million in Diguang Electronics. On the other hand, the domestic revenue from sales of small to mid size LED products decreased by $4.7 million in 2009, because the Company chose to cease producing some small to media size products with lower gross margin.

The Company has thousands of categories of products and the product mixtures are constantly changing in order to adapt to market demands during 2009 and 2008. As the sale prices are quite different for different categories of products, it is almost impossible to discuss the impact of changes in volume and changes in product price here.

The Company already has three manufacturing facilities located in the East China region (Yangzhou), Central China region (Wuhan), and Southern China region (Dongguan). There are various capacities in the principal manufacturing facility of Dongguan to serve the customers which are LCD TV and monitor manufacturers and LCD assembly enterprises. The Company commenced to produce LED general light products in the Dongguan facility since June 2008 and large size LED backlights and monitors from 2009. Yangzhou factory used to focus on producing small and mid size CCFL and LED backlight products and began to produce new products of large size LCM products since the fourth quarter of 2009. Wuhan facility solely manufactures large size CCFL backlight products. The Company plans to set up another new manufacturing facility in Shenzhen of Southern China. This new facility will be used to manufacture large size LED back light products and LED TV sets. Based on these manufacturing facilities, the Company believes that it has strategically deployed its production capacity in China for its long term growth.

From the product mix aspect, the sales can be divided into six main categories: LED backlight, CCFL backlight, LCM, Mini-notebook assembly products, LED general light and LED monitor as follows.

          495,000  
Total
    55,431,000       44,075,000  

The Company’s product mix changed significantly during 2009. For 2009, sales of total LED products, including LED backlight, LED LCM, Mini-notebook, LED general lights and LED monitors, amounted to $28.7 million, representing 65% of total sales revenue; sales of CCFL products, including CCFL backlight and CCFL LCM, amounted $15.3 million, representing only 35% of total sales revenue. It is the first time that sales proceeds of LED products exceeded CCFL products. Except for traditional superiority in contrast ratio, color gamut, localized dimming and low power consumption, now the market has enlarged demand to the environmental protection products world-widely, and LED products have satisfied the market requirement especially for the small to mid size of LED backlights with advantages of lower cost than the same size of CCFL products. The Company has concentrated in research and development of LED products in recent years and began to enjoy result of significantly increased sales revenue in LED products since the fourth quarter of 2009.

Sales of CCFL backlights totaled $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $16.2 million, or 59%, compared with $27.3 million for 2008. The dramatic drop in sales of CCFL backlights represented the accelerated replacement of CCFL products by LED products and the Company’s effort on expanding sales of LED products.

Sales of LED products totaled $21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 17% from $25.8 million in the prior year. The Company tried hard to expand its share in the LED backlight market under the depressed situation of worldwide financial crisis. The Company upgraded its small size LED backlight products used in mobile phones and abandoned the old small size products with low or negative gross margin; accompanying with an increase of gross margin, sales revenue of upgraded small size LED backlights used for cell phones increased by $2.1 million to $6.1 million in 2009 from $4 million in 2008. The Company launched new products of large size LED backlight in the fourth quarter of 2009 and recognized sales revenue of $1.4 million. Facing the deeply depressed economy, the increase in sales of upgraded small size and new product of large size LED backlights could not mitigate the overall decrease of $7.9 million in sales of traditional small to mid size LED backlights.

The Company had penetrated into the LCM assembly in 2008. Total sales revenue from LED and CCFL LCM increased from $1.5 million in 2008 to $10.3 million in 2009, representing an increase of $8.8 million, or 587%. LED LCM and CCFL LCM sales revenue was $6.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in 2009, representing 59% and 41% of total LCM revenue in 2009, compared with 41% and 59%, respectively, in 2008. The change of LED and CCFL proportion was in line with the overall trend of backlight segment in display industry. In provision of LCM products, the TFT-LCD glass substitute is supplied by the Company’s customers on an OEM basis. The significant increase of LCM sales represented the success of the Company’s downstream integration strategy.

LED monitor is another new product launched in 2009. Sales of LED monitors began to expand in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the Company expects further expansion on sales of LED monitors in the near future.

The Company has not promoted its products of LED general lights and mini note-book successfully in 2009 as expected. In fact, the Company has decided to cease production of mini note-books. But the Company still has confidence on LED general lights market and will continue to promote its products in the future.

The Company expects the overall LED product shipments will continue to grow and be more sustainable as the transition from CCFL to LED backlights become more compelling due to its high performance in all aspects.

Cost of Sales

Since the basic materials for all backlight products are similar, the Company discusses cost of sales in the aggregate for all products. Cost of sales was $40.5 million for 2009, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 20%, compared with $50.7 million for 2008. The 20% decrease in cost of sales is parallel to the 20% decrease in sales revenue. Under the worldwide depressed economic circumstances in late 2008 and early 2009, some customers of the Company cancelled their purchase orders and inventories prepared for those cancelled orders became obsolete. The Company has recognized provision of $1.7 million for obsolete and slow-moving inventories, which counted for 4% of total cost of sales in 2009.

Raw material cost was $33.9 million for 2009, representing a decrease of $7 million, or 17%, compared with $40.9 million for the prior year. The decrease in raw material cost was mainly attributable to the decrease of sales revenue. The percentage of raw material cost to total cost of sales was 84% for 2009, compared with 81% for 2008; the increase of this percentage was the result of changes in the product mix. The Company began to put into scale production for new products of large size LED backlights and LED monitors; and these new products have higher raw material tie-up since the unit purchase price of raw materials used in new products is higher than traditional products. Raw materials cost accounted for 77% and 74% of total sales revenue in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Labor cost was $3.3 million for 2009, representing a decrease of $3.2 million, or 49%, compared with $6.5 million for 2008. The percentage of labor cost to total cost of sales was 8% for 2009, compared with 13% for 2008. The decrease in sales revenue was one reason of decrease in labor cost; but the Company’s effort in improving management controls on labor cost counts most in reduction of labor cost. The Company has concentrated on cutting down expenses including labor costs ever since the last quarter of 2008 and began to adopt new labor cost control methods and incentive system to improve the workers’ productivity since October of 2009. The Company expected more efficiency in labor cost. Labor cost accounted for 8% and 12% of total sales revenue in 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Production overhead was $3.3 million for 2009, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 3%, compared with $3.4 million for 2008. The production overhead includes depreciation charges for fixed assets and amortization for building improvement, water and electricity expenses, repair expenses, and rentals, etc. Due to the semi-variable nature of production overhead, the decrease of production overhead is not necessarily directly associated with the decrease of cost of sales. The production overhead accounted for 7% and 6% of total revenue for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Gross Margin

The overall gross margin for 2009 was 8%, a 1% decrease, compared with 9% gross margin for 2008. The Company’s effort in expanding sales of new or upgraded products with higher gross margin has to some extent smoothed the decrease trend of gross margin due to drops in overall sales volume.

The gross margin of LED products increased from 5% in 2008 to 8% in 2009. The Company has increased gross margin for nearly all categories of the LED products. The Company upgraded its small to mid size of LED backlight products used in mobile phones to increase its gross margin; gross margin on sales of such products was close to break even in 2009, compared with a negative 17% in 2008. Most importantly, the new products of large size LED backlights had a high gross margin of 27% and sales of these large size LED products accounted for 5% of the total LED products sales revenue in 2009.

 
36

 

Gross margin of CCFL products fell to 7% in 2009 from 11% in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to aggressive market competition on traditional CCFL products.

The gross margin for LCM had a significant increase from 3% in 2008 to 9% in 2009. The increase of gross margin mainly came from LED LCM products manufactured at Diguang Electronics and the Yangzhou facility. Launched in 2008, LED LCM products reached mass production in 2009 with total sales revenue of $6.1 million; which resulted in an increase in gross margin. But for CCFL LCM, the gross margin was in a decrease trend in 2009, which was in line with the change in gross margin for overall CCFL products.

Regarding international sales, the Company’s gross margin was approximately 8% for 2009, a 2% decrease, compared with 10% for 2008 due to the price reduction pressure from end users who are LCD panel makers. Regarding domestic sales, gross margin was approximately 8%, a 4% increase, compared with 4% for 2008. The increase of gross margin from domestic customers was due mainly to upgrade of small to mid size LED backlights used for mobile phones and launch of large size LED backlights.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses were $2.3 million for 2009, an increase of approximate $482,000, or 25%, compared with $1.9 million for 2008. The increase of selling expenses was primarily due to increased promotion activities for new products in 2009 and payroll expenses increased with the increase of headcounts of sales personnel.

As a percentage of total revenue, selling expenses were approximately 5.3% for 2009 and 3.4% for 2008, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Net research and development expenses for 2009 were $3 million for 2009, an increase of $1.8 million, or 150%, compared with $1.2 million for 2008. Research and development expense increases were parallel to the Company’s efforts of upgrading products and launching new products. The increase in research and development expenses was attributable primarily to mould charges; the Company developed a series of new products including large size LED backlights, LED monitors and large size LCM products, and the mould charges increased approximately by $1.2 million in 2009 compared to the same type of expense in 2008.

The percentage of research and development expenses to total sales revenue was approximately 6.9% and 2.1% for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $4.4 million for 2009, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 20%, compared with $5.5 million for 2008. General and administrative expenses mainly included payroll, provision for bad debts, professional service fee, rentals, share-based compensation and depreciation, etc. Payroll and share-based compensation decreased by $795,000 and $290,000, respectively, in 2009 compared with the same types of expense in the prior year. With management’s efforts in cutting costs, nearly all the expenses were reduced to some extents.

The percentages of general and administrative expenses to total sales revenue were approximately 10% for both 2009 and 2008.

Interest Expense

Net interest expenses were $367,000 for 2009, representing an increase of $107,000, or 41%, compared with $260,000 for 2008. With continuous losses through its operating activities, the Company had to seek more funds from bank loans to support its working capital demands. As of December 31, 2008, the loan from bank balance was $4.4 million. During 2009, bank loans actually used by the Company increased about $4.4 million. The interest expenses increased in line with the increase in bank loans.

Net interest expenses for 2009 and 2008 represented 0.8% and 0.5% of total sales revenue, respectively.

Other Expenses (Income)

Other income was $160,000 for 2009, representing an increase of $351,000, compared with expense of $191,000 for 2008. The increase in other expenses came primarily from foreign currency exchange gains due to changes in exchange rate between RMB and US dollars.

As a percentage to the total sales revenue, other income represented 0.4% and other expenses accounted 0.3% in 2009 and 2008 respectively.

 
37

 

Income Tax Provision

Income tax provision for 2009 was approximately $42,000, a decrease of $149,000, compared with $191,000 for 2008. Income tax provision for 2009 was accrued in Yangzhou Dihao and included reversal of deferred tax assets recognized in the prior year and minor adjustment to current income tax of the prior year. Income tax provision for 2008 was mainly accrued by Diguang Electronics and Yangzhou Dihao.

As a percentage to the total sales revenue, income tax provision represented 0.1% and 0.4% in 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Net Loss

Net loss was $7.2 million for 2009, compared with net loss of $4.7 million for 2008, representing an increase of $2.5 million, or 53%, in net loss. The increase in net loss suffered by the Company in 2009 was mainly due to the decrease in sales revenue, and increase of selling expense and research and development expenses as a result of the Company’s strategy in development and promotion of new LED products.

As a percentage of total revenue, net loss for 2009 and 2008 accounted for 16.3% and 8.5% respectively.

Losses per Share

The basic loss per share was $0.33 for 2009, compared with $0.21 for 2008. Increase in basic losses per share was due to increase of net loss occurred in 2009. The number of weighted average common shares outstanding was 22,072,000 and 22,156,000 for 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had total assets of $52.0 million, of which cash amounted to $6.2 million and restrict cash amounted to $4.3 million, accounts receivable amounted to $14.0 million and inventories amounted to $7.4 million. The working capital was $2.8 million and the equity was $17.7 million on December 31, 2009, compared with $7.9 million and $24.8 million, respectively, on December 31, 2008. The quick ratios were approximately 0.85 and 1.02 on December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As of December 31, 2009, the cash position had a net decrease of $8.8 million as compared with cash position of $15 million as of December 31, 2008. The Company received further $1.5 million bank loans (net of guarantee deposit) to supplement its cash used in operating activities during 2009. In January and February of 2010, the Company received RMB20 million of loans from Shenzhen Ping’an Bank and RMB15 million out of RMB70 million bank facilities from China Development Bank; and the other RMB55 million bank facilities from China Development Bank will be available on demand of the Company. The Company estimated it has no minimum cash requirements  for $16.5 million in 2010, $7.5 million for capital investment in construction of new manufacturing facility and $9 million for supplement of working capital. The Company believes that the total cash on hand and the current available credit line will be sufficient to meet its capital investment and working capital needs.

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.1 million for 2009, compared with $2.9 million for 2008. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increased operating loss and increased cash occupied by working capital, especially accounts receivable. Cash of $7.1 million was tied up in working capital during 2009, among which increase of accounts receivable occupied cash of $4.9 million.

Non-cash items added approximately $5,281,000 back to cash flow in operating activities for 2009, increase of $1,200,000, compared with total non-cash items of $4,080,000 for 2008. Of the non-cash items of 2009, bad debt allowance was $869,000 for 2009, an increase of $648,000, compared with $221,000 for 2008. Inventory provision was $1.75 million for 2009, $510,000 higher than $1.24 million for 2008. Impairment loss from long term investment in Yangzhou Huaxia was $721,000 and $157,000 for 2009 and 2008, respectively. Due to the negative net assets in Yangzhou Huaxia, the Company wrote down investment in Yangzhou Huaxia to zero as impairment loss in 2009. Depreciation was $1,602,000 for 2009, a decrease of $231,000, compared with $1,833,000 for 2008. Approximately $281,000 was from share-based compensation, $291,000 lower than $572,000 for 2008.

The impact of the changes in operating assets and liabilities on cash flow was explained as follows.  The accounts receivable increased $4,899,000, compared with $3,080,000 decrease for 2008. Increase in accounts receivable was mainly due to increased sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of the prior year.  Inventory increased by $1,903,000 during 2009, compared to a $1,073,000 increase in inventory for the same period of the prior year.  Higher level inventory was stocked up for sales orders received for the first quarter of 2010.   Deposits, prepayment and other receivables increased by $228,000, compared with the $452,000 decrease for 2008. VAT recoverable decreased $30,000, compared with a $292,000 decrease for 2008.

Accounts payable decreased by $196,000, compared with a $4,013,000 decrease in the 2008. Accruals and other payables increased by $258,000, compared to a 1,274,000 decrease for 2008. Advances from customers decreased by $236,000, compared with an $80,000 increase for 2008. Tax payable decreased $6,000, compared with a decrease of $23,000 for the same period of the prior year. The following summarized the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities on cash flow between 2009 and 2008:

 
38

 

·
$7,979,000 from Accounts receivable (negative impact)

·
$830,000 from inventory(negative impact)

·
$680,000 from deposits, prepayment and other receivable (negative impact)

·
$262,000 from VAT recoverable (negative impact)

·
$3,817,000 from accounts payable (positive impact)

·
$1,532,000 from accruals and other payable (positive impact)

·
$316,000 from advance from customers (negative impact)

·
$17,000 from taxes payable (positive impact)

The total impact from above non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities was approximately $4.7 million (negative impact).

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $241,000 for 2009, a decrease of $3,559,000, or 94%, compared to $3.8 million in 2008. During 2008, the Company paid $1.2 million as acquisition consideration of ND and Dongguan S&T and paid $2.6 million to purchase plant, property and equipment, but the Company only paid $110,000 as acquisition consideration and $160,000 to purchase plant, property and equipment in 2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $649,000 for 2009, compared with $4,554,000 for 2008. Net proceeds from bank loan were $1.5 million and $4.4 million for 2009 and 2008 respectively. Capital from non-controlling interest was $738,000 in 2008 compared with none in 2009. The Company repurchased its common stocks for a total sum of $245,000 during 2008 but did not repurchase any stock in 2009. Repayment to related parties was $691,000 and $727,000 during 2009 and 2008, respectively. The prepaid deposit for long-term loan was $440,000 in 2009, which was not refundable by the Bank. As an exchange of loan facilities with a commercial bank, the Company had to make a deposit of $4.34 million as collateral, which reduced the fund sources available to the Company.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's, the “SEC”, rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its chief executive officer, the “CEO”, and chief financial officer, the “CFO”, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, the “Form 10-K”, the Company carried out an evaluation as of December 31, 2009, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as of December 31, 2009 the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses described below under “Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”

To address these material weaknesses, the Company performed additional analyses and other procedures, described below under the subheading “Interim Measures”, to ensure that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, “GAAP”. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this Form 10-K does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the periods covered by this report.

(b)
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as such term is defined in Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Management has conducted an assessment, including testing, of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making its assessment, management used the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting have been identified as of December 31, 2009. In light of the material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009.

1.
Entity level material weaknesses-control environment

In the definitions under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, “A key control is a control that, if it fails, means there is at least a reasonable likelihood that a material error in the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis”.

The Company did not have an appropriate level of control consciousness as it relates to the establishment and maintenance of policies and procedures with respect to key internal controls. Effective controls were not designed and in place over the process related to identifying and accumulating all required information to ensure the completeness and accuracy of consolidated financial statements and disclosures as required by Regulation S-X:-

·
Control over Information and Communication.   The Company lacks effective communication of the importance of internal control over financial reporting across its structure, and management failed to set adequate tone to increase the awareness of control consciousness.
·
Control environment.   The Company lacks an effective anti-fraud program, including an effective whistle-blower program, designed to detect and prevent fraud.   The Company fails to conduct consistent background checks of personnel in positions of responsibility and establish an ongoing program to manage identified fraud risks.

 
40

 

2.
Insufficient resources for US GAAP compliance

The Company currently lacks finance and accounting personnel who possess sufficient skills and experience to ensure that all transactions are accounted for in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, the Company does not have sufficient internal financial policies and procedures to ensure that the existing personnel are capable of fulfilling the requirements of US GAAP reporting. Amongst those deficiencies, revenue and cost recognition were affected most as evidenced by their significant adjustments as compared to the Company’s preliminary consolidated financial statements.

3.
Ineffective information technology general control

The Company currently does not have any formal documentation on the information technology general controls, including program development, program changes, computer operations and access to programs and data, which would have an impact on application-level controls and financial statements:-

(i)
Impact on application-level controls

Many control procedures are programmed into an entity’s computer system. For example, the process of matching a vendor to a database of preapproved vendors may be completely computerized. A user may submit an invoice for payment, the computer performs the match, and, if the vendor is on the list, processing is allowed to continue. The user is informed only when the computer detects an error, namely, that the vendor has not been preapproved. It is then the user’s responsibility to take the appropriate follow-up action. Again, the follow-up of the identified errors is a critical component of the control.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of computer application controls will depend on the effectiveness of relevant computer general controls, including:-

·      Systems development. The application was properly developed and tested to make sure that the control functions as designed.

·      Access. Access to the program is monitored to ensure that unauthorized changes to the program cannot be made.

The control objectives for computer application controls are the same as the objectives for manual controls—information must remain complete and accurate at all phases, from initiation (data input) through processing.

(ii)     Impact on financial statements

When designing the documentation of internal control, the Company is considering to include the following functional features in the future:-

·      Maintainability. The documentation should facilitate easy updating and maintenance as business processes and controls change over time.

·      Ease of review. The documentation of internal control should be designed in a user-friendly fashion. For compliance purposes, the project team is the primary user, and so the documentation should allow for these individuals to:-

-      Easily assess the effectiveness of the design of internal control

-      Facilitate the design of tests of controls

·      Information gathering. To create new or update existing documentation will require people to gather information about the Company’s business processes and controls. The documentation methods should recognize this need and, to the extent possible, make it easy to gather and input the information required to create appropriate documentation.

·      Scalability. The documentation techniques should be equally adept at handling processes with many control points and those with only a few.

PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5 requires the following information to be included in the documentation of routine transactions:-

 
41

 
 
-      The design of controls over all relevant assertions related to all significant accounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The documentation should include the five components of internal control over financial reporting.

-      Information about how significant transactions are initiated, authorized, recorded, processed, and reported.

-      Sufficient information about the flow of transactions to identify the points at which material misstatements due to error or fraud could occur.

-      Controls designed to prevent or detect fraud, including who performs the controls and the related segregation of duties.

Remediation Measures of Material Weaknesses

To remediate the material weaknesses described above in “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, the Company has implemented or planned to implement the following measures, and will continue to evaluate and may in the future implement additional measures:-

1.
The Company planned remediation measures of hiring and training of personnel who will address these material weaknesses generally as it will have sufficient personnel with knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements;

2.
The Audit Committee and management will prioritize improvement of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company has a comprehensive training program in financial reporting on U.S.   GAAP internally and the Company’s staff have enrolled in professional accounting seminars.

3.
The Company continues to retain the services of outside U.S. counselor to advise on SEC disclosure requirements and at the same time, the Company has the staff training plan on the disclosure requirement either internally or enrolment in professional courses.

4.
The Company is in the progress of implementing an ERP system which it considered would enable it to enhance its management capability on monitoring the Company's business operations. Besides, the Company is in the process of establishing a comprehensive IT short term development plan and long term strategic plan that are appropriately aligned with business objectives and include the following:

¨
IT short term development plan: Business departments will initialize the information technology requests in accordance with their business workflow, and senior management will develop implementation plans and procedures;
 
¨
IT long term strategic plan: IT long term strategic plan development is based on corporate strategic requirement, including the IT goal and mission, guidance, objectives and the Company’s actions.   The IT mission and guidance drive how IT should implement and align with the Company’s strategic goals; and
 
¨
Senior management of the Company will review and approve the IT strategic plan.

The Company also planned to develop an appropriate IT Organization and Relationships program to regulate IT organizational structure that adequately supports critical systems and segregation of duties, including the following:

¨
IT managers to have adequate knowledge and experience to fulfill their responsibilities to deliver high quality IT services;
 
¨
Significant IT processes, controls and activities documented;

¨
Job roles and responsibilities within the IT organization clearly defined and documented;
 
¨
IT personnel to understand and accept their responsibilities regarding internal controls; and

¨
IT management to implement a division of roles and responsibilities, segregation of duties, that reasonably prevents a single individual from subverting a critical process.

 
42

 
 
The overall ERP implementation was performed on a continuous basis during 2009. To cope with the operation and control requirements, new modules of MRP and product cost control were implemented, and together with the above mentioned policies and procedures, will be completed before September 2010.

Subsequent to year end, the Company has taken the following actions to remedy the material weaknesses:-

To compensate for the lack of effective communication across the departments, meetings were held regularly to review the progress of the internal control implementation and remedial actions were taken. For example, the essential workflows and information were circularized on the Office Automation System to all employees. Simultaneously, training courses were conducted regularly to enhance the importance of internal controls.

Preventive and detective controls on anti-fraud

An Anti-fraud program was designed to prevent and detect kick-backs on procurement. The prohibition on fraud was clearly defined in the Company’s staff handbook and the Company encourages the whistle-blowers plan and checks were imposed by internal audit departments to investigate any possible frauds and irregularities.

Effective from the end of 2007, the Company has implemented the ERP system which includes financial reporting module and supply chain management module. It is an integrated system which currently allows the Company to generate a great deal of financial and operational information in a timely fashion to facilitate strict monitor of business transactions. However, the Company did not possess high level of formal documentation on the information technology general controls (ITGC), including program development, program changes, computer operations, and access to programs and data. Consequently, it might lessen the reliability and timeliness of the application control, including input and output control, processing control and eventually it might affect the financial statements generated from the system.

Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Company is taking steps to document the IT general control, including the systematic control system amendments and establishment of database defaults. All these were to ensure the application system ongoing effectiveness.

The Company believes that it is taking the steps necessary for remediation of the material weaknesses identified above, and it will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and to make any changes that its management deems appropriate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(c) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting:

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
The Company’s Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve the annual compensation and compensation procedures for the executive officers of the Company. The primary goals of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors with respect to executive compensation are to attract and retain the most talented and dedicated executives possible and to align executives’ incentives with stockholder value creation. The Compensation Committee evaluates individual executive performance with a goal of setting compensation at levels the committee believes are comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development operating in similar industry while taking into account the Company’s relative performance and its own strategic goals.
 
The Company has not retained a compensation consultant to review its policies and procedures with respect to executive compensation. The Company conducts an annual review of the aggregate level of its executive compensation, as well as the mix of elements used to compensate its executive officers. Based on the compensations committee general industry knowledge of various companies in the electronics industry, the Company believes the salaries and bonuses of the key officers and employees of Diguang are fair and reasonable.

Elements of Compensation
 
Executive compensation consists of following elements:
 
Base Salary. Base salaries for the Company’s executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions. Generally, the Company believes that executive base salaries should be targeted near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, in line with the Company’s compensation philosophy. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. The last meeting of the Compensation Committee was held on October 15, 2009.

Discretionary Annual Bonus. The Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary annual bonuses to the Company’s executive officers under the Compensation Committee Charter. So far, no discretionary bonus has been awarded. Bonuses, if they are awarded, are intended to compensate officers for achieving financial and operational goals and for achieving individual annual performance objectives. These objectives vary depending on the individual executive, but relate generally to strategic factors such as the financial performance, results of operation and per share performance of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Company’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer are eligible for a discretionary annual bonus, the specific amount of which will be determined by the Compensation Committee. The actual amount of discretionary bonus is determined following a review of each executive’s individual performance and contribution to the Company’s strategic goals conducted during the first quarter of each fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has not fixed a maximum payout for any officers’ annual discretionary bonus.
 
Long-Term Incentive Program. The Company believes that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages such performance by its key employees through the use of stock options. The Company’s stock compensation plan has been established to provide certain of the Company’s employees with incentives to help align those employees’ interests with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the use of stock options offers the best approach to achieving the Company’s compensation goals. The Company has not adopted stock ownership guidelines, and its stock compensation plan has provided the principal method for its key employees to acquire equity interests in the Company. The Company believes that the annual aggregate value of these awards should be set near competitive median levels for comparable companies.

Options . The Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Company to grant options to purchase shares of common stock to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. The Company’s Compensation Committee was the administrator of the stock option plan until the authority was delegated by the Board to the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer, Song Hong in 2007 and then to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Song Yi in 2008. Stock option grants were made on February 25, 2006 or at the commencement of employment. The board of directors reviewed and approved the stock option to the Company’s key employees, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and the Company’s independent directors on February 25, 2006 and the granting of stock options subsequent to that was administered and approved by the Compensation Committee, based upon a review of the competitive compensation of key officers and key employees, its assessment of individual performance, a review of each executive’s existing long-term incentives, and retention considerations. In 2006, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, the only named executive officer at that time, was awarded stock options in the amounts indicated in the section entitled “Grants of Plan Based Awards”. These grants were made to encourage an ownership culture among the Company’s employees. The Chief Executive Officer has not been granted any stock options. In 2007, the Company’s two of three current independent directors were awarded stock options. The Company’s current Chief Financial Officer was granted with 20,000 shares of option on March 1, 2007, with an exercise price of $5 per share, which vest over four years in equal installments on the following four succeeding anniversaries of the grant date; the Chief Operating Officer was granted with 300,000 shares of option on December 17, 2008, with an exercise price of $0.10 per share, which vest quarterly at the beginning of each quarter over three years starting from January 1, 2009. Please refer to “Grants of Plan Based Awards”.

In order to motivate the Company’s employees to achieve the fixed operation targets in 2009, on December 9, 2008 the board approved the granting of the Incentive Option Shares in 2009 to the employees of the Company, totaling up to 548,000 shares. The actual number of stock options to be granted to the employees is connected with his or her annual target achievements and responsible projections, and the person who can achieve all the annual achievements will be entitled to all the granted stock options, and the person who partially achieves the annual achievements will be entitled to the partial granted stock options. If the employee fails to achieve the target completely, no stock options would be granted. Based on the employee’s annual target achievements, the respective stock options shall be granted as to 25% of the individual’s total entitled stock options (shares) on each of the first four anniversaries of the vesting commencement date.

On July 15, 2007, the Company entered into a two year Consultancy Agreement with Mr. Chen Min. On July 10, 2009, just before termination of the Consultancy Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company granted 50,000 shares of stock option to Mr. Chen Min for the past consulting service rendered. The 50,000 shares of stock option vested on the grant date and the option may be exercised for sixty months after termination of the above mentioned Consultancy Agreement.

2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Company to grant incentive stock option, nonstatutory stock option, stock options, cash awards and stock awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. Mr. Song Yi, the Company’s chief executive officer is the administrator of the plan. If and when stock option awards are granted, they will be made as per the approval of the board of directors, for which the vesting commencement date will be the first day of the month in the year and, occasionally, to meet other special retention or performance objectives. Mr. Song Yi will provide the stock option award plans to the Compensation Committee for review on the executive officers and other key employees, etc. based upon the competitive compensation of the key officers and the key employees, its assessment of individual performance, a review of each executive’s existing long-term incentives, and retention considerations. Periodic stock option award plan to eligible employees, etc. will be regularly prepared by Mr. Song Yi for the approval of the board of directors.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Company currently does not have any Stock Appreciation Rights Plan that authorizes it to grant stock appreciation rights.
 
Other Compensation. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer who were parties to employment agreements prior to the filing of this annual report will continue to be parties to such employment agreements in their current form until such time as the Compensation Committee determines in its discretion that revisions to such employment agreements are advisable. There has been no employment agreement with the Company’s previous chief financial officer. Other than the annual salary stipulated in the employment agreements of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer and the bonus that may be awarded to them at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and other than the annual salary and the stock options granted to the Company’s chief financial officer, chief operating officer and key employees, the Company does not have any other benefits and perquisites for its executive officers; however, the Compensation Committee in its discretion may provide benefits and perquisites to these executive officers if it deems it advisable. The Company currently has no plans to change the employment agreements (except as required by law or as required to clarify the benefits to which its executive officers are entitled as set forth herein) or to extend benefits and perquisites.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange, and as described above, the Company assumed Diguang’s 2006 Option Plan, which includes a total of 1,500,000 shares. Employees, as well as officers and directors, will be eligible to receive shares under Diguang’s 2006 Option Plan.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
 
Transaction with management and others

As part of the Share Exchange, Sino Olympics received 17,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for its shares of Diguang Holdings’ common stock. Yi Song and Hong Song, two of the Company’s officers and directors as of the close of the Share Exchange, own Sino Olympics.
 
On April 21, 2006, the Company entered into an option agreement with two of its major shareholders and corporate officers, Yi Song, President and CEO, and Hong Song, COO, to obtain an option to acquire the interest held by the Song Brothers in North Diamond, which is a British Virgin Islands based company. North Diamond established a wholly-owned subsidiary named Dihao Electronic (Yangzhou) Co., Ltd. in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China on June 11, 2004, with registered capital of $5 million. This wholly-owned foreign enterprise, or “WOFE”, in China started operation in early 2006.

Sino Olympics committed to contribute $3.25 million, accounting for 65% interest, to North Diamond and the other investors committed to contribute $1.75 million, accounting for a 35% interest, to North Diamond. As of June 30, 2006, Sino Olympics has contributed capital of $1 million, increasing its capital contribution up to $1.4875 million, accounting for a 59.5% interest. The other investors contributed $1.0125 million, accounting for a 40.5% interest in North Diamond. On September 19, 2006, Sino Olympics contributed another $392,857. By doing so, it obtained the expected 65% equity ownership of North Diamond before exercising the purchase option. On September 19, 2006, the 65% versus 35% equity interest in North Diamond satisfied the original capital commitment.

Pursuant to the signed option agreement, the Company had the right to acquire the 32.5% interest held by the Song Brothers in North Diamond, in exchange for cash payment of $487,500 plus interest at 6% per annum from the date of capital contributed to the date of acquisition actually taken place. The Company also obtained an option to acquire the entire 65% interest from Sino Olympics with the expectation that the total investment could reach $3.25 million plus interest at 6% per annum from the date at which the Song brothers contributed their capital into North Diamond to the date the Company exercises the acquisition option. If the Company exercises, solely based on the Company’s discretion, the aforementioned option, the Company would assume the obligation to contribute $3.25 million of the registered capital of $5 million into this WOFE.

On May 12, 2006, the option agreement mentioned above was amended. Pursuant to the new purchase option agreement, the purchase price for the equity Interest and the additional 32.5% interest should be the amount paid by Optionor for the Equity Interest and $487,500, plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum which should be applied to both of the equity Interest and the additional 32.5% interest, and assumption of any remaining obligation of Optionor to contribute the registered capital to North Diamond. The interest at the rate of 6% per annum shall commence on the date of payment made by Optionor towards its registered capital of North Diamond and shall end on the date of the Exercise Notice.

On January 3, 2007, the Company exercised the option and the purchase price determined in accordance with the Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement was $1,977,864, of which $97,507 was interest paid at an interest rate at 6%.

On July 18, 2006, Yi Song entered into a license agreement with the Company to grant the Company the right to use his patents free of charge pending the transfer of the patents to us.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy
 
During fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent auditor and for the prohibition of certain services from being provided by the independent auditor. The Company may not engage the Company’s independent auditor to render any audit or non-audit service unless the service is approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement to render the service is entered into pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to the Company by the independent auditor during the fiscal year.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diguang International Development Co., Ltd (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in a two-year period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diguang International Development Co., Ltd, as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in a two-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2 ─ SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All of the consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

The Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of PRC, is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the operations of five subsidiaries, Diguang Electronics, Dihao, Wuhan Diguang, Dongguan Diguang S&T and Shenzhen Optimum, are conducted. Hong Kong dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the operations of Well Planner are conducted. The Company uses the United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”) for financial reporting purposes.

The Company translates the above six subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of subsidiaries’ financial statements from the functional currency into U.S. dollars are recorded in shareholders’ equity as part of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) – translation adjustments. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are reflected in the statements of income for the reporting periods.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue generated from sales of backlight units to customers is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the products has occurred, the significant risks and rewards of the ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company will sign sales order (or purchase order prepared by customers) with customers for each sales transaction. A sales order signed by both parties is deemed to be persuasive evidence for revenue recognition. Sales terms of products are usually “FOB destination” and the delivery is deemed to occur when the products have been delivered to the sites prescribed by customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company receives customers’ confirmation of transaction statements. Due to the nature of backlight products, when the products have quality issue, the Company will replace these products and the products with quality issue are brought back. Accordingly, no provision has been made for returnable goods. Revenue presented on the Company’s income statements is net of sales taxes.

Certain sales are subject to the ultimate usage of the products by the Company’s customers. Revenue is not recognized on these transactions until the period in which the Company is able to determine that the products shipped have been used by its customers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 ─ SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Typically credit terms require payment to be made within 90 days of the invoice date. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. The Company maintains its cash accounts at credit worthy financial institutions and closely monitors the movements of its cash positions.

The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. The Company includes any accounts balances that are determined to be uncollectible in the allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available to management, the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 were adequate, respectively. However, actual write-off might exceed the recorded allowance.

The following table presents allowance activities in accounts receivable.

As of December 31, 2009, accounts receivable of RMB2,257,515, equivalent to $330,728, was pledged to China Merchants Bank Jinzhonghuan Branch in exchange of issuance of bank acceptance bills of RMB2,144,640, equivalent to $314,192.

Inventories

Inventories are composed of raw materials and components, work in progress, finished goods and consignment goods, most of which are related to backlight products. The consignment goods are owned by the Company as inventory and are stored at a customer’s place.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (based on weighted average method) and the market. Full amount provisions were made for obsolete inventories which are difficult to estimate future utilization. Once the inventory cost is written down, the written-down costs are treated as a new cost basis for the inventory, and are not adjusted back up to the previous cost basis in future periods. For inventories which will be used in the ordinary course of production or sales, the net realizable value of the inventories is compared with their carrying value, if the net realizable value is lower than the carrying value, a provision for the difference between the net realizable value and the carrying value of the inventories was recognized. Net realizable value is determined based on the most recent selling price of these inventories less the estimated cost to sell.

Plant, Property and Equipment

Properties and equipment are recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The Amount of depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives and the remaining contractual life related to leasehold improvements, as follows:

Land usage right
 
48.5, 50 years
Plant and office building
 
20, 50 yeas
Machinery and equipment
 
5-10 years
Furniture and office equipment
 
5 years
Software
 
2-5 years
Vehicles
 
5-10 years
Leasehold improvement
 
5 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred, whereas betterment and renewals are generally capitalized in their respective property accounts. When an item is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed and the resulting gain or loss is recognized and reflected as an item before operating income (loss).

The Chinese government owns all of the parcels of land on which the Company’s plants are built. In the PRC, land usage rights for commercial purposes are granted by the PRC government typically for a term of 40-50 years. The Company is required to pay a lump sum of money to the State Land and Resource Ministry of the applicable locality to acquire such rights. The Company capitalizes the lump sum of money paid and amortizes these land usage rights by using the straight line method over the term of the land use license granted by the applicable governmental authority.

Construction in progress is stated at cost. The cost accumulation process starts from the time the construction project is set-up and ends at the time the project has been put into service and all regulatory permits and approvals have been received. The interest costs incurred for these construction projects have been determined to be insignificant by management. No interest has been capitalized during the reporting period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to vendors, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The fair value of amounts due from or paid to related parties and stockholders are reasonable estimates of their fair value since the amounts will be collected and paid off in a period less than one year.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Impairment of Financial Investments

The Company accounts for its investments in common stocks using the cost method. Other than temporary impairment loss is recognized when a series of operating losses of an investee or other factors indicate a decrease in value of investments.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses are offset against government subsidiaries received for supporting research and development efforts and other revenue.

Value Added Tax

Diguang Electronics, Dihao, Wuhan Diguang, Dongguan Diguang S&T and Shenzhen Optimum are subject to value added tax (VAT) imposed by the PRC government on its domestic product sales. VAT rate for the Company is 17%. The input VAT can be offset against the output VAT. VAT payable or receivable balance presented on the Company’s balance sheets represents either the input VAT less than or larger than the output VAT. The debit balance represents a credit against future collection of output VAT instead of a receivable.

Share-Based Payments

The Company receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity securities of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity securities or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity securities. The Company uses a fair-value-based method to calculate and account for above mentioned transactions.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets when it accounts for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.

Diguang Electronics is registered in Shenzhen and was subject to a favorable income tax rate at 15% compared to a statutory income tax rate of 33%, 30% for the central government and 3% for the local government. And Diguang Electronics has been deemed a high-tech company by Shenzhen Bureau of Science, Technology & Information. Under this category, Diguang Electronics has been entitled to enjoy a 50% exemption from enterprise income tax at the rate of 15% for the years from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2006. Diguang Electronics was subject to an income tax rate of 15% since January 1, 2007 according to the old tax law. A newly enacted enterprise income tax law (“EIT Law”) was effective January 1, 2008. The EIT Law imposes a unified EIT of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign invested enterprises unless these foreign investment enterprises qualify under certain grand-father rules. For enterprises like Diguang Electronics which enjoyed a privileged preferential income tax rate of 15% under the old tax law, the applicable income tax rate should transit to 25% in 5 years, that is, 18% in the year ended December 31, 2008, 20%, 22%, 24% and 25% in the following four years ending December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and 25% ever after. So the applicable income tax rate for Diguang Electronics is 20% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Well Planner is subject to an income tax rate at 17.5% under Hong Kong Inland Revenue jurisdiction. However, Well Planner does not have Hong Kong sourced income. In accordance with Hong Kong tax regulation, Well Planner has not been taxed since its inception.

Diguang Technology is a BVI registered company. There is no income tax for the company domiciled in the BVI. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements do not present any income tax provision related to the British Virgin Islands tax jurisdiction.

Dihao is registered in Yangzhou and has been deemed a high-tech company by Yangzhou Bureau of Science, Technology and Information. Under this category, Dihao was entitled to enjoy a 100% exemption of corporate income tax for the two years from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and a 50% exemption of corporate income tax for the following three years from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010 in accordance with the preferential rules established by Yangzhou local tax authority on August 2, 1999. Under the new EIT Law, the income tax rate for Dihao is 25%; the applicable income tax rate for Dihao is 12.5% for the three years ending December 31, 2010.

Wuhan Diguang is registered in Wuhan. As a manufacturing company with foreign investment set up before March 16, 2007, Wuhan Diguang was entitled to enjoy a 100% exemption of corporate income tax for the first two years of operations with a profit position and a 50% exemption of corporate income tax for the following three years. After the five-year exemption period, Wuhan Diguang will be subject to the unified income tax rate of 25% in accordance with the new EIT Law. It is the second year for Wuhan Diguang to enjoy 100% exemption of income tax in 2009.

Dongguan Diguang S&T is registered in Dongguan of Guangdong Province and is entitled to enjoy a 100% exemption of corporate income tax for the first two years of operation and a 50% exemption of corporate income tax for the following is three years and will be subject to the unified income tax rate of 25% after the five-year exemption period. Dongguan Diguang S&T has used up its two years’ 100% exemption in 2008 and 2007, even though it suffered losses in these two years. It is the first of year for Dongguan Diguang S&T to enjoy 50% exemption of income tax in 2009.
 
Shenzhen Optimum is registered at Shenzhen of Guangdong Province. No exemption was granted to Shenzhen Optimum and it is subject to the unified income tax rate of 25%. Diguang International Development Co., Ltd. was established under the laws of the State of Nevada and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and one state income tax. For U.S. income tax purposes no provision has been made for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of overseas subsidiaries with which the Company intends to continue to reinvest. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional tax that might be payable on the foreign earnings if they were remitted as dividends, or lent to the Company, or if the Company should sell its stock in the subsidiary. The predecessor company accumulated certain net operation loss carry forwards; however, due to the changes in ownership, the use of these net operation loss carry forwards may be limited in accordance with the U.S. tax laws.
 
Because the consolidated financial statements were based on the respective entities’ historical financial statements, the respective effective income tax rate for the periods reported represents the effect of actual income tax provisions incurred to Diguang Electronics, Dihao, Wuhan Diguang, Dongguan Diguang S&T, Shenzhen Optimum and Diguang International Development Co., Ltd.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification 220, Comprehen sive Income , which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of income and comprehensive income. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and all changes to stockholders’ equity except those due to investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar to fully diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Retained Earnings

It is the intention of the Company to reinvest earnings generated from the operations of its foreign subsidiaries and retained in those foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes that would result if such earnings were repatriated. These taxes are undeterminable at this time. The amount of earnings retained in foreign subsidiaries was $9,913,310 and $4,954,697 of December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

FASB ASU 2009-05
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-05, "Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value," which amends the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to provide guidance on fair value measurement of liabilities. If a quoted price in an active market is not available for an identical liability, ASU 2009-05 requires companies to compute fair value by using quoted prices for an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as an asset or another valuation technique that is consistent with the guidance in ASC 820. ASU 2009-05 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after its issuance. The Company will adopt this ASU 2009-05 on January 1, 2010 and expects that the adoption will not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
FASB ASU 2009-13
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (ASU 2009-13). This update removes the criterion that entities must use objective and reliable evidence of fair value in separately accounting for deliverables and provides entities with a hierarchy of evidence that must be considered when allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance also requires entities to allocate arrangement consideration to the separate units of accounting based on the deliverables’ relative selling price. The provisions will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in 2011 and must be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2009-13.
 
FASB ASU 2009-17

In November 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810) – Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” The ASU changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. These provisions are effective January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted. Adoption of these provisions is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 ─ RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

Stockholders

During the process of acquiring 100% interest of Dongguan Diguang S&T, Sino Olympics Industrial Limited (Sino Olympics) owns 92% of interest and Shenzhen Diguang Engine & Equipment owns the remaining 8% of interest at Dongguan Diguang S&T. Accordingly, the entire consideration of $4.2 million was allocated $3,864,000 to Sino Olympics and $336,000 to Shenzhen Diguang Engine & Equipment. Based on the fact that Mr. Song brothers are the owners of both Sino Olympics and Shenzhen Diguang Engine & Equipment, the entire consideration of the $4.2 million was treated as amount due to Mr. Song Brothers. Of the $4.2 million acquisition price, $2 million was paid in cash before the end of 2007 and the remaining balance of $2.2 million was recorded as a portion of liabilities of the Company.

The $2.2 million should be repaid through four installment payments on June 30, 2008, December   31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 9 ─ EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

Under China laws and regulations, Diguang Electronics is required to appropriate a portion of its retained earnings to a general reserve, which cannot be used for dividend distribution purpose. In the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, the appropriation was $164,609 and 0, respectively, which was deemed a non-cash transaction for cash flow statement purpose.
 
In accordance with the signed Share Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Diguang International Holdings Limited will be granted certain incentive shares if the Company (post reverse merger) meets certain financial performance criteria. The incentive shares and financial performance criteria are as follows:

   
2008

Sino Olympics Industries Limited
    2,000,000       2,000,000  
After-tax Profit Target (in millions) (1)
  $ 31.9     $ 43.1  

(1) After-tax profit targets shall be the income from operations, less taxes paid or payable with regard to such income, excluding the effect on income from operations, if any, resulting from issuance of Incentive Shares in any year.

The Company accounts for the transactions of issuing these incentive shares based on the fair value on the grant date. The Company assesses whether it is probable at the grant date the awards would be earned and if it is probably the expense would be recorded over the period (which in this case is specified as the shareholders of Diguang International Development Co., Ltd. can earn any of the amounts each year). The after-tax profit target for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively, had not been met and the Company did not record any share-based compensation for Song Brothers during this reporting period.

In accordance with the board resolution of the Company dated February 21, 2007, the Company appointed Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, (“Chardan”), as the agent to purchase back up to $5 million of the Company’s common shares on behalf of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b-18 and 10b-5. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had repurchased 521,000 shares of stock at an average price of $1.29 per share, resulting in 22,072,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2008. No share was repurchased during 2009. The total repurchased shares at cost were presented in line of treasury stock in the stockholders’ equity section on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and 2009.

NOTE 10 ─ STOCK OPTIONS

The Company recognized the share-based compensation cost based on the estimated grant-date fair value. There were no stock options issued before January 1, 2006.

From February 25, 2006 to December 31, 2009, the Company issued total 1,504,000 shares of stock option with total fair value of $6,218,888. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 50,000 shares of stock option at $0.51 per share with a fair value of $24,500; and 848,000 shares were issued during the year ended December 31, 2008 with total fair value of $90,800, among which, 548,000 shares were at $0.12 per share, and 300,000 shares were at $0.10 per share, respectively.

NOTE 10 ─ STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)

The share-based compensation recognized for stock options granted was $571,505 and $281,175 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. No tax benefit was recognized for the share-based compensation due to the stock options granted. The total intrinsic value of warrants and options exercised during the years ended December 31, 28 and 2009, was approximately $0, and $0, respectively, as no stock options were exercised in each respective year since they were granted.

Assumptions
 
The disclosure of the above fair value for these awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below:

   
Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2009
 
             
Expected volatility
 
129.64% to 204.74%
      271.41 %
Weighted average volatility
    N/A       N/A  
Expected life
 
7 years
   
2.5 years
 
Risk free interest rate
 
0.98% to 3.75%
      1.315 %

The expected volatilities are essentially based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The observation was made on a daily basis. The periods of observation covered were from March 17, 2006 through the grant day for all the options granted in 2008 and 2009. The expected terms of stock options are based on the average vesting period and the contractual life of stock options granted.

The risk-free rates are consistent with the expected terms of stock option and based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate of its stock options was 6.13%.

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options to its employees up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price per share equal to the five-day average share price before the Board of Directors’ approval. These options have up to ten-year contractual life term.

On July 15, 2007, the Company entered into a two years Consultancy Agreement with Mr. Chen Min. On July 10, 2009, just before termination of the Consultancy Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company granted 50,000 shares of stock option to Mr. Chen Min for the past consulting service rendered. The 50,000 shares of stock option vested on the grant date and the option may be exercised for sixty months after termination of the above mentioned Consultancy Agreement. The share option has a fair value of $24,500 and was recognized as compensation cost immediately upon the granting.

The trading price of the Company stock at December 31, 2008 and 2009 was $0.06, and $0.26 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the exercise price of 499,917 shares of outstanding stock option was higher than the trading price of the Company’s common stock and did not have any intrinsic value; the excise price of the other 724,000 shares granted in December 2008 was lower than trading price and reported intrinsic value. Intrinsic value for outstanding and exercisable options as of December 31, 2009 was $107,360 and $30,840, respectively.

As of December 31, 2009, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation based on fair value on the granting date related to non-vested stock options was $96,409. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of three years.
