                      AGM and Interim Management Statement


Dialight plc, the UK based leader in Applied LED Technology, today publishes its
Interim Management Statement relating to the period from 1 January 2008.


 Dialight consists of two business segments:-


    O  Signals/Illumination which includes Traffic and Rail Signals, Obstruction
       Lights and the new product area of Solid State Lighting


    O  Components comprising Light Emitting Diode ('LED') Indication Components
       and Electromagnetic Disconnects ('smart' meter disconnect switches)


Highlights


•   Orders for Signals/ Illumination showing continued double digit growth


•   Strong order intake for Meter Disconnect product


•   Indication Components continues to perform well


•   Sale of Indication Business on track


•   Margins stable in spite of inflationary pressure


•   Overall trading in line with expectations



Current trading


Dialight has had an encouraging start to 2008. Orders for the Signals/
Illumination segment are robust and would support continued double digit growth
across each of our product lines.  In particular, our European Traffic business
has had a strong start to the year and the North American Traffic business is
benefitting from shipments of the previously announced contract for Miami Dade
County in Florida.  Sales of Obstruction Lights into the North American Wind
Tower market continues to gain momentum.


Our LED Indication product lines have shown good solid performance with order
intake at a similar rate to the second half of 2007.  In spite of the talk of
recession in the North American market, sentiment from our customers and
distributors is that business is still cautiously positive.


The Dialight BLP Meter Disconnect business has had a good start with the
$4,000,000 blanket order received in the first quarter from one major US meter
manufacturer and production orders received from another US meter manufacturer.
This segment should exhibit significant growth in the second half of 2008.


While the much published price pressures on commodities have been apparent in
our purchased materials, cost reduction is an ongoing activity within Dialight
and in spite of those pressures, we have been able to maintain and in some cases
to improve our margins.


In March we announced that we would pursue the possible sale of our LED
Indication business and have commenced a formal sale process with our financial
advisors.  The process is progressing in line with our intentions.


In summary, Dialight has had a good start to the year and trading is in line
with expectations.  The Board remains confident in the prospects for the current
year.
