2007 Holiday Letter from the CEO, Norman Tu

December, 2007

Dear Friends,

As I reflect on 25 years in business, I realize how very fortunate we are to have loyal customers like you. I always tell our employees that although DCL may pay their salaries technically, it is our customers who are responsible for our salaries, the rent and the light bills. We appreciate your business. It is the commitment of our entire DCL organization to continue to provide services that exceed your expectations.

2007 was a transitional year for DCL. We focused our efforts on the fulfillment side of the business, which grew 35%. We are known to provide high-level fulfillment services in the software industry; however, this past year we signed up several non-traditional clients in apparel, consumer electronics, decorative jewelry, sunglasses and medical products. Over the years, we have invested millions of dollars in our IT infrastructure and process flows to be the best in the business. Now that we can leverage our capabilities to industries outside of what is traditionally classified as "high-tech," we are applying these same best business practices and principles to our new customers and new industries. We will continue the focus to diversify our business to other industries while continuing to provide quality service to the software and electronics industries.

This past summer DCL went "Green". We installed a 76-kilowatt (kW) solar system at our headquarters building in Fremont. It will satisfy 36% of our electricity usage and advert over 75 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. My vision is to prove the viability of solar technology as a cost effective way to reduce operating costs, and pass these cost savings to our customers. Over time, DCL is committed to being a "Green Business," and we will continue to integrate solar technology into our current and future planned facilities in order to virtually eliminate on-site electrical consumption. DCL hopes to help set an example for using renewable solar energy, not only for our industry, but also for our community.

On behalf of everyone at DCL, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to working with you in 2008.

Happy Holidays,

Norman Tu,
Chairman & CEO
