G.R (Holdings) plc
The pre-tax profit of the group for the period was #169,180 (#39,136 2004 -
loss). The operating loss of continuing operations was #190,602 (#9,599 2004 -
loss).
During the period, the group was engaged in (a) the manufacture and sale of
Morlands footwear, sheepskin car rugs, and other products, (b) transactions
involving property and (c) investments.
At 31 December 2005, we were still involved as a limited partner in nine
partnerships in land in the USA. In the six months to 31 December 2005, three
partnerships disposed of the entirety of their holding, of which partial sales
had been made in previous years in one of the partnerships. The disposals
resulted in losses in two and a profit in one partnership, with a net profit of
#63,441 (#21,375 loss -2004). There were a further two partial disposals during
the period.
In line with the Chairman's statement released on 27 September 2005, the trading
position of Morlands has continued to improve.
The board has decided not to declare an interim dividend (2004 - 0.3p) for the
year ending 30 June 2006.
The Board's current intention is to declare a substantial special dividend
before the end of March 2006. Following the decision as to the quantum of any
special dividend and confirmation as to whether it is to be declared, the Board
currently intends to apply to the London Stock Exchange to de-list the Ordinary
Shares in the Company. This will be subject to the approval of shareholders in
general meeting. A. Stanford and Company Limited, a 75.05% shareholder in the
Company, has indicated to the Board that it will support the necessary
resolutions.
The board is advised that as at 30 June 2006 the company was a close company
within the meaning of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.
