           DESWELL INDUSTRIES INC. PURCHASES ADDITIONAL MACHINERY FOR
                  NEW DONGGUAN PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING PLANT

HONG KONG (December 3, 2002) - Deswell Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: DSWL) today
announced the purchase of five additional sets of Mitsubishi and Chen Hsong
injection- molding machines, with a clamping force of 368 tons to 650 tons, of
which two sets are installed with gas-injection functionality. The machines and
equipment are expected to be installed in the Company's new facility by the end
of February 2003. The machine and all accessories were purchased for
approximately $1 million.

Construction of the new Dongguan facility remains on schedule and operations are
expected to begin before March 2003. The facility will expand Deswell's
plastics-division capacity by approximately 40%, lower the Company's annual
rent, and reduce labor costs.

Richard Lau, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "With Phase One
construction of our Dongguan plant nearly complete, we look forward to increased
capacity and improved operating efficiency. Looking ahead, we remain extremely
optimistic about our plastic injection molding business and will continue the
prudent expansion of these facilities in order to meet the growing demand."

products and subassemblies, and metallic products for original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs") and contract manufacturers at its factories in the
People's Republic of China. The Company produces a wide variety of plastic parts
and components used in the manufacture of consumer
