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.

looking for a good 20p as the foundations seem to be solid

Yes agreed - around 15p - 20p seems about right from what I've read so far, longer term 40p?

Certainly 20p by EOY

Buy and tuck away is my advice FWIW

H.

Designer Vision have a new Lifestyle product called the DVX-POD coming soon and looks the business.

My exit stragegy for DVS is a Stop-Loss 20% below current price and move it up on major moves. Hopefully I don't sell too soon that way.

Very slow today, would expect a drop tomorrow if there is no news. Although if it drops people waiting in the wings to get on at under 8p again.

Support level hopefully 7.5p, it's a gamble being out when news could be announced anytime.

Looks like it may be on the way down for a while. It was a bit of a steep rise without any indication of what profit they might make from recent deals.

Start of the next leg up.

Another tick up. Punters will be scrambling to get in soon.

Off we go again, slow start to the week but some movement again at last.

Designer Vision Group PLC

("Designer Vision" or the "Company")

Ex-Investment Banker Joins Designer Vision

Designer Vision Group PLC, a leading supplier of multimedia systems to the
retail and automotive industries, is pleased to announce the appointment of
Zafarullah (Zafar) Karim as a non-executive director with immediate effect.
After leaving Cambridge University, Zafar joined Saloman Brothers and
subsequently was assistant Director with NM Rothschild until 2002. He has over
a decade of experience in mergers and acquisitions and raising capital.

Angelo Panayiotou, Chairman and CEO of Designer Vision commented

"We are delighted to have Zafar join and strengthen the Board of Designer
Vision. His extensive International investment banking experience will be very
valuable in the ongoing strategic development of the business."

Bodes well.

Can anyone out there advise me, as a potential investor in DVS, what the potential is here for capital growth? DVS turned over 2.5m in 2004 but showed a 331k loss. In 2005 they turned over 9.2m but still showed a 370k loss. I am guessing that the attraction here is what may happen with the new contracts and a rise in the share price to match. But is it just hope or am I missing something more fundamental?

The deals they have won where we have a value come to around 17 million dollars plus the numerus other deals we don't have a value. We expect them to announce they are into profit, gross profit is maybe 5 - 12%.

I take it on good authority that some people have spoken to the FD.

One of the points mentioned by the FD is that Margins are improving.

Furthermore the company said that it will be profitable during this year.

Gotta love the amounts of contracts won.....with more on the way ( see RNS's ).

Cheers for the upbeat comments.
One other question: The new guy on the board has been employed & I quote:
"After leaving Cambridge University, Zafar joined Saloman Brothers and
subsequently was assistant Director with NM Rothschild until 2002. He has over
a decade of experience in mergers and acquisitions and raising capital."
Presumably this might mean another share issue or similar if DVS is a bit strapped for cash?
I now have a stake in DVS, so these are meant to be constructive questions!

The chairmans statement in the annual report said they were "looking to make further acquisitions in 2006 to complement our existing business". So maybe they are looking to use the "mergers and acquisitions" skils. Although I would've thought any reasonably sized acquisition would require some raising of capital too.

As ever......In my opinion, do your own research, etc.

Strawbs.

Welcome aboard Harrycat, enjoy the ride.

Thanks Techno.
No complaints so far!
