Aiminmg for top three (ATG)

Thursday 24th January 2008

Specialist multimedia and marketing agency Adventis (ATG) said trading during the second half has exceeded its expectations and that it expects results for the year to 31 December to beat market forecasts. "Trading for the second half of the year has exceeded the board's expectations which, when added to a strong first half, makes 2007 the fifth successive year of increased profits for the company," it said. Moreover, it said the current year started well, with further strong growth expected this year. It also said it has net cash of more than 4 million pounds and no debt, leaving it in a strong position to exploit current market conditions and pick up a few well-chosen acquisitions on the cheap in 2008. Its shares moved 5.5p higher to 39.5p.
