Noting the Company's sympathy with victims of the massiveSichuan
earthquake, and a combined management/employee/Company disaster relief
contribution, Mr. Song's letter points out that none of the Company's
facilities were impaired by the catastrophe.
Mr. Song goes on to outline the Company's achievements in the 2008 first
quarter, which included a 139% increase in net sales compared to the 2007
first quarter, as well as a return to profitability. He also notes that ''the
LCD industry has become extremely competitive in the last few years'' and
articulates strategies to address the challenging industry environment.
These strategies include creation of a consignment model with the
Company's major OEM customers for liquid crystal modules (LCMs). ''We receive
an assured mark-up (gross profit) for a high volume of products,'' Mr. Song
states. ''The OEM bears the risk of raw materials' costs. But there is
another benefit to this strategy: by producing liquid crystal modules for our
OEM customers, we are doing more for them than just making backlights. We are
creating additional value for the customers and securing our role in their
respective manufacturing processes.''
Mr. Song also updates readers on the success of the Company's
restructuring into Strategic Business Units (SBUs), each with its own
independent responsibility to achieve profits, stating, ''In the first quarter
of 2008, all three of our operating regions were not only profitable, but
better prepared to profitably grow their respective operations.''
''One of the most exciting initiatives that we have ever undertaken
recently resulted in a pilot program to supply our LED general lighting
technology to a 6,000 square meter area in Xiangfan, a city of 6.5 million
people and the second largest city inHubei Province,'' Mr. Song states.
''Per the agreement, we will apply our lighting technologies to road and
scenic lighting, as well as provide lighting for government agencies, schools,
hospitals, and commercial buildings in the selected area. Once this model
project is proven successful there is significant potential for broadening the
use of our skills, technologies and solutions...to other areas ofHubei
province and toChina as a whole...Diguang has an opportunity to bring its
leadership in LED general lighting to many other municipalities and government
departments.''
