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. |

My calculations are probably not quite as sophisticated as your 'model'. However, my calculations using AIM Admission/Placing, NOMAD and Broker fees add up to 1,200,000 (incl of Inca & Sportswinbet). This figure does not include any other additional fees for advisory work that may have been completed, but does include the NOMAD / Broker fees for all clients throughout the year. So, even making an allowance for incresed expenses on last year due to increased activity, I would suggest that any work CFA complete following Sportswinbet, will pretty much go to the bottom line.
Personally, I am quite excited that during the year 2004, CFA completed just seven AIM admissions and placings, but so far during 2005 the number will have increased to 11 (again, inclusive of Inca and Sportswinbet).
My own figures do not include any income that may be derived from Warrants or Share options, of which there are now quite a few.
IMHO, CFA is now seriously undervalued and judging by the trades going through in the last week or so, perhaps an order is being filled which may be holding the SP back. There seemed to be a small tree shake today to encourage a few sellers, it actually had the reverse effect, enticing at least one buyer if not two, resulting in the bid reverting to its previous price. Had I not been umming and aaring about selling another stock, I would have taken advantage of 0.39p myself. I will be keeping a close eye on proceedings next week to see if aanother opportunity presents itself!!
DYOR etc.

If projected turnover was 12m - I for one would be buying millions more shares at this price lol!
Having said that, I know that sd has been erring on the side of caution which is great because any surprises that we get are sure to be pleasant ones.
The core business is coming in at a consistent and healthy rate which will give us sizeable profits at year end and a share price well in excess of 1p, after that we've got acquisitions to look forward to.
The new guys in charge really seem to know their stuff, if they're as good at snapping up businesses on the cheap as they are at gaining core business then we're all going to be in for a very prosperous future.

it really is difficult to shoot an extra couple of days away just at the moment.
good luck to all of you who are playing though.
I mentioned before, but maybe CFP could put up a prize ???

Yes they are undervalued, but I doubt any MMs or brokers are doing the figures like we are on this stock with such a small free float/market cap.

sd - you are needed on the MDW thread; they think they have another SEO which is possible but it needs a bit of objectivity to determine an appropriate cap. Special request from moneyplus to bring my dog with me! They know he's the one who can sniff out a bargain.

Further to the announcement made on 3 May 2005, the Board of Dunn Line plc is
pleased to announce that on 9 May 2005 the Company completed the acquisition of

The Lincoln business is a predominantly contract and service operation with a

total of 33 staff are employed by the business.
The customer base of the business comprises local authorities, schools, and

and acquiring businesses with a high proportion of contracted revenues operating
in areas adjacent to the Company's core operations.
The new hub will form the basis of what is hoped to be a profitable Lincolnshire
operation over time.

LONDON (AFX) - Creightons PLC said it plans to move most of its operations at Storrington in West Sussex to its main manufacturing base in Peterborough.
It said it will begin consultation with its Storrington employees about the proposal.
The news accompanied an announcement that Creightons has agreed to sell its freehold interest in a property at Water Lane Industrial Park in Storrington for 960,000 stg to CDA Southern Ltd.
The property currently houses part of Creightons' warehousing operation.
Creightons will vacate half of the property and rent the other half in a leaseback deal.
It will use the proceeds of the deal to cut debt and fund working capital for future contracts.
The net book value of the property being sold was 637,000 stg on April 1. The sale will generate a profit of around 250,000 stg.
Although the CFA website states Creightons as an 'other retained client' they are actualled the company's nominated advisor.

I suspect though that there are other investors who will be hanging on to Tony Rawlinson's every word at the AGM listening for gems of bullishness before buying in.
If you guys are planning on topping up, best to do so before Wednesday IMHO.

As you can see from the RNS the Dunn acquisition was for just less than O.5mil. Not really sure at all what fee CFP would take for advising on such a deal, as they already receive revenues for being the NOMAD. However, I would imagine they must take something and I don't think 10-20k would be far off the mark.
Of real interest today though is that our 'buyer' at 0.40p is still acive and has purchased at least another 1,500,00 today. I assume it is a buyer because I don't believe anyone could offload this amount of stock for anything above the Bid. Have to admit to starting the ball rolling this morning with a 500k top up. Trying to catch Eric up. Hopefully when the Buyer's order is filled and after the AGM, we will see some movement in the SP.
