I'm starting to have doubt in this counter.
Can anyone with experiences in reading fundamental analysis share some lights about this counter?
It might reach 0.235 next week!
Finally it is moving, but still pretty slow !

It expects net profit to increase in 2007 as sales show a double-digit percentage rise, thanks to 5 new customers.
Plastoform, with a market value of US$40 million, supplies PC audio speakers for Dell and Sony Corp, as well as hi-fi audio speakers for Victor Co. of Japan, through its major customer, Japan's Minebea Group. It also makes mobile phone speakers for BenQ-Siemens and multimedia speakers for U.K.-based Spectravideo.
"We're targeting a double-digit increase in sales in 2007, compared to last year's 6%, with the launch of our new products in the second half," Executive Chairman Michael Tse told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
"These products with new technologies will boost our gross margins, and we're aiming for a better profit in 2007 compared to last year."
Tse declined to forecast the earnings growth rate for 2007.
Tse said the new customer projects include making speakers for Gateway computers and developing custom-made speakers using THX technologies, which provide an enhanced audio experience and were created by movie director George Lucas.
To meet the increase in orders, Plastoform plans to spend HK$15 million in the next 12 months to expand its factory lines and machinery, boosting capacity by about 30%, said Financial Controller Freddy Fu.
Most of its production facilities are in China. The company, which listed last October, began as a plastics parts maker in 1982. It entered the computer audio business in the early 1990s and was bought out by CEO Chiu Kwong Fai and Tse in 1997.
Hi guys,

zhuge_liang Senior,
thks for the info.
Creative launches new range of high-fidelity docking speaker systems for MP3 music listening with the X-Fi Sound System Z600, PlayDock Z500 and TravelSound ZenV docking speakers.
Good move by Creative. Competition for Plastoform. This is causing Plastoform shares to fall.
Hi,
After Moneymind \\\\//// ChinaNewsAisa reported some company operations and market info of this company's strength in R&D of speakers for MP3 markets, seems this stock is warming up again ! Their major ODM client is Sony, Dell, etc.
But please be careful, their business is very competitive and new player or existing player is also strong like Creative, L.Lansing, logitech etc. This group of big boys also do or source their own products !
