Jamie,

I've looked at Envoy's financial statements and here are my observations FWIW. Note, I haven't done a rigorous analysis or research, the points below are just my observations based on a cursory review of the financial statements and other information available on their web site.

1. Structured with many small separate companies (see the summary of significant accounting policies). Being in the advertising/media business, it is easy for staff to walk out and form their own creative companies. I don't know why it is structured with so many separate corporations.... doesn't create a comfortable feeling in me.

2. The company is now probably at what I call the "next plateau" where growth could be slower. Example, revenue growth in 1st quarter is 14% compared to 43% growth in fiscal 97 over 96. Lets see how 2nd quarter comes in.

3. Stock price of $4.60 is on rich side, probably because of recent publicity from analysts. Looks like it may earn 12 cents (fully diluted) this fiscal year: pe=38 compared to growth of 15%.

Of course, above points are all debatable, however, my main concern is point 1. I'm also doubtful if this is a 2 bagger stock in 2 years time at today's price. May be more attractive when stock price corrects.
