__________________________________________________________________
Company History
Ekay was established by Eddie Powell (Chief Executive) in October 1994 to create a full-service advertising agency specialising in direct response advertising to the sub-prime broking, debt consolidation and mortgage broking sectors.
The business was incorporated as Ekay Advertising and Marketing Limited on 20 April 1999.
Ekay's position now in the market is that of a specialist in direct response advertising. This is the process of providing advertising through media targeted at a specific audience, with the aim of creating a direct response from the consumer, typically an enquiry for a product or service. Ekay offers a complete direct marketing solution to its clients, utilising both off the page advertising and direct mail solutions. An advantage of direct response is its easy measurement of effectiveness, relative to other marketing forms. The Company offers a complete design and strategy service, for its clients.
The business has grown rapidly over the past three years into a significant direct response advertising agency in the UK, and on 24 November 2005, Ekay Advertising and Marketing Limited became a public limited company and changed its name to Ekay PLC, prior to its admission to AIM in January 2006.

Notice of Results Ekay PLC 8th Feb 2006
Notification of Interim Results
Ekay PLC, ("Ekay" or the "Company")the full service advertising agency which
was admitted to AIM last month will announce its interim results to 31st
December 2005 on 20th February 2006.
This will be Ekay's first set of results as a quoted company and are expected
to show a period of achievement higher than at any time in the Company's twelve
year history.
________________________________________________________________
Extract from www.allnewissues.com write up, conclusion was buy if you can get your hands on some.
Background - Ekay, a direct marketing business, is a profitable company, throwing off cash of around 750,000 a year. It had bank balances of 1.7 million at the year end to June 2005 and is currently valued at a very reasonable 7.9 million
Operations - Edward Powell learnt the tricks of the advertising trade at The Mirror Group, where he spent a few years selling advertising space to both financial and advertising companies. Convinced that a full service advertising agency was the way ahead, he set off to start his own business specialising in direct response advertising, selling to the sub-prime broking, debt consolidation and mortgage broking sectors. Ekay was born in 1994 and the business was incorporated as Ekay Advertising and Marketing Limited in 1999. The company now provides specialist advice to clients, telling them how best to use various forms of media to get the message across to their target audiences. The focus is on direct marketing which facilitates immediate response, allowing the client to calculate the exact return on advertising spend. Ekay claims to have a history of long term relationships with its clients, some of whom have been on the books since 1999. Ekay's current focus is television, and the board believes it is a 'recognised expert and market leader' in this niche sphere. It is hoping that its entry into new media - SMS, text messages and web advertising - will boost its sales and push its profits higher. The business focus is on the financial services sector at the moment, but recent contract wins seems to have pushed the company into other areas.
Business Development - While the business is charging ahead in terms of organic growth, Powell is keen on buying smaller, complementary marketing services in order to enhance profits growth. Ekay has set up a design department to provide online media services, in house. The team has also identified regional marketing opportunities and might establish regional hubs. Ekay is confident of maintaining its position in the market as it sees advertising spend increasing, digital media becoming more popular, and technology improving. Most of EKay's revenues come from commission generated by the owner of the media space. It also charges a one off fee for its design and consulting services. And while it has predominantly catered to the financial services sector, Ekay has started working with national car dealerships, surgery clinics and shopping centres. The business has a strong record of profitability and has recorded consistent growth over the last three years. While turnover has more than trebled from 6.4 million in 2003 to 20.1 million in June 2005, profits have quadrupled from 208,299 to 751,550 in the year to June 2005. There is clearly no immediate need to pass the hat around as the company has stated that it has working capital to survive for another 12 months.
In the first half of the current year, trading levels have been encouraging. The group has added on six new accounts to its client portfolio and client billings for the first quarter has been the highest since the company's incorporation. The icing on the cake - the business intends to pay out a large chunk of its profits in dividends.
___________________________________________________________________
My feelings on EKY, firstly they have cash in the bank (around 1.7m) but earnings enhancing acquisitions could be done cash, debt or the paper way . If you look at EPS, then on a historic basis with profit after tax being 751K for year to June 2005 then last year EPS was 2p so at 25p they are on a historic PER of x 12.5. Considering there should be a very decent dividend paid out, that to me is too low, and with earnings enhancing acquisitions being lined up, I see potential for some very strong growth with plenty of earnings upgrades and a rising price. Worth having a holding in I think, things could get exciting come interim results in Feb.

This one has the potential for a very nice rise, given that interim results will be posted in February, so around 4 to 6 weeks away now, and given the listing price, its not overvalued and could have plenty of upside in the figures, and plenty of upside in the price given they will be paying dividends and so command a high rating.

According to Hemscott the estimated interim date is 14th Feb, we can take that as first guess, but I think just saying sometime in Feb will be more accurate.

skyhigh did you get into EKay yet ? Nothing exciting happening as yet, it will probably draw some headlines when the interims come out next month, should be a very strong set and potential for a good earnings per share figure (my estimate would be 1p minimum or 1.75p max).
Will be very interesting what happens on those results, there is some serious potential for a strong move upwards given the very tight hold on the shares.

We are due interims in Feb, I am guessing either week 3 or week 4. This will be the time we can see just what is happening at EKY, and have the been listed at an undervalued price, I do think they have, and I do think during 2006 this will move upwards.
I am hoping for the same kind of growth, earnings, and earnings enhancing acquisitions as has been seen with SMC since listing.

Looks like my colleagues got in just before the 1st rise. Their question is, is this a long term / short term play and what gains are we expecting? Perhaps do we just play it by ear?
They were keen to get in on the action because they missed my last tip VOG. Not really any skill on my part because you had to be on Mars to miss that one.

Technotamed, this should be one to grow, so I would expect a gentle upward trend, sideways movement, then up, then sideways. Its not going to jump on anything but news and interest (buying pressure). Short term there could be a spike upwards and retrace, but I would say, based on prospective figures and that we should be getting a full year dividend, that as far as I see, these are presently worth 30p a share or a bit more, I cannot say any more until we get the interims, then we can start to make some estimates based on latest earnings figures, so a short term target for me would be 35p in 3 to 6 months (which is a fair gain from the present 25p).
Shearershearer, this is the best thing to do with something like EKY, small holding, and gradually build it a little a a time, if things progress well, then add a little more.

From the close of the spread and the tick up we had last week, I would expect any buying pressure now to keep rising the price. Interims this month, could be anytime after mid month, so keep a watch on these I think.

A buy at over 24.50, given the bid coming up last week, it means spare stock is running out, some more buys and we should be ticking up, which is a nice state to be in with interims just around the corner :)

This stock has a smaller free float that STTM, and better financials I say, but looked what happened to STTM today, it could happen to EKY if it gets just a small rush of buys, which might happen when people see a very good set of interims that should be coming our way soon.

"It had bank balances of 1.7 million at the year end to June 2005" so add into this some more cash for the first 6 months, thats plenty of money to spend on an earnings enhancing acquisition, so perhaps cash and shares then, and a few companies spread over 2006, might we be looking at generating a very much higher earnings figure by year end, on the same basis that SMC has listed and grown ;)
The other good thing about EKY, being in advertising, they know all about the importance of news flow and saying the right things at the right time, so there is a level of faith in that they will not be slow or shy in getting the good news out I think.

The shares are scarce and very hard to get hold of. Luckily I bought mine yesterday as soon I saw the announcement. Almost 100 % in profit already (that doesn't happen often).
I see no reason to sell before 20th, and depending on the results, considering holding these long term.
I think we'll see profit taking along the way, but those will be snapped up by the eager buyers as the word spreads around. You don't come across a situation like this often in the stock market.
Papal, you seem to leave gold dust wherever you pass these days...

bugz, although it may settle down now after the peak this morning, there is more to come with the interims on the 20th I think and well worth keeping a close eye on Eddies statement.
Should be a solid company going forward, and certainly will be more known to people now. I just wish some of this rise would go over to ACC, its struggling to wake up and that is with results soon and also an excellent pre close update, it needs some loving.

Thanks for your concern, but most investors can devise their own strategy. Methinks you missed the boat. The buying price of 25p will not be seen again.

Well done Technotamed, some lucky people got in at 16.5p today, you have done right to just watch for now. I have been adding at 17.25 recently on UNG. All pointers are good, so lets hope they are for real as well, if so then UNG could go very much upwards come results in March.
Ted1 - 10 Feb 2006 19:00 - 74 of 151
I got in ACC yesterday just b4 the rise.
What I am wondering is how far can EKY with the run up to results because the sp is overvalued now isn't it?
But there again what do I know.

britshare LOL :) I wouldn't follow me, too risky ;) TAG is a good one and news flow this year should boost it big time, ACC looks solid with results due, UNG looks solid but is volatile so far this year.
Ted EKY is around a "fully valued" level given we do not have the figures, these will come with interims. If the figures are very good it could go higher, if they are just good it will stabilise around the 40p to 50p level I think.

In fact, for the next two weeks, given results due on LEAD, results due on ACC and news on TAG for flow rates and Colombia license deal I will go for in Feb;
TAG, LEAD and ACC all up a fair amount this month.
EKY could move further, now it depends on the figures and outlook statement from results on the 20th.

Goldfinger, I have been surprised at your comments on here , and on AFN under your hedgehunter name, I assume you went short after missing the rise ? It was a good rise, and now we wait for results, but the small free float will help support the price, a small retrace may happen, but it might stay here or go higher. Results statement is key now. Good luck to all.

Ted1, fully chilled out :) At present levels going into results, EKY is near enough fully valued, and the figures are needed now to either support the present SP or not, as well as point to any chance of further short term upwards movement. If I was you I would perhaps top slice EKY to get back your investment money, leave the rest on a free ride, as it cost you nothing once you take out your investment in the top slice, and that way you have some EKY riding free and also some cash to spend on other shares. After such a good rise there will be the hovering shorters ready to pounce in on any profit taking, par for the course. Eddie Powell is in advertising though, and he knows the power of news, so expect plenty of good things ahead on EKY in the year to come.

I bought into this share recently having watched the company for a while, was encouraged when I saw Papal's BB so thanks PP! Results are very encouraging and the future looks good for Ekay, they have the right, aggresive, strategy for their field of play and should be great for a long term hold. Having said that, I confess I sold half my holding today to lock in profits and spread elsewhere; there is no way I will let my remaining shres go, they are part of my retirement plan now!

Its a strong set of results and strong going forward. We will have some profit taking now no doubt as it was a quick rise, but the future is looking good, and would expect some strong buying in the summer ahead of prelims.
Keep an eye on BIT, I hear that news is coming and fund raising is done, if this is the case, then it should rise strongly when more information is available on the new Internet Gaming.

shame about the hits on the profits...the only fly in the ointment!
otherwise it looks good overall... wonder what'll happen to the sp now?

My take would be "mixed". Strong results, growth etc.. an earnings enhancing acquisition and good looking forward are the positives.

Managed to sell @ 48p earlier.. was hoping for a follow thru but it didn't happen. Still, can't complain as sold at 100% profit. Expect this to drift down a bit more before going quiet for a while... may get back in the run up to next results

thanks PP.. I have to admit it was your tip that got me interested in this. I've had so man disasters in the past where I missed taking profits by not selling and then watching the sp dive.. so it's nice to get it right for a change.. although I do think EKY is still a good a good bet with good potential (imho)
