WORTHINGTON GROUP PLC
Interim Financial Statements
for the half year ended
30 September 2011
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The company recorded a loss of GBP187,000 (2010: GBP162,000) for
the period after all head office and pension scheme costs. This
includes non-cash charges in the period of GBP55,000 (2010:
GBP121,000) in relation to pension scheme finance costs and
GBP61,000 in relation to share based payments.
We are pleased to report that Trimmings by Design, our
associated company, continued to trade profitably in the period and
we recognised a profit of GBP19,000 (2010: loss GBP39,000) in the
period. In addition we also received a dividend distribution of
GBP44,000 (2010: GBPnil) in the period.
All of our tenants have now vacated the Keighley site and the
buildings have been completely demolished in readiness for
development and to remove any requirement for us to pay rates.
On 1(st) November we advised you that additional information had
been requested by the local authority planners to enable them to
proceed with our application. We, together with our architects and
consultants, have met with the planners to discuss their further
requirements and that information is being prepared so that our
application can progress. We are in discussions with potential
developers and JV partners with regard to the development and have
received some useful input as to other potential opportunities for
the site which may modify the content of our planning application
going forward. We will notify the market if we revise our
application and will accordingly advise you of any significant
changes. Whilst receipt of planning permission is clearly taking
longer than we had hoped we remain confident that the site will
gain permission for a very significant development which is in the
interests of the local area and a significant opportunity for
Worthington.
We continue to monitor the pension scheme investments and
liabilities, which represent the key risk to the company at
present. Details of our principal risk factors can be found in the
director's report on page 4 of the 2011 Annual Report and Accounts.
There have been no significant changes to the principal risks in
the half year to 30 September 2011.
We are in discussions with and have identified a number of
potential acquisition opportunities but we must accept that our
bargaining position as to the company's potential value does to
some extent depend on the result of our planning application. Again
when we have anything significant to report we will advise
shareholders accordingly.
We remain positive as to the outcome of our planning application
and that the other opportunities we are considering will secure the
future of Worthington
