Half year report for the six months to 30 November 2011
Headlines
-- Revenue from continuing operations GBP30.7m (2010: GBP37.0m) -- Profit after tax from continuing operations GBP0.49m (2010: GBP0.03m) -- Net loss (including discontinued operations) GBP0.33m (2010: GBP0.49m loss)
Chairman's Statement
The results for the 6 months ended 30 November 2011 show a profit after tax from continuing activities of GBP0.485m (2010: GBP0.027m) and a loss from discontinued activities of GBP0.817m (2010: GBP0.516m loss), which combine in an overall loss for the period of GBP0.332m (2010: GBP0.489m loss). Revenue for the period from continuing activities was GBP30.722m; the comparable figure for 2010 was GBP37.035m, which included a cGBP11m property disposal. No interim dividend is proposed.
Concrete Pumping
The decision to dispose of the loss making concrete pumping business was announced with the results for the year ending 31 May 2011. This division, whose activities are now classified as discontinued, have benefited from improved cost control and operational efficiencies, and a reasonably mild winter, with the result that the level of ongoing losses has been contained, albeit with additional provision made for costs of disposal. Meanwhile the disposal process is at an advanced stage, with completion expected shortly.
Construction
This division has performed well in testing market conditions with improved results compared to the corresponding period last year. While it remains particularly difficult to win new work in a fiercely competitive market, highly valued established clients continue to provide good opportunities which should enable this division to maintain its improved performance in the second half of the year.
Property
Rental income from the core investment portfolio has remained strong. The regional commercial property market shows signs of renewed weakness which may have a further impact on values during 2012. These conditions are adversely affecting development land values in particular, and they inhibit the Group's planned disposals of non-core assets.
Group
During this period, the Group put into effect the agreement to reduce substantially its guarantee commitments to joint venture companies. While this did not affect the profit, it did give rise to a GBP5m increase in net indebtedness. Other than in this respect, the Group is maintaining a stable cash position and is entering discussions with its principal banker, The Royal Bank of Scotland, over suitable facilities to take effect following its withdrawal from the concrete pumping activity.
In summary, the Group's property rental income and ongoing construction activities have performed creditably in difficult market conditions. Prospects for commercial property values remain a concern, as do those for an early return to profitable development activity. The second half of the year should see the disposal of the concrete pumping business, leaving the remaining divisions seeking to benefit from their established position in the challenging regional market.

1. The interim report was approved by the board on 27 January 2012.
2. General information and basis of preparation
The interim financial information has been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Group's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2011. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 May 2011.
3. Significant accounting policies
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2011.
4. Estimates
When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2011.
5. Going concern
After making enquiries, which include a detailed review of the Group's working capital requirements and an assessment of the likelihood of obtaining continuing support from the Group's bankers and renewal of facilities in the forthcoming year, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
6. Business combination
On 9 June 2011 the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital and voting rights of UKLP (BrynCegin) Limited, a company based in the United Kingdom that operates within the property segment, for a non-cash consideration. There is no material effect on the balance sheet.
7. Segmental information
During the period, the Group was organised into three operating business segments based on the different services provided by each division: Construction, Property and Residential. The residential segment has been transferred to the construction division during the period for operational purposes. The Concrete Pumping segment has been classified as discontinued during the period and comparatives re-presented.
As operations are carried out entirely within the UK, there is no further consideration of information on geographical areas in determining the Group's operating segments. The measurement policies used for segment reporting reflect those used for internal reporting and for the Group's financial statements. Inter-segmental pricing is done on an arms length open market basis.

8. Taxation
The taxation charge is calculated by applying the estimated effective annual tax rate to the profit for the period.
9. Dividends
The directors are not proposing an interim dividend in respect of the 6 months ended 30 November 2011.
10. Earnings per share
The calculation of earnings per share (basic and diluted) is based on Group loss after taxation and minority interests of GBP332,000 (2010: GBP489,000) and the 20,800,000 ordinary shares of 25p in issue at 30 November 2011 and 30 November 2010. The number of shares in the calculation has been reduced at 30 November 2011 for the 440,500 (2010: 440,500) shares held in the Employee Share Trust. The assumed conversion of dilutive options has no impact on the number of shares and so diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.
