FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Power Corporation (NYSE MKT: DPW - News) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. 

Digital Power's revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 were $2,642,000, an increase of 19% from revenue of $2,227,000 for the same quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net income for the quarter ended on June 30, 2014 was $149,000, an increase of 219% from the loss of $125,000 for the quarter ended on June 30, 2013. Gross margin in the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 was 41%, an increase from 40% reported in June 30, 2013. Operating income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $151,000, an increase of 99% from $76,000 for the same quarter ended June 30, 2013. Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased to $932,000 compared to $810,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 mainly as the result of higher stock option compensation expenses and headcount additions in the Company's direct sales force. The Company recorded no impairment expense related to its investment in Telkoor in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to a write down of $196,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. 

Commenting on the results, President and CEO, Amos Kohn, stated: "We experienced a significant improvement in revenue, operating income and net income in our results compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the previous quarter ended March 31, 2014. We recorded stronger defense related shipments from our European operation and continue to strategically plan to further develop our domestic product portfolio. Our commercial products' revenues and gross margins are highly dependent on the timing of customer delivery schedules which were fortuitous for us in the second quarter of 2014. Due to the schedule of customer deliverables in current backlog, we expect lower revenues and margins at least through the three months ended September 30, 2014.

We continue to pursue our strategic plan of developing complete customized power solutions and enhancing our standard product portfolio with innovative, high density and efficient power supplies at ever increasing power levels.. The focus on a complete solution for power applications is well received by our major telecom, medical, military and the industrial customers.
