DSG INTERNATIONAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

DULUTH, Ga., July 18, 2003-DSG International Limited (NASDAQ: DSGIF) today announced financial results for the first quarter period ended March 31, 2003.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2003 increased 3.8% to $57.6 million over the $55.5 million in the first quarter last year. Loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2003 was $1.2 million, compared to a loss of $826,000 in the first quarter of 2002. Net income from discontinued operations was $820,000 in the first quarter of 2002. Net loss in the first quarter of 2003 was $1.2 million compared to a net loss of $6,000 for the first quarter of 2002.

The majority of the sales growth in the first quarter of 2003 resulted from the North American and Asian regions. Gross profit margin improved by 0.5% to 24.1% in the first quarter of 2003 compared with the same quarter last year. The improved gross profit margin performance was mainly attributed to production cost savings in the Company’s South East Asian operations due to the localization of production.

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2003 was 24.7% compared to 25.6% in the first quarter last year. On March 20, 2003, the Company granted and issued 1,175,000 restricted shares and 195,000 share options to executive directors and key employees under the Company’s Equity Participation Plan that was adopted in March 2002. The $4.4 million fair value of the restricted shares was recorded at fair market value on the date of grant with a corresponding charge to stockholders’ equity. The unearned portion is being amortized as compensation expense on a straight line basis over the related vesting period. In the first quarter of 2003, $213,000 was charged to stock-based compensation and included in general and administrative expense. Including this charge, operating loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2003 was $387,000 compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million in 2002.

The Company’s interest expense in the first quarter of 2003 was $341,000 compared to $564,000 in the same period last year. The reduction in interest expense is primarily the result of lower debt levels. The Company’s other income in the first quarter 2003 increased to $158,000 from $55,000 in 2002 primarily due to interest income earned by investing the net cash proceeds from the disposal of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2002. Compared to last year, the 2002 loss from continuing operations was favorably impacted due to a $1.7 million tax credit realized by the Company’s North American operations. Excluding the impact of this first quarter 2002 tax credit the net loss in the first quarter of 2002 would have been approximately $2.5 million, which is greater than the 2003 net loss of $1.2 million.

Brandon Wang, Chairman, said, “ The first quarter of 2003 reflected a modest increase in sales revenue over the same period last year. During this first quarter, the Company has improved its gross margins and been able to lower its operating expenses compared to the first quarter of 2002. In the first quarter of 2003 the Company operated under very demanding market conditions in all of its markets. Although margins and operating expenses have improved in the first quarter of this year compared to 2002, the current market

situation has resulted in lower margins and higher operating expenses than anticipated as the Company encounters and contends with competitive pressures in the sale of its products. We expect that these market dynamics might possibly continue for the remainder of the year. While the Company recorded an operating loss of $387,000 in the current quarter it remains an improvement over the $1.1 million operating loss incurred in the same period last year. Competitive market pressures will continue to present challenges to our business in the coming quarters. As a result of this market environment the Company will throughout all aspects of its business continue to review cost reduction opportunities. We will endeavor to provide our retail customers with customized marketing programs that result in increased sales which benefit consumers by providing good economic value while attempting to preserve financial returns for our shareholders”.
