Wallace Barnaby & Associates Limited placed into Liquidation

24 October 2008

Ekay plc (AIM: EKY, "Company" or "Group"), a leading regional advertising and marketing agency, announces that Wallace Barnaby & Associates Limited ("Wallace Barnaby"), a wholly owned subsidiary, has today been placed into members voluntary liquidation, as defined by the Companies (Guernsey) 2008 Law, by reason of its insolvency and inability to met its debts as they fall due. Wallace Barnaby was an advertising and marketing agency with offices in Guernsey and Jersey.

The Preliminary Announcement of Annual Results for the year ended 30 June 2008, dated 30 September 2008, noted that it had been necessary to fully impair the investment in Wallace Barnaby. Accordingly the administration process is expected to have a positive impact on the Group's balance sheet as the negative net assets will no longer form part of the consolidated financial balance sheet.

Wallace Barnaby was not expected to reach profitability in the forthcoming financial year and so the process of liquidation is expected to have a positive impact on the profitability and cashflow of the Group in the forthcoming financial year.
