Blackrock's assets reduced by €90m last year







Blackrock International Land has said its group net assets declined by €89.8m during the year as property values fell and as investors and occupational demand also weakened.

It reported pre-tax losses of €105.4m for the year compared to losses of €78.8m in 2008, while operating losses fell to €70m from a figure of €55.9 the previous year.

The company said its net assets at the end of December 2009 stood at €0.1032 compared to €0.2571 at the end of 2008 and described the year as disappointing.

Blick bid should be encouraged

This year is the first in four in which Blick shares have made any meaningful progress, and even then from a low base, so news of a possible bid should delight investors if it can be sealed.
In response to speculation and the recent rise in the share price Blick (BLK) said today it has received an unsolicited approach, which may lead to an offer in the region of 300p per share in cash.
The security, communications and time management company also announced full year results to September including a slightly improved profit of £8 million against £7.8 million from turnover of £69.2 million.
Net debt has been reduced to £13.5 million from £15.7 million and the final dividend maintained at 9.5p resulting in a static full year payout of 14.5p as expected.
The Blick team has worked a no frills job over the last few years but there is no getting away from the poor performance of the shares, which depending on the investment timing, have provided a favourable income yield but little in the way of consistent capital growth.
In this respect the board should seize the opportunity to sell the business and lock in some of the value created this year.
Annual growth in new rental orders were up 18% to £12.7 million and the contracted rental book is stable at £93 million. New developments include a Blick Finance division and greater emphasis on integrated services.
However, there is a sense that the company has never really been understood by the average investor. It is often described as 'a quirky little company'.
The activities are often technology driven but are quite simple. In the office environment the group can set up access control, parking management, CCTV, working time management systems, wireless staff communication and safety procedures, such as evacuation, and various related and integrated solutions.
Contracts can run over several months or years but the competition is tough and thus pricing is in continuous check.
Blick confirmed today that trading conditions in some of its markets remain challenging, but further it expects moderate progress this year.
Forecasts for 2004 include a pretax profit of £8.5 million and the same dividend of 14.5p. Growth is running in high single digits if and when achieved.
There will be disappointment if the indicated offer is refused or withdrawn. The pressure is on for a deal.

ursus, just look at the threads created by KDC then look at how many of them ainsoph also posts on (incidentally, I suspect you'll find several other names cropping up time and again on those threads) Should also help you to get that 'astute investor' and good track record nonsense out of your head!

i agree with you on two way exchange and would happily contribute info. i've only had my attention drawn to this share by you, and will look into it because you seem to have a good track record as an astute investor. my chief concern at the moment is the insurance sector.

but your point on two way exchange scarcely explains your reluctance to answer a simple question with a simple yes or no - did you formerly post as KDC? if you don't answer, only one conclusion seems possible...

so why not say??
