OTC Journal Members:
We are continuing our efforts
to seek out more Trading Alerts as successful as last week's NTRO.
We had a great result for your on that one, but with the market looking
so weak we are waiting for a retest of the previous lows.
In the interim today's edition features
our year end wrap up on Envoy Communications (NASDAQ: ECGI; TSE: ECG).
 |
Important Announcement |
|
This weekend's edition will feature
our first MVP Program in several months. During the summer we brought you
a free, no strings attached trial subscription to the Wall Street
Journal. The program was so successful we asked Santa to bring
it back.
Don't forget to read the weekend
edition and sign up for a free subscription to the Wall Street Journal.
You can also sign up friends and relatives. This would make an excellent
Christmas Present.

Envoy
Communications (NASDAQ: ECGI; TSE: ECG) |
 |
Envoy released its fiscal
year end financial results this past Monday, and after the market closed
hosted a conference call to address investor concerns over the state of
the Leagas-Delaney merger and the price of the stock.
Here is the company's year end financial
results:
| |
Fiscal 2000
|
Fiscal 1999
|
|
Net Revenue
|
$58.6 million
|
$41.7 million
|
|
Income Before Depreciation
and Amortization
|
$4.5 million
|
$3.5 million
|
|
Net Income
|
$2.9 million
|
$2.8 million
|
|
EPS
|
$.24
|
$.24
|
Investors should note that despite
a 40% increase in top line revenues earnings did not grow. This is because
Canadian accounting methods differ from the US. Envoy is forced
to take significant non-cash write downs related to acquistions. If this
company were domiciled in the US, acquisitions could be treated as a "Pooling
of Interest", and these non-cash expenses would not hurt their profits.
The $4.5 million in Income
before Depreciation and Amortization is the real measure of their
growth, which coincides with the revenue growth.
If you are a shareholder of this
company we strongly recommend you listen to the replay of Monday's conference
call. Management explains events at the company in great detail, and this
call will help you make an informed decision as to whether to buy, hold,
or sell this stock.
The replay of the conference call
can be heard following these directions:
-
Dial 416-626-4100
-
Conference Reversation number: 17181875
followed by the # sign.
In our view there was one slightly negative
fact we learned in listening to the conference call. When Envoy
completes the Leagas-Delaney acquisition Envoy will become
a world class company. The date to complete the acquisition has been extended
until the end of March. We were under the impression a financing for the
company would be handled by a major US brokerage firm. Envoy announced
this would not be the case. The funding will be handled by a Canadian brokerage
firm.
We view this as a major negative
for the immediate future of the stock price. We still believe the stock
is worth double its current levels. However, the company desparately needs
Wall Street exposure, and this will not be accomplished with a Canadian
brokerage firm leading the financing for the Leagas-Delaney merger.
This weekend's edition will have
our MVP Program for December, which will be the opportunity to receive
the Wall Street Journal for free, no strings attached. You can register
friends and family as a Christmas Present.
Look for more Trading Alerts
next week if this market continues to sell off. We will try to find some
good short term trading ideas if the market nears the 2600 level.
