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

overgrowth - 09 Feb 2005 20:52

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

A bit more work for CFA:

Fundamental-e Investments exploring fundraising after sale of Symphonix
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Fundamental-e Investments PLC said it is currently exploring ways of raising additional funding to provide for future working capital needs and corporate development of the restructured company.

The company today announced it has decided to sell one of its two remaining businesses -- Symphonix Ltd.

The other remaining business, Wilson and Garden Ltd, is currently operating slightly below management's expectations. The board said Wilson and Garden will now form the platform upon which it intends to rebuild the company.

Evening All

Emailed TR this morning asking him if everything was in results to do with JS/SB and got this reply also asked when website will be updated with intandem float :-

Andrew

In accordance with best accounting practice, we have provided for all known costs relating to 2004 in our accounts. This is not to say that unforeseen costs relating to these matters may arise in the future.

Mr Barclay and Mr Shaw continue to hold the warrants that they were awarded when the business (then called Abinger Investments plc) was established in 2001. These expire if unexercised in June 2006.

We do try and keep the website updated. Intandem is being added in.

Kind regards

Tony Rawlinson

Andy,

Warrants were mentioned in the prelims for FY 2003:

"When the Company was established, it was envisaged that the Company would grow
rapidly by acquisition and, accordingly, as an incentive to the founders, they
were awarded Warrants to subscribe (at 1p per share) for new Ordinary Shares for
up to 15% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time. In
fact, our primary success has been in growing the business activities of the
Group organically rather than by acquisition and, as a result, the Board has
sought and obtained the consent of the Warrant holders to cap the number of
Warrants to 15% of the present issued share capital of the Company.".

Looks as though the incentive didn't work lol !

EWRobson - 25 Apr 2005 20:23 - 449 of 2787

andy: a good buy at .42p! Shown as a sell as below the mid-price of .43p; otehr buys going through higher. Good that you are building up a good rapport with TR; seems we can expect website to be updated regularly. Our resident financiers, og and sd (anagram gods or dogs!) can then do their number crunching and we are ahead of the game. May be og is the god (with the ability to multiply share prices) and sd is the dog!

stockdog - 25 Apr 2005 21:56 - 450 of 2787

eric, maybe you are the insomniac, agnostic, dylexic that we've all been talking about, waking up in the middle of the night to wonder if there is a dog!

pth - let's get a bit more clarity on what exactly e-fundies plan to do before I build any numbers into my model, but this kind of repeat business from existing clients is obviously fundamental (sic) to the exponential growth of the business.

SD

stockdog - 25 Apr 2005 22:03 - 451 of 2787

og - something I've been meaning to ask - any chance of a smaller scale 1D chart at the top here - say 50% of what it currently is? Also, any chance of 10, 50 and 200dma being on the same time scale and even overlaid. This is possible from moneyAM's new charts (9dma, 50dma and 200dma to be accurate, althoguht I prefer 25dma instead of 9dma if possible) - except I don't know how you place it within a post.


Just a thought.

SD

EWRobson - 25 Apr 2005 22:38 - 452 of 2787

Just been looking at the chart for CFP and noticed something that is not clear from those above - better on the MoneyAM 6-month chart. There has been a trading channel from January until now with a 0.1p spread and rising gradient of just under 0.05p per month. Two options look likely, first, trading continues in this channel until June when we will be back to the 0.5p to 0.6p trading range. Alternatively, there will be a break N. as the resistance is tested again and broken. I suspect the latter! (surprise! surprise!). Reason is that we are back to the positive scenario of q3/q4 last year before the glitch but now with a leaner machine without the dead weights. It is also encouraging to see Rawlinson becoming more sensitive to the needs of investors: he will remain low key in forecasting terms, but business news is likely to be known well before we approach a trading statement on the half year in July. What sayeth the gods and dogs? Incidentally, sd, Honey is taking her role as dogmother to the new pup seriously, including the appropriate chastisement!

Eric

overgrowth - 25 Apr 2005 23:06 - 453 of 2787

Hi guys,

When I first set up the new thread someone asked for all the charts from the old thread.

However, I agree that as time has moved on we could have better charts - I'll see what I can do.

Eric - I agree that we're more likely to experience a sudden jump rather than gradual climb in sp - a couple more transactions in the bag should rekindle buying interest.

Cheers

og

EWRobson - 25 Apr 2005 23:18 - 454 of 2787

Well done, og; a lot clearer. Do I detect a golden cross in the offing? Loads of lolly anyway! Mind, haven't got my mind around this stochastic one; I wonder if that's one of sd's doggy tricks?

Eric

stockdog - 26 Apr 2005 02:11 - 455 of 2787

Thanks -og. I've been using this one myself for a while now and been following what eric's pointed out above - a gentle but persistent upward channel, that may or may not be on the verge of break out up through the 200dma dragging the 25dam and 50dma with it in possibly a golden cross - but not sure if 200dma will be heading north by then. If SP takes a liitle longer to cross the 200dma, the 200dma will also be heading north by the time 50dma crosses it in a true golden cross which will be a stronger signal that we are up into the next range.

Pretty weak volume all round - could do with some more umph in this direction soon.

Results now out--this one will probably sit quietly now for the next few months while the herd moves on to something else IMO-- gives time for us all to continue stake building!

overgrowth - 26 Apr 2005 11:09 - 457 of 2787

What herd ?

moneyplus - 26 Apr 2005 11:13 - 458 of 2787

The herd that caused the blips in the price--up-down-up! nice to see it staying up!!

EWRobson - 26 Apr 2005 12:01 - 459 of 2787

I knew we had dogs; now we have cows. Prefer bulls, being one myself! Good at the stud! If you look at the volume graph, its been a trickle for a while. Nothing higher than 20mill volume for the last couple of months. For heaven's sake that only 80K. One heavy sales day and high volume without sp movement in January (i think the Griffin saga). I think the conclusion is that the sp will continue to meander slowly until there is a day of decent volume. MMs unlikely to be holding stock so sp will need to rise sharply to shake out sellers if just one substantial buyer comes in. The low key nature of TRs report has delayed this event: I personally think that the implied trading statement was good enough for the spurt to have happened if TR had not been so cautious. Understand why but frustrating none the less. It'll probably take the 200ma a couple of months to flatten out. The conclusion of all this is that a significant move is unlikely until July - there was no trading statement last July so may need to have some friendly pressure applied to extract one then. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr - patience needed!

Eric

moneyplus - 26 Apr 2005 12:34 - 460 of 2787

I agree Eric--better explanation than me.

moneyplus - 26 Apr 2005 12:34 - 461 of 2787

I agree Eric--better explanation than me.

moneyplus - 26 Apr 2005 12:36 - 462 of 2787

By the way--are you interested in MOI? I have been adding small amounts recently after reading the thread and looking up the company. could be a good one for you and your dog!

EWRobson - 26 Apr 2005 12:54 - 463 of 2787

Thanks, moneyplus, looks interesting. I see there has been a recent placing which trades from 28th. How do you read that? See andysmith, on a bit of a run, has joined in. Lacking liquidity which is not unusual so may just watch it for a while. What does stockdog think - he'll be analysing it like a new bone; a particularly juicy one!

Eric

stockdog - 26 Apr 2005 13:15 - 464 of 2787

Looking at MOI, but trying to be grown up about not chasing every shadow only to lose the bone in my teeth (not to mention gum recession, but that's another story of old folk!) At less than 1p it looks very pretty, but will the conversation after the first bout of fun be sustaining?

On CFP, I see it gently continuing along the midly upward channel of the last 4 months (from a floor of .25 through .30 and .35 to .40 and .45p) during which time the SP will stay ahead of its 25ma and 50ma and they will all meander across the 200ma, but I do not see a sharp break up through the 200ma until interims trading update hopefully in July (Although TR may well downplay this by omission and we will have to wait till September for the interims themselves). Unless, of course, fresh transactions and clients build as predicted or better and there are some sharp-eyed fund managers who spot it - but I think it's always going to be too small for institutional investors, while remaining attractive to professionals in and around the City.

Tuck away and look at at the weekend occasionally, but keep the client/transaction news floing in please.
