==============================

Extract 2 (Taken from Link 2)

"Fixed charge receiverships

W h at a r e t h e y ?

A fixed charge receiver may be appointed by a lender with a mortgage, charge or other security over real property or other specified assets. The appointment is quick and fairly inexpensive.

The receiver will generally have broad powers to realise assets and, in respect of real property, collect rent. Unlike many other insolvency appointments, a fixed charge receiver need not be a licensed insolvency practitioner and specialist surveyors are commonly appointed. Many will be members of and comply with the voluntary code of NARA (the Association of Property and Fixed
Charge Receivers)."

Hampson Industries PLC Receivership sale


Receivership sale of the entire issued share capital of BHW (Components) Limited held by Hampson Aerospace Services Limited

Hampson Industries PLC (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") announces that fixed charge receivers have been appointed over the shares held by Hampson Aerospace Services Limited in BHW (Components) Limited ("BHW"). Pursuant to an agreement dated 16 November 2012, the receivers have effected the sale of the entire issued share capital of BHW to LNB UK Limited for a consideration of GBP2,365,000 in cash, GBP2,215,000 of which has been paid, and GBP150,000 of which is to be paid within 30 days of completion. The consideration is payable by the purchaser to the receivers, on behalf of Hampson Aerospace Services Limited and will be applied (after the deduction of the costs of sale) in repaying part of the outstanding debt owed by the Group to the lenders under the Group's finance facilities.

BHW provides integrated airframe solutions for aircraft component manufacture and assembly to OEM and tier-one suppliers to the aerospace industry (including the manufacture and supply of engine nacelles, fuselage structures, empennage, aircraft skins and other aerospace components). As at 31 March 2011, the value of the gross assets of BHW were GBP15.16 million and BHW recorded a net loss for the period to 31 March 2011 of GBP3.91 million.

With the support of the Group's lenders, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company continue to actively pursue the objective of achieving a sale of the Group's US operations (and of the Group's interests in India).

The conclusion of the sale of the Group's US and Indian operations (and the realisation of any remaining assets) are not expected to result in there being any value remaining for the Company's shareholders.

Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

Bit of a delayed reaction. AEA were a similar company to Hampson - invested in the US, high debts (to our friendly state owned bank, Lloyds), high pension obligations, share price crash. Yesterday they went into administration. Shares suspended then de-listed i.e. worthless. I hope this fate does not befall Hampson.

I hope we dont get RNSs like these:

BAE RNS released at 16:35 today regarding a possible combination of BAE and EADS
businesses.

RESPONSE TO SHARE PRICE MOVEMENT

Further to the recent movement in BAE Systems' share price, BAE Systems plc (BAE Systems) and EADS N.V. (EADS) confirm that they are in discussions regarding a possible combination of their businesses. This potential combination would be implemented through the creation of a dual listed company structure, under which both companies would operate as one group by means of equalisation and other agreements but would be separately listed on their existing exchanges.

The discussions between the parties envisage that BAE Systems shareholders would own 40% and EADS shareholders 60% respectively of the enlarged group. It is contemplated that there would be a unified board and management structure with identical boards and executive committees at each of BAE Systems and EADS.

Interesting paragraph at the Extract below.

It would be interesting to determine if there had been any conversation between Hampson and the Reporter prior to the article being published.

Extract:

"Payment for that contract was originally expected within a year of its September 2010 signing, but owing to "issues identified during the testing and customer approval process" will not be fully realised until as late as March 2013."




Hampson crisis 'won't leave 787 short of production tooling'

By: DAN THISDELL LONDON 16 hours ago Source:

London trading of shares in Hampson was suspended earlier this week when the debt-burdened supplier of composite assembly tools to Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin and other airframers declared the end of attempts to sell the company and that it was unable to file its accounts for its year to end-March.

However, though its share price stood at less than a penny - down from an all-time high in excess of 200p ($3.13) in January 2008 - Hampson remains a going concern and insists it is still on track to fulfil a $53 million contract to supply Boeing with lightweight mandrel tools for carbonfibre lay-up for a "major commercial aerospace programme". This is likely to be the -9 variant of the 787.

Payment for that contract was originally expected within a year of its September 2010 signing, but owing to "issues identified during the testing and customer approval process" will not be fully realised until as late as March 2013.

Hampson complained in 2010-11 that profitability was being hit by "a consistent pattern of changes in customer scheduling requirements which resulted in higher subcontract and overtime costs being incurred".

Debt servicing and goodwill impairments have wiped out trading profits. The company lost £31 million before taxes in its year to end-March 2011 and the same again in its half-year to end-September 2011.

Trouble began in 2008 with a $253 million acquisition of Michigan-based tooling makers Odyssey and Global Tooling. The move looked like a savvy bid to satisfy the growing demand for composite airframe tools until the global financial crisis and various aircraft programme delays left Hampson out on a financial limb.

Lenders have been helpful, but banks have not been willing to refinance the debt, which stands at some £55 million net, exacerbated by short-term borrowing to support the delayed Boeing tooling contract.

Hampson put itself up for sale in February but last week said there was no offer being discussed, though there were preliminary talks with a "third party" about the sale of the US operations. Shareholders will be left with nothing, according to Hampson

Hampson Industries PLC
Update and Notice of General Meeting
Hampson Industries PLC ("Hampson" or the "Company", and, together with its subsidiaries, the
"Group"), the international aerospace group, is sending to its shareholders a notice of general
meeting to be held pursuant to section 656 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "General Meeting").
Copies of the notice will be available on the Company's website: www.hampsongroup.com.
The Directors have concluded that the Company's net assets are now less than half of its called-up
share capital and, in such circumstances, the Directors are required under section 656 of the
Companies Act 2006 to convene a general meeting of the Company to consider whether any, and if
so what, steps should be taken to deal with the situation.
The General Meeting will be held at 30 Crown Place, London EC2A 4ES at 11 am on 27 June 2012.
As noted in the announcement made on 14 February 2012 and the Trading Update given on 10 April
2012, the Board is currently reviewing and assessing the strategic options available to the Group and,
as part of its review, is undertaking a formal sale process. Accordingly, the Board does not consider it
necessary for specific resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting.
Shareholders should note however that, although the assessment of strategic options is ongoing, the
Board considers that, in light of:
 the level and terms of indicative offers received to date for the Company pursuant to the
formal sale process;
 the assessment of the Group's trading and operating liabilities (including the Company's
contingent or future liabilities, such as those relating to the fulfilment of the Company's
remaining obligations under the defined benefit pension scheme in the UK); and
 the level (and repayment terms) of the debt obligations owed by the Group to its secured
lenders;
it is becoming clear that there is a material risk that there will be little or no remaining value for
existing shareholders. Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
The Group will publish its results for the year ended 31 March 2012 by the end of July 2012.

Markets as we know are ruthless when news intimates serious problems in a company. But is this the real case with Hampson and has the market over reacted? I think so but no longer believe its going to the "recovery" share I expected it to be.

Obviously their negotiations on banking covenants are not going well so selling the company outright is a way of keeping the company trading without financial default.

If one reads the interim statement closely the Chairman intimates that by announcing the company is "for sale" the takeover code then allows that potential bidders "will not be required to be publicly identified". IMO this will allow more potential acquirers to "clandestinely" evaluate Hampsons operations without the fear of a bidding war which could drive all interested acquirers away.

For shareholders this may mean a lower purchase price but more likely to secure a deal which will hopefully be well above current price, than allow HAMP to go into administration.

However the markets seem to think otherwise and the near 50% drop in share price today indicates they think Hampson may not secure a buyer, default on it banking covenants and possibly go into administration and be sold on the cheap, regardless of the progress the company has made to turn around its operations. Valuing Hampson at mkt cap of £11 million (although it does have debts of £54m) is low. The cost of entering the "composite" market would be a lot more than the effective £65m price tag on Hampson.

Hampson seems to me to have make very good inroads into sorting out the problems with Odyssey which was one of the main reason for the groups fall from grace. Orders are up slightly and turnover improving quickly. They look like they were "turning the corner". Still a very high risk share but IMO worth the gamble at these prices. I will be watching the share price closely to see how it continues to react to the "for sale" news over the next month or so. A small top up maybe on the cards.
