Interim Management Statement
29 April 2010
Parkwood, the specialist support service group, issues the following Interim
Management Statement
covering the period 1 January 2010 to date.
Trading in January was adversely affected by the severe weather conditions,
particularly in the Leisure Division where a number of centres were closed due
to the snow and ice. After this difficult start, trading conditions have
improved with more satisfactory levels of performance in Spring.
In April the Group completed the GBP27.6 million Leisure PFI contract with
Bristol City Council to build a new leisure centre and car park at Hengrove. A
profit of GBP0.7 million will be recorded in the interim results from the
development fee and sale of equity in the PFI special purpose company. The
subordinated debt for the project was provided by Equitix Leisure Limited who
also purchased the equity in the PFI special purpose company. Parkwood
Consultancy Services will undertake the project management and management
services. The leisure centre is scheduled to open in February 2012 and will be
operated by Parkwood Leisure under a 25 year contract with an annual value of
GBP2.3 million.
The flow of tender opportunities has been affected to a certain degree by the
current political climate but the Group is working on a number of new business
opportunities. The Group's current order book is GBP492 million (31 December
2009: GBP471 million).
The Group has maintained positive cash balances throughout the period and has
benefited from lower interest costs as a result of its reduced gearing.
