China Digital Animation Development Reports 74% Revenue Growth and EPS of $0.03 Per Share for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2010


NEW YORK and HARBIN, China, May 18, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Digital Animation Development, Inc. (OTCBB:CHDA) today provided a business update and announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Mr. Fu Qiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report a 74% increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2010 versus the same period last year. This is even more impressive given the fact that our results exclude contributions from our Trans World Financial website operations, which we gradually phased out this year. As we head into the fourth quarter, our new business pipeline is robust. Demand for high-end special effects continues to grow both domestically in China and internationally, and we are extremely well positioned due to our highly skilled team of animation experts, our ability to internally develop talent, and our highly competitive pricing."

China Digital's strategic plan includes expansion into creating original content and entering the movie production arena. To that end, the company is nearing completion of its acquisition of Chongqing Dinv Ares Filming Production Co., Ltd., which has expertise in film production and 2-D animation. On March 15, 2010, China Digital Animation modified the original acquisition agreement whereby it will initially acquire only one of Dinv Ares' subsidiaries, Chongqing Dinv Ares Television Media, Ltd., in exchange for 500,000 shares of common stock rather than 1,000,000 shares as originally agreed to for both subsidiaries.

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $1.7 million versus $966 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Approximately $1.2 million in revenue was derived from animation design and development during the period and $469 thousand in revenue came from the company's participation in the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival during the period. The Trans World Financial website ceased operations prior to the start of the third quarter. Gross profit in the third quarter was $1.2 million versus $824 thousand in the same period last year.  Net income was approximately $691 thousand, or $0.03 per share, versus $463 thousand, or $0.02 per share, in the third quarter of last year.

As of March 31, 2010, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 million, working capital of $6.4 million, no long-term debt, and shareholders' equity of $15.5 million.
