DIGITAL VIDEO SYSTEMS RECEIVES GOING CONCERN OPINION

 
     
  Palo Alto, CA., 04/22/05

Digital Video Systems, Inc., said today that its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes a going concern qualification.

Nasdaq rules require a listed company to publicly announce if its annual report includes an audit opinion containing a “going concern” – that is, a paragraph from the company’s independent accountants expressing substantial doubt as to the company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations over the next 12 months.

DVS said the reasons cited by its auditors, Stonefield Josephson, Inc., for the going concern paragraph include that DVS has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency and deficit in stockholders' equity, that raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.

DVS Chairman and CEO Tom Spanier commented, "We are taking steps to address our current financial situation, and we continue to believe we will be successful."
