This transaction will be highly accretive and launches our company into 2-D animation, movie production, and development of our own original content."

By developing its own original content, China Digital plans to leverage its current production capabilities and believes there is significant market potential as well as the opportunity to expand margins. China Digital expects this acquisition to close within the next few months.

Revenue in the digital animation business was relatively flat with the same period last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as China Digital focused its efforts on the acquisition of Dinv Ares and on developing original content. Results were also tempered by the fact that China Digital is shifting resources away from the Trans World Financial website to focus on its core business of digital animation and movie production.

"With the acquisition of Dinv Ares nearly complete,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we resumed growth heading into the third quarter and our pipeline is solid, providing us good visibility into future quarters. Given our strong balance sheet and clean capital structure, we are well positioned for the future," concluded Mr. Fu.

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $1.2 million versus $1.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Revenue from animation design and development was $877,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],820, compared to $945,000 for the same period last year. Overall gross profit in the second quarter was $537,000 versus $1.2 million in the same period last year, reflecting several lower margin projects and reduced revenue from the Trans World Financial website. Net income was approximately $251,000, or $0.01 per share versus $736,000, or $0.04 per share in the second quarter of last year.

As of December 31, 2009, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million, working capital of $3.4 million, no long-term debt, and shareholders‘ equity of $13.1 million.
