Dowgate Capital - Capitalising on the booming AIM market (DGT)
overgrowth

Dowgate Capital (DGT) are sitting in the middle of a goldmine! This company through their sole trading arm City Financial Associates are looking to take full advantage of the "booming" AIM market this year. Dowgate provide NOMAD (NOMinated ADvisor) services to AIM companies and also have full Corporate Broker status which means that they can fund placements on behalf of the companies they represent. |

On first sight, the fact that Dowgate exist in the often veiled financial services sector makes you think twice about investing in company such as this because it would be impossible to understand what they were doing - however, think again! DGT bring new companies to the AIM (Alternative Investment Market). For each new company "floated" on AIM, they take arrangement fees when acting as NOMAD. After the company is launched then for a nice steady earner DGT get another healthy chunk of cash every year for looking after them (note that all AIM companies must have a nominated adviser - thereby securing a ready source of recurring income). Because DGT also act as a Corporate broker they can get a very healthy percentage for arranging placement of shares with insititutions before a new company floats. In addition, because placements come outside the sphere of yearly NOMAD work, they can also gain healthy percentages of placements which companies may need to make throughout the year when they need a quick injection of cash to speed growth. Current NOMADships: 28 companies represented (gives recurring income of approx 480,000 per year) Current on-going Brokerage agreements: 19 companies (income depends on placements) For flotations, depending on the size of a company, fees charged will be anything from 50,000 to 100,000+ For placements (the real earner), DGT get anything from 3% to around 12% of the TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED - For example a new company raising 3M though a placement will earn DGT anything from 90,000 to 360,000 ! These figures are indicative as actual deals all differ due to circumstances and DGT sometimes take payment in shares - they still have a tasty chunk of Setstone shares and when this Russian exploration company comes back to AIM, predictions are that the share price will rocket. Note that the amount that this little company can earn in fees is huge and every new deal that comes through we know will contribute another healthy chunk into the bottom line. The good news with every new floatation means that it's another chunk of recurring revenue which could go on for years, with DGT having to do very little. New clients gained in 2005 are: Mediazest (NOMAD & broker) Elite Strategies (NOMAD) Process Handling (NOMAD) Poland Investment Fund (NOMAD) Nanotech Energy (NOMAD & broker) Archimedia Ventures (NOMAD & broker) Red Leopard Holdings (NOMAD) Alba Mineral Resources (NOMAD & broker) Intandem Films (NOMAD & broker) Motive Television (NOMAD) IncaGold (NOMAD) Sportswinbet (NOMAD & Broker) Infoscreen Networks (NOMAD & Broker) Mark Kingsley (NOMAD & Broker) Croatia Ventures (NOMAD & Broker) Pantheon Leisure (NOMAD) Firenze Ventures (Ofex Advisor) FlightStore Group (NOMAD & Broker) Euro Capital Projects (NOMAD) Pearl Street Holdings (NOMAD) Worldwide Natural Resources (Ofex Advisor) Dovedale Ventures (Ofex Advisor) Other 2005 work completed:Neptune-Calculus VCT offer for subs of up to 12 million Advisory work for TGM on London Bus disposal for 20.4M Advisory work for Creightons on property disposal Advisory work for Hampton Trust on company restructuring Advisory work for Interbulk Investments on acquisition of Inbulk Advisory work for Fundamental-e Investments on two disposals Advisory work for Designer Vision re: Design Rights against Centurion Electronics Click Here for fundamentals and profit projections. |

Looks like patience is beginning to pay off for the longer term holders. Not sure why the SP should start to be rising like this, on what is relatively small volumes. I do get the feeling that something is going on behind the scenes (filling a large buy order?) or something of that ilk perhaps.
Buisness is looking good once again and assuming that they haven't gone mad on H2 bonuses DGT will report an operating profit for last year.
Anyway, whatever is going on, I'm happy to hold.

I am just wondering whether I actually inadvertently triggered the whole show. Had realised most of the holding to support lifestyle demands - you know what they are. Decided to come back in with 10K which I needed to put by the dealer: the trading max yesterday morning was 100K anyway. So I did a protected trade at .53p with a guarantee of 500K. They offered to do the lot at close of play for 0.60 but I took the 500K which was shown as a sell. Had another go this morning with a protected trade at 0.58p with a guarantee of 250K. Off the price went probably influenced by my guy trying to pull in some stock. There was obviously no way that I would get them at 0.58p so I took the 250K (again shown as a sell) and set them looking for the balance at 0.67p. Finally bought these in at the close, some 850K at 0.68p.
Thought there would be some interest in this process. Shows how narrow the market is. Clearly one or two other relatively small traders looking for shares at the same time. Not surprising with the results indicated at the end of February. What this does show is that the sp will move rapidly on a modicum of interest. This happened at the interims and the extra volatility gave the opportunity for some to take good profits before the price fell back. Anyway, glad to be back in the million club. I'll pop back in later to explain the basis of my bullish views. Can't see shares being dragged out of you folk prior to the results so the key thing is: what happens then?

I haven't had to cash any in so still hold my million and will keep the faith.

I said that I would comment further on case for buying. The first point is confidence in the management team. Rawlinson said that H2 would be a period of consoilidation. The first action in 2006 was the appointment of another consultant (25% increase) indicating strong trading.
I've looked at your figures, stockdog, and suspect that they are over-cautious. Not a criticism. However, your H2 figure is less than H2 of 2004 which is unlikely. It seems to me that a reasonable assumption is that H1 is matched which would give profit figures of 580K. It is likely that some first half bookings were delayed into the second half given the policy of not taking credit until the assignment is completed. That implies earnings per share of 0.094p. Even a dividend is possible given that the company is cash flow positive. If a dividend is not forthcoming that itself is positive given that the reason would likely to be funds required for expansion. Interesting how aggressive the external shareholders might be in encouraging growth as contrasted, say, with stability which I suspect is Rawlinson's style.
Given the expansion in capacity the expectation would then be for not less than 25% growth in 2006 and an earning per share of 0.12p. Given a positive statement then pe should not be less than 10, perhaps on a projected basis which gives a likely price of 1p to 1.2p. Thats my target price range and explains why I have come back in relatively heavily (for me). I can't see any downside to the current price and there could be significant upside on these figures. You could see them wanting a share issue to remove them from the negative image of being a 'penny share'. Note that 1p is only 6.2m cap. Perhaps analysts will be looking not too far ahead to a cap. of 10m.
Finally, we are really privaleged to be able to hold shares in such a little nugget with a strong position in a niche market. Normally, such a company would be private, except that, in this case, they are selling flotation services so need to be afloat themselves!
Believe this will be post 1947. Wish my grandad had bought some shares in some fledgling financial company, even Royal Bank, in 1947. Tuck some away for our grandchildren?

I expect this will put us on a few radars.
From UK-analyst.com
Shares in smaller company Nomad and broker Dowgate shot ahead by 0.1p to 0.64p. The company, which was highly profitable at the half way stage, has recently won a number of new clients, though as yet, has not made an official announcement. Bulletin board comments were largely responsible for the interest, though it would appear the huff and puff may be warranted, with Dowgate seemingly motoring on all fronts of its operations. With the stock now trading almost 45% higher than it was a week ago, a statement should really be made.

Huff and puff my derriere! Reckon they should thank me for pointing them towards a bloody good investment.
Oh well, I'm glad it's all kicked off. Time to sit back and enjoy.

Guys, Ladies... please chill!
Like Butane, I have owned this stock right back to Abinger and CFA (CFP) days albeit taking 2 lots of profit en route. Now I am sitting on a big "paper loss" having been "guided" back in by 2 amigos (sorry, guys - I won't mention names here!!). Think we can best summarise the New Regime, as follows, IMHO: -
Blah, blah
Markus, mention all the names you like, both myself and Eric are well aware of whom you refer to! I have told you this privately, but seeing that you insist on harping on about your paper loss, let me try the public route to hammer the message home.
1. Had you bought when I first recommended, you would have cleared almost if not 100% profit.
2. Yes, I did believe that the SP would continue to rise above 1p last year and was caught out by the fact that it did not. That belief cost me in profit twice as much as your total investment. So do me a favour and don't bang on about paper losses, it works both ways.
3. Ultimately, I did sell two thirds of my holding, but at a much reduced profit margin. So actually, I didn't suffer a paper loss, it was real (in profit terms).
You were advised / tipped (call it what you will) in good faith, as many of us are in this game, if it doesn't work out, don't look to blame others, put it down to experience at the end of the day, you made the decision.
Oh, and we won't mention CSH...................lol
