Monday March 24, 8:00 am ET

SHENZHEN, China, March 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Display Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CDYT - News; ''China Display'', or ''the Company''), a leading manufacturer of optoelectronic products, specializing in small- to mid-sized LED and CCFL backlight units for LCD displays in China, today reported record financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007.

    Fourth Quarter 2007 Highlights
    -- Revenues increased 127.6% year-over-year to a record $12.1 million
    -- Gross profits rose 151.0% from last year to $3.0 million, representing
       24.5% of sales
    -- Income from operations was up 220.9% versus last year to $2.0 million

       compared to $0.05 in the comparable quarter of 2006

"During the quarter we continued to see strength in our sales and net income growth driven by an increase in demand for our products from small- screen LCD module manufacturers. Our growth was also driven by our successful market expansion efforts in both foreign and domestic markets,'' said Mr. Lawrence Chan, CEO of China Display Technologies. "We enter 2008 with great optimism. We will continue our efforts to achieve greater market share and improve our product mix to create more value for our shareholders."

Fourth Quarter 2007 Results

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $12.1 million, up 127.6% as compared to $5.3 million for the same period of 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased demand for BLU products from small screen liquid crystal display manufacturers and the Company's successful market expansion efforts.

Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $9.1 million. Gross profit was up 151.0% to $3.0 million, representing gross margins of 24.5% compared to $1.2 million and 22.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006, respectively. Gross margins increased as a result of the Company's improved operational management and cost controls.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $0.9 million, up 70.5% from the same period in 2006, which was primarily attributable to increased selling expenses. During the quarter, selling expenses increased to $0.3 million in an effort to expand the Company's market share and promote new products, such as backlights for motor vehicle installations. Research and development expenses rose 125.0% compared to the same period of 2006, which reflected increased efforts to develop new types of backlight products through the acquisition of the relevant know how and technology. General and administrative expenses decreased slightly.

Income from operations increased 220.9% to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, representing operating margins of 16.8%, as compared to $0.6 million and 11.9% in the same period of 2006.

Net interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $77,645 compared to $111 of net interest income for the comparable period of 2006, as a result of a new short term bank loan in 2007.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a $0.16 million provision for income taxes as a result of the 50% tax holiday effective in 2007, 2008 and 2009 under Chinese tax law. The company received a 100% tax holiday for 2005 and 2006 for the enterprise income tax.

As a result of the foregoing, net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $1.8 million or $0.15 per share basic, an increase of 183.2% from $0.6 million, or $0.05 per share basic for the comparable period of 2006. The earnings per share diluted were $0.12, up 140% from $0.05 per share diluted last year.

Full Year 2007 Results

Revenue for the fiscal year 2007 increased 105.0% from 2006 to $32.5 million. Gross profits rose 114.0% in the same period to $7.7 million, representing gross margins of 23.8%. Operating expenses increased 92.0% to $2.3 million as a result of increased marketing efforts as well as additional expenses related to the Company's share exchange. Income from operations of 2007 rose 125.0% over the comparable period in 2006 to $5.4 million, representing operating margins of 16.7%. Net income for the year 2007 was $4.8 million, up 100.7% from last year. After deducting the $2.2 million non- cash deemed preferred stock dividend, net income available to common stockholders was approximately $2.7 million, or $0.23 per share (basic) and $0.17 per share (diluted).

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2007, China Display had $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, as well as approximately $2.0 million in restricted cash. Working capital by the end of 2007 was approximately $9 million, compared to $2.0 million in the prior year. Accounts receivable was $5.3 million, or 29.8% of current assets, compared to $1.7 million, or 46.3% of current assets at December 31, 2006. The Company had $5.6 million of a 90-day revolving loan outstanding, with interest rates ranging from 6.44% to 9.50%. Shareholder's equity at the end of 2007 stood at $12.6 million compared to $3.9 million at the end of 2006.

During the year 2007, cash flow used in operations amounted $3.4 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.1 million in the year 2006. Cash for investing activities was $1.8 million, of which $1.1 million was used to purchase property and equipment.

Business Outlook

China Display produces backlights for products using LED light source technology, which allows for a higher level of 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% per year in recent years. The market is large and growing. In the Displaybank TFT-LCD shipment result report, shipments of large-size TFT-LCD panels, 10-inch and larger, jumped by 41% from 2006 to 393.47 million units in 2007, and shipment area also soared by 57.4% to 5,276 million square meters (Msqm). Revenues also reached $71.7 billion, up 35.7% from the previous year, and according to Stanley Jeong, IDC research manager, Global TFT-LCD Research, the revenue is projected to increase to $94 billion by 2010. Backlight units are one of the most critical components used in LCDs, and account for 20% to 30% of the overall cost of an LCD.

China Display focuses on small- to medium-size LED backlight unit manufacturing; mobile phone displays continue to represent the majority of shipments in the small- to medium-sized category. While this market remains very attractive and profitable, the Company is now developing the large-size back lighting unit, targeting the LCD-TV market which is considered to enjoy a relatively high profit margin.

"We continue to benefit from a rapidly growing market for backlight unit products, resulting from increased consumption of end products and expanded applications for LCDs on all kinds of machines and electronics,'' said Mr. Lawrence Chan, CEO of China Display, ''In addition, we have taken advantage of the favorable industry environment to improve our production facilities and to accelerate the pace of developing new products, such as the large sized backlight unit.''
