| Suggest that people take a look at this stock before it's too late. 100K max buy at 1.75 but max sell at 375K over the bid at 1.4. Company turns over £66M and has a market cap of £3.3M!! Yes £3.3 M! They have cash in the bank worth £11.6M according to yesterdays figures. They do have pension liabilities but that has not held back other companies which have sorted themselves out.

| Mr Giovanni Ghione (company Director) purchased 5million shares at 2p each on 16th March 2010. Increasing his holding to 10.15% of company and 22.8million shares. Usually a good sign for a firm. BUY By Paza75 |

| 16:22 10/03/2010 | Pension Deficit |
| I suppose I am talking to myself here. But I cannot understand how a small company has a pension deficit of almost £20 million and is able to keep trading as a going concern. Their UK bankers (GMAC) say they don't want to continue with them, and the directors state they face the future with confidence! Can someone, anyone, please explain. I like the look of this company, products etc, but if the pension deficit can increase by £14 million in one year it has to make any equity or debt investor nervous. By nateast99 |

| DWSN 1 February 2010 DAWSON INTERNATIONAL PLC ("the Company") Trading Update Dawson International PLC, the international textiles group, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the year ended 2 January 2010. Continuing Operations A strong final quarter from both our UK and US Knitwear businesses more than offset continued weakness in our Home Furnishings business and so it is anticipated that sales and profits for continuing operations will be ahead of market expectations for the year. The UK Knitwear business benefited from the timing of high margin sales to couture customers which significantly improved margins in the final quarter. This is likely to have some negative impact on the first quarter of 2010 with the sales mix impact reversing. The US Knitwear business sustained sales and margins through the final quarter in spite of the fragile US economic environment. In particular, in-season sales of branded lines and overall margin levels were both stronger than expected. The Private Label Home Furnishings business has experienced poor margins throughout the year with the significant decline in Sterling compared with the US dollar impacting its cost of sales. While this improved somewhat in the second half of the year it is anticipated that the business will report a small loss overall. As expected, the Branded Home Furnishings business continued to incur trading losses as we manage an exit following the sale of the Dorma brand to Dunelm Group plc in 2008. This exit will be completed in the first half of 2010. Discontinued Operations We noted in our 2009 interim report that the discontinued Todd & Duncan business traded at a loss in the first half of the year with further trading losses expected in the period to disposal on 28 August. This proved to be the case with the business also requiring an additional provision of GBP0.5m for doubtful debts. King Deer As noted in our 2008 annual report and 2009 interim report, the Company had a long standing debt due to it by Inner Mongolia King Deer Cashmere Company Limited of approximately $10 million which was fully provided against. A payment plan was agreed during the year in accordance with which $0.5 million was received in the first half of the year and $1.0 million in the second half. Considering the age of the debt, the Company considers it appropriate to retain a provision for the outstanding balance at this time. Pensions The Company is currently finalising its accounts for 2009 which will include an updated actuarial valuation of defined benefit pension scheme liabilities. This is expected to reflect the general market trend and therefore show a significant deterioration, principally due to lower corporate bond yields and increased longevity assumptions. By Paza75 |

| A positive result for the company. The removal of the chairman must be a good sign that there will be changes in the company in the near future and a more positive outlook. Hopefully it is not too late. Some volume on the share trading will be the next encouraging sign. At the moment the spread is too wide and volume too low to buy. Keep watching. By Alchmann |

| His acquisition of shares and building up a larger stake should be seen as a positive. Ultimatley this should lead to replacement of some of the current senior directors and improved fortunes of the group. Good news. By dormaman |

| I understand from a contact that they have used the 5 million from the sale of dorma to help the cashmere business and will raise quite a bit from the sale of the spinning unit. The moves made could consolidate the remaining parts of the group into a smaller more profitable business, lets hope so. Good Luck. By dormaman |

| I'd be happy for them to give the spinning business away of they could get rid of the pension fund with it. By Another Jacko |
