                         FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              DEL GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES RECEIVES RELIEF FROM SEC
                     RELATING TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

    RECEIPT OF RELIEF ALLOWS DEL TO COMMENCE OTHER CORPORATE INITIATIVES

VALHALLA, NY - January 21, 2003 -- Del Global Technologies Corp. (DGTC) ("Del"
or "the Company") today announced that it has received relief from the SEC for
filing selected financial data for Fiscal years 1999 and 1998 in its securities
filings. Accordingly, Del has amended the certifications of President & Chief
Executive Officer Samuel E. Park and Chief Financial Officer Thomas V. Gilboy
that were included as part of the Del's Fiscal 2002 Form 10-K, which was filed
on November 14, 2002.

As previously announced, only three years of Selected Financial Data were
included in Del's Fiscal 2002 Form 10-K instead of the required five years. The
Company determined it could not prepare reliable Statements of Operations for
Fiscal years 1999 and 1998 consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles due to a turnover in personnel and the absence of records necessary
to recreate the financial statements for those years.

Mr. Gilboy commented, "The receipt of this relief from the SEC is an important
development for Del. We appreciate the thorough and professional manner in which
the SEC reviewed this issue, and we are cautiously optimistic that this
development will enable us to move forward with a number of initiatives to
provide our shareholders with better liquidity."

As a result of the receipt of this relief, the Company expects to shortly file a
Form S-1 Registration Statement with the SEC covering the issuance of one
million shares underlying the warrants issued by Del as part of the previously
disclosed settlement of the shareholder class action lawsuit.

As a matter of practice, the SEC must review this Registration Statement prior
to declaring it effective. During this period of review, the SEC may respond to
Del with questions and comments, which Del must address to the satisfaction of
the SEC. There can be no assurances that the SEC will declare effective the
Registration Statement that Del contemplates filing, or to the timing of any
such action. Should the SEC declare effective this Registration Statement,
shareholders would be able to exercise the warrants issued as part of the
shareholder litigation settlement and purchase Del Common Stock at a price of $2
per share. These warrants are also callable by the Company at a price of $0.25
per warrant, if the Common Stock trades at or above $4 per share for ten (10)
consecutive days.




The Company expects that the receipt of this relief from the SEC will facilitate
its being able to apply successfully for a listing on a national stock exchange.
Management has commenced preliminary discussions with appropriate listing
authorities. In addition, the Company also announced that it is finalizing plans
to hold a Meeting of Shareholders in the near future. Shareholders will receive
additional information regarding this subject once the details are finalized.

Mr. Park added, "We are pleased to be moving forward on these important issues.
However, it should be noted that the timing of these issues, particularly
re-listing on a national exchange, is subject to numerous factors, including:
(1) finalizing Del's agreement in principle with the SEC to resolve their
investigation into financial statements filed by Del's previous management; and
(2) Del's ability to meet all appropriate listing requirements. We are working
diligently to address these issues."
