IDG 13 October 2009 I-DESIGN GROUP PLC ("i-design") Trading Update i-design, which supplies a market leading ATM advertising solution ("atmAd"), enabling ATM network owners to run both third party advertising and their own internal marketing campaigns, today provides the following update on trading for the year ended 30 September 2009. The Board is pleased to report that results for the year will be in line with current market expectations and that the cash position is expected to close above current market forecasts, at approximately £1.7 million. The Directors look forward to updating shareholders further on trading and prospects when final results are issued at the end of November 2009.

Broker valuation The uncertain banking climate and the difficult economic environment for advertising has delayed any breakthrough the black for i-design, which runs third-party advertising on cash machines. So Arbuthnot, the AIM listed company’s broker, which has been forecasting breakeven in 2008-09 is now predicting a ore-tax loss of £300,000. But the company remains confident of further growth after doubling revenues to £2m last year. It had £1.6m of net cash at the year-end and described continuing talks with potential new customers as ‘positive’. Companies as diverse as Vodafone and Nestle are advertising on 4,500 machines out of the 12,000 licensed to use the software. The shares, which were 67p on flotation last year closed at 18,5p yesterday. Arbuthnot now believes the shares are massively undervalued and has retained its buy recommendation, setting a target price of 32p.

Good RNS Looks like trade is on the up GLA http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-news/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10228729

Fair shout mate,personally i see ECV as a good recovery share and a longer term investment.I also agree trying to change the majority will be hard for ECV but what i do feel they have is an established and trusted market for London Taxi drivers,who would have said many years ago the Horse and carrage would be replaced. Things change markets change and customers expect more. I could have sold last week at a reasonable profit but havent and indeed i topped up today but only time will tell if i have made the correct call. Bought into another company today IDG Again a company that has survived the recession and building there customer base and doing very well ,so we will see i will take a look at nvr and mst Thanks! i do feel this is a great time to build a strong portfolio for the future. GL in all your investments OT

and the Merc saves money "For the cabbie, the Mercedes is giving him 27 or 28 miles per gallon compared with 20 mpg on their old model if they're are lucky. That's £7 or £8 a day, £40 or £50 a week. That matters." Full article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1216922/London.html

Volkswagon use ATM AD "Volkswagen’s efficiency campaign is designed to help customers save fuel and cut emissions. The ATM advertisements are part of a wider, integrated advertising campaign, which also includes press, online and a variety of outdoor formats. The atmAd campaign is expected to reach some 3 million drivers across 562 petrol stations during the period."

Liverpool City Council was also found to have breached the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). In a landmark judgement the Court found that, contrary to the Council’s claims, its existing hackney taxi fleet – composed mainly of LTI’s ‘London-style’ cabs – was not safely accessible to all wheelchairs. By failing to take steps to improve matters by licensing the E7, which has a larger flat floor area for manoeuvring and securing wheelchairs - the Council had failed in its legal duty and discriminated directly against a significant number of wheelchair users. Very interesting would you not agree!

If the new ECV Hybrid canter looks like this http://www.gizmag.com/go/8250/gallery/ i wouldnt mind one.

No reason for the drop rusty just a few profit takers.

Take a look at MNGS They make the black cab having a torrid time at the mo. They produce the vehicles in Coventry and China. My research leads me to believe there is a possibility that they will move the operation to China have a look yourself. This year they hoped to sell 500 and looking good for that figure. I first thought that the black cab was an iconic fixture of London but when you delve deeper things are changing. Liverpool council has had a court case ruled against them regarding the turning circle of cabs (being the only reason they have had a monopoly) It seems likely the case will also be taken up in London .ECV or KPM are trusted by Cab drivers and in a very strong position i feel to gain a far larger slice of the market.

Wheelchair access is a big thing these days and a must. The olympics and para olympics are coming up soon and the Merc is already euro5 standard,it has alot going for it. The sales so far have been very good. Plus of course they can get an extra person in .The reports from drivers seem to be very good aswell.
