As I've mentioned before, the reason I didn't invest when technically it looked good was based on fundamental analysis - principally cash flow concerns - and management history.

It seems to me that companies who are so totally short-term-sales-dependent, and whose sales are in turn dependent on products which need a continuous, ongoing investment in them - paid for as it is incurred but 'capitalised' in the accounts - is always going to have to run hard to stand still. It only takes a relatively small shortfall in budgeted sales to have a major effect on the profit, and, more important, cash position and that can easily turn into a downhill spiral.

Unlike you, I haven't looked at them in detail for a while, but it wouldn't surprise me if the current credit crunch problems have resulted in at least a short term cut back in promotional activity in the financial services sector which would have a major impact on a lot of marketing services companies, not just this one. It's one of several sectors I'm avoiding at the moment.

Not sure even Greg would want them at the moment. I'm out now by the way, the reports I've received tell me they're struggling. End of a chapter I think and my opinion is now with Markie7

In these situations I ask myself

1. Who are the likely buyers

2. How are they going to pay for it

3. Would that be a good thing for me as a shareholder.

In this instance, I have a slightly uneasy feeling. Expect an all paper offer from the Board of































IMSG !!!!

Anyone there at all? Would appreciate feedback of this buyer, anyone have any indication of what is going on?

Have recently spoken to people in the marketplace who tell me IPT is selling out on quality in an effort to boost revenues and attractiveness to the potential buyer. Perfectly natural but I am concerned over the time it is taking to fulfil this deal for a small premium on this price.

If a buyer doesn't come the share price will tank. Giving it a week before I sell up, downside is increasingly outweighing the potential upside, might be premature but increasingly feeling like this is a bad odds gamble and not instilled with confidence by the bad news I'm hearing form the sector. Can anyone substantiate the rumours or have a helpful opinion?

Interactive Prospect Targeting (LSE: IPH) , an e-mail marketing business. It operates several websites such as MyOffers, where consumers fill in a questionnaire on their likes and dislikes in return for the chance to win prizes.

The company trades on a price/earnings ratio of 20, which looks steep until you realise that earnings are expected to rise 88%.

Up 20% already, my target £2.20, can't see these going for less than that.

With the marketing prospects of the group and with good management, this company is worth at least 200p per share. The directors should not recomend at anything less.

Should explain the shift in sentiment.

Interactive Prospect sees H1 EBITDA of 1.9 mln stg on revenues of 15 mln stg
AFX


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Interactive Prospect Targeting Holdings PLC said it expects first-half EBITDA of about 1.9 mln stg on revenues of about 15 mln.

It also said trading levels have improved since March culminating in a strong performance in June, adding that Directinet has performed well, and that the acquisition of NP6 will further strengthen the company's position in France.

In a trading update, the online marketing group said it has recovered from the technology-related issue which affected sales execution and negatively impacted the first half, as announced on March 27.

'As a result of the changes made since February, IPT now believes it is better equipped than ever before to achieve its objectives in an ever changing operational environment. Demand has remained strong for IPT's products and I remain confident of the outcome for the year,' chief executive Lionel Thain said.

Interactive Prospect will announce its interim results on Sept 27.

David Milliband is alleged to have caused uproar in the direct marketing world by suggesting that one of his first initiatives in his new post will be to make postal direct marketing opt in only. As a result this would heavily damage an already over pressed direct marketing industry.

If this does come in- IPH are positioned extremely well to benefit since their postal files are all captured online on an opt in basis. This should enhance revenues since they will be one of very few files legally available.

One of IPH major competitors up for sale.


Data group DLG is reported to be up for sale for an estimated £100m, just over a year after securing a £25m management buyout, led by chief executive Jeremy Whitaker.

Under the deal, secured in conjunction with private equity firm Promethean Investments, the group changed its name from Data Locator to DLG and wrestled control from founder Simon Johnson.

Since then it has made two acquisitions: the UK operations of Wegener Direct Marketing, which doubled the company's database of UK consumers to 21 million; and online marketing company 43 earlier this month.

The company's management owns 29 per cent stake. It has not been reported whether they will sell some of their shares as part of any sale of the business.

DLG shareholders had originally implied they were looking to float the company this year once the integration of its acquisitions had been completed.

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Interactive Prospect Targeting Holdings PLC said it has agreed to buy French email broadcaster NP6 SAS for a maximum payment of 9.95 mln eur, part of which will be funded from a new 6.5 mln eur loan facility.

IPT added it will pay an initial 5 mln eur funded by the loan, while a maximum 4.95 mln eur will be paid in cash and shares as deferred payments depending upon the vendor achieving certain financial targets for the years ended Dec 31 2007 and 2008.

IPT, an online direct marketing company, said the acquisition is expected to be earnings neutral in 2007 and earnings enhancing in the first full year of ownership.

NP6's EBITDA grew to 1.04 mln eur in 2006 from 0.26 mln in 2004 while revenues rose to 3.2 mln eur from 1.17 mln.
