DIGITAL VISION INC. ANNOUNCES 4TH
QUARTER 2006 RESULTS
HONG KONG, February 20, 2007 - Digital
Vision Inc. (DVi) today announced its business results* for the
4th quarter and calendar year of 2006. For the three months ending
December 31, 2006 revenue increased 40% versus the prior
quarter. In 2006 unit shipments increased every quarter (excluding
trading in early 2006 which is no longer strategic for DVi due to
low margins), and exceeded three and one half million units
for the calendar year 2006. All shipments were for consumer devices
such as MP3 players, personal media players, DVD recorders, etc
.
In the 4th quarter DVi extended its product range
by shipping initial units of both flash memory and small form factor
displays, to complement the core product lines of integrated circuits
and hard disk drives. The company now provides the majority of
the major bill-of-material (BOM) components used in consumer electronics
applications along with providing complete solution designs.
Also during the quarter DVi won many new customers, bringing its
total customer base to over 170, mostly based in mainland China
Commenting on the results, Steve Wong, president
of DVi, said, "We are very proud of the results from our first year
of operations. The consumer electronics market overall, and especially
in China, is extremely competitive. For our company to exceed our
very aggressive targets is extremely rewarding. We are very pleased
that the strategic actions we successfully implemented throughout
2006 and our unique solution design capabilities have delivered
the expected business results"
Pete Andreyev, chairman of DVi, added, "The performance
of the entire DVi team and our valued partners was exceptional,
and I compliment them. We exceeded our shareholders' expectations
in all areas, most importantly being profitable in every quarter
excluding extraordinary expenses in Q4. Our business objectives
continue to be simple: grow unit shipments, revenue, and profit
every quarter. With the explosive growth in the consumer electronics
market, coupled with our leading design solution capabilities and
strong partnerships, we are very optimistic entering the New Year."
