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.

Website: www.cityfin.co.uk

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.

Acquisition of 4.15% equity stake in Intandem Films



Addworth Plc, the recently AIM floated active capital investor, has today
announced that it has recently acquired 2,500,000 shares at 4p each in Intandem
Films Ltd, the feature film group that specialises in executive production and
international sales and marketing. The company is expected to seek admission to
AIM within the next month. The purchase represents 4.15% of the current Intandem
equity. Subsequent to its successful AIM float, in which it will seek to place
20,000,000 new shares @ 5p per share, that stake in Intandem Films will reduce
to 3.1%.



Mark Watson-Mitchell, Executive Chairman of Addworth stated:



'Having followed closely the development of the company from its inception,
nearly eighteen months ago, we are extremely pleased to have taken the
opportunity to make this investment ahead of Intandem's admission to AIM.
Furthermore we anticipate the company increasing its production portfolio within
the next few months, thereby helping to generate some good profits over the next
few years.'

Notes to Editors



Addworth (ADW), which gained admission to AIM on 3rd February 2005, was formed
primarily to act as an 'active capital investor'. The focus will be upon the
growth of capital value and the generation of fee income from: establishing and
funding newly quoted sector focused companies; acquiring and developing
companies with growth potential; and taking minority equity positions in
undervalued smaller listed companies.

When are results due

thesaurus - results will have little impact on the share price.

The currently depressed price is down to the knowledge that the 2004 results are going to be poor - because so many deals fell through before year end Dec 31st 2004.

Also, priced in at the moment is that the loss will be made greater because of Stephen Barclay's pay-off.

What is much more interesting is what is happening to the re-born CFP now and Butane is doing a great job keeping us informed of developments.

We need to see some decent new placements or floatations coming through from the new management team before the price will start to move in the right direction.

Deals can come through all at once - it's the nature of the game. Keep a close eye on the RNS's.

Each sizeable new flotation or placement should add about 0.1p to the share price. A good bunch of work coming to fruition and we'll see some really healthy upside.

Anyone know why Griffin bought then sold in such a short space of time ? and who now lays claim to those dizzy 60m shares ? Or is there a massive overhang ?

Trix - I believe that Griffin bought in expecting to use CFP as a vehicle to launch new companies which they were promoting into AIM. They then found that the cash was needed elsewhere and sold out quickly at a small loss of 6,000.

Stephen Barclay and John Shaw both sold out at the same time because they were starting a new company together and being close to retirement age didn't want to wait for the CFP share price to pick up again.

GHW weren't a major holder before the RNS in January so we can assume that the bulk of their holding was bought at that time (trading suggested this also).

Major reported buys/sells as as follows:

21/12: Stephen Barclay (ex Chairman) sells 64,600,000
21/12: John Shaw (ex director) sells 29,400,000
21/12: Griffin buys 60,000,000

08/01: Griffin sells 60,000,000

20/01: GHW increase holding to 41,227,500

24/01: Tony Rawlinson (new Chairman) buys 4,000,000 (making his total holding 18.5 million)

Plenty of smaller investors topped up at the lower price and that's where I believe the "missing" shares went. It's easy to buy several million shares at these prices.

OG,

Many thanks for the above info, much appreciated.

10.25 am - 1.1 million buys against 150K sells with drop in price of 4.55 %
Can anybody help in explaining why such a decrease has occurred.

Someone just sold 13 worth!!!!

It's OK.... we're back to normal now !!!

Great news - I have a feeling that there's going to be plenty of work throughout the year under the new management - makes the current price look like a bargain.

A few more deals and the price will be up at around 0.6p. Better performance than last year as the year progresses and we should see the price nudging towards 1p again (and that will be 3x a stake made now! - worth a punt I would say).

This one is going up tomorrow folks.

Even though Griffin no longer have a stake in CFP it looks as though they're pushing plenty of NOMAD work in CFP's direction.

Two more announced today !

Poland Investment Fund
Process Handling

I won't include the RNSs as it just clogs up the thread.

blimey - even the advfn board has some serious comments for a change, this is from sdtoot:

"Certainly a very positive day on the news front. For the first 3 months of 2005, I make it that we have 6 new clients on board:- Creightons plc, Mediazest plc, Hampton Trust plc, Elite Strategies, Poland Investment Fund plc and Process Handling plc.

Last year, H1 saw 6 new clients and H2 saw 5 new clients, so it has been a very good start to 2005. Lets hope the new management team can keep it going!"

Not forgetting Intandem are to float soon.....CFP to be both Nomad AND Broker.

Anyone looking to top up you'll need to get in quick to take advantage of the current prices - some big buys are going to go through later in the day.

Got in at 0.38. Let's hope the newsflow continues!!

A 2% spread!!!! My god the mm's must be desperate. Never been known in the 12 months I've been in this. Steady as she goes afraid of a spike AGAIN.

Who spoke too soon!

OOOooops Sorry!?
