Remember when very few cars had a radio, now its common place.
Electric windows, sun-roofs and air-con where for top of the range vehicles.
Only XR3i and GTIs had fuel injection.

Now we are seeing SAT-NAV and in-car DVD and LCD SCREENS being fitted by car owners These are considered luxury items still or add-on kits.

We are now seeing SAT-NAV and in-car entertainment systems being fitted to more and more new cars, this will be the expected norm in the future.

DVL has over 15 years experience in the development and supply of in-car audio visual entertainment and satellite navigation solutions, with key strengths in the following areas:
Research and development
Concept design
CAD design and support
Programme management
OEM engineering liaison
Hard and soft trim fabrication
Performance and safety verification
Component manufacturing
Production assembly
Logistics management
Marketing support


With yet another contract added again today I feel that Designer Vision Ltd is the stock to back and get in early on the car entertainment boom.

Should see some significant buying in the run up to results on Friday!

I suspect the price will remain range bound between 7 and 8 until Friday. A number of larger investors will no doubt top-slice ahead of the results to lock in profits, and will take advantage of any strength in the share price.

At present we have a positive outlook, large orders (and so higher turnover) and a number of new contract wins (Virgin etc.). The results need to confirm a) sensible margins, leading to b) an interim profit, and c) continued strength in the order book moving forward.

The chart appears ready for a break upwards if the results are good, but of course could equally break down if things go badly.

Friday will confirm if this is truely a good recovery play or not.

As ever, just my opinion. Do your own research. etc.

Recent contract wins should make no impact on the results out tomorrow as they are too late to contribute. It should be losses once again. The real question is the size of the margins on the contracts. If they are too low then it looks like losses for some time yet to come. I am sure there will be some bullish comments in the results statement, but I expect a sharp fall in the share price following the results. The next set of results after tomorrow should tell the real story.

The orders in April were for delivery within 60 days and 28 days respectively, at which point they would be invoiced and therefore must appear in the results. They may not receive payment within the period, and if that's the case they will appear as a debtor. Anything after April is unlikely to appear until the year end. I would agree that margins and the full year results will tell the full story.

As ever, just my opinion. Do your own research. etc.

Very happy, worth waiting for onwards and upwards.

Likewise Technotamed. I think this nicely lays the foundation for a break out in the coming weeks. The order book is "very strong" and "with the onset of the Christmas period we expect an increase in existing business as well as further significant contract wins", all of which should support a stronger share price going forward.

In my opinion anyway.....

Strawbs.

Looks like the news is factered into the price so good news to support the current 8p. Further contracts and news will then move the price further in the right direction and with Christmas round the corner a nice position to be in.

I suspect it was partly factored in, although you often see drops or very little movement when things go according to plan. The rise normally starts several weeks later as investors slowly build up stakes. With further good news in the pipeline, the price should respond before too long. I imagine the Land Rover product launch will be the catalyst short term.

In my opinion.....

Strawbs.

Still a lot of hot money that went into this expecting fireworks on results will come out as they chase the next sure thing...

mm's will mark down in days to come as they buy the stock back.

Possibly. Although it's been range bound for the last 7 weeks, which seems a long time to tie up "hot money". I would've thought that most of the "hot money" arrived after the results date was announced, hoping for fireworks on Friday. Most traders don't want to tie up capital for more than a few weeks. In my opinion anyway.....

Strawbs.

both Sigmatel and Samsung microchips to ensure reliability and performance
quality.

The launch of further new players is planned for later this year to supply major
retailers in the UK, Europe and the USA.

Angelo Panayiotou, Chairman and CEO of Designer Vision said:

"The download market is growing rapidly and Designer Vision's players are easy
to use and offer consumers exceptional value compared to competitor player
products.

supplying one of the world's best known and respected retailers, we expect to

DVS gets noticed in the Daily Mail today.

Loan Facility, Conversion to Equity and Placing


Designer Vision, a leading supplier of portable multi media systems, announces
that it has drawn down the £600,000 balance of its £1m loan facility in order
to finance recently announced orders.

Headstart Funds ("Headstart") has today issued a conversion notice in respect
of the £400,000 convertible redeemable loan notes issued to them in respect of
the £400,000 drawdown by the Company on 13 June 2006. In the conversion notice
Headstart has directed that the 7,272,728 shares issued pursuant to that notice
(the "Conversion Shares") be issued and placed with investors at 5.5p per share
(who will subscribe a total of £400,000 for the Conversion Shares).

Application has been made to The London Stock Exchange for the Conversion
Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue, to be
admitted to AIM, and admission is expected to become effective on
26 September 2006.

More dilution.

Big contracts need big money to fund them, as they are not cash rich they either had to borrow money (pay interest on that), issue more shares or do both. Long term story hasn't changed I'm happy to hold for 2 years.

New US$4m contract to supply DVD and MP3 Players

Designer Vision, a leading supplier of portable multimedia systems, announces
that it has secured a further contract with a major retail customer in the USA
to supply Designer Vision branded DVD and MP3 players. The order is valued at
US$4million. The order will be delivered before the key Christmas trading
period.

Looks to me like the days traders / short term investors are playing with this stock. This will all change when the year end figures are out next year in March.

Hopefully you are right.
If I am not mistaken, 2006 is the first year (interim) in which DVS has shown a profit, so hopefully the year end figures will show the same.

Doesn't it make you wish you had sold at 8p. Athough I read in the Shares Mag some time ago that statistically people who jump in and out of shares make less profit than those who sit tight. Therefore your timing is more wrong than right.
