NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Description of Business

DDi is a leading provider of time-critical, technologically-advanced electronic interconnect design, engineering and manufacturing services. We specialize in engineering and fabricating complex multi-layer printed circuit boards (“PCBs”) on a quick-turn basis, with lead times as short as 24 hours. DDi has over 1,000 customers in various market segments including communications, computing, military/aerospace, industrial electronics, instrumentation and medical and high-durability commercial markets. Our engineering capabilities and seven manufacturing facilities located in the United States and Canada, together with our suppliers in Asia, enable us to respond to time-critical orders and technology challenges for our customers. DDi operates primarily in one geographical area, North America.

On December 31, 2009, DDi completed the acquisition of Coretec Inc. (“Coretec”), a Canadian-based PCB manufacturer whose shares, prior to the acquisition, were publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DDi Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company”, “DDi”, “we”, “our” or “us”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of, management are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

All financial data are presented in US Dollars. Certain data from 2010 was reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant and subjective judgments include revenue recognition, inventory valuation, the valuation of stock-based compensation, and the valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill. In addition, we have other accounting policies that involve estimates such as warranty reserves, accruals for restructuring and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences could be material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08 pertaining to the goodwill impairment test required under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350,“Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair

4

value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2011-08 is effective for accounting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the provisions of ASU 2011-08 for our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2011. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, which amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income required under ASC Topic 220, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We have applied provisions of this guidance beginning in the second quarter of 2011 and continuing in the three and nine month periods by presenting comprehensive income within a single consolidates statement of income and comprehensive income.

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out or average cost basis) or market and consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Raw materials	$	10,998	$	9,216
Work-in process		7,723		7,093
Finished goods		5,133		4,661
Total	$	23,854	$	20,970

NOTE 3. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

On September 23, 2010, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and U.S. Lender, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent and Canadian Lender. On March 14, 2011, we entered into an amendment (the “March 2011 Credit Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated September 23, 2010. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, with a Canadian sub-limit of $10.0 million. Pursuant to its terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the aggregate principal amount of the facility may be increased from $25.0 to $40.0 million. The maturity date of the facility is September 23, 2013.

The March 2011 Credit Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to (i) reduce the margin from 3.25% to 2.50% that is added to published interest rates to determine the applicable interest rates for borrowing and (ii) increase the amount of dividends that we can pay without obtaining the consent of the Lender from $8.0 million in a rolling twelve-month period (and $25.0 million over the term of the Credit Agreement) to $12.0 million ($40.0 million over the term of the Credit Agreement).

Availability under the Credit Agreement is based on various borrowing base tests, including our eligible accounts receivable and inventories. As of September 30, 2011, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and availability under the facility was above the applicable measurement levels.

NOTE 4. LONG-TERM DEBT

Key Bank

We have a term loan with Key Bank secured by our building located in North Jackson, Ohio. The loan has a principal balance of approximately $0.8 million at September 30, 2011, requires monthly payments of approximately $20,000 plus accrued interest, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% (1.72% at September 30, 2011). The note matures in April 2015.

Business Development Bank of Canada

There are four existing loans with Business Development Bank of Canada (the “BDC”) — a term loan, an infrastructure loan, an equipment loan and a building loan. The BDC loans are secured by the land and building of our Sheppard Avenue facility located in Toronto, Ontario, and the loan balance is guaranteed by us, a requirement of the BDC. The BDC loans require us to maintain an available funds coverage ratio of 1.5. As of September 30, 2011, we are in compliance with all required covenants.

The outstanding BDC term loan has a principal balance of approximately $0.1 million as of September 30, 2011. The loan requires monthly principal payments of approximately $50,000 over the loan term and bears interest, payable monthly, at BDC’s floating base rate less 1.5% (3.50% at September 30, 2011). The loan matures in December 2011.

The infrastructure loan was provided to finance the completion of our Sheppard Avenue facility. The infrastructure loan has a principal balance of approximately $4.4 million as of September 30, 2011, requires monthly principal payments of approximately $20,000, and accrues interest at BDC’s floating base rate (4.25% at September 30, 2011). The loan matures in October 2028.

The equipment loan has a principal balance of approximately $1.8 million as of September 30, 2011, requires monthly principal payments of approximately $40,000, and accrues interest at the 1-month floating base rate plus 0.6% (3.3% at September 30, 2011). The loan matures in October 2015.

The building loan has a principal balance of approximately $0.1 million as of September 30, 2011, requires monthly principal payments of approximately $20,000, and accrues interest at BDC’s floating base rate plus 0.25% (5.25% at September 30, 2011). The loan matures in March 2012.

Zions Bank Mortgage

We have a mortgage with Zions Bank with a principal balance of approximately $1.5 million as of September 30, 2011, secured by the land and building of our Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio facility. The mortgage requires monthly fixed principal and interest payments of approximately $11,000, accrues interest at the Federal Home Loan Bank rate plus 2% (7.07% at September 30, 2011), and matures during 2032.

GE Real Estate Mortgage

We have a mortgage with GE Real Estate, with a principal balance of $1.3 million as of September 30, 2011, secured by the land and building of our Littleton, Colorado facility. The mortgage requires monthly fixed principal and interest payments of approximately $11,000, accrues interest at a fixed rate of 7.55% per annum, and matures during 2032.

NOTE 5. PRODUCT WARRANTY

We accrue warranty expense, which is included in cost of goods sold, at the time revenue is recognized for estimated future warranty obligations related to defective PCBs at the time of shipment, based upon the relationship between historical sales volumes and anticipated costs. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the estimated cost of repair. We assess the adequacy of the warranty accrual each quarter. To date, actual warranty claims and costs have been in line with our estimates. The warranty accrual is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Our warranty accrual and cost activity is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Beginning balance	$	1,187		$	1,250		$	1,167		$	1,100
Warranties issued during the period		1,833			1,773			5,891			5,007
Warranty expenditures		(1,827	)		(1,814	)		(5,865	)		(4,898	)
Ending Balance	$	1,193		$	1,209		$	1,193		$	1,209

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

We apply the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which established standards of financial accounting and reporting for income taxes that result from an entity’s activities during the current and preceding years. We have $0.3 million and $0.4 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. If recognized in future periods there would be a favorable effect of $0.2 million to the effective tax rate. The tax contingency reserve decreased approximately $60,000 due to statute expirations in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Management anticipates no additional decreases in the tax contingency reserve during the remainder of 2011. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and Canada. We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2004. Canadian income tax matters have been examined through 2008. State jurisdictions that remain subject to examination range from 2003 to 2010.

Our effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of the mix of earnings between tax jurisdictions, research and development credits, state income taxes and our continuous evaluation of the realization of our deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. The reduced income tax rate in 2011 was primarily the result of reserved net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits available to offset profitable operating results.

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

In May 2011, our stockholders approved the DDi Corp. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Awards under the 2011 Plan may be made to key employees and directors of DDi whose participation in the 2011 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of DDi by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The 2011 Plan permits the granting of options (both incentive and nonqualified stock options), share appreciation rights, restricted common stock, deferred share units and performance awards. The Plan reserves 1,750,000 shares for future awards to eligible persons. The number of shares available for awards, as well as the terms of outstanding awards, will be adjusted as provided in the 2011 Plan for share splits, share dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, and other similar events. Any shares reserved for awards will again be available for future awards if the shares for any reason will never be issued to a participant or beneficiary pursuant to an award due to the award’s forfeiture, cancellation, expiration, or net settlement without the issuance of shares. In addition, all shares that are available for future grant under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and awards granted under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan that expire, terminate or are otherwise forfeited will become available for subsequent award under the 2011 Plan. Generally, options that have been granted to employees under the 2011 Plan have a ten year term and vest over three years from the date of grant in equal annual installments. Certain of the grants may vest on an accelerated basis.

In order to determine the fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model and apply the single-option valuation approach to the stock option valuation. In order to determine the fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units we use the closing market price of DDi common stock on the date of grant. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for time-based vesting awards of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.

7

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates, dividend rate, and expected term.

There were 18,500 and 725,100 grants of stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. There were 10,000 and 575,800 grants of stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, the total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized was $1.8 million, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

The following table summarizes our stock option activity under all the plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

	Options Outstanding (in thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life in Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2010		2,466		$	7.87		6.43	$	12,483
Granted		725		$	8.86
Exercised		(204	)	$	6.30			$	807
Forfeited		(61	)	$	8.63
Balance as of September 30, 2011		2,926		$	8.21		6.6	$	2,369
Options exercisable as of September 30, 2011		1,907		$	8.48		5.2	$	1,601

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of DDi’s common stock for those awards that have an exercise price below the quoted price at September 30, 2011.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were 1,913 and 4,657 of increases, respectively, to shares subject to outstanding Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) as the result of required adjustments due to quarterly dividend payments, and there were no other issuances of restricted stock awards. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, there was an increase of 3,874 shares subject to outstanding RSUs as the result of required adjustments due to quarterly dividend payments, and zero and 25,000 grants of restricted stock awards. As of September 30, 2011, the total compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards not yet recognized was $78,000, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average period of approximately 0.2 years.

A summary of the status of our non-vested restricted shares as of September 30, 2011 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is presented below:

	Non-vested Shares Outstanding (in thousands)			Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2010		144		$	3.96
Granted		5	(a)	$	3.92
Vested		(9	)	$	4.48
Forfeited		—			—
Non-vested at September 30, 2011		140		$	3.92

(a) Under the terms of the DDi 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, the number of shares subject to outstanding RSUs are adjusted upon the payments of cash dividends. As a result of the quarterly dividend payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the number of shares subject to outstanding RSUs increased by 4,657 shares.

NOTE 8. SEGMENT REPORTING

Based on evaluation of our financial information, management believes that DDi operates in one reportable segment related to the design, development, manufacture and test of complex PCBs. Net sales are attributed to the country in which the customer buying the product is located.

The following table summarizes net sales by geographic area (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Net sales:
North America (1)	$	60,504	$	61,340	$	181,428	$	179,075
Asia		4,392		6,696		14,164		19,586
Other		1,279		952		3,266		3,374
Total	$	66,175	$	68,988	$	198,858	$	202,035

(1) The majority of net sales in North America are to customers located in the United States.

NOTE 9. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, net of shares of common stock held in treasury. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of share-based compensation.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding — basic		20,317		19,916		20,282		19,868
Weighted-average common stock equivalents		528		755		731		528
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding — diluted		20,845		20,671		21,013		20,396
Net income	$	5,152	$	6,499	$	15,107	$	16,295
Net income per share — basic	$	0.25	$	0.33	$	0.74	$	0.82
Net income per share — diluted	$	0.25	$	0.31	$	0.72	$	0.80

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock of 2,538,455 and 2,334,661 respectively, were excluded from the diluted net income per common share calculation as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock of 2,148,339 and 2,376,187 respectively, were excluded from the diluted net income per common share calculation.

NOTE 10. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES

The acquisition of Coretec on December 31, 2009 prompted us to integrate the operations of DDi’s legacy facility in Toronto (McNicoll) with Coretec’s Toronto facility (Sheppard Avenue) during 2010, which reduced fixed overhead costs, rationalized capacity, and allowed for taking full advantage of the modern Sheppard Avenue manufacturing facility. During the second quarter of 2011, we incurred $0.6 million of severance costs related to the final phase of the Toronto integration plan. In September 2011, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred $0.4 million of severance costs that are related to a reduction in workforce. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $48,000 and $0.3 million of integration costs which were composed of estimated site remediation, asset disposals, severance, and other typical integration expenses.

As of September 30, 2011, accrued restructuring and other related charges totaled $0.7 million, consisting of $0.3 million related to the Toronto site integration and $0.4 million related to a reduction in workforce. These amounts are included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We do not anticipate any further charges related to these restructuring activities, however we continue to seek opportunities to drive efficiencies in the business.

NOTE 11. DIVIDENDS

We have paid quarterly cash dividends since the third quarter of 2010. The following table sets forth the dividends declared during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands except per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Dividend per share	$	0.10	$	0.06	$	0.30	$	0.12
Total declared	$	2,032	$	1,197	$	6,092	$	2,394

DDi Corp. is a Delaware corporation. Delaware law allows a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of the corporations “surplus”, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities minus par value of issued stock. DDi had a surplus as defined by Delaware code of $98.0 million and $85.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. When we record a dividend, the charge is recorded to additional paid-in capital as opposed to retained earnings since we have an accumulated deficit.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, we began applying fair value measurements to assets and liabilities reported in our financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis as required by FASB ASC Topic 820,“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This topic establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1:	Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The estimated fair values of our financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, revolving credit facility, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable, approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. These items are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs.

Cash equivalents consist of our excess cash invested in highly liquid money market accounts. These amounts are reflected within cash and cash equivalents on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at a net value of 1:1 for each dollar invested. The cost and fair value of our cash equivalents was $28.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and was based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, a Level 1 input.

To calculate the estimated fair value of our variable and fixed rate notes payable and mortgage debt as of September 30, 2011, we estimated that in the current market our cost of borrowing on similar debt would, on average, be approximately 5.2% based on our current debt rating and an analysis of current market rates. Using this estimated interest rate and a discount rate of 8.0% (Level 2 and 3 inputs), we estimated the fair value of our debt to be approximately $49,000 higher than its carrying value of $10.0 million.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time we are involved in litigation and government proceedings incidental to our business. These proceedings are in various procedural stages. We believe as of the date of this Report that provisions or accruals made for any potential losses, to the extent estimable, are adequate and that any liabilities or costs arising out of these proceedings are not likely to have a materially adverse effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The outcome of any of these proceedings, however, is inherently uncertain, and if unfavorable outcomes were to occur, there is a possibility that they would, individually or in the aggregate, have a materially adverse effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for our three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our Company

We are a leading provider of time-critical, technologically-advanced electronic interconnect design, engineering and manufacturing services. We specialize in engineering and fabricating complex multi-layer printed circuit boards (“PCBs”) on a quick-turn basis, with lead times as short as 24 hours, and manufacturing products with high levels of complexity and reliability with low-to-moderate production volumes. We have over 1,000 PCB customers in various market segments including communications, computing, military/aerospace, industrial electronics, instrumentation, medical and high-durability commercial markets. Our customers include both original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) providers. With such a broad customer base and approximately 60 new PCB designs tooled per day, we have accumulated significant process and engineering expertise. Our core strength is developing

11

innovative, high-performance solutions for customers during the engineering, test and launch phases of new electronic product development and supporting long-term requirements for low-to-moderate production volumes, such as those required by the military/aerospace market. Our entire organization is focused on rapidly and reliably filling complex customer orders and building long-term customer relationships. Our engineering capabilities and seven manufacturing facilities located in the United States and Canada, together with our suppliers in Asia, enable us to respond to time-critical orders and technology challenges for our customers.

Industry Overview

PCBs are a fundamental component of virtually all electronic equipment. A PCB is comprised of layers of laminate and copper and contains patterns of electrical circuitry to connect electronic components. The level of PCB complexity is determined by several characteristics, including interconnect and circuit density, size, layer count, material type and functionality. High-end commercial and military/aerospace equipment manufacturers require complex PCBs fabricated with higher layer counts, greater interconnect and circuit density and advanced materials, and demand highly complex and sophisticated manufacturing capabilities. By contrast, other PCBs, such as those used in non-wireless consumer electronic products, are generally less complex and have less sophisticated manufacturing requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained on pages 24 to 26 in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that as of September 30, 2011 there had been no material changes to this information.

Results of Operations — Summary

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, we experienced a slightly reduced level of demand from the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, as customer orders fell sequentially by 1.6% to $65.2 million reflecting a 0.98 book to bill ratio. This sequential decrease during the third quarter of 2011 followed an 8% reduced level of demand during the second quarter of 2011 and a 18% sequential increase in customer orders to a record level of $72.2 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 we experienced a 15% sequential decrease in customer orders from the third quarter ended September 30, 2010. These four consecutive quarters of inconsistent trends in customer demand follows five consecutive quarters of increasing customer orders starting in the third quarter of 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total customer orders were $203.5 million which reflects a decrease of 4.5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 total customer orders of $213.1 million. This decrease is primarily comprised of lower demand in the consumer electronics, communications, instrumentation and medical and industrial electronics segments offset by increases in the computer and military/aerospace segments. Likewise, the net sales were $198.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 which are lower compared to the net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $202.0 million.

Looking forward to the remainder of 2011, we remain cautious regarding the uncertainties relating to the global economy and continue to monitor the impact on the demand for PCBs in the sector that we serve. In particular, we have observed forecasts of softer demand in the military/aerospace market sector as a result of anticipated budget pressures on the U.S. Department of Defense and our customers in this market segment. Notwithstanding these economic uncertainties, we remain intensely focused on operational and financial discipline, gaining market share in our core markets, and technological innovation to continue to improve DDi’s overall business platform.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

The following tables set forth select data from our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (in thousands):

12

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change			% Change
Net sales	$	66,175		$	68,988		$	(2,813	)		(4.1	%)
Cost of goods sold		52,267			53,450			(1,183	)		(2.2	%)
Gross profit	$	13,908		$	15,538		$	(1,630	)		(10.5	%)
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales		21.0	%		22.5	%

Net Sales

Net sales are derived from the engineering and manufacture of complex, technologically-advanced multi-layer PCBs.

Net sales decreased $2.8 million, or 4.1%, to $66.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $69.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales volumes in our industrial electronics, communications and consumer electronics segments, offset by higher sales in our computer, military/aerospace and instrumentation and medical segments.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $1.6 million, or 10.5%, to $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower net sales, higher material costs driven by higher commodity prices and depreciation, partially offset by lower labor and overhead costs. Lower overhead costs during the third quarter of 2011 primarily represent the benefits realized from our Toronto facilities integration.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change			% Change
Sales and marketing expenses	$	4,142		$	4,330		$	(188	)		(4.3	%)
Percentage of net sales		6.3	%		6.3	%

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 4.3%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The slight decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to lower variable compensation.

General and Administrative Expenses

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change			% Change
General and administrative expenses	$	3,968		$	4,250		$	(282	)		(6.6	%)
Percentage of net sales		6.0	%		6.2	%

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 6.6%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to lower professional fees (primarily legal) and variable compensation, partially offset by higher administrative expenses and depreciation.

Amortization of Intangibles

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		$ Change		% Change
Amortization of intangible assets	$	190	$	190	$	—		0.0	%

Amortization of intangible assets relates to customer relationships identified in connection with the purchase of Sovereign Circuits Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2006. These intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years, resulting in $0.2 million of amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Restructuring and Other Related Charges

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		$ Change		% Change
Restructuring and other related charges	$	392	$	48	$	344		716.7	%

The acquisition of Coretec on December 31, 2009 prompted us to integrate the operations of DDi’s legacy facility in Toronto (McNicoll) with Coretec’s Toronto facilities (primarily Sheppard Avenue) during 2010, which reduced fixed overhead costs, rationalized capacity, and allowed improved utilization of the more modern Sheppard Avenue manufacturing facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $48,000 of integration costs which were composed of estimated site remediation, asset disposals, severance, and other related expenses incurred in connection with the integration of our Toronto operations.

In September 2011, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our business. Related to this effort, during the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred $0.4 million of severance costs that are related to a reduction in workforce.

Interest Expense

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change		% Change
Interest Expense	$	384		$	303		$	81		26.7	%
Interest Income		(2	)		(7	)	$	5		(71.4	%)
Net Interest Expense	$	382		$	296		$	86		29.1	%

Interest expense consists of amortization of debt issuance costs, interest expense associated with long-term deferred leases, and interest on seven asset-backed term loans. Interest expense increased $81,000, or 26.7%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the amortization of fees associated with our credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which was executed in September 2010.

Net Other Expense (Income)

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change			% Change
Other expense (income)	$	(272	)	$	(144	)	$	(128	)		88.9	%

Net other expense (income) consists of foreign exchange transaction gains or losses related to our Canadian operations and other miscellaneous non-operating items. Net other expense (income) increased $0.1 million or 88.9% to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net other income is primarily due to a foreign currency gain as a result of the change in the value of the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010		$ Change			% Change
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(46	)	$	69	$	(115	)		(166.7	%)

14

We recorded an income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $46,000 or 0.9% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax expense of $0.1 million, or 1% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in the income tax effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to uncertain tax positions and the federal allowance of expensing of capital expenditures in 2011. Our effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of the mix of earnings between tax jurisdictions, research and development credits and the impact of the recognition of the tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards to the extent of current earnings.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

The following tables set forth select data from our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net Sales

Net sales decreased $3.2 million, or 1.6%, to $198.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $202.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in net sales is primarily due to lower sales volume in our consumer electronics, communications, instrumentation and medical and industrial electronics segments, partially offset by higher sales in our computer and military/aerospace segments.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $2.3 million, or 5.2%, to $42.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $44.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to lower net sales, higher material costs driven by higher commodity prices and depreciation, partially offset by lower labor and overhead costs. Lower overhead costs during the third quarter of 2011 primarily represent the benefits realized from our Toronto facilities integration.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change		% Change
Interest expense	$	1,162		$	1,063		$	99		9.3	%
Interest income		(9	)		(31	)		22		(71.0	%)
Net interest expense	$	1,153		$	1,032		$	121		11.7	%

Interest expense consists of amortization of debt issuance costs, interest expense associated with long-term deferred leases, and interest on seven asset-backed term loans. Interest expense increased $0.1 million, or 9.3%, to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the amortization of fees associated with our credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which was executed in September 2010.

Other Expense (Income), Net

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010		$ Change			% Change
Other expense (income)	$	(298	)	$	220	$	(518	)		(235.5	%)

Net other expense (income) consists of foreign exchange transaction gains or losses related to our Canadian operations and other miscellaneous non-operating items. Net other expense (income) decreased $0.5 million to $(0.3 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in net other expense is primarily due to a foreign currency gain as a result of the change in the value of the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar.

Income Tax Expense

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		$ Change			% Change
Income tax expense	$	119	$	790	$	(671	)		(84.9	%)

The Company recorded an income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $0.1 million, or 0.8% of pre-tax income, as compared to an income tax expense of $0.8 million, or 4.6% of pre-tax income, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in income tax effective tax rate was primarily due to federal allowance of expensing of capital expenditures in 2011. Our effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of the mix of earnings between tax jurisdictions, research and development credits and the impact of the recognition of the tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards to the extent of current earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	(Dollars in thousands)
Working capital	$	59,770	$	51,026
Current ratio (current assets to current liabilities)		2.7 : 1.0		2.2 : 1.0
Cash and cash equivalents	$	28,436	$	28,347
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	9,992	$	11,455

The primary drivers affecting cash and liquidity are net income, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments to our shareholders and principal payments on our debt. Historically, the payment terms we have had to offer our customers have been relatively similar to the terms received from our creditors and suppliers. We typically bill customers on an open account basis subject to our standard credit quality and payment terms ranging from net 30 to net 60 days. If our net sales increase, it is likely that our accounts receivable balance will also increase. Conversely, if our net sales decrease, it is likely that our accounts receivable will also decrease. Our accounts receivable could increase if customers, such as our large EMS customers, delay their payments or if we grant them extended payment terms.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $28.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $59.8 million of working capital compared to $28.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $51.0 million of working capital as of December 31, 2010. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is further described below.

Consolidated Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	15,117		$	9,961
Investing activities		(8,191	)		(5,765	)
Financing activities		(6,887	)		(8,181	)
Effect of exchange rates on cash		50			68
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	89		$	(3,917	)

Management defines cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. We maintain cash and cash equivalents at certain financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies. However, management does not believe this concentration subjects the Company to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. We frequently monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our emphasis is primarily on safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $15.1 million compared to $10.0 million of cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The operating activities that affected cash consisted primarily of net income, which totaled $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $16.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in our net income was primarily attributable to lower net sales and gross profit partially offset by lower operating expenses.

The adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that did not affect cash consisted of depreciation of $7.0 million, stock-based compensation of $0.9 million, amortization of intangible assets of $0.6 million and amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.2 million offset by the amortization of a deferred lease liability of ($0.3) million.

Cash flows from operations include uses of cash of $3.1 million related to an increase in inventory, which was primarily due to an increase in the value of raw materials (specifically the value of gold), as well as an increase in work in process and finished goods to support our customer orders. Cash flows from operations also included a $2.3 million decrease in accounts payable which was primarily related to the timing of inventory purchases and payments to our suppliers. In addition, we used $1.4 million of cash from operations for accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily resulting from a reduction in accrued compensation and professional fees. Prepaid expenses and other assets used $1.1 million of cash primarily related to the timing of the amortization of various prepaid expenses.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $8.2 million compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to purchases of capital equipment to extend our technical capabilities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to the purchase of equipment for our facilities as well as building improvements to some of our facilities.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $6.9 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to cash dividends paid to common shareholders of $6.1 million and principal payments on long-term debt of $1.3 million partially offset by proceeds from the

18

exercise of stock options of $0.5 million. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is attributable to the repayment of our revolving credit facility of $4.3 million, cash dividend payments to common shareholders of $2.4 million, principal payment on long-term debt of $1.4 million and payments of debt issuance costs of $0.7 million partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.5 million.

Based on current macro-economic conditions and conditions in the state of the printed circuit board business, our own organizational structure and our current outlook, we presently expect our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations, working capital and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Revolving Credit Facilities

JPMorgan Chase Credit Agreement. On September 23, 2010, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and U.S. Lender, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent and Canadian Lender (the “Lender”). On March 14, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment (the “March 2011 Credit Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated September 23, 2010.

The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, with a Canadian sub-limit of $10.0 million. Pursuant to its terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the aggregate principal amount of the facility may be increased from $25.0 to $40.0 million.

The March 2011 Credit Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to (i) reduce the margin from 3.25% to 2.50% that is added to published interest rates to determine the applicable interest rates for borrowing and (ii) increase the amount of dividends that the Company can pay without obtaining the consent of the Lender from $8 million in a rolling twelve-month period (and $25.0 million over the term of the Credit Agreement) to $12.0 million ($40.0 million over the term of the Credit Agreement).

As of September 30, 2011, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2011 there had been no material changes in the Company’s significant contractual obligations and commitments as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Form 10-K”) which is incorporated herein by reference. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Reference is made to the Form 10-K for a summary of our previously reported legal proceedings. Since the date of the Form 10-K, there have been no material developments in previously reported legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factors enumerated below, as of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors included in the Form 10-K.

A significant portion of our business is derived from products and services sold to customers in the defense industry. Changes in export control or other federal regulations could result in increased competition from offshore competitors which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

A significant portion of our net sales are derived from products and services ultimately sold to customers in the defense industry. Many of these products are currently subject to export controls and other regulatory requirements that limit the ability of overseas competitors to manufacture such products. The federal government is currently in the process of reviewing and revising the United States Munitions List. Such changes could reduce or eliminate restrictions that currently apply to some of the products we produce. If these regulations or others are changed in a manner that reduces restrictions on their being manufactured overseas, we would likely face increased competition from overseas manufacturers. Such increased competition could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Natural disasters in certain regions could adversely affect the global electronics supply chain which, in turn, could have a negative impact on our business, the cost of and demand for our products and our results of operations.

The occurrence of natural disasters in certain regions, such as the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, could have a negative impact on our supply chain, our ability to deliver products to our customers and on the cost of and demand for our products. We may also encounter reduced demand for our printed circuit boards in the event customers are unable to obtain adequate supplies of other components due to the events in Japan. We are rigorously assessing our potential exposure but uncertainties exist such that the extent and duration of these supply constraints cannot be currently determined. As a result, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these events.
