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.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Techno, however if you bought for the longterm, the price now shouldn't concern you too much. Next year it will be history, I think we are onto a winner here. I wouldn't mind if the price stayed quiet till December when I can buy a load more, but if it has shot up by then I won't be complaining either as I already hold a fair few - a win win situation!

Thats been my plan since I first invested end of February and hold for 2 years to get the full AIM tax relief as well.

Agreed Techno. I also first bought in February, but have unfortunately added at much higher prices, so am currently sitting on a loss. I'm not concerned, in terms that in a years time (much sooner hopefully), I will be sitting on a nice profit, but I am annoyed at the timing of my purchases - if I were buying now I would hold alot more.

I'm in the same boat Frampton, I bought in very early and bought more as the story unfolded but bought at much higher levels then at present so looking at a small lose at present.

Same here.....but feel very confident for the future,tempted to dip in again!

I bought at 8.25p, so a notional loss here also.
I do feel that the order book is a little bit hand to mouth. A large, steady long trem contract to supply would, imo, be better for the company and the sp.
The U.S. order needs to be completed by this Xmas & the European contract has to be completed within 90 days which is not looking very far in to the future.
The Virgin contract is hopefully going to be the money spinner, but I feel that DVS need to have a few more irons in the fire.

Ouch! Not looking so good now. Is there something in the closet we don't know about?

Getting closer to my short term target of 3p and closer to my longer term one of 2p.

Maybe investors selling as there is little action here compared to say Stanelco.

Here is a post from the other BB.

reply email from Angelo Panayiotou this afternoon:


Hi John,



Thank you for your email.



I cannot explain the current share price particularly after all the good news that has been released relating to big contract wins and high value orders, as the Chairman of the company I will be doing presentations to City institutions very soon in order to gain institutional support for the company which will hopefully rectify the current low share price in Designer Vision Group PLC.



As for whether or not you should buy stock in DV this has to be your own decision, I couldnt possibly comment either way, from my side the company is on a very secure footing with a strong order book and is outperforming all forecasts that are in the public arena.



I hope this helps.



Kind regards,

From the look at the chart we should be at the bottom looking for a move back up again. If the current trend continues will won't see 8p again until December unless we get some fantastic news.

Took a couple of days but here is our move upwards.

Nearly bought a few more on the drop this morning, shame.

It's good to see this going in the right direction again. I'm glad I bought a few more this morning and yesterday, pity I didn't have the nerve to get them when it was below 5p...

What I like is that the price is still following the trend.

DESIGNER VISION GROUP PLC

("Designer Vision" or the "Company")

PLACING

Designer Vision is pleased to announce that it has placed 10,500,000 new
ordinary shares of 1p each at a placing price of 5 pence per share raising
525,000 before expenses.

Application has been made to The London Stock Exchange for the Placing 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 24 November 2006.

The Company is raising these funds to provide additional working capital ahead
of the anticipated order flow for current year. In addition, the Company has
signed a number of new global OEM contracts details of which will be released in
due course. The management believes that the order book from these new contracts
will be increased by 5 million over the next 12 months.

Angelo Panayiotou, Chief Executive, commented:

"This placing demonstrates the enthusiasm of investors as we continue to win
significant orders both in our retail and OEM divisions.

"The company continues to go from strength to strength and I look forward to
announcing further details of these significant new orders in the near future."

Not done much for the SP. It is down 4.26% on the day and more than 30% down from its high.

Considering the large number of contracts they have had recently many of which should have been fullfilled by now and generated profits (?), tney have quite an appetite for cash.

Had opportunity to take part in placing of DVS on Monday; didn't have the free cash but decided to take a look. Positives appear to be position in growth markets, bullish Chairman report, low pe, significant increase projected in order book, just moved into profits. Concerns appear to be the need for additional fund-raising and perhaps the cut-throat nature of the market (i.e. away from the in-car entertainment base). I wonder why the price fell on the interims; perhaps bigger turnover jump expected but they did move into profits. Would appreciate any insights.

EW...would be interested to know how the opportunity to take some of the pacing came about...was it a private placing? i am ana holder and did not get the chance to participate

Treblewide. Don't see any reason for secrecy as it is could be in NOMAD's interest. Hoodless Brennan act as NOMAD for DVS and clearly offered the placing to people on their client list. Terms not particularly beneficial but no commission charges and 10 days to pay. I have made money through them in past and they do come up with some interesting offerings. Having not been in a position to respons on this occasion I could well buy in the market but looking for a better perspective on the company first. My reading is that they do have a very strong position in the in-car market but that is limited in size in this country although they are making in-roads in the US. The hand held market seems much more cut throat and I wonder if they have any USPs.
