Annual Report and Accounts 2010 Business Review Governance Accounts Other Information Looking Forward Bellway has seen reservations in 2010 return to a more normal selling pattern with a strong spring selling season. However, following the change of government in May and the emergency Budget in June, buyer confidence slowly ebbed away during the summer as increasing media coverage was given to the new policies of the coalition Government to tackle the deficit. Sales in the early part of what is traditionally an active autumn selling period have picked up, albeit only slightly, following the usual summer lull and it seems that potential homebuyers are awaiting the outcome of the Comprehensive Spending Review. Whilst the Board’s desire to increase volumes annually remains, it is ever mindful of past experiences, however, the Group currently has a strong land bank, a forward order book of £397 million and with £59 million of net cash, the capacity to grow the business should market conditions allow. The Board therefore remains confident as to the Group’s ability to respond effectively to whatever market conditions prevail over the coming months.

  • Rathbone Income Fund Update March 2020
    Rathbone Income Fund Update March 2020 So we come to the end of an extraordinary quarter. The Rathbone Income Fund fell back 26.2%, outperforming the IA Equity Income Sector, down 28.1%, but in line with the FTSE All-Share benchmark, midday to midday.* Unsurprisingly, the recent swathe of dividend deferrals and cancellations have also weighed on the sector … but more on this later. Our fund has succumbed to losses, which is never a nice experience, but there are three important silver linings: We are outperforming the sector, despite being hurt by our UK domestic exposure, which we had expected to come good after last year’s election; 3 months 6 months 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years Rathbone -26.21% -23.02% -19.67% -18.45% -3.71% 77.90% Income Fund IA Equity -28.14% -23.00% -20.64% -17.56% -6.23% 54.82% Income Sector FTSE All -25.13%** -22.02% -18.45% -12.19% 2.89% 53.57% Share Index Source: FE Analytics, mid-price to mid-price; **this figure is from close of day to close of day, not midday to midday We are sitting on a decent cash pile (7.6% at period end), a war chest that we wish to put to good use; We have put through a 3% rise in our interim distribution. The biggest drags on our performance were Carnival (which has now been sold), Restaurant Group (which we have reduced), Bellway, Legal & General and Lloyds Banking Group. Carnival became an obvious high-profile casualty of the coronavirus pandemic, so we sold the shares ahead of its call to raise more debt and equity funding.

Westbury plc (Westbury), headquartered in Cheltenham, is also a house building group comprising nine regionally based operations and a manufacturing plant. Westbury's UK turnover in its last financial year was £893 million. TRANSACTION 3. Persimmon is proposing the acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Westbury by means of a cash offer. It notified this anticipated transaction to the OFT as a formal merger notice on 24 November 2005. The extended statutory deadline is 10 January 2006. JURISDICTION 4. As a result of this transaction Persimmon and Westbury will cease to be distinct. Westbury's UK turnover exceeds £70 million, consequently the turnover test in section 23(1)(b) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is satisfied. The OFT therefore believes that it is or may be the case that arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation. 1 RELEVANT MARKET Product scope 5.
