BAE's 'Green killing fields'
UK arms manufacturer BAE Systems is bringing us ‘Green killing’ with a new generation of what it laughingly calls ‘environmentally-friendly weapons’. Apparently, it wants to reduce the dangerous compounds emitted by its jets, fighting vehicles and weapons, like depleted uranium (DU) dust, which it warns “can harm the environment and pose a risk to people”.

BAE’s initiative was welcomed by the UK Ministry of Defence, which has itself proposed ‘environmental impact assessments’ for all new weapons: quieter warheads to reduce noise pollution, grenades which produce less smoke, etc. There have even been experiments to see if explosives and landmines can be turned into manure.

BAE’s growing range of so-called ‘Green weapons’ now includes:

bullets with lower lead content because “lead used in ammunition can harm the environment and pose a risk to people”
armoured vehicles hybrid diesel/electric engines to reduce carbon emissions
weaponry which releases fewer toxins like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous and often carcinogenic chemicals
more stable artillery, which does not blow up accidentally and has a longer shelf life, reducing waste

Ed.- (i) As BAE reminds us, “no company, regardless of what they make, can now just make a product, bung it out there, and then forget about it,” and “we all have a duty of care to ensure that from cradle to grave products are being used appropriately and do not do lasting harm.”

(ii) Tungsten.
BAE has abandoned DU and returned to weapons-grade tungsten alloys to harden the tips of its weapons in 2003, allegedly due to environmental concerns. Environmental concerns aside, tungsten-tipped missiles are equally effective at piercing armour, but cost less. There is no question that weapons tipped with a weapons-grade tungsten alloy are preferable to weapons tipped with DU. The tungsten alloy used is not radioactive and does not vaporise on impact, spreading long-lasting carcinogenic radioactive particles over a wide area.

However, Tungsten is the third heaviest element and can be combined with copper, nickel, iron, and cobalt to form heavy metals. The body requires trace levels of some heavy metals (e.g. cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, strontium and zinc) to maintain good health, but even low exposures to other heavy metals (e.g. mercury, lead and cadmium) can lead to cancer and neurological damage.

Although virtually no safety research has ever been done, the toxicity of tungsten and tungsten alloys for human health has been seen traditionally as low. This may soon change. Researchers at the US Army Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland (US) embedded tungsten alloy pellets into rats to see what might happen to a human wounded by tungsten alloy shrapnel. They were surprised to find that every rat showed signs of cancer development after only one month and tumours within four to five months. The same may apply to humans. [1] So it is all a question of degree. Tungsten alloy shrapnel is as indiscriminate as DU dust, but does not spread as far.

(iii) Another study from the US Centers for Disease Control found childhood leukaemia clusters in the area around the once tungsten-mining towns of Fallon, Nevada and Sierra Vista, Arizona (US). [2]

Department store minnow is an option for deep-value hunters to consider

The multi-billion pound merger between defence giant BAE Systems (LON:BA.) and Franco-German aerospace firm EADS is "the wrong deal at the wrong time", according to Societe Generale.
The French broker says the deal looks good for BAE given its 40% holding in the combined group and possibility of sharing the strong growth prospect of EADS' Airbus.

BAE Systems plc (BAE Systems) and EADS N.V. (EADS) have today made a statement to the London Stock Exchange about a possible business combination between BAE Systems and EADS.




Statement re Share Price Movement

BAE Systems and EADS have a long history of collaboration, and are currently partners in a number of important projects, including the Eurofighter and MBDA joint ventures. The two companies confirm that they are now in discussions about a possible combination of the businesses. The potential combination would create a world leading international aerospace, defence and security group with substantial centres of manufacturing and technology excellence in the UK, USA, France, Germany and Spain as well as in Australia, India and Saudi Arabia.

BAE Systems and EADS believe that the potential combination of the two businesses offers significant benefits for all stakeholders, over and above their individual business strategies, which both businesses continue to execute strongly. In particular, they believe that the combination of the two complementary businesses offers the opportunity of greater innovation, long term financial stability, and an extended market presence, which will enable them to compete even more effectively on the world stage.

Any agreement on the terms of a potential combination will require approval by the Boards of both BAE Systems and EADS, and would be subject to, amongst other things, a number of governmental, regulatory and shareholder approvals. There is no certainty at this stage that the discussions will ultimately lead to a transaction.

BAE Systems is a strong, well‐run company, successfully implementing our strategy. During the process of the discussions with EADS, BAE Systems will continue to focus in meeting all of their current commitments.

Beale Trading Statement




RNS Number:5423L
Beale PLC
10 January 2008




10 January 2008

BEALE PLC - TRADING STATEMENT


The Directors of Beale plc announce that, although our results for the 53 weeks
to 3 November 2007 will be marginally ahead of brokers' forecasts, results for
the financial year ending 1 November 2008 are likely to fall short of market
expectations.


Whilst November sales were at similar levels to those of the previous year, the
economic environment deteriorated significantly in the final weeks of the
calander year, with footfall reduced markedly during December; although since
Christmas sales have improved slightly compared with last year.


Whilst our stocks have been well controlled, our margins have been put under
considerable pressure by the requirements to clear residual Autumn/Winter 2007
apparel and to meet the considerable promotional discounting in the high street.


Like for like sales, including concessions and VAT, for the past 9 weeks to 5
January were down 6%.


Whilst it is still very early in our trading year, it now seems unlikely that,
in light of the current economic environment, our sales and results targets will
be achieved. It is also unlikely that a dividend will be paid for the current
trading year.


Our results for the 2006/7 trading year will be released on 28th January 2008.

Well Seymour Pierce were right. No interim dividend and another set of bad results.

Defence contractor BAE Systems was among the best blue-chip performers, climbing 13p to 373p after the Government signed a £20bn deal to sell the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to Saudi Arabia. The deal, which allows Saudi to replace its ageing fleet of Tornado aircraft, extends over the next 25 years.

Broker Evolution says BAE will have to wait until 2008 before seeing any benefit from the contract, which will not be finalised until the end of this year.

Evolution's Harry Philips says: 'It's good news but is still way off contract and underpins 2008 numbers rather than generates big upgrades. It also provides visibility, which is important. BAE's order book is currently £60bn.î

Philips has repeated his add rating on the shares to reflect improving momentum.

Also benefiting from the contract will be aero-engines maker Rolls-Royce, up 3½p at 428p, which is part of the Eurofighter consortium.

Broker Merrill Lynch has repeated its buy recommendation and 530p target price on Rolls following a meeting with management. It says: 'We see Rolls-Royce as a solid long-term growth story.'

It regards the stock as non-cyclical, with all the company's profits coming from aftermarket and defence.

The bid talks are called off and the price falls a massive 3.4%. LOL!!

Apparently the potential bidder(s) didn't like the (historical) pension liabilities. What a surprise!!

Pension liabilities not withstanding, I thought the results looked fairly okayish, given all the doom and gloom in the retail sector generally.

* They are still making a profit, despite the doom and gloom
* The debt is reduced
* The divi is maintained (although currently not fully covered)

I'm hangin' on in there
