PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 1, 2010

CHDT CORPORATION REPORTS 2009 GROSS REVENUES OF $6,161,000

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL: CHDT Corporation (OTCBB:CHDO), a Florida-based company with operating subsidiaries focused on designing and manufacturing consumer products for the North American retail market, reports the following:

Total Net Revenues: For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had net revenues of approximately $6,161,000 and $6,616,000, respectively, for a decrease of $455,000 which represents a 6.8% decrease over 2008 revenue.

Results of Operations: For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $1,099,000 versus $1,338,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. That is a net loss decrease of $239,000 over 2008 results or 17.8%. The economic downturn had a major impact on our overall financial results particularly in the Hardware and Automotive categories. Some major retailers delayed their programs until 2010 which also impacted our revenue growth in 2009. The poor performance of our STP^® tools category with a $1.5 million revenue shortfall compared to 2008 has over shadowed the positive revenue growth in our Eco-i-Lite and PATHWAY LIGHTS® programs. We have been successful in reducing expenses to offset revenue shortfalls but at the same time we have continued to invest in new product concepts and moulds as investments for possible future growth.

Cost of Sales: For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had cost of sales of approximately $4,350,000 and $4,589,000, respectively. This cost represents 70.4% and 69.4% respectively of Net Revenue. Overall material costs have remained steady during the year, but we have provided additional sales allowances to promote our new items that have increased overall cost of sales. As a percentage of Total Net Revenue costs have increased by 1 %.

Gross Profit: For 2009, gross profit was $1,811,000, a reduction by approximately $215,000 or 10.6% from 2008. For 2008, gross profit was $2,026,000. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 29.4% for the year as compared to 30.6% for 2008. The gross profit decrease is the result of the added sales allowance offered to promote the new product launches and fewer sales.

Our larger customers are continuing to buy on a direct import basis. The gross margin percentages are lower in this selling scenario but the Company’s expenses are also reduced as the customer is responsible for related expenses such as freight, duties and handling costs.

Operating expenses were $2,644,000 in 2009 as compared to $3,075,000, a net reduction of $431,000 or 14%. This reduction can be attributed to various factors. Sales and Marketing expenses were $355,000, a reduction of $202,000 or 36% over the $557,000 expensed in 2008.

Compensation for 2009 was $1,283,000, a reduction of $310,000 or 19.4% from $1,593,000 in 2008.

Management believes that revenues for 2010 will escalate as the retail environment continues to mend from the severe downturn experienced in 2009. Capstone Industries recently returned from the 2010 International Home and Housewares exhibition with numerous product awards as well as strong demand from retailers for its products. Retailers response to the company’s expanded Pathway lighting® and Eco-i-Lite products was overwhelmingly positive. The launch of the C-Lite Motion Sensor Light program and the Light Ringers Lamps at the Housewares exhibition was also a major success with a lot of interest from many new retail channels. Over the next several weeks follow up will take place with prospective buyers.

“2009 was a setback for CHDT’s historical 100%+ revenue growth year over year, since 2007 as the severe downturn in the economy shut off or delayed purchasing of new and many existing products. In particular the Hardware and Automotive categories were severely depressed. However the investment in new concepts and products in 2009 helped us offset part of the revenue shortfall. Looking forward in 2010 thus far we see increased demand for our new and existing products and we have continued to invest in new product development which should get the company back on track to increase revenues in 2010” said Chairman Howard Ullman.

The following summary is qualified by reference to the Form 10K report for fiscal year 2009 and the risk factors therein.
