First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

• Net revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $14.5 million, compared to $42.4 million in the same period last year.
• Gross loss for the first quarter of 2013 was $98.5 thousand, compared to a gross profit of $364.7 thousand in the same period last year.
• Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $888.3 thousand compared to a net loss of $865.7 thousand in the same period last year. Earnings per diluted share were $0.02 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $(0.03) in the same period last year.

Mr. Ben Wong , Chief Executive Officer of USmart Mobile Device Inc., commented, "We ended the first quarter of 2013 with a net income of $888.3 thousand thanks to a one-off profit from the disposal of fixed assets in the amount of $1.9 million. The majority of our sales came from selling memory products. With the acquisition of Jussey on September 28, 2012, we have diversified our business interests from a memory components distributor to an IDH (Industrial Design House) focusing on smartphone products. We foresee that our primary business will shift to selling smart phone products."

Mr. Wong continued, "Although the global economic conditions continue to be weak and volatile, there are signs of market recovery for DRAM starting with the second quarter of 2013. Smartphones and tablets are also expected to drive DRAM and NAND flash demands throughout the year which in turn should have a positive impact on our future revenue growth."

Fourth Quarter 2012 Results

• Net revenue of $38.1 million, compared to $73.2 million in the same period last year.
• Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $(1.2) million, compared to $0.9 million in the same period last year. Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was (3.2) %, compared to 1.2% in the same period last year.
• Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $4 million, compared to net loss of $2.3 million in the same period last year. Loss per diluted share was $0.12 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, as compared to a loss of $0.08 in the same period last year.

Mr. Ben Wong, Chief Executive Officer of ACL Semiconductors, commented, "2012 was a significant year in the history of ACL and featured the acquisition of Jussey enabling the Company to tap into the lucrative telecommunications industry. As a result of this acquisition, we expect our primary business to shift to selling smartphone products whereas 2012 sales came mostly from selling memory products."

Mr. Wong continued, "Several key factors will continue to differentiate us from competitors in Hong Kong and PRC. Of the five types of 3G wireless standards in the telecommunication industry, three are adopted in China by the major mobile network carriers, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Mobile. The Company, through USmart and eVision, has access to two of the three 3G wireless standards, namely, W-CDMA and CDMA2000 for its smartphones development. Moreover, eVision has a strong R&D team specializing in the CDMA2000 mobile network. Finally, ATMD - the Company's joint venture with Tomen and one of the largest distributors of Samsung's memory products for Hong Kong and Southern China markets - is expected to be in a highly competitive position compared to other U.S., European, Japanese and Taiwanese memory products manufacturers and distributors."

Mr. Wong concluded, "In 2013, we expect universal NAND flash demand to slightly increase driven by applications such as smartphones, tablets and solid-state drives. However, DRAM revenue is expected to continue to be influenced by global economic conditions."

Third Quarter 2012 Results

• Net revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $49.5 million, as compared to revenue of $74.0 million for the same period last year.

• Operating expenses for the third quarter 2012 were $1.2 million, down from $1.5 million for third quarter 2011. The decrease was mainly due to lower directors' remuneration and entertainment expenses.
• Other income for the third quarter 2012 was $1.5 million, up from other expenses of $90,000 for the same period last year. The year-over-year increase in other income was mainly due to the write back in the 2012 quarter of bad debt provision of $1.6 million.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $1.2 million, compared to a net income of $1.9 million in the same period last year. Earnings per diluted share were $0.04 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.07 in the same period last year.

Mr. Chung-Lun Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACL Semiconductors Inc., commented, "We have strengthened our product design, manufacturing and distribution capabilities with the recent acquisition of USmart, an integrated smartphone component supplier to OEM customers. ACL remains active in the semiconductor components and supply market through ATMD, our joint venture with Tomen Devices."

Mr. Yang concluded, "We believe that we are well positioned to leverage our strong sales and distribution network serving customers across mainland China and penetrating multiple emerging markets inclusive of India, Indonesia,Russia and select countries in Africa. We have a robust R&D team focused on delivering divergent solutions, inclusive of software platforms and other components, to all smartphone buyers."

• Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $1.1 million, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net loss was achieved by improved operating efficiency. Loss per diluted share was$0.04 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to loss per diluted share of $0.10 in the same period last year.

Mr. Chung-Lun Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACL Semiconductors Inc., commented, "We are continuing to diversify our business through acquisitions in order to better position our company for future quarters. Our shareholders remain our top priority in this transformational period. We are excited about the progress we are making in the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Jussey Investments Limited, the owner of 80% equity interest in USmart Electronic Products Limited. This acquisition will position ACL to more effectively coordinate resources and activities, while achieving efficient implementation of memory chips and solutions across the three 'C' market."

Mr. Yang continued, "Although market conditions continue to be weak and volatile, we remain optimistic about the Company's prospects for the second half of the year. Looking forward, we expect NAND Flash sales to increase as ultrabooks, smartphones and tablets are expected to drive demand. At the same time, we anticipate that revenues generated from the DRAM sales will continue to be impacted by global economic conditions."

Mr. Yang concluded, "Since the Company's Samsung business will be gradually transferred to ATMD, the Company expects its net sales will continue to decrease in the coming quarters. Eventually, the Company anticipates that approximately 90% of Samsung products sales will be transferred to ATMD, and the Company will receive 30% of ATMD's net income or loss based upon its ownership interest in ATMD."

ACL SEMICONDUCTORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Unaudited)

HONG KONG, May 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- ACL Semiconductors Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACLO) ("ACL"), a China-based distributor of semiconductor components in Hong Kong and Southern China, today announced that the Board of Directors has approved a 20% stock dividend. The dividend will be payable on May 28, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 14, 2012.  Fractional shares will be paid in cash, which amount will be calculated by multiplying the fractional share interest by the average closing prices for the 10 trading days ending on (and including) May 23, 2012, the third trading day prior to the Payment Date.

"We deeply appreciate the loyalty of our investors and are compelled to show our gratitude by declaring a one-for-five stock dividend. This move increases the number of shares outstanding and should contribute to greater liquidity and trading of ACL's stock," said Mr. Chung-Lun Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACL. "Over the next two months, we expect to close the acquisitions that were previously announced for Superb Sino Holdings Limited, the holding company of Systematic Semiconductor Limited and Jussey Investments Limited, the majority shareholder of USmart Electronic Products Limited, both of which are expected to diversify our business with higher margin components. We are confident that these growth drivers will benefit both ACL and our shareholders by ensuring our Company thrives in a constantly changing business environment."

Dear Shareholders,

ACL continues to aggressively seek opportunities in the Asian market to broaden the ACL business model with higher margins, innovative products and an expansion of our geographic footprint. We believe the three recently proposed transactions fit within this strategy and offer excellent vehicles to position ACL for the future. We are diversifying our platform and will no longer predominantly be a distributor business with a major focus on one brand. We are developing into a diversified, more vertically integrated company; spanning manufacturing, design, and distribution. Our strong presence across mainland China, combined with a state-of-the-art electronic components distribution platform, will better position the Company to withstand the industry pressures that we experienced in 2011. I will briefly outline the three transactions and the strategic opportunities they present for ACL:

• ATMD Joint Venture with Tomen Devices Corporation: We view this joint venture with Tomen Devices Corporation ("Tomen") as truly transformative for ACL and its Samsung business. In line with Samsung's strategy to streamline its distribution network, the joint venture combines Tomen's strong financial position with ACL's Atlantic client base and team into one entity known as ATMD, which we believe is poised to become a leading Samsung distributor across Greater China. The joint venture optimizes the Samsung semiconductor position in the Greater China market and creates a full product supply chain business model. By combining forces, ATMD will offer a broad portfolio of Samsung semiconductor products, which includes Tomen's higher margin products, addressing the rapidly expanding smartphone, storage devices, tablets, and notebooks manufactured in China. ACL will retain a 30% interest in this joint venture, which was launched on April 1, 2012.
• USmart Electronic Products Limited Acquisition Underway: We entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire Jussey Investments Limited, the majority shareholder of USmart Electronic Products Limited ("USmart"), on March 30, 2012. USmart specializes in the manufacture and distribution of computer peripherals, premium smartphones, high-end tablets, flash storage, communication devices and consumer electronics appliances. We believe USmart is poised to bring to ACL relationships with world renowned brands and long term sourcing partnerships. USmart's focus is on advanced technology from a design, manufacturing and distribution standpoint. The addition will broaden ACL's business across the three "C" markets -- computers, consumer electronics and communication technologies. This pending acquisition will diversify ACL's business beyond distribution and increase our exposure to the rapidly growing Asian smartphone market. We are progressing well with the closing of this transaction and expect it to close by June 2012.
• Systematic Semiconductor Limited Acquisition Pending: On February 13, 2012, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire Systematic Semiconductor Limited ("Systematic"), which is a successful trader and procurement network specialist of memory products. Systematic specializes in memory components with over thirty categories and 350 subcategories in the space. Systematic's broad product portfolio and flexibility in its relationships with a broad spectrum of branded manufacturers, wholesales/distributors and retailers results in excellent margins. With the addition of Systematic, ACL will be further integrated into the supply chain and diversify its business towards the consumer platform across China and Hong Kong. We expect this transaction to close by the end of May 2012.

In closing, these transactions exemplify our strategic objective to strengthen and diversify our semiconductor product platform for 2012 and beyond. We remain optimistic about the overall market prospects as we believe the semiconductor market is on track to resume growth by the second half of 2012. The enterprise spending cycle will continue to expand throughout 2012, and the launch of Microsoft Windows 8 for tablets and ultrabooks is expected to drive demand for computing platforms. Smartphone penetration should accelerate with the growth of lower-cost devices in emerging markets such as China, India and Southeast Asia. Datacenter and storage is projected to grow in order to support cloud-based applications, and anticipated growth in data traffic will drive more investments in networking and computing infrastructure. According to the research manager at IDC, double-digit growth is projected for consumer devices such as media tablets and eReaders in 2012.

We deeply appreciate your faith in our ability to make 2012 a year of transformation and growth.

Yours sincerely,
Mr. Chung-Lun Yang
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

• For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, ACL reported net revenue of $73.2 million, compared to $117.9 million in the same period last year.
• Loss per diluted share was $0.08 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, as compared to a loss of $0 in the same period last year.

Mr. Chung-Lun Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACL, commented, "While 2011 was a challenging macroeconomic year across the global semiconductor business, ACL maintained its market position and undertook strategic initiatives to broaden our business model and set the foundation for future growth and higher gross margins. The bottom line for the year was affected by an allowance of doubtful accounts which in effect offsets the Company's accounts receivables for the fiscal year 2011. Without such allowance ACL would have shown a profit for 2011 in spite of the pricing pressures that were evident industry wide."

Mr. Yang, continued, "We remain focused on pursuing opportunities to penetrate the rapidly expanding three 'C' markets - computers, consumer electronic appliances and communication technologies. In the first quarter of 2012, we believe we successfully moved to assure success in this arena. Of major importance was the non-binding MOU to acquire Jussey Investments Limited ("Jussey"), the majority owner of USmart Electronic Products Limited ("USmart"), broadening our platform from distribution to manufacturing and design. In addition, we signed a non-binding MOU to acquire Systematic Semiconductor Limited ("Systematic") (known as Superb Sino Holdings Ltd. BVI) that provides high margin, global brand components, diversifying ACL with new brands. Also during the first quarter we announced a new joint venture with Tomen Devices Corporation, a Japan based seller of Samsung components. The joint venture called ATMD (Hong Kong) Limited ("ATMD") will expand our geographic footprint for distribution of Samsung semiconductors in mainland China. These transactions meet our objective of strengthening our product portfolio and expanding into divergent geographic regions. We believe that ACL is well positioned to benefit from the anticipated demand driven revenue growth for NAND Flash in 2012 due to the continued expansion in the global smartphone and tablets market."

On March 9, 2012, ACL International Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACL Semiconductors Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Tomen Devices Corporation (“Tomen”), a company incorporated in Japan, pursuant to which Agreement ACL Holdings and Tomen agreed to form a joint venture, ATMD (Hong Kong) Limited (“ATMD”), to be incorporated in Hong Kong.

Tomen has been one of the authorized distributors of Samsung Japan Corporation (“SJC”) in Japan with respect to certain semi-conductors and electronics parts manufactured by Samsung. SJC is a shareholder of Tomen. ACL Holdings’ subsidiary, Atlantic Components Limited (“Atlantic”), has been one of the authorized distributors of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SECC”) in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China, with respect to similar products manufactured by Samsung. Other than the foregoing, no prior material relationship existed between the Company and Tomen, any of its affiliates, or any of its directors or officers.

Third Quarter 2011 Results

• Net revenue of $74.0 million, as compared to revenue of $102.3 million for the same period last year.
• Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $1.9 million compared to net loss of $76,736 in the same period last year.
• Earnings per diluted share was $0.07 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.00 per diluted share in the same period last year.

Mr. Chung-Lun Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACL Semiconductors Inc., commented, "The third quarter 2011 results reflect a significant improvement from the previous quarter. Following difficult selling conditions in the second quarter 2011, we managed to negotiate more favorable purchasing prices from Samsung. A better offering price was achieved early on in the third quarter 2011, which contributed to a reduction in the cost of sales."

Mr. Chung-Lun Yang continued, "While we did see a challenging quarter due to global macroeconomic conditions and the effect on NAND flash sale prices, we don't expect this trend to continue. We believe both the second and third quarters of 2011 represented irregular performances as a direct result of volatility in the semiconductor market. However, the overall NAND Flash market demand remains strong and our outlook remains favorable. We do anticipate market volatility to continue into the fourth quarter 2011 and we expect our annual results to become stable."

Second Quarter 2011 Results

On May 13 2011, ACL Semiconductors Inc. reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011,

• Net revenue of $121.0 million, an increase from $99.0 million, or 22%, compared to the same period last year.  The year-over-year revenue growth was primarily due to an increase of sales volume in the PRC market.
• Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $1.4 million or essentially flat as compared to net income of $1.4 million in the same period last year.
• Earnings per diluted share were $0.05 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was flat compared to the gain of $0.05 in the same period last year.

Mr. Yang continued, "This is a very exciting time for ACL as we see a strong growth momentum carry over from the last quarter into the beginning of 2011. We continue to explore initiatives which will improve our operational efficiency and financial performance. Looking further into 2011 we foresee demand for various memory products to continue to grow as the demand for mobile electronics continues to rise. We believe that we are at the beginning of a long growth cycle in the NAND Flash, DRAM and Graphics RAM sectors and ACL remains well positioned to be a leading distributor of Samsung memory components."

On March 14, 2011, ACL Semiconductors Inc. reported results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The Company reported

• Net revenue of $117.9 million, an increase from $90.3 million, or 31%, compared to the same period last year.
• Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $24,874, compared to net loss of $383,804 in the same period last year.

The year-over-year revenue growth was primarily due to an increase of sales volume in the PRC market. The decrease in net loss resulted primarily from pricing pressure stabilization on our products as compared to the year ago quarter. Loss per diluted share was $0.0009 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, as compared to a loss of $0.01 in the same period last year.

Mr. Alan Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACL Semiconductors, commented, "The fourth quarter of 2010 demonstrated strong revenue growth, with our total revenue increasing 31%, as compared to the same period last year. These outstanding results reflect the success of our business model and the macro economic factors across Hong Kong and Southern China. Most importantly, Samsung wrapped up their best year of net sales, and has guided for a strong 2011. As a distributor of Samsung products, we are also expecting strong financial performance in 2011."

HONG KONG, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- ACL Semiconductors Inc. expects strong fourth quarter and full year 2010 results based on Samsung's record setting fiscal year.

Mr. Alan Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACL Semiconductors, commented, "Samsung has just wrapped up their best year yet in terms of both net sales and net income in 2010. To have that kind of performance in a challenging economic environment over the past year is impressive. Along the same lines we are also expecting a strong fourth quarter and full year 2010 results."

According to Samsung's recent earnings release, consolidated revenue was an all-time high of 154.63 trillion won in 2010 ($138.86 billion) up 13 percent from the previous year's record of 136.32 trillion won. Samsung also indicated that operating profit for 2010 was 16.15 trillion won.

Mr. Yang continued, "With the rise of tablet devices, consistent growth sales of mobile phones and continued demand in LCD TV's, we are expecting another strong year for Samsung in 2011. Likewise it signals a strong year for ACL as we look forward to providing high quality Samsung products and value added services to our network of customers in the coming year."

Our ability to draw down under our various credit and loan facilities is, in each case, subject to the prior consent of the relevant lending institution to make advances at the time of the requested advance and each facility (other than with respect to certain long term mortgage loans) is payable within 90 days of drawdown. Accordingly, on a case by case basis, we may elect to terminate or not renew several of our credit facilities if significant reduction in our available short term borrowings that we do not deem it is commercially reasonable. The Company has obtained a $20 million purchase credit from Samsung.

The Company plans to obtain an additional $30 million line of credit from various lenders. We will continue to seek additional sources of available financing on acceptable terms; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if the results are negatively impacted and delayed as a result of political and economic factors beyond management’s control, our capital requirements may increase.

"The third quarter of 2010 demonstrated another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. Our total revenue was up 34.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period last year. These outstanding results also reflect the success of our business model and the macro economic factors across Hong Kong and Southern China. Most importantly, we are proud of the distribution and product research we supply to Samsung, as we are positioned to be a leading distributor of Samsung memory products in Southern China. During the quarter, we began to promote Samsung's high density NAND Flash (4GB and above) in order to capture a larger market share as well as to push the high density products to the mainstream market. This promotion was successful, which resulted in our increased sales volume for the quarter."

• For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, ACL Semiconductors reported net revenue of $102.3 million, an increase from $76.0 million, or 34.6%, compared to the same period last year.

• Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $77,000, compared to net income of $1.0 millionin the same period last year. The net loss resulted primarily from increased pricing pressure on our products and our promotion of Samsung's NAND products.

• Earnings per diluted share was$0.00for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $0.03in the same period last year.

Mr. Yang continued, "During the quarter we continued to pursue initiatives to improve our internal financial performance and minimize unnecessary costs. We recorded an 11.2% decrease in operating expenses as compared to the corresponding quarter in 2009. We expect our sales turnover to remain stable in the fourth quarter of 2010. We also expect global market demand and the average selling prices of our products to remain stable in the fourth quarter 2010. We are confident in our outlook as the electronics sector is expected to grow for the remainder of the year and we are well-positioned to take advantage of the foreseeable growth in China's market."
