PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF FINAL RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 1998
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to announce that the pre-tax profit of the group
on ordinary activities for the year ended 30 June 1998 was
#899,372 (#355,428 - 1997). After taxation the profit
attributable to members of the company is #782,179 against
#240,220 for the previous year. These are after costs
relating to certain UK property interests totalling #127,333
this year compared with #124,540 last year. The turnover was
up from #4,765,521 to #5,630,808. A special interim dividend
of 15p per share was paid on 21 April 1998. The directors
recommend the payment of a final dividend of 1.0p per share,
which subject to shareholders' approval, will be paid on 22
December 1998 to those shareholders on the Register of Members
on 27 November 1998.
The major increase in the profitability was achieved at
Grayshott Hall, where the increase in occupancy of around 17%
gave rise to substantially higher profits.
Morlands' turnover was marginally down resulting in an
increase in losses, partially due to costs attributable to
increased promotional activity.
Planning negotiations are continuing at the Glastonbury site.
The US property partnerships showed only one completed sale,
which gave rise to a loss.
We have reduced our holding in a listed public company and
achieved satisfactory profits on our original cost.
Stock has increased by #115,345. Debtors and creditors have
decreased by #24,185 and #50,608 respectively. Net cash at
bank and in hand has decreased by #1,556,145.
Since the end of the financial year the trading position of
the company has deteriorated compared to last year. Costs
continue to be monitored carefully.
Finally, I would like to thank my co-directors and all the
staff for their support and involvement in the improvement of
the company's results.
