Ekay - BUY Price: 13p Target price: 18p

Initiate with bullish stance
· Ekay is a full-service advertising and marketing agency with a diverse client base and solid foundations from which to drive organic and acquisitive growth. We initiate with a Buy recommendation and 18p price target (38% upside).

· Ekay has a 13-year trading record and has established a broad range of clients into which it provides a diverse range of services across the advertising and marketing communications spectrum.

· The group is headquartered in Kent, but has also established a market-leading position in the Channel Islands following the acquisitions of Wallace Barnaby (November 2006) and CMA (June 2007).

· Ekay reported breakeven PBT in FY07A (pre-exceptionals) following a period of acquisition integration and challenging trading in its core Ekay. Group clean EPS was 0.00p.

· The reported loss before tax of £2.5m was principally due to the write-down of bad debts associated with a key historic client that went into receivership.

· We are forecasting a return to profitability in FY08E (£0.7m PBT, 1.57p EPS), based on a strong pipeline of visible revenue and potential client wins, as well as a leaner cost base and full-year contribution from Wallace Barnaby.

· Ekay is a cash generative business and is underpinned by net cash at FY07A of £1.7m. We forecast that this will rise in FY08E to £2.3m (£3.5m FY09E), based on FCF generation of £0.8m and a net cash inflow during the year of £0.6m.

· The net cash position underpins our bullish stance and provides investment and/or acquisition funding for the group. With the shares standing at 8.4x FY08E EPS (5.6x FY09E), we initiate with a Buy recommendation and 18p price target (12x FY08E earnings).

Ouch !!

A potential £1.65m bad debt from APS Mortgages, an insolvent customer.
Their announcement does not make it clear whether this is covered by credit insurance to any extent. If it isn't then this will really be a big hit to a company that has just made a pretax profit of just under £1m and had cash of circa £900K in the bank at the end of December.

Originally looked at these after their IPO but did not buy in.
Historic PE around 18 in relation to 2006.
Price has drifted down by nearly 25% over the past 7 weeks although it has not been affected by last weeks market slide (so far !)

PP: Any broker forecasts for 2007 yet ?

Ekay plc

AGM Statement

At today's AGM of Ekay plc ("Ekay"), the AIM-listed advertising and marketing
agency which specialises in advising clients on the use of television, national
and local press, magazines, the internet, direct mail and posters, for business
development purposes, the Chairman made the following statement:

"The results for the last year were extremely pleasing and I am happy to
confirm that this good progress has continued into the new financial year. Our
first half sales for the current year have been encouraging.

"The acquisition last November of Wallace Barnaby, a leading marketing company
in the Channel Islands, added a new dimension to the Group. Ekay has worked
closely with Wallace Barnaby over many years and the logic behind our union had
become clear months ago.

"The investment in infrastructure and the acquisition has strengthened our
marketing position and although at an early stage in the year, this is being
reflected in a strong pipeline of new business leads.

"Our sound footing bodes well for the future. The company's earnings base is
widely diversified over many different clients and a broad range of project
types and I look forward confidently to the year ahead".
