26/12/2004 16:55 | Bus maker's collapse hits portfolio 26 December 2004 WE can only hold our hands up. While investors enjoyed their second successive year of rising stock markets, the Midas 2004 portfolio was wrecked by the demise of one of our four tips. When we said this time last year that shares in bus and coach maker Henlys were 'a risky buy' at 921½, we didn't realise quite how true that would be. Several profits warnings followed and though we suggested cutting losses in March, when the shares slumped to 19¾p, our portfolio selections were for the year - so we held on. Henlys was eventually wiped out by a slump in demand for its products, the collapse of a joint venture and crippling debts. Not even the attentions of celebrated company doctor David James, currently advising the Conservatives on potential cost savings at Government departments, could save it. Trading in the shares was suspended in June and a financial restructuring in October left shareholders with nothing. Worse, the pensions of 2,000 current and former Henlys employees are likely to be cut by up to two-thirds as their scheme is wound up. | soysoy | |

12/12/2004 13:40 | Courts director transferred £3.9m into personal pension 12 December 2004 HOWARD COHEN, a former director of Courts, transferred £3.9m out of the company's pension fund and into a personal scheme just eight months before the furniture retailer collapsed into administration, the Sunday Times reports today. The Courts pension fund has a deficit of at least £14m and the company's pensioners face an uncertain future unless a buyer can be found for the group. The article says that, although Cohen was legally entitled to transfer the £3.9m, a pension expert believes that the trustees of the scheme should have used powers that allow them to reduce individual transfers if a scheme is underfunded. 'They should have taken the size of the deficit and the strength of the company's covenant into account. They have a duty to the people left in the scheme,' a leading actuary told the newspaper. The pension-fund trustees included Bruce Cohen, Howard Cohen's brother, and two of his cousins, Paul Cohen and Edmund Cohen. It is understood that Aon, advisers to the pension fund trustees, raised concerns about the transfer but these were allayed when the company made an extra payment into the scheme. The £3.9m was 15% of the entire fund. Cohen transferred the money out in March , while he was deputy managing director. In January the company had announced it was carrying out a refinancing and strategic review. Howard Cohen and Edmund Cohen declined to comment. Paul Cohen said he had no recollection of the transfer. Bruce Cohen said he did not know about it. Details of the transfer are included in the notes to the 2004 financial accounts. Pension experts warn that unless KPMG, the administrators to Courts, finds a buyer prepared to acquire the company as a going concern, the pension fund will almost certainly have to be wound up. | soysoy | |
04/12/2004 12:42 | USA PRESS Layoffs begin at Mayflower Vehicle Systems Stamping plant had announced in August that 375 people would be let go George Hohmann Daily Mail business editor Wednesday December 01, 2004 Previously announced layoffs at Mayflower Vehicle System's South Charleston stamping plant have begun, the plant manager said today. Plant Manager Richard Fix announced in August that 375 of the South Charleston employees would be laid off, beginning Nov. 1. Today Fix confirmed that the announced layoffs have begun. He otherwise declined to comment. Meanwhile, Union Partners of Cleveland is still working on a plan to buy the plant, Union Partners' managing director said. "We are still working on the closing," Union Partners' John Andrica wrote on Tuesday in response to an e-mail query. David Warner, executive director of the West Virginia Economic Development Authority, echoed Andrica's statement. "The financing partners are diligently working towards a closing," he said. Warner said the financing partners are Mayflower, Union Partners, the development authority and a bank. He declined to name the bank. In October, the development authority's board of directors approved Union Partners' request to assume Mayflower's existing state loans. Mayflower has one state loan with a balance of $186,170 and another with a balance of $3.4 million. Both are on plant equipment. In addition to taking care of Mayflower's outstanding loans, a buyer would have to arrange financing for the purchase of the plant itself. Mayflower bought it from Great Dane Holdings Inc. in 1996 for $165 million and has since installed several new presses. The current value is not public knowledge. Mayflower Corp. put its North American operations, including the South Charleston plant, up for sale last year. Mayflower Corp., headquartered near London, fell into the United Kingdom's equivalent of bankruptcy in March. The bankruptcy did not include the North American business. Since the bankruptcy, Mayflower's European assets have been sold and efforts to sell the North American business have continued. In August, when the layoffs were announced, Fix blamed the cutbacks on the loss of a major contract. He also said in August that the uncertainty created by the parent corporation's bankruptcy has made it more difficult to find work for the plant. Gov. Bob Wise has said it is important that a stable buyer be found. Wise said in August a new owner "could be of benefit because these folks would then be even more aggressive in going out to find business to justify buying the plant." South Charleston Mayor Richie Robb said Tuesday, "I think the Union Partners endeavor offers a glimmer of hope." The South Charleston plant stamps sheets of steel and aluminum into auto and truck body parts and builds sub-assemblies for General Motors, Saturn, Mercedes and Freightliner.

The FRC incorporates five subsidiary boards: the Accounting Standards Board, the Auditing Practices Board, the Financial Reporting Review Panel, the Accountancy Discipline and Investigation Board and the Professional Oversight Board for Accountancy. The AIDB is the newly established and independent, investigative and disciplinary body for accountants in the UK. The AIDB Scheme establishes the framework and sets in place the legal formalities of participation between the AIDB and the Participating Accountancy Bodies i.e. the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy. The focus of the AIDB is on cases which raise important issues affecting the public interest; other disciplinary cases will continue to be dealt with by the individual accountancy body of the member concerned. The normal channel of reference to the AIDB for 'public interest' cases will be the accountancy body primarily concerned. However, the AIDB will also have the power to call in cases whether or not they have been referred to it by an accountancy body. All Press enquires should be directed to: Cameron Scott, Executive Counsel, Telephone: 020 7208 4980. END | soysoy |
